Hey guys. This week I ended up moving my 2x2 tent into the shed. Well, that didn't last too long. It got way to hot in the tent and then got to how int the tent. I don't have an AC unit attached to the tent.

This week was so mixed with the ladies and the heat issue we had this week. Cherry Bomb seemed to be the only one who didn't care that it got hot the rest have burned leaves from the heat. But they all are bouncing back and should be looking better over the next week.

En observación, ya no realizare mas técnica. En este punto aumente el fertilizante 5, 6 ml X litro de agua, no tiene ninguna plaga, me preocupe de eliminar algunas de sus ramas y hojas en las que no llegaba el sol.

May 31st Everything is looking good after the LST from last week, I said I was going to swap them into flower and I realized that I should wait another week or so as they will be going into a new home so to speak. Updates coming next week for that. Doesn't look like to many PH issues anymore or whatever was happening but the plants seem a bit happier now June 1st I Figured today would be a good day to do a bit of defoliation on these girls in order to get some more light down to the newer growth. I didn't take a ton off as you can see, but for the size of the plant I suppose it was a decent amount. I read somewhere that a general rule of thumb is only defoliate roughly 30% of the plant at most. I'm not to sure if it is true but I tried to stay within that general rule. June 2nd, I decided since I would have them in veg for at least a little while long I would top them again. After topping I gave them some water and nutrients. I know I said I would do straight water for the next one but I went for it anyways as it seems the flowering mixture may be giving it some deficiency's. So I gave them the recommended feeding for heavy veg growth. I gave about 3L to the bigger plant and around 2L to the smaller plant (as it was still a bit moist but it wasn't damp). My crappy soil tester was saying my soil was at around 8PH so I figured I would aim to feed around 6ph. With the small amount of runoff from the smaller plant I did A PH test and the PH seemed to be around the 4.5-5ph area. My liquid ph meter arrived broken so I am waiting for the new one, therefore I am using the general hydroponics liquid test kit. I presume my soil ph is lower then the water I have given seeing as it went from 6ph water to around 4.5. Next feeding I will aim to feed at 7PH. With the defoliation I just made sure that the tie downs were decently tight still and moved what I thought needed to be moved. June 3rd,4th Not a ton to update on. I didn't get any pictures for these 2 days. June 5th Some obvious problems going on with the bigger plant. I am guessing it is the PH issue but I am still unsure. The one browned leaf I accidentally squished in the tie down while I was low stress training it so it got a bit damaged. Other then that the plants are growing decent. Im not sure why I didn't have more pictures for today but I mainly took problems of the problem areas. June 6th Not much going on still. They are still just hanging out not doing to much. It was a busy work week so pictures in general were a bit lazy. I will try to get more for the upcoming weeks. Big news for next week!

LST is doing great 😌

She is super frosty, super stinky, and she's done. I see plenty amber trichomes.

This strain took really well to LST and didn’t seem fazed by the training at all. She did become a really heavy drinker about two weeks or so into flower and she definitely seemed to want more nutes than usual. I believe I’ve got two more seeds so will be running this one again if the smoke is worth it.

Weather is better now. Slug Population ist decreasing.

This OGgelato is a champ! Not the heaviest producer, but its been a real pleasure and was easy to grow. No matter what nutrients I throw at her, or aggressive pruning, she bounces right back. This week I found bud rot on one of my other plants in the greenhouse but this plant has so far been resistant and is healthy. I thinned the canopy and defoliated out quite a bit to create more air flow. I now have fans on 24/7 and sprayed with a mycorrizhal fungicide that suppresses botrytis. Also this week I have stopped pulling the tarp on and off each night (for total darkness) because it seemed to trap in too much humidity at night. The humidity outside has been 80-90% for over a week! And the rain was so heavy all last week. This week is slightly warmer with less rain so hoping we can make it. The trichomes are starting to get milky. I imagine I have 1-2 weeks left but am not sure. This has been a pleasurable experience for sure, but this is stressful right now! The smell is so strong you can smell it on my block. You can see *everything* from the alleyway adjacent to the greenhouse. I'm worried about mold and thiefs and can not wait for this to be dried and in jars!

