Pretty good week, no problems. Added a dehumidifier yesterday (Saturday). And also bought a new light. The light should arrive on Tuesday. Looking forward to that because then I’ll be able to spread them out further so they’ll all have as much room to grow as they need. I believe they’ve started flowering, that happened like day 24 when I first noticed the white hairs coming out of the bud sites. They really took off growing mid way through the week. Like twice the growth as the prior week. I haven’t been defoliating per se, I have been tucking & tying leaves down. Many of the secondary flowering nodes have actually surpassed the main cola’s of my plants height wise. Those that did I tied slightly back down. Really wish I could cut a few branches off them without stressing them out. Oh well. Such is the bane of autoflower growing. The new light I bought is a Colofrog 2021 CF 2400 LED w/Samsung LM301H Osram Diodes. From what I gathered online, it’s a better light than the Mars hydro tsw 2000 I currently own. I’ve got my ts 1000 in the tent currently just to get through until the new light comes Tuesday.

Fruity Freak 2 and 3 are 57” tall and 48” across. They are both shedding any remaining premature flowers and sugar leaves. Their re-veg / pre-flower stretch looks like it is slowing, so they should be showing flowers soon. The top four branches that had been LST’d have sprouted new shoots along the branches, and it looks like there will be several apical bud sites, which is great! Additionally, the growth tips on those four branches have now split into multiple shoots since the re-veg. It is also interesting to look at these plants as a whole–there are no secondary branches on any of the lower branches, so no need to prune! They also have a nice open shape that permits plenty of airflow. So, despite my delayed and reactive pruning/training, the plants look like they have great potential. I went ahead and took a video of them as it is hard to really capture them in pictures. Fruity Freak 1 is up to 45”. She’s currently a backup plan, so if everything goes well, it is unlikely I will need any of her yield. Fruity Freak E’s clone is taking off, now 14”, up 5” from last week. I received my Mono-Potassium Phosphate this week and designed a new fertilizer blend using it. Now that these plants are about to flower, I am discontinuing the use of the liquid 4-10-3 fertilizer as it has a small amount of Auxin in it. The new recipe is: Mono Potassium Phosphate - 0.5 grams per gallon Potassium Nitrate - 1.36 grams per gallon Soy hydrolysate - 3.52 grams per gallon (Which still hits my targets of 160 ppm N, 30 ppm P, and 175 ppm K) I will update the nutrient section once I have a good guess for tsp/gal conversion.

Hello everyone 😎 Week 7 of flower for the Amnesia HazZzzze🤯 All the tops buds are ready✂️ 3 different pheno🤩 Purple : the smell is citrusy & earthy very strong!🍋 Green : tropical 🤤 it reminds me the Pablo Escobar ! Max 2 more weeks & finito ✔️

Top dressed for the last time. Fed some compost tea and now smooth sailing ⛵️

Bellissima la mia prima zstrawberriez.e sono sicuro che anche a livello di potenza e terpeni è fantastica.... Poi vi dirò anche qual'è l'effetto di questa ztrawberriez....

Day 39, had a little nitrogen toxicity, been flushing and seems to be recovering okay, much stronger Skunk smell and nice resin production with orange hairs starting to form as well!

Controller is easy to use along with the app

Added white foil in the back of the greenhouse to allow for some more light in the back. She reacted to this fairly quickly by rotating her leaves more upward rather than to one side. I also raised the camera more and adjusted the position of the pot for it to be more centered.

Not much of a producer. Basically a joke. Nice and frosty and good trichrome production for what is there

Buds are starting to mature.

The result:63 DAYS FROM SEED TO HARVEST

Day 85 - first day of Week 13 and she is going into darkness for 48 hours. Hasn't been watered since 2 days. Even though she looks the least done of all three, her trichomes are now a good 20-30% amber with the rest milky and some tiny bits of clear. I checked her buds on the calyx all around, from top buds to middle to bottom. She really shows a lot of heavily swolen calyxes, which I have never seen like that. I can now add that to the things I learned/experienced: calyxes swell a lot before the plant is finished. Let's see. My Girl Scout Cookies does not look like she even has calyxes. Funny individuals. Happy wedding cake day, almost 😍 Day 88 - out of darkness. She was in there for 2,5 days. Opening the drying tent she gave off a really strong smell of hash 😍wow. She has some nice looking buds and looks def. more done, but below her dress, she has some light fluffy buds. I have hung all of them now in the dry tent, after I removed some of the bigger fan leaves. One part of it, I think I want to low and slow dry in the fridge. I am interested in finding out about the difference in taste, when a more wholesome profile is retained. For anyone interested, I can highly recommend this forum and this article: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/drziggys-low-and-slow-drying-maximizing-your-harvest.366783 Another part I would like to use for fresh cut oil, also from here: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/fresh-harvest-infused-cannabis-oil.363371/ As with everything else, I was obsessing about the perfect dry room & conditions. I bought a small tent (40x40cm), a small oszillating fan hung over the buds/on top of the tent. Due to size limitations, I have the filter on the bottom with the duct leaving the tent at the bottom connecting to an exhaust fan. Inside the tent I have a humidity sensor from an Inkbird Humidity regulator. Connected to that is a mini-dehumidifer and a humidifier. I have set it to 20°C (68F) and 50-55% humidity. I'm excited to see how long my dry will last this time. My first grow was drying way too fast in the middle of the heat wave last year with 30% humidity. The overview added to the pictures, I started making over Christmas. It was when I noticed, that I'm a so impatient, and that something must be wrong, especially in the first weeks. I get so obsessive, that I tend to overcare. Which she showcases beautifully in this overview. I hope this will calm me down the next time. Oh my haha Let's see what the final dry weight is. My guess is about 25-35g. Any other guesses? Happy Wedding Cake day 😇

