J’ai investi dans un système d’arrosage automatique Blumat avec 8 detecteurs Tropf. Fini l’arrosage, petite défoliation et c’est roue libre complète pendant un mois ! :) I invested in a Blumat watering system with 8 Tropf sensor. No more watering for me, one more defoliation and we’re set to go for the next month !

The flowers have started to swell and increase in size nicely. She's not stretching much, so I guess, these 18cm will be it. She's getting a really shimmery purple colour. I tried capturing it in a video. I removed some of the older leaves to optimize for light and optimized fertilizer for bud size (Hi PLAGRON Alga Bloom!). Give us all your CBD goodness, purple lady!

Day 50 - is a jungle in here a. she is enormous, and still growing, branches are too long becoming too close to lighting... adjusting the lights to only 67% (201w) intensity to control the growth b. changed the DWC out to a fresh pool, raised the Cal mag to 1.5ml/L, 1000ppm she loves it Day 51 a. she is loving the higher PPM solution! b. the buds are expanding, and are very sticky c. the resin is now growing with new growth Day 52 a. gave her a 5L Cal-Mag only boost with stream water, ppms 850 and dropping b. this plant is so hungry Day 53 - monster plant a. she is growing still, so much veg! b. the buds are bigger and bigger everyday c. video upload Day 54 a. expanding everywhere still b. the smell is very nice!! c. she is still drinking 5-6 litres a day d. still using 201watts lighting, intensity only 67%. e. topped off with a fresh 5L spring water, PH 6.0 with PH down. f. ppms at 650 after the fresh water, will go back upward with next feed. g. major defoliation, 50+ fan leafs from the bottom of the plant and around the canopy. The stems are very solid, thanks Armor Si in veg. opens up many new sites for 201 watts of light. Day 55 a. growing well b. her buds are expanding every second Day 56 a. the flowers are smelling go good b. growing very well, keeping ppms under 1000 here

Week 6 At the beginning of the week I simply finger pressed the new node growth to begin separation and branch direction. 3 days after the last topping, I set up the tomato rings and attempted to tie down train the branches. In retrospect I should have given another day of growth before trying to tie to the new nodes. One plant made the LST training without issues(green tomato ring), however I snapped 2 center colas on the second plant(orange tomato ring). From experience I know that these will not produce tall colas since it happened so late in Veg, so I decided to completely remove them and will monitor for any new growth on those nodes to remove it. So now Im growing an 8set Mainline And a 6/4 set Manifold: Mainline : is a planned topping and defoliation of every cola that makes all topped splits have roughly the same distance to the roots for water ways by removing all other growth along at the same point on any cola. Ideally this helps generate mostly equal buds along the whole cola after each topped split and then the whole plant without having to use scrog nets and just local support ties instead. In a Mainline you remove any other growth that would otherwise need those water ways to grow as well, so Manifold: is the same thing as Mainline but in Manifold you leave a few branches to grow from a lower start point on any cola and then remove everything else. Ideally this gives mostly the same benefit as Mainline but if planned correctly allows you to be finished topping in just 2 separate topping days rather than 3 separate topping days. (I am using it here to correct this late veg mistake in my breaks) The tie downs are positioning 6 of the colas to grow out flat until it can reach the outer bend of the tomato rings where I will allow them to stretch straight up in bloom. 2 cof the colas will have the lowest node of braches growing up in the middle for a total of 4 branches. However in the 8 cola plant I am also training 6 to the outer ring and 2 colas to grow up in the center of the ring. Feed this week was again an auto pot reservoir feed at 400ppm total before add-ins. I used 360ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and 40ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe above). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) to all feeds and ph balance this week was for 6.3. Next week will consist of more LST training with a simple move of the wires as needed. Feed will increase in total ppm and bloom mix and I plan to reduce ph to the 5.8 range slowly, so about 6.1 this week and 5.9 next before flip on week 9.

