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! 😊

Banana purple punch - 420 fast buds Looking so healthy now, early stages she almost didn’t make it but now she’s covered in purple buds , shining with thricomes , frosted all over and smells like berries and tropical sort of profile with gassy earthy notes also. I am excited to smoke her in 3/4 weeks time DRSHOTZUK @420fastbuds

🎅 So, as for the smoke after 30 days of harvest day. Biscotti Mints have a high concentration of THC, definitely above 25%, you can feel it. Beginners should exercise caution. -The taste, I wouldn't exactly call it mint. It's similar to peppermint, but it doesn't taste like mint, it tastes like flowers. Bottom line, the taste is similar to pepper flowers. -The effect is only evening, not daytime. It will be good for an evening relaxation or in the company of friends. -The appearance is something beautiful. Everyone who saw him liked him. Dense, stone buds, green-violet color.

- 17-05-21 (Day 1) // // - 18-05-21 (Day 2) three of the girls got out of the soil correctly!😊 while the Runtz sprout is the only one that still remains in its seed despite she already opened it for 2/3 day now..🤔 its root seems to struggle to grow or pierce the soil .. I'm helping her by keeping the humidity higher since I put this bag, we'll see what happens 🤷‍♂️🏻 ..Any advice will be welcome 🙏🏻 as always have a nice day and happy growing to everyone! 😊☮️💚 19-05-21 (Day 3) ..Unfortunately the Runtz Muffin is dead, was unable to come to life like her little sisters. After three days, i tried to help her removing her seed husk.. but there was nothing to do 😢 So here is a new start!! 😊 I put this Lemon Tree “Freebie” seed to germinate aaand to replace the poor Runtz Muffin. 😕🙌🏻 We'll see how it goes this time.. 🤞🏻🍀 Sending positive vibes for you and your garden ☮️💚 20-05-21 (Day 4) All the girls are doing great and continuing their grow. The Lemon Tree is doing great too with its germination, that in just six hours the seed has opened! Now I’ll wait that the sprout grow a tiny root of (1,5/2cm) at least, to pass it into the soil. Happy grow fam. Stay smoky 😙💨 21-05-21 (Day 5) With today the girls are in their fifth day of growth. 🙌🏻 Bio-heaven (amino-acids) added to the recipe (1ml/1L) As you know after the death of Runtz Muffin, I have been germinating the Lemon Tree for two days now, today is the third day for her after an excellent germination, I have transferred it from the paper towel to the soil to make it grow. Let’s see how she will grow, Despite being a week behind, I hope she grows strong, healthy and fast🤞🏻 Have a good weekend, lift up and relax. Peace ☮️ 💚 22-05-21 (Day 6) The Lemon tree is officially out of the soil, ready to grow! 🙌🏻💚 The other girls are fine, they are on their sixth day of life and they love the environment where they are growing up. ..Plus they are always listening to music (Lo-Fi) 24/7 ☺️ I hope they like it.. 🤷‍♂️🏻😆 That's all for today. Have a good weekend gromies!! 🧑🏻‍🌾👩‍🌾🏻☮️💚 23-05-21 (Day 7) Today last day of the first week for the girls and first day of life for the Lemon Tree! The nourishment for them is always the same, except for the Lemon Tree which for the moment I am just spraying water to irrigate it. ..In this round I expect great things! Happy growing to everyone! ☮️💚

This week went pretty good, the flowers are getting super sticky and smell amazing, but they're packing on quite as much weight as I hoped. I had a friend over who told me it looked like I was growing a tree in a solo cup, so I think I might run these same genetics back next and pot her up from a solo cup to a 3 gallon pot, get the manifold built, then pot up to a 12.5 gallon air pot. I am going to take the wife on a couple vacations or "holidays" as most of you would say. But yeah I plan to run the same genetics, same training, same lights, everything and see what kind of difference a larger pot alone can make. Anyways not much left for me to do until harvest, I am watching the trichomes closely, I will probably start the flush within a week or so. Thanks for stopping by, be safe and blaze on.

