Final week with all the girls, I found mold in two plants, approx. 1-2 gram I must throw out.

Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. Well... The plants are almost ready.... I'm starting to see a lot of milky trichomes. I'll start flushing now and go for about 10 more days. What I mean by flushing is to water them with ph adjusted tap water with hardly any runoff. I let the plant use up all the food in the pot. Tastes better that way. It will take 6 or 7 days to finish the harvest. I like to wet trim then hang the branches for a couple of days. I wanted to cut them down starting Sun, but the weather channel said "hot that week", so I'll shoot for the next Sun. The long range forecast said it would be a bit cooler. It's tough working in the greenhouse when it's over 30*c in there. 😓 OK. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.

Going great so far except the 2 Gorilla Zkittles are still a little far behind but they are starting to bounce back! Day 18 everything finally transplanted in 5 gallon pots except the hulk berry is in the 3 gallon, hopefully the 1 small gorilla zkittles hits a growth spurt soon🤞🏼

April 26, 2024 Day 71 This week we focus on watering and nutrients. A secondary focus will be on a changing environment and light intensity changes. Both ladies had their reservoirs cleaned out and have fresh nutrients. It's also the start of late flower, so things will be changing with the nutrient dosage. I'll most likely keep the nutrients the same for this week, but I may start to drop the dosage a little for each watering until the flush period starts. So depending on how they look, I may change the dosage for this week's last watering. I'll be bringing it down 25%. So 8 ml goes down to 6 ml and 4 ml goes down to 3 ml. I'll change this for the next 2 weeks until it's just plain water for 2 waterings and then Flawless Finish. It should play out quite well. The lighting will also be changing a bit this week. I'll be dropping the DLI to 43 mol/m²/d mid week and will then lower it to 40 mol/m²/d beginning next week. I'll then drop it to 36 mol/m²/d the week after and finally 32 mol/m²/d for the final week. The environment will also be dropped from 77° to 75° during the day and from 68° to 65° at night. The humidity is solid at 47% and I think that's the best I can do for the rest of the grow. Both plants look great. They have tons of orange pistils and tons of trichomes. I'll be taking trichome pics every few days. One for each plant. I feel like it'll be a better comparison than daily pics. For the trichomes anyway. Anyway, they both still have time to swell their buds more. I'm not expecting big buds from these two. Medium sized maybe, but definitely not big. They just don't look like they will get that big. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 47.7% VPD: 1.49 kPa April 27, 2024 Almost all of the pistils are orange now on both plants, but the buds are still swelling. Interesting. I'll be taking trichome pics today at some point. I was going to yesterday, but got distracted with video games. Whoops. There's tons of trichomes. They are definitely frosty and continuing to get frostier. Nothing much to do today. Each plant got an inspection and passed with flying colors. There were some loose tie downs as well. Mostly from the crowding in the tent. So those got removed. Tropicana Cookies is looking super good now with her buds being everywhere and them swelling up finally. She could stand to get a few leaves taken off, but I'd rather just leave it alone now. No sense in undue stress. Tropicana C also looks great. She has to be the biggest of the two. Not the tallest, but definitely the most girthy. Lots of buds and also starting to finally swell up. I'd also like to mention the colors coming from both plants where the buds are nearly done. Lots of purple hues. You can't really see them from the small sugar leaves and frost covering it. But it's there. The lighting as I said will stay the same for the first half of this week. Then I'll drop it. However, I may leave it to next week. We shall see. The environment is looking pretty good. The temp is a bit high currently at 77.8°. the humidity is still at 47%, but I managed to get it down to 44% for most of yesterday afternoon. The DLI is a bit high today at 1.66 kPa. Nothing a small adjustment won't fix. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 45.7% VPD: 1.55 kPa April 28, 2024 Not a lot going on today. I'll be refilling the reservoirs later this afternoon. That's about it. I have a bit of a concern. Both ladies have really small buds, and I think they may have stopped swelling. I'm wondering if I have nutrient lockout or something. They are showing signs of stress. So I've already started dropping the nutrients down by cutting Overdrive in half as it seemed to have been the original cause of the nutrient burn. And the next watering will have all nutrients cut in half. Next week I'll drop it to 25% and leave it til flush, which may be next week anyway. We shall see. Other than that, both plants are covered in trichomes. They smell wonderful as well. Like orange and some other light citrus and gas. Smells super good as well as sweet. There is also a hint of cookies. The DLI will be dropped to 40 mol/m²/d tomorrow. I'm assuming it will only be a 10% drop on power, so I shouldn't lose much penetration. The environment is off today. It's warm and super humid with bouts of rain. So naturally, the tent environment is all wonky. The temp is at 75.5° with the humidity way up at 60%. I turned the AC on and now it's just a matter of tweaking and waiting. I may have to crank it and sacrifice some temp for lower humidity. It should be fine that way, but the humidity is definitely too high. Update: I ended up adding about a half gallon of plain water to both reservoirs. Just Incase I have nutrient lockout or something. They should go through that by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe late evening. