Toujours trop chaud cette semaine. Les filles ont très soif, mais elle vont bien. Un peu de gym pour certaines et un traitement huile d,'holive ail et huile de neem pour toute. Ça commence à devenir vraiment cool, car je n ai jamais eu d aussi grosse plante et qu'il me reste encore un mois de croissance. C'est l'inconnu a partir de maintenant. Croisons les doigts

I should be putting up my scrog net now I guess...maybe next tie down if she allows. Dropping temps to 18 at night is the biggest challenge: it makes her more nice n frosty looking. I still can't select my nute line so no point in shown m off.

Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) – Flower Week 5 ⸻ 🌿 Quick Recap – From Seed to Week 5 Flower • Week 1 Flower: Fast transition—pistils everywhere, healthy roots, compact growth. • Week 2 Flower: Morphology shift in full swing; feeding adjusted with Top Booster and Plagron trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation). • Week 3 Flower: Light defoliation to open structure. Plants ~120 cm, hybrid leaf traits, strong root activity. • Week 4 Flower: Bud stacking accelerated, pistils thickening, recipe simplified (soil NPK carrying, boosters fine-tuning). • Week 5 Flower (current): Buds swelling, pistils everywhere, resin heads sparkling. Slight leaf spotting observed—likely Ca/Mg imbalance. Adjusted by reintroducing Aptus All-In-One Liquid for a nutrient push and better balance. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development Both phenos continue to mirror each other, tight internodes, balanced structure, and lush hybrid leaves. The buds are swelling rapidly, calyxes stacking beautifully, and pistils are thick and lively. The resin layer is already visible, giving a frosty shimmer that promises density and potency in the weeks ahead. A few spots appeared on lower and mid leaves—most likely a calcium/magnesium issue. To counter, we increased nutritional support by bringing Aptus All-In-One Liquid back into the mix, ensuring a complete and balanced NPK profile while keeping boosters steady. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition (Week 5) • Aptus Regulator – micronutrient transport, cell wall integrity • Aptus CalMag Boost – raising Ca/Mg levels to address leaf spotting • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – full-spectrum NPK support reintroduced this week • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation – continuing to enhance flower development, aroma, and resin formation Soil still provides a strong nutritional backbone, but this week’s adjustments help stabilize the balance and support heavy bud development. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions • Day Temp: ~29–30°C • Night Temp: ~25°C • Humidity: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 kPa • CO₂: ~700 ppm • Watering: ~1.5–2L per plant/day, at ~20% soil dryness • Soil EC: ~2.0 • Light Intensity: 760–780 PPFD across canopy AC installation is still pending, so temps are slightly higher than ideal, but plants remain vigorous and unstressed. ⸻ ✨ Special Focus: Trichomes – Nature’s Treasure Houses At Week 5, trichomes are beginning to form in visible density, and this is a great moment to explore what they are and why they matter. 🔬 What Are Trichomes? Trichomes are microscopic, glandular outgrowths on cannabis flowers and leaves. They are resin factories—producing cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBG, etc.), terpenes (aromatic oils), and flavonoids (pigments and antioxidants). 🌸 Cannabinoids • THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): Primary psychoactive compound; euphoric, creative, uplifting. • CBD (Cannabidiol): Non-psychoactive, soothing, anti-inflammatory, balancing. • Others: CBG, CBC, THCV—each contributing unique effects and therapeutic potential. 🌺 Terpenes Aromatic molecules giving cannabis its smell and flavor profile. Examples: • Myrcene: Earthy, musky, sedative qualities • Limonene: Citrus, uplifting, mood-enhancing • Pinene: Piney, sharp, potentially focus-enhancing These terpenes modulate the effects of cannabinoids in the entourage effect. 🎨 Flavonoids Less talked about, but flavonoids contribute to color, taste, and antioxidant activity. They can influence the final bouquet and even the therapeutic properties of the plant. 🌌 Why They Matter Now At Week 5, trichomes are initiating en masse, but they are still clear and immature. As the weeks progress, they’ll cloud, then amber, signaling ripeness. Monitoring trichomes with a loupe is the most reliable way to judge harvest time, not just pistils. ⸻ 🎛️ Gear & Setup • Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600W, ThinkGrow ICL-300 LEDs, and Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W—all synced under TrolMaster for environmental control. • Airflow: Dual 6” extraction with carbon filters (TrolMaster Aerofan + Spider Farmer), controlled separately for redundancy. • Monitoring: TrolMaster Tent-X + WCS substrate sensor—tracking EC, moisture, and real-time root zone conditions. ⸻ 🌿 Outlook The girls are in their prime flowering momentum. With nutrients adjusted and trichomes stacking, the coming weeks should bring bulk, aroma, and resin explosion. This is where the legendary Super Silver Haze genetics (Skunk x Northern Lights x Haze) begin to show their pedigree—old-school power, modern stability.

