UPDATE DAY 68
Hi everyone! I`m sorry for not updating this journal as often as I would life to. Some complications came up, but everything should be back to normal now, so let`s get to it!
So first we can start off with some general information about the conditions in the tent and the growth.
As the girls where germinated in the middle of June, you can imagine the heat struggles I`ve been fighting here in southeast Europe.
After we converted to LED`s halfway into the growth, the temps has been going a little down and only the top colas is being pushed to their limits.
A week ago, we had some unexpected visitors from white flies!
Due to the high temp and humidity, I can`t day that I`m very surprised...
Anyway, picked up something to get rid of it on the local grow shop, and since I didn`t want this to come on the buds, It gave me a nice opportunity to take the girls outside for an hour while I was fixing them up. This also opened up for a little photo shoot
Here is a picture of the whole family gathered after the treatment against white flies.
As you can see, some of the top colas are slightly affected by the heat from the LED.

LSD 25
The LSD-25 is has for sure become the flagship in the tent. With it`s red genetics and strong sent, she has truly been a joy to grow. She is not as bushy as the rest, so it is easier to provide her with a deep light penetration. The buds are long and stacked, and they are getting thicker by the day. Can`t wait to see how the final result will look like. Here on day 68 from germination.
Pineapple Express:
The Pineapple Express has lived up to all the expectations and are just a delight to grow.
Since day 1, they have been doing their own thing, and gives you several chances to f*ck up.
This plant is very forgiving and I would highly recommend it to any first grower.
Like the Northern Express, the genetics are also very rewarding, and any extra`s you do to her, she will for sure pay you back for it.
Northern Express:
When it comes to growing this genetics, the process and the result is very similar to the Pineapple Express. They are easily separated by the smell, and even tho the Pineapple might have heavier buds at this point, there is definitely a possibility for this girl to catch up. The Northern Express and the Tangie`matic started with PK booster 1 week later than the other girls.
If you are a 100% new grower, I highly recommend Northern Express and Pineapple Express by FastBuds for very easy genetics.
Tangie`matic:
The Tangie`matic has finally began to gain some height. A long time, this girl was far behind the others when It came to gaining any height. She started out VERY bushy, something that is easy to see today, when we look at the bottom of her stem. The amount of growth at the bottom is intense, but unfortunately it`s not going to get enough light to become anything at all. As she was lacking so much energy to start growing again, we decided to do some easy lollypopping on her. I know this is not recommended but it was a special case.
Luckily she handled the stress good and showed fast results. She is almost at the same canopy as the rest and are starting to smell heavy citrus!
They are closing in to the end of their life, and based on the girls, It seems like the flush will come sometime next week!
