-Was excited to see roots shoot out basket during the beginning of the week. Then some major root growth throughout the week. -Noticed some brownish coloring on roots, thought root rot or nutrient sludge? Found out, through advanced nutrients, organic nutrients will leave a brown tinge. -pH finally where it should be. Still using GH pH testing kit to measure so no exact number. Based on their chart, yellow 6.0 -Leaves look a lighter green then I'm thinking it should be. Will add a little more nutrients during next water change in couple days. -Humidity still low! Running a temporary humidifier I already had outside closet door. Brought up humidity by 15%, but still only measuring 35% at it's highest. -Started playing music for plant about 30min/day, also talk to it a few times a day. Anyone else do this? -Disappointed in sludge build up, and mild/strong fish smell during first half of the week after water change as AN claims otherwise for this nutrient. Growth looks great besides that. -Lots of growth this 2nd week, very exciting to see, both above and below deck.

Pink Certz is ripening slowly but surely and she is nutrient depleted lol. She is looking very nice with deep coloration almost a black color. Her scent is lingering around the outside and inside of the house with a sweet, fruity, candy and minty smell! Lowered light intensity from 60% to 50%, cut hours from 12/12 to 11/13 and stopped supplementing UV light a week ago. Been feeding only water and Flawless Finish once a week for two weeks so I’m hoping by next week she is ripe enough to harvest.

the weather forecast says 2 weeks of rain, it will be a challenge to keep the humidity low in the house and of course in the growbox.

Daily watering is done either 4 hours after the plant wakes up or 4 hours before it goes to sleep. My photoperiod is from 6 a.m. until midnight, which means I water either at 10 a.m. or 8 p.m. When it gets bigger, I plan to water at both times to ensure good root oxygenation. Even when it's small, I use a raw ppm (parts per million) reading. From the beginning, I calibrate it to a minimum of 800 ppm and increase it according to the plant's growth. I maintain the pH at 5.8 throughout the entire cycle. Watering is done with 200ml of solution, and the runoff is checked daily. If the ppm rises too much, I perform a flush. This week, the soil's ppm was already reaching almost 700, so I did a flush with 500ml of pure water and calibrated pH. Soon, I will begin pruning, considering Topping, LST, and Lollipoping. OBS: I have been adding H2O2 to the waterings to prevent gnats and unwanted pests.

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed! Check www.mars-hydro.com for the latest discounts! Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting us try out your light, it made this successful grow possible! Greetings and all the best! Thank you to our friends here, our followers and the whole Growing Diaries community for just being there. Big Hug, Sunshine and BioBuds

Week 5 has been a breeze! Going into week 6 we are seeing a lot of great things. The buds are starting to get nice and tight and thick which is so awesome! Every is SUPER sticky thanks to the Bud Factor X. Watering has stayed the same generally. Definitely need to work on our trimming for next flower as there is a lot of lower spots that are super small and not getting much love. We are still learning though! Going into week 6 we will have to create some structures for a few of these branches. The buds are gaining weight and a few branches are becoming a little top heavy.

Hey, fellow growers! Week 4 is complete, and as you can see, the ladies are thriving beautifully! ‘Sleepy Joe’ is already developing a lovely purple hue, and the terpenes are giving off a delicious minty, orange aroma. So far, everything has gone smoothly—Living Soil is doing its job perfectly, and I’m definitely sticking with it for all my future grows. If you have any questions about the products I use, feel free to reach out!

This is the last week! Love how this tent smells and looks. I’ve been in debate about upgrading my lights. I’m using 3 450w viparspectras and I think they look great but I keep hearing that better lights produce better quality and yields. Also thinking that next run ill be using coco instead of ocean Forrest. One thing I’ve noticed is that even with vegging them for 8 weeks the stalks never really got thick. I’m wondering if that’s because I go from sooo cup to 3gallon and that’s the final home. Or if it’s the medium or poor spectrum in bloom. 🤔🤔🤔 soo many questions 😂 thanks for watching everyone!!!

10.06.25 BT#41 Guten Abend liebe Growmie's ✌️ Da bin ich wieder mit der Caramba von Paradise Seeds. Wir befinden uns am Blütetag 41 der Lady geht es sehr gut die Buds nehmen Form an. Heute gab es wieder Nährstoffe Hesi Blüh Complex 5ml/L, Hesi Phosphor Plus 2,5ml/L, Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. Ihre Wasser Aufnahme hat sich deutlich erhöht. Ab BT# 45 werde ich alle Nährstoffe langsam runter fahren das ich die letzte Woche nur noch Ph angeglichenes Wasser verabreiche. Dann geht es für 2 Tage in die Dunkelkammer danach Erfolgt der Cut🙂 Fand den Grow sehr sehr entspannt definitiv ein Strain für Beginner der euch einiges verzeihen wird , sehr resistent gegen Krankheiten oder Schädlingsbefall. Jetzt geht es langsam in die Heiße Phase ab BT#50 wird das Taschenmicroskope gezückt die Tricome mal abchecken und immer regelmäßiger schauen wie sie sich verändern. Jetzt freuen wir uns auf die nächste Woche mit neuen Updates bleibt Gesund and Stay high. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 😁 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 10.06.25 BT#41 Good evening dear Growmie's ✌️ Here I am again with Caramba from Paradise Seeds. We are now on day 41 of flowering and the lady is doing very well, with the buds taking shape. Today she received nutrients again Hesi Bloom Complex 5ml/L, Hesi Phosphor Plus 2.5ml/L, Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. Her water intake has increased significantly. Starting with BT# 45, I will slowly reduce all nutrients so that I only administer pH-adjusted water during the last week. Then it's off to the darkroom for 2 days, followed by the cut 🙂. I found the grow very, very relaxed. Definitely a strain for beginners that will forgive you a lot, very resistant to disease or pest infestation. Now we are slowly entering the hot phase. From BT#50, we will pull out the pocket microscope to check the trichomes and look more and more regularly to see how they are changing. Now we are looking forward to next week with new updates. Stay healthy and stay high. May all your ladies grow healthy and magnificent and provide you with tasty stuff 😁

