Week 7 was awesome! She finally took off into flower and has started to put on visible inflorescence. This was a great development as I was afraid I was going to have to manually flip her. This means I can finish the run outdoors as planned and wont have to contend with fitting her in the tent with the photos who are currently finishing their run. I continued some light LST this week and it looks like I wont be able to train her into quite as pronounced of a spiral as I had hoped as she is going to need to have her apical meristem turned up to follow the lower branches that have now surpassed it in height. This is not a big deal though as the canopy still looks great and I am happy with how she turned out. I think she is set up for a nice finish. She continues to exhibit strong growth and a hearty resistance to outdoor conditions here that can often take weaker genetics of any species down in a heartbeat. I'm not sure if it is typical for this cultivar to flower so late in the run but I can't say I mind it that much. The extra veg time will make for a strong harvest, I think. I've been most impressed with Dinafem's gear so far. Definitely top notch. I'm already most the way through week 8 and can't wait to show you guys what she's done in the next update. Keep following along and please click "Like" below if you dig what I'm doing here. Cheers! 👊🌱☮️✌️

Flowering day 15 since time change to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) This week the ladies developed beautifully 👍. The stretch has started very strongly :-) . Watering was done twice this week with 1.2 l (see table above for nutrients). The heating mat does exactly what it is supposed to do, you can see that the ladies are doing perfectly again 😃. Fresh osmosis water was mixed with tap water in a 100 liter tank so that I would have enough stale water for the coming week 👍. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked. During the check, I noticed that after spraying neem oil 3 times, there were still a few damn trips to see. I have ordered nematodes for leaf and substrate against tripse. Then they should finally be gone again 🙏🏻 have fun and stay healthy 💚 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.ripperseeds.com/en/feminized/kmintz-feminized-cannabis-seeds Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

All going according to the plan, some plants gained a lot of weight during this week, other just packed some resin. Gave their last feed today, with 42 days of flower. Water with seaweed extract, molasses and micorrize. Gonna harvest the smallest plant with 50 days cause i'm running out of smokable weed ;/ Mother number 1 is looking great, smells like strawberry with a really fresh, almost cold, smell. hoping this profile reflects on the joint. Mother number 2 is the smallest of the mothers but smells the best, citrus with sweet, the closest to terp profile im looking for. Mother number 3 is fat and smells like strawberry with something more cheesy on the background. GDP is amazing! its packing a lot of resin, smelling great and producing heavy buds, think its gonna be the biggest yielder of the bunch. Next week im gonna take some small branches to taste whats coming and decide who is gonna go to revegging after the harvest to become a mother.

Hey there! Welcome to this diary! I made it easy back in 2021. Sorry in advance for the Spanish audio. For my germination method I always use both the glass of water and the paper towel. Let me explain, the glass of water only goes for 6 to 12 hrs, it's just a soak that also contains 3-4 drops of hydrogen peroxide, this way we kill all pathogens that the seed may have on the outside. Then to a warm, moist and dark place with the paper towel, this seed sprouted pretty fast using this method. Then, once it has that tiny mouse tail of it goes to the pot, I keep it moist by putting a transparent cup upside down. Just to keep the dates, it just took from the 17th to the 19th to go from the cup with water, to the paper tower, to the soil, AND SPROUT!!

.

Defoliated a little more. Had a heat stress issue during the week, should be all better now. Nice to see the branches starting to tip in the last few weeks.

Hi, topman! Yesterday we had defoliation big leafs, also was make regulation to stem of plant to the same high how its head. We have about two same weeks for change light of time on 12/12 for Part-Bloom. We are going to growing big place! You’ll check and looking at this report! See you, my dear topman!

Woche 10 ist gelaufen.... Es ist nicht viel passiert. Sie reift langsam vor sich hin. Die Trichome sind mir aber alle noch zu glasig, deswegen heißt es weiter warten und beobachten. Geruch ist mittlerweile "Normal Stark" und geht richtung Floraler Keksteig.

