We decided to move the light from 24" to 30" to try widening the nodes a little before dropping back to 24", we're in unamended Promix so we typically start thinking about feed this week but being autos we're going to take it slow and wait on color ques before making that move (probably next week for sure)...thanks for reading and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️💡🌱😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~ 10/25/21 😺 We gave all plants a very, very light feeding (<3ml/gal) to see how they tolerate it, its super early but a few were already beginning to wash out ..We started bending plants today, low stress only for these girl and everything looks great so far! This MarsHydro is intense, the node spacing is extremely tight on all plants and growth has been really steady (especially these last few days), we couldn't be happier!

Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

March 3: Added a few pics. All is growing right on target! Buds are starting to stack and I absolutely love the smell coming out of the flower room. These next 3-4 weeks are my favorite 😊 March 1: Four weeks since light switchover to 12/12. Technically I call this end of week 2 of flowering since I don't count pre-flower. Managed to get a video although the quality isn't what I would like. Grow is going very well. I kept 4 plants that I didn't top as an experiment this grow since I always top and have never let them go au natural :-) Last time I do that though. Feeding big bloom at a rate of 3 tsp per gallon every other watering. Going to add some bloom boost this upcoming week. I'm quite happy all in all with how this particular grow is going. Humidity got a bit high this week 60 and I immediately took steps to remedy this. Now humidity is around 50. Don't want dreaded bud rot! I'll add some additional pictures this week in the meantime enjoy the video and beware of dog near the end :-D

they have started to flower on schedule

Mohawk Meds: Banana Flambe (BF): Day 42, 7 Weeks from seed. Healthy & green. Battled some High temps this week. Built a DIY water cooling system in the duck work along with lowering power to the lights but moving them closer to maintain PPFD & created an intake of cooler air to my closed loop system. All these things brought temps back to low-mid 70's from low 90's I was having. Through the week BF never wilted from the heat but didn't grow as much as it should have. Weekly Environment: 85-91F, 48-54% RH, 750-850 PPFD, & 550-875 CO2. Also topped BF #2 & #3 on the 5th Node. Decided to keep #1 as a Mother.

Esta semana la GG auto 1 se le ha doblado la punta por el viento que hizo

Increased nutrients to 11ml/gal each. Trichomes still mostly clear. Several weeks of flower left yet.

Ladies and gentlemen, this girl is officially flipped.. The stretch has commenced, and now we wait.. I'm hoping this girl does not outgrow my tent. I have a feeling it's a possibility. The good news is, I'm not using my old nutrients. Because if I was she definitely would with that being said sorry for my lack of being on here. I would blame it on work.But to be honest, i'm blaming it on grow diaries, because it's just such a pain to use it's not enjoyable. It's a real pain if you're using a phone like myself and I do not have a cheap phone, so it is definitely not me. It's almost like the people don't have their heads screwed on straight and every six months they just change everything up, thinking that they're making it better not realizing that they're driving people away.. With that being said, I hope everyone is well and I hope they are able to navigate this site better than I am, because i'm losing interest very quickly

-good week of bulking up -NYC Sour D is still getting taller, gonna have a good canopy -both plants gulping a gallon a day out of the sip pots. -Growdots and recharge. so weird not putting nute in the water.

Finaly !!! They grow, but still too weak to become something really good ... Cleaned bottoms at the end of the week. Quess all LST and training is finished. Plants small, branches weak, flowers VERY SMALL ... Ehhhh ... Next grow will be super, so lets finish that auto crap ... Thats how i feel. Took fish mix out, will take cal mag, silica acid and bio grow out next ... P.s. so i am sick and bored, so started to show some interest to girls , 5 days in bed is tough... After feed, water, i would do one more water, but this time i went for fat table spoon of molasses / 10 liters of water, plus extra cal/mag feed, some leaves are already showing sings of overfeeding, but plants so small, that i need to do something, ussually to do everything worse ;)) I will try to bump the feed for couple weeks as well. From next week all 2x ;) Have to take out all ec meters from shed, just not to poison girls and soil with overdose ...

o Compost tea in week 3 -earthworm casting -steer manure / compost -DynaMyco -Bokashi juice -PK BOSTOER o Major Defoliation o Foliat Stapy tap water PH 8.50 o increase the amount of bloom booster

I transplanted, leaf stripped, and flipped all within 5 days bc they were growing too tall. Not ideal. They are tough

First heavy trimming
