Hola Mista Marlboro 🦉 Tobaccos start to bloom this week so it's time to cut them out. Or snap. Left flowers for biggest plant so we see also how it produces seeds. Same destiny for sucker leaf's. Watering oldest last time with nutrients. Test crop is done. Just oldest and lowest leaf's from shadow that won't produce anything anyways. Hanging on my wood shed now. Excited 😆 With smokey Hopes 🚬

Paper towel in ziplock bag method. First seed went wrong. Added small video today of the seedling going into the soil. Almost dropped my phone during recording, yes, you can laugh.

Being my first grow not 100% sure what was going on there.. They did slow growth for a few days..

Runtz Punch is doing good. She is pushing her flowering more with the light changed. She had a solution change today and will be getting more training in the near future. Thank you Herbies seeds, Athena, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

Buenas a tod@s.... Última semana de estas preciosas niñas, se han vuelto demasiado grandes, cogollos duros como el acero y pesdos como rocas... Entre hoy y mañana ya le doy el último riego con agua sola y después corte y a secar, con la calma... Cómo cada cultivo es hermoso ver crecer estás plantas, aunq las variedades son las mismas son muy diferentes q, como los hermanos o los dedos de la mano... Me pone contento y al mismo tiempo triste terminar con ellas, pero para eso están... Espero q les halla gustado el proceso de mi humilde crecimiento, espero sacar buen gramaje y llegar a un buen número, el próximo diario ya será de cosecha... Buenos humos para todos... Un saludo... 💨🙏🏻💪🏻🤗 😎💀🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

11/21/2020 Soaked in water 24 hours all seed fell to bottom, put in paper towel over night and 6 out of 10 have sprouted. In this cross I will be looking for powdery mildew immunity first and foremost. ( goal achieved see week 15) Also hope to make cookie cake stretch more and bring a sativa influence. 11/28/2020 One week old today 5 out of 10, 6th sprout had stem rot 60% germination. Now hope for 3 girls at least 🙏

- Because it was very windy, I added some soil to support the plant. Once a week it is poured with 1 liter. - Dadurch das es sehr windig war habe ich etwas Erde dazugegeben um die Pflanze zu stützen. Einmal die Woche wird mir 1 Liter gegossen.

