ALL of the color came back, I removed the last of the yellow leaves and will feed the plant one last round of Gaia green power bloom before flushing. About a month left.

I did a bit more defoliation and spread out the SCROG net to give everything some more structure and space. The plants are developing beautifully and looking really healthy overall. The cuttings are also making progress, with some of them already starting to develop roots. For now, I gave them another round of foliar feeding, and soon it will be time to move on to the next phase and switch them into flower. Overall, everything is looking very promising.

Day 51 20/08/24 Tuesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. With Plagron PK13-14 and power buds. Noticing the stretch stop, and now packing out there bud sites 💪💚 ACOP , Melonade Runtz have Xmas tree structure where as orange bud is pure tall sativa structure... The Overdose is a compact indica looking dwarf but the bud sites are packing out a punch 👊🤣 Day 54 23/08/24 Friday Watering only today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, I'm watering in 350ml no run off. 400ml I'm seeing tiny run off. Day 56 25/08/24 Sunday Water today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Added bud candy and rhino skin 1ml per litre

There are two clearly differentiated phenotypes, but they are all beautiful plants.

Another good week.

Gelly Cream Cake & Slurricane #7 S1 from seeds Platinum S1 & King Sherbet are clones Gelly Cream Cake & Slurricane #7 S1 techniques were used: Topping + LST + Defoliation Platinum S1 & King Sherbet techniques were used: LST + Defoliation

I pour the beet by Hand. Every two days like 5%-10% of the total soil amount. Today (12.5.) is 28.Day of flower (55-70 Days total) Lamps are on 600w the top of the flowers have 600-800ppfd Vpd is 1.2-1.3

flowers of excellent quality full of resin, I washed the roots 10 days before harvest, obtaining an even cleaner flavor.

First week of flowering. There’s too much vegetation I might prune the branches that don’t produce flowers. The pistils have appeared, so I guess the buds will start developing soon.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la decim semana de floración de estas Rainbow Melón feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros que además provocó un shock que también solucione. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/24 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las flores están bien prietas y resinosas, sacan unos aromas muy fuertes que no logro describir así, está acabando de madurar, los tonos que se marca son increíbles, no veas como se han puesto. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

7/19 Rained all last night. Weather report says it will be rainy for several days. I "suited up" did some slight defoliation and fed two gallons to the garden. Still need to apply BT and get inside and prune with clippers. I'm hesitant due to this huge rash but I need to find a way to do this. Plants look good just need to be cleaned up. 7/20 No water as it's been pretty rainy. Thunderstorms tonight and rain tomorrow. I'll have to wait to apply either Spinosid or BT (as a preventative). I took down the tarps on the back. The wind isn't bad. Usually it's like a wind tunnel but I think this was the right decision. They are still attached at the bottom so the cam go back up quick if high winds come. Considering top dressing with cow manure. It's what I have on hand. I also need to find time to defoliate inside the plants. I'll have to do it when it's wet I guess to avoid the moths. I saw nests at my girlfriend's house on a bunch of apple trees so maybe I got this rash there. I hope so. 7/21 I watered despite some of the soil being damp. It MIGHT rain today but even if it does it wouldn't REALLY give my plants the water they are used to. I also cut some branches inside the plants. I have a lot more to do though. I found a brown-tail moth caterpillar crawling on the soil of one of those buckets outside my cage. Leaving his little poisonous hairs behind. I killed it with fire. I'll update after I spray and/or prune. Humidity is 98% today 70 degrees at 9am. "I'm going to need a bigger boat." 7/22 I put the tarps back up after finding the tall unsupported plant looked all blown over. I removed it from the cage. It's a 30 gallon tote so it opened up my area a little more. I watered this morning as it's supposed to be a nice sunny hot day. Later I plan to LST that seedling that I just left in the 30 gallon tote and kinda neglected. At least I didn't show it the love I had the clones. It's in reveg as well (the only one) and I'm questioning whether it might have a better home elsewhere. I'll check it out when I go for my evening inspection. Looks like possible thunderstorms tonight so I don't know if spraying is feasible. Thank you to all who have been following and helping me on this journey. Much cooler than it has been 65 degrees at 10:30am. 7/23 Watered this morning. I also did some defoliation and pruned lower limbs. I need a night without rain so I can continue with my IPM. I see pillar damage so it will probably be BT that I use. I weed Wacked around the cage this morning and was planning to feed but I ran out of time. The girls will have to wait until tomorrow to eat. The garden looks very healthy as a whole. Slight issues here and there but nothing an outdoor grower wouldn't expect. It's been a great year for growing cannabis thus far! I'll do another video once I get the cage weed Wacked. 7/24 Watered slightly before I Fed two gallons to the garden. Still have leaves turning yellow and falling off but I think its normal. At least the same thing happened the last two years right around this time. Plants have EXPLODED in growth and look great. The stretch is real. I took a minute video that might or might not upload. Took a few pictures too. Internet is pretty slow so I'll probably have to upload pics tomm. Reached the 80s today. Nice and sunny. Oh and walking down to the garden is like getting punched in the face by a skunk lol. The smell is incredible. 7/25 No water as it is supposed to rain today and they drank pretty good yesterday. Still need to defoliate a bit. A few of the seedlings are reveging. That's ok though. I hate seeing leaves die but looking at my previous diary (and the paper one before that) it seems to happen the same time of year right when the stretch starts. For the most part the garden is in preflower so I may start the next week as flower. I also STILL need to spray preventative. I don't really have a problem (besides slight pm and a few random critters but hey it's outdoors) but I need to keep up with the IPM. Im super happy with progress this far.

