Growing along nicely

Ich hab vor ein paar Tagen umgetopft und n paar LST Clips Ran getan und hoffe das die so richtig sind😅👍 Umgetopft wurde in BioBizz allmix Lampe bei 50cm Abstand auf 35% (280ppfd) Jetzt nur noch abwarten dann Seitentriebe etwas selektieren und denn geht's auch schon in die blüte wenn alles passt👍

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos Week 16 Harvest 17 th April 2020 This Entire feminised seed making and growing project was a very good learning experience for me. Right from the very start, when I successfully got a Cutting ,taken from a Barneys Farm Red diesel female plant to produce feminised pollen after treating it with a silver thiosulfate solution. I then used it to pollinate a Fastbuds Girl scout cookies auto plant and let it grow to maturity. This only produced 3 viable seeds one of which is the subject of this Diary. I made up the name "Ginger nut cookies" after a variety of cookies we have here in Australia that are made with ginger. They are the same colour as the distinct red hairs on the red diesel buds. And would you believe those same vivid red hairs were passed on to this plant so I wasn't too far off the mark with the strain name. Her flavour however is nothing like red diesel or girl scout cookies and infact as taken on a smell and aroma all of it's own. She has a lovely tropical fruit like taste and the smell is a bit like fruit yoghurt. It has an unreal after taste on the exhale and the lingering second hand smoke smells very sweet and enticing. She has a pretty well balanced high too not as potent as the GSC nor as energenic as the red diesel but just a pleasant mix of the two. It was a very easy to grow and undemanding plant that didn't seem to require a lot of extra feeding other than the 100% organic nutrients that were within the soil and a few things like compost teas etc. The other element of this diary was of course the weekly Aussie music videos That I provided the links for and put up a little video clip preview of each Artists song. Week 1 Dance Monkey Week 2 Gotye Week 3 AC/DC Week 4 INXS Week 5 Dire straits Week 6 Yothu yindi and Midnight oil Week 7 Divinyls Week 8 Was Request week where I asked growers to pick and because only 3 growers put in a request I decided to choose all three which were Kylie Minogue , Flume & Airbourne Week 9 Paul Kelly Week 10 Daddy Cool Week 11 Cold chisel Week 12 Jimmy Barnes Week 13 The Angels Week 14 Crowded House Hoodoo gurus Mental as Anything Week 15 Empire of the sun Big Pig , Silverchair , Peking duk Grinspoon , Hilltop hoods and the White stripes And Finally for the last lot of music videos I have chosen another multi list bonanza of Aussie Music with the artist/s name and Youtube link below. So in no particular order here are my last choices for this Diary its been a fun grow with a steep learning curve.

Harvest is finally complete, and after a proper dry and cure I’ve had the chance to enjoy the final result 🌿✂️ This grow had its challenges, especially the calcium deficiency during the vegetative stage and the small thrips outbreak in early flower, but fortunately both were dealt with in time and didn’t affect the final result as much as I expected. A good genetic always makes a difference, and this one definitely showed its potential from start to finish. Combined with the mainlining, the scrog, and a stable environment throughout flowering, it produced a canopy full of dense, frosty buds. The aroma is fantastic, the smoke is smooth, and the flavor is exactly what I was hoping for. The effect is powerful, long-lasting, and perfect for my needs. Overall, I’m really happy with how this run turned out. Every grow is a learning experience, but this one has definitely been one of my favorites. Now it’s time to enjoy it and start thinking about the next project 💚🌱

Sooooo, finally got the dripper up n runnin' I always got told it's better to water smaller amounts spread over the day .... So....looking forward to see how that works out... See u guys next week 😘

Start of week 6. Week 5 went really well for GG4. She's bulking up, buds are getting really big and dense, weight is starting to pack on. She's showing some discoloration in some leaves, purple, orange and pink tones, small signs of deficiency.

