Spent a couple hours tonight making a few small adjustments to the grow. Did a fresh water swap again this week as a lot of the buckets were getting close to dry. Took the time to add some screws on each of the bucket lids to make some good anchor points for some LST to open up the canopies. Picked up a bag of clay pebbles to make sure the net pots were filled to the top to help block light/heat from getting inside the bucket and a roll of insulation wrap for the buckets. Last week the temps of the water started to creep up to about 72-74 in the day so wanted to try and get the temps back down to below 70. I also ordered 4.5” air stone discs for each bucket to replace the underwhelming 1” ball airstones I’ve been using. Been meaning to do this for awhile now and go once my schedule and adhd didn’t get in the way and they will be in tomorrow lol. EC - 2.2 (average) pH - 5.7 (average) Water Temp - 66 (average) Room Temp - 69 F Humidity - 50% Lights - 16-18” from canopy @ 60% Will be increasing lights to 70% and running 13/11 after a day or so for the following 2 weeks (hoping to help increase the density of the buds during weeks 5-7) Overall I’m happy with how everything has been going with this grow. Where I was hoping to get to try out the current culture setup the weather here has went from snow storms to 73 degrees and back and forth over the past few weeks. Once I get the mini split installed in the actual grow room this won’t be an issue….just need to find the time to get it done 🙄😫. If things stay on track with this grow I’m hoping to pull at least 4lbs of dry weight 🤞🏽 The next grow I’ve been thinking of picking out 2 strains from my grows thus far and running 18 plants of each strain (considering i have 2 -18 site current culture systems) Want to focus on yield for the next grow. Want to aim for 10-12 pounds. Will most likely be trying out an outdoor grow as well since the timing will be perfect to do an outdoor run.

Week 5 of flower and seed production for all these plants has started in earnest. We cleaned up the tent somewhat and took down all the males after having done their job. Alls left is to wait for finish now. The nute deficiency appears to have corrected itself now that we’ve balanced out the ratios a little more. The WPM is no match for the sodium bicarbonate but still gonna have to keep on top of that to the end of the grow. Full fumigation of the grow spaces will be required - multi-day process I am not looking forward to. Time cleaning is time not growing, sadly. We’re coasting to the finish now but should still have some decent updates on our super secret seed harvesting method once they’ve fully matured😉👍. Hope everyone’s well and grow’n that straight 🔥. Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

First Flowers & Full Power 🌸⚡️ Here we go—flowering has officially begun! Week 7 marks the start of bloom for this mystery lady, and she's looking absolutely stunning. The training phase is now complete, and from here on out, she’s free to stretch upwards and show off. 💪🌿 I'm loving those slightly reddish tips on the new growth—adds a beautiful touch of color to her already elegant structure. No signs of stress, just a healthy, happy plant soaking in that summer energy. ☀️💨 She’s been treated well this week: Silica every 3 days before night Fed with CalMag, BioBizz Grow, Bloom, TopMax & Alg·A·Mic Effective Microorganisms added 4 days ago Followed up with a nice dose of compost tea 2 days later She's thriving under a great mix of sun and fresh air, and it’s honestly a joy to see how well she’s developed. Everything’s balanced, and the transition into bloom feels smooth and strong. The mystery’s starting to reveal herself—and it’s looking floral, vibrant, and full of potential. Stay tuned, the real show is just getting started! 🌞✨🌺

Canopy Management & Flower Stacking 🥦 Overview: Day 56! While we are technically in Week 8 since germination, this Sticky Broccoli Automatic is currently in its prime flowering stretch. The plant is looking incredibly healthy and vibrant. The training has paid off, and I have a beautiful, even canopy across the micro-space. Plant Development: Flowers: We are seeing massive "pom-pom" development. The white pistils are long and reaching for the light, indicating that the buds are still actively growing in size and haven't started their final ripening yet. Structure: My LST clips (the red and green trainers) are doing a fantastic job keeping the height under control. I’ve managed to keep the canopy flat, ensuring every bud site gets maximum light from the Agyrochy LEDs. Health: The leaves are a deep, rich green. There is some very minor variegation/spotting on a few leaves (as seen in the close-ups), but nothing that looks like a major deficiency likely just the plant working hard. Feeding & Environment: Nutrients: Since she’s still pushing out new white hairs, I’m sticking with a full bloom schedule (Plagron/BioBizz). She needs that Phosphorus and Potassium right now to build density. Training: I’m doing minor adjustments to the clips to make sure no bud sites are shaded by fan leaves. Grower’s Note: "It’s a lesson in patience! Even though the clock is ticking, the plant tells the real story. She’s not ready for the harvest talk yet; she’s busy building the foundation for some fat colas. The 'micro' aspect is working perfectly she's bushy, wide, and staying low."

Amazing high. And the bud never smelled like hay. Not even at 85% rh . Still had smelled berries and gas. I am still curing on it and I am very happy with the results. Buds are hard as rock. Not having a big long cola but many big buds, was also good, good trichome production. When smoked cali kush and gorilla glue terpenes profile are felt instantl. It is a delifghyful experience that comes in wjth a cerebral high and turns later into a relaxed body high that leaves you smiling

Lowered the lights a good 8-10inches just because i realized i could get them closer without burning! Going for around 6-7 inches above canopy getting the temp in the high 70s low 80s om top canopy. All pheno are getting very unique and super resinous! I have a slight lnat problem going to spray this week when i get paid

