This week I've been pulling the top fan leaves to stop the plant growing taller and to allow the side branches to catch up. I also started feeding them. I will probably repot and switch to flower next week now they've all outgrown their mutations.

So far pretty fast growing for 2 weeks since start. Had 1 that was over watered but made a easy comeback. Started giving half nutes or less because of size and container size. Will be putting in final pot next week. Also had some cloudy cold weather but the next 2 weeks are looking good so they should really take off as it said 9 weeks to harvest from germination. Happy growing

11/3 - Today is technically the first day of Week 5 and also the first day I could see a visible drop in her water level since her last check-in (~12 hours apart). As a result, her ppms shot up to around 800. I diluted the solution with straight tap (7.5pH, 170ppm) since her pH was registering around 5.3. This brought her up to 5.6pH and 670ppm (1.0ec + tap, 500ppm of nutrients). I would have liked to adjust her pH more, but the water level ended up at the bottom of the basket. I'll adjust further as necessary. The other day while attempting to LST her top branches, they ended up snapping off, so I just topped her down one node and broadened her other LST to make her as squat as possible. Once I am able to find a suitable individual ScrOG screen, I will put it on her. 11/4 - I wasn't even planning on doing an update today, but I want to note a few changes. The first of which is a visible difference between her foliage density in a span of 36 hours. Her root bundle is over a foot long and getting more wound up every day. I removed her LST ties in order to take advantage of the ScrOG screen apparatus (see notes below). After lights came back on, she measured 645ppm and had another notable drop in water level. Currently, I am preparing another nutrient solution that closely matches what she is feeding on now. I will be upgrading her to a 5 gallon bucket. I will be aiming for 1ec of nutrients/additives (500ppm + Tap on my meter, Hanna Primo .5 conversion). Tap measured 180ppm, so target ppm would be 680. Later that same day... So I finished upgrading her to a 5 gallon bucket before I actually got done writing the update. Added one photo showing new 5 gallon setup. Solo ScrOG test mk1 - In an attempt to do a ScrOG, but maintain control over each bucket, while still having relatively easy access to each reservoir, I decided to throw together this little contraption. I removed the lowest complete segment of a tomato cage, leaving a short "tail" beyond the lower ring to act as a peg to insert into corresponding holes in the lid. The lower ring is 10" in diameter and the upper is approximately 12" in diameter. Each ring is 11" apart. I would prefer to have a shorter segment, but I haven't worked out exactly how to do this yet. I would prefer to set the screen height at around 6" above the bucket instead of 11". This will have to suffice for the time being while I let my latent conscious work out a solution or one is provided by the community. Above each cage will sit a coated wire fence with grids measuring ~2"x3", as shown in the above picture. 11/5 - Uploaded short video showing Solo ScrOG Apparatus in place. Screen height currently set to 6". Thanks for stopping by my garden, and, as always, Happy Growing!

She is definitely looking nice and purple.I did slam her with light as I had the intensity set at 80 percent power so little bit of light burn but she’s fine.Ill start some blooming nutrients this week and get those buds stacking up :)

Went to travel in the 6th and 7th week without photos.A pity. The plants are growing very fast and are very crowded now.

Rainbow melon has exploded with vibrant green branching. Seems like a new node every day beautiful plant structure going to start low stress training this week.🔥

