I just wanted to let the people know about topping and the benefits and when I did my research there was not much for documentary purposes very great results super cropping is a must and topping to create more nodes

Not quite ready. I will give her another week.

Sept 12 - into week 6 of Flower for most of the strains, like Congo #3, Ford pink kush etc - LSD is heading into week 7 of Flower, with a prediction of 9 weeks needed. Getting close... - Russian Tzar Bomba is now in week 8. Big dinner Tomorrow, how do you say, The Last Meal w/ nutes. Flush follows - Green Planet buffet + Amino Acid + Silica + Calimag, like the other two 13th - russian tzar bomba is in great shape. Here at the start of her Last week in Flower; week 8 as per Nukeheads, she been fed and will be flushed for the next week. Clipped a small bud mid-plant and will scope it this aft. Def Amber, Def Cloud, still clear ones all over. Bloody gorgeous - her trichomes show a lot of Amber presence and right now its about flushing her. She is ready. Let her dry a bit and flush Thursday and follow-up accordingly. Sunday maybe = CHOP. These buds are real firm and becoming irregular - picture 13 is from one of the higher concentration spots where amber was found... nice to see, I'm ready at this end 14th - tomorrow the Soil will be Amended for the Final application: Worm Castings: Bat Guano: Kelp Meal: Bloom Boost fert: Azomite. Scratched-in and Watered through. Volumes are directed at a 15-20 gal pot for the Soil Amendments - Microbe / Enzyme Tea scheduled for Saturday. Hope to get a bit o rain in between - turns out the Congo #3 has really gobbled up alot of moisture and she is recovering well from an overwatering 15th - honduras x Panama, Panama Red, LSD and Black Tunas each had their Soil Amended, after they were fed. - Panama Red is pushing red/pink hairs all over the entire plant. So beautiful to have 2 pink pistil covered plants, right beside each other. Decadent - LSD is consuming Overdrive instead of Rezin, and has been for a couple meals. One more on the 17th then thats it. 16th - its been decided to go and photograph these plants early tomorrow morning. Tirednof the high-noon stuff. Soft light and some Canna-porn ooh aah 17th - actually got face to face with (Ford) Pink Kush x Vanilla Frosting plant. Its producing a really nice string if Medium-sized Nugs. Looks great and she’s strong and solid - LSD given her last Nutrient packed meal… end of week 8 tomorrow. Flush is coming in a series of fresh-water rinses… (tues/wed = lites-out. Make the best use of this sun)

Everything is going great. I transplanted to final pots. 5 gallons. Turned on the 400w mh and getting excited. No complaints, no problems.

Pheno 1 der Gigant riecht sehr säuerlich fruchtig und hat eine ganz andere Knospenstruktur. Vom Geruch her ist Pheno 1 von den beiden mein favorit...guckt auf meine harvest woche da sind neue Bilder drinne after two weeks curing pheno 2 😉🌿✂️

Fun week in that i felt like I watched the buds swell. My girls are all healthy again and my anxiety is once again subsided (for this part of my life). I have stopped all LST for my plants and I am getting a more consistent grow.

7/16 some plants are showing yellowing in the leaves and one the plants has branches drooping. theyre flimsy as is. same plant is showing airy buds, almost no bud structure. maybe will pack on weight a little bit? probably not 7/18 could be a nitrogen issue. considering theyre autos, i shouldve dialed it back before flower 7/22 plants are still throwing out pistils

Day 50: Girls are looking great! 💪 A couple of them are a little further along than the others. Pistils are starting to change colors. PPM's going in are higher than runoff PPM. No change in the PH. In at 6.5 and out at 6.5.... Still have some rust spots. Still thinking that I need to dial in my light distance/intensity. Day 51: Got one girl that the issue of rust spots is not going away. Not getting worse, but just will not leave. Other than that they are still bulking up and looking beautiful. Can't wait to start checking the tric's! Using AN Big Bud for a couple feeds and MOAB for a couple of feeds. Have been feeding every water as my output PPM's are less than what is going in. Will keep this cycle until needed to flush or an issue occurs.. Day 52: No new updates. They still look basically the same as 5 minutes ago when I checked em!! 😂😂 Day 53: Went ahead and ran 2 gallons of PH'd water through them. This rust spot issue is driving me crazy!!! Will just use PH'd water for a day or 2 and hope that it stops! Day 54: Well, no new spots that I see. Probably too early to tell, but I feel better about it :) Day 55: No new updates today. Watered with Recharge. Day 56: The girls look wonderful and smell the same. Gave them a good defoliation today as they were extremely bushy! Thanks, B for the pointers!! 👊

First week off flowering

11.12.2025 Her smell is wonderful and she got even stickier than ever. What a strain! The split main-stem is growing fantastically and the main-bud is reaching the top again. She is very thirsty and nearly everyday I have to refill her container, even if it is just 5 or 6 litres. Definetely she will take much longer than her Agent Orange Company. 🌸💜

Rough start to this blackberry but she's getting there.

