ā€‹šŸŒø FLOWER WEEK 3: Cotton Candy Kush | Delicious Seeds ā€‹šŸŒ± THE STRETCH CONCLUDES & BUD SITE FORMATION ​Entering Flower Week 3, and the intense vertical stretch is visibly slowing down, giving way to true flower development. The Cotton Candy Kush has formed defined floral clusters across all primary tops, with fresh white pistils shooting out in thick crowns at every node. The canopy management and previous training have paid off completely, resulting in an even, level sea of colas where no single shoot steals the show. A strategic Day-21 defoliation was performed to open up airflow through the dense core and expose the lower bud sites to direct illumination. Foliage continues to look robust and deeply green, showing zero signs of stress or deficiency as she transitions her full metabolic engine into resin and calyx production. ā€‹šŸ’§ NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​With the stretch wrapping up, the nutrient profile shifts more heavily toward potassium and phosphorus to support dense floral swelling while sustaining the biological medium. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Fish-Mix: 1.0 ml/l ​Bio-Bloom: 2.0 ml/l ​Top-Max: 1.0 ml/l ​Bio-Heaven: 2.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 2.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 0.6 ml/l ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.4 ​Relative Humidity (RH): 55k% ​Temperature: 25.0°C ​Photoperiod: 12/12 ā€‹šŸ’­ GROWER'S NOTE ā€‹šŸ‘€ Status Report: Week 3 marks the definitive shift from structural expansion to heavy bud building. The defoliation opened up vital light corridors, allowing lower nodes to swell alongside the main crowns. Environmental parameters remain tightly dialed in, keeping transpiration brisk and humidity safely controlled as canopy density peaks. The initial dusting of trichomes is just beginning to appear around the sugar leaves—pure contest vigor on full display. Let the stacking begin! šŸ†šŸš€

Happy GrowingHarvested at 15 weeks and the royal runtz will be a staple in my tent from here on exactly what I like to smoke the taste the buzz is perfect high and I'm a Head šŸ’Æ since birth so. The plant was a bit hollow didn't produce much all my errors I'm pretty positive but damn It is good . I also ran a sherbet queen . It is the opposite of what I really like I don't care for that cookie lemon mild high on the other hand it produced double and is still good smoke just for my preferences lacking ice got it hanging in a dark closet ac blasting and small fan circulating air . Then I'll jar it and maybe if let it cure a week or two if I can . Maybe also sherb top was 100 gs fresh and Runtz top was 60 gs fresh cut also I think I really did damage more than good in the flush process

Hi everyone :-) This week the buds developed super ;-) All are beautiful šŸ˜. Super genetics šŸ‘. Blue Cheese pheno 1 is slowly coming to an end :-) This week I will start to use up the remaining nutrients and harvest in 10-14 days ;-) Everyone else needs something else :-) have fun with the videos, stay healthy šŸ™šŸ» and let it grow 🌱

My Skunk Apple Run plant is still a bit young, but I can see those buds starting to form. It's a bit of a slow starter, with buds popping up all over the place instead of a nice even line. We'll see if adjusting the light cycle or its food might help it along. I'll keep you posted on any changes. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

Beautiful strain to grow, she ended up. With a smaller size compared to her sisters but she's a big quality lady very frosty and sweet, the aroma of this sticky flowers are super sweet and floral, just so wonderful, I love this strain and I'm glad I have black cherry punch in my garden the 5 of them with the same aroma šŸ” can't wait to croptober

Whats up yall! We're here at the end of week 6 in flower! Some rearranging and formula shifts have occured as we head into the final push of flower. 7 plants are being fed 3.6/1.5/1.5/0 part B while the others continue the Jacks full strength plus 1.2 MKP. I have also began giving recharge and molasses to the plants every 10 days instead of 21 - I've read/watched/listened to some people and it sounds like more microbes can be good and at worst, not harmful. At this time, GDP seems to be first up with Platinum OG or Purest Indica on deck. Permanent Marker and Bag Seed [to be named] should be next and finally Pineapple Express #3. They're all at least 2 weeks away from harvest/flush and I will be monitoring trichome development closely to determine a target harvest day. The remaining 5 need closer to 4+ weeks before they're ready to be chopped. Things are looking good and are moving along very steadily! I cannot wait for the end of the month! Until then, I will see you guys next week. Feedback, comments, and questions always welcome! Next time I see you it'll be 420 šŸ˜Ž

