I fed them again today. They haven’t been properly fed, this will be their first full feed. Hopefully they react well. Had some trouble with figuring out the nutes concentrations. Thanks to everyone who’s aided me with this grow. Big up to y’all.

Flowering looks awesome on the ChemDog! Lots of bud sites and they're growing at a respectable rate. ATF's are running 3 plants in 3 diff stages- one's a couple weeks into flower, one's just starting,and one's still the holdout. Meanwhile, I've got flowering on the Night Nurse and one of the Viper Cookies. The rest are close but I can't say for sure they've transitioned. Weather's getting into a hot and humid phase, gotta watch that ChemDog. Think it's got a decent structure for ventilation but I've read horror stories on how the Dog loves mold. Further training of the branches has been fruitful, I'm seeing a lot more topside bud sites than usual. I'm working on irrigation-- I set up a 30 gal container and it works for drip, but without a pipe system it's still one at a time, although I have to admit it's worth it to save my back. Plus, I have to have a supply ready for use in case my buddy needs to fill in for me and water the ladies. Been checking the cameras regularly ( I have them all throughout the property, game cameras with IR flash), and to date haven't seen anything that would constitute a threat. Just some curious raccoons and one really ugly opossum. Even the skunks don't bother them this year, which is nice but a little strange considering they dig in them every year. It's really just the animals I'm watching for, people aren't as much of a concern. Mostly because I don't know any. Aside from that, I sleep with my head feet away from my babies, so somebody would have to have big brass ones to even try. Yes, I know, a little overprotective. Fingers crossed it'll be one hell of a harvest (by my standards). 8/11 Update: Been lucky still with the weather, but it's turning really humid. Fed the girls this morning, a mix of 1C molasses and 1/2C epsom salt in 20 gallons. Just a little supplement to the tiger bloom they've been feasting on. Speaking of the Tiger Bloom, I can't help but think I'd do just as well mixing my own nutrient solution, since the cost really adds up quick. For his year, however, it'll be fine. My watering gizmo is working well, just leaks a tiny bit and that's fine for the remainder of the year. Now that I have an idea of what works for me I can spend the off-season setting up something right. Had to thin out the Lamb's a bit, it wasn't getting anywhere near enough air flow. Also took a few on the ChemDog as I'm expecting mold/rot conditions for a while and she's prone. Shouldn't have much problem, wind blows almost constantly here, but you can never be too careful. Training is taking well, overall they look pretty good. Next year-- bigger grow bags, better soil, and much pickier seed choices. I think I may even abandon the idea of topping them in the future-- it just slows them down and you can get the same end results with training. Granted, my ladies are kinda sparse and ugly, but that's the learning curve. Next time around I think I have a pretty good idea of what to do and when to do it, based on what worked and didn't work this year. Another big thing is nutrient timing-- I def jumped the gun on flower power for a few of them and it just stunted them wicked-- shoulda continued veg food a couple weeks into flower even for the early bloomer, she'd be a monster.

Hello, it’s another week report. All plants grew in height like nuts and gained aprox. 20 cm. The AMG’s Sativa genetics is now coming to all its shine and she’s much bigger compared to Green gelatos. They’ve came into the flowering stage and I expect some big buds as they will be developing. Thanks everybody to stopping by 🙏🤪 Happy growing. Update: made another photo in the tent - what a lovely view. I could sit and enjoy watching these ladies. Have my fingers crossed for AMG to slowly stop growing to the top of my tent 🍀

Growing very beautifuly and as intented. I changed the nutrition line to a brand where you feed it Once a week, and rest of the time use Phd Water. Im also adding a secret bloom booster! (Hint: It makes the water purple) More pictures from Week 12 are incoming. I have been busy harvesting my first plant ever(Cream Caramel in my diary) To avoid Caterpillar(Larvae) damage, I remove any fan leaves that has Damage, a larvae or larvae poop/eggs on it(black dots). Fortunally this plant has been much better than my previous one, I used Neem Oil treatment and it seems to work better, also I have fresh Peppermint, Lavender among other plants now in the garden that helps against different kinds of outdoor damage. As a precaution I am massively defoliating the plant, and on my other photoperiod plant, as an experiment I decided to remove big fan leaves of some of main bud sites, the ones I removed fan leaves on, had denser and bigger buds when harvesting. I also tried doing it 50/50 experiment on the plant last week of bloom, and even there I could see a difference in harvest weight. So I might continue with this, depending on how future harvests go. ✌️🏽💚

Day 85 Day 50 Flower Friday 17/05/24 She seems to have exploded since I sorted the temps. The tops seem to be swelling again normally, fox tailed to shit at very tops but all under are nice and swelling up more. Last Feed today. Day 87 Day 52 Flower 19/05/24 - Sunday. Water today with calmag She really has recovered well, that 1 week of stress really did her dirty for tox tailing. But, she has recovered and now has fist sized nuggets forming everywhere. She is a beast 💪💚 Day 89 Day 54 Flower - pH water , 5l 2.2l run off. Day 90 Day 55 flower 22/05/24 - Wednesday So I'm debating, chopping her at end of this week, or trying to allow another week just to ripen further, all depends on my tre lime auto for space. She looks ready, all trichomes cloudy with tiny partial amber's showing. I would love to see more amber as I like my smokes to be sleepers.

