Sunset Sherbet's grow was simple, no hold back what-so-ever. Hungry eater fed ever other day for the whole grow. Performed super cropping, LST, and topping equaling 12 tops. Strong branches and enormous stalk needing no support during all of flower. Overall a powerful strain lineage to create Sunset Sherbet. Recommended all day to all for a great solid grow.🏅

Básicamente lo mismo, aunque está semana pilló bastante más horas de luz(tuve que irme fuera de casa dos findes seguidos, en los cuales la dejé con la luz encendida full 24/7 en la caja) Como experiencia utilicé café reposado 48h para "alimentarla" e intentar bajar el Ph de la tierra (coco ph6+hummus ph7+vermiculita ph8= ph total 7) El otro experimento fue cubrir la tierra con coco para que el tallo eche raíces y aprovechar su espigamento! Las horas de luz solía dejarla 8h en bombilla mientras duermo, y el día la pongo en la ventana a que tome el fresco, pero apenas tiene luz directa, me da la sensación que crece más rapido cuando vuelvo del finde, estoy replanteandome tenerla más tiempo en la caja con luz, porque la veo aún pequeña, y quizá ponerle un ventilador de pc o algo🤔..veremos, aún tengo el papel de aluminio al lado de la caja y ni se lo he puesto, con eso os lo digo todo☝️🎃

*english version below* Blütewoche 3 – Das kontrollierte Chaos im Citrus-Labor Diese Woche hatte im Zelt etwas von einem wissenschaftlichen Versuch, der langsam beginnt, außer Kontrolle zu geraten – aber genau so, wie wir es wollen. Wachstum & Struktur Der Stretch hat sich nun offiziell beruhigt. Die Pflanzen tun jetzt so, als wären sie die ganze Zeit vollkommen zivilisiert gewesen. Statt Höhenrausch gibt’s nun fokussiertes Kraftbündeln in die Blüten. Das Dach ist mittlerweile eine homogene, grüne Welle, sauber ausgerichtet wie ein geordnetes Blatt-Array. Oben wurde schon etwas entlaubt – so viel, dass man es inzwischen kaum noch sieht, weil die Damen schneller nachlegen als man schneiden kann. Der große Eingriff steht aber noch aus: Lollipopping Phase II – die chirurgische Endrunde. Wenn der untere Bereich fertig freigestellt ist, bleibt nur noch pure Effizienzmaschine übrig: Stamm, Weg, Bud. Blütenentwicklung Die Blütenstände haben diese Woche einen riesigen Sprung gemacht. Von „Wir probieren mal was aus“ zu „Okay, jetzt legen wir richtig los“. Die Cluster sind gut verteilt, dicht, voller frischer, weißer Pistillen und alles schreit danach, dass die nächsten Wochen interessant werden. Und das Beste: Reib mal an einem Zuckerblatt – da kommt dir schon jetzt dieses knackige Zitronenterpen-Profil entgegen. So klar und frisch, dass es fast im Auge brennt… im positiven Sinne. Systemstatus – läuft wie ein Uhrwerk EC: stabil bei 1.5 Wassertemperatur: 19°C – Chiller arbeitet wie ein Kühlschrank auf Red Bull Raumtemperatur: 25°C RLF: 58–60% → perfekte VPD für frühe Blüte pH: brav stabil, keine wilden Ausreißer Technik-Showcase Die Under-Canopy-Beleuchtung sorgt jetzt für diesen „UFO-Unterboden-Glow“, der aussieht, als würden die Pflanzen gleich abheben. Das RDWC läuft absolut glasklar, O₂-Sättigung im Premiumbereich und die Mars Hydro oben drüber macht fleißig Druck. Und dann noch das neue Gadget: Dein Mikroskop. Ein Spielzeug, das vermutlich gefährlicher ist als jedes Add-On im Zelt, denn man will plötzlich ALLES analysieren: Harzköpfchen, Blattzellen, PPSI-Strukturen… und wahrscheinlich irgendwann auch, ob die Pflanzen heimlich zurückwinken. Fazit der Woche Blütewoche 3 bringt Stabilität, Aroma, Spannung und Vorfreude. Der Stretch ist vorbei, die Bühne gehört jetzt den Blüten – und die liefern. Mit der kommenden Lollipop-Operation und weiterem Lichtdruck dürfte die Anlage jetzt in die Phase kommen, in der man sich fragt: „Wie voll kann ein 120er Zelt eigentlich werden, bevor es rechtlich als Landwirtschaft gilt?“ -------------------------------------------------- Flowering Week 3 – Controlled Chaos in the Citrus Laboratory This week inside the tent felt like watching a scientific experiment slowly slip out of control — but exactly in the way we hoped for. Growth & Structure The stretch has officially calmed down. The plants are now pretending they were perfectly civilized all along. Instead of reaching for the sky, they’re now channeling all energy into bud production. The canopy has turned into a uniform green wave, aligned like a carefully arranged leaf array. Some defoliation was done earlier, though the girls have grown so fast that it’s barely noticeable anymore. But the big procedure is still ahead: Lollipopping Phase II – the surgical finale. Once the lower section is fully cleaned, only pure efficiency remains: stem, pathway, bud. Bud Development The flowers made a huge jump this week. They went from “We’re experimenting…” to “Alright, now we’re getting serious.” The clusters are evenly distributed, dense, and bursting with fresh white pistils — everything is signaling that the next weeks are going to be fun. And the highlight: Rub one of the sugar leaves… that crisp lemon terpene profile already hits you. Sharp, fresh, and almost stinging the eyes — in the best possible way. System Status – Running Like a Machine EC: steady at 1.5 Water Temp: 19°C – chiller performing like a fridge on energy drinks Room Temp: 25°C RH: 58–60% → ideal VPD for early bloom pH: stable and obedient Tech Showcase The under-canopy lighting now creates this “UFO glow” underneath the plants — looking like the whole root zone is preparing for lift-off. RDWC is crystal clear, O₂ levels are premium, and the Mars Hydro above is pushing photons like it means it. And then… the new gadget: Your microscope. A toy more dangerous than any nutrient bottle — because suddenly you want to analyze EVERYTHING: trichomes, leaf cells, stomata, probably even if the plants secretly wave back. Weekly Verdict Flower Week 3 brings stability, aroma, excitement, and anticipation. The stretch is done, the stage belongs to the buds — and they’re delivering. With the upcoming lollipopping operation and increasing light intensity, the setup is entering that phase where you start to wonder: “How full can a 120×120 tent get before it legally counts as agriculture?”

