WEEKLY UPDATES:
9/20- 💥BOOM!💥 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 @ 72℉. 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 @ 72℉ 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 @ 72℉ and let her enjoy her meal! 😜
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! 😎🙏~

Still did not get to smoke it, will let it cure for a few weeks.
Many of the lower buds were very fluffly, in total there was around 140G dry, but around 40 grams will be kept with trim for cooking maybe.
So 100 grams dry flower is pretty sweet outcome.

Edit: 1st January 2020
I started playing with making time laps video. You can see the first trial video over 28h period. It starts a bit slow cuz I was still figuring out the shooting interval. The second half of the video is shot with 1 picture every 1,5min, and I love it! It’s gonna be fun playing with this! 😁
31.dec.19 Happy New Year everyone! 🎉
And let the show begin, the girls are half way and starting to show pistils.
I’m doing my best to tie them down to keep an even canopy.
The Ph got finally stabilized at 5.5-5.9, I’ll start getting it a bit higher next week 5.9-6.2
In order to accommodate them all the ppm seems to be in the sweet spot around 650-700 at this point. It looks like the Criticals could use more, while the slowest of the Gorillas... well, she is slow, so she needs less.
The temperature gets a bit low here, but won’t do anything about it, I don’t want to spend more on the electric bill then I already do.
I’m looking forward for my friend to come and pick up the DWC GZ so I can have some more space to stretch out the rest of the girls.
Oh, I’m working on setting up an old iPhone in there to make time laps videos 🤞🏼Just imagine watching those buds fattening up 😃
Happy growing in the new year! 🍀

PORTUGUÊS / BRASIL
Deixei ela meio largada, vivendo por conta no sol. Ela tem pegado tempo forte, chuva forte, sol forte, frio e segue firme. Ainda estou com o mesmo problema das moscas brancas. Elas não param. Tenho pulverizado um pouco de agua com vinagre e sabão para eliminar, mas me sinto mal de estar jogando sabão. Não sei se o sabão ou o vinagre reagem com os tricomas. se você sabe, me avisa por favor.
Uma coisa que tenho achado incrível dela (a primeira que plantei não ficou assim, e nem um terceira que foi plantada junto desta), ela ficou com um roxo escuro bonito demais e está começando a ficar mais densa, pesada.
Nas fotos e vídeos dá pra ver as cores bem, assim como as marcas das moscas brancas em todas as folhas.
Uma coisa que fiz foi adicionar um pouco de NPK 4 14 10. O motivo é que tenho outra de mesma idade e que passou por uns sufocos no início (nasceu de raiz pra cima e depois o cachorro ainda arrancou, milagre estar viva), como a colheita tava prejudicada, fiquei com menos medo e dó de testar então aqui eu adicionei bastante NPK mesmo em cima do meu solo super rico. A planta não reclamou, não torceu folhas e nem mudou coloração. Entendi como uma aprovação de que ainda posso adicionar NPK mesmo em cima do meu solo e que preciso revisar a mistura da próxima vez para colocar ainda mais nutriente.
Acho que ela ainda tem fácil mais de 30 dias pela frente.
Ela está com 68 dias
ENGLISH
I left her a bit abandoned, living on her own in the sun. It has been experiencing strong weather, heavy rain, strong sun, cold and is still going strong. I still have the same problem with whiteflies. They don't stop. I have been spraying some water with vinegar and soap to eliminate it, but I feel bad about throwing soap. I don't know if soap or vinegar react with trichomes. If you do, PLEASE let me know!
One thing I've found incredible about it (the first one I planted didn't look like this, nor did a third one that was planted at the same time as this one), it turned a really beautiful dark purple and is starting to get denser, heavier.
In the photos and videos you can see the colors well, as well as the whitefly marks on all the leaves.
One thing I did was add a little NPK 4 14 10. The reason is that I have another girl of the same age who went through some hardships at the beginning (she was born with the roots going up and then the dog took it from the pot, it is a miracle that she's alive). My thought was that since the harvest was affected, I was less afraid and worried about testing things. So I added a lot of NPK even on top of my super rich soil. The plant did not complain, did not twist leaves or had color changes. I took it as an approval that I can still add NPK even on top of my soil and that I need to revise the mixture next time to add even more nutrients.
I think she still has easily more than 30 days to go.
She is 68 days old

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

She’s still being babysat by a friend and so far she’s growing strong. Have a good stretch so the light was moved up a bit as well, also implemented some LST. Can’t wait to see her again.

Welcome, I've decided to practice a bit of video editing with my 2nd grow!
The Mephisto community have nicknamed double grape x Skywalker, a fairly popular freebie cross, Mace windu. As a huge Samuel L Jackson fan its a perfect strain name for me. Hoping I can keep the weeks interesting! Enjoy

This week #2 has fattened up a fair bit. Earlier in the week I tried a technique called backbuilding which I never heard of before which involves snipping of the very top of bud growth late in flower to encourage fat buds rather than stretchy ones. Left a couple as they were to compare. I am giving this one plain water from now till the end.
#1 is progressing. The bottom of the plant has totally disappeared haha, hopefully the GHE nutes will save the top. Due to lacking nitrogen during its extended veg period which I wasn't planning for; thought it would start flowering anytime! Looks a lot more frosty than #2 did at this point. Should be a good harvest none the less considering how it has had the top cut off and the deficiencies.

