Ah, welcome to Week 6 in the comedic garden odyssey of my green darlings! This week, I embarked on a sequel to the botanical blockbuster – "Defoliation: The Reckoning." It's like my plants are starring in their own leafy action movie, and I'm the director, yelling, "Cut those leaves, my green warriors! We need more drama and less foliage!" So, there I was, with pruning shears in hand, orchestrating the defoliation dance. It's become a routine, like a bi-weekly leafy spa day. The ladies might be secretly plotting to stage a plant intervention, but hey, I'm just trying to keep them on the path to becoming the Gisele Bündchen of the plant world – tall, fabulous, and with the perfect amount of greenery. And oh, the growth – it's like my plants are on a horticultural steroids regimen. They've been pushing out new leaves faster than a high-speed printing press cranks out newspapers. I can almost hear the plants chanting, "Photosynthesis for the win!" Now, let's talk about the elephant in the garden – or should I say, the scent in the tent? There's a hint of something in the air, a fragrance that can only be described as "Eau de Cannabis." Yes, my friends, the green aroma of progress is wafting through the tent. It's like my plants are getting ready for a botanical perfume launch, and I'm their unwitting fragrance tester. As I stand there, surrounded by my leafy divas, I can't help but chuckle at the thought of my garden becoming the talk of the plant town. "Have you heard about THCpapaTHCPAPA's garden? It's the chicest spot in the plant world, darling. You can practically smell the success!" Week 6 has been a horticultural sitcom filled with defoliation dramas, growth spurts, and the subtle scent of success. Stay tuned for the next episode of "The Green and the Glorious," because in the world of plants, every leaf has its own story to tell. 🌿🍃🎬

So we are at about day 70 of flower 🌺. Still not ready for 3 of these ladies😤. Took down the back right plant last night she was ripe and ready. Hung her up after a lite trim, and she will dry in my jimmy rigged drying tub for about 10 days will weigh her then

She grew 10cm this week! Next week I'm going to change the HID bulb I use in the tent. Currently it's quite a red spectrum. I'm going to swap it to a more blue/daylight 1000w item.

Due to the different genetics not all plants wil be ready at the same time. I do my best to keep RM and RH as low as possible and i give medium to high dosages of nutrients. Once a week i administer amino acids. The plants are realising really strong aroma.

The chimera has grown extremely large. It has perfect internodal spacing so that the light can penetrate deep into the plant. Now the flowering starts, we increase the addition of Prosper the flowering fertiliser.

Week 5 Update: Challenges and Optimism! 🌿💪✨ Hey there, fellow growers! 👋🌱 As we dive into the fifth week of this thrilling journey, I must admit that I've encountered a few obstacles along the way. But fear not, for challenges are merely opportunities in disguise! 🌱🚀 Currently, three of my plants are still looking a bit droopy, a consequence of my underfeeding mishap. 😔 However, I've taken decisive action to rectify the situation. I've increased their water intake from 0.5 liters each to a generous 1 liter each, provided every two days. Hydration is key! 💧💦 Let's talk environmental conditions. The temperature within the grow space ranges between 20°C and 22°C, maintaining a comfortable and optimal range for our leafy companions. The humidity levels hover around 60% to 68%, thanks to the diligent work of my trusty dehumidifier. Kudos to technology! 🌡️💨💨 In light of the recent droopiness, I've temporarily adjusted the LED power to 75%. It's a careful balancing act to ensure the plants receive the right amount of light without overwhelming them. We're all about finding that sweet spot! 💡🌿✨ Interestingly, I've noticed a similar issue with droopiness during my previous grow with sour stompers. Could it be a recurring pattern? 🤔 Moreover, upon activating the dehumidifier, I made an intriguing discovery. The CO2 levels have soared over 900ppm! It seems I've stumbled upon an unexpected correlation. I'll certainly be investigating this further to unravel the mystery. Science at work! 🔬🌿🔍 Well, my fellow enthusiasts, that wraps up the highlights for this week. Let's remain optimistic as we eagerly await our plants' recovery and resurgence. I have faith that they will bounce back stronger than ever, for nature has a remarkable ability to rejuvenate. 🌿🌱💚 Remember, challenges are but stepping stones on the path to growth. Embrace them, learn from them, and continue nurturing your green wonders with love and care. Together, we shall conquer any hurdle that comes our way! 😜💪🌿🌟 Wishing you all an incredible week of growth and exploration. Happy growing, lads! 🌱🌿✨😄

