1️⃣2️⃣ Final Week Flower : 11/05 - 16/05 💡 Light schedule: 24 hours 📏 Lamp To Plant Distance: 60cm ⚡ Dimming: 100% 🌡️ Average temperature: 23,5° ☔ Average humidity: 60% ------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, we’ve reached the final week, and I think they'll be ready by May 16th. The remaining 14 days are reserved for drying. I decided to do one last defoliation, removing all the leaves that were too damaged and allowing the light to penetrate more deeply. There’s a mix of photos showing them before and after the defoliation. Speaking of light, last week I changed the cycle, and until the 16th, they'll be on 24/24 light—first time I'm trying this method instead of the usual 2 days of darkness. On the 16th, I'll take them out of the tent and snap the final photos. It hasn’t been an easy journey... Right at the start, during germination, while handling the pots, I dropped the light on top of them. I had to germinate a new seed, which became R03. Later, during the vegetative stage, I dropped the R02's pot, affecting her so much that she's now on the balcony and half the size of the others (to be fair, R01 and R03 grew so much that they completely took over the tent 😅). Then there was my excitement when preparing the soil, which ended up being a bit too hot with nutrients, causing both plants to yellow earlier than expected. I tried to correct this by watering without nutrients for a while; it didn’t help much, but I believe if I hadn’t done that, things would’ve been worse. Even with all that, they turned out to be big girls, with plenty of bud sites, and they’re now entering that final phase of fattening up.! Let’s see what they can do in these last 5 days! 💚 ----------------------------------------------------------------- #13/05/2025 I can already see some final improvements, hehe. I watered them one last time with 3.5L of plain water each, because on May 16th, or at the latest the 17th, it's time to cut and put them to dry for the remaining days of the contest. Everything is super tight around here, but we’re going to make it! 💪🏻 I'm thinking of doing a wet trimming when I cut the plants and put them to dry. This way, I can speed up the drying process and gain an extra day or two with them in the tent. 👨🏻‍🌾 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 16/05/25 I'm going to leave them for one more night, from the 16th to the 17th. Tomorrow they'll be chopped, and I'll create a week for the final photos before the harvest weeks with the dried buds! So, it took 12 weeks from seed to harvest. See you tomorrow 🤛🏻💚

6/19 Knowing it was going to be over 100° for the majority of the day I WATERED the garden with 3 1/2 gallons. I went to check around 4 and everything looked amazing. We got some hard rain from a thunderstorm at 4pm but it seems like these girls like it rough and did fine. The take a beating and come back stronger. Knock on wood but I haven't seen any problems on the plant I snapped amd dict taped.. Everything seems to have toughened up and the leaves are an awesome healthy color. They grow observable every day now. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 100 again for most of the day before weather goes back to semi normal. I took a video but it will take way to long to upload. Tons of other pics didn't upload either. 6/20 Another day that's going to be over 100°. Plants seem to love it lol. I can't believe what I'm seeing. Bags still had some heft so I didn't water this morning. I figure I'll check them around noon and then plan on watering tonight if they need it. Hopfully they'll get some rain from thunderstorms. This crop has been through a lot. I think that has helped them significant deal with this unpredictable weather. 6/21 We had a MAJOR thunderstorm with sheet rain yesterday. I missed it but it was intense. I saw some videos. First time dad seemed concerned. Fortunately there was no damage. I was going to water today but I decided to hold off due to the look of the plants and the "praying leaves" at 4pm and feeling some moisture in the soil. Bags seemed to still have some heft. I'll probably water tomorrow. Need to transplant the 1 gals and need to figure out what I want to do for nutes this year. So far I've put in much less effort and I'm still doing great. I just don't have as many plants as usual. 6/22 Rained last night. Not much but the bags were heavy still so I held off watering. Plants looked happy and I can fix under watering much easier. It will rain tomorrow. I'll check throughout the day and update but things are going good. I should transplant those 3 seedlings in 1 gals. 6/23 It Rained last night and is suppised to rain today. It was raining when i went over. Just the kind if rain the plants love. I'll check again before church but I'm eventually going to have to water them. Those thunder storms helped a lot. 6/24 Rained about an inch yesterday. Plants loved it. Bigger everytime I see them. One seedling showed a pistol and I'll transplant it with the rest. It was the only one I was worried about. I've seen a FEW leaf hopper punctures and some other bites that could be anything. Time to get the ipm 6/25 Looks like its gonna be a nice sunny day. 75° at 10am. Plants are doing amazing and growing at a rapid pace. Haven't done anything ipm as of yet but any damage I've seen is localized to "A" leaf on "A" plant. I'll be paying attention and watching for signs of deficiencies. As of now though they LOOK great. I'll try to transplant the 3 seedlings today.

