11/30: I harvested the first 6 today, flushed 5 more for the second time, and fed everybody else for the last time. I washed all the branches using the 4-step method ascribed by Doc Bud at High Times/420magazine and many other notable cannabis connoisseurs, with slight modifications: 4 x big plastic totes/bins 8 x ounces of 12% hydrogen peroxide (or 32 ounces of 3%) 2 x cups of concentrated lemon juice 2 x cups of baking soda 10 x gallons of water in each bin Unless your tap water stinks, you're safe to use tap water for the procedure, but I used an inline carbon hose filter to fill my buckets. Bin #1 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the hydrogen peroxide Bin #2 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the lemon juice and baking soda Bin #3 - 10 gallons of water as hot tap water Bin #4 - 10 gallons of cold tap water I was mainly concerned about removing as much lint and cat/dog hair as possible, but also rinsing off any residue left from all the various foliar applications of humic/fulvic acid, kelp, axiom, big bloom, and tiger bloom I did. First, I put my leaf blower on low speed and blasted my plants thoroughly, one at a time, replicating 50-60mph winds for about 10 seconds and watched as a whirlwind of debris and hair flew out the back door. Bud-washing: Pluck any necrotic plant material and any old fan leaves off while they're still on the plant. Then, take a handful of branches and submerge them in Bin #1 for about 30 seconds, agitating it, removing from water, submerging again, agitating, etc...then remove it and let it drip out for a few seconds...then repeat the process with Bins #2-4. Let it drip dry overnight with a little bit of airflow, then dry as you normally would...baskets, boxes, etc.. I hadn't watered these plants in a few days, so they were almost in draught, but after doing this procedure, they were fully hydrated(turgid) and seemed to have brighter colors than before. Nice!😍 12/1: The bottom part of the closet seems empty with only 9 plants in there.. 😟 I cut the harvested plants up and put them into drying baskets in the top of my closet with a small oscillating fan on. I've got the temperature fluctuating between 68f and 75f and the RH is staying between 48% and 52%. To do that, I had to take down the small light in the top of the closet to fit the drying baskets up there. So, I moved the 3 shorter plants still up there down to the bottom and put them on top of buckets. Now the bottom of the closet looks full again!😃 I'm anxious to finish up this grow so I can get busy growing the Fastbuds Fast Flowering Photo Testers!!! When I harvest the next 5, I'll flush the remaining plants really well and that will be all the flushing they'll get..I'll let them dry back out for a few days and harvest them. I've got to make some minor improvements to the garden (adding UV, blue and red/far red booster panels and intake fans) That should put me on track to start germinating them by mid-December if all goes well. 12/3: ...early a.m... The harvested plants are already dry!?!?? And have excellent texture??? Wow..bud washing is for real..roughly 48 hours after I hung them to drip dry, and 40 hours after I put them in baskets in 50% RH/70f conditions with moderate airflow...usually takes 4 or 5 days to get a good slow-dry in the same conditions, so I'm convinced that this must be attributed to the bud-washing procedure. I'm sold! Here's the talley so far: plant #1 - 115g (plus 13g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #2 - 108g (plus 18g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #3 - 119g (plus 15g larf) - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] plant #4 -  92g (plus 6g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] - the smallest plant in the main area plant #5 - 112g (plus 22g larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] plant #6 -  75g (no larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] - grown in upper area under 200w ...afternoon: I flushed 6 of the last 7 plants for the first time today and harvested 4 more of them. I washed them and hung them to dry.....my dripping wet bathing beauties!😍

Einfach nur wunderschön.

Yesssss there we go, that's what I like to see!!! They are very healthy and thriving now that I got the light figured out a bit better. I will start turning up the power next week, right now it's at 65%. Started giving flower nutrients. Will remove the driver from the tent in a couple weeks. Overall I'm very happy with the tent situation right now. Cool to see how the plants recover from topping and training!!!

Last Sunday I increased the nutes so that the ppm was on the higher level (600-625) as the feeding schedule showed. Dec 9th I started to see some lime green (video) leaves on new growth. The ppm would go up mostly & down slightly, but the lime green spread & eventually turned yellow (last pic from today). I did a water change the other day & lowered the ppm/nutes to around 575-580 range. I've been reading around that this might be a sulfur deficiency? Some suggested adding Cal-mag. Today I added 2 ml more of Cal-mag & snipped some of the darker fan leaves that had some damage. I ordered epsom salt, waiting for it to arrive (tomorrow). Any other suggestions/diagnoses are welcomed! 😊

