ill switch to flower 12/12 🤙

2020-07-05 New week. Reduced nutrients because of the slight burn on plant 2... and plant 1 drinks so quickly that it rapidly raises PPM so I have to actually find the right sweet spot. It's drinking about a gallon a day? Plant 2 is still a week behind and slightly stunted but the flowers are coming out. They are more compact than Plant 01. This is supposed to be the same species but I'm getting 2 very different phenotypes on the exact same nutrients.. not very strong genetics? Not sure. 2020-07-05 2020-07-05 2020-07-08 Forgot to take pics this week! Here you go! Plant 01 has grown so insanely strongly and is producing so many nice looking bud sites, i am blown away!! I have had to 'supercrop' the top by bending the stem very carefully and adding a wire knuckle so that it wouldn't immediately just stand back up overnight. I tried this with 2 experimental colas and they perked back up and stayed laying down. They will slightly obstruct the lower flowers but the tops all looked so promising, I couldn't bring myself to cut them. I will seriously have to cut down on veg time next grow! I can easily stop at week 5 in the future with these seeds and grow up nice buds. 2020-07-11 Updated with yesterday's photos. Changed nutrients today, stuck with 1600 EC for plant 01 and went back down to 1400 for plant 02.

Zweite Woche im Oktober, das Wetter wird immer unbeständiger, die trychome sehen gut aus - Zeit für die Ernte. Ich habe erstmal einige Fächerblätter ohne Harzbesatz entfernt und den Rest zum trocknen aufgehängt. Aufgrund von Platzmangel teils in Umzugskartons und teils im Netz. Nach einer Weile habe ich die Blüten dann vom Stengel getrennt, Manikürt und ins Glas verfrachtet. Aufgrund der Menge war ich bei der Maniküre nicht all zu penibel und habe auch einiges zur späteren Weiberverarbeitung im Eisfach gelagert.

Uma semana muito boa mas com muitos fazeres por isso foi deixar andar só no fim dos dias é que começarei os treinamentos. Algumas estão refilando bem outras estão criando poucos braços mas é deixar andar.

Holy smokes! This plant was a monster to keep alive during flower. So many different unsolved problems. Oh well. These flowers shrunk about 80% in size but sweet Mary Josephine are they dense! The smell is overpowering, the smoke is smooth, and the flavor is out there! These are definitely sativas. My first rip I washed dishes while doing calve squats. 10/10 would recommend.

Overall, this is 9th week of flower for the entire F'22 grow season. With French Macaron beginning week 7 flower and Afgooey #1 and #2 in mid-week 5 of flower. The Afgooey #3 is just starting to form tiny budlets after an extensive defoliation as she's squatty with lots of foliage. Updates & Observations - a lot of maintenance this week from continual ph'ing and flushing as Afgooey #2 has joined the French Macaron with low ph runoff readings. Given I'm growing in a living soil mix with periodic top dressings and teas every 7-10 days, I'm stumped. So, no more feedings for the French Macaron until harvest. Decided that next watering I will flush both girls with fresh rain water captured/stored which I have stored outside in 30 gallon barrels. Rain water tested at 7.2 ph, which to me is good enough for the flushing. It's raining for 3-4 days next week, so this will exhaust existing supply and replace with fresh rain water. Perfect timing. Will update next week.

Not every plant turns into a perfect showpiece — and honestly, this Critical run was a bit janky from start to finish 😅 She never really grew evenly, reacted strangely to feeding at times, and definitely kept me guessing throughout the whole cycle. But despite all the weird growth patterns and little setbacks, she still made it to harvest day covered in frost and carrying that classic heavy Critical aroma. This grow was a good reminder that not every run has to be flawless to be worth it. Sometimes the messy plants teach the most. Learned a lot about patience, recovery, and just letting the plant do its thing instead of forcing perfection. In the end, she still delivered some chunky buds, beautiful resin production, and another valuable lesson for the next round 🔥

