Día 12/1/26 Día 2 de la semana 8 de floración.Entramos en la octava semana con problemas. De los tuppers quitadores de humedad que tengo,uno se me volcó enganchándolo con mi artilugio una lanza con gancho para vaciarlo y cambiarle el recambio.pero se derramó la mitad del contenido en una zona media - casi atrás del armario y quemó varias plantas. 2 de manera grave y otras 2 no tanto. Me es una lástima la verdad,las atendí ayer con un gran lavado,añadiendo en esa zona mucha agua, a través de la manguera del grifo empoandolo. Espero que no siga a más y puedan terminar los 15 días que les queda. En dos días,añadiré un riego de azucares con un poco de PK. En la entrada el foco. No está funcionando bien,creo que el fallo viene del driver o el dimmer. No sube la potencia y comienzan a fallar los leds Añadiré dos lámparas de 100w cada una para reforzar. Y cuando acabe el cultivo meteré las dos nuevas lámparas marshydro sp3000. Día 13 Las plantas están bien jodidas,después del lavado de raíces,solo cruzo los dedos para que puedan finalizar la floración. Dos de ellas llegaron al punto de quemarse dos canopias en el centro por el debido exceso de cloruro de calcio que contienen los contenedores de absorción de humedad. Por lo demás las demás chicas están estupendas. Día 15 Se quedaron bien fastidiadas ya las quemaduras pararon hace un día. Quemaron prácticamente 2 plantas casi al 70% Y las otras 5 están 50/50% Me a jodido mucho.. casi finalizando ya solo nos quedan 12 días de cultivo. 🤩 Podría haber salido perfecto en salud al menos. Rendimiento lo mejoraré en la siguiente tanda. En el día de ayer di el último riego de abonos . Ahora en adelante todo va a ser agua y limpiar raíces. Si estuvieran todas buenas de salud ,seguiría dando abonos en la siguiente semana. Pero prefiero limpiar y preparar el terreno también así de exceso de nutrientes para las siguientes… Día 16 Ya estamos a punto de entrar en la octava semana. Tome la deicision de dejar las plantas que se quemaron parece que ya se pararon. Pero las mantendré con esperanza de poder madurar los demás cogollos que no se han visto afectados. Por lo demás las plantas están fantásticas. Hay alguna que tiene un pequeño bloqueo de nutrientes,debido a las grandes cantidades de fertilizante de estas últimas semanas. Pero mañana ya empiezo con los riegos de lavado de raíces,agua con enzimas. Muchas flores empiezan a tomar tonos de las bajas temperaturas. Morados y azules. No podré sacar el rendimiento que deseaba en este cultivo por una torpeza de volcar, el desumificador desechable. Pero ya vamos preparando la siguiente ronda de amnesia y esta vez si lo haremos verdaderamente bien!

Last week was pretty stable. The buds are steadily fattening up, just how we like it. They all got burned leave tips, I think it has to do with too little runoff, because I’m using GHE’s flora hydro schedule on exactly half strength. Its not getting worse over the last days so its probably not a big deal. Like I said last week, I have a dehumidifier now. I got it hooked up to one of the air holes on the bottom. My sonoff temperature and humidity sensor checks when it goes over 65% rh, and fires on the dehumidifier whenever needed to blow difrectly in the tent. I do wonder if I could save on electricity to get a stronger exhaust fan. Because the humidity outside the tent is low enough, so more air circulation could fix the humidity issue without actively dehumidifying I think. I’ve been eyeing on the Apogee SQ-102 PAR meter. Its not perfect for led light but it does give a pretty good idea about the amount of light hitting the plants. I’d like to get a better idea of the optimal distance between plants and light. Especially since i ran into loads of light burn issues in this grow and past grows.

Inhale for 13s, Exhale for 13s, Inhale for 8s, Exhale for 8s, Inhale for 5s, Exhale for 5s, Inhale for 3s, Exhale for 3s, Inhale for 1s, Exhale for 1s, Alignment. 1.618 A plant with both standard cellular respiration (occurring throughout the plant, including leaves and stems) and adequate root respiration will have a significantly higher ATP throughput than one restricted to only general cellular respiration in a limited way. Cellular respiration is the fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living plant cells (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds) to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP). It requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Root respiration is not a separate type of respiration, but rather a specific instance of cellular respiration occurring in the roots. Roots absorb oxygen from the air spaces in the soil to fuel their energy needs. Roots require a substantial amount of ATP for essential functions like nutrient and water absorption, as well as growth and maintenance of their tissues. The primary form of respiration in healthy plant roots is aerobic respiration, which is highly efficient, yielding up to 30-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Anaerobic Respiration (Inefficient): If roots are deprived of oxygen (e.g., in waterlogged soil), they switch to anaerobic respiration, which is far less efficient, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and also generating alcohol, which can be toxic and kill the plant. Therefore, a plant with healthy, oxygenated roots performing efficient aerobic respiration in addition to the rest of the plant's cellular respiration has a much greater overall ATP production and energy capacity. A soil without organic matter will generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Biochar is often prized for its potential to increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), but this effect is highly dependent on the specific properties of the biochar (feedstock and pyrolysis temperature) and the soil type to which it is applied. High-ash biochars, especially those produced at lower temperatures and applied to acidic or sandy soils, can significantly boost CEC by providing abundant binding sites for cations like calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and potassium (K⁺). Biochar is more sustainable than typical organic matter for long-term soil improvement primarily due to its high stability and resistance to microbial decomposition, allowing it to persist in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This longevity provides a lasting positive effect on soil properties, particularly by increasing the cation exchange capacity (CEC) over time, while regular organic matter breaks down much faster. Biochar generally offers a much higher CEC than coco coir, though specific values vary greatly; while coco coir might sit around 40-60 cmol/kg, biochar can range from tens to over 200 cmol/kg, with sources like Acacia wood biochar or even coconut shell biochar often surpassing coco's capacity due to its porous structure, creating significantly more cation-binding sites for nutrients, making it superior for nutrient retention. Needs to be charged similar to coco but at a much higger rate. But shhhh.. it's a secret. Recommend a balanced ratio of key cations, particularly calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). A widely accepted general "ideal soil" cation saturation ratio is approximately 65-85% Ca, 6-12% Mg, and 2-5% K. That's roughly what mine gets.

