Week 8 in the books, cruising to the finish line two more hard watering each and 48 hrs of darkness starting Friday. Genetics: Natty Roots Seed Co Instagram: @green_house_lab

Week 8 Flower | GMO × Triangle Mints BX Week 15 overall, and we are in the final stretch. One week out from harvest and the room is telling that story loud and clear. The fade is deep and progressing perfectly — the plants are drawing down everything they have left, channelling it all into the buds in one last push. The purple expression that showed itself last week has deepened across multiple plants, the calyxes are swelling, and the trichome coverage is dense across every site from top to bottom. Watering climbed again to 8L per plant per 24h — the root zone is pulling everything it can get in these final days. pH holding at 6.2, EC stepped further down to 1.2 mS/cm as the fade protocol does its work and the plant takes over. Height unchanged at 110cm, lamp still at 20cm — nothing moves from here. Humidity holding at 50%, day temp 25°C, nights 23°C. Feed stack stripped back to the essentials for the final week: Athena Fade carrying the programme, Canna CalMag Agent 1.1 ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1 ml/l. Nothing else. Clean finish, no interference — let the plant do the rest. The candy gas is relentless at this point. Harvest is next week. The GMO × Triangle Mints BX delivered exactly what was asked of it. Next update Sunday. Stay tuned

This tent is just crushing it this week! Everyone and their mother is covered in trichome-y goodness. These ladies definitely have a heavy diesel smell coming on this week smell going on for them!

Hello growers and welcome to week 6. I expect Queen Citronella to gain a lot of height this week. I will be doing the measurements shortly, but first I wanted to share some news! Queen Citronella has a new home, she hasn't moved in yet, but I'm working on it today. I will also be rearranging all the other grows and starting some new things off! I am not sure if I have mentioned it anywhere but I am using a 1.2m x 1.2.m x 1.8m tent.. I have just got a 60cm x 60cm x 140cm tent and a 300w LED. Her Majesty I hope will enjoy her new quarters. Day 36: I have lowered the light to 30cm above the tallest plants. Day 37: It is done! Queen Citronella resides in her own palace, while the rest of the plebs squat together in the communal living area. I have reorganised and moved my 4x4, mounting the carbon filter and duct fan properly in the center. Setup a 2 x 2 with a 300w LED and put the lights for both tents on the same timer (for now). I will measure and photograph Her Majesty a little later, including photos of her new home. Day 37: Added media. Height: 31cm. Fertigated 2l. Day 37.5: Alright she is really stretching fast, she grew almost 5cm in a little over 30 hours, A thought has just occurred to me; I could, if I chose to, put the Queen on a flower cycle at this point. Now I did want to do a full grow of clones, however we're talking something like another 2 weeks of veg then 2 weeks for cuttings to root, then I'd want to veg them for a few more weeks, maybe 2, 3 or 4? So that's 6-10 weeks before I start flowering. Then at least ten weeks of flowering, A week to dry, and at least a fortnight to cure. We're talking 20-25 weeks before I get to smoke it, that's six months! I probably wont be able to grow in the summer due to the heat. Now I already have the one cutting which I am hoping will root soon, which I can take forward, but I also have two more seeds. So, regretfully, I think I will change my plans. I will flower queen Citronella, starting on day 43. I still intend to do a full tent of Super Lemon Haze clones, but I think I will postpone that adventure until September. So this is now the final week or final five days of veg, she will spend the bulk of her last week of veg under a different light. We wont get much data on vegging (unless there is a significant change this week) but it'll be a nice trial run flowering with an LED light for the first time. Exciting! I am still waiting for the Epislon F1 seeds from RQS. I set their pot up today, inoculated, fed, and sowed some Dark Opal (Purple) Greek Basil and a liberal sprinkling of chamomile. I am going to germinate all five seeds in jiffy pellets and then put them all in the same 40l Day 38: I have realised Her Majesty was too tall to flower in this little tent so I snapped her neck a bit. I installed a photometer app yesterday and discovered I was blasting Citronella with 75 DLI so I raised to light up until canopy level was 40 DLI. The LED is pretty good. The HPS Dual Spectrum bulb in the main tent must be on its last legs as output was around 40 DLI for optimally positioned plants and 30 least optionally positioned. I could do to buy a new bulb. Identical replacement is about fifteen bucks, best one is about fifty. For that I could get another one of those LEDs which seems like better value. At the moment though I really need the heat. So I am thinking identical replacement. 4 days to flower cycle! Day 38.5: Replaced crappy old Dutch barn reflector with a much nicer angel wing model. Installed a significantly larger carbon filter into the main tent which has significantly increased air flow. The main tent vents into the bottom of Queen Citronella's tent, and from there and unfiltered duct fan in the far top corner exhausts it out. The exhaust pipe goes up the chimney. Why have I reorganised and moved the tents again so soon is because I was wasting power heating the little tent with the LED light, but the main tent has excess heat. Well this setup is working a treat. Citronella is sitting in a balmy 23-24 degree wind tunnel. Check out the little video of the changes. Day 39: I think her majesty likes her new quarters. It's going to be weird seeing her square in a few more days. We are 2 days into a "dry spell" I'm simulating for all my plants. Day 40: Dry spell ended. Fertigated 6l. Day 41: Fertigated 3l. Citronella's penultimate day of veg, she is going 12/12 from lights out after next. Photos taken 10:00 9/2/23. Current lights out is Citronella's last 6 hour night! Day 42: Start: Have performed pre-flower LST, HST, and defoliation. 24 hours to flower cycle. Day 42: End: photographed immediately before first 12h night. End of week summary: Huge week for Citronella. I think this LED light is pretty good. Change of plans regarding the grow and preparing her for flower. Let's see how she does.

