Since she's the one closest to the outside wall I decided to place some weight on it so it wouldn't grow that much taller and started to grow the lower branches

8/13-19. Hello friends, welcome to week 15. 8/13 Pictures of tricomes today. This is a difficult process to photograph, hold microscope, keep image still, push the button. Phone shakes, start again. Here are a few of them that weren't just a blur across the screen. I would say trichomes are100% milky. New pistils are still forming on multiple buds on both Gaia and Circe. 8/14 Well damn, based on yesterday's question regarding new hairs forming and when to harvest, it appears CBG is harvested early when the trichomes are milky. You DONT wait for amber. Thus, I will be starting the harvesting process today. I have been flushing for several weeks to reverse lockout but just resumed light fertilizer yesterday, not expecting to harvest now. Today, I flushed with 2 gallons of water with 9ml Signal. Signal can act like a flushing agent. I think nutrient residue will be limited. Hopefully, the late harvesting will not be detrimental to the flavor and more importantly the effect. I'm glad I have 1 more seed that i can grow later, hopefully to perfection. I have already turned off the lights in the tent but will keep the fans and vent on. Plants will be in 2 days of darkness before the chop and dry cycle. Some how I miss counted how many edibles we had (or we enjoyed them so much, we ate extra servings). So today I did double baking. Samoa bars and lemon curd brownie bars. Recipe in week 4. These are cake like. Modifications I did, reduce sugar by replacing with monkfruit sugar. The result is not as sweet as a lemon cake. While not required, a lemon glaze would be nice on this. Side note: I am a very organized person. As director of financial reporting, I was responsible for monthly, quarterly and annual reporting. I planned out my major work 18 months before the due date. I prepared the timelines for all reporting and staff deadlines and due dates from supporting departments. Even with multiple schedules for State and local reporting with short deadlines, i never was stressed out. Why, because I know the process, what's involved, how the schedules and numbers interrelate. I'm so new at growing, I still haven't mastered the basics. Having to react all of a sudden to new information (harvesting late) and jump into gear to resolve is stressful to me. I had many setbacks on this grow. Not all were my fault. I followed the TPS1 auto flower dosages by week and still over fed resulting in nutrients lock. Next grow, I'll plan trimming dates, stress training dates and expected harvest dates. I will still use the TPS1but will reduced the autoflower amount to 1/2. Currently I'm researching living soil to use in future grows. 8/16 today I am sad. Sad that my grow is ending, sad that the grow environment was not ideal regarding nutrients, sad that I missed the optimum harvest window. They remain In the dark with fans and vent on.. Also I brought in the outside girls to put in darkness. Since I'm off my schedule, I give you some entertainment. You've been on GD for a while today. Get up and stretch and get cardio. Look up Sidh. See pic. Hot out of Europe, bagpipes like you've never heard before. 8/17 The girls have been in darkness for 2 days with no water. I opened the tent for pictures. Circe had aphids 😱. All the gals came out of the tent for examination. The other 2, Gaia and cream caramel are in air pots and did not have any bugs. Circe seemd to suffer the most from the fertilizer problem so was more stressed and susceptible to pests. Remember, I had to transplant her early on to a fabric bag. The fabric made a nice home for the aphids. This confirms not to use fabric for my weed grows. Today was wet trim and chop. I decided to get wet weight on Circe but hold off on trim. Weighed prior to spraying with the her off with the hose. She is hanging to dry but I am undecided whether to toss her or not. From my question, growers indicated that I was way past the harvest window based on King crown buds and it may have degraded to CBN and to toss. I have hope for Gaia and will take her thru cure and smoke. There are no amber trichomes on either Gaia or Circe at the start of 15 weeks even after missing the chop window. That may be the result of nutrient lockout or that CBG trichomes don't turn amber. If any one knows please let me know. I trimmed cream caramel while hubby trimmed Gaia. These ladies are hanging together in the garage. Circe is there too but on the other side of the room. Everything in the tent came out for alcohol wipe down and sprayed with Fox Farm "Don't Bug Me". Nothing goes back in the tent until I confirm all infestation has been cleared. The soil Circe was growing in has been disposed of in the ditch. The other soils in the air pots will be amended and reused. 8/18 trimmed outside girls. Had some bud damage. Not sure if bud rot or bug/worm damage? 8/19 well after power wash spray and 2 days of hanging, Circe still had a few aphids crawling around. So I chopped to pieces and put in the trash can. I didn't want to bring the infestation to my compost pile. The soil from fabric bag was spread out at the back of the yard. I have all the girls in the tent hanging and drying. So 2 weeks or so for smoke rreview. Wet weights Godesses and tent mates Circe 750g she was the largest. Unfortunate that I had to trash her. Gaia 508g Cream Caramel 616g Gelato 41 358g Outside girls Northern lights 282g Critical +2 120g All plants are hanging in the tent with a fan rotating outside the tent for air circulation. ***** SEEDSMAN DESCRIPTION: CBG, or cannabigerol to give it its full name, has received a lot of attention recently as a 'new' cannabinoid.

