Puffing finished on tops.. popcorn catching up. Hairs turning all brown on tops. Starting to get a little amber now. Had planned on 70 days to chop, but we shall see.. fuc8ng mites too btw...

This week the new growth of the plants transitioned from looking relatively healthy to droopy and yellowed. I wasn't sure what the issue was at first and thought it might be light stress. After more research, I determined that I had what looked very much like a zinc deficiency, which is almost always a symptom of over-watering, which is the most common mistake for new growers, i.e. "Me". I had assumed that adding a good amount of perlite to my soil and using smart pots would prevent me from running in to any drainage issues but I guess not. I was up to 1.5 liters per plant when I realized that it was too much. I also realized I was misreading my syringe which I use to mix nutrients, and that i had been giving only 1/10 of the liquid nutrients that I thought. I'm super embarrassed about the mistake but I'm going for full transparency here, so there it is. Course correction takes places after day 31.

Pretty buds and leaves nice plant lets see how it turns out

I noticed that the whole right side of the tent had basically collapsed, so harvest was upon us. Using hedge clippers I cut away large chunks of the plant: THis thing is huge. Put some celophane over the cut ends and taped them, had to load them into the tent for drying at a couple of different levels so that it is stacked. Will update once I have dried and cured.

Day 22: AIW The plant starts to release a very nice odor. Day 23: A secondary topping was made to the 2 shoots coming off the 3rd node. The plant was watered and fed with 3ml fertilizer + 1ml Cal Mag in 1 liter tap water. Day 24: The mature leaves start to show some yellowing. Wondering if there's some deficiency...? The light was raised 5cm. Day 25 The plant was watered and fed with 7ml fertilizer + 1ml Cal Mag in 1 liter tap water. 2 Secondary shoots were topped. Lower fan leaves were trimmed. Day 26: I decided to feed more often, but with lower concentrations. The plant was watered and fed with 3ml fertilizer + 1ml Cal Mag in 1 liter tap water. The 2 main shoots were topped once more. The plants grows about 2cm/day. Day 27: AIW Day 28: AIW The plant was watered with 1 liter tap water. 2 more 150W LEDs are now in use, for a total of REAL 600w. The temperature with lights on reaches 30c The plant is now 22cm tall.

