Week 10 defoliation and IPM were implemented (neem oil + water); I spot treated the fan leaves as needed since minor thrip damage was found ——————————————————————————— Feed Log: D:75 - 6.5L - Si,[3ml],Algo [7ml],Vega[54ml],Ca/Mg,[0.3g/L & 0.2g/L],INPUT: [pH 6.0-7.0],[1.660 EC], OUTPUT: [1.732], pH [6.9] 1.3L ,Previous irrigation: D:68 Defoliated the plants a little more today removing old yellow growth for added visibility in the canopy 👍

Week 5 had been amazing just that this week we had 3 days of rain which was great for the plant. I gave her some Tea again except that this time I use the rain water I collected. Which was ph at 6.3 and the run of off was ph at 6.8 The plant is around 10 inches now and I am starting to notice some red/purple lines on the stems. The smell is weak but it is still a little early to judge. I would really like some feedback you guys.

Will definitely grow this stain again if the opportunity arises, she gave me should dense nugs which smelt amazing!

First week of flower👏 They got 2 hours extra darkness before flip. Not because of scientific evidence, but simply practical. Still looking back to the first weeks of veg. WHAT A MESS and WHAT A MIRACLE 🙏 Coming into flower, they had two defoliation and the latest one was 7/10. Last feed 8/10 Introducing Biobizz CalMag(0.5ml/l) + BioBloom(0.25ml/l)+Topmax(0.25ml/l)+Rootjuice(0.25ml/l) Still 2ml/L Fishmix+BioHeaven(Fishmix will be switched out with BioGrow) 👽👉10/10 VPD is 1.2,-1.3. good airflow above and below canopy. 👽👉11/10 Mild signs of light stress. They will get used to the VPD. Can't wait to feed in a couple of days and see the reaction. Im sure they are really hungry! 👽👉12/10 Waterday** Introducing higher doses of bloom nutes. The Run off PH and EC are all within the limits 👽👉13/10 They lit up after some nutes. They look happy! Let the stretch begin 👽👉14/10 Already see fast growth. Just monitering factors, to make sure the climate is optimal and their are no symptoms. 👽👉15/10 Waterday* Thirsty ladies 👽👉16/10 Last day of week 1 of flower. Everything is going fine, Good airflow, None of the small symptoms has gotten worse, so overall happy ladies! How ever one has a little stunned growth or maybe just a bit behind of going into stretch

Tuvimos unos días apurados por la aparición de unos pequeños bichos que solucionamos con una fumigacion con tierra de diatomeas y con la potente abamectina, subimos un poco más las nemesis y ahí van estupendamente

Hi Growmies, So let me introduce you this 4 little gorilla gals who survived the first week of their life in the wild. As I mentioned last week, we needed 4 healthy individual to populate the future forest and it’s succeeded. The one who struggled is also starting to catch up to her sisters.🌱 They got a bit lanky as I was way too careful with the light. One needed help because she fell on the pot. So slowly raised the light intensity first to 220 ppfd and at the end of the week we finished at 350. They seem to like it so will leave it for a few days. The sf1000 is running on 55% at the moment.🌞 Watered twice this week. First with 150ml each and 3 days later with 220ml. No macronutrients have been given to them yet.💦 I’m happy how they look 14 days after the start of germination. See you next week!🙌

