Week 4: Growth Spurts and New Challenges Continued Growth and Health As we move into the fourth week, the plants are showing impressive growth. Their leaves are a lush, vibrant green, and the stems are becoming stronger. The transition to the larger 11-liter fabric pots has clearly paid off, providing the roots with ample space and better aeration. Adjusting Nutrient Levels Given their positive response to the nutrients, I decided to continue with 2/3 of Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding schedule, adjusting slightly to meet their increasing demands. Here's the updated feeding plan for this week: CalMag: 2.5 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.50 mS/cm) Grow: 1.5 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 0.5 ml/l EC: 1.2 mS/cm (600 ppm PPM-500/TDS) pH: 6.0 Each plant is watered with approximately 20% runoff to ensure there's no nutrient buildup in the coco mix. I will maintain this nutrient level until the pre-flowering stage to avoid the risk of nutrient burn due to over-fertilization. Weather Improvements and Adjustments The weather has been steadily improving, with temperatures expected to rise to around 25°C starting Wednesday, accompanied by abundant sunshine. This upcoming forecast is excellent news for my plants, as I anticipate a final growth spurt before flowering begins. Every centimeter of growth counts at this stage, and I'm optimistic about maximizing their potential under these favorable conditions. Strengthening with Wind Exposure On days with good weather, I move the plants out of the greenhouse to expose them to natural wind. This practice helps strengthen their stems, improving overall stability. Additionally, the wind creates a more challenging environment for pests, helping to keep them at bay. Smart Watering Strategy I only water the plants when the pots feel noticeably lighter. This encourages the roots to search for water, promoting the development of a stronger and more extensive root system. This method helps ensure the plants remain healthy and resilient. Pest Management: Observations and Actions At the beginning of the third week, I noticed dark discolorations on the undersides of some leaves. A few days later, these spots turned into yellow patches. I am still unsure about the cause of these spots. To prevent a potential insect infestation, I sprayed all the leaf surfaces, both top and bottom, with a mildly dosed neem oil mixture. Since then, the spots have not spread further. Because these discolorations are only affecting the lower leaves, they are not causing me significant concern at the moment. Regular inspections and preventive measures are crucial to maintaining the health of the plants and ensuring that any issues are caught early. Decision Against LST At first I have decided against using LST. But some of your comments made me try some LST on two of my plants. I choose Tangie and Gorilla cookies to try out and learn some stuff. Blue dream and Banana purple punch stay without any training. Thanks guys for your advice 👍 Monitoring and Care My daily routine involves checking the plants every morning and evening. This includes: Monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. Inspecting the plants for any signs of pests or nutrient deficiencies. Growth Observations The plants are responding well to the controlled environment and balanced nutrition. They are growing rapidly, with new leaves appearing almost daily. The stems are thickening, and the overall structure of the plants is robust and healthy. Looking Ahead As we head into week 4, I am optimistic about the continued growth and health of my plants. The combination of a stable environment, appropriate nutrient levels, and diligent care is proving successful. I’m excited to see how they progress and adapt as they move closer to the flowering stage. Seeking Feedback and Tips Your feedback and tips are valuable to me! If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my growing techniques or insights based on your own experiences, please feel free to share them in the comments below. Let's grow together!