Hi guys been a way for a while but I'm back, the ladys are well into flower now. The strawberry chemdawg ogz are beasts and super frosty there a bit behind the blackberry moonrock. But alot bigger.

Week 8 Flower (Day 85-91 | Flower Day 50-56) Day 85 - Feb 19 (Flower Day 50) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.95 / EC 1.674 Post top-off: pH 5.88 / EC 1.658 Noticed again that the real bulking seems to be happening under the very top tips. Pistils lower down are still white. This matters more than the “top of the tops” look. Day 86 - Feb 20 (Flower Day 51) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.92 / EC 1.804 15 min post top-off: pH 5.95 / EC 1.720 EC had crept up. Top-off brought it back down. Plant posture looks good (praying, not tacoing). Still feels like she’s in “steady stacking” mode. Day 87 - Feb 21 (Flower Day 52) Reservoir change at 01:00 New res: pH 5.78 / EC 1.752 Fed ½ dose of what Advanced Nutrients recommended. Reset felt worth it because I couldn’t find any res changes after Feb 6 in my notes, and I didn’t want to gamble this late in flower. Day 88 - Feb 22 (Flower Day 53) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 6.0 / EC 1.780 ~1 L consumed Post top-off: pH 6.0 / EC 1.894 (first reading likely off - meter acting a bit wonky again) PPFD noted around 790. Also: smell is getting more funky (in the good way). And importantly: she’s not “scarred” anymore - almost all previously damaged leaves have been trimmed away by now. Day 89 - Feb 23 (Flower Day 54) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.0 / EC 1.852 15 min post top-off: pH 5.58 / EC 1.724 pH came in low and got corrected with the top-off. Plant looks fine. No sign of new damage spreading. The trend stays: tops look “older,” but the mid/lower stacking is active. Day 90 - Feb 24 (Flower Day 55) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.56 / EC 1.874 ~1 L consumed 15 min post top-off: pH 5.67 / EC 1.724 Leaves praying. No taco. Everything feels stable and predictable right now - exactly what I want after the January chaos. Day 91 - Feb 25 (Flower Day 56) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.73 / EC 1.872 15 min post top-off: pH 5.80 / EC 1.786 Still holding that same EC band after top-offs. Some tip burn / slight leaf edge crisping visible on a few leaves, but nothing that’s escalating fast. Focus remains on bulking and resin rather than chasing white pistils on the very top tips. Thricomes look mostly clear with a few cloudy and no amber. Week 8 Notes / Takeaways Res change happened Feb 21 @ 01:00 (pH 5.78 / EC 1.752, ½ AN dose). EC after top-offs mostly sits ~1.7-1.8, which is consistent given ~800 EC tap water baseline. Smell turning stronger + funkier in a good way. Canopy damage from the old incident is largely a non-factor now - most of those leaves are gone. The “action” is in the mid/lower stacking and healthy sugar leaf resin production. I'm hoping for another 3 weeks of flower before harvest.

Belle floraison avec des tache violette

Colas are packing on the size n weight just fine…

we improvised with threads the mesh was badly placed but everything served and fulfilled its function, now the leaves have grown again and the mini jungle is re-formed, we really liked how the previous pruning turned out although aggressive to the plants it did not affect them they recovered almost instantly, and it works in our favor because of the space, so this is already the end of the second or the beginning of the third week, in the next one I will upload the pruning and everything as it is already at the end of almost the 3rd week of flowering, at least of the larger, the others, as you know, are 2 to 3 weeks apart, so for them it is 1 or 2 weeks of flowering, which is noticeable in their development. the risks that are written down in the diary are the fertilizer once a week, and 1 3.5-liter drum or a gallon is used, which is divided into the 2 largest and another equal gallon with a different proportion for the 5 smallest , in the newspaper it is written down of the great ones.

