Day 36 / Week 6 Issues, Solutions & Defoliation Log 1. Issues & Root Causes: Acute Ca/Mg Lockout ("Formula 1" Effect): Pushing metabolism to the absolute redline (DLI 55, CO₂ 1200 ppm, 29°C) triggered a severe root zone acidification down to pH 5.5 alongside high EC (2.5). Heavy potassium cation competition combined with acidic media blocked calcium and magnesium uptake, causing necrotic rust spots on the leaves within 4 hours. *Dehumidifier Failure: The 12L dehumidifier was overwhelmed by peak transpiration from four mature plants in coco, dropping air and Leaf-VPD well below safe thresholds and stalling the transpirational pull. 2. Implemented Solutions: Substrate Reset & Buffering:** Flushed the pots with an input EC of 1.5–1.9 mS/cm cut with tap water to introduce a natural bicarbonate buffer. Runoff stabilized right inside the ideal target window for bloom: pH 6.1–6.3 and EC 2.2–2.4 mS/cm Climate Recovery (30L Dehumidifier Upgrade): Installed a heavy-duty 30L unit, bringing humidity down to ~54% and holding air VPD at 1.44–1.50 kPa, which delivers an ideal Leaf-VPD of ~1.25–1.35 kPa Light Intensity Relief: Dialed PPFD down to ~520 µmol/m²/s (DLI ~37 mol/m²/d) to halt photo-oxidation of damaged leaf tissue and allow vascular recovery. 3. Defoliation & Lollipopping: Under-Canopy Strip: Stripped the entire lower third of foliage directly up to the trellis net line. Pruning Non-Productive Growth:** Cleaned out all shaded popcorn/larf bud sites and removed necrotic leaves damaged during the lockout. Airflow Tunnel Established:** Created an open air channel underneath the canopy and around the elevated fabric pots, preventing stagnant humidity pockets and redirecting full hydraulic pressure to the primary top colas. Day 38 Netafim bow instaled. Day 39 Mastered pH stability. It was dificult but now runoff are pH 6.1 ec 3.5 No lockouts. Happy Day 42 Swapped out the empty CO2 bottle today after running dry on Day 41. Dialing in relative humidity and VPD in a fully sealed room has been quite a challenge, but parameters are finally locked in: temperatures consistently above 28°C and VPD rock-steady at 1.4 kPa. Really hoping it stays this stable now, as constant swings in humidity and VPD are far from ideal for the plants. Just hoping no other equipment dies on me like the dehumidifier did 6 days ago! Canopy is looking strong and ready for peak flowering. Netabow watering a great.

Week 1 has started off well. The seedlings got planted with only one having a long tap. The all day 1 cloudy, drizzly, wet weather allowed for the taps to run without the top of the soil drying out. The outdoors game is real. Grasshoppers are already trying to take these out. Several were killed hanging on the outside of the pot this morning(day 3). I suspected the grasshoppers were nibbling on these but it turned out to be pharaoh ants. I found some slowly dying beside the plants. The Dr. Earth Bug Stop worked. They got sprayed at sundown and apparently the ants attack at night or early morning. They were barely moving and dying at 7.45 am. Pharoah ants are plant terrorists. They can nest up to 100ft away from where they feed and once they find a food source they are determined to eat it. I'm staying organic and trying to stop these guys but here on day 5 they've eaten some more including the seed leaves off of some Peach Crescendo seedlings. It's day 6 and I think I've beat the pharaoh ants. I had to spray liquid seven on the ground in a circle around the plants. Day 6 and no more of the plants were eaten. Overall it was a good week. Everyone survived the rigors of the great outdoors and are digging deep for next week.

Day 65, 14th of November 2020: Amazing week.... RQS Wedding Gelato does not strech a lot and pistils coming out nicely.... Original Sensible Seeds has amazing gentics they are so strechy except Black Ghost OG, rest of them crazyyyyyyy..... I also broke two of the sides from Gelato Original Sensible Seeds but fixed with tape and now all good lol 🤣🤣🤣 Pre flowers out and I really hope they stop growing lol. I also noticed that the Original Sensible Seeds strains have nice purple colours of the fan leave's stem. All the same fertilization happens every 2nd day with the mix above and ratio. One more thing: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so they receive 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when they will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week....

Am 16. Tag wurde die Dame getoppt und am Ende der Woche habe ich mit dem 1. LST begonnen.