Today is day 23 of flower. So I've been chasing a minor P-K deficiency. The plants are happy and healthy and are just feeding heavy at the moment. Well over and above any recommended servings with respect to the dry amendments and water soluble P-K inputs. As with any grow regardless of what you're using for inputs (organic amendments/salt based bottle feeding/crop salts/etc....) the recommended feed rates are never anything more than a baseline. So to remedy the deficiency I added the Flower 2 at 1.5 times the reccomended dosage (3 grams per liter of water) and a little over twice the dosage of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom dry amendments (250ml per 7 gallon pot). I also fed a mung bean/barley seed sprout tea as well as a compost tea (2/3 of a cup of each seed). The feed rates will stay well above recommended servings for the Flower 2 but the 250ml addition of the 2-8-4 would be considered a large addition for a single serving so I will give the plants 5-7 days to see how they react to dry amendments before top amending again at any rate (you cant burn your plants with organic inputs but you can still suffer nutrient lockout so you need to be mindful and patient when feeding heavy.) On day 19 of flower I did a large pruning/defoliation/lollipopping of the plants. Both from the top of the pot to the bottom of the first layer of trellis removing everything. I also cleaned the plants out from above the first layer of trellis netting to the top of the plant. As I waited to clean up the bottom third of the plants until my typical strip day in flower (day 18-21 depending on strain and flowering times, these are 9 week strains which is why the strip falls in the day 18-21 range, if they were 8 week finishers the leaf strip would take place somewhere between days 14-16). When running multiple layers of trellis netting it's best to prune/lollipop everything below the first layer of netting about 7-10 days before the flip. Odds are your lights wont penetrate that far down the plant so these areas of the plant typically only produce what's commonly known as larf. I'm running new lights so I decided I'd wait until the big strip I always do in flower. This was grower error. I know better and wont make this mistake again. Its unnecessary stress added during flower that could've been prevented. As I decided to wait to clean out the bottoms I didnt prune the plants as aggressively as I normally would (I adopted Grand Master Levels leaf strip practices years ago, check him out on IG or YouTube if you want to see what that looks like). The week went smoothly with no major issues to report. The seasons are changing here so were getting rain, damp wet snow, and have very humid conditions outside. As a result this affects the atmosphere in my grow room but not enough to cause concern. A little less than 6 weeks until the chop!

Week 9, final feed and removed the dead and dying leaves. Buds are rock hard, frosty AF, sticky and has a very pungent aroma. The end is nearing and I'm excited to see the final results. Thanks for stopping by growfessors.

Moin, Die 3. Blütewoche ist vorbei und die White Sweet Candy OG hat sich nochmal deutlich gestretcht, vorallem die drei verbleibenden Haupttrieb (Leider ist mir Anfang der Blütewoche beim letzten scroggen ein Haupttrieb abgebrochen) werden höchstwahrscheinlich zu ziemlich großen Buds! Mit den noch erfolgten Stretch hat die Pflanze hier ideale Höhe erreicht und ich hoffe nicht auf weiteres Höhenwachstum sonst muss ich den Filter und die Abluft etwas umhängen. Besonders in den letzten Tagen beginnt merklich die Blütenbildung zu beginnen und immer mehr Pistils schießen aus den Blütenansetzen. Trichome konnte ich bisher aber nicht erkennen das wird sich in den kommenden Tagen aber sicherlich noch ändern und ich bin wirklich gespannt wo die Reise noch hingehen wird und wann ich das erste mal einen Einblick in das hoffentlich süße und vielleicht etwas kushiges (?) Terpenprofil erblicken kann. Diese Sorte macht einen wirklich Lust zu grown! Einzig tut es mir etwas Leid, dass ich dem Strain nicht das ganze Zelt an Platz gegeben haben. Ende der Woche sind mir ein paar kleine Anzeichen eines Calciummangels an zwei einzelnen Blätter aufgefallen, weswegen beim gestrigen Ansetzen der Nährlösung erstmal auch eine kleine Menge an CaO hinzugegeben wurde. Ende der 3. Blütewoche wurde die Pflanze ordentlich gelollipopt und vorallem die zum Teil schon fast riesigen Blätter wurden entfernt und die Struktur deutlich luftiger gestaltet sodass nun auch ein Guter Airflow gewährleistet ist. Zur Struktur selber bleibt die White Sweet Candy OG Ihrer OG Struktur in Wachstum treu, mittelgroße Internodienabstände, starke Haupttriebe mit große Blätter und relativ starkes Seitentrieben. Einzig ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Triebe nicht zu stark trainiert werden sollten, da diese doch recht starr und zum Teil Hohl sind wodurch diese zum Brechen neigen, wenn diese zu stark heruntergebunden werden. Ein wirklich Problem sollte das aber nicht darstellen, wenn man darüber bescheid weiß und nicht zu rabiat an die Sache herangeht. Des Weiteren habe ich mittlerweile mein Intercanopy-Lighting eingestellt und beleuchte die Pflanzen nun mit 21 W zusätzlich und er unterschied in der Ausleuchtung der untere Triebe ist nicht zu übersehen, ich bin auf die Ergebnisse gespannt! Alles in allem ist dieser Strain wirklich robust, stellt keine großen Anforderungen, hat wirklich Bock zu Wachsen und kommt gut mit höheren EC Werten klar. Gerne mehr von genau solchen Strains! Hey, Week 3 of flowering is over, and the White Sweet Candy OG has stretched noticeably once again. The three remaining main branches in particular have put on a lot of growth (unfortunately, one of the main branches snapped during the last SCROG session at the beginning of flowering). These remaining tops will most likely develop into some pretty large buds! With the additional stretch, the plant has now reached the ideal height for this setup, and I’m hoping for little to no further vertical growth. Otherwise, I’ll have to reposition the carbon filter and exhaust system. Especially over the last few days, flower development has really started to pick up. More and more pistils are emerging from the bud sites, although I haven’t been able to spot any trichomes yet. That will surely change in the coming days, and I’m genuinely excited to see where this grow goes and when I’ll finally get my first impression of the hopefully sweet and perhaps slightly kushy (?) terpene profile. This strain is genuinely a joy to grow! The only thing I somewhat regret is not giving it the entire tent to itself. Towards the end of the week, I noticed a few minor signs of a calcium deficiency on two individual leaves. Because of that, I added a small amount of CaO when mixing yesterday’s nutrient solution. At the end of week 3 of flowering, the plant received a thorough lollipopping. In particular, some of the already massive fan leaves were removed, creating a much more open structure and ensuring proper airflow throughout the canopy. As for the plant structure itself, the White Sweet Candy OG stays true to its OG heritage: medium internodal spacing, strong main branches with large leaves, and fairly vigorous lateral branching. One thing I did notice is that the branches should not be trained too aggressively. They are quite rigid and partially hollow, which makes them prone to snapping if bent down too forcefully. However, this shouldn’t be a real issue as long as you are aware of it and handle the plant with a bit of care. Additionally, I have now set up my inter-canopy lighting and am providing an extra 21 watts of supplemental light. The improvement in light penetration to the lower branches is clearly visible, and I’m excited to see how this affects the final results. Overall, this strain has proven to be very robust. It doesn’t demand much, has a strong desire to grow, and handles higher EC levels without any issues. I’d definitely love to see more strains like this!

