Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) – Daily Tasks Evening (Lights On) Check environment (temp 24–27°C, RH 55–60%). Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies. Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K. Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans). Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites). Check for early signs of stretch finishing. Evening (Before Lights Off) Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period. 👉 In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites. Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.

3 bpp been in dark period for 3 days last week to try and push out bit more resin and thc , heard it can slightly increase both by stressing the plant of light in final stage before chop. So she is all Flushed, chopped and drying this week 👌😎🔥🔥🔥 Finally 2 more on Overdrive 2ml pl and next onto the flushing. Had to tie 1 plant to the tent because of the weight of colas. The plant literally looked like it was on drugs doing a full curve lol and about to snap! Will be flushing this week Other big bpp in 7 gallon is still going mad! Hench nuggies and smells amazing! 🙌 Waiting now for the leaves to turn yellow and then we're into flushing stage ....for a second time. Update 29/01/25 Drying tent has been at around 65-68 humidity and 20degrees I've taken most big leaves of now and left buds covered abit with small leaves for abit of protection and slow the drying down abit. Aiming for 7-10 days slow as possible for best results and retain the weight! So tempted to try one now but it Will ruin it Not long now 💨💨💨

For the first time I cut the leaves, for more extensive illumination of the upper part, due to the close location of the light of the plant, the trunk trunk grows and does not stretch upwards, I want to cover the entire area of ??the pot with one layer then start the flowering stage at 6-7 weeks I didn’t cut the leaves, but simply pressed them to the ground, since this is my first experience, I think that everything is going well, the plant eats a lot of nutrient fertilizers and looks good as you can see, the temperature in the box exceeds 27 degrees and it seems to her that temper tsya. in many of the moments, I would like to express a special thanks to such a cool grower like ctm_dzagi! Looking at his works of past cycles, I learned a lot and continue to learn, his technique and approach is great! Well, we are waiting for the fifth week)) Let's go!

📅 Week 11 | 🗓️ Day 71–77 — 3rd week of flowering Biscotti Gelato 🍪🍨 – elegant, fragrant, stacking and frosting up beautifully 🔸 The stretch has clearly settled — she’s holding a sturdy, balanced canopy with strong verticals and consistent cola height. Buds are now clearly formed clusters, each topped with thick tufts of bright white pistils. Calyxes are beginning to swell and stack neatly, and there’s a noticeable layer of early trichome sparkle spreading over the sugar leaves. 🔸 The foliage remains deep, lush green, with broad, slightly glossy leaves showing no signs of stress. The overall posture is confident and vigorous — she’s thriving in her rhythm. Those slightly purple petioles add a nice touch of personality under the lights. 🔸 Watering & care: Keeping the same steady routine — moist but not soaked, around 30% soil moisture before watering. Airflow through the canopy looks solid, and humidity is still in a safe zone for mid-flower. I'm still at half the amount specified for fertilizer. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️ Day: 27 °C 🌡️ Night: 18 °C 💨 Humidity: 59 % 🔦 PPFD: 800–900 µmol (12/12 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup 💡 Cosmos 200 W ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients ≈ ½ of the schedule) 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Day 50 - New week and the plant looks great.I have been thinking about cutting off stems and leaves to help the growth will check with community later. Day 51 - The plant was watered today and i also defoliated the plant ( i think thats how you say it) so it can grow stronger and get bigger buds. Day 52 - I tied the plant down again in a different position just to spread it out so everyone gets equal opportunity lighting. I checked the amount of water the plant uses and she is nearly dry again so tomorrow  i have to water her again with bloom chemicals. Day 53 - She looks fine today Day 54 - The plant doesn't look well i don't know why, I've given it bloom nutrients today and i hope it helps her to look better tomorrow. Day 55 - The plant looks better today and she is drinking a lot of water as she seems a little dry. Day 56 - The plant looks fine for now.