Salut amis cultivateurs ✌️✂️🌿 Aujourd'hui je pose la nouvelle semaine 🗓️ Comment vous dire que je suis impressionnée ❗ Les plante ce développement a merveille voyait par vous même 🙏 Elles ont fortement grandi, je suis monter a 1.5L par plante, elle consomme la totalité des nutriments et me le montre très très bien 😍🤗 Merci Kannabia 🙏 encore des variétés merveilleuses 😊 J'espère que dame nature sera me récompense 🌿🍁 Pour plus d'informations par rapport à ces génétique, je vous laisse cliquer ici : https://www.kannabia.com/fr

Coming along nicely. Large number of bud sites, starting to grow but still far from mature. Nice aroma every time I open the tent. Starting to become a bit frosty.

Accidentally "topped" her by hard LST... Way she goes. I top dressed this week with 50/50 Gaia green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4... 😊😊 Things seem to be looking great! Can't wait for flower to come on hard!

Hey Growers Darkness days are upon us. They’re done and ready to sit for a couple days, then I’ll chop them. Things have gone really well and I’m happy with what I see. I’m thinking this will be a huge haul for a 4x4 tent. The buds are beasts with hard nugs and have that Kush fox tail characteristic. The stink is magical and the trichomes are super gritty. The Cali Kush are so fat they’re laying down in the back. I’m very happy with the results. Happy Growing 🌱

3/2 I gave my plant its first feeding. Gave it about half a gallon of water with a PPM of 500. I also thought about topping my plant but am not really sure where. I am not sure what one is the top spot as this is my first time every growing. I also finally received my ACInfinity CLOUDFORGE T3. This has allowed me to get my Humidity levels more under control. I was okay before because of the dome but for the last week or so I have not had a domain and my humidity has not really be regulated. 3/2 A few hours later I said fuck it and just cut the plant where I thought the top was. I cut off a few lower fan leaves. Not sure If its too early to do it or not. 3/3 Finally got my ventilation setup. I am not longer venting into the room my tent is in. I now have the exhaust being vented outside. This has allowed for better temps in tent. I am not longer being baked alive. I have also noticed a lot more stability with my temps/humidity now. Temps are sitting at 78-80ish and my humidity is sitting around 60 percent. 3/5 I started LST as my gardening ties arrived this day as well. 3/6 Today I gave just shy of 1 gallon of RO/DI water with a pinch of Epsom salt. I was waiting off as I forgot to added to my first feed on the the second. After the watering I also saw my rapid rooter exposed as the soil seemed low. I think I didn't fill the pot enough. I also added some extra soil to top up the pot and make sure the rapid rooter was buried. I also collected my run off and checked its PH and PPM. PH was 6.2 and PPM was 863. Plant also seems unhappy this morning.

👽 Frosty’s Auto Freak – Woche 8 Und dann wäre da noch… das Ding. 🤣 Frosty weigert sich weiterhin konsequent, wie eine normale Cannabispflanze auszusehen. Die extrem schmalen, verdrehten und teilweise fast schwarzen Blätter machen sie inzwischen eher zu irgendeinem Gewächs, das man nachts besser nicht füttert. 😂 Aber unter diesem kompletten Freakshow-Wuchs sitzen mittlerweile richtig schöne Blüten. Besonders der Headbud ist deutlich angeschwollen und die Harzproduktion ist einfach brutal. Auf den Nahaufnahmen sieht man, wie dicht Zuckerblätter und Blüten mit Trichomen überzogen sind. Der Name Frosty ist inzwischen wirklich verdient. Viele Pistillen sind bereits orange/braun und eingezogen. Gleichzeitig gibt es noch einzelne hellere Bereiche und die Blüten scheinen weiterhin etwas zuzulegen. Ihre Buds wirken im Vergleich zur Malawi deutlich kompakter und massiver. Das dunkle bis violette Laub zusammen mit den orangefarbenen Pistillen und dieser weißen Trichomschicht sieht inzwischen einfach völlig irre aus. Und das Beste daran: Genau diese Pflanze war von Anfang an unser kleiner Sonderling. Hübsch? Darüber kann man streiten. Normal? Auf gar keinen Fall. Interessant? Absolut. 🤣👽❄️ Und ich glaube, gerade Frosty wird am Ende diejenige sein, bei der wir beim Trocknen und beim ersten Smoke am neugierigsten sind.

Short tent tour. 5 Plants in grow 4 Photoperiod 1 Dark Devil Auto 3 APF (Alaskan Purple Feminised) 2 apfs are clones from topping mother plant Rooted the clones in just plain water in plastic tub. No root power just water and they still rooted. 1 x Bangai Haze Standard 1 x Dark Devil Auto in with the 12/12 photoperiods. 1 x Dark Devil Auto (Harvested) Poor grow from summer in window and small starter pots. Nice Toke though.

