Shortly after they were switched to flowering (after week 3) the plants continue to stretch and then start to develop their first flowers. Now in week 7 all plants have very nice flower clusters all over the plant and side branches. They have grown to 45 cm (=Shiva Skunk on left side) and 40 cm (Serious Kush on right side of aisle) in height respectively and all plants have a nice dark green color, which shows they are healthy and also that the Advanced Nutrients schedule works like a treat. The Q6W-Gen.2 LED-Lamps are now dimmed to 100% (=three green LEDs on the dimmer) and work on FULL POWER, which ensures full fledged flower production. Both varieties have now started to exude their typical aroma. The Shiva Skunk starts to smell musky and sweet, while the Serious Kush smells 'gassy' and 'fuely' like its OG-Kush heritage. The flower clusters on the Serious Kush appear to grow denser than the clusters on the Shiva Skunk.

It is day 30 and we are finally seeing some growth starting after a few days of being locked out due to what I believe is from nutrient burn. Won’t go as heavy next top dress. I have ordered a soil ph pen which will be arriving tomorrow so that I can’t test my soil ph and the run off. Until then I have ph'd the water to 6.0 to hopefully stimulate more growth before flower. These plants are very short but stacked! I can’t wait to see how big they are at pre flower. After it’s 3rd week stretch. Reach for the skies bitches! Watering less aswell. I believe iam overwatering because I go days without seeing these girls. Exhale c02 bag doing well. Resembles mould at the moment. I want to take a moment to thank everyone who’s visited my diary. I hope to bring you great content! Always open to helpful suggestions. Stay tuned! Day 34 and we are at pre flower. See those hairs comin. Now they all gonna streeeeeetch. Drop a comment, like, or just offer me some advice. We’re all family here ✌️. Doin a little LST now that the space between the nodes are far enough for me to feel comfortable doing so. There was no where to put them no matter how slow I tried haha. Also have each girl in something that resembles the cross face chicken wing from the WWE. Little fan on fan action. It’s like the leaves were meant to stuck together. The knotches in the leaves interlock I mean. I stretch the upper fan leaf to the one directly below it. Opening up both shoots. Hope they made sense lmao.

Week 7+8 for Thelma and Louise and both gals are looking great! As I mentioned before I'm going to let these ladies go until the fade is nice and the trichs are at least 30% amber and I hope that results in FATTY colas! I cut out the silica since they are flowering nicely now. These girls have the most rock-hard stems I've come across so far, feels like bamboo and a karate kick wouldn't do shit to it LOL! Happy growing everyone!

Frostbanger Plants 1-6 First thank you if you actually look at all these pictures that I photobomb with each week. Documenting six plants on a tester strain to provide ample information regarding the new strain characteristics takes a lot of time, work, and effort. I am so frustrated with Grow Diaries system doesn’t load pics or videos without error. When I load pictures, I am systematic and load every picture on that plant together, each video that I load first on the pictures identifies the plant pictures that follows. However, Grow Diaries puts the videos first, moving the picture out of order. I know which pictures of plant parts go with each plant, but with GD shuffling my pictures around good luck everybody else. This week I had so many errors uploading simple pictures that I had to go back and reload them. You may see multiple duplicate pics this time due to these system errors. Sorry about that but at least they are there. I will not do this level of photographs and diary support again. Week 11 June 1-7 FLOWER 6 Nutrients : 3 gal GH Micro 7,5ml GH Gro 0ml GH Bloom 23ml CalMag 7.5 ml Elm Bloom 15ml 6/1 PH 6.62 PPM 646, temp 67 2 ltr each 6/3 PH 6.6, PPM 493, temp 68 2ltr each 6/5 PH 5,84, PPM 580, temp 68.5 2ltr 6/3 Defoliation 6/4 weekly pics & vid As aways, thanks for visiting, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support because I surely haven’t gotten any from @Fast_Buds on this grow.