7/23 I already wrote a bunch of shit but my phone wacked out and deleted everything I had written and wouldn't work. I had to water deeply as it's been super hot. I'll write everything thing below. 7/24 I deeply watered everything again. The past few days have been like 90 plus degrees. I think I saw mld on the soil of my plants. Scary. Just fuzzy looking shit on a couple. I did water during the day when I got back from vacation as they were drooping and needed a feed. I'm wondering if it's diatomaceous earth since I've never used it. I thought I had a handle on earwigs but they seem to be inflicting more damage and shred some leaves or chew new bud sites. WPM is still there but I've been hesitant to treat since it's been so fucking hot. Today I saw too leaves tacoed. I'll definitely up the kelp the next feed. Senecios is definitely happening. It looks like a deficiency sometimes but the have grown a tremendous amount in height. I showed a commercial grower and he seconded my opinion. I have a lot of work to do. I have kinda forget the two little clones I took. They are still in 1 gallon pots all rootbound. Thy were extras anyway. That skunk ape plant is a beast and super resilient. I think that's a strain I'll stick with. Super mild and pest resistant. I have videos to add but internet is slow and I need to put the phone down so it can charge. I really need to think about when to switch to bloom nutes. I might need open sesame but it's the only one I don't have and I don't think it will make it or break it if I don't use it 7/25 I've been neglecting my garden the past few mornings due to some family medical problems. I didn't water this morning. I read about the mold on the soil (two bags same strain far from each other) and garden pages say that it's a (good) mold and "the soil is banging!" as in very good soil. And it's just eating the decomposing material. I'll research more but it said something on a cannabis forum to scoop it off the top and treat with vinegar solution. Thing is those are like the best plants lol. It's weird. Maine weather is bi-polar. I also forgot about a couple clones I had taken. They were just extras but still. I might transplant them even though they are still in the 1 gallon. 7/26 I didn't water today and my phone completely shut the bid so no photos or videos either. Next feed I'm switching to bloom. I defoliated what needed it. Eating population seems down but I've still got some pm. I wasn't planning on spraying until Temps are down. Mayve tonight. Once I figure this phone out and point some time at the garden I'll update. I spent quite a while defoliating today. Plants are almost through the stretch. They've been 7/27 fed 3 gallons. Upped grow big to 2tsp per gallon and defoliated what needed it. My blueberry was drooped right over and seems to be "falling" and the roots seemed to he breaking away from the plant due to somevof the strong storms. Itscrhe only plant not supported. I added a stake and tied it back up. Then I topped off the soil with happy frog and mounded it up around the trunk and watered around it. 7/28 I'm still noticing earwig damage. Wr found one in the house. I put out more of those spinosid pelleys and reapplied diatomaceous earth as well as re-applyong petroleum jelly on bottom of plant stalk and branch intersections. PM is still visible. I'm planning to spray either tonight or tomorrow. It will probably be with the organocide. The potassium bicarbonate works good too. I wish either of those worked in earwigs. When the internet is faster I'll upload a video showing the interior of the plant. 7/29 We had brief but torrential rains last night. I defoliated a bucket full of used up leaves. Either that or deficiency that I haven't nailed down. I believe it's senescence since it happens the same time of year according to past journals. However it concerns me that it could possible be related to a time (in (nature) which the earwigs become larger and more aggressive. I don't know. Im guessing. They like to eat the shoots that grow the buds. I need to check soil ph. Some small leaves turn yellow and die. Plants look great and are really transitioning and "stretching" like crazy. I will update further later.

