Hello 👋 🤗 Ripening word-forming element meaning "beyond" (ultraviolet) or "extremely" (ultramodern), from Latin ultra- from ultra (adv. and prep.) "beyond, on the other side, on the farther side, past, over, across," from PIE *ol-tero-, suffixed form of root *al- "beyond." In common use from early 19c., it appears to have arisen from French political designations. As its own word, a noun meaning "extremist" of various stripes, it was first recorded in 1817, from French ultra, shortening of ultra-royaliste "extreme royalist." There’s no specific formula for boiling the roots. It’s just boiling the roots, nothing out of the ordinary. Here’s a simple step-by-step process to boil cannabis roots during harvest for utmost potency; Step 1: Detach the roots from the substrate without spoiling them. Some will break from the root ball but retain as many roots as possible. Note that the technique is only helpful when you leave the roots attached to the plants when you boil them. Step 2: Soak the roots into boiled water for about 45 seconds. The water should be hot, bubbling hot, if you may. Step 3. Hang dry the plants while still attached to the roots and let them dry until you can cure them From here we ensure consistency, 60F/60RH with strict measures to ensure little fluctuations. for the next 4-7 days. (edit: Took 9 days)

Giving up is not an option! 24 hours in Bio Tabs Seed Plug + water then transplanted into a mixture of coffee grounds + soil + vermiculite. Lessgo 😉 23.07.20258 Looks like one seed isn't germinating. Probably my own fault, as I didn't notice that the water had leaked out. The shell is open, but nothing else is happening. I'll give it another chance, otherwise unfortunately RIP.

Flowering! Return of the gnat issue this week. I am adding more gnat traps and adding a fan to point at the soil to dry it out. Lower leaves occasionally turn yellow and die off. About 5 a day. Still feeding RAW BLOOM at about 1.5tsps per gallon.

Schönen Sonntag und 3. Advent euch =) ! 🌱 Wochenupdate Die Woche lief mal ohne Drama, zum Glück =D Ich habe kurz nach dem Stretch alle Maßnahmen eingeleitet, um das Canopy sauber zu formen. Die ersten sanften Klima-Anpassungen sind erfolgt, und wir bewegen uns auf die Blüte zu – aaaaw yeeeah =D Wie ich ja bereits erwähnt hatte, wollte ich nach dem Sonden-Fix erst einmal visuell beurteilen, wann der Stretch wirklich vorbei ist und wir final auf die Meshes sortieren 😊. Die Sonde läuft inzwischen wieder zuverlässig, aber zu diesem Zeitpunkt konnte ich mich darauf leider noch nicht voll verlassen … Ich habe also noch einen weiteren Tag trainiert und bei jeder Kontrolle darauf geachtet, wie weit sie über das Netz drüber sind und ob es sich dabei um echten Stretch oder nur um Rebound vom Runtertrainieren handelt =) Dienstag hatte ich dann deutliche Anzeichen, dass wir endlich durch sind 😄 Ab hier habe ich jeden potenziellen Trieb auf ein Mesh verteilt und die, die etwas zu weit waren oder noch gebogen ins Netz zurückgeholt 😁. Als das Canopy „locked“ war, habe ich ihnen erst mal ein wenig Ruhe gegönnt. Da ich nach 12 h kein Zeichen von Stagnation durch Stretch-Erholung und Umverteilung feststellen konnte, konnte ich es nicht lassen und habe das komplette Canopy defoliert =D Der Gedanke dahinter war einfach, so früh wie möglich viel Licht an die jungen Budsides zu bekommen 😄 Jedes Blatt, das Schatten geworfen hat oder keinen direkten Nutzen hatte, wurde entfernt =) Sie haben es mir direkt bei der nächsten Kontrolle gedankt 😁 Hier habe ich dann das erste Mal echt mit mir gehadert. Die Frage war, ob ich jetzt nach Lehrbuch fahre und ihnen ein paar Tage Ruhe gebe oder ob ich direkt weiter im Programm mache und die Under-Canopy-Defo hinterherschiebe. Es wäre schon ein Traum, direkt zu Beginn vom Aufbau einen guten Energiefluss zu haben =D Die Ladys standen absolut vital und haben förmlich dazu eingeladen … also habe ich natürlich direkt durchgezogen und direkt unter dem Netz defoliert =D Hier wurden alle Spaghetti-Triebe und alles, was nicht oben im Netz angekommen war oder kein echtes Potenzial hatte, entfernt. Alles, was geht, soll ohne Umwege in die Tops gehen. Und bitte kein Popcorn =D =D Anschließend habe ich noch die Luftzirkulation angepasst, damit unter dem Netz wieder ein schöner Luftstrom entsteht =) Man sieht sogar wieder, welche Pflanze welche ist =D ! Jetzt geht’s auf in die Blüte – bin gespannt, wie es weitergeht 😊 🌱 Pflanzenstatus & Training Alle machen sich gut =) Bei Notorious habe ich das Gefühl, sie stretcht deutlich buschiger als die anderen – sehr viele brauchbare Triebe, wirklich eine tolle Scrog-Plant 😁. Bei Purpz ist mein Eindruck, dass sie deutlich mehr versucht hat, nach oben zu kommen. Hier muss man wirklich hinterher sein, wenn man sie sauber scroggen möchte. Blueberry Cupcake – absoluter Performer 😄, damit habe ich aber auch schon gerechnet bei dem, was ich über die Genetik gelesen und gehört habe =) Zu guter Letzt das Sorgenkind Guzzlerz: Hier wird auf jeden Fall noch mal was kommen in Zukunft. Leider hatte ich massive Probleme mit der Keimrate. Die einzige, die aufgegangen ist, ist schon mit einem Keimblatt zu wenig ins Rennen gestartet und konnte einfach nicht so gut hinterherkommen. Trotzdem füllt sie eine kleine Ecke im Netz und sieht auch sonst im Vergleich top aus 😄 – nur eben kleiner. Da werde ich auf jeden Fall noch mal testen, wie ein guter Seed performt 😊 ⚙️ System Nach wie vor selbes Vorgehen mit Top-Ups =) Aktuell brauchen die Ladys deutlich mehr Wasser als Nährstoffe, weil nach der Defo und dem Canopy-Sorting der Wasserverbrauch durch die Auxin-Umverteilung und die erhöhte Transpiration deutlich ansteigt =) 1,1 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt EC der Lösung wurde auf 1,9 EC erhöht 1000 PPFD Vielen Dank mal wieder fürs Lesen und die Anteilnahme, nur liebe für euch =) Eine schöne Woche =)

