6/30 I messed up and put 8 days last week so I'll have tp do a six day week to get back on schedule. Pounded rain last night I guess. Very intense but very brief. As you can see in the video the plants are found great. A few have revegged so I'll need to defoliate the middle. I could make a TON of clones but it's pretty late for that. I might clone a couple outstanding plants to keep the genetics. Still seeing some pillar damage. Might do bt tonight. I'll keep this updated. 7/1 Super hot yesterday. Reached 90°. We are getting SOME rain today and thunder showers day after tomorrow. Bags still had some heft and everything looked good. I went back aroundcand found about half were at the point of needing water. He'll, they probably all did. My watering can is 2 gallons not 1.5 as advertised. So that means I used 5 gallons on the garden (not watering the 50) focusing the more water on the lightest bags. That tenth planet I'm seeing more septoria like leaves. This makes enough for me to be fairly positive ill need to treat it. I have plant doctor but I think copper works better. I also see more pillar damage so I've gotta apply something. I also need to lst more and I keep to clean put the interior of the plants so they don't get pm. EDIT: IT WAS 80° and no rain at 6:30. Humidity close to 100% bit plants look AMAZING! I'm hoping this may be my best year yet! I won't grow a bigger plant than tjat blue cheese in the 50 but so far everything is looking good. I may add some nutes to the pink kush in the 50 due to tje slightly less green color. I assume it's just because the other soil is all New amd this was a mix. I defoliated lightly to prevent pm but I have more to do. I just wanted to get a video of the girls looking good. 7/2 82° at 9am. Glad I decided to water even thoughvi watered yesterday. I need to up my volume. Thirty degree temp swings don't help much either. I said I used 4 gals but I used 5. I had one phed already. I'm hoping this will be one of my best years. IT looks like it! I won't have that MONSTER blue cheese in the 50. It was the smallest plant anyway and shows the difference between using NEW soil and mixing old soil WITH new soil. It's a much lighter green. Still need to apply bt and do a little more defoliation. EDIT: IT'S 90° WITH LIKE 100% RH. PLANTS LOOK A LITTLE HEAT STRESSED BUT OTHERWISE PRETTY DAMN GOOD. EVEN MY FATHER MENTIONED (KNOCK ON WOOD) "THAT I DONT HAVE ANY SHOT ON THEM THIS YEAR." LOL. I UPLOADED A VIDEO TO SHARE. HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HAVING AS MUCH FUN AS I AM! 7/3 83° at 9:40a.m. I need to increase my watering volume so I don't need to water every day. I used 5 gallons to water everything but the 50. I think I'm underwatering. However it was supposed to be severe thunder storms with torrential rain, high winds and hail. I'll gratefully take this hot sunny day instead. However in the future I think I'm not goingvto add in the predicted rainfall in my schedule. Unless it's a torrential down pour obviously. Everything g is still looking good and I've still got some work to do. EDIT: ITS 5PM AND NO "GOLF BALL SIZED HAIL. WE GOT A BRIEF RATHER INTENSE SHOWER. AT LEAST THE GIRLS GOT SOME WATER. IM GERY GRATEFUL THAT WE DIDNT GET THE STORM AND HAIL THAT WAS EXPECTED. 7/4 Didn't even get a chance to inspect the plants this morning as the wife had a medical emergency. My father called me (as I was about 5 mins away in route) telling me my plants were drooping and one was "really bad." I figured that since i had watered consistently the past few days and it was only 70 not 90 that they would be OK until noon. Boy was I wrong. I've upped my watering volume. I watered EVERYTHING with at least a gallon. I may have only given the tens 3/4s. Everything was back up by the time I left but the one on the end. I had forgotten flat I hadn't watered that one and needed to mix another gallon to water that plant. Thats why that plant looks worse on the video. I think my watering is going to need to increase to more than a gallon but it's a good start. I'll keep this updated. 7/5 Had to leave early again but I'll be back before noon. The wind is still whipping! I DID go around the cage and lifted every pot to make sure they were heavy. Even with the heavy wind the bags still were heavy. I really need to get some shit done this weekend. Last day of this week. Still haven't applied bt or done the pruning that needs to be done. I'll update as I go. EDIT: MY INTUITION WENT OFF AND I DODNT WATER TODAY SINCE I HAD JUST INCREASED VOLUME. THESE ARE MONSTERS THOUGH. I WENT OVER AT LIKE 1PM AND FIVE WERE DOWN. SOME SEEMED FINE. THE WIND IS REALLY STRONG THOUGH. CAUGHT ME TOTALLY BY SURPRISE. IM NOT EVEN TOTALLY SURE HOW MUCH I WATERED I WAS GOING SO FAST. IT WAS EITHER 17 OR 20 GALLONS. I KNOW THAT TJE PROBLEM PLANTS ALL GOT TWO GALLONS AS WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHERS. EVERUTHING IS BACK UP AND LOOKING GOOD THOUGH! IM REALLY CONSIDERING LIGHT DEPPING THE 10S. I DONT WANT A REPEAT OF THAT PLANT WITH ALL CALYXES LAST YEAR.

