Once again, this week starts where the former one ended. With the exception of all the cables you can see in the first picture. I dared to install a minimalized version of the Raspi control only controlling the self-built humidifier and one blower/fan combination. I was very pleased to see how easily the simple diffusor can hold optimum VPD as long as temperatures are high and humidity tends to fall below optimum VPD. A single 10 seconds evaporation can hold the level for about 2–3 minutes. I am not pleased to see the Monsanto blowers rather underperform. It’s impossible to reduce humidity or temperature with both running on full speed, while a lifting of the tent door will bring immediate changes. With the Raspi/Arduino success so far*, I am thinking about using old Power Mac fans which are WCM controllable and use 12 V. At least one to increase air intake, and maybe even the blowers. * It wasn’t any problem at all to have the Arduino collect CO2 and soil moisture data, so after some more cable manufacturing (aka helpless soldering), I could extend the Raspi control. I’m still uncertain about the camera module (@trelorny impressed me with his time lapse videos). I don’t want to put the hardware into the tent with its not so electronics friendly climate, already risking some rare outages of the temp/hum sensor. But the camera module cannot be placed far away. So maybe I’ll use the 3A model I own as a spare part as a camera driver. Any maybe, if it works, invest in a better camera module. Mine is generation 1. Oh, and the ladies! Gave them slightly fertilised water yesterday, and even it or the better VPD yesterday or a combination of both make me believe bud growth is a bit more visible today. The smell in the morning when I open the tent to release accumulated humidity is outstanding. They were already thirsty on day 57 again, so pure RO + a bit of tap water until it spilled out of their pot’s bottoms. Many fan leaves turning autumnally now, and the smallest Sherbet suffered a bit from over-fertilisation as I wrote. But it this stage I don’t go for leaf beauty anymore. Just another learning: Don’t use differently sized pots anymore. Hard to feed them individually this way. VPD was mostly in best range yesterday, and I have the feeling it really supports their bud growth. I added an "Evening time" option to my Raspi control that allows the humidity to sink a selected time before lights shut down. That made it possible to have humidity in best range for most of the night time too. They were even dry again on day 58 morning. Another time just water. The blowers cannot cope with the flowers’ smell anymore, and so sometimes my flat cannot hide who shares it with me. Day 60 presents me with a problem: I’ll leave on Friday for a few days. Considering the microscope pictures are not from the tops buds: Would you say it’s safe to give them another week? Problem solved on day 61. Only clean water from now on, and next week will be their last. You won’t see any new pictures for some days now. Me too … Something I wanted to share with you before I leave: I just finished to update my grow box control with a new PWM fan hat that keeps the Raspi cool, while at the same an infrared sensor can now measure real leaf and additional ambient temperature. Setup is much cleaner and more robust now, but I wish my flux would not make the solder stick to the tip of the machine instead of making it flow and stick at the tiny tiny spots I have to hit …

Wow well she's finally finished! Crispy dry so it's time to weigh up. Over 200g!!!!!!!!! That's not bad FastBuds!! Well done guys. Very strong genetics. She grew well throughout. Also I'm currently making QWISO from all the leftover trim. Lets see how much it makes when it's all evaporated off. Update: I have a solid 6g of extract from all the otherwise wasted trim from this 1 plant! Will last ages 😁

Day 50 - Started week 8 today with a healthy drink of water and nutes. Things are looking real good with this girl and she’s finally starting to get a bit of frost going on her tops now too. Didn’t do any defoliating today, just gave her a drink and tucked the leaves as best I could. Day 51 - Nothing much new today, just got her out and got some updated pictures. Also did a little defoliating then tucked her back into the tent and tucked the leaves again. She’s budding up nicely and starting to put off a tiny bit of a sweet/creamy smell. Day 52 - She’s budding and frosting up more each day. I did go through today and removed quite a few of the top fan leaves over the middle of the plant to keep everything opened up, they were getting pretty big and overshadowing everything. I tucked everything else in the middle and she should be needing some water tomorrow. Day 54 - Gave her a gallon of water and nutes today, she was pretty dry. I was also told before to add some molasses to the water so added a bit of that as well and see what it does for her. Went ahead and removed a couple dead lower leaves as well. Looks like she’s about done with her stretching and is just packing on the flowers now. Day 55 - Nothing much new going on today, just removed another couple dead and big fan leaves. The buds are fattening up nicely and starting to smell a bit stronger now. Day 56 - The end of week 8 and she is fattening up nicely and really starting to put out a sweet smell. The pictures don’t do it any justice but some awesome colors coming out as well. She’s drinking a lot of water so I’ll be giving her some more water and nutes tomorrow.

