Got a little hot outside this week again and temps in the tents reached a high of 92. They hovered around 85-88 most of the time, and nighttime temps around 75. The plants have been loving the tropical like environments, and in fact showing less signs of stress now they are in warmer temps. I got my magnesium dialed back in with a few applications of Epsom Salt. The pants drank twice as normal this week. I also gave them a feeding with my fermented fruit juice I made and they seem to be loving it. I got a new bottle of cal-mag and does not seem to be as acidic, so i can add a little more than I was without it ruining my ph. It too about 15ml per gallon of the FFJ to Ph my water down form 7.8 to 6.5. I tested it before use and its PH is around 2.5. Between the Epsom salt, FFJ, and kelp. The plants are really starting to bounce back from their slight unhappiness. They are all looking near 100 percent health. At the end of the week they are are raging and praying to the light like theirs no tomorrow. Glowing vibrant lush green, the buds are also already a decent size for only being week 2. The plants and in much need of some defoliation but I will wait one more week after stretch to get that taken care of. The dehumidifier running during night cycle has been keeping things in check. The clones rooted and I potted them up to 1 gallon so I now have small moms. I got new worms and my worm bins cleaned out and set up again. Each of the 65 gallon pots got a small ball of worms added to the top soil to get the worm populations growing in them again. I was hoping those casting I added a few weeks ago with added worm eggs would hatch some but no luck so i just got some from Uncle Jim's worm farm.

Last week for Studio & Rainbow Gelato Will chop the S54 today, RG has 3/4 days left Studio ist really beautiful, it looks like bought cali buds - really proud that she turned out that way RG is not pretty at all in my opinion maybe I screwed her up somehow, all leafs look health except the browned ones in the middle tops In her edges are no discolored leafs Bruce Banner fills its gaps, I moved the light to the back so she gets more I already started flushing her + 2 weeks overdrive before that - wasn’t so smart cause she takes longer in general - avoidable mistake All in all happy they turned out like that

Salutations, fellow cultivators and botanical enthusiasts! Welcome to the First Week of Flowering Report for our beloved Jealousy in the Power Buds competition. The journey thus far has been nothing short of spectacular, and now, as we transition into the flowering phase, the excitement is reaching new heights. To kick off this week, I decided to don my horticultural surgeon's hat and perform a series of strategic maneuvers on our green queen. The week began with a daring move – a couple of toppings to encourage a more bushy and compact growth structure. It's like giving Jealousy a little green haircut, shaping her into a voluptuous, floral masterpiece. But that's not all, my friends! A defoliation extravaganza ensued, where I carefully removed some of the larger fan leaves. Now, I can almost hear you asking, "Why on earth would you do that?" Well, it's all about optimizing light penetration and airflow, ensuring that each bud site receives its fair share of sunshine and fresh air. It's like orchestrating a botanical ballet, where every dancer gets their moment in the spotlight. Now, brace yourselves for the grand finale – taking some cuts. I know, I know, typically, we'd ease into these practices, but time is of the essence, and I wanted to put Jealousy's genetics to the ultimate test. The cuts were taken with the precision of a master sculptor, each one destined to become a clone, a green offspring preserving the essence of our marvelous Jealousy. And let's not forget the star of this green show – Jealousy herself. She's embracing these changes with open leaves, responding to the toppings and defoliation like a botanical maestro. It's like watching a symphony unfold, where each note played by nature results in a crescendo of growth and vitality. As we navigate this first week of flowering, let's tip our virtual hats to Zamnesia and Plagron for paving the way for this thrilling Power Buds adventure. Their contributions are the backbone of our horticultural success. A round of applause to the Grow Diaries community – your shared wisdom and green camaraderie elevate our collective knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your flowering phase be abundant with resinous wonders, and may the fragrance of success linger in your grow rooms. Here's to a week of strategic moves, green transformations, and the anticipation of a blooming spectacle. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only. Genetics - Jelousy @Zamnesia Nutrients @Plagron Light - @viparspectra P2000 Room size - 3x3 - 0,9x0,9

📆 Semana 8 El engorde continúa avanzando a muy buen ritmo y los cogollos siguen aumentando progresivamente su volumen, densidad y peso. Los cálices continúan hinchándose y la producción de tricomas se intensifica, dejando las flores cada vez más cubiertas de una gruesa capa de resina. Los pistilos comienzan poco a poco a cambiar de color, aunque todavía predominan los tonos blancos en buena parte de las flores, señal de que la maduración continúa su curso. Ambas plantas mantienen un consumo elevado de agua y nutrientes y siguen respondiendo de forma excelente, con una evolución uniforme y una estructura floral cada vez más compacta. ⚡ EC: 1.7–1.8 💧 pH: 6.2–6.5 🌡️ Agua: 21°C 🌫️ Humedad: 45–50% 💡 Intensidad: 1000–1050 PPFD 🔥 Nota de cultivo: Entramos en una fase decisiva de la floración. Mantener unas condiciones ambientales estables y una nutrición equilibrada será fundamental para completar el engorde, favorecer la maduración y conseguir la máxima calidad y producción de resina en la recta final. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

