**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! From/Desde: 16/09/19 || To/Hasta: 22/09/19 From day/Desde día: 56 || To day/Hasta día: 62 -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V1 - Compiled all growing timelapses into a complete growing video, hope you like it mates!. V2 - My apologies about the quality of this video buddies, I didn't choose a very good place to record it, and also the GoPro released the manual configured blocked exposure, so there are many color differences among days, as every day upon lights on the GoPro make a new exposure and temp adjustment (The light is 3,000k i don't know why the GoPro read it different daily). V3 - I'm still learning to record some cool videos, as for example @MyrceneDream ones 👊, and many others.... I'm not doing it well at time. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Hard work times drain my time for the plants and to make content, sorry about that. At last flowering started, as can be shown in the weekly video, the first 3 days after the full switch to 12, she stayed in a frozen state, no much growing or movement at all. Since the 4th day she started to grow at high speed, a bit more than a cm/day. She's really looking awesome, making some bold branches and defining every part of the plant very well. Some weeks ago I told that the smell went too strong at home, but it lowered to normal levels last week, now she's smelling more and more each day again ;). I can say about Alice.K, that I had 0 problems or weird things along the current 9 weeks, she suffered very high temperatures, some insects, and also i'm going hard with nutes, I'm cycling EC reaching 2 sometimes, and she didn't show any excess signs at time, I'm not telling that they're not going to exist on Alice, but not at time, if i see some, i will stop and re-adjust. Also she has responded very well to every prune or cut I've maded to her, and the distribution is perfect, I'm in love with the form she developed. while i was thinking on 4 external main colas with 12 secondary decent Satellites, she's developing 2 awesome central colas, with 4 secondary and very decent sub-colas, and then 10 excellent satellites, and many small ones that i will cut later on (Already cutted many below the SCROG net). -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 18/09/19 (Day 58) - 3,000 ml with Tarantula, Piranha, Rhino Skin, Big Bud, Bud Candy & Bud Ignitor @ (1.1 E.C. | PH 6 | 25.7ºC) 22/09/19 (Day 62) - 4,000 ml with Silica Power, Organic Bloom, PK Booster, Bloom Stimulator, Pro Active, Bud Ignitor, Bud Candy, Bud Factor X & Sensizym @ (2.1 E.C. | PH 6.4 | 25.8ºC) *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS V1 - He compilado todos los timelapses de crecimiento en un vídeo de 1 minuto, espero que os guste!. V2 - Debo disculparme por la calidad de este vídeo compañeros, no escogí una buena posición para situar la cámara y esta además perdió el bloqueo de exposición que le pongo, por lo que al realizar un auto-ajuste automático a diario, hay diferencia en la exposición y el color entre los vídeos de cada día. No entiendo por que siendo siempre la misma luz de 3.000 k la cámara la interpreta diferente cada día. V3 - Todavía estoy intentado aprender ha hacer buenos vídeos, como pueden ser los de @MyrceneDream 👊 entre muchos otros por ejemplo... De momento no me salen bien, ya iré mejorando. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Estoy teniendo tanto trabajo que me está dejando muy poco tiempo para las plantas y para realizar contenidos, lo siento. Por fin empezó la floración. Como se puede ver en el vídeo semanal, los 3 primeros días de la floración la planta se mantuvo en un estado vegetativo (sin crecimiento). A partir del cuarto día a empezado a crecer a gran velocidad, de momento más de 1 cm al día. De verdad que se ve maravillosa, está engordando bien las ramas y definiendo su partes muy bien. Hace algunas semanas comenté que ya estaba apestando toda mi casa y aún estaba en crecimiento. El olor fue disminuyendo hasta niveles normales y esta semana de nuevo está volviendo a incrementar su olor día a día. De momento debo remarcar que en 9 semanas de cultivo que van, la Alice.k me ha dado 0 problemas o cosas raras. Ha sufrido de altas temperaturas, algunos insectos y he empezado a ir fuerte con los nutrientes. Estoy ciclando la EC en los riegos, sobrepasando los 2 en algunos casos, de momento no ha mostrado ningún signo de exceso. Con esto no quiero decir que no los vaya a mostrar si sigo así, pero de momento no lo ha hecho, si en algún momento empiezo a ver signos, ya frenaré y reajustaré. También es un planta fuerte y con capacidad de recuperación rápida, eso se puede observar en los vídeos perfectamente. Y lo increíble es la distribución que ha adquirido, mientras yo pensaba en una estructura con 4 colas exteriores principales grandes y 12 satélites centrales pequeños, ella me ha sorprendido formándose con 2 cola centrales enormes (para el tamaño del cultivo), 4 colas exteriores grandes y un montón de satélites de tamaño superior al que esperaba, más adelante cortaré los que se queden más retrasados (de momento he cortado mucho de lo que quedaba por debajo de la red) -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 18/09/19 (Día 58) - 3.000 ml con Tarantula, Piranha, Rhino Skin, Big Bud, Bud Candy & Bud Ignitor @ (1,1 E.C. | PH 6 | 25,7ºC) 22/09/19 (Día 62) - 4.000 ml con Silica Power, Organic Bloom, PK Booster, Bloom Stimulator, Pro Active, Bud Ignitor, Bud Candy, Bud Factor X & Sensizym @ (2,1 E.C. | PH 6,4 | 25,8ºC)

