I have been using LST in the form of a fan on medium speed to try and strengthen the main stalk of the plant as well as planter rotation to strengthen the main stalk for tie down LST. So far I've been impressed with the rate of growth and the overall experiment. For what it's worth, the growth wth is very very similar to a hydroponics growth. I'm sure as the experiment continues I'll notice some big differences. It does appear to have either a minor potassium deficiency or a little too much nitrogen. Will monitor and update as needed. The above signs may have been trying to indicate the main stalk was weakening from too much weight from vertical grow rate. This would ultimately lead to a fractured stalk. Is this what happened or is it a fungus or disease problem? Plant C sprouted within 48hrs and will be 6 days behind Plant A. End goal of harvest is still 360g from the two plants combined. Both plants are looking very happy regardless of the toxicity or deficiency. Strong strain nonetheless.

D61 (21/01/2021): First day for week 5 of flowering. It's incredible how the buds are forming and getting bigger. It easily doubled (if not more) in size in the last 7 days. Since beginning of bloom, I normally gave water every other days. I make sure the soil is dry and the pots feel light when I lift them before giving any water. But it's not ideal cause it means that the plant drank all the water at his disposal and maybe it missed some. I will try a different watering schedule by giving water every 36 hours instead of every 48 hours. I will still make sure the soil his not wet and the pot not heavy (soil full of water) when I will give water. At this stage, they need a lot of nutrients to produce big buds. I will give nutrients every other feeding and only Max Minerals the others. Today I gave 1/2 of the recommended dose of Max Minerals. - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6.3 , 329PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.9 and 1090PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 940PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 50% light ON ; 48-49% light OFF D62 (22/01/2021): Nothing special for today. The lamps are now at 12 inches from higher colas. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-21C light OFF - no water - RH: 50-52% light ON ; 48-52% light OFF D63 (23/01/2021): I gave full dose of Max Minerals and Max Bud and 1/2 of Max Grow. All base on mid late flower recommended dose. Relative humidity % was difficult to maintain low last night. It is normal since I give water more often. I removed leaves to help reduce humidity. Both look and smell sooooo good! 😋 - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6 , 940PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.7 and 1270PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.7 and 1100PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 50% light ON ; 55% light OFF D64 (24/01/2021): I gave half dose of Max Minerals. - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6.4 , 360PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.9 and 950PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 1030PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 50% light ON ; 45-47% light OFF D65 (25/01/2021): I'm at day 65 and base on the website I bough the seeds, they are close to harvest. They say 65-75 day from seed. My girls are not ready. I guess maybe 2 more weeks. The trichomes are all cloudy for Glue Gelato and 90% cloudy 10% clear for Banana Kush. I think it is time to start flushing. I will only give tap water at proper PH for the next 10-14 days and keep looking at trichomes. I consider also reducing air temperature and humidity for the rest of the grow. We are getting close! 😍😎 - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D66 (26/01/2021): I decided not flushing today. I gave only full dose of Max Bud. Glue Gelato is getting very frosty! She has approximately 50% white pistils and 50% brown pistils but she keep growing new pistils. Banana Kush is less frosty but thicker and look a bit behind in maturity compared with Glue Gelato. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6 , 440PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.8 and 930PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.8 and 1220PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 48% light ON ; 47-50% light OFF D67 (27/01/2021): The electric breaker where all the equipment of my tent is plug tripped. It took me around 20 min to notice it. During that time the relative humidity % went up around 75%. I don't think it will cause anything bad but I wanted to document it. I started the flush today by giving tap water at proper PH. The tap water of my city is around 130-140 PPM. I always let it sit in a bucket for 24h. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-21C light OFF - water: PH6, 135PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.9 and 625PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 725PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 48% light ON ; 52-55% light OFF

Repoting this week! First, the new pot, this will be the final pot for my White Widow, a 50L geotextile pot with a substrate I prepared and amended beforehand. I kept a diary about the reciepe of this substrate! Before transplanting, I added about 75g of BioGrow as a top dressing to provide a good nitrogen boost for the next few weeks. Then I had to select one of my three FLC. I applied a spoonful of TNC Mycorrplus to the slightly damp roots so it would adhere well. I placed it in the center of the pot and watered like 3L with Bioenhanceur, trying to be gentle during this steps Now, fingers crossed for what comes next...🤞 Thanks for stopping by!💪💚

All genetics are loving life and looking great as you can see 👀 Thanks for answering my question regarding light schdule. I am keeping them on 18.6. If something isn't broken why change it. That is the motto I think. Shout out to all that have commented and watching and popping In to see my progress I appreciate it all.

