Got my first round of Lst done BE CAREFUL! I accidentally topped one of my plants. These girls grow stiff and resist the training.

Right so basically, a week ago today marked a month for these ladies and because I had a broken phone it was very hard to keep up to date with the journal but hopefully now I can keep on top of this grow for you guys. It's been 35 days since germination for the Rhino Ryder and Afghan Kush. I'm using soil from the back garden and now that there is a bit of foliage, with the watering etc. The humidity has risen to a level I'm not happy with to which I'm going to invest in a portable dehumidifier to bring down the moisture in the air. I had to defoliate as it was getting really bushy and the fan was struggling to get air through the fan leaves. I cannot believe the RR, started off as the most finicky plant from germination and now it's the tallest f***er of the 4. She has shot up! I looked at the yellow tips on the leaves and apparently it's a lack of Iron. I read that Iron deficiency can be left to work itself out typically if it's not severe. Usually after a few days after the leaves are left to expand the yellow disappears and they turn a nice fresh green colour. The smell in here is fantastic! Until next time! ;) Happy growing and much love from the Shire!

This week, I noticed an excess of nutrients, and one of the plants has its leaves curling up. So, I decided to stop adding nutrients, hoping this will help and don't stress the other two. But she's strong and has just a few more days left before harvest i think.

Week 8 Looking absolutely huge😂 They’re so tall and wide . Lots of healthy green leaves and strong roots. I was worrying a lot about sex issues as when I did my research I found out they’re quite common to hermaphrodite. Was really worrying but all calyx’s have female signs (so far🙏🏻) so pray for me brothers&sisters.

Just feed water ph to 6.00 area.

This one is entering flower beautifully. Just reeks of lemons. and oh boy just like a sativa it likes to stretch. But i also think that stretch has to do with malted barley and aloe vera juice. cant wait to start the pot patch this year.

Fattening and stacking! That’s what’s up this week. Ladies are doing well, still fine tuning the new Cronk Nutrients. Some slight phosphorus deficiencies showed this week. To be expected with this type of flower growth so fast. Learning lots with this run, overall I’m very impressed with the Cronk Bonnie and Clyde Autoflower mix, still need to fine tune though. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Она прекрасно растет и очень меня радует!))) мощный ствол, листья, боковые ветки практически догоняют центральную. Она буквально пожирает конкурентов в палатке занимая все место своими листьями и ветвями! Хорошо что скоро автоцветущие освободят палатку и все место, свет и внимание останется только для нее! Тогда и переведу на цветение. (Начиная с этой недели буду выкладывать фото и видео роста в реальном времени.)

Week 6 starts exactly where we left, with 55.5 and 79 cm height for smallest/tallest plant. Humidity is currently fixed rollercoastering around 50/55%, but that’s mostly due to current weather and a bit due to the fact that I remembered I own an indoor fan with a simple cooling option – a fabric being drawn through a water tank before fan blows through it –, and placed to blow agains the tent air inlet it’s cooling the air slightly while adding some percents of humidity. Perfect for the moment. Girls are currently not that hungry. Their soil is still moist enough to make it through today. Think I’ll start tomorrow with the first full round of blooming fertilisers. On morning of day 43, soil had become pretty dry – I did not have time to water them last evening. I removed their lowest, now quite yellow/brown fan leaves and gave each one about 0,5 l of only RO water with some CalMag. Don’t want to risk any over-fertilising. Soil was so dry water first filled their plates but was sucked into the soil immediately after. Leave removing gave me a good impression about terpene production really kicking in. I don’t smell much when I open the tent (again quite dry surrounding air), but moving them a bit released extremely fruity, sweet odour. Yummy! On day 44, that very distinctive smell has increased. Bud growth is growth too, so tallest plant’s height is now as good as 80 cm. Sherbets‘ buds are indeed getting a slight bright purple touch, but still not clear enough to be visible in a highly processed image. (Don’t ask me why the colors look that different every day. I am using exactly the same lighting conditions and image adjustments.) Talking about colors: More old fan leaves, still the lowest ones, still those that I would cut anyway to give the branches more light, are starting to fade. Shall we call this a mostly uninfluenced grow with natural lollipopping? Day 45: Will have to give them some water today. They are still not really that thirsty, with about half a litre per plant every 2.5th day or so. Speed of action has clearly slowed down currently. Instead of half a litre, I gave each one a full. Comparing the week’s photos so far, I think that bud growth is quite ok. Although I miss the time they were stretching quite a bit. Can it be Hesi Bloom Boost (and the rest) really boosted them overnight? When trying to get a focus with the microscope lens attached to the mobile, I incidentally touched a bud and was struck at how sticky it feels already. Slight signs of over-fertilisation on the tips of tallest plants on day 47. Next drink will be without, and I’ll reduce dosage by about 25% further on. Day 48, and end of week 6. Somehow autumn has broken out (but don’t worry too much; image processing produced some differences too): I was presented with a lot of yellow fan leaves today. I have problems keeping the humidity high enough, weather is warm and dry and every manual misting will only hold for an hour at most, while its often bringing the humidity over the best range for a short time. Or is that normal behaviour? The buds already look pretty mature, with quite some hairs drying. But this is only end of week 6, and I think I should get at leat two more weeks, or shouldn’t I? Leaves around the buds are all in very good shape, except for that few brown edges that have not grown.