Fünfte Blütewoche. Bisher bin ich durchwegs begeistert von den Pflanzen. Keine Mängel, keine Plagegeister, toller Wuchs und schöne Blüten. Einige Blätter an besonders exponierten Buds beginnen verwenden sich. Denke die UV-b Bestrahlung ist evt. etwas lang, daher wird jetzt 30 min weniger bestrahlt. Von 4h auf 3,5h. An Blütetag 33 tauchten an einigen Blättern des helleren Phenos (1) braune Flecken auf den Blättern auf. Verdacht Überdüngung oder Calcium/ Magnesium Mangel. Messung des Drain ergab brutale Überdüngung. ( 11mS und Ph 4,8). Somir Smspülen erst mit Osmosewasser bis Ph 6 und Leitwert 5.8mS. Am nächsten Tag Spülen bis ph6 und Leitwert 2mS mit Leitungswasser/Osmosewassermix Leitwert 500microSiemens(0,5mS) Interessanter Weise zeigt es sich bei Pheno 2 erst jetzt und komplett anders, trotz 100%gleicher Düngung. Bei Oheno zwei beginnen drinnen Blattspitzen sich nach innen zu Rollen und die Blätter vergilben ähnlich eines Stickstoffmangels. Auf den letzten beiden Bildern links vorn gut zu sehen.

ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS PURPLEMATIC Kush Rose Auto CBD x Afghan Rose Auto CBD 5% Sativa 90% Indica 5% Ruderalis 9-10wks from germination THC: 0.5% CBD: 17% Beautiful strain, amazing aroma colours and a very sticky CBD strain.. Very easy to grow.. Will make updates and pics when ready to cure.. 😁👍🍀 Edited 28/9/20: Both my partner and myself really enjoy this medical cannabis.. I only wish i wud of been to grow more.. Im trying a bowl at night and it is helping with broken sleep due to pains.. Anytime im feeling aches n pains in joints im having a quick hit and it's definitely making manoeuvrability and life a bit easier atm.. Very smooth to smoke and not at all harsh.. Get a bit of a tickle for those who dont smoke bongs/pipes etc but in my opinion the quickest way apart from dry vape (dont own 1).. Rolled a smallish 1-1/4 blunt with her and she burns great with a herb/flowers hint on the way out.. For my 1st CBD strain im very happy with her and the effects and I'll definitely run her again..😁👍🍀 To view this strain please follow the link.. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/medical-cannabis-seeds/481-purplematic-cbd.html

So everyday for the last week I've taken off at least 15-20 yellow leaves. Looked up some info on here and saw that it maybe a nitrogen deficiency. So I ordered raw nitrogen and mixed it with the food I give her. Hopefully this helps my baby. And I got a question why aren't the buds fattening? What can I do to help this

Still going well. Drained and refilled both tanks at the beginning of the week. Usually add PK week 5 flower but they didn’t quite look ready. Starting to smell nice in there now too.