Der Herbst ist da!!! Die Blüten machen sich gut und ich sehe täglichen Fortschritt

Hello! What's up? Today was the last day, we ended week 13 with success! Barely gave them any water, try to keep it to a minimum so they dry 'faster'. Super happy with this strain, beautiful buds, smell, sticky af and quite dense too. Was watching them day and night, every day to make sure I'd cut them in the right day. Having a microscope is really handy for this point, allowing to harvest in the desired state. Now I'll prepare the room for harvest, remove the reflector, bulbs, etc, and flip the box to a 'drying station'. They look ready to go for me, and after the pictures I chopped them down, and have around 2kg before trimming. That's the most I ever got out of a grow at once. Super amazed. Thank you very much @weedseedsexpress for being part of the contest, was really fun and a pleasure to grow such strong strain!

Welcome growers First fourteen days of flowering ended for these two BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE 🍰 The flowers are scattered and are more or less at the same ripeness for each 🌻🌻 Ten days ago the plants were suffering a little and now they show some difficulties.. But that's nothing too worrying ! In these cases there will be "problems" only at the level of final yield.. But I think I saved them in time 🏥 We will see in the coming weeks.. About nutrients 👇 I still giving their always organic/veganic nutrients.. A little bit of silicium (Bionova) / Activator (Biomagno) / Crescita (Biomagno) / Activera (Biobizz) / Grow vegan (Bionova) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) / Bioheaven (Biobizz) , a little bit of P-K 3-5 (Bionova) {in spray solution } , Fioritura (Biomagno) and Bloom vegan (Bionova) Like i usually do, a little bit of everything at any watering 💧 And that's all.. See you next 📆 Thanks for stopping by 😎👍👍 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

Nous somme à la 6ème semaines de floraison tout se passe comme prévu les bourgeons continuent de gonflés les paramètres sont excellents 24 degrés en température 55% en hydrometrie. - L'ajout de RQS guano a redonner un coup pouce à la plante les bourgeons ont sacrément gonfler aimer et regarder par vous même. Cet semaine sera aussi la dernière irrigation avec nutes. Ce run est l'une de mes préférée. Léger carences en azote post-stretch cela es dû a un faible apport de celui-ci mais rien de grave cela indique les derniers semaine de vie de cette dame le rinçage sera simple et éfficace. L'odeur quelle dégage es fortement fruité cela sent le 🍬 🍬. A plus pour d'avantge d'informations.👍🏼

Sorry not many pics this week, struck down with man-flu! Few pics of the new 600wt lumni fully adjustable light I picked up and have replaced one of the smaller kingbo’s with it, thought about having the two kingbo’s either side of this lumni but I really didn’t wanna forfeit the 400wt cobs! Also bought another double output air pump, so going into flowering phase, watt/plant ratio has increased and so has aeration to the air domes inside the smart pots. I’ve also added a small water pump to the nutrient tank to keep it moving/oxygenated while it’s waiting to feed into the drip tray.

03/10/2021 Drastically clipped, and cracked two tops to train as a type of manifold, she will be reppotted next week and then flower. Second picture shows what I'm going for

