## Week 10 Update: Flowering Phase Transition 🌿🌟 ### 🌱 First Signs of Flowering 🌱 Welcome to Week 10! The transition to the flowering phase is well underway. We’re starting to see some promising developments as the plants move from vegetative growth into the flowering stage. --- ### 🌿 Current Plant Status 🌿 **Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞** - **Growth:** The plant has reached a robust and healthy canopy. The stretch phase is noticeable, with the plant reaching its full height. - **Flowering Progress:** Early signs of flowering are starting to appear. Look for the first signs of pistils or calyxes in the coming days. **Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿** - **Growth:** This plant is maintaining its dense and bushy structure, which is great for future bud development. - **Flowering Progress:** Initial flowering traits are emerging. The plant is slowly transitioning into the flowering phase with early bud formation visible. **Blueberry Muffin 🥞** - **Growth:** The canopy remains strong and dense, ready to support upcoming flower production. - **Flowering Progress:** The plant is beginning to show its first signs of flowering. Calyxes and pistils are starting to form as it adjusts to the light cycle. --- ### 🌱 Nutrient and Supplement Update 🌱 **Current Nutrient Regimen:** - **Power Roots (PLAGRON):** 1 ml/l to keep enhancing root health and overall plant vigor. - **Pure Zym (PLAGRON):** 0.5 ml/l to continue supporting root health and improve nutrient uptake. - **Terra Bloom (PLAGRON):** 2 ml/l to supply essential nutrients for bud development. - **Power Buds (PLAGRON):** 0.5 ml/l to stimulate bud formation and increase flower density. - **Orgatrex (Bio Tabs):** 2 ml/l for a balanced nutrient profile. **Feeding Schedule:** - Adjusting the nutrient mix to support the early stages of flowering and ensure the plants are getting balanced nutrition for optimal flower growth. ### 🌱 Environmental Conditions 🌱 **Temperature & Humidity:** - Conditions are being carefully monitored and adjusted to support flowering and prevent issues such as mold or nutrient deficiencies. **Training & Defoliation:** - Continuing with LST (low-stress training) and selective defoliation to maintain an even canopy and ensure light penetration to all parts of the plant. --- ### 🌸 Looking Ahead 🌸 As we enter Week 10, the flowering phase is becoming more apparent. The first signs of flowers are emerging, and the plants are adjusting to this crucial stage. Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue to monitor their progress closely and make adjustments as needed to ensure healthy flower development. Stay tuned for next week’s update to see how the flowering process is progressing and to check out any new developments in the grow! Happy growing! 🌟💚

Day 30 of flower; This beautiful girl starts to build some very long nice looking colas. She starts to smell beautifully and she should get some beautiful buds in a couple of weeks.

Growing up in a 2.3x2.3. Peat light mix. LED: 3000K Citizen CLU048-1212 3000K powered by Meanwell ELG-200-36 Strange plant. No matter what, the branches grow totally vertically! Every branch required training since day 1. Also, before maturity when the plant made symmetrical nodes, only one of each set of shoots would develop into a proper branch. The other one would stay very small, no exceptions. But it smells absolutely amazing when the stem is rubbed! So I'm giving this one to the 2x2. Let's see it flower. Soon. No fuss veg - will update weekly in flower. There's a bit of burnage due to the lights being to close for a shorter companion plant. That plant has been thrown out... it might make a return some day 😏 Not many diaries of this one around. So give a shoutout if bubba kush saved your life or got you back with your ex wife. You can also check out Zambeza's Blueberry Cheese and Lemon Kush in my other diaries. Good luck everybody with the grows.

