Well, this strain is surely flowering for a long time, it's still stretching. I wonder if it will stop stretching and start fattening the buds this week... Anyhow, one of the reasons why I don't defoliate much is because the plant does that by itself. When the lower leaves receive almost no light (because all the light is blocked by the thick growing canopy) they start to send their nutrients to the top. When they are donez they just fall off on their own. You see, leaves are like solar panels AND nutrient reserves! Just make sure this process is slow and the leaves that receive light are still very healthy and green. If many leaves are falling or if they fall really fast you gotta make sure is not a deficiency or nutrient lockout! ... Again just water your plant with bloom formula (and a bit of calmag) to an EC that allows you to maintain the plant heathly and the runoff not to high (in my case 1mS/cm). Remember to alternate nutrients and pHd tap water. That's pretty much all left to do from here to harvest. Obviously if you see something wrong try to correct it. Day 66 update. I dropped something on my plant. It bended one branch very badly and severed some leaves and a bud :( Well, accidents happen. Luckily cannabis is a very very resilient plant, one might be surprised at how much this plants can take. Anyhow, taped everything together loosely, pulled the most bent branches upwards with a thread and I will wait for it to heal... If everything goes well, this branches should be even stronger than the others. Let's hope that's my fate! Update day 69. Although I have been feeding with 1.0 mS/cm once, then pHd water then feed again, the run off from today measured 3.0 mS/cm ! It's climbing still. I flushed again, until the runoff was at 1.5 mS/cm. I think I understand what happened, my theory is that the plant needs a lot more water now, but not as many more nutrients. So it takes the 2.5 daily liters of water, but it might only eat the nutrients in 1lt of water, so the rest stays on the roots and accumulates, raising the EC of the soil. So far, by checking EC on the soil once every week or two I have avoided nutrient toxicity and lockout. I think there are two options, either lowering the concentration of nutrients I feed it (so 2.5 lts a day will contain less dissolved nutrients), or spacing out the feedings with more intermediate waterings of plain water. I think I am going to go with the former, next week I will try feeding an EC of 0.8 mS/cm on 3L then tap water and so on from next week on. I prefer to underfeed than to overfeed, which is what I recommend for other boobs, it's better to have some yield than to risk killing the plant. We will get better with time...

Hey everyone, Day 14 and things are going ok so far. I put all the plants in a pop up greenhouse so I could add some humidity. Hoping for some good growth this week as weather continues to be nice.

Empieza la sexta semana. Esta debía ser la última. Pero todavía quedan unos días más, así que me voy a extender a 7 semanas. Se pueden ver algunos cogollos grandes y voluminosos. Algunos otros no tanto, pero sin tanta diferencia. Hice una solución bien cargada para aprovechar la última semana de engorde. Espero llegar cómodo a la cosecha y sacar buenos resultados. Ya fumé algunas hojas con la pipa de agua, y el sabor y potencia se empiezan a notar. Seguiré actualizando cómo se termina esto. Día 38. Todo sigue muy bien. Las flores siguen engordando y las hojas llenas de tricomas. Creo que a pesar de algunos detalles, el resultado va a ser interesante. Ya es la cuenta regresiva y de no mediar problemas habrá una cosecha abundante. Por ahora se prende intermitentemente el ventilador a la noche, por lo que no se ven problemas de humedad. Pero ante la duda en cualquier momento coy a dejar prendidos los extractores toda la noche. Día 40. Estoy viendo que unos pocos tricomas recién se empiezan a poner blancos. Por lo cual puede ser que incluso se alargue una semana más de lo que pensaba, llegando a 8. Hoy llegó el overdrive de advanced, pero no se si usarlo en esta planta, ya que depende de la maduración de los tricomas si empiezo el lavado en tres días, o no. El engorde es muy notorio en estos días, así que ya estoy bastante conforme. Aún así voy a ver si es necesaria una semana más de nutrición o no.

