I am late this week because on the girls' 8 week birthday, they both started looking HORRIBLE, and I was scrambling for a couple days. Looking back, documenting those moments is probably more helpful than just showing pictures of everything going smoothly. I think it might have been a Zinc deficiency, but it all boiled down to poor nutrient, pH, and watering practices. This is my first grow, so the more I learn the better! New leaves were forming brown tips, growth was stunted overall, and the veins on the leaves were becoming very prominent and white. After a day or so, the tips and edges of leaves started to curl up or "taco". So I flushed the plants for the first time. One recovered really well in 24 hours while the other improved a bit, but was still looking sad. I ended up flushing her a second time the next day. Soil for both plants is still pretty damp but should be flushed well, and once it completely dries out, I can amend my feeding practices and give them another ~week before flowering. I'm going to cut the nutrient amounts in 1/2, only feed nutrients with every other watering, and also give the plants more water to allow the proper amount of run-off. I guess this is very important in preventing a build up of nutrients in the soil. Hey, you live and you learn! Also started trying some super cropping because I want to try it all, haha.

The stretch is real, they are being fed every other day, 1gal/plant basically. Nice uniform stretch along both rows.

Will get to this later and update with a dry weight hopefully if it allows me. 260g with stem on Sat.. Mon am 116g. Fan off for a day @57%

Late to add this week me and my son both came down with covid but I feel behind a little this week and will be playing catch up to next week. But for now here are a few photos.

Had to cut some top buds due to getting crispy from the light - no bueno. The rest of the buds are all good. This is the end of the grow I don't have any more content unfortunately. I have plans for some amazing grows soon with living soil! :) Total harvest from this one was 1683g.

Had these pictures on my memory stick was going to upload them at some point haha better late than never... Nice lush green growth after defoliation and a double dose of nutrients to help her recover from it.

E' DAVVERO INCREDIBILE!!! COME IO ABBIA AVUTO TALENTO PUR ESSENDO ALLE PRIME ARMI.... QUASI MEZZO CHILO .. IMPRESSIONANTE ANCORA NON CI VOGLIO CREDERE!!! TUTTO QUESTO GRAZIE ALLA MIA PASSIONE... E COSTANZA ... HO ADOTTATO IL TOPPING DALLA TERZA SETTIMANA E DA LI GIA HO NOTATO CHE IL RACCOLTO E LA PRODUZIONE AUMENTAVA... DOPODICHÉ HO ADOTTATO UMA MIA TECNICA SIMILE AL LST E ALLO SCROG.... PRATICAMENTE HO PIEGATO IN GIU TUTTI I RAMI UNO PER UNO CON DEI FILI COME LO SCROG MA SENZA RETE...A MANO ..CON DEI FILI.. COSI CHE LE CIME AVREBBERO POTUTO PRENDERE LUCE IN TUTTI GLI ANGOLI POSSIBILI E COSÌ È STATO SIGNORI E SIGNORE DA LÌ HO NOTATO CHE IL RACCOLTO TRIPLICAVA!! NON HO DAVVERO PAROLE SONO ULTRA SODDISFATTO VEDREMO IL PESO DA ASCIUTTE ASCIUTTE

Babies are getting fat I like that!

Week 3 of flower complete and an interesting week to re-count. Let's jump right in.... Day 37 - I feel like I should be reporting more the fact is the Candy Kush is happy and very healthy and notch to do but keep the environment steady and stay out of her way. So that's what I did. Day 38 - on this day I watered my lovely lady. She's adapted so well to the LST and just took off. She is the Candy of my eye. I was preparing to go to Vancouver for surgery so I gave a healthy top/bottom watering to cover for my time away. Day 39 - This day was travel day so before we left I checked environment and raised my light to 20" to allow room to grow. She grows an inch to 1.5" a day during stretch. And we're off. Day 40 - surgery day Day 41 - travel day Day 42 - after sleeping in my own bed I got up to water this morning. After 3 days she was just starting to drop her leaves. After watering she perked right back up again. I feel like my timing was good and suffered no issues. I also did some defoliation to clean up the bottom skirt. Day 43 - Today all is good. Environment is spot on, and she's a happy girl. Took off a few LG fan leaves blocking sites that cannot be tucked. So all in all a relatively easy week and a simple one for the Cabbage Farm. Thanks for checking in, I appreciate all your comments, likes, and feedback. Cheers 🌲🌬️ till next week.

