Really love a set of scales to keep track of weight too. pH and EC are both critical for thriving plant health, but temperature also plays a pivotal role in achieving optimal growth. It also happens to be the fundamental parameter that's most commonly overlooked. When you think about temperature in the context of a growing environment, you could be referring to the temperature of the air around the plants or you could also be referring to the temperature of nutrient solution or irrigation water, which will affect the root zone temperature. While air temperature is important, for the purposes of this piece, I'll be focusing on root zone temperature and its effect on nutrient uptake and overall plant health. That's because a plant's root system is the location of two essential chemical processes: water and nutrient absorption. In each of these processes, having the correct root zone temperature is paramount for these to occur efficiently. In a nutshell, root zone temperature will affect the rate at which your plants are able to absorb nutrients. If you let your root zone temperature remain unmonitored and uncontrolled, this could lead to disastrous effects on your overall crop yield. Nutrient absorption is largely driven by chemical processes, which take place in your plants' roots; the efficacy of these processes is determined by the temperatures to which those roots are exposed. Once your root zone temperature moves out of its optimal range, the plant will not be able to deliver optimal levels of nutrients and water. Ideally, you should aim to have your nutrient solution or irrigation water temperature at around 18 – 22 °C (65 - 72 °F) to ensure optimal nutrient and water uptake. In addition to having an effect on nutrient absorption, your root zone temperature also affects oxygen availability and solubility. If your water is too warm, you could risk starving your roots of oxygen as warm water cannot hold as much dissolved oxygen as colder water. On the other hand, if your water is too cold, this could shock your plant roots, decrease plant metabolic rates, and stunt plant growth.

11/24/18 Week 5 of flower. I think im falling in love with these ladies the buds look so promising. I know the next is going to be exciting as they really start to pack on some weight. The smell is still not 2 noticable though. I thought it would be stronger at the point. Anyway im happy with everything so far. Smooth ⛵ 11/29/18 Almost end of week 5 not much happening buds just putting on weight. They will get 1 more week of feedings (week 6) and then flush untill harvest.

Number 7 is smelling great and has 1 more week of flush left before it is harvested. Starting to show signs on leaves as plant is using stored energy. Thanks again fast buds. Thank you grow diaries community for the likes,follows, and subscriptions on my YouTube. 🌱🤜🤛

Day #08 - The seedlings are going pretty well into week #02. This week FloraMicro will be added from General Hydroponics, I've started using this since my last growth. I use the hard water version and I really like it. My plants seem to do definitely better with this nutrient added, so I decided to always use this nutrient together with my other nutrients. I also decided to try the FloraGrow and FloraBloom nutrients from GHE, as I've seen very good results with the nutrient line of GHE. At the end I will also use their Ripen, which gives the plants growth boost in their buds at the end of the blooming phase. Day #09 - I decided to give the ladies a little more water, so I raised the water amount to 0.25 liters per day. Further on, everything is going very well! Day #11 - The little ladies are going ver, very well if you ask me... Growing like a charm, at the end of the week I must be able to top them without any problem. Day #14 - I wanted to top the girls, but I decided no to do that, as not all the plants have reached the right height. So topping is postponed until tomorrow.

Day 61 - April 11, 2021 Today was full of headaches lol. Checked the PH of the reservoir this evening and it had dropped to 4.6. Algae exploded in the past day. Removed reservoir and pumps and cleaned thoroughly. Thankfully just prepped a new batch of nutrient solution. Humidifier hasn't had to run all week. Will be switching to dehumidifier soon.

It's randomly reset 2x over the last couple days. At first thought it was a fluke and maybe bump the reset button somehow. Seems unlikely, it randomly resets clock to 12am and erases the programmed times. Think I'm going to give a smart plug a shot instead (at least I can see notifications if scheduler fails) So far seeing pistols on all ladies. No nannards so far. Will be working on canopy this weeking and will take close look at each.

Waiting for Anden dehu to arrive. Also replaced the Titan Apollo 9 controller for water pumps as it keeps randomly resetting and has proved unreliable. Testing a smart plug and will create some conditions with IFTTT to send notifications to ensure pumps don't miss schedules, shut off correctly, etc. Plants are doing well. Pistols are popping out faster and faster. Planning to do some canopy management this weekend and will be inspecting to make sure there aren't any pollen sacs forming.