9/5 Beautiful weather. The smell is amazing. Much stronger than previous years. I watered everything 2 gallons yesterday with the exception of the 10 and the tub. Found a few moth larvae but I found many more lady bug larvae. Flowers are EXPLODING! I've got one pheno that I think will be done in two weeks. I'm close to the flowering time on that strain anyway amd I labeled flower late. I need to bring my loup and check trichs. Such an exciting time of year! Leaf blower started and I was able to blow off the entire garden. UPDATE: WENT OVER WITH THE TRICH SCOPE AND LOOKED AT THE 10TH PLANETS. VERY FROSTY! THEY HAVE SOME PLUMPING UP TO DO AND THE PISTLES NEED TO RETRACT A BIT MORE ON SOME OF THE FLOWERS. WE'RE GETTING CLOSE THOUGH. PISTLES ARE CHANGING IRANGE AND RED AND STRARTING TO RETRACT. BUDS ARE SWELLING (ON EVERYTHING). I DID NOTICE THAT THE PLANT WITH THOSE MARKINGS HAD SOME APHIDS ON IT. I HAVE A SHIT TON OF LADY BUGS/BEETLES AND THERE LARVAE. THEYVE BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB KEEPING THINGS IN CHECK. THAT AND MY CAGE IS BETWEEN TWO BIRD FEEDERS SO BIRDS ARE ALWAYS DARTING IN AND OUT SO I ASSUME THEYRE EATING SOMETHING. THIS IS BY FAR MY BEST YEAR SO FAR. PURPLE PUNCH HAS DENSE COLAS BIT LOTS OF PISTOLS STILL YELLOW REACHING UO TO FORM WHAT WILL BE MASSIVE COLAS. I THINK IM GOING TO HAVE TWO LITER COLA BOTTLE SIZED COLAS ON ONE PLANT. ILL BE SURPRISED IF I DIDNT. THERE ARE TWO PHENOMES OF THE BLUEBERRY CHEESE IT SEEMS. THREE ARE MUCH FURTHER ALONG THEN THE OTHER TWO. THOSE TOTHER TWO LOOK FAR MORE SATIVAISH. I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS! 9/6 Brought the trich scope over last night. Things are getting frosty and coming along quite nicely. The smell when I walk in the cage now is overwhelming. It's like getting hit in the face with a wet bud. I've been noticing more and more lady bug larvae. I noticed a bud worm and tried to find it again after I entered the cage and one if the large lady bug larvae was eating it! Debating whether or not to apply BT. Still have what looks like a calcium deficiency on that one plant but I lose less and less leaves each day. It soesnt have MANY more big fan leaves to keep dropping. Oh well. I'm keeping an eye on it and as long as it's not pests or fungal than whatever. That plant is flowering rapidly to catch up with her sisters. Since my return at growing cannabis I would say rhis has been my best yet. I am super proud with how things are going. If I can keep poo this up for another month I'll be golden. I plan to harvest the 10th planet's in stages (when ready). At least with the two up front and MAYBE the other. That way it would give a chance for the bottom that disnt get as much sun as the top to "catch up". I've do s rhis before with monster crops and it worked good. I plan on watering tonight. Leaves are turning yell8w and dieing on tje big cheese and the two purple punches in the back. I think that I've used most nutrients from my soil and what I'm putting back in isn't enough to cover their needs. When I fed the p.p. in the tub I could notice that it's leaves started greening right up. I'll check last feed and if I need to ill up the dosage. 10th planet doesn't really like a lot of nutes so I have to be careful. This is something lots have discovered. Exciting time! Had a stranger last night but nobody can get past the dog or the motion sensors or the cacophony of measures I've taken to secure my medicine. Not even sure it was a person but still. The fence is electrified at night so they can have fun trying. UPDATE: Sunny and like 85 all day. Went over around two and noticed a 10th planet slightly drooping. Everything was super light. I gave all the 20's 2 gallons the 30 on the grow bag got 2.5 the 30 in the tub got 1, the 10 got 1 and the 50 got 2. I then fed. Since the 10th planet's are a little further ahead I fed them a little different. I just removed the grow big since they are really green anyway and I also upped the liquid kool bloom to 1 tsp per gallon and fed a quart to everything. A little more for the 10th planet 30gal in the bag and the blueberry cheese in the fifty. The rest of the feed was the same as listed above. Seeing TONS of lady big larvae. Have to he careful when defoliating as I want them to stick around. 9/7 FED and watered yesterday. We've had some super hot weather lately. Hottest all summer. In the 80s-90s. Got a ladder and inspected buds. Found some bud rot on the purple punch. Sucks having to cut off the top of a cola but if I don't it will just spread. This purple punch still has long stigmas reaching up to form a solid cola on the branch. I know it's got a little ways to go. One of the 10th planet phenos on the other hand is looking close to done. Trichs are frosty and milky not much amber. Stigmas turned red and have retracted into the bud. I'm going to wait for this tester to dry and take it from there. We are supposed to get a few days of rain coming up. I don't want to risk all those beautiful ALMOST finished buds to bud rot. I may move it into the garage if we get a lot if rain. Let it have a few days of darkness. Or I could just