Pretty good week overall! Day 80, I am posting a little early to coincide with my expected harvest in 2 weeks, and because today I officially started the flush! At this point I am anticipating the harvest between 5 and 14 days from now, depending on how quickly the buds finish ripening up. I am guessing the taller plant has about 75% red hairs and over 50% cloudy trichomes at this point. The shorter plant is slightly behind with maybe 40% of her hairs being red and maybe a third of the trichomes are cloudy. They have made a lot of progress over the past week, so🤞 they will continue that trend. Did a pretty decent defoliation on the shorter plant, due to some fan leaves that were blocking light from the lower canopy turning yellow. I have decided to try molasses with my flush water, hopefully that will improve my final product. One final note is the smell.... it is considerably stronger this time than either of my first 2 grows. Typically I do not bother with a carbon filter, but the smell was so strong it leaked in from my garage and permeated my entire house! So I added filter (and a very strong candle) and it seems to have helped the problem. Super excited for the harvest, will definitely keep everyone posted!

Still going through flowering. She has stayed short and stocky throughout since week 3/4 actually. About that time I remember watering her with nutrients that must have been too acidic. I'm pretty sure I omitted add ph up. 😭 The damage was done, growth all but stopped. As she is an auto flower there is no time to 'save' her and grow a big plant, so we will go to the end with what we've got.

just starting to flower. looking happy!

I changed the fertilizer from organic to inorganic. It was seen that the plant was needed nitrogen, the plant was rather weak in growth, and the color of the leaves was yellow. When i had return to mineral fertilizers the plant immediately restored.

Welcome back once again to my DWC tutorial for beginners like Me. As this grow is drawing to an end I decided that this week I'll run back thru the topics I previously discussed for a bit of revision . Firstly I'll mention the plants progress. The Blue cheese auto is almost ready to pick , The calyxes are swelling and the trichomes are mostly clouded now with a few amber. I will let her run thru until monday the 9th before starting the flushing process with some flawless finish. This go for aprox 2 days and then I'll just run her on plain water until the end of week 7 Unless She's ready before then She's Drinking nutes still and I've dosed her up with the last of the liquid guano concentrate . Now for some revision of what we have already discussed . *Week 1* I showed how to make some bubble buckets with full instructions and pictures *Week 2 *Was all about water chemistry and that Cannabis prefers to be in a range from 5.5 - 6.5 when growing in hydroponics *Week 3* Was about the importance of keeping your tds and ph meters calibrated and working properly *Week 4* All about nutrient mixing and how to prepare a nutrient solution *Week 5* was all about how the plant contracted rust fungus and how over the coarse of just one week and the use of sulfur I overcame the issue and the plant won *Week 6* Was the weekly care guide for new growers Basically explaining the care you must provide from day to day to keep the plant healthy *Week 7* Was all about the optimum environment and conditions your plants will need to thrive We discussed the use of fans etc to keep the grow area cool etc *Week 8* Pests and diseases that can attack your plants we discuss the ways to combat this *Week 9* No tutorial just a full plant update with pics *Week 10* was about nutrient problems and deficiencies how to read what your plants are telling you and how to either prevent or fix any problems *Week 11* was about the plants trichomes and how to tell when the optimum harvest times by watching their development. Ideally you want them Clouded with a few amber . but this will differ from user to user and from strain to strain. *Week 12* was a revision of the previous weeks and next week will be the final plant pics before harvest . Thanks heaps to those who have been following this diary so far and I hope I have managed to help someone along the way

I was given the seed months before and just grew it on a whim with the LA and one of my own. I turned out great. It got the far right side of the tent and did well. She did even better with extra room up when the LA had to be moved. I jumped the gun on the flush and wish I could have given another week, but the down side to this specimen is prone to mold and my hands were tied. I do have another smaller plant with VERY dense buds that's sitting at 50-60% RH - not a sign of mold.. I'm happy with this plant.

