The buds are bulking and a slight defoliation was done to expose the inner buds. The next week will be the last week of Nitrogen and flush will begin soon. Harvest in approx. 3 weeks

She was a great girl all the way around. tired new Genetics and was not disappointed. Would grow her again. She smells super sweet and yielded pretty well. Stoked on her 👌🏻

2018-04-10 Day 1 I gave the girls water and nutrients yesterday so nothing to drink today. Turned them 90 degrees today, to give my girls as much lightexposure as possible. The flowers get bigger and bigger for each day, Overall the ladies look really good, the colors are very nice, they look healthy. Somehow the photos of nr1 got lost, very strange, but great pics of nr2. Also added videos of them both. Power Plant XL nr 1 is 67 cm Power Plant XL nr 2 is 68 cm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Strain information Genetics for the famous Power Plant were captured by a group of Dutch growers on a trip to South Africa, back in the 90’s. They managed to breed a strain that was soon a popular choice in coffee shops of the Netherlands, most likely due to the soaring and intense Sativa high. Zambeza Seeds thought that the productiveness of Power Plant should never be forgotten and created an updated version, to bring the legend back to live. Power Plant XL yields up to 600-750g/m² in a flowering period of approximately 55 days! The efficiency and productiveness of Power Plant XL fears no comparison with many recently bred cannabis strains. Indoor heights of 80-110cm make this sativa-dominant variety relatively easy to grow, but outdoor growers need to be aware of the power that is being released under the sun. Outdoor plants can easily reach heights of 150-200cm, and yields of 500-600g per plant. The taste of Power Plant XL can be described as a delightful blend of sweet and sour flavours, with subtle hints of pine tree in the background. Smokers who appreciate a very strong and uplifting Sativa high will be more than satisfied with the effects. One will experience feelings of euphoria that are definitely intense and uplifting, typical for a South African Sativa like this. The up-high can also evolve into being more relaxed, especially when larger quantities are being consumed. Some people suspect Power Plant to be grown in large commercial operations around the world. It doesn’t really matter if these assumptions are the truth or myths, but Zambeza’s breeders are very proud to bring this highly productive legend back to live. The updated version of it, Power Plant XL, is the most efficient Dutch "bud factory" money can buy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8/23 All is well and a little distraction into oddness 8/25 satisfied with her progress in flower, no fade anywhere ever but this strain does not fade hard. Running her as long as she will go and keeping a steady supply of nuets to her, gotta love organic PS Zombie Quasimodo continues to build colas and first buds with a monster-cropped kind of look. Our little diversion into the odd is actually giving me ideas about monster cropping in the future, bud sites almost everywhere on the branches. pic later 8/28 D54 Still going and building bud Fed a 1 to 3 mix of biogrow and bloom nothing else The zombie is still kicking looking well if odd

