Top dressed with some more soil. The top was looking depleted and just want to keep it from completely taking all the nutrients from the soil. Added a mix of power bloom with azomite and glacial rock dust. I watered in with some pure protein dissolved into hot water then added to the water I was using at diluted levels. The second watering they got this week was with molasses. which also does a good job of dropping the ph of my water to the perfect level and a little bit of Epsom salt because I ran out of my cal mag and also want the plant to have plenty of sulfur. Last week the stalks were starting to lean but were all getting good light so I did not mess with them but this week they were sagging just a little too much and i oppted for the plant tie to the top of the tent to keep the buds in the sweet zone of the light and to prevent pockets of an unfavorable environment. Very happy with how the buds are developing. the are not rock hard but dense and the amount of trichomes and weight is surprising when i was lifting the branches. Starting to look like shes slowing down a little but may even go to 9 weeks from the looks of it. i and not going to rush her.

7/3 Hot as fuck today. Japanese beetles were around. I killed a few. I'm going to have to go over and keep an eye on things. It reached 90° today for the majority of the day. I watered around 1pm as I noticed most of the bags were very light. I'm glad I held off on the BT. I've dealt with jpn beetles before so hopfully that won't be an issue. Things are getting big. It won't let me upload any pictures or the video I did. I may upload it to past week. Went back over at night and and plants looked dropy but it was after 7pm and they were just going to sleep. 7/4 Didn't take photos this morning. Found some jpn beetles. That's the damage I've been seeing. I went back over last night to hunt them but I only got two. There weren't any others. No biggie. I'll put some pics up from today after I get back 7/5 Didn't get a chance to check the plants out today. My intuition tingled around 1pm and I had just gotten home and I ran over to check them. They displayed minor signs of heat stress as seen in the pics (due to the super high humidity and 90° weather) and the bags were light. A few were REALLY light. I could see they needed water. I WATERED 4 1/2 GALLONS TO THE GARDEN. DO TO THE HIGH TENPS AND WINDS IVE HAD TO WATER THE LAST THREE DAYS IN A ROW. IVE SLOWLY STRARTED INCREASING VOLUME. I don't want to water until I get a shit ton of run off because I want to keep the nutes in my soil as long as possible. As you can see things are going great. Minor pests but notjing major. They're growing at a very rapid pace. I'll need to add another layer of supports soon and begin to LST some of these girls. I've got one seedling in a 10 gal and I'm pretty sure it's a feminized red runtz but it's in preflower and looks and SHOULD be a female but I haven't seen the white hair yet. Looks like a female preflower though. I do have one auto though in a 5 gallon tjats doing good too. I have a bunch of pics but the internet is too slow. I'll upload tomorrow. Started pouring around 6. 7/6 Poured sheet rain all night. After it had Bern super fucking hot and I watered my plants with 4 1/2 gallons. Oh well. If I didn't water we wouldn't have gotten the rain. The fabric bags makes watering easier. The wind will dry out the medium. We do have some rain in the forecast. A pallet fell over and knocked my 5 gal bucket with tje auto into a 10 gal seedling but it held the pallet up and didn't damage anything. Out of all the ways it coyldve landed it landed just right to not hurt anything. Everything is super healthy. I do have some random pest damage but it's minimal. I'll decide whether to use a spray or not. Didn't take pictures this morning. Was pressed for time. 7/7 Super hot even at 8a.m. Rained the majority of the day yesterday. Plants are getting HUGE. I'm going to have to build a second round of supports and should probably start some LSTing. They seem to like growing natural how they are (besides the original topping and FIMed. You can tell these are ALL very high % indicas. I'm seeing pistols spitting out everywhere. Event horizon and sherb cake seem to be in the lead. The seedlings have realky taken off. The one I put in the 50 has fan leaves the size of my hands. 7/8 Wow it has been extremely hot. It's going to be in the 90's again today. Checked my plants and it seems the GMOs seem to be using more water. Those bags were a little lighter. Seeing how there is no rain in for a few days I had to water. WATERED 3 1/2 GALLONS. LAST SEEDLING FINALLY SHOWED AS A FEMALE. 7/9 Bags are still heavy. Found ONE jpn beetle this morning. Plants seem to be bigger everytime I look.starying the stretch and spitting out some pistols. I took some pics of the pistles. I'll update 7/10 should've started a new week but I didn't. I'll make next week six days. Plants are starting ro stretch. Minor random pest damage but woth the heat they need lots of water. Noticed a couple dead interior leaves so I should probably go through everything and defoliate. I need to add another layer of supports as well.

