Solo cup challenge continues to press along. Not much change, plants are in veg, growing and healthy. Still a few weeks before the flowers start so I hope to get a bit of size going before it does. Having fun and really like looking at the other entries in this contest. Check out WildeWeed, Butterstotch and BeanswithPork, silky, larimar, fireman

First time that she saw the rain - And second wind storm, disheveled but undamaged - I had to add few big sticks - A net or a cage would have been perfect, but too ugly :) My own haze, inbred since roughly 20 years is a poly-hybrid landraces cross : [(Colombian Gold 1972 x Mexican (Oaxaca)) x (Thai Lemon x Gambian)] (I replaced the Indian with an African - Original haze is Colombian x Mexican x Thaï x Indian), which I crossed over the years with a male Double Jamaican (Blue Mountain x Lambsbread), a male Nevil's Haze, and a PCK male (who add a deep purple bud color to a third to a fourth of the pheno)

Hello. This the end of the 1st week and the start of the 2nd week of flowering. Just a fast entry... I'm starting harvesting of the front 1/2 of this greenhouse tomorrow. So, I'm getting ready for that. These plants have still got 6 or 7 weeks of flowering to go still. These plant will go in the front of the greenhouse when I'm finished with the harvest in there. Did a stock rub test of these plants and the smell reminded me of the good old days of buying land race pot. It smelled like The Columbian sativa from the 1970's... mmm wonderful. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

So I'm learning that the zkittles is always hungry lol, 3 weeks left for her and will be feeding pk booster this week. Runtz is showing pisstils now on day 28 so about right for this stage. Day 1 for my new bean ethos genetics banana daddy auto, looking forward to this.

Day 43. Queen is reaching sky, had to move lamp one more time. Margaret is getting fatter, loads of mini colas and buds, really compact version of that strain. Today - plain water, next watering they will get molasses tea. Then plain water and at the end of week - full blast of nutes ! To me it looked like top leaves of Queen getting bleached lightly, think i have just 30 cm left of height, let's hope she will be massive , while staying low ;))) Her structure is very stretch out, a bit too big distance between nodes compared to what i like or would want to see from perfect plant. Day 46. Queen still has obvious light bleach, quantum boards makes your plants hungry for cal mag. Hope it and later silica feed will bring all to normal. Both girls pack like crazy, really fun to observe. Both looks to be not so far from 1g/W ;))) No third needed !!! Hopefully ... ;))) Tomorrow they will get only third feed in theirs life ... Nutes companies would hate me ;))) Day 48. Queen is super sensitive to Mag, second Cap-Mag feed and she burns again ... Will go water, water, silica, water now. Will see how they look after this. Girls still drink fast, there is no lockouts, but rusty spots tells everything. I noticed that this strain don't need big feed, she grows nice when hungry. Happy Growing !

Ambering up nicely! Cannot wait to try this! 2-gal gets the chop on day 74 after her flush finishes up. 2-3 weeks out on the 3-gal.

Been wanting to grow this strain for a while now so many people have grown it and it had huge buds I’m excited. Everything I have grown from fastbuds so far grows really well

We successfully completed week 8 and things are starting to get interesting. The buds have grown significantly in size over the last days and the smell has gotten much stronger. I think I also need a new air filter… The leaves did some coloring in the past week which makes this beauty look even more handsome. I optimized the air intake of my tent this week by replacing my one 100mm tube with two 130mm 3d printed light traps so breathing is much easier now and the vent can run a bit less fast.