Hello my grower friends. As @xii_xii_mrgreen suggested me, I am sharing with you the recipe for Marrakech butter. It's cannabis butter made with all the leftover waist, curing, and leftover grinders. Each time a leaf is filled with resin, I put it aside. After a few sessions, I have enough to make ganja butter. For this tour there are cultural leftovers loaded with THC and almost as much CBD. It is also a good technique to fully use plants grown outdoors that have more leaves than indoors. Ingredients and utensils I live in an area that produces a lot of butter. I chose the best: echiré butter. https://www. echirelebeurredefrance. fr/ I saw some at Harrods, KDW and Corte Ingles. I only visit the top floor of these stores. Otherwise, choose a good, greasy, yellow butter. Gauze or compresses filter the mixture finely so as not to find small pieces of grass in the butter. This recipe is only valid for real butter and does not work with vegetable butter. Preparation Before rolling the recipe you can boil your ganja for 5 minutes to “clean” it if it is dusty. It must then be dried for at least 2 days. I do not do this so as not to degrade the good stuff and when cooling the impurities remain at the bottom in the juice, the butter is on top. Recipe THC and CBD are activated by decarboxylating ganja. You have to put everything in the grinder first, there are other faster techniques, but the grinder produces a fine cut. I used a bigger one than in the photo. Place everything on a wire rack with baking paper for 40 minutes at 110°C in the oven. It smells great, watch out for your neighbors. At this stage you can set some aside to season your pizza. Estimate the quantity compared to what you put into a hit. It is not necessarily a good idea to put it in a simmering dish because it changes the taste a lot. I melt 4 times the weight of the butter leaves in 4 times the weight of the butter in water. So here for 35g of leaves I melt 140g rounded to 150g of butter in 600g of water in a stainless steel saucepan. Heat until the butter. Add the leaves and mix gently. Cover a tiny amount of broth. The water stays below and should not completely evaporate. This is very important otherwise the butter or the leaves are burnt. It is necessary that the grease begins to isolate on the surface. It takes between 2 am and 3 am. It smells much less good than in the oven and disgusting, which is why I do not recommend putting it in stewed dishes. Allow to cool to room temperature. When the soup is lukewarm it must be filtered. To facilitate demolding, I recommend that you put plastic film at the bottom of a fully concave bowl, put gauze or compresses to refine the filtration. It's also easier to press the rest of the leaves. The fats will float on the cooking juices. When the bowl is cold, put it in the fridge. The next day unmold. I got 92g of Marrakech butter. Potency should be tested on an empty stomach and adjusted in small quantities every hour. Use Butter is ready and can be consumed immediately. It is perfectly digestible but the taste is not very good. In the form of butter, the best is to spread it on bread with a slice of smoked salmon on top, a few drops of lemon and serve a glass of chablis. Very good also spread on bread to accompany oysters. Probably its green, grassy taste is reminiscent of seaweed. It loses some of its flavor mixed with chocolate and spread. You can melt a little bit of it in the tomato sauce of your pasta or the soysauce of your rice especially if you eat fish: soysauce water nuoc mam 30 seconds in the microwave, melt only after a little butter in the hot sauce and pour over your rice. You can use it in all hot or cold culinary preparations in place of regular butter if you don't use it all, cut it into individually wrapped portions in cling film and put all of these portions in a freezer bag in the freezer. It holds up very well. Tell me if it is not clear, I will make as many changes to adapt the translation. Bon appetit. M assisted by Mister Z.

En esta 3ra semana le corte los primeros 4 brotes a cada planta, ya que considero que esos primeros brotes quedan tapados por la luz y no se desarrollan tanto. Han crecido de buena manera, aunque el color verde de las hojas no es pareja, quizás la poda les afectó un poco o porque la extracción sigue siendo pasiva para mantener la humedad y eso afecta al proceso metabolico. Durante la próxima semana el fertilizante de root-juice lo cambiaré por vitamax pro, y mejorare la entrada y salida de aire. .... Se me había olvidado agregar a la solución de agua de bidon Cal-max, tal vez eso les faltaba, lo tendré en cuenta.

One of my ladies is a little yellow I will admit the coast of maine soil was used once but with a very small root system. I suspect much of the nutrients may have been washed away. That bieng said our friend in the fox farm soil is looking AMAZING. I am going to do my best to continue feeding the more deficient auto & it doesn't seem to be blinking an eye to its issues. The smell is very strong with these already! Check back next week to see just how fast she buds & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!!

After two full weeks of water cup and covered germination station, transplanted all seedlings into 1 qt pots with Fox Farms Happy Frog soil. 13/15 plants seem to be taking well to the transplant. Two of the watermelons and one of the critical are struggling and may end of being tossed. Was struggling to keep temps up with the LED lights off so a ceramic heater set at 70 deg F was added. I also added 2 DIY C02 generators using 2 cups of sugar and 2 tsp of active dry yeast for each generator to try and boost the C02 levels is a bit.

Pretty easy first grow, with a lot learnt along the way for next time. I believe not defoliating enough and overfeeding the nitrogen in flower hurt the bud density in the end, but I'm more than happy with the returns and as its vape use, dense flower is less important to me.
