D92. At the start of week eight of flower, the girls are simply doing their thing and slowly bulking up. I gave each girl 1.25 liters of water @ pH 6.6. ------------------------------ D93. I brewed compost tea (worm castings, rock dust, kelp meal, biochar, oatmeal) and gave each girl 2.5 liters @ pH 6.6. ------------------------------ D95. Each girl got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.6 with FFJ, humic acid, and a teaspoon of Epsom salt. ------------------------------ D98. We're at the end of week eight of flower, and we're heading toward the final stretch. I guess another two to four weeks until harvest. Today, each girl got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.7. ------------------------------

Day 42 Things startinmg to look up. I had to put the trellis up and bend over the NYC Sour D, trhe cola was in the lights -bubblegum is getting taller i need it to do some stretching so i can match the light. -Growdots, recharge, calmag and silica.

Super proud of these girls they are some strong growing autos! Critical kush is killing it. I'm hoping they wait 4-5 weeks before flowering but not my call. Gave them about a quarter cup of veg nutes they havnt seemed to respond negatively

21.07.2025 Defoliation, Lollypopping, and LST/HST.

Strawberry gorilla from fastbuds buds has a great gorilla smell with a strong fruit smell that’s just like strawberries no lie. The plant doesn’t grow super tall but it does stack colas really nice. I didn’t grow the plant out as big as possible but it has big colas as long as half my are and smaller nugs all over that were the size of a fist. A great producer. Buds are spongey perfect for drying easily.

Day 71 - Starting week 11 today and gave her a feeding of nutes. She was pretty thirsty and took almost 2 full gallons of water. I did remove a few more fan leaves today and did check the pH runoff and came down a little bit, sitting right at 7.0. I’m thinking she’s down to the last couple weeks so might give her one more feeding of nutes then flush her out and just give water till the end. Day 72 - She’s still fattening up more each day and enough that I can notice the difference every time I look at her. I did notice a few leaves towards the top that are starting to fade to an off color so hopefully she’ll hold out and continue to fatten until harvest but I’ll keep an eye on her. Day 73 - Nothing new to report today, just pulled her out to tuck some leaves and check the trichs. Still quite a bit of clear but some milky in there. Most of the pistils are starting to turn orangish/red. She might be getting down to the last two weeks or so but I’ll let the trichs tell me when she’s ready. Definitely won’t be giving her anymore nutrients, just straight water from here on out. Day 74 - Nothing new again today, she’s looking and smelling great. I think two weeks tops left. Pistils are almost all shriveled up and an orangish/red color and mostly milky but still a few clear in there. She’ll be ready for some water tomorrow. Day 75 - Checking the trichs today, she’s actually just about ready to harvest. I gave her a good watering of plain water today and the PPM is down to about 700 right now. I’ll give her a few days to dry out then I will flush her with foxfarm’s Sledgehammer and wait for her to tell me she’s ready.

4/1/25 Welcome to another week and Thank you to @Zamnesia and @Plagron for the genetics and the chance to participate in the contest. These are beautifully tall plants. I have had to spray with lost coast plant therapy and some Safer brand insecticidal soap because of creepy crawlies such as mites of some sort. 4/7/25 i shoved everysingle plant into my main tent. it has a humidifier and controls and all the goodies. the plants that have been struggling were in a separate tent without a humidifier or even an exhaust fan. and i think that may have had something to do with the issues. im really hoping that it isnt something that can spread to other plants because ive shoved 5 - 5 gallon pots in 2.7x2.7 grow tent. but hoping the environment is more friendly for them during the last half of The pistils have changed colors because of the spray but everything else is looking nicely. Super tall and super thin leaved plants but the buds are very tight and i imagine will be fairly dense. some of the plants have decent cola stacking of maybe 6+ nodes Today i top dress with 3tsp of Bloom, 1Tsp of Microbe Charge and 1Tsp of Bloom Booster. 4/6/25 R3 is producing some giant buds. The lower buds are twice as big as some of runtz plants. They all smell super fruity

Ladies are on beast mode! Friday they got 4 cups of 4-4-4 Gaia green and 8gal of compost tea. I did some super cropping as there getting pretty tall and I don’t want them over the fence and at this rate there going to be! Hopefully if everything goes as planned I’ll have the boards or at least some to put up the next time I come home. We’re now into the 10 foot in diameter cages, a few branches started poking thru just the other day. These girls are going to be bigger then last year that’s for sure there already way bigger. We’ll see what next week looks like after some hst thanks for stoppin in.

