This was my first experience using Mapito and Ebb & Flow, together with the new LED light. The plant turned out to be unusually low. 👌 The variety is quite fragrant, but the smell appeared only in the middle of flowering. At the time of trimming, the plant smelled of mint candies 😁

🌿 **Green-O-Matic Grow Week 9 Update: Nearing Harvest Time!** 🌱 Greetings, fellow growers! It's time for an exciting update on the progress of our Green-O-Matic journey as we reach Week 9 of the grow cycle. With anticipation building and buds swelling, let's dive into the latest developments: 🌟 **Bountiful Bud Development**: At Week 9, our Green-O-Matic beauties are truly showing their potential, with buds swelling and resin production kicking into high gear. The once-small flowers have transformed into dense, frosty nuggets, promising a bountiful harvest in the near future. Trichome production is in full swing, indicating peak cannabinoid potency and aromatic complexity. 📏 **Final Stretch of Growth**: As we enter the final stretch of the flowering phase, our focus shifts to maximizing bud development while ensuring optimal ripening conditions. With careful attention to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and airflow, we aim to create the perfect microclimate for our plants to thrive and reach their full potential. 🍃 **Leaf Senescence and Nutrient Management**: As expected in the late flowering stage, some leaves may begin to exhibit signs of senescence as the plant reallocates energy towards bud production. This natural process is perfectly normal and serves as a signal that the plant is nearing maturity. Meanwhile, our nutrient management strategy remains vigilant, providing the essential elements needed to support robust flowering without risking nutrient imbalances or deficiencies. 🔍 **Monitoring Trichome Maturity**: With harvest on the horizon, we're keeping a close eye on trichome development to determine the optimal time for harvest. Using a jeweler's loupe or digital microscope, we inspect trichomes for signs of maturity, aiming for a mix of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of THC and CBD levels, as well as flavor and aroma profiles. 🌞 **Preparing for Harvest**: As we prepare for harvest day, our checklist includes gathering supplies such as trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers, as well as ensuring a clean and sanitized workspace to maintain the integrity of our precious buds. Proper post-harvest care and curing techniques will be employed to preserve terpene profiles and enhance overall quality. In conclusion, Week 9 marks a pivotal moment in our Green-O-Matic grow journey, where patience and precision culminate in the imminent harvest of our prized buds. Stay tuned for the next update as we celebrate the culmination of months of dedicated cultivation with a bounty of premium-grade cannabis ready to be enjoyed and shared. Happy growing! 🌿✨ 🚫 **Addendum: Phenotype Bin Update** 🌱 In the spirit of transparency and continuous improvement, it's important to note that we've made the decision to bin one out of the three phenotypes due to poor development. Despite our best efforts and meticulous care, this particular phenotype failed to thrive and did not meet our quality standards. While it's always disappointing to part ways with a plant, this decision ensures that our resources and attention remain focused on nurturing the strongest and healthiest phenotypes to their fullest potential. By removing underperforming individuals, we can redirect our efforts towards optimizing the remaining plants for a successful harvest. Rest assured, this adjustment will not deter us from our commitment to excellence. We remain dedicated to the cultivation process, learning from each experience, and striving for the highest standards of quality and consistency in our cannabis cultivation journey. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we navigate the complexities of plant development and refinement. Together, we'll continue to grow and evolve towards greater success in our cultivation endeavors. 🌿💪

This week i will start the LST for the Fruit Spirit. She recovered amazing after the topping last week. I’ve added more chamomile flowers and egg shells to the soil as a natural fertiliser. I also use twice a week the 7-7-7 All Purpose for the Fruit Spirit and the Blue Cheese. I use 2 LED white lights, 1 Blue Fluorescent Tube and Pink Fluorescent tube. For water i buy mineral water from the store with 5.5PH and the soil is roughly 5.7 PH.

When I swapped out fans I accidentally plugged it into the wrong power bar so it has been turning off with the lights.... humidity has still been high..I found 2 colas on a blue dream with budrot, I cut off the colas effected, fixed the fan so it'll run 24/7 again and hoping I get lucky and they are the only 2 I'll have to throw away. One blue dream is fox tailing...I'm not sure if it's heat/light stress, even the lower colas and ones not directly under the light are. It's only on the one plant, the other blue dream has colas closer to light and aren't fox tailing at all.

Hello everyone, people! I am very glad that the gorilla girl has become so beautiful! she is very slim and beautiful! buds grow every day. just a billion trichomes on them! because of the trichomes, the red tint on the buds is poorly visible, which is manifested due to the genetics of this strain ..)) the smell is amazing! the buds begin to harden and get heavy like a stone !! Yesterday I gave her one of my favorite boosters from Overdrive! to give a second breath to the plant and to extend flowering a little more and get more harvest)) Overdrive is a very cool thing if you use it at the right time!))

