I have decided to chop the most mature plant of the three, even though it could go longer I was originally going to be chopping all three because I am about to leave on a trip, however a friend of mine is able to take care of the other 2 less mature ones. I was planning on just saying fuck it and chop them all but the less mature ones have still mostly white pistils and I can’t bring myself to do it, they started putting more weight on these past few days and I know if they just could get a few more weeks they will really be amazing with a lot of weight. Interesting that one matured faster than the other 2, although I think this corresponds with the size of the buds as the mature plant’s buds are not particularly big, hoping to pull 25 grams at least from it. The less mature plants are beginning to bulk and as I stated earlier, I just can’t chop them and ruin all their potential yet. The calyxs are swelling a lot and looking super tasty. Will continue to add updates for the other 2 plants

Day 92: Going to try a week without nutrients. The slurry test was good. I am either over or underwatering. Cannot seem to get it correct this time. However, after last night's watering, she is a lot less droopy. Day 93: no pictures. Added one gallon pH6.5 water with 2 tablespoons Herculean Harvest. Day 94: nothing to report other than she is drinking rapidly and looking healthier. Day 95: added one gallon pH6.5 water with 2 tablespoons Herculean Harvest. Almost no runoff. Day 96: added one gallon of pH6.5 water with nutrients Day 97: nothing to report. Trimmed some leaves that never survived the yellowing. Day 98: nothing to report. Decided to let her dry another day.

Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Flowering Plants)- This week really threw me a curveball! I had a major equipment failure. On Wednesday (day 24 of flower) I went to check on the flower room about 3 hours after my lights should have turned on and noticed my S44 Ionboard was not powered on. I quickly began to asses the situation and determined that my actual driver on the light fixture was broken and there was no power running to the light. The light was also my main power source for my controller 69 pro, so it went off as well and was unable to let me know the light was powered off via the app. When I noticed this I called a grow-bro of mine, and asked if I could borrow his Viparspectra Par 700 he had, he purchased the AC Infinity Evo 10 Ionframes and had that light sitting around! Shout out to @Mr. Wowie for the quick save. With his help, I was able to get a light back over my plants within 4 hours. Not ideal but better than it could have been! The next day I was able to purchase and install a used HLG 550 locally. This light is even meaner than my old ionboard! Boasting 480 watts of power from the MeanWell drivers, Samsung LM301H diodes, it was repaired and has an import heat sink, however it doesn't seem to get too hot. It's very similar to my old light and the plants seem to be doing fine, with no signs of herming or extreme stress. This week I noticed both Phenos flowers are really beginning to swell up. By the end of flower I'm sure these nugs will be almost soda can sized. The number 1 Pheno is still purple as can be and has clearly not ceased it's anthocyanin production. The number 2 Pheno caught my eye, or more my nose this week it's giving off an awesome terp profile. It has a bit fruitier of a smell than the #1, sort of like a good peach strain, super lemon haze or good strawberry Pheno. Where it's really in your face. The #1 Pheno is total candy, sweet. Huge diversity in these 2 phenos! Very cool to see. I installed a new Dehumidifier this week to keep up with the humid spring. I purchased an Air Plus 50 pint on sale on Amazon. This dehumidifier works very well and has been doing a wonderful job at managing humidity levels in the flower room. I gave the last feeding of build a flower and tm-7 this week and will be watering with only water and Fish Sh!t from this point unless the plants tell me otherwise. Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Clones)- The clones did not have as interesting of a week, however they have began shooting more branches out and are developing the stereotypical thick Raspberry Ripple stalk, we've come to know and love these last 5 months. They seem to be on a good growth pace to run a perpetual cycle with. I feel they'll be pretty well ready for flower by the time I harvest the original plants. I still plan to keep a mother of each Pheno. Then begin my next Pheno hunt of Whiteberry by Paradise seeds. That pretty much wraps this week's entry up! Until next week, Happy Growing!- Starfish

As of day 57 the grow is going well! I am more confident that the leaf yellowing is regular end of life changes at this point. The buds are putting on decent weight and the trichomes have mostly clouded over. It is entering the harvest window in my opinion, but I am going to wait another week or so before harvest and give it some time to ripen more. I have switched my feeding to a mild does of GO biothrive bloom which will finish the grow with primarily organic nutes through the last couple weeks. i will continue to fade down the nutrients as the plant is hitting the end of its life. Thanks for reading!

💚 ORION LIQUID NUTRIENTS 💜 This is a clear example of me absolutely underestimating the nutrient need when using only liquid nutrients. The plant, as a result, has really not grown as this in comparison with the 💚ORION F1 ORGANIC DRY AMENDMENTS* 💚 Which has been topped and grown 3 times the size of this one! I topped this plant on the 20.6.25. Here is what I fed this week: 19.6.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.1 and containing the following nutrients per 2 litres; ♡ 1/3 Cal-Mag ♡ 1/3 Mega Crop Part B ♡ 1/3 Tsp Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients PH: 6.1 PPM: 891 26.6.25 I gave 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 with the following nutrients per 2ltrs; ♡ 2 ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1 Tsp Ecothrive Biosys PPM: 811 PH: 6.6 Thanks for stopping by this week 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

