On day 56 my setup got another light. I took the Lumatek out and changed it for a second Mars Hydro TSL 2000. Now i can use more space in the tent and the light is spreaded way more even than before. I now got about 1000 PPFD at the canopy top and around 800-900 PPFD square. They are running at about 80 % atm. Each side is seperately dimmable and i can set the ankle relatively individually for each plant so i can better react to the different grow heights, which comes automatically with 4 different strains. She got a defoliation and another place to ripen up the lower part of the plant, just to see if it works. She has done her job as a crash test dummy extremly well, what a pleasure 😍

Welcome to my next grow/experiment! Really excited to grow my first Mephisto Genetics! I have too many options so my girlfriend picked these seeds to grow first. I have plans to top once and hopefully be successful at making a clone to reverse. From there I’d like to maybe make some F1, and S1 seeds as well as breed it with the cultivar sharing the tent: Fastbuds Amnesia Zkittlez. This freebie seed had a slower start but they all popped! Started off germinating on Saturday 2/3 by soaking the seeds in a cup of water for 24 hours before transferring to a wet paper towel. On Tuesday 2/6 tap roots were present (one was barely coming out) and they were moved to rapid rooter plugs and put into a humidity dome. On 2/11 they had sprouted up 1.5” and were transferred to the top fed RDWC system. Filled the reservoir following General Hydroponics 10 part chart at light strength and diluted by 50%. SE7000 is ~30” above at 40% providing ~270ppfd.

Had to move her to a smaller space with a weaker light. But she has the entire light to herself. I ended up giving her one more dose of cannacoco A and B and the pk 12/14 also by cannacoco. Will be flushing her with ph’s water at 6ish going forward. I may harvest her top buds first and give the lower buds some time to catch up.

Male plants have no place in the garden, as I have no need for reg pollen. You got fem pollen, hit me up looking at you @greenmachine. I am saddened by the sudden loss of this cultivar, but I will press on, never bitter, never looking back. I kill these plants off camera to keep it PG. Thanks for following the diary. And hey, thanks to @416fireman for starting and monitoring this contest. May not be here anymore, but I hope he checks in. Catch him on insta @416firemang

it grows so fast. The lower leaves are shaded and away from the light. So I cut them as the plant gets taller I really don't have a good setup to be able to clean my roots. I tried this week anyway. I watered each pot with 2L (not enough I think :/) of water at 450PPM PH: 7 then after I gave 1L of water at 900PM PH: 5.5. There was a big puddle in the room afterwards. But it wasn't that hard to clean up after all. In 5 minutes with a rag and a bucket ------------------------------------------------ -Daytime temperature: 24-29°C -Night temperature: 22-27°C -Humidity: 50-75% ( Too high but it's hard to lower it... I need advice please contact me if you have :) ) -Lamp: Mars Hydro FC3000. intensity 80% at 40cm from the top leaves -Room: Mars Hydro 100x100x180cm -Extractor: Mars hydro 402 CFM Max. power 3/10 -Substrate : 70% coco, 25% perlite, 5% vermiculite.

Sensi Seeds JACK HERER 31st December 2019 It's the Last day of the year and the little Jack Herer has a brand new home along with my other Photoperiod Plants. I erected a 3m x 2m x 1.8m Green House That completely covers the whole area. This Green house will serve a few purposes such as protection from any Rain during Flowering, Prying Eyes and Potential animal interference. Ive topped her now at the 5th node and other than that she's been left to her own devices to grow and thrive as she wishes. Speaking of wishes,,,, I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year and I will be back Next Week for another Update. ***** The Video is of a visit from some Wild Red Tailed Black Cockatoos *******

Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

Last phase of flowering now reducing ppms to 1050, RH to 55% and next week will be lowering wattage from 380 to approximately 300 which will help lower day time temps which will bring out any colours if she fades that way. Smells of cheetah piss with a sweet following.

