Bueno, iniciamos la semana con cambio de solución nutritiva con el nivel por debajo de la argilla en 5 cm para tener aire entre raíz, sustrato y solución nutritiva. Se ven más grandes y lindas, veremos cómo continúa en la semana. Hoy miré las raíces y se ven muy bien. Desde ayer algo cambio para mal...😩

Shes really coming along! I'm sipping on a cherry coca cola myself shes really quite the bush so I actually just pulled her top down about a good 2-3 inches. She seems to like defoliation better than LST but wanted to combine. Hope you guys enjoy & I strongly recommend you find this one as its already stinky on week 3 (technically 4 from germination). Check back next week to see just how fast she grows! & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!

Haha took me the next morning to finish trimming. I got sleepy 😁 Yo.. Holy cow, my entry is finally finished! What a freaking blast! The Auto version. Cut on Day 98. I got to be kinda serious and still have a ton of fun! I never shy away from something new! So I did 2 of them! My Runtz1 which is this last harvested plant. Was going to be organic. So veg and I top dressed. Hungry late so switched to Success and still kept Green Sensation going. Good weight in the end. Runtz2 was purely Success Nutrients. It was also my first time using it and or synthetic. Omg I love the control it gave me, over everything. ( Omg I feel like a narcissist 😂😂) But seriously, it brought out levels of funk and ice. I never thought I'd be capable of.

Gorilla Cookies is stacking now. She is looking really good considering the prior issues. The leaves are dark green from the neem oil treatments before. Hopefully she is bug free or at least mostly so she can finish properly. 🤞🏻 for a nice finish.

Hallo to You all my familly and usual visitors. Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....You make my day! I gave the Blue Cheese a trim on 5th december and gave her four days of darkness, the chop was performed on december 9th I took a lot of photographs and videos commemorating these events for you to enjoy :) I think she came out quite decent especially considering that she had some monster/deformed leaves till the 4th week of veg. also looking back I should have moved her to the bigger place in that time...she would be far more symmetrical ;) It was a joy to work with Mars Hydro and their equipment in this grow. A big thanks to the Mars Hydro team for this opportunity, you truly provide first class grow kits and lamps. That's all i have for you till the drying & curing process is over I will update then. I want to thank you all for accompanying me in this journey, all the likes and comments...You growmies make me feel here at GD at home thank you 🙌👊😇

Started seeing first pistils , everything going smooth, continue training through net . It's a big job scroging, all that plant training through the net can wear you out! Just ask the Urban Grow Cat, he's absolutely worn out from helping me in the garden, as you can see from the photos. I have noticed a mistake on my diary, it say's that she is still in veg. However she is currently entering week 3 of flower, i have edited it to flowering. ( Sorry about the mistake , Grow cat is still learning how to use a laptop!

Needed to defoliate to create airflow and start shaping the ladies. Stretching out the lower colas across the base. Fimmed the ends of the longer stems to get a split going for more colas. Recharge added to feed after stripping 30%+ of the lower canopy. Will turn to flower in a week or too. Notes: slow growth due to the lower heat in the tent. Okay with that because the Lecky bills have been huge with all the price gouging going on.