Tea once a week;))))

Well, she keeps disappointing me a bit. If you see her development compared to the two other strains, she is miles behind. Not stretching that much, and flowering stays behind. Im checking for male signs every day as I suspect she might go on me. All conditions are the same. This is a 9 euro seed. 4 of them didn't germinate. 50 bucks down the shitter. The plant right next to her comes from a one dollar seed, xtrakush at weedseeds.site. That's why I plead for the growers to share their lucky shots and give the small-time breeders a break. Also a plea for an expiry date on the products, for the price vs cost of production, we can expect that service. that way renowned breeders also protect their name when third parties sell old seeds to growers that leave bad reviews. Maybe she surprises me yet, but we are long way from the silverback we wanted. Thanks for checking in, see you next week!! Bud

Week 4! - Still on track! So far so good. I repotted both plants into their final pots and filled them up with canna coco. Since the weather has been warm and sunny they have grown exponentially and have no signs of slowing down. Watering has been more frequent this week as it's been warmer but I have the feeling that I will need to water slightly less now that they have been repotted in the Canna Coco - this soil seems to hold the moisture alot more. I inserted some small bamboo sticks for support which seem to be doing the trick nicely, no problems. Any tips or advice going forward would be appreciated. Still pretty hands off and no feed/nutrients have been added - just good ol water.

I'm back with another update. I could'nt hard bend them alot because the stems got thicker, if i would had done that, branches would had snapped. On the other hand the shamans had their stretch(already 2 weeks into flowering) and will not go any bigger, maybe a bit but not that much. (As a reminder, i bend them alot because i don't want them to get higher then my balcony fench) So I only have to bend the critical kushes a little bit for a few weeks until they had their 2 weeks into flowering stretch. Hopefully i will get a nice cantopy again. I gave them a little bit more nutrients(ec 2) because when i checked my run-off, it was still on a lower level, saw some difiencies and yellow leafs. Indicating that they can have more nutrients. Update: Compare this week with last week and see the difference. By just giving them the propher love they need, they will get better! Next update will be the end of this week like always and i can tell you they are starting to look better. Also i have to keep remind myself that this is just a outside fun grow haha and not anything to serious because when i gave them only water today I checked the run-off and all plants had different levels of ph and ec, which for me is normal because i'm used to alot of plant at the same time and never cared about it(cost alot of energy and time), but with just having 4 plants, it is tempting to do something about it like making seperate feed buckets for every plant haha.

I finally started flowering the crescendo rbx1 and I’ve got to say, she looks great! Green stems and leaves. She fills out this 5x5 pretty well and I’m happy with it. Plucked a couple leaves that blocked prime bud sites and weaved her long arms outwards to fill up my tent and get more light penetration.

We noticed this week that she's growing much faster and the side branches too. See the difference between the pictures April 18th - Topping view and April 20th- Topping view, and how much the side branches had grown. Other than that, it was a week without major events :) Sorry again for the pictures under the grow light.

15th day of blooming. the clone of the clone. Let's go for another round of 24k gold.

