They are still not too happy with me... Not liking the nutrient strength I choose again.. So after 24hrs of just ph water and 1/4 strength hydroguard. No change I thought they would appreciate just water and a root stimulate. But no change in root or plant mass. Looking like they are very stunted from nutrient burn.
So moving forward I went with same strength as the 1st feeding that they liked. But I did it in a hurry before work and realized after the fact that I put that same amount I put before but didn't account for lowering the water level to 3.5 gal from 4gal. So end up being slightly stronger then before. I did add 0.5ml of hydroguard to each bucket. Also added 0.5 of bud candy to each bucket. But hoping they work with me fingers crossed.
4/12/2023 5.8/72°F/221(Left rear) 5.8/72°F/227(Middle front) 5.8/72°F/214(right rear)
No sign of transitioning to flower yet.
4/14/23 Colorado Cookies recovered and jumped like a inch looking alot better! Overall Height 3.5"
And I noticed that there was some growth in the root zone. But noticed there is something going on with the upper leafs.
Runtz Seems to be recovering but still a little rough. Overall Height 2" But I did notice the roots mass did not change and they still appear to have the brown tint and seems to have gotten slightly worse toward the bottom of 6"net basket. I believe that's contributing to the slow recovery. Still looking alot better tho.
Banana Purple Punch seems to have bearly changed at all. There's very slight growth in center. No change to root mass at all. Overall Height 1.5"
Found some very helpful information on measuring EC instead of ppm and how to monitor EC and Ph. So will be doing this moving forward. I'm going to redo Banana's bucket to exactly what I gave the 1st time she was happy but this time accounting for the .5 gal change in water level. I'm also looking into if I can use the hydroguard at full strength on nutrient burned autos since its not a nutrient for the plant. But I need to fight the brown roots in runtz tonight. See if I can't get all three happy! And save this grow to a more acceptable outcome.
Stats 4/14/2023 6.25Ph/72°F/222ppm(runtz) 6.33Ph/72°F/218ppm(banana) 6.28Ph/72°F/215ppm Cookies
I added 1ml total hydroguard to all and added .05 total calmag to all and ph to 5.8
4/15 I changed the water on all buckets. raised the water level back to 4 gal on Banana since it has the smallest root mass. And put full strength hydroguard and full strength rapid start in all buckets amd ph to 5.8 and left it for 24 hrs. I made a floral spray of armor si at 0.33ml to full spray bottle. Wet em down good. Twice today.
4/16 I noticed Banana's leaf tips began to droup a little. So lowered water back to 3.5 gal and mixed the nutrients for 3 gal to be safe and leave ppm for cal mag and bud candy without nutrient burn. Added 0.5 cal mag and 0.5 bud candy. I trimmed all the burned leaf tips off, so I can see if and when it burns again. And since it was the best my test has looked yet I took a video and some pictures. But still need to figure out whats going on with Colorado cookies. Has spotty yellowing. Thought maybe light burn. So checked and raised like a inch or so. But there leafs below that are almost fully yellow. Like nutrient deficiency. Trying to read her but not getting it yet. gavw them a spray of armor si.
4/17 ph to 5.8 bucket stats. Sprayed with armor si
6.1/74°F/200ppm/425uscm/0.85EC(Runtz) 6.3/72°F/207ppm/440uscm/0.88EC(Banana) 6.0/74°F/210ppm/446uscm/0.89EC(cookies)
Thinking about LST cookies and pull top down. But want to address the yellowing 1st.
4/18 I changed the water in buckets to just water with 50ml hydrogen peroxide 3% to 3.5 gal water and left it for 3 hrs. During this 3 hrs I turned both fans off and made a foliar spray with 0.30 ml gh flora trio and 0.25 cal mag and sprayed them down and turned the light off for 3 hrs.
So after the 3 hrs peroxide treatment. I changed water out with fresh water and did my nutrient differently.
I got the EC of my tap water whixh was between 0.19 and 0.23 between the buckets. Then I added cal mag to 0.5EC
And added nutrients base and additions to a EC of 1.0. Then I added 4ml hydroguard to 3.5gal. And ph to 5.8

Been an awesome week!😎
Lots of things going on last week.. We started LST, made a few LST adjustments, gave the ladies a haircut, and further refined the nutes👍
Looking forward to seeing some signs of flowering this week. 🙏
I used to believe I was a man of patience 😅
Stay tuned for pics and videos throughout the week.🙌
Happy Growing!