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 🌿💚 Die kleinen Äffchen wachsen prächtig! 🌄🐒 Ab jetzt habe ich die Diaries afgesplittet. Einmal hier im gesponserten Bio Tabs NL Grow, von denen diese Woche der Orgatrex Dünger zum Einsatz kam. Der andere Grow wird mit Weedefix gedüngt, welche im Prinzip sehr ähnlich funktionieren. Für den ultimativen Vergleich kommen bald noch zwei neue Diaries mit zwei identischen Stecklingen um genau zu beobachten wie was performed. Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich super gut und sind sehr robust. Die Seitentriebe bilden sich immer weiter aus. Die Blattform ist schön Breit und Buschig. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aktuell gut: ————— 🌞 Temp: 24 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 58% VPD: 0,91 kPa 💡ppfd: 330 mpm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

Day 28: Having sorted the over filling issue of the res and now the roots of GG#4 and ghost can breath again !, we have had a good progression this week. Wedding cake is covered with buds after the strip out of her larf and popcorn finally. I scrapped a lot of small budlets in the process but she has rewarded me with some great bud building for it. She is beginning to smell a little now and has a sweet smell to her. Nice and sticky feel to her leaves now too. Black Ghost OG is up for it now with some nice bud forming this week . her fat stems could hold a good sized bud so hopefully she will use it. Gorilla Glue#4 has been a must grow for a long time fornme but I have gotten sidetracked with lots of variety and done strains with it in their somewhere. I am now so stoked to have an original GG#4 to test against the cousins , distant cousins and cousins twice removed. !!!. She is growing so well now and getting g a nice colour back into her leaves. She is covered in tall trichrome build up on her sugar leaves already amd had me trying to focus my camera as it looked out of focus due to them !!!!.She is turning into the lady i so wanted an evening with all that time. Overall a great week for sertingnher stacking nodes for the final 5 weeks fattening and swelling. Be safe folks. peace and love Growmies.

1/31/26-7am Not much to do this morning except to record data & water. Next week we will begin the real fun stuff. We definitely have two distinct expressions, which is exciting. Cover crop emerging. Plants received their first full watering since transplant. Hand watered the perimeter of each container with a full 1/2 gallon of plain 6.5ph 11ppm plain water, mixed with 1/2 tsp each of Recharge, aloe powder & coconut water powder. Tray2Grow will be activated Sunday morning, & that will begin the cycle of Sunday through Wednesday evening Tray2Grow irrigation, with Wednesday evening & Saturday morning hand watering. Tray2Grow will deactivate Wednesday evening to Sunday morning. Leaf Temp Differential -2°F DLI raised to 25 VPD raised to 0.85 -Expression #1- Height-4" Width-9.5"×8.5" -Expression #2- Height-4.5 Width-7"×6"

Been wanting to try out this auto ghost og from original sensible seeds for a while and finally got the opportunity to get one wet. I originally started this setup to compete in the solo cup challenge, but I needed something that will be minimal maintainence and doesn't require hand watering. So this is what I ended up with. I will not be entering since I know it will bring controversy, but I am going to follow the rules and treat this grow as if I am competing. I didn't want to use regular solo cups because last time I had a lot of algae growing in the root zone when I harvested. I opted to use a black light proof cup. These cups were 27 oz originally so I filled them with 16 oz of water, marked the level, then cut them down to 16 oz. I set the drain pipes about an inch from the bottom so they have a little reserve if I have pump or power issues. I know people will see the drains as a way for roots to grow out of the cup but in reality I have to keep the entire pipe free of roots or it will clog and overflow. So I am actually losing a little volume due to this. I filled the bottom inch or so of the cups with river gravel to stop the perlite from washing into the reservoir. I am running a 5 gallon reservoir with a small air pump and the plants will be getting irritated 24 hours a day from an aquarium power head pump. I set the system up to be totally self contained and easily portable. It was all built from things I had laying around other than 97¢ for the cups. I will be keeping the feed simple as always feeding maxigro and maxibloom with a couple flower boosters.

Day 64. Girls are just brilliant !!! Smell, view - pure joy ! Both fades nicely and i would love to push them two more weeks, but i think i gave last watering and this Wednesday they are chopped, but maybe ... ;))) Day 66. Last light and last photoshoot, nothing to add, they are - Beauties !!! Smell is driving me nuts ;))) Even with carbon filters you can easy smell them 10-20 meters away. Had to order more powerfull and bigger ones ;))) All remaining updates will be in harvest week. 24 hours of darkness and Chop Day !!! P.S. sorry for off-focus, my cam is still faulty ...

