Week 6 Vegetation - "Ruby's" rate of growth continued to increase near the beginning of the week. As expected, this plant is overtaking the twin plant in terms of growth rate now that the bushy triplicate foundation is developed. Kinda reminds me of the "Tortoise & Hare" story about slow and steady winning the race XD With the nodes stretching and growing quickly, I've started to implement tucking of the larger fan leaves under new and smaller shoots. I find this "new growth priority" method paired with LST really maximizes and speeds up the growth in comparison to an untrained plant. Merely anecdotal though! You'll notice that in the 3rd shot, the nodes stretched out in about 2 days and just ballooned! now that's what I'm talking about! nearing the middle of the week and the rate of growth is fast enough that I can't remember to take enough pictures between the new nodes. At this point I'm tucking new leaves almost daily, making paths for the light to reach new growth tips. By the end of the week, I'll need to start tying the nodes to the side before they stretch too far up. If they stretch too far before tying them, they can be a PITA to tie down later with dense foliage and such. Tying them down before they get to this point also keeps the nutrients moving to the "new side-nodes" from these branches. Eventually these will be just as thick as the original main stalk. Luckily this plant seems to be bulking just as much as stretching - yay! UPDATE: As you can see with the last photos added, the branches are almost even with the original top of the plant that was tied down. I gave them a thorough fertigation the night before, and only slight folding of the leaves so I must have choked the roots a bit, but nothing long term.

Old photos but i want it here with me...🍃🍃🍃

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Ok, so bigger news this week, I got rid of one of the plants in the tent as it was an auto vs fast flower :/ and I performed a bunch of LST and some Defoliation to all the plants. This plant did not need a lot of defoliation if any at all. I just trimmed some of the lower nodes off as they would not get all that much light once it started to stretch and tied back some of its branches so it was a bit more even. The growth pattern on this plant vs the others in the tent this aorund is completely different. its so floppy and bendy, I have a feeling I am going to need to break a lot of branches come flower time to keep it from sky rocketing to the top of the tent. This will be the last week they are in Veg and switching to flower cycle next week with a 12/12 photoperiod. I was going to try a 13/11 but I wanted to test out the automatic light functions on the Medic Grows Minisun-2, So this will be relieved next week. Been having issues with PH in the medium again and some nutrient uptake. I am thinking I will switch to another brand I have to use up, trip tonic from my last grow on the balcony. Its a bit more complex and not as easy as mix into water and feed but I think its going to help me solve a lot of the issues I am getting. Given this update is a few days late some of these pics are not from today. the clones in the photos above are from the beginning of the week when I potted them up. They have not done well at all and may not make it. can only hope for the next few weeks they pull through. Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow

Once again GALACTIC buds! And once again cant add the comment lol

Only the Amnesia plants receive fertilizer from now on. The plants look healthy. We defoliated the Ztrawberriez a little for the last time trying to be careful not to cut to much. Looks pretty good I´d say. Im wondering how much they are strechting from now on. We will see the progress of the plants in the course of the week. Amnesia 2 shows some signs of over-fertilization a website said, causing purplish discolouration, on a hand full of leaves. Since its only one plant that has that problem at the moment we arent worried too much. Every Amnesia plant gets the same nutrients with every watering. Regarding the week: The Ztrawberriez is starting turning purplish. We are planning to harvest her next week. Amnesia 1 is loving her life in there. No signs anything negative. Stems got really strong during stretching and looks beatiful. She will keep on getting fertilized water. This plant looks absolutly stunning considering we just let her grow however she wanted As I said before at the start of the week, we had some problem with over-fertilisation on Amnesia 2. During the week it got very much worse caused by be us watering with the same high dose of fertilizer again by accident. It is what is tho. Theres a few leaves affected by this ,which we will cut off, otherwise the plant looks really happy with the new buds getting bigger and bigger. I feel like Amnesia 3 is a ticking time bomb for mold. Because she grew so bushy in such a small space I repetedly cut off leaves. I think this is resulting in a weird kind of grow now.

Harvest time and these smell wonderful hints of gas and sherb terps

I believe I have two weeks left. Trichomes are cloudy, see a spot of amber here and there. Love the couch lock, so waiting for more amber. Limey Skunky smells are strong. Bud shape is like a small pine cone. I have more seeds, so I will definitely search for a mom, after one more harvest.

