Well I wasn't planning on doing a journal for this one but I figured because of the three leaves it might be cool to show people. I have only had this happen one time before and I was just starting out growing Micro managing and I killed it...lol...live and learn. A bit more experience now so fingers crossed.

Just giving them water waiting for them to fade out more

(Musik an) Week 15 – The Calm Before the Storm 😏 Nach neun Tagen Urlaub war ich ehrlich gesagt ziemlich gespannt. Ausgerechnet drei Tage vor meiner Rückkehr verabschiedete sich auch noch die Hobbit Cam. 😅 Keine Bilder mehr, keine Kontrolle – nur die Klimadaten und das Vertrauen in meinen Sohnemann. Als ich schließlich die Tür geöffnet habe, war mein erster Gedanke nur: “WTF… 😳😏” Die Laughing Buddha hat die Zeit genutzt. Nicht, um völlig außer Kontrolle zu wachsen, sondern um sich in aller Ruhe zu einem dichten, kräftigen SCROG zu entwickeln. Die Bewässerung hat hervorragend funktioniert, das Klima war stabil und die Pflanze sah nach dem Urlaub gesünder aus, als ich es mir erhofft hatte. Heute wurde der Grow auf die nächste Phase vorbereitet. Zuerst wurden die 81 Triebspitzen gleichmäßig über das Netz verteilt. Ja, ich habe tatsächlich nachgezählt… exakt 81 Spitzen. 🤣 Mein kleines Ziel „72 Tops für 720 Watt“ scheint tatsächlich Realität zu werden. Anschließend folgte der bisher größte Eingriff des gesamten Grows. Unterhalb des ersten Netzes wurde komplett gelollipoppt und die Pflanze zusätzlich stark ausgelichtet, damit Licht und vor allem Luft ungehindert durch das Blätterdach zirkulieren können. Von unten betrachtet sieht die Buddha inzwischen eher wie ein kleiner Baum aus – kräftige Hauptäste, saubere Verzweigungen und ein stabiles Gerüst, das später hoffentlich dutzende schwere Colas tragen wird. Nachdem alles ausgelichtet und neu verteilt war, habe ich die obere Erdschicht vorsichtig aufgelockert und nach Herstellerangabe Green House Feeding BioBloom eingearbeitet. Anschließend wurde mit BioEnhancer angegossen, damit die Bodenbiologie aktiviert wird und die organischen Nährstoffe in den nächsten Tagen in Ruhe arbeiten können. Jetzt bekommt die Buddha erst einmal ein kleines Wellnessprogramm. 🌿 Keine weiteren großen Eingriffe, nur Wasser, stabile Klimabedingungen und Zeit, sich vollständig von der Entlaubung zu erholen. Wenn alles weiterhin so läuft wie geplant, wird nächsten Donnerstag auf 12/12 umgestellt. Dann beginnt endlich die Blütephase. Ich bin unglaublich gespannt, wie sich die Laughing Buddha im Stretch verhält. Die Internodien sind bisher angenehm kurz geblieben, wodurch die Chancen auf lange, aber trotzdem schön kompakte Colas ziemlich gut aussehen. Sollte sie jetzt noch das zweite Netz sauber ausfüllen, könnte das genau die Blütenwand werden, die ich mir von Anfang an vorgestellt habe. Der Veg-Teil ist damit fast abgeschlossen… jetzt beginnt bald der wirklich spannende Teil. 😎🌿🚀

Day 14 flower, nice bushy plant dont need much attention she opens up nice

In week 4 the plants are repotted into 15 liter containers. First 2 cm of expanded clay-pebbles come into each pot for better drainage. Then I use light-mix to fill up the pot and add the BIO-TABs fertilizer tablets to the ground (2 per pot). 75 gram Startrex per container mixed into soil, 5 gram Mycotrex per container mixed into soil, 1 gram Bactrex and 5 ml Orgatrex per liter water are added as well (following the recommendations of Bio-Tabs). Each plant is potted in the center of the pot and then watered well. I put them into my HOMEBOX grow-tent and under my SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs. The lamps are at 75 cm distance from the top of the plants and tilted inwards by 11 degree (as recommended by SANlight for this area).

📆 Semana 7 Comienza junio y la planta muestra una clara aceleración del crecimiento tras adaptarse completamente al exterior. Los nuevos brotes avanzan con fuerza, aumenta la ramificación y la estructura gana volumen de forma constante. El sistema radicular sigue expandiéndose, elevando poco a poco la demanda de agua y nutrientes. El color se mantiene saludable y el vigor general continúa mejorando gracias a las largas horas de sol y las temperaturas favorables. ⚡ EC: 1.0 💧 pH: 6.2–6.5 🌡️ Agua: 20–22°C 🌫️ Humedad: 50–65% 💡 PPFD: luz solar exterior (~1200–2200 PPFD en horas centrales) 🌡️ Temp ambiente: 25–29°C 🔥 Nota: Junio marca el inicio de una fase de crecimiento muy activa. Si las condiciones acompañan, la planta aumentará rápidamente su tamaño y consumo de agua y alimento. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Wk5, Day29, 5/4/22, Lost top and 2 side branches on #2 from tie downs... Still has 6-8 cola sites, still early in stretch, should bounce back Wk5, Day 34, 5/9/22, Bud sites have formed, heavy defoliation and tie downs, auto watering hooked up Wk5, Day 35, 5/10/22, video posted

