What's up growmies 🤟🏽 Week number 4 is in the books🙌🏾 Today marks the official start of week 5 and just like my previous grows all my autos are starting to preflower. Like clockwork it starts around week 5 so it lets me know these are right on schedule. I am really focusing on keeping the main cola ties down to keep the canopy as even as possibly. Typically in the past I would stop tying them down during flowering and the main cola would outgrow the rest and dominate. This grow I am continuously tying the main cola down. They all are pretty even except for Caramelicious, her main cola is just a stud and won't bend to 180 w/o me snapping the main stalk. She still is my favorite though and it's my 7th time growing her (I plant at least 1 Caramelicious each grow) The nutrient schedule remains the same. I am feeding them General Hydroponics Flora series. (Floragro, FloraMacro, FloraBloom) I am mixing what the manufacturer recommends for 1 gallon into 3 gallons, so I'm giving roughly 1/3rd what's recommended and it seems to be the sweet spot for my set up and environment. All the plants are doing well and are not showing any signs of stress, deficiency, or toxicity at this point. The weather here in VA has been pretty cold which makes it perfect humidity wise for my indoor grow, without having to blast my Cloud intake system, or even turn on the dehumidifier which won't last long because they are starting to flower and will take up more volume increasing humidity so I expect to have to use them both in the next few weeks. It appears a spider has made it's home in my tent (I see webbing in one corner of the tent) I figured it'll take care of pests for me and is not harmful so I am leaving it be for now. All in all everything is going well so far, fingers crossed. That is it for now, until next time, Happy Growing and like always May the grow goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest!

Training This week was the start of the LST and, with that, a continuous gentle defoliation to ensure that the new shoots are getting a lot of direct light. Leaves (especially sun sails) growing over new shoots are either pressed down or, if necessary, removed. When LSTing, I always focus on gently bending the branches in the desired direction every day, without disregarding the natural structure of the plant. Once they reach a length of about 5 cm, I start to secure them with training stakes(*1). This way, the risk of damage (as well as overall stress for the plant) is kept to a minimum. Setup The lamp is now at max. intensity and min. distance (35 cm) at around 650 - 700 PPFD. (*1) I built the training stakes myself to match my needs (enough length, natural material, no sharp edges, slightly downward facing angle). Pests + Living Soil + Environment The combination of nematodes and sand seemed to work immediately, because the number of Sciaridae quickly dropped to about 2 - 3 adult flies per day. Still, on day 40 (8 days after adding the sand) I removed it again, because: - it was rather intended to support the nematodes (fewer new larvae), - the Sciaridae had fallen to a level that seemed acceptable, - it would keep the soil too anaerobic and moist in the long term. The decision also had a positive effect on the RH(*2) (approx. 10% increase). (*2) Relative humidity fluctuated slightly from day to day, but generally remained around 50%. Although removing the sand (at the end) of this week increased the RH, I only evaluated this ‘new average' RH from the following week onwards. Environment + Plants The stabilization of the environmental conditions and the increase in light, have allowed the plants to grow intensively this week. In the beginning, the relative humidity was still a little lower than I would like, but acceptable since the plants were still quite small and didn't need to be watered as often (large amount of substrate with corresponding buffering effect to keep the plants healthy. Plants During the seedling phase, I observed slight deficiency symptoms that at first glance looked like a nutrient problem (potassium, calcium, ...?). Since I cannot control the nutrient content as precisely as I could with a hydroponic system e.g., and the damage was manageable and occurred during a phase in which I also stressed the plants by allowing them to become too dry, I simply ignored it... with success. Since the system has been back in balance, there have been no further incidents of this kind. *Gorilla Z Auto was 20 cm tall, Mimosa Cake Auto 12 cm. (Pre-)Flower I have also been able to observe pre-flowering, which is consistent with my other observations. [Autoflowering genetics in particular do most of their growing during this phase, which lasts just under two weeks, roughly starting from week 3 - 5.]

Bueno, empezamos por el final familia. Gorilla girl, me parece una cepa BRU-TAL , ya partiendo de esa base, mi error, creo que e cometido , es poner estos ejemplares en macetas de 5L, que tonto... mínimo recomendado 7L y a ser posible 11L Otro error fue no dejarlas una semana más. pero, escasez. (intentaremos curarla un par de semanas). Cepa con flores muy compactas, hay bastante separación entre nudos pero compensa las flores de verdad. Sabor muy dulzón a mi me recuerda a melón , es un pepino recomendado para amantes de la hierba que llevan tiempo en esto, un colocón muy fuerte, ahora mismo estoy bajo los efectos de esta vaina, aseguro que con cada frase, leo varias veces y detenidamente por que válgame.

