Zupernova Clones

RelaeX The cloning process worked with 4 out of 5 cuttings. They rooted and are alive, but it seems like they're not getting enough nutrients. With the last trimming, I decided to get some more clones and set up a little experiment. On one side, I put the cuttings into seed starter soil, in the middle I just put them in water, and on the other, I just used the normal substrate.

RelaeX Today I had a lot of work. I transplanted all the clones from the beginning. Three of them had good roots; the fourth one has fewer roots and is near death. For the transplantation, I prepared a meal of nutrients with anti-stress and fine-tuned water at pH 6.5. Also, I had a look at my experiment. 🔬 The sticklings in water all developed really small roots and are starting to cry for some food. So they got some little pods. The plants that started in soil haven't developed roots yet. They got another chance next to my California palms. 🌴 By the way, different tomato, zucchini, and pumpkin seeds raised their heads. 🍅🎃 With so many different seedlings, my tent is a little bit too small. So I decided to expand my growing area a little bit.🤩

RelaeX Week 3, Spring Inc. Clones alive: 3/5. I think that's not too bad for my first cloning attempt. Today, they got new, bigger 11L pots and a little more light. The clones from my experimental second try are not that successful, and I think about 50% or 60% will survive. Only the strong ones will win a pot and get more food. And now, to the other greens: tomatoes, zucchini, and California palms. 🍅🥒🌴 The pumpkin is growing well. 🎃Today, I also got some citrus fruit seeds for germination. 🍋

RelaeX Week 4 Three of the five new roots have officially sprouted into plants! 🌱 The other veggies and decorative plants are also thriving. Spring is definitely in the air!

RelaeX Cloning worked with 3 of 5. They are real plants now. The two bigger ones were "bondaged" a little bit. The smallest will get LST during the week.

RelaeX Super clones; they got bound a little bit and drink well. 🥂 They look healthy, so don't give extra nutrients. 🌱💧

RelaeX The clones are doing great. Also, some from the little experiment got roots and won a pod... Probably next week they will get bigger 18l pods with more fertilized soil.

RelaeX Welcome to Week 8 from Stickytime! 📅🌱 This weekend there was and is a lot of work to do. The clones had to handle a lot of stress, but they look just fine. The 11 L pots of soil were a bit small and fully rooted, so they got a little more space in 18 L pots. After the transplantation, I started to tie them down (not all yet), took some leaves, and also broke some branches. I'm not giving fertilizers at the moment; with the new soil, they should have enough nutrients for the next two weeks. If they need something, they'll get a bigger 33L pot. 💪

RelaeX This week I did a lot of transplantations to bigger 18L pots, a lot of bondage, and also broke some branches. 🌳💪🌿 I also cut out some leaves and adjusted the lights to 650 to 750 PPFD at about 40 DLI. 💡✂️ The water is leveled at 6.4 PH. 💧📏 At the moment, there is no need to supply any nutrients. 🚫

RelaeX This week I didn't have much work. The last two plants got a bigger pod, a little bit of bondage, and nothing else but water and love. 🌱💖

RelaeX This week I had a lot of work, but it's nearly finished. 😅 The plants were so bushy that I had a lot to cut out. I also readjusted all bindings and made them new. 🌱🌿 The top leaves also started to turn a little yellowish. I installed the Spider Farmer GGC AC 10 system with environment control, and it confirmed my suspicion that they were hungry. So, they got their first nutrients this week. 💧 I also installed some new vents and changed the lights in the tent; now there are 2 x 3000 pro in it. I am also thinking about buying some more soil sensors and the PPFD controller when they are on sale next time. Tomorrow, I will program the watering system; finally, everything will be fully automated—less work, more time to watch them grow. 🤖🎉 They are all developing well, even the High Society clones, which were struggling in the last run. I think I will give them one or two more weeks in vegi before I do the 12/12 switch. Thx for reading and i hope u enjoyed it.

RelaeX Week 12: Pre-Flip Cleanup 🌿 Status: Canopy's looking like a jungle (in a good way). Two weeks till we flip to 12/12. 🗓️ The Stats: Climate: Chillin' at 24.8°C and 66.5% humidity. That 1.05 VPD is basically the "Goldilocks zone" for the plants right now. 🌡️💧 The Soil Mystery: Your sensor's reading 0.11 EC. That’s super low—your plants are basically eating everything you give them immediately. 🧐🌱 Light Game: Bumped things up to 450–540 PPFD. It’s a good "pre-workout" for the flowering phase. 💡💪 Work Done: The Haircut: Did some defoliation to get that air moving through the center. ✂️🌬️ Free Movement: Cut the bonds and removed the ties. Let 'em stand on their own two feet for a bit. ?‍♀️🌿 Fed: Gave 'em a fresh dose of nutrients. 🍽️💧 Eyes on the Prize: Yellowing Leaves: Some of the tops are showing yellowing between the veins. Since you just cranked the lights, they’re likely screaming for a bit of Magnesium. Throwing some Cal-Mag their way should fix that right up. ⚠️💚 The Stretch is Coming: In two weeks, these things are gonna try and hit the ceiling. Make sure you’ve got room to move those lights up! 📈⬆️ Plan for next week: Keep 'em fed, watch that yellowing, and get ready for the 12/12 flip. 🗓️🧐🔄

