These ladies are doing quite well and we have had no issues to mention for the week. They are all happy, healthy and strong. Kabul is the tallest of the three, White Widow is not far behind and the White Russian is a stout plant with a lot going on. So far they have been untouched and we do not have plans of manipulation for them, nature shall take her course.

Another week down! Training finished and the net installed will take from here... Trying to find the balance between the high temps outside and high humidity inside the tent.

Unfortunately one of the light bulb slide down and burned plant:( after the burn i had to remove 2 leafs as shown in video.

Weather here is still fantastic, hot days, partially cloudy, cooler nights. Long term forecast are excellent till the end of September, probably till mid October. No news to report, I'm just waiting for buds swelling, these are the slowest days of my life. I've got pheno #1, tall plant with short and dense buds, fast blossoming, good leaf/buds ratio, great resin production. The plant is gorgeous, all concentrated on the top, big, rough and fat buds. It is evident from the physiognomy typically indica that she is a rustic, wild plant and not an indoor doll. Flushing started, last feed Thursday 17th. Very strangely rust fungus infection has attacked only to fan leaves and hasn't hurt flowering, till now. She will be a generous yelder... and maybe she will cropped together with her sister Royal Gorilla in 7/10 days. Stay safe Bros

Things starting to smell, the buds are developing pretty good, hopefully they will put on some weight. I’m watering them every 3 days 1L each, only water and Calmag, ph 6.3

Had a small issue this week where temp dropped a bit, I was on vacation for a few days and a window got left open to the room the tent is in. The room got down to 62f with the lights on. lights off temp wasn't much cooler. I noticed some canoeing on leaves near the center of the room, I am hoping this was just caused by the temperature stress that happened by the sudden drop. I fixed the temp and issue and it should be back to normal. Trichome's look great under microscope. Getting tightly packed and very cloudy, very little amber color at this point. Cheese #1 Has swelled up quite a bit over the last 5 days, The buds on it are noticeably larger than the ones on Cheese #2 I have moved the led light to cast more on cheese #2 in hopes to get the buds on it to catch up to #1 Still dealing with small calcium deficiencies, I will do a light flush this week of 1/2 strength nutrients and Cal at 6.5 Mid Weekupdate: Flushed plants with 1/3rd nutrient dose and full strength cal mag. Adjusted ph. to 6.5 to allow for better uptake of calcium. The calcium issue isnt bad just some small spotting but I am trying to get ahead of it as there is supposed to be 4 weeks left on the strain. The buds have started to tighten and get more dense. Hairs are about 40% red, some are receding into the bud. Smells like citrus.

Another beautiful black cherry punch 🍒 👊 exact same aroma, very sweet and fruity like strawberries amd cherries 🍒 🍓, the nuggets are sticky full of very terpy resin. Just a pleasure to work with her. Can't wait to smoke her.

Day 31: 2L (PH6.3) with 1ml/L PK13-14 She's definitely well on her way to stretch, and some of the bud sites are already showing signs of consolidation and an increase of mass, not so much as to call it stacking or bulking, but a great early flower nonetheless. To aid with bud forming, I've started mixing in some flower nutes. I'm starting at half dose and will probably follow up with a regular watering later this week. Additionally, after taking the pictures, I removed the upper fan leaves of the main cola and the next highest too since it was outpacing the others. I'm trying to not agitate her too much to prevent stunting. Since she's grown so much, the main cola was receiving 900 PPFD, and the lowest canopy budsite - in the front on the pictures - was receiving about 450 PPFD. Hence, I raised the light up to 30cm above the main cola. I haven't remeasured the PPFD afterwards. Day 34: 2L (6.5PH) + 0.5mL/L CalMag Day 36: 2L (6.3PH) Discovered two her companion plants fostering an army of spider mites so I removed all of the companion plants. The citrus had to move out of the tent for a more natural day night cycle anyway, so that one will reside on the window sill for a few days. The affected pepper plants have received spider mite treatment and are currently outside until they recover. I'll have to keep an eye out for any webbing on the Northern Light, although I think that the infestation wasn't too bad. Additionally, today was the planned defoliation day so I lollipopped her. Watering is a lot easier now and I hope the lollipop will not be detrimental to her overall yield - it hurt when I removed some branches I'd otherwise keep. And that about sums up week 4, this week was all about the stretch and the lollipop. She received her first flower nutes and immediately told me she did not need them. She became a bit thirstier and is well on her way to become the biggest yielder I've grown!

