9/22/2024 Added 80W LED lights below the canopy. Tilted the other 200W fixture to point into the canopy. Relocated circulation fans to keep air moving through the bush! Great flower development is continuing. The stretch is almost complete, but it is still stretching. Super cropping may be right around the corner. With one bucket removed from the system, the new system volume is right around 7-8 gallons. 9/23/2024 Forced to do a water change after a massive spike in PPM up to 2400. Cycled the system with about 5 gallons of pH water and pumped off about 4 gallons. Replaced 3 gallons containing appropriate nutrient concentration to get PPM back to 800 -900 range. Increased lights to 85%. Super cropped some of the lanky main stems that were growing right at the lights. Light directly over the plant is pretty much maxed out on height at this point. Looking to increase intensity by the end of this week to 90% and then to 100% by the end of week 5. Continuing to defoliate larger fan leaves a few per day. 9/24/2024 Plant is looking incredibly healthy even after the water issues. Some trichomes starting to develop on sugar leaves and flowers. There are tons of flower sights, I am excited to see how they continue to develop!!! 9/25/2024 Moved the light up to its last hanging position. There are only a few more inches of adjustment left. Trying to avoid late supercropping if I can. 9/26/2024 Pruning large fan leaves and fan leaf overgrowth. Looking to leave a lot of the smaller leaves for sugar trim collection if possible. Humidity is not an issue yet, but working to maintain 50-60% is getting close to maxing out my setup. Continuing with light defoliation will hopefully help in managing humidity. 9/27/2024 Have been adding pH-adjusted water as well as reduced nutrient concentration to keep PPM 800-900. Prioritizing bloom nutrients and keeping small amounts of micro and grow in the mix, diamond nectar at around 4mL/gallon.

- Day 45 Time to water again. I used 2.2 liters of water @ 6.4ph containing silica force, calmag, bio-grow, bio-bloom, top-max, alg-a-mic, acti-vera & bio-heaven. Not much to report otherwise. I am mainly just trying to keep the top of that main branch in check and growing horizontally. Day 47 I raised the light a bit down to 44cm high, wanted to increase PPFD a bit, she is getting ~810 PPFD at the top now. Those buds are getting a lot thicker already than my previous grow at this stage. Day 48 Watering day used 2.2 liters again @ 6.4ph, containing bio-grow, bio-bloom, top-max, alg-a-mic & bio-heaven. Day 49 The buds are really starting to fatten up now, and it's smelling great 😊. Day 51 Watered again today she is drinking A LOT right now. Gave her 2.3L @ 6.4 ph, containing bio-grow, bio-bloom, top-max, bio-heaven, alg-a-mic & acti-vera.

