I had to make rearrange my plants to make sure each plant is getting adequate light after examining the room, pictures, etc. while this journal is focused on Mother of Berries (MOB) I'm also growing 3 donkey dicks (2 flowered early) and 1 that basically just started in the red solo cup. I also made an adjustment allowing my T5 to sit at a very slight angle to cover plants without buds growing into the light. I'm flowering early that way I have enough to get me through (combined with occasional dispensary visits) while I go the long haul and produce bigger plants with a longer vegetative period.

Flowering: Day 33 (Week 5 Day 6)

Making slight adjustments to CFLs to accommodate buds. I had previously stated I would flush next week, as Guru02 and Doggie Daddy pointed out that was too early. My calculations were off. This strain flowers at peak around 56 days. It would be about 2 weeks prior to that, for some reason I thought next week. Shout out to those guys again.

I will be incorporating this information into my final publication on this grow journal but I think it's important for the community to understand the basis of music for plants and how it acts as stimuli to promote greater growth. I have provided a scholarly article from "Association of Global Sciences, International Journal of Integrated Sciences" titled "The effect of Music on plants. I hope that this might promote the use of music while growing cannabis.

I play reggae or classic rock for my plants for about 20 minutes everyday. Not sure if it's helping but they don't seem to mind.

I do about eight hours of a mix between Metal, Classical and Pop. I'll be exploring techno and some others at some point but content with with what I'm using at the moment. Any music you can give will help!

 

[Doggie Daddy]

Most of the time I just throw my Pandora on shuffle and that ranges from the Beatles to Wutang. I listen to pretty much everything but country. We can make our plants connoisseurs of music!lol

Flowering: Day 34 (Week 5 Day 7)

Flowering: Day 35 (Week 6 Day 1). Plant has a bit of Nute burn on some of the leaves. Some water was added and soil was churned to help move dry top layers in with soil to help absorb any extra moisture. Lights were adjusted to accommodate budding sights.

Looking good! She's fattening up nicely

Flowering: Day 36 (Week 6 Day 2) Plants watered, lights adjusted. I added a home Brew option to implement C02 in the grow area via baking soda and vinegar to minimize danger to myself (C02 not good for humans) and help promote bud growth. I read this on herb.co the link is below. Also discusses leaving light off for 48 hours prior to harvest to boost resin production.

CFLs adjusted to accommodate Flowers. Soil has been churned to help achieve greater oxygen to roots. I also included a copy of the popcorn buds that are currently developing. Some people cut them to ensure growth in areas, however I have done my best using lighting and reflective techniques in an effort to maximize growth all around where possible using what I have to the best of my ability.

Flowering: Day 39 (Week 6 Day 5) back end CFLs redirected to increase focus on underbelly of canopy.

 

[WeedMonkey]

Flowering: Day 40 (Week 6 Day 6). Soil Nutes and churned to increase oxygen to plants and absorb excess moisture. Plant rotated slightly to accommodate CFLs to buds.

If you guys have any insight as to how much longer it might be before harvest? I'm thinking 2 or so weeks.

Flowering: Day 41 (Week 6 Day 7)
Buds are coming along nicely, no evidence of CFLs needing adjustment. C02 production increased slightly last night (via baking soda and vinegar drip) about 2 or so weeks to go (subject to change). Rich journal posted after harvest.
