Strawberry Lemonade - Organic Grow

Trichome_threshold Welcome to my 3rd Grow adventure 👋😊 This will be again a 100% organic grow. No synthetic fertilizers or other chemicals !!! It directly started in a good way because there was an extra seed in one of the packs and all seeds germinated after 2,5 days. For germinating i use a heated mini greenhouse, "Eazy Plugs" and mixture of water and "BioHealth TH BS WSG" "BioHealth TH BS WSG" is a blend of selected Trichoderma harzianum strains, Bacillus subtilis, humic acids and seaweed extract. I will use it as an additive for the first 5 weeks and you can read more about it here: https://www.humintech.com/en/agriculture/products/water-soluble-products/biohealth-th-bs-wsg.html When I potted the Eazy Plugs into the Airpots, i put some Biotabs Mycotrex into the planting hole. The Soil is the new "Guanokalong Complete Mix" that contains more Guano than the old one. Hope it will be fine for the small plants.

Trichome_threshold 8 days since i planted the Eazy Plugs into the Airpods and everything looks fine so far. 👍😊 Its nice that all seeds popped out at the same day. Only one plant is a little bit smaller than the others and the tallest measures around 10cm now. I guess next week the plants will have a decent size and the roots will be established enough, that i will put them into bigger pots.

Trichome_threshold Day 16 I just bought a AutoPot system for my girls and they moved to the new home today. 😍 The Substrate is a mix of Coco, Soil, FLO fertilizer and 50% Perlite. I added some mycorrhiza into the plantinghole and watered the plants with some additives. I will wait now for 1-2 week, to allow the roots to establish before i turn on the AutoPot system. Day 20 Today i topped the Girls over the 5th node. Next week i will do another topping and defoliation session. FLO Superfood 5L is a BIO fertilizer for growth and flowering. Rich in macro and micro nutrients, enzymes, humic and fulvic acids, amino acids, silicates, calcium, magnesium, fungus and beneficial bacteria. What is Flo Superfood?The high quality ingredients contained in FLO are all natural and low-chlorine, form an unique and complete product.Naturally occurring organic fertilizers which supports plants in growth and flowering / fruiting.

Trichome_threshold This week i will use some techniques to get the plants to a nice shape. 😊 Day 24 Everything looks fine so far and today i trained the girls a little bit. Day 25 I topped the plants again and will defoliate tomorrow.

Trichome_threshold It was time to get rid of some leaves. After i shaved the girls, i used some LST to get a nice shape. Now i am going to a Business Trip for 12 days and i am very excited how the plant will look like after i return.

Trichome_threshold Day 37 It was the first time since i start growing, that i traveled for 9 days and the AutoPot system did a great job. The Plants looking good so far and i switched to 12/12 now. Day 40 The girls are stretching already a lot, so I installed the ScrOG net today. I am using this additive again. https://www.humintech.com/agriculture/products/fulvital-plus-liquid

Trichome_threshold The girls drinking like crazy (around 60 L this week) 🍻 🍺 😝 I think its time to give them some more food. This week i will start to use the Bio Tabs Bio PK 5-8 and Biohum Aminobest and next week i will start to brew the Bio Tabs Compost Tea.

Trichome_threshold The girls still stretching a lot but i think i got them under control and it will be a nice bud carpet in a few days. End of the week it will be time for a heavy defoliating session 😎

Trichome_threshold It was about time for some heavy Defoliation. Looks a bit empty now but i am sure in 7 days it will be full house again. 😎 The girls will get now every week "Bio Tabs PK Booster Compost Tea" and some "Bio Tabs - Bio PK 5-8" as well.

Trichome_threshold The girls flowering full power now and drinking like crazy. The Water usage with the Autopots is way higher than before but the humidity is lower. Very Impressive ! 🙌😊

Trichome_threshold I cut down the amount of fertilizers a bit because the girls showing small signs of overfeeding. 👻 Today i changed the position of the Flex 20 lights because the lower buds wasn't getting enough light. Generally the amount of buds is already quite nice and they look still like in a very early state of the development. Now the interesting time is going to beginn and i am looking forward to the next weeks... 😍

Trichome_threshold The Bud development is still very nice but 2 plants have some little problems. First i thought it was overfeeding but now i think its maybe overwatering. I stoped watering with the AutoPot System for 3 days and the problem was not getting worse. Then i started watering with the AutoPots for 3 days again and the problem started to getting worse. What do you guys think ?

Trichome_threshold This girls definitely need more time than 60-70 days of flowering. I think after the regular flowering time, i will give them an extra 2 weeks with the UV-B light. 😎 During the last week i defoliated the plants again and the lower buds getting better light now. We also wanne harvest down there only rockhard nuggets and no popcorn buds. 😜

Trichome_threshold The Mainbuds still growing strong and also the small nuggets are developing nicely. The defoliation last week really helped a lot to get better light to the small nuggets and they response with increasing the trichomes a lot. 😍 After 70 days i will start with the UV-B lights for the final 2 weeks of flowering. 😎

Trichome_threshold It looks like the girls slowly coming to an end of their lifespan. 👻 I have spotted the first amber trichomes here and there and i think its the right time to start with the uv-b penetration. I will start tomorrow with 1 hour of uv-b light and raise it up to 4 hours per day. 😎

Trichome_threshold The colors starting to fade now and i think i will cut them down end of next week. The UV-B Light is running for 4 hours per day now and it is pushing the trichomes nicely into overdrive. I experience again, that the plants reacting very quickly to the ub-b light. Also the Buds starting to get a bit of purple colors here and there.

Trichome_threshold Last photos before i switched the lights off. The girl looking really ready now and i will cut them down after 24 hours of darkness. The small sample Buds from last week are dried now and have an amazing fruity haze smell. l will smoke some of them during the harvest. 😜

Trichome_threshold Oh my god what a yield. 💪😊 It was totally 656g of dry buds and 15g iceolator hash. I definitely have enough weed until the next harvest. I'm very happy with the outcome, especially because it's the first time i was using the Autopot System. I made some small mistakes and see already some things i can improve at the next run. 😋 The root development was much stronger than with the fabric pots and as we all know: More roots = more fruits. 😜 The combination of the FLOrganics fertilizer with the Biotabs products worked very well and i will use it this way again. 👌 The Sanlight Q4W proved one more time to be an outstanding grow light and the Flex20s did a great job on the lower area. There are absolutely no Popcorn Buds. 👏 Last but not least the California Lightworks UV-B lights smashed it again. It's insane to see how the trichomes went into overdrive already after the first days of use. The UV-B lights have together just 50W and running for maximum 4 hours per day, but the impact is realy strong. Highly recomended if you can get your hands on it ! 👊 Thanks everyone for reading and commenting my diary ! 🙏😊 The next one will go online later today and it will be with the limited release "Orange Kush Cake R1" by Ethos Genetics. Stay tuned. 😉
