Hello everybody! Here we are a week later and I’m starting to see some nice improvements and developments. This week I fed all plants pretty heavily with Recharge and Dolomite Lime (and a little Cal Mag). The plants seemed to like it, the color is really coming back to a nice shade of green instead of the pale yellow’ish green. The FastBuds Blackberry is a beautiful shade of purple. I’m going back to my normal nutrient routine for one more week then I'll flush for a week before cutting her down. The 2 Blackberry's I cut down last week were kind of scrawny, but I did smoke one of the main cola buds and it was tastier than I expected, very fruity. It also got me HIGH AF!! I'm looking forward to how this last one finishes up. One negative is I seem to have inherited some bugs from my wife. She asked me to put one of her outdoor plants in the room so it would survive the winter, well it looks like that plant was infested with bugs. The little f’ers had a feast on some of the leaves. My wife gave me the OK to toss the plant, so with the plant removed it should be fairly easy to irradiate any remaining bugs with some sticky paper. I’d like to say thank you to all who answered my question regarding recommend reading on cannabis. I’m selecting the answer for the Grow Bible by Greg Green because I was actually unaware of that one. I’m familiar with the Cervantes and Rosenthal versions but not Greg Greens. I’ll be ordering that book after I receive and finish “True Living Organics” by The Rev (should be here tomorrow). This week I have a new question for my GD friends…. CO2? I have not been using CO2 but EVERY book I read recommends using it, I’m not prepared to go out and buy a CO2 tank, regulator, etc… at this time. Has anyone ever used one of those CO2 bags? Or do you have any DIY CO2 solutions you can recommend? I’m looking forward to your answers on CO2. I’ll leave you this week with another interesting excerpt from “Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields” by Read Spear: “I prefer to use high-pressure sodium lamps. With the exception of LED's, HPS lamps are the most efficient source of light you can buy, both in terms of light output and light spectrum. Having read nearly every book on the subject of growing pot, I feel that their authors tend to overemphasize the importance of light spectrum. You do not need to alternate between metal halides (for growth) and sodiums (for flowering). That is an oversimplification of the plant's light requirements. You may do this if you like--it certainly won't hurt--but I firmly believe that the gains are just not great enough to justify the cost of the extra MH lamp.” -Read Spear

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de floracion de estas Gorilla Melon feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. Y ya superaron el shock provocado por el mismo trasplante. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Ya empiezan a formarse las flores y progresan a buen ritmo. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Well here we are finally out of the three week germination/seedling stage and now we’re on to week 1 of vegetation phase of Penelope’s life. Wednesday Sep 15 Day 22 W/k 4 -No water pot still heavy -First day of vegetation have celebrate with her first topping -She’s got to learn this is a harsh world -Removed janky leaves -Sink or swim -Let’s go Day 23 W/k 4 -No water -She’s grown significantly since yesterday -Topped two lower branches -Very happy with her progression -She’s adapting to her condition and responding well to training -Leaf blemishes are just battle scars -Don’t be making no bitch ass plants up in this garden Day 24 W/k 4 -No water -Not much really to say today -Just grow Day 25 W/k 4 -Same as yesterday -Grow Day 26 W/k 4 -Feeding day with aerated tap water two gallons 62.5 PPM base -Add 1 tsp Cal/mag - 319 PPM -Add 1.5 tsp Grow - 708 PPM -Final - 2 Gallon 6.2 PH - 717 PPM -Runoff 1.5 L 5.58 PH 3510 PPM -It’s been an abusive day -Getting water boarded -Getting some more topping HST -Bottom fan leaves will probably curl and get trashed -She’ll be fine -Told her I was sorry and I won’t do it again -That’s a lie haha Day 27 W/k 4 -No water -Bottom leaves curled a bit as expected after the waterboarding -She’s just loving life and exploding -Get yet knickers on for the ride -Smacked her around some more with a light defoliation and topping two branches -This is it for topping I’ve got her set up the way I want now Day 28 W/k 4 -No water -Perked up again today after more defoliation and LST -Taking to LST well -Not much more to say Was a pretty abusive week for Penelope. She’s pulled through like a champ though. So she’s all HST’d up and set up for how I want to develop her. Now it’s three weeks of veg! She’s gonna be a brute!! LET’S GO!!

