Aug 1: strong start to the week- it鈥檚 been hot and sunny lately and this will be our third and final day at 30 C. Lemon Cream Kush looks great and is flowering now after two full weeks of force flowering (12h of darkness). Aug 4: added another loose Scrog net layer to hold it together but to also allow separation of the colas to expose them to sunlight. Aug 5: plants in this wagon are getting too big to move easily into garage. Will stop forcing and switch back to 15.5 h of daylight in yard. Still using far red light at dusk as a bloom booster.

End of the third week of the stretch and they certain out did stretch indeed馃槼. Had to crop over the tallest female - she just stretched wayyy too much and that鈥檚 gonna go against her in the rankings when we draw out our seed on each plant. The first male has dropped fully and the others are another 1-2 days out from harvest. We鈥檒l collect all that pollen and store it for future use if it鈥檚 needed. The plants are all showing both similarities and differences - there鈥檚 an even distribution of sativa and indica leaning phenos which suggests that there is def. Some variability in terms of traits for this F1 generation. Exactly what we were looking for as we pare this down to the second filial generation. On the overall growth - absolutely no issues at all with nutritional deficiencies which is a welcome change of pace. The last while we鈥檝e been growing some strains that have shown very odd reactions to nute changes and I suspect this is a result of certain strains simply being bred out too far. Hard to say but the radar is definitely up with the well known breeders right now. We have some real winner pheno clones that we鈥檝e rooted and will be flowering out once we get this tent cleaned up and free of pollen. All told, the run is progressing much better than anticipated and with the rate of turnover through transition, I鈥檓 happy to say that there isn鈥檛 any one plant I won鈥檛 consider test running on the next cycle. We did have some og auto genetics in the tent for pollination as well but that plant is looking like a bit of a mutant. Not sure if we鈥檒l even bother with testing it at this point but you never know. Expect a harvest update on the males as we move in to the flowering side of the grow and then it鈥檚 just waiting around for seed馃憤. Alls well for now. Background This project has been a year in strain selection (and another year in the actual making) to get to this point with a viable potential cross. It鈥檒l be a true polyhybrid with a mix of sativa and indica leaning properties for each. We鈥檝e combined an especially powerful hybrid sativa strain of Strawberry with an equally manageable and hard hitting strain of indica dominant Skywalker OG. The hope has always been to combine them and boil out the best characteristics of each. The strawberry is phenomenal in terms of terp profile and a mix of strong head and body effects while the Skywalker is a mind bending, body butter kind of indica with that earthy Kush profile and flowery undertones. The strawberry is prone to botrytis and fasciation but features excellent terps and yields if grown correctly. She鈥檚 Also stretchy and somewhat unruly when she gets going. The Skywalker is a contrast in growth characteristics with a squat structure, medium sized buds and excellent resilience and resistance. The plan is to seed out the available females and take cuts of what we can post-stretch to get a closer look at any differing phenos. Still very much early stages for a stabilized new strain but we鈥檝e got the right foundation of solid genetics. Now we just gotta get it off the ground to the next generation馃憤. We鈥檙e predominantly focused on the plants that demonstrate that hybrid vigour and wasting no time with any problem plants or runts. Stay tuned - with a little luck, this cross is gonna be straight 馃敟馃槑馃憣.

After germinating the seeds are transplanted into small pots with soil (see tutorial in VIDEO above). The soil is prepared with water mixed with a little bit of BIO NOVA Roots (0,5 ml/l), which aids the development of the seedling. Transplanting is very easy now, because they have grown a STRAIGHT tap-root while hanging during the SERIOUS' WAY of germination. This straight root allows for easy potting of the seeds. Simply make a little hole in the center of the soil with your pinky finger and carefully place the germinated seed with the white root pointing DOWNWARDS into the hole. Best is to lay it onto one side-wall of the hole with the seed shell right at the surface. Then I push the other side inwards and enclose the whole root with soil. At the end only the top of the seed-shell peeks out of the soil. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to plant the seeds NOT TO DEEP into the soil. The seedling only needs extra strength to work itself upwards thru the soil and you run the risk of the soil drying out and the seed dying off. When you PLANT THE SEED VERY SHALLOW into the soil (=with the top of the seed-shell still peeking out) your seedling can grow out right away and you have a small plant already 24 hours after putting the seed into the soil. The small seedling sometimes still has the seed-shell on its 'head', it normally falls off by itself, but sometimes you have to carefully help and take it off with your finger nails. Be careful to NOT clip of the seedling accidentally when you do this! The seed-shall has an inner lining, which feeds the small seedling when it germinates. This inner lining sometimes gets tangled around the stem of the small seedling after the shell has fallen off. This little skin MUST be taken off the stem right away! Once it dries up, it gets hard and can strangulate the seedling around the stem. In order to avoid this, the skin must be taken off as soon as possible! I show it in the pics above and also made a video about taking off the inner lining of the seed.

