********* Week 11 - June 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 71 to 77 from germination ***********
*
It is the end of flush week and she went into darkness on Wednesday night, day 75, for two days. Saturday will be harvest day and start and the dry process👍
This week she continued to fill in and she also pushed out more frosty tricombs!! The fade happened this week more and she fed off of more of the nutrients within the plant.....perfect😃......would like a little more even but she was ready based on tricombs. Would like to have seen the lower leaves a little more yellow but its good.
I am feeling very strongly that the big part of the pH issues this run was a change in feed water. I have always used bottled RO water for all my grows, except outdoors, but this grow I switched to tap water. Dechlorinated the water with air stone and gave it 24 hours min before using. Wanted to save some money and tired of lugging bottles downstairs a couple of times a week☹️ This is worked out nicely and a lot more convenient. However, the city must be putting some crap in the water that is causing issues in my media and raises the pH after the watering. Out of the tap it is 8.4pH and 275ppm. Since ppm were not too bad in my opinion I moved forward without filtering the water.......oops🤬🤬🤬 Out of options on what is causing the issue, I switched back to RO water late last week........all the girls are happier!!!! F......missed the cause for weeks. Always learning from this plant and my own mistakes to get better every run😉👍
Also wanted to add a little more stress to girl to help push out some increased resin. I drilled a 5/16” hole into the main stem to cause her stress. I did this rather than trying to break a branch and will see it goes this run. Sterilized a new bit in Alcohol and went for it. They went into darkness about a couple of hours later. Excited to see what happens when she comes out to get chopped😃😃
Not really a lot more to add this week as it was mainly looking at the tricombs and her buds. The pH will impact the harvest but she has been fun to grow and very resilient to pest and bug issues as well as grower curve balls. As always.......nice job Sweet Seeds....... SWS56 is very solid and I look forward to running her again one day. Beautiful little girl and makes me smile😃😃😃
Little more detail......
June 20/20 - Day 71
- Rezin and Liquid Weight @ 2ml/L = 285ppm and 4.0pH
- 8L given to get a good flush....pH still running around 7.4
- Runoff in pots already were 7.9pH and 685ppm.
- after 8L water runoff was 7.4pH and 360ppm.
- she is 20” tall and 24” wide.
- a number of clear tricombs but more becoming cloudy.
June 21/20 - Day 72
- dry out day.
- buds are firming up......squeezed a couple🧐
June 22/20 - Day 73
- Rezin @ 1ml/L = 120ppm and pH the water to 2.7!!!!!!!!!
- Given 2L watering.
- No runoff water and I am good with that as I want the low pH water to stay in the medium.
- her frost levels are really coming out now.....was able to lower tent temps to 75 degrees and 51% humidity......its been raining a bit so damn humidity has been high.
June 23/20 - Day 74
- 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 2.4!!!!!!
- not excited about these crazy low pH numbers but doing what we can
- her tops are getting more pointy now and ripening nicely
- leaves continue to fade......she is close
- checking tricombs, I think we are done and tomorrow will be her last day so that I can take down on Saturday.
June 24/20 - Day 75
- 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 3.0
- Going into darkness tonight so this was her last bit of moisture.
- drilled a hole into the stem.....was going to do a couple of holes but not trying this method before I decided to leave it with one hole.
- into darkness tonight
So we finish up the week with her in the dark. Next update will be the harvest!!
Thanks very much for taking the time to review my diary!! Sorry for running behind often on this run.........everyone has had a busy life the last couple of months in the world and its been no different here...........a huge Kudos to all the Growmie‘s that are able to keep up with their diaries on daily basis on GrowDiaries.......its a commitment😃👍👍
Sweet Seeds girls are very solid genetics with great vigour and resilience.......this strain is no different........great job Sweet Seeds🙏