Missed last weeks update. Been very busy with family stuff. Will be my last week as a vegetative update. Girl Scout cookies dwc is the only plant not in flower. Tent is on auto. Just trying to keep up on water. Lemon haze #1 alone drinks about 3/4 of a gallon a day. Installed my r/o system last week on Friday. Will be a big help. I went through 26 jugs of store bought distilled water last week. Terrible, never again. Lemon haze #3 has such a strong skunky, lemony smell at such an early phase. It’s a shorter stockier pheno. Lemon haze #1 and 2 share the same traits. I just hope lemon haze #2 shows out like #1 has. Wow. I trained her well. Like 14-16 colas on top. Really excited to see how gorilla cookies does. Giving her what she needs to perform and give me that high thc content. It’s already sticky as hell in the first week of flower and what a stretcher. Stems look like celery stalks. Tent is full for sure. All looks well. Temps and humidity on auto and rocking. Deal of the century on that stand alone ac unit. 600$ brand new, I got it for 100$ only used for a few months. Two soil grows are looking great as well. 1 each Girl Scout cookies and white widow autos in 4 gallon fabric pots. Half happy frog and half ocean forest with perlite added. Pretty much week 4 on those and I haven’t started feeding at all, just r/o water ph’d to 6. Both started flower within the last few days. Thanks for looking. Happy growing to all out there🤙

Nice growth out of these girls in their first 9 days above soil. The Dinafem Critical+ is larger out of the gate, but the Blackberry is showing signs of catching up towards the end of the week. I also notice twisted/wrinkled looking leaves on the Blackberry, but that seems to be common with purple strains at this age. They did need a little water near the end of the week, I added some Recharge to the water and the next day I saw noticeable growth in both girls. It could be coincidence since rapid growth at this age is expected, but I've never had any bad experiences with Recharge. Looking forward to the progress this upcoming week! Keep on growing!!!

plants look healthy and ready to start making weight juli 26 (day 30 since flip) huge defoliation (see pics)

Right now I am just playing the waiting game with White Widow and Industrial Plant. Both have shown signs of maturation with their trichomes but neither one has a majority of milky trichomes yet. In hindsight, I should have waited until Industrial Plant was more mature before I started flushing her -- I've lost a few weeks that I could have been continuing to fatten her up. I added more bamboo rods and tied branches to them with some plant tape on both plants. White Widow's buds are rock hard and keep bending its branches so hopefully the extra support will help. I cut off the main cola and a side cola of Industrial Plant CBD due to bud rot that I failed to notice for roughly a week. After cutting out all of the bud rot I could find on Industrial Plant I checked over her and White Widow meticulously to make sure everything was kosher. I added a spare oscillating fan in the tent to try and improve air circulation in the room. I have had trouble with humidity and temperature shifts throughout this grow -- something I'll have to dial in as I progress. I imagine the climate shifts combined with how thick the main cola was probably contributed to the bud rot. Seedsman White Widow Auto is ready to be harvested as of Day 100. Over 2 days her trichomes really started to turn amber. I have started flushing her as of today and plan to harvest a day or two into the start of Week 15. As for Dinafem Industrial Plant Autoflowering CBD? I am thinking of just cutting my losses if her trichomes haven't gotten to at least majority-milky by the time White Widow gets chopped. She just looks mostly-dead and only wants a drink once every 7-10 days now. That and I have some new gear I really want to test out, as well as some different ideas for my second run that I've been itching to get started on.

Incredible smell

Not much to report this week, the trichomes are still milky. My feeling is that it will take another 2-3 weeks until they are ready to harvest. Until then, I will continue with the fertilizer scheme. The smell of both strains is very pleasantly fruity (citrus) and I continue to monitor the VPD value and temperatures. This time there are no pictures and only videos they show better the development, in the time lapse you can still see a growth in the flowers, slow but there is still growth.

