14.11.2025 Was going to close the diary today but as it doesn't smell anymore I decided to close the diary this coming Tuesday, smell shifted from chemical fish ammonia to cooked fish with the additional Citric acid I sprayed in, rest in video 📸 🐟💀 FERMAKOR: The Dorade Incident – Spontaneous Batch Log (Because the fish came with guts, and I don’t waste potential) --- 🍽️ How It Started I ordered two big Dorades for dinner. Didn’t bother ticking the “cleaned” box. They arrived whole — full organs, eyes staring, one of them with a stomach packed with broken seashells (free CaCO₃ bonus). So instead of complaining, I just said: “Alright, fine. Dinner first. Hydrolysis later.” --- ⚗️ Phase 1 — The Gut Start (Day 1) Material: 160 g of fresh guts straight from the fish. KOH: 20 g (yep, strong ratio, I know). Water: ~250 mL warm. Dissolved KOH → poured over → stirred → left to liquefy. Within minutes it warmed up and foamed; by evening it was already turning into that deep brown, oil-slick mix I like. --- Phase 2 — The Rest Goes In (Day 2) After dinner, all the remaining parts go into the same container: Heads, bones, fins, skin — roughly 500–600 g. Add another 30–35 g KOH and ~0.5 L water. Stir and let it digest for a week or two or three, until smooth. The seashells stay in — they buffer the pH and slowly release Ca and trace minerals. --- ⚖️ Phase 3 — Neutralization Once the mix settles, I’ll neutralize down to pH 6.2–6.4 using phosphoric acid. Target ~40 mL of 59 % H₃PO₄ for the whole thing. Then strain through cheesecloth / pillowcase (no coffee filter — that’s only for exports 😎). --- Storage Bottled in brown flip-top German beer bottles. Label: “FERMAKOR FISH BASE – DORADE INCIDENT – 2025-11-06” Shake before use, store dark. --- 🌿 Application 10 mL per 30 L barrel mid-flower as amino + micro boost. Clean N-P-Ca + enzymes, zero smell, instant uptake.

Man, it's been a crazy week. These past few days have been brutal – seriously cold with this crazy humidity. I don't know about you, but I'm sick of the chills and the way my skin feels all sticky. It's been a struggle, but I'm finally getting on top of things. I think I've figured out a good routine to dry things out around here, so hopefully, I'll be feeling a lot more comfortable soon. My three Bubble OG plants are looking awesome. Two of them are super tall, and it's gonna be crazy when they're done. I can already tell they're going to have huge buds. The little one might be short, but it's so dense, it looks like it's just stacked with buds all the way down.

Watermelon auto is growing good in the Gen1:11 nutrition, under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2. She had some training today. Getting her ready to start flowering soon. Thank you Medic Grow, RQS, and Gen1:11. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Questa è l’ultima settimana. Faccio fino alla 10 con il flush e dopo taglio

All cherry lime creams remain strong with just 1 trap keeper left. Very good looking plants and all have been topped. Still waiting on sex but we should know soon.

Day 79. One of the most beautiful plants I've grown. Twisted Trees autoflowers always turn out as advertised on their website. You should definitely give them a try. Did some defoliation today to promote airflow as buds are thick and densely packed together. Smells strongly of fresh cut peaches. Thinking I'll harvest after one more good watering. Day 82. Gave her final flush yesterday. Will be harvesting after 24 hrs of darkness. Special thanks to Greenleaf Nutrients for simplifying and amplifying my nute game. Day 83. Harvested some of the top buds. Giving lower buds another week.

This week i’ve seen the most rapid growth. Was super shocked to see nearly all my plants as tall as me! Some leaves are starting to yellow a bit so next week i will top dress and carry on LST.

