📆 Semana 8 La Mental Rainbow entra en el último tramo afinando cada detalle. Los cogollos se compactan todavía más, cubiertos por una capa gruesa de tricomas que le da ese aspecto cristalino tan característico. Los pistilos comienzan a oscurecer y los cálices se hinchan, marcando una maduración clara. El aroma sube de intensidad: dulce, terroso y con un punto profundo que anuncia el cierre perfecto. Has controlado bien la ventilación después de la brotitis puntual, y la planta responde sin frenar el ritmo. Ahora toca dejarla limpia por dentro. 💧 Semana de lavado de raíz: solo agua ajustada de pH para que termine con un sabor puro y una combustión más fina. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

7/18 I'll make this week a six day week to get back on track since i didn't last week. Rhis has been INCREDIBLY challenging for me to be away from my plants for this long. It will be six days. I'm leaving early to come home and water. We are supposed to get thunderstorms. Not sure if we did but it's only 11am. All pics so far are ones sent to me this morning. It rained a little bit yesterday. I have a lot to do in the garden. I need to assess Amy damage. Probably water (depending on weather), defoliate and hunt pillars. I may decide to spray and I may not. Depends what I see. Plants are getting big though. I'll need to add the second set of supports. I'm hoping I come back and find inch long buds like I did last time with those mendo breath that flowered super early two years ago. I just want to see my girls and take a big deep breath of their smelly goodness. I need to check for deficiencies as well as i usually started nutes by now. Tomorrow morning I'll do a video when I get back. UPDATE: AROUND 7 O'CLOCK MY INTUITION OR AS I CALL IT "MY SPIDY SENSE" STARTED TINGLING. IT HAD BEEN EARLIER BIT I IGNORED IT. I PLANNED FOR TWO THUNDERSTORMS WE GOT HERE AND WERE SUPPISED TO GET AT MY GROW BIT DIDN'T GET. I FIGURED THE GIRLS WOULD BE OKAY BUT I COULD FEEL THEIR PAIN. I COULDNT REALLY TELL THROUGH THE CAMERA IF IF THEY WERE DROOPING BAD SO I HAD DAD GO LOOK. HE DIDNT RESPOND WHICH PISSED ME OFF. I TOLD HIM THIS MORNING TO KEEP A VERY CLOSE EYE ON THEM AND IF NEEDED TO WATER THEM. NOT WANTING TO ASK TO MUCH OR I WOULDVE JUST SAID DO IT. HE WATERED EACH PLANT A HALF GALLON AND SPLIT A GALLON WITH THE 10 GAL AND THE 5 AND 50 GALLON SEEDLING CONTAINERS. I'M GLAD I CAUGHT THIS. I NEED TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF WATER. AT LEAST I HOPFULLY WONT COME HOME TO DROOPING PLANTS. THAT WOULD BE A KICK IN THE NUTS. I'M NOT GOING ON VACATION DURING GROWING SEASON AGAIN. I CANT WAIT TO SEE MY GARDEN. 7/19 Came home to the plants looking okay but very light and needing water. All expected storms missed us so what I planned for water wasn't enough. Plus they are much larger. DAD WATERED ALL CLONES WITH A HALF GALLON OF WATER AND THEN I GOT BACK AROUND 10ish AND GAVE THE PLANTS ANOTHER FULL HALF GALLON. THE GMOs ARE DEFINATELY WATER HOGS. I've noticed some interior leaves fading so I'll start nutes soon. Saw some pillar damage (and the pillar in a picture dad sent) and went hunting. I caught 11 caterpillars!!! Three different species. A big green one that rolled into a ball. Yellow and green normal moth larvae and an inch worm the color of an earth worm! I found no eggs though. I took a video, but I'll have to wait to upload it. Luckily, my intuition is on point, and I have family that will help me. All it takes is a day of this heat advisory over 100f weather and the wind to dry my bags right out! I don't want to over water, but 10% is 2 gallons in the 20s. I'm upping the water to a gallon a plant. The event horizons seem to be a little further in flower and don't seem to be using AS much water. I'll play it by ear. I was going to spray bt but having caught double digit pillars I think I'll hold off and do what I'm doing. I can always spray later if needed. 7/20 Checked my plants late and noticed they were light and starting to droop. I had one gallon mixed up so I gave to what was worse. They seemed like they would be OK until after my wife's doctor's appointment. I got back and EVERYTHING but one event horizon were starting to droop and light as a feather. This was after I gave them half a gallon yesterday afternoon and dad gave them a half gallon the late night before. The plants are just too big and with this heat they need more water. I mixed 8 more gallons amd gave each plant a full gallon. Used another gallon earlier in the morning so a total of 9 gallons was used on the garden today. I defoliated what I could. I noticed a hole in my cage as well. A lathe broke and it left a small hole for an animal to crawl through. I found a small lathe and got the drill and went around and repaired the cage. I have a lot more to do. Some serious defoliation. I need to start nutes and I need to add the second supports which is a trellis. That way I can LST. The cages kinda hold everything close together but once the supports are added things while be spread out much better. Much more room this year. I need to switch the plant in the 10 with the flowering event horizon to better utilize space. Dad says these are the best looking plants I've grown. I don't know if I agree but the are really thick. Could just be the strain. I'm certainly not complaining. Things look good. If I can hunt pests myself I'd rather do that than spray chemicals. Got a few more pillars and jpn beetles. Took a video but it won't upload until tomorrow. 