Day 15, 24.04.2024 2100 - turned Erika II as her outer leaves touched the walls of the tent - bent Erika I a little more (LST) - soil ist getting dryer again - plan on watering in about two days again - re-arranged temperature & humidity sensor inside the tent Day 16, 25.04.2024 Nothing to do but to watch and enjoy. Tomorrow will be the first watering with fertilizer. Day 17, 26.04.2024 0730 - Watered the plants with 400ml stale water each - plus 2ml/L BioBizz Bio-Grow as stated in the fertilizer scheme. Thought shortly about giving them just half of whats written down, but then decided against it: As this is biological fertilizer I understood it is quite hard to over-fertilize. Well, we'll see where this goes Day 18, 27.04.2024 2100 - re-arranged the DIY VPN Controllers Display to be able to see it on cam without panning & tilting - Soil is again getting dryer. I am a little afraid to overwater so I decided to let pass at least 24h again. Color is dark green all the way so it should be alright - also pushed the leaves a little away from each other and the stem Day 19, 28.04.2024 1030 - Erika I is really pushing it: it seems as it grew overnight by 5cm. Okay, a little exaggerated but still - Erika II however seems to fall behind. It looks good and all, but as I need to bring up the light again to a healthy distance, I decided to lift Erika II by ~5cm to match the height of both plants - lifted the light to ~30cm above canopies - again used wooden sticks to correct orientation of main leaves perpendicular to the tents walls Day 20, 29.04.2024 2100 - something happened: I think Erika I is going into flower - already! It is day 20 for God's sake. They grow up so fast. And judging from it's size actually a little too fast, but what can you do? - Meanwhile Erika II is doing fine - without signs of flowering yet, but she always was a little late :) - however, I did my first tries in real LST by tying down the 4 main branches a little to the sides in hope they will raise their heads again towards the light soon (I hope flowering + LST on Erika I is not too much) - tomorrow in the morning I will water them both incl. fertilizer Day 21, 30.04.2024 0800 - After LST from yesterday the branches are again facing the light. A little stretch to a wider diameter is also noticeable - that seems to have worked so far - Watered each of the Ladies with 400ml (incl. BioBizz Bio-Grow (2ml/L water)) in anticipation of week 3 where I will add Bio-Bloom and Top-Max 2330 - Re-Worked on the LST - the straps were losening. However, it is nice to see the bend branches - it is working already! - Having problems with the relay that switches the venting on or off regulating the humidity. Could narrow done the problem to a mechanical one: The relay just sticks a little. Maybe it is the increased humidity that causes the problems, who knows. Will think of something.

day 2 - week 7 of flower has started and tbh it feels like the flowers are not growing too much at the moment. lets just hope paitience pays out and just continue just as before. she is still being H2O stressed, but not only getting water every other day. if i see her leafs hanging in the day time i also give her a good amount of water so shes not being tortured :) day 5 - got a new LED light today, so no more shitty NDL pics. also i found brown leaf tips on some sugar leafs and i will give her more water now. at least a little. i think it is caused by too much H2O stress. i will keep you updated on that day 7 - day 2 i said it feels like the buds aint grow fast enought, but if i compare todays pictures with last weeks i think she is doing just great! still will have to give her at least 1 or 2 more weeks until i can think about harvesting but she looks good in my opinion! because of H2O stress, she got a little more water now and also the tips are just fine and seem to dont brown out any further.
Titan F1 - Farm #13
Hello Diary. Looking back, it was another great trip. Titan F1 enters my list of my favorite strains. I think I wrote more or less everything that happened earlier, so I will continue to write the further course of events. Basically, I watered the plants two days before I harvested the Titan F1, because the two plants in the grow box were still maturing (Apollo F1 and Milky Way F1). I cut Titan at the bottom of the stand and hung the cut branches in a cardboard box to dry. As the flowers were very packed, the excess water in the plant created a lot of humidity and the best flowers went moldy. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to take photos because my wife immediately threw them away so as not to contaminate the rest. No messing around with mold. So the result is the following: Moldy flowers - 17g Good flowers - 48g Total of dried flowers Titan F1 - 65g If the mold hadn't happened, it would have been a good harvest. But the thing is, I have the other almost 50 g to enjoy. Thank you all for your support and I hope that this diary will encourage someone to try this great strain. Five for Titan F1. I would like to thank the Royal Queen Seeds team for supporting this wonderful hobby of mine for some time now.

