Hi guys Im spotting some problems this week. Or at least i think there are problems. First not the problems, LOL. Plant 1, 4 and 5 i think i will harvest in 2 week +/- , also depending on the time i have. But i will give them 1.5/2 more week until i harvest. See if some amber trichs appear The problem here are: 1st - Plants 2 and 3, seem to be blocked, Plant 2 got some signals of nutrient burn, but that i think is solved im only watering with water now. Plant 2 also seems to be re- veging , she is growing new leaves and branches on the lower canopy. But she is also slowly slowly flowering compared to the other 3 plants almost on harvest. Plant 3, this one i dont understand, leaves are green , she started flowering like 3/4 weeks ago but very very slowly, and i dont find any signals of problems related to watering or nutrient burn, the leaves are good lets say that. I removed the plant from the pot to look the roots, and actually for me they look good, ok they probably need 10L pot, but transplant now, i think to late. 2nd - The holes on my pots, where the out comes out, got some white thing , i dont now if that is mold. But its strange, and almost all the holes and the pots got that. 3rd - The water that is coming out still got that brow/ argila color, and im watering only with water. Questions Problem 1 - Are plant 2 and 3 blocked because roots are blocked? Should i cut the lower and small branches and let only the top canopy ? Problem 2 - Is that actually mold? or something related to the intake fan? someone experienced that? Problem 3 - Is that a normal color for the water? could be because of the organic nutrients from RQS that are slowly being released ? Any other comments will be appreciated Thanks, and good grows for everyone

Thickening up nicely! Got some nutrient issues on the LSD, but not nearly as bad a previous grows.

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Edit from 19th May. Literally 00:09 Pre-Flowering. Fat Banana looks like Hermie. Royal Critical = clean pre-flower. Edit from 19th May. 16:26 Fat Banana had balls sack and pistils growing all over the place. I nuked everything that had balls on it. I left only top node with pistils. Royal Critical is full of pistils, no balls. Now I wish I had photoperiod seeds instead of automatics. I would give Critical 1 extra week in veg. She is around 10-15cm smaller then Fat Banana. I switched the lights back to 400W. Edit from 20th May. 14:45 I think 32C is maximum what these plants can handle. With 600W I was reaching 34C on some top leaves and that could possibly turn the Fat Banana into hermit (she was the tallest). I open the tent a little (front doors), I put big-ass fan on second gear blowing strong wind through the mesh-window of a tent. I put the lights straight up to the ceiling, I literally can't put them any higher. Fat banana is now 58cm tall and around 80cm away from the light. Royal Critical is now 41cm tall and around 100cm away from the light. 50% Humidity 28C under the canopy/on the ground under the leaves 31C Air temperature. Fat Banana fan leaves temperature: 28.5C Fat Banana center/middle of the plant: 30.9C Royal Critical fan leaves temperature: 27.5C Royal Critical center/middle of the plant: 27.8C NOTE: Royal Critical ugly/yellow leaves have higher temp: 29-30C The rest of small plants range from 28 and 32C Surface area/soil temperature DRY: 35C Surface/Soil temp. WET/SHADOW: 28-29C That pistol/laser for checking temps was solid purchase. I can see back of my tent is more hot then other areas. Will do more Temp-Checks in the future. I also deleted few things from "Condition" tab because one day they are correct, the other something change and the info is not accurate anymore. I'll update info here in edits. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Farm Control Sheet Date: 20th May 2024 Time: 16:57 Tent status: Side doors little bit open. Both windows fully open.

