Yo community! A friend of mine just started a Legal Grow in Germany with his roomate under my Supervision, as it is now Legal to grow in Germany. So I thought about documenting this grow. I've been growing for long time now, but my buddy Bili is a complete newbee at this stuff. I am positive that this "is gonna be huge". We plan on growing 6 plants. Bili is gonna be growing 3 and his roomate also 3 plants. Of course Bili will only care for his own 3 plants and his rommate for the other 3 as it is regulated like that by law. It is Germany where everything has to be like this apparently. lol. This grow will be 2-3 Weeks indoors 51w with low cost 3x17 Watts 4000 k LED Bulbs. (3€ each) Those produce 2500 lumens each, about 147 lm/W 1.45 l pots for the first few weeks indoors. The plants will then go into 5l pots on the window sill until harvest. faced to the south. So far the seeds have been placed into water over night. tomorrow we will put them into the soil. They are all Automatics. Day 2: seeds soaked over night. about 16 hours. The Gelato are already opening their shells.. The others are still closed. All sinked to the bottom over night. We are now planting them into the Soil.:) We soaked 9 seeds. 3x O.B. 4x Kryptonite and 2x Gelato. After cutting the dome off the lamps and counting the LED's (81) it looks like these are 0.21w SMD 31lm per LED (manufacturer says 147lm/w). for bulbs really good little LED's. looks like these are cree 2835 J series or similar types. there are cree 4000k J types that are exactly 31lm wich would be exactly what each LED should produce. (2500/81). Plant in Soil Date was 05 june. 14:00 Today, 2 Days and 10 hours, (58 hours) after planting in soil The 2 Gelatos came to life:) and one Kryptonite basically 3 full days including soaking time. 08.06 at 1:30 is the beginning of VEG Day one We will give them 24 hours light. day 5 after waterglass. Berries still no sign of life. lamp is at 30 cm distance. no signs of stretching. At Day 5 Veg we located the berry seeds and put them into paper towel, cracked them open and scraped the shell. we have enough plants now but nothing to choose from in case a plant has weak genes. So we hope a few berries will make it. probably old Seeds.