DAY 28 flowering: Hi all Hope we are all fine and dandy in the grow diaries world this week. It has been a steady week this week with the ladies now focusing purely on bud site development . The only lady not really thriving is the smaller Mexican airline #1. It does seem she will be all plant and very little yield at this point but we will see it through. She isn't poor by any means but I do think she will have a inferiority complex within these beauties. Heehee Thankfully the other five ladies are powering on and producing some potential big bud sites. The stars of the grow are the Strawberry pie girls. These plants are huge and very, very productive . The lowers are developing some nice bud sites that in themselves look like beasts developing. They have really dense looking flowers that will no doubt become thick and possibly need some support on the side growth but seeing the stem strengths , they may be ahead of that issue themselves already. A perfect strain for an outside run for sure and with no training beside the tip spreading , they have easily now reached approx 4ft tall. The buds start really low on each limb with some node spacing initially large but the growing tips and main stem have a more stacked up bud appearance forming. I think they could possibly top my personal best for the autos at this rate. Both have about the same structure and bud building so I would hazard the same phenotype too. This is the second time I have grown this strain and the last one was very similar too. Very stable and should give some top notch nugs out. Six Shooter #1 is only slightly smaller than the Strawberry pie and has just as many productive side branches that want to show off too. Her sibling #2 was grown a lot flatter after the tip spreading and seems lost down low in the canopy now. She has a lot of buds tucked away but could easily be overgrown by the mexican#2 and Strawberry Pie #2 , if I am not pro active with her progress. As mentioned earlier, the Mexican airlines are both healthy and happy but the #2 is far more productive than the #1 . I do expect that the #1 will harvest a little after the others and that she may come through in the end. Overall these strains are genetic perfection this run . They have done their own thing with only the tip spreading being my intervention initially , and they have produced 6 perfect looking plants that are clearly different strains . From past experiences with these 3 strains , "The best is yet to come " with the development of their unique looking buds. Here comes some down and dirty bud porn only viewable to the faithful.!!! Be lucky all , catch you soon

Beginning of week.. Forgot to update end of last week.. but here she is!... So this week she should still be stretching and (hopefully) the slowdown should be the following week.. she is doing good.. water, feed, water, feed, etc. But not daily.. I do water, feed, skip, water, feed, skip, etc. I do that so the day after feeding 1 gal., she gets a day to dry out. Then I water 1.25 gal. to help rinse salts and build-up.. then feed the next day again.. so she isnt left too long without a feeding.. but I'm sure things would be fine if I watered/fed daily.. just a bit of a hassle for me now.. collecting rainwater and cutting it with 25% crappy tap water works great.. but a hassle lol.. she is happy and so am I! You can see in the pics that the stiples are turning purple are red.. just the stiples.. not the leaves.. not the pistils.. also noticed that on my last run with ETHOS Cookies and Mandarin Cookies.. pretty.. hopefully she will be very colorful! Almost mid week.. Wow.. literally no trichomes yesterday but this morning they are damn near on every bud site! Wow.. rubbing trichomes and sniffing gives me such joy and a hint of what to expect at harvest.. very sweet so far.. yessss! So excited! Mid week... Stretching quite a bit but she shouldn't get too much out of control. Running the WAKYME J-2000 at roughly 60% power and 12" - 14" above the canopy. She is receiving 1000 micromols at the center and about 550/600 micromols around the edges and corners are getting about 500 - 550 micromols.. entire plant is getting GREAT PAR! She is stretching so much that every 2 - 3 days, I need raise the light quite a bit.. I'd say she is stretching about 4 - 6 inches every 2 - 3 days. Fucking incredible, in my opinion. rubbing the trichomes.. aw man.. rubbing those GORGEOUS trichomes and getting a wiff of what she should be producing in the very near future is just mind blowing how complex and strong ETHOS terpenes are (at least the 3 that I have grown out). I couldn't be any happier with this strain.. or any ETHOS strain! ETHOS Genetics is easily in the top 5 of cannabis breeders, if not number 1.. I've got the OG Kush Autoflower waiting to be germinated soon.. can't wait to see what that girl can do, as well. It will be my first autoflower from ETHOS.. pics of her look EPIC AS FUCK!.. Anyways.. I'm just abusing my keyboard right now thanks to some Mandarin Cookies from ETHOS genetics.. super complex terpenes as well.. Mid week.. She got herself a good feeding today. The runoff pH has been coming out about .3 - .4 higher than going in.. the watering before today I went ahead and watered at 5.8.. runoff came out at 6.3.. perfecto! Today, went in at 6.2 and runoff came out 6.2... dos perfectos! Aye! So far, this girl is not disappointing at all! So much trochomes production just in the last 24 - 48 hours! Smells so freaking amazing!.. should be pretty fruity! I can't wait!!! End of week.. I've been kinda tweaking the nutes a bit.. I can see all the nute burn (trying to avoid overfeeding) but still trying to transition from grow to bloom.. actually, I thinkI can go to full on bloom now. She isnt stretching as much anymore. She had slowed quite a bit.. but perfectly lol.. so yeah.. gonna stop feeding grow nutes at this point.. and also cut out the MYCO+ because its only used in veg and transition. I'm going to add in some FloraNectar to make up for the molasses that was in the MYCO+.. no bloom boosters.. at least right now. Runoff is coming out perfectly.. sometimes it may drift to 6.5 but it has never gone out of range (6.5+).. if it stays at 6.5 for too long I end up watering/feeding at 5.8 at couple times and its back down to 6.1 or 6.2.. other than that.. no issues! On to the next week!...

Just put them into flower.

Just put them into flower.

02/12/21 The plants are really coming along well - one plant may be a male (see photos for the tall and skinny one) need to consider removing this tomorrow it is affecting the lighting of the plants in its pod because it is so tall the light needs to be higher. Lights at 80% and hung 20 inches away in general. 1ml Biogrow and 2ml Bio Heaven every other day.

This week went well, cut, dried and I began to cure the second plant in potting soil. The third and final one is doing really well showing nice bud formation. Will let it go until the end of the month just to see if the buds will fatten.