29.9.2022 - 49 days when my little girl germinated from the seed The third week of flowering my BCN Power Plant 🌴🌴🌻 Nutrients: Jungle IndoBox - I serve as much as last week Advanced Nutrientiens - Bud Candy - Carbohydrates for My Plants 🍭🍭 Buds stimulators 🌼🌼🌼: Jungle indaBox Environ x Advanced Nutrientiens - Big Bud remains unchanged Bud Ignitor I no longer do ATAMI - ATA CALMAG - When growth under LED lights, it is recommended to use Calmag and ATAMI is an excellent brand Plants of nutrients tolerate well, occasionally there is a small stain on the leaves, but it is not a nutrient burns Training: Lst - only mild training, I tied some twigs to the edge of the pot with a string so that they do not shine 🌞🌞 🌞🌞 Defoliation: I mainly remove large leaves, so that they do not blame the flowers and also cut off the lower leaves. The plant will thus have more power to put energy into the buds 🍃🌸🌸 General: Branches of plants grow symmetrically, have many Blooms, stems are strong and healthy, leaves correspond to the age and phase of the plant, reacts well to nutrients 🌾🌾 Light: A really amazing sponsorship light Mars Hydro TS 1000 💡💡 Fragrance: Girls really smell, this one goes gently after pungent and earthy 🌶️🌍 Thank you for your opinions, smile and fun with my diary, you can watch me on Twitter 🐦: @ Targona666 See you soon ❤️

Plant has been getting straight pH balanced water this last week and minimal nutes. It is showing some slight nute burn so I let off a bit and raised the light canopy about 6”. I discovered that what I thought was a calcium or potassium deficiency was actually a rookie grower error by me. I have an RO system that I use to water all my strains in the grow room including this one, but when adding nutes to the water, it takes too long so I had been filling them up with well water. When I had originally tested the well water, I must had used a faulty testing agent as after testing it this last week, I was showing a pH of 7.5 vs. my RO of 6.2. Thus, every time I was adding nutes (multiple times a week) I was significantly fluctuating the pH between regular feedings and nutrient additions. To make matters worse, when I originally thought it was nute burn, I flushed each plant with well water and likely caused additional stress. Anyway, I have since learned that the well water needs to be treated, I only utilize RO water the last few days and plan to do so over this next week. Also, I have turned off the CO2 system as I was starting to see signs of heat stress on a couple of the strains (not this one). The literature I have reviewed suggested that these strains might be able to handle heat closer to 90F but it was also causing issues with high humidity so when I added a dehumidifier, it pushed the day temp to between 90-92F and the overnight temps were not getting low enough (maybe 85F or so). Maybe I could leave out the dehumidifier, but I was getting rH of 70% and didn’t want to risk any bud rot or mildew growth. So for now, I have turned off the CO2 and am getting high temps of 81F with 60% humidity and overnight temps of 74F and 50% humidity. The Future #1 has shown the least signs of stress and is fattening up its buds very nicely. Over the next few weeks I will start monitoring the trichomes for a nice milky color for harvesting.

4cm vertical growth this week. Flowering stretch finished now. She is ~1m wide........

All plants harvested after 56h of total dark. I love the quantity and even more the quality of buds. Now, time to let them dry. All sugar leaves are in the freezer, ready for cooking oil infusions. I did trim most of them, but some smaller buds will be dry trimmed after drying. I did not measure wet weight, I just dont find it useful at all. I will upload harvest when buds are dry and measure the dry weight. Cheers!

These ladies have become extremely tall!!! Sativa phenos as it seems

week 6 of flowering start tomorrow. im not going to give them anymore nirvana, kushie kush and alfa boost. At week 7 of flowering i'll start flushing

Venga familia, que actualizo la 8 semana de floración de estas Kritical. Ya se ven en la recta final , falta madurar un poco más, yo creo que con 10,14 días estarían ya apañadas pero decir es aproximar. Ya se realizó el lavado de raíces, y aparte llevan una semana ya solo con agua. La verdad que hasta aquí estoy contento con el resultado hasta ahora. 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 💨💨💨.

Thanks @SweetSeeds for the development of this strain. I’m absolutely in love with the color of this one, I never imagined we would see anything other than slight purple. I’m gonna be growing this strain and 9 others at the same time. 3 Dark Devils will be germinated to grow with my 6 Mephisto. I also ordered some Red Poison Auto to do in my next grow. Day 3: I don’t think they liked the ghetto dish setup I have for them at all. Ready to transplant to air pots Day 7: New Grow Room I’m pumped!

This week I did some LST on one of the magnums and left other one. The third magnum (the runt) is looking better after I trimmed the dead leaves off. It’s on 6ph flush, it is starting to show life. I think the soil was too hot and it got bad nute burn. My temp shot to 90 so I had to turn on the AC unit. It’s a daily struggle with temp humidity, but I think they are coming along nicely. Starting the Girl Scout cookies diary next week. They are looking wonderful !!!
