Hello Growmies, The final chapter of this incredible journey has unfolded, and it's time to share the bountiful harvest and reflections on the entire cultivation process. Trimming the plant was a joy, and with gentle fingers, I removed all the large fan leaves. The precision in this process revealed the true beauty of the buds, setting the stage for a smooth harvest. With care and gratitude, the plant was chopped, and the buds were hung to dry. The anticipation for what lies ahead only adds to the sense of accomplishment. The wet weight, excluding fan leaves, stands at an impressive 782 grams. The buds are massive, a testament to the efficacy of the nutrients used, particularly the Power Buds. The name seems apt, as the result is a collection of sticky, dense buds with subtle lemon notes and sweet pungent undertones. In the final moments, the plant unveiled some delightful purple hues. While I wish I could have allowed them to intensify further, it's a reminder that each grow is a learning experience. In hindsight, a slightly longer fading period would have accentuated those beautiful colors. We live and learn, and that's the essence of this journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron and Zamnesia for hosting this amazing contest. The quality of the products and the support throughout the journey have been invaluable. As this chapter concludes, I'm left with a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for the collective experience we've shared. The plant's growth, from seed to harvest, has been a testament to the art and science of cultivation. Feel free to check out my other adventures in my bigger environments, until then...happy growing! Stay Lifted Salokin

Day 56 - She grew 8cm taller this week. Lots and lots of flower sites forming 😍 Day 56 - Tent configuration changed: 4x more CREE CXB3590's have been added and 4x blurple LED things removed. Lights now consist of 8x CXB3590's & 1x 1000W HID with flower bulb.

Day 36 1/18/22 - Doubled in height last week! raised lights 7 inches above manufacturer recommendation. Gonna try to stretch the ladies a bit this week. I feel I have the watering part down as I water slowly and (now) I feel the bottom of the cloth pots to make sure I got it down all the way. Day 37 - a little more LST as I was late to the party of understanding just how important LST, and other techniques, are to increasing your yield. Once you do LST the first time it becomes completely obvious that this is necessary. Plants now need water at different times so I will no longer be documenting when I water. Also I think I correctly diagnosed a wind burn issue and therefore have raised the offending fan a bit. Day 39 - Noticing a little yellowing on some of the leaf tips and found a little more of what I'm calling wind burn on another plant. I moved one of the fans, set the lights back to 75% intensity, and lowered them back to about 20 inches above tops (Mars says 18 inches). I think the ladies will like this better than 3 Mars TS1000's at full intensity inside a 4x4x66 tent (450W total). Note - I'm struggling a bit with temps in this small room. Hard to keep the tent under 80. Then at night the substrate gets down to 66 along with the room temps. So, during the day, when it gets too warm inside the tent, I open the doors and things are OK again. This is not a long term solution cause I can't be opening and closing it every day. Plus it's winter and the outside temps go into the 20's (F) at night. Run the AC in winter? No way. I can't imagine what I'll have to do when outside temps go into the upper 90's every day. So what is the long term solution you say? I've just about made up my mind to do away with the tents and dedicate the entire room for growing. I see myself growing 12 of the same or similar ladies per grow - one grow at a time and I can only fit these if the tents go. I'm currently figuring out what is involved besides grabbing an AC unit and venting it and the room up into the attic. That is what I'm thinking at the moment. Day 41 - upped my game cause I knew that I could not be accurate using my current ph testing solution. Could only get kinda close maybe sorta. So I picked up a BlueLab PH pen (recommended by the "420 Scene"). Long story short it looks like I've been feeding the ladies something near 7.0. Now I am able to get 6.3 or 6.4 consistently. Maybe I want to be at 6.5. Not sure so I'm going for 6.3 +/- 1 for now. Hoping they like it better! Day 42 - life is good. This was a fun week!

You gnat to do what you gnat to do.

