Day 64 Flower (Day 106)
Today is the first day of the 10th week of flower and I put on a powerful headlight and some magnifying glasses and closely inspected the right girl during the dark period, so the colors from the grow lights didn't fool me.
Unfortunately, I found another couple of buds with bud rot. Soon I'll have to decide to harvest the plant now and cut my losses even though she isn't done, or I'll take my chances and let her go a while longer.
I turned up my extraction fan, installed another circulation fan, and ordered a dehumidifier that will arrive tomorrow. I'm hoping that all those measures will bring down the humidity in the tent (unfortunately, I can't do anything about the temps) and prevent further rot. I will let her go another few days and see if any additional rot pops up. Fingers crossed that it won't.
The left girl is just doing her thing, but it doesn't look like she will fatten her buds. I guess all that stress in the tiny tent was too much for her.
No matter what the result of this grow will be, it certainly has been a great learning experience.
Day 65 Flower (Day 107)
Things are looking good for the right girl as I haven't found any more bud rot yet. Turning up the extraction fan certainly helped, not only with the humidity but also the temperature dropped. Not by a huge amount, but I'll take whatever improvement I can get. Today the dehumidifier arrived as well, and I put it in the tent right away.
The humidity in the tent has now dropped from the high 60s to a much more suitable mid-40s, and I hope this will be enough together with additional air circulation to prevent any further rot.
I looked a bit closer at the trichomes today and found that most have gone cloudy, and I finally found some amber ones (about damn time!).
I'm aiming for around 20-25% amber in this harvest as I'm hoping for a relatively "heavy" smoke - one of those frying-pan-to-the-head kinds of smokes suitable for late nights.
Day 66 Flower (Day 108)
Still no signs of more bud rot. Fingers crossed
All I did today was to mix up some more nematodes in water and then feed each girl with 3 liters of it at ph 6.4.
I'm not sure it was necessary for my main tent as the fungus gnats seem to have died out by themselves. I put in a new yellow sticky trap yesterday, but it was still empty today, and many dead gnats were lying on the tent floor. I have no real idea why, as I don't use any pesticides, but maybe the gnats really don't like this new low humidity in the tent. In any case, I'm just happy that the little buggers are gone.
Day 67 Flower (Day 109)
The bud rot is still staying away, and I'm getting hopeful that it will stay gone.
All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.4 water. She was a bit thirsty as I had the irrigation turned off for a couple of days due to the nematodes I gave them yesterday.
I've now turned on the system in each tent and will just cruise along until harvest.
The girls are already way over time, but most trichomes are cloudy, and I've started to see some amber here and there. Although, not much of a fade so far.
Day 68 Flower (Day 110)
All I did today was snap a couple of pics.
It's all just a waiting game at this point, and I hope it won't take that much longer. I'm ready to cut the girls down and have some time off before the next season is here. I plan to grow a couple of photo CBD girls in my main tent and maybe an auto in my smaller tent. We'll see. But yeah, first, the current grow must come to an end. It looks like the left girl is starting to get her fade on, so there's that at least. I didn't bother looking at the trichomes today, but I'll have another look in a day or two.
Day 69 Flower (Day 111)
I didn't do a single thing with the girls today except snapping a couple of pics.
What I did, though, was to make a smoke test of the right girl. Let me explain: Earlier this week, I had to cut off four buds due to bud rot. Out of those four buds, I saved two small tops after trimming off all rot (as well as plenty more just to be safe). I left those tops on the tent floor, where they dried in only a few days, and yesterday I decided to try a smoke.
Naturally, I can't say anything about taste as this weed is dried the worst way possible: fast, hot, and in the light. On top of that, it's not cured either. That being said, holy smokes, batman! This stuff kicks like a mule, which is why I didn't post this last night already. I was too stoned to care. Precisely the effect I was hoping for from this harvest: properly stoned and incredibly lazy. Boom!
Day 70 Flower (Day 112)
Today was the last day of week 10 of flower. Not much exciting is happening this late in flower, so it is primarily a waiting game at this point. I did remove the irrigation system from the left girl and will hand water her instead. That cheap system I had was too erratic, and I'm better off without it. Plus, I hope that she will be done soon-ish. She will never win a beauty contest due to her scraggly foxtail flowers, but I'm still happy to get something from her considering all the stress she went through.
The right girl has been doing fine all week, and no other bud rot has been seen since I fixed her environment.
I rechecked the trichomes today, and still hardly any amber in either girl. I'll let them go for another week, but then it is time for the chopping block. This grow already went a lot longer than planned initially, and it is time to bring it to a close soon.

