Time to flushing..

Finally get to update she is now in a 5 gallon pot inside the @MarsHydroLED tent with the FCE4800 lamp at 50% 18in day time temp was 78F with 58%RH she is doing great right now will start LST this week next feeding will be only water she is on her 2nd 3Week feeding schedule I only use Fox Farm product's. Water is always 6.5 PH Reverse Osmosis.

Three of the lower branches have been pollinated. She was fed the last of fox farms grow big...So far I am satisfied with the bud developments after the LST in just two weeks.

Good first week 🌱

Hello growers and welcome to week 6. I expect Queen Citronella to gain a lot of height this week. I will be doing the measurements shortly, but first I wanted to share some news! Queen Citronella has a new home, she hasn't moved in yet, but I'm working on it today. I will also be rearranging all the other grows and starting some new things off! I am not sure if I have mentioned it anywhere but I am using a 1.2m x 1.2.m x 1.8m tent.. I have just got a 60cm x 60cm x 140cm tent and a 300w LED. Her Majesty I hope will enjoy her new quarters. Day 36: I have lowered the light to 30cm above the tallest plants. Day 37: It is done! Queen Citronella resides in her own palace, while the rest of the plebs squat together in the communal living area. I have reorganised and moved my 4x4, mounting the carbon filter and duct fan properly in the center. Setup a 2 x 2 with a 300w LED and put the lights for both tents on the same timer (for now). I will measure and photograph Her Majesty a little later, including photos of her new home. Day 37: Added media. Height: 31cm. Fertigated 2l. Day 37.5: Alright she is really stretching fast, she grew almost 5cm in a little over 30 hours, A thought has just occurred to me; I could, if I chose to, put the Queen on a flower cycle at this point. Now I did want to do a full grow of clones, however we're talking something like another 2 weeks of veg then 2 weeks for cuttings to root, then I'd want to veg them for a few more weeks, maybe 2, 3 or 4? So that's 6-10 weeks before I start flowering. Then at least ten weeks of flowering, A week to dry, and at least a fortnight to cure. We're talking 20-25 weeks before I get to smoke it, that's six months! I probably wont be able to grow in the summer due to the heat. Now I already have the one cutting which I am hoping will root soon, which I can take forward, but I also have two more seeds. So, regretfully, I think I will change my plans. I will flower queen Citronella, starting on day 43. I still intend to do a full tent of Super Lemon Haze clones, but I think I will postpone that adventure until September. So this is now the final week or final five days of veg, she will spend the bulk of her last week of veg under a different light. We wont get much data on vegging (unless there is a significant change this week) but it'll be a nice trial run flowering with an LED light for the first time. Exciting! I am still waiting for the Epislon F1 seeds from RQS. I set their pot up today, inoculated, fed, and sowed some Dark Opal (Purple) Greek Basil and a liberal sprinkling of chamomile. I am going to germinate all five seeds in jiffy pellets and then put them all in the same 40l Day 38: I have realised Her Majesty was too tall to flower in this little tent so I snapped her neck a bit. I installed a photometer app yesterday and discovered I was blasting Citronella with 75 DLI so I raised to light up until canopy level was 40 DLI. The LED is pretty good. The HPS Dual Spectrum bulb in the main tent must be on its last legs as output was around 40 DLI for optimally positioned plants and 30 least optionally positioned. I could do to buy a new bulb. Identical replacement is about fifteen bucks, best one is about fifty. For that I could get another one of those LEDs which seems like better value. At the moment though I really need the heat. So I am thinking identical replacement. 4 days to flower cycle! Day 38.5: Replaced crappy old Dutch barn reflector with a much nicer angel wing model. Installed a significantly larger carbon filter into the main tent which has significantly increased air flow. The main tent vents into the bottom of Queen Citronella's tent, and from there and unfiltered duct fan in the far top corner exhausts it out. The exhaust pipe goes up the chimney. Why have I reorganised and moved the tents again so soon is because I was wasting power heating the little tent with the LED light, but the main tent has excess heat. Well this setup is working a treat. Citronella is sitting in a balmy 23-24 degree wind tunnel. Check out the little video of the changes. Day 39: I think her majesty likes her new quarters. It's going to be weird seeing her square in a few more days. We are 2 days into a "dry spell" I'm simulating for all my plants. Day 40: Dry spell ended. Fertigated 6l. Day 41: Fertigated 3l. Citronella's penultimate day of veg, she is going 12/12 from lights out after next. Photos taken 10:00 9/2/23. Current lights out is Citronella's last 6 hour night! Day 42: Start: Have performed pre-flower LST, HST, and defoliation. 24 hours to flower cycle. Day 42: End: photographed immediately before first 12h night. End of week summary: Huge week for Citronella. I think this LED light is pretty good. Change of plans regarding the grow and preparing her for flower. Let's see how she does.

Issues with the 5th seed growing into a funny "U" shape. Attempting to fix the issue by straightening and re-planting.

Yeah buddy

It was a longer road until here. With all the reading I did I still made rookie mistakes. To much nutrients and to much light stunt my plant and created some deficiencies ( CaMg). Hopefully I will do ok from now on.... Lifted the light at 3 feet on 100% power and decreased the PPM’s to 600. Hopefully that will help and I did not create to much damage. Wish me luck. I invested a lot of time and money on this grow but the experience is not there yet. I’m ok with what it is, I’ve learned a lot from this grow.

My long vegging. Pheno of Fat Banana Auto is finally ready for harvest. Top Buds got nice purple leaf tips. Smell and bud structure is 10/10. I did wet trimming because of high humidity levels.

