July 20: smoke arrived this morning to go with our heat wave. Awesome. Extra watering, misting air, and wetting the sides of the grow bags with hose water to keep things cooler and hydrated. So far so good in the heat. Did foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. Also note that for all my grows I use apple cider vinegar for pH adjustment and a Dr Bronners liquid soap as a wetting agent (surfactant). Euphoria is doing great, but to ensure that it finishes early enough for this latitude (53N) where the UV light gets very weak after mid-August, I’m starting the force flowering tonight. Already starting to flower but I want a strong flower set and as much flower growth under strong sunlight as possible. Force flowering schedule is 2-3 weeks of in dark garage at 9 pm followed by 730 nm far red light and then back out at 7 am. The light initiates dark mode 2 h faster so it’s like having a 26 h day. Good trick use as a bloom booster, also moves up the finish 2-4 weeks. So, 10+2 is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight. Might sound bogus but it works. July 21: first night of force flowering caused a big stretch. Notably stretched after darkness in hot garage overnight. Hot outside overnight too but was much hotter inside garage and recorded here as 24 C. Seems okay and high overnight temperature might be ideal at this early flowering stage. Warm overnight temperatures continue for a few more days. July 22: record hot overnight low forecast for tonight of 24 C and feels like 27 C with humidity. Wow, that is really incredible for here and 13 C above historic average. July 26: six days into flowering and she is doing fine. 👍👍

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

J'ai continué mon LST et la défoliation au cours de la semaine passée. J'ai ensuite continué l'arrosage, mais un petit surrengraissage d'azote pointe le bout de son nez alors qu'elle demande toujours du phosphore et du potasium (leger), je vais lui faire un arrosage à l'eau claire, seulement additionné de PK 50/33 pour faire tampon jusqu'à rétablissement de la belle.

Week 2 and everything is going great so far • They are still being fed twice a day (for 12 minutes) same as last week. • The EC value has been increased this week because midway through last week the nutrient tank reduced in strength, meaning they were drinking slightly more water than nutrients. The aim is to keep the EC value the same as the water level drops throughout the week. • The pH has been increased for this week too. • The only plans for plant manipulation this week is to climb under the canope and pull down any tall bud sites to the same level as the rest. That's it, all trimming and bending is complete. • Midweek foliar spray with BioTabs BoomBoom spray.

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Not a whole lot is happening this week, still having some PH issues in the medium, I believe this is from the microbial mass I added a while back. A microbe product, PH going into the medium is around 6.5-6.8 and coming out is between 5.5-5.8, so something is acidifying it up. Also noticed the runoff last week was a bit higher at times. So lowered the feed down quite a bit, going in at 1.4EC vs 1.8 will bump it up to 1.5 and 1.6 in the next few weeks. I also added in a bit of a PK booster. nothing to crazy only 60ppm worth on a total allowance of 700PPM Lights now running at 100% with V1 spectrum, decided to go with 100% now vs after stretch, will see how it works out. Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ + https://www.emeraldtriangleseeds.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled + https://www.facebook.com/OriginalETS/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow + https://twitter.com/emeraldseeds Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ + https://www.instagram.com/emeraldtriangleseeds/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow + https://growdiaries.com/grower/emeraldtriangleseeds https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/emerald-triangle-seeds

The grow is nearing its end. Apart from the completely different phenotypes of the Strawberry Gummies, I'm actually really satisfied... I've only watered with Flawless this week, and you can see that autumn has definitely arrived... I'll be taking out the two front Strawberry Gummies later; they've reached the desired ripeness. The remaining plants will stay for another week.

Week 6 for Gelato 41 Besides the sad injury she suffered from her accident (losing a main top branch), shes really starting to take off at a rapid pace wouldn't say its the same plant from the week before. Shes definitely a bushy girl, the bottom branches have fully caught up to the tops. Going to start training her a bit size ways now as she clearly favours getting bushier. Also gave her some outdoor sun for 3 days in a row as we had some cloudy days to start hardening off her leaves, but not fully transitioning fully outdoors just yet.