Changes again, this time it is what it is. Whatever comes out, in the end, is better than nothing. So I constructed a light board and have attached 120watts of CFL bulbs to this board so that it can surround the plants at a close distance. There is still more 2700k spectrum to it than 6500k, but it was either full 2700k or this. I have also added a fan and humidifier I got from a friend. I call it the moonball. So for +- 4 hours a day the plants will be in direct sun, then after they will go back into the moonball for the remaining 14 hours. Then for the very first time, and a new concept to me, I have started doing L.S.T. Excited about this, as I have seen many plants done in this technique and it always did make me curious as to how it is done. Now I will get to see it for my very own eyes and my own plants :) Hopefully, I am doing it, right? suggestions are welcomed, I am learning still. #justnotgivingup

Es ist mittlerweile Tag 72 seit Beginn der Vegetation und Tag 42 der Blüte. Die Ladies sehen reier aus als sie sind, ich vermute durhc den Mangel an Stickstoff läuft es etwas anders ab als 100% ideal. Der Duft steigert sich schön weiter. Das Blueberry Aroma ist wirklich sehr intensiv. Da ich eine Woche ausser Haus war wurde ordentlich bewässert und dzau eine Wifi fähige Tropfbewässerung installiert. Schön, wenn man aus der Ferne die Bewässerung steuern und sehen kannn ob sie läuft. Und jetzt kommen wir zu meiner Unachtsamkeit deluxe ...die Pumpe hat eine richtig schöne grüne LED für die Anzeige der Spannungsversorgung ! ist mir per Zufall heute aufgefallen, als ich 2 min nach Einbruch der Dunkelphase kurz das Zelt öffnete. Mir ist ganz anders geworden als ich gesehen habe wie hell die LED im Zelt war! Ich hoffe ich habe jetzt keine Zwitterei getriggert, der Zustand war jetzt genau eine Woche gegeben. Immerhin, es ist eine grüne LED, hoffe sehr dass es nicht die run versaut hat. Es ist recht kurz vor Ende, noch 3 -4 Wochen bis zur Ernte schätz ich. Ich bin jetzt auf meine Spiegelreflex Kamera gewechselt, wie man sieht muss ich aber damit noch üben, man möge bitte Geduld haben bis die Fotos von den Settings top sind. Ich mag jetzt nicht ewig am Stück rumtesten, dafür duftet es dann doch schon zu stark. :)

La planta cubrió exitosamente toda la superficie, tiene un sistema radicular sano, el único detalle es que cuando se hace el cambio de agua y se quita la red la planta se estresa un poco al volver a colocar la red

05.04.21 Anfang der 3ten blüte Woche.Hab mich jetzt dazu entschieden das biegen und binden ein zu stellen natürlich halte ich weiter die Blätter unter dem netzt aber ich erlaube den Ladys jetzt durch das Netz auf zu steigen hab ja noch genügend Platz nach oben(hoffe ich). Das Wachstum is immer noch ziemlich stark ich denke mal das wird sich diese Woche auch nicht wirklich viel dran ändern und sie zieht vom trinken her stark an hab anfang der ersten woche 1x 4l mit Zusätzen gegossen und das hat 7 Tage gehalten bin jetzt an Tag 15 und muss alle 4 Tage 4l giessen gutes Zeichen denke ich mal..... 06.04.21 hab heute nur Blätter unters netzt gesteckt und schon von meinem nächsten Grow geträumt..... 07.04.21 wieder ein Tag vergangen und mehr als Blätter unterm Netz halten und hier und da mal ein Blatt entfernen war heut auch wieder nicht los... 08.04.21 heute war mal wieder bewässern dran und das tägliche Spiel Blätter weg stecken sonnst war nix weiter..... 09.04.21 hab das gefühl das das Wachstum anfängt sich ein zu stellen und Blätter hab ich heut wieder unters netzt gebogen was das hoch drücken der Blätter betrifft sind die Ladys ziemlich stark und eigenwillig gehe 2x täglich runter drücken unters netz werde nächstes mal eine kürzere Maschen weite fürs netz nehmen dachte 10 cm ist genug platz aber 5 cm pro Kästchen sollten sicher auch reichen das macht das spiel mit dem biegen und binden sicherlich einfacher und lässt die Blätter besser an Ort und Stelle Ach ja und ein paar Blätter hab ich heute noch entfernt ist aber auch bald mal Ende mit Blätter entfernen ich will sie nicht zu stark stressen... 10.04.21 Blätter unterm netz halten knapp 2 Std einige Blätter entfernt die von unten gegen die buds drücken sonnst war nix.... 11.04.21 hab heute wieder mal nur Blätter unters netzt gedrückt und den Pflanzen beim wachsen zu geschaut die Woche lief super bin echt stolz auf mich das ich die Finger so gut von der schere lassen könnte die letzten 21 Tage hab das netzt mal fast voll bekommen obwohl ich zu geben muss das die Masse die da wächst mir angst macht vor schimmel im späteren Verlauf des grows....
