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… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

Yesterday was a pH neutral watering with day temp around 77 -80 degrees, humidity is usually around 55-70%. I did raise the lights again and they are currently 25.5 inches away from plants (will change lights with next grow). Faced some challenges with these little gnats (seen about 3or so) but rid them with some packing tape hanging in various places which seems to do the trick. Right now they're fresh air venting and do so for a few hours every other few days or so. They have a slight smell but nothing strong or potent! Have noticed that the Epsom salt mixture have made the leaves greener and the stalks stronger so if your looking for a natural way to beef up and feed try 2tlbsp of Epsom salt in a gallon of water and spray the ladies.

Here we are at the start of week 2 for this Super Lemon Haze from Green House Seed Company Ltd. So after a perfect first week with rapid growth, good colour, no obvious malformations or deficiencies... I have begun to notice the very beginnings of what I suspect is interveinal chlorosis on the new growth. This would be consistent with the two older grows currently in progress. So I shall be applying a new seaweed extract fortified with iron both into the feed and as a foliar spray when it arrives. Still the growth rate has continued so far. I have moved the plant out of the makeshift humidity box it was in and it is now sitting on top of the pot it will be transplanted into. That will happen when a good number of roots are visible from the bottom of the pot. Lastly, I have started to leave the door half open as this drops the temperature by a few degrees, with the lights lowered and the tent closed it pushes 30 degrees celsius, with it half open it ranges between 25 and 26. am able to keep the humidity around 50% on average, but this ranges from around 60-65% right after watering, down to 45% within about two hours. It seems to settle between 40 and 45% whether the tent is open or closed. I am therefore periodically misting the coco surface and plants throughout the day. They never go unchecked for more than four hours during lights on, rarely more than two hours in practice as whenever I go past the tent I can't help but take a peek. Day 9 (W2, D2): I have dropped the PH from 6.3 to 5.8 on advice from @GrowingGrannie in grow question. Day 10 (W2, D3): Firstly, look at the different in colour in just 24h - I believe the combination of lowering the PH and adding Acti-Vera has made an impact in the iron deficiency. Today I have added seaweed extract with iron. This Super Lemon Haze at ten days is way ahead in terms of growth rate and size compared to all my previous grows. Overall it is about the same size at this point as the Big Bang Auto that is 12 days ahead of it. It is currently pushing out node three. Day 11 (W2, D4): The colour has further darkened and growth continues to accelerate. So far so good! I have transplanted to next pot 2l. I also flushed with PH balanced water and then fertigated. This is a test of the flush I intend on the other plants. Day 12 (W2, D6): Leaves beginning to straighten out. Day 14 (W2, D7): Height: 7cm Width: 9cm Nodes: 4 Weekly growth data: From 5cm Height to 7cm +40% From 6cm Width to 9cm +50% From 2 primary nodes to 4 +100% Week Summary: I think this is about as close to a perfect start as any plant I've ever grown. I am extremely happy with Citronella thus far and excited to see if between us we can keep up her developmental pace.

27 days into flowering now. These girls are still stretching, hopefully there done now! I was playing with my light rail mover a bit and experimenting with timings and I think this contributed to it. They definitely got away a bit on me. Lol No biggy, just had to weave a couple more branches through the top screen, canopy is not quite as even as I would have liked, but should still be a good harvest. My HPS light penetrates down to the second screen fairly well in most places I think though. I seem to have 2 phenotypes, 3 are stretching up and skinnier leaves, but 1 is staying lower and has big fat leaves. Dropped my nutrients a bit last week and they seem to responding better. Buds are developing nicely and are ramping up daily. Still running my light at 750w, debating on turning my light up to the full 1000w to get more light out to the side buds but I’m already exceeding 75000 lux on the canopy directly under the light. Not sure how this works with my movers, but I think I’m still gonna play it safe for this next week. Happy growing everyone! Cheers💨

week intel: it was the time to prune the cover crops this week i chopped them - no problem all good stresses : just a little E.C stress around 1.4 once a week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them heavy with silicate +base nutrients(calcium & micros + Bloom) about 707 ppm - 1.4 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Feeding Booster around 275 ppm - 0.57 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them with normal dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 213 ppm - 0.42 e.c to let them recover the stresses to get ready for another stress next week. guide of the week : autos do so so so much better with 20 hours light per day pls dont run autos near femenized 1 of them must get sacrificed

En la cuarta semana he tenido un problemilla, he acercado demasiado el foco y he estresado a las plantas por lo que no han estirado como deberían. 📅 Dia 29:🔹Descanso 📅 Dia 30:🔹 Descanso 📅 Dia 31:🔹Riego según la tabla de nutrientes EC 2800 pH 6.4. He notado que las plantas se han estirado mucho y se han retrasado en la formacion de flores debido a la proximidad de la luz led, una planta perdió pigmentacion y está recuperandose al incrementar la distancia con el foco. Creo se recuperaron de este estrés y la floración sigue en marcha. No se si me quedo corto con un led de 65w full espectrum. 📅 Dia 32:🔹Poda de alguna rama bajera y defoliacion. 📅 Dia 33:🔹Descanso. 📅 Dia 34:🔹Riego según la tabla de nutrientes con el PH a 6.3. Aplicaré 1 litro por planta para retirar las sales sobrantes y tenga una buena explosión de cogollos. 📅 Dia 35: 🔹Tras poner todos los parámetros en orden, han dado un gran cambio. El ventilador había dejado de dar aire y no me había dado cuenta, he comprado otro nuevo y ahora explosionan por días

09/26/2021 Starting week #7 of flower still picking caterpillar, and eggs of leaves, not to serious as we are on top of it. Starting the week with banana peel tea drench 2 gallons per girl, which is all she will get besides water till harvest. Still small flushes of pistils coming out I believe she (Hulk) is in final stage of flower (4) lots of orange hairs (pistils) but fresh one coming out daily albeit slower. Hopefully she fatting up in coming weeks. 09/28/2021 Week7 Day #3 Definitely seeing more calyx swelling. #1 is chunking up nicely #2 looks good little bud rot were caused from cattipillar poop! #3 coming from behind Will be last to harvest for sure.

