Howdy growfessors 👽, chopped down two LSD, what a great strain! One of these two ladies performed way better than the other and I'm excited to see just how much more weight and bud she packed on. Thanks for stopping by growfessors 👽🌳💚 July 11 update, one LSD plant 92 grams, the second plant 95 grams, 187 total. Plants have a great fruity, berry taste and great heady high.

Day 44 this Girl Scout Cookies auto had its light intensity increased! I placed a 9" tall pale under the pot, to get the plant closer to the light! This plant is now 24" away from the SF4000(both drivers dimmed down 25% to 333 total watts). Day 47 - Light defoliation Day 49 - Flowers coming in strong!

One with a topping the other one just LST both huge yield!🦖 For the smell its cookie dough,lemon & diesel🍪🍋⛽️ Super sticky buds 🤩

This was the fastest photoperiod i had and most fruitiest. Not most frost.

This week critical purple was cut, brain cake will be next! Everything has to be cut by 31st of this month so hoping the jack herer will finish up in time. Amnesia lemon should be ready at week 15.

So this plant grew during winter, i cant heat the room where the tent is so the only warmth was from my LEDs and dehumidifier, during summertime this strain finishes in around 10 weeks from seed, if u like strong smoke you should try her out

The ladies are packing on beautifully and we are now giving them extra strength light during 12:00 till 14:00 slot 100% and lowering the light back down to 75% from 14:00 till 17:00 and then 50% light from 17:00 till 23:00. Lets see what happens

9-18 Day 14 Well, she is growin very well. I haven't burnt her yet! 😱😂. She is bigger every time I look. 1500ml ph 6.0 with yucca. Turned a fan on a bit, shes taking it well. Little extra on pictures. 😂 9-21 Day 17 Watered 2k ml recharge ph 6.2 Adjusted lst and removed bottom nodes. One of the 2nd nodes got injured in battle, I had to remove her too. She grows! 9-23 Adjusted lst slightly and watered with yucca. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!!! Over the past week I did some HST bending on my photos and cut down 2 of the 3 Blackberry’s. The branches are starting to recover and straighten out after the HST now. I still have some issues with pale leaves and a few spots here and there. I’m going to try adding some Dolomite Lime with the next watering and think that should help with the paleness. I’m also going to up the amount of CalMag and Mammoth P to see if that helps with the spotting. I’m not sure if I should see the spotted leaves recover or if the spots will remain. I suspect the spots will remain on the existing leaves regardless of what I do at this point, but hopefully no new spotting will develop. The lights went off before I was done taking pics, so some pics will look a little different. The pics with the lights on I had to color correct, they still look a little more on the yellow side than in reality, but much closer to reality than the pre-color corrected versions. Once the lights went off I turned the flash on for my camera, those pics did not need any color correction. You can see the differences in the pics of all plants, the first 2 are color corrected with the lights on, the last 2 are taken with a flash and no color correction. Also all close up pics of the Critical+ are with the lights off and flash on. I read several books on cannabis over the past few days, some good, some not so much. One that I liked was “Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields” by Read Spear. This book is available on Amzon’s Kindle Unlimited service, which costs $9.99/month, but they offer a free 30 day trial (which is what I’m using at the moment). Reed’s book is broken down into 3 sections, the first and third go fairly deep into the science behind growing, he does a pretty good job at breaking it down in easy to understand terms, but I had to read several sections 2 or 3 times to really get it (or just move on with as much understanding as I could digest). The second section is the nuts and bolts of growing. Most was a review but there were several topics he touched on I hadn’t thought of in a while. And again its well written. He also offers the section only in a separate book called “Small Spaces, Big Yields”. If you are not interested in going deeper into the science behind growing, “Small Spaces, Big Yields” is what I would recommend (if interested in reading books on cannabis). I took some notes while reading and I’m going to add some of these notes in my dairy updates over the next few weeks. This week I’m going to include a note on electrical, this should be a fairly basic concept, but it is super important IMO… “Electrical Items In a sealed grow room or in a tent, you will have water pooling on the floor from time to time. There is no avoiding this. Mop it up when you see it, and never put your electrical gear directly on the floor. Never. Not even for a moment. In fact, let me stress this point in bold capital letters. ALL ELECTRICAL GEAR MUST BE MOUNTED SECURELY ON A WALL OR TENT POLE.” -Read Spear I’ll add more did bits like this in my diaries over the upcoming weeks. If anyone has any good book recommendations please let me know in the comments. I’m looking for books that might not be as popular as the ones by Jorge Cervantes or Ed Rosenthal (I’ve read those). I did just order “True Living Organics” by The Rev which I’m looking forward to reading. But I’m looking for more. I really want to step it up and learn as much as possible. Your comments, feedback and recommendations are very much appreciated! Until next time, Happy Growing! Stay Positive! And have an amazing 2019!!!

