This week in my grow room has been full of developments. First, I added additional lights because I couldn't get the relative humidity (RH) under control. I ordered a dehumidifier, but it will take a few weeks to arrive, so I had to find a temporary solution. I also emptied the reservoir and refilled it with fresh water and nutrients. I secured the net to ensure it stays in place under tension. In two days, I plan to switch the light schedule to 12/12, hoping the plants will stretch a bit during the switch to avoid having overly large buds that aren't evenly spread. Seventeen hours later, I decided to keep the lights on a 16/8 schedule for a few more days. The plants are starting to show signs of something happening, so I want to see how they develop. I will keep you updated on the progress. Then, I received a message from my supplier that the dehumidifier would arrive today. Great news—time to spice things up! On June 2nd, the dehumidifier arrived, and I managed to get my Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) to 1.17! This is fantastic news, and I'm very curious how this will affect water usage. The dehumidifier seems pretty powerful, with water literally dripping out of the hose, so I'm no longer worried about high humidity levels. It's a shame it doesn't have a range setting, but I couldn't expect more for the price. I'm considering ordering the Dimlux Auxbox to set a working range and separate day/night settings. Thankfully, the dehumidifier has an auto-restart function after a power loss. On June 3rd, the night is over, and while my values are now more stable, I haven't noticed any significant differences in water absorption. What I do notice is that the pots seem much drier. The difference in leaf temperature compared to the room temperature has increased slightly, now about a 2˚C difference, indicating that evaporation has increased somewhat. Despite the dehumidifier cooling the air, the room temperature has risen. This is explainable since dry air heats up faster than humid air. The CO2 heater is also running significantly longer. So, although there are no immediately visible differences, there are indeed some changes. Today is the last short night of 8 hours, and tomorrow will be the first night of 12 hours. I am contemplating doing a 10-hour night first and will decide later tonight. After closely reviewing the video footage, I noticed some divergent colors on the leaves. My pH is currently 6.4, which I had adjusted to compensate for the low pH last week—a foolish decision in coco, I know. I plan to make videos of each individual plant for my records to investigate further. The light is too intense to inspect them up close, so the videos will help me get a better look.

This week would be the end of week 2 and the end of streach. Gave a dose of build a flower beggining of the week and they have responded fast they are big for inside plants pretty much whole 5x5 is covered. Did lil defoliating to get the overlaps of bud sites and could tell a diffrence after a few days. Have a slight sknunky bud smell when first open tent. Still just hand watering every other day when meeter runs below a 3. Going great still stay tuned!!!

