Week 4: Growth Spurts and New Challenges Continued Growth and Health As we move into the fourth week, the plants are showing impressive growth. Their leaves are a lush, vibrant green, and the stems are becoming stronger. The transition to the larger 11-liter fabric pots has clearly paid off, providing the roots with ample space and better aeration. Adjusting Nutrient Levels Given their positive response to the nutrients, I decided to continue with 2/3 of Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding schedule, adjusting slightly to meet their increasing demands. Here's the updated feeding plan for this week: CalMag: 2.5 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.50 mS/cm) Grow: 1.5 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 0.5 ml/l EC: 1.2 mS/cm (600 ppm PPM-500/TDS) pH: 6.0 Each plant is watered with approximately 20% runoff to ensure there's no nutrient buildup in the coco mix. I will maintain this nutrient level until the pre-flowering stage to avoid the risk of nutrient burn due to over-fertilization. Weather Improvements and Adjustments The weather has been steadily improving, with temperatures expected to rise to around 25°C starting Wednesday, accompanied by abundant sunshine. This upcoming forecast is excellent news for my plants, as I anticipate a final growth spurt before flowering begins. Every centimeter of growth counts at this stage, and I'm optimistic about maximizing their potential under these favorable conditions. Strengthening with Wind Exposure On days with good weather, I move the plants out of the greenhouse to expose them to natural wind. This practice helps strengthen their stems, improving overall stability. Additionally, the wind creates a more challenging environment for pests, helping to keep them at bay. Smart Watering Strategy I only water the plants when the pots feel noticeably lighter. This encourages the roots to search for water, promoting the development of a stronger and more extensive root system. This method helps ensure the plants remain healthy and resilient. Pest Management: Observations and Actions At the beginning of the third week, I noticed dark discolorations on the undersides of some leaves. A few days later, these spots turned into yellow patches. I am still unsure about the cause of these spots. To prevent a potential insect infestation, I sprayed all the leaf surfaces, both top and bottom, with a mildly dosed neem oil mixture. Since then, the spots have not spread further. Because these discolorations are only affecting the lower leaves, they are not causing me significant concern at the moment. Regular inspections and preventive measures are crucial to maintaining the health of the plants and ensuring that any issues are caught early. Decision Against LST At first I have decided against using LST. But some of your comments made me try some LST on two of my plants. I choose Tangie and Gorilla cookies to try out and learn some stuff. Blue dream and Banana purple punch stay without any training. Thanks guys for your advice 👍 Monitoring and Care My daily routine involves checking the plants every morning and evening. This includes: Monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. Inspecting the plants for any signs of pests or nutrient deficiencies. Growth Observations The plants are responding well to the controlled environment and balanced nutrition. They are growing rapidly, with new leaves appearing almost daily. The stems are thickening, and the overall structure of the plants is robust and healthy. Looking Ahead As we head into week 4, I am optimistic about the continued growth and health of my plants. The combination of a stable environment, appropriate nutrient levels, and diligent care is proving successful. I’m excited to see how they progress and adapt as they move closer to the flowering stage. Seeking Feedback and Tips Your feedback and tips are valuable to me! If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my growing techniques or insights based on your own experiences, please feel free to share them in the comments below. Let's grow together!

Day 8 - Color improving, but not at the rate I'd expect or like, so I went ahead and gave her more food. I am feeling so hesitant in doing so, just because I've never had such a hungry baby, but I'm adding slowly over the course of the past few days to try my best to avoid nutrient burn. Day 9 - This girl is getting greener and stronger, but she's still on the pale side. I added 2 more mls of both Veg A, B, and Coco Cal - slow and steady. I'm hoping I can find her sweet spot soon. I'm starting to get that "I don't know wtf I'm doing" feeling lol 😂 Her environment is pristine - Ph is great, temp in the tent and water is perfect, I brought up the humidity to 48%, air circulation is on point... I'm not sure what else I could offer this princess.🤷‍♀️ C'mon little FF3, show me what you got! Day 10 - continued improvement in color, but not seeing what I want. I'm watching myself as to try to avoid nutrient burn, but she just seems hungry.... So far the more she eats the greener she's getting so, fingers crossed! 🤞added 5ml Coco Cal Day 11 - I think we've found our happy place. Her color looks much better, and she's growing happily. Her little mutated leaf has grown so fat you can barely appreciate its uniqueness anymore. Day 12 - added another half gallon of water along with 2mls of Veg A and B, as well as 4ml Coco Cal. Day 13 - I continue to keep feeding with hesitation, only because I've. Never experienced an eater like this before. Still. No signs of nute burn, but I do have continued improvement of color and gusto. 💪 Day 14 - Closing out a happily uneventful week. She's fat and happy, and that's all I can hope for at this stage. She really enjoys story time! 💜🤣