Welcome back all, following a week that has been a fairly straight forward seven days or so in Fat Yappa's Garden, as the older Bruce Banners reach day 51, day 44 for the runt of the sisters, planted on the same day but that took a week longer to germinate, and day 42 for the two Wedding Cheesecake's, one growing in Coco Coir, the other in the same living soil as her Bruce Banner Fastbuds cousins.
The week began with last weeks humidity issues brought well and truly into hand with the addition of the new 20L dehumidifier from Meaco, specifically designed for the UK weather. However a shift in the aforementioned from the falls dawn of an early spring, to a return to more usual climate conditions for this time of year through things off kilter once again. Despite pulling around 6L of water out the air a day, she was struggling to keep the RH down to around 50% with my central heating returned to its usual position of 18c, but an increase to 20c has taken things back in line, and the humidity has returned to the mid 40's I was aiming for.
Humidity concerns during this off period however, and a subsequent inspection below the top layer of the canopy, which resulted in the discovery of quite a lot of whitish, moist growth, prompted a mass defoliation, mostly of the Bruce Banners. I had been performing very light defoliation up until this point, only removing dead/almost dead leaves, and very select leaves from the top of the canopy that were blocking what looked like bud sites, but the lack of light and air getting through past the top layer, together with the fact that now bud sites are far clearer to a novice such as I, lead me to the conclusion that the time was right. Besides the runt, all these plants have not even skipped a beat. The runt has been a bit droopier in her leaves than the others all in all, but I have looked in on them and seen her with leaves pointing up and praying a few times since so I trust all is well.
Following the defoliaton on day 47, the plants stuck to their two day watering schedule, but di threatened to need an increase to daily, as day 50 saw waterings a mere 24hrs after the previous day, but feeling the weight of the pots yesterday I elected to wait til 48 hours to water again. The water amounts per plant has also become more erratic than previously, so I have been watering more carefully.
Other than that the week has been pretty much plain sailing, and what look like to be some big looking flowers coming up all over the canopy, as all bar the Wedding Cheesecake in living soil are now fully in flower, but she will be there by next week. The Bruce banner I accidentally snapped the top off from the second node down doing LST a few weeks ago seems to be about half a week ahead of the other two of the same age, and trichomes have began to appear on the leaves around the buds. The biggest plant in the tent is still the wedding Cheesecake in Coco coir, as she now stand a metre tall and her top is the same level as the light now. Her size is a concern because it has caused me to neglect her in favour of the other plants, certainly in terms of light, but she doesn't seem to have any more bud sites than the other plants, and for the time being at least, her older cousins are leaving her to shame in this department, but she still has a week to catch up.
Lastly, day 39 saw another compost tea feeding, the same recipe as last time.
Happy growing everyone, and I will catch you all again next week.

I put 328 grams of wet bud into my dry tent, my target variables are 60F/60RH for 2 week, with the current temps and high out side humidity we are averaging 66F/58%RH so not to far off - these buds will probably be done at 10 days - looking forward to updating this as harvest report when I trim up.

This week started out by hooking the autopot res up to begin the gravity feeding, the roots have had plenty of time to establish and give the autopot plenty to work with.
Ive also topped the plants, and thinned down the huge fan leaves, these were acting like an umbrella keeping light out out. Already new growth is kicking in and the plants are responding really well to the prune and gravity feeding.
The rest of this week is all about tlc and recovery, and what i mean by that is ill be leaving them well alone and giving them some privacy along with some peace and quite while they settle back down and recover their injuries 👍

Wish the buds would have got a little bigger but feel like that’s particularly my fault for a short Veg but overall I am blow away by the outcome for all the seeds to just be random bag seeds! 2 of the plants are drying now 3rd one will be cut tomorrow & the other 2 got probably 2 more weeks! Will do a taste & smoke report and also give a weight as soon as they dry & cure a little bit but honestly couldn’t be happier with my first grow! Thanks for all the support & help along the way & happy growing friends!🤙🏼✌️🏼🌱
Update on 1st plant - dry weight 42g, still smelled pretty Earthy when I put it in the jar but the smell is definitely coming out now, extremely sticky & frosty buds❄️: 1:🏼🙏🏼
Update - plant 2 Dry weight was 40 grams! Extremely happy with the out come this is honestly some of the best bud I have ever smoked! Amazing to me this came from a random bag seed, it has a very citrusy flavor, smells & smokes amazing! Honestly a 10/10 in my book, wish I could knew what strain this was so I could grow it again!😫❄️✌️🏼🌱
Update - plant 3 Dry weight 34g, smells & look phenomenal, the buds are much smaller & had the smallest yield so far but this is by far the best smelling so far! Will have a smoke update on this one soon, stay tuned friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱
Update - plant 5 dry weight was 52g it dried a little faster than plant 4 which I will probably jar tomorrow! Will update again with a smoke report soon, this plant brought my total so far up to 168 off 4 plants👍🏼 Thanks for following friends & happy growing! Also the butter I made from the trim was 🔥🔥

Looking stunning and have so far remain short and stocky. Did plenty of defoliation and will scrog them for fat colas. Flipped the switch and week 1 flower is in the books.
