And this is how we successfully open week 9 - After fermenting a dose of PK compost tea at the end of last week, I poured it extensively. As always, he did them very well. They also need significantly more water again. I have now also increased the humidity a bit, because there is currently drier indoor air in the room of the cultivation area. Let's see how long I leave my Sweet Seeds ladies. I'll decide that at short notice. Sour Jealousy will then be able to enjoy all the space to bloom at her disposal. Both Sweet Seeds now only get purified and aerated water and only enriched with enzymes. It is now time to signal to both to use up their reserves. After all, their genetically pre-programmed life cycle is significantly shorter than that of sativa-dominant strains - for example, Sour Jealousy from Fast Buds. She is only now really starting to flower, while the indica dominant strains are moving towards the glorious end. I have also already been able to positively determine how practical and thought through to the end 2 Sanlight panels really make sense. I am not primarily concerned with more power through the lighting, but also and above all, I am concerned with the homogeneous illumination at 11 degrees inclined positioning of the solar panels. And to have the opportunity to meet the different growing conditions individually by adjusting the heights of both panels. Of course, I will be able to strive for much higher performance in the large Homebox Ambient with CO 2 and both lamps, but area coverage is the be-all and end-all for me. Lamps currently operate at 60% each. That's definitely enough. Because 2 x EVO 4 - 80 means to me: Precision in the form of light - a tool that you learn to use. Everything before didn't convince and satisfy me nearly as impressively as Sanlight. Also the advantage of being able to operate your lighting system from the outside, via Bluetooth, yes that is really very important, practical and innovative. It makes things so much easier... Sweet Seeds - brand new: „Jealousy Z XL“ I can’t wait to give it a try next run… Super noble presentation, in my opinion. There are many reasons for an emotional attachment to a product. But one stands out in particular: the desire to design, personalize, individualize something or - in other words - the desire to own something unique and feel special as a result. Scientists have found that our buying behavior is shaped by emotions. A person does not buy a product, but an emotional feeling. Many thanks to Sweet Seeds! 🙏 I also feel the feeling that Dark Devil gives me - as a noble high. I associate the turn with a noble, very effective and multifaceted indica dominant weed from Sweet Seeds. Creative work only works in the 1st part of the turn - haha, because then the coma phase begins with subsequent binge eating! But even during sports I was in the vaporizer with Dark Devil and it supported me mightily during training. Maybe it depends on the activity at the time of consumption, haha I find it very fruity in taste and smell. Very sweet terpene spectrum. And not very top-heavy. A wonderful body high. Worries and fears - as if blown away… Some here on growdiaries describe meticulously exactly how they give what, when and how much of it to the plant, etc. I prefer to keep a diary for my passion in a different way. With passion and feeling. I feel my plants. And talk to them. They also listen to chilled music. The Kobe beef in Japan is even massaged to classical music. ;-)) I think such information is only useful for a run to those who do it exactly the same way, under the same conditions with almost the same phenotype. That is almost impossible. And not necessary either. I have to learn to read plants. Their signs are pointing. Become sensitive to it. If I know why and how something happens, then I also know how to keep something like this alive. And what it takes. And why. So let's see what we have to do today. In any case, Lady Jealousy is being driven to the hairdresser today. Yes, we're