Reducing humidity in night time below 50% , humidifier rise temperature to 22-23c at night
Day RH is 53%, in first two hours keeping temps and humidity lower to reduce deferential form night time to 1-2c
Don't want to have more than 10-15cm off stretch in next week
Girls drink more water and nutrients every day, think around 10-12l per day
Managing EC strength with adding slightly higher nutrients solution when top up tank. Overall its around 0.9-1.0EC for most of the time
PH is stabile , slowly rise in small increments. Need to adjust @ 6.2 to 5.9 every two-three days. Probably i will leave it to swing even more.
Diablo is at 80% power @ 45-55cm from top canopy, 900+PPFD in center, lowest corners get 650+

Remove some large fan leaves from all girls. Nothing crazy. Next week is final BIG defoliation and pruning
Clean room benches a little bit after defoliation.
Whole week all girls are doing great , no sign off any kind off stress or deficiencies. Superb fast growth.
Stretching is more apparent in the end off this week. Next week is going to be madness!
18.03.2024
Raise light 10cm , adjusting to canopy level..

Week 2 off Flowering in Summary
100l off RO water
190ml+190ml AN connoisseur A+B, 15g Big Bud Powder
70kW electricity in total for light, Pumps and AC Infinity Fans. 58kW for Light + 8kW Dehumidification + AC Infinity ventilation
Week start @ 1.14EC, nutrient strength. Strength dropping every day by 0.1-0.2. Topping up tank with 1.2EC solution bring back strength to 0.9-1.0EC
Start using AN Big Bud powder for day two off this week. For next slowly reducing Nitrogen and add more Big Bud. Next week start @ 1.2EC
Girls look superb all time, Tropicana Cookies is short and bushy with lots off side branching. Need good defoliation next week .
Flowering going nicely, obvious sign off formation off bud sites, pistils have shown an all girls.
PH was stabile and move from 5.85 min to 6.2 max. Swing all week without chasing perfect number.
Light distance start at 65cm from canopy finish week at 45-50cm , PPFD levels around 800-940 in center, trough whole week
Temperature vary slightly from 23c at start off day to 26c max at some points. AC Infinity T6 extracting fan program in AUTO to kick in @ 26c
Night temps around 21-23c, dehumidifier start to work at night time to bring down humidity, trying also to minimize Day/Night temperature differential for this week also
Continue in next week at same environment settings and light strength..

Everything is looking great ๐
The top buds getting more and more wonderful colours and man they are dense at hell!!!
The overall size of the buds is not the best but in the next 1-2 weeks (maybe 3) I expect that they will get finally fat like a kid in the Hersheyโs factory.
I just ordered a better fan which will come in the upcoming days. I hope that will help with the bud rot prevention.
Letโs hope for the best and happy growing

Hello friends! ๐
Thank you to everyone who stops by and shows interest in this beautiful Biscotti Mintz!๐
๐ฟSo week 4 of flowering has come to an end. The second stage of the big, long-awaited defoliation.
-80% of leaves and extra branches were removed.
-We remove Bud Factor X from the diet for one week, because it artificially causes stress in the plant to produce oils. We'll add it again in a week.
-A humidifier has been installed. It is necessary to achieve humidity +- 85% for about 5 days, while recovering from defoliation.
-No problems or deficiencies were found in the plant.
See you later! ๐๐ค

We are in flower ! Trainwreck is doing great, the defoliation delivered the shape I wanted like always, simple training but can change the plant shape a lot.
The flower stretch went super well, I think she will stretch a bit more but should be almost done.
I cleaned the lower branches completely to avoid any problems down below, better airflow and less risk for Pm etc.
Still not using any nutrients, all living soil from Sonnenerde.

I started LST for the first time! After just two days, she looks amazing. Unfortunately, one branch broke while I was trying to move it it
While the broken branch didnโt make it, it's okay because it was topped and got two new shoots coming up ,
Additionally, I accidentally topped another branch when I put the pot back in the tent.

