Hey yall! Another week down. A lot has happened. To start, we up-potted from the red solos into my living soil blend that I have been working on for almost a year. It's so full on living creatures and beneficials. I used to have fungus gnats a lot when working with living soil, it's almost impossible to avoid. .. Then enters beneficials; we have black soldier Flys, persimillis predatory mites, definitely earth worms, most likely a mix of night crawlers. No more fungus gnats, I highly recommend using beneficial nematodes, cucumeris and persimillis predatory mites are excellent (swirski predatory mites are expensive). Just look at the Soil Food Web and identify what pest you have, then purchase their predators from a trusted insectary. Anyways I added another 200watt LED and spread out the plants in a 2' X 4' tent. It's extremely dry in my location and having the heat on makes the air even drier. So getting my VPD stable has been an immense challenge. Right now Also we need to be able to add VPD or at least GD needs a built in calculator to help folks with VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficite. As of right now I am sitting at 0.85 VPD, so pretty good for today. I have 4 humidifiers and have had to hang moistened towels on the doors of the room I am growing in. It literally has been a huge challenge to keep the humidity high enough for my VPD to be in range for the young plants I have now. Good thing is my current humidity without running any humidifiers is perfect for the flowering stage, so I can't wait to move this along. As for topping and training; like I said I really want to move these ladies into flowering sooner than later. I have several reasons to do limited training so I can limit my veg time, also getting this crop done as fast as possible is best for my set up. Until I can get a larger house 🏠 😩 because we got a baby on the way 👶 so need to make space. I have made compost tea twice this past week, wetting the soil and also spraying the leaves. My sprayer broke so I ended up pouring the tea on the plants gently, I got worm castings on the leaves lol. Gently rubbing that off once they dried. Also I applied the tea at night. My tea recipe: Reverse Osmosis water, 2 to 4 gallons I bubble that with added minerals for a day Add 2-3 cups of Activated worm castings (To activate the castings I added about 3 gallons of high quality castings with what I consider to be nutrient amendments, SO I add = kelp meal, neem cake, organic coconut flour, organic corn meal, organic wheat flour, and organic cold milled flax seeds and let that sit for a week then add about 2 to 3 cups of that mix to the tea) I also add biology from about a cup of 2 different soil mixes I have around my compost bin, just trying to get a more diverse biology by adding those two different soil sources. And mind you the grow beds I took the soil from has been organic for many years and has a large amount of beneficials and tons of excellent biology. Other than that I bubble that for 12 to 24 hours, with as much air as I can get. I use air stones but you really need to clean them off once you are done brewing. I also have an Air Lift with a large air pump that really works great, K.I.S. Organics sells one that works great or you can build one easily with with PVC pipe and a few adapters from any Home Depot or Lowes. Also I do add DynoMyco to my roots when up-potting. They are an amazing brand that has backed up research, I think they have more propagules per gram of two strains they identified to work great with cannabis. Now having said that, each individual phenotype out of each individual and specific strain/cultivar is going to have different bacteria/fungal strains that it prefers and by growing the same strain, hopefully the same exact cut, and grow 3 to 4 cycles before you truly have the mycelium networks built and fully functional. What I am saying is stop throwing out "used" soil and go over 7 gallons, bigger the better for biodiversity. Stop buying "new" soil, amend your previous beds and pots. You will see a huge difference. Hopefully I can show you all of this with my Grow. Anyways please feel free to ask away any questions! This grow is about saving money 💰 🤑 and growing the best clean medicine as possible.

The first week of progress. Got a little sprout coming out. The leaves got somewhat messed up from the shell sticking. More to come.

Entwickelt sich prächtig! +____+

Maturing fast. Some botrytis unfortunately . Have to dig in to incoming air filtration to limit spores. Ac infinity terraform just been released maybe it could help with more sterile air.

Hi Grower! Complete 37 days Flower 08 days (7 nights) Today she shows her Gender! And im happy to can sure now that we have a girl. She is a little bit bitchy to grow, i think i got a big strech in the next days... Budspencer420 for 20% on www.bionovanutrients.com and ~5% on MarsHydro Viparspectra

Tropicana Cookies looking and smelling amazing. Smells like a fresh batch of tropical starburst. Covered in trichomes. Dense purple buds. Bag appeal is off the charts

Well this is a fun line up, as you can see the White Widow has some albinism but it does not seem to be holding her back as she is very beautiful and strong. The Kabul is the tallest in this line up and she seems as though she will be a tower of love. The Black Opium has many mutations as you can see but we are very hopeful she will sort herself out, as always it seems the ones who fight the hardest can sometimes turn out to be the most brilliant and we have hopes for her. The Purple Opium is doing a great job at this thing called life, we look forward to watching them all bloom, but this one holds a special place in our tent!

