Woche 12 | Laughing Buddha | Der Umzug ins Hobbit-Megaprojekt Diese Woche stand ein Meilenstein an. Die Autos sind geerntet und gecurt, die Gorilla 720W hängt endlich an ihrem Platz und die Laughing Buddha durfte in ihr neues Zuhause umziehen. Und was soll ich sagen? Sie scheint den Umzug nicht nur gut verkraftet zu haben… …sie scheint darauf gewartet zu haben. 😅 Das neue Zuhause In den letzten Tagen wurde der große Growbereich aufgebaut. * 120 × 120 cm SCROG-Fläche * Zwei Netze (später zur Blüte sogar drei) * Gorilla 720W LED Gen II * Controller mit Sensorik * Klimaanlage * Luftbefeuchter * Mehrere Umluftventilatoren Auf den ersten Blick wirkt das Setup fast absurd groß für eine einzelne Pflanze. Als die Buddha frisch eingezogen war, wirkte das Netz riesig und die Pflanze fast verloren. Keine 24 Stunden später sah die Sache schon ganz anders aus. Test der “Billig-Lampe” Bevor die Laughing Buddha endgültig ihren Platz bekam, wurde noch eine günstige LED getestet. Das Ergebnis war überraschend positiv. Für eine preiswerte Lampe lieferte sie deutlich mehr Licht als erwartet und könnte für Anzucht, Stecklinge oder kleine Projekte durchaus interessant sein. Trotzdem wurde schnell klar: Für dieses Projekt spielt die Gorilla in einer ganz anderen Liga. Der Unterschied in der Lichtverteilung ist enorm. Erste Messungen mit der Gorilla 720W Natürlich musste die neue Lampe ausführlich getestet werden. Aktuell läuft die Gorilla auf: * 50 % Leistung * 50 cm Abstand Gemessen wurden dabei rund: 374 PPFD Das klingt zunächst wenig für eine 720W-Lampe. Man darf aber nicht vergessen: Die Fläche ist riesig und die Pflanze befindet sich noch mitten in der Vegetationsphase. Der Vorteil liegt aktuell nicht in maximaler Intensität, sondern in der unglaublich gleichmäßigen Ausleuchtung. Die Buddha bekommt jetzt Licht auf die komplette Krone statt nur auf die obersten Spitzen. Klima läuft erstaunlich stabil Die ersten 24 Stunden nach dem Umzug wurden genau beobachtet. Temperatur: * Nacht: etwa 21–22 °C * Tag: etwa 23–24 °C Luftfeuchtigkeit: * meist zwischen 60–65 % VPD: * überwiegend zwischen 0,8 und 1,2 kPa Genau der Bereich, den ich aktuell sehen möchte. Besonders interessant: Die stärksten Wachstumsschübe fielen genau in die Zeit, in der Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit und VPD optimal zusammenarbeiteten. Die Buddha scheint sich unter diesen Bedingungen ausgesprochen wohlzufühlen. Die Reaktion der Pflanze Und jetzt wird es verrückt. Die Triebspitzen lagen nach dem Umzug vollständig unter dem Netz. Nur etwa 24 Stunden später drückten sie bereits wieder nach oben. Das Wachstum ist aktuell beeindruckend. Die Krone wird breiter, dichter und gleichmäßiger. Der Stamm hat mittlerweile eher die Dimension eines kleinen Baumes als die einer Zimmerpflanze. Besonders erfreulich: Die Mitte arbeitet genauso aktiv mit wie die äußeren Bereiche. Genau das möchte man bei einem großen SCROG sehen. Der Plan bis zum Urlaub In zehn Tagen geht es für zehn Tage in den Urlaub. Ursprünglich stand die Frage im Raum, ob die Buddha vorher noch in die Blüte geschickt werden soll. Nach reiflicher Überlegung fiel die Entscheidung dagegen. Der neue Plan: * Weiter wachsen lassen * Netz 1 füllen * Etwa 10 cm Höhe gewinnen lassen * Die Spitzen ins nächste Netz wachsen lassen * Bis zum Urlaub weiter verteilen Während des Urlaubs wird lediglich gegossen. Nach der Rückkehr folgt: * Große Bestandsaufnahme * Triebe neu verteilen * Alles auf eine Höhe bringen * Unterhalb der Netze gründlich aufräumen * Kurze Erholungsphase Erst danach erfolgt der Wechsel auf 12/12. Kontrolle statt Rekorde Ursprünglich stand die Idee im Raum, etwa 72 Tops unter den 720 Watt zu platzieren. Das bleibt weiterhin ein spannendes Ziel. Allerdings wird die Kontrolle über das Blätterdach wichtiger genommen als eine möglichst hohe Anzahl an Trieben. Lieber 50 bis 60 perfekt positionierte Speere als ein völlig überfülltes Netz. Alles, was später nicht sauber ins Konzept passt, wird konsequent entfernt. Am Ende zählt nicht die Anzahl der Triebe, sondern die Qualität des Canopys. Fazit der Woche Diese Woche hat gezeigt, welches Potenzial in dieser Pflanze steckt. Der Umzug verlief problemlos. Die Gorilla liefert exakt das, was ich mir erhofft hatte. Das Klima arbeitet stabil. Und die Laughing Buddha scheint gerade erst richtig in Fahrt zu kommen. Noch steht sie mitten in der Vegetationsphase. Noch laufen lediglich 50 % Lampenleistung. Noch ist nicht einmal das erste Netz vollständig gefüllt. Aber zum ersten Mal habe ich das Gefühl, dass dieses Projekt etwas ganz Besonderes werden könnte. Die nächsten Wochen werden zeigen, wie weit die Buddha dieses Netz tatsächlich erobern möchte. Eines steht fest: Langweilig wird es definitiv nicht. 😎

