After another weekend spent away from home, on day 26 both Opiums present at 30 cm height, having grown big and bushy. Their thirst increased, I will water them when their next day starts. And do some more LST. Not too long until I can install the scrogging net. I am really impressed by their progress. They developed a lot of branching side branches and look really healthy and bushy. In contrast to what I wrote before, I think I can stay a few days longer with the current 80% 18/6 lighting scheme. Leaf positions do not show signs of light hunger, so no reason to change. Watered them with 1.5 l each on their 27th morning, this time adding some flower fertilisers too. Compensated their relief with some more LST. I can see in timelapse video they are tmelselves compensating this stress easily; it’s amazing to see how fast they turn their heads. You’ll see soon too. For reference: Pot diameter is approx. 25 cm. So lady #1 spreads about this much, lady #2 is even about 10 cm more. Guess they’ll make a very dense scrog surface, but first let’s have them have their stretch. Day 28 evening revealed ladies are getting thirstier. The holey pots might be helpful in root development, but they are not when it comes to keeping the tent clean. Because of their structure, water runs out in respectable quantities each time they are fed, which takes a long time to evaporate and adds to air humidity of course. Which on the other hand is currently quite ok. Outside air temperatures are around 30 °C the last days, so a bit more humidity helps to keep the VPD in range. Which is quite ok as I still cannot complain about their growth – around 2–3 cm each day currently. Grow video for day 28 (sorry about the interferences! Due to the control hard- & software being offline I cannot silence the blower(s) when a photo is taken anymore) shows steady growth and very vivid movements again. Dropping of their leaves around their evening is possibly due to me watering them again as soil was surprisingly dry already. On their day 29 evening, it’s clear to see how much they are stretching: They really gained 5 cm since yesterday! Lights are close to 30 cm, so I think I’ll reposition things a bit when their next week starts. Attached video shows the day’s progress. They say you cannot scrog an Automatic but seeing the development speed and bushiness I decided to give it a try nonetheless. I guess the buds can profit from being a bit more apart from each other if I handle to fiddle them through the holes in time. I rearranged the lights to be at about 45 cm apart from the tops and set the lights to 100% at a 16/8 lighting scheme, waking them up one hour later than before and sending them to sleep one hour earlier. Last day of this week, day 30, shows that growth speed has even increased. Lady 1 crosses the scrog net already which is positioned at 46 cm above soil. Gave them slightly enhanced water again, 2 l each.

Week 3 = The Clown Show. I definitely transplanted too early into 14l pots. I also should have only started two seeds because this tiny tent is crowded now. I kinda freaked out when I saw what looked like nutrient deficiencies (calcium, potassium, I don't know) AND nutrient burn? I was so damn confused. I also realized not ph'ing was a dumb idea and quickly went out and bought a ph meter. I assumed since the tap water here is drinkable and not chlorinated, it's fine. But turns out it all comes from underground aquifers that are made of bedrock and every mineral that increases ph. I'm using lemon juice as my ph-down now and have figured that out pretty well. 1ml of it gets the water down to 6.0-6.3. Anyway, I spent the weekend in YouTube University trying to figure out what mistakes I made. More experienced growers, please feel free to comment with tips. Just don't be an asshole.

Have fliped the switch to 11/13, as suggested by Dj Short, the blueberry strain creator. I’m experimenting a bit with light schedules, in veg I have used 6/2 x3 , so the lighting was divided in equal periodes of 6 light 2 dark, that provided a more stable climat, girls responded well. The ignitor to try that was a few articles that suggested the plantas have a limited amonth of light that can be processed and that helps absorb and process more since they have fragmented rest periods. I’m wanting to experiment with some deep red diodes, IR and UVA diodes. I have taken some clones of this mistery strain that is growing great, and the veg tent will be their home for two months Until I harvest the girls. The HLG leds are working great, and was very fun to build, I’m not sponsored by this guys, by the way, but the outcome is just amazing by what I has used to... My next DIY project is a Aeroponics cloner machine!

