Grow report week 4: The training and the topping Hello dear growers and groweresses, it’s time for an update on my grow. My plants have completed the fourth week and have grown further. But they have also experienced some measures that I will tell you about. The training This week I continued the low-stress training (LST) and tied the plants further. The LST is a method to gently bend and tie the plants to improve the light distribution and air circulation. The goal is to keep the plants low and wide and promote more side shoots and flower heads. The topping In addition to the LST, I also applied the topping to make the plants even bushier. The topping is a method to cut off the top of the plant to interrupt the apical dominance and produce more main shoots. The goal is to branch the plant and produce more flowers. I performed the topping as follows: I watered the plants well to reduce the stress. I cut off the top of the plant above the third or fourth node to create two new shoots. I observed the plants and looked for signs of stress or shock. The topping also worked well and the plants recovered quickly. They formed two new main shoots that will later become large colas. They also put more energy into the side branches, which will also carry more flowers. The fertilization I also fertilized for the first time this week, although I actually wanted to start late with it. I used the Fish-Mix from BioBizz to give the plants more nitrogen. Fish-Mix is an organic liquid fertilizer that consists of fish parts from the North Sea and organic sugar beet extract. It stimulates the biological activity of the soil and the plant growth. The Fish-Mix did well for the plants and they showed more growth. They formed more leaves and shoots and became greener and healthier. They also absorbed more nitrogen and produced more proteins. The outlook I am very satisfied with the result of the fourth week. My plants have been well trained and topped and have shown great growth. I am very curious about the next week, where I have to activate my setup completely to give the plants their final place and pots. It will be exciting for me to see if my system works as I wished. I will continue to observe the plants and respond to their needs. I will adjust the light intensity, the fertilization and the training to achieve the best results. Thanks for stopping by and see you next week! 😊

Day 37 Great growing this orange sherbert by @fastbud420. This week is starting to really get into flowering, i think will stretch à lot. At least i hope. Need à lot of feeding. Trying to get as much light is possible to flower but i defoliate being really carefull. Day 42, last two days stretching became really fast, as results i think that needs a lot more nutrients i’ll increase bio grow from 1(as schedule) to 3 ml/lt, and i’ll stop Top max as i started big bud and i don’t want too many salts to accumulate into the soil. Suggestions are acceptéd and welcome. Video of day 42 is took in darkness just a few minutes after lamp switch off. Let’s ho

Holaa, segunda semana de la Negra 44. Primer transplante para esta pequeña, se le aplico Great White en contacto directo con sus raíces. Los riegos son 1/1, uno con fertilizantes y otro con solo agua. Por el momento va todo bien, no se ven carencias ni ningún posible problema. La temperatura con el led apagado aumento un poco con la manta que compre pero aun no es suficiente, no puedo hacer nada más así que se mantendrá en esos rangos durante el cultivo. Cualquier recomendación sera bien recibida!! *Great White se mide en gramos

This pheno was certainly on roids. The strain being from an autoflower just outpaced every other plant by at least 2 weeks. It produced a whopping 8 ounces. The colors gave an alien reddish purple glow as if it were from mars. The aroma was that of blueberry cacao, a totally unique chocolatey profile.

