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 …

Hi liebe Freunde des Grow sports 😁 ich hoffe euch geht es allen gut, mir auf jeden Fall (bin ein grower mir scheint immer die Sonne aus dem arsch) 😂. So zum wesentlichen die Woche war ganz OK am 23.04 und am 24.04.22 war nur beobachten am 25.04.22 gab es Wasser (Ph 6,5) mit Nährstoffen + topping (stecki für einen Kumpel machen) für die Lady die noch im 3,6 L Topf steht sie soll ja in den garten aber hab das Gewächshaus noch nicht vorbereitet sprich gereinigt und aus geräumt (ich hab keine lust) muss jetzt aber mal am we anfangen. Am 26.04.22 gab es dann für die 4 Ladys im 8 L Topf Wasser (Ph, 6,5) ohne Nahrung und ich habe sie alle samt getoppt und schon mal die Stäbe für den Tomaten ring rein gesteckt dann verletze ich die Wurzeln nicht wenn sie am Topf-Rand ankommen. 27.04.22 heute habe ich alle Pflanzen in eine T-Form gebracht sprich einen mainfold gebildet (korregiert mich wenn ich falsch liege, und es doch nur main-lining ist, oder ist das sogar das selbe? 🙄😲😰) leider sind mir an 2 Ladys die Äste beim biegen leicht ein gerissen was die Ladys aber nicht sonderlich beeindruckt hat sie laufen einfach weiter also mache ich mir vorerst keine sorgen bin aber etwas vorsichtiger beim nächsten topping und biegen. Am 28.04 und 29.04.22 war nur beobachten Euch allen wie immer ein schönes Wochenende und Mega viel Ertrag bei euren Projekten......

Que pasa familia, vamos con la tercera semana de floración de estas Papaya Zoap F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros. Y también superaron el shock por el trasplante se recuperaron 100%. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El fotoperiodo esta a 12/12 para floración. Las jodidas estiraron bastante, y es algo que no me gusta de todas las F1, que cultive hasta ahora. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

🗓️ 8° WEEK FLO // DAY 50-56 (from switch) // DAY 127-133 (from dry seed) ⚡- Light: 30 cm / 250 watt; ⌛- Schedule: 12/12; 🌡️- 22.5° C - 65% RH average; 📑- PH 6.2 - EC 2; 💧- 8° DWC change; 🍔- Ripening blend: tap water EC 0.4 + CalMag 1 ml/l + Ripen 5 ml/l + Power Buds 1 ml/l; 🌱- Both are producing a lot of resin on their buds, the phenotype #2 is very sticky; 🌸- Trichomes are turning milky, some amber here and there. Harvest in 7 days; 🔜- We are almost at the end and I am already organizing my next two diaries, I really like this initial phase of organization and planning for the next four or five months. The "modus operandi" will be the same adopted in this cultivation, I will start with two very fast autoflowering plants and in the meantime I will give the two photoperiodic plants a long vegetative growth. I still have to decide on the strains, but I already have an idea. As far as the nutritional regime is concerned, there will be big changes, for the first time I will be using beneficial bacteria in my DWCs and anyone who has any advice on using them in this setup feel free to write to me and share some thoughts. 🆕- On week 15 I got the TrolMaster TCS-1 by @TrolMaster_Europe and I started to track my grow box data. I will add these info once I harvest!

Just topped it couldnt wait for it to get to 5-6 nodes. Was getting big looking healthy and at 4. So I topped it at the 3rd node the 4th was big enought to use as a cutting got 5 all together gave them to my dad he likes gardening not smoking. And there is a picture of all the plants in my tent the royal gorilla. Two mango sapphire in the darker pots. A chocolate haze is the more mature of the lighter pots. The seedling is a white widow that's going outside probably not the late June early July.

I received the clones from An out of province breeder. It reached me after three days of driving on the road with no light. Their future was not certain. I didn’t think I would need that many fans for the clones because they are so tiny, I figured they didn’t need that much maintenance. I was 100% wrong when I’m working with this many plants. I ended up getting mild mildew on top of the soil on the first week because there was barely any air circulation. At this point I didn’t have any Ventilation put up yet. And one fan on the floor. I ended up installing three fans in one room. No issues