Edit from 22th May. @ 13:10 Nothing changes. Plants are happy and praying to their god ( me ofc :) ) Same temps Same RH I watered them yesterday after long days/weeks of dry season (cuz of FuckYouGnats). Edit from 23th May. @ 11:40am Same temps or even a bit lower then in last two days. I like it. I closed 85% of windows in tent (door fully closed) to create negative pressure that's gonna suck out the hot air. It seems to work better than what I did yesterday. Today I gave them second dose of nematodes. There is really very little Fungus Gnats around now. Sometimes, occasionally one or two "teenagers" or "baby" Gnats would fly out from bottom of pot or top of the soil after watering but that's like nothing comparing to what I had at the beginning. Shit-ton of yellow-sticky-tape does the job as well, just put it everywhere you can. / What I'm singing to Lady Banan? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZEddFi1W8k / What I'm singing to Lady Banan? Edit from 23th May @ 2pm So I'm reading about VPD now and I think, this is what is happening in my tent right now. High temps but RH at right levels makes the plant comfy in that zones. Right now plants sitting at 30.6C @ 55% RH So I'm sitting at 1.27 VPD? If I could lower my temps to 29C and keep RH at 55% that would be 1.20 VPD (which would be perfect) N o t B a d R o o k I e Edit from 24th May @ 11:24 am So in last 3 days the temperature outside my house is dropping + raining. So that means I have perfect VPD in my tent now. We are sitting at 30C @ 50-55% RH. Most plants have praying leaves, even Lady Banan stops being moody and just start fucking flowering like it should. Finally. But I can see she wanna grow even more upwards, like wtf, this is not 3 meter tent, its only 2.2m, chill the freaking out Lady Banan... Im gonna have literal forest if the rest of Bananas would grow like that. As you can see I'm kinda happy with the grow now. Fungus Gnats still present but under control. Yellow Sticky tape, especially under the mesh window, the tape is catching fuck-ton of these motherfuckers. Few days ago I did "Very Light Stress Training" with Royal Critical. So I basically just tackle the fan leaves in the way, where, when fan leaves are growing bigger, they push the side branches more to the outside (apologize for my English but you can check out the pictures and see what I mean). So she is training by her self, alone, with the power of nature = and it works, she is opening more and more every 2 days. Edit from 25th May @ 21:53 Yoyoyoyoyoyo! So my ADHD and Bipolar kicks in so Idgaf about temps, its colder, around 29C @ 45% They got a lot of fresh air today, I was "luchting" today. I think I had to water them today but... Will do tomorrow morning. I'm thinking about Pimpology classes for myself, for better communication with the bitches, you know what I mean... They ain't thickening up if they aint stressing! Edit from 26th May. Sunday. 7am DOUBLE DROP NEVER STOP LET THAT BEAUTY POP 69 PLANT SIZE: BANAN = 72CM CRITICAL = 65CM 😎

Giorno 1 molto bene le ragazze sono state defogliate per entrare pulite nella terza settimana di fioritura Giorno 2 nuovamente LST sul ramo apicale, è infermabile

We feel very sorry for taking to long to post new content, but it's very hard with work and university (hope you can understand that) 😌 This was a really good grow. We're very happy and satisfied with the final product. It's one of our favs strains!! Top! top! See you on the next run! 😍

1/24 Seeing balls I think :( - Welp - Confirmed they are balls, #2 has them also, not sure if LST caused to much stress or what. To much pride to just kill them all. I will continue this grow concealed in the 3x3. Honestly thought I was doing everything right. Going to leave them together, I got a auto water system to help keep tent closed more often. Doing this for the experience, will deep clean tent and all equipment after. I guess my goal now is to just finish her up, I'm 4 weeks through, going to try to use this bud for edibles, etc. This is for the people who had a hermie, wanted to continue growing it, but couldn't due to there conditions. Here ya go, this will be a fun run. If this isn't a good idea let me know LOL. 1/25 - (early morning) after a little researching and thinking, I think I'll just kill the hermies out. #2 had the same sacks. Going to keep a close eye on #3,#4, but so far they haven't sexed yet, ended up chopping #1, #2 for the better. Done buying cheap seeds, I have went through recommendations to find the best genetics and a more reputable breeder, very soon will start diary on that which I am very pumped for. With 2 of these out now, Planning on putting another strain in with them. I got a little unmotivated experiencing this, but figured rather fix it now then set my self back another 4 weeks. Hopefully we still have luck with #3, #4 will hope for the best! 1/30 - Since chopping #1, and #2 due to them becoming hermie, I definitely lost some motivation on this run. I still have been watering and adjusting canopy with trellis. They have definitely blown up since 1/25, and are giving me much more motivation moving forward. I gave them recharge today. I have started slight LST again but just bending the top cola so it won't grow higher then other colas. I have started another run with Brother Mendel Genetics, and will be starting another grow diary series on them. Look out for it. I do apologize for the late updates, I hope you enjoy the updated documentation. Closing this week out, Definitely had a roller coaster typa week but things are starting to look up. 👉Check out My Instagram for daily updates @Seed2Weed_YT👈 Will Follow Back, Let's Grow Together 💪

