She has received no water after a full week I have pruned the soil early today to promote co2 for her roots. I think she is recovering her second true leaves have grown at a steady pace with no signs of deficiency I will keep her dry as long as she copes with the drought!

The plants are growing steadily. I’ve already had to adjust the lamp height several times because the largest plants are starting to get dry leaf tips. I need to try to lower the humidity, as it gets very high when the tent is closed, and even though many of the side openings are open, the humidity is still extremely high.

Heeey all! Sorry for the huge amount of photos but this week was crazy. So many things happened and my lack of knowledge clearly showed up. I ended stressing one of my plants for no reason! 😱 At the start of the week everything was normal until I noticed that one of Roko's buds looked weird. It seemed to be too dry and orange for my tastes and I didn't know what it was. Obviously I started to ask around and I got so many mixed messages haha. Some people said it was nothing and I should not worry about it and others said they were 100% sure it was botrytis or budrot... aaaaaaaand I got paranoid lol. 😵😨 At first I tried to keep calm and ignore it for one day but the next one the bud looked even worse and that's when I feared the worst. What if it's really budrot? In general the values I write in here are approximates or an average of the week.. and usually my tent never goes over 60% of RH (in the dark it stays between 50% to 60% when I water them and on some rare occasions it reaches 65%). This time, after I checked the thermometer it said "75% of RH" but I did not know if it was during their sleep time or maybe some time after the lights went on) so once again I feared the worst! What if the plants stayed all the night with that amount of RH? Was that enough time for them to develop budrot? What if it's still nothing? Yikes. 😭 I had to do something and I did, I wasn't going to risk everything! I started removing the worst looking leaf to see if there was anything mushy or ugly between it and the pistils but I didn't see anything (maybe I was safe and that was something else? Or maybe the budrot was even deeper and I could not see it?) After reading I realized that the best idea was to cut the bud in half and then slice it to "see" if there was anything inside... so I did it and absolutely nothing showed up 😖! Those were good news! Sadly tho the poor plant had to go thru some stress after cutting that bud in half (at least from what I saw the insides were tightly packed and the photos showed some really cool stuff) The rest of the week was uneventful (compared to what I feared haha) and some leaves started to change even more in color (I love it). I think I'll start with the flush next week or the one after that one. There are some amber trichomes...! Thanks all for checking my diary! Hopefully you'll all find the pictures interesting! PD: None of the plants have seeds in them, even when one of the sliced buds seemed to be making them!

Smells are getting progressively stronger, smelling like tropical punch still. Showing signs of purple, possible with the dropping temperature at night with the AC. They are cover with trichomes and looking lovely!

*english version below* **HydroLab – Blüte Woche 1: Der Stretch entfesselt & der Teppich lebt** Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, dem einzigen Ort, an dem Pflanzen schneller wachsen als meine Stromrechnung. Die 12/12-Umstellung liegt nun offiziell sieben Tage zurück – und die Damen haben das Memo verstanden. Der Stretch? Vollgas. Der angekündigte „Kräuterteppich“? Er ist da. Und er rollt sich gerade selbst aus. 🌿🔥 Systemstatus: Wissenschaftlicher Wahnsinn in Zahlen EC: stabil auf 1.5 Wasser: Vollentsalzt, nur noch 0.05 EC – so sauber, dass es vermutlich als „Destillat Light“ durchgeht CalMag: jetzt Pflicht! Leitungswasser war nett, aber wir gehen jetzt pro pH: von 5.8 hochdriftend bis 6.2, dann korrigiere ich Klima: kalt draußen → warm im Labor dank Luftentfeuchter + 130W IR-Heizung (Nachtschicht-Modus) Operation „Wurzel-Schutzschild“ Die Netpots haben ein Upgrade bekommen: Alufolie-Abdeckung! Nicht hübsch, aber verhindert sicher, dass irgendwo Licht in die Root-Zone kommt. (Hydrolab-Regel Nr. 18: Wenn’s reflektiert, funktioniert’s. 🤓) Pflanzenverhalten: Unkontrollierte vertikale Energie Ich habe in dieser Woche nichts geschnitten und die Mädels einfach machen lassen. Ergebnis: 🔬 Hypothese: „Sie werden etwas wachsen.“ 🔬 Ergebnis: Sie sind komplett durchgedreht. Der Stretch ist massiv, die Tops schießen überall nach oben, die Mitte wird dichter, und die ersten Blütenansätze zeigen sich bereits in voller, flauschiger Pracht. Die Mykos arbeiten im Untergrund weiter wie ein italienischer Straßenbau-Trupp auf Koffein: die Wurzeln sind dick, cremefarben und gesund. Labor-Kommentar Manchmal muss ein Wissenschaftler lernen, loszulassen. Und manchmal heißt das: „Ich lass sie einfach eine Woche wild wachsen und schaue später, was weg muss.“ Genau diese Methode wenden wir hier an. Aktuell sieht alles brutal vital, extrem dicht und herrlich chaotisch aus – genau wie ein Sativa-Scrog aussehen muss, bevor der Dompteur eingreift. Ausblick Nächste Woche geht’s ans Feintuning im Netz, am Lollipop wird nachjustiert und Bud Blood sollte sein Zauberwerk tun, damit sich das Ganze bald in ein Meer aus weißen Härchen verwandelt. Bis dahin: Das HydroLab beobachtet, misst, lacht – und füttert. 🌱⚗️😄 _________________________________________________________ **HydroLab – Bloom Week 1: Stretch Protocol Activated** Welcome back to the HydroLab, where the plants grow faster than my ability to explain what’s going on, and where chaos is considered a valid research method. The flip to 12/12 was seven days ago — and the ladies took that as a personal challenge. The stretch? Immediate and aggressive. The “herbal carpet” I predicted last week? Fully deployed. 🌡️ System Diagnostics EC: holding steady at 1.5 Water: ultra-clean, 0.05 EC from the deionization unit CalMag: now part of the baseline (unlike with tap water) pH: adjusted to 5.8, drifting naturally up to 6.2 before correction Climate: cold nights outside → warm enough inside thanks to a 130W IR heater + dehumidifier tag-team 🛡️ Root Protection Protocol I covered the pot tops with aluminum foil — not pretty, but absolutely effective at blocking any stray light from entering the root zone. HydroLab Law #7: If it looks improvised but works perfectly, it’s not a bug — it’s a feature. 🌱 **Plant Behavior Report: Unrestricted Vertical Ambition** This week I didn’t cut anything… And the plants responded with: “Okay, we’ll take over now.” The stretch is in full swing, tops are pushing upward everywhere, and the first flower sites are forming beautifully. The canopy is dense, lively, and wild — exactly what a sativa-leaning scrog looks like right before it becomes a jungle. Roots? A fluffy, creamy, active masterpiece. The mycorrhiza is clearly having the time of its life. 🔬 Researcher’s Note Sometimes science requires intervention. Other times… science requires stepping back, folding your arms, and whispering: “Let’s see what happens if I just don’t touch anything this week.” This was one of those weeks. And honestly? The system handled it better than expected. 🔭 Next Week’s Outlook canopy refinement begins lollipopping adjustments Bud Blood should fully kick in floral development expected to accelerate Until then: The HydroLab observes. The HydroLab measures. The HydroLab feeds. And the HydroLab cackles quietly in the corner. 🌿⚗️😄

