Now 48h in the darkroom

Well The stretch has begun, I got one Lady boy in the mix not sure how it happened. see the week 6 time-lapse plants look good lollopped the bottom 3rd of all of them and gave them their early flower feeding week 2 per the Emerald Harvest booklet. So will this Hermie produce Feminized pollen ? looking for some feedback from ya all. or should I pull it from the garden before it shoots its wad? let me know.

Since last week she begun changing leaf colors (as finally some "cold" arrived). Still can only find very few amber trichs, and white pistils are still majority and erect, but dont know if it is lack of maturity or strain genetics at play... might hold the knife for a few days still... how long would you say she has ?

Getting near the end. BB2 and GG2 showing mostly milky/ cloudy trichomes with some amber. These two showed the deficiencies and have been flushed on day 76. One more flush and they will be harvested first. BB1 and GG1 look to be about a week later.

Die erste Blütewoche startet. Eigentlich wollte ich vor Einleitung der Blüte alle Männchen aussortieren, aber der Plan hat sich wie so oft geändert. Zum Ende der Woche habe ich 7 Männchen aussortiert, es bleiben also 6 Weibchen. Ich habe versucht die entstandenen Lücken aufzufüllen. Es sind 3x Red Mandarine dazugekommen. Leider musste ich die Wurzelballen "anpassen" damit alles passt - mal schauen ob sie den Stress verkraften.

Day 29: LST is done. I set the lamp approx 36 cm away. BlackBerry Kush, LSD-25 started flowering. All of them are OK started growing rapidly. 600W LED, 20 hours on 4 hours off the same with ventilation. Water intake: 75 ml per plant plus triggering, humidity around 60 percent. Fertilization is on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with BioBizz family, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday bat guano and Epsom salt. Day 30: I did LST again. I didn't have enough elastic band yesterday so I bought today and bent them better. I also set the lamp closer approx 34 cm. Day 31: I did LST yesterday and bent them. They already "lifted up" their heads toward the lamp. As they grow I will keep bending the main stalk and the side ones. I will try to create a spiral form and spread the plants with time. Day 32: Most of them started flowering except Colorado Cookies. BlackBerry Kush aggressively started floweing. This plant is very strong and aggressive. Day 35: pre flowers nicely coming along.... Balckbeery Kush and LSD-25 are the quickest. I changed the lamp as it is now really good.... so I placed an other 600W lamp there. I will swap these lamps one week here other week there. I will change that lamp after harvest. End of the week the tallest is BlackBerry Kush with approx 25 cm (I bent them so can't give perfect measurement) and the shortest plant is approx 18 cm.

- June 25 - Day 16 - Today she will be topped. Watered with 800 ml of water and about 1.5 ml of Bio-Grow. -

Day 43 - 12/12 flip day. Screen already getting unruly so going for the flip. That much green in there, I'll have difficulty working out what to do with it soon so its time for Autumn to hit!!! I know people have all different methods and this and that but just going straight into the 12/12 with the bloom feeds (Samuari has quite a bit of N in it still during bloom phase so should be less of a nute shock). Also trying some mineral water in there....@£1.10 for 5L (50L tank), hopefully less chlorine in there until I get some Ecothrive Neuteralise in there to keep the bennies safe! :) Changed over to the Sylvania Dual Spec HPS so hopefully the blue in there keeps the stretch somewhat limited (again, have saw people use MH for the 1st week or 2 to keep the plants down) but these girls are stumpy...no real vegging height to them and hopefully the screen adds to that. Per seeds description, max height should be 90-100cm so hopefully all stays like that. Now just to keep on top of the tucking and canopy management. Still betwixt and between if I'll lollipop/defoliate as the bottom leaves are a good source of feed (3 weeks still to consider) as I have to add humidity to the tent...it would sit round 35-40 in general under lights so not overly worried about mold environment plus have another fan I can get under the canopy for further air movement. Will add photos later, enjoy the time lapse of last week and happy growing all.

used my own fish shit to do a massive watering of nutrients and microbes into the soil. added some more power bloom because I ran out of stepwell bloom amendments. should have some in next week. they are looking like they are 3 weeks into flower at week 2. grow fam, love ya!

7/19 I’ve come upon the realize that I had been under watering to an extreme degree. I have since adjusted accordingly today and hope they look better tomorrow. Did remove some leaves and then found out I really shouldn’t have, hopefully I didn’t stunt them.i believe they are now flowering and next watering I will be adding some tiger bloom at very low strength. the newts I’ve given them have shown tip nute burn often and I have been very minimally watering so my conclusion is my soil was so full of nutes I could have waited until now most likely to start my first feedings. I’ve read about this and w ocean forest this seems to be the trend. Still really happy about the progress. Peace

Repotted into fresh soil so I gave less nutrients. Previous 2 feedings were 700ppm (200ppm tap water) Looking good! Healthy green although not visible in LED. Will try to take some good pictures later. Pretty heavy LST, trying to keep it low. Main cola was fimmed and the other big colas were topped. I hope to fill the tent with one plant

The Ethos photos have been flipped to flower a week or so ago. Took 12 clones. Gsc Auto will be ready to harvest this week. Others still have a few weeks.

