Germination 07/09/2022 Hi to all the old and new growers out there. Spring has barely started but I'm so AMPED to start again. My first grow attempt was a disaster. I started to early for the season. I wasted some good seeds and those Blasted 🐌 🐌 snails messed up everything. Got up started again and took it as a learning curve. I had 1 seed left from the previous attempt and this had to be the golden ticket. The first important thing I learned was getting to the correct pH. Used a 1 liter jug not knowing that the pH down was very concentrated substance. Added 1ml of pH down to tap water with a base of 8.5+ pH and brought it down all the way to less than 4.5 pH. I probably tried like 5 times and realized that a single drop made a difference of about 2 pH. I got the feel of it and had to source a better water supply. I had the option of using tap water but didn't have the time to do a 24 hour airstone run ever time I wanted to water the plants. The local water supply shop was a better option. I got a consistent 6 pH and the price was decent. The Snail 🐌 Problem... I have a plan for those F**kers. We have 2 very nice hydroponic shops in my city.

Yoyoyo.... Another BM update: Its week 7 and they are looking good... Buds are bulking up now and its almost time to defoliage and let the light shine thru to the bottom buds. I am going to wait another few days before I defoliage this mother. Will update more soon. Happy growing, BM 4TweentY

January 24, 2019 The girls are doing WELL. My autos (Blackberry and NYC Diesel) are mid-flush now and will be chopped down this weekend. The Blackberry is a beautiful purple and the NYC Diesel is dense and chunky - both smell amazing!!! My photos are chugging right along also. The DinaFem Critical+ is definitely in the lead as far as bud development at this stage, with Seedsman Cream & Cheese CBD in a close second, followed by DinaMed CBD+ and the Cherry Hemp plants. This week I fed/watered 3 times (basically once every other day). The first time I fed with Recharge, Mammoth P and Big Bloom. The second time, I fed with Mr B’s Green Trees Bloom and Cal Mag. The third time was water only. ***January 26, 2019 update*** Cut down the FastBuds Blackberry and Barneys Farm NYC Diesel today and added a pic of the hanging branches. The NYC Diesel buds are much more dense than the Blackberry. The Blackberry buds are pretty loose and airy. I'm curious to see what they look like after drying for a week. Stay tuned..

Giorno 1 bene le ragazze adesso staranno in vegetativa ancora 1/2 settimane poi andiamo in fiore Giorno 2 annaffiata con 1L di acqua Giorno 7 annaffiata con 2L di acqua

Trichomes are cloudy but not any amber's yet, but she is super frosty and smells like a gorillas armpit and fuel 17/1 chopped her tonight she had 24 hours of dark before the chop.

Bueno , este es el segundo cultivo que realizó del la cepa "Waka" , el anterior lo tengo igualmente documentado en otro diario . en esta ocasión cultivamos los clones que habíamos recolectado del cultivo pasado , guardando los fenotipos que nos gustaron más y los clones restantes los pasamos a floración que fueron los que se le hizo seguimiento en este diario. El crecimiento fue bastante explosivo y reaccionaron muy bien a cada trasplante realizado . pude observar que los clones de cada fenotipo seleccionado se desarrolló con mucha similitud al de sus madres . El olor en vegetación es bastante discreto y en floración se pone un más intenso El desarrollo en floración fue explosivo generando bastante resina y se vieron muy hambientras . Al fumar se puede sentir un rico toque cítrico en las N° 4 se siente un fuerte sabor a limón en algunas flores mucho mas marcado que en otras, N° 3 y 13 un agradable toque a naranjas muy rico de sentir en el paladar , La N° 8 con pizcas dulces bastante interesantes. El humo al fumar es muy suave lo que permite sentir mejor el sabor de cada fenotipo.- saludos y buenos humos😉 Al momento de cosechar se cortaron los clone y se dejo secando en oscuridad a temperatura ambiente por cerca de 16 días posterior a eso se pasó a curar en frascos