July 27th, 43 days post flip. Clones: I think at this point they are done growing. I keep having to super crop and twist and intertwine the branches beneath the light. At this point it has formed almost a bed in nature. I have some burnt leaves and tips but I’m not worried, I will have plenty of buds Plant number 2 has my favorite bud structure so far, close spacing and more modern. Plant number 3 seems to be an in between of 2 and 4 Plant number 4, the gigantic one, has these spear like buds. I suspect this may be the most primitive of the bunch and am looking forward to smoking it Plants finally starting to develop some distinct smells when I touch them. The one is very citrusy in nature Going to continue to give nothing but water, I may give some cal mag and maybe a little potassium but will see. Due to the fact that these grew above the light I’m looking at supplemental lighting I could run during the grow. Parents: Completely recovered from their topping two weeks ago. Going to continue to water and keep them happy God bless!

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and this should be her final week, I’m just looking for a little bit more amber to show up in her. Hopefully as she dries out from her last watering, she’ll get to that 30-40%. Her buds are really chunking up and dense as hell too! Day 72 - And she’s done, she’s gonna get the axe after 48 hours or so of darkness. Haven’t really used the darkness before harvest method before but needed some room in the tent so gonna give it a go. She should be getting chopped on Thursday sometime.

Semana 8 de floración.🌹 Entramos en una fase clave del cultivo, donde el foco está puesto en la maduración progresiva y en mantener la estabilidad para que las plantas terminen de expresar todo su potencial. Los cogollos continúan engordando semana tras semana, con una producción de resina muy evidente, especialmente en hojas de azúcar y cálices superiores. Los aromas empiezan a intensificarse y la estructura floral se mantiene firme y bien formada, las flores empiezan a coger alimentos de las hojas. -Permanent Marker: Las Permanent Marker están mostrando una floración muy atractiva. Cogollos cada vez más compactos, tricomas visibles incluso a simple vista y una evolución constante sin signos de estrés. Los tricomas se observan mayoritariamente claros con aparición progresiva de lechosos, lo que indica que aún queda margen de engorde y maduración. Los pistilos comienzan a oxidar poco a poco, pero todavía hay una gran cantidad de blancos activos. El terpeno que desprende es muy potente, complejo de describir, con lijeras variaciones entre los tres ejemplares. En esta etapa se ha decidido no forzar la nutrición, priorizando estabilidad y salud general para un final limpio y de calidad. -Jealousy Diesel Auto Las Jealousy Diesel auto avanzan a un ritmo algo más lento, pero de forma constante y saludable. La formación de tricomas está siendo abrumadora, junto a un impresionante terpeno a cítricos, naranja y picante que se pega en tu olfato por horas después de manipularla. Se ha respetado su ritmo natural, sin prisas, permitiendo que continúen desarrollando resina y estructura floral progresivamente. 🔬 Control y decisiones técnicas: • Ambiente estable durante toda la semana. • Fotoperiodo 12/12. • Nutrición moderada, sin excesos. • Riegos ajustados y observación diaria. • Sin signos de estrés ni carencias relevantes. En este punto del cultivo, la prioridad ha sido mantener constancia y evitar cualquier cambio brusco que pudiera afectar a la calidad final. 🔍 Estado de maduración: Tricomas: mayoritariamente claros, inicio de lechosos. Pistilos: mezcla de blancos y algunos oxidados. Resina: muy abundante. Cogollos: aún en fase de engorde. Todavía no es momento de cosechar. Se prioriza dejar que las plantas completen su ciclo y alcancen su punto óptimo de maduración. La magia está haciendo efecto. ,😍🌿✨❤️

Wetter war wechselhaft, relativ viel Regen. Sie hatten kein Problem damit und wachsen. Orion geht ab wie eine Rakete 🚀. 2 Banana ziehen mit, eine schleicht hinterher .Orion f1 Nr.2 und eine cream sind tot.kein Wachstum.also geht das Tagebuch mit 4 Pflanzen weiter. Bis nächste Woche ✌️

Day 56 she’s happy and loving life. I can’t wait till she’s finished. Lord knows she’s shines bright like a diamond 🎉👌🏻 I can’t wait for her she’s just so beautiful I can’t even hardly.

* 20/24 lights (4h/day rest) for 3 days.after that we continued with 24/24. * Add some extra advanced formulations from this week. ⚠️ Stay tuned 👇 🗓️🔜 week 7 --> we'll make a review to the progress of the different strains inside the tent with photos and vids.

Welcome to my second grow of the Do-si-dos strain. This girl was veg'd for 14 week in a small pot while my first grow of this strain is in the flowering room. She didn't gain much more in size, despite the extra veg time, probably due to lower levels of nutes and the smaller pot size. Still she's looking good after moving her to the big pot and giving her a trim. Thanks for checking out my grows!