The plants finally seem like they're picking up steam, with more noticeable growth every day. We're really surprised by the variation between Plant #3 and the others. All plants have been receiving the same light levels and watering but Plant #3 is super leggy! The space between 2 nodes is almost as much as the entire height of Plant #2. Day 22 - light levels have been slowly increased throughout week 3. We're now averaging 27k LUX across the canopy. - More LST on Plants #1 and #3, started some very minor LST on Plant #2. - We plan to do another magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) foliar feed, although we think that our last foliar feed did have some positive effect and the yellowing of the leaves has improved some. - These girls are also finally starting to become thirsty and i expect that we'll be increasing our watering frequency this week. - We've noticed that these plants tend to respond better to daytime temps between 78-83F. Under 78F and they seem to look and grow rather sluggish. We wonder if that has to do with the fact that LED lights do not provide any UV, therefore, in order to maintain optimal leaf surface temperature, the air temp perhaps needs to be slightly higher than if using CMH or HPS bulbs. It's just a theory but regardless of the science, we're aiming for 80-82F during veg. - We trimmed the lowest set of branch shoots off of Plant #2. It is so compact in there... 6 nodes in less than 2 inches of growth! The branches are all tiny so we're going to experiment a little and focus the growth on the main stem, leaving a few of the more robust looking branches. Day 23 - Watered with dechlorinated, aerated tap water, with approximately 1ml/gal of GHE's "CALiMAGic". pH adjusted to 6.5 - Continued LST on plants #1 & #3. We got a little too carried away with Plant #1 and ended up ever so slightly breaking the main stem! Luckily, it was just a small "gash" and we're confident it'll heal up quickly (see "Day 23" photo above). - As part of our LST treatment, we do leaf tucking as well, which seems to be having a positive effect on the development of some of those branches that are covered by the larger fan leaves. - Day 23 really was a day of mishaps... our air conditioner timer did not turn on again and for about 6 hrs the temperature inside the tent reached 87F. - Our HLG Elite 360 light fixture is now running at approximately 40-45% intensity, at about 32" above the canopy. Combined with the Sunblaster strip lights, we're getting approximately 28-30,000 LUX across the canopy. - I expect that we'll start seeing some pre-flowers/pistils within this next week, at which time we'll be looking at swapping the three 6400K Sunblasters with two 2700K Sunblasters, to supplement our main light. - Lastly, we did another magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) foliar feed at lights-out. We went a bit stronger than anticipated, with a 700ppm solution of dechlorinated, aerated tap water and approximately 1 teaspoon of epsom salts per gallon. We were aiming for about 400ppm, so hopefully 700 isn't too high! pH adjusted to 6.6 and applied with a fine mist spray bottle. Day 24 - Started LST on Plant #2, tied down main top, some leaf tucking. - Temp: 73-82F - RH: 45-60% - Lowered HLG Elite 360 light fixture by 1-2 inches, to approximately 30 inches above canopy. - Lowered the center Sunblaster LED strip by 1-2 inches. - LUX: 27-30,000+ - Our "light meter" app maxes out at 30,000 LUX, so we're unable to read anything above that... A proper light meter is on our wishlist! 👌 Day 25 - LST on Plant #2 - Lowered Elite 360 fixture to 28" above canopy. Increased intensity to approx. 50%. - LUX estimated at 29-32,000 across canopy. Day 26 - Plant #2 showing some light/heat stress. - Raised Elite 360 fixture up 2-3 inches. - Aiming for slightly lower temperatures of 78-80F, instead of 80-82F Day 27 - Watered with a 315ppm nutrient solution. Watered to approximately 10% runoff. Day 28 - Defoliation of a few fan leaves and small branches from Plant #1 & #2. - Plant #2 really seems to have some dwarf genetics showing up or something... very small branches and leaves... looking under-developed. We're a bit concerned that she won't have what it takes to put on weight. - Temperatures have been swinging a bit further than we'd like, reaching down to 73F during lights off and occasionally getting up to 84F during lights on. Most of the time the temp sits between 79-80F. - Pistils are definitely showing on Plants # 1 & #2, with Plant #3 the furthest behind in pre-flower (but also the largest plant!). - Week 4 to week 5 is typically where we've run into nutrient deficiency and excess issues, so we're really hoping this coming week goes smoothly.

So I am halfway through my first harvest and I'm starting to feel like I may have been impatient! Would appreciate any advice or constructive criticism from any experienced growers out there! Do you think I harvest the rest of my plant now or leave it a while? Any tips/hints on the best way to maximize bud density? Thanks in advance

Slowly cruising and getting closer to the end, they all reacted very well to the feeding and look rejuvenated. Had some aphids on the GDP but I caught them early and sprayed them with some homemade soapy water with essential oils mixture,so it shouldn't be a problem moving forward plus I spotted some natural allies (ladybugs) The Runtz has the biggest buds and looks like it will finish first The G13 has the best and strongest smell

18 plants, 5 strains. Each plant has 3 main buds. By means of LST I tried to make them all the same height. Because the plants have now stopped growing, leading is no longer necessary. The plants are still attached to the plant sticks with tie strips to support the buds when they get heavy later on. Lots and large leaves, and therefore a weekly large defoliation every week. The trichomes begin to appear. I have 3 phenotypes out of 5 Mango Crunches. 2 plants have pronounced sativa genetics. 2 plants are rather hybrid. 1 plant is mostly indica. All buds have a pleasant fruity smell. MC # 1 - 76cm - small plant, mostly indica, dense buds with many trichomes MC # 2 - 115cm - just the opposite of # 1 sativa type, very large plant with few leaves and very thin buds, curious how this plant will develop further MC # 3 - 106cm - just like # 2 sativa phenotype MC # 6 - 90cm - beautiful plant, few leaves with many beautiful thick white flowers. Hybrid type. MC # 7 - 92cm - also a beautiful plant, hybrid type like # 6 but with a slightly lesser bud production

This run went a lot better than expected. There were lots of problems while in a rush to get the new grow going. But once everything was dialed in, everything started booming! The next run should even put this one to shame with the much healthier plants in the veg room.