Auto Purple Hulk Auto by MSNL Outside 👉Sponsored Grow👈 W8F4 8/3-9 I wish I could share this week’s weather with you. It was sunny and comfortable in the 70-80s with 50% humidity. This means that whatever the temperature is, the air feels like it, not 10-15 degrees hotter. My Purple Hulk Auto is my tallest lady and has good node spacing so there is space for air flow. I removed all the larfy buds on the lower limbs. The developing buds are showing purple. Looking at the bud structure, the leaves are tight throughout. This may be a concern for bud rot if the rain and humidity return. I’ll keep a close watch, but so far, she is easy to grow and resistant to fungus and pests. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Let’s continue to learn to grow together! Stay green, growers love 💚🌿, 💫Natrona💫

Englischversion below Deutsch: Tag 16 Veg: LST und Topping sind die Schritte die jetzt anstehen. LST muss täglich wenn nicht sogar mehrfach täglich ausgeführt und kontrolliert werden, um zu gewährleisten, dass die gewünschte Pflanzenstruktur erstellt wird. Wie auf den Bildern zu sehen ist, hat die Dame vorne links weniger Triebe. Beim Training hat sich einer bereits verabschiedet (Durch Unachtsamkeit) und ein Trieb entwickelte sich einfach nicht und wurde entfernt. Beim LST versuche in jeden Trieb in eine eigene Richtung zu biegen und dann senkrecht zum Boden auszurichten. Ich warte noch 2 Tage bis zum nächsten Topping - zum einen, damit der Stress auf die Pflanze verteilt wird, zum anderen weil der Wachstum einiger Triebe der schwächeren Pflanzen noch nicht so weit sind. der VPD liegt zwischen 0.44 und 0.68 - für die frühe Wachstumsphase ideal - das ist auch am Wachstum der Pflanzen zu erkennen. Tag 17 Veg: Heute früh wurde zum 2ten Mal, diesmal an der ersten entstandenen Nodie, getoppt. Nur bei den Obeneren Trieben wurde gewartet, da diese noch zu jung waren. Warum habe ich trotzdem die unteren Triebe getoppt? - Erstmal macht es sinn den hohen Stress auf ein paar Tage zu verteilen, außerdem möchte ich eine Gewisse Struktur erreichen. Vor und nach der überliebenden Nodie sind Erdanker gesetzt um die Triebe in Position zu halten. Tag 19 Veg: Heute gibt es wieder ca. 1-1,2L Flüssigkeit mit 6,3 PH und 1ml Cal-Mag für jede Dame. Dabei wird das Wasser in 125ml Schüben nach und nach verabreicht, bis ein leichter Drain von ca. 100ml zu erkennen ist. Tag 20 Veg: Dem Wachstum der Pflanzen ist zu entnehmen, dass sie das letze Topping verarbeitet haben. Die neuen Seitentriebe legen nach und nach zu. Hier ist es wichtig, für eine Gute Struktur, regelmäßig mit LST zu intervenieren. Auf den Bildern von Heute sind die Pflanzten vor und nach dem LST zu sehen. Auch einige Blätter, die die Triebe bedecken, wurden entfernt. Die ganze Energie soll in den Wachstum der Triebe geleitete werden. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 16 – Vegetative Phase: LST and topping are the next steps to be carried out. LST needs to be performed and monitored daily, if not several times a day, to ensure that the desired plant structure is achieved. As can be seen in the images, the plant at the front left has fewer shoots. During training, one shoot was lost due to inattention, and another shoot failed to develop properly and was therefore removed. During LST, the goal is to bend each shoot into its own direction and then orient it horizontally to the ground. I am waiting another two days before the next topping. This is done partly to distribute stress more evenly across the plants, and partly because the growth of some shoots on the weaker plants is not yet sufficiently advanced. VPD is currently between 0.44 and 0.68, which is ideal for the early growth phase. This is also reflected in the visible growth of the plants. Day 17 – Vegetative Phase: Early this morning, topping was performed for the second time, this time at the first newly formed node. Only the upper shoots were left untouched, as they were still too young. Why were the lower shoots topped anyway? First, it makes sense to distribute the high level of stress over several days. In addition, a specific plant structure is intended to be achieved. Before and after the remaining node, ground anchors were placed to keep the shoots in position. Day 19 – Vegetative Phase: Today, approximately 1–1.2 L of liquid was applied to each plant, adjusted to a pH of 6.3 and supplemented with 1 ml/L Cal-Mag. The water was administered gradually in 125 ml increments until a slight runoff of about 100 ml was observed. Day 20 – Vegetative Phase: Based on the plants’ growth, it is evident that they have recovered from the last topping. The new side shoots are progressively gaining vigor. At this stage, regular intervention with LST is essential to establish and maintain a well-structured plant architecture. In today’s images, the plants are shown before and after LST. In addition, several leaves covering the shoots were removed so that energy is directed entirely toward shoot growth.

