..... Rückblick der letzten zwei Wochen –Turbulenter Start und wichtige Lektionen Die letzten zwei Wochen waren alles andere als ein Spaziergang, aber meine Pflanzen haben sich tapfer geschlagen, und ich habe eine Menge dabei gelernt. Der Start war holprig, hauptsächlich wegen einer defekten Luftpumpe, meiner langen Arbeitszeiten und der notwendigen Grundreinigung der Anlage. Die erste Woche: Der Kampf ums Überleben und die große Reinigung Die erste Woche war echt kritisch. Ich war viel in der Arbeit, und genau da ist meine Luftpumpe ausgefallen. Diese Pumpe ist eigentlich dafür da, meine Nährlösung mit Sauerstoff zu versorgen – lebenswichtig für die Wurzeln! Ohne sie bestand die Gefahr von Wurzelfäule. Die Pflanzen sahen gestresst aus, ein paar Blätter waren welk oder leicht gelblich. Das war ein klarer Hinweis auf den Sauerstoffmangel. Aufgrund dieser Probleme und um sicherzustellen, dass keine weiteren Komplikationen auftreten, habe ich die gesamte Bewässerungsanlage grundgereinigt. Das war zwar zeitaufwendig, aber absolut notwendig, um alte Nährstoffreste oder Ablagerungen zu entfernen, die die Funktion beeinträchtigen könnten. Das hat mir gezeigt, wie wichtig es ist, die Technik immer im Blick zu haben und regelmäßig zu warten. Dazu kam, dass ich durch die Arbeit kaum Zeit hatte, die Beleuchtung optimal einzustellen. Das hat anfangs auch zu etwas ungleichmäßigem Wachstum geführt. Die zweite Woche: Erholung und Stabilisierung – mit Klimaanlage! In der zweiten Woche konnte ich endlich eingreifen. Nachdem die Luftpumpe repariert und die Lichtverhältnisse angepasst waren, haben sich die Pflanzen sichtbar erholt. Das Wachstum nahm wieder Fahrt auf, und die Blätter wurden wieder kräftig grün. Es war eine Erleichterung zu sehen, wie widerstandsfähig sie sind! Aufgrund der aktuellen Hitze verwende ich jetzt zusätzlich eine Klimaanlage. Damit halte ich die Raumtemperatur konstant bei etwa 27 Grad Celsius, was für die Pflanzen im Moment optimal ist. Das hilft enorm, ein stabiles Klima zu gewährleisten und Stress durch hohe Temperaturen zu vermeiden. Ich habe gelernt, dass man auch bei Zeitdruck die wichtigsten Kontrollen nicht vernachlässigen darf und schnell auf Probleme reagieren muss. Die gründliche Reinigung war hier ein entscheidender Schritt. Trotz des holprigen Starts bin ich optimistisch für die Zukunft. Die Pflanzen haben sich trotz der Widrigkeiten gut erholt und entwickeln sich jetzt stabil. Die anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten haben mich definitiv aufmerksamer und proaktiver gemacht.

No complaints.. Only hard part about growing 4 different strains in one tent is finding that sweet spot with temp and humidity to keep them all perky lookin and happy. I find on water days bring it down to 45% humidity and dryer days I bring it up to 58%, seems to keep all them happy and up. Temp steady 88 day and 70’s at night they love it. Fim’ed the 3 twice and the little gelato just once. Gonna switch to flower in one more week. No crazy nutrients schedules just Mantis every other day and 15ml Holganix once every two weeks. As far as light this BlackDog just keepin them low and bushy. I moved it up quite a bit to maybe let them grow up a little more cause they aren’t begging for any, I want them too at least a little. Insanely awesome light for small grow areas you have to control height.

I'm not sure why, but I don't like the way she's growing :( I supposed that my plant problem is the over watering. So no I inserted an air pipe directly in the rockwool cube to give more oxygen to the roots and let they get more nutrients. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Lesson Learned: IN THE NEXT SET UP ADD A STONE WITH AIR PUMP DIRECTLY IN THE BASKET 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I will leave the pipe all night and see how the plant will look tomorrow. Cross fingers.

Looking good Id say about 3 weeks left Booming!! This plant is blowing up!!! 5 foot tall exactly

Well here we are, only a week or two from finishing and this girl's has been a champ! Nothing happening this week aside from watching the buds finish swelling and colours coming in on the leaves. Smell is overwhelming stank, with a sweet undertone just filling the room (and the one above!) when I open the tent. Starting to notice water consumption is down to 2L or less per day which is not a lot for a plant this size, that combined with the colours and the leaves starting to dry and curl makes me believe that there's maybe 7-10 days to go. Not going to rush her, but will start checking trichomes daily to try and nail the perfect harvest window. The last week or two always feel the longest!

Its finally harvest day.

