Hey Guys! Super excited this week! I've really been wanting to try growing outdoors, so I built a cheap hoop house! Got most of this stuff for the frame from Lowes under 300$. All the soil products I got from GrowGreenMI. Some really cool people out there. One thing I'm super worried about is drainage. Right now those holes are about 4 feet deep and they've got about 4 inches of water in them already. What's been cautioned is that, eventually, about 2 months in these plants roots will grow and reach the bottom and cause root rot to form. One of the biggest things I was trying to be wary of was causing root rot. This was also the biggest precautionary measure I took when mixing the soil. Adding the extra perlite, coco, and clay pebbles. Best advice right now is to build the soil up on the holes another 16 to 18 inches and possible stick a PVC pipe down to the lowest drainage point of the hole to allow some of that natural occurring water to evaporate. Any advice anyone has on it is welcomed! Making a compost tea for the soil outdoors, will probably put 2 cups in each RDWC bucket as well and let that do it's magic for a day or so before nutrient change. Raised the bed about 14 inches as well! All the seeds sank! Off to a good start! Lol

One branch got broken after I came back to the room, I wrapped it in rolling papers and scotch, it was not fully broken , looks like started healing. Any advice would be appreciated . Waiting for my lamp for flower. It will be 300+ 450 W leds, I hope it will suffice.

Last week only lots of tap water for my Mexican Ladies. Her leaves got a bit yellow but that was expected and planned. Today was the day to thank them for their service and I cut them both down to drie, with all leaves included except for the fan leaves. Can't wait to see and test the results! She is not a heavy packer, in weight it won't be a lot but I am aiming for Quality > Quantity 😏

Alright so last week is here, finally... After smelling this girl you literally want to bite the plant and eat it 🤗🍭🍬, this thing smells like candy and all kind of sweet fruit loops and things, its a world of happiness and unicorns in a plant! Basically she didn't get that big but this was expected as the plant only gets some hours of direct sunlight, maybe 6 or 7 + we had several weeks of rain and now we have an heatwave (this fuc*ing weather is amazing) the good news is that the worms learned their lesson and didn't appear again (they know this hood is mine now!) For the rest, cant wait to harvest and start another grow, as mentioned in my previous balcony grow i would like to put around 6 or something like that, even if i get only 10-15g per plant its still worth it, sunlight is free and its just a little balcony, they dont disturb nobody there

Our Watermelon Candy Automatic #1 from Zamnesia Seeds is ready, and we're excited to show it to you. This plant has always performed well, a true powerhouse of nature as it grows, especially as it swells with high-quality central and lateral flowers. Ripeness - The resin content is excellent. The trichomes are mostly white and milky (about 60%), with some clear (20%), and some amber (20%). Some beautiful red-headed trichomes are quite common. The pistils are almost all red (about 80%). Remember, the plant should be harvested according to your taste. Since this is a 50/50 plant, I want to maintain the sativa/day-use characteristics and not turn it into an indica bomb by over-ripening the amber colors. (Amber is a sign of THC oxidation.) The overall shape of the plant is truly splendid. Techniques chosen: As mentioned, we only performed pruning, lollipopping, and defoliation here. Basically, we simply cleaned the bottom parts, which, as mentioned, helps us achieve better results at the top. We're 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we chose is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to start with smoother and more reliable watering, without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week's worth of soil is enough, so don't overdo it. Choose your preferred style and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Visit the new Growshop area on the Zamnesia website: Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop A fantastic strain, not too tall but very bushy! Give it a try! Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/7484-zamnesia-watermelon-candy-automatic-semi-seeds.html Z - This feminized strain boasts everything you've come to know and love about the original cultivar, but with some welcome improvements. Combining Watermelon x Candy Kush with a pinch of ruderalis genetics results in a strain you won't want to miss, we promise. Being an autoflowering strain, the growing options are virtually endless. So, whether you choose to grow her indoors or outdoors, one thing is certain: she'll be extremely easy to grow. Otherwise, she'll take care of herself without requiring any special care. With a little general care and pruning, you can control her growth all the way to harvest. She's perfect for beginners growing indoors, as well as more experienced growers looking for easy-to-grow, high-yielding plants. Although she's not a particularly tall plant, her size can be easily controlled with LST, to which she responds positively. So, if you're interested in experimenting with this technique, don't be afraid to try Watermelon Candy Auto. In just 9-10 weeks from seed to harvest, this strain grows rapidly and, just like the original, will display a bushy canopy completely covered in large buds. Regardless of your growing environment, you can expect impressive yields. Indoor plants produce 350-400 g/m², while plants left to flower outdoors produce 50-100 g/plant. These are quite substantial yields for an autoflowering strain. With a THC level of 20%, Watermelon Candy Auto is a 50/50 sativa/indica hybrid, offering users the best of both worlds. After a few tokes, you'll feel more optimistic, and even the most stoic smokers won't be able to suppress a smile. After a few minutes, a deep sense of relaxation will take over, perfect for welcoming you home after a long day. Overall, Watermelon Candy Auto builds on the qualities that made the original so popular, but it also has other qualities that make it a much simpler and more practical option. You know it, but I recommend it. You'll find so much beauty here, essentially "the best nature has to offer." Z - www.zamnesia.com Music // www.radionula.com + Feng Shui Music + Frequency 432Hz