Week 4 8/9 - All the girls are still moist so no water today as I'll let them dry out a bit until tomorrow when I'll check them again in the morning. The FastBuds Purple Lemonade and Seedsman Gelato OG girls are ALL getting it done! They are all 8" and bushy as hell! I've been tucking leaves, gently bending branches and doing my daily LST on all the girls to stay on top of them in this stretch before flower. 8/10- Checked the soil on all the ladies and it was very moist down deep, but fairly dry in the top 4" so I gave all the ladies a small drink (1 quart each) of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 @ 77deg. OMG they are really starting to bush out and stretch now, especially the girls in the Fox Farm/Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate mix, they're literally exploding! FastBuds Purple Lemonade and Seedsman Gelato OG's continue to lead the pack with growth and overall looks although the rest are now looking like they're gonna give them a run for their money! 8/11- No water for the girl's today. Mail Call! The Nematodes arrived today, 10 million of them, goodbye Fungus Gnats!😀 Temp's, RH and VPD all remain on point with day temps running 75-84 deg. and 68-74 deg. during the 5 hour dark period, RH maintaining @ 50-55% (I've been running the humidifier set @55% and I'm adjusting the ph to 6.5 on the water in it as well and the VPD runs from .90 to 1.18. Started a batch of Compost Tea ( 4g de-chlorinated 6.9ph water, 4 cups Worm Castings, 2/3 cup Kelp Meal, 2/3 cup Alfalfa Meal, 1/4 cup Bat Guano, 2 scoops Great White Mycorrhiza, 4 tbsp. Neptune's Harvest Seaweed Extract, 2 tbsp Alaskan Fish Extract and 1/3 cup unsulfured molasses) for the girls breakfast in 2 days. They're all growing like crazy now and the FastBuds Crystal Meth is beginning to flower along with one of the FB Purple Lemonades, the rest shouldn't be far behind. 8/12- Applied the Nematodes to all the girls this morning mixed into 2 gallons of 75 deg de-chlorinated 6.8ph water divided equally among them. I continued with my daily mild LST on all the girls, continuing to spread them out to allow light to reach all parts of the plants. I also cranked up the HLG 650R's to 450 watts each for a total of 900w @ the wall hung @ 36" from the soil. After I eventually have them cranked to max during flower I may drop them slightly depending on how the girls react. 8/13- Compost Tea for breakfast! Fed the girl's 1/2g each through the top with tea (840ppm, 1780EC, 7.6ph @ 81 deg), tucked shade leaves and LST'd where needed. FastBuds Purple Lemonade's and Crystal Meth's are all in flower, still waiting on Seedsman! Growth is phenomenal, girls are healthy looking with the exception of the Seedsman Gelato OG in SOHUM Living Soil - she is getting what appears to be tip burn, I'll be keeping an eye on her. 8/14- Well well...almost the end of Week 4 and I thought it would be prudent to calibrate my Blue Labs Soil PH Pen and TDS/EC Pen, which I did. I then proceeded to check all of the ladies mediums ph and OMG am I glad I did! All of the Natures Living Soil/Happy Frog mixes ph'd between 6.2 and 6.8 which is perfect! The SOHUM Living Soil with the Seedsman Gelato OG in it also had an acceptable ph of 6.4 ----BUT, and I mean a BIG but, the SOHUM Living Soil with the FastBuds Crystal Meth #2 in it had a ph of 5.2-5.4 checked at four places around the pot!...WTF! I double checked everything and same result. The plant looks generally healthy, although not as robust as it's sister in NLS/FF mix. Gonna sleep on this and ponder my next move. The rest of the ladies are on FIRE😍 They are all in flower now with the Seedsman Zkittles the furthest behind and the FastBuds Crystal Meth #1 and both of the Purple Lemonade's are the furthest along so far. No water today as they got a healthy dose of compost tea yesterday but I did do my daily leaf tucking and light LST to keep the light penetration good into the lower bud sites. Speaking of light penetration, I cranked the HLG 650R's up to 450w at the wall each for a total of 900w hitting my girls now and lowered both of the 650R's 4" from 36" to 32" and will see how the ladies respond. 8/15- Well, I slept on what to do with the Crystal Meth #2 in the SOHUM Living Soil with the ACIDIC ph. Today I ran 4 1/2 gallons of de-chlorinated water @ 7.7 ph to try to get some ph back. I measured the ph and PPM/EC of the runoff and more surprises awaited. The runoff had a PH of 4.2, repeat FOUR POINT TWO, 1480 PPM and an EC of 6550 @ 77 deg. I don't know how this girl looks as good as she does considering that she's basically living in ten gallons of between black coffee and tomato juice! I'll check the ph of her medium tomorrow and see where we go from here. I gave all the rest of my girls 1 gallon of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.9 @ 76 deg. and defoliated a couple of leaves on the OG's, Zkittles and lightly LST'd everybody, even the girl living in a pot of coffee!...LMAO😂 ONWARD to Week FIVE!!! Whoo Hoo!!!👍💪

this was an amazing grow!! Some things ive come to notice were. *1* no more seeds directly in the big pot. NEXT TIME ILL GROWN THEM IN A SMALL CONTAINER BEFORE TRANSFERRING THEM TO MAMA POT. *2* i raised these babys with minimum of additives. Every 2 feedings. NEXT TIME IN FLOWERING IMMA GIVE ADDITIVES EVERY TIME WATERING. * the big pot needs a bit more water then 10L every watering. SWITCH IT UP TO AN 15L of water instead of 10L I am a very happy grower with my grow room havin very steady temperatures so these are no problems over here. Next round i think i will ad a little bit of co2 to see if it makes any differences. These plant made me happy from day 1. They grew in a steady pace and gave everything they got. The one big strong plant gave me almost 300gr in the end.😍😍😍 So now i have made some clones of him and we will see what they are going to do next round. ( follow my attack of the clones diary) Very nice strain very very strong plants. Defo a recommendation for anybody who loves a good taste and a stong high I hope you guys find my diary usefull and i hope to see you guys in me next diaries Greetings Freddy grow

