05/27/2021 Its been a while but all is well, the red light only seems to have encouraged lots of new growth. But I think I'm going to stick with 25-50% blue spectrum and 100% red for the finish. I'm kind of disappointed that she has no distinguishing smell, but she was bred for resistance to PM specifically. All the good stuff will come once i have stabilized consistent PM resistance. (Work in progress) Then the good stuff will be worked in..... If needed. Ps. I do believe it will likely be 12+ weeks of flowering to finish (Hope she has a racy/trippy sativa side) fingers crossed🙏

Day 6 of Flower coming to 7 tonight! I tried turning my led to 600 for the first time and I kinda forgot about it luckily not for too long and only a few leaves got damaged this LED has a serious kick... no wonder after all it is a commercial LED?. The OG Kush has stretches about 1.5 times and got from having long branches to some really long branches... about 54 to 57cm and he's the only reason I will be using the scrog net this time as I feel very uncomfortable using it, I ain't a fatty but I'm groggy when it comes to watering I love being able to take my plants out and under the shower for a flush in case anything ever goes wrong really.. But scrog? Dam it's working on these branches I'm used to seeing g a little differently shaped but sites but this is nice to look at and I know for sure I need to be careful with this led I also sprayed all girls with neem oil 2 nights before as I saw a little bug on the pot. Overall she's growing fast she's happy and I'm happy to see that I'm able to manage the scrog for the first time actually as I had it before but never bothered using it I'm looking forward to the results happy growing!.

Week 5 of flower completed This week the plants fully entered the bulking phase, with light intensity progressively increased until the canopy exceeded 1000 PPFD in the main zones, while maintaining a strong overall plant response and no major signs of light stress. Several irrigation adjustments were made to match the increased water consumption and nutrient demand. EC was gradually raised to around ~1300 µS, slowly reducing Bio-Grow while increasing Bio-Bloom, Top-Max, and finally introducing Bud Candy and PK 13/14. Microbes were also added to support root activity during this high metabolic phase. The plants started drying the pots much faster, a clear sign of increased transpiration and photosynthetic activity under the stronger lighting conditions. Irrigation strategy was adjusted toward more frequent and more even feedings to keep the root zone stable and avoid excessive fluctuations. One of the highlights of this week was resin production. Even before pushing PK harder or running higher Bud Candy doses, the flowers were already showing a heavy layer of trichomes on calyxes and sugar leaves, especially on the upper canopy. Aroma intensity also increased noticeably. Although the canopy was not completely full and some empty spaces remained, the more open structure improved light penetration and individual flower development, prioritizing flower quality, structure, and uniformity over an overly aggressive yield-focused approach. At this point the crop looks stable, responding well to the increase in nutrients and PPFD, now entering the key weeks for flower density and final maturation.

The purple lemonade is getting some beautiful sticky fat dank buds and the gorilla cookies is flowering nicely the node spacing is super close so i will be looking at some super dence fat sticky buds the smell is amazing i cant wait to have a joint with the two strains combined in it .

Shes just growing and growing biggest of all so far looking nice and heal

Changed Wednesday

One more week... I have improved the equipment used to make the Janes will thrive as it should be, and to make sure that the environment is solid as diamond. || I absolutely love this genetic. The aroma, the structure of the plant, structure of the flowers and the effects of the final product. I hope in future to look back to what I'm doing and cover any flaws and dive into a very nice pheno-hunt. 🌱 Genetics Breeder: Royal Queen Seeds Special Kush #1 Afghan x Kush Kush is to indica strains what Haze is to sativas. Much like Skunk, “Kush” is a term used to describe an entire lineage of cannabis plants. Today, the term Indica refers to a type of plant that is naturally found (indigenous) to the Indian region. Source: https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/feminized-cannabis-seeds/138-special-kush-1.html 🌱 Vegetative Stage Method used: minimal intervention — I don’t touch the plant and simply let it thrive. The environment remains stable, especially in terms of temperature. I’ve learned that consistency is key: when conditions stay steady, the plant feels comfortable and grows stronger. I can’t wait to see it growing, growing, growing! 🎛️ Equipment MARS HYDRO for almost everything.

En las fotos ya llevaban unos días con el horario de floración. He regalado un par de plantas y solo conservaré tres en el armario. Voy a probar para florecer un montaje LED cob con cinco diódos Luminus de 3500k y una fuente de alimentación Sosen de 200W, le pongo diodos de más para distribuir mejor la luz y gestionar mejor la temperatura. Aún así regulo la fuente de alimentación a 170 W a ver qué es capaz de producir... La alimentación de floración será tambien BioBizz, Bio Bloom y Top Max.

en espectáculo a la vista mis bellas, ya dan señales que el otoño llego y están próximas a su cosecha

Here it is the mango skunk the (male) now i can start breaking with diffrent plants and try and make some new strains just got 2 more plants to wait for and see if they are male

Внезапно заканчивается цикл для PL, в конце следующей недели планирую харвест. Во-первых она уже готова(за два месяца от каски, браво FB!), во-вторых у меня закончились курительные запасы, что тоже немаловажно😜 Остальные растишки по чуть-чуть добирают, с ними точно не буду никуда спешить. Сделал забавную фотосессию на Хеллоуин, следите за обновлениями👆 p.s. добавил 👻😱🎃😁 Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует...😶

