Flowering Week 25: Structural Support & Purple Progress Update: 29.08.2025 | Day 17 Hey Growmies, Week 25 brought some clarity – and a little intervention. Remember those yellow leaves up top I mentioned last week? Lower leaves were totally fine, so I knew it wasn’t nitrogen. I posted pics and you guys came through – most of you called it: lack of potassium and phosphorus. So, I did something I rarely do: gave the ladies a mild dose of mineral fertilizer. Mixed a 2L bottle with normal dosage into a 10L watering can filled with rainwater, then split it evenly between both plants. It felt like a small gamble, but sometimes you gotta trust the process – and the community. I didn't want to spend money on organic fertilizers as long as the Tripart bottles are still full from last year. Biggest lesson this year? My compost needs more power. Next season, I’m amping it up with extra horse or pigeon manure to keep those nutrients steady deeper into flower. Strain Check Durban Poison: This girl’s gettin’ heavy. I’m constantly tying branches to my support structure to keep ‘em from snapping. She’s bulking up nicely, and the colors keep deepening into that gorgeous purple she’s becoming known for. The smell? Still pretty moderate – not overpowering yet, which is kinda surprising. Still not seeing much resin on the sugar leaves, but she’s a beauty through and through. Blueberry: She’s still reaching for the sky – definitely wants to be the tallest girl in the garden. Bud sites are becoming more defined now, and she’s slowly starting to form proper buds. Her colors are even more striking than Durban’s, deep and vibrant. Still no real smell to speak of, though. I’m thinking she’ll need until at least the first week of October to fully finish up. Next Steps - Keep a close eye on how they respond to the mild dose of mineral fertilizer - Stay vigilant for pests – especially as buds develop further - Check daily for branches that need extra support and tie them up as needed That’s it for this week, folks. Catch y’all next time. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

01 Jul 2021 The harvest for my first plant is all done and documented! Yea!! My Blueberry Muffin looks fabulous. Her buds are starting to get frosty and grow, grow, grow! She looks great, and she’s still doing a little bit of a stretch, but it’s slowing down some. She’s still way bigger than her tent mate (Blue Ox), but still way smaller than my first plant. I have a feeling that if she doesn’t produce a lot, it will be my fault since I haven’t been giving her as much care as she really needs. I’m going out of town for the holiday weekend, so maybe they’re used to going without long enough that there won’t be any issue. I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞just in case. In feeding, I’m sticking with the Mid-Bloom stage for at least another week, then maybe I’ll adjust them some. Today I gave CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml mixed into a gallon of water chilled to 42.2F. The initial pH was 6.6 and didn’t require adjustment. The TDS going in was 842 ppm. Runoff pH was 6.1 (better than the last time), and TDS runoff was 2548 ppm. We’ve been having a heat wave here, so the temp is creeping up in the grow tent. Today it was 86F, and the humidity was 48%. 03 Jul 2021 My Lady is looking lovely today! I can see by looking at her HST branches that she’s still into the stretch just a little bit because they have increased in height since the other day when I first made a mental note of how they were lying on the top of my support net. Today they are resting about 2 inches above it. Now that growth has been since I put her in the big tent with the net of course, so that was on the 30th just a few short days ago. Some of her leaves are showing some issues, but just on the side with the rotating fan. I’m wondering if it could be drying them out some, and not a deficiency because there are no other issues anywhere on the plant. The same goes for her tent mate, so by rule of deduction it has to be the fan. Maybe I’ll lower the power a bit when I get back? I’m going to be gone for a few days and I don’t want them to get too hot in case the heat wave doesn’t let up. I received one of the new nutrient supplements I ordered and started using it today with the nutrients already in use. Today I fed a gallon of water from the tap. Due to time constraints I didn’t chill it. I fed CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraBloom 15ml, and started Floralicious Plus 1ml. The initial pH was 6.3 and was not adjusted. The TDS going in was 1242 ppm. The runoff pH was 5.9, and TDS runoff was 2777 ppm. The tent temperature was 79F, and humidity was 53%. Hopefully the Liquid Kool Bloom will have arrived by the time I get back!

End of week 4 and all is going well, had a slight calcium issue on a couple of leaves, but it was corrected and all is good again. This girl is responding well to the nutes, but my run-off is getting a little high, that should change when I cut out the Flora Micro and just feed calmag, Dnectar and KoolBoom for the next couple of weeks. Any comments or suggestions? Wish me luck.... just a few weeks to harvest now.

