New week, same deal... She's growing and things are looking good. Roots are now starting to make it to the water so she's going to be upgrading to a little stronger brew on the next rez change.

8/4/17 Calling this Flower but still feeding late veg nutes until stretch is over. Feeding every other day is indeed a labor savor, just over 30 minutes to water and vacuum as long as everything is pre PHed and prepared. I bought a pressure sprayer to more evenly water, but it won't work as it took about 20 minutes to water 1 plant with 1.5 gallon.s Not efficient enough, sadly. Lights are moving up once or twice a day. The time lapse camera will have to be adjusted as the tent is becoming overgrown. We have pre flowers everywhere, and Kush is 1st to flower. A couple other flowers forming, but oddly not any on the auto speed buds. I bought a dehumidifier to deal with lights out and post watering humidity spikes, and it said it had a pump so I could pump the water into a bucket outside the tent, but it apparently is just gravity. Between all my gear and the newly expanding canopy, it is starting to get crowded in the tent. I may have to return it, but I really don't want to as the size has it fit right where I need it. I think I found out what was eating my plant leaves. It was me. I accidently hit a leaf on Reek'N today with the shop vac while I was cleaning the runoff and it tore the end off a leaf and looked identical to the damage seen last week. On 1 hand, this is good news as we are still pest free (knock on wood), but on the other hand, I was careless with my girls. Shame on me. I will be much more careful in the future. I( am noticing what might be nute burn on some leaf tips on a few plants. I have not increased the PPMs since going to an every other day feeding, and am getting consistently more runoff than I was getting, PPMs of runoff are mostly around under 200 more than I am putting in, so the frequency must be burning them. I may back off one day and see what that does and adjust the schedule as needed. I could use the break, too ;) As long as they are stretching, they get Veg nutes, then a feeding or 2 of transition, then start flower nutes. Getting nute burn prior to changing PPMs was probably a good thing to alert me to back off the frequency of the feeding a bit, since they liked this PPM before with no complaints when feedings were spaced further apart. 8/5/17 They did not feed today as I am still monitoring the minor nute burn. I am starting to think, since I did not raise my nutes, that this nute burn is the result of me slowly lowering humidity to reach flowering VPD, in which case, the lower RH is causing the plants to transpire more and take up more nutes, hence the very minor nute burn I am seeing. I didn't consider the humidity to be a variable until a few minutes ago, but that would likely explain the issue. If so, I am pleased I got so close to optimal nutes that a variation of 5-10% less RH would cause this and concerned with recalibrating feed to this. It's a learning experience, tho, fo sho. They are still happily growing tho, I have had to raise my lights twice in the last 24 hours and anticipate moving them up once more today, so I guess I am still mostly giving them what they want. The Kush is the tallest at just over 22 inches. The Mango Cream, the shortest at just over 14 inches. I may have to destroy time lapse continuity to better match heights with lights as in full flower, they move to around 12 inches (they have been at 18 inches through veg). I likely won't be too aggressive on light placement both for spread and to avoid light burn in flower. We shall see. 8/6/17 LMFAO I am starting to look for a home for 2 of the Auto Speed Buds. Nothing against them in particular, but I may need to make room and I have 3 of them and only 1 of every other strain. Things are going a bit bonkers in the tent and unless I want to see them fight to the death, I may have to make room. I will monitor things and decide. What I thought was burn might actually be a def. I have consulted on a forum and have been persuaded to up my ppm at the same ratios. It makes more sense than burn, tbh, so I am going to go for it, new measurements to come, first feeding with new ppm tomorrow. Going to go 50% stronger in late stage veg and see how they respond, and perhaps will pick up the every other day feeding again. 8/7/17 New feeding based on slight def, full strength GH base nutes, EC 1.6, PH with white vinegar to 5.7 FloraMicro 5 ML gal FloraGro 5 ML gal FloraBloom 2.5 ML gal CalMagic 2.5 ML Gal Armor SI 1 ML gal Roots Excelerator 0.5 ML Gal Drip Clean .5 ML Gal Photosynthesis Plus 3 ML gal SM-90 2.5 ML gal Ful-Potential 2.5 ML gal FloraBlend 2.5 ML gal Floralicious 1ML gal 1.79 EC after nutes and additives cross your fingers that it is not too hot Soon move to transition nutes, drop Roots Excelerator and add FloraNectar So the plants were drier than I anticipated and the PPMs coming out were LESS than going in! I think the bump in nutrients was a good idea. We will see how these five handle it. 8/8/17 Just fed the other 5 full nutes, no trace of burn on yesterday's group. Light still going up twice a day. I am finding it very difficult to water and handle the Auto Speed Bud #1 in the center. The canopy is QUITE thick. The Kush is now over 10 cm taller than the breeder estimated for an indoor at over 70 cm. I am going to continue to feed every other day until they force me to feed every day. I am also going to continue with Veg nutes next feeding. 8/9/17 still growing, keeping the new full dose feeding. Will likely start upping the GH additives too. Kush is now over 80 cm. 8/10/17 As we wrap up week 6, Kush is getting close to 90cm, 50% taller than expected. 2 of the SPeed Buds are still in preflower, oddly. Everyone is healthy and getting huge. Having issues watering the plants in the middle because of the thickness of the canopy. Last night my Raspberry Pi got into a boot loop. Since I run the time lapse with that, I have to do an emergency new setup to get the time lapse rolling again. I am putting together a tutorial to make one yourself and will have info when it is completed. There will be some disruption to the time lapse from thi missing time period, but honestly, I have been having to move the camera up so often because of the growth it will likely not matter much. The plants are so big, I may push the next feeding past GH recommendations. Most people advise not to go anywhere near that, but the plants are so big and thriving so well and already got a bit of a def, I want to see if I can push them a little more by late flower. I have given full strength nutes and GH additives today to 5 of them, so will monitor and likely increase base trio ppms if all goes well.