Day 43 Flower (Day 85) Today is the first day of week seven of flower, and this is supposed to be the last week of flower for this fast strain, but I doubt that either of the girls will be done this week. That being said, it's pretty much a waiting game at this point since we're on the home stretch. The right girl should be done soon-ish, but the left girl will probably take a few more weeks. I just got my second Corona vaccine shot a couple of days ago, and as soon as it is entirely up and running, I'm off on vacation. After 1.5 years of this pandemic crap, I'm SO ready to go traveling again. To prepare for my travels, I installed a drip irrigation system in the left girl's tent. It's a simple system with a 10-liter water bag, some hose, and a few drip emitters, but once dialed in, it should be enough to provide the left girl with water for around a week. The system was a piece of cake to install, and I wrapped the water bag with some white mylar to avoid the water getting heated and also to reflect the light better. It's a bit ghetto still, but I'll make it prettier once I see that the system works as intended. I installed the system now already to give me time to dial it in. I'm hoping that the right girl will be done before I travel, but if she isn't, then I'll hook her up to the automated drip irrigation system that I use for our tomatoes. Come hell or high water. I'm going on that vacation, dammit! Lastly, I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. Day 44 Flower (Day 86) I think those extra photons from the new light are starting to work their magic in the left tent, and the left girl is slowly starting to fatten up. In the right tent, everything is just cruising along and I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.6 water today. Day 45 Flower (Day 87) The drip irrigation system in the left tent is working out great so far. Only been a couple of days though but yeah, so far so good. The right girl is packing on some weight into her buds and some of the thinner branches are starting to fall over. I've ordered some plant yoyos for support but they won't arrive until next week so I'll make do until then. Lastly, I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.3 water. Day 46 Flower (Day 88) Not much is happening on a day-by-day basis this late in flower. I hope those plant yoyos get here asap as the right girl is struggling to keep some of her branches up under the weight of the buds. I want to go in and tuck some fan leaves in her canopy to allow better light penetration. Still, I can only tuck a couple without starting to knock over branches as other branches precariously support them. (Note to self: use a second scrog next photo grow to give support after the stretch.) I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water, and that was all for today. Day 47 Flower (Day 89) Woooo! The yoyos arrived today even though they weren't due until next week. It was a breeze to put up; attach the yoyo at the roof of the tent with a zip tie, pull down the hook and attach it to the branch, done. I ended up using only three since the other branches are standing quite well once those three worst offenders are supported. A fourth branch could also use support, but the branch is way in the back, and I can't get to it without getting my arms and hands all covered in resin as just about everything in the tent is super sticky now. The buds on the right girl are very resinous and have a strong smell. I should bring out the microscope soon and start to check the trichomes to see where she's at. I also gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.6 water. The left girl is just hanging out in her tent, doing her thing, and slowly fattening up. The drip system is working great so far. After four days, the water bag is about half empty, so it looks promising that it will last a week. I've been monitoring the soil humidity, and it has slowly been dropping these four days, but the drop is so slow that it is next to negligible. Day 48 Flower (Day 90) Today, the left girl's soil humidity did a small drop, but it is still in a great range. I guess it is because as the water in the bag gets less, the water pressure is reduced, resulting in the water flowing more slowly out of the drip emitters. Not a huge deal, though, as it is now five days since the last time I hand-watered the left girl, so this irrigation system will work just fine when I go on vacation for a few days. I filled up another 3 liters of pH 6.1 water in the bag, and I'll keep an eye on it to see if the soil humidity increases. Speaking of watering, I treated myself today to a new, better pH pen. As a living soil grower, I don't use any nutes, so I thought I might as well make sure I have a quality pH pen to make sure the water is on point. My old Dr. Meter pen has served me just fine, but this bluelab pen is a lot faster, and it has a backlit display which makes it easier to use in low light situations. A friend of mine recently started growing, so I'll gift my old pen to him as well as my old tiny, drying tent, and the ViparSpectra P600 light as I don't need that now when I have a much more powerful light for the small tent. The right girl got 3 liters of pH 6.1 water as I haven't hooked up the automated drip irrigation system to her yet but will do that in the next few days as I suspect that she won't be finished either before vacation. Lastly, I started to brew some compost tea to give the girls one final boost of microbes and nutrients. I used a similar recipe as previously: worm castings, rock dust, biochar, lime, bentonite, neem meal, kelp meal, and molasses. I upped the castings and neem, though and I'll leave this tea brewing for 24 hours and feed it to the girls tomorrow. Day 49 Flower (Day 91) The last day of the seventh week of flower, and all is well in the tents. According to the breeder, this week is supposed to be the final week of flower, but none of my girls are near ready. I took out the microscope today and checked the trichomes on the right girl, and I would guess she has at least another week, if not two, to go as her trichomes are still clear. I might even end up running her longer as I'm looking for a decent amount of amber this harvest. This strain is supposed to be a heavy, almost narcotic Indica, and I'm aiming to make her as potent as possible. A "last-smoke-of-the-night" kind of smoke. Lately, there has been a noticeable cannabis smell in my lung room, and last night I tracked down the cause. It turned out that there was a leak between the carbon filter and the fan, so the fan blew out partly unfiltered air. Nothing that some duct tape couldn't fix, and this morning the smell was gone. The right girl is sticky af and has a strong smell. Initially, there's a strong citrus fragrance with hints of lime and grapefruit, but once those terps have started to evaporate, there's an underlying fragrance of pine. The left girl has even longer to go, and it wouldn't surprise me if she takes another month. We made some guacamole last night, but a couple of the avocados had gone bad, so I put them on my pots. My loss is my worms' gain. All I did today was to feed the compost tea I started yesterday to the girls. Each one got 3 liters of unfiltered tea at pH 6.7.

This was the final vegetation week. Retied some of the training. Two branches snapped in the process. Mend with tape. Affected branch seems to be recovering. During the week they withered a bit. Added 500ml of water with no effect. Increased the distance from light from ~25cm to ~38cm. Next day they looked more stiffened and rigid.

