2nd time doing Brix levels...some ladies went from a Brix of 4 to a Brix of 10 while 2 only went from a Brix of 4 to 6. I am pleased with their progress upwards. Dam just learned you should take leaves for testing 2 hours after lights on....I took leaves from dark period 😣. Will update with new Brix numbers taken with lights on. Chopping is coming very soon. I will tag the Brix of each plant when I hang to dry so I'm able to keep track of how the higher Brix relates to taste, smell and potency😎 😁The ladies noticeably got fatter over night!(Nov 11th). Man they really enjoyed that last watering, hope this continues into next week. Just read to take your Brix leaves in a "Z" or "W" pattern as older leaves will contain higher carbs. The refracted light tells us the amount of carbs in the "juice or sap" and minerals too like calcium, proteins and fats (lipids). High Brix enables weed to produce secondary metabolites = greater medicinal value. Sucrose/sugar (Carbs) & mineral levels in the fruit or flower translates or relates to taste. A tasteless 3 Brix tomato from the grocery store or a 14 Brix tomato from OMG you grow delicious tomatoes. Death to covalent bonding! (My goal a 20 Brix😀 Won't be happening with this grow but will be the next😁). Read that most people can detect a half point difference in Brix in the flavour. Lots of smell coming from these Gorilla Girls😵 I can only go so far with plant chemistry and then I get a headache and get lost😔

Hi everyone, fantastic growers My experiment can be said to be successful! I germinated and collected two seeds in the same vase .... * Perhaps with a single seed I would have collected the same quantity, but it was worth trying and experimenting since I am contrary to trashing a seed already germinated! Everyone has the right to live his life ... especially if it's a question of increasing my stocks :)

They have jumped again in height quite a bit this week; they are big plants to say the least. Each plant is approximately 5 ft (60inches) tall (2 are a little taller than that) and they are all about 4 ft (48inches) wide. They drink like horses do! I didn’t expect these plants to fill out their 10 gallon pots so quickly, but they are pretty well root bound. All in all these ladies are doing pretty well; this week I gave them a 70/30 mix of Gaia greens all purpose and power bloom, amongst a few other Gaia green products to boost phosphate and potassium, and continue to supplement with advanced nutrients additives once a week. I defoliated this week; and actually got quite violent with them to try to allow some more light to penetrate the canopy; you wouldn’t even know it 😑 Slowly they are changing their growth patterns; we are also loosing daylight in my hemisphere at the rate of about 2.5 minutes a day, hopefully that helps continue to ease them comfortably into flower 🌺

No it’s not weight but it was a fun little side grow next to my bed that gave me no headache and top shelf bud 👍

This girl is a monster. All the other girls got chopped over the weekend but she wasn’t ready. Now she gets the tent to herself and she is loving it. I bent all her branches down as much as I could to spread her out even more. I’m thinking a week, maybe two left. The other girls are hang drying and once they are done I can trim, weigh, take pictures and then I’ll update my harvests!

DE: In der fünften Blütewoche zeigen beide Last Dance-Phänotypen ein beeindruckendes Tempo. Der erste Phänotyp präsentiert sich extrem dank, funky und gassig – die Buds sind nun dicht, schwer und beginnen sich sichtbar zu verhärten. Die Harzproduktion explodiert regelrecht, die Trichome sind überall sichtbar und verleihen den Colas ein fast silbernes Glitzern. Der Duft ist intensiv, tief und dominant – ein schwerer Mix aus Gas, Funk und erdiger Süße. Der zweite Phänotyp bleibt weiterhin etwas kompakter, doch seine Blüten sind perfekt ausbalanciert und extrem harzreich. Das Terpenprofil erinnert nun stark an einen fruchtigen Cocktail – süß, cremig und mit einer tropischen Note, die sich von Woche zu Woche weiter entfaltet. Insgesamt eine sehr starke fünfte Blütewoche: beide Pflanzen erreichen jetzt ihre volle Ausdruckskraft. Die Terpene sind außergewöhnlich komplex und einzigartig – jede Pflanze entwickelt ihr ganz eigenes Signature-Aroma. EN: In the fifth week of flowering, both Last Dance phenotypes are showing explosive progress. The first phenotype is extremely dank, funky, and gassy – buds are dense, heavy, and starting to harden noticeably. Resin production has gone into overdrive, with trichomes covering every surface and giving the colas a silvery shine. The aroma is deep, rich, and dominant – a heavy mix of gas, funk, and earthy sweetness. The second phenotype remains more compact but perfectly balanced, with buds that are equally resinous. Its terpene profile now leans clearly toward a fruity cocktail – sweet, creamy, and tropical, becoming more intense each day. Overall, week five marks a major milestone: both plants express their full character, with extremely complex and unique terpenes that make each phenotype stand out in its own way.

