This week marks the true beginning of flowering, as all plants are now showing clearly visible pistils at the nodes and an active, uniform stretch. The transition to 12/12 has been fully assimilated, and the crop is responding with strong, healthy growth. The canopy is very well leveled, with an open structure thanks to the previous LST/SCROG work. Tops are correctly oriented toward the light, showing no signs of stress, and light penetration remains good even in the mid-canopy. From an environmental standpoint, conditions have remained very stable throughout the week: Average temperatures around 24–25 °C Relative humidity between 55–62% VPD consistently in the 1.1–1.3 kPa range This results in optimal transpiration and highly efficient nutrient uptake. Lighting has been progressively adjusted to reach 700–720 µmol/m²/s PPFD, which is ideal for early flowering, with stable ambient CO₂ levels (~700 ppm). No signs of light stress or photoinhibition have been observed. Regarding nutrition, irrigations have been maintained around EC ~1.1–1.2 mS and pH 6.3, combining BioGrow, BioBloom, enzymes, and stimulators. The plants display a healthy green color, with no deficiencies or excesses, and show a very positive response after each feeding. Overall, this has been a key and very well-executed week, laying a strong foundation for the upcoming bulking phase. The crop enters Flowering Week 2 with strength, balance, and excellent yield potential.

Started the week out top dressing the plant with 1tbs of 4-4-4 and 2tbs of 2-8-4 and watered with 6oz to set soil. The next day I fed the soil with 2ml of Microbial Mass in 1L of water, and started low stress training the first node. Watering when dry and adjusting LST ties daily on first and second node. Plant is starting to flower on day 25! Looking good so far 😁

4/17/2023 - Day 50 Flower: Start to week 8. Everything is still progressing as expected with no problems. Plan to go an extra day or two between watering to cause some extra stress in hopes of resulting in better tricome and terpene production. Not sure if this actually makes a difference, but why not try. 4/19/2023 - Day 52 Flower: finally watered for the first time this week. This will likely be my last watering using the majority of the supplements I've been using. Will be water with a small amount of coconut powder from here on out. Also plan to start dropping the light intensity next week. Today I watered 4 gallons again and made another sprouted seed tea. Mixed in Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Rootwise Bio-Phos and Bio-Catalyst, BuildASoil Big 6 Micro Nutrients and BuildABloom. 4/20/2023 - Day 53: Happy 4/20!!!! 4/22/2023 - Day 55 Flower: watered today with about 3 gallons of water mixed with Coconut Powder and 2 gallons with molasses. Also, dropped the light intensity from full power down to level 8. The tallest colas are still only about 8 inches from the light, so my average DLI is still in the 40's. Want to bring this down a bit more in the next week or two.

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Coop Poop, Molasses, Feather Meal, and Soluble Kelp are ml/gallon of soil top dressed. Everything else listed in nutrients is ml/gallon of water fed to plants without checking the solution Ph. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 76°F. Skies were overcast and cloudy. I watered about 4 gallons. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 80°F. Skies were sunny, but everything was still humid. I watered about 4 gallons. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 84°F. Skies were sunny, but humidity was running high. I watered 4-5 gallons. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 73°. Skies were clear and sunny. The humidity only reached a high in the mid 50% and a low of 30%. There truly is a God who knows this garden needs some dry air for harvest. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 71°. Skies were super sunny and humidity is averaging around 40%. I watered about 5 gallons. We are having excellent weather to finish. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 82°. There was abundant sunshine. Super clear skies and humidity dipped into low 30%'s. I watered about 5 gallons. Not so much because of them feeding heavy but the arid conditions and sunshine. I've treated these with very thorough washing of the pm. This week was a success. We've gotten so busy, it's all we can do to keep the garden going, while harvesting, drying, and processing. I've had to wash all the fastbuds repeatedly this week to get the pm off of them. We had a brutal mid and late flower. Extremely high humidity, ridiculous amounts of rain and cool nights, thunderstorms blowing in and just overall brutal weather for cannabis. It's a blessing to have late flower perfect weather. We should harvest next week.

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!💚🌱💚 I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times 😅 Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way 🙏 My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.😆. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. 🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️ Happy Growing! 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

La semana fue realmente bien, las hojas ya estan en sus ultimos dias, amarillas y con poca fuerza. Los cogollos muy densos y gandes llenos de resina con un olor muy dulce y potente. Estoy deseando cortar esta variedad ya que probablemente corte la semana que viene 👌🔥

Smells and tastes awesome. The 3 week veg + 1 gal pots resulted in small yield. Otherwise great first try.

