OCTOBER 18th to OCTOBER 24TH Sunrise: 08:31 | Sunset: 18:50 | Total Daylight: 10:19 Weather over the past week saw several consecutive days of full cloud cover and rainy periods. Greenhouse has held temperatures during the day, and only dropped below 10C once (Day 168). Good periods of sun on Day 167 and 168, with the forecast looking sunny for the next few days. I suspect that will help along the ripening process as the plants process nutrients from the fan leaves during the fade. There hasn't really been any issues with humidity levels, as it has hovered in and around 40% to 45% RH Purple Romulan isn't as near to ripe as I'd like, with many trichome heads still clear, with only a few cloudy. Not a lot of time left as it is getting quite cold outdoors, and honestly there isn't a lot of sunlight now that we are down to 10 hours. DAY 162 2L of plain rainwater (cold) applied to each specimen. DAY 163 n/a DAY 164 15C in greenhouse in the morning; Cloudy and cool day overall, but greenhouse holding temperatures above 19C and plants are clearly going through senescence. DAY 165 Steady rain overnight, with armer temperatures; Greenhouse held overnight at 17.5C and 50% RH. Cool, cloudy and rainy day (high of 9C, 97% RH, but greenhouse and the associated equipment performing as designed and holding temperatures at 19.5C with humidity ranging from 40% to 45%. DAY 166 Cool and rainy overnight (6C intermittent light rain). Greenhouse held to 16.5C and 41% RH. Noticed some droop so provided 1L of plain rainwater (cold) via drip in the afternoon to each specimen and everyone perked up thereafter. Temperatures reached 19C for much of the day, with 43% humidity. Temperatures outdoors were a high of 7C, with 80% humidity (or more) during the day. Remained overcast for much of the day, but there was a couple of periods of increased brightness. Plants are doing well, all fading; Purple Romulan's long and abundant pistils have only began to wilt to a bright orange colour wholeheartedly over the last 7 days. Flowers are of decent size, have a typical hybrid shape with trichome production that looks to be average. Smells of pine but has a sweetness as an undertone. Trichome heads on calyxes remain mostly clear. When rubbing fingers over sugar leaves, this plant is notably greasy in comparison to any other specimens in the garden. DAY 167 Overnight low of 2C, greenhouse held at 12.5C and 41% RH. After a cloudy cool morning, the sun broke through and warmed up the greenhouse shortly after the noon hour. Exhaust fan even came on intermittently to reduce temps below 24C. Humidity was ideal all day, in and around 40%. After noting some droop, applied 1L of plain rainwater (cold) via drip. This may be the last watering of the season. I think it will be possible to decommission the irrigation system for the winter over the coming weekend. I can pull 20L of water for use either for this crop and/or the mother tent. DAY 168 Greenhouse 9.5C (-2C outside) in the morning with 40% RH. Sunny morning, with greenhouse warming to over 10C by 9:30AM; Exhaust fan kicked in to hold temperatures at 24C just before the noon hour.

D42 F6 One week of 12/12 and she's stretching out real nice. I'll start to feed them from week 7. I've defoliated the central cola to allow the sides to catch up.

Super Sativa Seed Club Purple Punch OG Auto Germination Week First time trying Super Sativa Seed Clubs genetics and personally am super excited to see how they'll turn out. Started 3 Purple Punch OG autos by using the shot glass method. Soaked in just tap water in a solo cup for 48hrs and then straight into the soil. 48hrs later and we have sprouts emerging. So far all seems well and with 100% germination rate it's hard to argue those results. Happy Growing

What a monster I'm happy to have stepped up to the big pot. I'm going bigger 😳🤓.... This girl is a little restricted but I gave her a good defoli and the smooth light is spread out as best as i can get.

