CONTEST TEKNOGROW BIG BUDDHA SEEDS BUDDHA TAHOE GROWER GIOVANNI

Day 28 flower Girls are looking solid — buds are stacking nicely and the trichome frost is already showing up on the bigger colas. I’m loving the dark tones coming through, especially on the Kush Crasher (those purple/bronze leaves are sexy). A few plants are showing light N deficiency on some older fan leaves (yellowing lower leaves), so I’ll tweak the feed mix to stop that drift — nothing drastic, just feeding smarter and keeping an eye on cal/mag. Overall the canopy is dense, colas are filling out and the stretch is well and truly done. Quick photo notes from yesterday’s shots: Wedding Cake (back-left) — fat, resinous tops, nice white pistils and good bud density. Kush Crasher (back-center) — gorgeous dark colouration, big chunky nodes, looking like it’ll finish purple if temps stay cool at night. AK-47 (back-right) — chunky central cola forming, a touch sensitive to humidity so I’m watching airflow. Double Krush (front-left) — frosty and sugary, good structure and lots of side bud action. Wappa (front-center) — slightly paler, showing that light N pull, but buds are stacking nice and airy. Detroit Runtz (front-right) — tight little colas, smelling sweet, filling out well. Box still smells absolutely insane when I open it — that classic flower-room punch is back and I forgot how addictive it is after a break. Main concern is night RH spikes (still working on that), and the odd yellow fan leaf — both solvable. Tomorrow I’ll do one last light clean (trim the real shady bits), double-check feed strength and let the girls fatten up. Feeling good — plants are responding and the tent is starting to look like it’s doing work. Green vibes. ✌️🌿

July 14: it’s getting hard to measure how tall she is. I’m 6’2” and it is further than I can reach. For scale it is in a full size garbage (not that you can really see it in some pics). July 15: looks to still be growing fast. This plant is too tall and cannot be forever flowered like the other photoperiods. It’s starting to flower and is supposedly a late Sept or early October finish. July 16: double rainbow after thunder showers. Did a major defoliation on the three big manifolded plants.

¡Día 21 de floración y decidí darle más luz al escenario verde de Tropicanna Poison! 🌿☀️ Realicé una poda estratégica de las hojas más grandes, permitiendo que esos cogollos en ascenso reciban toda la atención lumínica que merecen. 💡🌺 La planta está respondiendo con energía extra y los resultados prometen ser tan brillantes como el sol que ahora llega a cada rincón. 🚀✂️ ¡Una poda para un espectáculo floral más brillante! 💚🌈 #TropicannaPoisonUpdate #PodaCannábica #FloraciónRadiante

BM is coming right along , smells absolutely divinely fruity and is well sticky. Just keeping up the defol once a week and spreading her out a little. She’s been effortless to grow so far just gonna keep doing the same same and watch her fatten up the next few weeks

Another good week for this lady. Temps were high, but she handled it like a champ. Because she is so beastly and only in a 4 gallon pot, I’m watering about 1 gallon of water every 3 1/2 days. The dry back seems to be better if I don’t wait till the 4 th day. Buds are developing nicely, and stacking really well. I’m going to have some decent sized colas. Frost is coming along nicely too. She has a Kush smell with some sandalwood at the moment… Temps were floating around 82 degrees this week, with RH around 55-58%. Plucked a few more fan leaves, but otherwise just a slight turn each time I check on the tent. Happy Gardening

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!💚🌱💚 I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times 😅 Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way 🙏 My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.😆. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. 🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️ Happy Growing! 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

