We started week. 10 Hey there guys I've been super busy Day 64 Check video Fed them 1670ppm Followed by water with lil runoff Day 65 Check video Day 66 Outdoors for 3hrs Rested for 6hrs no lights Because of blackout I know it sucks Humidity 60% Day 67 Humidity 45% Got some vids and pics for you guys She's all good Buds fattening up Day 68 Water them a lil bit 0.5l each Temp 24C RH 45% Day 69 Outdoors for a day since we didn't have electricity from 10am til 7pm Good thing we have sun light right? And it's very bright but very hot as well Temp reached 33 Celsius but we had her on sprayed mist until it dried out completely than refresh her again and so She didn't stress at all shes good After thar electricity came back and we turn on the setup grow lights ac and all stuff Back to normal again Day 70 Same stuff than 69 Nothing wrong all is good Temp reached 33 then dropped to 24 at night time Coming up next week last meal nutes

Sep 5: starting the eighth week of flowering and Gorilla Cookies Fast Flowering is a great plant. She smells great and the buds are getting big and heavy. I’m now pretty sure she will be well over a pound of high quality dried bud which is awesome. Sep 9: bud rot starting in one cola so immediately removed. Daily inspections now to check for any brown and shriveled leaves due to rot and carefully removing it. Sep 11: found two or three outbreaks of bud rot as shown by shrivelled leaves. Nasty thing bud rot. Will have to keep the plant out of the rain and keep checking it daily. Nice heavy indica buds are almost ready but not yet. Carefully removed followed by hand and tool cleaning to keep from spreading the spores. Sigh.

F66 Humboldt Sour Diesel SD3 only the tops buds swoll. the rest of the main colas didnt fatten up. Maybe it was me or the genetics or just the light distribution? She doesnt smell as vibrant as at F50-55. I dont know if she was ready back then SD2 buds fattened up and since she showed signs of flowering a week later than SD2, it seems she is ready for harvest now as the she smells more vibrant right now at F66 I harvested Humboldt Sour Diesel at F68. SD2:137g wet 25dry SD3: 251g wet 48dry

So as the week ends and I draw closer to harvest(10 weeks of flower 17 in all) of my first ever grow I trimmed dried and smoked a bottom bud that was wasting nutes. Jesus God in heaven it's got a kick already. Send me a like! Make a comment. I'm here alot.

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

Shes looking great!!! got some nice flowers started and I bent the main cola back just a little more with a yoyo to give the other branches better light coverage. Got the lady all trimmed up and looking lovely. With some luck and lots of effort it should be smooth sailing for the next month or so as everything is in place in the tent and virtually all trimming done its time to just let the flowers grow!!!

