Buenas noches familia, sorpresa, jueves noche por aquí , actualizamos las power plant xL. Es la última semana antes de nuestra cosecha, el tiempo se nos echó encima y las Flores ya están echas, se preparó un lavado de raíces y tijeretazo,para sucesivamente colgarlas.( PRIMERA VEZ que se me echa el tiempo encima con la floración, jurao) Me habría gustado darles algo de estrés hídrico, pero lo veremos con las lemon kush y las northern light xL. -power plant xL es una cepa con predominancia sativa, con una corta floración,es un ejemplar fácil de cultivar, fuerte, y vigoroso. Estos ejemplares se cultivaron en 7L en sustrato light MIX de plagrOn, controlando en todo momento el PH de nuestras plantas, y dándoles de comer una gama advanced nutrients bastante básica. -PROS: facil cultivar, flores llenas de resina , flores compactas, ramas laterales largas. -CONTRAS: hay que tutorar por el peso de la flor, floración demasiado rápida a mi gusto (no te das ni cuenta). *Aquí ya me despido hasta la cosecha familia.

26.1.25: I have had a mistake 😕 i spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh 😣 However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed. All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3. Containing the following nutrients;- ♡ 3ml Seachem Seaweed ♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 3ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag ♡ .25g Ecothrive Biosys. ♡ 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP. Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy. I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying 😑 I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon 🍉 by using too strenuous LST. Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3. We will soon see! 28.1.25: My PH pen has packed up 😣 I've got to wait to get another. It's super annoying 😑 so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it. Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator 😕 things are not going very well this week so far 😅 I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished. 29.1.25: I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent. There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes. I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! 😣 So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling. I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation! My light was much further away than I thought! I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away. After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here. I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary. Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me. It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest 😅 30.1.25: So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise. It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not. I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor. I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused. I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner. I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic 😅 but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! 😣 Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots. Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered. 31.1.25: The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen. Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water. May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys. Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings. Bubble Kush

I semi vengono dall'ennesimo rimborso della RQS (il miglior servizio clienti del mondo) Anche questa volta non sono germogliati tutti ma questo incidente più un'attitudine buddista et invent and simplify mi ha spinto a iniziare nuovamente con il metodo SCROG. C'è da dire una cosa sulla RQS Quando il seme germoglia è la pianta inizia il suo per corso, le genetiche sono top, di prima qualità, le cime in fioritura da servizio fotografico. Mi è stato detto e ho letto in alcuni blog che il kit di germinazione ha dato lo stesso problema ad altri coltivatori. La prossima volta germinero in maniera differente. Come potete vedere nelle foto del diario le piante sono cresciute in maniera meravigliosa, hanno risposto in maniera perfetta a ogni stress o modifica, adattandosi perfettamente a tutti i metodi utilizzati. Hanno riempito la rete dello scrog in maniera uniforme. Resistenti e vive. Nutrite acqua e Bio canna mi hanno dato 18 cimoni principali, che sono stati tagliati e messi a seccare. Lascio le cime più basse ancora qualche giorno, al massimo una settimana per farli ingrassare, per poi tagliarli e mettere tutto a seccare. E iniziare il prossimo coltivo. La seconda parte del raccolto è stata abbondante. Come potete vedere nelle foto Nel primo taglio con le 18 cime centrali che si sono magicamente trasformate in 16 😋 ho ottenuto 223 gr circa. Tra oggi e domani finirò di pulire e pesare, e inizierà in maniera più profonda la fase del assaggio.

Pistils finally starting to really show, expecting her to really fatten up the coming weeks. Having some troubles keeping the humidity low, as I have a super budget little dehumidifier. Getting a bigger one would be about 100€ but I'm not sure if that's worth it, if anyone knows more please lemme know :)

