Day 64 Flower (Day 106)
Today is the first day of the 10th week of flower and I put on a powerful headlight and some magnifying glasses and closely inspected the right girl during the dark period, so the colors from the grow lights didn't fool me.
Unfortunately, I found another couple of buds with bud rot. Soon I'll have to decide to harvest the plant now and cut my losses even though she isn't done, or I'll take my chances and let her go a while longer.
I turned up my extraction fan, installed another circulation fan, and ordered a dehumidifier that will arrive tomorrow. I'm hoping that all those measures will bring down the humidity in the tent (unfortunately, I can't do anything about the temps) and prevent further rot. I will let her go another few days and see if any additional rot pops up. Fingers crossed that it won't.
The left girl is just doing her thing, but it doesn't look like she will fatten her buds. I guess all that stress in the tiny tent was too much for her.
No matter what the result of this grow will be, it certainly has been a great learning experience.
Day 65 Flower (Day 107)
Things are looking good for the right girl as I haven't found any more bud rot yet. Turning up the extraction fan certainly helped, not only with the humidity but also the temperature dropped. Not by a huge amount, but I'll take whatever improvement I can get. Today the dehumidifier arrived as well, and I put it in the tent right away.
The humidity in the tent has now dropped from the high 60s to a much more suitable mid-40s, and I hope this will be enough together with additional air circulation to prevent any further rot.
I looked a bit closer at the trichomes today and found that most have gone cloudy, and I finally found some amber ones (about damn time!).
I'm aiming for around 20-25% amber in this harvest as I'm hoping for a relatively "heavy" smoke - one of those frying-pan-to-the-head kinds of smokes suitable for late nights.
Day 66 Flower (Day 108)
Still no signs of more bud rot. Fingers crossed
All I did today was to mix up some more nematodes in water and then feed each girl with 3 liters of it at ph 6.4.
I'm not sure it was necessary for my main tent as the fungus gnats seem to have died out by themselves. I put in a new yellow sticky trap yesterday, but it was still empty today, and many dead gnats were lying on the tent floor. I have no real idea why, as I don't use any pesticides, but maybe the gnats really don't like this new low humidity in the tent. In any case, I'm just happy that the little buggers are gone.
Day 67 Flower (Day 109)
The bud rot is still staying away, and I'm getting hopeful that it will stay gone.
All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.4 water. She was a bit thirsty as I had the irrigation turned off for a couple of days due to the nematodes I gave them yesterday.
I've now turned on the system in each tent and will just cruise along until harvest.
The girls are already way over time, but most trichomes are cloudy, and I've started to see some amber here and there. Although, not much of a fade so far.
Day 68 Flower (Day 110)
All I did today was snap a couple of pics.
It's all just a waiting game at this point, and I hope it won't take that much longer. I'm ready to cut the girls down and have some time off before the next season is here. I plan to grow a couple of photo CBD girls in my main tent and maybe an auto in my smaller tent. We'll see. But yeah, first, the current grow must come to an end. It looks like the left girl is starting to get her fade on, so there's that at least. I didn't bother looking at the trichomes today, but I'll have another look in a day or two.
Day 69 Flower (Day 111)
I didn't do a single thing with the girls today except snapping a couple of pics.
What I did, though, was to make a smoke test of the right girl. Let me explain: Earlier this week, I had to cut off four buds due to bud rot. Out of those four buds, I saved two small tops after trimming off all rot (as well as plenty more just to be safe). I left those tops on the tent floor, where they dried in only a few days, and yesterday I decided to try a smoke.
Naturally, I can't say anything about taste as this weed is dried the worst way possible: fast, hot, and in the light. On top of that, it's not cured either. That being said, holy smokes, batman! This stuff kicks like a mule, which is why I didn't post this last night already. I was too stoned to care. Precisely the effect I was hoping for from this harvest: properly stoned and incredibly lazy. Boom!
Day 70 Flower (Day 112)
Today was the last day of week 10 of flower. Not much exciting is happening this late in flower, so it is primarily a waiting game at this point. I did remove the irrigation system from the left girl and will hand water her instead. That cheap system I had was too erratic, and I'm better off without it. Plus, I hope that she will be done soon-ish. She will never win a beauty contest due to her scraggly foxtail flowers, but I'm still happy to get something from her considering all the stress she went through.
The right girl has been doing fine all week, and no other bud rot has been seen since I fixed her environment.
I rechecked the trichomes today, and still hardly any amber in either girl. I'll let them go for another week, but then it is time for the chopping block. This grow already went a lot longer than planned initially, and it is time to bring it to a close soon.