Increased pot size to 7 gal

Update

Tag 36: 🌱: Eine neue Woche beginnt und die kleine Lady wächst und wächst. 💧: Die Erde ist immernoch feucht. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert (DLI ~40-45, Abstand zur Pflanze ~35cm) Tag 37: 🌱: Auch wenn es wohl nicht der beste Zeitpunkt dafür ist, wurde es mittlerweile doch sehr eng im Gebüsch. Daher habe ich mich entschieden heute doch noch ein mal etwas radikaler zu beschneiden und die schwächsten Triebe, vor allem aus der Mitte, zu entfernen. Zusätzlich wurden auch noch einige Fächerblätter entfernt die andere Blüten zu sehr verschatteten. Ich hoffe sie übersteht diese Tortur. (Beim nächsten mal muss ich die Triebe wohl früher und stärker selektieren...) 💧: Die Erde ist immernoch feucht. 💡: Die Beleuchtung wurde in die (mit Aufhänger) höchste Position gebracht, um den Abstand zur Pflanze aufrecht zu halten (~37cm) und die Intensität angepasst (DLI ~40-45). 🤔: Ein wenig verwundert bin ich, da ich heute plötzlich einige ziemlich violette Blattstiele, vor allem im oberen Bereich entdeckt habe. In Verbindung mit ersten sich leicht gelblich färbenden Blattspitzen, will sie mir wohl etwas mitteilen. Ich weiß nur noch nicht genau was....Sonnenbrand? Zu warm? Zu wenig Phosphor? Ich denke beim nächsten Gießen gibt es als ersten Lösungsversuch etwas mehr vom BioGrow und vom BioBloom. Tag 39: 🌱: Das Blütenwachstum scheint gefühlt etwas gestört zu sein (kein Wunder bei dem Beschneidungsstress zwischendurch). Ansonsten scheint sie sich jedoch wohlzufühlen und noch etwas an Höhe zuzunehmen. Heute gab es daher kleinere LST Anpassungen umd etwas mehr Licht/Luft in die Pflanze zu bekommen und ein einheitlicheres Dach zu erzeugen. 💧: Die Erde war trocken. Gegossen wurden wieder ca. 3 Liter Nährstofflösung. Um etwaigen Mängeln (siehe violette Stiele) vorzubeugen, wurden Bio Grow, Bio Bloom und Top Max auf 100% Düngeschema gesteigert. 💡: Die Beleuchtung wurde in Ihrer Intensität leicht angepasst, bleibt aber weiterhin bei einem DLI von ca. 45 Tag 41: 🌱: Heute wurden einige Blätter aus der Mitte und ganz unten entfernt. Sie streckt sich weiterhin fleißig und arbeitet an ihren so beliebten Buds. Als kleines Extra kam heute auch wieder ein CO2-Beutel in die Box. 💧: Die Erde war noch feucht genug. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 42: 🌱: Jeden Tag was neues: heute habe ich neben den violetten Blattstielen zum ersten Mal auch violette Stellen an einigen Trieben entdeckt 🤔 Ich hoffe einfach mal, dass dies aufgrund des Phenotyps / der Temperaturen geschieht. 💧: Die Erde war trocken. Gegossen wurden wieder ca. 3 Liter Nährstofflösung nach etwa 100% BioBizz Light Mix Schema. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert.

Amazing buds from this amnesia pro, stinky dank nuggets with clasic amnesia fragrance, very enjoyable, very sticky flower that are starting to compact, very happy about this plant, let's see how she keeps developing! 🔝💚❤️💛

This week will be mostly keeping an eye on tying down new shoots as we progress into early flower and things are still able to be bent. Also as we are going into a total of week 6 from seed, I am amending the top soil with 3 tablespoons per pot (7 gal) of the 2-8-4, for the flowering stage. Also adding 1 tablespoon of the 4-4-4 all purpose per pot. I originally messed up my measurements of nutrients. So the original medium had 6 tablespoons of 4-4-4 all purpose for a 7 gal pot with 1 tablespoon of 2-8-4 bloom. I have corrected those this week as well. As I continue through the week I will be keeping an eye on the environment, keeping humidity lower and watering top soil to keep moist. Also some light defoliation where necessary to increase light penetration while I continue to LST. So far things still seem healthy, aiming water to be with a PH of between 6.2-6.6 and dechlorinating for 24 hours. Strain is sitting lower and bushy, but quite a few bud sites.

8/31 I harvested Auto Opium today. This is 7-10 days early. I intended to grow her inside the tent, but when she stretched quickly i had to take her outside. This did not give her time to harden off before going fully into flower. Then my area went into extreme heat over 110 for extended weeks. High heat and humidity. She couldn't handle this. Then Hurricane Debby whipped her back and bent her main stem in several places. Repaired with chopsticks and electrical tape. Her limbs were thin and spindly, I tried to support with garden hoops but many stems just bent regardless. One bent and cut off its water & nutrients and died. All in all Auto Opium did not transition well from tent to outside. If I had understood her structure before her grow was underway, I would have done some topping or mainlining. I'm watching several growers demonstrate training techniques that I will try. You know you you are. Many thanks to you. We had some cooler nights in the last week or so which allowed leaf color changes from lime green💚 to purples💜 and some reds. I see some lavender in her buds. Trichomes are mostly milky white, so a bit early. Harvest shows, many long, hollow stems which couldn't support her own weight. To be eco-friendly, you could use these for beverage straws 😅. Thank you for sharing this journey with me. I appreciate your comments and advice 🙏🌱💚 . I'm learning as I'm growing, and growing as im meeting many friends here. Thank you @DivineSeeds for generously sharing your exciting seeds with me and the opportunity to participate in your contests.
