The third week is over, and the ladies have finished their stretching phase. This meant one last trimming. I removed all the solar eclipses that were on a flower. This way, every flower receives light and photosynthesis is absorbed through the lower part. This way, I achieve maximum yield and no undeveloped flowers

*****Week 17 growth – March 27 to Apr 2, 2021 – Week 8 flower ****** We are in the first full week of flush now. Color change time and more swelling😃👍 GDP x GSC should have some purple in her......there certainly is in both. I have missed CL1 though, due to my actions. Pushing the nutes and lights is showing signs this week and both are fox tailing now. CL2 is holding it together though better than CL1........she said F you and shot her tips way up. Tails coming up the side of the bud as well, not excessive but they are prominent. They feel dense, yeah I squished a couple😏, so they should still have a good finish. CL2 is the looker right now and will have more dense buds I suspect but CL1 is showing that she can make some chunky LARGE buds if given what she wants.......without excess🙂 Frost levels on both girls is very high and looking sparkly😎 Aromas have been coming out more now and I pick up sweet and kind of floral......F I don’t know fully on these ones right now but it’s freaking good......smells like good weed!!! Running these both again I think. I was going to let CL1 go but color isn’t everything....CL1 should have fatter buds and I think she deserves another chance👍 CL2 is a given she will be run another time as well🔥❄️ 🔥❄️🔥❄️🔥 The girls are drinking well with being watered almost everyday. Moving into the phase of letting the pots dry right out before adding more water to ensure they are finishing all the nutrients in the media. Again, really just keeping them watered when they want it and taking pictures at this point😎 Little more detail….. Mar 27/21, Day 50 - 4L plain water at 6.0pH - Mar 28/21, Day 51 - 4L watering today with RO water. - 30ppm and 6.1pH Mar 29/21, Day 52 - cold in the tent today so turned the heater back on to brin up to 77 degrees. It was holding at 74, a little low. - nothing watered. Mar 30/21, Day 53 - 4L watering with tap water at 5.8pH - Mar 31/21, Day 54 - watered late in the day with only 3L of RO water - 25ppm and 6.1 pH Apr 1/21, Day 55 - dry out day Apr 2/21, Day 56 - light power reduced again and down to 300 watts. - plain water with tap. - 3L each 280ppm and 6.1pH Through week 8 and going into 9 now. Still some nutrient to keep working on in the leaves......give them a little more time💪

*WEEK 1 DAY 6 OF FLOWER* Flipped the light to 12/12 6days ago and started scrogging I also gave her quite a huge defol 5days after the switch for better light penetration and airflow, for the first week everday ill be checking on the canopy any tops that are growing too tall compared to others will be trained underneath the scrog net, resulting in even light penetration throughout the whole canopy giving lower buds better light and of course the main reason - keeping the plants small :) started to implement the boost additives to boost K intake and i have also added a exhale co2 bag above the canopy to hopefully boost the co2 levels and promote faster, better growth! the deficiency i mentioned in the last week of veg, is not looking to get worse or worsening hmmmm strange effected leaves have been removed and overall she looks great! i dont wanna get to ahead of myself yet! as we still have a long way to go, but for my first run as from up to know i am pretty happy with myself and the growth of plant, i see so many growers with basic and even really bad deficiencys/diseases from early growth! even throughout there whole growth cycle... yes i have noticed a few weird things throughout the cycle but nothing extreme no NPK deficiencys so i am really pleased with this run! roll on the next ;) Wish me further look guys, Lets Grow!

