This week was no less stressful, but the previous week prepared us. More and more snow turns white. The microscope is ready. Nutrient solution at the maximum recommended parameters. But there is a problem with the tips of the leaves, they turn yellow first and then dry up and turn brown. I think this is the consequence of the maximum ppm. direct sunlight, a running giant fan at a distance of 20 cm, and an unstable ph lvl. There were significant changes in temperature from 16 at night to 31 during the day. The funnest is when it rains after a hot day. and they turn off the electricity at night. A humid environment of 65-70% without a fan is my nightmare in reality. So a piece of cardboard and energetic hand movements created the wind and the impression that I crazy But there are often good times, when the temperature is 26-27 degrees and the humidity is 45% without a humidifier. The girls smell amazing 😎

Well, the drought stress in week 11 really fucked my plants up, but Twiggy recovered, while Zoey was hurt pretty bad. If I did nothing, I'm betting harvest would've been 25% more, and Zoey's buds wouldn't look so crappy, but overall, I was so happy with this grow! I was under a time crunch, so only did minimal veg for 4 weeks, topping once. Daily watering with 1.8EC mix that was pretty consistent. Kept pH between 5.5 and 5.8. Kept tight control on humidity and temperature up to mid flower, then kept air circulation on to keep room humidity around 55% Things I'd do differently: 1. Veg longer - I'd love to try a mainline 2. Canopy control - wish I had spent the time on a SCROG screen, or at least a couple of rings. 3. More light sooner into flower. Waited about 4 weeks into flower before maxing out the light. Probably could've bulked them up significantly if I started earlier 4. Drought stressing - For Fucks Sake, keep a close eye on your plants, and the minute they start to wilt, get the water back on 'em!!! 5. Measure your run-off more frequently for salt build-up. Didn't have any problems, but it's a good best practice. 6. Set up proper closed-loop environment to allow for CO2 enrichment. 7. Set up a clone environment before you get to flower. Oops. Things I was happy with: 1. VPD control system (heat, humidity) during veg and early flower worked flawlessly. Never any nute burn, and super healthy plants. 2. Sterilized soil and grow-room before starting - never had a single bug or any mold/mildew issues. Used a MERV 13 filter on the air intake, exhaust through carbon to crawlspace. 3. Coco/perlite mix - super drainage, low build-up, very healthy roots. 4. Power meter - neat way to measure what's really going into the grow, so when your wife complains about power usage, you can show her the real numbers. 5. Photone app on Android S20 - Knew where my PPFD was for optimal growth control. 6. REX-C100 PID controller for toaster oven - super tight temperature control comes in handy for decarbing as well as toasting oak for moonshine.

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

Often, marijuana growers who have their plants in indoor grow tents or rooms with artificial lighting, take into account parameters such as temperature and relative humidity to maximize plants growth and bloom, thus obtaining abundant harvest with top quality flowers. As we will see later, these factors affect different processes of the plant, such as transpiration or nutrient uptake. However, we usually forget about another important factor that is related to the aforementioned ones: vapor pressure deficit or VPD. Broadly speaking, VPD is the difference between the amount of water vapor that the atmosphere is able to retain (which depends on temperature) and the amount of water vapor contained in it (relative humidity). It is usually measured in kilopascals (kPa). Providing our plants with a correct relationship between temperature and relative moisture will keep us on the right VPD parameters, increasing the plant’s activity and thus improving its growth and showing its full potential during the flowering phase. The ideal would be to adjust both parameters (temperature and humidity) to get the best possible VPD value, so that the development of plants will be amazing.In the chart above you can see the right temperature and moisture values to maximize the development of cannabis plants. The green zone shows you optimal values of VPD, in which it would be ideal to maintain the environment. The orange zone shows correct values, in which plants should not have problems to develop normally. However, red areas show values in which your plants will be very far from hit their full potential, since the relation between temperature and moisture is not optimal. With relatively high values of VPD (between 5 and 12) plants tend to open their stomata and release a considerable amount of water vapor into the environment (increasing their transpiration). This increase in transpiration results in an increase in the plant’s photosynthetic activity, which will need more nutrients and will improve its overall growth, both during growth and bloom. The best range is between 7.5 and 10.5, which we have marked in green. However, we must be careful that VPD is not too high (dark red zone) since the plant would close its stomata to avoid releasing too much water vapor to the environment, which would result in fast dehydration due to excessive transpiration. On the other hand, if VPD is too low (light red zone), the plant will also close its stomata for not releasing more water into the atmosphere, which in this case would be already saturated (it would have reached the maximum water retention capacity in a specific temperature). In this way, reducing transpiration will also reduce photosynthesis, which has a direct impact on the plant’s development and yield. That way, VPD is essential when it comes to offer the best conditions for the development of plants, also to understand its water requirements according to the nutrients used and thus adjust them correctly to meet the grower’s expectations. N/B: SAY NO TO DRUGS -[Day 90] The plants are getting massive, not a lot of space left in the room, each pictures are token back against the wall or on top of a chair. The Super Skunk shall be ready first , the trichomes are visible without using a microscope, the scent is like an amazing candy floss coated with Skunk pee 😅Boerejongens quality @Home 😊 -[Day 93] Switching Buld Lumatek 90000 Lumens 1000PAR to SuperPlant Super Red 85000 Lumens 2000K 1498nm Lightening under the 1500nm wavelength (2000K) just between the NIR and the Microwave length, can't stand in the room too long without getting tears and shining eyes. Buds shall start to blowup like pineapples, increasing yield. -[Day 98] Everything is getting frosty. Starting to decrease RH . -[Day 103] Today the Y Griega started to push on her terpenes, believe it or not that plant smell stronger than the 6 giants Skunks (the Skunk strain is already a very strong smelling plant), she smell like a coffeeshop front door, the fragrance is absolutely amazing and fantastic, I will definitely grow a full crop of that strain ! -[Day 105] 42 days of Blooming folks ! It's getting serious now 😄 If it can helps you to realize, each plants gots 4 side and a middle, each sides gots 4-6 buds and there's 5-6 buds in the middle, there's 11 plants of 1,60m/5.25ft, how many buds does it makes ?? The correct answer will win 1 like 😅😂😅😂 -[Day 106] WEEK 7 of flowering, the end is close my friends, I'm trying to give you the best shots as possible, I wish I'd could share a good smoke from this crop with you guys ....😉 -[Day 113] WEEK 8 starting, every beginning has an end, this is where the Fall is gonna start. -[Day 115] LADY'S AND GENTLEMEN !!! In the Indica's category the winner is .... ruuuuummmmmbbbbbllllleeee ..... VANILLA KUSH !!!!!! I've seriously tough the Super Skunks will be ready first, but Vanilla Kush has shown milky tric's after 52 days of Blooming, waiting for some few ambers tric's before starting the Flush. -[Day 121] Hopefully for me I didn't trust in breeders flowering periods I would have f*ck up the crop ... Plants are fading slowly and naturally, I won't need to flush. Checking the trichomes every 4 days, the crop will probably need another 2-3 weeks. All plants are running on water now till the end. Buds are ripening, the smell has turn into a kind of roasted coffee beans with Skunk pee and cotton candy. -[Day 122] Milky tric's spotted on Blueberry after 59 days of blooming -[Day 123] 60 Days of blooming, gonna flush them all

