everything turned out very well :) and it's only with 50w and with 40x40cm space :) It was an interesting journey with her, a slightly different cultivation and old mistakes were discovered :) the flowers are not dense, but they are really very, very sticky :) I'm happy:)

Empezamos la semana cambiando los nutrientes al observar ya unos pequeños pistilos o estigmas , en definitiva, empezaron a mostrar tímidamente el sexo. Empiezo con poco y iré subiendo la dosis hasta 4ml/L hasta que vuelva a cambiar de nutrientes. Creo observar del Lumatek ATSpro que le fataria un punto de luz en el centro del panel. Por lo general con otras luminarias la planta del medio me solia crecer mucho mejor y esta vez está quedando retrasada. Seguiré cultivando y si me sigue pasando lo mismo entonces no tendré ninguna duda, por ahora solo son conjeturas, xd De lo anterior rectifico , tengo que decir que pasados dos dias lo estoy viendo diferente, la del medio parece que sigue por buen camino, ahora apenas notaria la diferencia. La semana anterior, la sexta, se les hizo una segunda pulverización con dosis alta de 3ml/L con spiderbloom ( "fitofortificante de impacto muy rápido") pero de nada sirvió, durante esta semana subió la temperatura a 30ºC un par de dias y las arañas salieron a pegarse el gran festín. Una vez constatada la existencia de araña roja correteando por el envés de las hojas solo toca desinfectar bién el armario, lavarlas a todas una a una con agua corriente para arrastrar el máximo de arañitas y una vez secas darles con algun acaricida químico. De no hacerlo ahora me seria imposible más adelante y no tengo ningunas ganas de dejar perder este cultivo. No soy partidario de lo químico pero menos de dejarlas perder.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had thunderstorms and rain in the morning followed by sunshine. Day 2 we had rain in the morning followed by sunshine, then thunderstorms that night. Day 3 we had rain and thunderstorms that morning and intermittently throughout the day. Day 4 we had rain in the morning and cloudy until the evening when the sun came out. Day 5 we had rain in the morning then mostly cloudy until the late afternoon. Day 5 we had sunshine and clear skies until the afternoon. Around 4:00 pm a severe thunderstorm hit. It produced strong winds, heavy rain, and grape sized hail. Fortunately the hail lasted only a few minutes and only damages some leaves. Day 6 we had sunshine, but cooler temperatures in the mid 70's. Day 7 we had rain and thunderstorms through the previous night and into the morning. We had sunshine, clear skies, and temperatures in the upper 70's. That was followed by severe thunderstorms, rain, and a touch of hail from 4p.m. to 6p.m. The weather has been challenging this week. Rain everyday or night and lots of it. The rain on night 6 and morning 7 has started turning the hairs of TCA2 top bud brown. There's no softness and I hope it's not the start of rot. These fastbuds have taken a beating from the rain and there's more in the forecast. Other than the rain the buds are starting to smell and grow. Overall it was a successful week.

I don’t know where I really went wrong, pretty sure it’s some type of nutrient burn. 100% organic nutrients a 645 blend OmRI listed. I’m using the same organic blend on all of my trees and this is the only one that looks like that, using the HLG 550s temperatures have stayed under 80° and above 70 with more than sufficient airflow!

03.11: they’re doing great will update trough out the week. 05.11: got you some Updates. They‘re doing their thing 08.11: taking Off some Leafs every now and Then so they won’t touch any budsites, still doing great. 10.11: they‘re clearly starting to Stack, co2 is about to run out this week so I'll get them a little EC boost now. Lamp is hanging on max height possible now. Temps from 23 - 28C in the tent night/daytime and about 56 - 64% rh, will be lowered soon to 52-60% soon.

The Bubble OG plants are looking really good. They're all pretty big and have a similar structure. It'll be fun to see how they develop their own personalities as they keep growing. Well, another year has come and gone. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. May this year bring you all the things you've been wishing for. Let's make this the best year yet!

Another solid week with more sun, but the plants got kinda shot up from wind. No damage, but after a whole night of wind the plants were leaning a bunch and looked visibly frightened. Strung up the wedding cake for early training and it’s looking a lot better, CC seems to have mostly straightened itself out. Let me know what you guys think!

I had a good week, defoliated any yellow leaves I saw, let the soil dry completely and then flushed her a little. This plant isn’t the most resilient plant I’ve worked with, having more trouble than I’d like.