👋Top is a clean cut, no confusion for the plant, road ahead is clear, by completely removing the main growth tip, the auxin source is eliminated. The plant permanently halts vertical growth from that main stem and immediately sends its energy and hormones to the two new, evenly spaced branches just below the cut. Fimming slightly different because a small tuft of the top growth is left behind, the auxin disruption is temporary and less severe. The plant recovers more quickly and sends its energy to multiple surrounding growth points, often creating four or more new shoots from the same spot. It will eventually regain some vertical dominance after a few weeks if left to its own devices, but with a little more LST, bending the apex to the same height as the rest of the internodes, this shatters dominance, hopefully creating around 8-9 main shoots growing at equal height once recovered and grown out. Reduced environmental intensity for now and let her focus on dealing with this new stress for a week or two. When H+ ions are added to soil, the first nutrient displaced from exchange sites is typically aluminum (Al3+), if it's present, followed by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and potassium (K+), because aluminum and these base cations have different binding strengths. The order of displacement depends on the lyotropic series, where ions with a higher positive charge and those with weaker binding strengths are displaced first. The specific order of nutrient displacement is determined by the lyotropic series, which ranks the strength with which cations are adsorbed by soil particles: Al3+: Most strongly adsorbed, so if present, it will be displaced by H+ ions, leading to increased solubility of aluminum and potential plant toxicity. Ca2+: Displaced next, as it is more strongly bound than Mg2+ or K+ but less than Al3+. Mg2+ and K+: Displaced after Ca2+. The displaced nutrients can be lost from the root zone through leaching, becoming unavailable to plants. As H+ ions increase, the proportion of acid cations (H+ and Al3+) on the exchange sites increases, while base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) decrease, resulting in a lower soil pH. The amount of photosynthesis (water splitting) directly determines the availability of H+ ions (protons) in a plant. 90% of water is for cooling of photosynthetic apparatus the other 10% is split for its H+ among others things. Carbon sugars, like glucose, do oxidize in soil through a process primarily driven by microorganisms, which break down these sugars for energy. This oxidation converts the sugars into carbon dioxide (CO2) through cellular respiration, a key part of the soil carbon cycle, though some carbon may also be incorporated into soil organic matter. The rate and extent of sugar oxidation depend on factors like oxygen availability, the presence of Fe oxides, and soil redox conditions, which can all influence the process. My understanding of why we flush. Just plain water, what does it do? Strips the medium of salts and nutrients making it empty. What does that do? Triggers nutrient recycling within the plant. What's nutrient recycling? It is a natural part of plant senescence, which can be triggered once you know the switches. A 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio will also trigger. Why won't it trigger autophagy for me? Nitrogen needs to be gone, gone, gone almost. Ammoniacal (organic) nitrogen takes 4-5 times more water to separate it from soil particles than nitrates so what happens is most people jist flush the nitrates, leave all the ammoniacal in there and this prevents autophagy initiating. Nitrogen decays differently depending on its form during the dry. Ammoniacal nitrogen will oxidize in the air, leaving no trace. But nitrates do no decay and turn volatile and smelly and remain trapped until smoked, no matter how long you cure it does not oxidize. This is why you need to trigger it and begin the denitrfication process prior to harvest to get rid of all the nitrates. Otherwise, you will smoke it. Flush till autophagy begins, just make sure you add no nitrogen afterwards. Micronutrients for trichomes. Don't leave the medium empty for 2 weeks, that does nothing but reduce yield 10%ish. Trichomes are another thing. Trichomes themselves are not directly affected by flushing; rather, flushing affects the plant's nutrient uptake, which influences the development and final state of the trichomes. Trichomes are filled with antioxidants in the last weeks, which is what makes them cloudy. A lot of the processing of antioxidants requires energy and nutrients (mostly micronutrients ), so you don't want that soil empty for 2 weeks, you just want the carbon nitrogen ratio 24:1and no higher. She still wants what she needs to ripen. Processing antioxidants is energy-intensive; heat and light accelerate the rate at which THC converts to CBN. This is why you lower DLI, lower temps. By doing so, you reduce the oxidative workload caused by photosynthesis, which opens up the oxidative capacity for the production of antioxidants. THC is mostly processed at night when the plant's oxidative capacity is generally moreso "free and available" for work

