Week 14, day 99, the second week of flowering has started, and it shows on the plant. It looks like Cookies Gelato #1 has started flowering before #2 and #2 started before #3. Look at the photos from above, I cannot wait to see when flowers will be enormous and lots of them!! Of course there is no weed smell yet but the plants have a wonderful smell of mint and lime. I'm also still trying to LST the plants even if they are mature, just to get a bit more light. Approximately two more months and I'll be ready to harvest, I think the yield will be terrific. Have a good one everybody :)

Put a lot of love into this grow. She grew for 4 months from seeds to harvest. About 5 weeks and 56 days of flower. Overall great strain to grow and great site @growdiaries for giving the platform and help from other growers. I’ve learned so much about growing and especially about this strain.

Beginning of week 7 in flower, only two more weeks left if they ripen like they did last time. Plants are beginning to smell, develop triches and fattening up. They're not going to get any taller but compared to my first grow they're double in size. It's getting really intense. I'm in there every day checking humidity (on the no defol side) and I'm starting to struggle keeping up with the feed. During lights off I've found the plants eat the most food. I topped up the res, added 25% more PK. I try to keep the plants at 700 ppm and in the space of four hours it dropped to 600 ppm (towards the end of lights off). I stopped directly loading with Calcium Nitrate and instead used a regular calmag. I'm about to go overboard with Calcium Nitrate again and bump the ppm up to 1k. Will see how far the ppm drops the next day. 17/02/20 Update: The plants are beginning to smell a lot more, it has that kind of fermenting pungent smell from a red paw paw but applied to a mango. Very sweet, it literally smells like I'm growing some kind of tropical fruit. Still struggling with the feed, I added close to 40g of calcium nitrate and the plants still dropped the ppm lower than when I boosted it. I find it really frustrating that Dual Fuel only sell as a pair. Part 2 is amazing for late flower. Potassium sulphate and Magnesium sulphate, it's the perfect PK boost and I don't know anyone other nutrient like it. The other PK boosters always have too much P. 18/02/20 Update: Still battling my plants and the efforts to keep up with them is still frustrating me. Ran out of potassium Sulphate and bought Bio Diesel Rhino K 0-0-15 as a substitute, talk about expensive but I was desperate. 19/02/20 Update: Uploaded how I pump calcium into my plants this late into flower. They eat more than what I showed daily. That's 100+ ppm of Ca everyday! I don't know how much pectin this plant has now but the Brix would have to be through the roof compared to my first grow. 20/02/20 Update: finally got the feed right for a twelve hour period. I'm using two times the amount of K any bloom booster recommends and I'm probably using ten times the amount of calcium easily. I'm also going to feed as minimal N from now on, I'd cut it out completely if I could but I rely on Micros for the macro nutrients. Spent $65 on that bottle of potash and I used a third of a bottle for one nutrient change, think I'll stick to using powered water soluble potassium sulfate. My main concern is that I won't be providing enough iron with the little Micro I'm giving it. Going to throw a couple of rustry nails into the res. I'm about to do a top up...dropping the Micro super low, putting minimal part 2 in. Along with all the fulvics, humics, kelp and other acids my ppm only sits at 244. Which gives me plenty of room to load up on calcium. Top up the mag cause what was in the part 2 wasn't enough then load K. 21/02/20 Update: The plants finally stalled and took a breather yesterday. Didn't upload any photos cause it looked the same as the day before. By the end of the evening it looked like the explosive growth started back up again and the photos from today will show it. The ppm was creeping up not down this time...finally over feeding them. Dropped the extra loading of calcium and potassium to regular bloom phase levels and bumped the chelators up instead. Update 22/02/20: plants aren't eating what they were. Ppm is remaining stable at 800. I won't dilute the res just yet. Still holding off to see if it goes up again. If it goes down I'll refeed the same formula as last time that has reduced calcium and potassium.

This is my second week of 1/4 strength nutes(ff schedule)plants are loving it. Do you think I’m safe to go 2 times weekly?

Just water

17/04: - Started LST. - My plan is to wait until the plant outgrows the top tie and start tying the main cola around the pot, counter clockwise. 19/04: - Adjusted LST and tucked some leaves. I'm trying to give the new growth as much exposure to light as possible. 20/04: - 420 is here and the plant is looking fantastic. I'm leaving the LST ties as they are for now. 21/04: - Tensed the main tie a bit more and I might settle for this instead of going with the round shape I had in mind. - I'm tying some leaves so they won't block the new growth. Learned this reading other people's Q&As - Keeping leaves to a safe distance from the soil so they are not damaged by fertilizers.

I harvested at 30% amber trics..it snuck up on me fast, I assumed she was an 8 week strain at minimum but I was wrong..i don't take wet weight of buds so I'll update final weight in approx 10 days, happy growing!

10 November 2020 SunSet-Sherbet Well this week is just another week by now, this lady has been threading through the scrog throughout the week and I believe this lady has finished here stretching and is in full on flowering mode now. Normally a plant stretches the first few weeks into flower to stop the growth and use the nutrients it’s getting now is used to store in the nugs and not the growth anymore. Each cola of each branch has reached the scrog net and has a decent amount of light exposure due to the fact that I only has one light for 2 plants and the spread of the light isn’t the best. Started making actual looking hairy heads with the on them 😁 the leaf spread is just getting a lot. Do-Si-Wine This plant is doing splendid due to fact that the long and stretchy-ness of these branches has reached the scrog net above and beyond which makes it a lot easier to thread through the scrog and to get as much light exposure as possible for more thicker nugs 🤓 The heads on this lady has started making THC 😁 the nugs are starting slowly to turn white which is very cool, because the plant is a dark green with WHITE nugs. One branched has snapped which is quiet delicate and grows above the rest if the canopy and causes shadow from on the bottom branches.

