Girls are looking great. They’re bulking up and developing more structure and getting taller.

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Schönen Sonntag und 3. Advent euch =) ! 🌱 Wochenupdate Die Woche lief mal ohne Drama, zum Glück =D Ich habe kurz nach dem Stretch alle Maßnahmen eingeleitet, um das Canopy sauber zu formen. Die ersten sanften Klima-Anpassungen sind erfolgt, und wir bewegen uns auf die Blüte zu – aaaaw yeeeah =D Wie ich ja bereits erwähnt hatte, wollte ich nach dem Sonden-Fix erst einmal visuell beurteilen, wann der Stretch wirklich vorbei ist und wir final auf die Meshes sortieren 😊. Die Sonde läuft inzwischen wieder zuverlässig, aber zu diesem Zeitpunkt konnte ich mich darauf leider noch nicht voll verlassen … Ich habe also noch einen weiteren Tag trainiert und bei jeder Kontrolle darauf geachtet, wie weit sie über das Netz drüber sind und ob es sich dabei um echten Stretch oder nur um Rebound vom Runtertrainieren handelt =) Dienstag hatte ich dann deutliche Anzeichen, dass wir endlich durch sind 😄 Ab hier habe ich jeden potenziellen Trieb auf ein Mesh verteilt und die, die etwas zu weit waren oder noch gebogen ins Netz zurückgeholt 😁. Als das Canopy „locked“ war, habe ich ihnen erst mal ein wenig Ruhe gegönnt. Da ich nach 12 h kein Zeichen von Stagnation durch Stretch-Erholung und Umverteilung feststellen konnte, konnte ich es nicht lassen und habe das komplette Canopy defoliert =D Der Gedanke dahinter war einfach, so früh wie möglich viel Licht an die jungen Budsides zu bekommen 😄 Jedes Blatt, das Schatten geworfen hat oder keinen direkten Nutzen hatte, wurde entfernt =) Sie haben es mir direkt bei der nächsten Kontrolle gedankt 😁 Hier habe ich dann das erste Mal echt mit mir gehadert. Die Frage war, ob ich jetzt nach Lehrbuch fahre und ihnen ein paar Tage Ruhe gebe oder ob ich direkt weiter im Programm mache und die Under-Canopy-Defo hinterherschiebe. Es wäre schon ein Traum, direkt zu Beginn vom Aufbau einen guten Energiefluss zu haben =D Die Ladys standen absolut vital und haben förmlich dazu eingeladen … also habe ich natürlich direkt durchgezogen und direkt unter dem Netz defoliert =D Hier wurden alle Spaghetti-Triebe und alles, was nicht oben im Netz angekommen war oder kein echtes Potenzial hatte, entfernt. Alles, was geht, soll ohne Umwege in die Tops gehen. Und bitte kein Popcorn =D =D Anschließend habe ich noch die Luftzirkulation angepasst, damit unter dem Netz wieder ein schöner Luftstrom entsteht =) Man sieht sogar wieder, welche Pflanze welche ist =D ! Jetzt geht’s auf in die Blüte – bin gespannt, wie es weitergeht 😊 🌱 Pflanzenstatus & Training Alle machen sich gut =) Bei Notorious habe ich das Gefühl, sie stretcht deutlich buschiger als die anderen – sehr viele brauchbare Triebe, wirklich eine tolle Scrog-Plant 😁. Bei Purpz ist mein Eindruck, dass sie deutlich mehr versucht hat, nach oben zu kommen. Hier muss man wirklich hinterher sein, wenn man sie sauber scroggen möchte. Blueberry Cupcake – absoluter Performer 😄, damit habe ich aber auch schon gerechnet bei dem, was ich über die Genetik gelesen und gehört habe =) Zu guter Letzt das Sorgenkind Guzzlerz: Hier wird auf jeden Fall noch mal was kommen in Zukunft. Leider hatte ich massive Probleme mit der Keimrate. Die einzige, die aufgegangen ist, ist schon mit einem Keimblatt zu wenig ins Rennen gestartet und konnte einfach nicht so gut hinterherkommen. Trotzdem füllt sie eine kleine Ecke im Netz und sieht auch sonst im Vergleich top aus 😄 – nur eben kleiner. Da werde ich auf jeden Fall noch mal testen, wie ein guter Seed performt 😊 ⚙️ System Nach wie vor selbes Vorgehen mit Top-Ups =) Aktuell brauchen die Ladys deutlich mehr Wasser als Nährstoffe, weil nach der Defo und dem Canopy-Sorting der Wasserverbrauch durch die Auxin-Umverteilung und die erhöhte Transpiration deutlich ansteigt =) 1,1 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt EC der Lösung wurde auf 1,9 EC erhöht 1000 PPFD Vielen Dank mal wieder fürs Lesen und die Anteilnahme, nur liebe für euch =) Eine schöne Woche =)