Good week of fattening up , temps are on the rise by 2 degrees in the tent as summer gears up I would of liked to have had these done by now as the next few weeks are hot and humid . Just gotta keep that air flow up and cop the wind burn on the fan leaves . Started feeding every day last week instead of every other day and they are hooking thru their feeds . Will feed another week then a 2 or 3 week taper to flush . The smell from this purple punch is so strong and the leaves actually taste like blueberries , home stretch now

Note : jegliches Zubehör wird in der GermniationsWoche aufgelistet . Day 29: + PPFD 550 * 20h = DLI 39.6 + Flaschenwasser mit Canna-Boost 1.5Liter Die war komplett Trocken ... kaum zu glauben lol Day 30: Sie alles recht normal aus . Es entfaltet sich noch . Day 31: + Flaschenwasse 2L EC 0.26 PH 7.3 + + mit Dünger EC 0.7 PH 5.7 + Drain 0.25L mit EC 0.9 PH 6.8 Fazit : ich übe noch mit dem Dünger und dem "zuviel" an Urgesteinsmehl :)) Day 32: Das Wetter ist eine Katastrophe . Draussen ist es 21°C mit 90%rH . Hier drinnen sind es im Zelt 26°C und 67%. Im GrowRoom ,also praktisch meine 1 Zimmer Wohnung mit 2x2m Niesche hat so 25.5°C und 60%rH. Luftentfeuchter läuft , sonst geht hier gar nichts, aber der produziert Abwärme . Will ich nun kalte Luft von draussen wirds hier mit 77%rH geantwortet aber die Temperaturen gehen runter :)) Lass ich es bleiben und entfeuchte , ich habe eine undichte Hütte was die Luftfeuchtigkeit betrifft , dann steigt die Wärme wieder . ES IST EIN TEUFELSKREIS :)) Aber wie gut das ich weiss das auch die ganzen CSC's und auch die Profis ihre liebe mühe haben die Temp und Luftfeuchtigkeit zu regeln . Und nein , ich werde mir keine Klimanalage einauen die beides regeln kann. Ich wollte nicht ewig viel Geld für das Gras ausgeben :)) Also liebe Brüder und Schwester des gepflegten Ganja komsumes und Produzenten , wir sitzen alle im selben Boot . Und jeder versucht der beste Kaptain zu werden :)) P.S. ich weiss, ein neues Bott wäre gut :) Aber dadurch ändert sich nicht das Meer :)) Day 33 : Das Spiderfarmer Zelt 70x70x140x200cm ist fertig und Einsatzbereit . Meine kleinen Zwerge ziehen um . Im großen Zelt läßt sich die Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur besser regeln. Klingt komisch , ist es auch :)) Aber Ihr müsst auch nicht in denkbar schlechtester Bausubstanz leben und gärtnern :)) Day 34 : + Flaschenwasse 2L EC 0.26 PH 7.3 + + mit Dünger (Terra Vega 3.8ml/l , Rhizotonic 2.0ml/l , Boost 2.0ml/l , CannaZym 2.5ml/l ) = EC 0.7 PH 6.5 + + Final PH 6.1 Nach einigen Problemen mit der Abluft und der Umluft und die Luftfeuchtigkeit , versuchen die Zwerge sich jetzt im neuem Zelt zu aklimatisieren . Ich drück die Daumen . Day 35: Die Düngung war genau richtig . Meine Luftfeuchtigkeit geht auch . Temperaturen sind etwas hoch . Aber Sie entfaltet sich . Videos gibts heute Nacht. P.S. Da ich mal wieder zu schusselig bin eine Zeitschaltuhr und das Sanlight DIM System richtig zu nutzen , haben wir ein paar Lichtaussetzer gehabt , somit sind nicht an allen Tagen 20h Licht . In der nächsten Woche kommen 18h * PPFD 750 + 1h sonnenaufgang und + sonnenuntergang wird zu DLI 46.29 was etwas über das Limit von 45.00 geht . Schauen wir was passieren wird :))

