As said before, I'm incredibly happy that I got to harvest a little bit. Never expected her to make it, but she kind off did! The smell was pungent and sweet like an amnesia haze should be, hoping that will be even better after drying and curing!

Another week passes and she is looking good... I have absolutely no idea what strain she is but she does smell good... Hopefully, it's not a cbd plant lol .. happy growing and thank you all for stopping by.. God bless and happy growing ✌️

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

The pictures speaking for themselves...added some plants that would go to seed after being cross bred with Khalifa Kush. This week onward the girls would be fed black strap molasses for taste and big bud.

Hello everyone, These girls are doing good, getting bushier and they have a way better smell than last year, Im waiting till the pistles get longer so I can take one and cross breed her for next season, lets see how it goes... See you guys next week🤘🤘👊👊👊

Strawberry Pie Autoflower Week 8 Buds and sugar leaves are starting to get frosty. Had a slight ph issue, but she seems to be doing okay still. HalloWeed times!

Week 5 I believe and they’re doing great..topped them lil over a week ago. Thinking another week or two then flip to flower! 😎

En esta semana 12 de floracion hemos bajado los niveles de ppm y de ph... no estan en los valores mas optimos pero han bajado considerablemente. A causa de los valores altos, he leido que muchas veces las hojas se quiebran con gran facilidad y lo pude comprobar, en las fotos se pueden ver algunas hojas asi. Los nutrientes en los riegos han sido los valores minimos, esto fue un experimento ya que no quiero seguir sobrefertilizandola, quedan las ultimas semanas y no quiero hechar a perder todo el esfuerzo y tiempo que le dedico a ella. Varias hojas se han ido poniendo amarillas al punto de caerse, los pistillos se han empezado a oxidar, todos sintomas de que estamos llegando a la parte final del ciclo. (Esta semana por falta de tiempo quizas no he sido tan dedicado a la hora de tomar fotos,y tal vez el diario de esta semana se ve un poco desprolijo, espero sepan entender) :-)

They’re looking extremely healthy..gave em their first nute feed with the last watering seem to be doing fairly well..fimmed the GG and LST. Did not touch the unkown as it looks smaller to be the same age. Running GHE base line with few extra supplements. ****UPDATE**** Both are LST’d..might rethink the way I tie them. Going for a “coil” type look, we’ll see though. They’re looking great! Hoping for females!

Hi Guys! I hope you are OK. First of all, I want to say thank you to Royal Queen Seeds and Original Sensible Seeds....  It is a sponsored diary by Royal Queen Seeds and Original Sensible Seeds. Thanks for all the seeds and packages. ;) Please guys go and check them out www.royalqueenseeds.com ; www.originalsensible.com  and get some nice strain ;) Thanks! Regards. 7th of September 2020: Seeds are in the water. Gelato from Original Sensible Seeds straight submerged 😳 9th of September: All good tap root is out some of them will be planted earlier because the root is coming faster and they will be in the mini pot first :) So-Si-Dos OG and Gelato from Original Senisble Seeds are planted in the mini pot tap root was perfect long. Runtz Gum also woth today. Two of them left so I will check out tonight :) End of the day I planted Black Ghost and Wedding Gelato as well. All of them planted now we just have to wait them to be out 🤪 Day 2: All of them out ❤️ Day 3: Opening up :)

Week 7 begins. Removed some dead leaves and big leaves that were blocking light to the lower parts of the plant. Buds are big, white and frosty! Very happy with the plants development up to this point.

with one plant turning out a lowrider some excessive defoil plus topping was needed for the other plants to keep the light on her. changed the alignment of some of the plants, started roughly feeding every plant 0.3 to 0.4l water, daily flooding the pot with 5l water over the day, every two days I added some German homebrew fertilizer npk 7+5+6

Hiiigh friends 🙌 Welcome to week 4. 😍 They have grown well in size and the one on the far left has overtaken her two sisters although she shows signs of a deficiency. 😊 I have noticed a calcium magnesium deficiency because I only water with osmosis water. What to you think? See you next week. 👋 Arturo for KannaKullektiv 🙏

Still sticking to the same "flower" feed I've been holding in. I will probably chop these in different times. But they are all starting to look GREAT! You can tell my friend the defoliator stopped by! He really got em looking good! ____________________________________________________________ Ok up until now I've been a bit pessimistic about this grow. But they are all finally well in bloom and looking at them one-on-one its impossible not to love them. They are all VERY individual grows, but they have BEAUTIFUL nugs forming up on ALL plants!!! As a bonus, I checked the top dog and she's ready for the chop! I gave her a bit of RIPEN with this feed and I'll probably take her down this weekend and wait for the others to finish. ___________________________________________________________ These plants are finishing very nicely! I'm getting pretty happy as they near the finish line. Def gonna take down 1 plant in a day or two, possibly two! _____________________________________________________________ Really I feel like things are ahead of schedule. I never intended to be done on week 9. I decided to do one more feed as the ripen seems to be giving them a very nice fade! The slow pokes are gaining on the finished plants and i'm hoping they are only about a week behind. But again there isnt a rush to finish. One benifit to this big flower tent is i think I can still continue to cycle the tents even if a couple plants need to chill a bit longer. We'll see what happens next week

2nd Germination Week. Using Lotus Nutrients 3.6g inside bottle of water and started off with a clear plastic cup and later on got the red cup to protect the roots. Out of curiosity to see how the roots performs in clear cups other than that. When I transplant that going to begin 1st Veg Week. Stay tune … my goals is to Veg out longer in 3 gallons now that I’m working with 6 versus 12… and I’ll have more focus and hand management room to get in and around to work … scrogging is going to be the method as well LST .

All in can say is big Bigger Aptus @aptusholland 🤝🌱💚 gang gang 🌱

Day 63 - both ladies are getting fat. Seed 2 is growing a bit faster and will be harvested in max 3 weeks time from this week. The buds are looking frosty and the smell is great 😃
