Plants have taken well this week to the extra nutrients I added. Rhizotonic, cannazym and Boost accelerator. Ppm has increased and we are one step closer to finished product. Stems have thickened up and has grown about 10-12 inches in one week. I feel that LST worked wonders on these plants. And will always do it on every grow I ever do. There are about 10-12 Bud sites with the main one on top the biggest of the bunch. I replaced the HPS with a Spider farmer LED 1000w. I have another LED arriving tomorrow to help cover more area. This is my favourite hobby out of anything else I do. I have thoroughly enjoyed every step of the way. Weeks 3 and 5 so far are my favourite, that being the size increase in week 3 to 4 and then the flowering stage to where we are now. I defoliated a lot of these plants to deal with high humidity and to bring that down to 45-50% and for it to focus on thickening the buds up. Which it seems to be doing Here’s to next week 🍻

Bending the plant makes it stronger

Sorry I didn’t upload week 5 Ngl it was a bad week i suffocated 4 plants I had to defoliate some leaves because of nutrient defeincies making the plant look diseased I managed to pull through there back healthier again I got a few yellow spots but there goint but other then them 4 there’s some nice bud and bud spots really starting to come through excuse the 4 shittier looking plants and the defoliated skimpy one! Other then those problems that I have resolved I’m happy again last week not so this week happy!!! It’s all trial and error first go I haven’t trained any plants I will do on my next grow definitely!

I started germination of 2 Critical purple kush beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their home. Cant wait! Some Background information on my experience with CPK. I've ran this strain a good dozen times. It's a very short, robust, and branchy variety. Packs on fat dense colas with immaculate bud structre and trichome production. It's a fairly fast finisher and packs a real potent stoned. She gets very sexy purple highlights and hues. Some phenos more purple than others but I've always got color. She doesn't mind lst, and some good training work greatly increases yeilds. I've ran her inside and out and all times of the year. She seems to strive and flourish in any environment. Just give her that light and watch her grow! She packs a very signature kush pallet and she always has a spot in my rotation! Seedsman knocked it out the park with these genetics.

The cannabis plant is generally growing well and is progressing as expected during the flowering stage. Despite the positive overall growth, brown spots have appeared on some of the leaves and I dont really know what it is. While the appearance of brown spots is concerning, the overall health of the cannabis plant remains good. With careful monitoring and appropriate adjustments, the plant should continue to develop successfully. It will be exciting to see how the plant progresses as it matures, even if its growth rate is somewhat slower than expected.

sixth week Veg, the ladies are doing well again they seem to recover! they got a new home again and 2 liters of water every 5 days

This Dinamex from Dinafem is starting to really bud and is very stunted so I took a chance and transplanted her to a little bit more soil. The last of what’s I had because one of my other plants was a male. So flipped her over and she is kicking ass to say the least. Can’t wait to still see what I get out of his “solo Cup”grow

Put the largest nothern lights in its own mini green house, both have x2 large bug nets around them instead of a plastic cover as the temps and humidity were off but are perfect now. Plus it will reduce the chances of bugs flying in while also allowing the wind to pass through, I’ve used some Biobizz leaf spray no further leafs have been eaten since using it which I’m happy about.

This is the last week, when I gave nutrients to my girls. I think the harvest will be next week, or in 2 weeks. I had some trouble with them, because I increased the lights a couple of weeks ago, and they started foxtailing, and one of the plants turned a little bit red, because she tried to protect herself from the strong light. I decreased the lights a week ago back to 80%, but now as I' giving them only water I raised it again to 100%. These girls are more sensitive to strong light. Note for myself for the future: Only increase the lights if I stopped with the nutes, and I started flushing, because that will be only 1-2 weeks of intensive light. Overall they look, and smell incredible, can't wait to harvest them.

All is well for the blue cheese! changed how i hang my light - its now hanging with adjustable rope rachets instead of bungee cords :) now i can grow seeds with a height up to 1.4m tall! this blue cheese will probably be under 1m tall but im really excited as blueberry and cheese are among my favourites! BC is about 47cm tall now and should stretch through flowering, no smell from the plant yet. cant wait to get a whiff of it! Ive been giving just enough nutes for her and shes growing happily! check out the photos and give my other diaries a look if you get a chance. Il update again soon until then keep on growing!

Starting the flush this week and she should be ready to harvest next week! I’m not getting any Runtz terps— more nutty piney terps on this one. She’s happy she’s healthy and almost there! 🏻💚

More photos are coming... but for now, I'm super SUPER pleased with this grow! And I'm glad I only grew one plant in my 2x4 tent - she filled it up! Had I tried for 2 plants, I don't think the results would have been as stunning. From now on, growing in DWC and with the lights I have, I will limit the tent to one plant only... Next up in the tent will be an experiment... Going to be topping/cloning a Captain Future photoperiod and growing it in DWC while the "mother" and her sister go outside for the summer. I'm excited to see just how much I got from this grow... I don't weigh wet buds because it's stupid (imho) to weigh wet buds that are still attached to the stems and branches ... so check back in about a week for the dry weight...

Flowers are forming 😎

Ce fut une bonne semaine dans l'ensemble. J'ai augmenté la dose de l'engrais de base à 4,5ml/l. Les feuilles du bas ont commencé à jaunir sur un plant. Les autres sont encore verts foncés pour certains, quelques feuilles sont tombées aussi. J'ai coupé certaines branches du bas pour améliorer la qualité de celles supérieures mais pas sur tous les plants. Quand j'ai arrosé avec les engrais, un ppm de 650 et un pH de 5,75. J'ai attendu quatre jours puis j'ai arrosé à l'eau Mont roucous ( pH 6 indiqué mais des fois plus faible, et ppm constamment à 14) à raison de 1 litre par pot. La température le weekend fut gérée bien, entre 24 et 26 degrés, au niveau de la canopée, sinon la semaine, c'est entre 29 et 33 degrés ( pendant la journée) portes fermées

So the first full week since germinated and putting into final pots has gone by. The stems are looking very weak and thin and one plant actually toppled over. I ended up adding more soil around it to support it better. Not sure what this is due to? I have only been giving plants tap water around 6.8 PH and only when dry up to first knuckle.. which I check normally once in morning and at night. Light schedule is 19/5. Will be changing to 18/6 once my new lights come in. Been running a 19W led strip about 10-12” away from pots. Good airflow to help strengthen stems and not sure what is going on with the leaves discoloring and whatnot. Any tips or advice as to what’s going on??
