Así que semana 13 y quan hermosos podrían estar mis superlativos cultivars. Qué hay que decir de algo así?!? Hoy he decidido a colgar un vídeo para que tengáis muy presente las cosas...y si, es impresionante lo que es la cobertura de azúcar y algodón que hojas y super cogollos tienen. Y casi todo sale a la perfección, por qué estamos en el apex del invierno con temperaturas exteriores que hoy están sobre los 17ºC de máxima y 3ºC (!!!) de mínimo...la humedad es alta y si logramos tener los niveles en 70% en interior es un mal menor, por qué afuera hoy la humedad incluso con sol está sobre los 90% (mi ciudad está rodeada por uno de los mayores rios de la Península Ibérica; de la costa atlantica y de un enorme pinar y aquí los 90% de humedad relativa es algo muy normal, así que hay que tirar del deshumificador y intentar que en interiores basar las tasas sobre los 70/75% y no es perfecto, pero para mí, mucho mejor que estas tasas de humedad relativa en floración, es poder tener una temperatura interior en luces encendidas sobre los 23ºC y eso para canabicas en invierno, es un regalo de la naturaleza. Os invito a que miréis la cobertura de algodón dulce que hay en las ramas y los super cogollos que los cultivars de Ripper me están dando...a la gente de Ripper, habrá que darles el Premio Nobel de los cultivos canábicos pues las genéticas de esta gente, que palabras hay para clasificar lo que esta gente está poniendo en el mercado...es que hay quien se gaste la friolera de millones en tener anunciado en casi todo lo que sea algo que tenga que ver con luces, semillas, sustratos y nutrientes...son lo que llamo "bancos McDonald's" esos que te colgan fotos de cogollos que se comen de colores y de formas inusuales y muchas veces se confirma la idea que lo que suena muy colorido y apetecible con luces y Photoshops, después en lo que a humo dice respecto, se queda a años luz. Ya es muy visible que hay una nítida maturación de los cogollos con algunos pistilos ya marrones y ámbar. Con eso se ha adecuado la alimentación para el empuje de "rippen" final y si echáis un vistazo a lo que se está propinando a los cultivars ya estamos con un PPM muy respectable (a un nivel muy alto - nunca menor a 1500 PPM, lo que significa que estamos con unas tasas de mS/cm elevadísimas y esto es una estrategia en mi opinión muy normal cuando entramos en recta final de cultivo y si hay que darle flush muy pronto y como mi procedimiento de flush es muy basado en llenar el tanque hidropónico con agua con algo de cloreto de sódio (la sal tiene la función osmótica de integrar los sales de NKP y otros macro y micro nutrientes que estén en exceso) y darle a igual en las últimas semanas el More Grams de Cannaboom y el Explota Cogollos de Agrobeta que también por fuerza de osmosis y por la elevadísima dosis de Dióxido de Potasio, no solo para integración de esta sal, pero por qué las concentraciones en esta proporción, si es verdad que contribuyen para el adensamiento de cogollos (más que darles tamaño y eso es lo que Agrobeta nos vende, pero quién conoce el "Explota Cogollos" sabe que más que el tamaño, lo que el sal de potasio hace es desidratar los cogollos y con eso el peso de los cogollos aumenta por la agregación de las resinas en los cogollos. Pues como veis, la alimentación final a la planta es basada en un auténtico bombazo del P y K y así para que tengáis algo presente la "alimentación" es sencillamente un aporte extremo de esos componentes vitales de la floración: el RedBoom de Cannaboom que es un multiplicador y indutor de floración masivo; el Mega PK 56-35 (que sin contar con alguna de las "bombas atomicas" de Grotek) es el mayor aporte de fósforo existente en el mercado; después el Terpenum que es un bioactivador que termina siendo redundante el aporte de potasio y también algo al que no se da mucho relieve pero es un elemento que en floración tiene un peso específico muy grande en la calidad final, el azufre que poco es hablado y que por ejemplo para la producción de THC es indispensable y la calidad del material está proporcionalmente relacionada con la presencia de azufre. Después como ya hablé el More Grams con esa función de "secado de agua" siendo llenado el espacio celular de agua con las resinas y terpenos. Y para final, algo se aporta un par de veces a la semana que para mí son importantes en este momento final de grow - el Explota Cogollos de Agrobeta y el aporte orgánico de Gold Green, que a igual que el Explota Cogollos basa su acción mucho más en el potasio que en el fósforo. En fin... más no hay que deciros y tan solo dejaros que por vosotros podáis comentar lo que vuestros sentidos, vos enseñen. Y para que tengáis algo único, os he dejado también una magnífica foto de microscopio con la floresta de glândulas de resina y terpenos para que las estructuras que le dan lo maravilloso a nuestra bella cannabis. El mundo microscopio nos enseña lo cuan increíble es la masa de nuestros grows... El Dios Jah está muy presente y seguro lo que está temporada de fotodependientes y lo que de manera extraordinaria, la gente de Ripper Seeds va perfeccionando hace años, resulta en estas maravillas botanicas y canábicas. El Dios Jah que nos guarde siempre de los peligros - desde el grow y a patógenos menos pensados en los momentos finales - desde hongos en el secado hasta un ataque como por ejemplo un compañero que cogió Phytophora en las últimas semanas y literalmente los cogollos se "pudrieron" (lo nunca visto y eso que le dije que tomara mucho cuidado con la retención de agua del flush...a veces cosas tontas te pueden hacer mandar a la basura todo el esfuerzo y trabajo de una temporada y hay que estar pendiente de detalles y más pedir siempre y si eres gente de fé como yo, que algo más alto pueda protegerte. Con ello terminamos otra semana y muy importante 420 siempre y mucho más ese abrazo verde donde quiera que estés. Disfruta el video y algumas fotos macro de las más impresionantes y me lo tomaré muy mal que no dejes tu like y tu comentario.

