Trying to dial their veg in. Nutes may be too old or too high. Changed with 4ml CaMg per gallon of RO water. The rest is MaxiGrow. Ever since adding rockwool to the grow, I have struggled. I don't have the dry back timed right yet. I moved my fan to dry the top of the pot surface instead of in the root zone or at the canopy height. After about 10 days I dumped out the rockwool and have replaced with hydroton. My initial though on using rockwool was to give the roots more space during late life stages. My experience has been with hydroton and I notice that the roots eventually get bound because the hydroton is a durable material and will not crush or compact. Rockwool on the other hand will compress when squeezed so I was hoping that in the late life stages the roots would compress the rockwool and make more room in the pots. The issue was dryback. If I used chunks instead of croutons, this may help but the other reason I used them was because I had them here already. If anyone is trying to slow their dryback down, they should consider adding 10% volume of croutons to hold moisture in the medium a bit longer. Notice anything different? They are starting to adapt to their new media. Hopefully by next week I can get them to perk up. One plant has looked better than the other three. I have no idea what these plants need to “perk up”. Possibly a different grower. If a grape terpine wasn’t in the end results I would have culled these long ago. Hopefully they perk up when we get to flower. 3 look ,,,, meh, the fourth is descent. Trimmed all four back down to 12” tall. Flower next week.

´ Week 21 Finishing August, 23 degrees with some rainy and windy conditions during ten days; after that start a new heat waves (38 degrees tomorrow) with sunny days. The whole summer was like this: no really regular conditions. But it’s a pretty good test for finding a way to grow without any electricity during 6 month: preying to get a good harvest in quantity and quality. One of the lessons When you grow in Europe, west coast around 46°N, near ocean is to have an Indoor shelter to preserve from weather irregularity’s (rubbery and cops). There’s good year giving good fine vintage, bad year and poor harvest. To have a reasonable harvest: shelter is better! Daylight 13h - 7h30/20h30 (-3 minutes) Plant is changing to the final morphology. Flowering since around 3 weeks: we needs almost 7 weeks more before the harvest question. I was doubtful about the flowers size, but I compared to the last year diary and note that the evolution of plants were similar. Middle to end October will be probably the harvesting period: It’s because Indica dominant or low Sativa genetic is a reasonable option when selecting the outdoor strain. Normal flowering development for this pretty big plant (did the topping too late) good, easy resistant and satisfying strain for outdoor .lot of flowering sites, always vigorous without stagnation along the different and successive stages. I will certainly test it later indoor with LST🌱🌞Amesia Seeds 🏆make really serious products. No really smell for now. Some Thrips around (white points on leaves) but not more. 💦 Sprayed Neem Oil, I will restart soon or with soap… Problem of air circulation during heat or humidity episodes = pests The plant is not totally healthy but initiate the flowering stage normally; next day will be interesting and crucial. I suspected some deficiency signs on some leaves; nitrogen or phosphorus… not sure… Whatever I put some palm tree ashes and sprayed the plant with a FishMix solution Feeding the plant with Canna Terra Flores (easy when you’re busy) Watering every 72h 1,2 L- ph <= 6.5 - Rain Water + Cannazym - Calmag + Terra Flores (2mL) + Cannazym x 3 - FishMix + BioHeaven + Humic/Fulvic

Hier versuche ich jetzt wieder öfter bzw. regelmäßige Updates zu geben. Die Pflanze hat den Stofftopf bis unten Durchwurzelt und ist scheinbar bereit für die Blüte. Heute gab es noch eine gute Dosis Pflanzengeflüster und in ca. 7 Tagen stelle ich das Licht auf Blüte um, dann wird's wieder spannend. Zu Beginn wird nochmal gut entlaubt und in BW3/4 nochmal

The lemon pie has sum stuff going on not sure if I under-watered her a little bit I did wait 4 days to water that one but I thought the soil was still good until I picked it up and it was light as a feather so I gave a cup of Ayer maybe a littler more and had I slight VPD problem I think it was 84 with like 50% humidity I added a second fan today it bounced up to 65% at 82 degrees! Please help am I over thinking or is this something bigger

