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°C (At peak illumination) Night Temperature | 21°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

We surely are in flowering phase after some great veg stage. The 20/4 cycle had a great impact in terms of their height, next 8/10 days the Gorrila Z will leave the tent; so they will be able to gather more light and hopefully continue thriving :3 Also, Did some measures and here are the sizes: -Critical mass 90cm -Moby 1 - 60 cm -Moby 2 71cm -Moby 3 63cm -Lsd 01 80cn -Lsd 02 70cm

All plants have nugs but the quick one . My F1 /royal critical & Royal gorilla all are looking like they are gonna have some weight stacked up. First grow is going amazing definitely hooked on growing these RQS seeds !!

THURSDAY 7/18: I FIM'd her today. She's growing quickly now.. but looking at her, I'm still not so sure it wasn't really a spinach seed😂 But seriously, I'm thinking that I used too much Mycotrex or Great White while she was still too young or something. Her roots were looking awesome when I transplanted her, but she's got some weird-looking foliage.. FRIDAY: Inspected for pests and repositioned her in a spot that gets another half hour of sunlight per day. I sprayed the area with Ortho again and bought a little air bubbler to aerate water for compost tea.2 SATURDAY: She put on a couple of inches since Thursday. I mixed up a fairly weak batch of Big Bloom and Grow Big plus some Kelp Me Kelp You and douched her with about a half-gallon right as the sun was coming up. I also prepared a foliar feed using Big Bloom and Kelp Me Kelp You and sprayed her well as the sun came up, and again after it was going down. I also started aerating 4 gallons of water today...will add the compost tea tomorrow morning and let it cook for 24 hours. SUNDAY: I foliar fed her and sprinkled little more Silicium Flash on top of the soil of all my plants and mixed about 4 grams of Bactrex into a jug with 3/4 gallon of bottled water and douched all my plants with about 2 pints each. That should really get the beneficial bacteria and fungus kicked into overdrive. I started brewing a 4 gallon batch of compost tea today. Since I don't have any Orgatrex, I am using a little Big Bloom, Kelp Me Kelp You, and Grow Big in the tea in addition to the PK Compost Booster tea from Bi Tabs. I'll add Mycotrex to it about 2 hours before it finishes and thoroughly dowse them all tomorrow morning. MONDAY: She got about a a liter and a half of freshly brewed compost tea and a foliar feeding right after the sun came up. She's a happy camper.👍

Mai 17 I did some lollipoping on mai 14 Last week before go in flowering !

Die fünfte Blütewoche ist zu Ende: Viel habe ich nicht gemacht. Die Buds schwellen jeden Tag sichtbar an, der Geruch hat sich in Richtung Kirschkaugummi entwickelt. Bei der rechten Pflanze entwickelt sich ein kleiner Rotstich. Anzeichen vom purpeln? Wär ja cool.

Hello ,friends!!!! My RUNTZ continues to bloom. Earthy smell with hints of mint and hashish. I water in the same way: every day to prevent salting. I wrote earlier that this plant at the start showed the hay very well, but then it was stagnant in growth, the plant stopped drinking and eating until I washed it with clean water. This time I missed a week. :( Never mind, I'll give this sort one more chance. I added some more extra food from GNHE and HESI

Week 16. This is the final week. I will harvest this girl on Sunday as it is ready. I have already tried some and it is very nice, strong, it makes my body relaxing, my limbs are easy. Lovely strain and very strong, this is good medical stuff. As it can be seen it is full of flowers, and a lot of THC. From tomorrow ( Friday) I will not give any water because Sunday it will be harvested. Friday: Last day of watering. Saturday: Tomorrow is harvest day. No water for the plant. I will be back tomorrow.