Hey there growmies! Week 16 and week 6 of flower has started. Although I do have to keep reminding myself that they are technically entering week 4 of flower. I was quickly reminded of that over the weekend, lol. Everything is still going good. They're all taking in plenty at the moment, very heavy eaters these ladies are! Trichomes are looking great and the smell is really starting to come out. Smells right now are very sweet, like candy. It's even more intense when I brush by watering and touching them. Weird because I thought the smell was supposed to be earthy, citrus and fuel. Still alot of time to go though. I'm definitely noticing day by day swelling and that's just cool to me, I love watching plants grow ❤️ Well that's it for now. Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

Welcome in 6th week of life of mimosa Bruce banner. When I removed her from the tent in 2nd week to let's be honest cold environment outsid, I thouth she's going to die, or stay funny small plantie. But she wants to prove me wrong, and keeps on growing, and being healthy plant. Outside is like 8 -10°C, in the night, but she don't mind. I didn't water her since she is in the big pot with other plants, rainwater is just the thing she drinks. Showed first pistils, but outside is completely different schedule. Her sisters in a tent are way further with flowering, but that's even better, she has some more time to grow green mass. Day 39 she definitely want to prove me wrong that I removed her out of the tent. Be my guest :D Peace!

📆 Week 9, 7-13 December 2023 7-13 December - Continued with simple adjustment of branches to receive maximum light. There was no defoliation of any leaf this week. Her growth rate has slowed and I believe she is heading in to the bulking stage. I’m satisfied with her size at this point. 8 December - Turned light power from 50% up to 75%, and raised lights from 18” to 21” from top of plant to facilitate the bulking phase of flowering. 📑 Let’s briefly discuss light and umol/m2/s or PPFD. First of all its all about numbers. Is there an agreeable starting point on these figures - the cannabis plant requires between 100-300 PPFD in seedling, 400-700 PPFD in vegetation, and 800-1000 PPFD in flower. It can go up to 1500 PPFD with certain C02 concentrations. I believe this may be generally accepted. Never being much of a numbers person, in ways I avoid it. I’ve grown indoor weed for a long time without a fancy device to tell me what this number was, the plant did that. A quality light and the plant itself will talk to each other in a matter of hours sometimes, days in others, I just need observe. But what I have come to realize the past few years is that these numbers, found in simple instruments (apps for smart phones) give us a very specific area of where she is within all these spectrums. It allows us more precision and insight to what would otherwise be a possible weak or vulnerable spot within our grow. I’ll use mine on a new strain, and to verify any questions. They are easily accessible tools for the common gardner. When we adjust our lights we can measure what will be optimal for our plant. Using my case in point; from: 50% power or 890 PPFD at 18” to: 75% power or 1080 PPFD at 21” **if not raised 3” - that number would have been 1320 PPFD - likely damage the plant - or raised any higher there would be no real benefit in what I’m attempting to achieve - likely waste of power** The 2023 ViperSpectra XS2000 lights (the ones I use) come with a new switch now that go from 25, 50, 75, 100% power and no option in between. So that kind of put a kink in a week or two during my grows I have to work around. Going from 50-75% power is a big shift in light intensity, and these lights are bright. Knowing what that number is and being able to adjust the height precisely to avoid damage is reassuring. I appreciate advancements that make growing a little easier. In most personal grows during flower I’ll go well over 1000 PPFD depending on the strain tolerance, without C02. Here are my experiences why: 1) my set-up allows it, 2) that number only reflects the greatest reading at the highest point on the plant - my reports, 3) when the plant is budding it is absorbing much more photons than when in the leafy only stage - everything is accelerated - this is a totally different discussion, 4) the additional light provided will proportionally increase a higher yield, and finally, 5) some of todays theories on light will change in 5 years, as it has from 10 years before, we still have a lot to research. LEDs are definately cream of the crop, but there is something new to learn I’m sure. Until then I can only tweak what I have in search for a tighter bud, higher in THC. I said I would briefly discuss this subject. Everything is possible with lights. It is science that says the cannabis plant does not have to produce secondary metabolites (trichomes and cannabinoids), in some cases it may not. It produces them based on its environment. She returns to you what you dedicate toward her. Something to keep in mind when deciding what kind of light to use to while trying to grow quality cannabis. 🍽️ Nutrient change on 7 December 🐲 Feeding schedule updated 7 December 🌊 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient Solution EC 2.1 at 65 degrees F 💡 Light power at 75% That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

This was the first time using the LED panels, they have much better canopy penetration than HID. I started at 12 inches, the leaves showed signs of light stress. The lights were moved back 6-8". Fan leaf growth rate is averaging 1/4" a day. 18"H x 6"W.
