Into week 10, well past the estimated 6 - 8 weeks to harvest time from the online stats, looks like i have a few more weeks to go until they are ready. There has been some expected leaf drop from the lower canopy, the signs of it autumning off are appearing, but all is going well and the buds are developing nicely so far. I started a timelapse a couple of weeks ago in the tent and i've left it to run untill the end of the grow, will be interesting to see how it turns out, i'll upload that on the harvest page. 20/11 Had a slight misshap as i was inspecting the plants and bent a stem over 😱 I utilized two matchsticks and some masking tape to splint it up again, the repair is holding nicely 😬 I've documented the repair and uploaded the video for posterity. 23/11 Fed 2 plants 1/4 tsp molasses 1ltr filtered water @6pH, ec200 with just molasses, just to see if there is any positive effect. Trichomes are just starting to appear. Defoliated the lower canopy, cutting all the smaller buds not getting any light and upper fan leaves to allow more light and energy to hit the main buds.

Chopped on Day 110! After 60 hours of darkness I've chopped her down and hung her up to dry. All I can say is this was very easy to grow and she was so strong I'd definitely recommend this one. I'll update once dried in around 10 days 🤞🏻💚

Hey now! So after 8 days of drying, and 6 days of curing, I just tried the Sour Diesel in a glass water pipe, and she is freaking amazing. She burns nice and slow, with thick clouds of smoke, and tastes exactly like she should, like a sour/citrus/fuel with a very nice aftertaste. I ended up with less than 20% of wet weight, but I am so ecstatic with the quality, I could freaking care less! I have a fantasy football draft on Saturday night, and I can't wait for the rest of my league to sample her! I had so much fun with this grow, from constructing the watering/draining system, to learning more about photography and video, to meeting everyone in this community, and finally to smoking Nugs that I actually grew! Until next time, be safe everyone, and Blaze On!!!

Week 6-Day 42 ❤️🇨🇦🌱😎💨 Ladies have been coasting along, haven’t had to do much other than water every 3rd day. I’ve decreased most of N ratio, there is still some in the Cal Mag and Big Bud, and upped the P and K along with the Big Bud. PH has been bang on, I’ve been varying the PH at feeds, and testing the runoff and slurry mix, been a very healthy 6.1-6.4 on the higher end ! Things are getting thicker and hairier in the garden, and with slightly higher RH this week, I’ve been giving them a lot of air flow, seems like the frost on all of them have kicked it up a notch! They’ve got some incredible terps coming off them, I clearly need a secondary carbon filter when growing these types of potent strains, cause my whole house stinks! It seems that whenever the fan is not running, the wafts of skunk and pine are escaping 🤤 it will be another 2-3 weeks, but I’m getting excited 🤗🌲💥 Happy Growing 🇨🇦❤️👊

Hi Growmies, She continues to develop nicely. The rootball continues to expand and nested itself right above the airstone. She is very thirsty, finishing a good 10l over the course of 5 days. I have opened my last atami rockzbastic tester and added a ml per liter. Seems like the buds start stretching around the colas now, so pretty much half time +- a week.

Day 29: As my plant is entering the pre-flower stage, I’ve adjusted her nutrition accordingly. To support the stretch, I decided to only use a mix of grow and bloom nutrients. I’m using half the amount recommended in the feeding chart because, in my last grow, one of my plants showed signs of nitrogen toxicity. Day 30 and 31: The weather has been excellent, promoting rapid growth. She’s growing so quickly that I have to adjust the LST daily. The first pistils are appearing, and the tied-down side branches are shooting upwards again. I still bring her back onto the balcony overnight due to the unusually high number of snails, and I'm tired of doing nightly patrols.still feels weird to walk out of my garden with weed plants without worrying. It's fucking legal 🤟🏽 Day 32: The weather has turned into a mix of heavy rain, thunderstorms, and extreme humidity. In a previous grow, I had to remove two plants due to bud rot, so I’m being extra cautious with this one. While inspecting the undersides of the leaves, I discovered some spider mites. I removed them by hand and brought the plant inside. I then sprayed a solution of 0.5 liters of water mixed with 1.5 ml of neem oil on and under the leaves. I plan to repeat this treatment tomorrow, which should resolve the issue. Since the buds are still in early development, the neem oil should not cause any problems. Day 34: The weather was really nice today with no rain, just a little wind. I adjusted the LST once again as she's getting very bushy. I had to remove a few leaves to ensure the lower branches receive enough light. Before going to bed, I sprayed her all over with neem oil one last time. No more neem oil after that because I don't want to fuck up the taste.