7/21 It was definately a good idea to up the watering amounts. If not they'd probably be dead. They are growing at a significant rate. Some seem to be in early flower. I have damage from pillars but considering how many I've caught from hunting im still on the fence about spraying. I probably still should. I went through abd manually removed as many as possible. When I went over this morning I checked the weight of every plant. Every plant was noticeable lighter than after I had watered them yesterday. That kinda suprised me. My water hogs were actually significantly lighter. We haven't been getting rain either. I'm going to have to water every day. I think a gallon a plant should be enough. 10% is 2 gallons though. I'd rather understand water than over water but I'd like to get it so I'm not watering every day. Or every other day which I'm sure is what will happen. I'm planning on having to water tomorrow. I'm still going to mull over whether I should apply the BT tonight or not. I probably should. They aren't a problem now but further in flowering they wreck havoc on flowers. Eating and shitting and spreading mold every where they go. There's no way I got all of them. I keep saying it but never do it but I should get netting. That would basically solve this problem. Oh, didn't get a chance to upload the video I made. I'll do it tomm. UPDATE: THAT "SPIDEY SENSE" STARTED TINGLING AGAIN SO I DROVE TO INSPECT MY PLANTS. ITS BEEN SUNNY AND HIGH 80S/90. ALMOST ALL PLANTS WERE DROOPING. SOME WERENT FEATHER LIGHT BUT THEY WERE LIGHT AND DROOPING. THE WIND WAS WHIPPING AND WHEN IT DOES THAT IT DRIES THOSE BAGS OUT QUICK. INTERESTING ENOUGH THE EVENT HORIZON THATS IN THECMIDDLE OF THE CAGE SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES ABDCPROTECTED FROM THE WIND STILL HAS WEIGHT. IT LOOKED A LITTLE DROOPY BUT DOESNT GETCTHE WIND THE OTHERS DUE. IM WONDERING IF I COULD BE OVER WATERING THAT ONE PLANT WITH THE FREQUENCY OF WATERING. THE SOIL WAS DUSTY AND DRY BUT WHEN I STUCK MY FINGER IN SOME DIRT STUCK TO IT SO I DIDNT WATER THAT ONE PLANT. I MIXED UP EIGHT GALLONS OF WATER AND GAVECEVERYTHING A GALLON. I GAVE A HALF GALLON TO THE PLABT IN THE 10 AND BRIEFLY HIT THE CONTAINER PLANTS. THE REMAINING HALF GALLON WAS ADDED TO THE PLANTSCTHAT ARE USING THE MOST WATER. GMOS WERE USING MORE THAN ANYTHING BUT THAT SHERB PIE AND TOASTED TOFFY SEEM TO HAVE CAUGHT UP. LOOKED FIR PILLARS BUT COULDNT FIND ANY. ILL UPDATE TOMORROW. IM WONDERING IF I SHOULD GO FOR A GALLON AND A HALF EVERY TWO DAYS OR A GALLON A DAY DURING THIS HOT WEATHER. LUCKILY I CAN KEEP AN EYE OUT AND FIGURE IT OUT. I HAVEXA COUPLE PLANTS THAT ARE TRANSITIONING TO FLOWER. EXCITING TIMES! OH AND AFTER WATERING THE GIRLS PICKED THEMSELVES RIGHT BACK UP. I KNOW ITS NOT IDEAL BUT ITS BETTER TO UNDER WATER THAN OVER WATER. I STILL HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT FUSARIUM. 7/22 Much cooler day. It's 74 at 9:40 bit it was 60 earlier this morning. With the cooler weather I'm hoping I won't have to water as often. I think I hadn't been giving them enough water at a time for the conditions. I'm not going to water again until all bags are super light. That's what I had been doing but I don't want my plants getting to the drooping phase. Luckily I check on them multiple times a day and I've got the cams. I caught approx half a dozen inch worms this morning. I'm wondering if I should still spray. If I'm catching this many there has to be more. I'm not removing the damaged leaves if they aren't bad so it's hard to tell if it's new damage. It was extremely windy yesterday. I assume that is what helped dry the bags put so much. I already doubled the water intake so I don't want to do anything else until I see how this turns out. I figure I'll have to water tomorrow. We are getting some rain in the next few days but not much. 7/23 This will be the last entry for this week so I can get back on track. If you've been following along you'd see that I had pretty much doubled my watering amount due to it not lasting until next watering. I take the weather reports I to account. They have really been passing me off lately. On vacation we were supposed to get two large storms at my grow. We got ZERO rain amd it just followed me to my vacation (where the weather WAS supposed to be sunny) and poured some of the heaviest shert rain I've seen. Now after I over watered my plants (just a litttle) I found out the weather changed. Today, tomorrow and Wednesday we were supposed to get TINY amounts of rain. It totaled like .35in for the 3 days. I'm thinking cool. Instead it get changed last minute to supposably get an inch of rain JUST today. It was sheet rain earlier but it has totally stopped raining. The GMOs aren't really over-watered (too bad at least) and look normal. Nothing looks BAD. I can just tell by the weight that some of these girls are overwatered. That's OK though. If we get any wind (which we should) it will dry those bags out quick. With the gmos and that sherb pie it would be very hard to overwatercto the point where it hurts the plant. I just need to realize the GMO'S just use more water. They are asparagusing right up. Event horizon is in early flower. Everytime I go to my grow I'm able to kill multiple pests. I got at least 5 moth larvae, a couple moths, couple leafhoppers and I missed this giant grasshopper that had been going to town chomping leaves. I think it's time to start nutes. I also think I'm going to spray either BT or captain Jack's after this rain. I don't need pillars come flower. Since I can SEE multiple pests it might be best to use something broader like spinosad but we will see how it goes. I also need to switch a couple plants for better room, defoliate and add the trellis and second set of supports. The first support kinda keeps the branches together so I need to lst and tie down branches to open up the plant.

