Hola a todos, En esta semana 3 de floración la planta sigue engordando sus cogollos purpuras. Ha dejado de crecer para centrar su energía de producir sus flores, que presentan buenos tricomas.

Day 21: week 4 starts today so going on this 4th week kind of strong b4 I stave em a bit and shift up.... Stay in that low gear and build them nutrient PGR's up recline a bit. Thinking about raising my ph a bit....low 6 but think it needs to go up to @ least 7 to take advantage of the high octane nutrients going into this. On another note already setting up my next grow. Going with 10qt pots on these only because they will be FF's so gonna make sure I have sufficient room for extreme growth. Think these will be my permanent's that will eventually go outdoors. So feeding probably last veg mix this week and will probably wait til the weekend and let em starve a bit. Oh wow the mail came and the packaging is pretty dope... 420FB!!! Day 22: Can't believe I just saw John "MF'n" Daly hit a tee shot that give's him a nice birdie op in the Open!!!! Dude looks pretty Shaggy like some type of hippy grower!!!! Fuck'n love it. So went against my thoughts and fed "Feed me Seymore" style. Gave em their weekly feeding yesterday around 6ish and watched. Sprayed with sensi cal. Speaking of which, finally getting a bit more organized and labeled foliage sprays and got em ready. 3 different bottles, sensi cal, Heavenly goddess, and Grease. Keeping an eye for any type of yellow pigments and spraying both over and under. Kind of worried about lockage so got some ph up/down. Wanna get my ph up just a hare so improve absorption of nutrients and get larger plants. This is my very 1st grow and my future is looking pretty dense with the addition of the FF's but needing this grow to make the next grow even better. Keeping my humidity up during this veg stage and staying away from any cutting for now. I think that the uv for a week has done something to my growth or maybe stunted a bit but proud of my stem work as these girls got Christian Louboutin Heels for stalks. That breeze blowing thought their leaves like "working women on a windy day" with their hair blowing in the wind!! Head turners!! So with the weekend coming not much but observing and maybe some light misting but getting ready to jump to that next level in the coming weeks but honestly trying to keep em from flowing until they get a bit larger. Maybe I can get a week 6 of veg but honestly with the Bud Blood this will be somewhat easy. Bud Blood or Bud Igniter......Been thinking about this one. I hear BB is the go to but can be very strong and possibly burn your plants. Igniter does the same thing so really on the fence but don't think I'll be disappointed. Think I'm gonna do a split maybe 4 using BB and 3 using BI just to see how they work. Things will definitely be picking up in a few so will post as the journey continues. RIP Tony Bennett......Dude you will be missed and I totally expect to see your face on a Stamp in the next 10 years!!! Noonish...decided that my air exchange if off so leaving my tent door open a bit to get fresh air flowing into the tent better. My CO2 bag is xlarge so think maybe too much. Gonna roll with this half open tent for a few and see. Day 23: So watered my plants outer zone with the vpt mix just to get maximum exposure to roots. Benn spraying the foliage with Grease and Green Goddess and just paying attention. Also am experimenting with the foliage spray and light reduction for a couple of hours just to get the plant to take the spray nutrients. Think the flowering is staring to come on but trying to slow it down by maybe a week just to try and get that 5th week of veg in b4. My plants are looking really robust and are taking the nutrients with no bad effects it seems. My PH up/down is coming today but still contemplating that whole ph up =bigger plants scenario. Also threw the training wheel milk carts back on my girls and am running a fan beneath my plants so that the pots can get fresh air through the root system. Have not experienced run through yet from watering so think I'm doing a pretty good job of keeping my watering in check. 6ish: went down on the lights earlier 2day just and came back to 1400is and plants are looking great. Sprayed with Grease and am gonna go with one more veg feeding b4 I pull out the BB with the IB and prep for flower, so thinking one more veg feed b4 we move into this next stage. Got some plant trainers coming Monday so figure if I go with a feeding in the morning and then lights all day Monday will start training to get these branches their own space to grow. So with the night nothing but maybe foliage spray and an early lights out but hopefully I can get these plants a bit more dry b4 feeding so might try to stretch the week out and give the soil a bit of time to dry out b4 this final veg feeding. Day 24: Had some light issues and my babies didn't get much sleep so gonna get back to my 18-6 with only breeze in sleep. Attempted to train a few of my branches with some 90° plant trainers but said nah, save em for my ff that I'm gonna veg/flower/veg/fl..... Looking back @ the last 28 days I realize just how much work, time, research and dedication to do this. Talk about stress relief!!! Keep's me uplifted and positive. On another note, getting the AC Infinity bars to keep my tent from doing a Hal 2112 S.O. on my grow!!