Welcome back!!! It’s the beginning of week four. I now consider this plant to have finished the seedling phase, now move onto the veg stage. THURSDAY - Day 22 10 October 24 - Switched the blue spec light out for the red spec light. - 380 PAR/ PPFD at 26 inches distance. - Topped the two bottom branches. - Started doing a little LST by adding a few staples and a little bit of branch manipulation. - She’s slowly shaping to my vision for this plant. - Gotta start thinking of up potting her soon into her final home. FRIDAY - Day 23 11 October 24 - Added two more LST staples. - Just a day under the lights. SATURDAY - Day 24 12 October 24 Watering day, 1 litre of dechlorinated tap water. - Base water 1 litre - 61.1 PPM Final - 1 litre at 6.45 PH at 62.8 PPM Runoff - N/A - Thinking of removing those giant fam leaves soon, they’re becoming cumbersome. - Did my final planned topping of the two top branches. - I tweaked a top branch and there was a pop at the knuckle, not a complete break but there’s a bit of damage. - I’m fairly confident that she’ll send resources to fix it and make it even stronger. - No stress, we push forwards and roll with the punches cause that’s what we do around here. SUNDAY - Day 25 13 October 24 - Just a day under the lights. - She doesn’t seem too bothered by yesterday’s branch tweaking. - There’s a but of a split but it seems to be scabbing over. - I’ll keep monitoring it over the next few days. MONDAY - Day 26 14 October 24 - Just a day under the lights. - Also a good recovery day. TUESDAY - Day 27 15 October 24 Transplant day into a 5 gallon pot and her final home. 60% Gaia Green Soil 20% Worm castings 20% Perlite 8 Tbsp Gaia Green All Purpose 4 Tbsp Gaia Green Power Bloom 5 Tbsp Diatomaceous Earth 1/2 Tbsp Dynomyco Amended this mix and transplanted. Watering day, 5 litres of dechlorinated tap water. - Base water 5 litres - 61.2 PPM - Add 2.5 ml Cal-Max - 172 PPM - Add 5 ml Supermax - 206 PPM - Add 15 ml Miicrobial Mass - 337 PPM Final - 5 litres at 6.61 PH at 337 PPM Runoff - N/A - Removed the LST staples to let her acclimate to her new home. - Will resume LST in a few days. - Removed the lowest fan leaves. - Some leaves are funky but they also are in the way of the important growth so they may get removed in the near future. WEDNESDAY - Day 28 16 October 24 - Just a day under the lights recovering from yesterday’s transplant and extended light hours. - She’s perked back up and looking happy though. - Probably resume with LST staples tomorrow. - The tweaked branch looks like it’s going to recover just fine, just a little weary about working it too soon. This is effectively the end of week four, it’s been quite eventful but we’re done with topping and transplanting so we’ll see how she gets on these next few weeks of pure unadulterated vegetation. Vamos!!

Flower Week 5 Day 35 to 41 - 3/19 to 3/25 Got behind on my attention to these this week. That combined with their age in maturity, they really show stress this week. Feed this week was 1.25 gallons 1 time this week and they suffered because of it. 700ppm total before add-ins. I used 700ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). Then I added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) PH balance this week was 6.5 again. I plan to feed 1.25gal next week with 6.6ph. However starting this week I will be starting a flush cycle of half ppms at about 400 and also decided that I will not be using HP2 - final defoliation will happen as well

