Day 70- Switched to plain ph’d water mid-week, they have now had 2 waterings with plain water. Probably going to be 2 more in the upcoming week. Did a big defoliation mostly to help ease the final trim when it comes, but to also allow for a little more trichome development as she uses up the remaining nutrients. It’s been a much cooler week so I have been gradually increasing the light intensity to get a final push for some weight. Running at about 95% intensity at the moment with the tent hovering around 79-81 degrees freedom units. Checking trichomes daily with my 30x jewellers loupe, mostly cloudy now, some amber popping up, but mostly on the leaves. I’m watching my other strain as well, hoping the timing will be right for both to come down. I’m not in a rush, really want to maximize these buds, they are already very hard, and they will be decent producers.

They’re finally doing their thing. There’s a little smell in the tent now, not crazy but definitely there. The cold temps definitely have them using way less water and nutes but they’re still doing ok despite lights out temps in the 40’s. The Green Crack has gone from the most to the least impressive in my opinion although I’m still looking forward to trying out the flowers. The gelato has blown me away, you’d never know it was 2 weeks younger than the others besides it being a little behind on the flower. Hoping to chop these ladies next month, thanks for hanging out with me for this run, bud shots coming next update!

10/27/2025 - Day 63 Short Facts: - 45cm tall - VPD @ 1.2 - Light @ 60% - Showing very small flowers ----------------------------------------------------- It doesn’t look like there’s going to be a big stretch. She’s staying smaller and more compact than the Papayton. I defoliated her a little bit and tried to remove a few of the very small branches, but she’s just too compact, so it wasn’t that easy. I decided to stop for now. She grows as she grows. 😎 I can’t change much about it, so I’ll just let her do her thing. Honestly, apart from being smaller and very compact, there are zero problems. Everything else is perfectly fine. Nothing more to report this week, except that I decided not to switch the normal Blumats to the Blumat Maxi anymore. Instead, I’m watering from the bottom occasionally whenever the Blumat Digital Pro shows a high value, meaning the soil moisture is getting too low.

These have been growing kind of slowly but I got the temps up a little this week by adding some extra light and am getting vpd dialed in. These will only be in this tent for a few more days I am just starting to harvest the main tent so once that is done they will be moved to the Gorilla Grow Tent and put under the new Growlightscience LEDs so we can see how the perform full cycle. The autos will have to get moved back into this tent once I flip the main tent but the photos will prob need a few weeks of veg before that happens. Been doing foliars with the Growzyme from greenbuzz as well before lights out every other night which seems to make them happy. I think theyll take off over the next couple weeks.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis stretch 15 centimètres (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common.

•Morning of day 19, ¾ through week 3. Did a light defol on both ladies. I gotta say I'm a big fan of Big Bud by Seedstockers! This girl is going to be exactly what her name is. I know its early with roughly 40 days to go, but I will for sure be growing this girl again. Any suggestions drop me a line. Happy gardening and stay safe Gromies! 🔥🌱🙏🖖✌️😷 •Morning of day 15, start of week 3. °Big bud is 32" in diameter after more LST. And 37"tall (soil to top). Less stretching and more compacting of nodes. Very pleased! She's feeding at full strength and looking like she might want more. Very vigorous growth. °Agent Orange. 30" in diameter after LST. plant did NOT respond well to LST. AND IS 36½" tall (soil to top). Also showed signs of nutrient burn. Will only feed half strength every 3rd watering. Any suggestions drop me a line! Happy Gardening!