It’s going well, I think it could be better though. I decided to decrease the part A nutes a bit because she didn’t like the extra nitrogen and increased part b to full strength. Her lower leaves are fading, although I’m not sure if this might be a bit of a magnesium deficiency. I hope she fattens up some more and produces more trichomes. Any advice is welcome!

Set up Scrog in the start of the week. Foliar fed with CalMag + Iron 3 times this week. Defoliated lower shoots and fan leaves mid week. Raised ph in reservoir to 6.1 because the runoff was coming out at 5.2 ph. Now the runoff is at a steady 5.6 ph.

Vegetative week 3 --> A busy week. The plants started grow slowly in the first days of the week and l saw some fungus gnats on the top of the soil. Quickly I start to stop the propagation of gnats with spraying neem oil on the top of the soil and placing a sticky trap. These preventive measures working nice. I think probably the gnats have arrived because I forgot to turn on the dehumidifier for two days and the humidity blow up over 70%. I waterd the plants only one time this week with 2Lt of 6.5 pH water for plant. The last days of the week i used the LST tecnique on the two ladies with bending over the main stem. Temperature grow box---> 22-26 °C Umidity grow box ---> 45 - 55 % Total water of the week ---> 2 Lt/plant

I’m actually Super happy they sprouted on the 1st it just makes keeping track of what day your on so much smoother l think, but I think one was having a hard time getting the shell Off so I helped just I tiny bit!

Week 5 of flower and seed production for all these plants has started in earnest. We cleaned up the tent somewhat and took down all the males after having done their job. Alls left is to wait for finish now. The nute deficiency appears to have corrected itself now that we’ve balanced out the ratios a little more. The WPM is no match for the sodium bicarbonate but still gonna have to keep on top of that to the end of the grow. Full fumigation of the grow spaces will be required - multi-day process I am not looking forward to. Time cleaning is time not growing, sadly. We’re coasting to the finish now but should still have some decent updates on our super secret seed harvesting method once they’ve fully matured😉👍. Hope everyone’s well and grow’n that straight 🔥. Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

🌱 Day 8 – Reaching Higher The seedlings stretched a bit today, so I lowered the SF2000 Pro to keep them compact. They’re vigorous and full of energy, even if a little taller than I’d like. From his sunbathing spot, Mr_Barkside smirked at me (yes, dogs can smirk): “Told you they’d stretch. Should’ve listened to me.” He’s enjoying this way too much. 🌱 Day 9 – Little Personalities By now, each plant is clearly doing its own thing. Some race upward, others stay bushy. All healthy, all green. Mr_Barkside stuck close today, though his “contribution” was questionable. Let’s just say the tent got an unexpected wave of dog farts. His excuse (in my head): “Organic CO₂ boost. You should thank me.” Not exactly the kind of supplement I had in mind. 🌱 Day 10 – Strong Foundations Ten days in, the seedlings are rooted and confident. Leaves are broad, stems are strong, and the foundation for the grow feels set. The Purple Haze ladies are definitely on their way. Mr_Barkside sat beside me, unusually calm, watching the plants like a philosopher in deep thought. Then he gave me this look that clearly said: “Growing strong… but imagine how much stronger they’d be if I had some cool merch to wear while supervising.” He’s not wrong – everything feels better with style. For now, his imaginary Zamnesia hoodie remains a dream, but it doesn’t stop him from being the most loyal (and best-dressed in his mind) grow partner around. 🌱 Day 11 – Roots on the Move The first roots started peeking out from the bottom of the pots. That’s always a good sign – proof the plants are spreading their foundation below the surface. For now, they’ll stay in their pots a little longer until everything is nicely colonized. Mr_Barkside tilted his head while I checked the roots, as if to say: “They’re growing paws, just like me. Give them a few more days.” 🌱 Day 12 – Building Momentum Each plant showed progress – leaves spreading wider, stems getting firmer. The color deepened into a rich green, a clear sign they’re comfortable. Mr_Barkside sat in front of the tent like a wise coach, calm and observant: “Patience, human. They’re doing fine.” 🌱 Day 13 – Filling Out The difference from a few days ago was noticeable. Some plants stretched a little taller, others stayed compact, but the overall group looked strong. The tent feels fuller, more alive. Mr_Barkside took his “inspection round” very seriously today, sniffing every corner of the tent before giving me the approving nod. 🌱 Day 14 – Young Plants, Not Seedlings By now, they no longer look like fragile seedlings. Broader fan leaves, thicker stems, and the first signs of branching make them look like proper young Purple Haze plants. The GoPro timelapse is capturing every little movement. Mr_Barkside sat like a foreman in front of the tent, giving me the vibe: “Symmetry’s good. Keep it up.”