🌿 Woche 3 – Vegetative Phase (19.–26. Oktober) Die Mädels sind jetzt deutlich in der Hauptvegetation angekommen. Das Wachstum hat sich in dieser Woche sichtbar beschleunigt: kräftige Stiele, gleichmäßige Kronenbildung und eine stabile, tiefgrüne Blattfarbe prägen das Gesamtbild. Die Spider Farmer SE3000 läuft inzwischen auf 55 % Leistung (≈ 480 µmol/m²/s · DLI ≈ 30–31) und liefert eine gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung über die gesamte Fläche. Keine Pflanze zeigt Lichtstress oder Verbrennungen – das Canopy ist geschlossen und harmonisch. 📋 Aktuelle Eindrücke Canopy: gleichmäßig, kräftige Farbe, leichtes „Lifting“ der oberen Blätter – Zeichen hoher Photosyntheseaktivität. Substrat: lebendig und locker, leichte Mikroflora sichtbar – ein gesundes, aktives Bodenleben. Klima: Tag: 25–26 °C · rLF 50–55 % Nacht: Werte folgen (wird nachgetragen) Sehr stabile Bedingungen, idealer VPD-Bereich für starkes vegetatives Wachstum. Lichtabstand: aktuell ~60–65 cm – optimal bei 55 % Leistung. 💧 Gieß- und Nährstoffplan Zyklus alle 2–3 Tage, abhängig von der Trocknung der Töpfe: 1️⃣ Bactrex-Tee (~1 g/L) auf trockene Erde 2️⃣ Reines Wasser (pH ≈ 6.5) 3️⃣ Orgatrex (2 ml/L, kein Run-off, langsam gegossen) Die Erde trocknet gleichmäßig in 48–72 h – ein deutliches Zeichen für starke Wurzelaktivität. 🌱 Strain-Layout / Zeltanordnung Position Sorte Kurzbeschreibung Front L/R Cherry Poppers × 2 🍒 kompakt, symmetrisch, satte Farbe, ruhiger, gleichmäßiger Wuchs Center-L (gelber Topf) Karate Kit 🥋 kompakter Phänotyp, kräftiger Mitteltrieb, frühe Seitentriebe Center-R (terracotta) Lemon Orange 🍋 größte Pflanze im Zelt, breite Fächerblätter, moderater Stretch Back L/R White Gorilla Haze × 2 🦍 dunkelgrün, buschig, enge Nodien, stabile Struktur 📸 Visuelle Entwicklung (19. → 24. Oktober) Vom Start der Woche bis heute hat sich das Canopy sichtbar verdichtet. Die Pflanzen stehen kompakt, zeigen kräftige Stiele und einen gleichmäßigen Aufbau. Die Blattfarbe ist tiefgrün mit leicht glänzender Oberfläche – Hinweis auf optimale Ernährung und Photosynthese. White Gorilla Haze (Back L/R): buschig und dicht, starke Blattmasse, kräftige Blatttiefe. Lemon Orange (Center-R): größte Pflanze im Bestand, breite Blätter, gleichmäßiger Stretch. Karate Kit (Center-L): symmetrischer Aufbau mit deutlicher lateraler Entwicklung. Cherry Poppers (Front L/R): kompakt, gleichmäßig, ruhig wachsend – klassischer Indica-Habitus. Das Gesamtbild des Zeltes ist geschlossen und vital. Keine Mängel, kein Lichtstress, keine Verformungen. 🧠 Notizen & Beobachtungen Luftfeuchte bei 50–55 % halten – kurzzeitig anheben, wenn sie unter 45 % fällt. Umtopfen in 18 L Endtöpfe, sobald die Wurzelballen vollständig durchzogen sind (voraussichtlich Anfang Woche 4). LST-Training ab der 5.–6. Nodie geplant. Aktuelle Lichtleistung (55 %) bleibt bis zum Umtopfen konstant – PPFD und Temperatur perfekt ausbalanciert. ✅ Fazit – Woche 3 Eine rundum stabile und produktive Vegetationswoche. Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich kräftig, gesund und gleichmäßig; keine Stresssymptome oder Mängel. Das Klima ist konstant, das Substrat aktiv, und die Beleuchtung optimal abgestimmt. Woche 3 hat das Fundament für Training und Umtopfen in Woche 4 gelegt. Gesamtbewertung: 🌿 9.5 / 10 Vitales, ausgeglichenes Wachstum – starke Struktur, gesunde Blätter und lebendiger Boden.

1 Strain, same breeder, same tent and conditions but 3 different agendas. Molly is just over 42”, Meredith is 30” and Marissa only 16”. I think Molly’s stretch is over and the other 2 have a ways to go. This week I defoliated all 3 again to open up the bases and thin the canopies a little. I’m no expert but I’m learning and the ladies are looking great. Added some more coco to make up for the sinking and while I’ve been trying to keep this as simple as possible just using Advanced Nutrients and CalMag, after doing lots of reading I ordered some Big Bud for Coco and will be starting that when it arrives. Haven’t run the humidifier this week at all or the dehumidifier. Just letting it stay 45-55 on its own. Figured out how to gain almost 6” in the tent without sacrificing ventilation so got Molly back under the light fully, then she grew another 6” out of spite…lol. Great week! I love opening the tent and having the humidity and smell hit me in the face.
