Grow diary 11 stage 8. Day 71 to 80 This girl has developed quicker then the other strains and because of the o.g taking up so much space I decided to put up my older ds60 tent with my old mars hydro purple light. After 3 days my old extractor fan broke and she stunk the house out. I pulled her out the other tent on day 75 and gave her ripen for 5 days before moving onto flawless finish. When I'm happy she flushed its harvest. Not expecting much, maybe 1/2 oz, its hard to guess, she is tiny but solid.

Having a battle with my soil ph which is at 7.3 (down from7.8) I have been watering with water in the 4.5- 5 ph range since the soil ph is so high. I am also having nitrogen issues . I stopped feeding a last week. I added a bit of top soil to the plant which might have added more nutrients making it worse. I am going to do s flush and see If things improve.

Mix packs and Gorilla Z were fed Dr. Earth w/worm castings and top dressed with compost. All plants received full strength Silica Boost foliar spray. Mix pack#2 showed 2 unopen pollen sacks (?) which were removed.

Did LST and topped Pheno 1 & 2, 3 is too funky to mess with. I think PH was just my issue and possible too high intensity light as I lowered to 60%, but also brought my PH to 6.5 so I'm guessing that helped too.

Some good defoliation down low. And, a whole lot of scrogging this week. Not much to report. Time to sit and wait for the magic to happen now.

Jour42 defolliation and LST Jour45 defolliation Jour47 arrosage avec de l'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 1ml par litre d'eau de topmax biobizz La plante entre maintenant en floraison c'est donc le début du stretch Explication en anglais (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common. May the force be with you 💪

Buds are developing. A bit slower than I anticipated but they are developing. I guess it won't yield very much but that's because of the really bad outdoor conditions she started with. Still very excited to see her progression, I hope she keeps that dark green color. As you can see, the drip irrigation system arrived, which is good. Unfortunately that means that there will be no more Pet's&Pot pictures until harvest :( wish me luck!

Day 29 Over the past week, the plant has continued to change noticeably. The new growth at the top has stretched a bit, giving the plant a slightly taller and more open appearance compared to Day 29. The upper leaves are still bright green, and the fresh growth looks delicate and slightly lighter in color. The structure is becoming bushier, with many small shoots forming around the center. Some of the lower leaves show more pronounced discoloration than before, with patches of yellowing and slight browning around the edges. This contrast between older and newer foliage makes the plant look like it's shifting energy upward as it continues its development.

Day 63 - Flowers just starting. They're looking nice. Through the week I've chopped quite a few leaves off her to allow light penetration.

Well from day one it was evident that the sativa lineage was going to be a big factor in this ladies growth . She was a fast germinating lady and that gave me a plant which was really ensuing to blow up with growth both vertical and horizontal. The plant was put into a raised bed in the end and that have her roots the room needed to give my plant the boost it needs . The soil was garden soil with promix bx and added Mycorrhizae as well .The strain it's self was amazing with dense fat buds covered in trichomes that are all milky with small amber at week 7 flower .. The plants stretch period was about two weeks and if not for the taller plants shading her out this one would have been a monster .. I'm going to be putting another one outdoors next year of This strain it's just to terpy and pretty to not have again . Once it's all dried and cured I'll post some pictures and get a smoke report going so that the true magic of this strain can be explored .. Besides all of this I would suggest anyone to try the this seed brand they have awesome Genetics and are very good with customer support and shipping is always discreet and they take care of your needs .. check them out and see for yourself how good there strains are!!! Updated part ... Wow the smoke was so good these buds re drying up to dense buds that are covered in white fluffy trichomes that cover the whole bud and sugar leaves .. it's truly a tasty strain with the biggest head high but also not a crazy couch locker it's a solid mix for late afternoon night time . I smoked a bit of a tester branch and was so medicated I loved it .. will be going In to my garden next year as she is in my top 5 of strains I have grown now .. it's a very special lady with super strong smoke and very nice bag appeal . Don't sleep on this strain she is an original and won't be forgotten in my garden . Just wow makes me want to grow as many of their strains as I can . Next year is looking good all ready

Seofuku und Cookies and Cream wurden getoppt. Sie sind beide etwas größer als die Chemo Cake und so geben wir dieser etwas Zeit zum aufholen. Das starke Licht scheint etwas zu viel für sie zu sein. Für alle drei gab es die zweite Dosis Pflanzengeflüster. 1,5 g in 100 ml auf drei Pflanzen verteilt.