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-18. Week 5 starts and the girls are doing fine. Girl Nr 1 is 37 cm high, Nr 2 is 88 cm and Nr 3 is 23 cm. Did a lot of defoliation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-19. 2 new fans is installed in the grow room. Added pic and video. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-20. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. Girl Nr 1 is 39 cm high, Nr2 is 99 and Nr 3 is 21 cm. Kl 23.00. Did some massive defoliation, added video and pics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-22. The girls have recovered well after my massive defoliation. Girl number 1 is now 40 cm high, number 2 is 105 cm and number 3 is 25 cm. It is strange that 3 plants from the same strain, with the same care and environment, can distinguish so much in appearance and size. It separates 80 cm in numbers 2 and 3. In 4 days Nr1 has grown 3 cm, Nr 2 has grown 17 cm and Nr 3 has grown 4 cm. They have received 7 liters of water and nutrition today.

D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: less then a gallon each - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong. - temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

Night 87 since seed touched soil. In total darkness, after work i came to check huge rain damage - found bud rot. #1 goes down. Day 94. Last two girls are down, this summer adventure is over ! If early spring, in theory you can have two auto harvests easy, even in UK ... Happy Growing !!!

Purpeling...much appreciated from Mr. Pipi ...yesterday i threw some icecubes on her soil for her to sip on through the night. Gimme dem Pörpel Buds ecco 29.03.2024 Day 115 Mr. Pipi chopped off one Branch(13,6g wet). Since April 1st gonna be a date to celebrate for Germany, Mr. Pipi wants to do so with some early Harvest. Just because I can. 😄😄 And around 3-7 Days the rest of the plant will be ready, hopefully. Mr. Pipi feels like its over 50% Milky and the amber ones are a bit rare. But we are close my friends. So Let´s all be happy and welcome the german growers officially🙌🙌 I tried to take sweet shots of the branch, but Mr. Pipi is amateur. and the branch was curved 😵. But i hope you enjoy.