I STARTED ON THE DIARY WAY TO EARLY. I HAD TO POP ADDITIONAL SEEDS DUE TO AN ENTIRE PACK NOT GERMINATING. AFTER THAT I EITHER BURNT OR INJURED A COUPLE SEEDS REMOVING A FEW HELMET HEADS. IM FEELING BETTER ABOUT THIS SEASON NOW THOUGH THAT THINGS ARE FINALLY IN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. IM CONSIDERING POPPING A COUPLE MORE 10TH PLANET JUST IN CASE. WE'LL SEE. 4/20 Happy 420 and Easter to everybody! Checked the girls this morning and at noontime. It was a good idea to switch lights. I'm seeing positive growth under both the duel 1500 lumen cfl's and the 1000 watt l.e.d. with an actual draw of 105 watts. The single 150 hps couldn't go low enough without raising the temp. I may add it layer after transplant in edition to the l.e.d. the plant I had to put a straw on has perked itself up and now has 3 fingered leaves. I'll have to bury up the stem a little on a few after they fill these solo cups. I WATERED everything that was under 20 grams dry weight which was most everything. I'm seeing a dramatic difference thus far. I'm wondering if I should start a couple more 10th planet in case one doesn't make it. The kush seedlings have finally showed a little more advanced growth then the seeds popped later which makes me feel good. It will be interesting to see how these turn out. They are going to be extremely resilient high yielding potent plants that will make it to harvest early. Words have power. 4/21 The lighting switch is working out good. When the plants fill out the solos I'll put the hps back up and use both until they go to their final spits outdoors. I watered everything under the led light which is all pink/special kush. I watered a couple in the aerogarden if the were under 20 grams of dry soil weight. I may have to up the amount of water but I'll be keeping an wye out. Still wanting to pop a couple more 10th planet. I've seen the first 3 fingered leaf. Can't wait for this season. WENT BACK OVER AT 6PM AND EVERYTHING IS LOOKING GOOD. I HAVE THAT ONE PINK KUSH THAT STRETCHED AND I HAD TO PUT A STRAW ON IT IS PICK8NG UP WELL. IM JUST GOING TO HAVE TO BURU IT DEEPER WHEN I GO TO GALLON POTS. IT WAS NICE TODAY AND I GOT A LOT IF SELF CARE DOWN AND HAD SOME OTHER TROUBLES BUT SEEING MY GIRLS GROW UP MAKES ME HAPPY. IM GOING TO USE THE PAR METER AGAIN TOMORROW AND BEGIN CLEANING AND SANITIZING MY GROW AREA. I HAVE A LOT TO DO. 4/22 WATERED EVERYTHING AS IT WAS WITHIN 20 GRAMS DRY WEIGHT. Plants are improving. I'm FINALLY reaching REAL veg with a couple seedlings that have grown their first 3 finger leaves. I'm looking forward to the transplant to 1 gallon. They seem to explode after that. That and the few that stretched can be buried. Now it's time to hurry up and wait. The thing is, now that some have stretched they are growing leaves which makes it top heavy on a ciuplecdue to the elongated stem. Still looks good though. I also rotated the plants to minimize hot spots. 4/23 Things are doing well. I watered everything but two in the back of the aergarden that were still over 20-grams over dry weight and i added soil to the 10th planet cups. Not because they were stretching but just so I can weigh it with the others so I can water properly. I'll check on them later. The oldest seedlings have their first three fingered leaves. I've been shopping around for soil. I think I'll round up all my 1 gal pots and wash them as these will need a transplant in a while. I should check the ppfd again. I also need to ready my outdoor area and sanitize it. Plenty of stuff to do. May still end up popping a couple more 10th planet. Not