Harvest time

End of week 3 - @cyco nutes seem to be working wonders, 3 plants in one pot doesn't seem to be an issue either. Very happy with the results so far :D 5/10/18 - Gave the girls a fresh water with full Cyco advanced veg scheme. Back under the lights with full fans and humidifier running. Temp 27-28 Celsius / Humidity 75-85% 6/10/18 - Ladies got a watering with the Cyco Kleanse today to flush the weeks nute waterings. They are looking very nice and green. Temp 27-28 Celsius / Humidity 75-85% - Changing tent setup a bit tomorrow to have the plants lower to the ground. Lights will also be lowered to roughly a foot from the girls :)

A great week for the girls, an explosion of flower growth. They are not the largest Autoflower’s, but they are robust. The main cola is about 9 inches, with tight bud spacing and stacking. The satellite buds are also nice size with some good density. These girls have not shown any issues with the cronk nutrient/dosage that has been given, while some of the others have been more finicky. They are feeling greasy, and have a some good terps starting as I open the tent. RH has been kept between 55-58 % while temps have gotten as high as 81, but typically hover around 78 degrees. They are getting close to a gallon of water at feed time, which is about every 4 days. I’m happy with these girls so far as there are a several weeks left in their cycle. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Watering with plain water and root starter waiting for true leaves

I’m flipping 12/12 this evening. I had a little tip burn on a couple of leaves of the Fullgas. These were in the central area of the light so I just eased off a little on the light intensity and haven’t noticed any issue since. It’s also a little dark atm so will hold off adding the bio grow until next week. Update ** Ive upped the light power by 10% again and watered in 4ml of Alg a mic in 2L of water.

Final Week! Amazing grow! In the process of flushing. I have runoff ppm around 200. Still need to flush more and get runoff ppm under 100 then will chop. Probably 4 more days.

Hello. Got the plants into the main grow room. There is 2 videos . In the first I just sit in the room quitly and turn the camera. you get a sense :) of what it's like in there. In the second I try to describe what's in the room, equipment and maybe a new technique. With the tomato cages I use, and needing the plant to slow down, I twist the stock into a large figure 8. Eventually I take off what is on the lower part of the 8, and just work the top of the 8. About 2 weeks in veg in this room. Then I take clones of everything before I switch to flower. >Carbon dioxide enhancement: I had to make that choice 20 years ago. I could, rent a tank and have my name on a list, at the gas store. Or make my own. They didn't have the small propane tanks like they do today for the blue flame you get when you burn it. I decided on a kerosene lamp burning down as low as it could be without going out. It makes a half blue and half yellow flame. I vent constantly so the small amount of carbon monoxide is not a problem. For the first week you can smell it a bit, but the smell disappears after that. I light the lamp in the morning and put it out at lights out (unless it's bed time). It needs to be put in a place in the room that cant get knocked over (pets, children, ?). I try to use extra attention whenever I use it. It can burn down the place. Be careful Please. >About 17 years ago I thought I'd lower my table by knocking a hole in the cement and dropping my 10 gallon reservoir more. I was able to lower it by 16 inches. Still have to watch the height of some plants though, it worked out well. Watch the video. > Air cleaner: The reason I got a big 8 inch exhaust fan was, I had a bout of powder mildew and needed better a exhaust system. When I plugged it in there was too much air moving. I phoned and asked and the salesman said that a dimmer switch wasn't a good idea. I put one on anyway. Works great. I have the fan barely on in the winter and about half way on in the middle of the summer. I haven't had any powdery mildew since. About 12 years ago I bought a good air cleaner. An ORECK, It has electrified plates that zap any organic particle or spore that come between the plates. Use to grow a Northern Lights that got 6 to 8 ounces per harvest, it grew big buds. Buds as big as my forearm. I had problems with gray mold attaching the buds. But none since I bought the air cleaner. Ya learn as you go.

D67 removed ScrOG and repeated LST on left plant so lower buds will get more light. There is not enough space in tent to do the same with the right plant.

This grow was so amazing!! The purple punch’s came out super sticky dense nugs, super frosty , an a huge smell of blueberry muffins! Super fun grow along with the Forbiddin Runtz definitely one of the sweetest berry smelling strains of ever grown, highly recommend everyone to try out the purple punch’s, you will be highly satisfied!! Stay tuned for next grow!!