Had a PH issue which almost spoiled the entire plant.
But fantastically I noticed the issue right from the start, so even though she became very yellow she's pushing through till the end and is back to absorbing nutes.
+Day 61 started flushing
SHE'S A TRUE FIGHTER <3
I'm happy that I managed to learn the importance of pH.

😿 well they held out as long as they could but 2:3 plants folded like a cheap suit.. a combination of stretch and crazy weight.. these buds are as dense as cucumber lol, even harder that the impossibly dense Critical P's we grew.. I had to invite a friend to give them a squeeze, to ensure there's more than 1 party to this fish tale lmao 😹..long story short the tent is a mess, we staked a few the best we could and made a few mains comfortable to finish on their side..we don't plan to move them until they're finished.. the next run in this tent will have to be aesthetically pleasing to make up for this hideous finish..*balance*..all plants are fading fast after cutting their feed, we're doing water only and they should be fully washed out come harvest ❤️..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone!!💡🌱 😽💨

She grew 24cm this week! Really starting flowering too! She's doing well. Nothing else to the report as I'm just letting her do her own thing.
I notice her leaves are VERY thin and Sativa-like!! 😍
For nutrients I'm using 15g of 20-20-20 mixed with 10L of water. Also added 4ml/L of both Cannazym and Terpinator. This brings it to around 1600ppm including ~300ppm for my clean water.

Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower)
Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to.
6/14/2023
Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall)
Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics.
6/15/2023
Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall)
Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday.
6/16/2023
Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower)
Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours.
Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water.
Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light.
6/17/2023
Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower)
I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track.
I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow
T-24 Hours until Chop
6/18/2023
Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day)
What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

week intel:
its time for second pruning they grew up too fast and need second pruning as below :
first i remove big fan leaves and only leaves then let them rest for 1 day then the second part of pruning will get done that is removing branches based on these conditions:
1-if the branch is very low and never can make it to the top ,
2- if branch is in shade even after pruning fan leaves ,
3- if there are too many branches at the small space then non of them will get resources so if there is no space for branch then , they must get remove.
everything is perfect!
stresses :
pruning big fan leaves and lower branches + a little E.C stress around 1.7 once a week
feeding:
i feed them 3 times this week with this order :
day 1 : i feed them heavy with silicate +base nutrients(calcium & micros + Bloom) about 884 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause a little stress.
day 3 : i feed them low dose of Feeding Booster + Karbo Boost around 325 ppm - 0.6 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused.
day 5 : i feed them with low dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 213 ppm - 0.4 e.c to let them recover the stresses to get ready for another stress next week.
guide of the week :
no more stresses from now on till the end and from next week i'll reduce the amount of nitrogen and calcium to below half to the end.

Willkommen in Woche 10:
Die letzte und diese Woche waren furchtbar nass. Ich hab die Kleine nach jedem Regen geschüttelt trieb um trieb also richtig umtriebig… Heute (tag4) habe ich sie wieder nach dem Regen geschüttelt. Dabei ist leider die hauptblüte abgebrochen… naja halb so wild…die Apple of Eden neben dran wurde gestern schon panisch aus Angst vor Schimmel geerntet. Da hab die Blüte kurz getrimmt und dazu gehängt. Die Durban poison wirkt recht robust gegen Schimmel.. bin mal gespannt wie es weitergeht.
Hab mal noch ein Video zum Thema von der Palme wedeln ergänzt…

Finally started seeing some baby buds! YES!!!
I really start running into issues with humidifier staying on so I've basically gave up on it, at some point around here I added a heater near the inlet fan and it's jumped the temp numbers up quite a bit
Some log entries:
1/21: Fed w/ 2 gallons for all 4 15ml big bloom, 10ml grow big and tiger bloom, 2.5ml cleankelp. all units per ga h2o
1/24: Fed w week 7 noots, trimmed 1-4, heavy on 1 & 4

High GD community,
Week 9,
Sweet Thai looking allready better then ĺast week. The topping start to grow gently and a full 13cm in height gained this week.
Since 3 days(friday), the lightcycle changed into 13/11.
Nonetheless spidermites are spotted on this lady, she doesnt back down. After a treathment with orio bugs, who i actually misordered because I didnt had my new microscope yet, trips are definitly gone, and orios do eat/attack spidermites, its not their favorite. So a second army of bugs, this time phyto mytes, its gonna be all about attack and digesting spidermites, Who didnt yet get crowdy so far. But after a check up of some leafs with the new microscope, i can see a lot of eggs and pretty active young spidermites. So the phytos will not come to early. Phytos do eat eggs as orios dont, so thats a big difference.
Thats it for this week boys and girls,
Thanks for reading and passing by,
Grow safe buds and feel free to check out my other ladies doing fine,
🙏🌿🌿🌿🙏

