The addition of an enzyme has produced amazing results that were shocking and worrying at first. Massive rise in EC and PH every 24 hours from 5.3 - 6.8. Research yet no sign of any harm to the plants, in fact they seem very happy! The enzymes has created an environment friendly to the beneficial microbes and fungi that has lead to a feeding frenzy (Which wouldn't have happened ad I used Hygrozyme from the start.). EC rises a point or two as the microbes and plants expel waste and create a plethora of negative charged hydrogen ions. Thus, the PH rises. Never above 6.8, strangely. Because the microbes are eating and shitting so well, they have added a lot of chilated nutrients that are easier for the plants to uptake at a wider range of PH (Yes, some as high as 6.8). The fact that there are so many bunches of calyxes sprouting and exploding, filling in the flower space is proof enough for me.

Impressionante la velocità di fioritura delle dutchfem autofiorenti! Sono nel periodo di fioritura inoltrata e si stanno riempiendo tutte di infiorescenze dure, appiccicose e molto resinose e profumate, in giardino sembra di essere in un negozio di frutta fresca! Sfiorano il metro e cinquanta centimetri di altezza alcune e la maggior parte sembrano XL perché le lunghe diramazioni si stanno riempiendo tutte in ogni parte delle piante. Purtroppo il clima al centro Italia è un po' sfasato e ogni giorno alterna caldo umido forte con pioggie fresche brevi e poi ritorna il sole. Gli afidi stanno provando con tutte le loro forze a superare la protezione dell'olio di piretro, sono sotto le foglie gli afidi ma non stanno minimamente indebolendo il vigore delle piante anzi sembrano fiorire più aggressive e la resina inizia ad incollare ogni insetto parassita che sta tentando di attaccare le mie piante. Biologicamente queste varietà sono impeccabili e si adattano ai cambiamenti climatici e ai nuovi insetti parassiti resistono. Qualche lepidottero ha iniziato a mangiare qualche foglia ed infiorescenze ma non è un problema perché manualmente ogni giorno dedico un ora a rimuovere i bruchi. Dai video e foto si vede che non si scherza con queste varietà! Un abbraccio a tutti e forza Dutchfem auto in Italia!

This strain was easy to grow, short and very bushy. The smell when drying has an incredibly strong earthy/chocolate aroma which is very pleasant🤤.

