Week 5! She's stretching wild. We tried supercropping but she bounced right back up. Then we tried supercropping and holding her down with a trellis net, but she bounced up again. In any case, she really wants to grow and we're currently counting about 12 branches with decent light exposure and bud sites - and about 20 budsites in total. We're keeping all bud sites - even the minor ones - and defoliation is only performed on those leaves that cannot be tucked away. Light cycle is 18/6 and PPFD varies between 450 - 1100. The growing light had to be raised twice this week. While the PLAGRON directions suggest adding Green Sensation starting in week 4 of bloom, we're ignoring those instructions and we'll add it right away. Reason being that those instructions probably reference photo periods. As for the nutritional density, she's holding up quite well so we're providing a higher dose than suggested until she starts showing signs of deficiency (nutrient lockout). Furthermore, the recommended PLAGRON feeding schedule does not specifically mention Power Buds, but their additional information mentioned it to be complimentary and compatible with Green Sensation.

Apricot Auto FastBuds This week I had to increase watering on Apricot #1 4.5 liters and #2 3 liters. Since NYC Diesel leaves look so dark green with some clawing and all the gals in the tent are receiving the same nutrients as NYC Diesel, I determined I ‘ve overfertilized. The apricots don’t show dark leaves but to be cautious I gave them Calmag the first time and the second flush 1 gallon PH 6.15 water. I defoliated some large fans that were damaged by low cal mag. Only one of the Apricot is showing colors as Fastbuds describes. Purples in the buds with orange pistils. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Another solid week! I've been watering every other day and feeding once per week. I added Cal-Mag this week as I noticed some deficiencies on some fan leaves (little brown spots in middle of the leaf). I defoliated Alana really heavy today! She needed to be opened up for sure! I hope she responds well!! I also defoliated Anna a little as well. Anna grew 6 inches this week and is 26 inches tall!! Alana grew 5 inches and is 21 inches tall!! Otherwise, things are going well... they stink something fierce!! WOW!! I turned the T6 up a level.... Currently running at 6 out of 10! Cheers!!

The pineapple auto flower was germinated at the same time as the blueberry. It took some time to catch up, I'm not sure what I did wrong but it's just now starting to show signs of future success. I had a couple other auto strains that all failed to sprout due to my negligence. Update on those, my last seeds seem to have taken when I opten to put them in my outdoor hydro setup for germination. The conditions must be better with the uv from the sun preventing over dampening from being a molds paradise. I don't have the time to watch these all day so this was my best shot. I noticed some yellowing. Turns out my ph was off because I never calibrated my ph sensor. Fixed everything 10-Jul, hopefully she comes back to vitality soon or the yellow is just light green from the new leaves.. I diluted the nutrient solution down today but only to 1000 from being up to 1200. If nothing changes in a few days I will replace half the current reservoir supply with new ph adjusted water. I don't dechlorinate with a filter but I bubble the water for a day and hit it with uv just for good measure before adding new water. Update, after researching, it appears this is iron deficiency. Hopefully correcting the ph is enough to prevent the yellowing from continuing. Fingers crossed. Else I need a supplement. Update July 11, after calibrating my ph monitor and getting back in acceptable range yesterday [I have been shooting for 6.0 or just below] the leaves are becoming more dark green in color and the yellowish color is dissipating. You can see some of the lower leaves have some sort of burn. I am not sure if it is heat damage or caused by ph imbalance but I don't see this on the newer growth.

March 3rd, 2019. The plants are 28 days old today. Growing well. They are well in early flower now. Began LST and did just a small amount of defoliating. They had Azos mixed with Mykos on day 26, will probably feed tomorrow depending on moisture, if not the next day for sure. They just look great. March 8th, 2019 - 33 days old. Was a big grow week. Both plants doing great. They had a full feeding Tuesday and today they got a good solid flushing. They are starting to smell pretty good. If you look closely at the cola shot, you can just see Trichomes starting to form. Lord knows what they will look like in 4 weeks. About 16 to 17 inches tall, really heavy branches, leaves look great, nice beautiful green.

Great week inside this tent. The girl got her topping and then recovered over the week. There were already some good side branching and now they are being trained even more. Flipping to flower now. Lights at 40% power. Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

I did an extended vegetation on these girls and I topped them a couple of times, to which they responded well. It is day 127 (18 weeks total), but only end of Week four of flowering. They are looking beautiful and very nice size, considering they are only about half way through flowering.

Again, such an amazing experience!!!!! I love this smoke for night, it's definitely helped my insomnia! The taste is out of this world! I pick up more Mazar than the blueberry or thai.

Muy contento para ser el primer cultivo, se que los resultados se pueden mejorar mucho, pero incluso con todos los problemas que han sufrido las plantas, al final he obtenido unos resultados con los que estoy muy satisfecho.

Primeira semana de flush, varias folhas estão começando a mudar de cor, vou continuar só com água …

7/13/25 - 7/16/25 Flipped the tent to flower as I got worried I might run out of space for another strain in the tent if I let them veg for longer. The clones have established themselves beautifuly. Now I am waiting for the first pistils. She is smelling creamy and sweet drinking a ton and I am struggling to keep up with defoliating. 7/17/25 - 7/19/25 All going well, taking up water and nutes like a champ. Glad I took some cuttings for a mother. The outdoor "mother" I took the cuttings for the dwc is also going crazy, cant be mad about a thing for now.

Only a few times here just to water them so nothing Spezial

it's only the beginning on week 6 and are in flower stage, tree looks good loving her feed, loving her space just loving life. Today I decided to put her outside in the sun such a beautiful Sunday it was, I'll keep this updated with more pics by Saturday on the closing of week 6 .

Repotted into 3 gallon this week.

Wonderful aroma in the tent. I do a little stress due to low temperatures at night. I took a small sample :D, everything is as it should.The trichomes are just milky, what will be scary at the finish line...

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!