open the door and it would still get sun and remain dry. This strain smells and looks SOOO good. I can't wait to try it. I'm going backbover to check all the tops. The blue cheese plants are HUGE! With HUGE buds. The trichs just aren't developed enough. It is super frosty but the flowers haven't taken on that swell. It's happening ob one plant and its looking like the colas will he like two liter soda bottles. The thing is that's an awful lot of room for mold. Oh well. That's how I grew them. One thing is for certain. After seeing what the pillars can do I can't rely on the lady bugs to get rid of them all. I'll be spraying BT tonight on everything but that early 10th planet phenome. UPDATE: INSTALLED MORE CAMS. I HAVE ONE 10TH PLANET THAT IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. REAL CLOSE. IM GOING TO SMOKE THE TESTER BUD FIRST BUT I THINK IM GOING TO HARVEST THE EARLY PHENOME IN PARTS. LOOKING AT THE WEATHER IT APPEARS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SEVERAL DAYS OF RAIN. IF SO ILL TAKE THE TOP AND LET THE UNDER CANOPY DEVELOP MORE. ILL LEAVE THE OTHER TWO 10TH PLANETS THAT WERE MONSTER CROPPED AS THEY STILL HAVE SOME SWELLING TO DO. I LOOKED AT TRICHS WITH A JEWLERS LOUPE. I REALL MISS MY USB SCOPE. PURPLE PUNCH HAS THE BIGGEST FLOWERS BUT THE ARENY AS DEVELOPED. I NEED TO GET ANOTHER. ITS WORTJ EVERY PENNY. I GOT ON A LADDER AND CHECKED THE TOP COLAS FOR DAMAGE OR ROT. NOTHING SO FAR KNOCK ON WOOD. EACH PLANT HAS A UNIQUE SMELL BUT WHEN YOU ENTER THE GARDEN THE BLEND TOGETHER AND ITS LIKE GETTING HIT WITH A WET BUD IN TGE FACE. I SHOULD GO SPRAY EVERYTHING ELSE WITH BT TONIGHT. LADY BUGS CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. 9/8 Cut some bud rot off a 10th planet and a purple punch. Definitely from pillars. Doesn't hurt that it's been 90 with 90rh. Thunderstorms are coming and it's gonna rain a few days. Plants will need water I'm sure. I tried some of the purple punch bud I cut off (after I dug all the rot out) and it was good! That plant still has white stigmas as and can go a lot longer. Trich scope says the 10th planet's are done. I'm taking the tops off two before the rain starts. I'll leave the one that's a LITTLE further behind and see what comes of it. Even the more sativa dominant blue cheese plants are frosting up quit nicely. I haven't been able to put up videos as my phone has been full and it wouldn't let me even TAKE a video. I need to spray bt tonight. I went through the garden this morning and despite all the lady bugs I found two more bud worms. I think taking the stuff that's done off those two plants is the smart thing to do. I should take all three and just leave the bottoms but I'll just go with the two. I'll update later after I figure out what I'm going to do. UPDATE: TOOK MOST OF THE 10TH PLANET AS IT WAS DONE. I WOULD'VE TAKEN ONE OF THE OTHER 10TH PLANETS BUT IT TOOK WAAAY TO LONG. WATERED EVERYTHING 2 GALLONS EXCEPT 1 FOR THE 10 AND TuB AND 2.5 FOR MY 10TH P IN THE 30. ILL HAVE TO FINISH AND UPLOAD THIS SHIT LATER. I DID A VIDEO. 9/9 Most of one 10th planet is hanging. Big yield. Looking at the trichs I think Im going to take the other one that looks done. If i did id do the same thing. I did with the other. Take the tops and allow the bottom to develop a little more. Smoked the tester bud and was pleasantl u surprised. Im not using that for acsmoke report. Purple punch and blue cheese both need more time bit are swelling like crazy. Colas should be two liter bottles. Worried about bud rot with buds that big. Thos morning four birds were perched on my cage. I see them dart in and out grabbing a snack. I have let my 'leafing' and general upkeep slip. My wife has been sick and I've been in the hospital with her. So I need to defoliate some things and I'd like to chop that other 10th planet and leave the biggest one a little longer. This one i think has reached diminishing returns or damb close. I don't know if the video uploaded. Havent been doing many because my phone was full and it wouldn't even open the camera. I never said I wad tech savvy. I'll keep this updated. Fucking video keeps resizing but won't fully upload and I've got 5g right now so it must be the site. Been at the hospital all day with 5g and can't upload videos. It's the site. 9/10 Wife was rushed to emergency surgery. Was in hospital all day yesterday. Was able to take the top half of the krber 10th planet that was done. I need to water but it's 100% chance of rain. If i don't make it out dadxwill have to do it. Boy this strain is pungent. BUDS are getting way bigger and trichs are piling on. It's been a great finishing season so far. This will be one of my best years. I'll take more pictures qnd videos as soon as I'm not in an emergency situation. I tried uploading the video again but it loads and then won't resize. It's super annoying and I'm now unable to upload videos. Great. UPDATE: GOT HOME AT LIKE 8. NOW I REALLY NEED AN ATTORNEY. NINE HOURS AT THE ER. FOUR OUT OF 7 DAYS. I DEFOLIATED DEAD LEAVES BUT IM WAY BEHIND. IVE GOT SOME TRIMMIMG TO DO. IM GLAD I PULLED THAT 10TH PLANET TOPS OFF THOSE 2 PLANTS BEFORE THIS RAIN. THE TRICHSCARE AMBER. ITS SO STICKY BUGS WILL LAND AND CANT TAKE OFF LOL. ILL GET SOME PICTURES OF SOME STUFF DRIED TOMORROW. PICS UPLOAD VIDEOS WONT. THEY WONT RESIZE. 