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

Did FIM topping and removed the lowest branches on day 16.
Started giving Bio grow with the hopes of lenghtening the veg period for bigger plants.
Foliar sprayed them with Jaakontaika.
They are recovering really fast from FIM topping ❤️

So this seed is a total mystery to me.
I found a loose and unlabelled seed container a while back 😭
She will be grown on 20/4 light and we will see in week 3~4~5 if she is an auto or not.
She is planted in a tiny 1 litre airpot, where she will stay throughout her life.
I have no idea what kind of plant to expect from this, so here we go!

----- WEEK 9 -----
----- Day 57 -----
Easy day of watching.
Just 1 pic today so far. not much reason to go downstairs to take a pic yet. Glookies is turning Purple on sugar and fan leaves now.
Harvest is very soon. I'd wager within 7 days now just going to depend on the High I get off tester nugs.
***Update***
I destroyed the trellis and took em out for some pics and vids.
Trichs = Tropicana is ready Tuesday, Wedding Cake probably Friday or within that weekend.
----- Day 58 -----
Last couple days.
Fed about 30ml of Cal/Mag and 30ml of Molasses.
Wanted to just keep the photosynthesis process and the plant in general alive for reveg. Was getting a bit too yellow for my liking.
Harvest soon.
----- Day 59 -----
Harvested Tropicanna Glookies today
Deleted this week by accident trying to make it a harvest week, so remade it.
Will add harvest week once plants are dry and tester has been smoked to give proper info
Put some more photos in. Basically the tent is 4 feet wide and the ruler is 12 inches long from bottom of duct tape
Really loving the colors of this plant.
------ Day 60 -----
Fed only the Wedding Cake - 5-10ml of Calimagic and 20ml of molasses (NO Liter level marked or PPM or PH, i could cut today its done but im just maturing the trichs)
Tropicanna Glookies is a friggin BEAUTIFUL strain.
Moved the Wedding Cake in the tent so largest nugs are furthest away from light and dropped light from 1000w to 600w to save electricity
Chop on Wedding Cake happens at mostly amber trichs. Prob 5-6 days max for that i'll know when I check trichs tonight and update with photo.
----- Day 61 -----
Wedding Cake is about 5% amber... so prob 6 days or so. Slow day today.
----- Day 62 -----
Feeding is today, going to just use some CaliMagic and Molasses again.
Trichs aren't golden yet, so not chop time ... 8-9 weeks is what it is supposed to take, but it's got at least another 5-8+ days until 30-40% amber trichs for Indica couch-lock effect to shine in the Wedding Cake.
Tropicanna could still be going right now, but I did not want more than 5-10% amber gold trichs to prevent a couch-lock effect. This has worked very well. On day 64 I will post a smoke report and full harvest/trim details as Saturday/Sunday is trimming. Will have dry weight results of Tropicanna (per plant, and as a whole).
Tropicanna being sent to lab for full analysis will post results when they arrive (Usually 2-3 weeks after sending sample via mail)
------ Day 63 ------
Nothing to talk about today, slow day. almost done.
*Update*
1 pic, i think it explains everything.

hello hello growers!
My dark phoenix makes me very happy with its growth and development .. this very peculiar bole is seen by its appearance and characteristic leaves ..
I think I understood why she was called a phoenix)) each tip of a branch where leaves have just recently blossomed, looks like a bird, like a phoenix) take a closer look at some of the photos, this is clearly a view))
chack the video)))

Swiched the light schedule to 12/12. I was planning to put a net in this week but I'll have to swich up the positioning to make it more efficient, as they're growing like crazy and I expect they'll at least double in size,

Yesterday I discovered that, in order to change my timer, I didn't put the clock back onto it. Now they had 3 hours more light on the third day of flowering. Exactly the kind of oopsies this grow really doesn't need.
But it happened and all back on a normal schedule, but I hope the OHS en GG4 aren't affected by it too much... One accidental re-vegging is more than enough for a year.
Also, these sensitive strains can hermie on me for lesser reasons so from now on I'll be checking for male signs daily.
The XTraKush is performing as advertised, with enormous stretch, these plants can go 10 ft up according to the breeder. So I'm tying them down and managing this to fill out the space.
With all the stuff going on, this 'underdog' strain might even prove most resilient, when all is said and done.
They seem to respond really well to the SP-3000 light and If you are in the market for a new light, consider this option from Mars Hydro.
Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me try it, it is a dream of a light. I compared it to my old light again and PAR values are not even in the same ballpark.
Thank you for checking my diary and taking the time to read my adventures!