Elsa her 5 week start‘s quietly and nothing other happened then she grow… in the Vegi part is it what we want, but it’s time for her preflower part. At the end of week 5 I found her first signs to go in the preflower. Nice. She start in her stretch with 30 cm maybe she will grow over 60 cm? What you think ?

Hello people, how are you doing? Week 10 is here and we are almost there to harvest those beauties. Thank you to follow this diary! Peace and love!

Another week has flown by! The girls are doing great, cruise control this week as I have just been monitoring RH and temps. Trying to keep them as low as possible, I’ve been getting as low as 74 during the day and 68 at night. I finally took a look a look at the trichomes with my jewellers loop, lots of cloudy, and a few amber around the leaves and top colas, but still lot’s of clear trichomes. I’ve ordered myself a wireless/usb digital microscope to assist with the process, and looks like it will be here just in time to determine harvest day. 😎🎄 I started by eliminating the nutrients at the beginning of the week. I typically allow for 3-4 pure water feeds before I harvest, and at the rate they have been drinking, this should be enough to get through the 7-12 days they have before harvest. I don’t flush, but rather “rinse” with normal water amounts, allowing the plant to use up the remaining nutrients in the soil. This also allows me to recover most of the soil from my grows and reuse ♻️ with other soil mix. There has been great debate and a great deal of bro science out there for many years, but the recent studies suggest there is no difference in end result when it comes to flushing or using nutrients right until the end, if a proper dry and cure is performed. What do you think? What do you prefer to do? Thanks for reading this far, leave me a comment with your preferred method 👊🇨🇦❤️

ran out of stepwell bloom top dressing but this one is so close to ending that it does not need to be amended with anything other than a small power bloom top off. This one is between 10 and 14 days away from being done. just loving the smell. ive tried this cultivar grown outdoors and now i will get to try it from an indoor grow. Can't wait.
