Der erste Grow seit 15 Jahren. Endlich legal😁. Euphoria von RQS

El_Barto On day 9 after I planted the seeds, they have grown into 3 beautiful seedlings :D. Nice to have the new freedom xD

El_Barto The ladies are slowly picking up speed with their growth, you can practically watch it happen :D It's incredible how fast the weed grows. Right now, I'm only watering with tap water, which I adjust to pH 6.4 with vinegar essence, and once a week I give them the Root Complex from Hesi. I think I'll wait another 2 weeks, unless the plants say otherwise, before I start fertilizing since the Allmix is well pre-fertilized as far as I've researched. I've also raised the light a bit to approximately 350 ppfd +/- as determined by the Photone app (not sure how accurate that is 😅😂). The Lucilu Shuttle 6 is now running at about 25% power. Sometime in the next few days, the growth and bloom modules that I treated myself to will arrive, let's see how that goes (you have to treat yourself sometimes 😂). Today on day 16, heads have rolled... First topping, let's see if I can do it the way I envision.... Little update: Today the booster modules for my lamp arrived and of course, they were put into operation right away 😎. I also believe the little plants handled the topping well.

El_Barto Week 3 is underway and will soon be over, so here’s the update. The plants are growing and thriving to my satisfaction. They look very healthy in my eyes (if anyone sees otherwise, please let me know :D I'm grateful for any advice) I've started with LST. Unfortunately, one of the ladies has a side branch that hasn't grown as I had hoped. It's quite a bit smaller than the other one. Let's see how that develops. Otherwise, I'm very happy and satisfied with my little plants. The cat is too... xD

El_Barto So week 4 is almost over... quick update Plants are being trained diligently, I'm removing larger shade leaves in favor of the side branches. I might have overdone it a bit with one plant, I noticed slight brown tips on new leaves... could that be from stress? Or maybe more from the nutrients? I lightly fertilized this week, a quarter of the schedule, since the soil should still have some nutrients... I'll keep an eye on it. Otherwise, everything is going pretty well so far, I hope I can start flowering in about 2 to 3 weeks. We'll see... Happy Pentecost :D Happy growing

El_Barto Week 5 is almost over again :D This week I just made sure that all the shoots are roughly at the same height. I'm letting them grow up to about 40 cm, then I'll initiate the flowering. Today I removed some leaves and a few shoots that were hanging down in the soil. I don't want to stress them too much now, don't want them to hermie on me... 😅 I water about every 4 days with 1 liter per plant on average. I gave the rest of the mixed weak nutrient solution... we'll see... one of the leaves already has some new brown spots... but just one... I'll stick to the plan and just give water now; I think a deficiency is less bad than too much... something good will come out of this 😅. So long. Happy Growing!

El_Barto 6 weeks of veg is going the first signs of deficiency are showing up. I immediately countered and administered nutrients according to the feeding schedule. The little ones thanked me with a nice growth spurt, a day later or so I removed the wilted and discolored leaves. What I've also noticed is that the plants are showing their sex... kind of like pre-flowering, and that's even though I'm giving 18 hours of light. I read somewhere that it can also happen due to nutrient deficiency... if anyone knows more details, feel free to share the info!

El_Barto Week 7 This week was eventful... xD First, I made the ladies look nice for the upcoming flowering.... (I think they call that lollipopping today xD) Then, for some reason, the thought came to me that the ladies need more space.... So I went out and got bigger pots and some soil... (wasn't sure if the remaining Allmix would be enough... but it was 😅 ) Then I put the ladies in their now really 😂 final pots (14 liters and finally square too)! From all appearances, they seem to have handled it well.💪 Now they have a good week of vacation, then I’ll switch to 12/12, whether they are 40 cm or not doesn’t matter to me, it's getting too close to vacation otherwise 😉 Keep your spirits up Cheers

El_Barto They are growing and thriving great. I finished the lollipopping this week. I didn't want to remove everything at once, so I decided to do it in two rounds and I've already put one of the support nets in. Fungus gnats have suddenly increased... no idea where they came from... I'll try neem oil and a few more yellow sticky traps. Today I switched to 12/12 😅 I'm excited 😎

El_Barto The new week started off with a little mishap.. I wanted to lower a branch a bit and apparently wasn't careful enough.. result: main stem ripped 😱.. Immediately treated... stem tied together and fixed with wire.. annoying but it will heal again. I don't see any negative effects so far. Other than that, everything is good. The sundew is diligently munching on the dwindling fungus gnats left by the neem oil, and the little plants seem to be doing well as far as I can see. The stretch has been kept in check so far. I'm pretty satisfied. It's like riding a bike.. you might get a bit rusty, but you don't completely forget how to do it 😅

El_Barto 2nd week of flowering is underway. I'm struggling a bit with the temperatures and humidity. Maybe I should have lit them during the night hours, oh well, it is what it is, we'll make the best of it, it'll turn out fine.