Not really happy with the result of this lady but must complete this diary. Thanks for watching ✌️🏼❤️🙏🏼

Saw some explosive growth this week. Some signs of preflower. The broken stem plant is very stressed, while the other is thriving. Did first round of defoliation, went a tad overboard perhaps. Going to try and do a minor lollipop once I get some small buds going. Starting adding some silica blast for stem strength, fish shit for soil microbial life, and sugars to help nutrient intake. RO water, having to PH down to 6-6.5 now that I'm using the silica blast. Stopped the sns209, no signs of pests. Added another fan (total 3) and bug catcher (total 2). *I am growing 4 plants here, but only tracking one.

May 3, 2024 Day 78 This week is the last week of nutrients before a week or so of flushing. I'm still not seeing any fade, but most of the buds are turning a beautiful purple pink color. At least on Tropicana Cookies. Tropicana C isn't quite there yet. Maybe a few days behind. Some purple is starting to show though. No watering for today. I have the reservoirs full of diluted nutrients. I added a half gallon of plain PHed water yesterday. However, these plants aren't taking in much. The soil is getting saturated and the plants aren't drinking as much. I think it may be nutrient lockout. Or just the age of the plants. They slow down when nearing the end. How near, I don't really know. Maybe a week or so before harvest? Either way, the soil moisture used to be around 49% to 51% saturation. Now it's at 57% which has been unheard of through the whole run. I just can't tell which problem it is. Tropicana Cookies looks great! Lots of bud through the whole plant, not big, but getting denser and slightly fatter. As I said before, her buds are getting super purple with tons of orange pistils. The trichomes are a mix of clear, cloudy and amber. Mostly clear and cloudy with amber being about 5% throughout. Tropicana C looks great as well. One top is leaning hard and no wonder. It's covered top to bottom is dense bud. Still not big buds by any stretch of the imagination, but they seem hard as rocks. I haven't felt them to find out. I'll figure that out on trimming day after drying. She doesn't have the purple coloring like her sister, at least not yet. Some buds are starting to show the purple, but nowhere near as much. The lighting will be changed at some point within the week. Maybe closer to the end of the week. The light is far away enough where I shouldn't get any trichome issues. I definitely won't be getting light stress at all, so I may leave the light as it is for as long as I can. The environment is still a little wonky. The temp is the same, hovering between 75° and 76°. I'm doing my best to keep it under 77° as 78° can cause a potential breakdown of trichomes. Gotta be careful at this crucial time. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.2° RH: 55.0% VPD: 1.23 kPa May 4, 2024 May the 4th be with you! Star Wars all the way! A little bit of a thing for these two today. First, I need to comment on how purple these buds are getting. Second, I think they only have days left. Maybe a week. But based on how they look and their trichomes, I wouldn't be surprised if they were ready in 5 days. That being said, I think it's time to start flushing. There are a couple reasons I think they are almost ready. For one, they have nearly all orange pistils. Just a few colas here and there. They still have a decent amount of white, but they will be gone later today if not tomorrow. The trichomes are a good 60% cloudy, 30% clear and about 5% amber. I'm leaving 5% out for margin of error. Finally, this could also be a lockout, they are taking significantly less water. At this stage it is to be expected, but I do have a nutrient issue with both of them. So it could be that as well. Or a combo of the two. All that being said, I think it's safe to say they are ready for flushing. Tropicana Cookies is noticably stronger than her sister, or her buds are just heavier. But, this lady has no hard leaning branches. Some leaning a bit inward, but that was how I trained them. On the other hand, Tropicana C has quite a few branches leaning hard. I had to prop one up against a stronger cola to keep it up in place. Another is leaning inward so I have that propped between 2 other colas to prevent light blockage. Both plants look kinda terrible right now with top leaves having spots everywhere from too much of something. Or lack of Phosphorus? Something. I need to learn this stuff. I think the lesson learned here is to make sure to time everything properly and not pay attention to every detail in a feeding schedule. The one I used was based on 3 weeks of veg and 6 weeks of flower. I had 5 weeks