* ******* Week 10 - June 13 to 19, 2020 - Days 64 to 70 from germination ********** * She is getting really close to harvest......around day 77??? into darkness next week I suspect. She has been awesome but the damn pH has total screwed with the yield though as she couldn’t get the potassium she wanted to fatten up some more in weeks 9 and 10. They are going to be very sticky buds but the size will not be as big as if the pH had stayed in 6.1 to 6.4 range through flower......running mid 7’s is too damn high. Looking more into unfiltered tap water as another issue this run..........dechlorinated but not filtered........ More info to come.......getting pictures added in for now. Little more detail: June 13 - Day 64 - 👍

This week she’s smelling so peng. Literally cannot wait to taste her. I haven’t got a x30 loop eye piece so can’t check the trichomes proper but she looks nearly done. The thc is still milky from what I can see and most hairs are nearly all orange now. I’m flushing her every 3/4 days pure water now from the tap. Leaving her to dry in between last Run off at 378 which is pretty normal for my tap water. Biggest cola at 16.5cm circumference now. So looking forward to giving her the chop. Although She had been showing signs of stress throughout the grow it seems like nothing can stop the hulkberry from yielding a good harvest. Unbelievable I’ll be growing this in again for sure.

it's amazing, this growth looks much better than my first attempt, my decision was to put a smaller pot and change the light - the girl really liked it, FastBuds goriilla cookies with a small space manage perfectly:).

Hello! What's up? Today was the last day, we ended week 13 with success! Barely gave them any water, try to keep it to a minimum so they dry 'faster'. Super happy with this strain, beautiful buds, smell, sticky af and quite dense too. Was watching them day and night, every day to make sure I'd cut them in the right day. Having a microscope is really handy for this point, allowing to harvest in the desired state. Now I'll prepare the room for harvest, remove the reflector, bulbs, etc, and flip the box to a 'drying station'. They look ready to go for me, and after the pictures I chopped them down, and have around 2kg before trimming. That's the most I ever got out of a grow at once. Super amazed. Thank you very much @weedseedsexpress for being part of the contest, was really fun and a pleasure to grow such strong strain!

The seedlings responded really well to Root Juice from Biobizz,. Potted them all on day 5, and kept them under a 600w.led vegging light (Cobb Cree 3000w Led by Philizon) Days 1-6 Not much happening on the surface, miniature differences with each one, but been autos right now the seedlings will be rooting. Environment. Light cycle is now 19 on 5 off. Using the Philizon cob Cree 3000w full spectrum veg light. Light suspended 32" of the lip of the pot practically the top of the seedlings, I could have got it lower but I can't imagine much difference vegging. Night Temperature were previously between 19.5c to 23c. Temperature has been slightly altered to 22.4c to 25.6 following some guidance I read on; https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-indoor-cannabis-growing-relative-humidity-and-temperatures-n243. Set up is currently been regulated by Inkbird climate remote heat n cooling. 1500w oil radiator ;) set at 900w 26/27c 22.02.20- Slight change to air exchange set for every 14 mins previously cycling every 40 to 43 mins( radiator was set too low, higher power temp, more responsive to temp changes.) This enables the radiator oil to reach its heat n switch off it's internal thermostat at the device, not the controller. I found I was able to continue radiating a couple of air cycles, before finally dropping below 25.7 which then triggers the radiator to kick in as it's been able to cool off for nearly 26mins) Temp cycle Set 27c Fan activates 27.5 stops at 27 but temp drops 1.5 Heater (controlled by Inkbird climate controller) activates 26.c stops at 27.c takes a further 6 mins to climb +.6c & then fans kicks in. Take 14 mins for cycle. Pot temp 22.4 c to 23.7c Misting Using Active Vera 1.5 ltr 3ml active vera, once a day, especially over the top soil I find helps raise the humidity (ranges 60 - 80%) Week 3 - 03/03/20 Rapid growth, I topped five of the fastest strongest plant out of the 8. Some moisture inch deep. No feed required. Humidity 50 to 65 Temp 26c to 27c Week 3 Day 3 - 5/3/20 Water feed. pH. 5.9 Biobizz: Bio.Grow 2ml/L (20ml) Bio Bloom 1ml/L (10ml) Top Max 1ml/L (10ml) Bio Heaven 2ml/L (20ml) Alg-A-Mic 2ml/L (20ml) Acti-Vera 2ml/L (20ml) Cal-Mag 1ml per gallon (2ml) Water mister lightly mist the flowers following feed as leaves began to droop from lack of water. 2ltrs pH.5.9 2ml Acti Vera 2ml Alg-A-Mic Used 200ml, will save n use rest over the next couple of days. Humidity following feed 75% Humidifier set at 60% Humidity Range 50 to 60 Room temp 25 to 27c av 26c Lights off temp 19.5c to 23c (pot) Pot temp Day Time 25c to 26c Plants responding really well to been topped, loads of new foliage in just 2 days. Started 1st course in blooming feeds. All have started pre flowering, with little white hairs appearing down the stem. Step are as thick as the gavita kettle power cord. Smell like fresh humid green, to the touch of the plant is exhibiting tangy fresh citrousy smells that have that widow rhino smell,.. mmm. Week 4 10/3/20 Day 29 11/3/20 Water feed. 10 ltrs 1.25 Lt p p pH. 5.9 Biobizz: Bio.Grow 2ml/L (20ml) Bio Bloom 2ml/L (20ml) Top Max 2ml/L (10ml) Bio Heaven 2ml/L (20ml) Alg-A-Mic 2ml/L (20ml) Acti-Vera 2ml/L (20ml) CalMag 1ml p gallon (2ml) Bat Guano Fert 2x scoops Some light LST training. Height 14.5 to 17" smallest to tallest. 17" is the CC that has not been topped As shown below. In pic 1 Sat 14/03/20 D32 (Seems I wasn't putting enough water through, so no previous run offs.) I noticed the begining signs of Nitrogen toxicity as some leaf's where begining to claw. I let the plants dry out a day further. I filled a reservoir 80 ltrs tap water, n let sit overnight pH to 6.3 Sunday W4 D33 15/03/20 Poured 8 litres into each pot gradually (2ltr bottle hand feed) - water didn't run off untill the 6ltr (3rd bottle), the next 2ltrs that followed ran out quicker & less sluggish. I checked in 6hrs later, plants appear to be well. I will keep you posted as we enter the beginning of week 5 (week6 on grow diaries as Day 1 was week 1,. Unable to amend) #sweetseeds