DAY 53 Had to take out of the room the Amnesia XXL hermaphrodite; cant take the risk of turning the rest into males too. DAY 54 FUUUCKKK!! The wind dropped a piece of heavy wood onto the plants!!! 1 of the Moby Dick was totally broken. Some branches of the neighbour plants were affected too. So that's 2 plants lost at the moment (the hermaphrodite and the broken one). Day 56 Two days after the tragedy. Had to reorganize the room to prevent similar accidents in the future 🖤😢 Saved the most I could but definately this stressing event will influence the plant’s development. Also, considering taking out the claw leaved plant, which has signs of hermaphroditism (FML again 😫). Hope these 7 make it till the end. PS: Also, there’s 1 Moby Dick which has no signs of flowering at day 56, cant figure out what’s happening with it. I’m starting to think that it’s an Regular Feminized seed instead of an autoflowering.

So gonna stick with 1ml/l for the rest of the grow now, i think the problems were just too much in the soil and since lowering nutes the problems are slowing down. Another week or two for the Zkittlez, seeing amber on the sugar leaves but not quite on the buds yet although it is mostly cloudy. Lemon AK is behing as it was germed later but still looks to be forming some nice buds and now has a fantastic smell of its own. Looking forward to these so much cant wait!!!!

Just began flower, smells a little, but coming along, also with hips of bud sites. Some buns from net nut mix.

18JULY2025: Plant in the middle still is behind in flowering. See image with deficit visible on the sheets. Could be potassium. What do y´all think? My landloard is filtering the tabwater. Could this be the reason for a potassium deficit?

This strain is very heterozygous. 4 seeds were started. The 4 phenos were very different. I saved 2 of those phenos for my arsenal, which is quite exceptionnal. I ususally save just one pheno from a strain. The Pheno #1 was mainly sativa (75%). Long branches. Lots of fluffy buds. The more resistant to mold, but it has to be with the fluffiness. The taste was cheesy and spicy, which has nothing to see with the 3 other phenos. Not a single ressemblance with ak-47 parents as well. It shares the musky undertones of the strain, but nothing else. That pheno is gone. Not enough potential. Terpene profile was deceiving, just as the cannabinoid content. The Pheno #2 has more indica in it (45% indica). robust and tall plant with dense heavy buds. No mold resistance at all. Biggest producer. The taste was earthy and musky with hints of wood. That pheno is gone. Not enough potential. The Pheno #3 is my favorite one. It reminded me of the good old Ak-47, with her flowery/sweet/skunky smell and taste. Pure nostalgia! Tall and quite robust plant with huge fluffy buds coated with trichomes. She grows pretty similar to Lemon Skunk if you know the reference. Great producer of top quality buds. So sticky! In my top 3 sativa for 2 years. The aroma is very close to the old school Ak-47: sweet, flowery and skunky. It tastes like sweet lemon on the inhale, with a sharp touch of spicy lavender and earth on the exhale. IMO, that is the pheno we want to save from that heterozygous strain. Backcrossing this one would be a very good idea. The Pheno #4 is just as interesting as my favorite #3. The only issue with this one is about mold resistance. Crazy compact and heavy budst! One of the most productive I’ve ever seen too. More traits of the Ak-47 in the aromatic profile, but nothing like the #3. On the structure side, we can immediately recognize the sturdy and bushy structure of Ak-47. THC content is very high too. I suspect the CBD content to be high as well. The effect is a mood elevation, with good focus and a deep body relaxation; a bit similar to what White widow does. The aroma is earthy and pungent. Very skunky and musky. It tastes very sweet and earthy on the inhale, with hints of skunk on the exhale. That pheno #4 expresses the best traits of the Ak-47 in its structure, while pheno #3 kept the aromatic profile.

