Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week😁 Thank you so much for so much support on this bananas ride 🙏💜💚💜💚 Everything still going pretty well. Girls are developing and stretching like crazy. Athena currently Dec 14 90cm and main stem of Xena is not far of this height either. Unfortunately noticed first signs of calcium deficiency(my opinion) on Athena. Thankfully started feeding both girls with calmag weeks back but the dosage wasn't not enough for Athena. Started small treatment very next day on Dec 11 (see description below) I belive got my baby back on right track. Week 9 Dec 11-17 Dec 11 Watering was planned for Tuesday but due to calcium deficiency decided for a little treatment. Watered both girls with mixture of reduced content of growth nutes by 50% calmag at 1.2 ml per ltr. Reduced solution PH to 6.2 as apperently it's ideal for calcium consumption. Over period 4h I have watered Athena with 5ltr with couple runoffs. Xena 3ltr. Total of 7-10 leaves affected mainly at top colas close to the light. Dec 12-13 Purely observation and all looking well. Of course all affected leaves will progres of showing signs but good news is that growth and development booming and don't see any new leaves with symptoms. Very nice trichomes development in recent days and more and more colours. Dec 14 Second watering for this week 6.5l Increased calmag to 1.4ml per ltr and if still things will be looking well reduce to 1 or 1.2 on next feeding. Dec 15 Very nice respond on yesterday feeding. They definitely fatten over night and getting more and more frosty. Will need to remove some foliage soon as getting extremely bushy again. Dec 17 Xenas main stem top cola almost touched the light today. Tied her to left side of the cabinet, applied selective defoliation on both girls, tied few branches to netting and on the end of this busy day a third watering for this week. 7 ltrs beetwen both. Runoffs Xena PH6.4 Athena 6.3. Very nice week have to say. I belive that calcium deficiency on Athena is no longer a case here and both girls developing very nicely. Both are still stretching, buds are gaining in size and both girls started exploding with trichomes, Thank you all again for such amazing support 🙏peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚💜💚💜💚 Stay tuned for new week update 😉🧑‍🌾✌️💚

This week was exciting, my honey cream took off and now has a lot of side stems so I know I’m going to get it bushy beforehand flower! I also been training it so I can get the unders to come up and if you see from the photos I’m doing great! I’ve battled the heat now so I should be smooth sailing from now! I’ve also topped the side stems! (Last topping) I’m going 6 weeks with them! Look out for my other diary I’m uploading... Cherry bomb! It’s a week older than HC! Also have special kush to upload, they’re but slower but have now are showing grace! Also all my diaries will Ben correctly dated as I’m using the time stamps on my photos in there albums! Keeps me on track of my weeks!

Here I am, back from Mary Jane Berlin, finding my plants in a completely different stage. Day 16 of 12/12 and now I'm ending with 4 female plants from initial 9 plants. In this week plants are finnishing the early flower stage, and next week they enter the late flowering phase, which lasts 3 weeks, before ending up in maturation phase for the last third of the flowering. I do expect this cultivar to finnish in between weeks 9 & 10. Enough balls already, right? 🤞😅

9/27 She made it through the rain! Looking great in the sunshine. I gotta bring the loupe over again. It's smelling really strong and it looks like most of the pistols have changed color. If I wasn't losing more to damage I'd leave it out longer. It will still be a couole days probably because I need to put away what's hanging and make room. This has been one crazy year. Forty degree temp swings. Crazy year and even crazier pot. Can't wait to try them all! EDIT: I've been trying like hell to update this thing. I've been working my balls off. I ALMOST took the last pink kush. I have a video i'm trying to upload on my computer because I can't even update ANYTHING on my phone. Boy this years weed came out incredible! I've been working hard but as soon as I have a second to myself and get everything at least inside i'll finish the harvest and smoke reports and give some good pics/videos.

Day 76 - 29/11/23 OG Kush has a bit more of a fade after flushing 7 days ago. Bud sizes have not changed, but trichomes definitely have! More cloudy than clear this week! More amber head too!! I flushed her with an extra 2L of water on 27/11/23. Nice fade going on with all the leaves!! Im making sure all trichomes are nice and ready before the chop. until then, ill just be adding 2-300ml of water just to stop her from wilting. we're almost there!!!

First Week of Flower. Been going through some deficiencies this week still not exactly sure what it is it's either a magnesium/calcium deficiency or phosphorus deficiency. Stems turning red/purple and some leaves losing their color turning more of a dirty green/brown color with brown/orange spots on the leaves (ONLY HAPPENING ON STEMS AND LEAVES ON THE VERY TOP OF CANOPY) so it makes me feel like its a CalMag issue.

Start of Week 9 🙌 I plan to use fertilizer for bud growth from day 64 to day 70+... depending on when the harvest time occurs 😉😄👍 Started working with fertilizer today, every 2 days a mixture of 10ml per liter as long as the buds have not properly developed trichomes 😵 I hope this works 😵😲😱 Day 68 with fertilizer again

So we have one in week three of flower and the other is currently still in veg do to vegetables and other #AUTOs started for friends. It’s going to be interesting to say the least having that hydro in flower will be insane, almost need to remove half in clones just to be able to maintain. From what I’ve from her sister the stretch is easily manageable. Cheers to good Budz & Buds

Bit of nute burn appeared on just one of these phenos overnight. I think this is as this plant flowers longer than my nute charts so did a bit of experimenting. Wil dial it back a bit at this stage next grow to avoid this and have dialled back a bit now, moving forwards. It's not too bad and still seems localised to certain parts of just one plant so not gonna stress about it.

Día 4 de Floracion Como ya os comenté la semana pasada las puse ya a florecer, recuerdo que tengo un armario muy pequeño y muchas plantas. Al ser regulares tengo que estar muy atento para cuando se empicen a mostrar. Seguimos a 150W, el foco es regulable, de momento he conseguido estabilizar la temperatura por lo que seguiré así. Un riego con Alga Bloom, que empiece lo bueno. Saludos
