Hoping to see lots of bud densing this coming week. The smell of the terps this morning was crazy. A bit over 3 more weeks, I can't wait. Day 44 update: Leaf yellowing has definitely been slowed, and senescence of lower yellowed leaves has also seemed to stop. Some leaves that continue to be of concern are particularly those accumulating anthocyanins, likely due to my low night time temps. I think they are doing very well, with some very minor problems. This cycle is in the winter for me, so the humidity and temps has been low, but I am happy to not have had to deal with pests or mold like in previous cycles. Day 45 update: broke out the loop today to inspect the trichs, still looking very immature, as expected given there is still a few weeks left until the planned harvest date. Today I watered in a 1/4dose of Buildabloom, some quillaja, pineapple fpj, and some rootwise enzyme elixer.

2 weeks have passed since last update. A lot has happened, plant in front/back falling over on itself since it was LST'ed too far from main branch, have been trying to use the trellis net and tie some of them up. Runtz muffin on the right looks ready to harvest, the mandarin cookies look like they will both need another week or two. Trichomes milky on the runtz muffin, 10-20% amber and pistils all coiled towards the plant, beautiful orange color and the buds are caked with trichomes. Gearing up to be an amazing first grow in the books!!! Wish I had refrained on last dose of fert, wasnt expecting to harvest these quite this fast. Mandarin cookies definitely seeing some nutrient problems, assuming thats just because of how late we are into flower.

These ladies are developing very nicely, the left and middle one already started to bulk heavily over the course of the last week, while the one that got wind stress is trailing a little behind and will probably take a little longer. For the other two I would guesstimate that I can start flushing by the end of the week. The trichomes on the two are completely milky, however with no signal of amber yet

Hi guys So here we are, day 1 of 12/12 plants all look healthy I have performed a defoliation and will do a major defoliation on day 21 of flip. I'm expecting a massive stretch lol, lights on 80% I'll.switch it.up to.100% on day 21. Started on biobizz bloom and topmax today so hopefully I didnt burn them lol Happy growing guys

Che dire questa รจ veramente la bestia delle bestie di tutte le autofiorenti!!!! Si vede giร  che sarร  veramente enorme piรน tardi, considerato mi trovo solo alla 3 settimana...le radici hanno oltrepassato addirittura il vaso in tessuto geotessile ๐Ÿ˜‚ la innaffio due volto al giorno in modo da tenere il substrato sempre umido al punto giusto, (non metto mai piรน di 200 ml di soluzione....ma lo faccio due volte al giorno)... Ha reagito benissimo ai 3 tagli di fila e si รจ appena ripresa del tutto, anzi in realtร  non si รจ mai rallentata! Questa varietร  di fast buds fa veramente paura! รˆ la piรน grande tra tutte ora in grow, e mi sta regalando molte, molte soddisfazioni! Quando vedi un seme diventare cosรฌ grande in solo 3 settimane ti rendi conto che la banca semi produce dei semi di qualitร  premium pro! Tasso di germinabilitร  100% (non ho mai fallito un seme) e questo e veramente tutto, ma poi... vogliamo parlare della stabilitร  della genetica?!? Parleremo alla fine quando questo diario sarร  al culmine della sua bellezza! Intanto ringrazio tantissimo i ragazzi di Fast buds per avermi inviato questa splendida genetica e spero di coltivare tante altre schiccerie per loro! E un grazie particolare a tutti voi che siete sempre qui a schiacciare quelle dita su questo tasto LIKE! se ci fosse un like per ogniuno di voi consideratelo fatto raga! Grazie infinite!