Stretching has ended finally and budding and stacking has started, yay

Week 9 .......... Flower Week.........June 6 to 12, 2020 ........ Days 57 to 63 from germination The two girl are sure opposites of each other in how this grow is turning out😂😂👍 GSC2 didn’t get a good transplant and she has really suffered for it........add in that both of them were battling high pH in first weeks and thus the reason for the transplant from the fabric pots into plastic.......she is actually hanging in there and this week progressed well. GSC on the other hand I just have to put into her own tent!!!! She is too freaking big!!!!! I can’t fit her in with the other flowering girls and have any success at the grow👍💪👊😉 The environment is not where it needs to be though for flower so added another humidity controller and smaller full spectrum light to bump up to 300 watt range in the veg/flower tent now. Had limited choice with a limited budget and needed it now. I could go through more fooling around for only roughly 3 more weeks before others are done and could combine the plants.......good excuse though to have increased flexibility going forward😉😉😉👍 Feed amount have been as expected with GSC taking 4L most days while GSC2 is more of 2.5L range when feeding. Have noticed they are taking more water in the taller 3 gallon plastic pots. That is a lot of bottles listed but they are never fed that all at once. That is just a full list of products used this week and the dosage in that feed. I have been holding the feed numbers around 1000 ppm the last week and I think she can take more so have bumped that up to 1300 range for the next week. Expect to see some tip burn as pushing them but very little so far. GSC is now 36” and 36” wide but her bud sites are not very big in my opinion. I have replaced G.P. Massive with A.N.Big Bud for now as I don’t need her getting any taller......just grow BIG BUD😃😃 GSC2 is being fed the same schedule as GSC and the same feed so all numbers are the same. GSC2 is only 17” tall though and 24” wide. GSC Environment has been hovering at 80 degrees and 50 percent humidity most of the days. (Another Humidity controller and light arrive this week.) GSC2 Environment has been hovering at 79 degrees and 61 percent humidity for most of the week. Yeast and sugar CO2 in use. Fast Buds strain is solid👊💪👍😍 as is evident in GSC......all issues are grower related to pH problems in first three weeks of their life. Little more detail: June 6, Day 57 - 8L mixture with BigBud @ 2ml, VeloKelp, Rezin, liquid Wt, Vitathrive, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml = 1275ppm and 6.1pH - GSC took 5L and GSC took 3L. - turning lights down yesterday helped. Both girls leaves are standing up more now, June 7, Day 58 - debated on feed but mixed 8L with BigBud @ 2ml, Rhinoskin, VeloKelp, Rezin, liquid Wt @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 1015ppm and 5.6pH - GSC took 6L and GSC2 2L.......good run off from GSC but none from GSC2 - GSC tent needs more humidity in it......working on it - GSC2 is not looking all that great with her long fan leaves. June 8, Day 59 - dry out day - GSC is doing very well and looking big. - GSC2 is doing better since in the flower tent and under the T5 light. June 9, Day 60 - mixed 8L water with Massive and Terpinator @ 3ml, Sensizyme, Rezin, Vitathrive @ 2ml, Liquid Wt @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 1050ppm and 5.6pH - GSC given 5L and GSC2 was 3L. - Full strength feed as things are going okay overall. - GSC2 is getting taller and lower branches standing up more now. - GSC is happy by herself😀 June 10, Day 61 - 6L mixture with BigBud, Rezin @ 2ml, Liquid Wt @ 1.5ml = 475ppm - 4L for GSC and 2L for GSC2 - fair bit of runoff - GSC2 still has lots of leaves but they are not touching the pot anymore, she is getting taller. - GSC is really happy with her leaves way up. Buds are getting bigger as well......slowly😳 June 11, Day 62 - Dry out day today. - left them alone. - GSC will remain by herself. Need to get the humidity up over the 53% though. Temp is fine at 79 degrees. June 12, Day 63 - 8L mixture with Terpinator @ 3ml, BigBud, Rezin, Vitathrive @ 2ml, Sensyzime, Liquid Wt, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml = 1350ppm and pH to 5.6 - GSC took 5L and GSC2 was 3L.......good runoff amounts from both. - GSC2 taken off the milk crate today. Stripped more leaves as well. Looking better at the end of the week👍

Cette semaine c'est bien passé gros développement des plantes.

last top for lollipops

July 27: still growing fast. The new growth is a bit yellow and I haven’t decided what that’s due to. Lack of sulphate or excess Phosphorus are the two options I think. Anyway, she’s doing fine and is startling to preflower. 👍 Started using a 730 nm far red light for a few seconds at dusk. This is called phyto-forcing apparently because it promotes flowering. I really love science when it figures out random shit like how photosynthesis and light wavelength (or colour) interact. Outdoor plants naturally see a flash of far red light just before darkness and this light kind of ‘puts it to sleep’ or into dark mode two hours faster. So, two extra hours darkness or a 26 hour day. Sounds bogus but is totally legit. July 28: foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. July 30: plant is looking great. The yellow on the new growth has faded and is now a better looking shade of green. I think it might have been excess P because the other plants kind of had it too and the timing was a couple days after adding barley and Power Bloom. This is right at the start of flowering when plants need lot of P, and the yellow is fading, so I’ll just let it go without doing anything about it. She’ll get over it.

