Hello Diary, Purple Lemonade has reached the end of its third week, at the same time it has completed the vegetation phase and is entering the flowering phase. This week it grew an impressive 20 cm, it got a bunch of new leaves and now it's at the stage where it looks like a small bush. Purple lemonade has slowly started to form flowers. The leaves are a nice green color and look healthy. It is really developing very nicely, which makes me super happy. The summer heat is still present which affects the temperature in the grow box, this week the average was 29 degrees although sometimes the temperature rises to over 31 degrees. But I don't notice that it is harming them, I make sure to water them regularly, so that the soil does not remain too dry although that sometimes happens. Every week, as the plants grow, I increase the amount of water when watering. I continue to add Bio Grow Fertiliser and CalMg with each watering. pH I drop to 6.0 with Plagron's Lemon Kick. At the end of the week, more precisely after taking photos for day 21, I increased the power of the led lights to 80%. Here is a quick overview of the week: 10/08/2024 - Day 17. Watering. I prepared 8 liters of water, added Bio Grow Fertilizer and CalMg and with that amount I evenly watered all three plants on the farm. 13/08/2024 - Day 20. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as the three days before. 14/08/2024 - Day 21. Photographing and measuring the height of the plants. Official end of the vegetation phase. Purple Lemonade - Day 21. - 33 cm That's all from me for this week, thanks to everyone for the comments and see you soon.

Great to see you and I missed you, I had some time so I created a video to thank our lovely foster company, who were so kind to let us try their light in return for a review. Now, most of you don't know I'm also into making music, mostly Techno but I also love HipHop and Gangster rap, mainly 90's Westcoast, although I'm fond of East Coast and a little dirty South, so this was an excellent time to showcase one of my tracks. So please check my Autumn-themed, not commissioned, or approved by Mars Hydro, visualization video in thanks for @MarsHydroLED. The grow has been going great! If you don't count the about a thousand fungus gnats I have been fighting. I'm manually manifolding and training the girls, into the desired shape, which is a bit hands-on but I see it as a collaboration more than a 50 shades approach to training. You can't just bust out a rope and domination on girls like that. We ease it in there, going to the limit every time, making them stretch and curl underneath the touch of our tender but firm hands. And when they are used to a little groping and fixation, we might bring out a few ropes here and there to spice it up a little. Anywaaaays.... I'm getting carried away here, back to the grow. I had bought some coco-peat, after leaving none for the top layer as I suggested to all of you in the previous weeks of my grow (if you missed it, click one week back for a full recipe (the yellow image) for everyone in Europe) left me with enormous amounts of fungus gnats. Its seems to alleviate the problem already. As it did with my previous grow the Gelato 33 Golden Canopy from Heaven. In the meantime I notice my temperatures going down so Im trying to fix that too. All in all it had been a good week and this Orange Hill Special is promising to become something special! Thanks for visiting again, see you soon!

------GENERAL COMMENT------ This week was very flat and steady, girls are growing very well and leafs got sharper. They have got a new defoliation session, and a bit of supper cropping to make steams stronger. Nothing fancy, just training to an even or more even canopy. ------SM.BB COMMENT------ All good, growing very well and vigorously, accidentally snap off a hole stem supper-cropping, nothing to worry about, but was a pity...

In der vergangenen Woche der Abwesenheit ist die Pflanze fast eingegabgen. EC drain war nicht mehr Messbar. Mein EC Gerät gibt bei über 6 auf. Wohl totale Übersalzung. Fast alle Blattränder sind kaputt und viele Blätter komplett. Weiß nicht ob es nicht an den aqua flores liegt - evtl. für sowas nicht geeignet oder weil zuwenig drain vorhanden war. Hab jetzt mehrmals gespüllt mit ta flash clean und den ec drain auf 1 runtergebracht. Ab jetzt wieder Handbewässerung mit Aptus - da gabs solche Probleme nie. Vermerk - bei nochmaligen Düngerwechsel - ordentlich vorher spülen. Auf zur zur Rettung.

Super hype to try, lowest yielding strain in the tent. But had the best smells. Buds look fairly dense with a lovely dark deep purple color.

