Decided to let it grow for one more week before flowering

Elsa my Community Grow is in her stretch and what she do is not from these world… in this short time show grow up to 80 cm… wow … never see that , that a Cannabis plant Grow 50 cm in this time… Hopefully she finished next week, because my grow box is only 180 cm high 😇🤭

Week 7 of flower. Ro water Calmag 5 ml per 10l A+b 30 ml per 10l Ult pk 25 ml per 10l Ph 6 Light 100% Last week before I start flush. They are putting on size nice and have a warm baked smell to them.

26/11/21: All six are well into flower now - large buds are forming in the colas and white trichomes are showing all around the leaves creating those sugar leaves. I am more or less letting them do their thing now. All are strong and healthy and showing great signs of a good yield for the six. No more growth - now just focussing on bud production.

Bud wet weight : 168,1g of trimmed medium to big sized buds 25,4g of tiny tiny buds/larfs = 193.5 grams of trimmed wet buds. Details on genetics and smoke report above. This, as my first grow, is way more than I ever expected it to be. I haven´t had that much fun and enthusiasm in a very very long time. I can´t even explain the feeling it is to harvest your own cannabis, but I know most of you know what I´m talking about haha. It was really nice to practice LST, even tho it was SO HARD, ´cause I didn´t had barely any space to work since I used a hard pot and did not fill nearly half the size of it and the walls of the pot were really high. It was even difficult to water without dropping water on the lower buds. I haven´t learnt much about defoliation tho, I feel I need to study a little more about the phases you should or should not do it. Also, I discovered thrips are a pain in the ass. I had 2 tough weeks dealing with thrips, but in the end it was alright. I don´t have any humidity control device, which I intend to buy for the next grows. Growdiaries was really helpful for me, it kept me motivated everyday (not that I wouldn´t have had it anyways), the Grow Questions are REALLY useful and all the community is awesome. Thanks to all people that helped me here on GD during this first grow! To conclude it: I am really happy and satisfied with how the grow turned out. They look incredible, it almost feels like I can´t believe it still. Peace. UPDATES: 07/10 : The buds are now dry and already in curing jars, one of them with a Boveda 58% humidity pack. The total grams of the dry buds are: 41.4g (medium to big sized buds) 4.1g (tiny buds) = 45.5 grams! I´m really happy with the results, I thought it would be around 30g so yeah, that´s a really good surprise! In 2 weeks I´ll be back to update the smoke report. Thanks so much for reading! Peace. 09/10 : I managed to fit everything in the same container with some space between them, so now every bud is with the Boveda pack. 14/10: It´s been a week and the smell improved, it still smells a little like hay/plant ( even tho it´s not too dry neither too wet ). 21/10: Now it´s been two weeks and even tho the smell isn´t anymore hay, it´s a lot herbal. I really think the aroma can get better, but the taste is already good enough for me. The smoke report has been done and in case I have something to add, I´ll report here. Thank you so much for reading! Peace.

Day 118 Mon PH 5.7 EC 0.6 DLI 12h PPFD Water 16-24c

*english version below* **HydroLab – Blüte Woche 1: Der Stretch entfesselt & der Teppich lebt** Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, dem einzigen Ort, an dem Pflanzen schneller wachsen als meine Stromrechnung. Die 12/12-Umstellung liegt nun offiziell sieben Tage zurück – und die Damen haben das Memo verstanden. Der Stretch? Vollgas. Der angekündigte „Kräuterteppich“? Er ist da. Und er rollt sich gerade selbst aus. 🌿🔥 Systemstatus: Wissenschaftlicher Wahnsinn in Zahlen EC: stabil auf 1.5 Wasser: Vollentsalzt, nur noch 0.05 EC – so sauber, dass es vermutlich als „Destillat Light“ durchgeht CalMag: jetzt Pflicht! Leitungswasser war nett, aber wir gehen jetzt pro pH: von 5.8 hochdriftend bis 6.2, dann korrigiere ich Klima: kalt draußen → warm im Labor dank Luftentfeuchter + 130W IR-Heizung (Nachtschicht-Modus) Operation „Wurzel-Schutzschild“ Die Netpots haben ein Upgrade bekommen: Alufolie-Abdeckung! Nicht hübsch, aber verhindert sicher, dass irgendwo Licht in die Root-Zone kommt. (Hydrolab-Regel Nr. 18: Wenn’s reflektiert, funktioniert’s. 🤓) Pflanzenverhalten: Unkontrollierte vertikale Energie Ich habe in dieser Woche nichts geschnitten und die Mädels einfach machen lassen. Ergebnis: 🔬 Hypothese: „Sie werden etwas wachsen.“ 🔬 Ergebnis: Sie sind komplett durchgedreht. Der Stretch ist massiv, die Tops schießen überall nach oben, die Mitte wird dichter, und die ersten Blütenansätze zeigen sich bereits in voller, flauschiger Pracht. Die Mykos arbeiten im Untergrund weiter wie ein italienischer Straßenbau-Trupp auf Koffein: die Wurzeln sind dick, cremefarben und gesund. Labor-Kommentar Manchmal muss ein Wissenschaftler lernen, loszulassen. Und manchmal heißt das: „Ich lass sie einfach eine Woche wild wachsen und schaue später, was weg muss.“ Genau diese Methode wenden wir hier an. Aktuell sieht alles brutal vital, extrem dicht und herrlich chaotisch aus – genau wie ein Sativa-Scrog aussehen muss, bevor der Dompteur eingreift. Ausblick Nächste Woche geht’s ans Feintuning im Netz, am Lollipop wird nachjustiert und Bud Blood sollte sein Zauberwerk tun, damit sich das Ganze bald in ein Meer aus weißen Härchen verwandelt. Bis dahin: Das HydroLab beobachtet, misst, lacht – und füttert. 🌱⚗️😄 _________________________________________________________ **HydroLab – Bloom Week 1: Stretch Protocol Activated** Welcome back to the HydroLab, where the plants grow faster than my ability to explain what’s going on, and where chaos is considered a valid research method. The flip to 12/12 was seven days ago — and the ladies took that as a personal challenge. The stretch? Immediate and aggressive. The “herbal carpet” I predicted last week? Fully deployed. 🌡️ System Diagnostics EC: holding steady at 1.5 Water: ultra-clean, 0.05 EC from the deionization unit CalMag: now part of the baseline (unlike with tap water) pH: adjusted to 5.8, drifting naturally up to 6.2 before correction Climate: cold nights outside → warm enough inside thanks to a 130W IR heater + dehumidifier tag-team 🛡️ Root Protection Protocol I covered the pot tops with aluminum foil — not pretty, but absolutely effective at blocking any stray light from entering the root zone. HydroLab Law #7: If it looks improvised but works perfectly, it’s not a bug — it’s a feature. 🌱 **Plant Behavior Report: Unrestricted Vertical Ambition** This week I didn’t cut anything… And the plants responded with: “Okay, we’ll take over now.” The stretch is in full swing, tops are pushing upward everywhere, and the first flower sites are forming beautifully. The canopy is dense, lively, and wild — exactly what a sativa-leaning scrog looks like right before it becomes a jungle. Roots? A fluffy, creamy, active masterpiece. The mycorrhiza is clearly having the time of its life. 🔬 Researcher’s Note Sometimes science requires intervention. Other times… science requires stepping back, folding your arms, and whispering: “Let’s see what happens if I just don’t touch anything this week.” This was one of those weeks. And honestly? The system handled it better than expected. 🔭 Next Week’s Outlook canopy refinement begins lollipopping adjustments Bud Blood should fully kick in floral development expected to accelerate Until then: The HydroLab observes. The HydroLab measures. The HydroLab feeds. And the HydroLab cackles quietly in the corner. 🌿⚗️😄