sure. EDIT: WENT OVER THIS AFTERNOON AND LOCATED ALL MY ONE GALLON POTS (AND A COUPLE OF THOSE SLANTED ONES THAT ARE A LITTLE MORE THAN A GALLON). FPUND THE 3'S TOO BUT IM GOING INTO ONES THEN HOME BABY HOME. AT LEAST THATS THE PLAN. I EMPTIED LAST YEARS GROW BAGS AND BURNED THE LAST OF TEO CANNABIS STALKS. I STILL NEED TO DEEP CLEAN THE CAGE. I JEED TO SPRAY THE PALLETS WITH THAT PESTICIDE THAT KILLS EARWIGS (THE ONES I CANT REPLACE). I ALSO NEED TO GET ALL THE LOOSE SOIL THATS FALKEN OVER THE YEARS AND THE LEAVES OUT OF THE CAGE. LEAF BLOWER AND A RAKE WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT. I HAVE A BRUSH BURNER AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT USING IT BUT THEN REALITY SUNK IN. AT LEAST I GOT SOME WORK DONE. WASHED UP NIDE AND PUT ON HAND SANITIZER TO CHECK ON THE GIRLS. THEY LOOK GREAT TO ME. I QUICKLY SHOT TWO PICS AND BEAT FEET. I SHOULDVE NOT GONE IN AT ALL BUT THAT WAS THE POINT OF ME GOING THERE. TO CHECK IN THE GIRLS. IM SURE THEY'LL BE FINE. 4/24 Had to go back and water. I watered the two in the ag that weren't watered before. Most of the cups under the l.e.d were right on the cusp (220, 218 ect.) I watered a couple and left the others that weighed a tad more and misted the top with a spray bottle so it won't totally dry out. I'll check later but they are growing at a rapid pace now. I'll probably end up watering. I'll probably have to up the volume. I think I'm going to go get a bag of ffof to put in the house and warm up. That way I cam transplant whenever I want. I'll check around for prices. EDIT: Went to the local grow store and bought 3cf of Fox Farm Ocean Forest which will be mixed with the 2cu bag of Happy Frog I already have when I transplant into the 1 gallons pots. I got prices for all the soil so now I just need to figure out how many bags of each I need. I want to get it early so it's still there. I'll be doing my math. Went back over and and as predicted the three cups under the led were "almost" within ten grams of dry weight. They probably could've waited (212, 211, 208) but they are close to breaking the ten grams over dry limit that seems to be doing good for me. I showed my commercial buddy cause he hasn't seem them a while and I could tell he was impressed. I'll take pictures tomorrow. I cleaned the cage a little bit more. My buddy thinks going into 1 gals is the better option than going into 3's. If I have to then it would just be the bigger plants and I have a few gallon and a half ones I'll use for the bigger plants. Still debating whether to pop more seeds and pheno hunt or just go with what I've got. What I've got is looking good. I just don't want to lose any. Might be smart to start a couple extra. 4/25 WATERED EVERYTHING I think. I might think about increasing water volume of water I give at a time. I'll probably stick with whats working since I use the scale anyway. The kush under the l.e.d dries out faster than the cfl. They both are working good and I'm getting some good node development. The earlier plants are actually looking like a pot plant. I may start next week with a weak nutrient solution like ancient amber or the first fox farm one. Worked on some more of the cage. I'm ready to go! 4/26 WATERED EVERYTHING BUT THE BACK ROW OF THE AEROGARDEN WHICH WERE STILL IN RANGE. Plants are getting big. Transplant with the kush might be next week. 10th planet is doing incredible for being so young. Mk Ultra doing good as well. I thought about popping a few more and then pheno hunting but I'll probably stick with what I've got. I'm loving what I'm seeing.