Training again. I spread out all side branches so the plant will now collect about 4 square metres of sun. It looks pretty crazy with central branches 6 ft up and side branches flat to each side. Did some defoliation as well. Still very healthy but I had to go through carefully to remove some annoying inch worms.

Very straight forward week in terms of progress. All the secondary lines of the Dominican Republic strain were trimmed, and the plants were foliar fed for the first three days. As an additional note I switched to red and blue light to prepare them for flower.

The tops on these girls are getting so heavy and the smell is crazy lemony and piney so strong it smells like your smoking a joint right at the window all the time even with my carbon filter. I'll be breeding with this lemon skunk strain in my next grow. Stay tuned for new genetics and making my own genetics going to be running chemo,blueberry,m39gdp,gg4 and will be crossing with the lemon skunk pollen fingers crossed 🤞🙏

First week of flowering. The plant will stretch, so i adjusted the LED dimmer to 100%. Did a good defoliation too. Doing good, very healthy big plant. It grew a lot of ramifications.

She grows nice and quick if you Treat her well! I transplanted and made a couple mistakes so she didn’t reach 100% imo but it’s still a nice turn out! Hadn’t she not gotten pollinated I think the yield would’ve been more! Oh well still not a bad turnout will compare her to my other cut of this strain I have finishing up! Check it out, thanks for reading

Day 10: They have been growing nicely. Beautifull green leafs, no deficiencies or stress. I did some Defoliation and I'm planning to top some plants but not all of them since they make nice main colas as well. Also nice roots so far, will let those grow for another 1-3 days before repotting them into 7L pots. While doing that I will add some new clay for beneeth the pots to have a good run-off. I will add some mycorizza as well to improve the roots and I will water them again with lots of Regulator(anti-stress) and Rhyzotonic( root stimilator). Some days after that, they are ready to get pushed into flowering. Sativas like to grow twice and sometimes even more in size. So the size which they are at the end of this week will be enough. So at the end of this week you will see them being in 7L pots and in a bigger grow space under lots of lamps. There are like 3-5 plants not growing nicely. Might have to kill them. I'm not going to waste time,energy,nutrients on those if they don't grow in size in a couple of days. So might end up with just 235 plants. Il update again at the end of this week. Day 14: I almost finished the rest of the grow room. I still need to adjust and replace the lamps some more and other things. Did many defoliation below the plants. Thoose branches are never going to preduce nice and thick buds anyways. Such a waste of energy and nutrients. Because of the removing of branches and leafs, They get a better airflow and better exposure of light as well. So for now they look a little bit ugly haha and not so bushy anymore, but they will grow into fine looking ladies. I kept 5 or 7 branches each plant and some bigger plants I even topped because I don't want them to stretch alot. Another reason is that I want bigger stems. If other plants that didnt get topped, not improving stems I can still top them until the end of week 1 of flowering. I'm putting them into flowering, by putting the lightschedule to 12hours of light and darkness. It will take a few days before they start preflowering. The first buds will be seen in like 10-14 days. Untill next week!

I mean, overall this was an extremely painless grow. The test of whether we should or shouldn't top autos is still TBD imo. Our topped candidate produced denser, frostier buds, but weighed slightly less, at 14 grams of bud total. And our lst plant produced 18 grams of bud, not as frosty, and almost as dense as our topped girl. I'll be topping autoflowers from here on out only under the circumstance I have 4+ to grow at the same time. Seems like it could be used to speed up the autoflower grow cycle if done properly, like with right. Since I'm doing a perpetual cycle, it's still a viable option for me in the long run. A few tips I have for anyone growing this strain in organics: Start feeding bloom nutes a little bit prior to flower transition - this makes the transition more seemless. From weeks 1-3 flower, I slowly dropped the grow dosage until I cut off grow nutes week 3 flower. Starting the flush around week 6 flower seemed to really bring out this plant's potential. But I think you could get away with starting the flush around week 5. I hope this helps anyone trying this strain out. It's a good one, I hope to see more journals of it, eventually. Cheers everyone! Time for me to take a well-deserved puff. :) ☁️ 🌼

After two more failed attempts to germinate another "anonymous", I decided to germinate a Sour Strawberry, which popped and started growing. It was now about 4 weeks behind the other plants, which had me somewhat worried, because of the limited tent space, and the AutoPots, which I can not turn on for a while now. I also topped GMO and Glookies.
