End of week 4 and all is great! This girl is beefin up to be a monster! Already got a ton of bud on her an their is still 4-6 weeks to go. loving this Hortilux Eye 1000w bulb. Really bringing the A game. Not so bumbed about spending $ 125 on a bulb now...lol haven’t had to really take any foliage off yet with the exception of the growth under the netting I removed at 1 weeks into flowering. I say “hell no” too popcorn fluff! Lol gotta save that energy for the top buds. Going great so far anyway, I made a DIY light bar for my light rail mover out of an old metal bed frame so that was cool. Saved $50 per tent... I ain’t no sucker gonna pay $50 for an aluminum bar with some bolts. Lol gonna hook up my “water coolers soon too since the summer is approaching and my water temps are begging to creep up again. Lol you may have noticed a computer case sitting in the corner of my grow tents in past videos, they are DIY water chillers made from some thermoelectric coolers and a copper cooling coil. Stay tuned to see them operational soon! I will be posting a DIY video on how to build one yourself out of an old desktop computer and a few other parts off Amazon. Cheers 💨

Hi this week I feed her with .5 silica 2ml root juice .5 ml bio grow 150ml each Plant and feed them every 3 days 1 plant I just seen bit yelloing in leaves very tiny so I think maybe light stress 80cm far from 300w led light. So I decide to put he but more far from light for couple days or it can be overwatering coz day 5 i feed them with 150ml water and its alot for tiny pot and tidays day 8 and its 3 days gone soil still wet and i still dindt water them after 3 days maybe feed them tomorrow will update what happen Update day 9 only 1 day after she looks very healthy and happy just little bit smaller than other Day 12 and they ready for repot but I can't due lack off space I need to wait coz other tent use for drying atm but will finish in 3 days so I will repot them day 13 or 15 Update day 13 in evening I repot all 3 orange sherbat I repot them 2 in 10L plastic pot and 1 in 6L pot so this week I'll give them tons off stress after 2 days they recover from transplant I'll top them from 6th node and then keep doing Lst every other day till day 35 i usually do that to have bit longer veg phase and bigger yield off course the way I growing definitely turn to monster even in small pot but bit take more time than what seed bank said Also I buy new grow tent with 1200w hps light and 4inglch rhino fan and filtre my current tent is 1m and only good for 3 medium plant and some my plant get l too big that's why I decided to buy another tent to separate big girl and medium sized girl this run 1 have 7 autoflower with 2 tent 3×3×7 4×4×7 hope no lack off space foe this grow 🙏

well, that day dawned :) growing in a suitcase was really difficult, temperature, humidity, plant growth, everything was very difficult to control, but I managed something, it was an extremely interesting experience :) 119 gr wet, I think it will be between 25-30 gr dry , which I think is really good from the suitcase :) it was something different than usual, and now I'm going to grow another begina, which is much bigger than this one :) good luck to everyone, and thank you.:)

Still some minimal LST. Lots of tops. One plant super purple in color. Other plant still green and no purple at all. Huge difference in the plants though. One is lighter in color, taller, and slimmer. The other is dark green, shorter, and fatter. Both doing amazing. Added 2 new plants in the tent this week. All are loving life!

