Amazing growth. Pleased with these new LEDs. Lollipopped & defoliated, tried to leave some on the bottom, will probably pick a few more off this week Reducing lights to 11/13 and then to 10/14 at week 6. Trying something.(Emulating an autumn/fall environment with temprature drops also) Hopefully I can get the nice purple colours to come out. Will also be adding Deep Red now. UVA has been on all flower.

Servus Moin! Die Black Orchard hat wohl ein wenig Hitzestress und sie war dadurch zu lange nass. Das hat ein wenig die Blätter missgebildet und eingerollt. Mal schauen ob es wirklich nur der Stress war.

Week 11 (03/04 - 09/04) During this week I'll continue to flush the plants. I guess that this will be the last week for all of them. I'm waiting to chop in order to obtain a balance of 60/40 or 70/30 of milky/amber trichomes. Moreover, due to the fact that I have to use the same growbox to dry them, I must cut all the plants the same day. Doing this I think I'll have a more mature Fat Banana #2 and, I hope, a good variety of Blue cheese and Fat Banana #1. 03/04 D71: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.3. Trichomes check: all three plants show milky trichomes for the most; few amber on the main branches of two fat bananas 04/04 D72: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.3 05/04 D73: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.5 06/04 D74: - 07/04 D75: end of the journey. Chopped all today. Light wet trimming to avoid rot and I've put them drying in the grow room. I will wait a couple of week

I don't think I could have got 6 of these in my grow space they need a lot of room and airflow. nice strain looking forward to testing the strength.in my TCHECK METER. 18.2% THCa. lesson learned on pruning airflow and RH all very important I caught the bud rot right away I will keep a close eye on the dry and cure for mold. fingers crossed I will not have it. going to do a sulfur burn in tent and garage to reset for next grow. 000

🌞 The week started with moderate (25°C) summer temperatures 🌡️🌡️🌡️ But the day before yesterday and yesterday we had hot (+25°C) temperatures again 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Fourth week of Light Deprivation 👉👉👉👉Every morning at 9:00 am I move the plants to the greenhouse. 👉👉👉👉Every evening at 9:00 pm I move the plants (together with some other strains) inside the growroom (which I don't use in the summer) ➡️ The buds are filling up, more and more trichomes, and every day they start to smell stronger 👃👃👃 👉Once this week I boost the plants with gift of water enriched with OPF 7:2:3 ; Fulvic 25 ; Yuccah ; Biovin liquid ; Earthworm compost extract ⭐Big Thanks to Luc from Plant Health Solutions / Bioplantenvoeding dot nl ⭐ Plant #1 ; height : 140 cm Plant #2 ; height : 128 cm Plant #3 ; height : 111 cm

I´m so excited. This year I´m trying my luck with a real guerilla grow. The magic here is that I don´t know if I will actually harvest anything, but if I do, I will treasure it more than any 'safe' grow that I have ever done. Watch the video to see if the plants are still there.

📋Comment I do like this strain, I wouldn't have joined this competition if I didn't like it. 📋 Data Seed to havest=105 days. Veg time=28 days. Flower time=77 days. Wet weight=609g Dry weight=g 📋 Smoke report Not dried yet but I'd imagine it's just like the other Runtz I have grown. 📋Grow stats for GDG 23 #1 Runtz=g #2 Fat Bastard=g Total=g Lights on. 20hrs×7days=140hrs 18hrs×21days=378hrs 12hrs×77days=924hrs Total hours=1442hrs Light power=147.73Kw Rad power=105.69Kw Extractor=34.12Kw 4 gang=47.02Kw Top fan=17.72Kw Total electricity=352.28KW Electricity cost @£0.25/Kw=£88.07 Average light power a day=1.4Kw Average watt per hour=102w g/watt=(÷)=g/w £/g=£/g 📋Final word. This diary isn't finished. I'm just trying to complete as much as possible to have a better chance at the Eternity competition. I will be updating it when I have dried the grow. Back soon. Take it easy. ********************************************

She is smelling up! I think I stressed her out...there are ball shapes near where the bud is at.

this is weeks 5 and 6.I topped them and trained the branches out to the side. Plus I broke one... I tried to save it but it broke again later

Die Große ...wächst immer noch... wann kommt das Bulking? Bonzai hat sich nicht viel bewegt... nicht nur gemächlich sondern auch noch faul?

She was an easy grow and gave me a decent yield. 2 oz plus 22 grams of larfy lowers from the bottom inner of the mainline. She smells and tastes amazing. Very potent auto that has me ripped on first smoke. Made for great rosin as well

got bitten by a spider and realized i was always wondering what my spiritual animal was, and realized it was spiders after that awakening of asking mother natures help me and spiders made a blood pack and since then nature has been helping me out by protecting my plants, from thieves and bad rotten people. and nature gave me spiders to protect my children. one of my spiders thats protecting the rooibaard is called GREGGK.

2nd week of flower and shes going hard! sun 1.5 inches mon 12.5 tues 13.5 wed 15.0 Thurs 16.0 Friday 18.0. Woo look at her go! Sat 19.5 did minor, very minor LST. just enough to help guide the tops out for light. only removed leaves really blocking bud sites. like 4-6 total. Smooth and easy for now! Very exciting!

Dusted with diatomaceous earth

Day 29: She’s growing fast now. I’m trying to keep her short with continuous LST. I think I saw the first pre-flower on day 28. Day 30: There were too many leaves, so I did a huge defoliation to free up lower branches. Day 31: She reacted in the best way possible to the defoliation. Look at the amazing growth from 4:30AM to 11AM. 😜 Later that day I did a SUPER CROPPING (hyper would be better) on EVERY branch I could see. I know, that’s a crazy, fool, move, but if I don’t do stuff like this I’m not happy. Many hearts for you, lovely Stress Killer. I know you hate me now, but it’s for your best interests! Day 32: Recovering from super cropping. Day 33: Almost totally recovered, creating new branches, strengthening existing ones and showing new pre-flowers. Veery nice!

I added a second layer of trellis and everything is looking nice and filled in. I will be defoliating and cleaning up the lowers on 11/9/18 (day 21) for better light penetration. I think everything is pretty much done stretching for the most part now time to start fattening up. Got some samples of Fish Sh!t organic soil conditioner from the local hydro store that claims to increase yield, flavor, and nutrient uptake so I will be adding it in the mix to see if I notice anything different.

Did some defoliation and lollipopping but Iam sick since some days so I didn’t do perfect but still something . Watered on day 9 with calmag and biogrow(for some nitrogen) . Had the dli to high on 55 and turns down to 45. Some small signs of calmag deficiency on upper leaves . A light fruity smell is slowly introducing himself

My Critical Purple has not started flowering as of week 9 😱, topped the CP 5-28 ....The Northern Lights is, Growing out and filling in this week ✌️🌱✌️
