Day 43_________________________ - Decided to make the 12/12 shift due to my Caramelino growing enough to risk light burn if it doubles in size during flower. I have the light as high as I can safely put it in my tent with fans constantly on above the lights, and still only have 33” of space from the top leaves. - That being said, lots of LST will be used to fan out instead of up. - Flushed out the system completely this time. Before I would drain enough for the water pump to suck in air, but this time I filled with 50 gal of pH’ed water. Then I measured PPM. I stopped when the remainder of the water was 250PPM. Just a little richer than my tap water. Should have been doing this the entire time. Probably wouldn’t have had the nute burn spots that I was getting when I was 1400-1500 after half a week of the plant eating and drinking. Now is sitting just above 1000. I feel the plants will appreciate the break from over-nuting. Day 48______________________________ - plants are all loving the lower PPM numbers and pushing through the trellis net. - Plants are all drinking about 5 gallons every 3 or 4 days. Replenishing with pH’ed water when I notice a significant drop. - Two main shoots are becoming a pain to try to keep at the same level of all the others. LOTS of LST.

Update coming.

Hi liebe Community! 💚 Heute ist die erste Blütewoche in das Land gezogen Sie hat in der ersten Blütewoche einen moderaten Stretch von knappen 10 CM hingelegt. Der Wuchs ist sehr kräftig und die Pflanze bleibt bis jetzt sehr homogen. Außerdem habe ich nun nochmal die Sonnensegel zurückgeschnitten und die unteren Triebe auf etwas 1/3 der oberen Höhe zurück geschnitten, damit die Pflanze ihre kompaktere Wuchsform beibehält. Insgesamt ist die Pflanze sehr Vital und hat eine sehr schöne Wuchsform😉 Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind weiterhin am Optimum und Stabil: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 25°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 1,04 kPa ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

Doing things differently this time, going for a speed havrest. Didnt successfully clone any plants except #7 so this run is only bag seeds that i found and replanted 🤘 We will see how this goes! I have 10 #9, 10 #8, 10 #7, 4 #4, and 4 #1 Im only doing 4 of #1 and 4 because im pretty positive those are not the keepers but im giving them a chnave to shine and see what theg can do under the better light ans soil instead of cocoa

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio, or combination, of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates. These are/will be DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add-in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids) TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added-in larger, then smaller, ratios while the "Bloom Mix" concentrate will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely. The ppm and ratios will be listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 91/21 Replaced the small modified tomato ring with a full size 3 ring tomato support ring so I could support every branch. I made this decision on seeing a lot of my 90 degree breaks from yesterday as still mostly 90 degrees. I also removed the tape from around the split and placed a wire tie under that trunk to ensure it was secure. After that I also placed a tie on each cola split just past my breaks and another higher up as an upper support. VPD was great aagain today. 74F/55%RH/ Auto ILV but raised the fan setting from 4 to 5 so it didnt have run as long to get it back into range. PPFD was a bit off yesterday and today from all of the sudden changes, But I raised my lights today and returned the settings to 750 max and 550 lowest. This meant that I needed to move my fans as well. They are now on medium setting and all were checked for movement to as many branches as they can hit. Day 92/22 Watered for salt flush today. Used 3 gallons of purified water at 7.1ph water no additives. PPM was about 70 after ph'd. Ended up with ~ 1.25 gallons of runoff that showed 5.95 and 5.98ph on two meters. Top soil tested at 6.44, 6.63, 6.36, and 6.47ph for an avg of 6.475. Runoff also showed 1540 ppm VPD was controlled with having the door open for a few hours. Temps and humidity are 72F and about 50%RH with the door open, and about 75F and 55%RH with it closed. ILV still on auto fan setting 5. PPFD was adjusted to 820 max and 600 lowest - I used 1 hour total of IR at mainlight on/off with 15 minutes before and after switch. She got another 45 minutes of UV today as well. I plan to increase to 1 hour tomorrow. Day 93/23 Week 3 of flower and most all is well. I did however find some light burn. I say light burn because the only conditions that changed was 15 minutes more UVA today and the spots are on the leaves closest to the light. Feed yesterday was plain ph water and it improved both the topsoil and bottom runoff ph so I dont think it's a nute issue. My solution is to take control pics and reduce UVA back to 45 for another day or two to see if the condition persists or advances. Otherwise PPFD was about 820 down to 600. I used 1 hour of UV and 1 hour of IR at lights on/off Other than that it was a lazy football day while I just leave her alone. VPD was normal with humidity easy to control at 55%RH or less and temps ranging from 74-76F during the day and down to 66-68F at night. Day 94/24 Checked in on "light burn" control leaves and took pictures. My analysis is to reduce lights a little more so now max is 795ish. Went ahead with 45 minutes of UV light at mid day and 1 hr IR on the same standard I have been using. Fans still on medium and since I dont believe the spots are related, I plan to leave them on that setting. Overall I dont see much need to change anything at the moment with the spots not getting much worse or at least not that noticeable other than what has happened already and I already reduced the lights a little. If I can identify any more new spots today or tomorrow I will reduce by another 25ppfd. And if not, then the next day I will try 1 hour of UVA again. Temps and Humidity are controlled at the same 74-76F and 55%RH or lower. My plan is to keep RH that level throughout and possibly try to reduce again to as close to 45% as I can get. (edited) Day 95/25 Reviewed suspected light burn and didnt see any progression either yesterday or today against my control pics from the day before. So I went with running UVA for 1 hr at mid day again today. Still using 1 hr IR on the same standard I have been using. VPD was good today with same settings of 73-76F and 55% or lower RH. Day 96/26 No issues to report today. She still has what looks like light burn on the older upper leaves, but doesnt really look to be getting worse and the lights are not getting brighter by growth anymore so I plan to leave them where they are and back them down if I see it get more progressive. Conditions in the tent are the same as yesterday... like little to no vertical growth in two 2 days and no need to change anything. I 'do' adjust the ties daily to ensure they are not creating a pressure point. Most aren't even supporting anything and some are just pushing the cola back or out from others. PPFD is 800 max and lowest is about 580. I ran 1 hr UVA midday with the same 1 hr IR at 30/30 with main light schedule that I have been running. Temps steady. 73-76F in the day and 66-68F after lights out. RH% is 55 or less with the fan on auto. 97/27 Watering day. Started by testing /calibrating meters. Used 2.5 gallons of de-chlorinated tap water with starting ppm of 227, added ~700ppm of 100% Bloom Mix concentrate (actually 686ppm added) and ph balanced feed to ~7.0 tested on two meters. Fed until bottom drip began and got ~7cups in runoff after about 10 minutes of drain. Runoff produced 2 meter tests of 5.8ph with 1520ppm. Top soil was tested 4 times for an avg of 6.3752. Next feed will be sooner, thinking like in 4 days instead of 5 and I can adjust if she seems to dry out again. I'll be looking for ~1/2 gallon of runoff to estimate next feed from. Light burn doesnt seem to be getting any worse. UV lights are doing 1 hr a day, midday, for the rest of the week and then I will increase a little per day each week until harvest. IR is still doing the same settings until harvest as well. 1 hour with 15/15 before and after main light schedule and 1 hr total. VPD is controlled with no issues of temps or RH exceeding set limits. 73-76F and 65-68F overnight with no more than 55%RH while the ILV is set to auto.

