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… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

- Fifth week Did a few trimming of some fan leaves at bottom PH around 5.5, still have to maintain with PH up daily Changed reservoir with a dosage of Base A- Base B- Vege- using 1.0 ML per Liter Went back to Silica as specified in feeding schedule by Kawsay Peroxide in order to help oxygen in water, the water is kinda dark tinted, roots have tinted as well, yet they don't seem slimy. Leaves and plants have shown small deficiency in nutrients, but overall they seem to look fine. I dont believe it's root rot but will have to raise Peroxide intake, hopefully I can diagnose the root within this week. Sexing seems to be female, its hard to tell if they're pistils or bud sites, but have not seen pollen sacs develop yet. Update: Final topping done (3 tops in total) prospecting 12 bud sites. Recover mode 3 days and onto last vegetative week. Will consider switching to flower depending on how she recovers.

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

Alright and welcome to week 4, day 22. As you can see something is wrong. I think it's some Mag that is missing so I added some MagO 10 and I hope the problems will go away. If you guys think it is something different, leave a comment and we can discuss this 😎 I raised the water to 1.2 liters a day. I also wondered how this could happen. Everything is okay at the measurements so how does this occur? Day 23: The problems are still there but it seems they grew a bit overnight. I added Calcium today because some of you guys tell me it's Calcium deficiency. Well let's check back tomorrow. And wish me good luck! 😁 Day 24: Alright, I suck. I measured the runoff from plant 1 and it was way too high. Just like me sometimes (I forgot to take a picture of plant 4 today, have no clue how that shit happened. Yes I can count to 4 👽). What you guys thinking about EC 3.25 ph 5.9 @ the runoff? I don't think that's good so I lowered the EC in the tank by putting in fresh water. How did it come this far? Well, I probably did not give enough water. Meaning it was enough for the plants, yes, but there was no or not enough runoff. So the salts (fertilizer) came to EC 3.25 in the substrate. I'm "flushing" now with EC 1.25 and will check back tomorrow how the runoff will be. When I measured the runoff from all 4 plants together EC was 2.1 - which is only a little too high, I am trying to reach 1.6 - 1.8 . Let's check back tomorrow. For forgetting the picture of plant 4 today, I made a video. Day 25: The flushing was good. The plants look healthier again and the runoff is only 1.7 now. EC in the water tank is 1.35, ph 5.5. Also I removed some of the downer leafes. And I created this SCRoG net. So I just have to give them more water each day. So much there's about 20% runoff but I don't think I can measure or calculate 20% runoff. So I'll do it by feeling. Seems to work for now. Day 26: Looks like the plants are okay again. I only checked the ph and EC which were good. Day 27: The plants grow against the net. Also there are some waterdrops on the leafes which means that there is not enough air rotating inside the box. Have to check the airflow tomorrow. Day 28: Last day of vegetation. Just ph'ed down a bit.

day 44 - The growth process continues unabated. I am waiting for the desired size. 8 days after flowering it didn't grow as much as I thought it would, so we went back to the growing season. 👽 day 49 - I decided not to cut the leaves anymore after much defoliation. It easily tolerates strong stress easy to grow.

Es una variedad super estable en su cultivo , las primeras semanas le fascina la luz blanca , en mi caso usé un panel led #qkwin el cual tiene un mix ideal para crecimiento y floración : chip samsung 3000k 5000k uv 660nm iR . Agradezco a mi amigo mkled que gracias a su ayuda logramos probar ese panel led ! Aguante master ! ... En los primeros días de su crecimiento estuvimos con 20 horas de luz y 4 de oscuridad , en mi zona de cultivo , es un lugar húmedo y frío , estas horas de luz me ayudan bastante al crecimiento...ya casi en su 3 o 5ta semana de crecimiento , bajamos a 18/6 ... Se realizó corte apical en la 3era semana de crecimiento y reaccionó al 100%... A medida que crece le aplico defoliacion y poda lolypop para una aireación ideal en toda la planta y además evitamos esfuerzo adicional de la planta en querer buscar luz con los brotes de más abajo ... Ideal para realizar podas y lst ! Super fácil y cómoda, se recupera fácilmente después de defoliar . Por su estructura final tambien es ideal para técnicas de cultivo como SOG y SCROG por su facilidad al adaptarse ... En floración , le gusta el ambiente bien seco y aireado , 22°C / 40% humedad / extracción 45mins on / 15mins off / intraccion pasiva .. A los primeros dias de floración ya hace notar su riquísimo aroma a limon maduro y skunk , se confunde con un olor a orina de gato en algunas ocasiones ...un verdadero zorrillo... Le hice defoliacion 1 día antes de pasar a floración , reaccionó super bien , esto me ayudo a que todos los brotes pequeños recibieran mayor luz y se definieran ... En esta ocasión su alimentación sube "por las nubes" logrados medir hasta una alimentación de 2.2 EC una verdadera bestia ! Robusta ! Ya en su 4ta a 5ta semana de floración comenzamos con riegos de sólo agua , sin fertilizantes .... Su corte fue en su 8va semana de floración y era un corte sin fin ! El resultado ideal ... Esta nena nos rindió unos 90g como mínimo ! Bastante conforme..

