Had a great week. ILGM has always been a strong grower for me. I've grown a few different strains from ILGM and they always grow very well. She went from 8 inches to 16 inches this week. I topped her about 3-4 days ago. She recovered from the topping very well and has new growth so she is doing as well as I could want. No problems to talk about this week 😀. Onto week 5.

This week we saw an incredible ammoubt if growth thanks to the beautiful sun we’ve had. I had to cover her over with a tarpaulin to give some shade at the highest points of the day as she was having some heat stress issues. Had the chance to give to do really Useful LST. As you can see in the pics the canopy has opened up well. Looking forward to seeing how she goes. Also this morning I noticed there are some pistils this means we are now entering flowering stage so I will begin to add some biobizz bloom and a little extra fish mix. During the first weeks of flowering all plants usually have a growth spurt! Autoflower a may only be a week or two but photoperiods can go upto 5weeks.

Heavy defoliation taking place this week as I am trying to expose the bud sites to more lights. I am taking out most major fan leaves and leaves that are blocking bug sights. I also somewhat lilipopped these plants to remove the larfy bud sites that we being produced at the bottom of the plant to focus more top bud site growth.

This lady has bushed out really well. She is still the same height as the rest but that's all about to change as she has now been put into flower. A long flower period ahead but I'm hoping that the claims the light manufacturers have made about the deep and far reds quickening harvest are true 🤞

Totaly forgot to take some pics from the dutch passion strains this week... all I got is a group photo and short video! Could have been a bit more hands on with the training but seems a like a nice and even canopy it´s emerging 😍 Defoliated a bit and trimmed the lower branches.

Esta semana he añadidos los quelatos para limpiar las raices y e bajado la temperatura a 24 grado para que los cogollos compacten. Todas las plantas estan colmadas de resina asta el ultimo cogollo de abajo. En el video se puede ver como las plantas estan sujetas por el tutor del peso de los cogollos si no se troncharia.. La semana que biene añadiremos agua con un EC de 0.3 y cortaremos alfinal de la semana por el color que tienen los tricomas.💯🙌👽💜

(Days 28-35) (Day 29) Everything seems to have recovered fine from topping so I transplanted into their 1.7 gallon pots. They were pretty rootbound so this should make them nice and happy. Going to start LST after recovery. Got a ton of holes poked around the rim of the bucket which should make tying down easier. I’ve been asking around on some forums and reading some articles and I’ve decided to switch out my MH bulb for the included HPS bulb. Apparently HPS bulbs will stretch the nodes out quite a bit more and provide higher PAR value for the same amount of electricity. My plants are looking pretty small for day 29. Although, that could just be from stuffing 15 plants under one 250-400w light. I’ve been powering the lights up to 400w at night and back down to 250 during the day. 400 just gets it too hot during the day (86-88) without ventilation. That temperature should be fine in veg once my co2 has really built up some mycelium. (Day 32) Just got 14/15 topped. The BCTG runt is just going to be lst’d and not topped or fimmed. I decided to just fim the plants I started later so they’d have a bit more time to recover and catch up to the others. I also LST’d all 9 quite well. Almost had a stem break but she’s doing just fine now. The deformed bbb was accidentally fimmed and as a result it’s got a very trippy looking main stem that has branched off into 6 mains. I definitely have fungus gnats. Fuckers must have got in with that coco I bought from hydro store. This has never happened to me with just promix but the benefits of coco are too much to pass up. I might order an OG BioWar/capsbennies/grubgrenade to help naturally get rid of them. I’m getting some confirmed yellowing on bottoms of the zkittlez and WW’s. They must be heavy feeders because no other plant in the tent is getting yellow like that. I’m going to feed a compost tea, top dress everything at full strength and mulch in some worm castings to help break it down faster. Will also do a foliar spray with some insect frass, microbes and m1pps. (Day 33) Got some more of that marine phytoplankton stuff to help stabilize my RO water. It’s got a good amount of soluble magnesium and trade minerals in it so that should help stop the yellowing on the zkittlez and WW. (Day 34) Things are looking great so far and they’re all recovered from topping/transplant/lst and thriving. Some slight yellowing and a few of the plants are cupping from heat and high humidity. I just put in a dehumidifier to help bring the rh down. The m39/zkittlez bagseed plant is just outpacing everything in the tent by 4-6 days. No wonder organized crime used to grow it. I hear it can completely flower in 45 days with a solid yield and very little trimming or leaf matter. It’s very weak on the high and smell though. Nonetheless it should be nostalgic to try those old terps. There is still a small chance that it’s a super vigorous zkittlez plant too. Plants should be showing sex this coming week. Hoping for 8+ fems but I can make do with just 4. 1-3 is unlikely but that would piss me off beyond belief. I’ve heard of it happening though.