Report Tag 22 : Willkommen in der dritten Woche 🌿 Es ist der 15 Tag nach Bildung der ersten zackigen Blätter 🌿 Da ich die Tage erst mit einer Nährlösung gegossen habe, bleiben die Gartenwerkzeuge heute alle an ihrem Platz. Höhe der Pflanzen : Purple Haze Auto 11,5 cm Frostbanger Auto 12,5 cm Z-UP 13 cm Report Tag 23 : 🌿16🌿 Heute kam der UPS Wagen und hat mir neue Souvenirs gebracht. Flotte Knoppen (ruhrpottisch für FastBuds) selbstverständlich und dabei waren auch Sticker der drei Strains. Natürlich dürfen die Sticker in dem Grow Report nicht fehlen 😃 Auch heute gibt es nichts zu tun, außer das Wetter draußen zu genießen ☀️ Die Mädels sind nun : Purple Haze Auto 12,5 cm Frostbanger Auto 13 cm Z-UP Auto 13 cm Report Tag 24 : Es ist Wachstumstag Nummer 17 🌿 Heute ist nichts mit den Pflanzen geplant. Tägliches Update über die Höhe der Pflanzen gibt es trotzdem : Frostbanger Auto 14 cm Purple Haze Auto 13,5 cm Z-UP Auto 14 cm Report Tag 25 : 18.Wachstumstag 🌿 Alle Pflanzen sind wieder gleich groß. Z-UP Auto 14,5 cm Frostbanger Auto 14,5 cm Purple Haze Auto 14,5 cm Melde mich morgen mit einem ausführlichen Bericht morgen steht einiges an. Report Tag 26 : Seid gegrüßt zu Wachstumstag 19 🌿 Heute war ein aufregender Tag und ich habe mich tatsächlich getraut meine erste Autoflower zu toppen. Es war ein langes hin und her ob, wann und welche Pflanze ich toppen soll. Dass ich eine Pflanze toppen werde, davon haben mich Sebastian und Bernie von FastBuds mich nach ihren professionellen Antworten in ihren letzten deutschen Livestream überzeugt. Meine erste Wahl wäre die Z-UP Auto gewesen, da ich davon noch einen weiteren Samen habe. Doch als ich heute das Zelt öffnete und sie mir anschaute entdeckte ich schon die ersten weißen Haare an der Z-UP Auto und somit ist es mir dann doch zu riskant. Die Purple Haze Auto wird nicht getoppt da sie eh schon einen kurzen Lebenszyklus hat und ich auf ein frohes Farbenspiel hoffe. Somit blieb mir nur noch die Frostbanger Auto und Schnipp, Schnapp der Kopf ist ab ✂️🌿 Jede Pflanze wurde mit 1,5 Liter Nährstofflösung gegossen. ( 1,5 Liter Chlorfreies Wasser + 1,5 g Bactrex + 3 ml Orgatrex + 2ml Bio PK 5-8 ) Zu guter Letzt wurden alle drei Damen noch mit 5 ml / Liter Biotabs Boom Boom Spray eingesprüht. Die Größe aller Pflanzen beträgt 15 cm Frostbanger Auto 15 cm Purple Haze Auto 15 cm Z-UP Auto 15 cm Bis morgen 👋🏼 Report Tag 27 : Halli, Hallo ! Wachstumstag 20 🌿 Zuallererst die Frostbanger Auto hat das Topping gut überstanden und zeigt keine Anzeichen von Stress 🙏🏼 Das war auch das wichtigste was zu berichten gibt. Alle drei wachsen fröhlich vor sich hin und werden mit jedem Tag etwas schöner 💚 Frostbanger Auto 15 cm Purple Haze Auto 15,5 cm Z-UP Auto 15,5 cm Schönen Sonntag euch allen 👋🏼 Report Tag 28 : Ich wünsche euch einen schönen Wochenstart! Es ist der 21. Wachstumstag 🌿 Die Größen der einzelnen Pflanzen : Z-UP Auto 16 cm Frostbanger Auto 16 cm Purple Haze Auto 16 cm Hoffe ihr seit alle zufrieden mit euren Gärten ! Bis nächste Woche 🌿 Ich hoffe es gefällt, euch was ihr zu sehen und lesen meinerseits bekommt. Ich bin dankbar für jedes Kommentar, sei es eine Anregung, eine Kritik, oder eine Frage.

8/4 the plants are looking great. Was able to use listing and get bunch on bud site to come out. No discoloration. Things going well. Might need flipped soon. 8/6 the second topped plant looking good. Did some defoliation. Think going to flip soon. They looking good with a nice top canopy forming, have lot of bud site at close the same height. 8/8 plants look great and ready to switch to flower. Did some more defoliation to get ready for flower. Setup scrog net and seems to be filling up nice. Going to do 36 hours of darkness to quicken the flower process (or so I read). Excited to start flowering.

