It's been a fairly uneventful week in the 5x5. I cut down my Blackberry auto the other day and I've been thinking of getting seeds ready for the stuff I plan to grow outside this summer...With my currents cycle of plants being deep in to flower, I have time to look forward at upcoming projects. The Mimosa cake auto is one of those plants currently deep into flower. She's been giving off a dank smell of earthy/fruity/spicy terps. She is extremely dense and sticky to the touch. I find myself cutting fan leaves off daily due to her busy and stout stature. The only down side I have to her is the fact that she's going to take around 100 days from germination to harvest. Process/ Environment changes: - Turned off one TS1000 after I cut down the Blackberry auto. I did this to try and cool the tent down. Higher temps outside creates an increase I'm ambient air temp in my basement. - Fed Advanced Nutrients Bloom nutes at a rate of 1.5 mL/gal - no longer using a fish tank water heater to heat my water reservoir due to increased ambient air temperatures in basement Trichomes still mostly clear... I'm on day 84 post germination today as I write this.

I would give this strain an average rating. Nothing great nor bad. I have had both better and worse strains.

Day 65. Boy oh boy how i am happy, that i don't give a f@ck about this harvest ... I have golden rule - don't grow inside during summer ! And thats why ... Last days temps was reaching 34-36 inside !!! Humidity everywhere and heat stress pushed nitrogen excess even further, some top buds will be all in foxtails with slim shitty , leafy buds around ... Was terrible heat wave and i couldn't hold it, some strains took it way easier, but that one with unlove to N - is a sad picture .... So now i don't know what to do, feed them or not .... Its like Hamlets grow, constant to be or not to be questions around ... P.S. have to admit, that i was stupid enough and gave them lite worm castings tea, 180 ppm only, but i guess it had loads of N inside, my normal outdoor plants loved it, so i thought it should be good for my girls aswell ... WRONG ;))) Now i have like 8 overdosed with N plants, which are bigger than average and i have the rest, which would love more food, cal mag especially, and proper PK boost ... Totally lost, how stupid is to put random strains in one pot, very very very stupid ... More stupid is to play with sick plants , they where almost recovered from N toxicity .. Me and my desire to do it a bit better ... ;)))) Update 2 : i found what is wrong, those plants looked like reveging more, than heat and N excess , and .... when i was lifting lights up, one of wires touched timer,in the middle of night - 15 min of day .... Idiot .... Had a feeling to check, but weed laziness whispered me - everything is Ok ;)))))))) Update 3. Got so pissed from my careless, that bought Bluelab Combo, now i will know whats in my soil and i would check lights earlier if i knew that ( hopefully ;)) ) soil is underfed ;))) 200 pounds down ... and pitty harvest waiting ;(((( At least next one will be with full guns ! Sweet seeds strains, new ventilation system (nearest future upgrade) and now - full control over soil. New pot drain trays bought aswell ... Grower still the same tho .... ;))))))))) Day 67. First hermie found. This plant was tallest, so i had to supercrop it, maybe its was too many things just for this plant, anyway "Watchout" series 24/7 ... Lights changed to 11.5 day - 12.5 night. Craziest run ever .... Day 70. BlueLab Combo Plus arrived. Ph 6.2-6.4 - perfect, but no food tho. So today full feed watering, ph 6.5, ppm 800. This freakshow makes my heading, yesterday my holiday destination quarantined my country, so holidays are gone, could start new run now even and put them all to hash. Next week will show - if they recover , ill finish them, still issues - bubble hash time !!! ;))) Happy growing !!!

The transfer was a success! Went from a 5’ x 4’ Scrog to 8’ x 8’ and gave them a 40 Gal drink of water. Also was able to drop the taller ladies to have an even canopy.

Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Flowering Plants)- This week both Raspberry Ripple phenos in the flower room, began to build their nugs! I was very impressed at how quickly they both began to form nugs, I noticed the flowering begining on day 11! The number 2 Pheno is looking average and she didn't fill out the trellis net quite as good her sister strain, however she seems to be going strong! The number 1 Pheno is really impressing me, it really filled out it's canopy and sports branches and a stalk nearly twice as thick as the number 2. It has also already began to form purple flower. Any pictures of the flowers that I've seen from this Mosca (x) Tiki Madman colab online, have been rich, purple phenotypes with chunky nugs; so I welcome the purple flowers. I suppose the increased anthocyanin production in the number 1 Pheno could be stress related, from the stalk split or the other accident it had in the veg tent, that knocked a branch off. However this plant seems very happy praying every day since the flip! So it doesn't worry me as much as it could! I went ahead and gave a little more top dress Build a Flower to get them through the stacking/ bulking phase. I prefer a "less is more" approach in the smaller pots im currently using so I amend less quantity but more frequently throughout flower. Ive got the lights up to 80% power (320 Watts) Stay tuned, I have a feeling these nugs are about to 🚀 Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Clones)- The Number One Pheno's clones have all been topped. The Number 2's will probably be topped next week; when they are about 10-12 inches tall. I've been getting good branch growth on the number 1s since topping. I've still been alternating Silica by Cutting Edge Solutions and Microbe feed (Fish Sh!t and Trinity from Roots Organic) every other watering. My grow-bro who took a clone from one of each phenotype, has been reporting the ripples are going crazy in his full cycle mushroom naturally soil as well.

Shes budding really hard. I discovered I have minor thrip issues. I'm waiting patiently for nematodes. I've also been spraying em with neem. Seems to be working it does the trick. Hope you enjoy this it's rather large for its container size! Check back in a week! Hopefully it's the right video I posted here. I wish I could see them before saving the diary and having to go in and change it if its wrong.

Las 2 más pequeñas, se adelantan y empiezan a madurar antes que las demás, ya tienen algún pelillo marrón, y sueltan una cantidad de resina increíble. Las más grandes y con cogollos más gordos, empiezan a doblarse, así que voy atando las que no aguantan el peso

Will grow again for sure shout out to @420fastbuds for the strain what a all round great plant!!!!

3/22: I’m really just loving her structure she’s perfect. Can’t wait till I get my Optic 4 XL’s this upcoming week and see what that does to her, I’m starting to see the 1st hairs since flipping....it sucks ordering something and then have to wait a month and a 1/2 For something because it’s extremely back ordered. 3/25: As I keep saying I’m really digging her structure I’m not gonna be really doing much with her until harvest she’s a beast she’s the biggest medicine plant I’ve grown thus far. I finally got the notification of my Optic 4XLs being shipped so now I can get the real growing on and get rid of this cheap Chinese blurple.

Bud sites are becoming more pronounced. Many are already showing trichome crystals week 2 into flowering! I'll have to continue to keep an eye & defoliate as needed to make sure all bud sites receive light.

July 5 - YES! I know, was beautiful.. i've done this for height problems but.... No worry, stay tuned cause she will return more strong than before😜💚

Seeds stared good after sitting in a glass of water overnight and placed directly in rock wool cubes in RDWC buckets. My 1000w MH HID is turned down to 600w and on a light rail mover about 24” above seedlings.

This week we will see the colas and buds really dense up. We are about 2 weeks away from harvest now. Next week I will start my flush.

Looking good pistils coming in but probably won’t touch it too much and prune