8/2 Fed two gallons this morning and took some hurried pictures. Did SLIGHT defoliation of dead leaves. Didn't have much time to inspect things. I'll check things out later this afternoon. Need to go in at night and see what critters are about. Woke very late so it was a very hurried morning. Rained last night like I expected. It's 68 at 9:30 and looks like rain. 8/3 Nice and sunny and 80 at noon. Didn't water as it rained last night nor did I get a chance to defoliate. After seeing a comment about mites I decided to break out the ol 100x scope. I took random samplings of leaves on different plants. I found ZERO mites. Just because I didn't find any doesn't mean they aren't there but it brings my anxiety down a little. While looking I did notice something is munching leaves. I wanted to use something to continue treatment for WPM and any random bugs but I may need to use captain jack's. I have lady bugs and don't want to kill them but I might just have too. I don't know if earwigs are a big problem or the holes are from pillars or hoppers or whatever else. Observing the weather and the 40 degree mornings and the wind tunnel I seem to be in, I don't see mites setting up shop or sticking around too long in these conditions. Either way if I missed something the IPM will get it. I bought general hydroponics cool bloom that I'm considering switching from tiger bloom. My tiger bloom is from last year and it seems to be crystalized a little in the bottom. We shall see. This is the last year of liquid nutes I hope. 8/4 Watered this morning and defoliated dead leaves. Looking on the inside of the plants I've noticed what looks like small leaves by bud sites dying or being chomped on. Not a single fucking aphid anywhere. I think those earwigs got a taste for those sweet lower bud sites and may be causing damage. It kinda helped as all they did was lollipop a couple lower branches in spots. Still I believe it will become a problem if left unchecked. Plan is to treat plants tonight with captain Jack's. I have a little more research to do but I believe that's the route I'll take. I noticed some pillar holes and other assorted pests so I think now's a good time to hit them with the Spinosid. Plants are looking good though. I can see cola's forming and hairs coming together to make small buds. What a great time. I have so much to do but I'm so busy with the other things going on it's hard to keep up. I'll update as I progress. Plans are fluid. 8/5 Topsoil was dry despite the rain we had so I watered and defoliated what needed and pruned some inner branches I missed yesterday. I don't like leaving exposed matter when it's wet. It's not supposed to rain until around 1pm. I'm getting frustrated. I can't find the earwigs anymore and "life" had kept me from being the best gardener I could be. Last year I woulda been out with a spray bottle every night looking for them. I need to visit the garden at night. I think I need to lower my pH too. Hopefully the apple cider vinegar spray I plan to use will help some. The water going in is good so I don't get how the pH is higher at the root zone. I've seen random damage from different pests. Tonight I'm putting petroleum jelly on the stalks and anywhere the bugs can climb up. I also plan on spraying spinosid tonight. I will update as I progress. The traps I made haven't caught a single bug. A little frustrated this morning but the garden looks gorgeous. 8/6 Rained last night. This wet weather sucks. Found a couple spots where bud shoots had been eaten as well as other tell tale signs. It's got to be those earwigs. I've researched my ass off and have none of the normal pests I usually would this time of year. Especially aphids. I have lady bugs but no way they controlled pests this well. More likely the wigs ran out of food and got a taste for nice cannabis shoots and leaves. I can't seem to make it happen at night so this morning I liberally sprayed all plants with a gallon of captain Jack's dead bug at 2tbsp a gallon as recommended. Spinosid works good and I've used it in the past with BT. Should take care of whatever. I sprayed around the cage too but I couldn't find anything. I read Spinosid is good at controlling those fucking earwigs too. Did you know earwigs are 20 million years old and the only species in their genus. I certainly didn't. I see leaf septoria all over the foliage around. By around I mean just driving or walking in the woods. It seems bad this year. At least it hasn't gotten to my garden yet. Garden is away from most other vegetation. I have ONE plant In that 30 gallon tote at the back outside my cage that I can tell has leaf septoria 💯. I don't know if I should cull it or try to fight it. I'll pick up a copper based fungicide and try first. I'm at that point where this plant was just extra and neglected so maybe it would be better of somewhere else. I may just isolate it. Hurried morning. No time for defoliation not pictures. I will update as I go. I will start apple cider vinegar spray probably tomorrow after I feed. I'm researching how to check my pH with an indicator liquid. Maybe I can get a better idea of the pH at my root zone. Those soil meters suck. Update I went for a hike just to check out the foliage in the area. I'm lucky. Japanese beetles have stripped a lot of vegetation around here but have luckily left my cannabis alone. I've killed like four total. I also noticed tons of fungal infections in trees (different area from my grow but within a mile). Hopefully I can come to decision about treating or culling that plant. 8/7 Looks like it's going to be a good day weather wise. Like I said my tiger bloom has what seems like small crystals that rattle when I shake the bottle. I know it's probably better to use one line of products but I switched to GH liquid cool bloom 0-10-10. It came highly recommended so we shall see. Plants seem to be doing well with the transition to flower. They look healthy despite the little ones outside the cage and the one with the fungal infection. Even that has nice tops it's just the bottom that looks fucked up. I think I'll bring it away from the others and attempt to treat it. Luckily it was just an experiment and a bag seed. After taking a hike I realized I'm quite lucky. Local foliage has been skeletonized by japanese beetles. This relentless rain has brought about fungal infections in trees, shrubs and even fruiting plants like blackberries. Things could definitely be much worse. I'm picking up a fungicide today to treat that plant. PM seems to be in check for now but I'll need to stay on top of it. Also need to try to get litmus paper or something to test soil pH. Meter is junk. I have indicator liquid though. I'll update as I progress. 8/8 Its been raining almost every night. Another challenge for the outdoor grower. I defoliated more leaves this morning. I noticed previous damage on bud sites that appears to be from earwigs. Also dead sugar leaves on new bud shoots down low and inside. Glad I got the Spinosid treatment in. At least whatever ate it will be dead. Need to still figure out what to do with that plant and whether it has leaf septoria or just a more advanced powdery mildew. I'm in town now and I'm planning to pick up a copper based fungicide just in case. I may isolate the one plant and treat everything and go from there. It's a large plant but seems to have lost most of its leaves. Not sure if switching the nutes was a good idea as I read that tiger bloom doesn't really expire and it's made to go with the rest of the nutes I'm using. Next week I need to stay on top of treatments and continuing to monitor for PM or other damage. Other than that plants look healthy and are transitioning to flower pretty well. Sunny and Tempe reached 90. RH is stupid high