9/11 Finally got some rain yesterday. Still need to apply BT. I've found some rot and just removed the whole bud. Also seeing some septoria on one plant. It's everywhere though and I don't change my clothes like I should. Having been in the ER for 9hrs 4 out of 7 days my plants were neglected. I defoliated dead and dieing leaves. Still don't know what that deficiency on the one plant is but it's still there. Doesn't effect the flowers though. I watered everything a gallon today since it's "supposed to rain." I fed everything lightly with a powerase bottle. TRIED UPLOADING A BUNCH OF PICTURES BUT WHEN IT GETS TO RESIZE IT DISAPPEARS. I smoked my tester 10th planet bud and WOW. Everything I could ask for in a cannabis strain. I'll wait to do a smoke report after I smoke the fully finished product and the other plants come down but I am super impressed! Looking at it through a scope is amazing as well. After i smoked that joint i had my dab ready but i didnt want to change how i was feeling so I held off. Granted tolerance is down due to all the hosputal visits but normally very high. Once this site is fixed I'll upload some points of things dry. I have more work to do 9/12 I've tried adding pictures and videos probably 50 times and as soon as they get uploaded they won't resize so I can't start a new week. I'll try uploading them here. Nope. I'll use another platform if you guys can't fix this. This is my best year and I can't upload shit! Raining like hell. Watered and fec yesterday. Everything got a piwerade bottle. Got a new electric Milwaukee leaf blower. Defoliated what needed it and came over to soaked buds. Purple punchvis the only one experiencing botrytis and i just cur the whole thing off. The other purple punches dont have any rot. Boy this is the strongest smelling cannabis ive grown and i cant even put up a picture. Washed 36 quart jars amd a few bigger one. Im looking into getting the bucket conversion fir storage. As soon as tge site is fixed ill put up my pictures and videos. Rain is expected for a few days. My other tenth planet looks ficking done too. Its not getting bud rot so im going to leave it. Its fucking huge. I had to tie up even the secondary or tertiary branches on some plants. Still no breaks though. Vertical trellis literally saved the day. 9/13 This site must be down. I can't upload any pictures or videos. I can't even start a new week. They upload but then they 'fail to load' or some message. This is the most important part. Anyway I shook everything then used the new electric leaf blower. I'm getting some bud rot on the purple punch in the 20. The biggest one. With this rain and the pillars I'm having to cut off more everyday. Rain today but after this rain lmore stuff will be coming down. That 10th planet is done done. I need to wait for the rain to stop and I'll chop the tops off that monster cropped plant. The blueberry cheese will be the last one done but the flowers are huge and covered in crystals. The BIG cheese is going to be a huge yield. I wish I coukd show you guys. Once they get this fixed ill update. Everything is going good though despite this rain. We have a hurricane coming but I could literally take everything NOW amd still have a BANGING harvest. All I've taken is the top of two 10th planet's and it's already the best I've ever done. Some of that plant is left to see if it improves but thats doubtful. I need to keep am eye on that one plant and I'm gonna ride this shit out. The electric leafblower works great. Of and I found some manners in a bud I removed from a purple punch due to bud rot. These plants are close though. Very close. STILL UNABLE TO POST PICTURES OR VIDEOS AS OF 2:30 9/14 Apparently this problem uploading pictures and videos is not just me. Its universal. I defol8at3d what needed it and checked in between the buds of cola for rot. I FOUND A bumblebee STUCK inside a big putmrple punch cola. He had broken a leg it looked like though amd he ended up falling. Those huge purple punch buds are rotting more everyday with this rain. It's only effecting one plant though. We are suppised to be getting a hurricane coming through. My tenth planet is DONE DONE but that purple punch plant needs to come down. No problems with the other purple punches or 10th planet which has nugs just as tight. Blue cheese has even BIGGER buds (had to stake THEM ALL) but since they aren't as dense I'm not getting any bud rot. Colas are tye size of a baseball batvor bigger and there is a lot of them. Best year ive ever had. I hope this site fixes soon. This is tge strongest smelling cannabis I have ever grown. Realistically i should take the other 10th planet's before the hurricane. As soon as shit dries out I'll be taking some more stiff before the hurricane. Those blue cheese have been through hell and are very resilient. I'm gonna let them ride the hurricane out I think. So sad I can't share my pictures or videos. Orrrrr my harvest report. COME ON GROW DIARIES

