NOTES: This will be the last week of flowering. Just a couple more days of flushing with the Final Solution and I'll harvest all of them before the end of the week. Then I'll hang them to dry in the same growing tent and start the drying and defoliating process. Overall everything looks pretty good and no bigger problems have occurred. Day113 (6.2.) Today is 64th day of flowering and 13th day of flushing. Day114 (7.2.) After my lights turn off today at around midnight, I'll take the timer and lights off completely and leave the plants in total dark for a day or so before cutting them off. Day115 (8.2.) Day116 (9.2.) Finally! Cutting the plants down this afternoon and hanging them to dry. So, the overall grow time from seed to harvest was 116days with 67days of flowering, with total darkness for the last 36hours before harvest.

Betty is in week 2 of flower, before flowering, so in the last week of veg, i gave her a good flush until clear water came out bottom, she got fed 2 and a 1/2 times, so 17ml of grow feed, she has got a touch nutrient burn but nothing to worry about very little, she got 2-3 liters of water a week for 6 weeks, she likes to be dry than wet, week 2 of flowering, she is starting to grow hairs and strech so i fed her 1/2 bloom nutrients, so 3.5ml, she might get another half bloom nutrients in the future, she is looking well and healthy, betty has about 7 weeks left in flower and then a week to dry and 2 weeks to cure in glass jar. Will keep you updated in a couple of weeks to see betty grow her flowers.

The Pineapple Express is very pretty and in our opinion it is growing well, we are almost ready for the first topping we can't wait to structure it as we like it.

Great week for these plants. They are super healthy and moving along right through the early weeks of flower. 🌱 I've only been giving them water as I use organic compost as a meduim and they are very happy. 😎 The plant on the right is already very pungent.😵

at the start of the week i was dealimg with bugs.. i gor rid of them with tje sesame and cinnamon.. cinnamon WILL burn your leaves if you leave too much on; they turn black and die... that being said im a sadist, so i then gave them a drink of stewed cucumber skins... they havent died.. ps.. forgot i gave them a distilled water feed at 2.3 early on in the week.. thought it wasn't happy. shall revert to 2 after a late week half strength 1/4 top 3/4 bottom feed at a slightly higher ph for the root dem Buds started to get legit this week..starting to get a frosty look now but decided to trim some of the shoddy bud sites regardless of being 20 days into flowering.. im away for a week. hopefully the setup will cope.. lights set to allow for movement.. fans will be on minimal.. and removed all other bug attracting tings. its been fun

Transitioned to flower changed my metal halide 600w bulb to my HPS 600w bulb put the LEDs to 100% an switch the COB bloom setting on, starting my flowering nutrient feed rotation. Keeping it stupid simple this time around taking the advice of some of y'all on here as well as seeing checking others who have grown the exact strains I'm growing from the same seed companies, looking at their methods and looking closely at the ones that came out good obviously can't repeat their process exactly but it's a great uhh what's the word. shit.. reference?? I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for... But yeah just having examples and adding new tools or methods adding onto my notes, but yeah exciting week ahead I'm gunna have to organize the tent more so I can make sure they have enough room as they start to stretch outward.

Day 69 (March 6th) Just gave everyone their last watering. I’m going to harvest and wash everything tomorrow night on day 70. I‘m not going to do that whole 48 hours of darkness thing because I didn’t see a difference last time I did it. In fact, it made my plant under watered before drying which caused it to dry too fast. Slurricane and cheese will be washed with h2o2 and the rest will just be rinsed off in warm RO water and hung up. Before and after washing I’m going to go over each branch with a flashlight and make sure there is no dog hair or debris in or on the buds. I will be drying in my spare bathroom (that no one uses!) from hangers. Aiming to keep it around 60-62F and 50-60 RH. Hoping for that 10-12 day dry. I wanted to do a full plant hang but the tent got pretty dirty and I would feel more comfortable just cutting and rinsing everything off branch by branch. I’m going to try my best to keep the full plant intact. Got my humidifier hooked up and running RO water because with tap water it deposits calcium and lime all over the buds and walls. For air flow I’m just indirectly running a small usb fan. I’m not worried about air flow in the bathroom honestly. It stays nice and breezy down there anyway. Got the food grade peroxide and RO water to wash up the slurricane and cheese. Everything except for the cheese and garlic#1 is looking more than done. Trichomes all look pretty well done. Some of them have even burst open. Smells are all super ripe and mature too. Can’t wait to smell each individually in jars. Next week I will recap what went wrong and what I will do differently next time to keep it from happening again. (Day 70F) Just got everything chopped, washed and hanging. The vast majority of the PM was washed out but I can still see very small amounts. When they dry out I can shake the branches a bit to get the rest off. At very least it’s sterile now. There is no question I lost some potency while washing but the amount is negligible for a much cleaner product. I could see lots of dirt and other debris float to the surface of the water after being washed. And no those are not trichomes, those sink to the bottom. I could put that nasty water through a bubble bag and wouldn’t get all that much. Although it probably does remove a lot of the actual trichomes heads. I’ll have to check with the microscope. Everything is rigged up for a nice slow dry. Temp is sitting at 64 and RH is at a nice 60%.

This is my second grow, (first diary). I used same set up for first grow. I did all autos and purchased from Royal Queen seeds, 2 x Cookies Gellato, 2 x fat banana and 2 x northern lights, my pals and I really impressed with the results and some very nice smoke. Decided to try some photoperiods this time out and keep a diary. Love this website reading other people's experiences is very helpful. I've done three Royal Cheese - Fast, love this strain to be so common in UK, don't see it much these days. Germimation method used, - seeds soaked in filtered water in the dark overnight in a shot glass then added to a damp kitchen towel put in a large sealed ziplock bag in the airing cupboard, after two days large tap roots and potted in their final 15 litre fabric pots. Light set at 35% power at mo. Using auto govee humidifier and hygro sensor to adjust environment without opening , really handy being able to check/adjust via WiFi. Second sensor on Spider Farmer extraction fan to cross check both sensors for accurate readings.

Harvest was great, got 6.5 oz off the first plant, cured and 7 1/4 oz off the 2nd plant, dried and cured. I never weigh wet, idk why lol.. jus too in the moment I guess.

Hope I can hold out for a couple of more weeks, should have had a second trellis to support the gorilla girls as I as I wasn't expecting the lower flowers to get so big. Thing are leaning everywhere. I am grateful that its quite dry where I am and don't have to worry about mold too much. I do have a bit of wind burn as you can see in some of the pics but very hardy plants overall.

She's still going! I have no idea what's going to happen, but I'll continue feeding her. She's nothing special to look at but that's fine. I was removing a withered fan leaf and I ripped off one of the flowers with it so I feel horrible. I put her under the roof in the Cure's place since that got chopped. I don't know what else to report. I'm still nursing her along, and I'll continue to do so until she says she's done.

Week 7+8 for Thelma and Louise and both gals are looking great! As I mentioned before I'm going to let these ladies go until the fade is nice and the trichs are at least 30% amber and I hope that results in FATTY colas! I cut out the silica since they are flowering nicely now. These girls have the most rock-hard stems I've come across so far, feels like bamboo and a karate kick wouldn't do shit to it LOL! Happy growing everyone!
