FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way — first week running without them) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 °C) → added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. That’s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 – FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel → added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 – Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring — no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. 🌿 Step 4 – FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) ≈ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone — looks alive and active. 🍋 Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. 📦 Step 6 – Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water → pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green — roughly 5.8 – 6.0 range. Nice clean look, stable smell, no residue. 💧 Current Base Ingredients (Active Mix) Warm Water ≈ 22 L total Calcinit 45 g → N + Ca foundation FERMAKOR PK Base 30 ml → P + K support Citric Acid 1 tsp → Chelation + pH balance FPJ / Fish Emulsion 30 ml → Organic enzyme booster Result: clean amber mix, mild and balanced. I’ll let this version run for a week before adding anything. 👀👀👀👀👀👀 Observations and changes 👀👀👀👀👀👀 27.10.25 VW27 noticed some min burnt tips so I decreased Calcium Nitrate 45 to → 40g, decided to add two more elements micros and Epsom salts just to make sure they got everything, Fetrilon Combi 1 (Micros): 0.5 g, Epsom salts: 8 g 28.10.25 VW27 she seems devoid of any deficiencies, seems ready for the flip to 12/12 02.11.25 VW27 girl is looking good so I decided to stop making daily videos and do a standard once a week update. 09.11.25 aVW28 7 days since flip,stretch in full swing, first pistils showing, leaf color deep and healthy. Slight tip burn early week → gone after pH stabilized. Feed stayed clear, no residue, roots clean and sweet-smelling, did what I hope is a last cleanup and pruning🎥 10.11.25 VW29 added Phosphoric acid pH down to the schedule for flowering stage. 14.11.25 FW1 FERMAKOR PK Micros 40 → 50 ml 23.11.25 FW2 got some burnt tips, observe and act accordingly in case it worsens, diluted by 25% for this week. 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 🌿Day to day tasks & actions 🌿 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 30.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 Nutrients in 30 L #1 Veg — FERMAKOR 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 Calcium Nitrate (Calcinit / Nitcal): 45 g → 40 g → 35 g = 1.33 g/L → 207 ppm N + 253 ppm Ca = 1.17 g/L → 183 ppm N + 224 ppm Ca (current) 💧 PK Concentrate (FERMAKOR Base): 30 ml → 40 ml → 50 ml = 1.00 → 1.33 → 1.66 ml/L → balanced 1:1 P:K + light micros (from extract) 💧 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (Fish + Veg): 30 ml = 1.00 ml/L Epsom Salt (MgSO₄·7H₂O): 8 g = 0.27 g/L → 26 ppm Mg + 35 ppm S 💧 Fetrilon Combi 1 (Micros): 0.5 g = 0.017 g/L → Fe 0.7 ppm • Mn 0.7 ppm • Zn 0.3 ppm • Cu 0.3 ppm • B 0.1 ppm • Mo 0.02 ppm Phosphoric Acid (pH down) + Citric Acid (chelation): → First set pH with phosphoric acid → Add a little citric only if extra chelation is needed 💧 Target pH: 5.8 – 6.0 (drop test yellow-green) 📦 TOTAL Inputs: 60 ml → 70 ml → 80 ml / 48.5 g per 30 L = 2.00 → 2.33 → 2.66 ml/L + 1.62 g/L (current) YouTube Link: https://youtube.com/-m8h?si=A7x4Zlr2kj-_ga31

Stacking wonderfully. Starting to fade a bit. Candy Bubatz supposed to take 9-10 weeks but not there yet. Very sticky. Harvest coming soon. My 1st grow is coming to an end. Hopefully I make it

Leaves are changing, and doing out. Trichomes are starting to get cloudy, as well as the hairs turning orange and curling.

They're growing nicely. I've managed to solve the fungus gnat issue without pesticides!! Just waiting for another node or two and will top them both!

Der strain ist absolut top 👍 werde ich öfters anbauen

Wow she's looking nice! Getting close to the end now. 😎

this week I took the opportunity to repot the Tropicana Banana and the roots had to be well developed, there was also the lamp change for a Phlizon Cree COB panel a super purchase and very effective, and also the start of the nutrients i have opted for Plagron than organic. in fact a lot of change and especially 16 cm plants. only happiness

Pretty happy with progress on the flowering. No idea how much longer it will take but I ran out of fertilizer. Will head to the local hydro store to pick some more up today. The large spindly plant is still growing. It's about twice as tall as the others and nowhere near as far along with the flowering - at least the buds are still much smaller. No idea what variety - a mystery plant!