07 März to be updated. Ready for Chop? 09.03. Day 120 flower 57. Ich werde bald Ernten, denn ich bin beinahe komplett mit den Trichs zufrieden . Hellbraun+ glasige+ milchige. Nur noch zu wenig milchige. ? Frische Phylaxien ab und an überall. = Wachstum 🤗💚 NEHME ICH. 10. März Ab in die Dunkelheit für 3 Tage. Damit es so richtig scheppert. Als wenn sie nicht gut gelungen und damit auch stark genug wäre. Flower day 57. Eigentlich noch 13 Tage, aber danke ich bin der Meinung, unterstützt durch die Community (😙 ) das es jetzt gut ist. Also Ernte am Tag 60 eigentlich. Bisher 10 Punkte aufgrund von betörender Erscheinung und Geruch. Sehr feste Knospen. Der Rauch steht noch aus. 37 % THC AUWEIA ( Like you are an Snowboarder and looking to the snow avalanche that soon arrives you ) 12.03. morgen wird geerntet. Die einzige Pflanze bisher überhaupt, die ich noch nicht angetestet habe. 😬🌊🤗📥. Ja, mit Bildern. 13.03. Day 61 of flower. CHOP , ERNTE, AUS DIE MAUS, ZAHLTAG, Hängt Kopfüber zum Trocknen am Stamm. Die kleinste Knospe unten wird gerade getrocknet, und an getestet. Sie fühlte sich sehr klebrig an. Später gibt's den ersten Eindruck. ....... Eine Popcornknospe später: Ich bin so fertig. Sofortiger Einschlag, noch vor dem Auspusten. Geschmack geil. Nochmal, das war ganz wenig. Hat mich beinahe umgehauen. 37% ? Keine Ahnung. Kann aber sein. Definitiv das heftigste Weed was ich kenne. Hunger habe ich auch bekommen. Nochmal, kleinste Menge, heftigster Einschlag. 👍 Dankeschön. 14.03. Es ist vollbracht, heftigstes Weed Ever trocknet in meinem Zelt. Bin ich Happy? Ja. Und doch. 🌊📥💜 😬😬 HEFTIG 1 komplette Stunde war ich heftig von nem Krümel. Dann ging's besser. Interessanterweise war das aber komplett angenehm. Nun ja, wie bereits angekündigt wird es dann noch einen anderen Test geben. Mit ner " normalen " Menge. 😬 ( Ok , vielleicht erstmal doch zahmer, denn es ist so stark wie beschrieben ) Ich hoffe ihr erkennt dieses Glitzern. Im Sonnenlicht ist das so schön... 15.03. FUTURE 1 : Noch nie hatte ich soviel Respekt vor ner Ganja Pflanze. Die hängt im Zelt und trocknet. Aber doch, das war, dafür das das so wenig war...., EXTREM ! Und das war nicht mein erster an diesem Tag. ( 😂😂 Echt nicht ). Meine Empfehlung für : Anfänger nicht. Normalos nicht. Grower mit Toleranz: Vorsicht extrem Stark. Grower mit heftigster Toleranz : Genau Richtig. Wohl bemerkt , bei Knospen. Gutes Haschisch hatte schon vor 50 Jahren über 55 % THC. Aber dieses ANESIA Gebräu kommt dem echt nah. Was ein Einschlag. Es berührt den Gaumen, dein Körper sagt: Her mit dem Qualm Und genau ab da wirst du stoned. Sofort und ohne Umschweife. HIER ENTLANG MEINE DAMEN UND HERREN, ICH ZEIGE IHNEN FUTURE 1. Während des Ausatmens genieße ich wohlige Anklänge von Weihrauch, Haschisch, Floral und noch so ein paar Düfte die ich nicht kenne. Der Qualm ist draussen, ich bin bedient. Sehr angenehm, aber stark. Von dem Fitzel Weed rede ich. Ich konnte gestern danach nicht mehr schreiben. 1 Stunde lang volles Programm, dann ging Sitzen und gamen wieder. Danach brauchte ich ne Erholung. Ich. Ich war so fertig. Kein Weed knallte mehr richtig Wie ich geschlafen habe? Sehr gut. Mit vollem Magen. HEFTIGSTES 16.03. 😀😃😄😁 17.03. fühlt sich an wie Gelee. 19.03. die Knospen sind unglaublich harzig. Und lecker. Kratzt 0 Prellt 1000. ZEHN PUNKTE! Ist so. ANESIA SEEDS eure FUTURE 1 ist in meinen Augen ( nein kein Geschleime ) so schön. Dann dieser Geschmack, bisher noch recht frische Knospen, ist wie ein würziges frisches zusammenspiel von sour Creme mit irgendwas scharfen, welcher mit Ananas und floralen Akzenten, Pfefferminze, abgerundet wird. Untermalt von Limetten zitronigen. Die Mischung ist echt geil wenn sie Zusammenspielt. Vor allem, das schmeckt nach Weed! So , die Wirkung: Erstmal, egal was du den ganzen Tag so gemacht hast, danach geht nix mehr. Du merkst sofort, wie dein Körper runterfährt. Biing, wie ein sanfter, doch gut hörbrer, klingen einer Klangschale, wird dein Geist Stoned.. Das dauert ca 7 sec Angenehm, ohne Fahrstuhl Effekt oder sonstige Unannehmlichkeiten. So, du Rauchst, und bist sofort dicht. Sofort!. Die fragt nicht, die macht einfach. ( Immer noch ne Popcorn Knospe) 😳 Das sind die schwächeren. Ich kann mir gar nicht ausmalen ( doch kann ich 😬😬 ) wie die Oberen knallen. Heftig

