The stretch phase is officially over, and now the plant is shifting its energy toward trichome production!🌱 I’ve started noticing a light scent developing, though it’s still not very intense yet. I expect that to change in the coming weeks. I did a light defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration, and I plan to do another round in about two weeks. Interestingly, the fan leaves are starting to take on a slight reddish hue—curious to see how that develops! 💪😊 So far, everything is looking great, and I’m excited to watch the buds bulk up in the next phase!

Had a couple male parts pop up but buds are still swelling so im keeping a close eye . To far in to chop but not far enough to chop. Bag seed genetics probably are not strong ... o well ... buds are nice and should just be a couple more weeks left. Will probably flush in a 2 or 3 weeks . trichomes are cloudy mostly white haired pistils too

7/20: All three are doing great. I'm hoping to extend Plant 1's vegetation week so that the others catch up to her for the flip, which is eventually coming. I added RapidStart this week. I've heard great things, we shall see. More root, more fruit. Trimmed 2 lower fan leaves that were not getting any light. 7/21: Our time is drawing near for the flip! Are those........ STIPULES? 7/22: LSTing hard. Much good. Nutes niiiice. She's just letting me bend her all sorts of ways for that light. 7/23: LST for you and me, to grow some weed so happily... la la la 7/24: They are just perky tonight! 7/25: Last day of week 4. I started some bloom nutes this morning to prep, and tomorrow I lollipop 'em! I also got a new microscope for the trichomes later on, can't wait to see what's photos and videos I get.

***Attention*** Please note that if you only read my entries at the beginning of each week, I try to post pictures daily, with note updates as well. ******************************************************************************************************* Feb 24, 2018: I've decided to have a positive outlook on this grow, despite all the errors I made, and problems unstable genetics provided me. Though my crop is heavily seeded, the trichome production seems on point, I should end up with some decent smoke. It's a humbling lesson to learn, don't relax your attention at all, these wonderful plants are capable of extraordinary things when improperly motivated. I’m excited to pop some Nirvana seeds in a couple months but until then I’ll try to get the most from this crop. ... Feb 23, 2018: Just another day, might just do straight water feeding the next few in a row since I'm finally seeing some tip burn. Considering I've been going pretty hard with the solution ppm i'm surprised I've not seen burn before, I started in FFOF so soil was hot from the start. ... Feb 22, 2018: Super depressing news folks, it seems my crop seeding is more extensive than previously thought. I am just disappointed in myself for not catching the plant throwing sacks earlier. Even after countless hours researching, it seems that once again I am doomed to learn through experience. hopefully these seeds mature and then finish the buds so I can harvest. I knew the risks of growing bag seed and am not paying for it. Can't wait to start the next round. My next round will be seeds from Nirvana, their AK-48 and Aurora Indica. ... Feb 21, 2018: Did a bit more staking, with that thick canopy of branches was hard to see a few branches drooping. Managed to bend/break a branch with a golf ball sized bud, not sure if the stalk will heal itself this far into flower, but I clothes pinned it straight and will monitor. still seeing lots of clear and no amber, still a ways to go. Tested a lower bud on the plant that got heavily seeded and found the high quick, and just a hair racy but much better than the first tester a couple weeks ago. Only have taken 2 buds for testing 2 weeks apart, being this is my first grow I wanted to experiment and see how the high changes as the flowers mature. ... Feb 20. 2018: Watered with 6.5PH RO water with 2mL/gal Cal-Mag. Nothing much else to comment on, just watching the buds grow. One plant is going to be finishing much earlier than the others, not sure what to do about that since i was plannig on using my grow tent as my drying area. More colas are starting to lean, as of now they are propped up by the canopy, but will probably have to stake a few eventually. Getting a few orange hairs, which i've read can indicate less than 3wks to go, which makes sense as that would be almost 8 weeks flowering. Im not making any decision based on time, as the plant will let me know when it's ready, but knowing when to start my water only feeds is helpful. ... Feb 19, 2018: Alrighty guys, girls, and zimzers we are staring week 12 from seed and we are 32 days since first sign of pistils. I am now feeding full flowering nutrients (Fox Farm Tiger Bloom) and the girls seem to really like it, I've seen no evidence of leaf tip burn, to avoid burn in an all soil grow I'm increasing the nutrient concentration gradually, waiting at least 3-waterings before increasing from last watering. I've only had to stake up 2-3 top cola's, as the plant they are on is in front and doesn't' have as much support from surrounding plants. Although these plants were grown from seeds form the same bud, the different phenotypes are generating vastly different smells. I try to bump and move the plants as little as possible, every time I move anything the air is filled with a musky greasy and sometimes fruity pungent odor! **As a side note, I would like to point out that I have done almost no defoliation, the under canopy you see has developed naturally due to the plants dropping fan leaves as necessary. I have done some pruning of lower flowering branches, but these branches contained no fan leaves, only resource draining under canopy bud sites and branches.**