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 52.8% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 29, 2024 No watering today. The plants are both still going through the half gallon of plain water from yesterday. Let's hope it clears up the nutrient burn. They look great with their trichome coverage. The only thing I'm pretty disappointed about is the size of the buds for both plants. I wonder what I did wrong. I'm guessing the introduction to Overdrive was about 2 weeks too early. Removing the Big Bud was also a major mistake I think. It should have stayed in the mix for 2 more weeks. Lesson learned, make adjustments to any feeding schedule to match the plants growth stage. Maybe I'll ask that question. The lighting was changed today. I dropped the power level down to 70% to get a DLI of 40 mol/m²/d. It's not perfect as the plants do not have level canopies, so some of the spots go all the way up to 45 mol/m²/d still. It's not a bad thing I think. The DLI was a bit high for those tops anyway. The environment is still wonky. The temp is fine at 76° to 77°. A bit high from what I want, but not out of range. I'd still like it down to 75° or 74°. The humidity is what's out of whack at 60% and it doesn't seem to want to drop. I have a heater on to clear out the room humidity and a dehumidifier in the tent working it's hardest. Which isn't very hard. I believe the fans are going on it. It may be time for another one. Something the same size but more powerful. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 59.8% VPD: 1.15 kPa April 30, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got their full gallon of nutrients. I'm going to cut it when it drains down some with plain water. Both plants look good even though they have small buds. They are everywhere and seem pretty dense. So it's just a matter of time. Maybe another 2 weeks. Maybe less. Hopefully less. The nutrient burn was an issue, but now I think it's good. I dropped the Overdrive significantly, but I think I can plainly say, I have ruined my yield for these two plants. Lesson learned. Plain water at the first signs of stress. The scent is super strong now and smells like oranges and candy. Or something like that. All I know is that it smells great. The lighting is pretty good. No reaching yet, so it's definitely not too low. I may just leave it here for the rest of the grow. I read that lights don't need to be dimmed for autoflowers. It could be right. I've never dimmed the lights before. We shall see I guess. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being high still at 57%. I can control the temp pretty easily, but the humidity will not budge. I'll keep trying. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 57.0% VPD: 1.26 kPa May 1, 2024 Nothing to do today with these two. No watering needed, no light changes, nothing. I pulled them out, tooky pictures and checked them over. No issues pest or fungus or anything. The only issue I have is the nutrient burn. Some of the leaves are getting yellow spots on them and frankly I have no idea what to do here. Keep the nutrients the same? Cut the nutrients down some over the next week or 2? Go with plain water? Not too sure. I still see many stresses. And I think that is the cause of my tiny buds. It seems that I did take the Big Bud out too early and added the Overdrive way too soon. Oops. Lesson learned with this run. I don't think it's a matter of an over abundance of nutrients, but the wrong ones at the wrong time when the plants weren't ready for it. I'm guessing that's what has happened here. Both ladies smell fantastic. Super sweet and strong. Crisp, and not pungent. Refreshing even. Tropicana Cookies has some pretty hard buds and lots of them. Of course, larger buds are preferred, but as long as these come out fire, I'll be happy. Her branches also seem to be holding up nicely. Tropicana C on the other hand has weaker branches and the tallest top is starting to lean pretty heavily. A great sign for bud density. Both plants have phenomenal trichome production. It's getting better everyday. Tons of clear with a mix of cloudy and amber, definitely not ready yet, but soon I think. Very soon. Maybe another week and a half? Maybe 2. As I said before, I didn't change the lighting at all. It's current DLI is 40 mol/m²/d through most of the central canopy. The outside of the canopy is roughly 38 mol/m²/d. So it's all good now. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being at 59%. It's maddening. The room is 49% and the temp is fine at 75°. I'll sacrifice up to 77° if I can get the humidity around 50%. Not ideal for this stage in life, but it will have to do of I can even get it there. I do have a large dehumidifier, but it doesn't work right. When the compressor shuts off, it blows are that humid air right back into the room. I need a new one. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 56.1% VPD: 1.27 kPa May 2, 2024 Not a lot going on today. No watering, no trimming, nothing. I did change the light last night to 80% power. Tropicana Cookies looks great! She has purple coming out all over her buds. No fade yet though. I can assume that will be coming through in the next week or so. Her tops buds are getting slightly fatter and heavier than before. I hope it will continue to do so over the next 2 weeks. Tropicana C is slightly behind. She doesn't have nearly as many orange pistils and the purple is just starting to come through. However, she has tons of trichomes covering everything top to bottom. Her buds are about the same size as her sister, so they may end up swelling bigger than Tropicana Cookies when all is said and done. We shall see. As I said earlier in today's post, I changed the light power from 70% back up to 80%. I think I dropped it too early and need to adjust it accordingly. I'll drop it again in a week or so. Maybe less. Now the DLI is at 43 mol/m²/d inside and 40 mol/m²/d on the outside. The environment is still off, but not as much. The humidity continues to be high, but only at 55% verses the 60% it's been stuck at for the last few days. The temp is fine at 74.5°, but I think I can increase that a bit and hopefully drop the humidity down in turn. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa

