Sun's Out, Slungs Out—And a Total Glow-Up! We’ve officially hit Week 3, and what a difference a bit of sunshine makes! The sun finally broke through over the last couple of days, and the response from the plants was instant. They took a massive leap forward in growth. Since she’s getting bigger, I started LST (Low Stress Training) to open up her canopy, and she's taking to it nicely (check out the pictures!). Feeding remains simple: just straight tap water for now, saving the extra nutrients for the upcoming stretch into bloom. I also treated her to a preventative misting of neem oil solution yesterday just to keep her safe and clean. Appearance: Remember how I mentioned she was looking a bit pale at the beginning? Well, she’s had a total glow-up! Since settling into the big pot and soaking up that real sunlight, her leaves have turned a much darker green. She looks incredibly healthy and vibrant right now, and I couldn't be happier with her progress. Don't forget to swing by the Black Orchid Auto diary to see her unique, dark foliage! May the green thumb be with you 💚

6/5 Looking good so far. Growing at night even!

Day 22: Started on LST today. For the first time ever I removed 1or 2 of the big fan leaves before bending the plant over. These leaves would have become trapped under the plant so i would be removing them later anyway so I thought it would be easier to do so beforehand. I also removed the first pair of nodes after the cotyledon. To reduce the risk slowing down or stunting growth I done this bit of defoliation under a very dim light, half way through the 6 hour lights out night schedule when all the plants hormones would have been returned to the roots.. Day23: Continued with more LST pinning down branches. Day 24: Small bit more LST toady and also moved plant from the veg space with CFL’s to the main grow space in under the LED lights. There’s a good few pistils starting to show. Day 25: Watered with light dose of nutrients (1m G). Took around 3 litres. Day 27: Removed the biggest low down fan leaf. Day 28: Removed one more big fan leaf but in the process accidentally removed a branch also. Mr.Nelson was pretty pissed. But you know what they say “What doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger”. Han suggested I don’t use that phrase with Mr.Nelson.

Veg week 4 - Everything is growing well! I picked the biggest plant and tagged it, hopefully she's female!!

Finally harvest week has arrived. The trichomes are mostly cloudy, There is even an amber one here and there, on some good old sugar leaves.

Good week of growth. Bud sites are starting to come together. Brooke is still really close to light, will see what happens. Bent branches are doing well. 10-2 Buds are starting to look like buds. Got first good photos of forming colas.

This plant grew small and compact about 2 feet tall. The plant with the most trichomes was heavily cropped before flowering began. She’s very earthy with a hint of lemon, and probably the fastest maturing strain of grown yet.

Started a little training, cut down the older fan leaves and topped up. I’m adding a tiny bit of root stimulator cause changed the pot size last week so it will to promote a faster growth. Gotta keep this lady low cause the box is quite small. So excited 😆

I ended up over watering while flushing from the nute burn, as i finished the flush i did a calmag feed and my deficiency got worse. Not sure what’s going on here!! But buds are stacking nicely and getting dense. The tall plant looks to be a week or 2 ahead of the bushy plant

These girls are progressing absolutely beautifully. I'm excited to see as it looks like there might be a purple pheno as I've never had that one grow before. No issues and the flowers are getting bigger daily. I did a defoliation and lollipopped up to maybe the 2nd-3rd node. All in all Happy Growing.

Flower Week 5 Day 35 to 41 - 3/19 to 3/25 Got behind on my attention to these this week. That combined with their age in maturity, they really show stress this week. Feed this week was 1.25 gallons 1 time this week and they suffered because of it. 700ppm total before add-ins. I used 700ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). Then I added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) PH balance this week was 6.5 again. I plan to feed 1.25gal next week with 6.6ph. However starting this week I will be starting a flush cycle of half ppms at about 400 and also decided that I will not be using HP2 - final defoliation will happen as well

Tangerine dream auto from Weed Seed Express grew really well. I had some ph issues in flowering with trying to keep up with her diet. Is a great smelling flower. Should have a strong couch lock effect. I grew it a about a week longer then I should. I am totally OK with that as well. Thank you Viparspectra, and Weed Seed Express. 🌱🤜🤛🌱 There is a harvest video on my YouTube channel as well from a in hand perspective. Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. Happy growing everyone 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Day 43 -23/01/22 looking good 👍

This week went well no real problems besides underestimating the amount of water I would need to prepare following the transplant. I’m noticing some older leaves showing some curling at the tips especially on the second pheno, I’m going to let it ride for the next week as it could be attributed to the transplant although the signs point to n tox I’m using slow release dry amendments as directed I don’t think this is the case. I may add the trellis net next week if the second pheno can catch up in heigh.

Hola a todos! Bueno llego el corte, dia 84. La planta ha quedado baja, pero con unos buenos cogollos, bien compactos. Así que ahora a secar y esperar para catar esa delicia.🤪🤪🤪🙌🙌🙌🤩🤩🤩🤩

Added a second plan to my grow diary because I think she’s more interesting then the dwarf
