The only problem so far is the mix up in feed/water which she's showing with her tips, but she should be fine. I'm holding off flipping to flower until the other plant gets a little stronger. The weather shifted this week and temps have started to rise. Take it easy. Back soon. ********************************************

A lot of TLC this week and she has bounced back! 😁Really had to dial in and give her the best environment possible. Flowers started to pop up below the canopy so I’m guessing all the defoliation was successful and she is coming back stronger than ever. Will watch for fox tailing as buds form to see if she is reacting from severe light stress early flowering days. Notes from the week: 9/15: Cut burnt tops off her today. Trimmed a lot of the burnt leaves. 9/19: She has recovered nicely from the light stress/burn. Flower stage does not seem to be affected to much. I have noticed some purple calxys and upper leaves near some tops seem to be fading and showing some purple as well. 😈

Nearing the end. Defoliated and pulled apart the mass of buds that had all grown into a single main cola. I didn't notice but there were multiple buds all cramed together, blocking out light to the inside. After pulling them apart and carefully tying them down I have been able to increase the airflow, trichome, and overall size while also decreasing the excess nitrogen that had built up in those cramped bud sites. Did all this about 5 days ago and ahe is getting even better. Just a few days left. Also, I cut off a little piece yesterday just cause I'm so desperate. Lol. Next update will be harvest!

DAY 71 F: Well a day overdue for the update but I have been a busy fellow in the real world. The Girls scout cookies have dried enough to be considered for jarring. They have finished so perfectly and so damn tacky too. They smell of sweet candy after a lollipop lick. So nice. I have been taking samples the past week of so and drying them . temptation won.lol Idont expect a huge yield from their size but the quality is bang on the money. The Amnesia haze ladies are so so close now . They are rock somid still and have really packed the trichs on , a little swelling has been noticable but not the second flush of pistils I was hoping for. #1 and 2 are going to be left until day 77 at least , so another week but the #3 lady has got to go into the dark period now I think. She was the girl I confused as a gsc too so had her dragon force very early in that respect. Seeing how faded out she has got during the last week has helped drive the decision to get her out now. She will be in the dark for 48 hours then trimmed for drying. They will all be fed just water now to use up the remaining nutes in the pots to the end. The critical cheese is in mid flush of her newest pistils and thankfully is swelling nicely due to that fact. She has a really fuel/ nail polish heavy aroma at present but I can smell the sweet tang too. She looks like her yield could be a good one for what looked like a gangly specimen for the past 12 weeks. Lol . One of criticals finest qualities I think. All in all a good week for the ladies if not a calm one. Let's see what next week brings. Be safe and well growmies.

This Spring I was asking @James from RQS, wich recommendations he can give for Good Outdoor Performer in my Country. ( Northern Europe) Because most of the Year i have to Harvest earlier due bad Weatherconditions. Because in 3rd .of September, weather changes, and big Rain begins He recommended me Honey Cream and Speedy Chile So I started Grows with this Strains And its a Superstrain!! for my Conditions, That means they get ready in Time, before everything gets worse Great growing Strain, very big and stable Branches, .........When they started Flowering they go in Overdrive The Result is a wonderful strong Plant, filled on and on with Buds Today we harvested The Lady in the 75l Growpot On Sunday the Lady into the ground, gets Harvested We made some Photoshooting and Videos to show her Beauty, but its nearly impossible To catch her in Pictures but we tried Luckyly ii nvented in a wet trimming machine, and the Lady was cut down in short Time, and gave us a good Number ( i have no cluehow much,,,Iam guessing for 300 g) Sunday October 4th Second Honey Cream was Harvested, She had agood shot Of Purple due Cold nights. She was so fresh , when I took of the Bif Leaves, they made asmacking Sound Plant Number 2 was sitting in The Ground, I started fertilising her late( 2 weeks before Harvest), but not tooo Late She nearly catched up , in Budbuiding her Sister. So Thank you for those Gentics... its for me a "must to grow again Plant" Iam going to write more on Sunday, about buds smell and resinousness

