43 dias de vida en el proyecto B. También se estan estirando bastante aunque se nota la diferencia con el proyecto A ya que en este no hay macetas y estan directas al suelo, aunque las geneticas se ven iguales en ambos se puede diferenciar la rubostidad que estan cogiendo en el Proyecto A

Hello. this is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of veg. What good luck... I've got 7 females and 1 good male out of 9 plants. I killed 1 male and 1 seed didn't pop. Things are going well... The last undecided plant turned out to be a female. So I'm already to repot them and put them in the tent. I've got a 5x5 tent with a Spider Farmer Light, SF4000 in there. I think I'll have to get more soilless soil. I use Sunshine Mix #4. I usually get 4 bales to get me through a year. Lots of big spiders in my yard this year. The bees are sure taking a beating though. I haven't seen one in days. No wasps or mosquitos too. Hope your enjoying the comics. Have Fun. Chuck.

Welcome to week 25 of my bubba slush diary Genetics by Greenhouse seed co. Welcome to my 2nd diary within diary. The first diary is already harvested. The second one has been in veg for about 20 weeks, while it was in veg, i trained it with lst and hst, now we are a in flowering for a couple of weeks. Third diary will come within this diary too, i took a monstercrop clone, it's revegging now, curious of the outcome, since this strain already has tight internodes on the branches. Buds packing, smell is dank This week again some green sensation And ghe (terra aquatica) pro bloom. Also added some new pictures of the revegging monstercrop clone. No weird deformation in leaves, so.e yellowing leaves showing, that means that another bunch of roots have been settled.

Harvest was on Day 80 from Seed Second run with this strain and she more than passed expectations! I thought the buds were big last go round but holy sh*t are they ever big this time around! And just packed with crystals, seriously can't wait to try this round and compare vs last round. The switch to Autopots was a huge improvement in my grow. Plants double the size of last time and I'm betting 30-50% more yield after dry and cute. Nice not having to water every day or two, gives you more time to focus on other aspects of growing and life. Maybe partially why the better outcome, more time spent on plant maintenance vs just watering. Was pretty impressed with the diameter of the stalk vs the size of the hole water moves through. These girls were pushing a LOT of water and you can tell when you see how hollow the stalks are. Despite that they were strong as ever. Never had a branch snap or bend, and I didn't use any plant support this go around. Was pretty impressed with trichomes production this time around as well. Buds were just packed and sticky AF while being so dense that they barely compress when squeezed. Also both plants went quite dark/purple in the end this go around where last run they were lighter like #1 was to start. Got a couple seeds left of this strain, will be saving them for once I eventually run out of bud. Really like the taste and effects from this strain, want to keep it around long as I can since I didn't see it listed any more on the breeders page 🤔

The stretch has started. We are on day 7 since I flipped to 12 12 light schedule. 12/28/2017 was the day we started the lights on 12 hours. I did let her sit in 24 hours of darkness which she seemed to do fine in. I have had to top off the resovouir twice she is a thirsty girl. No stress signs from the increase in nutrients. I will be lowering the amount given after a few day flush in the next week. I only increase for the transition this was something I was shown a few years back by another grower and has not let me down. I will stick to the flora trio by GH. I do not add anything else like bud fatteners as some people call them. I am a firm believer they are not needed. This is just my opinion on the matter.

Things are going good.... POOL is FULL..... I have transplanted everything in the greenhouse. Some in soil.... I know soil??? Wtf have I lost my mind.... Banner 1,2, and 3 have not shown sex... so we will wait... Slurricane is pretty... but small... her clone's 2 are in soil.. 1 is in perlite, and it is in a circle. I did it for fun because she is a B***H... Haha no strings attached..... We wait on Fire OG, and Foul Mouth both are female... we are waiting for some flowers to arrive. I'm starting to flush Shiskaberry and Blue Gelato 41. Today ... I'm smoking the Gorilla Zkittles.... I am really pleased with taste and high. In the greenhouse flowering right now is 6 strains.... mostly clones... but 8 separate pheno's... fuck I'm even confused... hahaha..everything is labled.... most have dates on them... I will have to try to go back on foul mouth and fire OG to find out when I started flowering them..... shit.... I will know when there done... hahahahahaha I have so much in veg... 25 plants.. 14 strains... so like I said... "The Pool is Full"...... I transplanted all my sprouts... which adds the following: Citrus Farmer .... 3 Critical Kush .... 1 Tahoe Kush .... 2 so far.. 1 may still sprout 🙏 Spliff's Strawberry ....2 CBD Spliff Berry.... 2 Everyone else is fine... I might have missed someone... Oh..... Diesel Fire OG, and Sour Fire Kush are all fine. And the other Spliff's are coming along.... Purple Berry Kush and Moon Walker Kush. Also Strawberry Lemonade.. Shit there is too much..... 👊😎 Dam this is a little to much... LMFAO