doing beauty and wellness spa today, haha. She's so busy with branching, I'll give her a helping hand. She has developed incredibly. And has an unusually long breath. Comparative: She looks like a farm animal to me. In other words, what it was bred for. Very strong and healthy adult. Then bloom efficiently and productively. And that's the fascinating thing for me. The breeder creates all parameters here to perfection. Even though I don't particularly like the marketing of Fast Buds anymore, I have to admit without envy: "I've never experienced that before." The phenotypes are absolute warriors, from another planet. Marketing is debatable. No problem. But I can only marvel at these plants and their quality. Unfortunately, too much turnover often spoils the core vision of a successful company. …PK is on the way! Addendum about the one, Lady Dark Devil 😈, which had to be harvested too early: And yet: Dark Devil gives me a deep inner satisfaction in my existence. Nothing upsets me. Nothing can disturb me, because I am one, with myself and my environment. I can only feel gratitude for that. It gives me this broad, generous sense of inner peace. For me, inner peace means balance, equanimity, even-mindedness, harmony, and stability. And that's exactly what a noble special effect means to me. When a weed variety can develop medicinal qualities. When THC simply has a more complex effect on my organism, than just the usual power high. And if, a plant that hasn't even had the opportunity to reach its full potential, can do that, it has passed all the requirements of a cannabis variation, with flying colors. And on top of that, she seems incredibly graceful and elegantly feminine to me. It's just something very special: She's a Sweet Seed! Oh I see, I'm writing a real diary here... 😜 But I love that. I love grow diaries. Look at the brave girl. She forgives me for topping, training, defoliating and in the end: that I have to kill her. But I know then for sure, that she knows, that I really loved her. And the fascinating homogeneity. Totally instructive. It behaves like a photoperiod phenotype, unbelievable but true! on 14.09.2024 I moved her to the grow room with the others. So it's almost 9 weeks. I'm curious to see if she holds out. But I think so. It seems incredibly energetic and relatively relaxed to me. I'm mentally very busy with her right now. Every morning I comb through her leaf picture. Make impressions of the smallest changes. I currently have Pk boosters or tea with her every third day, alternating. And in between only purified water with enzymes. Dark Devil and Big Devil I let slowly starve and then die of thirst. They consumed the last booster 4 days ago. She (Sour Jealousy) currently swallows 2.5 liters per day. That's really a lot. And in the morning she wants to have something again. I think the lamps tickle out their full potential. I meticulously defoliated her and now she stands happily and despite all the exertions, like a star in the sky. My star. 🌟 Sour Jealousy is really crazy, I can say that. And the coolest highlight will be: Lady Jealousy will soon be able to enjoy the whole place in the sun for the "grande finale". The smell of the two Sweet Seeds totally upsets me! I would like to bite into it. Its killing me softly. Very few leaves have a few dark small spots or dots at the tips of the leaves. (Sour Jealousy) Many thanks to BerrySweetHighhat. I think the same. Will probably be calcium. She gets this from the Bio PK Booster. I keep calm and don’t panic, it’s organic. ;-)) Sour Jealousy: Today I cleaned out small shoots again & defoliated them from below up. I think there were still too many young little shoots. Now everything should be distributed quite well. We'll see. Tomorrow I will probably harvest both Sweet Seeds. Hello everybody! Today it's Dark and Big Devil's attack. It's about time. Lady Jealousy will be allowed to use the full 0.64 sqm of cultivation area for herself from today. Take care & bee 🐝 positive 🐝… to bee continued.

