Si it's been a pretty good week. Getting very impatient at the moment. Trying not to dwell on my plants too much, I just need to leave them to finish maturing. Iv pretty much started flush now for 2 weeks so that will take me to the end of week 8. Update - Monday So my thoughts have been drifting towards the next round. Iv been writing a list and so far Iv decided I want to explore organics further so will most likely be amending my soil with dry amendments such as different meals. I also would like to make better use of microbes so I will most likely be using at least recharge. Hopefully mammoth p also but I'll buy that one as I need it further down into the bloom phase. Something else I also really want to try next cycle is the use of other crops to help with IPM and also help feed the soil. Two I have decided to use already are basil, which is meant to be great for keeping bugs away and also garlic. I want to try and use crops that I will also want to eat that's why I decided on garlic. I'd also really like to try and grow a couple vegetable plants alongside my cannabis but I am a little unsure of which plants will also grow happily with the same light cycle as cannabis. IRS a bit of a strange light cycle for here in England so I'm unsure of what to grow but I'd love it if I could grow some squash, corguettes or aubergine. These are my staples for my diet so these would be incredibly handy. I am about to move so will have a dedicated small room or large walk in cupboard, depending on how u look at it. I would love to be able to make slightly better use of the space and if I can feed myself even a few times from them as well as them improve my cannabis via post resistance and resin production (they use companion crops in lavender production to raise essential oil production) then it seems silly not to do so. It will be I interesting to pick out cover crops for my 12/12 larger flowering space, but also for my 18/6 space to grow alongside the autos I plan to grow in there. Obviously different light cycles will let me do different plants. I think it will take more initial planning on my part, but I feel once I have it all dialled in after 4 or 5 runs it will be a lot cheaper and much more sense sustaining. If anyone reads this and knows of any decent potential companion crops I can use please message me. Like I say garlic and basil so far but have heard beans are a great way to get lots of nitrogen in the soil so they might be a good one for the 18/6 tent. Also I was thinking and I'm a little unsure of when I'm going to want to harvest so I've decided to leave a week between harvesting each plant. First one will be pulled this weekend at week 7 of flower then week 8 of flower for the next and the last will be week 9. That way I can sample over the coming weeks and decide which I prefer for the next cycle. Update - Tuesday got my jewelers loupe today but i think im going to buy a usb microscope instead, as its really difficult to hold it steady enough for long enough to be able to tell whats going on with the trichs. i tried to shoot a few pics through it on my phone with limited success. I think there are about half trichs cloudy atm, maybe slightly less but like i say its hard to tell. Update - Friday Ok well yesterday i caved and harvested and hung plant 1 of 3. Couldn't resist. Now that I have this one to fuxk about with I'm less inclined to want to bring the others down. Smells unbelievable pinot, fruity and skunky. Have just used a cardboard box with lines strung through the top to hang from. The plants were so small and had no side branches so I had to tie it to the stem from the lines. Not a lot on it I dont think but the main cola was pretty chunky. Interestingly the topped plant had more tops obviously and also has some mad side branching that's at the same level as the main colas and they are all about the same size as the one cola on the non topped plant. I half expected it to just be double the size of the topped but less of them. Note to self for future reference: Always top plants Use bigger pots

Week 5 (20/02 - 26/02) I made no progress with the LST last week, hoping to do better the next grow. Some secondary branches developed more than usually but not as expected. I haven't been effective enough with the training. The last day of the past week, the two fat banana moved into pre-flowering, while the blue cheese is still into vegetative stage. During this week, I will start to add bio-bloom and top-max together with the bio-grow. The light will be to 40 cm from top of the plants at 100% of its power. No changes to the heating/cooling parameters. 20/02 D28: - 21/02 D29: watering day. Added to 2.5 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 1ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. This evening, being secondary branches still flexible, I've tried to horizontally extend them with ropes in order to give them more light, let's see what happens in next two days. 22/02 D30: leafs sprayed with tap water 23/02 D31: watering day. 1 liter of tap water only each plant. Evening check: plants became thirsty; the soil seems to be almost dry even if I watered them this morning. 24/02 D32: watering day. Added to 2.5 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. 25/02 D33: leafs sprayed with water. 1 liter of tap water each because they are growing and drinking a lot. 26/02 D34: Added to 2 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. They seem to grow well and faster. The blue cheese seems to be in pre-flowering, almost a week later than the two fat banana.

Very very happy with how this came out, I saved a branch and some smalls to smoke myself and filled an entire gallon bag to be put towards fresh frozen bubble and eventually into sum amazing rosin!

