Plant is doing fine, just a few issues with pests so I had to remove infected leafs but no big deal. Plant is 90 cm high and stopped growing, I think anonther 2 or 3 weeks to harvest. Had to support is with a bamboo stick because the top is getting heavy and its quite windy at night on my balcony. I posted some random pictures and videos from the last few weeks, hope you like them.

Everything going quiet well. Watering 2-3 days 2 liters per plant

I messed up my weeks. Correct at week 7.

I believe I have two weeks left. Trichomes are cloudy, see a spot of amber here and there. Love the couch lock, so waiting for more amber. Limey Skunky smells are strong. Bud shape is like a small pine cone. I have more seeds, so I will definitely search for a mom, after one more harvest.

Finalizando el proceso solo con agua. Lavado de raíces y comienza la cosecha! Veremos que resultado nos da el esfuerzo y el cuidado de las FastBuds. Se agregaron unas Black Cream al proceso para aprovechar un vegetativo para lanzarlas al exterior.

We immediately trim on-site and place the buds into vacuum bags for clothes for transportation. These bags with a pump are very convenient; it's best to use several bags: for example, fill a regular thick black bag with stuff, and then put this black bag into a vacuum bag to avoid punctures from branches. For working with the buds, we got "snippers" — as it turns out, these are very convenient scissors for our task. It's a real pleasure to work with them. The density of the buds is generally good, considering that this is wild outdoor cultivation in a fairly humid climate. P.S. After 4 hours of trimming, we were exhausted and just ended up removing the fan leaves and non-sugary leaves.

The tropicana cherry is a magnificent plant. Its stocky and stout with really great node space. I love how solid she is and i just see such a good foundation for stretch. A really explosive week of growth. I pushed PPFD up to 310umols. Dimmers are at 60% which is drawing 224w plus 18w of DRRB. I have alos started Emerson effect ... Another The Emerson effect is triggered by the simultaneous exposure of plants to light in the deep red and far-red spectra Deep Red 660 nm /Far-Red 700 nm . A bit of boring science that explains why you need both far red and deep red in order to trigger Emerson. The effect occurs because photosynthesis is driven by two distinct pigment systems working in series:Photosystem II (PSII): Absorbs energy most efficiently at shorter wavelengths (higher frequencies), like 680 nm (441 THz). Photosystem I (PSI): Absorbs energy most efficiently at longer wavelengths (lower frequencies), specifically 700 nm (428 THz). When you provide only the higher frequency (deep red), PSI becomes a bottleneck. When you provide only the lower frequency (far-red), PSII is not sufficiently excited to provide electrons. Providing both frequencies simultaneously allows both systems to work at peak efficiency, resulting in a rate of photosynthesis that is greater than the sum of the two lights used individually. To understand the Emerson Effect, think of photosynthesis not as a single engine, but as a two-stage assembly line. What is the Emerson Effect? Discovered by Robert Emerson in 1957, this phenomenon shows that plants perform photosynthesis much more efficiently when they are hit by two specific types of light at the same time: Deep Red (660 nm) and Far-Red (700+ nm). If you give a plant only Far-Red light, photosynthesis is very slow. If you give it only Deep Red, it's better but still limited. However, when you give it both at once, the total rate of photosynthesis is significantly higher than if you just added the two results together (1+1=3). What is Happening? (The "Assembly Line") Inside the plant's chloroplasts, there are two "workstations" called Photosystem II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI). They work in series, meaning the first one must pass "parts" to the second one. PSII (The First Station): This station is tuned to catch Deep Red light (660 nm). It harvests electrons from water. PSI (The Second Station): This station is tuned to catch Far-Red light (700 nm). It takes the electrons from the first station and uses them to create energy (ATP and NADPH). The Problem: If you only provide Deep Red light, the first station works fast, but the second station can't keep up because it isn't being "powered" efficiently by that specific frequency. This creates a traffic jam of electrons. The Solution: By adding Far-Red light, you power up the second station. It now "pulls" the electrons from the first station much faster, clearing the traffic jam and making the whole assembly line run at full speed. The Benefits for The Grow Because i am using the Biotabs water-only method, my plants already have a steady supply of organic nutrients. Implementing the Emerson Effect offers several distinct advantages: Increased Biomass: Because the "engine" is running faster, the plant produces more sugars and carbohydrates, leading to heavier fruits or flowers. Faster Finishing: Plants often reach maturity sooner because they have more surplus energy to complete their life cycle. Better Light Penetration: Far-Red light is very good at passing through the upper leaves. This "wakes up" the lower parts of the plant that would otherwise be shaded, allowing the whole plant to contribute to growth. Enhanced Secondary Metabolites: In many crops, this synergistic light can stimulate the production of terpenes and antioxidants, improving the "quality" (smell, taste, and potency) of the final harvest. The "Sunrise/Sunset" Trick I am using 4x Invisible sun Far red/Deep red bars,they use high-quality Samsung LH351H (660nm Deep Red) and specific Far-Red (730nm) diodes for 10–15 minutes at the start or end of the light cycle. This mimics the natural shift in light at sunrise and sunset, "waking up" the photosystems or signaling the plant to go into "sleep mode" faster, which can further optimize the flowering cycle. Enviromentally i am chasing a VPD of about 1,1kpa. My room seem to sit nicely at lights on at 24c with no real drama and a little help from a 220W greenhouse bar radiator. Its using abot 4kw/h a day atm because my room is attached to the side of my house and its been -5c.. I have had to add some humidity as its also very dry atm. Im aiming for RH of 65% with my 24c but it is more around the 62s.. VPD is crucial and is the focus for this grow for me. The autopots and Biotabs make it so easy ican really just focus on perfect enviroment. A VPD of 1.0–1.2 kPa provides enough "atmospheric pull" to move calcium and magnesium up from the roots, which is critical for the rapid cell division happening now.. Plants will be flipped on Saturday which is their week 5 as im a bit behind.. As this happens i will push PPFD upto 4-500umols. by week 2 of flower. Thats the plan anyway..

