Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

2 of my Blueberries were root bound one more than the other.. i transplanted them into soil in a bigger pot. I Have a bunch of strains going on but one vegging mother soon ready to get in under the CFL. Loving the HPS tho wont go back to LED any time soon. Feeding with CANNA terra nute line and using the last Bud candy and big bud from Advanced Nutrients before going full canna. The monster crop was a succes but it took long before shooting. Hope my other clone will do better. I have a very healthy strawberry banana that will be my motherplant as well as a sweet valley kush that are just a seedling now. I am very happy with the HPS from phillips it work wonder in my oppinion :) I started 12/12 as well this week

D33 (24/12/2020): First week of flowering. Both officially went into flower 4-5 days ago but I decided to finish the week before starting first flower week. I fed around 3L of water today, they were thirsty. I mixed full recommended dose of nutrients for last week of veg in 1,75 gal. of water. I want to go slow in reintroducing nutrients after 2 flush last week. - temp: 25C - water: approx. 3L per plant, PH6.4. 600 PPM - run off: 900 PPM for Banana Kush and 800 PPM for Glue Gelato - RH: 54% D34 (25/12/2020): Nothing special today except that it's Christmas, everything is going well. RH is higher today since higher temperature where I live but nothing crazy. - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 58% D35 (26/12/2020): I removed leaves under canopy today and fed with a gallon of water + minerals each plant. - temp: 25C - water: approx. 3,75L per plant, PH6.8, 350 PPM - run off: 750 PPM for Banana Kush and 600 PPM for Glue Gelato - RH: 55% D36 (27/12/2020): I readjusted some ties because they are stretching like crazy! The buds are forming and more pistils are showing. - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 53% D37 (28/12/2020): Still readjusting the ties and removed leaves today. The lights are now at 24 inch and plants receive around 495-525 PPFD (38 0000 to 40 000 lux). I'm aiming to go above 600 PPFD in the next week. I will check how they react with more light. - temp: 24C - no water - RH: 54% D38 (29/12/2020): I gave approx. 3.5 L of water per plant. I used 3/4 of the recommended dose for transition week. - temp: 25C - water: approx. 3.5L per plant, PH 6.4, 720 PPM - run off: 900 PPM and PH6.8 for Glue Gelato; 800 PPM and 6.8PH for Banana Kush - RH: 54% D39 (30/12/2020): Removed more leaves under canopy. - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 54%

Third week in bloom. Everything is going well. My only concern is that I have defoliated too much and my humidity is too high. Difficult to get it down when it's just raining outside. I'll see what happens... 19.12.2023 I've made some space and flanged my old 60x60x120cm tent on the right site and switched on another PC fan. I hope I haven't made a serious mistake. All fans repositioned. And everything is taped off so that no light comes in. That was too crowded. Next time 4 or 5 will be enough for me.

This week 2 of Veg went really well! Overall I just continued the same nutrient feeding regiment I used last week just without a few due to them being Organic amendments they'll break down into the Soil releasing slowly so I'll amend with them again before Flower. I used Fish Shit or Fish Emulsion at a rate of 1tsp per gal and gave them both a Liter of the solution. The ppm was 200 and EC of 400. Then, a day of just H2O. Next, I gave them the MaxiGrow at a rate of 1tsp per gal and gave them a L each. The ppm was 710 and EC of 1420. Next, I gave them just H20. Then, I gave them Real Growers Soil Recharge at a rate of 1tsp per gal. The ppm was 105 and EC of 210. Then, I gave them The Stash Blend at a rate of 1tsp per gal, PPM of 705 EC of 1410. Oh I need to mention my H20 is always at a PH of 7.0 and all my Nutrient Solutions are a PH of 6.2. due to my grow medium being Soil. That's all for this week but overall what easy growing, well spacing, evenly looking, and nicely branching plants!!

