Week 7 – Substrate Saturation & Major Recovery Flush This week was noticeably tougher than the previous ones. After showing strong development for several days, the plant suddenly slowed down and displayed clear signs of stress: halted growth, reduced leaf vigor, and poor nutrient absorption. A quick diagnosis revealed the cause: an excessively high EC in the substrate, leading to a severe root lockout. ⚠️ Despite the difficult situation, the corrective intervention was heavy, precise, and absolutely necessary. ⸻ 🌧️ Major Blockage – Excessive EC in the Root Zone The symptoms matched a classic salt buildup: • stalled vertical and lateral growth • leaves showing tension and mild droop • delayed response to watering • slightly uneven color The conclusion was straightforward: 👉 The root zone was overloaded with mineral salts, preventing the plant from taking up nutrients and even basic moisture. Without a fast and well-executed flush, things could have worsened quickly. ⸻ 💧 Intensive Flush — 18 Liters at pH 6.2 (No Nutrients) To restore balance, you performed a deep, controlled flush: • 18 liters of water • pH calibrated to 6.2 • no nutrients added This reset allowed you to: ✔️ remove a significant portion of the salt buildup ✔️ rehydrate and oxygenate the substrate ✔️ restore proper root metabolism ✔️ rebalance the soil’s pH The final readings after the flush were excellent: • Runoff PPM brought down to 900 • Substrate pH stabilized at 6.5 These values are completely safe and give the plant a clean base to recover from the lockout. ⸻ 🔄 Plant Response — Still Weak, but Improving Although the plant hasn’t fully bounced back yet: • leaf posture is slowly improving • color is becoming more uniform • the root zone is breathing again • growth should restart within the next 48–72 hours A slight delay after such a heavy flush is normal and expected. The priority now is letting the plant recover at its own pace. ⸻ Nutrients — Mandatory Pause After such a deep reset: • no nutrients were given • the substrate must stabilize before feeding resumes • the plant needs time to re-open nutrient pathways Overfeeding too early could recreate the same EC issue. Patience is key. ⸻ 🌬️ Environment & Structure Despite the setback: • the structure remains solid • the LST framework is still intact • environmental conditions stayed stable • no pests or diseases are present The problem was strictly chemical (EC-related), not environmental. ⸻ 🌸 Next Step — Wait for Clear Signs of Recovery Before training, shaping, or switching to 12/12: 👉 wait for visible new growth and fully opened leaves. Once you see fresh, healthy movement, you can gently reintroduce nutrients at reduced strength. Only then should you consider whether to extend veg or plan the flowering transition. ⸻ 🔥 Conclusion — A Difficult Week, But a Clean Save Week 7 brought a serious challenge: a heavy nutrient lockout caused by excessive EC. However, your response was fast, precise, and completely on point. The 18 L flush at pH 6.2 successfully: • cleared the excess salts • stabilized the substrate • restored a safe pH of 6.5 • brought the EC back to manageable levels The plant is now on the path to recovery, and the worst has been avoided. Next week should show clear progress.

5-29-19 6-2-19 All is going smooth still. All are stinking, stacking, and looking absolutely stunning. The only "issue", the 2 East Coast Sour Punch are maturing a bit faster than the Popwalkers are. They must be fast finishing phenos is seems. I will let the Popwalkers go as long as possible without the ECSP getting to much amber. One more week of feed, and then I'll start the flush.

Stretching is slowing down now. I defoliated reasonably hard 2 weeks ago , now I know I should have gone harder but this is my first time growing this strain. I've got one pheno that's looking like it will be done in the next week or two . I have one pheno that has very few stigma which is something I've only ever seen before on super lemon haze crossed with mimosa evo . You can see them in the video. Keep growing 💚

Our Lavender is a recent creation by Seeds Mafia that we are cultivating with love and is starting to get serious. autoflowering like this. She is very well and very fit. We started with growth fertilizers that we give in small doses together with the rooting agent throughout the vegetative phase. Music of the week provided by Radio Nula from Slovenia. https://radionula.com/ Thanks to the friends of Seeds Mafia try this and their other creations seeds > https://seedsmafia.com/en/ Light and tent > https://marshydro.eu/products/marshydro-sp3000-led/?lang=it

