During week 3 all plants are growing well inside the Growfor.Life-Closet and have a healthy green color. The latest addition: Double Dutch plant #3 (from Serious Seeds) is behind the rest, but also doing well. On Day 18 the biggest three plants, Double Dutch plant #1 and #2 and OG-Kush have gotten so big that a first round of defoliation was necessary. I do this in order to avoid big leaves touching each other and causing dampness to condensate between the leaves, which in turn can attract fungus and mold. Therefore i take off all the big fan leaves starting from the bottom of the plant and only leave the top two fan leaves on the plant. Now the air can flow freely through the canopy again and no leaves are touching and no dampness can condensate. The plants are still getting no extra nutrients, since the PLAGRON Grow-Mix I use should still have plenty in it. I only use RHIZOTONIC from CANNA one time in order to enhance the root-production. Now at this stage you already can clearly see differences between Double Dutch (from Serious Seeds) and OG-Kush (from Humboldt Seeds). The leaf shape is different (smaller and more pronounced fingers on the leaves of OG-Kush) and also the growth pattern (more like Indica in Double Dutch). On Day 19 I decide to do some LST (=low stress training) in order to train the 3 biggest plants into a bushier form. This is necessary, because the Growfor.Life-Closet is limited in height and I want the plants to fill out the whole area well with budding sites. I use stiff insulated copper-wire (standard electrical wire, pieces of appr. 30 cm length) and bend small arches, which I then carefully place over the top-part of a side-branch and push the open ends of the wire downwards into the soil so it holds the branch in place, while its bent outwards away from the main stem. This way I 'fan-out' the lowest 4 side-branches, so they are growing upwards at places where the light can reach them better. (see in detail in video) All plants respond well to the LST and turn their leaves and tips of the side-branches towards the light again until the next day. At day 19 the plants are now almost 20 cm tall, therefore I also decide to switch to 12/12 hours of light/darkness now in order to induce flowering. I change the program of the Growfor.Life-Closet from the standard-grow-mode (=18 hours of light per day) to the custom-flowering-program (12/12 hours of light, where I can choose the time when the lamps turn on). Now the plants will grow slower until they start to flower. I LOVE THE Growfor.Life-Closet, its sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL and soooooooooooooooo SILENT, a landmark technical development in my opinion! This is growing made stealthy and effortless, GROWING OF THE 21st CENTURY!

Flower are still thickening up with each passing day. Trichomes are starting to look more and more milky, but there are still a considerable amount of clear trichomes. The densest trichome coverage I’ve seen on a plant in person. Ever cola had filled up nicely and it gives off the scent of grape candy and rubber. Some minor N and cal def symptoms here and there, but I’m feeding heavy, flushing, and giving microbes regularly so I’m not concerned at all. Overall the plant is very healthy. Feed pH 6.6, EC TBD.

(Monday) Trichomes are milky so flush week will commence. I’ll do a week of Florakleen only to get rid of any salts and nutrients in the root base and then just pure ph’d water for final week. Not rushing this as I wasn’t super happy with my last grow of Zkittlez because of my cure. (Thursday) Posted a pic of the first “dark and curly” as I like to call the amber trichomes. Smell has really shifted to a sweet, berry scent. The first time I’ve smelt weed like that.

The preflower stretch has been incomparable to any Soil grow I've seen! These sativas already caught up and don't show any signs of slowing down.