Week 9 .......... Flower Week.........June 6 to 12, 2020 ........ Days 57 to 63 from germination The two girl are sure opposites of each other in how this grow is turning out😂😂👍 GSC2 didn’t get a good transplant and she has really suffered for it........add in that both of them were battling high pH in first weeks and thus the reason for the transplant from the fabric pots into plastic.......she is actually hanging in there and this week progressed well. GSC on the other hand I just have to put into her own tent!!!! She is too freaking big!!!!! I can’t fit her in with the other flowering girls and have any success at the grow👍💪👊😉 The environment is not where it needs to be though for flower so added another humidity controller and smaller full spectrum light to bump up to 300 watt range in the veg/flower tent now. Had limited choice with a limited budget and needed it now. I could go through more fooling around for only roughly 3 more weeks before others are done and could combine the plants.......good excuse though to have increased flexibility going forward😉😉😉👍 Feed amount have been as expected with GSC taking 4L most days while GSC2 is more of 2.5L range when feeding. Have noticed they are taking more water in the taller 3 gallon plastic pots. That is a lot of bottles listed but they are never fed that all at once. That is just a full list of products used this week and the dosage in that feed. I have been holding the feed numbers around 1000 ppm the last week and I think she can take more so have bumped that up to 1300 range for the next week. Expect to see some tip burn as pushing them but very little so far. GSC is now 36” and 36” wide but her bud sites are not very big in my opinion. I have replaced G.P. Massive with A.N.Big Bud for now as I don’t need her getting any taller......just grow BIG BUD😃😃 GSC2 is being fed the same schedule as GSC and the same feed so all numbers are the same. GSC2 is only 17” tall though and 24” wide. GSC Environment has been hovering at 80 degrees and 50 percent humidity most of the days. (Another Humidity controller and light arrive this week.) GSC2 Environment has been hovering at 79 degrees and 61 percent humidity for most of the week. Yeast and sugar CO2 in use. Fast Buds strain is solid👊💪👍😍 as is evident in GSC......all issues are grower related to pH problems in first three weeks of their life. Little more detail: June 6, Day 57 - 8L mixture with BigBud @ 2ml, VeloKelp, Rezin, liquid Wt, Vitathrive, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml = 1275ppm and 6.1pH - GSC took 5L and GSC took 3L. - turning lights down yesterday helped. Both girls leaves are standing up more now, June 7, Day 58 - debated on feed but mixed 8L with BigBud @ 2ml, Rhinoskin, VeloKelp, Rezin, liquid Wt @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 1015ppm and 5.6pH - GSC took 6L and GSC2 2L.......good run off from GSC but none from GSC2 - GSC tent needs more humidity in it......working on it - GSC2 is not looking all that great with her long fan leaves. June 8, Day 59 - dry out day - GSC is doing very well and looking big. - GSC2 is doing better since in the flower tent and under the T5 light. June 9, Day 60 - mixed 8L water with Massive and Terpinator @ 3ml, Sensizyme, Rezin, Vitathrive @ 2ml, Liquid Wt @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 1050ppm and 5.6pH - GSC given 5L and GSC2 was 3L. - Full strength feed as things are going okay overall. - GSC2 is getting taller and lower branches standing up more now. - GSC is happy by herself😀 June 10, Day 61 - 6L mixture with BigBud, Rezin @ 2ml, Liquid Wt @ 1.5ml = 475ppm - 4L for GSC and 2L for GSC2 - fair bit of runoff - GSC2 still has lots of leaves but they are not touching the pot anymore, she is getting taller. - GSC is really happy with her leaves way up. Buds are getting bigger as well......slowly😳 June 11, Day 62 - Dry out day today. - left them alone. - GSC will remain by herself. Need to get the humidity up over the 53% though. Temp is fine at 79 degrees. June 12, Day 63 - 8L mixture with Terpinator @ 3ml, BigBud, Rezin, Vitathrive @ 2ml, Sensyzime, Liquid Wt, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml = 1350ppm and pH to 5.6 - GSC took 5L and GSC2 was 3L.......good runoff amounts from both. - GSC2 taken off the milk crate today. Stripped more leaves as well. Looking better at the end of the week👍

