All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. 84/14 Fun with Filters VPD was controlled at reduced temps and RH today - RH now set to 55% max and Temps are 75F at max Over night allowed down to 67F when lights go out. Lights were good and same as yesterday with some light LST PPFD at 750 down to 550. I used 20 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR with 15 before and after main lights on/off. She's now about 25" tall and 35" wide. Also took some black back and shadow pics for fun (no filters or sharpen only) Day 85/15 Feed Day I gave 2 gallons of de-chlorinated tap combined with 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix total 600ppm and a ph of 6.4. Foliar sprayed some on the outer leaves and left the tent door open to help dry them. (took like 15 minutes with the fans.) top soil ph checked at 6.22ph and run off was at 5.74 with 1580ppm Lights at a range of 750 to 500 Ran 25 minutes of UV and the standard 1hr IR with 15/15 before and after lights on/off and 30/30 at that time. VPD was easy to manage with the doors open and then the fan seemed to have to work more today but just more often and not high fan. Day 86/16 Humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. Tips carried a little burn on them today, some all over which makes me think nute burn because ppfd was 550 to 750 as it has been for a few days now and there are tips on leaves with little direct light showing burn as well. Will continue to monitor as well. IR and UV are set on timers and I screwed up with mine today. I was supposed to change the setting and forgot (time change screwed me up and I thought I did it when I changed timers that needed correction) until it was too late and ended up giving her 30 minutes of IR and 1 hour of UV... will have to check/monitor for effects tomorrow. The good news is that she's had a little over two weeks with UV so maybe not so bad. (fingers crossed it doesnt stress her too much) Day 87/17 Again, humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two de-humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. If I open the tent for a while I can get the humidity down by about another 5% so tomorrow I plan to leave it open after I feed again. Took some light burn from yesterday's extended UV exposure, but read that it's not bad to take on some stress from UV in flower, especially if you still have time to recover. The pros suggest that you can stress her to grow defensive systems that may create thicker/stickier leaves and flowers with more terpene production. The cons however suggest that it could stress too much and stunt the growth or in extreme/sudden cases, cause her to herm. (thus why they say in mid flower is best if you plan to stress with UV) So it is what it is. I will monitor the leaves that took damage and likely remove them this week when I defoliate schwazz style. I still resumed the schedule of increasing UV as planned but ahead a few days now so 45minutes of UV and 1 hr IR with 15/15 before and after main lights on/off. Day 88/18 Lots happening today. Firstly, I found a split today... on the main stem trunk, so I used superglue to seal the cracks and held together while it set. Then I wrapped it with heavy duty gorilla tape, two 1ft pieces as both a clamp and a support on the other side. I then tied each cola to the inner ring. So then I decided that since I am here having to work on this I may as well go ahead and do the defoliation I was planning for tomorrow. Schwazze style defoliation (at least my interpretation of the method without having to buy the book, super defoliate week 1 and 3 of flower - so almost) Then after that I also preformed heavy strength training - I broke each cola right under the bud sites that I left and bent her outward. I then upped the lights ever so slightly and have a max of 850 ppfd and low of 650 ppfd now. She had 45 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR same routine, IR on/off at main light schedule with 15 before and after main lights. VPD is better now that I placed another open air vent at the bottom, this one is 6 inch. I also placed the fans a little better to blow directly on the leaves left behind. Low speed for now, but as the leaves come back I plan to increase to get dancing leaves in the middle too. Temps were 74F and RH 55% with the ILV set to auto. I plan to feed 2 gallons of 650ppm 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix. Since my last ph was really low I am going to increase the feed to 7.0ph - not sure what if anything I can do about ppm. Day 89/19 VPD was normal with the exception of holding the tent open as I said I was going to today. Temps at 74F and RH mostly 55% with the ILV set to auto. PPFD also checking in with the same settings/results today, 880 to about 650 ppfd. UV was set for 45 minutes midday, and IR with the same 1 hr with 15 minutes before and after main light on/off. Water feed today with about 2.25 gallons of 7.0 ph de-chlorinated tap diluted with 25:75 ratio of veg/bloom mix (690 ppm total) watered until drip started and I got about .25 gallon runoff. Runoff measured 5.75 ph and 1630 ppm (top soil tested 4x with avg of 6.35) Next feed will be a plain water salt flush. Plant looked so nice a day today that I decided to take some more black back pics. Day 90/20 VPD and PPDF were fine today with normal settings of 74F/55%RH/Auto ILV - PPFD ranged from 550 to 750 because of HST on the limbs. This will be the last stress I give her and hope it wasnt too much. Hoping this all results in a big yield and not a herm.

