Week 5 started off a bit rough. Continuing to over nute the plant babies, I realised I should flush and step back a little. The flush helped a lot. I keep the plants outside on days where the weather was good, and put them back inside to maintain 20/4 light schedule. I defoliated a large fan leaves at the bottom of the plants, as well as any of the yellowing leaves. This, coupled with the flushing, really seemed to perk them up. I trained some more of the branches and tucked away fan leaves blocking bud sites. All 5 plants are flowering, with B#2 (the untopped one), leading the charge with a solid main cola. I'm surprised by how little they stretched, but perhaps that has something to do with me nuking them with fertiliser at a critical point. Eh.

Pheno number #1 is white and smells like sweet exo cheese, great smoke and effect too. The rest are pretty good too. 3 and 4 lacking terps. very woody.. Great grow all in all. about 35g of premium bud per plant. Happy growing!

We are starting quite well, it is beginning to show its first signs of flowering, we expect a flowering of approximately 6 weeks that could extend to 8 weeks depending on the fattening let them have the buds

The Apple Betty girls have performed very well this week! The LST began, and there was some great growth in side branching. I also started this week off with introducing them to some nutrients ❤️ Start of week 4, the girls had responded well to transplanting, so I decided to start with some LST. My main method is to use soft wire wraps (dollar store purchase!) I poke one hole in the side of the pot near the top, and then go directly opposite that hole and poke through to make another. The first hole is for a wire wrap to secure the base of the seedling from pulling right out or over too far. The other hole is for the direction you want to bend your plant to. I start by slowly working the stem between my fingers at the point where I want it to bend. Twisting and pinching slowly so not to snap. *wait a day or two after your last water, or it will be easier to snap* once it’s ready to flop, I use the wire tie to hold down the top of the plant as close as I can to the nearest shoots. I’ll usually leave the plant like this for a couple of days, adjusting the ties, and then take them off to let them recover . Watered with a small dose of the full line of Advanced Nutrients I will be using for this grow. The girls got about 500 ml at the beginning of the week, but 2 days in I could tell they wanted more. By the end of the week they are taking nearly 1/2 gallon (which will give me 10% runoff) At the end of the week I increased the intensity of the BP2500 to 190 watts at the wall and the girls did show a few wrinkles as they adjusted, but have quickly recovered. I haven’t topped these girls, and I’m not sure if I am going to… thoughts? Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Did a defol on the covered budsites; feeding straight h20 at 6.0 this week I may have pushed the nutes a bit but that’s okay atleast I know he’s eating. Next few weeks I hope to get some smells coming off for an update 🤟

Bud sites are producing black/purple spot in leaves. Bud growth is producing as the days go by. Really excited with this being my first grow Nitrogen boost really helped with the deficiencies. Plants are starting to look really heathy... Prunes lower colas that weren't stretching past the canopy and receiving energy so more energy can be used towards the top buds

All and all I popped 19 seeds lost one after it came above ground 5 of those I will be posting on here which are mandarin cookie crossed with zweet og they are regular photoperiod plants so I will have to sex them it is a small pheno hunt looking for something to keep as a mother plant didn’t use any nutes for the first week

Die Woche ist sehr gut verlaufen finde ich, jetzt sitzt sie in dem neuen Topf und kann größer und stärker werden :) sie hat sich nun an das neue Licht gewöhnt. Sie ist auch ein gutes Stück gewachsen und es geht echt zügig:) Anfangs hingen ihre Blätter sehr vermutlich weil es zu trocken dadrin war, seit dem habe ich eine Schale wasser im Schrank zur befeuchtung und sie sieht wieder sehr stark aus :) Auch die Seitenarme kommen sehr schön durch Der Topf sollte etwa 2-3 Liter höchstens haben und ich muss nun in der 7. Woche mit Grow nachdüngen weil sie noch nicht die entsprechende Größe hat ^^ Ich habe auch hier kein enhancer benutzt die Woche. Ich giese mit 2-3 kleinen Shotgläser am Tag Sind ca 0,1 l am Tag

She actually grew ANOTHER 31cm this week! She is totally out of headroom now, her top cola will be above the lights in a couple of days 😂 Fastbuds do say it can reach 1.4M... 😁 She is also looking quite bushy, I'm guessing this is a result of the earlier FIMing/topping on multiple sites. This may also have lengthened her veg time, but that's ok. I like to grow monsters 😁 😜 Nothing else to the report as I'm just letting her do her own thing. For nutrients I'm using 15g of 20-20-20 mixed with 10L of water. Also added 4ml/L of both Cannazym and Terpinator. This brings it to around 1600ppm including ~300ppm for my clean water. Timelapse Sequence: *** Pineapple Express *** Blue Dream Auto Jack (Not in shot) *** Pineapple Express *** CBD Compassion

Frost is all over and she smells incredible. The buds are getting bigger and bigger. Cant wait to sample her 😋 She got a little defoliation on day 66, nothing crazy.