Still drinking a lot of water this week but getting close to finishing. I adjusted the light to turn of another 30 minutes sooner this week, to 11/13. I also cut back on feeding to only cal-mag that helps ph my water down. I did a little bit of cleanup on the bottom anything that the plant is done utilizing for mobile nutrients. Getting dense and frosty, the buds were starting to flop a little towards the end of the week. They really got thirsty the 3rd day after watering. I been letting it dry back slightly more each time. Struggling to keep humidity below 50-60 percent, So utilizing higher nighttime temps to help with taming it.

Good week. Careful on the nutrients, have some burn starting. Same nutrients dose as my other Autoflowers but doesn't react the same. Buds starting.

450 - PPFD

Week 2 for our Apricot from the fastbuds family All looks good and the buds are forming real quick, we continue for now with master root and master bloom, next week we start to add some more addictives Some plants had a little to much nutrients but we corrected the dosis and continue with a little less bloom nutrients! For the rest all good!!

WEEK 4: SHE HAS EXPLODED THIS WEEK! Heavy LST with some light defoliation done throughout the week. No notable deficiencies or toxicities. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FF Ocean Forest Soil Botanicare Cal-Mag: 4 ml/gal Botanicare Hydroguard: 2 ml/gal Added: Humboldt's Secret Golden Tree 1 ml/gal Reservoir ppm: 250 Reservoir pH: 6.3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes: At the start of this week I added Golden Tree supplement at half dose, and I'm happy with the results. I read some comments about it stinking up your grow room, it is NOT the case for me. I would definitely recommend it, my Pineapple seems to love it. She has sprouted a ton of new shoots this week which have been LST'd to create an even flat canopy (see pics). Through LST and defoliation, my goal is to create 7 or 8 large colas around the perimeter and a bunch of smaller ones in the center (see pics). Using garden ties i bend the main stem down to almost 90 degrees, exposing the lower bud sites to the light. As new bud sites grow, they also get tied down and some light defoliation is done, only removing what blocks the lower bud sites from the light. This means the leaves that face towards the center get clipped, everything else not blocking a bud site stays. She ALWAYS responded positively to the LST and defoliation. Never slowed her down (see time lapse above).

Big one got 4L last time and the other one 3L still. i think they want more fertilizer because i was a bit careful this time with it. thank god the temperatures are lower this week so i can maintain 26 degrees. buds thicken up good and i have spotted the first amber trichomes. ill still leave it for around 14 days.

Weekly update on these lovely ladies. They've improved a bunch since last week as I think they needed a boost of nutes. I added some grow nutes to add some nitrogen and I think it worked. The pistols on the Colas are very cool to look and see the the flowers starting to form. All in all Happy Growing.

My first experience of having fat nugs😆💚💯

Weened off the veg nutes completely. I'm pretty much done messing with the scrog from here as well. From here on it's monitoring the plant health until flush and that's it.

Gente,sono arrivato alla 6 settimana di fioritura,per fortuna sto riuscendo a debellare sto cazzo di ragnetto rosso...e tutti i fiorellini maschi che stavano spuntando...al momento sembra che non stiano più facendo sviluppare,ne nannars ne fiori completi di Maschio......il che è buonissimo 😋...spero riuscire a portare a termine bene la mia terapia, altrimenti mi ritroverò (ma di molto nellaCACCONA...MERDA!!!)..MA no! sono positivo e quasi sicuro che sarà buonissima 😋