Ok so it’s been along time since my last update as life has been busy for me.I have moved these 3 ladies outside sometime the end of June or early July and they have thrived.Ive topped them a few times after the initial topping and have added 3 scrog nets to keep the colas spread open over time and keep em below my fence top :).Some really nice colas and smells amazing I just know my neighbor is jealous 😆 kidding we smoke and bs together often.Ive been feeding them twice a week 4ml per gallon of advance nutrient line and they love it.Ive noticed they are starting to really thicken up this past week as its sept 19th today.I have some rain coming next week but it’s been a drought in Ohio so no worries about bud rot or mold until now.Im debating on adding a roof structure this weekend before the rain hits.What are opinions on polycarbonate roof top ??

The pound cake auto so far is an amazing plant. It has grown great and is super strong. Honestly it might be the strongest growing plant I have ever grown The weather is starting to warm up a bit it has been below freezing for over 30 days and now the snow is starting to melt finally it’s a lot easier to keep the humidity on point when it’s like 32 outside compared to 10

Another week has flown by! The girls are doing great, cruise control this week as I have just been monitoring RH and temps. Trying to keep them as low as possible, I’ve been getting as low as 74 during the day and 68 at night. I finally took a look a look at the trichomes with my jewellers loop, lots of cloudy, and a few amber around the leaves and top colas, but still lot’s of clear trichomes. I’ve ordered myself a wireless/usb digital microscope to assist with the process, and looks like it will be here just in time to determine harvest day. 😎🎄 I started by eliminating the nutrients at the beginning of the week. I typically allow for 3-4 pure water feeds before I harvest, and at the rate they have been drinking, this should be enough to get through the 7-12 days they have before harvest. I don’t flush, but rather “rinse” with normal water amounts, allowing the plant to use up the remaining nutrients in the soil. This also allows me to recover most of the soil from my grows and reuse ♻️ with other soil mix. There has been great debate and a great deal of bro science out there for many years, but the recent studies suggest there is no difference in end result when it comes to flushing or using nutrients right until the end, if a proper dry and cure is performed. What do you think? What do you prefer to do? Thanks for reading this far, leave me a comment with your preferred method 👊🇨🇦❤️

KKKK omg 986 g wet with branches, and trimmed only the parts that were very dry. The smell is moderately strong, very sweet and pleasant. I believe that once dried, trimmed, and cured it will yield around 160-200 g. For the flush I did the following: I used 15 L of water with Flawless Finish and left it for 12 hours. After that, I rinsed with 5-liter increments until the runoff PPM was below 250, which took 100 L of water. I let it dry for 72 hours and harvested today. ________________________________________________________ 15 days later.... 170g weight dry sweet+coffee smells 8/10 low high

Chop Day Today....66 days and I feel the runts and Mac could have gone longer but the godfather is crossings 30% ambs and the stash is almost empty!

No more bending. Time to let it grow.

I'm back, after a short vacation:) the girl has changed:) you can see the sugar leaves:) everything looks good:)..

Week 6 went well. The buds are putting out a second wave of pistils and are starting to fatten up. Jilly is starting to smell more and put out more trichs on sugar leaves. She smells very sweet and fruity so far.

