D8. We're at the start of the second week, and there isn't much to report. The girls are slowly getting taller and wider. The leaves of both plants show interveinal chlorosis, and the first one also has a tiny bit of a burn and twisted leaves. I suspect that is due to the girls growing right into the topdressing, and I'm hoping that it will correct itself as the girls get bigger with more substantial root systems. I prepared some foliar spray with fulvic acid and horticultural soap as a wetting agent for my other tent, so I also gave these girls a very light foliar spray. I might as well when I have extra :) ------------------------------ D9. The chlorosis is decreasing, but we have squatters in the tent! I've started germinating this year's chilis: Fidalgo Roxa, Jalapeño Early, Serrano, and Mushroom Yellow. I'll keep them in the tent as long as possible since it saves me some electricity. ------------------------------ D11. The second girl had a later and slower start, so she is lagging. Let's see if she catches up eventually. Soil is slowly losing moisture but still far from needing a watering. DLI set to 16. ------------------------------ D14. The end of the second week. By now, there's a clear size difference between the two girls, with the first being significantly larger. On the other hand, she also has twisted leaves, which the second girl doesn't have. One leaf is even a bit burnt. I tested the soil today, and it clocked in at a neutral pH of 7, so I doubt it is a pH issue. Instead, I suspect it is due to the topsoil being too "hot" with the top dressing I put on before the grow. In hindsight, it might have been better to wait with the top dressing until the plants had established themselves. Oh, well. We grow and learn. I still haven't given the girls any more water, so the fungus gnats get to enjoy life a while longer. Although, they haven't really become much of an issue. Still, the buggers have gotta go, and I'll water in SF nematodes to deal with them in a few days. I raised DLI to 20 yesterday. ------------------------------

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos y también a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾👍 Este es un relato semanal de técnicas, experiencias de cultivo y Bio preparados orgánicos caseros, los cuales llevo experimentando dos años en cultivos de marihuana interior. Esta semana voy a escribir sobre: CARBÓN VEGETAL ACTIVADO CON MICROORGANISMOS DE MONTAÑA. esta es una práctica avanzada pues al menos se necesita tener el inóculo sólido de Microorganismos de Montaña (MMS), aunque al final intentaré dar otras opciones para aquellos que no tengan MMS. Puedes consultar en la semana 3 la manera de hacer Microorganismos de Montaña Sólidos (MMS): https://growdiaries.com/diaries/134104-grow-journal-by-defharo/week/725879 El carbón vegetal es un excelente componente para toda clase se mezclas de sustrato, tiene varias propiedades muy interesantes, ayuda a la estructuración del suelo y la creación de humus, es un regulador térmico en lugares fríos, favorece la expansión de las raíces y su estructura de microporos promueve la retención de humedad y nutrientes, se dice que en 1cm cúbico de carbón puede contener de 8 a 30 millones de Microorganismos. Y es precisamente la propiedad de retención de humedad y nutrientes, de la que se aprovecha esta práctica. El carbón vegetal llamado "activado" que se usa en filtros de agua o aire, tiene mala fama entre los aficionados a las peceras, porque se dice que roba nutrientes, principalmente Nitrógeno, esto tiene una explicación y no es un problema para cultivo en macetas, el carbón seco tiende a absorber humedad y los nutrientes que se encuentra en el sustrato o en los riegos, porque es muy poroso, y de repente, tiene que saturar todos sus microporos, pero esto apenas va a tener incidencia en un cultivo. En mi caso lo que hago es mezclar el carbón con los Microorganismos Sólidos y después lo humedezco con agua y melaza para activar la Microbiología del inóculo, dándole la energía necesaria, de esta manera tengo un carbón inoculado con Microorganismos de Montaña, y una vez en el sustrato, con humedad, estos MM, se propagarán. En este caso el carbón, de momento, no captura nutrientes porque está saturado, pero después de unos riegos, será la casa perfecta donde los Microorganismos y los nutrientes convivirán ofreciendo una fuente extra de nutrientes, para que las raíces se alimenten en periodos de escasez de alimento o humedad. Supongo que quien tenga inóculos bacterianos comerciales, podría usar esta práctica para multiplicarlos. INGREDIENTES BÁSICOS: Agua pura: 500ml Carbón vegetal, para usarlo en macetas conviene que los trozos de carbón no sean grandes. 750 gramos. Melaza: 75g Microorganismos de Montaña Sólidos (MMS): 225g PROCEDIMIENTO: Se mezcla el carbón y los Microorganismos sólidos. Se disuelve la melaza en el agua. Se humedece el carbón lentamente, mezclándolo bien, porque el carbón vegetal puede almacenar mucha humedad y necesita tiempo para saturarse. Se guarda a oscuras durante un mes en un recipiente cerrado. Hasta aquí la fórmula básica, yo hago algunos añadidos, como se puede ver en las fotos. Añado 260g de Leonardita, que es un carbón vegetal con millones de años y en el proceso de convertirse en mineral, aunque todavía no lo es, es además, la mayor fuente de ácidos húmicos y comparte las propiedades del carbón. Añado Microorganismos de Montaña Activados (MMA) de forma líquida para aumentar la inoculación de microbiología, también un lacto fermento de frutas que aporta muchas vitaminas, nutrientes y enzimas... en la última foto se ve el recipiente después de un mes. Siguiendo el principio de saturación previa de los poros del carbón, para mezclas de sustratos, y sin tener acceso a microbiología, se podría, por ejemplo, saturar el carbón con alguna mezcla nitrogenada para el comienzo del cultivo, después el carbón seguirá cumpliendo sus funciones de estructuración de suelos, creación de humus y para retener humedad y nutrientes. Hasta la próxima... SALUDOS A TODOS LOS CULTIVADORES... 🖐️👨‍🌾