Gracias al equipo de Sweet Seeds, Marshydro, XpertNutrients y Trolmaster sin ellos esto no sería posible. 💐🍁 Sweet Mandarine Zkittlez F1 FV : Genética feminizada y fotodependiente de floración ultrarrápida. Primera generación filial (F1) resultante del cruce entre un clon élite de Zkittlez (muy potente y resinoso, con un marcado aroma tipo Sour Diesel cítrico, entre naranja y mandarina) y nuestra Sweet Mimosa XL Auto (SWS94) que también tiene tonos aromáticos cítricos entre naranja y mandarina. El resultado del cruce es una vigorosa variedad híbrida fotodependiente muy resinosa, potente y aromática. El aroma de esta variedad es delicioso, con tonos Sour Diesel muy especiados, tonos de naranja y mango, fondo amaderado y lejanas pinceladas frescas como de pino o hierba recién cortada. Algunos individuos pueden mostrar flores y hojas con tonos púrpuras y rojizos al final de la floración. El efecto es enérgico, alegre y estimulante de la concentración y la creatividad. 💡TS-3000 + TS-1000: se usaran dos de las lámparas de la serie TS de Marshydro, para cubrir todas las necesidades de las plantas durante el ciclo de cultivo, uso las dos lámparas en floracion para llegar a toda la carpa de 1.50 x 1.50 x 1.80. https://marshydro.eu/products/mars-hydro-ts-3000-led-grow-light/ 🏠 : Marshydro 1.50 x 1.50 x 1.80, carpa 100% estanca con ventanas laterales para llegar a todos los lugares durante el grow https://marshydro.eu/products/diy-150x150x200cm-grow-tent-kit 🌬️💨 Marshydro 6inch + filtro carbon para evitar olores indeseables. https://marshydro.eu/products/ifresh-smart-6inch-filter-kits/ 💻 Trolmaster Tent-X TCS-1 como controlador de luz, optimiza tu cultivo con la última tecnología del mercado, desde donde puedes controlar todos los parametros. https://www.trolmaster.com/Products/Details/TCS-1 📆 Semana 2: Fantástica semana, estan creciendo de una forma espectacular gracias a la ayuda de @marshydro, @xpertnutrients y @trolmaster.

Beginning of week... The purple is beginning to bleed onto the leaves!!! Finally! I have a purple phenotype!! I am definately calling this "Week 1 of flower".. She has stretched noticeably.. Still not very much, but it is noticeable! By the end of this week it should be very obvious! I love these ladies! This is why I've stayed single since I've started growing more than 2 years ago! Bahahaha! Not even joking.. 100% of my love goes to these lovely ladies!!.. So this morning I flushed with FloraKleen.. The runoff PPM came out exactly as it went in.. Crazy!!! I mixed the nutrients for tomorrow and I went up a tad on ArmorSi (Silica).. CALiMAGic (CalMag).. And the FloraMicro.. Went down on the FloraGro so that I could also add the FloraBloom to the mix since the flower stretch will be happening this week.. I went ahead and also went up a bit on the Floralicious Plus and the FloraNectar FruitNFusion.. Gonna keep the FloraNectar at veg amount till she is actually making some nugs.. Maybe 2nd or 3rd week into flower. That's how I did it with my suitcase grow (*TC*).. Seems like the way things are going at this point.. I may not even be able to add a bloom booster. Still early tho.. Only time will tell! Next day.. Night temps in the tent got down to 57F.. Holy shit it had me nervous lol.. The leaves looked like shit.. But they always look like shit when lights are out.. But she perked up this morning.. Lights only been on for about 30 mins and they are back to NORML <--- lol see what I did there? But yeah.. Hope my clones managed to make it thru too Next morning.. Yeah she's fine.. I just hate how the leaves droop so much after about 16 hours of light.. Almost like that extra 2 hours is alot of them.. I wonder what they would be doing if I was using 20/4 or even 24/0 light cycle.. I was thinking of bumping it up to 20/4 in week 2 or 3 of flower and leaving it there till harvest.. But haven't made the decision yet. Oh yeah.. This week I also bumped up the power to 100%. And if needed, I will lower the light a bit.. I've burned a few plants in the past, so I know to be careful with that. Wish I had a PAR meter.. They say you can use a LUX meter but I see so much conflicting information on doing that.. I believe its multiply the LUX reading by .025 and that should give you the estimated PAR... But idk how much I trust that.. And when UV and IR are involved, it can be higher than what you think.. Some shit.. Blah blah blah.. Lol Almost mid week... I'm starting to think she needs more nutes.. She seems a little yellowish.. Like she could be a bit more green. I've had strains that were like that before.. But this plant is a little confusing, being my first purple pheno.. She has the little streaks of purple on the stems all over the plant.. But being a purple pheno, that could just be genetics.... But the leaves not looking as lively as they were before.. Seems to me that it shows that maybe there isn't enough nitrogen since she has transitioned into flower.. But there are also yellow tips on all the newer growth.. Doesn't really look too bad tho.. Not like nutrient burn.. But it could be. I know sone deficiencies show yellow tips also.. Ugh. The buds still seem to be forming nicely tho.. Thats what counts.. And damn the purple is bleeding onto ALOT of the newer leaves! Its so fucking pretty! The new growth seems a bit under developed to me tho.. And almost like its wilted.. Not too bad but it is a bit noticeable.. I really hope I dont screw this up lol. Well since I did go up on the nutes a bit this week.. I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and see what happens this week I suppose. Hopefully this clears up after going up on the nutes a bit. I really dont wanna screw this up. Later that day (Almost mid week) So i flushed the medium with FloraKleen the other day.. The runoff came out at 3XX PPM.. Yesterday I fed with nutrients.. Going in was 7XX PPM but the runoff came out at 3XX PPM once again.. I figured ok, the nutrients are still just higher in the medium I guess and I should see it in the runoff this morning as I flush (since I feed, flush, feed, flush, etc.).. But today going in it was 230 PPM but the runoff came out at 420 PPM.. So I think the FloraKleen was still doing what it does.. And maybe thats why the plant isnt as good as she should be. So tomorrow morning I will be feeding at 740 PPM and hopefully the runoff will be where it needs to be.. FloraKleen is great.. But I'm only gonna use it for harvesting.. Cuz this is ridiculousness! Works like magic tho lol.. So there's that.. Will be updating tomorrow with pics! Mid week.. Fucking FloraKleen is still working or some shit! Fed this morning.. Going in was 740 PPM.. Runoff is still showing 420 PPM.. I even made a 4th liter of nutrient mix and going in, it was 850 PPM but runoff is still coming out at 420 PPM.. Son of a bitch. I can see she is starving right now too.. This is one of the worst times to starve these girls.. Not the worst, but one of the worst, in my experience.. What a finicky bitch she is!.. Other than the runoff sucking balls.. And the slight discoloration of the leaves.. She is happy tho.. She should pull thru just fine.. Just gotta get this damn FloraKleen out of there! I'm just gonna feed everyday (instead of feed, flush, feed, flush) till I see the PPM where it needs to be.. But damn FloraKleen works like a mf'r.. Just not the best idea to use while the girl still needs nutrients.. Will be updating as I go.. Hopefully this is fixed soon. Almost end of week.. Idk wtf.. I havent even watered using just plain water yet.. The entire week.. Just been feeding once daily and still the runoff is coming out at 400 - 500 PPM.. But she seems to have gotten a little better. No yellowing. Stretching has begun this week for sure, too.. I wish I could get each top even with the others.. But they arent too far off from eachother. The main top is gonna be a beast of a cola when shes done! The branches on the main top are bunched together so its gonna be massive. The buds are forming nicely too.. Purple is showing more and more each day. Such a gorgeous plant! I cant wait to see what she looks like when its time to harvest! Besides this runoff issue.. She is doing great! There are a couple leaves with spotting.. Looks like calcium deficiency.. But I'm assuming thats because of the runoff issue.. But hasnt spread at all.. And its really not bad looking.. Just a couple spots here and there.. Just thought I'd mention them. But she is very happy and healthy!.. Updating with pics tomorrow! End of week.. Trichomes are beginning to form.. And holy shit.. When you rub them and smell.. Hooooly flipping shirt.. It legit smells like lemonade.. Not just lemons.. Or citrusy.. But like straight up lemonade.. Wow.. Fucking incredible!.. She has definately stretched as I stated would be obvious this week.. She has done some amazing things this week.. The flowers are gettin big fast! Stacking nicely.. She should be quite the yielder! On to the next!!!...

