The plant has really jumped in size 20 inches I have started out using 1.25mls (Dutch nutrients bloom a/b) per L using 2 gallons of water each watering and letting water drain checking the ph of the drainage water as well and it's the same ph going in as going out 6.2

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.

March 7, 2023 Skywalker OG Day 45 Height: 34.5" DLI: 45 (below top) Wedding Glue Day 38 Height: 9.5" DLI: 25 Going into week 6, I expect to see massive bud production from Skywalker OG. She looks great and has a ton of bud sites and is stacking beautifully. She has also started her Bloom nutrients. I use Fox Farm Tiger Bloom. Wedding Glue should be stretching this week as well. She will certainly fill out even more and I'll definitely have to defoliate one more time. Everything looks great on her. Beautiful lush green and great form. Definitely will be super bushy. Then there is that clone I made from Skywalker OG. It rooted and seems super healthy. I planted her in a 1/4 gallon nursery bag with the 50/50 Fox Farm mix. So she is planted and living in the tent now. I'm going to die if I get a nice cola out of this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 55.3% VPD: 1.19 kPa March 8, 2023 Not much going on today. Skywalker OG has some great internodal spacing. Looking great! Wedding Glue got a few more leaf snips. Opened the canopy right up again. Clone... Nope! She gone! I was mistaken. No rooting. Oh well. Grow System Environment: Temp: 71.9° RH: 55.1% VPD: 1.17 kPa March 9, 2023 Lots of filling in last night from Skywalker OG. I had to take a few leaves off that were directly covering bud sites. Nothing crazy though. Her buds are really well formed and growing rapidly. Wedding Glue hasn't stretched yet, but she is definitely looking about ready to. She is getting wider and I can only hope that she will shoot up during her stretch. She will be massive. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 54.6% VPD: 1.22 kPa March 10, 2023 Skywalker OG is stacking! The smell is still weak, but it smells great! Her buds are filling in quite nicely. I snipped 4 leaves that were becoming a problem for lower bud sites. Wedding Glue is looking great! Still slow growing, but robust. Branches are becoming nice and strong. She will definitely be able to hold a good amount of bud on them. She still has a bunch of huge fan leaves, but they seem to be helping her with developing a natural level canopy. She is starting to get a distinct smell from her branches and stems. Nothing super strong but a nice smell either way. Grow System Environment: kinda messy today. Temp: 71.8° RH: 55.9% VPD: 1.14 kPa March 11, 2023 Unfortunately I have run out of FishShit so I dropped it down to 1 ml per gallon for the rest of the week. Hopefully I can get more ASAP. Wedding Glue had a bump in her nutrient uptake from 1 ml to 2 ml for the week. Speaking of uptake, they have both gotten really thirsty in the past day. Both reservoirs were bone dry this morning. I have to keep a closer eye on the water levels. Finally, Wedding Glue is growing upward. Or at least starting to. Her branches are all reaching up now and most have broken through the canopy. I'll do another light defoliation when she really gets into the stretch. Just the biggest fan leaves. Maybe 10 total? Skywalker OG looks great! Trichomes are starting to develop all over the smaller fan leaves. Pistils are massive and stacking is getting impressive already. Most branches have some pretty good internodal spacing, especially through the top 8 inches or so, maybe 10? Either way, I hope to see some big and long colas for this lady. She also hasn't stopped growing either. Grow System Environment: Temp: 70.9° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.10 kPa March 12, 2023 Skywalker OG looks great! She's building those buds so nicely and she is starting to get a beautiful pungent scent. So far just gassy. Wedding Glue is getting bigger and bigger. I believe she just started pre-flower today. Hopefully the stretch will be here soon. Grow System Environment: Snowing Outside Temp: 71.4° RH: 54.4% VPD: 1.17 kPa March 13, 2023 Final day of week 6. Wedding Glue will get a defoliation at some point in the following week. She still hasn't started stretching, but she looks like she is getting ready to. Skywalker OG looks great as ever. She is definitely too close to the light at the top, but the rest of the canopy is comfortable at a DLI of 45. The top is around 68. Much too high. She looks great! Pistils are getting bigger and more abundant. Even on the lower bud sites, the pistils are huge and numerous. Great end to the week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.4° RH: 54.8% VPD: 1.20