Die Pflanzen haben sich in den letzten Tagen weiter prächtig entwickelt. • Wuchs: Die Blätter sind deutlich größer geworden, das Blätterdach ist jetzt fast vollständig geschlossen. Besonders die mittleren Triebe haben kräftig aufgeholt. • Farbe: Gleichmäßiges, sattes Grün – ein Zeichen für stabile Nährstoffaufnahme und ausgeglichene EC-/pH-Werte. • Form: Die Struktur bleibt kompakt, mit gleichmäßigem Stretch in Richtung Licht. Die Pflanze reagiert gut auf Training und Lichtintensität. • Gesundheitszustand: Keine Anzeichen von Mangel oder Stress – vitaler, gesunder Gesamteindruck.

Just water again this week to help with the flush along with some light defoliation. The majority of the trichomes look mostly cloudy now and I’ve started to see a very small amount of them turn amber so all going well I will be turning the lights off for 48 hours some stage early next week. The buds have developed really well from the bottom up over the last couple of weeks and are stacking up nicely. The smell has also seriously increased this week. 😳

06/12/23 - Day 0 Here we go again!! After a successful run of 3 strains, I've decided to pop a 3 pack of MilkyWay F1 from RQS. 3 seeds are in a wet paper towel, inside a plastic sandwich bag, into a dark warm cupboard. Im hoping they all germinate!! LET'S GROW!!! 08/12/23 - Day 2 from seed All 3 seeds have cracked and tap roots have come out, so i've put them in the peat pots. I mixed coco coir and perlite at 70/30. I've also decided to add a teaspoon of DYNOMYCO’s Mycorrhizae in each little pot too. 10/12/23 - Day 4 2 out of 3 have sprouted, the 3rd isn't too far behind. 11/12/23 3 out of 3 are out and thriving!! we're well within schedule and we're off to a very good start!! 12/12/23 - Day 6 I've decided to move all 3 into their final pots today! I'm using Plagron AllMix in 12L pots with a nice big drip dish. Into the tent they go!!!

Plants are now what appears in Week 4 of flower, even though the natural light cycle is still above 14 hours per day. It’s likely that the streak of cloudy mornings over the past couple of weeks has contributed to the transition by simulating shorter effective light periods.. that in addition to going from indoor to outdoor Nutrient Activity: • Started the week with a cap mag-only feeding to address ongoing signs of magnesium deficiency. • Later in the week, applied a strict Epsom salt feeding at 1 tsp per gallon, one dose per plant. I also moved my watering schedule from late in the evenings too early morning and midday to address a potential cold shock. Observations: • Minor yellowing remains present, particularly in the older leaves. Still leaning toward a magnesium deficiency as the primary cause. • Toward the end of the week, tip burn began to appear, likely due to nutrient buildup from trying to aggressively correct the deficiency. It’s a delicate line right now between resolving deficiencies and avoiding overfeeding. ⸻ Next Steps / Adjustments: • Reduce feedings to no more than twice per week going forward to minimize the risk of nutrient burn. • Monitor new growth and bud development closely for any signs of stress or improvement. • If tip burn continues or worsens, consider a mild flush to rebalance the root zone. If the yellowing stabilizes and tip burn is contained, I’ll resume light feeding adjustments in the following week.

Der Elephant ist ziemlich klein geblieben, aber mit seinem riesen Rüssel beeindruckt er mich doch ziemlich. Etwas wird er noch stehen bleiben, aber auch nicht mehr sehr lange vermute ich. Der Duft ist sehr angenehm. Der Elephant ist bereits jetzt in der zehnten Woche sehr harzig und klebrig, was sich vermutlich bis Woche 12 noch einmal intensivieren wird. Bin zufrieden und freue mich auf das Ergebnis.

She's an octopus full of very stinky sweet nuggets man!. I'm in love with this black cherry punch #1 she's in a 30l pot and her performance has been amazing. Very happy with this lady. The aroma of the flowers is suuper sweet very like cherry and like strawberries. Such a pleasure to grow this Cherry pie 🥧🍒 cross 🔝💎👨‍🌾 PD: I had to tie some of the colas cause they were just Fallin cause of the weight of the nugs. A set of 2 branches broke because of the weight of the nuggets so I chopped it down the 2 colas and put them in the drying room.