Ride on 😃😃😃😃😃

April 5, 2024 Day 50 This week will focus mostly on ScrOG and watering. The lighting will stay roughly the same as the net will be keeping the canopy a bit lower for a bit longer. Nutrients have changed as well. The SCroG net has been installed at 19" from soil. Both plants, again, are the same size and shape and structure and leaf coverage and all. So I had to pull down about 3 tops per plant. The rest of the canopy is just at 19". I plan to keep it that way for at least this week. Hopefully they don't get away from me. The nutrients have been changed around a bit as well. I removed the Big Bud and Sensizym and replaced them with Overdrive at 8 ml/gal and increased Bud Candy to 8 ml/gal for the next 2 to 3 weeks. Then we are looking at flushing for the rest of the grow. So maybe a week and a half of flushing. The lighting was adjusted to match the SCroG net. It is now perfectly set to 24" with the power remaining at 90%. The DLI is at 45 mol/m²/d through most of the canopy. With the net in place, I have a couple extra inches to work with above the light. Plenty of space now. The environment will also be tweaked a bit this week as well. I'm going to try to get the humidity down to 50% by the end of the week, but I always have trouble controlling the environment. I don't expect this to be any different. We shall see. As long as the weather doesn't go insane like it did for my last run, I should be able to keep it steady. Maybe not exactly where I want it, but steady as she goes. I'm also planning on dropping the temp down to 75° for the rest of the run. I'll also be running slightly cooler night temps at that time as well. Maybe 66° would be good. Maybe 65° to bring out that beautiful purple. Update: I forgot to say that I took off a few leaves that were blocking other bud sites. Not many, just to help a bit. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 54.3% VPD: 1.32 kPa April 6, 2024 Watering day today. Both ladies got a full gallon refill today. I also did a bit of research on the Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule. Of course I have an autoflower, so it's not quite the same. But I can follow a different schedule that matches my 5 week veg stage. I'll be adding the Big Bud back in and removing the Overdrive for this week. I'll review what the plants are doing and decide what action to take next week. I'm pretty sure I'll need to wait another week before adding the Overdrive and pulling out the Big Bud. I did leave the Bud Candy at 8 ml/gal though. They are definitely in need of more candy. Again, both plants are basically the same. They are both sticky all over now. Even the stems are covered in trichomes. Especially so early in the flowering stage. I didn't check the roots on Tropicana Cookies, mostly because with the net in there I have extremely limited space to work. But we all know the roots are everywhere on the bottom of the container. Tropicana C, on the other hand is starting to show more on the outside of the container. I'll check the bottom tomorrow along with Tropicana Cookies. The lighting hasn't changed at all. Mostly because I brought the tops back down under the net. So the DLI is the same at 45 mol/m²/d and 24" from the canopy. Perfect. Now, I don't really understand how to SCroG really. I know to bring the tops back under the net, but what about raising the net to accommodate the growth of the tops after everything is level again. There are some tops that aren't quite at the net yet, but the whole tent is like that, hence the net in place. The environment is pretty good today. The temp is spot on at 75.6° and the humidity is a bit high at 56.7%. But the VPD is still in that perfection range at 1.30 kPa. Update: I ended up snipping some leaves from both ladies. There were a few massive ones that were covering multiple bud sites. There were a few others in the lower part of the canopy that were blocking the lower bud sites. Now there's a good amount of leaf coverage. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.3° RH: 54.6% VPD: 1.36 kPa April 7, 2024 Looking good today. Both ladies had a couple tops pulled back down. I think I'll continue to pull them down until the rest of the plant starts to grow above the net. It's very close. Maybe another couple of days. Tropicana Cookies looks great! Excellent leaf coverage and bud sites developing everywhere. There really isn't much else to say about it. Roots are inaccessible to me now with the net up and the plant being in a rear quadrant. Tropicana C is starting to develop a beautiful root structure along the bottom of the container. All the way around the bottom outside and the very bottom is coming in super evenly. She also had a couple tops pulled down. The rest is catching up. I'm expecting great things. No watering needed today. I'd say another couple of days, then a full reservoir top off for each. Lighting won't be changed