So this week I decided to defoliate and lollipop . I wanted to wait like atleast some more days but I got bit worried they get to bushy and crowded and now I still have the same feeling afterwards but it looks a bit better to me . Next week I will add some bloom booster with every watering . I removed my humidifier now and think about some more and heavier defoliation and lollipopping but I will let them relax now . Super silver haze is stacking up insane while orange bud is forming some more pine like buds I’d say at this point . No big smells except the classic weed smell coming from the super silver haze . She’s qualifying for a solo grow for the next time for me like the gorilla cookies from fast buds wich I also liked a lot

Cal mag deffeciency. No problem I knew I would run Into it using soil nutes. Some rapid growth on most sherberts. Pink kush Is more stubborn and difficult but one of them seem to be thriving. Not sure why most pink kushs are just a bit slower. The seeds also seemed to NOT be germinating as fast as all the other strains. This is some really solid genetics so far with some rapid growth to them. Scrog installed 20 - 23 cm above the highest point of the pots. I will just them grow into the scrog and then train them into the trellis. I might raise the lights so they can stretch just a bit. Call mag issue was fixed very fast changing to Coco nutrients and i have some really healthy growth now at the end of week 4

Day 78: Was gone a almost week but everything survived. About time for me to harvest the small plant Clara. And the. I will be able to get River away from the light a bit more and do some super cropping. I still have some water in my reservoir but probably won’t change it until it empty. I have not checked PH but I will do that later today. Day 78 Update: I chopped down Clara and hung her in the drying tent. She had some amber trichomes and I really needed the room. Total weight with stems cut as short as I could I got 780g or 27.514 ounces wet. Now if it is true you get a 3rd of the dry weight and I remove 7 ounces from the Total for stems alone. That is still 20/3 = 6.66oz. This is my guesstimate. I will do a harvest week after I cut River down. Day 79: Well a little lonely without Clara but I think River is liking hit just fine. Moved her to the center of the tent and removed the trellis netting. I pushed her stems as far as I could but she still needs some super cropping and tie down to get her a bit further from the light source. Cleaned and refilled the reservoir last night with new Advanced nutrients and it PH’d itself to 6.1. Not sure how long river has but I believe this is at least her 4th if not 5th week flower. Day 80: I have not had to do a lot the last day or so so this is just a general daily update. River is getting way more light to her lower flower sites now and I am hoping they bulk up now. They look pretty scraggly right now but I had the entire plant bunched up to make room before. Reservoir PH’d at 6.23 this morning so I dropped it down to 6 for now and added H2O2. I wish I m we how much longer River had to flower but my guess is 3 weeks minimum. Day 81: nothing new to report today on autopilot until harvest. Day 82: Still not much to report as I am still hands off in the grow tent. I don’t even need to really check my reservoir much other than to see if it is almost empty. 🤷‍♂️🏻🤪 I did however, get to try out Clara for the first time. I clipped a bus from one of the lower branches that felt the driest. It smokes really smoothly even without the cure. Day 83: So fat today I trimmed and started the cure for clara’s flowers today. I am curing in a 1/4lb grove bag. She yielded 92g for a little over 3 ounces. And 1.5 ounces of fluff and sugar leaves. Day 84: Still adding new pistils daily and the lower buds are gaining weight and are about the size of golf balls to popcorn, but they are starting to take off. Main buds are short but very dense to the touch. Filled the reservoir with fresh nutrients last night and we should be in auto pilot for the next week is so. Day 85: Today is the last Day of week 11 and I believe the end of week 4 flower for River? Could be 5 not sure. Still not a lot to report as I am still just letting everything ride on autopilot. I hope it goes better than Tesla’s self driving cars. Finally got a pic of one of Rivers lower buds that are starting to take off. I am thinking if they are still going by the time the tops are done I am going to try a partial harvest. However that means I can’t do a proper flush. What’s more important a proper flush that has a lot of debate around it as to its usefulness or a good yield of properly ripened flower? Day 86: Still on autopilot every is looking Milhouse. Day 87: autopilot just added some H2O2 to the reservoir. Took a lower golf ball size flower to dry and test.
