Coming close to her pollination schedule ...This girl is really taking a log time to flower. I cat wait to see those pistils.

Heeey all! Sorry for the huge amount of photos but this week was crazy. So many things happened and my lack of knowledge clearly showed up. I ended stressing one of my plants for no reason! 😱 At the start of the week everything was normal until I noticed that one of Roko's buds looked weird. It seemed to be too dry and orange for my tastes and I didn't know what it was. Obviously I started to ask around and I got so many mixed messages haha. Some people said it was nothing and I should not worry about it and others said they were 100% sure it was botrytis or budrot... aaaaaaaand I got paranoid lol. 😵😨 At first I tried to keep calm and ignore it for one day but the next one the bud looked even worse and that's when I feared the worst. What if it's really budrot? In general the values I write in here are approximates or an average of the week.. and usually my tent never goes over 60% of RH (in the dark it stays between 50% to 60% when I water them and on some rare occasions it reaches 65%). This time, after I checked the thermometer it said "75% of RH" but I did not know if it was during their sleep time or maybe some time after the lights went on) so once again I feared the worst! What if the plants stayed all the night with that amount of RH? Was that enough time for them to develop budrot? What if it's still nothing? Yikes. 😭 I had to do something and I did, I wasn't going to risk everything! I started removing the worst looking leaf to see if there was anything mushy or ugly between it and the pistils but I didn't see anything (maybe I was safe and that was something else? Or maybe the budrot was even deeper and I could not see it?) After reading I realized that the best idea was to cut the bud in half and then slice it to "see" if there was anything inside... so I did it and absolutely nothing showed up 😖! Those were good news! Sadly tho the poor plant had to go thru some stress after cutting that bud in half (at least from what I saw the insides were tightly packed and the photos showed some really cool stuff) The rest of the week was uneventful (compared to what I feared haha) and some leaves started to change even more in color (I love it). I think I'll start with the flush next week or the one after that one. There are some amber trichomes...! Thanks all for checking my diary! Hopefully you'll all find the pictures interesting! PD: None of the plants have seeds in them, even when one of the sliced buds seemed to be making them!

Fast Buds CA is growing nicely. Starting to see some green come back to the leaves. She seems to be liking the overdose of Recharge. She's a little on the small side, but the bud sites look great! 👍

Extrema producción de tricomas de esta variedad! Gran parte de los frutos lo usaré para extraer rosin, su resina se ve ideal para este propósito. Fragancia exquisita a ponche de fruta dulce, con notas ácidas y un fondo de especias. Como mencioné anteriormente dejaré la parte de la reseña de efectos, sabores y sensaciones para cuando los cogollos estén secos y curados, por ahora solo puedo apreciar lo que mi vista y olfato me permiten captar. Totalmente conforme por la calidad de estas flores y agradecido de los amigos de Sweet Seeds por la confianza. Será hasta la cata entonces, buenos humos!

Just water till the end now , last feed was just water and Hesi boost .

I sowed cantaloupe bag seeds directly to flower box drip irrigation.I transplanted my white widow seedling to flower box. So the new line up this run is cantaloupe, blueberry, Girl Scout cookies and white widow. Cantaloupe seeds sprouted and i will keep the most vigorous grower.bb is throwing pistils.GSC is producing first set of true leaves. At the end of week 2 cantaloupe has first leaves so does white widow. My Gsc has first set of true leaves and my blueberry is putting out pistils and trichs.Things are going well

Had major struggles with humidity due to cold front, but got it in somewhat better ranges. My planet of the grapes started wilted/ drooping mid week [other strains were fine]. Did some research and it turned out they needed more water.[ I normally water every other day, feed every second feed and I top dressed before flipping].I fed them, got the humidity back in acceptable ranges. I also gave them some tea [molasses, banana peels, Gaia green bloom,all purpose and worm castings] They seem to be happier. Very eager to defoliate at end of this week been taking few leaves here and there but nothing crazy. Decided to build a suspended 2ply scrog net seems to be working great. Thanks for viewing, appreciate any advice or comments. Happy growing everyone 🌴

