First week of flower is in the books. I posted my feeding schedule in the pics above. If you find yourself looking at it wondering why you're seeing back to back feeds with mycos or teas its because with organics you never want to let your pots dry out. You obviously dont want to waterlog the pots but you need to find that balance with watering so as to keep your ecosystem happy and active. It's not a feed/water/water system where you're watering every other day as you do with salt based bottled nutrients. Always remember you're feeding the microboes/fungi/bactria and they are feeding your plants. If you dry your pots out with organics those elements become dormant and or die off which will lead to deficiencies and a weakened immune system. The week was going smoothly until last night. The timer for whatever reason didnt kill the lights after 12 hrs had past so they got a little over an hr of extra light. To help maintain consistency with the plants I just altered on/off times to make sure they still recieved 12 hrs of darkness. So I was running 6pm-6am now with the overage last night I'm running 730pm-730am. I have heard some horror stories about how something like this has affected people's plants but they are few and far between. I'm not overly worried about it as a plant thats growing outdoors never gets a true 12/12 lighting period. I caught it early, adjusted my lighting schedule to accommodate a 12 hr off period, and being so early in the flowering stage I should be ok. Obviously it goes without saying but this is taboo and not something you want to be making a habit of with photoperiod plants. My dehumidifier also decided to do it's own thing last night and didn't shut off as per the settings (set to 45%) and as a result it pulled my humidty down to 39% down from the 45%-47% that the room usually runs at. As a result my temps rose into the 28-29 Celsius range overnight up from the 25-26 Celcius (my preferred flowering temps) that the room usually sees. So she was quite the party downstairs while I was sleeping. To my surprise when I turned the lights on the plants looked very happy and healthy and immediately started praying to the sun gods. I got lucky here with respect to what I was speaking about above with watering practices and organics. As I keep my pots in the sweet spot with daily waterings this didnt negatively affect the plants. I've prepped and am bubbling a compost tea (posted a video) which will be fed tomorrow. I also through some organic popcorn seeds and organic mung bean seeds in the seed sprouter (pic posted above) to make a popcorn/mung bean SST for the plants that's loaded with all kinds of enzymes and goodness. It's also pretty sweet to be able to say you feed your plants popcorn. Like I mean really though 😁. I'll talk a little more about SSTs next week but if your curious about it there are many websites about this topic, homesteadandchill.com would be a great place to start. They lightly touch on topic without diving to deep into the science behind it so it's easy reading to help introduce you.

2024-11-27 to 2024-12-02 The first time I grew Chernobyl, the plant was dense and unruly with thick, lush vegetation. In fact, the plant took up so much room in my tent that I have it to a friend to finish outdoor. It showed signs of bud rot early in the flowering period and luckily, most of it was saved from itself. In addition, the stems of this strain are more hollow and brittle, gaining thickness quickly and making Low Stress Training a difficult task that requires patience when working the branches around the LST clips. I have broken many branches on a Chernobyl plant even when applying care and caution. It requires getting the plant to the shape and size you need early, so that silica can be added to strengthen the branches in prep for those killer nugs. They are taking about .5 gallons of feed every other day.

Apart from the blistering heat and 44km/h winds daily id say she's comin along nicely.loving the high ppms and sunlight however the sun has been very hot these past few weeks of summer so there are signs of heat stress as well.

12/26/2022: gave both plants 1 liter of water with ThermX-70 and some mosquito bit tea again. Have I mentioned how much I hate fungas gnats. I've been so happy with my switch to organics, except for these damn gnats. This should be the final week. Plants are fading hard, and tricomes are starting to amber. 12/28/2022: watered about 1 liter each with ThermX-70 and some mosquito bit and neem cake tea. Also threw some mosquito bits and neem cake directly into the soil to see if that helps at all. 12/30/2022: not much new to report. Watered again, 1 liter for each plant with ThermX-70. Both plants continue to swell and ripen. Between 5% to 10% amber. Was originally planning to chop at the end of this week, but I'm thinking I may give them one more week. We'll see how they look in a couple days. 1/1/2023: moistened the top soil with some plain ph'ed water.

What more can I say it's Day 50 the plant is coming along beautifully I was worried at first as it looked like it might have been having some growth issues but my fears were dispelled. She's starting to change colours but still has tons of white hair so I asked the maid at least another three weeks till harvest I could be mistaken I will keep testing the plant to see how the trichomes are developing hey hey Day 51 and i took a small clipping to put under the microscope and she is getting nice and cloudy with some amber, nex time im getting and black base so both you and i can see better Day 52 and I'm starting to see more Amber trichomes. I'm doing the best I can to get his clothes a picture of the actual bud as I can with my phone seeing as I don't have a laptop to bring my microscope into the grow room Day 53 so i took a clipping from one of the buds at the top and it has almost no amber tricombs go fig lol maybe i have a bit more after all. maybe i will hit that 70 day mark hello again its Day 56 and it's the last day of this week's cycle still on the wall about whether I should flush starting Saturday. Just about all trichomes are cloudy with my estimate being about 10% Amber. I could probably push it another week I'm just not sure I want 30 to 50% Amber trichomes. I hope you enjoy the photos I uploaded I decided to get some more up close and personal photos using my phone they're not quite as good as I microscope but the app I use does a pretty good job. Stay tuned for next week's update where we'll finally learn whether I flush or don't LOL

