During week 7 the 3 plants continue to grow outstandingly well! The BADAZZ-CHEESE and ZHEETOS from BIG BUDDHA SEEDDS have a healthy green color and grow so much foliage that I have to defoliate on a regular basis. On day 43 (=flowering day 19) I take off all bigger fan leaves in order to ensure a better airflow thru the closet. The humidity is unfortunately still on the high side and sometimes exceeds 80% in the daily maximum, that is MUCH too high during flowering. I increased the dose of BIO NOVA nutrients according to their feeding scheme and all plants LOVE IT! The ZHEETOS #1 plant grows much taller than her sister ZHEETOS #2, therefore I decide to SUPER-CROP her on Day 48 (=FD 23). This technique developed by SOMA from SOMA-SEEDS is one of my favorites and I use it since years in order to bush out plants, which grow to high. Appr. 15-20 cm from the top of the plant, right above an internode, I take the main stem between two fingers and press very hard until I can feel the fibres inside the stem brake. By slowly pressing all around the diameter of the stem I create a weak spot at which I bend over the stem, so it looks 90-180 degrees downward. I do this very carefully to NOT BRAKE the outer skin of the stem while I bend the stem downwards. Even if some fibres brake, the stem will repair itself within a few days to a week and then start to point upwards again...👍😃 During the time the main stem needs to repair itself, all other side-stems will grow more upwards and this makes the plant bush out more. At the same time a super-cropped plant will produce bigger buds at harvest time, than a plant where you did not do that. Somehow the plant reacts to being hurt by getting stronger and producing more! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO ABOVE TO SEE ME SUPER-CROP! 😎 I also took a video ONE DAY after the procedure (on DAY 49), in order to show how resilient the plant is and how much she immediately repairs herself. Already then the main top has turned and points upwards to the light again, ITS FANTASTIC TO SEE! Simply a miracle plant...

Unfortunately, the plants have numerous leaves which look unhealthy (discolored, droopy, crispy/decayed). I removed the 3-4 worst looking leaves from each plant every other day, although I know that can be harmful to autos. Started adding in "Sensi Cal" this week to hopefully rebound from potential mineral deficiencies. Still using Recharge microbes once a week. Nutrients are now being administered accurately and at 1/4 the recommended level. Despite the unhealthy state of the plants, the pre-flowering bud sites look pretty good to me. I'm happy to see healthy looking pistils. Needless to say, I'm very eager to get these girls back on track and looking vibrant and verdant ASAP.

🌼 Week 1: Flower Power Unleashed! 🙌 The excitement is palpable—it's the first week of Flower! 🌸 Our girls are ready to dazzle as it steps into this vibrant phase. Remarkable Stretch: Hold on tight, because the stretch is in full swing! 🚀 Our green companions are reaching for the skies, displaying a wild surge of growth. Brace yourself, as the promise of doubling in size during Flower unveils a spectacle in the making. Strategic Scrogging: To tame the exuberant growth, a well-timed second Scrog at day 7 is in play, orchestrating the dance of foliage. It's a symphony of green, ensuring that our Lemon Orange beauties grow with grace and control. Nutrient Management: The week kicks off with a refreshing flush, bidding farewell to the old nutrients and welcoming a new chapter. From the second day onward, a mindful approach unfolds, with 80% of the recommended nutrients by Terra Aquatica. It's a delicate balance, nurturing the plants with the perfect blend for optimal growth.

Every thing is looking great. I didn’t get rid of all the nats but I got most I’ve been bottom watering and been replacing the sticky pad every couple days and it’s been working well. Thank god my wife talked me into these pots at the dollar tree. I can’t wait to see what’s next

wow wow !!!! 404 gr ! from the suitcase!!!!!!!258 gr of wet dried buds!!!!!!! I am impressed with the result, and I don't really believe that I will ever be able to improve it :) It was a truly amazing journey with FastBuds Gorilla cookies auto, my house is filled with a wonderful sweet smell, the buds look really full and very very shiny :) I also collected a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash:) the girl coped with high temperatures and high humidity throughout her growth, which is why I was afraid of rot, but everything went well!!!! She is amazing. smoke review and dry weight will be up very soon, good luck to everyone :)!!!

420 Fastbuds FBT2306 Week 5 These two have gone into flower absolutely amazing. The flower sites are showing up beautifully. Over all haven't done much on these besides giving another defoliation and lollipoped them taking off the lower nodes. Should allow them plenty of light through flower and air to prevent moisture build up at pot level. All in all Happy Growing

Blätter werden immer gelber 🤯 Bekomme es nicht in den Griff !! Der nächste Grow auf jeden Fall mit ec und ph Überwachung und strickt nach Düngerplan!! Temperaturen gehen auf 26-29 grad 24/0 Licht eventuell zu viel /: Nährstoffe 🤯 Die Einzelnen Zweige hab ich mit bodenanker und Schnur auseinander gezogen damit sie nicht zu dicht sind und sich gegenseitig das Licht wegnehmen ..

Try to don't stress, after topping, before cut a big leaves. It's my sixth one, and it's worked for every other. This light is just Super for a one or two plants.

Looks like she'll be growing some serious leaves, some solar panels to soak up all that light. She'll be staying indoors just incase the Blueberry OG ends up being an outdoor male.