While I was away in Mallorca, enjoying the sun and smoking some Sativa Landrace, the girls were given a more simple feed to make things easier for my friend whilst he was taking care of the garden.
The feedings came to around 700ppm (Including 150-190ppm tap water).
As you can see in the video I've been bending her down for a couple of days instead of tying a string to her. It's just a lazy LST that should basically do the same thing.
This girl has really impressed me with her growth and bushy structure. She's responded very well from topping and just wants to carry on.
Every second feed from here on out will also contain Mammoth P for the first time in my garden! 🐺

No watering today, soil still a little to moist for my liking. Will probably water with fert when I do though. Raised the netting and rotated the pot so i can continue my SCoG.
thats all for this week.
Any info or tips always appreciated

I absolutely love to watch them grow! Especially that moment they hit their first growth spurt.
I started with RO water that is remineralized for drinking purposes. The ppm is only 18! My tap is 156! So considering they don’t need much water, I’ve been stealing some of our drinking water. The RO water starts at pH of 7. After I add the nutrients, ppm of 249 @ pH of 5.8 while soil is still sweet @ pH of 7
I think my days are off as a new week begins on the last day of the previous week. I am going to leave that for consistency.
04/21 - Noticing some possible nutrient issues with the Fruity Pebbles for several days now. Going to see what she needs. Up front I’m thinking maybe just a super small amount of Amino Acids with a little Epsom Salt. Maybe she is struggling to access the nitrates from the neem cake. IF it’s a issues with nitrogen. We will see. Maybe she would benefit from some extra calcium?… Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Day 22 and I am noticing how these girls have been burning up a lot of potassium lately, dealing with the wind and sun 💨 ☀️, getting pushed around all day.
I plant to top dress with some Kelp Meal pretty soon.
Day 24 -> 4/22/22- a quote from the weather on today’s red flag warning and dust storm warning.
“ HAZARD...Less than a quarter mile visibility with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. SOURCE...Satellite imagery. IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel.”
I’m keeping the girls inside today.
Day 26, I was planning to check the runoff on some of these girls, especially the fruity pebbles, however I messed that up as I also top dressed WAY too much of the seaweed bliss. So I flushed with plain RO water at pH of 7 until there was only slight coloration in the runoff. I didn’t check the runoff as a lot has changed with all that flushing. So next watering/feeding I will make sure I check the runoff on multiple plants.
So the seaweed bliss with its 17 on potassium, seems to be the most likely culprit for why there is a bronze-ish color on the inside of the new growth. Hopefully a foliar feed of Epsom salts can correct the problem. Inside tent, lights on LOW. Noticing similar pattern in all of them to a degree, most noticeable in the fruity pebbles.

Day 31 - 38
(Day 32) I’m going to lower the humidity in the room to 55-60.
Still no bananas but I’m still quite worried about #3 fully popping and ruining my whole crop. Since there is a good chance it’s going to herm, I’m going to give it with a small feeding today and watch it like a hawk this week.
I think the boost actually made a decent difference in #5 from last week. I’m seeing slightly fatter main colas but that could just be from less topping/smaller plant or less nitrogen. I’ve decided to push my luck and give a boost to each plant. These things just aren’t filling out like they should. They look like they are on day 23 not 33. I’m going to top dress 3 tablespoons of 1-4-2 Destiny launch and later tonight I’m going to water in a low strength feeding of 0-0-15 kelp extract.
I’m going to give a final heaping tablespoon of nature’s pride bloom to #5 so it can stretch to the end.
I’m also going to lower the lights by a few inches. The tallest cola is now about 13 inches away and the rest of the canopy is at about 18–24. If I see signs of light stress I’ll raise it back up but I’m sure it could use the extra light on the lowers.
(Day 33) I’ve been reading that bigger plants just take longer to mature and that’s probably why my plant hasn’t fully filled out or is about a week behind. I still could have done a better job defoliating some of the smaller larf branches on the bottom which just robs the good branches of energy. The more I think about it, the more I think I did a very poor job of defoliating the middle canopy. I’m still seeing lots of larf and small buds on the inside not getting much light. I’m still really worried about herms after finding that branch so I don’t want to stress them anymore. Removing suckers now is pointless. I missed my window of opportunity and now I have to deal with it.
I’m going to slide an old DVD player underneath #6 to bring it up to canopy level. It’s lower buds are definitely not getting enough light.
(Day 34) Ever since lowering the light, the canopy has gotten a few degrees warmer.
I’ve noticed the buds don’t feel as sticky on top compared to the lower tucked branches that feel almost wet with resin. Outdoor weed grown in my climate will never reach the temperature where it degrades resin luckily.
(Day 36) The buds are definitely swelling but not to the degree I want. Call me picky but I prefer my nugs as chunky as possible. I’m seeing lots of pistils but not much nug matter. Ive heard too many pistils can be caused by the overuse of alfalfa, kelp and seaweed extracts because of the natural PGR’s in them. I’m definitely going to reduce the amount of that stuff I use next round. I hope I’m just wrong and this tent is going to really fatten up this week but I have my doubts.
(Day 37) A purple fade is starting on the underside of every plant except the bush who still is super dark green still. Last watering I got a nice amount of runoff so I’m just going to leave her until the end. I’m seeing a bit of yellowing on #5. I’m going to give it one final full strength feeding plus some rock dust and oyster shell tomorrow and that’s a wrap for nutrients. I might as well hit everything else with a final low strength 0-0-15 too.
(Day 38) I’m amazed at how much this stuff smells compared to my last round. It smells very earthy and floral with a hint of pine. Definitely not that gassy smelling pine but more of a sweet pine.