Devo dire che queste FF mi hanno sorpreso, la Purple Lemonade di Fast Buds si Ăš rivelata un ottima genetica con una crescita rapida ed una resistenza allo stress elevata, il super soil di Dogma Organics mi ha veramente aiutato questa volta e sono stato ricambiato con dei boccioli dal profumo eccezionale e che cercherĂČ di curare nel migliore dei modi!!! Penso che pianterĂČ ancora molto presto queste Fast Flowering e preleverĂČ qualche altro clone!!!

10 Wochen sind rum und die Fat Banana hĂ€ngt jetzt zum Trocknen, ich rechne damit, sie in 5-6 Tagen ins Glas schneiden zu können. Bin schon sehr gespannt, wie viel ich rausbekommen habe, es riecht jedenfalls sehr fruchtig, wie nach Multivitamin Bonbons, mal sehen ob sie nach dem Trocknen auch noch so riecht. Fat Banana Auto von RQS gehört zu meinem ersten Tagebuch, das ich auf Growdiaries gestartet habe. Leider wird das komplette Tagebuch nicht angezeigt, in dem ich Fat Banana, Cookies Gelato und Green Gelato zeige, warum auch immer, selbst der Support konnte mir nicht helfen đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™‚ïž Naja deswegen dachte ich mir, ich lasse euch teilhaben an dem Tagebuch und habe die Bilder von vor 2 Jahren aus dem alten Tagebuch hochgeladen. Sie war wirklich sehr angenehm zu Rauchen und ich werde sie wohl bald mal wieder machen 😊