Here we are in what it will be the final week... I am now at day 61 and I'm considering to cut at the end of this current week... in 2 days basically...
I recently bought a scope that allows me to check the trichomes and I can see all milky ones, I also posted some videos of it, please guys let me know your thoughts...
Beside this buds are hard like rocks and smell still pretty intense and I cannot wait to taste this short but bulky phenotype.
I'll keep you guys posted if I harvest or not this week hoping to read some of your comments.
So Stay tuned, stay high!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Little update at Day 63.
I decided to give her few more days, so next week will be chopping her, this mostly cause I watered her last time on Day 61 and now I am basically just waiting for the soil to be dry.
I count to put her in the dark for 48 hours at Day 65 and finally chop her at day 67, I cannot wait to update you for the harvesting part.
I expect to reach 50/60 grams dry and I really hope to achieve that.
Keep you guys posted! Stay tuned, stay high!

6 plants temporary moving out to the new room until new seeds arrive
4 days later:
9 more (all) plants moving out to the new room
____________________________________________
light- and watering schedule: see photos

15 plants
3 x Auto Orange Bud > Dutch Passion (early80's)
1 x Haze Berry Automatic > Royal Queen Seeds (2018)
2 x Auto Euforia > Dutch Passion (late 90's)
2 x Auto Bubblegum > TH Seeds (late 80's)

1 x Strawberry Pie Auto > Fast Buds Company
1 x Gorilla Cookies Auto Seed Stockers (2015)
2 x Auto White Widow x Big Bud > Female Seeds
setup + strategy:
18 seeds
3 x Auto Orange Bud > Dutch Passion (early80's)
3 x Haze Berry Automatic > Royal Queen Seeds (2018)
3 x Auto Euforia > Dutch Passion (late 90's)
2 x Auto Bubblegum > TH Seeds (late 80's)
2 x Original Auto BubbleGum > Fast Buds Company (late 80's)
2 x Strawberry Pie Auto > Fast Buds Company
1 x Gorilla Cookies Auto Seed Stockers (2015)
2 x Auto White Widow x Big Bud > Female Seeds
setup:
18 x gronest 2 liter
60 cm x 120 cm x 180 cm (2 x 4) growtent
4 l humidifier
25 watt axial fan
15 watt clip fan
ro-filter
bath room with a 50 watts room fan (-> carbon filter not necessary)
...and a lot of odds and ends.
grow strategy:
max yield by stressing with:
1. tiny shoes (2 l fabric pots standing on 3 plastic rings (4 cm) for max oxygen)
2. tiny growspace (18plants on 0.72 sqm)
3. many strains (8 strains)
4. annoying neighbourhood (mixing old - i.e. bubblegum (late 80's) - with young- i.e. hazeberry (2018) - genetics)
5. no stress by light or food or water
6. unintentionally too much food
plus:
- no lst - no hst - just leaf tucking
- positioning bigger strains (euphoria, orange bud, haze berry) or just bigger phenos on less intense light spots (end of tent + edges)
- music-rotation: 24 hrs reggae (for sativas) - 24 hrs classicals (because it's scientifically proofed) - 24 hrs traditionals from the hindukush region (for the indicas)
max efficiency (min electricity - max yield):
- light: 23 h on - 1 h off
- keeping the distance of 18" (45 cm) and dimming to the right par (lux) - value depending on growing stages (see sheet: beginning 185 par ( 10000 lux/100 watt )/end 340 par ( 18000 lux/175 watt )) => ends up in approx. 170 watts in average over max 15 weeks
temperatur management:
- using approx. max. half of what the lamp can do keeps temperature low:
my tsl 2000 is pulling max. 360 watts of the wall - i need only 175 watts, results in less temperature than using a 175 watts lamp
- adjusting the temperature by using a humidifier outside of tent:
blown in humidity is soaking degrees and is transported out by fan, works much better than doing the same with pure air
summer extreme: no humidifier: 36°C / 35 rh - with humidifier: 29°C / 65 rh
works for 1-2 weeks of real hot summer days, no mould, no signs of stress in two summers
germination:
seeding in waterglass
spraying "basic"-water: ro-water (22 ppm) + calmag to 180 ppm every 4 - 8 hours until sprouted
man versus fungus gnat:
5 days before seeding i'm running the tent with "basic"-watered pots as if there were plants inside - led on, fans on, humidifier on. Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;)
rotating harvest:
the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in...
nutes:
biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix
bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic
+ aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive)
individual feeding schedule/once a week:
veg: 200 - 600 ppm
bloom: 600 - 900 ppm
water:
ro-water with:
veg: 100-150 ppm calmag
bloom: 150 ppm calmag
