The stretch phase is officially over, and now the plant is shifting its energy toward trichome production!🌱 I’ve started noticing a light scent developing, though it’s still not very intense yet. I expect that to change in the coming weeks. I did a light defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration, and I plan to do another round in about two weeks. Interestingly, the fan leaves are starting to take on a slight reddish hue—curious to see how that develops! 💪😊 So far, everything is looking great, and I’m excited to watch the buds bulk up in the next phase!

This week will be the last of the 18 hours of light. When the little ones have settled in on the increased light intensity. If the cycle is changed to 12/12 and then the wattage of the lamp is turned to its maximum of 300 watts. Gradually, of course. More on that later. I hope they will show their gender during the week that the bloom can be initiated. Day 67: It is time for the first flowering phase. Plant 1 shows the first characteristics of the flower or rather it becomes sexually mature. If the others follow suit this week, it is the last week of growth. Instead of cutting out the big leaves, I spread them out under the net. In this way, the light also reaches the lower shoots without stressing the plants during sexual maturity. We don't want to provoke misfortune. Day 70: 10 weeks of Vegetation. I think it's time for Bloom.

7 Blütewoche: So liebe Grow Gemeinde wir sind jetzt in der 7 Blütewoche angelangt. Leider musste ich bei 2 von 4 Pflanzen einen Mangan oder Magnesium Magel feststellen, 2 kann ich eigentlich schon fast ausschließen da ich mir Informationen eingeholt habe und diese dafür sprechen dass es ein Mangan Mangel ist der nicht oft bei Cannabis Pflanzen vorkommt. Leider ist mein Ph Messgerät kaputt, und somit kann ich denn ph wert leider nicht ermitteln. Somit weiß ich nicht ob eine Nährstoff Sperre vorliegt die dafür verantwortlich ist das meine beiden Ladys kurz vor dem Ziel sowas erleiden müssen. Ansonsten geht’s denn anderen beiden Pflänzchen gut sie wachsen prächtig und Mann kann sehen wie die Buds an Volumen zunehmen. Ich hoffe das ich innerhalb 1 Woche das Problem in den Griff bekomme damit die anderen beiden auch noch an Volumen zunehmen können da Mangan für das Wachstum verantwortlich ist. Danke für euer Interesse und das ihr bis hier hin gelesen habt, ich werde mich wieder melden wenn sich was ändern sollte. P.S Ich habe kurz mit dem Gedanken gespielt die beiden Ladys mit den Mangelerscheinungen früher zu fällen aber von diesen Gedanken bin ich wieder ab. Ich habe noch 14 Steckis von allen 4 Ladys die warten in die Blüte geschickt zu werden. Ich wünsche allen fette Buds und gutes Wachstum.

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

I originally had applied to Green House Seed Co.'s Taste of the USA Contest here on Grow Diaries. Turns out I was ineligible but the good folks at GHS still had the big hearts to send me seeds anyway. So big ups to them for hooking this grower up. Welcome to the Sea of Fire 🔥 For this grow were using the Dark Phoenix seeds that GHS sent to me to create a Sea of Green. I've got 8 plants in 8 1L pots. I've decided to use Black Swallow's living soil for this grow so we won't need to add anything but water for the first 3 weeks or so. Our goal for this grow is to have these girls ready for harvest in about 20 weeks which will bring us to the beginning of November 2021. If all goes according to plan these firey buds should be filling my friends stockings this Christmas.

She was left to dry for 13 days. I smoked some of her buds while drying. Offical weight could of been higher if I had the patience. She have a unique smell, very fruity and musky. I will have to wait for the cure to give more fair analysis. I smoke her in the evening when I am winding down after work and preparing for sleep. I had to weigh her in two parts. One part I took my time to trim the other I just gave a rough trim and placed in jars. I took about 3hrs to trim.

