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! 😊

Beide Mutanten machen sich wirklich sehr gut. Anfang der 5. Woche wurde umgetopft, wurde auch wirklich Zeit wie man sieht. Ist wirklich super durch gewurzelt😎 3 Tage nach dem umtopfen wurde dann auch schon getoppt. Habe mich natürlich dafür entschieden, dass ich die 3 Triebe von der Mutation mitnehme um so 7 Haupttriebe zu erhalten. Es sind tatsächlich 7 da die ersten beide Triebe an Nodie 1 auch sehr gut ausgewachsen sind und nicht unterentwickelt. Wenn die Muatenten weiter so wachsen wird nächste Woche schon wieder getoppt. Umtopfen und topping hat sie wirklich mehr als gut vertragen👍🏼

Hello, friends! It's been an exciting second week of flowering in the Anesia run, and I can't wait to share all the amazing progress with you. Our lovely ladies are well into their flowering stage, and the changes are spectacular! The transition from vegetative growth to blooming is always thrilling, and this week has been no exception. We've adjusted the nutrient mix to support their flowering needs. Here’s what’s been on the menu: Regulator: Keeps plants stress-free and promotes healthy growth. CalMag Boost: Ensures they get enough calcium and magnesium for robust bud development. Top Booster: Enhances flower production and increases the number of bud sites. P Boost: Provides the phosphorus needed for energy transfer and flowering. Watering pH: Maintained at 5.8 to ensure optimal nutrient uptake. TDS: Held steady at 420, giving them the perfect balance of nutrients. The Anesia Beauties 🌟 Each plant is showing unique characteristics, and it's fascinating to watch them develop their own personalities. The buds are starting to form nicely, and the aroma is beginning to fill the air. Future #1: This strain is living up to its hype, with dense bud formation and a vibrant green color. Zoomiez: Looking strong with vigorous growth and promising flower sites. Apricot Oreo: Developing beautifully with a sweet fragrance that’s already noticeable. Red Banana Pudding: The solo survivor is a true champion, showing great resilience and structure. Training Techniques This week, I focused on some light defoliation and training to ensure optimal light penetration and air circulation. These techniques are crucial for maximizing yield and preventing mold or mildew. Maintaining the perfect environment is key. Temperature is kept at a steady 25°C, ensuring the plants are comfortable and stress-free. Humidity levels are carefully monitored to avoid any issues during the flowering stage. I've captured some stunning shots of the girls in full bloom, which I'll be sharing on Instagram. The sight of those trichome-covered buds is truly a feast for the eyes. A huge thank you to: Anesia Seeds for these amazing genetics. Aptus Holland for providing top-notch organic nutrients. Future of Grow LED for the incredible lighting that keeps our garden thriving. Grow Diaries for the platform to document and share our journey. The Grow Diaries Community for your constant support and inspiration.

14.10.2022 56 days from seedling. This beauty hasn't stretched anymore but she looks amazing. Slight increase in flowering nutes. She is consuming more amount of water in irrigation. The plant is a little dark green so I took a few more days to fertilize. The buds are gaining weight at a good pace, I can already see the size of some trichomes by eye. Good weekend to everyone. Happy growing 💚🌱🙏

This week, I continued growing 4 WestCoast OG plants. The plants are feeling better day by day and have reached 78 days since planting the seeds. The care routine included: Watering every other day, 1 liter per plant. The water solution contained flowering fertilizer NPK 3-5-8 (10 ml/L) and organic super-concentrate fertilizer (5 ml/L). I noticed that the flower buds on the closer plants have significantly enlarged. The further plant, which was lagging in flowering, has caught up and now reaches a height of around 45 cm, with small 10 mm diameter flowers. One interesting observation - I found a mutation on one of the leaves, from which a small flower is growing that is not increasing in size. Next week, I plan to: Continue watering the plants with the same fertilizer solutions. Stop spraying the leaves to avoid the risk of mold on the buds. Closely monitor the temperature, as it's starting to drop outside and the room is not insulated. If the temperature falls below 18°C, the plant growth may slow down. Overall, the plants continue to develop at a good pace, and I expect to be able to harvest in 10-14 days.

