The cherry bomb doing well. Gave her a flush and fresh nutrients. Been tying the branches down a little as they grow out and pulling a few leaves every couple days to keep them from blocking light. Will be switching them to flower next week.

Day 71, 19.06.2024 As the new and possibly last week of blooming arrives I am looking at two ladies, that behaved quite well during the last weeks. They grew close and it will be a shame to cut them down in the end. However, what must be done, must be done right? Today there will be the second to last nutrition intake for them. I decided to cut the BioBizz Grow and CalMag completely so they will receive 600ml of 4/4ml (Bloom/TopMax) later today. Also today I saw the first amber trichomes through my pocket microscope. But not enough yet - maybe I will stop feeding nutes after todays "last supper" and start flushing... Day 72, 20.06.2024 No action today. Day 73, 21.06.2024 600ml of water each - no nutes. I think it might be the big finale. I am thinking about harvest next and watching a lot of YouTube about that topic 😂 Day 74, 22.06.2024 No action on the plants but to give them a check up. I finally see the first amber trichomes on both of the plants, woohoo 🙌 Removed 3-5 fan leafs that were starting to get yellow. Time to make up a plan for the harvest I guess! Currently the plan is - to do harvest in 4 days from today in the evening (Wednesday, 26.06. ~1700). - I stop watering immediately - no more soup for you! Maybe I did not do flushing long enough, but my hope is that using organic fertilizer eases the effects - I will not switch off the lights on Monday at 1100 (like usual). Instead I will keep it on until 1700 - then switch them off completely. - 48h later on Wednesday I will harvest I do all this to inflict stress to the ladies. Stress by low water, stress by longer light followed by stress due to no light at all. All this will hopefully lead the plants to 1. produce more trichomes as a defensive reaction and build up bud mass 2. urges the plant to process as much chlorophyll as possible which leads to better taste in the end So much for the plan. Let's see how this turns out. Day 75, 23.06.2024 The good thing about not watering anymore: No action today. But as today would mark the "point of no return" in a way I will double or even triple check for the trichomes. If they are ready, I will commence the plan of not watering and longer lighting tomorrow. If there is doubt I will shift the plan day by day. Aaand here it is: Doubt! After checking the trichomes again I found too much of them clear. I decided to not rush things and thus postpone the harvest for at least 3 days. So today there will be a (late) flush and we will take it from there. Day 76, 24.06.2024 No real action today but to check in trichomes. Erika II has a good number of amber trichomes while Erika I still has too mich clear ones. It's a dilemma. But I will hold on to the plan for now which says: Harvest will be on the weekend (friday presumably)! Day 77, 25.06.2024 Today we reached 30°C outside and it is (finally) getting summer here in germany. This resulted in 28°C inside the tent & it felt good to give the ladies some craved water: ~1000ml went in the pots before the drain started. This was definetly the last drink. Tomorrow the last light cycle will start. Today is tuesday. The plan for harvest is as follows: Wednesday: No action. Thursday: Lights out at 1100. They stay off until the end. Friday: Harvest will begin at around 16:30 after work. Both plants will be harvested & hung up for drying. I am thinking about doing one plant using wet-tim and one plant using dry-trim techniques, just to have the comparison right after the first grow. I guess I need to make up my mind about that...

Using a Rhaspberry Pi 4 to automate the watering and a TP-link 105 smart plug to automate the Viparspectra P2000 LED grow light. You can see how I automated it here: https://hackaday.io/project/188129-rhaspberry-pi4-basic-watering-system-for-balcony Basically, this is an "Automated Watering how-to Guide for Dummies" - as simple as technically possible. You still require some basic command line expertise, but the steps have been proven and I provide links to the gear I used AND the Node Red code, making this EASIER than anything else I've seen online.

Day 49! Starting to give her just plain water for 2 weeks of flushing. Getting really excited to harvest and then get going on another grow. See you next week.

Semana terminou com mais uma poda e defoliação, feito preventiva. Dia de aproveitar e guardar alguns clones. Uma flor de Industrial Plant x Girl Scout Cookies F2 que fiz em 2014, sementes germinam muito bem. Ótima flor com perfil aromático old school, Kush, bem terroso e com nota de coca cola. Leve picancia e nada doce.