🍪🥜🍬⛽️

So it is still not over and we are going for an overtime for a good narcotic potency with approx. 10% amber trichomes. I have now, for the last and final highstress push for harvest, 3 hrs of 1000ppfd at the crowns and UV- addlights. This should immeadiatly start the oxidation of trichomes in a sprint distance of time. Additionally I also pushed with drybacks of 48hrs and then refill the trays for another 48hrs drayback until we switch of the lights for 48hrs of darkness, just for maximizing and saving terpenes and skunk- funk smelling. Meanwhile I have completed the first Runtz x Layer Cake harvest cuts in the drying growtent, it has been packed into terpeneloc bags and I will update the harvest soon. In the short clip you could see the first cuts of the already harvested crowns. Not the best cuts 😇😎

If you're not already following my youtube channel go subscribe now! Appreciate it people. Now for these girls. Day 38: All very healthy and well, I said I wouldn't be doing any topping this round and i haven't. Been doing a lot of LST/Bending (haven't used any ties as i dont want holes or marks on my rdwc system buckets) but if anything else im challenging myself. As you can see, plants look quiet bald after defoliation but definitely bounce back better if done right. Opening up the plant so its more bushy and exposing potential bud sites, not rocket science just basic logic. Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during this time.

03/27/2020 start of week #4 flower this girl is in full flower mode can't wait for next week. Did final defoiliating today. All is looking well should start filling out soon. Thank you for checking out my diary🙏 Going to raise lite to see if she will stretch more, pistils popping out like crazy can't wait for Calyxs to swell

Ready for this run

Der Start in Woche 8 ist regnerisch und bewölkt bei kühlen Temperaturen und hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit 😳 The start of week 8 is rainy and cloudy with cool temperatures and high humidity 😳 Day 62 "Haircut" for "Hilde" 😏😉

Fifth week completed. They are showing more and more deficiencies, so I starded feeding more. I also got Bluelab soil pH meter - currently they are around 6.2 - not bad - week ago runoff was adound 5 so I was worried - but 2 waterings of pH 7.2 did the trick. They are back on track. I hope they will eat fast enough to save more leaves till the end - I want to keep them 3 or 4 more weeks. Buds are bulking nicely - they get fatter by the day. And they smell amazing - even with my horrid temperatures - the heat wave is real - AC does not help much though without AC it would be like 40*C in the tent 😵 Till next week! Happy growing everyone! 💪

The new year has begun , and as they say, who first starts, sooner ends, fine! Sleeves up, it starts. 💪😎 This year I start with 2 boxes of 4 pots, 11 liters. After a year of trying light type soil, I start to use main coco, ,perlite and soil, with percentages equal to 80% ,20%, 20%. I previously wet the coconut, previously in a 9-liter brick with warm water, about 4 liters, with the nourishing addition of coconut a + b, put perlite, and finally the soil. Loaded the pots and immediately put to germinate directly in the pot. The box I will use is a mammoth 80lite, purchased 6 months ago, a great product, excellent workmanship, I do not pass a thread of light. As for the lighting I used a MARSHYDRO TS 1000. Is the best novice LED grow light, serving adequate light to 2-4 plants. Its reasonable price, marked yield improvement, and variable output control make it friendly to new growers. Wattage - 150w Veg Coverage - 2.5x2.5 ft Flower Coverage - 2x2. In this diary I will talk about Gorilla glue automatic. This particular and powerful strain was created by crossing Gorilla, Cookies and ruderalis genetics. This resulted in a genetic composition of 30% sativa, 50% indica and 20% ruderalis. Today is the first day since I planted it, from this morning to tonight it came out completely, a small stem with its primordial leaves. the substrate is quite humid, it does not require any addition of water for the moment, the humidity is about 77% with a temperature of 24 degrees with the lights on, 20 degrees with the light off. In the next week we will see what to do. Thanks for reading, if you like, leave a like or a comment! TO NEXT WEEK!! 😎🤙

Buds are getting denser, stickier and stinkier this week. Defoliated a few leaves from each plant throughout the week. Watered every 2 days with a 1/4 gallon to each. They got a mild compost tea beginning of the week to boost the microbial life and their final top dress towards the end of the week. Aerated Compost Tea Recipe (24 hour brew) 2 gallons rain water 2 cups Coast of Maine Lobster Compost 3 tablespoons GS Plant Foods Fish & Kelp 3 tablespoons EWC 1 tablespoon kelp meal 1 tablespoon azomite 2 tablespoons molasses Top Dress per 3 gallon container 3 tablespoons Dr Earth Flower Girl 1 tablespoon Down to Earth All Purpose 1/2 tablespoon Down to Earth crab meal 1/4 cup EWC Day 43 - watered with 50/50 mix of compost tea and rain water pH 6.0 Day 45 - plain rain water pH 6.4 Day 47 - top dress and plain rain water pH 6.4 Day 49 - rain water w/ Recharge @ 1 tsp per gallon and Natural Wet @ 1 tbsp per gallon pH 6.5 StayWeeded ✌️

Start of week 5. Expecting to flower at the end of this week. Hopefully. Added advanced nutes Cal mag and PH perfect micro grow bloom. 2ml/L on day 29 08/29/20. And again on 09/02/20 Auto speed bud is pretty much an experimental strain since its so fast. 65 days from sprout to harvest. 3 are looking really good. The other 3 not so much. We'll see what happens

I am cutting two handful of leafs every third day by now. Trying to figure out where the plant sends the least amount of energy ... Major lollypopping will be after week 2 or 3 of flower.
