February 23, 2021 (Week 7, Day 50, Flower 1): It's the first day of flower! The plants slept for 12 hours last night and will keep that up until harvest. Still seeing pretty crazy growth even for the 12 hours of darkness they went through. Grew about another .5". Excited to see how much these things stretch. Soil was very dry this morning so I watered with 4l of water per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml Cal-Mag Plus + 1/4 tsp/gal Humboldt Nutrients Big Up Flower Powder with a pH of 5.8. Runoff pH of 6.3. I will start watering with a 6.0 solution going forward. I also top dressed with about an inch of fresh Roots Organics Lush soil. Plants are looking great. Not seeing any problems currently. I'll keep a close eye on them as they transition. Turned down humidity another 5% today. Averaging 50% rH and 73℉.
February 24, 2021 (Week 7, Day 51, Flower 2): Plants look great. Soil still moist from watering. Tilled half inch of topsoil. Averaging 50% rH and 73℉. Nothing else for today.
February 25, 2021 (Week 7, Day 52, Flower 3): No complaints at all. These plants are as healthy as they can be from what I can tell. The growth sites are starting to do some funky stuff and everything is kind of starting to "clump" together. Really interesting to watch this process happen, as I've always wondered exactly how the buds begin to form. I was greeted with a very sweet smell when I opened my tent this morning, nothing strong yet. To encourage further vertical growth I've removed all LST ties except for two from Gelato 1 and Unknown 2. I adjusted the ties on Unknown 1 because it's already starting to stretch and I need it to slow down just a bit while the others catch up. Soil is semi-moist this morning but the pots are still pretty heavy, so I'll water in a day or two. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉.
February 26, 2021 (Week 7, Day 53, Flower 4): Pots were light today so watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml Cal-Mag Plus at 6.0 pH. Runoff sitting at 6.4 pH. Defoliated one more node on each growth stem - the lollipop look is coming around. It will probably be my last defoliation like this. From now on I'll only pluck fan leaves that get in the way of bud sites. Unknown 1 grew over 2" in the last 24 hours. The stretch is getting real. I removed all remaining LST ties from Gelato 1 and Unknown 2. I redid the LST ties on Unknown 1 in an attempt to control its growth, but at this point I feel like it's just going to be a lanky plant and there's nothing I can do about it. I'll do my best to keep them as level as I can. Also, I took off Unknown 2's stem cast today and it healed really, really well. I have never seen a plant do this, but it filled itself in with tissue that is soft to the touch, and there's only a slight split at the top. It's looking really great. My wife noticed the smell of the plants this morning for the first time - so that's a good sign! Plants are starting to put off a lot of their own humidity, so I haven't refilled my humidifier in days. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. Happy Friday everyone! 👻
February 27, 2021 (Week 7, Day 54, Flower 5): Soil is still moist - tilled half inch of topsoil. Overnight it appears Gelato 1 and Unknown 2 are doing their damnedest to catch up with Unknown 1 - they both grew about 2". Plants are looking great and are definitely starting to stretch! Averaging 50% rH and 70℉.
February 28, 2021 (Week 7, Day 55, Flower 6): Top soil is pretty dry, but the pots are still heavy. I'll hold off watering for a day or two. The last 24-hour period I think I saw the biggest difference in the plants so far. Each growth stem stretched a ton on each plant, but at varying degrees. The canopy is suddenly uneven, but I think trying to keep everything even at this point will be futile. I will let them go and install the SCROG net soon if the colas start growing too differently from one another. The stipules on every plant tripled in length overnight so I think the plants are definitely getting with the new 12-hour schedule. All the plants are starting to shoot off tons of pre-flowers and pistils now. They're in the swing of things now. Averaging 50% rH and 70℉.
March 1, 2021 (Week 7, Day 56, Flower 7): Soil is dry but pots still have some weight. Will probably water tomorrow. Plants are looking fantastic. Canopy is stretching all over the place. Averaging 50% rH and 70℉.
Looking forward to next week! Hopefully we'll start to see some flowers poking through soon!

Hello everybody,
were very proud to present our new grow to you. We just started three weeks ago and we are very happy, everthing is fine with our beautiful plants. Almost all are looking strong and healthy, but one of them had a taint on one of the leafes. It was there from the very first time, since birth ;-) you can see it on these pictures: *?*
Otherwise we are very satisfied and looking forward to all of your comments and your good advices!

Some mold formed on the rockwool, I rubbed a papel towel with alcohol. High umidity this week... I'm afraid of losing my plant.
The buds are getting big, I can notice a small odor of pine, it's gooooood!
I think there is some mildew forming too, so I sprayed neem oil. Let's see what's gonna happen

Looking good starting to fatten up now. Pistols browning. Still alot of clear trichomes. Start dragon force to help ripen phase for a week. Then flush and hopefully fade her out in good time!

