Week 5 pretty successful, nothing bad happened, had good growth considering the troubles I had the week before. Leaving town for 3 days so they will be on their own. Plan on watering right before I leave and right when I get back. Got my lights on timers now. Pulled the light up to 24 inch assuming/expecting the plants will grow a bit while I'm gone. Had a lil bit of yellowing at some of the tips of one of the plants as seen in pic above. Any ideas y? Also posted a video and just curious if the wind is too much..?

Giorno 4 defogliazione e LST

As you can see differenfe between mediums is huge..have to improve my solo grow bcs i think i might be doing something wrong..any tips??

Harvest Report – Blue Sunset Sherbert The weed turned out absolutely phenomenal! The colors were stunning – incredibly dark, almost black, with deep purple hues that really popped. It was harvested at Day 80, with about 20% amber trichomes – just the right timing for a balanced effect. Check out the pictures – they speak for themselves! Stay tuned for the smoke report! --- Erntebericht – Blue Sunset Sherbert Das Weed ist einfach phänomenal geworden! Die Farben waren atemberaubend – richtig dunkel, fast schwarz, mit tiefvioletten Tönen, die richtig hervorgekommen sind. Geerntet wurde bei Tag 80, mit etwa 20% bernsteinfarbenen Trichomen – genau der richtige Zeitpunkt für einen ausgewogenen Effekt. Schaut euch die Fotos an – sie sprechen für sich! Bleibt dran für den Smoke Report!

the 3 smallest plants are a bit ahead and I think I take em earlier as day smoke and see the effects on 10% and 50% The black phases in the video are power outages... called here load-shedding 😁 One more reason to love Autos 😉

Started flushing the biggest plant today the should have about another week & half left on it, all the other ones are still clear & cloudy! Fingers crossed everything goes good through harvest I have never flushed or done any of the harvest or cure process😅😬

Have been waiting to upload the results of ma swazzenger teqnique a took a chance n hopefully it pays off man juicy chronic is the strain a like it so far hope for decent harvest but hav learned a lot n am happy for the support of ma fellow growmies tips n advice knowledge is power

24 Oct 2021 Week 16 began yesterday, but the first watering of the week was today. I’m keeping up with the flush, starting the 2nd week today. Hopefully I’ll be able to harvest in a few days. My Trio is looking really lovely. Their buds are covered in trichomes that glisten under the lights. They are starting to darken in color in some areas like their mother did. They may take on some pinkish/purple hues before it’s all done. Some of their leaves are turning purple as well. The sugar leaves are somewhat dark, but still green. All three of them are very nice to look at, and their smell is super strong! It’s really nice in my grow room! Yesterday I went out and got some more of those support sticks from the local home store and provided support for all of the branches that needed it. Which was a lot! I got 7 new support sticks and used them all. All of the branches are now supported and flourishing! Today each of my girls received a gallon of properly pH’ed water, and each had a sufficient amount of runoff from which to gather measurements. The process went as follows: C1 & C2 had an initial pH of 6.9, and C3’s initial pH was 6.8. I added .2ml of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH to 6.4 for C1, and 6.3 for C2 and C3. TDS going in was 88 ppm for C1, 86 ppm for C2, and 84 ppm for C3. Runoff measurements were a little weird. The runoff pH for C1 was 5.9. The TDS was (at first) 600 ppm. I thought that was an incredible drop from the other day, so I did it again. It was 603 ppm the second time. Ok, moving along nicely! The runoff for C2 was pH - 5.8, and TDS was 1101 ppm. 😳 That’s a lot more than C1. C3 had a pH of 5.6, and TDS of 1212 ppm. Which is even more; so I measured a little more from C1 again, and the 3rd time it measured 736 ppm. 🤔 That seems weird to me, but I’ll keep an eye on it. If it continues to be that low then I will end up harvesting it before the others which won’t be so terrible. I’ll just have to wait and see. The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity was 47%. My ladies are looking lovely and growing better than I could have hoped for. This grow has been awesome, but I can’t wait to be done. Happy growing everyone! 27 Oct 2021 Feeding/flushing time again! I was somewhat perplexed the other day when I got the runoff reading for the TDS in C1. It was 500-600 ppm less than C2 & C3 respectively. Since I was having some issues with the TDS meter I thought that IT may be the cause. I made a note to check on it today, and there seems to be no problem with the TDS meter at all. Keep reading for details. My plants are still looking as lovely as I could ever have hoped for! C1 has started showing more color changes than the other 2, and the only thing I can say the difference is, is that I defoliated some of C1’s larger fan leaves last week, and wasn’t able to do the same for the other 2. That is the ONLY thing I can think of that has been different between all 3 plants this entire grow. Regardless, all 3 plants are looking wonderful! Today each of my lovely ladies received a gallon of property pH’ed water with an expected amount of runoff for testing. The preparation went as follows: C1 & C2 had an initial pH of 6.9, and C3 was at 7.0. I added 0.2ml’s of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH of all 3 gallons to 6.3. TDS going in for C1 & C2 was 85 ppm, and C3 was 84 ppm. Runoff levels were different for all three plants. C2’s runoff pH was 5.7, and TDS was 1041 ppm. C3’s pH was 5.6, and TDS was 1059 ppm. Last time C1 was significantly lower than the others, and I thought that maybe it was a TDS meter issue. Evidently it wasn’t. C1’s TDS today was 526 ppm! 😳 still much lower than the others, and pretty much ready for harvest. The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity was 43%. Although harvest time is much closer, I don’t believe it will be done in time for this month’s grow diary of the month contest. So sad, but that’s life. Happy growing everyone! See you again soon. 29 Oct 2021 Today is the last day of week 16. I was planning on continuing the flush today, but remembered something that I had forgotten about…. I remembered the branch that had broken off of C1 back on October 10th in week 14. She had held on for well over a week in a can of water, but finally her leaves started to droop. I hung it up all by itself in my small tent to dry. Until today that is! I took it outside and trimmed it on my deck. Even outside, in a pleasant breeze, the amazing smell of this branch was easily detected. It’s kind of windy, rainy, and chilly here today, but still …. That sweet blueberry muffin smell was there. Her buds; still covered in the dried, crystallized trichomes were super sticky! I must admit that they are the stickiest buds I have grown to date. I weighed the dry bud to add to the grand total of C1’s harvest later. Then I ground it up and smoked it. All I am going to say is that from my reaction to smoking it; I have decided that no additional flushing is needed. After all, what I smoked today broke right before I started flushing, and I could taste nothing other than what I would hope to taste. So my fellow Growmies; I am ending this week right here. The next report you will see will be the harvest report!! Stay tuned!