Week 4 Veg Report: Croco Girls - The Mutant Chronicles 🌱 Hello Grow Fam! Week 4 of veg is here, and what a unique and eventful week it has been for the Croco girls! These funky mutants continue to surprise and amaze with their one-of-a-kind growth patterns. While the colder weather has introduced a few challenges, we’re adapting and thriving together. Let’s dive into the details! Environmental Updates: A Chill in the Air 🌬️ This week, temperatures in the grow room dipped to around 21-22°C, with relative humidity (RH) holding steady at 65%. While not drastic, this slight chill is enough to slow down growth a bit as the plants adapt. Cooler temps can encourage tighter node spacing, but they can also delay development slightly. Here’s how we’re addressing it: Proactive Monitoring: Keeping a close eye on temperature and RH trends to ensure they remain within optimal ranges. Gradual Adjustments: Slowly warming the environment with indirect heat sources if necessary, without shocking the plants. Remember, plants are incredibly resilient—and this slight delay will only make the Croco girls’ eventual growth even more rewarding. Feeding Updates: All in One Pellets & Organic Boost 🌾 This week marked a significant milestone: I introduced Aptus Holland’s All in One Pellets to the soil mix. Here’s how it went down: Preparation: Added a generous dose of the pellets to each pot. Soil Enrichment: Topped the pots with Pro Mix soil, bringing the total soil volume to 1 liter per plant. Feeding Transition: While I did one last watering with All in One Liquid, I’ll now rely primarily on: Regulator (0.15ml/L): To support stress resistance and strengthen cell walls. CalMag Boost (0.25ml/L): For calcium and magnesium supplementation, essential for strong stems and vibrant growth. Start Booster (0.25ml/L): To continue promoting robust root development. The combination of organic pellets and the Aptus liquid lineup ensures the girls have everything they need for a slow, steady nutrient release while maintaining microbial activity in the soil. Watering Technique: Bottom-Up Hydration 💧 This week, I switched to bottom-watering, a game-changer in preventing fungus gnats and promoting healthier root development. How It Works: Water is added to the tray, allowing the soil to wick moisture upwards through capillary action. Advantages: Reduces surface moisture, deterring gnats from laying eggs. Encourages roots to grow deeper as they seek water, resulting in a stronger root system. To further combat gnats, I’ve also placed yellow sticky traps around the pots. This dual strategy—bottom-watering and sticky traps—is already showing promising results. Mutant Marvels: The Funky Leaf Phenomenon 🍃 Each Croco girl is a masterpiece of mutation, with unique leaf shapes and growth patterns. No two plants are alike, and that individuality is part of what makes this grow so exciting. I’m patiently waiting for them to grow large enough to identify their sex. Here’s the plan moving forward: Option 1: Flip to 12/12 Temporarily: A one-week light flip to identify sex, then returning to veg. Pros: Fast and straightforward. Cons: Slight delay in veg growth. Option 2: Clone & Flip: Take cuttings from each plant, root them, and flip the clones to flower. Pros: Preserves the main plants in veg. Cons: Requires additional space and time for cloning. I’ll decide based on how the girls progress over the next week or two. Either way, I’m excited to unlock their potential. Photography: Capturing the Magic 📸 This week, I focused on showcasing the Croco girls’ beauty through a mix of macro photography and behind-the-scenes shots. Using both my Sony and Nikon cameras, I’ve been able to capture intricate details—from water droplet reflections to the delicate veining in their leaves. Why Use a DSLR/Mirrorless Camera? Greater sensor size allows for higher-quality images compared to even the latest smartphones. The ability to swap lenses provides flexibility for macro shots, wide angles, and close-ups. Depth of field and manual focus control ensure every shot is intentional and artistic. Lens Choices: Macro lenses (e.g., 90mm) for close-ups of leaf textures and water droplets. Standard lenses (e.g., 50mm) for portrait-style plant shots. While phone cameras like the latest iPhone can take great photos, they can’t quite match the level of detail, depth, and creative control a dedicated camera offers.

Cold week, not sunny weather and the damages from the spray I used is more visible. But we will see if not it will get back in good shape soon, that’s the hope atleast 😄

🚀 Week 7 Overall | Flower Week 2: The Great Stretch & Soil Struggles 🌿 What’s up growmies! We’ve officially moved into Week 7 overall, which marks the second week of flowering. The girls have absolutely exploded! That Week 2 stretch is in full effect and it’s beautiful to see. Because of the crazy growth, I had to step in with some light defoliation and a "mini" lollipopping from the bottom. I want to make sure the strongest branches have enough energy to reach for the sky. Once the stretch is over and they stop growing taller, I’ll do one final heavy defoliation and a proper lollipopping, but for now, this was definitely necessary. The Struggle: I’m still dealing with the yellowing of new leaves. Since I’m running a no-chem, low-feed organic setup, "nutrient burn" is highly unlikely. I’m starting to lean towards the fact that I messed up my living soil mix and it’s lacking oxygen. The Fix: I decided to drill some extra holes into my old pots to get better aeration into the root zone. Lesson learned: for the next run, I’m definitely upgrading to a proper living soil bed! 🛏️ I honestly hate this kind of stress during a grow. I’m just crossing my fingers that the plants finish strong and the root system doesn't get messed up. Stay tuned and happy growing to everyone out there! 🙏💚 One love!

Nothing much going on here. No LST. Didn’t really takeoff many new leaves. I didn’t check up on the plants for a whole 24 hours. I didn’t notice when I last watered that I had missed a plant as you see in the first video. It went back up in about 6 hours like nothing ever happened to her. When growing many plants it’s very easy to forget to water one or two. That’s why it’s important to water all single file from row to row , starting from the top plant to the bottom plant, all the way though the last sections. Learned the hard way lol
