Tower84 Unfortunately, I caused a small LED damage to one leaf (see picture) because I increased the intensity of the Ionbeam S22 from 60 to 80% too quickly (distance 40 cm) and also set the VPD to 1 kPa. I’ve turned the intensity back down to 60% and will take a few more days to let it adjust.

Tower84 Aside from the small LED damage on one leaf, everything is running smoothly. I'm going to let them grow for a few more days before I start with LST. The watering amount has been increased from 500 mL to 1L (11 liters of soil). I will probably increase the amount in 500 mL increments now, depending on whether the 3-day watering rhythm is maintained. Happy Growing to everyone out there! PS: On day 20, I started LST; she is growing relatively bushy, and the stretch should be coming soon. On day 20, I also increased the watering amount to 2 L.

Tower84 The last few days, I did LST, and I'm currently waiting for the stretch. I'm trying to keep the height of the plant as low as possible, aiming for a total of 50 cm so it can move into my new smaller tent.
On day 27, the second plant was taken out of the tent, so this plant now has the tent all to itself. I upgraded to a Sanlight evo 3-60 and the AI Controller from AC Infinity - it seems to really love the new setup, and so do I ❤️

Tower84 The plant is developing excellently. I regularly tie down the shoots and remove some leaves that cover the shoots. Since the pre-flowering has started, I'm now adding Bio grow, bloom, and top Max, but no longer using root juice and Fish mix.
Parameters:
Approx. 600 ppfd / DLI 45 with 20 hours of light using the sanlight (40 cm distance / level 5).

Tower84 The flowering has begun, the plant has developed excellently and will fill the 60 by 60 tent quite well. I have some isolated CalMag deficiency symptoms, even though I can relatively stably adjust the VPD with the AI controller and the fan. I'm now gradually increasing the VPD.
Here are the adjustments I've made:
Sanlight LED level 5 to 6 about 650 PPFD / DLI about 45-48
VPD from 1.0 to 1.1
Update 1:
On day 39, I might have cleaned up a bit too much and actually did some lollipopping (see picture day 40). I hope I didn't overdo it, but the plant was too bushy for me and not enough air and light were reaching the individual buds. Level 6 of the Sanlight was also too much for her with 20 hours of light... I went back down to level 5.

Tower84 The development of the trichomes is progressing well, the buds are already as big as my hand. The sugar leaves are very sticky.
I expect to be able to harvest in about 2 weeks. I will continue to fertilize according to the Biobizz schedule for another week before I only water.
I keep the parameters as constant as possible:
Ionboard S22 level 10 with 20 hours of light duration - about 750 PPFD in the middle / DLI 54
VPD 1.2
56% RH

Tower84 The final phase of life has begun, and I'm only giving water pH 6.5, 4.25 L every three days. I will water one more time and then properly stress the plant with a dry phase before I take the scissors to it. The smell is slightly sweet, but not too strong.
I keep the parameters as constant as possible; if necessary, the dehumidifier has to be turned on.
VPD 1.2
Ionboard level 10
On day 73: Start of light output reduction Ionboard level 9 = DLI 46 / PPFD 650
On day 74: Reduction to level 8 = DLI 43 / PPFD 600

Tower84 Unfortunately, I discovered mold in one of the thickest buds today - a total disaster. Even though I never exceeded 60% humidity, the bud was just too massive, so it couldn't release moisture adequately. This was also the bud that wasn't well covered by the fan. I've now checked all the other buds, done some defoliation, and will let the plant sit for a few more days since only about 50% of the trichomes are milky. Less bud mass would have actually been better - but you learn from mistakes.
Edit:
I radically removed 385 g of bud structure to increase airflow and reduce the risk of mold - there's still quite a bit hanging on, and the lower bud structure wasn't getting enough light anyway because the buds were growing too densely.
The good news is that I haven't found any more mold anywhere and I caught the affected bud early - I might just get away with a close call.
I cranked up the fan and got the dehumidifier ready.
Edit: Harvest on day 84 - the trichomes are about 2/3 milky and about 1/3 clear, with hardly any amber ones visible. I could wait longer, but I prefer a more active effect. A final conclusion will follow after drying.

