Overview: In the second week of our grow diary "Schroedinger's Plants," the Tropicana Cookies, Gorilla Zkittlez, and Apple Strudel strains have shown varied yet overall positive growth under controlled conditions. Each strain continues to progress well, with interventions to address minor issues. Plant Specifics: 1. Tropicana Cookies: Growth: The plant height increased from 8 cm to 11.5 cm throughout the week, showing healthy growth. Health: Plant health remained robust, marked by the continued green color stabilization and decrease in vein thickness initially noted. Interventions: Regular doses of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt were administered to maintain nutrition and micronutrient levels. A notable treatment for fungus gnats (Trauermücken) using nematodes was applied early in the week, which required adjustments in watering to facilitate effective nematode deployment. Environmental Conditions: The environment was stable with slight increases in daytime and nighttime temperatures towards the end of the week. 2. Gorilla Zkittlez: Growth: Progressed from 7 cm to 9.5 cm in height by the end of the week. Health: Similar to Tropicana Cookies, this strain exhibited signs of early nutrient issues (thickening of veins and lighter green in new growth) that were effectively managed, leading to improved color and reduced vein prominence. Interventions: Application of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt continued, adjusting as needed based on plant response. Plans to increase PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density) were made to encourage stronger growth responses. Challenges: Like the other strains, initial signs of fungus gnat (Trauermücken) were addressed with nematodes. 3. Apple Strudel: Growth: Showed a steady increase from 6.5 cm to 9 cm. Health: Initial challenges with vein thickness and lighter green patches were managed through similar nutrient adjustments as the other strains. Interventions: Consistent nutrient management with Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt helped stabilize growth and coloration. Caught up with the others by the end of the week, after initially lagging slightly behind in growth. Environmental Notes: The plant environment was kept stable, mirroring the conditions of the other strains with slight temperature increases noted towards the week's end. General Observations and Actions: Pest Management: The introduction of nematodes early in the week helped manage the presence of Trauermücken across all plants, a necessary step to prevent infestations. Nutrient Management: The consistent use of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt across all strains helped address minor nutrient imbalances seen as vein thickening and changes in leaf coloration. Environmental Control: Slight increases in temperature and adjustments in humidity levels were monitored to ensure optimal growth conditions. These adjustments were crucial as the plants transition from seedling to more mature vegetative stages. Conclusion: The second week showed promising growth and stability across all strains. While minor issues were quickly addressed through targeted interventions, the overall health of the plants remained strong. Moving forward, the focus will be on maintaining this momentum and carefully monitoring environmental parameters and plant responses to optimize growth. The increase in PPFD will be particularly interesting to follow in terms of its impact on growth rates and overall plant vigor. In week 3 we'll also start with LST-Training the Ladies. Cheers,

* harvest: day 134 total. Day 64 of flower. 19 weeks total * dry bud yield: 128gram * Appearance: gorgeous blue/green/purple'ish buds that shine like a diamond * Bud density: 9/10 * Aroma : when you open the jar a gas smell mixed with orange bubbelgum hits you in the face * Taste : orange zest bubbelgum with a strong gas taste * Potency : 8/10 * Kind of high: a nice sativa dominant feeling. With a lot off medicinal effects. It takes your pain away asap and it relaxes the musscles. Also makes you feel happy. * Colour of thrichs at time of harvest: 30% amber 70% milky * Drying time: 10 days in the dry tent, 12 days in the jar * Length of buzz: 2 -3 hours * Good comments: the most beautifull plant i ever grew, really impressed with these genetics. Such a good pain killer and anti depressant! The buds where almost pure oil when i was trimming so i would really recommend it for pressing or hash making. Wil grow this again for sure, its by far the best thing i ever grew

Topping

Smell like 🥦🍋 but like skunky little bit pungent smell kick good looks good just look at the video 😉love that orange bud looking colour

I applied a defoliation now on the second week to get that the light gets to every bud site,let's see how this wonderful little bush performs.

👌It’s progressing, slowly but surely for my 4 young banana krumble 👶🍌 For this grow, I plan to let each plant grow with a large main bud, without topping. Next week I will cut the lower branches closest to the ground. ----------------------------------------------------------- 💧Watering: 1L on day 9 and 0.5L on day 12 I use tap water, adjust the ph to around 5.8 and water ------------------------------------------------------------ 🤩Equipment of the week : Light FC3000 Mars hydro. power 80% at 50cm Extractor 6 inch Mars Hydro. power 1/10. ON 24/24h 2 fans to circulate the air inside the tent. Each on for 30 minutes then off for 1 hour. this rhythm repeats itself in a loop Heating mat Romberg 95x95cm. ON 45 minutes. OFF 30minutes. In a loop I am adding anti-midge bird stickers 🐦 ------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you for your visit and your support with the likes, comments.

