Week 5 Veg Report: SCROG Netting, Massive Leafs & Precise Data Mastery! 🌱 Girls Growing Stronger Than Ever! 🌱 This week has been truly epic in the grow room—so much so that it’s time to bring in the SCROG net! With the canopy expanding and the younger ones still working to catch up, the SCROG net will help me achieve that perfect, even canopy. A well-placed SCROG not only ensures better light penetration but also gives the smaller plants a chance to spread out and thrive alongside their bigger sisters. Now, let’s dive deep into the SCROG method. The Screen of Green (SCROG) technique is a grower’s secret weapon for maximizing space, light efficiency, and yields. The concept is simple but powerful—train the plants to grow horizontally along the net, forcing them to expose multiple budding sites instead of just a single cola. This way, the canopy spreads evenly, improving light distribution and air circulation throughout the tent. As the plants grow, I’ll gently weave their branches through the screen, ensuring they fill every square inch of space. The end goal? A sea of buds all basking in equal light! 💪 Huge Leafs Everywhere! 🌿 One thing that’s really catching my eye this week is the size of the leaves—they’re HUGE! Honestly, they’re so big I couldn’t resist a little fun, so I made myself some fashion accessories: leaf earrings and a cap from the Super Sativa Seed Club Green Papaya! 😂 And, of course, I captured the moment. But seriously, large leaves at this stage are a great sign of healthy, robust plants. These “solar panels” are hard at work soaking up all the light, driving photosynthesis, and fueling growth. So, what does it mean when your plants are showing off big, luscious leaves? It’s a clear indication that they’re happy, healthy, and thriving in their environment—big leaves mean lots of energy being produced and stored for future bud growth. Exactly what we want! 💧 Precision Feeding with Aptus Nutrients 💧 This week, I took a deep dive into my Aptus nutrient lineup and shared a video explaining how each product affects the water’s pH and TDS. Using the AMP-3 Precision Meter, I’m getting real-time water readings and keeping everything dialed in perfectly. Let’s break it down: • pH: 5.83 • TDS in solution: 445 ppm • Water temperature: 25.2°C The Aptus products are incredible for balancing nutrients without throwing off the pH or TDS too much. I’m fine-tuning my feedings based on these readings to make sure the girls are getting exactly what they need. The precision I’m able to achieve with the AMP-3 is mind-blowing—I get immediate feedback on pH, temperature, and EC, allowing me to make real-time adjustments and ensure the perfect environment for nutrient uptake. 📊 Environmental Mastery Thanks to TrolMaster 📊 Speaking of control—let’s talk about the TrolMaster system! Between the DSH-2U Humidity Station and all the other sensors, I’ve created the perfect environment for my plants. Here’s where we’re at this week: • Temperature: 26.2°C • RH: 70.6% • CO2 levels: 775 ppm • VPD: 1.0 kPa • PPFD: 423 Thanks to TrolMaster, I can monitor and adjust these metrics in real time, and the best part? I can do it all through the TM+ Pro app, even while I’m lounging in my green papaya leaf hat! 😆 Whether I’m checking the CO2 levels, adjusting the lights, or fine-tuning the humidity, it’s all in my hands with just a tap of my phone. Talk about convenience! 🌱 P.S. – Inline Sensors: Heavy-Duty Precision 🌱 Now, let’s talk about the heavy-duty players in this game—the (PCT-2) Heavy Duty Inline EC/Temp Sensor and the (PPH-2) Heavy Duty Inline pH Sensor. These bad boys are connected directly to the AMP-3 Precision Meter, and they’ve been absolutely crucial in giving me the most accurate readings on my water and nutrient solution. The PCT-2 keeps me informed about the electrical conductivity and temperature of my solution, which is key for monitoring how well my plants are absorbing nutrients. Too high or too low, and we’re asking for trouble, but this sensor ensures I’m always in that perfect range. The PPH-2, on the other hand, is all about maintaining the perfect pH balance. A fluctuating pH can mean nutrient lockout or deficiencies, but thanks to this sensor, I get a constant read on my pH levels, so the plants are always in their sweet spot for optimal nutrient absorption. Together, these inline sensors allow me to run a super-tight ship—every drop of water and nutrient is dialed in to perfection, keeping the plants happy and healthy! Shout Outs! As always, huge thanks to TrolMaster and ThinkGrow LED for the amazing gear, to Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrients and Pro-Mix for the best soil i have used so far.