Inicia nueva semana se prepara para orientar ramas 28 - 3 julio

Everything is going great. No major issues no major problems. Plant growth is phenomenal. I’m gonna lower my scrog net a good 6 - 8 inches tomorrow. Get the plants growing into it. I figure another 3-5 weeks of veg and then off to the races. I haven’t yet decided if I’m going to use canna boost this round. I haven’t decided if it’s worth the cheese anyone wanna give their ¢.02? I’ll definately use molasses in flower. But that’s it, I don’t like adding adjuncts and unneeded crap. It’s all just a waste. I used mammoth last grow on one plant and the plant I didn’t didn’t use it on got higher yeilds buy quite a bit. 1/2 Oz. So that’s shit is snake oil. I really feel anything you add to your grow should yield you more than it costs right? ROI.

All sugar leaf have only 3 finger, with bucket 1.80m

Nice healthy plant nothing to complain about I’m excited about this one

Plants were watered on day 3 of week 8, as follows: Lucy: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.57 (no nutrients) Herbert: 1.25 gallons water, pH: 6.38 (no nutrients) Plants were watered on day 4 of week 8, as follows: Thin Mint: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.01 (in nutrient distress) Thin Mint Jr: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.5 (in nutrient distress) ***(both plants fed with BioCanna BioVega Nutrient - 3% N, 1% Phosphate, 5% Soluble Potash) Plants were watered on day 7 of week 8, as follows: Thin Mint Sr: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.50, Height: 18.5 in. (in nutrient distress - in process of recovery) Thin Mint Jr: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.50, Height: 18 in (in nutrient distress - in process of recovery) Lucy: 1 gallon water, pH: 5.98, Height: 21 in. Herbert: 1.5 gallons water, pH: 5.66, Height: 22 in. ***(All plants fed nutrients - 5 ml/.5 gal BioVega (3% N, 1% Phosphate, 5% Soluble Potash), 7 ml/.5 gal BioBoost (1% Phosphate), and 1 ml/.5 gal BioRhizotonic (0.6% Soluble Potash))

I kept a close eye on defoliation. But it isn't easy now. Hopefully, she gets a huge collar.

Ok, so this week I have put a microscope to the girls and the tops are showing a hell of a lot of amber so I have taken the tops off of them all to dry. Underneath is still more undeveloped so will leave the rest a while longer. No nutes the past week and not gonna add any more.

7.07.25.day 46 No training qas done in last 2 weeks. Left to her own devices. I will lilipop today and LST. Also fresh reservoir change out. 12 07.25 Day 51. Reservoir change out.

F36, desde los últimos 3 riegos, empecé a regar día por medio, con la idea que que engorden más en esta etapa, esperando no sobre fertilizar, también agregue melaza en el último riego, el cuál fue de EC 2.2 y pH 6.4. En cuanto a tricomas/resina las plantas están espectaculares, el olor también es impresionante.

Day 36 to 42 I haven't been able to strap down Stardawg #2 (bottom left) much because I cracked the stem slightly. It's healing fine and not a major concern but I'd rather hang on a bit. # Day 36 - Fed 410ppm full strength to FR1 - Fed 360 ppm half bloom(1:2 bloom:veg) to rest until they are flowering more. # Day 38 - Fed 710 ppm full strength to FR1 (I am going to start boosting higher now, I should have been at this strength at week 3-4 - 360ppm half bloom to the rest # day 40 - 810 ppm to FR 1 - 610 ppm to rest 5:1 veg to bloom. See nutrients ratios above # Day 41 - Plants were looking dry and I was nervous about how many nutes I fed them so I fed them water PhD to 5.8. - FR1 FLUSHED with 5.8. I chickened out 🐔

Okay, thank you so much @SmokingTiki for donating me his first price of the fast buds TikTok challenge. And thank you Heather from @Fast_Buds for the super fast coordination and shipping. You both rock and I really appreciate this – it's just amazing 💚 Will start Germination tomorrow. UPDATE April 29th: Put the seeds directly in substrate on April 26th, three days later they already put her heads out of earth. It was a sunny day and it's just perfect for little Guava. Welcome little girl! 💚

Water was @PH level 6.4 and ppm was 300. Plants seem slightly stunted from transplant. I may have transplanted a day late. Can anyone tell me what they think about the plant in the back left. Its blue dream same as the plant in the green fabric pot? Light is a lil over 50% power at 24 inches from canopy. I still see a little leef curling/cupping???

This lady is so short and stocky, it’s really hard to make it look good in a picture, it just looks like a little bush lol. But don’t let the pictures fool you, this plant is looking to bring some killer flowers, still very small but I anticipate them packing on some serious weight in the next 3 weeks. Lots of thricome production so far and now you can tell it’s starting to put on weight. I’m very thrilled with this cycle of plants I’ve had, running into no problems, and really have my nutrients dialed in and really helps in knowing what my plants need now.
