So, now I consider the little ladies are entering the vegetation phase, leaves are getting bigger and they are more aesthetic now in relation to the stem, Still under the t5 light, the chocolate almost touching the lamp but no problem with that. Just put them inside of a card box, more warm and I think they react nicely to that :) maybe one more week and they're going to the 10L pots and under the 400w agrolite, and we reach the pure grow phase ;) . What do you say?! Thanks for your time and happy grow to everyone! Little update 13/03 My babies still growing nice, no problems or at least no big ones... I think the marks on the chocolate leaves are dissapearing, she's doing it :) The spirit is on its way too, super healthy. Update 16/03 So! First feeding for the little ones. Actually I put 1ml in an half litre bottle and gave them just half bottle cause about 20% of water run out and I think that was pretty enough for now. I want to go slowly on nutrients to make sure they accept it well. Bye bye! Update 18/03 They are loving biogrow, no problems. The transplant day is coming, I need to find the best moment to do that.

only 1 ft left before plant touch led panel i miss info about stretch! manque d espace reste 1 pied avant que la c99 touch mes panneau led et les panneau sont au max en hauteur jvais trouver une solution!!!!

Hello. this is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of veg. What good luck... I've got 7 females and 1 good male out of 9 plants. I killed 1 male and 1 seed didn't pop. Things are going well... The last undecided plant turned out to be a female. So I'm already to repot them and put them in the tent. I've got a 5x5 tent with a Spider Farmer Light, SF4000 in there. I think I'll have to get more soilless soil. I use Sunshine Mix #4. I usually get 4 bales to get me through a year. Lots of big spiders in my yard this year. The bees are sure taking a beating though. I haven't seen one in days. No wasps or mosquitos too. Hope your enjoying the comics. Have Fun. Chuck.

Send them into Flower at Day 36 Used Scrog net on Day 38 + 1.5l water fertilized with top-Max, BioBloom, BioGrow for every plant. One Runtz got a little LST Ladies looking great 💚

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

This one got a late transplant it's only been in the new pot for 2 or 3 days, the other one is still in a solo cup I might put it in a 1 gallon bag as a back up but I'm tryin to keep it to 1 of each strain other than the gelato and lemon ak. They got moved into the 4x4 with the jimmy rigged 180w quantum board light built from ceiling tile grid. The tnb co2 is newish but I gotta get the heat up and bring in a more powerful light to take full advantage.

Plan to harvest on Sunday thats day 60 and I spotted a little pm on a few of the lowers so its time to cut. Added flora clean Sunday will go straight water today. Can't wait. So far on my strain hunt I'm gonna retire the mango and headband (cause I've had these genetics for a year) the enemy's dream because it's small and I didnt take clones in time and I'm on the fence about the Skywalker so ill wait til I give it one more shot indoors and once outside. And I'm on the fence about the white widow since I've had it before. Gotta make some hard choices especially if I get that order in to seedsman before the sale ends. Next grow will be: Alaskan Purple Gelato og Do-si-Do Bruce Banger Runts Skywalker og White Widow Amnesia Haze Followed by the same strains outdoor. I'm thinkn about ordering seedsman 3 new 420 strains and sum moonbow or moonboots any thoughts?

Hi Gromie's Welcome to my Experimental & tent filler grow. 2 Orange sherbet FF FASTBUD CLONES that were left over when transplanting my current other FF FASTBUD clones into final 15 ltr pots. Originally had 4 left over however due to my mistreatment & lazyness at the time, only feeding/watering every 3 to 4 days, which caused slowed growth, the other 2 died & these 2 were brought back from the brink of death! Picture of them in white container next to current flower run. Transplanted from small pots into net pots, plant#1 had 1 small root protruding from pot, #2 had 1 little main root not even growing out of pot! Put them into 15 ltr Dwc pots running 2 airlines & stones per plant to give plenty of oxygen & help combat any root issues & quick growth. Hot temps as it's summer rising the same temps as environment inside tent. Have been placing frozen water bottles into pots to reduce temps. Add 2 frozen bottles per pot, reduced temps right down to around 17°c. Change bottles out twice a day. Temps slowly rise over extended period until ice melts. Experimenting with different training methods, lst ,hst Mainly super croping. Have been Hst bending, pinching stems & roughing them up.which causes the stems to grow stronger, repairing themselves along the way as well as the hst bending, I also go around & pinch/ squash the stems every few inches which really strengthens the stems & branches! In fact I've done no tying down! I've managed to create a flat table top canopy with out tying down to hold shape. Super crop them over, they grow strong stems & hold that shape, as they grow out they always start to grow back up towards the light & I continue the process of bending, pinching & damaging stems so they grow strong & hold shape by them selves. Going well & it doesn't seem to slow them down much at all, given I grow perpetually using separate veg & Flower tents makes it impossible to train through scrog net in veg! Trying to train an established plant through a scrog can be difficult & easy to damage or break branches . However I like the benefits off scrogging so looked at a way to make it easier to scrog already veged plants. This is the training methods I've come up with, taking & incorporating established training methods of various soughts to create plants with flat table top canopy. That way when moved to flower tent I can just lower scrog net over the top of plants to hold them in that shape & train through the net as they go through flowering stretch, making it a lot easier! I've come up with a name for it & I'm calling it the pre scrog ! Method of training. In fact it seems to be going so good that the plan is to see if I can scrog them without a scrog net as they are holding that table top canopy shape & have super strong stems that are solid as a rock, can't squeeze or pinch repaired stems, they are super strong, holding shape & should be able to support the weight of the buds, lower growth already lolliepoped as I don't see the point growing that lower growth out just to lolliepop it & remove it once in flower. It's similar to why I grow relatively short plants when scrogging. I see some growers growing 2 to 4 foot plants which take longer to veg only to lolliepop & remove bottom half to 3/4 of the growth, so you end up with 2 foot of bare lolliepoped stems & branches under canopy? Each to their own/I guess. I grow mine around a foot before putting into flower so there's between 20 to 30 cm of lolliepoped stems under the canopy & a foot or 2 trained through scrog net & above .