Week 8 Update: Northern Lights Autoflowers Garden Overview & Environmental Notes: The deck setup is handling late May on the Eastern Plains beautifully. The intense high-altitude sun is perfect for fueling quick development on these autoflowers. The atmospheric action has been classic Colorado—watching some spectacular afternoon storm build-ups, localized rain shafts, and distant lightning patterns out across the plains while the garden stays secure. Plant Metrics & Development (The Transition to Flower): The biggest news for Week 8 is that the Northern Lights sisters are officially shifting gears! We are moving past pure vegetative growth and stepping right into the early transition to flower. Both plants are showing pre-flower development at the nodes and the tops are starting to bunch up as they prepare to stretch. * Charlotte (C Flag): She is clearly displaying early flower development along her main stem and side branches. Her main top is stacking tightly under the sun, holding a stocky, well-spaced structure. * Makayla (M Flag): She is also pushing hard into the transitional phase. Her top growth is distinctively bright green and clustering into early bud sites, showing a healthy vertical profile with a thickening main stem and fan leaves perfectly fanned out to catch the high-altitude rays. Feeding & Maintenance: We are keeping things strictly organic on the deck, running the FOOP nutrient line—including the Veg, Bloom, and Sweetener components—to feed the active microbes and support robust root development. Now that the transition to flower is fully underway, the upcoming feeding schedules will begin leaning into those bloom and sweetener components to support early bud development. The custom halo rings are keeping the root zones perfectly satisfied during this crucial developmental pivot. Looking Ahead: With the sisters officially transitioning, the next couple of weeks should bring some noticeable vertical stretch. They will continue to anchor the deck rotation as we prepare for the late-June relay race strategy to bring the next batch of plants into the mix. Update 5.30.26: Charlotte and Makayla are starting their bloom! First pistils I've seen this year. Always an exciting day.

Still no pictures but plants progressing nicely and is starting to really show different growth patterns

​🌿 Journal de Culture : Mac 1 Autoflower – Semaine 5 ​On continue sur notre lancée. Cette semaine, la Mac 1 a littéralement explosé, montrant que le stretch est maintenant en plein régime. Je la laisse s'exprimer pleinement. ​Un Grand Merci ​Un grand merci à @Mia_BIOTABS et @Mrs_Larimar pour leurs conseils qui portent leurs fruits, ainsi qu'à tous ceux qui suivent cette aventure de près. Votre soutien fait plaisir ! ​Paramètres de Culture & État de la Plante ​Taille : Elle a pris un sacré volume et culmine désormais à 68 cm (+28cm) ​Lumière : la plante prend tellement de vigueur qu'elle se rapproche de la lampe , elle est maintenant à 55 cm de la canopée. ​Climat : Toujours avec 24°C le jour / 21°C la nuit 50% d'humidité. ​Arrosage : Le système Autopot fait tout le travail. La plante reçoit uniquement de l'eau claire avec un pH stable à 6,3. ​Maintenance & Observations ​C'est la semaine du "laisser-faire". Je n'ai touché à rien depuis 7 jours : ​Zéro stress : Pas de défoliation, pas de nouveau palissage. Je la laisse se stabiliser après les manipulations de la semaine dernière. le 12/05 ​Nutrition : Elle vit sur ses réserves et sur ce que les Biotabs libèrent dans le sol. Aucun signe de carence, la couleur est uniforme et éclatante. le 14/05 apport de 50 cl de tea compost preparation tea compost : LE MELANGE : 15 grammes tea compost avec 5 ml d'orgatrex pour 1 litre d'eau ( 4 plantes donc ×2. 50cl par plante ) . mélanger le tous dans un sceaux. LA PREPARATION materiel : 1 sceau 1 pompe à air pour aquarium. ( 15 euro ). je vais utiliser pour 18h00 la pompe de mon aire dôme de l'autopots. j'ai acheté aussi 2 petit diffuseur d'air à 4 euros . ustensil utiles pour aérer le tea compost . mettre les diffuseur dedans allumé la pompe et laisser pendant 18h00. normalement le température idéal pour que les micro-organismes se développent est entre 18 degrés et 22 degrés. pour ma part le mélange était dans ma salle de culture à enciron 24 , 25 degrés. voir video et photos ajouter 18h00 après filtrer le mélange pour éviter touts dépôts susceptible de moisir et ramener des champignons. donner au plante 50 centilitres . Le tea compost se garde mal donné dans l'heure qui suis le stop de l'aération ​Analyse de la structure ​Le stretch est impressionnant. La plante s'est bien élancée tout en gardant une structure robuste. Comme on peut le voir sur les photos, la canopée commence à se couvrir de pistils blancs de plus en plus denses, marquant l'entrée franche en floraison. ​Les branches secondaires que j'avais écartées avec la ficelle ont bien profité de la lumière et rattrapent joliment la tige principale, créant une belle surface d'exposition. On commence à deviner la future formation des pompons. L 'espacement entre les nœuds est idéal : assez d'espace pour que l'air circule, mais assez serré pour promettre des têtes bien compactes. Elle a une allure de "sapin" parfaitement contrôlée. ​Merci à tous de suivre ce journal ! La plante est en pleine forme, sereine, et commence à préparer ses fleurs sérieusement. On se retrouve la semaine prochaine pour voir l'évolution des premiers trichomes !