Que pasa familia, estamos otra vez actualizando la quinta semana de floración, y es que ya van cogiendo unos colores que ya van apeteciendo y todo, el aroma se noto esta semana la sala está llenándose de un aroma bastante dulzón. Quite ya el big bud y empecé aportar un poco de overdrive así se van acostumbrando, y tengo que añadirles algo de Pk que tendré por el cajón esta semana que viene sin fallo lo añado. El ph está siendo controlado y ahora mismo está regulado a 6.5 yo creo que es buen ph para que la planta absorba el Maximo de nutrientes, hasta aquí es todo nada nuevo sin problemas con este proyecto. Buenos humos 💨💨

Buds beginning to appear. I will perform a defoliation on day 21.

I am going to start my new week 24-11-2019 because the soil is telling that it needs water and it's technically the beginning if the new week so why not. If you look at the still Pic the leaves look like a deficiency or maybe light burn I did not notice that earlier today. I have si ce raised the light and I will check tomorrow to see if the color of the leaves have turned green all through the veins where there is some signs of yellowing. If I see change the maybe both concerns have been addressed because I also increased the ppm's in feeding.

Literally she’s beautiful. I can’t even tell you how happy I am with how she turned out. The Rosin is crystal clear amber goodness. She tastes so creamy and sweet. The profile is just pure bliss. One of my all time favorite plants. Yields great. Dense as ever nugs. Tastes fabulous. Sweet seeds keep it up 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Que pasa familia, vamos con la sexta semana de floración de estas Black muffin F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros y el trasplante se realizó correctamente. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las jodidas han estirado bastante, ya veremos que ocurre como va todo. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