Welcome friends to week 14. 8/6-12. I did defoilation last week of most of the feeder leaves. The goddesses let you know what they want and dont want. When I was defoliating, if the leaf was hesitant in coming off, don’t force it, because it will bring part of the bud with it.That being said, I have 3 small buds that came off during trim. Close up pics above. I have these drying on a fruit bowl in the kitchen and will give CBG a try in about 2 weeks. 8/6 No water today. Adjusting to yesterday’s defoliation, outside time and fertilization. This is day 106 since popping the soil on April 17. Based on the last auto flowers I grew, I anticipate these will be ready to harvest at the end of 2 weeks (Aug 19-20). I don’t know how long it takes for trichomes to start turning amber but I see almost 100% milky, just no amber yet. 8/7 I’m pushing an extra day without water and not running humidifier. This is pushing VPD higher into the excess range. I read that this stress can motivate the plant to make bigger buds. Harvest time will determine if that’s so. 8/8 Ferigate 3 gallons using TPS1 23.75ml, Signal 9.5ml, EC 1.19, PPM 820, ph 7.5. I only gave them 1 ½ liters each today. 8/9 No water. Still not seeing amber trichomes. How long will it take? 8/10 light fertilize today. 3 gallons with 15 ml TPS1, 7.5 ml Signal. Each received 1 gallon. They were in the tub so all run off went down the drain and I didn't get measurements. There was a summer storm today so I utilized the time to go thru more boxes. Interesting items that I came across: 1 grandmother's notes for colorizing black white photos. She won awards for this process. 2 grandfather's attestation to the US State land department on the improvements made on the homestead acreage. State confirmed improvements. The official land rights posted above. 3 1928 cook book Women of the Presbyterian Church. Shown is a recipe for cooking 'possum. Good old southern cooking. Recipe by my great grandfather. I'll check the book for any that might be really yummy. 8/11 no water. More hair tufts forming 8/12 ferigate today. Prepared 3 gallons TPS1 23.75 ml, signal 15 ml, cal mag 15 ml, ppm 794, ph 6.59 ****** From the emergence of women in the workforce after the depression ad WWI, women in business were the secretaries and clerks. A woman’s place was in the home. My grandmother, father and mother were all high achievers in their careers, and interests. All won awards for their achievements in work activities, teaching, and arts. This type A behavior was instilled in me from the start. In everything I did I had to be my best. I worked a variety of jobs from jewelry sales to office clerical during high school and college. Attending school and working at the same time and maintaining straight A’s is typical A behavior. I started picking up industrial psychology courses and some business. When I got into accounting, my male accounting professor said I was really good and I should consider it. The economics of business was changing. Women were breaking the glass ceiling in large corporations with more women were becoming CEO's of big corporations. So, I changed my major of study in college from science to business and accounting. I entered a difficult field. Once out of college, I started in the accounting field and remained in the same career for over 35 years. I did not have the desire to travel the world so I remained in Tidewater. My career began as an accountant responsible for payroll and accounts payable at a hospital, then went into banking. From there, I entered government accounting and finance. Over the years, I was promoted from staff accountant to manager, then director of financial reporting at Tidewater Community College (TCC). Interestingly, I came across my mom’s college yearbook. She attended Teachers College of Connecticut (TCC). My mom began her teaching career in college, and I ended my career while working in higher education. What a coincidence! My need for perfection is causing stress and anxiety since I’m having difficulties. Even though I followed the TPS1 autoflower weekly recommendations, I still overfed. This caused nutrient lock out for which I flushed with no nutrients for 3 weeks. Once I resumed 1/4-1/2 strength the required solution, I started seeing new white pistils in the existing buds. Thanks for stopping by. Your likes and comments are appreciated. Have a great week, enjoy your smoke and have fun 👍.

It's been a journey. I have been growing this longer than most of my plants because I really wanted to get big. It filled in nicely after a lot of topping and FIMing. A couple issues with pH sent me back at the end but it was ok. I'm really excited to try this cheese strain since I don't think I've grown another cheese strain before. Overall I would definitely say this was a good plan to grow. 💚🌱✌️

Hey guys! Another update! 😃 This week is going to be the last one that I feed the plants and after that I'm going to just flush them for just one week. I took photos during the middle of the week just to see how trichomes were developing and there are more ambar! I want the top colas to be about 50% ambar and 50% cloudy while the ones below 30% ambar and 70% cloudy and I think I'll be able to reach that with ease. Besides that this week was relaxing, no big issues! And I've been removing more fan leaves so when the right moment arrive it'll be easier to clean the plant! And that way I can get some extra development in lower colas. The smell is strong now compared to other weeks (it's been getting stronger every week!) 😲 PD: The question is still up! In case anyone knows what could've happened 😱 Thanks for reading! 👋

Day 50 She is drinking 3 liters every 3 days. Noticed the tips are slightly nute burn so have lowered the nutrients slightly. Bud sites filling in and swelling nicely. Very frosty. Swapped big bud for overdrive.

