Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

Our journey is slowly coming to an end. Unfortunately, Lady Runtz hasn't formed big buds and seems to have had a few problems with N. I guess she will be harvested in a few days.

So starting the 3rd week of flower. All but one plant speeding ahead towards dank. The lights below LED continue at a fast pace, I think it’s the most pistils I’ve seen firing out all over place this early. However one of the OS below the HPS isn’t feeling this groove and is developing at a slower rate. The plants that are being hit by both lights are gonna be fat!!!!! The forming buds are coming together quickly and big, they look swollen before they’ve swollen if ya know what I mean.🤔😂 I love week 3 of flower its where I always hit my plants with Hydrotops Triple F. It’s not a new product I’m using however I am using it in conjunction with two of their other products this time which is supposed to be the ideal way to benefit the plants when using Triple F. Development has seemed quicker during this grow especially from the period of switching the light cycle up to now. I’m happy. Temperature still a problem though a bit. Looking awesome going through week 3. But one plant is so much slower than the rest, I think she stretched a little too much when it was time. It still looks very strong and is covered with flower sites but they’re just not developing at a rate anything like her sisters flowers. The phantom OG in there with them are super fast. Maybe that’s making the Orange seem slower to me too🤔😂 all looking great in there anyway and am loving every moment I get to get in there with my girls. Very productive 3rd week 3 out of 4 growing at an accelerated rate, the 4th is looking fine too, well looking great actually but a lot slower with flower development.

I made some mistakes but they continued to put on more frost Did not realize that my timer for the light was not plugged in for 10 days so the ladies got 24h light a day for that period... They already started to grow small leaves on the buds.. revegging but I corrected it on day 93 so it should be alright. Still a major fuck up. Buds are already rock hard and smelling amazing, I just hope the light stress don't make em herm or produce seeds in the last weeks

A big hello to all the cannabis growing gardeners...and all the other visitors that came across my grow journal. This week i need to change the reservoir again, the plants drink solution just as I add fresh water the EC stays at 2.7 and i need to add PK and Calmag so that's why. The weather outside is very cold this whole week around -18 degree Celsius at night...this made my reservoir water go under 15 degree Celsius. Since i ran the Spider Farmer UV lights i noticed some purples on my cannabis plants i think it's their doing....i run it now for two weeks the UVs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SE 7000 is hanged at 28 cm. over the canopy and runs at 520W. This whole grow's main sponsor is Spider Farmer. You can easily obtain all the great grow equipment we use at: spider-farmer.com A big thank you to Jessie and the whole Spider Farmer crew for supporting me with the newest technological advancements in horticulture. Thanks to them what i do here is possible. Thank you Seeds Mafia for giving me the opportunity to try out your stock. seedsmafia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/moby-dick-feminized.html Plagron did send us their Contest package for the Power Buds competition . Thank you for your visit, please leave a like and hope to see you beck here in about a week.

We have no real game plan for flower (besides not getting overgrown lol) but size will definitely determine when we flip.. I would assume 2 more weeks at this rate of growth but time will tell.. everyone is eating a little with every watering now (water only every 3rd/4th) and things look great! (for now lol)..Thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! 🌱😽💨 ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

I'm REALLY excited for this grow..I think the SP-3000 will deliver us a half lb or more of Bruce Banger with very little effort..I couldn't be more in love with this setup.... .....until i buy my 2nd SP-3000 that is 😸 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

Cactus Candy Kush wächst ganz gemütlich vor sich hin. Diese Woche habe ich einige Ladungen in meinem Pyrolyse Ofen verfeuert und dabei Stockbrot gebacken. Ich nutze die Kohle als Zugabe beim Kompostieren. So wird sie über ein Jahr lang zigmal von Würmern zusammen mit dem Kompostmaterial gefressen und wieder ausgeschieden. Dabei reichert sich die Kohle mit Stickstoff, Mikrobiologie und vielen anderen Nährstoffen an. Der reife Kohle-Kompost hat eine besondere Fähigkeit die Pflanze mit gespeichertem Wasser und allen Nährstoffen zu versorgen, die sie während des Wachstums und der Blüte benötigt.

Compost tea turned out well, let it go for 26 hours total and geared it towards fungal. Also took some soil samples several days later around the stalks and found a lot of nematodes and protozoa which is what you want to see. Lots of different types of nematodes so what your looking for are the bacterial feeders (there are charts online that show you how to identify them). Mycorrhizae can be identified by it's dark colour, uniformity and segmented nature. Testate amoebas live in a translucent shell like a snail and are easy to spot but hard to spot moving due to my shitty microscope, but look for the tentacles. Also found some eggs with movement inside, no idea what they are but they have vacuoles and flagella. She is really getting sticky and smelly now; berries with herb notes. You can see the resin stretching over the trichomes in the last pic. No signs of senescence yet so I'm not going to feed them, they should have plenty of food anyway as this is a second run of the same soil.

