She has made it to day 35😍 I was away for most of the week. When I got back I did some more lst and took a couple leaves off. If I didn't stretch her out the plant would have been huge. The plant is also starting to flower now. 😍

I top dressed with a hand of worm castings per pot and noticed first pre-flowers on the Epsilon F1. Super green and healthy girls and slowly a delicious fruity smell is sticking on my hands after touching the leaves.

She’s bulking up like she’s got a beach date with a joint. Week 4 vibes: fattening, frosty, and funky. Let’s gooo. 🔥

Hello, This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. I completely forgot about reporting last week. Got the roof re-shingled and they finished on Tue and I chopped fire wood when they left. Chopped for 3 days and on Sat. I couldn't remember if I reported... so I had to look... I hadn't... Oh well.. Got 3 weeks left to go and this is the last week for nutrients. I'll give a couple of weeks of ph adjusted tap water only, before harvest. Yes... I still like to flush... For better taste. I've tried growing right up to harvest before and was disappointed with the pot. Or had to harvest early, because of pests, and didn't flush. I could taste the nutrients left in the plant tissue. Have you ever tried the ash test to see how clean your pot is? When you smoke a joint, the ash at the end is supposed to be white and fall off the end easily, for the cleanest cannabis. It always takes 2 weeks flushing, for me, to get that good white ash. If your ash is gray... that's not too bad, if it falls off easily. But if it's dark gray with black streaks in it and is stiff and has to be pushed off the end of the joint, then it will probably taste bad too and has too much nutrient left in it... Have you ever smoked a joint and had it sizzle and soft pop (not like a seed pop) It has too much nutrient left in the plant Try your own test (smoke a joint) to see how your pot stacks up. OK. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.

After another weekend spent away from home, on day 26 both Opiums present at 30 cm height, having grown big and bushy. Their thirst increased, I will water them when their next day starts. And do some more LST. Not too long until I can install the scrogging net. I am really impressed by their progress. They developed a lot of branching side branches and look really healthy and bushy. In contrast to what I wrote before, I think I can stay a few days longer with the current 80% 18/6 lighting scheme. Leaf positions do not show signs of light hunger, so no reason to change. Watered them with 1.5 l each on their 27th morning, this time adding some flower fertilisers too. Compensated their relief with some more LST. I can see in timelapse video they are tmelselves compensating this stress easily; it’s amazing to see how fast they turn their heads. You’ll see soon too. For reference: Pot diameter is approx. 25 cm. So lady #1 spreads about this much, lady #2 is even about 10 cm more. Guess they’ll make a very dense scrog surface, but first let’s have them have their stretch. Day 28 evening revealed ladies are getting thirstier. The holey pots might be helpful in root development, but they are not when it comes to keeping the tent clean. Because of their structure, water runs out in respectable quantities each time they are fed, which takes a long time to evaporate and adds to air humidity of course. Which on the other hand is currently quite ok. Outside air temperatures are around 30 °C the last days, so a bit more humidity helps to keep the VPD in range. Which is quite ok as I still cannot complain about their growth – around 2–3 cm each day currently. Grow video for day 28 (sorry about the interferences! Due to the control hard- & software being offline I cannot silence the blower(s) when a photo is taken anymore) shows steady growth and very vivid movements again. Dropping of their leaves around their evening is possibly due to me watering them again as soil was surprisingly dry already. On their day 29 evening, it’s clear to see how much they are stretching: They really gained 5 cm since yesterday! Lights are close to 30 cm, so I think I’ll reposition things a bit when their next week starts. Attached video shows the day’s progress. They say you cannot scrog an Automatic but seeing the development speed and bushiness I decided to give it a try nonetheless. I guess the buds can profit from being a bit more apart from each other if I handle to fiddle them through the holes in time. I rearranged the lights to be at about 45 cm apart from the tops and set the lights to 100% at a 16/8 lighting scheme, waking them up one hour later than before and sending them to sleep one hour earlier. Last day of this week, day 30, shows that growth speed has even increased. Lady 1 crosses the scrog net already which is positioned at 46 cm above soil. Gave them slightly enhanced water again, 2 l each.