Woche 18

Good morning growers .. The third week of vegetative has begun. I add for a day to week the nutrient 'vita race' of Plagron. I applied the LST and topping technique for taller plants and FIM technique for shorter plants. I cut the branches at the bottom because when they go into the flowering phase, those branches will produce small flowers. Sorry for my English 🙄 Stay tuned 🦍💪🏻

| 📅 Week 12 | 10/03 - 10/09 | 💡 1000w 📏32' | | 🌡️️🌞 78- 86 | | 🌡️️🌑 68 - 78 | 10/03 Reservoir swap for 2 plants and the beginning of a flush for one! Debating a staggered harvest 10/04 Water Phed to 5.6. The temperatures have been looking surprisingly well. 10/05 The 2 plant with nutrients still have slowed down there water consumption. Still debating on how long I will give them. 10/06 Reservoir refills + Water Phed. The Flushing plant is fading because of the lack of nutrients so we will pull her over the next few days. 10/07 Phed them although they seem pretty stable. A non flushing plant is starting to fade so I going to be flushing her soon. 10/08 Seems like they are finishing smoothly. Trichomes are perfect on the flushing plant and Just starting to fog up on the other. 10/09 Harvested The Flushing plant! Shes so sticky! Phed the remaining two plants! I cant get over their smell its insanely strong. The lavender color is taking over the tent! and it looks amazing with the crystals 😍

Day 1, Week 4 of Flower – Things Are Getting Real We’ve officially hit day 1 of week 4 in flower, and it’s starting to get real in here! Buds are growing fast, stacking up nicely, and the aromas are straight fire — it's getting stinky in the best way. The terps are really coming through now. PPMs are sitting steady at around 1000, pH is hovering around 5.8, and everything’s been pretty dialed in on the feed side. I do wish I had defoliated a lot more before flipping. Honestly, my whole training kind of went sideways when I switched to flower. I went a little too hard with the LST, and now I’ve got a jungle of leaves with loads of bud sites — way more than I expected. It looks like a big bushy mess up top with some nice buds, but quite a few lowers aren’t getting the light they need. I’ve said this before, but I won’t say it again — lesson learned. Next round, I know exactly how I’m going to approach training, and I won’t be making the same mistakes. But all in all, things are still looking good. If everything keeps going as it is, I’m hoping to pull around 7 ounces of some solid, dank smoke

At the beginning of week 2 the plants have grown fine, but also developed some yellow leaf-tips, which I assume is from the amount of light they receive. Therefore I decide to hang the both LED-fixtures higher. The LUMATEK ZEUS PRO 600W is now at 75 cm distance and the two SANlight Q6W-Gen.2 are at 90 cm distance from the top of the clones of CANNALOPE HAZE from DNA-GENETICS. The humidity inside the HOMEBOX-tent is kept permanently at 60% during veg. The grow-controller GROWBASE PRO from GROWCONTROL does a GREAT job in keeping a constant environment inside my growtent. As a precaution I put up some yellow sticky traps against fungus-gnats and also hang sachets with predatory mites from KOPPERT (=Thripex PLUS) on every plant. This will prevent spider-mites and thrips to invest my tent, since the predatory mites will eat them right away. I LOVE BIOLOGICAL TREATMENTS and decide on it every time instead of using chemicals, because I grow my own medicine here and dont want ANY CHEMICALS on my cannabis! 👍😎 At the end of week two I slightly increase the light intensity again, by adjusting the dimmers of my LEDs. The Lumatek is now set to 50% dimm-level and the SANlights are running at 60%. Until now there is not much difference to see between the two sides, all plants are healthy and doing well.

Clones off a friends plant, they where in my 2nd run diary but I didn’t have room for them in flower so I’m just gonna let them keep going till next flower run! Doing a lot of LST & topping just to try & keep her from getting out of control!

