Hello all, I hope you are all well and safe. end of week 5 and the buds are starting to get bigger Mid Flower Looks good still on the top dressing with the Sea Blast Bloom. It seems to be taking the Nuites without any burns. I used the last of the Sea blast bloom and the South Cascade Organics SLF-1002 they are both depleted on this last feeding. Gave them plenty of water over the last few days 91 in the tent the C02 has to be helping these high temps. The RH jumps after a good watering 65-75 range put on the Dehumidifier brought it back down to 50 in the tent. I hope the Dusting took now I have to wait for 4-6 more weeks for the Feminized seeds if any. They are starting to get frosty, I have been tempted to use other nuites in my line up but that would defeat the purpose of the grow. "all sample freebies" so that is what I will be sticking with the ROCK CARGO and FUL will still go to the end of the grow maybe in stronger amounts. This strain smells like SWEET BERRYS I can't explain it better that that. cheers

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

V8, supuestamente hoy haría transplante a los maceteros definitivos, pero, hace 3 días que las plantas están presentando hojas débiles y dobladas hacia abajo, en un principio pensé en que podría ser exceso de agua, pero creo que es exceso de nutrientes, básicamente exceso de nitrógeno, ya que las hojas están con un verde muy oscuro y algunas están presentando manchas color café. Así que hoy les hice lavado de raíz, con agua EC 0, hasta que el drenaje fue de cercano a 4 EC. Esperaré unos días a ver si se recuperan, si no, simplemente las eliminaré y empezaré de nuevo, ojalá se recuperen. V9, al final si era exceso de nutrientes/nitrógeno, menos mal que se recuperaron con el lavado de raíces, pensé que morirían, ahora veré como siguen para decidir si hago transplante hoy mismo. V10, se realizó trasplante a macetas definitivas y un riego suave. Las plantas están todavía en recuperación, esperaré unos días más para empezar el LST. V12, riego. V13, se realizó una pequeña defoliación y LST.

2.10.2024: Just moving along nicely one day at a time. 2.11.2025: Gave 32oz of water at 6.3ph. The plant is stocky and bushy. Due to the short stems and large fan leaves, the lower nodes aren't getting much direct light. I'm tempted to defoliate but a lot of seasoned vets say A) you shouldn't defoliate as a beginner and B) if the fan leaves act as "solar panels" i'm afraid that will stunt. 2.12.2024: Day 24. Steady as she goes. Temp at 74 and RH is 58%. First sign of white tips on new growth. After some research it could be the start of light stress/burn or something nutrient related OR it could be nothing and normal. I very much want to defoliate the two large fan leaves in between the 4th and 5th nodes as they are completely blocking the lower notes. Opted for tucking instead. 2.13.2024: Day 25 from seed. No change. Still have some white tips but only on the new top growth. Not much vertical growth still. Plant was dry today and felt light so i watered 64oz of 6.4.ph. Seems to be drinking faster now. Raised the light to 16 inches from top of the plant. 2.14.2024: Day 26. Moving along. No water, no light adjustment. 2.15.2024: Day 27 from seed. Plant is healthy for the most part. New growth on top have some white tips and i'm thinking its from light stress. Light is 18 inches from the top of the plant and still at 112 watts Few sets of large fan leaves are blocking the bud sites from light and its all over the place regarding development. I want to clip them but afraid it'll stunt. 2.16.2024: Day 28 from seed. End of week 4 from seed. Top 2 inches of soil were very dry and pot felt light so i gave it another 64oz of water at 6.3ph. 8 to 10oz of run off. Run off tested at 6.4ph, 2100ppm. Having temp challenges so i shut the humidifier off. Currently sitting at 75 with 47rh.

Got a dehumidifier it’s reading different from what mine controller 69 is saying but I have it set at 40% it’s the lowest so it’s going pull humidity regardless right now it’s about 53% which is okay would like it to get down to the 40’s I also changed the light schedule today to 20/4 the humidity raises at in my tent when lights are out so I figured change it to 20/4 instead of the 18/6 I’ve been running so if humidity does go over it won’t be for as long as before hopefully this works just trying to avoid any mold situation So far the Amneisa Haze 2 is at stretching she’s going be big I can but the haze 2 is done seems to just be flowering the sour diesel is looking good as well so far I’m happy with its looking like left town for two days and the auto watering pots worked!

