Sheโ€™s a fast grower! Getting big quick. She is also getting natural sunlight in through the window when conditions are good. At 18 hrs on & 4 hrs. off, she is under a Phlizon ph2000 watt.

Ripening started way faster than anticipated and I started flushing the other Critical at day 46 and she looks like she might be ready at the end of the week.. BUT I'm going to send her all the way to couchlock heaven so I'll probably chop her at the same as the other one which I reckon will be receiving at least one more full-dose nutrient blast and around two weeks of flush but lets see.. I want her to be close to fully finished but not too many ambers since the other one will be majorly overcooked. Didn't put too much effort on this timelapse since my PC is hiccuping pretty darn hard trying to process the camera RAW files to video if I put some effects on them.. wonder why since I got a pretty solid rig with 5950X and 128GB of DDR4-3866 RAM.. damn shitbucket can't handle somewhere around 1.5-2GBps bitrate video realtime๐Ÿ˜‚

babyboom is really a strain that has nothing less to do with other types ... in fact here the quality of the buds and the thc is really fantastic, it grows well and lends itself to all types of techniques .. I'm experimenting with the outdoor because in indoor precedence in 60 days from the seeding of the seed there are 18% thc๐Ÿ’ช

I dropped the net down a little bit further. I believe I may need to grow more tops for this strain next time.. As well as they need to get much bigger before the flip.

The Mandarine Cream is entering its third week of flowering, and the aroma is becoming increasingly potent. The plant is looking beautiful and vigorous, with the buds showing significant daily growth. The smell is evolving into a strong, citrusy scent, reminiscent of grapefruit. Environment: This week began with a cold front, bringing temperatures down to a minimum of 5ยฐC and a maximum of 15ยฐC. A light rain has helped increase the humidity, which could boost resin production, although the cooler temperatures may also slow down the flowering process, just as they did during the vegetative stage. Fertilizing: I've stopped fertilizing as the plant now has everything it needs from the substrate. Watering: Sparse, around once a week, to maintain the right moisture levels without over-saturating. Pest Control: Beauveria applications have been reduced to once weekly, and the garden remains completely free of pests, which is a pleasant surprise. Training: The main cola top remains tied down. I haven't done any further defoliation or additional training. The focus is now on letting the plant continue its natural growth as it transitions deeper into flowering.

What up family, weekly update on these girls. I raised the lights 6in this week to allow some stretch but still keeping 400-600ppfd at the canopy level. Over all they're progressing beautifully. I started adding 2.5ml/gal of Athenas Blended line Grow A & B. Haven't seen any burnt leaf tips from the nutes so I think they'll be OK adding a little boost. I am seeing some from the water I spilled on the leafs. Lol. All in all Happy Growing.

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking Iโ€™ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. Iโ€™m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldnโ€™t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so Iโ€™m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didnโ€™t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didnโ€™t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

Welcome back, my fellow plant enthusiasts, to the final chapter of our enchanting journey with our beloved Lavender Auto from Seeds Mafia. We have reached Week 10, a milestone where the culmination of patience and dedication unfolds in all its splendor. So, let's savor this moment and celebrate the breathtaking beauty that our Lavender has become. As I gaze upon our Lavender Auto, my heart fills with sheer admiration. She has blossomed into a magnificent sight, exuding an aura of pure elegance. Her once vibrant green foliage has transformed into shades of autumn, with gentle hints of yellow and amber, mirroring the changing seasons. It's a visual masterpiece that truly captivates the soul. And let me tell you, my friends, the aroma that now fills the air is nothing short of a divine symphony. The unexpected twist our Lavender Auto brought us earlier has taken a delightful turn. The skunk-like fragrance has gracefully evolved into a heavenly fusion of lavender and sweet floral notes. It's as if she heard our desires and decided to gift us with her own interpretation of perfection. Mother Nature, indeed, works in mysterious and awe-inspiring ways. With a heavy heart, yet brimming with excitement, I must share that the time has come to bid farewell to our Lavender Auto. She has reached the pinnacle of her growth, displaying trichome-laden buds that glisten like tiny crystals, beckoning us to partake in their euphoria. The moment of harvest has arrived, and I assure you, my friends, it was a sight to behold. I would like to take a moment to express my utmost gratitude to the creators of this Lavender strain, thank you Seeds Mafia for this . Your dedication to developing such a remarkable plant is truly commendable. The Seeds Mafia team, you have crafted a masterpiece that has enchanted our senses and nurtured our passion for cultivation. Thank you for sharing your expertise and allowing us to embark on this extraordinary journey. I also want to extend a heartfelt shout-out to the wonderful platform at Grow Diaries, where we documented our Lavender's progress week after week. The community of growers who have supported and shared their wisdom throughout this journey, you have made this experience even more fulfilling. Let us continue to inspire and learn from one another as we nurture our green companions. As we close this chapter of our gardening tale, let us remember the invaluable lessons we have learned. Our Lavender Auto has taught us to embrace the surprises that nature offers, to find beauty in the unexpected, and to celebrate the uniqueness of each plant's journey. She has reminded us that true greatness lies not only in meeting expectations but also in surpassing them with her own remarkable twists. So, my fellow cultivators, let us bid adieu to our Lavender Auto with hearts filled with gratitude and admiration. May her legacy live on in our gardens and inspire future endeavors. And as we move forward on our botanical adventures, may we continue to nurture our plants with boundless affection, never-ending enthusiasm, and an unwavering belief in the wonders that nature bestows upon us.

Hey Guys! Super excited this week! I've really been wanting to try growing outdoors, so I built a cheap hoop house! Got most of this stuff for the frame from Lowes under 300$. All the soil products I got from GrowGreenMI. Some really cool people out there. One thing I'm super worried about is drainage. Right now those holes are about 4 feet deep and they've got about 4 inches of water in them already. What's been cautioned is that, eventually, about 2 months in these plants roots will grow and reach the bottom and cause root rot to form. One of the biggest things I was trying to be wary of was causing root rot. This was also the biggest precautionary measure I took when mixing the soil. Adding the extra perlite, coco, and clay pebbles. Best advice right now is to build the soil up on the holes another 16 to 18 inches and possible stick a PVC pipe down to the lowest drainage point of the hole to allow some of that natural occurring water to evaporate. Any advice anyone has on it is welcomed! Making a compost tea for the soil outdoors, will probably put 2 cups in each RDWC bucket as well and let that do it's magic for a day or so before nutrient change. Raised the bed about 14 inches as well! All the seeds sank! Off to a good start! Lol

Starting this week there will be a Mars Hydro VG40 at the bottom to boost the lower buds, they will not be as dense but will be good for some hash that's why I leave them be. The ORP probe is not calibrated and values are to be taken with a grain of salt. Values are average of the day.
