I had bad luck, or beter I didn’t keep the rain out of the structure. So unfortunately the lady’s did get wet! We had a lot of rain after a great summer. I think if I didn’t had rotten flowering 800 gram per plant was normal yield! It is a great plant verry easy to grow and a big yield! I like the seeds of high-Seeds! Its a great supplier! This year a couple of diverent lady’s! Whit a new growhouse.

All growth on track at the begging of the week so I defoliated the fan leaves and left the growth shoots. Everything took the haircut in stride and now is moving forward and on track for clones to be taken on schedule.The temperature is on the rise at times for a few hours. With the new humidifier installed the plants don't seem to stress with the increase.Plenty of good VEG growth this week. I have already inspected for healthy growth shoots for clones. A few more days and they will get a good trim.

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

I love the strain and my first autoflower did not disappoint. She grew surprisingly bushy, and she really got chunky near the end! Super happy with how she turned out. The extra couple weeks really made a difference and she smells like fruity pebbles. Delicious! Hanging for 5-7 days before stored for curing. Did final trim and storage for the buds, 50 gram dry weight total. They were more on the lighter side as far as density goes. But smell good and the high is great and was fun to grow! Was able to successfully breed her with a Durban Poison male and look forward to seeing the super sativa babies to come. All good things. Here is to the next round, cheers! 😎

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍. Website link here: https://www.mars-hydro.com/grow-tent/buy-mars-hydro-grow-tent-24x48x70-2-x-4-cabinet-closet-grow-box-upgraded-diamond-1680d-mylar-for-sale ViparSpectra 240w Quantum Board: This thing is sleek and slick in terms of design. Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

There’s a few things I’d personally change if I was to grow fat Banana again. But this time round she was very resistant to high temperatures and humidity during Flower. She holds on to nitrogen so I’d definitely feed her less on the nutrients as she is a light feeder.

Schönen Sonntag und 3. Advent euch =) ! 🌱 Wochenupdate Die Woche lief mal ohne Drama, zum Glück =D Ich habe kurz nach dem Stretch alle Maßnahmen eingeleitet, um das Canopy sauber zu formen. Die ersten sanften Klima-Anpassungen sind erfolgt, und wir bewegen uns auf die Blüte zu – aaaaw yeeeah =D Wie ich ja bereits erwähnt hatte, wollte ich nach dem Sonden-Fix erst einmal visuell beurteilen, wann der Stretch wirklich vorbei ist und wir final auf die Meshes sortieren 😊. Die Sonde läuft inzwischen wieder zuverlässig, aber zu diesem Zeitpunkt konnte ich mich darauf leider noch nicht voll verlassen … Ich habe also noch einen weiteren Tag trainiert und bei jeder Kontrolle darauf geachtet, wie weit sie über das Netz drüber sind und ob es sich dabei um echten Stretch oder nur um Rebound vom Runtertrainieren handelt =) Dienstag hatte ich dann deutliche Anzeichen, dass wir endlich durch sind 😄 Ab hier habe ich jeden potenziellen Trieb auf ein Mesh verteilt und die, die etwas zu weit waren oder noch gebogen ins Netz zurückgeholt 😁. Als das Canopy „locked“ war, habe ich ihnen erst mal ein wenig Ruhe gegönnt. Da ich nach 12 h kein Zeichen von Stagnation durch Stretch-Erholung und Umverteilung feststellen konnte, konnte ich es nicht lassen und habe das komplette Canopy defoliert =D Der Gedanke dahinter war einfach, so früh wie möglich viel Licht an die jungen Budsides zu bekommen 😄 Jedes Blatt, das Schatten geworfen hat oder keinen direkten Nutzen hatte, wurde entfernt =) Sie haben es mir direkt bei der nächsten Kontrolle gedankt 😁 Hier habe ich dann das erste Mal echt mit mir gehadert. Die Frage war, ob ich jetzt nach Lehrbuch fahre und ihnen ein paar Tage Ruhe gebe oder ob ich direkt weiter im Programm mache und die Under-Canopy-Defo hinterherschiebe. Es wäre schon ein Traum, direkt zu Beginn vom Aufbau einen guten Energiefluss zu haben =D Die Ladys standen absolut vital und haben förmlich dazu eingeladen … also habe ich natürlich direkt durchgezogen und direkt unter dem Netz defoliert =D Hier wurden alle Spaghetti-Triebe und alles, was nicht oben im Netz angekommen war oder kein echtes Potenzial hatte, entfernt. Alles, was geht, soll ohne Umwege in die Tops gehen. Und bitte kein Popcorn =D =D Anschließend habe ich noch die Luftzirkulation angepasst, damit unter dem Netz wieder ein schöner Luftstrom entsteht =) Man sieht sogar wieder, welche Pflanze welche ist =D ! Jetzt geht’s auf in die Blüte – bin gespannt, wie es weitergeht 😊 🌱 Pflanzenstatus & Training Alle machen sich gut =) Bei Notorious habe ich das Gefühl, sie stretcht deutlich buschiger als die anderen – sehr viele brauchbare Triebe, wirklich eine tolle Scrog-Plant 😁. Bei Purpz ist mein Eindruck, dass sie deutlich mehr versucht hat, nach oben zu kommen. Hier muss man wirklich hinterher sein, wenn man sie sauber scroggen möchte. Blueberry Cupcake – absoluter Performer 😄, damit habe ich aber auch schon gerechnet bei dem, was ich über die Genetik gelesen und gehört habe =) Zu guter Letzt das Sorgenkind Guzzlerz: Hier wird auf jeden Fall noch mal was kommen in Zukunft. Leider hatte ich massive Probleme mit der Keimrate. Die einzige, die aufgegangen ist, ist schon mit einem Keimblatt zu wenig ins Rennen gestartet und konnte einfach nicht so gut hinterherkommen. Trotzdem füllt sie eine kleine Ecke im Netz und sieht auch sonst im Vergleich top aus 😄 – nur eben kleiner. Da werde ich auf jeden Fall noch mal testen, wie ein guter Seed performt 😊 ⚙️ System Nach wie vor selbes Vorgehen mit Top-Ups =) Aktuell brauchen die Ladys deutlich mehr Wasser als Nährstoffe, weil nach der Defo und dem Canopy-Sorting der Wasserverbrauch durch die Auxin-Umverteilung und die erhöhte Transpiration deutlich ansteigt =) 1,1 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt EC der Lösung wurde auf 1,9 EC erhöht 1000 PPFD Vielen Dank mal wieder fürs Lesen und die Anteilnahme, nur liebe für euch =) Eine schöne Woche =)