******************************************************************** START OF WEEK Went to the grow store and wound up with an AC Infinity EVO6. It should be a nice light for the future, and when my warranty replacement comes back, assuming that won't be an issue, it'll be nice to have a decent back-up. That's the bright side, but I am a little bummed about laying down the cash with ten to 14 days left. That part is the kick in the nutes. Fine, moving on. As for the grow, it's plowing forward. These plants are doing all the things we want them to do right now. They're getting fat, they're getting sticky, and the fade is fading away. Some branches may call for some last minute support, but for now the sucked-in tent walls will continue to suffice. The feed is still at 1100ppm and pk boosted, but the plan is to finish this week around 750. ******************************************************************** END OF WEEK Day 63 of flowering has arrived. I've backed off the nutrients. We're now sitting at 850ppm with about 6-8 gallons in the system remaining. This should equate to a Thursday refill with no feed, and then a Saturday or Sunday chop. VPD has been running a touch high this week, but that's not a concern. It's staying in the ideal range for most of the lights on period, and then trailing up in the last few hours to around 1.7-1.8. No biggie. The new light is really nice, but it runs hotter than the combo of the S22 and S44 (500W total), and that's with the EVO6 driver outside of the tent. This also isn't a big deal. The max tent temp is around 84, and before that wouldn't get past 82. Not a huge difference, and potentially better for the plants with the additional heat. I've got two CO2 mushroom bags in there, so more temp should mean more production at that level. I'm excited for this grow to finish and I'm looking forward to sampling the variety. I'm definitely using half, if not more, to make bubble hash. I'm probably just going to run it all together, as opposed to having runs for each pheno. I'll sample the tops independently, and smash rosin by pheno, but I'm not sold on isolating the hash. Seems like triple the work, but I've got a week to make further considerations, so we'll see. This will be my last grow until I sell this place and move into my next place. I'm going to miss growing. It's brought me a ton of peace by giving me something to anticipate, study, and take pride in. It's such an enjoyable hobby. I'll miss it in the time being, but I'm grateful that I won't need to step foot inside of a dispensary in 2024. Big win there! Everyone should grow their own.

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. Decided to finally finish this diary so that on New Year eve I'm not opening the year with unfinished business. Now we cut the second Tropicanna XL auto plant, the first cut you can find in week 17. The plant from week 17 weighted 2.6 kilo wet, this one finished at 2.1kg. wet. The girls where autoflower but thanks to me starting this grow in cold day temps (14 degree Celsius) the started flower really late and grew and grew :) I enjoyed growing this strain immensely, smells so sweet and fruity, she has the most intense and most delicious aroma ever She brunches off like crazy, gave me a ton of big and dense bud. They were the biggest plants I have ever grown and to top that this cultivar rewarded me with one of the most tasteful buds, fit even for a picky connesour. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SE7000 done it's magic with this grow as with all my other grow ops. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture ($ to gram) here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ A shout out to Sweet Seeds for the gift of this fenomenal genetics: https://sweetseeds.es/en/ Thank you all for your companionship on this voyage, I hope you enjoyed it at least as much as I did. Also thank you for this awesome year together here. Together with my little family we want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy slide into the New Year, we love you all.

Day 91 from seed! She's been fed/watered every 4 days (when media is 90% dry) with 2.5 gallons flood-and-drain style of the above listed nutes. Other than that, I have only been plucking the occasional leaf that looks at me funny! :) Next week is flush week! I'll start next week by dragging her into the bathtub, to flow 50 gallons of tap water through the roots. Then she will be on plain tap water(2.5 gallons every 4 days) for two waterings - She should be dry on day 100, and ready for harvest!

Que hay de nuevo familia, os traigo la actualización de la semana de nuestras crazy cookies, increíble el tamaño que están alcanzando los centrales, hay que tener bastante cuidado con los nutrientes, si te pasas un poco te lo harán saber. Tienen un olor bastante peculiar, estas últimas semanas desarrollará todos sus terpenos. Ph seguimos controlándolo alrededor de 6.5 temperatura algo elevará y humedad perfecta por debajo de los 40%. No creo que tarden mucho en estar siguen engordando y formando esas flores, la semana que viene veremos cómo avanzan fumetillas.

Day 37 - Did a little defoliating, I’m really hoping it doesn’t stunt her too much. Guess time will tell! Day 38 - Everything seems to be ok after defoliating a bit yesterday, just feeding and waiting on her to really start flowering! Day 39 - No major changes with her, still growing like a weed. Day 40 - Still looking good. Day 41 - Just waiting on her to start flowering. Pistils are popping but no budding yet. Day 42 - Growing like a weed for sure! Really starting to stretch. Think she might be starting to flower finally. Hopefully, cause she’s gonna outgrow the tent if she keeps stretching!
