Week 5: Preflower Transition & Canopy Management Update: June 21, 2025 (Day 38) The plants have officially entered preflower although it doesn't look very spectacular. But this will surely change my guys. Significant LST efforts continue to maintain an even canopy - all shoots are systematically positioned around the pots and secured with electrical wire for optimal light exposure. Strain Progress: Forbidden Runtz Maintains its dominant position as the largest plant. Shows the most advanced preflower development with numerous white pistils emerging. Its vigorous growth pattern suggests exceptional genetic expression compared to the others. Green Crack Remains the smallest plant with delayed preflower signs. However, its recent growth acceleration is notable. Given its later transition into preflower, it may still achieve substantial size. The anticipated mango aroma from previous grows remains a key point of interest. Bruce Banner Exhibiting impressive vertical stretch. All new growth has been immediately trained horizontally to promote additional cola development. Its reputation for large size keeps expectations high regarding its potential to rival Forbidden Runtz. Environmental Management: - Greenhouse temperatures monitored daily - Plants moved outside when temperatures exceed 30°C - Continued pest vigilance in enclosed environment Next Phase Focus: 1. Maintain LST adjustments as stems thicken 2. Monitor early bud development Thanks for checking in guys and hope you enjoy my dairy. Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Overall Development Week 4 marks the transition into mid-flower. Stretch has mostly stopped, and the plants are now directing energy into bud formation. The canopy remains uneven, with some taller, thinner phenotypes and others more compact and structured. Bud sites are clearly established across all main branches. Flower stacking is progressing steadily, and early cluster formation is visible on the tops. Plant Health & Observations • Significant yellowing on older fan leaves, especially mid-to-lower canopy. • Some plants appear pale green overall, indicating high nutrient demand during bulk transition. • One or two phenotypes remain darker green and structurally stronger. • Lower interior growth is lighter and less vigorous. • Selective removal of old yellow leaves was continued to improve airflow and light penetration. Despite visible leaf fade, bud development continues actively. Bud Development • Flower clusters are expanding and beginning to connect along the stems. • Pistil production is strong and consistent. • Buds are not yet dense but are clearly transitioning into the bulk phase. • Resin production is beginning to increase. This week represents the start of the main swelling period. Environmental Adjustments • Temperature reduced slightly (~1°C) to stabilize the flowering environment. • Airflow maintained across canopy level. • Canopy density moderately thinned to prevent moisture buildup. • Light coverage remains strong across the upper layer. Current Focus (Entering Week 5) • Support nutrient demand during bulk phase. • Prevent excessive early leaf loss. • Maintain stable humidity to protect developing flowers. • Monitor weaker phenotypes closely for further decline or nutrient imbalance. Overall, the crop is entering the critical mid-flower stage. The next two weeks will determine final bud density and structure.

From beginning to end i experienced 0 issues. I had great audience on GrowDiaries who helped me with suggestions and quick fixes to small issues they noticed. every question i had here got an answer and with nothing but love and respect, no one trying to slow down or make fun of being new. world has a lot to learn about treating each other like this.💪 The Advanced Nutrients pH perfect helped me and made this a breeze. Not to mention the amazing genetics of Humboldt Seeds Company. The grow process was phenomenal i saw change daily. Like HUUGE differences. Especially when I introduced BudCandy and Bud Ignitor by Advanced Nutrients.😍. I Highly recommend all of these products! so affodable on amazon and come right to your door. its a WIN WIN WIN. great price, amazing product, comes right to my house! The harvest was amazing, the aroma was incredible, the glue like finger tips i had with the gloves were mesmerizing. I spent a total of 7 Hours trimming everything to my liking and satisfaction. It was worth every second! I had just shy of an ounce from both plants wet, i am currently waiting for the dry number. I have all my beautiful flower inside the MyHerbsNow Dryer and in another 24-40 hours i will have a number for all my GROWMIES! Also i will post when i have made Bubble Hash with thay FAT bag of trim. Its like a huge piece so damn sticky 🤤 i love it. I love you all and all the support, i can not wait to start my next batch! Have some beautiful things in the works! 😉 STAY TUNED! STAY SAFE! And KEEP THE PASSION ALIVE! Happy growing!🙏👋🙌 SO UPDATE! OCTOBER 3rd 2019 finally dry in thee herbs now drier and i bought a new scale cause it seemed off not even an ounce wet! TURNS OUT 57grams dry!!!! Wooo!!!!! Spoke with the owner of herbsnow did some reverse calculations and the wet number was 69.6 WET. What a disaster UPDATE ON THE SMOKE OF THE GOOD STUFF! the high is still really good super clean tasting. my head feels like it is vibrating, lower back pain is gone. i feel high but do not feel lazy :) again thank you everyone for your support and love. until the next one. be safe 😘