Sweet, Sour, Gassy.. now we talking Der Geruch erinnert mich nun an Vitamin C Bonbons und die Buds legen immer mehr zu. Ich bin zufrieden mit dem Gesamtbild und freue mich über immer mehr frost. Manche Blätter drehen sich vor lauter Trichomen zwischen den Zacken. Überall sieht man Zuckerkristalle bis auf die grossen Fächerbätter hinaus. Es hat sich hier deutlich abgekühlt und für die letzten Wochen finde ich es sogar gut um ein klein wenig Herbst zu imitieren :) Basis Dünger werden nur bei jedem zweiten Giessen verwendet, Booster bei jedem Mal. Ich gebe nun bis zum Schluss Alfa Boost mit hinzu, während ich bei den Mengen von Growzyme und Huminsäure Plus variiere Das Thermometer habe ich nun mal auf Höhe der Blüten gehängt, im Endeffekt waren die Werte bisher alle von der Höhe der Töpfe Edit 5.Sept. : Habe gestern an einer Pflanze Bananen in den Buds entdeckt. Habe Sie gespült, mit Skalpell die Sichtbaren Bananenteile entfernt und wieder etwas niedriger ins Zelt gestellt. Die anderen Beiden bekamen heute nochmal nutrients und werden mit der nächsten Tour auch gespült. Ich brauche die Zwitter Pflanze mindestens zur weiterverarbeitung. :(

Day 1 Today is the first day of flower here we go doing a water changer in 2 or 3 days will set it to 900 or so can't wait to see the first buds on my girls a lot of love in this grow Day 2 Ppm at 450 now time to change out tomorrow Day 3 have a five gallon bucket at 1500 PPM to add back during this week is the reservoir gets low. ppm's are at 1150 with a fresh change of all the water we'll see how she's doing tomorrow Day 4 had a major disaster last night went in to check everything and have an inch of water inside of the tentnot too much water drain from the pots that the roots got dry but it did sprung a leak when I change the water out I filled the buckets too high so my sealed job broke had to think on my feet put the 4 plants into DiY dwc buckets I built with their bubble inside no way of maintaining the temperature in there going to have to get some kind of a new epoxy and hopefully have the system up and running tomorrow. Day 5 all is well with the grow again completely cleaned out the system and all the buckets put the new epoxy on there and everything is leak free did another exchange what the plants back to their original pots with a slight adjustment to the placement I hope the stress of moving the girls is not going to affect my yields too much it is only day five of flower hopefully everything's smooth sailing from here on out P.s had to add the 5-gallon of 1500 PPM nute solution to the reservoir to get everything at the proper level along with some extra Cal mag and a small amount of the other nutes the PPM in the system is now at 740 Day 6 happy to say not much to report lol everything looks good 🙂 Day 7 week over

The journey is over sister today it's time to tell you about the harvest of a wonderful Purple Haze Automatic by Zamnesia. I have grown this plant many times and it has always given good results but here we are way beyond good we are at the highest levels that can be asked of an autoflowering. Lots of grass a really great harvest, lots of resin everywhere and with a wonderful smell in the coffee/chocolate area. Do we want to talk about the main cola? It's scary. Majestic, like those of the past united, big. With the Haze forget about the ball-shaped blooms. This is a whole and long steak in full haze style. The taste is something that I have really seen very few times, the color is normal, some shades of purple in the end but not the full purple that I have not found in this strain but patience because it is TNT, really the color for me is becoming above all a question of aesthetics I am a photographer and I love colored plants, but the normal ones drive me crazy too. You should see how many times I smelled it. And how many times I sniffed my fingers. And how the plate I cleaned it on smelled. A masterpiece of gentetics, maybe it's because of the entire Plagron Fertilizer Kit with all the 100% organic additives I used, maybe it's the golden period of cannabis that is cropstober even indoors, maybe it's because these plants started with the moon's favor, maybe it's all this together and much more like my fantastic geographical origin that gives me an ideal temperature, the plants vegetate great and when it's time to resinate the cold arrives. We are from 70 to 90 grams dry here too it did very well on the scale. Zamnesia Description // Have you ever wondered what Jimi played in 1967?
