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! 😊

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 4 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics.

Girl Nr 1 is 33 cm high, Nr2 is 70 cm and girl Nr is 22 cm. Nr 2 has grown 20 cm the last 3 days. Look at the stem of girl Nr 2 😍 The girls are starting to smell a lot now. Its a intense smell in the grow room. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-16. Kl 10.00. The girls grow like crazy, i have to defoliate about 20 leafs a day. Nr 2 is 76 cm tall now, i wonder when she slows down?.

La tercera semana ha ido bien, han estirado menos de lo que quería debido al exceso de agua, aprendido para la próxima. 📅 Dia 22:🔹 Continuo con el Low Stress hasta que dejen de crecer. 📅 Dia 23:🔹Descanso ( no estoy en casa) 📅 Dia 24:🔹Riego según la tabla de nutrientes, EC 1500 , PH 6.3 y un drenaje del 10%. 📅 Dia 25:🔹Las dejo que terminen de estirar tranquilamente. 📅 Dia 26:🔹Descanso 📅 Dia 27:🔹Riego según tabla de nutrientes semana 4. Aplico toda la cantidad de la tabla, ya que con el CO2 comen mucho.

This week I kept on feeding as usual. Due to a few burnt leaf tips I then flushed the three bigger plants with 5l each, and got a run off around 1l each with a PH of 6.9 I will only use 40% to 50% of the recommended nutrients the next week and PH my feeding water to around 6.2 - 6.3 to compensate the high PH of the run off. Mid week 2 I also lollipoped the plant again and did a rather heavy defoliation. From now on I only want to get rid of leafs if really necissary By now I can see more pistils forming and flowering is starting slowly.

Hey guys, hope all is well ! Nothing much going on except the fact I have to break ice to get my water now lol . I’m just letting them try to find themselves a little on their own this week. I find one of the biggest advantages of indoor growing could also become a problem is that you spend way to much time staring through the window then opening it back up and playing with stuff !!!

Hello. This is the end of week 12 and the beginning of week 13 of veg. Everything is going good in here. The plants seem to have doubled since last week. They all got a gallon of food yesterday and were all reaching up this morning when I went in. Every few days I push the tips down under the next rung to spread these girls out more. I'll do some training on the 3 plants I've got going indoors this week. Ok. Have Fun. Chuck.

Update: Watering & Feeding Log "Today, I watered the two Bruce Banner 🥦 in the back with 2.4 liters each. The water was pH-adjusted to 6.34. As a preventive measure against pests, I added 1 million SF nematodes to the solution.😤 Nutrient Schedule (per Liter): • Hesi Bloom Complex: 2.3ml / L • Hesi Phosphorus Plus (PK): 1.2ml / L • Hesi SuperVit: 1 drop (as per instructions) • Plagron CalMag Pro: 0.8ml / L I skipped the Alfa Boost this time because it tends to lower the pH 🍋further than desired. Environment & Lighting: • LED Power: 88% 💡 • Light Intensity: ~730-825 PPFD • Distance to Canopy: 34cm" #Viparspectra #LED Grow

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! From/Desde: 05/08/19 || To/Hasta: 11/08/19 From day/Desde día: 14 || To day/Hasta día: 20 -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V2: From day 17 to 22 she has turned a quarter, 90º. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- One week more of normal and constant grow, i like the rythm she has growing as i feel she's having a good amount of time for developing the root system. I didn't noticed any weird colour, twirl or something like that, anyway this tent is not totally isolated from outdoors as is always semi-opened in my living room, and the door to my terrace is opened 24/7. She looks very healthy and equitative, also i think she has a perfect height to keep her growing at low height, just a bit over the pot once topped. Next week i will perform the first topping and prunning. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 08/08/19 - 3,000 ml with all week nutrients @ 1 E.C. PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- V2: De los días 17 a 22 de crecimiento la planta ha girado un cuarto de giro, 90º. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Una semana más de crecimiento normal y constante, me gusta el ritmo en el que crece pues me da la impresión de que está teniendo un tiempo excelente para desarrollar el sistema radicular. De momento no he notado ningún color o cosas raras en las hojas, aún así este armario de cultivo no está totalmente aislado del exterior ya que está siempre semi-abierto en mi salón, y la puerta de mi terraza está abierta 24/7. Se la ve muy sana y equitativa, también tengo la sensación de que va a coger el tamaño perfecto para mantener el crecimiento bajito, justo un poco por encima del tiesto una vez hecho el topping. La semana que viene realizaré la primera poda y el primer topping. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 08/08/19 - 3.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 1 E.C. PH5.8

Week 9 over This week the stretching totally came to an end so we can say she has officially entered her bulking phase. The buds are stacking up nicely and her drinking has increased a bit. I’m going in for a light defoliation and lollipoping to increase air circulation and redirect light where it will be needed the most. She smells delightful, some of the hairs are changing color but it’s a sign of maturity not ripening She still has some weeks to go⏱️ Week 10 here we come 👊🏾 Happy growing guys 💚
