EDIT: I've added some pics and video of my negative pressure setup to ensure no smells in my little 8x8 office! In fact, this room has the freshest smelling air in the house because it's constantly filtered XD This is what hospitals do when they quarantine people -- they put you in a negative flow room so any drafts you feel under the door, from the ceiling and windows, microscopic holes in the room, etc are going INTO the room, and exhaust is controlled through some decontamination method (I'm unfamiliar with that part of it). This week was a huge struggle with the clones. Self-inflicted. I was going to keep them in the buckets for a while, but when I watered them mid-diary-week pot A was not draining even though it has some decent drain holes and rocks on the bottom. I tried digging out the sides down to the bottom to try to open it up, I tried mashing on the sides and bottom of the pot to break stuff up... But it just would not stop being a pool of standing water :( So, I had to do an emergency transplant into the new perlite hempy bucket. Now other than a washed out soil/root plug about the size of my fist, I'm hydro in 100% perlite. (Manual Hydro though, I am the pump! :P) Been giving it MaxiGro since, and I think it actually really loves being in the perlite :O After having such success with the transplant for A, I decided to transplant B right after just because. But, I didn't cut one of the LST strings all the way :facepalm: When I went to lift it out I didn't get very far at all and the main stem snapped off, leaving only one fan leaf and some tiny growth! I figured since it has a healthy root system, it'd eventually recover / stabilize. So I did one of those "whistle while sweeping it under the rug" things, and just put it back the way it was. I've noticed a bit of growth today on official end of week clone servicing day, so I went ahead and transplanted B into a hydro bucket too! Gave it 2-7-7 cactus food and a splash of CaliMagic, the higher P and K of the cactus food should help it recover faster (or so I've read). We'll see how this goes moving forward. Even if it's a flop, it'll at least be a learning experience. I've moved plenty of plants from pot to pot, but never from grow medium to grow medium -- which is actually quite stressful and dangerous to the plant if you don't do it perfectly with all the precautions in place (like using gloves so you don't touch the roots!) I'm excited at the prospect of not having to screw around with soil any more. I can just rinse and sterilize (will use steam most likely) the perlite and it's good to go for the next grow! A shout out to someone I met on here that has been patiently answering all my questions regarding the hempy buckets, perlite, hydro nutrients, etc. I don't want to reference them by name because I don't want to risk causing them to receive a flood of questions from a bunch of random people.

Simplemente hermosos pistilos naranja y un aroma exquisito 💚

plants took the defoliation very well. EC 3.0 Lights at 80%, will switch to 100% next week Trellis installed

La planta se nota muy bonita y con cogollos grandes de característica esponjosa, sin mucho que decir presenta una presencia aunque muy poca de oidio

WE ARE GOING FOR POUNDAGE!

You walk outside and it’s a variety of flavors hitting you all at once. Cloned everything but the white rhino didn’t take so I’ll have 3 of the better out door strains for next out door season to continue learning this strain

Giorno 56 Ultima settimana di vegetativa e di conseguenza una leggera defogliazione. A settimana prossima 💪

5/7-D1...beautiful weekend to grow. Each new week will be on Saturday. I will be updating along the way multiple times per week. Giving averages for my conditions. D2-wonderful week of sun is scheduled in the forecast. Lightly misting and keeping the roots moist. A little water every morning should do the trick. Plant is looking healthy otherwise. Not able to care and maintain like my other plants but I'm hoping for an impressive yield without any training techniques. D3-very windy today, avg temp 81f. D4-hot and humid today. Avg temp 80f. Gave a little misting at the base to keep moist. *reached 90f today...woah D6-high of 93 today. Giving the base a good moisten each morning, afternoon and evening, as it has been so so hot D7- misted the base this morning, will continue to moisten when dry. First week down, probably 9 more to go.

8/25: On cruise-control. We'll see what happens this week, but all is going fuckin' swell, with ZERO complaints. My only change was adding an exhale bag to the tent, in front o fthe fan. I am not trying to reach 1200ppm of C02, but any C02 raining on my ladies is a benefit. Ak-47 #1 is in the tent and reaching for light. Another week and I should be ready to transplant her, a week after that should be harvest time for 1 of the other plants. I'll trade them in an out of the tent with eachother. The grow is going great. Tricombs are blowing up and I even have a hint of purple at the top starting to fade in. I figure 2 more weeks of nutes, 1 week of flush and we're in harvest mode by September 13th. And again, on September 20th. 2 plants are a week behind my main girl. Let me know what you think!

Day 76. Stacking up nicely, the buds are tight together making me anticipate greatness. Happy with the canopy work I have done, two toppings and my first scrog. I'm defoliating nearly every day to aid optimal light distribution. Upping the wattage pretty soon

A new week ... A new Luck ....

3/18/25 Start of another week. Plants just finished 2nd week of flowering so these most recent pictures are day 14 since the flip to 12/12 Some plants are only 28-30 inches and others are stretched up to 36-40 inches 3/22/25 R3 looks like shes going to produce the most mass. everything looks really happy. Everything looks happy and healthy

The buds are gaining mass really fast now and even the smaller plant looks good. I decided to take them inside because there is supposed to be a thunderstorm with heavy rain today. Really happy how they are turning out so far.