Day 22: Honestly didn't think I would have made it this far. The girls are looking great minus a couple of issues. I have over watered them and over fed too! Not to mention trying to LST too early. I will wait a bit longer before watering this time. Day 23: MORNING - They were super dry. I have been over watering a bit so I watered maybe 1/2 gallon for all 6. I also did some more LST and took 1 large fan leaf off of each plant. I will update again before lights out. Day 23: NIGHT - The girls are responding very well to the LST. I don't think they are liking the 80°. I am starting to have issues with lower humidity again. I need to try and figure some sort of ducting out or possibly even get a small AC unit for the grow room. Day 24: MORNING - I removed a couple more leaves that were covering potential bud sites. I have also done a partial main-line on the smallest girl. It looks to be already showing pistols. I've had to open the tent with a big fan blowing directly in with the humidifier behind it. The girls were getting hot and dry. Day 24: NIGHT - Well 5 are showing to be female. The biggest plant is showing no signs of sex. I am guessing it will be the mystery seed. I will be doing no more LST to these ladies for at least a week or better. I think I have stressed them out enough the past 2 days. Day 25: These girls are very resilient!! I tortured them all weekend and the one I nopped off to do a sort of mainline grew by 20% at least. Day 26: It is the official 3 week mark today and the girls are starting to flower. I tied em down to get light to all bud sights. I will 100% not touch them unless they need it from this point!!!! They are soo small and I need not stunt them any more!! I have removed the Mystery Seed as it looks to be a male and I do not want to take the chance!! Also fed and watered today. Only 200 ppm for the feed. Day 27: Nothing new to report. These girls are gonna be tiny :| I must've stressed em too much too soon :( Looking good though I think! 💪 Day 28: I never do what I say. Dumb! Broke main stem on one of the best plants. Taking it as a lessons learned. It's been two hours and she looks SICK! Oh well.

Hi Guys and Girls I will do this challenge to 😎 I use a tiny pot 16 oz-0.43 l (i dont have a solo cup) I hope my Bart Simpson will do a lot I used soil with perlite+coco For this challange i will use BioBizz nutriments and a lot of love.😍😍 Thanks to read me Good grow 🤘🤘

1.10.25 Day 66 Day 18 since 12/12 Fresh reservoir change out. Added 10 liters. I want to see how long it will last. I also increased light intensity.

So she is a little stunted by the rain! The soil got completely drenched for about a week and I can tell it effected the growth. Looks like the pre pre flowers are starting to show at the end of week 3. No food yet, but thinking soon when the soil drys out because the rain washed out the soil! 🤷‍♀️🏻 ✌️💚🌿💨

Smells like Rubber bands coated in a berry sugar or berry sryup very interesting on the nose! Harvested day 67 ish maybe a couple more hard ot tell outdoor Split the harvest into drying buds and some to made into fresh frozen hash. i can dry weigh the fresh frozen buds and put that weight in the wet section and i will put the to smoke buds in the dry weight section so total between the two will be the whole plant Drying was a big mishap got condensation around day 10 of drying and it caused some mold 🤦‍♂️ right around the time i was going to cure! Found a peroxide soak that ill post butt it seemed to take off all the mold without affecting tricomb heads! Had to re dry for another week afterward i feel like the re dry maybe messed with the terps because it definitely never got the smell back like i thought but who knows slmost 3 weeks into cure coukd get better but doubt it

Gorgeous looking plant, very thick and dense main cola which is gonna hold the 70% of the weight, however the secondary branches develop dense fat and compact flowrs as well, I would love to apply LST on this strain by gea seeds when I grow her again because I think I will. Follow me on this journey, let's see how this lady performs!!

