Day 36 Flower (Day 78) Today is the first day of week six of flower and on this glorious day, I went to war against the fungus gnats. By war, I mean watering each girl with 5 million Nematodes in 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. That should hopefully do the trick and get rid of the annoying little shits. I also experimented a bit more with bud photography and this time I used an LED ring flash. The next step is to shoot during the dark period so I don't get any supplemental light from the grow lights. That was pretty much it today as it is mostly just coasting along at this point in the grow. Day 37 Flower (Day 79) The left girl got pampered with a new light today. Let's see if those extra photons can help her fatten up. She also got a CO2 bag to help her to soak up all those juicy photons. The right girl on the other hand just got her daily watering. Today with 3 liters at pH 6.6. Day 38 Flower (Day 80) All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water and started brewing some compost tea to feed tomorrow. I used a simple recipe this time with just some worm castings and molasses to increase the microbial activity, as well as a bit of neem meal for some additional nutrition but also to help against pests. The fungus gnats in the tents are almost gone. The nematodes took care of the gnat larvae and the yellow sticky traps have been catching the adults. Day 39 Flower (Day 81) Super chill day. I just gave each girl 3 liters of compost tea at pH 6.2. Done. Day 40 Flower (Day 82) I gave 3 liters of pH 6.5 water to the right girl and supported some of her branches as they're getting heavy with buds. Boom! Day 41 Flower (Day 83) Today I gave each girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. The gnats look to be defeated for now. I can't see any in the tents and the yellow sticky traps are empty. Day 42 Flower (Day 84) The last day of the sixth week of flower and all is going great in the tents. The heatwave we were having went away, which kind of sucks on a personal and social level, but it's great for the girls as the tents were swelteringly hot. The left girl is 103 cm tall and didn't grow anything this week. She has started to fatten up a bit now since I installed a more powerful light, but she is still lagging far behind the right girl. I'm interested to see if she is only lagging behind in time and will fatten up eventually, or if her ordeal has stunted her flowers, resulting in a bunch of larf. Time will tell. Either way, it will be a learning experience. The right girl also didn't grow vertically this week (thankfully!). Her 123 cm is tall enough to be dangerously close to the lights. She is fattening up nicely but still some time to go before she is done. I haven't checked any trichomes yet but should probably start checking next week. Today was another chill late-flower day, I just gave the left girl 2 liters of pH 6.7 water, and the right got 3 liters at pH 6.5.

We had a good bit of strong wind and rain at he beginning of this week. One of the plants was blown sideways. This week has been hotter but he plants seem to be loving it. I was a little surprised that I had to start feeding these. I'm thinking the nutes were leached out by rain. I found out my ph wasn't as much of an issue as I first suspected. The problem was lack of iron. I added an organic iron supplement and it cleared up the yellowing. It also ph'd my nutrient solution to 6. The tops I took and attempted to clone didn't clone. It was a fun experiment though. Overall a great week. I expect to see some pistils next week.

Hello Diary. The second week of flowering is behind us. I did a little defoliation this week, I honestly didn’t dare remove more leaves and branches, I didn’t know how they would react to it. Maybe I needed more? The temperature is still high, sometimes rising to 29, 30 degrees, but mostly around 28. Humidity in the air is an average of about 55% but sometimes rises to 60%. The problem is frequent rains this summer which creates high humidity in the air and this affects the humidity in the box as well. The flowers are developing nicely, and they have started to smell as well, but let the pictures speak for themselves. The plants are big for my conditions, the 120 x 60 box size is perhaps too small for three plants (two Hulkberries and one Green Gelato), so the real jungle is in the box. It’s already a challenge to take them out every week for a photo shoot, but I try to be as careful with them as possible. The Hulkberry has reached a height of 113 cm which is on the verge of acceptability. If it continues another ten cm, I’ll be in trouble because the lights can’t lift more than this. 18/07/2020. - Day 30. Defoliation. I removed the leaves at the very bottom of the plant to make it easier for me to water them, after that I watered the plants but this time I didn’t put BioBizz, I just watered them with clean water. 21/07/2020. - Day 33. Watering. This time I gave them BioBizz, on schedule for the second week of flowering. I also added CalMag 1.5ml / L, preventively. While they don’t show they’re missing anything, I’ll keep adding CalMag. 23/07/2020. - Day 35. Photography and height measurement. Hulkberry Auto # 1 - Day 35. - 97cm Hulkberry Auto # 2 - Day 35. - 113cm That’s all for this week, see you soon.