🐒 🍌 🌴🐒 🍌 🌴🐒 🍌 🌴🐒 🍌 🌴🐒 🍌 🌴🐒 🍌 🌴🐒 🍌 🌴 Welcome to week 3!! 😘 I swapped the Mars Hydro TS1000 for my Greenception GC4. It's a much better light, not that the TS1000 would be a horrible light, I would just not wanna use it when I have a GC around. 😎 I know how to use it and it has always given me tasty results! 🤤 The tepms are lower now, and with my low humidity that's just very welcome! 🙏 I overwatered them a bit, so no waterings so far this week. 😬 I made a background panel for the Kannabia ladies, that was frenetic fun for me. I hope you like it as well, growllegues!! 💚 😅 Thanks, my growmies for visiting and reading and commenting, I love reading your comments! Mwah! 😘 Thank you, @Kannabia, for sponsoring this grow, aaaaand for the amazing gift pack! 😍 I hope to make you proud! 🧡 Grower's love!! 💚 __________________________________________________________________ https://www.kannabia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/monkey-grease Monkey Grease At Kannabia Seeds we have put all our effort into bringing out our own feminized Monkey Grease, a cross between Monkey Grease x White Widow, focusing above all on giving it its own personality in flavor and aroma (frankly unmistakable). Its own personality At Kannabia Seeds we have put all our effort into bringing out our own feminized Monkey Grease, a cross between Monkey Grease x White Widow, focusing above all on giving it its own personality in flavor and aroma (frankly unmistakable) and, of course, in Highly demanded characteristics, such as high resistance to diseases and pests, and adaptability to all types of growing conditions, making it close and easy to grow to the widest possible range of growers. The result is a really powerful and versatile indica-sativa marijuana seed, with a powerful relaxing effect, ideal for those moments when you want to disconnect from the madding crowd. Cultivation of Monkey Grease Which cultivation method would be most appropriate for this variety? Good question… and one that is easy to answer. Its versatility and adaptability make it a true all-rounder, with remarkably uniform results, whether you choose SOG, SCROG, hydroponics or guerrilla growing. Moreover, we invite you to experiment and play, varying the techniques from moment to moment, and to draw your own conclusions. We are convinced that in all cases, apart from minor variations, the results will always be optimal, giving remarkable yields and in a short time. Attention should be paid to its high bud production, which can be fat, dense and heavy, although its sturdy branches are able to bear heavy loads without major problems. If you are a fan of extractions, our Monkey Grease is also optimal, given its high production of caramelised resin. If it is already amazingly productive indoors, this variety excels on its own merits outdoors, where it can easily reach 200 cm in height, and can reach between 700 and 800 grams per plant. It is therefore an easy and grateful plant, which demands little from its gardeners, making do with simple basic care, and with little or no propensity to develop diseases or mildew, or to attract pests (despite its striking aroma!). Taste and effect of Monkey Grease Our Monkey Grease stands out first and foremost because of its powerful, strong smell, which is hard to camouflage. A penetrating aroma that unfolds, in a balanced way, on the palate in the form of a wide range of spicy and sweet flavours, reminiscent of wild honey, nougat and cinnamon, and distant notes of milk chocolate. A delicious treat to be savoured calmly, without haste, as a preamble to its pleasant effect: extremely relaxing and narcotic, powerful, ideal for meditation and moments of introspection and meditation. Don’t be in a hurry with Monkey Grease. It can be your perfect ally to treat those stress and anxiety problems, but for that you must let yourself go, surrender to its charms, especially if you are inexperienced. ________________________________________________________ Setup: 60x60x180 cm Zelsius Greenception GC4 128W 4 Cluster OSRAM + CREE LEDs (380, 455, 630, 660, 720, 760nm) 6400k (cold-white to cover the basic load during the growth) 2100k (warm-white to cover the basic load during the blossom) The module groups can be switched individual as follows: ⬤ Module I: growth 1x 32 watt ⬤ Module II: full spectrum: 2x32 watt ⬤ Module III: Bloom: 1x 32 watt ⬤ Module I is optimized for the growth phase.

