This week I Realised I'd used the wrong feed chart so I was over feeding 🙄 the leaves burnt on a few plants so I've only fed them water this week and will resume feeding from next week. There are still no pre sex pistils showing but it can't be far off now. As soon as pistils start to show I'll start feeding bloom feed. I've turned the light up to 30000lux using HLG's online calculator for converting a lux meter/app reading to PAR , my light is 3000k which with lm301H Led's works out @ 465ppfd which is about the max the plants can use in veg without supliments co2. Here's the link for anyone using quantum boards, it has different spectrum calculators. It's been really useful setting my light up so big thank you to HLG (even though I have a Geeklight) and a thank you to the GML show on YouTube for bringing it to growers attention (I love that weekly show, so much info and perspective) https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/blogs/calculators/converting-lux-to-ppfd Hope everyone's staying safe and growing 😎

Pretty much on autopilot right now. I've just been filling the water reservoir when needed. Last night I did a top watering to try to help push them through the last couple days. It shouldn't be much longer now. Pretty much all cloudy trichomes with hints of amber. Once I see a little more amber I'll chop. The topped girl will probably be harvested first, I think she's a little ahead of number 2.

Day 14 - 3 out of 5 are growing a little slow/weird, all 5 seem to be growing kinda slow compared to my first run of autos but hopefully everything does good🤞🏼 Happy growing friends🌱✌️🏼 Day 17 - Still have 2 extremely weird looking ones, really hoping they bounce back🙏🏼🤞🏼 Day 18 - 3 out of 5 still going strong, the other 2 havnt changed much!

First flowering post - they arnt fully flowering yet tho I musta emit. I dunno why they all seem to be slow to sex but now there are a few pistols showing in the main growth mode so I’m v happy. The cheese plants are doing great. When I was LST’ing I must admit in order to make the canopy much more even I decided to try ‘supercropping??’ I pinched the stem enough for it to go soft and bend so I could get the highest growth node to the same height as all the others. It looked aweful after I did it but now after 24h it looks a lot better - really healthy even! I must admit I gave them a heavy dose of microbes and molasses just after bending and tying. Im sure that had a lot to do with the fast recovery. Full steam ahead to see some bloody pistols!!!!! Im working on which strains I want to grow next at the mo as well. Trying to get sweet seeds to send me some Tropicanna poison but not sure if they send test seeds to the UK. Probably not - we’ll see. Iv been wanting to grow that plant for aaaages. I’m also looking for a really decent gas strain. I been recommended NYCD. Havnt narrowed down a breeder yet tho. UPDATE - Saturday Thought I’d do a quick update just to say I added a few photos and a video from my security camera in there. It’s quite useful just to see how much they are stretching in a week. Not that I need to know it’s just cool. Also when I go away (as I do most weekends for about 2-3 days - sometimes more) I can just tune into the cam to make sure my physical security hasn’t been breached by any gangs lol. Well not any gangs just one - and they happen to be backed by the government. Lol I worry that when I’m away they will raid and leave me an arrest warrant after having stolen all my plants and meds. It’s a fairly dramatic fear but it’s not without its reasonings. I have been raided by the police number it’s times so it’s not a totally irrational fear - the difference is that I’m sober now (other than cannabis medicine of course) and so I’m not drawing attention to myself and bringing unwanted eyes on me and secondly (and maybe more important) I don’t actually sell drugs or weed or anything anymore so yeh. It’s a rational irrational fear lol I do believe the police have bigger fish to fry HOWEVER here in the UK it is still VERY illegal to grow so i have absolutely no doubt that given any chance they would happily relieve me of everything iv built up in the past 4 years (whilst being on probation I will add lol). The proof is in the pudding though. Every since I quit using heroin and benzodiazepines in favour of cannabis things have just been getting better and better and iv been able to function better and better also. I must admit I was worried for a while that cannabis took away my creativity when I used lots of it but I am learning that it was actually just the fact that my life was in a place I didn’t like and I was dealing with serious childhood trauma. When I was using heroin and benzos it allowed me to cover it in order to live my daily life (obviously, otherwise I wouldn’t have been willing to put up with the MANY negatives - there had to be something it was doing for me), however, when I took away the numbing opiates and benzos I had to start dealing with it and it was that trauma and having to deal with it which is why I wasn’t able to be creative. I’m an artist and so creativity is very important to me but for months, well years actually I just wasn’t able to paint or even play music really for that matter. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it, I think now because I was just preoccupied in my mind dealing with stuff. I won’t deny tho - that cannabis in excess DOES take away my motivation to get up off my ass and turn the TV or Netflix off though. I do have to watch out for that because If I’m not careful I can end up sitting there all day smoking when I should be out doing stuff and then I miss windows for my other crops where I can’t just turn the light source on and off whenever I feel like it - it’s quite hard to do that with the sun!! Anyway - I kind of use this space as a proper diary every now and again when I need to get something out. It’s not like anyone but me really reads these bits anyway so it doesn’t really matter!! Hell - even I don’t really read them tbh! UPDATE - I’m all jazzed up about growing again for sure. I somehow only just figured out really that you I can program different ‘scenes’ within my temp and humidity controllers. So anyway obviously the past month it’s been set to the veg/auto settings and I recently obviously had to switch it to the flower settings but I kind of forgot to lower the RH and adjust temp accordingly. So anyway that’s a long way of saying I did that lol. I’m definitely going to include another CBG seed in my new grow as I’m really interested in growing some hemp for medicinal use. Maybe as a tincture and or edibles, probably from rosin. It just seems to make sense rather than doing a nasty crude extraction using alcohol. The only trouble is I believe I sacrifice yield but then the flip side Is it would be less because there is less nasty shit. So I havnt narrowed down a specific breeder yet but iv been looking at a few. I was also looking at 1:1 CBD/CBG strains but they said they need more breeding before it brings the cbg ratios up in the majority of plants as it’s meant for people planting hundreds of seeds (from what I can gather). I received Fastbuds LSD-25, purple lemonade, chemdawg and I dunno something else but I’m kind of uninterested in growing them atm so they’ll stay in the vault. (which is growing pretty big now lol) To satisfy my purple craving I will be growing the sweet seeds Tropicanna poison as it looks banging and iv wanted to grow it since I sort of half grew the Dutch passion critical orange punch. So a long time. I will also be narrowing down two strains from the EU humboldt site. I intend to order tomorrow evening when I get paid as I’m always paranoid of them selling out. This is the only time iv really slowed down to choose what I want to grow. Also this is the first time iv chosen based on flavour first. I intend to cover sweet, sour, Chem and citrus with probably 4 THC dom strains and then the cbg variety also. I’m interested in starting to look at KNF but mainly from a vegetable plot perspective atm. I’m happy and comfortable using salt based nutrients now I’m not paying a lot for them and I’m not buying into the whole shipping a load of water philophosy - I do realise it can only get me so far tho. I do believe my allotment is a good place to start as I’m not reliant upon it. So if my practices don’t work it’s not as big of a deal to me. I rely on my cannabis crop - I can’t say the same about my veg yet.

