Hey everyone at week 4 know and wow have these girls grown early this week I applied some LST and all took really well to say it was my first time trying this

its week 3 of flowering and all 4 plants went trough the early stages very well 💚 two plants are building up frost already, i am pretty sure this will be the ones, i'll keep. i took clones before the light flip, so no need to re-veg those beauties 🌱

Day 73 ~ Plant 1 is looking great and hopefully will be ready to harvest by the end of the week. Been checking the trichomes and while most are getting milky white, there are still a couple sites on the plant where I find clear trichomes. Plant 2 seems to be about a week or two behind the first plant...I will give plant 2 their final Nutes tmrw and then begin to flush. From reading about this strain it seems like it should take around 90 days from seed to harvest. So I would think plant 1 is running a little ahead of schedule and plant 2 is right on time. Day 75 ~ Both plants looking and smelling amazing! I was hoping to be harvesting the first plant by this weekend, but she is still growing and her trichomes are still not all milky and I haven't yet to find an amber one. So it might be another week or so before I can start drying her out.

Eccoci qui... Siamo quasi alla fine del cultivo, odore, resina e colore ci sono. Attendiamo solo la maturazione delle cime che richiederà 1/2 settimane.... NON VEDO L'ORAAAA... Seguiranno aggiornamenti, grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Así que semana 13 y quan hermosos podrían estar mis superlativos cultivars. Qué hay que decir de algo así?!? Hoy he decidido a colgar un vídeo para que tengáis muy presente las cosas...y si, es impresionante lo que es la cobertura de azúcar y algodón que hojas y super cogollos tienen. Y casi todo sale a la perfección, por qué estamos en el apex del invierno con temperaturas exteriores que hoy están sobre los 17ºC de máxima y 3ºC (!!!) de mínimo...la humedad es alta y si logramos tener los niveles en 70% en interior es un mal menor, por qué afuera hoy la humedad incluso con sol está sobre los 90% (mi ciudad está rodeada por uno de los mayores rios de la Península Ibérica; de la costa atlantica y de un enorme pinar y aquí los 90% de humedad relativa es algo muy normal, así que hay que tirar del deshumificador y intentar que en interiores basar las tasas sobre los 70/75% y no es perfecto, pero para mí, mucho mejor que estas tasas de humedad relativa en floración, es poder tener una temperatura interior en luces encendidas sobre los 23ºC y eso para canabicas en invierno, es un regalo de la naturaleza. Os invito a que miréis la cobertura de algodón dulce que hay en las ramas y los super cogollos que los cultivars de Ripper me están dando...a la gente de Ripper, habrá que darles el Premio Nobel de los cultivos canábicos pues las genéticas de esta gente, que palabras hay para clasificar lo que esta gente está poniendo en el mercado...es que hay quien se gaste la friolera de millones en tener anunciado en casi todo lo que sea algo que tenga que ver con luces, semillas, sustratos y nutrientes...son lo que llamo "bancos McDonald's" esos que te colgan fotos de cogollos que se comen de colores y de formas inusuales y muchas veces se confirma la idea que lo que suena muy colorido y apetecible con luces y Photoshops, después en lo que a humo dice respecto, se queda a años luz. Ya es muy visible que hay una nítida maturación de los cogollos con algunos pistilos ya marrones y ámbar. Con eso se ha adecuado la alimentación para el empuje de "rippen" final y si echáis un vistazo a lo que se está propinando a los cultivars ya estamos con un PPM muy respectable (a un nivel muy alto - nunca menor a 1500 PPM, lo que significa que estamos con unas tasas de mS/cm elevadísimas y esto es una estrategia en mi opinión muy normal cuando entramos en recta final de cultivo y si hay que darle flush muy pronto y como mi procedimiento de flush es muy basado en