Flushed Critical Lemon with Flawless Finish and ph'ed water for about a week. Cut everything off the large stems and air dried/cured. Amnesia is looking ultra thicc and I started to flush those plants out. Skunk 47 looks like it needs at least another week before its flushed.

Start of week 5 today, everything seems to be going great! The Gelato OG is by far the biggest plant of the bunch so far but they all seem to be taking well to LST, HST , Topping & defoliation! Will be going in the flower tent as soon as the other ladies harvest so they will probably have atleast 2 to 3 more weeks of veg!

Buds are already getting nice and dense. Thick coat of trichomes is already glistening. Flower production has been very on point! Very hardy colas flying off these girls. Very excited for this one. I reduced the nitrogen dose again. I also stopped giving them vigorous. Its a pure bloom mix now as these ladies are booming with flowers. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

This week was definitely the most stressful one so far.πŸ˜… Candy Hustle #1 showed a few hermaphrodite flowers early in the week. Instead of removing the entire plant immediately, I decided to inspect her thoroughly every single day and carefully remove every pollen sac I could find. It was a lot of work throughout the week, but fortunately the effort seems to have paid off. πŸ’ͺ Since then I haven't found any new sacs, although she will remain under close observation. If she starts producing them again, I'm fully prepared to remove the plant. πŸ‘€ The funny thing is that this same plant has become the most interesting phenotype in the tent. 🌱 The main cola is developing much wider than her sister and is showing some unusual growth that almost resembles a polyploid or fasciated expression. It's too early to know if that's really the case, but she definitely stands out from the rest. 🀞 Candy Hustle #2 continues to perform exactly as expected. Healthy growth, great structure and absolutely no signs of stress. πŸ’š Because the heatwave is still affecting the climate, temperatures stayed around 28Β°C with 55% RH, which is much easier to manage than the previous week. Light intensity has now been increased to roughly 1000 PPFD (60% power) and both plants are responding very well. β˜€οΈ Both Candy Hustles were lollipopped this week to improve airflow through the canopy. πŸƒ I also removed a few additional lower branches on #1 while inspecting for pollen sacs. Air circulation is much better now, which gives me a bit more confidence considering the higher temperatures. Feeding was kept simple this week: πŸ’§ 1Γ— Bio PK 🚰 RO water + CalMag every 2–3 days Another thing I noticed is how quickly the resin production has increased. ✨ Even at only week three the sugar leaves are already becoming noticeably frosty, especially on Candy Hustle #1. I'm really curious to see how both phenotypes compare later in flower. ❄️ Overall, despite the herm issue, I'm happy with how the week ended. πŸ™ Hopefully #1 has left the hermaphrodite flowers behind and can now focus entirely on stacking buds. 🌸 🌑️ Environment 🌑️ Temperature: 28Β°C πŸ’§ Humidity: 55% RH πŸ’‘ Light: ~1000 PPFD (60%) πŸ₯€ Feeding: 1Γ— Bio PK, otherwise RO water + CalMag every 2–3 days βœ‚οΈ Lollipopping completed for both plants to improve airflow πŸ‘€ Candy Hustle #1 remains under daily observation