OK, so I’ll begin dialing back in my grow focusing after I gave her a top dress feeding I watered her in well with 2 gallons of water unpHd maybe two or three days later I noticed that her topsoil was starting to dry so I gave her another gallon of water just because although I believe in allowing the plant to have the dry back. Between watering I also keep hearing you know that with organic soil, you have to keep it moist in order for you know the nutrient to break down and I definitely want those top nutrients I gave her to become readily available . Also, in terms of dialing it back in the plant has been at a very abbreviated or dimmed level like since recovering from when I basically almost killed it and with that being said with the light being out at a dim level of about 40 to 50%, it was also brought up to a very High height in order to decrease stress so that they can regrow so I lower the light from 26 inches 28“ to 14 inches above the canopy. I put back in my floor fan for the lower canopy although I found out that it no longer circulate so I’m having to replace it. Its replacement is on the way in the mail. I added it back in the humidifier for the plants mainly because I was doing the cuttings in the clones since I needed to trim the lower canopy and begin training the plant down more for the trellis. This is my first run using a trellis. This is my first time trying to make one plant so massive, but I’m just a small time grower trying to get the most bang for my book since I’m trying to grow plants to supply myself anyways rather than maintaining so many different plants, I just thought I’d give it a go at making one plant massive I’ve gotten fairly decent and establishing good structure implants as far as like the number of branches or branches so I really wanna like push the threshold of my quantity that I can that I can deliver, but this are all the while. I’m still really working hard to get the quality that I know I like to smoke. I’m happy you know I’m learning but wow I’m still very far from the goal so the light is still at 50% but it lowered to 14 inches. There’s an additional lower canopy fan that’s not currently circulating but one on the way that will circulate the air down there and the humidifier in the tent now oh I also reprogram my humid controller because ever since I’ve called the other three plants that were occupying this tent when I began this this project I tried to switch it over for new settings for this plan considering you know it was set for the flower setting for my last three ladies but when I did that I messed it up and I was just too lazy to go in there and fix it so we have been running with BPD issues this entire time you know and that’s that’s part of the stunning growth as well you know the darn near 30 inch light height, being hungry and meet me during the watering but just in discriminated amounts because I’m not TDS and or PPM any of this stuff I’m really just eyeballing it not paging this stuff circulation and low light intensity. I mean, I can see why it’s taking her a little while to start moving like got like I remember her moving but since I’m back posting I’m I’m I’m working a dollar and I was even considering buying a new light at first but then I realized one I do have a really good light too. I really haven’t got that many runs off of this light less than 10 three is because I doubt her back so much in order to like decrease the stress and I can. I can push this plant with this light. I just need to dial my equipment back in and for you know, I had him back in the extra circulation and the humidifier to get the environment dialed in. I mean, you thought you get that BPD setting right and she used to transpired but now she’s hungry and if I keep that so more so that those nuts can break down she’s gonna get to looking for those nutrients so if not now like I think it’s supposed to take a week no more than a week gonna have to before those nutrients become you know bi available tour so I’m doing I’m doing my part now to give her the attention that she needs into dollar back in so that we can we can get the show on the road. This is entirely too long, but that’s just because I haven’t. I’ve been. I’ve been hands off. I mean, I found that I like the hands off approach to growing much more than the hands-on because then I’m too impatient and I’m oh man then it becomes a chore and has to go take care of her. You know as opposed to a pleasure or like a getaway, I enjoy when I take care of my plan. I like it to be at my activity you know not something that I’m just ready to get over with. I like to spend time with my plans I like to not mind going in there and then defoliating every couple of days. Listen, I need a strain that has an excellent of matter fact a low leaf to blood ratio I need far more bud and weight less leaves. I strain that I pick out a pure interest, but at this point, I’m almost ready to pick strains based off of leaf to blood ratio. I would enjoy just a good simple girl like I just have a couple of leaf Plug every couple of weeks. Let’s see when I’m mean to her with food top dressed because she’s in a 6 gallon hot, I gave her 1 tablespoon of the guy green broke and 3 tablespoons of organic worm castings per 6 gallons so that was a total of 6 tablespoons of the guy green grow nutrient maybe even seven for good measure and then 18 tablespoons cause I don’t know how many you know a4 cups 1/3 cup for cups that is but I actually wanna find out so I can stop doing these tablespoon measurements but 18 tablespoons of worm castings and I just I did my best to work. I didn’t really well to the top so and then I watered that in really slowly to try to avoid runoff the best I could. I did end up getting about a quarter inch runoff when I usually get about an inch and a half a runoff so I did good. I just even know that stuff eventually sucks back up in the pot. I didn’t want all that stuff to like rush to the bottom and then only get sucked back up at the bottom cause I don’t know what the root looks like at the bottom. I kinda have to assume that it is nice and strong, and maybe even root bound need to be upside to a bigger pot before I flipper the flower but if it’s not like I don’t want the concentration of nutrients and salts to be at the very bottom, especially when it comes time later for flushing, like I want that stuff to be you know closer to the to the top in the middle of the other of the soul structure, where I know the majority of the roots are and eventually work as way down to the evening rate, but not have a concentration at the bottom and I’m adding stuff in at the top. I really wanna flush this plant. Well, my lash flush it was semi decent. This flush it could be between my flesh, my dry and my cure which is crippling anybody I mean the girl I got far better man you should’ve seen my first couple girls terrible but now I’m gonna achieve quality in good structure. I just need to get I mean I can see quality you know structure of plants and blood structure but I gotta get the quality smoke. The sticks the smells taste the dense buds at the right moisture level if you’re enjoying it so far, give us a like. FINAL UPDATE OF THIS WEEK: 16DAYS SINCE DRY AMENDING SOIL . . PLANT STILL SHOWS NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY. I had hoped to be back on Water Onlu by now bc I’m afraid I’m going t burn her with these nutrient waters this long since my dry ammenduand what’s worse is that if I follow my 3 week amendment rule I’ll be adding 6 more tbl spoons of nutrient alongside worm castings ALL WHILE THE LAST NUTRIENTS I FED STILL HAVENT BECOME AVAILABLE YET. I DONT LIKE THIS

Starting to slow down their feed , they are drinking much slower then before and in a few days I’ll do a quick flush fully watering the pots till water comes out the bottom and another 500ml of magnesium sulphate so that I have something back into the substrate right away to prevent any lost they might suffer from an under feed in these crucial periods

Feeding nutes based on chart, water in (sameday) ..... clean compost brewer and brew new batch (sameday) ..... use compost tea once wk (nextday, water in lil) and discard and clean for next week.... defoliation a lil daily..... HENCE ... becoming more of a chore or should I say we have a great relationship right now. A coexistence, a sudden need for one another. They are my sheep and I am there shephard! Now lets harvest some cotton!

