We back with some buckets! Time to fire up the pumps and get this show on the road. Soaked this beautiful little gem of a bean in some water until it cracked then threw it into the bucket with 100% perlite. Started them on a low dose of maxigro on day 3. Doing these diy Dutch Bucket style as always. Going to be running 8 in house genetics strains on the system with constant 24 hour a day irrigation. Not much exciting going on yet, but with a little luck that may change pretty soon. A huge thanks to @wildeweed for this bean.

I gave this beautiful girl a topping, LST, defoliation and a trim, she is feeling great 💚🌱

Hello growers and welcome to week 6. I expect Queen Citronella to gain a lot of height this week. I will be doing the measurements shortly, but first I wanted to share some news! Queen Citronella has a new home, she hasn't moved in yet, but I'm working on it today. I will also be rearranging all the other grows and starting some new things off! I am not sure if I have mentioned it anywhere but I am using a 1.2m x 1.2.m x 1.8m tent.. I have just got a 60cm x 60cm x 140cm tent and a 300w LED. Her Majesty I hope will enjoy her new quarters. Day 36: I have lowered the light to 30cm above the tallest plants. Day 37: It is done! Queen Citronella resides in her own palace, while the rest of the plebs squat together in the communal living area. I have reorganised and moved my 4x4, mounting the carbon filter and duct fan properly in the center. Setup a 2 x 2 with a 300w LED and put the lights for both tents on the same timer (for now). I will measure and photograph Her Majesty a little later, including photos of her new home. Day 37: Added media. Height: 31cm. Fertigated 2l. Day 37.5: Alright she is really stretching fast, she grew almost 5cm in a little over 30 hours, A thought has just occurred to me; I could, if I chose to, put the Queen on a flower cycle at this point. Now I did want to do a full grow of clones, however we're talking something like another 2 weeks of veg then 2 weeks for cuttings to root, then I'd want to veg them for a few more weeks, maybe 2, 3 or 4? So that's 6-10 weeks before I start flowering. Then at least ten weeks of flowering, A week to dry, and at least a fortnight to cure. We're talking 20-25 weeks before I get to smoke it, that's six months! I probably wont be able to grow in the summer due to the heat. Now I already have the one cutting which I am hoping will root soon, which I can take forward, but I also have two more seeds. So, regretfully, I think I will change my plans. I will flower queen Citronella, starting on day 43. I still intend to do a full tent of Super Lemon Haze clones, but I think I will postpone that adventure until September. So this is now the final week or final five days of veg, she will spend the bulk of her last week of veg under a different light. We wont get much data on vegging (unless there is a significant change this week) but it'll be a nice trial run flowering with an LED light for the first time. Exciting! I am still waiting for the Epislon F1 seeds from RQS. I set their pot up today, inoculated, fed, and sowed some Dark Opal (Purple) Greek Basil and a liberal sprinkling of chamomile. I am going to germinate all five seeds in jiffy pellets and then put them all in the same 40l Day 38: I have realised Her Majesty was too tall to flower in this little tent so I snapped her neck a bit. I installed a photometer app yesterday and discovered I was blasting Citronella with 75 DLI so I raised to light up until canopy level was 40 DLI. The LED is pretty good. The HPS Dual Spectrum bulb in the main tent must be on its last legs as output was around 40 DLI for optimally positioned plants and 30 least optionally positioned. I could do to buy a new bulb. Identical replacement is about fifteen bucks, best one is about fifty. For that I could get another one of those LEDs which seems like better value. At the moment though I really need the heat. So I am thinking identical replacement. 4 days to flower cycle! Day 38.5: Replaced crappy old Dutch barn reflector with a much nicer angel wing model. Installed a significantly larger carbon filter into the main tent which has significantly increased air flow. The main tent vents into the bottom of Queen Citronella's tent, and from there and unfiltered duct fan in the far top corner exhausts it out. The exhaust pipe goes up the chimney. Why have I reorganised and moved the tents again so soon is because I was wasting power heating the little tent with the LED light, but the main tent has excess heat. Well this setup is working a treat. Citronella is sitting in a balmy 23-24 degree wind tunnel. Check out the little video of the changes. Day 39: I think her majesty likes her new quarters. It's going to be weird seeing her square in a few more days. We are 2 days into a "dry spell" I'm simulating for all my plants. Day 40: Dry spell ended. Fertigated 6l. Day 41: Fertigated 3l. Citronella's penultimate day of veg, she is going 12/12 from lights out after next. Photos taken 10:00 9/2/23. Current lights out is Citronella's last 6 hour night! Day 42: Start: Have performed pre-flower LST, HST, and defoliation. 24 hours to flower cycle. Day 42: End: photographed immediately before first 12h night. End of week summary: Huge week for Citronella. I think this LED light is pretty good. Change of plans regarding the grow and preparing her for flower. Let's see how she does.