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10ā€ distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next runšŸ˜ŽšŸ‘šŸ˜Ž. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next runšŸ¤™šŸ˜Ž. I love hardware modešŸ˜‰. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was šŸ”„. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...šŸ˜‰. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a gošŸ‘. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydrošŸ‘Š. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or portšŸ‘. Website link here: https://www.mars-hydro.com/grow-tent/buy-mars-hydro-grow-tent-24x48x70-2-x-4-cabinet-closet-grow-box-upgraded-diamond-1680d-mylar-for-sale ViparSpectra 240w Quantum Board: This thing is sleek and slick in terms of design. Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobingšŸ‘. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an ā€œentry-levelā€ fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixturešŸ‘. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

Hello growers and tokers! šŸ‘‹ šŸ‘©ā€šŸŒ¾ šŸ§‘ā€šŸŒ¾.šŸ”„šŸ’Ø There has been much change this week!! First there was a big defoliation done, I cleaned the bottom of the plant. All the growth that wouldn't amount to anything because the light doesn't penetrate that low. Also took off the biggest fan leaves to give more room for light. Then finally switched to 12/12.. After just 36 hours after the defoliation there was a major change. New growth everywhere, colas started stretching upwards fast. It's like she already knows it's flowering time. Great reaction to the defoliation and 12/12 switch. I'm still watering every other day, After the defoliation I watered with only Enzymes 2ml/L to clean the roots a bit then started with the nutrientes again. I dropped the amount of grow nutrients from 3ml/L to 1ml/L and started adding bloom nutrientes 2ml/L for now. I'll slowly be upping the bloom nutrientes and after week 2 I'll no longer add grow nutrients. That's it for this week. Stay tuned to see how she flowers. Stay safe!

dim. lamp at 100W due to warm weather conditions and some burned tips of the leaves. I watered every other day with about 4-6 liters. I 'm using a super soil S.W.A., so any extra nuts has been added just sometimes cannazym and rhyzotonic. Remember that on the left is gorilla fast , right blackberry cake.

Yellowing of WW#2 is worrying me, looks to be a nutrient issue maybe? I raised the light above WW#2 by 4 inches in case its light burn as well. Other than that and the nute burn on The other plants things seem well. End of week update: things are looking great, I think whatever happened to WW2 is reducing its ability to form buds? Not sure. It’s looking okay, hoping they’re going to fill out well! Definitely need to grow the widow XXL again, it’s a shame I had another plant fall on WW2 and damage it, likely contributes to the yellowing and such. WW1 still has no amber trichomes, waiting for this entire week to end before I even think about harvesting. I am eager to harvest so I can get more light to lower buds on the other plants. I had to tie up 1/3 NL2 main colas. It was so heavy it was beginning to split the bottom stalk, there was no damage really just maybe 1/20th of the stalk was peeling from the weight. I tied him up to the light and everything seems well. I figured I wouldn’t run into that problem, but don’t underestimate how much weight buds can pack on!

she is doing really well. we are at the beginning of week 5. she is currently getting a lot of rain. but also enough sun and daylight. you can clearly see that she is preparing for the flowering phase. i have not used any growing techniques on her. just sunlight and fertiliser.

Added Universol Yellow (High P) and Calcinit 1:1 to increase EC and root growth, no ml values, used the fertilizer to reach stated EC values. In addition to KMPS I added POLY(DIMETHYLAMINE-CO-EPICHLOROHYDRIN) in a very small dosage to the tank, this helps to keep the ORP stable high, did that on the last day of week 3 so results will be visible next week but it already did and the last hours of week 3. Plant is growing vigirously but still spinning, did top her and LST + defoliation, lets see if she continues to spin, will wait a little longer to tie more down. Values are average of the day.