This flowering week gave me some experience about watering because i used only hand watering method so i made a mistake when i watered in this week . some nutrient dropped upon some leaves of my banana daddy one (the second biggest of my babies). But i also experienced this on vegetative state so i can take care very well of my plants and they made a great start . Can't wait to see the flowers of my babies but i'm still trying to do another steps and to grow organic.

all 3 plants are the same strain from the same seed provider. I used Peet pellets for the first time and I am extremely disappointed. they all popped within 18 hrs, it was a promising start, but I think the webbing holding the pods together is constricting the roots on the plant to the left. there was a devastating transplant that had damaged some roots but the other 2 plants seem to be....ok
patience...
if you noticed I had a heating mat for about the first full month of growth, I live in an old apartment and we have old windows that don't hold the heat, I wanted the plants to grow and develop enough before I took it out of the room. this may have stunted growth for a few days this past week but I believe it was a must to keep the plants health... they were my last 3 seeds
SPIDER FARMER... I have had this light for under a year and was very lucky to get the adjustable dimmer when I did order it...its an incredible tool for growing and since we don't want light in the tent we can't have a digital readout showing power from the dimmer and this is why I got the "EVE SMART PLUG"... it works perfectly with the SPIDER FARMER light and will help me perfect my future grows.
SECRET JARDIN.... y'all need to do something about these loud 6" oscillating fans....I thought one was a fluke until I plugged the second in..... terrible, absolutely garbage...

11.07.
Rainbow Sherbet 1# Day 77#
Rainbow Sherbet 2#Day 75#
On rs2#, during the storms, one branch at the very bottom broke, it grew like this, I didn't want to tighten it, it will probably break already during the next storms, but nothing serious.
Today is the end of the eleventh week for the plants.
There were storms all week and with the fact that they spent almost the whole week under stress (they were also under heat stress a couple of days before), I am certainly satisfied with the progress.
On Tuesday, they were watered for the last time, with clean water, then it rained, and the next day it rained all day, since then they have not been watered, as soon as the soil dries I will feed them.
Below in the table is the food that they received last time, but it is included in this week, and I introduced that as well.
Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

The heat and humidity is crazy this week.... ac and dehumidifier... 😱
I have been trying to get low temps at night, the lowest coming in at 17.8 C. She usually sits around 22.2 C... Day time temps even with my ballast being able to dim, sit around 31.4 C without the AC, and 27.2 C with 👺
I do have outside air vent properly in/out... just a good old heat wave....
I was thinking that is was possible my last week, but the trichs are still mostly clear even though the white hairs are maturing...
Seems like Cindy sprouts new pistils everyday... I read that could be due to heat stress... which makes sense with the Heat Wave...😎
I am keeping an eye out for *bananas* since I also read that it is possible due to heat stres... don't want her herming out on me...
I'll let her go for another week then start looking to put her in darkness... not sure if I'm doing 36, 48, or 72 hrs darkness... or longer... 😵
Bam! 😜

These 3 Gelato auto are part of a 30 plant SOG project, in this diary we will only focus on this fantastic strain as you can see, this is Gelato auto by fast buds grown with nothing but FLO (living soil blend) mixed up with the soil and water 💦, let's see what type of flavors we are going to find! Stay tuned for this one! 👨🌾❤️💚

Great week overall, environment working very well and maintaining temp even on hot summer days - 33C outside!
Humidity is too high at night when the extractor switches off. Plug timer need to run from 10pm to 4am.
Reduced pump to 1 min fill as planned
Took reservoir from 22L to 17L to save chems and avoid spillage as roots grow. As they fill their pot I was finding progressively larger puddles every morning
Video of rootball and Flood and Drain in action
Scrog net finally arrived after being delayed in the mail by a month :D
Had a go at FIMing, waiting on results
Raised lamps by 5cm
Green leaves showing no signs of burn
Roots looking healthy and well developed
I keep getting too enthusiastic with the pH+ and always have to top-up with water to raise the level back. No more than 0.5ml needed at each test.
