The week started with spider mites. I saw them on the frosted guava and decided to take all of my plants outside to separate them a little even if the temperatures dropped under 10 degrees Celsius. Also I found a cockchafer in the room which had obviously time to spread his eggs. After I did this, the amount of spider mites reduced. I ordered some predatory mites and nematodes which I will use as soon as the will arrive. 11.06 I watered the plants with 150+150+150 ml pure water. It’s the last bottled water. From here the plants will get only tap water. 14.06 released the nematodes with around 1-1,2L for each plant. 15.06 released the predatory mites on a wet kitchen paper towel 16.06 LST Frosted Guava

Grow Diary Update: Week 5 - Pre-Flowering and LST Evaluation Entering Pre-Flowering Stage At the end of last week, the first pistils appeared, marking the beginning of the pre-flowering stage for my plants 🙌 There's much to manage now. To support optimal stretching, I've adjusted the nutrients following 2/3 of the Terra Aquatica feeding schedule: CalMag: 2 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.45 mS/cm) Grow: 1.33 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 1.33 ml/l The nutrient solution now has an EC of 1.3 mS/cm (638 ppm PPM-500/TDS) with a pH of 6.1. These adjustments aim to promote vigorous growth and prepare the plants for flowering. Weather and Growth With significant weather improvements, my plants are thriving at full speed. Every centimeter gained now counts towards maximizing the final yield, turning around from the challenging weeks prior. Pest Management I'm fortunate not to have encountered pests like spider mites, aphids, or thrips. However, the persistent snail issue remains. Nightly patrols with a flashlight have been effective, and placing old lettuce leaves away from the plants has helped trap and remove snails, ensuring the plants remain undisturbed. LST Experiment Results The two plants I trained with LST have responded admirably, showing healthy adaptation to the bending and vigorous growth. Yet, I'm at a crossroads regarding the upcoming stretch phase: should I continue to tie down branches to maintain an even canopy or allow natural upward growth to potentially boost vertical yield? Your Feedback Matters I value your insights on this critical decision. Should I proceed with low-stress training to control canopy height, or should I let the plants stretch upwards for increased productivity? Your experiences and advice are invaluable to me as I navigate this stage of my grow. Share your thoughts below! Stay tuned as I continue to document the pre-flowering stage and learn from the ongoing LST experiment in my grow diary!

End of week # 7 , I have started to reduce the nutrients for final flush in a week , Zombie Kush is looking amazing with lots of crystal and purple in the buds , I ran two 315 CMH lights this round and I’m impressed with the results , they have outperformed my 600 watt Hps and the Purple colors really come out , I removed some shade leaf last night to open up the canopy a bit and let some of the smaller buds get more light , getting pretty stinky in the room now

Looking good so far, got a little bit of light burn at beginning of week but not to bad. Plants are really starting to shoot up now that the roots have hit the water. Topped all 4 at beginning of week 3 for LST prep. AC unit in tent is keeping it around 21 Celsius and water is keeping between 18-20 Celsius naturally so far. When the lights go up from 600w to 1000w though my tent will hit 25+ Celsius so I am currently testing a new water cooled thermoelectric peltier reservoir water cooler I built and I will be installing soon. So far testing it I can bring a 5gal bucket of water from 25 Celsius to 10 Celsius in about 6 hrs. So we will see what it can do with about 20gal of water in my set up once my lights get turned up. I will be posting pics/video once I get it all figured out. So far it’s way cheaper then a commercial water chiller and seems to work good.

These girls are growing fast and currently I'm doing some light low stress training but this time I'm not going to defoliate so early.