Week 2 the plants stretched so much that I ended up having to transplant them deeper into their pots

Potevo ottenere molto di più sicuramente, ma questa volta ho deciso di impegnarmi poco, e si vede dai scarsi risultati rispetto alle altre volte, l'unico parametro rispettato grazie al timer sono le 12/12 ore buio luce, questa volta ho basato tutto sul basso consumo energetico, sicuramente la prossima volta avrò un miglior equilibrio. Continua a l'esperienza

No problems this week, plants growing extremely well. I got a new TDS meter, but unfortunately, I was not able to set up a drip system yet. The only training I did was to defoliate the first true leaves and everything below that. DAY 17 - Nutes PH - 6.1 Solution Temp - 19.5 PPM-1340 Watering Volume per plant - 2L DAY 20 - Water PH - 6.04 Solution Temp - 19.2 PPM-570 Watering Volume per plant - 2.5L Plant B is about 14cm Height and Plant A is about 17 cm Height. One interesting thing that I'm seeing is the fact that Plant B continues to show signs of deformity. On the video, you can see that the right side is missing a node, this missing node corresponds to the deform leaf. Maybe they are related, Plant A was slightly bigger from the beginning, but the node development is bigger in Plant B.

This is the beginning of week 3 in bud. I’ve decided to not put the ATF plant in my bud room this round. I’m hoping she will just keep growing slow and my clones will eventually catch up with her so they can all go in together next round. The buds have definitely starting to swell up this past week. They all seem to have bounced back from their week 2 lollipopping. I’m very excited for this Melato in the back. She’s obviously outgrown the other 2 strains I have in the room currently. She’s also started throwing off the most smells as well. With some really strong indica OG gas smells. But other than that, everything normal this week. Just plain PHed water every other day. Thanks for checking out the garden. 🤙