Start of Week 9 - Day 57 06/28: The ladies are looking amazing! Aaliyah and Alexis have a lot of buds coming up. Annie is starting her stretch, so I’ve been moving around some of the leaves that are blocking the light to the cola branches. As of now she’s standing at 20” from the top of the coco. Alexis is now at 27” and Aaliyah has reached a height of 30” from the top of the coco. That height definitely caught me off guard! Still keeping waterings at every day and a half and EC and pH levels in runoff are good. A few of the lower leaves on the plants have yellowed and withered up, but I think it’s just the plants themselves getting rid of leaves that aren’t getting light. Overall the ladies are looking great! Can’t wait to see how much progress they make this week. 06/30: Checked in the gals and by my surprise they have all grown two inches. Aaliyah is now 32” tall and has pretty much grown into the light. Luckily I went with the LEDs so there’s not much heat. Hand up to the light is still cooler than the sun on some days. Her buds have started forming and are now covered with pistils. Annie is still creeping her way into flowering and is now at 22”. Hopefully she doesn’t get as tall as Aaliyah. Alexis is now at 29”. I have to admit, I was worried Alexis wasn’t going to do well. She didn’t look as healthy as the other two when she was a seedling. But that has changed. She looks extremely healthy and although she is in a 3-gallon pot and isn’t as big as Aaliyah, she still has a lot of buds sites coming up. I’m glad she made it. More for the yield. 07/02: Watered the ladies. EC levels in runoff are good. pH in Aaliyah’s runoff is a little low, so I’m going to keep an eye on her. She’s now at 34” tall, but I tied her down. It was either this, or no light. Hopefully she takes it okay. Her buds are really starting to grow. Annie is now at 24”. She is currently on her stretch. Hopefully she doesn’t get as tall as Aaliyah. Alexis is at 32” and looking great. As of now I’ve seen no pests inside the tent, or on the trap I put up. But I did see a few flies while watering that looked more like fruit flies than fungus gnats. Hopefully they are and the pest problem is solved. 07/04: The ladies keep growing! Aaliyah is now at 33” because of the new bending, Alexis is at 34” (I just bent her main cola down), and Annie is at 25 1/2”. With Alexis at 34” she has also passed my light. Since Aaliyah seems to be doing okay with the bending, I decided to bend Alexis down as well. Annie is going into her stretch. Found a dead fly in tray and a live one on the trap. I guess my problems continue. I gave the ladies a good amount of water (4500mL for Annie!) and am going to leave the next watering for two days now. Hopefully this can help. Happy Independence Day to all my growers in the USA! 🇺🇸 I know times are rough right now, but together we can make the world a better place. And a little weed doesn’t hurt anybody. Much love to everyone.

Halli, Hallo, Hallöle liebe Growfreunde 🤗🤗, Heute ist BT 18 und ich habe heute mal entlaubt und ganz leicht gelollipoppt. Ich wollte nicht zuviel lollipoppen, da ich denke dass die Sanlight Lampen eine sehr gute Tiefenwirkung haben, vorallem weil die aüßeren schräg hängen und der Lichtstrahl sich quasi kreuzt. Die Entwicklung in dieser Woche war, genauso wie die letzten Wochen, sehr entspannt. Alles ist gut verlaufen und der stretch lässt sich jetzt auch endlich sehen. Die Gorilla Zkittlez ist leder nicht mehr viel gewachsen und die Sweet ZZ lässt auch zu wünschen übrig zwecks stretch, aber was solls, lecker ist es auf jedenfall

Day 63 Chopped em down trimmed off all fan leaves and hung em whole plant in closet thay stays around 58% RH and 69°F

Struggling with RH, tent is too crowded bc I have lots of negative pressure, tent is bowing in hard. The best I can get down to is 50%RH, however I have tons of circulation. Look at video. I put a dehumidifier in the lung room. Rh drops if I open window, but its raining. Too wet outside rn. It went from blizzard (dry) to rain for 7 days now, maybe thats why Im struggling. Need circulation in lung room too. Vents open, still struggle, tent door open, im fine. And I use blackout curtains so no light penetrates the room. It maintain complete darkness 24/7. Plants sleep when i sleep, so never worried about it. My house was built in 1952 post WWll, so no insulation, just straight brick and a solid slab. That means it will hold moisture. Lung room at 35% RH. Rearranged set up. Trichomes...... 70% clear, 20-25%% cloudy, 5% amber

She has slowed her growth and begun putting on quite a bit of heavy buds. The 3 inches of growth is purely due to the increased size of the top cola. She has been drinking much more water so, I have reduced the nutrients per feeding since I am watering much more often. The plant doesn't give off much of an aroma but, if you rub a leaf between your fingers the scent smells similar to Garlic. I have reduced the number of large fan leaves so as to allow more light to reach the lower buds. My huge photoperiod Sativa is about one week away from finishing so, by next week I should be able to move this plant into the 8-foot tall tent. This will allow me more headroom as well as provide some side-lighting. That should help the lower buds to receive more light and hopefully bulk-up. Well, that is it for this week. I hope people are following this grow. I haven't heard from anybody so, it's almost like I am producing this diary for myself.

The growth cycle was pretty short, realizing that I planted it late in the year with the sun setting way sooner. Overall great experience

Hi guys! Sorry havent updated for a while, there has been alot of going on so the plants have gotten very little attention. And I have been ashamed of myself for letting the canophy get that out of hands. The vertical growth just continues on and on, there is not much room to lift the lights anymore. The Hydroguard really did the job, no root problems anymore. Buds are starting to swell and smell is more intense. Anyways nothing wrong with them other than the lack of care in last few weeks. But Its nice to be back!
