Week 18, week 8 of flowering Final last week. Second week of flush, finishing with using water only since the 2 last weeks. Starting harvest, it will take a few hours to take down everything. Cellmax BIO Soil and Nutrients did a great job as usual, they can provide big quantity and the quality of an organic growth, making it the perfect BIO solution for your crops. After testing Mars-Hydro LED during a bit more than a year, using their SP 250, here is my feedback. Their LED has definitely a better light penetration than an HID. Under Mars-Hydro spectrum the plant is able to grow nugs instead of fluffy popcorns in the bottom of the plant. Mars-Hydro has actually the best quality price on the market.... so, in conclusion, I’m rebuilding the room with 6 x Mars-Hydro FC 6500 Commercial Samsung Multi Racking quantum board, nothing can stop me to reach the 2.5gr/watts now 😎 And finally, I would like to say thanks to SPLIFFSEEDS.NL for sending these wonderful genetics. I would definitely suggest and recommend this seeds bank to pro and new growers. The strains are stabilized and traits of the genetic mapping locked perfectly. I’m extremely happy with this crop, well done SPLIFF SEEDS 👏👏👏 ________________________________________ Stay tuned for harvest reports folks ________________________________________ For the new growers, in this diary is everything you need to know to recover from a shitty start, to catch back the delay, to avoid a Die-Back after the stretch around week 5 of flowering, see different deficiencies.... and finally harvest a great yield. ________________________________________ Thanks to the followers and for all the Likes 👍 Stay tuned my friends, I promise you an Epic setup for next crop 😎

8/5/23 - Day 54 - Last night, a successful water change took place. I've attached a picture of the bucket at the top for reference. While I currently perform manual water changes, I have plans to automate the process using the available hookups. Unfortunately, the unit was shipped quickly, leaving me no time to set up the automatic system before receiving the LEAF box. However, on my next grow, I'll ensure the drain and water inlet are properly connected. During this current grow, the bucket you see at the top is always connected to the drain as a precautionary measure. I can activate the draining process through the app, and after two cycles, all the water, including the water collected by the dehumidifier, is efficiently removed. Following the draining process, I fill the box with RO water, and from there, the LEAF box takes over and automatically dispenses the necessary nutrients. This automated system has made the whole process incredibly easy, eliminating any guesswork. I simply empty and fill the water; everything else is expertly handled by the LEAF box. The flowering stage is progressing exceptionally well. The plant has ceased growing upward, and the buds are now thriving and reaching new heights each day. I find myself eagerly looking into the box daily, excited to witness the changes, especially around 2 pm when I can observe the growth since the morning. It feels like Christmas morning every day! As always, I'll keep adding daily pictures to document the incredible journey. 8/9/23 - Day 58 - It's been a few days since I have posted. Thats because Shes growing bud like crazy. You can see the plant has focused on growing the buds because the plant has stopped stretching up and started swelling the buds. We have about 3-4 weeks until harvest. This has been the easiest grow of my life. Basically, I add some water to top it off and that's about it. I have been moving some branches down as they start to get a little to close, but other than that not much input from me. If you are looking for this experience, check out https://www.getleaf.co/

Day 77 from seed! Been removing the occasional leaf that's blocking bud-sites, or that's looking at me funny! ;) She's been getting fed 2.5 gallons dosage of the above listed nutes, every 4 days (when the soil is 90% dry again). Next week(tomorrow) I will be adding "GH dry Koolbloom" to the nutes at a concentration of 1.25 grams/gallon.

Медленно, но уверенно мы движемся к финишу. Шишки стали еще больше 😇 Наконец-то к концу грова доставили мой досвет, видимо буду мастерить уже к следующему грову. 14/05 Немного обрезал веерные листья. Верхние самые большие желтеют, дело идет к завершению. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

Another week down, time seems to be flying by. Can we just take a second to talk about the smell. OMG the fucking smell. Intense, bursting with orange, it's like I'm being waterboarded with Sunny D! Every time I open the tent, the smell literally jumps out, kicks me in the nuts, throws me in the corner and then runs wild all over the house. It's more of a feeling than a smell - You know when you arrive in a hot climate from a cool one and you step off the plane to that wall of heat? It's like that, but on your nose :) Nothing dramatic to report this week. Just beginning to ease off slightly on N levels. The week's schedule: MegaCrop: 4.75g / gallon Bud Explosion: 2g / gallon Calmag: 0.5ml / liter E.C: 2.1 PH: 6 Not really much to do other than light defoliation just to keep the air flowing. Buds are getting nice and fat and she seems healthy, I can pretty much be hands off from here on out. Catch you all again in a week!

