She needed more nitro again but she has a beautiful even color now and I'm ready for all of these bud sites to start building up 🤤. I'm excited for her to relax and flower

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

The overall cycle was a lengthy process for a fast version variety. Therefore, I would personally consider this as a normal photoperiod type based on this growth experience. However, the results were worth waiting for and produced some extravagant buds with colours unseen before. The taste is somewhat Berry fruity affect along with earth like aroma (I smoke pure cannabis only). Good head high followed by relaxation somewhat, overall excellent plant and would consider growing again. Bit disappointing on the dry weight but its all satisfying in the end. I may try Geotextile pots next time to help boost the yield and performance.

29.08. Update – Day 31 • The flip is complete: all plants have now officially transitioned into flowering. • Differences in genetics are clearly visible – some plants are taller and more stretched, while others remain more compact. • Despite these variations, all ladies are in excellent health, showing strong growth and vibrant green leaves. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips problem continues to improve since the nematodes were applied. • While there are still a few thrips present, the overall pressure is noticeably reduced. • If necessary, a second round of nematodes will be considered to fully bring the situation under control. ⸻ Notes & Outlook • The start of the flowering phase looks very promising, with all plants well-prepared for the next stretch. • Structural differences between the phenotypes may result in an interesting variety in bud formation later on. • Everything is running smoothly overall – healthy growth, steady development, and pests slowly being pushed back. • Once again, a big thank you to Biotabs for keeping this grow simple and effective with their Only-Water nutrient system. ⸻ 🌱 Day 31 – the flowering stage has begun: healthy plants, genetics showing their traits, and thrips slowly but surely coming under control.

I missed last week unfortunately due to a few things going on so there is quite a step up. ****It’s been in flower 9-10 days so far and all bar 3 are flowering nicely please look at the pictures of the plants that just don’t seem to be budding? Are they duds or slow developers? Am I wasting my time or will they start too do you think?**** They are getting tall now and I have had to crank the extraction up a bit. Over the course of next week I am going to put them back into the smaller tents (half in each) with a scrog net to even the canopy out and add support them if they continue to grow taller Whacked the nutrients right up to near on 1500ppm and so far so good this 2nd week of flower they have shot up. Watering 5-600ml per 24 hours but to be honest I am going to up that over the coming days to near 800ml as they are almost drying out before I water again. Perhaps twice daily may come sooner than I think

Note: I didn't necessarily flush but I didn't add any more additives or nutrients while away so I've set the nutrient values in the diary to null. --------------------------------------- June 12 (Day 90) --------------------------------------- Away - Camping. --------------------------------------- June 13 (Day 91) --------------------------------------- Away - Camping. After camping, they survived the summer heatwave and look pretty good. The stench in the tent is not like your typical Northern Lights or White Widow. It's straight-up funk that hits you in the back of your throat. I can't really pinpoint any specific scents but it's a very rich and pungent odor for sure. I’m 100% confident the roots are probably degrading with rot after the warm temps. The only problem I had while away is was the AC fills into a 5gallon bucket and it couldn’t keep up with demand about an hour before I got home. After a quick cleanup, I took a closer look and I’m happy with trichomes on both plants. This was supposed to be a 65-75 day fast finisher. Today is day 91. I’m satisfied. I consumed a test bud on weekend that went under a 3 day dry. White ash, no harshness, and punchy in regards to the effects. Chopping them tomorrow.

Buenas a tod@s... Cuarta semana de estás green poison, van de lujo, van creciendo muy bien y muy fuertes... Ningún problema alguno hasta ahora después de lo ocurrido con las otras variedades... Estás van muy bien, aún les falta crecer y engordar pero ya verán como se van a poner mas adelante 👌🏻🔥 Bueno pues al margen de la putada del problema, seguiremos trabajando duro y aprendiendo cada día más...eso es todo x hoy... Un saludo y buenos humos para tod@s...⚡💪🏻😎⚕️ 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

runoff ec measured 2.0 this week. they went to bathroom and now they are around 1.5

