Would see this weed only in top coffeeshops now I have my own top shelf buds incredible plant from seed to smoke smell fenomanal smokes amazing

New tent + new light (not install on this session)

Buds are full and beautiful a little bit dark purple color.Waiting for drying. Wet buds with stems are 450gr. Will update effect and weight after drying.

Week 2 done. She is the only one that hasn't fell over. Her stem looks the thickest of all her tentmates. She also grew the most in height this week.

Ahoi and welcome, this week I had to find my way around the results of Mango being caugth and tightened into the net. Light management became an issue: for the first time I saw how the high light intensity at Mango's sturdy 82cm side colas almost singed off pistils (with light, not heat). Those nodes decided to become the new main colas, after the central cola lost it's top canopy spot. The cola that almost broke off is still fixed in the center of the tent, and as a result, is getting light blasted at it. 😬 I build it a little personal Cloud directly over her central colas to achieve some spot PPFD scattering, which has helped me in the past. Image will be in next weeks update. SJ (69cm final height after training) and Headbanger (59cm final height after training) were, on top of that, -underlit-. I probably lost a good 6 days to underfeeding them with light, and after my adjustments they are still not quite where they would like to be. I used my undercanopy-lights to install a vertical light bar at the entrance, to help out Headbanger directly and provide some angled light into Mango's bushy structure. I used the other bar and installed that horizontally over SJ & Headbanger at an angle, so not much of it will hit Mango. I feel like ripping out my entire scrog-setup and structuring everything out anew, but yeah, damage and intense stress during peak flower production would probably result in a worse outcome for the 4 of us. Next time, I will have to plan my tent layout and light setup better, so I can account for these massive height differences without burning plants. For now, the tent seems at peace. Plants have finalized their structure, and the result of the missing light is unfortunately largely visible in thick, deep green leaves, ready to photosynthesize, but really just sitting there, praying oftentimes, in a resource vs energy uptake stale-mate. The tally count becomes high for Headbanger: Underwatering during veg, VPD issues during early nights + training stress already made her decide to flower fast. The relative low-light environment now reduced the total capability of the plant directly, as all other protocols provide nearly adequate baselines. But hey - what we know - we know. The nug is from 👽 Alien VS Triangle I mentioned last week, bottom canopy position, monoterpene focus plant (reduced capacity for sesqueterpene building) - I collect these low hanging fruits separately, when in need of something that hits right but also keeps me as active as a bee if needed. Downside? Need different strain for sedating properties, but those juicy main colas curing for ~9 weeks now will help with that just a little. To me it smells like a syrupy wash involving several forest berries, sometimes a redcurrant top-note releases as well. As it cured it definitely brought home it's underlying herbal body, gaining in complexity but still leaving the stage clear for the berry top-notes, that are converting more and more into their floral counterparts. I swear I detect sweet marmelade from the bag itself after this time, but that is not detectable in the nugs themselves. See ya next week!

So far so good. A little discoloration in a few leaves. Bud sites forming. Weird weather we've been having and temps in the box jumped up into the 90's. That being said I went ahead and made the switch to LED. Wish I would have switched sooner. Temps fell almost 20F. Sure some has to so with the outside temps dropping back down but this thing runs so cool. Great light penetration but not sure if the intensity is enough. Time will tell. She pretty much stopped eating and drinking. I read that prior to flowering they will slow down overall uptake and slow down growth as well. I don't quite remember that from my last grow but I do remember there being a huge flowering stretch. I'm switching over to bloom nutes next week after a flush so hopefully she'll get the nutes she needs/wants.

Start of week 2flower buds forming nicely will update at end of week Updated 4th July 2020 really bouncing back after pH corrected

The plants are growing at a good rate now and drinking a litre each per day. I feed them by hand and each plant gets 2litres every other day. Didn't do anything else this week other than install the trellis on the last day. This plant is on the laft in the timelapse video.

11March (VegDay24) Start of week 4 of Veg and with some minor defoliation on both girls, going to stabilize PH at 5.8/6.0 in the coming days. the girls are having 1lt each every 24h RR1 looks like she could do some more so I will start doing 1.2lt for her and keep RR2 at 1lt. 12March (vegDay25) Din some more LST on RR1 and took off 2 big fan leaves also RR2 have some more LST and small defoliation. 13March (vegDay26) increased watering for RR1 to1.5lt also increase nuts and stabilized PH at 6. 14March (vegday27) increased amount of water for both girls today and got a decent amount of runoff! slightly increased a bit more the nuts for one last time before the addition of bloom nuts end of this week. both girls continue to stretch and look healthy. RR1 50cm+3cm RR2 41cm+7cm 15March (Vegday28) as of today, bud candy of AN is part of the team as from now PH is steady and plats look amazing! 17March start of pre-flowering both girls have heavy signs of buds, will mix both grow and bloom nut as from this feed.

4/15/25 Things are progressing nicely. Some plants dont seem to be doing too much but 3 of them or so that are really standing out. Im curious if some of these are going to be longer flowering time than anticipated with the very obvious sativa dominant plants.

Nothing much, now the flowering started I've changed from P20 phosphore to pk13/14 ~ 2 ml a liter.

Week 6 is in the books and it was another great one. Both plants are finishing stretch and building budlets. Still super green and healthy tho there are a few signs of some heat stress. Nothing worrying at all yet, after the heat that everyone really has been dealing with it’s not surprising to see a few leaves a bit roughed up. I went out of town for a few days and while I did have someone able to cover most of the feed/waterings the gals did go a day and a half without any. No biggie tho, they’re shrugging it off and just rocking along! Beefy burly plants here, and I’m guessing anywhere from 4-6 weeks to the finish line.

11/30: I fed them today and supercropped the taller one a little bit. Just trying to encourage her lowers to compete for apical dominance. I raised the lights another few inches 12/1: I raised the lights about a foot because of a couple of taller plants, so these girls and most of the others are on a platform so as to be within 15 inches of the lights. Their platforms are some of the shortest, and I think they're about to catch up with the others.👍 12/2: Busy with life...didn't do much. Very cold days, so the high temp in the closet was 72f today👈 12/4: Switched to 13/11....afraid of it taking too long to flower and ending up with a bunch of pain in the ass 5-footers..

Tannin Trail Swag

I chopped. Fuck it. I need some more energetic high as well. When I was chopping I compare it next to fat banana. Defo clear trichioms and Fat Banana was all cloudy. Let the dry-period begin. I put that bitch inside dehydrator for few hours. Crispy buds, maybe little over-do but damn that smoke is sooooooooooo smooth, the high is soooooooo gooood. I put it inside the jar, will update on smell and taste in next few weeks. Day 5/6 curing? That shit is so good it's almost gone! The high is 50/10. 1g of that stuff makes me more high then 5g of stuff you have to pay 60 euro for. Creamy buttery vapor like freaking French toast with real butter or like croissant but without anything, just plain croissant but not the shitty one, the best one. Jesus... that weed is just too good, I have no idea why it turns like that. I thought Fat Banan gonna be bombastic but Critical turns out to be winner.

Beginning of the 10th week of flower. Shouldn’t be too much longer now. I will add some bud and trich pictures this week.

Some mild defoliation this week. Budding up nicely and starting to frost. This girl was having a foliar feed of algae last week but this week she's getting light foliar sprays of the Lacalva stress treatment from madame grow on top of her other feed. I'll do this every 2/3 mornings and I'll only lightly mist the top. I'll concentrate most of my foliar feed on the lower growth and undersides, away from the buds. This is the main reason I kept so many lower fan leaves this time.