Today, I spent some time tying down branches under the net again. It’s still a tricky task as the branches are quite brittle and break easily. Fortunately, the plants recover quickly, and so far, I’ve mainly noticed new growth sprouting from where the branches broke. Watering Experiment: Too Much or Just Right? Two days ago, I decided to give each plant an additional 2 liters of water to test the effects of what felt like overwatering. The results were interesting: High Humidity: The relative humidity spiked to 74%, which I consider a minor downside. Lower Temperature: Dropped to 29°C. Explosive Growth: The plants responded with vigorous growth! Given the humidity increase, I’ve decided to water the plants heavily only once a week. This approach should give them time to rest and prevent the growth of more mushrooms in the soil—yes, I’ve spotted a few popping up from the pot’s surface. Monitoring pH and Nutrient Reservoir I’ve also noticed that the pH has crept up to 6.2, indicating that the nutrient water hardness is decreasing. This suggests it might be time for a full reservoir refresh. Tonight, I plan to inspect the reservoir and clean it out. Thankfully, my hydro pump makes draining it a quick and easy process. Observations & Next Steps Continue training and monitoring branch recovery. Stick to the adjusted watering schedule. Refresh the nutrient reservoir and recalibrate the pH if needed. The grow is progressing nicely, and the plants seem happy despite some of the challenges. Let’s keep it going! 🌱 Cheers 30/11: Added some pictures, not to much to say because I didn't look at them the last 2 days and they just went crazy.. 01/01/25: Happy New year!! Leaving them alone is not an option... If they keep growing like this, I'll take it! This weekend, I'll do some heavy pruning. For now, I’ve snapped a few stems and tied some others to see which method gives better results. I’ve done about half so far, but I need to head to bed because of work. Tomorrow evening, I’ll tackle the other half. Also, I’ll look for some more subtle zip ties.

A little defoliation, water only yet about 1/2 to 3/4 of gal every 2 to 3 days, no problems noticed. Starting to show signs of flowering.

Thanks for following

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme.

Heavy defoliation to get some light and air in to developing buds. Currently feed every 3 hours during light on with 1 feed just before lights on because they dry out to much if I don’t feed once overnight. Tricombs showed up as well as more smell. Also got a new batch in from seedsman. With some going in paper towels tonight.

All is going ok and growing fast. Was underfeeding a bit and was a bit close to the lights and giving a bit of light stress and turning leaves pale green near the top half of the plants. EDIT I think plants was going pale because they was underfed and not to close to the light? 3.10.21 Dg 4L Wc. 3.5L Gb 3.5L Gave all 4L week 1 flower.

So far, so good. The buds are really bulking up. Struggling with knowing when to harvest. I still have white hairs but many have turned. This could be because I had some watering issues and might have introduced some stress causing them to mature early. The Trichomes seem to be all cloudy and I have some that are amber. The agony of a first grow.

Day 64 02/09/24 Monday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Day 66 04/09/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with calmag Day 68 06/09/24 Friday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron products. Day 70 08/09/24 Sunday (End of week) Feed again today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only.

Next week will flush plants with flavored extract and unsulfured Molasses. All is great!

She is doing her thing this week. She only grew 13cm this week. I do have a CO2 bag generator thing... It's not doing a lot though. My CO2 meter reads barely over 400ppm.........