The buds are getting fat and there are plenty of bud sites and they are nice and frosty now the 2 that were lagging behind certainly aren't that far behind. I have bamboo canes ready to go in soon as the side branches are getting heavy and i don't want them to get snapped or anything now I come this far 40 days on 12/12 today Thanks for taking the time to read my update 🙏💚

She’s finally there! She’s been flushing for just over 2 weeks now. Been checking the trichomes and for me she is at perfect ripeness! 🤩 Now just need to get her cut and dried, will probably take me a while as I’m on the upper end of the humidity scale atm, even with a dehumidifier! Super happy with how my first photo has gone and can’t wait to start another run!

DAY 49: This lady has took me round the houses this week. She was looking so close to her finishing with so many browning pistils . Thankfully she has now begun her second flush of flowering all over. Her buds look to be swelling a little more now and she is smelling so fruity sweet still. Her ge.eral health is good and she doesn't have any fade going on anywhere from maturity either. She does have so endive sized colas around her now too so another couple of weeks could give her chance to swell more. I have committed the cardinal sin of nipping odd a lower limb to dry and sample her at this point. 7 weeks and she is looking good already. I do think the second flush of flowering will allow me to keep her going a few more weeks as I think she is a beautiful cross. Her smell is really nice and sweet with a definite creamy after thought. I do have a few more of her mums seeds so will see how they fare in a scrog I think are some point. I am so far , very happy that I germed this to try and am Looking forward to sampling it cured.

Looks like the stretch has officially come to an end and with it, the first signs of trichome production have started to show up!✨ Unfortunately, the plant stayed pretty small despite being in a 20L pot, which is a bit of a bummer. I was hoping for more size, but hey let’s see what she can deliver in quality! Sometimes the small ones pack the biggest punch. 😏 Excited to see how the buds develop from here!😊

I defoliated this week, in the 3rd week of flower. The stretch should be about over. Pistils and bud sites abound. I increased Tiger Bloom. Now we wait.

Scrog Netz in das Zelt gehängt damit mehr Licht an die unteren buds kommt. Organische pflanzen Neigen sich dem Ende zu. Die mineralische Auto euforia braucht noch aber bildet mittlerweile die buds. Aktuell 8 l/Tag mit 2g/l Hackaphos rot gegossen. Zusätzlich noch gut unten rum entlaubt da viel vertrocknet war und eh kein Licht hin kam.

This strain has been easy to grow from the start and very quickly packed the weight on during flower, for a free seed I'm more than happy with the outcome, if you're gonna grow it give it a good 13 to 14 weeks It's quite an uplifting smoke a nice head stone

Esa familia, 2 semana de floración, salió un macho, espero no llevarme más sorpresas por lo demás todo prosigue igual están tirando preflores hembra y pues ahí van el armario grande tuve que practicar un crooping en las puntas para que no se me fuesen de altura mucho y así estimulo las ramas laterales a tirar hacia la luz. Alimentación normal bases y big bud con bud candy , yo creo que algo sencillo y básico que les sienta fenomenal a las plantas. Iremos viendo El Progreso estas semanas a ver cómo va esta variedad que tal rinde. Buenos humos familia