Just been adding water this week. Today I cleaned all my autopots and repotted the five plants. I first add the airdomes , then clay pebbles followed by perlite. I then use a mix of Dutch Vega soil 4 parts to one part perlite. Then mix in Bio grow from greenhouse feed and Silicum Flash from Biotabs. I then watered them with the Bio enhancer from greenhouse feed. Hopefully in a week the roots will be ready to hand over to the autopots watering system.

Thinking about pull out a good amount of clones soon. From seed is a nightmare. My personal Ethos germination rate is not good. Amazing plant by the way. Once they pop they look good, strong, easy to train. Some are under the italian method. Dancing the tarantella. Super happy now!🦄

Day 37 from seed. 2nd day into week 6. -My focus for this week is to keep room temperatures under 75 degrees since I notice that my roots don’t like high nutrients temp. And since I m in DWC single 5 gallons bucket I don’t have the possibility to chill the water. So I have to keep the room temp lower then I wish to. - Day 41- I have to add nutrients and PH down every 12 hours. My PPM’s goes from 450 to 390 and my PH drift from 5.7 to 6.2 in less then 12 hours. Also I notice some rust on older levels (probably Ca/Mg deficiency). After some research (I’m new to this) I decided to up the nutrients to 600 PPM’s. Hopefully is a good decision. I will really appreciate some feedback.

The girls recovered the same day as the topping last week. They have more than doubled in height and gain nodes quickly. Accidentally was giving wrong dose of nutes last week and corrected it this week. These strains are very hardy so far

Day 86 . I will chop first two today. Plant A and B, C stays for a week still, a bit airy and not mature , but she was in shade mostly ... Spent almost 5 hours defoliating other plants and got too high and drunk a bit, so dry trim chosen for first two ;)))) Day 93. Last girl down ! Dry trim again ! @PurpleWorship just to prove my kilo idea I made a video for you ;))) this one was starved, she needed watering yesterday, so I could bump her to 1.5 easy .... Her sisters were heavier ;))) will do one more with monster Green Crack, can make a bet she will be above 2 kg easy ! ;))) Made some bubble hash, got light brown and pinky colour at the end when dried. Lovely ! Happy Growing !!!

This week has been awesome with these ladies! Have moved them to the flowering tent and letting them get acclimated in here. Will prolly do 1 more week then switch to flower for this tent! Have got all 6 ladies all stacked in here all tight together. They are already demanding alot of water so I can see how a drip system might be nice but idk if would work for coco Still doing same 5.6- 5.7 ph declorinated water with a heavy feed. Still doing some training as these girls grow so have more tops as they streach. I maintain about a 60%RH for this room for now and give them ladies about 1400ml every 2 or 3 days. Will do a pre-flower check again in the next couple days should be showing havnt looked much! Fingers crossed!! Much

Sticky Orange XXL Automatic from Sensi Seeds is now eight weeks old, and she’s absolutely stunning! The buds are dense, the aroma is strong and delicious, and most importantly — incredibly sticky. We’re using fertilizers from Xpert Nutrients, and I must say, our girl is absolutely loving it! This product is truly high-quality, and we’re seeing excellent results. A huge thank you to Xpert Nutrients for their amazing fertilizer — it’s making our baby so healthy and strong!