of veg and am now on week 6. Flowering seems to be on point, but the longer veg stage messed me up. So I will be following the feeding schedule provided by Advanced Nutrients. Just cut the nutrients way down. The light power will be dropped this week. I plan on dropping it 10% mid week and another 10% by the end of the week. The DLI should drop back down to 40 mol/m²/d inside and 38 mol/m²/d outside. By end of week, I plan to have the DLI down to 38 mol/m²/d. However, I have 2 other plants in the tent that are about a week behind these two. So I may have to change my plans for lighting and leaves it up for the rest of the week and drop it down to 38 mol/m²/d next week. But I don't think I have more than a week left. Oh well. I also won't be able to run a dark period. The plants are too big to fit in a 2x2 tent. So they will be harvested right away. I'll just keep the temp down below 75° for the rest of the week. The other strain is Banana Purple Punch, so it should benefit from the lower temps as well. I shouldn't have any trouble with mold or anything. The plants come out of the tent everyday and the airflow is fantastic. So the high humidity shouldn't be much of an issue. I'll do everything I can to drop it as much as possible anyway. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 57.9% VPD: 1.19 kPa May 5, 2024 A bit to do today. Both ladies need top offs. Tropicana Cookies much less so. Tropicana C is almost empty while Tropicana Cookies is about half full. She has to be super close to harvest. The trichomes show it as well. Not quite there, but almost. That being said, I'm switching to Flawless Finish for the rest of the grow. They will need about a week of flushing and then I think they will be done. Tropicana Cookies is looking great! Her buds swelled up to an acceptable size. They definitely aren't nearly as big as my Gorilla Cookies, but that was an insane plant. Anyway, I'm not seeing any signs of fading. Just nutrient burn. However, I rarely get fade. Maybe it will start later this week. Anyway, I'll have to clean the reservoirs out. I may have to do that today. Just plain water though, then next watering will be Flawless Finish. Tropicana C is definitely putting on weight. Her colas are starting to pull more and more branches down. Leaning everywhere. I have 2 that will completely fold over, so I have to wrap them around other branch leaves to lock them in place. Her buds aren't purple though. It's starting to come through now, but nowhere near as her sister plant. However, her pistils are like glowing orange. Beautiful. She still has a good 40% white pistils. I like to see a minimum of 75%, but I rely mostly on the trichomes. Regardless of color, she is still quite the beauty. Both ladies are extremely strong to the nose now. Even with my exhaust fan at 100% power, it still doesn't pull all the smell out. It's could also be the combo of these two and the two Banana Purple Punch plants in there tent as well. Either way, they look and smell great! The lighting will have to stay where it is for the rest of the week. I don't think it will be a problem. I have the light 24" away from the plants and shouldn't have any stress at all. The reason being is those two Banana Purple Punch plants. They still have a good 10 days left while these two only have about 5 to 7 days left. So it will stay exactly where it is. The environment is driving me nuts. I can't for the life of me get the humidity to stay below 60%. I swear it's the gods messing with my shit. Lol. The temp is still controllable. I want to bring it to 74°, but then I risk higher humidity. But if I crank the heat, the temp could get too high and damage the trichomes. What a sticky place to be. I'll just have to open the door periodically throughout the day while this humidity is out of control. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.0° RH: 59.8% VPD: 1.09 kPa May 6, 2024 Not a lot going on today. No watering needed, no light changes, nothing. Just some pics and environmental adjustments. Tropicana Cookies looks great! She's very close to harvest. I'll be checking trichomes again in 2 days. I'd say 5 days left on her. She just needs more amber trichomes. And she could do with less clear trichomes. Although, the majority of them are cloudy, this is an indica dominant strain. So I like a little more amber than that of a sativa. Honestly, it levels out the harvest time. Sativa's take slightly longer so less amber means less time. More amber on the indica strains takes slightly longer than their shorter lifespan. So they tend to level out for harvest time. Also, what I thought was more damage to the leaves, I'm starting to think it's the start of the fade. Even with the Flawless Finish