Petite taille effectuĂ©, j’ai coupĂ© l’apex et j’ai laisser seulement le noeud juste en dessous de celui qui Ă©tais le plus dĂ©veloppĂ©, pour vois si les deux repousse de l’apex et celle du noeud en dessous arrive Ă  la mĂȘme taille/croissance , afin d’ĂȘtre le plus symĂ©trique possible. Car avant tous je suis passionnĂ© par l’art vĂ©gĂ©tal et le bonsaĂŻ, j’ai commencĂ© Ă  cultiver du cannabis il y a maintenant 3ans, un Ă©tĂ© j’ai plantĂ© une petite graines dans un bĂȘte terreaux vide de nutriments, et lĂ  tout a commencĂ©. Mais comme dis prĂ©cĂ©demment j’aimais l’art, et ce plant en question je l’ai transformĂ© en bonsaĂŻ, un magnifique bonsaĂŻ, un chef d’Ɠuvre, au quel j’ai perdu toutes photos. L’annĂ©e d’aprĂšs j’ai recommencĂ© le mĂȘme scĂ©nario, une graine et on recommence, la se fut un Ă©chec, plant trop gourmand et trop sensible au stress, il m’a lĂąchĂ© Ă  3/4semaine de floraison, puis maintenant 1ans que je cultive en intĂ©rieur a rechercher une bonne recette de living soil, toujours Ă  la recherche de perfection jusqu’à couper avant mĂȘme la fin de floraison car j’étais pas satisfait du rĂ©sultat. (C’est pour ça aussi que j’ai supprimĂ© tous mes journaux) J’ai coupĂ© deux cultures comme ça et j’ai fais qu’une rĂ©coltes sur la troisiĂšme. Maintenant celle qui m’excite le plus est la petite graine d’extĂ©rieur, oui comme on dit jamais deux sans trois, plus de 1ans que j’attends cette variĂ©tĂ©, la Frosty purple freak. Le mutant violet de chez Khalifa Genetic. Que je vais bien Ă©videmment travailler comme un bonsaĂŻ, mais symĂ©trique , je vais Ă©viter de trop le stresser comme j’ai eu du retard sur la croissance du a certain imprĂ©vu de type limace et temps catastrophique. (2 graines bien plantĂ© dans mon derriĂšre.) je vais essayer de bien le diriger tous en essayant d’avoir une certaine rĂ©colte, en faire un bonsaĂŻ crĂ©e d’énormes stress au plant et ralenti considĂ©rablement la croissance, pour essayer de rĂ©colter 50/100 grammes sur le plant en extĂ©rieur faudrais approcher les 3/4 mois de vĂ©gĂ©tation si tu implique des haut stress training et de la coupe a gogo. Et j’avoue que j’ai pas payer plus de 50litre de living soil juste pour 15/20 grammes de rĂ©coltes sur le plant, mĂȘme si la satisfaction d’avoir fait une Ɠuvre d’art, ça ne vaut pas le coup, je ferais mieux l’annĂ©e prochaines, je dois accepter cette dĂ©faite. J’ai mis des vidĂ©o de mon deuxiĂšme bonsaĂŻ, il Ă©tais en dĂ©but de floraison et il avait environ 4mois, sans nutriments ,je lui estimais 30/50 grammes en fin de Flo, mais il m’a lĂącher. Dans les deux derniĂšres vidĂ©o, il y en a une oĂč on voit bien le dĂ©pĂŽt bactĂ©rien et nutritifs du thĂ© de compost oxygĂ©nĂ©. Recette du thĂ© pour la semaine 15litre d’eau de pluie 30 gr guano guali 15 gr Meal wormcastings 15 gr nettle 7 gr spirulina 7 gr Hydrosolat Kelp 225 gr wormcastings 15 gr hydrolysĂąt de poisson 15 gr Comfrey 10 gr levure saccharomyces cerevisiae souches lycc 6420 60 gr Zeolit of chabasit 15 gr Azomite 45 ml de mĂ©lasse 15ml d’acide Humic et fluvic J’ai arroser 6 litre pour la purple freak et le reste a d’autre plantes Et un autre arrosage avec 500ml d’eau neutre avec 1gr bacilllus amyloliquefaciens x5 qui a Ă©tĂ© effectuĂ© le lendemain du thĂ© La culture se passe bien, du cĂŽtĂ© de la purple freak Aucun problĂšme Ă  dĂ©plorer, plant trĂšs rĂ©sistant, au changement de tempĂ©rature et condition climatique supporte trĂšs bien les orages et les temps pluvieux et chaud, pas de signe de maladie, j’ai actuellement des ravageur depuis le dĂ©but de la culture, pas un signe de problĂšme. RĂ©agit trĂšs bien au coupe, j’en suis plus que ravie, elle fait partis de mon top1. Seul truc qui m’inquiĂšte, c’est ce mauvais temps. Un mĂ©lange de chaleur et de pluie, qui a amenĂ© de l’oidium sur certaine de mes plantes extĂ©rieur, j’ai peur que cela se propage sur la purple freak. Je vais devoir traiter tous cas, sans traitement agressif bien sĂ»r.

Diese Woche bekommen die Kleinen erstmals Plagron Power Roots. An Tag 3 dieser Woche sind sie 7,5, 7 und 5cm hoch. Die Kleinste wurde etwas tiefer eingepflanzt, wĂ€chst aber auch etwas kompakter als die anderen. Weiß nicht ob es daran liegt. In dieser Woche wird umgetopft und das erste Topping durchgefĂŒhrt. Es bleibt nur eine Pflanze im Zelt. Die AuserwĂ€hlte kommt direkt in den finalen Topf. An Tag 7 wurden die Pflanzen getoppt. Der Plan war erst eine Pflanze auf 60x60 zu growen, DemnĂ€chst werden die 3 aber in ein 80x80 Zelt umziehen.

Hi ho ihr growmies gibt nicht viel zu berichten da die damen keinen platzt mehr in ihren 1L Töpfen hatten und die Stiele und der stamm schon tief rot/lila waren bei allen 4 Pflanzen habe ich mich dazu entschieden die Damen schon jetzt In die end Töpfe zu setzten da das wurzel System eindeutig schon zu groß war fĂŒr die Ladys dazu aber nĂ€chste Woche mehr.... Habe die Damen diese Woche getoppt und von unten her ausrasiert sie reagierten gut darauf und habe auch die t Form schon bilden können dabei sind mir die Achsen die am stamm an liegen leicht ein gerissen zum glĂŒck haben die Damen genug zeit das ganze zu verarbeiten und die Achse dick zu machen (wenn ihr rein zoomt bei den Bildern könnt ihr das auch sehen) sonnst war nix diese woche cu und bis nĂ€chste woche

