20-Nov 2nd pair of Grow-Leaves already visible. 23-Nov watered today and added first time 3ml/l Biobizz Root Juice to the water.

27-November All looks ok. Seems that they are a little bit slow with their grow. 2nd stage of leaves are fully formed(3 Fingers) 3rd stage of the grow leaves already good visible (with 5 Fingers) 29- November - update Watering is not necessary so far. The bottom of the pot is still damp - checked with an wooden stick (see photos) This is a good way, to check if the bottom of the pot is still moist and the roots are able to find any water, it's good for roots-growing 1-Dec - update Watered yesterday. Today the tips are hanging down a bit. Too much water! I'll hold back a bit on watering. Otherwise everything ok.

4-Dec Pre-bloom has begun! (Photos). Watered well again today, with 0.75 l and 1 ml root juice. Everything looks good. Did my first LST training today and tied the plant down a bit. I'll re-tie it tomorrow or the day after. 6-Dec - update did adjust a few small branches with LST Training today 8-Dec - update The plant looks very dark green. Looks like a nitrogen toxicity. As i did give only little amount of Root juice in the last days, it cannot be because of too much nitrogen fertilizer.. Must be that the waterung was too low. Watered well today with 1 lt water and and gave 1 ml Root Juice and 1 ml Grow-nutrient. Watered till a small drain came out from the bottom of the pot. As in organic-soil it needs 5-10 days till the fertilizers are active in soil, i hope that the amount of fertilizers is not too much yet. Please correct me if i am wrong. 🙏 Think that the plant will start with bloom in the next 7-10 days.

11-Dec Watered today with 2ml Root, 1ml Grow, 1ml Bloom and 1ml Top Max. Watering quantity: 1 liter of water. Everything looks good. Bloom has begun! Light switched on to stage 3 for flowering. Status is now changed to bloom.😀 There are no yellow or light green leaves yet. Maybe it was a good thing that everything was deep green. Did again a little bit LST Training today. But now i will do a break with LSSt for the next 2 weeks. Than the last LST. Don't want to stress too much the plant. 15-Dec - update We are in bloom and the plant needs double amount of water. She needs 1lt/24 hrs now. As the leaves around the buds become a light green, i gave more nutrients now and will give the Biobizz- schema from now. Light and heat stress - which could the the same symptoms, i exlude this, because also the lower buds with only little light have also the same symptoms. The LED-panel is more than 40cm away from the top of the plant, and at the top of the plant i have approx. 22-24 C degrees. So i watered well today with 1 lt water incl. 2ml Grow, 1ml Bloom and 1 ml TopMax - fertilizers. 17-Dec - update some leaves are hanging down. Think it can be underwatering, because the pot was completely dried, before i watered. After i gave enough water with nutrients, some hours after that, the leaves got more hang down. Then i spotted also a few leaves with claws. Seems that it is a sign for nitrogen-toxicity? I will degrease the grow-fertilizer with next watering. Biobizz-Scheme says 3 ml BioGrow in 2nd week of bloom. So could be, that my soil has already stored enough nitrogen. Therefore I will increase the Bloom-fertilizer to 2-3ml with next watering.

18-Dec Plant has a few symtoms of nitrogen-toxicity. Over- or underwatering is not possible, because the leaves were hanging, than i gave water with nutrients, and after a few hours the leaves were hanging much more than before. As i gave 3ml Grow-fertilizer into 1 lt water (as recommended in the Biobizz-Scheme for bloom-week 2), it seems that the plant receives too much nitrogen. I always had deep green leaves from the beginning, so the nitrogen was always a little bit too much. Could be because i gave Root Juice too. However - as the plant is full.in bloom, i will give more bloom and less grow - fertilizers. The plant needs water now all 36 - 48 hours. The amount of water in this period is approx. 0.75 to 1 lt. Around the buds the new leaves are light green and tend to yellowing, but i am not very scary, because in overall the plant looks good for me. I hope the yellowing will disappear, if i will increase the amount of bloom-fertilizer. 19-Dec - update Poured today. Everything looks good. Drooping leaves are frowned upon. The light green around the buds is also a little less. Some defoliation (photo) done. Small popcorn buds and small lower leaves snapped off in the shade. Dried leaves removed from the very bottom. 21-Dec - update Happy Winter Solstice!😀 🌞☀️✨🌟🌎 Poured again today. Plant needs 1,5 lt every 48 hrs. Added Bloom-Fertilizers only. No Grow-Fertilizer, because the plant looks like, that nitrogen is enough (deep green leaves, some claws). The plant has always hanging leaves after watering, this disappears after 1 day. Don't know why the leaves are hanging after she gets water. Cannot be overwatering, because i always wait, till the pot gets a very light weight, before i give water again. No matter, after 1 day the hanging leaves disappear, and the plant looks good and the buds are growing well. 👍😀