[DAY 36] - 6/7/2022 - 29°/30° and 60% RH average; - TS 1000 set at 75% = 112 watts and 45cm away - After bending the plant has returned to about 38cm in height; - EC 0.9 / 1 - PH remains fixed at 6.4, no matter how much PH down I put in the solution, it will always return to 6.4 after few hours; ------------------------------------ SCROG TIME AND DEFOLIATION IN SEVERAL TIMES ------------------------------------ - 8 PM - Lights on and scrog net mounted. The scrog net is about 25 cm (10 inches) from the clay and I have tried (at my best) to space the individual branches in the various outer squares of the net. In the next few days I will try to better fill the free squares to try to fill the scrog net completely. - 6 HOURS LATER - I was very rude due my inexperience. Despite that, plant seems already recovered, it is drinking and the branches are already bending to seek the light. [DAY 37] - 7/7/2022 - Just removed some leaves under the canopy who won't get light. I did defoliation in different times due I wanted no stress the plant too much, I hope it was a good idea. [DAY 38] - 8/7/2022 - More defoliation - Bent branches through the net; - Added peppermint oil on the lid to prevent insects from getting into the tent; - Today temperature is cooler, which is why I decided to keep the light off for only an hour. I took the opportunity to give the plant more light after the stress of the last three days to allow it to recover faster. It will go to sleep directly tomorrow at 5 pm until 9 pm, as usual. [DAY 39] - 9/7/2022 - Mounted the carbon filter; - Tried to fix the scrog but I broke a branch; [DAY 40] - 10/7/2022 - Today I tried to lower the net but it is harder than I thought. By now the branches are stuck in the net and I was able to do very little. - I probably made it worse, Before the branches seemed to me better spaced and now I'm afraid of forcing my hand too much, I risk getting even worse. For a couple of days I leave the plant alone, it's not growing so much; - EC 1.1; PH 6.2-6.4; Still drinking about 2 l/day; - TS 1000 set at 75% = 112 watts and 45cm away from the center of the net. The branches on the sides are going up and slowly approaching the lamp, but I don't move it higher because I want a strong light to arrive in the center to allow the lower branches to rise and reach the others. We hope well - I am worried that I've stressed the plant too much, there are numerous branches (even recent ones) with a color tending to red / purple. I hope she recovers well and will try to stress her to a minimum in the next few days. For the first time I had to take care of the plant directly, handling the branches and defoliating. Surely someone more experienced would have done a much better job than mine. Get back soon HULK [DAY 41] - 11/07/2022 - EC 1.3; PH 6.4 - Temp. 28° / RH: 50%; - Today I started raising the EC from 1.1 to 1.3 and the plant reacted well. I used the solution prepared 2 days ago with: demineralized water EC 0 / 0.4 g/L SILICATE / CAL-MAG up to 0.35 / A + B + HYDRO BOOSTER + 1/2 dose of BLOOM STIMULATOR for a total of = EC 1.3. Having to add 2 liters to the DWC, I raised the EC of the made solution from 1.3 to 1.7 with the only addition of CAL-MAG => TOTAL EC IN DWC = 1.3. The plant seems to react well, after 6 hours the water level has dropped and the EC dropped from 1.3 to 1.2. The plant shows to be hungry, especially for CAL-MAG. Over the next few days, I will keep EC levels well monitored and act accordingly. - TS 1000 set at 75% = 112 watts and 45cm away from the center of the net. The branches on the sides still are going up and slowly approaching the lamp. I start to see very few leaves with yellow tips, if it continues like this, I move the lamp 5 centimeters away from the center; - For the moment I stop with the defoliation for 10/15 days, on the advice of @SwissKush [DAY 42] - 12/07/2022 No update. I'm fine, don't worry.

