If you're just joining us, we have these photo-dependant ladies vegging in our 48"x 24" VIVOSUN tent. I have been doing a lot of heavy defoliation and pruning the past week. I also made a few upgrades in the bloom tent and moved a few of the cultivars into bloom under 12/12. Also, I realized my BlueLab Conductivity Meter has the option to switch to EC. Since EC is the most accurate way to measure the nutrient concentration in a solution, I will now be measuring and reporting EC readings rather than PPM. I am honestly super stoked about every single plant in this run. That said, I think I am probably most impressed by the 🍭🎅🏻 COTTON CANDY CANE lady from Emerald Triangle Seeds. She is incredibly vigorous. She was started nearly a month after all the others (except the 🦍🍪 GORILLA x COOKIES) and has already caught up to some of the taller plants in the run. Special thanks to those guys for sending the freebies for me to try out! Definitely want to try more from this breeder! She is almost a month behind the other plants and is almost as tall as the tallest cultivars started on 8/10. All in all, everything looks great. Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. Now, for the weekly break down! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THIS WEEK'S BREAK DOWN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 9/30 - Day 52 for Majority of the Garden - 🍭🎅🏻 COTTON CANDY CANE: Day 26 - 🦍🍪 GORILLA x COOKIES: Day 39 °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 🎥 FILMING DAY! 🎥 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 10/1 - Day 53/Day1 of Bloom for Majority of the Garden - 🍭🎅🏻 COTTON CANDY CANE: Day 27/Day of Bloom - 🦍🍪 GORILLA x COOKIES: Day 40 °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 📸 PHOTOSHOOT! 📸 🎥 FILMING DAY! 🎥 👩‍💻 UPGRAYED! 👩‍💻 - Added a BOTANICARE 48" x 48" low-tide flood tray on top of six 4" tall cinder-blocks with a low-profile motorcycle oil-pan for the water to drain into beneath the flood tray. - I transplanted eleven cultivars into black 12" tall Active Aqua brand 12" x 12" square pots and inserted 3' fiberglass garden stakes into the center of the rootball near the main stem of each plant. Each stake goes to the bottom of the 12" pot. All transplants have nice solid root balls due to being slightly rootbound. I knew I'd likely run short on premixed soil, so I decided to transplant the largest plants first. Of course, I ran out of soil after 11 plants were transplanted. It seems like I used a lot more soil than usual with this method and in tgese pots. - I mixed a new batch of soil using the same recipe. I will give the five smallest gorls a few more days to grow taller. That will give this batch of soil a little time to innoculate. - I moved the 11 transplants into the 96" x 48"bloom tent under 12/12 lighting schedule. 🚿FEED DAY!🚿 She received approximately 1 gallon of solution. I mixed 12 gallons of solution for all the plants I have in flower. 1 gallon of that was then measured and fed to this cultivar. 👩‍🔬NUTRIENT SOLUTION👩‍🔬 ⬇️Mixing Rundown⬇️ The solution starts with 12 gal tap H2O through two kdf filters mixed in a 36 gallon reservoir.

Lots of dropping leaves , day 55 gave 3ml/l of bloom booster to all . They seem very hungry sour stomper 1 is super dense already topped sky stomper is slowly gaining weight for sure

Lunes 18 de marzo 2024, 3 de 3, germinación exitosa, entramos en fase de plántula 🌱, alumbramos con 100w directos, mantenemos en 18/6. No daremos nutrientes hasta el transplante.

Going well this week. Playing around with the cycle times courtesy of my new find, a 20$ repeat cycle timer. We will switch to flower as soon as the tent is available, hopefully do this entire grow on fog alone.😬 Root prune test, two plants on the right are getting pruned, the left are not. The goal is to build thick tap roots to form a beard-like rhizome. The largest root is roughly 5mm diameter. I believe it's working.

Topped to 4th node. Started brewing ~5l of neem/kelp/aloe Trying out LST clips for the first time. Added a couple of small LST clips on the 4 largest fan leaves. One of the large lower fan leaves snapped off this morning when I was adjusting the LST clips. It looked like it had already snapped yesterday. Adjusted VPD to lower humidity

got massive CaMg problems... was baaaad idea to ph 5.9 - 6.2 so long Hoever stabilziation seems to start Still using plagron and some aptus Plagron sugar royal 1 ml/l Plagron power buds 1 ml/l Plagron alga bloom 4 ml/l Aptus regulator 3 drops/l Aptus CaMg booster 0.7 ml/l (next week will start to add Plagron green sensation) The plagron trio seems to boost the terpenes massively...the smell has more intensity compared to my living soil sisters in the tent🤔...i have never had such massive terpene emission like this

Its really perking up in flower, and the blueberry smells are ready coming out!

MATARO BLUE by KANNABIA Week #16 Overall Week #2 Flower This week she's doing good👍 she's dealing the heat and elements fairly well hopefully that will continue as she flowers!! Stay Growing!! Kannabia.com. MATARO BLUE

This lady is so tall and her colas are getting too heavy. We had a bit of rain and wind mid-week and she could hardly stay up... one cola actually broke off! I'm trying to get another two weeks out of her. Fingers are crossed. It's a blustery day today and I'm a bit nervous! She's not ripe yet... I don't want a 'preemie' on my hands.

