Day 148. Veg just transplanted her to a 5 gal and lst with scrog net helpfully she takes off.

Week 3 The 2 first crucial weeks are over. Plants are healthy, vigorous 👌 Daylight 6h35 / 21h20 = 14h45 Sunny days - 26 °C Continue to stimulate the rooting system.

Start of week 4 of flowering. Week 3 went well, even with temps reaching 35°c in the closet. I've since added another fan to circulate more air, temps have dropped down to 31°c. Despite the heat stress, the plants are growing rather well and bud sites are developing nicely. Light defoliation again this feeding. Based on the heat issues, I need to upgrade my exhaust fan, 100 CFM isn't enough to get ride of the heat.

8/30 Rained yesterday and pretty much all night. Plants looked happy this morning. I'm thinking about feeding today or tomorrow. The late flowering special kush doesn't have much longer and it will be done. I'm going to need to do another treatment for the thrips. Nights are so cold that I think they aren't a major problem. No signs of septoria either. No signs of ANY molds or mildew. Even where I took the pillar out but I removed a lot. I am noticing (especially on the pink kush and the special kush in the back) the wierd "top hat" lower buds like I previously did. I don't think it's the chipmunk. It's like they eat fresh buds and leave the top there. I think it might be earwigs but I haven't seen ANY. Birds have been keeping my garden pretty clean. Almost everytime I walk down there it's like a flock of birds takes off lol. I was watching the little finches all perched on my cage. I've seen them dart in and grab a snack. It's pretty cool how it works. Symbiotic relationship. I feed the birds amd they help keep my garden pest free. EDIT: Went to check the girls around 430. It seems like everytime I see the flowers they've swelled in size. Especially the natural mk ultra. Everything is really coming together. Pink kush is behind but it's starting. I'm getting lots of fall colors but I'm losing lots of leaves too. I wouldn't have defoliated as good as I have if I hadn't had problems. I thought the plants were done getting taller or stretching but after this rain they ALL seem taller. The buds are swelling as well. I'm on the home stretch with the early special kush. Few more weeks. Everything looked amazing tonight. I wanted to take some pictures but I left my phone. Smell is greatly increasing. 8/31 I don't get how we got NO rain the ENTIRE summer but it's rained the past few nights? Maines bipolar weather I guess. I see the same shit as prior years. Something crawls up and eats small shoots and developing buds but leaves larger ones alone. I thought it was earwigs before. I'm not sure now. I'll have to go look at night and figure out what's eating shit. It's just small secondary shoots mostly. Stuff I should've pruned but I leave on so the won't eat my fucking colas. I got some work to do but I'm getting closer. 9/1 Well we made it to September. Pink kush is finally STARTING to form little buds. After some research (and watching those fucking locusts try to fly into my cage but can't because they are to fucking big. I was lucky I found that enormous one on the stalk of the furthest special kush right where the tip cola starts. Luckily I was able to get him. Didn't have to take pics or a video or even check if they need water. It rained a little last night and the buds were a little wet. I'm planning to feed when I get back. If they need water I'll give it to them. My early special kush is getting real close. I want to harvest at peak timing but sometimes exigent circumstances screw that up. However i think I'll be able to let this girl finish properly. EDIT: Went back over to check weights and everything was super heavy. Plants are all turning fall colors. I checked the trichs on my special kush, mk ultra and 10th planet. Everything looked great in the sun! Everything is swelling and getting frostier everyday. I'm hoping that the pink kushs will finish. My early special kush LOOKS like it should be done but it's not. Looking at the trichs and stigmas it needs more time. I've found on several plants that between the; giant caterpillars, earwigs and pillars that they can take a whole branch and pretty much decimate it in a night. I chased one of those giant locusts around my Cafe and it finally got out. Bastard was almost the size of a small bird! I should feed tonight and possibly do a treatment for pests. 9/2 Had to shake to plants off again. Bags are still heavy. I'll probably feed tonight. I'm noticing tons of damage on lower and interior branches. The grasshoppers or locusts or whatever they are can strip a whole branch! They can even bite through little stems. I'll never grow outside without floating row covers again. The special kush is getting really close. Sometime this week I'll look for a mature tester bud. Both MK ULTRAS are exploding in flower and getting frostier daily. 