Kicking ass this cheese went outside and brought back inside

9 weeks complete . Time for the big chop . Colours outstanding smells incredible going to be a long 2 days 😴🔥✔️

Hey everyone :-) This week it smells more and more sweet and fruity in the whole room 😍. There is actually not much to report, everyone is now under 12/12 :-). This is the last grow that comes in the entire diary. From now on, each plant will be added to the diary 👍. I wish you all a lot of fun watching, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

At the end of the 12th week I decided to chop. The plant grown a lot filling my entire tent, il she gives to me about 500g (or more) of wet harvest. The smell is very intense and the buds are sticky a lot. I put the branches into the tent with the dehumidifier, fan and extractor 24 hours on. Update: two weeks after the first harvest I've decided that it is time to harvest the second plant that I transferred outdoor when I discovered that she was showing signs of illness. It's buds are not so fat as the ones of the other plant, but they are rich of trichomes. Harvest today, light trimming and put the branches into a box.

10/21 Day 23 Well may be seeing some improvement on Brandy and Maggie from the drench and mag foliar spray. Will spray again tomorrow. Layla is just lovely and holding off another day on watering, temps have lowered and humidity is up so drying is slow. Just dont get it but I have decided to go full Coco coir from here on, something aint right 10/22 Fed Layla Big Bloom 3tsp - Fish Mix 1tsp - CalMag 1tsp - Recharge 0.5tsp - Fish Sh!t 0.5tsp / Gal at 6.5 ph for 0.5 gal Brandy and Maggie seem to be improving, had to train and gave another foliar spraying nothing else done. 10/24 Update New Pics - note new growth Plants beginning to drink more and Maggie showing most improvement. Afraid Brandy will stunt but sure that was going to happen a week ago. Leaf structure is improving greatly. Prob will feed in a day or two and another foliar spray at the same time 10/26 Day 28 Finally fed all three girls - nothing much has changed appearance wise and pics tomorrow on new week. Including initial dose of bloom nuets as hairs are showing strong - no foliar spray until Sunday. Feeding: Cal-Mag 5ml - Big bloom 15ml - Fish Mix 5ml - Bio-Bloom 5ml - Fish Sh!t 5ml / gal @6.45 ph for 1 gal (Layla) 0.75 gal (Maggie) 0.5 gal (Brandy) as they are drinking at different rates unfortunately. Final PH is taken after all nuets added, makes a difference. NOTE: Since this veg cycle is ending and the plants will be moving to the Flowering tent and this tent will be doing drying duty for the LSD-25 for a few days, time we were getting the Growit Coco coir ready for the Green Crack grow in a week or so. Hydrated the first brick (2 cuft hyd) and am single buffering the coco with 30 ml of cal-mag in four gallons of water for 24 hours. This will also serve as a safety wash just in case the factory lies :) Its supposed to be pretty good coco, little if any peat or croutons I can see. Will do second brick when this one finished and I can store Looking at using a different system this time around. Hope yall follow along Went ahead and posted the daily pics of the problem children just for giggles.