🌿 Grow-Tagebuch – Woche 4: Struktur, Selektion & Stabilisierung 📅 Zeitraum: KW 44 - 04.10.25-11.10.25 Phase: Mittlere Vegetation 📍 Setup: Indoor-Growtent mit LED-Beleuchtung, reflektierenden Wänden, aktiver Luftzirkulation, 20+ beschriftete Töpfe 🔍 Wochenüberblick Wuchsverhalten: Die Pflanzen zeigen nun deutlich differenzierte Phänotypen. Einige Strains entwickeln kräftige Haupttriebe und eine kompakte Blattstruktur. Andere zeigen eine leichte Streckung – hier wurde die Lichtdistanz angepasst. Pflege & Klima: Temperatur: konstant bei 23–24 °C Luftfeuchtigkeit: gesenkt auf ~50 % zur Vorbereitung auf Vorblüte Lichtintensität: leicht erhöht auf ~400 PPFD Luftzirkulation: Ventilator läuft 24/7, leichte Rotation der Pflanzen zur Gleichverteilung Nährstoffmanagement: Vegi-Dünger wurde auf EC ~1.2 erhöht. CalMag wird weiterhin punktuell eingesetzt. Keine Anzeichen von Nährstoffmangel oder Überdüngung – Blätter sind sattgrün, keine Verfärbungen oder Kräuselungen. 📚 Lernimpuls der Woche „Jetzt beginnt die Architektur der Pflanze – wer formt, gewinnt.“ Die vierte Woche ist ideal für Low Stress Training (LST), Topping oder leichtes Defoliieren. Ziel ist es, die Energieverteilung zu optimieren und Licht gleichmäßig auf alle Triebe zu bringen. Tipp: Beim Topping immer auf die dritte bis fünfte Internodie achten – dort ist die Pflanze stabil genug und reagiert mit kräftigem Seitentrieb.

Ho deciso che metterò un altro seme a germinare perche questa non è stata coltivata nel migliore dei modi, anche se devo dire che i fiori non sembrano male e non è sicuramente da buttare via 😅😆ma visto che i ragazzi di Super Sativa Seed Club mi hanno mangiato gentilmente i loro sticker coglierò l’occasione per fare un altro tentativo visto che ci sarà un contest nei vari social cercando di catturare degli scatti con adesivi e Auto Purple OG Punch da condividere su IG 🙌💚 La ragazza sta finendo di asciugare, avevo dato 6 litri di acqua ormai una settimana fa e oggi ho tolto le foglie 🍁 gialle ormai cadenti…la prossima settimana sarà il raccolto con aggiornamenti sul fumo!!!

Eccoci qua ragazzi stiamo arrivando alla fine di questa esperienza outdoor molto rischiosa a mio parere! Pensate che dove mi trovo io davanti a casa mia certe volte gli sbirri fanno posti di blocco! Infatti penso che ancora una settimana al massimo e poi provvederò subito a raccogliere e seccare, xke la situazione di sta facendo davvero troppo rischiosa.. A parte questo la ragazza sta proprio esplodendo! Ha completamente cambiato colore verso un violaceo nero quasi scuro, causa le temp ma anche il fenotipo già tendeva verso questa colorazione, la pianta in sé è davvero immensa più di 180 cm in un vaso da 12.5 litri, questo significa che i nutrienti plagron sono davvero fenomenali! Stanno gonfiando le cime in modo assurdo e senza che ci sia una minima carenza nelle foglie più basse! Non avendola toppata ne altro è venuta grande a stile di albero di natale! Davvero impressionante! L odore è molto pungente sentori di frutti di bosco e bacche rosse, nn saprei distinguere bene, vedremo poi piu avanti, l unico problema è questo odore motlo intenso e fragrante si sta diffondendo anche nelle abitazioni circostanti sopratutto la sera quindi sono preoccupato che qualcuno possa fare un infamata e mi rovinerebbe la vita.. Apparte ciò speriamo che nn faccia muffa xke l umidità la notte è davvero alta, per adesso nn ho avuto ancora di questi problemi per fortuna, una genetica molto resistente sembra a questo tipo di stress.. Speriamo bene incrociamo le dita e fate una preghiera per me! Alla prossima settimana! Vi adoro e un buon 420 a tutti voi! 💪😸🌱🌿🌲🍀🤤😽💨❄️🇵🇸