The haze berry have something wrong but i keep her till the end

2/1/2024- Pre-Germination Activities Day 1 I have 21 weeks until final photo is do.. I took 3 seeds out of cold storage and will let them get to room temp for the next 48 hours before I go with Glass of water for germination. I have 3 beans because I will start from the very beginning helping ensure I present the best Pheno. This is going to be a fun one.. I am a few days away from being able to clear my tent out for this run.. I have a breeding run in right now and the Seeds are a few days away from being mature enough for me to take down the girls. Once I get them down I will need to get my tent cleaned up and turned over right away. This is going to be close, I will have to time them to the water and into the tray at the right time.. because I will need to get lighting on them right away.. I have my 2X2 and my light ready incase I need to hold them in the cloning machine if the others are not done in the next few days.. Glad I have options that can stretch me out for a week or 2 to give me a little more time. 2/2/2024- Pre-Germination Activities Day 2 I checked on my breeding run to see how close the seeds are and if the tent is ready for me to clear and clean but alas I am still going to need a few days. I setup the emergency 2X2 and that should give me 2-3 weeks. The plan is to still wait one more day to allow the beans to warm up to room temp and then drop them in Water sometime tomorrow. Form my Emergency 2X2 I have the following: 4" inline fan and carbon filter Fan VS-2000 light 2/3/2024- Germination Activities Day 0 - Dropped the Beans in.. Today is 0 day.. Go.. Go .. Go.. 2/4/2024- Germination Activities Day 0-1 - Checked in on them this morning and no tap roots yet.. covered them back up and back in to the closet they went. I setup the Root Riots and the Seed tray for them. I Ensured my water that I was soaking the root riots in was PHed to 5.8 and I used RO water. Afternoon Update: Checked on my Breeders and they are done. I started to harvest them, I took down the one I had reversed with STS and I took down the Black African Magic- All but one bud, I wanted to get some pics of that one today. I was only able to get 2lbs into the Cannatrol because I had to be very careful to keep the bud from the plant that was treated with the STS separated from the other seeded bud that was pollenated from the plant I reversed. Cannatrol could have held an additional 2oz of wet but not today. Ideally I need 1 more Cannatrol so I can take an entire Tent, but will figure that out. I put an additional 1.5lbs into the freezer to wait it's turn into the Cannatrol, I would have left it on the plant and taken it in 4 days when the dry cycle gets done but wasn't sure how much 2.2 lbs was equivalent to chopped and wet trimmed. 2/5/2024- Germination Activities Day 0-2 - Checked in on them this morning and 2 of them have very small tap roots out.. one still doesn't going to give them some more time. I will check in on them this evening and see if they are more open if so I will transfer the ones that are ready to their medium and seed tray. 2/6/2024- Planting Day TRUE Germination Day 0- Checked in on them this morning and all 3 of them have tap roots out. I broke the bottom of the tap root for #1 which was the biggest.. pretty sad.. I hope she survives.. I tried to be careful it just snapped off when I was trying to get it in the root riot right. Other than that all three are now in their in-between home in the 2X2 while if finish clearing and cleaning out their forever homes. 2/7/2024- Germination Day 1- Checked in on them and no surprise no sprouts yet. Sprayed the dome to moist it and light spray to the tops of the Root Riots. 2/8/2024- Germination Day 2- #3 is popped and it looks like #2 will be popped by this evening.. I got my second Cannatrol today so now I can take down the rest of the tent and get it into the dry/cure. 2/9/2024- Germination Day 3- #2 is popped as well.. so I have #2 and #3 up and still waiting to see on #1 but that might be a loss since I accidently broke off some of the Tap root when transplanting. 2/10/2024- Germination Day 4- #1 has Popped... We have ignition on all 3.. YAY!! I finished clean up and install of RDWC system, this time was unique the back left buckets 3 inch pipe wasn't seated correctly so I had to clean up about 12 gallons of water all of the floor. I also had two leaks coming from one of the Waterfall return junctions, this is why I do a full pressure test before I put anything in. I will continue to monitor it through tomorrow to ensure that I am good to go and then I will finish setting up the baskets and prepping the water to be ready for the ladies planting day!!! 2/11/2024- Germination Day 5- #1 Of course is going to be my trouble plant.. No matter what If she lives through planting in the system and making it, I think I might not cull her at all regardless, she has been such a problem, makes me wonder if she will be super worth it towards the end.. We will see as we go through this grow, but #1 has a piece of the shell on the leaves, Other than that I set up a new thing I have been doing since last grow converting my Baskets into Sure plants so I can see exactly where the water is when I plant them and ensure I have the water up high enough that they are able to access it and grow but not too high were they are drowning. 2/12/2024- Germination Day 6- Everything seems to be going good.. will just keep them moist and let the roots grow for a few more days before I transplant to forever home. 2/13/2024 - Germination Day 7- Just keeping them Moist. 2/14/2024 - Germination Day 8 - Planting day.. they are now in the system.. :-)I had to fill the water to the bottom of the basket where I could see water on the bottom rocks and just coming up where I had created my whole/ sure plant. 2/15/2024 - Germination Day 9- Top fed just a little to keep them moist and encourage root growth towards the water. I ensured the PH is right at 5.98-6.02 range. 2/16/2024 - Germination Day 10- Top fed just a little to keep them moist and encourage root growth towards the water.

