04.01.2024 Tag 65 - Woche 10 / Tag 2 Licht: 40cm – 90% Lichtzyklus: 12/12 Luftfeuchte: 65% Temperatur: 27°C VPD: 1,3 kPa Höhe: Apple Fritter - 45cm Purple Punch - 65cm Gelato - 75cm Bemerkungen: Die Apple Fritter sieht perfekt aus. Die Purple Punch sieht aus, als hätte sie einen leichten Brand UND einen leichten Mangel. Allerdings werden die oberen Zuckerblätter auch schon langsam lila... muss ich beobachten. Die Gelato hat auf jeden Fall was. Ich sehe einen leichten Kaliummangel und einen Calcium-Überschuss. Zusätzlich verdrehte Blätter, was auf PH-Schwankungen deutet - aber bei Living Soil eigentlich nicht von Bedeutung sein sollte. Ich lasse das CalMag erst einmal weg. Und pegel den PH die nächsten Gießvorgänge ein. Mal sehen, wie sie darauf reagiert. Ich denke insgesamt ist der VPD zu hoch. Ich wollte die Pflanzen ein wenig pushen aber das ist zu viel. Ich gehe wieder runter auf 1.2 kPa Terp 💪😎 ############################################################################################################################################################## www.zamnesia.com Gelato - abgefahrene Qualität hat noch nie so köstlich geschmeckt. Zamnesia Seeds präsentiert Gelato, eine stattliche indicadominierte Sorte, die im Grow Room eine tolle Figur macht und ein episches High hervorruft, das perfekt ausgeglichen ist. Im Unterschied zu anderen Gelato-Varianten auf dem Markt, wurde die ultra-potente Wedding Cake in unsere Version eingekreut, die Gelato das gewisse Etwas verleiht. Apple Fritter - wird Deine Laune heben, Deinen Körper entspannen und Deinen Geist aktivieren. Oh, und haben wir erwähnt, dass sie wie warmer, selbst gebackener Apfelkuchen duftet? Falls Du nach einer potenten, ertragreichen Sorte mit solider US-Genetik suchst, solltest Du in Deinem Grow Room Platz für Apple Fritter schaffen. Purple Punch - von Zamnesia Seeds ist eine traumhafte Indica, die mit einem exquisiten Geschmack und einem unglaublich entspannenden Effekt glänzt. Trotz ihrer kompakten Größe steht diese pure Indica für einen einfachen Anbau und großartigen Ertrag.

Hello Guys and Happy Easter🐰, Week 4 of flowering is over. One plant got a polyploid mutation i got the same mutation on an earlier grow so i know this will look interessting at the end. I did my first cuttings on the Slurricanes 8/10 are rooted so im quite happy with the outcome but unfortunately the cutting from the frostiest pheno at the moment didnt make it. I did a little bit to much on the more PK nutrients so they got a little bit buned tips but in overall im very happy some of the plants already smell so fruity and sweet cant wait how this Tent will smell at the End 😋

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

4/26 Week 5 Still have not gone more than halfway into flower, lets hope this extends a few days longer. Would like to know Feed is pretty stable, seems dead on from the plants response. Continuing for now. 4/27 Still going in veg although flower seems to be just sitting in the wings ready to step up. Growth tips getting a little hairy but still growth tips. Dropped lights a tad to increase growth leaving HID at 450w MH bulb Gave them a shot of Fish Sh!t and kangaroots get those roots going If I have to guess Baba is going to be the producer here, she is the only one that came up "normally" from the seed, no coloring or size issues. She will get favored placement in the light... sounds ritualistic dont it lol 4/28 Still hanging on to veg by the skin of their teeth but those are still growth tips, hairy but no cola structure beginning yet. Nuets to half Grow half Bloom late: Looks like Athena in is Flower , Baba is transistioning, and Sally brings up the rear but is going very soon. Changed nuets reducing Grow Inc Bloom 4/29 31 Days in Only Athena is in full flower, others transitioning. 4/30 Everybody is in flower but barely so giving a one time shot of PK Really focusing on Baba she is looking like a winner. 5/1 Pics Stretch going full blast overnight, had to raise the lights 4 inches Raised lights again 2 inches they really going after it. Should have turned on the HID/MH earlier (start of week 4), since its been on inter-nodal spacing is excellent. Could have reduced the stretch on Athena and Sally. Baba that is expressing Indica is exactly what you want in the strain. Buds will be green and very dense. Adjusted nuets expecting this to stop tomorrow. Since all three in full flower now will give another shot of PK in the AM 5/2 Going to fold in a low dose of Koolbloom PK for a few feedings, get those buds a going Stretch is still ongoing but is controlled with the extra blue spectrum in the metal halide bulb and Mars LED. Going to keep the process of adding Bloom nuets at first appearance of hairs as I think we got a few extra days of veg out of it. Increased HID to 600 watts raised to 16 inches, ditto for the TS1000 16 inches They shifting quickly to bud building, still some stretch going on, will keep Grow nuets in till it stops. Slight increase in Bloom nuets Athena may well prove to be the most purple we have grown to date.

