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! 😊

Hola con esta semana ya quedamos al dia con el seguimiento ya que estaba atrasado en el tiempo. Se nota una producciΓ³n de resina notable en esta genΓ©tica que nos ha gustado mucho por su olor y estructura de las plantas . hemos creado un video por cada una de las 14 plantas del seguimiento, hay varias muy llamativas que estΓ‘n "pre-seleccionadas" para mantener a futuro, el olor que se llega a sentir es muy florar y dulce, si tienen alguna pregunta no duden en preguntar saludos. Hello with this week we are already up to date with the follow-up since I was late in time. There is a remarkable resin production in this genetics that we liked a lot for its smell and structure of plants. We have created a video for each of the 14 floors of the follow-up, there are several very striking that are "pre-selected" to keep in the future, the smell you get to feel is very flowery and sweet, if you have any questions do not hesitate to Ask greetings.

8/9 It didn't rain last night and there is no rain in the forecast so I lightly watered. I actually had a copper fungicide in my hand yesterday but decided against buying it after research saying it burn cannabis. I didn't research enough and I may end up going that route. I may also move the problem plant. We shall see. Instead I treated all plants early this morning with the amazing Dr. Zymes. I'll follow up with another form of treatment and see what happens. All around I can see foliage with septoria. Not around my grow but still. It's in the area. Burdocks, maple trees and other small foliage on the ground. I hate having to make decisions like this. Otherwise plants seem to be doing great. Definitely transitioning to flower. Found moth eggs and damage on inner leaves in the pm. 8/10 No water today as the plants were soaked. It rained last night. 68 at 9am. This morning I defoliated and really got on the inside of my plants. I wanted to see if I could find what was damaging leaves. I found an earwig on a plant. That makes me fairly certain they are responsible for the sporadic damage I'm finding. Lower branches have some small leaves dying and in a couple spots it looks like the ate off a bud site. It was were I would've lollipoped but still. I think another application of Spinosid may be needed. Plants are definitely in flower with the dreamcatcher's leading the bunch with small little buds formed. Flowering seems much later than the strains I grew last year. I need to go in the cage at night with some kind of light to see what's going on then. pH meter wouldn't read. 8/11 It had rained earlier but it's been so hot that the plants needed water. I watered but not thoroughly as pots weren't completely dried out. I didn't see any earwigs. I was prepared this time with a spray bottle with dawn. That is supposably supposed to kill them on contact. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to test it. I did find a jpn beetle this morning. I believe they may be responsibly for some of the damage I've noticed. I had a very early appointment this morning so I didn't get a chance to take any pictures or a chance to feed. Plants are definitely flowering. The seedling (I say seedling only because the others are clones) in the 50 gallon pot hasn't been watered as much and I'm not sure if I have been watering enough. I figured the rain would help but I noticed that the soil is very compressed and appeared dry before watering. I also had no idea how much the nutrients effect the pH of the water after added. I have the drops I use to measure pH but that's basically impossibly with big bloom murking the water all up. Also I don't think the plant I was going to cull has leaf septoria. I think it's just been ravaged by pests and has white powder mildew. I will continue to monitor. Temps are supposed to be very high the next few days. 8/12 Fed two gallons to the garden today. Used tiger bloom as I think it plays better. I'll use the Kool bloom though. I do need to say my plants were much further along by now last year. Different strains though. Added a pinch of pH up but it appears the pH is fine after mixing my nutes. Rained AGAIN last night. All this rain brings the earwigs out to climb plants. I included a picture of the damage. I need to do another app of Spinosid it appears. Then alternate with a spray treating the wpm that I see. It's a bad year for mildew. UPDATE 90 degrees out at 2pm. Defoliated the dead spots inside and looked to see what kind and how much damage from ear wigs. It's all minor but still. A few lower branches (bottom that probably should've been clipped) have shoots that are damaged. At spots it appears the earwigs lollipopped the stem. Nothing up high or middle though. Buds are developing and they (luckily) haven't gotten there. I've tried a few things already but today I put petroleum jelly on all my stocks and supports so hopefully those little bastards can't get up to the plant. If the rain laid off it would probably be better. Not a single aphid though and no signs of typical cannabis pests so I guess it's a little give and take. Made a video but will have to upload later. 8/13 Didn't water this morning. A storm came through at 6pm last night. Torrential rain and high winds but no damage. Found more moth eggs and two spots where leaves were rolled up with webbing and inch worms emerged when opened. Other growers suggested the damage could be from inch worms so I think before I do much else I'll apply BT tonight.today is going to be even hotter than yesterday. 85 at 9:30. Will update as I progressed. Added a video. 8/14 Watered this morning as it's been dreadfully hot. In the 90s with super high humidity. Found another leaf with moth eggs and a inch worm crawling on a bud. I did a treatment of BT this morning that I hope will take care of things. Plants look amazing. Walking down to the cage I get hit in the face with a pungent skunky smell. Plants are huge and seem to be flowering more everyday. Strange the amount of difference I notice in just a days time. 8/15 No water today as it rained yesterday off and on and soil was damp. Plants are flowering nice with dreamcatcher in the lead and ice cream cake bringing up the rear. Everyday the little buds seem a little bigger. I will probably need to do another application of BT since it rained yesterday. Still finding some lower branches stripped of new growth shoots where a bud site should be. I don't know if inch worms are capable of this or whether it's earwigs. I WILL find out though. I'll go out LATE tonight and look with a flashlight and spray bottle. Smell is incredible. As long as we have a nice September and a warm fall this is going to be a good year. It got down to like 50 last night but it was 90 yesterday. These plants are resilient to take temp changes like that without it phasing them.