Havent thought that i would share it later iafter 10 years.

GORILLA PUNCH -420 FAST BUDS week 7 Such a nice smelling strain, been easy to grow without any issues so far, responds well to lollypopping technique.. Will use 420 fast buds for sure again. DRSHOTZUK

Beginning of the second week of flowering. One has not yet shown its sex, it appears to be indica, but it is full of pre-flowers. The largest is 47 cm, the smallest around 30. 09/10 - Now it's 58 cm, this sativa doesn't stop growing. The indica has not shown sex yet despite having pre-flowers everywhere. It doesn't seem stuck to me, as it continues branching, but the height hasn't changed almost anything. 10/10 She reached 65 cm. The others are 50 cm. The last plant that was missing to show the sex, came very late, it had all branched before showing the sex, unlike the others, and unfortunately it was a male, already dead. She just looked indica, but was a long sativa male. Of the 5, 3 females (2 in organic soil, 1 being fertilized and the other in inert soil) 2 males dead 11/10 - It is 72 cm. It is colossal, I had to tie it up at the top, as I didn't have enough space to lift the bulb and it was starting to burn some of the tips of the leaves. It's better to have mild, temporary stress than heat and burning stress, which is worse in the long term. The others grow well, gaining weight, without problems with height.

Day 30 toady, i switched to 12/12 3 days ago e the babies are already stretching hard and some are showing preflowers i'm pretty happy i'm watering with no nutrients as i'm using Canna Pro Plus soil and it should have enough nutrients for the first 3/4 weeks of flower. I cleaned the bottom of the plants from lowers branches and leaves and i will continua till day 14 of flower and i fixed it with a bamboo stick i got gifted from @AlpineGoat i will fix the other branches in the next weeks i'm pretty stocked with this grow this genetics are really solid growing strong and fast! Good job @Exotic_Seed!!🙌👍

The little plant is growing without much addition.... I germinated a Gorilla Glue 4 seed in a glass of water at 21 degrees celcius for 24 hours then put it in a pot. It will keep its cousin company. If all goes well I intend at the end of the Gorilla Glue Auto harvest to change the light schedule to 12h 12h so that Gorilla Glue 4 will be in bloom. Will I have problems with the light?! We will see!

The smell on this lady is absolutely insane. The only way I can describe it is a dank smelling cherry. Trimmed 2 ozs after drying got done and had the whole house smelling. Very impressed with the nose tone and taste of the Cherry Cola and its not even cured yet. Growing this plant has turned me on to the cherry terps and will continue to look for them.

Day 26 of veg went to pheonix for a couple days and i forgot to set my timer, so my lights where off for 4 days 🤦‍♂️ got a little streching going on and yellowing, im confident its because the light was off

Easy strain to grow. Good yields, easy to trim

Day 22 of Flower! Did as much lollipopping as I can in a Days work.. will continue through the next 2 days to touch and clean up the bottom of the canopy. After that..no touching the plants..will let them slide through flowering with just feeds.

Another week of blooming for the HighCloudz and the buds are growing well. The top leafs are not looking too good because of the excess nitrogen, but the new leafs are healthy again. I'm glad it didn't slow down the flowering and I'm extra careful from now on to not overfeed her. The smell on this plant is amazing! It's sour/lemon and very spicy, almost like fresh ground pepper. I never grown a plant with this terpene profile before and I'm already looking forward to the smoke report :) The smaller plants have the same aroma, with a hint of candy. Not much more to say for now, my plan is to give her the peace and quiet to grow some beautiful flowers ☘️✌️ Stay tuned for more updates and pics later this week!

First week of veg, after two weeks of seedling growth. Light schedule: 24 hrs Nutrients: Nitrogen (bokashi), small quantities of potassium and phosphorus in marine algae. First transplant into: 2 lt and 1.5 lt pots