for a few more days. When the tops all start climbing over the net, I'll have to either raise the light or drop the power. I still have plenty of space to lift the light, so I'll leave the power the same unless I need to. Let's hope it only needs to be to 80% if need be. The environment is basically perfect with the temp being at 77° and the humidity at 55%. The VPD is perfect at 1.33 kPa. I couldn't ask for better conditions. I'll be gradually dropping the humidity down to 50% and raise the VPD to 1.45 kPa starting next week. Eventually, I want the humidity down to 40% and the temp around 75°. I should be able to pull it off. Especially if I do one final defoliation. I'm not sure that I will to be honest. Unless these leaves get massive, the coverage is excellent. Update: As I did yesterday, I was further inspecting both plants and discovered a few leaves that needed to go. Just a few km each plant. I had to note it though. Cutting leaves is an important thing to note and a step to be careful with. Too much and the plant could get stressed out. So far I'm seeing zero signs of stress. I don't take a lot though, so I don't expect any stress at all. This is only based on my past experiences. I learned that lack of defoliation can be a bad thing. Not for air and light, but for bud formation. My ants would get so full, they overlapped and left no space for the buds to fully develop. It resulted in airy loose buds. Tasty though. Anyway, the lesson was that I don't take enough off. This time around I'm taking just a bit more and the plants seem to be loving it. Lots and lots of well formed buds deep in the canopy. I'm honestly not too sure how tall they will get. The buds are developing quite nicely, but I can tell they are still very new and have a lot of growing to do. That being said, this should be around when the plants take off. We shall see how things go over the next week or so. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.1° RH: 54.4% VPD: 1.36 kPa April 8, 2024 Not a lot going on today. Both ladies look the same still. No issues, no stress, just growth. Nearly all the tops are breaking past the net now, so everything is wonderful. No watering today. They have about 2/3 water left, so maybe another day or so. We shall see. With the plants breaking past the net, I had to lift the light today. Not only did I have to lift it, I also had to drop the power down to 80%. No idea why the DLI was so high, but it was at 50 mol/m²/d. Now it's back down to 45 mol/m²/d. Interesting though. I wonder if my meter needs calibration. Maybe. I'll check it out later. For now I'm looking for slight praying. The environment today is just as good as it has been for most of the grow. The temp is at 76° today. It dipped down to 74° for a couple hours, but picked back up a little while ago as I thought it would. The humidity has been wonderful as well. It's fluctuating between 54% and 56%. Wonderful! Update: The light changes were perfect. Just enough to get some slight praying. Everything is good in the world. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.5° RH: 53.9% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 9, 2024 Nothing to do today except water. Both plants needed a full reservoir refill. So it's taking them roughly 2 days to empty now. Good to know. They are getting thirsty and that means more growth and production. They both have a decent amount of trichomes coming through now. What a wonderful aroma coming from them. Crisp and sour with a fruity base. Very nice indeed. They don't have any differences, so I can't really make a report about each one without writing the same thing, so I'll just describe them as a whole. Both plants have nice roots coverage on the bottom and lower sides of the containers. Their leaf coverage is basically perfect for what I'm looking for. Plenty of foliage to catch the light, but not too much to overshadow bud sites. There's barely any overlapping leaves and zero clusters. The color is wonderful and they are super healthy. The branches are a bit thin and still very pliable. I think I can expect that to change in the next few days or so. I also took just a few leaves off both plants total. Nothing much, but there was a cluster and an overlapping leaf. Just enough to keep the lower tops free and clear of extra foliage. I didn't move the light today. There aren't enough tops over the net to justify it yet. When the stretch finishes up, I'll reevaluate the light position and power to best cover the whole canopy without over doing it with the taller top sites. I may have to move the light up tomorrow though. Either way, it'll need to be paid attention to over the next week or 2. The environment is still fantastic. And it's beautiful out today. The tent is feeling it and is happily at 75° and 51% humidity. The VPD is very happy at 1.42 kPa. For this exact age of the plants and their progress, the VPD should start to rise a bit to 1.40, so it's now spot on. I think I can bring it up to 1.6 without any issues. That should be around 75° and 45% humidity. I'll see what I can do over the next 2 weeks or so. It should be very simple to bring it down to that temp and humidity. Especially if I do a final defoliation. Honestly, I don't think I'll need to do a defoliation at all. Maybe remove a few overlapping leaves and any clusters that pop up. Other than that, it should be fine. