Woche 5 - Vorletzte Woche der Vegetation und beeindruckende Entwicklung Die fünfte Woche markierte die vorletzte Vegetationswoche, und die Pflanzen zeigten weiterhin bemerkenswertes Wachstum und Gesundheit. Die Nährstoffe und das Gießschema blieben unverändert, wobei der EC- und pH-Wert sowohl im Drain als auch in der Nährlösung stabil auf optimalem Niveau waren. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit wurde leicht auf 60 % gesenkt, während die Temperatur weiterhin im Bereich von etwa 22 bis 26 Grad blieb. Die Pflanzen setzten ihr Wachstum in beeindruckendem Tempo fort und entwickelten enorme Seitentriebe. SPOILER !!!: Ohne jegliches zusätzliches Training bildeten sich am Ende der Woche 16 bis 18 Hauptnebenbuds sowie jeweils ein zentraler, kräftiger Headbud. Die Genetik dieser Pflanzen erwies sich als absolut außergewöhnlich. ENGLISH Week 5 - Final Week of Vegetation and Remarkable Development The fifth week marked the penultimate week of vegetation, and the plants continued to show remarkable growth and health. The nutrient and watering schedules remained unchanged, with EC and pH levels stable at optimal values, both in the nutrient solution and the drain. Humidity was slightly reduced to 60%, while temperatures stayed in the range of 22 to 26 degrees Celsius. The plants kept growing at an impressive rate and developed enormous side branches. Without any additional training, by the end of the week, they formed 16 to 18 main side buds along with a strong central head bud. The genetics of these plants proved to be absolutely outstanding.

This week brought some challenges—I discovered thrips on the leaves of my plant. Thankfully, the infestation isn’t too severe yet, and I acted quickly to address the issue: 1. Sprayed the plant with plain water to knock off any pests. 2. Removed the top layer of soil. 3. Applied BioBizz Leaf Coat as a protective measure. I really hope this will help. After reading up on these nasty pests, I learned that they can completely devastate the leaves if left unchecked. Unfortunately, I have only myself to blame for their appearance. Due to the cold weather, I’ve been using a heater in the room with my growbox, which has caused the humidity to drop significantly. It sometimes dips as low as 30%, and it rarely goes above 50%. Most of the time, the humidity hovers around 35-40%, which is an ideal breeding ground for thrips. To answer the obvious question—yes, I do have a humidifier. However, my growbox has a very powerful exhaust fan (315 m³/h for an 80x80 space), so the air is refreshed too quickly for the humidifier to make a lasting difference. Aside from fighting thrips, I also made some adjustments to my grow this week. On Day 20, I did a little LST. Honestly, I wasn’t planning on using any training techniques in this grow, but I decided to give it a try anyway. One thing I can say for sure—I want to skip LST in my next grow. It’s quite inconvenient to water the plant when the leaves are practically touching the soil. Additionally, I defoliated the first two sets of leaves. I felt this was necessary to improve airflow around the plant and reduce the risk of pests spreading further. Watering: Day 17: 400 ml Day 20: 500 ml I’m keeping a close eye on the plant and hope to overcome these challenges successfully.