I love the quality

This time I trimmed before drying. The buds are very nice and dense. This grow was very quick and satisfying. I expected more grams but I am still a newbie, I have a lot to learn. I cured it for 2 weeks and the taste is "mama mia". Thank You for letting me participate to this contest !

HAZIRLIK Dolabı yapmak bir aydan fazla ileri sürdü; aydınlatma, havalandırması, iç kaplaması, montajı, elektrik kabloları, fişleri, soketleri, prizleri vb. Tüm bunların ardından, sonunda bitirmem ve kotiledonların görünenlerin görünmediğini gördüm. Burada yaşadığım mücadeleyi okuduğunuzda, heyecanımı ve mutluluğumu paylaştığınızı düşünüyorum… =) //LED'LER// Torch LED'leri kullanıyorum ve bu LED'ler fiziksel olarak oldukça büyük olduğu için, dolapta ciddi miktarda dikey alan kaplıyorlar. Toplam 70 cm'lik aralıklardan 50 cm'ye düşüyorlardı ve toprak birleştirmeyle yaklaşık 40 cm'ye düştü, bu da başlangıç ​​büyümesi için neredeyse hiç yer bırakmadı. Bunu çözmek için Torch LED'lerini plastik yuvalarından çıkardım ve bunları ayrı ayrı boyutlandırılmış ahşap plakaya düz bir şekilde monte ettim. Bunu yaparak yaklaşık 15 cm'lik alandan tasarruf sağladınız. Ancak dolap yapısı ve Torch LED'lerinin kendisi nedeniyle ciddi ısınma sorunlarının belirtileri. //KABİN// LED'leri açtığımda, 26,5°C'lik iç havayı alıp 37–38°C'de dışarıya atıyorlardı. Her lamba bana yaklaşık +4°C'lik bir ısı artışı sağlıyordu. Durum böyle dönemde fan kapsamını artırdım; bu sıcaklıkta yardımcı oldu, ancak daha sonra içerideki nem 35–30'a, hatta %25'e düştü. Ne yeteneğimi düşünürken, 12V çift taraflı bir Peltier modül kullanmayı planladım: soğuklukta bakır borular sararak bunu fan destekli bir sıcaklığa dönüştürdüm. Aslında işe yarayabilirdi, ancak sıcak ortamdan ısıyı uzaklaştırmak için ihtiyacım olan sistem çok hantal hale geldi. O yerde, "Büyüme hayali bitti" dedim ve vazgeçtim. Birkaç gün sonra "Neden olmasın?" diye düşündüm ve dolabı balkona taşımaya karar verdim. Sonuçta, gizliydi - kimse içinde ne olduğunu bilmeyecekti - ve balkon uydu yoluyla mükemmeldi. Dolap balkonunda olacağından, iç kısım ısıdan, yağmurdan, bölgelerden ve diğer zararlılardan tamamen yalıtılması gerekiyordu. Tüm delikleri ve ortamları sıcak silikonla kapatırım. Daha sonra ısıl işlem köpüğü yerleştirdim ve her şeyi bölme filmle kapladım. Tüm bunları yaparken termostat, ısıtıcı, nemlendirme ve vantilatör için hiçbir şey görünmemesi için tüm kablo bağlantılarını da gizledim. LED aydınlatma için tek tek veya hepsi birlikte kontrol edilebilen ayrı lamba yuvaları ekledim. Ayrıca dolap kapağı açıldığında tüm ana LED'lerin otomatik olarak söndüğü ve yalnızca küçük bir 5W LED'in açık kaldığı bir sistemim oluştu. Vantilatörü dolabın sağ üst arka köşesine monte ederek egzozu diğer noktalara yönlendirdim. Vantilatörün gücünde, negatif basınç o kadar güçlüydü ki hava yalnızca girişten katılıyordu - başka hiçbir yerde 0,001 m³ bile hava kaçağı yoktu. (Bunu hava verileri için değil, zararlıları uzak tutmak için yaptım.) //SICAKLIK VE NEM// Dolabı balkona taşındıktan sonra bu sefer ciddi bir soğukluk sorunuyla karşılaştım. Geceleri sıcaklık 8-9°C'ye düşüyor, gündüzleri ise 24-27°C'ye kadar çıkıyor. Elektrikli fanlı ısıtıcılar kullanmak istemedim çünkü havayı çok kurutuyorlar ve tehlikeliler. Peltier fikrinden ilham alarak tekrar düşünürken çözümümü bir PTC ısıtıcı kullanarak buldum. Hava bağlantıları olan iki alüminyum bloktan oluşan bir PTC ısıtma elemanı yerleştirdim ve gelen tüm havayı bu kanallardan mülkler. Sistemi 24,5°C'de açılıp 24,6°C'de kapanacak şekilde ayarladım. Bu şekilde sıcaklık sadece 1,5° tolerans içinde -24,5 ile 26,5°C arasında dalgalandı ve LED sayıları azaldıkça daha stabil hale geldi. PTC'yi termostata bağlayarak ısıtma sistemini tamamladım. Gündüz sıcaklık sorunlarının çözülmesi için, elektrikler 11:45'te kapanıp 17:45'te tekrar açılacak şekilde programladım; böylece 6 saatlik bir kesinti süresini elde ettim. Bu süre boyunca kabin yaklaşık 24°C'lik dış havayı çekiyor, maksimum 27°C'ye ulaşıyor ve ardından tekrar soğumaya başlıyor; tam da bu noktada PTC devreye giriyor. Böylece daha önceki büyük yangının sorunu tamamen çözülmüş olmuştu. Ayrıca nemlendirmeyi termostata bağlayıp %70'e ayarlayarak nem sorunu da çözülürm. Tüm bu süreci 1,5 ayımı aldı ama değdi. 1-2-3. güne kadar tek led 3. günde 10. güne kadar 3 ledide açtım ama bitkide büyüme problemi olduğunu gördüğüm için ışıkları söndürüp tek ışık 40cmden devam ettim.