26-Dec Merry Christmas! 😀🌟🎄🎋 The plant recovered from its suspended state yesterday evening. She was hanging completely, because i dried her out. Did this, because always the plant was hanging after watering. But therefore a few yellow and burned leaves appear now at the bottom, looks like several problems that I still have to analyze. (see photos). It looks partly like a overdose to me, but partly like a deficiencies. No matter, the few yellow leaves don't worry me yet, as with previous grows I had much more problems, and the outcome at the end was always very good. Actually, the last LST and defoliation was planned for today. I won't do it now. LST is not more necessary, and defoliation may be too stressful now. I'd rather leave it alone. Had in the past very good results even without defoliation. The first trichomes are already visible. 😀 Analyses update: the brown and grey patches in the lower leaves could be problems made of ph-fluctuations. I had little problems with ph with the last waterings, there was one time 6.2, the other time 7.1. Will pay more attention to ph-level now. Analyses made with help from https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/ph-fluctuations 29-Dec - update I have the feeling that yesterday's flush did the plant some good. Some leaves are still turning slightly yellow, but that doesn't worry me too much. Overall it looks good and the buds are developing well. Trichomes are already being produced in abundance. I'm optimistic that it will be a good grow. I will now fertilize strictly according to the schedule. I will also add CalMag once a week. I think that the yellow leaves all have a deficiency - since I only fertilized very sparingly, I rule out over-fertilization.

2-January 2024 - 😀HAPPY NEW YEAR! 😀 Watered with 2 lt water and fertilizer according to the scheme. Yellow and burnt leaves removed (below). LST was partially readjusted, but I was able to remove most of the binding wires. All in all the buds are developing well. I'm very confident, but you shouldn't praise the day before the evening😉 The bottom-leaves are yellowing and partially burned. For me it looks like an Nitrogen-deficiency. The first nutrients I added were in vegetation-week 3, and then i gave the half amount only of the recommended scheme. So i cannot imagine, that i have an overdose. Otherwise the leaves at the top are showing signs of nutrient-overdose (little bit yellowing, burned edges and partially clawing leaves). But this can also be light-stress. So i now increased the distance of the light from 40cm to 50cm. 5-Jan - update Poured today 2 liters of water with the following nutrients: 2 ml CalMag 3 ml Grow 3 ml Bloom 1 ml Top Max A few brown leaves cut off at the bottom. Some leaves below are yellow and partially burned. But as long as there is still some green to be seen in the leaves, I leave them on - the plant can draw on the missing nutrients. Otherwise everything looks good, the buds are developing well. 6-Jan - update Checked the trychomes today. Most of theme are already milky (approx. 90 %). I also spotted a few amber trychomes. Think harvest will be in 3-4 weeks - as this was also the plan. All looks fine 😀👍

8-January After signs of fertilizer overdose became visible on the upper leaves, I flushed the plant today with pure water and pH 6.5. Finally watered with a light fertilizer solution: 1ml grow 1ml Bloom 0.5ml Top Max. Some yellow leaves removed from below. The problem with the overdose signs may have arisen because I previously used fertilizer too sparingly, then deficit signs appeared, then I fertilized with the full dose according to the schedule. But autoflowers only need half of the amount of fertilizer according to the schedule. Hope the flush helps a bit. Drain ph was 6.5, Ec 1.3. But I'm not too worried because the plant generally looks good and the buds are developing well. I plan to harvest at the beginning of February. Trichomes check: 80-90% already milky. Individual brown trichomes already spotted. The stretch has largely disappeared, but the buds look good and the smell is also very good 😀 I am very confident that the result will be very good. 11-Jan - update Watered today with 1 lt Water and a light nutrient-solution. Since the last flush it seems as if they have recovered somewhat from the signs of fertilizer-overdose. Still looks good.😀

15-Jan Think i will have 2 weeks until harvest. All leafs turning to yellow, on the buds the little sugar-leafs have burned edges and turn to yellow from outside to inside of the leaf. The signs are showing nutrient overdose, but i only use 30% of the schedule plan. ph is also ok, it was always between 6.4 and 6.8. 10 days ago i flushed, and the drain had ph 6.5. Lightburn is also impossible, the distance to the lamp is 50 cm. Recommended distance from the light-producer is 40 cm. So i am a little bit confused, what the signs showing to me. Maybe it's, because already harvest is in sight. Never mind, i always had some problems with my past grows, and always i had an good yield at the end, but without these problems it could have a little bit better yield, i think. Most trychomes are milky, i think i have 90%. Amber trychomes maybe 1 % 19-Jan - update Leafs are getting more and more yellow now, but the buds are fatening. Plant is viewing into her harvest and end. I have stopped giving any nutrients now and i will pour with clear and ph water only from now. Think i will start end of next week with a first flush. Want to flush the plant 2 or 3 times. Harvesting is planned with beginning of february.

