Short veg 40x40 grow

Stony_German Tag 2 Veg Orange Creampop is what this mini grow will be. Unfortunately, the Blueberry Muffin seed didn't sprout at all. I want to be honest, the Orange Creampop was the reserve seed. But whatever, I want to try both genetics and the Blueberry Muffin will just be in the tent in the fall. The Solocups is still there as an indirect humidifier. The little one looks nice, no mutations and a nice even shape of the first real leaves. Since time will be tight, she will only get 2 weeks of veg and then be sent into bloom in an 8L fabric pot. She will be fed mineralically with Canna Terra and of course with soil life, so it's basically a synganic grow. Watering hasn't happened yet since the lid was mostly closed and therefore hardly any water has evaporated. Tomorrow or the day after, she will be watered with Canna Rhizotonic and Dynomyco Spark. Since no tent is free, controlled humidity isn't possible, so I fill water into the bottom of the mini greenhouse and give it a breeze for only a few hours daily when I remove the lid, to strengthen the stem without exposing the little girl to the current humidity of 35% (without the greenhouse lid) for too long. Yeah, it's all not optimal, but it can't be helped. She will handle it, I'm not worried, it's not long until the Frozen Marker is ready and goes into the Vcure to dry, thus freeing up the 40x40 tent. Happy Weekend & Happy Ladies & Growers Love to everyone.

Stony_German Tag 7 Veg and 15 days since the seed went into the glass of water. Tomorrow I'll be transplanting. The young lady is going straight into an 8 L pot. Since it's going to be a short veg, I'm skipping the 1.3-liter Airpot that I usually use. I also gave her Canna Start the day before yesterday. A gentle fertilizer for cuttings and seedlings. Ec - 0.8 and Ph - 6.0, and watered with Dynomyco Spark + additives (listed above). Since the humidity is currently extremely low, I spray the lady as often as I can. Alternating with Alfaboost and BioTabs BoomBoom Spray. She’s getting 300 PPFD with the Blue Spectrum Veg LED. Everything is going better than I expected with this extremely low humidity. I can't even remember the last time I grew without controlled humidity. But we often forget how resilient these plants are and how weeds grow. When transplanting tomorrow, of course, Dynomyco and Great White will go into the planting hole. I’ll probably also put some BioTabs Mycotrex directly on the roots since the Dynomyco granules don't stick well; they’ll just be generously sprinkled into the planting hole. Have a nice stony_Weekend.

Stony_German Tag 14 Veg: Transpl. into final 8-liter pot Our baby was transplanted 6 days ago, and after a few days of recovery, she’s now going full throttle. She’s forming her leaves very symmetrically, and the side branches are starting to grow very evenly as well. As always, I added fungi and bacteria to the planting hole. I gave her a little more Canna Start with EC-1.0 and pH-6.0. During the next watering, she’ll get regular veg fertilizer Canna Terra Vega. Also included were Dynomyco Spark and, according to the feeding chart, Cannazym and Rhizotonic. The humidity and temperature are just right. I will probably top her, but that will be decided at the 5th node. The blue spectrum LED is hanging above the Sanlight Stixx for a bit more blue and more compact internodes since we’re limited in height anyway. PPFD is at 350. All in all, a perfect start and a good way to become a beauty again. Have a nice weekend, growmies.

Stony_German Tag 21 Veg Topping was done after all and it will be the last week of the vegetative phase. The little one looks just perfect. Very nice development of the side branches. Overall, very symmetrical growth. No mutations at all, and she looks healthy and happy. I would love to let her grow longer, but that would become a problem, and I want to finish her myself. The topping was done 4 days ago, and she has recovered very quickly; just 2 days later, the 2 new main stems were growing vigorously. I hope she continues to grow beautifully and without problems, and hopefully delicious terps and my trademark "Frost" will not be missing. We will again do everything with controlled stress to trigger her protection mechanism (=Frost). She has already received Canna Terra Vega + additives according to the feeding chart twice, with a total EC of 1.2. Starting this week, every 2 waterings. The pH will be corrected to 6.0 until flowering day 21. From flowering day 21, it will be adjusted to 6.2. Since the last report, she has also been getting Mono Silica 40% once a week through the roots, and the leaves have been sprayed as well; silicic acid is immediately available to the plants. The only form of silica that is even taken up as leaf feeding is Mono-Silica. Dynomyco Spark was given to her again today. Yucca as a wetting agent against the surface tension of water both when spraying and watering. I wish you all a nice weekend.