From/Desde: 16/09/19 || To/Hasta: 22/09/19 From day/Desde día: 56 || To day/Hasta día: 62 -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V1 - Compiled all growing timelapses into a complete growing video, hope you like it mates!. V2 - My apologies about the quality of this video buddies, I didn't choose a very good place to record it, and also the GoPro released the manual configured blocked exposure, so there are many color differences among days, as every day upon lights on the GoPro make a new exposure and temp adjustment (The light is 3,000k i don't know why the GoPro read it different daily). V3 - I'm still learning to record some cool videos, as for example @MyrceneDream ones 👊, and many others.... I'm not doing it well at time. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Hard work times drain my time for the plants and to make content, sorry about that. At last flowering started, as can be shown in the weekly video, the first 3 days after the full switch to 12, she stayed in a frozen state, no much growing or movement at all. Since the 4th day she started to grow at high speed, a bit more than a cm/day. She's really looking awesome, making some bold branches and defining every part of the plant very well. Some weeks ago I told that the smell went too strong at home, but it lowered to normal levels last week, now she's smelling more and more each day again ;). I can say about Alice.K, that I had 0 problems or weird things along the current 9 weeks, she suffered very high temperatures, some insects, and also i'm going hard with nutes, I'm cycling EC reaching 2 sometimes, and she didn't show any excess signs at time, I'm not telling that they're not going to exist on Alice, but not at time, if i see some, i will stop and re-adjust. Also she has responded very well to every prune or cut I've maded to her, and the distribution is perfect, I'm in love with the form she developed. while i was thinking on 4 external main colas with 12 secondary decent Satellites, she's developing 2 awesome central colas, with 4 secondary and very decent sub-colas, and then 10 excellent satellites, and many small ones that i will cut later on (Already cutted many below the SCROG net). -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 18/09/19 (Day 58) - 3,000 ml with Tarantula, Piranha, Rhino Skin, Big Bud, Bud Candy & Bud Ignitor @ (1.1 E.C. | PH 6 | 25.7ºC) 22/09/19 (Day 62) - 4,000 ml with Silica Power, Organic Bloom, PK Booster, Bloom Stimulator, Pro Active, Bud Ignitor, Bud Candy, Bud Factor X & Sensizym @ (2.1 E.C. | PH 6.4 | 25.8ºC) *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS V1 - He compilado todos los timelapses de crecimiento en un vídeo de 1 minuto, espero que os guste!. V2 - Debo disculparme por la calidad de este vídeo compañeros, no escogí una buena posición para situar la cámara y esta además perdió el bloqueo de exposición que le pongo, por lo que al realizar un auto-ajuste automático a diario, hay diferencia en la exposición y el color entre los vídeos de cada día. No entiendo por que siendo siempre la misma luz de 3.000 k la cámara la interpreta diferente cada día. V3 - Todavía estoy intentado aprender ha hacer buenos vídeos, como pueden ser los de @MyrceneDream 👊 entre muchos otros por ejemplo... De momento no me salen bien, ya iré mejorando. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Estoy teniendo tanto trabajo que me está dejando muy poco tiempo para las plantas y para realizar contenidos, lo siento. Por fin empezó la floración. Como se puede ver en el vídeo semanal, los 3 primeros días de la floración la planta se mantuvo en un estado vegetativo (sin crecimiento). A partir del cuarto día a empezado a crecer a gran velocidad, de momento más de 1 cm al día. De verdad que se ve maravillosa, está engordando bien las ramas y definiendo su partes muy bien. Hace algunas semanas comenté que ya estaba apestando toda mi casa y aún estaba en crecimiento. El olor fue disminuyendo hasta niveles normales y esta semana de nuevo está volviendo a incrementar su olor día a día. De momento debo remarcar que en 9 semanas de cultivo que van, la Alice.k me ha dado 0 problemas o cosas raras. Ha sufrido de altas temperaturas, algunos insectos y he empezado a ir fuerte con los nutrientes. Estoy ciclando la EC en los riegos, sobrepasando los 2 en algunos casos, de momento no ha mostrado ningún signo de exceso. Con esto no quiero decir que no los vaya a mostrar si sigo así, pero de momento no lo ha hecho, si en algún momento empiezo a ver signos, ya frenaré y reajustaré. También es un planta fuerte y con capacidad de recuperación rápida, eso se puede observar en los vídeos perfectamente. Y lo increíble es la distribución que ha adquirido, mientras yo pensaba en una estructura con 4 colas exteriores principales grandes y 12 satélites centrales pequeños, ella me ha sorprendido formándose con 2 cola centrales enormes (para el tamaño del cultivo), 4 colas exteriores grandes y un montón de satélites de tamaño superior al que esperaba, más adelante cortaré los que se queden más retrasados (de momento he cortado mucho de lo que quedaba por debajo de la red) -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 18/09/19 (Día 58) - 3.000 ml con Tarantula, Piranha, Rhino Skin, Big Bud, Bud Candy & Bud Ignitor @ (1,1 E.C. | PH 6 | 25,7ºC) 22/09/19 (Día 62) - 4.000 ml con Silica Power, Organic Bloom, PK Booster, Bloom Stimulator, Pro Active, Bud Ignitor, Bud Candy, Bud Factor X & Sensizym @ (2,1 E.C. | PH 6,4 | 25,8ºC)