I figured nothing could go wrong with 50% amber / 50% milky trichomes. Harvest day, Medical Mass: Huge buds and no traumas but got bud rot because of too high temps. The best I've ever smoked. Harvest day, Pineapplex Express: Got an early trauma when transplanting but handled it beautifully. Potent smoke. Pretty satisfied for a first grow, and I have a lot of changes for my 2nd grow!

Looks like they've recovered from nutrient burn once I backed off the nutes. I also checked the PH after mixing the 3 parts and the Micro doesn't seem to be bringing the PH down enough, it only goes to 7.3. I use Nectar for the Gods PH down to bring it around 6.5. Some of the leaves look a little light in color and slightly burned at the tips, I think they might be light stressed even though Ive get my lights spaced a safe 24" away. I LST where I can this week. The plants are so short that its difficult to do effectively.

We have 3 clones, 2 just regular clones taken in veg and 1 clone a few weeks later once in the early budding of the flower. Will be a good side-by-side visual comparison of the benefits of monstercropping. They have been kept at a minimal photosynthetic rate for 3-4 weeks under predominantly blue light 💙 to try to shorten internodal spacing. (Yes it could be faster) No rushhhhh. Starting diary at week 1 germination but in reality, they are fully stabilized and at least a month old. Just to get stuck right in I decided to super crop the base of the stem early hoping it creates a strong knuckle. This may backfire incredibly, only time will tell. Also topped it too, never topped a flower bud before but oh well, if this wee plant survives it's gonna be something. Initially, I wanted to start it in a regular pot as this creates a solid rootball base before upsizing it to air-pots.

============================= 📅 Week 10 – Flowering Days: 64–70 Dates: 12/06–18/06 Strains: RQS Critical (3x), RQS White Widow (1x) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 🌿 OVERVIEW / PLANT STATUS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 Plants remained in very good health as the flowering stretch came to an end.
The canopy was now fully established, with all plants focusing their energy on flower production rather than vertical growth. Bud sites expanded noticeably across the canopy and began stacking into recognizable flowers.
 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📏 MEASUREMENTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Plant 11/06 18/06 Growth --------------------------------------- CRIT-1 57 cm 62 cm +5 cm CRIT-2 64 cm 70 cm +6 cm CRIT-3 54 cm 57 cm +3 cm WWID-1 47 cm 50 cm +3 cm ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌡️ ENVIRONMENT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Temperature ranged between 23–27°C, while humidity generally fluctuated between 55–65%.
 As flower mass increased, humidity became more difficult to control and required maximum exhaust fan operation. Good airflow was maintained throughout the canopy and below the plants to support transpiration and reduce moisture accumulation around developing flowers. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💧 WATERING & FEEDING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The AutoPot system continued operating reliably with steadily increasing water consumption. Bloom feeding remained the primary nutrient strategy. Bio PK supplementation continued throughout the week and plants responded positively with no visible signs of nutrient burn or toxicity. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ ISSUES & ACTIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ No major deficiencies, pest pressure, or nutrient-related issues were observed. The primary challenge during the week was managing humidity levels as transpiration increased and flowers developed. Exhaust ventilation was operated aggressively and airflow beneath the canopy was improved to maintain healthy flowering conditions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📝 GROWER NOTES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Overall, it was an excellent week! Plants completed the transition from stretch into active flower production.
 Bud development accelerated across all cultivars and overall vigor remained high. Canopy structure was well established and all four plants showed healthy flowering progression with strong potential for the coming bulking phase. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 PLAN FOR NEXT WEEK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Maintaining bloom feeding • Controlling humidity below 60% • Supporting early flower bulking

420 Fastbuds Week 2 Veg FBT2301 The two of these are starting off great. The few rust spots stopped and stayed on the couple leafs it showed up on. I feed 500ml of solution every other day. I did start the General Hydroponics 3 part Flora series as well as the Calimagic. On week one I started 1/4tsp per gal ratio every other feed, so far no burn so will probably bump it up this coming week and see how they respond. All in all Happy Growing.

good plants for hydro grows they dont stretch too much, buds need support because of the weight at the end. i run in a little calmag issue because i went overboard with the bloombooster around week 5. this caused a lockout top leaves got effected by this other then that i had a huge yield.

