June 1st A lot of indecision regarding when to take her down to begin drying, so I haven't updated for a little longer than usual. I thought I'd be updating this grow with drying/harvest photos by now, but the trichomes just aren't there yet. The plant is beginning to look a little worse for wear, especially thanks to the main cola drying out and dying after being found to be full of mold. That's another reason I've felt ready to take her down, but after some thought I realise that just means I'm ready, not that the plant itself is. We're still turning final, but I'm dialing things in for the final spurt of trichome development. Light schedule is now 11 on 13 off. Watering is still frequent, which apparently indicates a plant in full production. I'm going to take care to let the pot dry out completely while avoiding a big droop, and I've also decided to remove nutes and water without anything other than pH amendment. According to a little research larger plants operate slightly differently when it comes to the maturation process, meaning a longer term to fully mature. While the RQS data sheet suggests something like 65 days for flower, in reality it might look something like 90. Patience is the thing here, so it's all down to the trichomes at this point, which are still mostly clear, with a small percentage of cloudy/amber. As soon as we're in an obviously milky majority, she's coming down. Fingers crossed as always!

Yoyoyo.... Another BM update: Its week 7 and they are looking good... Buds are bulking up now and its almost time to defoliage and let the light shine thru to the bottom buds. I am going to wait another few days before I defoliage this mother. Will update more soon. Happy growing, BM 4TweentY

Hey My 420 Friends. Very cruisey week this week,kicking back watching our Purple Princesses popping out more purples and bulking heavier day by day.Changed watering schedule to flush with ph adjusted water and dropping the nutrients.I also measured light and have lowered the Mars TSW2000 to get a higher Par reading but they are still at around 35-40 Cm from the light.Some girls branches needed abit of stretching to let lower light in and get more light and air distribution.I have also staked some for heavy bud support.Have got some close up photos of chromes….The girls are teasing me with there Trichromes,and heck I’m sure there not ready to go but there flirting with beautiful trichromes and just delicious smell of sweet Terps,PURPLE LEMONADE Flowers.This strain is my new favourite.Goodbye Purple Grand Daddy,We have a NEW Purple Power House around.😎🌱🤜🏼🤛🏼😊🍁💨🚬 https://growdiaries.com/grower/420highlifecouple https://youtube.com/channel/UCKvjJ_S8nRI2wTc4cx_O1KQ https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=616a33e294e50 With every order you will get a free seed Join the community on GROWDIARIES It’s a awesome place to meet cool people, document your grow and learn a lot from fellow growers, happy growing 😊🌱

Hello growers, Vegetative Week 8 – Pineapple Upside Down (Round 2) This week can clearly be described as explosive in terms of vegetative growth. After allowing the plant to fully recover last week without any additional pruning, the rebound is now very visible. Growth has accelerated, foliage density has increased significantly, and overall vigor looks strong and healthy. The plant began rebushing rapidly, with tight internodes and solid structural development. Because of that renewed strength, a structural pruning session was carried out this week. The canopy was cleaned up and reset to maintain airflow and prepare the plant for future shaping. The current objective is to let the selected branches extend further before initiating low-stress training. LST will begin once there is sufficient length to properly guide the plant into its final structure. At this stage, everything looks stable. Recovery has been clean, growth is consistent, and the plant appears strong. Overall, this week marks a clear turning point in the vegetative phase. See you next week. Take care.

Day 73, 25th of November 2020: Red Mandarine still not red unfortunately.... hope she will be lol. There is no any issue at all all good not much to report. Let's say we are half way. Buds on the way just need to wait to be done :) Fertilization is still the same every second day with the rationand mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

Added yellow sticky fly traps to all cubes as a preventative measure to avoid infestation of fungus gnats. So far none have been spotted. Defoliated and did a little more LST to all the plants to open up the center and give more light to lower shoots. Blue Dream 3 and Chemdawg 3 started showing some discoloration on the leaves (yellowing around the veins) and also the leaf tips curling down. Did some research and came up with this... Possible diagnosis: - Yellowing around leaf veins could be a sign of Magnesium or Iron deficiency - Leaf tip curling down could be a sign of Nitrogen Toxicity. - Both could be caused by improper ph balance in water Possible solutions: - Applied Botanicare CalMag+ as a foliar feed and added some to the reservoir. CalMag+ contains Calcium, Magnesium and Iron. - Diluted nutrients in reservoir to lower amount of nitrogen being fed to plants. Was feeding them at 1300ppm, lowered it to 1050ppm - Tested runoff and saw it was coming out at 5.4pH so I increased the pH in the reservoir to 6.0. Now the runnoff is testing at 5.7pH, meaning that my rootzone is in the optimal range of 5.5-5.8 Well wait and see how the plants react to these slight tweaks. Hopefully we start to see a nice healthy even green again.

Great week! She grew 10in and responds well to the full dose of nutes. Cut back on the Gro and upped Bloom. Smell up 1100sq feet nicely. She’s been under a 600w and will be put in a 5x5 soon with a 1000w LED.

Another week has gone by and this small girl is looking mightier and mightier as the time goes by. Nice long buds forming and starting to see some nice colours coming in. The leaves are curling and browning a bit, pretty sure it's nutrient burn but the other plants on the same reservoir are more than happy, so she will just have to keep on pushing through. Did turn the lights up 100% (+10%) just to get the canopy closer to 600 umol/s from the previous 550 umol/s. Should start to see the buds swell up this week, let's keep our eyes peeled and out fingers crossed.

The plants are happy and on cruze control. Apart from daily defoliation I'm just letting them do their thing. No nutrients or boosters have been added this week🤙 Ok and still contending with bladdy LOAD SHEDDING !!!!!! 2-4 hours of electricity turned off by Eskom NATION WIDE!!! I'm currently sitting in the pitch dark tying this🤙 Google it.. totally sucks

The Plants recovered greatly from being defoliated and grew new leafs around the budsites. At the end of this week i started giving some pk13/14 to support the bud stacking and bulking. In two weeks im gonna leave it out again. I hope its not gonna be too much phosphorus for my Babys 😬❤️

We had some days of hanging leaves after placing them in new pots, probably root stress. After some days they recovered and now they are doing well in their new homes 🌱✨ I topped them on the weekend, let’s see how they’ll react 🧙‍♂️

Auto Lemon is looking sweet. Tons of crystals, nice bud development, orange hairs, etc... She still has a couple of weeks to go, but we're getting close👍 Rearranged the tent today and moved the Auto Lemon to directly below the R300 LED (far-right in group pics)

So far so good with this watermelon zkittles from barneys 😁 no issues and responding well to the topping and lst, I am making 3 litres worth of food for the week and will up it as the plant needs it. I will post more pics and a video later of the room. The purple lemonade and runtz are doing well, they look lost in there big pots 🤣. Pics to come. The orange sherbert are on day 3 of there 2 week flush with molasses and phed water, hopefully there fill out, on the plus side there getting purple on them now 😀. Marshydro tsl2000 is doing a amazing job and is really nice and cool, my hps light use to cook the plants this led is perfect can achieve good temps even cold temps to pull the colour out at the end 😀. The ac infinity with digital controller is a must have and a real game changer for a grower, I love it my mate loves his and trust me it helps, easy to use and set it up outside your grow area, dangle the thermometer cable at canopy hight and your good to go. Day 29 day 2 flower, the watermelon zkittles is starting to start her stretch I think she is going to be a nice plant, iv had no issues in the last 4 weeks and never have with the barneys seed selection.