As always it's just a pleasure to grow this sativa dominant strain which definitely reminds me of a great indica with her extremely fruity and tropical sweet terpenes, very happy to have her in my garden and to be able to smoke such a high quality strain once again, hope you guys have enjoyed as much as me!

Finished week 2 of flower. I have been inspecting every single leaf for PM and have found a few spots, but quickly spot treated with solution. I have learned that PM is a SYSTEMIC disease and the spots on leaves are a symptom of an already infected plant. So the best thing I can do is keep the symptoms in check by spot spraying and its working! Only a few burned leaves as a result, but nothing like my first grow where it was widespread! Defoliated to thin out a bit and allow for better airflow. Light LST to a few of the taller stems to maintain an even canopy. Overall, I am happy with the way my 2nd indoor grow is progressing.

Fun fact : my TDS meter broke down. I was running an EC of 4.3, needless to say the plant went into super lockout. I lost a lot of leaves and am trying to get it on the right path again. I had enough foliage to survive it fortunately trichomes are still quite empty, most likely it will need another 2 weeks to mature UPDATE: Day 67 the plant seems to have finally stabilized again, EC and PH stopped swinging around like crazy

Quarta e ultima semana de Vega assim eu espero, quanto a nutrientes vou continuar com os mesmos, planejo mudar apenas na floração. Iniciei meu treinamento LST com arame e auxílio de palitos para afastar as folhas leque e dar espaço e luz para as gemas. No meio da quarta semana ela entrou na flora Nós vídeos a girl scout Cookies é a planta do fundo

This Blue Dream’Matic from 420 Fast Buds is on the same timeline as my Purple Lemonade Auto. We’re entering week 10 from seed. I haven’t topped this one unlike the Purple Lemonade . Been a pleasure to grow. The smells are amazing, trichome production has been great , and the buds have been getting pretty thick! Definitely one of the stickiest plants I’ve handled. No complaints with this strain. I’ll post a harvest post next week or so once they get chopped down. Thanks for the progress follow! 🤘🏼

Still happy and doing well. Maybe a little slow since I was getting the living soil watering differences figured out. Water only living soil for now ph at 6.3-6.6