Semaine 3 - Phase Végétative : Journal de Culture pour la Dognabis Cup (Concours DogDoctor)Strain : Zamnesia Permanent Marker Système de culture : Hydroponie Ebb & Flow sur billes d'argile expansé Nutrition : Aptus (programme adapté à la phase végé, EC cible à 2.2 mS/cm) Éclairage : 1000W full spectrum, contrôlé par Trolmaster Tent X (augmentation progressive de 10 PPFD par semaine) Contrôle environnemental : Total via Trolmaster (climat, lumière, CO2, VPD) Objectif global : Maximiser la structure buissonnante pour la floraison future, en visant des monstres... mais adaptation forcée au switch précoce ! Salut la team DogDoctor et la communauté Dognabis Cup ! Voici le récap de ma semaine 3 en végé pour ma Zamnesia Permanent Marker. Cette strain est une bête : elle pousse vite, dense et résineuse, mais comme vous le verrez, je dois déjà anticiper un switch en 12/12 plus tôt que prévu à cause de mes autres plantes en avance (qui stressent pour du temps extra en végé). Pas de monstres XXL cette fois, mais on optimise ce qu'on peut avec du LST/FIM et une gestion fine de l'hydro. Nutrition Aptus qui cartonne, et enfin, le pH s'est stabilisé après des débuts chaotiques – plus de corrections quotidiennes, ouf ! État des PlantesLes bébés Permanent Marker sont en pleine explosion : tiges solides, feuilles larges et dark green, avec une bonne ramification grâce au LST et FIM appliqués cette semaine. J'ai plié et attaché les tops pour une canopée uniforme (environ 4-5 nœuds principaux par plante), et topping sur les plus vigoureuses pour booster les côtés. Croissance verticale contrôlée à ~15-20 cm de hauteur moyenne, mais la densité racinaire est top dans les billes d'argile – pas de signes de stress oxygène. Malheureusement, les autres plantes du run (pas en concours) sont déjà en train de s'étirer et demandent du 12/12 ; je vais devoir les stresser (légèrement réduire les nutriments ou eau) pour grappiller 3-5 jours de végé extra ici. Objectif : ne pas dépasser 4 semaines total en végé pour synchroniser le tout. Pas l'idéal pour des colosses, mais la qualité prime pour la Cup ! Environnement et ContrôlesTout est verrouillé via Trolmaster : température stable autour de 24°C (cible), humidité à 70% (parfait pour la végé), CO2 à 900 PPM (maintien manuel pour booster la photosynthèse). VPD optimal à ~0.9 kPa, ce qui colle pile aux recos Aptus pour éviter transpiration excessive. Lumière augmentée de 10 PPFD comme prévu (maintenant à ~679 PPFD moyen en zone flo), et les graphs montrent une belle stabilité – pas de pics chaotiques. Pour l'hydro : marées réduites de 2 min (maintenant ~15-20 min par cycle) et 2 cycles en moins par jour (de 8 à 6), pour durcir les racines sans noyade. Solution à EC 2.2 (up de 0.2 cette semaine pour suivre la faim végé), pH enfin stable à 6.07 (après des ajustements quotidiens les 2 premières semaines – merci les tampons Aptus !). EC solution à 2.16 mS/cm, temp eau à 17.9°C (refroidisseur au top). Mousture moyenne à 90% – bien drainé, zéro anaérobie. Données Récapitulatives de la SemaineVoici un tableau synthétique des stats clés (moyennes sur Mon/Dim/Nuit pour les zones "Plantes" et "Chambre", basées sur les logs app).

Notes sur les données : PPFD bas en "Dim" car cycles lumière éteints ; focus sur Mon/Nuit pour les moyennes actives. Graphs 24h confirment : Temp stable entre 22-24.5°C, Humidité 58-74%, VPD ~0.7-1.0 kPa, sans outage.Défis et AjustementspH instable résolu : Les 2 premières semaines, je corrigeais tous les jours (oscillations 5.8-6.5 dues à l'hydro neuf). Cette semaine, boom – stable à 6.07 grâce aux stabilisateurs Aptus et monitoring Trolmaster. Victoire ! Switch forcé : Les autres plantes en avance m'obligent à floraison précoce (semaine 4 max). J'aurais aimé 6 semaines pour des monstres, mais on priorise la synchro. Plan B : stresser les leaders (réduire EC de 0.1 sur elles) pour +2-3 jours végé ici. LST/FIM : Appliqué mid-semaine – tops pliés, nœuds boostés. Pas de topping supplémentaire pour éviter stress avant switch. Objectifs Semaine 4 (Transition Végé/Flo)Continuer l'augmentation lumière : +10 PPFD encore (cible ~750 PPFD pour fin végé). Légère baisse EC (à 2.0) pour anticiper flo, sans choc. Arrêter LST/FIM : Laisser repousser librement, focus sur récupération. Tirer max de végé : Stresser les autres plantes (eau/nutriments light) pour retarder leur switch – grappiller du temps pour ces Permanent Marker. Monitoring renforcé : VPD

