As promised in the last entry. A lot of the early growth is going to be grouped in this week of veg for the diary. I'm going to consider this week 4 of Veg moving forward since that's about where my oldest plants are at this point. My newest plants are about a week old and since I slotted myself one of the Banana Butter Cup S1's to the first tent, the genetics I want for the reversal are finally preserved although she isn't looking the best. Not a lot of coverage on tent 1 I know. But this will change probably next week once we start getting into training them as I also am switching the VS100 out for some corn bulbs, since it seems to be a bit much for the smaller tent, a lot of the smaller plants have been suffering from light stress. I'm not interested in ever having that Banana Buttercups die before she yields me at least 100 seeds to run for the foreseeable future in my quest for Banana Terps. I'll have another Grow going probably in August this year for a bigger breeding project in 5x5 I hope. Until then stay tuned and I'll have more pictures next week!

When you show love to a plant, she will do the same to you. That’s what’s happening! This gorgeous Euphoria is a gift from nature (and RQS 😄). Not much to say about the ferts, which are doing their job. Flowers are getting bigger, so yeah, cool!

118 CM! What-a-stretch!! Lol I forgot to give her week 2 ferts and gave her week 3 ones instead (removing Voodoo Juice, Tarantula and Piranha, adding B-52, Big Bud and Nirvana). No problem because she already had two portions of fungi and bacteria when I had problems with the timer some weeks ago. Well she’s getting bigger and bigger. I’m a Sativa lover, and this is definitely a big gift to me.

Dropped RQS Diesel Automatic this week, she has not sprouted out of the soil yet, but its only been 4 days. I expect her to pop in the next 24-48 hours. I'll add new pics once she sprouts. Planning a slightly different strategy with this girl. no HST, only LST, and FIM'ing instead of topping. Looking forward to watching what happens. She is front-center in the group pics. My Perpetual Harvest strategy…. Originally my plan was to start 2 seeds each month, but had some seeds from one breeder that did not germinate early in my rotation. Ultimately, this caused single seeds to pop and messed up my 2 at a time plans. But, that seemed to work out OK, because now I think starting one seed every 3 weeks is a better strategy. This should provide me with 4-5 plants at a time, instead of 6. By the way, I never had any germination problems with seeds from other breeders. (I don’t want to bad mouth any breeders, but the seeds that didn’t germinate came from a popular breeder/advertiser that is most commonly known by 4 letters). Plants get fed once weekly on weekends. Seedlings get water only. Plants in vegetation get water and Recharge. Flowering plants get water, Recharge and Big Bloom (Fox Farm). Feeding is done using 2 gallon watering can. Any additional waterings during the week are given on an as needed basis per plant. I lift the plants to help determine which plants are more dry (lighter) and provide water any plants via water bottles and watering spikes. I also rotate each plant 90 degrees every day in an effort to make sure the plants get equal lighting from all sides. I rotate the plant in place by turning the pot 90 degrees (I am not rearranging the layout of the plants in the tent on a daily basis). The soil is an ‘organic super soil’ I mixed myself using organic top soil, organic potting soil, organic compost, organic peat moss, organic perlite, organic vermiculite, lime, epsom salt, expanded clay pellets and Jobe’s organic fast start. I am also recycling my soil and water with Recharge when using recycled soil. For plant training I have tried a variety of things, but my plans here are to do LST bending only, no HST this time. Around 3 week I'll do a FIM cut/pinch once there are 4-5 nodes established. I will also be doing some defoliation around the 3rd week of flowering. I have been doing HST bending and having good results, but think the HST may be causing the plants to take longer to harvest. I hope LST only will help increase harvests while getting me to harvest sooner. Setup: 1- Grow Tent 24”x48”x72” 2- Viparspectra 300W LED’s (1-V300 & 1-R300) 1- Hanging 100w CFL (26w actual) 1- Carbon Filter w/ 190cfm Fan & 4” ducts 1- 6” clip-on fan 1- 700w electric heater - oil filled radiator (in front of air intake behind tent)