Zum ersten Mal habe ich mich im LST versucht. Denke dass ich darin noch etwas zu grob bin. Für konstruktive Kommentare, Kritik und Verbesserungsvorschläge bin ich immer offen und dankbar :)

Hello, my amazing green-thumbed friends! Welcome to the Week 1 flower report for our beloved P.C.R.s. The transition from veg to flower is a magical time, and our plants are already showing signs of their future glory. Let’s dive into the exciting details of this week! Entering the Flower Stage Our P.C.R.s have officially entered the flowering stage, and the transformation is already visible. The stretch has begun, and you can see the plants reaching up, preparing to produce those beautiful buds we’re all waiting for. This stage is all about supporting their growth and ensuring they have everything they need to thrive. NutriSpray Magic This week, we’ve been diligently spraying Aptus Holland NutriSpray, and the results are phenomenal. NutriSpray is like a spa treatment for our plants, providing essential micronutrients directly to the leaves. It helps with nutrient uptake, reduces stress, and boosts overall plant health. Our P.C.R.s are absolutely loving it, standing tall and proud with their leaves praying to the light. Nutrient Transition With the start of the flowering stage, we’ve made some important adjustments to our nutrient regimen. We’ve stopped using StartBooster and replaced it with TopBooster, which promotes flowering and bud formation. Additionally, we’ve introduced P-Boost, a phosphorus booster that enhances root development and flower production. TopBooster: Encourages larger and more abundant flowers. P-Boost: Provides essential phosphorus for robust root and flower development. NutriSpray: Continues to support overall plant health and stress reduction. Optimal Conditions Maintaining the perfect environment is crucial as we move into the flowering stage. Our TDS is now at 360, with a pH of 5.9 and a temperature of 21°C for watering. These conditions are optimal for nutrient uptake and overall plant health, ensuring our P.C.R.s have everything they need to produce those beautiful, resinous buds. Care and Attention Paying close attention to our plants during this stage is key. Regularly inspecting for any signs of stress or nutrient deficiencies and adjusting care as needed ensures our plants stay happy and healthy. The love and care we put into this process are reflected in the vibrant health of our plants. In Conclusion Week 1 of flowering has been all about setting the stage for a bountiful harvest. With the help of Aptus Holland NutriSpray, TopBooster, and P-Boost, along with our careful attention, our P.C.R.s are off to a fantastic start. The excitement is building, and I can’t wait to see how they develop in the coming weeks.

Here we are at the halfway point, after the first month our photoperiodic plants are multiplying their florets and then going into flowering. Slurricane is a lady with low internodal distance. This characteristic greatly influences the application of growing techniques. In this case it is a plant that responds to topping a little slower than the others and it is best to wait for the branches to grow to avoid damaging the little ones. However, we are at 4 florets and between tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we will cut 8. My plan for photoperiodic plants is to get to 16, wait a few days and go into flowering. 16 florets as I see it is the perfect size for the 11 liter pot. Topping is an extremely delicate moment as regards cutting the tops to split them, we always pay attention not to damage the new growing branches. Topping is also a delicate moment as regards fertilization because the plant slows down and absolutely does not need all that nitrogen that it would normally need and that the producers recommend in their sheets. So you should arrive with the plant green and perfectly in shape at this moment and dose the fertilizer very well for growth. Mine came from a slightly deficient veg because I kept it low fearing this over effect during the topping that I know well and now I am a bit over. Nothing to worry about, of course, but if you do repeated topping, my advice is to use preferred soil or prepare the soil with Monster Bud Mix by Zamnesia or Plagron Super Mix, in short, enrich the soil at the start and only add nitrogen if necessary, especially during repeated topping. In any case, everything is under control and I will demonstrate it to you during the flowering phase. Wait for the Uncle BreadandBuds and see what it does to you. Remember that cold temperatures make the girls absorb food much more slowly than in summer, so be careful to give the right amount and let the plant dry in maximum 2 days or you risk imbalances. We are always using soil, feeding and all the recommended additives from Plagron 100& organic, we have only lowered the amount of grow in this topping phase for the reasons mentioned above. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilizer sheet based on the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy...It's a super News! ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11177-zamnesia-seeds-slurricane.html Zamnesia Description // Do you want to add a prestigious genetics to your grow room?

Hi everybody this germination week went great very excited to see how she is .she looks very happy and healthy normally I start them with nothing except for a bit of cal Mag .for the first week then I move on to about 250 parts per million . But I have noticed with these newer genetics that there are a lot hungrier. So I started it off with 350 parts per million . And it seems to be doing great . Thank you for looking at the diary we'll be an update every week and always keep in mind it's 420 somewhere 🌱👍

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.

day 15 (december 19) start of week 3 roots everywhere plant starts to take of now, the hydro is slightly bigger then the soil plant day 17: the hydro plant made a new set of leaves in just 2 days! day 19: i cut off the lowest leaves of both plants. i do this because on any autoflower these leaves produce a stem that wastes a lot of energy on small nugs. day 20: hydro plant got topped (3nodes) day 21: soil plant got topped (3nodes) same strategy with the topping, i do this early (i could pinch them off with my fingers) to reduce the time to recover. the plants bounce back like they didnt feel it and with the lowest leaf and small tiny stems cut off, these plants will produce 6 main stems with nice big and dense buds instead of a huge christmass tree with more leaves than bud.