Day 57 - The girls are bursting with flower....... looked abit light (the main tops looked a light green, showed signs of nutrient deficiencies), so upped the Dutch Master Gold One Flower, it's 1000 ppm now.... thinking about Defoliation... outside temperatures are middle of winter, 0oC to 20oC (32oF to 70oF) .... but typical high low is 5-15oC (40-60oF)......... surprisingly the LED's warm the tent upto 20-24oC, this is important point.... i am running the lights, 6 pm to 6 am... 12hrs lights on all night, and all day is night mode...... during the day is the highest temps of the day... and during the lowest temps, they have the light heat ....... Day 61 - I trimmed em .... this was the third defoliation..... things are starting to get sticky..... ah i'm just going to wing it.... they are 2 months (8 wks) from seed.... idk what i'm doing....... i did some serious stress bending today, and had to put afew tie downs in..... my theory is to hurt em as much as i can without killin em.... to make em harder, stronger, faster, more stressed, so they can survive anything..... grow em stronger...... the smell is zero in the home, but once i got them out for their 2 week haircut, they started producing some strong wet kisses, that were sticky and wet.... the aroma of heavenly ladies was abundant...... 😎😎 idk... this tastes so good.... it's like some kind of weird berry combo goodness.... i'm vaping vanilla custard atm and this is so good with vanilla custard.... vanilla custard kush n cookies... haha watch the video......... 😎

Monday, 14.03.2022 All plants seem to be almost fully recovered from phytotoxicity a few weeks back. They are stretching nicely and putting out new leaves. Numerous bud sites developing. I would have wanted them to be bulkier but let's see how they do. No significant rain this past week so I was able to feed a couple times. 8~ml per 5 gallon tap water Ph Down got me to around 6 Ph. I thought I would have needed to water on Thursday since two days had passed since I last watered but the plants seemed turgid and OK and Friday night was the same so I didn't water until Saturday. Found a mature stink bug hiding under a leaf on a stem top.

Since 1 of the Tropicana Cookies seedlings died earlier on in veg, it left a spot in veg set up. Due to temperature rising each day as we approach the start of summer, water temperature in Dwc constantly rising to around 25/26 degrees Celsius. Adding & changing out frozen water bottles 3 times a day! Unfortunately still rising over the course of the day. As much as Dwc growing interest's me it's just not pheasable to grow in summer with out a water chiller!!! Risk of root rot is extremely high. Lost a few plants to root rot last year in summer & it seems that the White Widow Auto had started getting a bit of root rot, even adding frozen bottles didn't help. Needed to get her out of Dwc before it got any worse. Since I lost a seedling earlier, I've decided to take her out of Dwc & plant her into the now vacant pot, that's hooked up to a top feed recirculating hydro system. Ever since transfering her she has thrived. Changed light hours for her from 24hrs on to 20 hrs on 4 off. Started to show pistills on day 35/ last day of week 5 veg!

I removed all of the LST strings, to let her grow more freely in her last week. She looks amazing and i am very happy with my first grow. I will harvest her next week or the end of the week. I won't do flushing, because I only use organic fertilizer and want her to grow till her last day. Some crazy Things are happening right now. She ist growing new buds on her buds! I decided to give her another extra week, just to see how this experiment will turn out.

Dry baby dry 😲.. Well I would Firstly like to thank FastBuds ( Especially Heather) for the sponsorship.. As a grower I now know what everyone has been going on about having quality genetics... You truly see the difference between the two.. The smells and overall experience with this strain was exceptional 👌 👏 🙌 😍 ✨️.. I can not wait to load her into the bong chamber... I feel like a kid again hehehe 😅.. But with all good things....comes patience... Which leads me to the DRY PHASE.... MAKE OR BREAK TIME ⏲️ 🤔 😌.. As growers we all know that this is the most terrifying part of it 😳 😬.. You can literally lose or even ruin your entire harvest during this period.. Room temperature and humidity is the key 🔑.. No sunlight on buds and so forth.. I dialed my temperature to an even 22 degrees with 70% humidity..

Day 71👋🌱 Started flushing. Giving ph controlled water at 6.2/6.5, I check TDS to water owerflowing from pot, bringing it to 50ppm from 400. Now I’ll start checking trichomes every three days, I’d like a 60% white and 40% amber. Day 72👋🌱🌱 Hi all growers, how is going? Second flush, baut maybe the real first one😎, i gave 10 lt of ph controled water (6.5) and was checking ppm from water coming out. i gave water unitl it reach 400 ppm, my water is 200 ppm, i hope i'll bring it to 50 ppm for next flush in 3 days. This lady is so fat, and tasty already i can smell chocolate and pinus, i'm sure they're going to fatten up 😋😉 Day 77🌱🌱🌱 🌱🌱🌱🌱 Keep washing it with ph controlled water, water now looks cleanest and buds are really blooming now, leaves are loosing color in favour to buds, i think i've got ther 6.7 days left to this lady cut. Let's see!!!! Let’se go!😋
