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! 😎🙏~

Moved everyone in the grow setup. Put under a MH for a couple nights before switching over the 600W HPS. Going great!
End of first week of 12/12 and already showing pre-flower.
Slowing transitioning from veg nuts to flower. Keeping a slightly higher N ratio during the stretch

Sat 7/8:
- Transplanted a runted Purple Lemonade auto into a small plastic pot (1/2 litre), from 3 gal fabric pot. Put it back in the veg tent where there is more room. It is wasting space in the flowering tent. Suspect over watering early on as issue.
- Shifted a Grapefruit auto from the veg tent to the flowering tent to replace the Purple Lemonade. A little early, so it is on a pedestal to reach the canopy.
- Planted a Fastberry and a Gorilla Cookie auto.
- Harvested 20g wet from the CBD20:1 (8w).
Sun 8/8:
- Changed light cycle from 18/6 to 20/4.
- Fed plants, varying mixture by plant age. CBD20:1 is now only on water at every feed.
- Tied main stem down on Grapefruit auto (3w).
- Set up endoscope camera to capture the Grapefruit response to LST.
- Continued lollipopping Strawberry Pie (5w) and Kosher Cake(4w).
Tues 10/8:
- both the Gorilla Cookie and the Fastberry seeds popped. I’ve put them under icecream containers in the veg tent so they don’t dry out too quickly.
Wed 11/8:
- Small targeted watering with no feed.
Thurs 12/8:
- feed plants that needed to be watered.
Sat 14/8:
- Harvested the remaining CBD20:1 at 9 weeks, 73g wet
- Harvested undersized Lemon Pie at 8 weeks, 26g wet.
- Planted a Gelato auto and a Wedding Cheesecake auto from Fast Buds.

Expecting a awesome top shelf smoke from this girl, smell is mid way, a lot less than other strains, so it make a good option to stealth, but not the best. Superb strain, will update on the effects after dry and fully cured, high is supposed to be mild and functional, this is my first medical strain with high CBD, super curious.
---WET WEIGHT---
421G
---DRY WEIGHT---
95G just flowers000
---UPDATE 2 . After harvest---
-A -Jaring
After drying till the stems almost snap, in a rack, I separed the flowers, weighted and jared for cure.
-B-Vape report.
Vaped with a Davinci IQ, about .5 from the uncurred buds, from 350f to 430f max temp.
Since the begging of the session you feel this is a special strain, taste is 5/5 vapor production is insane 5/5, and the effect as discribed by RQS, a stress killer that allows you to funcione normally, think it as a mild relaxant, is what i was looking for so super satisfyed!
As you increase the vaping temps you feel the effects stronger, basically is a good body sensation and head tranquility, no paranoia, no confusion, no psychoactive stone. The side effects i feel is the classic dry mouth, not too strong though.
-C-Joint smoke.
Nice and smooth it hits with a mild sensation, very relaxing, no couch lock, mental trip or anything, i’m certain is similar to canna-tonic some how, very enjoyable, sweet taste tones of citrus earthy and woody.
-D-Bong hit.
Not a fan of bongs, i feel vaping gives a better overall experience, though for the sake of the diary, i did a bong hit to check, filled a full bowl and hitted mutiple times, the smoke is smooth, no harshness, though is a bit more intense than smoking a joint.
---UPDATE 3 . Final—
Well guys, this concludes my diary, with this final update.
After two weeks cure, i feel is already cured for the most part, one more week and all the cruise part will be done, after that it continues but slowly. It was fun to grow, and top shelf smoke. Note that is not a recreative smoke, is functional and enjoyable, i feel that if you have a super strong strain you can dilute in to this one and have a more controlled high. Smoking, vaping in multiple temperatures and i could still function, work, speak on the phone and think clear.
Looking for a Stress Killer, high in CBD, that will melt your stress and concerns so you can go on with your duties and enjoy a nice smoke, give this strain a go, and let me know so i can follow your diary and know your opinion.
Cheers everyone and thanks for those who contributed to the diary in any manner, or passed by. Happy growing always. 00