*english version below* 🌿 HydroLab Germany – Vegiwoche 6: Zucker, Pilze & Präzisionswahnsinn Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo Wissenschaft und Wahnsinn weiter Hand in Hand tanzen – diesmal mit einem ordentlichen Schuss Zucker im System. 🍭⚗️ Projektstatus Die Damen machen sich weiter breit – Training läuft präzise nach Plan. Das Scrog-Netz wird nach und nach gefüllt, Triebe werden durchgeflochten und Blätter geopfert. Untenrum wurde ordentlich lollipopped – klinisch sauber, wie man’s im Labor mag. Neue Seitentriebe wachsen nach und werden sofort wieder ins Netz eingearbeitet – kontrolliertes Chaos in Reinform. ⚙️ Systemparameter 🌡️ Temperatur (Tag): 26 °C 💧 RLF: 65 % (geregelt über AC Infinity Cloudforge) ⚗️ Düngung: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (Grow, Bloom, Micro + B52 + Bud Candy) 📊 EC: 1,1 System: RDWC (4 × 30 L Euroboxen, DIY – weil zu groß gibt’s nicht) 🌊 Wasser: kühl, klar, quirlig – und jetzt offiziell lebendig Living RDWC Experiment Das Labor wird biologisch aktiv – Mykorrhiza, Zuckerquellen wie Bud Candy und bald Aloe Vera Saft & Chitosan sollen das Mikroleben pushen. Ziel: Den typischen „sterilen Hydro-Geschmack“ zähmen und mehr organische Tiefe schaffen. Kurz gesagt: Wir impfen das System mit Leben – und hoffen, dass es uns nicht auffrisst. 😄 🔍 Beobachtung Die Pflanzen zeigen kräftige Stämme, saubere Wurzeln und gleichmäßiges Wachstum. Das Netz wird von Tag zu Tag dichter – fast so, als hätte es einen eigenen Willen. Einige große Fächerblätter mussten für den Fortschritt sterben… aber hey, Wissenschaft verlangt Opfer. 🧠 Labornotiz Im HydroLab riecht’s mittlerweile nach Zuckerwatte trifft Nährlösung – ein Duft, der Erfolg verspricht. Alles deutet darauf hin, dass Leben im Wasser = Geschmack im Weed heißen könnte. Phase 6 läuft stabil – aber Stabilität ist hier ohnehin nur die Ruhe vor dem nächsten Versuch. ------------------------------------ 🌿 HydroLab Germany – Veg Week 6: Sugar, Fungi & Precision Madness Welcome back to the HydroLab, where science and insanity continue their delicate dance – this time with a healthy dose of sugar in the system. 🍭⚗️ Project Status The ladies are spreading beautifully – horizontal expansion: successful. The Scrog net is being woven tight, trichome soldiers in training, leaves removed for maximum efficiency. Below the net it’s now clinically clean – lollipopping complete. New shoots keep popping up, and every single one gets trained into position – controlled chaos at its finest. ⚙️ System Parameters 🌡️ Day Temp: 26 °C 💧 RH: 65% – perfectly managed by AC Infinity Cloudforge ⚗️ Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (Grow, Bloom, Micro + B52 + Bud Candy) 📊 EC: 1.1 System: RDWC (4 × 30L Euroboxes – DIY, because “too big” isn’t a thing) 🌊 Water: cool, clear, and officially alive Living RDWC Experiment This round, the Lab goes biologically active – Mycorrhiza, sugar sources like Bud Candy, and soon Aloe Vera juice and Chitosan join the mix. Goal: erase that “sterile hydro” flavor and bring organic depth to hydro-grown weed. In short: we’ve inoculated the system… and we just hope it stays friendly. 😄 🔍 Observations Strong stems, glowing white roots, uniform growth. The canopy is tightening up – like a neural network learning how to photosynthesize better. Some big fan leaves were sacrificed in the name of progress – science demands casualties. 🧠 Lab Notes The HydroLab now smells like nutrient solution and cotton candy – oddly promising. Early signs suggest the theory holds: life in the system = flavor in the flower. Phase 6 is stable… but in this Lab, stable only ever means “right before the next experiment.” 🔖 Tags:#HydroLab #RDWC #LivingRDWC #Scrog #AdvancedNutrients #BudCandy #ACInfinity #CannaScience #HydroExperiment #GrowTech #THCGrow #ScienceIsSexy #MycoPower

Cherry A causing me all sorts of issues. She's falling on top of Cherry B. And in turn, Cherry B is hitting into my other plants (Grandpa Stash). Also noticed what looks like pollen sacs on day 78.

Plant one is almost finished. Might have a week or less. might chop when mostly cloudy with some clear. Plant two is turning into a monster. I'm hopeful it will fill out like the one on the left. Slight yellowing of upper fan leaves. Other than that everything seems to be growing good.
