Black Strap and Peach Crescendo getting close. I see they will get cut way before the Fat Bastard. Fat Bastard must have a long flowering period. But branch structure is thick. I will get a heavy yield from it. Peach Crescendo has so much frost on it. Ethos fkn rocks! Black Strap smells like baked cookies and gas.

19 May 2021 My Blue Ox baby is looking good! She is growing and her leaves are looking better. I defoliated the few old sickly leaves that were cut when she was cloned and she seems better for it. I fed her half a gallon of chilled 50 degree water with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The initial pH was 6.50 and didn’t require adjustment. The TDS meter was 768 ppm. She still had plenty of runoff, and the pH was 5.79, and TDS runoff was 2615 ppm. The tent temp was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 42%. I’m pleased with her progress so far, except her branches are still a little too short to start any LST. She’ll get there.... eventually. 21 May 2021 The Blue Ox is thriving! Her leaves look good, and her stalk is starting to fatten up and fortify itself for later growth. She and her tent mate are soon going to outgrow their current home. I’m still on the same feeding chart, so here’s what was given: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, FloraBloom 2.5ml. My pH monitor stopped working, so I used history as my guide. Detailed record keeping wins again! The solution has historically been right on 6.5, and doesn’t need adjustment. The TDS meter was 842 ppm. Runoff was what was expected, and the TDS there was 2588 ppm. I chilled the water to 53.3 degrees F. The tent temp was 78.5 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. I’m still only feeding half a gallon. 23 May 2021 My Blue Ox is starting to grow like an ox! She and her tent mate are going to out grow their home sooner than I can get them into a larger one. I want to go ahead and flip her, but I don’t think my veg tent can take 2 flowering plants. I’ll figure it out. I’m keeping the nutrients at the same stage till I think she needs more. My pH meter is officially dead, but luckily my records are doing me well. I fed a half gallon of chilled (51 degrees F) water with CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The TDS was 762 ppm going in, and runoff TDS was 2841 ppm. The tent temperature was 80.6 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. 25 May 2021 Today is the last day of the second week of this diary (6th week of growth), and I’m planning on switching to the flowering stage tomorrow to start off the 7th week. My Blue Ox is getting big, and I don’t want to veg anymore! I will not make the same error twice! I let my 1st plant veg for 10 weeks from seed, and it’s a BEAST! It takes up a whole 48 x 48 x 80 inch tent all by itself!! Never again. So today I fed half gallon of chilled water (46.6 degrees F) with CALiMAGic increased to 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The pH was 6.6 and didn’t need adjusting. The TDS was 932 ppm going in. Runoff for pH was 5.6, and TDS was 2701 ppm. Tent temp was 79.4 degrees F, and humidity was 53%. I plan to defoliate a lot very soon to prepare for fresh buds to grow. She’ll have to flower in the small tent for 3 weeks then I’ll move them to the bigger tent so they have room to grow.

plants r almost DEAD

Curling is still a problem still :( A rainy week so high humidity all around... looking tasty though! Buds are getting bigger and sticker!

Day 3 of flower & these ladies are stretching great! We are having a bit of a calmag Deficiency right now but currently in the process of trying to fix it so hopefully they bounce back! The Gelato OG from seedsman is a monster to only be 42 days old not sure if I just got a good pheno or what happened but compared to the other gelato beside it from the same bag it looks like a completely different plant! Can’t wait to see how the buds turn out! Happy growing friends!✌️🏼🙏🏼 Day 4 of flower - recharge water at 6.5 Day 5 of flower - ladies are really starting to fill out & stretch, can’t wait to see how this run turns out✌️🏼🌱 Day 7 of flower - Not much to say everything is going great so far! Thanks for following & happy growing friends✌️🏼🌱 Day 8 of flower - They are all stretching & growing so much everyday! Couldn’t be happier so far!👍🏼🤙🏼 Day 9 of flower - end of week 7 things seem to be going great so far, fingers crossed we can keep it this way through harvest! Happy growing friends & thanks for watching!✌️🏼🌱

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Flushed these out a little yesterday to prevent build up. Starting to swell up a little bit.

Merry Chrismas

En la 4ta semana aumentamos la dosis del fertilizante para crecimiento, regulamos su p.h en 6.0 e hicimos una poda apical en el 4to nodo de cada una de las plantas.

Extrem growth since she is under the Sanlight LED on 50%. Plant looking healthy and good so far.

