6/15. Glad I listened to my intuition and held off watering. IT Rained andctheb again last night. Plants seem to be doingvreal well. Slight burn on lower leaves where it was before from being in the garage and I found on spot that LOOKED like it could've been caused by a pillar but it's right on a burn. I sefoliated one leaf. This is minor stuff. Next watering I'll be adding silica. I'm not giving nutes until the plants tell the need them. The 3 gallon ones may receive nutes first as they'll run out. I'll update as I progress. Went back over at 8:30. It's just overcast with showers. Plants seemed to like it. They all look good. Noticed a chunk out of a leaf and a POSSIBLE pillar spot. I'm going to have to get the BT out and and give the girls an application. I'm waiting until they settle in a bit more though. I need to start LST as well AND the light dep. Unfortunately "life" has made things difficult. I'll get back over there today though and I'll start the light dep. Kinda makes me wonder though. The 1pth planet I wanted to light deo is tge same size as the others in the much bigger containers. The thought came that maybe I should just hold on to them as extras in case something happens. I also am going to start silica next watering but it will be a few weeks before any nutes are given. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT FIVE AND TOOK ACSHOT TON OF PICTURES. IM TRYING TO UOLOAD NOW. THINGS ARE POPPING OFF AND IM GETTING A NICE SWEET SKUNKY ODOR. WHILE I WASCTHERE WE GOT A QUICK SHOWER. DIDNT LAST MORE THAN TEN MINUTES BUT IT RAINED HARD. I FOUND A TEMPORARY SPOT TO LIGHT DEP THE TWO PURPLE PUNCH AND THE ONE TENTH PLANET. I DONT SEE ANY LIGHT LEALS AND ITS SURE AS HELL DARKER THAN IT IS AT NIGHT. I'LL SEE HOW IT GOES LEQVING THE COVER ON ALL NIGHT. IF IT DOESNT WORK I MAY JEED TO ADD A FAN OR CHANCECTHE SPACE. I ALMOST DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS AS THE 10TH PLANET IS KEEPING PACE WITH ITS SISTERS, DESPITE THE SMALLER POT. OH WELL I WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT AND I DONT WANT MY CAGE OVER CROWDED. I'M LOOKONG TO DO A 6:30 TO 6:30 SCHEDULE. 6/16 First night of light dep for the three little ones. I won't be able to call them that soon. I'm currently trying to upload a video. My grow buddy mentioned the droopiness of a couple of my plants in this video and how I hadn't been watering. This kinda scared me so I ran over and checked the too few inches on the two that had a little droop and came out dry. I had some water already phed ready to go (I'm hoping that the ph doesn't change if it's stored a day or two) and used the gallon to moisten the dry topsoil. Looking back over my diary we have had nothing but rain. I then tried the "lift the pot method" and came to the conclusion that these bags were indeed still holding moisture. I assumed they would be considering the thunderstorms we've had. I held off on fullt watering because the weather said the next dry day is going to be Monday. Today is Friday so thats two solid days of rain. Three if you count today through the night. I concentrated my watering of the one gallon on the couple plants that appeared to droop. If it doesn't rain like they say it will I will need to water. I need to set up a decent watering schedule but I need it to hold off raining long enough to do so. UPDATE: I WENT BACK OVER AND PUT THE 3 GALS IN FOR BED AND CHECKED OUT THE REST OF THE GARDEN. I WATERED THE 3 GAL GIRLS A LITTLE MORE SINCE THEY WONT BE OUTSIDE. THE BIT OF WATER I GAVE SEEMED TO HELP LIFT SOME OF THE GIRLS. AT LEAST I THINK IT DID. THE RAIN SHOULDVE COME ALREADY. I WOULDVE WATERED MORE HAD THE BAGS NOT BEEN SO HEAVY. 6/17 Rained all night which is good. Brought the three transplants out but left them under the overhang so they. Dont get soaked. So far light depoing is going good. Well its only been two nights but we'll see. I'll update as I go. Not feeling well today. Went back over and checked on the plants and did a video. Probably won't get uploaded until tomorrow. I'm giving it a shot. It's raining in good shape. Plants looked fine when I was there. I need to get my supports and my trellis in place. Video won't upload. No suprise. I'll get it tomorrow. 