This next week one of my plants really got its first trichome coating. This plant also recieved a small addition of gaia greens bloom amendment. The rest remained slighly behind. After I examined the stems I found many interesting results from the first toxicity burn early in vegative. One of the plants stems grow as if it was FIM’ed with many more small branches shooting out. Seemed like a top site turned into 6 main branches. I removed that plant due to its height and lack of stem size from being an auto-flower. The second oldest looking plant began to juice up this week. The second oldest also was the only plant that received a proper topping and has many side branches as large as main colas of other plants.

Semana 3 Del 31 de diciembre al 6 de enero Entramos en semana 3 desde el cambio de ciclo. Realizamos una defoliacion bastamte severa, será la ultima rn principio. Seguimos con la tonica de riegos de siempre. Sigue haciendo mucho frio y las temperaturas son bastante bajas. Minimas de 13°c y en ON rondaremos los 18/19°C Para ser semana 3 veo que todo va un poco lento, pero bueno, veremos como avanza. 5 de enero Los frios no cesan y lo estan notando bastante, creo que no se estan desarrollando al 100% o que tal vez vayan con mas retraso y la fecha de corte sera mas tarde de lo esperado. En estas cepas creo que cometi un error al hacerle el cambio tan rapido o mas bien que debi dejar que se hicieran mas grandes porque al hacer el cambio a 12h se han quedado cirtas para mi gusto. Rondaran los 48/56cm de momento, eso si, las 3 muy equlibradas entre si. Eso si que no sean grandes no quita no vayan bien. Las ramas de los satelites se ven muy fuertes y tienen pinta de que la mayor parte de los frutos partenocarpicos estaran en la porra central. Seguiremos informando de como avanza la cosa.

Was a good learning experience. I'm not going to get near the weight I expected from these, and though the bud turned out really tasty, I don't think I'll grow it again. I'm not sure I would recommend to a newbie. It was in some awesome living soil, but some deficiencies crept up in flower, and I wasn't impressed with the roots upon post mortem exam. On second look, even the photo on msnl's site shows some spots that looks like deficiencies. Definitely some grower errors here, but all of my ongoing grows faced the same challenges and these just seemed less adaptable. Anyhow, I've been graced with some clean meds for now, and I'm a happy growin hooman. 👽 I also probably won't do any more autoflowers moving forward. Just not my style. There are some great peeps doing outstanding work with autos though. Best to them and all! :) D82 - 12.12 - cut the second auto cheese yesterday. Let her go as long as I was comfortable. Think her run in with the gnats resulted in the the deficiencies. Awfully covered in trichs, so it should make for tasty smoke after dried, trimmed and cured.. Shall update

11.01 - Watered ~ 3L with worm casting tea (2Gal water, 2 cups worm castings, 2 TBPS Roots Bloom Terp Tea) 11.02 - Solid defoliation of fan leaves and removal of bud sites below scrog 11.04 - Misted soil 11.05 - 3 L w/ 1/2 tsp Recharge - Top dressed with 2 Tbps Terp Tea Bloom

Die extrem hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit, verursacht durch die vielen Regen dieser Woche hat auch bei ihr Spuren hinterlassen. Ich musste eine daumennagelgroße Stelle aufgrund Budrot säubern. Der Ventilator lief zwar die ganze Zeit im Folienzelt, aber oszillierend, ich habe auf Dauergebläse direkt auf den Haupttrieb gestellt (Etwas ernten möchte ich schon noch.). Die Luftfeuchtigkeit war teilweise nachts bei 91%, der Ventilator kann es auf 74-81% herunterdrücken. Es sollen zwei regenreiche Tage kommen, danach solle wieder wärmer werden und damit höhere Temperaturen und auch hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit. Ansonsten ist sie auf dem Höhepunkt der Blüte, nur die kleinen unteren Buds sind noch im Wachstum. Der Duft ist stark und sehr süßlich geworden, die Buds werden harzig. Auch um Schimmelbildung zu minimieren habe ich die Wasserversorgung sehr eingeschränkt, sie wird von nun an auch ohne Dünger für die letzten zwei Wochen auskommen. Wenn sie es bis zur Ernte in ca. zwei Wochen schafft, ist noch eine gute Ernte für Outdoor zu erwarten. Aber bis dahin kann viel passieren. Wünscht mir viel Glück, ich kann es diesen Sommer gebrauchen. --- The extremely high humidity caused by the heavy rainfall this week has also left its mark on her. I had to clean a thumbnail-sized area due to bud rot. The fan was running continuously in the foil tent, but oscillating, so I set it to continuous operation directly on the main shoot (I would still like to harvest something). The humidity was sometimes 91% at night, but the fan can reduce it to 74-81%. Two rainy days are forecast, followed by warmer weather with higher temperatures and high humidity. Otherwise, it is at the peak of flowering, with only the small lower buds still growing. The scent has become strong and very sweet, and the buds are becoming resinous. To minimize mold growth, I have also greatly restricted the water supply, and from now on it will have to manage without fertilizer for the last two weeks. If it makes it to harvest in about two weeks, a good outdoor harvest is still to be expected. But a lot can happen between now and then. Wish me luck, I can use it this summer.

