WEEKLY UPDATES:
9/20- π₯BOOM!π₯ Week Six of flower is here and my girl's in high gear, stacking her flowers and pumping out trichomes!
Today I watered her with 1.5g de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ added, then ph'd to 6.2 @ 72β. I turned her pot and plucked a couple of yellow shade leaves...the basic daily maintenance.
9/22- I didn't water her yesterday as she looked great and was 'praying' hard. Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72β which I gave her through her drip pan (bottom chuggin) and I also gave her pot a turn.
She continues to have a great deep green color that is beautifully contrasted by the snow white trichomes piling up on them! Her height has not really increased but she is extremely bushy with tight node spacing which will necessitate plucking some leaves to keep the light penetrating into her canopy.
9/24- We're getting close to wrapping up Week Five of flower in a couple of days and she'll be past the half-way point with the most exciting weeks yet to come!
I didn't water yesterday and today I went ahead and Top Dressed her with 2 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Gold Premium 4-4-4, 1/2 cup Down To Earth Bio-Fish, 1/3 cup Down To Earth High Phosphorus Bat Guano and 2 cups of Worm Castings.
I watered in the Top Dress with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72β and let her enjoy her meal! π
9/26- After her heavy watering on the 24th I didn't water yesterday and when I checked her today at 'lights on' and she still had some weight to her pot and her leaves were praying hard so I held off on watering today and will hit her tomorrow with her usual 0.75g watering.
~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! ππ~

Day 50. Gorillas goes by plan, Cookies is still a pain every time i see them ...
Control garden will go to green house on day 54, rest of girls will get 24 hours of darkness and will be forced to flower ..
Nothing good to be said, but i will try to feed them, hope nitrogen toxicity wont kick in ... Both strains are overfed very easy, cookies are overfed without food even ... ;)))
Lets see ..
Happy growing !
p.s. my old phones mic is broken, so put volume down while watching video ;)))
Day 52. Girls were very hungry, so heavy feed and rain for them. Lights where dimed to 50% while leaves had water on them.
Some Cookies started to stretch, inner node distance is huge, maybe i will have second time only in my life hermie....
Anyway, hope to switch them by day 55.
This grow i cant get girls to pray, its always somthing, growing is really hard sometimes ..
Good luck everyone ! Happy Easter !
Day 53. Girls sometimes looks ok, but still far ftom i have used to .. Couple more days of veg. CalMag next watering, still have some redish stemps..
Control garden will be moved to green house, too small, let them veg under natural sun, while those will finish ..

i used a low dose because for my plants even half strength is often too much, this saves nutrients tho.
Around 825ppm, 18 DLI, Ph 6-6,25
thanks to FastBuds and Terra Power!

Iβll update yaβll on the smells and tastes after drying and curing! So far both are packed with ice and smell very potent, a little overpowering still, so I want to give it some time before theyβre cures and can show their true terpene profile!

Hey ihr Lieben! Nach 10 Tagen Trocknung habe ich das Curing begonnen. Die Γste haben geknackt und mir signalisiert, dass sie bereit sind. Nach 5h Handarbeit war ich dann fertig. Mega anstrengend :P! Aber hat sich sehr gelohnt :). Trotz das ich dieses Mal anstatt mit mineralischem DΓΌnger mit einem ein Komponenten-DΓΌnger gedΓΌngt habe (Hesi Bio-Bloom), habe ich sogar mehr herausbekommen... Bin sehr zufrieden :). Nach dem Curing habe ich das Material in die Terplocbags gepackt und lasse sie nun dort schΓΆn fermentieren - das hat letztes Mal sehr gut geklappt und kann ich nur empfehlen. Danke an alle die mich bei meinem 2ten Run begleitet haben, ihr seid die Besten! Mir hat es auch mega SpaΓ gemacht und ich freue mich schon darauf, meinen 3ten Run mit euch zu teilen - mehr Infos dazu kommen bald.

She seems to be overfed, showing yellowing here and there. I might have messed up the Ph because I did not adjust fhe ph of nutrients mix. I assumed it was ph corrected. Now, I am adjusting the Ph and reducing feeding. Letβs hope that she recovers next week.