We continue our way to the finish line. There are two weeks left. The smell is bitterness, hashish, a little sweetness and (if you touch the trichomes) - a clear smell of wood. Everything is as according to the passport of the strain.👍 I examined the trichomes-given the number of amber trichomes on the tops, the evening potential of the Rock Machine should be fully revealed by the time of harvest 🤙

Well after different bits of advice last week I decided to take fast buds advice and keep feeding, she's on day 70 now all her leaves are fading, I'm guessing this is just because she is coming to the end of her cycle,.. still not sure when to start flushing as fast reckoned there was 3-4 weeks left that was 7 days ago so now still 2-3,.. I reckon 1 more week of food but just what I've put on the nutrient list nomore and then start a flush, just to say I appreciate all and any advice given to me I just followed fastbuds advice as I thought probably safest option. Thanks everyone. Roll on next week 👌

WEEK 16 - (06/13/2021 - 06/19/2021) Week 8, Day 50 - FLOWER: 06/13/2021 After inspecting the trichome development for the last 7-10 days or so, I’ve decided that today would be the ideal time to begin flushing. The American Pie #1 does not look like it’s ready to begin flushing quite yet, as she appears to be about a week behind in maturity. Despite that, I’ll still begin flushing her today too. Recycled water: 70ppm, 69℉ + pH Up: 7ml Mixture: 95ppm, 6.4 pH, 69℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 895/800, 6.1 pH AP#1 - 529/434, 6.5 pH AP#2 - 365/270, 6.7 pH GC#1 - 624/529, 6.3 pH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 8, Day 51 - FLOWER: 06/14/2021 Did a trichome check on the plants today. Spent more time with the Jelly Banana to better determine her maturity level. She actually looks like she is ready to harvest today. I’d say trichomes are 75-80% milky, with an amber trichome here and there. I’m going to try and push her through at least one more low-ppm watering and test the runoff. If I start seeing more amber trichome development, I will cut her down. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 8, Day 54 - FLOWER: 06/17/2021 Recycled water (8 gallons): 69ppm, 5.8 pH, 70℉ + HydroGuard: 8ml + pH Up: 3ml Mixture: 82ppm, 6.0 pH, 70℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 688/606, 6.5 pH GC#1 - 602/520, 6.5 pH AP#2 - 633/551, 6.9 pH AP#1 - 685/603, 6.5 pH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [SUMMARY] I expect this to be my last full week of flower. All the girls are looking ripe for the chopping. The aroma that bursts out of the tent when I unzip it every time is heavenly. American Pie #1 is still about a week behind in maturity, but she will get cut down with the other plants regardless. Jelly Bananen started to turn a lime green color so she'll probably get chopped and hung up in the next few days when my second tent arrives (4x2 AC Infinity). That wraps up this week! See you ladies and gentleman in the next entry. 🙏

