Got a little hot outside this week again and temps in the tents reached a high of 92. They hovered around 85-88 most of the time, and nighttime temps around 75. The plants have been loving the tropical like environments, and in fact showing less signs of stress now they are in warmer temps. I got my magnesium dialed back in with a few applications of Epsom Salt. The pants drank twice as normal this week. I also gave them a feeding with my fermented fruit juice I made and they seem to be loving it. I got a new bottle of cal-mag and does not seem to be as acidic, so i can add a little more than I was without it ruining my ph. It too about 15ml per gallon of the FFJ to Ph my water down form 7.8 to 6.5. I tested it before use and its PH is around 2.5. Between the Epsom salt, FFJ, and kelp. The plants are really starting to bounce back from their slight unhappiness. They are all looking near 100 percent health. At the end of the week they are are raging and praying to the light like theirs no tomorrow. Glowing vibrant lush green, the buds are also already a decent size for only being week 2. The plants and in much need of some defoliation but I will wait one more week after stretch to get that taken care of. The dehumidifier running during night cycle has been keeping things in check. The clones rooted and I potted them up to 1 gallon so I now have small moms. I got new worms and my worm bins cleaned out and set up again. Each of the 65 gallon pots got a small ball of worms added to the top soil to get the worm populations growing in them again. I was hoping those casting I added a few weeks ago with added worm eggs would hatch some but no luck so i just got some from Uncle Jim's worm farm.

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati qui con me e le sorelle Mimorange🍊😉 Ragazzi! Mai visto niente del genere!!! La pianta numero 2 e la numero 3 hanno letteralmente raddoppiato la loro circonferenza.💪 Per non parlare dei colori, i pistilli iniziano a diventare arancioni e con il giallo e le varie tonalità di verde dei buds la rendono molto affascinante.😍 L odore ormai ha preso il sopravvento nella tenda, e sta cambiando in meglio. Note dolci di caramella si mischiano all intenso profumo di Arancia.🤤 Eh niente ragazzi! La più bella pianta che ho mai fatto..... forse lo dico ogni nuova corsa🤣😂🤣 ..... ma questa volta è davvero strabiliante la grassezza di queste cole!🔝 Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti.🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱 🌱

08/09/2020/ start of week 3 flowering, I think I'm seeing P deficiency? Watered her with LAB to see if it helps going to put a couple spikes of 4-9-3 around the outer rim, and water in with more LAB to get the microbial army mobilized.🙏

#WEEK21 - HODL Bad news. It's not time yet. still. i think. 😔 And scratch that, i am not harvesting early because of some theoretical schedule / information on the internet. But.. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? 😱 Well, trichomes haven't changed a bit again, at least to my perception. Only the top most buds of SMC show a few amber ones, although the plant feels a bit "crunchy" and matured now. Therefore a lot of the lower buds grew fresh calyxes, and a few upper ones, too. Someone was right around here, probably should have removed a few more of the lower buds after stretch. But there's also a good cop: i found out my phone can take rather decent macro shots (though resizing of growdiaries doesnt seem to work well, will put a bit more effort in in the upcoming entry). It's on the edge even to check the color of trichomes. And holy moly, SMC is so photogenic, like big "ooof" 😍. Lively colors all around, frost like a tree on christmas (can you please tell me what to do, when leaves are 100% covered in trichomes, shouldnt be this A+ material was well?). Skywalker on the other hand is the "shy one", however i am sure is going to shine soon. Also very lovely coloration on top buds. And the smell starts to mature as well: Skywalker super fresh lemony, SMC sweet-fruitiness with a touch of coolness - tempting! Forgot CalMag this week. Shouldnt matter at all that close to the end. In fact the tips of some leaves started to turn a bit rusty. Cant believe it has been 10/11 weeks of flowering so far, going to need a break after this run for sure. 😜

This was a solid week but my PH keeps dropping. PPM dropped from 780ish to 560 so I know she's eating. Buds are forming nice and compact for their first week of actually forming. Other than the PH problem that I'm correcting daily until my fresh res change, my tallest stalk in the back grew into the light so hopefully those buds don't bleach! Open to constructive criticism btw!

Week went good some are further along then others but they all looking beautiful fan leaves starting to yellow and purple and such on some then others they just stretching still they won’t all finish at same time I don’t think but it’s ok

Blue Shark is looking fab! Still a darker green than everyone else. There are 2 videos this week, one where I explain how my plan for a tomato roof using materials I already had didn't work out, and the 2nd being about the rogue who grew in my pea bed (whom I affectionately call "Rogue One") who has been raised almost exclusively on my homemade compost. I had people who were concerned last year when I made my own compost tea from the compost in my pile. People were concerned about bacteria, nutrient profile, etc. I feel like a lot of people get really regimented in their feeding, and they sort of forget that these are plants and they can adapt. They take what they need if it's available. I moved away from using mineral salts this year because you have to be careful with so many of these fertilizers so that you don't burn the plant, you have to flush it so you don't get a harsh smoke, mineral salts causing lockout, etc. If you stick with products that are natural you don't really have to worry about nute burn. You don't have to flush for an extended period of time before harvest. You don't have salts building up in the soil that are detrimental that you have to periodically flush and then add beneficial microbes back in. There is another way.

Day 3 of life for this little lady. Really excited to run the new fast buds tester Russian autoflower. She is a happy life living lady so far. Let’s see what she has to show us.

these are big plants! They are doing big things!!!! The buds are really taking shape! Its gonna be a good harvest & BIG trim! Gorilla cookies started a bit late, and then topped itself so its a bit behind but its coming into its own and its gonna be good bc it always is!!!!

In this week, the Acapulco Gold, GMO, and Glookies successfully germinated and grew into little seedlings, while the first "anonymous" germination attempt failed.

After 3 days they are already starting to pop! This is going to be a good run.

This week I top all 8 Green Poison ( 4dwc and 4 coco ) clones. They look healthy and happy and few days later I already start to low stress training (LST) them.

Good week, slow going but huge plants, sativa side definitely showing on these ones. Careful with the nutrients and make sure to use cal mag. Thanks everyone

The babies 😍 have a beautiful look and colors, they seem quite filled with resin. Now the drying phase of 15 days begins after which I will complete the trimming and weigh it. By eye I can say that it will be about 100gr per plant

So this is how things are looking at the end of Week 8, not much to update, bud sites forming nicely. Uploaded a video which explains better.

Things (finally) started to stink this week. Started the flush on Tuesday, hoping next Thursday will be the day I shut the lights off on her and Friday will be harvest day! About 50% of the trichomes are cloudy at this point, so the original 84 day timeline seems pretty accurate!

5.07.24 Nice and slow

Harvested

This one is a wrap… Hang Dry for as long as possible and well be testing later 🚀🚀🚀 GHL
