The end of the fourth week. Only 2,5 to 3 weeks to go, since this is the FAST version of Gelato 33 by Advanced seeds. Last week temps were better, so that was a lot better to manage. The smell is a different story. We are trying to combat it as we speak with a double filter which my friend still had from a previous grow. The ladies are performing, however, because this is a monstercrop with many budsites, none of them will be very big. We anticipate a lot of cutting come harvest time. The stickieness and smell (cookies, dough, herbs, spices, gingerbread, vanilla) promise a lot to make up for that hopefully!! The middle plant that seemed to go fastest, now looks like to have the hardest time flowering. Her more advanced stage of flowering as a bigger clone, made it harder for her to return to veg, which she never really did. This seems to make her want to rush to the finish, as she is already browning the pistils. Also these buds seem more flakey, popcorny. As if the many flowers and grapelike bundled growth was too much for her. I put the light a little closer, to help her fatten up in the time she is given. I never expected the two 'runts' to outperform the mighty middle clone, but hey seem to fatten up and age much more nicely. So for now, prelimenary tip: make sure all your plants are completely revegged before flowering and consider that faster flowering species might have some ruderalis ancestry that might siderail all your lighting intentions and remains in flower what ever the growers lighting schedule. So with at least two more weeks for the two outer plants, and well see how many for the middle one, we are going to make them as comfortable as possible the final push of this flowering. Thank you for following and see you next week!!

Cada vez mais perto! Os buds estão a desenvolver bem (a meu ver)! Semana tranquila e sem nenhum contratempo. Questão: o que são aquelas manchas nas folhas? Nas pontas é excesso de nutrientes, mas e as maiores, o que poderá ser?

Tanto CHeery Lemon como una AK ultra , apartir de la semana 9 ya las plantas entran en los 63 dias. Y empiezan a cerrarse. Lo que es recomendable empezar a regar una ultima dosis con comida y ya solamente agua hasta la fecha de corte.

My aggressive bud-blocker removal has resulted in an unruly bush who is trying to over-grow her space! My hopes are that she can keep herself contained for the rest of the grow lol 😂. I've done a LOT of defoliation to try and help with the humidy and airflow in the tent. Her bud sites look happy and healthy, and her branches are super strong! 💪 She is drinking a TON of water. I find myself adding a gallon every 2-3 days!

Tested a micro humidifier in this box too and it went horribly wrong, just flooded everywhere. Mind you, it did raise the humidity a bit :D More testing next week.

Hello guys, Here I am again to present you a new run, still with the best leds of the market nevertheless as I changed my growing space from 120x120 to 150x150. So I had to update the material inside... I will run with 3 EVO 5-150 lamps of 320W or 960W with Bluetooth dimmers. For the Hydro system, it will be the V-SYSTEM from Alienhydroponics. In fertilizers I am always with Advanced Nutrients. I work with osmosis water. Currently, 4 clones took on 4. Once the roots are ready, I will transfer the cuttings from the propagator to the V-SYSTEM. ------------------------ since the 16/08, when I transplanted the plants in the RDWC system, I noticed some points that I will mention below and correct next time. 1. The cuttings are too small, allow enough time so that I can completely fill my pots with clay balls. 2. Cut out the bottom of the pots from the cuttings. 3. 3/4 of the cuttings are touching the water, so one is late. Next time when transplanting, add more water, up to the basket in order to immerse all the plants and not to create a difference between each one, consequence now I have 3 that are ready to explode and one that will struggle behind, problem corrected today by increasing the volume of water. 4. The b-52 is a real pain in the ass in RDWC, you have to clean the 2 filters almost every day, with this new soup I'm testing without and I think I'll continue like this just with the base sensi grow A and B, as I use Root rot X, I won't use voodoo juice since all the bacteria would be killed. 5. Use of Voodoo Juice is useless if using Root Rot X which will kill the bacteria. I don't know why but when I transplanted in the RDWC, I put my set up in growth mode, except that the plants were not ready for it, moreover, I made a FIM on each. So I lost some days, these last days I went back to a ppdf of 150, now that my roots touch the water, I declare growth 0 on 22/08, I will do between 21 and 28 days of growth. And as my roots are doing well and touching the water I'll go to a PPFD of 300 ++

Pflanzen sehen ok aus Eine zeigt leichte Wachstumsstörung bzw. defizite, die anderen wachsen recht gut Gab in den ersten Tagen ein Bewässerungsproblem mit überwässerung deshalb musste die Erde für ein paar tage erst wieder trocknen bis ich erneut gießen konnte.

This thing was very easy to grow. Liked low PPMs in flower. Around 600 was plenty for her. Will report taste and effects when curing is complete.

