2024-07-28 2 Opium Plants remain in my Outdoor Garden. One sits in a 75l container, and stands near the house the other Plant sits into 30 l container , in a corner in my Garden Die Outdoor Girls are starting to flower, still in stretchmode the Plant in the 75l container looks super impressive the 30l girl gas a good spot to go on lets see. for any reason the system dont let me do another updates, so iam forced to do all updates at once in one week 2024-08-16 The Plants are stretching and building sweet flowers Temperatures became perfect, with lots of Sun and warm weather. 2024-08-23 The Weather continues to stay very warm and sunny, the Girls drink up to 10 liters daily, and they get some feedings with organic more PK, because they need the Energy 2024-08-30 Both Girls doing fine, the Plant in the 75l Growbag, is very thirsty and develops sweet Floweringsites. the Girl in the 30l pot, has grown into the open Ground. she was sticking her roots out of the holes from the growpot i was wondering why she looks so fresh and green without getting nutrients, now i know why, she is sucking all good stuff out of open ground clever, clever. 2024-09-07 In the meantime we had some heavy rain and Wind, i had to stabilize both Plants the Girl in the 30 l Container was stretching so massively , she was growing one meter!! in short time but she was blown the most, i had to tie her and she is leaning onto a bigger treee i kinda forgot to save her from winds. but anyway, shes safe and goes on The Girl in the 75l is safe for the moment she shows already massive buds, next week i have to take pictures from above her 2024-09-13 Weather truned for summerly and hot, to autumn and raniy and cold so i have to watch her closely, and hope for more warm / dry days, for her to finish up. It weather continues to stay rainy- and she starts to mold, we will harvest instantly.

Added a second scrog net for the taller plants last Friday. Constantly defoliating to increase light penetration but not trying to stress the plants. (Selective leaf picking) Plants loved the tea I have them last week. Visual improvements in every plant 2 days later. Top dressing later this week on 9/29: 5 tablespoons Gaia green 444 5 tablespoons Gaia Green 284 15 tablespoon Wiggle Worm Earth Worm Castings Light increased to 75%

Entering the 12th week and she is looking and smelling great. Lots of bud sites developing nicely. Super happy with how well the mainlining worked out for this auto. And still few more weeks still to finish up! Cheers 😎

Woche 6 / Vegi Woche 5 Der Grow: Die Pflanze und die neuen Triebe haben sich sich bis zur Wochenmitte, gut entwickelt. Daher habe ich die Triebe ein drittes und letztes Mal getoppt. Die Triebe habe ich danach, mit LST Clips, alle auf eine Ebene ausgerichtet. Jetzt bin ich bei 24 Hauptrieben und werde damit in die Blüte starten. Wann ich auf die Blüte umstelle kann ich noch nicht sagen. Bis es soweit ist, muss ich erst das richtige gießen mit der Sonnenerde, lernen. Nachdem ich die Pflanze erst einmal ordentlich über Wässert hatte, gab es 5 Tage lang kein Wasser mehr. Die Bodenfeuchtigkeit ist in der Zeit auf 38% gefallen. Die Pflanze hat zu dem Zeitpunkt schon recht traurig ausgeschaut und die neuen Triebe sind auch nur noch sehr langsam gewachsen. Daher war es klar, dass mittlerweile zu wenig Wasser in der Erde ist. Deshalb habe ich die Erde dann mit 4 Litern gegossen wobei dann ca. 2 Liter Drain im Untersetzer gelandet sind. Dadurch war klar, dass die Erde schon zu trocken war um das Wasser zuhalten. Da ich aber eine ordentliche Drainageschicht im Topf habe und es somit keine Staunässe geben kann, habe ich das Wasser im Untersetzer gelassen. 3 Stunden später, hatte die Erde das Wasser im Untersetzer, aufgenommen. Die Bodenfeuchtigkeit ist in der Zeit auf 48% gestiegen. Die neuen Triebe haben dann, auch sehr schnell wieder angefangen, zuwachsen. Spoiler, die Pflanze schaut auch mittlerweile deutlich besser aus. Auf den alten Blättern kann man zwar deutlich sehen, dass die Pflanze in den letzten Tagen ordentlich gelitten hat, aber die neuen Blätter schauen alle gut aus. Mein neuer Plan für die Bewässerung ist jetzt auf 42% abtrocknen zulassen und dann soviel zu gießen, dass die Bodenfeuchtigkeit, maximal auf 46% hochgeht. Hiermit hoffe ich, den Sweetspot von zu viel oder zu wenig Wasser zu finden. In meinen vergangenen Grows war es einfach. Erde satt gießen und Topf täglich anheben. Ist der Topf deutlich leichter, wieder gießen. Bei einem 40 Liter Topf mit richtiger Erde, ist es vorbei mit anheben. Der Topf ist vor dem gießen so schwer das man ihn kaum vom Boden bekommt und nachdem gießen auch. Hier merkt man kaum noch einen Unterschied. Die Parameter in Woche 6: Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 26 Grad Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 23 Grad Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 63% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Nacht: 61% Durchschnittliche Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 41% LED Leistung: 20% = 90 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 18 Stunden DLI: 20 Controller Einstellung Tag: Advanced AI VPD 1,3 Controller Einstellung Nacht: Advanced AI VPD 1,1 Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 1,3 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 1,1 Umluft: Stufe 1 oszillierend