Money maker strain was very satisfying. High THC. Made and smoked with love in 2017.

I harvested just under an ounce from each of the two plants grown in 4ltr pots.

Le 98e jour se passe bien. La plante rentre dans sa phase finale et termine sa maturation. Les pistils commencent à devenir ambrés. C'est la première fois que j'ai une plante qui dépasse plus de 100 jours en espérant avoir le succès escompté 🌱🙏 La récolte se passe dans une semaine, laissant la place à d'autres petits et de nouvelles aventures dans un nouveau substrat.

Aug 17: great plant. Hit 30 C today, and there was a two minute hail storm late in the day. It sounded very impressive on the roof, but I had moved the pot plants up against the house and they were fine. The rest of the garden took a mild beating. Aug 18: rained all day. Aug 20: sunny yesterday and most of today. Watered with some Kekp extract in the evening. Flowering is progressing and we’re still in mid August so things are looking good. Aug 22: don’t take flash pics of photoperiod plants unless you’re immediately using a 730 nm far red light to put them into dark mode. Aug 23: looking good for the end of another diary week. This Gorilla Cookies is definitely the fastest flowering of the four plants I’m growing this year.

No deficiencies thus far adding some molasses each feeding 1 tbls per gal water

Just started flowering, notify me if you see something i'm doing wrong etc :)

Lower leaves died and so I needed to defoliate plants grew quite a bit in this stage and preflowering shows they are girls temp dropped outside finally and so dehumidifier is constantly running. With a nice 78 degrees 50 rh

OCTOBER 11h to OCTOBER 17th Sunrise: 08:20 | Sunset: 19:03 | Total Daylight: 10:43 This was another pretty good week for weather, however the last couple of days have been cloudy with rain, causing some spikes in greenhouse humidity. Temperatures for the most part have been good, with one overnight low in the greenhouse of 13C. Purple Romulan is doing well but is the furthest behind in reaching maturity of all specimens in garden. Flowers are of decent size, with adequate trichome production. Greenhouse is emitting very strong smells now, mostly a sweet skunk scent. Weather forecast appears as though it will be adequate and manageable temperature wise for the next week. DAY 155 Greenhouse 13C in the morning, with outdoor temperatures down around 3C (frost evident on rooftops in area). 500mL drip of plain rainwater to all specimens. DAY156 1L hand water BTI treated rainwater (no additives); Greenhouse held to 18C overnight, humidity a little high (51%) but dropped as sun rose; Overcast day. DAY 157 Beautiful sunny day, with warm temps; Greenhouse was 18C in the morning. DAY 158 -1C in the morning outside, 13C in the greenhouse, which is fine. Nice sunny day. DAY 159 Overnight low outside 5C, 17.5C in greenhouse, which is ideal. Humidity in check, at 41%. Cloudy, overcast day, with greenhouse heater working to maintain day-time temps of 21C (no solar energy to drive heating). DAY 160 Greenhouse 14C in the morning, 3C outside. Humidity at 41%; Clear morning, with some sun, turning cloudy with light rain in the afternoon, resulting in a humidity spike in greenhouse to 50%. DAY 161 Lots of rain overnight, causing spike in greenhouse humidity to over 60%; Will require monitoring; Temps in the morning 18C in the greenhouse, mild outdoors.

A good week overall! Started out a bit rough, as I noticed some yellowing on the oldest leaves. Unclear exactly what the issue is/was. I'm using soil with organic fertilizers, so over-nutrient seems unlikely to me (very little readily available nutrients, all slow-release, only two waterings up to that point). But some folks on different forums think it may be nutrient burn. Alternatively, it could just be lack of light on these leaves (they are very shaded) and touching the soil. Regardless, while researching I noticed that my humidity was way down, hovering nearing 35%. The tent is in a dehumidified basement so this makes sense. Based on VPD charts this seemed non-ideal for the plant, so I added a small humidifier and a RH PID controller. Humidity stays around 55-60% now, which is a nice compromise between keeping humidity up in the tent and not fihgting the basement dehumidifier too much. I also drilled some holes in the container to help air out the soil faster... a DIY janky airpot :) Throughout the rest of the week, LST ties were adjusted and heavily obscured leaves were pruned off. I also started pruning off bud sites that were pointing downwards, in an effort to reduce clutter and wasted resources. All in all, she's looking pretty good. I'll probably flip in the next week or so. I would love to give it some more time to veg, but have a schedule I need to keep later this fall. This strain supposedly flowers in 6-7 weeks, so we'll see :)

day 14 flower and those buds are just starting to peak out! the plant is happy and healthy :)