Unfortunately, this run with the more advanced Appalachian Kush came to an earlier end than planned. The bud rot continued to spread, so I decided that it was time to harvest her rather than risk losing even more of the plant. It's definitely not the harvest I was hoping for, as I would have liked to give the flowers more time to develop. I actually found this plant quite promising throughout the grow. The overall vigour, the fast development of the flowers and the terpene profile she was starting to develop all made me very curious about her final potential. Unfortunately, we won't get to see that with this plant. As planned, I harvested the flowers together with the sugar leaves and immediately froze the fresh material for processing at a later point. One Appalachian Kush plant is still standing, though, and interestingly, she is showing quite different characteristics and a different flower structure. So even though this particular plant had to be harvested early, the Appalachian Kush story isn't over yet. 👀🌱 Let's see what the remaining plant has in store for us. 🤞🏻💚 **Update** Our next Appalachian Kush had to be harvested as well, as bud rot started spreading. Part of the harvest is now drying in the tent, while the rest went straight into the freezer. ❄️🌿

🖐️👨‍🌾 Bienvenidos amantes de la Marihuana, comienzo una nueva temporada de cultivos, primavera/verano 24, con esta cepa que me va a llevar de viaje por el viejo reino de Siam a la búsqueda de la marihuana que pude fumar allí y antaño, tal vez en este camino cargado de recuerdos, me encuentre con otras flores... con más recuerdos. Después de unas semanas de descanso de la temporada anterior, comienzo este nuevo viaje con ganas y la esperanza de conseguir la mejor cosecha hasta el momento. Preparé concienzudamente el sustrato donde puse las semillas de las 9 cepas que voy a cultivar esta temporada, mi intención era emular la germinación espontanea que se produce en el bosque o campo, pensé en reproducir este escenario, mezclé un sustrato "cocinado" durante meses con nutrientes y minerales, añadí fibra de coco inoculada con Microorganismos de Montaña y mi Bio Coco EM que contiene minerales, hormonas, enzimas, etc. puse la semilla en superficie de ese sustrato y lo tapé con materia orgánica seca proveniente de Mulch rescatado de mi anterior temporada de cultivos, a continuación humedecí todo con agua caliente y miel, lo tapé y lo puse al calor de una manta eléctrica, a los 3 días asomó esta semilla de Thai Fantasy, dos días después otra semilla de Colombia Gold también salía del sustrato, pero 8 días después ninguna de las otras 7 semillas germinó, a la vista de una lupa, todas la semillas estaban podridas y con ácaros similares a los que se ven en el compost, el fracaso ha sido total, la ley de la selva a imperado y solo han sobrevivido las más fuertes, estas dos semillas tendrán las mejores macetas, se las han ganado. Ahora he vuelto a poner las semillas a germinar, pero esta vez sobre servilletas húmedas y calor, y prepararé un sustrato menos caliente para el momento del trasplante... adelante! Espero lo mejor de esta cepa con dominancia sativa, las cepas de Kannabia siempre sorprenden, y mi bodega está a falta de sativas asiáticas, así que a jugar!! ================================ Info de la cepa Thai Fantasy de Kannabia seeds: https://www.kannabia.com/es/semillas-marihuana-feminizadas/thai-fantasy "Nuestros paladares occidentales se abren a nuevas dimensiones cuando nos adentramos en los universos exóticos de Tailandia o Camboya." Kannabia Seeds - Genética: Thai x Black Domina - Sativa 80%, Índica 20% - Tiempo de Floración - 58-65 días - Rendimiento en interior: 500 g/m² - THC: 18,6 % - Sabores: Dulce y terroso ================================

12/1 - GZ 1 has pretty much decimated its fan leaves. This seems to be a bit early in my opinion. The buds are nice but not as full as I'd like. She's still got swelling to do but I can't see her going longer than another 2 weeks. I think I may have went too light on feed around week 3 or 4 because thats when the symptoms started. Either way I'm officially labeling this plant as "stunted by user error" GZ 2 is starting to head down the same path a week or 2 after her sister. Buds are looking small but frosty. It think she may be a little better off in the long run but we'll see. Orange hairs started coming in droves for both around week 4. The buds are picturesque but they still have a lot of fattening to do. Moby Dick's leaves have started to fade noticeably to light green just in the past week. I consider this optimal at day 40. I'm curious what the next few weeks will hold for her because her buds are already looking nice and full. Definitely going to be the last to finish and looking like it's going to be worth every second.

1-11 Day 67 Nothing to report today but pictures. Start flush tomorrow 😁🤘 1-12 Started flush, ppm to around 225. 1-13 Just pics