AK 47 is not an auto so that was binned. But actually it was good because it was far too cramped. 2 plants tops next time. Added in overdrive as its 2 weeks out from breeders harvest timeline. The GSC really needs to fatten up in these last few weeks, not pleased so far seeing as it is in hydro with perfect ph the whole time. The glue and gorilla cookies are amazing. VERY thirsty averaging 2-3 litres a day of strong 1600 ppm nutes. It’s on a two a day watering cycle now. terpinator, rezin, overdrive, sumo active boost, nirvana added mid week. I was using bud factor X but it’s now so expensive it’s out of production so switched to terpinator. Ppm is a little high in the hydro but no burn or issues so far. Just a few heat stress curls on leaves. Should end up with very sticky buds with all those added.

Purple Haze was de meest gerookte wiet bij Woodstock en een wereldwijde favoriet onder rokers. Ook in Nederland werd deze cannabissoort steeds populairder. Deze populaire haze soort zie je vaak in Nederlandse coffeeshops. De toppen van de Purple Haze wietplanten zijn compact met prachtige THC kristallen en hebben paarse tinten. Het roken van deze wiet maakt je euforisch, creatief en geeft je een opbeurend gevoel. Het effect is krachtig en merkbaar als een sativa high gevoel.

I continue to do a little defoliation on my 4 Banana Krumble They grow well with strong secondary branches but a little less height than the other varieties present in my culture This week with supports I start trying to balance the height of all my plants so that they are approximately the same distance from the lamp ------------------------------------------------------------ 💧Watering On average I water each pot with: Day 36 : 0.75 Liters Day 40 : 0.75 L I use tap water, adjust the ph to around 6 and water 💧Spraying I mix a little black soap and neem oil in 1L of water and spray everything in the tent just before my lights go out, keeping any electrical appliances away while I spray. I try to soak all the plants. and I repeat this 2 times this week and the next before the buds appear. I do this to keep pests away and reduce the risk of mold. ------------------------------------------------------------ 🔥❄️Temperature of the week : Day : 19-23°C (Humidity : 60-75%) Night : 16-18°C Outside the tent it is around 17°C with 70% humidity ------------------------------------------------------------ 🚀Equipment of the week ⭐️ : It's starting to smell a little too green in my house, I'm adding my carbon filter this week Light FC3000 Mars hydro. power 95% at 45cm Extractor 6 inch Mars Hydro + carbon filter . power 3/10.

Week 6 begins for divine storm and mandarin dreams. Both ladies are looking amazing under this Mars-Hydro TSW2000 light. The girls are sticky, frosty AF and bulking up! The divine storm both now need support to stay standing upright and the mandarin dreams have an intense mandarin and fuel smell. Thank you Mars-Hydro, Kaoritracy, for sponsoring the light, it's doing an amazing job! Thanks for stopping by growfessors 👽🌳💚

FLUSH PERIOD…1ST OF 2 WEEKS NO NUTRIENTS NO CO2 This week is simply a lot of fresh air, lower temps and a lot of fresh 0.0EC RO water. First feed of the flush period I will flush the plants with 1x the pot size of water. So, I’m using 5 gallon pots…flush with 5 gallons of RO water ph’d to 5.8. Rest of the week I will feed like normal. Very little to no runoff of plain RO water. My theory is to let the plants eat the last bit of nutrients not just wash it out. This has always worked for me, so why change a good thing. One more time just in case nobody caught it on my other grow…I am looking for a few reputable growers to give me some smoke reports on what I’ve grown. DM me if you want a sample. I will ship on my dime, all I ask is for an honest review! Thanks everyone and hopefully just one more week to chop chop time!