This week is officially week 1 of Ms. Hypnotic and she doing very well. I haven't had to water her much but that hasn't been an issue! Will start watering this week! But she's happy and so am I! Will update with pics

8/21/24. Going into week 8 flower Are we there yet? Haha.. no. Day 57 out of stated 70. 13 days? Hmmm I don’t know. I thought she might go longer than that, BUT now I think it’ll be less. I suspect another week and she’ll be ready. Appearance wise, I’d say she’s pretty much there.. trichomes say other wise. Still quite a bit of clear with the start of milky coming. It’s all gonna be about ripening now. Water/fed her today. She’s yellowing heavily or I would have already stopped. I’m guessing this is just her type of fade. No real colors going other than yellow. Maybe that’s because she’s a banana 😄 I increased the light to 80% a couple days ago just to be a pushy bitch. I’ll decrease it way down to probably about 40-50% in a few days because I like to do that when they’re finishing up to help bring temperature down and I think it makes them wrap it up. These pictures don’t do justice to the fatness of these buds. They’re obese and not ashamed. Body positivity with this girl. Somehow some of the buds have suicided. Aka jumped out of their spot in the trellis and tried to hit the floor. I can’t do anything about it really. Can’t reach them and can’t be bothered. Smell? Skunky rotten fruity…idk. And coffee? You can smell it through the place and maybe at the neighbors LOL Wellp. Waiting game now. See yuh next time ✌️

Well I found out what happened to the plant. Took forever to get the footage but I finally did. Windy Day + Forgot To Water = Plants Blown Over The Edge I also moved the other plant inside to see if it will do any better vs outside in the cold wet weather, stringed up some other lights and will update this soon. Just wanted to get the main pic of the missing plant up and my disappointment for the side by side contest. Given the outcome of the Dynomyco contest I will not be giving them credit for anything and will remove all branding in this contest. They have picked a diary that did not adhere to the rules they set in place then they arbitrarily changed the rules.... Sick of this shit from companies and grow diaries. The diary they picked as #1 is a joke, it does not showcase the product at all. Its a good looking plant but it does not tick any of the boxes for the contest. From the contest page. The selected growers are required to do the following: post updates of their plants to the forum – GROW JOURNAL SECTION - twice a week and tag "DYNOMYCO SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT " Upload your side-by-side photos includes: Your application of DYNOMYCO into your growing mediums At every transplant, you MUST snap root pics, General pictures of your plants (stem, leaves, and plant health) At harvest time we want to see those rootballs!! A minimum of 2 plants For your side-by-side you must use cuttings from the same strain Not once did the "winner" tag Dynomyco show us what you got as requested in the rules in the diary or any comment on the diary. Nor did they mention this was a comparative grow using Dynomyco. They called the diary side by side and that's it no other communication. They did not document every transplant, and the one they did do was one single photo. "pics" as in plural as per contest rules. They did not use clones/cuttings from the same strain as was the contest requirements, Over all a complete shit show and I would not recommend using this product if you use any form of phosphorous fertilizer It will not add anything for your grow. Zero application outside of soil based grows in the earth, not a pot. Just wasted money, More on the phosphorous below: Fungi and Mycorrhizae find excess phosphorous toxic and they do not come out of their spore state to form beneficial relationships with the roots. https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/403/2015/03/mycorrhizae.pdf [But by far the most damaging to mycorrhizal health is excessive fertilizer application, especially of those containing phosphate; this includes composted manure and many soilless potting mixes. With a plethora of nutrients, plants are less dependent on mycorrhizae, and competitive free-living microbes thrive in nutrient-rich soils. Mycorrhizal fungi retreat into the shadows, remaining inactive until more hospitable soil conditions return.] https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/403/2015/03/phosphate.pdf [Moreover, it has been experimentally demonstrated that high levels of phosphorus are detrimental to mycorrhizal health and lower the rate of mycorrhizal infection of root systems. This mutually beneficial relationship between the fungus and the plant roots allows the plant to more effectively explore the soil environment and extract needed nutrients. In the absence of mycorrhizae, the plant must expend more energy growing additional roots and root hairs to accomplish the same task.] https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/403/2015/03/phosphate-2.pdf [Numerous studies have demonstrated that roses, like most terrestrial plants, maintain symbiotic relationships with beneficial fungi. If you add phosphate to your rose plants, you will decrease the ability of mycorrhizal fungi to colonize the rose roots. Without these fungal partners, rose roots must work harder to extract water and nutrients from the soil. Moreover, this excess phosphate is injurious to other soil organisms. With increased fertilizer additions, soil salinity increases. You have now created an artificial system in which soil health is so impacted that you must continue to add fertilizer for your plants to survive.]