June 17: The garden area had just under 3 inches (75mm) of rain in the past week which was really needed. Temps have been mid teens to low 20s deg C. The wind has been relentless and the plants continue to take a beating. Overall pleased with the growth but some concern, because preflowers are showing, they may be stunted and flowering early (due to environmental stress).

********** Week 2 of flower, Days 8 to 14 - Sept 26 to Oct 2/20 *********** It has been an exciting week with finding a crack in a main stem and started plus we added new supplemental nutrients to the feed as well. These girls are starting to push out some frost now as well. Overall, they are a little more squat than the other girls in the same tent but these girls are looking awesome. Buds are setting and starting to stack more as well😃 Pretty solid growth and bud sites for week 2 flower. Her leaf tips have been up and she is happy........she is happy all the time other than the first half hour of waking up😃👍 Very nice little girls to grow so far. The branching is certainly a little more lateral/horizontal than other strains I have grown. Could be that I was a little more aggressive with topping and tying down and they simply didn’t need it. She is not a long lanky strain and is making nice little bush shapes. She won’t have many colas but should be thick guys. C471 should be fewer and thicker while C472 will have a couple more colas but likely the main ones won’t be as thick as C471.......time will tell🧐 On Sept 28 I found a crack and had to do some repairs. Cream 471 was worse off the Gorilla Girl 4 with her cracked stem. GG4 was caught early enough that she didn’t separate much at the base. Looks to be as though I have caused the issue by topping the main stem a little too low😢 Coming back though now and when she was tied together and looked after she is bouncing back, its crazy how these plants can heal themselves😀💪👍 Took the tips from fellow growers and decided to try and fabric something with some cushion so that the straps holding the branches together don't cut into the branches. Needed another tool of the trade.......DYNAVAP to calm the nerves😀 because the grow has been going well and this set back has me pissed off as it is grower error😡 Seems to have worked out pretty well though and will keep our fingers crossed that the end result will be a frostier girl👊🤞 Switching the PK booster at the end of the week to Big Bud and started to add Rezin from Green Planet. Not much for Bud Factor X left so will run with Terpinator and Rezin as a replcement. 2nd layer of SCROG netting added early in the week, Sept 27/20. They are pushing out a good amount of leaves now and stretching so need to provide that added support for down the road. IPM spray again this week, last opportunity, with Plant Therapy. There has been something in the tent and I think I have killed them. One more shot though to make sure and before there are too many bud sites. Love this product!!!!!! Works so well at getting rid of thrips and mites. Little more detail........ Sept 26/20, Day 8 - Little heavier feed as they have not been watered for two days - 4L - CalMag @ 2ml, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Bud Ignitor @ 1ml - 830ppm and 5.7pH - will start to let the pH rise bit now over next couple of weeks Sept 27/20, Day 9 - 2nd SCROG layer added. Sept 28/20, Day 10 - more microbes today - 4 L - Microbial Mass @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml - 290ppm and 6.3pH - pH was a little high but left it...wasn't moving and then boom,,,,,,,oh well. - Good amount of runoff today. Sept 30/20, Day 12 - Heavier feeding today - 5L - CalMag, Vitathrive, Rezin @ 2ml Rhino Skin, Bud Candy, B52, Sensi Bloom @ 1ml. - repaired the cracked stem a little better tonight......was not sure how this girl will work out. Crack is fairly substantial. - Try and keep the paper towels wet now so the humidity is high around the wound. - Should have left a little more branch from the node above when cutting the top. Oct 1/20, Day 13 - Switching PK booster today to Big Bud......these two girls are past bud ignitor.....already stacking. - 3L - CalMag, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Big Bud @ 1ml - 665ppm and 5.9pH - IPM spray tonight again with Plant Therapy. Think I have seen some bug damage on Cream 47 girls. That takes us to the end of week 11 in growth and week 2 of flower. Time will go quick now that we are off and running. Will be done feeding by early week 7. Want a good flush and leeching on these girls to get all the nutes out. I have been missing it by a few days on the last few auto runs and want this photo run to be better as I have a better track of weeks and when she will be done..........should be done by the end of week 9, about 7 more weeks. Cheers Growmies and have a great week. Thanks very much to Mr_Motalovah and spacecadet55 for sharing your comments on cracking the main stems. Should be avoidable next time and appreciate the knowledge🙏👍 Nice strain Sweet Seeds.......these girls have my curiosity and can’t wait for the smells to start more as well!!!!👍🙏