Plein de trichs mademoiselle a pris un coups de froid volontaire.

This is one of my favorite strains. For sure one that i will always have in my own personal seed bank.

Always R.O Water Watering the plant 3 times for per week 1st Watering with nutriens. (1000 ppm) (27.03.2023) 4 liter 2st Watering with nutriens. (1000 ppm) (30.03.2023) 4 liter 3st Watering with only R.O water & CalMag. (300 ppm) 1000 PPFD

Had some severe drooping on one side of the plant. It was kind of weird, but most likely nothing. I was under watering quite a bit in an attempt to make sure I didn’t flush out the benes and nutrients of the super soil. Ironically, I might have killed all the benes. Lol. Either way, they’re getting about 2.5 gal every other day now. Growing strong. Just did another spinosad treatment. Haven’t seen any more thrips since the first treatment 10 or so days ago. Saw a leaf hopper in there though 😡

I pump the juice, they drink the juice. Then we do it again.....

At the end of week 6 the buds are bulking up and the trichomes are going milky with red hairs pulling in will wait for more amber trichs before harvest which I anticipate around week 8-10.

Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of flowering. OK... One more week of light and then a couple of days of dark and then harvest. Everything is going good here. Had 2 good watering last week. the plants are using up the nutrient that's left in the soil. So I'm expecting some yellowing of leaves next week. I got in touch with UKHTA Seeds last week and they said they would love it if I would give my 50% off code to someone on grow diaries. So I've got a 50% of your first order code from UKHTA Seeds, Needs to be used by May1st 2026 though. They would love it if diaries were made for the seeds. Could you privet message me if your interested. If there's more than a couple of people interested I'll ask "why would YOU like these seeds" sorta quick contest to find a winner. Let me know. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