My Purple Kush is still the little guy of the group. It's so small, I don't think it's even started flowering yet, but that's alright! It'll have plenty of time to mature and do its thing. I'm guessing it'll probably be ready for harvest a couple of weeks after the others. I'm excited to see how this one turns out – Purple Kush is known for its beautiful colors and relaxing effects, so I've got high hopes! This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

Starting to mature and swell. Colors coming through and smells pickin up

The third week of vegetation of my Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 Nutrients: I use Advanced Hydroponics Of Holland nutrients - three basic components, still according to the table for vegetative growth 💓 - - Dutch Formula 1 Grow - supplies the plant with substances necessary for the perfect development of roots, stem and leaves; intended for the growth phase 🌾 - Dutch Formula 2 Bloom - contains a large amount of nutrients necessary for rapid growth and fruit development, supplies the plant with energy; intended for the flowering phase 🌸🌿 - Dutch Formula 3 Micro - increases oxygen intake, improves plant immunity, ensures better absorption of nutrients; intended for the growth and flowering phase 🌴 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plagron Power Roots - Root stimulator Plagron Roots is a biological root stimulator that supports the formation of the root system. I use it until the fifth week of growth 🍃🍃 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Calmag - The special Calmag supplement was designed for professional and hobby growers who need to provide their plants with calcium and magnesium in organic quality for a long time or immediately. The 100% organic 💩💩 and certified BioBizz Calmag product is made from calcium carbonate and magnesium sulfate supplemented with humic acid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Bio pH- is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which occurs naturally in citrus fruits 🍋🍋 General: Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 - This week I gave the girl her first training and she is slowly starting to form strong branches on the sides 😊 She is less leafy than her sister and also has longer internodes 🍃🌿 She is now in a period of rapid growth. It will be a tall plant, I expect🍃💚 Training: I regularly do LST and light defoliation for the girls during this period. Then I tie the branches to the edges of the pot with string so that the light shines on all the branches and the main stem💚🌞🌞 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50cm between the light and the plants, so I regularly move it up 💡💡💡 Thanks for the likes :) See you soon 😍😍

Buds are gettin bigger and bigger. Super dense Main Buds.

Start of week 5... Looking back at the first few weeks of veg, i never imagined that they would thrive this good in week 5 already! (Look back at week 1+2 for horror pictures) Whole of week 4 i worked on my climate control automation. I will keep the set up for atleast a week. 👽👉26/9 Big LST day. I got new supplies to manage the rest of the ladies properly. Topped another one ( 5/6 is topped) Cut just a couple of leaves. The crusty ones that did not receive light and the ones casting shadows over my lovely budsights. 👽👉27/9 Waterday* and recovery 2ml/L Bio heaven + fish mix / 6.4 PH 1.68 ECLetting them recover Humidity a bit higher during night because of watering, turned the temp up to match the VPD. 👽👉28/9 They look content, humidity a bit higher during night because of watering. 👽👉29/9 I am happy how you thrive, but they need some pruning/defoliation as soon as they have recovered from the stress training. 👽👉30/9 Did some defoliation, decided to flip to flower after their recovery. 👽👉1/10 They had a case of empty humidifier, resulting in high vpd for 7hours. Water day* 2.1xml/L Bio heaven + fish mix / 6.2 PH 1.75 EC 👽👉2/10 They look great, healthy and happy! Climate is back on point

This girl is lookin great. She's speeding toward the finish with some of her pistils already ambering up. Smells wonderful.

Wasn’t sure on keeping this but I’ve talked myself into keeping it

germination: Came out strong in 2 days transplanted to 1 gallon first week

Noticed thst the temperature inside the tent was not dropping as expected. Especially after the colder night temperature ive been seeing. Also the upper canopy has fox tailed. I was on vacation for 2 weeks before noticing this. So hopefully there csn be some recovery on the denseness of the nugs.

Week 3 flowering some flowering quicker then others which is expected as its about 15 different fire strains I have had to show my diaries in 3 parts this is my inhouse gentics I am so glad to finally get my hands on these , I'm pheno hunting a massive summer run with some fire gentics. I have inhouse 2x platinum gushers 2x terples 1x dolato s1 1x slurmint All from seed so hopefully I find a nice pheno I also have seedsman 2x strawberry banana grape which are both the biggest in tent 2 x peyote gorrilla 2 x wedding cake limited editions . Smells aboustley fire already 🔥 I have zamiensa seeds 3x larry bird kush one of the phenos are smelling like nothing I have smelt before Barneys farm 3x phantom OG which was clones from my last run Phoenix seeds X5 super kush clones from my last run Also I have grew 2 super silver haze OG which I got as freebies from seedsman they smell beautiful 😍

One of the plants is experiencing some issues. Growth is slower. Some of the leaves are showing signs of light burn. Decided to name them Cheek and Chong, with the little one being Cheech. The 1st attempt I names Harold and Kumar. Maybe they died from a shortage of White Castles. 😕

WEEK 8 These banana purple are looking 🔥🔥 2 plants now starting to show that amazing purple colour 1 more is also coming along with some hints. I will be buzzing if they all go purple lol. Had some issues with PH last week so they have had fresh nutes and adjusted PH to 6.5 now. It was on 7.5 because of uncalibrated pen. Sticking to the advanced nutrient feeding chart for autoflowers atm I may do a week flush yet just to get rid of any excess buildup and start again on bloom and boosters. A couple of these are behind by a couple of weeks I think. I took off a few more leaves that were barely getting and light and a few nodes at the bottom. Just to keep that airflow going between stems and the top. The Rest are powering through it! So no more defoilation on the late ones💪 Buzzing with results so far! Update next week 👊