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.7° RH: 50.3% VPD: 1.42 kPa April 10, 2024 A little bit of change today. Both plants are completely through the net with Tropicana Cookies suddenly slowing down a bit. Or it's Tropicana C that has sped up. Either way, Tropicana C has completely cleared and stretched above the net. They are solid tops and don't want to risk breaking them, so they are growing straight up now. Honestly, I think it's time to let them finish stretching. Other than the slight height difference, there isn't anything else to mention. They both look super healthy and are growing quite nicely. I can't wait to see what they end up like. The light was raised an inch today. That's specifically due to Tropicana C and her stretch. Unfortunately, I'm nearly out of space for the light to go. Either way, the DLI is back down to 45 mol/m²/d. I am also debating on shrinking the footprint a couple inches. Mostly to increase the intensity for better canopy penetration. I may drop it to 22" instead. The canopy isn't all that deep, so this should give some pretty good bud throughout the whole plant. I'm also considering the SCroG net. Frankly, I would like to pull each plant out for inspection and maintenance. With the net there, it cannot be done. However, if the plants stretch in such a way that I can safely lift the net up and off, I will. It all depends on how they look after stretching has finished up. And of course to make sure the buds aren't weighing down the whole branch. I will say, the internodal spacing is really nice. The environment is way off today. The humidity is high at 58° and the temp is low at 74°. It's definitely hurting the VPD at 1.14 kPa. I'll have to mess with it more to see what I can do. I also didn't snip any leaves off today. They really don't need it. However, they may need it in a couple weeks. We shall see. Grow System Environment: Temp: 77.5° RH: 52.5% VPD: 1.49 kPa April 11, 2024 A bit of a trimming session today for both ladies. Not a full session, mind you, but some trimming was done. Mostly leaves in the lower canopy. I also removed a few leaves that were being crushed against the walls of the tent. Those came off as well. I also removed a couple tie downs to allow for those branches to lift up a bit. With the net in place, there is plenty of space in the canopy for light and airflow. Especially from the original training and the way I defoliated. Both ladies are now covered in sticky and sweet smelling trichomes. I was kind of hoping for the trichomes to show up a week ago, but this is fine. I mean, the stretch isn't even done yet, so I can expect even more trichomes. Speaking of trichomes production, my last grow didn't have much in sticky trichomes. I'm thinking it had to do with the light being entirely way too close. It just burned off the trichomes. This round should be much better with the light so far away. Tropicana Cookies looks fantastic. She has wonderful bud to leaf ratio. Great colors and stretching quite nicely. Her tops are completely level and about an inch above the net total. So e of the tops are taller, but not by much. I'm hoping for at least 24" from her. Tropicana C also looks great. It officially has to tallest cola in the tent. I tried to bend it down into the net, but it's just too stiff and tall now. I may tie it down into the tent. I'll check back later today and decide then. She should hit 24" by the end of the stretch. The lighting will need to be changed I think starting tomorrow. With the height where it is and the intensity, it may need a power increase. I also might drop the light an inch. One or the other. The DLI is a tiny bit low, just below 45 mol/m²/d. The outsides are at 38 mol/m²/d, so the intensity needs to be increased. I'm struggling with the environment today. It's super rainy out and it's causing the tent to be a bit too humid. The temp is fine at 75°, but the humidity is a bit high at 56%. It should be around 50% to 53%. The VPD, of course, is a bit low at 1.33 kPa. It should be above 1.40 kPa at this stage. I'll continue to fight with it for the rest of the day. Although, the forecast says rain for a few days, so that may be a pain in the ass. Don't get me wrong, the humidity will drop down in a couple hours, but the exhaust fan power is at 100%. I'd prefer it down to 50%. Less power and much quieter. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 53.9% VPD: 1.36 kPa

