High_And_Hydro I didn't soak the cubes, and because of that, it took a whole week for them to finally germinate. Next time, I'll do it properly with a cotton pad and then into the soaked cube.

High_And_Hydro I still had the "old" version in my stash, and since it’s supposed to be very fast, it made it into the run. I'm excited and hoping for the purple pheno. It's positioned in the middle to keep the colors as symmetrical as possible during the grow. The other two will probably stay more green. I've expanded the setup a bit and got myself an AquaForte V30 Airpump, as the individual small pumps became too exhausting and unreliable for me. Additionally, I now have actively filtered fresh air controlled in the tent. The Vivosun controller is responsible for the fresh air, and I can also control one fan separately through it. The Vivosun temperature probe is in the intake duct, while the Trolmaster temperature probe measures the temperature directly at the exhaust, similar to a more modern combustion engine. I might need to swap the two probes around. Currently, the Trolmaster only controls the light with sunrise and sunset simulation. If needed, the air humidifier or dehumidifier will also be controlled through it. This time, the circulation should only blow from below through the plants and be directly exhausted from above. I want to see if this achieves a more even airflow and how the plants respond to it.

High_And_Hydro I water them every few hours with a cup and I've set the light to about 380 µmol/s/m², as long as the roots haven't reached the water yet. The BPP is the fastest of them all. It probably wants to make it in 8 weeks and is going full throttle right away 💪😄👍

High_And_Hydro She's going full throttle and I've already trimmed her up. You can tell it's the Purple pheno, which makes me really happy. I noticed something interesting: after defoliating, my fingers somehow smell like 💩. Luckily, this smell never translates into the flavor profile, so it's not the end of the world. I deliberately chose not to supercrop the branches because I didn't want to interrupt their flow. The lighting isn't really set up for that, so I made some adjustments. I added another 200w lamp, and now they're all hanging turned 90°. This way, I can illuminate each plant individually and none of them get shortchanged. Unfortunately, it took me a few days to come up with this idea, so some potential might have been left on the table. This week, I switched to bloom nutrient solution and reduced the nitrogen. I also significantly decreased the calcium nitrate and magnesium sulfate. The pH drift has completely resolved.

High_And_Hydro She looks awesome, absolutely outstanding. The colors are really coming through nicely and she's now entering the bulking phase, the stretch is almost done. The nutrients seem to be just right and I will be running this without PK13/14. Also, I haven't used any H2O2 this week since the roots look great and I don't have any drift or anything like that. All three plants are drinking about 10L of nutrient solution daily.

High_And_Hydro This week I wanted to recalibrate my pH meter, but it didn't work because my calibration solution was old and dirty. I initially suspected that the probe was broken, so I ordered new 4/7/10 calibration solution and a new probe. The old probe could unexpectedly be brought back to life after I soaked it in potassium chloride ( KCl ) for a few hours, so the new probe is on hand as a spare for now. The old reading was about 0.3 - 0.4 higher than what it showed, so lately I've been working with a pH that was a little too high. It looks a little as if the leaves are trying to show a potassium deficiency, though that could have been caused by the pH issue. Overall, the stigmas are turning noticeably orange, so it's nearing the end. I don't expect much more growth, and it'll probably be harvested this week or next.

Well, the time has come—I’ve cut her down. She didn’t put on much more growth over the last week, and now the other two can finally benefit from the extra space. I only removed the large fan leaves, then hung her up in individual branches in the other tent. She has a slight cherry and lemon smell, which I really wasn’t expecting. I quite like it, though, and I’m glad the shitty smell is pretty much gone. I’m curious to see how she tastes ... ------------------------------------------- ... I tried her with the Ball Vape for the first time today, and I’m very happy with her. She tastes fruity and sweet, maybe a little like cherry—very pleasant and quite intense. The bud structure is a little more open and not quite as dense, but still okay. I’ll turn the small stuff into hash over the next few days and add some pictures later. I hope it turns purple ... ------------------------------------------- ... it’s a little purple, and it tastes great. A lovely, intense flavor of sweet fruit tea with a hint of cherry. It looks relatively unclean, since you can see the stems and some plant material along with the trichome heads, which are mainly responsible for the color. It doesn’t vaporize quite as easily as my other hash, and I need a little more heat. -------------------------------------------

Looks really top-notch! 🔝💚 Different heights can be a bit tricky, but with multiple lights, you definitely have more flexibility. And I think the varying heights add something – it gives the whole setup character✅. If you can balance it out somewhat, it looks really impressive! 🤩👌
