This week ill try to switch over to an English diary because the translation is absolutely crap and i might learn a thing or two about the English terms in growing, also because the American and Canadian researchers extended the growing knowlegde in an absolute insane tempo and i would probably get most of my information from them. I don't have a spelling-check on this pc, therefore i apologize in advance ;). I uploaded some photo's with crappy lighting (Next grow ill switch day-night rythm and should give me better opportunities for photo's, but we'll get to that in the future) but also i short video of some notes which i will elaborate below: Last week on saturday i turned off the carbon vent because i could not get the humidity level right and i was still waiting for my humidifier. I placed a big fan inside the tent for air circulation and besides that i installed a small vent-filling fan in in front for clean-airflow. Last weekend i closely watched what the humidity and temperature did and started playing with the setup. All the changes i made in the tent last week are: 06-02: - Shut down carbon vent - Added rotation fan inside - Added small front-fan for clean airflow 07-02: - Added humidifier (setting 55%) - Dropped HPS 600W about 15 cm's to 110 cm height 08-02: - Humidifier setting 60% 09-02: - Dropped HPS 600W about 20 cm's to 90 cm's height 10-02: - Front fan on 2 instead of 1 11-02: - No changes because all is stable 12-02: - Placed humidifier at the back instead of the side of plants - Dropped HPS 600W 15 cm's again to 75 cm's height - Moved the inside fan more to the top-back of the tent (more facing downwards) - Opened up a vent-hole in the top of the tent for a little warmth release From the moment i turned off my carbon vent last week the sprouts started flourishing, especially when i added the humidifier. All the changes, noting, and looking at them how they pose, reading blogs and learning have brought me to the point that i think i stabelized it. Allthough i am going to turn on the carbon vent sooner or later (i might do this tomorrow) i need to pay attention again because i'm predicting it will drain the humidifier in a higher speed and that means i have to refill approx. 15 liters in 2 days? The tank is 5.5 liter and at the moment i refill it every evening, so thats already 11 liters in 2 days. I'm really expecting it to increase significantly i ill keep my notebook ready. :p I'm also a bit worries it will be so warm in my tent because the outside temperature is pretty cold, and that might also be the reason the temperature doesen't go above 28 degrees anymore. Okay enough about the tent setup changes. Lets talk plants. After the transplant last week to their end-pot these auto's started to grow immediately and i think they did really well this week. Since the humidifier got added to the tent, every morning the plants praise their "Hallelujah" pose which is really pleasing to watch... **Last weeks's first time watering in the big pots:** 06-02 around 09.00: - 750ml around the side - 750ml around the middle area - 750ml with nutrients spreaded around the pots All is equally divided through 4 plants. This week's watering and nutrients: 08-02 around 16.00: - 750 ml around the pot - 750 ml with nutrients 11-02 around 10.00: - 500ml around - 500ml around - 500ml with nutrients 12-02: - Sprayed Vita Race first time 4ml in 750 ml and sprayed about 15% of it on the leaves, no drups, mostly nebula. The vita race really made the leaves shine, also within 1,5 hours all moist was took in or evaporated, Today probably again around 1600 ill water them again but ill hold the next vita race for tomorrow or something. as long as the plants shine the same i don't know if it's neccasary? Okay, last but not least.... This week on wednesday i kinda mis-read some shit on internet and topped 3 of my 4 plants. I think it went okay, because they don't seem to stressed about it. They still flourish and hallelujah on! Still i'm pretty worried because i made the cut right next to the nodes which isen't the best thing (learning phase :p)...... The reason i topped 3 outta 4 because i wanted to see if i diden't stress the smallest one, he would out-grow the others, but that does absolutely not seem to be the case. Also i think it's a great way to learn by not stressing one plant to see the differences, i want this first grow not to be about end results but more about learning and developing my own personal experience and point of view. Oh PS, i also drilled all the holes to prepare for LST, but i think they were kinda to small on 10-02 when i drilled it. I'm going to watch the recovery from the topped plants closely coming week and maybe start with LST. Stay tuned while this noob messes around with Auto Critical Orange Punch of Dutch Passion.

Because she's a herma I'm not going to do much about it. I took away all the balls and she is growing not so beautiful as I wished for.

Hello! How’s it growing, duuuude? (Very smart joke going-growing haha). So the day has finally come. Week 9 sharp. day 63 - cut down two out of 3 girls. The trichs are good, the plants themselves are funny of course because of the nitrogen diet, the leaves are not fading, crunchy as pringles. Girl 1 has pretty dense buds and heavy, girl 2 is more airy and light but still enough for me ;) Girl 3 asked for some time to get herself ready and I don’t mind. However she is foxtailing As Fuuuuu. Could this be because of N overfeeding in flower? Cuz the temperatures are not THAT high. Anyway, she is welcome as she is. Already getting ready for round two. The soil ill go with will be biobizz light mix. And will be putting big bucks in the feeding. Probably will get the whole range of biobizz. Have purchased beautiful seeds from RQS This time i want to grow 2 plants instead of three to give them more air and light. I chose cookies to be one of the girls, but still not sure between Purple Punch and Mimosa. Maybe you have something to say? Collected all the leaves and waiting for the trim of ms. “Late to the party” and will be making canna butter and hope to bake some brownies for my wife to enjoy because she cant smoke in any form. Hellava hobby we got guys and girls. Love every minute of it! Will add harvest report when i cut down the third plant and dry out to see final weight. Enjoy your growing and thanks for stopping by!