Salute, topman. It is this bush that will be 160 grams, and all together with the neighboring ones - 780 grams of dry and 250 second-rate, although 1100-1250 was expected ... Probably overkill with the far red 660nm booster (one of the bushes was super bubbly and airy, but gave only 100g when 300g was expected...). In general, I try this beauty for the second time, the second time I am pleased, but this time with the most exquisite taste and smell. To say I recommend is an understatement! Look how it all began! ^^

We’ll week ten is here and I’m amazed to say the least. The girls are doing wonderful. Getting sticky and thick. Probably going to start flushing the zkittles and purple lemonade here in the next day or so. Most of the tricomes are milky noticed one or two ambering. The blackberry has another week I believe. They all smell amazing. Can’t wait to smoke them!

I've been pulling the top fan leaves to stop the main stem growing any taller and repotted them into 4L pots, once they show roots I'll flip them over to flower. They've all outgrown their mutations but the apple fritter has a slight varigation.

Now using a and b bloom 1 ml and added cannaboost 1ml

Last week before the chop, girl is looking pretty 😎 😳 last few days left and she is getting much more chunkier 🤤

Welcome to week 9! Starting off with a nice photoshoot Watered 3 plants on 08/04 with 1.5L 5.8 PH 1.7 EC. 2nd time for LCC "Cara" that she has to wait a day longer for watering. Oh well! Watered LCC "Cara" on 09/04, 1.5L 5.7 PH 1.8 EC No Watering on 10/04, but some nice colorful photos! Watered all on 13/04, 1.5L, 5.7 PH , 1.7 EC. Nutes all around the same, 5ml/L Plagron Terra Bloom and 1ml/L green sensation. one BPP is showing awesome purpling, very deep and saturated, and one LCC really got that Fall color scheme going now. Very happy with how its going! Trichomes are still mostly clear/cloudy. Judging by my last batch of BPPs, i'd give them anywhere from between 1-3 weeks. dont know how ill manage harvest yet, either all at once, when some are more amber and some are still a tad early, or individually. I got finals coming up so probably depending on how i find the time for it.

Everyone is officially in flush mode, washing away all the chemicals in the coco and attached to the roots, making sure I flush them with atlas 50% runoff, I flush em with 14L of plain PH water at 6.4.

Experiment explanation see week1 Tried Fiming...let see what will happen...ok Autos dont like HST but I dont go on height...to have only one ripe big main cola...to go on height indoor/led does not make sense for me... Transplantation end of week3...autos dont like it but i had no choice technically So already 2 things autos dont like😃 The two tropicals in different ling soil get only water Gelato got plagron sugar royal 1 ml/l and plagron alga grow 1 ml/l for the start...the soil (plagron royal mix) should have some nutrients as well

1.5 - This lady had some fungus gnat damage and reveg'd a bit so I decided to practice my bubble hash method. I didn't even weigh it haha, I totally forgot but looks about .75oz (21g) Turned out really well! Very strong stoney, sedative high. I accidentally mixed my 76-120 and 120-220 from the first wash, during microplaning, so it's like 4.7* I think. The 25-76um is a little better. Totally worthy of a nail, though I wish I could give it a melt on some quartz to see. :) The other big, non-revegged LA Sunset looks completely different and is thriving. Expecting to put her in the dark this weekend.0 1.28 - I harvested the second full size LA Sunset and it is amazing. Gassy, chocolaty, very pungent.

this mf are heavy weight but got fluffy buds

Heeeey all! Sorry for the extremely slow update! The past few weeks have been crazy for me! 😱 This week I made a lot of defoliation and decided to be somewhat greedy. I'll let the plants grow a bit more so they'll stretch well during flower! So while I defoliate I'll allow the plants to recover properly! 💪 Near the end of the week I also made another mistake with Roko (poor baby! 😭). I broke another of the stems (the one that divided the plant in two, right in the middle) and I feared the worst! But so far the plant kept growing without any problems. I'm still thinking a name for my 4th baby, she has surprised me greatly and I didn't notice how many new branches had grown until I defoliated her and I'm sure she'll deliver some great buds! 😍 Anyway everyone, this is all for now. Thanks for reading this journal and soon I'll update the next week! 😃