This week, I have been trying to manage stretching. I have been trying to keep temps low for the first couple of hours of daylight, but the stretching seems to happen during the dark period. I am pretty much completely out of screen holes for training, so I have been tying down tall shoots for training as best as I can. The canopy is only about 8" thick, but I continue to remove fan leaves to improve air flow. Some spots get condensation when the lights go out. I changed the timer on one light to go off 5 minutes after the other to give my equipment the chance to lower humidity before the temp drops. I added a couple more fans to hit some spots that weren't moving enough. It seems like removing fan leaves is one step forward, two steps back because each time I remove a lot of fan leaves, the plants come roaring back with more growth than before. I am ready for the stretch to end before my scrog becomes just a skeletal support system. I have spare nets in case they do need support. My initial 20 gallon mix clocked in around 600 ppm, but it spiked over 900 the next day. I have been adding 5 gallons of plain water every day, and the ppm stays around 550. I guess that is the concentration they want. Funny, I thought this strain was going to devour nutrients. I have no deficiencies whatsoever. I did have one issue after the rez change. I noticed the solution was not getting to all of the buckets. The GH Waterfarm kit I am using has 1/2" tubes which are blue and translucent. There was algae completely blocking 3 of the tubes. Fortunately, I had the foresight to install shutoff valves on the buckets, so removing and cleaning them was easy. There were some roots beginning to grow into the tubes which will become a problem in the coming weeks when they begin to clog the tubes. I don't know what I'll do since I can't lift the buckets, but I will figure something out. My opinion of this expensive bucket system is not pleasant.

Thought it was all over…….Thrips nearly destroyed my grow. Some Cannacure and some praying and they’re doing ok …………I think 🧐 2 hour power cut, 3 days later Electric surged blew bulb, few hours without hps light.

Flush And freezy

March 2, 2021 (Week 8, Day 57, Flower 8): First day of week 8! Pots were light today so watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus at 6.0 pH. Runoff sitting at 6.4 pH. Removed all remaining LST ties from Unknown 1. Lots of healthy growth. The stretch continues. Averaging 50% rH and 70℉. March 3, 2021 (Week 8, Day 58, Flower 9): Another inch and a half of growth in the last 24hrs. Unknown 1 is leading the pack at 17" followed closely by Gelato 1 at 16.5". The runt is still Unknown 2 at 15.75". It's seriously crazy how fast these are growing now. Plants are looking amazing overall. Soil is still wet from yesterday. I'm not sure what one, but one of these plants is starting to smell like straight gasoline and I haven't even seen any buds yet. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. March 4, 2021 (Week 8, Day 59, Flower 10): More stretch overnight. Unknown 2 is trying to catch up to the others and grew about an inch and a half. Bud sites are looking great. I will definitely have to defoliate the lower fan leaves here eventually. Thinking about experimenting with two defoliation during flower. One at day 21 and another at day 42. Not sure if I can wait that long as there's already giant fan leaves getting relatively little light at the bottom of the canopy. We'll play it by ear. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. 👽 March 5, 2021 (Week 8, Day 60, Flower 11): Soil is dry and pots are still a little heavy. Will most likely water tomorrow. Plants tacked on a bunch more growth. They're growing healthy and steadily. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. Nothing else for today. March 6, 2021 (Week 8, Day 61, Flower 12): Pots are light and leaves are slightly droopy - today is watering day. Watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus at 6.0 pH. Runoff sitting at 6.2 pH. Vertical growth is looking fantastic. Gelato 1 is the first one out of the gate with bud formation. Pistils are starting to shoot out the top of the growth sites. Will be interesting to see how they develop over the next couple of days! Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. Happy Saturday! 😺 March 7, 2021 (Week 8, Day 62, Flower 13): Everything looks great. Plants perked way back up after the watering yesterday. More stretch. More bud development. Just loving how everything is coming together so far. Averaging 50% rH and 71℉. March 8, 2021 (Week 8, Day 63, Flower 14): Amazing what 24-hours can do. Unknown 2 is really kicking into high-gear starting to develop some dense looking buds and is smelling very, very sweet. Pistils are starting to shoot out everywhere, but not a crazy amount of stretch. Unknown 1 continues to stretch like crazy with minimal bud development so far - but the plant has started shooting pistils out everywhere. Gelato 1 is a mix of both stretching and bud development so far and is looking fantastic. Gelato 1 and Unknown 2 are so leafy I've had to tuck some leaves to expose the bud sites to light and air. I will do my first round of fan-leaf defoliation on flower day 21, but until then I'll continue tucking leaves. I tilled the top half-inch of soil in each plant. Averaging 50% rH and 71℉. I haven't filled my humidifier in days. My grow room is starting to smell amazing - it's hard to zip up the tent and walk away. This is so much fun so far. 😻 On to week 9!

