What a shift in weather! After weeks of baking in that brutal summer furnace, the temperatures finally dropped this week, and Mother Nature brought us some much-needed rain showers. Weather & Smart Shelter: 🌧️🏠 Because we are in peak flower, direct rain is the enemy. I kept the ladies under a roof outdoor to make sure they didn’t get drenched. Even though the humidity spiked quite high at times because of the wet weather, luckily it didn't stay locked in for multiple days in a row. That’s a massive relief because keeping airflow up and avoiding stagnant moisture is everything at this stage to prevent any mold issues! Overall, the girls handled the cooldown perfectly and are looking incredibly good. The Big News: Harvest Time for Team Indica! 🕵️‍♂️🔮 I pulled out the loupe to check on the progress of the quicker girls, and we have reached a major milestone: Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto & Banana Purple Punch Auto: The trichomes are now predominantly milky! They have officially reached that gorgeous peak window, so I will very likely be chopping them down over the next few days. The anticipation is through the roof, and I can't wait to see the final rewards from these two beautiful, frosty strains! The Sativa Crew Stays Out: ⏳🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto & Bruce Banner Auto: The more Sativa-leaning ladies are still doing fantastic but are running on their own timeline. They clearly need a little while longer to fully mature, which is exactly what I expected. Amnesia Haze: She is absolutely putting on a show right now. She is packing on serious bud mass by the day, swelling up beautifully, and turning into a heavier monster. It’s an interesting week ahead—part of the garden is getting ready for the scissors, while the other half gets to enjoy the extra space and keep bulking up. Stay tuned for the harvest update!

WEEK 1 - All 3 seeds have been treated with root down again. The leaves are green and the healthy. Watching when the nutrients run out of the soil so we can start adding some manually.

So week 8 was definitely a trying one. I was coming off of not only being behind on food from a couple weeks back, but also having a soil pH problem at same time. So I fed them a couple weeks back, found the pH issue and flushed with proper pH water. However, some of the damage and deficiency signs were still hanging around. I decided to give them each a top dressing of 6 tbsp's of 2-8-4 power bloom, in case I washed a lot out during the flush. At the same time, continuing to water at a lower pH of 6.0-6.5 to encourage my soil to go back to an optimal level. On the soil pH tester they are all sitting from 6.6-6.8 pH currently. Which was a lot better than the 7+ I found during the issue. These girls are growing big and are constantly hungry for water and nutrients. The amount of leaves on this strain was quite impressive. On that note, I had to do a lot of defoliation at the end of week 8. Hoping to encourage longer bigger colas and allowing light to penetrate to lower canopy. Plan is to keep watering when dry, adjust LST as the weeks go along, and defoliate where necessary. I do apologize to Dutch Passion, as I feel I've done them a disservice with my issues this time around. So if the result of this strain from me is sub par, it would not be the strain at this point. But I will continue to do my best to make a good result!👊 Happy growing! P.S. forgot I named them to track their health. Big Red, Stubby and Corona Virus. Big Red is largest but has red stems and leaf discoloration. Corona Virus is like Big Red but more leaf issues and Stubby is shortest one but by far healthiest so far.

Hello Growers! Another week of cultivation, we are approaching the final stage! As the week goes by and they grow, they become more difficult to take pictures, due to the luminous flux inside the greenhouse, however, I made a video to better demonstrate how this progress is! Hope you like it! 😁