Borked the time tracking on the previous diary weeks, both are still going strong. Grapefruit is developing a lot of new internode fan leaves, but she's too late into bloom now to defoliate etc. and don't want to stress the GG XL either. Latest GG XL photos are in Week 5. Microgreens are also coming up fast. 17/07: Forgot to take Day 42 photos for both girls, my apologies as my wrists have been giving me hell but will get some more up soon. I've been keeping with the same watering schedule, some bud sites are being shaded by fan leaves so I'm trying to VERY carefully bend them down to prop up the little bud sites better. I've rubbed my fingers on some of the fan leaves to get rid of whatever weird white dust is ending up on my leaves, probably just debris from the air and the fan might need a cleaning soon but holy shit my fingers smell strong like Pomegranate and fruits. It's getting quite addictive to smell the bud sites and rub that resin of her fan leaves, I wish I could describe it better but damn it smells good. If the resin is any indication of the final smoke I know that the Grapefruit is gonna be dank. Can't wait till drying + harvest time :)) 18/07: Plucked off some lower burnt leaves that were really old, snipped off two more big fan leaves shading new bud sites and removed the stumps from old leaves rather making those closely cut down stubs instead so no bug invaders can get a free home. :P Humidity has been ridiculously high today >~65% and dropping now in the evening after the rain has stopped to <~60%, I added some Sodium Bicarbonate in plastic jars around the tent to help pull out water from the air. (18/07: Seems to be helping, I'm seeing about a ~2-5% drop overnight and this morning, usually the humidity in the morning before+after rain is ~60-65%) 20/07: The paper ref regarding RH and Bicarb. of Soda: W.-Y. Kuu et al. / International Journal of Pharmaceutics 166 (1998) 167–175 / PII: S0378-5173(98)00049-0 - I don't know how or why but keeping temps at ~21-23C drops the RH down to a stable mid-low 50's range. Thank fuck now I don't have to drop tonnes of money on a huge dehumidifier... Occam's razor baby :) 21/07: Had to move the light, fan, carbon filter and literally everything. Some minor shit for the cover broke on top of the CaCl -RH% and the bicarb got knocked over. Wiped, sprayed down and cleaned out the fan filter as well. What a fucking start to the day... 31/07: GG XL is in Week 7 now, so getting well into flower, growing at an exponential rate and starting to give off a very subtle smell, Grapefruit smells quite noticeable now too. 03/08: GG XL ending week 7, getting massive. ~77-78CM now. Had to defoliate the Grapefruit since leaf miners were still assaulting her, hopefully this helps get more light and airflow into the bud sites, been having humidity issues but can't do much.

Looks oke, what do u guys think?

Slt, déjà la fin de la semaine 5. Les plantes ont très bien récupérées de leur topping et de leur défoliation. Les plantes semblent être en bonne santé. Je viens juste de refaire une défoliation et du LST, pour avoir la structure voulu et donner toute l’énergie de la plante pour les tiges principales, en espérant que cela soit profitable aux plantes. J’espère ne pas m’être trompé.🙏 En photos et vidéos je montre avant et après la défoliation et le LST, et le fonctionnement du sytème d’irrigation. A la semaine prochaine... Happy grow😎 Ps: le rendu des couleurs sur les vidéos et photos peu être bizarre à cause de la LED.

Vamos familia que ya actualizamos la cosecha de estas Frosted Guava de Zamnesia. Vaya flores que se han marcado repletas de tricomas, parecen escarcha y las flores se marcan aromas muy tropicales, la verdad que únicos. Es una variedad bastante fácil de cultivar pero al tener un periodo de floración algo más largo, hay que estar pendiente de alimentarlas bien, gracias Agrobeta en mi sala es posible. Temperaturas máximas en 24 y mínimas en 20 y una humedad estable en torno al 36%. Las mantuve 10 semanas pero facilmente si se quedan 11 tampoco estaría mal, yo las vi bien maduras y ya tenía tricomas ambar así que les di matarile. Os comento que tengo un descuento y para que compréis en la web de Zamnesia de un 20%, el código es ZAMMIGD2023 The discount 20% and the code is ZAMMIGD2023 https://www.zamnesia.com/ Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Espero que disfruteis este diario, buenos humos 💨💨💨

12/10 - Moved 6 clones from a 2x2 into the 3x3 - Swapping lights from 150W MarsHydro to Sunraise QB3000 300W lights - Running humidifier during lights on - had some yellowing on the leaves but have since been corrected.