6th week of veg!!! 💚💡🌱 Lots of growth in the last 2-3days, color looks great a couple twisted leaves on #4 but nothing major..we've removed a large fan for better light penetration on #1 & #2..temps have been awesome since the weather changed, plants are loving the intense light and mild climate. We have no real game plan for flower (besides not getting overgrown lol) but size will definitely determine when we flip.. I would assume 2 more weeks at this rate of growth but time will tell.. everyone is eating a little with every watering now (water only every 3rd/4th) and things look great! (for now lol)..Thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! 🌱😽💨

We've been running the MarsHydro at 29" this entire grow (found my tape measure lol) and the node spacing is still really tight, I assume there's a lot more red in SP-3000 than lights we've used in the past, at 29" these little plants have side stems as fat as pencils..We plan to keep the light at this distance all thru veg and we'll begin lowering it at the start of flower...plants are coming along nicely, much more growth in the last few days than the previous week. I'm REALLY excited for this grow..I think the SP-3000 will deliver us a half lb or more of Bruce Banger with very little effort..I couldn't be more in love with this setup....
.....until i buy my 2nd SP-3000 that is 😸

well, it's exactly 12 weeks :) and my house is full of lemon aroma :) the girl endured really difficult growth, but she coped with everything perfectly :) who followed the growth, you saw that she grew on the balcony for 10 weeks, and she spent the last 2 in the grow tent :) 500 gr wet weight !!!!:) , before putting it in the ground I expected less than 10 g dry yield :D then this growth turned out super well, if it wasn't for my vacation I would have let it grow for about 2 weeks I think. but everything is still very good, I'll go home, fix it and do a smoke review :).

The final Week, before harvest! She has some massive towering buds!
2.5 gallons of water is lasting this plant 5-6 days before drying out, and ready for more.. She was harvested instead of being watered!

Graduated, and am off from work for a few weeks, so went overboard on photos. Plant is doing well, leaves are starting to turn yellow (strain trait).
Can't wait for the harvest and being able legally gift my xmas ornaments to my cousins during our "cousins walk" at our family xmas party.

Hi everyone ! 😀
Everything is ok, no disease, no carrency. but 2 ladies don't want to stretch a lot :/ ( the 2 on the corner, bottom left and Top right ) i don't know why. maybe it's the variety. i have 4 Skunk XL and 2 Critical. Maybe these 2 are the critical ( yes i lost them when i plant the seed 😩 ... )
No more pH fluctuation ( i love that )
EC is around 1.9/2.0 and increase to 2.1/2.2 when they drink a lot so i add water with 1.7 ec to decrease it to 1.9/2.0 again
I added 30L of water since i changed the water ( 2 tanks * 20L / i change it the 11/05/18 ) so i'm gonna change the whole solution during the week.
See you next week !

Jun 10:
Watered less than half gallon of Ph 6.7 water.
Jun 12:
That watering really gave a growth spurt! Bumping the humidity up to a max of 81% til early flower.
Jun 13:
Plant is tall enough to tie down the main stem to the side. Once the other stems get longer, I'll tie them down to the rim of the bucket as well, to maximize light exposure.
Jun 15:
Buckets are getting lighter, but the soil is moist, meaning my humidity was too high. That lead to some mold and algae that I will treat with spray Neem oil. Smells terrible, but should do the trick. Lowering humidity to 65% for a bit, then will probably get closer to 75% over the next few days.
Decided to top, since the plant is getting big enough to support it!

I just fed the Nebula plant on day 139 the rest got straight water.
Added HLG Scorpion R Spec light panel today, very heavy, had to use two poles for support.
PPFDs across canvas seem to be in good flowering range now hung at 18" hope to finish in a couple weeks more or less.

The High intensity was to strong (clearly my fault) in the beginning which stunted her overall stretch, she however still delivered super dense, terpene and trichome loaded buds.