Happy Harvest Day!
8/10
Rated
Strawberry Gorilla Auto hat am Ende kompakte, frostige Buds geliefert mit einem kräutrigen, leicht süßlichem Aroma und etwas Gas-Note – allerdings ohne Erdbeeraroma. Ich würde den Geschmack als Almdudler mit etwas Gas beschreiben - zumindest hat so das Kief bei 180 Grad beim vapen geschmeckt - ich fand es besser als gedacht. Das finale Fazit kommt nach dem curen in vier Wochen.
Die Harzproduktion ist stark, die Blütenstruktur überwiegend dicht und optisch gut.
Die Pflanze hatte bei mir riesige Buds entwickelt, teilweise ca. 1,5 mal so breit und so lang wie meine Hand - das klingt erstmal toll, hat aber den Nachteil, dass das Schimmelrisiko auch stark erhöht ist. Obwohl ich immer unter 60% RLF lag, hatte ich bei einem Bud Schimmel entdeckt - zum Glück frühzeitig.
Mir ist der Ertrag zwar völlig egal, aber wenn Euch das wichtig ist, kann man aus der Genetik einiges rausholen. Ich habe ungefähr 600 g nasse Budstruktur im Laufe des Grows entfernt und am Ende noch meine 49 g trockene Blüten gehabt.
Edit:
Mighty Vaporizer Erfahrung
Wirkung: Starkes, ausgewogenes High mit etwas Couchlook - gefällt mir
Geschmack: 180 Grad - leichte Frucht (Myrcen) mit viel Fantasie Erdbeere, aber eher undefiniert - kein Kräutergeschmack mehr - angenehm
210 Grad - etwas schwächer fruchtig ( Myrcen) mit etwas Cookies - angenehm
Fazit: Solide angenehme Wirkung mit leicht fruchtigem Geschmack

Tower84 After 7.5 days of drying in the tent at about 55% humidity and 21 degrees, it was trimmed. Maybe a day earlier would have been better - the stems have already cracked quite a bit.

Stony_German commentedweek 127mo ago
Great grow report.
It's a shame, but as you say, you learn something with every run. Airflow is the key. My mentor really drilled that into me. My grow buddies laughed at me like I was crazy for using 3-4 fans, but I haven't had bud rot in over 20 years. It's not the strength of the air that matters, but preventing microclimates from forming anywhere. If I may suggest that to you. Having one under the canopy was also a good tip. Sorry for being a know-it-all, but I just want to help.

@Stony_German, you are absolutely right, but the plant was moved from the main project to a side project, meaning from my main tent to the small side tent with only 1.20 m height. I think I should have taken it slower with the nutrients; maybe the buds would have been a bit smaller then. I wanted to have huge buds once, and that worked out. At the cost of now having bud rot. I think I'm also getting bud rot paranoia now - just cranked up the fans in the main tent and set up the dehumidifier. Thanks for your tips - I'll be smarter on the next grow.

Rootinn is awesome and you can even do a premix with soil together and get them only water in all Phases!
I dont get anything for this recommendations its a good and nice meaned tip because I like you and your support 💚💯🍀💪🏻

@Relentless-Pressure, Hi, I've only heard about both so far, but maybe I'll give them a try. I've heard a lot of good things about them. At the moment, I'm using living soil, ferments, and compost tea. But there's still so much to try out 😊

Hi there growmie! I’m doing a small research on real-world feeding schedules for BioBizz nutrients in Light·Mix, especially for autoflowers. Your plants looked very healthy, so I wanted to ask: 1. Do you feed nutrients at every watering, or alternate feed and water? 2. About how many times per week do you feed? Thanks and happy growing! 💪

@majklsoft, No, thats not an issue. But sometimes some strains produces too massive buds and you increase the risk for mold. Maybe less would be better 😂 I‘ll focus now more on photoperiodic strains aiming just for quality not quantity. But I admit I was fun growing really big buds 😅