Day 43 since seed touched soil. Hard week past. Those long not drinking days when cycle was taking 8 days to dry out made damage, i still see magnesium, but now added some rusty spots and i cant understand is it calcium or my spraying of Leaf Coat and burn. No spray this week, will check if new will appear. Because of troubles i postponed flip and top up till next watering. It should be in 4-5 days. Done huge clearing, few more new ties added, reajusted old. 3.5 liters of 6.3 phed dechlorinated water went in after training. Joe is damaged most, develops slowly, Twins definitely bigger by mass. Picky strain looks like ;) Planing to install scrog this week too. Mars Hydro TSL2000 is on 70% output, thinking to increase it with flip to 75. Light is working fine , really covers all space , great affordable light for colder climate. Day 45. Girls recovered from training very nice ! In few days flip . Day 47. Girls got top up. Put first level of scrog. Flipped to 12/12, tent is rammed ;) light output on 75%, 4 liters of 6.3 phed water went in. Top up was dosed, mixed well and laid on top, then i rough and mix top lair of soil with top up and only then i water. All pots are 30 litres ( grams and ml , have in mind ) : Ecothrive - Biosys - 5 ml / pot Ecotrive - Charge - 120 ml / pot Ecothrive - Life Cycle - 60 g. / pot Ecothrive - Bio Blend - 200 ml / pot. Think this will be my standart top up, i run out of Great White, have for one top up, will do it in 2-3 waterings seperately from all. Planning to repeat same top up at begining of week 4 of flower. Girls look better without spraying, most prob burn from too intense light, despite me giving 30-60 min of reduced to minimum after spraying. From now on - only when lights off. Will apply in few days, think Saturday. Happy Growing !!!

hello again everyone, I'm in my mastery period now. Let the lights turn on, let the show begin. The target is 4x autoflower 400 grams.200 watt LED extra additional light will be added in the flower. Are you ready to go to the destination with me?

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 7 | Listening to What the Plant Is Saying Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the biggest lessons this project continues teaching me is that every phenotype speaks its own language. Some whisper. Some shout. Some ask for almost nothing. And others aren't shy about telling you exactly what they need. Chem Brûlée Pheno A definitely belongs to that second group. Standing at around 120 cm, she's what I would consider a medium-sized indoor plant. She isn't trying to dominate the room with height, nor is she hiding beneath the canopy. Instead, she's growing with a beautiful balanced structure, allowing every branch plenty of space to develop its own flowers. This week she reminded me that healthy cultivation isn't about forcing plants to follow our schedule. It's about paying attention when they ask for something different. 🌿 A Plant That Isn't Afraid to Ask One of the first things I noticed this week was the colour of some of the older foliage. Several lower fan leaves continued becoming lighter green than the rest of the canopy, clearly telling me that this phenotype wanted a little more nutrition than she had been receiving. Rather than seeing this as a problem, I see it as communication. One of the fascinating parts of growing twelve different cultivars side by side is discovering that every plant processes nutrients slightly differently. They all share the same AutoPot reservoir, the same environment, the same lighting and the same feeding schedule, yet each one responds according to its own genetics. Chem Brûlée simply happens to be one of the hungrier ladies in the room. The good news is that after increasing the EC for the entire reservoir, she's already beginning to respond beautifully. The newest growth is noticeably greener and healthier, giving me confidence that we made the right adjustment at exactly the right time. Sometimes plants don't need dramatic interventions. They simply need us to listen. 🌼 Building Beautiful Flowers While the foliage has been asking for a little extra attention, the flowers certainly haven't slowed down. The main cola continues becoming more defined every day, while bud sites keep stacking along every branch throughout the plant. Fresh white pistils continue emerging everywhere, and it's becoming easier to imagine the shape these flowers will eventually take over the coming weeks. The stretch is now beginning to slow. Flower production is taking over. Every day a little less energy goes into growing taller, and a little more goes into building beautiful colas. This is where the fun really begins. 🍃 Letting the Plant Lead Apart from increasing the nutrient strength, this has been another calm week inside the tent. No heavy defoliation. No unnecessary training. Just careful observation and a little leaf tucking whenever needed to expose developing flower sites. I've learned that during these early flowering weeks, patience usually gives better results than constantly reaching for the scissors. The plant already has a plan. Sometimes my job is simply to stay out of her way. 🍽️ Feeding After seeing this phenotype asking for a little more nutrition, the reservoir strength was increased for the entire room. This week's feeding consisted of: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L Along with small pH adjustments using Lemon Kick whenever necessary. Since every AutoPot shares the same nutrient reservoir, individual feeding isn't possible. Fortunately, the entire room was ready for the increase, meaning Chem Brûlée benefits from the adjustment alongside all of her sisters. 🌡️ Environment The flowering room continues running beautifully stable. • Day temperature averaged 29°C • Night temperature remained around 25°C • Relative humidity averaged 60% • Solution temperature stayed close to 22°C • Root zone remained near 21°C • Atmospheric CO₂ averaged 639 ppm Providing the plants with a stable environment allows them to dedicate their energy toward producing flowers instead of constantly adapting to changing conditions. Consistency continues to be one of the biggest advantages in this grow. 📸 Behind This Week's Photos This week's photographs tell a wonderful story. The close-up shots reveal beautiful clusters of fresh white pistils beginning to stack into proper flower sites, while the wider images showcase a very balanced plant with elegant branching and excellent spacing throughout the canopy. You can also spot the lighter colour on some of the older leaves that first caught my attention this week, but the newest growth already looks healthier and much richer in colour. It's always satisfying when the plant immediately shows you that she's appreciating the changes you've made. Sometimes photographs become more than memories. They become conversations between grower and plant. 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should bring another exciting step in her development. I expect the flowers to continue stacking as the stretch gradually comes to an end and the plant shifts almost entirely into flower production. I'll also be watching the foliage closely, hoping to see that healthier green colour continue spreading now that the feeding has been increased. The plan remains exactly the same. Maintain a stable environment. Keep the reservoir consistent. Observe carefully. And let the plant do what she does best. Sometimes growing isn't about constantly changing things. Sometimes it's about making one good decision and giving nature the time to respond. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure.