Day 80 This morning I started defoliating Tropicana. She will be in the darkness for the next days. I already harvested a part of the head flower and let it dry trimmed. Because of extreme weather conditions and very high humidity I got a little bud rott. I found it out quit early I think. So I hope nothing will not happen any more. Just harvesting relaxed and drink a Tropicana tee. Day 81 I decided to cut her down in the evening. The humidity in the basement room is high and I don‘t want to risk here anything anymore. Waiting for my first homegrown weed to be vaped. Day 82 Tropicanas flowers hanging to dry in my basement. I check them once per day with a strong light. Day 83 Same same. The smell is wonderful like a bit of gas combined with a fruity flower bouquet. Our neighbors in the house like the smell, too. 🙏 Day 84 I could try my first homegrown weed. It‘s absolutely tasty and have a very smooth vape. I was very surprised cause it‘s not cured yet. A longer vape report will follow when it‘s dried and cured. Day 88 All flowers, sugar- and tee leafs are trimmed and filled in glasses for curing. I open twice per day for 20 minutes. Boveda packs 58% inside. I will fill out the rest of the diarie when my buds are dried, cured and vaped. So far this was a very exciting journey for me. Growing cannabis and even legal on our balcony. Feels still a bit unreal, but it’s real! Thank you for reading my diary! Thanks to all the people who worked on legalizing cannabis in Germany, especially to the „Deutscher Hanfverband (DHV)“! I will give more updates and write a vape report after curing several weeks. Maybe with some Tropicana Cookies baked in Comfreys garden kitchen.

So I decided to drop a berry cookie into DWC for ol time sake. Trying to squeeze one more grow in before the summer. Anyways she's been in her basket for a week now and she seems to be digging it so far. No roots showing yet but she's young yet. New growth coming in for sure so the roots are definitely growing just a long the basket and the clay pebbles. Probably getting adequate water for now but I'm sure by next week we'll be seeing some nice beautiful white roots!

Welcome back everyone, As you can see are almost all seedlings growing. Some where still in the soil. Might happend when giving water(seedlings can turn or get deeper), checked it out and they are alive and well. All pictures are from day 4. The humidifier had been added, so I had to adjust the room. I spotted a corner of the room that gets dryer faster. I adjust the fan for now and see what happens. Corners are always hard to get perfect. Sometimes the light, air, watering doesn't come there properly. Seedlings don't need much nutrients, neighter do autoflowers. with normal soil I would recommend to only give water for 1-2 weeks, since it holds nutrients in it as well. But since I'm using Cocos for this grow, I might have to add some basic nutrients in the upcomming week. For this week I gave/give only water turns and Startbooster/rhyzotonic turns. Update day 5: - Lowerd the lights to avoid stretching, they are now at 75cm distance from lamp to pots. I want them at 40-50 cm, but I don't want to rush it. - Added another layer of cocos to avoid the soil from drying up therefore the roots from dying. This will happen because of lowering the lamps down, the soil will get exposed more to heat. As you can see, the humidifier is doing his thing haha. Pictures and videos where taken without the lights + fans on. because of that, it will look like this. Still fun thought. Arround 7 seeds didn't reach the surface yet, lets hope they make there way up soon. Enjoy!

5-24-20: Lower leafs are falling off from lack of light. Almost panicked and doused her with nutrients but thought twice. Remembered what happened last time with last plant, and results were N burn. Shes looking nice and healthy overall. Good covering of trichomes and only small bump was a calcium deficiency that showed in about 4 or 5 leafs. Disappeared as fast as i noticed it and didnt take any action because no other leafs were affected and havent noticed a change since.

Decided to transplant the ladys because they werde Not so happy in their small cups. Now they got plants of space in their new 55l pot🍋🍒🍦 Plant in back needs more nitrogen

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!