Start of week 3, the three survivors are doing great! I did happen to find some algae growing on top of one of the rockwool cubes. (This was my fault for not fully covering the tops of them with hydroton to block out light.) As an attempted fix, I cut some square pieces of black cloth that I laid of the top of the cubes to block out the light completely. Hoping removing their light source, the algae will die off and discourage any further growth. If it gets any worse I’ll try using a hydrogen peroxide solution. Day 17, the three ladies are looking nice. Starting to see some nice healthy roots populate inside the buckets. I went ahead and upped their nutrients today. We will see how they are doing in the morning. -FloraFlex - 1.5g/gal of each V1 and V2. -Advanced Nutrients - 1/2 strength MGB and hobbyist additives. **Algae update: seems like using the black cloth to block out all the light has killed off that algae growth and I don’t see anymore so it’s working!** Day 18, I thought one of my plants had root rot. Which was weird for it to happen that fast in less than 24 hours since changing the res. Come to find out it’s just nutrient stain from the Advanced Nutrients, so thank god. #1 and #2 which are growing with FloraFlex got FIMmed today. I’ve topped plants before but never FIM. Not sure if I did it right, but that’s the fun in all this, is experimenting to see what works. Day 20, #1 and #2 are responding well after being FIMmed couple days ago. I decided to FIM #3 as well. I also decided to leave the 4th one out of this diary from here on out since she’s behind. We will stick with the original three that survived from the start. So far I’m really loving their bushy appearance and thick leaves. Their roots are coming out super nice as well! Pretty soon these babies are going to just take off!

3/20/2023 - Day 22 Flower: So far the plants look like they handled the big defoliation just fine. Nice and healthy and they are all preying. Seeing the first signs of some tricomes. 3/22/2023 - Day 24 Flower: watered 4 gallons of water at at a 6.6 ph mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja as a wetting agent, Rootwise Enzyme Elixer, and Bio-Phos, BuildASoil Big 6, BuildABloom, Coconut Powder, Pure Protein Dry, Fermented Comfrey and Fermented Peach. Not much to report. Plan to keep the plants on 12/12 for one more week, then drop to 11 hours on and 13 hours off for the final weeks of flower. 3/26/2023: watered 4 gallons mixed with ThermX-70, BuildABloom, Rootwise Bio-Catalyst, coconut powder, and Yah-Whey Thrive. Went lighter on the nutrients today. Figured I've gone heavy enough for a while, so a lighter feeding couldn't hurt. Overall, the frost is coming on and the flowers are starting to add some weight. Other than the leaf curl issue from a couple weeks ago, everything else continues to go smoothly.

The buds are starting to form. The smell is strong when I open the cabinet, but with the filter, it doesn't smell. I corrected the deficiencies I had correctly. I defoliated a bit to allow good light penetration. I'll let you judge how they look now. I did a week of stretching, lowering the light by 1 hour each day.

Blütewoche 5 läuft ohne Probleme. Die Buds werden schnell schwerer. Muss mir wahrscheinlich bald Gedanken machen sie zu stützen.

one thing i liked was it started to get a little purple but that didnt really come through in the end. also i like the fast flowering. what i didnt like was that it truly was a bitch to grow, and if this were a bingo night i'd have crossed out nearly all the possible deficiencies and pest issues you can get. After being really happy with the purple punch genetics this one has been l bit of a disappointment really. i'd love to see more information strainspecifically to come with the package of seeds. like for instance if its a heavy feeder, if it likes the lights close or far away, and how long the flowereing period usually takes. Probably not growing this again anytime sooon though.

I really love this strain. It's very powerful and growing is quite simple. These are seeds that I've won on GD from Dinafem and I've to say thanks to both. Dinafem for the perfect seeds and GD where I've learned a lot about growing this lovely plant!
