Hi all. Plants start to flower, I can smell that, very well :) all looks pretty nice, without burns, I hope they will grow big.

The biosys is once a week when I cut off the res and can see the tray starting to empty out at the bottom. I then hand water some Ecothrive Biosys to aid the Ecothrive life-cycle in that second to top layer as well as the grow dots in general (it’s just basically a cheaper UK version of recharge, in that it has a lot of the same ingredients) only I figure they are more likely to be suited to my weather conditions if they are grown here. It’s also all REALLY GREAT stuff to add onto my cactus collection - works great! I just going to carry on - this has been the easiest grow iv ever done so far. All you need to do is PH the water and fill the res - all the microbe shit is optional - although IME boosts plant health and therefore yields. My last grow I got 1.8g/w and half of my grow space was taken up with the actual res! I didn’t think to put it outside my 3x3 (ish) tent! Still tho, that’s respectable numbers. Think it worked out to about 3z in total

Going nice;)))))

Einfach den schönsten Wachstum den eine autoflower haben kann. Sie sieht super ausmacht. Ich liebe die strains von fastbuds.

Had to tie up branches to take the weight of these heavy ass nugs, can’t want to taste this smell orangey as f**k! 🔥🔥🔥 started flush midway through the week.

D 75 02/04 just water this week, I'm very happy with this run!

After nutrition lockout for about more than a week,8 and a half hours without oxygen because the fan stopped working at night so I notice it in the morning,EVERY PLANT IS STILL ALIVE,I give her a good flush and she is looking much better and much fatter

Week 7 of bloom, and I’m thrilled with how things are turning out!🌟 One of the plants has been fully flushed this week and is now ready to be harvested.🌱✂️ It’ll soon be hung up to dry, marking the end of its journey. This plant was incredibly quick, going from seed to harvest in record time—impressive!🍂😊 That leaves me with the other Banana Purple Punch, which has now started its flushing phase. In about 1 to 1.5 weeks, it’ll spend 48-72 hours in complete darkness before being harvested. This plant is looking fantastic, and I’m excited to see how it finishes up. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this grow. Each plant has shown its unique character and pace, making the process both rewarding and educational. Can’t wait to see the final results from the Banana Purple Punch!😊

Mar 24: Watering till runoff now... runoff ppm was 2500+... Will be using very mild nutes to flush over 1 - 3 feeds... or until I am near my input. Mar 26: Continuing to use 650ppm feed with bloom focus, 2L per plant gives 15% runoff... Runoff ppm is still very high... I wanted to check pH of runoff but the color is so vibrant i cant use the pH drops to view color, need to get a pH probe. Plants are thriving, no issues at all. the extra fan fixed the post-water droop. One plant is bushy and has the most bud sites, One is the smallest but has the most uniform structure, this one has the biggest buds and thickest stalk, One is about in the middle of the 2. Mar 29: one of these girls gets droopy early when its time for water, thought the canopy was too high so i tied down some more, no cigar... gonna try increasing calmag, if that doesent work im going to reposition in the grow box to a side instead of middle, may not need the upper end ppfd...

This strain was a pleasure to grow! It was a strong, the most spectacular plant from the group. Always stepping up. The pheno was very resillient, growth was very fast and first pistils showed up after two weeks. Little neglected her when the stretch phase started - didn’t tie her down enough so she got a bit leggy (78cm tall) so there wasn’t really even canopy. And halfway through the flowering Magnesium deficiency or a lockout occured and never found a good solution to fix that. What Ive read Kushes need very large amounts of Ca&Mg during the flowering, and might be that 3:1 ratio of Ca:Mg had a synergism and decreased availability due the excess of other. Still managed to get some massive main colas. And can’t say enough how pleased I’m the colors! This plant growth was simply art.

Very happy

A very healthy week 2

FERMAKOR KOH Extraction – Update Last time I said the batch would be done in 3–4 days, but I made a last-moment change. I added fresh cannabis leaves, branches, and pistils to help buffer the extra KOH, fix the PK imbalance, and see if I can bring it into line without using citric acid. Reaction so far: greens are breaking down fast, adding nitrogen while soaking up some of the excess alkalinity. Smell: strong ammonia, but not rotten — typical of proteins and chlorophyll being stripped out. Texture: slurry has darkened, foam is down, liquid looks stable. Plan: let it sit a couple more days stirring, then check if it’s ready to use and use some citric acid in case the pH is still to high and "force" it ready.

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

Another wonderful week. Recovery from the topping has been superb. She has grown quite a lot. As of 5/2/21 she will be leaving the veg tent and moving to the bloom tent where she will spend the next 8.5 weeks with another plant, Cotton Candy. The tent received an upgrade to a third TS1000 for the 2 plants. Hope is enough for now.

Targona: 29 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 Fourth week of vegetation of my Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 Nutrients: I use Advanced Hydroponics Of Holland nutrients - three basic components, still according to the table for growth during the flowering period 💓 - - Dutch fertilizer Formula 1 Grow - supplies the plant with substances necessary for the perfect development of roots, stem and leaves; intended for the growth phase 🌾 - Dutch fertilizer Formula 2 Bloom - contains a large amount of nutrients necessary for rapid growth and fruit development, supplies the plant with energy; intended for the flowering phase 🌸🌿 - Dutch fertilizer Formula 3 Micro - increases oxygen intake, improves plant immunity, ensures better absorption of nutrients; intended for the growth and flowering phase 🌴 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plagron Power Roots - Root Stimulator Plagron Roots is a biological root stimulator that supports the formation of the root system. I use it until the fifth week of growth 🍃🍃 - I fertilize for the last time in the fifth week of plant growth. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------- BioBizz Calmag - The special Calmag supplement was designed for professional and hobby growers who need to supply their plants with calcium and magnesium in organic quality for a long time or immediately.