Hello there, 🇬🇷 so the previous week was good with slow but steady growth...the girls were fed with Bio Grow from GHF and some of the Enhancer...they are under a 50W Led,safe and sound,until transplant when they will be moved outdoors... WEEK 3 : "RUN IF YOU CAN" ☠️Day 15...they are forming the 5th set of leaves...strange thing,when I get them out of their cupboard they tend to stretch their leaves upwards...when I put them back they are back to normal...I think it has to do with humidity...thinking of transplanting soon as I can see the roots on 2 of the 3...I started preparing the pots,I put Bio Grow from GHF and the babies will be transplanted there in a few days...just waiting for the weather to be stable as they will go outdoors... ☠️Day 16...💧watering time for my babies...they seem to be very well...awaiting for that transplant...today I was thinking about what to do with the girls in terms of training...what I have decided is that I will perform different techniques for each one of them...one will be left to grow naturally like a Christmas tree...the second will be topped and the third will be LSTed...it is a good chance to compare the final weight of each technique...what stresses me a bit is that these girls will go outdoors during the day and under low wattage Leds during the night...I am used to using an HPS lighting and I don't know if the sun here from my spot will be enough...moreover summer is coming...here in Greece the temps will go above 35° C in July...I guess I have work to do and solutions to find... ☠️Day 17...💧📥transplant is here...the girls were put in their final homes, pots of 15 L,and were watered with plain water...I used "Coco Humus" which is coco coir fiber mixed with 20 % manure and organic matter...Its ph is 6,0 - 6,8...I also added Bio Grow, 45 gr for 15 L substrate, and the same quantity of Bio Bloom, both from Green House Feeding... I was a bit confused if I should place the Bio Bloom now,but I decided to do so as these are their final containers...they are 100% organic so I am not worried about any kind of burn... they are now inside under low wattage Leds so that they will slowly get used to their new environment...I may give them some sun in the afternoon...their roots had reached the bottoms of the solo cups,so it was a good time for transplanting...hope they will take it good...I don't like calling them with numbers so I will give them names...We have Angie,Michelle and Lucy...Girls say hello to everyone... ☠️Day 18...its cloudy outside...the girls will stay inside under their low lighted shelter...maybe I will take them outside for a couple of hours just to get some fresh air...transplant was OK for them,no signs of shock or something...they are a bit small but from now on they will have the mighty Sun with them outside...I hope they will boost...Run if you can babies... 💀💀💀...today they survived a massive attack from my son...he probably wanted his toys back from the pots...🤣🤣🤣Anyway,Michelle is a bit hurt on her stem..not something very serious but I have to keep an eye on her... ☠️Day 19...💧summer is here...with temps at 32°C the girls are outside sunbathing...🌞I uploaded a short video showing them off... I watered each one with 500 ml of pure water (ph 6,9)... ☠️Day 20...it's too hot down here...the girls are enjoying the sun but I have a feeling I will have a problem with the temps outside...it's too early too be that hot...32-35 °C... ☠️Day 21....💧last day of the week...the girls are doing fine...I would like them a bit bigger but I think they will catch up...Today I used 6,0 ph water for the first time...usually I don't adjust it,straight from the tap...after a lot of research I decided to give them water at this ph as it is better for coco.I hope the will like it.. So,I hope u enjoyed this week like I did...see u next week..stay tuned...

So I started seeing some ember with my microscope. So I thought it's TIME TO HARVEST. I prepared the place for it and put it in darkness for 2 days so my girl would feel that it's time for her to give it all she got. And today 17.06 I chopped her and hanged her upside down to dry. Im sooo happy and can't wait to try it. Now I'm facing a big problem... My country became super hot.. and I'm struggling to keep humidity and temperatures correct 😭🌡️ I'm still gonna try my best to give it a long drying process.. then I'll update you on the smells and everything. I havent even checked the wet weight coz I don't wanna disturb the buds. I'll just give it it's time.. and then better I check the weight when I separate every cola and it will be dry enough😊😊😊 The other girl is having the time of her life now.. all the tent is hers now. What she was dreaming of since the beginning :c.she still has some time left before harvest. I'll attach the pictures!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤👿🌲

Vamos familia, actualizamos la novena semana de floración de estas Runtz Punch de Herbies. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 22-24 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. Este armario se contaminó las últimas semanas de trips, tengo que parar un poco para desinfectar todo bien. Las flores acaban madurando bien y se llenaron de tricomas, por el momento todo correcto, os dejé también alguna novedad y un cambio en la sala, agradecer al equipo de Mars hydro por el nuevo TSW2000. (los últimos 5 años cultive solo con los leds de esta marca). Os comento que ya les doy machete estos días. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later. I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.