flushing out the extra nutrients, the leaves are still showing "damage". So maybe it's the start of senescence? Or residual nutrients still in the soil. Probably that now that I think about it. It will take days for the issue to subside. I'd also like to note that the damaged leaves aren't crispy at all. They still feel like they are very healthy. So instead of cutting them off like I planned, I'm going to leave them on and use them for a timeline for the rest of the plants. Tropicana C also looks great! Her branches are bending over all over the place. Just the outside ones and taller colas. They may be small buds, but they are solid and a plethora of them. I'm finally seeing purple. So she is definitely the same phenotype, just got slightly delayed by probably 3 days or so. I'd say give this one another 5 to 7 days. It's could be up to 10 days which is no big deal as I have other plants in the tent that won't be done for another week or 2. So I'm not too worried. Both ladies have a crisp and fruity aroma. Even though it's a crispy smell, it's strong and engulfs the smell gland things in a citrus, sweet, fruity, I guess gassy and earthy aroma. They aren't taking as much water in anymore, so it's definitely nearly time. I don't really see it doing much right away. As I said earlier, Tropicana Cookies is still advancing in the nutrient burn. Maybe it was a deficiency the whole time? Someone mentioned missing Phosphorus which I think is Big Bud that I used at the complete wrong time. We aren't changing the light at all. The other 2 plants in the tent need it to be where it is for another week, and these 2 should be done in an week or less. The environment is still wonky with the temp at 75° and the humidity at 58% and bouncing into 60%. I managed to get my room down to 48% earlier, but now it's up to 52%. I'll have to do my best to keep up with the temperature in the tent. Try to keep it below 75° if I can. Also, I really cannot get the temperature to drop below 67° at night. The average is and has been 68° for the majority of the grow. However, last night's humidity was absolutely insane with an average of 67%. I really can't stand weather sometimes. It's a good thing I pull my plants out everyday and inspect them. Otherwise I think I'd have some mold issues. So far we are good to go. I'm also opening the tent periodically throughout the day to let more dry air in and clear out the moisture to room level. Today should be good with the lower temps outside and in turn lower humidity. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.8° RH: 62.4% VPD: 1.05 kPa May 7, 2024 Not a lot going on today. I might top off the reservoirs tonight, but mostly tomorrow. So leaf damage continues to spread. I swear this better be senescence. It's weird, because it's spotty. All over the place. Like not rust, but yellow and orange. It still looks like leaf damage to me. I don't know. As I've said before, I don't get a lot of fade from my plants, so I'm not really sure what to look for. for example is this spotting. The timing is right for senescence, but I'm not really seeing solid color change. Is that "fade"? I can't see it as fade. It still looks like damage. I guess I'll see what happens over the next few days. Tropicana Cookies looks great! Her buds are almost all purple now. Some of the lowers are still green, but I don't expect the whole plant to turn purple. However, it may happen over the next few days. Tropicana C is weighing down a ton of tops now. They are falling over like dominos. Some are bending half way over. The tallest one has essentially collapsed under its own weight. I used some plant ties to hold it up with other tops. I had to weave a couple tops together just to keep them from falling over when I placed it back in the tent. Then they untangled and flopped over against the other plants and tent wall. A promising sign of some super dense buds. Considering how small they are, they must be heavy indeed. Super dense. I can't wait! The smell is so strong now that it's permeating through my air sealed door into the rest of the house when the tent is open. I even have the exhaust fan, that runs to the outside of the house, at full power. And an AC unit that exhausts outside as well. Still the smell is wonderfully overwhelming. Excellent! Lighting is staying the same until the end of the week. Then I'll be dropping it down to 36 mol/m²/d for the rest of the grow. It's to accommodate the other strain in the tent. The environment is getting better. The humidity my room dropped down to 42%, so the humidity in the tent dropped to 54%. Not good at all, but much better than 60%+ for days. The temp is at 76°. I'd still like to see it at 74°, but I'll be able to do that when I get the humidity under control. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 54.6% VPD: 1.25 kPa May 8, 2024 Trichome Day! We only have pictures today. I'll do a video for next week. Speaking of next week, after checking the trichomes, I believe these two will be done by the end of next week. I know I'm pushing it off a bit, but they just aren't ready yet. Tropicana Cookies has started to fade. Her sugar leaves and some of the fan leaves are developing beautiful dark purples. The rest of the leaves are starting to lighten up as well. We are looking super good. Tropicana C on the other hand is a bit behind. I'd say 3 days maybe 4. No idea why, but she is. Also, her branches have to be weak AF to be bending all over the place. The buds aren't that big or heavy. So yah, just a weak plant. Definitely from my nutrient regimen. She smells great though and she is getting more purple in her buds, so she will hopefully turn out like her sister plant with super bright purple buds. I think they are the same phenotype, so this one should turn purple too. I think. One issue I may run into is timing. I need to harvest both plants at the same time so I can fit the 4 sour diesels I have in the 3x3 with the other 2 that are currently going. It might be a tight call. If they are indeed 4 days apart, I may overdo it with Tropicana Cookies and possibly underdog it with Tropicana C. We shall see. The lighting is just going to stay the same. There's no point in dropping it now. The other plants in the tent still need it and these 2 are so close to being done, it really won't matter. The environment is a nightmare. I cannot get the humidity below 60% now. It may go down later this afternoon, but not enough. It's maddening. I'll just keep opening the tent every couple hours to let fresh air in, even though the exhaust fan is running full speed. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.0° RH: 57.6% VPD: 1.19 kPa May 9, 2024 It's the last day of week 11 and we are embarking on the final few days. Nothing to do today, but there are a few notes I'd like to make. Tropicana Cookies has mere days left. Her buds are almost all purple now from top to bottom. Not only that, but the leaves are also turning purple. Some of the bigger fans leaves are starting to fade. It started with the damaged ones and is slowly working through the other leaves. Just a few at a time. Something I noticed is how much water her container is holding. I may have to pull the wicks. I guess it makes the most sense. I'll do that later today. Mostly because the bottom of the container is dripping saturated. I'm worried it will cause some last minute over watering issues. Tropicana C is falling all over the place. And I mean all over. She has some weird bud growth as well. Some of the tops bent over, but not only that, folded over themselves where the tops are now facing the bottom of the container. It looks like I missed something when placing the plant back in the tent. It's just strange how she is doing this and the other one isn't at all. But this one... I feel like all these bending branches are going to impact the light coverage for the whole plant. Especially the outside where the branches are just falling over. I don't have a support like that, and the other tops are too weak to hold the outside branches up. I'll just have to deal with it. If it comes out messed up and larfy, I'll just use it for concentrate. I'm starting to get an idea of the potential yield. Both plants have tons of buds, but Tropicana C seems to have less dense buds, even though she in bending over everywhere. I'd say that Tropicana Cookies has a potential for 3 oz dried and trimmed. Tropicana C might yield 2.5 oz, but I'm thinking closer to 2 oz. We shall see. She still has a few days more. Maybe a week. The light is the same. It's kind of a good thing. The leaning branches still need light, and they are about 2" lower than the light. That dropped the DLI a little and now I don't have to worry. However, it didn't do anything for Tropicana Cookies. The environment is still kind of wonky. Day time temps are around 76° with the humidity still high at 55%. The night temp was really good though. The average was finally down to 66°. So that's good for the last few days. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 58.6% VPD: 1.11 kPa

I didn’t yield as much as I would like but I did get some quality flower 83 ofgrams worth between the three cardi b plants, and about 74 grams of 2 envy mintz plants I did have a lot of stress in the beginning which got corrected late and also I might have flipped too early , but all in all it’s some tasty beautiful flower definitely running again gonna do 1 plant this time so tune in for that journal
