😍 Ricky G-41

This beauty is starting to finish up. Yellowing up and fattening up nicely. I’m still having powdery mildew pop up but nothing too crazy. It’s not getting in the buds. She has been turning a touch purple with all the cold nights in my neck of the woods. I will likely take this girls down in a week as the forecast is nothing but rain so mildew could become an issue with too much humidity and the cold nights. I want to try these genetics indoor as PM won’t be an issue I’m my tent. 😎🍿

Switched to flower nutes too early. Back to full strength terp tea grow 711. Atleast for the next 2 weeks, maybe less. 5/1/24 Plant is stretching now. FYI just to clarify, I switched lights to 12/12 on 4/20 but I am considering her being in veg still until I see more pistils. Probably the end of this week. After a 2 week transition period 5/3 2 days later and I need to get my damn camera in the tent! This stretch is starting to look like nursery explained. She’s supposed to triple in size. I thought I tied her down too much and she would stay short. I swear she’s grown an inch over night. Starting to dominate the tent. Literally 2 days ago, I said that I didn’t consider this week to be flower and still the transition phase. Now she looks like she’s fully in the flowering phase. She’s beautiful and I’ve been impressed since veg. Since I chose her as a clone I liked the way she was. Hoping she follows through🌱💚

Increased Buddy to 1mm p/l. Will be adding PK14 in the next 2 weeks as they're peak flower and will need the Potassium etc. These plants are at the front and to the right in the timelapses.

Edit: I came home from work after making my weekly log entry yesterday and I could smell my grow from my driveway... so I asked for help. THANK YOU OOZLEFINCH FOR THE HELP.. THIS IS WHY WE ASK FOR HELP... I left a question on here stating that my new canister wasn't working and asked for generic advise. He left an answer that pointed out the fact that my exhaust fan might be set waaaay to high... and it was! It turns out there's a limit to the amount of air that filter fan 'scrub', and my exhaust fan goes way over that limit even on 6 or 7.. I turned it down to 3 and the smell got better immediately. ☮️ Still on auto pilot at this point... I'm really close to harvest.. and I'm not even on day 60 😲. I created videos this weeks, they capture the plants in ways that a still picture just won't. My entire house stinks.. my neighbors are looking at my funny, and my wife thinks a family of skunks is hiding in our walls... I've never had this problem.. I even got a brand new carbon air scrubber and its not helping 🤣 Process/ Environment changes since last week: - To help preserve the terpenes I've been trying to lower my temperature, which is hard without an AC unit I'm not plugging in an ac just to grow some plants. I'm at 24- 26 degrees C (75 - 82 F). - I've been lowering my humidity accordingly to keep VPD in a good range - I lowered my lights closer to my plants, turning them up would just add to the heat. - I'm defoliating as much large fan leaves off as possible - My watering pH is at around 6.7 to 6.8.. I will not be flushing these plants - I rotate my plants every day to make sure I'm getting light to hit every node it can This week I'm pulling out the digital scope and doing the first trichome checks for these babies. The cheese auto is going to get the chop by the end of next week.. I hope you like the video I added of it.. it's the easiest plant I've ever grown and she's going to be FIRE. The blackberry auto is giving off a gas/berry smell and is very sticky to the touch. A beautiful triploid... my first and I hope to get many more. The Forbidden Runtz smells just like a zkittles does, it's bang on. Very dense very sticky buds. I almost tossed her during the seedling stage too due to her mutation. I'm glad I reconsidered ☮️ Thank you Fastbuds

Day 13 girls are going well thinking about introducing the bloom light in about 9-12 days loving my first grow!