I don't have single complaint. I love this strain and will absolutely be growing more in the future! Great bud structure, never a yellow leaf, just overall badass plant. Very happy I took a clone lol.

Transplanted from 3 gallon to 5 gallon...i will let recover and probably put them into flower next week

Ok guys we are starting week two of this pineapple chunk strain from Barney's farm. So far everything is looking good and healthy. I gave her her first worm tea and have been stressing her stem with light flicks and slow bends since day 2. I've been increasing the light incrementally every day and it seem to take it all as it comes. I hooked up a diy light mover in the garden increase light impact and decrease possible dead spots in the growing space. All and all it's been a easy week with this strain and everything looks promising so far. Thanks for checking out my grow. If you like Barney's farm genetics or pineapple chunk specifically or if you are interested in organic/ living soil growing follow along and lets watch her grow together!

Yes, I have really gone over the top, I have removed many more leaves than I had, and the tails of the plants has not come to join at all due to the failed defoliation. Being the first defoliation I do, I did not really know what I was doing and I went crazy. Now that it has been several weeks since I made this defoliation, I realize that I should not have removed the leaves from the nodes of the tails, because they have stopped growing and have not joined with their superior parts. Anyway, the plants are beautiful today and although they could be much better I feel very happy with them. I know I've made 2 fatal mistakes in this grow  - The first has been the massive defoliation badly done, defoliation yes, but with head ... do not follow my example.  - The second failure that I see today, is that I did not leave enough growth time (18/6) after having made the last pruning and that has made the tails have been a length much less than what would have been desired, I think that 2 more weeks of growth would have been perfect. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 20/04/19 - 1,250 ml with Sensizym, Silica, Rhino Sk, Bud Ignitor, Big Bud, Bud Candy & Bud Factor-x @ PH6.4 & 1.2 E.C. 23/04/19 - 1,250 ml with All week nutrients - (Silica, Sensizym & Bud Ignitor) @ PH6.5 & 1.5 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- 1 - Antes de la defoliación 2 - Defoliación 3 - Después de la defoliación -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Como podéis ver esta semana he hecho una defoliación. Si, efectivamente me he pasado de listo, he quitado muchas más hojas de las que debía y las colas de las plantas no ha llegado a unirse del todo debido a la fallida defoliación. Al ser la primera defoliación que realizo, no sabía muy bien que hacía y me lancé a lo loco. Ahora que han pasado varias semanas desde que realicé esta defoliación, me doy cuenta de que no debí de haber quitado las hojas de los nodos de las colas, pues estos han dejado de crecer y no se han unido con sus partes superioras. De todas maneras, las plantas están preciosas a día de hoy y aunque podrían estar mucho mejor me doy con un canto en los dientes. Se que he cometido 2 errores gordos en este cultivo - El primero ha sido la defoliación masiva mal realizada, defoliación si, pero con cabeza.... no sigáis mi ejemplo. - El segundo fallo que yo veo a día de hoy, es que no dejé suficiente tiempo de crecimiento (18/6) después de haber realizado las últimas podas y eso ha hecho que las colas hayan quedado de una longitud muy inferior a la que hubiera deseado, creo que 2 semanas más de crecimiento hubiera sido perfecto. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 20/04/19 - 1.250 ml con Sensizym, Silica, Rhino Sk, Bud Ignitor, Big Bud, Bud Candy y Bud Factor-x @ PH6.4 & 1,2 E.C. 23/04/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales - (Silica, Sensizym y Bud Ignitor) @ PH6,5 & 1,5 E.C.