*english version below* Blütewoche 3 – Das kontrollierte Chaos im Citrus-Labor Diese Woche hatte im Zelt etwas von einem wissenschaftlichen Versuch, der langsam beginnt, außer Kontrolle zu geraten – aber genau so, wie wir es wollen. Wachstum & Struktur Der Stretch hat sich nun offiziell beruhigt. Die Pflanzen tun jetzt so, als wären sie die ganze Zeit vollkommen zivilisiert gewesen. Statt Höhenrausch gibt’s nun fokussiertes Kraftbündeln in die Blüten. Das Dach ist mittlerweile eine homogene, grüne Welle, sauber ausgerichtet wie ein geordnetes Blatt-Array. Oben wurde schon etwas entlaubt – so viel, dass man es inzwischen kaum noch sieht, weil die Damen schneller nachlegen als man schneiden kann. Der große Eingriff steht aber noch aus: Lollipopping Phase II – die chirurgische Endrunde. Wenn der untere Bereich fertig freigestellt ist, bleibt nur noch pure Effizienzmaschine übrig: Stamm, Weg, Bud. Blütenentwicklung Die Blütenstände haben diese Woche einen riesigen Sprung gemacht. Von „Wir probieren mal was aus“ zu „Okay, jetzt legen wir richtig los“. Die Cluster sind gut verteilt, dicht, voller frischer, weißer Pistillen und alles schreit danach, dass die nächsten Wochen interessant werden. Und das Beste: Reib mal an einem Zuckerblatt – da kommt dir schon jetzt dieses knackige Zitronenterpen-Profil entgegen. So klar und frisch, dass es fast im Auge brennt… im positiven Sinne. Systemstatus – läuft wie ein Uhrwerk EC: stabil bei 1.5 Wassertemperatur: 19°C – Chiller arbeitet wie ein Kühlschrank auf Red Bull Raumtemperatur: 25°C RLF: 58–60% → perfekte VPD für frühe Blüte pH: brav stabil, keine wilden Ausreißer Technik-Showcase Die Under-Canopy-Beleuchtung sorgt jetzt für diesen „UFO-Unterboden-Glow“, der aussieht, als würden die Pflanzen gleich abheben. Das RDWC läuft absolut glasklar, O₂-Sättigung im Premiumbereich und die Mars Hydro oben drüber macht fleißig Druck. Und dann noch das neue Gadget: Dein Mikroskop. Ein Spielzeug, das vermutlich gefährlicher ist als jedes Add-On im Zelt, denn man will plötzlich ALLES analysieren: Harzköpfchen, Blattzellen, PPSI-Strukturen… und wahrscheinlich irgendwann auch, ob die Pflanzen heimlich zurückwinken. Fazit der Woche Blütewoche 3 bringt Stabilität, Aroma, Spannung und Vorfreude. Der Stretch ist vorbei, die Bühne gehört jetzt den Blüten – und die liefern. Mit der kommenden Lollipop-Operation und weiterem Lichtdruck dürfte die Anlage jetzt in die Phase kommen, in der man sich fragt: „Wie voll kann ein 120er Zelt eigentlich werden, bevor es rechtlich als Landwirtschaft gilt?“ -------------------------------------------------- Flowering Week 3 – Controlled Chaos in the Citrus Laboratory This week inside the tent felt like watching a scientific experiment slowly slip out of control — but exactly in the way we hoped for. Growth & Structure The stretch has officially calmed down. The plants are now pretending they were perfectly civilized all along. Instead of reaching for the sky, they’re now channeling all energy into bud production. The canopy has turned into a uniform green wave, aligned like a carefully arranged leaf array. Some defoliation was done earlier, though the girls have grown so fast that it’s barely noticeable anymore. But the big procedure is still ahead: Lollipopping Phase II – the surgical finale. Once the lower section is fully cleaned, only pure efficiency remains: stem, pathway, bud. Bud Development The flowers made a huge jump this week. They went from “We’re experimenting…” to “Alright, now we’re getting serious.” The clusters are evenly distributed, dense, and bursting with fresh white pistils — everything is signaling that the next weeks are going to be fun. And the highlight: Rub one of the sugar leaves… that crisp lemon terpene profile already hits you. Sharp, fresh, and almost stinging the eyes — in the best possible way. System Status – Running Like a Machine EC: steady at 1.5 Water Temp: 19°C – chiller performing like a fridge on energy drinks Room Temp: 25°C RH: 58–60% → ideal VPD for early bloom pH: stable and obedient Tech Showcase The under-canopy lighting now creates this “UFO glow” underneath the plants — looking like the whole root zone is preparing for lift-off. RDWC is crystal clear, O₂ levels are premium, and the Mars Hydro above is pushing photons like it means it. And then… the new gadget: Your microscope. A toy more dangerous than any nutrient bottle — because suddenly you want to analyze EVERYTHING: trichomes, leaf cells, stomata, probably even if the plants secretly wave back. Weekly Verdict Flower Week 3 brings stability, aroma, excitement, and anticipation. The stretch is done, the stage belongs to the buds — and they’re delivering. With the upcoming lollipopping operation and increasing light intensity, the setup is entering that phase where you start to wonder: “How full can a 120×120 tent get before it legally counts as agriculture?”

