So this week the plants streched like crazy, the NL started to flower too and has actually become taller then the other 2 plants, even though its technically 2 weeks behind. the strange thing is its way more spacious then the packed Diesel.... it'll be fun seeing how they match up in the end! My new fan and dehumidifier solved the RH issue I had and I crushed it down to under 50% now! Things are looking like they're on the right track.....fingers crossed! I wonder if there is anything else I can add , nutrient wise... i know I shouldn't overdo it but I'll play around a bit and see. Got rid of most bigger and medium fan leaves that i felt were blocking the bud-sites from getting light...again, not sure about if I'm going about this the right way, seems counter-intuitive to get rid of so much green but hey ...it helps greatly with lowering humidity and keeps the bottom of the girls nice and ventilated. I actually took off a bit more because it keeps growing shut. Update: got some big bud and overdrive from my local grow shop... I'll give it a try...

I THINK THEY ARE DONE STRETCHING. GDP 1 IS 27.5 INCHES TALL. THATS BEEN HER HEIGHT FOR AT LEAST TWO DAYS NOW. GDP 2 IS 18.5 INCHESS TALL. #2 IS IN A 3 GALLON POT, I THINK THATS WHY SHE IS SO MUCH SMALLER. COULD ALSO JUST BE GENETICS. DAY 43. DAY 44: EACH PLANT HAS STRETCHED ANOTHER INCH. GDP 1 IS 28.5 AND GDP 2 IS JUST UNDER 20 INCHES TALL. NOT TOO BAD. LETS SEE IF THEY STRETCH ANYMORE. ITS SLOWED OVER THE PAST COUPLE DAYS FOR SURE. DAY 45: ADDED ENHANCEMENT PUCKS FOR FLOWER. 1 PHOTO RED FLOWER BOOSTER. 1 UVA TRICHOME BOOSTER. DAY 48: GDP 1 IS 30IN TALL TODAY. GDP 2 IS 20.5 INCHES TALL. BOTH PLANTS APPEAR HAPPY AND HEALTHY. LEAVING THE UVA TRICH BOOSTER LIGHT ON FOR THREE HOURS AT A TIME. DAY 49: GDP 1 STILL 30IN TALL. GDP 2 CLOSER TO 21 INCHES BUT NOT QUITE THERE.

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos y también a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾👍 Este diario es un relato semanal de técnicas, experiencias de cultivo y Bio preparados orgánicos caseros, los cuales llevo experimentando dos años en cultivos de marihuana interior. Esta semana LACTO FERMENTOS DE FRUTAS Y MINERALES... Esta práctica la realicé el 02 de Julio de 2020, preparé 10 litros, en dos fórmulas distintas, en una de ellas incidí en el nitrógeno (crecimiento vegetativo), en la otra en el fósforo y el potasio (Floración), esto lo hice, seleccionando para cada fórmula, frutas o componentes orgánicos con mayor concentración de los macronutrientes que quería para cada preparado, aún así, ambas fórmulas poseen todas las propiedades (Vitaminas, enzimas, minerales, nutrientes...) que se encuentran en cada una de las frutas que usé. Llevo aplicando estos preparados desde entonces, dan un resultado excelente en riegos, pero sobre todo en aplicaciones foliares, en realidad se comporta como un Bio estimulante de cultivos. Aunque en estas fórmulas usé otros ingredientes, como guanos, sangre seca, harina de pescado y minerales variados, cuando las repita usaré exclusivamente frutas, porque ya hago lacto fermentos especializados de guanos, harinas o minerales. De esta manera también favorezco la fermentación. Los lacto fermentos anaeróbicos, son los preparados más asequibles y fáciles de realizar, se basan en el poder que tienen el ácido láctico y las Bacterias ácido lácticas contenidas en el suero de leche, para disolver los nutrientes o el quelato de los minerales, son particularmente eficientes en la disolución del fósforo. INGREDIENTES: Agua pura 1000ml Suero de leche 1000ml (se puede usar más cantidad, he incluso sustituir el agua por suero.) Melaza: 125g Levadura fresca: 12g. FRUTAS Y HORTALIZAS (hasta el 20% del volumen de líquido) Paraguayo, Aguacate, Ajos, Albaricoque, Kiwi, Melocotón, Melón, Papaya, Piña, Plátano, Mango, Mandarina, Zanahoria, Calabaza, Cebolla, Naranja, Manzana. - Destacar el kiwi, la piña y la papaya por su contenido en enzimas (actinidina, papaina, bromelia), estas enzimas tienen el poder de romper la proteína y convertirla en aminoácidos, yo preparo una fórmula específica para hacer esta conversión mediante Hidrólisis Enzimática, de proteínas, otro día hablaré de esa técnica, una de las que más esfuerzo me ha costado, pero hoy, esos aminoácidos son fundamentales en mis cultivos. - Destacar también, el plátano y el aguacate por su alto contenido en Potasio. - La calabaza y la zanahoria aportan varios tipos de vitaminas ( C, E, B6, B3, B2, B1, A (betacaroteno), B9 y ácido fólico) - Y en todas las frutas hay diversas cantidades de otros macro y micro nutrientes (Ca, Mg, P, Fe, etc.) Además, el alto contenido en todas las frutas de azúcares naturales, hicieron que la fermentación del preparado fuera muy violenta y se extendió por más de 30 días. PROCEDIMIENTO: Se disuelve la melaza en el suero de leche. Trituro las frutas y hortalizas, para una mejor disolución. Añado levadura fresca a la mezcla se suero y melaza, caliento a 30° y espero media hora. Añado las frutas trituradas al barril, lo mezclo con el suero, añado agua hasta completar. Cierro el barril herméticamente con válvula de gases. Espero al menos 30 días antes de usarlo. Yo lo uso, del 1 al 3%, en riegos y aplicaciones foliares en la etapa de crecimiento vegetativo. Hasta la próxima semana... SALUDOS, SALUD Y GRANDES COSECHAS A TODOS!! 😁👨‍🌾💧💦🌞💡 ================================= 🙄👇👌👍👉👉🖐️👨‍🌾👍👈👈👈🤜👌🙏👇🤩🖐️🏻