This week both plants entered a strong vertical expansion phase 🌿 Internodal spacing increased noticeably, showing a clear push in height rather than lateral stacking. • Height approx. 30 cm • 4+ developed nodes expanding rapidly • No training applied (intentional canopy synchronization with Jelly Donutz) Pheno #2 is clearly separating itself 👀 The stem thickness is impressive, (roughly the size of a thumb or a Clipper lighter) nearly twice as thick as the other plant. Leaf size is the largest seen so far in this run, with very broad fan leaves and strong biomass production 💪 Lower damaged leaves from the transplant phase were removed. Canopy now fully green and healthy 💚 Light intensity increased to ~600 PPFD under 18/6 ☀️ IR schedule remains active. Internodal spacing suggests vertical drive, likely influenced by genetics + IR interaction. Leaf posture shows light praying but not aggressive, indicating comfort without excessive light stress. Watering every 2–3 days based on pot weight 💧 Pheno #2 shows slightly higher demand, drying the pot roughly half a day earlier than its sister, a strong indicator of increased root and transpiration activity. Feeding this week: • 1x Orgatrex • 1x Greenhouse Bio Enhancer • Otherwise RO + CalMag (switching to BioBizz CalMag without nitrogen moving forward) Environment stable, structure strong, momentum clearly increasing 🚀 Overall: strong vegetative drive, clear pheno divergence, and rising growth energy going into the pre-flip window

Just given water this week (nutrients won't let me display 0 😱) The leaves have lost their green right into the buds so it's time to chop them down. I'll try to do this later today or in the morning.

Alright boy-o!!! let's flip the script and do some growing, put what I can out here and see what we get. One thing is for sure... Screw 12/12 from seed its not useful for me and I'm tired of the waste. Oh, and ApPAreNtLy if you don't prove grow skills as a new grower, people get butt hurt and it only goes downhill from there... so here we go this tents about to get full. Cheers! Thank you @marshydroeleen for the light and let's see what this light can do. That said, Let's talk set up. My 3x3 is powered by the MarsHydro TS1000 and is being cooled via air recirculation. This is achieved with my 4" ipower inline fan. Humidity isn't an issue for me by nature of climate. My tent temperatures are easily controlled simply by stopping air recirculation. It is dried out simply by restarting the fan. This is in pat due to running the driver external of the tent to provide a few degrees less in the tent. Humidity is increased by stoppage and this also increases the Temps very slightly until at about 78f. Now all of this would normally be a chore to keep track of, however my yardsale score ($80) included a Titan Controls Saturn 6 with the photocell addition makes this as easy as plugging it in. Now, if that score wasn't sweet enough it also included the co2 tank and valve to boot. This is currently set up and plumbed in the top of the tent. This won't be plugged in and operating until the first week of flower. Until then it's ready to go. I filled my sub irrigated 3.5gal planters with SUNSHINE company mix#4 with mycorrhizae and watered with 1/3gal of water from the tap. The transplant went smoothly and we will start watching this lady turn things back around. This will be a good show of what the strain has to offer. After a good thorough cleaning the tent is set and the ladies are in. There will be new ladies joining the tent in a few weeks but for now these ladies return to veg in peace. I hope to turn this nightmare of a run into a sponsorship worthy run. So cheers to the new challenge and let's get growing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsors @marshydroeleen and the MarsHydro company for the TS1000. @expertseeds thank you for the new genetics can't wait to smoke!

BANANA PURPLE PUNCH - 420 FAST BUDS This plant started off stunted and looking all round unhealthy but I gave hear time lowered her nutrients and she’s come right back to life forming nice dense dark purple buds … The smell is amazing she smells of berries and lemony woody gassy smell. Nothing like banana if you ask me! Cannot wait to smoke this strain DRSHOTZUK

New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day. Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!! Trimming so I can keep the same hight. Have any tips or rekomandation? Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

Start of the new week, some good growth seen.. can't complain, strong vigorous growth in a short space of time. Can't wait to see how quick she grows over the next couple days. Stay tuned. Day 26 - very quick growth from this one, in two minds about letting her go a bit longer in veg, or to flip to 12/12 at the end of week 4. So far so good. Day 27 - so far doing super good. Im due to flip as i cant wait anymore with the other girls needing to be flipped. But i shall see how she does, no doubt ill be running her again. Stay tuned.

Week went smoothly cant complain....cutting are doing well also took 4 cutting of seed(think it's from applelicious) they already rooted n transplanted going to veg for a lil n send to flower to see if it's worth

This is a super strain no hesitation go get this one you won't regret

Upgraded from 200wts - 450wts Marshydro ts 3000. So far so good!!🤩

Going well