Just water from now:))))

Week 15 / 6th week in bloom :) One more week done, and even closer to harvest! Both my girls are looking great and starting to smell quite strong, I just love it!

Pretty big plant I would grow this again when its spring or summer, the yields will be massive Its winter now -1 outside I heat the tent with an intake that goes straight above my gas heating downstairs

Stretch 7centimètres Jour52 arrosage avec de l'eau ph6.3

WEEK 9 It only went somewhat well with my plant. For several days now, I’ve been dealing with a magnesium deficiency. I’m adding some CalMag to the regular watering now, and it seems like things are starting to improve. Other than that, the plant is doing okay. It doesn’t have a particularly strong stem, but it does have a nicely bushy shape. It stretched very little — so little, in fact, that I had to prop it up a bit so it would be roughly at the same height as its neighbors. So far, I’m only mildly impressed. This strain probably won’t be a big yielder and seems to be quite demanding when it comes to nutrients. That would be forgiven if the terpene profile turns out great. I’m hoping for the best, but up to now, this isn’t an overwhelming strain PPFD: 800µmol/m²/s Water: 2x water, 2x nutrient solution

Week 5

2018-03-13 Week 11 Day 1 As I mentioned last week, the girls are growing like crazy since I changed to 600W HPS,and even though they haven't grown so much higher, they are definetly wider because of LST. My growroom is only about 1.8m2, so now the girls are so wide that there's not enough space for them to get wider, so now I will let them stretch. Nr 1 is 43 cm Nr 2 is 44 cm 2018-03-14 Day 2 I LST'd the girls one last time and also defoliated them mildly so all the tops get as much light as possible, hopefully increasing the yield in the end. I also turn the girls 1/4 lap every day to ensure that all sides of them get as much exposure to light as possible, it would've been great to have some kind of turntable that turns the girls 1 lap in 12 hours,, but until I find out a device that does just that,I'll keep on doing it manually. Added some videos for you to enjoy. 2018-03-18 Day 6 Watering the girls with 2l of plain water (pH 5.8), the soil were dry after 3 days since they got water and nutes. I want to release the remaining dry nutes buried in the soil. Some of the girls got burnt leaves but not from nutes, but from the hps-lamp, they've stretched so much so I raised the lamp about 10 cm, but now I'll keep an eye on the distance between the lamp and canopy, don't want them to get burnt again. But lucky me, only leaves got burnt - no top got harmed 👍 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strain information: The word synergy is a business term first quoted in the early eighties to describe mutual enhancement through interaction or cooperation, where the end result gained is greater than the sum of the parts used. What do synergy and the Crazy Cookies cannabis strain have to do with each other you may well ask? The parents of the forthrightly indica Crazy Cookies are marijuana royalty. OG Kush and Girl Scout Cookies. These strains of contemporary legend have been combined to cerebrum shattering effect. The cured flowers deliver a mouth-watering and couchlocking 24% THC. The initial delectable spacey upbeat onrush compliments of the Durban Poison coursing through the genes of the Cookies soon becomes a lush and rich, inescapably delicious body flux. There should be a picture of a Crazy Cookie nugget in the dictionary next to the word synergy. Crossing the OG back into the Cookies has amplified the psychoactive effects of the notorious lineage of both parents. This is an indica with a capital I. As a breeder it would be fair to assume that injecting more OG into the Cookies would result in an OG-dominant Cookie, or even close to a pure OG, but something else has happened. Some long dormant genetic switch has been flipped and a standalone indica has emerged whose spicy notes and earthy tones, hints of grape and horny pheromone are an absolute pleasure. Paying this breed some careful attention as it grows will reward you substantially, indoors or out. Typical hybrid vigour is shown throughout each grow phase. Stout plants to 80cm can be expected indoors and muscular examples with fluted stalks growing to two metres can be easily achieved outdoors. Good bracing is necessary as the flowers mature. With more than 500g at harvest per robust plant, colas can easily snap and twist branches. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚 Woche 11 im Vergleichsgrow seit dem Eintopfen! Bio Tabs NL. vs. Weedefix (Stuttgart/ Germany) Blütetag: 43(BW6) Nach der sechsten Blütewoche, performed aktuell die Weedefix Pflanze besser. Nach wie vor ist der Zustand dieser Pflanze Tip Top. Ich habe im Vergleichsgrow bewusst das ganze System an sich gleich gehalten, eben nur die Düngerkomponenten sind unterschiedlich. Hier entwickelt sich alles wie es soll. Schöne Blütenentwicklung und eine Top gesunde Pflanze! Die Blütenentwicklung bleibt bisher dennoch sehr ähnlich. Es bleibt spannend! Diese Woche, habe ich einmal mit Wasser und 5ml Wachstum (Ferment mit Melasse und Hefeextrakten) gegossen. Ansonsten nur Wasser. Die Bedingungen im Growzelt sind aktuell wieder top! ————— 🌞 Temp: 26 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 54% VPD: 1,71 kPa 💡ppfd: 830 mpm —————

