Overall, this is 9th week of flower for the entire F'22 grow season. With French Macaron beginning week 7 flower and Afgooey #1 and #2 in mid-week 5 of flower. The Afgooey #3 is just starting to form tiny budlets after an extensive defoliation as she's squatty with lots of foliage. Updates & Observations - a lot of maintenance this week from continual ph'ing and flushing as Afgooey #2 has joined the French Macaron with low ph runoff readings. Given I'm growing in a living soil mix with periodic top dressings and teas every 7-10 days, I'm stumped. So, no more feedings for the French Macaron until harvest. Decided that next watering I will flush both girls with fresh rain water captured/stored which I have stored outside in 30 gallon barrels. Rain water tested at 7.2 ph, which to me is good enough for the flushing. It's raining for 3-4 days next week, so this will exhaust existing supply and replace with fresh rain water. Perfect timing. Will update next week.

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

I started germination of 1 Strawberry lemonade bean on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plug was just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made hole. Than I sowed my bean into the hole. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the hole in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plug into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see a sprout. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plug planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get this lady situated into her home. Cant wait! Some background information on my experience with Strawberry lemonade. Ive only grown this variety out once. In a 1 gallon SOG grow where she faired ok. I could tell she really wanted to explode and branch out. But a restricted root mass just would not allow for it. She had some of the sweetest tasting flowers that came with a strong potent kick. Really looking forward to giving her a larger container and see what she can do when shes let loose.

I fed the Serious Kush with 10 ml of Bio PK for the first time this week. The Mango Lassi is definitely catching up and is a really fast grower. I defoliated the plants on day 21 of flower.

Overall Status: The Bruce Banner (Dark Horse Genetics) is progressing beautifully. We are currently at the beginning of flower week 5. The canopy is dense and even, thanks to the LST and netting. The trichome production is ramping up significantly, and the plants are showing great vitality. Feeding & Watering: I am currently running a heavy feeding schedule to support the "bulking" phase. The front plant is much thirstier than the back two, which is likely due to its high metabolic rate and airflow position. • Latest Feed (per Liter): 2ml Hesi Bloom, 1.1ml Hesi PK 13/14, 0.8ml CalMag, and 4ml Alfa Boost. • Observation: The plants are responding well to the PK boost with no signs of nutrient burn so far.

Los geht es mit dem Testgrow der Medic Grow Mini-Sun 2 mit 500W! Auf 100x100cm, in einem gedämmten Growroom, baue ich 2x Sensi Skunk an und versuche den Raum mit diversen Techniken so weit es geht auszufüllen. In dieser Woche habe ich aber erst mal das selbst gebaute DWC System einsatzfertig gemacht und den Sämling eingesetzt. Das DWC System besteht aus einem 30L Eimer, einer Aquaforte Luftpumpe mit 30L Luft pro Minute und 2x Aquaforte Ausströmer mit 20cm Durchmesser. Zum Ende der Vegi Woche 1 hat sich schon so einiges getan, aber schaut euch die Bilder an!

Hey guys whats up? We move her to a bigger pot to make sure she expand her roots and grow bigger We add water every 24hrs to keep her humid but not too much just enough Also we have been adding veggie nutes until today... We switch to bloom nutes and now we are around 1500ppm. Added like 300/400ml plus 50ml of plain water.... And thats about it.... Let's see how she grows I am sad my kitty escaped from home We have been waiting for her to come back This is the third night without her We did everything we could to find her This really sucks but the only thing we get to say is that we never saw her dead Which give us hope.... We really hope she does come back This is the first time she does something like that we dont even know if she ever will But people said to wait for at least 1week to a month the la test.... I just hope she does! Anyways.... Reason im mentioning my girl Is because her name was bunny And the day she escaped She ate Part of my strawberry cheesecake (of one of those fan leaves) And I will keep that one til end Because yeah she will always remind me... Oh well... Lord im just.... Waiting for this strawberry cheesecake so I can chill and keep hoping she comes back >.<

Start of week 7. Week 6 went well, however she still required and extra 2 liters of food on day 6 of week 6. This girl is insanely sticky, she's getting super dense and frosty, with a sweet earthy smell.

This is the final week of this girl. She has done well, the colas are big and juicy. Nothing much to say, I'll harvest her this friday. I'll update with my impressions.