So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

Ladies and gentlemen today's day 80 and this girl, it's starting to really look beautiful... I gave her water that was 42 degrees fahrenheitat just as I have my other runtz and she's starting to really show sim color.. this has been a breeze from beginning to now and uh, I definitely recommend it . I mean look at her...beautiful.. Thank you Kannabia for the opportunity I really appreciate it.This looks like it's going to be a good one.And I really, really, look forward to it.. No more feedings from here on out. Just ice cold water, maybe one maybe two more times give her the old 48 hrs of dark and call it a day. I hope everybody's doing well.God bless you all and happy growing ✌️

End of week 3 Flower. She is spectacular!!! Buds are starting to ripen and the sweet grape aroma is heavenly.

It’s now time to start flower. They are looking amazing and I’m going to go ahead and throw his crocs in there. I have one tent that I have not put in flower yet just for the main fact that one of my seats became a auto flower so I’m letting them run more time to let that auto flower finish and see what that becomes

Trying to dial their veg in. Nutes may be too old or too high. Changed with 4ml CaMg per gallon of RO water. The rest is MaxiGrow. Ever since adding rockwool to the grow, I have struggled. I don't have the dry back timed right yet. I moved my fan to dry the top of the pot surface instead of in the root zone or at the canopy height. After about 10 days I dumped out the rockwool and have replaced with hydroton. My initial though on using rockwool was to give the roots more space during late life stages. My experience has been with hydroton and I notice that the roots eventually get bound because the hydroton is a durable material and will not crush or compact. Rockwool on the other hand will compress when squeezed so I was hoping that in the late life stages the roots would compress the rockwool and make more room in the pots. The issue was dryback. If I used chunks instead of croutons, this may help but the other reason I used them was because I had them here already. If anyone is trying to slow their dryback down, they should consider adding 10% volume of croutons to hold moisture in the medium a bit longer. Notice anything different? They are starting to adapt to their new media. Hopefully by next week I can get them to perk up. One plant has looked better than the other three. I have no idea what these plants need to “perk up”. Possibly a different grower. If a grape terpine wasn’t in the end results I would have culled these long ago. Hopefully they perk up when we get to flower. 3 look ,,,, meh, the fourth is descent. Trimmed all four back down to 12” tall. Flower next week.

July 27: still growing fast. The new growth is a bit yellow and I haven’t decided what that’s due to. Lack of sulphate or excess Phosphorus are the two options I think. Anyway, she’s doing fine and is startling to preflower. 👍 Started using a 730 nm far red light for a few seconds at dusk. This is called phyto-forcing apparently because it promotes flowering. I really love science when it figures out random shit like how photosynthesis and light wavelength (or colour) interact. Outdoor plants naturally see a flash of far red light just before darkness and this light kind of ‘puts it to sleep’ or into dark mode two hours faster. So, two extra hours darkness or a 26 hour day. Sounds bogus but is totally legit. July 28: foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. July 30: plant is looking great. The yellow on the new growth has faded and is now a better looking shade of green. I think it might have been excess P because the other plants kind of had it too and the timing was a couple days after adding barley and Power Bloom. This is right at the start of flowering when plants need lot of P, and the yellow is fading, so I’ll just let it go without doing anything about it. She’ll get over it.

Little Soaptini is hanging in there. It's definitely not the biggest plant in the bunch, but there's something so cute about it. The leaves have this adorable little curve to them, almost like tiny martini glasses. I'm excited to see how this underdog develops. Last week was awesome! I finally got around to giving all my plants a little upgrade – I repotted them into some bigger homes. They're all looking so happy and healthy now, it's crazy. I can't wait to see how much they grow this year!

Nineth week of flowering started. I've changed the water into the pots. I will continue with the same nutrients ratio (more bloom and micro, less grow). The fan is turned three hours on, one off. Inkbird parameters are unchanged (20° -3° H +2°C). Plants are healthy, bushy and tall. Light power @ 100%. Extractor @ 100%. D56: changed the water into the pots. Added 15 ml grow, 30ml micro and 40ml bloom. pH@6 EC 1.2

I've been pulling fan leaves this week . 1. To slow the top down . 2. To encourage side branch growth. 3. So they can remain in very small pots in a small space until I have space to let them grow properly.

Every week looking good to me 😄