English below Nachdem die Pflanze jetzt das erste Mal reguläre durch den Autopot bewässert wurde werde ich in den kommenden Tagen die automatische Bewässerung aktivieren. Ansonsten wird auch in diesem Run Experimentiert und die Pflanze wurde jetzt knapp über der Erde umgelegt. Mal schauen wie ich und die Pflanze damit klar kommen möglichst flach über der Erde gehalten zu werden. Ich hoffe so am Ende mehr in die Breite zu kommen und idealerweise eine 80*40 Hälfte des Zelts zu nutzen. ------- Now that the plant has been watered through the Autopot for the first time, I’ll be activating the automatic watering system in the next few days. As with every run, I’m experimenting a bit — this time, I’ve bent the plant just above the soil line. We’ll see how both the plant and I manage to keep her growing as low and flat as possible. My goal is to get her to spread out wider and ideally make full use of one 80x40 section of the tent.

Amazing experience with the Mix Pack, I will try it again next summer for sure. Love the variety.

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚 Nach der ersten Blütewoche entwickelt sich die Orange Bud weiterhin top. Zur Geschlechtsbestimmung, gab es kurz eine Woche einen Ausflug in die Blüte Phase gefolgt von den letzten 2,5 Wochen ReVeg. Durch die ReVeg. Periode, hat sich die Pflanze etwas zur Mutation verleiten lassen. Das sieht Mann stark an der Blattform im oberen Bereich. Jetzt am 07.03.2026 ging es dann final in die Blüte Phase. Die neuen Blätter sehen sehr Gesund aus und insgesammt hat sich die Pflanze gut entwickelt. Oldschool Baby! 💚 Die Pflanze wurde nicht gestoppt. Die Seittriebe beginnen nun in die Breite zu gehen und kommen allmählich gut hervor. Die unteren Triebe wurden rausgeschnitten, damit die Pflanze nun ihr Potential nach oben entfalten kann. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aktuell gut: ————— 🌞 Temp: 26°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 58% VPD: 1,10 kPa 💡ppfd: 830 mpm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

Getting rather toasty in my sealed unairconditioned garage/car port grow 90f+. Having to adapt to extreme conditions is always challenging but I find silica works very well to help the old girls deal. Let it be said I much prefer the winter here in southern california for growing my buds!!! Anyone got any tips for growing in this kinda heat?

🌋

Schwächelt leider ein wenig aber ich hoffe das die sich noch gut erholt. Ursache ist mir noch unklar aber es hat erst angefangen als ich sie in den Boden gepflanzt habe.

Week 6 plants are having problems but I can figure out what’s going on

Hello, hello! Hope you're all doing well. Welcome to Week 7, Veg w/ Space Cookies. The Deets: The Good: -Space Cookies is moving well. I was able to make her quite a bit bigger by training her out this week. She took the space well and is filling up the new open space quickly. -Full transplant and first transition's feeding went very well and she took every drop. No burns, no dipping out, no attitude. -Strong like Bull. Every week she gets thicker and thicker. During transplant I buried a small portion of her stem to shore her up and it has proven to work very well. Smallest plant but has the thickest laterals and main. I really like this little one and I feel she has been the easiest to work with so far. Haven't faced as many issues with her as I have with the others (so far). Hope she keeps it up👌. -Pistil party! It's a girl! Yay!! So there's pistils. Not heavily pronounced yet, but clear as day. Will add in a picture tomorrow, but a little to shaky to take a proper photo, at the moment. Soon👍 -pH and PPM's are in check. Not too concerned about my ppm reads, as the new soil is warping these run-off numbers, but I'm very pleased to see her Run-off come back at a solid 6.2pH. A long road from the 5.3 I was battling for 1.5-2 weeks. The Bad: -Get atta here with that 'bad' nonsense. She's doing good😊 The 'Meh': -Got her to be a bigger bubble, but she lost some more height. Propped her up on the same ceramic pot that Do-Si-Dos was last grow. Almost a perfect height making an even canopy. -Really bushy. I open her up and it seems she's filled the empty space within 24 hours. Going to do a quick bottom to top defo and prune before moving her to flower. Still trying to learn what to take in Veg that will end up being nothing but LARF in Bloom. I feel I did a little better this time... but I'm positive there will be a lot to take in the early weeks of flower, during the stretch. -Before the transplant, I was running 24/7 extraction due to a weather change in my area. In her shorter 3 gallon pot, she picked up a bit of wind burn on the low end fans. I knew it was being pretty battered around, but I didn't really have a choice. I really needed that air exchange. These fans will be removed in near future if/when she needs/wants to cannibalize them. Notes of the Week: -All transplants were done with a 15mL/Gallon soil of Gaia Green 2-16-0 Bone Meal for slow release P/Cal throughout Bloom. Added bonus of keeping pH in check (somewhat like a dolomite lime). "Stim Root #1" for softwood applications has been used sparingly as well. Allows for zero delay when transplanting. Roots tap into new soil immediately. No stunting, no lost time. -A water feed was given to each girl in the past two days as I am back to my feed-feed-water schedule (and working well). I did include a small dose of GP3 Bloom, Humic acids, molasses and potassium silicate to keep her moving until the next feed (Bloom and Humic halved). Cut the Cal/Mag and pulling my Mag from the Bloom's 1.5%. -Training is pretty much over. PSK has a little work to do, but this week all the training ties will slowly be released and replaced with bracing cables. 5-6, 2 foot sticks of bamboo and 1, 3 foot main bamboo line have been inserted and will be used to pull laterals back inwards, give them strength, and help them carry their flowering weight. All bamboo sticks (except for the 3 foot main) were inserted into the new transplant soil where there would be no roots and no root interference. To reduce root interference on the 3 foot main, I sharpen to a point in order to push roots aside, not bluntly destroying them. -The flip is on the calendar. PSK is even in good shape now. It's time. Either Sunday, May 31st or June 1st these girls will be put into 12/12. I'm really looking forward to this, but as per the usual, I'm a little nervous. It's been a battle with them so far and I'm really, REALLY hoping Bloom goes a tad better then early Veg did. -Oddly enough, these plants are larger in size then grow #2, at the same period of time (49 days). Attributing earlier training and the SF for these changes. Keeping the girls shorter and using more LST has pushed them to move a bit faster. Noted. -Hygrowzyme and King Kola will be introduced into the new Bloom schedule in the coming week (s). I did not use the PK booster as early as recommended last grow and looking to see what changes I will see with proper applications, throughout flower. Hygrozyme will only be used for the first few weeks of Bloom. If anything feels amiss or my gut tells me somethings off, I'll stop it's use and just use what I know. Thank you for stopping by all ya'll. Been a pleasure to share this week and I look forward to sharing Bloom with you. I kept this one pretty short....Yay me! hahaha😅. Cheers everyone. Take care of you and yours, happy trails with the girls and see you on the other side. Peace!😃

