The apparent potassium deficiency has got me worried about how to get some into the plants ASAP. Therefore, I have purchased some Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster, courtesy of Amazon Prime! Sadly, this seems to be of inorganic nature. However, I need to rectify the issue quickly, so this seemed the best option. Another possibility is light burn, as the plants have grown as tall as my tent! 6ft! So I have turned down the lighting to 60%. This seems quite likely as my FBP2 is considerably shorter than FBP1 and FBP3, and this plant does not have the same issues. The new dehumidifier has managed to get the RH down to around 49%. Considering it was up to 99% this week. I definitely am trying my best to avoid the dreaded bud rot! I added a large amount of Silica as the stems are decreasing in strength under the weight, so hopefully that will help. Additionally a Potassium deficiency itself can cause weaker stems, so I'm trying everything, (possibly overkill) to correct my oversights on this. All in all I've learnt many things from this 1st grow. Most importantly the necessity of LST, to prevent the plants from getting so tall, and that will avoid the light stress. The trichomes are still mostly clear through the jewellers loupe. From what I can tell as my eyesight isn't too good. It's difficult to tell milky from clear to me. 21.8.24; I just did a defoliation, I removed many more leaves today 🍃 things are getting super crowded in the 4x4, even with both tent doors open. I adjusted the plants, alternating so that each side of each plant gets correct lighting (as best I can manage)! I gave the plants each; *1ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water, of Ecothrive Flourish. **2ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster. ****2ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water, of Cal-Mag. My fan also broke, so I moved my lounge fan into the grow room. It's a lot more powerful, even on the lowest setting, so I tried to disperse it trying as best as possible. Thanks for reading my diary 🙂

The smoke is beautiful! and that is without cure. Flavours of fuel and citrus coming through, hopefully they come out after cure. Buds are solid but not that dense. But trichome covered buds to the point that it was very difficult to trim for more than 5 minutes without cleaning off my scissors. Recommend growing 4 or more of these to get a good amount on hand. very little popcorn buds. will update with weights and smoke after drying and short cure. She was a pleasure to grow! likes the calmag. so frosty and greasy! When it has been a day with high temperatures don't be afraid to feed twice! While packing on the weight she can be very thirsty. If fed well she will reward you with frosty hard nugs! Give this strain a try!

We’re pretty much back on track — except for that one plant. It’s still a bit fried, but it’s stacking some nice buds, so I’m not too worried. 😉 I’ve drastically increased the amount of fertiliser and have been using organic feed with every watering. Most of the leaves below the canopy are back to a strong green, with only minor signs of deficiency that aren’t spreading. Feeling pretty happy so far! Two of the three Purple Lemonades are packing huge donkey d****, pitching the tent* 🥁😅 Stats so far: 💧 Watering: 1.5L every other day 💦 Humidity: ~55% RH 🌡️ Temp (lights on): 22–26°C 🌡️ Temp (lights off): 20–22°C 📈 Avg. VPD (lights on): ~1.5 kPa

It was getting quite hot in the tent, however after adding a fan just in 2 minutes temperature dropped to 27. Also now i realize LST was too early, some of the small leaves are damaged, however plant overall looks very healthy and strong. Added supporting structure with bamboo sticks for LST and used softer material for it. Plant looks quite even for now.

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Flush time, within the end of this week is now flush time. To summary this week i just kept on my feeding habits, Water with base > Water with boosters, alternating Recharge. My led seams to be crashing a bit, the colors are not stable as is possible to see in the timelapse. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, with a slight amber. 9 weeks flowering time will be exact, just need time to flush, they are maturing fast fast, hairs are getting orange in a blink. ------SM.BB COMMENT------ The buds are very imponent and bulky, with a lot of resin, the smell is sweet and fruty with a bit of pine.

ENG- Finally I harvest the Somango! It is the plant that I have had the longest on the terrace to date, if we look back, I started with it 5 months ago and in the end they are taken care of ... ”From the beginning it grew very well, with the help of my friend @ Vilahaze and the techniques that I have learned in these years that I have been cultivating, I have gradually tamed it to achieve this definitive form of which I am very proud😋! I combined the Mainlining with a little LST to order the different branches so that they did not touch or shade each other, and more or less I succeeded. At the beginning of flowering, spots and burns began to appear on the leaves that were very worrying, and at the same time I noticed that the plant was not producing almost any resin, in the end, after leaving it without nutrients in a couple of waterings and watering A little with fish mix, the deficit was solved, which following the indications of Jorge Cervantes' book, seemed like Boro's deficit. In the end the resin appeared although not excessively, but it was compensated with large batons that, being not too tight, were more airy and did not rot as much as they could have done. My best harvest to date! 86 grams of peeled flower for which I am more than happy, and a good amount of sugar leaves with which I will make some kind of extract later. The taste of the cured herb is quite mild (I guess because of the lack of nutrients in the last phase of the crop), remember something fruity with strong touches of wood, nuts and some citrus. The paste is quite hybrid, pulling more like a relaxing, although not being very powerful gives you the ability to continue doing things PD: If you are interested in my photographic work you can follow me on my instagram account @ertaverd ESP- Por fin cosecho la Somango! Es la planta que más tiempo he tenido en la terraza hasta la fecha, si miramos atrás, empecé con ella hace 5 meses y al final se les coge cariño😅...Desde el principió creció muy bien, con la ayuda de mi amigo @Vilahaze y las técnicas que he aprendido en estos años que llevo cultivando, la he ido domando poco a poco para conseguir esta forma definitiva de la que estoy muy orgulloso😋! Combiné el Mainlining con un poco de LST para ordenar las diferentes ramas para que no se tocaran ni hiciesen sombra unas a las otras, y más o menos lo conseguí. Al inicio de la floración, empezaron a aparecer manchas y quemaduras en las hojas que eran muy preocupantes, y a la vez noté que la planta no estaba produciendo casi nada de resina, al final, después de dejarla sin nutrientes en un par de riegos y regar un poco con fish mix, se solucioné el déficit, que siguiendo las indicaciones del libro de Jorge Cervantes, parecía déficit de Boro. Al final la resina apareció aunque no de forma excesiva, pero se compensó con unas grandes porras que al no estar muy prietas, estaban más aireadas y no se pudrieron tanto como podrían haberlo hecho. Mi mejor cosecha hasta la fecha! 86 gramos de flor pelada por los que estoy más que contento, y una buena cantidad de hojas de azúcar con las que más adelante haré algún tipo de extracto. El sabor de la hierba curada es bastante suave (supongo que por la falta de nutrientes en la ultima fase del cultivo), recuerda algo afrutado con fuertes toques de madera, frutos secos y algo cítrico. El pegue es bastante híbrido, tirando más a indico relajante, aunque al no ser muy potente te da la capacidad de seguir haciendo cosas PD: Si os interesa mi trabajo fotográfico podéis seguirme en mi cuenta de instagram @ertaverd