Week 3 has come and gone. I think the stretch is now over. I got roughly 8” of growth on top of my net. Hopefully all 8” fills up with nice bud. I counted over 150 top bud sites. Goal is the get at least 14 grams per bud site. The frost production on this plant is out of control. Week three and you can already see trichomes producing on the fan leaves. I have been having to take off close to 50-70 leaves a week in order to keep proper airflow. She is so packed in the net I'm afraid of low airflow once they start getting fat. Only downfall so far is this plant develops loads of leaf. Hopefully that stops during the bulking phase. I keep bumping the nutrients up and she is taking every bit of it. Currently at 2.8ec. She was drinking tons during the stretch but has now gone back to normal amounts. I’m reverting back to every other day watering since last water I got nearly 50% run off. So far the smell is exactly like you open a bag of fruity pebbles. It’s not quite there when you open the tent but once you rub some bud it’s undoubtedly fruity pebbles smell. Hopefully we start seeing the mass put on in the next few weeks. 1/3 of the way done with flower already and she has been doing great.

I did a bad job growing I feel like. The plant was great at first strong and decent size and I got a new job was busy and missed caring for her as much as I should have. Smells good and sticky looks good but I wanna do better.

Put in grow cages and tied main branches down for LST or Mainlining . Continuing Boogie Brew and Wallace Wonder Grow alternating each brand every other week. Weeks 13 through now have deployed 1/2 strength Earth Juice Original 5 w/ Hi Brix. I trim cover crop when needed to slowly add mulch/slow release notrogen as clovers, vetches, millet cowpeas, lentils flax and peas are broken down by tons of bugs in the living soil.

Flowering Week 20: Structural Surprises & Purple Promises Update: 28.07.2025 | Day 143 Hey Growmies, Apologies for the radio silence! Between vacation and kid adventures, the diary took a backseat. But the ladies? They’ve been busy. Here’s the catch-up: Emergency Support Mission - Durban’s weight crisis: Side branches cracked under their own mass – one even split the main stem! - Field fix: Stabilized with 4 stakes + speaker wire (ugly but effective). - Lesson learned: Next run = heavy-duty support before stretch. Strain Check: Durban Poison (African Queen) - Growth style: Less height (expected 2m+), more lateral explosion – new shoots daily make her look like 3 plants in one. - Flower status: White pistils stacking at branch tips. - Smell: Still discreet (neighbor-safe… for now). - Health: Vibrant green – zero stress signs. Blueberry - Surprise stretch: Nearly hit 2m (like a sativa!). Half Durban’s width but elegant. - Stem power: Thicker trunk than Durban – mini-tree status. - Color preview: Purple stems emerging! Buds may follow suit (fingers crossed). - Support needed: Prepping for heavy buds to avoid branch snaps. Care & Environment - Feeding: Pure Bokashi juice (no extras) – they’re thriving on it. - Pests/mold: None spotted. Dry summer helping. - Weather: About 20° C and really high humidity. Next Steps - Build 4-stake + twine support grid (multiple height tiers). - Monitor Durban’s odor spike as flowering advances. - Pray to the mold gods for a dry autumn (purple buds = mold camouflage). Week 20 Takeaway Never underestimate the weight of the branches and the effect of a little strom. I could possible fuck up my grow. Alright folks, as always: Catch y’all next week – no more hiatuses! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Week 2 for the solo Afghani went smooth. Looked a little slow to develop her first proper set of leaves, but the root development should help speed up her progression. Still feeding off the slow release 444 and is now regularly drinking about 2oz of water every other day. I also spritz the bottom of the outer cup to keep moisture levels high for stretching roots. She's about 36" from the light. Hoping to get a little stretch to make training easier. Added a couple new pics to get the week caught up. Stay tuned, week 3 starts training.

First I want to thank everyone who participated in last week's call for help especially GrowingGrannie and gottagrowsometime. I made some changes starting with the distance of the LED, I did a defoliation reduced the Bio-Grow kept the Top Max and the Bio-Bloom added Calmag, Pandora powder mycoterra. BAC Frooting Power and ashes. The downside I have is the humidity which stays at 70% even with the dehumidifier. 0,2 Bio-Grow 0,4 Top Max 0,4 Bio-Bloom 1,4 Calmag 1.5 gr Pandora Powder MYCOTERRA 3 gr de BAC Frooting Power 5 Tablespoons of ash See you next week

OK guys so i figured i would do a video update instead of pictures now that we have some flowers! They are gaining weight everyday now that i got things under control. I went through a pH upswing again and still cannot find the cause of it. but regardless we are back on track i believe