Welcome to GhostGrow Chapter One by PoshGrow! 🌳 Week #9 6th week of flowering. Humidifier was raplaced with dehumidifier to maintain 50% rH. Still fighting some high temperature problems, it was very hot last week and this one so far in my city and the temperature in my grow room(not tent) is high 30s 32s... So i keep my tent open and ventilated with additional standing fan. All strains look healthy, happy and stacking up some nice weight, except 2 strains, Alaskan #2 and Alaskan #5. Alaskan #2 Looks good but still falls behind in flowering time, also looks abit streesed out and with smaller budsites, dont know what to expect to be honest. Alaskan #5 As mentioned last week got some serious Nitrogen deficiency to fight with. No results at this moment... Alaskan #4 Seems to be fastest strain so far, stacked good buds, hard as rock top ones. Started watering only with pH'ed water for flush before harvest, because it seems to go down first of all this grow run, also I started to check its trichomes with mini digital microscope. 90% are cloudy, other still clear. Gonna wait till 10% amber & 90% cloudy before chopping this girl down. Lemon and Blueberry doing perfect, stacking up well, all trichomes are crystal clear☺️ Watering when needed(2, sometime 3 times a week), every other watering I used Fox Farm Big Bloom, Grow Big & Tiger Bloom. Except with Alaskan #5 watering, its more in experimenting mode with increased Grow Big dosage so wont be covering it here. UPDATE! JUNE 28TH. Uploaded 2 new videos and Alaskan #4 picture. Enjoy!

Bud wet weight : 168,1g of trimmed medium to big sized buds 25,4g of tiny tiny buds/larfs = 193.5 grams of trimmed wet buds. Details on genetics and smoke report above. This, as my first grow, is way more than I ever expected it to be. I haven´t had that much fun and enthusiasm in a very very long time. I can´t even explain the feeling it is to harvest your own cannabis, but I know most of you know what I´m talking about haha. It was really nice to practice LST, even tho it was SO HARD, ´cause I didn´t had barely any space to work since I used a hard pot and did not fill nearly half the size of it and the walls of the pot were really high. It was even difficult to water without dropping water on the lower buds. I haven´t learnt much about defoliation tho, I feel I need to study a little more about the phases you should or should not do it. Also, I discovered thrips are a pain in the ass. I had 2 tough weeks dealing with thrips, but in the end it was alright. I don´t have any humidity control device, which I intend to buy for the next grows. Growdiaries was really helpful for me, it kept me motivated everyday (not that I wouldn´t have had it anyways), the Grow Questions are REALLY useful and all the community is awesome. Thanks to all people that helped me here on GD during this first grow! To conclude it: I am really happy and satisfied with how the grow turned out. They look incredible, it almost feels like I can´t believe it still. Peace. UPDATES: 07/10 : The buds are now dry and already in curing jars, one of them with a Boveda 58% humidity pack. The total grams of the dry buds are: 41.4g (medium to big sized buds) 4.1g (tiny buds) = 45.5 grams! I´m really happy with the results, I thought it would be around 30g so yeah, that´s a really good surprise! In 2 weeks I´ll be back to update the smoke report. Thanks so much for reading! Peace. 09/10 : I managed to fit everything in the same container with some space between them, so now every bud is with the Boveda pack. 14/10: It´s been a week and the smell improved, it still smells a little like hay/plant ( even tho it´s not too dry neither too wet ). 21/10: Now it´s been two weeks and even tho the smell isn´t anymore hay, it´s a lot herbal. I really think the aroma can get better, but the taste is already good enough for me. The smoke report has been done and in case I have something to add, I´ll report here. Thank you so much for reading! Peace.

Seeds are buds are coming along nicely. Not sure if I mentioned but the cross is (Purple Punch x Purple #1) aka Purple Saitama

AlienZ Automatic - Greenhouse Seed Co. Day 75 - watered with 2L of RO tap water, mixed with the defined nutrients in order and then pH'd to 6.3. She's not bulking as much as I had hoped, so I've increased the Bio Heaven and Acti-Vera to boost her metabolism a bit 👌🏻 She's quite bushy, so I've removed a few fan leaves with a goal to improve light penetration and airflow 👍🏻 She's getting close to harvest now, so probably from next week I will start to reduce the nutrients in her feed, but for now I'm just going to let her grow 💪🏻
