Hello Growmies, Week 16 unfolds with a sense of closure and accomplishment as we approach the final stages of this remarkable journey. Throughout the week, the plants have undergone a meticulous flushing process with RO water, purging the last remnants of nutrients from the soil. This intentional cleansing is met with a positive response from our plant, as she gracefully transitions into the closing chapter of her life cycle. The effects of the flushing are vividly apparent as she starts to reveal her autumn colors. A captivating mix of purple and sandy brownish hues is painting her buds, creating a visual symphony that signifies the culmination of her growth. In assessing her readiness for harvest, the trichomes provide valuable insights. The presence of approximately 10-15% amber trichomes suggests that we are nearing the optimal moment. However, a few scattered white hairs indicate the possibility of a slightly early harvest—perhaps by a mere couple of days. As we witness the plant's response to the flushing process and the emergence of autumn colors, it's a poignant moment to reflect on the entire journey. The care, attention, and shared experiences have converged into this final phase of growth. In the coming days, we'll carefully monitor the trichomes and continue to observe any changes in her appearance. The anticipation for harvest is palpable, and every detail is scrutinized to ensure a perfect culmination. I want to express gratitude to each of you who have joined me in this journey—your observations, enthusiasm, and shared joy have made this grow truly special. Stay tuned for the next entry, where we'll delve into the harvesting process and celebrate the fruits of our collective labor.

NOTES: First week of flowering: pH at around 5,8-6,0 and EC at 1,5. Day50 (5.12.) Day51 (6.12.) Day52 (7.12.) Just a light defoliation of lower leaves and I also pruned a few small nodes that didn't get any light. Day53 (8.12.) I filled the tanks to the top with fresh nutrient solution. I stopped using the root stimulator, otherwise same amounts of nutrients. Day54 (9.12.) Day55 (10.12.) Light defoliation and pruning, mostly on lower parts of plants. First time using pH+ on this grow, since it is mostly needed in flowering phase. On vegetation I've basically only needed the pH-. Day56 (11.12.) More light defoliating and pruning on bottom halves of the plants. Growth had basically exploded and I was therefore forced to defoliate under the canopy to improve airflow and to prevent moisture from condensating. Overall everything looks great!

Hi everyone. Welcome to my🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week. Daily updates and uploads so if week not over yet. Please revisit to see full week content😊 Thank you all for such amazing support 😊🤗💜 So far everything is going great. No issues at all. Both girls started preflower on Tuesday and already I can see that they started stretching nicely. Scrog net will be installed by the end of this week. Week 5 13-19 Nov. 13/11 day 36 First runoff experience for girls. Loaded both pots with approx. 2.5 ltr each in 4 stages of 500-700ml. Runoff 100-150ml from each. Runoff PH 5.9. Nutrients for this watering were same as on previous week and added only calmag. Next watering possibly Friday but with new measurements. 14/11 day 37 Both 🍌💜👊 girls started preflower on same day. Xena is catching up quick to her larger sister and possibly soon they will be sharing this growing space 50/50 15-16/11 days 38-39 Just happy and healthy days 😁 nice steady growth. 17/11 day 40 Second watering for this week. 5.5l beetwen both. Runoff Ph 6.1 19/11 day 42 Most busiest day so far. Both girls got very bushy in last few days and they stretched enough to install scrog net. Before installing net applied selective defoliation on both girls. 8-10 fan leaves from each. It's the end of this amazing week 😁 Thank you all again for such a great support 🤗✌️💚

Moving forward, blooming nice, this second gen is taking form and gaining weight. A few weeks and we will have a nice harvest. Tent is nicely populated and filled. Once i have setup the “semi scrog” it has conformed to it in a couple of days and did a massive difference. It really opens the canopy and create a huge surface to take advantage from the light as opposed to letting it go naturally. I’m defining the technique as semi scrog because i did not setup the net in a traditional early way knitting in veg... It was done later.

Big thanks to the homie @wicked_stix for providing me with this Masterpiece! One plant was grown in coco coir drain to waste with cropsalts other DWC also with Cropsalts. Hydro was neglected but ran itself for 3 weeks as a stand alone system. All in all got over 380gr running the light at 280w for the hydro setup full of frosty the ⛄️ type buds with tremendous sugary flavours ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Yo nailed it down this week should really be end of week 7 flower so 10 weeks total life. Sticking to the plant of1 more week nutes then see if they are ready for flush. Dropped the Bud Burst. It really wasn't working with my tanks and causing a film to build up on the pipework. Flushed mid week with Pure Clean and fresh tank of nutes. Dropped to around 1.4ec and 5.8ph to finish up. They dont look hungry for anything at this point just changing to autumn colours and hardening up. I dont expect the size to change all that much but rather becoming more dense and changing of colours.

