I skipped a week of flowering because I was often late with my updates. The plant is really picking up steam again, and the flowers are getting bigger. Just take a look at the pictures and video. 😄

Everything is pretty much on autopilot. A blumat in a pot in the back wasnt working but i caught it before it did much damage. I think i took care of it but will watch to make sure. Added a little mammoth p to my res to get worked thru the blumats. Gonna let the tank get close to dry then ill refill wgJust about to do a tank swap for the co2 as well.

Day 84 The plant appears healthy and vigorous, with broad green leaves arranged in a symmetrical pattern around several strong central stems, The foliage is dense, showing a rich, deep green color that suggests good nutrient balance and sufficient light exposure. The plant is growing in a fabric pot filled with dark, moist soil, which allows for proper aeration and drainage. Several new growth tips can be seen near the top, indicating active vegetative development. Overall, the plant looks well cared for, stable, and in good growing condition.

Week 5 starts with recover from the previous FIMing. I'm surprised 😍 ------ Day 30: Found a better way to LST, the branches are growing much faster now :D Day 34: Sex clearly visible 😁 (female)

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

Topped on day 47 at attempted to take some clones. First time giving it a go so trying with these random genetics before trying to keep a mother with some real fire. Plan is flip to flower in 2 weeks. Been feeding roughly 25% of recommended feed but all 4 seem to be healthy. Plant 1: tallest and widest. Most branching from lower nodes and responded great to tucking only for the first few weeks. Plant 2: just trailing behind plant 1 in every category. Plant 3: staying much more bushy but very even growth not requiring any defoliation Plant 4: also staying bushy but excessive internal growth that is going to require some more defoliation after flipping to flower. Hopefully some LST clips and tie downs and manage its growth and the stretch until then.

9/9 Still looking for the cause of the top fading only on the light colored phenos think its P will address tomorrow, want a couple more weeks from these guys at least. 9/10 Looking better top dressed the Happy Frog 3 tbs/plant watered with Bio-Bloom 3tsp /gal and Big Bloom 3tsp/gal 9/13 D62 Just finishing the week things are pretty stable. Nuet issues resolved and buds building nicely taking on a more fuzzy appearance with straight new growth hairs. Pics at lights out if I remember Looking at 9/27 for a harvest date or at least its penciled in on the calendar. Next feed is full

Day 70- 2nd day of flush. Plant 1 is pretty much done, just waiting for trichs to amber up a bit. Plant 2 has a ways to go, but I’m flushing anyway. Wifey complained about the choking smell, but realized my in tent filter was off because a branch lifted the plug out of the socket 🙄🙄 Day 75 - past few days been feeding PK at 0.7 EC, waiting for the trichs to turn. Going back to plain water tonight. #2 plant has much larger buds, but is waaayyy behind #1 - still tons of white pistils.

Here we grow! These are clones of Mandarin Cookies, rooted in peat plugs, under low light T5 Sunblaster 24w, inside a dome, keeping humidity levels high.

This is still week 7 but a couple days after last weeks pictures. The Photos haven’t fully flipped to flower but are showing clear signs. Really pleased with Somango and BCP but I’m not really liking the way LSD is growing. Doesn’t have an abundance of leaves and is growing really long Branches. We’ll see how that goes in Flower, I hope it’s not going to turn in to a lot of Space and/or humidity Problems.

I should be putting up my scrog net now I guess...maybe next tie down if she allows. Dropping temps to 18 at night is the biggest challenge: it makes her more nice n frosty looking. I still can't select my nute line so no point in shown m off.

📋 Die Strawberry Banana von Fastbuds befindet sich in Woche 7 der Blüte, was insgesamt Woche 12 entspricht. Die Pflanze zeigt deutliche Anzeichen des herbstlichen Lebenszyklus, bei dem sie ihre Energie nun fast vollständig in die Blütenproduktion steckt. 📏 Die Pflanze hat eine Höhe von 58 cm. Als Substrat dient eine Mischung aus 30 Prozent Kompost und 70 Prozent Plagron Light Mix. 📸 Der optische Zustand zeigt eine Pflanze in der finalen Reifephase. Die Blattfärbung geht stark ins Gelbe und Bräunliche, was in diesem Stadium völlig normal ist, da die Pflanze ihre Nährstoffreserven aus den Blättern in die Blüten zieht. Die Struktur ist kompakt, die Blüten selbst wirken dicht und sind bereits ordentlich mit Trichomen besetzt, die bei genauer Betrachtung glänzen. Die Narben sind bereits überwiegend bräunlich gefärbt. ✂️ Alles in allem ein klassischer Verlauf für das Ende der Blüte. Die Pflanze sieht aus, als würde sie die letzten Reserven mobilisieren. Ich werde jetzt genau auf die Trichomentwicklung achten, um den optimalen Erntezeitpunkt nicht zu verpassen. Das Ziel ist jetzt nur noch das Ausreifen der Blütenstände bei gleichzeitigem Auswaschen der restlichen Nährstoffe.

The healthy Bruce Banners are bulking up fast, while the post-stress "pink" plant still has wet soil, so I’m letting it dry out.

Absolut ungewohnt das Zelt mit so abgemargerten Pflanzen zu sehen 🤣🤣🤣 Die Ladys von draußen sind endlich nach innen gezogen für den restlichen Blüte Schub. Sehen wie Crackys aus im vergleich zu den den davor drin waren 🤣

Unfortunately all of them turned out to be males was going to keep one to breed but not that kind of party lol looking for that female so we could show how her potential. Definitely a stinker from the Kush , turns purple just wish I had a fem lol probably need to look into the FEM process… I planted two more so let’s see was up