23-Jan Poured 1 liter of water with pH 6.5 today. There is no more fertilizer. Burnt and completely yellow leaves removed. Buds look good. Brown trichomes haven't become much more. But most of it is milky. Plan for harvest at the beginning of February remains. End of this week i will start with the first flush. 26-Jan - update Made first Flush today with 2 x 5 lt ph-ed water Measurements: 1st lap with 5 lt water water ph 6.7 Drain 6.75 ph, 0.4 ec 2nd lap with 5 lt water water ph 6.7 Drain 6.8 ph, 0.2 Will flush again in 3 days or so. Trichomes are 90 % milky, Pistils nearly all brown. Removed some yellow and crispy leafs and tips. Harvest is planned in 1 week. Changed the daylight from 18 to 16 hours. So i have a cycle of 16/8 from now. Autoflowers usually don't need this, but i think, it's no mistake, to simulate for the plant, that fall is coming 😉. Will try a Testbud today😀 27-Jan - update, Testbud Review very potential! 👍😀 The testbud was cut off from an lower branch, which was mostly in the shade. Under the microscope the testbud shows approx. 60% milky trichomes, the other 40% were clear, and i saw 5-6 amber trichomes. But the effect was great! Very relaxing, little head high, but mostly body high, makes very hungry, relaxing brain, very relaxing body (couch-lock isn't far away😉), no pain anymore, very good but dreamless sleep. For me it is very strong, and i can vape for an 2nd evening with 1 fuel in my vaporizer. So in summary: nothing is in the way for harvesting this plant!😀 Will do 1-2 flushes more, and with end of next week i will cut her down.

29-Jan Pot is still heavy, I won't flush it until tomorrow. Plants almost no longer need water and are dying. Almost all leaves yellow and wilted. She looks really f... up. 😉 Trichomes looking good, almost milky, some already amber. I have reduced the daylight from 18 to 16 hrs. In my opinion, the plant maybe could feel the sign that fall is coming soon and maybe she tries to produce a little bit more. I'll do a proper flush tomorrow, it will probably be the last flush. On Thursday I will turn the light off and give her for 36-48 hours darkness, than i will cut her off. Last week has begun! 30-Jan - update Did 2nd flush today with 2x5lt water. This was the last flush, the plant is completely ready for harvest. Trichome check: there are now more and more amber trichomes, this is happening quickly. Estimate around 10-15% amber trichomes on main bud and top buds. The lower ones only have a few brown trichomes, but everything is mostly milky (90%). Maybe I'll cut it off 1-2 days earlier as planned, we'll see. Think i will switch the light off in 2 days and then cut it off on Friday. 1st Flush with 5 lt water: Water: pH 6.7 Drain pH 6.7, EC 0.2 2nd Flush with 5 lt Water pH 6.6 Drain ph 6.9, EC below 0.2 Calculation and forecast for the yield: The buds are not so big and not so many, because i had any problems during the grow. The plant did never stretch, and she is very small. So i'm calculating with approx. 30 g dry buds. This means it will ce approx. 150 g wet buds. For me this will be enough. I'm a microdoser and I don't need too much, I only need 1g per month 😀

10-Feb Cut off the plant at Feb-2nd - 1 week ago. Wet weight with branches was 201 g. After an wet trim I dried the buds for 7 days in approx. 53 % humidity and 14-15 degrees Celsius. This was the climate in my box, where the buds were hanging for drying. Yesterday - 9th-Feb, I clipped off the buds from the branches. They are already nice and crispy on the outside and hopefully still moist enough on the inside for an successfull curing-process. Buds are very fluffy, so now i have the outcome of the problems i ever had, during the stage of bloom. But I'm not worry, i'm very satisfied with my yield, which i did'nt expect 😀. ==≠========================= Weight without branches and dried: 47,30 g 👍 =========≠================== After curing it will be a little less and I estimate 45 g 😀 That's more than I have expected - I expected an maximum of 40 g! 👍😀 I made 3 jars full 😀😀😀 That's enough for me and for the next 3 years!😀 As an vaping microdoser 😉😂 And do not forget: with the trim, branches, sugarleaves aso... i will make pollen (shaking) - hash, and i'm expecting approx. 1-1,5 g pressed coin. So my conclusio is ( as always): don't be worry - if I have some yellow leaves, overdose, underdose of nutrients, or the plant doesn't looking with healthy green, aso....the plant didn't look very good (blooming week 6 or so), because of any faults I did. In all of my grows i have always big problems. But at the end, the yield was always okay - maybe because i'm a microdoser and do not need very much... Hemp is one of the strongest plant on this planet! it's very hard, to kill her. If I get an yield, that's satisfying me, then all problems during the grow will be forgotten again and I will very enjoy my own homegrown!😀😉🤗👍🤞🙏 That's all for the moment. I will update, if something new will happen, but for the first time i say Good Bye and I say "Many Thanks" who has read my entries, and many thanks to the comunity at Growdiaries for the help, for all who have commented and for all the thumb-ups and Likes!🙏🤞👍❤️😀🤗. Last update - 3-May-2024 Curing process stopped today, i packed in all in mylar-bags - 10 g each - and this is my storage. With 43.5 g yield with Girl Scout Cookies - i am very satisfied, it was a grow under strange circumstances (TI!) and i did not await this amount. 😀 I'm happy and with 43 g Girl Scout Cookies i have material against my pains for the next few years😀👍 Thanks very much for following, likes, and for reading my diary! 👍 See/Read You !😉