DAY 28 : Hi all , hope your past week has been a positive one with lots of love and affection.
I am at the point now where flowering should be starting to show throughout the plants usually. Their are many tiny white pistil hairs showing their female genetics across the bracts of them all now so it looks like flowering has begun !!!!
The FC3000 has really given them plenty of light on their perfect spectrum to develop those nice fat fan leaves and now will no doubt take them through a great flowering period. It doesnt produce much heat at all and you can touch it for a while and still not feel too much heat. Ideal for stealthy gardens..
The Tip Spreading has been continued up to this point and it is clear to see how it works on keeping the heights down. By using additional l.s.t that wont slow growth down like the leaf tucking and threading the growing tips above the larger fan leaves that are still being used like solar factories producing copious amounts of food for the developing growth tips. The stems on the majority are nice and thick from the close stacking of the nodes and their is very little popcorn to remove from lower down. I will be keeping them all as open as I can now that we are going into the stretch periods pre flower. The potential is there now to create very chunky bud stacks but I think the Strawberry Pie have ideas of bursting out more . !
They are certainly all a lot more happy than the bonsai Mexican that has emerged in #1. Still very short and half the size ( or less!) than her sister in the next bed. She looks happy and healthy now but her initial shock at the soils make up had a negative impact very early on.
Overall it has been a good week for their tip spreading l.s.t and setting them up for flowering and I hope that our next update will be the bud porn early stages. Be well and prosperous growmies

Day 75:
Due some heat problems inside, some started to foxtail, some leafs got burned besides being yellowed which is normal in this phase.
This happend because the outside climate, which heats the walls of my growing space and warms the fresh inflate air. The temperature outside increased by 4-7 degrees.
So my room is no longer 25-28 degrees celcius, but now is like 30-31 which is a huge problem.
This is the negative side of having lots of heat lamps instead of cold LEDs.
Did add an airco unit with a easy fix. Might change it into a better fix but I don't have much time.
After the pictures, I started removing old leafs,fixing some plants and gave them water.
I don't like to take pictures afterwards, it doesn't show reality.
See you guys next week.

Day 63: Another week passes and the girls are now building nice long Colas all over . Buds are looking good and smelling so pineapple/fruity now. Buds are looking nice and hairy without looking airy.
#1 In the organic soil is overall the widest and area hungry lady but her sisters are taller .
#2 has been quietly pushing her way through the middle position in the grow and has some nice fat looking buds forming.
#3 Is a surprise for me as I wasnt sure it would make it this far. No matter what I do , the leaf continues to look awful but the size of her and her now forming so many stacking buds , I am glad I kept her going now !. I do think at least 3 weeks for these ladies before harvest but hope to give them room to swell when the space is opened up.

Woche 2 lief ohne Probleme. Das 24-Stunden-Dauerfeuer hat sie gut angenommen. Dieses Mal wird sie nicht getoppt, sondern es wird nur der Haupttrieb defoliert, sodass die jungen Triebe immer genügend Licht bekommen. Ziel ist es, dessen Wachstum ein wenig zu bremsen, sodass die Nebentriebe aufholen können. Mal gucken, wie gut das klappt.
Für die kommende Woche gibt es einen 20/4-Lichtzyklus und ein bisschen Culinex, denn es gab gratis Trauermücken dazu.

Here's some pictures of late week 1 into week 2. They are still all in their solo cups. In the future, we'll try to label them in the soil so the pictures will show which seed is which. For now, the names are written on the sides of each cup - just can't see that from the pics. TOTAL = 6 cups, all different seeds. Here's the list of seeds that have remained since we started:
- Rubber Match by Secret Society Seed Co (regular seed)* x1 (down from 2)
status: first seed just didn't pop and never started growing. 2nd seed is doing fine. :)
- Something Good by Twenty20 Mendocino (feminized) x1
status: doing fine.
- Acapulco Gold by Barney's Farm (feminized) x1
status: doing fine.
- Purple Lemonade by FastBuds (Auto) x1
status: doing fine.
- Skywalker by NASC (feminized) x1
status: doing fine.
- ADDED: Glue Sniffer by Twenty20 Mendocino (feminized) x1
status: started 1x Glue Sniffer, and it is doing fine. (germination week 1 in paper towel)
BONUS!!! We found some more NASC freebies!! We have 3x of the Blueberry Cupcake x MAC1 by Humboldt pheno and Girl Scout Cookies (feminized) by NASC. So, we might start one of those if space permits.
To conclude week1, the current sprouts are growing in their cups. They are all looking comfortable and are reaching for the wonderful, southern sunlight. We're looking forward to the next weeks of vegetation and eventually transferring them into larger pots in a few more weeks time - all while we wait for some more warmer days ahead. One thing we noticed is that they seem to do much of their growing overnight! But maybe it's because we aren't looking at them as much LOL