Didn't Pay to much attention to em this week😅 Deu to a shopping Spree😉 Got a new light and tent this week 😁 Light: Geeklight Geekbeast pro 630w Tent: Budbox pro xl 120x120 Expecting a lot from this upgrade stay tuned😉

Happy 1 Month To My Girls (Inserts Celebration Emojis) I’m Very Proud Of The 1st Month’s Progress These Girls Has Really Exceeded My Expectations. I’m Very Proud Of The Of The Purple Power If You Go Back To Week 1 You Will See That She Started Off The Slowest But She Is Now The Tallest In The Pack Standing At 21 Inches (that’s without adding the few cm I covered with soil) She Has Also Shown Signs Of Purple In Her Bud Development (Favourite Color) Can’t Wait To See Them, You Go Girl! I’m Also Proud Of The Gorilla Glu (12 inches) Stardawg (17 inches) And Girls Scout Cookies (16 inches) Development, They Are My Favorite Buds Here In The UK. They Are Very Bushy & Branchy And Their Stems Are Very Thick. They Have The 3 Main Pillars To Accommodate BIG Buds. Happy Growing Everyone. #OwlGang #AGrowingEmpire

Así finalizamos nuestra segunda semana de floración, están preciosas 😍 🍀💫 🏆

* 3rd December - Day 14 from seed * Well, what a week! And I wasn't even here to enjoy it. My partner lovingly tended Nora (we decided to name her) while I was away. Looking at 'germination week', you'll see I was constantly aerating the nutrient solution. For the first 4 days, my partner was pH adjusting the solution (Rhizotonic seems to leave pH constantly climbing - around half a point per day), pouring out any old solution from Nora's 'semi-kratky' pot, then syringing 24ml of solution through the rockwool. As soon as the tap root was around half way down the pot (4th day), we filled the pot so the tap root was just touching a well of nutrient solution within the pot. Each day, the solution was emptied and refreshed - not taking any Pythium chances here. Within the next 3 days the rest of the explosive root growth came bursting through the rockwool. So, time to transport her. Made some changes to the bucket: lots of holes in the rim for LST, full foil-bubble insulation (including around the rim of the net pot , and aluminium tape around the entire silicone air line - zero light leaks), a very large new air stone, and a 25w pump to power it. The pump is ridiculously quiet - not 'quiet for 25w', simply ridiculously quiet. And as you can see, it creates a bucket which looks like a pot on full boil. There's absolutely no way pythium is getting any sort of foothold on this grow. The root explosion made it very easy to position the rockwool cube within the hydroton - the roots are submerged while the rockwool sits just above. Decided to stick with the Formulex as it's doing a grand job, albeit the dose has been kicked up. Swapping the Rhizotonic for Regenaroot as I hear very good things, including that pH remains stable! Will now use Rhizo for foliar applications only.

More later after drying!

Day 3 of flower things seem to be going great, have already had to cut 1 down cause it was a male hoping I don’t have many more🤞

Day 52 - Deep Jealousy Auto from @anesiaseeds Nutrients: @atami_deutschland / @atami.international / @stefan_atami / @daniel_atami Soil: @promixgrowers_eur / @promixgrowers_global / @promixgrowers_unfiltered / @promixmitch LED: @powerlux_spain Tent: @secretjardin_ Thank you to everyone who follows and supports my work 🙏🏻💚 This means a lot to me and you should know you are a part of it and only with you all this is possible, you are the best community 😎 Growers love, love for everyone

Wat een mooie week heeft ze weer achter de rug. De toppen zijn aardig dik geworden en sinds ik haar alleen water geef zijn haar bladeren steeds meer geel geworden. Ben echt super tevreden met hoe ze zich ontwikkeld heeft tot deze prachtige dame. Dankjewel weedseedsexpress, echt een mooie strain. Ze ruikt heerlijk. Aankomend weekend gaat de schaar erin. Ik zal de aankomende dagen nog meer foto's uploaden. To be continued...

Starting to flower looks good

Amazing growth, great genes! She's growing next to a Larry og and the difference is amazing! No veg nutes, just water and root boost.