Got 1 with a little weird leaf structure, might be because of the seedshell, but they growing 🌱 Rock on Growmies

E arrivata alla fine. È ora di taglia

Day 24-31 (Day 25) The smell in here is absolutely ridiculous. My last grow didn’t smell even close to this bad in early flower. (Day 27) Stretch is finally all done. #6 in the back is very stout and barely stretched compared to everything else. I doubt it will yield much but I’m excited to see the nice tight colas on it. It seems to be still getting adequate light and raising it up is hard to do with a scrog net so I will just leave it. If it wasn’t getting enough light it would be stretching right? The early frost is really shocking to me. My last indoor round definitely wasn’t this caked and I’ve never had an outdoor plant on this level either. That’s also true in terms of smell too. (Day 29) I’m still debating whether I should feed anything in flower or just leave it. The only deficiency I’m seeing is purple stems from P def which could actually just be from light intensity rather than a lack of P. I’ve done some thinking and I’ve decided to only feed my small plant. What I’m most curious about is if a PK boost will actually make any kind of a difference in flower when it comes to bud size and smokability. So to test this theory I will be top dressing a teaspoon of 0-18-0 bat guano, a tablespoon of 1-4-2 Destiny launch and a half strength watering of 0-0-15 kelp extract. I’m trying to avoid N all together as I just toxed my guinea pig plants with another experimental flowering PK boost that had a very small amount of N in it. This plant in particular actually has very early signs of N def and probably will fade harder than the rest. (Day 31) Shit. Looks like #1 is starting to herm. It’s definitely not environment or light leaks so maybe it’s just genetic or the recent leaching stressed it out too much. Either way, it’s only a single lower branch and I’m prepared to cut her down if I start seeing anymore. I double checked every other budsite but couldn’t find anymore. In my experience true herms usually start pushing bananas out of the main tops and plants like mine can usually be salvaged with little to no seeded bud. But then again it’s day 31, when these things usually start to happen. I’m 50/50 on this one. I will be watching it everyday like a hawk if anymore show up. The breeder I’m using, ‘Jordan of the Island’s’ is notorious for having unstable genetics and this will be the last time I run any of his stuff. The quality is good, certainly better than most European and Dutch genetics I’ve run but I know I could do better where genetics are concerned. I can’t wait to start hunting my archive dosidos x gelato 41 and in house sugarcane.

Last couple of days before harvest. Plants were flushed last 2 weeks and showing a lot of yellowing, as planned. 48h of dark will be next thing to do now. Hulkberry looks like a sticky beast and orange sherbert smells and looks awesome too.

01/08/18 - I fed them all 1 litre each, one of them seems to be praying up but the other two Seem a little bit droopy still. 02/08/18 - #3 is praying like usual and the other two are getting better Day by day I’m going to be giving them another feeding tomorrow, I have seen roots stretching out to the sides of the pots so I might saturate the whole pot. 04/08/18 - horrible sight today looks like rusty cracks in some leaves , not got a clue what this. 05/08/18 - browning has continued since last night and it’s all on the new leafs not the older ones. i fed them without any calmag , so I think it could be a deficiency of some sort (cal/mag).the mad thing is, it’s only two of the girls, one of them is completely fine nice green leaves not yellow marks that turn orange/brown. It definitely has nothing to do with my ph or all three girls would be showing some symptoms seeing as they all get fed with the same soloution.✌️🏻 07/08/18 - everything’s cleared up their was slight nute burn in the process but everything seems a lot better so I decided to start LST. all the new leaves are the colour they should be with no nute burns or calcium deficiency 🙏🏻

Day 78 - Starting week 12 and she’s still chugging along and filling in and fattening up nicely. She’ll need some water and nutes in the next day or so. Day 79 - Still moving along nicely. Did a little defoliating today and will do a heavier one in another week or so. She probably is down to a couple weeks left, some of the pistils are starting to shrivel a bit but overall, still alive and well. Still have a couple days before she’s ready for some water. Day 80 - She’s looking good and fat and hell. She’s starting to get pretty damn heavy so looking at a pretty decent harvest. She wasn’t quite ready for water but should be ready tomorrow. Day 81 - Nothing new to speak of today, she was getting dry but not quite ready for some water but will definitely be giving her a feeding tomorrow. Pistils are slowly starting to shrivel up and turn reddish brown so starting to count the days down to chop. I’m thinking about 2 more weeks or so. Day 82 - The girl was majorly droopy today and was definitely ready for some water. I gave her a gallon of water with her last feeding of bloom nutes. I’ll flush her with some sledgehammer when she’s dried up again and just give her water until it’s time to harvest. Day 84 - She’s getting close to getting the chop. Leaves are starting to fade and pistils are starting to shrivel up. Still has quite a bit of white pistils but she’s on the downside, 2 weeks top left. Will be giving her a flush tomorrow and let her go till the end.