Just topped it couldnt wait for it to get to 5-6 nodes. Was getting big looking healthy and at 4. So I topped it at the 3rd node the 4th was big enought to use as a cutting got 5 all together gave them to my dad he likes gardening not smoking. And there is a picture of all the plants in my tent the royal gorilla. Two mango sapphire in the darker pots. A chocolate haze is the more mature of the lighter pots. The seedling is a white widow that's going outside probably not the late June early July.

I cannot come to a conclusion, when it comes to this strain it could be the grow medium, because Unknown Strain has the same vigorous growth rate in recovery and development of new growth while flowering you would not say i defoliated all these ladies on the same day, worse this is a 2nd aggressive defoliation which my other four ladies are showing slow growth and development of new growth, and this past eek I have not been feeding them any nutrients just rain water stored in a 1000lt tank.

🇩🇪 23.-25.10. der grow läuft gut diese Seite hier läuft behindert über eine Woche könnte ich nichts updaten.(alles geht jede Seite etc. nur das updaten des diaries nicht.) deswegen auch kein Bock das jetzt alles nachzutragen. Fuck you verantwortlicher dafür das diese Seite läuft wie sie läuft und genauso den Server Betreiber!!! Update das ganze mal so das es auch funktioniert. Ich hab die letzten Wochen so oft lessen dürfen. Ooops something Broke! Wollt ihr größer werden muss das laufen sonst kann man niemanden überzeugen diese Seite zu nutzen. Weil es einfach keinen Spaß macht. 22.10. - das autopotsystem ist wieder eingeschaltet die schalen unter den Töpfen waren wieder leer. Die Töpfe haben zwar noch gut Gewicht gehabt aber da sie inzwischen immer schneller wachsen hab ich entscheiden es jetzt eingeschaltet zu lassen. Im Tank der EC ist 1,3 und pH 5,8 (für den Fall das es mit der Zeit leicht nach oben geht) Ansonsten hab ich die Triebe da wo es ging unter den Blättern hervorgeholt und die Blätter darunter geklemmt. 21.10. - die Pflanzen fangen an Gas zu geben. Die autopot Schalen sind fast leer die Töpfe sind nach wie vor schwer genug so das ich das System vermutlich erst morgen/übermorgen wieder einschalten werde. Sie sollen erstmal das verbrauchen was sie beim ersten einschalten bekommen haben und nicht dauerhaft feucht stehen. 20.10. - die Hälfte der Tank Füllung ist einfach im Topf über Nacht verschwunden am Abend waren nur noch ein paar Liter drin so das gerade so die Pumpe für die Umwälzung unten bedeckt war, dementsprechend den Tank mit 30l neu aufgefüllt. Aber erstmal abgeschaltet die Töpfe sind schwer genug. 19.10. - der Tank ist mit 20l gefüllt. Athena Nährstoffe hinzugefügt in folgender Reihenfolge Balance (10ml), Grow B (26ml), Grow A (26ml), CaMg (8ml), Cleanse (10ml), Canna pH- (7ml). Eingeschaltet und die Schalen sind voll gelaufen hoffentlich danken die Ladys es mir die kommende Woche über. Happy Growing💛🏼 . 🇬🇧 October 23-25: The grow is going well, but this site is a mess. For over a week, I haven't been able to update anything. (Everything else works, every page, etc., except updating the diary.) That's why I don't feel like adding all that now. Fuck you, whoever's responsible for this site running, and the server operator too!!! Update everything so it actually works. I've had to read so many times in the last few weeks. Oops, something's broken! If you want to grow, this has to work, otherwise you can't convince anyone to use this site. Because it's no fun. 10/22 - The Autopot system is back on. The trays under the pots were empty again. The pots still have a good weight, but since they're growing faster and faster, I decided to leave it on for now. The EC in the tank is 1.3 and the pH is 5.8 (in case it rises slightly over time). Otherwise, I've plucked the shoots out from under the leaves where possible and tucked the leaves underneath. 10/21 - The plants are starting to thrive. The Autopot trays are almost empty, and the pots are still heavy enough that I probably won't turn the system on again until tomorrow or the day after. They should use up what they received the first time i turned the System on, and not be left standing in a permanently damp place. 10/20 - Half of the tank's contents simply disappeared into the pot overnight. By evening, only a few liters remained, just enough to cover the circulation pump at the bottom. I refilled the tank with 30 liters accordingly. But I'll turn it off for now; the pots are heavy enough. 10/19 - The tank is filled to 20 liters. I added Athena nutrients in the following order: Balance (10 ml), Grow B (26 ml), Grow A (26 ml), CaMg (8 ml), Cleanse (10 ml), and Canna pH- (7 ml). I turned it on and the trays are full. I hope the ladies will thank me for this over the next week. Happy Growing💛🏼