..week 8 of BlackOpium.. and she is still flowering strong💪 she has a weak,peppery smell.. love it..reminds me of the 90's..dont know why..mayb i am just being nostalgic (in 90's i smoked my first...😎👊) She has been in safehouse all week bc of wet and cold weather but thats no problem 4 her.. she is tough!💪 Now some sunny days have arrived 🙌 so she can stand in garden again👍 ..am waiting for the sun to hit her..😸 so i can make some nice pix...😍 (i hope..am having a bad'days"..its hard for me to get it nice and sharp, my hands are shaking..*MS* and have no energy😒.. doesnt matter, am used 2 it..i will get it done,no matter what!✊) Happy growing 4 all✊ **KISS! growingtechnique: keepItSimple, Stupid! PS i think i may have 'jinxed 'it.. it was almost impossible to make a nice pic..nothing was sharp.. so i just made a small video clip😉

Day 49 - Still giving the ladies just PH water with no nutrients trying to see if I can fix whatever is wrong with them😅 All in all the White Widow & Orange Sherbet plants I took individual pictures of are growing great & should have a pretty nice yield! Thank you for following & make sure to check back for daily updates! Happy growing friends!🌱✌️🏼

Day 29. All goes well and easy, now i know size of pot, its around 720 ml . Girl is stretching, but not so bad, was thinking to take off few bottom branches - but i will leave her untrained i think. In few days i will water her, but generally she drinks almost nothing, compared to girls grown in tents with good air, light and humidity .... Stem went still nice even without any fan, she is stiff ... Found my first Liberties, wonderful mushroom trip ;)))) Day 30. She is healthy green and i think if i will need to add anything - it will be potassium in middle of flower, maybe even nothing ... Girl started to drink faster. Think tomorrow is watering day again .... Day 31. 70 ml of 6.3 ph water in. Before it sprinkled 1g. of BioSys. Day 34. 150ml in !!! Had some run off and collected it. Think it will be enough for 3-4 days, girl is drinking a lot recently ;) Happy Growing !!!!

For me this grow was a complete failure. The amount of buds I threw away was amazing.😭 The buds are very airy, not dense at all. Looking at the trichome sites they are spread quite far apart. Not much THC on this plant at all. If nothing else I've learned to use 24H light on only trusted genetics. I will give this away (if they even want it 😂) to a few mates.

Gas tax x obama runtz I still have 2 of these plants going. One kf them is strong and rooting well the other is the smallest plant in the tent. It's leaves have nit grown in size much the past week. I'm thinking it's roots are tied up weird or it's just a weak plant. If I did not have a thing for even numbers I'd prob toss the 2nd plant but who wants 9 plants when you have 10 This past week all the plants did great dealing with getting repotted and topped in the same week. I definitely took a Rick doing that seeing i only left each plant with 4 leaves. This past week was also a struggle to keep the vpd in a decent range. The Temps outside have been below 32 for a few days with Temps dipping down to almost 0 at night. With the space heater running it's pulling the humidity down. I think I have figured out the solution to that problem so I won't run into that next time it gets cold again. All the plants have really started to grow their new branches sense being topped. A few of the plants are a little smaller than I'd like but I'm gonna keep em alive for now.

Low stress trainin tryna get her to fill in early topping in 1week in a half stay tuned

Day 60 12/12 buds seem to be slowly fattening up and colas falling over i believe she is a 63 day strain so i am reducing ppm of water each time i feed most likely got another week to go as she doesnt look completely finished as of yet Also thinking whether i should change lights to 11/13???  Like 2   Share

Day 42, everything is chuggin along pretty healthy. Definitely some seeds in most of them which bugs me. The whole tent reeks tho which is nice. Some of the citradellics look like they are gettin pretty close so I'll start keeping an eye on them. I had to take the pics again and was strugglin so they arent my best. I have to go thru them still so I got the video up and tmm or as soon as possible I'll get the still shots up✌️ They both are just fattening up day after day and dont seem like they plan to stop anytime soon. They're covered in overly stocky Terps, feels like gorilla tape level of sticky. 2 is the keeper at this point, I'm not sure if theres somethin off in #1 coco I havnt been able to test run off but just feels like its growing a little slower and awkward.

Day 4 - sugar feed. Stop fertilizers from today. Defoliate large fan leaves and HsT large stems

Harvested 445g dry bud from 300w led light. I consider it a successful grow.

Week 11: Pineapple Poison - The Neverending Leafpocalypse! ☔️✂️ Yo growmies! Mother Nature decided to play catch-up with the rain this week, and let me tell you, the Pineapple Poison took full advantage! Over 20mm of rain in seven days, and this girl exploded like a popcorn kernel in a microwave! We're officially at 138cm now, which is basically towering over my raised bed. It wasn't just height, though. New shoots and leaves popped up like green confetti. So, guess who spent most of the weekend playing hairdresser again? This gal! It was a mainlining marathon. As Bobolancetti put it wisely in the comments: we need to start thinking support for those colossal colas. Less foliage also means better wind resistance, which is crucial here in Brandenburg, land of the giant wind turbines. We can't have our Pineapple Princess getting blown over by a rogue gust! The only thing missing? Flowering. Still nowhere to be seen. *insert cricket noise* Listen, this growth spurt is awesome, but the weekly deleafing routine is getting a little…well, lengthy. My arms are feeling it! Maybe next week, the flowering fairy will finally take pity on us and get this party started? A girl can dream…. S Stay tuned, growmies, because next week, we'll see if the Pineapple Poison finally decides to show us her flowers (and give my arms a break)! High fives all around!