FLOWERING WEEK 6 (Dec 15-21) ------------------------------------------------------ TARGETS: EC: 2.2-2.4 (IN) pH: 6.3 (IN) TEMP: 25c (DAY) 19c (NIGHT) HUMIDITY: 50-60% VPD: 1.0-1.5 KpA - Discontinue Silica - Reduce CalMag by half Very crucial week here. Generally after week 6 buds don't gain a lot of mass unless they're 9+ week strains. I really have no idea how long the flowering cycle is on these so I'm treading carefully. I'd like to be at peak nutrient strength right now but I don't want to cause any lockout from overfeeding. Runoffs we're getting high and pH was dropping below 6.2. The mix is a bit tricky here because the feed schedule says to stop CaIMag at week 6. That's likely assuming an 8 week flower cycle, but again, I don't know the cycle yet. For now I'm reducing the CalMag supplement by half to satisfy cation exchange in the coco. I've just removed Silica from the feed schedule after learning you shouldn't use it past week 3 of bloom 😆. That supplement was a massive boost to the solution pH, which is now missing and making if difficult to reach the target of 6.3. I'll have to run out and grab pH UP for the first time ever. Solution EC target of 2.4 is difficult to achieve without exceeding Remo's recommended element ratio as well. Still out of VeloKelp and I ran out of PK 14/15 so buying a few new bottles is inevitable. Shit looks good though. The Wild Runtz stash seed is exceeding expectations in a 3 gallon pot. The long colas on strong branching are starting to fill in with white pistils still sticking up. Kingpin is about as wide as it is tall (40"). The top 10-12" is bulking up really nicely. I'll have to start tying outside branches to each other to avoid any snapping later on but she looks sturdy. Pulling a few leaves out of the middle to get more light and airflow through her might be good. At the same time, I haven't done a lot of defoliation in bloom (fan leaves help keep humidity up through healthy transpiration) and the environment has been on target so I don't want to fuck with them too much. Dec 15 ------------ - Watered @ 2.4 EC / 6.2 pH (2:15 AM) (2L) - Runoffs: 2.8 EC ⬇️ - Watered @ 1.7 EC / 6.1 pH (5:45 AM) (6L) - Runoffs: 2.1 EC ✅ / 6.0 pH ⬆️ - Watered @ 1.9 EC / 6.2 pH (8:30 PM) (5L) - Runoffs: 2.3-2.4 Dec 16 ------------ - Watered @ 1.9 EC / 6.2 pH (5:30 AM) (4L) - Runoffs: 2.4 EC - Watered @ 2.2 EC / 6.3 pH (7:30 PM) (6L) (VeloKelp back) - Runoffs: 2.4-2.5 EC / 6.0-6.1 pH Dec 17 ------------ I took a trip to the grow shop and they had VeloKelp back in stock (didn't call me) so I grabbed another litre. Also picked up a small bottle of Sensizym and the pH UP. Totally forgot about the root cleaner up to this point. I'll only run this for two weeks before discontinuing. - Watered @ 2.3 EC / 6.3 pH (1:00 AM) (4L) (+Sensizym) - Runoffs: 2.5-2.6 EC - Watered @ 2.4 EC / 6.3 pH (5:30 AM) (4L) (+Sensizym) - Runoffs: 2.8 EC / 6.1 pH - Watered @ 2.4 EC / 6.4 pH (8:30 PM) (6L) (+Sensizym) - Runoffs: 2.6-2.8 EC ⬇️ / 6.1 pH (3.1 EC after 4L) Dialing back the EC. Doesn't seem sustainable with the amount of solution I'm dumping in to maintain the root zone EC. Getting a ton of runoff and that means waste. I'll drop back to 1.8-2.0 EC tomorrow and see where it's at. Dec 18 ------------ - Watered @ 1.8 EC / 6.4 pH (1:00 AM) (3L)⬆️ - Runoffs: 2.7-2.8 EC ⬇️ - Watered @ 2.0 EC / 6.4 pH (5:45 AM) (6L) - Runoffs: 2.3-2.4 EC - Watered @ 2.1 EC / 6.5 pH (7:45 PM) (4L) - Runoffs: 2.5 EC / 6.1 pH Dec 19 ------------ - Watered @ 2.2 EC / 6.3 pH (5:45 AM) (4L) - Watered @ 2.2 EC / 6.5 pH (7:35 PM) (4L) - Runoffs: 3.0-3.1 EC / 6.1 pH Dec 20 ----------- - Watered @ 2.2 EC / 6.5 pH (2:15 AM) (4-4.5L) - DNM Runoff - Clipped 12-14 leaves from each plant (touching, wet spots) - Containers starting to pool with water on top when watering - 3 gallon pot basically dry - Watered @ 2.2 EC / 6.3 pH (7:15 PM) (5L) - Runoffs: 3.1-3.2 EC ⬇️ / 6.1 pH - Watered @ 2.2 EC / 6.3pH (9:30 PM) (1L) - DNM Runoff Busy week and just wanted to get in and out of the grow room as quick as possible. Fkn exhausted. Didn't measure any runoffs but I can assume it's over 3.0 EC based on previous waterings. They don't seem to be drinking as much anymore so it might be time to dial back the solution EC. Dec 21 ----------- - Watered @ 2.2 EC / 6.2 pH (1:30 AM) (2L) - DNM Runoff - Watered @ 2.2 EC / 6.2 pH (6:00 AM) (4L) - DNM Runoff

