Feb 19th,
- week 9 of flower sees a lot of subtle changes going on. The smell at the door is one, and it’s becoming a very dense and dark odour. Fruit-like up close.
- Molasses doubled as root boosters get removed and Calimg has only 1 feed left, tonight.
- Mar 1 is the tentative flush, first day of week 11 in flower.
Those will be a long couple of weeks, feeding h20 & sugar only
- noticing the stems of Fan leaves are turning Red/Crimson on L plant. A few are in the R as well.
** question asked about Red Stems **
23rd
- noticing a definite increase in the Trichomes of the Buds, under the UVB (pics tonight).
There are simply more now and it’s kinda obvious when side by side. Lite spill from uvb is falling on the left plant as well, but not from 14”
- feed tonite will include a bit of CaliMag once again moving forward and a lingering taste of Medi-One.
- Trichomes were checked today. As happy as I was to see a few Amber ones. They were very wide-spread with most of the others still 50/50 clear and cloudy.
- Based on todays Trichome check; hoping to flush ~ Mar 7 now. That will be the end of 11 complete weeks of Flower. FYI: Breeders expectation "11-12” weeks. Happy to see it linger a bit, diet, humidity and lighting changes have been incremental throughout. How quickly the next changes happen ie: clear to cloudy etc., I have no idea.
Would love to see ~ 10% Amber, just enough to say it’s Very ripe. ( Not in any way thinking of couch-lock lol )
- literature & product labels on Humic Acid recommend usage throughout Veg & Flower... just Not the last 3 weeks. That rules this batch out... So the next batch(s) get introduced.
- Macro shots tonight of the Buds under the UVB... cannot wait.
** found 1 bud on the R plant, that had quite a bit of Amber showing. Nowhere to be seen in the L plant, but it looks like a high concentration of Cloudy Trichomes on the L regardless.
One more serious search tonight of the R plant and it may just be time for a rinse.
Surprised to see so many Ambers, alone on this one bud.
Pics uploaded ! re: 24th a.m.
Feb24th,
- when the lights came on this evening, I did another thorough check on both plants and there were more Amber trichomes found. Ready or not, both plants were Thoroughly flushed.
- Flush aid used in the process.
- 10 Litres of Water was mixed with Molasses / Rezin as the first liquids poured into the plants, after the Flush...
- when it came right down to it, the sudden appearance and then rapid spreading of the Amber Trichomes made it an easy call, to flush both plants.
Thoughts on the amount of white hairs left... they have a couple weeks to get their shit together... if I can get a couple weeks of flushing-in, that’s a definite bonus.
25th
- humidity spike in the Tent. doors are cracked and a floor fan has been added for extra air flow. Exhaust fan increased...
26th, no liquid to remove from the plants btm Trays, but still showing a high humidity. R.H. coming down slowly, aimed the fans at the fabric pots... doors cracked etc.
* why mess around, hooked up the dehumidifier... R.H. dropping, end of issue

Everything is going well , she hasnt lost too much due to my mistake of leaving the lights up higher then I was supposed too . Going to be alternating between voodoo/b52 and Opti A&B/CalMG for feedings I raised up the plant to the appropriate height from the lights now its time to let her go , I've also switched the lights to 12-12 so essentially she will be a 12-12 seed run as a test to see yeild .
Thanks to everyone that stops in and checks out the diary . A special thank you goes out to all my followers that stop in daily and weekly to check out the updates you guys are stellar keep rocking on !
-Happy Growing!

Blueberry Headband Grow Week 04 Flower Feb 29
In a state of transition. Started using 'Hygrozyme'. An enzyme that will supposedly keep my roots clean and root rot at bay. Wasn't quite the case. PH went up 10 fold and brown slime reappeared.
Rinsed the roots, added more Hygrozyme and a dose of Tarantula tea. 24 hours later, PH is up the same. No sign of rot.
RePHed and all is ok. Plants aren't blinking. Aroma is strong. Trichromes appeared last week and are everywhere, now! Little bundles of calyxes are all excited to pop out this coming week!
Think this will be a 'beginners luck' grow. Trying to be diligent.

