This week has been a mixed bag for my two plants. #1 is really taking off now, showing strong growth and picking up speed!🌱 It’s looking healthy and vigorous, which is great to see. Towards the end of the week, I also noticed the first signs of flowering—exciting! Unfortunately, #2 is still struggling.😩 It has barely grown and remains very small compared to #1. If it doesn’t start making progress soon, I might consider replacing it with another plant. I’ll give it a little more time, but let’s see how things develop in the next week. Fingers crossed!🤞

สัปดาห์นี้ มีกลิ่นที่แรงขึ้น และหอมสมุนไพรมาก ใบเริ่มขาดสารอาหารเนื่องจากผลิตช่อดอก ใบเริ่มรกทึบ ฉันควรที่จะนำใบออกในสัปดาห์ถัดไป ไตรโครมปกคุมแน่นขึ้นและเห็นได้อย่างชัดเจน

Another hard defoliation at end of week 2. Mixed new reservoir for the week, with Cropsalt it remains stable for over 7 days if you adjust your PH, stable for 24 hrs, prior to mixing your nutrients. Will add more pics throughout the week, 3 genetics, Apple fritter X thin mint, cereal milk cross to Runtz and Natty’s Kush x thin mint (GSC) All are in 2 Gal, coco coir/perlite w/ Dynomyco 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

This week, I tried to LST them in the beginning of the week, but the stalks were flimsy and weak. I put a fan on them with a significantly more vigorous wind :) This helped, then I tried to LST train with my bending clips, the distance between the nodes was still to close. So I raised the light 2 inches, which helped, I figure by 2-3 days from now, I will be able to start the proper LST. I also flushed the res and put in new water and nutrients. Some of the plants are showing what appears to be Cal/mag deficiency. So I added an increased dosing into the res, I then took about 10ml of the mix and put it into the small res's at the bottom of the AutoPots to give a boosted dose to the plants directly. Other than that, this grow is *boomin*. I'm very happy with the progress, and these plants are thick, bushy and growing like crazy.

Took some plants out of the flower room and rearranged the rest of them. Unfortunately the Critical Mass is still on the edge of the light. The good part it is doing great! Did a bit of defoliation during the week and as much as I tried to be careful, my hands were covered in sticky tric's. They smelled great. Buds are building great and looking frosty. I was a bit surprised by all the sticky buds, however I really did not know what to expect with a CBD strain. Stopped with the nutrients and from here on in just tap water. Hoping with just water for the next few weeks they will flush out by themselves. Five weeks of flower complete and another three left. Thanks for looking, Cheers!

Have not been disappointed by this strain, from start to finish! Blown away by her resilience. Very smelly girl, literally has my mouth watering 🤤 Nugs are really solid and dense, they have been the best I've grown so far. RQS have done an excellent job 🤯🤯