Hi Gromies, well sometimes I can be my own worst enemy seems I defoliated ( actually I'll blame the apprentice Urban grow cat 😺) He defoliated a little to much, it's hard to get good help these days! Anyway she got a bit of light burn directly under light bulb area. A mix of to much defoliation & I also turned light up to super lumen setting & being lazy I hadn't hooked the extraction fan & ducting up to the light ( it's an air cooled light shade) pump air from outside tent through sealed light shade & exhaust it outside. I hooked that up & raised the light around 20 cm & all is good now, some burnt leaves. She is bouncing back & grown more leaves. It may have slowed Bud development a little! I changed light cycle to 12.5 hours of darkness 11.5 hrs on to try & kick her into gear , fool her into thinking the season is coming to an end with shorter daylight hours. I may increase dark period a little more bit by bit, experiment a little, I've read of other growers who give plants less light around week 6 till harvest. She is getting a faint lemony smell. Lollipoped some of the smaller secondary branches, any tips low down not receiving much light & don't look like they will get much bigger, other than that I'm leaving her alone, probably just try & seperate any close growing colas so we don't get any Bud rot. Thanks for checking out my diary please leave a comment & some likes would be great so that myself & the apprentice grow cat can progress from apprentice stage 👍😻🙀

Plants seem to be growing ok, seeing some fade on the leaves. Not sure if this is a bit nutrient deficiency or not. Plants are drying out faster than usual, probably the temperature. Struggling to get it lower anlong with the humidity. May need a dehumidifier and to crank the a/c.