Aquí vamos en la tercera semana se floración 🤙 Mr Hide Seeds dice que las Kritical Red se cosechan a los 60 días y estamos en el día 47, no creo que estén totalmente desarrolladas y listas en 13 días. Se agregó a la lista de nutrientes C4 de Mills, esto también a modo de prueba y acompañamiento del bioestimulante Everest que ya se venía usando. La planta más grande y desarrollada está presentando al parecer deficiencia de potasio, seguramente está comiendo mucho. Ya lleva dos días con una cuota más alta y ya presenta mejoría. Otra planta está muy oscura las hojas, la estamos dejando sin alimento 3 días para ver si corrije. Las lluvias han parado y se ha estado usando agua del grifo directa sin reposar. Buenos humos 🚬

I am very happy with the Chiquita Bananas in the end. Clones were total seed factories but I think we may have a go at making some hash with those as the foot long buggers are caked in crystal.. 62g and 63g . Plant 1 is just a monster for me 365g wet. Long dense buds thick dank smell of tropical sweets. Not as much seed as I thought there would be so glad I was convinced to push her a bit more. Plant 2 is smaller but has taken a pure turn in the last week.i don't think she was stressed at Al. I did switch to just water for last 10 days but apart from that I dunno. I don't think she has any thing with pure in her genetics but either way she looks beautiful. 169g wet from her. Everything is drying for the next 10 days when I shall report back. Happy grows.🌿🌱👊 Stay safe.😷

📋Summary of previous week Previous week, the plants grew steadily under a 21-hour light schedule, with the lamp at 80cm and dimming adjusted from 55% to 60%. The average temperature was 20.5°C and humidity 72%. Watering included 300ml per plant with Bio Rhizotonic on 21/02, a light misting on 23/02, and 1L of bottom watering on 24/02, and another 300ml of plain water on 26/02. Overall, a smooth week with good development! 📈 🌱Heights at the beginning and at the end of the previous week: -#R01: 15cm - 19,5cm = +4,5cm -#R02: 10cm - 12cm = +2cm -#R03: 7cm - 10,5cm = +3,5cm (#R03 Backup Seed, 5Days Behind) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3️⃣Week Vegetation: 28/02 - 07/03 💡 Light schedule: 21 hours (06h30-03h30) 📏 Lamp To Plant Distance: 80cm ⚡ Dimming: 65% 🌡️ Average temperature: 20,5° ☔ Average humidity: 72% 🌱Height: - #R01: 19,5 cm - #R02: 12 cm - #R03: 10,5 cm (Backup Seed, 5Days Behind) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #28/02/2025 Today, I only moistened the surface. Tomorrow, I’ll probably do a proper watering. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #01/03/2025 I bottom-watered with 500ml of water and added 300ml around each plant. 💧 --------------------------------------------------------------------- #03/03/2025 Today, I diluted 10g of Bactomatik Rex by Agrobacterias in 4L of water and watered the three girls. Approximately 1.3L per plant 💦 This will probably be the last watering, I'll just use a spray to keep the surface moist for the rest of the week. 💚 #Bactomatik Rex by Agrobacterias # #COMPOSITION -N-2% -P-1% -k-2.5% -Amino acids: 10% -Organic matter: 35% -Paenibacillus azotoformans, Bacillus azotofixans, B. coagulans, B. megaterium, LactobacillusLus acidophilus, B. pumilus y Sacharomyces cerevisiae. --------------------------------------------------------------------- #05/03/2025 I'm facing some issues—before the last watering, the plants started showing yellowing on the leaves of the new branches. I believe I prepared the SuperSoil layer too hot, and as the roots reached the over-fertilized layer, they got affected. Some suggestions pointed to a nitrogen deficiency, but I don’t think that’s the case. I applied a good watering with Bactomatik, which contains 2% nitrogen and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This was already a planned watering, and while the plant started stretching a bit, I haven’t noticed any improvements in leaf coloration yet. I’ll keep monitoring closely to see how it recovers. But If anyone has a suggestion pointing in a different direction, I'm here to listen! 👂 Over the next two days, I’ll start with LST, so that within 1-2 weeks, I can set up the SCROG net.