Day 58 - As you can see, buds are looking full but still looking like they want to go a bit longer, checking the trichomes frequently and seeing a lot of cloudy.. think i saw the first few ambers too. Any how, we shall keep going. Flush time soon.
Day 62 - Looking good, smelling better.. really fruity and sweet. Seems ripe too. Feeds lowered and a little flush. Buds are rock hard, very dense and sticky. Looking forward to harvesting. She will be ready by day 63, but I'll see weather or not ill let her go longer. Stay tuned.
Day 64 - trichomes ready, little flush and shes ready for the chop. Beautiful smelling strain and easy to grow. Very hard dense gassy and sweet buds. Once dry and cure, will be back with a little update.

Real flowering started this week. The stretch just started and the crazy bushiness continues. Did some fairly heavy defoliation on the under canopy and select large leaves blocking light to the bud sights.... but controlling the growth is a balance. Trying to keep as much photosynthesis as possible until I can really tell which bud sites will be the real colas.
I did a full reservoir swap with flowering nutrients, and a pH balanced water only flush in between (about 18 hours just running pH 5.9 water). Once I put the new nutrient solution in, the plant just shot up. It was spectacular the difference in literally only half a day.
I have noticed that a thin coating of something was on the air line of the bubbler and a couple other surfaces. Cleaned it off before the water flush, but still note a very slight film on the top of the fresh nutrient solution. It's a touch worrying but not sure it's an issue. Will watch carefully.

Commencing Week 8: day 50 on January 19th
Update is late my sincerest apologies. I will make it up by giving a very thorough smoke report when all is done.
Otherwise all is going very well 😁😁👏👏
On day 50 I took the head off of bloody skunk.
I checked trichome colors under USB microscope. At least 90% fully milky-white with maybe 5 or 6% Amber and the remainder clear. 😁
On day 55 I gave all of the plants a fan leaf trim including the remaining bottom half of bloody skunk. as I sit here and think about it I believe this will help with ensuring the entire plant ripens and matures at the same time - versus the tops being ready before the bottoms.
I still plan on letting the bottoms of all these plants go way beyond the recommended time to see if I can initiate the process of rodelization. Either way I am glad to report that Bloody skunks pollenization looks like it is resulting in some seeds. (See photo). In hindsight my only concern is that because the plant finished a bit earlier than I expected the seeds may not make it to full maturity but I believe it should be okay we'll just have to wait and find out.
That being said besides the bloody skunk being done just a few days early everything else seems to be right on time as described in plant profiles on company websites.👍
That's all for now thank you for your patience and attention and support and as usual feel free to leave any suggestions comments or questions and I'll do my best to get back sooner rather than later 😁

She's growing! up to 7" now, i will take clones for outdoor season soon, so I topdress with blood meal I wouldn't usually be as aggressive but I want multiple clones for outdoor season going to be a big hit I think and I think she is heavy feeder? We will find out.

In the first week after switching to a 12/12 light cycle, I continued to train the plant, but I believe it'll be the last time. It already boasts 8 healthy-looking colas, which seems sufficient. Let's see how it progresses! 🌿😊

My Gorilla Cookies seedling is off to an amazing start! The stem is thick and sturdy, promising strong growth, and the leaves are already nice and wide, soaking up all the light. I'm excited to see how this one develops. The genetics on this strain are top-notch, so I've got high hopes for some seriously frosty buds down the line. Stay tuned for updates as this little lady grows!
The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this past week! We've been hitting that sweet spot of 70 degrees during the day, perfect for getting outside and soaking up some sun. Then, it cools down to a comfy 50 degrees at night, which is ideal for sleeping with the windows open. I've been loving all the fresh air!
I finally got around to building that little wooden planter for my windowsill. It was a fun project, and now my regular plants have a nice new home. It really brightens up the room, and I'm thinking of adding some herbs to it soon. Maybe I'll even try growing some basil!

