Plants are getting too big for enough light coverage, so had to buy a second grow light. As noted before, the plant was getting out of hand and growing at many different heights making it difficult to set the optimum light distance. So, I went a little crazy and did some serious pruning (yes, during flowing, I know). Also trimmed off a number of fan leaves that were either beginning to yellow or were otherwise blocking valuable light from the many of the smaller buds. Fortunately my plants are very resilient and are finally at mostly equal heights now. Hindsight 20/20: I now have a better idea of how to route my plants using the ScrOG method. I found a well written blog that answered all the questions I had that other article didn't. Bottom line: Instead of allowing the main branches to grow through the netting and re-route the offshoots, I've found it's better to keep the main branches under the netting and allow the off-shoots to grow through instead. Think of it as the plant growing sideways.

This girl got delayed in flowering due to the neighbors outdoor lights. Didn't start flowering and it was coming to the end of September (time for early harvest for some outdoor varieties), so I was worried. Almost quit on her all together since she was not kicking into flowering. As a last ditch effort to stress into flowering I cut about half of the branches off. That worked and she finally kicking in and started flowering as September ended. She slowly got into flowering and the developing flowers looked nice. I used Bloom booster and Sweet and sticky to enhance flavor and flower. Curious to see how the end flower comes out. Colas didn't get super fat but looks quality. Should get around 2.5 ounces Dry I would guess. For an outdoor plant that is not that good but all things considered I am happy! I am glad I found this site so I can more accurately log my grows, and I will only be growing seeds from seed banks now so I will have the legit strain and information beforehand. Will update this harvest full when initial hanging is done in 10 days and I jar it all up. Cheers and here is the next harvest 😎

This plant just keeps Growing! I took some of the work off the bottom, not much light was getting there because she is so tall!!! Lots of bud sites but they are small, reminding me of my first try. She is drying out quicker now, so it is like every other day getting fed. Hope her buds get bigger!

So... I may have got baked and had one of those.... "I know what will be a good idea.!" I give you Frankenstoned early Lst lol I know I am a novice and have no right to be messing with things that already exist, and the weighted lst has probably been done many times already but I was having fun, I had a silly stoned idea, and just for shits n giggles, I made it happen, and for me this growing thing has to be fun right? Humour aside, it actually seems to work lol. I find I am a little heavy handed and a bit clumsy trying to tie things down. I recently accidentally snapped one of my criticals branches off so my little system allows me to just lift the wires up and tuck it under at strategic points.. It is quite early to be training I guess but the wire gently pushes down on the stem.. It looks heavy handed but it is actually quite gentle... So let's see if it works or not.. I am only trying it on this 1 subject.. I am expecting for the Mazar to pull up on the weights as it fattens up but I have allowed space on the bolts to add more weight.. Other than this revelation (or massive cock up) lol. The Mazar has been struggling in the heat a bit but surviving.. Let me know your thoughts, happy growing lovely people

