- Week 6 -
----- Day 36 -----
No feeding today as it was tomorrow so nutrient line up isn't up yet. I'll do that tomorrow.
Ladies are perfect, I can't wait. less than 30 days away.
----- Day 37 -----
Today is feeding but back left is behind the other 3 again, gave the other 3 500ml of tap water (10ppm) to prevent turgor pressure loss while back left dries up.
Should be feeding in 3-4 hours. 23L 1100-1500ppm (new feeding, so ppm end is not known atm) 6.4 pH
Plants are insane, big Bertha has become middle Bertha as the other stems have fattened up quickly.
Speaking of which plants are in bulk period, 3~ weeks left so it's an exciting time to watch them fatten up.
**UPDATE** Fed at 1000ppm 23L 6.4pH
The removal of FloraNova Bloom, and letting the chelated Diamond Nectar go to work on the molasses brings down the "accountable" parts by the machine I use. 1000ppm is full strength on all fertilizers being used.
I might add more molassses in the future and bring it up to 2ml/L, and maybe a smidge of epsom salts next feeding via foliar or direct feeding after I do some research.
No more KoolBloom liquid, KoolBloom powder begins and she's a strong one.
----- Day 38 -----
Yesterday back left plant has me unnecessarily anxious. It didn't need watering till 2 hours before lights off.
What I did is fed the other 3 90% of the feeding, and only gave back left 10% (closed the irrigation heads till the end of feeding).
I'm HOPING it was the plant transitioning from pre-bulk flower to bulk-flower stage, and maybe it slowed down photosynthesis to concentrate on hormonal changes. I dont know I'm anxious and just talkin out loud.
I'll know within 72 hours if there's a major issue with back left. Plant looks fine, i'm just paranoid.
Pictures later today around mid light cycle. Buds are getting insanely fat.
**Update**
Was bored. Here's some wicked shots. Still 25-27~ days left and its big bulk time. Can't wait to see them at the end.
----- Day 39 -----
Everything is great.
Feeding late tonight or potentially tomorrow depending on back left plant. I want to make sure bottom center of the root zone has dried out and doesn't begin to mold before I water again.
This will also help prevent fungus gnats in the soil.
I'll keep the other 3 away from turgor pressure loss, but they got 90% of the feeding last time so I expect them to dry by the time back left is.
*** Update ***
Now the other 3 plants who were faster on water intake than back left yesterday have slowed down.
Weed growing knowledge at a Horticultural greenhouse scientific repeatable level is pure fucking garbage.
I have 6~ books and checked dozens of sites and there was major conflicting info on water intake.
That's the problem with cannabis, it was illegal for so damn long horticulture practices and knowledge never molded or were used in the process and now it's anyone's fucking guess as to who is telling truth or is spouting bullshit bro-science.
Don't even get me started on names.
What a stupid god damn naming system "counter-culture" created... I'm growing wedding cake.. WEDDING CAKE? Wtf.
That's stupid as shit. Give weed botanical Latin names based on appearance and technical factors PLEASE!!!!!!
If I could name this plant it would be (Cannibas v. hybrid 'multa-magnum-fragum-gemmae-dulcis') why? It's due to it being a; Cannabis plant, hybrid variety 'multiple big bud strawberry candy' showing off multiple long bud stems smelling of candy,
Is that more convoluted and arrogant than Wedding cake?
YES, it is.
Is it better?
YES fuck your stupid wedding cake name.
That's dumb. And you should feel bad.
Still want to argue? Name it Cannabis v. Hybrid 'crustulam nuptias' THERE! Wedding cake. fuuuck!
99.99% of plant names are Latin.
Anyways... back to the point...
I hypothesize that there is a secondary transition portion of flower where the plant (like in stretch transition) pauses its growth to move the hormone and nutrient production to other sources. This secondary pause happens JUST before bulk session begins.
This hypothesis states roughly that up until final big bulk period (last 3-4 weeks), fan leaves and sugar leaves could still be produced by the plant during a "predator" or "high weather event" situation that would cripple the plants photosynthesis for final bud/seeding production during early to mid stage flowering.
Once the plant has reached adequate nutrient reserves or some other time or light cycle based trigger, it removes the hormonal/internal production/ability of sugar/fan leaves still being potentially produced out of the internode stem cells and fully stops that ability and concentrates 100% of growth on bud structure and protection of bud structures through THC/CBA/CBC/CBD etc. (Im a little tipsy, can't spell cannabinoid leave me alone...) production.
Tonight I will at 30 minutes before lights off be judging the water requirements during sleep of each plant to prevent turgor pressure loss, and to allow each plant to finish this transition and get back to major water intake by feeding tomorrow morning.
It's insanely obvious somethings changed.
I Was worried that leaving back left plant with stagnant water in the bottom saucer (pot doesn't sit directly in the water but is 3 inches above it) had released mold spores and started destroying the root mass of the back left plant but:
1) No obvious plant death signs, weakness or other aspects of it being a slow death from bottom up.
2) The other plants did the same damn thing within 48 hours.... and the back left plant is by far the largest and gets the most "light" due to its size hence it would most likely (HYPOTHESIS) finish its secondary cycle a bit faster due to just volume and weight.
Listen i'm not gonna say this is all 100% correct knowledge, It's based off feeling and "knowing" plant cycles as a greenhouse certified Horticultural Technician.
Repeated efforts to grow and replicating situations that created these things over and over is the real proof and will come in time.
One major benefit is the fact I WILL be re-flowering these for the VERY LEAST 3 full flowering cycles as long as they don't die during flower to veg transition.
I will be getting them THC tested EVERY SINGLE flower cycle to prove without a doubt the "maximum maturity" possible of a weed plant re-veg flower cycling, just like how we know by the 5th or 6th successive clone, the DNA will deteriorate and the grow will be stunted or a lesser bud high and yield.
God I fucking ramble when I'm bored and tipsy.
----- Day 40 -----
Fed at 1350ppm 6.3pH 23L
Plants are doing great.
**Update**
Little fun video from mid light cycle.
Roughly 20-25 days left.
Will finish at 30% amber 70% cloudy and will cut branch by branch as they are done, not in a rush to do 1 single cut and will let them survive to re-veg easier and less stressful.
----- Day 41 -----
Easy day. Here's some pics.
Just basically have to watch the grass grow today.
----- Day 42 -----
Big photo day, used ruler for most shots.
End of beginning of bulk, big bulk starts tomorrow.
Could probably feed late night tonight but I'm going to just give 500-750 ml of water depending on roots needs before lights off.
Tomorrow will be a big feed for first day of week 7.
Tropicanna Glookies tips on back right are beginning to darken and become purple. I am hoping this whole plant turns purple in last 2-3 weeks.
We will see.
**Update**
Back right plant is starting to turn purple and FAST. Pretty awesome.