💀 Old School Mango Haze Auto #1 💀 Age : 77 days Life : Thriving under most conditions, several stress events caused cascade - early stress finish. Discovery of nanners at ~D76 confirmed final plant state. Flower Development : Large deviance in structural density between flower sites, top nodes well formed but interrupted in bulking / ripening phase. Swollen but increasingly sparse bract population down the canopy with interrupted base formations; all amplified by unsuccessful cultivation strategy (reduced lollipopping) Pistils : Almost fully brown prematurely as of Week 8+. Early browning likely prevented self-pollination from undetected early nanner-structures. Trichomes : ~10% amber, fairly even. some outliers likely at 5-15% Fully ripened | Freshly ripening Ratio : 1.27:1 or 103:81g Smell undisturbed: Exhibits warm, loud, spicy wood profile with a minor fruit twist; some pepper on exhale; + minor stress based sulfur shift Smell ruptured: Fruity, warm wood/root with oriental spices, ripe mango in the wind, faint herbal bitters, some umami Terp Loss: Intense 'tropical fruit-cocktail' terpinolene quantities (cultivation target) observed during flowering could not be preserved due to cultivation issues. Monoterpene loss of roughly 50% against baseline likely. Sesqueterps + Sulfur dominate profile as stress response layers. Taste (combusted with tobacco): herbal forward with warm mango / myrcene background-body, slightly spicy Tactile density: 6.5/10 | dense, firm bracts against healthy, medium-loose structure that moves as a whole Trimming: Hand-trimming, 16h total (11.5g/h) due to cultivation issue Larf: 44% (trimmable into quality flower), ~2% unusable as flower product Drying: Extended low VPD cool dry in custom chamber (12D with increased botrytis risk) → humidity stabilization (extended due to sickness) → TerpLoc bags nested inside RH stabilized container as final storage. Pharmaceutical Profile: Pleasant ramp into array of 'sunshine-feelings': happyness, clarity, drive, relaxation. Very pleasant, clean sativa experience. Almost no sedation even after meaningful terp-loss and profile shift suggest baseline expression likely provides more intense, euphoric high with increased drive. The Silver-Lining & Parting Gift: As this story unfolds before my eyes, I have to consistently rub them: Sampling the products of this run after trimming, a total of 2 seeds have been found. One in Sour Jealousy, one in 505 Headbanger. Right now, both cultivars likely got pollinated during Week 7-9 by OSMH, when she likely started producing undetected nanners as a final survival response. Turns out, she could have ended the entire grow right then and there. But my fan placement accidentially created a pollination-barrier against SJ & HB during the entire run! This only changed mildly during Week 7-9, when some additional air was blasted deep into the canopy of OSMH to prevent moisture pockets. This must have caused just enough turbulence at the overlapping canopies in the center of the tent to cause rare, gentle but definitive cross-pollination events. So this begged the question: How on earth is Mango's flower not full of seeds? Turns out her premature pistil browning largely stemming from light burn actually -prevented- her self-pollination attempt, the pistils must already have ceased to function. The pollen? It did NOTHIN. Well, -almost- nothin. If this turns out to be true, I will just have to grow out these beautiful ladies under special circumstances (increased nanner-chance): OSMH x Sour Jealousy (Fem, Auto, Rodel) F1 OSMH x 505 Headbanger (Fem, Auto, Rodel) F1 How cool is that?! I am actually asking.

Day 29: Watered each plant with 0.75L with nuts 1485 ppm, 3150 us/cm, 3.1 EC Day 32: Watered each plant with 0.8L with nuts Day 35: Watered each plant with 0.8L with nuts 1616 ppm, 3438 us/cm, 3.4 EC

July 18: recovering from the hail storm 7 days ago. Will start force flowering tonight. In dark garage at 9 pm, a few seconds of 730 nm far red light, and then out of garage at 7 am. That is 10 h of darkness plus 2 h from the far red light at the right time. That is 12 h of darkness in a ‘26 h’ day. Great trick if you have daily access to your flowering plants. After about two weeks I’ll stop with garage but continue with the bloom booster red light every night at Civil Twilight until harvest. Time is from timeanddate.com for my location. Easy trick but you need to do it at the right time each night. and is based on your latitude. July 19: added second layer to scrog net. Watered with compost tea this morning. July 22: using Plagron Power Buds for first time.