Harvest in week 11. One plant dried in a curefridge and the other one in a room for 10 days with just a little wet triming. After that the fully trimed buds cured for 10 days in jars with vivid fresh cure packs. The buds are nice and frosty with a great fruity smell. Good yield for my first try. THC is 16% and 13% with low CBD, but the effect can be very intense. I am very happy with my harvest.

It’s a bit sad to realize that "Autumn" has officially arrived. The trichomes have gone cloudy, the leaves are fading, and I’m out here wiping away a tear. This girl, whom I’ve been spending every day with for almost half a year, is finally wrapping up her cycle. Well, it’s been a beautiful ride, and Think Fast proved to be an incredibly strong and resilient strain. I’ll break down my full thoughts and review of the genetics during harvest week. By the way, the next update will drop right after the dry, I know you guys are all waiting to see the final dry weight. But for now, it's time to flush. The lights are dialed down a bit, the reservoir is filled with pure RO water, and my heart is filled with pure, bittersweet blues. Don't lose track of me, we’ll meet again in about 15 days! In the meantime, drop your guesses below - how much do you think we’ll see on the scales? Honestly, I can’t even begin to guess.

Zwei entwickeln sich prächtig und machen das LST super mit die dritte wächst so langsam vor sich her

Gorilla Zkittles is looking the strongest and biggest so far but all 7 seem pretty healthy. Best smells coming from the Purple Strawberry Sherbert, wow something else🤤🤤🤤 the temperatures are dropping and nighttime’s are soon gonna be to cold in my little room. Possibly another timed heater to go in there to come on as the lights fade. Humidity almost under control i think I should be able to keep the tent at or around 50% fingers crossed, but that’s another few pence on electricity😕.

Day 56 The party is on !! i had to bring down a bit the food from 2ml to 1,5 due to darkening on the leafs with burned tips... plant is on the limit but not burned yet... but looking good anyway beautiful Little nuggets except Permanent marker that is clearly 10 days ahead or so...better... like that i have something new to somke meanwhile i trim the other plants...

Here she is. Dawg daze reaching her final stages . She's fattening up beautifully n smells amazing. Only fed tap water every other day as needed. So far just waiting on her to finish up. Will update next week on her growth. Grow easy.

Week 10 – Day 70 / FLO 42 🌞 Temp: 25°C 💦 RH: 55% 💥 PPFD: 700 µmol 🌬️ VPD: 1.5 ⚡ EC: 0.9 💦 H2O: 1000ml/24h Braccoli is still drinking 1L of water daily, which is impressive considering it's in just a 7L pot. The dry weather outside is working in my favor, allowing me to bring down humidity to as low as 50%, creating perfect conditions for resin production. thx for likes comments see you next week 👊

Gave her a big dose of GO bloom and GO bio bud, and molasses. I just feed her once a week, 16L is what I take down .

👍

Still think it makes a difference.

Day 93 - Fattened up good, getting really heavy....posted pic of test bud.... vid of the led uv globe i got on ebay... works awesome.... highly recommend...... 😎 maybe 1 more week.... they smell delicious, not very strong smell.... just normal water in bottom drip tray, dutch master one gold ....next week, flush em and next sunday pull em..... idk.... Day 95 - had a good look at both girls and worked out a harvest plan...... i've started flushing/watering on the smaller one, and sunday (day 100) will be her last. i'll leave the larger one (she's still quiet white) for another week and re evaluate her fate next week. Day 97 - 4 vids .... looks good 😎 getting a 1600x Camera Endoscope USB Digital Microscope from ebay, see if it will help with harvest........ 😎

hey guys dinachem is looking better this week after swapping hps for led last week temps are a lot better but still high 70s even with no hps and just led but shes a lot happier removed lots of dead and faded leaves and dosnt seem to be getting worse. will start introducing bud candy at 0.5g per 2l it didn't really effect ph or e.c which I like . she's started showing some frost and should start fattening up from here on feed will be the same untill week before flush then will drop to half of the nutrient listed she's got a similar smell to gorilla so far which I'm liking a lot sounds weird but with a slight hint of garlic lol thanks for reading happy growing guys

This week I have seen the bud sites really coming on I removed the last few leaves I am going to as they were over shadowing other but sites. They smell heavenly and I can't tell you how beautiful they are and they love the monkey nutrients. I will start pk 14/15 this week These ladies are growing everyday and I am so excited to see there daily progress from here on in Thanks for reading 💚💚🌱🌱

01/30 - Veg - Starting to Pre-flower - Should be full flowering by next week - Nute feed and light run remain the same (18/6) Heavier water feeds more often now (Daily) - she has grown as well in the last week ( 5 Inches ) 15 Inches total.

A pleasure to grow and a pleasure to smoke thanks humboldt
