Всем привет! Эта неделя началась с того, что мне пришлось удалить штук 20 веерных листьев, потому что растение перестало вмещаться в бокс. Правда к концу недели все вернулось на круги своя. Полностью перешли на питание во время цветения. Ко всему прочему начали болеть листья. Пока не разбирался что к чему, но есть подозрения на нехватку кальция и магния, так как я перестал их давать. Сегодня полил обильно Cal-Mag, посмотрим будет или не будет прогрессировать. Стретч замедлился, но все еще продолжается. Даю 50000 люксов на верхушки растения, это примерно 90 ватт. Та мутация о которой рассказывал ранее, где шишка начала расти прям из устья листа - все почти также, прогресса нет. Но вот обнаружилась другая мутация - полиплоидия. Одни из основных веток, в самом начале, была не аккуратно загнута и получила легкий надлом. Этот самый надлом и запустил полиплоидную мутация. Я видел до этого, что листья и боковые ветки растут как-то не симметрично, но особого внимания не обращал. Единственное, что давно заметил, так интересный нарост у одной из больших веток - он какой-то продолговатый и сверху, а не по всему периметру. И вот вчера заметил, что одна из шишек растет не вверх, а вширь. Стал внимательно изучать всю ветку и понял, что она сама по себе какая-то не симметричная: у основания ветки 3 листа, при чем расположены они на разных уровнях, шишки тоже растут не симметрично, ствол со странным не симметричным узором, а наверху шишка двойная. Кажется дальше шишка будет расширяться все больше и больше. В общем каждый гровер рано или поздно сталкивается с какой-либо мутация. Я вот за раз столкнулся с двумя. Интересно будет понаблюдать что будет дальше. Спасибо что заглянули. Всем большой большой удачи и везения!

28.10. Progress Overview • Eight days in, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 plants are showing steady recovery after the early topping on Day 4. • Growth momentum has returned — new shoots are visible at the main nodes, and side branching is beginning to expand. • The overall impression: slightly slowed by topping stress, but still on track for a healthy vegetative rhythm. ⸻ Post-Topping Recovery • The plants clearly felt the cut — minor stress signs visible (slight leaf curl and slower new growth). • However, the color remains strong, and all tops are pushing new growth tips already. • This brief recovery dip is expected after early topping and should stabilize completely within the next few days. • Once the new shoots strengthen, canopy management and gentle LST can begin. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips issue hasn’t disappeared entirely — still visible, but very minimal. • Continuous counter-measures are in place to keep the population suppressed. • So far, the balance seems under control, though full eradication will take consistent attention. • No major new damage spots seen — a positive sign that the preventive strategy is working. ⸻ BioTabs Performance • The BioTabs organic system continues to hold its promise: stable nutrition, no burn, no deficiency. • Even under light stress, the plants show resilience — a good indicator of strong microbial activity and root health. • The living-soil dynamic keeps everything buffered and calm, helping recovery without any liquid feed adjustments. ⸻ Notes & Outlook • Next focus: allow the plants to fully bounce back before applying any further training. • Maintain airflow and humidity control to discourage pest rebound. • If the recovery trend continues, Week 2 should close with a well-structured, evenly topped canopy ready for shaping. ⸻ 🌱 Day 8 Summary: Mild topping stress visible, but recovery underway. Thrips presence minimal and managed. The BioTabs system keeps everything stable — resilience and structure are returning fast, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 still shows solid potential moving into full Week 2. ———————————- ——————————— 01.11. Progress Overview • The vegetative phase officially comes to an end — today marks the transition into flowering. • The light cycle was switched from 18/6 to 12/12, meaning tomorrow begins Flower Day 1. • Overall, the run looks solid: strong structure, healthy color, and good vitality, with only minor pH adjustments needed. ⸻ Soil & pH Situation • Current soil pH measured at 5.7, slightly below the ideal range. • Early signs of a calcium lockout were noticed, but detected in time before major impact. • Corrective measures are underway to bring the medium back up to 6.3, the target zone for optimal nutrient uptake. • Adjustments are being made gradually to avoid disturbing the microbial activity sustained by the BioTabs system. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips and general pest presence are now almost completely gone. • Continuous preventive work has paid off — the situation is under firm control. • No new damage visible; foliage remains clean and healthy. • This is the most stable pest status since the start of the run — a clear sign that the reset and preventive routine were effective. ⸻ Plant Condition • Plants remain strong and compact after early topping; internodes uniform and canopy even. • Minor signs of stress linked to the low pH, but overall vigor remains high. • Once the pH correction stabilizes, calcium uptake should normalize and growth will accelerate again. ⸻ BioTabs System Performance • The BioTabs organic feeding system continues to demonstrate resilience and balance. • Even under suboptimal pH, the living-soil biology buffered the stress effectively — no burn, no deficiency spiral. • Root zone remains active, and microbial life appears to be compensating for the short-term nutrient block. ⸻ Outlook • Focus for the next few days: confirm that pH correction holds steady and monitor for the start of the stretch phase. • Expecting visible early flowering development within 3–5 days after the 12/12 switch. • The goal is now to maintain environmental stability and airflow as the plants begin vertical growth. • With pests under control and the soil balance returning, the bloom phase starts under good conditions. ⸻ 🌸 Day 12 Summary: Slight pH imbalance (5.7) addressed and under correction, calcium uptake soon to normalize. Thrips nearly eradicated — pest management finally stable. The 12/12 light cycle has begun, marking Flower Day 1 tomorrow. A clean, controlled start into bloom for SuperBuffCherry #26.