Welcome to the Smoking Tiki's hut! I will grow 4 autoflowering from Fast Buds in front of a South-East oriented window. One year ago, I received the seeds and conserved them into my fridge door. Now, the "FBT2304" has become the "Pound Cake Auto". I started with 8 seeds (2 for each strain). They all germinated! For each strain, I took the seed with the bigger root and put it in its final 1,5l pot. I didn't find my usual soil at the store so I took a variant of it, let's see how it goes. It's also the first time I'm adding some Mycorrhizal Inoculant (fungi) from Dynomyco. I mixed 15g of Dynomyco with the soil for each plant. The "SUN" column in the weekly report is filled based on my daily electricity production. My solar panels are oriented at 90° compared to the window but it's just to give a rough idea of the amount of light received by the plant. 0 : very cloudy day + : cloudy day ++ : sunny day +++ : very sunny day Have a nice journey through my grow diary!

Great week inside the tent, somewhat uneventful out of it. UKBS 2 and Carl 2 have been growing (mainly carl 2, rip the homie UKBS2) and the plants inside the tent have been flourishing and really sugaring up despite how early they are into flower. Timelapse is here, ta-da! My nute syringe broke, so nutrient measurements are 100% inaccurate and I have no clue what I'm feeding my plants. Fun situation. Updates as the week goes. -5/28/2021 - Outdoor plants are staked out as they're quite tall and my area has a wind issue. Carl 2 is approximately 5 feet tall now, quite the monster. UKBS 2 is still suffering from degeneration, but the rest of the plant looks happy as usual. Broke out the nice camera yet again for some bud shots, gotta be one of my favorite parts of the grow process. -5/30/2021 - Indoor plants are getting quite fat in the bud department. Had to tie many of Carl 1's mains to the roof of the tent with some twine😂 - Should be some real fat goodness once she's ready to come down. Can't wait. -5/31/2021 - Last night fell asleep before closing the tent, lights on in the room. Hopefully nothing too bad as it was only one night.

Hello Diary. And the third week of flowering is behind me, Watermelon has begun to stagnate in growth so a height of about 70 cm is the maximum it will reach. 😎 At the end of the week I did a defoliation, I removed the lower leaves and branches and some of the leaves inside the plant itself, which were already very yellow. I’m still not sure what is the cause of the brown spots and leaf decay. If it’s an excess of nutrients, then the conclusion is that Purple Punch (which keeps her company in the Box) is much more resistant than Watermelon. Another possible cause is nicotine disease, because in the plant itself, there is an opening through which air enters the Box, and if there is a lot of tobacco in the room in front, it is possible. 😟 If anyone is reading this text, and has an idea of ​​the cause of leaf decay, I ask him for advice. 🙏 The flowers develop nicely, are full of already visible trichomes and begin to take on an increasingly intense scent. Also, the flowers can be seen to turn purple. 😍 After all, everything can be seen in detail in the photos. At this stage of flowering I started doing photos on a black background, the photos are much nicer. Regardless of the leaves, I was still adding nutrients since everything was fine with her roommates Purple Punch. This will be a test to see how much is really enough to dose them, especially since each strain reacts differently. Here is a brief overview of the week. 04/03/2021 - Day 37. Watering. I regulated p.H. at 6.3 with Plagron’s Lemon Kick, and added one Easy Bloom Booster tablets to a total of 7 gallons of water. With that, I watered all three plants evenly. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.3 degrees and 41% humidity. 08/03/2021 - Day 41. Watering. p.H. I regulated to 6.2, I added 1ml / lit CalMg and BioBizz as scheduled for the third week of flowering. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 39% humidity. 09/03/2021 - Day 42. Defoliation and photography. I photographed the plants in the Box, to see the current condition and after that I did a defoliation. For the end, I took the final photos of the plant for the end of the 6th week. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.2 degrees and 38% humidity. That’s it for this week, see you soon with a new report. 🙌

☆♡ Gorilla Cookies: I've noticed a leaf fell off the bottom. I think I may've overdone the nutes. She's growing tremendously. I top dressed with the below, as the rest of my plants. I will only use PH'd water for the next several waterings, probably with Biosys or seaweed. ♡☆ 16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Day 36-13/05/22 damn they looking good i think I’m going to raise the light today I will have to check!!! Day 38-15/05/22 gave them a nice bit of water today they needed it!!!! . Day 40-17/05/22 all looking good so yellowing of lower leaves but think it’s because I watered them a bit to late the other day!!!

Week 15 May 21 -ladies are still swelling all but the grapefruit pheno but she is frostier than the rest so good with the bad I guess hopefully she just takes longer to finish -just been ferments with recharge mostly and been doing well alternating between top and bottom watering and watering every other day -light burn and possible calcium deficiency on one plant but she’s the chunkiest girl and might finish before the rest -smooth sailing other than that
