The ladies weren't very thirst this week. They got 1 gallon of nutrients each on Sun., 12/29, Wed., 1/1, and Sat., 1/4. Minimal fan leaf clearing throughout the week. Since the stretch is definitely over, on Wed., I lowered the light to 25 inches from the top of the Kush. It's coming down to the final 2-3 weeks. Time to start getting excited ...I'm also trying to decide if I am going to try and dry them in my basement so I can start on my next grow sooner. Decisions decisions. hahaha Enjoy the videos. The first one is of the walk-in closet that the grow tent is setup in and second is of what I have going on inside of the tent. I hope you like them and if you're a newb like me, hopefully you get something useful out of them. Thanks for following along. Happy smoking, and Happy New Year!

Day 39-02/09/22 should be back on track with the diary now 5 of the plants all looking good some taller than others but that’s to do with the position of the plants under the light but all looking good this is when things get exciting

honestly, I wasn't even sure if it was time to harvest. I did everything off the naked eye and I definitely wasn't able to look at trichomes to determine so i went based off the ratio of brown to clear/white. i harvested only the top cola and left the bottom bud sights on to see if they would grow anymore lol anyways, time to cure and dry. cant wait to taste my first full grow!

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

She recovered from the adjustments and the soil being in better conditions for nutrients uptake she continued with her growth normally. I reintroduced the microbial system by watering with a compost tea I made. I then reintroduced nutes to her feed all while making sure all solutions given were at the ideal Ph and PPMs. I mostly use RO water with 5.2 Ph/ 32 PPM so after the flush I gave days to the soil to dry back then for the next watering I had to ph up around 5.8 to 6.3 to tackle the high ph issue in my medium. Gradually we came back to range with the last watering I checked and we were around 6.5 ph/ 1089 PPM which is ideal for where I want my soil to be. Around day 38 she started showing pistils on a few tops. By the end of the week I could tell she had officially entered her flowering stage. I didn’t defoliate this week, I wanted to give time to the plant to recover. I instead did some LST by the end of the week to open up the canopy a little more. I love how everything is going I’m grateful for the knowledge I’m learning along the way. Take care of your loved ones happy growing

My ELUFAH UAP 1500 test grow is showing excellent results, with the plant thriving under my care. The addition of the ELUFAH Saturn Ring under canopy light has been a game-changer, significantly boosting growth. It's clear that the supplemental lighting is providing the plants with the extra energy they need for robust development and impressive yields.

Hello Growers and Tokers! You ready to sail off into green space in search for some cosmic snacks? This run we'll be taking a look at the Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC) from PEV Seeds. The search is starting off a bit rocky only one of the seeds sprouted so let's make the most of it! Strain description from breeder: Miracle Alien Cookies looks like a cannabis plant coming from another world. It is the paradigm of modern cannabis breeding, a variety that represents everything we want to find in our weed: power, flavor, production, speed and a number of extraterrestrial trichomes. It arose from the combination of an Alien Cookies F2 with the cross between a Colombian and the great Starfighter. In its ancestors we can find the mythical Alien Technology twice, as it is part of both the Alien Cookies and the Starfighter. Its flowering time indoors and outdoors can be considered standard. Indoors usually blooms and matures in about 9 weeks, being able to advance or delay the harvest depending on your preferences regarding the effect. The aroma reminds you of the orange sweets, as it mixes a base of cookie dough with a deep orange background that feels like eating rather than burning. Its taste is citric and sweet, with earthy touches that beg you for more and more… This is the typical effect of balanced hybrids, but raised to its maximum expression. Even if you have a high tolerance to cannabis, you may find it too potent. It rises like a pure sativa, speeding up your heartbeat and thoughts, but the high comes with a significant body charge, so it keeps you awake but relaxed. Genetic Background: MAC S1 (Alien Cookies x (Colombian x Starfighter)) Type: Feminized Sativa 50% Indica 50% THC: 25% CBD: 0.8% CBG: 0,01% Yield Indoor : 500 - 600 gr/m2 Height Indoor: 120 - 140 cm Height Outdoor: 180 - 230 cm Flowering time: 9 - 10 weeks Harvest Month: Mid October Expectations and training method: Expecting nothing but greatness from this strain. I’ve had the chance to smoke this strain before so I know what the final result should be like, let’s hope she comes out proper. Plan to top and LST, widen her out and try to yield a bit more than I’m expecting which is roughly 40 grams. I’m thinking she’ll be a bit picky with the feeding and training so I’ll try to take it easy so she doesn’t stress out on me.. Tent: Dutch Masters 120x240x220cm Lights: 1 x EasyGrow S800v2 1 x Mars Hydro TSW2000 1 x Mars Hydro FC3000 Ventilation: Garden HighPro - ProFan TT Extractor Fan - 150mm Garden Highpro - ProActiv Carbon Filter - 150mm Garden Highpro - ProFan Oscilating Clip Fans - 25cm Blauburg - Inline Fan - 125mm Humidifier: Garden Highpro - Humipro Digital Humidifier - 4 liters Pots: Garden Highpro 11L Fabric pots Medium: Biobizz Light Mix Nutrients: Grotek - Mycrorizo Plagron- Alga grow, Alga Bloom, green sensation and royal sugar.

Week 4 coming to a close, temps are way better now. shes also beginning to ramp up her watering intake. Watered 4L, 5.9PH, 1ml/L Power Roots and 4ml/L Grow on Day 22 Watered 5L, 5.9PH, 1ml/L Power Roots and 5ml/L Grow on Day 26 Did some defoliation on 22 and 24. I think i overdid it for my likings but oh well, she'll manage. Scrog Net is ready for deployment on Day 27.🙌 Shes looking fine, healthy and has a lush green color, so i ramped up the nutes, cause thats what i do.

●Well unfortunately the ballast blew on my light so I'm harvesting 6 days or so sooner than I had wanted. Will be giving a 6 or 7 day hang dry. I will post weights and flavors once dried and cured. As of now Big Bud has a strong bubblegum aroma. I'm very excited to give her a taste!

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil spread evenly across the top of the soil. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 77°F. I watered 4-5 gallons per pot once. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 81°F with partly cloudy skies. We missed the 50% chance of rain today. I watered 4-5 gallons per pot, once. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 71°F with cloudy overcast skies. It's rained most of the morning with more rain in the forecast. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 77°F. We had a big front move through today. It been raining and overcast all day. The girls seem to be loving it, but I'll need to treat for powdery mildew again ASAP. Day 5 we had a high temperature today of 83° F. Skies were cloudy to partly cloudy and it rained for several hours. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 91°F. We had rain overnight and early morning. The skies were partly cloudy and I didn't have to water today. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 90°F. Skies were sunny and I watered 4-5 gallons per pot once. I treated with Growers Ally Fungicide just before dark. This week was a success. We had lots of rain and cool temperatures. The powdery mildew flared up a little as I didn't treat because of the daily rain. We finished our The week with warmer temps and sunshine. The girls have slowed down their upward growth and have almost transitioned to generative phase one or flower. They're starting to smell citrusy.