What a journey it was growing this plant. I flowered the full 16 weeks. I should have known It would not be easy to do indoors. I would not have expected to get such large dense colas from the plant I vegged. The amount of stretch was crazy in flower. And the fact that all the nodes filled in with buds makes this a really good plant for yield. This was my highest-yielding plant so far. I was able to train her just right so I didn't run out of space but that is one of the main considerations for growing this plant. She does not like to be too hot. Anything over 78 F and she was getting stressed. Was growing alongside two other 8-week strains that favored the conditions fine when it got above 80 a few days . Rained 3 weeks in a row and the humidity was very high I got some bud rot the last few days of flower only on the biggest colas. I lost 1/5 of the harvest but still managed a very good yield. The smell is piny, herbal and flowery and when smoke almost doesn't taste like cannabis but like some herbal smoke. It is also some of the smoothest weed I've smoked. The high is also very unique and while there is a little bit of a body high it feels more like a reverberation from the intense head high. Will make you productive and alert and focused. High lasts about 2 hours. But I still need to cure. I hope the trippy comes out more with time. Lost 100 grams to bud rot but good news I still jarred 17.4 ounces of trimmed good stuff. I burned the bad stuff and the trim in my fire pit and got a contact high at least. Hope I never have to do that again. Trimming took 6 hours. I started by bucking down the hangers and carefully inspecting inside every bud and sat aside anything that was even suspected of bud rot. I trimmed and jarred once's up as i went as try to to keep things from getting as contaminated as possible. Once i was done through that i went though the suspect buds and removed the good bits and have in a separate jar just for myself to smoke out the bong asap. and burned the bad stuff in the fire pit. If I see it start to turn bad I'm just going to toss it. No need to be smoking moldy buds. The rot really only affected the tops of the biggest colas in the center. Had I not suffered the bud rot the yield would have been 21 ounces! Was going to mark the final yield based on what was good but that damn auto flower mutant I just grew messed my yield ratio up lol , and I technically grew the bud I just can't smoke it, and that is its potential for the conditions I gave it. So i am counting it as 21. I feel like If I did it again perfectly I could get 2.5 due to the fact i still have quite a bit of space I could have stretched into. While she did stretch a lot from mid to late flower it's not as much as I expected and I had a little more room that I could have veged another week or two. I really though it was going to be to the ceiling with tall skinny lanky buds So i flipped to flower I few weeks later than I had with my other grows. I was not expecting these cannon buds. Seem's like having the lights a the top of the tent and having them as powerful as they can be without any extra stress or harm to the plants decide where they need to stretch to and find the sweet spot themselves. After curing for 17 months I needed to make room for nee stuff so decided to gave pressing this stuff into rosin another try with pretty good results! I tried to upload pictures but not working wt the moment but I got over 15 percent yield which was way better than when it was fresh. I re-moistened the buds overnight in a container with a screen and a damp towel at the bottom and seemed to help a lot. A lot of the terps has faded ad aged but I think i had a nice pleasant mellow pine earthy flavor. The dabs hit you a little harder and faster than the flower which is nice.

Ultima limpieza de bajos, y a florecer!! las plantas presentas 3 fenotipos, pero 3-4 características diferentes, algunas no ramifican apenas, algunas mucho y otras lo normal, Las de porte grande y robusto tienen un espacio entre nudos entre 6-7cm, pero sus ramas no cogen un vigor muy alto. luego hay otro fenotipo mas pequeño con espacios entre nudos de 4cm que si tienen gran vigor sus ramas. y otras que son como una mezcla entre las dos.