Update 1/19 (day 9): * The plants are maturing a bit more so I increased the light output back up to 100% (up from 75% at the end of last week). I bought a light meter and they are getting about 48.6K LUX at the top of the plants (I checked each plant individually and they are getting the same amount of light). I have mostly been not using the side lighting during veg. * Still riding the last nutrient swap at the end of last week (with week 2 ratios) at 60% dilution and in a few days I will get them closer to 80%. * Root development is looking really good for all of them. The biggest plant is getting its second full set of leaves and the others are about 1 stage behind at the moment. * Humidity has been challenging with winter in full force. I have the humidifier blasting right outside the box but it can barely crack 50% at the moment. Update 1/21 (day 11): * The oldest plant started to branch out before I wanted it to so I trimmed off all the small branches yesterday. It didn't seem affected and has been growing strong since. * Starting to see more vigorous growth. * Exchanged the nutrient water after a quick flush with only PH'd water. Now nutrients are at about 73% strength and 740 PPM with a 230 PPM base, the highest PPM I plan to go during veg. Update 1/23 (day 13): * Discovered that water was increasing in PH to the point I couldn't control it. After some troubleshooting I determined that the CO2 bag was working, and working well. My DWC pump was in the box and pumping CO2 into the water which increased the acidity every day. I have moved the pump to the outside of the box so it is pumping fresh air into the water now. * Had to replace the water because of the CO2 incident, the water became very cloudy and didn't look right. At about the same strength level as before for nutrients, sitting currently at about 75% strength. * The Pineapple Skunk is directly next to the CO2 bag and it seems to be working because it is really starting to grow vigorous and is a darker green than the other two. Noticeable differences that correlated with when the water was becoming acidic. I need to buy a CO2 monitor but haven't felt like dropping $100 for it.

Just tucking away 🤣🤣🤣 Last weeks feeding was slightly too high for transition. I am realizing that the amount of fulvic/humid acid reduces the need for full strength ratios. This week we are going to feed 800 again, as the need for ppm’s has increased, but I am going to stay under 850 unless I see deficiency in leaves. The photosynthesis plus has been added to the mix. I know, I have recharge. However, there are certain strains in PP that recharge does not have. Specifically there is a strain for absorbing more from the lights. I have some purple stems from the light being a little to intense. We will be adding a little more cal-mag to the next feeding also. Looks like feeding will take place Tuesday/Wednesday this week. All plants are female and no Herms present for the party 😂😂 10-25 did a pre-feed of cal-mag, 8 oz. Later this evening I will do the main feeding 3 cups. The ratios are still 8-8-8 at 800 ppm’s. The extra ppm’s come in the form of extra cal-mag. Did some tucking as I am in stretch phase. So I work with a grower who is 76 years old. He has some old school techniques that make sense. He pre-waters his containers with 25% water. The remainder 75% is either nutrients OR additives that need to be added to the water. I took it a step further. I added cal-mag to the pre-water stage. Then I fed the nutrients second stage. Cal-mag is the “carrier” for nutrients throughout the plant. “Adding the nutrients after, makes it easy for the nutrients to fully saturate the soil and reach all the roots. This also prevents salt build up.” Ron’s Words. I will say my containers held double the amount of water using his method. 10-28 added some reflective material around the sides. My Growmie at RedmanFarms suggested I add it to the room. I am inside of an open air room for flowering cycle. Today was watering day. First watering was a light dose of cal/mag. Second watering was kelp, seaweed, photosynthesis plus, monk beans SST, fulvic/humic acid. One of the plants ( top left) seems to have a sulpher/magnesium deficiency ( it’s also the one with the soil I don’t like). I made some Iron/Tone tea by Espoma at 200 ppm’s and did a foliar feed. So far I see some progress on purple recessing and the growth has started to match the other 4. I have 1 more week of tucking to do and then I do a HEAVY defoliation on day 21. After than I won’t touch the plants other than feedings and water.

OK lots of excitement this week. I could stand by and watch no longer something had to be done, but what? Let's turn to the strange leaf problem first. Copper necrotic spots. WTF could this be, it's nothing to do with nutrients or pH that I'm pretty confident. Maybe it's just normal leaf dying. Whatever. I've supplied some photos where you can see a pattern of concentric rings. This tends to make it look more like some sort of mosaic virus, however if that were the case it would be everywhere. It looks like something was spilled on the plant but that did not happen. I don't deem this a problem at all but it's very very puzzling. Anyway after mulling the situation it seemed like it was about time this giant leaves were gone. So all the giagantic huge chunky leaves were removed. I figured whatever they are making there's plenty more healthy leaves to carry on the work. Plus I think it induces some shock to the plant. It will definitely shift hormones around but what effect that has I don't know. It looks like I've done a lot of work on this plant but I haven't really, just trying to see what she wants to do. So all that's happened is the first two branches that come out with the first baby leaves have been removed all other branches have developed normally. Then the four branches from the first two growing nodes have been pinned down to give the plant a bit of space. Edit: I've just pinned the lowest branches back a bit more and removed any fan leaves around the top as there seems to be plenty around.