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesnโ€™t interfere with the bud formation. I donโ€™t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) Itโ€™s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I donโ€™t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. Iโ€™m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First youโ€™ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, itโ€™s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that Iโ€™ve said that, Iโ€™m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons Iโ€™ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG โ€œThank Youโ€ to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

Well i think the fade was as good as it gets for the first attempt at fade. The purple came in nicely and the calyxxes have taken on some purple color :) I couldnt be happier with the outcome... I did start flushing 6 days ago and today. fed with the last little bit to help with carbohydrates and flavor.. the smell is too mucmuch for my carbon filter lol. Aboutc8 feet from the tent all you can smell is bud. The last 7days. Are going to definitely be the most anxious throughout the grow. I'm hoping for good yields off 7 plants. Along with that purple accent to the terpene profile. I never like to anticipate weight but one of the bunch is definitely going to be heavy :)

๐Ÿ’™ Project Blue Tent โ€“ Week 9 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 โ€“ Pheno A ๐ŸŒฟ When The Plants Make You Rearrange The Room Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒฑ And... what a week this has been. If you've been following this project from the beginning, you already know that these four Blue Waffle F1 and Pickle Lemon Haze F1 plants have been growing with an incredible amount of energy. This week, however, they finally made one thing very clear: We were running out of room. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The plants had stretched much more than I wanted. The LEDs were getting too close. The combination of the drainage system, pots, substrate and overall height of the plants was eating into our available vertical space. So... we adapted. And Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A was right there in the middle of it all. Growing. Stretching. Flowering. And apparently completely unconcerned about the fact that she was becoming too tall for her own room. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ So this week wasn't about sitting back and watching. This week was about reorganizing the environment around these girls and giving them the space they need to continue the journey. ๐ŸŒธ Week Nine โ€“ The Stretch Was Real Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is now approximately 145 cm tall. And that's the plant itself. Add the pot. Add the substrate. Add the drainage system underneath everything. Then look at where the LEDs were sitting... Suddenly those 145 centimetres become a very serious number inside a tent. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I knew we could see significant stretching after seven weeks of vegetation. We discussed it last week. The plants had already gained a considerable amount of height almost immediately after the flip. But honestly? They still managed to surprise me. They didn't just stretch a little. They stretched enough that we had to rethink the physical arrangement of the room. And I think that's one of the most important lessons from this week. Sometimes you don't solve a plant problem by changing the plant. You solve it by changing the room. ๐Ÿ’ก Making Room For The Canopy The first major change was moving the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent and onto the top. Previously, that equipment was taking up valuable vertical space inside the grow area. By relocating it, we gained those precious centimetres back. The airflow system now pulls air from inside the tent, through the carbon filter and extractor positioned above, and then exhausts it outside. And that gave us something we desperately needed: room above the plants. Once the equipment was out of the way, we were able to raise the LEDs toward the top of the tent. That immediately gave the canopy more breathing room. And considering some of the tops had already started showing signs of getting too close to the lights... this was very welcome. ๐Ÿ”ฅ A Few Tops Got Too Close Before we made the changes, we did have a few leaves and tops showing some LED stress. Nothing catastrophic. Nothing that has changed the overall health of the plants. But there were some burned areas where the canopy had simply gotten too close to the light. The important thing is that we caught it. We raised the LEDs. We opened the canopy. We created more space. And now we're watching how the affected areas recover. That's part of running a real grow. You can calculate distances. You can watch environmental numbers. You can plan your canopy. But eventually the plant gives you the final report. And in this case, the report was: "Doctor... the sun is a little too close." ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ Message received. โœ‚๏ธ The Big Defoliation Once we had created the additional vertical space, the next job was opening the plants. And we went deep. There was a significant amount of foliage removed from the room. The plants had become incredibly dense, and at this stage that density needed to be managed. The purpose wasn't to remove leaves simply because we had scissors in our hands. The purpose was to reduce unnecessary congestion and expose the flowering structure we've spent so much time building. More visibility. More airflow. More room around the flowering sites. A cleaner canopy. And a better-organized flowering room. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A came through the process beautifully. And when you look at her now... you can actually see the architecture again. The branches. The flowering sites. The SCROG. The spacing. Everything is much easier to read. ๐ŸŒฟ What Defoliation Is โ€” And What It Isn't I think this is worth explaining because we're showing quite a significant defoliation in the photographs. Defoliation isn't about removing healthy leaves because healthy leaves are somehow undesirable. They're not. The leaves are doing important work. What we're managing here is excessive foliage and congestion inside a very dense flowering room. The plants had built an enormous amount of vegetative material. Now we're transitioning toward a flowering structure. So we're selectively reducing what we don't need in order to make the remaining architecture more functional. And I'm not expecting the defoliation to magically create flowers. That's not the point. The point is simply to give the flowers and remaining canopy a better environment in which to develop. Now we've done the work. And now... we leave the plants to respond. ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ The Second SCROG Is In The other major addition this week is the second SCROG net. The first SCROG helped us build and distribute the canopy during vegetation. It did its job beautifully. But these girls have become much taller than originally anticipated. And now we're thinking about the future weight of those flowering branches. So the second net is primarily about support. We're not trying to turn these plants back into a vegetative canopy. We're preparing the structure to carry what is coming. Because looking at these plants now... I have a feeling some of those branches are going to appreciate having something underneath them later. ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's always better to have support ready before you need it. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Two Fans โ€“ Creating The Vortex We also added another Zamnesia clip fan, this time underneath the canopy. We now have one fan working higher in the room and another operating lower down. The goal is to create more complete circulation through the growing space. The lower fan pushes air through the lower portion of the plants while the upper airflow continues moving air through the canopy. Together, this creates a kind of vortex-style circulation rather than having air movement concentrated in only one area. That's particularly valuable now. We've opened the canopy. We've created more space. Now we want air moving through that space. Not just across the top. Not just underneath. Through the room. And looking at the tent now... I really like what we've created. The room feels much more organized. โœ‚๏ธ Clean Tools โ€“ Always Another little detail I want to mention is the Zamnesia curved scissors. I really like these. For most of the larger defoliation work, I actually use my fingers. If a leaf can be gently removed without cutting anything else, that's often my preferred method. But there are always those little leaves, delicate areas and awkward positions where scissors are simply the better tool. And whenever we're using scissors around the plants: Clean. Always. Even if they're brand new, I still like to clean them. It's such a small part of the process, but it's one of those habits that makes sense. Clean hands. Clean tools. Gentle work. And only remove what needs removing. ๐ŸŒธ And Then There's That Broken Branch... Now we need to talk about last week's little accident. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Unfortunately... the branch we broke while training last week did not survive. We tried. We supported it. We gave it time. But sometimes... a branch is simply done. And that's okay. It happens. I'm certainly not going to pretend otherwise. The important thing is what happened to the rest of the plant. And the answer is: Absolutely nothing. She carried on. The plant didn't suddenly collapse. She didn't stop developing. She didn't lose her momentum. She didn't let one branch decide the story of the entire plant. She simply continued flowering. And honestly? That's one of the most reassuring things about growing. Sometimes you make a mistake. Sometimes the plant doesn't recover from that particular injury. But that doesn't mean the whole plant is affected. One branch didn't define Plant A. The rest of her is doing beautifully. ๐Ÿ’™ Pickle Lemon Haze A โ€“ Still Standing Strong That's actually something I really like about this girl. She's resilient. She has been through topping. Training. SCROG. Defoliation. The flowering transition. A broken branch. And now another deep defoliation. And she's still there looking healthy and vigorous. If anything, the whole plant seems to have taken the attitude of: "Fine. That branch is gone. I'll grow the rest." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ And that's exactly what she's doing. The canopy remains strong. The flowering sites continue developing. The remaining branches are healthy. And the loss of that one branch hasn't changed the overall performance we're seeing. So... lesson learned. We move on. ๐ŸŒฟ The Blue Tent Had To Grow Up There's something funny about this week. Last week, I was talking about managing the stretch. This week, the plants basically said: "You'd better manage it." ๐Ÿ˜‚ So we did. The room has changed considerably. The carbon filter and extractor are now outside the tent. The LEDs have been raised. The canopy has been opened deeply. The second SCROG has been installed. The second fan is circulating air below the canopy. And suddenly... we have room again. The plants are still tall. They aren't magically becoming shorter. But they now have somewhere to continue growing and flowering without immediately running into the ceiling. That's a much better situation. ๐ŸŒธ From Vegetative Structure To Flowering Structure And this is the really exciting part. All that vegetative growth wasn't wasted. The seven weeks of vegetation gave us: Strong branches. A large root system. A filled SCROG. A broad canopy. A lot of flowering sites. Now we're transitioning from building the plant to watching that structure turn into flowers. That's the part I really want to watch now. We've done the major structural work. We've made the room fit the plants. We've made the canopy more manageable. Now... let them flower. ๐Ÿ’ง Nutrition โ€“ They're Hungry Girls The plants are also telling us something very clearly through their appetite. They're hungry. So the flowering recipe has moved slightly upward. We're now running: Plagron Hydro A โ€” 2.2 ml/L Plagron Hydro B โ€” 2.2 ml/L Plagron Hydro Roots โ€” 1 ml/L Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required This has brought the EC up to approximately 2.49 mS/cm. It's still a measured change. We're not suddenly throwing everything at the plants. We're responding to what they're showing us. They're growing rapidly. They're flowering. They're drinking. And the foliage continues looking healthy. So we move forward carefully and watch the response. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Blue Tent โ€“ Current Conditions The room remains stable despite all the physical changes we've made. Current recorded conditions are approximately: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 9 ๐Ÿ“ Height: approximately 145 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Day temperature: 27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 27ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 67% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.01 โšก EC: approximately 2.49 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature: 25.3ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 24ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: approximately 666 ppm ? Pot size: 8 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h And I think the consistency is important. We've changed the physical arrangement of the room quite significantly. But we're keeping the growing environment as stable as possible. The plants already have enough to adapt to. They don't need us changing everything at once. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Airflow Is Now A Major Part Of The Equation With the plants this large and the flowering structure developing, airflow becomes increasingly important. The deep defoliation has opened the plants. The second fan gives us additional movement below the canopy. The upper fan continues moving air higher in the room. And moving the extraction equipment outside the tent gave us more usable space. Everything is now working together. That's what I want. Not one single "magic" piece of equipment. A room where the different systems complement each other. Light. Air. Irrigation. Nutrition. Structure. And observation. ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ Supporting The Future Flowers The second SCROG is probably going to become more important with every passing week. Right now, it might look like another piece of equipment in the tent. Later... it could be the thing keeping those branches where we want them. The plants have already developed a substantial framework. Now the flowers are going to start adding weight. So I'm very happy we installed the second net now rather than waiting until the branches were already carrying heavy flowers. We're preparing the room for the next stage. And that's really what this week has been about. Preparation. ๐Ÿ”ฌ Same Room โ€“ Different Strain โ€“ Same Incredible Response There's something fascinating about Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A growing alongside the Blue Waffle F1 girls. They're different genetics. Different strains. Different individual diaries. And yet this week... they look remarkably similar. Same incredible stretch. Same environmental conditions. Same physical limitations. Same need to reorganize the room. Same deep defoliation. Same second SCROG. Same additional airflow. Same nutrition increase. And this is actually another beautiful part of the experiment. We're watching genetics express themselves under a shared environment. Sometimes the differences are obvious. Sometimes... the plants simply agree with each other. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ This week was one of those moments. ๐ŸŒฟ The Canopy After Everything Looking at the room now, I have to say... I love it. The plants are tall. Yes. They are probably taller than I originally wanted. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But they're healthy. They're vigorous. They're flowering. And after the cleanup, the architecture is much easier to see. There is something very satisfying about looking at the room after a major intervention and realizing: Okay. This works. We made the space. We created the support. We improved the circulation. We raised the lights. And now the plants have somewhere to finish. That's a good feeling. ๐Ÿ”ญ Looking Ahead โ€“ Now We Let Them Work This is where the next phase becomes much simpler. We've done enough. Now I want to watch. I want to see the stretch finally slow down. I want to watch the flowering sites develop. I want to see how the plants respond to the deep defoliation. I want to see how the remaining branches use the space. I want to see how the second SCROG supports them. And of course... I want to see what Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A ultimately becomes. The broken branch is gone. That's part of the story now. But the plant is absolutely fine. And that's the important part. She's still here. Still flowering. Still growing. Still shining. ๐Ÿ’™ Final Thoughts โ€“ One Branch Less, Not One Bit Less Determined What a week. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A has officially joined the "we need to rearrange the entire room because the plants got too tall" club. At approximately 145 cm, she's certainly not small. And once you add the pot, substrate and drainage system underneath her, we were getting dangerously close to our vertical limits. So we adapted. The carbon filter and extractor moved outside the tent. The LEDs went higher. The canopy received a deep cleanup. A second SCROG was installed. A second fan was added underneath the canopy. The airflow was improved. The room was reorganized. And those few LED-stressed areas were addressed before they could become something more serious. And then... there's that branch. Unfortunately, the broken branch from last week didn't make it. It happens. I'm disappointed, of course. But I'm not worried. Because look at her. She's still growing. Still flowering. Still healthy. Still vigorous. And the rest of the plant hasn't missed a beat. Sometimes growing teaches you humility. You can train carefully. You can plan. You can prepare. And occasionally... snap. ๐Ÿ˜‚ You learn. You move forward. And you keep growing. That's exactly what Plant A has done. And honestly, that's what I love about documenting a real grow. Not everything is perfect. Not every branch survives. Not every plant stays the height you planned. Not every week goes exactly according to the original design. But that's the reality of cultivation. You observe. You adapt. You make the room work for the plants. And then you let them do what they know how to do. Grow. Flower. Finish. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is still doing all three beautifully. And now that we've finally given these girls a little more breathing room... I'm very curious to see what happens next. The room is ready. The lights are higher. The airflow is moving. The second SCROG is in place. The nutrition is supporting them. And the flowering journey is really getting started now. So let's forget about that one lost branch. It had its chapter. The rest of the plant has plenty more story left to tell. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ™ A Huge Thank You A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these beautiful Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics individually. Thank you to Plagron for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these incredibly hungry and vigorous plants as they move deeper into flowering. A massive thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, the curved scissors and the clip fans that continue playing such important roles inside this project. Thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that continues keeping these plants consistently supplied despite how quickly they're growing. And thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys, share the successes, share the mistakes, and hopefully learn something from both. And finally... thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. This week was definitely one for the books. The plants stretched. We ran out of vertical space. We moved equipment. We raised the lights. We opened the canopy. We installed another SCROG. We added another fan. We lost one branch. And somehow... we ended the week looking at a room that I think looks absolutely beautiful. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ That's growing. You don't always get the week you planned. Sometimes you get the week the plants give you. And this week, these girls gave us plenty. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is still standing. Still healthy. Still flowering. Still vigorous. And now... she has a little more room to finish the journey. Let's see what this beautiful girl does with it. Until next week... One branch may be gone, but Plant A is still here, still shining, and still ready to finish strong. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’™