Beginning of week.. As you can see.. The leaves tend to kinda curl.. Its weird.. She'll will be dry asf.. Like the whole cup is lighter than air.. Then as soon as I water, the leaves curl like this.. Is this rootbound? Lol.. Idk.. Maybe.. I can tell by the drainage that the roots are pretty massive in there.. Last time I grew this strain, the roots were fucking massive.. Lets see how this goes! The leaves will end up straightening out today.. But I dont like stressin my ladies! Pistils have been poppin out for at least a week now.. I think she's gonna flower very soon! Next day.. So here is a clone of her.. Just to see what happens.. I may use it to make some feminized pollen with it.. And hopefully inbreed it, as long as everything is timed out right it should be pretty simple. Anyways.. Gave the mama a little haircut.. Removed the fan leaves.. Her canopy is already so perfect.. When one branch is shorter than the others I bend her down and keep her on the side where the light is a bit weaker. She ends up stretching while the longer branches are under the heavier light and they dont stretch much so it gives the shorter branches motivation to stretch lol.. Gotta finesse her lol she loves it! She hasnt been showing any of those "drooping" stress signs anymore.. Before of after watering.. I had another strain do the same before but was perfectly fine afterward.. Just a fluke for a day or some shit idk lol.... Aaand back to the clone.. You can see how the branches werent coming out the same as the others.. The symmetry was off.. That's why I chopped it off.. Wish I woulda just cloned the whole top now.. Lol.. Oh well.. Im sure itll do SoMeThInG lol Mid week.. Went ahead and removed a couple more leaves.. Now it just tops.. Nothing else.. Next week will FOR SURE be week 1 of flower.. She is spittin out pistils like crazy. There is one node on one branch that is missing a leaf.. It has 2 stiples and 2 calyxes.. But no leaf lol.. Crazy.. Other than that.. Shes trucking along.. My last WW Auto took a similar beating.. This girl should be fine after this awful haircut lol.. I just want her to have nothing but tops.. End of week.. She seems happy and healthy.. Only thing I can see is a little nute burn on the leaf tips.. I haven't done much to try and avoid it.. I should probably back off on something.. Next week I will have a better idea! Next week is week 1 of flower.. Haven't noticed much stretching.. If any at all.. But again.. She seems happy and healthy!!! ... On to the next...

Hi growers! this is my first grow and I will try to be as detailed as possible. The first video is day 2 and the second video is day 6. The first pot is the Fast buds BlackBerry Auto, second pot is the Fast buds Zkittles Auto and the Two at the back are the SweetSeeds Honey Peach CBD. originally the back left pot was meant to be a Fast buds Tangie'matic but the seed didn't germinate so around day 4 of the grow I decided to germinate another Honey Peach CBD Seed. Equipment using is: 2 x 300w Viperspectra LED Lights 4 x 12L Fabric Pots 2 x 9" Clip Fans 1 Standing oscillating fan 1 Thermostat with RH reading and a cheapish Carbon Filter kit from EBay. As this is my first grow i have been on quite a tight budget but if things go well I will be slowly upgrading all of the equipment over time. Notes: As you can tell by the video I am very limited to space, I can't remember the exact measurements but I think its 48inches cubed

Week 3 Plant Growth Summary: Lighting: Increased PPFD from 250 to approximately 350 µmol/m²/s midway through Week 2, aligning with recommended levels for the vegetative stage. Watering: Conducted three wet-to-dry cycles. Soil Testing: A slurry test on Day 6 indicated a pH of 6.39 and an EC of 2.9 mS/cm. Nutrient Introduction: Began adding nutrients at 50% of the manufacturer's recommended levels during the third watering on Day 6. The nutrient solution had an EC of 0.53 mS/cm and a pH adjusted to 5.2. Runoff measurements showed a pH of 6.5 and an EC of 1.97 mS/cm. Optimal pH for nutrient uptake in hydroponic systems typically ranges from 5.5 to 6.5. Plant Training: Planning to top all plants near the end of Week 4. Irrigation System: Received all Tray2Grow components. With leaves now reaching the pot edges, plan to activate the system on Day 2 when plants require watering. Overall, plants are progressing well, with environmental parameters maintained within optimal ranges.
