So all good this week, All are still looking healthy & happy apart from the weirdo SP2. There’s amber trichomes so it’s coming down on the weekend. Such weird thing so small & weird but matured really quickly. Gonna dry & then attempt to smoke it - damn straight. Who knows might be chronic right. Also just starting to see some yellowing on bottom leaves of SP3. Was planning a top dress this week anyway but may have left it a few days late. Still this is the longest I’ve kept them looking this healthy and I’ll know for next time so I’m still happy. The big drama this week was a giant fucken Hornet got in the tent while I had it open watering the girls. It was MASSIVE like bigger than my thumb. I wasn’t brave enough to deal with head on but gave it smack with 3 ft bamboo cane and ran out the room and shut the door behind me. I think it’s flew out the window and is gone. But that was 2 days ago and I’m still shitting myself everytime I open the tent in case it’s in there waiting to get me. Running out of the better we’d from last grow so starting to count days to harvest lol. All good though. Thanks for reading have a great week 😊

My GG is safe to say that she is frankensteins bride...this past week has been the most stressful for both of us...from breaking the second main that grew from the first topping resulting in me topping it again, to thinking i was getting early stages of WPM so i milk solutioned both plants, pots, the tent..to realizing that the TG def had a copper deficiency which i solved with a flush with nutes and grow big foliar spray and is now showing great healthy growth...def a learning experience...dont let anyone tell u its easy haha...and if ur finicky and have adhd, just let the plant be, hardest part yet 🤦‍♂️ also did a pretty heavy defol and screen comes up within a week.

In this week i decided to only give them another startbooster which contains some rootstimulator. Some days after feeding with startbooster, i gave them some water. There are still so many kinds of nutrients in the soil. The plants look a little light green, i have been checking my run-off water and it should be fine( still higher EC then i used to have but i have already explained why it is that way). I'm not overwatering so it's not a (N)itrogen problem which can most of the time results into light green leaves. ( when there is no nitrogen in the soil the roots will not or barely take any water(nutrients) I had the same thing with other sativas in the past, behind the window before and in later stages it got solved. I still have to remind myself that it is a fun-outside-grow so i should'nt complain about low humidity(40-45) which should be 85%, temperature 20-21 degrees which should be 26-27, being behind a glas window instead of better exposure to the sunlight or lamps, not having fans on it to get better firm stems or closer lightsource so they don't stretch that much. For now i start getting them used to the sunlight by carefully putting them in shade places or with a few hours sunlight. It went well but except for the bigger pot plant, you can see on the highest leaf that it got a little bit curly but still not a big issue. I might buy some Canna Cure this week. Canna cure is good against insects, molts and such. It also holds some nutrients. Very usefull for outside growing. Since i don't want to overwater or overfeed my plants because i want them to root alot, this might be a solution to give them some extra nutrients, it also makes the leaves more green. When the plants are getting bigger and more thick i want to start doing LTS, i order to do so i just have a little bit time left to bully them a bit with keeping them dry for rooting. I don't want to do that while doing LTS. Don't mind the temperature meter, its not 32 degrees outside. It was still inside behind the window between the curtains. It hotter there. ( might also be the reason for some stretch in the plants)

Just watering the soil when dry in this final week of flower. Untied all LST ties in final days of growth, also defoliating dried up and dying fan leaves. A very piney and berry aroma coming off of this plant.

Aug 16: Lemon Cream Kush has stretched a bit and the buds are starting to fill in. Should be a decent yield and I’m looking forward to the tast of this one.

Week 5 of flower and seed production for all these plants has started in earnest. We cleaned up the tent somewhat and took down all the males after having done their job. Alls left is to wait for finish now. The nute deficiency appears to have corrected itself now that we’ve balanced out the ratios a little more. The WPM is no match for the sodium bicarbonate but still gonna have to keep on top of that to the end of the grow. Full fumigation of the grow spaces will be required - multi-day process I am not looking forward to. Time cleaning is time not growing, sadly. We’re coasting to the finish now but should still have some decent updates on our super secret seed harvesting method once they’ve fully matured😉👍. Hope everyone’s well and grow’n that straight 🔥. Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

Day 43 - Starting week 7 and damn this girl is taking off. She’s starting to bud up nicely and doesn’t seem to have any issues from the feeding of bloom nutes yesterday. The pot is already starting to get light so will be giving her some pH’d water and cal-mag in the next day or two. Day 44 - Nothing much new today but she’s definitely starting her stretch. She’s stretching close to an inch every 24 hours and hoping she doesn’t get too crazy. Will be giving her some fresh water tomorrow. Debating on doing some defoliation, she’s pretty damn bushy right now so might just do a couple fan leaves here and there till I get her thinned out. Day 46 - The girl was pretty dry today and gave her a full gallon of pH’d water (6.4) and some cal-mag. Bud sites are definitely starting to fill in quite and bit and she’s looking great but I did remove a few leaves today to try and make her a little less bushy and will continue to remove a few every few days until she’s nice and open. Day 48 - Almost the end of week 7 and she’s filling in nicely. Will be giving her another feeding of nutes tomorrow and removed a couple more fan leaves tonight.

