Week 14 marks not only the completion of the first week of flowering but also a remarkable stretch in the growth of my green companions. It's like they've hit a growth spurt of epic proportions, reaching for the stars with leafy determination. They're like botanical skyscrapers, standing tall and proud in their green kingdom. Each week, these plants become more beautiful, like nature's own masterpiece unfolding before my eyes. The best part? There's no more discoloration on the leaves, and they're gobbling up nutrients without any negative side effects. It's like they've discovered the fountain of leafy youth, and they're thriving like never before. But amidst the leafy triumphs, there's a slight hiccup in the form of temperature. Throughout the day, the temperatures can reach a toasty 83 degrees. I have a Vivosun controller that's supposed to kick in the exhaust at 79 degrees, but it seems to be struggling to keep up. Looks like it's time to bring in the big guns and get an AC unit for my green haven. As I reflect on the journey so far, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and gratitude for these amazing plants. They've taught me patience, perseverance, and the true beauty of nature's artistry. Here's to Week 14 – a week of stretching, flowering, and the promise of a bountiful harvest. Cheers to my green companions – may they continue to grow and thrive in their leafy paradise! 🌿

Well, finally I decided to make a small tour video and it looks like a couple are a bit overfertilized, but I'm still happy with the general view 🙃🙃 and just ordered a new toy to have a closer look at the babies!!

Well I'm a bit upset last week I ended up dropping my ph meter in a tank of nutes I was mixing and by the time I got it out the meter was junk. I was planning on flushing the crystal but had to wait another week for the meter. I suppose the good thing to take from this was I found out why I was having issues with my plants. When the new ph meter came in I went to check my run off and my nutes that I had all ready mixed up. It turns out that my meter i had been using this whole grow was off by about -2-2.5 so this whole time I had been feeding the plants at around 3ph smfh. I cant believe they look how they do knowing what went on this whole time. Fastbuds crystal meth is 3days into flush and i will be cutting it down this weekend most likely. Mephisto hubbabubbasmelloscope is smelling like sweet sweet candy and is thick in resin Bighead seeds freeze berry/ blueberry crumble has a dank pungent stank to it and also is frosty but larrfy Big bomb is still growing thick and have bud sites everywhere Now I'm ready for the next batch and ready to get dialed in!

Flowering stage activated.

She is.growing outdoor whit an small led fro growing for.this 2.weeks because I am waitnting for my new led. I am going to put.on my first indoor this year.

Se aplicó una defoliación a todas las hojas amarillas y bajas que aún quedaban para ir limpiando un poco lo que no traerá frutos. Seguimos, cada vez queda menos 👽

🤠

Looks like she might have another week left started flushing this week.

Ça continue 😍.

This lady is getting very tall & starting to smell crazy, already starting to get very frosty as well! Excited for the outcome! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!🙏🏼✌️🏼🌱

Hi folks, now it’s almost the end of the fourth week. Three days ago, I had to repot from a 1.5-liter container to an 11-liter fabric pot. Everything went smoothly. I was a bit nervous, but it turned out to be no problem. The roots have spread throughout the entire pot and along the edges, and they looked fresh and healthy. 🌿 She is growing very well in my opinion. Two of the lower leaves are yellow and limp, but the rest are beautifully green and juicy. Happy growing boysNgirls :)

Happy GrowingHarvested at 15 weeks and the royal runtz will be a staple in my tent from here on exactly what I like to smoke the taste the buzz is perfect high and I'm a Head 💯 since birth so. The plant was a bit hollow didn't produce much all my errors I'm pretty positive but damn It is good . I also ran a sherbet queen . It is the opposite of what I really like I don't care for that cookie lemon mild high on the other hand it produced double and is still good smoke just for my preferences lacking ice got it hanging in a dark closet ac blasting and small fan circulating air . Then I'll jar it and maybe if let it cure a week or two if I can . Maybe also sherb top was 100 gs fresh and Runtz top was 60 gs fresh cut also I think I really did damage more than good in the flush process

Not a big flower but great yield and crazy smell, easy to grow and beautiful colors

Enjoying smoking this very much. Will defo grow again

end week 8. ------------ this week only water from all Gorillas the buds look very sticky and frosty. when I open the tent, it smells very strong. The 1 and 2 smelled pretty strong, chemically, the 3. more like citrus. I will harvest Gorilla 1 20.10. Gorilla 2 22.10 Gorilla 3 23.10 I made videos and pictures of the trichomes.

Hello everyone week 1 of flower has passed for this Cherry Cola auto 🍒 Mars hydro FC-E6500 75% have a great day and wish you all happy growing 😎👨‍🌾🏻

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

They seem to be doing well. The ayo stopped growing about two weeks ago. She was culled a few days ago. Replaced her with the twin flame so that diary has been hauled. The twine flame by Bodhi Seeds is a beauty with the stacking this early in veg I can only imagine what this will turn into. I'm so excited. The Candyland x Mac1 is still suffering. The #sourlemondrops by #irvineseeds is doing well still suffering from plant respiration. The #lemonkush by #irvineseeds is blowing up. She's still thriving even though she's looks sick trust me she is NOT SICK she's sleep, the light just came on when I took the pictures. That's all. Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to check out my YouTube channel at "Ben Chasin'Big Budz", see you all next week.