This week was particularly rough with the shock to the plants from overdosing on myco+ 3-0-3 Really instilled a sense of extra caution and at some level paranoia lol fortunately the plants have shown to be very resilient in their desire to Thrive and grow because a rain water flush worked like a dream

F21 Starting week 4 of flowering, the code red is already about 80 cm and the crescendo around 70 cm. Pretty good for a 3-4 week veg from what I've had. The tips on some leafs are a bit burned in the code red but besides that everything going fine, they are drinking like 24 liters every week Can't believe the smell from the code red, it's amazing really, and the terps are forming everywhere, already want to smoke it. It's like a weird strawberry fruity soda of sorts. And the Crescendo isn't very smelly but it seems like will be getting an orange citrus aroma like the one before, not strong in flowering but after curing it gets much better.

dia 48 - La planta sigue bien, empieza a estirarse como parte del proceso de floracion y ya ha sobrepasado la primera malla. Más adelante colocare la segunda que sera la que soporte el peso y forme las colas cargaditas de cogollo. Cuando coloque esta segunda malla aprovechare para hacer defoliacion de las hojas inferiores ya que no va a llegar la luz y al no haber ventilador se puede acum,ular humedad en esa zona y causar hongos

Die Pflanzen sehen in Ordnung aus, habe aber diverse Probleme mit diesem Durchgang gehabt. Einerseits das Problem mit der Überbelichtung, dann habe ich festgestellt dass eine der Pflanzen (warum auch immer) übergossen war, vermutlich war der topf noch nicht ausreichend durchwurzelt. Dann macht der Sommer unfassbare Probleme die Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit im Griff zu haben vorallem da ich zu früh gelollipoppt habe . Dann ist auch noch unsere Regentonne draussen kaputt gegangen und ich muss mit Leitungswasser gießen. Habe nur 3/4 der Herstellerangaben verwendet , war wohl trotzdem zu viel Pflanzen haben definitiv Nährstoffbrand. Und weil des alles nicht reicht haben wir auch einen Calcium und eine Magnesium Mangel. Habe mit CalMag entgegengewirkt. Alles in allem nicht optimal. Trotzdem die Pflanzen sind extrem Zuckrig und riechen kräftig. Kann den Geruch nicht ganz einschätzen. Ab jetzt Flushe ich noch 1 Woche bevor ich dann meine Pflanzen ernte. Ich denke der nächste Grow wird wieder mit vielen Klonen sein.

Gracias al equipo de Divine Seeds, Marshydro y XpertNutrients sin ellos esto no seria posible. 💐🍁Fractal: La semilla de marihuana Fractal es una cepa especialmente psicodélica que Semillas Divinas desarrolló para experiencias esotéricas y místicas, meditación y creatividad. La potente y vívida Skunk#1 fue cruzada con una pegajosa Afghani Indica, y el resultado es ahora conocido como Fractal. Este exótico híbrido es resinoso, picante y productivo. La mejor opción para el cultivo comercial: un compromiso entre mayores rendimientos y maduración rápida. En interiores se espera una altura de 1,70 m, en exteriores las plantas crecen hasta 2 m. Fractal se adapta a todo tipo de entorno de cultivo: cajas de cultivo, instalaciones hidropónicas o aeropónicas, plantaciones exteriores, balcones, terrazas e invernaderos. Para un mejor rendimiento se recomienda entrenar a las plantas de Fractal para ampliar su estructura y limitar su crecimiento vertical. Usar ScroG o SoG, LST, FIM o topping. Fractal tiene una inmunidad inherente al moho y a las plagas de insectos, pero como sus colas son gruesas, proteja sus plantas del aire viciado. También durante las semanas de lluvia su plantación puede necesitar ser cubierta. Listo para la cosecha al aire libre en octubre. Grandes y densos cogollos. Los cogollos de marihuana de la variedad Fractral huelen a hachís y algo a tierra, desprenden cedro y notas afrutadas al romperse. Mida su porción con cuidado: su potencia está por encima de la media. Con Fractal experimentas un apedreamiento general que te hace sentarte o frena tu movimiento. Perfecto para pasar una noche junto a una hoguera. Es mejor consumirlo por la noche. 🚀🌻 Consigue aquí tus semillas: https://divineseeds.net/es/fractal-fem/ 💡FC6500: Eficiencia líder en el mercado: la lámpara de cultivo LED FC-E6500, que ostenta un estatus líder en el mercado, es una solución rentable con un PPE de 2,8 µmol/J y un rendimiento máximo de 2,5 g/vatio.