Welcome to week six! 🌱 Week five was a complete success – all parameters are perfectly aligned. I’ve increased the water conductivity to a solid 3000 and bumped the CO2 level up to 1200 🌿. Light intensity is now set at 1400 µmol in the center and 1000 at the edges, which will keep the plants strong in their generative state 🌞. I’ll maintain these levels until the end of the third week and then start slowly removing the large fan leaves to ensure the buds get plenty of light 💡✨. I’m also trying something new to activate the “Emerson effect” 🌄: I’m running the deep red lights for 5 minutes before sunset and for another 5 minutes after the day ends. This should give the plants a final boost in photosynthesis, helping to maximize their growth potential! Everything’s looking fantastic so far! The Black Cherry has rooted well across different experimental setups, and at the end of the grow, I’ll provide a full report on the best care techniques for both strains 🌺👌. Willkommen in Woche sechs! 🌱 Die fünfte Woche lief perfekt – alle Parameter stimmen. Ich habe die Leitfähigkeit des Wassers auf satte 3000 erhöht und den CO2-Gehalt auf 1200 angehoben 🌿. Die Lichtstärke beträgt jetzt 1400 µmol in der Mitte und 1000 am Rand, was dafür sorgen wird, dass die Pflanzen stark im generativen Zustand bleiben 🌞. Ich werde diese Werte bis Ende der dritten Woche beibehalten und dann langsam damit beginnen, die großen Sonnensegel zu entfernen, damit die Blüten ordentlich Licht abkriegen 💡✨. Zusätzlich probiere ich etwas Neues aus, um den „Emerson-Effekt“ zu aktivieren 🌄: Ich lasse das tiefrote Licht 5 Minuten vor Sonnenuntergang und 5 Minuten nach dem Ende des Tages weiterlaufen. Das sollte der Photosynthese einen letzten Schub geben und das Wachstum der Pflanzen maximal fördern! Bis jetzt sieht alles fantastisch aus! Die Black Cherry ist in verschiedenen Versuchsreihen gut angewachsen, und am Ende des Grows werde ich einen ausführlichen Bericht darüber abgeben, wie sich die beiden Sorten am besten pflegen lassen 🌺👌.

Day 58 - Started on making a natural intake box Day 59 - Isolated and sealed the natural intake box + added beter sealing on grow cabin doors & cabin Day 60 - Semi-automated intake.

Que pasa familia, aquí andamos que vamos actualizar una semana más Fumándonos un troncho de haribo con Rosin de Le Xupet Negre . Mientras tanto os comento ya en la recta final de estas Red Cookies Gelato, siendo sinceros están muy pepinas y bien resinadas, los cogollos van muy tricomados y están súper hinchados, pero comento también que la variedad no es del todo estable, es algo complicada tienes que estar pendiente de ellas cada día observar que no salga un macho porque de 100 plantas habrán salido 3 machos y alguna hermafrodita , son frágiles. Fue mi primer proyecto de cruce que aún así dentro de ser el primero a salido demasiado bien porque no esperaba ni resultados positivos pero ahí están y toda la gente que la probó, todos los que se molestaron en conocerla o interesarse por ella se agradece ,porque todos habláis muy bien de ella aún siendo así de frágil, se agradece y valora mucho vuestra opinión, Fieras. Voy hacer estrés hídrico, cada vez regaré menos cantidad para que no se mueran las plantas pero si dejen de comer de las raíces de la parte de abajo, aparte van amarilleando las hojas más rápido y mientras terminan de madurar. Hasta aquí es toda la semana y casi todo el cultivo como quien dice, así que buenos humos y hasta la semana que viene 💨💨💨

Lack of azote due to the PH imbalance in week 7

•1g de enhancer x litro de agua aplicacion en el riego

Looking healthy Coming along nice Water once a day 1 1/2 cup each plant Fresh air Fan air Temp 85 this week Ph balanced nutrients Looking way better than first two grows Switching to soil was easier for me Excited for May-June harvest time

Ok they're not gonna put much more weight on now, still smell dank, nice solid buds. Can't really compare it to other fat banana grows as it looks like they've given up 😕 Even tho this is not my best grow i will persevere.............. bla bla bla bla bla bla I'm off to a BBQ

I grow in pure coco with organic nutrients

Couple days left of week 3, and buds are starting to swell, and trichs are forming. I've removed most of the lower branches at this point (which probably should have been done earlier), I'll hopefully do the last of the defoliation this week too. I'm going to bump up the nutes a little for a while before flushing for at least 2 weeks when they are starting to look ready! Smell inside the tent is getting stronger, made me sneeze a couple times when I peeked in there the other day 😅 Have a happy new year!

