11/08/24 Short facts:
- Watered: 1 x 1.L, 1 x 0.5L, 1 x 0.5, 1 x 0.3L, 1 x 1.0L, 1 x 1L — 5.3L
- VPD @ 1.2 — raised by 0.1
- Light @ 80% ~700 to 1050 PPFD
- Added some Bonemeal
- Temperature has decreased to 25 to 26 degrees
- BioBizz Bio-Bloom increased to 2.5ml/L
- BioBizz Bio-Grow increased to 1.5ml/L
- Added some Hesi Phosphor Plus
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She’s still the plant I worry about the most. She showed signs of a phosphorus deficiency, which is why I added 1.5L of water with 2.5ml/L of Hesi Phosphorus Plus. Since then, the symptoms haven’t progressed further.
But maybe it’s also a sign of senescence? It’s really surprising, the buds are already quite big, and the trichomes are mostly milky, with about 5 to 10% already amber! This is insane; it’s only the third week of flowering! It seems I somehow have a phenotype that’s incredibly fast. I’ll probably end up harvesting her in one to two weeks. (It’s really a shame there’s no way to “save” an automatic like you can with a photoperiodic plant. I would have saved this plant and tried to dial in the parameters.)
I was able to decrease the temperature inside the grow tent by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius. I achieved this with a new setting in the AC Infinity app and by bringing in more air from the outside (it’s gradually getting colder; winter is coming!). I also increased the VPD to 1.2.
(Overall, I still need to improve my soil mix with more nutrients for the next run, as I’m sure she could have been bigger. There was a lack of nutrients in the soil to begin with.)
@MrGoonai, das hört sich gut an, die Damen sollten in ein paar Tagen wieder strahlen. Für den letzten Lebensabschnitt ist es für die Damen normal das Chlorophyll abzubauen und ihre Blätter in hereliche herbstfarben zu tauchen bei dieser hier erkenne ich jedoch einen Mangel. Nichtsdestotrotz für den 2 ten grow ist es echt klasse geworden! Halte uns weiter auf dem laufenden und drücke dir die Daumen auf eine fette ernte!
@Dendegrow, Danke dir! Ist mein zweiter Grow.
Ich habe diese Woche nochmal Horn- und Knochenmehl gegeben, da sich ein Stickstoffmangel abgezeichnet hatte, da ist auch noch Phosphor drin. Hoffe, dass damit alle Blätter wieder schön grün hinkriege.
You trim nice and tight so stems and sticks aren't getting weighed. Is your limit the harvest limit, or the post-cure limit?
Perhaps stick with Photos so you can flip and harvest as needed without starting over? Or maybe give your extra bud away? Freeze it and send it through bubble bags? The laws here are quite vague on that (can grow 6 plants per person, each up to 6ft tall, with 3 in flower... but only 2oz per person? - dumb-ass politards ruling things need to go back to grade school and pick up some basic math skills.
Funnier yet, a single dwelling is only allowed up to 12 plants no matter the number of legal occupants. Buuuuut... there isn't an associated limit on the number of FLOWERING plants per house, only per person. SO, a residence with 4 adults can have a full *12* plants in flower. Even a crap grower like me would be able to grow out 5oz * 12 plants = 60oz (or 3.75 POUNDS!!) of freshies or about 1LB cured ready to smoke.
MATH!!!
edit: I love those colors, BTW. Hope she smokes as well as she looks!
@DurpDankley, Thank you, trimming seems to be something, I quite like, it is just very chill with some good music and you can get lost while looking at the buds 😂
Yeah, I'm going to try some photos in summer, already know, what two plants I would like to grow.
Having something to smoke is not important to me, I rarely smoke. Last month it was 0.15g 😀 Smoking makes me too chill and I'm not on my game, so I rarely do.
Yes, the here in Germany, you are only allowed to have 50g of cannabis and 3 plants per person per household. Having over 50 and under 60g is a small offense, no problem there, but having more than 60g is a crime. Also giving away weed is considered a crime and gets punished.
Our laws are quite new, they were created, because politicians already knew, that cannabis is getting consumed by a lot of people. (Basically if you live in Berlin, where our parlament is, you can smell it every day. I lived there for some time, and it is basically everywhere.) But the cannabis from the streets is often polluted or unhealthy things are added. So with the new laws, the consumers have a safe way to grow for their own needs. And also the black market takes a dip. It doesn't make any sense to buy on the black market, when you can grow your own weed, when it is stronger and of better quality.
I'll probably try some over the holydays, I'm also curious how it tastes and what the effects are on me.
Your law sounds quite weird. So basically a appartmentbuilding is only allowed to have 12 plants. Funny.
Also, I don't see that you made *any* mistakes whatsoever, considering your legal harvest limits. Who knows, you might have had to throw away 3x more than you could keep 😩 Maybe a fun experiment for ya: Run a grow where you prune off everything except the main cola. 😋
@DurpDankley, That actually sounds funny. 😁
The law is quite weird, because you don't know, how much is left after drying it. But I destroy it, after I know, so I'm not over the legal limit.
The limit is somehow quite random, but you need at least some limit, so you can differ someone from a grower, that only is growing for his own needs, and someone, who is selling stuff on the black market.
@Dendegrow, Ja, die Farben sind wirklich krass und unheimlich super!
Der Klee speichert Stickstoff und wenn er in einem Folgegrow mit der recycelten Erde vermischt wird, wird er langsam mit freigesetzt. Ansonsten sieht er einfach nur gut aus, bietet den LST-Sticks besseren Halt durch die Wurzeln und schützt die Erde etwas vor zu schnellen Abtrocknen.
Mein nächster Grow wird allerdings nicht mehr ganz so viel Klee haben, sondern der wird spärlicher gesäht.
@NAS_Garden, Thank you very much!
It really seems, that this is one of these Phenos!
I'll probably going to defoliate her a little bit more in the next week.
@yun23, They are called clover - or Klee in german - they are used as a cover crop. They do help against loosing too much water on the top of the earth. They are also helping in giving the earth around them a little bit of nitrogen. It also helps to establish useful bacteria inside the earth 👍
I also do spray the water my plants are getting, and having them, helps against spraying earth out of the pots 😂
And it also helps the Cannabisplant, when there are fungus gnats, they can eat the roots of the clover😓