Welcome: thanks for dropping by. Be sure to drop a like so I know u dropped by and I can then check out your grows. Or not, I'll leave that down to you but either way good luck with your grows, stay safe. 28/4/22 Have started these on the voodoo/La Calvera. These versions are from the ppl who hold the pattens and make a lot of ANs formulas. They have just improved upon most of the AN line up but they kept these the same. As they are tried and tested. You can check these out on led-grower.eu/terra-power/ and read up on them for yourself. Going to be running this one differently. As I can only use Terra Power Nutrients that match what AN products I have to make it fair, as it's a comparison grow I won't be using the 50 billion microbes per 1ml enzyme and a few other things. Have to make it as fair as I can. Everything will be the same, (only thing that will be different is the feed charts and how some of terra Power Nutrients can be applied as a foiler spray, I'm going to be following AN/TP grow charts to the letter to make it as fair as possible with decent results). Pot size, transplant/feed/light time Will all be the same. Hopefully soon you'll be able to click on them and look em up when they join GD in the next wk or so. As soon as both plants start to show leafs I will then apply nutrients in a very small dose. Like .5ml/l to start off with and of course I'll use the same amount of nutrients ml/ml. Hopefully the PPM won't go too high in TP as if it is I'll have to use less TP to match the PPM or get it close but if its not off by too much that it won't hurt the plant I'll be running with it. Maybe I'll add the nutrients solo when they start to feed. Both plants have been given 100ml of voodoo/La Calavera 300ppm 6ph 20c temp. 100ml and will apply again in 2 days. And when leafs start to show I'll start them on a weekly base nutrient feed but for waters in between I'll most likely be adding enzymes and root stims on every feed as they have very little EC and won't cause nutrient/tip burn. This is 1 of 6 so far that has been planted. 50% of the strains I have doubled up on, for this 1 though there'll be dif ph/ppm and that which I will add here. Advanced nutrients grow: everything I did above was repeated. PPM was 280 PH was 5.7 temp was 20c. When leafs show I will apply base nutes. I've laid a damp towel down around the pots on the ground to try and bring the RH up to 70+. (Don't fully wet the towel as it won't dry fast enough to make an impact on RH.) 30/4/22 Veg started on both ladies. VD1, both look very nice and just 38hrs in the ground they are both up. When I checked last night they weren't up but I had a feeling some would pop while I was sleeping, so I decided to turn on the grow light. I know it doesn't need to be on until they are up and showing the 2lil fan leafs but hey, 65% it is set at and 45cm away. RH is holding at 67% wet towel is just about dry will be wetting it again. Will also give both girls a feed after they come out of their rest period. As they are all so new I have turned the light on a 7/7 meaning every hrs it comes on and off. Will hold off on nutrients until I see both plants holding out hands. Will introduce some enzymes later today also. 1ml/L of Piranha and tarantula for both of them with voodoo. Both nutrient brands are the same, it's the same formula. Decided to make up the mix. Each custom terra P nutrient has a corresponding Adv Nutrient underneath. I'm going exactly of each of their grow charts and using as guide lines. Adv Nutrients says to use Tarantula&Piranha in weeks 1-2 of grow but terra Powers versions say to use these on weeks 3-4 So that's why I'm going to do. Ive used ml/ml in each nutrient. Adv Nutrients PH was 6.4ph and the EC was .94 TERRA POWERS nutrients were more stable and more potent PH 6.0 EC 1.19. So it looks like the PH balanced nutrients aren't controlled by the amount of ml you use as when you use 2ml/L of both grow A+B of adv nutrients the PH is in the range of 6.2. Water used was 6.7 our tap water has gone up must be because we coming into summer and the ppm jumped up from 78 to 105ppm. I use a charcoal filter for all my water doesn't change PH but lowers PPM from 78 to 105. I'll be using this 1L mix throughout it's 1st wk on every feed. As it's such a low dose I have no concern about salt build up. When I up the ml/L I'll use 1L of mix feed of each nutrient. So if the dose is 1ml/L they'll get that total amount in 1 week and as they get bigger and will be able to take 1l at a time they'll only be getting 1 feed of nutrients and water/enzyme feeds and root stims with no EC/SALT. 2/5/22 Both plants doing well. Fed again today. 