Harvest

12/02: la fin de l'année approche :) hohoho :D la seconde semaine de pré-flo démarre gentillement le second fillet se rempli de jours en jours :D 12/03/: ajout de foto et d'une vidéo pour rendre l'état de mon second ScrOG. c'est en forgeant qu'ont deviens forgerons... :D

The day of harvest has arrived! Even though it always feels like a big day - at least for growing, lol - there isn’t actually much to be done. I always hang the plants as a whole and only trim enough to make sure there are no air pockets during the drying process. I know it might spark some controversy, but I dry by VPD, which also lets me adjust the humidity according to the temperature. Each plant came in at around 200g wet weight, which is rather small - but honestly, if the quality is high, I don’t mind. I have to admit though, they are very small 😜. The smell is as expected: like you put your head in cookie dough! Until next time!

Big week! I got my new EarthBoxes and a bunch of goodies. I picked up the Probiotic Farmer's Alliance kit from BuildASoil, so I also got some EM-1, Kashi Blend, dolomite lime and Malibu compost. Alongside that I picked up Colorado Worm Compost (vermicompost), Gnarley Barley (malted barley, corn and hemp) and Craft Blend (aprox 3-5-2 organic mix). Unfortunately there was a bag of soil missing, so I ended up using my own mix though I am somewhat scared of it being too clay-heavy for the SIP. I inoculated with EM-1 and began fermenting a batch of activated EM-1 to make the bottle last longer. It looks about a week from LST, after that I hope to set up a two-tier SCROG setup and begin growing the bushes. I will begin spraying AEM-1/EM-FPE/EM-5 alternatively once a week for IPM, I will try to avoid using neem this round (unless I find this approach lacking). I also brewed a batch of EM-FPE with aloe that smells incredible, I can't wait to give it a go.

The 8 BANANA KRUMBLE (=Banana Punch x OG-Kush) plants grown from GREENHOUSE SEEDS harvested a TOTAL OF 450 GRAM OF DRIED BUD. The buds are of CONNOISSEUR-QUALITY, they are IMMENSELY FULL OF TRICHOMES and have the MOST BEAUTIFUL RED and PURPLE coloration I HAVE EVER SEEN! The AROMA IS FANTASTIC! It is VERY SWEET and reminds me of ripe bananas with a hint of cinnamon, at the same time it has a gassy undertone to it from the OG-Kush parent. It is simply mouthwatering! 😍 The sweetness also can be tasted when you smoke those wonderful buds. They have a STRONG MEDICINAL effect and help PERFECTLY AGAINST MY CHRONIC BACK-PAIN! The SANlight-LEDs used an average of 332,25 Watts (=with dimm-levels included) and harvested 450 grams...THAT IS A FANTASTIC AVERAGE OF 1,35 GRAM PER WATT! This harvest was EXCELLENT and I loved this cycle from beginning to end!

this week we did the topping following the guidelines of our more experienced friends.

Esta semana limpiaremos las raíces agua Ya no queda nada dejo lo último , ya finde semana se viene corto y después esperar la secada .

Estas cepas son las mas avanzadas con diferencia, estan engordando las flores super rapidas y vaya pinta que tiene!! Estoy casi seguro que van a ser las mas productivas. A partir de ahora las regare solo con agua con un PH de 6

Some beautiful plants especially 1 and 2. Sweet skittles smell. Happy with outcome.

