The calmag deficiency has improved significantly and the plants are now putting all their energy into the flowers. In the meantime, no new eggs are forming, which makes us very happy :)

Huge growth this week , a week behind but taller than my blue dreamatic’ auto . Looking nice and healthy but I am running out of room could have done lots of lst on these babies but I just don’t have the space. Lots of tall stalks not just one main one . Loving this strain, very tolerant for new growers. All ears to feedback good and bad. 💚

End of Week 5B, pics are chronological since the last update. Hard not to take daily pics these days. Zero issues this week. Flushed her good before the midweek feed with about 5 gallons ph to clear out any buildup. Buds are becoming rock hard and I also changed her to 13 dark hours daily. Introducing Overdrive the next feeding so expect some bloom blowup for the next update. Till next week.

This is more Indica dominate, small bushy plant with lots of lower growth I did not lollypop this as well as I should have. The buds are surprisingly dense and a light mint green in color. I will try this again as I feel the strain has a high potential for rosin production. solid THC levels for an auto.

YEA!!!! That's what comes to mind every time I check out my grow space and see such beautiful plants growing especially my C4 Auto from fastbuds she coming along so beautifully it brings joy to my heart all I do is give her light and bat turd water mix and raw bat turd and let her take off I planted her sister on the outdoors to see the difference between the two indoor is looking a lot better to me . That's all I gotta say for this Thursday see you next week. Comment on my Ak48 Autoflower I got from persific seed bank

