Getting wicked smells on stem rubs. Reminds me of a metal shop lol

CAFE RACER 22/4---->13/8 Everything was fine until week 4 when i brought her to my garden. The changing environment slowed her down. Week 7 starts to appear preflower. Streching lasts for 3 weeks(streching x2) Week 4 of bloom starts to smell ( weak) Week 7-8 of bloom: rains a lot so the humidity is high so i harvested her by week 8 of bloom. I have moldy buds(about 5g). THANKS FOR WATCHING THIS DIARY. SEE YOU THE NEXT DIARY.

4/5 Plants are looking good and putting on some weight. Swell has been nice and stank is getting loud. Kloombloom has been used every other day and I'll run some flower girl in a few days for the last time. Trichs are busting out fierce on tricross strain and skunk is building weight and making trichs at a lower level but trichomes they are. I hope this skunk seed produces some better bud as in THC strength. Last batch grown was imo 10-12% and fine for anyone but me apparently. 4/9 All 3 plants are stacking weight but it's not as fat as 2wks ago. Lower larf on tricross is adding density and weight. Those popcorn buds from last grow with tricross was fire. Introduced some dynagrow 3-12-6 to try another nute for a restack of potassium and carbs for possible growth of buds some more. I figured I will let this grow go another 2 weeks to add some potency to the tricross strain. As far as the skunk being grown with them. She will be cut at same time and frozen for my bubble run with all this dry trim to add some fresh terps. 4/11 Plants looking good and ready for flush time. Decided to start light flush today and plan is to cut by friday. Trichs are at 20% now with tricross and skunk I could give 2 shits about. Skunk will be cut and frozen for bubble run with all the trim from this grow and others.

Everything is looking good, frosty nugs crowns, trichomes, keeping it simple with green house feeding bio line 😁

Raspberry Cough and Candyland are sprinting out in front of the holy punch. They both seem stronger and denser. I’ll do a second run of the holy punch next grow to see if I can get a better outcome!

26.08.2024 the fat lady is almost done, i switch 1 part of mega crop by bud explosion. the second harvested have beem dry and trim for a total amount of 189.4 g 1st and second harvested total is now 310 g..... now in the run for a 1 pound plant 29.08.2024 she get is last cut today for a total of 1649.5 g of wet sticky bud.

So strong strain, so many flowers)

Had to isolate one of the ladies due to being a week+ behind the other which involve putting in her own resvoir other four are starting flush. Also had to remove and clean the connection "T" as the roots were plugging up the "T" and restricting flow back to the res. The buds look amazing and am really looking forward to the pay off.