06/04: Début 3ème semaine jusqu'à présent je suis content de moi, c'est ma deuxième culture. La première a été assez mouvementée et cette fois-ci je me sent plus à l'aise par rapport aux arrosages par exemple. J'ai choisi de ne pas utiliser du allmix par exemple pour pas risquer de brûler mon plant lors de l'engraissâge etc. 06/05: Aujourd'hui "tie down" des branches les plus basses. (LST j 0) + Arrosage à l'eau clair 400ml ainsi que toping des branches basses. 06/06: j'aperçois les premiers pistils la phase de pré-flo est sur le points de débuter je vais augmenter la luminosité petit à petit dans les jours qui viennent pour arriver autour des 70,000Lux en phase de flo. 06/07: je vais revoir mon planing d'engraissage et ajouter un engrais de flo. et du CalMag agent toutes les deux semaines, quand au GHE essential une fois par semaine en foliaire. 06/08: le filet est placé depuis ce matin, maintenant on attends l'étirement floral pour le remplir. 06/09: arrosage +/-500ml avec engrais, j'ai tenté de descendre le filet pour palliser le plant et commencer à diriger le branche dans les trous du filet mais j'ai changé d'avis car je le sentais pas, je préfère attendre le stretch et utiliser le filet quand les branches l'atteindront naturellement. 06/10: finalement j'ai fait un topping hiers soir car le fiming ne semblait pas prendre et le cola continuais a monter et a chaque nouveau noeud j'avais chaque fois que deux branche donc j'ai préferer le topping certaine branche latérale on déjà rejoint la hauteur de deux branche obtenue grâce au topping. je suis étonnée par la vigueur de cette variété qui se remet rapidement de tout stress!
Auto cheese #1 gea seeds
Her aroma it's just super cheesy,I love the autoflowers from this seedbank they have amazing and original aromas and flavors,she's not gonna ve very productive however I love how she smell it's gonna be a pleasure to taste.

They seem to be doing ok, apart from the one at the back right which is developing red spots on upper leaves, think its a deficiency rather than bugs. Have been trying to water down nutes a bit more so its more like the above amounts split between 2 litres instead of 1 litre. Not sure I should up the amount at this point.