She is smelling so strong and stacking nicely, the buds are dense and super shiny and covered in tricombs. So far there’s more cloudy than clear but no Amber yet will keep y’all updated :)

Well they have germinated now I know some look abit leggy but will pot up in solo cups probably next week. Only give water ATM not even ph

This is still from week 4. I wasn't satisfied with the pictures so I took more.

Just fed them this week. I think they look happy, so I'm 😊

Hello my friends, ...June 14, 2022..Day N°84.. ...Flowering day N°38... My 2 Feminized Runtz Gum, 2 Feminized zkittzy Gorilla and 2 Feminized Banana Sherbet are fine and they growing healthy. The flowers developing very good. I gave them water with some Hybrid and Booster powder from Green House Feeding and some Cal-Green from Metrop. My babys are under a Mars-Hydro SP 3000 at 70% of power and at 35 cm of the canopy. www.originalsensible.com www.mars-hydro.com That's all for now my friends, thx for passing through here. Wish you the best with your green projects. See you soon..💨💨💨

Hey now, so this week went very well, I started feeding her ripening nutes today....So I am going with silica, cal mag, maxi bloom, and then dry bloom, ph, then a little hydrogen peroxide. So far they are happy. Plan is to build a little manifold out of her if she cooperates. Thanks for stopping by, I hope your grows are Strong and fast! Be safe and Blaze On!!!

Partimos la primera semana vegetativa, aún fertilizando lo mínimo 👌🏻 Día 4

Finally My Gelato Bin Laden’s has started to flower. I haven’t defoliated this week and might need to clean up some leaves to open up the bud sites, i’ll do it later this week. The plant on the left has a lighter green colour to it, bot sure why, I’m not too concerned about her, she get’s the same feed and attention as the girl on the right. Let’s see how they start to change in the coming weeks.

I missed a week in diary.. Starting to show brown hairs now. Peace! 💚

Pics show 1.5 weeks from last post. Really wish I could flip her into flower but still can't. I think she is begging to be flipped. So many pre-flowers. Wonder if pre-flowers in Vegg can get pollinated? This thing might get too big before I can flip. Still growing so fast. Probably because I'm focusing all growth to the mainlined stems. Which are so tall now. Most all leaves are dark. Going to start backing off the nitrogen (FF Grow Big) Also seeing tip burn, as well as edge burn on the leaves. Definitely over feed. The soil is probably caked with salt by now. Stress techniques - - Still super cropping all nodes every other day. See image on how big some of these knots get. All stems are super thick and hefty. Which was a goal of mine. - Defoliation every other day. Taking leaves and new nodes off. Definitely think doing this almost every day is the worst stress its dealing with. - Branch squeezing/tie down. Still noticing heavy scaring or buildup where I have it tied down at the base. Will keep it there to keep seeing what happens. All stems/branches around it have hardened. Also noticing red/purple streaks in areas. Wouldn't say it's the healthiest plant but it sure is a sturdy fast growing one.

Humongous, rock hard nugs dusted in sugar and still barely any smell. The strange world of genetics.

Still watching trichomes. 90% crystal clear so far. But she's getting closer to the end.