Day 17. - The ghetto CO2 generator did it's thing! They all exploded yesterday. I fed this morning @ full strength (1mL/L) Green Buzz Organig Grow Liquid, with about 1.5tsp molasses, and 1mL of Bokashi EM Juice (not bokashi tea, but the EM inoculant). After feeding I tied up and down. Ponytails for the top fan leaves, to expose the bottom nodes. And stakes to get the bottom nodes a bit more horizontal. Tangie is probably the prettiest out of the bunch. Before our first training, she was the most symmetrical and had shown the most growth in girth. The fan leaves were definitely shading the nodes underneath though, so I'm expecting some nice growth out of those tomorrow morning, after today's CO2 session. I bumped up the smell in my diary to 'strong'. It's not flower smell yet, but the veg smell is reeking. A friend noticed it as soon as I opened my vent-room door. But the good news is that she said she couldn't smell anything before then. When I open the tent, it's so strong that it's dank already. Again, not a flower smell...but I've never smelled a stronger veg-oder than these. Nobody could ever convince me that yeast is futile or too much work. The growth from day 16-->17 was simply mind-blowing. I'm expecting more tomorrow, after the heavy feeding today. Day 20. So...some news. Yesterday I got the new fan. Freaking sweet- screw that clip on fan nonsense. And today, I've been busy. Non-tent related... I put together a worm farm. So I'm hoping for castings in a few months. Fed the bokashi bucket. I've had a problem with fungus flies (look like gnats, but live in soil). Elsewhere, notice that this falls under 'Non-tent related' :D. So I removed the top inch of soil in that houseplant, sprayed a soapy water mixture and covered with 1.5 inches of sand. I'm including this here, because I was terrified that those dudes would somehow find their way to my tent (on the other side of the house). But I think I've seen the last of them. Tent related... I watered with a nice castings tea that brewed for about 24 hours. I hope I didn't f*ck up. I hit GG and Strawberry Cheesecake with it before I pH'ed it down. So they got dosed at around 7.6. I went back to them and hit them with a cup of pH'ed tea (6.5). Then the light cut off, and it was their bedtime. I had to wait for LST until after their nap. But while they were on black out, I got a package. Some dope-AF smartplugs. I can now control my LED, my exhaust, and my air mover from my phone. There's a built in digital timer where I can schedule on/off's. And it *measures* my usage! :D How cool is that?! Welcome to the space age. I also got a USB microscope, which is also badass. So look for pics from that in the coming weeks... Later when the light went back on (courtesy of my new smartplug!) I went back and did LST and pics for today. Day 21. New dehum. It's loud AF and uses a boatload of electricity. But let's see if they look a little better, once the humidity sinks. It's been at 85-90%. It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under...

Flowers coming outta the cola tops. We continue...

final weeks flowering

The harvest took 5 hours and is really good. I am drying in racks then in the curing bucket for about a month or so then in the freezer.

Busy schedule so no s lot time to update but here we go into week 5 now and she is solid flowers and shooting orange hairs allready smells really stinky and potent i guess not long now

starting flush

Vigorous Males, Strong Clones, and Bud Formation This week was full of action in the grow! Two out of the three males are in full bloom, and I’m actively collecting pollen. They are impressive plants, with strong structures and large pollen sacs. If everything stays on track, I believe the females will be ready for pollination in about a week. Observations: All 18 clones have successfully rooted! Some have already entered the vegetative stage and are receiving supplemental light at nightfall to keep their growth steady. The plants responded very well to the light defoliation I did earlier. Now, the buds are starting to take shape, showing great progress in the flowering phase. To optimize this stage, I spaced out the pots, ensuring better airflow and increased light penetration, which should support full and healthy flowering. This week, I plan to top off the pots with more substrate, ensuring the plants have enough space and nutrients to reach their full potential. Next Steps: Keep monitoring the males and collecting pollen at the right time. Watch the females closely to determine the ideal moment for planned pollinations. Observe the clones' growth and adjust care as needed. The grow is on the right track, and expectations for the coming days are high!

They really have grown over the last 7 days going to start feeding next week. I'm so Looking forward to seeing how these development,

Starting off week 8 and the girls are looking great. Switched over to a 1-4-3-6 of the CaliMag and Gen Hydro Trio for feeding. The clones are looking better too. May have lost one but time will tell. Taking a trip out of town for a week so I’m hoping the girls won’t miss me too much. The dehumidifier has been doing good at keeping RH down when lights are off. Clones have officially been transplanted at the end of week 8. That will be the end of their discussion moving forward in this diary as I will be making a new diary for them.

Flowers looking great… smell is incredible

So after further review I found that the Big Bang is an auto that REQUIRES a dark period throughout its flowering stage and doesn’t do well under 24 hours of light🤦‍♂️🏾She lost almost every leaf she had but her branches are still strong and she’s trying to survive. I’m not too worried about it, I can always give it another run. As far as the crystal candy I’m contemplating on cutting a single branch now while the terpenes are cloudy and then cutting the rest when Amber just to experience the difference in high first hand.

Our girl is doing really nice, the training was successful and now part of her is under ground and she is growing nice. I have increased the water intake a bit more