Back with the Lemons, Thanks for coming by! Day 44 - Height: LP#1 @ 36" / LP#2 @ 33" The Lemons move into week 7. They have a fantastic smell now! The scent in the room is a sugary, sweet citrus backed up by a spicy black pepper. I pruned off the lower leaves that were turning yellow, many of them were squashed and bent from the walls anyway and some were actually hanging off where they've been pushed about a bit in the space, but it's all good. The buds on LP#2 are really tightening up now, but they're really making the buds on LP#1 look a bit leggy, especially the buds on the side stems. In terms of issues, there is some pretty serious light bleaching going on in the tips of the leaves, but what's done is done, so I'll have to keep an eye out for that in future grows. Otherwise plants look healthy. Leaf Surface Temperature at the canopy is 25c, which is about 2-3c lower than the ambient temps in the space, so I think thats all good, despite the light bleaching they shouldn't be suffering from heat stress too much really. Hopefully going to see the buds fatten up real nice over the next couple of weeks before harvest! Day 48 - Height: LP#1 @ 36" / LP#2 @ 33" Day 48 and the Lemon Twins are really starting to get sticky and pack on the weight now. LP#2 can't hold herself up at all anymore, so I've had to string a whole bunch of wires up to keep the side stems vertical. It's nice though because it condenses the footprint in my tent. I did the same with my Kush from last grow and it actually makes my space a bit easier to deal with. I think they must be approaching harvest window in a week or so, but I'm going to let them run a couple more weeks at least before I start checking trichomes seriously. All healthy and nothing bad to report though! One thing I'm not really sure about and keep trying to research is the effect of light bleaching on plants. Mine always suffer from quite severe light bleaching or nutrient burn on the tips by this point in their lifecycle which actually comes mostly from the heat and light coming back off the reflective walls I think, as it burns the leaves next to the walls the most. My plants seem to grow well and look healthy in all other respects though and they yield well enough, so I don't really know if it's a problem. I need to read a lot more about this. Thanks for reading, happy growing and take it easy!

Waiting on some Xtreme Gardening products to arrive. Will give her some azos and mykos next feed.

This strain is fantastic to grow, another week down and flowering is really starting to show 🙏😁 untied them after last week's post and they have really reacted well. Humidity still isnt as low as i would like even with carbon filter n exhaust fan and a dehumidifier its sitting 58-62, all plants seem to be doing fine though thankfully. Starting to produce some smell now when in and out of the tent, god bless carbon filters 😂🙏 Excited to see what the next few weeks have in store. Have a great weekend everyone 💚

Day 78: Was gone a almost week but everything survived. About time for me to harvest the small plant Clara. And the. I will be able to get River away from the light a bit more and do some super cropping. I still have some water in my reservoir but probably won’t change it until it empty. I have not checked PH but I will do that later today. Day 78 Update: I chopped down Clara and hung her in the drying tent. She had some amber trichomes and I really needed the room. Total weight with stems cut as short as I could I got 780g or 27.514 ounces wet. Now if it is true you get a 3rd of the dry weight and I remove 7 ounces from the Total for stems alone. That is still 20/3 = 6.66oz. This is my guesstimate. I will do a harvest week after I cut River down. Day 79: Well a little lonely without Clara but I think River is liking hit just fine. Moved her to the center of the tent and removed the trellis netting. I pushed her stems as far as I could but she still needs some super cropping and tie down to get her a bit further from the light source. Cleaned and refilled the reservoir last night with new Advanced nutrients and it PH’d itself to 6.1. Not sure how long river has but I believe this is at least her 4th if not 5th week flower. Day 80: I have not had to do a lot the last day or so so this is just a general daily update. River is getting way more light to her lower flower sites now and I am hoping they bulk up now. They look pretty scraggly right now but I had the entire plant bunched up to make room before. Reservoir PH’d at 6.23 this morning so I dropped it down to 6 for now and added H2O2. I wish I m we how much longer River had to flower but my guess is 3 weeks minimum. Day 81: nothing new to report today on autopilot until harvest. Day 82: Still not much to report as I am still hands off in the grow tent. I don’t even need to really check my reservoir much other than to see if it is almost empty. 🤷‍♂️🏻🤪 I did however, get to try out Clara for the first time. I clipped a bus from one of the lower branches that felt the driest. It smokes really smoothly even without the cure. Day 83: So fat today I trimmed and started the cure for clara’s flowers today. I am curing in a 1/4lb grove bag. She yielded 92g for a little over 3 ounces. And 1.5 ounces of fluff and sugar leaves. Day 84: Still adding new pistils daily and the lower buds are gaining weight and are about the size of golf balls to popcorn, but they are starting to take off. Main buds are short but very dense to the touch. Filled the reservoir with fresh nutrients last night and we should be in auto pilot for the next week is so. Day 85: Today is the last Day of week 11 and I believe the end of week 4 flower for River? Could be 5 not sure. Still not a lot to report as I am still just letting everything ride on autopilot. I hope it goes better than Tesla’s self driving cars. Finally got a pic of one of Rivers lower buds that are starting to take off. I am thinking if they are still going by the time the tops are done I am going to try a partial harvest. However that means I can’t do a proper flush. What’s more important a proper flush that has a lot of debate around it as to its usefulness or a good yield of properly ripened flower? Day 86: Still on autopilot every is looking Milhouse. Day 87: autopilot just added some H2O2 to the reservoir. Took a lower golf ball size flower to dry and test.