Día 36. Estamos en 6ta semana. Los esquejes se atrasaron debido a que han sido días muy fríos y no he logrado enraizarlos. Decidí poner el extractor de aire junto con la bomba de aire, así solamente se prende 15 minutos cada hora. Así estoy logrando temperaturas mayores a 24°C en el indoor y así voy a lograr el enraizado. La planta ya tiene un tamaño que ocupa casi todo el indoor. Pero lo importante es que la voy guiando y ya estoy proyectando como va a ir cada rama. El tamaño va a exceder lo que esperaba, pero aún así creo que si logro lo que tengo en mente, voy a sacar muy buenos resultados. Igual no me voy a arriesgar demasiado, así que si contando 10 días desde ahora, no logro que los esquejes enraicen, voy a pasar la madre a floración sola. Cómo pueden ver, las ramas están bastante gruesas, y el la ramificaciones van ganando su lugar cada una. Las raíces son demasiado grandes, aunque sé que voy a poder poner la planta en el sistema de arriba igual, aunque me voy a tener que ayudar de algo para meterlas. Es importante no utilizar las manos, ya que se pueden transmitir muchos hongos. Voy a seguir actualizando e ir viendo que pasa. Pero ya estamos en los últimos días de crecimiento, haya o no esquejes. Incluso puede que ya pase la planta al indoor de arriba para darle mayor libertad de crecimiento. Esto me va a servir para tlmar en cuenta en la próxima camada que se vendrá. La idea de esto es hacer las cosas rápido, y no en gran tamaño. Pero siendo que ya estoy en el baile, no me queda otra que bailar. Día 40 Los esquejes no estaban enraizando, así que decidí cambiarlos de lugar y los puse arriba de la luz, donde les da calor y luz tenue. Espero que ahora si agarren. Y hoy fue el gran día, pasé la planta madre al módulo de arriba. Pero lo voy a dejar una semana más creciendo. De esa forma veo si los esquejes llegan a agarrar a tiempo. Y además tuve un problema en el trasplante. Primero que la planta se hizo más grande que lo esperado, y la raíz también. Cuando la pasé, hubo contacto de la raiz con prácticamente todo lo que había cerca. Sumado a que se enredó en el oxigenador, así que quedó una pidra difusora en la raíz. Dado el alto riesgo de haberla contaminado con algún hongo, le puse una solución de agua con agua oxigenada, recirculando continuamente, para lavar las raices y de paso bajar el stress de teansplante. Mañana veremos cómo arranca el día. En el aprendizaje me llevo que en la madre, es mejor hacer un corte en el primer nudo, o dejar las ramas del segundo y quitar las del primero. Y así que queden sólo dos ramas, para luego dejar a los esquejes en el medio. Eso planeo hacer con la próxima variedad. Entre tanto ahora sólo me preocupa que la raíz no se haya contaminado en el traspaso. Ya en 8 días estaré pasando a floración si no hay esquejes. Si llegan a agarrar, habrá que dar unos días de crecimiento hasta que alcancen a la madre en altura. Pero ya está todo en definición. Ahora sólo queda esperar y seguir guiando a la planta. Ya tengo ganas de poner la próxima, pero falta bastante para eso. Tengo 10 semanas de flora, así que recién en 5 semanas voy a poner la nueva madre.

End of week 4 marking around the half way point as both strains both have 8-9 week flower periods. Runtz Muffin #1 already looks like it's going to have more of a longer airy bud structure compared to the others

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Coop Poop, Molasses, Feather Meal, and Soluble Kelp are ml/gallon of soil top dressed. Everything else listed in nutrients is ml/gallon of water fed to plants without checking the solution Ph. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 76°F. Skies were overcast and cloudy. I watered about 4 gallons. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 80°F. Skies were sunny, but everything was still humid. I watered about 4 gallons. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 84°F. Skies were sunny, but humidity was running high. I watered 4-5 gallons. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 73°. Skies were clear and sunny. The humidity only reached a high in the mid 50% and a low of 30%. There truly is a God who knows this garden needs some dry air for harvest. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 71°. Skies were super sunny and humidity is averaging around 40%. I watered about 5 gallons. We are having excellent weather to finish. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 82°. There was abundant sunshine. Super clear skies and humidity dipped into low 30%'s. I watered about 5 gallons. Not so much because of them feeding heavy but the arid conditions and sunshine. I've treated these with very thorough washing of the pm. This week was a success. We've gotten so busy, it's all we can do to keep the garden going, while harvesting, drying, and processing. I've had to wash all the fastbuds repeatedly this week to get the pm off of them. We had a brutal mid and late flower. Extremely high humidity, ridiculous amounts of rain and cool nights, thunderstorms blowing in and just overall brutal weather for cannabis. It's a blessing to have late flower perfect weather. We should harvest next week.