UPDATE:
- Day/Night temperature differential is starting to bring out the purple colors.
- Trichomes are mostly cloudy, just waiting on some ambers to harvest.
- Did some defoliation to allow light at the lower growths in its last week
GENETICS:
-Free seeds from MSNL. Being used to test my system.
CLIMATE:
- Ambient Air Temp = 27/28'C ~ 26/27'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1-2'C
- Night Temp = 21/22'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C
- Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night)
- Relative Humidity = 55-65%RH (Avg. 60%RH)
- VPD = 1.30kPa (Avg.)
- Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm)
AIR PRESSURE:
- Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = 1015 mbars (101.5 Kilopascals)
- Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = 980-1005 mbars (980-100.5 Kilopascals)
- Air Pressure Differential = ranging from -10 to -35 mbars (-1 to -3.5 Kilopascals)
LIGHT:
- 2x full spectrum CREE COBs
- At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 40,000-50,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65
NUTRIENTS:
- Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on)
- Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym)
- Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae)
ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES:
- Mostly getting out of the plants way and letting nature take its course.
- Some LST. (i.e. tying down branches and tucking large leaves away)
- No HST.
INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL:
Infection control practices i.e
-PPE, Alcohol Hand wash
-Gray room outside tent,
-Carbon filter
-HEPA filter
-Plasma Ionizer
-Inline UV-C germicidal bulb
- Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins.
- Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens.
- Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak
(No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

First week in the new Tent with the new lights. There may have been some shock going on in the beginning of the week as the plants adjusted to the new setup. I am using 2 1000W lights (165W each at the outlet) in a 2 x 4 tent by vivosun.
LSD-25:
Still by far my favorite. Had a few issues this week. Early on I noticed the leaves were really starting to droop. My watering cycle seems ok, I decided to let them dry out a little more. I then noticed on some spotting on the leaves. after doing some reading I decided to feed all three plants with some herb and vegetable food. It is a 3-4-4 blend. It also has Ca, and Mg. Noticed an immediate change and she picked right back up. There has been some stretching, Nothing major, I did screw up and cut off a flower, or a would be flower.
White Widow:
My second favorite this grow. Nice bushy plant. However it is not auto flowering, so it will wait its turn and go in the other tent with the other widows. i fed her the 3-4-4 blend as well. Did some defoliation this week, not alot of height, but overall good growth I think for the week.
Sleepy Yoda:
The slowest of the three. She really picked up this week. I think the PH being so far out in the beginning stunted her pretty bad, but there has been a nice recovery. I fed the 3-4-4 blend and did some defoliation as well as continued LST.
I added a time lapse of the days after the feeding. Shows some growth. Going to reposition next week to look more at the LSD-25/

Sheβs a looker- and not showing any sign of slowing down as of yet. Took her out, checked for dried leaves on her interior and snapped a few photos.

This is one happy plant, she takes any of the training I give her, sheβs eating twice a week now, around a gallon a day, just eating to be a real beauty, so so excited to see her at harvest.

The skunk apple runtz is still small but is moving along with new nodes. Of inremever right the leaves and just the way it grows reminds me of one of the parents of this plant and man that plant was awsome it just drank so much water amd was sturdy amd smelt of skunk and apples via the name I gave it
This past week, the plants went from being weak little plants that had just been top and now they are on there way to being nice and sturdy. I could flip them to flower now if I wanted. I plan on letting them grow a few more nodes on each branch before I give them the flip. My hopes is I get longer colas if I let it ride out longer in veg cutting off all the lower growth b4 flower. I have had the light on 25% still but today I raised it up to 3o% I like to have them handling 40% nicely before I turn them to flower

Last week of feed for this lady :)
Update end of week nine ,
Well the bud production this week has been absolutely crazy ,
She has now slowed right down on her feeding too , so the flush begins , she still needs too cloud up and go amber but she will have enough nutrients in her and the soil too last her until she ripens , she really has been a joy too watch grow and develop ,
I would not think twice about growing this strain ,

Flowering day 11
since time change
to 12/12 h.
Hey guys :-)
The first days of this week it looked really terrible for me because it was much too cold because of the unusual temperature.
The heating mat has now also arrived for the big tent and lo and behold the plants have been developing really well since that day βΊοΈπ.
The temperature doesn't keep quite as well as in the small box, but at least I don't get below 18 degrees in the pots at night anymore, even though it's only 16 at the top π
π.
Since I switched to flowering, it was time to rinse off a bit with Clean Fruits :-) .
Did them a lot of good.
You have already received the first watering with Grow Liquid and the next in a mix with Bloom Liquid ππ.
Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked.
Stay healthy ππ»
