Day 88, 30th of October 2020: I am just back from my holiday my friend looked after her really nice the 4th week already and buds are coming nicely along.... Great to see this beautiful lady very stinky by the way.... Smell is strong...🤪 She is very nice.... ;) I removed some leaves getting pointless to be as she focuses more on the buds.... Those leaves were removed from the top mostly.... Now she gets one day extra darkness and but previously she had more dark hours than 12 hours because she was removed in the morning and back in the evening because she is in the tent with other plants and they are in veg now....🤪🤣🤣 I just started changing the schedule for those as well so from tomorrow no need to remove her and putting back.... ;)

Nutrition and pest control are very easy. Seems you can't treat them wrong.

Week 8 of flower 9/27/24 Stopped giving T.A. FinalPart after a week because plant showed sings of nutrient burn. Started watering with only water to leech out nutrients from the media to get the plant to cannibalize itself. Hand watering ones a day at the beginning of the light schedule. You can see in the video, one of the colas and the area near it got heavily burned from excessive nutrient salts in the media, I attribute it to the 3 days I watered the plant without runoff in mid flower. A couple more days and it is time to chop :)

Day 63 F: Well here we are at the end of a brilliant grow that has seen totally different mixes of heights and genetics successfully completed under the Mars Hydro fc3000 and my own mix of supersoil. Rhe light managed to keep them all at full tilt even though they were at big , differing canopy heights. If inhad used the middle of the room , I could have covered the canopy a lot better and the light would have easily reached the whole canopy despite their odd height differences. I have a Mars tent that will be perfect for this light to totally fill out with 6 plants once I am back at full production and over this slight delay upcoming. The soil has been brilliant from the off , even the small Mexican airline #1 that seemed to struggle with the start up and strength of the mix has finished well. I only added ecothrive , eco life cycle and biosys tea throughout the grow with a couple of grams of Megacrop in flower as a booster. The watering in the beds has been very easy to maintain and keep moist and the more shallow depth has helped check at root level and bottom easily. The immobile nature of the bed has meant that using different strains as the 3 is maybe not ideal , workable , but not ideal and needs some forward planning next time out . Besides that , it has been very simple to manage. The strains have been perfect throughout the weeks with little to no signs of any deficiency. I did remove a lot of fan leaves over the past week to really open the lower parts of the plant to more light for the ripening time . It will also help with the drying time and harvest. There is a lot of really nice colas on these ladies and I cannot recommend the genetics for autos from Fast buds enough. The Strawberry pie finished beautifully and with 2 phenos ro enjoy once dry , I am really looking forward to hitting that one. The six shooter look deadly for the unweary too with their frosty and kush looking purples and reds. Mexican airline have done a nice job on fattening their buds at the end but the #1 is way less bountiful than her sister. Let's see what a drying period does to their overall yields now. They look so big when 1st hung to dry but it is so disheartening watching them shrink to tiny versions of the originals. The dark period has made them a little more tacky without a doubt and their smells are so obvious going through the plants cutting. Temps are at around 10°c in the room with no lights on so this will be a long ,low and slow dry . I do have the dehumidifier on its highest setting to avoid these fat buds developing any bud rot but the low temps will also be a huge help. I have a nice mix of aromas among these with lemon , fresh cut fruit , candy cane sweet and a spicy fuel . Roll on the harvest and cure now. Hopefully a harvest report will follow within 10-14 days. Be safe and well growmies. The Best Is Yet To Come !

For the first time, I tried working with enzymes in the irrigation water. These are supposed to break down dead roots and plant material in the soil and make it available to the plant as food. I'm curious to see how it goes. After the first three weeks of light changeover the flower transformation is done. Now it is the right time for defoliation and lollopoping. In case of creamy the defoliation was sorely needed. I removed 6 weaker branches. That was the right decision, because I found two pollen sacs on a branch in the shady interior of the plant. Five days later, I couldn't find any more male flowers, so I hope the problem is solved. Light Power: 100% Day 72 Flower day 29 Photoshooting Defoliaton Day 68 Flower day 25 Lollipopping

The last of my skunk regular that germinated. No sign of pre flowers however this is looking like a female based on the speed of her growth being very slow.

From the looks of it. I am in early stages of root rot. Plant is not growing as fast as it was at all. It can be a few things. Light penetration into the bucket. My water temps are around 70f. So I think that's okay. I had some extra mylar from a grow I did years ago. Cut pieces to go over the kids hopefully that helps. I took out all additives besides CalMag. They were fouling the rez as usual. Dropping the Ph as usual. I think it's also the cause of the root rot. I have sprayed soaked with h202 and have added it to the reservoir after a cleaning and a water change. Looks a bit better. I'm located in Canada and I cannot find hydroguard anywhere. Which kinda sucks. Any alternatives would be great. Thanks

start of week 6. (day 36). i am not sure how far my plant is in flower right now. she looks like week 4 now but shes in flower since march 12 (today is may 4th) i noticed she kept growing the first weeks of 12/12 but here she is now, huge and bushy but looks like a week 4 or 5 of flower here... gues ill have to flower her at least another 3 weeks from now. as u see in the video, the smallest plant doesnt have too much yield, thats because i cut of so many undergrowth (stems and leaves) during the third week of flower) this plant was already in a very bad shape before flower. how she looks now is unbelievable compare here here and watch the pics of week 5 vegetation. i flushed the system this morning untill this evening ( in the 12h dark period they run straight rainwater) and when the lights turned back on tonnight i added the nutrients at 820ppm (0.5 convertion) i hope she will now get more explosive as i had 250 grams dried but last time i grew this on soil (2 plants, this diary is on here too “critical”) these were grown under the same light in soil, finished quicker and had more yield (as of now) anyway lets see what happens the next weeks. may 8 (day 39) defoliation, not too much just big fanleaves from the top of the cannopy and underneath the net, more light reaches budsites now

