We are almost at operational capacity .... last week of veg under this massive light for batch 001... included pic of veg tent which is technically batch 001.... Need help sexing the middle plant! it came from bagseed (black ice gelato) and I need to avoid crosspollination. over feeding but I'm glad i'm learning now ahead of next batches.. dialing in things nicely... happy with growth and health of the plants.... just a matter of time.... love the support so far ... please help me with identifying males if you can! :)

Final week. Power buds from Plagron helps accelerate the flowering period for sure. I am harvesting tomorrow.😎 This week no fertilizers just water only. Overall happy with the way they shaped up, compared to other strains from other breeders. Need to see after harvest but as a first impression this strain is amazing. The smell now is out of this world. Zesty!!!Lots of citrus scent.Loving it. As for the LST only vs topped. I like the LST only. It matured faster. It is bigger. It has more bud sites . Had an overall better structure. Refer to videos for comparison. But need to see the harvest, weight, smoke report for full comparison Till harvest 👏🎉

6/7 - Day 78/Day 38 Flower Lower leaves continue to show signs of a deficiency but haven't been able to pinpoint what is causing it. I watered with a gallon of distilled water today in order to induce runoff. I got the following readings: - pH: 6.3 - PPM: 1530 - EC: 3.1 My PPM reading is about 120 less than last week which tells me that my girl is still feeding but not nearly at the rate that I would have anticipated this late in flower. I'm going to hold off on supplementing with any additional nutrients until I get down to 1200. Given how much time is left in flower (3 weeks), I doubt I'll hit that threshold before my flush. Going to continue just watering and watching pH. I've noticed that the smell has started to dissipate a bit over the last few weeks. I've had a stint of a few hot days where the tent was registering temps in the 90s. I'm hoping that I didn't compromise my terpene production. Only time will tell. 6/12 - Day 83/Day 43 Flower Starting to see signs that my leaves are entering the fade so decided to take a peak at my trichomes to see how close I am to harvest. I'd estimate the ratio of clear to cloudy trichomes to be at about 60% to 40%. Seeing a few amber heads but they are few and far between. Forgive the potato quality of the trichome pics - need to work on my photo technique. Based on the guidance from ILGM, the flowering period is expected to last 9 weeks and I'm right at the tail end of week 6. Given my current progress and how my trichs are looking, I'd expect that I'll be in a position to do a final flush next weekend. I'm going to hold off on feeding any further nutrients from here on out so that I can reduce my PPM count and have my girl ride out the remaining nutes in the soil. Based on my readings from early in the week, seems like there is still plenty of food in the medium. On a positive note, I noticed that the smell returned last night! Assuming I corrected the problem that cause the smell to dissipate over the last couple weeks - I am looking forward to a pungent yield in a couple weeks!

Just in time for the start of the 5th week, the first pistils appeared, so I started adding Bio-Grow to the fertilizer. The plant now takes up almost the entire surface area of the grow box, but fortunately it has stretched a little and gained some height. The LST was adjusted again and again and a few leaves were removed from time to time so that as many shoots as possible received enough light.

Alots transpired but not really lol. Chopped 3 so far for being male and as you can see this week I may (99% sure) have another male. I’ve given one light feed of Cronk grow, kelp me kelp you, and some cal mag. So looks like I’ll be taking 3 into flower which is all I wanted to know before spent too much effort and time on em. Prolly transplant the 2 smaller ones this week and just continue to wait it out. I know next time I could wait a few weeks before popping new beans if they’re regs atleast…

D64. We're at the start of the fourth week of flower, and today was a busy day. First, I had to remove the old lights before swapping in the light from my auto tent. All while trying to avoid trashing the plants in the way too full tent. Not an easy task. The entire mission, with changing the light in the auto tent as well, took a couple of hours. I wish I could keep the Greenception lights in the tent as they're high-quality lights, but the Kingbrite has a much lower profile and thus takes up much less space. Space that I desperately need considering how insanely much these girls stretched. One of the tops on the second girl has unfortunately already been bunt by being too close to the light, and I'm sure I will run into light bleaching and probably foxtailing as the grow progress, but I hope I will be able to pull it off with the Kingbrite light. I also added some wire support to the branches that I super-cropped, as they looked somewhat sad after all the abuse to the canopy while swapping the lights. ------------------------------ D66. It looks like the girls have FINALLY stopped stretching. Phew! Yesterday, I gave each girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.2 with humic acid and EM-1. Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) arrived, and I dispersed them in the tent to deal with the thrips. ------------------------------ D68. All is well in the tent, but now when the thrips are (hopefully) under control, it's time to address the VPD. It has gotten seriously out of wack due to dropping temps, plus I increased the humidity to make the environment more inhospitable for the thrips. The temps were low due to the light change as the new one is running a lot cooler, but the temps have also dropped outside. The heating in the lungroom has been off until now, so I turned that on and lowered the humidity threshold on my exhaust fan. Finally, I put my small humidifier in the tent, generating extra heat and decreasing the humidity. So far, the VPD has increased from a terrible 0.4-0.5 to an acceptable 0.9, and I'm hoping it will increase further as the ambient RH drops as we move into winter. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the fourth week of flower, and all is well in the tent. The VPD has gone up to 1.0, which is a nice improvement to what it was only a couple of days ago. I haven't scouted yet for thrips, but I will give the lacewings a couple of days to do their thing and then look closer. However, I went to WAR against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead. The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive. ------------------------------

- Day 45 Time to water again. I used 2.2 liters of water @ 6.4ph containing silica force, calmag, bio-grow, bio-bloom, top-max, alg-a-mic, acti-vera & bio-heaven. Not much to report otherwise. I am mainly just trying to keep the top of that main branch in check and growing horizontally. Day 47 I raised the light a bit down to 44cm high, wanted to increase PPFD a bit, she is getting ~810 PPFD at the top now. Those buds are getting a lot thicker already than my previous grow at this stage. Day 48 Watering day used 2.2 liters again @ 6.4ph, containing bio-grow, bio-bloom, top-max, alg-a-mic & bio-heaven. Day 49 The buds are really starting to fatten up now, and it's smelling great 😊. Day 51 Watered again today she is drinking A LOT right now. Gave her 2.3L @ 6.4 ph, containing bio-grow, bio-bloom, top-max, bio-heaven, alg-a-mic & acti-vera.

Not much has really changed this week from last week. They are starting to swell up a bit more. Next week I think will be the time to start flushing them.

Che dire, queste 3 ragazze di Seeds Mafia sono alla terza settimana di fioritura, ho slittato di qualche giorno perché non sto benissimo con i polmoni, non sono riuscito a stare dietro come volevo ma alla fine meglio così, siamo circa a 1650 ec e ph 6.7, Original Skunk sembra avere delle macchie colore ruggine sulle vecchie foglie a ventaglio… sembrerebbe un eccesso di ferro? Sembra strano, nel complesso ho aumentato ricircolo di aria e alzato il ph di qualche punto..andiamo avanti così 🌀😁💚🔆😈🎬🕷️

So harvest time finally. Only 2 plants at the end but still I am happy with the result. After cutting them I placed them for 4 days inside the dark tent. I struggle a bit with the humidity as the air was really dry. So now its time for curring. I have placed the bud inside jars. Lets wait for a few weeks to have a first try ! See you for the smoke review.

Did some defo this week and put in The undercanopy lights. So far the Fullgas is The clear winner,Looks alot more vigerous also a deeper Green color on The leafs. Seems Like The Stretch is slowly coming to an end. They are all starting to produce flower now. I cant wait for The smell to start develop. So far there is pretty much No smell. Time to lay Back and let them do their thing.