Blüte – Woche 4 | Wochenupdate der Stretch ist abgeschlossen und die Buds entwickeln sich sichtbar von Tag zu Tag. Insgesamt sehr vitale Pflanzen, die F1-Genetik zeigt ordentlich Power. An einzelnen älteren Fächerblättern sind leichte Aufhellungen zwischen den Blattadern sowie kleine rostige Punkte zu sehen. Das könnte auf ein leichtes Cal/Mag-Defizit unter LED in der Blüte hin. Ab dem nächsten Gießen wird Cal/Mag ergänzt und PK etwas reduziert, um die Nährstoffbalance zu stabilisieren. Klima ist aktuell stabil, Licht läuft auf voller Leistung. Insgesamt sehr zufrieden mit dem bisherigen Verlauf und gespannt auf die kommenden Wochen

The ladies really didn’t have too much change this week except girl #2 seems like she’s caught up in height to girl #1. I have to make a correction to from week 3. I stated I topped the girls when i actually did some light FIMing.I wanted to be sure i corrected that mistake before my diary process any further. I kind of went a little too heavy on the feeding and the girls showed some slight yellowing and a 1 leaf started to Slightly curl into a taco. Nothing too serious but I definitely will be dialing back on the feeding doses. decided to do some defoliation To the fan leafs that were significantly blocking light from future bud sites. I’m not sure how these girls will take to me cutting off foliage. Only time will tell. These girl are starting to put off Some stank. The smell it’s very strong but you can get a sense of what’s to come. It smells of gassy sweet pineapple citrus. Have to admit I was skeptical until I did a stem rub and these girls were spot on. When rubbing the stem they smell so much more sweeter almost like a candy sweet smell. really appreciate all who have viewed my diary. I’m actually shocked how people viewed it so far. Thank you very much for the love 💚. I’m grateful and humbled for your support. Hopefully these girls start to go into the pre flowering stage in the next week, I’m over excited to see them develop. Again thank you all for your support and comments and suggestions are welcomed💚

Moin moin meine lieben growmies endlich ich hab auf 12/12 umgestellt und ich darf endlich was machen hab mich schon mega gelangweilt durch das Bio tabs Prinzip ist aber auch bis jetzt durchweg positiv der run Langeweile ja da ich nicht wirklich was zu Tuen hatte in der vegi Phase was ich jetzt nicht schlimm finde die Ergebnisse im vegetativen Wachstum sind enorm das freut mich und jetzt seid dieser Woche ist der stretch endlich da das netzt ist drauf und ich darf endlich mit den Ladys arbeiten die woche verlief eigendlich ganz gut das netzt füllt sich echt rasant hab nur hinten rechts ein kleines Loch was noch mit trieben gefüllt werden muss das wird aber sicherlich noch passieren da ich ja noch mindestens 2 wochen stretch vor mir habe... Anfang der woche haben die Ladys noch reines wasser bekommen und zum ende der woche gab es dann den letzten Mix aus orgatrex und bactrex für die Ladys bis zur blüte woche 4 gibt es jetzt wieder nur noch wasser (ohne Ph Regelung) und ab woche 4 wird compost Tee gebraut 👌👍🤗 ich freue mich schon darauf endlich wieder was interessantes zu machen, etwas neues für mich selber compost Tee ansetzen die woche war ansonsten nicht viel los wie gesagt hier und da mal ein Blatt entfernen was den unteren trieben Licht klaut und alle 2 tage Triebe weben euch allen eine schöne woche cu

Day 1 Kosher 1 is strong, bending my strips straight..nice to LST should be a strong producer Kosher 2 is a good example of how a plant heals if the branches are snapped. Stiff branches but very strong plant