*english version below* Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo die Pflanzen offiziell beschlossen haben, dass Photosynthese ihr Vollzeitjob ist – und wo der Wissenschaftler (also ich) mit Kabelbindern, Big Bud und einem neuen Spielzeug bewaffnet durchs Unterholz kriecht. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Statusbericht – Die Damen gehen ins Blühen über Blütewoche 2 ist nahezu abgeschlossen und das Labor bestätigt: Bud Blood hat seinen Dienst getan. Überall zeigen sich kleine Blütencluster, wie winzige Supernovae aus weißen Stempeln. Ich habe zu Beginn der Woche leicht entlaubt – aber die SLH hat das bereits wieder vollständig verschluckt. Wirklich, die wächst schneller zu als ein Reddit-Thread über Hydroponik eskaliert. 🌿 Großer Friseurbesuch angekündigt Für Ende der kommenden Woche steht das an, was ich nur “Operation Kahlschlag” nenne: Extremes Lollipoppen unter dem ersten Netz Entlauben zwischen den beiden Netzen Canopy-Optimierung oben (alles, was kein Licht sieht → weg) Luftzirkulation erhöhen Energie nur noch in Blüten, nicht in Laub Wie ein botanischer Beauty-Salon – nur mit mehr Schere und weniger Smalltalk. ⚙️ Systemparameter – Die Laborwerte EC: stabil bei 1.5 pH: 5.8–6.0 Nährlösung: 19°C konstant (Wasserchiller küsst perfekt) Raumtemperatur: 25°C RLF: 58–60% (glücklicher VPD-Bereich für Stretch-Ende) Dünger: Bud Blood abgeschlossen seit heute Big Bud im Tank Entlaubung: leicht, Hauptschnitt folgt Under-canopy-flow: hervorragend, Struktur steht massiv und offen Alles in allem: Wachstum, Farbe, Stretch und Blütenbildung → absolut on point. Neues Spielzeug im Labor Ja – es ist passiert: Ich habe mir ein Bud-Mikroskop gegönnt. Ab jetzt heißt es: „Keine Trichome entkommen der Analyse.“ Die nächsten Wochen werden also sehr detailliert. 🌸 Optische Beobachtung – Blütenstand Woche 2 Weiße, lange, typische SLH-Stempel Aroma beginnt minimal (Zitronen-Note blitzt auf) Budsites gleichmäßig über das gesamte Netz verteilt Stretch geht langsam Richtung Ende Zweites Netz arbeitet perfekt als Stabilisator 🔍 Labor-Notiz der Woche „Die Pflanzen wachsen wie von einem Koffeinrausch getrieben. Die Blüten zeigen sich zuverlässig, die Vitalität ist hervorragend, und mein Wasserchiller hat vermutlich weniger Stress als ich.“ 🔮 Was kommt in Woche 3? Der große Defoliation-Run EC stabil weiterfahren Big Bud hochskalieren Lichtintensität leicht erhöhen Unterseite sauber halten Videos & Mikroskop-Shots für die Community Beginn des massiven Bud-Formings Die Bühne ist bereitet – jetzt wird es spannend. ------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome back to the HydroLab, where plants have officially accepted photosynthesis as their full-time occupation — and where the scientist (me) crawls around with zip ties, Big Bud, and a brand-new toy. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Status Report – The Ladies Are Entering Bloom for Real Flower Week 2 is almost done, and the lab confirms: Bud Blood has done its job beautifully. Tiny white explosions of pistils are popping up everywhere. I did a light defoliation earlier this week — but the SLH swallowed that effort instantly. Seriously, this strain grows back faster than a comment section on a hydroponics forum. 🌿 A Major Haircut Incoming By the end of next week, we begin what I call “Operation Full Cleanup”: Extreme lollipopping under the first net Heavy cleanup between the two nets Canopy thinning on top (anything that doesn’t get light → gone) Improve airflow Redirect all energy into bud production Think of it as a botanical beauty salon — just with more scissors and less small talk. ⚙️ System Parameters – Lab Values EC: steady at 1.5 pH: 5.8–6.0 Solution temperature: 19°C (chiller doing god’s work) Room temp: 25°C Humidity: 58–60% (great VPD for end-of-stretch) Nutrients: Bud Blood finished Big Bud started today Defoliation: light — main session coming up Under-canopy structure: wide open, strong, and well-ventilated Overall: Growth, color, stretch, and bud formation → absolutely on point. New Gadget in the Lab Yes… it happened: I bought myself a bud microscope. From now on: No trichome shall escape analysis. Expect extremely detailed updates in the coming weeks. 🌸 Visual Observation – Flower Formation Week 2 Long white SLH pistils everywhere First hints of lemon aroma Budsites evenly spread across the entire net Stretch slowing down Second net working perfectly as a support frame 🔍 Lab Note of the Week “The plants are growing like they’ve had three espressos. Buds are forming nicely, vigor is excellent, and my water chiller is probably under less stress than I am.” 🔮 Coming Up in Week 3 The big defoliation session Continue running EC 1.5 Scale up Big Bud Slightly increase light intensity Keep the lower zone clean Microscope shots + canopy videos Bud formation ramping up The stage is set — things are about to get exciting.

May9 May10 - growth around where I topped is flying - i've raised up the light another bit May11 - 250ml water May12 May13 - 250ml with 0.5ml of biobizz grow, growth was mad there around the 10th, but its a bit slower now May14 - took out all of the bigger leaves, removed some of the smaller leaves along some of the stronger looking lower branches to try to encourage more growth at the end bud site and used some flexible garden wire to do some LST May15 - watched a video about topping... decided to have a go