FLOWEEK: 9 Light: 11/13 RH: max 45% TEMP: 22C PPFD: 550 This week, watered only with water, I'm waiting for the trichomes to grow and then I cut them off. I will wait patiently for another 2-3 days. We are now on day 62 of FLO. I had to cut off Kaśka's head because I noticed the beginnings of mold on the top that had no access to the fan. It ended up being just that, so it's good. ✌️

Waiting on time... She's ready for a transplant now and I'm waiting on my nutes to be delivered so I can amend the Coco. Great looking roots on her though and she's getting spread out early on to promote some side branching. She'll be much happier in the 3.9 gal AutoPot with the Beanstalk slow release amended media. I think I'm going to scrog her out as well to maximize the bud sites. Should start getting exciting here soon enough... If the postal service can get me my materials.

Hey growmies, It’s been a while since my last update on the beautiful Frosty Tooth growing in my Minigrow One grow box. The reason for the delay? Growing in the Minigrow One is so smooth that I, as the grower, almost feel unemployed! Of course, I water her daily, but the highlight of my day is pouring the Plagron Alga Bloom into the watering can without spilling a drop 😂. As you can see, the plant remains beautifully compact and low – all without any help or LST! The lighting in the Minigrow does a fantastic job of keeping her wide and low. This week, I removed some of the large fan leaves at the bottom to make room, as there’s quite a bit happening under the canopy 😉. The side branches are developing wonderfully: low, sturdy, and perfectly balanced with the main cola. Over the next few days, I’ll remove another set of fan leaves, but for now, it’s really just a matter of sitting back and enjoying the view. Frosty Tooth is a beauty: healthy, with vibrant green, large, and strong leaves. I can’t wait to see the first “frosty” buds this lady will undoubtedly deliver! In terms of nutrients, she’s getting a daily mix of Sugar Royal, Alga Bloom, and Power Buds. Power Buds, in particular, worked wonders during my previous grows, producing dense, trichome-rich buds. I’m incredibly happy with Plagron’s organic nutrient line – it’s been absolutely spot-on. That’s it for now! Next time, I hope to show you the first buds forming. The Minigrow switched to the flowering phase yesterday. I extended the vegetative phase a couple of times to give her a bit more time, but now the moment has finally arrived ✌️🍀.

This is my last seed. Sadly I let a few fail by letting them get too cold at night. I've had too many failures for it to be anything else. All seeds fully gave taps. So, I've adjusted so the light stays on throughout the night and thr 6-7hrs off is during the day Already I'm seeing it in the middle of the big pot. She will be kept there. Everything else around it will be moved into bigger pots later Larry Bird Kuh will be an undertaking. A grow I've not done before. A 4-5 month monster. Of utter attention to her and focusing on a fully soil and its affects positively will be harnessed like never before. .its my grownaton she'll be given ample space. And attention growing a very nice THICK structure that will hold heavy colas or branches full with shoots. Will be doing watermelon candy auto also its been started. But I may have left it too late to uppot ill know more tomorrow. All seeds are powered by XpertNutrients and will be for the foreseeable future.

