12th week of happiness

Getting ready to take clones and flip them into flower in the next few weeks

Hey everyone 👋 Here's this week's update: Matcha is still small and I believe she'll stay like this but at the time she's doing better compared to last week, so that's a win. I wonder, did I do something wrong? Was it the lack of CalMag or maybe the heat? Maybe I got a weird phenotype? (I doubt this) or what else could've happened to her? The truth is there are tons of different things that could've caused this and I wish I could know what could've caused this (I'll be making a grow question regarding this). Pistachio on the other hand is doing well, she's huge compared to her sister and she grew a looooot this week! Some leaves are slightly dark and some tips are a bit too bright as well but there's no signs of burn so I assume she might be on her the limit! Personally I suppose the mycorrhizas might be the ones at fault in here. They make feeding more efficient so probably the "normal" dosage might be a bit too much for them... and for that reason alone I decided to lower the amount of Green Grow that I was using, hopefully that will help. 🙏 I also decided to give 10 weeks of vegetation to these plants. Hopefully Matcha will grow a little more during this time (she's still at 20cm) but at this moment I expect nothing from her, I'll just allow her to surprise me haha. 👻 Thanks for reading! See you all in the next update! 😃

Screw the stretch then. Full spectrum lighting from the top, the blue & red emitting from the "full spectrum" light only penetrates 1-2 layers of the leaf, the green wavelength will penetrate 4,5,6 layers, and the best ratio for flower growth is 1/2/1 R/B/G, and very little of the red and blue reaching lower parts of the plants or even the sides, flowers on lower parts of canopy receiving a majority of green will grow larf style buds, often lackluster, I supplement blue and red at the sides, I do not want to add more "full spectrum" this would double dose the green which penetrates deep. By the end of week, I'm looking at bud sites everywhere, the density is exceptional and above what i'm come to expect in week 1.5, it was the like plant skipped the stretch and went right to bud site production.

chopped at day 69 strong fuel-pine-lavender smell

Did some defoliation now that they are solid into flower, to keep air flow to cut down on chances of mold and to expose lower bud sites to sunlight. I also fertilized again with about 2 buckets of 14 total gallons of water with above nutes minus flora gro, at 1300 ppms aprox.

day 49 just pure water phed down. it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha! There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw. I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics. I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained. day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

3rd week of flower completed. They got a lollipop cut and a bit defoliation. Besides that I increased the light a bit to 950-1000 umol/m2/s, that’s a DLI of 41-43 mol/day. Nutrients got adjusted a bit. This week was overall a bit more chill because they stopped stretching so hard. I expect still a stretch but it shouldn’t be that much any more. Flowers start to build up more and more and there are already quite a lot of trichomes. At the moment I will push the plant regarding to light and the overall environment. But later on I will go for terp and trichome preservation and will lower the temps. Starting warm and getting colder to the end. Right now I aim for a VPD of 1.5-1.55 kpa. Let’s see how week 4 turns out.

Continuing with just feeding water for the plants as the medium is fortified for a few weeks of its growth. I moved the planters away from an exhaust so they would not get heat stress or wind. They seem to be liking it in there new home under my window on the deck.

so, it is in the middle of week 7, it‘s flowering and seems to be doing well, despite some mistakes made.. indeed, having wanted to perform a lst, I accidentally broke one of the main branches, which implies less buds at harvest, but hey I am already satisfied with the situation. I noticed some brown spots and yellowing of some leaves, so I fed the plant with 1 ml of biobizz-biobloom. I'll let you know how it's evolving.

At the end of week 10 I harvested all plants. I cut off all big fan-leaves and all other leaves that are bigger than my thumbnail and then cut the whole plant at the stem and hang them as a whole upside down in my tent. After 2 weeks of drying I try to bend a side-branch and if it breaks with a hearable sound, the buds are dry enough to put them into glass-pots for curing. After trimming the dried buds I put the two sides separately on the scale. One main cola of the LUMATEK side (=left side in tent) had bud-rot and had to be thrown out (=appr. 20 gram). The rest of the left side harvested 862 grams of dried buds. Divide the total (=882 gram) by the 600 Watt of power used by the ZEUS 600W PRO, the LUMATEK side yielded 1,47 GRAM PER WATT for this cycle. The right side with the two SANlight Q6W-Gen.2 lamps used 460 Watts of power (=including the dimming) and harvested 880 gram of dried bud, that is an EXCELLENT YIELD OF 1,91 GRAM PER WATT. Therefore I conclude my comparative LED-grow with a CLEAR VICTORY for the SANlight LEDs over LUMATEK! 👍😎 The SANlight achieved 0,44 GRAM PER WATT MORE THAN the Lumatek!

Girls are doing well with the LST. Kosher cake was topped last week and now has what looks like 8 heads. 3rd of June have given the girls living soil veg.

6cm vertical growth this week. She's doing well.

Routine maintenance on these girls

Second week of Veg and they are growing fast , very healthy, no deficiencies , perfect color green.

You walk into the back yard and it’s a straight face punch of smells. Looking like some indoor rn moved all plants to safer place in case storm hits so now I atleast have a wind break

Will update later

Here we are at week 6, day 43 already :) . Theses CBD20-1 are growing well no issues at all so far They seem to be able to handle full feeds with biobizz nutes I havnt really done much with theses girls , I have left them to grow naturally , I havnt even defoliated them . All in all everything seems to be going good with theses girls

23.3.25: Hulkberry 💜💚 is sprouted, and now progressing well. It was a slow start, as I did not soak the starter plug and the seed kept drying out. I also added more perlite than usual and so when I was watering the seed, everything was moving with the perlite. Now that we have broken soil, I did need to remove the shell as it had dried out and became stuck. It came off easily enough, and I did not cause any damage to the plant. The extra perlite should be fine now, as we have roots to keep us in place at last, as well as the starter plug. When I get some more coco I will top dress, as the level of the soil has lowered since it was filled due to the extra perlite. That probably won't be soon though. It will probably coincide with the normal top dress schedule. The super soil mix I made was approximately constituted 8 gallons of; ☆ 60% Canna Coco ☆ 30% Perlite ☆ 9% Worm castings ☆ 1% Organic dry amendments. - Ecothrive Life Cycle - Ecothrive Charge - Diatomaceous Earth - Ground Cinnamon - RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules - Great White Mycorrhizal Fungi blend Thanks for hanging out 🍃 ✌️ 💚 🙂