I have build a new lamp holder. Doesn't look reliable, but still strong enough to keep the lamp above the plant. I didn't want to change nutrients ration before I'd a real flowering, but she thinks different, at 4th day I found some sick leaves. Wasn't really sure why was that, I bet for lack of K, so I increased bloom and grow nutrients. And the next day I also decided to add bacterias. Also, since she wasn't growing fast, I bought vitamins (B52) to help her. I could've done it earlier, I just didn't have it at home :D Now, when she entering flowering, she becomes much less flexible and more fragile. So I don't really stretch her anymore, just sorting up some top leaves, so the buds would get more light. Also I continue doing defoliation as before. Idk, what to think, cause I was sure, I'd see some real buds this week, but I didn't. She's switching really slow, and didn't grow as much as I expected. I switched light time from 22/2 to 20/4. Previous time was experimental for me, and now I'm afraid that it might be a problem for slow growing, we'll see how it goes now. But, perhaps, slow growth is consequence of tops, that I've done and now she just needs more time and I shouldn't worry that much. Anyway, she still looks mostly healthy for me. What do you think?

My temps were lower than usually cause I shut off red spectrum for pics,and been off for a week so reds back to 100% this week. Little budlets forming nicely. Starting to smell. Sorry only one pic this week can't seem to get pics uploaded,hope I figure it out for next week.Thank for stopping by. 1/30/2019 Ps. Finally got some pics to upload. 2/01/2019 The stretching begins👊 #1 definitely not stretching as much as #2 Number 2 looks like the keeper so far but we will see at the end !🙏

4/15/25 This plant is blowing my freaking mind. Long stacked colas. Even the lower buds are plumping up like golf balls. This is an exceptional plant so far. Shes starting to show the classic "sherbert" purple that ive noticed shows up with anything that has sunset sherbert in the lineage. Some of the leaves are starting to fade slightly and the purple is coming in. The rs11 that this seed came from, produced the most from a single plant out of all plants ive grown and trained and kept that small. She yielded 3.5 ounces or a 1/4lb of top nugs from a plant that was only about 18 inches tall and vegged for 6 weeks before flip. Once i start to clear out all of the fan leaves later on in flower, its just going to be buds running the length of the stems 4/18/25 I really believe this may be a keeper. She is absolutely stunning. Just everything is perfect. She has super long stacking of buds up and down the stems. Im actually super stoked to see how she finishes up. One of the craziest parts is that shes in a plastic 2 or 3 gallon pot and this plant is going to yield insane.

5.23 F60 5.27 F65 - Everything has been going well this week. The plants went through a feed cycle that should carry them through flower no problemo. Started with the AACT Tea, then a bokashi drench with Fish Shit from Fishheadfarms and plain water from here on out. They are drinking quite a bit. 1.5-2 gallons a plant every 3ish days. The terps in my tents smell out of this world. The ScrOG and 3x3 are like a candy store. Passion Berry has mango/guava citrus terps while Deadstar v2 has strawberry watermelon terps. The 4x5 is much more varied, but in general the sweet pink dominates with it's grape candy terps and the dread bread cuts through with it stanky gassy lemon while the prayer pupil smells like moth balls and a bit of GMO. Very lucky to get to experience this much variety. 5.29 F67

The gorilla szittles from Barneys seeds, started out, growing very well, and did not stop. I had no problems throughout the entire grow. It has yielded over 4 pounds of marijuana. All of the bulbs are very very dense sticky, and have a great aroma of fruity grapefruit

Hbss is 27in tall ABxRKO is 38.5in tall I'm starting to run out of height because of the ABxRKO as it finally flowers. Still slight nute issues with the HBSS, but nothing too tough to handle for now. The smells the HBSS give off are absolutely crazy. Just letting them grow, and watering every day seems to work. Will upgrade to earth boxes for this tent since a little autonomy is nice
