one of the plants was eaten by snails 😕☹️ i have a spare of the same strain that hatches in pellets

08.08.: Blütetag 1 Heute habe ich nur noch die Triebe unter das Netz gebogen, damit alle ungefähr auf einer Höhe sind. Da der Platz nun sehr gut durch beide Pflanzen ausgefüllt ist, ist der Moment gekommen die Blüte einzuleiten. Die PBB hat schon so viele Stempel, sodass es so aussieht, als wäre sie schon in der Blüte. Daher denke ich, dass die PBB nicht lange für die Blüte brauchen wird. Wir werden es sehen. 12.08.: Blütetag 5 In den letzten Tagen seit Umstellen des Lichtzyklus und Einleiten der Blüte, sind beide Pflanzen ein gutes Stück über das Netz hinaus gewachsen. Aktuell gibt es nicht viel zutun. Leider sind einige Thripse auf den Pflanzen, aber ich habe bereits Raubmilben ausgebracht. Hoffentlich können sie die Thripse etwas in Schach halten. Außerdem habe ich die Bewässerungsdauer auf 20min, wenn das Licht angeht und nach 6h Beleuchtungsdauer, gestellt. Falls das nicht ausreichen sollte kann ich immer noch händisch nachgießen oder die Bewässerung anpassen. Den Beleuchtungsrhythmus habe ich so gewählt, dass abends um 10 Uhr das Licht angeht und morgens um 10 Uhr aus, damit die Lampe nicht während den heißen Sonnenstunden brennt. 13.08.: Blütetag 6 Die Stretchphase ist bei beiden Pflanzen noch voll im Gange. Aktuell wachsen sie durchschnittlich ca. 6cm am Tag. Ich bin gespannt, bei welcher Höhe sie ihren Stretch beenden. Das nächste Update gibts dann in Blütewoche 2.

Starting off strong this week 💪😎 the left plant is looking so good and also the buds on the left plant are so nice and big 😋 the right plant is showing yellowing but that is fine because she will be turned into bubblehash anyways 😏 happy growing all!😎💚✌️

This girl really is coming along beautifully her buds are bulking and she producing more of a smell every day! This week I have been diluting/flushing the reservoir by just adding water at ph 6.2 before I do a full reservoir change for the full flush. Im hoping to see her really bulk up during these last few weeks. Happy growing 🌱

Started a little training, cut down the older fan leaves and topped up. I’m adding a tiny bit of root stimulator cause changed the pot size last week so it will to promote a faster growth. Gotta keep this lady low cause the box is quite small. So excited 😆

Buenas chicos, ya empezo lo que nos gusta, la floración, y en este caso iniciamos con un 55% de grow proline y 45% de bloom, hago esto porque no me gusta que amarillen temprano, aun no le pongo el co2 ya que pienso aplicarlo a partir de la 2 semana, me toca hacer un poco de poda de hojas grandes y debajo de la malla pero por lo demás todo va bien, vamos a ver si sacamos buenos cogollos con este cultivo. Gracias por su apoyo a todos

Week 7/1/26 - 7/7/26

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.

- Day 36 First week of flowering now, the first small white pistils on the flowering sites have appeared! Did a full water renewal with 5.8 pH. Trying to get some direct light to those lower flowering nodes by tucking leaves as much as possible but had to cut some off as well. Day 37 Just quickly checked water today, she's drinking well and pH went up to 6.2, gonna wait till tomorrow to see if I need to bring it back down. Day 38 After messing around with the light intensity and distance of the light I finally got her praying 🙏 When I checked the pH I noticed it went down to 5.8 from yesterdays 6.2, which is..odd?? Or is it because she is consuming all the nutrients in the water... gonna have to do some research on this. I added a liter of water to top up the reservoir again and set the pH to 6.0. Day 40 She drank up almost the whole bucket after 2 days 😅. I just did a full water renewal with new nutrients, pH'd at 6.0 and a more bloom focused feed. Flowers are starting to set in nicely now and still have quite a bit of stretching happening. Day 41 She is still drinking a lot. pH went up to 6.3, so decided to pH it back to 5.9, also added about 800ml's of water to the off the reservoir. Removed some fan leaves on the fastest growing branches to slow them down a bit and let the smaller branches catch up. Day 42 Seems like she is drinking even more now, also saw a bitch stretch happen since yesterday. Had to top up the bucket with about 1.4 liters of water, which I pH'd to 6. Also removed some of the lower fan leaves and flowering sites that were just not getting any light.