shortest plant is 50cm tallest being 95cm. They are all doing wonderfully, most of autos are budding nicely and all of the photoperiods are ready to flower. looking very promising. i am changing my light schedule to 14-10 to kick these girls into flower.. this will give the plants an extra 17% (or so) a day under the lights.rather than 12-12. i cant be fussy as i only have one grow space but if my research is correct these should grow beautifully! the autos are well ahead so shouldnt affect my harvest weight too much. like i say i cant be fussy! thanks for looking

10/06/2021 Harvesting #2 and #1 to prevent more loss to mould. #3 will tackle in morning. #2 hardest hit. #1 not much #3 less. Mould Weight will be added later as I have lost my scale in moving. On to curing for 3-4 weeks and I will update the smoke report

Not a lot to update the seedlings have came up out the soil at this point they are still to small to tell any visible differences. I started all the seeds from all 10 packs and and I put 26 of them in soil I now have about 20 of them left I still have atleast one left if every strain. I just kept the 20 plants that all started off at the same time it’s so much easier when there is not some plants behind from the rip. In a few days I will pick out the best one from each of the 10 strains and toss the rest so sad there is a plant count here.

Week 8 Here came fall. End of last week plant seemed hungry, the fade wasn't progressing as supposed so I gave her two nutes round with only water round in between them. I used bottled feeding: biobizz biobloom + top max (2ml each per liter), ghe ripen (2ml per liter), solved micronutrients and calmag (not mixed, one time one the next the other, 1-0,5 ml per lt). Solution EC was about 1,4, starting with 0,3 tap water. She reacted well to the feeding in my opinion. now the fade is progressing more naturally. I did observe that the plant under the less powerful COBS in the same tent are doing better then the ones under the sp250 wich has a higher par output, so I raised the light to 45-50cm from canopy. This had a positive effect on the plants imho. I'll stay a little bit further from the beginning in my next grow. I took a sample under the microscope to take some tricho pictures, they look beautifully clouded but the buds still has to ripen some 50% more. Based on that I think we are arriving to an end in 10-15 days max. Happy bottanic guys