I've been taking off all the lower shoots coming off the main stems. I don't want to lose sight of the main colas I'm focusing on. Once we're in flower I'll start leaving more of the side branches, at this stage none will reach the light by the end of flower. I'd rather do the hard pruning now before the switch. I'm going to keep them in veg for another week. The mainline structure is working really well.

Done a load of defoliation this week. Buds are looking strong. Im thinking just another week or 2 before we harvest.

49 days from planting seed. All 4 plants are now flowering The runt has grown a little this week and is now flowering, I am starting to think that it could be a different strain? look at the difference in appearance compared to the others. It is now 17 inch. looks more like an indica strain? The other three are looking good, 2 measure at 30 inch and the third is slightly behind at just under 26 inch. All three look healthy. lots of flowers appearing. No changes to my setup this week other than moving my light up a few inches, starting to run out of head room in my short tent, will have to consider moving the fan and filter outside my tent if they get any taller. No rhizotonic in my reservoir now but I have increased my A & B to 3ml per litre.

Hey there, green-thumbed enthusiasts! It’s time for our weekly check-in on our fabulous P.C.R.s as they strut their stuff through the third week of flowering. Get ready to be blown away by their stunning transformation! What a week it’s been! At the end of the week, our P.C.R.s underwent a much-needed mass defoliation, and let me tell you, it was a sight to behold! With precision and care, we removed those excess leaves, opening up the canopy and allowing those beautiful buds to shine. The result? Our plants are now sporting some seriously sexy, long legs, and they’re looking more fabulous than ever! After the defoliation, our P.C.R.s are standing tall and proud, showing off their long, luscious legs like supermodels on the runway. It’s like they’re saying, “Look at us, we’re ready for our close-up!” And let me tell you, they’re stealing the show with their grace and elegance. Let’s not forget about our clone babies—they’re thriving like never before! We checked in on them this week and were greeted with the sight of the longest and whitest roots we’ve ever seen. It’s like they’re reaching out for the stars, eager to join their big sisters in the grow room. We gave them a boost with K Boost in the water, along with a dose of Micor Mix drip at 1 gram per liter, ensuring they have everything they need to flourish. Defoliation isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about optimizing growth and maximizing yields. By removing those excess leaves, we’re allowing more light and airflow to reach the lower buds, ensuring they develop into big, beautiful colas. It’s like giving our plants a makeover, and they’re absolutely loving it! In Conclusion Week 3 of flowering has been a whirlwind of excitement and transformation! Our P.C.R.s have undergone a stunning metamorphosis, shedding those excess leaves and revealing their true beauty. With their long legs and radiant blooms, they’re ready to take on the world—and we couldn’t be prouder! A huge shout out to @aptusholland for their amazing products that keep our plants thriving through every stage of growth. And to the incredible community at Grow Diaries and all our followers, your support and encouragement mean the world to us. Let’s continue to grow together and spread the love of gardening!

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 08/11/2019 - Showing early flower development? 09/11/2019 - Gave her 0.500 ml plain water PH 6.5, she's starting to need more water and also due to 30c temps. She's also showing light green around the leafs maybe slight magnesium deficiency. 10/11/2019 - Yellow leafs showing up really fast so I 'flushed' the medium with 1l of 6.4 PH plain water, watered until some run off start to showing, change the watering plan again, now I only water when the pot feels light and dry at the bottom. 13/11/2019 - Pot was really light and dry at the bottom so I gave her 1.5l of water with 0,75ml of Grow, 1,5ml of Bloom and 0.75ml of Max BioBizz PH 6.5 until some runoff started to appear I think was too much again : also added a work-supplement led strip light. 14/11/2019 - Leaves looking pale raise the light to 45cm instead of the recommended by manufacture 25-40cm.

July 30, - Last week of Veg from the look of the plant, its heading into flower - plant has had its 1st meal w/ Veg nutes reduced, 2nd meal w/ Bloom nutes introduced. - Next meal posted above. 31st, - branch-bending and some fresh compost on the plant base. (= tv dinner for a couple weeks) Aug 1 - started the day with some LST and the top of this plant is now pretty darn wide and level. Yesterdays bending was well timed. After only 2 LST sessions on the Canopy, its a different more receptive plant heading into Flower - last transition meal fed; 3 gallons. Next meal, its bloom nutes from here on out Aug 2nd - when gentle-bending becomes kinky… the plant looked great after the LST. This morning I saw a great opportunity and it involved More aggressive tactics and saw some more aggressive kinking & super-cropping. - plant had a nice “South-facing” slope. Aug 3 - woke up to a beautiful plant, with a legitimate level canopy. Bring on the Blossoms, Jack is down to 38” again Got rid of the last Sucker in the grow. No touch now lol, what you see is what you get Aug 4 - next meal posted above… - clipped the lower suckers on ea Cola branch to help keep the business on the end
