Runz Notfallgrow

Jimmy87 Day 5: My deadline for the end of week 1 and the start of the growth phase. Roots are already sticking out at the bottom for all of them. Day 6: Rooting is progressing well. I have prepared 2L pots with 80% Light-Mix and 20% All-Mix. With a pH of 6.4, I regulate the water to keep it well-moistened. Day 8: The roots are nice and even and are really spreading out. I transplanted them into the prepared 2L pots and watered each with 100ml of water mixed with Root-Juice at pH 5.8. Day 11: All 3 have handled the transplanting well. I have a feeling that the smaller one could be a different phenotype. It looks a bit different. I made 250ml of leaf spray with about 0.5ml each of Fish-Mix, Akti-Veea, and Alg-A-Mic, with a pH of 5.8. I will start using the spray regularly and see what happens...

Jimmy87 Tag 12: The leaf spray is being well absorbed by the plants, and I feel like they’re thanking me for it... Starting today, I’m using 110 W 6500K fluorescent lights at a distance of 25cm from the plants. I’ll adjust that based on how they develop, either for 1 or 2 weeks, then they’ll move into the big tent for the Sunlight Evo... Tag 13: First feeding with 2ml/L Fish-Mix and 2ml/L Akti-Vera. 200ml per plant. Tag 15: Even though I felt yesterday that they could use a bit more nutrients, I’ve stuck with the lower values for now and just increased the water amount. 1L for all three at pH 5.9 and EC 0.7. #3 has slightly larger leaves and much bigger serrations. I’m curious to see what the difference is. Tag 16: Mixed the leaf spray just like on day eleven. They’re growing well and evenly. Slowly considering Fimming...

Jimmy87 Day 19: Prepared 3 pieces of 20 L pots with Biobizz All-Mix and added 1L each of pH 6.0 EC 0.3 and 4ml/L Root-Juice. Reduced the light cycle to 17/7 hours. One more week of 6500k, then I will switch to full spectrum with 16/8 and maintain that until the transition to flowering. I'm slowly considering whether and how I will use IR and UV... Day 20: Fimming about 80% of the main stem, #1 and #2 above the 3rd node, #3 above the 2nd node. After the fimming, I added nutrients and a leaf spray just like on day eleven to possibly support the FIM... No stress, quite the opposite, they are stretching the leaves even more upwards... Day 22: Transplanted into the prepared 20L pots and watered each with 1L of Root-Juice EC 0.3 pH 6.2. Additionally, I mixed 500ml of leaf spray just like on day 11.

Jimmy87 Tag 26: Moved to a larger tent. Sanlight Evo at 40% Tag 31: They are growing. Fimming apparently didn't work, but let's see what else happens. Tag 32: #2 and #3 have had 2 upper fan leaves removed so that the little shoots get better light. For #1, I don't think it's necessary, as it stretches more and the side shoots get enough light even without defoliation.

Jimmy87 Tag 33: They are growing very well, but I'm giving them another week of growth before I switch to flowering. You can see the potassium deficiency in #1. My suspicion is that Biobizz generally has low potassium and magnesium levels, so calmag needs to be purchased... Or the strain is extremely potassium and magnesium hungry... Just a guess ;-) I generally feel that more could be done if a bit more fertilizer is given... 500ml foliar spray like on day 11 #1: 22cm, #2: 20cm #3: 18cm LST on #1 and #2 Tag 35: Defoliation of the lowest leaves and shoots. For #3, I removed another 2 large fan leaves to get more light to the lower shoots. Overall 4L with the last fish mix. 3ml/L Fish, 2ml/L Root, 3ml/L Akti, 1ml/L Calmag Tag 38: Watered 4L with only 2ml/L Bio-Grow. I was a bit off track, so I forgot calmag... Next time

Jimmy87 Day 40: Transition to flowering 12/12 and increased light output by about 20% to 60%. 4 L of water with EC: 1.2 and pH: 6.2. They are starting to drink more... Day 42: 4L without Akti-Vera EC: 1.2 pH: 6.2 Day 44: 5.5L without Akti-Vera EC: 1.2 pH: 6.2

Jimmy87 Day 47: Increased light output to 80% (212w) and watered with 6L EC 1.2 and pH 6.4. The plants are getting bushier and finally growing a bit taller. You can see the first female pistils on all three of them :-) Since the potassium deficiency still isn't 100% resolved, I've increased the dose to 2ml/L. That's the maximum now; I won't go any higher. Day 49: 5L EC 1.2 and pH 6.4 without Akti-Vera. The first lower leaves are wilting and the water demand has increased dramatically. Day 50: 3L EC 1.2 pH 6.4 without Akti-Vera. Day 51: 3L EC 1.2 pH 6.4 without Akti-Vera. Day 52: 5L EC 1.2 pH 6.4 without Akti-Vera. Tomorrow I want to take a watering break day, and on Sunday when they're thirsty, I will...