MONDAY:
Taking all those cuttings last week seems to have really triggered her auxins, all branches are stretching, even the ones I cut from, but her main is reeeaaalllly stretching..
I think I'm gonna have to either top her or supercrop her. I've got to keep her height down so she isn't too much of a pain to deal with in a tent full of her little clones. this fall. Or maybe I'll just stick her in a closet somewhere and keep about 15 watts on her all winter long, then take some more cuttings to put outdoors? I wish I know for sure how well she smelled/tasted/intoxicated. I'd hate to learn she's a super-plant and not be able to grow her again...
WEDNESDAY:
I gave her a drink of water with bud candy and calimagic and started foliar feeding with Flower's Kiss.
THURSDAY:
I checked her clones today...4 have rooted very well and going into 3 gal pots tomorrow.
Foliar fed her and told her how beautiful she looks.
FRIDAY:
I gave her a gallon of grow nutes including Microbe Brew and also started her on Terpinator.
I planted 7 of her clones in 3 gallon (white) fabric pots today. They are sharing the 4 x 4 tent with the 6 x White Widow + 1 x Candy Cane seedlings for now.
SATURDAY:
I planted 7 of her clones today in 3 gallon (white) fabric pots.
I added two new blue/cold white LED panels to the 4 x 4 tent. They are kickass. Very low heat and excellent coverage. The 2 lights is overkill for this space, but I like it....a lot. So much so, that I will order 4 of them in 660nm deep red for flowering..two for the 4 x 4 and two for the 5 x 4.
I also bought and installed a 16' string of 300 Cold White (7000k)/Warm White (2800k) strip lights(150 each). It has a remote control which lets me change over to warm white for flowering...or have steady cold white and pulse warm white..or whatever. I think that they will serve as excellent low-heat side/corner lighting. Kinda pricey because in addition to the lights, you have to buy a controller and power supply, but they seem very effective.
I plan to order another set for the 4 x 4 tent. But, it's a double-row set (600 leds) ..one row of lights is warm white, and the other is RGB adjustable, so I can run 440nm blues for veg and 660nm reds for flower. I plan to keep them just below the canopy so as to illuminate the secondary and tertiary buds as much as possible.
Once this concept is proven (and once I save the money), I'll do the same thing in the 4 x 5 tent.
Update: Ok, so I've decided I'm only kinda happy with the strip lights..
I've decided to try velcroing 4 of those 4' integrated led tube lights in cold white for veg and warm white for flower to my horizontal poles. The cold white(6500k) are 2-rows of lights that pull 36w and put out 3000 lumens each and the warm white(2700) are single row pulling 24w at 2200 lumens each.

Supercropped, they are still recovering from a magnesium deficiency, really purple stems coming out of propagation tent, it also started to have a potassium deficiency but both were corrected with new growth taking off.
New reservoir has;
32 grams Calcium Nitrate
20 grams Jack’s Hydro
25 grams magnesium sulphate
100mL regen a root
50mL Mighty Growth Enhancer
75mL of Humic and Fulvic
Since writing, I realize I forgot to add 3% hydrogen peroxide USP ... I’ll add 250mL tomorrow...
pH is high at 6.5 atm
PPM is 1100

Alright guys so here's to last week
My first time doing sweet seeds
And I must say it was really awesome
Yo, I ran my first Cream Mandarine XL from sweet seed and at the very beginning thought she was going to die, she was sad and having it rough but with lots of caring she came back to life and even better, this is also one of the longest autos and the tallest I've had with many colas, Im still learning so I should probably train them better in the long run once I get to run another one, well if you look into my profile at my grow diary I'm running gorilla XL right now and I'm training her little by little, more precisely I'm making sure she's getting plenty of light so we don't waste any single spot of energy once she's got to bloom!!
But hey we keep talking bout cream Mandarine XL and it's sad to say goodbye but it's also her time, she's got to the point of no return and we've got to take her out
Thanks a lot for everything pretty girl
You rock and I love sweet seeds
Thanks a lot for those good good smokes
Sweet smokes to all of you running them genetics also thanks a lot to the whole community who supported me in the whole process I do appreciate it
Also thanks again sweet seeds Apollo for your support letting me run your genetics and given the opportunity to show the world my farming level
Hopefully with the great people around I will become better :')
Alright now time to harvest this girl
Peace and love brothers
