Hey yall! Another week down. A lot has happened. To start, we up-potted from the red solos into my living soil blend that I have been working on for almost a year. It's so full on living creatures and beneficials. I used to have fungus gnats a lot when working with living soil, it's almost impossible to avoid. .. Then enters beneficials; we have black soldier Flys, persimillis predatory mites, definitely earth worms, most likely a mix of night crawlers. No more fungus gnats, I highly recommend using beneficial nematodes, cucumeris and persimillis predatory mites are excellent (swirski predatory mites are expensive). Just look at the Soil Food Web and identify what pest you have, then purchase their predators from a trusted insectary. Anyways I added another 200watt LED and spread out the plants in a 2' X 4' tent. It's extremely dry in my location and having the heat on makes the air even drier. So getting my VPD stable has been an immense challenge. Right now Also we need to be able to add VPD or at least GD needs a built in calculator to help folks with VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficite. As of right now I am sitting at 0.85 VPD, so pretty good for today. I have 4 humidifiers and have had to hang moistened towels on the doors of the room I am growing in. It literally has been a huge challenge to keep the humidity high enough for my VPD to be in range for the young plants I have now. Good thing is my current humidity without running any humidifiers is perfect for the flowering stage, so I can't wait to move this along. As for topping and training; like I said I really want to move these ladies into flowering sooner than later. I have several reasons to do limited training so I can limit my veg time, also getting this crop done as fast as possible is best for my set up. Until I can get a larger house 🏠 😩 because we got a baby on the way 👶 so need to make space. I have made compost tea twice this past week, wetting the soil and also spraying the leaves. My sprayer broke so I ended up pouring the tea on the plants gently, I got worm castings on the leaves lol. Gently rubbing that off once they dried. Also I applied the tea at night. My tea recipe: Reverse Osmosis water, 2 to 4 gallons I bubble that with added minerals for a day Add 2-3 cups of Activated worm castings (To activate the castings I added about 3 gallons of high quality castings with what I consider to be nutrient amendments, SO I add = kelp meal, neem cake, organic coconut flour, organic corn meal, organic wheat flour, and organic cold milled flax seeds and let that sit for a week then add about 2 to 3 cups of that mix to the tea) I also add biology from about a cup of 2 different soil mixes I have around my compost bin, just trying to get a more diverse biology by adding those two different soil sources. And mind you the grow beds I took the soil from has been organic for many years and has a large amount of beneficials and tons of excellent biology. Other than that I bubble that for 12 to 24 hours, with as much air as I can get. I use air stones but you really need to clean them off once you are done brewing. I also have an Air Lift with a large air pump that really works great, K.I.S. Organics sells one that works great or you can build one easily with with PVC pipe and a few adapters from any Home Depot or Lowes. Also I do add DynoMyco to my roots when up-potting. They are an amazing brand that has backed up research, I think they have more propagules per gram of two strains they identified to work great with cannabis. Now having said that, each individual phenotype out of each individual and specific strain/cultivar is going to have different bacteria/fungal strains that it prefers and by growing the same strain, hopefully the same exact cut, and grow 3 to 4 cycles before you truly have the mycelium networks built and fully functional. What I am saying is stop throwing out "used" soil and go over 7 gallons, bigger the better for biodiversity. Stop buying "new" soil, amend your previous beds and pots. You will see a huge difference. Hopefully I can show you all of this with my Grow. Anyways please feel free to ask away any questions! This grow is about saving money 💰 🤑 and growing the best clean medicine as possible.

Flowering day 19 since the time change to 12/12. Hey all together 😀. This week she has developed beautifully ☺️. I poured it 3 times with 1.2 l this week. Tomorrow I will add the 2 g GHSC Powder Feeding Bio Bloom because the first blossoms are coming :-). I checked all the leaves thoroughly for pests or diseases and everything is fine ☺️. Next week I'll look at your roots as soon as the coconut is completely rooted. As every week, the tent was cleaned and the entire technology checked. The humidifier was also refilled every day 👍. In the next few days I will remove the bottom shoots so that the energy doesn't end up being wasted in the small popcorn buds. I wish you a lot of fun with the update. Stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🍀 You can buy this Strain at : https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/feminisierte-hanfsamen/220-pineapple-kush.html Type: Pineapple Kush ☝️🏼 Genetics: Pineapple x O.G.