IVE MADE MORE VIDEOS BUT THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO UPLOAD AND IT'S FAR TO SLOW TO DO IT FROM HOME 6/27 Made last week a five day week to get back on track. It's still overcast and rainy. It's not raining a lot bit it's consistent. Despite the weather the plants are doing phenomenal. I'll update later. It's 1pm. It's been raining consistently since 11. Just a sprinkle but it's steady. I'm going to begun uploading the weeks weather on my diary. I may start a new diary for the plants I light depped as they are flowering pretty good. Rain stopped and it's just overcast for now. I looked at some videos and did a comparison of videos one week ago and videos today and HOLY SHIT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Especially the light depped 10th planet. Well everything but that was the most significant difference. I'm astonished at the health and growth despite the crummy weather. Continued to rain. Just got harder. Plants are taking it but it's flooding underneath the pallets a little but it will be fine. The light dep however has me concerned. The 10th planet is looking spectacular. The bigger purple punch I'd looking good too. The smaller one though looks to have a pollen sack coming off one of the branches. Considering its not on the otherside I assume it's not just a swollen calyx. I don't mind chucking it especially if that means I don't hurt my other girls so I want to make sure. I sent videos to a few other growers and I'll add a question on here. Those three plants have been isolated from the rest for a few days due to rain. I have the suspect isolated alone until I can confirm. It sucks cause the light Depp was going good and the6ve all got little flowers. 6/28 Well that fucking sucks. ALL THREE plants I tried to light depp hermed on me. I could see male flowers. Luckily I had been keeping a really good eye on them and it was preflowers mostly. At least I caught it. One or two stamines on each plant. Would've been really easy to miss. Only one had STARTED to elongate into a stem so I think I caught it early enough. Plus since all this rain they've been kept in a different location then my big girls. Glad I did that now. Boy the roots looked good on those plants. I just grabbed the stalk and lifted and it came right out of the pot. I held it there admiring it for a minute. This sucks. At least the real plants are doing good. As far as I know. No male preflowers that's for sure. I've got some feedback from other growers and the videos are a little blurry but I had found a light leak and I'm certain these plants hermed. I know I could've tried to save them but I didn't want to risk it. I compared what I was seeing with Google photos and other websites. Aside from the larger ball with its stem, there were also several little bumps besides developed calyxes that were weaving into little buds. Trust me that I wouldn't cut down my plants if I wasn't 110% sure. I might've been able to "save them" but to me it's just not worth the risk. 6/29 I was second guessing myself pretty hard last night due to some responses I got on my light dep and messages I got from other growets. Made my anxiety horrible but I looked on several video's I'd taken again and I know what I saw. I felt better after that. This was after I researched and waited THREE days until I saw the ball on the stem and the groupings of small nubs under a fresh yellow flower. These plants were flowering good and it sucks to lose them. One MAY have been ok but one was a runt and had all the characteristics of a true hermaphrodite. They were only in 3's and I couldn't risk my harvest for an experiment. Still sucks. Oh well. Sun is starting to come out. Plants seem to be doing fantastic. I have one spot on a leaf that looks like a pillar munched on a leaf so I'll probably get the bt out soon as I have a dry day that I can apply it. I'll have to check the weather. I need to start a nute regiment but the plants aren't telling me they need anything yet. 6/30 I fucked up dates or dodnt do it yesterday or it didnt save right so I'm leaving this blank today is the 1st. 7/1 I have still only watered s couple times and I haven't had to feed. This week I'm going to start nutes. I had some external ersonal situations that have kept me from my plants. I'm hoping to get back on track. I noticed some pillar damage so I'll need to dig out the BT. This morning I saw this giant ground hog by my cage. Hated too but had to get rid of him. Of course some of the blowback landed on the leaves of one of my plants. I tried to clean it as best I could. Better than that fat bastard eating everything in one night. I broke a branch either falling around it or bulling through when I was pissed or I LST it the wrong way and the wind broke it against the tomato cage. Nice big branch too on top. I tried to fix it with duct tape but we'll see. The plants need me to spend sometime with them. I need to clean them up. Apply bt and give them their first feeding. I'll update as I go. They don't seem nutrient deficient by any means but I don't think it would hurt to start the nutes. 7/2 Bags were lighter today and if it wasn't going to rain tonight and tomorrow I'd he watering. Plants look great so soil isn't depleted yet I guess. They're growing rather rapidly. The branch I broke didnt make it. Had an idea it wouldn't but I had to try. I waited on the BT on account of the rain. I may go back over and change my mind and water with silica or a mild nute solution or maybe apply the BT. Depends what time I get back. I have some work I need to do over there. There's a few that I need to clean up the bottoms on. Pest damage is minor and limited to one or two plants and a leaf or two only. 7/3 More rain. It was supposed to rain this morning too but it didn't. We got .33in yesterday and through last night so I thought that was ok. Looking back on my previous diaries I'm doing things significantly different than before. I had used a lot more nutes earlier on. This morning I mixed two gallons of 2tsp of big bloom and fed it to the 9 plants in smart pots leaving the container plants as they have much more water in them. Looking back at other diaries I previously had, WPM and septoria by this time not to mention a shit ton of other pests I was fighting by this time. Since I poisoned where the cagexwas multiple times and sprayed the cage before it was moved I luckily don't have that problem yet knock on wood. I'm planning to apply BT tonight to deal with the moth larvae if there are any. I'm looking at plants around this area and im seeimg SOME septoria and pm on raspberry bushes and burdock so it is around. I made sure my cage is not by any other vegetation this year and is sitting on asphalt with the bags on raised pallets. Good thing I did or I guarantee they'd be flooded by now. I've been seeing multiple complaints from maine growers online (AND THEY HAVE HEALTHY PLANTS!) saying this is the worst year ever. Maybe they need a dose of fusarium oxysporum to keep them humble. This is maine. If you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. Meanwhile I'll be doing my sun dance hoping for sun. "Hard to grow cannabis with no sunlight" said another grower on my forum.

