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

Sensi Seeds Research – „Cherry Strudel“ ​Willkommen zu einem weiteren Kapitel unserer botanischen Analyse! In diesem Projekt untersuchen wir die Sorte Cherry Strudel aus der Research-Linie von Sensi Seeds. Ein besonderer Dank gilt Sensi Seeds für die Bereitstellung der feminisierten Samen im Rahmen dieser Dokumentation. ​ Sortenprofil – Cherry Strudel (Sensi Seeds) ​Genetik: Diese zu 65 % Indica-dominante Hybride ist eine komplexe Kreuzung aus Ed Rosenthal Super Bud und einer Mischung aus Red Velvet sowie Lemon Cherry Gelato. In Kooperation mit Sherbinskis entwickelt, fließen hier Einflüsse von Sunset Sherbert und Girl Scout Cookies ein. ​Wuchs & Morphologie: Die Pflanzen wachsen zu relativ niedrigen (70 bis 100 cm indoor), aber sehr produktiven Einheiten heran. Charakteristisch ist die klassische Weihnachtsbaumform mit einer dominanten zentralen Cola und starken Seitenzweigen, die sich hervorragend für Techniken wie SCROG oder Lollipopping eignen. ​Blühdauer: Mit 65 bis 70 Tagen weist der Cherry Strudel eine relativ lange Blütezeit auf, die wir in unserem Protokoll genauestens überwachen werden. ​Terpenprofil & Aroma: Wir erwarten ein dekadentes Bouquet aus Kirschsorbet, Zitronenschale und cremiger Vanille, ergänzt durch subtile erdige Untertöne. ​Wirkung: Die Sorte verspricht eine vielseitige Erfahrung – beginnend mit einem euphorischen Energieschub, der allmählich in eine tiefe, körperliche Entspannung übergeht, ohne einen vollständigen „Couchlock“ zu verursachen. ​⚙️ Experimentelles Setup ​Unser bewährtes Stufensystem: ​Start: Spiderfarmer Pflanzständer (54W LED) bei ca. 140 PPFD / 9DLI und 18h Beleuchtung. ​Substrat-Zyklus: Easyplug (30ml) ➔ Easy Cube (400ml) ➔ 3L Stofftopf ​Mikroklima: 25°C und 65-70% RLF. Cherry Strudel (Sensi Seeds Research) ​Status: Keimung im Rekordtempo ​Tag 0.1: Das Paket von Sensi Seeds wurde in Empfang genommen und der Samen ging direkt für 10h ins 1% H202 Bad, anschließend in den Easyplug. ​Tag 0.2: Geduldsphase? Von wegen. Die Sensi-Genetik zeigt enorme Vitalität. ​​Tag 0.3: Rekordzeit! Die Cherry Strudel hat die Oberfläche bereits voll durchbrochen. Die Keimblätter sind geöffnet und das erste echte Blattpaar lässt sich im Zentrum schon erahnen. Aufgrund dieses Tempos wurde sie direkt mit in den 400 ml Easy Cube umgesetzt. Das DLI wurde auf 16 erhöht. ​Tag 0.4: Alles unter Kontrolle. Die Pflanze zeigt extrem vitales Wachstum und gewöhnt sich an die „Elektro-Sonne“. ​Tag 0.5: Die ersten echten Blätter entfalten sich sehr schnell. Die Pflanze wirkt sehr kräftig. ​Tag 0.6: Die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit wird auf 60–65 % gehalten. Die Oberfläche des Cubes wird zur Algenprävention gezielt abgetrocknet. ​Tag 0.7: Abschluss der Keimwoche. Die Cherry Strudel zeigt eine beeindruckende Blattentwicklung und hat die Hossegor in der Blattspannweite bereits leicht überholt. ​Düngung & Messwerte: Kein Dünger oder Wasser notwendig, da der Cube noch ausreichend feucht ist und Nährstoffe bereithält. ​Messwerte: Temp: 25°C | RLF: 65-70% | Licht: Erhöht auf 245 PPFD (18h). ​⚖️ Rechtshinweis & Compliance ​Dieses Tagebuch dient ausschließlich der wissenschaftlichen Dokumentation. Wir garantieren die strikte Einhaltung des CanG.

Just seeing if the little buds develop any more this week, and the the chop is imminent! I need some space in the tent! Although I've just trimmed 2 big plants, and this one will be an undertaking for certain! Lovely big, fat, frosty buds! What's not to love?! Here is what I did this week: 26.6.25: I watered with 4L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing no nutrients. PH: 6.3 PPM: 336 28.6.25: I gave 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with the following nutrients; ♡ 1/2 Tsp Cal-Mag PH: 6.6 PPM:1060 + 2 Litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 and containing: ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion ♡ 1/4 Tsp Sea K(elp) PH: 6.6 PPM: 1170 29.6.25: I watered with 4L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6-6.2 and containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6-6.2 PPM: 1060 Thanks for stopping by 💚😊🍃✌️🌱

Flower Week 6 Day 42 to 48 - 4/29 to 5/5 They both look very healthy this week. The calyx are swelling with maturing hairs, the pistols are orange, the trichomes are mostly white, and the leaves are fading/changing colors - still not ripe enough for me, but flushing with half nute feeds now. Feed this week was another auto pot reservoir flush feed at 400ppm total before add-ins. I used 400ppm of Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). And then, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0). PH balance this week was for 5.8 where I plan to maintain it until harvest. Next week will continue the same half nute feed. I will continue to monitor the signs of trichomes, pistols, and calyx for a better harvest and allow the buds to mature more.