Hallo meine Freunde . Wir befinden uns in der 2 Wachstumswoche . Die Orange Sherbet FF von 420 Fast Buds wachsen etwas langsamer wie man auf den Bildern erkennen kann . Auch Sie wurden von 0,5l in 8l Grownest Stofftöpfe umgepflanz . Der PH Wert wurde angepasst auf 6.2 . Die Ladys sehen gut aus aber brauchen halt ein bisschen . Dazu bekommen Sie jetzt bei jeden 2 gießen die hälfe der angegebenen Dosis von Hesi Bio Grow mit halber Dosis Hesi Wurzelkomplex und natürlich auch Hesi Super Vit . Gießmenge gebe ich nicht an da Sie durch die außen Temperaturen gerne unterschiedlich trocknet . Das wars auch schon hier mit der Orange Sherbet FF, vielen Dank fürs zuhören und bis nächste Woche meine Growmies . Much love ❤️💛💚

4/1/25 She has super long, almost spider web type pistils that are super beautiful. I can see the calyxs packing on under neath the pistils and forming the buds. She has a nice stacking to her. Maybe 6+ nodal cola. Shining, fuzzy, glistening trichomes stretching out across the fan leaves. Top Dressed with 2Tsp of Bloom, 1tsp of Microbe Charge, and 1Tsp Bloom Booster. Ive also been trying a new method for the top dressing efficacy. I got the idea while watching build a soil using the earth box. I have started covering the soil with some aluminum foil to kind of act as a cover so the feeder roots will come up to where the top dressing is. which seems to be working fairly well and simply. 4/6/25 She is producing super nicely so far. Seems to be thinner, longer buds. But i can visibly see the buds forming calyxes underneath the pistils. Very bulbous and full calyx stacking 4/7/25 the buds are starting to pack on some weight. everything looks happy and

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Everything is working out well this week, not a whole lot to report about. plants growing well and not many issues I have seen, I think this is my favourite plant in the tent atm. this might change later on. Still giving them a 2:1 or 2.5:1 grow vs bloom nutrient. Its helping with some of the pink stems from last week. Feeding strength is up .2 point to reach 900ppm or aorund 1.8EC will leave it here fro the remainder of Veg. Prob will do for 2 more weeks then flip to flower as I just topped them and want to give them some time to recover. NPK ratio of 7-7-14 1:1 equal parts grow/bloom. Grow=8-4-15 Bloom=6-10-14 Boost=1-15-30 "not yet used it yet" Also took some clones from the plants as well, took two main cuttings from each plant, forgot to do the one so its not shown in the first video up the updated clone pics later in the week. If any of these impress me then the clones will go outside and grow there all year for a extra special harvest. Or I'll give them out to some friends and family maybe a little gorilla gardening project, but I will wait before getting ride of them all as I'm still kicking my self in the ass over the Blue Cindy loss. really liked that plant and wish its clones I gave out where still aorund. Lights doing well. The V1 spectrum is good on the medic grow mini sun-2's 240w. No issues so far, dimmed at 80% till flower is initiated then up to 100%, Will test out 13/11 I think as the schedule to give them some more photons for an extra hour vs 12/12 . Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ + https://www.emeraldtriangleseeds.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled + https://www.facebook.com/OriginalETS/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow + https://twitter.com/emeraldseeds Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ + https://www.instagram.com/emeraldtriangleseeds/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow + https://growdiaries.com/grower/emeraldtriangleseeds https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/emerald-triangle-seeds

The zkittlez is maturing faster than the sour grape kush by a pretty significant amount I don't imagine it'll mean I'll have to harvest at different times just its pretty noticeable ones farther along than the other with the sugar leaf production and bud size etc. Still working on solving the heat problem for when the lights are on so I don't have to leave the tent door open all day. I guess I can put a small AC in the room and hook it up to the intake but I don't really want to.

Amnesia Haze has a nice smell when flowering…this week was really rainy so it’s good for the soil and the middle flowering flush. 21 days to harvest 👌🏿

She is fully in flower now and is stretching 😻, hoping she stretches a lot more tho. She wasn't very thirsty, she only needed 2,4l of water. I again used 4ml of biobizz grow and bloom. I also removed a few leaves to make sure that every budsite gets enough sunlight.

