Today: 14.18 hours of light 100.4 °F 58%Rh 1 million of mosquitos I've spent this hot week training these two plants trying to keep them the lower as possible since the two main buds have reached the roof (7.87 ft tall). Cookies Gelato is about 9.50 ft tall. I've applied white plastic net all around the pergola to give them some shade in order to slow down the metabolism. These plants are giant and there is no more space to move around. Asparagus stalks are well formed so this is, hopefully, the last preflowering week. Cookies is hungry and some bottom fan leaves start to show chlorosis but the top/mid canopy is plenty of natural nitrogen. During these last weeks I've watered them with 4-5 gallons each, leaving the soil to dry for 2/3 days, they seem to love this scheme. Also, the fact of not having pluck away even a leaf made these plants big and extremely vigorous. Tomorrow I will create a roof with clear plastic rolls as the nighttime humidity begins to increase and some summer thunderstorms are on the horizon.

Sooo! Now i started the mainlining... what a bad feeling it was chopping her down! :( But i guess its a bad for a good (you get the idea of the expression..) So I will clone the little side branches from the top apex to get some more babies, but i won't be very much focusing on them since the girls i want to show for the contest, are the two mother plants. I did a small video, hope its gonna be viewable. Sorry for the pics taken under the grow light... The plant that i topped and bent, got some light leave changes, if anyone is commun with those symptomes plz leave a comment to teach me right :) Keep the growing going! Dearest L_C.

🌈 🍨 😍😋🌞 🌈 🍨 😍😋🌞 🌈 🍨 😍😋🌞 🌈 🍨 😍😋🌞 🌈 🍨 😍😋🌞 I have no words, just that the smell is so sweet, like an ice-cream shop, and walnut. 🤤 Test bud was so good right after drying! 😬 Trichomes are cloudy, I will chop this week. So happy! 😍😌 I have been gifted by the universe once again. 🙏 I had to support all the branches now. 🍨 DAY 96 I harvested my beautiful Caramelo girl. 😍 ✨ Just took off the bigger leaves, and a few sugar leaves, my room is quite warm so no complete trim. The buds look so amazing, they are rock hard, glittery and have those bright orange pistils alongside the dark purple colors. Sigh. 😊 Drying in cardboard boxes now, I usually hang two branches in a box, with air holes. And I have one box with a net chucked inside, for the smaller parts. No popcorn with the Caramelo. 😋 Took me half an hour to trim her. After 5 days, I will put the nuggets in a jar to check the remaining humidity. I will leave the jar closed for 12h and then check. If the humidity has risen above 70%, the nugs will be put in a salad bowl to dry over night. If it's below 70% I will leave them in the jar and open it once in a while.. trying to keep humidity above 60% and below 70% for 2 weeks. 😎 Thank you so much for your company, friends!! It's so much better to grow in a community! 💚 Lighting a vape on you!! 😘 💚 🤤 💚 🤤 💚 🤤 💚 🤤 💚 🤤 💚 🤤 Have a great week!! 😘 __________________________________________________ SET UP 240W Fullspectrum LED 660nm 730nm 3500K dimmable custom exhaust fan 270/320 m³/h 3x Garden High Pro fans 5W tap water EC 0,25 - adding Calmag to EC 0,4-0,6 - adding pH minus Bloom (AHH) to pH 6,5

Im happy to start another growing experience with my new equipments 😍

Man this week has been taking forever, my theory is it will only get slower relative to harvest just because my excitement. I top dressed with about 2 inches of worm castings with an eyeballed mix of 2tbps of bone meal (3-14-0, bloom fert.), 1.5-2tbps of Gaia green all purp.(4-4-4, I don’t have an actual potassium fert. Like leingbenite So I use this), 3tbps of dr earth kelp meal (1-.05-2 has many different vitamins, amino acids, carbohydrates) and 2tbps of mykos (for microbiology inoculation and nutrient uptake/upkeep). So I every time I water I have this old 2gallon water tin that I usually fill up about a quarter to half way full. Using this amount of water and the 5 gallon bucket of my soil mix makes my watering schedule once every 3 days (on average). I do use bottle nutrients but it’s mainly for the supplementing. For feeding I use 2-3ml to half a gallon for all bottle nutrients, I have never gone over, and I have never had deficiency’s that can hinder plant development. Deficiency's: PSA: Now if anyone happens to read and actually look at my plants please do look closely and maybe let me know if you see something that I have missed since I’m still very new. I noticed my plant was having a cal mag issue so that’s why I top dressed with worm castings, I also top dressed with about 3tbps of azomite (I feel using azomite it may help with all those unnoticeable deficiency’s that a new grower might miss). I’ve been noticing on some of the leaves the very tips are showing discoloring, since the color is still so vibrant mostly I can rule out nitrogen, phosphorus, Iron, manganese, and sulphuric. It’s still very early stage so I did an extremely light foliage feeding (in the dark to prevent UV damage) of 2ml of big bud, big bloom, and tiger bloom, mixed into half a liter of water, I then emptied the spray bottle and sprayed with tap water just to make sure there’s no nute burning. Today I fed the plant through water amendments with 3ml of big bud, 3ml of bud candy, 3ml of big bloom, and 2ml of tiger bloom;(my theory is hopefully the nutrient deficiency’s will go away) My soil mix is pretty basic. 40% coco, 10% perlite, 10% well composted chicken manure, 20% black gold compost, 20% worm castings. I’m not going to put the fertilizer amendment percentage to be honest I eye ball it but there’s a rough general measurements that I do.

