It was a week with a lot of activity. First of all, she had her first full week of flowering and did a bit of a stretch. Also I switched her to the left side of the tent, to space the plants more evenly. We are getting to a canopy, although one of her roommates probably is male and will be removed. More about this when I update my Xtrakushh Diary. Also had time to fit the scrognet. It fits way better than last grow, much tighter. We had some problems with the lighting. I probably hit my timer with one of my sausage fingers, making my lights turn on in the middle of the night, thank god I found it out in time. They maybe had an hour or two of light for one night. Still something she really doesn't need with this strains tendency to hermie under stress. She still looks happy. Did some gentle leaf tucking, some LST under the net, and a little defoliation. The branches might be short but they are very sturdy and should be able to carry large and heavy buds. And we had won the @Sweet_Seeds Halloween give-away and got to choose three of their legendary strains: Tropicanna Poison, Red Hot Cookies and Runtz XXL auto!! Thanks guys!!! We shall see where it leads... Thank you for checking in again and don't forget the Black Friday Superdeals on https://www.mars-hydro.com!! See you at other diaries or next week! Hug Bud and Sunshine

Leaves started to be more and more yellow. In fact, I don't know why. The nutrients I keep based on the Plagron table. I have few theories. Lack of Nitrogen, Lack of Calcium, End of the life cycle. Who knows. I will add a bit more nutrients.

I had to remove some yellowing leaves... I am not sure if the plant is just too tightly packed around the edges or if I am not feeding her enough nutrients. I have started giving her BioBizz Grow (1st last night) since I've read it is mostly just molasses and should be supplied not only during "growth" - e.g. the vegetative phase. On the buds - the leave edges have started to turn a nice shade of purple. I usually only water exactly the required amount - so 1l for my 15l pot. At the beginning of this week I decided to do a small flush - as per grow question recommendation. I only used 25l to my not completely full 15l pot (I am guessing 10-12l earth) with rain-water and checked the runoff: PH=6. PPM dropped from 1800 to <400ppm at the end. She has started to smell very tropical the last few days... With humidity levels hitting 80% outside - my little 25W dehumidifier can't keep up... I keep my fans on and hope for the best. Soil is still wet from the flush - might try the Seedhunter's recommendation and not water for 5 days. Looking back - I really should have noticed the whitening tips 2 weeks ago... last week I should have made the connection of "burnt leaf tips = overfeeding" - but nooo. =) I have been making the same mistake as with my last grow - I watered exactly what she was drinking... 1l/24h. So salt could build up and the magic marker is 10 weeks. This is when "watering wrong" shows... Day 87 (Friday): still no signs of drought stress so I will water with low nutrients maybe tomorrow... I got this tipp from Greenhouse Seed Co. / Seedhunters plus check this out if you are coming from academia: https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/article/3-tips-for-controlled-drought-stress-cannabis/ The tropical smell is noticeably less now... Day 88: watered for the first time after 5 days with ~3l of rain water - and some nutrients. There is a lot more purple on the upper leaves now.

Saturday, Feb.20th After final training, and recovering, Girls went into a larger Growspace called "big Floweringtent" its a 4x4 Growtent, and soon some Companions will be added. Girls are sitting into final Pots ( 11l), filled with My Soilmix amended with "Living Organics" and EASY BOOST ORGANIC NUTRITION waterings with Benefical stuff from Green Buzz Liquids So we had a busy Day Yesterday in setting up the Tent that means lots of cleaning transplanting and so on Thank you A.R. for Setting up the Tent 😘

The plant is doin very well, the colas are all getting bigger and the resin production is huge. I'm near the harvest so within few days I'll give her the last nutrients ans the next week I'm gonna flush her. I'm very happy about this plant, she takes nutes very well and give zero problem.

49 Days! Lost a day of timelapse footage, found a temporary fix tho, should not happen again. The plant stretched a little and is full on on flower. This will most likely end up as a single big bloop of bud again, sadly did not stretch as much as I liked it to be. Overall a good week. Spoiler: added lights to the bottom to get more light inside the plant at the first day of week 8, more on that next week. Values are average of the day.

This weeks going great, bud development is really picking up and so is the aroma that quickly hits you the second you open the tent, I'd say this strain smells very different to most other strains ive grown, this pheno has a super sweet smell with a slight diesel undertone that almost stings your eyes. No issues other than I have had to move the light up a few inches due to bleaching.

Dry weight 16oz (pound) between 4 plants. Some Cali quality herb. Haven't fully cured yet but getting better day by day. Clean smoke experience with note of lemon lime. Despite the picture the inside of this baby is purple. I may post more pics as I quickly put them in cure in heat sealed grove bags. Overall 5/5 experience with khalifa genetics I will definitely grow their products again in the future

This is exactly the 🇲🇦 morroccan 🇲🇦 way of sifting resin from kief. Traditionally, apart the hand rubbing method, dry sifting through a mesh is the most used way to obtain resin, from 🇦🇫 Afghanistan 🇦🇫 or 🇳🇵Nepalese 🇳🇵 Mountains to 🇲🇦 Morocc 🇲🇦 Rif passing through Bekaa valley in 🇱🇧Lebanon 🇱🇧. The average size of meshes used vary from 90 to 180 microns and are mostly made by silk and for this reason uneven. I think the most productive ways to sift are Dry Ice and  rotating pollinator + CO2, I've tried a DIY pollinator built by a friend and it can reach up to 20/25% of resin extracted at 120 microns and 15% at 90 microns. But smell and taste don't reach that traditionally extracted but this is another story. Morroccan way is good compromise between a stashbox or more evolute methods. It requires less than 10 dollar of expenses. You need: a basin or pot  without handles a heavy-duty plastic bag that contains the basin a pair of chopsticks a good 120 microns net an elastic band tape Kif or trim q.s. Here is the link where I buy my meshes. Very high quality, customable size and material (steel or nylon) and length and very kind vendor on AliExpress https://a.aliexpress.com/_uwfQzq Drum for 3 minutes. .....perhaps you will find that you have an innate talent as a drummer, throw the shit away and put your head right......

30.12.24: So I finally became brave enough last night to use LST on my grow for the first time. Watermelon 🍉 is doing much better than the other plants were at this stage, and still better than one that's 7 weeks old already! I'm very pleased with this strain and phenotype so far. As I've implemented the LST much earlier for her, I'm very excited to see what happens in the next couple of weeks 😃 Thanks for checking out my diary 🙂🍃✌️

Week 7 is going smoothly so far. The flooding issue has subsided and the clones seem to be really taking off now. I'm excited to get back from vacation and really see my girls and my reservoir conditions after a 2 week hiatus.