This one took a longggg time to finish, i ended ip harvesting at the end of 11 weeks. the best way to describe the end smell is grape and pinesol, its very aromatic even at 3 weeks post harvest. incredible terpene profile

The sticky rice is one of the smaller plants but it is very healthy I’m looking forward to how it turns out This past week was smooth sailing I topped all the plants

Except for them getting a bit elongated this week went quite well. They have already grown multiple pairs of leaves and despite being so thin feel relatively robust. For watering I've just used rain water and I also added some of those reflective blankets to the walls (which are black otherwise), they're not perfect but better than nothing.

Hey everyone! Welcome to our second grow journal! We're growing the same strains as in the first journal, but this time, we plan to only top the plants. They're in 18-liter pots, and you'll be able to follow their progress here as well. These plants are 20 days younger than the ones in the first grow, so it'll be interesting to compare their development. Stay tuned for updates!

Salutations, fellow cultivators and botanical enthusiasts! Welcome to the First Week of Flowering Report for our beloved Jealousy in the Power Buds competition. The journey thus far has been nothing short of spectacular, and now, as we transition into the flowering phase, the excitement is reaching new heights. To kick off this week, I decided to don my horticultural surgeon's hat and perform a series of strategic maneuvers on our green queen. The week began with a daring move – a couple of toppings to encourage a more bushy and compact growth structure. It's like giving Jealousy a little green haircut, shaping her into a voluptuous, floral masterpiece. But that's not all, my friends! A defoliation extravaganza ensued, where I carefully removed some of the larger fan leaves. Now, I can almost hear you asking, "Why on earth would you do that?" Well, it's all about optimizing light penetration and airflow, ensuring that each bud site receives its fair share of sunshine and fresh air. It's like orchestrating a botanical ballet, where every dancer gets their moment in the spotlight. Now, brace yourselves for the grand finale – taking some cuts. I know, I know, typically, we'd ease into these practices, but time is of the essence, and I wanted to put Jealousy's genetics to the ultimate test. The cuts were taken with the precision of a master sculptor, each one destined to become a clone, a green offspring preserving the essence of our marvelous Jealousy. And let's not forget the star of this green show – Jealousy herself. She's embracing these changes with open leaves, responding to the toppings and defoliation like a botanical maestro. It's like watching a symphony unfold, where each note played by nature results in a crescendo of growth and vitality. As we navigate this first week of flowering, let's tip our virtual hats to Zamnesia and Plagron for paving the way for this thrilling Power Buds adventure. Their contributions are the backbone of our horticultural success. A round of applause to the Grow Diaries community – your shared wisdom and green camaraderie elevate our collective knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your flowering phase be abundant with resinous wonders, and may the fragrance of success linger in your grow rooms. Here's to a week of strategic moves, green transformations, and the anticipation of a blooming spectacle. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of .

A couple of days ago I got home and a sublime smell of coffee pervaded the area. Smell it smells you I came to understand what was good when I started the flush of our wonderful Auto test #1. The colors have come out forcefully both in the hair and the leaves have taken on a fantastic color, the maturation at the top is practically finished at the bottom something is missing, the plant still drinks a lot and we are flushing as if there were no tomorrow. We don't know what this beauty is GHSC mouths are rightly kitchens because it will be out very soon we are sure of one thing, a smell of coffee that makes me tear my underwear, wonderful. Auto test #2 is a week late but because I planted her quite later, she has now started to apply color but she has been throwing resin everywhere for a while, she too will be scary. There is a lot of good seed bank but only one is of the King. https://greenhouseseeds.nl/ Love this Farm! https://www.mars-hydro.com/

