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

KINDA DISPPOINTING THIS TIME. REALLY TOUGH TO GROW OUTDOORS. JUST SO MANY VARIABLES NOT UNDER MY CONTROL. ALL THE GALS WERE GROWING AT DIFFERENT PACE. ALSO I USED A DIFFERENT SOIL THIS TIME. SO THAT COULD HAVE EFFECT THE GROW. I SHOULD REALLY JUST GROW AUTOS INDOORS WHICH IS WHAT IM USED TO. I TEND TO VEG PHOTOS OUTDOORS THEN BRING INSIDE TO FLOWER. SAVE MORE ENERGY. BUT THE PROBLEM IS JUST BRING PEST INSIDE THE TENT. ALWAYS SOMETHING TO BATTLE. MORE I DO THE MORE I LEARN. STILL FAR FROM FINISH. NOT A GOOD HARVEST THIS TIME. I'LL SAVE THE REST AUTOS INDOORS NEXT TIME.

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior. El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas. Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

Another week is over. I've been a bit short on time and this week has been really busy, but here we go... it seems to be fine, except for some of the leaves looking a bit burnt and yellow, probably due to the increased nutrient load in the last few weeks. They've been eating a lot and the smell is really delicious. Happy growing! 🌱🌱🌿

She stretched more than I wanted, but well, another lesson learned with the scrog, the smell is starting to get stronger and I like it. It reminds me of the Birthday Cake smell.

Week 4 – Veg Victory & Pre-Flower Moves! The first week in the big tent and wow — these girls absolutely took off! 🌱 Under the SANlight EVOs they didn’t slow down for a second, just kept pushing hard towards the light. The Lemon Cherry Runtz are now running neck and neck with the Papaytons, and both lines are showing super tight structure with thick stems and beautiful color. Even better, the stem rubs are already screaming with terps — seriously, the aromas coming off them at this stage are insane. Couldn’t resist: I picked one standout Papayton, one Lemon Cherry Runtz, and one Biscotti Gelato. All three went into the flower tent after I took cuttings, so I can show you how their buds stack up much earlier. The Biscotti Gelato girls are about two weeks behind, but you can tell they’re pushing hard to catch up. I left the other pheno with the rest in veg — she’ll have a bit more time to build herself up before the flip. The rest are staying in veg for now to really bulk up. Next week I’ll top them, take another round of cuttings, and then it’s their turn to move into flower. These genetics are proving to be super impressive — vigorous growth, lush color, and already oozing character. Excited to see them show off what they can really do! 🔥💚

We did a wet manicure on this harvest, and hung the flowers for 10 days in 55% to 65% humidity with constant air flow. After 10 days, the flowers were cut into budlets and stored in 1/2 gallon mason jars for curing. The buds are now sitting between 57% and 61% RH in their curing jars. At 61% moisture content level, my 5x5 (or 2.32m2) tent produced 1.71 lbs or 775.71g which equals, roughly, 334g/m2. Anyone that enjoys a good, relaxing indica that also enhances creativity, this is one you have to try.

Well I'm not really sure where to start......Got a lot of work done around the garden this week. Got the first load of boards up on the fence and I've been bracing as I go. Grass all trimmed down and some of the inside of the plants, it was a mosquito magnet in there, wasn't fit to be in, it has gotten better. I gave them what I had left of Gaia Green 4-4-4, which was 3 cups each a little shy of what I wanted to put in so I have another bag coming here very shortly and we will top it up then.So far between everything in the garden right now we have went thru 20kg of 4-4-4, minus 6 cups for the indoor peyote super soil. Also getting some trellis as I thought I had enough from last year but cant seem to find it anywhere. They're getting pretty big now kinda makes me worry a bit, never thought they would be this big..... Purple Punch, #1: 73 inches, #2: 76 inches, #3: 78 inches Orange Sherbert, #1: 76 inches, #2: 72 inches, #3: 69 inches I got some lady bugs today and have released them. I'm hoping to be able to pick up enough boards next time I come home that I can finish closing it in. I won't be closing in the south side, I'm just going to be using the cage, please don't make me regret this...... I would really like to see the stretch set in like NOW but thats not going to happen, maybe next time I'm home we'll start to see flowers, if they don't get wrecked in the mean time, gotta get my wall up!!!!! I'm also going to be setting up an automated curing system this week, I'll have pictures up next week.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had partly cloudy skies, low humidity, and temps in the lower 80's. I watered about 1/4 gallons from the water hose for each pot. Day 2 we had lite showers in the morning, partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 80's the remainder of the day. The rain provided the water today. Day 3 we had showers in the early morning until afternoon. Then it was mostly sunny with high temperature around 79. I noticed a few spots of powdery mildew on the leaves. I removed the leaves. Day 4 we had lots of sunshine and temperatures in the low 80's. I watered about a half gallon out of the water hose. Day 5 we had thunderstorms, rain, and drizzle early morning and intermittently throughout the day. Temperatures were in the lower 80's. Day 6 we had thunderstorms and rain in the morning, then rain and drizzle intermittently throughout the day. High temperature for the day was 71°. It was raining so much I brought them inside. They've proven very resistant to boytritis, but this close to finish, I'm not testing them further. Four hours of rain in below 70°F temps at night is tuff enough. Day 7 we had lots of sunshine and high temperature around 84°. The #2 plant had a very mild outbreak of powdery mildew on the lower leaves this week. The #1 plant has proven immune. These girls are nearly finished. They've gotten loud smelling. The #2 plant smells like straight cat piss and very loud. The #1 plant smells like fruit roll ups berry and loud. I'll harvest these sometime next week. Over a very hardy strain that's taken a beating in the Ozarks Spring.