10/22 She grows! 😁 In the home stretch, just giving water when needed. Shes so photogenic! .

A good week for ICC photo. I topped her and started bending branches for some horizontal development. Once she’s covering the entire pot with some budsites and tops I will let her start stacking nodes vertically. I am using “garden hooks” I’ve made with metal food skewers and will use those to bend and guide branches outwards. Feed is the same really and I am really digging it so far, Gaia green and coco loco for a supersoil type grow in regards to waterings and feeds. No ph checking, no dechlorinating water, just tapwater and a few add ins like fishshit and recharge, a seaweed/kelp foliar, and worm castings/topdresses. Trying this routine out and hope to be able to reamend the pot and drop again. This plant is in midweek5 of veg and has about 6-8 weeks to go before I can flip her to flower.

~ GG4 SHERBET FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "Bred from extremely potent and flavorful Gorilla Glue and Orange Sherbet genetics, GG4 Sherbet FF (Fast-Flowering) takes all the best traits to the next level, offering a high-yielding strain that can produce up to 600 g/m2 in a 7-week flowering time. This super resilient Indica-leaning hybrid thrives indoors and outdoors, and in all types of climates while producing mouth-watering sweet, fruity, spicy and earthy terps that translate into a delicious sugary hazelnut aroma. Expect an extremely relaxing and overall happy effect that’ll leave you with a huge smile from ear to ear. It’s the perfect strain for growers of all levels of experience seeking low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver quality and quantity without extra effort. GG4 Sherbet FF grows chunky buds with long dark orange hairs and spade-shaped calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a gorgeous silvery-white appearance. This medium-sized photoperiod can reach up to 200 cm in height and yields up to 650 g/m2 while developing that typical hybrid structure. GG4 Sherbet FF grows with a stocky, bushy appearance, developing one sturdy main cola and fat side branches that support huge yields without much effort. This super-fast variety produces distinctive light-green buds with a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. It’s a top-notch resin producer that doesn’t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely flavorful resin that makes for outstanding hash end extracts." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 5/30- Nine weeks from breaking ground, this lady started off slow but is now making up for lost time! 6/1- Today I top dressed the GG4 Sherbet FF with 2 cups of Gaia Green 4-4-4, 1 cup of Down to Earth Bio Fish along with 1/2 gallon of worm castings. After top dressing and working the amendments into the soil by hand, I watered it in via garden hose with straight well water. 6/3- Rained hard today so I skipped watering the GG4 Sherbet FF. 6/5- Today was sunny and warm. I watered the GG4 Sherbet FF with straight well water from the garden hose. Another week on the books for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and she continues to impress me with her resilience and vigor! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Familia, actualizo la semana 9 de floración de las Kritical, y ya ultima semana que está. Ya están listas para pasar por la tijera, variedad típica muy top que está entre los mejores clásicos. Esta semana han estado solo a agua y hemos practicado un estrés hídrico, que cada vez que aplicamos riego la cantidad va siendo reducida progresivamente. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 27,5 grados y las mínimas no bajan 22, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 40%/55% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo,os actualizaré la cosecha los próximos días, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Hi growers! It's been 5 weeks since we entered the flowering stage, and our plants are in full bloom! The branches have become thick, the leaves remain green, and the buds are getting fuller by the day. We continue to feed our plants with Xpert Nutrients flowering fertilizer, and the results are simply amazing! Our girl clearly loves this fertilizer, and we couldn't be happier with its effectiveness. A big thank you to Xpert Nutrients for such an amazing fertilizer! We're continuing our exciting journey and looking forward to new successes and beautiful harvests!