Everything is still alive thankfully and smells fuckin tremendous. The pictures were taken on day 49 or 50. I'll probly start flushing some of them over the next week the citradellic are lookin close. They kinda all look close even tho I expected some 70 dayers with the mostly sativa crosses but I gotta get in there and check the trichs. Got all the pics I have up, I realized I didnt have any full plant pics of 2, and minimal of 3 so next feed I'll try to get some and next week I'll make sure I get alot of good ones. I feel like I should start the flush soon this strain seems to finish very quick theres already a good amount of amber trichs at day 50.

Hey Growers, end of week 11 from seed Ran into an issue this week, my ph meter broke and I had to purchase a different model at a local hydroponics store because It was feeding time. If I wanted the same ph meter I would have to order it online, I couldn't afford to have the plant wait another day or 2 For feeding. This new ph meter gave me different readings as to the old one. I have a record of the amount of nutrients I feed it everytime, for example with the old ph meter after adding nutrients to the water, ph meter would read 4.5 - 5.0, ill add 7-10 drops of ph up and it would rise to 6.1 - 6.3. With the new ph meter after adding nutrients to the water, ph reads 4.0 and i have to add 15 - 25 drops of ph up so the Ph goes up to 6.1, I calibrated the new one and ran different tests with different liquids and it seems to be pretty accurate, The old one cost me $14 compared to the new one which cost me $60. Will continue to use the new meter and hope the plant adapts to the new ph Levels, so far I see less orange on the leaf tips Colas are getting thicker, its been a slow flowering process for this plant, looks like its growing dense buds. Smell is a bit stronger, it used to smell weird but its now slowly smelling better 🍋 ⛽️ No amber in trichomes yet. Increase in orange hairs on the buds Increase in red stems, will decrease light intensity for 5-6 hours QUESTIONS when should I begin flushing?

La transplantation a eu lieu ce matin . Assie la plante sur un eau lit de dynomico Elle se porte à merveille et est en pleine santé. Les latéral on presque déjà dépasser la principal depuis que j'ai topper la principal .. Je me répète mais les FF de fastbuds semble debtres bonne qualiter. Bien hâte de voir les fleurs dans quelque semaine

Moin moin ihr lieben! Diese Woche war auch wieder nicht viel los tägliches biegen und binden hab ich am Sonntag 05.03.23 das letzte mal gemacht (somit eingestellt) und die Damen dürfen nach oben auf steigen (liegt daran das ich wirklich kein platzt mehr habe um zu weben) aber der stretch ist noch nicht wirklich zurück gegangen und der Platz nach oben wird bald zur Mangel ware. Naja drückt mir die Daumen das der stretch bald vorüber geht und das alles hin haut. Habe am 08.03.23 also an Tag 21 nach Umstellung den ersten compost Tee angesetzt der dann Anfang der neuen Woche also Woche 4 nach Umstellung oder um genau zu sein am 09.03.23 vergossen wird ansonsten gibt es nicht viel zu sagen...... Euch allen glitzer nuggetz, zur ernte ich wünsche! 🖖 Edit:habe schon die ersten Bilder für den Kompost Tee rein gesetzt nächste Woche dazu mehr

Friday nov 4: So 5 days after the week 12 update (today), i flushed her with 30 liter pure rainwater and afterwards poured 10 liter with only ripen @650ppm ph6.2 trough the medium this is like a waterchange. Now i let her go for about a week or 10 days and water with the ripen everyday, the first runoff is a bit lower (around400ppm) but this will increase everyday I will put more pictures sunday when we really reached the 13 week mark. The pictures with the red text are from today (week 12 day5) So she will be cut down at exactly week 14. I have let her go a bit longer then normal to see if i can bump the potency She also vegged in colder temperatures so she might have slowed down there. For now she looks at the right stage for the ripen the buds are rockhard on top and very swollen a bit foxtail from the “overdrive” last weeks. Anyway this was the grow guys, see u at the harvest

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.