Groeiverslag: Purple Mints (Paradise Seeds) Week 1 bloei (dag 35-42 vanaf ontkiemen, eerste week na switch naar 12/12) Totaal week: ~week 5 vanaf zaad Opstelling: 3 × 11 liter stoffen potten, Biobizz Light-Mix, BestVA 415W LED (op ~40-45 cm hoogte, 12/12 schema, dimmer op ~70-80% voor bloei-start), EC 1,4-1,6, pH 6,2-6,5, temperatuur 24-26°C dag / 19-21°C nacht, RV 45-55% Algemene groei & stretch Hoogte: 38-44 cm vanaf de grond (gemiddeld ~41 cm, +9 cm sinds week 4) Aantal knoppen: 8-10 sets + top per plant Stamdikte: 11-13 mm Rek: Minimaal tot matig (~25-35% groei), zoals verwacht bij deze indica-dominante Purple Mints (75% indica). De planten blijven compact en bossig – geen wilde stretch, perfect voor de 11L potten en versterkte LST-structuur. Kleur: Diep donkergroen, met bij twee planten nu duidelijk paarse gloed op bladstelen en nieuw blad (anthocyanine slaat door door de bloeiswitch + koelere nachten). De derde plant blijft nog grotendeels groen, maar toont wel paarse hints op de onderkantjes. Bloemontwikkeling (week 1 bloei) Pre-flowers ontwikkelen zich snel: kleine witte stampers exploderen bij alle knooppunten, knoppen beginnen te vormen (calyxen zwellen op). Nog geen echte knoppen, maar de sites worden beschadigd en hariger. Geur intenser: zoete munt + fruitige (aardbei/banaan) ondertoon, met een lichte prikkelende/skunky hint – typisch Purple Mints die al ruikt als je erlangs loopt. Bladontwikkeling Bladeren gezond en donkergroen, suikerblaadjes groeien mee en worden plakkerig. Geen tekorten, geen verbranding of gele randen – fanbladeren blijven strak. Nieuwe groei focust nu op bloemvorming op plaats van hoogte. Wortelontwikkeling Wortels nog actief in de 11L potten, maar groei vertraagt ​​licht nu in bloei. Witte wortels vullen de pot goed, drainagegaten tonen gezonde activiteit. Geen stress – de grotere potten helpen bij de voedingshongerige fase. Water & voeding deze week 4-5x bewaterd met 1,8-2,2 liter per plant (25-30% aangepast aan hogere drinkbehoefte in bloei) Hesi bloei-schema gestart: – Hesi Bloom Complex 5 ml/L – Hesi Boost 2 ml/L (2x per week) – Hesi PowerZyme 2 ml/L – Hesi SuperVit 1 druppel/10L EC: 1.5-1.6, pH bijgesteld naar 6.3 Plant drinkt meer sinds de overstap; geen overvoedingssignalen – alles opgenomen en strak. Training / vorming LST/scrog-net aangespannen: alle hoofdtakken (7-9 per plant) op gelijke hoogte gehouden. Met minimale stretch is de kroon mooi plat en vaak gevuld – ideale lichtpenetratie onder de BestVA 415W (volledig spectrum, Samsung LM301B diodes). Geen nieuwe training meer; alleen bijsturen als nodig. Samenvatting week 1 bloei De overstap naar 12/12 verliep perfect – minimale rek, snelle stamperontwikkeling en vroege geurboost bij alle drie de planten. De Purple Mints-genetica schittert al: compacte structuur, kleurvariatie en voedingshonger die goed wordt opgevangen door Hesi Bloom + Boost en de 11L potten. De BestVA 415W (gedimd maar krachtig) dekt het trio uitstekend in ~120x120 cm gebied. Verwacht in week 2-3 bloei gevormde toppen en meer trichomen. Nog ~7-8 weken tot oogst (totaal 55-60 dagen bloei). Dit trio wordt vet – drie compacte, kleurrijke beestjes onder goed licht!