Start of Week 5 Over the last couple of days the smell went from a slight hint before entering the space to a pungent smell that just wofts from the plants. I've never grown a full screen before and never noticed how much these smell. It is possible it could be the Granddaddy Purple but my guess from the good bag smell on this strain, that it's the critical smell. I have two sections of plants growing from the same feeding resivour. For the first time ever I've decided to do a mid grow flush. I ran through 1-2gal of water on each 5 gal bucket. I use only perlite as medium so I figured that I wouldn't need much to flush. It all drained back to the main resivour and I disposed of it. I ran a 24hr cycle of straight PHed tallboy filtered tap water (160ppm) and then drained that again (340ppm). I refilled the resivour with fresh nutes and PHed again (1100ppm)

I missed last week but the girls are looking so good and frosty now! Not much of a difference in them, from then to now. They're super sticky and they smell amazing. The best way to describe it would be, "a sweet funk". I actually had to chop one down 😓to make some room in the flower tent... it was btw. Other than that, I noted that the girls needed some calmag so they're getting some in the dirt this week. I am so excited, I can't for these to finish.

I have a plant with a tobacco virus but zero problems. continue :)

Day 95 / FL day 15, Gave both plants a heavy defoliation to allow light into all bud sites. I think I'm pushing my luck with the amount of stress I've been giving these plants. But I also think they can take it. Only time will tell. Day 98 / FL day 18, Plants have recovered well after heavy defoliation. Lots of new leaf growth. Hopefully this will help to increase nug size. Day 101 / FL day 21, Topped dressed plants with a 3/4 inch layer of living soil for a little bit of extra nutrients. Waiting until week 5 of flower to add another round of Gaia Green dry amendments.

In the end I was pretty happy and surprised about the dense and hard buds! Especially when I think about the way we had to move this plant in a setup that was completely crap except the LEDs.

***Video Added March 14th*** March 13, 2019 Update: We’re getting to the end of the road here. DinaMed and all three Cherry’s were cut down on Saturday and hanging. The Critical+ and Cream & Cheese CBD are flushing with straight water and will be cut down this weekend. I’ll be taking samples of the DinaMed and Cherry to the local dispensary for potency testing this weekend. Pics were taken both with lights on and lights off. I used a flash when the lights were off. The first round of pics are with the HPS off and the flash on, the second round is with the HPS on and the flash off. I probably won't update this diary again until I have the test results back and final dry weights for all plants - 10 days or so. 🙏 p.s. I'm starting a couple new diaries next, check em out! 👍