Week 2 done. She is the only one that hasn't fell over. Her stem looks the thickest of all her tentmates. She also grew the most in height this week.

A Note From BAM: "This week, the plants grew. The controller failed. And I learned that sometimes the best tool in the tent is a grower who refuses to quit." --- The Good: The Plants The plants are now entering the final stretch of veg, and they’re doing exactly what they’re supposed to do. The FIM sites have turned into 4–6 main tops per plant. The canopy is widening every day, and the roots are filling the buckets. · Plant 1 (Leader): PPM 628, pH 6.0, width ~50 cm. · Plant 2 (Comeback): PPM 603, pH 6.19, width ~40 cm. Plant 2 is catching up fast. The top feeder ring is now on full-time, and the difference in growth is shrinking. Both plants are drinking 3–5 cm per day. The roots? Thick, white, and moving fast. I pulled them out for a video—they’re about 45 cm long. The song "It's All About the Money" played in the background, but anyone who watched knows: it's all about the roots. --- The Bad: The AC Infinity Controller 69 Pro If you're thinking about buying this controller: don't. Not for DWC. Not for a tent where airflow is critical. This week, the controller developed new failure modes: · It ignores manual mode. You set it to Level 4. It drops to 0. · It ignores its own minimum speed setting. You set the minimum speed to 3. It sends an OFF command anyway. · It jumps to MAX speed (Level 8) without warning, drying out the tent in minutes. · It gets stuck in "Advance Automation" mode with no way to exit, rendering all controls disabled. This is not user error. This is a defective piece of hardware. I have an open warranty ticket with AC Infinity. They have not responded with a lot of communication. I am now running the fan at a fixed manual speed on a separate control setup, because the controller cannot be trusted with my plants' safety. --- Week 3 Summary Table Metric Start of Week End of Week PPM (Plant 1 / 2) 503 / 571 628 / 603 pH (Plant 1 / 2) 5.88 / 5.83 6.0 / 6.19 Canopy width ~45 cm ~50 cm (Plant 1) Water consumption 2–3 cm/day 3–5 cm/day Controller status Glitchy Failing Fan reliability Unstable Running on manual override --- What's Next (Week 4) · Final week of veg. Push PPM to 600–650. Keep LST going. · Flip to flower is approximately 7–10 days away. · Controller replacement is pending. Using manual fan speed until a reliable unit arrives. --- Closing Thought for Week 3 "The plants forgave the controller's glitches. The roots kept growing. The canopy kept spreading. And I learned that the best automation tool in the tent is not a chip — it's a grower who pays attention." — Master Verdant --- From BAM: "AC Infinity, if you're reading this: your controller is broken. Fix it or replace it. I'm not waiting forever."

Ph 6.5

The second week everything is going alright

11 June - week later from last update. Girls doing great. Noticed ants nest rite under couple of girls soil and small amounts aphids(black). Foliar Spray them mix of neem oil, baking soda and dish soap. Ordered some ant bait station for kill them. Feed girls with seed sprouts tea, alga grow, sea weed and home made cal-mag.

Here we go 😊 Planning & germination 👍 The strain is Chunky Cookies x Blackberry Gelato by Amsterdam Genetics. I´m really looking forward to this run, the SpectrumX from Medicgrow with build in PPFD, 4 spectrums V1, F1, VS, FS and 880 Watt is definitely serious business 👊 Trying out a new soil in this grow. The plant mulch is an exclusive mixture of harped mulch, nutrient-rich natural fertiliser, hill sand and long-term matured compost. The mixture provides a porous and airy structure, which ensures that both water and nutrients are easily accessible to the plant's roots. Stay tuned and Keep it green 😎