Well, the drought stress in week 11 really fucked my plants up, but Twiggy recovered, while Zoey was hurt pretty bad. If I did nothing, I'm betting harvest would've been 25% more, and Zoey's buds wouldn't look so crappy, but overall, I was so happy with this grow! I was under a time crunch, so only did minimal veg for 4 weeks, topping once. Daily watering with 1.8EC mix that was pretty consistent. Kept pH between 5.5 and 5.8. Kept tight control on humidity and temperature up to mid flower, then kept air circulation on to keep room humidity around 55% Things I'd do differently: 1. Veg longer - I'd love to try a mainline 2. Canopy control - wish I had spent the time on a SCROG screen, or at least a couple of rings. 3. More light sooner into flower. Waited about 4 weeks into flower before maxing out the light. Probably could've bulked them up significantly if I started earlier 4. Drought stressing - For Fucks Sake, keep a close eye on your plants, and the minute they start to wilt, get the water back on 'em!!! 5. Measure your run-off more frequently for salt build-up. Didn't have any problems, but it's a good best practice. 6. Set up proper closed-loop environment to allow for CO2 enrichment. 7. Set up a clone environment before you get to flower. Oops. Things I was happy with: 1. VPD control system (heat, humidity) during veg and early flower worked flawlessly. Never any nute burn, and super healthy plants. 2. Sterilized soil and grow-room before starting - never had a single bug or any mold/mildew issues. Used a MERV 13 filter on the air intake, exhaust through carbon to crawlspace. 3. Coco/perlite mix - super drainage, low build-up, very healthy roots. 4. Power meter - neat way to measure what's really going into the grow, so when your wife complains about power usage, you can show her the real numbers. 5. Photone app on Android S20 - Knew where my PPFD was for optimal growth control. 6. REX-C100 PID controller for toaster oven - super tight temperature control comes in handy for decarbing as well as toasting oak for moonshine.

This out grow for me is extreme, cause daylight time less than 12 hours, Just awful weather, and at night temperature is 15 degrees. Despite all the difficulties Blackberry grows very vigorously and healthy. I am sure this strain will grow in any conditions.Nice genetics. Plant have already started flowering, so fast, and easy strain. For now buds r green, maybe just got the green pheno, or still early and i will see purple colors, color is not important to me. Still weak smells like berries, very tasty. Thanks Fast Buds, nice genetics, and thank to everyone who follow my grow report, Peace!😇

Day 67 buds getting bigger and bigger. One plants is definitely can see nugs swelling and other starting to also. Prob has another two weeks I like a couch like high so wanna harvest little later.but have my jeweler loop to check teicroms. The smell is crazy a sweet and skunky smell.when you touch the nugs smell fruity sweet aroma. Day 71 end of week 6. Everything seems to be going well. I know one plants will be ready before others just when is the questions. Got some good answers on grow questions so thinking at least a week. But I will keep checking trichromes. The look kind milky but not Ambers yet. Going to start flushing here on out.

Dia de riego, claramente una no se ve tan saludable como la otra, ya que bebe mas agua y necesita mas dosis de nitrógeno. Comenzare a regarlas con dosis por separado para reforzar a la mas débil.

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der sechsten Blütewoche, schwellen nun die Blütenköpfe immer weiter an. Die Blütenbildung entwickelt sich prächtig und es wirkt, als hätte man überall wundervolle Inseln mit richtig schönen Buds. Die Blätter im oberen Bereich fangen an sich langsam rötliche bis lilafarben zu verfärben. Das Aroma wird immer intensiver. Insgesamt hat die Pflanze ein sehr großes und breitgefächertes Wuchsbild und ist insgesamt ziemlich groß. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aufgrund der Luftfeuchtigkeit etwas unregelmäßig aber immer im Rahmen. ————— 🌞 Temp: 24°C 🌚 Temp: 19°C bis 20°C 💨 RH: 58% VPD: 0,91kPa👍 😎 PPFD: 830 mqm —————

Nice! So I fixed the issue with the discoloration I believe. Did not change the nutrients at all, only the PH. So what I learned originally from someone was to keep the PH between 5.5 and 6.5, so naturally I just kept it as close to 6 as possible as this is the middle. Doing some research on the deficiency I learned that Calcium gets absorbed best at 6.2 - 6.4 PH. So I have started to create a wave pattern up and down with the PH from 6.3 to 5.7 and back up again. Any issues with this? This IS what i'm so posed to be doing right?? The plants seem very healthy but the flowers seem to be growing a little slower then I would like. Nutirents is around 1350 and I'm using the same line and ingredients as previous very nice harvests? Maybe i just need to give the ladies anoerher week or 2 to put on some weight??