RelaeX Alright, Week 13 of the jungle adventure is here! 🌴🐒 I gave the ladies a good trim so they're getting all the light and breeze they need. ✂️🌬️ Plus, I moved two plants to the side tent. 🏕️ Right now, it's a comfy 27.7°C with 65.8% humidity, so the VPD is a sweet 1.27 kPa. 🌡️💧 Down in the roots, the soil is chilling at 22.6°C with 35.9% moisture and a gentle EC of 0.10 mS/cm. 🌱💧 And yeah, the grow room supervisor is making sure everything's on track! 😼✅ Next week is MJ 26, when it's over we go to flower. 🌸🌼

RelaeX this week is no time give long updates..... tomorrow high.... maybe I edit it

RelaeX Grow Diary – Week 15 Catching Up & Plant Training Last week was super busy due to the Mary Jane expo, so I barely had any time for the garden and could only keep an eye on things via the camera feed. Because of that, there was quite a bit of work waiting for me this week. I focused heavily on the High Society and the Zupernova. I started by transplanting just one High Society and one Zupernova into big 30-liter pots, while the rest of the plants will follow later this week. Checking the root ball during the process, the transplant came at the absolute perfect time. The roots were incredibly dense, fully binding the substrate, and showed a beautifully healthy, bright white-to-beige color with no signs of root rot. In their new 30L homes, they have all the space they need to explode. To shape a great canopy, I put these plants through a round of Super Cropping by snapping the branches. They feature thick, well-established main stalks that provide excellent structural stability for this kind of high-stress training. I followed this up with some thorough defoliation to clear out the lower growth, improve airflow, and get the light right where it needs to be. The foliage looks highly vibrant and bushy with a rich green color, showing great overall vitality, though I noticed some genetic purple/reddish tinting on the stems which is typical for these genetics. **Current Environment & Setup** The climate in the tent is looking very solid and stable right now. The air temperature is sitting comfortably at 26.4 °C with a relative humidity of 64.7%. This puts the VPD at a perfect 1.21 kPa, which is an absolute sweet spot for this stage of growth. Down in the medium, the soil temperature is at 24.4 °C with a moisture level of 40.3%. The main ventilation fan is working away at level 10 to manage the temperature and humidity, keeping everything perfectly on track after a busy week of maintenance! Thanks for tuning in and following along with this week's update. Let's see how the girls bounce back from the heavy training and stretch into their new pots over the coming days. Happy growing to you all, and see you next week!

RelaeX Welcome to week 16, which marks the final week of the vegetative phase. 🗓️🌿 This week has been challenging in terms of temperatures. Today, the largest High Society was transplanted into a 44-liter pot. Super cropping was applied to all plants, and they were bent to ensure uniform height. Some plants, especially those not transplanted, showed signs of magnesium deficiency with light brown spots. 🌡️?💪 The pH level was adjusted to around 6.6 because the drain in some plants was a little low at 5.6. All plants were defoliated again, and a foliar spray was applied during the ‘sunset’ period. 💧✂️🌅 There are six plants remaining in the main tent. In the side tent, two mother plants are kept: a Super Nova and a High Society. The humidity averaged 65% with a VPD of 1.20 to 1.40. 🏡🌱📊

