Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres Stretch 15centimètres Jour42 defolliation Jour45 arrosage avec de l'eau 1ml topmax Jour47 arrosage avec deux litres d'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 1ml par litre d'eau de topmax biobizz Quesque le stretch ? How to Control Stretching: Mastering Cannabis's Growth Push Stretching is a natural growth spurt for cannabis plants, but it is known to affect final yield. We dive into what causes stretching in the first place and how to prevent it from invading your growing space. There is little more irritating than an overloaded grow room. Stretching, the term used to describe the accelerated growth of cannabis stems, is part of the natural process of the vegetative phase and is influenced by plant genetics among other variables. Unfortunately, stretching is a recurring culprit in poor yields and plants that are too long resulting in the wobble of physically unstable crops. Despite the threat it confers, stretching can be controlled by first examining the factors influencing growth and then creating a protocol to accompany these problems step by step. Controlling cannabis stretching requires an understanding of how plants interact with their internal and external environments. WHY DO PLANTS STRETCH? There are many reasons why plants are stretched, one of which revolves around the varieties themselves. Genetics play an essential role in determining the possible height of sativas, indicas and hybrids. While most indica varieties are reared to grow in a smaller and denser way, sativas often undergo significant stretches of up to sometimes almost 2 or more mothers depending on the species. While stretching itself is not harmful, drastic flare-ups on the part of the stems can result in the potential loss of a large crop of between 20% and 30% in total. When thinking about species for your next home growing session, look for the standard size of each variety you are interested in so you can judge whether or not these species undergo drastic stretching during flowering.

I switched the "spice girls" into bloom this week changing both the schedule to 12 - 12 and turning on the bloom switch on my Mars Reflector 192. As you can see in a couple of the close ups, stigmas are starting to show. They are also starting to grow taller and fill out, and I have had to raise the light up.

420Fastbuds-Week 6 Gelato Auto What up grow fam. Weekly update on these 3 beautiful 😍 ladies. They got moved over to the flower tent this week. Temperatures have gone up tremendously since it seems summer weather has finally got here. Over all they seem to be handling it, OK. Showing some heat stress but I think it's just an adjustment period. I'll most likely do a defoliation this week thinning it out to allow more air flow. All in all Happy Growing

-5/14/23 Start of Week --Week 8/Flower 2 -5/17/23 (Day 60/Flower 11) --Observations: still getting clustered with shade leaves, Stigmas are growing in number and gaining size. --Changes: started spraying with Build-a-Bloom once a day --Comments: nutrient spray should help with pre-flower creation, still not putting nutrients in watering. still not removing anything until the end of next week, then defoliation of shade leaved will be done to open up space for all the branched to do their best. -5/20/23 (Day 63/Flower 14) --Observations: pre-flower is coming in nicely, sent is starting to change --Changes: started spraying twice a day with Build-a-Bloom, moved closer to light (26 in) --Comments: starting to get a sent but it is faint, noticed when I was manipulating for photos. The sent is like foliage and lemons, could also partially be do to the lemon basil. changed location under the light making it more in the middle and lowered the distance to the light. got some WWE action figures and what I think is a G.I. Joe action figure from a friend to use for a photo contest, also took video for this week with them. -5/20/23 End of Week

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. Flushed last week and I'll flush this week too. I like to flush, I get better taste because of it. I'm pleased with this strain. The buds are hard and have a good smell and the plant are holding up their branches covered in buds. I see a couple of branches heading for the floor though. That's my way of gauging how heavy my buds are. When I water later, I'll tie them up. This is the last week for these lovely girls. Smells like metallic skunk with some sweet orange undertones in the basement. But when I touch the buds and smell my fingers, I get more of a sweet musky orange skunky smell. Smells delicious. Not just a straight cat pee smell, but something I might want to smoke, with some flavor to it. I'll post some pictures before I harvest next week. Ok. Be Great. Chuck.