Así que semana 13 y quan hermosos podrían estar mis superlativos cultivars. Qué hay que decir de algo así?!? Hoy he decidido a colgar un vídeo para que tengáis muy presente las cosas...y si, es impresionante lo que es la cobertura de azúcar y algodón que hojas y super cogollos tienen. Y casi todo sale a la perfección, por qué estamos en el apex del invierno con temperaturas exteriores que hoy están sobre los 17ºC de máxima y 3ºC (!!!) de mínimo...la humedad es alta y si logramos tener los niveles en 70% en interior es un mal menor, por qué afuera hoy la humedad incluso con sol está sobre los 90% (mi ciudad está rodeada por uno de los mayores rios de la Península Ibérica; de la costa atlantica y de un enorme pinar y aquí los 90% de humedad relativa es algo muy normal, así que hay que tirar del deshumificador y intentar que en interiores basar las tasas sobre los 70/75% y no es perfecto, pero para mí, mucho mejor que estas tasas de humedad relativa en floración, es poder tener una temperatura interior en luces encendidas sobre los 23ºC y eso para canabicas en invierno, es un regalo de la naturaleza. Os invito a que miréis la cobertura de algodón dulce que hay en las ramas y los super cogollos que los cultivars de Ripper me están dando...a la gente de Ripper, habrá que darles el Premio Nobel de los cultivos canábicos pues las genéticas de esta gente, que palabras hay para clasificar lo que esta gente está poniendo en el mercado...es que hay quien se gaste la friolera de millones en tener anunciado en casi todo lo que sea algo que tenga que ver con luces, semillas, sustratos y nutrientes...son lo que llamo "bancos McDonald's" esos que te colgan fotos de cogollos que se comen de colores y de formas inusuales y muchas veces se confirma la idea que lo que suena muy colorido y apetecible con luces y Photoshops, después en lo que a humo dice respecto, se queda a años luz. Ya es muy visible que hay una nítida maturación de los cogollos con algunos pistilos ya marrones y ámbar. Con eso se ha adecuado la alimentación para el empuje de "rippen" final y si echáis un vistazo a lo que se está propinando a los cultivars ya estamos con un PPM muy respectable (a un nivel muy alto - nunca menor a 1500 PPM, lo que significa que estamos con unas tasas de mS/cm elevadísimas y esto es una estrategia en mi opinión muy normal cuando entramos en recta final de cultivo y si hay que darle flush muy pronto y como mi procedimiento de flush es muy basado en llenar el tanque hidropónico con agua con algo de cloreto de sódio (la sal tiene la función osmótica de integrar los sales de NKP y otros macro y micro nutrientes que estén en exceso) y darle a igual en las últimas semanas el More Grams de Cannaboom y el Explota Cogollos de Agrobeta que también por fuerza de osmosis y por la elevadísima dosis de Dióxido de Potasio, no solo para integración de esta sal, pero por qué las concentraciones en esta proporción, si es verdad que contribuyen para el adensamiento de cogollos (más que darles tamaño y eso es lo que Agrobeta nos vende, pero quién conoce el "Explota Cogollos" sabe que más que el tamaño, lo que el sal de potasio hace es desidratar los cogollos y con eso el peso de los cogollos aumenta por la agregación de las resinas en los cogollos. Pues como veis, la alimentación final a la planta es basada en un auténtico bombazo del P y K y así para que tengáis algo presente la "alimentación" es sencillamente un aporte extremo de esos componentes vitales de la floración: el RedBoom de Cannaboom que es un multiplicador y indutor de floración masivo; el Mega PK 56-35 (que sin contar con alguna de las "bombas atomicas" de Grotek) es el mayor aporte de fósforo existente en el mercado; después el Terpenum que es un bioactivador que termina siendo redundante el aporte de potasio y también algo al que no se da mucho relieve pero es un elemento que en floración tiene un peso específico muy grande en la calidad final, el azufre que poco es hablado y que por ejemplo para la producción de THC es indispensable y la calidad del material está proporcionalmente relacionada con la presencia de azufre. Después como ya hablé el More Grams con esa función de "secado de agua" siendo llenado el espacio celular de agua con las resinas y terpenos. Y para final, algo se aporta un par de veces a la semana que para mí son importantes en este momento final de grow - el Explota Cogollos de Agrobeta y el aporte orgánico de Gold Green, que a igual que el Explota Cogollos basa su acción mucho más en el potasio que en el fósforo. En fin... más no hay que deciros y tan solo dejaros que por vosotros podáis comentar lo que vuestros sentidos, vos enseñen. Y para que tengáis algo único, os he dejado también una magnífica foto de microscopio con la floresta de glândulas de resina y terpenos para que las estructuras que le dan lo maravilloso a nuestra bella cannabis. El mundo microscopio nos enseña lo cuan increíble es la masa de nuestros grows... El Dios Jah está muy presente y seguro lo que está temporada de fotodependientes y lo que de manera extraordinaria, la gente de Ripper Seeds va perfeccionando hace años, resulta en estas maravillas botanicas y canábicas. El Dios Jah que nos guarde siempre de los peligros - desde el grow y a patógenos menos pensados en los momentos finales - desde hongos en el secado hasta un ataque como por ejemplo un compañero que cogió Phytophora en las últimas semanas y literalmente los cogollos se "pudrieron" (lo nunca visto y eso que le dije que tomara mucho cuidado con la retención de agua del flush...a veces cosas tontas te pueden hacer mandar a la basura todo el esfuerzo y trabajo de una temporada y hay que estar pendiente de detalles y más pedir siempre y si eres gente de fé como yo, que algo más alto pueda protegerte. Con ello terminamos otra semana y muy importante 420 siempre y mucho más ese abrazo verde donde quiera que estés. Disfruta el video y algumas fotos macro de las más impresionantes y me lo tomaré muy mal que no dejes tu like y tu comentario.