Day 42 350ml plain rain Well sh*t - prob moved to next set lower fans - to be expected - don't take leaves off a sick plant! anyhoo - only took 5 off - so: Def got calmag probs - overfed that - def got potassium prob - Q is still "Over or Underfeed" A is still F knows Mitigating factors are [A] that she has a lot of flower and could be crying out for nutes [B} I did misread nutes and for first 6wks was overfeeding in conflict w premix soil [C] Stardawg had exact same nutes schedule and is NOT showing signs and [D] mycorrhizal addition to soil caused probs in bot Forbidden Runtz and Stardawg - so it could be chemlock - which would be the worst coz flush only solution and I don't flush! pH 6.9 rH 45-55 Temp 22-27C Solutions: 1] H2O diet for wk and monitor - check - (day2: lower leaves further displaying calmag/potassium/phosphorous signs) 2] Nitrates to solve potassium - top dress may help - but again, I think I've overfed in conflict with soil premix, so... 3] Calmag burn is almost certainly overfeed - minimize and monitor that when nutes reintroduced << OK - basically I must have a chemlock because I have overfed but almost as importantly - the watering schedule [I water every morning under 24hr] does let the soil dry every day - some plants can handle it - Stardawg can as well as Big Bud - FR can't. So Will give her double H2O for cpl days and see. Will also pH adjust - she is in range for everything for absorption but nit if getting repeated daily chemlock - so might as well pH adjust if semi-flushing >> << Decision >> Right, I have got some serated edge tip burn in next level fans - these being last indica factory leaves - those of the lower level I left on are sick as and will come off, but leaving everything else on. She didn't seem to mind the flush - put gallon through in two goes (one was her daily water) - not much leaf twisting - buds looks good and I think that is the point ... they're doing fine from the over nute - but the veg material not so. Going to repeat flush tomorrow am but only 1/2 gal and leave her to dry out and then back to her h2O diet till Day 7 [tomorrow am will be day 3] btw flush pumped rH up to 60 so had to leave doors open all day 😕 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH 😞😠>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Just been going over leaves after defoliating and found.... spider mites .... not nutrient based and not WPM thank the stars. Referring to the grow diaries collective - need advice Well - defoliated heavily - now know - it is wk 2/3 flowering and I was holding off on defoliating Just in Case it was chemlock BUT now I know I would be removing the most infested leaves - I went nuts and did a full sativa stage defoliate - irony is if I did it straight away this might not have happened. Gotta give props to BraveHeartGenetics - genius solution and will be borrowing my friends little handheld vacuum - she is a clean freak so will be perfect, Wind power very clean solution. Video in honor of BraveHeartGenetics - I need a joint now. Day 43 Well the spider mites are def under control. Vacuumed plants. was fine - used a dyson handheld with wide hose so could get whole leaf in without it flailing around against sides and getting damaged. Got her hands to the sky for first time in ages - good to see. Hopefully the defoliation also helps get her back in the groove - now know it's not totally nutrient based - that said of course mites screw with transpiration and chlorophyll levels so you know - not great - but hopefully over. Further to this I added a fan and a dehumidifier w 600ml capacity -should be enough to make the climate tough for mites. The last 24hrs can go screw themselves, but got some great advice so grateful as 😊 No water and suspended flushing - she looks happier I will still keep theH2O diet going and of course check for mites regularly Day 44 350ml plain rain water. Hands to the sun! omg she hasn't looked this good in wks! thank the stars 😅 Day 45 300ml plain rain - - pic she's a bit droopy but she's still having transpiration probs and has just been watered - she'll manage Day 46 300ml plain rain she still looked a little forlorn so I got the loupe out and sure enuff - more beasties. <<SO>> Got my vacuum out and cleaned the nozzle - it is an unregulated (sssshhh not v green) 1700W monster about twenty yrs old - Vacuuming your Bud [METHOD] I found it necessary to go at the buds from the side as well as top down (don't vacuum from underneath even though that's where the beasties are - I didn't even try - you will damage the plant) The nozzle was big enough to encapsulate a whole bud and it's leaves - so I repeated this motion [ahem] 1/2 dozen times and moved onto next bud I vacuumed every bud in this manner After, I checked known sites with my loupe I saw no mites - but some larvae still there So I vacuumed all again in same manner After final check I saw no larvae - I'm sure there are some remaining [RESULT] Leaf damage - very little - any heat/nute damaged tips got frayed, but the leaf veins / structure / stomata - underside leaf hairs / trichomes / pistils - no damage at all. OVERALL health condition of plant after vacuuming compared to as found: 9/10 AMMNDMNT << 6/10 >> FEED HER AFTER! Very few mites on plant & bonus: all the leaves are now conveniently 'hands to the sky'. OVERALL effectiveness in removing mites: 8/10 [CONCLUSION] I think the plant thoroughly loves this - provided it is not a routine affair, it is left in it's healthy pose - with most of a parasite removed. That said, I think it is a process that requires repeating, like a course of antibiotics; twice a day for a number of days - or spaced over several days between vacuuming, perhaps in accordance with / dictated by... spider mite life cycle. Finally - I know it sounds counter intuitive but DO use a POWERFUL Vacuum - The handheld Dyson 300 Whilst ok, just didn't do as well as my full size 1700W - result being I didn't significantly affect the mite numbers - thus a waste of time 8 hrs later she is looking fine - will repeat tomorrow Day 47 No vacuuming today - ADDED CONCLUSION - I f you have to do this - FEED her afterwards - with maybe a protracted dark spell She is looking so sick - the upside of the leaf damage you can't see but also expect she robbed her leaves of nutes as she has got lock out Going to put her in the dark for a bit - got photos will update after She had 3:1000ml Big Bloom 2:1000 Tiger Bloom Grow Big 1:1000 Calmag in 400ml plain rain water Day 48 No watering to day She actually looks good - checked her over for mites again - all clear - in evening thought maybe even a bit more color to her - maybe just lights were dimmed lol