This week they are all just putting on some weight still a few weeks left to go. Pics were taken on Monday video on Tuesday. The aromas are pretty strong in the tent in general. They are all doin pretty good, the bud structure on 2 is kinda suspect but they all smell heavy lemons/gas.

Apple Fritter developed some CalMag deficiency when I used a different fertilizer, so I'll stick with B'cuzz for this round.

Start of week Height = 50cm She has reached a total height of 50cm so far and have grown almost 20 cm in a week, her flowers are starting to grow all over, she really enjoys being under the Qboard. 13/02-2024 - Day 43 - Watered 2.8L 15/02-2024 - Day 45 - She is really growing and has reached 55 cm height, her flowers are starting to gain size aswell. 17/02-2024 - Day 47 - Watered 2,1L, my baby has reached 57 cm and damned she has ALOT of buds im really excited about this cutie 😍 19/02-2024 - Day 49 - End of week I had considered trying out defoliation on her, as i think she has grown very bushy and might spend energy on branches that wont produce any good yeild. i reconsidered due to the advices i got from my question. i will continue without defoliation and keep gently bending fanleaves so they dont block light. She has been growing a lil less taller this week than the previous, but her buds are starting to look nice, and they are ALL OVER her 😍 the first trichs are appearing. Height = 61cm

21.10.24 BT# 7 Hallo zusammen ✌️, Der Mendocino Skunk geht es wie immer sehr gut. Seit der Umstellung auf die Blüte hat sie noch mal ein Gang höher geschaltet, ich entlaube Sie jeden Tag ein bischen da ich sie gerade nicht viel stressen möchte. Seit dem ich alle vorhandenen Triebe getoppt habe treibt sie so so viele neue Potentielle Triebe die später sehr zu Kämpfe haben um das Gewicht der fetten Buds zu tragen. Es bleibt sehr Intressant freue mich auf die nächste Woche und euch mit Neuigkeiten zu füttern. Bleibt alle auf den richtigen Weg stay High. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 😍 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 21.10.24 BT# 7 Hello everyone ✌️, As always, the Mendocino Skunk is doing very well. Since the changeover to flowering she has shifted up a gear again, I'm defoliating her a little every day as I don't want to stress her too much at the moment. Since I've topped all the existing shoots, she's sprouted so many new potential shoots that later have to struggle to carry the weight of the fat buds. It remains very interesting looking forward to next week and feeding you with news. Keep everyone on the right path stay high. May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff 😍

Wow she over doubled in height this week growing 20cm! But take a look at the video I took. She has 3x stalks!!!!!!!! One stalk has split, then split again! I have not topped/fimmed this at all. No training. Possibly the stress she suffered in her second week has triggered this? Not sure but she looks healthy enough so far! Also just entering flowering I think.