Day 36: Girls looking pretty happy. Still some discoloration going on. Doesn't look to be spreading though. Day 37: Ok, the girls obviously were not happy this morning. I watered with quite a good amount of runoff and measure the PPM at 3200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm surprised they are still alive! Had to make a quick run to get some water for a flush as I only have 5 gallons worth. Ran 2 gallons through each of them at a ph of 6.4 around 9:30 this morning. It's now 5pm and they have pulled through great. These OG Kush are extremely resilient. Day 38: The girls look way better today after flushing yesterday. Two of the pots were almost completely dry already. Went ahead and fed at 500ppm with runoff. Day 39: I think it's dialed in now. They are looking amazing and still stretching pretty good. Went ahead and pulled off a handful of leaves between the 5 of em. Day 40: Did a little more defoliation and opened them up a bit. I am super worried about getting any type of mold or any issues in particular for this first round. One of the girls needs a touch more but ran out of time. Girls are looking super healthy! 💪 Day 41: They are looking super awesome. Got the runoff dialed in. 750 going in and roughly 800 coming out. May up it in a week or so. Day 42: Nothing new to update. Girls still looking amazing. I think the stretch may be slowing just a tad.

We’re closing in on what I’d call the subjectively ideal harvest window. Amber trichomes are now appearing on the sugar leaves, which (by rule of thumb 😄) means the rest are likely cloudy. The aroma is exactly as expected — like smashing your face into a bowl of cookie dough. That’s modern cultivars for you! 🍪🌱 I’ll be chopping the plants in the next few days and will be back soon with the full harvest report. --- Grow Conditions (still consistent): 💧 Watering: 1500ml every third day 🌱 Nutrients: None (flushing, previously BioBizz schedule) 💡 Light Intensity: ~1000 PPFD 🌡️ VPD: ~1.82 kPa 🌞 Temperature: ~28°C 💦 Relative Humidity: ~50%

Passata anche la seconda settimana di fioritura🌻 le ragazze 🌱stanno bene💪 e sembrano gradire la loro dieta Plagron🍨...nel prossimi giorni quando inizieranno a nascere i primi boccioli ⚘️ vedremo se la mia impressione è esatta....🧐👍

Endspurt 🤗 Es wird sich hier nur noch um Tage handeln🙌 dann heißt es endlich... Erntezeit😅 Es duftet herrlich und die Knospen sind ordentlich geschwollen und können noch ein kleines bisschen😉😁 Fortsetzung folgt...✌️😊💚

I can’t say enough! Terpy piney gas, frosty, yield, beautiful bud structure! Just a perfect plant all around. 🏻💚

Scrog is filling up nicely. This may be the final week before starting 12/12. Plants are looking good and feeling good so I think it's time to flip the switch. Just filling out the scrog a bit more. Going to defoliate a bit more at the bottom and next week is flowering. Contest Pheno seems to be the largest in the top right corner. Scrog is keeping it nice and level as possible. A bit stretchy she is. But very fast growth on her.

Evolution 💪

Notbtoo much stress this week....LST, Screen in place...bout ready to just let it take its own course as soon as the screen is filled....the TD is growing great...wanted to try FIM with it but ultimately just topped it while i had the chance...as i defol the GG i figured while im just tossing out useless branches i figured id try a few clones out, 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ yea i know most think its a myth but why not?...anywho, stay tuned for the bud show in the next few weeks...surely to be quite the sight the way this GG is fillin this screen...salutaions growers🤙🤟

Chubbing up this week. Nice smells too

In week 9 my TRICHOME-WONDERS are doing GREAT! All plants continue to grow new flower crowns all over the plants. The branches starts to form colas now...its an impressive sight. The healthy green color and speedy devlopment tells me that the BIO-TABS nutrient tablets are still doing a FINE JOB! I love how convenient and time-saving my waterings are, since the plants ONLY GET PURE TAB-WATER. No more measuring and adjusting ph- and EC-levels feels like a LIBERATION...lol 😄 A few plants like the Strawberry-Sour-Siesel from DevilHarvestOriginal-Seeds are getting so tall, that I need to control their height. My favorite method to do this is SUPER-CROPPING! This is a method promoted by SOMA from SOMA-Seeds and works perfectly to control the height of a plant without having to top her. I pinch the main-stem of the plant (appr. 25-30 cm from the top, right above a node) all around in a circle, so hard that I can feel the fibers inside brake. Then I bend the top part of the stem downwards (ar at least 90 degrees to the side) and let it hang there. The plant will start to heal the stem where it was pinched (it will form an elbow-like shape) and turn the bent part of the stem upwards again. During this time the side-branches grow further in height and the plant will get bushier instead of taller. After the stem repaired itself, the buds on it will turn towards the lights as well and will continue to flower. This way I can control the height and still harvest the top-buds later.

Casey's Rollex OG is doing good. She was switched to flowering times 4 days ago. She had a solution change 2 days ago. She is growing really well. Just waiting on the stretching and flowering now. Thank you Spider Farmer, and DutchFem Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

she is doing good but more leafs than my fastbuds plants… we‘re excited for the last weeks
