Hello, friends, I Welcome you again from Russia. Comes week 5 photoperiod Bubblelicious. I planned to make clones of this plant, but unfortunately the whole place is occupied by other projects, and temporarily I have to give up this idea, but I will continue to grow this plant, later on, I still make clones, and while I tear off the vegetative leaves and give free growth.

Giving Alien Vs Triangle a second try after my first started showing signs of herming (bananas). Planted the seed directly in soil and she sprouted in 5 days. I'm not going to do HST bending as I did with the first one. I know I accidentally went overboard with HST the first time and that most likely caused her to herm out. I want to get her to harvest as quickly as possible so just going to do some light defoliation and a FIM pinch on this girl. The first AVT smelled insanely good when I chopped her, I'm looking forward to bringing this one to a proper harvest. 👍 My Perpetual Harvest strategy…. Originally my plan was to start 2 seeds each month, but had some seeds from one breeder that did not germinate early in my rotation. Ultimately, this caused single seeds to pop and messed up my 2 at a time plans. But, that seemed to work out OK, because now I think starting one seed every 3 weeks is a better strategy. This should provide me with 4-5 plants at a time, instead of 6. However… Since I need to shut down over the summer because my tent is currently in the attic, I’m starting 2-3 seeds at at time for the last couple of rounds. Plants get fed once weekly on weekends. Seedlings get water only. Plants in vegetation get water and Recharge. Flowering plants get water, Recharge or Big Bloom (Fox Farm). Feeding is done using 2 gallon watering can. Any additional waterings during the week are given on an as needed basis per plant. I lift the plants to help determine which plants are more dry (lighter) and provide water any plants via water bottles and watering spikes. I give each pot a quarter turn every day in an effort to make sure the plants get equal lighting from all sides. I rotate the plant in place by turning the pot 90 degrees (I am not rearranging the layout of the plants in the tent on a daily basis). The soil is an ‘organic super soil’ I mixed myself using organic top soil, organic potting soil, organic compost, organic peat moss, organic perlite, organic vermiculite, lime, epsom salt, expanded clay pellets and Jobe’s organic fast start. I am also recycling my soil and water with Recharge when using recycled soil. For plant training I have tried a variety of things, but my plans now are to do LST bending only, no HST anymore. I may decide to go back to HST again in the future, but I’m curious to compare LST training only to see how that goes. Around week 3 I'll do a FIM pinch once there are 4-5 nodes established. And some defoliation around the 3rd week of flowering. I have been doing HST bending and having good results, but think the HST may be causing the plants to take longer to harvest. I hope FIM/defoliation only will help increase harvests while getting me to harvest sooner. Setup: 1- Grow Tent 24”x48”x72” 2- Viparspectra 300W LED’s (1-V300 & 1-R300) 1- Hanging 100w CFL (26w actual) 1- Carbon Filter w/ 190cfm Fan & 4” ducts 1- 6” clip-on fan 1- 700w electric heater - oil filled radiator (in front of air intake behind tent)

420 Fastbuds Week 6 Gorilla Cookies Auto Weekly update. Thus week has been getting chilly. Down to the mid 50's at night inside the tent. I did add General Hydroponics 3 part flora series to give a little boost. So far both seem to be OK and progressing beautifully into mid flower stage. All in all Happy Growing

Slowly slowly catchy monkey 😂 looking good for its final week, pistils are now starting to change colour. Fox tail is still present but not too bad. This week will be the time for the snip following magnesium deficiency and a flush of 0 ppm water via 7 stage filter.

What’s up yall!!?? Week 6 and we got some serious buds growing in. Some of the sites that I thought wouldn’t produce actually surprised me. I haven’t changed much with this grow. I think the flush I did worked well and the plant seemed to react in a positive way. Trellis net and some LST just to get light down to the lower sites seem to have worked. No real change in nutrient and feeding. I do feed every watering so there I no skipping. I still use the General Hydroponics flora series and some cal mag. That’s literally all! See y’all in week 7

Sorry about the extended updates. Coronavirus has took a toll, and as an essential worker I’ve had to step up to the plate. Plants are doing fine. Much has been learned from this grow, so if any questions be free to ask.

Colombian Jack's buds got girthy this week like almost double what they were last week. Hard to get a picture because of the leaves but these are gonna be some soda cans. the are making nice cones and stacking up top and down below. smelling super good too. Pineapple terps for sure. Starting to get curious about microclimates in my tents, the Euphoria i grew in the same spot last year had pineapple terps, and my white widow, green poison, and witches wedding grown in same spot in the other tent all showing similar expressions. Flowers stacking hard and Still drinking 6-8 gallons of water every 3 days. Getting oranges hairs and resin production is ramping up. I was able to get a batch of boogie brew in this week. I also went ahead and added the bee pollen I was curious about. It has lots of ammino acids, and so does the fish fertilizer i have but I don't like using that in flower so maybe this could help. Its been sitting around for years and says its expired in 2019 though i don't think it ever really goes bad unless it moldy or something. I figure at worst I piss off some people for being curious. So i dissolved it in some water and added about a cup to about 40 gallons of water. Each plant got roughly 1/4 cup. I been pushing these plants to the limit. I haven't been wanting to turn my lights down because they are helping to keep my humidity in check. Even been running the de-humidifier day and night now. Also been trying to go an extra day between watering to keep the humidity down as well. it was over 90 percent humidity much of the weeks outside. The thermostat got messed with mid week and temps in the tents got to 92 again a few hours at the end of their day cycle. I think this week I will adjust the lights to turn off 30 minutes sooner, and try to get them to start drinking a little less water

reach for the sky!! Holy cow these ladies are going off. watch the time-lapse the end of week 3 and the stretch begins. the dark devils are showing the auto gene well they are stretching as well but not like the red poisons wow. going to le the dark devils dry out a little i think that strain does not like to much water. the red poisons are drinking like crazy. so already starting to flower at the end of week three. going to hold off on any flowering supplements for now to see if they are still eating the food that's in the mix still. cruising along see Ya next week.

