Wow can't believe another week has passed already! Had a busy week with Christmas and family dinners and whatnot so got #1-3 topped early in the week on Xmas Eve. Didn't even look shocked the next day and by end of the week the growth is 1.5" on the new mains already 💪. Topped them maybe a day or so early, it was tight work but looks like all three plants were done properly as can be seen in the pics. Have been watering daily, working on keeping the soil moist and it seems to be making for happy plants. Trying to follow the BuildaSoil watering guide, basically if you think of soil moisture on scale of 1-10, 1 being desert dry and 10 being mud, you want to keep the soil between a 3-7 at all times to promote best organic life 🤷. So if looking at it on a 2 day cycle for me that means day 1 is about 500ml per plant, but day 2 is only 125ml per plant. Also watering with the sprayer seems to be keeping the soil from compacting as badly as it has in previous runs. Also the girls never look sad after watering so must be doing something right 🤞👍. They were in the 4x4 for 3 days, power issues due to big winter storm but even at the high end of VPD (.9) they did well. Could tell a difference though once they did get back in the 3x3 (.5-.6) much happier plants. Hope everyone has had a great holiday season and is enjoying their gardens!

Some of the plants were stretching, we moved them. The bigger ones should enter pre-flower soon.

Nice sized nugs in only 83 days! Very frosty. Can’t wait to sample it.

The week went well. She is getting so fat and chunky. She has a very lemony and sweet smell when you brush up on a bud. I lowered the light schedule to 10/14 a few days ago. More pistils are begining to change now each day. We're coming down the backstretch now. The viedo is probably not so good quality.

Beautiful looking ladies, after 17 days from seed no issues at all, great performance by this 2 ladies, let's see how they keep developing and how big they get before flower! 💚❤️💛👨‍🌾

Kicking off day 1 week 7 of flowering Hitting the finally stretch!

## Week 6 Update: Strong Vegetative Growth Continues 🌿💚 ### 🌱 Preparing for Flowering 🌱 Welcome back! In Week 6, all three of our plants—Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin—are still in the vegetative stage. They are thriving, and this extended time in veg is allowing them to develop robust structures, setting the stage for a strong flowering phase later on. --- ### 🌼 Vegetative Progress 🌼 **Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞** - Growing vigorously, with significant height and branch development. - The plant is responding well to LST, creating a wider and more even canopy. **Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿** - Compact and bushy, with strong, dense growth. - Ideal for smaller spaces, this plant is developing a solid foundation for flowering. **Blueberry Muffin 🥞** - Showing lush foliage and thickening stems. - The extended vegetative period is helping to ensure a healthy, resilient plant ready to support heavy buds. --- ### 🌱 Vegetative Techniques 🌱 To maximize growth during this stage, I’ve focused on several key techniques: - **Low-Stress Training (LST):** Continually training the branches to spread out and create multiple bud sites. - **Topping:** Applied to promote bushier growth and enhance yield potential. - **Defoliation:** Light defoliation to improve air circulation and light penetration to the lower parts of the plants. - **Nutrient Management:** Maintaining a balanced nutrient schedule with an emphasis on nitrogen to support healthy vegetative growth. --- ### 🌿 Looking Ahead 🌿 With all plants still in the vegetative stage, the focus remains on building strong, healthy plants. This extended veg time will pay off when we finally transition to flowering, ensuring that the plants are well-prepared to produce large, high-quality buds. Stay tuned for next week's update as we continue to nurture these plants and prepare for the eventual switch to flowering! Happy growing! 🌿💚

Last week went well. She is growing beautifully and stretching for the sky! Had grown around half inch a day the last week and it made for constant adjusting. Lst has helped her create many tops and she is pretty branchy. She is acting like she might be trying to prove something! Lol. I think she should yield well for a 3: gallon aerated fabric pot. If my plants in 5 gallon containers are considerably heavier yielding than I will move to that size from now on. Aside from wanting a good yield, I want her to be good quality meds. Need something to help me sleep and for pain. Since last week she has her lst ties adjusted to even her canopy and some mild supercropping also. Lastly, I removed a few leaves and tucked a few others. She is doing great and I will update as she progresses. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

Day 50 from seed and this plant has exploded compare to the slow growth at the start. I doubt its ready for harvest by week 8 like it states on the brand. But a few more weeks and should be good. I hope i can get a few ounces of this. Ill update by week 8! One love

Giving her banana peel tea everyday 100mls with a 200ml of water. Hairs are turning orange and now just waiting for them to fatten up.

