Started 2X Purple Matcha seeds. Fucked up, and dropped everything in my living room floor. Hope the Seeds i found are correct, --- Waiting for them to rise! --- updated pictures, Both sticking up from the soil! --- Updated 2 more pictures About the big pots, pain in the ass in some places to keep moist; but pays off sience the plant grows much faster and the initial fan leaves will be huge saves the roots time growing and plant-stress from repotting So if ur able to go big, just do it directly! =)

2x Purple Matcha in 26L fabric pot will add a bit more soil later on if im in the mood, dont really think its an issue because there is plenty of root space, think im doing a "fast" run this time, not so long veg as i planned, the one on the floor will be moved around(excess light) because id like to see what the TS 3000 is able to do. The fan goes in in about a week, the temps arent that high and im just letting them come up when its not so windy, also the big fabric pots dry out too fast for my taste if the fan is there for the whole time. TS 3000 should probably be dimmed, you could do it. but i like ATOMIC waste and shit, so i run everything always @ 100%; just blame me when the world ends- Yeah. For this run ive planned, "Bio bizz grow&bloom" and then as a extra suppliment "Advanced Nutrients Big Bud & Overdrive" There is much to choose from, but ive gotten great Yeld & Quality with these, Lets see what happens =) If i go by the hydro store, i think the TS 3000 would be powerful enought for the plants to use extra CO2, so im probably trying out this *fungus-bag, because it's somewhat cheap and i'd like to see what it does. --- Got the ExhaleCo2 bag, placed it above fresh air intake.. lets see what it does =) Also gave the plants microbe life photosynthesis plus, it contains mycorrhiza and other stuff.. Reeks and works. Higly Recommended!

Nice week.. Sunny outside and tempy inside =) Will be solved in time for flower.. Them a bit twisty, not probably these 2 but those other smaller plants suffer from different types off stress.. i think its ph or temp or overwatering. Think it will be solved when they get just a bit larger.(re-placed fan position as precaution in case of wind burn) Otherwise im happy with the Exhaleco2 bag, it seems as they point a bit more towards the light .. Could be strong placebo also =D but for the full effect i would probably use 2, because all the youtube videos contains atleast 3-5 bags per tent the bag seems moist(nside), and dont smell any bad or anything.. Just opened it up and put it hanging above the fresh air vent --- Will do one fim and then try to LST everything tall & wide so fast as it grows. Fimmed both MATCHA so its LST from here on, depends on how the fim vent, i might top 1-2~ times more, but usually only if something starts going too fast uppwards -to tame it down to the size that's desired. --- Pinned plants down for some type of lst effect Also started feeding Bio Grow to the plants --- Decent sized fan leaves, not the largest i've seen.. Tho im impressed, the small plant smells very great.. Leaning to a really fruity smell --- Defoliated & updated pictures =)

week 5 of vegetation starting, everything going pretty good, just a week or two more the temps are getting there! only a week or two more and the bush is glad. =) --- (these 2 matcha vere planted at perfect lunar schedule, dunno but thats the info i got, they are big and healthy loooking =.) "What is the best moon phase for planting? New Moon. At the new moon, the lunar gravity pulls water up, and causes the seeds to swell and burst. This factor, coupled with the increasing moonlight creates balanced root and leaf growth. The first quarter is the best time for planting above ground bearing annual crops that produce their seeds outside the fruit.Sep 5, 2019 Moon Phase Gardening | Planting by the Phases of the Moon" this is just some copy 'n paste shit, But i was like o_0 and doubbed this shit down the drain, untill i really saw the difference for myself. But pinetip recommends: Buy luuunar mambo jambo & follow Mambo Jambo, then you can Blaze all night long everly happily =) --- removed pinning down effect, the canopy is pretty even with everything so if there is more tying down it's during 2-3 week of flower (after the stretch). Cant wait to put these to flower, seems like it happens in a week or-two, they say that 75% of desired canopy space should be filled before flipping to flower. I recon here is now like 60%~ so a week or two, have to check the lunar schedules also, to find a suiting day Seems as the 15 this month would work gr8 Copy & Paste> Waning is the opposite, or decreasing after a full moon, and is always illuminated on the left. Then, there is a waxing or waning Gibbous moon, which means more than half of the moon is illuminated. And then a waxing or waning Crescent Moon, when less than half is illuminated.). Thanks for following along =) --- Change of plans, means i'll put this today into flower, so it's about 6 weeks of vegetation then, let's see what happens, also my official lunar source says it could be an awesome day to do so so wheeee! =) Pinegump's official lunar hippie here, hiii: Moon is hanging out around the Aquarius asterism today which means it is flower days on the surface of Earth, which means during these days the energy of the plant is in the flower part of the plant. When talking about germinating or planting anything, you want to aim to the days that match the part of the plant that you want to give the best chances. Howeveeeeeeeeer and this is important: The days of the Aquarius are shitty days to plant or germinate anything... (Not to be mixed with the Age of Aquarius ;) ...and the moon was also full yesterday so a shitty day to inflict stress to the plant so if you cut your plant yesterday... There's still a chance that nothing bad happens! There are multiple variables on the play so the days of Aquarius are not 100% crap every time and as too much good usually equals bad so if you aim to match everything to the point you're heading to the woods... Oh, btw, you should head to the woods. Flower days on the surface of the earth mean outside irl (!!1) the flower plants are flowering nicely.. Go see! Many herbs out there too, our Gaia provides us with all that we need, you'll be surprised when you research the plants on your back yard... ;) Okay so here are the basics of the basic: Full moon = shitty day to cut plants, full moon pulls everything up so the plants bleed to deaaaaaaath oh nooooeees... Waning = The ground takes everything in (oh humans work the other way around btw) and the plants take everything in, the force is kinda pulling down. New moon = Awesome day to cut plants, cutting the top of a sick plant along with all the sick parts obviously usually means the plant heals nicely. Waxing = Moon starts to pull up again, this is when you want to plant stuff that grows on top of the ground. Flowers = flower (air) days Leaf plants (herbs'n'stuff) = leaf (water*) days Fruit plants = fruit (fire) days Root of the plant is the stuff you need = root (earth) days *Plants drink up and use water efficiently on water days, and you can also train the plants to get used to watering on water days... Okaaaaayyyy boys and girls that's it for the moon lecture, my source of information is mostly from the book Vom richtigen Zeitpunkt by Johanna Paungger and Thomas Poppe, now go do your own research! --- A few days early, Regrouped plants & Flipped to 12 12 Added TS 1000 as extra supplement light defoliated everything, more light for TOPPP's 😡

week 4 starting, everything looks good to the right are the matcha plants.. Added more bloom to the mix this week, can show a bit of deficiency But less is actualy more in this "branch" One more week and then its time to switch Big Bud to OVERDRIVE, OMG.. Can't belive this is happening, it's almoast finnished! or atleast half-way trough. --- one Gorilla Breath dies horibly because of hermafrodism. This was very unexpected. no other one seems to suffer yet, and hopely ever not of the same. Actually been growing humbolt very long now so it was bound to happen. can be of my lack of care/mars small led wich had a few leds on even when no power was plugged. well its in another socket now.. =) Let's see how this continues, will replace a bit and upload a new pic.. Actually better with only ts 3000 because of summer. 😊(a degree cooler) defoliated plants
