Over all i am extremely impressed with the Alibaba lights i ordered. These 800w draw from the wall have beat a previous record of mine that i had with 1000w HPS ran at a boost setting of 1100w draw from the wall. The outcome dry was actually 1.87p

5.23 F60 5.27 F65 - Everything has been going well this week. The plants went through a feed cycle that should carry them through flower no problemo. Started with the AACT Tea, then a bokashi drench with Fish Shit from Fishheadfarms and plain water from here on out. They are drinking quite a bit. 1.5-2 gallons a plant every 3ish days. The terps in my tents smell out of this world. The ScrOG and 3x3 are like a candy store. Passion Berry has mango/guava citrus terps while Deadstar v2 has strawberry watermelon terps. The 4x5 is much more varied, but in general the sweet pink dominates with it's grape candy terps and the dread bread cuts through with it stanky gassy lemon while the prayer pupil smells like moth balls and a bit of GMO. Very lucky to get to experience this much variety. 5.29 F67

A great week of growth and development. Did a small defoliation, and clean of the tent. The girls are very leafy, and some of that needed to go to increase air flow and prevent issues from developing. Love this time of growing as there is not much to do, but watch the buds stack! Happy Gardening 👊❤️🇨🇦

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

Last days for most of them - only Strawberry Cough will stay longer - she is super hungry and I can not keep up with feeding her - most of leaves are yellow now. 😱 The rest - four plants will be harvested on the weekend - 2-3 days from now and frozen - I'll be making bubble hash and fresh frozen live resin from them in the following weeks 😈 Trichomes are mostly milky with some amber starting - ideal ripeness and time to freeze those glands

*english version below* **HydroLab – Blüte Woche 1: Der Stretch entfesselt & der Teppich lebt** Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, dem einzigen Ort, an dem Pflanzen schneller wachsen als meine Stromrechnung. Die 12/12-Umstellung liegt nun offiziell sieben Tage zurück – und die Damen haben das Memo verstanden. Der Stretch? Vollgas. Der angekündigte „Kräuterteppich“? Er ist da. Und er rollt sich gerade selbst aus. 🌿🔥 Systemstatus: Wissenschaftlicher Wahnsinn in Zahlen EC: stabil auf 1.5 Wasser: Vollentsalzt, nur noch 0.05 EC – so sauber, dass es vermutlich als „Destillat Light“ durchgeht CalMag: jetzt Pflicht! Leitungswasser war nett, aber wir gehen jetzt pro pH: von 5.8 hochdriftend bis 6.2, dann korrigiere ich Klima: kalt draußen → warm im Labor dank Luftentfeuchter + 130W IR-Heizung (Nachtschicht-Modus) Operation „Wurzel-Schutzschild“ Die Netpots haben ein Upgrade bekommen: Alufolie-Abdeckung! Nicht hübsch, aber verhindert sicher, dass irgendwo Licht in die Root-Zone kommt. (Hydrolab-Regel Nr. 18: Wenn’s reflektiert, funktioniert’s. 🤓) Pflanzenverhalten: Unkontrollierte vertikale Energie Ich habe in dieser Woche nichts geschnitten und die Mädels einfach machen lassen. Ergebnis: 🔬 Hypothese: „Sie werden etwas wachsen.“ 🔬 Ergebnis: Sie sind komplett durchgedreht. Der Stretch ist massiv, die Tops schießen überall nach oben, die Mitte wird dichter, und die ersten Blütenansätze zeigen sich bereits in voller, flauschiger Pracht. Die Mykos arbeiten im Untergrund weiter wie ein italienischer Straßenbau-Trupp auf Koffein: die Wurzeln sind dick, cremefarben und gesund. Labor-Kommentar Manchmal muss ein Wissenschaftler lernen, loszulassen. Und manchmal heißt das: „Ich lass sie einfach eine Woche wild wachsen und schaue später, was weg muss.“ Genau diese Methode wenden wir hier an. Aktuell sieht alles brutal vital, extrem dicht und herrlich chaotisch aus – genau wie ein Sativa-Scrog aussehen muss, bevor der Dompteur eingreift. Ausblick Nächste Woche geht’s ans Feintuning im Netz, am Lollipop wird nachjustiert und Bud Blood sollte sein Zauberwerk tun, damit sich das Ganze bald in ein Meer aus weißen Härchen verwandelt. Bis dahin: Das HydroLab beobachtet, misst, lacht – und füttert. 🌱⚗️😄 _________________________________________________________ **HydroLab – Bloom Week 1: Stretch Protocol Activated** Welcome back to the HydroLab, where the plants grow faster than my ability to explain what’s going on, and where chaos is considered a valid research method. The flip to 12/12 was seven days ago — and the ladies took that as a personal challenge. The stretch? Immediate and aggressive. The “herbal carpet” I predicted last week? Fully deployed. 🌡️ System Diagnostics EC: holding steady at 1.5 Water: ultra-clean, 0.05 EC from the deionization unit CalMag: now part of the baseline (unlike with tap water) pH: adjusted to 5.8, drifting naturally up to 6.2 before correction Climate: cold nights outside → warm enough inside thanks to a 130W IR heater + dehumidifier tag-team 🛡️ Root Protection Protocol I covered the pot tops with aluminum foil — not pretty, but absolutely effective at blocking any stray light from entering the root zone. HydroLab Law #7: If it looks improvised but works perfectly, it’s not a bug — it’s a feature. 🌱 **Plant Behavior Report: Unrestricted Vertical Ambition** This week I didn’t cut anything… And the plants responded with: “Okay, we’ll take over now.” The stretch is in full swing, tops are pushing upward everywhere, and the first flower sites are forming beautifully. The canopy is dense, lively, and wild — exactly what a sativa-leaning scrog looks like right before it becomes a jungle. Roots? A fluffy, creamy, active masterpiece. The mycorrhiza is clearly having the time of its life. 🔬 Researcher’s Note Sometimes science requires intervention. Other times… science requires stepping back, folding your arms, and whispering: “Let’s see what happens if I just don’t touch anything this week.” This was one of those weeks. And honestly? The system handled it better than expected. 🔭 Next Week’s Outlook canopy refinement begins lollipopping adjustments Bud Blood should fully kick in floral development expected to accelerate Until then: The HydroLab observes. The HydroLab measures. The HydroLab feeds. And the HydroLab cackles quietly in the corner. 🌿⚗️😄