This strain has a name that really intrigues us, a fame that goes beyond the oceans and is produced by Zamnesia top ingredients for success. One of the two Green Crack F1 Hybrids was replanted because I noticed too late some placenta problems and it was damaged but only because of me it was immediately replaced and we are ready to give our best. Growing projects for autoflowering plants ----- As for autoflowering plants I really love preserving the Main Cola. So I will try to make or grow the plants well or badly without damaging the main cola. Nowadays topping autoflowering plants is very accepted but it is not my favorite thing to transform a baby born to finish in 10 weeks into a baby that finishes in 14, I say at this point I do photoperiodic. But in times of people who only grow autoflowering everything is permitted for goodness sake if you want to do it, do it I will not be the one to stop you. Also because the results are excellent nothing to really discuss about anything except time. All this to tell us that I recommend for example fimming on plants that tend to grow tall to give power to the lateral branches, LST as much as you want, I don't like too much spread out I need space. HST and splitting are with experience. These are my tips not the absolute truth please do not mistake me for a great wise holder of the truth I speak as I see it. The first week went only with Power Roots 1 Ml/l and Pure Zym 1 ml/l from now on we will start with ALga Grow. The plants were transplanted shortly after germination because the biodegradable pots were very small. The soil is Plagron Pro Mix 100% organic renewed with 30% new soil and 20% Perlite added. (Pro mix has no perlite but it is airy, we added it anyway) Plagron nutrients are available at Zamnesia in convenient pack formats for all growing styles. I used this one with a simple search you can find the other products. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/12119-plagron-top-grow-box-100-naturale.html Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy... ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10677-zamnesia-seeds-green-crack-f1-automatic.html Zamnesia Description // Forget what you think you know about cannabis.

Hi to all! the plants the springs grow perfectly! they are 51 days old and I water them every two days with fertilizer! the buds swell a lot and it smells strong also the crystals multiply! temperatures continue to be at 32+ degrees but the strain is very resistant to heat!

Nov 13 - Day 94 - More bulking up, girls are holding water longer. Watered Older plant at 7.45PM. Started defoliating withered leaves with trichomes, I'm keeping those for now, and will combine with bubble hash trim. Nov 14 - Day 95 - Both pots aren't super light so I'll wait until tomorrow and water both at the same time. Starting to think about drying and harvest, I suspect there to be a fortnight between each harvest - but unsure if I can afford the tent space with next run growing. I think I'll water either as lights turn off (if humidity wont rise) or first thing on Nov 15. Nov 14 - Trichomes are milky with the speckle of clear and amber. Lets hope the lagging cola fattens up in the week to come. Nov 14 - WATERED Younger plant at 10.30PM. Nov 15 - Watered Older plant at 3PM Nov 16 - Watered Younger plant at 5PM Nov 17 - Woke up to 80F. Likely at higher temp for 1 hour before noticing. Defoliated a few leaves, including one or two with trichomes, of which I've saved. Nov 18 - Watered Older plant at 6AM. Younger plant pot is light at lights off- will water first thing in the morning. Also removed dead tips and accidentally chopped a healthy fan leaf. I was hoping to chop today, but it might be another week before the younger plant is ready. Nov 19 - DAY 100 - Watered Younger plant at 10.30AM. Trichomes are developing nicely, I suspect 1 more week with younger plant which makes me wonder when to chop older plant.

They are growing nicely after feeding a compost tea ☕️ that was heavy in fungal matter. The buds are beginning to take shape and a couple of the plants have begun to deliver some bud formation. Smells are beginning to take effect as well, with heavy whiffs of earth and diesel.

Steady week, all the girls seem to just keep getting bigger and bigger! Defoliated which I forgot to take pictures of however, they literally replaced the foliage in days! I Have a slight worry about one of the GG as she seems to be carrying on vegging with no real signs of flowering, just stretching more each day!? This seems strange as the Stardawgs look like they could be ready for flush in the coming weeks.. I am only a newbie so maybe i'm just been a little paranoid!? Either way She's absolutely massive!! Got the Dawgs out for a little photoshoot!

