Is it ok to chop small bud near bottom for smoke ? I’m just can’t wait for this

Space is limited and I'm struggling with the time to keep up with these plants since things are back to normal on my parts of town. Just gonna keep about eye on em at keep defoliating

Week 4 (12/12 from seed, veg phase) Quick clarification before we continue: Last week, while putting the reports together, I mixed in a few photos that actually belong to this week. That one’s on me — I went with the flow and didn’t double-check the dates as carefully as I should have. To keep everything clean and accurate, this update resets the timeline properly. From here on, photos and notes will match the correct week so everyone can follow the run clearly and confidently. Thanks for the understanding — now let’s get back to the girls 🌱 Quick recap for newcomers (Week 4 – 12/12 from seed) Where we are • Week 4 of vegetative development • Light schedule: 12/12 from seed • Plants are still fully in veg behavior (no true flower yet) What defines this stage • Structural building phase • Root mass expanding rapidly • Branching patterns being set • Energy focused on framework, not buds What we’re seeing • Excellent vigor • Balanced nutrient uptake • No visible deficiencies or toxicity • Genetics expressing clean morphology ⸻ What to expect this week • Continued vertical and lateral growth • Slightly faster node stacking • Plants preparing hormonally for pre-flower • Leaves staying broad and healthy • Training responses (if any) remaining gentle and controlled What not to expect • No real flower formation yet • No heavy stretch just yet • No need for aggressive defoliation • No panic adjustments — stability is key here Community Note Due to YouTube community guidelines, our educational channel was taken down.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

como preventivo aplique tierra de diatomea via foliar. solo realice un apical por variedad de semilla ya que las otras aun según mi criterio les faltaba. se espera realizar la otra semana apical en las otras dos para dejar 2 sin manejo para comparar.

Another week done, finished up week 6 of flowering, week 10 of the whole grow. The buds are continuing to fatten up, inching closer and closer to harvest. Noticed the first few Amber tricombs on some of the upper buds, going to be leaning off the big bud and switching to overdrive to help aid in ripening and the final bulk. I’d like the run them another 4 weeks giving them a full 9-10 weeks in flower. But will judge harvest on a near 45/55 or 50/50, Cloudy/amber tricomb production.

8/5-After letting the bottom branches grow for another 4 days they were showing plenty of amber and had firmed up enough to harvest. Did a rough trim and hung the branches in Cannatrol Cool Cure to dry. 8/11-Overall the buds were a lot smaller than previous Mephisto grows. I'm going to let them cure for 2-3 weeks and then do a real taste test.

After 6 days of drying weight is 191 gr. I'm very happy of my setup this is the first plant i grown here.

Spider Mite infestation. I put the story in the pictures. Long story short, the infestation focused on the lower (ticker) branches of AK2 and this explains the undergrowth compared to her sisters. The trichomes are half-cloudy / milky and she will be ready for harvest within a maximum of 2 weeks. I defoliated her by removing nearly all leaves and put her aside in the grow room. Open to any other suggestions. I also confess that I neglected the plants and did not check the source of the white point. I also used some of the soils I used in other outdoor plants which I believe the source of the infestation. Seed Formations AK2, again produces seeds in lower branches. I did not pollinate this one and there is no other source that she is pollinated. I didn't see any Bananas, too. I am thinking it might be because of the stress from the Spider Mites. Open to any suggestions on that too. Other Two Girls I spotted some mites on them too, but it was not alarming. I defoliated the infested few leaves and they will be okay. Jack Herer needs two and White47 might need another 3 weeks and that is it. I think they all will be okay until then. I will keep a close eye on them. Sorry for not good news this week.

we pass 5. week, in this week i been spred my girls and make some defoliation. she grow nicely week by week. in next week i will flip them on flower mode. tent is ollmost full

Last watering before 8 Vaca. End of April should be peak harvest time

Steady as she goes 🎶 Week 5

A little Larfy for my taste but...

One girl has stretched, the other very much a squatting bush. Both appear healthy, with good stems and leaf growth. Just going to let them do their thing and admire them on occasion!

Week 3 flowering for the Oreoz from super sativa seeds club All seems to go well, some defoliation to keep these bud sites in the light and for the rest we continue with just water using biotabs, we do adjust the water to around 6.5 PH Basically the rest of maintenance is done, we will just let her go until end of life, im soon adding the first PK booster tea

It's time to go to the pots😎 The feeding is ready. Lego sensor hub is ready. Lego supportive construction is ready to help the one that grows rapidly and has no strength enough to withstand those artificial wind :P Buds generating process initiated 😻

Gave them first feed other day growing well now I kinda sorted out the high temps

Ya tenemos esta quinta semana de floración de esta niña bonita (PurpleKush) de Kannabiaseeds. Como podeis ver en las fotos y en el video está muy bonita 😍, Seguimos echandole fertilizantes caseros 💪