I added the small cooler with water with some ice packs, now the water will be below 20° for a longer period (around 2 days with the same ice pack), I also added a couple of sensors with the Raspberry Pi to check the humidity, temperature, light intensity and water temperature sensor

(germination through first week of seedling 11/29-12/10) Days 1 to 7 Starting a new grow with two Royal Queen, Purple Queen Seeds (thank you Royal Queen for making this possible) I plan to be rough with these plants and top them both to 8 colas. This journal will be different than my last (alot less detail) but I will still look for new opportunities to learn something new that I can share. I also plan to take at least 5 pics per week with 1 video and 1 'pretty' cover pic per week, however I also plan to delete the excess details at the end of each week. I had these seeds for about 4 months now. They have been stored in the fridge inside a paper bag. I took the seeds out of the fridge and let the rest on the counter for two days before dropping them in water. After a seed inspection of which I noticed some unatural bumps on the shell of one, but no cracks or splits, I dropped them both in purified water for 19 hours. Since the shells still hadn't cracked, I then transferred both seeds to paper towels with the belly button side up and pressed them against the glas side to make the tap root grow straight down. These seeds took 2 days to show a crack in the shell from the time that I placed them into the paper towel - Once they cracked, I cut the middle of Rapid Rooter starter pods and placed the tap root down inside the pods. I then closed the pods with ends of toothpicks and placed them in an incubator until they showed a tap root growing out from the bottom of the pods. That took a total of 4 days from paper towel to transplant day (now called Day 1) where they were about 1 to 1.5 inches above the soil line after I planted them in 1 cup pots. Dynomyco Mycorrhizal Inoculant was already mixed into the ph balanced soil that had been growing Happy Frog mycorrhizae for about a month. I used 8.75ph purified water with the soil to create a soil with 6.3ph (this soil has been notorious for being extremely low on ph and by week 4 to 5 after second topping the first fan leaves show a calcium deficit.)

Hi Growmies, Here we are at week 11, and our botanical star continues to astound with her growth. The stretching phase has persisted throughout the week, each day adding a bit more to her stature. It's as if she's reaching for her personal best, and I'm here to cheer her on every step of the way. As the buds begin their own stretch along the colas, it's time to introduce Green Sensations into her diet. This should give her the extra boost she needs for this critical phase of development. Her thirst is growing, a sign of her expanding needs and vigorous metabolism. It's a balancing act to match her hydration requirements, but one that's deeply rewarding. I can't emphasize enough how smooth and stress-free this experience has been. There's a certain peace that comes with tending to a plant that asks so little yet gives so much. If the yield is anywhere near my usual harvests, I might seriously consider making a permanent switch to soil and the Plagron lineup. It's exciting to ponder the potential of a new cultivation method. This journey has been one of simplicity and satisfaction. The connection between grower and plant, the quiet anticipation of each new stage of growth – these are the moments that make it all worthwhile. As always, a reminder for my fellow plant lovers: use the code ZAMMIGD2023 at Zamnesia's online store to get a 20% discount. Sharing is caring, especially in our tight-knit community. Stay tuned for the next update. We're on this journey together, and I'm grateful for every step.

Not really much to report as I'm now just waiting to give her a good trim once the stretch is done... Moved around to get the ones under the 300 under the 6 and vice versa to level out the growth as the ones under the 600 are more rapid Shooting out pistills everywhere looki g absolutely fabulous lol... smell is to die for you just wanna smoke it right now!! Went up a bit on the feed as still not showing any signs of visable nute burn so were tryna push her without going over the edge looking really healthy and just about to give then a feed before these pics.. Really cant wait till shes done because what a treat she is keep an eye out for next weeks update when we do our flower period defoliation to get as much light to her budsites coz that's all we want! Peace ladies and gents thanks for the love on here and the instagram page it's much appreciated!

17.05. I don't have anything special to say, of course the weather is terrible... it's 6-7 at night, 15-16 during the day, so they're inside... the temperature inside is 20-21 during the day, at night from 15 to 17 when it's this cold... the plants were exactly 3 weeks old yesterday, today they entered the fourth week and most likely they will wait inside for the fifth week as well because the weather is terrible and there is no point in transplanting yet. Stay High!