MrHide Seeds Test BESTAVA Quantum Board 2000W (SAMSUNG LM301B LED) Muy feliz ! Cero plagas con la tierra diatomea , se las tiro por todo lado. Se me dañó el deshumidificador y el porcentaje está en 80%, pero aún están en vegetación entonces no estoy preocupado. Crecen super fuertes, sin deficiencias aparentes o daños. Las Kritical Red ya están empezando a dar signos de floración, vamos a dejarlas que den sus primeros pasos solas y en unos días le empezamos a dar de comer y estimular nuevamente. Esta semana les he ido haciendo defoliación fuerte y ha dado resultados. Los brotes inferiores han subido bastante y se les ve mejor estructura. Esperemos den buenas flores. Buenos Humos para todos los cultivadores ! ¡cerotes, gueyes, culiados, pizados, boludos, jodidos, maes, patas, parces!

Spider mites have taken over my plant. I've been taking leaves off and lost bud sites because of this issue. I'm broke til tomorrow so I can't buy any products. At this point I'm thinking of just throwing the plant out and starting fresh. Yes it's has come along way but damn the spider mites are worse than bed bugs at this point

Gibt nicht viel zu erzählen die Ladys laufen ganz OK leichte Probleme mit dem Ph Wert (im Abfluss wasser der Töpfe), mal schauen wie ich das etwas runter gedrückt bekomme will die Ladys nicht unbedingt spülen in der Phase. Zum Geruch die lady die vorne links steht riecht nacht Erde, Moos-artig mit einem intensiven typischen Gras Geruch, sie ist aber auch gute 10 cm kürzer als die anderen. Denke mal das sich da mehr indica in der Genetik befindet. Die anderen 3 riechen identisch nach was tropischem, mehr die frucht Note kann es schlecht beschreiben wie ein multi vitamin Saft der mehr Banane und ananas enthält und dadurch so ein cremigen Abgang entwickelt dazu mischt sich der typische gras Geruch und es wird von Tag zu Tag intensiver 🤤🤤🤤🤤 wen das so weiter geht ziehe ich mit Sack und Pack in mein Zelt ein und wohne mit da drinnen😂😂😂 euch noch nen schönes Wochen Ende growmies

Day 64 - I've been patiently waiting for the time to come, and it's finally here! Changed the lights over to 12/12 to send the tent into flower. Current light settings R99 W99 B50 as suggested by California Lightworks. I did a full reservoir change - switching over to bloom nutes. I also added some Si28 and P31 Microbes to the reservoir to test out this new product that I was fortunate enough to receive samples of. I've seen the results of others with crazy booming root growth.... Let's see what happens! Day 65 - I swear, it's like she's been waiting for me to flip the light cycle. I kicked one plant out of the tent so now there's even more room for improved air circulation and light distribution. This plant is a serious beast! Day 67/ Day 3 of Flower - Last massive round of defoliation before I sit back and let her do her thang. ✌️

Adding Mephisto Sour Hound to my tent of autos. Really excited about growing some Mephisto Genetics, been hearing amazing things about Mehphisto (I also have a Alien vs Triangle going in a separate diary). This is a free seed I received with my order from Seedsman last fall (BTW Seedsman ROCKS!). This first seed failed to pop so I planted a second and that one popped in 4 days!. My Perpetual Harvest strategy…. Originally my plan was to start 2 seeds each month, but had some seeds from one breeder that did not germinate early in my rotation. Ultimately, this caused single seeds to pop and messed up my 2 at a time plans. But, that seemed to work out OK, because now I think starting one seed every 3 weeks is a better strategy. This should provide me with 4-5 plants at a time, instead of 6. However… Since I need to shut down over the summer because my tent is currently in the attic, I’m starting 2-3 seeds at at time for the last couple of rounds. Plants get fed once weekly on weekends. Seedlings get water only. Plants in vegetation get water and Recharge. Flowering plants get water, Recharge or Big Bloom (Fox Farm). Feeding is done using 2 gallon watering can. Any additional waterings during the week are given on an as needed basis per plant. I lift the plants to help determine which plants are more dry (lighter) and provide water any plants via water bottles and watering spikes. I give each pot a quarter turn every day in an effort to make sure the plants get equal lighting from all sides. I rotate the plant in place by turning the pot 90 degrees (I am not rearranging the layout of the plants in the tent on a daily basis). The soil is an ‘organic super soil’ I mixed myself using organic top soil, organic potting soil, organic compost, organic peat moss, organic perlite, organic vermiculite, lime, epsom salt, expanded clay pellets and Jobe’s organic fast start. I am also recycling my soil and water with Recharge when using recycled soil. For plant training I have tried a variety of things, but my plans now are to do LST bending only, no HST anymore. I may decide to go back to HST again in the future, but I’m curious to compare LST training only to see how that goes. Around week 3 I'll do a FIM pinch once there are 4-5 nodes established. And some defoliation around the 3rd week of flowering. I have been doing HST bending and having good results, but think the HST may be causing the plants to take longer to harvest. I hope FIM/defoliation only will help increase harvests while getting me to harvest sooner. Setup: 1- Grow Tent 24”x48”x72” 2- Viparspectra 300W LED’s (1-V300 & 1-R300) 1- Hanging 100w CFL (26w actual) 1- Carbon Filter w/ 190cfm Fan & 4” ducts 1- 6” clip-on fan 1- 700w electric heater - oil filled radiator (in front of air intake behind tent)
