2/26 Week 9 /3 flower Still looking for their nuet levels. Reducing CT Bloom by 25% just learning the DTW system and how these strains act. Still white tips, run off at 650 ppm so not sure whats the deal yet. Upping PK to 5ml/gal Lights doing well, should have done this long ago 2/27 The very first signs of a mag def began so keeping the feed at 4ml/gal and wait to see what develops. Basically the same thing that happened when I did this in veg. Till I hear back from Fast Buds or someone has a suggestion just going to sit on it and keep em healthy. PK to 5ml/gal Switching to HPS light in the HID tomorrow as the stretch seems to have ended. Update: Fast Buds got back so quickly, thanks. Going to let the white tips go and watch other factors for feeding. The tips were always my marker for nitrogen so will watch color and curl from here on. Going up to 5ml/gal on the bloom nuets at the morning feeding. Use that as a base line from here on Thanks @HighRoller909 You are on the same wavelength as Fast Buds 👍 2/28 Looking well All nuets at 5ml/gal In PPM 750 - Out PPM 800 - Not surprising given the increase HPS installed - light defoliation of canopy Smells and buds - Buds will be greenish primarily with a predominate berry/fruity smell you only get during defoliation at this point. Yall want to start a pool on what these may be? 😏 Change of view: Looking back if I had to be honest I would flip week 7 from flower to veg. I really dont think it took till maybe the last day or two of the week. Slightly important as we are looking closely at finishing time on these strains. Going to keep a day count of flower from here and this will be ... 2/28 Day 10 of flower 2/29 Day 11 Adjusted nuets slightly increased to 800ppm by increasing CocoTek and decreasing slightly the PK. Increased runoff to 25% for a mini-flush 3/2 Day 13 Flower Flipped week 7 to veg, just reflects reality a bit better. Leaving things as is for now, pics when I can I smell Creme-Cookies , odor hit 3/3 Day 14 of flower Ending week , nothing visual has really changed so no pics till later. The feeding schedule seems to be doing everything I could want but will continue to up it slightly tomorrow. Eliminating the silicon, done what its going to do as the stretch has ended completely and plenty in the pot. Putting them under the MH until it slowed down worked. Light defol today just getting leaves off buds. Defoliating all the unproductive branches (loofy buds nothing firm) tomorrow to get that energy where it needs to go. Ok so its some kind of cookies but sweeter than I am used to so sticking with Cookies and Cream for my guess on FF7 FF5 is still puzzling, sweet fuel is all I can peg. And another week in the books 😜

The High intensity was to strong (clearly my fault) in the beginning which stunted her overall stretch, she however still delivered super dense, terpene and trichome loaded buds.

Day 34. I know its few days of previous week, just didnt wanted to mess with week type. Its BIG week . New light was added and rhythm changed to 12/12. Pot was top uped with 3 handfulls of BioBizz Worm Castings. 1.5 g of Biosys and 1.5 g of Great White were added too. After training she got 2.2l of water, medium drinker at the momennt. Girl got small defoliation, when you bent main top, one fan leaf is always staying in everyone's way, so he had to go. Think to do big clearing on day 14-18 of flower. Got first wave of LST, main top was lowered, one side shoot was repositioned and secured too... Girl is nice, more compact than other AMS strain i am running now, but i dont stress, its more experiment too. Think they miss good air, shoots a bit lanky to my like, will need support, so maybe i will scrog all.... TS1000 by Mars Hydro, great light, did perfect job during veg period, now i added one more for better coverage of long tent. Think in tent 1x1m i could manage to flower all 3 without any ad ons .... Great small light for amazing price. Day 36. 3 liters of higher ph 6.5 , run off was 495 ppm, 6.3 ph, so all is good !!! Day 40. Girl got heavy training, 5-10 leaves were taken down, most shoots secured with wires. 2.5 liters of 6.3 water went in. Happy Growing !!!