Stony_German Tag 28 veg Switching to flowering starting tomorrow evening, reducing light by 2 hours daily. Since we have to worry about space constraints like with every 40x40 grow, we're going in 2-hour increments. The stretch will require all the measures like in the last mini grows. Drybacks, adjusting day/night temps as best as possible, LST with bud clips, and we're also keeping the blue spectrum LED as supplemental lighting and stretch control until flowering day 21. The EC has been slightly raised from 1.2 to 1.3 at pH 6.0. They're drinking about 0.75 liters a day, trending upwards. The Orange Creampop looks perfect. No deficiencies, stress, or mutations. No purple discoloration on the side branches or leaf stems, strong side branches, and simply beautiful. Tomorrow there will also be the harvest report for the Frozen Marker from the last 40x40 run, and I can already say that the lady is quite potent. Of course, I couldn't hold back and had to try it. Uhh, GreenGlasses is to blame😁 it was only tested for his sake😇😆😁 and of course just to see if it tastes similar to his Frozen Marker. 😉 I wish everyone who is joining us on this grow a nice weekend. 😉

Stony_German Tag 5 Flowering Stretch has begun, training and height control will be challenging for the next 2 weeks. Since yesterday, you can see that the stretch has started. The 5 strongest shoots are stretching noticeably. It's still too early to attach bud clips. It needs a few more cm to attach them cleanly. I think in another 2 days I’ll have to intervene, otherwise they’ll shoot up too high and to interrupt or redirect the apical dominance. A very nice little lady. So far flawless. Still growing beautifully symmetrical. I've removed a few leaves here and there that had laid over the smaller shoots in the middle. This way, the center gets nice light. The blue spectrum Veg. LED will stay above the Sanlight Stixx 54w until the stretch visibly slows down. I think until flowering day 18, but that's genetics dependent and hard to estimate. She's also getting more nutrients now. I'm watering with an EC of 1.5 every second watering, simply following the Canna Terra Feeding chart. My silica, Alfaboost, and Dynomyco Spark are extras that I don't want to do without, even with a mineral grow. So, a synganic grow. :p The pH is always adjusted to 6.1-6.2. She feels good, grows healthy and happy, and is well on her way to becoming a beauty again. Even with just 54 watts, you can harvest around 75g of delicious buds with a little experience, as seen in the last 40x40 grows. I wish all growmies, friends, and visitors a nice and sunny weekend. This grow is not sponsored by BioTabs, but you can feel free to use the discount code. You can find it in the Potency grow that will finally be finished tomorrow, once the Vcure has completed the drying/cure.

Stony_German Tag 12 in flowering The stretch is less than expected. I think it won't be a problem to control the Orange creampop in the small 40x40 tent. The stretch is very low for day 12, even though I bent the 6 strongest shoots with bud clips 6 days ago. As expected, it has turned into a nice bush but still grows very little in height. Actually, just how you want it. For a strain described as sativa-dominant, it's quite a surprise. It's drinking a lot right now. 1.2 L needs to be watered every day. Thanks to the soil sensors, you can see nicely that it drinks most of the water about 1 hour after the lights come on, and then again around 4 and 6 hours later, so I water it a bit in the evening before the lights go out, in case I take longer to water it in the morning. That should stabilize again after the lollipopping so that once a day watering is enough. I know the question will come, so in the morning it gets 10% of the pot volume, so 0.8 L, and in the evening 5%, so 0.4 L. The 15% watering rule works perfectly again but depends on the health status and VPD, so don't apply it blindly and then blame me for saying so. Fertilization is done as always every second watering with EC-1.5, a pH of 6.1-6.2. VPD is between 1.3 and 1.5 PPFD is between 600 and 800 I can keep the day/night temperatures nicely between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius, which also helps keep the stretch lower. You could even slow it down more if the temperature were consistently the same, but we're in homegrow, so that's hardly feasible. Since I will only do the Frozen Marker smoke report once I can test it, here's a little hint. I love the genetics. Very mild when smoking but hits hard in the lungs, indicating good potency. The high also leans more towards relaxation but without the classic Kush couchlock. Those who know me know that I prefer it that way. I’ll probably take it out of the basement today because this weekend it had a good 3 weeks cure in grovebags after the 14-day Dry&Cure program of the vCure. That's a tip for everyone who didn't buy the vCure in the presale and wants to gather their first experience with this game changer. It just needs more time to break down the chlorophyll. You can try it right after the 14 days, but the flavor gets so much better if you just wait those extra 3 weeks. So I know I've written a lot again, but well, the Weekend Wake'n'Bake is taking effect. 😆😁 I wish you all a nice weekend!