June 14th not a ton happened, I believe I watered them (It seems I am having to water every second day now as they start to get bigger) June 15th - still just growing away. I went out and got some different ducting so I could pull air from outside better with the ac infinity inline fan. I also received some insulated ducting from Amazon that is a hell of a lot better then the standard stuff I am using. I also grabbed a new 9 inch fan (still deciding the best place to place it, for now it is beside the door). I grabbed a larger oscillating fan aswell to keep air moving around. June 16th - decided I would do some lst and then I gave them some water. I have been feeding nutrients every second day. I have also on every 3rd watering been doing just ph’d water. The humidity seems to drop quite a bit within 10-20 seconds of the door being open hence the lower reading. I am sitting roughly at 45-55 depending on time of day. As for temperatures I’m still struggling to keep it down during the warm days and it seems the highest I am getting is around 29 since switching the lights off from 11am - 5pm June 17th - the girls seemed to have perked back up after yesterday’s lst. Not much new today just some growth! June 18th - Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures today. But not to much difference. I did feed the girls with some nutrient water today. June 19th - I again forgot to take pictures. They are just growing away and doing there thing. I did check for growth from the topped portion on the bigger plant, no growth from one of the 2 tops. So I indeed cut it to low… I won’t be doing that again haha. June 20th - finally grabbed something to deal with the heat since it is getting hotter everyday. I picked up a 10,000 btu air conditioner. I have it set at 23 degrees. I also moved the plants around and re-arranged some stuff. I took the inline fan that was taking air out and instead the ac output is going to there. I ended up having to make the vent into a 6inch vent on the trailer. Temps stay around 23 now. Humidity is still 45-55 depending on time of day.

Start of week 11, ladies are doing good and continuing to fatten up. Looks like #2 is pretty close to being done. Going to let her run through Wednesday, then check on her trichomes. If we got more amber I’ll begin the 3 day flush and chop her down on Saturday. If I feel she can go longer I won’t start the flush until Saturday/Sunday. Plants #1 and #3 still got another two weeks or so before they’re ready to chop. Day 72, I moved plants #1 and #2 to the front of the tent for easier access. They’ll be the first two done out of the 3 included in this journal. Also cleaned up some of the leaves on them to open up everything to light during these last 1-2 weeks. Still unsure if I’ll begin to flush #2 on Wednesday or wait till the weekend.. Day 74, checked trichomes and we still aren’t quite where we wanna be before I start to flush. I’m in DWC my flush is only about 3 days tops. We will check again start of next week and hopefully she ready. Day 76, checked on #2 she still not quite ready. I will probably let her run through Thursday next week, begin flush then chop on Sunday the 6th.

Se va terminando el mes de Marzo y ya se cosecharon las Double Cookies, con un riquisimo aroma pero por sobretodas las cosas con una resina muy pagajosa y abundante. Ya se van al secadero Las lebrones las mantenemos un poquito mas pero tambien estan explotadas. Tumbadas por el peso de los propios cogollos.

AH1 About 38 inches starting to slow down in height and really pack on the hairs. Starting to develop an earthy almost chocolate smell. AH2 35 inches tall. Starting to develop nugs all over and hairs are fattening up. Has more of a skunky earthy aroma.

The second weeks starts and the ladies are doing great, the Pineapple Express is a beast she is growing really well. The blue cheese and the white runtz are also doing okay, I would not compare them with the her though. They been really easy to take care of so far. Let’s see how this will go on the next days. 21.12.2025 The girls are doing really good 😊. Noticed the my tent sensors is 4 degrees of when it come to humidity. So I updated my humidity control automation to increase humidity a bit more. And moved the fan to the other side so the big girl get extra air flow and now she is dancing 😋

These Fastbudz Genetics have me kind of puzzled. Planted in Fox Farm Ocean Forest on Jan 3rd so today is day 18 and they seem to be growing slower than any others plants Ive grown. Just got a new Marshydro tent and its very well made. I love it but my humidity level has been hard to control. I have humidifiers going on the inside and still cant get my levels up to around 60% or higher. It wont seem to get above 42% and It use to be an easy 66%. I have not fed them yet besides giving them a little rooting supplement. I will be using some of the best line of Nutrients on the market with Humboldt Countys Own! Its hard to find a ph balanced and consistent nutrient line. They have some of the top products u will ever use so check them out! They are under a marshydro Eco 600 At 18 inches. Love everything about Marshydro. There lights and quality of products are astonishing. Love em. Of course i have “The Enhancer” bottle by TNB Naturals hanging around. If u have not tried the TNB Naturals The Enhancer Bottle then you definitely want to look them up. Cant go wrong with an always fresh, organic, and refillable CO2 enhancer!
