Cali-Grow

Mr_Green79 Everything went well

Mr_Green79 A bit too long. The lamp was a bit too far away.

Mr_Green79 I was a bit too cautious with the nutrients.. Next time it will be better. It's my first hydro grow after all..

Mr_Green79 Everything is going pretty well so far. I'm going to do a complete defoliation at the beginning of the week. I've now moved the nutrient tank outside because I was constantly having temperature issues.

Mr_Green79 I had some concerns about the heavy defoliation, but they're growing back like crazy..

Mr_Green79 so.. today I sent them into flowering. I lowered the week from 18 hours to 12. I set up my net and had to realize that the squares were way too big.. Luckily there's Amazon.. The next day I had 20 meters of elastic rope and used that to reduce the squares.

Mr_Green79 2nd week of flowering.. One plant is getting quite bushy. I noticed this week that the UV lamp for cleaning the dehumidifier ran for 2 hours in the tent. Since the lamp is on the left side of the device, the left plant got the most exposure.. The 2nd thing is.. the external regulation tank has been regulating 2 hoses to the left for 2 weeks and one hose each to the two on the right.. So in tank 1, the nutrient solution PH- was sometimes given too quickly.. I otherwise spread it out over a few hours to avoid stress..

Mr_Green79 The left plant is shooting up, the two on the right are growing normally.. Had to mount the Sanlight at an angle to ensure consistent light intensity..

Mr_Green79 I change the nutrient tank every 10 days, 45 L. Then I let clear water run through for about an hour and add 20 ml of flush to the clear water... 40 L 20/20 osmosis/tap water. After that, I fill the tanks with the solution brought to temperature and pH value. In the coming hours, the solution rises to a higher pH value. After a few adjustments, I'm back to a value of 5.8.

Mr_Green79 It's slowly starting to smell..

Mr_Green79 It's getting slow. I've lowered the Cal Mag a bit since some leaf tips are turning dark. But it could also be due to the fluctuating pH value since the roots absorb more Cal Mag at 6.0.. But now I've reached the phase where my pH value drops again towards 5.5. So I have to initially lower it with pH - and after 24 hours raise it back towards pH 5.8. Really stressful...

Mr_Green79 Unfortunately, I didn't manage to cut off all the small popcorn buds at the bottom last week, so I got to it this week. Right into the freezer and gave it a good shake.. And I was very surprised.. The taste.. a dream. Delicious orange and lemon. After I watched the clouds out the window for 15 minutes, 😵 I thought to myself... Yeah, I'm totally high.. I was a bit surprised because the girls are only finishing in 13 days... and the buds are rather small and not very resin-coated.. Awesome stuff! 👍 Thanks to Barneys Farm for the super breeding of this strain.

Mr_Green79 Harvest was pretty good. Drying took 3 weeks and the result was top-notch. I couldn't weigh the wet weight. Once dried, it was 256 G and 10 G of hash with a screening of 120 microns. The taste is orange with a bit of skunk. Very intense aroma. The smell during the grow wasn't that strong. I had exhaust on and temperatures between 19-27 degrees. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a fall color. I couldn't get the temperatures below 19 degrees, and even then only for a short time. So, I unfortunately didn't have any purple coloration in the last phase. I flushed for 6 days with water and Canna Flush. The last 3 days, I kept everything dark.