6/18 Uploaded videos if they fuck up from me editing I'm gonna be pissed. Anyway it's still pouring with high winds. I added a couple supports where it looked like it needed it. I need to put my trellis up. I've been able to keep up with the light dep and those plants haven't been used and abused. They stay in the building facing the sun when the weather is this bad. I think they're looking great. I may start a new diary just for them. Sun came out around four. Trying to upload a couple videos but doesn't look like it's going to happen. Tucked the three little ones in at six. It had stopped raining and the wind died down some. If adverse conditions create good plants then I'm on the way to a great harvest. Minor bleaching and burns on a few lower fan leaves and some wrinkling on some from wind burn other than that plants seem to be acclimated. Did a video but will have to wait until tomorrow to upload 6/19 It's not raining! We got four inches this past storm lol. Having the bags raised on pollens I believe has greatly helped. As did the high winds that help dry the soil in the bag. Had to add a few temporary supports. Light dep is going good. Adjusted amd found a better spot. I'm considering getting "pool noodles" or some other thing like a Hulu hoops or pvc pipe and making either a frame on the roof for the entire cage or on top of each individual plants posts so I could roll clear plastic over it when it rains. I'm thinking about later on in the fall when this could really help. I found a roll of plastic. Also thought about putting that up on the back wall but I didn't. What I'm doing right now is working. I just need to keep up with it. I also need a solid watering schedule to stick too. It's hard when each plants needs are different. Oh well. I'm just happy to be growing again. I pray to the cannabis gods and the Lord above himself that I'm not plagued with the problems of last year. 6/20. I'm sick as fuck but I got the little girls out in the sun. Light dep is going good. Plants look great. I'll update when I feel better and if I do anything. Still feel like shit. Luckily I looked up just in time to get to the grow and put the little ones to bed. They were thirsty (especially the bushy 10th planet so I gave them about 3/4 of a gallon of water. Got lots of run off from 10th planet. Didn't notice as much from the others but I was hurrying. I'll upload later. Still sick. 6/21 Plants seem to be doing great. I removed some lower growth on a few just to see how they respond. I'm going to do some defoliation down low and I want to see how the plants respond. I'm planning my first full watering Thursday as we have a real good stretch of weather after that. Grow bags are still heavy as hell so they have sufficient water. I'll be adding silica nextcl watering. Not time for nutes but I think it would be okay to start the silica and in another week I might start small doses of nutes. The light dep on the little girls is go8ng great! It's cool I'll get to sample some of these strains before fall. I'll update after I do something. Tucked the girls in at 6. I might need to think about transplanting that 10th planet in the 3 gallon. I watered until runoff yesterday and it's light as hell today. Plus I fimked it and it's bushy as hell. I've Bern turning it si it gets all angles of the sun. I have a bag of 707 left and a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled all over it like an air pot and a ten gallon grow bag. This will take some thought. Hot af today. I wad able to lift the grow bags so I decided tomorrow will be the girls first real watering. I think I'll be adding silica and possibly kelp me kelp you due to the heat stress I've been noticing. Nothing bad just a few tacoed leaves. I've had several people that have seen my grow in person tell me that this is by far the healthiest (not biggest I've had bigger) but by farcthe healthies5 crop I've grown. They believe I'll have my best year ever this year. I hope they are right. Vid won't be uploaded until tomorrow. 6/22 WATERED TODAY. I'm still a little gun shy with watering. That fusarium last year pretty much traumatized me. I left the container plants alone. I gave them a little water but not enough to do much. I used a pump sprayer on a mist setting and went one by one and back around gently watering the entire medium. This took forever and I'll be finding a different way to water. I hope this was enough water. I'll check later on and if they look like they want more I give it to them. I started LST on the light dep 10th planet and tucked some branches of a another under the tomato cage. I had missed that earlier. I also went around and cleaned up the bottoms on most. Getting rid of things that will amount to nothing. I noticed what looked like thrip damage on ONE leaf on ONE plant. I also saw a chunk missing from a grasshopper bite and a finger of a fan leaf petiol was broken so I'm going to need to get my ipm up and running. I'm unsure whether I'll be using chemicals or predators. Probably BT and spinosad. That's what I've had the best luck with. I also noticed bottom leaves dying off on the bottom of a couple plants. It was where the burns were though so I'm almost 100% its just related to the light burns they got when i first put them up. I'll be updating the diary as I do more stuff.