Back on track today is Day 35. In the past I have fed lightly I dont like burnt tips but with the variety of strains in this grow with the co2 I bumped it up a little. Some strains like the Polar Vortex 6 are much more sensitive than some others so it was unavoidable. Other than the tips they are all doing pretty well. The Cherry kush mints in the 4x8 in my eyes is clearly a beast it had the shortest veg time and caught up to most of the big girls. Also its development has been impressive with a unique terp profile at this stage. The sleeper is the garlicane 5. I've grown most of these once or twice before but with the upgrades and the co2 that one has developed nicely and looks like it will put on some serious weight. Things will start to heat up over the next couple weeks. See my IG for some promo codes @bangdangbuds

Pretty happy with progress on the flowering. No idea how much longer it will take but I ran out of fertilizer. Will head to the local hydro store to pick some more up today. The large spindly plant is still growing. It's about twice as tall as the others and nowhere near as far along with the flowering - at least the buds are still much smaller. No idea what variety - a mystery plant!

Lampe 100% Die drei Damen haben die 1m-Marke geknackt. 🌱🌱 Die GC hab ich rausgenommen – wegen des Platzes, aber auch, weil sie einfach übelst nachhing. 😅 Jetzt haben die anderen mehr Raum. Hab ein Netz eingezogen, um die Triebe besser zu verteilen und sie etwas von der Lampe wegzubekommen (nur noch ca. 23 cm Abstand zu den obersten!). Sonst alles mehr als stabil: Die Blattfarbe sieht super aus und die Buds werden schon deutlich dicker.💪🔥 Mo:(Fotos) Di: Gießen: 6L je nach Bedarf Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1,5 ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 1,7 ml/L PK 13/14 = 0,7 pH: 6.03 EC: 1.89 Drain: Mi: Do: Gießen: 6L je nach Bedarf Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1 ,5ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 1,7 ml/L PK 13/14 = 0,8 pH: 5.88 EC: 1.85 Drain: Fr: Sa: Gießen: 4L je Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1,5 ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 2 ml/L PK 13/14 = 1 pH: 5.8 EC: 1.9 So: Gießen: 4L je Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1,5 ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 2 ml/L PK 13/14 = 1 pH: 5.8 EC: 1.9

Welcome to week 4 of the LSD-25 grow. Training her has kept me busy all week. Everyday small adjustments have been made to the LST. Since these grow so fast, I started to removed smaller bud sites and some fan leaves. By doing this, she should start focusing her energy where I want to. I was able to collect rain water for her this week with a dose of Mammoth P. This coming week I'll be brewing her some compost tea as per BioTabs recommendation. Majority of the training is complete and I am pleased with the results. It's just a matter of time before she is in full bloom. Looking forward to seeing how chunky and purple her buds turn out. At Day 5 of this week, she's already showing some purpose on her main stem

Última semana!!! Muy contento con todas las variedades!! Cuando la seque y la cure, volveré a escribir mi opinión de cada una de ellas. Buenos humos!!

Genetica molto resistente

Last week. Dropping temps and a good drench with plain water. We shall see.

Just trimmed up the girls one last time before the flip, took about twelve clones off of them all in total because I need to select a blueberry x zamal mom from them. really hoping they stretch quickly in the first couple weeks to give me some extra room to work with in the canopy.

No Complaints No Issues Or Problems In The Garden...just being watered PH 6.0 and cal mag for now☺️

two days of darkness satisfied! 👹

End of week 3. Looking good. She is covered in bud sites. Some decent development so far. She hasn't stretched as much as I'd have liked but her colas look to start pretty low. Time well tell how much she will produce. Can't wait to watch her bulk up!
