Week 8! I defoliated this plant finally. It took quite a while to even go into flowering (wasn't until the 7th week), so I'm hoping I didn't defoliate too soon. Ton of little bud sites now visible. I'm so curious how it's going to mature. Mix of thunderstorms and bright sun here. It's probably getting less light than it should because I'm keeping it under the roof a lot of the day.

Everything is looking done. Been checking when lights turn on and just before you go out and the trenchomes are looking full and starting to turn amber. So first thing tomorrow there all going to get chopped down. Well that's all for this week Happy growing everyone.

D13 - BOOM! The new #1 had made her modest appearance. Only the top of the seed is visible so far, but it's a start. :) #2 is moving along nicely, quietly doing her thing. D14 - #1 is still shy and hasn't fully emerged yet, but she is at least poking up more than yesterday, so there's progress at least. #2 is doing great, and I like her structure. Short and stout with large leaves and very short internodal spacing. She is 7 cm tall but already 11 cm wide. I also cut back the cover crop as it was getting a bit wild and partly overshadowed the girls. Since starting the grow, I have yet to water the girls properly, but they did get a little bit a couple of days ago when I had some extra after watering nematodes (against fungus gnats) to our regular houseplants. Better to be proactive than reactive ;) D15 - I started a simple compost tea consisting of worm casting, rock dust, algal limestone, bentonite, biochar, and molasses. I'll leave it brewing overnight, and then it's watering/feeding time tomorrow. D17 - No idea what is going on with the first girl, but it sure isn't much. The seed has maybe emerged for another two millimeters from the soil, but that is it. The seed hasn't cracked, and no leaves are visible. Hell, I can hardly see the stem. Yesterday, I gave each girl about one liter of the compost tea that I started a couple of days ago. Let's see if that helps, although, at this point, I kind of doubt it. As always, I completely forgot to check the pH of the tea. I have no idea why I keep forgetting that with my teas when I have no problem checking the pH when I use plain water. Oh well. Not the end of the world but something I need to keep in mind for the next tea in a couple of weeks. The second girl looks great, though, so that's something at least. D20 - Alright, it is official. The third girl died as well. The seed never cracked, and the stem went limp. I have no idea why this happened, and now I'm out of Colorado Cookies seeds, so that's that. I have already planted another seed to see if the problem persists with another strain. I will make a separate diary for that one, though. On the positive side is that the remaining girl looks strong and healthy. She is now 9 cm tall and 18 cm wide on this last day in week two of veg. Upwards and onwards!

Sep 20: Lemon Cream Kush smells great and the buds are looking really nice. Nice big and hard buds covered in white trichomes. Life is good. Did a second flush as the buds need another week and I like how the first flush went. Otherwise just pHed water.

Hi, nice to have you here😊✌️ The FatMonkeyAuto is doing well 👍 Unfortunately, it has grown really tall. Which unfortunately leads to slight chlorosis on the upper leaves! Hope she can handle it without drying out at the top 🙈 We'll see 😅✌️ Thanks for your time 😊👍💚

They smell great. Not a hard grow, but not stabilized genetics. 4 different phenos all with differing flowering times. Make it tough when you use your grow tent as a dry tent to contain smell. Had to buy another tent just to dry the ones that were finished instead of risking them herming. 5.8 oz dried and trimmed bud. Didn't weigh larf/trimmings but will be dry sifting it for the press.

Welcome growfessors to the harvest of Mandarin dreams! These 5 ladies got chopped down this week, the three pheno 1 strains have nice dense buds, very sticky! One pheno 2 is very fluffy, airy buds and the other pheno 2, is someplace in between, not rock hard, but close to it. Last time I'll be growing this strain, she was easy to grow, but not a smoke I enjoy, the indica hits harder as the buds cure and I'm not that interested in couch lock. Will update in 7-10 days with dry weight.

Es läuft alles gerade wie ich es mir vorstelle. Einziges Problem sind zu viele Triebe aufgrund des Toppings insbesondere bei der London Marker, dadurch wird es natürlich eng. Ich habe deshalb auch während der Blüte schon beschnitten . Ich versuche mich jetzt nochmal mindestens 7 Tage zusammenzureißen und einfach wachsen zu lassen, bevor radikal entlaubt wird.