Honestly i was thinking about this girls gonna grow big i mean BIG because all branches grow about 2-3cm everyday i put a stuck to make sure how much they grow every day! I think i should put a second layer of net . Guys if you want use silicon for your plants make sure its mono silicic acid not potassium silicate or other silicate nutrients because they need months to absorbs by the plant,silicone can be absorbed by plant in mono silicic acid form Update: one of my girls show signs of preflowering and i am so worry about. I want a big plant with large cola

A solo dias de transplantar los clones a macetas de 7 litros!!

The weather's finally starting to warm up. It feels so good to have the sun out and to open the windows. With all this extra sunshine, my pound cake plant is really taking off! It's growing so fast, and it's starting to look really full and healthy. I can almost see tiny buds on the ends of the branches - maybe it'll even have flowers soon!

It so special for me this strain !!! me and dutch passion ones again... wish for dia grill healty and good luck.. much tank ,@dutchpassionseeds

Massive fattening this week from the Lemon AK, shes a big one. Another 2-3 weeks and she might be ready! Zkittles is maturing, but slower than i had hoped :( another week at least i think. but thats about what everyone else gets. Both of these plants are very true to their names and smell spot on. Lower nute intake seems to be working somewhat so im gonna keep it this way till the end.

Tag 82: Hab mich nun doch entschieden , da die Trichome wirklich zu 90% Milchig sind , die Dame am Stamm abzuhacken . (Extra ein kleines Beil gekauft (scherz)) . Dann im Stück einfach Kopfüber . Abluft ist an , Ventilator unter der Spitze . Jetzt noch 4-5 Tage warten (je nach Temp und Feuchte) . Und dann schauen wir mal was es wird .Für mich wichtig , viel Feuchtigkeit im Raum , ich will das sie auch nach dem Trocknen noch kleben . Ergo hab ich den Stoftopf drinne stehen gelassen . Tag 82-88: Kopfübertrocknung + Temperatur : 21°C - 23°C) + Lüftfeuchtigkeit : 52%rH-60%rH + VPD kleiner gleich 1.2 + 4 bis 5 Tage Ich versuche maximal einen VPD von 1.2 zu halten für ca 4-5 Tage. Tag 85: Ein Video hinzugefühgt wo ihr das Trockenzelt sehen könnt. Die LED hab ich genau unter der Abluft angebracht damit kein einseitiger Luftzug entsteht, dafür mit mehr Power . Tag 86: Video von der Kopfüberhängenden hinzugefühgt. Tag 88: 5 Tage lang getrocknet , Blüten vom Stiel getrennt und in Schalen in den Weinkühlschrank mit Silikatgel für die Feuchteregelung. Tag 90: Trichome aufgenommen. CureBoxen geschlossen nach 2 Tagen im Weinkühler Next Step: Bouveda 58% , Sauerstoffabsorbierer

High

Honestly, last week I switched to watering exclusively with water with the recommended pH level. I defoliated, perhaps even did some kind of partial trimming in vivo. Expect my results, friends, it will be a rich harvest of delicious cones!