# Blueberry Muffin by Zamnesia | Pheno A 🍇🌱 ## Vegetative Week 1 | Settling Into Her New Home Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to the journey of Blueberry Muffin Pheno A. Last week we followed this seed from germination into its first days above the soil. This week marks the beginning of true vegetative growth and the first important step toward establishing a healthy root system and a strong foundation for everything that follows. As mentioned in the germination report, all plants in this project are being grown under a 12/12 light cycle from seed. It is a method that differs from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my cultivation style over time. Because of that, we approach the early stages slightly differently than many traditional vegetative grows. --- ## Moving Into The Final Home One of the first major steps this week was transplanting the seedlings into their final containers. Normally many growers choose to gradually increase pot size through several transplant stages. In this project we decided to move directly into the final homes from the beginning. The reasoning is simple. When growing under 12/12 from seed, every day matters. We want the roots to establish themselves as quickly as possible without interruptions, restrictions, or unnecessary transplant stress later in the cycle. The goal is to allow the plant to focus on building roots immediately and continuously from the very beginning. --- ## Lightmix & Early Root Development The final containers were filled with Plagron Lightmix. Lightmix provides a gentle environment for young plants while still offering enough nutrition to support early development without overwhelming delicate root systems. At this stage we are not trying to force growth. We are trying to build foundations. Strong roots today become strong plants tomorrow. --- ## Water First, Food Later The first irrigation after transplant consisted only of plain water. This is something I personally prefer during the earliest stages. Young seedlings still carry nutritional reserves from the seed itself and are growing within a lightly fertilized substrate. There is usually no need to rush nutrients immediately. Instead, the focus remains on root establishment. Several days later, once the plants had settled into their new environment, a very gentle feeding program was introduced using: 🌱 Plagron Terra Grow 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym 🌱 Plagron Sugar Royal 🌱 Plagron Power Roots The dosage remains intentionally light. At this stage less is often more. The objective is not maximum growth. The objective is steady, healthy growth. --- ## Introducing PPFD & DLI This week also marks the point where we begin paying attention to light intensity. The seedlings are already receiving approximately 350 PPFD. At first glance this may sound relatively high for young plants, but context matters. Because these plants are growing under 12 hours of light rather than the more common 18 or even 24-hour schedules, Daily Light Integral (DLI) becomes extremely important. A plant receiving 350 PPFD for 12 hours accumulates significantly less total daily light than a plant receiving the same PPFD for 18 hours. For that reason we begin acclimating them to stronger light levels earlier than many growers might expect. The goal is adaptation rather than shock. We want the plants to become comfortable with higher light intensity from the beginning while still remaining within a safe range. --- ## Environment Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week. 🌡️ Day temperature: approximately 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: approximately 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: approximately 55% 🌱 Root zone temperature: approximately 21°C 💧 Solution temperature: approximately 21°C Stable environmental conditions allow seedlings to focus their energy on growth rather than constantly adapting to changing conditions. Consistency remains one of the most powerful cultivation tools available. --- ## Early Observations Even this early, Pheno A is already beginning to show a little personality. Nothing dramatic. Nothing concerning. Just subtle differences in growth structure and leaf development compared to her sister. These small variations are exactly why each phenotype is now being documented separately. At this stage it is far too early to draw conclusions, but it is always exciting to watch the first hints of individuality emerge. Nature rarely creates two identical plants. And that is part of the beauty. --- ## Looking Ahead The roots are establishing. The first true vegetative growth is underway. Nutrition has been introduced. The environment is stable. And now the real journey begins. Next week should bring faster growth, larger leaves, stronger root development, and perhaps even more clues about the personality of this Blueberry Muffin phenotype. For now, patience remains the plan. One week at a time. One observation at a time. One lesson at a time. --- ## Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Blueberry Muffin genetics. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition and substrate used throughout this run. And thank you to Future of Grow, and everyone following along on this journey. As always, thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy watching these plants grow as much as I enjoy documenting them. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚

Sie Blüten werden dunkler, nicht mehr lange bis zur Ernte. Die Seneszens hat begonnen, die Pflanze remobilisiert jetzt ihre letzten Nährstoffe aus den Blättern, deshalb werden diese von Tag zu Tag etwas gelber. Der Drain ist wieder in einem guten Bereich und die Pflanze hat inzwischen das schlimmste überstanden. Die Nährstoffe werden in den nächsten Wochen stückchenweise reduziert und in ein paar Tagen werde ich den ersten Trichom Check machen. Bis dahin darf die Dame noch glücklich weiter wachsen! :)

Lady is now my tallest and growing strong. She is a heavy drinker now requiring about ~ .3 every 6-8 hours. Heavy P & K early in flower led to slight tip burn. Have been straight watering for the last week and she has bounced back beautifully. I topped her around week 3 she has now outpaced my untopped plant in the tent and has similar strong inter-node spacing. She's slightly dusty(trichomes) early!!!!!!!

Week 7 Progress & First Bloom Feed! (May 9th - May 18th) Welcome back, dudes! Things are progressing well in the grow tent. These pictures cover the period from May 9th to May 18th, showing steady growth and the start of flowering for some. I've made a key change to the feeding regimen: I've added GHF Bio Bloom to both the White Widow and the Banana Blazes, at a rate of 3 grams per liter of soil. This is to support their transition into the flowering stage and help them develop those sweet buds. Here’s the breakdown of how things are looking: White Widow XXL Auto (Barney's Farm): The White Widow continues to thrive. Her LST has really opened up the canopy, and you can see plenty of new bud sites developing. She's stretching nicely as she enters her flowering phase. Auto Banana Blaze (Dutch Passion) - First One: The first Banana Blaze is also showing good progress and is responding well to the added Bio Bloom. The earlier yellowish spots haven't worsened, and overall she's putting on solid growth. The Younger Ones (Second Auto Banana Blaze & Auto Kong 4): These two are steadily growing and stacking up their nodes. They're still a bit behind the older plants, but healthy and establishing well. Overall, the tent is bustling with activity, and it's exciting to see the first signs of proper bud formation. The new Bio Bloom addition should give them all the fuel they need for the upcoming flowering stretch. Stay tuned for more updates as these ladies continue to fill out and frost up!

