Semaine 5

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

Stacking up to be some certified donkey d!cks! Serius Seeds

First week of flower is over and the stretch is on. Already started crushing and bending some branches on the taller plants to keep them as short as possible. They are really starting to fill out and the sour sorbet was fast to start popping pistils. I started some defoliation and cleaned up a few of the bottom branches. They need some more work over the next few days. I started them on a little maxibloom. I will increase it as I lower the maxigro over the next couple weeks. No water change this week and the ph is holding steady with no adjustments. Nutrients pumping 24 hours a day. Should see some nice fuzzy tops developing by the end of next week. I got some clones rooting from all but the twisted helix. They will be getting dusted with sugar cane pollen.

Hoy es 18 de diciembre el día q la Argentina salió campeón del mundo estoy muy feliz y es una fiesta en toda la Argentina!!!! Vamos que con huevos se puede ! Hoy es lo único q importa , mañana se retoma el cultivo con la mejor de las ganas espero ganar esta copa también!!!!

Bienvenidos, mi nombre creo que es Amnesia, soy algo olvidadiza 😵, mi apellido es Kush y desciendo de antiguos linajes Haze y Kush, soy fruto del mestizaje de plantas emigrantes y reúno en mis genes las mejores sativas de dos continentes...llámame AKU!! 😘 Acércate a mi... te regalaré aromas complejos e intensos, a incienso, tierra de bosque y frutas ácidas que recuerdan a lima y pomelo. Hoy he cumplido 22 semanas de vida, catorce desde mi paso a floración, y cuatro de reinado, soy una planta adulta y rebelde, que todavía no ha perdido la esperanza de reproducirse, me resisto a morir, por esto sigo haciendo crecer mis flores, las rodeo de blanca resina, esperando atrapar un grano de polen... sólo un grano!! Tengo una buena casa, con mucha luz y música de fondo, como y bebo con placer, mis compañeras de carpa me admiran y mi cultivador pone ojos de chacal al verme, todo bien... pero el día lluvioso y frío de hoy me lleva a la melancolía. SALUDOS A VUESTRAS PLANTAS!! 👸🐅🌲 ================================= 🙄☮️👇🙏👌🤛👍👉👉👉❤️💜❤️👈👈👈🤜👌🙏👇☮️🤩🖐️🏻 =================================

Hi everyone :-) This week, phenotype 2 and 3 were repotted just like phenotype 1 from the Zamnesia Spring Cup in the other diary 🙏🏻. Otherwise not much has happened this week. I'm curious how the two with Canna Bio will compare to the monster bud mix in the spring cup diary :-). I wish you all a nice weekend, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 👏🏻😎

07/05: made LST and Defolation New res EC: 1,13 PH: 5,8 I'm only adding PH- for now.. PH usally raise and EC remain constant Installed carbon filter and an additional air extractor

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Everything going well, the AK47 is much more vigorous than the BB, let's consider that she was more stressed. So i'm putting up the week timelapse, is a pain to do it but i found the result very interesting will try to put up one weekly. This week was a busy one, opted to a defoliation to be able to even the bud spots introducing a cage, and doing some LST, training to the cage to make a more flat pre flower spots in that way the flowering will be easier to control. So the plants grew in hight but was trained to be more bushy. We have a week to go or something about that then i will switch to 12-12. ------GG.AK47 COMMENT------ Vigorous growth, she was trained to even the canopy, with many bud spots.

Foi uma grande experiência para mim!so.no.outdoor que tinha plantas antes !elas poderiam render mais, errei em algumas coisas !poderia ter luzes melhores e o ph!ate a 6 semana estava tudo certo com elas!dai vi um amarelo em algumas folhas logo depoia que incluir o magnifical da remo!resolvi fazer uma.lavagem das raizes mais acho que lavei demais e com um ph desregulado dai ela perdeu todos os nutri da terra ou nao conseguiu absorver o que tinha por ter ph alto!nao fiz uma poda boa e por isso rendeu muitas pipocas e os galhos ja estava ficando fragil e quebradiço bem facil!no momento da maior engorda!na minha humilde opinião!lavar as raizes somente quando ela atigir seu potencial maximo antes nunca mais!valeu a todos que acompanhou meu diário!aprendi muita coisa nesse cultivo e espero nao erra no próximo!ou errar para aprender!

Real frosty and pretty purple 💜💚🔥

Je n'y touche plus et laisse faire mère nature.

Mal schauen wie hoch die noch in der Blüte gehen werden😎 Kollege kümmert sich gut

13/07/2020 - growth looking good. Highered lights to try to get plant to stretch 14/07/2020 - plants green and seems to be responding well to nutrients. 15/07/2020 - all looking good

We start next try

Hello everyone and welcome to week 9 and finally the harvest time! The road has ended for my sweet Auto Whiteberry which ran so quickly and fast that i did not expected to finish so soon. She is easy to grow despite my overnute mistake and she still managed to pull it through which is great. Kinda wished she grew bigger but i noticed the roots didn't grow much so maybe something wrong with the way i water? Next time I'm gonna try to give more distance to the light so it can stretch even longer and bigger i guess... Unfortunately I can't give a smoke report for now because its still curing and I plan on having a sample of it on my birthday which is the 27 and by that time it will be more than a month of curing and should be perfect right. My real goal tho is letting it cure for 3 months so i can can run another grow cycle and by that time when the harvest comes i wanna start smoking of my own stuff slowly and the continue every new grow cyle while the previous one is curing. Not sure if that makes sense but i think you all get what i mean haha The big bud you all see is the Auto Whiteberry from grow tent 😁 Having a new grow soon in the pc and it's another and last Auto Whiteberry seed that i had left so i am gonna do my best to get it even better than this one. Thank you all for the love and support and just simply passing by and taking a look at my work means a great deal for me. Stay safe and bless you all 🙏

Foram regadas hoje ( 08/07/2021). Os nutrientes foram misturados num garrafao com 5L de água que usei para regar 3 plantas. Usei pouca quantidade porque foi a primeira vez que estão a levar com nutrientes, na próxima rega irei aumentar para um E.C de 0,5. A royal gorilla 2 como ainda está pouco desenvolvida, apenas reguei com 1L com pH 6.3 10/07/2021 - LST Ajudem-me com dicas para fazer o LST da melhor maneira, é a minha primeira vez. Obrigado e boa semana a todos!

End of week 2 flower for both Power Plant xl Main plant 47 cm and one in shared pot 63 cm All plants looking super healthy