The main purpose of chlorophyll is to capture photons of energy. When growth is no longer a priority for a plant in nature, it will naturally sink its "no longer needed" nitrogen and switch pigments to carotene and anthocyanin, which are better-suited pigments for environmental protection rather than capturing photons (growth). This is because of all nutrients used by a plant, nitrogen in its nitrate form is highly stable and required for the rigours of electron capture, ammoniacal nitrogen readily evaporates into the air during cure/dry. The ripening stage is no longer about growth, but the main priority is protecting trichomes and opening up the oxidative capacity of the plant so it can focus 100% of filling those trichomes. Nitrogen in its elemental nitrate form is no longer required during ripening to the same degree as it was; the vast majority of growth is over. Understanding when to shift a plant's focus from rapid growth to maturation is the key to maximizing the trichome quality and terpene profile of the final product. That is the single most important decision you will make during a grow in terms of dictating smoothness, taste, and smell, I have found from my limited years of dedicated and driven study into the matter. Synthetic nutrients maintain a near full nitrate ratio comparable to ammoniacal nitrogen, whereas organic nutrients maintain a supply of ammoniacal and convert only to nitrate what is needed. This is far more beneficial for organic growers when it comes to smoke smoothness, as the higher levels of ammoniacal nitrogen are far easier to dispose/convert than nitrates come harvest, cure/dry with far more efficient margins held within leaf/bud when it comes to conversion to aminos. A good dry and cure can go a long way to a quality smooth smoke, but without a proper senescence sequence or triggered autophagic sink of nitrogen, then you will be asking far more than can be expected from a dry/cure. It's one thing to sink the last 5-10% and convert the last drips to amino acids during the dry and cure, but leaving the plant fully charged with nitrogen in the form of nitrate is simply not going to taste good, no matter how much smoke you blow up your own ass or how long you have been growing. Means nothing. Smoke quality relies on pre-harvest physiology, not just the dry and cure! The dry and cure cannot fix poor pre-harvest metabolic states. A high-quality, smooth smoke requires correct signalling before harvest. While a proper dry and cure can gently soften the edges and convert the last 5-10% of sugars into amino acids, it fundamentally cannot perform magic on a fully fertilised plant. You cannot oxidise stable nitrates (+5 charge) into a smoother state during drying. Ultimately, accept it's going to be a heavy smoke and be grateful, onwards upwards! The way in which ammoniacal nitrogen reacts to carbon sugars is critical in how it acts during oxidation and is responsible for oxidizing leftover sugars that can make the buds smoke harshly. Limited ammoniacal equals limited oxidation of excess carbons held within tissues. Just so you know, it's not an anecdotal rule that's unresolved and unsubstantiated. It's called the Maillard reaction. Signal triggers and stressors. Normally, you can only use 10-30% ammoniacal nitrogen, but as harvest closes, it is beneficial to increase this ratio 50% of ammoniacal as it assists in steering the plant towards maturation. Rather than running 50% ammoniacal nitrogen continuously until harvest, use it in short, targeted flushes/additions (e.g., 7 days) to slow internode elongation and hasten maturity. Use alongside forced larger "dry backs" (allowing the root zone to dry out significantly between watering events). Raising the Electrical Conductivity EC of the medium to create mild osmotic stress. Widening the day-to-night temperature difference and increasing the vapour pressure deficit VPD. How would you like your cola's sir? Arm length, please, no gaps with trichomes as thick as snow.

Diesmal habe ich mich dazu entschieden nur die Sonnensegel rauszuschneiden und die Zuckerblätter zum trocken an der Pflanze zu lassen. Vom ersten Eindruck her, ist der grow sehr gut verlaufen. Die Bude sind Fett und mit Trichomen überzogen.. Freue mich schon aufs Trimjail. Nach 14 Tagen Trocknen habe ich mich an den Feinschnitt gewagt. Von den zwei Pflanzen konnte ich 155g feste dicke Buds und 110g Trim ernten. Die Buds sind zum curen in einen Cvault mit einem Boveda Pack (67g 58%) gekommen.

weeks 7 and 8 the sweet aromas came through more and more. These Northern Lights are a great choice for a stealth grow. These two cultivars had some difference in morphology. Cultivar #1 grew a lot taller and faster than cultivar #2. #1 Stretched quite a bit more than #2, and her flower sites were much closer together. She was also more sensitive to watering, feedings, Light. and change in environment. Cultivar #2 grew much more short and compact, she pretty much trained herself in veg. In flower she had denser nugs and more internodal spacing. #2 was defintley the hardier culitvar and was a breeze to grow.
