Week 4 day 1: Happy 4th! 7/4/25

Flushing as we speak! Chopping this plant in 2 days to get a harvest done before the competition ends! This is an amazingly fast plant! Resin production- ✅ Terps - ✅ Fast - ✅ Easy to grow - ✅ I cannot say enough about this lady! Just fed an average amount of nutrients. Vegged a little longer because of flower tent overflow, but once she flipped, she was fast and quality all the way! More details to come! ✌️🏻💚

Day 71: The smell is pretty strong at this point and the buds are becoming very sticky. I dropped the lights to around 28cms last week. I'll further lower them at the end of this week, as I expect harvest in week 13 or 14. Also watered her today. I'll leave the nutrients at the current level throughout the week and increase to 4ml/l each for the final week before flushing. Day 73: She's packing on a lot of weight recently. The top leaves on the main cola got really purple by now. At first I assumed that it was light burn, but now I think it has actually to do with its genetics. I also checked the trichomes today; around 90% of the trichomes are still clear.

Finaler Grow-Report – Lemon Cherry Gelato Mein erster legaler Grow mit Lemon Cherry Gelato von Barney’s Farm ist fast abgeschlossen – das Curing läuft noch, aber es ist Zeit für ein Fazit zum Anbau! Setup & Bedingungen: Ich habe in einer Spider Farmer 90x90x180 cm Growbox unter der Spider Farmer SF-G3000 (300W LED) angebaut. Als Medium kam BioBizz Light-Mix zum Einsatz, gedüngt wurde mineralisch mit Advanced Nutrients (Grow, Bloom, Micro). Um das volle Potenzial der Pflanzen auszuschöpfen, setzte ich auf Low-Stress-Training (LST) und ein ScrOG-Netz zur optimalen Lichtverteilung. Keimung & Wachstum: Die Keimung verlief problemlos – 4 von 5 Samen sind innerhalb von zwei Tagen aufgegangen. Während der Vegetationsphase entwickelten sich die Pflanzen kräftig und reagierten gut auf das Training. Die ScrOG-Methode half, ein gleichmäßiges Wachstum und eine bessere Lichtnutzung zu erzielen. Blüte & Ernte: Nach etwa 6 Wochen Vegetation leitete ich die Blütephase ein. Die Pflanzen zeigten eine starke Harzproduktion und eine beeindruckende Farbgebung mit einer Mischung aus dunklen Grüntönen, lila Highlights und frostigen Trichomen. Das Aroma war von Anfang an fruchtig und zitronig, mit phänotypischen Unterschieden in der Intensität. Die Ernte fiel mit 300-350 g trockenen Blüten sehr zufriedenstellend aus – für meinen ersten legalen Grow ein starkes Ergebnis. Curing (still in run ): Aktuell lagern die Blüten in 24 Mason Jars (16oz) und einem 2L-CVault, um das Aroma weiter zu entwickeln. Derzeit dominiert eine zitronige Note, während die erhofften Kirsch-Terpene langsam stärker hervortreten. Mein Ziel ist es, die Haze-Noten möglichst gering zu halten und das volle fruchtige Profil herauszuarbeiten – der Prozess ist also noch nicht abgeschlossen. Fazit: Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Grow – die Kombination aus hochwertiger Genetik, gutem Training und präziser Nährstoffversorgung hat sich definitiv ausgezahlt. Die Buds sind harzig, aromatisch und vielversprechend, und ich bin gespannt, wie sich das Curing weiterentwickelt. Der nächste Schritt ist, das perfekte Terpenprofil zu treffen – und das Curing geduldig zu optimieren.