Plants are getting big enough to train through the fence. Im thinking a vertical scrog, but its gonna be a bitch to harvest . We will see, still dunno if they are even female

This week the Apricot continues to impress with very even bud development and a strong, healthy structure after the last defoliation. Bud sites are stacking nicely across the entire canopy, with early but already heavy trichome coverage on the sugar leaves. What really stands out is the aroma: it already smells clearly like apricot jam, thick, fruity and unmistakable, not the usual generic sweetness of early flower. The plant shows no stress and reacts very well to the current feeding, so no changes were made. If development continues like this, this looks like a very promising and highly aromatic harvest in the making.

😇 😇 😇 Hi to all growers 😁 😁 😁 So let's start !! The first day of the girls' first week of life is a fact 💪 💪 💪 Some technical details: - Light cycle 20.5h on 3.5h off - Mars TSW first week set to 50% power - Ventilation RAM 4" 165m3 / h - Air humidifier from China ( doing job!! ) - 3x AutoPot + 3x AirDome See you soon, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇 😉 🙌

Semana 1 de fase de floración (sprouting day 21/04/202) 1) Radiante y magnifico el desarrollo de las cepas híbridas con ascendiente de genotipo Indica ( las tres cepas de Mr.Hide Seeds - Mr. Shiska USA / Mr. Jekyll Kush / Mr. California Pearl y la cepa híbrida con ratio 60/40 de Sativa/Indica). En comienzo de floración es muy claro que los trazos de Sativa en estas cepas híbridas, pese a que tengamos razones de genética (y sus fenotipos) marcados a un 70/30 (Ind./Sat.) ; 80/20 (Ind./Sat.) y 75/25 (Ind./Sat.) en acuerdo en este orden de Mr.Shiska USA // Mr. California Pearl // Mr. Jekyll Kush, Han revelado muchísimo de modo claro fenotipos de carácter Sativa y os explicó. En las tres cepas mencionadas resulta clarísima la naturaleza de hojas con puntas estrechas; internudos en regla cortas entre si y además la estructura arbustiva en forma general de abeto donde se diseña una cola central donde se desarrollará un cogollo central de dimensiones muy destacadas y después en áreas medianas a bajas, un conjunto de ramas secundarias donde se desarrollarán un número muy significativo de ramas donde el set de cogollos secundario se producirá sen limites mayores de estrés. Resulta pues muy claro que las tres cepas referidas sacando al porcentaje menor de fenotipo Sativa, enseñan en esta entrada a floración, la estructura característica de un "pino de navidad" y por sus esbozos resulta muy claro que tendremos la ya mencionada cola central que será de un grosor muy significativo y todos los cogollos secundarios en las áreas de base. Todos los cogollos serán muy significativos a lo tocante a un carácter muy resinoso y al los cogollos esféricos que son muy típicos de los de los fenotipos Sativa. Además la linea de terpenos  de los cogollos Sativa, acostumbran a tener un aroma muy pungente de pino; trazos dulzones y esse cierre terroso que es la imagen de marca de cepas Kush y mucho de las herencias OG. En contrapartida, la cuarta cepa por orden y por qué las tres que ya han sido mencionadas por pertenecer a un mismo banco - el Mr. Hide Seeds - en el caso lá Lockdown Kush de Sensei Seeds, siendo una muy particular genética híbrida 60/40 (Ind.//Sat.) , ha revelado una genética que destaca por la enorme anchura de su grupo de hojas primarias de base. La Lockdown Kush de Sensi es además una cepa con una característica muy definitiva, pongamos el enorme tamaño de su set de hojas primarias, la enorme anchura de las hojas; la disposición en cruce alternado de sus hojas primarias y además habrá que tener muy en cuenta el enorme cruce de un carácter increíblemente pungente de terpenos y de aromas tremendamente dulzones. La Lockdown Kush será una cepa a la cual es necesario volcar una atención extremada en el plan de defoliación, pues la anchura de hojas y el cruce de los tipos alternados de las mismas, tendrá una importancia muy destacada para que no haya áreas del grow que queden con una combinación nefasta de caracteres como sombra, calor y humedad elevada Esa área de hojas anchas cubriendo ramas secundarias - donde se dan condiciones para esbozos de cogllos- hay que estar muy al pendiente, pues con las condiciones de verano - temperatura y humedad elevada - si no se procede a un defoliado regular, puede que se den las condiciones para la expansión de patógenos de extrema gravedad. En eso, no es nunca demasiado llevar en cuenta el surgimiento de hongos como mildiu, rimam y botritis.  Además los patógenos a nivel radicular, temibles en estas fechas pasan por algunos de niveles de letalidad de grow enormes como el Fusarium ó el Pythium . No solo son patógenos que son críticos en su desarrollo sino que son muy agresivos en su expansión y además son muy rápidos en la forma con la cual eliminan a cualquier grow. Además y si no fuera lo bastante, por ejemplo en el caso del Fusarium, si después de su surgimiento no se procede a una desinfección generalizada del medio de grow y incluso de toda la casa, los esporos del Fusarium se quedan latentes y es muy fácil que pese a que tiremos macetas y medios de crecimiento, al año siguiente, los esporos vuelvan a tener condiciones para reproducción y en Fusarium vuelva a desarrollarse de modo muy rápido y agresivo. Nunca es demasiado poner los hermanos growers al dato y dar énfasis a todos que todos los años procedáis a la inoculación de mycorrhizas y sobretodo a lo que considero uno de los "escudos" de protección más efectivos en el grow canabico y que es el uso , SI Ó SI, de la Trichoderma