🚀 Week 8 Overall | Flower Week 3: Taming the Beast! 🌿 What’s up growmies! Hopefully you are enjoying your Christmas time 🎅 Today is December 29th, marking the first day of Week 8 overall and the start of Week 3 of Flowering. The stretch has been absolutely relentless! Even after my last adjustments, the girls were still pushing too close to the light. Today, I had to do some final low-stress training (LST) and bending just to maintain at least a 20cm gap between the tops and the LED panel. I’ve got my fingers crossed that this is the final week of the stretch—I’m officially out of vertical space! Recap of the recent "Rescue Mission": • Heavy Lollipopping: I’ve cleared out the entire bottom section (the "skirt") to maximize airflow and focus energy where it matters. • Canopy Management: Raised the AC Infinity net and thinned out the jungle. It was a massive defoliation, but necessary for the plants to breathe. • Organic Strategy: I’m still seeing those yellow tips from my initial soil mix mistake, so I’ve started adding Organic Silica to help the plants handle the light stress and strengthen their structure. The plants are looking much more manageable now, even with the minor nutrient burn. Now it's time to stop the vertical growth and start stacking those flowers! 🌸❄️ How's your end-of-year grow looking? Any advice for the Week 3 "stretch-ender"? One Love & Happy New Year, growers! 🇯🇲💚

2/5/2024: She grew another 2 inches, so I'm not seeing the stretch I was hoping for. Think she is going to be small, but that's OK. Other than some slightly burnt tips, she is doing good. Just starting to smell a little and I can see the first signs of some tricomes. Mainly bottom watering, but I mist the top a couple times a week to keep the top soil moist. 2/7/2023: watered with about .6 gallons today. Mainly filled the tray to bottom water, but made sure the top soil was moist as well. Also, gave the cover crop a little haircut, but the clippings went right back into the 2/11/2024: a few of the pistols are starting to darken and she is starting to smell more and more each day. At this point I'm getting a sweet and floral smell. Don't mind the trellis net in the picture, it's for the other two photo period plants growing next to her.

The Strain is a great smoke just price seed but you pay for the quality right, eventhught it could be better as I F*@&^ things up with the soil

Will definitely update this as I finish trimming and curing!

Flowers are still putting on weight. Very frosty and lots of bud.she is still drinking 3.5 liters a day

Day 65 Day 30 Flower Seeing nice stretching and spacing on nodes are still kept tight, strong but small structure. Nice hues coming through on the tops fans. Minor lollipopping and defoliating done today. Not much else to say, Stay high my growmie ✌️🚀💚 Day 68 Day 33 F - Final lollipopping and defoliating today. She really is starting to develope. Node spacing is nice, bud sites forming, nice hues and glistening. Applied feed today. Small compact looking plant, but hoping to see them top shelf grade dense nuggets with this technique and strain 😍- we can hope

De una semana a otra su desarrollo fue muy notorio. Se encuentra perfecta, sin ningún problema. En esta etapa esta teniendo olor a weed muy fuerte. Esta muy resinosa.

Trim done Monday 20th tent was getting a big overgrown plants are still a bit stressed not drinking. Sprayed with bud buddy tuesday 21st Buds are starting to pack on some more mass now

Nothing to do but watch and maintain environment.

week intel: every thing is amazing girls are ripening , we can now cause more e.c stress than before because: 1-plants are very mature now and can handle stress 2- at this week its the only stress that is helpful for increasing plant resins stresses : E.C stress around 1.6 and 1.7 3 times a week feeding: i replaced B-52 with Bloom Base Nutrient i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with base nutrients(calcium & micros (half dose) + Bloom) about 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them high dose of Top-Max + Bloom Base Nutrient around 877 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause stress . day 5 : i feed them high dose of Feeding Booster around 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c - to cause e.c stress again guide of the week : last weeks are time of ripening , and the only helpful stress is e.c stress at this moment

Haben sich gut gefangen soweit. Wuchs bleibt eher klein und rund. Aber sehr robust soweit.