Hey good morning Growers hope all is well with everyone and their family and plants Well there’s a lot going on over here at the 48219 Krud Buddy’s Grow House I found out when I transplanted my Wedding cake and Sherbertlato I put them into super soil I feed them twice lightly thank god cause I don’t have any burns or anything n their growing good to me everything is growing good to me way better than the auto flowers I started with but I did some cloning of my own and I’m loving how their taking on as well So here’s what’s going on strain by strain Gorilla Cookies & Peanutbutter Breath : as of Today April 25th they are on day 60 since I got them and have been sitting in the dark since last night for their 24hrs of darkness before flip to flower starting tomorrow morning thinking a good timing would b from 6/6 or 7/7 also I have them under my 600w budget led hanging 12’ above I can’t wait to see how they out and I have them under an scrog net I made Wedding Cake & Peanutbutter Breath: on May 5th it’ll be 60 days since I’ve had them I pretty much told everything bout them at the beginning Grape Pie & Girl Scout Cookies: it’s Been about 3 weeks And I must say they stretched fast their already 15’ tall the grape Pie is spreading faster any of the other clones I got I’m loving it I recently got Cherry Pie & Guava Cake x Cookie it’s bout week one going on two weeks and I must say when I got them I was kinda skeptical about them because they were so weak looking and the cuts on them were terrible but they look like they might turn out into something amazing idk but the pictures show it all as well as the clones I cut myself in clear plastic cups ands their on their second week of life I noticed roots on the 10th and put into cups on the 11th if I’m not mistaken I’m not around my chart so I’m not for sure but everything is going swell over here to me

Jour42 defolliation and LST Jour45 defolliation Jour47 arrosage avec de l'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 1ml par litre d'eau de topmax biobizz La plante entre maintenant en floraison c'est donc le début du stretch Explication en anglais (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common. May the force be with you 💪

Day 69 (March 6th) Just gave everyone their last watering. I’m going to harvest and wash everything tomorrow night on day 70. I‘m not going to do that whole 48 hours of darkness thing because I didn’t see a difference last time I did it. In fact, it made my plant under watered before drying which caused it to dry too fast. Slurricane and cheese will be washed with h2o2 and the rest will just be rinsed off in warm RO water and hung up. Before and after washing I’m going to go over each branch with a flashlight and make sure there is no dog hair or debris in or on the buds. I will be drying in my spare bathroom (that no one uses!) from hangers. Aiming to keep it around 60-62F and 50-60 RH. Hoping for that 10-12 day dry. I wanted to do a full plant hang but the tent got pretty dirty and I would feel more comfortable just cutting and rinsing everything off branch by branch. I’m going to try my best to keep the full plant intact. Got my humidifier hooked up and running RO water because with tap water it deposits calcium and lime all over the buds and walls. For air flow I’m just indirectly running a small usb fan. I’m not worried about air flow in the bathroom honestly. It stays nice and breezy down there anyway. Got the food grade peroxide and RO water to wash up the slurricane and cheese. Everything except for the cheese and garlic#1 is looking more than done. Trichomes all look pretty well done. Some of them have even burst open. Smells are all super ripe and mature too. Can’t wait to smell each individually in jars. Next week I will recap what went wrong and what I will do differently next time to keep it from happening again. (Day 70F) Just got everything chopped, washed and hanging. The vast majority of the PM was washed out but I can still see very small amounts. When they dry out I can shake the branches a bit to get the rest off. At very least it’s sterile now. There is no question I lost some potency while washing but the amount is negligible for a much cleaner product. I could see lots of dirt and other debris float to the surface of the water after being washed. And no those are not trichomes, those sink to the bottom. I could put that nasty water through a bubble bag and wouldn’t get all that much. Although it probably does remove a lot of the actual trichomes heads. I’ll have to check with the microscope. Everything is rigged up for a nice slow dry. Temp is sitting at 64 and RH is at a nice 60%.