📅 Week 9 – Day 63 / FLO 35 BOX: 80x80 – 250W lamp 🌞 Temp: 26°C 💦 RH: 55% 💥 PPFD: 800+ µmol 🌬️ VPD: 1.5 1.6 ⚡ EC: 1.4 The battle continues – never again big plants in small pots 😅 It’s really hard to keep them in perfect condition, there’s almost no room for mistakes. I’m keeping VPD high to push metabolism and speed up bud development. Watering is split into two cycles per day, EC around 1.4–1.5. Fans are set just right – enough to make the leaves slightly move, but not enough to stress the pistils. Stay tuned – and keep growing 🌱

Really enjoyed growing this girl, so much adventure :D To think I started her off thinking she is an autoflower and will be done in 3 months :D She is supposed to indica dominant but at >2m I think I got a more sativa dominant branch. Can't wait to smoke after all this time

9/9 Still looking for the cause of the top fading only on the light colored phenos think its P will address tomorrow, want a couple more weeks from these guys at least. 9/10 Looking better top dressed the Happy Frog 3 tbs/plant watered with Bio-Bloom 3tsp /gal and Big Bloom 3tsp/gal 9/13 D62 Just finishing the week things are pretty stable. Nuet issues resolved and buds building nicely taking on a more fuzzy appearance with straight new growth hairs. Pics at lights out if I remember Looking at 9/27 for a harvest date or at least its penciled in on the calendar. Next feed is full

Still lookin happy, water only around 6.5 ph. I will start some LST next week 👍🏼 I will also give a 1/4 dose of advanced nutrients sensi cal mag next week because that's one issue I've ran into, usually nearing flower and I feel weekly small doses helps negate any issues. LED lights seem to increase the need for cal mag at least in my environment. The auxiliary shoots off the main are interesting! It's definitely going to be more of a bushy structure and fun to LST! ✌️🏼 ♥️