Hello 👋 and welcome back. I've been really, really stoned for a month or two. I do enjoy a good cleaning. No need to be rushing this one, I've got a lot of stuff to tweak in the grow tent. Give it a good scrub to boot. Added a bunch of organic amendments to the medium and reloaded mineral content. Giving it a few weeks to let everything break down, settle in, and balance out before beginning, I'll be doing a thorough pH and EC prior to placing anything in the final pot and making sure to give it a good till in the top soil once everything is broken down into more palatable size. Organic fertilizer = organic matter that's still in the process of breaking down. Mineral fertilizer = salt mineral that's already broken down and ready for uptake in its current form. Synthetic mineral fertilizer = man-made minerals ready for uptake in their current form. Synthetic concentrated fertilizer = man-made concentrates that don't exist in nature. Adding this grow. 500g Horticultural charcoal. 454g Elite Shungite Coal (Fullerene C60). 1kg Spirulina is approx NPK 10%, 100g/1kg (N), 20% 200g/1kg (P), and 20% 200g/1kg (K). In 1 kg (1000g) of spirulina, you can expect approximately 50 mg to 177 mg of Zeaxanthin. 1 kg of moringa powder, approximate NPK : 4.8% N, 0.5% P, and 1.9% K. 500g Azomite. (Ultimate mineral micro nutrient). 1kg of Gaia green 4-4-4, 1kg of 4-4-4 fertilizer contains 4% which is equivalent to 40 grams of each in 1000g. 500g eggshells, 20grams of calcium per 500g. Generally, the more organic matter a plant breaks down, the higher the soil's electrical conductivity (EC) tends to be. This is because the breakdown of organic matter releases nutrients into the soil solution, which increases the concentration of dissolved ions that conduct electricity. Roots and microorganisms do not directly compete for electrical conductivity itself. However, they do interact in the rhizosphere, a zone around plant roots where microbes and plants compete for resources like nutrients and water, which can indirectly influence electrical conductivity. Plant roots release exudates (carbon) into the soil, providing energy and nutrients for microbes. In return, microbes can help plants access nutrients, particularly in the rhizosphere, where nutrient availability can be high. Both roots and microbes compete for the same resources, such as phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe). Factors like microbial decomposition of plant-derived chelators and the proximity of microbes to the root surface can influence this competition. Carbon 60 (Fullerene) can enhance plant growth by boosting microbial activity in the soil, improving water retention, and even increasing plant biomass and yield. It's not a fertilizer, but rather a soil amendment that acts as an ideal companion product for fertilization programs. Studies have shown that fullerenes can influence soil bacterial communities and potentially activate processes like nitrogen transformation in the soil. Some research suggests that fullerenes can increase the availability of nutrients and enhance plant growth. Buckminsterfullerene is a type of fullerene with the formula C60. It has a cage-like fused-ring structure (truncated icosahedron) made of twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons, and resembles a soccer ball. Each of its 60 carbon atoms is bonded to its three neighbors. Shungite coal, particularly the "precious Shungite" variety, is known to contain fullerenes, with a higher content found in Shungite of category 3. The most common fullerene, C60 (also known as buckminsterfullerene or a buckyball), is a well-studied example. The influence of water-soluble carboxylated light fullerene derivatives on the physiological plant state is not well studied. The addition of Spirulina is primarily for zeaxanthin, as it contains a lot. But on top of that, Hawaiian Spirulina is cultivated in open ponds using a combination of 100% fresh potable water from Hawaiian aquifers and ultra-pure, deep ocean water containing all 94 trace minerals & elements. It is then gently dried using patented Ocean Chill Drying technology and cold-pressed to ensure maximum nutrient levels. Spirulina, a blue-green alga, is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK), making it an excellent source of nutrients for plant growth. Studies have shown that Spirulina can be used as a biofertilizer, effectively replacing chemical fertilizers, especially for nitrogen with a whopping, NPK of 10% (N), 20% (P), and 20% (K). Azomite needs no introduction; Just incase, Azomite delivers 70+ minerals and trace elements to boost BRIX, root strength, soil vitality, and yields. Micronized. Moringa is a highly nutrient-dense plant, often called the "miracle tree" or "tree of life" due to its impressive nutritional profile and potential health benefits. It's particularly rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds, making it a valuable resource for addressing malnutrition and promoting overall health. Containing over 92 verifiable nutrients, Moringa oleifera is found to be the most nutrient-dense plant on earth. As far as we know this is the only place online where we list all 92 (and more) nutrients of the Moringa tree and we list all 46 antioxidants of the Moringa tree too. Deep in the Himalayas is a tree called Moringa oleifera, also known as the drumstick tree, and throughout the subtropics, this tree is cultivated for its amazing health benefits. This amazing tree has the ability to grow in an array of conditions, and its health benefits are astonishing. The drumstick tree contains a staggering 92 nutrients and 46 natural antioxidants and as it also holds a number of anti-inflammatory compounds. The sheer number of nutrients found in this tree brings it to the top of the superfoods list, and in its native locations, it is said to have the ability to help treat more than 300 diseases and illnesses. To give you an idea, just a single serving of the Moringa tree contains: 4 times the amount of calcium in the same amount of milk. More vitamin C than 7 oranges. Double the protein and 3 times the amount of potassium in a banana. It's high antioxidant levels can help fight free radicals, potentially slowing down the ageing process and promoting longevity. It is thought to be able to help lower cholesterol levels and regulate blood pressure, due to the high levels of niacin and vitamins B3 and B10. A serving of 100g of this tree gives: Over 8g protein Over 400mg potassium Nearly 450mg calcium 164mg vitamin C 738 ¼g of vitamin A. Moringa also contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B7, A, C, K, E and D. Amino Acids: In addition, it contains various other nutrients, including the following essential amino acids: Threonine – a nutrient that helps metabolism and prevents fatty buildup in the liver. It also aids digestion. Isoleucine – good for a healthy brain and helps to give the body natural energy. Leucine – works hand in hand with isoleucine to increase energy levels. Phenylalanine – aids communication between the brain’s nerve cells and also helps to reduce hunger pangs as well as increasing alertness and improving memory. Tryptophan – supports your immune system, and its mood boosting ability helps to beat depression and anxiety-associated insomnia. It also reduces the risk of heart attack and lowers bad cholesterol levels. Lysine – aids the absorption of calcium into the bones, supports antibodies and regulates various hormones as well as inhibiting the growth of virus cells. Methionine – provides the body with sulphur as well as helping to lower cholesterol. It also supports the liver, kidneys, and helps keep skin, hair and nails healthy. Valine – helps to keep the mind calm. There are other amino acids in Moringa too, which are not essential to the body but are still beneficial in supporting health. These include histidine, alanine, glutamic acid, arginine, cysteine, proline, aspartic acid, glycine, serine, and tyrosine. Moringa seeds contain oils that hold high levels of oleic acid, which may act to reduce inflammation. https://amchara.com/detox-cleanse/92-nutrients-and-46-antioxidants-in-one-tree-maringa-oleifera/ 4.8% N, 0.5% P, and 1.9% K. Moringa can also serve as a natural source of nitrogen, potentially replacing chemical fertilizers. About 95% of the dry eggshell is calcium carbonate weighing 5.5 grams. The average eggshell contains about . 3% phosphorus and . 3% magnesium and traces of sodium, potassium, zinc, manganese, iron and copper. 1 ppm in water (mg/L) = 1 ppm in soil (mg/kg) If you use 10 grams of 10-20-20 fertilizer in 4 liters of water: Nitrogen: (10 grams * 10/100 * 1000000) / 4000 mL = 2500 ppm N Phosphorus: (10 grams * 20/100 * 1000000) / 4000 mL = 5000 ppm P Potassium: (10 grams * 20/100 * 1000000) / 4000 mL = 5000 ppm K In summary, to determine the precise ppm of an NPK fertilizer, you need to know the specific weight of fertilizer used, the volume of water, and the NPK percentages. The general formula and example calculations can help you make these conversions.

Dutch Passions Shaman Sieben Tage ohne gießen: Shamanin No. 2 sah ziemlich welk aus. Mega Trockenstress aber zwei Stunden nach einem ausgiebigen Tauchbad sieht sie aus, als wäre nichts gewesen. Shamanin No. 1 im 30 Liter Topf hat es Problemlos überstanden. Auf einem der Fotos hat sich eine kleine Spinne perfekt getarnt, die Beine sehen aus wie Stigmen. Shamanin No. 2 braucht auch mehr Wurzelraum, oder eine Tropfbewässerung.