Setted up this cutting of Skywalker. Having some initial problems with air and humidity. Hopefully is going to rain soon so humidity will rise a bit. Planning to do some LST and ScrOG. I'm helped by a friend because my skills are not good enough yet. Let me know if you liked the sequences! I'm trying to do some timelapse research as well. Raspberry is running the timelapse and compiling the video I'm trying to update every day or two. 😷7/12 Changed water due nutrients deposit. Clean start as the roots have touched the water. EC 1.5 Ph 6.2 😵Ps. light was set with VEG and BLOOM BOTH ON! Lol, hopefully this is the 5th day 😂

Hey Guys! Check out our AK-47 Goxuak from Genehtik 😊 we are very proud of and impressed by this girls so far! This weeks Objective; hardening off for the Optic 8+ tent. We will be moving her to the big tent in a couple weeks and the light is MUCH more powerful, so right now she goes under it for a couple hours b4 bed each evening. She has overcome some obstacles in her life and is thriving! It's kinda funny. We had never heard of Genehtik b4 buying the seed from single seed centre, and honestly didnt expect much. So, when the time came to transplant and we realized we were out of pots we decided to put her in the only container handy (we were transplanting them in the kitchen at the time lol) and she has thrived! It's really cool because we can see root growth through the pitcher. But we wrapped it in duct tape to protect them. Of the 3 autos we sprouted, she is the only not yet in flower (thankfully) hopefully the pitcher is large enough for her to put on some wieght! We are new to this diary thing so if anyone takes the time to read this and has and questions or advice please please let us know!! And thanks for checking her out! We will name her at flower Stats: Vivosun 2x4 tent 1gal water pitcher Fox Farms Happy Frog soil 2x viparspectra 600w refractive LEDs 2hrs,3hrs,4hrs 5hrs then permanently under an Optic 8+ Durabreeze carbon filter 4" inline fan

Today: 14.18 hours of light 100.4 °F 58%Rh 1 million of mosquitos I've spent this hot week training these two plants trying to keep them the lower as possible since the two main buds have reached the roof (7.87 ft tall). Cookies Gelato is about 9.50 ft tall. I've applied white plastic net all around the pergola to give them some shade in order to slow down the metabolism. These plants are giant and there is no more space to move around. Asparagus stalks are well formed so this is, hopefully, the last preflowering week. Cookies is hungry and some bottom fan leaves start to show chlorosis but the top/mid canopy is plenty of natural nitrogen. During these last weeks I've watered them with 4-5 gallons each, leaving the soil to dry for 2/3 days, they seem to love this scheme. Also, the fact of not having pluck away even a leaf made these plants big and extremely vigorous. Tomorrow I will create a roof with clear plastic rolls as the nighttime humidity begins to increase and some summer thunderstorms are on the horizon.

This week went very well, I was finally able to get the second toppings done today on day 35. I am hoping to get the final 4 toppings done in about a week or a week and a half, and then Give her a couple more weeks in Veg before I flip the lights. She is definitely not growing super-fast, but she seems to be growing nice and thick and sturdy with tight internodal spacing, which is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my grow, if you have any tips or advice feel free to hit me up. Stay safe and Blaze On!

Drunken Bitch Slap has been growing great bbn under the Hortibloom Solux 350. I just changed her solution today. She is in the midst of bulking now. Super frosty and sticky buds. It looks like vg it is gonna be a excellent smoke. She probably has about 3 weeks left till harvest. Everything is going great. Thank you Hortibloom, and Aeque Genetics. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Everything is going great Royal Gorilla is the farthest along . It is very compact and starting to get a little frosty. Green Gelato is the second farthest along. Doing well. It is very spaced out LSD is coming along. I think because it has probably double the branches, it is taking longer to develop HulkBerry was put into 12/12 4 days later but is looking good. Plant structure is very similar to the Green Gelato

Buds are growing day by day. The smell is still weak but very pleasant. We are halfway through the flowering, so the final countdown to the final cut down will begin soon 😎

hello folks Been a very progressive week for girls. Difference with Mammoth and Recharge is HUGE, flowers are stacking well nice...that never happened before. Either that or all 4 girls have some great genetics, or could be both 😋 Slight increase in Cal mag and Ph calibration seems to have fixed the issue. not getting anymore marks and the existing ones are hard to notice now. As canopy fills again, Humidity becomes a bit higher at night so I have to keep defoliating to an extent to keep the humid down in room. That also helps light to penetrate deeper & cooking the flowers under. compared to last week only, difference is big. Got to say Blue Dream smells incredible and the most out of all at the moment. In the face lemons !!!