These Autos have grown like crazy but i've made a rookie mistake!!! I've been using Plant Magic Soil Supreme along with their Old Timers Organic Nutes and the recommened feeding chart. Week 1 i just gave the plants water, on week 2 i gave them 2ml per liter of nutes and as recommended this week i have given them 3ml per liter. The next day after watering with 3ml per liter i noticed slight nute burn marks on the FastBuds BlackBerry so i've flushed the pot with PH nuteral water and it has seemed to stopped the burning. I've dropped the nutes back down to 2ml per liter and they seem much happier! I've been planning on LSTing the plants next week but when i watered the plants today on day 19 i have noticed little pistills as shown in the photos above so i may LST sooner. As ive said this is my first grow so does anyone have any advice when it comes to LSTing my plants? Happy Growing!

12/27 Week 8 ! Such lovely girls, prettiest plants we've grown to date. Pretty happy with the nuets where they are so leaving it at 850ish ppm Was continuing to occasionally throw in some Fish Sh!T but that will stop now,too close so gotta watch those terps. Lights out pics later 12/28 Last two weeks before the flush so began the Soul Peak PK/Finisher at minimum dose with regular feed. Adds almost nothing to ppm. 12/31 Last push , reduced Bloom nuets to 7ml and increased Peak to 13 which is a tad high but ppm remains under 800. Eventually it will be all Peak then flush. 1/2 Flush for Belle begins with Monday's watering at lights on. Last day for Bloom nuets on Belle and then three days of just the finisher. Annie will stay on the 5ml/15ml mix until her hairs curl sufficiently then same protocol.

Initially ran this plant as a way to get dial in my tent and setup while coming to grasp with tent growing in general. Since its an autoflower the growing was easy. However this is a very commercial seed bank and the quality you get is in line with that. Now i'm moving, getting a larger setup, and going to run more genetics. Zamnesia will not be a part of that.

So far it seems to be fine even if the high humidity worries me even if the temperatures are still high then they have stopped growing and will finally focus on the flowers and slowly we recover these small deficiencies

Autopilot again this week! Watering once a day, same nutes. Don't smell anything through the carbon filter but when I open the tent, woooow. Stinks out the house! Growing hydro really helps them get bigger, faster... stack on some buds... more potent smell than last time in the soil. Man, I can't wait to try my 'dro!!! :P 2 weeks left, tops, before harvest. 1.5 weeks left until we hit the point I harvested the moms. Everything I've been reading says to flush for only a couple days before harvest when growing in perlite. Which is nice, because you can't always pinpoint when you're harvest will be ready 2 weeks out!!