Hello everybody! Here we are a week later and I’m starting to see some nice improvements and developments. This week I fed all plants pretty heavily with Recharge and Dolomite Lime (and a little Cal Mag). The plants seemed to like it, the color is really coming back to a nice shade of green instead of the pale yellow’ish green and I'm starting to see nice bud sites developing! I’m going back to my normal nutrient routine this week and think it should be fairly smooth sailing from here. One negative is I seem to have inherited some bugs from my wife. She asked me to put one of her outdoor plants in the room so it would survive the winter, well it looks like that plant was infested with bugs. The little f’ers had a feast on some of the leaves. My wife gave me the OK to toss the plant, so with the plant removed it should be fairly easy to irradiate any remaining bugs with some sticky paper. I’d like to say thank you to all who answered my question regarding recommend reading on cannabis. I’m selecting the answer for the Grow Bible by Greg Green because I was actually unaware of that one. I’m familiar with the Cervantes and Rosenthal versions but not Greg Greens. I’ll be ordering that book after I receive and finish “True Living Organics” by The Rev (should be here tomorrow). This week I have a new question for my GD friends…. CO2? I have not been using CO2 but EVERY book I read recommends using it, I’m not prepared to go out and buy a CO2 tank, regulator, etc… at this time. Has anyone ever used one of those CO2 bags? Or do you have any DIY CO2 solutions you can recommend? I’m looking forward to your answers on CO2. I’ll leave you this week with another interesting excerpt from “Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields” by Read Spear: “I prefer to use high-pressure sodium lamps. With the exception of LED's, HPS lamps are the most efficient source of light you can buy, both in terms of light output and light spectrum. Having read nearly every book on the subject of growing pot, I feel that their authors tend to overemphasize the importance of light spectrum. You do not need to alternate between metal halides (for growth) and sodiums (for flowering). That is an oversimplification of the plant's light requirements. You may do this if you like--it certainly won't hurt--but I firmly believe that the gains are just not great enough to justify the cost of the extra MH lamp.” -Read Spear

Hello everyone, It's finally flowering time the tangerine dream is in day 2 of 12/12. I didn't stress her at all in the past 4 days to prevent any bananas popping up. Let's see how she looks next week, thanks for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather

DAY 66 from EMERGENCE......still struggle with RH. Made adjustments with set up to increase circulation/airflow. Hard to see thru jewlera loop sometimes Clear: 40-50% Cloudy: 35-45% Amber: 5-10% White pistols are 40% orange. Any brown hairs are from mechanical damage of me leaning over and I brush the top colas. I know I know. I wear full PPE. Always wear gloves if possible. Keep clean! STARTING FLUSH TODAY. 7-10 days (I know studies say you DO NOT have to flush, especially with hydro, I would with soil, but that's my opinion). Might add some bloom depending on how they look. RH: 45-50% Temp: 74⁰F. VPD: 1.3-1.6 (i know) H2O temp: 72⁰F (I know).... 3 circulating fans, 1 air intake, 1 exhaust. Vents open or tent open to help with stats. Last week blizzard, this week rain for 6 days. Usually open windows for fresh air but can't. Added dehumidifier to lung room and standing oscillating fan to keep air moving in lung room. ALL IS GOOD IN THE HOOD. STAY GOLDEN PONYBOY....HAPPY 🌲💨

As tops from largest 3 girls grew I trained them outward to fill the space more evenly, prepping them for their move to the larger chamber next week. They reacted very quickly to the training. The smaller of the 3 large plants seems to be needing more water than the other plants, wilting faster. Perks right back up after about 20-30 min of watering. Topped the rest of the smaller plants for a second time.

Week 10 for Moby dick by fastbuds, She's finally starting to bulk up a little her flowers, but she's extremely leafy likely going to defoliate her again a bit because little worried about her main cola getting bud rot but no signs of that for now. But the weather definitely isn't helping that worry😂 I've also stopped praying her down in the mornings because of the high humidity i don't want to run into any issues. She's going to be a long living auto for sure... 14 weeks+ i reckon but maybe that will translate well to the final scale weight 😁 She was fed once this week with some FPJ, Regulator, Enzym+ & Topbooster by @aptus_portugal just to give it an extra boost!

Los Últimos días de vida de la planta ya casi no la regaba, por falta de tiempo y para no generar humedad ambiente, días lluviosos con cortes de luz nos jugaron una mala pasada por eso se decide cosechar, las flores se ven hermosas de colores morados con verdes y amarillos de las hojas más viejas. Un cultivo sin estrés, aplicando productos nuevos y viendo muy buenos resultados. La única decisión mal tomada fue haber lavado raíces tan temprano, podría haber ganado algo más de peso con el monster bloom

The plant on the left has definitely developed quicker than the other. Not quite sure why the right plant is curving all sorts of ways. Currently dealing with fungus gnats which could be the reason but I'm glad one plant is showing strong signs. Trying to avoid harsh chemicals that may deplete microbial life so I'm hoping the plants can withstand gnats. I'm also sparsely watering to avoid further life cycles for them. Enjoying watching them grow. So far so good I hope.
