Day 52 of flower. Only cannatonic remains. Had a good look at the trichomes on all and most were ready with some getting busy with the ambers. The ultimate had many colas filled with milky trichomes as did Durban poison and Exocet haze. Got them just in time but strange how the schedules were pushed up by soo much. Was expecting to get busy over the next 2 weeks. Photos are from yesterday. I have been experiencing power issues affecting the light schedules which is my theory behind the speedy flower.

Day 49 of flower. Week 7 done. Bubba harvest imminent with some others looking quite close. Tent will get more space soon as bubba is harvested. Trichomes are looking almost perfect. Tomorrow morning/evening should be perfect.

Day 46 flower. Bubba is looking wow. Couple days out by my eye. The others have a week or 3 to go. Pretty much every week one more goes down so we will focus on those next up.

5 years ago

Day 44 of flower. Decided to lead strip the grow. Removed the trellis for a while to make some changes. Raised the shortest one. Bubba island looking good. Should be less than a week to go. I’ll get you some close ups next time.

5 years ago

Day 40 of flower. Good development in the buds. Increased the feed level a bit over normal due to some deficiencies. Last feed for bubba island done with around a week/ and a half to go.

5 years ago

Day 37 of flower. Just another entry for the log. Got some deficiency showing in Durban poison and The Ultimate. Will look to adjust feed slightly on next feeding.

5 years ago

Day 36 of flower. Week 6 has started. Needed some support for the girls as they getting a bit heavy and taking strain. Starting to see some expansion on the buds which is pleasing.

5 years ago

Day 33 of flower. Almost end of week 5. They are getting a bit of girth going on and the smell is getting amazing.

5 years ago

Day 29 of flower, beginning of week 5. Now they looking frosty and fattening out. Smells are super. Got about 3 weeks before bubba island is done. Got about 2 weeks of feed left before flushing and watering only.

5 years ago

Day 26 of flower. And OMG found some hermaphroditism in bubba island! Some of the lower sites showed and were chopped. Removed all I could find. Will keep a close eye on it over the next few days. That are your guys thoughts? Oh, I did find and removes 3 more leaves with small PWM spots on bubba, so stress induced ? They affected areas on Bubba are close to the tent sides and may touch due to negative pressure when closed, could this affect them?

5 years ago

Day 24. Week 4 day 3. Progressing well and fattening up nicely. Got some nice smells going on. Found some early spots of PWM, which was not pleasing. Been away for 2 days and encountered some circulation issues which is the likely cause, readjusted the fans to suit after the previous adjustments seem to have had a negative effect. Removed all traces of PWM on leaves, Flower sites and stalks, pretty much only affecting the lowers so not too much lost and cut a few questionable lowers that may have been tainted. Looking better and the removal managed to clear up the under canopy and improve airflow.

Day 22 of flower. Stretch should be over by end of week3 and looks to be done. Now it's on to getting some nice bud development.

5 years ago

Day 20 of flower. Today was lead strip day. Headline photo is the after and there should be a before. Watered and fed after the strip. Should be a couple of days and they will be looking a bit better filled out. Light can get through the canopy. Stripped out some smaller branches that are detracting from the overall nutrient distribution. Would have been better if they were stripped a bit better when transitioning though we learn. Now to keep an extra keen eye and keep the ladies happy and stress free.

Day 18 of flower. Each of them doing their thing. Watered and fed to the schedules.

5 years ago

Day 17 of flower. Starting to see more deleopment in the budlets forming.

5 years ago

Day 16 of flower. Week 3 - day 2. Exocet haze in the back left is getting his stretch going on but slow and steady. Going to have to do a defoliation end/ near the end of the week to get unrestricted light to as much of the canopy and as deep into the canopy as possible. Going to be a bit higher risk, though worth the reward. Any thoughts on when to defoliate? Stripped many leaves a few days back so needing some recovery time.

5 years ago

Day 15 of flower. Start of week 3 and progress as normal. Nothing out of the ordinary. Watered/fed the plants today.

5 years ago

Day 14 of flower. End of week 2. More of them developing bud sites and still stretching.

5 years ago

Day 13 of flower. They are thirsty today. Fed them today. Did some defoliation today. A bit early for the defoliation though not too heavy and much better light down to the lower branches.

5 years ago

Day 12 of flower. Showing good development. Some good stretch happening on some.

5 years ago

Day 11 of flower and they reaching for the sky now! Well most of them.

5 years ago

Day 10 of flower. Got some stretch going on. Looking super. Gave a light feeding to all the ones who needed. Can’t wait for the next couple of days.

5 years ago

Day9 of Flower. Progressing well. The ultimate showing signs of windburn though looks to be sensitive in this regard. Should be getting some stretch starting on in the other few.

5 years ago

Looking great on the whole. The ultimate has some light windburn, so have had to change up the fans positions to suit. Fed them some as they were all on the dry/ light end. Some stunning development with Durban poison really giving horns early into flower.

5 years ago

Looks like we have some stretch starting with some of the girls. Added some feed/water to a few of the ones who were dry. Upped the light levels for a bit to see how they respond. Doesn’t look too bad though may take a few days to show effects.