100ml both plants their own nutrient mix. Both held the same EC but AN PH went up to 6.6 from 6.4 (still fine, and reasonable for a 3 day old mix) and terra power no change. 4/5/22 Made new mixes for both plants adjusted AN PH to 6, the same as Terra Power. (Needs no PH-+ ).. to make it as fair as I can, I've added a biobizz calmag agent to both mixes. 2ml/L was added to all 8mixes. 400ppm 2ml/L PH was 6.4 had to use PH - To bring it to 5.8. Didn't have any affected on the PH of terra power or the adjusted AN. I am guessing I only need a PH - now is cause I'm using so little of the PH perfect solution which is normally 6 but when mixed normally AN holds 6.2-3...Terra Power holds on 6 on everything so far. 6-7 nutrients all 6 PH. La Sirena is sooooo potent. Decided to add La Calavera aka voodoo juice. So, since I don't have a lux/ppfd meter. I use this to know exactly where it's most powerful. It really helped. As I had 4 plants is 12000 where I had space where the light was hitting 18500, I know the strength is off, but it gives me a guide as to where to place my plants it is going to help so much. 6/5/22 So, it's begun. I've created a negative pressure environment, 1st time, let's see if it makes an impact. On wk 3 onwards I'll be running the intake extraction for 5mins every 30mins and I'll have 2 co2 bags up. If the RH becomes a problem or temp I'll put the extraction/intake back on 100% of the time. The extraction fan/intake is set at a ratio of 2 to 1. (100% extraction 50% intake) making a negative pressure environment, best way to show you have done this, the walls in your tent should bow in lightly. In the beginning of flower in going to seal my 150x150 and I'll add 2 co2 bags into it and seal it up with the dehuimifier set at 45% 12/12 and it'll be superhot and I'll then put the photos into a negative pressure environment that'll be 8-10c lower and will have 45-50% RH, hopefully this will bring any terps out, the autos will get a 6hr rest in a negative pressure environment also this will bring the temp down by 8-10c and giving me a sudden drop in temp, let's see what happens. Same Day. Decided to brace AdvNutrient plant so she grows up right, she started to bend, had bout a 30degree bend. Simply braced her with a clamp to a stick a few cm away from the tap root with stem inbetween, should keep the ADVNUTE plant up right. Terra Power plant growing straight and healthy, she was only started on the root stim yday and no enzymes yet and she's not too far behind. I can see TP take the lead in the late veg-pre flower stage. Idk. But there's 2 major nutrients ADV plant is getting was 3 all week and then I added La Calavera (ANs voodoo juice) last night. Going to be running another AN/TP grow this time I'm not only going to match Nute for nute but the same time and ML/ML will be given also. Check out CBD CA for results. This will be the last update for this week. Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime

The pics are a day old and allot has changed since then.. theres allot more yellowing (fading of leaves).. and the trichomes just look big and swollen.. you can see the kinda mushroom like shape easily.. the smell has gotten really nice.. starting to get that really dank pink smell. I cant find my 420 scope.. but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know she's almost there.. I will chop her down on friday. And start drying it out.

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der dritten Woche entwickelt sich die Peach Frosting im Vergleich zu den anderen Pflanzen etwas langsamer und ist in etwa gleich auf mit der GG#4. Auch bei ihr warte ich definitiv mit dem topping, evtl. Bis sie in das Große Zelt umgezogen sind und individueller auf die unterschiedlichen Wachstumsbedingungen der Pflanzen einzugehen. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind weiterhin optimal: ————— 🌞 Temp: 24°C bis 26°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 68% VPD: 0,7 kPa👍 ————— Grüne Grüße 🥦