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil spread evenly across the top of the soil.
Day 1 we had plenty of rain this morning with partly to mostly cloudy skies. The high temperature was 86°F
Day 2 we had a high temperature of 91°F. Skies were clear but it was super humid. I defolated some more today. I watered 3-4 gallons from the hose.
Day 3 we had a high temperature of 94° with partly cloudy to clear skies. It was super hot and humid. I watered 3-4 gallons from the well. I'm defoliating a few leaves here and there and opening these girls up.
Day 4 we had a high temperature of 94 with average humidity of 94. Skies were cloudy and we had thunderstorms that produced high winds and heavy rainfall. Several of my 7 gallon pots that hadn't rooted into the ground were blown over.
Day 5 we had a high temperature of 83°F. It was super humid today and we had a very heavy fog this morning. I watered about 4 gallons of well water.
Day 6 we had cooler weather today with a high temperature of 78°F. Skies were partly cloudy and I watered about 3 gallons from the hose.
Day 7 we had cooler weather again oday with a high temperature of 79°F. Skies were mostly sunny and I watered about 3 gallons from the hose.
Overall this week was a success. Unfortunately all three plants have powdery mildew. They are being treated with a bio fungicide. I'm removing leaves a little at a time. I'm going to be more aggressive next week in trying to get this under control. This weather has not helped. We have had one of the wettest, most humid summer since I've been here. Powdery mildew is on several of the native plants along our tree line and yard. It's been an issue and typically fastbuds have had a lot of resistance. This weather has been brutal and I'll be doing what I can to keep this under control. I didn't feed any this week as the plants are showing signs of excess phosphorus and the feather meal breaks down to feed slowly.

