Week 5: Preflower Transition & Canopy Management Update: June 21, 2025 (Day 38) The plants have officially entered preflower although it doesn't look very spectacular. But this will surely change my guys. Significant LST efforts continue to maintain an even canopy - all shoots are systematically positioned around the pots and secured with electrical wire for optimal light exposure. Strain Progress: Forbidden Runtz Maintains its dominant position as the largest plant. Shows the most advanced preflower development with numerous white pistils emerging. Its vigorous growth pattern suggests exceptional genetic expression compared to the others. Green Crack Remains the smallest plant with delayed preflower signs. However, its recent growth acceleration is notable. Given its later transition into preflower, it may still achieve substantial size. The anticipated mango aroma from previous grows remains a key point of interest. Bruce Banner Exhibiting impressive vertical stretch. All new growth has been immediately trained horizontally to promote additional cola development. Its reputation for large size keeps expectations high regarding its potential to rival Forbidden Runtz. Environmental Management: - Greenhouse temperatures monitored daily - Plants moved outside when temperatures exceed 30°C - Continued pest vigilance in enclosed environment Next Phase Focus: 1. Maintain LST adjustments as stems thicken 2. Monitor early bud development Thanks for checking in guys and hope you enjoy my dairy. Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Started some LST this week. Keeping it pretty simple did a simple runoff test and everything came in range so going to keep nutes the same, drink rate has almost doubled since last week, fully saturating pots everything 12 hours or so. Probably going to do a deep clean of tent before get heavy into flowering and I’ll add some more pictures as I go with LST.

Melon Gum is starting to form her cola sites. Everything is looking good. I will be doing a solution change soon.

Lightly defoliated her for better air circulation and removed a few bud sites below ScrOG net that will never make it to the top. New light fixture has been added this week; Mars hydro FC3000, this is the EVO version with the latest Samsung chips. Overkill or killing it? We will see.

Excellent quality and quantity with this harvest! Will look to to control the stretching phase of flowering next grow.

Day 84-91 (Day 3F-10F) (Day 6F) I’m giving a final foliar spray of Velokelp tonight before I start to see buds develop. Forgot to water today as I didn’t have any RO and bbb#1 was slumped and droopy. I decided to just water everything with tap water. I’ve been doing quite a bit of research on using city tap water with organics and it shouldn’t disturb the microbiology very much at all. And it will actually help smokability and ash color because of the extra CaCO3 in it. The higher 7.8 pH will also lockout heavy metals like aluminum as well. (Day 7F) Plants look just fine and the pH fluctuation didn’t make any difference at all. I’m going to discontinue the use of RO water for the rest of my run and all subsequent runs. (Day 8F) I’m defoliating small amounts of leaves and sucker branches but this thing is out of control. Every 12-18 hours I see noticeable growth. I want to do a heavy strip around day 21. Starting to see budlets and pistil clumps form! These plants don’t seem like huge stretchers but I’m still anticipating quite a jump in the next few weeks. (Day 10F) Everything is looking just perfect. I’m surprised how fast these 10 gallon pots are drying out now. They go from soaked to light and airy within a few days. Hopefully I can make it the next 2 weeks without seeing any N or Mg deficiencies.

Did literally nothing. The rain did the watering for me. Just spraying some Neem to prevent damage from . These little bastards are my one and only problem at the time.

End of Week 5. Either over watered or not enough CalMag in Week 4. Lower leaves yellowed and looks like growth stunt in 4. Increased CM, looks like coming back.

Day 1: Auto flowers are getting some nice crystal. Purple Kush smells nice, Pink Kush smells like wet veg. The root mass on Purple Kush is huge! The photos were defoliated, and finally both showing flowers. pH is 6 Day 3:. Finally got to LST Red Purps, she really needed it. I pulled some of the Purple Maroc branches and tried defoliating, but it's thick in there. The previous LST still has a lot of branches bent, but a lot of new growth has popped up. I wonder if it's because I broke the main collar last week. I have to find more weights to tie down the last few branches. Day 7: Purple Kush wreaks of grape bubble gum. Pink Kush wreaks of gas.

They will all be ready at different times so that'll make harvest easy. Orion is finishing up for harvest and smells like sweet candy/berry same with Quick one. They all have distinct smells and are beautiful. Will be chopping the two by next week. I'm impressed how all these girls strived through storms, extreme heat, and a newbie grower. (Did tons of research)

Tutto procede alla grande e le ragazze di Anesia stanno allungando verso la loro forma finale…Calypso Sun Rock alla fine si è stabilizzata e al posto di crescere in altezza, ha dato priorità ai rami laterali prendendo la classica forma del pino 🌲 con foglie non troppo larghe in confronto a The Sin e White Runtz che hanno foglie più grosse e spesse più da Indica predominante…la prossima volta iniziamo ad aumentare la Dose di Canna Terra Flores con una bella dose di PK e andiamo verso il fiore appiccicoso e gelido ❄️😀📸📹🚀

Week 7 flower - buds are fattening this week and smell is very strong. Two distinct phenos. I suspect a bit of nutrient burn so dialed back ec to 2.1-2.2.

Good growth on the wedding glue , not quite ready to be tied down but she’s next on the list prolly at the end of the week . She was transplanted again into her forever home looking to double her size again the coming week . Life’s good .

This plant was my first harvest of inhouse genetics. Although she produced some seeds at end of life, I couldn't be much happier.

I use all 3 General hydroponic nutrients and they are two different pot sizes the Moby Dick is in 30 liter and the blue amnesia is in 18 liters has a very strong odor and blue amnesia is maturing at a faster rate then the Moby Dick. a scrog net is being used in order to give support to the upcoming buds. I am also actually on week 4 I just made a mistake calculating the week. this is my first grow ever. also I'm not sure if using the scroll net it's a good idea for support rather than tying those branches up . I am watering every two days feeding nutes every single time at 900 to 1000 PPM ph at 6.2 the plans have not show any signs of stress but I am worried if it is too much nutrients the plant seems to grow very fast after every watering and seems to be loving it. the blue Amnesia XXL Auto it's growing in soil with 30% Coco and the Moby Dick XXL auto it's growing in hydroponic soil. the seeds were germinated on jiffy's and 100% germination rate plus the genetics seems to me very resilient to heat and everything else including lots of nutrients. the moby Dick XXL auto are the two in the front closest to the camera the two farthest to the back of the tent are the two blue amnesiaXXL auto. today day 31 i did some pruning actually lots of pruning hopefully don't cause stress to the plants or even worse cause them not to bud that nicely regardless the scrog net seems to be working just fine helping them access more light and making it easy for cutting leaves that are no longer needed. 32 yesterday after watering and sleeping today they have show no signs of stress in fact they starting to stretch in the buds that we're not getting sufficient light have start to grow also yesterday from the 16 liters I prepare instead of 3 ml of grow formula I add 6 1/2 to compensate for stress and the need of healing and having new grow stretch. also temperature has dropped dramatically outside making my house cold down from 24 degrees C to 19° at night internal temperature is remaining the same from 30 to 26 C. Day 33 I have been raising the scrog net every day and the light everyday this plant is growing very fast I also notice that where the fan is hitting all the time that plant is bigger I have been moving the fan to other sections of the grow tent to see if any reaction happens and it looks like it makes the plant grow faster . I will not be moving the Scrog net any higher Rather I will introduce another one once they require more support . Day34 notice some of the top leaves are showing a curving down like over-watering without actually over water I think they're showing signs of too much nitrogen .for the next water session I will hold back on nitrogen until I see signs of a fully recovering meaning leafs pointing up. thank you for reading have a happy grow.