This brings the Journal up to speed. So going to start the 48 hour FLush this upcoming Sunday as well as going to move it to 48 hours of light insted of 48 hours of darkness. Then straight into the Freeze dryer to bring it down to 60% humidity in the bud and then to the curing jars. Going to be Timber 2 days into Week 9 of FLower. 1/20/2023 Week 8 (Day 5)- Flower- Day 107 overall T - 2 days until start 48 hour Flush T - 2 days until Start 48 hours of Light T - 4 days until TIMBER!!! 1/22/2023 Week 8 (Day 7) -FLower- Day 109 Overall Flush Day and 48 hours of Light. I subscibe to Dr. Bruce Bugbee's suggestion that production is under light instead of under darkness so I no longer do 48 hours of Darkness, I go 48 hours of light before Chop, sending my plants on a marathon run before I Cut. Here is Dr. Bruce on basics of lighting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID9rE5JewVg T-2 days until TIMBER

I defoliated a lot of the under canopy today so I could move the scrog net upwards. These girls just had to stretch and stretch their legs. And, yes, the smell on my fingers after handling them was intensely citrus. I only gave them a little water this week as the air has been very moist and the soil has been damp enough.

The thunderstorms finally came to an end and the coming week will bring some sunny days. In the last few days I noticed that some ladybugs got attracted by my plants. They are welcome to stay for a long time. The rodent, which I mentioned in the last week, didn't cause any new damage to my plants. The remaining damage is healing properly. Size difference between all plants: Plant 1: ~100cm Plant 2: ~100cm Plant 3: ~80cm

It was a great week for this Sour D pheno. She is really starting to fatten up now and is noticeably different after every dark period in terms of the size of her flowers. She is getting tricky to move to the shower where I normally water so she will likely not move again until she is cut. This makes the watering process more tedious but it is a necessary evil to avoid any unwanted mishaps this late in the game. I already caused her to lean a bit from swaying back and forth carrying her across the room during the last fertigation. The buds still dont have a hugely pronounced smell (like I'd expect from Sour D) or much trichome coverage but I am reassured by the fact that she seems to be a late bloomer and is apparently just starting to take off in terms of flower production. I've only seen a scant number of orange pistils so I think she still has several weeks to go. If she starts to take on that characteristic gassy smell as puts on some frost so I can press her into decent rosin, I'll be more than happy with this run when it's all said and done. Thanks for following along! Do me a favor and click "Like" if you like what you see here and let me know what you think in the comments. Cheers! πŸŒ±πŸ‘Š

soo... today is flush day.. i uploaded one photo out of 100 of the trichomes because it was hard to find a good spot and take the photo because my hand kept on moving a milimiter to the side and whole focus would be gone.. but there is alot of milky ones starting to appear and i decided im going to go for mostly milky ones as my cookie went for the sativa side and i enjoy head high, she smells sweet like grandmas carmel candies and she smells stroong.. i recommend this strain 100% for fruity sweet smelling bud lovers im sure if i had better light and more experience in growing Autos I would pull alot more weight on that girl and hopefully i will do it next time ! im planning on upgrading soon and growing this strain again because she is just too good thanks for all the support πŸ‘Š i will also update on how she tasted and i will update the wet and dry weight when she is ready.πŸ˜‚

