Marijuana cultivation, like any agricultural endeavor, involves various techniques to optimize growth, yield, and potency of the plant. This is the week to make it happen! One such advanced technique is High-Stress Training (HST). HST is employed to control the growth pattern of the marijuana plant, making it more bushy rather than tall. This is beneficial for indoor growers with limited vertical space. Moreover, HST exposes more of the plant's foliage to light, which can lead to enhanced photosynthesis. This results in a plant that can produce more buds, which are denser and more potent. Given that light is a primary energy source for plants, maximizing light exposure can drastically improve the overall quality and quantity of the harvest. Topping is a specific form of HST that involves cutting off the main stem's topmost growth. This method forces the plant to divert its energy and nutrients to the lower branches, promoting the development of multiple main colas instead of a single dominant one. By encouraging a more even canopy, topping ensures that light is distributed more uniformly across the plant. This reduces the chances of having underdeveloped buds at the lower sections of the plant due to light deprivation. Topping also curtails the plant's height, making it more manageable, especially for indoor growers with limited space. HST and topping are integral for modern marijuana growers seeking to enhance their yields. These techniques address the spatial constraints faced by many growers and ensure that the marijuana plant receives optimal light exposure. The end goal of these methodologies is to increase yield and potency, and when done correctly, they can transform a mediocre harvest into a bountiful one. Cultivators who invest time in understanding and implementing these techniques stand to benefit significantly from their marijuana crops.

Flowering is going great so far and temps are staying low with the light on full blast. I'm running dangerously close to running out of space though, the last grow stayed so short and bushy, this one got very lanky during flower, I have 3 inches before I go past 12 inches between the canopy. Hopefully the stretch has slowed down. Noticed some burnt leaf ends so I dialed it back on the calmag to 3ml per gal. Also noticed spring tails in the water, but after reading I'm not worried about those little guys in my soil. This plant is massive and takes the whole tent up

Day 172. Some strains ended up frosty, smelly and nuggy, so I already have 76 g from first Strawberry, rest should bring some buds too, couple plants will go untrimmed to my friends as presents, one was already given away ... Think I will have like 300 g easy, and my friends got same amount as presents. Not a bad project, with loads of issues, happily almost no care was given or needed, so I count it as a result achieved : 1. I know that Hermie is bringing other hermies. 2. UK weather is only for autos, that lesson should be learnt long time ago, but I still hope to find mold resilient strain... No updates or other strain harvests will be done, have no time to play ... Happy Growing !!!

***DIVINE SEEDS ***** *****OPIUM***** Sponsored grow Week 4 Germination April 6. Week 1 water only Week 2 water only Week 3 added recharge and* TPS1 increasing ppm to 570. Week 4 added calmag, did LST and defoliation. Before & after pics. Increase ppm to 685 This week 4/28-5/4 consisted of plain ph 6.6-6.9 water with recharge, calmag and TPS1. 4/24 updated my ACInfinity app and started using the advanced programming settings for early vegetation. This is keeping humidity in 70% with temps in 80. What I don't like is using advanced programming, the humidifier is at level6 . This spews moisture directly on my plants, into the drain tray and floor. 5/1 I did some LST and defoliation. Before and after pics above. Until the plants are big enough to go outside, I will be using my AC Infinity tent and equipment. Once outside, I will be watering with well water and recharge and any additional fertilizers or amendments will be determined at that time. Thank you @DivineSeeds Thanks for the likes and comments, I appreciate all the plant love๐Ÿ’š. Have fun & love what you grow ๐Ÿ’š Sending love and light ๐Ÿ’ซ ๐Ÿ’ซNatrona ๐Ÿ’ซ DIVINE SEEDS ***OPIUM*** Harvest:1000 g/m2 Divine Seeds developed Opium as a new champion strain, unprecedently powerful and loaded with unbelievable quantities of resin. Certainly, no average genetic base could be behind such brilliant parameters! Several Afghani Indica landraces, recognized as most potent and resinous, were bred together with a mighty Brazilian Sativa which Opium inherits its bright berry taste from. Then a great deal of work followed aiming for the highest THC level and endurability as well as a branchy structure that would provide maximal yields. Now we can proudly title Opium the best Indica you could dream of growing! Indoors these plants mostly stay mid-height (1.5 m), reaching up to 2.0 m out of doors. Depending on your height limitations, Opium flourishes universally in grow boxes, balconies, green houses and terraces. Due to its Afghani parentage, this strain can stand hot weather if provided enough water and some shadow. Responds well to any training techniques: ScroG and SoG, LST, topping and FIM, supercropping. The start of blooming is marked with a rush of growth, when plants stretch almost 1.4x. Expect heavy colas that often require additional supports. Whilst ripening, Opium gives off a pungent earthy stench with fruity and berry undertones, also a bit of pine. Ready for outdoor harvesting in October. The stoning psychedelic impact of Opium is like being hypnotized (unless youโ€™ve had too much, then it feels more like a blackout). Stone-lovers will appreciate every minute with Opium: its spicy taste immerses your mind into daydreaming, while the body rests flat. Recreation with this psychedelic Indica means silent tripping from one insight to another. Mighty enough to kill chronical pains, Opium is also medically efficient against insomnia, nausea, appetite disorders, muscle spasms, headaches, irritation, fatigue, panic attacks, epilepsy. Best consumed at night time, the effects keep going for up to 4 hours.