Zdar Groweři Druhý hrdina příběhu – žížala Tichý dech půdy, kompostárna i laboratoř ukrytá v jediném těle Zatímco mykorhiza rozprostírá pod zemí své jemné dálnice života, někdo jiný tiše pečuje o celé království. Někdo, kdo půdu otevírá, provzdušňuje, proměňuje a z obyčejného odpadu vytváří látku, ze které se rodí síla. Žížala Darwin ji nazval „střeva Země“. A nepřeháněl. Bez žížaly by se půda jen pomalu probouzela k životu. S ní dýchá, měkne, tmavne a sama v sobě nachází úrodnost. Práce, kterou nevidíš Žížala pracuje bez hluku a bez okázalosti. Prochází tmou, přijímá do sebe mrtvé listí, staré kořeny, zbytky kompostu i neviditelný svět mikrobů. A všechno, co projde jejím tělem, se vrací zpátky jiné. Už to není odpad. Je to temné, živé zlato. Vědci tomu říkají vermikompost. Staří zahradníci mluvili o černém zlatu. Je to hmota plná bakterií, enzymů a huminových kyselin; hustá paměť půdy, kterou rostlina přijímá s lehkostí. Žížala ti zadarmo připraví potravu, kterou žádná lahev nenahradí. Ale žížala nevyrábí jen výživu. Ona staví domov. Architekt podzemí Každý tunel, který po sobě zanechá, je drobný zázrak. Voda jím odtéká, když je jí příliš, a kořeny se netopí. Vzduch jím sestupuje hluboko do země a probouzí mikroby nahoře i dole. Půda díky ní nepůsobí jako mrtvá hmota, ale jako tělo, které se umí nadechnout. Půda bez žížal je jako město bez cest a bez kanalizace. Všechno se zastaví, voda uvízne, vzduch zmizí a život začne tiše slábnout. Žížala je neúnavný traktor v měkkém těle. Pracuje ve dne v noci. Nepotřebuje naftu, nekazí se, nevyžaduje servis. Chce jen stín, vlhko a potravu. Jak žížala myslí Žížala nepočítá fosfor ani nehledá dusík. Neskládá si plány, neměří tabulky. Dělá jednu prastarou věc dokonale: přijímá mrtvé a vrací živé. Potká kus listu? Promění ho v humus. Narazí na zrnko minerálu? Obalí ho životem, aby se stalo dostupným. Najde zhutnělou půdu? Otevře ji a dá jí šanci znovu dýchat. Nemá mozek jako my. Má instinkt starý miliony let. A ten instinkt často rozumí půdě lépe než všechny tabulky hnojiv dohromady. Co žížala potřebuje od tebe Tři prosté věci. Nic víc. A přesto na nich stojí celé podzemní království. 1. Tmu a vlhko. Žížala nesnáší světlo a sucho. Mulč je její střecha, její přikrývka i útočiště. Pod mulčem půda zůstává vláčná a klidná. Holá zem je pro ni poušť. 2. Jídlo. Dej jí pod mulč hrst posekané trávy, kousek banánové slupky, zbytky salátu. Ona je přijme a trpělivě promění. Nekrm ji chemií z lahve. To by bylo, jako bys živému motoru nalil palivo, které mu nedovolí dýchat. 3. Klid. Nerýpej do půdy každý týden. Nerozbíjej její chodby a tichou práci. Když půdu převracíš, trháš nejen žížalí cesty, ale i jemné houbové sítě. No-till není lenost. Je to úcta k životu, který pracuje pod povrchem. Žížala je test Chceš vědět, jestli je tvoje půda živá? Odhrň mulč. Když se pod ním mihne žížala, země ti odpověděla ano. Když tam není žádná, problém není v rostlině. Problém je v podmínkách, které jí dáváš. Žížala jako první mizí z půdy, která ztratila rovnováhu. A jako první se vrací tam, kde se život znovu usazuje. Je to tvůj tichý biosenzor. Zadarmo. Spolupráce tří králů Teď si to spoj. Rostlina posílá cukr houbě. Houba přináší rostlině vodu a fosfor. Žížala otevírá půdu, aby houba mohla dýchat, a tvoří humus, aby rostlina měla z čeho růst. Nikdo z nich nepracuje pro peníze. Pracují pro proudění života. A když se ten proud nezastaví, živí všechny. Ty nejsi šéf. Jsi správce krajiny v malém. Tvoje práce je chránit žížalu před suchem, rýčem a chemií. Zbytek udělá ona – tiše, vytrvale a s moudrostí starší než naše zahrady. Ať to roste. 🌱✌️

Colour coming through

Last week in vegitation,in the last few weeks had a bit of work to do with the Dank Berry to give a shape to this plant as she is a very fast growing plant. Nutrients Plagron Light Marshydro ts 3000 450w

I’m to busy sorry

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.
