OK guys I'm back after being away for 2 weeks. I've proceeded to a final transplantation into a 9L AirPot container, right before I left for vacations. I also added a canopy-ring in order to open up the plant and start some LST without adjusting strings everyday. A friend was in charge of the grow room while I was away, and she did a pretty good job. The AK420 is healthy, she is the smallest plant in the room but her shape and color are amazing. Short inter-nodes. She has 8 main summits and all her apexes are about the same height. She will remain under vegetative stage for 1~2 weeks before flipping into 12/12 light schedule. I can't wait to see her full of buds! Thanks for stopping by 👊

Holy jungle infestation batman!!! The buds haven't blown up in size like the other tent but they have grow expandability, well all but the front left one lol truly the runt of the tent there. I lowered the PPM of both the Co2 and feed this week because the plants looked a little worse for wear compared to my other tent. The 2 on the right are just over 5ft when you include the pot and trey. If this was my other tent I'd be screwed for space by now. Luckily this is a 4x4x7 tent so ive got some more room to spare. Even tho that one plant is small its still got a nice amount of bud growing on it. Be interesting to see what kind of yeld I get from the little guy when it's done compared to the other 3. I'm hoping the buds on the plants might fatten up a bit over the next week. Plant size... Brain cake #1 - 50" Brain cake #2 - 50" Brain cake #3 - 45.5" Brain cake #4 - 31.75 Well that's all for now, can't wait to see what the next week brings. Happy growing everyone!!!

Didn't really give these 2 the attention they needed this week and they dried up a tiny little bit. Also they stretched quite a bit compared to the non auto ones. Time to start with some LST, right at the limit as the core is quite thick already, but still bendy enough. First pistils have started to come out.

Greetings, fellow cultivators and guardians of the green realm! It's time to unravel the verdant tapestry in this Week 2 Flower Report for our reigning queen, Jealousy, in the Power Buds competition. The air in the grow room is humming with the promise of flourishing buds, and the journey through the flowering phase has been nothing short of sublime. As Week 2 of flowering unfolded, I found myself marveling at the sheer perfection of Jealousy's progress. She's become the embodiment of botanical grace, with buds forming and branches reaching for the heavens. It's like witnessing a botanical ballet where every move is executed with precision and elegance. Now, in the pursuit of perfection, a decision was made to embark on a defoliation expedition. The goal? To channel Jealousy's energy into the areas that truly matter, ensuring that each bud site receives the spotlight it deserves. This meticulous pruning is like sculpting a masterpiece, with each leaf strategically removed to unveil the hidden beauty beneath. And why stop at perfection when we can plan for the future? As an insurance policy for the green kingdom, a few extra cuts were taken. It's like stashing away green treasures, ready to sprout new life if the need arises. These clones are not just cuttings; they are the potential guardians of our botanical legacy. Jealousy, our green empress, took the defoliation with a regal poise. She's a resilient beauty, adapting to the changes with the composure of a true queen. The grow room is now a stage, and Jealousy is the star, radiating with the promise of a bountiful harvest. As we navigate the second week of flowering, let's extend our heartfelt gratitude to Zamnesia and Plagron, the unsung heroes of our green odyssey. Their contributions are the foundation upon which our botanical dreams are built. A standing ovation to the Grow Diaries community – your shared experiences and collective wisdom create a vibrant tapestry of knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your buds blossom abundantly, and may the fragrance of success linger in the air. Here's to a week of defoliation finesse, green elegance, and the anticipation of a harvest fit for royalty. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of .

Hey Guys its End of week 3 from the day these girls were placed in a jar, hoping they are females :) Plant #1 is looking great, started slow but picked up quickly 1st time of transplanting, it was a success, I was nervous. 1st week of nutrients, I tried to feed 1/3 to start Looking forward in training and topping my plants in week 4. Hopefully ill be able to detect there genders. Will read more info on cloning and will try to grow the same strains outdoors, off Course thats if they are girlas :) Stay tuned guys and thanks for all the support!

Got 2305 into her final home in a 3 gallon pot, I used grow dots at 1 table per gallon of medium and made the bottom 3rd of the soil a little hot with fresh ocean Forrest soil, and purple cow non manure compost.. and moved her to my new ac infinity 3x3 tent!

Day 57, very happy so far, plants are just taking everything they get, a very easy strain to grow. Added Bud Explosion this week as flower has kicked in, really looking forward to the next month as temps drop in my part of the world. Thinking of letting temps be a little cooler in grow area as they seem to enjoy it. Thanks to those who comment I enjoy hearing from other fellow growers, learning new things and becoming better at growing this magnificent plant. Happy growing ✌️

The mold thing is really sad. We had a super wet and humid summer so I added a fan to my setup. I let the branch with the seeds live to let them finish up. Total Runtime: 86 days ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials. Variable costs: -Seeds: 3,17€ -Soil: 6€ -Fertilizer: 3,50€ -Power: 22,06€ -Total variable costs: 34,73€ -Total costs per grow: 37,90€

I experienced a 7.7 magnitude earthquake, and both electricity and internet were cut off, so my posts are delayed. We are still continuing with humanitarian relief efforts, and I am helping myself. Casualties and building damage have occurred in almost the entire city. With much sadness, I present the photos of this week

The harvest was simple and an absolute pleasure. I did a wet trim and thought later maybe i should have did a dry trim? Please share your opinions.