llenar el tanque hidropónico con agua con algo de cloreto de sódio (la sal tiene la función osmótica de integrar los sales de NKP y otros macro y micro nutrientes que estén en exceso) y darle a igual en las últimas semanas el More Grams de Cannaboom y el Explota Cogollos de Agrobeta que también por fuerza de osmosis y por la elevadísima dosis de Dióxido de Potasio, no solo para integración de esta sal, pero por qué las concentraciones en esta proporción, si es verdad que contribuyen para el adensamiento de cogollos (más que darles tamaño y eso es lo que Agrobeta nos vende, pero quién conoce el "Explota Cogollos" sabe que más que el tamaño, lo que el sal de potasio hace es desidratar los cogollos y con eso el peso de los cogollos aumenta por la agregación de las resinas en los cogollos. Pues como veis, la alimentación final a la planta es basada en un auténtico bombazo del P y K y así para que tengáis algo presente la "alimentación" es sencillamente un aporte extremo de esos componentes vitales de la floración: el RedBoom de Cannaboom que es un multiplicador y indutor de floración masivo; el Mega PK 56-35 (que sin contar con alguna de las "bombas atomicas" de Grotek) es el mayor aporte de fósforo existente en el mercado; después el Terpenum que es un bioactivador que termina siendo redundante el aporte de potasio y también algo al que no se da mucho relieve pero es un elemento que en floración tiene un peso específico muy grande en la calidad final, el azufre que poco es hablado y que por ejemplo para la producción de THC es indispensable y la calidad del material está proporcionalmente relacionada con la presencia de azufre. Después como ya hablé el More Grams con esa función de "secado de agua" siendo llenado el espacio celular de agua con las resinas y terpenos. Y para final, algo se aporta un par de veces a la semana que para mí son importantes en este momento final de grow - el Explota Cogollos de Agrobeta y el aporte orgánico de Gold Green, que a igual que el Explota Cogollos basa su acción mucho más en el potasio que en el fósforo. En fin... más no hay que deciros y tan solo dejaros que por vosotros podáis comentar lo que vuestros sentidos, vos enseñen. Y para que tengáis algo único, os he dejado también una magnífica foto de microscopio con la floresta de glândulas de resina y terpenos para que las estructuras que le dan lo maravilloso a nuestra bella cannabis. El mundo microscopio nos enseña lo cuan increíble es la masa de nuestros grows... El Dios Jah está muy presente y seguro lo que está temporada de fotodependientes y lo que de manera extraordinaria, la gente de Ripper Seeds va perfeccionando hace años, resulta en estas maravillas botanicas y canábicas. El Dios Jah que nos guarde siempre de los peligros - desde el grow y a patógenos menos pensados en los momentos finales - desde hongos en el secado hasta un ataque como por ejemplo un compañero que cogió Phytophora en las últimas semanas y literalmente los cogollos se "pudrieron" (lo nunca visto y eso que le dije que tomara mucho cuidado con la retención de agua del flush...a veces cosas tontas te pueden hacer mandar a la basura todo el esfuerzo y trabajo de una temporada y hay que estar pendiente de detalles y más pedir siempre y si eres gente de fé como yo, que algo más alto pueda protegerte. Con ello terminamos otra semana y muy importante 420 siempre y mucho más ese abrazo verde donde quiera que estés. Disfruta el video y algumas fotos macro de las más impresionantes y me lo tomaré muy mal que no dejes tu like y tu comentario.

Runtz layer cake was a blast to grow. I really enjoy Runtz flavor and taste. The girl was big and wide. We love that always.no mold and no bug damage. She also had to problem with the cold.

Its finally harvest day.

The grow went well I didn't feed right I messed up on ph for a while but she grew she smells great she did better than I would have thought with how bad I did personally and I am gonna be happily smoking for a while.