Day 29 two full weeks after going to 12/12 and she is drinking herself nearly dry daily. I forgot to soak the blumat carrot in water over night. Will be day behind setting up drip feed. She is coming along lovely and has taken well to LST so far. Leaves overall healthy in appearance and feel. Fed to extra runoff Day 30 adjusted lst ties, fed to runoff pH slurry test results came in at 6.0. Right on track. Ppms may have crept up a little but could be from her drinking herself dry in less than 24hrs. Fed her back into range. Day 31 she was parched at lights on. Setting up blumats tonight. Fed to runoff. Got a little more progressive with LST. She's still stretching so I am trying to keep her as flat as I can right now. Removed 2 leaves for better light penetration. Installed troph blumat and 3 gal res. see photos in this week. Since its drip feed, reduced ppms to 650. Will be closely watching until dialed in. Everything was sterilized with 91% iso alc. Day 32 adjusted blumat to increase drip frequency. Pot was drier than I like it to be. Adjusted some lst points, removed 1 fan leave for increased light penetration. The smell of her buds is changing to an herbal incense green vine. Interesting to say the least. Since coco did dry out a little, I manually fed to runoff before adjusting drip rate. Day 33 she drank nearly a gallon in 24 hours, adjusted blumat slightly again, adjusted lst points. Added 2 gal to res. Day 34 blumat ran away over night and dumped most of the res into my drip pans. Refilled res with fresh nutes and adjusted blumats. Increased feed, ppms and pH are in range in root zone, shes just getting a bigger appetite. Adjusted lights and lst points. Since removing a few large fan leaves, lower bud sites have exploded. Should have a decent harvest top to bottom on this one. First day I have not recorded vertical height change. She had stayed the same height for a full 24hrs. Stretch may have finally ended @ 20 days after start of 12/12. She has filled out about 80% of the grow space (5 sqft). Amazing for only a 2 week veg before 12/12 flip. Day 35 last day of the 3rd week since the "flip" and shes coming along right on schedule. Growth from base to main cola seems to have stalled but growth to side branches appears to be still growing. Possibly because of the 130° bend I put in her stalk. I removed 4 leaves today. I feel like I take one and she makes 5 more.

still stretching... smells awesome tho, super heavy resin.... Keep an eye on ph and EC I change reservoir every Monday

Still growing strong actively. In particular Ryu developed lots of newly freshly white pistils but also the lower bud sites started to grow significantly. Fingers crossed that this will grow smoothly towards the end. The emergency harvested branches were ok but way to soon of course. At the same time they haven’t been very big either so I guess the impact on final harvest won’t be as big/maybe even beneficial as for air flow, nutrient supply etc for the rest of the branches. Also those I harvested have been excluded by my counting so far as I haven’t seen them since they were too low. There’s another one such candidate who might have to be emergency harvested as well but he’ll have a full more week and also he is heavily coated in sugar already. Let me know in the comments how well you can see the sugar coating, especially the lower bud sites sometimes have an excessive coating. Would be interesting to know whether this has anything to do with lower bud sites doing something that it makes them sugar up more. Or maybe it’s the light that is different in these darker areas The image quality in the video for some reason is much better often than in the photos. I don’t get why the iPhone isn’t just doing what it does in video mode in photo mode as well.

On the final few days of a 10 day flush. Will be chopping down this week to harvest and hang dry. Really excited to try this one. The smells in the room are unreal.

One of the plants grew massive! However the smoke wasn’t the best until a good 4 weeks cure. Very hairy buds too which was interesting 😂 Still a nice smoke

Little Stress for me as I see the oldest leaves have a problem. I read a lot on forum and website and it look like it was Septoria. I check everyday but the sickness don't go fast, and I'm about 3 weeks of the cut. I decided to try to manage this with more air circulation by adding a fan. As it goes up I will cut the leaves that are too much impacted by Septoria and will see. Anyway, everything looks fine and better from week to week. Trichomes comes more and more. I begin to be very exited by the smell and the look of the buds.