New light 150w led. Also did one light feeding with bad results. Got nute testing kit tested the super living soil is more then holding up. Sohum soil. Fit new text a3x3 she seems more happy with more space. I have been using lst. Just water dechlorinated

Today I switched the light to the flowering phase. The light is now on for 12 hours. All plants were fertilized with Hesi Bio Bloom. The Tropical Marker and the Plurple Kush each received 2 liters of water, and the Pink Gelato received 1 liter. I trimmed off some large leaves. I hope they have a smooth transition into flowering. Day 42: The girls are growing well. The Purple Kush and Pink Gelato received 2 liters of water with Hesi Bio Bloom and some Biobizz Calmag today. I dimmed the light to 60%. The Pink Gelato is catching up a bit, but is very small in comparison. Day 43: They're all still growing well. The tropical marker has been given 2 liters of water with hesi bio bloom and biobizz call mag. I've raised the lamp a bit higher. Here you can see how the stems of the plants have developed; the pink gelato has grown like crazy. The humidifier from Spider Farmer does a great job! Day 47: The girls look good; the first signs of flowering are visible on the Tropical Marker and the Purple Kush. I also defoliated them; it was definitely too much, and they thanked me a day later with preaching leaves. Unfortunately, the Pink Gelato didn't tolerate the topping well and only developed one shoot. I then removed this shoot. Afterward, I watered the Tropical and the Purple with 2 liters of water mixed with fertilizer and Calmag at a pH of 6.3. I set the ventilation to 50%. day 50: They look very healthy. I fertilized all three plants with 2 liters of water each containing Hesi Bio Bloom and also mixed in some Cal Mag from Bio Bizz. The first signs of flowering are visible. I set the exhaust air to 50%. day 51: The ladies look good, but the humidity has risen due to the weather, so I had to connect the new Spider Farmer dehumidifier today. It's easy to use and does a great job. 55% humidity was quickly reached on the low setting. The air goes directly into the tent through the hose. The CO2 level is also rising slightly. day 52: Today I started weaving the Tropical Marker into the net. I also cut off two of its shoots. I watered the Tropical Marker and the Purple Kush with 2 liters of water containing fertilizer and a pH of 6.4. The light is slowly being increased—today to 70%. day 54: The ladies are doing well. I watered the Tropical Marker and the Purple Kush with 2 liters of water with fertilizer and a pH of 6.3. The flowers of the Tropical Marker are slowly getting larger. All plants are now flowering. The Tropical Marker had the fastest transition to flowering and is about a week ahead of the others. day 55: Today I watered the pink gealto with 2 liters of water mixed with fertilizer and cal mag. I defoliated the tropical marker a bit. day 56: Hey guys, nothing exciting happened today. The girls are doing well; they look very healthy. Humidity is 55%, temperature is 24 degrees Celsius, and the Vpd is 1.4.

Cereal milk is my 2nd fav plant from this run it has great structure it is gonna be a tricomb beast! The plant has a really good gelato and “z” smell. This will be some great smoke in the end

Olá amigos, obrigado por acompanhar meu diário! Siga meu perfil, deixe seu like, comentário ou dúvida, ficarei feliz em ajudar se eu puder. Mais uma semana demonstrando uma deficiência que me parece ser Magnésio, porém é sempre complexo em se tratando de coco pois o equilíbrio entre K, Ca, Mg e Fe é ainda mais complexo nesse tipo de mídia. Fato é que esses clones foram retirados com urgência sem que eu conseguisse ter feito uma seleção da madre antes, e a planta mãe apresentou essa deficiência o ciclo todo e não houve o que eu conseguisse fazer para corrigir, etnão devo estar fadado à isso novamente. Vivendo e aprendendo! Fiz um ajuste na nutrição para poder testar. O objetivo e conseguir entregar os ppm de cada elemento muito próximo do feedchart da Advanced Nutrients, porém usando fertilizante mineral muito mais barato e acessível no meu país, e algumas sobras q tenho da linha GH Sigam também meu Instagram @casadasarvoresgrow Cultivo Medicinal brasileiro. Uso pessoal, não vendo nada!
