End of the first few days of the transition. They all got a significant defoliation to open up space in the canopy for branching and the plants responded incredibly well to it. Plants 1&2 started to show immediate deficiency signs after defoliation and I upped the nute ratios by about 50%/liter with the Berkana. Voracious feeder and growers these are for sure. That said, their growth rate is phenomenal and the side branching is especially impressive and responsive to training. Veg. Maturity on all of em for the last week so it’s a fast growing strain all around👌. Well throw down the scrog net in a couple of days after we hack out the lower portions of each plant and take clones for all of em but the runt (#8). The clones will be flowered fast in the aeroponic cloner and pollinated for F3 generation seed. Bud characteristics on this run will then determine which clones get tested first based on best characteristics of the lot. So far this run has been incredibly impressive but only the bud quality will tell the true tale. Here’s hoping for continued good progress. ***Grow notes: stretching at about 1/2” per day over the last 3 days of transition. Side branching reaching enough maturity to start taking cuts. Minor deficiency signs post-defol. So increasing nute ratios on a slightly accelerated basis continues to be the norm.

Been a rough week with temperature and humidity as well as starting the flush probably half a week early. Hopefully back to smooth sailing for the final couple of weeks. Just as long as it doesn't get much hotter outside .

She looks awesome, she has a small size but is a nice bush full of nice colas, very hard dense nuggets, the aroma is exactly tje same in every black cherry punch 🍒 I'm very happy about it, this one is one of the 2 purple phenos, very nice strain, let's see how this finishes! 💚✌️💎👨‍🌾

Day 43. Light is on max output, heat enormous and they RUN !!!! thought intensity will stop them a bit , but i think i do only worse ... We have +30 heatwave in UK, i live in attic , so for 4 more days everything will be out of control. Watered today. 6.3 phed water. I love simple and affordable Mars Hydro products, if you can cope with heat TSL2000 can do magic in your tent ! Will update after heat wave us over. Should be in 4 days back to +20 ;))) Day 45. They GROW !!!! Distance is insanly small, but i have 30 cm of space left, wont move light for a week, then i will try to have 20 cm at least again. Planing last top up, need two more waterings before it, so it should be on last day of this or first of next week. Thinking to take down all LST at that time, need pots to breath better, too thin fabric, they dont keep form. Day 47. Drink every two days !!! 4 liters goes to nothing !!! Huge, still streching, tops almost rubbing TS2000, heat 30 inside, humidity 65-68 ..... will need heavy clearing again !!! Bomb getting stacked !!! Happy Growing !!!!

It was a 8 day dry and cured for bout a month I was left with 1 oz dry wait. the aroma of the buds were a strong musty jet-fule and fermented fruit 🍉. Braking it down by hand left my fingers sticky and covered in triphones❄️ so I switched to the grinder . When smoking the inhale you get a sweet jet-fule taste with a hit of pineapple on the exhale 😮‍💨 it taste like a dank watermelon pineapple smoothie. I role my self a gram maybe a lil more but the first couple hits really hit the chest and left me with a energetic head high but half way through the joint It was a relaxing full body high that left me feeling like I was floating through time. Is this girl and really want to grow her again.

NOTES: Keeping the pH between 5,8-6,0 and EC at around 1,4-1,6 depending on system. EC at 1,5 seems to be optimal and my measurements are staying pretty steady at that level. Humidity is lowered to around 50% if I can. The tops are now at around 45-60cm height from the soil. Continuing the last heavier defoliation/pruning process that I started yesterday at the end of 2nd flowering week. I saw no signs of mold or any other issues as I went through the plants. After this week I'm going to change the nutrient solutions on the tanks and fill them with fresh nutrients with minor changes: Dropping the amount of Grow from 1,5ml to 0,5ml and increasing the amount of Bloom from 1,5ml to 2,5ml. After the change I'm only going to refill the tanks without adding any Grow and will instead increase the amount of Bloom to 3ml. Propably a one more change of fresh nutrients until flushing with Final Solution prior harvesting. Day64 (19.12.) Some more defoliation focusing on the upper growth revealing bud sites below them and keeping off the moisture. Already got a trash bag almost full of leaves since they've been pretty bushy plants on average. Day65 (20.12.) Continuing the last defoliation process. Day66 (21.12.) Continuing the last defoliation process, pretty satisfied with the results so far. Light penetration and airflow have increased greatly so I don't have to worry that much about humidity or possible mold any longer. Each strain has started flowering, all plants are females and buds have started to develop. Defoliating didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I thought it would. Day67 (22.12.) Day68 (23.12.) Refilled and added some nutrients with a stronger Bloom/Grow -ratio (~4:1) and left my girls to enjoy the Christmas Holidays as I did. I'll be gone for around three days, after that I'll change to new fresh nutrients as I mentioned before. One Ayahuasca Purple seems to be ahead of others, and a few other ones have clearly started to develop some buds too, rest of the plants are following closely behind. Each strain has some truly astonishing individuals, and I think Ayahuasca's have shown most variety between different plants. Overall everything looks pretty good I think. Hopefully can say the same after a couple of days as I come back. Happy holidays everyone! Day69 (24.12.) Day70 (25.12.) I added another Led light to my tent just before the lights turned off. Everything looks amazing!