03/05/2021 Beginning of week 4 looking good, I think she will start flowering in week 5-6, so I might top her, she is growing fast so I hope it will not harm flowering time. Ps. I did top And 24 hours later I can see all is well, where I topped her is healing, and side branches responding! I know she will be ready for flowering. Check out video and see.

This Diary contains one of Katsu Bluebird's Most Exciting breeding Projects; Grape Ape Cake ! Lineage; Hotcakes (Katsu Bubba X Burnt Toast from Raw Genetics) X Grape Ape Welcome to Week Seven, our last Veg Entry These Girls loved the topping last week.. & didn't really miss a beat as far as growth is concerned, a minor delay but still cracked an inch worth of height gained this week. As most seam to have a very tight growth pattern I honestly think they're going to be monsterous tower's in the coming weeks. with that in mind I gave everyone a good leg shave to increase those chances. Also The Frist trellis is up ! after talking with Katsu about how much he thinks this particular strain may stretch.. i've decided to hang 2 lines of support across these girls. this first being right as we move into FLOWER ! teh second line will go up one the stretch stops..(week3-4 maybe we will see) With that being said, after a slight flush @6.6ph Water, & 24 Hours of darkness happening as I type this entry.. They will receive their first Flower Feeding in the Morning! & the next entry will be our first week of flower ! It is always a blast working from a pack of Reg Seed, let alone an Exciting project like these Katsu beans ! and as we move into flower next week I've taken cuts that I'm hopeful will ensure I have the BEST of the Best Flowers from this run to keep for another run at least.. and maybe even outdoor 2021. Thanks for Reading This far 🙌 If you have a question or a comment leave it down below otherwise, I Hope You Check in Next Week, Stay Safe out there & Happy Gardening Cariboo

Day 31 / 01.05. The Plants really have taken off with growth since I turned on the autopot system, even the Super Lemon Haze which seemed to be growing quite slow in the beginning. I filled the reservoir on day 28 with an EC of 1.7 mS/cm. Currently I am fighting a bit with the humidity as it tends to rise quite a bit.

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower the Cal mag has made absolutely no difference too the yellow colour of this blackberry so I suspect it is just how this strain is as meany diary's on here of the same strain are also on the yellow side , but it's certainly not affecting the speed of the growth of her , i also bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , I accidentally bend the main stem last week while I was putting them under the netting too try and control the stretch , luckily it did not crack or snap the branch at all and she didn't droop on that branch at all and has healed already , it may or may not be related but as soon as it happened the side branches thickened up too the thickness of the main stem , this plant has over taken the rest in size even being a full week too 15 days younger , it's certainly not ideal but it really does not appear too have slowed down the growth and may well go in my favour , this lady really did stretch out from week 4 into 5 and is showing no sign of slowing down , her side branches are very thick almost as thick as the main stem , her leaf production was minimal and I have only had too remove very few too expose the bud sites , the yellowing seems too be recovering now and most of the plant is green now , Update , Now gone a lush green colour instead of that horrible yellow , and the buds have already started too purple , she has also stepped up a gear with her nutrient intake almost drinking 6 pints since Thursday , She seems too have slowed down on the stretch and has so meany bud site scattered all over her with as the diary name suggests black roses everywhere , and note too any seed banks reading this if there is not a purple stain out there already called black rose now is your chance lol and Iwant a sample pack first kinda like the tester :) Now defoliation , as you can see they really didn't seem too mind at all being stripped and within a couple of days they had all replenished the lost leaves and even this week olive had to pull the odd few off as they have grown out , Method , well all info now is simple , Anything I cannot tuck under something that is blocking a bid site with shade I remove too middle or bottom , Everything else stays , I just stand above the plant and pull off anything covering the sites , it's really as simple as that , I see some strip them until there is nothing left on but a few sugar leaves , but for me didn't like the look of the plants , for me the growing process is just as much fun as the fruits ,