I thought I'd include an update of our Cream auto.. it was a rocky run but she pulled thru :) .. she's coming down in about a week..

Hello everybody. Day 58. The plants seem to be fine, but I think that more than two weeks are needed till the harvest. I have always watered with water with 6 pH but I noticed that few of the most grown plants’ leaves are yellow with brown spots, as shown in the photos. I don’t know why, but the two plants in the rear seem to be a bit less developed than the three in first raw. Moreover, the back ones’ leaves get a claw shape after I water them even if I use the same mixture of water andare nutrients for all of them. Last question: should I keep on fertilizing them all? Please, any opinion or suggestion is welcome.

Broke one of the original 8 growth tips early on, but she's grown nicely into her heptagon shape. Living soil still seems to have too much nitrogen for her, hopefully vegging her a few more weeks before flipping will burn through some of it. I've had to "mow the lawn" of clover a couple times now just to keep good airflow, and that fallen cover crop is starting to make a nice mulch...which in turn makes watering in coco a little less stressful. We're in late veg now, so tent is holding steady at: - PPFD = 600 - VPD = 1.0 - Temp = 82 F (28 C)

As the Ganja Farmer Seed's TKO is ripening and getting closer to harvest, I'm continuing to lower ppm levels while managing bucket water levels and ph. We're exactly at day 56 of flower (5/5/23) on Cinco de Mayo. The TKO reflects a flowering time of 60-65 days, so no more nutrients at this point. I'll continue to monitor Trichomes through next week (i.e., week 9 of flower). Once I see more amber (approximately 20-25%), I will begin a 2-3 day flush with straight RO water. At that point, she is ready to come down. The last bucket change end of week 7 strictly following GH's recommended dosage. That bucket change out brought an end to the ph swings she was beginning to experience. After the change out, the balance between water consumption, nutrient uptake, and ph is spot on. Specifically, while plant is up taking water, ph and ppm have maintained stability. She's looking and smelling incredible. There is a learning curve with DWC - no lie - but I've enjoyed the experience. She is an aggressive grower and challenging for maintenance. All in all, great genetics. Gratitude and thanks to Ganja Farmer Seeds! Peace.

Start of the 2nd week and everythings running smoothly

Durante esta semana la niña se termino de recuperar del estrés hídrico y tiene un buen pan de raíces. Aumento su consumo de agua y riego cada 3 o 4 días, intercalando riego de pura agua estacionada con ph 6,4 y 1er riego con fertilizante de vegetación. La niña crece frondosa con un gran tallo principal fuerte y grueso, y con poca altura. Realizo la primer defoliación y aplico un lst muy suave para permitir un mejor flujo de aire entre las ramas nuevas y mayor apertura de luz. La planta responde bien a la poda y el lst y se prepara para entrar en la pre floración-

The girls just keeps on Living life and growing more and more for each day😍 We Saw alot of good reviews on the autopot system so we thought we would try it out🙌🏼

Went to harvest them in the midst of night with a friend. Not as much mold as I was expecting considering how dense the vegetation was surrounding the spot. Lost less that 5% to mold which is good.

Nice start flowering time. Need sunny weather now. Left flower has bigger blooms, it is nice. Edit: The left flower goes faster.. Start nutrients Plagron Green Sensation and Royal Sugar for maximum blooming now.

Will update ASAP !

One of the targets for that grow is to keep the height of the plant as low as possible, because i only have about 80 cm from the bottom of the box to the LED lights as available space for the plant, so i thought i will a give that LST a try. Additionally i slowly started incresing the power of the LED to 60%. By now (a few weeks later) I already know that i started the LST a little bit early, but the plant was reacting well and kept growing. Furthermore I added a cheap webcam to my setup to create some timelapse videos. It's not a high res camera, but I still find it very interesting to watch that plant grow in timelapse 😁

Well we are going to week 8 and this is the first of the many weeks of flowering that has started .. The girl is very stinky and she smells almost citrus like .. The male flower is a great healthy looking baby 👶 I'm excited to get some pollen off of her . Keep your eyes on this one

Tag 42 - Ende der 6. Woche. Der Stretch ist beendet und die Pflanze konzentriert sich auf die Buds. Deshalb habe ich in dieser Woche den Dünger etwas erhöht und die Menge an Litern die ich gieße. Ich bin gespannt wie sie sich in der nächsten Woche entwickelt. An Tag 36 wurde die Pflanze gedüngt. Nährstofflösung: 2 ml/l - Voodoo Juice Advanced Nutrients. 4 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part A 4 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part B 2 ml/l - Bud Candy Advanced Nutrients. 2 ml/l - Big Bud Advanced Nutrients. Davon hat die Pflanze 1l an Tag 36 erhalten.
