Summer Grow '22

BodhiBuds All 5 seeds have germinated. So, I had the pleasant dilemma of choice. I gave the remaining seedlings to a friend. For the medium, I chose 80% BioBizz All-Mix and 20% BioBizz Worm Humus. I put it all in 20L Air-Pots. I hope for stable summer weather. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 22.06. - Day 6 since the seedlings went into the medium. - The Auto Blackberry Kush is currently struggling the most to grow taller. - The Auto Euforia and the Blue Auto Mazar are about even. - Aside from one liter mixed with a bit of BioBizz Root Juice, the plants have not been watered further.

BodhiBuds 24.06.2022: Since the first watering, there has been no more watering. The pots are still quite heavy. The water retention of the BioBizz soil is really amazing! Growth is progressing slowly but surely: - The Blue Auto Mazar and the Blackberry Kush are both at about 3.5 cm. - The Auto Euforia has already reached 5 cm. I've never noticed this in previous grows... Check out the Euforia. It's developing three shoots per node. The others - and that's how I generally know it - have two shoots per node. Is that normal? -- It has since been clarified that it is a mutation, which occurs quite frequently in autos. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 27.06.2022: - Temperatures over the last few days have been around 22-25 degrees. - Finally, it was time to water again. Each pot received 4 liters of water, along with a BioBizz "full course" (2ml/L Acti-Vera, Bio-Heaven, Fish-Mix, and Bio-Grow). - pH value was at 6.1. - No new pictures. I want to update again only when there has been more growth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 29.06.2022: - The ladies have made a little jump in growth. The Euforia is still leading the list at about 11 cm tall. The Blue Mazar and the Blackberry Kush follow at about 10 cm. - No fertilizing/watering was currently on the agenda. - Pictures have been updated.

BodhiBuds 04.07.2022: - By now, the Blackberry Kush has taken the lead in terms of growth. At 16cm, it's the tallest plant. The Blue Mazar and Euforia are close behind at around 15cm. - The node spacing seems normal. - The weather is great at the moment! - A minimal scent is already noticeable with the Euforia. Blue Mazar and Blackberry Kush are still neutral. - The 20l pots still hold enough water / are quite heavy. I haven't watered or fertilized in a week. - This is my first time with such large pots. With my 10l pots, I was already watering every third day by this point. - I won't be doing any LST. They should just grow as God intended.

BodhiBuds 07.07.2022: Finally, it was time to water again. 4L per 20L pot should last for a few days. You can find all the nutrient data above. At the same time, I had a chance to take my old Canon 7D out of the closet and try out my new Sigma 105mm macro lens. 😃 The girls are all about 25 cm tall and are doing really well. The weather has been a bit dull in the last few days. Not bad, but overcast and rather cool. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11.07.2022: - Added the weather data for the week. It’s supposed to head towards the 40° Celsius mark. It should be completely cloudless. I hope the plants get through this time well. - The ladies are slowly starting to develop a nice scent. Oh, lovely! 😎

BodhiBuds 14.07.2022: Except for yesterday, the temperatures weren't that high after all. Haven't watered in about a week. So, no fertilizing either. The pots are still quite heavy. Looks like the Auto Euforia is going into flowering. 😀 It's interesting how the different strains show such different growth patterns. Sometimes the Euforia is ahead, sometimes the Blackberry Kush. Currently, it looks like this: Auto Euforia 47cm, Auto Blackberry Kush 42cm, Blue Auto Mazar 35cm. Visually, I like the growth of the Blue Mazar the most. It's the most symmetrical of the three. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18.07.2022: The Euforia and the Blackberry Kush have gone into flowering. Yay! 😍 It looks like the Blue Mazar will need a few more days to a week. I'm curious to see when. Pictures to follow. The Blackberry Kush is already developing dark buds. The plants were also watered and fertilized today. Since I've decided to combine several strains in one diary, it's now a bit difficult to make individual notes. I've updated the weather data. It's going to be really hot in the next few days. 😎 ...I don't know if we really need 40° Celsius, but thankfully I have air conditioning.

BodhiBuds All three plants have now entered the flowering stage. Current plant sizes: Blackberry Kush 69cm, Euforia 63cm, and Blue Mazar 60cm. They're starting to get really thirsty. I watered for the second time this week. However, I haven't fertilized lately, just added pure water with a pH of 6.2. The hot days are over for now until Monday. The girls have handled the temperatures well. I removed some yellow leaves and stopped the growth that just consumes energy but doesn't produce any usable buds. Nothing drastic. Especially in the morning, the scent of the plants is very intense. However, it fades a bit in the afternoon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 07/26/2022 Update: By now, I have to water every three days. Today I also checked the feeding schedule again. The ladies are quite hungry. The temperatures have been pretty moderate this week. Pictures will come on Thursday or Friday. Let's see how stressful the rest of the week will be...

BodhiBuds I'm a bit late with the update this week. Quite busy... I fertilized again according to the feeding schedule and added a bit of soil on top. The plants are starting to smell a bit more during the day as well. Overall, though, not massively yet. The Blackberry Kush looks really great. I've never grown strains that change color so drastically in the flowering stage. They're a deep black. The bud growth also looks very nice. All three plants have grown. By now, the Auto Blue Mazar is the biggest of the three ladies, about 75cm. The Blackberry Kush is just behind at 73cm, and the Euforia is around 70cm. The temperatures are currently very moderate. In the last 2-3 days, it's even been quite overcast and rainy.
