Fruity Durban | Flowering Week 4 🌸 Week 4 is in the books and this lady is finally starting to show her true potential. The stretch seems to be slowing down and the flowers are beginning to stack nicely along the branches. Bud sites are everywhere and the structure built during veg is now paying off, allowing good light penetration throughout the canopy. During this week I noticed the plant was looking a bit hungry. The leaves became noticeably lighter, so instead of preparing an enzyme tea, I decided to give her a fresh top dress to replenish the soil food web and provide some extra nutrition for the upcoming bulking phase. One unexpected issue appeared during the week: my timer started malfunctioning. Every day it would randomly stop at 16:00, which obviously isn’t something you want during flowering. After troubleshooting the problem for a few days, I finally replaced it with a new unit and everything is now running smoothly again. Despite that inconvenience, the Fruity Durban didn’t seem to miss a beat. Growth remained vigorous, flowers continued developing, and the first hints of frost are starting to appear on the sugar leaves. The living soil bed is performing exactly as intended. The thick mulch layer is keeping moisture levels stable, the worms remain active, and the soil ecosystem seems healthy and resilient. Looking ahead, the next couple of weeks should be the most exciting part of the cycle. Stretch is nearly over and now it’s time to focus on flower development, resin production, and hopefully the first real terpene expression. Thanks for following along and see you next week! 💚

girl, from the beginning she was watered with water from the tap, the value of which is almost 350ppm. and a lot of lime, which prevents me from growing it bigger, but I'm happy with the result :) it's a small pot and only 50 w :) the flowers look very beautiful and sticky :) super ​

When I did the hard flip turning lights off for 72 hours she is stretching 3 “ a day loving every minute of it

Water feed ph 5.8 twice daily 1 cup 1 gallon pot

Nice buds, coated with frost. Lived through root wrought, so I will give this plant a good grade for disease resistance. I will continue filling in as harvest / curing completes.

Welcome back all, following a week that has been a fairly straight forward seven days or so in Fat Yappa's Garden, as the older Bruce Banners reach day 51, day 44 for the runt of the sisters, planted on the same day but that took a week longer to germinate, and day 42 for the two Wedding Cheesecake's, one growing in Coco Coir, the other in the same living soil as her Bruce Banner Fastbuds cousins. The week began with last weeks humidity issues brought well and truly into hand with the addition of the new 20L dehumidifier from Meaco, specifically designed for the UK weather. However a shift in the aforementioned from the falls dawn of an early spring, to a return to more usual climate conditions for this time of year through things off kilter once again. Despite pulling around 6L of water out the air a day, she was struggling to keep the RH down to around 50% with my central heating returned to its usual position of 18c, but an increase to 20c has taken things back in line, and the humidity has returned to the mid 40's I was aiming for. Humidity concerns during this off period however, and a subsequent inspection below the top layer of the canopy, which resulted in the discovery of quite a lot of whitish, moist growth, prompted a mass defoliation, mostly of the Bruce Banners. I had been performing very light defoliation up until this point, only removing dead/almost dead leaves, and very select leaves from the top of the canopy that were blocking what looked like bud sites, but the lack of light and air getting through past the top layer, together with the fact that now bud sites are far clearer to a novice such as I, lead me to the conclusion that the time was right. Besides the runt, all these plants have not even skipped a beat. The runt has been a bit droopier in her leaves than the others all in all, but I have looked in on them and seen her with leaves pointing up and praying a few times since so I trust all is well. Following the defoliaton on day 47, the plants stuck to their two day watering schedule, but di threatened to need an increase to daily, as day 50 saw waterings a mere 24hrs after the previous day, but feeling the weight of the pots yesterday I elected to wait til 48 hours to water again. The water amounts per plant has also become more erratic than previously, so I have been watering more carefully. Other than that the week has been pretty much plain sailing, and what look like to be some big looking flowers coming up all over the canopy, as all bar the Wedding Cheesecake in living soil are now fully in flower, but she will be there by next week. The Bruce banner I accidentally snapped the top off from the second node down doing LST a few weeks ago seems to be about half a week ahead of the other two of the same age, and trichomes have began to appear on the leaves around the buds. The biggest plant in the tent is still the wedding Cheesecake in Coco coir, as she now stand a metre tall and her top is the same level as the light now. Her size is a concern because it has caused me to neglect her in favour of the other plants, certainly in terms of light, but she doesn't seem to have any more bud sites than the other plants, and for the time being at least, her older cousins are leaving her to shame in this department, but she still has a week to catch up. Lastly, day 39 saw another compost tea feeding, the same recipe as last time. Happy growing everyone, and I will catch you all again next week.