This is it. The chop. Cut down the remaining plants this week (3 total). The trichs were around 30-50% amber. It really just depended on the branch I checked. Some nugs were almost 100% caramelized while others were like 20% amber. That was the goal for the remaining plants. This has been a great season. The Season This season went really (s)well. Nothing extraordinary other than I opted to use BT for the first time. I applied b.t. twice after I noticed caterpillars were starting to increase on the daily. They still appeared, but the damage was minimized. The 2 things that I made a mistake on was probably (1)not having the right size container for the first up-pot. I should've just placed the plants in slightly larger containers immediately. (2)Tropic orange didn't like getting moved around the garden when in flowering. I can't make this up. I noticed that I had them in the North side of the garden--i moved them 10 feet south in the first week of flowering and they got a little sad looking. Just weird. The plant that I didn't move did not experience that effect. Now it's documented. 😂 The Grow I grew 5 plants to the end in fabric containers. All seeds were Tropic Orange from Equilibrium Genetics. All seeds germinated. I gave a 6th plant to a buddy who had to harvest early due to rodents starting to eat his flowers. Of the 5: 2 were placed in 30 gallon containers solo, 2 together in a 30 gallon container also LSTd, and 1 plant was grown in a 45 gallon container with pineapple, chilli, and thyme companion plants(this one had purple flowers also--1st time I see that they purp on cold nights). LST I experimented with LST a bit more. I was told by a fellow grower that what I missed was the pinch after the pin. That I should've topped the plants that were pinned down to get the yield up. At first I was like nah, but then it makes sense. Maybe I'll try it next time. I forgot to ask around when I should top also. More to learn about this technique on my end. Watering I finally got my trigger finger under control. No root rot this season. Summer still amazes me in the peak water consumed (about 3x the normal). The summer peak coincides with the flowering and a couple of weeks later the watering decreases to about 1/3 of the water. Amendments I only amended the soil about 5x this season. I think I added kelp meal like 3x and a combo of bud candy and overdrive 2x. The soil I used was also amended initially. Flowers The flowers were great. Gassy to fruity smell. Even got a hint of mango peel and orange peel. The last few plants smelled amazingly pungent. Letting them go longer also increases the potency in the aroma and the resin production. These nugs are more stickier than those from a few weeks ago. I think I got hash fingers from touching the stems and a few leaves too much earlier, this plant is resi-nous for sure. Harvest Plant 1 (short, bushy, purple and orangey leaf tips, sour diesel/Tropicana cookie lookin, had to hold the branches up, grew like 50" in a 30 gallon fabric pot with chilli companion plant)- OCT 7 chop all white trichromes with some amber here and there (~1 lb) Plant 2 (tall, but started the shortest, not bushy at all, very sativa dom hybrid looking, dark green leaves that looked maple leafy when young, very little foliage in general, but nugs were dense, turned purple, smell like a fruit smoothie of sorts, always stayed strong but required some support at the end, 62" in a 45 gallon pot with chilli,thyme, and pineapple companion plants) - Oct 7 chop all white trichromes very little amber (~1 lb)

18/05/2023 Day 36 - Today i finally fed her after 1 week without feeding. Kept almost the same feeding from last week, just removed root juice and alg-a-mic and rised MagNifiCal to 1,5 ml/L Day 37 - Today she stretched nicely and i noticed her first pre flowers so preflowering begins, next fedding i´ll add 1ml/L Alga Bloom and Top-Max and will slowly rise up to 4ml/L Day 39 - Today i fed her again, added 1ml/L Alga Bloom and 1ml/L Top-Max and rised MagNifiCal to 1,8 ml/L. Has been hot and dry these days. (for my zone). Day 40 - She´s growing well. This afternoon i sprayed under her leafs with Alg-a-mic. Soon i´ll defoliate her, so i want to give a good dose of vitamin b so she recovers beautifully. Day 41 - This morning sprayed her again before sunrise. I wont defoliate yet. Pot is already kind of light, so tomorrow is feeding day. Day 42 - Today i defoliated, did some LST and fed her. Added 0,5 ml/L Alga Bloom, making 1,5 ml/L in total. 😃

TRANSITION DAY 1(35 in Veg) The video is crap but from today. i wanted to see if they upload or it using the apps features. I have now flipped them to 12/12 and am now in the transition period . Both of the girls have played ball with their cousins for growth this week. The Cookie does look smaller than the rest of the crop and will have to work to keep up as they go. The Orange sherbet is a star of a girl. she is well over her mutations and is producing so many sites everywhere. Os took her trimmings and bondage in her stride too. She responded with tons of growth and new leaf formations. Her stems are nice and thick and her structure quaded is perfect for weight and flowering. She is a keeper strain i think. lets see what she flowers and smells like but for growth she is amazing. The Cookie is also trying hard but i think she could get left behind in the room when the fighting begins.. As a freebie from Barneys , anything she does is pure bonus so might make Hash from her whole plant. Both kadies did me proud with recovering from their clipping and i know the TSL-2000 had a great impact too.

