Got the Spider Farmer wicking system set up with a reservoir. Up until now I’ve been using purchased pure water since it came with a better starting pH than my tap. After running the numbers, the cost of hauling jugs didn’t make sense long term. I ended up grabbing an RV water inline filter for the garden hose, which strips out most of the chlorine and other contaminants I was worried about. Goal was mostly a stable water source because the girls are getting thirsty; I still prefer hand-watering to wet and activate the top dress. Access is only from one side of the 5×5, so as they bulk up I’m learning the back two are a chore to reach. The wicking pads help keep things even between rounds, but I’m still going in by hand to finish the job. Did a defoliation pass; airflow and light paths improved, but I may need to push it a bit further because I don’t want a lot of larf. Crazy how much plant material I pulled off but they seem fine. Light feels like the current yield limiter. The SF4000 is solid but a touch undersized for full 5×5 penetration, the lower canopy isn’t getting what I want. I’m eyeing a higher-wattage bar style light for better edge uniformity and deeper PAR at canopy. I’ve been testing edge light saturation with the SpiderF PPFD sensor at canopy height. Center readings are strong but the corners and long edges are clearly lacking. Smaller tent or smaller plants another option maybe. Im at 100% on my light and will be for the rest of the grow just raising it to keep distance. Plants look happy overall. The Durban Cookies is standing out, taller and more vigorous than the 10th Planets especially for being a week younger than the rest. I am guessing it will be harvested first just by stretch speed alone. The 10th Planets R1s all have a pretty even canopy going but showing stretch. Wicking system + hand-water combo is keeping the media right where I want it, and the top dress from last week is kicking in. Reminding everyone this is my first grow. Hoping for a pound dry, but I won’t be greedy. Keeping my expectations realistic! Thanks for following along.

Week 10/12 - 16/12 Huge drop of temperature this week.

Took some nice pictures with my microscope at the begin of this week from a underdeveloped budrot bud. So the other buds might have more and better thc on it. This is the end of the 6th week of flowering. Gave the plants only enzymen, because I don't know how long I can keep them going on flowering with this climate. Therefore I rather not feed them( there are still alot of nutrients in the soil), so they are not full of nutrients when I have to suddenly harvest them. As you can see, they take the nutrients out of the leafs as well, because they don't get nutrients from my watering. Might give them some Humic-Blast as well, in the new week. Will harvest them in 1 or 2 weeks depending on climate + growth of buds. The front plant buds didn't swell that much but the plant behind keeps flowering, not much but bit by bit. It's understandable because the day temperature is between 10-20 degrees fahrenheit and night temp is between 5-12 LOL

Ok this was my first grow and I made mistakes. -forgot to buffer coco - nutrient burn -started the manlining to early - probably worried to much about every stage these plants. -ended up with fungus gnats And probably appt more I can’t rmeber in the moment. But i learned so much from all of my mistakes and spent so much time researching and seeing in real time how these plants react and grow. I did do some experimentation just a normal top with one blue dream. I topped twice one another blue dream and did a 3 times topped on all the blue dreams and I see why you should at least top three times the eight main colas and spread out the plant I see some of the buds on the one I only topped once not matured at all because there was minimal light other buds were growing so fat it suffocated it basically. I could have probably defoliated and manliness better but ayy. Beginners wil make Mistakes and I’m happy with what came out of these girls. Not excited for trim hail but I am at the same time 😅😅

Very vigorous growth with these ladies very pleased with 207 genetics .

Freu mich wenn das stinken ein Ende hat... Habe inzwischen die ersten bernstein farbenden trichome entdeckt, denke das nächstes Wochenende die ernte ansteht 🤩

Both S.A.D. are now also in pre-flowering. They are now starting to grow strongly in height. Everything is growing as I had imagined :-)

Into the night

Its been a while but the ladies are still doing fine. After today its gonna be lights out. Ive stopped giving nutrients about 10 days ago.

Here we are. Week 2. On the Day 8 video, I give my method on how I produce nearly zero larf and huge buds. It's easier than most think 😉

25/01 Still having problems with the heat, I've build a exaust with 2 120mm computer fan, this week has arrived the humidity controller and I noticed that is to low for the temperature. Now I waiting for a mist maker to build a DIY humidifier(using a simple water spray for now) I belive this will be the solution to get a better VPD and control this fucking heat inside the tent 😎 30/01 The temperature is reaching more suitable levels, between 25-27°C. Even with the rainy days and higher humidity outside, the grow is stabilizing well at around 65% humidity.

Put some into bigger pots, 2 are autos for sure. Still no idea what the others are though from the leaves on two I think they may be lemon kush but I'm really not sure.

Smells very strongs and the big buds. I love grow this plant

2ft tall x 18" wide going into her first official week of flowering . Absolutely blown away by her growth up to this point. She bounces back from all LST/HST very well. Put up a new Time lapse. Day 43- No watering. Light defoliation and LST Day 44- Flush with Bush doctor Day 45-46- no water Day 47- Mammoth P/ Recharge/ Cal-Mag water @ 6.3ph and bloom khaos foliar feed @ 6.2ph Day 48-49 no watering

I mean this genetics it's excellent ... if I would grow zombie kush again ... good job ripper seed ... she fought and was very strong against the plagues after a beginning outdoors ... she fought against the white fly. worms .. red spider and other insects ... and deserves your recognition ... it will not be the most beautiful plant with its leaves impeccable ... but she is a champion ... thank you ripper seed .. .

This is the whole flowering cyclus posted in one week.

Day 61 she’s looking beautiful.