Wochenbericht: Papaya Frosty – Ende Blütewoche 6 / Start Woche 7 Vom Fundament bis unters Dach: Wenn Selektion auf pure Naturkraft trifft Heute ist der letzte Tag der sechsten Blütewoche und ab morgen starten wir offiziell in die Blütewoche 7. Meine Papaya Frosty zeigt jetzt unter den Polycarbonat-Platten meines Gewächshauses ihre wahre, monumentale Pracht. Dieses Gewächshaus ist kein gewöhnliches Setup, sondern ein echtes Ökosystem: 4 Meter breit, 8 Meter lang und stolze 3 Meter hoch. Es ruht auf einem soliden Fundament, das einen halben Meter tief in die Erde eingegraben ist, während das Dach mit strategischen Umluftspalten konstruiert wurde. Um der Natur maximale Freiheit zu geben, bleiben Türen und Fenster rund um die Uhr, 24/7, sperrangelweit geöffnet. Das Ergebnis? Draußen herrscht seit gestern Nacht Dauerregen, doch im Inneren zieht ein permanenter, natürlicher Luftstrom durch das dichte Grün. Keine einzige feuchte Stelle, kein stehendes Wasser auf den Blättern – nur das perfekte Gewächshausklima für die anstehende finale Phase. Das Fundament: Eine Pipeline in der Muttererde Alles an dieser Pflanze beginnt im Verborgenen. Dadurch, dass sie direkt in der tiefen Muttererde steht, konnte sie ein Wurzelnetzwerk aufbauen, das keine Topfgrenzen kennt. Wer den Blick an den Boden richtet und den Zollstock anlegt, sieht sofort das Ergebnis: Der Hauptstamm hat an der Basis einen unfassbaren Durchmesser von 6,5 Zentimetern erreicht. Er ist massiv verholzt, tief gefurcht und arbeitet wie eine gigantische hydraulische Pipeline, die ununterbrochen Kraft nach oben pumpt. Dieses Fundament ermöglichte mir eine radikale Schnitttechnik. Ich habe die Pflanze konsequent auf den Haupttrieb und fünf starke Beine selektiert. Bis auf eine Höhe von 1 Meter wurde alles rigoros gelollipoppt – keine Energie verschwindet hier in schwachem Popcorn-Bugholz. Erst ab dieser Ein-Meter-Marke durften sich die Triebe entfalten, die nun von zwei Scrog-Netzen im Zaum gehalten werden. Das erste Netz sichert die Struktur bei 1,40 Meter, das zweite fängt die Wucht bei 2,20 Meter ab. Die mittlere Etage: Steinharte Knospenmasse Die Bilder aus der mittleren Etage (zwischen 1,40 m und 2,20 m) zeigen, was diese selektierte Energie bedeutet. Die Buds sind hier bereits über 5 Zentimeter dick – und zwar reine Blütenstruktur, ohne die abstehenden Blätter. Was mich zum Ende dieser 6. Woche am meisten fasziniert: Jede einzelne Knospe, bis hinunter zur kleinsten im Halbschatten, ist schon jetzt vollkommen fest und steinhart. Die Blütenkelche stapeln sich dicht an dicht, während ein dichter, frostiger Teppich aus glasklaren Trichomen die Zuckerblätter überzieht. Die langen Stigmen stehen noch makellos schneeweiß im Saft. Das ist das Zeichen: Hier wird noch aktiv Masse gebaut. Gestern gab es das letzte Mal Nahrung – organisch mit Biobizz und Top Max. Pünktlich zum Start von Woche 7 bricht nun die reine Herbstphase an, in der die Pflanze beginnt, sich langsam aus eigenen Reserven zu zehren. Der Blick nach oben: Der 60-Zentimeter-Hauptmast Doch das eigentliche Spektakel spielt sich ganz oben ab, wo die Pflanze die Decke berührt. Die Hauptspitzen thronen auf einer schwindelerregenden Höhe von 2,50 bis 2,60 Metern. Wenn man den Zollstock von der allerobersten Budspitze nach unten führt, offenbart sich die absolute Ausnahmeerscheinung dieses Grows: Der Hauptmast bildet eine durchgehende, majestätische Blütenstruktur von weit über 60 Zentimetern Länge! Interessanterweise verläuft die Reifung hier oben umgekehrt. Während die mittlere Etage schon kompakt ausreift, steht der riesige Hauptmast direkt unter dem Dach im absoluten Fokus des Sonnenlichts. Diese massive Lichtenergie treibt die Spitze unaufhörlich an – sie schiebt immer weiter vitale, hellgrüne Blätter und frische Blütenetagen nach oben. Sie will einfach noch nicht aufhören zu wachsen. Es ist ein faszinierender Spagat zwischen der bereits reifenden Mitte und dem unbändigen Vorwärtsdrang der Krone. Wir gehen nun ab morgen mit Woche 7 auf die Zielgerade zu. Das Fundament steht, die Blütenmasse ist extrem dicht und die Luftzirkulation könnte nicht besser sein. Ich bin gespannt, wie weit diese 60-cm-Riesencola in den nächsten Wochen noch anschwellen wird, wenn die Erde langsam aushungert. Bleibt dran – der Endspurt hat gerade erst begonnen!