🖐️👨‍🌾 Bienvenidos amantes de la Marihuana, comienzo una nueva temporada de cultivos, primavera/verano 24, con esta cepa que me va a llevar de viaje por el viejo reino de Siam a la búsqueda de la marihuana que pude fumar allí y antaño, tal vez en este camino cargado de recuerdos, me encuentre con otras flores... con más recuerdos. Después de unas semanas de descanso de la temporada anterior, comienzo este nuevo viaje con ganas y la esperanza de conseguir la mejor cosecha hasta el momento. Preparé concienzudamente el sustrato donde puse las semillas de las 9 cepas que voy a cultivar esta temporada, mi intención era emular la germinación espontanea que se produce en el bosque o campo, pensé en reproducir este escenario, mezclé un sustrato "cocinado" durante meses con nutrientes y minerales, añadí fibra de coco inoculada con Microorganismos de Montaña y mi Bio Coco EM que contiene minerales, hormonas, enzimas, etc. puse la semilla en superficie de ese sustrato y lo tapé con materia orgánica seca proveniente de Mulch rescatado de mi anterior temporada de cultivos, a continuación humedecí todo con agua caliente y miel, lo tapé y lo puse al calor de una manta eléctrica, a los 3 días asomó esta semilla de Thai Fantasy, dos días después otra semilla de Colombia Gold también salía del sustrato, pero 8 días después ninguna de las otras 7 semillas germinó, a la vista de una lupa, todas la semillas estaban podridas y con ácaros similares a los que se ven en el compost, el fracaso ha sido total, la ley de la selva a imperado y solo han sobrevivido las más fuertes, estas dos semillas tendrán las mejores macetas, se las han ganado. Ahora he vuelto a poner las semillas a germinar, pero esta vez sobre servilletas húmedas y calor, y prepararé un sustrato menos caliente para el momento del trasplante... adelante! Espero lo mejor de esta cepa con dominancia sativa, las cepas de Kannabia siempre sorprenden, y mi bodega está a falta de sativas asiáticas, así que a jugar!! ================================ Info de la cepa Thai Fantasy de Kannabia seeds: https://www.kannabia.com/es/semillas-marihuana-feminizadas/thai-fantasy "Nuestros paladares occidentales se abren a nuevas dimensiones cuando nos adentramos en los universos exóticos de Tailandia o Camboya." Kannabia Seeds - Genética: Thai x Black Domina - Sativa 80%, Índica 20% - Tiempo de Floración - 58-65 días - Rendimiento en interior: 500 g/m² - THC: 18,6 % - Sabores: Dulce y terroso ================================

Con 22 dias, pasados 7 de la última poda de hojas y 22 del cambio de fotoperiodo me decidí por hacerles una nueva poda, esta algo más severa . Yemas, hojas y chupópteros de bajos. A partir de entonces solo se irán quitando muy de vez en cuando alguna hoja o algun brote o yema que pueda salir por ahí que no me guste, muy poca cosa. Me deshice de la malla, harto me tenia. La quité para la poda y luego me hizo mucha pereza volver ponerla. Prefiero menos cantidad. Esta semana explosión de tricomas

Bienvenido a la aventura compañero 🛸❄️✨💐 Una semana espectacular para nuestra Do-Si-Dos de @Zammi_official en combinación con la gama gloriosa de @Plagron La ayuda en este diario ha sido de la mano del grower y amigo @noNick123 . Recomendando siempre cosas positivas, gran teoría ✨ Espero que Zamnesia tome en cuenta su participación a pesar del inconveniente ocurrido con el frío, hermano 💪🏽 Subimos la temperatura del agua antes de preparar la dosis, 23 C⁰ con 450 PPM aprox, inicial por riego. Bajamos las dosis considerablemente y llegamos a un ppm de unos 800. Entiendo ahora que significaba cuando @noNick123 recomendó calentar el agua antes de la mezcla... El día jueves 11/1/24 comenzamos a regar solo con agua. Esta planta se ha vuelto una bestia creadora de resina, ahora la mantendremos en este estado y quizás necesite ser alimentada alguna vez más 🤔 tengo ganas de cortarla, pero la dejaremos a a que madure un poco 😌 Los tricomas están 70% lechosos 20% transparentes y 10% ámbar. La lámpara ahora está más alta para no dañar ninguna glándula ❄️👌 Por ahora esto es todo, estoy aprovechando todo esto para ir eligiendo la nueva tanda de semillas a cultivar 🤩 Quiero hacer una extracción con esta próxima cosecha, no guardar tanta materia vegetal en casa. Alguien conoce una manera casera sin mucha inversión?! Oil, dry, bubble hash... NO CHARAS 😁 Un abrazo fuerte para todos y muchos ánimos 💐 siempre hay tiempo para hacerlo mejor, para darle al siguiente paso pisando firme Saludos!