Days 67 - 73 (from seed) 4/8/24 - 4/14/24 Lamp distance: 12" @ 75% power (estimate 800+ PAR from highest point of canopy) VPD: leaf surface temperature averaging 68-72 degrees - humidity set to 45% Feed schedule: Each plant receiving slowly downward now to 1/3 gallon water daily + once a week feeding schedule and additional FPE every third day IPM: visual inspection only, no foliar Notes: Flowers are really swelling up this week. All plants in the tent now showing signs of senescence with Cookies & Berries just barely fading. As the week went on their need for water has slowly diminished back down to roughly 1/3 gallon a day, but a day or two in there they also received their 1/2+ gallon daily. Usually can tell how much watering they need by lifting the pots and determining by weight/feel, or if there's any water run-off but that is quite uncommon/undesirable. Hot Damn! currently reeking the most out of them all, lots of sweet funk when you just get near it. Vanilla Fizz has a very mellow smell check until you do rub it then it's a cheesy/funk bomb. Cookies & Berries seems to have the lightest appearance of resin coverage and the least nose out of the tent - but when you rub it the resin is very very tacky and smells of chemical citrus fruit, maybe pine. Mango Sky is fairly mellow too but after touching the flowers it's bold and sticky, smells like menthol (to me, but not unanimous) and tropical fruits.

Day 78 from seed This week was a big learning curve as may have dodged a bullet and improved yield . Finally changed res after 3-4 weeks thinking I could get through to harvest I was wrong ppm was spiking to 2200 after multiple water top ups Figured plant wasn’t up taking nutes and had some sort of lockout , ph dropping aswell 5.5 ish Res was salty all over , was way over due , note to self add nutes gradually to reach desired ppm, I gave her what little nutes I had left ( could have more ) Settled around 1000 , seemed to uptake them in two days to settle around 750 , ph at recommended 6.3 , buds changed within a day ! Had to tie her up as she was leaning badly after res change, may invest in a pump to make things easier. Look to be ripening , putting on weight ; pistils browning :)

Tag 9 seit Keimung. Der Keimling hat den Umzug in die DWC-Anlage gut überstanden und scheint sich wohlzufühlen. Die Beleuchtung liegt bei 250 µmol/m²/s, die Nährstoffzufuhr ist minimal, der pH-Wert stabil bei 5,7. Luftfeuchtigkeit liegt bei 60-65%, die Temperatur bei 27°C. Alles in allem ein positiver Start!

Esta semana los nutrientes siguen de la misma manera, es notorio el exceso de Nitrogeno por ende se disminuira en los próximos riegos, se realizaron podas apicales en los clones que no les hice anteriormente para que alcanzaran más altura. Dentro de esta semana instalare la malla scrog Kanovi para guiar los vigorosos brotes. Además esta semana ya esta retomando el crecimiento la planta madre variedad Tangie la cual cumplió su ciclo de propagación por esquejes y porfin florecerá. Leo comentarios, opiniones y recomendaciones

7.14.25 Harvest finally here! It’s been a slow grow like waking in quicksand! Quality buds but quantity was diminished by bad growing error in vegetative stage! Thank you for looking at harvest! Be back in a month or 2 with new grow!

The transition is officially happening—the plant has now fully entered the flowering phase!🌱 The stretch is kicking in, and it’s growing rapidly, really taking off this week. It looks incredibly healthy, with vibrant green leaves and strong development. Thanks to the LST, it has spread out beautifully, allowing for even light distribution and great bud site exposure. I’m really happy with how things are progressing and excited to see how the buds start forming in the coming weeks! This one is looking very promising.💪😎