Struggled with possibly a calcium and magnesium deficiency on #4. Had to remove some damaged leaves and now have separated it to her own reservoir. Has not stunt her growth, she is bout 5 inches taller atm then her sisters. Flow has been a struggle, if I was do one thing different is go with a 1" drain system instead of the 1/2" it presently has. Started with a drip, yet due to clogs and wanting a faster circulation, I changed to a steady flow over the clay. Presently #1 - #3 are on one reservoir and #4 on its own reservoir (In the video above shows #4). It's been a matter of adjusting the output flow and tubing size to get maximum flow without backing up the drain system.

Lilly x White Widow is doing great. She is bulking nicely with a frosty coating. She really loves the Spider Farmer G5000/UVR40 lights. She is due for a solution change soon. I may try to stretch it out till bulking is over. I want her to be juiced to fill in good, and dense.

Well, shes almost getting there. This was the last week of feeding it nutes. Next week the plant will be flushed , and harvested in 2 weeks. She smells great and the colors are starting to come out real nice. Great strain for the outdoors.

Day 72: 600W LED, 18 hours on 6 hours off the same with ventilation. No more ferilization. Water intake also remains the same 200ml per day. Humidity approx 35 percent. Day 74: She is done I just checked the trichomes getting amber Friday is harvest. No more water so 3 days no watering.

Day 77. Harvest day for that amazing plant. Dry trim chosen. Will update after drying. Thank You Zamnesia for that chance ! Day 86. Girls has started curing process. Happy Growing !!!

So she was a breeze to grow took to training like a champ fimd her early and did bowl training on her till around 2nd week in flower then removed the ties she would have been even better without the issues I had fed her daily on the wwf regime aiming for 30% runoff this seems to work really well on autos and get big yields of them trimming her was easy did wet trim then hung to dry for 6days at 65/60 with a small fan circulating the air then in a tub for 3 days burping buds are nice and tight loaded with thc and smelling awesome really happy with how things turned out thanks to all my followers and friends grow share learn what were all about happy growing guys

Was going to chop beginning of week 9, waiting is all.

Since 1 of the Tropicana Cookies seedlings died earlier on in veg, it left a spot in veg set up. Due to temperature rising each day as we approach the start of summer, water temperature in Dwc constantly rising to around 25/26 degrees Celsius. Adding & changing out frozen water bottles 3 times a day! Unfortunately still rising over the course of the day. As much as Dwc growing interest's me it's just not pheasable to grow in summer with out a water chiller!!! Risk of root rot is extremely high. Lost a few plants to root rot last year in summer & it seems that the White Widow Auto had started getting a bit of root rot, even adding frozen bottles didn't help. Needed to get her out of Dwc before it got any worse. Since I lost a seedling earlier, I've decided to take her out of Dwc & plant her into the now vacant pot, that's hooked up to a top feed recirculating hydro system. Ever since transfering her she has thrived. Changed light hours for her from 24hrs on to 20 hrs on 4 off. Started to show pistills on day 35/ last day of week 5 veg!

I'm spending a few days earlier than expected in bloom! The plants look ready to me. I set my LED's to 50% which is about 800-850 PPFD I was still bothered by the pythium and I think it will bother me on the rest of the crop, but we keep it in cage with preventive treatments, evolution to follow closely... I stay at an EC of 1.9 Osmosis water : EC 0 Root rot X 1ml/L : EC 0.2 Sensi Bloom A and B 3ml/L : EC 1.7 TOTAL EC 1.9 The temperature of the water is ideal, 20°, thanks to the more clement outside temperatures. I'm not going to hide, I can't wait to restart the run to start a session without pythium 😅, I'm going to finish quietly and I'm thinking about the next strain I'm going to put for the next run, I won't do any more multistrain with this too complicated system. I will possibly add air stones inside each pot to have more oxygenation. For the strain I hesitate between : Sour diesel Riri Cut Pianono Rico Cut A preference that you want to see in the next culture journal?

The first week has gone well and now we are looking at week 2. Good strong growth right now and is looking great. My goal over the next weeks is to get this guy ready to be trained and ready for flower!

En esta semana se ven que crecen mucho, se empiezan a ver los tricomas y el desarrollo de los cogollos. Las temperaturas están un poco altas y todavía faltan al menos 2 semanas más… tuve que poner deshumidificadorpara bajar la humedad que estaba sobre el 70%, eso hace que consuma más agua de lo normal. Esperemos todo siga bien.
