Hey all welcome back to sort of week 12 or week 4 of flower!
I have just got home and donβt no what to say...... gold leaf 1 has nanas that seam to have popped and could have wrecked the whole grow π
The girls are def hungry as you can see there is some yellowing of the leaves so they will be getting a good feed today and again in 3 days to keep them in the zone. They are stacking up and getting a little fatness to there buds. Frost levels are just starting to kick in and the tent is pungent!!
Well the next few days will be spent watching for signs of any of the other plants turning male on us. Fair to say Iβm a little gutted about now as Iβm about to chop up a gold leaf that will produce over 4oz of dry buds fingers crossed this diary ainβt over

2nd week of veg! Started the tie down method on the 7th and had to tie down 3 times already! Going good will start wrapping plant around perimeter of pot until flower!
Because i'm away for two weeks the only thing I can do is upload screenshots off of the vivo time lapse camera.A half set in the room
Dad sent me a video of the plants. Uploaded both
Week 1 flowering is just over for our melonade Runtz from Dutch Passion
The stretching is amazing, they really doubled the size or even tripled the size.
We are adding some bloom nutrients now and lets see the buds starting to appear the next weeks.
CandyMan (kre8 Genetics regular seeds)
Week 5 Day 35 of veg!
First one has always looked smaller not sure if it's due to that light though but could also just be a weaker Genetic π€·ββοΈπΌ the other two seem to fill out quickly even after pulling most leaves off they just bounce back looking bushy in 24hrs! Two more weeks until flip π
june 27: Start flowering
the plants arent too big, they will end each with around 50-60 grams like this i am also vegging a sativa that im going to flower with them under the same light once shes big enough so i need the space.
the light used is the Optic 4 (gen3)
410watt
i am growing in coco without perlite
i lost track of the real veg time but that doesnt matter i just look at my plants and flower them once they get a decent size, i will update this every saturday so the week by week comparison is easy to follow.
Been hard sourcing everything I have needed for this room with the current situation. Fortunatly everything seems to bouncing along and are comfortable in the new tent.
Trichomes are getting nice and cloudy now no amber just yet. She is not far off now. Maybe a week or two .
You can see the tips of the leaves are slightly burnt. My fault I have been pushing her on the nutrients full strength.
Week 8 is over and its starting to look like fall in the tent. Yellowing leaves galore on Pheno 2 and a god fade started on Pheno 1.
I have just been feeding with water when dry and keeping vigile of leaves that should come off.
Its important to stay aware of the yellowing leaves as they can cause mold issues when they decompose on the plant which in turn also raises humidity and can cause bud rot.
Ive had this issue once before when it was particularly humid but I learned to pluck the dead leaves as they are no more use to the plant anyway and also incorporated a de-humidifier. I would say its a must as far as equipment for grows go as you never know when you may need it particularly in humid areas such as where I live and depending on the type of plant, vigorous growth tends to cause more humidity. A flan is also important as it moves the air around the tent and eventually out through the ventilation.
Apart from leaf picking, I have just been admiring the tent and watching buds that may look like they will swell up to the point where the stalks cant hold the weight. Its inevitable and I will just tie them up as they start to fall.
Anyway only 2 more weeks to go (maybe 1 and a half epending on the last swell and trichome head colour).
Until next week

Going well. Think I may flip in the next week. Don't want the plants to become too unmanageable for my first crop. Really enjoying the learning process. Thinking a t-break starting soon would make it easier to enjoy the harvest. Looking at getting some bubble hash processing equipment and a rosin press, my prefered consumption method from right at home. At this size what would an experienced grower expect in terms of yield? The strains seem hearty.
Thinking-
Flip: September 7
Harvest Window: November 2 β November 15
Drying: November 2 β November 16
Cure Starts: November 16
First Smoke: Early December
Peak Quality: Late December β January
The plant on the right got chopped down the hairs were 90% dark brown while left was fully white last week when it got taken down it had only one day flush. This plant I will flush for a week and see which is better. It has decent size buds all the way to the bottom but this one growing still doesn't have as many crystals as the harvested plant which was definitely cut down way to early π shame it must have forced to finish early from shock when I snapped a main branch clean off. This plant I will flush with plain filtered water for 7 days and even if it doesn't have as much crystals as the other plant, the bud size is 2x-3x the size of the plant that was cut down last week so I hope they will look a lot better size wise after they shrink when they are cut down and dried. I have also noticed some medium sized fan leads turning from green into a beautiful dark purple colour over the last 2-3 days slowly and it's spreading to other leaves the buds on this plant are also purple bits it's hard to see on here but looking sweet so far I have uploaded pic of the frost one which has been drying for a week now
High winds with continuous rain make these girls strong...buds are starting to swell 4 weeks today being full moon...more rain should follow tonight into the week. Rain water is really the best for plants π―
She has shown her first couple hairs , not sure if with autos if that starts week one flower but I'll continue veg until I see more than just a couple, then moab or sonic bloom to week one flower. I've used moab and sonic bloom and I can't tell which is better honestly. Thinking of making my own just without the extra b1 they put in.
