WEEK 10 - FLOWERING: Entering Peak Ripening ​ ​🌼 FLOWERING PROGRESS ​Bud Swelling: We have entered Week 10 (Week 6 of Flowering), and the Permanent Bluez is prioritizing bud ripening. The flowers are swelling significantly, and the density is increasing. The structure is now fully established, showcasing the benefits of the early topping and LST. The resin production is intense, giving the buds a distinct 'sugar-coated' appearance. ​📋 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL & VPD ​This week, I am focusing on environmental precision to optimize metabolic activity without introducing stress: ​Day Temp: 26.1°C ​Humidity (RH): 51% ​VPD: 1.66 kPa ​By maintaining these parameters, I achieve a VPD of 1.66 kPa. This falls almost into the ideal range for late flowering (typically 1.2–1.6 kPa). A slightly higher VPD is beneficial at this stage as it maximizes nutrient transport while keeping the relative humidity low, which is crucial for prevent mold issues. The Pure LED Q-V2 is delivering the necessary light intensity without pushing the temperature too high. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​I am maintaining the high-feed schedule to support the final swelling of the buds, as established in the log: ​Calmag: 1.5 ml/l to prevent deficiencies under the intense light. ​Acti-Vera: 5 ml/l to maximize immune and enzymatic support. ​Bio-Heaven: 5 ml/l for maximal energy and nutrient uptake. ​Bio-Bloom: 4 ml/l for phosphorus and potassium demands. ​Top-Max: 5 ml/l to enhance terpene profile and flavor. ​Bio-Grow: 1 ml/l for overall health. ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.5 ​Humidity (RH): 51% ​Day Temp: 26.1°C ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​"Week 10 and we are in the home stretch! The Permanent Bluez is ripening beautifully. By dialing in the climate to 26.1°C and 51% RH, I've achieved a VPD of 1.66 kPa, which pushes the plant without over-stressing her. The IZI Seeds genetics are handling the high-intensity routine perfectly. Keep it IZI 💚"

This week: -I used for three days CO2 tabs in a glass of water. It seems that the plant has grown almost twice as much in height and width as in the last two weeks. -I placed 4 more worms -I defoliated about 6 leaves for better light absorption -I increased the luminousity -I increased the watering and nutrients

7/6/2021 - Trimmed lower fan leaves as they were being blocked completely, and a few tips were yellowing. - Continuing to lightly bend the upper branches so the lowers can catch up. - Bought some Gaia Green veg + bloom dry fertilizers as I expect I'll be flipping to flower soon. 7/7/2021 - Watered in a little bit of Gaia Green's veg fertilizer. - Foliar fed w/ DIY kelp extract. - Yellowing/browing on a new leaf, can't identify what it is. - Staked down the branches on the upper mains this evening to open her up for more light penetration, she was gettin' real bushy. 7/9/2021 - Trimmed out middle to expose canopy