Smells like kush and a grape pixie stick

Sep 7: what a great plant. Totally love how it’s going. Flowers keep getting fatter and heavier and she’ll be done before the end of September. Sep 8: there a tree root sticking up a bit in my yard which means the plant can be tilted toward the late afternoon sun. This is helpful because the sun is getting really low to the horizon already and we’re down to 13 h of daylight. Plus now direct sun is done in my yard by about 6 pm. Indirect light is okay but you really want direct sun at all times. Videos shows use of 730 nm far red light at dusk. Just a few seconds is all it takes to set the plant into dark mode two hours faster. It’s a bloom booster because you get two bonus hours of darkness or a 26 h day. Very effective but don’t miss a night and you have to adjust the timing each night. When starting this on July 20 Civil Twilight, as listed on timeanddate.com for my location, was at 9:45 and today it was at 8:40 pm. The red light at dusk is a highly recommended trick if you have daily access to your outdoor plants. Also works indoors, of course, and on autos too. Also I think it helps ‘stabilize’ the plant by emphatically putting it into dark mode, and therefore less susceptible to stray light to cause a hermie. Have not had hermie problems in four seasons of using the red light so that is my only ‘proof’ but it is true so far, even with taking flash pics before using the red light. Sep 9: getting heavier and now more branches are weighed down and slumping against the scrog net. Nice problem to have, I know, and without the scrog net some of the branches would be breaking off now. She’s now officially too big and too top heavy to keep moving around the yard in pursuit of direct sun. Sun is much lower to horizon now and direct sun hours are dropping too. Sep 10: getting close to done and getting very top heavy. Awesome. Sep 12: raining today. Has been cool last few nights and some purple colour is just starting to show. I don’t want to overdo fertilizer near the end, but I decided she is showing K deficiency. I’m out of malted barley but I still have potassium silicate, so I used that and some cal-mag. I’m avoiding kelp and molasses or using more P at this late stage because that can make the dried bud hard to burn and that really sucks. So, potassium silicate and cal-mag it is. The potassium silicate raises the pH and it takes about the same volume of vinegar to get the pH down. A good does of acetate is likely good for the bugs in the soil too. Then a squirt of Dr Bronners soap as a surfactant and that also supplies some biodegradable carbon for the bugs in the soil. Seems to work overall and is cheap. Apologies for the large number of pics, but she’s so photogenic. 😎 #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds

In week 3, I repotted the plants, including the automatics, into nice large 12.5-18 liter pots and, for the first time, watered each plant with 3 liters of water and added fertilizer from Biobizz (Root Juice, Grow, Heaven). After 3 weeks, the plants look very beautiful :) I want to do some LST on the C99, but i want them to chill for some days after the repotting. *Edit*New Pics I just wait with the LST because my flowers were really stressed and had in fact some problems. after i read some informations i just addet a little bit biobizz bloom & top for some iron etc, I think the flowers look better in shape now, i dont know because they chilled or cause of the fertilizer adding. LG

Took 2 clones from my sunset sherbet this week towards the end of the week. There continues to be explosive growth with this plant. I plan on switching to flower in a month or so and we will find out how she really performs.

No photos this week... My bad 😞 😭

Hey guys! Here's the 3rd week of flower! 😻 This week I trimmed my babies (just a little, about 8 leaves or less each plant). Some leaves were healthy but were blocking a lot of light from the flowers and tucking them wasn't doing the job anymore. Besides that Boomer stretched out a lot (which also worried me as I didn't want my babies to go wild on me. I LSTed some of them hoping that would fix the issue). Where I live has been getting somewhat cold at night and I fear that might be doing something to my babies (I hope to be wrong). Besides that the flowers are getting bigger everyday and some are even starting to show some trichomes (I think looks cute!). The pistils are also getting bigger and the smell is stronger now (it was already strong). Near the end of the week I saw Falco's leaves were getting yellow and I suspect it is nitrogen deficiency... and what's causing it is probably some residues at the end of the pot (so I might need to flush her) or maybe I just need to feed her more nutes). Keep in mind she used to be quite small during veg and only in the end she grew enough to be transplanted to a bigger pot. Maybe she's just special? This week you'll see less timelapses compared to last week... I forgot to take photos for about 3 days 😅 but at least there are some! I hope you'll enjoy what I'm sharing! Thanks for reading! 👋

Fifth week of flowering. I see a difference every day. I'm starting to fear them. Every time I open the tent, a sweet scent wafts through the room.