Week 9 (Week 1 of flowering) has been a jaw-dropping experience in my Tropical Tangie Ninja Run. Our girl is absolutely killing it! Her luscious green foliage is a sight to behold, and my Lego Ninja buddies are always on point, making sure everything is in order. The excitement escalated as I spotted those little preflowers showing up towards the end of the week. I have a strong hunch that she's going to turn into a flowering monster during the first two weeks! <3 <3 <3 To support this explosive flowering growth, I made some savvy moves in my nutrient game. I decided to switch from my root booster to the fruit booster. Why, you ask? Well, my Tangie is transitioning her focus from root development to bud production. So, it's like shifting gears to give her exactly what she needs to create those magnificent flowers! But that's not all. I also added some P-booster to my nutrient mix. You might wonder why? It's because this little ninja booster is packed with phosphorus, the secret ingredient that stimulates robust flower formation. We want those buds to be big, dense, and super potent! <3 <3 With a canopy as lush as this, I'm already contemplating a potential defoliation around day 21 of flowering. It's like planning my ninja strategy in advance! But let's keep that for the next update hehe. As for her TDS numbers, they might not seem massive at 230, but remember, I'm using those amazing Aptus All-in-One Pellets mixed with the soil. Her main NPK is already packed in there, and these boosters are just giving her that extra ninja kick! With room temperatures at 28.9ยฐC and a humidity level of 62%, the conditions are perfect for our Tangie to thrive. I can't contain my excitement for this epic ninja run! I'm deeply grateful for your unwavering support and the wonderful products from Aptus Holland that have played a crucial role in this journey. You all make this adventure truly special, and I'm thrilled to have you by my side, also of corse a huge SHOUT OUT to Dutch Passion for this incredible oportunity and for the amazing genetics they create and release to the world <3<3<3 Stay tuned for the next update, where we'll witness the true transformation of our Tangie into a flowering ninja goddess! <3 <3 <3 As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #dutchpassion #dogdoctorofficial #legoninjago #growerslove โ€จ With true love comes happiness <3 <3 <3 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so <3 <3 <3 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only <3 <3 <3 Growers Love To you All <3 <3 <3 ๐ŸŒฟ

D64/F12 - 11.18 - Been a really incredible week for these ladies. All of them are thriving with lovely prebuds <3 D67/F15 - 11.21 - Lovely progress. Even the least beautiful plant in the garden is reaching above the peony rings :) D70/F18 - 11.24 - Pretty aggressive defoliation on these ladies today. They responded great last round, so I expect to see the start to put a lot of weight on soon. The black sugars (second column of three from the left) we way more leafy than the fast white widows

2nd week of flower.... Stretching well and very even thanks to the scrog as one branch will always seem to go crazy with its stretch so just weave it back through the net and bring it back down to canopy height. 3 ml 3ml grow n bloom were now up too and no burnt tips so I think were in the sweet spot at the moment and reading her very well!! A field of tops is what we like and a field of tops is what we see thanks to all our lst bending and tying down and then the introduction of the net has given us our desired result and I would give it a solid 8 out of 10 for execution this time round so I'm really happy with how it's going so far. The genetics are resilient and resistant to alot so if your harm your wedding gelatos you really need to think about dialing it back a touch and giving her the freedom she wants. Smell is amazing and we ain't even got bud yet!!! @rqs they really have done wonders creating this strain and I reccomend to all gardeners high-ly ๐Ÿ˜‰ The rqs easy boost organic nutrition: (only using on one plant as a test run) Has worked brilliant so far throughout these first 7 weeks but have noticed some fading on a couple fan leaves.. I had the option of topping it up by sprinkling more granules on the top soil or using the easy booster and I chose the latter and within a day or so I'm noticing the health is fully restored and all new growth is a lovely healthy green.... half way through my verdict is it's a very good product and makes feeding time easy and quicker for the gardener so at this moment in time I can say it's something worth investing in.. Check back next week for updates! Happy gardening

Day 42- Theyโ€™re all looking and smelling great. Fed with some cronk nutrients as Iโ€™ve decided to not top dress yet. So wanted to give them a little boost but no issues or complaints. Keep it simple. Just hittin em when dry and turning pots to maximize what coverage I have with the S33 Day 47- hit them with 2 molasses feedings every other day. Still no major issues, a little tip burn on all of them from the Cronk besides the BG3. Sheโ€™s still green as can be but still the smallest and frostiest. BG1 is just fire. Regretting not getting more tops on her. Sheโ€™s greasy and the loudest. Motorbreath is funky in her own but just more on the earthy diesel side which I still love. Hoping for a little more swelling and fade

Itโ€™s more so like 14 days into flowering but No biggie. She is stunning along recovering for Magnesium scares. Little to note other than stems hardening. The more the merrier and we shall be full of Cured Buds before the Holidays! The Original seed etiquette is still intact! - GHL -