....Understanding Electrical Conductivity Electrical conductivity measures a material’s ability to transmit electric current, which in the context of gardening, relates to the soil or nutrient solution’s ion content. In simpler terms, EC indicates how salty the environment is around the roots of a plant. This “saltiness” is crucial because it affects the plant’s osmotic pressure, which in turn influences nutrient uptake and overall plant health. The Science Behind EC At its core, EC measures the presence of soluble ions like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and nitrates – all vital nutrients for plant growth. These ions carry electrical charges, and their movement creates an electrical current, detectable as conductivity. High EC levels typically mean a high concentration of dissolved ions, whereas low EC levels indicate fewer nutrients are available. The Impact of Electrical Conductivity on Plant Growth The relationship between EC and plant growth is a delicate balance. Just the right EC level can enhance nutrient uptake, bolster plant health, and increase yields. However, when EC levels stray too far from the optimal range, they can lead to nutrient imbalances, osmotic stress, and even plant death. Nutrient Uptake and EC Levels Plants absorb nutrients from the soil or water through their roots, a process influenced by the surrounding EC levels. Ideal EC levels help create an optimal environment for this exchange, ensuring plants receive the nutrients they need without exerting excessive energy. High EC Levels: A Double-Edged Sword While a certain level of dissolved ions is beneficial, excessively high EC levels can harm plants. High salinity can draw water out of plant cells, leading to dehydration and nutrient lockout – a condition where plants cannot absorb essential nutrients despite their presence. Low EC Levels: Undernourished Gardens Conversely, low EC levels can starve plants of necessary nutrients, stunt growth, and lead to underdeveloped or diseased plants. Maintaining an optimal EC range is crucial for healthy plant development. Measuring and Adjusting Electrical Conductivity Understanding the importance of EC is one thing, but applying this knowledge in the garden or greenhouse requires practical steps. Regular monitoring and adjustment can ensure that plants remain in a conducive growth environment. Tools for Measuring EC Gardeners can use various tools to measure EC, from simple handheld meters to more sophisticated systems integrated into hydroponic setups. Regular monitoring allows for timely adjustments to soil or nutrient solutions, ensuring optimal EC levels. Adjusting EC for Optimal Growth Adjusting EC involves changing the concentration of nutrients in the soil or solution. In hydroponics, this might mean diluting or concentrating the nutrient solution. In soil, amendments may be added or flushed with water to correct EC levels. Practical Applications: EC in Various Growing Environments The application of EC knowledge varies across different growing environments, from traditional soil-based gardens to modern hydroponic systems. Soil Gardening In soil, EC measurements can help diagnose nutrient imbalances and guide fertilization practices. Amending soil with organic matter or flushing with water can adjust EC levels to better support plant growth. Hydroponics and Aquaponics In hydroponic and aquaponic systems, where plants are grown in water-based solutions, maintaining optimal EC levels is crucial for nutrient availability. These systems allow for precise control of EC, directly influencing plant health and yield. Greenhouse Cultivation In greenhouses, EC monitoring can help manage the nutritional status of various plants, ensuring that each receives the right nutrient mix for optimal growth. Automated systems can provide real-time EC adjustments based on plant needs. Navigating Challenges: Overcoming EC-Related Issues While maintaining optimal EC levels can significantly enhance plant growth, gardeners may encounter challenges such as fluctuating conditions, equipment malfunctions, or environmental stresses. Regular monitoring, combined with a solid understanding of each plant’s specific needs, can mitigate these issues. Conclusion: The Conductive Path to Lush Gardens Electrical conductivity, though an invisible factor, is a cornerstone of successful gardening and farming. By understanding and managing EC levels, gardeners and farmers can profoundly influence the health and productivity of their plants. As we continue to explore the nuances of plant growth, the role of EC stands out as a testament to the marriage of science and nature in cultivating life. Whether in soil, water, or air, mastering the art of electrical conductivity can unlock the full potential of our green companions, leading to bountiful harvests and vibrant gardens.