And this is how we successfully open week 9 - After fermenting a dose of PK compost tea at the end of last week, I poured it extensively. As always, he did them very well. They also need significantly more water again. I have now also increased the humidity a bit, because there is currently drier indoor air in the room of the cultivation area. Let's see how long I leave my Sweet Seeds ladies. I'll decide that at short notice. Sour Jealousy will then be able to enjoy all the space to bloom at her disposal. Both Sweet Seeds now only get purified and aerated water and only enriched with enzymes. It is now time to signal to both to use up their reserves. After all, their genetically pre-programmed life cycle is significantly shorter than that of sativa-dominant strains - for example, Sour Jealousy from Fast Buds. She is only now really starting to flower, while the indica dominant strains are moving towards the glorious end. I have also already been able to positively determine how practical and thought through to the end 2 Sanlight panels really make sense. I am not primarily concerned with more power through the lighting, but also and above all, I am concerned with the homogeneous illumination at 11 degrees inclined positioning of the solar panels. And to have the opportunity to meet the different growing conditions individually by adjusting the heights of both panels. Of course, I will be able to strive for much higher performance in the large Homebox Ambient with CO 2 and both lamps, but area coverage is the be-all and end-all for me. Lamps currently operate at 60% each. That's definitely enough. Because 2 x EVO 4 - 80 means to me: Precision in the form of light - a tool that you learn to use. Everything before didn't convince and satisfy me nearly as impressively as Sanlight. Also the advantage of being able to operate your lighting system from the outside, via Bluetooth, yes that is really very important, practical and innovative. It makes things so much easier... Sweet Seeds - brand new: „Jealousy Z XL“ I can’t wait to give it a try next run… Super noble presentation, in my opinion. There are many reasons for an emotional attachment to a product. But one stands out in particular: the desire to design, personalize, individualize something or - in other words - the desire to own something unique and feel special as a result. Scientists have found that our buying behavior is shaped by emotions. A person does not buy a product, but an emotional feeling. Many thanks to Sweet Seeds! 🙏 I also feel the feeling that Dark Devil gives me - as a noble high. I associate the turn with a noble, very effective and multifaceted indica dominant weed from Sweet Seeds. Creative work only works in the 1st part of the turn - haha, because then the coma phase begins with subsequent binge eating! But even during sports I was in the vaporizer with Dark Devil and it supported me mightily during training. Maybe it depends on the activity at the time of consumption, haha I find it very fruity in taste and smell. Very sweet terpene spectrum. And not very top-heavy. A wonderful body high. Worries and fears - as if blown away… Some here on growdiaries describe meticulously exactly how they give what, when and how much of it to the plant, etc. I prefer to keep a diary for my passion in a different way. With passion and feeling. I feel my plants. And talk to them. They also listen to chilled music. The Kobe beef in Japan is even massaged to classical music. ;-)) I think such information is only useful for a run to those who do it exactly the same way, under the same conditions with almost the same phenotype. That is almost impossible. And not necessary either. I have to learn to read plants. Their signs are pointing. Become sensitive to it. If I know why and how something happens, then I also know how to keep something like this alive. And what it takes. And why. So let's see what we have to do today. In any case, Lady Jealousy is being driven to the hairdresser today. Yes, we're doing beauty and wellness spa today, haha. She's so busy with branching, I'll give her a helping hand. She has developed incredibly. And has an unusually long breath. Comparative: She looks like a farm animal to me. In other words, what it was bred for. Very strong and healthy adult. Then bloom efficiently and productively. And that's the fascinating thing for me. The breeder creates all parameters here to perfection. Even though I don't particularly like the marketing of Fast Buds anymore, I have to admit without envy: "I've never experienced that before." The phenotypes are absolute warriors, from another planet. Marketing is debatable. No problem. But I can only marvel at these plants and their quality. Unfortunately, too much turnover often spoils the core vision of a successful company. …PK is on the way! Addendum about the one, Lady Dark Devil 😈, which had to be harvested too early: And yet: Dark Devil gives me a deep inner satisfaction in my existence. Nothing upsets me. Nothing can disturb me, because I am one, with myself and my environment. I can only feel gratitude for that. It gives me this broad, generous sense of inner peace. For me, inner peace means balance, equanimity, even-mindedness, harmony, and stability. And that's exactly what a noble special effect means to me. When a weed variety can develop medicinal qualities. When THC simply has a more complex effect on my organism, than just the usual power high. And if, a plant that hasn't even had the opportunity to reach its full potential, can do that, it has passed all the requirements of a cannabis variation, with flying colors. And on top of that, she seems incredibly graceful and elegantly feminine to me. It's just something very special: She's a Sweet Seed! Oh I see, I'm writing a real diary here... 😜 But I love that. I love grow diaries. Look at the brave girl. She forgives me for topping, training, defoliating and in the end: that I have to kill her. But I know then for sure, that she knows, that I really loved her. And the fascinating homogeneity. Totally instructive. It behaves like a photoperiod phenotype, unbelievable but true! on 14.09.2024 I moved her to the grow room with the others. So it's almost 9 weeks. I'm curious to see if she holds out. But I think so. It seems incredibly energetic and relatively relaxed to me. I'm mentally very busy with her right now. Every morning I comb through her leaf picture. Make impressions of the smallest changes. I currently have Pk boosters or tea with her every third day, alternating. And in between only purified water with enzymes. Dark Devil and Big Devil I let slowly starve and then die of thirst. They consumed the last booster 4 days ago. She (Sour Jealousy) currently swallows 2.5 liters per day. That's really a lot. And in the morning she wants to have something again. I think the lamps tickle out their full potential. I meticulously defoliated her and now she stands happily and despite all the exertions, like a star in the sky. My star. 🌟 Sour Jealousy is really crazy, I can say that. And the coolest highlight will be: Lady Jealousy will soon be able to enjoy the whole place in the sun for the "grande finale". The smell of the two Sweet Seeds totally upsets me! I would like to bite into it. Its killing me softly. Very few leaves have a few dark small spots or dots at the tips of the leaves. (Sour Jealousy) Many thanks to BerrySweetHighhat. I think the same. Will probably be calcium. She gets this from the Bio PK Booster. I keep calm and don’t panic, it’s organic. ;-)) Sour Jealousy: Today I cleaned out small shoots again & defoliated them from below up. I think there were still too many young little shoots. Now everything should be distributed quite well. We'll see. Tomorrow I will probably harvest both Sweet Seeds. Hello everybody! Today it's Dark and Big Devil's attack. It's about time. Lady Jealousy will be allowed to use the full 0.64 sqm of cultivation area for herself from today. Take care & bee 🐝 positive 🐝… to bee continued.

week 2 of flower, been able to line up compost teas with feeds so they get nutes, nutes, RO+TEA, Repeat. foliar last times this week, I stop spraying anything on week 3! showed how i like to shake them up with the scrog a bit in last vid. I do that to essentially simulate a wind storm, strengthen stalks and roots, also helps reorganizing the canopy as you sorta shake things into place that were bunched up next to neighboring leaves. next week will do a fairly heavy defoliation to allow better airflow around colas