One more week up we go :) i'.m doing 14h light 5h out 1h light 4 out since they are enjoying it so much i'm going to keep it up until i change to 12/12. the one hour ligth in the midle is just to prevent them from switching to flower. I'm Trying too keep it arround 500 umol/s/m2 for a total of 15h a day ligth for now this guives me a 27.00Mol/M2Day, i know i could go up to 34.00Mol/M2Day but sometimes less is more and i dont want to take my girls to a point were they are so tired that they cant process more light I'm learning and testing all this since it's my first time growing with this tecnologie , but i belive we have to keep moving fowerd and i belive this is the road to walk 😅 Girls: 1-BlueBerry 2-Alaskan Purple 3-Poyote Gorilla 4-Hindu Kush 5-Whitw Mango 6-Super Glue 7-Badazz Cookies 8-S.A.D. tent -8x8 / 2.4x2.4 but i'm only using 1/2 so 4x4 / 1.2x1.2 Led - Lumatek 465w Compact Pro at 75% All i Grow is medicine for myself, Stay safe, stay tuned and B Happy Peace out

Freshness in every hit. Citrus terps refresh your mind and body. Smells hard, hits harder. 26% THC that’ll blow your taste buds off. The best of both worlds. Perfectly balanced effect, the ideal all-day strain. Extremely resilient. Top-shelf harvests with minimal maintenance! Sour citrus terps. Loads of orange terps make for the most delicious hash and extracts.

Almost finished 😮 , i guess 1 feeding week left now before the flush begins

Rainbow Saltz from lit farms is another winner. It has larger solid nugs too to bottom very round golf balls size nugs probably slightly larger than golf balls. Very uniform strong growth with soild stems that can easily hold its own without an any steaks or tying. The plant doesn’t have the strongest smell yet although it is a lot plant. So I do expect it to have good smell b4 all is said and done. It doesn’t have super dense tricombs quite yet. It seems to have smaller tricomb heads usually when they have small tricomb heads they end up just having a bunch of tricombs. I like how soild the plant is it has potential to breed with a super dank plant.

It’s so warm today! Of course I pulled all my plants out to spray with spinosad and feed/water. ********* I use a Hudson 2L sprayer. My partner used to work in the film industry and they found this brand of sprayer gets the most thorough even coverage for makeup or whatever movie magic they use sprayers to create. It’s great. ********* The larger gorilla glue has come around but I lost a few nodes. I’m seeing a little PMD, but I’ve been knocking it back when baking soda and water. I’ve been taking scalps, defoliating the big one gently and the little ones need almost daily lollipopping. I’m watching my ph and using more cal mag. I definitely feel like they are two different phenotypes.I have them on individual diets. ********** Some fungal gnats come with the humidity so I topdressed with gnat nix. I don’t believe I overwater so I hope that’s the solution! I think I may wait another week or two and get things more stable before moving to flower. I will update video tomorrow when I have access to faster upload speeds. ********** Added videos!

Budding phase , Scorg angepasst Dünger erhöht - Blüte / 1-0-1 -0 immer um turn Verschiedene phenos , Duftet stark Super Kondition Kleiner Fehler beim defoiling Also im ganzen bis jetzt zufrieden , bin noch vorsichtig und ein Tag mal net und schwups ausversehen ein bis geköpft … Naja man lernt ja aus Fehlern

Nach dem Toppen zeigt die Pflanze nun erste Anzeichen der Vorblüte. Zwischen den Nodien sind kleine weiße Härchen sichtbar, und das Wachstum hat sich leicht in die Höhe verlagert. Das Laub ist tiefgrün, stabil und ohne Verfärbungen. 🌿 Pflege & Maßnahmen Weiterhin Orgatrex + Bactrex im Gießplan, um das Bodenleben stabil zu halten. Leichte Lichtanpassung zur optimalen Ausleuchtung der Seitentriebe. Luftfeuchtigkeit gesenkt auf ca. 50 – 55 %, um Schimmel vorzubeugen.

So start of the week is very good. Plant got some nice smell, but not very strong. Will start to give bigger amount of nutrients, and also will add calmag and maybe diamond nectar. Will see. Day 16 - 1L with nutrients. Day 18 - 1.5L water. Day 20 - 2L with nutrients. Peace.

I am loving how strong this sativa strain is. I keep defoliating her to expose as many bud sites as possible. At the same time, I am trimming those side branches with low chances of making it to the top. 🌱🌱👍🏻👍🏻

welcome to Day 36 22/1/21 and she is looking great nutes are still the same and I'm mostly happy with my autopot system. well that's all for this week so as always happy growing and keep you stick on the ice