Stony_German Tag 20 Flowering Today was the time for lollipopping. Since yesterday morning, no more watering was done, and only today after defoliation did everything get back to the feeding chart. The humidity is lower due to less transpiration, allowing her to focus on the shoots that will eventually get light, harden up, and not produce fluffy larval buds. We also switched to Canna Terra Flores to meet the increased phosphorus needs. Still following the feeding chart. The pH is adjusted to 6.0-6.2, and I raised the EC to 1.6. The stretch was less than expected. This genetics is therefore recommended for height issues. I'm really liking the trichome production for day 20, which gives hope for many terps and cannabinoids. Rubbing the stem releases a fruity citrus scent with distinctly recognizable oranges. Very intense for this early phase. What I particularly regret is that I couldn't make it to Mary Jane. Next year, it has to and will work out 99.99%, whether with friends or my family remains to be seen, but I will definitely come. To everyone at MJ, have fun and enjoy the days. Show the world that we are good hosts and that we grow delicious weed here too.

Stony_German Day 28 Flowering The lady is now forming the buds after recovering from the stretch and lollipopping. No radical defoliation this time. The height is ideal for this 120cm tall 40x40 tent. She is looking nice and frosty for her 28 days and everything is going according to plan. I'm really surprised at how intensely lemony she smells. Just from rubbing the side branch or even the leaf stem, you can definitely smell lemon. I would have expected more of an orange scent, but so far it's leaning towards extremely citrusy. Yes, it's still way too early, but it's interesting how strong the lemon comes through. The EC will be increased to 1.7 starting today, and the pH will stay at 6.0-6.2. We don't need to talk about VPD with the current 35 degrees Celsius outside. I'm not interested in that at all and I'm not trying to control anything. Our old air conditioner can't maintain stable temperatures. That will be much better in the next and new grow area where a new air conditioner with much more BTU will keep everything more stable. Otherwise, just watering daily with 1.2 - 1.5 liters, and fertilizing every second watering. Still following the Canna Terra feeding chart. I wish you all a sunny and beautiful weekend.

Stony_German Tag 35 Flowering Very beautiful and frosty flower development. For 35 days, it looks stunning. No problems at all, even though summer has hit us hard. It's currently 37 degrees Celsius outside, which makes the temp in the tent rise to up to 28 degrees Celsius. It's slowly time for us to buy a new air conditioning unit with an outdoor unit and 4 splitters for the living room, kids' room, and bedroom. That will be the next big family investment. Overall, a good genetic variety, stays nice and compact. Very intense, real sour lemon peel smell. Not citrus where I would include orange, Tangie, or grapefruit strains. The EC stays at EC-1.7 until bulking. You can see that I shouldn't go higher than that. It also handles a lot of PPFD well. pH stays between 6.0 and 6.2. I wish you all a nice weekend. We're about to head to the gravel pit with the kids to swim and enjoy some family time. Daddy is going to treat himself to a few doobies, let his belly roast in the sun, and hope to go home without tan lines - bikini lines 😆😁 sorry for the mental image 😉