🌿 Woche 3 – Vegetative Phase (19.–26. Oktober)
Die Mädels sind jetzt deutlich in der Hauptvegetation angekommen.
Das Wachstum hat sich in dieser Woche sichtbar beschleunigt: kräftige Stiele, gleichmäßige Kronenbildung und eine stabile, tiefgrüne Blattfarbe prägen das Gesamtbild.
Die Spider Farmer SE3000 läuft inzwischen auf 55 % Leistung (≈ 480 µmol/m²/s · DLI ≈ 30–31) und liefert eine gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung über die gesamte Fläche.
Keine Pflanze zeigt Lichtstress oder Verbrennungen – das Canopy ist geschlossen und harmonisch.
📋 Aktuelle Eindrücke
Canopy: gleichmäßig, kräftige Farbe, leichtes „Lifting“ der oberen Blätter – Zeichen hoher Photosyntheseaktivität.
Substrat: lebendig und locker, leichte Mikroflora sichtbar – ein gesundes, aktives Bodenleben.
Klima:
Tag: 25–26 °C · rLF 50–55 %
Nacht: Werte folgen (wird nachgetragen)
Sehr stabile Bedingungen, idealer VPD-Bereich für starkes vegetatives Wachstum.
Lichtabstand: aktuell ~60–65 cm – optimal bei 55 % Leistung.
💧 Gieß- und Nährstoffplan
Zyklus alle 2–3 Tage, abhängig von der Trocknung der Töpfe:
1️⃣ Bactrex-Tee (~1 g/L) auf trockene Erde
2️⃣ Reines Wasser (pH ≈ 6.5)
3️⃣ Orgatrex (2 ml/L, kein Run-off, langsam gegossen)
Die Erde trocknet gleichmäßig in 48–72 h – ein deutliches Zeichen für starke Wurzelaktivität.
🌱 Strain-Layout / Zeltanordnung
Position Sorte Kurzbeschreibung
Front L/R Cherry Poppers × 2 🍒 kompakt, symmetrisch, satte Farbe, ruhiger, gleichmäßiger Wuchs
Center-L (gelber Topf) Karate Kit 🥋 kompakter Phänotyp, kräftiger Mitteltrieb, frühe Seitentriebe
Center-R (terracotta) Lemon Orange 🍋 größte Pflanze im Zelt, breite Fächerblätter, moderater Stretch
Back L/R White Gorilla Haze × 2 🦍 dunkelgrün, buschig, enge Nodien, stabile Struktur
📸 Visuelle Entwicklung (19. → 24. Oktober)
Vom Start der Woche bis heute hat sich das Canopy sichtbar verdichtet.
Die Pflanzen stehen kompakt, zeigen kräftige Stiele und einen gleichmäßigen Aufbau.
Die Blattfarbe ist tiefgrün mit leicht glänzender Oberfläche – Hinweis auf optimale Ernährung und Photosynthese.
White Gorilla Haze (Back L/R): buschig und dicht, starke Blattmasse, kräftige Blatttiefe.
Lemon Orange (Center-R): größte Pflanze im Bestand, breite Blätter, gleichmäßiger Stretch.
Karate Kit (Center-L): symmetrischer Aufbau mit deutlicher lateraler Entwicklung.
Cherry Poppers (Front L/R): kompakt, gleichmäßig, ruhig wachsend – klassischer Indica-Habitus.
Das Gesamtbild des Zeltes ist geschlossen und vital. Keine Mängel, kein Lichtstress, keine Verformungen.
🧠 Notizen & Beobachtungen
Luftfeuchte bei 50–55 % halten – kurzzeitig anheben, wenn sie unter 45 % fällt.
Umtopfen in 18 L Endtöpfe, sobald die Wurzelballen vollständig durchzogen sind (voraussichtlich Anfang Woche 4).
LST-Training ab der 5.–6. Nodie geplant.
Aktuelle Lichtleistung (55 %) bleibt bis zum Umtopfen konstant – PPFD und Temperatur perfekt ausbalanciert.
✅ Fazit – Woche 3
Eine rundum stabile und produktive Vegetationswoche.
Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich kräftig, gesund und gleichmäßig; keine Stresssymptome oder Mängel.
Das Klima ist konstant, das Substrat aktiv, und die Beleuchtung optimal abgestimmt.
Woche 3 hat das Fundament für Training und Umtopfen in Woche 4 gelegt.
Gesamtbewertung: 🌿 9.5 / 10
Vitales, ausgeglichenes Wachstum – starke Struktur, gesunde Blätter und lebendiger Boden.

great, everything is going really smoothly, @Zamnesia Runtz auto, copes perfectly with leaf spot and LST, started to bloom, so I think it will soon stop growing upwards, and I won't have to hurt it anymore :) @Plagron This is the first time I've used nutritional fertilizers, but I already understand that it definitely won't be the last :) good luck to everyone :).

After defoliating both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants after week 11 they now develop more and amore flower clusters, since the light can penetrate deeper int the canopy now. The plants are producing trichomes like crazy, even the bigger sugar leaves are covered in them! VERY FROSTY PLANTS! The flower clusters clearly form colas now along all side branches and both plants fill up nicely. The smell is now strong and sweet with a clear peach aroma to it, it makes me smile every time I look into the tent. The plants love the Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule and are getting the recommended dose every watering.