Tropicana Cookies enters its first week of flowering showing a vigorous and well-balanced transition into its reproductive phase. After six weeks of total growth, the plant has developed a wide, uniform canopy with strong lateral branching and multiple active flowering sites distributed throughout the entire structure.
Its compact architecture and relatively short internodal spacing suggest excellent potential for dense flower formation as bloom progresses. The training applied during the vegetative stage has created an even canopy, allowing efficient light penetration and promoting consistent development across both primary and secondary branches.
The plant displays healthy foliage, strong vigor, and a controlled stretch response, maintaining an ideal balance between vertical growth and lateral expansion. Early flower initiation is already visible across the canopy, indicating a smooth and uniform transition into bloom.
At this stage, Tropicana Cookies stands out for its bushy structure, excellent branch development, and high number of future flowering tops, positioning itself as a highly productive phenotype with strong potential for quality and yield in the weeks ahead. 🍊🔥🌱

The girls are just running on autopilot the past week. Have done nothing but give them a feed every 2 days, now increased to 5L ~1.81 ec 10-20% runoff, lights 24/0 50% veg channel only. lights fixed 1.5m from top of pot so still plenty of room to grow. They all look really healthy. 2 typical phenos here, 2 @ 16cm, 1 @ 14cm, then the other 3 are 20, 21, 22cm. Expecting to see 3 tall stretchy plants and 3 compact at the end will be introducing 15% bloom channel today to start the full spectrum and preparing them for bloom when it happens. I am not expecting to see pistils for another 1-2 weeks because of the pot size it will take a bit longer for the roots to hit the edges
Week 3 day 2 update: well I was wrong. Noticed tonite we have pre flowers forming, I guess in a few days we will have pistils. Have kept veg at 55% and increased bloom to 25%. Once pistils have started to emerge will transition canna bloom into the mix