Day: 9 I'm considering replacing a cpl of these with different seeds. They are already behind schedule-1 OG Kush and the Gorilla Girl. Any tips varigation on leaves? I just gave them there first feeding of Big Buds and Blooms (N5) after the 24 hour Superthrive wait period. Both Superthrive and NPPK were used at 1/4th the strength called for on the lable. Nighty Night girls. Going to bed wet is not ideal but they needed a full watering bad..hoping I didn't over water (purified water) Some of the soil just does not seem to get wet in these pots. weak leggy blackberry kush has some wind tonite. Hoping to boost stem strength. they are trying to fall over from the weight. Day 10: made little stakes from coated wire. Repositioned the Gorilla Girl for a third time. You can see that part of the stem looks white from being underground. Still gonna give it a little more time. Otherwise, all are seemingly fine after first feeding. Day 11: applied SuperThrive and my Gorilla Girl turned yellow for a few hours. Glad she is resilient!!! Day 12 thru 20. So my PH meter was wrong and I have been watering with 9+ water for the first 2 weeks. i had 2 ph meters in case this happened but one is for soil...new grower mistake. So...I've lost precious time on my aotos and my gorilla girl is ...lord help meh..she don't look too good. All are alive in spite of my noobness. I'll post some pics that should have a disclaimer stating this is not what your plants should look like at 20 days in. Also had to transplant into non-waxlined pots. This is not the best experience to show publicly but new growers can maybe learn from my mistakes.

