Beginning of week: Can't tell yet if the branch i broke is going to mend or die yet. Light defoliation today focusing on the upper canopy and tapering to the bottom to allow the lower branches to catch up as much as possible. Midweek: going away for 3 days. Put my net down to help breakup the canopy more though it wasnt really needed this thing loves to grow sideways. Added Cycos suga rush at 1ml/L and a light defoliation. The branch i thought I broke hasnt shown any signs of dying and has continued growing 馃榿 I also have started watering with worm casting tea in between feeds.

Hello everyone. The girls underwent a major heavy defoliation approximately 12 hours ago, primarily as a drastic measure to eliminate a thrips nesting ground. While a standard defoliation would normally be done to open up the airflow and canopy, this aggressive stripping was deemed necessary due to the heavy pest pressure. Two of the plants are tolerating the harsh haircut well, but one plant is currently exhibiting significant stress, with its leaves crawling or curling inward. To help mitigate a potential root-zone issue or nutrient lockout, a comprehensive root flush was performed on all three plants immediately following the pest management session. Additionally, a preventive and reactive neem oil treatment was applied to fully address any remaining thrips before moving forward. Current Environmental Metrics Metric | Current Status Light Schedule | 24/7 (Continuous 24-hour runtime) Day Temperature | 26掳C (At peak illumination) Night Temperature | 21掳C (Ambient target) ## Troubleshooting & Recovery Timeline Taking off more leaves than usual, flushing the root zone, and applying foliar neem oil creates an intense triple threat of mechanical, environmental, and root-zone shock. Neem oil can temporarily clog leaf stomata and cause heavy drooping or clawing, especially when applied to a plant already weakened by thrips damage and heavy defoliation. * Recovery window: Expect a timeline of 3 to 5 days for the stressed plant to stabilize its transpiration, adjust to the root-zone moisture level change, and bounce back. ## Next Week's Strategy * Monitor the sluggish plant closely to ensure it shakes off the shock before attempting any further high-stress training (HST). * Keeping a close eye on the under-canopy areas to ensure the thrips infestation was successfully eradicated. * Maintain steady environmental conditions to encourage structural recovery. And finally, a little joke, Why did the thrip get kicked out of the cannabis lounge? Because he kept bugging the budtenders! Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather

This one was Baked in Paris by PerfectTreeSeeds, grown with GreenPlanetNutrients only! Check the other weeks to see the ones with AptusPlantTech! Great zkittles terpz, awesome structure, beautiful colours. So, this is the one I liked the most since day one, love her colours, her structure and her smell, but precisely because of that I was too excited to harvest her that I forgot to take proper photos so I leave the ones of her last days .. Will try to update soon with some pictures of her on the drying screen ahah

Both Plants are beginning to stretch especially the second plant . I鈥檓 guessing they are about to start pre flowering . They鈥檝e been super healthy. I just have a few leaves that go nutrients splashed on them so they鈥檙e looking a little burnt. I expected them to start flowering already but I鈥檓 not complaining .

This week has been great.I'm glad that I was able to pull the plant when I needed to. The weather out here isn't always the best coming towards the end of October. How ever i handle it the best we can. What ive learned to do is wet trim before hang dry. Heres some phots of these glossing nugs. Iknkw ill lose a bitin water weight but im happy none the less. Fire 馃敟 This has been a great grow, I learned a lot from Growing out here in new mexico. It was amazing to be able to train these plants 4 into one using training techniques. LST, HST, Defolation & topping all play a roll. It is fun to learn and sharpen my skills. I hope everyone enjoys my diary. Thank you so much Divine seeds. I appreciate the free seeds and the friendly community competition 馃憣 There's a lot of good growers outthere and I wanna learn from all. Much love 鉂わ笍 I'll be back with a smoke review soon

Week 3. Botanicare is working wonders. I went ahead and topped at the third node. And started giving plants full grow nutes. The Banana Biscotti looks so good I might clone it. The Ice Dream Cake hasn鈥檛 bounced all the way back yet.

2 weeks into the growing season. Things are going well, starting to apply LST to some plants. I have also started to remove little by little those leaves that interfere with light penetration. Bruce Banner unfortunately turned out to be retarded in development, but I won't remove him, in my experience, retarded people often turn out to be very strong ^_^

After all research of why plants are going at different rates the only conclusion Conclusion I鈥檝e come to is to do with the fan being too close to the top left Plant and the Seeds to come from different plants but same strain. Will need to go back to royal queen seeds to ask the question??? Leaf burn from wind burn can slow growth of plants

Things looking almost perfect other than INSECTS!!!!!馃槺 girls have been sprayed top to toe. I鈥檒l continue to observe. But yes other than that great. The gelato are very big plants going outwards and upwards, all possible flowering spots seem to be taking and slowly covering in pistils馃槏馃槏馃槏 Fliwering has commenced 鉁岋笍馃徎馃槵鉁岋笍馃徎 The plants really bulking out now looking good and strong. And really are covered in flowers. They will get a new flowering light and a little more space to grow tomorrow 馃槏馃槏馃槏馃槏 hopefully great tings will follow. I鈥檒l be using New Millennium Decision on the girls for a few days in the next couple of days, they really are as tall as they should go.馃 New light in and tings looking good. After a couple of days under the new light the plants seem more than happy. It鈥檚 quite a slim line light too so I鈥檓 afforded a little extra room up top in case da girls decide to stretch anymore. Things seem to be settling down now and pistils are multiplying quicker by the day. Got a pleasant smell coming from the stems and leaves, very soft and non aggressive possibly a softer take on GSC coming through, but my nose although huge isn鈥檛 that good at picking up subtleties in the aromas it grabs a hold of. The girls really are looking strong and vibrant and seem to be wearing their new found flowers well.

I am dropping a Deep Forest Auto for a coco coir grow in a air pot. First time using a air pot. It should not be any different then using a fabric potter. I scuffed both seed ends lightly. I then dropped it in water. Within 24 to 48 hours of seeing the tap root start I will plant it in the coco. I will then dome it till sprout.

I removed all of the LST strings, to let her grow more freely in her last week. She looks amazing and i am very happy with my first grow. I will harvest her next week or the end of the week. I won't do flushing, because I only use organic fertilizer and want her to grow till her last day. Some crazy Things are happening right now. She ist growing new buds on her buds! I decided to give her another extra week, just to see how this experiment will turn out.

What a fun experience! This was my first time trying a mixed grow style of synthetics and organic. I think I may have found my new go-to strategy. This definitely wasn't a perfect run by any means - as a matter of fact, I botched the feedings earlier in her life. However this grow definitely taught me a lot more about how to treat this strain properly. Now I'm running her clones in the 3x3x6. So the legacy will continue! Let's see how this strain does during the summer months! Cheers everyone! This has been an awesome grow. What I'm lacking in yield, I yet again make up for in quality. And I don't think yield will be an issue with the clones, they're week 6 veg - and quite massive! - RWI out!! 馃榿 馃樁鈥嶐煂笍馃