~Entry for the 'Best Rarest & Smallest Pot by Seedsman' contest~ Starring 🤩.... ~ Seedsman Zkittlez Auto ~ Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto x Auto Fruit (Auto Fruit Cheese x Auto Blueberry) Zkittlez Auto is one of the very sweetest-tasting auto strains available anywhere. It is a sativa-dominant (60%) strain that was bred from Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto crossed with a male Fruit Kush Auto, the latter a remarkable fruity strain bred from Fruit Cheese Auto and Blueberry Auto. Growers can expect to harvest some good yields of high-THC buds. Zkittlez Auto remains a fairly short plant, rarely exceeding 120 cm. in height wherever it is grown. This is a vigorous plant which is able to metabolize a high level of nutrients and she's a thirsty girl too! If growing indoors close to neighbors it is strongly advised to ensure good and effective carbon air-filtration in order to neutralize powerful odors. This strain's life-cycle is approximately 90 days from seed to harvest. The leaves on this plant are big and wide serving to convert every lumen available into Zkittlez goodness. Indoor growers should obtain between 400 - 500 gr/m2 while plants cultivated outdoors will produce slightly more at 500 - 600 gr/m2. Lateral branching is very good and it is recommended to use supports/ties to prevent snapping and keep buds close to the light source. This strain's scent is sweet and fruity with candy and berry notes. Its high-THC has been measured at between 21 - 24% with less than 1% CBD. The effect is well-balanced, cerebral and euphoric, and is very good for social situations as well as for relaxing in front of the TV either alone or with company. It also has the added effect of helping to relieve chronic pain, helping with nausea, insomnia and depression as well as stimulating the appetite.** **Credit to Seedsman.com ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~ The Setup ~ ~ Grown in a 2qt plastic popcorn pot filled with Mother Earth Grow 70/30 Coco/Perlite with Xtreme Gardening Mykos added. ~ Seed was germinated directly in the medium without any 'pre-soak' ~ Feeding will be by Dutch Pro Nutrients ~ 24hr light cycle while germinating ~ 20/4 light cycle after first leaves appear. ~ 4x8 Gorilla Tent ~ HLG 650R w/ 30w Supplemental UVA Bar controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation.

To the well water I added the following Dutch Pro nutrients: Grow 'A' & 'B' @ 10ml/g, Multi Total @ 7.6 ml/g, Take Root @ 3.8 ml/g, Silica Von Liebig’s Special @ 1.2 ml/g along with Earth Juice's Oily Can @ 5 ml/g to end up with a total 850ppm nutrient solution. After adding the nutrients and checking the EC, I ph'd the solution to 6.0 @ 74℉. 11/24- I didn't water her today as her pot still had some weight to it. Her color and stamina remain excellent and she's approaching 6" tall now! 11/26- Today when I checked her pot it was feather light so I went ahead and watered/fed her with 0.25g of well water with a base ppm of 100 that I allowed the excess to drain to waste. To the well water I added the following Dutch Pro nutrients: Grow 'A' & 'B' @ 10ml/g, Multi Total @ 7.6 ml/g, Take Root @ 3.8 ml/g, Silica Von Liebig’s Special @ 1.2 ml/g along with Earth Juice's Oily Can @ 5 ml/g to end up with a total 850ppm nutrient solution. After adding the nutrients and checking the EC, I ph'd the solution to 6.0 @ 74℉. I also noticed today that she is starting to show signs of pre-flower with some nodes showing emerging pistils! 11/28- The Zkittlez Auto has entered into pre-flower and in a week, give or take, she'll be going through her stretch and we'll see what this girl's got going on! No water today, I just turned her pot and tucked a couple of shade leaves. See you all next week! 😎👍❤️ ~ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following my grows and for all the ❤️and support you give! 💚What you grow - Grow what you💚

11/24 - Will be Adding Silica and CalMag to watering, 550-600ppm - Lighting Average 625ppfd 11/25 - Drip system in-place and usable. Waiting on my new AC Infinity 8-port controller, then I'll be throwing the pump on a controlled outlet. Figured out flow rate per minute, so I'm hoping I can schedule it to run once daily and essentially auto deliver a specific amount of water. Changed filter sock, there was a bit of residual perlite dust from when I added the top layer to the pots.

End of Week 8 (First week of flower) Increased the CO2 to 1200ppm and the ladies love it, already started stretching within the first 3 days of flower which shows that CO2 definitely boosts the grow cycle of cannabis. The main top-sites are popping up everywhere and everything looks evenly spread out. I defoliated again because the fan leaves are growing so fast and blocking bud sites. I also did one last lower canopy maintenance and removed small and stalky bud sites and stems below the trellis net to make sure I get maximum energy distribution to the main colas. I also added some GHF BioEnhancer to make sure the soil-microbes are happy and that the plants reach their maximum potential. Pest Report: EXTERMINATED! Thrips VS Ladybugs VS Neem Oil... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. Then to be extra sure I know that neem oil hinders the life cycle of pests like thrips causing them to stop colonising in my grow room. So I sprayed the ladies every day during the dark period to make sure there are no pests that I or the Ladybugs have missed. Mission accomplished. No more wilting and definitely no more thrips.