4/5: Took 4 cuttings from the shortie 4/12: All 4 are rooted and growing! 5/1: Transplanted from 1gallon pots to 5 gallon pots. 5/3: Decided to grow one of them in my tiny tent and the other 3 will go outdoors. 5/4: Took 2 of them outdoors under the 270w and sunshine. 5/6: Trained all of them today and fed some boomerang along with the kelp, molasses, big bloom, and silica. Foliar fed and took the last one outdoors. The one in the tent is really flourishing! 5/7 - 5/17: Excellent growth! The supplemental lights are making all the difference.👍 Did some more training on all of them early in the week. The one in the closet is spreading out nicely and budding up pretty quickly...but what's very cool is that all 4 clones outdoors are flowering?!?!? I sure hope they go ahead and finish rather than starting to revegetate as the days continue to get longer. Much rain for the past few days, but it let up long enough for me to install another 200w of waterproof 3000k LED lights a couple of feet above them. Very intense lighting, great bang for the buck. So now, I've got 350w of 3000k and 120w of 6500k in the outdoor garden. That's gonna have to do it, as I also am using 1400w in my indoor gardens, plus a/c..bills are getting ridiculous. 5/18 - 5/28: The clone in the tent is still stacking up really well. I guess the ones outdoors are too, but next to the seedling plants, they seem puny. Many buds though... Since they decided to flower early, I sprayed them all down with a product that is loaded with hormones and auxins and stuff that's supposed to retard vertical growth and promote branching. It's also supposed to speed arvest time by as much as a week. I hope they can finish before the summer solstice (June 21), otherwise they might try to reveg instead of finishing.. Hopefully it helps keep them from stretching so much that I'll have to supercrop them. Their mamma was a shortie, so they really shouldn't get too tall anyway. I also foliar fed them several times this week with something called MicroLife Maximum Blooms, Pow! They love the stuff! 5/28 - 5/31: I did some training on a two of the outdoor clones early in the week between rain showers, and foliar fed with Microlife maximum bloom formula. She was looking a little N deficient, so I assume the dry amendments have petered out. They were dry enough, so I top-fed her with another couple tablespoons of cavern culture and on the 31st. I gave them big bloom, tiger bloom, grow big, beastie bloomz, silica, endoboost, signal, humic acid, liquid kelp/fish emulsion, and liquid molasses. The indoor clone is looking awesome. I fed her heavily on the 30th. It just feels so strange that I'll be harvesting outdoor photos in June!?! That's it for week 8- 6/1 - 6/8: Early in the week I gave them about a half gallon of water with liquid molasses, cal-mag, silica, and beastie bloomz only. I foliar fed them a couple of times during the week, right at daybreak. I fed them on Saturday, the 6th..about a gallon each..beastie bloomz, microlife maximum blooms, cal-mag, humic acid, grow big, big bloom, sweet & sticky, and signal. They are looking very good..buds galore. The indoor clone got the same nutes, but on different days. She's also covered in buds, and they are beginning to fatten up.👍 6/9-7/4: Busy with other gardens, so not many updates... Indoor clone got to spend the last 2 weeks of her life in my closet under the quantum boards and UVB. I harvested and washed her buds on 6/28, let her hang dry and weighed and jarred her up on the 4th of July. She came in a 111g of cola and 45g of lower bud with only about 5g of larf. Nice!👍 She smells just like her mommy and has the same uber-dense buds. She was topped, so the buds aren't as mighty as the mamma's, but much more plentiful.👌 Outdoor clones: I had a massive spider mite attack, and during the same week, I had a grasshopper invasion...I lost a few plants, one of which as a FFT1 clone. I had just harvested my autos and my indoor clones from the closet, so I moved the remaining two clones in under the quantum boards. I treated them for spider mites several ways for several days and have given them much TLC. Hopefully their buds fatten up some more. They stanky, but they kinda slim... 7/11: I harvested the last two clones tonight. So sticky!!! I washed them and hung them to dry.

Purple Punch is flowering very nicely, trichomes are out, and getting bigger buds. This will be around the 5th week of flowering. It did not double its size as I expected, just grew an extra 3-5 cm. I am surprised. Strange. It remained small but the flowers are beautiful. I did not raise up the water intake just left it the same 200ml 2x a day. Clean water in the morning and then fertilization in the evening. I really like this plant. I think I will order more seeds. Purple Punch height end of the week is the same 43 cm.

May 21, 2020 Grow week 4 - 1st Video For the compose, I used the pro-mix mycorrhizae from previous crops, added bunch of left over food, dead plants, grass from my back and front yard, and Gala Green natural powder bloom 2-8-4. This is my first time in this site. Any feed back would be great! Thanks for watching.