D61 (21/01/2021): First day for week 5 of flowering. It's incredible how the buds are forming and getting bigger. It easily doubled (if not more) in size in the last 7 days. Since beginning of bloom, I normally gave water every other days. I make sure the soil is dry and the pots feel light when I lift them before giving any water. But it's not ideal cause it means that the plant drank all the water at his disposal and maybe it missed some. I will try a different watering schedule by giving water every 36 hours instead of every 48 hours. I will still make sure the soil his not wet and the pot not heavy (soil full of water) when I will give water. At this stage, they need a lot of nutrients to produce big buds. I will give nutrients every other feeding and only Max Minerals the others. Today I gave 1/2 of the recommended dose of Max Minerals. - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6.3 , 329PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.9 and 1090PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 940PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 50% light ON ; 48-49% light OFF D62 (22/01/2021): Nothing special for today. The lamps are now at 12 inches from higher colas. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-21C light OFF - no water - RH: 50-52% light ON ; 48-52% light OFF D63 (23/01/2021): I gave full dose of Max Minerals and Max Bud and 1/2 of Max Grow. All base on mid late flower recommended dose. Relative humidity % was difficult to maintain low last night. It is normal since I give water more often. I removed leaves to help reduce humidity. Both look and smell sooooo good! 😋 - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6 , 940PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.7 and 1270PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.7 and 1100PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 50% light ON ; 55% light OFF D64 (24/01/2021): I gave half dose of Max Minerals. - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6.4 , 360PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.9 and 950PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 1030PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 50% light ON ; 45-47% light OFF D65 (25/01/2021): I'm at day 65 and base on the website I bough the seeds, they are close to harvest. They say 65-75 day from seed. My girls are not ready. I guess maybe 2 more weeks. The trichomes are all cloudy for Glue Gelato and 90% cloudy 10% clear for Banana Kush. I think it is time to start flushing. I will only give tap water at proper PH for the next 10-14 days and keep looking at trichomes. I consider also reducing air temperature and humidity for the rest of the grow. We are getting close! 😍😎 - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D66 (26/01/2021): I decided not flushing today. I gave only full dose of Max Bud. Glue Gelato is getting very frosty! She has approximately 50% white pistils and 50% brown pistils but she keep growing new pistils. Banana Kush is less frosty but thicker and look a bit behind in maturity compared with Glue Gelato. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6 , 440PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.8 and 930PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.8 and 1220PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 48% light ON ; 47-50% light OFF D67 (27/01/2021): The electric breaker where all the equipment of my tent is plug tripped. It took me around 20 min to notice it. During that time the relative humidity % went up around 75%. I don't think it will cause anything bad but I wanted to document it. I started the flush today by giving tap water at proper PH. The tap water of my city is around 130-140 PPM. I always let it sit in a bucket for 24h. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-21C light OFF - water: PH6, 135PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.9 and 625PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 725PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 48% light ON ; 52-55% light OFF

Week 9 of Flower and the TKO is just about ripe at 63 days of flower today (5/12). I've never had to time a DWC bucket flush before, so going purely on instinct. Specifically, Trichomes are mostly milky with amber development. I am hoping a 3-5 day flush with ph'd RO water will bring out any potential color AND that Trichomes will continue to ripen bringing amber to about 15-20%. As for the week in review, I'd say pretty uneventful, which is good. Continued daily water and ppm level drops with stable ph range readings - zero wild swings. She's kicking up some incredibly strong sweet gassy smell mixed with that typical Kush aroma. She's frosty with multiple thick medium-to-large ball shaped colas. Looking forward to completing the DWC bucket flush and harvesting the girl. Next couple of posts (i.e., Harvest & Cure) will end this TKO spring 23 run. Have more of these beans from Ganja Farmer Seeds, so looking forward to running her back in the future.

No more yellow leaves spreading problem, it was the lack of nutrients for sure ! Thanks for those who helped me ! :) Something to consider for my next grow: I decided to grow 10 plants to get a chance to have a decent harvest as it is my first time but it takes too much space, I barely have room to move myself inside the box and the plants have less light. I also think it is the reason it's too hot inside the box, when the plants were small and the outside temperatures the same as today, it was was less hot. Next time, I'll grow like 5 or 6 but making them bushy as hell !!

9/2/25 Overall I'm delighted with these. 17 weeks grows for me are few & far between. These 2 phenos had 7 weeks in 2L pots. And were put into a 20L pot of coco/pebbles and gives 10-14 days to recover and were flipped. I purposely grew them this shape as I had to make sure I kept them apart if hit with WPM or anything like that. As grows these long, buds this dense. And running a tent with a bunch of mixed grows from done to days into the start of the 12-12 flip. I would have liked to run for another week on a 100w light and high doses of UV but because of such a mixed bag of grows in my tents. Running reds/uv just wasn't even attempted. 10/2 She smells absolutely amazing, buds are super big, sticky & very smelly. They're still mainly hard for the moment. And leaves not even limp. So, I removed the big fan leaves to allow air to move around better. They're hanging behind my 100cm2 tent kept out of UV rays.

