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.

15.09.2024 DAY 20/1 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.3 Okay we are in Vegetative stage officialy. This week I'll keep the EC on the same level as the previous week becose following Athena program I'm supposed to keep this level ov EC for the first week in VEG. If I notice any deficiency I'll jump directly in week 2. For now the ladies are doing grate, it almost feels like they can use a little bit more fertilizer, but better less dan over fed, so I'm not taking the risk for now. By the way forgot to mention that now we are officially removing the supplemental LED and this little fighters are directly under the GML TARANTULA VOYAGER. DAY 21/DAY 2VEG RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 305 pH 6.23 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 I love to start training them as early as i cen. Day 2 and we are in LST. I don't plan on stopping or fiming anything in this run so basically we will see what is going the be result with basic LST and Scrog NET later in to flowering, when we put them in a separate buckets. Roots are more dan stable, Athena works amazing I don't know how it happens but my water is getting low and my EC doesn't change, they are so well absorbed and so stable in RDWC. I'm starting Stack this week and I'll foliar feed them 1-2 times a week. Probably every 3 days or kind of. DAY 22/DAY3 VEG RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 275 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1-1.3 I decided to stop the LST and keep the training for little later but accidentally topped/snapped one of the plants so basically it's too late and now one of them is topped. The good news is that it's early stage and it will have all the time to recover. Otherwise all the flowers are going great. I never experienced stems so strong and woody. I don't know is it becose of Athena or it's the genetic but this little plants in RDWC already have strong stems and obviously no cal-mag deficiency. I'll run 3 untopped plants vs one topped and obviously I'll have to gamble strong with scrogging and LST in the later stage. DAY 23/DAY 4VEG RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 275 pH 6.2 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.2-1.3 This strain is amazing and the combo Athena/RDWC gives amazing results I have never expected Root development on that level plus strong stems and leaves. DAY 24/DAY 5VEG RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 335 pH 5.9 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.2-1.3 Foliar feeding ATHENA is crushing it for me. I can't believe how well is working and this is just week one Veg. The flowers have strong stems and they go really healthy. I have started a foliar feeding with stack. I have never used foliar before and it will be interesting for me to see the results. I still can't believe the results only 24 days from seed pop. If we don't count this period it's week 2 and this is ridiculously fast. DAY 25/DAY6 VEG RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 335 pH 5.9 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.2-1.3 Brutal development so far one of the best I had, even the small sling (topped by mistake) is going pretty strong. Root development is amazing and so far everything is dialed in. DAY 26/ DAY 7VEG RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 23-25C EC 300 pH 6.1 Water temperature 18.5-19.5 PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.2-1.3 I manage to handle my environment, I'm still waiting for good heater since ACI still don't have it on my market I use different methods to keep my temperature stable. My humidity is pretty well set so I'm able to keep stable VPD of 1.2-1.3. I don't really follow the best recommended parameters, becose in my experience is better to be stable and more easy for the plant to adapt. pH is 6.2 I'm leaving it by purpose to fluctuate in order to be achieved full range of nutrients, so basically I correct the pH every two days. The root zone is perfectly clean and we'll oxygenated. Basically nothing can stop the progress on environmental side. The only question is do I want to increase the EC levels tomorrow. I'm one week forward in to the Athena feeding but it seems the flowers are more dan well so I'm asking myself with that well developed roots, can I push it a little bit more. I'll see tomorrow, new week new entry point I think🤗🤣

Week 10! First week of flower! I was eager and may have jumped the plan I had the other day of waiting another week but after some sound advice from a few people that inspired me to flip them to flower and watch them flourish!!

She wouldn't survive on 12 12 or would she? Day 2 of flower - I opened the tent this morning and the girls are reaching for the sky even more! I forgot to mention I made some fresh Aloe Vera tea/juice for the last feeding I did before flipping to flower..next run I'm going to try not using aloe vera on one of my plants to see the differences..I feel the aloe vera has helped my girls alot but I'm not too sure!! I made a video on youtube about how I made it!! If you have some time and are interested in making your own... Day 3..I opened the tent and BAM!! These girls know how to make you feel good!! https://youtu.be/ud9Yi-F5HSQ ( one of my high school friends band is called Katastro, Andy Chaves..lead singer, passed away in a tragic car accident this past year and it's been really tough on everyone!!