Week 9 over This week the stretching totally came to an end so we can say she has officially entered her bulking phase. The buds are stacking up nicely and her drinking has increased a bit. I’m going in for a light defoliation and lollipoping to increase air circulation and redirect light where it will be needed the most. She smells delightful, some of the hairs are changing color but it’s a sign of maturity not ripening She still has some weeks to go⏱️ Week 10 here we come 👊🏾 Happy growing guys 💚

Have had some challenges this week. In my lack of experience, I have struggle to discern whether my plant is deficient in nutrients, suffering lockout or approaching harvest. Symptoms were yellowing leaves... The cause of which can be, of course, many different things. I decided to flush last week, thinking that a nutrient lockout was most likely. Leaves less yellow this week so think it may have done the trick. I have spent some time researching and considering flushing as a technique to improve final bud quality. I have decided that there simply isn't enough evidence to deny my girl of nutrients at a critical phase of her growth. I am therefore continuing a reduced feeding schedule of - 1mls topmax - 2mls BioBloom - 1 scoop biosys ecothrive - 2.5mls Cannazym. And, unless indicated otherwise, will continue with this schedule up until harvest. Today I have tested PPM of the run off and measure it to be approx 1050ppm. I will measure again in 24 hours to monitor change after a feed. Purchased a 60x microscope and am able to see that 90% of trichomes are still clear. I am therefore anticipating at least another couple of weeks before harvest. Buds look fluffier than I'd like, but resin and trichome production haven't disappointed. I'm hoping that over the next few weeks the buds will continue to fatten. 19/11/2021 - Day 79. Have a few days off so have managed to catch some photos in day light. Have also uploaded a video. Feel that she isn't particularly happy... But on the other hand, she is showing the resistance and ability to adapt to less than ideal growing conditions; as promised by the strain genetics. Plenty of trichs, plenty of resin, plenty of buds. Just need them to fatten and fill out for maximum yield and quality. 23/11/21 - Day 83 - Still some deficiencies but she doesn't seem to be using much water so reluctant to feed at risk of overwatering. Noticing lots of new pistil formation. Looking frosty, but all trichomes still clear. Temperatures dropping to around 2°c overnight here. Managing to maintain temperatures around 10°c in the shed. Appreciate that this is too cold for growth but she seems to be coping with it well. I think that a gradual reduction in temperature has been tolerated better than fluctuant or sudden drops would be. Fingers crossed that her hardy nature keeps her strong. Fed today: 1mls BioBloom 2mls Topmax Half scoop Biosys Ecothrive Filtered water - pH 6.5, TDS 320 Run off 953 TDS 29/11/21 - Day 90 - no sign of any amber yet. Still mostly clear with a splattering of cloudy. Really worrying about the night time temps now and holding out hope that it doesn't die off before the trichomes mature.

En su primer dia en el sistema ya podemos ver como aparecen los brotes de estas semas! vamos a ve cómo evoluciona de cara a la primer semana en el sistema. En menos de 24hs ya abrieron las primeras dos, solo falta una que se muestre a la luz! El 21 de marzo apareció con ganas de vivir la ultima semana que faltaba! El 22 de marzo al 5to dia en el sistema ya se puede apreciar la leve diferencia de fenotipos y la vigorosidad entre ellas, apuesto a que este cultivo va a ser diverso y lleno de aprendizaje.

High GD community, Week 29, All i harvested was much to early, and had some mold in there while drying, so yield is very low. These popcorns i let go an other week, so i get i tiny taste of the real taste. The tiny buds got much more fat these last 2 weeks, and aroma is getting intenser but not stinky. Little video of my 2 friends playing in the warm greenhouse. Both 9 years old and inseparable.

Week3 this third week was not easy. I went crazy from the pruning I did the week before. I chose to do it at the beginning of flowering so that the main bunches and branches were more exposed to light. and of course maybe I've been stressing the little one but now entering the 4th week she seems to be recovering. maybe I'm just tripping but it seems to have slowed down a bit. what scares me is how slow the buds take to grow and get fat. Warning!! I can't forget that the strain is fast flowering !! let's see how it goes...