Cut down on day 110, after 30 hours of darkness.. Added ice blocks to the substrate over the last couple days and got some lovely red and purple notes from it... Found one more spot of mould in a main cola, total loss of 40 grams of wet flower. Not a huge problem seeing as I still have colas the size of my forearm. Half wet trimmed on the large colas to reduce risk of mould, left less dense and smaller nugs with most leaves on to aid a slow dry. Hung in as little light possible in ~19°c at ~55%RH with filtered air from outside and extract system, dehumidifier circulating air in the room. Air refresh rate is ~90 seconds.

Res change at day 29. Have to lower nitrogen a bit cause its clawing and pretty dark. Otherways everything is just fine and it grows nice. Ad calmag 5ml to 20L.

Things have been moving right along today is the last day I’ll give nutritions then will be flushing the rest of the week hoping to harvest next weekend! Smell is mild but dank for sure!! Sweet and rich, kinda get a hint of some coffee smell lol any ways, sticky to the touch and boy do my fingers smell dank haha 🤤

Wow Gnome Autos, while I seem to not have grew the blue pheno, the response and multiple budsites just from lst is amazing. She's behind her colleagues in the tent but definitely the largest of them. Really excited about this strain and up and coming breeder. ✌️ ❤️ 🌳 P.s. Gnome autos if you see this hook a growmie up with an Anvil bean or 2, I can't find them anywhere 😅

🌱 **Week 8 of my Orange Bud Car - An incredible trip! **🌈 We have reached the **eighth week** of growth of my beloved Orange Bud Auto and, let me tell you, the route was nothing short of extraordinary! 🚀 ### 🌞 **Wedding light with PHLIZON FD8000! ** 💡 In this crucial phase, the **1000W** PHLIZON FD8000** lamp proved to be my best ally. 🌟 Thanks to its power and full-spectrum lighting, I noticed a significant increase in the rate of photosynthesis. My plants have developed wider and healthier leaves, with an intense green that makes them shine like precious gems! 💚 ### ⚡ **Heat Management: The key to success! **🔥 One thing I learned is how important heat management is. Thanks to the good balance of the temperature that the PHLIZON manages to maintain, I had no problems with overheating. I set the lamp at a distance of **60 cm** from the plants and used a strategic fan to maintain perfect air circulation. My friends wouldn't believe me, but I almost heard the plants applaud for the freshness! ### 🌿 **Nutrition: the secret of health! ** 🥇 Let's move on to the **nutrition** chapter! The **Advanced Nutrients** line has really transformed my cultivation routine. In particular, the **Cal-Mag** played a crucial role in addressing any nutrient deficiencies. I have administered Cal-Mag during the last few weeks, noticing a noticeable improvement in the appearance and robustness of the leaves. 🌳 They look sleek and vibrant, and my shoots look more vigorous than ever! 💪 ### 🔄 **Set up upgrade: a choice that paid off! ** ⚙️ Speaking of changes, my recent set up upgrade had a significant impact. I replaced the old fans with quieter and more efficient models, ensuring the right air flow without disturbing my evening relaxation in the grow room. And if you're wondering if the cost is worth the candle: absolutely yes! ✨ ### ❓ **Request for advice: control units for temperature control! ** 🛠️ At this point, I turn to you, illustrious growers! I really need some suggestions on **temperature control control controls**. I'm considering different models to handle fans, extractors and heaters, but I want something that works well and, of course, that is reasonable in price. What experiences have you had? Share your pearls of wisdom! 💬 ### 🌼 **Looking to the future! ** 🔍 I am extremely curious to see how the growth of my plants will continue in the coming weeks. The buds are beginning to form, promising a harvest that promises to be spectacular. The energy is palpable and I can't wait to document every step of this trip. 🌿✨

This 1 is the closest to being ready smells unbelievably good and looks amazing

Wow she over doubled in height this week growing 20cm! But take a look at the video I took. She has 3x stalks!!!!!!!! One stalk has split, then split again! I have not topped/fimmed this at all. No training. Possibly the stress she suffered in her second week has triggered this? Not sure but she looks healthy enough so far! Also just entering flowering I think.

Another week down few more to go can't wait!! First ever attempt of growing my own so really impatient to see the final results now and get to the finish line, that said all has went well upto now other than the size they reached haha, really started putting on weight now it seems and they smell lovely, excited to see the buds fatten and progress over these last few weeks up until harvest now, started 5 liberty haze also they are just coming upto 3 weeks now so check that diary out to, any comments info tips for the final stages appreciated