Harvest day has finally arrived ✂️❄️ After weeks of checking trichomes, watching pistils darken, and waiting through one of the longest flowering periods I’ve had so far, the moment is finally here. These plants really tested my patience, but seeing the dense purple flowers completely covered in frost made every extra day worth it. The tent smells absolutely insane right now — sweet, gassy, and loud enough to fill the whole room the second the zipper opens. Looking back at the whole run, it’s crazy how much changed from early veg to these fully ripened colas. Now it’s time for the final step: chop, trim, dry, and cure. The grow may be ending, but the real magic is only beginning 🔥🌱 📊 Final Stats: 💧 Watering: Every third day 🌡️ Temp: 26–28°C 💦 Humidity: 65% RH 📈 VPD: ~1.18 kPa 💡 Light: ~700 PPFD

Everything is moving smooth with all of the plant except lots o bear by fox genetics it popped and just never grew so I’m planting the 3rd seed and if it doesn’t work I’m going to sub for purple punch auto

Läuft würde ich sagen... Unterste Etage jetzt an BT45 quasi komplett weg. Teilweise auch weggetrocknet da ich etwas zu sparsam gieße denke ich. Immer kurz nach dem Stresspunkt (untersten blätter verlieren Spannung) und nicht davor. Der Mulch ist etwas zu feucht, die neuen wurzeln die durch den Topdress kommen haben zu wenig luft...werde die nächsten Wassergaben (nur wasser) etwas 3-4cm unter die oberfläche spritzen (Kanüle 100ml Spritze). Aber Alles über dem Netzt knackig Grün. Gelbe Spitzen waren vom Lichtstress letzte woche sind aber etwas "schlimmer" geworden trotz gedimmter Lampe. Könnte also auch ein leichter überschuss sein (Tee letzte Woche), dagegen spricht, dass in den Blättern im Schatten keine Spitzen gelb sind. Gehe es also mit Dünger langsam an. Habe beim letzten gießen etwas! Melasse, ganz wenig Asche und noch weniger Guano mit Teichwassser gegeben. Nächste Runde gibts noch einen Bananentee und ggf etwas Melasse. Das kommt alles ne woche später wirklich an. und dann sollte sie ab anfang Woche 9 hungern. Rechne normaler Weise mit ner Woche mehr als der Breeder sagt. Also 10 Wochen mit 1-2 Wochen Strakem Hunger am Ende. (Andere Vorschläge mit Begründung! willkommen) RLF bei 42% was wichtig ist...habe etwas Budrot Angst...werde keine Blätter mehr wegnehmen, da mache ich zu viel Schäden und erstelle erst recht Eintrittststellen für den Grauschimmel.

j'essaye d'équilibrer la hauteur des plantes avec des sceaux cette semaine puis j'ai posé un filet pour éparpiller les branches à travers.👋

Update of harvest

Week 7 - day 43 Well what can I say these girls have made it to week 7 and are now on 12/12 for flowering, yes that also includes the zkittlez OG auto and my little babies at the front, I wanna see how they do on 12/12 for the rest of there growth 😁 overall each of them look amazingly healthy, nice thick stem, pistils already showing on a few and the auto has blown up with pistils! I can already tell these genetics are set to high standards! There now starting the stretch phase and hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will start noticing some beautiful buds 😍 I have started feeding 2litres every 2-4 days depending, I'm really starting to connect with my girls and know exactly when they need feeding, I have tried to nurture them as best I can! And hopefully this will all pay off 😃 Humidity has been a little high lately, will try my best to lower this over the weekend, added a dehumidifier into the tent which really helps, the humidity seems to only rise when lights off, lights on it sites between 50-60% Going to book in some free time at the weekend to really do a nice defoliation on these, don't want to do too much though but definitely removing some of the fan leaves and popcorn sites on the lower parts of the plant 😎 the jungle has really taken shape now, I will try to keep you all updated! Thanks for tuning in and as always happy growing!! 180319 - well I did a little defoliation at the bottom of the plants to allow for better air circulation below and to get rid of popcorn branches and shaded fan leaves. I have also added the scrog net back and I am now arranging flower sites. Laughing buddhas took several days before showing any pistils but they are now coming through nicely which means it knows to flower!!! 😂 The humidity is still an issue when lights are off, the reason being is because the tent is getting too cold and therefore the humidity raises - for payday I will purchase a small portable heater and hopefully make room for it in the tent! I also left my girls unwatered for 4 days on purpose, this is the longest I have waited without watering but there were some springtail pests in the soil, although these don't do much harm to the plants I wanted to rid them as soon as possible and the easiest way is to dry out the environment as water and moisture is what they are attracted to. Looking forward to the next 2 months of flower!!!