4ª settimana di fioritura per la nostra AUTO BRUCE LEMON DIESEL🚗

6/28 I had to water deeply despite watering thoroughly yesterday. This heat wave is supposed to pass today. We have had temps in the 90's. Ihate it but the girls seem to love it. RH is super high and controlling pm is a pain in the balls. When my connection is better I'll add my vid and photos. Still need a follow up preventative spray. BT is really awesome but super narrow and I've found random stink bugs, earwigs, crickets and grasshoppers as well as easily identifiable leaf damage. I'm thinking Spinosid. Save my PM stuff for PM. Tried checking my PH with a soil meter. The bags are basically just roots. The only two plants it read came to 6.5 which is strange because I usually run around 7.3. I'll certainly take it. If it's correct that is. RH 64 TEMP 84 6/29 Didn't water this morning due to a torrential downpour last night. Nothing broken after first glance. The thunder and wind woke me last night. This storm was horrific yet my plants still seem unaffected. Need to rearrange the cage. It will be a pain to have to move that ice cream cake. Maybe I could find a way to modify the cage outwards. I also need to move the plant in the tote in the back. Luckily I got back and watered before plants dried out. Noticed a FEW dead or yellow leaves on the middle interior of some plants. I upped dosage of growbig last feed and fed a little earlier. I'll go back to my normal feeding schedule and see what happens. Thing is the plants are getting huge so I would think increased nutes would help. Couldn't he lockout. Too much water. Maybe nutes in the soil are leaving? I'll figure it out. I temporarily pulled the stalk on the ice cream cake back and tied it to the posts to get it off the fence. 6/30. 90s again today. I deeply watered and noticed a couple more yellow leaves (bottom middlish). Only thing that was changed was feeding. I may go back to original schedule. Funeral today so I'll have to check things out later. UPDATE: Went back maybe sux hours after watering to find the grow bags dry. I reached my hand in the side and it's pretty much all roots. These high temperatures and wind are drying my plants out. No droop but the soil WAS dry. I watered again and plan to check again tonight. When temps go down I'll probably do a preventative Spinosid spray. 7/1 Watered and fed two gallons. Grow big at 1 1/2 tbsp. Still some yellow leaves on the interior. I'm talking like maybe five. Accidentally destroyed lace wing eggs. I knew it was something to keep an eye out for but I mistakenly thought it was BAD. Oh well it was just two eggs. I'm sure there are more. Tried measuring PH with soil meter but the only two plants that registered were 6.5 and 6.6. I believe the PH to be a bit higher. The bags are so full of roots it's hard to get a measurement. I know my soil and water WAS on point before my gauge broke. However I leave the 7.3 as that was about what the big ones tested at last time measured. 7/2 These are some resilient strains. Currently 54 degrees at 9am. It had been 80 or 90 in the last few days. Perfect rain today. A light shower all day. Obviously didn't water. Found a few yellow leaves but the plants look so good. The also seem to be stretching but it's far to early for the preflower stretch. I'll keep an eye out. Things are looking pretty good. Still need to move that plant in the back. 7/3 Watered today. Looks like it might rain but top soil was a little dry. Also noticed this site measures teaspoons not tablespoons which is how I measure. I'll need to adjust that. There's tell tale damage from a variety of pests (leaf hoppers, pillars, grasshoppers ECT.) So I think I'm going to do a spray within the next couple days. Im leaning towards Spinosid but Dr. Zymes supposably helps the PM as well. I'll do more research and update. 7/4 54 degrees and raining. Haven't checked the girls out yet today.

Hi everyone, Weed brothers We have reached the end of a new chapter by testing a new variety. This phenotype was not very exposed to light and still managed to give the best of it despite having a very small pot. Strepitous colors and lots of shades

This week I found a hermaphrodite amongst the ladies. I got rid of it but not before it dropped a little pollen 😭.. I,ve got my fingers crossed 🤞

Guys it's been fun

Finally getting her dialed in, guess I better mentally prepare for flowering. *slaps face* All week I kept bending further down, any stem that shot up past a point where it could reach the next square across in any direction that needed to be filled, nice and easy. Tweak tweak tweak all week. Break Apical dominance In botany, apical dominance is the phenomenon whereby the main, central stem of the plant is dominant over other side stems; on a branch the main stem of the branch is further dominant over its own side twigs. Resonance transfer occurs because the energy waveforms coming out of a vibrating substance have nearly identical waveforms. The phase relationships of a resonating system can be defined in terms of the angular separation that exists between adjacent molecules. The six molecules that form one hexagonal ring, when in resonance, will vibrate or broadcast its energy on a wave that has a particular frequency. The first molecule will vibrate influencing the second molecule; the second will affect the third, and so on. The time intervals between successive broadcasts will result in a phase delay which can be converted into a phase angle. Successive waves coming from an oscillating system have successive phase angles that equal the angular separation that exists between members of the system. The phase angle within the vibrating ring of water molecules is 60 degrees (360 divided by 6). If there were 7 molecules in the ring the phase angle would be 360/7 or 51.43 degrees. This is the principle phase angle of quartz. Most of the internal angles of water and quartz are either fractions of this angle or multiples of it. It is the interlattice resonance between the quartz microstate and the lyotropic mesophase that is the determining factor in the formation of the lyotropic mesophase in water. It is the reason that water can be structured by spinning it around a tuned quartz crystal. It does not require large amounts of energy to accomplish this. As an example of resonant transfer, one can imagine a series of dominoes being placed across the United States. from San Francisco to Washington. Each successive domino would be slightly larger and heavier than the previous piece. By the time we reached Washington, the final domino might be as large as the Washington monument. By applying a slight push to the first domino, less than one pennyweight, each domino would be knocked over until the final piece was toppled. Through the introduction of a very small energy to a system the result is the production of enough energy to knock over the final very large and heavy domino.