I received some great tips here. For starters by suggestion I have lowered my day-time temps to between 75-78 degrees and my night-time temps to between 65-68 degrees. I had no intentions of trimming/defoliation anymore. So far she's adjusted well. Ive adjusted to only watering from the bottom instead of top watering.

This week marks the final phase of flowering for both strains, and it’s been an incredible run. The colas are fully swollen, trichomes are mostly cloudy with around 10–15% amber, and the terpene intensity is off the charts. Every movement near the canopy releases that unmistakable scent — fruity, spicy, and heavy with resin. 24K Gold is showing her signature golden hues now. The buds are compact, sticky, and sparkling with trichomes. Pistils have mostly turned orange and curled in tightly, showing clear maturity. Gelato 33 looks equally stunning — thick, frost-covered buds with a creamy-sweet scent and purple undertones emerging under the lights. Her structure remained open enough to prevent mold despite the high density. Both plants handled the last nutrient increase (8 ml/L Canna Coco A+B) perfectly — no signs of stress or nutrient burn. From here, they’re transitioning into the flushing phase, allowing the remaining nutrients to fade out for a cleaner, smoother finish. Environmental conditions: • 🌡️ Temperature: 25.0–25.3 °C • 💧 Humidity: 52–53 % • 🌫️ VPD: 1.3–1.34 kPa • 💨 Airflow: Steady and dry for the final days This week’s update also includes defoliation and trimming before drying — the canopy has opened up nicely, and the buds are ready for harvest. The next entry will focus on flushing, fade, and drying results.

167 grams for 2 plants. went 9 weeks, Had a bit budrot in one of the phenos at week 10. Very easy to grow, not a big stretcher imo. Maybe double it size. Havee a gassy pheno and a fruity pheno. If you look for a outstanding indica with extra on the taste e and smell and a heavy hitter...search no further

She is getting big and her buds seems to get red, as i hoped. She produces many leaves and its hard to keep up defoliating especially in the lower parts. Her smell is really sweet and pleasant and i´m happy with my choice. 💪😋

10.04.25 day 38. Plants are progressing nicely. Decided to defoliate today. As stated previously I mixed up plants so don't know which is name is for what plant. I think plant in back is chemdawg as it has a grow time of 9-10 weeks while other have 8-9 weeks. Both plants in front are more sativa so maybe tropican cookies. The struggling plant had purule stripe in flower so maybe banana purple punch or lemon cherry cookies. Will continue observations and try to figure out name.

Things are getting dense and kind a wild 😜🤩😅 but all looking as it should 😊 They are stretching and with the colors we want for this fase, I’m trying to get to day 20/21 for mass defoliation, but if they keep growing like this i think sooner than that my hands will be all over them 😈😇 let’s see how they evolve and grow 😌 For now i’m keeping my vpd at 1.1kPa, my ppfd around 700 uMol/m2/s this gives me more or less a DLI of 27.72 , my Co2 is at 850ppm 5x White Mango 5x Alasken Purple 4x Blueberry 3x SAD S1 3x Badazz Cookies 10 in total for a 4x8x6 - 1,2x2,4x2 Light Lumatek Zeus 465W compact pro 2x at 100% All i Grow is medicine for myself, Stay safe, stay tuned and B Happy and do it for the love Peace ✌️ D