Hello potheads, the reason to do this Journal is to register the grow results using a dirty cheap assembly, with low investment on equipment and hopefully without compromising results (LOL). The main reason to do this is bc I have tested previously the Bulbs when my last COB Panel failed right after two years and became void of guarantee, also, pandemics in my country made every attempts to delivery it to a technician almost impossible, so we had to improvise . Most of the used materials are accesible by home & groceries store (also online), the nutrients and seeds that are legacy from the previous project. The substrate is recycled and applied on 11 & 15lt Textpots. This is the reason also why there is a lite of lice or white fly plague on some plants that im trying to control with Aceite de Springhill by Anasac (locally branded paraffin oil). About nutrients: The reason to add Carbo & Sugar Is to stimulate beneficial bacterial life on the used soil.This also helps photosynthesis and root development in earlier stages. (ref: https://bigbudsmag.com/marijuana-carbohydrates-boost-roots-buds-thc ) Related to the strains: The G13 by GrowBarato Seeds: 2 Month Old AVG but they were germinated on 12/12 photoperiod (while waiting to cut other plants) , so they acted like revegged with the increase of hours. They're being trained with paper clips to become bushy & chonky units. (4/6 survived) Santa Bilbo by Genethik: 1 Month Old AVG , but they were germinated on 12/12 photoperiod, the nutrient deficiencies that show are bc they stayed on a 500cc cup for too much time and required transplant urgently, and now are recovering and generating vegetal mass AGAIN . The Reason that there are 2 plants in one pot its bc one was less vigorous, cursed, and against all odds, are recovering from stress shock & different carencies . ( 4/5 survived) Eleven Roses by Delicious Seeeds: 10 days Old (Germinated on 4/20/21 on 20/4 photoperiod). They r' fine, healthy Babies and growing on a steady rhytm . There are 8 because there are 2 spaces to fill , but also, they were backup in case all Santa Bilbo transplants failed miserably. For the last ones i need to select whose be transplanted to soil but that's a problem for future me, not me rn. I will VEG for the entire month of MAY in order to fill the spaces of the grow tent and try to update this diary at least once a week. Probably weekends. Finally, if there is something that it's hard to understand by choice of words or gramatical error , happy to receive feedback bc English its not my first language. Kind Regards.

Day 0. I left the soil to warm up and settle up a bit, plus microbes had time to start working. Always check the middle of pot for that bit of soil to be super fine and airy, roots don't need obstacles. Will update slowly with every big move and that's my checkpoint grow, I want to know, can I and how much ;) Target - 1000 from 8 plants Time - 2 month veg + 2 month flower Nutes - full range of biobizz Soil - biobizz all mix + worm castings Will Lst, top, supercrop, lolitop, defoliate them a lot and in rounds. This time I didn't go for the lair of air stones, those pots work really great. Fingers Crossed Main thing - Thank You #RoyalQueenSeeds for your beans ! Day 2. First Gorilla showed up, beans are very small, we shall see how strong genetics is ... One more time proved myself, that germination is only for old beans if you are not sure with rate, otherwise its waste of time in my mind ... Day 4. Sprout rate - 100 %,but i still didn't liked like all 4 cookies started. We shall see... ;))) Day 6. All good, no big things yet, girls small, but grow, 3 out of 4 cookies didnt want to loose shell , so had to help them and they look lankier compared to gorilla girls. Every day i lower lamps a bit, would say today eve is final and quantum boards run on 50% dimer for now. Will increase it by 5 % every few days, at the end of week two ussually its full blast, sometimes i keep it till week 3. We shall see ... Still happy, moisture, moisture, moisture .... ;)

Flower day 17 - All the ladies are looking great, starting to see a lot of bud sights & the smell is definitely getting stronger everyday I open the tent! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!🌱✌️🏼 Flower day 19- Got a bigger dehumidifier because I was having problems on days I would water the humidity would go through the roof at night so to prevent mold I bought a bigger dehumidifier but now it is throwing off so much heat the tent is pushing 90 degrees F at some points throughout the day so I’m not exactly sure how to fix the issue! Will definitely not be running so many plants in the next run for the 5x5! Hopefully things get better!😅😅

If someone could tell me why it had a slight deformation that it would be great. To wet? Maybe I planted it too shallow because I was overthinking camera shots? It would have been fine to plant normally in the soil, oh well next time. Ph was stable, soil is not normal sorta of a compost coco core/chunk, with worm castings.

I think my girls have finished growing and are starting to show their potential

Hello gromie's, just wrapped up week 7 of flowering & all the girls are going good, just continuing to do their thing. Buds bulking up nicely trichomes have changed from clear to cloudy, very sticky & smelly lowered nutrients, they are at the start of week 8 , but I'm thinking they will take a week or two more to ripen up , this will be my first harvest & I don't want to screw up the last few months by harvesting to early! I'm looking at doing 10-15% amber the rest cloudy for best results, think that's right will look at flushing soon.

Future is coming on fast , filling out nice. She’s real pungent this one got that high THC look about her

some accidental HST out of LST that lead to a stem break :-( Otherwise pretty happy with progress but not sure if I can amp up my nutrients to enhance more growth