Week 12 - Flower Week 7 12. of Feb. Day 78 - Flower Day 43 Reservoir steady in the mid-1.6 EC range. pH behaving normally after corrections. Drinking roughly around a liter per 24h. The tops are mostly orange. Very few white pistils up top. That’s what’s dominating my attention. It feels early for them to look this mature. I start questioning whether the late-January catastrophe pushed her into finishing prematurely. Trichomes look mostly clear on closer inspection - not milky like I first thought. That’s important. 13. of Feb Day 79 - Flower Day 44 Pre top-off EC dips slightly - small sign of uptake. pH stable in the mid-5s after correction. Still fixated on the topmost crowns. They look static. I compare pictures from a week earlier and struggle to see obvious swelling. That’s frustrating. 14th of Feb Day 80 - Flower Day 45 Numbers stable again. EC mid-1.6s, pH mid-5.8s after top-off. Drinking steady but not aggressive. I consider whether development has stalled. Buds look healthy, not deteriorating - but not exploding either. 15th of Feb Day 81 - Flower Day 46 The mental tension is still there. Considered drastic action (flush), but decided against it after reviewing the data. Numbers weren’t extreme. Plant wasn’t collapsing. Chose stability instead of panic. EC held in the mid-1.6 range. pH stable. Drinking continued. EC trends stable. pH predictable. Roots healthy. No worsening damage. 16th of Feb Day 82 - Flower Day 47 00:15 pre top-off: pH 5.5 EC 1484 She drank just over a liter. After top-off: pH ~5.8 EC mid-1.6 This is the first real shift in perspective. I notice that underneath the canopy, popcorn buds and mid-level sites still have completely white pistils. That’s a crucial observation. If she were truly finishing early, those would not be fresh and white. This doesn’t look like shutdown. It looks uneven maturity between canopy layers. 17th of Feb Day 83 - Flower Day 48 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.73 EC 1564 After circulation: pH 5.75 EC 1620 EC meter seems to show too low values at first. Drinking 1L again. This is the day I actually see bulking happening. Not on the very tip of the highest tops - but right below them. The secondary crowns are stacking visibly. Calyxes swelling. Structure thickening. I realize I’ve been staring at the most stressed tissue (the very tops affected by the earlier light/EC incident) instead of looking at the plant as a whole. 18th of Feb Day 84 - Flower Day 49 Pre top-off: pH 5.92 EC ~1.6-1.7 (meter slightly inconsistent but trend stable) After top-off: pH 5.87 EC 1620 She drinks over a liter again. The brown pistils on the very top now feel less like “premature finish” and more like scars from the January event. Lower pistils remain white. Calyxes are not collapsing. Bud density is slowly improving. This week ends in a different place than it began. Not explosive. Not perfect. But alive, feeding, stacking - and very much still in flower. Next week should hopefully be all about stability and bulking.

Seedling popped on 08/09 its been a bit of slow growth at the moment after seedling has popped i had it in a solo cup for about 5/6 days an transplanted into final pot on 17/09 . Hoping for some rapid growth for the next few weeks.👊

Reported her to final pot Used old soil from last year’s

Spettacolari!

1/19 1am MONDAY...TOO STONED TO TYPE..WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THEN..HEY SHUT UP....WAIT...IS THAT ME?😂 1/19 5 AM.🚨 I GOT THE HOLY TRIANGLE OF WEED THE WHOLE FUUCK'N TRAILER PARK IS HERE!!!!! Finally got black tea Tangie in the ground so Julian bubbles and Ricky are all growing with Montel and ice t. 1/20 1:20PM VEGING PERFECT AT 30 WATTS!!! 1/21 10:11 AM. The whole fucking park is here. Julian sprouted!!! Bubbles and Ricky are doing great. I’m gonna top them and then I’m gonna start them over from clones so they grow roughly the same time as Julian and I’ll keep the Ricky and the bubbles others as mother plants and I’ll just keep them going. 1/21 10:15 AM vegging 12 inches 30 W Samsung LED Mars Hydro light perfect 121 1:10 PM I moved black tea Tangie into the germination station. The 2 gallon fits in here just fine. This will be fine for germination.. She’s sprouted only after about 40 hours so she’s really strong. 1/21, 2:54 PM. I made a my own Star Wars movie. Special effects are incredible. It’s very removing made my own Obi-Wan.A CalGonJim Production 🎥🍿 1/21 11:56PM Stoned Genie bong arrived today. my 2nd from them. Nice, this one has an ice catcher. got here in 2 days. 👍

Plant is doin ok I noticed she's a little bit smaller than other phenotypes, but soon she will grow like a monster as she prepares for flowering stage, so I decided to start LST. As you can imagin guys, is my first LST and you may guess what happened 😢 Yes I broke a branch (with little sprouds) , Will I have serious consequences at harvesting? ****I confess i smoked the broken branch and the leaves (haven't smoke in months!) Man, now I can see this will be some trippy sh^t****

wow look at dat!!! took off da wood chips today and gave da plant a good top watering!!! dis will be da second last watering as harvest is near!!! i had so much enjoyment growing dis species of plant!!! i hope dat my husband will give me da honor to grow cannabis again very very soon!!!

The missing star Due to the weight and growth that is different from other numbers But she still has a highlight that is covered with snow Make us all want to have a relationship with this little girl once🍬🍒🍭❄️ This After harvest 14 Day Living soil🥦🥦 Notill💚💚💚
