Day 106, 17th of November 2020: We need to say goodbye to her very soon. The judgement is harvest. Time has come and she is old enough to be cut. I have checked trichomes all good some days darkness and no more water also and she will be just outside on the table for some days. Really nice little plant not strong smell. I really wanna try the smoke the ratio 1:1 CBD:THC and only 7.5% CBD and 7.5% THC haha :)

Week 7 went well! Took a few more bottom leaves because it was getting quite crowded and they were making it harder to find spots around the rim to bind her to for LST, and they were getting mashed when I had to pick her up anyway. Lots of benign neglect this week... Haven't fed her very heavily or done much other than let her do her thing. Thinking another week or so in veg. Maybe 2. Have to try to time it so my schedule will be open when she finishes so I don't feel tempted to rush again.

Dia 54 de floración, las plantas ya tienen el lavado de raíces echa de hace unos dias, el siguiente riego las rege con agua a 900 ms y ahora ya hasta el corte 400ms para que todos los nutrientes que le quedan en las hojas se los coma !! En 3/4 dias ya se empezaran a cortar las plantas, todo el trabajo de estos meses ha dado unos frutos muy duros,pegajoso, y mucha olor a chicle afrutado muy fuerte, La planta mas alta a medido 108 cm y la mas pequeña 60 cm y hasta aqui este cultivo, semana que viene estara todo en el secadero y veremos las nuevas variedades que se vienen y ahora ya estamos preparando el proximo cultivo

Buds start to take form as stretch continues. Trellis up this week to help with support. Lights and feed go up! Good vibes all around. 🙏

Harvesting Week!

Had a busy week and have lost track of exactly what happened on which day. Early in the week I noticed slowing growth and so checked runoff EC which was drastically into the negative, indicating the plants were taking in more nutrients than I was providing them. I have been increasing inflow EC all week. This has caused MASSIVE growth. I continued to adjust the LST points as well as commencing some defoliation after first pestils showed. This is the only real sign of flowering on either of the two plants thus far which is great as it will see these plants continue to get larger and larger. At nearly full concentration of suggested nutrients, I am quite surprised the plants are taking in as much as they are. Noticed the Blue Diesel is growing 9 pronged fan leaves which is a sign of great health. I am really enjoying growing with coco coir. It is so easy to manage though it does involve daily work. There is very little guess work and so long as you are good with plants already, it seems like the coir offers "the best of both worlds" between soil and full hydro. I do intend on starting a soil grow in the next few weeks to compare. Stay tuned!

The biggest auto I’ve grown to date! Had to tie up a few branches to keep them from falling over, looks like I’ve got a couple more to tie up! This girl would have been perfect for a scrog if I had any idea she’d get this big. Pretty sure the curling of the leaves towards the top of the plant is either from my fan being too close or from heat (or maybe both). It’s been a hot summer! Doing my best to keep her healthy 💚💚

Nutrients listed are for the LSD-25’s. I figured since I had such a rough time, others might too. Watch pH on these ladies. Constantly. Keep nutes on the weak side. When I went 1/2 strength, they didn’t like it. Go really easy to start. Too much is easy with them. Got a little nute burn on the tips of the Gelato on Saturday afternoon. Switched out the solution.

I poured a whole bucket of 1000ppm trough the coco yesterday as long she goes under 800ppm runoff from her normal feeding. Shes massive under these bars, thats a spiderfarmer SE5000 (480watt)

Tell me what you think

Day 21 Shes looking a little better as her new growth is much better but shes still lacking some colour hopefully soon she will full take off. Turned the auto-pots + air-domes on to get water and oxygen directly to the roots 3 days ago. Feeding Cropsalt at 5.8ph, really enjoying it atm just look at their colour😍

Hopefully, this is the last week for the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe. Fan leaves are getting yellow and the pistils are getting brown and also keep checking the trichomes that are getting milky. Watering 125ml 2 times per plant, so altogether 700ml for 2 plants, and now the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe. is being flushed so no fertilization. Purple Punch will be fertilized with the same way before I did and now it is flowering. I removed some yellow leaves from the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe that was dried so the lower buds might be able to receive more light. Monday: Sunday is the scheduled harvest day for Gelato Cookie D'ohpe. I can't wait to happen. Petty much everything is okay. Last day of the 9th week so I trimmed the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe before harvest and also this is the last day when I gave her water so I added extra today 2x 250ml. Until Sunday no more water and Saturday no light also so 3 days no water before harvest and 1 day no light. I removed the oldest biggest fan leaves from the Purple Punch because those were getting yellow and the plant looks much better, let her focus on her buds. :) As I cut off the leaves the Purple Punch has like citrus smell in really like that. The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is stronger, very strong smell, for me stinky, but the flowers have fruity smell I really like it. So the end of the week Purple Punch is 40 cm, Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 70 cm.

Well my lovely ladies grew wonderfully it was my first grow with LED. Definitely a little learning curve still. I ended up with about 700 g out of eight plants not too bad for the size girl over my head. The smoke is amazing smooth with a henna citrus then knock you on your butt I did harvest plants at different time so I do have different outcomes some is a little more of the knock you down while others are a little more energetic. Great girl have lots to learn will continue to post in here love you guys.

10 week harvest in the end - diary skipped a good week. Lots of trimming, very sticky buds - finally broke my trusty trimming scissors, handle just fell apart. I'll miss them :(

Explosion of leaves from the 15th to the 17th day, then on the 18th day we start to see "normal" leaves, and on the 20-21st day we have hope that it will become a normal plant 😄

Bueno, van muuuy bien, quizás en alguna variedad me pasé con la tijera y por solo confiar en las cabezas, no voy a sacar mucha producción pero bueno, lo que salga se fuma, y lo que no, se cultiva de nuevo xD. Las plantas tiran un oloor... Me lo tiene todo apestado! Jajaja para bien! Aclaro que estas fotos son literalmente tras encenderse las luces despues de 6h de un producto de descarga total antifungico que usé en oscuridad. El producto es valido para floración, ademas que pienso que aún quedará un mes pal corte, tiempo de sobra + 2 semanas de secado + otras 2 semanas de curado (no nos engañemos, se fumará desde que esté seca xD pero la teoría es que no, que aguanto hasta que cure). El tiempo este que digo, lo menciono a modo, tiempo mas que de sobra de irse los restos. Debido al producto, que lo coloqué en el centro del armario, las ramas mas cercanas han sufrido de estres químico y han cerrado estomas, por eso estan mas marrones o caídas, incluso como si tuviesen estres hidrico. La semana que viene cuando suba las fotos, veremos los cambios :). PD: el olor de esta planta no estoy seguro de identificarlo pero es muuuuuuy muy acentuado! Una pena que los cogollos me vayan a quedar pequeños pero bueno, pinta a que va a saber muy muy sabrosa, tipo dulce de este de chucherias, cuando tu abres el cajón de chuches del chino? Pa cogerte lenguas y melones y jaleos? Pues a eso!