Blütetag 77 – Geduld zahlt sich aus Drei Wochen über Herstellerangabe – und genau deshalb fühlt sich dieser Zeitpunkt richtig an. Ich habe mich bewusst entschieden, nicht nach Kalender, sondern nach Reifegrad zu gehen. Ziel ist ein stark körperbetontes, sedierendes Endergebnis – also Geduld statt Eile. Der Fade ist deutlich, die Blätter verlieren an Kraft, während die Buds dicht, harzig und vollständig ausgereift wirken. Jetzt geht es nicht mehr um Masse, sondern um Feinreife. Die finale Woche beginnt. 🌿 Abschlussbericht – Franco’s Lemon Cheese 🍋🧀 | Tag 80 – Ernte Tag 80. Heute ist der Tag, auf den ich die ganze Zeit hingearbeitet habe: Erntezeit. Nach geduldigem Warten ist der Amber-Anteil jetzt genau da, wo ich ihn haben wollte – und damit ist für mich der perfekte Punkt erreicht, um die Schere anzusetzen. Dieser Run war für mich vor allem eins: Kontrolle, Geduld und Feintuning. Ich hab bewusst nicht überhastet reagiert, sondern die Pflanze sauber bis zum Ende geführt. Die letzten Tage waren nochmal pures Beobachten: Trichome checken, Reife bewerten, Bauchgefühl + Lupe zusammenführen – und heute hat’s einfach „klick“ gemacht. Was ich mitnehme aus diesem Grow • Timing schlägt Stress: Das bisschen extra warten hat sich gelohnt – genau diese letzten Prozent machen am Ende den Unterschied. • Reife vor Optik: Nicht nur nach „sieht fertig aus“ gehen, sondern nach dem, was die Trichome wirklich sagen. • Stabil bis zum Schluss: Gerade die Endphase entscheidet, ob man mit einem guten Ergebnis endet oder mit einem „hätte ich mal…“. Jetzt startet Phase 2 Ab jetzt geht’s nicht mehr um Wachstum, sondern um Qualität sichern: Trocknung, Klima, Geduld – und dann Curing, bis die Franco’s Lemon Cheese genau das wird, was sie sein soll: hart, aromatisch, sauber, fertig. Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden mit den nächsten Updates zu: • Wet Trim / Dry Trim • Trocknungsdauer & Klima • Erster Smoke-/Vape-Test • Curing-Woche 1–4 Bis hierhin: Run sauber durchgezogen. Heute wird geerntet. 🍋🧀✂️ Trocknung ist gestartet und läuft kontrolliert über den Controller: • 60% rF • 2% Totzone • 16–18°C Jetzt heißt’s: Ruhe bewahren, Klima stabil halten und langsam trocknen, damit Terps und Qualität sauber erhalten bleiben. Nächster Step: Dry-Check & Trim, sobald die Äste anfangen leicht zu “snappen”.

Stretching well, these are looking great! I'm hopeful for a good turnout

This is about the start of her 4th week or so. I can't remember the day she popped out of the soil. I topped about a week ago and she is doing awesome.

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 4 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics. Girl nr 1 is 27 cm high and girl nr 2 is 22 cm high. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-12. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. Girl Nr1 has grown 5 cm in 23 hours, from 27 to 32 cm.😍 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-13. Kl 22.00. Everything is looking great in the garden right now. Added new video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-15. KL 10.00. New video added. Girls are looking great and they got 3 liters of water and nutes this morning. Girl Nr 1 is 38 cm high and Nr 2 is 28. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-16. Kl 10.00. The girls grow like crazy, i have to defoliate about 20 leafs a day.

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y también, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾 Nueve semanas de floración de esta planta cultivada en tierra mágica, Lentamente la planta va consumiendo las hojas más viejas, succiona sus nutrientes, y después, éstas agotadas caen al sustrato para continuar el ciclo de los minerales y el humus, que es la vida. Continúa con gran consumo de agua, riego profundamente cada 3 días, parece que el apetito de esta planta es insaciable, le doy Bio Nutrientes, Enmiendas secas al sustrato y nada es suficiente para esta reina. Las colas han oscurecido, presentan tonos entre lilas y morados... destacarán en mi bodega de marihuana, espero que los efectos estén a la altura. Tal y como va la planta creo que tiene energía suficiente para dos semanas más de cultivo... todo por la causa! Hasta pronto... SALUDOS A TODOS ============================= Info de la cepa Blubonik: https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Bluebonik/Genehtik_Seeds/ - Cruce de Kootenay Blueberry x Blueberry. - Es una planta de altura media, crecimiento robusto con grandes hojas. - Floración Interior: 60-65 días. - Su efecto es muy fuerte, completamente indico. ==============

Wow she doubled her height this week. Grew 9cm! Got loads bushier too. She was repotted too into her 10 litre fabric pot forever home.