Nutrient

TUESDAY 9/3: She's slow, but steadily putting on the pistils. Looks happy...👍 WEDNESDAY: I fed her about a half-gallon of water with bembe, big bloom, tiger bloom, beastie bloomz, armor si, and terpinator. I was at the site for several hours today, so I was able to move her into direct sunshine for an extra couple hours.😎 THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY: I was sick as a dog . 2-day stomach virus, followed by an acute pancreatitis attack... 😷 MONDAY: I gave her about a half-gallon of aquarium water with some bembe, beastie bloomz, and tiger bloom. I ordered a little grow light that should arrive tomorrow. It just pulls 210w at the wall, but is 3500k with a lot of extra 660nm diodes and gets pretty good PPFD numbers. I'm gonna finish her in my closet as close to that new light as I can..along with maybe 2 of my shortest stealthy outdoor hybrid girls...maybe increasing the PAR a bunch will hurry them the f!#$k up..

Sie wächst 😁 Die Drähte hab ich auch noch mal angezogen damit sie schön in die Breite geht. Jetzt bin ich am überlegen ob ich mir noch ein Netzt spanne. Aber da hab ich mich noch nicht entschieden mal sehen.

waiting for results

Without much to declare, organic runoff from the pots was at 200ppm, no nutrients were added in the last week, I increased air circulation, and harvested these plants on day 63 of flowering. I feel that if I wanted I could have left them longer, but one bud from one plant got infected with spider mites and I preferred to harvest everything to avoid infecting the others.

Just water

Ya habiendo comenzado el diario, la calidad del vídeo es la mejor posible, con un móvil de calidad media/baja. Terminada su 5a semana de floración, han formado unas puntas increíbles, ahora empezarán a engordarlas. También empiezan a soltar bastante resina.

This was the final week for both plants. The Northern Lights showed less resin production and seemed to have stalled in development, so I decided not to wait any longer. The pistils had mostly turned orange/brown, and visually it didn’t look like the buds were going to bulk up much more. For the last days, I only gave CalMag and plain water adjusted to pH 6.3

So switched from 24 hour light to 18 this week which was about day 14 after last seed spread his wings also potted up from seed cups to 1.5l pots on same day, used plenty of great white shark when transplanting, roots fully stocked n crisp white, growth seems to have continued as normal. fast!! So I had to wash the coco from ecothrive after filling each new pot I applied a flush feed at 450ppm! run off was 1500ppm not happy as I thought this product was to be used strait from the bag washed n buffered. This is what I believe stitched me up in the beginning i should of checked before using it and not assume it’s all good because you’ve bought a premium product Coco wash washed with ph’ed water 6.0 until ppm was under 50 then used 10 litre of AN’s cal mag at 2ml per litre half was flushed through left for 30 min the other half was flushed though again this was hopefully to buffer the coco in case it wasn’t as this coco is not what it says on the tin so far then flushed 10 litres of just a and b at 350 ppm run off was around 400ppm I then transplanted All seems well and happy Open to others opinions and experience’s with echthrives coco with charge I believe Iv done the right thing because I’m sure those bad leaves are from the Unflushed coco I used in the beginning Friday update Feed was every other day this week to allow the pots a little time to dry out before the next feed hoping to get those roots searching the pot I’ll mention after I transplanted and watered in with feed I placed the pots on a large bath towel for a few hours to draw some of the saturation out it left the pot much lighter then after they where left to drain on there on accord again hoping for root exploration On Fridays feed I checked the bottom of the pot to see if much had made it down there, I wasn’t really expecting to see anything so soon but every pot had at least a few big old roots poking out and EC 7 was pushing them out am pretty stoked with these results All in all I think the great white shark along with AN’s piranha, tarantula and voodoo juice Are doing a smashing job of building root stock I can’t wait to transplant again and get a good look in!! Also hoping my little efforts to keep the pots a little dryer from the norm are helping stimulate root production along side the additives Fridays feed was up to 2ml per litre of voodoo piranha and tarantula 👊

Won't be a big harvest from this girl, although the buds are fattening up nicely. Will stop adding PK in the next few days before getting ready to flush in the next couple of weeks. This plant is on the left of the timelapse video.

It's getting cold don't know how good she will hold up

Difficult strain to grow if you can’t check some parameters... colors, smells, Frost is unbelievable Her sister go surely better and need more weeks to go Waiting for revenge against pH !!

Start of week 7... third week of flowering, the ladies are dangerously big... and i got some issues with the distance to the Optic 1 XL, but this strain are not suffering major isues being almost touching the ligth! Already getting small and fluffy buds and growing bigger day by day! I´ve stopped feeding veg nutrients but kept Bloom nutrients... the leafs gradually are fallen under the cannopy but i´m think i´m gonna trim a bit the ladies!

63 dienos!!! Mergaitės būklė tikrai pagerėjo :) šią savaitę įjungiau mergaitės papildomą šoninį apšvietimą, tai pirmas kartas su tokia įranga :) pamatysime, kas iš to gausis :) sėkmės visiems .

I’ll update once dry0