2-3 full node sets on the remaining 3. Ol' helmet did not make it. Still hand watering but getting the #autopot cleaned and ready for use. Mixed the buffered coco into some perlite. This big ol' hand-me0-down cooler is a must have!

I’ve been flushing the plants for a week now. The colas have definitely gotten fatter from last week. It’s looking like I’ll be harvesting in 1 more week. Pretty much all the trichomes are milky and I’m starting to get amber ones.

Blueberry Headband Grow Week 04 Flower Feb 29 In a state of transition. Started using 'Hygrozyme'. An enzyme that will supposedly keep my roots clean and root rot at bay. Wasn't quite the case. PH went up 10 fold and brown slime reappeared. Rinsed the roots, added more Hygrozyme and a dose of Tarantula tea. 24 hours later, PH is up the same. No sign of rot. RePHed and all is ok. Plants aren't blinking. Aroma is strong. Trichromes appeared last week and are everywhere, now! Little bundles of calyxes are all excited to pop out this coming week! Think this will be a 'beginners luck' grow. Trying to be diligent.

Frostbanger Plants 1-6 Week 12 June 8-14 FLOWER 7 Sadly, my journey with Frostbanger is almost over. This grow started as an unnamed FBA2502 tester strain completely unknown regarding growth habits, size, flavor profile or smoke effect. I used LST on two plants: #1 because she was leaning over so I decided to pin her down immediately. I decided to LST Plant #3 when I saw her nodes were short and stems were tight. To quote Fastbuds “Growers must know that these difficult-to-grow plants will pose specific challenges in terms of environmental control and nutrition” , making them best suited for cultivators with some experience under their belt. I mention this because 2 plants #4 & #5 always looked lighter than their counterparts. Having overfed in the past grows, I did not want to repeat the same mistake, especially when the other plants were lush and green and did not look deficient. I thought it was genetics, but I found out that these two plants probably had nutrient lockout and would have benefitted from a good flush. Overall, I didn’t make mistakes with overfeeding or over trimming. I had to manually control the environment since the ventilation went out. I did pretty good at maintaining a functional environment. Plants #2 & #5 developed pretty reds in their upper buds and leaves probably because of the air conditioner. The A/C brought the night temperatures to 65-68. This week I am flushing with an anticipated harvest this weekend. I did the last plant pictures and videos and trichome shots on each plant. I did preliminary defoliation removing the remaining fan leaves. For most of the sugar leaves I trimmed off the ends leaving the base with all the frost. These are going into the trim bag to be washed into bubble hash. I plan on pressing #5 because she is the frostiest. 6/9 PH 6.46 PPM 239, temp 68 2 ltr each 6/10 PH 6.6, PPM 230, temp 68 2ltr each 6/12 PH 6.4, PPM 242, temp 68.5 2ltr Thank you for sharing this journey with me and as aways, thanks for visiting, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿my friends. 💫Natrona💫