Day 15 Today I switched the lights from the Seedling program to the Growth program. I measured around 640 PPFD at the canopy level so a bit high for early veg but I will leave it where it is now and keep an eye out for light stress, and raise the lights if I have to. I also added a second USB fan for increased circulation. USB fans are great when the plants are small and you don't want the stronger winds that the regular clip fan generates. I also started the clip fan but directed it towards the lights to help keep them a bit cooler. I adjusted the extractor fan from 60 secs Off/30 secs On to 30 secs Off/30 secs On in order to remove more hot air. This will have to be tweaked further and I'll monitor my temps to figure out a suitable setting. It becomes a balance between temp and humidity. I really wish I had a system where I could set a target VPD and then the system would automatically adjust temps and humidity to follow that target. Not practical in my small setup though but maybe one day... Temps are always an issue in my setup as I have two powerful lights inside one small tent without AC. I have set the light cycle so that the lights are on during the night but off during the day to help to balance the temp a bit. I'm also considering getting some extension cables and put the LED drivers outside the tent to see if that helps to bring down the temps a bit further. Later in the grow I will use CO2 so that will help a bit against higher temps. Finally, I watered the plants as they were getting a bit dry. The left plant got 1 liter and the right plant 1.5 liters as the sensor reported that that pot was a bit drier. I reckon it has to do with the plant being larger (almost double the size of the other plant!) I should also really get my ass in gear and hook up the Blumat system so I don't need to worry about hand watering. Day 16 Nothing to report really except some additional growth, both vertical and horizontal. Day 17 Watering time again. Gave them 6.2 pH water this time and once again more to the right plant as it drinks more. I guess around 1.3 liters for the left plant and 2 liters for the right one. I tried putting in my small USB humidifier into the tent but I soon realized that it can't share the USB power that the fans are running on so will have to get another USB power cable in there. Didn't expect that small humidifier to use that much power. Oh well, that's a job for another day. Day 18 The girls are thirsty it seems as I had to water again today according to the Blumat sensors (I really, really need to install my Blumat system as soon as possible but should get the last bits that I need in a day or two). I gave them 2.5 liters of water (pH 6.7) and once again a bit more to the right plant. I also was able to squeeze in my tiny humidifier into the tent even though the tomatoes are still in there. Turns out that all I had to do was to switch the USB power adapter from the old Samsung one that I used to a more powerful iPad charger. Now it works just fine to run the fan and the humidifier on the same power. The reason why I'm using a small USB humidifier instead of a proper one is simply due to the lack of space in my small tent. This (very basic) humidifier is the smallest one I could find yet have a decent size tank so I don't need to fill it up all the time. Day 19 The cover crop EXPLODED since yesterday so the first thing I had to do today was to cut that back a bit. I also started brewing some compost tea (AACT). I mixed together worm castings, rock dust, biochar, lime, bentonite, neem meal, kelp meal, and molasses and will leave it brewing for 24 hours and then feed it to the plants tomorrow. Would have liked to add alfalfa meal as well but haven't been able to find any. I usually put my seed starter warming mat under and taped to the brewing bucket to increase the tea temperature and microbial activity. The plants are doing their thing, a little bit taller and a little bit wider. I will probably top the right plant next week but not sure about the left one as it is smaller so might need another week. Day 20 The compost tea was ready today after 24 hours of brewing. I fed each girl with around 3 liters of tea (pH 6.8) and as I wasn't planning any foliar feeding this time around I kept the tea unfiltered. So that everything that went into making the tea ended up as a top dressing. I guess I don't have to water for a couple of days after this. Not much change is plant size but the leaves are filling out. Day 21 Today was completely uneventful so not much to report except that I probably will top the right plant tomorrow as it is up to 5 nodes.

La semaine 5 s'est plutôt bien déroulée, même si les autres plants ont connu un léger excès d'azote. Heureusement, mes plantes n'en ont pas souffert. J'ai pris la décision de les nourrir exclusivement avec des éléments favorables à la floraison. En parallèle, je commence à défolier délicatement une à deux feuilles par jour. Elles ont arrêté de s'étirer et elles commencent à se concentrer sur les bourgeons. Un grand merci à Louloutre qui m'apporte son précieux soutien !

Did a bigger defol. Adjusted the trellis. May or may not have been watering with too high of ph (7.2) so hopefully microbes have been doing their job.

First buds appeared this Wednesday! Still continuing with shed time at night; I'm still dwelling how/when/if I'll stop this. From start to stop, I can get the plants out in the morning in 7 minutes, and put them away at night in 5. It's also time I'd love to get back. But it also could prevent them being seen by casual weed thieves, as well as saving them from frequent night rains in Sept. But they're also soon going to be getting sticky which will suck for handling them. Speaking of, I'll probably pick a separate shirt to use while doing this, as even tying them up a bit more today has probably made it so I'll reek of weed until I change. Speaking of tying them up, the video allows one to see trees in the background getting tossed around in the wind, while they don't have too much movement. And I love my windchimes :) . Still watering 5 gallons every 2-3 days. Today was pretty cool; only a high of 26C.