Couldn’t be happier with how the growing going right now except for the heating issues which has caused the temperatures to rise tremendously next week I will be putting in my efforts to dial down temperature and humidity and hopefully make it so the AC doesn’t run 24 seven

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos y también a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾👍 Este diario es un relato semanal de técnicas, experiencias de cultivo y Bio preparados orgánicos caseros, los cuales llevo experimentando dos años en cultivos de marihuana interior. Esta semana LACTO FERMENTOS DE FRUTAS Y MINERALES... Esta práctica la realicé el 02 de Julio de 2020, preparé 10 litros, en dos fórmulas distintas, en una de ellas incidí en el nitrógeno (crecimiento vegetativo), en la otra en el fósforo y el potasio (Floración), esto lo hice, seleccionando para cada fórmula, frutas o componentes orgánicos con mayor concentración de los macronutrientes que quería para cada preparado, aún así, ambas fórmulas poseen todas las propiedades (Vitaminas, enzimas, minerales, nutrientes...) que se encuentran en cada una de las frutas que usé. Llevo aplicando estos preparados desde entonces, dan un resultado excelente en riegos, pero sobre todo en aplicaciones foliares, en realidad se comporta como un Bio estimulante de cultivos. Aunque en estas fórmulas usé otros ingredientes, como guanos, sangre seca, harina de pescado y minerales variados, cuando las repita usaré exclusivamente frutas, porque ya hago lacto fermentos especializados de guanos, harinas o minerales. De esta manera también favorezco la fermentación. Los lacto fermentos anaeróbicos, son los preparados más asequibles y fáciles de realizar, se basan en el poder que tienen el ácido láctico y las Bacterias ácido lácticas contenidas en el suero de leche, para disolver los nutrientes o el quelato de los minerales, son particularmente eficientes en la disolución del fósforo. INGREDIENTES: Agua pura 1000ml Suero de leche 1000ml (se puede usar más cantidad, he incluso sustituir el agua por suero.) Melaza: 125g Levadura fresca: 12g. FRUTAS Y HORTALIZAS (hasta el 20% del volumen de líquido) Paraguayo, Aguacate, Ajos, Albaricoque, Kiwi, Melocotón, Melón, Papaya, Piña, Plátano, Mango, Mandarina, Zanahoria, Calabaza, Cebolla, Naranja, Manzana. - Destacar el kiwi, la piña y la papaya por su contenido en enzimas (actinidina, papaina, bromelia), estas enzimas tienen el poder de romper la proteína y convertirla en aminoácidos, yo preparo una fórmula específica para hacer esta conversión mediante Hidrólisis Enzimática, de proteínas, otro día hablaré de esa técnica, una de las que más esfuerzo me ha costado, pero hoy, esos aminoácidos son fundamentales en mis cultivos. - Destacar también, el plátano y el aguacate por su alto contenido en Potasio. - La calabaza y la zanahoria aportan varios tipos de vitaminas ( C, E, B6, B3, B2, B1, A (betacaroteno), B9 y ácido fólico) - Y en todas las frutas hay diversas cantidades de otros macro y micro nutrientes (Ca, Mg, P, Fe, etc.) Además, el alto contenido en todas las frutas de azúcares naturales, hicieron que la fermentación del preparado fuera muy violenta y se extendió por más de 30 días. PROCEDIMIENTO: Se disuelve la melaza en el suero de leche. Trituro las frutas y hortalizas, para una mejor disolución. Añado levadura fresca a la mezcla se suero y melaza, caliento a 30° y espero media hora. Añado las frutas trituradas al barril, lo mezclo con el suero, añado agua hasta completar. Cierro el barril herméticamente con válvula de gases. Espero al menos 30 días antes de usarlo. Yo lo uso, del 1 al 3%, en riegos y aplicaciones foliares en la etapa de crecimiento vegetativo. Hasta la próxima semana... SALUDOS, SALUD Y GRANDES COSECHAS A TODOS!! 😁👨‍🌾💧💦🌞💡 ================================= 🙄👇👌👍👉👉🖐️👨‍🌾👍👈👈👈🤜👌🙏👇🤩🖐️🏻