Journal Entry – March 16, 2025
🌱 Activity: Watered with 2000mL of plain pH’d water.
👀 Observation: No runoff at all, even with 2000mL. Leaves showing early signs of magnesium and potassium deficiency – slight yellowing between veins and minor edge discoloration near bud sites.
🌱 Blueberry Auto – Day 47 (March 20, 2025)
Activity:
💧 Watering & Nutrients Given (3000mL, but no runoff yet!)
Silica: 0.75mL
Micro: 3.75mL
Flowers: 3.75mL
Bud Strength: 2.25mL
Flame: 1.5mL
Frosty Nugs: 1.5mL
Cal-Mag (Additional Supplement): 1.5mL
Observation:
🌿 Even with 3000mL, no runoff yet! That soil is holding onto moisture, so next watering, we’ll push to 4000mL to fully saturate the medium and get some drainage. Buds are swelling, and she’s drinking more now, which is a great sign of development!
🔥 Looking Ahead:
Next watering: 4000mL to finally get runoff. This will help flush any salt buildup and keep nutrient uptake balanced.
Keep light at 100% and monitor leaf color—if she starts fading or clawing, we’ll adjust feeding as needed.
Expect bud density to increase as we push her through these next critical weeks!
💚 She’s in full-on flower power mode! 🚀 Let’s keep fueling those buds!
**I have an issue! ChatGpt got to use her diagnosis skills for the first time! She did amazing too. I sent her some pics and said you know everything we've done so far, so you tell me what it is. I did not want to influence her at all for this. And she did! it, she diagnosed some potassium and magnesium deviancies. You can see our interaction about it above. She is upping our nutrients and adding some additional cal mag. Still not enough water for some runoff, but she is increasing it to ensure we do get some next time....hopefully lol**

Start of week 7! Week 6 went really well for the Glueberry OG. She has also show some nute deficiency signs, a few rust spots, but otherwise is healthy and the buds are packing on weight. This lady is on an 8 week schedule, removed big bud and added overdrive to the nute lineup.

had a bit of a nightmare. bit much on over water and may have had a nutrient lockout. took one sweet cherry pie out and replaced with seedsman northern lights auto. also added a few more of those in the tent 5th dec. was unfortunate as this week was for topping. went ahead and did it. will be very careful next week. Purple berry Kush came on strong this week. took the nutrients fine. less damage from over water.

Doing gooood. She's small but looks great so far 👌🏻
Smells peppery and sour.
Not really frosty but might start knocking some trichomes out these next few weeks.
Really happy with all the shogun stuff so far. Noticed a big difference from my previous grows I couldn't be happier 😁
Started on the pk boost this week,
Stopped the katana roots and dropped the samurai bloom down. go time for these buds now 👊🏻

😿🔫 I did it again... our timer was switched from "timer" to "outlet" (probably got bumped) this means the plants have been receiving 24/0..i did this about 9 months ago in our basement tent (twice in 1 year, how embarrassing 😿)...these plants being autos I don't suspect that the extra light would matter however our exhaust system is programmed to shut down 30min after the lights..the plants were probably getting too warm for a few hours every night..this solves our "taco leaf" mystery...I'm so happy we caught this when we did ..a few plants were looking deficient so they all got a small shot of grow (2ml/gal) and guano (5ml/g) solution today, we also added a humidifier..its going to be R&R for these girls and I'll be checking all my timers weekly from now on..

Fast Buds LSD-25 Auto
Right Rear
All I can say is WOW!
This was the smartest and slowest to start but has taken over the shower. It is full of buds that are filling in nicely.
It has been the heaviest drinker. I have been having to give it extra water after each cycle of the drip watering system.
The purple is almost black and I am looking forward to see what it turns out like, probably about 3 more weeks.

Die Woche ist im großen und ganzen sehr gut geloffen. Sie hatte nochmal einen deutlichen Schub gemacht und nach Anzeichen der Blüte gab ich ihr das erste mal mein selbst gemachten Full Spectrum Bloom Ferment (angelehnt an knf aber deutlich verändert mit vielen tropical ingredients🙃💚)worauf sie super reagiert hat ,sie zeigt schon noch drei Tagen eine deutlich satteres grün. Dann nahm ich als vorsichts
Maßnahme die Blütenstände die am nähesten am hauptspamm waren weg um einen besseren Air flow zu bekommen und dann gab es nochmal lecker essen (Bloom ferment )💚🙃
Was meint ihr ?
Danke fürs rein schauen
Happy grow💚

Noticed what looks like to me a little nitrogen deficiency so started feeding biogrow at 2ml
2nd week with the new lights and they seem to enjoying it although space is getting very tight in my closet! Going to need to migrate to tent sooner then later