Hello. This is the end of week 1 and the beginning of week 2 of flowering. Man have these plant shot up. It's at this point that I could put in a net but I haven't figured out how to tie it in and still open the tent form the inside too. I'll just tie up the branches to the top roof poles when the branches start to fall over like last year. I already have the clips and twine I used last year. I gave the plants their first mixed flowering plant food last week, which is why they shot up so much. I'll let the plants just grow this week and then do my final trimming/pruning next week. Although these plant will be finished around 9 weeks of flowering I like to grow them 10 weeks. When I first started growing inside I wanted stuff that finished fast. 45 to 55 days is what I grew back then. But then I thought about growing 9 weeks and a whole group of plant that I wasn't growing opened up to me. Now I like to grow all the plants to 10 weeks. And now that I have more space I'm think about growing sativa's up to 14 weeks and collecting some pollen for crosses. I like Ace Seeds for sativa's. On to book 4 of the Fat Freddie's Cat series. One of my favorite artist of that era. Thanks for lookin in. Chuck.

The smell of this baby is crazy and really fruity. The buds are really getting sticky.. It's a pleasure to grow this strain and really getting hard not to harvest, but I still do not see amber trichomes yet and I hope buds will grow bigger the next couple weeks.. But looks so awesome now. #fastbuds is awesome...

The Pieneapple Express is growing really well, we really like its foliar and painta structure and we decided to make just 1 topping and thus leave two Main Cola together with the side branches naturally of the lower internode.

The seeds have germinated after around 59 hours to be exact very strongly I started to germinate the seeds on January 12th however it was 00:00 Am so it's almost like saying January 13th, the 2 out of 2 seeds have germinated very well without any problem! Quick germination, let's go for it! Stay tuned, this is a strain I love for her absolutely amazing terp profile!! Don't miss it👨‍🌾💚🔝♥️💛

Fine della 8 settimana le piante mi i sembra che stiano abbastanza bene alcune mostrano qualche carenza di nutrimenti,ma nel complesso nulla di grave continuerò a fertilizzare massimo due volte a settimana il restante darò solo acqua. Tra un paio di settimane scarse pensavo di cominciare a mettere le piante a 12/12 magari nell'ultima settimana inizio a scalare le ore piano piano fino ad arrivare a 12 senza troppi stress...Buona giornata a tutti e buona medicazione.💚🌱💜🏴‍☠️🆓🇵🇸🇵🇸🆓🏴‍☠️🔥

Wow. I honestly cant believe how well she turned out for me. Filled out super nicely. Nice big fat frosty nugs. I cant wait until the final cure is done. And I get a final weight off her.

I should have had a lot better harvest but because I was away for 12 days the pH and ppm's got messed up. As well as 1 day of the air pump being off after I got back resulted in the start of root rot. Will grow this strain again for sure!

The plant seems to be a growing very fast and very strong is like it is on steroids and have become very stinky in a good way. It looks like she has start to produce the first buds or at least the beginning of them looking forward to see how she will start to develop . Day 44 I found myself adjusting the light up every day once they wake up because this plant is truly very strong vigorous and with a very large flowering stretch and with very thick branches so if you are growing this girl in a indoor setting be aware who the roommates are Genetically speaking . And make sure they actually will stretch as much as her so you don't have problems with light distribution in your tent. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Echt een dikke koningin. De Power Buds van Plagron doet echt wat het beloofd, superveel bloemknoppen! Ik heb wel schutbladen weggeknipt die veel licht blokkeerden voor de lager buds. Laten we kijken hoe ze zich deze week ontwikkeld. Ik zal gedurende de week nog verse foto's updaten dus hou het in de gaten 🧐

The strain has proven to be extremely sturdy compared to the autoflower version. The smell has been a bit problematic. Some terpenes just can't seem to be tamed even with a brand new carbon air filter. I hope this pays off in terms of aroma quality :)

Fourthish week of flower and they have begun to pray 🙏🏼 well, most of them anyways. The largest still is suffering from an untreated overwatering and over nuteing condition but the others are looking nice! The ones on the roof were in full prayer and loved the hot afternoon direct sun. At this point, giving the flowers a squeeze rewarded you with sticky fingertips and a smell of stinky gouda cheese or similar. Crystals were starting to form on the sugar leaves which was exciting to watch for the first time. I was thoroughly impressed with the prayer formation that these plants assumed when conditions were prime. Very cool! You could see how the plant was able to maximize leaf surface area exposure while blocking the least amount of light from the leaves below. The light was being run on 100% and temps would be between 83 and 85 degrees. I was OK running it a bit hotter as it's an LED light. I like the light a lot - especially it's precision. Each 25% dim increment correlated to 2 degrees temp change. Nice!