D92. RH hitting peak conditions 44%. Dehuimifier is working 5hrs a day. Maybe another 15 days to go. Hoping to bring her to whole harvest. This half harvest thing is crap. I just want uniformed bud top-mid-low growth. 7/4/22 Bud is coming on real nicely. I'd say as she is she'll give an oz of frosty as f..k bud. With the addition of the lower led lights I'm hoping she'll finish off. As she's in soil. So half harvest isn't really an option as soil turn around is to long. Once you start a process like a flush you kinda have to follow through with it. So, if there is 10-15% of bud that has no more than 15% of white pistils I'll be happy taking her once I feel she's reached the point where the buds stop expanding and focusing on terps. As she is, she's doing really well, has responded to the hard flush really well. PPM was only 490 so she's still eating. Happy days. Will do the test again next week and if she is at feed ppm level I'll know she's finish eating and I'll throw her into a week or 2 of flawless finish and harvest her. So depending on the flush during the week this might be her last week on nutes. Bout 3 weeks in total left. 2 for the flush and a wk left on nutes. Will keep her dosed on micro enzymes for the rest of wk and 1ml/l during 1st wk of flush. 9/4/22 Finished this girl. Some stigma, (white pistils). Put her on overdrive just for 1 week. She's surprisingly still eating, not much 400ppm only. 1150ppm back, so she's coming to her end, sadly the end, that was full of stigma has kinda finished up, 90% of hairs have turned to Amber. I don't know if this is a good thing, but the sugar leafs are getting so packed down around the larf the sugar leafs have coned in on each other, full of tricks, I mean full of it, trim to keep for sure, all long trichs you can see them even with a scope you can see the top colas are fully cloudy. Few clear ones around the lowest end but they'll cloud up in the dark period. Absolutely stinks of orange zest, the tangerine smell is also coming out, full bodied zesty/crit stinky little bitch. I'd say she'll put out 20-30g dry. I'm really happy with what she's going to give me, I'll for sure am going to be roughly trimming her and letting most of the heavily heavily packed sugar leafs coming out of the bud sites. I'd say around 70% of the bud has finished off. If only last week I'd of taken the tops I could have kicked rhe bottom into feeding and finished her off, as most of that stigma was 90% white. Nearly 70% Amber now probably even 80-90% Amber. Around 20% clear around the end. As you can see in the pics, she's DONE!!!! Flawless Finish her for a week, I only gave her a 800ppm feed of overdrive and cal mag extra about 500ml on top of her weeks feed. I'll hard flush her in 4 days. And give her a week on flawless finish. Then I'm gonna hang dry her in the bathroom RH is 55% 19c temp, will have to take her out in morning for a showers and stuff but it'll be a perfect place. Also the house will be a pleasure to smell for our guests. Not saying its normally not, but the smell is normally burning weed, can't beat the fresh of smelly stinky bud. Going to dry this 1 in the long way....10-14 days hopefully. Shell be given 500ml an hour before harvest to prolong her drying time, increase terps and allow sugars to bring out the true taste of this beauty. Dont mind the rust spots. Its not from any def/tox she is 100% healthy. It was just a case of her getting a mix of overdrive 4 weeks ago when she was on big bud. It caused all these rust spots. I've been taking pics and placing something for scale and have been constantly checking and rechecking leafs and glad to say these are just war wounds from a beginners mistake. 4 weeks ago I was juggling 5 different plants and yeah I messed up and she got a dose of overdrive. 13/4/22 Plant looks very frosty. Stinks of orange zest to me more than tangerines. Has a very sharp citrus snap to her, you know what she is straight away. Something very very fruity, very pungent. Not a secret grow but it that way, nor is the zkittlez if ingcognito is your thing. RH climed into the 50's for the 1st time in 4 days without dehuimifier, thankfully it's not a constant thing to run, fuck me it likes KWH. 1 every 3 hours nearly. That's 10hours of my light on full blast. 100 watt light 10hrs of use =1KWH for those who don't know that. Good to know exactly what you are spending on your grow. Your 1st will always clearly be the most expensive. Like nutes/lights/tents even substrates have more than 1 life. So what it comes down to in the end, is how much a month is it costing your bottom line. If you are like me, and not growing in mammys basement, then watts matter. If you have noticed my PPM was double that nearly for the weeks 1st feed, I also cut out some nutes. I'm still giving high PK I'm just reaching my PPM differently is all. Still in the push during flower. But less, get her hungry to really eat as much as she can, pace her. Thanks for reading! Be sure to drop a like so I can check out your grows! gottagrowsometime

05/25/22 changed nutrient water PH 6.11 TDS 932. Planning on doing a small defoliation, plant has alot of leaves. Removed LST. 05/26/22 PH 6.19 TDS 906 05/27/22 PH 6.15 TDS 780 05/28/22 PH 6.09 TDS 900 found a couple leaves with spots. Calcium deficiency? Checked PH was fine, checked PH pen, was not fine 😢, recalibrate to proper and recheck PH. running at PH 5.67. Added PH-up and flushed. Fingers crossed 🤞 05/29/22 PH 6.13 TDS 915 had to tie plant, the weight is making it tip in pot. Plant was leaning on back wall. 05/30/22 PH 6.18 TDS 756 05/31/22 PH 6.10 TDS 900

Flushed 9 days ppm back to normal drinking water. Trichomes very cloudy 10 % Amber. Week of drying then will give yield #. Maybe 100g fingers crossed last same strain b4 this one produced 125grams of dryed good nug.