hi, the plants are not doing well due to a deficiency problem due to the pH, I realized that the meter I was using is off for now or I corrected the ph using litmus papers while waiting to go and buy the new ph test, I hope to get these plants again I will try to pollinate a plant with the pollen of a male japonica (wild) hop to see if it is possible to create a hybrid

So das ist der letzte Beitrag zu den beiden. Es war für mich der erste Durchgang, der etwas Probleme bereitete, da meine cal/mag Werte nie wirklich stimmten aber das nie große Probleme bereitete, was ich aber schnell mit dem calmag von BioBizz wieder retten und somit eine schöne Ernte einfahren konnte. Mein Fazit zu den beiden: Special Kush: hat eindeutig größere Probleme bereitet als die Skunk, die ich aber wie gesagt wieder gut in den Griff bekommen habe. Optisch hat sie mir ehrlich gesagt im Zelt besser gefallen als die Skunk und ließ sich auch einfacher trainieren, da sie nicht so extrem geschossen ist in der Blüte. Ich muss ehrlich sagen an den Blüten finde ich leider Nix besonderes, sie sind zwar schön fest und glitzern aber Geruchstechnisch ist da nicht so viel los und das was ich rieche turnt mich jetzt nicht so an was auch daran liegen kann das sie sich gerade noch im curing befinden. Skunk XL: Eine sehr robuste Pflanze die gefühlt Nix braucht. Optisch fand ich sie erst langweilig ehrlich gesagt und so habe ich sie garnicht weiter beachtet aber natürlich genau so gepflegt wie die andere, aber da hat sich gezeigt die inneren Werte zählen, jetzt wo ich beide Blüten vergleiche merke ich das diese Pflanze viel viel mehr kann als gedacht und garnicht langweilig ist. Die Blüten haben so einen interessanten Skunk Geruch schon während des curings, sind von außen mit schönen vielen Orange-braunen Härchen überzogen und Stein hart, der Ertrag war auch sehr sehr gut. Also abschließend kann ich sagen der Durchgang hat mich gelehrt meine Wasserwerte noch mehr ans Optimum zu bringen und das der erste Eindruck einer Pflanze nicht viel aussagt manchmal merkt man erst nach der Ernte welches besser ist. 😂

Pretty plant. Fairly happy plant (finally). Smells lovely. But still no sign of flowers. I really do think she's just not going to amount to anything here... I'm giving her one more week... and then I might pop another seed instead. Changed up the reporting on this - rather than ppm, I'm now reporting EC... but to keep record, the ppm is 436 10/20 - She's really starting to go now.. drinking a lot of water, going through the nutes... not giving me the "normal" signs of being in flower but... I'm starting to worry I'm not going to have the headroom for her in my tent! Going to have to do some crazy stuff with the lights soon. Trying to LST her enough so that's not a worry but she refuses to grow "out" - she insists on growing "up"! Can't imagine what she would have been had I not screwed her up so badly at the beginning... but no, I'm not going to give up on her... she WILL be fine! 10/21 - She's going crazy now.. I do believe she's in flower and she's drinking up a storm. Cleaned out the reservoir and added new nutes for her today. EC now stands at 1.0 and I hope to get her up to the max of 1.2 in a few days... Also raised the pH to 6.2 and I'm very happy with that as well... My cat has also given her stamp of approval - she's now demanding to take her naps in the tent... smells just delicious in there! 10/22 - Damn, I'm proud of this lady - for standing up to me, for telling me "hit me with your best shot" .. she took every mistake I made and turned it around... she was NOT going to be denied! Need to get in and get more defoliation going... 10/23 - She's going to give me a harvest... that's really all I care about, especially since I had no hope of it at the beginning! It won't be a massive harvest and that's ok.. I'll be exceedingly happy with whatever she has to offer... and who know, I might be surprised! But the harvest won't hold a candle to what I'm going to get from #2... I still love them both the same...

🚨 Northern lights week 9 update 🚨 🚨 week 6 of flower!! 63 days old!! 🚨 Hey fellow growers it's your boy Wackytabacky_420 here with my Northern lights grow from growers choice seeds.
