First day under led lights after receiving the fresh cuttings.
All of them are healthy but unfortunately is the night temperature at the moment a bit to low.
All lights are dimmed; the sunlight leds on the lowest setting and the Cree cobs around 20%.
Output watts for all leds is at the moment 280W.
PAR readings coming up in the next days 💡
Now the PAR readings: 3x3 measurements at plant tip. Front row to the back. Measurements in mmol/m2s with the quantumsensor from apogee.
400,570,400,550,620,610,410,470,410.
Around 500 in average.
Since the plants have good growth rate and a bit of light/water stress I am thinking about make clones of the plants to short them a bit corse my room isn’t to high. What do you think?
the healthier the planat, the easier it is to clone. So if you take cutting from light-stressed areas, it may not be as high of a success rate as expected.
do you want to regrow the plant? you can also just prun some bits off and throw it out. i'd only do this at certain points in time.. if you do this AFTER the bud sites have mostly formed you are basically pruning off waht should be the best buds and severely reducing yield... if you do it early enough in the formation of buds, the plant can adjust properly and probably mostly make up for what is lost. "backbuilding" is a hit or miss technique. I've seen it work okay and i've seen it not have any effect, lol. Even when it worked i probably lost a bit of yield, but the plant at least tried to compensate.
take clones anytime you want.. if slightly stressed and you need to guarantee survivors, take more than you normally would to ensure 1 or more do survive.
if this is 100% about beign too tall, just snap the stems and HST. you weaken a point in stem where it'll bend over 90degrees - with as minimal of damage as possible to accomplish that feat. it may need support the first 24h, but after that you'll probalby need to tie it down to prevent it from slowly trying to go back upright. try to visualize the pattern if you ahve to HST a bunch of colas.. don't want them overlapping each other etc...
The plants like the big pots and the soil.
The roots reach already out and are close to the side of the pots.
The growthrate is not bad for the first week after transplanting. 7-8cm in one week.
I also hade some set backs …
1. my ph/ce measurement device need to be calibrated and I ran out of solutions… lucky i sill got some simple strips to measure in the mean time between.
2. I found some aphids… I took a close look at all plants and removed all I could find. Than I gave them a good rinse with a spay solution with canna cure. Hope I got most of them.
3. light stress or lightburn. To make Shure they doing well I raised up the lights a bit more to 45 cm on the sides and 50 cm in the middle for a even lithe distribution
Plants doing well. Today they did get the 2th spay cure and I could not find any bugs.
The lower nodes of the plants finally staring to grow as well and since the leds are now at 400watts in total the temperature is around 20-22C… these love it
Happy growing take care guys
I raised up the light power now to 550watts in total to get some temperature. Night temps are still to cold but getting better… spring is coming.
In that week I planed to top all the girls to make some cuttings and give the lower branches more light and time. Target is to get a see of green but the cuttings are unfortunately not the bushy type.
I thought the strain is the bushy kind but it looks like my pheno is not.
I will make a update after the cutting Aktion.
Weekend cutting time: I toped all of them. Before the topping the height was 65-70cm after topping it is 40-45cm.
All the cuttings are prepared to be clones and sitting in the propergator. But since I didn’t do it since long time I don’t expect to much. Just for fun and for friends.
Update: just some propergator clone pictures. They all are doing well even the one with big leaves on them…
The plants doing very well.
Since the topping they already filling out all the space again.
I will give them around one more week before i send them into flower.
I am still surprised that my soil coco wormcasting mix still gives them all they need and that I can’t see any nutrient deficiencies at all.
I guess the pot size is the key for it.
The clones not having any roots so far but still doing well. In the next upcoming days they will show up.
Update:
All looks kind of ok but since I water with rainwater the plants look like they missing cal. Mag. …. Coco problem with soft water.
The RH is still too high but I think I really need to get a dehumidifier.