9/3 We are going to be getting some rain. I noticed the grasshoppers or whatever really like the special kush. After seeing her in the sun I made the executive decision (after one more peak at the trics) and decided to chop her. I feel like that was a good decision. Even more so as I got going. I bet if I let it ride I would've ended up with half as much. The fan leaves had all dropped. I wish I would've kept a clone of this pheno. Smells amazing! I did a quick wet trim with branches and cut little buds (which there weren't many) went in a paper bag the rest was hung to dry. Minus the top cola and a bud or two I brought home to look at and manicure. The roots were really dry. The others seen heavy but I haven't watered in a while. I'm planning on watering and feeding tomorrow. Things are really exploding and conibgvti life! I feel so much better having that plant inside. 9/4 I was definitely right to take that plant. It just SEEMED to early. Went over today and found more damage from those grasshoppers or locusts, whatever the fuck they are. I used to just hear that noise at night but now it's morning noon and night. Some can't hear it but it's this high pitched buzzing (them rubbing their legs together) which wad heard occasionally with crickets at night. This hear it's a CONSTANT sound. Considering I'm in late flower I'm not sure what to do. I don't think there's much u can do. At least it seems like they prefer the special kush and target that. So at least that huge mk ultra and the natural one and the 10th planet's should be fine. Pink kush is finally flowering. Whether they'll have any nodes left by the time they finish is an unknown. WATERED TODAY. EVERYTHING GOT A GALLON BUT THE 10S. EVERYBODY GOT A QUART OF FOOD. IM CONSIDERING UPING KOOL BLOOM. Didn't take pictures or do a video. I will later. I'll review the special kush I took when I take the others. I'll be back over later and I'll update. No rain as of 2pm. I watered because I took the rootball apart of the special kush I harvested and it was dry as a popcorn fart! I lifted a couple and they were light bit I didn't lift everything. The water sat on the top for quite before it would drain. At least they had a good dry cycle. That plant I took looks and smells amazing. I can't wait to try it. 9/5 Thunder showers today. Started raining early while I was checking the girls out. I had coffee and waited until it stopped and shook them all off. EVERYTHING is exploding in growth. Pink Kush is still quite a bit behind but everything else has swollen significantly. It's going to rain tomorrow too which I'm sure the plants will like. I SHOULD go stake individual branches or at the very least add some more supports. Still losing some stuff to critters but whatever. It's nature's claim. That plant I took looks awesome. My intuition was spot on. Can't wait to try it. EDIT: WENT BACK OVER AND SHOOK OFF BRANCHES AND ADDED SOME SUPPORTS. I DEFOLIATED A SHIT TON OF LEAVES. FLOWERS ARE GETTING BIGGER EVERY DAY. I FOUND SOMETHINGVTHAT LOOKED LIKE "STEM ROT" ON THE BRANCH OF SPECIAL KUSH THAT GOT STRIPPED. I LOOKED UP WHAT TO DO BUT FORGOT TO MENTION IT WAS SPRINKLING AND I CUT THE BRANCH OFF. THIS WAS (OR WOULD HAVE BEEN) A LARGE BRANCH AND IT WAS ALL GONE. IM HIPING IT DOESNT EFFECT THE PLANT. ITS ANOTHER SPECIAL KUSH AND ITS THE ONE WITH PINK CALYXS. I'M TRIMM8NG THE SPECIAL KUSH I TOOK DOWN. I GOT TO TRY IT TODAY. IT TURNED OUT AMAZING! COVERED IN TRICHS, SMELLS GREAT BUT TASTES BETTER! GIVES ME THAT FAMILIAR INDICA HIGH WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE. I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT IT SEEMS THAT CANNABIS GROWN WITH YOUR OWN HANDS FOR YOUR OWN NEEFS SEEMS TO WORK BETTER FOR ME THAN DISPENSARY PIT I KNOW IS BETTER. IM SITTING HERE WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE. SINKONG INTO THE COUCH. I CAN TELL THERES OTHER CANNIBINOIDS AT WORK TOO. I LOVE THE ENTOURAGE EFFECT!

Changed into final pots ( 15L ) and into the final tent (240x120). The repotting was urgently necessary because all the nutrients from the old soil were used up and the pots were completely rooted. I probably should have repotted sooner

From week 2 to 3 in flower the plant took off and almost shot itself into the light overnight. Upped the bloom nutrients to 36, interested to see how the plants handle it. I have maxed the height in the tent, reflector is on the top of the tent and the plants are 20 to 24cm away. Can't do much about the height so managing the heat between the bulb and plants.

