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! 😊

10/26 - 11/1: I germinated 6 seeds with rapid rooters in net pots in my DWC cloner. The Original Bubble Gum didn't pop, so I started a Strawberry Pie in it's stead. I planted them in 1/2 gallon biodegradable fabric pots and will plant those in some new 2 gallon pots (which actually hold closer to 3 gallons) once I harvest my current crop and have somewhere to put them. I'll grow them in my tiny tent (36" x 18" x 60"), which is just 5 square feet, so it's gonna get pretty tight before it's over. Once they're mid-way into flowering, I'll turn on the 3rd QB and hammer them with 74w per square foot! Muah haaa haaaa haaaaa!😈

Smell of the plant is amazing. Smells like red Berries. Buds got huge and medium dense. I only harvested the 3 main buds as they are developed the most. The rest of the plant can stay for one more week. I Also removed some dead leaves.

Cambio el periodo de luz a 12/12 y impregnó con 5ml de Delta 9 por un litro de agua sobre las plantas por encima y debajo de las hojas de la planta por el tallo y básicamente por toda la planta.. para quien no lo haya echo nunca esto hay que hacerlo justo antes de que apaguen las luces y justo cuando cambiemos el fotoperiodo a 12/12 esto acelerará en un estado metabólico de la planta de un estado natural con macro y micronutrientes facilitando la creación de terpenos sabor y olor característicos de la cepa (esto lo hice el día después de las fotos se verán los cambios en la siguiente semana) parece que todo va bien la carencia pasada se corrigió aunque esta semana doblando un tallo para que no creciera mas una de las gorilas se partió escuché un crujido y había partido un poco el tallo le puse cinta y todo parece ir bien corto el biogrow no necesito que crezcan mucho más no tengo mucho más espacio unas cepas muy buenas buen tamaño buena apariencia y buen olorcito 😍😋 espero que salgan rápido estas flores que seguro se van a ver increíbles! Hasta la próxima

OSS Ghost Train Power 🔹⊱╮🔹╰⊰🔹 GROW Started 03.10.24 INFORMATION 🔹╰⊰´🔹⊱╮🔹 🌞Environment - Maintaining 80F and 65%Humidity 🌾Training - The girls are recovering from last week's Pruning and Defoliation, ⚱️2-Gallon 📊6.2 PH 💧 Feeding - Using Horti Bloom and Horti Cal 12-0-0 🌞Medic Grow Smart 8 760 Watts 🕷️ IPM - CannControl from Mammoth and Mosquito Bits as needed 🔹⊱╮🔹╰⊰🔹 PLANT UPDATES 🔹╰⊰´🔹⊱╮🔹 📝 Notes - I am still not getting the vertical growth that I want before I flip, so I changed my light cycle to 18/6 and will be doing another defoliation and pruning of a few side branching - remember I am looking for tall plants with little horizontal growth. 📝Fertigation injects fertilizers into an irrigation system to supply dissolved nutrients to crops. 🗓️04.20.24 Today, I flipped the ladies into flower. I Have let them veg out as much as I feel the grow space can handle. I am sure there will be a bit of pruning and super cropping in the near future. These girls will grow untouched other than the 2x daily fertilization, but I am switching out the Horti-Grow with the Horti-Bloom, feeding at Hort-Bloom @ 2.7 GRMS Per Gal and Horti-Cal @ 2.5 GRMS Per Gal. 🗓️04.21.24 Today fed with Hort-Bloom @ 2.7 GRMS Per Gal, and Horti-Cal @ 2.5 GRMS Per Gal. 🗓️04.22.24 Today fed with Hort-Bloom @ 2.7 GRMS Per Gal, and Horti-Cal @ 2.5 GRMS Per Gal. 🗓️04.23.24 Today fed with Hort-Bloom @ 2.7 GRMS Per Gal, and Horti-Cal @ 2.5 GRMS Per Gal. 🗓️04.24.24 Today fed with Hort-Bloom @ 2.7 GRMS Per Gal, and Horti-Cal @ 2.5 GRMS Per Gal. 🗓️04.25.24 Today fed with Hort-Bloom @ 2.7 GRMS Per Gal, and Horti-Cal @ 2.5 GRMS Per Gal. 🗓️04.26.24 Today fed with Hort-Bloom @ 2.7 GRMS Per Gal, and Horti-Cal @ 2.5 GRMS Per Gal. ╰⊰🔹╰⊰´🔹⊱╮🔹╰⊰🔹╰⊰🔹STRAIN INFORMATION🔹⊱╮🔹╰⊰🔹╰⊰🔹╰⊰🔹⊱╮ Powerful West Coast genetics Ghost Train Haze x Pellezino combine to create this exceptional Cali weed strain Ghost Train Power.

Hey guys :-) Unfortunately I had so much to do with the flowers that I hardly had time for the veggie update last week :-) I trained the ladies with LST and topping. I will do that for a while because you still have time until there is space in the bloom tent 😅. They were watered twice a week with 1-1.2 l each time (see table above for nutrients). Tomorrow they will be treated again with nematodes against tripse because I saw some in the vegi room 😡. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked. Have fun with the update 💚 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.thegratefulseeds.com/shop/feminized-seeds/limited-edition/blue-javaz/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

A whole square meter plant. It even fills the corners. I move the light over the canopy every few hours now... Defoliated the bottoms. Wondering if I should take the rest of the long stem leaves off but worried about shocking it. Will continue tucking if possible and removing as a last resort. Found out I been slowing it down, should have been runing it 2 holes up the big netpot that it was transplanted to. I was running it just below it, the whole time. Roots are starting to shape like the bucket and it is impossible to get out of the tent now. Up to 1.5 gallons a day since raising the water level. I only have 1 small fan and it stopped oscillating so I set it on the floor blowing upwards, now all the leaves dance around a little bit instead of a few being blown sideways.