Nothing special this week, everything just going as it should. A tiny little problem was: weather. She went thru some high temps for maybe 4h (up to 35C), took a bit more of water than normal and looked wasted that day, but on next day she was just fine! Now entering her final umpf, leaves starting to yellow everywhere, most pistils are brown, but no sign of amber trichs! Right now >90% are cloudy (zoom in), still giving her feed for more 3-4 days and then just plain water for more 10-14 days. Maybe I’ll get 10-20% amber in the end, which is just fine for me :)

Solo cup challenge continues to press along. Not much change, plants are in veg, growing and healthy. Still a few weeks before the flowers start so I hope to get a bit of size going before it does. Having fun and really like looking at the other entries in this contest. Check out WildeWeed, Butterstotch and BeanswithPork, silky, larimar, fireman

📆 Semana 5 La fase de engorde se intensifica y los cogollos aumentan de densidad y peso de forma notable. Los cálices comienzan a apilarse con mayor rapidez, los pistilos siguen siendo mayoritariamente blancos y la producción de tricomas se acelera, cubriendo cada vez más las flores y las hojas cercanas. La planta concentra prácticamente toda su energía en el desarrollo floral. El consumo de agua continúa siendo elevado, aunque el crecimiento vegetativo ya es mínimo. Mantener una nutrición equilibrada y unas condiciones ambientales estables será clave para maximizar el tamaño, la calidad y la producción de resina sin provocar excesos de fertilización. ⚡ EC: 1.7-1.8 💧 pH: 6.2–6.5 🌡️ Agua: 21°C 🌫️ Humedad: 40–45% 💡 Intensidad: 1050–1150 PPFD 🔥 Nota de cultivo: La resina comienza a desarrollarse con fuerza y los cogollos ganan consistencia día a día. Mantener un buen equilibrio entre riego, nutrición y clima permitirá aprovechar al máximo esta etapa de engorde. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Day 50 The lower leaves of the plant turned yellow I have two options that could have caused the lower leaves to turn yellow The first is a lack of nitrogen. In the last two weeks, I have reduced the dose of AD Grow fertilizer from 4 ml to 2 ml which contains nitrogen and i have not added AD B-52 for two weeks The second option is that I measure the ph with drops I don’t have digital one and there may be an ph error one more detail: I was out of town for a few days and when I returned, the ground was as dry as a desert, but I don't think that is the cause Defoliation has been done for several days now Defoliation has been done for several days now. P.s If you had a similar problem, I would like to hear about what could be the cause and how I can help the plant. ;)

Edit from 16th May. Ok, so... I got Fungus Gnats... I vacuum cleaned my plant my accident... Overwatered first 2 plants... This is not like riding bicycle, I had to re-learn few things. But we going strong! The biggest plant (Fat Banana week #4) growing big and strong, every 2 hours I can notice some changes, she seems to like the environment (32C and ~40% Humidity), soil stays wet for weeks literally. I have to buy bottom feeders and keep the top soil dry bone to prevent Fungus Gnats having sex in wet soil. I have switched to 600W now and I put my lamp around 30cm higher then before. I have a net for Sea Of Green hanging and waiting but Im not sure If Im gonna use it or If I'm gonna "lollipop" these plants just because there is so many of them now there. I didn't "top" because I believe that main cola produce some banger THC content and terps, so I want to focus on all main colas and just tackle the side ones. Edit from 17th May. It looks like Fungus Gnats don't like 24h light. I can see larvas trying to eat the roots (fuck you you fucking.... FuckYouGnat). But I don't see adults flying around. 4x yellow tape helps as well for sure. I ordered some Nematodes, they should be here next week. Until then I'm fighting manually. I placed a decoy on most of the pots. I'm hoping to attract larvas to the decoy instead of baby roots of my plants. They already eat one of my seedling before it even fully open the shell, so I think there are not so many of them to attack all plants at once. I feel like I'm having more and more control over them everyday. Moving the dry soil to the sides also helps a bit with killing larvas. Just uncover the wet parts with larvas and blast them with all the watts you have. So far 2 big plants looks good and healthy, some praying leafs every now and then. I think I'm gonna leave the lights for 24/7 until I'm gonna be sure these FuckYouGnats are gone. Edit form 18th May. Nematodes arrived, I mixed 1 pack in 2L and watered all 8 pots. I have 1 pack left that I'm planning to use next week or after 2 weeks. Lady Banana is showing her sex. I was worried that it looks like hermie but I think it's just Calyx in very early stage. She also looks "wilt", I guess from all that dry period, she got some water today with nematodes, I'll check on her tomorrow. Vacuum Cleaner Surviver going strong! I believe she would even survive a house fire!