Week 11 | Feb 5 - Feb 11 | Flower Days 36-42 Feb 5 - Flower Day 36 00:15 pre-top-off: pH 5.75 / EC 1.852. A touch high, but still controllable. After top-off it settled at pH 5.70 / EC 1.724. She was drinking around 1.5 L/day, and buds were clearly starting to put on real mass. The canopy still carried scars from the earlier incident, but the flowers themselves looked active and healthy. Feb 6 - Flower Day 37 00:15 pre-top-off EC hit 2.036. That was my cue to stop messing around with dilution. I did a full reservoir change, resetting the system cleanly instead of letting salt concentration creep. The new res went in at pH 5.74 / EC 1.614. She didn’t sulk at all, which was a relief. Feb 7 - Flower Day 38 Pre-top-off the numbers were calmer: EC ~1.500 / pH 6.18. After topping off with pH-adjusted water and letting it circulate, pH settled at 5.98. She drank less than a liter this day, but given stretch was over and the plant had just had a full res swap, that didn’t automatically worry me. Trichomes were becoming more visible on the sugar leaves - resin building, not just “hair.” Feb 8 - Flower Day 39 00:15 pre-top-off: pH 5.4 / EC 1.488. pH drifting down was a new pattern compared to earlier in the grow. After top-off it settled at pH 5.72 / EC 1.528. Drinking picked back up. That combination - falling EC with rising uptake - felt like the plant was properly feeding again. Feb 9 - Flower Day 40 00:10 pre–top-off: EC 1.532 / pH 5.6. After top-off it landed at pH 5.7 / EC 1.488. Stable, predictable behavior. No new spread of damage. Bud sites looked more “structured” now, and the smell was back to pungent and sweet rather than that old hay panic. Feb 10 - Flower Day 41 00:10 pre-top-off: pH 5.84 / EC 1.566. She drank about 2 liters over the last 24h, which was the clearest sign yet that she was working hard again. After top-off, 15 minutes later, she settled at pH 5.90 / EC 1.518. Then I did the big job: a major defoliation / cleanup. It was honestly a jungle down there and airflow needed help. I removed nearly all leaves with noticeable discoloration, plus a lot of shaded lower fan leaves that weren’t contributing. I left a few that were only slightly marked so I wouldn’t overstrip her. The difference was immediate: way better airflow, and more tops exposed properly. My fingers were ridiculously sticky afterwards and the smell was loud and pungent - and that was reassuring. Buds were clearly beginning to gain real mass. Feb 11 - Flower Day 42 00:13 pre-top-off: pH 5.88 / EC 1.608. This was the night I decided to do a tiny, controlled nutrient bump in the top-off water: 1 ml per liter each of Micro, Grow, and Bloom. After circulation it settled at pH 5.88 / EC 1.670 - exactly the outcome I wanted. Slight lift, no spike, no instability. This week felt like the real transition from recovery into bulk. The canopy still has scars, but the plant is behaving like a producer again - drinking, feeding, and stacking.

So I suspect the strain isn't all that stable but I'm having a fun time with the variation. They smell wonderful, very fruity, with cream and pepper, though Weirdo has stronger sweet spice scents over fruit. She might be around a lot longer than the other two to finish her run. My lil' Eldritch monstrosity :)

She loved all the training she underwent. She never really gave me any grief for it either. She took to the training and kept coming back for more. I would recommend this for anyone with any skill level00

OMG she's beautiful 😍 Purple flowers!! 😍

some colas have been growing taller than the others I really dont want to keep adjusting them to the same high! I think im going to leave her be! and see what happens. started feeding her bc bloom to estimulate flowers I really dont know what to expect from her! I just hope im doing it right

So this week we started with her signals of pre-flowering. It still far from the development that the other plants achieved, but since this is my first time ever growing plant, it's quite possible that I committed some mistakes that cause this low pace process. Hopefully, it will be good from this point forward!

A little defoliation, water only yet about 1/2 to 3/4 of gal every 2 to 3 days, no problems noticed. Starting to show signs of flowering.

On day 1 I transplanted 2 BB clones into 3 gal smart pots with coco coir. I watered them in with veg formula and set up my blumat watering system with week 1 flower nutes. I raised PPFD to 600-700. On day 2 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.4 to 6.0. The rez is 823 ppm. The tops are 16.5" from the grow light. The blumats have not started watering yet and I will monitor to ensure it goes smoothly. I have the blumats set at 1.25 carrots on left plant and 1 carrot on right plant. The average PPFD of my 16 tops is 703 PPFD. I increased temps to 85 day 81 night to get leaf surface around 80 f during day. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 782 ppm. The blumats have started watering and I will monitor closely over the next few days. On day 4 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.1. The rez is 717ppm. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is steady at 6.1. The rez is 706 ppm. The highest top is 15.25" from the light. I defoliated to bring in more air and light to deeper into the canopy. I increased the flow rate of blumat by .5 carrot on the right plant as it was a little to dry for my liking. The Clones are preforming well. On day 6 the reservoir PH is going down so I adjusted up from 6.0 to 6.2. The rez is 730 ppm. The highest cola is 14.75" from the light. The left plant had a runaway so I reduced blumat by 1 carrot. I increased flow of blumat on right plant by .5 carrot as it is still drier than I would like. On day 7 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.0. The highest cola is 14.25". I reset rez with nutes.