La fin se rapproche pour la bannana x purple punch (je vien de lui donné sont premier rincage;) C est une plante vraiment facile à faire pousser elle peut encaisser de gros EC Et elle n à pas trop de feuille (facile à trimer ;) je pense donc que même un débutant peut avoir de très bon résultats avec cette souche il faudra juste la nourrir correctement (pas besoin de lst ou autre technique, juste lui laisser assez de place pour grandir (en hauteur comme pour les racines = big roots = big fruits ;) Pour la WEST COAST OG c est pareil on dirais elle sont en pilot automatique (tellement je n ai rien a faire a part arroser ) J ai au début mis 2 anneaux (technique que j aime bien quand j fais pousser une plante la première fois, au cas où il faudrait écarté les branches etc) mais la on en aurait presque pas besoin pareil que pour ka bannana il faut juste lui laisser assez de place pour les racines et lui laisser assez de place (largeur hauteur ) et des bon nutriment à bonne dose et normalement vous devriez avoir le même résultat que moi ;) Je doit dire que la west coast a une odeur magnifique et les photos pour toutes seul pour se qui est de la cristallisation :) Voilà les amis je m arrêt ici pour cette semaine on se retrouve pour la recolte de la bannana (la west coast à besoin de bien 10 jours encore avant le rincage)

Added some potassium sulfate and they seemed to bounce back but now they want calcium and I’m pretty sure the potassium I put in is antagonistic to calcium. I might harvest early to prevent any trichome degradation due to photosynthesis being halted, trichomes are looking milky too.

Flushed once and light defoliation this week as it’s one on the last times to do so before trellis net goes on. Also one of my last applications of organic insecticidal soaps (preventative) and Magnifical applied as a foliar spray. Low stress training for very last time and released by the end of the week. Girls are looking healthy with a few clearly showing sex. New intake fan and exhaust next week for when heating comes on in the house.

Рослинка росте без нарікань. Розмір напевно буде все таки не дуже великим, але побачим що буде далі Здаєтся, почалося цвітіння (пестики з'явились десь на 22 дні, але сьогодні, 24 дня я можу заявити, що їх стало значно більше, а отже вважаю, що цвітіння почалось) Знизу з'явилося 2-3 пожовтілих листочка, але чому так сталося - я розумію. Я не давав ніяких добрив 4 тижні, і сьогодні, я почав давати їх вперше, думаю рослинці сподобаєтся

Через пару недель растишка зацвела и появились первые бутончики!! Все указанные удобрения использовал строго в дозировках от производителя. На следующий цикл куплю какое-нибудь другое pk, сравню разницу. Полив в конечном итоге дошел до +- 5л в день.

ladies and gentlemen .... welcome to the end of this other journey together in the enchanted valley of Peakyplanters 🌈 My God .... the plant in front is really impressive 😲 it literally branched its flower around the net and a huge cactus came out of it !!! it was a real shame not to be able to balance the nutrition of the other two, this is the proof that each plant has its own diet! So, in a way, it lacks a little structural strength ... but all in all it wasn't that bad ... I only suffered a bit in the final weight Its flowers have a very particular smell 😋

Pretty good week, no problems. Added a dehumidifier yesterday (Saturday). And also bought a new light. The light should arrive on Tuesday. Looking forward to that because then I’ll be able to spread them out further so they’ll all have as much room to grow as they need. I believe they’ve started flowering, that happened like day 24 when I first noticed the white hairs coming out of the bud sites. They really took off growing mid way through the week. Like twice the growth as the prior week. I haven’t been defoliating per se, I have been tucking & tying leaves down. Many of the secondary flowering nodes have actually surpassed the main cola’s of my plants height wise. Those that did I tied slightly back down. Really wish I could cut a few branches off them without stressing them out. Oh well. Such is the bane of autoflower growing. The new light I bought is a Colofrog 2021 CF 2400 LED w/Samsung LM301H Osram Diodes. From what I gathered online, it’s a better light than the Mars hydro tsw 2000 I currently own. I’ve got my ts 1000 in the tent currently just to get through until the new light comes Tuesday.

Wow. She grew 26cm this week. Clearly likes her new 10 litre fabric pot. From what I've seen of the pots so far I like them. She's making loads of flower sites, also note the stem abuse I've administered this week 😂 I'm trying to stress the ol' girl out a bit. No idea if it working but its all data in the memory bank! 💪 EDIT: Light settings updated to reflect current tent lighting......