*****DIVINE SEEDS ***** *****FRACTAL***** SPONSORED GROW Week 4 This week 4/28-5/4 Germination April 6. Week 1 water only Week 2 water only Week 3 added recharge and TPS1 increased ppm to 570. Week 4 continues with recharge and TPS1. I added Fox Cal mag increasing ppm to 685 - 805. 5/1 That was a fun feeding week. I got heavy handed with the TPS1 which put the ppm to 1600= so I had to dilute with more water which changed the ph. So I carefully added the smallest amount oh PHdown..then the PH was 5.08 so then added ph up. Oops too high, let’s try again. Ok finally within range with 6.02. Am I the only one?? Hopefully next week I have better control on the nutes. With my AC controller in charge of the humidifier, I must add 3-4 gallons of water a day. (Getting my lifting exercises in regularly). Girls are fed 2 liters of water every other day. Nutrients: TPS1 7ml per gal Recharge 5 ml/gal Fox Cal-mag 5 ml/gal Took pics /51 and 5/3 which show the vigorous leaf growth after only 2 days following defoliation and training. Divine Seeds recommends keeping its Fractal profile wider and flatter. To achieve this, I am aggressively pinning down each branch coming off the main stalk while defoliating regularly to keep the top open. Today 5/4, she is only 9inches tall but has a beautiful, mounded canopy showing multiple bud sites. With my upcoming vacation, I am going to be hardening off these ladies to relocate to their outside location. Until the plants are big enough to go outside, I will be using my AC Infinity tent and equipment. Once outside, I will be watering with well water and recharge and any additional fertilizers or amendments will be determined at that time. Thank you @DivineSeeds Thanks for the likes and comments, I appreciate all the plant love💚. Have fun & love what you grow 💚 Sending love and light 💫 💫Natrona 💫***FRACTAL*** Rating: Fractal is an especially psychedelic strain that Divine Seeds developed for esoteric and mystical experiences, meditation and creativity. A potent and vivid landrace variety from Southern India was crossed with a sticky leaning Indica (mostly Afghani), then Skunk #1 joined this company. Their progeny underwent multiple selection experiments, until its massive built, resin concentration and hypnotizing powers reached an ultimate level. The result is now known as Fractal – resinous, spicy and productive. Best choice for commercial growing: a compromise between bigger yields and fast ripening! A great source of hashish that has something incense-like to its musky smell. Indoors expect 170 сm height, out of doors plants grow up to 200 сm. Fractal fits for all types of growing environment: grow boxes, hydroponic or aeroponic setups, outdoor plantations, balconies, terraces and green houses. For more weight it is recommended to train Fractal plants to broaden their structure and limit their vertical growth. For that purpose use ScroG or SoG, LST, FIM or topping, supercropping or mainlining – there are no limitations for the strain itself, but certainly low-stress methods are recommended to smaller samples. Fractal has an inherent immunity to molds and insect pests, but since its colas are thick, protect your plants from stale air. Also during rainy weeks your plantation may need to be covered. Ready for outdoor harvesting in October. Big and dense buds the color of olive, hunter green heavily coated with crystals. Whole Fractal buds smell hashy and earthy, while cedar and fruity hints are noticeable on breaking. Measure your portion carefully: the potency is above average! With Fractal you experience an overall stoning that either keeps you put or slows your motion down, also vertigo is possible. However, in moderate dosage the impact is described as a pleasant sensation of well-being and placidity. Perfect for spending a night by a bonfire without talking, therefore is more often enjoyed as a solo smoke. Efficiently relieves muscle spasms and seizures, inflammations, combats insomnia and increases your appetite. Up to 3 hours of altered state of mind can be expected. Best consumed at night time.

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.