Being Mephisto Freebies there’s not a lot of info on how these particular seeds grow. I found them low maintenance, they weren’t the thirstiest girls I’ve grown and I found quite late on they didn’t like high temperatures, caused over half of them to foxtail. That being said the trichome production was there from week 2 of flower and by the time I cut them down they were some of the greasiest plants I’ve grown to date! I left a decent amount of the sugar leaves on while trimming with the hopes it will slow the drying process by a few extra days, between 7-10 days hanging, then into jars with humidity packs to cure. It’s been a fun grow and an exciting introduction into the Mephisto brand, over the last year I’ve managed to purchase a few different strains on there Monday drops so il definitely be running some more in the future. Hope this diary has been helpful ✌️ Il upload the dry weight before I put it all into jars.

Everything went smoothly. Just have a little bit of water around the root every other day or so. Gradually giving more as it grew and the soil dried out.

Que pasa familia, otra vez y es que tenia ganas de traeros estos ejemplares que veáis qué tonos tan bonitos que están sacando y ahí andan engordando uffff. Todo va bien, esta semana un pelin alta la humedad pero tiene solución que compre un deshumidificador. El overdrive está haciendo su función, y aparte de engordar se están poniendo con una capa blanca de thc. Acabamos la sexta semana y ahora tendré que estar atento para cortar la alimentación de aquí a una/dos semanas les quitaré la comida y les haremos su lavado de raíces . Os dejé varías fotos de la que fue la madre de mis clones de Haribo,( de mi colega) El aroma que desprenden es muy embriagador, es tan afrutado y dulzón que bffff es muy agradable gente. Hasta aquí es todo que tengáis buena semana y muchos buenos humos 💨💨💨