Hey friends, we have hit day 26!
Seemed like close to the right time to throw in some bloom nutes. I decided to add some carbs too. One pheno looks like it's budding already. Let's see how this plays out

The seeds that I thought I found were a false alarm, looked a lot like seeds built up and was super hard in texture but this week it popped and it was just some weird foxtailing I guess.
Trichomes are about 20% clear 60-70% milky and very few ember.
Very certain that I will chop her next week, this time for real.
This grow is a rollercoaster of emotions, that is for sure.
Values are average of the day.

Week 14, week 4 of flowering,
Looking at the Buds and telling myself they still have a full month left to get fatter and fatter and fatter ... 😄
Lemon Cream Kush ... look at it, big massive donkey dicks buds. Hopefully they finished their stretch by growing 3 x times in size and not more. This plant is perfect to fill up a ScrOG very quickly.
Bubblegum, compact structure with vey dense and big buds, the pictures talk by themselves. Stretch controllable, doesn’t goes higher than the common 2 x in size 👍
Moon Walker Kush, is a proper Kush, Indica phenotype, stays short 1.8 x in size, with compact and dense colas. Perfect for growing Indoor in a tent.
Strawberry is a very delicate Sativa, must be fed correctly. Fast flowering Sativa, proper Sativa leaves and structure with the size and a flowering period typical to Indica’s.
Switching nutrients Bio 8-2-2 for the Alga-Max. Reaching maximum feeding solution, plants and buds development are doing very well as you can see by the pictures and the video.
Growing my shitty ones in the middle, not feeding them since the beginning when the EC of the soil was too high for them, now going into some deficiency as shown in the pictures. It’s always good to keep the shitty plants for your experiments 😉
Stay tuned folks, we might catch Tarzan or Moogly on camera next week... we never know 🤣
(I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

Week 9 and Tamara her Flower week is quite silent. But after 2 stressfull weeks it‘s nice to have a Look how Beautiful she grow and develops. Every day I Open The Box to her I am more and more in love with her. Maybe you feel the same, but you can only see her on pics…in real life it’s awesome with this kind of plant and my Tamara …

Was bummed out plant got red mites at the end but that’s fine, it didn’t not impact the grow (or at least I didn’t notice.)
Harvested at the end of the 6th week of flower. Trichomes had already started turning amber due to heat degradation (couch lock party) what trichomes that were not dust ridden or amber was milky so I’d say it’s ready.
Choosing the best time to harvest is still puzzling for me due to the fact that this is my 4th time harvesting cannabis.
Thanks for reading... more info to come ...TBC

Now that she is standing in a tent, she develops much better. Let's see what she will do in flower mode