6 settimana di fiori e tutto procede bien

After another weekend spent away from home, on day 26 both Opiums present at 30 cm height, having grown big and bushy. Their thirst increased, I will water them when their next day starts. And do some more LST. Not too long until I can install the scrogging net. I am really impressed by their progress. They developed a lot of branching side branches and look really healthy and bushy. In contrast to what I wrote before, I think I can stay a few days longer with the current 80% 18/6 lighting scheme. Leaf positions do not show signs of light hunger, so no reason to change. Watered them with 1.5 l each on their 27th morning, this time adding some flower fertilisers too. Compensated their relief with some more LST. I can see in timelapse video they are tmelselves compensating this stress easily; it’s amazing to see how fast they turn their heads. You’ll see soon too. For reference: Pot diameter is approx. 25 cm. So lady #1 spreads about this much, lady #2 is even about 10 cm more. Guess they’ll make a very dense scrog surface, but first let’s have them have their stretch. Day 28 evening revealed ladies are getting thirstier. The holey pots might be helpful in root development, but they are not when it comes to keeping the tent clean. Because of their structure, water runs out in respectable quantities each time they are fed, which takes a long time to evaporate and adds to air humidity of course. Which on the other hand is currently quite ok. Outside air temperatures are around 30 °C the last days, so a bit more humidity helps to keep the VPD in range. Which is quite ok as I still cannot complain about their growth – around 2–3 cm each day currently. Grow video for day 28 (sorry about the interferences! Due to the control hard- & software being offline I cannot silence the blower(s) when a photo is taken anymore) shows steady growth and very vivid movements again. Dropping of their leaves around their evening is possibly due to me watering them again as soil was surprisingly dry already. On their day 29 evening, it’s clear to see how much they are stretching: They really gained 5 cm since yesterday! Lights are close to 30 cm, so I think I’ll reposition things a bit when their next week starts. Attached video shows the day’s progress. They say you cannot scrog an Automatic but seeing the development speed and bushiness I decided to give it a try nonetheless. I guess the buds can profit from being a bit more apart from each other if I handle to fiddle them through the holes in time. I rearranged the lights to be at about 45 cm apart from the tops and set the lights to 100% at a 16/8 lighting scheme, waking them up one hour later than before and sending them to sleep one hour earlier. Last day of this week, day 30, shows that growth speed has even increased. Lady 1 crosses the scrog net already which is positioned at 46 cm above soil. Gave them slightly enhanced water again, 2 l each.

Getting rid of more yellowish leaves, I dont know is it because of the extreme heat or the ppm but yeah at least the plant is HUGE haha

In start week 4 flowering! Doing well! Starting to fatten out now! The 2 smaller ones are Bruce banner and are 2 weeks behind the rest in flower!

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

Week started 27/09 Still losing lots of leaves per day (due to yellowing). #3 doesn't have anymore fan leaves and some bud leaves are looking droopy. I'm hoping they will make it through to harvest without the need to spray Neem. Getting some Nematodes this week to put into the soil in case it turns out I have root aphids. The indoor setup was complete this week and the plants are now growing indoors full time. Still having problems maintaining heat in the tent without the humidity rising very high. I'm stopping the extraction fan at various intervals to raise the temp of the room but the humidity levels shoot towards 90% with the lights on. #1 30/09 - 25ml/5L Flores at pH6.3. 03/10 - 25ml/5L Flores and PK 13/14 at pH6.5 #2 28/09 - 25ml/5L Flores at pH6.1. Runoff measured at pH5.9, EC 1.11ms 03/10 - 25ml/5L Flores and PK 13/14 at pH6.5 - developing some nice colas. #3 30/09 - 25ml/5L Flores at pH6.3. 03/10 - 25ml/5L Flores and PK 13/14 at pH6.5 - whilst it has lost a majority of its leaves, there is a nice cola forming at the top. #4 30/09 - 25ml/5L Flores at pH6.3. 03/10 - 25ml/5L Flores and PK 13/14 at pH6.5 The White Widow looks like will be ready in a couple of weeks. That was the last feed.