Ich hab ein paar Änderungen am setze gemacht, der hintere Lüfter bläst 2x für 15 min pro Stunde kalte frische Luft von draußen. Außerdem habe ich den Spider Farmer 6l Luftbefeuchter, zwei oszillierende Ventilatoren von Mars hydro und ein Standventilator hinzugefügt. Diese Woche hab ich nach düngeplan gedüngt ein mal.

Already week 7, and it’s starting with much better air humidity which makes it easier for me to stay in the recommended VPD range – currently 54% at 25 °C at canopy height. With 58, 67, 78 and 80 cm plants’ average height is about 71 cm. Odour has increased, and sometimes, but only shortly, I get the feeling the coal before the blowers cannot eliminate all of it. While the smell was a bit strange sometimes one and a half week ago, it’s now absolutely yummy, sweet and promising. As is all the sticky stuff adhering to my folding rule when I measure their size. I am a bit confused about the amount of yellowing leaves. That would indicate a nutrition deficit. On the other hand, last feeding (yesterday it was only calmagged water) brought some brown edges to their tips as I wrote. Which could indicate a slight over-nutrition. I am not *that* worried as leaves around the buds all look great (except for mentioned, but not youngest tips), and mature plants obviously tend to concentrate on bud production solely. But week 7 is quite early, or isn’t it? Any recommendations? Maybe I should go with organic fertiliser next time to avoid being stuck between two options ;) As they had run dry already, I gave each one another round of drink. Slightly less fertilised than last week. And I removed the lowest yellow branches and tiny buds that would not make it into the light in time. The Pineapples must have some mimosa genes crossed in. Each time I touch them they bow away their heads in deep dislike. The taller one looks like her head would be too heavy now … It is not, and usually they recover after an hour or so. The Sherbets are pretty unimpressed by all I do. Meanwhile I’ve been working on the Raspberry Pi BoxControl that should help me stay in better VPD ranges in the future. I am not sure how to translate this all into a more stable solution than based on a breadboard, but the state so far (and how it is supposed to work): Raspi runs headless with control software on autostart. Every minute temperature and humidity are received from a GY-21 I2C chip that should be hanging around plant tops. Data is saved in a database, VPD is calculated and signalled in form of a RGB LED color. Additionally, LCD display rotates through current stats. 3 relay modules can en- or disable misting, dehydration or an additional blower. Maybe I can add a CO2 sensor just for the fun of it (but I’d have to develop a device protocol myself), maybe even one or two soil moisture sensors. Theoretically you could also have a lighting control, but then, GPIO ports are all used. The display needs a lot of them, and while I can log onto the Raspi on my local network and view its desktop, I’d prefer to have a quick overview at place. I am not really informed about current models. Are some GPIO extensions or Raspis with extended GPIOs on the market? But so far, that’s all theory. I never had a PCB developed for my hobbyist projects, I am not the best with a solder station. Never had a Raspi run 24/7 for a really long time. Did a bit more lollipop ping in the evening. Especially tallest Shepard had fun building some more very low buds and branches. I think it can investigate its powers better on different places. Day 51: It’s getting hard to measure soil humidity with my low tech device. Soil must be full with roots and I don’t want to hurt them much. I can see them at the outlets of their pots too, sometimes a bit dry of course as these parts run dry earliest. Experiments to include the CO2 sensor in my test setup failed. I can read and reset it, but setting measurement mode and reading values don’t work. Maybe because my I2C library cannot use ClockStretchLimit. Running out of GPIO ports anyway and seeing that the soil sensors are analogue devices, I’ll probably revive my Uno too and have discovered some clever Raspi heads that should make a more stable setup (and some cooling) possible while also adding a handful of PWM ports and an integrated display. I’d like to include a camera module too and it would be great to have some ports available. A final setup would obviously include a Raspi 4 or 5 to easily enable secure online access. But so far, all working nicely in test setup. Day 54: Sometimes I wonder if they’re still growing at all, but then it’s good to have the daily pictures to compare bud width which now seems to be the main interest of the ladies, although differences are now clearer to tell between two day intervals. The taller ones look like they are one week ahead of the smaller plants, with even higher fan leaves turning pale now. Which at an estimated seed–harvest time of 8–11 weeks for both strains should be pretty common, I guess. Or am I wrong? Summerly temperatures make the temperatures at canopy level sometimes reach 31 °C, but at least the simple ultrasonic diffusers arrived and I am getting closer to a better environment control. I can at least switch the diffuser inside the tent remotely from my phone, and a deep bowl of water with a lid so the "fountain" produced will not wet the tent floor and one of the fans placed at the bottom now to lift its mist upwards seems to do the trick. Humidity increases while temperature drops, getting the plants into a better VPD level, so all I have to do is wait for the evil A to deliver the necessary Raspi components to have this automated, maybe still while this grow runs. At the end of this week, there was just a bit of height gain for the two smaller ladies who now approach their next 10 cm mark. Overall, I get the feeling it won’t be that long until harvest. Maybe with the taller ones a week earlier than the others. There’s really not that much bud growth anymore, rather refinements – like buds getting more nodes and color. I’ll investigate the trichomes every few days but would welcome your estimation.