🌱 Wieder mal einen schönen Sonntag & zweiten Advent für die, die es betrifft 😊 🌿 Wochenupdate Die Woche war wieder bisschen was los… leider =D Ich versuche wieder alles so transparent wie möglich zu machen 😊 Zu Beginn habe ich meine Lösung wie gewohnt manuell mit hochwertigen Apera-Messinstrumenten kontrolliert angemischt und behandelt. Das lief auch immer perfekt, bis es leicht überhand genommen hat 😅 Ich habe locker 7-mal am Tag gemessen und dementsprechend anschließend gereinigt… Nach ein wenig Überlegen habe ich mich dann schließlich doch für einen Bluelab Guardian entschieden. Anfangs wollte ich nicht so viel in reinen Komfort investieren, aber mir persönlich wurde es einfach zu viel, weil ich zu oft wissen möchte, was los ist =D Letzte Woche hatte ich ja bereits erwähnt, dass ich den Stretch-Peak anhand der EC- und pH-Kurven bestimmen konnte. Das lief schon alles über den Bluelab. Da ich wirklich gerne datenbasierte Entscheidungen treffe, habe ich ab diesem Moment weiter fleißig runtertrainiert und die Werte beobachtet um den richtigen Zeitpunkt zum sortieren zu erwischen . Der Trend war dann aber erst mal, dass sie einfach wie verrückt weiterziehen 😄 Am 4. Tag bei diesem Messverhalten wäre es fast passiert… Der Uptake hat über eine Dunkelphase so dermaßen zugenommen, dass ich es mir nicht mehr erklären konnte (Peak-Messung × 2,5). Fakt war aber: Das Reservoir war von den Werten her wirklich in einen kritischen Bereich gerutscht und ich wollte das ändern. Warum das so war, dachte ich mir: kann ich auch später klären… schließlich haben die Ladys Hunger =D Also habe ich wie immer 30 L Top-Up berechnet, gemischt und auf etwa 4,30 mS/cm eingestellt, damit ich die niedrigen RESS-Werte wieder nach oben bekomme. Zum Glück habe ich auch meine Momente, man mag’s nicht glauben 😄 Ich habe random beim Abpumpen mal den Drain gemessen, weil es mir keine Ruhe gelassen hat – und siehe da: 1,9 mS/cm. Die Sonde hatte sich über die Wochen ordentlich in einen Wurzelballen geschoben und dadurch zwar konstante Werte geliefert, aber eben in einer Wurzel-Biozone und nicht im freien Draftwasser. Das klingt erst mal nicht dramatisch , aber wenn mir das nicht aufgefallen wäre, hätten die Damen rund 24 h in einem hochtoxischen Bereich gestanden… Das wären sicher ein Ordentlicher stepback gewesen... Und natürlich passiert das Ganze in einer Phase, in der ich ihnen so wenig Stress wie möglich machen möchte 😄 Ich habe jetzt aus grobem Filterschwamm kleine „Hüllen“ gebaut, die aktuell ihren Dienst tun und die Wurzeln fernhalten. Drain-Messen ist ab jetzt auf jeden Fall SOP 😄 Da der Guardian erst während des Runs eingezogen ist, konnte ich ihn leider nicht ordentlich verbauen.. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus & Training Zur Sicherheit gehe ich wieder Back to Basics und trainiere so lange weiter, bis der Rebound-Stretch sichtbar nachlässt 😊 Das sollte jetzt die Tage geschehen. Den nächsten Run gestalte ich hier definitiv anders 😄 Ich brauch doch meine Werte fürs Timing… Anschließend nur noch die Meshes bestücken, langsam am Klima schrauben – und wachsen lassen 😊 ⚙️ System Bis auf die Panne mit der Sonde läuft das System nach wie vor perfekt. Am Vorgehen mit berechneten, gezielten Lösungen hat sich nichts geändert 😊 800 PPFD 1,0 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt 💚 Special Mention Da geht auf jeden Fall was 😄 Ich glaube, an dem Punkt kann man echt davon sprechen, dass sie durch ist. Sie ist nicht ganz so gut entwickelt wie ihre Schwestern – aber trotzdem eine sehr vitale Pflanze, die sich echt zurückgekämpft hat 😄💚 Danke fürs Lesen und eine schöne Woche euch 😊!

So I've chosen my final 6! 4 are 7 days old and the other 2 are 6 days old! A little slower in growth for some but I put that down to me having them in coco to start and I'm inexperienced with coco and as soon as I switched them to soil they perked right up so I'll stick to what I know and use soil starter plugs or soil or even root cubes have done me justice in the past, I run my diffuser twice a day to maintain my 60-70% avg RH I started at 25% power on the light at 10" and slowly increasing the power to 50% at 10" above canopy! As I'm using co2 im able to put the light closer and raise the temps! I was using a heat matt but honest opinion I think they're a Hazzard in some way and not necessarily necessary! Just my opinion as I came across problems with the substrate being too dry sometimes! But I will keep them in these pots for about another 3-5 days and then transfer them into a bigger but not final pot for an avg of 2-3 weeks! Can't wait to be at the end of may! Want my babies to be all grown up now lol but thanks for stopping by and wish me luck on my journey 😊

Half doses of Indo Nutrients, Full doses of Sticky Bandit. Last top feed of Goguano SuperBloom 2-9-5. Expecting another 2-3 weeks before flushing.

It was harvested slowly. First up bud and 3-4 days later down bud harvested. Very nice harvested