*Here is a link to video on the Harvest. https://youtu.be/aZUOrljaioc 9/23/23 - Day 114 - Today was going to be the Chop, but I will wait one more day. I was not able to dedicate the full time I needed to make this happen today, so I decided I would give it one more day. One thing I am noticing is the color of the leaves. I've always wanted to grow a strain that has purple in it, and it looks like this plant turned super purple. I couldn't tell because of the lights. 9/24/23 - Day 115 - I'm 2hrs away from chopping. With the Leaf box, you have to stay on your timeline, No rushing it, and no waiting. Always right on time. I started the grow at 3 pm 115 days ago so from 3 pm - 3 pm is a full 24/hrs. I'll update after 3 p.m. I already have my tripod, tools, cleaning materials, etc., up and ready. We will drain the water, ill then remove the roots and clean out the tub. Then, I'll start to remove the branches one at a time. Once they are removed, I will then get the hanging supports in place. Then I will hang them upside down and hope there is enough room. :) I've noticed I have a lot of views on this grow. One thing I feel I should do a better job of (based on all the messages I received) is documenting the process that I follow throughout the grow. So I'll start my next grow in November. I'll document it with better "this is how I do this in Leaf" type details. 2 hours and counting! See you at 3 PM! 9/24/23 - I started at 3 p.m. and finally finished around 9 p.m. Holy shit, am I tired...... I have a lot of pictures and videos to upload. I'll add some photos tonight with some videos to follow tomorrow. I don't know how much I have yet, I need to wait until I can jar them to weigh them. I was able to get all the buds off and hung. With a couple of bags of A/B stock (Snicklefritz) of leftovers that I didn't want to hang. In just the Snicklefritz, I had 219g of wet buds. Ill know the full dry amount in a couple of days. I was REALLY happy with the amount of buds. There were more than 75 branches of bud to hang/dry. Its the most weed I have grown ever. Now that the buds are all back in the box. The Leaf box will handle all of the drying process. It will maintain temperature as well as humidity. I now wait and check daily to check for dryness. Here is a link to video on the Harvest. https://youtu.be/aZUOrljaioc 9/26/23 - The buds are way more dry today. Im getting some really nice citrus smell from them. I think one more day should work before I start putting them in jars. I already trimmed them. Its a prefrence on trimming before/after drying. Becuase I had so much I wanted to make sure there was enough air space. This is my first grow in this box so this will be floor, theres no where to go but up from here. Im hoping to finish out this journal in September with a final weight.

Dark Phoenix Grow is going good, could have done a better job but you learn from your mistakes. Uploaded a video for you guys with all the information, any questions just ask away guys 👍🏾🌱💚

Proper watering ceromony - Bob Marley would be proud.

Now in the 15 liter felt pots

Yesterday I started the radical washing. In about 2 weeks it will be ready to be cut.

This update is coming only a few days after my previous one as I delayed that one by a few days, now we are back on schedule. The girls are continuing to pump out resin, and the buds are slowly gaining more weight however they’re still pretty small. I have faith they will bulk some more before I harvest next week, crossing my fingers. Harvesting next Wednesday, really hoping to see the pistils get closer to 50% amber at least. Since I am having to harvest early, I have made the executive decision to not flush and continue with nutes all the way till chop. I would prefer them to continue to bulk as much as possible and I don’t see much of a reason to flush a plant that isn’t fully mature yet. I also read that people don’t actually notice very much of a difference from flushed and not flushed weed, so take that flushers! Jk, I would actually flush if I had the time :,(

Tents all set up now with 2 futur vert flora max 660watts 1 futur vert uva led bar..

Here it is. Vpd doin ok. Should transplant hopefully in 2 weeks and flower two weeks after. Using Unit farm uf2000 led.