Really enjoyed this grow, improved a lot compared to my previous grow. Love all the colors on these buds. Will update when dried and weighed Final outcome was just a little over 100grams, very happy with the outcome and a pleasant smoke! Will update further when cured

Tough going first few weeks going to look close on the postmortem for the roots and see if I can tell what was causing the issues with Phos, Ca, Mg lockouts. Foliar saved the day Was very disappointed in the germination rate which caused delays in grow cycle and threw off my whole grow system. It forced me into 7 gallon pots to try and save the yield and THAT may be where the issues arose with the pots, I had to use another bin of soil for the extra soil. Still I should have known better and just stuck with the 5 gallon pots but was trying to get yield. Worked too on Layla and Maggie, nothing was going to help the stunting on Brandy which I dropped from the grow. So 60% germination is not acceptable unless its tomatoes... Dont get me wrong though, this strain has a LOT of good qualities, it not only survived my foul up but produced one excellent plant and one monster out of the three that germed. May try it again next year, think it would be stellar in coco. Beyond that a quality product, just had issues. Easy-ish trim and harvest For numbers on Layla (Week 12) 12/19 HARVEST DAY LAYLA wet yield 578 grams Dry weight 219 grams Maggie wet weight 886 grams Into dry DRY weight 255g Layla 219g + Maggie 255g = 474g Not letting me rate the Aurora Innovations Soul Peak PK and Finisher I give it 4 stars

She is frosty… 25 more days she getting the

Hi all. Plants start to flower, I can smell that, very well :) all looks pretty nice, without burns, I hope they will grow big.

Starting to sugar up a bit 😁, very slight tip burn so calmag'd with 10ml in 6L each, then gave it a good water and this is the day after next fert. They got 10ml of big bud, bud candy, and bud factor x each.

. 🌱 : 💧 : 4l day 49, 4l day 52 0,2mg/l PK 13-14 💡 : Dli: 40 mol/m²/d 🤔 :

Day 56 Flower Day 7 MAg issue seems to have gone away. they are kinda stretching

7/29/2023 - Day 25 veg: still small for her age, but she is starting to pick up some speed. Between a watering issue, and the lack of nutrients in the starter soil, I think that is why I'm off to a slow start. Decided it's time to transplant. Chopped and dropped the earthbox last week, so she is ready to go. Hopefully, the transplant into the Earthbox will help speed up the growth. Overall she looks happy and healthy. For the transplant, I sprinkled Dynomyco on the roots, and watered in with Silica, Calmag, Rootwise Micro Complete, Rootwise Bio-Catalyst, and some Fermented Comfrey Extract. Water had a 6.2 ph. 7/30/2023: just a quick update today. She took to the transplant great and is not showing any shock. 8/1/2023 - Day 28 veg: she finally looks like she is starting to grow faster. 8/2/2023: foiler fed with 5.8 ph water, mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja 60, calmag, silica, BuildASoil Big 6, and Pure Protein Dry. 8/4/2023 - Day 31 Veg: watered with about .75 gallons of compost tea. The tea was made with BuildASoil BuildAFlower, Bat Guano, Seabird Guano, Neem Cake, and Molasses. Foiler fed with this as well.

Fat, Fat Buds! 😍

28.8 Eight week of flowering down. And topped plant is hanging to dry right now. And two others will go down either tomorrow or two days more. Both sisters alive have almost all white buds 😍 dank AF! Can't wait smoke this out. I have tried little what I have dryed on top of the lamp and man good stuff. These will have + one week to that stuff. Topped one that is hanging had about 5% amber trichomes when harvested maybe little more. So these are going to be on the spot. 👌 Ok Harvest update next. Happy growing all. I'll try to do my best to minim odors going out when harvesting...little hard when 30m3 apartement but I've managed it so far. Have to pull extra tent aside with carbon filter and fan when trimming and harvesting. Also Ona blocks and draft stoppers between doors works like a charm. 🙏 Oh and I've flushed these girls now for a week and a day..maybe two 😀 But even that one with just ne flush time smoke was smooth even it was dried o top of the hot lamp...