Finaler Grow-Report – Lemon Cherry Gelato Mein erster legaler Grow mit Lemon Cherry Gelato von Barney’s Farm ist fast abgeschlossen – das Curing läuft noch, aber es ist Zeit für ein Fazit zum Anbau! Setup & Bedingungen: Ich habe in einer Spider Farmer 90x90x180 cm Growbox unter der Spider Farmer SF-G3000 (300W LED) angebaut. Als Medium kam BioBizz Light-Mix zum Einsatz, gedüngt wurde mineralisch mit Advanced Nutrients (Grow, Bloom, Micro). Um das volle Potenzial der Pflanzen auszuschöpfen, setzte ich auf Low-Stress-Training (LST) und ein ScrOG-Netz zur optimalen Lichtverteilung. Keimung & Wachstum: Die Keimung verlief problemlos – 4 von 5 Samen sind innerhalb von zwei Tagen aufgegangen. Während der Vegetationsphase entwickelten sich die Pflanzen kräftig und reagierten gut auf das Training. Die ScrOG-Methode half, ein gleichmäßiges Wachstum und eine bessere Lichtnutzung zu erzielen. Blüte & Ernte: Nach etwa 6 Wochen Vegetation leitete ich die Blütephase ein. Die Pflanzen zeigten eine starke Harzproduktion und eine beeindruckende Farbgebung mit einer Mischung aus dunklen Grüntönen, lila Highlights und frostigen Trichomen. Das Aroma war von Anfang an fruchtig und zitronig, mit phänotypischen Unterschieden in der Intensität. Die Ernte fiel mit 300-350 g trockenen Blüten sehr zufriedenstellend aus – für meinen ersten legalen Grow ein starkes Ergebnis. Curing (still in run ): Aktuell lagern die Blüten in 24 Mason Jars (16oz) und einem 2L-CVault, um das Aroma weiter zu entwickeln. Derzeit dominiert eine zitronige Note, während die erhofften Kirsch-Terpene langsam stärker hervortreten. Mein Ziel ist es, die Haze-Noten möglichst gering zu halten und das volle fruchtige Profil herauszuarbeiten – der Prozess ist also noch nicht abgeschlossen. Fazit: Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Grow – die Kombination aus hochwertiger Genetik, gutem Training und präziser Nährstoffversorgung hat sich definitiv ausgezahlt. Die Buds sind harzig, aromatisch und vielversprechend, und ich bin gespannt, wie sich das Curing weiterentwickelt. Der nächste Schritt ist, das perfekte Terpenprofil zu treffen – und das Curing geduldig zu optimieren.

I went on business trip for 5 days. Neighbor watered the plants. Must dehumidify better as I had 85% max. at 24°C. NYC Sour D #1: Has developed quite well. Many small branches. A few stunted leaves. But she is growing ok. #2: Still one of the problem child. Small growth, some slightly deformed and discolored leaves. Wait and see how it develops. Royal Cookies Auto #1: Best development in the last 5 days. Many small new branches. Largest plant, no signs of light stress. Let's see if I will water more yet. #2: I am also very satisfied with the development. Slightly smaller than #1, but completely ok. Royal Haze Auto #1: Also a problem child. The main stem has not developed any new leaves. Thus, I topped her, so that the secondary stems would develop accordingly. The leaves don't look too good. I'll let her grow and decide before flowering whether to remove her. #2: Actually quite good so far. Growing a bit stunted, but so far okay. Light settings 45% dimmer at 45 cm distance Between 450 and 615 ppfd. Seems to work well as they are not growing too fast and have no signs of light stress.