Ms Mia Wallace went to town and blew the f up. Lots of leaf growth but no sign of bud spots- I know it’s early days tho. Watered with half serving of bloom nutes. Not the ideal nute mix I think, but served me well last grow. Also, as I turned up the light to max power, I noticed heat stress so i turned it down and successfully installed the worlds most eco friendly trellis - one minute- hockey net - next minute - weed trellis. It’s called upcycling boys and girls. I know it’s shit, I’m gonna reinstall it one more 1/4 ass so it’s a full half-ass scrog. Point is, the canopy is flat, pushed that puppy down so there’s more distance. Light back to 100%. Humidity was a little higher under the canopy, even with the dehumidifier, so I put my inline fan back in (was just a booster in-line fan before) and the temp and humidity is dropping. Saw a little bug. Hit the top & bottom canopy layer with light neem oil spray then incecticidle soap. I saw a small critter so I put Diatomaceous Earth on a upside down Tupperware lid. Don’t know if that works. Last time I did a top coat of the stuff on top of the soil - something happened and bad nute burn. Anyone know anything about this? Finally, also tied down a bunch of branches to let the light hit the lower areas. Tune in next time, where I’ll show you how to make a trellis from a pair of spandex Leggings , Peanut butter and a single streamer from the handlebars of a kids bicycle. Keep your buds green, and your grow room clean.

## Week 10 Update: Flowering Phase Transition 🌿🌟 ### 🌱 First Signs of Flowering 🌱 Welcome to Week 10! The transition to the flowering phase is well underway. We’re starting to see some promising developments as the plants move from vegetative growth into the flowering stage. --- ### 🌿 Current Plant Status 🌿 **Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞** - **Growth:** The plant has reached a robust and healthy canopy. The stretch phase is noticeable, with the plant reaching its full height. - **Flowering Progress:** Early signs of flowering are starting to appear. Look for the first signs of pistils or calyxes in the coming days. **Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿** - **Growth:** This plant is maintaining its dense and bushy structure, which is great for future bud development. - **Flowering Progress:** Initial flowering traits are emerging. The plant is slowly transitioning into the flowering phase with early bud formation visible. **Blueberry Muffin 🥞** - **Growth:** The canopy remains strong and dense, ready to support upcoming flower production. - **Flowering Progress:** The plant is beginning to show its first signs of flowering. Calyxes and pistils are starting to form as it adjusts to the light cycle. --- ### 🌱 Nutrient and Supplement Update 🌱 **Current Nutrient Regimen:** - **Power Roots (PLAGRON):** 1 ml/l to keep enhancing root health and overall plant vigor. - **Pure Zym (PLAGRON):** 0.5 ml/l to continue supporting root health and improve nutrient uptake. - **Terra Bloom (PLAGRON):** 2 ml/l to supply essential nutrients for bud development. - **Power Buds (PLAGRON):** 0.5 ml/l to stimulate bud formation and increase flower density. - **Orgatrex (Bio Tabs):** 2 ml/l for a balanced nutrient profile. **Feeding Schedule:** - Adjusting the nutrient mix to support the early stages of flowering and ensure the plants are getting balanced nutrition for optimal flower growth. ### 🌱 Environmental Conditions 🌱 **Temperature & Humidity:** - Conditions are being carefully monitored and adjusted to support flowering and prevent issues such as mold or nutrient deficiencies. **Training & Defoliation:** - Continuing with LST (low-stress training) and selective defoliation to maintain an even canopy and ensure light penetration to all parts of the plant. --- ### 🌸 Looking Ahead 🌸 As we enter Week 10, the flowering phase is becoming more apparent. The first signs of flowers are emerging, and the plants are adjusting to this crucial stage. Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue to monitor their progress closely and make adjustments as needed to ensure healthy flower development. Stay tuned for next week’s update to see how the flowering process is progressing and to check out any new developments in the grow! Happy growing! 🌟💚

Another week gone by. I am going to need to trellis these girls next week and move them to their final resting place about 30 yards over. It's a little bit more of a sunny spot and it will allow them to get about about 2 hrs of sunlight come autumn. Last year I noticed some trees that blocked the sun as it dropped closer to the horizon, so we are going to avoid that...or Ill just chop down the couple trees blocking the sun Plants are looking great! They're doubling in size every week about The grandpas stash r2's are thickkkkk They smell very similar to my hash plant bx1. Skunky, hashy, spicey The og kush bxf2 all over the place in terms of smell. My favorite have to be the grapefruit one I found. It's so goddamn citrusy kinda crazy....others I would say are more piney The lemon Berry's are what ever. Not my fav by who knows what will happen in the next month. Sativas always look sickly to me so I'm very biased

Edit: I decided to harvest her tomorrow, i dont want any bud rot. Shes doing well, the buds are not fattening as much as i hoped for so i think she needs 2 more weeks here is the crux, next week itll rain nonstop, no sun and high humidity in this stage its safe to assume shell get bud rot. So i took a look through the microscope today cause im thinking about an early harvest. Its better than expected, 75% white 20% clear and 5% amber, almost all pistils are brown. If you have suggestions, leaving her to grow in real bad weather or an emergency harvest, what do you think would be better?