👋Top is a clean cut, no confusion for the plant, road ahead is clear, by completely removing the main growth tip, the auxin source is eliminated. The plant permanently halts vertical growth from that main stem and immediately sends its energy and hormones to the two new, evenly spaced branches just below the cut. Fimming slightly different because a small tuft of the top growth is left behind, the auxin disruption is temporary and less severe. The plant recovers more quickly and sends its energy to multiple surrounding growth points, often creating four or more new shoots from the same spot. It will eventually regain some vertical dominance after a few weeks if left to its own devices, but with a little more LST, bending the apex to the same height as the rest of the internodes, this shatters dominance, hopefully creating around 8-9 main shoots growing at equal height once recovered and grown out. Reduced environmental intensity for now and let her focus on dealing with this new stress for a week or two. When H+ ions are added to soil, the first nutrient displaced from exchange sites is typically aluminum (Al3+), if it's present, followed by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and potassium (K+), because aluminum and these base cations have different binding strengths. The order of displacement depends on the lyotropic series, where ions with a higher positive charge and those with weaker binding strengths are displaced first. The specific order of nutrient displacement is determined by the lyotropic series, which ranks the strength with which cations are adsorbed by soil particles: Al3+: Most strongly adsorbed, so if present, it will be displaced by H+ ions, leading to increased solubility of aluminum and potential plant toxicity. Ca2+: Displaced next, as it is more strongly bound than Mg2+ or K+ but less than Al3+. Mg2+ and K+: Displaced after Ca2+. The displaced nutrients can be lost from the root zone through leaching, becoming unavailable to plants. As H+ ions increase, the proportion of acid cations (H+ and Al3+) on the exchange sites increases, while base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) decrease, resulting in a lower soil pH. The amount of photosynthesis (water splitting) directly determines the availability of H+ ions (protons) in a plant. 90% of water is for cooling of photosynthetic apparatus the other 10% is split for its H+ among others things. Carbon sugars, like glucose, do oxidize in soil through a process primarily driven by microorganisms, which break down these sugars for energy. This oxidation converts the sugars into carbon dioxide (CO2) through cellular respiration, a key part of the soil carbon cycle, though some carbon may also be incorporated into soil organic matter. The rate and extent of sugar oxidation depend on factors like oxygen availability, the presence of Fe oxides, and soil redox conditions, which can all influence the process. My understanding of why we flush. Just plain water, what does it do? Strips the medium of salts and nutrients making it empty. What does that do? Triggers nutrient recycling within the plant. What's nutrient recycling? It is a natural part of plant senescence, which can be triggered once you know the switches. A 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio will also trigger. Why won't it trigger autophagy for me? Nitrogen needs to be gone, gone, gone almost. Ammoniacal (organic) nitrogen takes 4-5 times more water to separate it from soil particles than nitrates so what happens is most people jist flush the nitrates, leave all the ammoniacal in there and this prevents autophagy initiating. Nitrogen decays differently depending on its form during the dry. Ammoniacal nitrogen will oxidize in the air, leaving no trace. But nitrates do no decay and turn volatile and smelly and remain trapped until smoked, no matter how long you cure it does not oxidize. This is why you need to trigger it and begin the denitrfication process prior to harvest to get rid of all the nitrates. Otherwise, you will smoke it. Flush till autophagy begins, just make sure you add no nitrogen afterwards. Micronutrients for trichomes. Don't leave the medium empty for 2 weeks, that does nothing but reduce yield 10%ish. Trichomes are another thing. Trichomes themselves are not directly affected by flushing; rather, flushing affects the plant's nutrient uptake, which influences the development and final state of the trichomes. Trichomes are filled with antioxidants in the last weeks, which is what makes them cloudy. A lot of the processing of antioxidants requires energy and nutrients (mostly micronutrients ), so you don't want that soil empty for 2 weeks, you just want the carbon nitrogen ratio 24:1and no higher. She still wants what she needs to ripen. Processing antioxidants is energy-intensive; heat and light accelerate the rate at which THC converts to CBN. This is why you lower DLI, lower temps. By doing so, you reduce the oxidative workload caused by photosynthesis, which opens up the oxidative capacity for the production of antioxidants. THC is mostly processed at night when the plant's oxidative capacity is generally moreso "free and available" for work

Other first grow
The buds hage been building and full of tric's. A few new white hairs and most have turned amber. Fed again this last week and added a bit of molasses. I think no more nutrients now. I will start checking tric's and will harvest when they are mostly amber. I think this still a couple of weeks from harvest. Thanks for looking. Cheers

La humedad esta al 45% la temperatura está entre 21/27 grados , y como siempre el ph , ya que es de lo más importante,está en 5,8/6,0. . Nos vemos de nuevo para la COSECHA, un saludo y buenos humos fumetillas💨💨💨.
auto Colorado Cookies
Week 11 day 78, you can see buds are really fattening up, some good trichome production as well, The smell is really awesome , sort of a sweet flowerish cannabis smell. All my other plants has grown big as well so there is not many room left. i did some defoliation but you hardly notice.😁 i gave a PK boost again this week also
Don't buy, farm it!

Hello everyone, They are growing well, day by day new tiny buds starts to come up and looking good. Hopefully, until harvest they will get stronger and give beautiful buds. This week I'm sharing aleatory photos of my ladies.
Afghan kush
In the last two weeks she has been flushed with phd balanced water 💦. Her bracts seemed to have fully swelled her ratio of trichomes was well over 30% amber she was beginning to fade so that’s when I decided she can’t go any further. She is emitting a deep dank musky toffee aroma the Double kush cake feminised bracts give off a tinted silver look. A true AfghanI kush appearance. The Double kush cake feminised finished at a height of approximately 62cm