OK So had some non plant related as well as plant related issues this week. Been hectic with personal life, and still finding my groove with the girls .. I decided against any sort of training .... get it you can maximaxe and all but m all about letting them do their thing with some love and help, i feel like the hst and defoliation is just not for me at present time. If i get into commercial i definately see the advantages... Im growing for just myself , have zero friends and girlfriend doesnt really part take except the sometimes will hit a vape pen and shes done .. so all the fruits are for me and just do not see the need to mutalate my plants to get extra,, ill just grow more :D Recap : 5 - Barneys Glue Gelato Autoflowers 2 - "Freebie" Caramel Cream Aut o <I believe Maine Clone Company > though did not have label. All seeds came from AMAZING NORTH ATLANTIC SEED COMPANY .... ZERO issues ordering , shipping and popped 7 for 7 seeds even with some pretty disasterious goofs , see week 1 1. Struggled with Lighting - Definatly had the California Lightworks Solar Extreme TOO CLOSE .. now keeping a good 24 inches and will adjust soon with flowering 2. Struggled with PH - My well water is great .. low PPM and 7.0 ph . BUT i use ph down it seems each day with the top off water to bring the girls down from 6.5 - 6.8 to a nice 5.9-6.0 Eariier not too bad as the girls were not drinking so much ... which leads me to next 3. THEY ARE DRINKING BOY ... Holy cow this week they became drinkers liike i did not expect. I run my lights 2 pm to 8 am and turn off until 2 pm each day .... I top off in the morning before i put them to sleep , the bigger girls ... 4 of the glue gelatos autos are drinking almost half gallon each per day atm . While my lil girls <caramel cream autos > are much shorter and i have one gelato glue auto on the smaller side . They do not drink nearly as much maybe a quart . 4. I goofed on the BLOOM, I did not expect bloom so early i was planning on this week to start them .... but nope showed signs of sulfur deficiency , caught it early and changed the feeding to bloom cycle and WOW they took the hell off ... Have TREMENDOUS growth in past week sinced changed cycle ... Again im following FAST BUDS auto feeding chart for expert for general hydro to the T and adding HYDROGUARD 5. I have one caramel cream auto with mag deficiency signs on some bpottom fan leaves but i believe i got that fixed when i did the water change, not sure why just her , unless i goofed on the bucket mix. Which brings me to next statement ... IM INVESTING IN A GDAM 13 GALLON x 8 bucket plus RES kit for next grow ... Doing and maintaining 7 buckets is a royal pain in the ass . I honestly only expected 4 plants out of the 7 . AND expected fully i would kill something along the way I am visually impaired and BRain Tumor Dude .. so i gots some issues sometimes . .. but if you check out the videos i post in a bit here you can see, WTF i am doing ok i feel like . Great looking plants from my amateur opinion , always room for improvement as i am super critial of everything i do OCD/ADHD glorious combo BUT YES a better setup is needed for ease of use .. I bought my complete setup at PA HYDROPONICS , meaning my BUCKETS with fittings and hydroton . 200 bucks could not find better price anywhere he does a great fallponics custom build with 3 inch pvc that i have seen in action and tis a thing of beauty for us home growers. Plus i can add a small chiller to the mix to keep that temp a tad bit lower. IT about an 800 dollar upgrade BUT for the rest of my setup it belongs : vivosun 4x9 tent Ac Infinity T8 x 2 <one for vent one for blower , also have a great merv 13 filter box from ac infinity so as not to such in yuck from basement. 2 california solar extreme 550 So i figure adding an 8 bucket fallponics to fill the tent would look so much better tahn my 5 gallons and the constant checking each one and filling etc .... Having the res would be nice I also see the cons of it as if you goof you goof on all not just one .... But i m fairly certain i will upgrade. ***************** So right now it looks like nice buds are starting to form on all 7, the Glue Gleatos are much taller and full than the caramel creams ... I am tracking water being added and at this rate will need another change over in a day or two if drinking 1/2 gal a day and about 3 gallons <12 liters> labout inch from bottom of net pot. Rule of thumb being water change to replace nutes when you replace a volume equal to the total volume ... which is about every 6 days , last water change being 8/7 I will post some more when i inspect the ladies when i turn on the lights at 2 pm First time grower in setu

BERRY BOMB AUTO (Bomb Seeds) x2 42 days from sprout. BERRY BOMB (A) : 57.9 cm, has shown some nice growth in height and has developed three main branches, and so I've been calling her the hydra. BERRY BOMB (B) : 77.7 cm, had a massive growth spurt (for my tent size at least) and is also maturing much quicker than the rest of the plants in the tent. I'm thinking I maybe should have topped her as well. She is also the first to smell of berries (lightly so far).

This week was a little late due to the holiday. This is the week RSQ Wedding Cake flipped to flower. I accidentally super cropped her when trying to bend a branch over. After that she started drinking a whole lot more (hence the underwatered pictures)

// Day 91 She is getting there. The buds ware not fattening up as much as I wanted to but her trichomes are almost all cloudy and a very low minority is amber. So I guess I give her 2-3 more days and cut her down on friday or saturday. This time I try out the bro science: Befor cutting, I'll let her stay in the dark for 48h. So maybe I turn off the lights tomorrow until friday and chop her down. The bro science hypothesis is that the not ending darkness will give her a last stress which boosts trichome production. || Edit: I‘m not here for bro science, so I am not doing that shit // Day 94 I chopped her down today. Since I need to do a bud wash (spider mites, outdoor grow), I can't hang the plant whole. So I cut the stems into as big pieces as possible and washed them with deluted hydrogenperoxide. I hanged them into the tent and try to dry them as long as possible.

Day 64: Second Grow We’re now in the fifth week of the flowering stage, and the buds are getting thicker by the day. We’ve decided to order a microscope to keep a closer eye on the trichome development. Additionally, we’re considering ordering CANNAZYM, a nutrient that could help our buds grow even bigger and healthier. Here’s to another week of growth and progress!!

Finally moved these two up into 7 gallon fabric pots. I didn’t want to let them go any longer in those little pots! Especially with the kind of year I’ve been having. Anyways, on that note, here is a video of those 3 photoperiods; one of each, an A-Train, an Alien Rock Candy, and Ackbar OG.

Week 9 is coming to an end and it's almost time to harvest. At this point the plants are really loud. I dimmed the light and will probably harvest during week 10. At this point I won't water the plants any more.