First day of flower!! Already beginning to see pre flowers before the flip but too small for any real identification. Been using kombucha and humic acid to lower pH without adding nutrients and it's been working. Water schedule has been about once ever 3 days. Each plant takes about .1 gal of water. Need about 2.5 gal to water all 22 plants. Nutrients are still in the 2:1:2 ratio for npk. Adding liquid food every other feeding with recharge in 1/3 recommended dose... The HP3 is looking very beastly. Fat indica leaves. Thick stems. Quick growth. Stem rubs reveal spicy hash flavors. Similar to black pepper. Excited to see how the flowers turn out The rainbow belts has been very easy. They need a lot of water so it's been hard staying ontop of that. Also the 1 gal fabric bag I'm using is much taller than the others so it's hard to water it fully. Ant looks good otherwise. ZB2 is a floppy sativa leaning plant. Kinda spindly. Definitely needs better support and training than I am giving for this pheno hunt. Gonna need a stake to support these for sure. Very thin stems. Short and stocky plants that didn't stretch much even with less than optimal light at the beginning. Maybe perfect candidate for cannbonsai

Day 35 from seed. I drained the res and gave everything a good clean as im about half way through this grow now. Were in the preflower stage now so the nutrients are a transition feed also gave them a light defoliation.

OMG growing Cosmos F1 from Royal Queen Seeds has been an otherworldly experience! I mean, have you ever seen a plant with a Whorled phyllotaxy mutation? It's like the angels themselves came down and blessed my garden. The Whorled phyllotaxy mutation of Cosmos F1 from Royal Queen Seeds actually produces three branches per node, resulting in more opportunities for growth and ultimately, higher yields. This unique growth pattern is truly a marvel to behold, and it's amazing to see how the three branches develop into full-fledged colas. With more branches comes more bud sites, which means more potential for trichome production and overall cannabinoid content. In fact, my Cosmos F1 is currently in week three of flowering, and I'm already blown away by how much resin she's producing. It's like she's a CBD factory or something! But seriously, growing a CBD strain has been a game changer for me. The benefits of CBD are well documented, and being able to grow my own supply has been a dream come true. Plus, the fact that she's from Royal Queen Seeds means I know I'm getting a quality strain that's been bred to perfection. All in all, growing a strain with the World phyllotaxy mutation has been an incredible experience, and I'm grateful to Royal Queen Seeds for providing such a unique and high-quality strain. I'm just thrilled with my first experience growing Cosmos F1. She's surpassed all my expectations and has me feeling like I'm floating among the stars. So here's to the cosmos, the angels, and all the beautiful buds that are yet to come!

Smoke is amazing. Barely needs a cure to even taste good. I’m sure a nice cure would bring the sweet caramel flavor out as there is a hint of it in the smoke. But I’m low on weed so this would have to do.

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well and safe! I've numbered the photos by date to see the progress a little better, I have both my Spider Farmer and now I've the special queen photo period under its own light, now a mars hydro given to me by a friend :) Decided to get the scrog net up last night, first time using one so I'm looking forward to see how I get on. I've decided to come away from biobizz and move across to the remo range so I just gave the plants two litres of water on Monday. They've dried out rightly. I have an air line going into the bucket and making a tea! I can see slight frost on some of the leaves and the stems which is cool. All suggestions/tips welcome! Stay Frosty Bazza ✌️🏼

F11, riego con EC 2.2 y pH 6.3, se cambió la luz de 1 LED de 480w a 3 LEDs de 240w, sumando un total de 720w, a una distancia de 40cm de las plantas y una intensidad de 80%, estamos en la semana 2 de floración, esperaré hasta la semana 3 para hacer una gran y última defoliación, Lollipop y acompañado de instalar una pequeña estructura de tutores. F16, gran defoliación y armado de la estructura de tutores, se puede ver cómo la luz pasa de manera uniforme hasta el fondo de los maceteros, antes de la defoliación el fondo del macetero se veía con sombra, oscuro. Se puede apreciar que aunque estamos iniciando la tercera semana de floración, ya hay presencia de tricomas. Las plantas se ven muy saludables.