Another week on the Gorilla, she is forming bud, but real irregular and she seems to not fill out like she is supposed to. The plant is way smaller than her roommates too, in this case thankfully cause this will compensate a little for the loss of total weight she will cause. I had made a video but decided not to put it up, with too much strong language and questions of the integrity of the third-party seed bank in question. Remember that Expert seeds probably cant help this much, except not dealing with third parties messing up their good name. Well enough words for an so far underperforming plant. We did as much magic as we could, I think Im lucky if she yields 30 grams, lowering my total and average gram per watt score so thanks...

Feeding schedule has been steady with the girls transpiring 5 liters of water and "eating" 8 g of Megacrop and 20 ml of P-K booster per day. It's about that time when it would be wise for me to freeze my pruning shears in a gallon of ice to help with my impulse control. Geezuz these gals are getting dank. I had been running the 6-in carbon filter only during lights-on but noted a serious spike in terps during dark hours lately that I'm sure drifted to the neighbours, so the grow room air is now being scrubbed 24/7. That doesn't help with the stank that sticks to me whenever I touch the plants or even just go in the room. Candidly, I the smell is addictive to me, but the wife ain't no fan, so I have to do a body douche with alcohol, soap and water whenever I've been in the grow room. Bo is on the home stretch -- or fattening, at this stage -- with pistils browning across the canopy and trichomes starting to cloud up. I'm starting to believe @PirateJoe and @SativaKid in their mid-December estimates, for Bo, at least. Sophia continues to plug away, getting thick, but pistils are just starting to brown and trics are crystal clear, so 2 weeks behind, at least. The buds on both plants are developing a texture similar to the Kilimanjaro I grew outside this summer, @PirateJoe and @SativaKid have alluded to this as well: Dense, mushy buds that have an almost oily feel. I'm guessing this is characteristic of Sativas in general? Community input would be appreciated. I've been increasing the duration of UV exposure by 30 min during each of the 2 daily exposure periods every few days. Now up to 2 hours each period, and since I'm seeing no damage, I'll probably continue to increase the UV so it's on continuously for 7 hrs straight during the middle of the "day."

2x GZ und 1x BPP angesetzt 28.03.2024. PH 6.1 100ppm (50% Leitungswasser / 50% destilliertes Wasser) in Wattepads. Wird mein erster richtiger Grow in der Legalität. Deutschland erlaubt 3 Pflanzen für den Eigenanbau.

Day 36 of my first growI started taking bitter salt this week because of magnesium if anyone knows more about it please let us talk about it otherwise everything is going well just a few yellow leaves not too much💚😊

August 28th Finally white heads appear, Stretching seems to grind to a halt. Let hope so, she has almost grown against the glass, Little more trainig to do Fed with thomaskali few handfulls

Vanilla Latte from Huboldt Seed Company seems to be very stron strain! others still going very well...

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 21/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.4PH water with 0,5ml of each: Grow, Bloom and Max, and 1ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, noticed almost no run off, I use about 1/3 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 200/300PPM (500 scale). Did some light pruning also.

Did a defol on the covered budsites; feeding straight h20 at 6.0 this week I may have pushed the nutes a bit but that’s okay atleast I know he’s eating. Next few weeks I hope to get some smells coming off for an update 🤟

These are clones that I managed to take from my summer garden that became a disaster due to a heat wave that we had breaking 100 year records. I expect everything to be 48” in height at maturity.

Saturday, Feb. 20th What a Funride.... I looovwe that Egghunt... Thank you again @Silky_smooth...

El crecimiento va viento en popa, la flora ya va encaminada y varias colas van tomando lugar, constantemente voy acomodando los hilos del lst y saco las hojas que interfieren arriba para obtener una optima penetración de la luz. Mantuve constantemente el riego distribuido los días jueves 400ml (hongos benéficos) y Domingos 600ml (Nutrientes)

This girl looks waaaaay better than the last blue toof I grew. Gave her a tea yesterday and she is loving life. Decided not to top her so I'm hoping she produces a little bit of weight.

Smells amazing!!

Did some trimming Looking good so far this week going be testing the self water pot going on trip for few days humidity going be funky but hopefully well watered
