SECond week ok! 👽

Day 60 and a new week, with lady #2 starting to show her age by getting some more yellowish fan leaves. Sugar leaves on both started to show a very lovely, deep violet color. By breeder information they should be ready in 60–63 days. I guess it will be a few more in my case. Lady #1 is foxtailing a bit. Summer grow, definitely, and it was over 30 °C outside most of the daytimes, so I couldn’t avoid peak temperatures of more than 31 °C fully. Like every indoor grower – no restriction to this kind of plant only – I like to see self-grown green become big and bushy, but I guess with a 1,60 m tent it‘s better to stick with shorter specimen. Even some fan leaves are getting into their autumn dress now, and wow, I like their style! Pistils are still white to more than 50%, so ne reason to check for harvest proximity or to feed them pure water only. Day 62: With their cola foxtailing, tallest bud is now at 91 cm. Color is gaining saturation. A bit more intense leaf curl on very few of the uppermost leaves; nothing to worry about at this stage. Think I can do a microscope tour soon, even if I know it’s too early. ;)

2 weeks til harvest

Vamos familia que finalizamos la séptima semana de floración de las Blueberry Cheese de ZambezaSeeds. Ya esta es la última semana que van a recibir la alimentación de Agrobeta. A partir de esta semana solo estarán a Agua. Progresan muy bien las flores están hermosas y bien resinosas, estoy muy contento con el resultado hasta ahora. Y os digo que pronto empezaré a germinar lo del nuevo proyecto. Seguro que os gusta son variedades bastante top. 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 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 45%/55% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Coming soon

Mes plante vont bien la plus petit va être en one bud en 12/12 depuis la germination La plus jeune en floraison est en bonsaï et elle est vraiment cool Et la grosse lemon ts1 a encore le droit à au moin 3 petite semaine de flo avant le cut en tout cas une bonne odeur acidulé ce dégage des que j'ouvre la box ça donne très envie ! Insta: growing_slwl420 ✌️

Servus Moin! Die Super Double Cherry wurde entlaubt und gelollipoppt. Ausserdem habe ich die Triebe auseinander gezogen, damit alle Buds genug Licht bekommen.

Starts last week (8th) my friends! Flush started on day 121, i have planned 10-12 days cause i did a massive wash on the first day and its run off was 530 ppm. During this week: Ro water Low temp during day and night (to stress a bit) Only water (for now she is still drinking) Last day-s full dark (last stress) Aaaaaaand for this week it's all! :) I will harvest in few days, after 10-12 days of flush :)