Im so fucking hyped on her and shes going Great... as the time im Wirting this im sure shrees already grown 1cm agian. Fucking hyped. Everything lookin nice !!!

some worm was biting my plants🤔🧐

This week starts with lollipopping. Now the ladies have to bounce back and build Up the strong flowers and resin. EC raised to 1.6 in the autopot reservoire PH 5.8-6.2 VPD 1.2-1.3 Lets goooooo

Good Progress on the MilkyWay 22nd January Found a light base of white mold on top of my coco perlite mix. I scraped it all off from the plant medium, mixed 1tbs of baking soda with water then spritzed the top of the medium to raise ph of soil to avoid further mold growing, I also added cinnamon powder to the top of the medium (natural fungicide) will keep the journal updated 🤞 Garrison (The Milkyway plant) survives

13hrs 33 mins daylight as of 8/27 when I took these pics and video Euphoria is doing just fine, as I say in the video and repeat myself several times with other phrases, so I apologize but I honestly couldn't think of much else to say. I may have had issues with Euphoria early on, but it seemed like once I got her in the ground she just flourished and has been drama-free since (knock on wood). She's just doing fantastic🙌 Otherwise, the days are cooling off, the relentless humidity we've had for the past few weeks is moving out and I am very much looking forward to September. Those cool crisp nights, the colors starting to change, the flowers plumping up with crystalline trichomes and the smell... Oh the smell! I do love harvest season!

She's about ready to go down now. I'll chop her in a few days time. The heat is stressing her out badly and she needs to be hung. Aiming for a few weeks of dry time.

One of the best plants I've grown so far. Trichomes are crazy Day 4 - most probably last sugar/pk feed before beginning flushing. Major defoliation to expose buds

This grow was all about learning the process of hydroponics. Needles to say It is not as easy as it looks and takes a lot of time to set up and so... But along the way with help from several growmies it came to a unexpected result. 227 gram dry weight of good quality cannabis. This result ,I'm very happy ,has so much room for improvement that I can't wait for the next grow. I like to thank Royal Queen Seeds for sending me these awesome genetics, I suspect this is a big part of the result, the freebies and a lot of weed. Ofcourse I couldn't wait for the cure and started smoking. Man this stuff is sticky!! The smell is already hard to resist. The taste could be better,no cure yet, Very fresh but you smell and taste the potential. Being a long time haze smoker the effect is not exactly my thing but at night after dinner with a cup of coffee that's more what this is. Being a older person the hardest part of this contest is this damn diarie. Still find it difficult to find my ways. How many times I have to do this over 😤 I will grow this stuff again , never was a big fan of autoflowers but this outcome made me a believer. The starting plugs that came with these seeds are from now on a absolute must have! You see the difference . I cleaned the Aquafarm and it's ready for the other strain "Legendary OG Punch", that's now inside the growplug. Unfortunately to late for a full grow to be in competition but will make a diarie never the less.
