The week looked as such: Nothing until Wednesday: 1 gal each pot water with gnarley barley ground and bubbled for 24 hours. Topped each pot w ground gnarly barley, build a soil special blend, kashi and neem meal.

Overall i would do some thing better that is all!

The girls responded again very well to the defoliation. Its now 30. days since i switched to 12/12 and i am very happy with the amount of buds compared to my first grow with Glueberry OG. 😍

During this whole grow I would say she was my favorite. She has the fruit funk flora nose and just beautiful bag appeal. Her coals were a lot smaller than the other girls but she was bigger and yeild was similar. I got about 3 zips off of her. I would definitely recommend her

Humidity variation 55-65% 💧 LST day 18 Tightening every day LST

(Expected flowering: 9 weeks) Germination: 24h 7/9, 48h 8/9, 72h 9/9 Transplant: 4(6)/9 not sure yet, some issues with overwatering, rot and previous week Paris heatwave prolly luckily i have some back up plant nearly ready for transplant in the veg area, so gonna use them to fill the tent empty slot this cycle.

Thats it, last fan leaves are yellow and those girls are ready, they still pack up, loads of new pistils visible, despite all going brown from low temps during greenhouse period. I start to see ambers a lot, they are not so leafy and i lost 2 main colas to bud rot, better safe than sorrow !!! Theirs calyxes are well matured all stems browny pinky, they made a journey in full in my eyes and as always i still hate yellow leaves, don't want to slaughter bud while trimming. Think two more days, then 48 hours of darkness and late sunday eve - they are chopped and wet trimmed. Thursday. Added couple closeups, but they are far better then in photos, bulking up each day, packing trichs like crazy. This time buds don't look so lanky, from airy leafy crap, they become solid nugs... Its my third different grow of this strain. First 4 plants and Biggest clone looked really similar, this ones - more Real GG4 structure, love it !!! All got lite pinky , violet colours . All have fruity smell, just not last ones ;)) they are wild strawberries + . Amazing flavour of early buds tells me final harvest will be fire !!! Have stupid feeling, taking them down too early, but my yellow leaves OCD whispers me " Cut, cut, cut ..." ;))) Chop Chop Day. Wet trim chosen, they are sparkling !!! Fat, but still leafy ... Found 3 budrot spots, two would eat big colas, but low humidity forced those leaves just die off without infecting others, so it was perfect timing. Happy Growing !

2/5 Week 6 May be last week of veg kind of depends on factors outside the grow. Lets hope Keeping the Si included and leaving nuets as is. Continuing to defoliate as needed to keep things civil in the small tent, Moya is crowded. Canopy is at 30" plants about 20" 2/6 Better plan! Found a table at Goodwill that will fit in the flower tent and allow two plants to be moved there tomorrow. So tomorrow is the day, two plants will remain in Moya, prob Jool and Zhaan 2/7 Aeryn is in flower tent flipped to 12-12 Jool and Zhaan in small tent, Moya, also flipped to 12-12 Here we go Feed set as above, keeping levels low at this point 2/8 Second day May reduce feed a bit, white tips One time feed of Kangaroots 10ml/gal Keeping things defoliated so the middle gets lots of light 2/8 Last attempt to try and get rid of those white tips. Further reduced feed but added just a touch of cal-mag to make up for it. If this doesnt work I am just feeding them and ignoring the tips. Flowering is starting to show, more on Aeryn being under the HPS than Jool and Zhaan under the LEDs. Continuing to defoliate as needed to keep bud sites in light. 2/10 Bringing down the nuets to under 500ppm did the trick on the white tips but can not leave things there so back to some sane level and I am just going to ignore it. Stretch is starting for real 😳 2/11 Since the tip burning is an issue with N, I am going to move the girls to all bloom tomorrow with today as a transition. Strain is absolutely sensitive to Nitrogen.

Short, Compact & Beautiful! Leaf mutation on lower growth (2nd node) Day 16: Sept 11th - Water w/ 1 Tbsp Molasses. Day 18: Sept 13th New Spider Farmer SF-2000 LED Grow Light - Lowered new SF-2000 - 30 Inches above canopy - 80%

Beginn Woche 9 Blüte Denke für die rechte wird es die letzte Woche sein, die andren 2 Brauchen wohl noch bißchen länger.

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

She goes fast and good yield, mine was a bit bushy but still the buds underneath were still hard

Start just water next week

Today I give her first food as fish mix and bloom

'Sup Growmies, hope everyone's crop is doing great! Buds! flowering has started and the first bud sites have established, my canopy is pretty even, and I am pretty happy with her at the moment, I cannot wait to see how these flowers develop! The tent smells amazing, I cannot place the smell, its not your typical early flower weed smell, most of the normal green growth chlorophyll smell is already dying down. My time-lapse camera broke, so i'll have to figure out something new because I really liked watching them grow. also added some extra shots of the canopy in the video, which is probably what I'll do next week as I find a solution. I also want another bucket, outside of the tent, acting as reservoir, I think next week I am going to turn this DWC into a 1 bucket RDWC, for easier access and more importantly better temperature control. Plus, this plant drinks way too much, I can't keep up, even with this massive 33 Litre mayonnaise bucket, I'll add a picture of what I have in mind.. Next week I am starting Green sensation, its a finisher, which will give this girl access to some much needed PK for those pretty flowers. Thank you for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your week, stay safe; and keep growing!