Week 2 of flowering was all about maintaining a healthy stretch while continuing to shape the canopy underneath the SCROG net. 🌸 Candy Hustle responded incredibly well throughout the week, showing vigorous vertical growth and filling more and more of the available screen every single day. 🚀🌿 The ongoing heat wave continued to make climate control challenging. Temperatures stayed around 28°C with 60% relative humidity, and despite additional efforts it simply wasn't possible to lower either value any further. 🌡️💧 Fortunately, Candy Hustle seemed to thrive under these conditions, showing no signs of heat stress while maintaining strong daily growth and excellent leaf posture. ☀️💚 This week the plant received one feeding of Orgatrex and one application of Green House Bio Enhancer, alongside RO water with CalMag. 💧🌱 The biological activity in the soil continues to develop nicely, and the plant appears to be making excellent use of the nutrients available in the BioTabs system. Training remained the primary focus throughout the week.🌱 Every few days the main branches were tucked back underneath the SCROG net to keep the canopy as level as possible while encouraging more secondary shoots to reach the light. The screen is now filling very evenly, creating a strong foundation for the coming flowering weeks. 🌿✨ Only a very light defoliation was performed. ✂️ I removed a few of the lowest leaves along with several fan leaves that were shading developing shoots underneath the canopy. This opened up airflow and allowed more light to reach the future bud sites without stressing the plant unnecessarily. 🍃 The slight discoloration on some of the older leaves is still a leftover from the nutrient imbalance experienced during the previous week rather than a new issue. Encouragingly, all new growth is coming in healthy, vibrant and free of deficiencies, confirming that the plant has recovered well. 💪💚 Overall, this was another excellent week. 🌸 Candy Hustle continues stretching exactly as hoped, the canopy is becoming increasingly even, and the SCROG is filling nicely. With the first flower sites now developing across every branch, the coming weeks should shift the focus from stretch to bud production. 🚀🔥 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 28°C 💧 Humidity: 60% 💡 Light: 50% (~800 PPFD) 🌸 Stage: Flower Week 2 Water & Nutrients 💧 RO Water + CalMag 🌱 1× Orgatrex 1× Green House Bio Enhancer Training 🕸️ Continued SCROG training and daily branch tucking ✂️ Light defoliation (lower leaves and leaves shading developing shoots) 🌿 Canopy becoming increasingly even across the net

Woche 9 Mal gespannt wie weit sie noch nach oben will. Licht wurde entsprechend angepasst Blütenspitzen auf knapp 900 ppfd, im Zentrum 820ppfd. Müssen nun aufpassen, sobald die Spitzen heller werden, wird die Beleuchtung etwas reduziert um Ausbleichen und Foxtailing zu vermeiden.

She’s getting fat! Smells berry and gassy , gonna def be some good smoke. Gonna go 65 days I think 🍓🌲💨⛽️🤟🏻

Bumped the feeding up and still feeding pretty much everyday. Feeding now until there is about 20% runoff. Also started LST this week honestly could have probably been started a week earlier.

Day 1-12/12/21 seeds placed in glass of water for 24hours! Day 2-13/12/21 seeds are placed on paper towel!! Day 4-15/12/21 seeds are in soil!!! Day 6-17/12/21 seeds have popped out soil!!!

Embarking on another exciting journey with Hella Jelly – JELLY RANCHER strain by Humboldt Seed Company, we have imporved our cultivation conditions to optimize results for these keeper phenotypes. In this run, we are growing Pheno #5, #8, #7, and #1. Currently, we are five weeks into the vegetative stage, and our plants are thriving.Previously, they were somewhat root-bound due to their prior location, but we have transplanted them into 10L pots. All our plants have undergone meticulous topping and training, and we are now leaving them to flourish. We have a scrog the net which is being installed in the next few days, and we will feed the new growth through the scrog untill the screen is filled. Speaking of lighting, our setup currently features a 450W full-spectrum quantum board, operating at maximum capacity and strategically positioned to maintain favorable temperatures. Notably, we've introduced UV bulbs into the equation (2 x 26W UVB bulbs). Initially, we'll expose the plants to 30 minutes of UV light twice daily, gradually extending the duration to 4-6 hours daily as we enter the flowering phase. For the flowering stage, we'll make the switch from the 450W Quantomn board to the Spyder 2p 650W. In preparation for the plants daily fertigation needs, we've installed a drip-feed system, which will come into play as soon as the plants begin to show signs of drying up daily. Our target date for inaiting the flowering stage is set for the 1st of October. We are genuinely optimistic about the outcome of this run, so please stay tuned for regular updates!

Almost half done flowering. Shes fully recovered from defoliation. She’s starting to smell pretty darn nice too! The stretch is completed. NOw we wait.

WELL LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!! My beautiful KOSHER KUSH #1 is already being flushed and will be chopped this weekend!! All these amazing colors are just starting to devour the plants with yellows purples and oranges inching closer and closer to harvest!! I will only be growing TOP SHELF FLOWER for my local dispensary after they reached out to me and pre ordered all of it!! I’m using some flawless finish on a couple of the feedings for flush and the other plants are still on a steady dose of flora bloom/ micro , terpinator , and cha Ching .. after a couple more feedings I’ll start flushing the rest of the girls and making sure no more nutrients is left in those pretty buds!! Till next week guys!!