Its very frosty and I would say overall very good if you are looking for hash. I personally do not get much flavors out of it. I harvested 3 plants, flushed them properly, and dried them properly. All of that said, the flavor just wasnt there for me. I get a coffee aroma from its buds but definitely lacks flavor. I do not get any sweet notes from it like I should. This strain is strawbanana cream x do-si-do so I was hoping for a bit more flavor. I do not weigh wet, so final dry weight after a tight trim was a little over 6 ounces.

Jungle is growing on top of my washing machine! On the last day of week 6 I lowered lights to 35cm from canopy, this week I’m going to monitor that number and adjust as necessary because the plant is still in stretching + bud setting phase. I’m feeding with high N+mag and I’ll continue until growth slows down, than I’ll switch to megacrop 2parts. I expect that to happen end of this week, 10 days max. Day 42 - changed the fan Day 44 - finally installed the blumat auto irrigation system. It wasn’t that easy since branches are really near the substrate but at least I had the carrot already placed so I was able to do it. High frequency fertigation on coco is a must, you can’t take advantage on coco great qualities watering 1 or 2 times a day. My system has 5 drippers placed in a Pac-Man shape, more or less. Day 45 - This is an important day since it marks the halfway point of this crop, based on my previous results. Coincidentally I’ve also spotted few small trichomes on a leaf, I guess the plant is now ready to build up mass and flavors. I did a minor defoliation to open up the inner canopy and to get rid of some plant’s nitrogen reserve. I prepared 20L of my bloom solution and mixed that with the veg solution in the reservoir. For a week I’m going to use this transitional feeding. Lots of sulfur, seems to be on a volcano 🤣 Day 46 - spotted a minor P deficiency. There is probably too much calcium in my solution that is antagonizing P absorption. I mixed another batch, this is the ppm breakdown N 100 P 100 K 280 Mg 85 Ca 150 Before I had P 40 and Ca ~190, my tap water has 80ppm of Ca that is already counted it. I’ll keep this value for a couple of weeks than I’ll lower everything except K. (Edit from the future - K is too high) Day 47 - plant looks happy and bigger, it drunk 3+ liters yesterday. There is no need for humidifier anymore so I’m getting rid of it. Temperature is 30-32C with 50-60% humidity. Day 48 - buds are swelling, some branches are already showing the spiral structure. Plant drunk 5 liters yesterday, impressive.