Sorry it took so long for an update. I got married in the meantime and went on a honeymoon. Before I went though I took the plants down and had a friend take care of the drying and curing. It looks like I got 2 pheno's. One is has more red hairs and is a bit more skunky and peppery. The other has bit more sativa like bud forming and smells a bitt gassy in addition to the tangieness. The yield is also definitely not disappointing. Plant 1: 76gr Plant 2: 68gr Plant 3: 65gr Total:209gr I am happy with that. Especially since it's my first LED grow.

In dieser Woche wurde die Pflanze nicht mehr besprüht und die Luftfeuchtigkeit ein wenig gesenkt 💦 Die RP43 ist in dieser Woche sehr gut gewachsen , deshalb wurde die Dünger Gabe erhöht . In der ersten Woche war es ca. die Hälfte ☘️🌱 Ich denke sie wird noch 1 -1 1/2 Wochen in der Veggi sein bevor ich das Licht umstelle 💡

Hello guys ! new week and an amazing week ! Told you she was working on her buds and now you can see all of them. It's the perfect moment for a small defoliation in order to increase the focus of the buds. You can see the videos Before and After. I will have to add bamboo stick because the buds are starting to be too heavy ! she is gonna start to show her colors next week I think. Hope you enjoy Take care Sawyer

After 21 days in turbo cloner I transplanted 4 Sweet seeds Green Poison into 1 gallon plastic pots filled with Cana coco. Few days later I transplanted another 4 clones into DWC! Stay tuned! Coco feed at 700ppm Dwc feed at 480ppm

3 for 3 on the bean pops. Now just gotta weed out the males. This grow is for Shawn, the breeders son

Day 91 - No water for 6 days - White pistils apparent - Watered ONLY - Vibe: 😳 "What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?… Or does it explode?" — Langston Hughes

👉Day43- buds getting fatter and fatter every day :) i can just watch nothing to do rly..:) 👉Day44-Did little deformation and changed 22h>21h lighting since i saw info abt this strain 20h is best they say..... Week or 2 and will change from 21h>20h sleping time so they can rest little bit loonger🤣🤣👍 👉Day45- spoted calcium deficiecy onley on the biggest plant od 3..or 4 leafes.... 😣😪 overall all is well :) 👉Day46-flowers start to smell rly rly nice!!! U can alredy smell that orange/citrus/sweet strong smell when u smell it closely💚🤗🤗🤗💚 👉Day47-2flowers had sings of heat strees(expected that!) so i change height of lap for 10cm,reorganize positions of flowers,so the lower buds are in the middle..... and change fann position, they also kinda stopped rising in to the high white&blue sky!! Height info:cca 85,cm 70cm,66cm,64cm,64cm and the farthest bud away from lamp is like 65cm 🤗👍 👉Day48-flowers flowering rly good :) little calcium deficiency..and did kinda big deformation .... nothing to do now anymore rly ......can just water them every 2days and wait :)🤗🤗 👉👉Have fun mates and be safe!!!😷🤣👍💚

Sorry for the lack of uploading ! These plants have been perfect from the start. Budding out nicely and haven't shown any signs if defficiency. All training has been stopped and I have started cutting back on the nitrogen for the 2 autoflowers. The peanut butter cookies is growing to be very bushy so I have done some light defoliation to help with light penetrative to the lower canopy of the plant

The plants are growing at a good rate now and drinking a litre each per day. I feed them by hand and each plant gets 2litres every other day. Didn't do anything else this week other than install the trellis on the last day. Love the way these genetics grow and fill out the tent. When I was growing the mother in the pheno hunt I remember remarking how well this plant took to being topped. These 2 plants are front and right in the timelapse video.