May 19, 2024 Day 29 This week we focus on training. I'm debating on doing a couple different things to see what happens. I'm definitely tying down branches. But I may top one of the taller ones and train the branches out to see how different it looks than the other tall one. Sour Diesel A is now sitting the tallest at 11.5". Her branches aren't as long yet, but she's taller than B. Her stem is still pretty flexible, so I'll be tying her down from the top. Sour Diesel B has lost her place as tallest plant. She sits at 11.0" tall but has wonderful side branching. Definitely ready to tie down and spread out, maybe. I think if I top any plant it will be this one. She has 7 nodes now and she's definitely old enough for it. Also, her stem is really stiff now and I don't think I can bend it at all. So I may research topping. Sour Diesel C is the same size as D sitting at just 7" tall. Her internodal spacing is really tight still. I'm hoping she starts to grow soon. I will swap her and D out with A and B tomorrow. She has beautiful leaves with nice deep green. Super healthy. Sour Diesel D is actually spreading out her nodes now. She's still only 7", but I'm not expecting her to be super tall like the other 2. We'll see how tall she gets. But she has some nicely even internodes now. Great color. All 4 ladies got a half gallon of plain water PHed to 6.1 today. And all 4 drooped just a tiny bit and not for long at all. But that half gallon seems to have done the trick. No watering for a few days. I haven't changed the lighting yet as I still have other plants in the tent, but it will be changed soon enough. The DLI really should be at 30 mol/m²/d, but that's just not happening at the moment. The environment is looking great for these 4. The humidity is at 65% but the temp is a bit low. I'm running the tent at 73° because of flowering plants. I've been trying to get it to 75°, but then the humidity spikes. It's pretty dry out today, so in theory, my room humidity should drop. It hasn't, but it should. That may let me get the temp up to 75° without making it too warm in my room. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 68.4% VPD: 0.84 kPa May 20, 2024 These ladies are looking absolutely great! Especially A and B. D is also starting to shape up. C is a bit lost. Maybe she needs to be moved to a different spot. I think I'll rotate her out with D. Sour Diesel A looks magnificent. He's growing very quickly and has a bunch of nodes. The branches are starting to stretch as well. Looking good. I can start training anytime I want now. I think I'll start tomorrow with this one. Sour Diesel B is beautiful with her long side branches and a healthy green color. I should start training her today, but I'll also wait for tomorrow. Sour Diesel C is needing a bit of love. Not really much I can do with the space I have available at the moment, but I think I'm still able to manage. She still looks healthy and happy, just short nodes. Sour Diesel D is coming to her own now. She is showing great signs of stretching and spreading out those nodes. She also is starting to grow branches out finally. Very healthy plant. No watering today. Obviously, because they were watered yesterday. I'd say a good 3 days before needing another watering. I'd also like to mention that I'm already seeing pre flowering signs. Little white pistils coming from where the bud sites will be. So I'm thinking these ladies are in pre-flower, or very close to it. It may take another week for them to really show it, but by then, they should be pretty big and alone in the tent. The lighting is the same, but they are starting to grow into it. Well, at least A and B are. C and D will need a bit of a push when the tent opens up for them. I'm also thinking they will need risers to keep up with the other 2. The environment is perfect for these ladies. The temp is a little low for them, but nothing crazy. 74° but the humidity is still at 65%. So we are looking good for now. It should stay this way for the next week or so. At least until I get the other 3 flowering plants out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 67.7% VPD: 0.86 kPa May 21, 2024 A bit of a to do today. Training happened and so did pics. And some well needed environmental adjustments. Sour Diesel A is a perfect candidate for tie down LST and so right was I. She got a perfect 90° bend just to the edge of the container. I couldn't be happier with the result. Being as tall as she is, the bend only went about half way down the stem and didn't touch the angle of the base. Perfect. Unfortunately, I can't tie down the side branches yet as I don't have the space to do so. But I can let the whole plant catch up before I do another tie down. I might just pull the branches out around the base of the container to make sure all the space is taken up by bud sites. I should t have a problem. It will be slightly different from what I normally do, but I can adjust when the tent frees up. This ladies has started pre-flower now. I can't wait for the stretch to really start. Hopefully it takes a couple more days. I still have to pull another plant. Sour Diesel B was also a neat perfect candidate for the top bend. She is much stiffer and the bend only went down about a quarter the way, but it's still a perfect 