The Oasis Project | Week 11: Veg Strain: Durban Poison Quartet (DP1, DP4, DP5, and DP6) Container: 25-Gallon Fabric Bags (Elevated on wheeled dollies) Method: Organic Soil / DIY Automated Halo Irrigation Overview & Environment We have officially crossed into Week 11 of vegetative growth, and the backyard deck is officially looking like a botanical engineering lab. The High Plains weather is starting to test the environment, but the quartet is locked in, vibrant green, and praying hard to the Colorado sun. Key Milestones This Week 1. The Automated Manifold is Live 🛠️ The biggest victory of the week was getting the DIY irrigation manifold completely hooked up, pressure-balanced, and dialed in. The Setup: Custom green hose "halos" are wrapped around the base of each individual plant inside the rims of the 25-gallon fabric bags. The Run: Clocked our first official initial run this week. The manifold pushed an excellent, steady volume of water, completely saturating all four massive containers in just **15 minutes**. The Baseline: This uniform edge-to-edge moisture spread is exactly what we need to ensure the organic soil mix stays perfectly charged without leaving dry pockets. No more manual water lugging for my back! 2. Air Gaps & Root Pruning 💨 With the 25-gallon bags lifted entirely up off the deck floor on mobile furniture dollies, we have a perfect air gap underneath. The Impact: Thanks to the low humidity and steady wind on the Eastern Plains, these elevated pots are acting as massive evaporative cooling systems. The 360-degree airflow is drying the bags out from the outside-in and bottom-up. The Strategy: This is triggers natural air-pruning at the bottom, forcing the plants to stop circling their roots and instead blast out a massive web of lateral feeder roots higher up in the rich organic mix. We're keeping a close eye on the bag weights over the next 48 to 72 hours to map out our new watering frequency. 3. Plant Training & Structural Breakdown (Featuring DP5) 📏 The quartet is responding beautifully to the first topping session and ongoing structural training. Current Height: Took the tape measure out to the deck today—**DP5** is sitting stout and muscular right at the 12.5 to 13-inch mark. Canopy Architecture: By pulling the lower branches outward with precise tie-downs secured to the bag rims and supporting them with bamboo stakes, the core of the plants is completely open. Sun & Wind Defense: Node spacing is incredibly tight, building thick, rugged main stalks that split beautifully at the topping nodes. This low, wide profile is exactly what we want to withstand the heavy plains winds. Every single lower growth tip now has direct access to high-altitude UV light, transforming them into future dominant vertical colas. Next Steps The bamboo frameworks are built, and the trellis netting is already waiting in the wings directly behind the deck setup. We’re letting the quartet digest their big drink from the manifold for the next 2 to 3 days to see how they explode horizontally. Once they stack a few more inches and fill out the width of the bags, we'll start weaving them into the screen! -Keep growing and stay mindful! ✌️ Update 5.26.26: The quartet recieved their first full strength nutrients since making the move to the 25 gallon bags. 3 gallons per plant with full nutrients is a hell of a task, but the girls will be happy. PH corrected level of 6.0. 1215 PPM

Grow Diary Update – Lemon Haze 🍋 So langsam geht es Richtung Ende. Am Samstag oder Sonntag werde ich die linke von den beiden Pflanzen ernten. Die kleinere lasse ich noch etwas länger stehen, da sie bei der Bud-Entwicklung noch gut nachlegt und sicherlich noch etwas Potenzial hat. Generell bin ich wirklich überrascht, wie stark die Buds in den letzten Wochen noch aufgebaut haben. Gerade gegen Ende haben die beiden Lemon Haze nochmal ordentlich Masse zugelegt. Außerdem habe ich gestern schon die **Seeds für den nächsten Run bestellt: Mimosa x Orange Punch Auto von Barney’s Farm. Davon werde ich zwei Pflanzen starten, allerdings erst, wenn die beiden Lemon komplett fertig sind und das Zelt wieder frei ist. Die Runtz Auto lasse ich einfach nebenher weiter wachsen und schaue mal, was daraus wird. Der Geruch der Lemon Buds ist inzwischen richtig stark geworden – sehr citrus-lastig, genau so wie man es von einer Lemon erwartet. 🍋 Happy Growing Growmies 🌱

ok guys so its day 42 for the FastBuds CBD strain and she is growing just great! i decided to do a video update since we are starting to begin Flower but she is still stretching. check out the Video for more info!

Diese Woche fange ich an die Beleuchtung schrittweise auf 12/12 Std. zu reduzieren indem ich die Beleuchtung um 50 Minuten pro Tag reduziere und so die Pflanzen langsam in die Blüte schicke. Auch werde ich die LED-Lampe langsam auf die vollen 200W drehen. Leider hat die Gorilla gelbe Blattspitzen bekommen, was ich aber erstmal weiter beobachten werde. Bin mir noch nicht ganz sicher ob die Beleuchtung zu doll ist, der pH-Wert nicht stimmt oder ich zu stark gedüngt habe. Zum Ende der Woche habe ich die Blätter zurück geschnitten und die Äste weiter nach außen gebogen.
