New tent is up! YAY!!! I have my 3 FastBuds BlackBerry Auto’s in the new 2x4 tent along with 2 Cherry seedlings and 3 freshly cut clones. The new tent is actually a used tent that was given to me. They did not have the support poles, so I had to build the frame out of wood. I’m happy with the way it turned out. Back to the plants…. I’m starting to call this Flowering now, instead of Veg, because 2 of the 3 Blackberry’s are well into bud development. The first Blackberry is smallish and only really showing one main cola, instead of many branches. But her color is really nice, I love the purple. The second Blackberry is taller than the first even though she was started about a week after. She is developing more branches and is starting to show some nice bud sites also. Blackberry number 3 is the youngest, about 3 weeks old now, she’s still small now, but I expect her to start growing and stretching out any day now. Ultimately, I’m betting Blackberry number 3 grows bigger than either of the first two.

its been ages since my last post. plants went through so much, can't believe they're looking so good now. A fan inside my led light stopped working so light was overheating. quickly ordered a second hand light so i could let this one get repaired. now back with the original light. finally also almost 100% thrips free (made a spray from neem oil and soap couple weeks ago) just defoliated the plants for a second time to make sure all tops are in direct light. only kept 4 plants by the way, I waited with switching the light schedule until they looked healthy enough, so they overgrew the tent altogether. also had extreme humidity when lights were off (up to 80%) so i ordered a dehumidifier which took 2 weeks longer to be delivered. Jup, we been through hell and back, but we're still going, strong that isss. I'm happy guys!!

The first 2 Blackberry’s are stretching and developing bud sites. These 2 are a bit small, but the purple in number 1 is coming in nicely. I think the 3rd will be the champion of the bunch and outgrow her big sisters. My fault for trying to get a head start by a few weeks on the first 2 in less than ideal conditions. Live and learn. I’m going to keep all plants growing so everyone can see the good, the bad and the ugly. (I bet the ugly still gets me high as fuck!) 😜 New tents coming soon too. Another 2x4 and a 4x8. 👍

All going well so far, as this is the first run with GTH and a 10 week flwr grow, it seems that they take a few extra week so to show flowers, Flowers are showing now . I have been bending the tops down to allow the nodes to turn up to encourage more individual heads . MY canopy Is full now . I HAVE removed a lot of leaves to let the light penetrate through the canopy. I am happy 😊 I will start giving some mills c4 that I have left , it is a gentle pk, next week I will give them monster bloom as it is a heavy pk, I am just building them up

I had a great feeling of accomplishment as I harvested Daphne today. She was the first plant I have brought to life in many years and I was impressed with how the A.B.L.E. Grow Chamber worked. I will let her dry out for a week then I will update more.......It has been a week and I am more than happy with her smoke. VERY SMOOTH no harshness. Great after taste. Even though she was a small plant she still did extremely well in all other factors,: great color, no disease, good tie down technique made for 6 tops with one main one. I will use a single 5 gal bucket for my hydro next grow to see if I get better root growth than with the 6 plant reservoir I used for this operation. The grow chamber allowed me to control the humidity, air temp, pH and PPM with relative ease. I am very happy with my first grow operation with the ABLE Grow Chamber and hope my diary was informative and entertaining for everyone. Main thing i did wrong was my fuck up with keeping the LED too close when she was a seedling. I had it at 10". (it was my 1st time w LEDs.) Secondly, I never got good root growth but not sure why. my theory is that light was seeping through the white plastic cover on the Rainforest 66 reservoir. The best thing I did was controlling all the factors needed to grow with my A.B.L.E Grow Chamber Prototype. It made great use of limited space and saved electricity with its low power usage. Look forward to using it one more time before we make the first salable model. 0

D64/F12 - 11.18 - Been a really incredible week for these ladies. All of them are thriving with lovely prebuds <3 D67/F15 - 11.21 - Lovely progress. Even the least beautiful plant in the garden is reaching above the peony rings :) D70/F18 - 11.24 - Pretty aggressive defoliation on these ladies today. They responded great last round, so I expect to see the start to put a lot of weight on soon. The black sugars (second column of three from the left) we way more leafy than the fast white widows

Flushed the Biggest plant sataday flushed the others today, two week maybe less with Justin plain water, the smell is just nextlevel 👌🏻

Song of the week : ------- Day 57 - This week starts with a bit of Hst for the shape and some leaves knitting for a better light penetration . By the way I made a video to show you how to knit your leaves instead of cutting them cuz I'm not a defoliation enthusiast. The stretch is good but this grow is a bit chaotic since I had an unexpected stretch during the veg This week will also be the feeding week 😁👍 ------- Day 63 - Last day of the week , the shape is now built and the flowering will come soon ( I hope ) She received nutrients this week with 1.5ec of Mega crop and as she seems to like it she will 'receive some more today 😁