Stony_German Tag 42 Flowering Start of PK-13/14 Boost Bulking phase begins. So the lady is getting Canna PK-13/14 for the first time today with an EC of 1.8, so still the low dosage. The first PK Boost dose should always be given in the lower specified dosage. This applies not only to Canna but I think to all mineral fertilizer manufacturers (I can confirm this for Plagron, Hesi, Advanced Nutrients, and Terra Aquatica, General Hydroponics). The leaf tips/leaf edges will show with excess whether you can go higher. Toxicity in early bulking should definitely always be avoided. The little lady has had a tough time, which speaks for the good genetics. We had a heatwave in the last 2 weeks that broke all temp records. We’ve never experienced 39 Celsius. The temps in the tent went up to 28 Celsius, and the air conditioning couldn’t get the apartment (lung room) below 26 Celsius. But what is much worse than the high air temp is that the soil sensors indicated that it shot up to 27-28 as well. However, the Or. Creampop is performing great. You can’t even tell what kind of stress she has gone through. In terms of terps, there’s an extreme citrus scent that is more sour than sweet. I’m really curious to see how this develops. As a "washer," she shows very large trichome heads with longer stems, ensuring a high return when washing. It will be interesting to follow this further. As promised, tomorrow there will also be another harvest/smoke report from the previous grows with a THC test (little hint: they are really heavy hitters with over 25% THC😉). I wish you all a nice weekend😉😎

Stony_German Tag 49 Flowering Bulking & max. EC The PK-13/14 boost week for the Orange Creampop. The EC of 2.0 is the max she will get. You can see at the leaf tips that it shouldn't go any higher. She'll get PK-13/14 one or two more times, then the EC will be lowered back to 1.8 and everything will follow the Canna Feeding chart. Very nice trichome density and still extremely lemony. Very sour and not much sweetness, no cream. Let's see if that changes or if it just gets more gassy. VPD can be controlled quite well, but starting today, a heatwave is supposed to begin again. 😓 Wishing all visitors a nice weekend. 😎

Stony_German Tag 56 Blüte Buds werden Dicht Wieder mal liegen die Breeder Angaben viel zu kurz. Sie wird noch gute 14 Tage brauchen. Aber das ist ja nichts neues. Der EC wurde auf 1,5 gesenkt, da sie aber noch gewicht zulegt bekommt sie 0,5ml/l PK-13/14 bei einem PH - 6,0-6,2. An Geruch kommt mittlerweile die leichte Orangen Note bei der ganzen Säuerlichkeit. Sie ist schön frosty und die Trichome sehen nach einen gutes washer aus. Mit der Hitzewelle kommt sie gut zureckt. Die Blüten könnten etwas größer sein, aber trotz diesem extrem - Sommer hat sie sich sehr schön entwickelt und macht gar keine Probleme. Schön mal wieder keine Diva zu haben. Allen Besuchern ein schönes weekend, schöne und gesunde Pflanzen. Stay high and keep on growing😉

Stony_German Tag 63 Bloom & Flushing we are in the last 10-14 days so for some days now every time watered with Cannaflush with a stronger runoff than usual. Basically, I water 2 liters and always have 0.5 L drain. The EC in the runoff is around EC-2.0 as of this morning. PH is still always adjusted to 6.0-6.2. Usually, after adding Cannaflush, the PH drops to 6.0-6.2 without needing to add ph-. The lady is beautifully frosty and delicious citrus terps are coming through that are now slightly orange 7 lime sour. Cream is still yet to come. It will probably only be noticeable after a good cure. Strong and stable genetics that has been through a lot and performs well. The buds of the last two in the 40x40 were a bit fatter and larger but the summer with the heatwaves was not exactly easy, props to HSC for this genetics. Wishing you all a nice weekend.

Stony_German Tag 70 Flowering Patience is key. Unfortunately, the breeder's information is once again useless. She's still not even close to being done. Once again, a nice proof and tip for inexperienced growers to see how slowly the trichome ripening process goes and that patience ultimately determines the quality in the end. I'm still in the flushing stage, but with this slow ripening, I'll probably give her a dose with a mild EC of 1.5. I'm still expecting around 10 days. That would be more than 3 weeks without nutrients, which would be too long for the lady. She’s showing hardly any amber and enough clear trichs, as well as the beginning of foxtails and light green spots, indicating that she’s not ready to be harvested yet. In the meantime, some orange is coming through. I still find it more lemony, though. But that doesn't bother me now. At least it's not that soapy lemon again like with the Super Boof and the Frozen Tropicana Cherry. So we wait and admire the beautiful frosty buds and imagine how she will taste. Happy weekend to everyone.