Hi Growmies~!
What This Post is About
Today, I'll be recording how to cultivate soil microbes at home.
These microbes offer numerous benefits, and they are simple to make.
How I Came Up with This Technique
Since 2014, I’ve tried synthetic growing methods like DWC. While they gave quick results, I often ran into issues with consistency.
Nutrients would expire during breaks, meaning I had to keep buying new bottles.
I strongly felt I needed a change.
A couple of years ago, after taking a break, I started to research and switched to organic growing.
At first, it felt overwhelming with all the steps and prep work, but I saw real potential.
After experimenting with different methods, I came across Korean Natural Farming (KNF) and JADAM, introduced by Mr. Cho.
His simple, ultra low-cost techniques inspired me. They focus on letting nature do the work.
While growing,
I noticed that synthetic nutrient bottles were expensive, especially when trying to complete a full nutrient set.
Organic growing may require more attention and can be costly when investing in organic materials.
Preparing the soil in advance and top dressing with dry nutrients every other week - just these two methods were consuming space, time, and money.
Indoor farming is unnatural, while organic farming is a natural approach.
I had to bring these ideas together, but organic farming often seems geared toward large plots like farms.
Incorporating organic techniques into my indoor garden requires a lot of effort and careful calculations.
So this is one of my techniques for keeping my plants happy:
supporting their daily needs helps them snap out of deficiencies quickly, allowing them to grow consistently.
It took me a while to adapt this technique for indoor use.
I hope this helps, guys!
Supplies Needed
- Potatoes: Provide nutrients and food for the microbes.
- Sea Salt: Stimulates microbial activity and controls harmful organisms.
- Dechlorinated Water: Allows the microbes to grow and multiply.
- Compost, leaf mold, or worm castings: Contains natural microorganisms that are key for this process.
How to Make (1 gallon)
1 cooked potato (about 2 golf ball-sized)
1 pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons compost or worm castings
1 gallon dechlorinated water
1. Mix Ingredients: In a clean container, fill it with the dechlorinated water, dissolve the sea salt, and add the compost along with the mashed potato.
2. Ferment: Optionally cover the container and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours.
3. Strain (Optional): After fermentation, you can strain the solution if you prefer a clearer liquid.
Note: Watch the timelapse video to see how the microbes activate!
**WARNING**
Wear gloves if possible and/or avoid contact with open wounds
How to Use
IMPORTANT: Always dilute the solution before applying it to plants.
- Use when bubbles form a "pizza shape" on the surface.
- Dilute 5-10 ml per liter of water for bi-weekly feeding. (Test a small batch first to find the best rate for your setup.)
- Once the bubbles disappear, the microbes are likely inactive. You can either mix the rest with water as fertilizer or discard it.
Pros
Promotes Plant Growth
- Usually fixes deficiencies in as little as 6 to 72 hours.
- Improves nutrient absorption, and helps plants thrive.
Boosts Plant Immunity
- Works as IPM: Can be used as foliar sprays (no staining on leaves).
- Lowers the risk of powdery mildew and other diseases.
- Helps the soil ecosystem with beneficial organisms like predatory mites and springtails.
- Naturally reduces pest pressure (Less risk of fungus gnats and other pests).
Improves Soil Health & Supports Composting
- Quickly breaks down organic matter and nutrients.
- Makes growing organically in small containers, like 1-gallon pots, easy.
- Over time, soil becomes softer and richer, even in small pots.
Cost-Effective, Sustainable & Eco-Friendly
- No need for complex equipment like pH pens, air pumps, or other tools.
- Reduces the need for CalMag, N-P-K, or micronutrient supplements (just add a little bit of sea salt to every watering).
- No sugar sources needed in the soil.
- Works for all types of plants—houseplants, exotics, ornamentals, and crops.
Cons
- Limited shelf life; the solution will develop an unpleasant odor after a certain period.

Vypadají velmi spokojeně.
Díky odvlhčovači vzduchu je ve stanu trochu tepleji než bych si přál, ale to nevadí, vše je lepší než plíseň.
Shogun voní jako svěží citrón.
Sweet Orange XL voní skutečně jako sweet orange...OMG miluji tu vůni
Jednou zalévám pouze s RQS tabletami easy bloom booster (jedna tableta na 8 litrů) EC 0.7-1.
Podruhé RQS tablety easy bloom booster (jedna tableta na 8 litrů) + hnojiva od Biobizz EC 1,5-1,7.
Zalévám každou z rostlin tak, aby měla dostatečný odtok vody ze spodku květináče.

We are on week two of flowering and the ladies are loving it .. we defoliated and pulled some branches around increasing air movement and light penetration.. The cheese has been a little picky .. lighter on the nutes and doesn't like training very well..The team @seedsmen seeds have bomb genetics and I can't wait to stArt my next seedsman diary sooo good ..keep an eye out for week three ..