Hello Diary, I apologize right away for the large number of photos, but it is important for me to document as best I can. This week I also photographed on a black background because they are really beautiful plants. So Medusa F1 is incredibly fast, after only four weeks of flowering, the first Medusa F1 is approaching harvest. I checked the trichomes under a microscope and most of them are milky, on the lower branches the ratio is 50/50. So I will wait a few more days, monitor the situation and harvest at the right time. This time I photographed the second Medusa, a really beautiful plant, but it has not yet matured like the first one. Considering the number of photos, I will not describe the appearance too much, therefore the smell, incredible. No other strain has had such an intense and strong smell so far on my small farm, I am very much looking forward to trying this new strain. Watering is more frequent, every three days I water them with almost 4 liters of water per plant. The conditions are excellent, 25 degrees and less than 40% humidity in the air. Here's how it went last week. 09/03/2023 - Day - 44. Watering. I lowered the p.H. at 6.0 and with 7 liters of water, I watered both plants evenly. 12/03/2023 - Day - 47. Watering and checking trichomes with a microscope. I repeated the watering procedure as I did three days earlier. 14/03/2023 - Day - 49. Photography and video. this time, after the grow box, I also photographed the plants on a black background. It was worth every effort. This weekend I also visited Spannabis, a great event and I'm really grateful to have met some new people in the industry and also some great growers. I'll definitely see you next year. That's all for this week, thanks everyone for your support and comments and see you next week.

I'm happy with how these OG's are growing after I topped them last week. I've just turnt to 12/12 and super cropped the main heads that were getting abit tall. I'm working against height on this grow so I need to keep them low to allow for the stretch!

It was a very simple harvest. It developed a smaller amount of buds but much bigger in size and hard as a rock. Easy to trim. Very sticky and heavy buds. Looking forward to try them, smoke review is coming.... A thousand thanks to Kannabia & Green Buzz Nutrients for their support and sponsorship. Impressive work being done by these giants. I wish them a bright future though with this great work and results, it's a sure thing!

10.29 hours after lights on, fipped to 12-12 today 11.01 video update

This week it seems like they are starting to flower or getting ready to. Day 42 and they are smelling great. I’m super excited to see the difference in plant A and plant B. The runt seems to be bouncing back. After I did some LST it really started to take off.

Uno de los mejores cultivos que he tenido

Havrested a bit before just becouse i needed to have a harvest before the full one

Girls are growing up nice! Went from the solos into the 1 gal pots. OG3 is looking a little droopy, maybe shocked from the transfer. Other two look to be on the money so far. Glad to be back with the photos, being able to control the timing to flower is a great feeling. When my flower tent is freed up in a week or so, I will be moving them over to their final home.

Pineapple Express by Fast Buds is growing so nicely. She already produces a very strong smell, despite being only 4.5 weeks old. Today I took her out to do some minor LST training and trimming. So far she's growing without any issues

Week 8 flower| Buds swelling and ripening up

Tomorrow is the official first week since flip. They are stretching and greening up nicely!! Noticed a little light burn on some tips when I dropped to 18". Gonna see how it progresses. Nutrient wise they are jammin. No issues here. The only problem might be I get overgrown haha! Farmer problems 🤣 Day 12 of flowering. They continue to improve. I believe they are now dug into their new soil and I should have very little trouble keeping them fed. They are really pushing the stretch, especially the BMX!!! It caught up to the sherbs in the last couple days and the bud site structure is TIGHT!!!! The BMX is about to show me what she can do. That Sherbs though, I am so excited about her. Watered all today and they were THIRSTY! took 1 and 1/2 gallons of water to saturate the 7 gallon pots. SCROG LIFE!!! lol

Week 8 flower : still flushing with ph water everyday the run off ec is 0.5 gonna keep flushing for another week . Finishing on 9 weeks The blue cheese I have 2 different phenos . 1 is very blue and weird shaped leaves and is nearly ready gonna give it till end of the week and do 48hrs on dark before harvest The other blue cheese is more green but has grown a lot bigger the colas are amazing it definitely needs another 7-10 days . Sunset sherbet this will be flushed for a few more days and left in dark for 48 hrs This is the first time using led lights and all the bad stuff I heard about mars hydro . I have to say I’m very impressed with what it’s done .

They just kept stacking and stacking. I’m just loving the growth and seeing how beautiful they are coming! Can’t wait till these are done and I can start my fastbud autos!!!!!