Momma Shark II is healthy and growing slowly by design. I’ve got the 400W ballast dimmed to 250W. Lots of clone sites available when needed next. Bowl design seems to work well in these 2 gal pots in a 2x2 space that should be able to accommodate 4 moms if I stay on top of training! The two trainees - 8BK and XXL and doing well with manifold development. I have 20 branches on each plant now. My plan is to transplant very soon before tying any of these down. Then start training them out to the edge of the 2 gal and then upward to create more bowl designs. They’ll be moving to the Mothership to join Momma Shark soon 😎

Hi all, Grow area updates: So I hit the switch and flipped the light to 12/12 to start week 1 of flower for the master kush. And also raised the scrog net and defoliate a bunch. Blue dream auto: Week 4 flower God her first real good defoliation and and a lollipop on the under the canopy. As you can from the pics. The bud sites are plenty. Plant def got biggger then what I thought it had to be tucked one more good time under the net ended up taking up space where another plant woulda be. Literally had to leave a couple branches still standing do to nowhere for them to go and I’m almost definite they will need assistance standing here in a bit. She literally takes have the flower area by herself. I’m stoked about that. The last pic from the web cam shows about how much I took from each branch For defoliation. Ppm at 900 Master kush photo: 1st week of flower She got pretty y’all over the past week the extra nitrogen grow really helped her have a Maher growth spirt. It got a lil hot this week so some minor leaf curling but nothing major. The new growth coming in looks perfectly fine. She responded well to the femming. So I went ahead and topped all the tops on her and she might get one more at the end of this week. She also got re-tucked under the net. Ppm at about 750. As always #StayKited!

Well well well! We made it to week 3 of flower and everything is just fine. Hahahahaha! Much excite! 11/11/2025 So here we are! Ready for a new week and some new stuff to look at. Over the last couple weeks we've been focused on upward outward growth. Height and leaf structure. Roots and nutes. (Had to tune there. Just had to do it.) But now that the stretch has basically ended, it's time to focus on the buds. We're going to focus on the lowers this run. I feel like tho This week we are changing some things. I've decreased the humidity down to 45% and increased the temp to 78°. I might drop it back down to 75°, but I've read you can have it warmer and brighter with CO2 in the mix. And I happen to have CO2 in the mix. So I'm trying it out. Plus, I think the plants are looking for more light. They are praying a bit I increased the light intensity to 90%. It should be around 850 PPFD. I know that's a bit high for an autoflower, but these 2 are definitely enjoying the light. As for the solution, it's stays the same this week. I set the pH to 5.9 as I have read a slightly higher pH is good for the flowering stage. Probably helps with specific nutrient uptake. Papaya Cookies is looking fantastic. I noticed that she has a circle of tops all leaning out and making a nice open canopy. As for any ailments, I don't see anything anymore. I got rid of all the leaves with any type of issue on them and am now at all fresh growth. And some of the older leaves just to keep some energy coming in. Thos of course wasn't today. But the circle of tops looks great. I may have to use the scrog net. We shall see. Lemon Cherry Cookies also looks fantastic. She has tops everywhere. Nothing leaning out, but a pretty even spread of tops all over. I did notice that she got a little bit taller than Papaya Cookies. But I'm not sure when that happened. They were perfectly level the other day. Now she's about an inch taller than her counterpart. Maybe a bit more. Something tells me this little lady has a bit more growth in her. I'm just not seeing it. Hopefully she gets over 24". That's what I want. 2 ft plant. I'd prefer a 3 ft plant, but I can't have everything. This one will do just fine. Tons of bud sites. Lots of light and air flow. Perfectly fed. I also need to address the fact that I won't be cleaning out my buckets this week. There's no change in nutrients, and I made sure to at least wipe the sides of the bucket just over the water. There's a lot of air and water circulation, so I'm not all that worried about anything slimy or icky. There's just no point. They are getting just under a gallon of fresh water every day. So it eventually replaces the older water and depleted nutrients. Anyway, rant over. Lol. Oh no! I just spilled my humidifier! Shit!... Well that sucked. Anyway, I have these new grow tent duct vents. They are supposed to block out the light and let the air in. The ones I got go on the 8" ports on the bottom of my tent. Good airflow. That's all for now.

