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

This grow has just remained on autopilot, I am very pleased. I have cut back water a bit they were looking a little unhappy going to give them a dry back and not feed a whole day.

Welcome back at the first week in vegetative stage of my Sensi Amnesia. As you can see, she got repotted in a bigger pot with new BioBizz LightMix soil. So far the growth of this lady is good. I started my Honeywell ventilator to give very slight wind in my tent. Also my Sanlight LED is now running on 60% with 40cm distance. This week she gets time to comfort herself in the new environment. Hopefully she will get some new leafs. Day 12: gave her the first water after repotting and added BioBizz Bio Grow with 0,75ml/L Day 14: gave her 0,5l water with 0,5ml BioGrow per liter. End of week 1 without any trouble. It’s nice to see the progress over the last 7 days. Will keep this strategy next week I noticed, that my tab water has a pH level of 7,8. I mixed it with filtered water to get between 6 and 7 Keep in touch ! Cheers HighZenBerg

Hello, my green connoisseur! The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived—the Harvest Report for our botanical queen, Jealousy, in the Power Buds competition. This has been a journey filled with anticipation, and now, we stand on the shores of botanical triumph. Jealousy, in her final act, bestowed upon us a generous yield of 195 grams of dry bud. It's like a cornucopia of green abundance, a testament to the meticulous care and strategic decisions made throughout this green saga. Each nugget is a jewel, a culmination of weeks of growth, love, and dedication. But the story doesn't end there. Jealousy, in her love for the trim bin, gifted us a beautiful golden pollen. This precious powder, transformed into ash via the French Cannoli style. Also gave me a Charas/Finger Ash ball. It's like capturing the essence of the plant in a tangible form—a botanical relic that encapsulates the spirit of our green empress. Now, let's talk about the auditory symphony that accompanied the harvest. The sound, reminiscent of a tree making timber, is like nature's applause for the bountiful harvest. It's the soundtrack to a successful cultivation venture, a melody that resonates through the grow room, echoing the grand finale of this green symphony. The drying process, carried out over two weeks with a temperature of 17°C and humidity at 58%, is like the slow and methodical crafting of a fine wine. Each day, the buds undergo a transformative journey, evolving from freshly harvested flowers to dried and cured masterpieces. And now, the pièce de résistance—the preservation of terps with the Grove Bag featuring Terploc technology. It's like locking the aromatic essence of Jealousy in a time capsule, ensuring that every toke carries the full spectrum of flavors and aromas. The anticipation for the smoke report is palpable, as the strawberry candy profile promises an exquisite sensory experience. Reflecting on this entire journey, from germination to harvest, it's like turning the pages of a botanical epic. The decisions, the challenges, and the moments of sheer joy have shaped the destiny of our green empress. It's a narrative that will be retold, shared, and cherished in the annals of our horticultural adventures. As we conclude this harvest report, let's extend our heartfelt thanks and shout-outs to Zamnesia, Plagron, Grow Diaries, and the vibrant community. Your support and contributions have been the guiding lights on this extraordinary green expedition. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your own harvests be as abundant, flavorful, and joyous as this one. Here's to the culmination of our shared green dreams, the thrill of the harvest, and the anticipation of what lies ahead. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only.

Been hitting her with the Bio Bizz nutes and looking good so far. However, she IS turning purple and it's a bit concerning to me. The purple is nice tho, not gonna lie. Can't wait to see how fat she's going to be in the next few weeks.

