Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. Just plain forgot to report last week. Things are looking good in here this year. I've seen some light thrips damage in here, but no spider mites yet. 🤞 They can blow in through the roof vents and cause problems some years. Going to flush starting next week. Will try to get 4 good flushes in before the harvest at around 10 weeks. I've got 5 plants of Mac and Crack to go in their places in a month's time to flower under natural light. Smells great in here. Tropical Skunk with some citrus and mango hints. Yum. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

The first part of this week has been great. It's cool but dry. There's was no dew on day 2. It's sunny with low humidity during the day. The plants are feeding on the built up nutes in the soil. I did not feed the listed formula although that is what I use prior to the flush week and thought I'd include it. We missed two projected rains and received one very light rain in the early a.m. hours of day 6 of this week. This was a great week for the girls. The rain didn't materialize like the forecast. We still had p.m. hours humidity in the 90s and cool nights, but these girls handled it. Only one has shown susceptibility to powdery mildew. Overall this is a beast outdoor strain for the Midwest USA. We have had a lot of leaf eating caterpillars attacking the plants because the trees are losing their green leaves. Just some natural defoliation no biggie.

AUGUST 24 to AUGUST 30, 2024 Sunrise 07:05, sunset 20:50 for total daylight of 13:45 hours. Specimen continues to push upwards, gaining approximately 13cm in height over the past week. Plant is taller than anticipated and planned for, which could present some difficulties as it's getting into the oscillating air circulation fan's wake. Was surprised to see the continued stretch, but there were two days of high heat that may have been the trigger, or, it may have been the result of defoliation and pruning, or it was simply the plant's final push, or a combination of all those factors. It appears to have crowned, or is close to being fully crowned, and as such I undertook a fairly heavy defoliation to improve airflow through the bottom of the plant, and strategically removed leaves in the upper canopy to improve light exposure. Fungus gnats did regain their hold, and so I decided to top dress with Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis (delivered via pulverized Mosquito Dunks) in an effort to kill larvae, treated with Soil Pest Defense (Neem Oil, Castile Soap and Yucca Extract) and replaced Bug Scan Yellow Sticky Traps at soil level. Effects were pretty immediate, but I will need to stay on top of this. Would like to cease use of Neem Oil in the soil, so considering acquiring some beneficial nematodes to combat the pest issue. Overall, specimen and its' "neighbours" in the greenhouse are doing well, and filling the room. When accounting for the bench and containers, tops of plants are over 152cm (5ft) from ground level. It is making management a little more challenging, and proving to be more difficult to find good angles to photograph (the space is pretty much filled up). The scent of citrus, skunk and spice emanating from the greenhouse is building, and at times quite strong. Still appears to me to be on-track for ripening the week of October 14, 2024. Day 120 - n/a Day 121 - Drip watered 5.0L of plain rainwater with pH of 6.7 Day 122 - n/a Day 123 - Defoliated specimens, focused on removing leaves from lower parts of the plant to improve airflow (lollipop), pruning hidden or non-producing branches, and strategically removing select upper fan leaves to improve light exposure and airflow. Day 124 - Top dressed with pulverized Mosquito Dunk (1/4 unit per specimen); 1.5L drip watered with plain rainwater in the morning; Hand watered 2.0L of Soil Pest Defense Drench in the afternoon; Hand watered 1.0L of plain rainwater about 30 minutes after soil drench; Replaced Bug Scan Yellow Sticky Traps (1 unit per specimen, cut in half and rested at soil surface on two sides; With defoliation from yesterday, room air flow seems adequate, after increasing speed of lower fans. Day 125 - n/a Day 126 - n/a Next week, planning to feed the rhizosphere with Compost Tea and continue efforts to control fungus gnat population.

Wow

AvT oh my she just stinks and I'm not sure is a pleasant smell. She is 22 inches tall and just as wide, filling her space nicely. Defoleated her. She is bottom heavy, branches are low and wide. Hung second light so things should be happening. Increased newts to 680 ppm. All things considered this plant is doing great, and really has a strong smell.