День 84 (конец 12 недели сегодня) - Все прекрасно растет. Мать поливаю 3-4 литрами через день. Первые клоны через день по литру воды и вторые клоны раз в 3 дня тоже по 1 литру. Материнское растение конечно сильно уперлось в лампу, даже листики ей пожгло, но сегодня пришлось разобрать сверху гроубокс и сделать подвесную лампу над боксом. По сути добавил ей для роста 50-55 сантиметров еще. У первых клонов приподнял лампу на 50 см над растениями, так как заметил, что они от переизбытка света стали немного листы опускать. Сегодня было около 15см между верхушками и лампами. Высота матери - 135 см. Первые клоны - 57-60 см. Вторые клоны - 44-46 см. И наконец-то заканчивается вега и перевожу на цветение сегодня!!! У них будет длинная ночь. Поставил пока им световой режим 11/13. Хочу чтобы побыстрее зацвели. На следующей неделе, думаю начну с того, что распишу список состава своего supersoil. Заметил что стал забывать компоненты.

Plant suffered of poor quality water, problems of transpiration and nutrients absorption due to pH unbalanced values, low humidity level, both light and ventilation intensity excess. Humidity is under control: stabilised between 45% and 50% continuously. pH has been fixed to 6.0 in all H2O solutions. Exhaust fan has been equipped of a rotative knob control in order to settle power: once desired humidity level is overpassed ventilation can be returned to max speed in order to maintain 24,5 Celsius degrees. LED light cycle 24/0 TOTAL AGRO at maximum intensity has been abandoned for energy and its cost savings purpose in relation with the final scope and entropy reduction effectiveness : Main+ 100 Blue+ 100 Red+ 100 LED Light Spectrum has been settled in order to give a natural Sun Dawn/Sunset effect maintaining the 24/0 cycle: 09:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 85 Red+ 50 10:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 90 Red+ 50 11:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 95 Red+ 50 12:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 13:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 14:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 15:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 16:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 17:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 18:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 19:00 Main+ 45 Blue+ 95 Red+ 45 20:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 90 Red+ 40 21:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 85 Red+ 35 22:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 80 Red+ 30 23:00 Main+ 25 Blue+ 75 Red+ 25 00:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 70 Red+ 40 01:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 65 Red+ 35 02:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 60 Red+ 30 03:00 Main+ 25 Blue+ 55 Red+ 25 04:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 60 Red+ 30 05:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 65 Red+ 35 06:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 70 Red+ 40 07:00 Main+ 45 Blue+ 75 Red+ 45 08:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 80 Red+ 50 Note: ORTOLED SERIE K is intrinsically provided of Sunrise/Sunset function which enables a smooth, uniform and gradual variation of light intensity during time without generating any kind of shock from sudden switching on or off, or changes in power and spectrum value. Blue light parameter overwhelms in this stage in order to encourage vegetative growth, compactness, and bushiness and photomorphogenesis, its development, including leaf expansion, stem elongation, and overall plant architecture. Decreased light intensity during night cycle should help regulate phototropism and reduce light stress. The plant well reacted to the care it received and the measures put in place, which given the visible critical health condition, were drastic and extreme. Possible combination of over feeding, overwatering and excess of light, responding to stress to be identified, on the basis of following visible symptoms : - leaves have turned thick, fat, dark deep green; - leaves start curling; - leaves hint a deep yellow hue; - new leaves are born with light green and yellow tips; - leaves report burnings such as fresh black spots which turn into dry brown spots; - 1 leaf at the third node is born with 4 tips, the second one is a 5 tips leaf correctly. Additional considerations to be uploaded asap regarding : - Biochar pH 8,5; - Biochar nutrients absorption and retention capacity in relation with organic growing; - Biochar and Coco Coir micro and macro nutrients binding capacity; - moon effect during plant life cycle; - huge vitality has been noticed during crescent moon appearance; - plant is asking for more and more feeding; - growing will be abandoned for no more than 96 hours therefore a self irrigating cotton rope wick system has been implemented. Added nutrients : Biobizz_ Alg-A-Mic - FishMix Bionova_ Ph+/Ph-