August 23: Just finishing up about 36 hours of darkness, then I'm going to wash the buds, then hang them. Harvesting a bit early due to time constraints but it looks good. The smell is very dank, not a tropical skittles smell, much more like wood glue as I've seen mentioned in other reviews, although I'm starting to occasionally catch a sweeter tropical scent as well. I wanted to leave it a little longer. There were still a lot of white hairs when I started the dark period, but a lot of them seem to have developed into swollen calyxes so I'm pretty happy. I was a little worried they were making seed pods after last time, but I broke one open and all that was inside was red hairs. I'm going to keep an eye on the RH while they're drying and get them into jars and try to wait as long as possible before I start sampling. I can tell this is one of those batches that's going to get better and better if left alone for a couple months. Just did the wash, did 1.25 cups of 34% food grade H202 and a squeezed lemon in a 5 gal bucket. Another bucket of just water to rinse. Then I had a fan on it while hanging in the sunlight from a skylight in the bathroom for 30 min, then put the fan further back and on oscillate, then turned it down an hour later. Left it in there for a few hours, then hung it in the grow tent with everything removed except an oscillating fan, pointed away from the buds. I have the whole plant hanging in the middle of the tent and the tent is holding at 60% rh. Next run I'm going to do 2 buckets and only top once. I might leave them a bit longer in veg too to maximize the height in my grow space, and I'll get a proper 500w bulb instead of continuing to run 1000w bulbs at 50% to lower the heat a bit. The weather will be cooler and I'll only run one air stone in each bucket which should help with res temp. I'll probably foil-wrap the buckets again as well. I should be able to get another run done by the end of the year. I have a White Widow fem seed I've been waiting to use but I'm not sure what else I want to grow yet. Maybe Granddaddy Purp. I'll take some micro pics of the trichomes this week and start curing, and I'll post a proper review in a couple weeks. Happy growing everyone! August 24: I took it out of the tent to inspect. No mold or mildew. The middle of some buds are still pretty wet. I'll keep an eye on it. Wet weight on the stem is 158 grams/ 5.5oz. I harvested a couple branches last week and hung them up. I just ground up one of the buds, left it overnight and vaped some today. There was a bit of Chemdawg Tangerine in the grinder already but overall I got a lot of thick vapour, instant effects, and a really great tropical taste. I busted out the microscope camera and I realized I had a couple buds that fell off before I washed the plant in the H202, and a couple buds that came off in the washing process. It doesn't look like washing the buds took off any of the trichomes. I do seem to find less debris in the buds, not that there was much there before. The trichs look great. Just a light toasting of amber. The washed bud actually seems more dry than the unwashed bud. August 25: there's a real chlorophyll smell coming from the drying room today, it was much terpier yesterday. Leaves are getting crunchy, stems are still fully bendy. I ended up taking it down in the evening. The drying room rh dropped from 60% to 55% and the buds were starting to look too dry based on my last grow. I put it all in a paper bag for the night and I'll put it in jars tomorrow morning. Broken down most of the way it came out to 48-49 grams. From the bud structure, I definitely feel like it would have benefitted from more grow time if I didn't have to travel. More to come. August 26 - the edges of the buds are getting really crispy and the buds are getting tighter. I checked the paper bag earlier and it was 65-70%. I got the impression it was time to put it into jars. I'll keep the lids off for a bit.

Day 69 of cycle - day 32 of flowering.. My biggest plant in size since I started growing 3 years ago.. I qm really happy with what is coming out of this besuty gelato.. I am impressed by the growth and health of this babe.. many branch sides with many top buds.. the smell is amazing, that good gelato we all know.. let’s fatten it up and I can’t wait to smoke it.. let’s go

So letzte Woche wurden die Ladys nur noch mit Wasser gegossen, diese Woche auch und dann geht’s zum trockenen 🥦✌️

Well 8 week into flowering. STATISTIC says 8-10. But everything stat wise went out the window😳😳 now im strictly looking at crystals and hair with yellowing of leaves.. Im still waiting on my loupe to see crystals.. Smell is weak if any..

Really looking and smelling lush....that centre cola man.... its a masssivvvveee

Week 7 of Flower going well, plants seem to be stressed a little bit though I believe it's either some slight nute burn or a nute lockout caused by overfeeding. Runoff EC coming out about 200 higher than the input also runoff ph is around 5.4-5.5 which to me indicates slight overfeeding. Going to feed one more week every other day with a watering in between each feeding ph'd to 5.7, than I will start my 2 week flush using clearex by botanicare and plain ph'd water. Some nice purples have also started to really come out this week and the trichomes are constantly packing on.

Plants are lookin really healthy. Smell are getting stronger. Switching to bloom cycle next week