We had a couple unseasonably warm days this week, our wood furnace was going when the temps went up. The tent hit 27.5 degrees one day?, which resulted in the heat damage to the leaves. The leaves are also starting to die back faster. I have a feeling they may determine my harvest day instead of my trichomes. Still only some amber, maybe 5-10%, the rest are cloudy with very, very few clear

*****Week 14 growth – March 6 to 12, 2021 – Week 5 flower ****** This girl keeps chugging along. Her resin rails are looking awesome. A little dark green maybe but not worried. Looking for some bud swelling to kick in!! Bud Fusion being introduced this week. Into the last phase of feeding during flower now. Nitrogen is continued to be reduced as its late flower. Keeping up the feeding ppm this week as we are getting to the end. May be pushing them a little more than I should but finding out how they react for next run. Still continuing to play with the light intensity and seeing how the girls react to my environment conditions when pushed harder. Could have backed off and stayed with 100, 300, 600, 900 PAR levels at the different stages but I have trying to go a little higher in the late stages and going over 1,000 PAR. Little more detail….. Mar 6/21, Day 29 - Dry out day - Changed light cycle to 11/13 today to help with light intensity and reducing DLI. - Light power reduced to 425 watts Mar 7/21, Day 30 - Keeping up the feeding but reducing nitrogen. - feeding with micro – 1.5, bloom – 2.5, ult B – 0.5, carbs – 1, B Storm – 2, S Storm – 2.5, Bud Fusion 0.15gr/l, Terp – 1.5, Jet Fuel – 0.5, Rezin 1 - 1150ppm and 6.0pH - 2.5L Mar 8/21, Day 31 - Watering with 2L feed from yesterday and 16L plain water - Over shot the pH - 400ppm and 5.9pH Mar 9/21, Day 32 - Feeding again with Grow – 0.5, Micro – 1, Bloom – 1.5, Carbs – 1, Magnifical – 1 - Didn’t add many of the supplements - 875ppm and 6.0pH - 2.5L Mar 10/21, Day 33 - Middle of the week and just giving some enzymes today - Enzymes – 1.5ml - 300ppm and 6.1pH - 3L Mar 11/21, Day 34 - Microbes again today - Tap water with Jet Fuel – 1ml, Terpinator – 2ml, Nature’s Candy – 1.5ml, Rezin – 1ml, Ultimate B+ - 0.5ml, Recharge – 1tsp/gal - 800ppm and 6.0pH - 3L Mar 12/21, Day 35 - Dry out day - Been feed a couple of times this week so work with ΒΎ strength next week.

Harvest day 66 since time switch to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) Finally it's time πŸ’š The lady is done the large leaves have been removed and hung upside down to dry in the dark drying room. You can now stay there for 13-15 days at a temperature of 18-20 degrees and 55-62% humidity. After 13-15 days it is neatly trimmed by hand and placed in jars with boveda packs 62. After 4 weeks Boveda 58% come in and are ready for testing ;-). After everything has been cut cleanly, the last update comes with the smoke report and the finished pictures. Let's get to the plant πŸ’š. First of all I would like to compliment Green House for this genetics. Unfortunately, the rating system at Growdiaries is a bit strange because I have to give the stars before the Smoke Report and in the end it might have led to more stars in terms of taste. The growth was great from start to finish. She had no problems at all and also had no problems with animals πŸ‘. I'm amazed at the great smell the beautiful buds give offπŸ˜€. Of course I cut cuttings and if the taste is as good as the smell it will be grown again ☺️. A final report comes with the Smoke Report. Until then, I would like to say thank you to the whole Green House team and wish you all the best fun with the diary πŸ’šπŸ™πŸ» Have fun and stay healthy πŸ’šπŸ™πŸ» πŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌ β€˜Powered by GreenHouse Feeding’ Copy the link for 10% off all Nutrients πŸ‘‡πŸΌ http://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/ affiliate/madelngermany_passiongrower/ πŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌ Water πŸ’§ πŸ’§πŸ’§ Osmosis water mixed with Cal/Mag (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 290 ppm and Ph with Ph- to 5.8 - 6.4 MadeInGermany

420 Fastbuds Week 9 Gorilla Cookies Auto Week 9 update for these two temperamental girls. They absolutely did not like the feeding I gave them a few feds back. Over all besides the yellow and crispy leafs they appear to be growing good. I'm only going to give them maybe two more weeks before they get the chop.