144v Lux in tenebris lucet. Aristotle said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Those who are able to refrain from judgement long enough to genuinely research and weigh the evidence from all sides of a given subject are those most likely to arrive at the truth. Those who instantly resort to knee-jerk ridicule and continue to believe whatever they were first taught are those most easily deceived. Very high light intensity can slow vertical growth. She just doesn't want to grow vertically any longer; once the flower is initiated, that goes right out the window. Apical dominance is shattered; you now have every single stem fighting for survival against each other, with none given particular precedence over another. That is some stretch for a week, explosion. Doesn't matter if they are crowded now; there is space up ahead, and plant perception will fill every inch of available space. The divine intelligence that drives plant growth is far more efficient than any canopy I could make or spread myself. No defoliation. Sometimes you just need to give her what she needs to fill the space herself. All I do is guide the initial framework into the desired outcome, keep everything else flowing and in optimal parameters. Fast-growing leaves to have a lighter green color, sometimes appearing almost yellowish-green, because they haven't had time to produce much chlorophyll yet. New leaves are soft and pale, but they will gradually darken and become a deeper green as they mature and are exposed to light. Every morning, new lime green, with the micros supercharged, may be immobilizing nitrogen in the medium, magnesium was creeping in earlier, so I'll try to hold the line and see what progresses. The ratio of sugar leaves to buds is determined by a combination of hormonal signaling, nutrient availability, and genetics. Sugar levels act as a key signaling molecule, with high sugar availability influencing hormones like auxins and cytokinins to promote bud outgrowth, while nutrient deficiencies can limit development. Specific genes also play a critical role in leaf and bud initiation, expansion, and the overall balance of growth. Buds are like balloons! Need lots of pressure to blow up lots of balloons! Sugar balloons! Plant transpiration and turgor pressure are crucial for bud development because turgor pressure provides the cell expansion needed for growth, while transpiration creates a "pull" that draws water and nutrients up through the plant to fuel this process. High turgor pressure is essential for cells to grow and expand, allowing buds to open and young leaves to unfurl. Transpiration maintains this necessary turgor by driving a continuous flow of water from the soil up to the leaves, where it evaporates. No holding back, this is it, 4-5 weeks of all-out war! What we develop now will be all we have for the final 4-5 weeks. The carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio indicates how much carbon is in a substance relative to its nitrogen, affecting nitrogen availability in soil through microbial activity. A high C:N ratio (like in straw or corn residue) requires soil microbes to use a significant amount of nitrogen for decomposition, temporarily tying it up and making it unavailable to plants. A low C:N ratio results in a more rapid release of nitrogen for plant use. The carbon-to-sulfur C:S ratio in plant residue determines whether soil microbes will immobilize or mineralize sulfur (S) during decomposition. This affects the availability of sulfate SO42, the primary form of S that plants can absorb. Mineralization is the process by which microbes decompose organic matter and release excess nutrients, like sulfate, into the soil in an inorganic, plant-available form. Immobilization is the reverse process, where microbes absorb inorganic sulfate from the soil to meet their own nutritional needs, making it unavailable to plants. Glucose typically uses more oxygen than sucrose in a medium because it can be metabolized more directly, while sucrose must first be broken down into glucose and fructose, which can involve additional energy costs and a slower overall process. However, the efficiency of oxygen use can vary depending on the specific organism and conditions, as some bacteria, for instance, can use sucrose for a growth advantage under certain circumstances by producing exopolysaccharides that are more efficient at oxygen extrusion. Why glucose is generally more oxygen-efficient: •Glucose is a monosaccharide and can be used directly by many organisms in cellular respiration. •It does not require an initial enzymatic step to break it down before entering the metabolic pathway, unlike sucrose. •Due to its direct use, glucose can lead to a faster rate of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in comparison to sucrose under typical aerobic conditions. Why sucrose might seem to use more oxygen in certain contexts: •When sucrose is metabolized, it is first broken down into glucose and fructose. This initial hydrolysis is an extra step that requires enzymes. •The fructose component is metabolized differently from glucose, and its specific metabolic pathway can affect the overall oxygen demand. •Some organisms may have regulatory mechanisms that lead to a higher initial oxygen demand when switching from glucose to sucrose, especially if the organisms have specific metabolic pathways that are optimized for sucrose. •While glucose may be used faster, sucrose might provide a growth advantage under certain oxygen-limited conditions due to the specific metabolic pathways and products it can generate. Seems my initial concept of sucrose was inaccurate. Really need to study up on all of this in the coming months. Take care. 9 To get the closest possible NPK ratio of 1-3-2 in 5 gallons of water: Add 2 tsp of the 7-4-5 Grow fertilizer Add 3 tsp of the 3-12-12 Bloom fertilizer Calcium can interact negatively with phosphorus and sulfur, add your Cal-Mag supplement to the water first if needed.

The stretching phase for all 3 of these girls seems to have finished now and they look to be going full steam ahead into bud production Carried out a good bit of defoliation over the last week to help expose more of the lower bud sites while also still continuing to rotate the pots to help spread the light coverage. The smell is increasingly turning sweeter as these buds develop more and more. 🍭 All on track so far 🤞🏻 ✌️

Vamos actualizar la novena semana de floración de estas Biscotti de RoyalQueenSeeds. Un SOG que acabará con buen pie, se marcan un color increíble y las flores van madurando poco a poco , así que a estar atentos. La humedad es perfecta, la temperatura la e podido corregir y ya la tenemos 22 grados. Primera semana solo con agua. Estoy controlando el ph está alrededor de 6- 6,5. Normalmente riego cada 48 horas y más o menos cada planta está tragando 0.8 litro de agua en cada riego. Vamos viendo cómo progresan estas últimas semanas. Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo. Buenos humos 💨💨

I'm very happy about how the buds have developed in this 2nd week of flower! The girls stretched a lot this week, about 15cm. The bud sites are a bit too close to each other, but I can't do much about it now, I will have to put up to the extra work when harvesting. They get fed 6 times a day and they drink a looot, about 2,8l per day 😮 I'm doing a flush today, the first one, to get the roots rinsed out of any accumulated salts.