OCTOBER 18th to OCTOBER 24TH Sunrise: 08:31 | Sunset: 18:50 | Total Daylight: 10:19 Weather over the past week saw several consecutive days of full cloud cover and rainy periods. Greenhouse has held temperatures during the day, and only dropped below 10C once (Day 168). Good periods of sun on Day 167 and 168, with the forecast looking sunny for the next few days. I suspect that will help along the ripening process as the plants process nutrients from the fan leaves during the fade. There hasn't really been any issues with humidity levels, as it has hovered in and around 40% to 45% RH Both Blue Dynamite specimens are near ripe, with many trichome heads cloudy, some clear, and few amber. Suspect it is a matter of days before they are ready to be harvested. DAY 162 2L of plain rainwater (cold) applied to each specimen. DAY 163 n/a DAY 164 15C in greenhouse in the morning; Cloudy and cool day overall, but greenhouse holding temperatures above 19C and plants are clearly going through senescence. DAY 165 Steady rain overnight, with armer temperatures; Greenhouse held overnight at 17.5C and 50% RH. Cool, cloudy and rainy day (high of 9C, 97% RH, but greenhouse and the associated equipment performing as designed and holding temperatures at 19.5C with humidity ranging from 40% to 45%. DAY 166 Cool and rainy overnight (6C intermittent light rain). Greenhouse held to 16.5C and 41% RH. Noticed some droop so provided 1L of plain rainwater (cold) via drip in the afternoon to each specimen and everyone perked up thereafter. Temperatures reached 19C for much of the day, with 43% humidity. Temperatures outdoors were a high of 7C, with 80% humidity (or more) during the day. Remained overcast for much of the day, but there was a couple of periods of increased brightness. Plants are doing well, all fading; Blue Dynamite #1 has produced very nicely sized typical hybrid shaped flowers, that are probably the prettiest in the garden. They sparkle as a result of better than average trichome production, smell of grapefruit and sweet berries and have slight tints of pink and purple at the edges of calyxes. I really ought to have taken a cutting of this one. Trichome heads are mostly clear, some cloudy at the heart of flowers, while at the edges of sugar leaves there are a substantial number amber coloured heads visible. Blue Dynamite #2 has produced fairly sizeable flowers, that have a bit of a sativa leaning and moderately open structure with long standing pistils. Trichome production is better than average and there are some soft pink hues beginning to show at tips of calyxes. Most pistils have wilted, but there remains a quantity of white pistils at the apex of the flowers. This plant smells of citrus and berries. Trichome heads are mostly clear with some cloudy at the heart of the flowers, while amber heads do appear near the tips of sugar leaves. DAY 167 Overnight low of 2C, greenhouse held at 12.5C and 41% RH. After a cloudy cool morning, the sun broke through and warmed up the greenhouse shortly after the noon hour. Exhaust fan even came on intermittently to reduce temps below 24C. Humidity was ideal all day, in and around 40%. After noting some droop, applied 1L of plain rainwater (cold) via drip to both Blue Dynamite specimens. This may be the last watering of the season. I think it will be possible to decommission the irrigation system for the winter over the coming weekend. I can pull 20L of water for use either for this crop and/or the mother tent. DAY 168 Greenhouse 9.5C (-2C outside) in the morning with 40% RH. Sunny morning, with greenhouse warming to over 10C by 9:30AM; Exhaust fan kicked in to hold temperatures at 24C just before the noon hour. Both Blue Dynamite specimens are showing cloudy trichomes outnumbering clear ones, and outside of the margins of sugar leaves, there are few amber trichomes present. Both plants are a mere few days away from harvest. +9-

More or less a standard week of stretching and feeding. She has really pushed through with the stretch. Fertigation was smooth with a 1.6 EC. Did a bit of selective defoliation of those huge fan leaves at the bottom? Used some stakes to open her out a bit. Still trying to get environment dialed in

Special thanks to @DreamIT for showing me how to add music and animation to video. Check out my fountain video above for a short clip. Thanks to @UnorthadoxDude for influencing me ( by visual curiosity) maybe twisted an arm to buy some carnivors. Well I happened to find some at our annual master gardener plant sale. I will be putting some in the tent. Lots of growth in my carnivores. Flowers on Sundew.