Coming along nicely now apart from alittle cock up yesterday where I accidentally topped her while trying too lst but I have managed too tape the stem in place so I am hoping my little cock up will force the lower branches too shoot upwards while the broken stem heals , This week I had too change my lighting too 600 true watts of kingbo dual optical LED range due too the temps getting closer too 30c than I would like , and by doing so I have now got a constant temp of 27c lights on and 18c lights out, Update on day 4 or week 3 , My little cock up snapping the main stem while trying to lst the tape seems too have really don't the trick , and although snapping the main stem is not ideal lol , It seems I've managed too top this plant and still get too keep the top , the leaves all look fresh and healthy and feed so I will leave the tape on there for two weeks and then try and remove it as all I had too hand was selotape lol The breakage really do not seemed too affect the top 2 nodes at all apart from trigger the lower plant too stretch out , as this break was bad , like hanging on by a thread bad , so really shocked it took too the repair so easily , and as always I had just been leaching the soil with a single feed that lasts them 7 days , my set up is completely automated and I only go too the grow space once a week but I have a WiFi cam inside the grow space so I can check the temps and how dry the pots are just incase I need too increase the feeding , but too be fair these autos seem too have a mad feed at week 7 and 8 and then drink one feed per week , keeping it simple has helped I think as the plants seem too love it , and I don't need too do anything apart from check the camera , And that's just the way I like it , I pay special attention too the temps in my grow space and a calculator in hand for the nutrients , Other than that I leave them alone too do what they do , I will take some end of week 3 pics over the weekend at some point it's abit of a drive so once a week suits me down too the ground , :) Update on day 5 of week 3 well as you can see from the photos this week has had a huge raise in production , the breakage I did too the main stem has completely healed it's self and the plant has bushed right out at the bottom and top of the plant where it broke , So all in all my little cock up has actually helped the plant grow larger , I today gave them a smaller defoliation basically anything covering a branch that could not be tucked under it I removed , This is too get as much light too these spots as possible too get them too develop before flowering starts , But so far so good , temps are good and no nutrient burns on any of the plants , and the results from day one / first feed on green buzz nutrients too this photo today day 5 is dramatic , the photo of all four was before defoliation , but the defoliation has just shown how busy they have this week and the bud sites on this things already is crazy , my next plan this week is too put the net in there and space out all of the branches too give the best spacing between the breaches

Die Blueberry hat überall schön viel Zucker gebildet und die buds sind schön dick ich bin mal gespannt wie die Ernte aussieht wenn sie fertig ist

ZTRAWBERRIEZ and Gorilla Punch don't need much longer. In this week the pistols all were coloured in orange. The buds did their bulk perfectly. We got temps +30 degrees so in the greenhouse there Are +40 degrees. The following week should get cold and rainy. ZKITTELZ needs a little more time but also is doing good.

2/8 - first flower feeding after 24 hours of being promoted. She was thirsty and I think I'm going to have to feed almost daily to keep up as the pot isn't big enough for a full gallon watering...mistake made. Need to defoliate and prune out some small sucker bud sites. Tomorrow or Wed for that. 2L distilled water Bloom 2g Phosphorus 0.44g Kelp 0.38g Cal/Mag 0.58g (too much) Microbes Bloom Stage 0.98g Amino Acids 0.69g Enzymes 0.27g (too much) 6.0pH 68.5*F 760ppm 2/10 - feeding today, removed all rubber wire restraints, minor defoliation of bigger fan leaves on top, removed some sucker shoots from down below and I am wondering what else to prune out. This thing is going to be a 2 foot x 2 foot monster! 2L distilled water Bloom 2g Phosphorus 0.38g Kelp 0.39g Cal/Mag 0.32g Microbes Bloom Stage 1g Amino Acids 0.68g Enzymes 0.15g 6.0pH 68.5*F 660ppm Oh and it's a girl! 2/12 - feeding and mass defoliation with sucker shoots pruning...removed about 20% or more. Now she has room to breathe and good light penetration to the soil. Also tied her down gently to open up the canopy and spread out the tops a bit. 2L distilled water 6.0pH 675ppm 69.4*F Bloom 2.1g Phosphorus 0.41g Kelp 0.44g Cal/Mag 0.34g Microbes Bloom Stage 1g Amino Acids 0.65g Enzymes 0.13g 2/14 - flush feeding 2L distilled water, 6.0pH, 69.5*F

Week 5 Day 29 Performed extra LST and fed her 7.5ml/1gal of floranova bloom to start flowering season!! Day 30 Spent the whole morning outdoors until 2.00pm Day 31 Plan on to make Scrog soon for the ladies, in the meantime we continue their sun and light schedule 19/5 lately Day 32 Gave her some water early morning and took her outdoors until 3pm Showed her first white hairs We were wondering when And omg here we go! Day 33 Fed her extra 5ml (flora Nova bloom) Raise from 1300 to 1450ppm Day 34 Those nutes are doing her very well Woke up like this! Day 35 Showing more tiny hairs all around Day 36 Developing more leaves and hairs to start making Buds full of Trichomes :)!

8th week of flowering. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. After a tip from here, I put all the LED lamps I had in the tent. Doesn't matter how cheap they are. The two light bulbs produce 6500k daylight... And it really bears fruit. The resin production around it is clearly visible. I'm excited. I realize that the trichome photos are a little too early, but I'll test the photo quality.

Not much to update. Buds stacking nicely.

Alles perfekt

So it's day 45 and not much has happened... pollinated them last week with blue silverhaze auto pollen... She don't make fat buds anymore... From now on, she will concentrate more on her offspring. So her being there was not completely in vain and her girls may be able to do it even better. Thanks for looking.. nor is it fun. There is always one who doesn't go so well. And nobody can do anything about the bad Werther or geoe... projects. Happy Growing Everyone!

Went to bend a branch it snapped. I taped it but the top was to heavy and snapped again. I figured cut it off now because it didnt look like it was coming back and I thought I'd just hurt her even if I saved the one.

I have watered her twice this week, once with 3l of rain water and once with 3,5l of rain water. I will probably up the volume a bit more next week. I upped the nutrition a bit despite the burned tips. I will not be home for the next 2 weeks so I will rely on other people to take care of my girls, the pics might be not up to standard.