DAY 28 : Hi all , hope your past week has been a positive one with lots of love and affection. I am at the point now where flowering should be starting to show throughout the plants usually. Their are many tiny white pistil hairs showing their female genetics across the bracts of them all now so it looks like flowering has begun !!!! The FC3000 has really given them plenty of light on their perfect spectrum to develop those nice fat fan leaves and now will no doubt take them through a great flowering period. It doesnt produce much heat at all and you can touch it for a while and still not feel too much heat. Ideal for stealthy gardens.. The Tip Spreading has been continued up to this point and it is clear to see how it works on keeping the heights down. By using additional l.s.t that wont slow growth down like the leaf tucking and threading the growing tips above the larger fan leaves that are still being used like solar factories producing copious amounts of food for the developing growth tips. The stems on the majority are nice and thick from the close stacking of the nodes and their is very little popcorn to remove from lower down. I will be keeping them all as open as I can now that we are going into the stretch periods pre flower. The potential is there now to create very chunky bud stacks but I think the Strawberry Pie have ideas of bursting out more . ! They are certainly all a lot more happy than the bonsai Mexican that has emerged in #1. Still very short and half the size ( or less!) than her sister in the next bed. She looks happy and healthy now but her initial shock at the soils make up had a negative impact very early on. Overall it has been a good week for their tip spreading l.s.t and setting them up for flowering and I hope that our next update will be the bud porn early stages. Be well and prosperous growmies

Oh my goodness - STICKY ICKY!!! Gassy sweet citrusy on the nose — just a gentle touch leaves fingers sticky and smelly as if you just opened an orange peel dunked in gas This plant is a true winner this cycle. Responded to my training and all the classic noobie stressor I threw at it including overall growing it in just a 5 gallon pot. Thanks for checking my grow out!! I can’t promise you all of my grows will be this photogenic LOL Now I also know - bag seeds are like winning the lotto

After finding a couple of unseen spots of mold while chopping I meticulously went through every single crevice of each nug from both plants and removed the few spots I found, this took about 10 hours straight (not including light trim and wash). Absolutely stoked with the results of this grow and so proud to have gotten both these girls all the way to the finish line!