The first white pistils can clearly be seen now. I guess that's why she's getting more yellow leaves at the base but this also means that she is in the preflowering phase :) Due to this and the fact that the weather is great, she needs more water now. Aside from that she is starting to smell a bit more in the morning.

Original Sensible seeds Girl Scout cookies 5 weeks of Flowering Completed 8th March 2020 This Lovely Smelling lady is really starting to add some bulk to her flowers 💪 She still has about 5 more weeks to go so I'm hoping for Good things from her. Ive been needing to feed her a bit more often as she seems to be taking everything I give her and wants more. So as a supplement to what is already in the super soil Ive been adding Lots of Compost and Worm casting teas plus Liquid potassium @ 1ml/ L Checked soil Ph and temp and was 6.3 and 23 c check out the video update 👊 That's it for this weeks update Thanks for stoppping by 👍

Schönen Sonntag euch 💚 🌿 Wochenupdate Die Woche ist etwas Ruhe eingekehrt =) Alles läuft wieder stabil. Seitdem ich pH+ hinzugezogen habe, ist der Drift wieder voll im Rahmen, und die Damen entwickeln sich zum Glück allesamt weiter. Da es aktuell nicht so viel aus dem Run selbst zu berichten gibt, wollte ich einfach ein paar Dinge teilen, die ich in Zukunft zumindest mit meinem Aufbau anders machen werde =) Fangen wir mit dem 4×4-Cross an 🌿 Auf jeden Fall eine super spannende Geschichte. Es ist wirklich interessant zu beobachten, wie die verschiedenen Genetiken auf das gleiche Environment reagieren und sich zueinander entwickeln 😊 Und sind wir ehrlich, wer hat nicht gerne ein bisschen Auswahl =D Allerdings finde ich, es braucht sehr viel Zeit und Fingerspitzengefühl, einen EC-Bereich zu finden, in dem sich alle gleichzeitig gleich wohl fühlen. Und das, obwohl ich darauf geachtet habe, dass alle von ihrer Entwicklungszeit und dem bekannten EC-Bedarf nicht zu weit auseinanderliegen. Für Single-Reservoirs eher suboptimal, finde ich zumindest 😊 Hier werde ich in Zukunft eher zu 2×2-Cross tendieren und schauen, wie sich das verhält. Der hohe EC hat sich auch echt gut getragen, bis ich ins frühe Bulking geswitcht bin 🔥 Ab da hat mir dann mein weiches Wasser feinstens einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht =D Die Kette verlief etwa so, dass insbesondere Notorious mit dem EC deutlich zu kämpfen hatte. Daraufhin habe ich die Lösung – wie immer – berechnet entspannt angepasst. Als ich den Eindruck hatte, dass sie wieder deutlich besser dasteht, habe ich bemerkt, dass ich durch das Verdünnen der Lösung 💧 und meinem weichem Wasser in einen schleichenden pH-Drift gerutscht bin.. Zu der Zeit hat es leider etwas gedauert, pH+ zu beschaffen. Jop auch son Ding hätte man ja vorher wissen können :D :D Letztendlich standen sie Dadurch nach dem Entspannen der Lösung phasenweise in ziemlich niedrigem pH , was wiederum für verlangsamte Aufnahme bzw. teilweise vielleicht auch schon für Lockouts gesorgt hat. Beim nächsten Run wird der EC wieder defensiver gefahren und vor allem mein Wasser direkt von Beginn an gepuffert 💧😊 Sonst bin ich wirklich happy, wie es bis hier lief – es sieht schon wieder alles besser aus =D 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Blueberry Cupcake ist nach wie vor absoluter Performer 🔥Ich glaube, hier hätte man sogar noch mehr pushen können =D Selbst unter den stressigen Bedingungen läuft sie wirklich erstaunlich stabil. Sie hat schön gefrostete Blüten und der Blaubeer-Geruch hat sich etwas gesetzt. Riecht mega lecker – freue mich schon auf den Test 😊 Purpz hat leider doch mehr reagiert, als ich es gehofft habe.. Ich glaube, das war hier am Ende einfach zu viel auf einmal. Sie hängt immer noch etwas nach, und ich habe allgemein den Eindruck sie ist momentan eher entspannt unterwegs 🌱 Ihre Buds gefallen mir trotzdem echt gut – bin gespannt, was hier im Finish noch kommt 😊 Riecht mittlerweile sehr fruchtig. Notorious hat ihre Pause beendet =D Sie legt langsam wieder los.. Allerdings war es hier sichtbar zu viel – erst der hohe EC, dann die pH-Thematik, all on me 🤷‍♂️😅 Ich bin froh, dass sie überhaupt noch weitermacht 💚 und nicht alles mit Nanners verpestet. Dass sie trotzdem langsam, aber sichtbar wieder zurückfindet, fasziniert mich ✨ Bis auf die geschädigten Blätter, die nach und nach abwelken, steht sie aktuell wieder solide da. Guzzlerz macht wie BBCC einen guten Eindruck 😄 Ich hatte eine Nachtphase mit temp-bedingtem VPD-Peak, da hat sie kurz die Blätter hängen lassen 🍃 Sonst gibt es nur Gutes zu berichten =) Schöne Frostbildung nach wie vor, Stacking ist im vollen Gange. Man erkennt es auf den Bildern leider nicht gut, aber ich finde, sie schimmert leicht bläulich 😊 ⚙️ System Jetzt wieder Top-up-Logik weiterfahren 🔄 VPD: 1,20 kPa CO₂: 700–800 ppm EC: 1.500–1.600 µS/cm PPFD: 1.000 µmol/m²/s Vielen Dank mal wieder fürs Lesen 😊🙏 Ich wünsche euch eine schöne Woche 💚 und fette Buds 🔥😄