Our girl is doing really nice, the training was successful and now part of her is under ground and she is growing nice. I have increased the water intake a bit more 6.01.26 Yesterday I have toped her and she took it well, and finished all training for her, she is late looking really nice and compact now. 7.01.26 Our girl is doing really well and already recovered and redirected the growth. I have also Increased the lights to 70% and left it a bit more

Struggling to get good pictures for my diary at the min when the lights on my pictures are all blurred from the light and i dont like to go in there when its lights out time for them, i had to move the 3 mimosa and 3 tropicana from 1 tent to another and i think the light change stunted the growth for 5/6 although the 5 that got stunted have now bounced back nicely there just way behind in size to the 1 mimosa that took to the change of conditions fine, had a slight nutrient defeciency i developed inbetween weeks 2-3 and they looked worse for wear had me worried to be honest but everything looks nice and healthy now and all growing strong, PS the other 4 decent sized plants are liberty haze i need to edit the diary and add the strain in its also barneys farm, will try to get better pics and videos over the next couple of weeks as i approach switching to flower

So started the week with 4 clones. Not sure what happened but lost a couple. Lost the really squat strain which hermd the most. I do believe I could've guided it more slowly and gentler. But gone now unfortunately. I do have the most vigorous one and the middle one. Again if I wouldnt have stressed it so much I think it might still be here. Regardless we will take more clones when we lollipop make some reveg. Also I named the Cuts SHE HULK(biggest light green and purple throughout even in pistils) and Mystique(Not as many flower sites but showing way more Blue Power genetics with the darker wider leaves.) Transplanted 2 clones SHE HULK and I'll call her Rogue because my hypothesis is that in the position it was in and touching the squattiest plant that hermd the most triggered it to. But I will watch closely. Not rush her and see what happens. Have a Mystique clone but seems it may not make it. Again we will take clones soon. Think lollipop time is end of this week. Cheers GROWMIES!

Lovely shorter bush smells strong and lovely dence buds defo enjoyed the autopot more ill update this once dry

Final top dress and microbial tea this week

She is looking GREAT and the Smell is Citrus and Cola and she continues to packing on the frost along with bulking buds! I guessing 2 more weeks until harvest.

Hey Freunde, ich hab heute spontan geerntet (leider etwas zu früh), aber jetzt kann ich mich auf Weihnachten konzentrieren und die Trichome waren fast alle milchig, also halb so wild. 🤓 Für den ersten Run nach über 10 Jahren bin ich relativ zufrieden, vor allem in der kurzen Zeit! 🦊 Die Bilder sind Leider nicht wirklich gut geworden, war ohne Lampe leider zu dunkel, aber ich mach nochmal welche wenns getrocknet is! Ich wünsch euch und euren lieben schöne Feiertage und frohe Weihnachten! 🎄💚

This was when the plant was first moved to new grow space. I had to do a good bit of defoliation on week 4 as the plant was getting too big for its old space.

Compost tea turned out well and if your curious about the microscopy, check the comments on my GMP grow. No signs of senescence yet so no feed needed, they are in a second run of the same soil so there should be plenty in there from before. Not very resinous or smelly, with weird wide stumpy buds. Definitely my least fav pheno of any plant I've grown so far, but it's the end product we're after so she may yet surprise.

The last one application of trichomizer

Has been very dry, some cold nights this week and high humidity which is a recipe for PM. I found a few on old fan leafs had a few small spots starting so I remove them. My bubble gum plant seems to be hit the hardest which its still not too bad yet but I think it's having a hard time because I got hit by that tree branch. So in a preventative effort I got a UVC light, and I made up baking soda and peroxide solution and sprayed the plants down. I kind of got aggressive with it because I really don't wanna lose these plants. I hit them with the UVC light once then the next morning it was rainy and stuff so I said fuck it they're wet anyway I might as well spray them so I made a baking soda and peroxide solution and then the next morning it was still rainy and I put a little more baking soda than I thought I did. So I made one more peroxide solution to rinse it off. Then I hit the plant with one more UV treatment. Three days later I don't see any pm back, but I do see some damage to the leaves from my treatment so it was a little powerful and some of the hairs turn orange from the lake but I'm not worried about that. It's looking like this is gonna be early harvest, and after my work clothes with my indoor stuff, I'm thinking most of this is going to be pressed into rosin if i make there. Buds are developing nice and look really good. They are super frosty and hoping it's helping protect it. I don't see any signs of bud rot yet.