RelaeX Grow Journal – Week 17: Flowering Countdown and Setup Status: Moving into flowering (Right now: 16h light – cutting 30 minutes daily) Climate: Air Temp: 25.6 °C | Humidity: 59.8 % | VPD: A nice 1.32 kPa Soil: 35–44L Heavy Pots | Soil Moisture: 43.8 % | Soil EC: 0.26 mS/cm Lights: Main Tent: 2x ViparSpectra XS3000 (Chained together via Port "Light 1" @ 44 % / ~583 µmol/m²/s) * Side Tent: 1x ViparSpectra XS2500 (@ 25 % / 18/6h-mode for mom plants) Main Tent: Plant Training and Auto Watering To make up for the less light, we're slowly cranking up the ViparSpectra XS3000 lamps. The goal is 750–800 µmol/m²/s when we hit the 12/12 light cycle. Plant Training (Super Cropping): A few tall "alpha shoots" in the back right were getting too big, messing with the Spider Farmer climate sensor in the middle. Time for some training: We bent these shoots over (Super Cropping). The sensor is clear now, giving good data again, and the canopy is flat. This gets the plants ready for the Scrog net, which goes in next week at 120 cm. Better Pulse Watering: The strong 25W pump of the Spider Farmer Raindrop system puts out 3 liters a minute—that's about 500 ml per pot for our 6 plants. The old short watering time made water shoot straight down past the sensor, making the app think it was soaked when the outside soil was dry. We upped the time to 45–60 minutes. Now the water actually soaks in evenly like a sponge. Soil moisture is holding steady at our target of 43.8 %. Soil and Roots: The plants in the back, repotted two weeks ago, are a deep, rich dark green—meaning their roots have taken over the fresh Plagron/Floragard mix. The front three, repotted just 3 days ago, are still a lighter green in the middle. This is normal for a fast pre-flowering stretch, where the new roots can't quite keep up with the crazy growth. The leaves will darken up in a few days as the roots catch up. Tank Care: Because the plants are eating so much, the 50-liter main tank empties every 2 to 3 days (they're drinking about 3.3 liters per plant daily!). An air stone bubbles oxygen into the water every 30 minutes (for 1 minute), keeping the 30 ml of BioBizz CalMag mixed in and fresh. THE FLOWERING MASTER PLAN: Separating Nutrients Hey, how are your setups looking these days, and how do you handle the stretch in big pots? Let me know in the comments, and happy growing to everyone out there!

RelaeX Hey, it's Week 18—fall's here! 🍂🍁 Today, we successfully switched to the 12-hour light cycle and got the Screen-of-Green net set up to perfectly control plant growth. 💡🌿 The environment stayed steady: air temp bounced between 21 and 27 degrees Celsius, and humidity was between 54 and 78 percent. 🌡️💧 Soil moisture settled between 33 and 48 percent, and the soil temp was a constant 21 to 23 degrees Celsius. 🌍🌡️ CO2 levels had natural ups and downs, hitting peaks of up to 817 ppm without us adding any extra. 📈🌬️ A super cool thing is how well the **High Society** is doing. ✨🚀 Compared to last time, this strain is crushing it, mostly because we're barely feeding it: almost no extra fertilizer. 📉🌱 Instead, just repotting into fresh, pre-fertilized soil with tiny, low doses of nutrients was totally enough. ?💧 This strain is practically exploding and is about 100 cm tall. 📏💥 With some High-Stress Training (HST) and constantly tucking it into the net, we managed to get the canopy height even across all the plants in the tent. 🕸️💪 On the other hand, the **Zupernova** plants are generally a bit shorter. 📉🌿 This is the opposite of the last run, where the height difference between these two strains was totally flipped. 🔄🤔