5 years ago

Progressing good. Update from earlier in the day. Few others are getting some pistils.

5 years ago

Nothing special today, looks like progress and bounce back from defoliation. The ultimate is a thirsty bugger and needed some feed again. Trying the lower volume of water, and less frequently so let’s see how that goes over a week with all the plants. Not sure what’s up with some of the leaves with the ultimate, where they are cupping down. What are your thoughts? Like clawing but seemingly random across the canopy. And some good development with Durban poison and the transition to flower.

5 years ago

Progressing good, feeling light after the watering on day 60. Watered and did some light defoliation and repositioned the Plants for better spacing. Added a fan to circulate below the canopy as an experiment though should help some.

5 years ago

Merry Christmas all. The colour is coming back to the cannatonic and all the others looking all the right colours. Pleased with the days progress. Some Pre flowers developing on some of the plants.

5 years ago

Day 2 of flower. Not much to see as the pic was from early in the light cycle. Hopefully will have a much better progress pic tomorrow.

5 years ago

Day 1 of flower. Not much to see, business as usual. Fed the plants for flower today. Should see some changes in the next few days. Cannatonic’s new growth is a bit light in colour though that could be due to the double flush from last week as they had a bit of build up. Hopefully it will pick up soon or will need to review her feed and PH as they are all a bit special and playing a wide field of strains really highlights their unique needs. Re-installed the trellis as it was getting to me with the messy double layer. split it and have a new higher trellis.

5 years ago

Last day of veg.

5 years ago

Responding nicely to the increased airflow. Second last day before flowering. Wanting to get it started though a last push will see me to the end of day 60. Shouldn’t need watering/feeding until then though will keep an eye on it.

5 years ago

Picked up well from the drying out. Added an extra fan to improve airflow to other parts of the tent. The small Franco’s lemon cheese clone in front is holding water to good, will have to transplant into another pot and monitor. Fungus gnats slowed nicely from the drying and neem oil.

5 years ago

Flushed again today. We’re on the dry side and the photo is from after watering/flushing. Flushed with water, calcium and ph’d. They are still showing signs of being on the dry side after watering. Keeping them on the dry side as the fungus gnats have returned. Neem oil solution applied to the top and gnat traps to remedy.

5 years ago

Getting ready for the flip soon. Judging it day by day as it’s needing a bit more something before it gets to flower. Flushed this week as it looks like some build up of nutrients. Looking like it will be day 60 for flip.

5 years ago

Recovering from changes. Need a few more days of recovery before flower.patience young padawan.

5 years ago

Super cropped, and removed much of the foliage and lower nodes. Added trellis net to help support the super cropping. Waiting for them plants to bounce back from the changes and then flip to flower.

5 years ago

Still suffering with power issues though they seem in good order. Some oddities here and there. Close ups show the symptoms of some leaves curling underneath inwards. Any idea with the leaves. PH could be a bit on the low side at 5.8? will back it to 6 and monitor. Will have to do some defoliage and training soon. Lifted the Exocet haze who seems to have responded well.

5 years ago

Been experiencing power outages though have been managing to keep them from flowering. Wanting to get a bit more growth before flipping.

5 years ago

Raised the light a bit to 22” at 70% output. Seems to be the upper end they like. Good growth though not gaining much height.

5 years ago

Changes seem to have helped some. Trying something different with the feed by following a new ratio. It is higher than previous waterings. Hopefully positive results. Aiming to flower in 1-2 weeks time though let’s see how it goes. Concerned about the cannatonic who is moving slower than the rest. Plants are seeming quite short, is this normal? Will have to measure and update.

5 years ago

Just topped the Exocet haze. Done some small adjustments and fed the dry ones. They look happy and well fed. Will need more circulation. EC pen unreliable.

5 years ago

Light level been around 65% for a while though have upped it to 85% and see how it goes. Topped them 3 days ago. A few fan leaves were removed for better light to the lower new growth. Should be transplanting them in the coming days into their final pots as the roots look good.

5 years ago

Couple days after transplant. Should be transplanting the other 2 tomorrow. Really starting to make a move on in growth.

5 years ago

Adjusted start date. Transplanted some of the ladies. Ran out of coco for the rest. Defoliate some leaves blocking light to the lowers. Root growth is great and really healthy. 670ppm feed @ ph 5.9.

5 years ago

Made some changes since last post. Fed them, adjusted the light output to 75% from around 50%. They all seem to have responded with stretch, nothing major but at least they have node spaces now. Some of the strains showing signs of what I think is light stress (new growth looks stressed) backed off the light a bit to 65% and will monitor.

5 years ago

Growth seeming to slow. Some issues with fungus gnats.

5 years ago

Re-potted into 12x12 cm pots, changed the humidifier setup. They look much happier in the new pots, with a lot more height which we suspect was pot restricted. During transplant the roots looked healthy.

5 years ago

Fixed ventilation issue. Carbon filter was not passing any air hence the high temps. Hopefully they will pick up steam. Should be transplanting this weekend.

5 years ago

Looking much better. Temps are going down. Improved ventilation in order.

5 years ago

Light cycle 18/6. Temps have been a bit higher than would like.