El_Barto Flowering week 3 is underway.. I’ve done a bit of defoliation and removed a few branches that had no chance of getting any light. Otherwise, everything is in the green zone 👌 Temperatures are a bit high at times...

El_Barto Flower week 4 is coming to an end. I adjusted the intake and exhaust a bit because of the quite high temperatures; let's see if the tent gets better airflow this way. So far, it seems to be working, but the weather hasn't been as hot the last few days. Otherwise, there's a good amount of buds; they just need to get thick and plump now 🙏😄

El_Barto Sooo dear Grow community, quick update! Flowering week 5 is still ongoing and the girls seem to be doing quite well as far as I can tell. The buds are looking nice and thick, just the way I like it! 😎😊 This week I went with full nutrient schedule, and in between, I’ve been giving them just water. (about 3 liters per plant every 2 to 3 days, they’re thirsty right now) When you open the tent, you get a wonderful smell in the room in no time at all 😳😋 and what's also quite funny is that one plant is getting white bud tips. I hadn't seen that before and I was a bit "worried" at first... But apparently, it happens and it's not necessarily a bad thing 😁 I'm curious to see how it goes 😃 That's it from me for now, Happy Growing everyone!

El_Barto 6 weeks of flowering are going... the autumn colors are slowly starting to show... leaves are beginning to change color. I think I’ll fertilize for another week (so 2 more times) and then just give water. Should be enough.... So far, I have nothing to complain about, I think I made a good choice with the Euphoria, 😀

El_Barto Tag 109 since germination. I recently discovered 4 or 5 bananas on one plant 😱 so I immediately removed them. Further searches have not yielded any more finds; we'll see if anything has been pollinated already 😅. Nevertheless, I am still very satisfied with the Euphoria; it could have been worse... I did stress her quite a bit at the beginning ^^ Today was the last time I gave nutrients. From now on, just water until harvest, which should be in about 1 to 2 weeks, I think.

El_Barto Soooo, week 8 is coming to an end and my ladies are pretty much at the end of their lives 😈. Since last Saturday, I've been giving them more clear water. The last drain I measured the day before yesterday had about 200 ppm more than the tap water. I think that works out fine if I give them water 1 or 2 more times now. The trichomes are, as far as I can tell, mostly milky and some are already amber-colored. I don't think I'll let them stand much longer; I want an uplifting high (Euphoria😍) and not necessarily a couchlock. Tuesday or so... we'll see how I find the time 😎. Until then, happy growing everyone!

El_Barto Harvested today 😎 after almost 9 weeks of flowering. On the scale, the whole plant, all three together weigh around 900 grams, I'm satisfied. 😎 Now begins the tough time of drying... but I couldn't resist and threw 3 small buds in the dehydrator 😅 hopefully, I can test them this evening. 😋 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good weed :D I dried 3 small buds from the very bottom in the dehydrator at 50°C for about 7 hours or so and then enjoyed them in the Volcano tabletop vaporizer (the analog one) in the evening. We perceived the taste as rather earthy or woody. We were very impressed with the effect... despite the "only 9% THC," the euphoria hit quite well 😎.. At first, it pressed me into the sofa, but soon turned into a very pleasant head high. Snacking on a bit of chocolate while philosophizing about various things... 😂 just nicely stoned, not too intense, no paranoia or any unpleasant feelings, really nice. 👍 Pain (from sports) was gone or at least we didn't care about it enough for it to bother us, and we slept great. I'm even more excited about the properly dried buds now. If there are significant differences in effect and taste, I will edit this again... I will also share photos of the trimmed buds later. My conclusion: the euphoria is definitely coming back to my tent. 😃😃 PS: Overproduction will, of course, be disposed of in accordance with the law. ✊👍😴
