Week 9: Growth, Clones, and Preparing for Buds This week brought some important changes to the grow! The plants stretched significantly, taking advantage of the rainy weather, despite the temperature fluctuations. Overall, the conditions are supporting their development well. Notes: I made a few more clones, and so far, all of them are thriving. It's exciting to see a 100% survival rate for the clones so far. Out of the 12 plants, I identified three males. Two of them have started opening their pollen sacs, and I鈥檝e begun collecting. The pollen is being stored in the freezer for future breeding projects. I did a light defoliation to improve light penetration to the lower branches, which should help promote even growth.

Hello everyone ... please excuse me if I start the diary from the end of 4th week of flowering, but I'm new and wanted to post something right away :) Anyway ... I have these three beautiful girls ... two are in light mix + coco + perlite + micorizze(MICOSAT F {Italian product}) + guano Kalong and Atami worm humus ... instead one(SSOIL written in photo) is a super soil with biobizzlight mix / biobizzcoco / Atami worm humus + leonardite + alfalfa + kelp + krill + azomite + basalt + calcium carbonate + phosphorite + neem soil(1/3substrate ) and micorrize ..in to the top only light-mix/perlite and coco with a little bit of humus ... they suffered defoliation, also caused thrips and various problems that let me to conclude that it was better to follow this path ... ah and the grow rom the walls have been removed, hot cause ..... The plants imself are very vigorous and resistant ... fairly uniform growth, takes a lot from Critical, and even perfumes are very similar for now, always tending more to Critical with light notes of kush ... but it is still early ...... Ps. Sorry for the English 馃槄. Update On advice, I decided to move one of the three (the one with the super soil) in a separate diary, also to be clearer and more precise ... sorry for the confusion, but I'm learning馃槄馃檹鉁岋笍

Well, marking the first week of flower. Lots of pistils, flower has begun. Just wildly hot weather, 33c days, full sun every day, we've had 6mm of rain in 2 months, average rainfall for June / July should be 60mm. As much as I love the weather, climate change / water scarcity worries me. Luckily we have a good clean glacier fed reservoir with strict water restrictions in summer. Made a compost tea in 5g bucket, compost, molasses, kelp, Epsom, some coir, and aerate for 24hrs. Removed some inner nodes not catching up to the cannopy, and some lst clips for the tallest nodes. Cannopy is looking really great and FLAT! Drones the only way I can get up there to see, must be pushing 7ft easy by now. Stalk is insane, biggest i've ever grown, going to need a chainsaw to remove it! Fingers crossed for a dry August / September. Hoping weekly spray of LCPT will keep Botrytis away, last fall we had 98% humidity, not much hope with that!

Finally starting to smell that heavenly smell and seeing budlets exploding everywhere. Both girls were defoliated a little at a time over the past week to expose any prime bud sites. So far both strains have been lovely and easy to grow as long as Nutes are fairly light. Will keep updates through the week and as always happy growing everyone!馃槉馃

Que pasa familia, actualizamos ya la quinta semana de crecimiento de las Purple OG Kush de Dutchfem. El crecimiento fluye sin parones el color que tiene es bastante correcto las 3 en general se ven muy similares, misma altura misma formaci贸n. Ya vamos viendo c贸mo progresan quiero pasarlas a floraci贸n ya. Spannabis 2023 a sido incre铆ble ya tengo ganas de que se haga el a帽o que viene porque la de 2020 me quede con much铆simas ganas, conoc铆 a muchas gente del sector que ya conoc铆a por redes pero por fin nos ponemos caras, y lo dicho incre铆ble la innovaci贸n de los productos , las gen茅ticas que se llegan a ver, y los stands pfffff, de 10. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 25 grados y las m铆nimas no bajan 19, as铆 que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad tambi茅n son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aqu铆 es todo, buenos humos 馃挩馃挩馃挩

As she continues to stretch into the holidays and new year I am looking forward to growing this monster outdoor in 2025 probably in a 10 gallon pot.

In week 10 I have some plants, which have grown taller than the rest (canopy is appr. 80 cm high now). In order to not have to raise my lamp, I rather correct their height by 'supercropping' them. Supercropping is a technique developed by SOMA from SOMA_seeds and works VERY WELL. Instead of topping your plants (=cutting off the main stem) it is better to take the main stem between your fingers (appr. 15-20 cm form the top) and brake the fibers inside and then bend it downwords. This way the stem will stay intact and heal itself and you dont loose the main buds growing on it later. In the video above I show and explain how I supercrop a plant. The plants are now getting more and more into flowering and therefore I switch the dimmer on my SANlight EVO4-120 plants to 100% now (see in video above). The BIO NOVA nutrients are increased as well a little bit, so the plants can build big buds.

February has arrived and with it high humidity. Garden is looking great so far. Keeping an eye out for PM and doing prevention spraying with some organic fungicide. Expecting lots of rain next week too. The haze next door to this blue berry girl is stacking up huge buds. Getting excited! I've decided not to attempt to cover the plants as it's far too humid and some are 11ft tall. Just going to let nature do its thing.

The second week wasn't too problematic for Super Skunk #1. The seedling is steadily growing and I went forward with only feeding it distilled water. I recently came across some growing information and heard about the magic of bokashi so I figured I would incorporate it into my grow this time around to see the effects. I also decided that based on my experience last grow, I would switch over to a more kelp based nutrient during flower. What I came to realize (amongst other things) was that I had most likely underfed my plants during flower, and although my "no bottled nutrients" challenge got me through veg. without a problem, it appeared that my plants could have used a bit of a boost during flower. This time around I plan on sticking to: -rice water -coconut water -banana peel water -onion/garlic peel water during veg. and once I decide to flip to flower I will go back to using my trusty Green Plant "Medi-one" bottled organic nutrients. *the second plant that I replanted is looking pretty strange so I'm thinking I might need to germinate another seed*馃槕

Sup everyone. After the first feeding with half strenght they reacted really well with no burnings, first feeding pH was 6.4. This week they received another feeding with full strenght (following Remo's schedule) and went for 1ml/L of each of the nutes used. Except for VeloKelp and Nature's Candy which are more beneficial at this stage of the plant, I used 2ml/L. This time reduced pH to 5.9 for better absorption of nutes, they reacted even better, no burning. I will transplant them to a intermediary pot and then later to the final pot. Little accident happened, LED panel fell over on the side of 2 of them but only hurt some the leaves with very few scratches and a bit of a branch damage, but no big deal, luckily, they are fine. So far, healthy. See you next week. Thxx! 馃檹

Day 45 - Found the GC's main branch broken this morning. My error was tying it down too much. Never had plants so big so I'm still learning the best way to LST them in order to fit them in my closet. Takin the broke with philosophy: I never topped a plant, so I'm curious to see how she will develop from now and how much she will yield. Keep growing and learning every day 馃檹馃徏馃挭馃徏馃尡 Day 48 - Ladies are stretching much more every day, going to be two big girls 馃構馃構馃構

Still feeding full strength. When the calyxes swell I will stop feeding for a few day to a week to allow for senescence to take place.