(12/23-12/29, days 56 to 62) Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week. Week 6 Notes & Observations: No new issues to note, no mites found after the first and I have used Spinosad twice now just in case. P2 is getting stressed over ties and no ring, so I decided they will both go on a ring after i broke another branch without realizing it. Found it the next day and then topped the other side to gain two colas there - still 8 set but with varied start time's and points. Still looking to flip around new year’s day. Day 58 (last feed was day 55) Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. Starting weight from each pot was 18 lbs and 8 oz, this time P1 weighed 12lbs 1oz. (12lbs 10oz before last feed) and P2 weighed 11lbs 8oz before feed (11lbs 8oz before last feed). Each plant got 1.5 gallons of purified water with a mix of Veg/Bloom Mix concentrates - 300ppm Veg Mix (recipe on week 2) and 190ppm Bloom Mix (recipe on week 5) with 1.5ml of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) . The ph on this feed was balanced to 6.75ph (6.25 last time). After feed this time, P1 weighed 21lbs 5oz and P2 also weighed 21lbs 11oz (both weighed 20lbs 9oz after last feed). I got ~8 cups of runoff on P1 and 10 cups on P2 this time (8 cups of runoff on P1 and 8 cups on P2 after last feed). Runoff for P1 ph was 6.42 with 970ppm (6.36 with 1110ppm last feed) and P2 was 6.41 with 980ppm ( 6.35 with 1170ppm last feed). no top soil tests this time as ph is mostly showing no issues - next feed will be 1.5 gallons of de-chlorinated water and 6.5 to 6.75ph again - I dont see any issues from feed or training.

Update later

Great week overall, environment working very well and maintaining temp even on hot summer days - 33C outside! Humidity is too high at night when the extractor switches off. Plug timer need to run from 10pm to 4am. Reduced pump to 1 min fill as planned Took reservoir from 22L to 17L to save chems and avoid spillage as roots grow. As they fill their pot I was finding progressively larger puddles every morning Video of rootball and Flood and Drain in action Scrog net finally arrived after being delayed in the mail by a month :D Had a go at FIMing, waiting on results Raised lamps by 5cm Green leaves showing no signs of burn Roots looking healthy and well developed I keep getting too enthusiastic with the pH+ and always have to top-up with water to raise the level back. No more than 0.5ml needed at each test.

Finally got a grow tent. Still using the shitty lights though, that'll be fixed another pay day !

New Aeroponics "root rain" mist cloner! Holds 2 gallons of water. I added 8 Tsp of CloneX clone/seedling nutrient. PH was 6.0-6.5ish, good enough! These clones inside got zapped pretty hard one day, because I forgot to plug in the water pump one time after playing with it hehehe... Some didn't make it, but most survived! every other plant was watered with just de-chlorinated tap water, for re-hydration. #4 has been selected as the winning pheno! The mother plant had her home upgraded to a 2gal pot. The root ball was not so bound, due to her receiving a root-prune not too long ago, she was re-potted back into a solo cup. I pruned the bottom of the root mass off with a light pinch, and potted her into her new 2gallon home!

79 days!!!!! and the harvest is already harvested :) The whole growth until week 6 went very well, then the girl got a little worse, (I think it's my mistake, which I described in previous weeks), but besides all that she managed to ripen perfectly, matured stiff flowers, full of shiny sticky trichomes with a very, very sweet aroma ;) 210 gr of wet buds, I also collected a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash :) I can't wait to taste it :) this is my first trip with Sweetseeds Looking at the flowers I understand that I will definitely repeat it :) I will leave more feedback after the smoke review:) good luck to everyone.

She starting to stretch

Moin alle zusammen diese Woche war wieder nicht viel los. 23.03.23 Giessen 3L Wasser und 0,5L Compost Tee danach eine leichte entlaubung um den Luftstrom zu erhöhen und etwas mehr Licht in das Blätterdach zu bekommen. 24-26.03.23 chillen und genießen 😋 27.03.23 Giessen nur Wasser (ab gestanden ohne Ph Anpassung) 3,5L 28-29.03.23 chillen und genießen😇 Edid: zum Geruch der Moschus Ton ist weg daraus ist in dieser Woche eine zarte Karamell Note geworden die die Haupt note ananas küsst wirklich eine sehr leckere Geruchs combination zudem wird der Geruch von Tag zu Tag intensiver und es mischt sich der typische Gras Geruch drunter aber nicht zu aufdringlich! Das wars für diese Woche ihr growmies!