Otra semana más Creo esta semana hoy día 27 Anunciando así el próximo día 28 inicio de esta quinta semana de floración del calendario de mis niñas,semana en la que comienzo subiendo la cantidad de comida y con ello de agua para mis niñas. En los últimos riegos de la cuarta semana fui subiendo hasta alcanzar los 1700. Las plantas mayoritariamente lo aceptaron,así que con ello subiré esta semana hasta alcanzar los 2000. No defoliaré ninguna planta Hoy ajuste la luminaria a una altura de 30cm con respecto a los 45 de la anterior semana. Esta semana pegarán un buen apretón con la subida de PK,y la ayuda de los azúcares. Seguimos con muchas lluvias y una humedad muy alta que dentro del armario se combate entre ventiladores extractor y desumificadores pasivos de sales de silicio. Que me mantienen un 35% menos de la que tengo en el exterior llegando muchos días a los 45/50% de humedad. Tengo que añadir que vivo a un kilómetro de la playa. Día 28 Di un pequeño fumigado, de agua con ajo y jabón potásico en la entrada al cuarto de cultivo. Como preventivo ante cualquier insecto que quiera acercarse atraído por el aroma. Hoy e podido ver que el último riego de 1700EC,no causó ningúna sobre fertilización apreciable en el cultivo casi nula,viendo esto en el siguiente riego subiremos a 1900Ec. Día 29 Primera impresión al abrir el armario es que había una humedad alta dentro del almario. Un 72% que una vez encendí el pequeño desumificador de 8l de casa,a mejorado a 53% Hoy compré la gama de completa de aptus. Iré añadiendo alguno de estos componentes de la fase de floración,para ver qué tal se combinan con la gama de plagron. Hoy le metí un riego de 55litros,una Ec de 1900 Sin carga de pk,desorbitada. Este riego me centro en los azúcares junto con algunos aditivos como silicio,aminoácidos,azúcares,encinas,sulfatos y manteniendo el nitrógeno en pequeña parte el potasio y el fósforo,calcio y magnesio que nunca falte en cada riego!,las lámparas están bajas y a toda potencia. Quiero en estos días conseguir mejorar con grandes empujones . Saludos compañeros! Día 30 Todo bien,todo correcto y me alegro!,buenas tardes,buenas noches. El cultivo aceptó muy bien la subida de EC 1900,esta variedad come de buena manera!. De esta manera seguiremos subiendo para ver,hasta donde llegan. Obviamente no vamos a sobrecargarlas,pero vamos a ver hasta donde llegan. El siguiente riego lo haré trabajando con pk,mineral y algunos aditivos más orgánicos-minerales. Tengo que decir que el aporte del té frío de plátano junto a la melaza le habrán venido fantástico también a las lombrices! Día 31 Todo perfecto dentro del cultivo ,veo que las 9 semanas de floración son fijas.. Un gran punto a favor,es que el clima empieza a ser más favorable a partir de este fin de semana.. Subirán más las temperaturas y las lluvias van a detenerse por unos días. Espero contar con una humedad ambiental más baja para poder seguir tranquilo con el desarrollo de las flores.

Room is almost there Flood table coating was completed this week. Took forever to cure in the colder weather, but it is looking great now. Normally I wouldnt use this stuff because it is $200 per gallon, but since Im in the industry, these expired sample cans didnt cost me a cent and provides a much more durable, reflective, cleanable and puncture resistant alternative to plastic. Im very happy with the table overall, it cost me very little to build I installed the fan and carbon filter, moves about 750 cf per minute. Its a bit loud, but its huge, so what are ya gonna do? My dutch bucket pails are slowly being collected from my local coffee shop. I need 4 - 8 more. Ive got all the hardware to set up the watering system, so I will work on that in the coming week

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Apple Fritter de RoyalQueenSeeds, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte de prietas se ven bien resinosas. a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, es algo complicada cultivarla pero merece la pena si eres cultivador con experiencia no te será problema cosechar. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Start of week 7 and plants are taking off The indica dominate phenos are showing signs of crowning and the sativa dominate phenos budlets are starting to connect. 2 more weeks of fertilizer then straight water till harvest.( 10 week flower) Also killed off 6 sativa dominate ( clones) they just take too long to set their flowers.

She’s starting to get plumpy and frosty- toning down the nutes and switching to more micro nutes. Decent structure and smells very fruity- but that can change

Today: 14.18 hours of light 100.4 °F 58%Rh 1 million of mosquitos I've spent this hot week training these two plants trying to keep them the lower as possible since the two main buds have reached the roof (7.87 ft tall). Cookies Gelato is about 9.50 ft tall. I've applied white plastic net all around the pergola to give them some shade in order to slow down the metabolism. These plants are giant and there is no more space to move around. Asparagus stalks are well formed so this is, hopefully, the last preflowering week. Cookies is hungry and some bottom fan leaves start to show chlorosis but the top/mid canopy is plenty of natural nitrogen. During these last weeks I've watered them with 4-5 gallons each, leaving the soil to dry for 2/3 days, they seem to love this scheme. Also, the fact of not having pluck away even a leaf made these plants big and extremely vigorous. Tomorrow I will create a roof with clear plastic rolls as the nighttime humidity begins to increase and some summer thunderstorms are on the horizon.