🌸 Kweekverslag – Gold Kush (WeedSeedShop) 🗓️ Week 5 – Start Bloei (12/12 schakeling) Datum: 10 juli 2025 Medium: Potgrond (licht voorgemest) Lichtschema: 12/12 (omgeschakeld begin week) Soort: Gold Kush (Fem) Verlichting: LED 450W Afzuiging: Passief + clipfan Potmaat: 11L --- 🔍 Observaties Stretch is duidelijk begonnen: planten flink omhooggeschoten. Gemiddelde hoogte: 45–60 cm. Eerste bloeiharen zichtbaar op de hoofdtoppen en oksels. Structuur blijft open en luchtig door eerdere LST – ideaal voor deze LED. Bladeren ogen donkergroen en gezond, geen zichtbare tekorten. --- 💧 Water & Voeding Watergift om de 2 dagen; potten zijn vlot leeggetrokken. Bloeivoeding gestart (NPK 2-4-6) op 75% sterkte. Extra CalMag toegevoegd om calciumtekort vóór te zijn. Geen tekenen van overvoeding of verbranding. --- 🌿 Training & Verzorging Extra LST toegepast om canopy gelijk te houden. Lichtafstand bijgesteld naar ±35 cm boven de hoogste toppen. Onderste takjes en bladeren weggehaald (lollipopping light) voor luchtcirculatie. --- 📌 Opmerkingen Planten reageren prima op de omschakeling naar bloei. Geen herma's of stress gezien. Luchtvochtigheid verlaagd naar ±50% ter preventie van schimmel. Volgende week: verdere ontwikkeling bloeiharen en begin topvorming.

As week 2 comes to an end 4 of the 5 have shown great growth 1 is behind (#5) but it also has a mutation and has a few 4 leafers on it. #3 is shorter and has wider leaves.

🌿 Journal de Culture : Mac 1 Autoflower – "Bee Happy" 🐝 (Semaine 11) ​ #Dryrocket ​On entre doucement dans la dernière ligne droite. La production de résine atteint son paroxysme et les choix stratégiques pour la récolte commencent à se profiler. ​Un Grand Merci ​Un merci tout particulier à @mia_biotabs et @Mrs_Larimar pour leur accompagnement tout au long de cette aventure, ainsi qu’à tous les cultivateurs qui suivent ce ce journal depuis le début ! Je tiens également à remercier chaleureusement @Dryrocket de me donner l'opportunité de tester leur appareil. J'espère sincèrement que j'aurai assez de silice pour mener à bien cette session avec, ça s'annonce super intéressant ! ☺️ ​Paramètres de Culture & Environnement ​Taille : Toujours stable à 91 cm. ​Le problème de colocation : "Bee Happy" est toujours très impactée et cachée par l'envergure de sa grande sœur Spirit. À cause de ce manque d'espace et de cette ombre imposée, il m'est encore difficile de me prononcer précisément sur la structure globale de la plante et sur l'estimation finale de la quantité. On fait avec, mais le potentiel est clairement là. ​Climat & Environnement : Les constantes restent inchangées. Lampe calée à 40 cm de la canopée, températures fixées à 24°C jour / 21°C nuit, et déshumidificateur en marche pour maintenir l'humidité à 60%. ​Nutrition & Gestion de l'Eau ​Système : Le réservoir Autopot gère toujours l'arrosage automatique de fond en eau claire. ​Ration du jour : J'ai donné aujourd'hui une dose légèrement réduite par rapport à la semaine dernière : 4 ml de Liquid PK 5-8 Biotabs. On commence à lever le pied doucement en vue des prochaines étapes. ​Étude des Trichomes & Structure des Buds ​C'est ici que l'on constate une vraie divergence génétique. Les têtes de "Bee Happy" gonflent de façon totalement différente de celles de Spirit : ​La structure : Alors que Spirit développe des fleurs longilignes en forme de "sapin", "Bee Happy" nous sort des têtes ultra-compactes, très denses et groupées, qui ressemblent à des têtes de choux-fleurs. ​L'évolution des trichomes : Le givre est tout simplement impressionnant et très épais. À la loupe, les trichomes sont presque majoritairement laiteux. Il reste encore quelques trichomes transparents isolés et très peu d'ambrés pour le moment. ​État général : L'odeur sucrée est toujours bien présente et très agréable. Excellente surprise du côté de la santé globale : l'absence de sénescence se confirme, toutes les feuilles nourricières disponibles sont encore bien vertes et captent le moindre rayon disponible. ​Perspectives pour la suite 🏁 ​Au vu de l'évolution des trichomes (majoritairement laiteux), le pic de THC est tout proche. Je pense que je vais la mettre au rinçage dans pas très longtemps. L'idée va être de couper le PK pour laisser la plante vider ses réserves et consommer les nutriments restants dans le sol avant la coupe. ​Merci à tous d'avoir suivi cette mise à jour ! La fin approche pour "Bee Happy" et le test de l'appareil Dryrocket s'annonce très lourd pour la suite des événements. À la semaine prochaine !