Nice smoke, still currently curing but will become better with age of course. A strong indica as described and exactly what I was looking for after smoking a bit of Sativa for a while, perfect for a quiet night in chilling on a Friday or long day of work. Would recommend for sure.

Week 5 of flower and stretch has been excessive in these F1 testers. Buds have been slow to develop and supercroppibg of 3 tops was necessary to maintain canopy consistency. The hollow stems are a good sign of things to come but I will say I was hoping for much better bud development. Perhaps unrealistic with this sativa dominant cross but still. I guess as long as the buds are fire, we’re prepared to deal with less overall yield. The system continues to perform admirably. It’s one major drawback is having to recirculate through an additional drainage pump. The cheap bilge pump we wired into the tray failed and flooded out a portion of the basement - my fault really as I knew the pump was crap and should’ve changed it earlier. Still can’t get past how much more simplistic a gravity dependent system is but despite that - I have no complaints about this equipment and it will get regular use regardless of any future set up changes. Alls good in da hood y’all👌🤟 Strain details She’s a mix of a particularly strong Northern Lights, crossed with a Spicy Bitch sativa hybrid. The hope is that we’ll be able to combine the overtly narcotic effects in the NL and mellow it out somewhat with the quality daytime sativa effects found in the SB. Both strains feature numerous grower qualities. Both parents possessed vigour and resiliency, the SB particularly colourful in late flower. These beans were the product of a shotgun breeding run that presented an unexpected opportunity so there’s quite a bit of testing that should flow from the various F1’s we’ve produced.

Sooo I also harvested 1 out of the 2 Lemon Cherrys made some beautiful fresh frozen bubble out of her only got 15g out but I take it

Throughout the week, I give compost tea, and fermented plant juice once each ^^ Hope you guys have a wonderful day today ^^v *** Please Like, comment & share *** Highly appreciated -----/-----<@

She is really starting to smell now. Hairs are turning orange and shes looking great. I just got a USB Microscope and checked the trichomes and they are looking mostly clear with some cloudy,

One watering with Overdrive

End of week 5 - Day 35 On day 33 I switched the lights off for 24 hours and back on to 12/12 yesterday so they are now officially on a flowering light schedule. This week has seen another massive boost in growth. Conditions pretty much unchanged from last week however I have changed the layout in the tent. As this is my first grow it's been trail and error up to now but I think I've got it pretty much bang on. Moved the humidifier above the smart pots so they aren't getting any moisture other than the feed. Also moved all the plants further down the tent and away from the heater. I've added a video this week so you guys can get a proper look at the set up and advise me accordingly. Includes the air moving fan and natural Co2 generator. Lights have been moved around the filter so that they can be kept at 18" from the tops of the plans. I have had to move them 3 times already this week as some dominant colas are shooting up. Final training of tallest colas happened tonight. I topped the tallest 2 on each plant hoping that they now wont stretch too high during the first 3 weeks of flower. Head space is a bit limited in my tent. I think as of next week they may benefit from some defoliation lower down but I'm hesitant to do too much at this stage while they transition from veg to flower. Nutes wise I've now introduced BioGreen X-Bloom as per my feed chart. They seem to like a slightly stronger feed than the chart suggests at around 0.1 - 0.2 higher. Run off EC and PH has been within 0.3 again so I'm taking this as a nice equilibrium. I have been feeding on a wet and dry schedule of every 3 days while in veg. I'm led to believe that at this point every other day would now be needed and after 3 weeks switch to every day feed? As always your guys feedback would be great as each part of the grow is completely new to me. Hoping I've got things right up to now and confident these girls will produce some really nice buds! See you next week!

Just flip the light schedule to 12/12. Reverse osmosis watering ph 6.2