Harvest Notes ✂️ • Harvest Timing: Papaya Zoap was harvested at day 63, with select buds taken earlier at day 56 due to mold concerns. • Drying: After careful trimming, the buds were dried for 12 days. The quality and aroma during drying hinted at the stellar smoke to come. • Density & Yield: Buds were rock-solid, delivering an excellent yield with perfect density for storage and enjoyment. Terpene Profile & Aromas 🍋 • Primary Aromas: A tropical explosion with sweet papaya upfront, complemented by creamy, soapy undertones that make her truly unique. • Complexity: As the buds cure, a hint of citrus zest and exotic fruit emerges, creating a full-bodied terpene profile that’s simply irresistible. Cultivation Experience 💡 • Highlights: Her uniform growth, heavy trichome production, and response to super cropping made her a delight to grow. She thrived under careful spectrum adjustments and defoliation, showcasing her adaptability and vigor. • Challenges: The dense bud structure made her more prone to mold, especially in a high-humidity environment. However, proactive monitoring and swift action mitigated the spread. Verdict: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (9.8/10) Papaya Zoap is a strain that commands attention with her beauty, aroma, and unstoppable growth. While her susceptibility to mold required extra care, her overall performance, yield, and quality were nothing short of exceptional. A grower’s dream and a frosty masterpiece!

Some signals on the leafes. I think it is because of heat but I0m going to ask to the community. D77/F33 - 16/06/23 - I've asked to the community and is heat stress, so I'm going to change the light hours to 12/24 (4 only red ligh and 8 red-white)

This week I did what I suspect will be the final full change of the reservoir. Buds are looking fat and dense. Perfect. I got a new microscope to try and get an idea of the trichome development. They're actually a lot less developed than I expected - with most trichomes still clear. Only a few cloudy and maybe 1 or 2 yellow scattered throughout. Couple more weeks and they should be good.

Well had a lot of fun making my pot look amazing. There are some things hidden on here right now that will start to be reveled around weeks 4-6. At that time I will add the rest of the pot for everyone to enjoy. It's a fun one. Soaked her in water for 24 hours then planted her right in the Fox Farm - Happy Frog soil. Hopefully in a few days she will POP!! FYI the cover photo is of my wife's zombie corn tattoo. There is a reason for this. Will have to wait to see the surprise as to why it is relevant.

Plants are doing well. Watering roughly once weekly continues to be the current schedule. In this week's watering (week 6, Thursday), a nutrient mix was added (19% Nitrogen, 5% Phosphate, 20% K2O). pH was measured (via the runoff/drainage water collected) on all three plants using a pH probe, of which was measured to be slightly acidic for all plants (exact pH numbers above in the photo descriptions). We are aiming for a pH range of 6.0-7.0, so in next week's watering, we will add a buffer solution to alkalize the soil. All three plants lower branches were also pruned.

Plucked a few more leaves but other than that just feed them this week including bloom. Also gave them some rice starch (from boiled rice water collection) on day 42 as a boost for the microbes 👍 Turned the IR off now and turned up to 34000lux

The purple/pink/orange hues from the strawberry cough is solid forming into decent size nugs. Those huge colas are a sexy sight to watch however the tendency for mould attack is high for those strawberry. Hoping my fan, air circulation, and humidity will stop those mould from coming. Also i am turning up my AC to 20hours when it is day 90 onwards, using panasonic nano AC to clear up any pollutants from entering the tent. There is a purple punch indica dominant hiding under those autoflowers i know it is hard to spot them, will keep those purple punch longer in flowering since they are bullied by 2 monstrous autos. Feeding them with just 3.5L water+feed. 2.5 litres of water and 1 litre of feed. I feed them 1L on Sundays, and on friday i water them with 2.5L of water, by doing this, my humidity remains within 55%max and 38% minimum when the pot dries.

These have grown taller than the last time I grew this