Well, probably this is her last week. There might be a chance of me holding for another week for more than one reason, but mostly because I think she is a little late. A noticed that the first week of flowering took longer to show flowering signs, something I usually see quickly. And the stretch took a little more time than it usually does. So, by Thursday I'll be sure. Still, as you can see, the yield will not be that good, we can't win them all, can we? Nevertheless, it is a healthy plant, with awesome genetic material and I'm already anxious to grow the last seed I have, which will begin July 2025. Also, I uploaded a pictures showing a light green structure. It seems to me like male flowers already opened, but no really. I dont know. The other LSSH had the same thing, developing close to the end, but there where no seeds at all.

Weekly Update: The Gassy One is blowing up! πŸ“Š We are wrapping up an insane week, and this plant is absolute madness! πŸš€πŸ”₯ Current Setup & Metrics (This Week): pH: 5.6 πŸ’§ EC: 2.2 (Shifting down to 1.9 EC starting today as we head past the end of week 5!) πŸ“‰ What's happening this week? The plant looks massive, the buds are swelling up like crazy, and the terps are next-level! She stinks to high heaven with a sharp, pungent diesel and haze aromaβ€”hands down the best smell I've ever had on a plant, completely indescribable. β›½οΈπŸŒΏ After a close inspection today, I’d give her roughly 3 weeks left (maximum) before harvest. I am beyond hyped to see how this turns out! β„οΈβœ‚οΈ

Day 64 (Week 10 day 1) watered the girl with batboost, biogrow, biobloom, topmax, molasses, bactrex 1g/l at ph 6 ppm was somewhere 900. Day 67 (Week 10 day 4) Took some photos. The girl is doing okay shes slow but healthy, thinking of not using bio grow just add more of the bloom fertilizer. Day 68 (Week 10 day 5) topdressed the girl with GHE Silicate and watered with water.

The plant was easy to grow overall .. it grew fast and a little on the tall side which had me nervous but I was able to raise the lights up just enough to finish, so it all worked out in the end. buds came out hard and frosty no complaints . This was a freebie seed too! didn’t expect it to come out as fire as it did man was i wrong. Straight fire πŸ”₯ Ran into root rot in the beginning of veg but the great white and hydroguard saved my ass.πŸ™

February 20, 2019 update: Pretty much just waiting to be ready for harvest. Everything is moving along nicely at this point. Planning on feeding until the end of February, then starting a 2 week flush with most of the plants going in the flower room now, but I may let the Cookies & Cream go a little longer. Fed MegaCrop, Cal+Mag Pro and Mammoth P this week. I've used up the last of my Mammoth P at this point. It will be MegaCrop & Cal+Mag Pro only until flush. All pics were taken with the lights on. I tried color correcting the best I could, but the pics really don't represent the actual colors very well. Usually I try to get some pics with the lights off also, but I was not able to do that last week. I'll make sure to get some better pics next time. πŸ‘

Perfect strain to grow, easy, fast and sweet as sugar totally covered in trichomes. The plants showed a very equaled and stable genetics and are very generous with a little care, this strain is almost like walking directly into a dutch candy shop with all kind of winegum smells, simply perfect.