The main cola is so huge 💪🏻💚

Hello growers, This week marks an important step in the development of the Pineapple Upside Down from Humboldt. The plant has now been moved into the flowering tent. The main reason for this change is simply to give the plant more space and to benefit from better environmental control. The larger tent allows improved airflow and more stable climate management, which should help the plant maintain a healthier rhythm moving forward. Even though the light fixture changed, the spectrum remains the same. The plant is still running under a 3500K spectrum, so there should be no real shock from a lighting perspective. Light intensity has been kept around 600 PPFD, which means the plant continues growing under conditions that are very similar to what it was used to previously. Some environmental adjustments were also made this week. The VPD has been increased slightly to around 0.8–0.9 in order to encourage stronger transpiration and improve nutrient uptake. Last week the plant showed a small slowdown in growth and overall vigor. The leaves were slightly droopy and the plant looked a bit less energetic than usual. After reviewing the parameters, the most likely explanation was a pH drift upward toward 6.2–6.3. While this range is not catastrophic, it can reduce the plant’s ability to absorb certain nutrients, especially nitrogen, which could explain the temporary slowdown that was observed. The pH has now been corrected and brought back down to around 5.8, allowing it to naturally fluctuate between 5.5 and 5.9. Since this adjustment is very recent, the plant will need a few days to fully respond to the correction. Earlier in the week, the EC had been increased to 2.0 to test the possibility of a nutrient deficiency. Toward the end of the nutrient solution cycle, the mixture was slightly diluted with osmosis water in order to rebalance the EC and avoid pushing the plant too hard. This week was also used to work heavily on the plant’s structure. A topping combined with a strong defoliation was performed. The canopy was opened up significantly, removing a large amount of leaf mass to improve airflow, light penetration, and overall structure. It was not a light cleanup — the plant was trimmed quite aggressively in order to reset the canopy properly. The plant originally had four main apexes, and each of those was topped again. This now creates approximately sixteen main growth points. With sixteen apexes, the plant structure is now approaching the intended final architecture. From this point forward, the main objective is simply to allow the plant to recover from this fairly heavy pruning session, regain strength, and stabilize before any further training. Over the coming days and weeks, the focus will be on observing how the plant responds to the pH correction, the environmental adjustments, and the recent structural work. For now, everything appears to be back under control. We’ll see how she responds over the next week. Alright growers, take care and see you next week.

Mandarin XL auto has snapped out of the heavy nutrition mutation. She is making grow progress. Things are going in the right direction. 🤞🏻it keeps going smooth. Thank you Meduc Grow, Gen1:11, and Ganja Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Day 23 of flower, 50ish remaining. Alright, another smooth week 😁 Got some sugar forming on the leaves that looks pretty and is getting me excited 😁 I started using the Co2 this week as well as the terpinator. Might invest in an oscillating fan to help distribute the co2 better. Got some colas forming (I counted very roughly 75ish main colas). The leaves also really have that distinctive sativa appearance. The trash basket to hang the co2 is a great idea if your thinking of one in the future. Not much of a smell really yet. I DO have one question this week tho. Should I do a little defoliation on some of the lower fan leaves as its getting quite bushy in there again but I dunno if I should mess around with the buds forming now. Thanks in advance for the help and thanks for following along fam, I really enjoy the chit chattin about the ganja.

Day 80 This morning I started defoliating Tropicana. She will be in the darkness for the next days. I already harvested a part of the head flower and let it dry trimmed. Because of extreme weather conditions and very high humidity I got a little bud rott. I found it out quit early I think. So I hope nothing will not happen any more. Just harvesting relaxed and drink a Tropicana tee. Day 81 I decided to cut her down in the evening. The humidity in the basement room is high and I don‘t want to risk here anything anymore. Waiting for my first homegrown weed to be vaped. Day 82 Tropicanas flowers hanging to dry in my basement. I check them once per day with a strong light. Day 83 Same same. The smell is wonderful like a bit of gas combined with a fruity flower bouquet. Our neighbors in the house like the smell, too. 🙏 Day 84 I could try my first homegrown weed. It‘s absolutely tasty and have a very smooth vape. I was very surprised cause it‘s not cured yet. A longer vape report will follow when it‘s dried and cured. Day 88 All flowers, sugar- and tee leafs are trimmed and filled in glasses for curing. I open twice per day for 20 minutes. Boveda packs 58% inside. I will fill out the rest of the diarie when my buds are dried, cured and vaped. So far this was a very exciting journey for me. Growing cannabis and even legal on our balcony. Feels still a bit unreal, but it’s real! Thank you for reading my diary! Thanks to all the people who worked on legalizing cannabis in Germany, especially to the „Deutscher Hanfverband (DHV)“! I will give more updates and write a vape report after curing several weeks. Maybe with some Tropicana Cookies baked in Comfreys garden kitchen.

Ending the fifth week of flower, we are humming right along. Needless to say, weeks 1 to 4 of flower is where the hard work comes into play (pre and post flower top dressings, PPFD light adjustment, defoliation, structure netting, etc.). Now, it's just a matter of ensuring good health until harvest. Towards end of this week five, you can see the canopy of buds gaining in density and weight. I'll continue to gauge whether or not a second netting is needed. The super soil medium was top dressed at the end of week four, so that's it in terms of feeding. The final tea will take place at end of week six. Thereafter, ph'd water until harvest. The estimated harvest window is January 28 (day 56) to February 11 (70 days). Aside from the physical beauty of these girls, the smell is getting stronger by the day. Installing new carbon filter today. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my journal, it is very much appreciated. I'll provide an update same day same time next week. 😎