This week I added Alg-a-mic to the mix, hopefully this will help to revitalise the plant. It seems like the tacoing 🌮 hasn't worsened since last week.

Day 22: re-trained new branches with LST. Trying to train a clone is proving to be kind of annoying. Whatever. Did a meal of 1250 and it seems a bit too low. Will try and do about 1400 next time. Watered today with the 1250 again. No PM showing up again yet. Sprayed with H2O2 in case. Day 26: re-training daily now. Reacting very well to about 1500 EC. Run off is still low, but higher than before. Going to raise it a little bit more to get it going before flower. Been spraying every other day with H2O2/H2O. Still no signs of PM. Sprayed with second treatment of neem oil. Growing faster now. Started having to loop around the main stem with LST. Going to be about a 6 week veg time for this guy because of the PM. Probably would have switched by now if it wasn't for the PM. Gives my other non-clones time to catch up. Day 27: first day of 12/12. Plants will only receive 12hrs of light today. Removed any red lst trainers in anticipation for stretch. Left the wire tied ones alone. Fed at about 1700. With R/O water my pH has actually been staying "perfect". I was using the system with tap before and would always have to adjust it a bit with ph up/down. The company recommends r/o water for a reason. Still no signs of PM and it's been over a week. Did a second spray of neem oil yesterday regardless. Looks great. Already did a heavy defol. a week ago so I think I'll be straight going into flower. I'll defol in a few weeks once the colas are noticeable.

Quality strain but my buds could have been denser/chunkier, growers error, my first LST and I stressed her into flower too early

I harvested four plants today, putting 884 grams of wet flowers into the dry tent. I am trying to keep the environment as close as possible to 60F / 60% RH, but with the current temperatures, I will be lucky to keep it around 65. I am looking forward to the terpenes moving towards the skunky aromas.

- The trichomes photos have been taken just before the harvest. - Drying was made between 22-23°C and at 55% of humidity (3 days). - Curing before smoke test : 15 days Veg time : 31 days Flowering time : 42 days Total time from seed to harvest : 77 days Height : 26.5cm Pot size : 1.5l COMPARISON BETWEEN THE FOUR PLANTS : -------------------------------------------------- The best plant : Pound Cake - biggest plant, roots and buds. The best yield : Even if I didn't manage to trigger my scale, it's the Pound Cake. The best smell : They all smell pretty good. But the strongest smells were Pound Cake and Orange Sherbet. The best high : I can't tell, but I liked them all 😎 My favorite overall : Pound Cake👌

Defoliation will be done tomorrow

It's time to flip 'em. I'm slowly turning the light off an hour earlier each day so at the end of the week they'll be running at a 12/12 cycle. #3 is clearly more of a indica dominant pheno. As it is much more bushy. The main branch split off in 2, so it apparently topped itself. It's a bit smaller than the other 2, but it's doing good nonetheless. Can't wait to start seeing some pistils. See you next week!