All the cuttings/clones are alive but still don’t have any roots so put down the ph from 6,4 to 5,6 and I also put some root fertiliser into the tank…
I didn’t have time in the last 3 days to take a close look at the plants and unfortunately the little bugs took the time to take over the plants… really sad 😢 what I found today. I thought after last week that the aphids are gone but no I found them on many lower branches. I was using a spray solution with an orange oil but it looks like it didn’t work that well. Should I switch to neem oil or is there something better on the eu market. Let me know… plz
I was planning a huge defoliation that weekend but i used the opportunity to cut most of the lower branches today. I hope that I can still switch to flower this week
Good news are that the clones in the propergator start finally to show some roots
Plants doing well and since I try to regulate the humidity they get thirsty… hope the nutrients are not drying out too much.
I removed the grow tray corse of the size of the plants and i switched to hand watering.
Maybe better I that way I can observe each plant a bit better.
Bad thing… I can’t do runnoff watering … but i think with the 40% regular soil I should be ok.
At the weekend I switch to flowering and pot all the cuttings and move them out of the room.
Ok time to say goodbye to some of them.
The plants taking over all space and I can’t move around anymore inside of the room ^^
It was a mistake to wait for the spay results… I should have switched to flower 3 weeks ago…. But it’s nice to see each time I visit them. Love it
Not really something new. I am still struggling with the height of the plants and the stretch is more than expected from that cultivar… at least what I have read about Mimose orange punch.
I am curious about that phenotype.
Hope the breeder of the cuttings took that phenotype for a good reason ….. lest see what will happening

This week they will get a defoliation and i will get rid of useless lower branches.
Plants doing well, just problems with the temperature and humidity. When I turn on the dehumidifier the temperature is to hi otherwise the rh is to hi ……. Luckily the outside temperature will go soon 5-10c lower then today
All plants doing well. I guess the defoliation was a bit stress for them and they did not that much in the last week… at least I looks a bit like that.
I tried to optimise the vpd a bit better and raised the temperature of the room a bit and I also ramped up the light to max.
I spayed them twice this week with a purolyt solution. Is the first time I use it for mold prevention.
If you got any Tipps let me know
Happy growing and have fun
Plants looking good just some temperature problems.
780watts in that room and the dehumidifier are to much ….
I sill try to figure out what and how to do but it looks like I have to lower my light output…
Please let me know what and how you would do it.
Happy growing and have fun 🤩
Hello and welcome to week 6 in flower.
I am a bit worrying about the buds and the size they have so far. I got the feeling it should be bigger already but I never grow that strain so far…. I hope for the best
The buds in the first row got some brown hears from the air circulation but should be ok.
I raised up the ec a bit to 1400 with some pk.
And finally found the problem with the air dryer. When he sits at the floor he will not get the right rh reading. The sensor placement isn’t good for growing operations. So I placed him 30cm up on a box and I also redirected one fan to blow some air from the top of the room in the Direktion of the dehumidifier and the opening of the sensor…. So much better.
Update: i put in some support fpr the buds... they sart to bend over when i moved the plants. Some Bambo sticks and some string will do the trick😉
Let me know what you guys think about the buds in that stage and the strain.
Sorry for the poor English I try my best.
Happy growing
Everything is looking great 👍
The top buds getting more and more wonderful colours and man they are dense at hell!!!
The overall size of the buds is not the best but in the next 1-2 weeks (maybe 3) I expect that they will get finally fat like a kid in the Hershey’s factory.
I just ordered a better fan which will come in the upcoming days. I hope that will help with the bud rot prevention.
Let’s hope for the best and happy growing
… still waiting for the last swelling up of the buds.
I see everywhere some new white hairs and nice colours popping up slowly inside of the buds and on the lower branches as well…
I hate that moment so much waiting and hoping ^^ but I need patience.
Trim jail. Always bit the same the fist 30-40 top buds are nice to cut and than it start to get boring 😴 ^^
The top buds have a good size and no bud rod at all. One plant was a bit herming and had 3-4 seeds. And unfortunately all lower buds have microseeds …. Not the best strain or cut I had.
3 plants are going to reveg let’s see what will happening.
Ok very disappointed at the end… after drying and curing in the canatrol it totally sucks so far. No smell no terpene rich taste nothing what a downfall … try to figure out what went wrong 😑….