The drying process lasted 14 days and I'm in the 2nd week of curing, I've already tried some buds and neither the smell nor the taste are great, the taste and smell of both phenotypes is lemon.

Day 22: Well we made it to the beginning of week 4! Who would of thunk! So we are starting week 4 on a good foot. No issues at this time and growing really well. Still such a squat plant. The nodes spacing is only like a half inch apart. WTH 🤷‍♂️🏻 Other than that the PH in my reservoir is dropping, usually it rises a bit everyday. I will have to remedy that before my midday feeding. I mean it was at 5.85-5.9PH so not out of whack but I was hoping for a drift of 5.9-61ish before I had to do a top off or change of the solution. Did some more light LST and leaf tucking last night before bed and will probably have to do more this afternoon. Day 23: River and Clara are growing really fast now. However I did notice the darkening of some of the new growth tips and a potential N burn. I believe this to be from a faulty PH tester I bought from nutetools dot com. Junk! So back to my old cheap meter. I will have to empty and clean out my reservoir today and make some more sauce for my plants so that I know it is PH’d correctly. What a pain in the ass. I am going to have a chat with them this afternoon for perhaps a replacement. Other than that onward and upward. Day 24: Not a whole lot to say today. Filled the reservoir yesterday. Sat and tried to figure out how to LST these super squat plants. I am thinking a couple haircuts are in order today. I think this will be beneficial to the little bud site that are partiallly blocked, but also for me to see what the structure looks like to get a better idea what I am working with 🤪 I am also thinking of upping my watering schedule to 4 times a day during lights on. I feel they are starting to drink a lot more and are probably just about to go into flowering mode. Day 24 Update: So I took the plunge and did some major defoliation and retied up all the LST work I did previously. They look so pissed off at me now… lmao. 🤬 You can see the before pics in my previous post from this morning. Also posting pics of how tiny my node spacing is.. Day 25 06/25/2021 - Today should be pretty hands off. Just letting them do their thing after the harsh treatment they got from me yesterday. (Defoliation and LST). I’m assuming they will need a couple days to recover, but, I will say they do look a bit less pissed off today than yesterday. Still no signs of sex. the tops are a nice bright green and the leaves are starting to deform like it really wants to flower. Hopefully, I didn’t screw it up by defoliating. The wait for flower continues. Day 26: These plants have bounced back awesomely after my heavy handed defoliation and LST. Putting on an inch a day and growing faster by the minute. They must have loved my nutrient ratio last feeding. I am going to do the same mix again today to refill the reservoir. Speaking of reservoir and watering… I think I am watering a bit munch per feeding as I am going through 5-6 gallons every 2-3 days for two plants. So I think today I am going to finally go to a 4 feed per day schedule and drop the time from 1min 10secs to 50secs or so. They should realistically only be getting a gallon a day a piece and still get good runoff to avoid any salt buildup. Have a 4inch and 6inch stretch a scrog nets ordered as well. Other than all that I think this first grow is going great so far! Day 27: Another day of mostly hands off and just watching the stretch. If my scrog nets come today I will hang the first one and that is about it today. Last night however, I did find a few pistils on Clara the smaller of the two and the no longer late bloomer. I also got my new Milwaukee MW804 4in1 ph/ec/tds/temp pen. Excited to have a reliable testing tool. One more grow day in the books! Cheers! Day 28: Well last day of week four. I was really hoping it would have started flowering by now, but we will hope for week 5. I got my scrog nets late yesterday afternoon and I put the first 4” net up. As you can probably see by the pics I really have no clue what I am doing. Also these plants are so so squat and compact I almost wish I had a 2” net. But, I think they are in stretch mode so we will see how that might effect my ability to a rig these a bit better. My plans for today are to do a quick clean and rinse of the reservoir and refill with a new batch of mutes I mixed up in the middle of the night last night. Then just let them grow I suppose. Not much else for me to do. 🤷‍♂️🏻Now on to week 5 tomorrow and continue to have a good grow. Cheers! 🥃