Helllooo, schönen Sonntag und 4. Advent euch =)🎄 🌱 Wochenupdate Es läuft weiterhin alles wie geplant =D Jetzt, wo alle größeren Maßnahmen durch sind, ist der Run deutlich ruhiger geworden. Aktuell steht alles unter dem Motto Monitoring, ich nehme lediglich kleine Optimierungen vor =) Die 4 Genetiken beginnen deutlich unterschiedliche Morphologien zu zeigen, und ich liebe es 😍💚 Verschiedene Grüntöne, Blattformen, Harzbildung und Wachstum, geiler Scheiß =D 🔥 Bin so gespannt, wie es in Full Flower aussehen wird 🌸 Das Einzige, was mich etwas stört, ist, dass das Canopy unebener geworden ist, als ich es mir erhofft hatte.. Mir war klar, dass es ein frommer Wunsch ist, komplett even zu bleiben, aber dass es doch so holprig wird, habe ich nicht erwartet 😅 Da die beiden pushy Ladies auf derselben Seite stehen, sollten die Lichtverhältnisse trotzdem im gesamten Canopy weiterhin im akzeptablen Bereich bleiben =) Rückblickend war ich beim Sorten auch einfach zu ambitioniert, was mir jetzt ein wenig in den Hintern beißt =D Mir fehlen freie Meshes, um wirklich noch flacher zu führen. Sonst bin ich bis hierhin super zufrieden und freu mich einfach wie ein kleines Kind jedes Mal, wenn ich meinen Kopf ins Zelt stecke =D💚 🌿 Pflanzenstatus & Training Overall habe ich jetzt Ende der Woche nochmals funktional unter der Canopy entlaubt, um eine gute Luftzirkulation aufrechtzuerhalten 🍃 Über der Canopy entferne ich weiterhin selektiv nur Blätter, die beginnen, Schatten zu werfen, nach innen wachsen oder sich übereinander legen 😊 Blueberry Cupcake ist vom Stiel bis zum Ansatz voll mit Trichomen =) Sie sieht jetzt schon echt heftig aus 🔥 Ich bin leider ein bisschen erkältet aktuell – das nächste Mal gibt’s ein Geruchs-Review =D Purpz ist gleichauf mit BBCC, würde ich sagen 😊 Dasselbe Maß an Trichom-Bildung, etwas weitere Internodien-Abstände und an den Blättern sieht man die Sativa-Genetik durchkommen =) 🌿 Auch jetzt schon wirklich ein Hingucker, finde ich 😄 Notorious THC ist von den Blättern eher in einer Indica-Richtung unterwegs. Raue, pralle Blätter mit ausgeprägten Adern 💪 Musste hier echt erst mal mit anderen Runs vergleichen, um sicherzugehen, dass das so auszusehen hat =D Trichom-Bildung hat hier auch eingesetzt, aber aktuell noch eher unspektakulär konservativ 😊 Um den Ansatz und leicht auf den Blättern, am Stiel nur minimal 🌱 Guzzlerz entwickelt sich auch wie sie soll, hängt nur nach wie vor echt hinterher 😅 Sie hat schöne kleine Blütenstände, die Trichom-Bildung hat bei ihr allerdings erst begonnen. Bin echt gespannt, was da noch kommt =) Aktuell wirkt sie einfach zart 💚 Und trotz allem bin ich auch einfach wirklich glücklich darüber, dass ich das Projekt dann eben mit einem Nachzügler wie geplant starten konnte 😊 ⚙️ System Top-Ups erhalten die Lösung weiterhin =) 1,15 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt EC 2000–2100 µS/cm 1000 PPFD Danke für eure Zeit mal wieder 😊 Schöne Weihnachten 🎄 schöne Feiertage und lasst es euch gut gehen =)💚

