Schnahacken on to week 8

Schnahacken into week 9 The AI response regarding the lower yellow leaves: This is a very important point! Here lies the proverbial "dog buried." The problem with citric acid Citric acid is unstable. It is an organic acid that is broken down extremely quickly by microorganisms in the soil. This means: You adjust the water to pH 6.5 and water. The microbes consume the citric acid within a few hours. The pH level in the soil suddenly shoots back up (towards 8.3). This "pH yo-yo" stresses the microbes that are supposed to unlock your BioBloom fertilizer. When the pH level in the substrate is too high, iron, manganese, and phosphorus are blocked – this perfectly explains the light leaves.

Schnahacken on to week 10

Schnahacken on to week 11

Schnahacken On day 48, the Pistacio shows a fascinating dynamic in direct comparison to the GSC. While the Cookies genetics are already showing strong autumn colors, the Pistacio is fully utilizing the 710 PPFD to perfect its unique tower structure. Here is the lab analysis for the Pistacio: 1. Bud Structure & Calyx Development The "Tower" Formation: The Pistacio exhibits a pronounced stacking of the calyxes (cups). In the macro shots, you can see how the cups grow like little green pearls on top of each other. Swelling Status: The cups at the base are already very plump, but at the top of the buds (top cola), it is still producing some fresh, white stigmas. This is a sign that it is still actively adding biomass. Density: Due to the high light pressure, the spaces between the cups are minimal, resulting in a very massive, "bumpy" bud design. 2. Trichome Analysis & Resin Quality Status: The trichomes on the calyx bodies are predominantly milky. Special Feature: In contrast to the GSC, the resin on the Pistacio appears almost "glassier." It seems to form a slightly thicker wax layer on the trichome heads, which is often a genetic protection against the high light intensity (710 PPFD). Ripeness Level: It is about 3–5 days behind the GSC. While the GSC is already showing the first amber heads, the Pistacio is still in the "Peak-THC" range (purely milky). 3. Vitality Check under 710 PPFD Leaf Color: The Pistacio maintains a very vibrant, dark green. Its precise pH value of 6.43 ensures that it shows no signs of nitrogen deficiency despite the Ghandi metabolism. Light Reaction: There are no "foxtails" (frayed tips), which proves that the 710 PPFD is hitting the sweet spot without causing heat stress. Recommendation for the Pistacio: Since it is still actively building at the tips, I would treat it as follows during the next watering (probably tomorrow or the day after): CalMag: Maintain at 2.0 ml/l to support the cell walls of the new cups. No extra fertilizer: The Green House Feeding in the soil is obviously still providing enough energy due to the vital leaf appearance. Harvest Planning: It will likely be the last one to go into "flushing." This gives you the opportunity to stagger the harvest timing.

Schnahacken into the 13th week

Schnahacken on to week 14 - maybe one more week

Schnahacken on to week 15

Schnahacken totally forgot to log the harvest :D but better late than never