Der Stretch neigt sich dem Ende zu und das Netz wurde entfernt – beide Pflanzen stehen jetzt stabil und frei im Raum. Nach dem Lösen des ScroG zeigt sich deutlich, wie kräftig die Struktur aufgebaut wurde: dicke Stämme, starke Seitentriebe und ein gleichmäßiges, volles Blätterdach. 24K Gold reagiert mit einem beeindruckenden Stretch-Finish. Ihre Haupttriebe sind kräftig und leicht über dem Restniveau, perfekt verteilt für maximale Lichtausbeute. Die ersten Blütenansätze sind klar zu erkennen – kleine weiße Härchen schießen an allen Spitzen hervor. Gelato 33 bleibt etwas gedrungener, aber sehr kompakt und buschig. Ihre Top-Sites sind gleichmäßig verteilt und zeigen ebenfalls die ersten Pistillen. Das entfernte Netz hat ihr Raum gegeben, sich frei nach oben zu entfalten. Eine gezielte Entlaubung wurde vorgenommen, um die unteren Bereiche zu öffnen und die Luftzirkulation zu optimieren. Das Laub ist tiefgrün und gesund – keine Mängel oder Verbrennungen sichtbar. Düngung & Werte: • 💧 Canna Coco A + B → 6 ml/l • 📈 EC: 1.6  pH: 5.8 • 🌡️ Temperatur: 25–26 °C • 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 50–55 % • 💨 Umluft: stark & konstant • 💦 Tropfbewässerung mit kontrolliertem Drain Der Fokus liegt nun voll auf Blütenbildung – die Pflanzen stehen stabil, haben den Stretch abgeschlossen und beginnen mit sichtbarem Blütenaufbau. Ein sehr kräftiger Start in die Hauptblütephase!

63 days!!!! The girl got a lot of sun this week, the air temperature also rose above 30°, so the girl has to be watered every day, all because it is a northern balcony project with not very good conditions, but in general, her current condition really satisfies me:) a real decoration of the balcony:):) good luck to everyone:)

Still on auto cruise. This girl is doing great. Can't believe mt first cannabonsi has turned out so well so far. I'm giving her Fox farm nutes now. Just giving her some of the nutes my other plants are getting. Flower stuff. I water till run off with the nute fixture pretty much everyday. The pot is so small she soaks it up Was worried about over watering but I've actually under watered several times. She is starting to swell up. Not going to be a heavy producer but it's all about the looks. Been a really fun grow. Think this is my new hobby now.

Colas are stacking, trichomes are piling on. This plant is doing over time with the bloom production. Just explosive through all phases. A real strong and hardy genetic all around. Shes got a nice sea of buds brewing up in her 2x2. Fucking sweet. I treated her with Dr zhymes as one of her last preventative sprays. With her explosive massively productive growth comes hunger. She has developed minor pk deficiencies. As I said last week I was upping the feed end of last grow week. Which I did... but it seems it was a touch late for her likeing. When the day to increase came she had minor signs already showing. With her next usual straight water I will also be adding a touch of the pk booster. Getting close to the finish line to be chasing deficiencies... but should be able to ammend the light hunger lol. We shall see. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

I’ve got some curling going on. Have been trying to get temp humidity stable so I got a humidity controller and now run lights on timer 6 hrs off. Also my humidity gauge I used to set in the middle of the tent but I now put directly in the pot behind the plant and different readings. It’s one of those cheap humidity temp gauges that comes with led lights. Just need to get this curling thing down. 1 of the plants shows no curl so maybe it’s the fox farm soil is too hot. Or maybe that 1plant got better plant coverage, I’ve since adjusted the fan and may get another one.

Note : + jegliches Zubehör wird in der GermniationsWoche aufgelistet . Zeitraffer Videos folgen immer nachträglich. + videos werden so geschnitten das nur ein geschlossenes Zelt erscheint , ergo Fehlen paar reale Minuten (ca 1 Std) . + Feuerzeug ist 7.5cm hoch und 1.7cm breit + WEIHNACHTS ZEITRAFFER 2024- SPEZIAL HINZUGEFÜHGT !!! Ich hab keine Ahnung was es wiegt , da ich keine Zugwage hatte. Ich hoffe die Bilder geben ungefähr wieder was es wohl werden wird . Eigentlich hab ich nur gegossen und gedüngt, den Rest hat der Zwerg selber gemacht. Hätte nie gedacht soviel aus dem Zwerg zu bekommen. Update : hochgerechnet waren es 550g nass. Getrocknet : 99g mit Popkorn Buds aber weitgehenst von Stängeln befreit bzw jede knospe einzelnt abgeschnitten, ausser bei den TopBuds .

Dear Diary This week was uneventful nothing to write, same treatment as the week before, exept I added some Advanced nutrients " BigBud" to the mix. It contains phosphorus andpotassium and is used during week 2 through 4 of the bloom phase. EC still around 1.3-1.4.