90° angle and still just inside the edge of the container. That will be a long the edge by tomorrow. She is also in pre-flower now. 31 days makes total sense, so I'm happy. Her side branches are beautiful and long. I'll need to start tying them down soon. No clue how I'm going to manage it with such little available space for now, but I can always adjust when the tent clears out and there's plenty of space. Sour Diesel C is growing, but not as tall as one would think. It's just the position in the tent they are at. They are under 3 other plants and not getting enough light. As soon as I move the Tropicana Cookies out in a couple days, I'll be able to give them as much light as they need. I may even have to raise them up a bit. We'll see how things go in the next few days. Sour Diesel D is another story. She isn't looking to shabby at all. Nice spread of nodes, she's starting to stretch a bit, but nowhere near as much as A and B. But she still isn't much taller than C. I'll be watering all 4 ladies tomorrow I think. Each with a half gallon of water. I'm trying the wet and dry method, kinda. I'm giving a little extra water than I normally would and waiting an extra day. So far it seems to be working wonders. In a couple weeks, they will all be bottom fed for the rest of the grow. I've found that 3 gallon containers take in about a third of a gallon a day during peak flowering time. Maybe a half gallon a day, depending on how big the plants are. And how many roots break through the bottom of the container. I like the bottom feed because the ant takes what it needs and I can build a nice crust on the top soil for pest control and protection. The bottom feed wick system works wonders and keeps the containers between 45% and 55% saturation. It seems to be on point for cannabis. I may be wrong, but that's the reading I get for all of my plants. Especially the bigger ones. As I said earlier, the environment got some much needed adjustments today. The central air finally kicked on and that blows out super dry conditioned air. Very clean. And keeps the humidity down. So the humidity didn't drop as low as it should have, but it takes time for the moist air to be forced out. At least the tent is at around 60%. And dropping slowly, but dropping. At this stage, I think it should be between 55% and 60% humidity. the temp is staying at 75°. A great temp for all ladies in the tent. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.00 kPa May 22, 2024 Not much going on today. Made some training adjustments and will be watering tomorrow. Also, there's about 50 days left in the grow according to Seedsman. They say the flowering time is around 45 days. Add a few for pre-flower and there we have it. 50 days. Let's see how well I do for the next 50 days. I hope I can harvest by then. Sour Diesel A is looking fantastic. She took quite well to her first bend, so I pulled her down just a little bit more. If course now the side branches are growing quite quickly. Very healthy and happy plant. Sour Diesel B also looks amazing. Her side branches are all getting nice and long with really good internodal spacing. She took swimmingly to her first bend and as I did with A, I pulled her down a little bit more to keep the main top at 90°. As soon as space frees up, I'll tie all the side branches down to get a nice canopy going. Sour Diesel C is beginning to stretch out a bit. The nodes are finally spacing out which of course means the stretch is just about to start. Huge leaves. Also overlapping the other 3 plants. Sour Diesel D is starting to look really good. Still shorter than A and B, but catching up, especially now that they were tied down. The light will be dropped in a couple days and I'll be adjusting the DLI. It should be at 35 mol/m²/d and it's not. So I have to lower the light about 12" and drop the power down to 60%. The environment is great for these ladies. So far we have hit the mid 50s% humidity and are at just over 61% now. The Central Air is off for now, but will kick on anytime. Once that turns on the humidity will drop again. Currently I'm stuck using my portable AC that blows wet, room temperature air that jacks up the RH. The temp is still pretty good at 57°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.7° RH: 59.4% VPD: 1.20 kPa May 23, 2024 I was going to water today, but I was really busy with my last Tropicana Cookies wet trim and harvest. The soil moisture content is around 33%, so it should be fine until tomorrow. Speaking of harvesting, now that the Tropicana Cookies are both gone, I have plenty of space for now. They still need to be tied down and trained. I'll be harvesting the two Banana Purple Punch's in a week so when those are gone, there will be plenty of space to really train them and get myself a really nice canopy. Sour Diesel A looks great! Her branches are reach straight up though. Definitely because of the tight quarters and light intensity. Now that she is under the light and not impeded by another plant, she should start stretching even more. Sour Diesel B is looking amazing as ever. As with A, her branches are sticking straight up for now. That will be adjusted starting in a couple days I think, if not tomorrow. Sour Diesel C is starting to fall a bit behind. Not by much, but a little bit. I'm sure she will bounce back in no time now that she has plenty of light. But I'll keep an eye on her. If she turns out smaller, I still have the 2x2 in a couple weeks. Sour Diesel D looks great! She is catching up to A and B in girth. Great internodal spacing and side branching is looking good. I expect her to take off with the extra space now and more access to the light. The lighting needs to be checked and I'll do all that tomorrow. Along with the watering and possible LST. The environment is finally at a reasonable level for these ladies. It was kinda cool today, but the humidity is down to 52% and is just right for this stage. The temp was about 72° for most of the day. But will climb back up in a matter of a few hours. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.1° RH: 60.2% VPD: 1.15 kPa May 24, 2024 Watering day! Each plant got a half gallon of plain water PHed to 6.1 from the top. The last Tropicana Cookies is now out of the tent and now there's plenty of space. I have them staggered with A in the back then D, B then C. Not too much more space, but enough for me to pull branches out a bit. Honestly though, they are making their own level canopy, so I might do some very light training this run instead of heavy. It all depends on how they look in about a week. Speaking of in a week, I'll be pulling the 2 Banana Purple Punch's out in a week. That opens the whole tent up and each planet gets their own quadrant. I think I have the timing right on this. Hopefully I'm right and these ladies will be able to be trained more. Sour Diesel A looks great. Her single tie down increased the height of the side branches and she is creating her own flat canopy. I'm definitely going to have to pull branches apart and tie them down soon. Hopefully I can hold off for a week. Sour Diesel B has a wonderful canopy going. Her branches are all falling into place around the whole plant. Opening up each top for all the sunlight they can get. It's pretty impressive. I'll definitely have to train her down soon. I may have to in less than a week as well, so this might make things pretty tight again. Sour Diesel C got a perfect top bend today. Her branches are a little behind and she's making the standard Christmas tree structure. So this bend should fix that and give her the start of a nice level canopy. Sour Diesel D is coming along nicely. I accidentally broke one of the main stem fan leaves. No big deal, but it was still a mistake made. Oops. Her nodes are starting to spread out a bit, but she is definitely a compact plant. It's too soon to tell how big she will get. So far it looks like she'll be stretching, so who knows. Maybe she'll get to 2 ft. The plants have grown into the light and will need an adjustment in maybe a week. I'll be checking the DLI later today. I'm pretty sure they won't need any changes in the immediate future. We shall see. Update: I checked the DLI and got a reading of 24 mol/m²/d. Much too low for these ladies. They should be around 35 mol/m²/d. I'll have to figure out a way to increase the intensity without hurting the other plants in the tent. They should grow right into it though. Now that stretching is about to begin. We shall see. I'll update again if I figure out a solution. The environment is back up to 59% and the temp is around 76°. It's ok I guess, but I'd really like it down to about 55% to 50%. 50% would be great for this week to be honest. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 56.6% VPD: 1.17 kPa May 25, 2024 It's the end of the week and the weather sucks! Its rainy and humid out. Really humid. So the tent is now suffering. Sour Diesel A looks really good. A little sparse on one side for branching. I am not a fan of when this happens. I need to pull out about 4 branches to get an even spread and I can't at the moment for two reasons. Firstly, there just isn't space yet to spread the branches out as needed. Some of the branches are fairly tall, but the top is still taller. It's really stiff so I can't bend the top down again. Maybe during the stretch I'll be able to, but not at the moment. The second reason is side branch size. I have to move 4, but only 2 of the branches are long enough so far. Sour Diesel B is looking absolutely amazing. She has a level top and an even spread as well. I technically shouldn't have to train her, but I'm going to as soon as she has the space. Sour Diesel C looks really good. She took perfectly to the training and has a perfect 90° bend on the top. The rest of the canopy is a little behind, so I may have to pull the top down again tomorrow. By then the side branches should have caught up. Sour Diesel D is going to be my untrained plant for this grow. I train all my plants, so leaving this one alone is nerve racking. Lol. She looks pretty good. Side branches aren't very far behind the top, but it's definitely going to bush up and maybe grow fairly tall. We shall see how she goes. Maybe I'll have a 3 oz top. The environment is a mess. The temp is at 75° which is fine, but the humidity went back up to 60%. It's not bad for now, but when they hit flower, the humidity needs to go down to 50%. 55% would be ok, but I'd rather 50%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.1° RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.30 kPa