Just got a new 600w mh/hps light for now it’s in my current setup with my 250 n it’s dimmed to 50%, only reason I mention is b/c the plants seem to be loving it!! They’re 12 days old from seed, still just ph’d water for them! So far so good :P

Day 8 Flower (Day 50) The first day of the second week of flower and the strech is real. The right girl is getting pretty damn big and keeps on drinking a lot. I gave her another 3 liters of pH 6.4 water today. On the other hand, the left girl drinks hardly anything, so I didn't need to water her. I also did some lollipopping today and got rid of a whole bunch of undergrowth. I saved some clones off the big girl but no clue what to do with them. We'll see what happens. Day 9 Flower (Day 51) Chill day today. All I did was to give each girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water and snap a few pics. Day 10 Flower (Day 52) Today I finally got around to re-organize the small tent to move the light as high up as possible to give the canopy some additional space. I moved the exhaust fan to outside the tent, so it was out of the way for the light, and then put the circulation fan below the canopy, blowing upward. Finally, I adjusted the light so it was reading about 900 PPFD in the center of the canopy. The left girl didn't need any water today, but the right girl got 3 liters of pH 6.2 water. Day 11 Flower (Day 53) They're back! The fungus gnats are back in the tent, although I'm not surprised, and let me tell you why. When the light for my tomatoes and peppers broke down, I had to move them so that they get some daylight. It is still cold here (the coldest May around these parts ever, I think), so they have to stay inside even though they usually would have moved outside long ago. The best place to keep them in my apartment is by the window in the same room as my grow tents. The last time I had gnats, I only had enough nematodes to treat my girls, but I didn't do the rest of the apartment even though I should have. So currently, my peppers and tomatoes all have a ton of gnats. Put plants with gnats in the same room as your grow, and it is only a matter of time before the gnats find their way into the tents. So yeah, it wasn't a surprise at all when I noticed the gnats in my tents some days ago. I put up some yellow sticky traps to deal with the adults and ordered more nematodes, enough to treat my girls, plus all other plants in my entire apartment. Twice. The nematodes arrived today, and I mixed up 10 million of them into 6 liters of water and gave each girl half at pH 6.5. That was it for today. Day 12 Flower (Day 54) Exhausting day today. I opened the tents, took pics, closed the tents. Phew! I think I need to lay down for a bit. Day 13 Flower (Day 55) Late last night I decided to supercrop the right girl to slow her down and get the canopy to even out. We're almost at the end of the second week of flower so this is the last training I will do besides some defoliation later on. I think I cropped around 10 branches or so. Today, most of the branches were already standing up again and she was VERY thirsty so I gave her 4.5 liters of pH 6.4 water. The left girl on the other hand didn't need any water. Day 14 Flower (Day 56) The last day of the second week of flower and the right girl is in flower. Early yet so still small and no smell, but they are there. The left girl is in flower as well but isn't as far along, but that isn't unexpected considering the different lights. The left girl is 68 cm tall (18 cm increase in a week), and the right girl is 100 cm tall (23 cm increase in a week) but would have been even taller without super-cropping. I gave each girl three liters of pH 6.3 water and removed the tape from the right girl's broken branch. She looks fully healed, so I removed the supports as well, and she was looking great. However, thinking about it for a second, I put back one of the supports, just in case.

Well I have to say even though I had a few temperature issues in the night that I think may have stressed them. They took a lot longer than expected but after drying I don’t know how but I ended up with some fantastic tasty buds a few of the plants even came out purple!! I have to say the purple buds are my favourite 🤩 fastbuds never disappoints!!!!!

Vibe: 😍

Weekly Update on the Runtz 🌱 Hey everyone! Just wanted to share how the Runtz is coming along. She's thriving under the care of the Plagron nutrients 🌿, reacting beautifully to every feed. Since my last update, she’s sprouted several new nodes and is showing incredible growth! https://plagron.com/en/tools/grow-schedule-calculator She’s definitely growing like a sativa 🌳, with those long, stretchy branches. To manage that, I’m planning to enforce some solid training techniques to keep her short and wide, just the way I like it 💪✨. I’m loving the whole experience so far, it’s been such a rewarding journey 💚. I’ve attached plenty of pictures for you all to check out 📸. Please drop a like, leave a comment, and share any feedback or tips you’ve got! 🌟🙌

Hunt for Phenotypes

These ladies had to be transplanted last week and some defoliation was done aswell.