**Mar-23rd added a couple random photos to end the week. Will start the 3rd week of flower the 24th** **Added a few new photos till the new week update starts.Mar22nd** Found out some info on this thing figured I'd share. Here's a link that will make it easier if interested about the Fascation mutation. LINK - https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/columns/cultivation-matters/article/15693251/funky-stems This things a sight still. Not a single clue what she's doing up there, the stem is oddly wide aswell. All around a strange form going on with a ish ton of side branches trying to plop out. Had to defoliate quite a bit with the amount of leafs that were laying onto of each other wasn't great just dropped a few REALLY don't wanna stress this one at all. She's been doing well tho, she's been moved into the 4x4 with her sisters to get alil more room since the vaderade and Gary plants are taking over the 3x3. This one's interesting tho, can't wait to see this in another 2 or 3 weeks. Really appreciate anyone checking these things out , hope ur all doin well !!

Tuesday Ok so the plants are doing really well. One of the kalini Asia plants is in the only regular pot I’m using now. It’s a little larger than the AutoPot XL’s so therefore the plant is slightly bigger but spread out because I topped it a while ago and today I took all the bottom leaves as well as quite a few of the lower lateral branches that well small and weak. Hopefully this will encourage the energy to where it want it - The main growth tips! I think it was the other kalini Asia that is in the AutoPot XL that I ended up ‘super cropping’? Do correct me if I used the wrong term. The main growth stems were quite a lot higher than the large lateral branches so I squeezed the stem with my finger and flopped the main colas over then taped them and tied them to support them. The canopy is MUCH more even across all plants now. They look a bit bent over at the moment but I bet when I look tomorrow they are all facing the light again. Magic! They are def in the stretch phase now. They are growing like crazy. I’m really glad I did the nasty job of pulling each plant out and tying it down and cutting off the shit that won’t grow anything good. Oh I also gave them a watering from the top using lots of microbes (ecothrive biosys) and molasses dissolved into warm water. The res was basically empty and honestly the AutoPot XL’s don’t even look wet at all on top even though they are getting all the water they need. They don’t react negatively when I occasionally water goodies in from the top so it’s all good!!

did this beautiful girl a topping, depilation, and LST, she feels good 💚

Hey everyone :-) This week it smells more and more sweet and fruity in the whole room 😍. There is actually not much to report, everyone is now under 12/12 :-). This is the last grow that comes in the entire diary. From now on, each plant will be added to the diary 👍. I wish you all a lot of fun watching, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

*Will probably trabsplant these into 1 Gallon Pots in 2 days. *Nothing crazy *Only 4 of 5 beans popped.

Another good week here in the tent. Getting water daily. Defoliated as needed every other day. The girls are looking great and smelling great. Lots of frost coming off these girls. Started the UVB at 30 minutes and have moved up to an hour. The tests went right to two hours but I wanted to ramp it up. Will go up thirty minutes tomorrow and continue that every few days to ramp up usage.

Didn't stretch as much as she might have done which suits me. On target for plenty of compact buds. Taking the Shogun coco nutrient range like a champ. Only issue I've had is having to defoliate more times than I'd like.

18/07/2020- I've started some light defoliation on both plants to see if they can cope. Im removing lower and larger fan leaves to get more light onto the bud sites. They look super healthy and are getting very sticky. Same nute mix used as last week. 19/07/2020 - More defoliation today; plant seems to like it as flowers are continuing to grow and leaves are going silver. 21/07/2020 - Doubled the number of pk13/14 used in my nute mix to 20ml/10L and continuing to defoliate both plants. They seem to be responding very well. Still using this nute mix PH 6.2 a+b 40ml/10L Pk 13/14 20ml/10L PPM 1170 Temperature of solution ~20c Runoff ph 6.2 22/07/2020 Really struggling to prune the excess leaves on the plant without coming out feeling like I'm covered in glue. I guess there's worse problems to have... QO is going 23/07/2020 Had to travel away with work today; top cola has some minor light burn :( 24/07/2020 - Changed my ducting setup to improve airflow into the tent today and it's working well. I've also put some trellising above the plants so i can tie them up to prevent them from snapping or falling over. They're looking healthy.