I sowed cantaloupe bag seeds directly to flower box drip irrigation.I transplanted my white widow seedling to flower box. So the new line up this run is cantaloupe, blueberry, Girl Scout cookies and white widow. Cantaloupe seeds sprouted and i will keep the most vigorous grower.bb is throwing pistils.GSC is producing first set of true leaves. At the end of week 2 cantaloupe has first leaves so does white widow. My Gsc has first set of true leaves and my blueberry is putting out pistils and trichs.Things are going well

Eh estado desconectado pero aquí va algo más de estas nenas, aun las tengo en periodo de vegetación. Lo que si esta semana logramos instalar la carpa correspondiente para estas nenas así que estamos esperando a llenar la carpa y poder pasar a floración. La estructura habla por si sola, aun no le hago amarres correspondientes ya que estoy esperando que me lleguen los soportes y poder darle más vigor del que ya tiene con el apoyo. Estamos probando cannaboost via folear 3 veces por día 2 ml x litro. lo vamos a utilizar hasta el día 21 de floración y comenzamos vía riego. quiero comprobar diferencias ya que todos mis cultivos tengo que probar alguna cosa nueva ya sea estilo de alimentación o lo que sea. Siempre dispuesto a resolver cualquier duda me pueden encontrar en instagram @chocolopeison Saludos

Transplanted the ladies this week! Moved them into a 4 gallon pot, I plan on letting them get settled and flipping to flower soon. Temps were good this week, RH was steady at about 60%. No big surprises with the transplant, however it did take them a day or two longer than my typical recovery time.

Day 42 The plants are showing steady growth and good health. The structure is filling out nicely, with strong branches and vibrant green leaves. Stretching has started, indicating the transition into the early flowering stage. The canopy is even and well-balanced, and new shoots are developing quickly. I’ll continue monitoring light height and nutrient levels to support smooth growth as flowering progresses. So far, everything looks on track for a healthy bloom phase ahead.

Backing off the feeds a little now that they are coming into the final weeks of flower. Did a good bit of defoliating this week to help get airflow to the lower areas. Happy with the bud growth they are really starting to fatten up now. Onto week 8! 😬✌️

Gorilla Zkittlez 😃 Hunrig Gesund, und stressfrei 😃 endlich läuft es und der anfängliche Kopffick ist etwas in vergessenheiteraten wenn ich täglich meine Babys so sehe :slight_smile: habe diese Woche mit der Halbenration gestarte. DOch musste bemerken dass sie etwas mehr gebraucht haben eine der vier hatte ein kleinen Tick verdrehtes Blätterwerk was nun aber am ende der Woche so gut wie verflogen ist es wurde 2 mal gegossen 1 mal mit der Halben Portion des Hesi chemas und in der Mitte der Woche nochmal mit voller Dosis :slight_smile: die blätter Wachsen nun wieder gleichmäßig ohne wellen zu schlagen :slight_smile: getopt habe ich diese Woche noch nicht da ich das gefühl hatte ein wenig schonzeit würde Ihnen noch gut tun

Last week. Big buds, and rockhard. starting to get really sticky in the last 2 weeks, prior that it was not sticky at all like other plants most of the time do. Doesn't smell too strong, smells a bit sweet,sour,candy like.

Ya estamos en plena floración y con las luminarias a max potencia... Evidentemente el aire acondicionado también está trabajando durante la fase de encendido. Flowa-Bloom es la estrella de los nutrientes a incorporar, pero todos son importantes... Así que sigo la tabla de fertilización de JUJU Royal al pie de la letra. Eso si, primero humedezco bien el sustrato con agua, para aprovechar bien la solución con los nutrientes y que no filtre por las macetas textiles. Riego cada cuatro días.