Day 49 This smaller plant is at day 49 and has clearly been topped earlier in its growth cycle. The topping has encouraged a bushier structure, with multiple main branches now developing evenly. Instead of a single dominant top, the plant is pushing out symmetrical side shoots, creating a wider canopy and setting the stage for multiple bud sites. The new growth is lighter green, showing healthy development, while the older fan leaves are darker and strong. The plant looks compact and well-structured, with tight internodes and balanced growth. The topping has slowed vertical stretch compared to an untopped plant, but the overall result is a sturdier, more manageable shape. There are no clear signs of stress or deficiency — leaves are healthy, edges are smooth, and the color is consistent. The canopy is lower and denser than the bigger plants, but that’s expected after topping. With some time, the side branches will continue to catch up, forming a nice even top layer. This plant is on track for a strong transition into flowering, with the topping already setting it up for a more even distribution of colas and better light penetration.

Germinating with RO Water + Liquid Seaweed. Using shot glass for 48 hours to break open the shell, and a paper towel for 24hrs to grow the taproot. Then transport to Jiffy peat pellets (soaked in 300PPM seaweed + camg) for initial vegging.

D01 - 25/09 -> New Home for my fellows clones coming from one of biggest plant I ever saw: a Royal Queen Seeds Skunk XL D02 - 26/09 -> I think she has a little zinc deficency, so i dropped down to ph to 5.5 D03 - 27/09 -> Topped one girl to see what happens. If everything goes well, I'm going to topping all of them. Increased EC until 1.3 D04 - 28/09 -> Topping of other buds D05 - 29/09 -> Rest for the girls. Increased EC until 1.5 D06 - 30/09 -> SCROG Net Setup and a little of defolation. Tomorrow I'm going to cut all the branches below the red line (see picture). I want to make a main lining alongside the SCROG Net with 2-3 branches and cut off all the branches below except for the girl on the left that is too short yet. D07 - 01/10 -> I Cut off the branches of only one girl, waiting to see her reaction to the stress before to do the same to other girls. Increased EC until 1.8.

Lady MimosaE was able to get fatter in peace. The humidity is borderline. Fluctuations of 40 -70%. But I will leave it like this, humidification with a fogger and bucket is running. Otherwise I only watered with water Light Power: 100% Day 79 Flower #3

They go fatter day by day, still clear trics, and some nuggs are littel under developped further down stem, but massive colas covering the whole surface, smells like fruity candy and sticky as hell, resun production is insane. I just dont eant to get mold drying this, any yips? Whole plant or chop of piezes and hang or dry net, colas are real fat and rock hard.. counted round 35 top colas

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had rain the previous night and intermittently throughout the day. Temperatures were in the low 70's with cloudy skies. Day 2 we had clear skies sunshine. Temperatures were in the low 80's. Day 3 we had partly cloudy skies, low humidity, and temps in the lower 80's. I watered about 1.5 gallons from the hose. Day 4 we had lite showers in the morning, partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 80's the remainder of the day. Day 5 we had showers in the early morning until afternoon. Then it was mostly sunny with high temperature around 79. Day 6 we had lots of sunshine and temperatures in the low 80's. I watered about 2 gallons from the water hose today. Day 7 it was mostly sunny with temperatures reaching 82°. This week was successful. The plants nearly doubled in height. They've weathered all the rain and are thriving.

Ha sido una excelente semana, en la cual podemos distinguir que las flores han crecido bastante, además se han fortalecido sus propiedades organilepticas perfeccionando un aroma a "Horneado" además de una nota bien marcada a menta con suaves pinceladas a Chocolate, el cual me hace recordar las galletas que se hacen para celebrar la navidad! Esperemos que las flores crezcan aun mas!

Day 29 - Topped both ladies at the fifth node and removed any growth below. Growth exploded since transplant and first dose of nutrients. Day 30 - Watered both ladies with around 100ml of water. They recovered from the topping and look as healthy as can be. Very happy with progress. Day 32 - Misted both ladies. Will water tomorrow with another dose of light nutrients. Day 33 - Watered both ladies with around 250ml each. Increased dosage slightly from last feed to see how they take it. Day 35 - Both ladies taking the feeding like champs. Vigorous growth showing in both, planning to top them again next week and remove any growth below the topped nodes. Misted to keep them nice and hydrated.

High temperatures and nutrient burn. At this point i have no idea what i am doing. Every now and then SD2 and SD3 release typical weed smell but apart from that no other smell. The stems upon rubbing and touching smell like cinammon,cloves and orange zest.It reminds me of fanta drink.

We are make progress now, check out that trichome production this week. Stunning! I cleaned up the bottom one more time. I will be top dressing this next week and it will be the last before harvest.