Jimmy87 Day 54: Took all 3 out and trimmed them all around, watered with 7L EC 1.2 pH 6.3. I hope I didn't take off too many leaves, but they were so bushy and I'm afraid of mold... Day 56: Watered with 5L EC 1.2 pH 6.3. I'm gradually lowering the humidity from today. Day 57: Watered with 5L EC 1.2 pH 6.3. Day 59: Watered with 7L EC 1.3 pH 6.4. Buds are growing very well.

Jimmy87 Day 61: Increased light intensity to 100% (265W). Lowering Bio-Grow and increasing Bio-Bloom. EC and pH remain the same. Watered 7L EC 1.2 pH 6.4. Day 63: Watered 6L EC 1.1 pH 6.4. Unfortunately, the EC value is going down a bit due to my feeding schedule, but I don't want to counteract it with more CalMag, and I will definitely stick to my plan of completely stopping Bio-Grow... I hope the bio microbes in the soil will increase the EC value accordingly... Day 65: Watered 6L EC 1.1 pH 6.4. I can tell that the plant's growth behavior is changing. It needs a bit less water, the first lower leaves are wilting, and the buds are literally exploding... Even though I'm blasting it with 265W, there are really 0 signs of burning on the leaves. The average distance is 15 cm and sometimes even less than 8 cm. I'm really impressed with the plant's resilience... Day 67: Actually, this would be the time for the intermediate flush... But after much consideration, I will not do it. I don't want to wash too many bio microbes out of the soil and I think it's not necessary with my feeding schedule. When I look at the original schedule, Bio-Grow is given until the end and even steadily increased with Light mix... In my opinion, that doesn't really make sense, but it still leads to results... Therefore, today I will skip watering and give the plants 1 day of dry stress and hope for more flower growth when I increase the dosage with Bloom and Top-Max tomorrow...

Jimmy87 Day 68: Watered 7L EC 1.3 pH 6.4 Day 70: Watered 6L EC 1.3 pH 6.5 Day 72: Watered 6L EC 1.3 pH 6.5. The leaves are turning more and more purple. Day 73: Watered 3L EC 1.1 pH 6.5.

Jimmy87 Day 65: Watered 6L EC 1.3 pH 6.4. The plants are getting thicker, but all 3 are developing a bit differently. #1 has completely green leaves #2 is really purple #3 is more like #1 but also has a hint of purple in it Day 67: Watered 6L EC 1.3 pH 6.5. Day 69: Watered 3L EC 1.2 pH 6.4. 5ml Bloom Day 71: Watered 6L EC 1.1 pH 6.4. 4ml Bloom The first trichomes are turning milky. I actually wanted to fully feed for another week, but the buds are so fat that I'm afraid of getting mold problems if I keep pumping them full. I think I'm going to slow down a bit or start flushing already?!?!

Jimmy87 Tag 71: I have decided to start flushing. I feel like I'm just about ready for harvest... Tag 72: Flushed 6L EC 0.3 pH 6.2. Tag 73: Flushed 6L EC 0.3 pH 5.8. Tag 74: Flushed 3L EC 0.3 pH 6.0. The soil in the fabric pot was still slightly moist before watering. The soil is now completely saturated with nutrient-free water, and the last reserves are being drawn from the soil. You can also see well on the leaves how the reserves are being sucked out... Just as I imagined :-) However, I think I could have pumped the plant for another week to increase the yield. But qualitatively, I'm doing just right :-) Tag 75: Flushed 3L EC 0.3 pH 6.0. Tag 76: Some leaves are drying out. If they come off easily, I pull them off, and I leave the leaves that are still firmly attached to the stem. I'm still not completely happy with the ripeness level. I will at least continue to water with water at the beginning of next week. Once the harvest level is right, I'll let it dry out for a week before the harvest.

Jimmy87 Day 78: 6L EC 0.3 pH 6.0 flushed. Today the pots were completely dry again... I will start integrating UV and IR from today. 1 hour of UV at noon, 3/4 hour of IR in the evening. Also, I'm reducing to 11/13 to better simulate autumn. Day 79: 3L EC 0.3 pH 6.0 watered. I will continue working with UV and IR. The plants show no reaction. Day 84: Since I've had to work a lot the last few days, after 3 days of UV without IR, I completely turned off the lamp again... Unfortunately, I suspect that 3/4 smaller side buds have developed slight mold. They are a bit dried out and have taken on a slightly darker color. A bit reddish. I cut off the buds and examined them closely, but couldn't find anything directly. Something is not right with those 3/4 buds. I think it's the early stage of bud rot. I've had this mold before, but much stronger than this time. The other flowers look good. This evening, I pulled the plug about 2 hours before sunset and will harvest tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Jimmy87 Harvested exactly after 8 weeks of flowering. I would have liked to wait another 2 days, but I had to go on a work trip, so they had to come down...