Alrighty growmies 👌🏻 so I’ve had a bit of a week set back due to issues, but back on track, the heat wave has definitely given a few girls a bit of a hard time not being able to attend but none the less, lifted the light again, trying to get on top of this PH fluctuating I’m having again using these stupid PH drops as my PH pen also keep jumping. Besides that I’ve managed to make a new home for the clones and got them under a couple UFO LEDs so that will house them for a few more weeks and al bring out the 600w HPS for them, but these runtz since being repotted have not taking nicely to it at all even using dynomyco so again hopefully by Friday they should be past that stage if not on flowering either way going to be a bomb scare when these taller plants start to stretch might have to bring out the net for sure 🤣🤙🏻 if all goes wrong at least I have my clones for back ups, keep eyes open for the incoming fire thou 🔥

Buds are really putting on weight! Frost is in abundance. Colas have really gained defined shape and structure. The aroma is getting intense. Full blown bloom is a wonderful thing. Just watching as the sexyness gets more defined. We have hit the major bulking phase. Do to the new phase of growth the feeding has once again changed. I added bud golem to the mix. To get every drip drop of flowering vigor this lady has to push. Really gives that extra umph for the bulking phase. Will eliminate that last bit of grow outta the mix next feed. Than ride that mix to the flush. Until next update . Happy growing and stay lit fam.

POSITIVES - Good harvest despite the heatwave I experienced whilst having to dry, Bud turned out super sticky and smelly, NEGATIVES - Didn’t leave her to grow for long enough due to life restrictions (Trimmed on Christmas Day) Could have definitely filled out more but it is all a learning experience, Next one is already going through the seedling stage,Ethos genetics so very interested to see how they go! Happy Growing! 🍃

Week 6 had an issue with critical purple decapitating herself over night after I must’ve staked her down too hard. So CP has been topped, with LST. I guess we will see how the yields compare at harvest, eh? The smell is LOUD asf when I unzip the tent as well. Such a beautiful smell to get smacked with. Also started Hindu Kush auto - really lost my mind. 11 plants total with my outside grows. my excitement overruns my anxiety for lack of space right now...