Somehow I counted weeks in a silly way, so I thought this was week 8 but it's still week 7. LoL. Plant is doing great anyway, She's big, exceeding 70 cm diameter, With so many colas at canopy level I expect her to yeld very big fo an Autoflowering strain, The training succesfully shaped her resulting in 10 branch reaching the top canopoy level. To me the key to a good training is timing, much more than continuous adjustment. This plant was bent just one time on main stem and one another time little later the branches. We had rainy days so I used a dehumidifier for a day or two, now it's dry again outside so no need for it anymore. She's still thirsty like a bitch as she drinks 5 liters of water every two day. Maybe I'll make a drip sistem for my next grow, watering has been boring lately. I'm not giving her anything to the end now, she's doing fine like this. The humus coupled with slow release fertilizer is doing a great job. She has some nitrogen excess to me, but she's the only plant to show it in a batch of 6. The issue seems very small to me anyway. Day 48 checked trichomes, some is turning milky already, can't wait for the buds to ripen :) Ciao Bottanico

From the 4 plants from this run this is the dankest. The smell and taste is just out of this world. It has such a complex terpene profile - fruit, sour, cheesy, sweet, earthy - I can't even describe it. Amazing! Only downside is that it grew to be a very very short plant, very squated, thus the yield was so low. Nonetheless definetely worth it!

Day 128... long journey behind...What can I say? Beautiful.... last time removed the injured leaves due to covering but now she is coming back. ;) Weather condition is still right compare to September in London but okay. I hope she will do all the way the flowering and nice smoke comes off.

Día 13 (06/05) Nos acercamos al final de la fase plántula. A ver si ahora empiezan a crecer de forma explosiva! He sido muy estricto con los riegos, dejando que el top hasta el nudillo se seque completamente! Día 14 (07/05) Hago una mejora en la tienda. Hasta ahora tenia intracción pasiva, pero ahora he instalado una turbina para que impulse aire fresco dentro de la tienda Día 15 (08/05) Con el calor que hace me sorprende que las macetas sigan aguantando la humedad, pero al hundir el nudillo sigue húmeda. Mañana haré un riego de nuevo Día 16 (09/05) Relleno el top con sustrato para compensar la compactación y dar mas soporte a las plantas Riego con 300 ml solo H20 - pH 6,2 Día 17 (10/05) Baño de sol de dos horas. Día 18 (11/05) Baño de sol de dos horas Día 19 (12/05) Riego 750 ml H2O + Regulator 0,15 ml/l + CaMg-Boost 0,25 ml/l + Startbooster 0,25 ml/l - pH 6.2 💦Nutrients by Aptus Holland - www.aptus-holland.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

Things are coming along OK this week. Maybe I spend too much time with them but it just didn't look like much was happening this week. I am dealing with a bit of leaf burn from the LED so I moved it up to 48" and the plants seem to be responding better now. It could be it was getting too much stress from the light intensity. Will see how the next week goes. I was hoping to hit it again with Ton-O-Bud but I'm not sure it will be a good idea now that I'm a little behind. I'd almost rather start the finishing nutes for the Indicas but will see how the plants look when that time comes.

The weather has been terrible, with lots of rain and extremely high humidity. That's why I decided to harvest. I will be able to provide more information about the flavor in a few weeks but the smell was sweet and fruity.

Day 9 for this girl and roots are touching the water, good growth so far and germinated in less than 24hrs. Pleased with this girl so far as she appears to be strong and stable from the start. Good sign. Can't wait to get her going. Its been a good week, nice healthy growth.. rather vigorous but im not complaining. Might let her go natural this run with no training but we will see. Stay tuned. FlavoursUK

Hiiigh friends 🙌 Welcome to week 8. 😍 Due to too much unwanted stress, flowering is delayed. The big lady was unable to withstand the training. Her neck is broken. But she is far from giving up and will fight to the end.. 😊 See you next week. 👋 Arturo for KannaKullektiv 🙏

So this lady giant just started the pre flowering strech, but she forgot she is already 6ft tall, WTF ! HAHAHA I went for a heavy lollipopping and defoliation on day 40 in hopes that she would stress and stop stretching since i do not have any more space for her, but as you can see next week, it did not work as planned.... haha stay tuned

these are 6 clones from the critical HUGE PHENO in the rdwc, i want to keep 1 clone as an motherplant with my autoflowers. april 11: all rooted / transplanted and show color and healthy growth. feed em around 400ppm

She's developing a thick fat sticky main cola, very beautiful strain, short distance between nodes, compact very dense flowrs, and very strange smell to me, had never ever tried something so citric like this. It's a very orange sweet juice smell, very pleasant, I can't wait to dry and cure a little this flowers to be able to feel the ultimate flavor and power from this genetic, stay tuned guys!! ❤️💚💛

Touching wood 😅 the girls are in good health and are growing well. The majority of the thrycoms are still transparent, some are milky white and very few are turning brown-reddish. Given that Royal Queen Seeds indicates a flowering period lasting between ten and eleven weeks I think to be in line. I slightly reduced the amount of water to plant #5 (the one with genetic mutation) because I noticed she drinks less than the others (soil is costantly wetter than the others)