harzanium y en todas las aplicaciones posibles - sea a nivel foliar; a nivel radicular, a nivel de las semillas y en combinaciones simbióticas con micorrizas; con bacterias de grow y con otros agentes. Ha sido en los últimos años muy importante la aportación de estos agentes fúngicos; bacteriológicos y otros, para que el control de plagas sea efectivo sin necesidad de cargar el grow sea con óleo de neem; de los insecticidas de la "vieja escuela" como las Cipemetrinas; ó algunos agentes que en mi opinión siendo muy efectivos en lo que se desea crean desequilíbrios muy profundos en lo que sea considerado los biomas como la bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis. Este agente de control de mariposas, pupas y orugas es la "solución final" a las mariposas, sus huevos, sus estágios de pupas y orugas, eliminando estos a una razón de casi 100%, pero para mi todo es muy sencillo, "la naturaleza le tiene ódio Al vacío" y que una bacteria te produzca extinción masiva de estos insectos, algo se altera en el bioma que causará a la postre, problemas en ciclos de vida de otras especies vegetales, animales, saprofitas ó otras y siempre le digo a los amigos que les apasiona la naturaleza y en concreto lo relativo a los grows canabicos. Eliminar las mariposas, orugas y pupas, tendrá un impacto biológico que no es posible cuantificar...o sea...es justo para que nuestros grows estén protegidos de plagas que se haga uso de algunos agentes que permitan controlar el desarrollo y la relación biológica inter-especies. O seu, no necesitamos seguramente que nuestro grow este prejudicado por una plaga que lo coloque en riesgo, pero para la naturaleza como un "todo", no es en mi opinión válido, que se use un agente como el Bacillus thuringiensis, que elimina 100% de las mariposas y sus estadios, de huevos a pupas y de ahí a orugas y de ahí a mariposas. En Biología, hay siempre que llevar en cuenta que las mariposas/orugas tienen una función y que si sacamos de un "exterminador total" como el Bacillus thuringiensis, estaremos creando un "inbalance" a nivel de bioma y con ello, tendremos quizás en poco tiempo, desequilíbrios en la cadena alimentar; en las bacterias, nematodos y otros seres vivientes, que necesitan de las mariposas/orugas para su ciclo y que en la naturaleza si como "humanos" y a "nuestra utilidad*, usamos una bacteria para eliminar las orugas/mariposas que nos comen las hojas del grow...la naturaleza y su plan es perfecto... Por algún motivo, hay necesidad de que puedan haber orugas y mariposas, que coman hojas de la Cannabis spp. (sin con ello haber un descontrol y una amenaza a nuestra intención). Por ejemplo, las mariposas tienen funciones de polinización y la acción de las orugas, tiene desde hace milenios, función de estimulación por estrés, lo que ha llevado a perfeccionar terpenos y incluso la estructura de producción de moléculas como el THC ∆-9. O sea que el estrés que las mariposas y orugas inducen, con su ciclo de alimentación, por ejemplo en el ciclo de grow de cannabis, es de importancia trancendiente a la evolución de la cannabis. Imaginemos pues que desde el día 1 de la Cannabis spp., se hubiera empezado a cargar el suelos y hojas de la cannabis con el Bacillus thuringiensis, para que las orugas y mariposas no comiesen la Cannabis...como tendríamos mariposas que hiciesen polinización? Como podria  la cannabis por el estrés, apurar sus canabinóides y sus terpenos? Por eso y como os digo, para mí, las "soluciones finales" como el Bacillus thuringiensis, son un campo muy peligroso y es por antonomasia, contrariar la naturaleza en su perfección. Si la idea es tener un grow "perfecto", el "perfecto" es en mi opinión, especies que se interrelacionan, que "tiran" unas de otras y donde el principio de simbiosis se asegure...la cannabis necesita de orugas que coman de si, pues las orugas ganan con esa relación biológica en alimento; en desarrollo de mariposas que harán la polinización de la cannabis proporcionando variabilidad genética y la alimentación de las orugas y mariposas conllevará a la respuesta química de la planta, apurando canabinóides, aumento de tasas de estos y creando desarrollo de terpenos que serán fundamentales para efectos de "entourage" que mejorarán el producto final. 2) En entrada de floración hay que destacar la buenísima pegada de crecimiento a cada semana. Este paso de vegetativo a floración con el cambio a 12/12 en el ciclo lumínico de encendido a oscuro, ha sido programado tomando en cuenta que el 24 de abril (día del cambio de ciclo lumínico) ha sido coincidente con luna nueva (ciclo lunar donde el estrés es menor y donde los cambios sufren un impacto menor). Ha sido muy importante también estar "al dato" con el agua en el sistema, pues en macetas de 9 litros, si se hace fácil aportar exceso de agua, las características de los airpots también tienen una tendencia de un secado de sustrato más rápido y con ello hay que tener presente que los riegos tendrán que hacerse según necesidad. En esta semana, como medida de rectificación creí necesario de hacer entre riegos, aspersiones foliares sacando a uso elementos que en este comienzo de floración son indispensables. Pese a que el Boost de Hesi no sea un orgánico, en regla cuando usado en simultáneo como aspersión foliar con el Big One de Top Crop; el C4 de Mills; el Ultra MG de Gold Label y además el Organic Bloom de B.A.C. . Así que disfrutad, hermanos y la próxima semana y entrada, que sea claro para vosotros el estupendo trabajo que está en desarrollo y muy claro tengo que estamos en la antepara de una temporada magnífica. 420 Forever y que el verde sea sempre nuestro corazón. Abrazo, Tom