So far so good. Another week has passed and everything looks nice. At the beginning of this week i transplanted the blue cheese and special queen in bigger pots and they dont look so small in comparison to the others. In generell all plants recovered good from the topping and in this week i think i will start with some LST and removing some of the lower leaves. I also raised the lighting higher, because i wanted to see if they stretch themselves a little bit, because they didnt grew so much in height but only developed more leaves, but i think i will lower it again and also increase intensity. Also i added up the fertilizer since i had some yellow colering of the leaves at the bottom, and so far they show no signs of overfeeding. Since it wasn't raining like in the last 2 weeks i took them outside to make some pictures with natural light. So lets go into the next week :)

We broke big cola on central plant and cried a lot. Also we continued partial defoliation time to time. It should be noted that plants began to drink much more, we watered them every three days, but in five to six litres per watering. Girls showed their gender. Next week we expect all plants to bloom, otherwise we'll have to change the light mode.

DAY.54 👃🏿🔥🍦🍨🍧

Welcome to week six! 🌱 Week five was a complete success – all parameters are perfectly aligned. I’ve increased the water conductivity to a solid 3000 and bumped the CO2 level up to 1200 🌿. Light intensity is now set at 1400 µmol in the center and 1000 at the edges, which will keep the plants strong in their generative state 🌞. I’ll maintain these levels until the end of the third week and then start slowly removing the large fan leaves to ensure the buds get plenty of light 💡✨. I’m also trying something new to activate the “Emerson effect” 🌄: I’m running the deep red lights for 5 minutes before sunset and for another 5 minutes after the day ends. This should give the plants a final boost in photosynthesis, helping to maximize their growth potential! Everything’s looking fantastic so far! The Black Cherry has rooted well across different experimental setups, and at the end of the grow, I’ll provide a full report on the best care techniques for both strains 🌺👌. Willkommen in Woche sechs! 🌱 Die fünfte Woche lief perfekt – alle Parameter stimmen. Ich habe die Leitfähigkeit des Wassers auf satte 3000 erhöht und den CO2-Gehalt auf 1200 angehoben 🌿. Die Lichtstärke beträgt jetzt 1400 µmol in der Mitte und 1000 am Rand, was dafür sorgen wird, dass die Pflanzen stark im generativen Zustand bleiben 🌞. Ich werde diese Werte bis Ende der dritten Woche beibehalten und dann langsam damit beginnen, die großen Sonnensegel zu entfernen, damit die Blüten ordentlich Licht abkriegen 💡✨. Zusätzlich probiere ich etwas Neues aus, um den „Emerson-Effekt“ zu aktivieren 🌄: Ich lasse das tiefrote Licht 5 Minuten vor Sonnenuntergang und 5 Minuten nach dem Ende des Tages weiterlaufen. Das sollte der Photosynthese einen letzten Schub geben und das Wachstum der Pflanzen maximal fördern! Bis jetzt sieht alles fantastisch aus! Die Black Cherry ist in verschiedenen Versuchsreihen gut angewachsen, und am Ende des Grows werde ich einen ausführlichen Bericht darüber abgeben, wie sich die beiden Sorten am besten pflegen lassen 🌺👌.

Otra semana más de floración y las plantas presentan un evidente engorde en ellas, por el momento el clima está bastante frío y hay bastante humedad como para una fase de floración pero fuera de eso las plantas lo han sabido llevar de buena forma, ya culminamos con las fertilizaciones y solo estamos aplicando agua de bidón. Próximo semana vendré con otro informe de cómo va el cultivo, espero cosechar en unas 2 semana aproximadamente🧑‍🔬

Aus zeitlichen Gründen gibt es diese Woche nur eine Zeitraffer.

Hi everyone :-) This week a lot of nice things happened in the flower tent :-) Everyone looks super nice, and is growing stronger and more beautiful week by week 😍👌. The blue cheese smells like a dream ;-) As usual from this variety 👍. The kosher tangie is also very, very tasty 👏🏻. Both got Pk 13/14 this week for the last time :-) Everyone else is developing very well 👍, That will be the last diary with several strains together :-) In future everyone will come individually 👌. I wish you a lot of fun with the videos, have a nice weekend, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

Almost to the end. Fading light violet and smelling fantastic like candy skunk. In full flush mode.