Welcome to week 3 of my grow diary. Since the plant has grown really well, I decided to top it. I made the cut above node 3. I usually do it above node 2, but I wanted to try something new this time and gain some new experience. Maybe it will work better this way than usual. In addition, I will now just let the plant grow without LST. If it is really necessary, I may decide to do it. At the end of the week, it had reached a height of 14 cm. There was no growth stoppage at all after topping. The Sour Jealousy seems really robust. FastBuds always delivers great quality. So far, I've only had one plant that remained a dwarf due to topping. So big shoutout to the breeder! See you next week

Seed was put in a glass of water on the 2nd of January 20:00 (8PM). Around 15h later it sunk to the bottom and I transferred it to a wet paper towel inside a zip. Around 51h later (so ~36h inside zip) the seed had not yet opened. I am a little worried, but at the same time not because I've looked up what the pro's say and some of them don't even look at the seed until after the seed has spent at least 48h inside the paper towel. I will be patient and wait for the seed to open. After the seed has opened I will be even more patient and let the root grow for a bit. I have grown 2 of these plants in my lifetime and first time was really good, second time was very bad, and the second time I planted it when the root was ~1mm long. I will not rush things this time. I will also be careful to not let the root grow too long. If I'll have it my way, then I'll be planting this baby tomorrow evening, so in a bit less than 24h from now. If I have to reschedule then it will probably be planted on the 6th of January. Worst case scenario: We have to restart with a new seed. Bless you. Update 5 Jan 2022 17:29 (05:29 PM): We have a root! The seed has opened ever so slightly and the root has grown more and more during today. I want the root to grow a tiny bit longer before I plant it. I will take another look before bedtime. Update 5 Jan 2022 20:43 (08:43 PM): Root has not grown much since the last picture, will plant tomorrow. Update 6 Jan 2022 10:05 (10:05 AM): Will plant later. Root is too short. Update 6 Jan 2022 15:00 (03:00 PM): Root is still shorter than I had in mind but my patience has ran out and I think it is still a fine length for the seed to do really good. I also have very good soil for her with claimed great amount of nutrients for seedlings. When it gets large enough I will transplant her to a 11L pot. The 11L pot has been filled with more than 11L soil. Probably around 15L. By the way, the plant has a name, her name is "Satan" but is referred to as a "she". Update 12 Jan 2022 18:00 (06:00 PM): We have a sprout! I saw the sprout some hours ago. I am sure that I planted the seed quite perfectly in the middle. However, the sprout happened very much to the side. I suspect that there was something in the soil that might blocked the sprout. So far it looks like we planted Satan on the 6th of January and we got a sprout on the 12th. I will consider Satan to be in germination stage until it grows a little more. Then I will treat it like she's in the vegetative phase. ----------------------------- SUMMARY: Day 1-21 in Satans life has been so wonderful. Not a minute goes by without me feeling euphoric about her. Every day when I wake up I go to the grow-room and tell her good morning. I hold her largest leaf between my thumb and index-fingers to hold leaf (hold hand) and we just hold leaf together for a few seconds while I admire her beauty. She is so absolutely gorgeous and kind and she is also very happy with her environment. I already have another plant in another grow-room which also is a Northern Lights and I have kept a diary of her as well, just not on growdiaries.com (everything is kept in a Word-document). This other plant is called Kim, named after Kim Jong-Un. Kim and her diary is going to be utilized as a "roadmap" for Satan, so I should know what to expect and when to expect it. I also did a few mistakes with Kim, such as water too much or let her grow with way too much nitrogen in the air. Satan will instead be the best grow I have ever done - hopefully. I thank you all for reading and joining me on this adventure. Kim and Satan says hello!

I will call this the 2nd annual Polar Express grow. Really happy with the result of the grow over all. She did 3 days dark before I chopped her. I put her into dry whole, a little slower drying time. I'm hoping for a good solid couple oz from this harvest. The first tile I ever grew was this strain, the stress of the first grow was really unwarranted. If you are looking for a first grow strain, Polar Express from Auto Seeds should be on your list. 2.3 OZ trimmed , pretty happy over all.

Willkommen in Woche 10: Die letzte und diese Woche waren furchtbar nass. Ich hab die Kleine nach jedem Regen geschüttelt trieb um trieb also richtig umtriebig… Heute (tag4) habe ich sie wieder nach dem Regen geschüttelt. Dabei ist leider die hauptblüte abgebrochen… naja halb so wild…die Apple of Eden neben dran wurde gestern schon panisch aus Angst vor Schimmel geerntet. Da hab die Blüte kurz getrimmt und dazu gehängt. Die Durban poison wirkt recht robust gegen Schimmel.. bin mal gespannt wie es weitergeht.

La pequeña gorila sigue fabricando pistilos y sus tricomas siguen transparentes, con lo cual la dejaremos alguna semanas mas para ir viendo el proceso. Los cogollos están realmente prensados y tiene un fuerte olor a cítricos 🔥 muy muy pegajosos Con ganas de terminar esta maravilla para poder fumarla 👌

pungent odour, full of ditricomas, even the sugar leaves, I think it is a genetic that is well suited to concentrates or extractions