They are looking healthy and the stems are very strong. Excited to see how big these nugs get with this bud candy. Week 4 today. My grow is always frosty. For some reason a lot of people have told me my grow is the best they have ever had. I’ve tasted other growers grow and their stuff wasn’t as good as mine. Definitely have a great green thumb in growing.!

Week 2 vegetation for the Apricot from fastbuds 420. All good at the moment, we are testing the xpert line with these girls. 1ml of master grow A+B 1ml of master root We removed the 2 lowest sets of leaves and branches. We do this because we have the girls in 7 liters and quite some plants together, so i prefer to concentrate on the main bud and only some side buds

This week was good, stopped feeding nutes, ro water only, the buds are so solid, nice and thick. Didn’t think this was going to be so big, the 16”x16” fits the growbed perfect, it the plant is a little cramped, a 24”x24” would be perfect, as the branches would be able to droop more and allow more light to some lower growth. However after this I’m using these tents to do smaller scrog plants, which are photos. And I’ll do the auto-flowers in a more open environment.

Update coming.

Day 141. Girl is thriving, but now nobody will close greenhouse for nights and watering will be very limited... In two weeks I am back and will give her all TLC she will want. She is the healthiest plant in all greenhouse ;) Happy Growing !!!

Estoy en la ultima semana todo salio genial vamos por ese secado y curado

20cm vertical growth this week. Not quite gone into flowering yet but she is very close. This will be her last veg week for sure.

I harvested 2 of the 5 plants on day 71. The other 3 plants got harvested on day 80 and are in the drying process. My inline fan is running on 25% and I got a fan running on the lowest setting on the bottom of the tent, so I doesnt blow on the buds directly.

i really like the progression going on The second week of flowering/bloom has started and her bud already looks like they have reached week 3. I raised the ec just a little, i have my own kind of supersoil (cow and chicken fertilizer mixed soil) on the bottom for extra power. i had some minor nutrent burning, i think the roots are looking into the organic mix on the bottom. But that was on the older leaves, i will keep an eye on that. She looks so pretty, i keep staring at her every day...

2022-09-17 The journey of the Hella Jelly is over. Plants were supereasy to grow. all Seeds germinated, seedlings started strong, and in later Vegetation they were spreading. here they spuld have got more Training from me. Because they turned out quite bushy The branches had to carry Biiiig green Buds , covered with frosting and were bending over in the End, so they needed some Support. I was alittle worried because the Pistils stayed white/ green. then i read the straindescription and looked at Pictures again and i knew everything is fine Iam harvesting with cloudy/ amber Trichomes. Plants leaves were also fading and changing to autumn Im courious what the Buds show , if they are cured, and ready to be tested.

24.09.25 due to the weather outlook and fear of a powdery mildew revival it was time to harvest. I wet trimmed everything down to the buds and discarted all stems right away. The reason being that I want to accelerated drying and see each nug closely before putting it into the multi tier drying screen im using. In this process some smalls with mildew were identified and sent to compost. After a week flowers were placed in closed plastic buckets to get even moisture content. Further processing awaits.

Week 3 of flower and decided to start using PLAGRON: Green Sensation a week earlier. Pistils are appearing and maybe need some phosphorous and potassium. Quite a bit of stretching going on. Had to bend back a few stems to try even out canopy. Some burnt tips? From what? No idea. One of the strawberry cough seems to be taking longer to transition, still stretching and no pistils. Apart from the tip burns, which I’m hoping is because of my light being too close. (Adjusted higher now) It seems to be going OK, nothing great….