This was another hot, hot week with a big rainstorm. Take a look at the measuring cup, it is full of rainwater. Dosidos continues to smell and is very sticky. It is a tall with stacked buds. I am interested to see how big the buds will be. Half way through this grow, I had to stop using Miracle Grow and change my grow plan. I decide to use Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice for the rest of the grow. Jungle Juice’s selling point is that it is the only nutrient that I should need during the entire grow. One just need to make the solution stronger as the plant matures. The directions say to “stir vigorously” and that is true. It is very clumpy and I had to stir and shake the bottle a lot. As your plant is in veg and growing larger, directions say to up your Jungle Juice to 4 ml per liter. If my calculations are correct, I am using approx. 5 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket. 1 gal is 3.78 liters 5 gallons=18.92 liters 4ml jungle juice per liter x 18.92 liters= 75.7 ml which is = to 5.119 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket of water As the end of the summer is quickly approaching, I have spent some time reflecting this week on all of the contests that I have entered and not won this summer. It can be a little frustrating because of all the time I have spent taking pictures and writing commentary. But, instead of it getting me down, I have to think about all of the positive take aways and I want to share them on this platform. I have read a lot of diaries and now know why I am just an apprentice. I have a lot to learn from all of you. There are some really good growers with a lot of experience and crazy grow techniques. So much knowledge is on this platform-it’s mind boggling. To be a great grower, you must be willing to be vulnerable and put yourself out there and try different suggestions and new techniques. I have made a few friend that I enjoy chatting with. I enjoy reading comments versus just seeing likes. My best friend on grow diaries is @Natrona and my neighbor as well. She has been growing longer than I have been so I routinely learn from her. This summer I learned to mix 1 cup of Perlite into my soil. I can see where my plants need the air flow. And, I now I only defoliate fan leaves that absolutely need to be gone. I let the fan leaves stay on until they fall off. I want my buds to pull all the nutrients they can out of the fan leaves. I also bought 2 new tools that @natrona suggested. The first was a water PH tester and the second was my Max-ee Magnifier which is informative and fun to use. As always, Let’s Chat it up AND Likes and comments are appreciated

Last week i stripped some more leaves of and small buds from the lower parts of some branches... It was gettin very leafy ... Did the leaf strippin in 2 days with 24 hours in between.. Also did this technique where u twist the branch til u hear a snap... did this on all the lower branches .. Gave her canna cure for the leafes and to make sure there are no bugs... Also there was some wind and it knocked the buds around a bit, so she got some bruised white hairs here and there... Solved the problem by giving some support with wire Stil 5 drops of power buds 5 drops of sugar royal And the basic pokon nutrition... Mixed with 0.5 liters of mineral water I think we are goin into week 4 of flower now... Doin fine.. cya next week friends 👍🌴

What more can I say it's Day 50 the plant is coming along beautifully I was worried at first as it looked like it might have been having some growth issues but my fears were dispelled. She's starting to change colours but still has tons of white hair so I asked the maid at least another three weeks till harvest I could be mistaken I will keep testing the plant to see how the trichomes are developing hey hey Day 51 and i took a small clipping to put under the microscope and she is getting nice and cloudy with some amber, nex time im getting and black base so both you and i can see better Day 52 and I'm starting to see more Amber trichomes. I'm doing the best I can to get his clothes a picture of the actual bud as I can with my phone seeing as I don't have a laptop to bring my microscope into the grow room Day 53 so i took a clipping from one of the buds at the top and it has almost no amber tricombs go fig lol maybe i have a bit more after all. maybe i will hit that 70 day mark hello again its Day 56 and it's the last day of this week's cycle still on the wall about whether I should flush starting Saturday. Just about all trichomes are cloudy with my estimate being about 10% Amber. I could probably push it another week I'm just not sure I want 30 to 50% Amber trichomes. I hope you enjoy the photos I uploaded I decided to get some more up close and personal photos using my phone they're not quite as good as I microscope but the app I use does a pretty good job. Stay tuned for next week's update where we'll finally learn whether I flush or don't LOL

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

Critical is finishing way fast.. don't know if I can keep her alive till next weekend but heck I'll try and let her die on her foot if she has to:) Been flushing all the other gals twice now. Temps are getting out of hands and I've raised the lamps to about 40-50cm height running only 50ish percent and I'm still burning them up. Been feeding them way too much since the beginning so there should be enough nutrients in the soil to finish up properly with just water. Noticed a couple of fresh nanners popping up here and there and at least one almost fully matured seed on the faster Critical, nothing too serious and no wonder since all the issues I've been running. Loads of tiny foxtailing on almost all of the plants even though I always raised the lamps a bit when i saw them forming.. definitely need a PAR meter since two 300W+ led panels are quite an overkill on a tent this size full blast. Still looks like solid harvest coming up and I hope to find a decent glass on sale to getter better quality photos on the harvest:) Keep on growing guys and enjoy the newest timelapse! Needed the gopro for a few days so some of the days are bit off.. I know the last photos from Canon are from D55 so should have more accurate dates on the upcoming videos