WEEK 3 FLOWERING = 28/4/2023 (DAY 15 FLO) ---> 4/5/2023 (DAY 21 FLO) [DAY 64 - 15° FLO] - 28/4/2023 ⚡ - TS1000: 40 cm distance / 100% dimmer = 150 watt; ⌛ - 12/12 light cycle; 🌡️ - 27° C - 50% RH during light / 23° C - 58% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.9 - EC 2.3 in DWC; 🍔 - For the third week of 12/12 I decided to decrease N a little and increase P and K: Micro 2ml/l, Grow 1.8 ml/l, Bloom 2 ml/l; 💧 - Solution in DWC is getting warmer: 22° C; 🥅 - I'm using the second SCROG net to even out the canopy. I bent the topmost branches and spread the branches further towards the sides of the box. The branches are still flexible enough to bend without issues; 🌱 - No marks on leaves, the plant has a nice green color. There are at least 30 flowering sites popping out of the second SCROG net. As already said, it's my first time with photoperiod and I don't know what to expect in terms of stretch, I'll try to manage it as best I can. ↕️ 43cm; 🔜 - Bought and mounted my new 3x3 tent. Next time I'll use that with my 2 TS1000! [DAY 65 - 16° FLO] - 29/4/2023 🌡️ - 27° C - 55% RH during light / 23° C - 55% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.3 in DWC; 💧 - Keeping an eye on the PH and EC values ​​I noticed that in this 50 liter configuration the EC is very stable while the PH slowly drops day after day. I manage it don't using PH down when I top up. In this way I bring the PH levels to 6.1 and need to correct it after 3 or 4 days; 🌱 - Look at the day 65, done? Now go to last week and look at day 60. In 5 days the plant has filled the box again, amazing! 🌸 - Pre-flowers are forming, between tomorrow and the day after the flowering sites will be full of white pistils. [DAY 66 - 17° FLO] - 30/4/2023 🌡️ - 26.5° C - 60% RH during light / 22.5° C - 57% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.3 in DWC; ✂️ - Removed about 20 big fan leaves; 🌸 - Flowering sites are filling up with pistils. [DAY 67 - 18° FLO] - 1/5/2023 🌡️ - 26° C - 64% RH during light / 21.5° C - 60% RH during night; 📑 - PH 6 - EC 2.3 in DWC; 🌸 - Pistils everywhere! [DAY 68 - 19° FLO] - 2/5/2023 🌡️ - 26° C - 65% RH during light / 21° C - 65% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 0.4 in DWC; 💧 - Flush for 24 hours, tomorrow she'll get full flower blend; 🌱 - Plant got 6 cm in the last 48 hours. [DAY 69 - 20° FLO] - 3/5/2023 🌡️ - 26° C - 65% RH during light / 21° C - 65% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.4 in DWC; 🍔 - After 20 days, DWC change: 40 LT flower blend. Silic (1ml/l) + CalMag (1ml/l) + Micro (2ml/l) + Grow (1ml/l) + Bloom (3ml/l) + Fulvic (1ml/l) + Atazyme (3ml/l). Added about 100ml Ph down Flower by Canna, to be honest I don't think it's very effective, I had to use a lot to lower the PH and I hope it's stable. Only plus side: is just phosphoric acid and is very useful in this phase! 💧 - Not a single dead root at the bottom of the DWC, I hope the old roots are at least rotting away. On the bright side, they're not causing any problems; 🌱 - Plant looks pretty fine, perhaps there is some slight light burn. I'll check tomorrow and, if necessary, raise the lamp by a few centimetres. The branches are still quite flexible but I have no more space to bend them 😅 [DAY 70 - 21° FLO] - 4/5/2023 🌡️ - 27° C - 60% RH during light / 22° C - 65% RH during night; 📑 - PH 6 - EC 2.4 in DWC; 🌱 - Week 3 flowering is done. Big change this week! I don't know if I'm talking bullsh*t, but since the switch I have noticed an important change in the leaves, they seem much thinner and longer, typical of Sativa dominant plants, and I like it!

During my previous grow, I harvested and made some bubble hash. Afterward, I dropped the used, wet buds onto this coco, and it seems some seeds sprouted from the leftover material. I’m not even sure if they’re photoperiod or autoflower, but hey—let's roll with it! Both my pH meter and PPM meter are broken. I have no idea why they keep breaking so often. They’re ADWA meters, and while you can replace the reading elements, the replacements cost half the price of a new meter. It’s frustrating, and I really don’t want to keep buying them every time I start a new grow

Easy week just gave the girls lots of water and did a leaf trimming up too to let it breathe and get a little more light deeper! They are looking amazing😍

I counted the days again and came to the conclusion that I have 70 days full and harvested tonight. Enough brown and amber trichomes are also present. I'm excited to see how they taste and pop. They definitely look and smell very good. What's really funny: From the 2-3 week onwards, I turned both TS1000s up to 100% for 18 hours a day. I just wanted to find out my cap. I used around 100kW/h and €40 less in electricity costs. Compared to my last grow with Feminized and 10 weeks of flowering + Veggy. I wouldn't have expected that. Well... let it dry in peace first. Another project is already underway. Have a nice weekend everyone.

Flush process plan water 💦