✂️ Harvest — From Chop to Bubble Hash (Final Review) 🌿❄️ Harvest completed with dense, resin-heavy buds and fully swollen calyxes. Trichomes were mostly cloudy with a touch of amber, and the aroma at chop was loud — sweet, citrusy, and greasy, filling the room instantly 🍊🔥 After harvest, the plant was air-dried for ~5 days at 16–19 °C, keeping conditions cool to preserve terpenes and trichome heads. Instead of a full flower cure, I chose to process the harvest into Bubble Hash, focusing on resin quality and terpene retention ❄️🌿 The wash went very clean — trichome heads separated well, showing strong resin production despite earlier challenges during the run. Smell stayed fresh and powerful throughout the process, confirming the effectiveness of the environment control and flush. This grow was a big learning experience. From training in veg, managing powdery mildew in early flower, switching to RO water, and finishing with Flawless Finish, everything contributed to a clean and satisfying result. Ending with one plant proved that quality and consistency matter more than numbers 👑 Overall, very happy with the outcome — solid resin, loud terps, and valuable lessons gained for the next run. Looking forward to applying everything learned into the next diary 🌿🔥

Hi everyone. Welcome to my🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week. Daily updates and uploads so if week not over yet. Please revisit to see full week content😊 Thank you all for such amazing support 😊🤗💜 So far everything is going great. No issues at all. Both girls started preflower on Tuesday and already I can see that they started stretching nicely. Scrog net will be installed by the end of this week. Week 5 13-19 Nov. 13/11 day 36 First runoff experience for girls. Loaded both pots with approx. 2.5 ltr each in 4 stages of 500-700ml. Runoff 100-150ml from each. Runoff PH 5.9. Nutrients for this watering were same as on previous week and added only calmag. Next watering possibly Friday but with new measurements. 14/11 day 37 Both 🍌💜👊 girls started preflower on same day. Xena is catching up quick to her larger sister and possibly soon they will be sharing this growing space 50/50 15-16/11 days 38-39 Just happy and healthy days 😁 nice steady growth. 17/11 day 40 Second watering for this week. 5.5l beetwen both. Runoff Ph 6.1 19/11 day 42 Most busiest day so far. Both girls got very bushy in last few days and they stretched enough to install scrog net. Before installing net applied selective defoliation on both girls. 8-10 fan leaves from each. It's the end of this amazing week 😁 Thank you all again for such a great support 🤗✌️💚

It's harvest time! Despite a few hiccups along the way, this little girl has made remarkable progress. I had almost a month of extreme heat and she suffered a lot, especially in terms of flower density, but she recovered greatly in the last three weeks thanks to Overdrive. She didn't increase her yield, but her flower density increased significantly. I'm really happy with the final result!

Day 57 this little lady last weekend showed up with some burning on the leaves but I’m. Not really sure it was an excess of nutrient, signals of a deficiency of K and P are also visible. So I just gave oh controlled water with regulator and enzym+ and some calmag, now everything looks fine and i ‘ m sure I t will be great this week. Tomorrow, feeding day! Day 59 lady si farting up every day, I’ve been feeding her the last two days. The yellow on the leaves is just because of a water deficiency from the last week, I wanted my lady to absorb everything I gave. On day 57 I gave 1 lt but it was too dry, so on day 58 I gave her another lt and she took it all with PH 6,2 and PPM 1000z I think I’ve got 20/25 day max left so this will be the last week of fertilising from Day 70 I’ll start mi flush. Day 62 today feeding day I finally get my p-boost and k-boost from aptus. She drunk 1 lt with ph 6,1 and ppm 1090 Let’s see🌱🌱🌱🔥🔥

So I fed them 1/2 veg and 1/2 bloom nutes when I flipped the tent. I also keep training her to keep her level canopy. I did some lollipopping and took the lowest branches to clone. Im cloning in rockwool for my 1st time ever so wish me luck with that. 2 B Blunt is still the biggest in the tent. Ive grown 2 b blunt maybe 4 or 5 other times. Can't find the seeds online anymore. This was my last seed. I did cross 2 b blunt x red runtz s1 from exotic genetix. Ive grew one out from the cross and wow she was good and different terps. The original 2 b blunt is just to amazing so I hope my clones take. I would like to make some s1 seeds if I can. Well stay tuned to see how much she stretches..... I won this light giveaway on Instagram. 650 watt big full spectrum LED and 4x 25w under canopy lights. I moved these plants into the 4x4 with the new lights. Super cool Christmas gift.