I'm not sure how I missed it, but one of the plants partially seeded, which isn't awesome. Definitely going to kill off this pheno and try a different seed in the future. It's a shame because that great bubba smell, flavor and high are all there and I did harvest a decent weight. I didn't take pictures unfortunately outside of one on my phone. I mean I guess I could take photos of the grove bags, but that's kind of boring. Making this post to close out the journal because I forgot to before. I'll need to make sure my next grow diaries get the harvest shots.

She looks very good,she ended up being very small very different to her sister lemon pie #2 plus my freaking dog took her off some leafs 😑🙄 She smell like gods vagina, such a very sweet and powerful lemony aroma,just so you can imagine,smell like moby dick but much more sweet. She's producing a hole lot of resin, unfortunately she's not going to be very productive due to his very small size, wish I could grow her again man 😔😣 I'm in love with this genetic

✋Wk 7: Will the size difference begin to fall in line with the predictions, and rearranging the wind. 👉 This week is Day 48 thru Day 54 total. (Feb 16 thru 22). Today (day 54ttl) the 1 gallon plant is at day 21 flower and the 3 gallon is at day 9 flower. 👉 This week has shown some interesting things. The 1 gallon plant is still ahead in the physical timeline, and has also started to demonstrate how the smaller pot is limiting its size. The 1 gallon has been ahead of the 3 gallon plant in size and stature, until this week. The 1 gallon has stopped stretching and is beginning to develop its flowers. I was worried it would continue to get bigger and may become an issue vertically as well as horizontally. The 3 gallon plant has grown a few inches and isn’t really stretching up yet, but it is growing overall in size. It’s a big dome of leaves right now. Its main cola is same height as a couple of the secondary branches. I doubt the main cola will remain the same but this plant hasn’t been typical from its germination so only time will tell. 👉 The other interesting thing has actually been trending this way for a couple of weeks…the run-off for both plants has been lower than the inflow and no low EC fertigation has been needed. The 1 gallons roots are undoubtedly densely packed in the pot. It takes several minutes to apply the nutrient solution. The volume needed has also increased. The 3 gallon still readily accepts the solution, but it takes more every day and the run off takes longer to start running out of the bottom. The saturation level of both pots has increased, and the 3 gallon especially. The EC for both has stayed below the inflow EC. This is unusual because part of the volume of water in the pot when saturated isn’t absorbed by the plant, it evaporates on all sides of the pot and the top of the media. This would leave the dried nutrients wich would rinse off at each fertigation adding to the TDS. The reduction of EC in the run-off means the nutrients are being utilized by the plant. I have dropped the inflow EC of the 3 gallon a little because I was worried about burn. I have kept the EC of the 1 gallon plant at the low end of the recommended EC range of the General Hydroponics drain to waste nutrient schedule chart for the Flora series of nutrients. I use the entire line of these nutrients. For the one gallon I had been giving it only the “simple program”, and the 3 gallon the “expert” (entire line). This week when I noted that the stretch has pretty much ended for the 1 gallon, and decided that I will go ahead and give it the expert mixture as well but given at the low end of the EC range still. Ive included the Fertigation log for the week. It shows the tent temps, the outdoor temps and HVAC setting. Also, I note when a fresh batch is made and what week on the schedule it is. Each pot has the recorded time of fertigation, volume, pH, and EC of the solution given and the corresponding run-off. I mix the solutions at full strength and use a solution with just silica and Cali-magic to reduce the EC to the desired EC. I mix that in at fertigation time. I also adjust the pH if necessary at this time. 👉 The structure of the 1 gallon is very stout main trunk, and each branch is very sturdy. The bigger fan leaf production has given way to smaller leaves. The structure of the 3 gallon also has a very stout main trunk and each branch is very sturdy. The 3 gallon has some very large fan leaves and it has lots of vegetation. Its very dense and hard to peer inside. For both plants I have begun to selectively remove branches that would not be producing anything but larf. The 1 gallon only needed the lowest main branches trimmed. I also removed some of its smaller shaded secondary branches and leaves inside the canopy. The trimming on the 3 gallon is similar, however its much harder to get inside. I just do a little at a time at each fertigation. Im not sure if the first set of branches on the 3 gallon will be tall enough to keep but I want to wait till the plant starts stretching to see what they will do. Ive left as many leaves as possible in the 3 gallon…a lot of really nice fat food factories. This plant may go very large, or it may stay somewhat stunted as it did during the early veg phase. 👉 I positioned the plants I closer to the back wall. I bought a oscillating tower fan and was hoping it would be a good addition to the tent. Alas, it had too strong of a wind current (on the lowest speed) and the 1 gallon was showing signs of wind stress after 2 days. So I removed the fan and re-positioned the smaller fans I had clipped up top of the tent. Both fans are now hanging lower on adjustable ropes and point toward the plants. They are working well like this and the air flow is good. I may modify the oscillating fan and install a variable resistor to the fan motor to reduce the flow. I have added the branch support to the legs of the stand the 1 gallon is on. These posts will be used to support the weight of buds or position them as needed. I will add the support posts to the 3 gallon plant after it has gone thru its stretch, maybe another 2 weeks for that.