Having sorted out the PH issue and the salt build up. These girls have enjoyed it so far... I will be looking to stack up each cola as mich as I can so I can yield as much as possible. I'm going short as I know these are high on Sativa. One plant has stretched very high compared to the other

Hello and welcome to week 5, everything looks fine so far... I almost topped the CP1 a second time by accident. When I tried to bend the stem a little more it just snapped clean and I applied tape and stabilized the branch. I hope it recovers and it's looking quite good ;)

Starting my flush this week using 10ml of Clearex per Gallon of water flushed down to 450EC or 225ppm, going to now continue watering with ph'd balanced water when dry with about 10-20% runoff. Going to keep an eye on the trichomes but I'm thinking I'm gonna harvest early to mid of next week. I'm going to try and bring out even more of the colors in the flowers this last week or two and I'm going to start watering with ice cold water not sure if it'll help or not but I'm gonna give it a shot. End of Week 13/Week 8 of Flower it went well the plants are flushed and are fading, going to chop in a few days.

Auch eine sehr frostige Sorte, aber das kennt man ja nicht anders von GroundedGenetics. Viele Triebe hรคngen sehr weit unten. Mal schauen wie viel Ertrag Sie abwirft.

Week 8 Flower Last full week of flush (plus a couple days). She was taken down on Day 58 Flower after she'd faded enough. Most of her fans had died off and been plucked. I always cut them down approx half hour before the light is due to turn on. This is so the chlorophyll production is at its minimum, giving you the best flavour and smoke. She's a stunning girl with fat juicy fruity cola's! ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ“ Thanks for following and happy growing! ๐Ÿบ