Manca 1 settimana al raccolto, devo anticipare il raccolto per colpa dei parassiti, non riesco piรน a tenerli sotto controllo solo defogliando.
Vedo comunque i tricomi lattiginosi quindi il momemto ideale della raccolta nin sarebbe troppo lontano.
Finirรฒ questa settimana annaffiando solo con acqua, e il prossimo fine settimana lascierรฒ 30 ore di buio prima del raccolto.

I am feeding with tps one and CalMag oac one time, then itโs back to regular tap water (well water) that comes at 8.5 pH with 156ppm of tds. The feed was approx a pH of 6.5. More importantly is the consistent soil pH which appears fixed at 6.8
I know itโs lazy! Howeverโฆ. I have noticed doing this to reveal to me that the soil pH is very stubborn and not easily changed by the pH of the water alone. Stuff in the water can definitely have an impact. But still, most feed waters I use donโt change the soil ph. I do make sure the pH is within a healthy range for soil, something between 6 and 7 I figure is ideal. Iโve found if there is enough lime in the mix, and as long as I donโt over feed soluble nutes, then the soil pH appears stable and fixed. With enough lime in the mix, I can ultimately arrest the soil pH at 7. Itโs really cool. I thought adding too much lime would give me something potentially alkaline, and maybe it will. But Iโve added lots of lime before and still havenโt gotten past 7 pH. Maybe I didnโt add enough to go further? Nevertheless Iโm not interested in going past 7.
I havenโt seen any issues with the speed of growth watering with 8.5 tap water, surprisingly. As Iโve said the soil pH would read 6.8 before and immediately after watering with the 8.5 tap. Soโฆ.. Iโm thinking the stability of the soil pH is a positive indication that the microbes are not being subjected to pH shifts, or at least nothing substantial.
I mean, at the end of the day when things are looking good, I feel like I must have something right.

I did a little defoliation during water changes. โ๏ธ๐
Cutting back on the nutes now.๐
Really hoping these babies fatten up some more before the flush.๐บ ๐ฝ
I read up on flowerbomb kush onl seedsman.com says nott the highest yielding strain but I'm keeping my Hope's high on this one. ๐ค๐
The top nugs look ๐ฅ and still 14 days before the chop.

The Drainmaster moved into the tent to control the drain.
Defoliated and lollipopped them.
25.08
First run with the drain system.
Nutrient Solution (Tank):
Volume: 8.5 L
EC: 3.05
pH: 5.5
Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients Micro/Grow/Bloom + CalMag
Irrigation Run:
Pump time: 30 minutes
Total Drain: 5.0 L (โ 60%)
Drain EC: 2.6
Drain pH: 6.0
๐ Observations
Drain volume was far too high (target is ~20%).
Drain EC lower than input EC โ medium was relatively โemptyโ, plants absorbed nutrients quickly.
pH drift from 5.5 โ 6.0 shows some buffering effect left in the reused substrate, but limited.
Substrate behaves more like coco than soil now (low buffer, fast response).
๐ก Insight / Lesson Learned
30 minutes pump time is way too long โ resulted in 60% runoff instead of 20%.
For 8 ร 1 L pots, a single irrigation event should be ~1.0โ1.2 L total, with ~200โ250 ml runoff.
Solution: shorten pump time to ~5 minutes and re-test runoff.
Better approach: run shorter, more frequent irrigations (daily) with a lower EC (2.0โ2.2), instead of heavy feedings (EC 3.0) only 3ร per week.
This will keep EC more stable in the root zone and prevent salt buildup in the tiny 1 L pots.
27.08
Adjusted the pump timer to 5 minutes, gave the first dose of PK13/14.

Flowering day 37
since time change
to 12/12 h.
Hey guys :-)
The buds have developed incredibly nicely this week.
The smell is getting more and more extreme :-) .
The whole plant itself looks perfect ๐.
The growth has slowly stopped as the full energy goes into the production of the buds.
This week it was watered 3 times with 1.2 l each (nutrients see table above)
They were individually inspected and checked for their health.
Osmosis water for the coming week was refilled in a 100 l tank ๐.
Have fun reading the diary and stay healthy ๐๐๐ป

Ha sido una de las mas productivas de las 8 que tenia en el pequeรฑo armario.
Voy a repetir esta cepa en mi siguiente cultivo ya que me ha encantado.