Hey GrowDiaries! What a week it’s been! My plant’s growth has been off the charts, reaching an impressive height of 96 centimeters. 🌿📏 Here’s the scoop: Burst of Growth: This plant's not just growing; it's soaring! Reached a towering 96cm in height. Feels like it's reaching for the stars! Bloom Phase Nutrition: Still on track with the bloom-specific nutrition. It’s all about giving the plant exactly what it needs during this crucial phase. Telegram Bot Tweaks: I’ve upgraded my trusty Telegram bot. Squashed some bugs and made it even smarter. Now, it shows the status of the automated watering system along with the usual temperature, humidity, and other vital stats. Alert Threshold Adjustments: I’ve customized the alert thresholds to match the plant’s current phase. If, for instance, the temperature spikes, I get a notification. Staying one step ahead! A Problem-Free Week: Overall, the week went super smooth, and the plant looks absolutely fabulous. It's thriving, and I couldn’t be happier. And a short update on my plans for next week. I'm gearing up for some tech tweaks in my green haven. 🌿🔧 Here's what's on the agenda: Calibrating the Soil Moisture Sensor: Next week, I'm planning to calibrate my soil moisture sensor. It’s a nifty piece of tech that uses capacitive technology. So, how does it work? These sensors measure the water content in the soil based on the electrical capacitance. Basically, the more water in the soil, the higher the capacitance. It’s like a mini superpower for understanding soil moisture! Dealing with Environmental Factors: The catch is, the sensor's readings can be influenced by temperature and air humidity. I plan to make some smart corrections to minimize these effects. The goal? To get super accurate moisture readings, unaffected by external conditions. It’s all about precision! With these tweaks, I'm aiming for a perfect balance in my plant's environment. Fingers crossed for a week of tech triumphs and happy plants! That’s all for now, GD. Can't wait to see what the next week has in store for us! 🚀🌺

This journal hasn’t been abandoned!! I had to travel for work so I haven’t been able to tend to this grow or update this journal as I intended to. I am fortunate enough to have someone interested and capable of taking care of my grow for me and they have been doing quite well at keeping things going. Pics from day 75 since germination start! Maintaining weekly water changes and feeding following GH 10 part chart and ph to 5.8-6.5 Chop and update coming soon!