Hi growmies, The plants are in full flower now and have been defoliated after the hst of last week and seems like she has recovered. I had removed the filter and vent from the box and have the vent suck the air out of the box into the carbon filter, which gave me another 10 cm to play with. The plant consumes around 2 l of nutrient solution in 24 hours. This whole experience is howling me that I have to change the system in the box as I loose to much height with the grow table and the rockwool blocks. Will probably run a 20 l DWC in it, that I am currently working on.

I gave her a trim 3 days ago exposed as much productive bud sites as possible and just gonna watch her grow. some very smelly buds it will give me hopefully... The humidity is giving me no issue yet but i need to drop her some more trying for 30% ... Dinafem genetics are spot on very happy with this plant as my first grow..

Nothing new to report. I鈥檓 away for work again. I had a friend check in the tent a couple of days ago and have been checking via the camera. The main two continue to grow strong and I鈥檝e just let the little one keep growing to see how far she鈥檒l go.

Eccoci qui... Per problemi di lavoro ho tardato un p貌 la pubblicazione delle foto, la piccola 猫 molto vigorosa ed emana un forte odore.. Gi脿 si pu貌 vedere la resina che si inizia a formare sulle cime in alto... La pi霉 alta del box anche se, credo non faccia cime giganti, sono molto contento che ha questo colore viola intenso nelle foglie, spero in un fenotipo pi霉 violaceo... Grazie a tutti per il supporto, NON VEDO L'ORA DI RACCOGLIERLA 馃敟馃尣鉂わ笍

I'm going to switch up I guess to Advanced Sensi Bloom A+B. So to get ready for this, me and chatgpt came up with a plan. Tomorrow I will flush out everyone with cal mag water, reset them, and then slowly start to introduce Advanced Nutrients. 1-16 Day 84 Day 38 - Resetting for Advanced Nutrients today! - Per Gallon: 0.5ml Cal Mag, 2ml SLF - 33ppm @ 6.0ph - 6000ml, runoff is 406 @ 5.8ph - Will start low with the new Advanced A+B tomorrow per Chat GPT Best smell EVER!!! Hands Down! She is so pretty, and again...that smell! I can't get enough. Fred is still doing amazing...except Guy keeps looking at him like it's his next lunch. So, I'm not sure how long Fred has....poor Fred.

I'm sorry I'm 4 weeks behind here guys, it's been a busy period in my life. So here we have a mixed grow, as you can see everything is growing well. I've been LSTing these plants since day 1, the results are a nice evn canopy and plenty of tops. Used the biotabs lineup this time around with a light dose of micro nutrients for veg. Working great There are 2x Power Kush 2x PPP 2x Chemdawg 2x White Widow Thanks for following

Hung up my new California Lightworks UVB supplement light. I think I originally hung it a bit too close (18 inches from canopy) based on the subtle color change in the leaves, so I raised it up to 24" above the canopy. I was most certainly skeptical, since this is my first time using UVB, but even over the course of its first week under the bulbs I've notice a visible increase in trichomes. Now I guess won't know whether or not this would have happened anyway, but the sticky diamond coated buds sure are making me smile. 馃榿

End of the 3rd week for the Orange Sherbet. She just got fed Goldleaf feterlizer. It's been a slow process with ups and downs. I encounter a few issues, but she's still hanging in there. Hopefully week 4 is better. I still got faith in her.

I am dropping a RSV11 from Terpyz mutant Genetics. I ightly scuffed the seed ends, and dropped it in the water. I will wait 24 to 48 hours or as soon as I see a tap root. Nothing else to report on at the moment.

this week I saw the beginning of flowering:) the girl is growing very slowly, but definitely with beautiful, strong branches, I think there will be wonderful flowers:) which I will have to wait to see :) basically everything looks good:) I think in about 2 weeks I will give her more space, because the Mimosa growing nearby will already be ready for harvest :) so the whole growing box will be left only for this lady:) good luck to everyone:).
