Blac Russian, looking fresh and happy, she stands in 2 SCROGS and under a Roof, so
the autumnwinds dont arm her, we had a couple of very windy and rainy days
but she is safe.
She developed more Buds, and the exisiting budsites are swelling very good-
so i think around 3-4 more weeks

Well these three girls had a rough week to say the least. Two of the girl's became an afternoon snack for Pebbles our pet rabbit lol. He chewed on the main stalk of each, and ripped the what im going to call bark. I used vaseline to keep out disease and pests and also placed 3m transpore tape (medical tape) on to "replace" the bark so to say. Switched to transitional bloom nutrients by lowering the amount of grow pro and introduced monster bloom and nirvana.

This past week has been a blast!
After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!💚🌱💚
I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times 😅
Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way 🙏
My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.😆. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. 🏴☠️😎🏴☠️
Happy Growing!
💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

Unfortunately I spotted one bud with bud rot on my gelato plant. I flushed it on day 91 of cycle, day 54 of flowering. Today is day 94 and it seems it has not spread out to any other buds(happy days) .. I am watching it closely everyday and also to see how the trichomes are going.. breeder says 65-70 flowering days to be ready.. let’s see.. if I spot another bud rot I will probably harvest it.. I hope that will not happen.. let’s go

This girl is doing awesome. She has completly taken over that corner of the tent 100%. She has a amazing smell of kush and candy i can already start to smell it on a stem rub! She is way sticky. Will give her a hair cut/ defoliation over this next week so the light can "penetrate" her more.
She is getting a heavy dose of nutrients from canna and my my she has just exploded. Still keep it at 5.6-5.7 PH and about 3 L of food every 2 days for her.
Released some more lady's in there just to make sure no cross contamination is going on from other flower tent. Have soaked the garage in bleach almost died!!! Don't smell bleach when u spray in container and see mist in there!!! DUH now whem I open twnt floor is soaked in bleach and make sure clothes are clean.
Learn from ur mistakes and move forward in a running motion!!!
Stay tuned it's gana get frostyyyy
Love

Like the other strain, I believe all three autos will be coming down at about the same time.My dad pointed out all their pistons, turned amber, and we normally go based off of that.And the flower size and the amount of water that they are drinking.
Typically, a plant will drink less water in the last two weeks of life.Letting you know that it's starting to die.
This was the auto that was just going to keep going.And keep making white hairs without stop.So we're gonna harvest now. Hopefully, this plant would be ready to sample when I return
My dad sent me a video showing that the plant is getting so heavy that it can't support itself anymore.Normally, it would be supported by little plastic triangles.
Because I started that plant, all I did was do one or two men and let them perform

Lost medipak#2. Just suddenly kicked the bucket. Oh well. Such is life! It might have been a fungus issue...The other 2 medipak are cruising. The 4 indigo childs are looking really nice. Very excited to see what they look like in 3 weeks

Hello Growmies,
As we wrap up the seventh week of our Epic Buzz cultivation, our tent is bustling with life, with each plant showcasing the fruits of our labor. The training techniques, including defoliation, lollipopping, and scrogging, have been executed to near perfection, allowing our plants to transition into the flowering phase with robust vigor. Epic Buzz #1 and #2, in particular, are the epitome of horticultural excellence, with their sturdy stems and lush foliage setting the standard in our green haven.
This week marked a pivotal shift in our lighting strategy, as we nudged the PPFD values from a modest 250-350 up to an assertive 450-500. This increase is designed to optimize the light intensity during this critical phase of growth, catering to the heightened demands of our flowering beauties.
Our nutrient regime has been meticulously fine-tuned to accommodate the changing needs of our Epic Buzz varieties. The switch from Alga Grow to Alga Bloom signifies our plants' transition from vegetative growth to flowering, ensuring they receive the ideal nutrient profile for bud development. This, paired with our steadfast mix of Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, is dispensed religiously every four days to maintain optimal health and vitality.
The controlled conditions within the Tent-X continue to be monitored with precision, keeping the VPD levels within a desirable range, despite occasional deviations due to manual fan adjustments. However, the imminent arrival of the Prima Klima EC fan is set to revolutionize our environmental control, promising seamless day-to-night transitions and a well-deserved retirement for the Mars Hydro fan.
I humbly seek the collective expertise of this community for guidance on integrating a 5-phased PWM motor with the TrolMaster controller. Your shared experiences and advice are invaluable as we strive for continuous improvement in our growing endeavors.
As we look ahead, the promise of what's to come with our Epic Buzz trio fills us with anticipation. Their impressive canopies and formidable structures are not just a testament to their genetic potential but a reflection of our dedication and the collective wisdom of this remarkable community.
Stay lifted, and may your gardens always grow bountifully,
Salokin

I spent the week mainly transplanting. I transplanted the Sour Diesels (ILGM) from a Jiffy Pot into a 1 gallon fabric pot.😁 I really didn't have any issues this week everything is going well 👌. The plant(s) recovered 😷 from the transplant like nothing even happened. I would guess in the next week or so I will be transplanting into a 2 gallon pot, depending on how fast she grows. I like to go up 👆 in pot size gradually. I never really believed it made a difference. I would go straight from the Jiffy Pot to my end pot (3 gal, 5gal, whatever). Then I found some 1 gallon and 2 gallon fabric pot at a really good price 😎 so I bought them. I started out just trying a few plants and kept the plants that went straight into the large pots right next to them. To my surprise 😮 I noticed a petty significant difference in growth. Now I figure for a little extra effort 💪 whether it works or not it's worth a shot.

This week I noticed a decent increase in height and I figured I should get LST started. I wanted to wait to transplant my ladies, but due to covid, my supply of soil is not here yet, and I can’t fill my 10 gallon pots for the transplant. I looked up online and people said you should be able to transplant the plant successfully by cutting the ties and ensuring you just don’t disturb the roots / medium.
I went ahead and got started with LST and I accidentally snapped one of my plants main stems during the process. I mean literally snapped, could see the hollow centres, hanging by a thread of fibre. *so heart broke * I had read online e you can repair it with duct tape and that aloe Vera helps. I did not have duct tape handy but I got some aloe and used the ducting tape that came with my exhaust fan to try to secure it. Fingers crossed it’ll heal
If I had some root stimulant I would’ve tried planting it but I don’t have any.
I was wondering could that be a form of super cropping? Do you think it’ll just be like a really brutal attempt at topping the plant? Very curious about everyone else’s thoughts on this
Pics are attached.
Aside from that one my LST went well from what I can tell. I did not train my blue dream out of fear of wrecking my one plant of that strain. I also did not LST one of my mystery caramel due to the stem feeling the same as the one that snapped. The rest I tied down and attached photos can you guys tell me if it looks like I did it correctly ? Would love some feed back.
All in all I feel like we are kicking off the week strong. Good growing to everyone