10/11

this harvest is too early because of my growing condition,

2/1/2024- Pre-Germination Activities Day 1 I have 21 weeks until final photo is do.. I took 3 seeds out of cold storage and will let them get to room temp for the next 48 hours before I go with Glass of water for germination. I have 3 beans because I will start from the very beginning helping ensure I present the best Pheno. This is going to be a fun one.. I am a few days away from being able to clear my tent out for this run.. I have a breeding run in right now and the Seeds are a few days away from being mature enough for me to take down the girls. Once I get them down I will need to get my tent cleaned up and turned over right away. This is going to be close, I will have to time them to the water and into the tray at the right time.. because I will need to get lighting on them right away.. I have my 2X2 and my light ready incase I need to hold them in the cloning machine if the others are not done in the next few days.. Glad I have options that can stretch me out for a week or 2 to give me a little more time. 2/2/2024- Pre-Germination Activities Day 2 I checked on my breeding run to see how close the seeds are and if the tent is ready for me to clear and clean but alas I am still going to need a few days. I setup the emergency 2X2 and that should give me 2-3 weeks. The plan is to still wait one more day to allow the beans to warm up to room temp and then drop them in Water sometime tomorrow. Form my Emergency 2X2 I have the following: 4" inline fan and carbon filter Fan VS-2000 light 2/3/2024- Germination Activities Day 0 - Dropped the Beans in.. Today is 0 day.. Go.. Go .. Go.. 2/4/2024- Germination Activities Day 0-1 - Checked in on them this morning and no tap roots yet.. covered them back up and back in to the closet they went. I setup the Root Riots and the Seed tray for them. I Ensured my water that I was soaking the root riots in was PHed to 5.8 and I used RO water. Afternoon Update: Checked on my Breeders and they are done. I started to harvest them, I took down the one I had reversed with STS and I took down the Black African Magic- All but one bud, I wanted to get some pics of that one today. I was only able to get 2lbs into the Cannatrol because I had to be very careful to keep the bud from the plant that was treated with the STS separated from the other seeded bud that was pollenated from the plant I reversed. Cannatrol could have held an additional 2oz of wet but not today. Ideally I need 1 more Cannatrol so I can take an entire Tent, but will figure that out. I put an additional 1.5lbs into the freezer to wait it's turn into the Cannatrol, I would have left it on the plant and taken it in 4 days when the dry cycle gets done but wasn't sure how much 2.2 lbs was equivalent to chopped and wet trimmed. 2/5/2024- Germination Activities Day 0-2 - Checked in on them this morning and 2 of them have very small tap roots out.. one still doesn't going to give them some more time. I will check in on them this evening and see if they are more open if so I will transfer the ones that are ready to their medium and seed tray. 2/6/2024- Planting Day TRUE Germination Day 0- Checked in on them this morning and all 3 of them have tap roots out. I broke the bottom of the tap root for #1 which was the biggest.. pretty sad.. I hope she survives.. I tried to be careful it just snapped off when I was trying to get it in the root riot right. Other than that all three are now in their in-between home in the 2X2 while if finish clearing and cleaning out their forever homes. 2/7/2024- Germination Day 1- Checked in on them and no surprise no sprouts yet. Sprayed the dome to moist it and light spray to the tops of the Root Riots. 2/8/2024- Germination Day 2- #3 is popped and it looks like #2 will be popped by this evening.. I got my second Cannatrol today so now I can take down the rest of the tent and get it into the dry/cure. 2/9/2024- Germination Day 3- #2 is popped as well.. so I have #2 and #3 up and still waiting to see on #1 but that might be a loss since I accidently broke off some of the Tap root when transplanting. 2/10/2024- Germination Day 4- #1 has Popped... We have ignition on all 3.. YAY!! I finished clean up and install of RDWC system, this time was unique the back left buckets 3 inch pipe wasn't seated correctly so I had to clean up about 12 gallons of water all of the floor. I also had two leaks coming from one of the Waterfall return junctions, this is why I do a full pressure test before I put anything in. I will continue to monitor it through tomorrow to ensure that I am good to go and then I will finish setting up the baskets and prepping the water to be ready for the ladies planting day!!! 2/11/2024- Germination Day 5- #1 Of course is going to be my trouble plant.. No matter what If she lives through planting in the system and making it, I think I might not cull her at all regardless, she has been such a problem, makes me wonder if she will be super worth it towards the end.. We will see as we go through this grow, but #1 has a piece of the shell on the leaves, Other than that I set up a new thing I have been doing since last grow converting my Baskets into Sure plants so I can see exactly where the water is when I plant them and ensure I have the water up high enough that they are able to access it and grow but not too high were they are drowning. 2/12/2024- Germination Day 6- Everything seems to be going good.. will just keep them moist and let the roots grow for a few more days before I transplant to forever home. 2/13/2024 - Germination Day 7- Just keeping them Moist. 2/14/2024 - Germination Day 8 - Planting day.. they are now in the system.. :-)I had to fill the water to the bottom of the basket where I could see water on the bottom rocks and just coming up where I had created my whole/ sure plant. 2/15/2024 - Germination Day 9- Top fed just a little to keep them moist and encourage root growth towards the water. I ensured the PH is right at 5.98-6.02 range. 2/16/2024 - Germination Day 10- Top fed just a little to keep them moist and encourage root growth towards the water.