Drying in cardboard box hopefully it dries well and I'll be curing in mason jars

We noticed some bleaching this week on a few of the higher tops and decided to move the MarsHydro again, from 18"to 20" this time..We underestimated how powerful this light actually is.. We no longer have access to a functioning PAR meter so we're relying exclusively on plant response, Google and some guess work to dial ...High light intensity definitely explains why we've been feeding these autos so much lol.. I'm glad we caught this when we did. We gave all plants another moderate feeding after moving the light (still waiting on a calmag re-up) , but I think they'll be just fine 😺👌.. we're hoping that 20" in flower might be the sweet spot..We truly have an autoflower curse, its real, anything that can go wrong typically does lol but it should be smooth sailing from here on out..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone! ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

welcome to one of the last episodes of the BIG Cheese twins chronicles! ...I cannot believe it either, but when i checked her trichomes this morning, with my microscope.. she is as good as done!!(the FAT, smaller one at least) So beautiful trichomes she has too.. a lot of them looked like lil' chuncks of cheese! (deep yellow, with spots on them 😁) But a lot of old cheese too (orange, brown) so think gonna chop her end of this week!(be4 it starts raining again..😎) Its finally sunny weather so gonna let her enjoy the sunshine some more 😎 dont think her sister is ready yet (the tall skinny one) but she will get there soon enough! She is covered with trichomes.. my camera had a hard time focussing in the buds so sprakly!!😻 So the next episode of the cheese twins chronicles will be a harvest!! Get your popcorn ready😁👊 happy growing for all✊

First grow ever, may the auto gods bless this grow 🙏

Las plants estan gorda con un olor de naranja muy fuerte

Skipped a week in my journal due to travels. Had my neighbor water my plants. Having some minor early deficiencies with my photoperiod plants (particularly the chem brulee)... so I decided to go ahead and give everything a solid feeding of Foop Bloom 1, 2 and Sweetener. This is their first ever bottled feeding. Have been running on supersoil and a prayer. Also top dressed everything and mulched with rice straw to help with the soil drying out a bit too quickly. Leaves have been yellowing on all three. Mostly relegated to the interior of the plants. Chem Brulee is looking a bit too yellow overall, as well. French Macaron is a 66in. Chem Brulee is 56in. Pineapple Meatball is 45in. I have a sneaking suspicion that my neighbor didn't water them quite enough while I was gone. Will probably continue with the Foop feedings... probably at least once per week. Don't want to overdo it. Also top dressed with my flowering top dress mix and mulched all plants with a thin layer of rice straw. 8/4 Sprayed with Neem Oil and Castile Soap 8/5 Sprayed with Gravenstein Apple FFJ and OHN 8/6 Sprayed with Neem Oil and Castile Soap (this will likely be the last time I spray with Neem Oil, as I don't want residual oils as buds start swelling. Also fed 1/4 strength FOOP to ensure we head off any deficiencies.

Hope these flowers start to take off ; think I under did it on calmag and slowed things down but issue has been corrected. Hopefully things start to bounce back and builds up some monster 💐

What a crazy week, growmies. It’s amazing to see how fast the early flower phase kicked in right after the first pistils showed up. The girls were obviously more than ready after a 10-week veg, but honestly I can only speak in superlatives about them. The stretch is absolutely insane(15cm this week), and it really takes all our skills to keep the canopy even especially since we’re running two different strains in the tent. We’ve been doing aggressive bend-overs / tie-downs every other day just to keep the canopy under control. To keep up with their appetite, bumped the watering up to 4 liters and they happily took it both times. Will stick with a simple routine: one plain watering, one feeding. We’re already seeing some frost coming in, which is great this early in flower. 😄❄️🌱 Light intensity:85% on 40cm. Vpd: 1,1-1,35kpa

First day of week 4, the plants are grown big enough to top but they didn't develope enough side branches to start mainlining. I hope I can use this technique as soon as the plants recover from the topping. On day 4 just the first of the three shows sign of complete recover while the side branches still don't want to grow up. I fed the plants with a tea full of microbes and good organic stuff. End of week 4, the only thing needed for the lower branches to catch up was increase the height of the lamp. Now they are really happy looking forward to the second and last month of veg

She had her issues and is not a big yielder. But she makes up for it in beauty and aroma!