I moved the Californian Gold that was in the center because it was too wide and tall compared to the more compact phenotypes. I raised the shorter plants so that the canopy height is fairly uniform for all plants. I defoliated heavily, not sure if it was enough but I didn't want to overdo it and cause damage since I lack experience. I stopped Rhynoskin. I gave 1ml/L of Biorhizotonic to support the roots after defoliation. The amount of water I give is still 1.4L/day – no need for more, since I can water every day obviously. They might be a bit small and not very dense for being mid-4th week. I should push more with Bloombastic, and maybe I will, but I didn't want to cause any kind of lockout, and I saw the leaf tips showing slight burn, so I kept the dose very low. Overall, I like the plants and they're starting to produce resin (especially the Sensi Star). Let's say that considering how the cycle started, with intermittent blackouts in my area during the 2nd/3rd week of veg, it seems things have balanced out. Stay tuned. Peace!

7/18: I was a little worried about the girls over the weekend because they started drooping and the leaves twisting. I gave them a good feeding of Big Bloom and they've completely bounced back. I switched them over to 12/12 Sunday night and lifted the lights a bit. So far... extremely happy with this grow. Best one yet so far. 😍😍 7/19: The bf did another large defoliation. I'm crying. Buwahhahaha jk... I hate it but of course I know it has to be done. 7/21: Of course my girls have already bounced back like the bf hadn't even touched them. They're doing pretty awesome right now. I'm very happy. I lifted the lights up some but boosted their power SLIGHTLY. Will be alternating Big Bloom, pH'ed water only, Calmag, pH'ed water only Calmag, pH'ed water only, Big Bloom for the duration of flower until a few weeks before harvest then pH'ed water only for flushing purposes before the harvest. 😊😚 7/23: The girls are thriving with my feeding, watering and calmag schedule. I'd attempted to tuck some of the branches again under the net but they aren't having it. They popped themselves right back free lololol 😍👊

Starting week 9 She is huge that's why we added extra LST to her big main stem so she could have support and hopefully gets more yield! Day 57 She is doing very good Full of trichomes Cant wait to taste it Day 58 Going hard on nutes 1900ppm Then lots of light Soon I'll be showing you pics of progress Also she's 65cm or more since she's bended Day 59 She's even better No nutrient burnt Everything is Good; Continues to grow 20/4 schedule Day 60 Hope you like the video Day 61.62.63. Sorry didn't have the time to take pics or bids but overall she's good Defoliate a lil bit here and there yellow leaves and she's got more Buds around and finally fattening up I will show you next week Rh 60/70% Was rainy outside for couple days Temp hot 28/30 night and day was 32 Thank God we've got AC....

Cold most of the week. I ran lights 24hrs last few days so temps wouldn't dip below 60. Punch 3.0 may be showing a little stress from all of it. Looking good so far. Video is from Saturday - I normally use the vipar alone for veg, I added the UFO for heat for a couple of days. I expected it to be too much light for seedlings but they are taking it fine so far. I will see if I see a difference in growth from blue to red side.

En esta etapa no agregue ningún nutriente a la solución para evitar que la planta tenga gusto al nutriente, así dicen los expertos que queman esta hierba. Yo lo hago solo por deporte, no porque lo fume. mantuve el ph en condiciones estables a como dictan los científicos en este rubro. la próxima😁 semana corto las plantas y las pongo a secar.

Semana de progresso da engorda acontecendo!um pequenonover de nutrientes nas meninas e fiz uma lavagem das raizes e ela ja mostraram melhorias!aproveitei e deixei elas no ar livre para a limpeza da barraca com óleo de neen!uma delas esta com.poucas aranhas vermelhas e acho que posso ter algum problemas no futuro proximp da colheita!1 das 3 plantas ja esta quase no ponto mais uma semana e faca! As outras 2 so no final do mês!me sinto feliz por ter esse plantio em barraca pela primeira vez!

Smells are getting progressively stronger, smelling like tropical punch still. Showing signs of purple, possible with the dropping temperature at night with the AC. They are cover with trichomes and looking lovely!

Just been topped at around day 21 should done it earlier but here we go so far looking good and very healthy environment looks dialed in too