Not much really to report, the 2 seeds took 3 days to pop up- Still nothing from the 3rd BUT it also didn't crack open in water while germinating.. SO 2/3 aint bad. I will be waiting a few days and transplanting these autos into 3 gallon pots and put on 12/12 :) 2019.12.29 third one didn't pop up, kept trying and decided to give up! stoked about these girls, they are thriving in my tent.

Shame on me… habe den taupunkt am morgen deutlich unterschätzt. Täglich steigt die LF phasenweise bis auf 95%. Solar ist praktisch, Zelt darf aber nicht draußen stehen! Der grow hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht, trotz einiger kleiner Fehler und Unachtsamkeiten meinerseits! Die Damen sind super und werden wieder in den Stock zurückkehren, konnte sie leider nicht voll bis zum Ende bringen ca 2 Wochen zu früh. Nächste mal weniger Pflanzen oder mehr entlauben und mehr umlauft dazu. Komme vom outdoor Growen und habe enorm viel Neues kennengelernt! Banana’s & painkiller XL sind noch im Spiel ohne jeglichen Schaden oder Betroffene stellen von Schimmel. 🐝

What's up fellow growmies!!! I hope all of your grows are going well. Friday July 8th marked week #6 for my babies (Week #3 for White Widow #3), they all are doing very well at this point. It is week 2 really of flowering and I believe they have finally stopped stretching. The buds are really starting to develop. I really have not changed up much other than the amount of nutrients that I am feeding them. I have decided that instead of 1/3rd of the manufacturers recommended dosage, I would move to giving them 1/2 of the recommended. They all are luscious and green and show no signs of nutrient burn. I just low stressed trained White Widow #3 I waited a bit late to do it so I am eager to see how well she does especially being that she should start pre-flowering in 2 weeks. The humidity is getting harder to keep in the range I want, mainly due to the amount of foliage in the tent. I probably should do some light defoliation however I'm one to let them fall off as the plant uses the nutrients and the leaf wilts away on its own. Caramelicious is doing well, I planted her with the rest 5/28/22 however she is a photoperiod and has been vegging going on 2 months now. I plan on flipping the light schedule to 12/12 after all of my Autos finish, which according to the info provided on the strains should be around the first or second week in September. So she should have a good 3 months of vegging under her belt. I probably should have gone bigger with the pot size as I have her in a 5 gallon. I know I could flip the light schedule now due to the other ones being autos so they won't be impacted too much. However this seed comes from my last harvest, where the mother turned Hermie on me and pollinated itself. So according to genetics once I flip this one probably should Hermie as well, however I have to see it on my own. I'm hoping it doesn't. I have White Widow #3 and Caramelicious on the same feeding schedule, I am feeding them an aggressive vegetation mixture of general hydroponics flora trio series, which calls for 3 ml of flora grow (green) 2 ml of flora macro (brown/burgundy) and 1 mil of flora bloom (pink) per gallon. I mix it into 2 gallon sprayer which means they are actually getting half of the recommended dosage. Big Bud Auto #1, #2 and White Whidow #1 and #2 are on the same schedule I am feeding them an aggressive bloom mixture, 1 mil of flora grow, 2 mil of flora macro and 3 mil of flora bloom I found that 2 liters of water is the sweet spot for this stage of growth. I plan on kicking it up to 3 liters per plant in the next week or 2. The pot size varies between 3 and 5 gallons and I have WW # 2 in a 1 gallon pot, surprisingly it is not showing any signs that the pot is too small and in fact is thriving.

Week 9 marks a turning point for the grow. The main plants are deep into flower now, with dense buds that glisten under the HPS light. Their smell is intoxicating, filling the room with the rich, sweet aroma that hints at the potency to come. Even the late bloomer has stepped up its game. While it’s still behind the others, it’s finally entering full flower, its smaller buds beginning to form. It’s got a unique charm, and I can’t help but root for it—sometimes the underdog ends up stealing the show. The grow room feels like it’s nearing its peak. The plants are massive now, with thick branches bending under the weight of their buds. Every day brings new changes, and I can see the finish line getting closer. The hard work is paying off, and I can’t wait to see how these beauties turn out in the final weeks.

This is the first week of the plants being above soil, we did lose one but we are germinating another to replace that. I think the one we lost was due to heat stress, the others are holding up pretty well, there is another one that showed signs of heat stress, we just moved it a little deeper in the tent and it seems to be doing okay.

She lost faith around week 6 of flower. My own fault but didn't damage her to much. Look forward to the cure. They've had their 2 days of darkness and all hanging on 60/60. Will look back in 5 days to see where we're at 🌱💚

Good strain, strong strain and good grow. Regular seed ended up as a female which was my wish. Happy 😁. The yields were more than I expected. Came in 100g give or take on the scale as wet weight. Did a little bit of trimming on some of the buds, but will see how it goes during drying and curing. Great great genetics and Strain.

So this marks the end of the 5th week and start of the 6th. Should I be topping it now or give it another week? Some of the leaves look a bit sad and droopy, is that from lack nutrients or over/under water? Over all I'm surprised I've kept it alive so long and that its going well. I have a new light coming, ViparSpectra p1000 100w and some food as well ADVANCED NUTRIENTS PH PERFECT BLOOM GROW MICRO. Help and hints always welcome!

Flower Stage Start 1/8/23 You can follow me with Facebook or Instagram For See everything in my farm 💚💛❤️ Thank you everyone. for following and watching ☺️🙏

Last week of flower complete. This grow was a good learning experience. I'm ready to start my next batch of seeds later this week. Also I will be harvesting this plant today and when it dries I will make one final update to showcase the flowers. Thanks for joining me, see you next grow!