3 weeks had passed so she had a nice haircut and now is ready to start pumpimg those flowers smells quite strong allready looks happy and healthy so far letals goooooo

Have been leaving the seedling alone... I set up a baby monitor in the grow tent so I can look at the temperature and humidity from my phone app without opening the tent all the time

Another smooth week form how it looks should really remember to do this week to week but busy

Día 8 (20/01) Subo a DLI 20 Elimino la cúpula de humedad y oriento el ventilador para que les llegue una ligera brisa que fortalezca el tallo Hago un riego de unos 30 ml en la maceta de 1 Litro Día 9 (21/01) Se ve saludable y se empiezan a formar las primeras hojas reales! Día 10 (22/01) Desarrollo esperado para el día 10 Día 11 (23/01) Sigue desarrollándose bien. Las raíces se asoman la parte inferior de la maceta Riego con 100 ml H2O RO Día 12 (24/01) Buen aspecto y desarrollo Día 13 (25/01) Riego con 50 ml H2O RO Día 14 (26/01) Hoy procedemos a trasplantar a las chicas a su maceta definitiva de 6 litros con la siguiente mezcla: Substrato PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE BIOTABS estrategia de cultivo de "Solo agregar agua", donde todos los nutrientes están premezclados en la tierra: SILICIUM FLASH 5 g/L de sustrato STARTREX 5 g/L de sustrato DOLOMITA 2 g/L de sustrato (ya que riego con H2O RO) MYCOTREX 5 g en el agujero del trasplante BIOTABS: 1 unidad a 10 cm de profundidad Se llena la maceta con las manos (limpias) y rompiendo los trozos de sustrato más gruesos, para que el sustrato esté aireado y esponjoso, sin presionar Se coloca una maceta vacía para que quede la forma perfecta de la maceta donde están las plántulas Se llena hasta arriba, y se hace un 1er riego muy lentamente con 0,75 Litros de H20 Osmosis RO Después de que el sustrato haya compactado y bajado de nivel (algo normal), se vuelve a rellenar con la mezcla de sustrato + nutrientes de BIOTABS hasta el borde Se saca la plántula de su maceta actual (bonitas raíces 😍) y se coloca en la maceta final Se vuelve a regar 0,5 L H2O Osmosis (RO) y se coloca en el armario ajustando la luz a DLI 25 El riego total es de 1,25 Litros H2O Osmosis (RO) A ver como reacciona al trasplante!

LaFanta seemed stucked comparison to early skunk plants, that evolved well this week. Some leaves presenting very light spots, looking as they recieving foliar feed/ipm however last foliar application was on Sept. 30th.

WEEK 8 Finally calibrated my ph meter and get everything sorted. Ph is now 5.5 but it should slowly building up to 6.0 I lightened the feeding because of some signs of overfeeding but nothing too dramatic. Very strong citrusy smell. One of the plants is incredibly frosty for it's age and all buds look pretty dense so I can't wait what is gonna happen over next few weeks. Giving them pretty much max recommended dose of CANNA BOOST so I hope it's gonna give me some good results in terms of taste and smell. :) Oh and I finally got new 600W bulb

Week 9 their wasn’t any real changes. Everything is on par with week 8. Girl #1 looks like she’s starting to gain some more weight. I’m satisfied with her progression so far. Girl #2 still hasn’t shown any flowering. I will keep It short this week. Nothing really to report. I’m excited for the next coming weeks. Thank you for viewing my diary.

Lights 16 inches away at 50% dimming humidity low (30-50%) will be adding humidifier next week. Seed successfully sprouted out at day 4. Temperature has been maintained between 70-75 degrees.

Day 29 - Everything’s looking good! The Sour Stompers look so different because of training and genetics (runt). Day 30 - Looking better than last time! Day 31 - Watered 1.5L each at 6.5pH Day 32 - 4AM1 has the most developed buds so far but Sour Stomper 1 is already putting on some light frost! Day 35 - Fed

Just wanna smoke! Smells amazing, now is getting real started, buds are juice and shines like a star 😍 I think my buds is a little thigth and close to each other, I tried to use some rubber band but ended up trimming some leaf. I'm not sure about fan leaf and they you need, but if they are covering building buds I take them. Have some more weeks before havrest, when I have 2 weeks left I'm going to use terra aquatica Final Part 🙏 Happy grow bro

Day 106 16/08/24 Friday Big feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Finally flipped her!! Excuse my mess of a Scrog it's first time. I'm cutting away squares to allow the new growth this week to pass through, the net will only be used them as support to allow her to fully express her flowers 💚 Day 107 17/08/24 Saturday Another watering today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Picture and video update ✌️ 💚 Day 109 19/08/24 MONDAY Another feed today, she is recovering well from the move, Scrog, LST. This week I'll be keeping her within the net as she stretches. Picture update Day 111 21/08/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water today pH 6. Again 5L little run off. She's stretching 😁 time to fill the floor.