Took all of the ties off and will do trellis netting soon

Pretty good tester from mephisto. I found two different phenotypes with my 4 plants. Two were purple and a bit more earthy while the other two were normal color green fading to light green/yellow with bright yellow pistils and a sweet mango sugar smell.

U can see everything on pictures 💪 Ready for Harvest !!!! 💪

So there they are fully blowing my tent! I got 90cm on the tallest one and wasn't prepared at all to deal with such height! The light were just at the 40cm distance limit from the tallest one and she doesn't look like is going to stop growing so I had to reorganize my setup to fit the light at a higher position. Even though the lights are right there with the filter I guess there's not much light being lost. The thrips seemed to started to get everywhere and I could spot one of then (several actually) for the first time and they are nasty. I bath the whole plant with more conditioner for a couple of times and I couldn't spot any today but I'm gonna take a closer look tomorrow as today was about lsting all the side branches to fill the mesh as better as possible. I'm pretty happy with the amount of good potential bud sites. They are several and pretty strong too! I'm guessing that except for some defoliation along the way that's the final shape of the plants. There's plenty of light getting to all important buds and even the lower ones are getting some decent light too (thanks @MarsHydro). I hope they stop stretching and getting those flowers big and chubby soon! Cheers

Week 9 of flower Continuing on just water with a touch of mammoth p Trichomes are milky, watching closely as I think I will be harvesting sometime throughout the week. Buds are swolen and the smell has increased in the tent. Thanks for stopping by for a look! The finish is in sight!

And that's that. An easy plant to grow overall. Has some smell but far from where I need it to be. Bud structure is pretty good but the girl didn't spread much for development. Some did with training which she handled. Dimmed to 80% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by!

Esta semana a los 73 dias de floracion decidí que ya tenia que cosecharlas. No podia dejar pasar mas dias puesto que se corria mucho riesgo de botritis y los tricomas estaban ya suficientemente maduritos, igual demasiado. Jamás me habia encontrado con unas jack con tanta cola de zorro pero de oler huelen a gloria. hasta el último dia estubieron siempre dentro del armario y posiblemente por la extracción no pude percibir el olor tan agradable que desprenden, intenso . Algo mas terroso de lo que pensaba. Cogollos duros como piedras, algo exsagerado. Con 74 dias al secadero, calefactor 80w más un par de ventiladores con ventilacion indirecta, extraccion, intraccion pasiva

Vienen muy lindas, por ahora solo estirandose sin formar mucho las preflores, al final de la semana que viene planeo hacer defoliacion y poda de bajos

Plants looking good they have a light smell plant 1 is developing slower than plant two. Plant 2’s bud are very dense!!! Still a few weeks to go

This week I started low stress training, it’s very early for it as it may still be in the seedling stage🤷‍♀️🏼 Jus experimenting. I’ve been giving them rain water mixed with spring water at a ph of 6-6.5, I spray them down daily. I’m not Evan sure I’m LST’ing them properly but a girl can try😊 Feel free to correct anything I’m doing wrong, or give any advise☺️💗