In dieser Woche haben die Blüten an Größe dazu gewonnen. Auch Trichome bilden sich jetzt um die Blütenblätter und der Geruch wird langsam stärker.😳 Vorallem süße und Zitronen Terpene sind schon heraus zu riechen 🍋🍬⛽️ Ich habe jetzt den Blühstimulator etwas reduziert und dafür Overdrive dazu gegeben, denn jetzt wird es an der Zeit die Blüten zu mästen.😏 Leider sind die braunen bis rostfarbenen Punkte auf den Blättern nicht verschwunden.. es hat sich aber zu letzter Woche verlangsamt. Ich halte den pH-Wert weiterhin etwas höher wie zu Beginn und hoffe das es so stoppt. Den Blüten hat es weiterhin noch nicht geschadet.🌱🍀

I think it’s about flushing time for Gorilla Zkittlez. She stinks up the whole room. Carbon filter ain’t cutting it. Lol Gorilla Cookies on the other hand is getting huge. I think she should pull some nice weight. She’s stacking up trichromes and starting to smell pretty good. A weird smell but it’s good. Idk how to explain it. 😎 That’s all till next week. 🤙🏽💪🏽

3 seeds from barneys farm : glue gelato auto. Diary : Day 1: I dug a pit and cleaned my dirt with metal grid and a wheelbarrow & Installed the greenhouse. Day 2 : I rotated my dirt and added universal soil. 4 x 70l to area of 6m2. I also planted seeds in universal soil without sprouting first. Day 3 : I gave water and checked for sprouts. Bought moist meter and dripping hose. Installed those and making the greenhouse more moisty now. Feeling : Verry happy for my first time. Lots to learn.. . Excited

Day 43 - She is streching! Did some very carefull LST. I think she wants more N, i´ll add 1ml/L of Fish-Mix to see how she responds. Day 45 - Fed her today, nutrient amount corresponds to the chart above. Day 47 - Explosive growth continues, i think she loved the extra fish-mix! See diference between days 44 and 47! Leaves have darken a bit, but due to GD image coding, i dont think you can tell so well. Day 49 - She´s pretty happy, did dome minor LST adjustments. I think she is finishing her stretch. Next week will arrive my Carboload and Big Bud by Advanced nutrients, which i will introduce :) Maybe with foliar

Week 7 of flowering 10/30/24 Changed nutrients to fit week 7 Buds are getting even bigger and thicker. Last week PH drop happened again a couple of days after the major flush. PH in rootzone is getting lower every day. Runoff still at 10-20%, so no salt buldup, EC same as intake or litttle higher. Flushed again with FloraKleen and watered with TriPart Micro, Grow, Bloom with CalMag. Bought Potassium Bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate as suggested by "Aqua Man", to buffer coco in the future. (https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/ph-dropping-from-5-8-to-3-9-overnight-what-is-causing-this.87011/post-2329509) changed nutes on 11/2/24, to FinalPart at 1.3 EC. Checking runoff PH and EC daily.

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Not a whole lot is happening this week, still having some PH issues in the medium, I believe this is from the microbial mass I added a while back. A microbe product, PH going into the medium is around 6.5-6.8 and coming out is between 5.5-5.8, so something is acidifying it up. Also noticed the runoff last week was a bit higher at times. So lowered the feed down quite a bit, going in at 1.4EC vs 1.8 will bump it up to 1.5 and 1.6 in the next few weeks. I also added in a bit of a PK booster. nothing to crazy only 60ppm worth on a total allowance of 700PPM Lights now running at 100% with V1 spectrum, decided to go with 100% now vs after stretch, will see how it works out. Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ + https://www.kannabia.com/en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled + https://www.facebook.com/kannabiaseed/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow + https://twitter.com/kannabiaseeds Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ + https://www.instagram.com/kannabiaseedsint YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ + https://www.youtube.com/c/KannabiaSeedCompany Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow + https://growdiaries.com/grower/kannabia https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/kannabia