. **PATHÉ DISPATCH — THE TERPENE FRONT, WEEK ELEVEN** *[newsreel crackle, brass fanfare]* GOOD EVENING, AMERICA. Two soldiers have fallen. And this week, citizens, we must report a TRAITOR of a DIFFERENT sort. DATELINE: THE CHOP. Privates Apollo and Orange Haze — felled two days apart, HONORABLY, at the height of their aromatic powers. Apollo, whom the seed merchants PROMISED would smell of mango and tropical cocktail, delivered NEITHER — but detonated a LIMONENE payload so pure our correspondent nearly saluted. The marketing department, we note, remains AT LARGE. Orange traded her mandarine perfume for a warm, roasted, spicy haze — the smell, our man insists, "you only meet twice before you know it for life." *[ominous timpani]* BUT NOW — THE TWIST. And this one, AMERICA, comes from INSIDE THE MAN. The operation was timed at TWENTY MINUTES. A clean extraction. In and out. The chamber PRE-COOLED, the plan IMMACULATE. *[record scratch]* It took him ONE HOUR. And WHY, citizens? Trimming, yes. Securing the colas, certainly. But also — and this program has obtained the notes — our correspondent LINGERED. He stood among his fallen troops and, we quote, "briefly inhaled all the terps he knew he was losing this instant." He STOPPED TO SMELL THE CASUALTIES. And every minute he lingered in mourning, his own body — warm, sentimental, BREATHING — raised the temperature of the very chamber built to preserve them. HE WAS THE HEAT SOURCE. The man wept over the volatiles, and the weeping cooked them. There is no radiator to blame this week. There is no fan. There is only a grower who loved his plants SO MUCH he stood there warming the room with his GRIEF. *[stern voiceover]* "Nobody has to know," our correspondent reportedly told himself. *This program knows.* *[timpani, softer now]* AND SO THE TENT STANDS NEARLY EMPTY. One soldier remains — Private Cinderella Jack, transferred beneath the blue light in a NET-MANEUVER of such delicacy she never felt the ground move. She is now, in our man's own words, "the landlord." He reports the space feels "clinical." He reports that time "stands still." He reports — and AMERICA's heart goes out — that he is thinking of getting a PET. Hold the line, soldier. Trim jail is temporary. The buds are drying true. *[fanfare, film flickers out]* THIS HAS BEEN A DISPATCH FROM THE TERPENE FRONT. STOP SMELLING THE CASUALTIES. GOODNIGHT. --- Detailed Notes: Harvesting 2 Cultivars --- Day 71 marked chop day #1 for Mephisto Genetics: Apollo Haze (x Mango Smile) Auto. Super Orange Haze Auto followed 2 days later. For Apollo, there is no mango to be found, the tropical cocktail is also amiss. Once again I am a bit plastered by Mephisto's terp descriptions - secretly still thinking they might potrait what they favorite pheno smells like. Aha! - you may think to yourself - Pete's got no terperinos! To the contrary: Mephisto's Apollo Haze delivered a hardcore limonene monoterpene explosion on trichome rupture, that retained very well into age. Her bud structure & density possibly acted as evaporation shielding against higher temps here, under which limonene usually get's lost. Super Orange Haze Auto aged fast & well, at the same racey pace as Apollo. Her mandarine aura had vanished a week ago (this is peaking my interests as I would love to retain that). Caryophyllene, with a thick spicy tingly and warm wooden / almost roasted note, has been taking over. It is that typical haze smell you have to encounter only twice until you know. Harvesting Process --- I had to remove their colas individually from underneath the scrog, as not to damage the flower sites. A scrog net, while costing money, is cheap to replace compared to bud site damage, where it feels like I groomed many trichomes individually. The scrog would have collapsed, causing Orange to tip over, should I have cut her out instead. Instead of 20 minutes as planned, I took well over an hour to trim tons of excess foliage, tackle transfer & securing, take last photos and just briefly inhaling all the terps I knew I was loosing this instant. The chamber was pre-cooled, but an hour of me in and near the tent alone caused a huge swing. This bothered me a lot in hindsight, so I went a little crazy on fathoming the entire thermal chain from live plant to closed drying chamber. For Auto Cinderella Jack, the entire grow tent needed to approach drying temps before even starting to snip anything. Auto Cinderella Jack --- Now the sole owner of the space, ACJ was getting a lot more light ballast with two other strains failing to absorb radiation. Moving her underneath the blue metabolite factory light was a priority for her last days, but removing the scrog was simply gonna cause too much damage. Instead, I removed the scrog from the tent poles, left ACJ to hold the net for a bit, moved her, then re-applied the hooks on the opposing poles. This turned out to be a neat little maneuver - ACJ kept trucking on. run#5 is coming to an end. The space feels clinical now and not like a home to 3 happy plants. Mentally, this can be fairly draining, as cultivars are becoming beloved guests in the household. No plants, no product, risks of botrytis ruining everything - the prospect of trim jail under special hot summer circumstances is daunting. This is the empty stretch, that little dead phase, where time just stands still. I think I should get a pet. See you next week, when we have another look at the state of Cinderella Jack, the landlord.

Plant are doing great smells are coming out amazing and bud are tightening and growing rapidly. Daily uploads until harvest.

Day 22 and there have been significant changes in the size of the fan leaves. The stems are looking much fatter and more sturdy as well. Cheech has her 5 nodes, perfect and ready for topping. I am going to put off topping her though until Venezia is ready and that should be in the coming couple of days. Other than that, changed water and adjusted the lights about 3cm higher to keep them at 60cm from the plant. Again I left the Milwaukee PH controller to run for about an hour to get the PH down to 6.0 Day 25 and ladies have been topped at node 4, keeping node 3 and cleaning node 1 & 2. Light LST on Cheech’s axillary buds which are already well developed Day 27 - following up with gentle LST twice daily, tightening up the formation of the mainline. I’ve noticed what seems to be a bit of stress on the leaves of Cheech (see photos) which is affecting both plants under the same light. So I’ve moved the light up a few centimetres and rechecked and adjusted the PH which was at around 6.4.