Greetings and salutations GD peeps. Let the peaceful transition of flower begin! It is the first week of flower and the scrog is filling out nicely. I had some issues with a GFI popping and my lights would miss a few hours in the 18/6 light shedule over the last week. Rather than stress them any more than they already have been with the mini blackouts I flipped them to flower this week. I also changed the circuit the Tent was on and it seems to be consistent. A massive feeding this week for early flower, I bumped the bloom by 2 ml/gal on top of the normal feeding chart. My rational is I have topped these ladies and there are far more bud sites than before, will see if it has any effect + or - I have also done some selective defoliation to promote light pentation to the lower bud sites that have branched out from the topping 2 weeks ago. I have a small number of LEDs on one of my lights that have stopped working. The light an older amazon Chinese cheap O has 85% of the lights working. My footprint of the tent to the w/sqft is with in range. I have read and heard 35-50 watts per square foot of area as a general rule is good. now you can get in to PAR and lumens etc. but that's a whole different conversation. The light might be why the GFI was popping? I will figure that out after the grow. for now its all about FLOWER POWER and the scrog fulfilling its destiny. peace ya'll be kind to your fellow humans and hybrids.

Alright, the time is here, I’ve started the harvest but I don’t want to press the harvest button until I have all my info correct, but I’ll show some photos from my baby, we started a slow 6.0 flush about 2 weeks ago and finishing flush about 4 days ago. She was already fading but I had some problems since I fed her without thinking after having some drinks witch is obviously a very rookie move. But as I’m still learning it’s just another oof under the bridge, she was fading and I got some nice looking tricombs and I’m happy with the smell and size for her life cycle, I’m aiming for a slow dry and cure but my space is limited in my appointment and grow room so I have a drying tent set up but conditions could be hard to handle since the season change. Cheers. (And yes I didn’t wanna flush my auto but I figured it was the safest route.)

This week in the 5x5 had some good changes! Put on some good nodes and put on some resin!!! They all 3 pretty much look the same they have good node spacing and the stems are way sticky to the touch. Monday starting off week 5 gave them a top dress of craft blend 1/4 cup mixed into the top lil bit of soil and straw bed. Handwatering each plant gets 1/4 gallon at plant base and 1 gallon spread between plants. Everything going food look happy. Wendsday plants looks like they liked the Monday treatment so proceeding as normal. Gave them 1 top. per gallon of water along with 2 top of mollases to make the soil happy and some glacier rock dust a good plop. Friday everyone looked good maybe lil strong on nutes will only water as normal for the week. Sunday end of week 5 just straight water 1 plant got lil burned like I was thinking but everyone is happy happy happy. Vivosun fan I had for 4 months died had to replace with back up fan. Enjoy the pics

6.0 g MegaCrop / 4 L VPD is set at 23 C and 58 % rh Light is at 22 inches and lowering a inch daily Thursday, April 9 Flower Day 4 Im seeing a little bit of hungriness out of Black Sugar 2 and one of its clones. Its either that or beginning of tip burn. I dont think its tip burn though. 6.0 g MegaCrop / 4 L VPD is set at 23 C and 58 % rh Light is at 22 inches and lowering Sunday, April 12 Flower Day 7 To pinch new shoots in flower, or not? That is my question. I have been pinching them off on the clones and leaving them on the Mommas and Blue Gelatos. Whats your thoughts?

Haven’t updated recently due to work/getting my forklift license, long story short I passed and now onto the plants. The gelato are looking very well so far, switched the lights to 12/12 half way through week 4 so should be another week of stretch and then we will have the flower production (my favourite part) I’ve seen some weird marks on some leaves, not sure what they are or if their a problem but they don’t seem to be spreading etc so idk what it is but they seem healthy imo.

Entering Week 5 of Flower. Plants are doing great, really starting to fill out. The strongest of the 3 is thickening up, and the middle one is really starting to stretch. The runt even has good buds forming. I do think that I am starting to see signs of Nitrogen Toxicity in the fast grower, darker leaves and a tendency to curl downwards, so I will be watering with no Nutes this week. Looking like my first harvest will be a good one. Fingers Crossed. 10/14/24- Pruned a few leaves that were getting big and blocking bud sites. Starting to smell amazing, sharp lemon and berry notes. Thickening up every day. 10/15/24 - Nothing new to report. Watered again tonight without nutes. 10/16/24 - Officially 30 days of Flower! I can finally envision the nugs. Shaping up to be a good first run. 10/18/24 - Coming into the end of the week strong. Still fattening up. Glad I decided to flush these girls with plain water, because the first signs of tip burn are showing, so I definitely overfed. Beginner mistake I guess. Hopefully I caught it early enough that I can reverse it or keep it at bay until harvest. Tonight I did a little pruning on the fast grower. I cleaned up a ton of lower larf sites that were just taking up energy and space in the interior of the plant, so I carefully pruned what I was comfortable removing, making sure not to touch or disturb the pistols and sugar leaves. It has drastically increased the airflow and light saturation, and hopefully wont come at too much of a cost in the form of recovery. She always recovered super fast from training, so I'm not worried.