Semana #2 La catástrofe. Al llegar a mi casa, encuentro este triste escenario.No cerré bien una de las entradas del indoor y una de mis gatas entraron. Murieron tres plantas.Dos Auto Brooklyn Sunrise y una Xtrem Haze. Sentía que este cultivo tenia que ser desechado por todos los problemas iniciales, pero decidí continuar para ver que tanto pueden aguantar las plantas y por la inversion en estas semillas. Las sovrevivientes se veian un poco torcidas, pero veremos que tal siguen. Por todo esto, a las sobrevivientes (3 Auto Mazar y 2 Xtrem) no les haré ningún tipo de técnica y trataré de abonar con lo mínimo un par de semanas.

End of 7 week of flowering.buds swallow a lot..I'm very glad with the results.2 more weeks till harvest for Gorilla Zkittlez and Shiskaberry.today was last feeding with nutritions to this two girls.maybe 3 weeks for my big Blue gelato 41 to finish.

This week was very hot. They stressed a lot some heat stress and some fan stress that came up to uptake look down. The weedding cake was that must sofer. Shr was still recovering from that led issue...and she gets direct sun light in the hottest hour. Black cream in the other hand sofer a lot with fan stress bleaching the leafs in direct contact. Couskush its a beautifull lady and growing nice. Bomberry is late but showing some promissing buds. Chears BrotherHood

Weeks 6-7-8 should probably have been better controlled. I'll definitely control the heights better for the next grow. I didn't defoliate, top nor supercrop. I'll do that for the next grow.

3 autos are getting cut this week probably the last watering today. The other 4 are a few weeks behind. The big Photos are straight monsters Ethos genetics are amazing 👏. They are in week 2 since flip. The small photos are around week 5 or 6 veg they just got put under their own light for the first time SF7000 doing 50% at about 22" just to see how they react to the new light. They were also translated and topped yesterday.

The first day of the sixth week flowering🤗

Second gusher flushed for harvest this coming weekend the other I pulled a week ago is dry and trimmed taste great!!

Grow Diaries: Week 22 Journal Entry – The Durban Poison Quartet * Date: August 14, 2026 * Location: Eastern High Plains, CO * Stage: Photoperiod Vegetative / Early Transition We are officially hitting week 22 with the Durban Poison quartet sitting in their 25-gallon bags on furniture dollies out on the deck. The growth and vigor across all four plants continue to impress, filling out their canopy space with deep green, healthy foliage. Sunlight Optimization & Layout Adjustments With the sun tracking differently as we push deeper into August, maximizing every hour of direct light is critical. Today, the entire quartet was carefully rearranged on the deck. Shifting the positions of the 25-gallon containers ensures that the peripheral branches and lower growth get their fair share of unfiltered exposure, keeping the canopy uniform and preventing any shaded bottlenecks. Feeding & Nutrition: Sea Kelp Tonic Today marks an important milestone in the weekly feeding schedule: it is sea kelp tonic day. Applying this organic tonic provides a rich array of natural micronutrients, trace minerals, and beneficial growth hormones to support root vigor, enhance stress resistance, and fuel sustained vegetative health as the plants continue their upward push. Phenotype Notes & Observations * DP4 Progression: A special callout for DP4 this week—she is really starting to step up her game, showing fantastic structure and officially beginning to build out her colas. The low-stress training (LST) and welded stakes are doing their job, opening up the inner sites to catch maximum light. * The Quartet: DP1, DP5, and DP6 are keeping pace right alongside her, showing dense foliage and strong branching throughout the 25-gallon setups. Update 8.15.26 Durban Poison Update: Transition to Flower! The Durban Poison crew is officially making the shift! After a solid vegetative phase since sprouting back in mid-March, the girls are starting to show their first exciting signs of flower. * Early Pistils & Cluster Development: Tight cluster formations and fresh white pistils are popping up at the top sites, confirming that the photoperiod crew is transitioning right on schedule. * Nutrition & Care: Following recent top dressings like the seabird guano applied earlier in August, the plants are looking robust, healthy, and ready to pack on weight as bloom sets in. * Training & Setup: Sitting comfortably in their 25-gallon bags on furniture dollies, all four plants have responded exceptionally well to low-stress training (LST). Things are really starting to ramp up for the outdoor setup. Stay tuned for more updates as these flowers start stacking!

Week 6 veg and we are starting to setup for flower. Got the SCROG net up this week and the if the plants react nice ill start flower. Also spent some time on the 1000W LED controller and set up a proper day cycle – blue heavy early for tight growth, then ramping white and a bit of red later in the day. Here’s exactly how it’s tuned right now. Nectar is still the most even and balanced of the bunch. Wide bushy shape, strong laterals, and she’s filling the net without any drama. Leaves look dark green and healthy, living soil doing its job like always. Rainbow Melon is the absolute beast as usual. Super dense and aggressive – she’s really claiming her space under the net. Gonna have to stay on top of training and maybe pull a few more lower leaves soon to keep the airflow right, but she’s loving it. Something Good has picked up speed and looks a lot more even now. Still the smallest but catching up nicely, good color and steady new growth coming in. Probably 1 or 2 more weeks of veg to let them really fill the screen before we flip. Also hung the new big Biotabs banner – looks clean in the background. What do you think @Mia_BIOTABS ?? Overall everything’s happy, no stress, just solid progress. All three fertilizer are working great so far. They also got the usual foliar feeding. See you next week Update: added photos of the stems and a 1 day after applying the trellis net. 15. I flipped them into flower

Day 63 I cut out the bottom of my tent to raise it to the top of the rdwc buckets giving me another 15" of space. It was getting tight and i don't want to keep dimming my light. Had to remove my screen, I'll build in another one if the buds get too heavy. Starting week four in flower for the two on the left (few days seperation) starting week 2ish for the girl on far right.