The Plant as a hole (without the main stem and roots was 1.4kg. due to German laws I could only keep around 250g of the nicest buds of it. This should end in around 50g of dried flower. The wet flower weight would likely be around 1kg which would have resulted in 200g dry. For drying i took one nice branch of 42g and hung it on my ESPHome scale. That way I can track the weight loss. After a week at 60% humidity and 11°C (52F) the weight was constant at 10.8g. This is the time I took down all the drying branches, trimmed them and put them to cure (where they now are). Overall conclusion and learnings of this grow: - 200W might not be enough - Growing in DWC without any media (like pebbles, rock wool or so) is absolutely doable - Compo Expert Hakaphos Red/Green works but you will battle PH drops - The UVC aquarium cleaner worked great. Never had to use H2O2 - Renewing the water only if really needed works fine for me - 15L of Water should be the lower limit. The bucket I used was great but maybe a bit small - Automatic PH dosing (based on ESPHome and Home Assistant) works great - The cheap Chinese PH/EC probe did not drift much. I only had to recalibrate it once - It is nice to have the plant elevated for working on it but can get tricky if the stretch is very high like in this case Overall I'm happy. I did not have any bigger issue with pests or nutrient deficiency.

5/17/2020 so this is the 3rd week! The lil girl is looking so good. A little smaller than my other plant. 5/18/2020 No water todayvshe looks lovely! 5/19/2020 I gave her just a little 6.5ph'd water. 5/20/2020 It grew its first five point leafs 🍃 I'm pretty excited about it. 5/21/2020 I added some nutes for the fist time. Big bloom, grow big, microbe brew, Kangaroots, kelp, and holy mackerel 5/22/2020 I did a huge mistake I used table spoons instead of tea spoons. Stupid rookie move. Im pretty worried about it but ill just going to keep an eye on it.if it starts to show nutrients burn ill flush the plant. 5/23/2020 This is the end of week 3. I never thought Id see. Im glad I did this some mistakes but what new grower doesn't have them?

Woche 5 Die kleinen freuen sich über die neuen Töpfe, aber sie können noch nicht ins Zelt

Week 8 Flower week 2 Flower-day 5 26/10/2025 Finally feeling good again! Kept the same nutrient mix almost the same, have had to use some others just to get by until more rock up 🙃 Floramax Veg 1: 1000ml Floramax Rezin: 400ml Floramax Organabud: 400ml Floramax Flowering Enhancer: 400ml Cyclo Platinum Silica: 200ml ISN Cal-Mag: 400ml (still waiting on my main one to be delivered, so using what’s left of this) Green Planet Massive Bloom: 200ml Green Planet Bud Booster: 4 scoops (30ml each) Sleeps with the Fishez: 100ml — used some hydrogen peroxide today while waiting for the next batch to arrive next week I’ve been looking into a flushing additive called New Millennium Winter Frost for a nice clean finish. Pistils finally popped up yesterday on a few of the top sites! Should start seeing some solid stretch from Grape og soon, guessing around 30 to 40cm at least. I’m letting her do her thing and reach up into the net for now. If she starts getting crowded before the end of week 3, I’ll kick off some early defoliation. Also got two AC Infinity IonBeam S11 lights set up sitting about level with the top colas. I’m aiming the light to hit the middle and lower sections instead of blasting the tops directly, trying to get that nice even coverage. Still debating whether I even need to scrog this run, but a few people keep telling me to give it a go to see the difference, I guess only one way to tell 🙌