📆 Semana 5:
La planta sigue con su ritmo firme y constante. Los cogollos siguen engordando, ahora con más densidad y compactación. La resina se vuelve aún más abundante, cubriendo prácticamente toda la parte superior y algunas hojas vecinas.
El aroma se intensifica y se vuelve más complejo, con notas dulces y un toque terroso que empieza a destacar. La planta mantiene un consumo estable y adecuado de agua y nutrientes, sin mostrar estrés ni señales negativas.
La estructura aguanta bien el peso, gracias a una ramificación sólida y entrenudos aún cortos para lo que suele ser una auto XL. La floración sigue en pleno apogeo, y se ve que la calidad apunta alto.
Todo sigue marchando como debe, y la cosecha promete ser muy buena.
¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

well all is going well the buds are developing good and it looks like i'm going to have a good harvest after all.
stopt giving the canna pk13/14 and lowered all the nutrient a little bit.
saw some tips of the leaves a little bit burned.
its my first time under the viparspectra and i'm curious about the outcome.
next week more news....
tried a technique called bud swelling on some stems of my plant.
you cut of the tops from al the buds on your stem and they should get bigger . let's try it on 4 stems and see in a few weeks if this technique makes a difference. i will add a video how i did it and this you need to do with al the buds .

Some old autos I’ve been working on crossing for awhile. Making the switch back to coco so just doing a small LST test run and a cheap drip emitter system. Did the old paper towel method in a Tupperware container placed onto a heating pad with 100% sprouted.
Started on a very diluted feed.
Letting them get anchored and will switch to bottom feeding for my first few feeds to get the roots chasing the moisture to build a solid root system early, then back to the top drip system.
Going to be playing with some of my leftover nutes so won’t be following any set charts.

Kannabia Run – Flowering Day 7 🌸
It’s been 7 days since we flipped to 12/12, and the stretch is already happening! 🌿✨ The plants are growing fast, and we can already see the first pistils showing — a beautiful sign that flowering has officially begun. 🌸💚
Everything looks healthy and strong so far. The Monkey Grease in particular are showing a lot of potential — these ladies clearly want to grow big! 💪🔥 Some good LST will definitely help shape them and maximize their yield.
Excited to see how they evolve over the next weeks! 🚀.

LIGHT: Playing around with various heights on the new light. Worried, because Cheecha is not doing well at all. Can't tell if it is nutrient burn, light burn, root rot, or dehydration.
WATER: Getting ready for a trip this week, so allowing the soil to dry a few days, then I'll give each plant a good watering with a mild fertilizer mix.
TRAINING: The topping looks like it worked well, with noticeable new leaves appearing.

I know why they call em girls now. You get to obsessed and you scare em away. This is not a casual hobby for me anymore. I have been sucked in to this underground world of cool people. If i had a feeling the inline fan needed an adjustment, i would jump out of bed. Before i go to bed, i say my prayers. Im Catholic so a prayer to St Francis of Assisi is a smart move. Even if your an athiest, its worth the 30 seconds and its cheaper than the latest must have miracle chemicle. If your wrong, you lose nothing but if you are right and you know it? you better let me know . You could just say,"St Francis, i dont believe you are real but if you are, would you please grow me some crazy big, solid dank!" This is not ez. The panic waiting for seeds to germinate and then actually take off and you have to pay constant attention to everything. At least i do and its never enough. I keep thinking spring is almost here and all you gotta due is plant,water and harvest but i have come to far with indoor growing so i plan to stop indoors on the day that i die. this is way too cool and everybody here is way too cool. For some reason i totally destroyed the previous grow and the main reason was i was smoking the other last grow all through the thing and couldnt even remember if i just watered or if i was about to and etc..anyway i have developed an elaborate way to water wo getting nutes all over the buds in dense spots esp. i mix in a 1 gallon container,pour into measuring cup and them water through a funnel, slowly and even. ALSO I MADE A GIANT MISTAKE AND SUDDENLY REALIZED MY LIGHTS SHOULD BE A COUPLE INCHES LOWER. So its been warm and im raking out by the road and a neighbor starts telling me the latest on the people on the corner, part, so we start talking about indoor growing and next thing, were showing eachother grow pics and talking bro science and the ultra importance of drying and curing. Instant guy to have stimulating and relevant conversation with and we have been both doing the same thing secretly for past 3 years.. I suspect its a much bigger community than i think i hope this grow does well. these 2 strains are known to grow short and i lst'd them big time so i hope this doesnt have a negative effect somehow. EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT AND IM LOOKING FOR PROBLEMS. ENOUGH OF THAT FOR TODAY. HAPPY GROWING!!