Happy with the result when i started with a seed. Mother : 100gr dried Clone 1: 70gr dried Clone 2 + 3: 90gr dried

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Seedsman, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Genetica che non ha bisogno di presentazione fantastica di sapore e di odore.. SUPER CONSIGLIATA Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

Grow Diary: Week 8 – Training and Sunlight Transitions The Durban Poison quartet is hitting its stride this week. Looking at the latest photos and video, it’s clear that the training regimen is paying off. The focus of Week 8 has been "Low Stress, High Reward" as the plants prepare for their final move. Plant Progress: Structural Integrity The visual profile of DP1, DP4, DP5, and DP6 is looking fantastic. The foliage is a thick, vibrant green, and the node spacing is tight, indicating they are getting optimal light levels. Training Technique: The colored LST stakes (red, yellow, and green) are doing a great job of pulling the main stems and secondary branches down. This is creating a level canopy, ensuring that no single "top" is hogging all the sun. Leaf Profile:You can really see those classic Sativa fan leaves coming in—long, slender fingers that are starting to overlap. Root Health:** The main stalks are thickening up nicely, showing good woody strength that will be necessary once they are in the larger 25-gallon bags. The "Defensive Perimeter" Status** The video and photos show the African Marigolds are making great progress in their Solo cups. Current State: They are showing multiple sets of true leaves and look ready for their supporting role. Placement: Having them staged right next to the DP plants on the deck ensures they are already familiarizing themselves with the local environment before the big transplant. The Indoor/Outdoor Rotation The photos highlight the flexibility of the current setup. Sun Chasing: The plants were captured both under the supplemental indoor lighting and out on the deck. This "hardening off" process is crucial for preventing leaf scorch when they eventually move outside full-time. Mobility: The use of the various pots and the proximity to the garden furniture shows how easy it is to shuffle these girls around to catch the best rays or find shelter from the wind. Observations & Nutrition The soil looks well-aerated with a healthy amount of wood-based organic matter. The plants aren't showing any signs of "clawing" or nutrient burn, which means the current organic feeding schedule is hitting the "sweet spot." Next Steps: 1. The Big Move: All eyes are on the upcoming transplant. The plants are definitely reaching the limit of their current containers. 2. Monitoring: Keep an eye on the LST stakes; as the stems thicken, we’ll want to ensure the wire isn't cutting into the "skin" of the stalks. 3. Hydration: With the plants getting larger and the Colorado air staying dry, we'll be watching the soil moisture closely to ensure the microbes stay happy. -Keep growing and stay mindful ✌️

11/3 - Today is technically the first day of Week 5 and also the first day I could see a visible drop in her water level since her last check-in (~12 hours apart). As a result, her ppms shot up to around 800. I diluted the solution with straight tap (7.5pH, 170ppm) since her pH was registering around 5.3. This brought her up to 5.6pH and 670ppm (1.0ec + tap, 500ppm of nutrients). I would have liked to adjust her pH more, but the water level ended up at the bottom of the basket. I'll adjust further as necessary. The other day while attempting to LST her top branches, they ended up snapping off, so I just topped her down one node and broadened her other LST to make her as squat as possible. Once I am able to find a suitable individual ScrOG screen, I will put it on her. 11/4 - I wasn't even planning on doing an update today, but I want to note a few changes. The first of which is a visible difference between her foliage density in a span of 36 hours. Her root bundle is over a foot long and getting more wound up every day. I removed her LST ties in order to take advantage of the ScrOG screen apparatus (see notes below). After lights came back on, she measured 645ppm and had another notable drop in water level. Currently, I am preparing another nutrient solution that closely matches what she is feeding on now. I will be upgrading her to a 5 gallon bucket. I will be aiming for 1ec of nutrients/additives (500ppm + Tap on my meter, Hanna Primo .5 conversion). Tap measured 180ppm, so target ppm would be 680. Later that same day... So I finished upgrading her to a 5 gallon bucket before I actually got done writing the update. Added one photo showing new 5 gallon setup. Solo ScrOG test mk1 - In an attempt to do a ScrOG, but maintain control over each bucket, while still having relatively easy access to each reservoir, I decided to throw together this little contraption. I removed the lowest complete segment of a tomato cage, leaving a short "tail" beyond the lower ring to act as a peg to insert into corresponding holes in the lid. The lower ring is 10" in diameter and the upper is approximately 12" in diameter. Each ring is 11" apart. I would prefer to have a shorter segment, but I haven't worked out exactly how to do this yet. I would prefer to set the screen height at around 6" above the bucket instead of 11". This will have to suffice for the time being while I let my latent conscious work out a solution or one is provided by the community. Above each cage will sit a coated wire fence with grids measuring ~2"x3", as shown in the above picture. 11/5 - Uploaded short video showing Solo ScrOG Apparatus in place. Screen height currently set to 6". Thanks for stopping by my garden, and, as always, Happy Growing!