You should try this one. I will update when she dry.

I've turned down the lights again to 60%, and with the increased feeding last week, the GMO and Glookies really seem to be getting back some green where it was almost gone. The overdose in N from CalMag Agent seemed to have done the trick. Some of the lower leaves on the Glookies are already quite dark green, and since I expect to harvest (some) in 2-5 weeks, I don't want to overfeed it now. So I have reduced the CalMag Agent level again. Sour Strawberry and Acapulco Gold are unimpressed and continue to slowly fade. They have also gained a bunch of weight again, all in all it's going ok now.

Commencing week 3/Day 15 on November 7th* My 🍋 🍰 (Lemon Cake) & 🌻💣 (Flower Bomb) cross stock/stash has been transferred into foam cups with Pro-Mix. Light water with spring water and misting and they look like happy babies under the same lights in my parlor/living room they have been under since being sown. After transplanting the personal stock; I moved the germination tray and dome along with the remaining GZs, BHs, 818s, and RD into the basement aka 'grow area' to acclimate: as this will be their new home. This basement is my hydroponic grow area and has a much lower ambient temperature - which is great for flowering - but can be tricky with vegging depending on how this winter 2018 treats us New Englanders. We shall see. Also the humidity is harder to control but I believe this year I am better prepared to manage optimally. So now in order to follow along I must explain this. I have separated the seeds doc from my own and the feminized ones I have paid for. The stats reflected in the diary that you will now see Will Follow the hydro setup but I will continue to explain in the comment section the soil grow up stairs stats. Day 15 my personal stock will remain upstairs underneath the 600 watt umbrella Hood that is dialed down to 250 Watts. (Which is shared with house plants). The lighting shedule here is 12/12. the intention here is to basically treat them as houseplants and be happy with whatever I get while I take note of phenotype variation and maybe hopefully I'll find a keeper or two 😄 They are now in one quart size foam cups of Pro-mix. the ambient temperature is 75 degrees and the humidity stays around 55. Day 15 my paid for/professionally bred seedlings were acclimated to their new environment in the basement for a little while and then transplanted into their new outfits: 3.5 gallon deep water culture (DWC) buckets with 6 inch net pots, lava rock medium and regular 2 inch airstones. These plants are under a predominantly T5 lighting with the exception of two being under T5 and a diamond series LED with flowering Spectrum turned completely off and vegging Spectrum dial down to only 50 Watts. The lighting plan here is to keep them under 24 hours for just a few days. Day18 the Gorillaz are beastly little things. They are growing the fastest and largest. The Boss and the Raspberry are close behind the GZ and tied for second place. The 818's still seem to be runt-like. Otherwise all in the hydro looks healthy. Also last night I put timers on so the plants are getting 16/8 (in the form of 8hrs on followed by 4hrs off. This happens 2x per 24hr day. Reason being that I've read the rate of photosynthesis peaks at 6hrs and then descends) lastly I've been PHing daily down stairs only making minor adjustments and keeping the PPM between 550-600 ppms Day18 the Parlor stock is still doing well also. I've noticed this so far as differences:. The leafs are smaller and darker then the basement strains. And there seems to be more stem growth, or maybe stretch. Otherwise these plants are rivals the others in size. Except for the 2 🍋 🍰 seedling that popped open almost a week after the others. Day 21Nov21 - the PH is staying nice around 5.8 for 3 days now with no minor adjustments. Removed all mini plant stakes (ie paperclips etc lol), little baby seedlings no longer need help staying propped up. Root hairs are poking out in every direction of Root Riot cubes, (see video) excited because once those roots hit the waterrrrrrrr 💣boom explosive growth! As far as growth goes all three GZ still in lead. I might even have one early starting purple💜 🦍 baby (see pic of GZ2 DAY 21) *This is day 15 from seeds being sown on Oct 22nd, not popped open and or tap root showing etc.

This queen starting to get

Hey guys so a few weeks have passed number 5 is looking nice , structure is coming along really good and expecting her to fil out over next few weeks 😁

Day 70, end of week 10, about 6 weeks into flower for the OG Kush, and everything goes smoothly ✌️🏽😊 The plant keep putting on some weight and size, and starting to give signs that she's about to finish! 😋 Trichomes seem mostly cloudy, although there are some clear as well, i have a feeling I'll start see amber in the next week... So tomorrow I'll decide if its time to start flushing or not. For me deciding when to start flushing always seems like the hardest choice to make during the growth cycle 😅😂 Anyway this monster plant looks great! buds are cover in resin all over, and the weight start to feel good. This phenotype is very different then a classic OG Kush when it comes to the bud appeal, as fast-buds describe the buds as rock hard (like a classic kush should be), The buds on this phenotype are more open in structure....🤷🏽 They still looks amazingly frosty and delicious though 😋 So, next week, harvest or not, we shall see😎✌️🏽🌱

Durban Poison Quartet: Week 21 Grow Diary Update The Durban Poison photoperiod crew is looking magnificent out on the deck, soaking up the late-summer sun as they power through their vigorous development. Key Updates & Nutrient Regimen * Seabird Guano Top Dress: Following the schedule, the squad received their first dry top-dressing of high-phosphorus seabird guano into the 25-gallon fabric bags on August 2nd, paired with a deep 3-gallon watering session before sunrise to lock in the nutrients. * Routine Management: Subsequent top-dressings are locked in for the first of each month leading up to the target harvest window in mid-October. * Deck Stability: Resting comfortably on their heavy-duty furniture dollies, the quartet makes smooth work of mobility, supported by custom training and perimeter companion defenses.

42 days into my project - "Girl on the balcony on the north side" she is already blooming :) she looks really good, knowing what conditions she has to endure, this week there was not much sun, there was a lot of wind and rain, I used a little LST for the girl, the girl drinks = every other day 1.5 liters of water 6.3 ph, every 3rd watering I give biobizz nutrients :) good luck to everyone :).