Welcome to the last week of veg the lady’s have been switched to flower last night. Nothing but buds from here on in! This week was all about setting the lady’s bud sites up as even as I could and a little defoliation before they were flipped. All the plants are within a inch of each other and each plant tops are bang on same height. We stuck with the feed twice a week for the last week of veg and are right on the line of nute burn on one of the girls, we will go easy on the start of the bloom nutes and wait until around week 4 or 5 to go back to the feed twice a week again. I’m interested to see if the gold leaf will stretch out a lot more than the super skunk and big bud, if so I might have my hands full trying to keep them all under the same lights. Until next week happy growing 🌲🌲

**Mar-23rd added a couple random photos to end the week. Will start the 3rd week of flower the 24th** **Added a few new photos till the new week update starts.Mar22nd** Found out some info on this thing figured I'd share. Here's a link that will make it easier if interested about the Fascation mutation. LINK - https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/columns/cultivation-matters/article/15693251/funky-stems This things a sight still. Not a single clue what she's doing up there, the stem is oddly wide aswell. All around a strange form going on with a ish ton of side branches trying to plop out. Had to defoliate quite a bit with the amount of leafs that were laying onto of each other wasn't great just dropped a few REALLY don't wanna stress this one at all. She's been doing well tho, she's been moved into the 4x4 with her sisters to get alil more room since the vaderade and Gary plants are taking over the 3x3. This one's interesting tho, can't wait to see this in another 2 or 3 weeks. Really appreciate anyone checking these things out , hope ur all doin well !!

Que pasa familia, finalizamos segunda semana de floración, no veas que color y que vigor, están muy sanas, se agradece la luz del LED. Controlamos ph 6,5 temperatura y humedad dentro de los parámetros correctos. Añadimos bud candy para ir aportando a las flores los nutrientes necesarios para una mejor formación y sabor. Por lo demás nada nuevo, todo va bien, entre riego y riego son 72h lo que pasan , en vez de 48h como pasa con el sodio. También se agradece en ese aspecto. Un saludo fumetillas y muy buenos humos 💨

Week 5 since repot Seemed to have perked back up. After running some ec reading it's coming out of my run off at 1.7 Which is on the danger side or so I'm told. So I have cut back on the nutes and only giving it 5ml or grow per 5 litre. Hoping the ec in the run of changes this week. Was hoping to flip to flower at the start of week 7. Never done a short veg while running seeds and interested to see the out come.