This garbage plant that was supposed to be an autoflower but was a photoperiod turned hermaphrodite on me. Not a few pollen sacks but tons everywhere. I noticed some pollen on some of the closer plants leaves so I hope it didn't fuck em up. I'm hoping that they are so early in flower that it won't pollinate em FOR EVERYTHING MARS HYDRO VISIT: www.mars-hydro.com www.marshydroled.ca PROMO CODE: rocknroll VISIT THE ALIEXPRESS STORE: @marshydro_aliexpress Instagram: @marshydropenny https://youtube.com/channel/UChU5ZWwNi-DvnO3oWVU3ceA (NEW) STRIVE NUTRIENTS 💪

Chance of a Lifetime Greenhouse Seeds Wonder Pie Week five 5th June 2020 Welcome back to my Wonder pie Diary for the Greenhouse Seeds Win a trip to amsterdam Contest. It's been a busy week for the three plants. I waited until aprox mid week (Tuesday 2nd June) to begin some LST And each plant proved to be tricky in one way or another. Plant 1 has very flexible branches that I needed to use tent pegs on to hold down each branch I wanted to train. Plant 2 is very bushy and has quite a few side branches happening so I managed to tie down atleast 6 with some soft wire and left the others to grow a bit longer before I try more LST. Plant 3 was the trickiest because the branches are very stiff and not very willing to bend . I found this out by accidently snapping a branch off. I managed to tie a few down but have the two main branches still growing vertically for the time being. (Wed 3rd June ) Not touching them today and will water tomorrow (Thurs 4th June) Watered each plant with 2 Litres of Water (Friday 5th June) Today I am very happy with the way they responded to the LST all three plants have really bounced back well and look super happy. I have been playing around with a homemade CO2 producer which is very easy to make with household items. Basically I re-used a 1.5l empty water bottle as the container. Then I simply punched a small hole in the lid for the CO2 gas to escape. I then added aprox 7-10 teaspoons of Sugar & half filled it with nice warm water (not too hot) and let the sugar dissolve. Then I added 3 teaspoons of Bakers Yeast and gently shook it all up before placing the lid with the hole in it back on the bottle and placing it inside the Grow tent. The principle of this is that the yeast and sugar react with each other to start "Fermenting" which causes the release of gasses which are made up of CO2. Now whether or not this does anything to make the plants grow any faster is conjecture on my part but I have noticed that the plants look very healthy and growth has been more this week than previous weeks so who knows????? It's worth a try if you have the time and inclination to try it. Well that brings me to the end of this weeks Wonder Pie update. Thankyou very much for taking the time to Read it, I truly do appreciate the kind words and likes etc and I shall be back next week with another. 👍

So this week she has started to really put on some chub. She's frosty like a frosty flake. I also just love her light green. Super super light green. But strong dark green healthy leaves still no sign of stress (although I can't really know deeper than what I can see- she might be mashing for some KNF shit-which I rate all plants probably are). I wanted to use supplements like OHN ( Oriental Herbal Nutrient), FPJ (Fermented plant Juice) and trying to create more living soil but I was just very busy with work at this point and did not get to making the pro-biotic supplements. Next grow I have already made some ferments and intend on making more to aid nutrition during the next ladies that get laid. But Maria's got about 11-12 Big colas, but looking back I would maybe have continued to try to keep the heads a little further apart so more light could break through to the lower nodes. I also think an investment in a proper HPS bulb-reflector would do wonders, I was using a homemade foil device to reflect light back down to the plants (NOT EFFICIENT, or sexy, but ay.)