Oh my goodness! I had a 12 hour harvest session and I am so burnt out x.x I might have a few weeks before I germinate again haha I had so dang much to harvest it was getting concerning. I had to use the trellis net in the tent. I have It nicely controlled using the exhaust fan and the humidifier to keep it between 0.7-0.9 kPa I also have two Ac units running to fight the summer heat and keep it as cold as possible! Those were the fattest and most prime buds. The B-grade heads were thrown in a paper bag amd into the fridge for an old school lotus inspired dry. And finally everything lower down that wasn't an apex bud and also the apex buds that were small were put into 8 Ziplock bags and thrown in the freezer. Fresh frozen bubble hash is in my future! I still need to aquire a rainbarrel spigot and two food grade buckets but I've got most everything else. The B grade buds will be either given away or made into more bubble hash because i am estimating about a pound of top-shelf flower and a pound for everything else. I've always disliked the hanging net drying racks but maybe I'll look into for the B-grade heads next time. This has been the longest cycle I have ever done and geez it's probably the biggest. I really hope it's the most enjoyable smoke! I'm locked in on the drying/curing process hoping to finally get something that can beat the dispenserary stuff. I am so excited! My next cycle plan is to do a rotating perpetual harvest every 3 weeks in the four 40 gallon containers using the last of my Strawberry gorilla and Gorilla Cookies from FastBuds. These plants and genetics far surpassed my expectations so far, I'll be back to update soon and I'll get a weight from each of the Top and Mid buds as well as the bubble hash yield. The bubble hash will be using Bubblebagdude 5 gallon zippered mesh bag, their 5 pack of 20-220 micron and some hand style agitation. It will be my first try! Thanks for reading, and please take care of yourself! No one can take care of you, like you can take care of yourself.

The not so little now really is growing well😊. Had to get it in another box to keep good temperature. I keep doing some defoliation Time to Time.

Been abit lst with posting and both with the plants as I say first time grow me and pal ain’t got a scooby ran into few problems with nutes this week and rust spots showing on leaves after reading online have been feeding nutes once a week on a saturaday and watering 2 days after with 6.2 water n calmag 1ml per litre (in hindsight was feeding the nutes it said on back of bottle and ended up burning couple the plants )

Following the plan, the girls are beautiful and were already quite big during this stretching phase. I hope everything continues as it is now during this growth and weight gain phase. For the rest, just wait for time to pass. 🌱🌿✌️✌️

The Flowers grow fast

In love with all of my 5 plants of black cherry punch but this one is one of the most beautiful ones, 100% purple flowers, very dense and awesome fruity sweet smell love it!

Flipped on August 9. The strain likes to grow and fill in inside. Did a pretty big defoliation and stripped down some of the lowers. Added a net to help with the stretch. I removed the fan and filter from the inside of the tent in between grows. placed it outside to make room because I know it’s going to be crowded. Also having intermittent fungus gnat issues. Treated with mosquito dunks solution. Will be feeding a seabird guano worm casting tea for the next feeding. Started silica supplement and fed seabird guano / worm casting tea this afternoon. 8/22. Also dropped the net down and spread out the canopy. Starting to stack up. Sugar to appear on leaves. Smell starting to come through. I love the strain but every time I grow it the smell makes me nauseous by the time I’m done. Super terpy sweet blueberry stank. By the time it comes out of the jars I’m ready for it again.

this girl has come on well since the change to 12/12 shes stretching out and grown into a decent Bush so decided to do some defoliation and lst shes responded well to it will be dropping silicon this week was going to drop it last week but didn't will be adding buddy next week thanks for reading happy growing guys

Will update soon

Week 5 Flower - Day 30 Flowering - Day 86 of life Apple bloosom is fast flowering plant, at least is what the breeder says on the flowering info for this strain(45 days), and I just realized that after checking the info. I did a flush on it last week thinking the plant was looking way thin and could have deficiencies as all pistils were already brown but in fact seems this genetic finishes way faster then the normal photoperiod plants. A part of that plant seems to be a bit better than before, so hoping for the best. I will be watching closely the trichomes to see when is gonna be ready for harvest. Let’s go

Right before harvest I took some more videos and photos of the ladies.

Luego de 2 dias de oscuridad se pasa a floracion, ciclo 12/12. La altura promedio oscila entre los 20 y 40cm, a excepcion del ejemplar mas retrazado que esta en unos 15cm, lo muevo al centro del cultivo para que se desarrolle con la luz optima. Se prosigue con riego dias Lunes, miercoles y sabados.

The plants have been flushing for almost a week now. Really starting to change colors. I can't wait to see how much I get from them.

this plant has a tendancy to throw out lime green leaves which throws you off a bit.. its quite a sensitive plant to ph im thinking. make sure you get the soil right. given the sheer density of buds it wants to grow on the colas i would suggest that its best to use a big light on this plant and if you are going to scrog properly space the budsites otherwise it just forms one big clump of buds in small plants.. hard to get light to everywhere.. genetics wise though damn! very quick vigorous growth, chunky looking white pistils, and looooooots of leaf production. thanks california and fastbuds