Nice start flowering time. Need sunny weather now. Left flower has bigger blooms, it is nice. Edit: The left flower goes faster.. Start nutrients Plagron Green Sensation and Royal Sugar for maximum blooming now.

Mild defoliation throughout this week. Flush imminent so will leave the remaining fans as nute banks. Next run with these genetics I'll be running a monstercropped clone under this scrog and will go heavier with the defoliation earlier on. I was advised this on here this grow and did a bit but have learned I need more! Forever learning. Looks like it's gonna be an epic harvest. These girls smell absolutely dank. Testament to the quality of these Madame Grow Fertilisers. Harvest just get better every time! Also big shout out to my bro at NatureDelight.co.uk providing some awesome organics to add into the grow schedule. Used The Active Sugar Boost all through flower at 3ml per litre this run and I think the results speak for themselves. I cannot implore you guys enough to go check this stuff out. It's unique and you wont find better customer service. Lots of vids and content this week as we all love bud shots <3

Good for sure Might be 7 week flower to finish such great indoor plants!! The shortest FruitWalker I have found with s Short SVF !!

Girls are doing well....seed looking like she earning her name..have some cutting off her n am please with the first week of flower....one got super stress n she dont even look like it jus watchin to see how things look later

08.07.2023 Tag 64 an #1 hab ich leichten Magnesiummangel festgestellt, es gab heute beim Gießen eine kleine extra Dosis CalMag und ein Blattspray mit Epsom Salz - ansonsten entwickeln sich beide hervorragend - ich habe 2 Secret Jardin Cossmorrow 20W Bloom mit ins Zelt gehangen, um die langen Budsites zu bedienen - das bringt ganz schön Temperatur ins Zelt Alles in Allem bin ich sehr zufrieden bisher -> vor allem mit der Entlaubung. Das sieht jetzt richtig gut aus.

Amazing growth withbsome lst training to keep her down and open up new bud sites to lighting.

Die dritte Blütewoche hat am letzten Samstag begonnen. Ich hoffe die machen jz nicht mehr all zu viele Meter, mein Zelt ist schon fast nach oben hin zu klein. 10cm ca dürften aber noch locker drinnen sein. Der Geruch ist langsam auch sehr angenehm :))

lovely smell coming from her

11/17/18 Beginning of week 4 of flower. Day 21-22 of flower. So far I am pretty happy with my results. O think I identified one sativa leaning phenotype, one indica, and also that grows slower then the rest. Although not entirely sure if its the environment that created these differences. As they further develop I may get some clues to this regard. Black Magic soil seems to work great with no issues of burning or deficiencies whatsoever. Are far as smell its not very noticeable unless the plants are disturbed or pruned. Decided to discontinue the Aerated teas. Im sure the ladies have plenty or microbes in the soil. The rest of this grow they will only be feed 3-12-12 bloom fert untill its time to start the flush. Buds should really start to develop in the coming weeks so stay tuned. Also im already planning my next run which will be 10X different strains including this one. Another 5-6 weeks on this one. Shout out to ilovegrowingmarijuana.com for these beans. 11/24/18 End of week 4 and the buds are looking amazing. Nice and frosty already. Noticed slight yellowing on the tallest girl. I suspect my LED was a little too close. Increased distance.Other then that smooth sailing. The next 2 weeks they should really begin to develop and put on weight. Cant wait to see what these 4 beauties produce!

Settimana un poco fredda quindi è stata praticamente tutta la settimana dentro, finalmente è uscito il sole quindi l ho posizionata fuori per farla recuperare un po' dato che con questa poca luce si è stirata un po'

📆 Semana 7 La Mental Rainbow sigue avanzando firme en floración, con cogollos más densos y cubiertos de tricomas brillantes. Los pistilos continúan desplegando colores vivos, mientras el aroma dulce y terroso se intensifica. La estructura sigue sólida y bien aireada, favoreciendo el engorde máximo. 🌿 La genética promete resina y aromas intensos. Al final del día vi algo de brotitis en la punta central. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Whats up GD !!! ------------- GROWTH------------- Topped one of the plants, the bigger one (it is 3 days younger than the other) ------------- IRRIGATION------------- Watered both ladies, around 0.2-0.3l each one with Biogrow. ------------- NUTRIENTS------------- BioGrow 1ml/l --------------------------------------- Good vibes !! _04/04/2018_