Plant suffered of poor quality water, problems of transpiration and nutrients absorption due to pH unbalanced values, low humidity level, both light and ventilation intensity excess. Humidity is under control: stabilised between 45% and 50% continuously. pH has been fixed to 6.0 in all H2O solutions. Exhaust fan has been equipped of a rotative knob control in order to settle power: once desired humidity level is overpassed ventilation can be returned to max speed in order to maintain 24,5 Celsius degrees. LED light cycle 24/0 TOTAL AGRO at maximum intensity has been abandoned for energy and its cost savings purpose in relation with the final scope and entropy reduction effectiveness : Main+ 100 Blue+ 100 Red+ 100 LED Light Spectrum has been settled in order to give a natural Sun Dawn/Sunset effect maintaining the 24/0 cycle: 09:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 85 Red+ 50 10:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 90 Red+ 50 11:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 95 Red+ 50 12:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 13:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 14:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 15:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 16:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 17:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 18:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 19:00 Main+ 45 Blue+ 95 Red+ 45 20:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 90 Red+ 40 21:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 85 Red+ 35 22:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 80 Red+ 30 23:00 Main+ 25 Blue+ 75 Red+ 25 00:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 70 Red+ 40 01:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 65 Red+ 35 02:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 60 Red+ 30 03:00 Main+ 25 Blue+ 55 Red+ 25 04:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 60 Red+ 30 05:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 65 Red+ 35 06:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 70 Red+ 40 07:00 Main+ 45 Blue+ 75 Red+ 45 08:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 80 Red+ 50 Note: ORTOLED SERIE K is intrinsically provided of Sunrise/Sunset function which enables a smooth, uniform and gradual variation of light intensity during time without generating any kind of shock from sudden switching on or off, or changes in power and spectrum value. Blue light parameter overwhelms in this stage in order to encourage vegetative growth, compactness, and bushiness and photomorphogenesis, its development, including leaf expansion, stem elongation, and overall plant architecture. Decreased light intensity during night cycle should help regulate phototropism and reduce light stress. The plant well reacted to the care it received and the measures put in place, which given the visible critical health condition, were drastic and extreme. Possible combination of over feeding, overwatering and excess of light, responding to stress to be identified, on the basis of following visible symptoms : - leaves have turned thick, fat, dark deep green; - leaves start curling; - leaves hint a deep yellow hue; - new leaves are born with light green and yellow tips; - leaves report burnings such as fresh black spots which turn into dry brown spots; - 1 leaf at the third node is born with 4 tips, the second one is a 5 tips leaf correctly. Additional considerations to be uploaded asap regarding : - Biochar pH 8,5; - Biochar nutrients absorption and retention capacity in relation with organic growing; - Biochar and Coco Coir micro and macro nutrients binding capacity; - moon effect during plant life cycle; - huge vitality has been noticed during crescent moon appearance; - plant is asking for more and more feeding; - growing will be abandoned for no more than 96 hours therefore a self irrigating cotton rope wick system has been implemented. Added nutrients : Biobizz_ Alg-A-Mic - FishMix Bionova_ Ph+/Ph-

Well this thing is looking really really great. Far better then my last grow in this 2x2x4 tent. This light is covering this tent a lot better then the PH-1000 model. I am going to give that light one more shot but in my 2x3x5 next. I added the exhale bag about 6 days ago. I don't think it'll do much because it takes awhile to build up to its release. But by the next grow it should be at max. I've used one ones before and didn't feel like it did much so I'm a bit skeptical on if it'll do anything the next go around. This plant to my understanding is a 9 to 11 week strain so I'm hoping for at most 10 weeks so 4 more weeks. Going to do the next 2 weeks with Overdrive and then flush for 2 weeks straight. Well that's all for now so happy growing

What an incredible journey this has been! From start to finish, these plants dazzled at every stage. The drying process was a bit of a marathon – 21 days of suspense. But now, they are absolutely perfect. They snapped off the stems with a satisfying crunch – straight into my rolling paper for, ahem, "quality control" purposes. I'm beyond excited to have 2 more seeds ready for the future. Though I won't be growing them in my next round, I can't wait to see what they'll do next time. These gorgeous ladies have rewarded me with a whopping 248 grams dry! I'm in absolute weed heaven. Now comes the hard part – keeping my hands off while they cure and reach their full potential. My trusty humidor will help make sure they become everything they're meant to be. Here's to a fantastic harvest and many more green adventures ahead! 🌿🎉

Die Schätzchen starten in Ihre 7. Lebenswoche! Ich bin wieder zurück aus dem Urlaub und der Kollege hat sich wohl gut um die Ladys gekümmert. Eine ist leider ein Zwitter geworden und diese habe ich aus den Zelt entfernt, zum Glück nur die kleinste von denen 🙏🏽😎 Ansonsten denke ich das ich in diesem Run einen super Job gemacht habe, sehen alle super glücklich und gesund aus und die Ernte wird wie es ausschaut auch Top 😋😋😋😮‍💨

La primera semana de floración les sentó bien la echaron su sexo, hembras, ahora ya queda ir viendo cómo se forman las flores. La temperatura no pasa a los 30 nunca.