buds are getting fat and smell is more intense now. the watering level is low and the leaves are yellowing so i won't refill it because the plant is near to harvest. I recorded a microscope video to see trychomes (sorry for my bad pulse) but enought to see that buds aren't ready to harvest, maybe the next week.

I started this week off with Topping and Lst training, only the lsd-25 are getting lst trained. I just tucked some of the leaves on the Lsd plants. The smaller blackberry is showing signs of deficiency, this plant been struggling the whole time. the gorilla cookies was either nute burned or too much fertilizer. So today i just watered all my plants with just plain R/o water

Happy 2 Months To These Lovely Ladies. I Will Be Harvesting The Purple Purple On Friday, I Wanted To Harvest It Today But The Soil Is Not Fully Dry Out And I Don’️t Want To Harvest It When The Soil Is Still Wet. I Bought A Pocket Microscope To Check The Trichomes And Although There Are Only Literally Only 1 Or 2 Amber Trichomes On The Purple Power Some Of The Upper Buds Are Showing Signs Of Overripe By Getting Dry & Crispy And Stretching Apart. I Will Be Taking Off Most Of The Fan Leaves On The Girls Scout Cookies (5gal) And The Gorilla Glue For Better Light Penetration. The Flowering 5 Have Such Lovely Scents Coming Off Them From Sweet Berries And Pine To Different Types Of Lemon I Just Love When I When The Tent Is Close Up And I Open It And All The Flavours Just Hits Me All At Once. The Lemon OG From MSNL Is Now Over The 100cm Mark It’️s Now At 104cm(Proud Moment). Height Chart: Purple Power: 28 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies: 31 1/4 inches (3gal) Stardawg: 34 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies: 39 1/2 inches Gorilla Glue: 28 1/2 inches Lemon OG: 41 inches How Much Do You Guys Think The Purple Power Will Yield? How Much Longer Do You Think The Girls Scout Cookies(3gal) & Stardawg Has Before It Is Time To Harvest? Please Take Time Out To Like My Grow Diary, Have A Crazy Amount Of Views And Not Enough Likes To Correspond. Peace, Love And Guidance.

Week 4: look at het flapping her wings. A tremendous growth spurt in the last two weeks. I managed to identify and treat some humidity and over-watering issues and think I got her dialed in right now. But, this is what I love about this grow journey, improvement comes being consistent in learning and adapting. Once again great genetics from Humboldt Seeds and the stability of Just Cannabis soil certainly helps lessen the impact of my noob mistakes and, we back in flight mode. Topped up with couple liters of PH water only. No nutrients at this point just PH water and living soil. A few changes this week; moved her to a more comfortable space. Dropped the light gradually throughout the week and settled at 40cm. Temp slightly lower lately but I managed to keep humidity idling between 65/75. Added an extra fan to the grow air to improve ventilation. Will be focusing more on extraction and dehumidifiers as from next week.

Overall nice strain the line has obviously been stress tested as she held up amazingly during a heat wave that saw temp rising to 33c at the worst. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys the old skool skunky terp profile and is looking for something abit milder in effect but still leaves you feeling nice and high.

We chopped down the plants. Now they hang out to dry in the tent. The Trichs looked very good. Some milky, some amber, hardly any clear. Just the way I want it. The popcorn buds were rather milky. So we have more of a couchlock effect on the head buds and the maximum THC on the popcorns. I'm really looking forward to the taste💚

It looks like the powdery mildew wont go anywhere with the spray I am using. Maybe cause it's been raining a lot lately and quite cold weather also. Had to remove some flowers and leafs cause they were infected. One of the plants seems to have some kind of deficiency as you can see from the picture. Is this potassium or is it a fungi, what do you guys think?