Week 2 off flower. Topped dressed with buildaflower Bokashi

Wow well she has absolutely shot up this week! She's grown 45cm!!!! But what I do notice is she has massive internodal spacing. Not sure if it's something I did wrong or what... She is growing well after her flush. All the new leaves do not have the spots on. They are solid green! Again, thanks for the heads up @BigDaddyK on that one!

boom

So this was quite the week...I was looking over our set up, and making sure Grandma has everything she needs when she says "it seems to me that we need a vegetation cabinet." Turns out she had all the supplies too. Cracked me up...so I ended up building a nice little veg / drying cabinet. You'll see it in the second Meph run diary, was too busy to get some shots today. 😅 She doubled in size from last week, super happy with the progress. She's under a combo of flouro and LED in the new cabinet and LOVING it. Started ramping in nutrients slow and steady, keeping the c02 around 600-800ppm while I finish up the environmental control in the new cabinet. I realized that Mephy, might be a flight risk...so I made her a pen. 😂 ...also removed any confusion on her breed. Yeah, I nerded out a little. #prusagang #piggydankfarms Hope everyone had a great week, and all the competition ladies are stellar! Until next week...time to go play on the farm. ✌️🌱

Hello Growmies, Entering the sixth week of flowering with our vibrant Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids by Zamnesia, it's evident that our decision to opt for low-stress training over topping is yielding fruitful results. The plants have gracefully embraced the SCROG network, with a well-distributed canopy that's maximizing both light absorption and airflow, fundamental factors for their sustained well-being. The Watermelon Candy's display of luscious green foliage and resilient stems is a clear indicator of their prosperous journey through the vegetative stage and into flowering. The environment within the tent has been fine-tuned to near perfection during the daylight hours thanks to the Tent-X system. The Prima Klima EC blue fan's anticipated arrival next week is expected to iron out the nighttime VPD inconsistencies, ensuring a consistently optimal environment for the critical flowering stage ahead. Despite being introduced a week later than their tent companions, these F1s are displaying a remarkable growth spurt, currently about 10-14 days ahead in development compared to the photoperiod strains sharing their habitat. It's a testament to their vigorous genetics and the efficacy of our environmental controls and nutrient regimen. The weekly feed includes a meticulously measured concoction of Alga Bloom, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, administered every four days to sustain their accelerated growth. We've encountered our fair share of challenges with equipment integration, but it's the resilient spirit of these Watermelon Candy plants that keeps us motivated. Their rapid development and the advent of dense floral sites suggest we're on the path to an abundant harvest. In the latest images, you can see the substantial pre-flower stretch, with plants #2 and #3 particularly standing out with their robust stature and symmetrical growth. It's a joy to witness the fruits of our labor coming to such a vivid life. As we adjust our PPFD levels from 250-350 to a more intense 450-500, we're steering our lush green sea towards a future of dense, resinous buds, all while ensuring our environmental parameters are tightly regulated. The TrolMaster's data logs reveal our success in maintaining VPD within range, with occasional deviations promptly corrected—often just a matter of fine-tuning our fan settings between day and night cycles. Our community's wisdom has been invaluable, and we look forward to more shared experiences as these F1s reach their full potential. Stay lifted, Salokin

This week continues to be all about the stretch. The plant is still growing steeply upwards. I’m holding off on a more aggressive defoliation in the center for now to avoid stressing the plant too much during the stretch. However, I’ve been gradually trimming underneath the net. Small flower sites are now appearing everywhere. I'm curious to see how long it will keep stretching. Watering continues every other day with 2.6 liters, with minimal drainage. On day 49, I was asked why I had started defoliating the top—but no, it’s actually just the stretch. Growing 3-5 cm per day! Crazy stuff.

Growing fast and beautifully! Gotta love some FastBuds ❤️ can’t wait to get the other testers started. Just not sure if I should stick with the tall 3 gallon grow bags or use 5???