Finally my QB 240W come and it's incredible bright. i flip it to 12/12 this week to make sure the small tent 90 x 90 x 180 not blowing up. after 4 day i witness good stretch from the tree and the temp also decrease to 30 celcius average. I'm happy with my grow so far hope to get 100 gram out of this harvest.

==UPDATE 23 AUGUST – PREPARING WEEK 2== ➜ Growth is starting to pick up a bit now that I lowered the light from 60 cm → 50 cm → 45 cm. ➜ Leaves developed noticeably in just one day. ➜ Height increased by 1 cm in a day, from 6 cm → 7 cm. ➜ Tomorrow I’ll start feeding with very low nutrients, around 200–210 ppm, just ¼ of the recommended dose. ➜ Overall, everything looks good. Only minor temp fluctuations, sometimes hitting 29.5°C because I couldn’t run the AC, but windows are fully open. ➜ Plant seems a bit small for week 2, but many growers say this is completely normal. Could be due to:   • Low light intensity early on   • Slight stress from handling and lighting schedule adjustments (first day out of light, then 8h → 15h → 16h/day from day 3 onward) ➜ No major issues; plant is healthy and progressing well.

02.11.'24 After 5 days of drying, this little girl who was a little bigger than a meter gave 950 grams and a little bit of popcorn...this picking was 870 and a little bit of popcorn, and 4-5 weeks ago during a storm, one branch broke, which yielded about 100, but let's say 80 for sure, a total of 950 grams of beautiful, huge, potent buds

Beginning my flush this week. Starting to see amber trichomes here and there

Day 128. It took me almost 48 hours with two short naps to sort all 8 girls. Result not bad, think easy will brake 1g/W, I have 720 setup, but one light is limping, so it's closer to 600. Think harvest will be in 900 area. It's 90 W per plant only and I think one girl will go above 150 easy ! I doubt I will post Tangies weight in statistics, don't want to screw that strain, she could be way way WAY bigger !!! Happy Growing !!!

- DAY 36 (09/07) In recent days I cut the two older pairs of infected leaves. The day after the previous feeding with Micro-Grow-Bloom, light rust-colored spots appeared on some old leaves, especially at the edges. I will show you better in the following days. At the moment they seem to be few. Everything that I will do relevant in the days of this week I will update it here in Week Comment. I am open to advice, I would be happy if you comment with what you would do in my place. - DAY 41 (14/07) TOPPING & FEEDING I topped the tip as in the photo. After that, I irrigated 1.5 liter of water with: - 0.75ml Micro - 0.75ml Grow - 0.75ml Bloom (Always with some lemon juice, not much, I want to trust the PH perfect technology adopted by the manufacturer) Solution PH: range 6.7/7.0 In the same evening I sprayed the usual mix of neem oil. (neem oil, water, potassium soap and lemon juice) Day/night air temperature on average for this week: Day 30-32 °C. Night 20-22 °C.

Hey everyone 😃. This week she has done great 👍. It was done again on all the drifted topping and sprayed one last time with neem oil so that the last trips are finally gone 😁. We haven't had any pests for so many years and all of a sudden we have such little shit parts 😅. This week it was poured twice with 1.2 l of water. GHSC enhancer was added during a pouring (1 g per l) The tent was cleaned every day this week and the plants were checked for health. The humidifier is filled once a day. Next week I will decide how I will continue the training because I have space again in the flower tent 😀. Until then, I wish you and your families a good start into the new year 2021 🙏🏻.

The plants are really starting to frost up, definitely starting to smell. I’ve got my carbon filter running to keep the house from wreaking.