Hello friends! I know I'm a bit late with the update so here's what I got so far :) ~Progress Report~ The seedlings have responded well to the nutes so far except for the WW, which seems to be more temperamental than the other girls. I'm holding back on the nutes for the WW till she stabilizes. So far the majority are doing well. No pest so far, I'll be on the look out for em, little buggers. Will be re-potting next week if root development is solid. Much love, Meus <3 ~other~ * Light nutes every 4-6 days [PH'd @ 6.2-6.5] * Mykos, Orca, Recharge dosed water wo/nutes [PH'd @ 6.2-6.5] ~update (day 19)~ I had to toss my bottle of Voodoo Juice, got all moldy and smelled like rotten eggs even though I only had it for just over a month... If any of you have used this before is that normal? Anyways moving on, 4 of the girls are re-potted in Foxfarm Ocean Blend soil, so no more nutes for while. The 2 Purple Urkle's are staying downsized a bit longer, need to get more pots. I will update with pictures on the 4th kickin off week 3. If you have any questions or tips shoot me a pm or comment below! Thank you and see you soon :)

An Tag 70 geerntet und im ganzen getrocknet. Die Budstruktur ist wie schon erwähnt, eigenartig. Zwischenzeitig erinnerte sie mich an Dr. Grinspoon in Purple. Der Geruch ist phänomenal und das Ergebnis ist auch respektabel.

Hello Diary, Purple Lemonade has finished the first week of flowering, the flowers are forming nicely all over the plant and it has been 28 days since the beginning of the vegetation. Purple Lemonade has continued its rapid growth, this week it has grown 20 cm and is now slightly taller than 50 cm. The main cola has risen more dominantly above the other branches, it is forming nicely. The leaves are a healthy dark green color and do not show any signs that the plant is missing anything. Summer temperatures are slowly falling, nothing significant but every degree of lower temperature makes me happy. This week the average was 29 degrees and rarely exceeded. The humidity in the grow box is around 50% which is ok. Watering is a little more frequent, every three days, and sometimes every other day. I still add CalMg but this week I started adding BIO-BLOOM Fertilizer. I prepare 9 liters of water, add the listed nutrients and lower the p.H. to 6.0. I water all three plants on the Farm with this amount. A few days before the end of the week, I cleaned the bottom of the plant to allow better air flow and to make it easier for me to water. I also turned up the LED lights to 80% at the beginning of the week. Here's what the past week looked like. 15/08/2024 - Day 22. Watering. The soil was very dry and the leaves were slightly drooping. I watered each plant with 3 liters of water. I put 1ml/liter CalMg and 1.5 ml/liter Bio-Bloom Fertilizer in the water. 18/08/2024 - Day 25. Watering. Again the soil is very dry and the leaves are slightly drooping. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 21/08/2024 - Day 28. Official end of the first week of flowering. After taking photos, I watered all three plants at the Farm. Purple Lemonade - Day 28. - 52 cm That's all I have for this week. See you soon and thank you all for your comments.

I really lost track i have been really busy at work working alot of overtime anyways im currently on week 7 of flowering.. All girls are looking real frosty

All transplanted to new one gallon containers. Gonna flower soon in these. Topped and LST on bottom branches Topped again on upper branches —-Switched to 12/12 on oct 22—- Training some more day 2 of flower