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und fängt langsam an zu riechen.

-Tag 70 Pablitos letzte Stunde Nachdem wir die Trichome kontrolliert haben und gesehen haben dass sie reif sind, haben wir sie geerntet. Nass Gewicht waren es 155g. Nun hängt sie im Zelt zum trocknen 😍

Is a potent strain & has a spicy aftertaste but sweet & candy gas terp on the low. Can definitely tell leaning on the Runtz side & yield was okay but not like Permanent Pounder yield since I harvest both on 420. Runtz Head a tasty strain while Permanent Pounder gassy funk & sour.. will update pounder .. I think I shall do better in future. Going to go with a 4 gallons fabric pot & see what happening without the net trellis.

Nice flat canopy, no more wire needed for LST, will just gently pull the branches down as it grows. Now just need more growth! Trichomes popped and a lovely citrus aroma.

PABLO ESCOBAR / DIVINE SEEDS WEEK #5 OVERALL WEEK #4 VEG As she continues to grow this week she's doing well no issues she's healthy she was topped this week! Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! Thank you DIVINE SEEDS! PABLO ESCOBAR / DIVINE SEEDS

Hi there, As we approach the fourth week of veg, our expectations for the jungle tour continues to grow. This phase of the grow season is very exciting because at this time it’s decided how well we can lay the foundation for the subsequent successful flowering period. Our goal was to stop apical growth and teach the gals to focus on growing lateral branches. At first glance, I think we will be fine in this regard, but the following weeks will give us the answer. So we used tying wires and tent hooks to keep the branches down and open the canopy for better light penetration for the lower part of the plants. 🌞 A good defoliation has been done as well. Watered only once this week with 3 litres of PH-ed, de-chlorinated water and some Silica.💦 600 PPFD was a bit too much for them as I saw signs of light stress so we dimmed back the lamp to 520-540.🌞 Wish everyone a lovely weekend and see you next week!💨👊

21.11 Middle of the last week i start to saw that plants are giving sings on soon harvest(pistons darker color, curled in bud, trichomes (big transparent-cloudy, middle cloudy-amber , small also transparent-cloudy) From yestrday they are in rest and dark mode Didnt do water flushing becuse i am using bio nutrients, last watering 18.11 Environment in tent is solid now without light,lower temperature( 0-5°) and more humidity(50-55%) ,so thats good I will wake them up soon, but need to wake up myself in morning also😴 Gn 🥦🍀💚💆‍♂️ 23.11 After 71 day of which two days in darknes , looking for 40-45% humidity and solid temp 20-25 i did cutting part and take them in more darknes, for drying 😁🤤 24.11 Situation in tent is how i want, becuse of the smell in room is colder then it should be so humiditiy is bit lower ( now 47-51%) but temp is also low ,i hope that will do solid exchange with not drying to fast becuse of lower temp, they look more frosty after few days in dark, smell is better and more aromatic, but i guess when you grow in tent, it could not be intense smell like outside, on constant fresh air,condtitions in real time, but its good, checking every day situation with buds, 24/7 good good air flow in all directions , ifan and carbon filter also doing solid good job with killing smell thats going down the pipe outside. Whole run was very good and i didnt have much problems or questionable situation, setup from mars hydro did well and equipment didnt make any problems in work, nice amount of watts for 3 plants, good size of tent to work normaly, from 1 place reach everything you want, and yea biobizz soil and nutriens also show up quality and results, with good dosing of nutrients and accurate ph level, resault was there. I also see flaws and thing that i could do better, but in total i am proud on me for doing my first grow, think that this change perspective about lighting buds and enjoying them. Wish then good and slow drying in best condtion possible🙏🏻🙏🏻💚🥦🍀 https://youtu.be/ghGiv7YLC7Q?si=gn-fFhvyURz24xdw ❄️🌤️ 🍋🌲🍓

I feel like this turned out better than it should have. Amazing genetics.

Oct 12: some bud progress but still slow flowering. This is a sativa leaning pheno so likely other phenos would be a bit faster. Getting some nice white trichomes but the pistils are still mostly white. Sunlight is weak now so I don’t know how much further she can progress. Weather is unusually warm so that helps. Oct 15: looks like the finish won’t be too bad…the flowers are maturing despite the weak and low sun. Removed most fan leaves that were shading buds. Still using the 730 nm far red light for a few seconds at dusk. Oct 16: moved it into position this morning but mistakenly turned it 180. Whoops, oh well, North side buds got a bonus day of sun. Oct 18: warm and sunny but the season will only last until the weekend. The buds are looking ripe enough and I’ll harvest them 3-4 days.

Nach dem letzten entlauben und leichtem Biegen der Äste, entwickelt sich die Pflanze etwas homogener. Allerdings hat sie im Stretch nochmal ordentlich an Höhe dazu gewonnen. Auch bei ihr ist ein leichter Tripsbefall vorhanden und Raubmilben wurden eingebracht.
