It's week 5 and she is already looking and smelling amazing! She just seems to get frostier ❄️ by the day and her aroma just keeps getting stronger. I love the terps this girl is throwing out! This week we will lighten up the feeds substantially and get her moving towards harvest. Let's growwww! 📝 Side Note 📝 Irealized my BlueLab Conductivity Meter has the option to switch to EC. Since EC is the most accurate way to measure the nutrient concentration in a solution, I will now be measuring and reporting EC readings rather than PPM. Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. Now, for the weekly break down! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THIS WEEK'S BREAK DOWN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 9/30 - Day 52 & Day 28 of BLOOM °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 📸 PHOTOSHOOT! 📸 🎥 FILMING! 🎥 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 10/2 - Day 54 & Day 30 of BLOOM °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 🚿FEED DAY!🚿 - She received approximately 12 oz of nutrient solution.

Okay vor 5 Tagen Blüte eingeleitet,ist ja 137 cm hoch und 140 cm breit.. Wird ne ordentliche Hydroponic Pflanze die Purple Lemonade von Fast Buds!!

Woooo! I kicked off the first week of the flower by mixing together and applying a topdress consisting of worm castings, biochar, insect frass, kelp meal, neem meal, alfalfa meal, mustard meal, soft rock phosphate, malted barley, palm ash, basalt, rock dust, gypsum, and leonardite. I also added yellow sticky traps to see if there are any bugs around, since I haven’t even seen a single fungus gnat during the entire grow.

She's looking very healthy and strong strong, now we're getting a beautiful bushy shape with a few bud sides as you guys can see, I'm about to flip my lady to flower very soon. Let's see what happens!

29/08 - First day in week 8. The plant had an amazing stretch in just one week! Very pleased to grow this strain. 31/08 - The plant is drinking a lot! Continuing with LST and rotating the pots trying to even the canopy. The stretch continues. 02/09 - Did a heavy cleaning for better energy distribution. Struggling with the RH, very dry here. I'm watering every other day with 2l of water. The stretch continues. 04/09 - Last day in week 8. The plant is stretching well. Did a little research in other diaries from the same strain and seems that the problems that I had in the previous weeks delayed its development by 1.5-2 weeks.

End of week 2 in flowering (day 57 from sprout) and things go well. Made some defoliation and tied up some last stems to keep the plants in the center of the tent lower in hight than the the plants in the edges. I didn't add any fertilizer this week and generally i don't feed often even if my grow is organic. Addititives in the soil before transpalant do the trick. Most of these strains need light to moderate feeding especially in Nitrogen.

This do-si-dos cookies looks really frosty and smells great,I'm pretty happy about this strain. It's what I was expecting I'm only using organic feeding,guanokalong nutrients work absolutely great for me.

A lot of growth in one week. Let's see some bud branches.

Some nice colours coming through on the buddha , should be another week and then harvest 👌. Laughing Buddha Barneys Farm! sf 4000 4x4 advanced nutrients

originally 60g all in all dry before final trim - 49g trimmed dense and icy buds really pack a punch with that sweet berry aroma that'll hit you in the face and the effects are good for me too. Uplifting energy while smoking that with a deep relaxation right after

58 days in the books. Scheduled for knee surgery on the 10th so harvest on this girl may be coming sooner than I had hoped. My next diary will be 1 Big Bud and 1 Agent orange who have both been vegging the last 3+months. Gave them a lollipop hair cut 1 week ago. Both are recovering nicely. Anywho, happy gardening 🌱🙏🤘🖖✌️ ¤ With the help of my amazing lady friend the grow goes on. She will be aiding me in the 3 waterings (flush) to get this girl to the 10 week mark! Resin and trichomes are progressing from clear milky to milky amber.

Week 5 of flower and seed production for all these plants has started in earnest. We cleaned up the tent somewhat and took down all the males after having done their job. Alls left is to wait for finish now. The nute deficiency appears to have corrected itself now that we’ve balanced out the ratios a little more. The WPM is no match for the sodium bicarbonate but still gonna have to keep on top of that to the end of the grow. Full fumigation of the grow spaces will be required - multi-day process I am not looking forward to. Time cleaning is time not growing, sadly. We’re coasting to the finish now but should still have some decent updates on our super secret seed harvesting method once they’ve fully matured😉👍. Hope everyone’s well and grow’n that straight 🔥. Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

Saludos mis amigos! Muchas felicidades en estos días navideños y salud por el buen tiempo que pasamos a los nuestros. Por aca les dejo el proceso, sigo nutriendo solo con agua, pero en estos días usare solo RECHARGE para así darle un toquecito adicional. Me gusta ese producto, me ha hido muy bien con el. Siguen creciendo los masos de moñas, se tornan cada vez mas color vino, rojizo. contentas, olorosas, frutoso... les comento que es como cuando te pasan una barra de STARBURST POR LA NARIZ... JAJAJA! 😇 disculpen la analogía, pero literal es como les comunico. MUUUy contento ésta navidad con los resultados. Seguimos creciendo, deseando que les valla mejor, un abrazo... BUENOS HUMOS!

Whorled Phyllotaxy-Hawaiian Snow auto Outside 2026- @GanjaFarmer 5/31-6/6 W4F1 Hawaiian Snow Auto loves our weather. This week it’s been in the upper 70s to mid-80s with some rain, so I watered once on 6/4 using our well water on my outside gardens. She started flowering this week and had a big stretch of 7 inches. She is now 21 inches tall. I hope she stays manageable since she is supposed to be tall, which is unusual for an autoflower. I had a difficult time with my last group that exceeded 90 inches. She has good node separation, giving space around the buds for air flow. She should tolerate our hot and humid weather since she is 95% sativa and test how well she demonstrates mold and disease resistance. Her growth pattern continues to have 3 bud sites at each node. At the first 2 nodes the shoots were even but on the third node, the shoots started to stagger. Growth period is 10-12 weeks for Hawaiian Snow. Given that the buds are just forming, I expect harvest mid to late August. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Servus Moin! Man sieht bei der Hawaiian Rainbows, dass sie noch ein wenig nachreift. Sie macht ein super soliden Eindruck und bekommt jetzt noch 2 Tage Licht. Dannach 2 Tage Dunkelheit und dann wird sie im Zelt aufgehangen.

Just water

Y es el turno de las resionosisimas Lebron Haze. Hermosas plantas, ya te siento cerca tu colocón!

Nice plant with big buds. Smells sweet.

Il est grand temps que je coupe ! Magnifique pied 🤯