Hello growers and welcome to week 6. I expect Queen Citronella to gain a lot of height this week.
I will be doing the measurements shortly, but first I wanted to share some news! Queen Citronella has a new home, she hasn't moved in yet, but I'm working on it today. I will also be rearranging all the other grows and starting some new things off! I am not sure if I have mentioned it anywhere but I am using a 1.2m x 1.2.m x 1.8m tent.. I have just got a 60cm x 60cm x 140cm tent and a 300w LED. Her Majesty I hope will enjoy her new quarters.
Day 36: I have lowered the light to 30cm above the tallest plants.
Day 37: It is done! Queen Citronella resides in her own palace, while the rest of the plebs squat together in the communal living area. I have reorganised and moved my 4x4, mounting the carbon filter and duct fan properly in the center. Setup a 2 x 2 with a 300w LED and put the lights for both tents on the same timer (for now). I will measure and photograph Her Majesty a little later, including photos of her new home.
Day 37: Added media. Height: 31cm. Fertigated 2l.
Day 37.5: Alright she is really stretching fast, she grew almost 5cm in a little over 30 hours, A thought has just occurred to me; I could, if I chose to, put the Queen on a flower cycle at this point. Now I did want to do a full grow of clones, however we're talking something like another 2 weeks of veg then 2 weeks for cuttings to root, then I'd want to veg them for a few more weeks, maybe 2, 3 or 4? So that's 6-10 weeks before I start flowering. Then at least ten weeks of flowering, A week to dry, and at least a fortnight to cure. We're talking 20-25 weeks before I get to smoke it, that's six months! I probably wont be able to grow in the summer due to the heat. Now I already have the one cutting which I am hoping will root soon, which I can take forward, but I also have two more seeds. So, regretfully, I think I will change my plans. I will flower queen Citronella, starting on day 43. I still intend to do a full tent of Super Lemon Haze clones, but I think I will postpone that adventure until September.
So this is now the final week or final five days of veg, she will spend the bulk of her last week of veg under a different light. We wont get much data on vegging (unless there is a significant change this week) but it'll be a nice trial run flowering with an LED light for the first time.
Exciting!
I am still waiting for the Epislon F1 seeds from RQS. I set their pot up today, inoculated, fed, and sowed some Dark Opal (Purple) Greek Basil and a liberal sprinkling of chamomile. I am going to germinate all five seeds in jiffy pellets and then put them all in the same 40l
Day 38: I have realised Her Majesty was too tall to flower in this little tent so I snapped her neck a bit.
I installed a photometer app yesterday and discovered I was blasting Citronella with 75 DLI so I raised to light up until canopy level was 40 DLI. The LED is pretty good. The HPS Dual Spectrum bulb in the main tent must be on its last legs as output was around 40 DLI for optimally positioned plants and 30 least optionally positioned. I could do to buy a new bulb. Identical replacement is about fifteen bucks, best one is about fifty. For that I could get another one of those LEDs which seems like better value. At the moment though I really need the heat. So I am thinking identical replacement.
4 days to flower cycle!
Day 38.5: Replaced crappy old Dutch barn reflector with a much nicer angel wing model. Installed a significantly larger carbon filter into the main tent which has significantly increased air flow. The main tent vents into the bottom of Queen Citronella's tent, and from there and unfiltered duct fan in the far top corner exhausts it out. The exhaust pipe goes up the chimney. Why have I reorganised and moved the tents again so soon is because I was wasting power heating the little tent with the LED light, but the main tent has excess heat. Well this setup is working a treat. Citronella is sitting in a balmy 23-24 degree wind tunnel.
Check out the little video of the changes.
Day 39: I think her majesty likes her new quarters. It's going to be weird seeing her square in a few more days. We are 2 days into a "dry spell" I'm simulating for all my plants.
Day 40: Dry spell ended. Fertigated 6l.
Day 41: Fertigated 3l. Citronella's penultimate day of veg, she is going 12/12 from lights out after next. Photos taken 10:00 9/2/23. Current lights out is Citronella's last 6 hour night!
Day 42: Start: Have performed pre-flower LST, HST, and defoliation. 24 hours to flower cycle.
Day 42: End: photographed immediately before first 12h night.
End of week summary: Huge week for Citronella. I think this LED light is pretty good. Change of plans regarding the grow and preparing her for flower. Let's see how she does.

This week has been a breeze. Simply watered at 6.5, kept the humidity at 65%, and increased the power of my light to about 70%. Also made a tea with Roots Organic Terp Tea Grow, and watered it down 1 -4 tea to water. Even with diluting the tea, the plants showed a little burn, so I’m holding off on ferts til next week. All are looking great, besides the one LSD25 that is off to a slow start.

Beginning of week..
I did remove a few fan leaves.. I also only adjusted the very top branches.. The very lowest branches are completely untied and have only had some HST but recovered a little too well.. The stems have straightened back out and are all knotted up.. Damnit.. Same issue I faced in my last grow.. I should just stop being lazy and tie all the damn branches down.. But all this week I will be adding more training.. Kinda slowly.. Not for any reason, other than it takes a while and I need to make time for it all lol.. It should get done in the next 2 - 3 days and she should be ready for her next photoshoot (mid week pics)! Went ahead and added in some FloraBloom.. She wasn't getting much P.. So I pee'd on her LMAO im just kidding.. Just adding a half dose of FloraBloom to take care of the P issue.. I need to start watering/feeding daily.. She seems to be drinking quite a bit more.. Which would make perfect sense duh! Lol
Next day...
Went ahead and adjusted 4 branches.. Tying down the bottom 2 that were left untied.. Now she is all tied down lol... Looking flat as fuck! I love it! One branch was beginning to crack.. So I eased up on it.. But still bent the very top of that stem down a little.. So the lower branches should still be able to catch up.. She is going to be a seriously gorgeous, thick bush lol
Mid week..
Doing good.. Still just watering, feeding, watering, feeding, etc.. What I do is I feed one day, wait 2 days and water, then feed again the next day.. Then wait 2 days and water.. The point of doing that is so she has more days of nutes than with less nutes.. Idk.. Just my take on it.. She is becoming such a gorgeous bush!
End of week..
She is getting so bushy. Going to have to flip to 12/12 tomorrow and also put her in a 2'×2'×5 CoolGrows tent.. This is not what I wanted to do.. But this is a last minute decision.. Hope it works out still

Plucked a few leaves that were looking at me funny ;) Not much to do!
Smells of sweet berries, after a fresh rainfall.. Smells amazing!
Watered with 2.5 gallons of the above listed nutrients, every 5-6 days. (when the soil becomes 95% dry)
10% of the solution watered runs out the bottom of the pot, and is removed with a wet-vacuum.