RelaeX ## 🌿 Week 19 The jungle is rising: (Flowering week 2 starts now) – The Power of the Perfect Root Zone & Controlled Feeding Welcome to Week 19! This run is proving to be a masterclass in how much difference a proper transplanting schedule and a restrained nutrient approach can make. The setup is thriving, and we have a very surprising plot twist in the tent this time! Let’s take a virtual step inside the jungle and look at the magic! 🎬👇 ### 🔎 What You See Inside the Jungle (Visual Update) If you peek into the tent right now, the first thing that hits you is a beautifully structured, deep green sea of leaves with an incredible architectural layout: * **The Plot Twist: A High Society Takes the Crown! 👑** In a complete reversal from my first run, a **High Society plant sitting right in the center has become the most dominant, aggressive grower in the tent!** To keep the canopy uniform and manage her explosive energy, I spent this week actively tucking and weaving her branches into the Scrog net. By bending her dominant tops horizontally into the grid, I successfully flattened her profile, giving the surrounding plants the crucial time and light they need to catch up and level out the canopy. * **The Lower Architecture (The "Tree Trunks"):** Looking under the hood, the training this run has been clean and precise. The lower sections look like well-manicured bonsai trunks. The stalks are incredibly thick and woody, providing a massive highway for nutrients. Every single lower fan leaf and weak node has been systematically cleared out (lollipopping), leaving a pristine, well-ventilated under-canopy where the automatic drip irrigation lines are locked into place. * **The Switch Dimensions & Canopy Balance:** During the switch to flowering, the genetic differences were initially clear—the Zupernova stretched to around **110 cm** and the High Society clones averaged **90 cm**. But with the center High Society pushing the limits and being woven into the net, the white Trellis grid is doing a phenomenal job keeping this jungle perfectly balanced. * **Pure Health:** The wireless sensor sits right on top of the canopy, bathing in the intense glow of the LEDs. The foliage looks pristine—a vibrant, healthy light-to-mid green sheen with absolutely zero clawing, zero nutrient spots, and zero burnt tips. The first flower clusters are forming beautifully at every single tip. ### 🎛️ The Golden Strategy: What Made the Difference This Run #### 1. Perfect Root Evolution (No Stagnation) Looking back at the root photos from transplanting, the root balls were pristine, bright white, and incredibly dense. Moving step-by-step (12 cm $rightarrow$ 11L $rightarrow$ 30L $rightarrow$ Final 35/45L) allowed the root system to thoroughly colonize each container. There are no unestablished "dead zones" or soggy pockets in the soil this time. #### 2. Natural Deficiencies Solved via Repotting So, early on, the hungry Zupernova showed a little hint of magnesium deficiency (you know, that classic yellowing between veins on the middle leaves). Instead of freaking out and dumping chemicals or Epsom salts into the soil—which totally messes with the EC—I just let the scheduled transplanting do its thing. The fresh soil immediately fixed the problem naturally, and the color came back in a few days. #### 3. Super Strict "Less-is-More" Nutrient Control I've been **super careful with fertilizers** this whole time. Last time, adding too many nutrients too early in pre-amended soil caused a huge EC buildup when the plants started flowering. That led to osmotic blockages where the plants literally dried up from the inside out right after I flushed them in wet pots. This time, the EC in the soil is perfectly balanced. Since the pots are packed with active, hungry roots, the automatic drip irrigation system works flawlessly, and the soil dries out beautifully and evenly. ### 🌤️ Climate & Parameters * **Light:** My main LEDs are locked at the perfect height, giving a strong, even light spread across the whole canopy without creating hot spots. * **Irrigation & Sensors:** The wireless sensors track the climate right at the growth tips. The automatic drip lines ensure a precise dry-back cycle. The tops are stretching perfectly through the grid, the center dominance is beautifully managed, and the first flower formations are setting up for an epic harvest. Lesson learned: Give the roots space, manage the canopy with the net, and go easy on the nutrients! Let me know what you think of this center-weaving strategy in the comments! 👇🌲

RelaeX Week 20: Flowering Week 3 – Lollipopping, Climate Control & Heavy Water Intake 🌸🌸 Relax! Hey, it's Week 20—Flowering Week 3 is officially underway! We are entering the final stretch of the stretch phase, and the canopy is looking dense, lush, and super active. The Screen of Green (ScrOG) net, which was installed at the start of Week 18, is doing an amazing job keeping everything level and evenly spread out across the tent. Environment & Climate Adjustment 🌡️💧 With the massive canopy and high transpiration, humidity started spiking. To keep the environment safe and prevent any mold risks in this critical phase, we installed a dedicated A/C unit with a dehumidification function. Day Temperatures: Ranging steadily between 21 °C and 27 °C. Relative Humidity: Kept under control between 54 % and 78 %. Plant Training & Maintenance ✂️ Lollipopping & Defoliation: This week, we performed a thorough lower-canopy trim (Lollipopping) in the main tent. Removing the weak lower growth ensures the plants divert 100% of their energy to the top sites. Combined with regular defoliation, airflow through the ScrOG net is top-tier. Canopy Height: Total plant height is sitting right around 1.40 m (including our 30–35 cm pots). Light Distance: The lights are dialed in at roughly 40 cm from the canopy. Strains Progress 🌿 High Society: Absolute monster growth! It has reached impressive height and filled its section of the ScrOG screen completely. Zupernova: Catching up nicely, building compact and dense bud sites across the screen. Side Tent (Mothers): In the neighboring tent, the two mother plants are chilling under reduced light, growing slowly and steadily at a manageable pace. Feeding & Watering 💧 Water consumption has surged massively this week—the plants are drinking non-stop! Total Volume: We are currently going through roughly 100 Liters of plain water per week, plus an additional 20 to 40 Liters (2–4 10L watering cans) mixed with nutrients. pH & Stability: After a short temporary fix with citric acid (which drifted up to pH 7.5 after settling), we are back to a rock-solid, stable setup using phosphoric acid to keep our water dialed in at a steady pH 6.5. Nutrient Mix: The flowering tents are receiving Hesi Bloom Complex, Root Complex, and SuperFit to keep up with the heavy demand during this key phase. Everything is primed for the buds to stack up over the coming weeks! Stay tuned and see you all next week! 🚀