Hello fellow cannabis lovers, this Week my pineapple express started to show her little buds in formation, so far she is healthy and really like to be under those new leds I got, they are really powerful and seems to do the job better than HPS... I hope no more little rust points on leaves.... We will see if it was the hps doing those side effects on leaves... The leds are producing less heat than my HPS, so this summer my bedroom will not become a sauna with cannabis aromatherapy ! 😀Added some worm castings and fish blood with bones and guano to the soil approximately 2 handfull all mixed and water 1. 5l. I will add some pics of her when she was in vegetative cycle. That is all until next week, thank you for checking up on my little grow and for all the nice comments received, it is so nice to have fellow cannabis lovers to share our labour of love with, so little people I know care about gardening... Here in the UK cities people just want to smoke anything and do not care about the plant the way we do here, they just see money and getting high... Also of course I cannot talk about it to others because of illegality and the less who know the better... This is the only place I share my passion for gardening and cannabis even if it is a breach in my secret, I am sure no one in the law care about my little personal medical cannabis production and have bigger criminals to go after, again wishful thinking? 😁 Anyway we have to show we cannabis lovers are no threat to society and can be functional and gardeners even after smoking! I hope one day cannabis is no longer a threat to society but a solution! Cannabis can be used in so many ways it is the Swiss army knives of the plant world, an ally for overpopulated cities, and help the world heal from their mad stressful way of seeing things and doing things. Lol here I go again see you next week

Hi Cannafam, its all about the microbes! Brewed a tea for 24hrs, of the soil activator 2.6g, fresh organic kefir 100g, EM1 4ml, aquaponics microbes (fresh semi solid fish waste) 100g. and molasses at a rate of 20g per gal. or 5g per Litre. Once brewed add yucca at a rate of 1ml per gal, then use as a foliar spray and root drench. Just thinking I should have added some worm castings to the mix as well. That's next for next week I guess.

21/08/2023 I decided to trim the yellow tips on the large leaves because some rather concerning black spots were starting to appear on those yellow areas. I also trimmed the small yellowed leaves (even though they didn't seem to have these black dots) I am very pleased with the outcome of #3, I will now always use LST for my future grows and not ScrOG as I said last week. I don't expect to end up with huge buds due to the lack of fertilizer, which is why I plan to use Root Juice, BioGrow, BioBloom, TopMax, and BioHeaven from BioBizz in my next grow. I will also need an oscillating fan, having to move it around to prevent some burns on the leaves is quite annoying. I would like to find one smaller than 15CM, but I don't think it's possible. The only ones in this case are battery-operated and not oscillating. I don't know why the buds of #2 have such long hairs. 25/08/2023 I received my magnifying glass, it's not meant to be put on a phone, but I still managed to take these photos at x60 magnification (I have a x90 magnifying glass, but it's impossible to take good photos with it). You don't see much in some photos at x60 magnification, but like everything else, I will improve over the weeks.

7/16/22 Today marks the 1st day of week 14, and the start of the 2nd week of the ripening stage. Stella received a gallon of water mixed with the following nutrients: FloraMicro - 5 ml FloraBloom - 15 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml Dry KoolBloom - 0.5 tsp. I seem to be having an issue with pH the last 2 feeding days. I think my gallon jugs have reached the end of their lifetimes, and THAT is what is causing my issue. It has happened to me once before, and getting new jugs cleared up the issue. I’m assuming that will be the solution to the problem. However, we all know what “assume” stands for don’t we? If you don’t, leave a comment and I’ll explain. The initial pH was 5.4. That is the lowest that I have ever had simply after adding nutrients. I added a total of 10 ml’s of pH UP, which in my opinion is way too much! But, I did it in 3 separate increments. Not that that makes it better. The final pH after all that was 6.3. The runoff pH was 5.6. She is still looking good, but you can tell she’s getting ready to start getting to her end stage. I wait with baited breath! The tent was 81.7F, with a humidity of 56%. We’re almost there! Happy growing everyone. 7/18/22 Today I’m going to keep this note brief… I promise. Stella is continuing to fatten up getting ready for harvest in a few weeks. She is still doing well. Today she received a gallon of water mixed with the ripen stage nutrients again. I changed all of my jugs, but after mixing everything up the initial pH was 5.5. I added 8 ml’s of pH UP which adjusted the pH going in to 6.2. Her runoff pH was 5.6. The tent was 83.3F, with humidity at 58%. See! A short note is possible!! Happy growing everyone. 7/21/22 Stella and all of her children were fed today. As usual, a day later than planned, but they got fed, and are all still doing wonderful. We’re keeping with the ripen nutrients mixed into a full gallon of water. FloraMicro - 5 ml FloraBloom - 15 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml Initial pH was 5.2. I added 12 ml’s of pH UP which adjusted it to 6.2. She had plenty of runoff with a pH of 5.8 The tent was 83.9F, and humidity was 52%. Her buds are FAT!! Happy growing everyone!

02/03/25 Short facts: - 58cm high - Light is @80% but in a distance of 24 to 35cm - 600 to 740 ppfd - VPD increased to 1.0 but I only do get it up to 0.9 - Defoliated again --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She has grown significantly again, becoming taller and producing more leaves. I had to defoliate her once more, but she has already regrown some leaves, so I'll probably have to defoliate her again this week. I'm really impressed, she's doing so well!

😎 The plant continues to give birth to new leaves and the trichomes grow in number and size 😏 With the window open there is no smell in the house, if I leave the windows closed a few hours you can smell the typical smell of marijuana only in the room where there is the plant.. 👋 I water the plant once every 3 days with 1 liter of water with the fertilizers described above.