Schönen Sonntag und 3. Advent euch =) ! 🌱 Wochenupdate Die Woche lief mal ohne Drama, zum Glück =D Ich habe kurz nach dem Stretch alle Maßnahmen eingeleitet, um das Canopy sauber zu formen. Die ersten sanften Klima-Anpassungen sind erfolgt, und wir bewegen uns auf die Blüte zu – aaaaw yeeeah =D Wie ich ja bereits erwähnt hatte, wollte ich nach dem Sonden-Fix erst einmal visuell beurteilen, wann der Stretch wirklich vorbei ist und wir final auf die Meshes sortieren 😊. Die Sonde läuft inzwischen wieder zuverlässig, aber zu diesem Zeitpunkt konnte ich mich darauf leider noch nicht voll verlassen … Ich habe also noch einen weiteren Tag trainiert und bei jeder Kontrolle darauf geachtet, wie weit sie über das Netz drüber sind und ob es sich dabei um echten Stretch oder nur um Rebound vom Runtertrainieren handelt =) Dienstag hatte ich dann deutliche Anzeichen, dass wir endlich durch sind 😄 Ab hier habe ich jeden potenziellen Trieb auf ein Mesh verteilt und die, die etwas zu weit waren oder noch gebogen ins Netz zurückgeholt 😁. Als das Canopy „locked“ war, habe ich ihnen erst mal ein wenig Ruhe gegönnt. Da ich nach 12 h kein Zeichen von Stagnation durch Stretch-Erholung und Umverteilung feststellen konnte, konnte ich es nicht lassen und habe das komplette Canopy defoliert =D Der Gedanke dahinter war einfach, so früh wie möglich viel Licht an die jungen Budsides zu bekommen 😄 Jedes Blatt, das Schatten geworfen hat oder keinen direkten Nutzen hatte, wurde entfernt =) Sie haben es mir direkt bei der nächsten Kontrolle gedankt 😁 Hier habe ich dann das erste Mal echt mit mir gehadert. Die Frage war, ob ich jetzt nach Lehrbuch fahre und ihnen ein paar Tage Ruhe gebe oder ob ich direkt weiter im Programm mache und die Under-Canopy-Defo hinterherschiebe. Es wäre schon ein Traum, direkt zu Beginn vom Aufbau einen guten Energiefluss zu haben =D Die Ladys standen absolut vital und haben förmlich dazu eingeladen … also habe ich natürlich direkt durchgezogen und direkt unter dem Netz defoliert =D Hier wurden alle Spaghetti-Triebe und alles, was nicht oben im Netz angekommen war oder kein echtes Potenzial hatte, entfernt. Alles, was geht, soll ohne Umwege in die Tops gehen. Und bitte kein Popcorn =D =D Anschließend habe ich noch die Luftzirkulation angepasst, damit unter dem Netz wieder ein schöner Luftstrom entsteht =) Man sieht sogar wieder, welche Pflanze welche ist =D ! Jetzt geht’s auf in die Blüte – bin gespannt, wie es weitergeht 😊 🌱 Pflanzenstatus & Training Alle machen sich gut =) Bei Notorious habe ich das Gefühl, sie stretcht deutlich buschiger als die anderen – sehr viele brauchbare Triebe, wirklich eine tolle Scrog-Plant 😁. Bei Purpz ist mein Eindruck, dass sie deutlich mehr versucht hat, nach oben zu kommen. Hier muss man wirklich hinterher sein, wenn man sie sauber scroggen möchte. Blueberry Cupcake – absoluter Performer 😄, damit habe ich aber auch schon gerechnet bei dem, was ich über die Genetik gelesen und gehört habe =) Zu guter Letzt das Sorgenkind Guzzlerz: Hier wird auf jeden Fall noch mal was kommen in Zukunft. Leider hatte ich massive Probleme mit der Keimrate. Die einzige, die aufgegangen ist, ist schon mit einem Keimblatt zu wenig ins Rennen gestartet und konnte einfach nicht so gut hinterherkommen. Trotzdem füllt sie eine kleine Ecke im Netz und sieht auch sonst im Vergleich top aus 😄 – nur eben kleiner. Da werde ich auf jeden Fall noch mal testen, wie ein guter Seed performt 😊 ⚙️ System Nach wie vor selbes Vorgehen mit Top-Ups =) Aktuell brauchen die Ladys deutlich mehr Wasser als Nährstoffe, weil nach der Defo und dem Canopy-Sorting der Wasserverbrauch durch die Auxin-Umverteilung und die erhöhte Transpiration deutlich ansteigt =) 1,1 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt EC der Lösung wurde auf 1,9 EC erhöht 1000 PPFD Vielen Dank mal wieder fürs Lesen und die Anteilnahme, nur liebe für euch =) Eine schöne Woche =)

A great week for my Northern Lights she seemed to slow down on growth a bit the first couple weeks of flowering. This was actually the scrappy looking one that I didn’t think would turn out so pretty,,,, but she looks beautiful today ✌️🌱✌️

His week was great! Lots of growth minus the light brown spots on the leaves 🤔... The structure on the gorilla punch is kinda funky with only 3 leaves and it's stacking weird as well but hey it's purple so we can complain about the mutant.

The plant moved back to high light of Sanlight, I felt it was in need of that in this phase. The smell is starting to get stronger but mild still. Lime with sweet undertones of Cannabis classic! I am personally not a big fan of Lime, but I'm eager to see this plant it's last week's.

Don't have a lot of time these days to take pics so I'll sum things up. CO2 got outta control and the plants took tf off literally. The video is around middle of week 3, I had to flip at week 4 BC I literally ran out of room and I had to constantly defoliate.

Shit got out of control, i had to perform an LST to keep the big sister under control and she is the biggest plant I’ve ever grown although She is developing buds everywhere and im not really sure but for me this is bad as i think sometimes less is more, its clear that the plant just can’t distribute the same nutrients on 10 buds/20buds, so i expect them to be soft and not potent, maybe THAT xxl pheno, im sure someone else could have get even more, shame that I can’t clone her Little sister is looking so nice tho, Perfect structure, just amazing looking and beautiful to its maximum