Reaching peak flower now so added PK into the mix for extra Potassium and Phosphorous over the next 10 days or so. Never had plants soak up this much nutrients without any burn (touch wood) so I'm really impressed with the Vitalink range. Theis plant is at the front right of the tent, and to the left of the screen in the timelapse. Defoliated for the last time at the beginning of this week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ==> Comments From Other "Living Soil/Super Soil" Growers Are Always Welcome <== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION I am very excited about this grow as it is the first time with a new setup. I have added a new light and am going to try a super soil grow for the first time. I have a Mephisto Genetics Double Grape between paper towels and waiting to sprout. The space is about 18 inches by 24 inches. The ceiling slopes down, so I don't have much room at the rear of the space. For medium I am using Fox Farms Happy Frog augmented with perlite. The bottom third contains 0.5 pounds autoflower blend of a "super soil" additive from Nature's Living Soil. (https://amzn.to/2PUHc6k) I am using three-gallon cloth pots. The light is a Horticulture Lighting Group 135W QB V2 R-Spec LED kit. NUTRIENTS Tap water pH’d to 6.5. pH lowered using 1.5 TBS unsulfured blackstrap molasses and apple cider vinegar. One-half TBS of vinegar lowered pH about 0.5 points. The medium was very dry. Slowly watered to allow the moisture to be equal throughout the soil ISSUES My while I have yet to put the seed in the dirt, I am concerned about temperatures. They are currently running at about 86F. I would like to get it down to about 80F. DAILY LOG DAY -2: STARTED SEED * Started seed in my traditional manner. Between paper towels soaked in 5% bleach solution, 0.25 tsp/0.5 Cup water. Temp 82F. DAY -1: ACTION *The smallest of tip has appeared. Will put in soil in a few hours. Day 0: SEED PLANTED. * Refrigerator filtered water. pH 6.5. 1 cup (250ml) added very carefully. * Covered with humidity dome. * Light from Soil: 32.5” * Temperature: 82F DAY 1: SPROUT The sprouted seed has shown itself above the soil. A nice Christmas morning surprise. Now I can start counting the days. * Watered with about 200ml of water at pH 6.5. Used apple cider vinegar to lower the tap water pH. * I was pleased to find that my tap water does not contain chloramine. I was reading bad things about chloramine and "living soil." It can kill beneficial microorganisms. All I did was ask my water company and they replied saying "we found no mention of chloramine use in the system:" Just what I wanted to hear. * After looking at other diaries using 250W LEDs, I moved my light down to 25 inches. DAY 2: NO WATER FOR YOU * No watering today. There is plenty of water in the soil and I want the roots to stretch and work. * Working on increasing the humidity and getting more control over the temperature. DAY 3: WATER PLANT, NOT POT. ADDED MYCORRHIZAE. * Following the GrowWeedEasy watering suggestions for Kind Soil * 500ml water at 6.5 pH, around the plant and not across the full 3-gallon bag. * The fan gently moves the seedling to keep it strong. * Had minor unexpected run-off. I hope to avoid that in the future. * Added 1/8 tsp Great White Mycorrhizae dissolved in 100 ml of 50 ml water/50 ml molasses mix. Did not pH as it is such a small amount of solution compares to the watering earlier today. DAY 4: NO WATER, NO PICTURE * Nothing really new. So no reason for a picture. * The soil is dry on top, but the bottom of the pot is still damp. So I will watch it, but I don't expect to water today. * Adding a small intake fan has dropped the temps to about 82F, I think they can live with that. * A humidifier arrives tomorrow and I think that will be my last step to improve the environment. DAY 5: 500ml WATER, LOOKING GOOD * The plant is looking good. The second set of true leaves has a bend, but nothing to worry about. DAY 6: 500ml WATER. NEW HUMIDIFIER * It wasn't really necessary to water today, but I did simply to stay on the schedule I am using. * Given the lightness of the soil and the moving air, I don't anticipate any problems. * Added a humidifier yesterday evening. It's bringing the humidity up, but I need to keep the space closed and I'm a bit concerned about having to provide it with distilled water frequently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WEEK ONE IN REVIEW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Watered with 750 ml pH's tap water. Watered slowly to avoid any runoff. * The plant is looking very healthy. It looks as if the roots are really starting to work as the plant is darker green. * Balancing temperature and humidity is tricky, but I think I will be able to get it stabilized with a bit more work. * Target Relative Humidity: Seedlings - 65-70; Vegging - 40-70; Flowering - 40-50 ==> Beginning Next Week I Will Only Post Twice A Week, Mid-week And End Of The Week. <==

Como bien dicen los de Sensi seeds esta variedad de White Label tiene entre 7 - 10 semanas de floración, por lo que mire una a una con un microscopio y estában casi a punto para cortarlas, realice un lavado del sustrato y ya se estan secando, volvere a regar con agua solo (ec 0,06) y cuando sequen de nuevo serán cosechadas, una variedad más que recomendable se quedan todas las plantas a la misma altura, distancia internodal muy buena, mucha resina y se ve buena producción, abrá que esperar a ver cuando pierdan el agua para hablar de la producción con un criterio más serio, el olor es a plátano maduro bastante fuerte a partir de la 6ª semana, en pocos días cosecharé, buenos humos👌

Semana del 8 al 14 de marzo Seguimos utilizando los mismos productos. Fue un alivio verla recuperarse. Creo que algo debo estar haciendo mal en la semana 2-3 porque la vez pasada también tuvieron problema en ese mismo periodo. Probablemente en floración agregue la TGL 60 para dar más potencia y compre CO2 Estoy tentada a hacer scrog, pero me da miedo arruinar la cocecha.