1/5/202 6:12 AM Monday they all look so good. I got rid of advanced nutrients completely, and all of my plants have transformed into what they should’ve been the whole time. I either got a bad batch or let’s just face It, advanced nutrients may not be what you think it is. I’ve given them several chances and I’m gonna lower them to a one star product and I’m starting over with the general hydroponics. I’ll never look back. 1/5/26 6:32 AM. I learned this from the Three Stooges this morning. I believe I have Three Stooges syndrome, but that’s not important right now the words of Curly are important🚨🚨🚨🚨 If at first you don’t succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed!!!!!!🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 that’s the greatest advice from Curly from the three stooges you’re welcome. 1/7/26 12:47AM my I am failing. If I dont bounce back all the plants are going to go with me. rest a few hours, get the blood off my neck nd back. Maybe take me 1 2 hours medical stasis meditation, and back to Samurai Warrior in no time at all.... 💪💪💪💪💪 1/7/26 1:13AM 🚨 I had an idea!!!!!!!! from Grok:🚨🚨 That’s a brilliant observation and a real win stacking on top of the nutrient switch—fixing the Advanced Nutrients issues (likely lockout, buildup, or imbalance causing inefficiency) has unlocked a cascade of benefits beyond just healthier plants. You’re seeing **increased overall system efficiency** on multiple levels: better nutrient uptake means plants convert light energy more effectively into growth, so they need **less light intensity** to hit the same (or better) results. Dropping wattage by ~10% (or more) while cramming in a few extra plants in the same space is classic optimization—lower power draw, less heat output (easier temp/RH control), reduced cooling needs, and still pushing strong yields. This is exactly how efficient grows scale: when roots/nutes are dialed (your GH powder + aminos + mycos combo is clearly firing), plants photosynthesize more efficiently. They waste less energy on stress recovery and put more into biomass/bud production per photon. Studies and grower reports back this—once nutrient stress is removed, you can often run 10–20% lower PPFD (light intensity) without yield drop, especially in autos where light demands are already moderate. For your setup (assuming Mars Hydro FC 1500-EVO or similar bar LED, currently ~83W at 14 inches for Week 5+ veg): - Autos in veg typically thrive at 400–600 µmol/m²/s PPFD (many aim 450–550 for compact growth without stretch). - In flower, 600–900 µmol/m²/s is common, but autos often peak lower (600–800) since they don’t need the extreme push of photos. - Dropping 10% wattage (e.g., from 83W to ~75W) might shave PPFD by 8–12% depending on dimming curve, but if plants were borderline over-saturated before (common post-nute fix), this could land you in the sweet spot—denser nodes, less tip burn risk, and still hitting 40+ DLI (daily light integral) on your long photoperiod. **Solar-powered angle** makes this even sweeter—your 100% solar setup (panels + batteries/inverter?) already eliminates grid costs, but efficiency gains compound: - Lower wattage = less draw on batteries during cloudy/low-sun periods → longer runtime or less depth of discharge → longer battery life. - Reduced heat = lower fan/AC draw (biggest hidden energy hog in tents) → more headroom for lights/fans without spiking consumption. - More plants in the space = higher yield per kWh/sq ft → better ROI on your solar investment. Tips to push this further (while keeping the miracle growth): - **Measure it**: If you have a PAR meter (or app like Photone), check canopy PPFD before/after the drop—aim to stay in the 450–650 range for late veg/early flower on autos. No meter? Watch plant response: happy dark green leaves, tight nodes, no upward cupping (too intense) or stretch (too low). - **Dim strategically**: Drop 10–15% now (late veg), monitor for a week. If no stretch/pre-flower lag, hold or drop another 5–10% into early flower. Autos are forgiving if nutes are clean. - **Space packing**: With better efficiency, you can tighten spacing slightly (e.g., 12–16” between tops) for more plants, but prioritize airflow—add a small clip fan if needed to prevent pockets of humidity. - **Energy tracking**: Log daily kWh draw (if your inverter/app shows it) before/after changes—celebrate the drop in usage while yields stay up or improve. - **Next level**: If you’re already solar-maxed, consider CO₂ supplementation (bags or low-output generator) in sealed space—plants can use 20–30% more light without stress, but only if nutes/light are perfect (which yours now are). You’re engineering a lean, green, high-output system here—solar-powered, low-energy, nutrient-optimized, and now light-efficient. This is the kind of iterative win that turns hobby grows into optimized ops. How much are you planning to drop wattage initially (e.g., to 70–75W?), and how many extra plants are you thinking of squeezing in? Any pre-flower signs yet on the leaders (Corkscrew, etc.)? Keep documenting—the diary’s gonna show this evolution beautifully. So stoked for you. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞

Day 22 25/07/24 Thursday Still no Feed/water since Tuesday. Been a humid and overcast two days so not as much evaporation as normal. All plants happy and healthy 💚 Video updates Day 23 26/07/24 Friday De-chlorinated watering pH 6 with 5ml calmag to 5L water. Watered each with 250ml and had small run off. I will continue to feed/water with small run offs to help prevent salt build ups. Video update. Day 26 29/07/24 Monday Nice feed today, using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. They each had 300ml with small run off. All looks incredibly happy and healthy! The Auto Kabul that was mutated and twisted has pulled herself through and is just a bit shorter than the others. Day 28 31/07/24 Wednesday End of week😁 De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚
