Week 12 in the garden, and it's time for some serious plant pampering! The ladies got a trimming fit for royalty, and even a leafy lollipop treat – because who says plants can't enjoy a little sweetness in their lives? With the flipping of the plants just around the corner, it's like the calm before the botanical storm. I can almost hear the plants whispering among themselves, "Get ready, folks, it's about to get real in here!" As I prepare for the flip next week, I can't help but marvel at how far my green companions have come. From tiny seeds to leafy giants, it's been a journey filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of growth. So, here's to Week 12 – a week of trimming, lollipops, and anticipation for the flip. Stay tuned for more leafy adventures as we enter the next chapter of the garden saga! 🌿🍭

More or less a standard week of stretching and feeding. She has really pushed through with the stretch. Fertigation was smooth with a 1.6 EC. Did a bit of selective defoliation of those huge fan leaves at the bottom? Used some stakes to open her out a bit. Still trying to get environment dialed in

13 Agosto 2024. selección de semillas y colocación en vaso con agua ph 6.0 con agua Oxigenada. 14 de Agosto se ponen en agua las semillas por 24 horas para hidratación. 15 de Agosto, con las semillas con muestra de radicula procedemos a pasarlas a papel absorbente. 16 de Agosto se muestra la radicula avanzada. 17 de Agosto en la mañana se puede apreciar el crecimiento de la radicula. 17 de agosto en la noche trasplantamos a "Peat Pallet" y una a maceta de cartón ya que la radicula creció bastante. 18 de agosto ya en los "Peat pallet" se pueden mostrar qué las semilla se cayo por completo e iran abriendo en el transcurso de las horas, las tenemos en un domo germinador dentro del Indoor. 🌡️ 27.1 ⁰C 💨 75% Humedad 🌫️ 0.9 VPD kPa.

I think this was a gg seed or something but still not sure.

Day 43. Chocolope is going very nice, dence and compact. Still rotate two smallest plants under very decent and CHEAP light, Mars TS1000 is really good deal !!! Most of branches secured, so now only leaf tucking and wire readjustment left. Yesterday gave 2.3 liters of water. Happy Growing !!!

The "Beautiful Lady" is thriving as One of the Outdoor Natural Wonders of the Growth World. The colour, the scent, the visual appeal...isn't She Gorgeous??? Still having doubts about the strain but clearly a Indica pheno and a world classe genetics. I registered some white flies and a snail wondering around but some neem oil treatment started very quickly ( 2ml/L solution for leaf spraying) and the week after (3.5ml/L solution for direct watering on Roots) and nome of the plagues were seen after that. As you can see, the bending clips allow the sunlight to enter directly on the internodes space and the interior leafs structure is massivly and densly developing. The seedling occured at 7th February, so counting 2/3 weeks for seedling/plantula stage, plus 6 weeks so far on vegetative stage, my opinion is that with the next week hot weather forecast and the maintenance of the fertilizing schedule ( adding once a week a "cocktail" mixing mineral fert - Bionova Autoflowering Supermix + organic Biobizz Fish Mix and Rooting Agent ( Aminoacids; Humic Acids; Nitrogen supply; Selenium/Iron compound and micronutrients) and plus every 18 days Blackstrap Molasses "tea" dilution on 2 litres of water of two tea spoons of Blackstrap Molasses (around 8 ml/L). Each 3/4 days a plain OR watering scheme - no fertilizing compounds included, just plain water- and not much than 0.5L by grow. As you can see on photos, the growth goes solidly amazing with a full healthy plant. Some bending clips were apllied and it is clearly noticed that the interior leafs structure and internodes growth is developing massivly day by day. The weather was fantastic the last 10 days, changing from a very steady temperature amplitude from Max. 20 to 23ºC and during nights a min. never below 13ºC. Relative humidity around 75 to 85 % and changing each couple of days from showering rains to clear hot and bright sunny Mediterranean days. So Jah Jah God as always on command, greatly wise, protecting the growth and spreading Peace and Love for the world. Pause and be safe...