Helllooo 🌿 schönen Sonntag zusammen =) 🌱 Wochenupdate Eine ziemlich ruhige Woche alles in allem 🙂 Montags habe ich mich entschieden, auf 12/12 zu stellen 🌙✨ Ich hatte eigentlich überlegt, noch eine Woche länger Veg laufen zu lassen, nur wurde mir in den Kommentaren (wofür ich wirklich dankbar bin 🙏) dazu geraten, den Stretch zu respektieren, und das wollte ich dann auch besser mal machen 😄😄 Habe persönlich keinerlei Erfahrung mit den Genetiken, da freut man sich über jeden Tipp 🌱😊 Mittlerweile ist es auch nur noch ein Teppich =D.. Daher ist es mir leider nicht mehr möglich, jede Plant einzeln zu zeigen...Ab der Blüte dann wieder =D 🌿 Pflanzenstatus & Training Aktuell schiebe ich jeden Tag die Triebe, die über das Netz gehen, wieder drunter und lenke sie in die gewünschte Richtung =) Das Ganze mache ich 2-mal am Tag – einmal Pflanzen-Morgen und einmal Abend. Hab immer das Gefühl, dass sich überhaupt nichts tut dadurch 😅 Aber man kann schon einigermaßen erkennen auf den Bildern, dass sie sich langsam Richtung Ränder schieben 📈 Darüber hinaus entferne ich hier und da größere Blätter, die zu viele Triebe beschatten. Die Sides ziehe ich per Hand immer etwas aus der Mitte heraus =) 🔧 System Läuft alles wie gehabt =) Die regelmäßigen Top-Ups halten die Nährstofflösung auf Kurs 💧📊 Dabei lasse ich den EC um etwa 0.10 absinken, bevor ich ihn wieder hochziehe. Ich dosiere die Top-Ups aktuell etwas höher, da sich in den Messdaten ein erhöhter Nährstoffverbrauch abgezeichnet hat, was ja auch zum zeitlichen Entwicklungsstand passt 🌱🔥 Was meinen inneren Monk echt befriedigt, ist, dass es immer dieselben Intervalle mit denselben Werten sind – ich liebe so Shit 😄📏 Von der letzten Shift-Lösung aus arbeite ich aktuell mit Erhaltungs-Top-Ups, die den täglichen Verbrauch ausgleichen und den EC konstant im Zielbereich halten 💧⚖️😊 Theorie hat sich auf jeden Fall bestätigt: Ca/Mg ist durch und es läuft bzw. blubbert wie es soll 🫧🙂 Da ich schon auch ein bisschen lazy bin hier und da 😅, ist nur jede 2. Lösung eine größere Menge (20–30 Liter). Dazwischen gebe ich immer eine konzentrierte 5-Liter-Lösung, um den EC konstant zu halten💧 Ich denke aber auch, dass das so oder so ein guter Ansatz ist, damit die biologische Aktivität im System stabil bleibt und nicht ständig durcheinandergebracht wird =) Licht im Canopy ist nach wie vor 800 PPFD, 1.0 kPa VPD, und mit den zwei CO₂-Bags kommen wir im Durchschnitt auf etwa 700-800 ppm 🌿 🔮 Ausblick Training, Training, Training 💪🌱 Aufbau der Canopy, Füllen der Ränder + selektives Entfernen von größeren Blättern 🍃✂️ Freu mich auf die große Defo, wenn der Stretch durch ist – unterm Netz ist echt ein Urwald 😂🌴 💚 Special Mention Ich bin so froh, hier endlich mal reinschreiben zu können, dass sie sich gut macht 😄💚 Sie hat mir verziehen. Klar, sie ist nicht so groß wie ihre Schwestern, aber sie streckt sich auch Richtung Netz und sieht alles in allem wieder vital aus 🌿💪 – nur eben etwas kleiner. Aber who cares 😄💚 Ich hab so viele graue Haare durch diesen durchwachsenen Keimungsprozess, das permanente Nachhinken, den Krüppelwuchs am Anfang, meine Fehler und ihre Reaktion darauf 😅 …dass ich mir aktuell überlege, 4 davon zu starten 😄🔥 Ich bin mir sicher, dass sie richtig gut performen kann 🌱💥 ✨ Vielen Dank fürs Lesen, euch eine schöne Woche und gesunde Plants 🌿😊💚

Day 51, 4th of November 2020: The 3rd day since the lamp switched to be 12/12. I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plants remain in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... They look good and strech is on the way..... Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;)