Did the switch i was talking about last week, moved my tent plants to the closet and closet plants to the tent. Made a video explaining briefly my rationale behind it. Hopefully they will speed up growth in my warm closet. The next week will be an update for when ALL the plants are starting 🌼. Ill also be starting them on that Fox Farm Big Bloom i was talking about last week, and supplementing them with some Cal-mag by Botanicare as well. Cheers all, you wont be seeing me until there's visible flowers in the closet! ✌️

She was topped for the last time, 16 apical summits were born 😎. She has been under x2 MarsHydro PAR38 LED bulbs for a week, but I think she didn't like those. She developed some burnt spots, my guess is that IKEA bulbs are safer than MarsHydro ones. Plus, I'm getting sick of those pink-ish lights. I sold my x2 COBs to buy x3 LM301B PCB boards (QB-style, in my opinion one of the best ways to go nowadays). Otherwise she looks great, I'm having hard times trying to keep everything symmetrical but this will be easier as soon as I plug my new quantumboards in the tent. Stay tuned folks 👋

Today is 11/17/18. This is the final day before the SWITCH to 12/12 lighting schedule. I watered with nutes of 832 ppm, ph. 6.1, temp 78. I pray I have 4 females, if not, at least 2 of the 4. Today is 11/18/18 and WOW, when i opened the tent when the lights came on, my plants had grown an entire inch over that 12 hour darkness period. I wish I had been told to leave them in the dark for 1-3 days then do the 12/12 but oh well still a great 1st time learning experience to see all this step-by-step. Today 11/23/18,watered with cal-mag only. 11/25/18, Bagseed #1 is a male, he has went to cannabis heaven, R.I.P.

Update: I made a Flowering feed guide for myself so I figured I would share it. I'm going to do a small flush on them soon to remove nutrient buildup. I'm sure it will help finished quality. The first girl has been stretching all week. I have had to LST branches to keep her short. I hope she is done stretching but if not I will just keep tying branches down. She did make it too close to a light and it burned one of her buds. It did not cause any issues tho. On the second girl I was tying down the main stem and damn near snapped it off. I freaked out and cried IRL. 😭 I braced the top broken half and taped it up then I gave her a large dose of Silica and Recharge to help her recover. Only the broken top of the main stem went a droopy for 4 days and she almost stopped growing. She developed some rust spots on some of her fan leafs. I gave her Cal-Mag the second I saw the spots developing but they developed regardless. My guess is that she used energy in her fan leafs to help her recover. The good news is she looks fully recovered. 👊 I can feel a knot where the break is, very fast recovery for such a bad break. For sure this was my worst LTS accident to date. I will get a pictures of the break when I feel comfortable removing the tape. I upgraded there lights with 2x 100w 3000k flood lights with the lens plate removed. I have had really good results with these lights in previous grows and they are thin so they fit perfectly. I now have: 2x Castnoo 300s (really 100w) 1 Grow Star 150 UFO(really 70w) 2x Viugreum 100w 3000k thin flood lights (really 60w) 2x MAIICY 45w (really 30w) That's a total of 450 true watts. 225w for each of these girls. Very bright inside. Maybe over kill?

She is doomed 😂 We hung her for about 4 days and then had a smoke. Lemon flavor like her mother (Critical Plus) and a nice high like her mother. As I said on the last update I will just switch this diary over to the other Quick Critical I didn’t choose as a mother plant. She looks much better than this one ever did. She is about 2 weeks behind (17 days) so the diary weeks won’t match but I’ll be sure to label the weekly photos.

Nice growth and bud developtment. Hps still doing its thing while im sitting back and relaxing. Got to keep an hawk eye on watering. I feed full strenght going over to full canna so they were transplanted into soil. Clones doing good but the Lemon skunk clone dont feel to good. Lets see what the week will bring.

we are getting on week 4 and we have become for the stranger'seeds Bank, 2 seeds one l.a.kush and one blueafghan + sourdiesel , the two of them are amazing growing fast and become these week the training, we topped one and the other just with LST. these new brand show really good genetics, a good giod mix of Strains to. follow our YouTube and Instagram channel for daily video's.

Week 3 of flowering has started! More defoliation and loolipoping is going on and is passing the surface of the SOG... buds keep fattening, although this light is very poor I think inhave mentioned that before!!

Well the leafs are turning yellow allot and quickly. But so far the buds are still nice and green. Buds are getting nice and frosty too. buds are getting denser so thats good too. So far so good. 2 weeks left still as you can see not all the pistilles are red yet. 🙏🙏