The original Purple Punch is a cross between Larry OG and Grandaddy Purple, illustrious and stable indica dominant THC-rich heavyweights! The total grow cycle from autoflower seed to harvest is a short 9 weeks. You will be rewarded with a large yield of sticky resinous buds, up to 600g/m2 indoors. If you’re looking to grow a high quality indica auto made with cannabis cup winning genetics you will love Auto Purple OG Punch. THC content is always up-to/around 20%. Auto Purple OG Punch effects are intense, euphoric and relaxed. She also contains around 1% CDB which contributes to the very smooth, chilled smoke. Expect a mouthwatering blend of sweet tasting candy, dark fruit and hints of spice. A real connoisseur cocktail with powerful effects! She normally reaches around 1m tall. But in optimized conditions with LED grow lights you can see occasional monster plants up to 2m tall with XXL yields. Auto Purple OG Punch is easy, potent and heavy yielding indoors. She also delivers well outdoors - such as the balcony or garden. Auto Purple OG Punch is a perfect, powerful strain for a quiet relaxed day. The calming indica body effect is very satisfying and de-stressing

And here we are with another week just over... And most probably next week I will also chop her down!! In these week probably for the heat stress she got I started seeing some main buds foxtailing. We are in the 10/14 days of plain pHed water, but I'm considering cutting her before the full flush is complete, this cause I can also see some amber trichomes. For now that's all, but now more than ever stay tuned for the next week, which will be most likely the harvest week! Stay high peeps!!

Stretch has started but its very reasonable 8/25 Nuets changed to all Bloom 8ml/gal A&B and Koolbloom 1ml/gal EC at 1500 see if we can keep this until ripening 8/26 Resuming twice a day feeds 8/27 Giving a dose of Kangaroots for their early flower root building this is the last of that. Defoliated lowers removing all under growth Tent is getting pretty full ... maybe they are like goldfish... 8/28 Growing @ 1/2 - 1 inch per day still

Had a massive rainstorm, hadn’t supported the plants as I had planned due to spraying for moth larvae. The storm damaged several plants. I strapped most of them back together with Zip ties and stakes. They recovered nicely. Some branches were not recoverable so they were trimmed and dried. No more nutrients, just water to finish off.

01.07.2023 Tag 57 Was soll ich sagen? Schaut sie eucht an. Ich bin bisher sehr zufrieden mit den Zkittlez und Beide haben sehr gut auf die Entlaubung reagiert. Weil das Licht bis zum Boden kommt, habe ich weitesgehend auf Lollipopping verzichtet. Die Triebe haben sich ziemlich schnell gestreckt und sind deshalb noch recht dünn. Aber je dicker die Knospen werden, desto dicker werden auch die Triebe. Ich füttere sie jetzt gut und werde auch ein wenig Grow beibehalten Jetzt kann ich nichts weiter tun, als auf die beiden Damen aufzupassen, sie hegen und pflegen und ihnen Liebe schenken. Wieviel Bud dabei wohl rauskommt?

Week 6 These girls stretched like 10cm in a week had to control them. Defoliation followed by SCROG technique to help control the height. Fertilizers Plagron: grow 4ml , bloom 5 ml , Vita race 4ml, power bud 1 ml , power roots 1ml . Pest: applied spider boom as a preventive measures. Always better to prevent 1ml per liter sprayed on the leafs bottom and top. I am growing other strains but nothing is bushier or bigger than the Lemon Orange.This strain is definitely strong and easy to grow so far.