Heeeere we go! Sorry for the late update! This is when I start the flush! I believe the plants are pretty much ready at this point and doing this will just improve the final product! Doing this took me a good chunk of time, mostly because I didn't know exactly how much of water I was going to need (it was a loooot 😫) and how hard/tiring it was to pH it as well. In the end my calculations were off, as I needed far more water than what I had (lol) so I didn't manage to do a full flush... but I still managed to lower the amount of salts and residues to a "decent" level (around 850 to 1500 ppm). I also used flawless finish so I suppose than even when I didn't use enough water that solution alone was enough to help! Besides that the rest of the week was quite calm and relaxing. Thanks everyone for reading! 😍

Starting to take shape and smell😂 was able to take a fastbuds down this week to help the ramp into harvest. 😂😂 gréât strains - spring is here - on Twitter now @greenleopard420 - all good. Variation if feeding in the tent. Those little fleas still there , nematodes didn’t work so disappointed there.

A great week. Included a diagram so you can better tell which plant is which. I will be changing that up come flower to better fit the plants so I'll label them later as well. Gonna flip to flower I believe to try and save space. Gonna be tight but wasn't planning that this time. I got some BT var israelensis or something close to that for the fungus gnats thanks to @resimax and will test that. Lastly, you might catch a glance at the upcoming diary...

Im really happy how she is catching up with the height of the rest of the plants in the tent👍🏻.. I've changed the feeding schedule "and let's go to flower some nice buds Banana lady🌞.. Have a nice week and till the next 🤙🏻

Been tying these girls down over the week. Trying to spread them out more. They are looking healthy at least. No issues. No fungus gnats or any critters at all. Happy with it right now

D15/V11 - 15/04/23 - Added water and nutes EC 0,7 pH 6.4 D16/V12 - 16/04/23 - Nothing D17/V13 - 17/04/23 - Nothing D18/V14 - 18/04/23 - Added water and nutes D19/V15 - 19/04/23 - Nothing D20/V16 - 20/04/23 - Added water and pH+ D21/V17 - 21/04/23 - Nothing

This week I performed a fairly heavy defoliation, which opened up the canopy and encouraged strong branching throughout the plant. The response has been excellent, with vigorous new growth and a very even canopy developing across all main tops thanks to the ongoing LST. The structure looks extremely promising, and it appears this will be the final week of vegetative growth before Frostbanger transitions fully into flower next week.

Week 12 Update: Solo Tent, Heatwaves, & GG Curing! Hey everyone! I almost completely missed the Week 12 with all the excitement going on, and I also forgot to snap photos this week, so I'm dropping a video instead to show you the current state of the tent. Here is what's happening: The Gorilla Glue is officially out of the tent! The chop was a success, and after navigating some tricky humidity levels during the dry, she is now safely in jars. The curing process is going perfectly with Integra Boost packs holding a steady 60% RH. I will be making a separate, detailed Harvest Post for the GG very soon with all the final weights and macro shots, so stay tuned for that! With GG gone, Crystal Candy now has the entire tent, all the airflow, and the 150W light entirely to herself. As you can see in the video, she is taking full advantage of it. She is flowering beautifully, the buds are swelling up nicely, and she is marching steadily toward her own harvest window. The biggest struggle right now is the weather. Summer is arriving early here, and the ambient temperatures are pushing my tent up to 32°C (89.6°F) during the day. I am trying my best to counteract it and cool things down, but without much success so far. Despite the heat, CC seems to be taking it like a champ. I'm keeping the fans on max to ensure massive airflow and prevent any mold issues like the minor scare I had with GG. Fingers crossed the heat doesn't cause any foxtailing. She is getting closer every day! ✌️

This week was a lot of fun! I can see the circle that I want starting to form although I know it may not work out exactly how I want. I know these plants do their own thing and you can only do so much.

Great strain! Very simple at all levels and with great results. I harvested 2 plants with 79 days and 2 plants with 83 days. I trim with little work due to the small amount of leaves. uniform, fat and crystallized buds. 505gr of wet buds. they are drying, as soon as they are dry I will update again.After 12 days of drying, 166gr of dried buds. Happy Growings to all 💚🌱💪🙏

@ 1.1-1.4kPa

Smell like sweet and earth

Leaves are starting to yellow / and pistils are burning - I believe I’ve overwatered them slightly trying to flush them the best I could with clean water - this or perhaps my last feeding was to high? The EC was 2.5 . But these signs were increasing for a few weeks . Let’s hope it clears up !