Day 17 (starting Aug. 2nd afternoon): Will water them with a lightly enhanced RO water that was imprinted with frequencies via a PEMF coli for about one day when their day starts. After being away over the extended weekend, on day 20 ladies have grown very nicely. I topped nr# 1 and #2 after I took the photos and will give them a bit of water with Root Complex to compensate for the shock later. Sadly my brilliant control equipment has crashed completely and will not even take a photo currently. Yikes. Hope I can get it back alive this week again. Also turned the left light up by another 20%, now running at 40 W, and lifted it a bit. Eye inspection told me lights were lower here and ladies can get a bit more. At the end of their day 20, they seem to have survived the topping well. I managed to cut right above the new nodes which are already growing. Ladies are at 20 cm height before going to sleep. Day 21 shows great growth again, with lady #1 being at 22 cm now and lady #2, while being a bit less tall, extremely good side branch development. I hope that the rearranged lighting on the left side of the tent will make #1 grow a bit bushier too. Besides from that, I am really happy I tested Hesi HPE. I had such enormous success with room plants that made me want to see how Cannabis plants react to it. It will not add much to salinity, so I dared to add it quite early. While the photos are processed to compensate the lighting, I did not add much to saturation, so leaves are indeed of a very vivid, luscious green and ladies looking extremely healthy. Speed of growth has increased too as the added video shows. It also tells me lighting is enough – they are turning their leaves away right at the end of their day. I am really uncertain if I will change to usual Hesi grow fertiliser at all … Did a bit of LST to the lowest branches of lady #2 which spread almost to the border of her pot. Both temporary girls will leave the tent soon, so that the competitors will have maximum space to develop. Day 22, end of week 3: Outside girl went to get fresh air from now on. Wishing her luck, good weather and not a single male in the vicinity. I rearranged the lights and positioned them a bit higher. First preflower signs appeared on the ladies, so I will change the lighting phase when I return next week. Currently, I have them at 18/6, 45 cm above heads, with 80% running to a total of 80 W. I wasn’t so lucky topping #2. She has only one "top side" branch now … But grows extremely well, so ok!

Day 46 of Flower, 93 since germination. Starting to check the trichomes with my new wifi microscope. Looks like Lemon Extract has a scattering of amber trichome heads, but only in bud nearest the light. All other look milky and glassy. I'm thinking Lemon Extract might harvest in one week. The others, maybe two weeks. Gave the ladies their last feeding today. Just PH balanced water from here til harvest.

***April 30 Sorry guys, I know I'm super late for this week's update. Things have been busy with my pregnancy so I didn't have much time to sit down and document. Reservoir has been changed Monday as per usual, same amount of nutrients. The main top branch was getting some light stress because it wouldn't stop growing upwards, so I supercropped it over. It's been 2-3 days since I've done that, and it doesn't seem to mind. It also opens up the middle of the plant so now some of the lower bits can get a lot more light access! Trimmed the roots pretty good as well when I did the reservoir change. The pistils are starting to brown, and the nugs are absolutely solid. A nice amount of trichomes found on the fan leaves also! Freakshow is said to be a 9-12 week flowering strain, so I think it's still got a few weeks to push through, and I might really push on the nutrients as it gets to the end, but so far so good! It's dank as all darkness, and the smell waves over you every time you enter the same room or open the tent in the morning. This girl still manages to impress me every time I look at her. Very happy with 7east genetics so far! Also changed brands of calmag, to future harvest calnesium!

After 2 weeks I chose my favorite plant of the three and prepared her for the Autopot. Now she needs to root this pot for another 2 weeks before we can turn on the Aqua Valve and the tank. DLI 30

This week I transplanted them from the AC Infinity Seed Starter to their 5 gal grow bag or their final pot! I like to make my own super soil out of Root Organics Formula 707, Coco Coir, Perlite, Vermiculite, and amendments. Then I placed a hole in the middle of the 5 gal grow bag, for the plant being transplanted, and placed the young seedling into the hole. Then I lightly covered around the base of the young seedling. Then I watered with 250mL of pH balanced H20! From there that's it just checking on it daily and watering as needed daily with plain pH balanced H20. Then I amended the soil with 4-4-4, 4-6-3, Blood Meal, Bone Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Kelp, and Earthworm Castings. Then I gave nutrients every other day. First General Hydroponics MaxiGrow then plain pH balanced H20 the next day. Then amended the soil as noted above. Then plain pH balanced H20 the next day. Then I would feed The Stash Blend and then plain pH balanced H20. Then the General Hydroponics MaxiGrow and then plain pH balanced H20. Then Real Growers Soil Recharge and finally plain pH balanced H20 to finish the week off. I always pH at 6.0 for nutrient solutions and 6.8 for my plain pH balanced H20. My temps for solutions were 72° and ppm was 800-850 with EC 1600-1700. I always use my oxygenated H20 that is monitored by a professional meter and so are it's levels! I have oxygenated H2O with a pump ready to go at all times! This way I can just scoop up the water and go on demand without having to worry! All and all they're growing well and gaining a ton daily!!