Oggi, lunedì 22/01 ho cambiato una 40 ina di litri di soluzione nuova e fresca...ho notato che verso la fine, l'acqua/soluzione era più "limpida" rispetto alla prima ventina di litri ... credo che la pietra porosa con aggiunta di ossigenatore sia stata utile nel secchio "Sistema" per evitare eventuali depositi sul fondo Il problema maggiore è la temperatura stessa ossigenata... è impossibile tenerla a 19/20° senza l'uso di un raffreddatore(Chiller)...costa un botto! Ora è a 21.3 ma sicuramente salirà....di solito è intorno ai 22° ...La luce led dimmerabile è all'80%... È vero che ci saranno le foglie a fare ombra al vaso....ma non so se al 100% ,che metterò ad inizio fioritura e l'abbassero in altezza a 40 cm dalla cima,cosa accadrà alla temperatura,in generale Per ora andiamo avanti e proviamo a risolvere una cosa la volta 😉 Oggi topping o FiMing, vediamo cosa riesce😂 Crescono ma... credo che abbiano preso il Mosaico del tabacco..una malattia che deforma le foglie,si piegano le punte in su e in giù, alcune foglie appunto presentano una specie di mosaico con macchie giallognolo Sembra bene...oggi 2 febbraio defogliazione e da lunedì si passa alle 12 ore..... credo che farò così...o farò poi fatica a gestire le altezze e l'area...ho notato che le foglie e il tronco sono molto più grossi rispetto la terra con lo stesso periodo di 3 settimane piene...

Blüten werden inzwischen sehr Harzig und der Duft nimmt zu. Dem Giesswasser wird täglich 1:10 Jauche zugegen. Zu dem jedes zweite Gießen Pro Sugar von Grow Pro ein Kohlenhydrat Blütedünger(von der Mary Jane ein Tester). Zu dem gibt es ein bis zweimal in der Woche Seafeed Xtra von envii. Die ersten Blätter haben sich unten entfernt daher gebe ich gerade wieder Stickstoff zu den Pflanzen. Auch wenn es nur noch diese Woche war danach nur noch Blütedünger. Zu dem habe ich Basilikum gepflanzt, Dill, Ringelblume und Koriander gesäat am Anfang der Woche und zum Ende noch Lupine und Rot Klee.

Overall this was a good second grow. The initial defoliation was key in getting the nice density I missed out on last time. These plants went through the bloom cycle using a reservoir (5 gallon bucket) and drip irrigation system exclusively. Once I got the correct timing done for the watering, this setup was really great; I was able to go about 1-2 weeks between water refills, so it was easy leave for a couple of short stints with no negative effects on the plants. The one major thing I'd like to work on for next time is the drying process. I'm not sure if I cut the branches too small, if the room was just too dry, or if I just let them go too long (I had to leave for 9 days, and they were drying the whole time). While the curing has helped them get a little moisture back, the actual drying left the buds pretty crispy.

Sep 20: Tropicana Cookies Fast Flowering is huge and the buds are still getting bigger. Will try to wait another week before I start harvesting the tops. The buds look a bit immature still so will try to wait another week longer. Did a second flush as she needs more time, but I like what the flush last week did to the buds. Sep 25: harvested 310 g wet buds into freezer and 1040 g fresh for ice water hash. Total 1350 g is equivalent to 340 g of dried buds. There is likely almost 1 kg of wet still on the plant so this plant will likely be good for 600 g dried. Probably should have left them for another week but the weather is getting iffy and the timing with the rest of everyday life was good.

Update 29/8/2021 Nothing much going on last couple of day's today the pots ran dry again so i've watered them and gave new nutrients. some leaves still start to turn yellow but i'm just leaving them as they go now. 1 plants is still not really showing any progress in growth.. the 2 others slowly seem to grow. Update 1/9/2021 Hey Folks, again not much action this week. picking some dead leaves left and right. but thats it. Really starting to think that 1 plant is lost. it doesn't show any more growth. we are slowly getting closer to the finish line. and man do i want to finish this.. and start a new cycle with all the knowledge I have now.😎 stay safe🙏

Thanks to Royal Queen Seeds for the gratis. Smoked this in Amsterdam in June and it was the best high I'd had in my life. Hoping RQS genetics are up to scratch - they usually are - and I get a similar effect. Just water week 1

Wow, what a difference a week makes! Amazing growth of new stems and foliage. Continued to do LST. She is responding well to it and increased light power to 100%. Experienced a little light burn the first day, but raised it up to 18" again. She grew a few inches and didn't raise light accordingly. Trying to manifold and spread out, hopefully filling up as much space as possible. Did some light defoliation to open up the light to the lower area.