🌿 Woche 3 – Vegetative Phase (19.–26. Oktober) Die Mädels sind jetzt deutlich in der Hauptvegetation angekommen. Das Wachstum hat sich in dieser Woche sichtbar beschleunigt: kräftige Stiele, gleichmäßige Kronenbildung und eine stabile, tiefgrüne Blattfarbe prägen das Gesamtbild. Die Spider Farmer SE3000 läuft inzwischen auf 55 % Leistung (≈ 480 µmol/m²/s · DLI ≈ 30–31) und liefert eine gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung über die gesamte Fläche. Keine Pflanze zeigt Lichtstress oder Verbrennungen – das Canopy ist geschlossen und harmonisch. 📋 Aktuelle Eindrücke Canopy: gleichmäßig, kräftige Farbe, leichtes „Lifting“ der oberen Blätter – Zeichen hoher Photosyntheseaktivität. Substrat: lebendig und locker, leichte Mikroflora sichtbar – ein gesundes, aktives Bodenleben. Klima: Tag: 25–26 °C · rLF 50–55 % Nacht: Werte folgen (wird nachgetragen) Sehr stabile Bedingungen, idealer VPD-Bereich für starkes vegetatives Wachstum. Lichtabstand: aktuell ~60–65 cm – optimal bei 55 % Leistung. 💧 Gieß- und Nährstoffplan Zyklus alle 2–3 Tage, abhängig von der Trocknung der Töpfe: 1️⃣ Bactrex-Tee (~1 g/L) auf trockene Erde 2️⃣ Reines Wasser (pH ≈ 6.5) 3️⃣ Orgatrex (2 ml/L, kein Run-off, langsam gegossen) Die Erde trocknet gleichmäßig in 48–72 h – ein deutliches Zeichen für starke Wurzelaktivität. 🌱 Strain-Layout / Zeltanordnung Position Sorte Kurzbeschreibung Front L/R Cherry Poppers × 2 🍒 kompakt, symmetrisch, satte Farbe, ruhiger, gleichmäßiger Wuchs Center-L (gelber Topf) Karate Kit 🥋 kompakter Phänotyp, kräftiger Mitteltrieb, frühe Seitentriebe Center-R (terracotta) Lemon Orange 🍋 größte Pflanze im Zelt, breite Fächerblätter, moderater Stretch Back L/R White Gorilla Haze × 2 🦍 dunkelgrün, buschig, enge Nodien, stabile Struktur 📸 Visuelle Entwicklung (19. → 24. Oktober) Vom Start der Woche bis heute hat sich das Canopy sichtbar verdichtet. Die Pflanzen stehen kompakt, zeigen kräftige Stiele und einen gleichmäßigen Aufbau. Die Blattfarbe ist tiefgrün mit leicht glänzender Oberfläche – Hinweis auf optimale Ernährung und Photosynthese. White Gorilla Haze (Back L/R): buschig und dicht, starke Blattmasse, kräftige Blatttiefe. Lemon Orange (Center-R): größte Pflanze im Bestand, breite Blätter, gleichmäßiger Stretch. Karate Kit (Center-L): symmetrischer Aufbau mit deutlicher lateraler Entwicklung. Cherry Poppers (Front L/R): kompakt, gleichmäßig, ruhig wachsend – klassischer Indica-Habitus. Das Gesamtbild des Zeltes ist geschlossen und vital. Keine Mängel, kein Lichtstress, keine Verformungen. 🧠 Notizen & Beobachtungen Luftfeuchte bei 50–55 % halten – kurzzeitig anheben, wenn sie unter 45 % fällt. Umtopfen in 18 L Endtöpfe, sobald die Wurzelballen vollständig durchzogen sind (voraussichtlich Anfang Woche 4). LST-Training ab der 5.–6. Nodie geplant. Aktuelle Lichtleistung (55 %) bleibt bis zum Umtopfen konstant – PPFD und Temperatur perfekt ausbalanciert. ✅ Fazit – Woche 3 Eine rundum stabile und produktive Vegetationswoche. Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich kräftig, gesund und gleichmäßig; keine Stresssymptome oder Mängel. Das Klima ist konstant, das Substrat aktiv, und die Beleuchtung optimal abgestimmt. Woche 3 hat das Fundament für Training und Umtopfen in Woche 4 gelegt. Gesamtbewertung: 🌿 9.5 / 10 Vitales, ausgeglichenes Wachstum – starke Struktur, gesunde Blätter und lebendiger Boden.

The harvest was simple and an absolute pleasure. I did a wet trim and thought later maybe i should have did a dry trim? Please share your opinions.

Grow is going great. The bigger pheno has taken to the bamboo shoots really well & now both plants are growing really well. Coming into preflower without a care in the world. Days 29-32 2nd/2/ Growth is steady. I really haven't done anything differently so there's not much to report on. Keeping the feed ppm steady & I haven't touched anything LST or any defols. I haven't had the need. It'll do a good amount of stretching over the next few days. I haven't switched to bloom feed yet. Maybe in a few days. 3rd/3 Day 33 Growing like nothing in her way. Moving like a pair of mad women. Added 500ml of Master Root/Enzymes/Calmag ph'ed to 6.9, little higher than I'd like but I wasn't wasting a mix for a point out of what I normally give. 5th/2 day 35 Wow, just blow away by the growth in 2 days. DAMN Herbies got it going DOWN. She has one or 2 blemishes. Still learning the nutrients. With these you can only improve the more you use, I'd she'll easily put on another 20-25cm for each plant. One is much bigger. DISCOUNT CODES 20 OFF ZAMNESIA WITH CODE: ZAMMIGROW2024 20% OFF XPERT NUTRIENTS& KANNABIA WITH CODE: GGST 20% off Oringal Sensible Seeds with code:

The video says enough. Week 3 of flowering. I put them in a dark place for 12 hours so the flowering begon earlier. I live in the Netherlands so the autumn is not nice for weed plants.
