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… 🏽🕊️

Harvest day
First off, I have to apologize to everyone who was following the weekly updates life got crazy, and this girl got way too big to keep moving in and out of the tent for photos.
She dried under great conditions around 18–21°C with 55–60% RH, total darkness, and steady airflow for that nice slow dry. Buds… frosty, dense, and absolutely covered.
The smell was sweet, citrusy, and loud! 😍 The smoke matched it perfectly smooth, flavorful. Definitely one I want to run again, and next time I’ll give her the attention she deserves from start to finish.

OK guys I'm back after being away for 2 weeks. I've proceeded to a final transplantation into a 9L AirPot container, right before I left for vacations. I also added a canopy-ring in order to open up the plant and start some LST without adjusting strings everyday. A friend was in charge of the grow room while I was away, and she did a pretty good job. The AK420 is healthy, she is the smallest plant in the room but her shape and color are amazing. Short inter-nodes. She has 8 main summits and all her apexes are about the same height. She will remain under vegetative stage for 1~2 weeks before flipping into 12/12 light schedule. I can't wait to see her full of buds! Thanks for stopping by 👊

My Gorilla Cookies seedling is off to an amazing start! The stem is thick and sturdy, promising strong growth, and the leaves are already nice and wide, soaking up all the light. I'm excited to see how this one develops. The genetics on this strain are top-notch, so I've got high hopes for some seriously frosty buds down the line. Stay tuned for updates as this little lady grows!
The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this past week! We've been hitting that sweet spot of 70 degrees during the day, perfect for getting outside and soaking up some sun. Then, it cools down to a comfy 50 degrees at night, which is ideal for sleeping with the windows open. I've been loving all the fresh air!
I finally got around to building that little wooden planter for my windowsill. It was a fun project, and now my regular plants have a nice new home. It really brightens up the room, and I'm thinking of adding some herbs to it soon. Maybe I'll even try growing some basil!

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil.
Day 1 we had partly cloudy skies, low humidity, and temps in the lower 80's. I watered about .25 gallons from the water hose.
Day 2 we had lite showers in the morning, partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 80's the remainder of the day.
Day 3 we had showers in the early morning until afternoon. Then it was mostly sunny with high temperature around 79.
Day 4 we had thunderstorms and rain in the morning, then rain and drizzle intermittently throughout the day. High temperature for the day was 71°.
Day 7

Wanted to keep her growing until the end of the month but, mother nature had other plans. Woke up this morning and the buds where almost touching the ground. Still have 1/2 the plant left, will cut fown later today if more rain. Don’t have room to cure all at one time. Normally I cure outside, for now they’re in my bathroom and dressing room.😬Don’t know the wet weight for now since only cut 1/2 of the plant, but probably a good 4 or more kilos!😳
Finally, the sun has returned. Not hot though, but nice and sunny. Moved curing to outside for now. Last night we stayed high just from the aroma in the house. More to come when she dries.😍 Last plant totalled 2,005grams. 3 plant total 3,340 grams 😎

Still pulling top fan leaves to allow the side branches to catch up to the main stem.
Plants are enjoying the new root space and increased feed.

Howdy folks. This week had some turbulent weather, and is really testing the resistances of this strain. The days have either been hot and humid, or raining non-stop. Not exactly what you want late flower, but you get what you get with outdoors!
Spotted a few swollen calyxes so there must be pollen floating around. My neighbour just discovered a male plant over his side of the fence. Crossing my fingers that there were no open pollen sacks before he pulled it. Apparently the pods were tiny and hadn't opened yet but I never got to see and verify that. But... this is outdoors, and the area is very outdoorsy/foresty - so there's bound to be loads of stray males in the area.
Hoping that these don't turn into seed factories 🤞
What's the latest a flowering plant can get pollinated? Are you ever in the "safe zone"?