This week my LSD-25 that I mainlined is having issues, I wasn’t too sure if it was heat stress cause tents temps have gone up to 83 the highest and hovers around high 70’s all week, or if it was a calcium issue, potassium, or nute burn. Either way they’re looking CRISPY lol. The other LSD-25 that was just LST, is actually doing quite well with none of those same problems. I flushed out the burnt plant with some regular PH’d water to see if it had any effect and then finished with some soluble gypsum. Other than that the last 2 plants are doing great and chugging along!

a sweet floral fruity aroma appeared.

Week 7 for 9lb Hammer F2 They have now been getting proper sun light not just shade even though its been quite cloudy the last week with temps dropping a bit at night to 11/12 degrees. Not getting much growth but seem to be drinking more water so hoping the roots are doing some work to push some size by next week. 👊

Missed couple weeks of updating. Apologies. K. Had to move the lady back under my homemade lights. The store bought just kept her trying to bunch up. Needed light through, didn't want to defoliate too much and she resisted opening up. She would actually straighten out the wire reaching for the SB. Sooo, I spread my homemade apart more. I put her back under my direct wire, switchable lights, 5 settings from 2700k-5000k, 6 t8 tubes, 1800 lumens each. Gave her a couple days. She opened right up for me. The SB light high intensity, she was bushy, even after opening up, so at week 3, under homemade, she got some defoliation. Learning more about light. I kept a minimal distance from top, center cola, to reduce it's stretch and allowed the trained limbs to catch up to it. Now @12" from center cola, about 16" from rest of plant and light covers the entire plant. Using 1000w for her babies (clones.) They like it. Using soil. And reading more. Prolly didn't need all the nutes I was giving. Doing well on 1nce weekly fish fertilizer and once weekly Gen Hydro Flora Series mixed for flower. The rest is ph'ed water. Ozarka got expensive. Tried GV spring water. Has near 300 ppm, Ozarka <30. GV pH near and sometimes 10+. Ozarka 8.3 max. GV needs more pH down and it will rise again. I pH let set, then pH again. Pretty sure it's mostly calcium, since it's source is heavy with limestone. Calcium also appears to be a buffer. Ozaka's 8.3 mostly from the calcium, but ph's easily and holds well. Mixing = parts can get a ppm of 160 and pH of 8.7-9. then pH down. Saves a little money and some extra calcium. K done for the week. Bye, y'all.

This week they did more stretching as you can see the one on the left is into and above the light! I can't believe this but I'll role with it! I slowly defoliate just a little here and there between watering and filling the humidifiers. They really like to eat! Also, something to note that is they love the humidity as well as the warmth. I had to clean the outside of their grow bags this week. To my surprise the roots are starting to come out the bag! I can't believe it but this is awesome! Now they'll die due to contact with the air, and in return get bigger to take in even more nutrients! As predicted they fell off because their little pieces are on the floor. Well I fed and watered them daily. Like normal whenever I fed them either nutrients or soil amendments I made sure to water the plants with plain pH balanced H2O the next day in order to flush them. Then I would do any soil amendments if needed. After that plain pH balanced H20 and then you could do another fertilizer nutrient for them. After that pH balanced H20 and then you return to the soil amendments if needed. That way every other day you're feeding soil then pH balanced H20 then nutrients then pH balanced H20. This will allow you to monitor pH imbalances, nutrient burn, or any subtle changes you need to make you can catch it before it happens hopefully!

26.4.25: The plants were watered with 3 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, containing the following nutrients:- ♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) by Greenleaf nutrients ♡ 1/4 Tsp Ecothrive Biosys. 27.4.25: I LST'd again by adjusting the tie downs. For FastBuds Mystery seed auto #1 and RQS Northern Lights autoflower, this will probably be the last time I adjust the fabric ties, as they're now well in to flower. Keeping the canopy as even as possible. 29.4.25: FastBuds Mystery seed #1 has taken very quickly to the readjustment of the fabric ties. Within an hour, the plant had already grown back towards the light. That's always so crazy to me. I watered 3 litres 2 days ago, and I'm not going to water again until it has dried. I suspect that will be at the end of the week. The larger pots are a learning curve with trying to water adequately but not too much. I don't think that I've ever overwatered, I never water to run off. This time came uncomfortably close though Thanks for checking my diary and hanging out 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

I did defolation the larger leaves. because they were turning yellow. in 2 weeks or 3 should be ready .its nutrition has been only organic ... with earthworm humus and red bird guano.
