๐Ÿ†The First Grow Cup Diary๐Ÿ† _____๐Ÿ“… Week 18 | ๐Ÿ“… Day 121 - 127 | 10.05 - 16.05 ______ last Days ๐Ÿ”ธEverything looks great so far, I'm very happy with the look of the plants, they could have been a bit thicker buds, but I can't complain about the lights hehe.They all smell about the same but all look different in terms of bud shape. I'm curious to see how they will taste. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ”ธthe last two times she was watered she only got tap water, I think for Runtz#3 it was too dry and too much light in the end, I haven't really checked and measured it for the last 2 weeks. I also let them dry out almost completely the last 2 times, Runtz 1 and 2 coped better. Doesn't look nice, of course, but shouldn't have any negative effects. ๐Ÿ”ธI had invited friends for trimming and still had to take pictures...well they weren't helpful in any case haha :D:D But they did an excellent job with the trimming and help a lot ๐Ÿ˜‡ ๐Ÿ”ธHarvest is complete and I will update my harvest report as soon as everything is dry __________________________________________________________________ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐Ÿ”†= 25-26ยฐ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐ŸŒœ= 18-19ยฐ ๐Ÿ’จ Hum. = 50-55% ๐Ÿ”ฆ PPFD = 1000 umol 12/12 ๐Ÿ”ฆโŒšDLI = ~43 ___________________________________________________________________ Equipment: flowering ๐Ÿ’ก2 x 200 Watt Cosmos LED ๐Ÿ’ก2 x Glow80 Spider-Farmer (4x40Watt) ๐Ÿ’ก1 x SF-600 Spider-Farmer ๐Ÿ’จ 3 x Oscillating Clip Ventilator running 24/7 โ›บ120 x 120 x 200 Tent (4 x 4 x 8) ๐Ÿฏ 18 liter pots

The plant did grow big and fat did not expect that. She have massive buds from top to bottom and she is now ready to be harvested and it should be a pleasure to trim the buds.

She's starting to chunk up a bit and sugar leaves are appearing! New growth is not showing the deficiency as some of the older leaves did which I'm very happy about! Thanks to the community for the helpful hints! Took of some of fan leaves that were blocking light from the lower bud sites and a few lower ones that were blocking airflow/not getting any light. I also switched over to CaliMAGic.

Day 77 - Look at this plant! Just look at it! The trichomes on her are simply amazing. I've never seen anything like it in my tent before. View the close up photos at high res and you can see the trichomes clearly. They're EVERYWHERE!!!! She is ridiculously sticky, and when you touch her the smell is pure grapefruit. Citrus but sour. ๐Ÿ˜ I would love to do a lab test on this strain but geographically I cannot..... I'm estimating well over 20% THC....

June 29: watered with compost tea. Bacteria in these teas seem to help hold the water and I donโ€™t need to water this too often or too much. Did a foliar spray of potassium silicate and soluble seaweed extract. Fast growth phase happening now. June 30: forecast for next week is hot and the week after is a bit hotter. Having made it through the cold spring, the plants should get a lot bigger over the next couple weeks. July 1: nice fast growth now ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ July 4: did foliar spray of Extreme Blend in the morning. July 5: sheโ€™s doing great with strong vegetative growth. After the last round of topping the fan leaves got quite a bit bigger and the growth tips have been a bit slower to start growing than on my other photoperiod. Looking nice and green and growing fast. Waiting a few more days before starting another scrog layer. She has grown 7 inches this week. I love the โ€œinch a dayโ€ stage. ๐Ÿ‘ #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds

So this round I just lollipopped and didnโ€™t strip the top at all, with better veg next round itโ€™ll work better but Iโ€™m having issues with some plants not quite trellised how Iโ€™d like. Everything smells great, BCS,BD and WM are getting fat and PKB is frosty and tight. Watering is more of a chore than Iโ€™d like I think Iโ€™m just going to use some 5s for the next round . Thanks for following along I hope your buds are fat and frosty.

This week was pretty standard, I found out with the help of a friend the amount of magnesium I was feeding my plants was way to much. about 4x as much as they should have had. so they will no longer be getting any extra added magnesium. I read that it can stunt plant growth in excess but I don't know if that happened here, Plucked a few leaves off that where blocking other bid sites and removed some in the middle to help airflow. I was thinking about purchasing a 2nd fan for the tent but the ones I want are out of stock so I feel its best to use a regular none tent fan and just rig it up to a tent pole for now. Starting to see more frost on the sugar leaves and some good bud development on this one. The sister Maltezerz is also getting nice buds but not as nice as Blue Cindy. Maybe in time they will even out or switch sides. Will monitor its length from the SCROG net vs soil as its easier to measure. 33cm from SCROG net to base of plant 15cm from SCROG net to tip of plant Total 48cm for week four of flower. +2cm from Last Week "first week it has stretched more in the single week vs the Maltezerz" The clones are doing well considering I have ignored them mostly. Some yellowing in the leaves but nothing to worry about just yet. Have not lost a single clone in this project. I'm impressed with my self for that. Could also be this strain is really easy to clone as well.

Day 58, 11th of November 2020: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so they receive 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when they will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week.... Wao. Well, all good hopefully they will stop growing soon but the strech is not that much thanks for the trainings such as topping and LST.... Pistils are started appearing so they she the sex I think one more week to go and they will settle down concentrating on bud development. What to say every 2nd day is fertilization with the mix and ratio above now we are waiting. Anything else? Well just look atbthe pictures and decide what you think. I am pretty sure they look cool LOL. This Gleato Zamnesia is very promising I really like the smell already she is nice but all of them I mean I am in love with all so. Kalinia Asia is nice and I am so excited for the Sweed Seeds ones the red girls OMG :)

34 Days have passed. The colors are fading for some reason but i dont really care, theres obviously room for improvement on this grow. Im just gonna let it go as far as i can and hopefuly the plants will mature before they die off. It may have been because of over watering, thats my best bet so i will not water until they show small signs of underwatering, just so i can make sure. Other than that, the buds are looking good and the smell is incredible. ---1st time growing with FLO - Florian Living Organics.--- They claim that there is no need to pH when watering and that their living fertilizer is the only thing that i will need throughout the whole grow so i only need to mix with soil and just water with plain water. If this stuff works then it can simplify my future grows ALOT! Happy growing. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Overall, this grow took care of itself, other than the watering and feeding. She grew like a damn tree and didnโ€™t know if she would ever stop stretching but finally did at around 32โ€. She took very well to LST and this was definitely the biggest auto that Iโ€™ve grown to date. All the buds are as solid as a rock, even most of the lower stuff. There were some fluffy buds in there but will end up using that with the trim and leaves to make edibles. All in all, I ended up with 665 grams of wet bud and looking forward to seeing what the final results will be. Iโ€™ll update in a week or so with finally weight and a smoke report.

Did this lady in a shared DWC bucket. Great auto yield. No herming and beautiful red buds. Gave the floraflex lineup from veg to bloom. Had some issues with leaves burning up close to the lighting but the buds are a beautiful color and smell like a nice piney gas. Cannot say anything but great things with this plant! Very happy and results are great.