Selectively defoliated 1 or 2 large fan leaves on each plant that were blocking direct light to the nodes growing . I REALLY need those secondary branches to elongate so I can begin training them down & out towards the other rim of the 5 gallon pot . Each plant is getting a little over a half of a gallon every 3 days currently I’ll set my goal to have my canopy structured & fabric pot filled out rim to rim by the time I need to amend & top dress for the flowering feeding in 2.5 wks . I feel if I can fill my pot with healthy veg before the onset of flowering I can definitely get 4 ounces per plant . Still racing against the clock here 6/4 lost control of temps tent went to 89F after AC went out. Raised light , decreased dimmer , & increased the exhaust fan to 100% after seeing leaves begin to canoe & wilt . **Noticed just the slightest nutrient burn on a few (not all) of the girls so I definitely won’t be upping the ppm yet & since there still a solid 2 weeks worth of dry amended food in this soil so just water will do fine for the next watering . The girls this last feeding from the compost tea are drinking slower it seems. Though this feeding did include almost 1 gallon more of water & the lowering of the light intensity as well as loss of control of Air Conditioning they are STILL noticeably wetter than normal . I think at this rate from the last watering on 6/2 they won’t be dry again until 6/8 at which date I’ll decrease the amount of water I’ll be giving them substantially.

Se poda primer nudo , ya pronto se pasará a floración.

Apart refilling the reservoir more frequently, it’s the same as usual some tea

If you thought last week the growth was fast, then it literally exploded this week 😎. Despite topping, they went full throttle the next day. Even if you are not yet connected to the network, I today the lamps on 12/12. I suspect that she will loosely sleep the net in stretch. The root growth is still very extreme 😎. I am very excited to see what will happen this week. Greetings to everyone and let grow 💪🏻

Alright Robust in the original shape of a Christmas tree, its thick leaves and well-resined flowers the pistil phase starts to turn orange the trichomes we can go further to have milky with amber, and enjoy its performance until the end its smell is very strong it is sweet .

Had some build up on roots. Cleaned and flushed with Athena cleanse. Switched to sterile nutrients for now. First week of flower. Strawberry auto is 2-3 weeks into flower. I’ll have better photos next week

Cant wait till flush to see em purp OUT OR BLACK OUT 💜🖤🎩🌈🍬

Well I'm not really sure where to start......Got a lot of work done around the garden this week. Got the first load of boards up on the fence and I've been bracing as I go. Grass all trimmed down and some of the inside of the plants, it was a mosquito magnet in there, wasn't fit to be in, it has gotten better. I gave them what I had left of Gaia Green 4-4-4, which was 3 cups each a little shy of what I wanted to put in so I have another bag coming here very shortly and we will top it up then.So far between everything in the garden right now we have went thru 20kg of 4-4-4, minus 6 cups for the indoor peyote super soil. Also getting some trellis as I thought I had enough from last year but cant seem to find it anywhere. They're getting pretty big now kinda makes me worry a bit, never thought they would be this big..... Purple Punch, #1: 73 inches, #2: 76 inches, #3: 78 inches Orange Sherbert, #1: 76 inches, #2: 72 inches, #3: 69 inches I got some lady bugs today and have released them. I'm hoping to be able to pick up enough boards next time I come home that I can finish closing it in. I won't be closing in the south side, I'm just going to be using the cage, please don't make me regret this...... I would really like to see the stretch set in like NOW but thats not going to happen, maybe next time I'm home we'll start to see flowers, if they don't get wrecked in the mean time, gotta get my wall up!!!!! I'm also going to be setting up an automated curing system this week, I'll have pictures up next week.

There asking for more water now. I was feeding 250ml every 3rd day as seedlings now I will up it to 350ml every watering until they need more.

Hi everyone :-) This week a lot of nice things happened in the flower tent :-) Everyone looks super nice, and is growing stronger and more beautiful week by week 😍👌. The blue cheese smells like a dream ;-) As usual from this variety 👍. The kosher tangie is also very, very tasty 👏🏻. Both got Pk 13/14 this week for the last time :-) Everyone else is developing very well 👍, That will be the last diary with several strains together :-) In future everyone will come individually 👌. I wish you a lot of fun with the videos, have a nice weekend, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

The flowering of White Widow has finally come at the interesting moment. We started the Flush and it is beginning to show all its beauty, the characteristic white coat that gives its name is clearly visible. Great beautiful plant, the Classics never betray