Lots of SCROG work this week tucking the girls in. It seems to be very rewarding but takes a lot of time. The plants seem to have grown a lot in just a couple of days this week. Really happy about that 😌 It's been a good week and it feels like some of the work put in seems to be showing. We are having some issues with the pH raising in our tank. It was 6.6 today so we lowered it. Hopefully that's not the cause of the yellowing leaf tips. Will have to keep a better eye on the pH from now on. Humidity and lack of space keeps making some leaves wet, so we put a third fan under the canopy. Let's hope the air circulation is sufficient now. We are done with defoliation for now. One lonely thrip was seen flying around the grow area but they are getting less and less. We've been anticipating flipping the flower the whole week. Got a better dehumidifier at the end of the week, and did it. Humidity was finally in check and the flower was flipped on day 41 😎 Every SCROG hole was filled with a bud site before the flip. That amounts to a crazy number of 225. Let's see how they develop!

I introduced them to the nutrients on day 15 and as you can see by day 17 all four plants seem to be taking well to them.

Day 17 (starting Aug. 2nd afternoon): Will water them with a lightly enhanced RO water that was imprinted with frequencies via a PEMF coli for about one day when their day starts. After being away over the extended weekend, on day 20 ladies have grown very nicely. I topped nr# 1 and #2 after I took the photos and will give them a bit of water with Root Complex to compensate for the shock later. Sadly my brilliant control equipment has crashed completely and will not even take a photo currently. Yikes. Hope I can get it back alive this week again. Also turned the left light up by another 20%, now running at 40 W, and lifted it a bit. Eye inspection told me lights were lower here and ladies can get a bit more. At the end of their day 20, they seem to have survived the topping well. I managed to cut right above the new nodes which are already growing. Ladies are at 20 cm height before going to sleep. Day 21 shows great growth again, with lady #1 being at 22 cm now and lady #2, while being a bit less tall, extremely good side branch development. I hope that the rearranged lighting on the left side of the tent will make #1 grow a bit bushier too. Besides from that, I am really happy I tested Hesi HPE. I had such enormous success with room plants that made me want to see how Cannabis plants react to it. It will not add much to salinity, so I dared to add it quite early. While the photos are processed to compensate the lighting, I did not add much to saturation, so leaves are indeed of a very vivid, luscious green and ladies looking extremely healthy. Speed of growth has increased too as the added video shows. It also tells me lighting is enough – they are turning their leaves away right at the end of their day. I am really uncertain if I will change to usual Hesi grow fertiliser at all … Did a bit of LST to the lowest branches of lady #2 which spread almost to the border of her pot. Both temporary girls will leave the tent soon, so that the competitors will have maximum space to develop. Day 22, end of week 3: Outside girl went to get fresh air from now on. Wishing her luck, good weather and not a single male in the vicinity. I rearranged the lights and positioned them a bit higher. First preflower signs appeared on the ladies, so I will change the lighting phase when I return next week. Currently, I have them at 18/6, 45 cm above heads, with 80% running to a total of 80 W. I wasn’t so lucky topping #2. She has only one "top side" branch now … But grows extremely well, so ok!

Can't complain with another good week! More pistils are starting to turn orange and buds are looking good and healthy, I've got no burnt tips and so im guessing the nutrient mix is balance nicely after removing the silica after it kept reacting with the mix. Done another defoliation to get that light where it's needed, im very happy with these two plants as they are only my 2nd and 3rd plants I've ever grown. Thanks for stopping by✌️

Been away for more than a week so unfortunately missed week 3 of the diary. During my absence baby girl grew well and became pretty big already, especially considering her state before. Decided to try LST and brought down the top branch. She starts to show couple of white hairs so next week should be the start of flowering. Branch went up well on the next day after tie down. Removed larger leaves blocking the light, baby looks great.

Day 71. Huge lack of food, girls are eating themself and size of NL brings me tears, had huge hopes for that plant ..... Bob is way behind, on cola of SBG is 20% amber ... Stupid to grow two plants in one pot ... But ... GSC is becoming little princes! her colours, smell , frost - I love it ! Think it will be very solid and dense buds too ... Few weeks left max, only water till chop Video and few photos were taken before some yellow or dead leaf collection. Happy Growing !!!