8/23 Fed 2 gallons of nutes to the garden. I'm planning to increase feeding to three gallons as plants look hungry. Ice cream cake isn't as vibrant as it once was. Still losing leaves but I find that is consistent with others in my area according to the local growers page. The hurricane missed us but the rain and humidity are still a problem. It's not raining (plants were soaked so it rained last night) and rh is still 100%. It's outdoor so what can I do? What I NEED to do is spray BT and something to combat PM. Plants are flowering nicely. It's good to actually have some flowers to look at. The smell is great too. 8/24 Didn't water as it rained last night. Defoliated what was dead. Fog was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Everything is in flower. The little ice cream cake flowers don't look like they like this rain. I don't blame them. I don't remember the last time it didn't rain at night. I noticed more damage on plants or maybe old damage. Either way bud shoots are gone on a few lower limbs. I can't pull up my bags as the are firmly rooted. I checked under the five gallon buckets (which were also somehow firmly rooted) and found a shit ton of earwigs underneath. I killed what I could. I tried spraying a bug with dawn but it didn't kill it or at least didn't kill it right off. I stomped on them and tore open the earth. Logic dictates they are probably under the grow bags as well. I'm going to try Spinosid tonight. I'll look up some other methods as well. If anybody has advice please hit me up. UPDATE: Went back down at 6. Super sunny and humid today. Temp was 92 with humidity about 90%. I couldn't spray. I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Found four more moth leaves on the sick isolated plant. They must like the injured ones better. 8/25 Watered and defoliated what needed it. Buds are growing rapidly. Took pictures but have been unable to upload due to slow internet connection. Hopefully the weather will allow me to spray tonight. 8/26 Watered heavy as it's been in the 90s. Couldn't spray as it was to hot last night. Buds are tightening up. Ran out of LCPT so I need to find an alternative. Now that plants are flowering it's easier to see the damage from the earwigs. No buds where they should have been on some low branches. Not many and hopefully the few that got lollipoped will focus growth on the top. I hope I'm able to make it down late tonight to work. I was worried about my plants flowering late but that might be a blessing in disguise. I've seen lots of people losing plants to bud rot. Thanks for stopping by and please leave any thoughts or advice in the comments. 8/27 UPPED MY FEEDING REGIMEN TO THREE GALLONS AND USED TWO TBSP TIGER BLOOM IN PLACE OF KOOL BLOOM AND USED A WHOLE TBSP KELP FOR THE HEAT. This heat is killing me. Yesterday was over 95f with rh in the 90s. My medication makes the heat harder to bare. Defoliated what needed it. I'm in town looking for a fungicide. Planned to use apple cider vinegar this morning but of course I couldn't find it. Buds still rapidly forming. I'll update later. I picked up potassium bicarbonate and citric acid and have the recipe and ingredients for both diy green cleaner and green cure. Once the sun starts going down I'm going to use the potassium bicarbonate recipe. Bought a bunch of potassium bicarbonate and citric acid. I am now able to make diy versions of both green and green cleaner. I mixed 1tbsp potassium bicarbonate with 1/4 teaspoon dawn and sprayed two gallons on the plants last night. Leaves were yellowing more and traveling upward on the blueberry. Bleeding like nitrogen deficiency. I'll monitor. If plants don't improve I'll need to do a flush and an application of Spinosid. Wanted to take pics but the phone died. 8/28 Thoroughly watered today. I also had to defoliate a ton of yellow leaves on my blueberry's. I'm hoping it's not nutrient lockout. I still have three issues that could be my problem 1) the WPM 2) PISSIBLY ph fluctuation or worse w lockout and 3) earwig or inch 🐛/ moth larvae causing damage. I'm coming out of my funk so hopefully I can fix these issues. Smell is amazing and the buds are really starting to develop. They looked bigger in the evening than they did in the morning. It was over 90° f yesterday and I woke up to 50 this morning. I'm sure these big temp swings don't help much. 8/30 Rained last night but I watered slightly as there wasn't much rain. ADDED TWO MORE I.R. CAMERA'S last night. I feel more secure as the area is also protected with motion sensors and a whole bunch of other stuff I'm not going to mention. Anything bigger than a porcupine and things get bright and loud and signals get sent, roads blocked ECT. Not my first rodeo deep in the Maine woods. The grow will not be left alone and hadn't been for a few weeks. Anyway I lifted a 5 gallon bucket and found more earwigs. It jives with some of the damage I've been seeing. I'm thinking of spraying spinosid instead of BT tonight. At least the buds are starting to fill in. They don't seem to bother those as much. They did bite off a bunch of grow shoots though. Either way I have a few issues to deal with. As long as the weather stays alright until October I should be fine. My ice cream cake is barely flowering and it's HUGE. I have another seed that's in a similar state. Others are further along. We shall see how things go. The little ones could be transported inside at night if necessary.

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well and safe! I've numbered the photos by date to see the progress a little better, I have both my Spider Farmer and now I've the special queen photo period under its own light, now a mars hydro given to me by a friend :) Decided to get the scrog net up last night, first time using one so I'm looking forward to see how I get on. I've decided to come away from biobizz and move across to the remo range so I just gave the plants two litres of water on Monday. They've dried out rightly. I have an air line going into the bucket and making a tea! I can see slight frost on some of the leaves and the stems which is cool. All suggestions/tips welcome! Stay Frosty Bazza ✌️🏼

Second week of flowering in the bag, and they’re all looking really healthy, even healthier than when I first threw them in the flower steady as she goes

Week 5 begins for LSD and Green Crack! The LSD ladies had the most yellowing over the last week, yet they have the most frost on the buds. The Green Crack ladies had a little bit of yellowing and has bigger buds, but no frost at this time. They all seem very happy in their new 4x8 home. Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next week for another episode of growfessor theatre. 👽🌳💚