Starting week 3 today, with a challenge ahead with this little bad girl! It seems to be a lack of Nitrogen, and I'm pretty afraid of burning the plant. I'm feeding the plant once each two days, with Seaweed Tonic, 150ml with the suggested dilution from the bottle. Now I have also a bottle of Canna Terra Vega, with NPKS 3-0-3-0. Is it a good idea to start feeding the plant, with also this nutrient? The soil is a mixture of 80% organic soil + 20% of coco coir. Could be a lack of nutrients from the soil? What is the best agenda to follow with nutrients? (: Cheers!! UPDATE (17/02 - Day 17): based on the suggestions made by many members, I've tried to gather the best of all and decided to make some moves in an effort to save this plant, and to avoid the same situation to the other 2 plants: #1 - Lifted the LED panel to double of the height, so the distance to the plants went from 50cm to 100cm #2 - This change with the distance from LED panel helped to low down the highest temperature achieved during the day from 27.5°C to 24°C #3 - Since day 15, the plants haven't been watered, in a move to try to dry a little bit the soil, once I was watering every day with something close to 250ml a day. Now I'll return with water in a few days, while I wait for some signals from the plants that they are needing water #4 - Pushed forward the idea to start feeding them this week, and maybe I give just a little bit of seaweed solution to root development when I come back with watering. Hope it works fine!

Videos are uploading finally 👌🏾 baby's have been switched to bloom nutes ,and moved from the nursery to the main room I decided to build a scrog to help keep the power of the mbap's under control 🌱🌿🌲🌳 was a very easy and cheap build really happy with the quality. Grapewalker kush are booming the one that sprouted already topped I decided to go with main lined kind of training it's gone to a lovely shape , may even put in the scrog who knows The gold glue all I'm gonna say is the topping went down a treat , it has formed really thick stems and branches and seems to be quite tall hopefully this and training will unleash the beast

Day 22 : First day of flowering phase ! I watered her (without nutrient) at Day 21. Day 23 : Give her nutrient today, and I noticed one branch folded 😟 I made it hold with a "prothesis" during the time it repair... Despite this the branch seems to be healthy for the moment ! Day 24 : The first pistils are here ! Can't wait to see the bud flowering 😁 Day 27 : The folded branch hold alone now even if there is a big scar, so I prefer left the "prothesis" for some days... Day 28 : She continue to grow (+10cm ~7 days)

Everything is moving along nicely. She's drinking 3l+feed (@75% recomended dosage) every couple of days. Some of the lower leaves are starting to show some necrosys but there are no signs of diseases or pests. It didn't filled up the screen as nicely as I wanted to, but it seems to stretch at irregular intervals, so I may still have a chance to fill it up a bit more.

Feb 14, 2018: Seems my fears were unfounded, I'm not seeing any spots of mildew and I think in 4 days I would see something if it was there. Water with plain water, just ph'd nothing else added. staked up a couple of the buds, all the other palnts are managing to hold each other up, the fan leaves seem to grow into each other so the canopy is a solid moving mass. When the oscillating fan hits the colas the whole canopy sways slightly. For future grow I plan to have more space between plants, and will need a screen/net to hold everything up. Feb 12,13 2018: Watered with 10ml/Gal Tiger Bloom, 10ml/Gal Big Bloom, 2tsp blackstrap molasses, 1ml Cal-Mag per gallon. Ph'd to 6.5 ish. Lost my SD card so didn't get any photos 2/12, but took some with my phone on day 73, and then found my SD card. High quality photos are back tomorrow mourning. Feb 11, 2018: Had a bit of a freak out, thought i had spotted a couple PM spots forming, think it was just the leaves resinous sticky. After the scare decided to do some major cleanup of old leaves and ALL dead leaves, i know it wont help fight PM, but added a small 6" fan circulating air below canopy. Humidity has been constant due to running a dehumidifier so it stays between 45-50 lights on and off.

DAY 25 Topping for the second time (pics before topping). Definitive numbering of the plants. These Cookies are the smallest plants of the selection ; height varies from 12 - 17 cm The slowest growing plants of the collection are the Royal Cookies. You can see that the leaves (in week 4) have all remained green. They showed no lack of nitrogen compared to the other strains, because of their slow growth.