The week ends Mar-31, being day 91 - week 12 of flowering since flipping the lights / day 75 since from first pistils shown. This strain is expected to flower 60-70 days. Harvested the plant in 2 stages over a 10 day period. Lower buds got exposed to more light and definitely seem to have ripened further since the tops were harvested. Fertigation was resumed using GHE Ripen for first 5 days followed by a flush and water only (no pH adjustments) for the last 5 days. The remainder of the plant was trimmed, manicured and separated into A, B grades and trim/larf buds. The buds and sugar leaves are completely covered in resin glands - glistening away in every angle. This last harvest was done after an extended period of darkness (24hrs). Trichomes across the board looked good and ready with 70% cloudy, 10% amber and 20% clear. The water consumption definitely was slowing down in the last week. The drying buds have a very strong strawberry smell after being hung, whilst during the harvest and trimming there was no noticeable scent of weed. Really great stealth type of plant for harvesting :) Using the tent now as a drying area maintaining a higher humidity of 50-60% between 17-19*C, hopefully to extend the drying period whilst hung. Buds are placed in jars once dry to touch then managed until in the curing zone. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The grow setup includes; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom. Passive & active intake of air is from a closed off section of the room where the central heating boiler sits - the intake is warm air (20 degC.) and fairly dry (40% RH) during the winter months. - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 - ventilation fans - aquarium heater - small oil heater - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots and 3.5L general pots for seedling stage - Canna Coco substrate and nutrients - GHE Flora trio nutrients - pH and EC/TDS meters - 2x Govee Thermo/Hygro meters (one at canopy the other at the roots level)

Amazing old school strain. Cakes to the stem and oily to the touch. All buds are rock hard and freakin hand size. Taste is of harsh lemon while some are more haze. Both pheno tastes are great imo. This turned out great and would grow again in the future. If only trimming were easier with this one.

First day of third week, its been 15 days since they got fresh air for the first time! Its been quite amazing to see them grow pretty fast, since this is all new for me im pretty amazed! Plant two, being the one in the middle, has much larger leafs than the others, but i guess thats because its directly under the LED, i wanna start LSD training but tbh i have no idea what to do with so smal space * and i have zero practice with this! Plant two is also showing some yellowing signs on the tip of new leafs which i have to figure out why! asking some help in forums aswell now and see what i can change, i havent introduce them to bloom nutrients yet and that also might be it, will see what to do very soon! Might need to also increase biogrow levels on that one, since shes taking more light than the other two and growing faster, was wondering if switching places between them would help for now im watering them daily each with 0.5L per day, with a 1ml/l of BioGrow, no idea if i should increase it or not, but ill learn