A really explosive week of growth. I pushed PPFD up to 310umols. Dimmers are at 60% which is drawing 224w plus 18w of DRRB. I have alos started Emerson effect ... Another The Emerson effect is triggered by the simultaneous exposure of plants to light in the deep red and far-red spectra Deep Red 660 nm /Far-Red 700 nm . A bit of boring science that explains why you need both far red and deep red in order to trigger Emerson. The effect occurs because photosynthesis is driven by two distinct pigment systems working in series:Photosystem II (PSII): Absorbs energy most efficiently at shorter wavelengths (higher frequencies), like 680 nm (441 THz). Photosystem I (PSI): Absorbs energy most efficiently at longer wavelengths (lower frequencies), specifically 700 nm (428 THz). When you provide only the higher frequency (deep red), PSI becomes a bottleneck. When you provide only the lower frequency (far-red), PSII is not sufficiently excited to provide electrons. Providing both frequencies simultaneously allows both systems to work at peak efficiency, resulting in a rate of photosynthesis that is greater than the sum of the two lights used individually. To understand the Emerson Effect, think of photosynthesis not as a single engine, but as a two-stage assembly line. What is the Emerson Effect? Discovered by Robert Emerson in 1957, this phenomenon shows that plants perform photosynthesis much more efficiently when they are hit by two specific types of light at the same time: Deep Red (660 nm) and Far-Red (700+ nm). If you give a plant only Far-Red light, photosynthesis is very slow. If you give it only Deep Red, it's better but still limited. However, when you give it both at once, the total rate of photosynthesis is significantly higher than if you just added the two results together (1+1=3). What is Happening? (The "Assembly Line") Inside the plant's chloroplasts, there are two "workstations" called Photosystem II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI). They work in series, meaning the first one must pass "parts" to the second one. PSII (The First Station): This station is tuned to catch Deep Red light (660 nm). It harvests electrons from water. PSI (The Second Station): This station is tuned to catch Far-Red light (700 nm). It takes the electrons from the first station and uses them to create energy (ATP and NADPH). The Problem: If you only provide Deep Red light, the first station works fast, but the second station can't keep up because it isn't being "powered" efficiently by that specific frequency. This creates a traffic jam of electrons. The Solution: By adding Far-Red light, you power up the second station. It now "pulls" the electrons from the first station much faster, clearing the traffic jam and making the whole assembly line run at full speed. The Benefits for The Grow.. Because i am using the Biotabs water-only method, my plants already have a steady supply of organic nutrients. Implementing the Emerson Effect offers several distinct advantages: Increased Biomass: Because the "engine" is running faster, the plant produces more sugars and carbohydrates, leading to heavier fruits or flowers. Faster Finishing: Plants often reach maturity sooner because they have more surplus energy to complete their life cycle. Better Light Penetration: Far-Red light is very good at passing through the upper leaves. This "wakes up" the lower parts of the plant that would otherwise be shaded, allowing the whole plant to contribute to growth. Enhanced Secondary Metabolites: In many crops, this synergistic light can stimulate the production of terpenes and antioxidants, improving the "quality" (smell, taste, and potency) of the final harvest. The "Sunrise/Sunset" Trick I am using 4x Invisible sun Far red/Deep red bars,they use high-quality Samsung LH351H (660nm Deep Red) and specific Far-Red (730nm) diodes for 10–15 minutes at the start or end of the light cycle. This mimics the natural shift in light at sunrise and sunset, "waking up" the photosystems or signaling the plant to go into "sleep mode" faster, which can further optimize the flowering cycle. Enviromentally i am chasing a VPD of about 1,1kpa. My room seem to sit nicely at lights on at 24c with no real drama and a little help from a 220W greenhouse bar radiator. Its using abot 4kw/h a day atm because my room is attached to the side of my house and its been -5c.. I have had to add some humidity as its also very dry atm. Im aiming for RH of 65% with my 24c but it is more around the 62s.. VPD is crucial and is the focus for this grow for me. The autopots and Biotabs make it so easy ican really just focus on perfect enviroment. A VPD of 1.0–1.2 kPa provides enough "atmospheric pull" to move calcium and magnesium up from the roots, which is critical for the rapid cell division happening now.. Plants will be flipped on Saturday which is their week 5 as im a bit behind.. As this happens i will push PPFD upto 4-500umols. by week 2 of flower. Thats the plan anyway..

I will be growing her again, as I feel like I let her down, by letting her PH drift so low.. Other than that, she grew beautifully, and fumes of potency as you gaze at her! She yielded more than I expected! She's not that far below my previously lowest yielding plant! :)

Low low low humidity is causing the plants to grow slowly, albeit healthily. Nothing to report other than friends dont let friends smoke CBD

Started indoor grow in my 4x4 tent with two 600w burple leds. ETHOS genetics seeds, Grape Punch 80/20 Ind dom, Grape Bubba 40/60 Sat.dom, Banana Daddy 50/50, Tropicana Cookies 70/30 ind dom. I am also doing an experiment with this grow. I always get powdery mildew in every grow I’ve done so far, whether indoor or outdoors. I am putting two cap fulls (around two teaspoons) to EVERY gallon of water I give the girls.