Week 4 of flowering is now complete, and Guava Runtz is looking extremely promising. The plant has developed a large number of bud sites across nearly every branch, and stacking has clearly started along the stems. What were previously individual flower clusters are beginning to connect, giving a good indication of the long spear-shaped colas that may form over the coming weeks. The structure remains very open and well-spaced, allowing light to reach deep into the canopy. This should help many of the secondary and tertiary bud sites continue developing instead of becoming larfy lower growth. Frost production is already becoming noticeable on the sugar leaves, and all pistils remain bright white, showing that the plant is still in the active building phase with plenty of development ahead. This week I performed another light defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration. The plant responded well and continues to look healthy and vigorous. I expect to do one final cleanup next week before letting her focus entirely on flower production for the remainder of the cycle. At this stage, patience is key. The foundation has been built, stacking has begun, and now the goal is simply to give the plant time, maintain a stable environment, and let the buds fill out naturally. If development continues at the current pace, Guava Runtz has the potential to become one of the most productive and visually impressive plants of this grow. 🍈🔥🌱

After a week in the greenhouse, the ladies have taken root and are growing well. This despite the lack of sun and less than ideal temperatures. But summer is supposed to return this week. We'll see what happens then...

Day 20 flower Everything looking good

Ok one has gone purple the other hasnt :) I’m still of the opinion that’s it’s too much calcium , maybe due to the microbes improving the circulation, next change tomorrow with out any cal mag we see what happens 🤞 Changed reservoir Thursday - Boxing Day Had a few issues with calcium with this strain , it first appeared two weeks ago , I m of the opinion that maybe the concentration got too high locking ou5 the nutrients , ph is perfect at 6.3 but still later on we are seeing it in the other plant , this could also be the boxes , as this is the first run with them we can see if it’s going to happen with the northern lights 🤞 Big one is trying to go purple , the gold in her leaves is quite amazing , a side product of too much calcium I think

This week has been great! Germination on all 4 Pre 98 Bubbas and 2 Dirty Blondes was a success!! We planted them in there pots an through out the week we gave em each a very light spray down of pure water phd at 6.5 and by Friday they all popped out the soil Let’s go!!!!! Next week we will start light feed on nutrients , so y’all keep them eyes peeled for next updates an I appreciate y’all for following my grow !!😶‍🌫️💨💨💨🙏🏻💚💯🤙🏻

Entering the second week of growing for the Orange Diesel, I am finally relaxing a bit. It was so close to death with it's germination issue, but the "seed surgery" saved it and it seems to be recovering. It's a bit small compared to the Blue Dream'Matic growing under the same conditions, but it's leaves are healthy and it's putting out new growth. It's going to get it's nutrients dialed up just a little, and the lights are being lowered slowly, to dial in it's optimal grow conditions. Unless she explodes with growth I am going to avoid any topping later in the grow and focus instead on some gentle LST (if needed). I am including a timelapse that mainly covers my Blue Dream'Matic, but shows some of the growth of the 🍊 in the foreground. In future weeks I hope to get more of both the plants centered in the video. Thanks for reading, and happy growing! 🌱👍

Godfather OG by MSNL is an exciting choice for one of my legal domestic four plants. on a heating mat at 24 C and covered with foil to keep in dark until sprouting. Apr 27: transferred sprouted seeds into soil to doil in a peat pot at 24 C. second video is about seed priming using ethylene gas given off by an apple (or other ripe fruit). I’ve done seed priming the last two years, and yes it works. Also works on other plants like tomatoes or peppers.

This week was mostly about getting everything ready for the vegetative phase. I will start to add some nutrients this week. I will first flush out most of the old water that has been running through the system for about 2 weeks now. When the plants get a little bigger I will add some nutrients and try get my EC level up to around 0.7 with the help from the very supportive people over at EHG nutrients. They have offered to sponsor me through this grow with nutrients which will be of great help. They are a local South African company, so for any one from South Africa 🇿🇦 please check them out. I have added an oscillating fan to add to the airflow en strengthen my seedlings whilst they start to grow stronger. Due to my humidity being a bit lower than what I want it to be, I have decided to add an air purifier/humidifier which will hopefully add some humidity to the tent. I am aiming for about 65% RH and will be monitoring this closely. My lights are currently at 40% strength. I am making use of a panel heater to break the winter cold and will be aiming to be at around 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit). I have added an Mycelium bag which is an alternative way to add extra co2 to your grow. This helps the plant to absorb nutrients better and handle the temperatures a bit better. I will be adding photos as the week continues.

All transplanted to new one gallon containers. Gonna flower soon in these. Topped and LST on bottom branches Topped again on upper branches —-Switched to 12/12 on oct 22—- Training some more day 2 of flower

Flushed 20 gallons through the growing medium today, in preparation for harvest! I'm 100% sure she was nutrient-locked, PH of the run-off was around 4.5. From now on, I will pay greater attention to the Run-off PH, when my plants shows symptoms. Lesson learned! If I corrected her earlier, her potential would have been much greater! After the flush, the run-off has: ppm is at 80, and PH is 6.