Hello. This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering. These girls sure stretched this week. Wow. I see 1 top about 10 inches from the top of the tent. That one branch might get super cropped if it keeps going up. Near the end of this week I want to get in here and do a final trim/prune. Paying attention to fan leaves that don't get enough light on the bottom and fan leaves that block light on the top. If you have a big plant try to leave 4 to 8 fanleaves at the end of each branch, with 8 on the lower branches and 4 on the smaller upper branches. I will also have a good look at the small branches to see if they are sucker branches or if they will put out a small bud. I know that I will put the plant into shock for a few days with the trim/pruning, but when the plant heals and starts to grow again it will go right into resin production, full speed. I will, generally not touch the plants till the end after that. I might take a few fanleaves off that block the light and I'll take off any yellow or dyeing leaves from the bottom too. Came into the tent a couple of days ago to water the plants and saw that the fan blade had disintegrated in it's cage, but it spewed out small bits of plastic all over the plants closest to them. About 5 weeks ago my other fan stopped working in the same place. Not enough lube I'm guessing. so I went and got that blade and it fit. So I didn't have to buy a new fan. 😃 I've got to get in here and vacuum that up before the resin starts flowing. Don't need small bits of plastic in my resin. 😝 See which fan blow up in the video. Oh yes, I also had to replace a automatic opening roof vent this week. It hardly opened a inch on a hot day. I bought one off Amazon, it was here in 3 days, and it works great. Ok. See ya next week. Be Cool! Chuck.

Getting close to the end here. The good news is there are no new signs of bud rot, yay! I'll start chopping the first 2 down this weekend and cut down the 3rd in another week. I plan on making CBD capsules with these girls. Any comments or advice on the best process for making capsules would be appreciated! 🙏

Diese woche war ziemlich stillstand. Denke auch das sich nichtmehr viel tun wird. Tippe das sie in ca 3 wochn fertig sind. Werdn noch ein bisschen an gewicht zulegen denk ich. Aber viel abwerfen werden sie nicht. Sind aber ideal für extrakte. Sind ab tag 14 komplett mit resin überzogen umd wird von tag zu tag mehr.

First off, this is my first time trying cuttings. I read an article about monster cropping and decided to give it a try. The cuttings were taken roughly 3-4 weeks ago from the Glookies in my other diary. Strangely enough all of them made it and even after giving some away, I ended up with six. I decided to transplant 3 of them onto bigger cubes and will choose which one will make it into the flower tent in 2-3 weeks. The other three I will try to turn into little bonsai glookies and tack them separately. The two plants on the very right have already been topped, as I didn't like the growth (they started to stretch weirdly), however all 3 of them should end up with 6-8 main colas if I don't top any further. I plan to scrooge the winner at around 30 cm when put into the big tent. my last one stretched around 25 cm when I flipped her so this time I should be able to even the canopy a bit better. Stay tuned :)

It's amazing how quickly the weather can change. Just a few weeks ago we were bundled up in our warmest coats, and now it's finally starting to feel like springtime. With temps in the 40s and 50s, it's the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. My pound cake plant is finally getting somewhere. It's totally weird, because the stems turned this super cool purple color. Soon it's going to be covered in pound cake buds that'll be ready to eat. I'm thinking fancy frosting might be the way to go, but I'm also considering something fruity on top.

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana non ho applicato stress alla piccola, ma ho guardato l'evoluzione che ha avuto dando i nutrienti. Ora ha un odore davvero intenso ed uno strato di resina pauroso, vediamo come si riprende dalla defogliazione che ho fatto settimana scorsa. Manca poco, settimana prossima controlliamo i trincomi. Seguiranno aggiornamenti, grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Going good this week. Really packing on the buds now. Added some more nutrients that I now have kicking around for a hydro grow. Plant 6 was transplanted last week as I thought it may have been having some issues. I pulled off all the yellow leafs and it seems to be alright. Just glad it’s still kicking. Question: Should I be pulling leaves off my other plants? There’s a few covering up lower bud sites but I’m unsure how it’ll effect my auto flowers. Question: Wondering when to harvest these bad boys. Trichomes don’t appear amber yet. Website for the seeds say 70-90 days seed to harvest. I’m wondering if I can push it to 90 days (13 weeks(ish)) even if they appear ready at 70. Will that effect my harvest?