Week 3 Update Day 18 (VT18): The nutrient comparison has been running for a week now. While it's too early to draw conclusions about plant performance, the effort required for preparing the irrigation water is clear: GHF is the quickest, followed by BioBizz, and Advanced Nutrients takes the most time. The new pots are amazing—no water leaking out the sides during watering, and the zipper feature for moisture control is a game-changer! Attaching today’s pictures along with a poll for your input. Cam Check Issue: While away, I noticed on the cam that GHF#2 has started curling its lower leaves. It’s well-watered, treated identically to BioBizz#1. Should I repot with fresh soil? Day 20 (VT20) – GHF#2 Emergency: As the title suggests, GHF#2 is in serious trouble. I’ve ruled out overwatering, tap water issues, CalMag deficiency, and soil quality. BioBizz#1, which received the same treatment, is fine. The only variable is the GHF nutrients added during repotting: 2g GHF BioBloom per liter 1g GHF Enhancer per liter Symptoms: All fan leaves are curling from the bottom upwards, while shoots remain unaffected. Unsure what’s causing this, I replaced the substrate entirely with BioBizz LightMix and skipped any additional nutrients for now. The discarded #3 plant was on the windowsill but has been returned to the tent as a backup. It’s looking rough but might be better than losing GHF#2 entirely. Unfortunately, this development jeopardizes the nutrient comparison for GHF, as I’m confident it’s not overfertilization. Let’s see if GHF#2 recovers in LightMix. If it does, the issue was the nutrients. Day 23 (VT23): BioBizz#1: Thriving as expected, consistent with past grows using BioBizz. GHF#2: Still struggling, with all fan leaves curling. Growth is significantly slower than the others. AN#4: Incredible growth and root development—roots are visible everywhere after just five days. Unfortunately, GHF#2's condition has worsened: curling is now spreading to the shoots, moving from the bottom upwards. Growth has stalled almost entirely over the past four days. Next Steps: GHF#2 is likely beyond saving. I may replace it with #3, though its week on the windowsill has stunted its growth. Catching up to AN#4 seems unlikely. I’m considering moving BioBizz#1 alongside AN#4 in the main tent, while #3 gets 1-2 weeks in the smaller tent. However, I’m unsure if #3 should remain with GHF nutrients. It hasn’t been fed yet, and starting an organic regimen this late might not work. Side Note: My girlfriend insisted on saving #3—seems like fate played a hand, and so far, she’s been proven right! 😅 Attaching updated pictures for your insights.

Plant is darkend up a bit more and more hairs are truning darker. Seems to be ripening up sooner than expected. Smells great and frosty, love it. Seems to slowing down on drinking too. The humidity in the tent has dropped dramatically, can't say I mind. I have been watering a bit everyday and not waiting until the plant drys totaly out. Been giving nutrients every watering, seems to need it. Tomorrow I will give it a good soaking and leave it for a few days until I think it needs it. This may be the start of the flush. If I dont see any new hairs grow out in the next few days then its flush time for sure. Cheers

Woche 10 Blütewoche 4

Beginning of week 5 and I finally started to LST the lady's. Had to give time for blueberrys recovery from getting FIMed lol. To be honest I'm gonna let them grow another week and transplant week 6 into there final pots. So this week will be the start of a very long and dedicated process of maintaing a good canopy. Overall I think flowering should be 3 weeks away. Not trying to have a monster harvest on my first go around. My focus is to just succeed at my first grow and be proud of my personal stash at the end of this awesome journey. I plan on starting a new grow after this one so I know what to expect and plan bigger and better, this is more of a test run to see if I can grow good weed indoors. So far so good. Day 30- Topped Alaskan purple.

Day 63 Got a new toy wich is a self watering system... they drink a lot and i can't be spending so much time on feeding.. when the tent is open.. a wave of terpens hits you like a rock... so fruty.. with lemonine terpens...

Clones got transplanted into 1gal Rapid Stack pots, this will facilitate the next transplant into the live soil grow bed with no stress. Quick and easy transplanting with no root shock or damage to the plant. Plants still drinking rain water, top dressed with Bokashi Pro-Gro, the soil is recycled and organic :) Check my Instagram for more grow content @GirlGoneWeed

Week 10 6/9-15 Lemon ladies love the outside. Both are showing yellowing leaves so everyone is getting nutrients with feedings. 6/13 heavy defoliation and limb removal for lemon cake since she's now in flower. Repositioned the scrog after defoliation so the thicker limbs are in the mesh. Drizzle, got light defoliation mostly yellowing fans. Before and after pics and vids. I saw a Japanese beetle on my Lemon Cake and some small holes in the leaves so I added 1/2 tsp neem to the feed solution 6/12. Also started using fish & kelp. I'm still watering 1 gal per plant when I feed. With the heat and humidity, I water daily.

Day 127. Chop day !!!! Zkittalicious #6 is my first plant without any airy or small bud !!!! Plus he will be like others in 100g range ... #2 should beat all single plant records ;))) Happy Growing !!!

Great Strain and Pheno for low height tents. Citruses oranges and Gass terpZ.