Alright boy-o!!! let's flip the script and do some growing, put what I can out here and see what we get. One thing is for sure... Screw 12/12 from seed its not useful for me and I'm tired of the waste. Oh, and ApPAreNtLy if you don't prove grow skills as a new grower, people get butt hurt and it only goes downhill from there... so here we go this tents about to get full. Cheers! Thank you @marshydroeleen for the light and let's see what this light can do. That said, Let's talk set up. My 3x3 is powered by the MarsHydro TS1000 and is being cooled via air recirculation. This is achieved with my 4" ipower inline fan. Humidity isn't an issue for me by nature of climate. My tent temperatures are easily controlled simply by stopping air recirculation. It is dried out simply by restarting the fan. This is in pat due to running the driver external of the tent to provide a few degrees less in the tent. Humidity is increased by stoppage and this also increases the Temps very slightly until at about 78f. Now all of this would normally be a chore to keep track of, however my yardsale score ($80) included a Titan Controls Saturn 6 with the photocell addition makes this as easy as plugging it in. Now, if that score wasn't sweet enough it also included the co2 tank and valve to boot. This is currently set up and plumbed in the top of the tent. This won't be plugged in and operating until the first week of flower. Until then it's ready to go. I filled my sub irrigated 3.5gal planters with SUNSHINE company mix#4 with mycorrhizae and watered with 1/3gal of water from the tap. The transplant went smoothly and we will start watching this lady turn things back around. This will be a good show of what the strain has to offer. After a good thorough cleaning the tent is set and the ladies are in. There will be new ladies joining the tent in a few weeks but for now these ladies return to veg in peace. I hope to turn this nightmare of a run into a sponsorship worthy run. So cheers to the new challenge and let's get growing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsors @marshydroeleen and the MarsHydro company for the TS1000. @expertseeds thank you for the new genetics can't wait to smoke!

05.10.2022 - feed her with 5ml/lt connoisseur grow A-B. She seem happy with it! 06.10.2022 - a harf defolation applied. Clear all lower branches, nodes and leaves for to make her ready for bloom. Last touches before switch the bloom! 07.10.2022 - feed her with 2ml/lt connoisseur grow A-B. she is okay, growing for to be monster!

Day 10 I started to use the easy plus supplied by RQS, have noticed in the past few days that my intelligent fan doesn’t seem to be turning off in auto on the settings I have pre-installed, I did do a full tent move about on day 11 so I maybe could of done something then? hope this doesn’t turn into a long term issue, however fat banana is starting to grow nicely 🌱👍 I have a 2x2x5 spider farmer tent with 1 passive inlet vent that is always a 1/4 open My spider farmer intelligent fan is set at 80f and rh @ 60 for veg, I have a 6” fan that was set to go off every 30 minutes for 30 minutes on the hour during daylight hours and once for 30 mins every 90 mins during dark hours, that has changed slowly during the week to a point where yesterday I turned on constant during daylight hours and still at 30 mins every 2 hrs during the night and I am still using the personal mist humidifier that keeps the rh at a nice level anyway during this stage… My Viparspectra xs1500 was set at 22” at the beginning of the week at 60% this has changed throughout the week and is now set at 19” and around 87% My feeding pattern has been feed/water/dry day…repeat at 250ml Lights on 8am Lights off 2am Water/feed time 8:30am/9:30am *update 29th April: I have stopped using the Biobizz products in this grow, after properly reading up on all RQS products supplied and realising I’ve already mixed the easy boost pellets in the soil I’ve no need to use these products…hopefully this hasn’t affected my grow thus far, I don’t see any deficiencies as yet and don’t seem to be in a bad shape, she’s actually the tallest plant so far I’ve had in this stage 🤞

Solid start to flower for these ladies... Starting this grow diary now and filling in as much as I can from the ~8 weeks before this point. I'll keep updating from now 'til harvest. Struggling to keep the heat down so had to rig up a styrofoam cooler "AC" I found on YouTube, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpqUr6bEYOs Keeping the DIY CO2 generator running full blast while the lights are on and have some side-lighting led bars in the works that I'll have installed later this week. Drip system has been working great, dialed back the feedings so I don't overwater and can give the top layer of coco a chance to dry out a little bit. Heavy defoliation tomorrow to clean up the canopy...

Hey friends, we have hit day 26! Seemed like close to the right time to throw in some bloom nutes. I decided to add some carbs too. One pheno looks like it's budding already. Let's see how this plays out

Update week 4 Bloom

Noch keine Ideen. Es gibt aber einige Gedanken und Erfahrungswerte, die definitiv folgen werden. Einige Dinge haben mich sehr enttäuscht und in zwischen weiß ich auch warum.