Blütetag 52 | Tag 112 gesamt Klima – Frühling im Anmarsch Draußen zeigt sich der Frühling deutlicher. Mehr Licht, mildere Tage, mehr Bewegung in der Luft. Im Zelt ist dieser Umschwung spürbar. Die Pflanzen trinken mehr, der Dryback läuft zügiger durch, das Substrat trocknet gleichmäßiger ab. Der Rhythmus wirkt insgesamt ausgeglichener als noch vor einigen Wochen. Die Kurven verlaufen ruhiger, die VPD liegt häufiger im gewünschten Bereich. Wir sind klar in der Endphase. Der Stoffwechsel arbeitet aktiv, kleine Schwankungen zeigen sich sofort – insgesamt aber ein ruhiger und stimmiger Verlauf. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus White Gushers 33 Sie reagiert feiner auf Veränderungen, bleibt aber insgesamt stabil. Die Blattverfärbungen nehmen weiter zu – deutliche Herbststimmung. Energie wird sichtbar aus dem Blattwerk gezogen und konsequent in die Blüten verlagert. Das Stacking läuft weiter. Die Buds gewinnen an Volumen, wirken kompakter und schwerer. Die Oberfläche erscheint dichter, geschlossener, reifer. Trichomstatus: Überwiegend milchige Köpfe, nur noch vereinzelte klare. Kaum Amber. Sie bewegt sich klar in Richtung Erntefenster. Triangle Sherbet Kush Auch sie zeigt nun deutlichere Herbsttöne im Blattbild. Optisch etwas gelassener, aber klar in der Endphase angekommen. Die Blütenstruktur wirkt sehr kompakt und sauber aufgebaut, extrem frostig. Minimal hinter der White im Reifegrad – jedoch im gleichen Zielkorridor. Trichomstatus: Milchig dominiert auch hier, mit leicht höherem Anteil klarer Köpfe als bei der WG 33. Eindeutig in der späten Reifephase. 🌸 Blüten & Duftbild Die Buds gewinnen weiter an Struktur und Geschlossenheit. Die Verdichtung ist sichtbar, die Form wirkt ausgereifter als noch vor einer Woche. Aromatisch entwickelt sich das Profil weiter. Die Frucht bleibt präsent, wird jedoch zunehmend von einer würzigeren Tiefe begleitet. Die Komplexität nimmt zu, ebenso die Intensität. Das Zusammenspiel der Noten wirkt runder, dichter und vielschichtiger. Beim Öffnen des Zeltes steht der Duft klar im Raum – nicht lauter, sondern konzentrierter. 💧 Nährstoffe Unverändert gefahren: CalMag: 1,5 ml/L Bloom: 1 ml/L Keine Anpassungen. Keine Experimente. Konstanz bis zum Schluss. 🐞 IPM / Biologischer Pflanzenschutz Keine neuen Maßnahmen. Das bestehende System läuft weiter ohne zusätzliche Eingriffe. Schimmel ist bislang kein Thema. Aufmerksamkeit bleibt – Überreaktion nicht nötig. 🔎 Ausblick Wir sind auf der Zielgeraden. Noch wenige Tage – realistisch im Bereich von 7–10 Tagen, abhängig von der weiteren Trichomentwicklung. Jetzt heißt es: Klima stabil halten. Nicht unnötig eingreifen. Den Lauf sauber ins Finale führen. 🔎 Wochenfazit Die Zeichen stehen klar auf Reife. Herbstfarben im Blatt, milchige Trichome, fortschreitende Verdichtung. Wir sind auf der Zielgeraden – aber noch nicht an der Ziellinie. Noch ein paar Tage Geduld. Dann fällt der Vorhang. — Rocko 🌿🔥💚 Flower Day 52 | Day 112 Overall Climate – Spring Moving In Outside, spring is becoming more noticeable. More light, milder days, more movement in the air. That shift is clearly reflected inside the tent. The plants are drinking more, the dryback cycle moves faster, and the substrate dries more evenly. Overall, the rhythm feels more balanced compared to a few weeks ago. The curves look calmer, VPD stays in the target range more consistently. We’re clearly in the final phase now. Metabolism is active, and even small fluctuations show up in the leaf expression — but overall the run feels steady and composed. 🌿 Plant Status White Gushers 33 She reacts a bit more sensitively to changes, yet remains stable overall. Leaf fade is progressing — clear autumn tones setting in. Energy is visibly being redirected from the foliage into the flowers. Stacking continues. The buds are gaining volume, becoming denser and heavier. The surface looks tighter, more mature, more consolidated. Trichome status: Mostly cloudy heads with only a few remaining clear ones. Hardly any amber. She is clearly approaching the harvest window. Triangle Sherbet Kush She is now showing stronger autumn coloration as well. Slightly calmer in overall appearance, but unmistakably in late flower. The bud structure is very compact and clean, extremely frosty. Slightly behind the White in maturity — yet within the same finishing corridor. Trichome status: Cloudy dominant here as well, with a slightly higher percentage of clear heads compared to WG33. Clearly in the late ripening phase. 🌸 Flowers & Aroma Profile The buds continue gaining structure and density. Their formation appears tighter and more developed than a week ago. Aromatically, the profile keeps evolving. The fruity notes remain present, but are increasingly supported by a deeper, warmer spice layer. Complexity is increasing, and so is intensity. The overall expression feels more layered, more concentrated, more mature. When opening the tent, the aroma doesn’t feel louder — it feels fuller. 💧 Nutrients Unchanged: CalMag: 1.5 ml/L Bloom: 1 ml/L No adjustments. No experiments. Consistency through the finish. 🐞 IPM / Biological Pest Management No new measures. The existing system continues running without additional intervention. No mold issues so far. Awareness remains — overreaction does not. 🔎 Outlook We are on the home stretch. Likely within 7–10 days, depending on how trichome development continues. Now it’s about: Keeping the climate steady. Avoiding unnecessary interference. Guiding the run cleanly into the finale. 🔎 Weekly Conclusion The signs are clear: ripening is advancing. Autumn tones in the leaves, cloudy trichomes, increasing density. We are on the home stretch — but not at the finish line yet. A few more days of patience. Then the curtain falls. — Rocko 🌿🔥💚