day 73 I was not ready for all this! 🤣🤣 they literally exploded, even though the buds of El Patron are much thinner than the purple queen I have in my tent, I had to tie them up so that the weight of the flowers didn't break the branches. I have to say that 6 photoperiods are too many for my 1m x 1m x 2m tent. in addition to this I have noticed that they are very hungry. like me and give me some advice. thanks for stopping by, have a nice day and happy cultivation 💚🌳💚🌳

Everything went well More pics of her coming along with weight. I decided that since seeds are popping out, found a couple seeds on the floor, and no need to wait for the fade she served her purpose well. And she brings forth the next Generation ! Red Sky Cake !

Oh cindy.... be mine ! They're all doing great , pushing out these typical sativa plant leafs, thin, long, real nice. this plant is squat but it got flipped a few days ago so lets see how it does with the stretch. Smell is getting serious by now, i dont know how that's going to work when i'm in the full flower probably i'll need a third extractor and a third carbon filter... the noise on these fans is insane though at 150W each it's not easy to stay in the room with the buzzing sound .... Did some training on these, two defoliations that "s a total of three so far. Funniest thing happened : i mixed my specialised micro (cal mag + "rare micro" like boron, mobi, etc) which is green powder with the Biotabs Orgatrex which is brown liquid and my feed ended up blue lol i still watered with it, so pray for my plants lol Veg is finally over ! Now it gets interesting ! 🚀

A few had issues with the 24 hrs light sa few plants were getting yellow tips resembling light burn. So I added a teaspoon of Epsom salt and coffee grounds. Looks like the plants have bounced back. That’s a sigh of relief!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! This alien gorilla is blowing me away maan, shit she stinks soo freaking strong, very spicy aroma very piney too, and woody, she's not sweet at all, at least this pheno but the strong spicy piney woody smell is just lovely, you fall in love instantly, the colas look like rockets 🚀🚀 very hard, dense and sticky as hell. I'm so in love with this genetic by the family of original sensible seeds man, what a crazy surprise, I need this girls in my garden every year. She's been 100% organic grown with FLO Living soil and guanokalong organic dry amendments. Hope I can make a big big xxl bush with this strain next season man💎🤤🦍👽🤞 peace everybody!

Mad stretch this week! A little bit of nute burn where I overfed but other than that, things are looking good. Once the stretch has slowed down I will do some heavy defoliation to get things under control a tad but at the moment I'm just letting them do their thing. Peace! QB