Tag 28 - Ende der 4. Woche. In dieser Woche an Tag 22 habe ich das Licht auf 12/12 umgestellt und es sind schon die ersten einzelnen Stigmen ersichtlich. Die Pflanze entwickelt sich sehr gut und hat den vegetativen Wachstum fast komplett eingestellt. In der kommenden Woche, werde ich den Dünger auf die Blüte umstellen und wahrscheinlich die Pflanze davor noch etwas entlauben. An Tag 22 wurde die Pflanze zum letzten Mal mit vegetativen Dünger gedüngt. Nährstofflösung: 2 ml/l - B-52 Advanced Nutrients. 3 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Grow Part A 3 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Grow Part B Davon hat die Pflanze 500ml an Tag 22 erhalten.

Woche 1 Flowering Once upon a time. Somewhere in the north. On Earth. A friend ment to start another Grow. But this time he wants it inside. For the first time. Ok, i asked for his budget! Well Budget it was! Good! I told him what i have found! He so! No tent! No tent? Really? I asked. No, just a bigger Lamp!, he answered. Well i did my best and spoke and spoke with him, no tent! Than he asked if i can germinate it for him! No problem. I asked is your grow room ready.? Ahh, he answered, no problems this goes quick. I said, they born. Is ready? No problem bring it to me than its ready. I brought him, he wasnt ready.. 5 xxxking weeks later i bought a cheap led grow light with Samsung LM281B diodes .) not bad. Made room in a cabinet and this is how where we re. 5 weeks old in normal sun(no sun, cloudy it was) grown. Übersetzen

Hi everyone ! 😀 Everything is ok, no disease, no carrency. but 2 ladies don't want to stretch a lot :/ ( the 2 on the corner, bottom left and Top right ) i don't know why. maybe it's the variety. i have 4 Skunk XL and 2 Critical. Maybe these 2 are the critical ( yes i lost them when i plant the seed 😩 ... ) No more pH fluctuation ( i love that ) EC is around 1.9/2.0 and increase to 2.1/2.2 when they drink a lot so i add water with 1.7 ec to decrease it to 1.9/2.0 again I added 30L of water since i changed the water ( 2 tanks * 20L / i change it the 11/05/18 ) so i'm gonna change the whole solution during the week. See you next week !

Blue Dream extreme is doing well. Still has a high amount of nitrogen in her system. I did a solution change yesterday and lowered my ppm to 200 range. She has been growing fast and strong even with the nitrogen level too high. I am growing her in a New Level hydro bucket. Using the SE5000 from spider farmer.

Fed only distilled water every 2-4 days as needed. Trimmed off the clovers n alfalfa. They wer getting in the way of my watering n it also helped reduce the humidity . I also put a layer of perlite underneath the pots to help reduce trap water n circulate air below the pots..they are done strething n are well into blooming. The super skunk in the bak right corner is beginning to show some atumn colors n it's a sign it's nearing harvest. It's the densed one. Clearly it'll be the 1st one done. The others still got a few more weeks to go. Hopefullythey'll be done b4 thanksgiving. I look foward to see how they turn out. .will update next week on their progress. .

April 10, day 21, the Euforia is starting to take off. Lots of branching that will need to be trained low and wide to fill up as much of the 6sqft space as possible. I turned on my second HLG 100 light to bring the lighting up to 200w. I did this to make sure as many of the new branches have light as possible, as some of the fan leaves have grown is very thick and the plant is quite stocky. I raised the distance of the lights as I don't want to overdo it with the second one running and the internodal spacing is already tight. I pushed up the EC slightly without any issue, so 1.4 is around where I will stay through veg. I also have allowed the PH to range lower as I am less concerned about cal mag issues at this point. Fertigations will continue to be 1x per day untill the roots spread more and the coco dries quicker. Then it will be up to 2x or 3x per day as needed. April 12, day 23, the Euforia is growing well, while remaining very tight and bushy. I did some minor LST tying two dominant side branches down to start opening up the plant, but will need a bit more height and growth before I can continue with more areas of the plant. April 13 day 24, lots of vigorous growth and the LST is working to expose more new growth to light for this very dense little plant. Increases fertigations back to twice daily, for 20 second watering intervals. The 26 seconds of watering was barely producing runoff now that the plant is larger, so this increased watering should help keep the coco well flushed even when the plant is significantly large. April 15, day 26, removed some leaves blocking nodes and lower growth that will never develop. I don't like removing leaves when I don't have to, but the plant is growing in thick enough there needs to be more room for growth around the center of the plant. Also performed some more LST and leaf tucking. April 16 day 27, LST widening the plant and opening up the center to new growth. Removed a few leaves as needed. The Euforia is growing well and I am hoping that by the end of the flowering stretch it will take up the majority of the tent. One topmost branch that was growing in thin after the FIM had to be removed while still fairly young. It's connection point seemed so thin it made the branch extremely fragile, and I decided I did not want the risk of it falling off after spending a lot of energy on bud production that could be spent elsewhere. When taken off I could confirm that it was around 1mm of the branch that was actually connected to the main stock, which just isn't enough. I will keep this in mind for the future in terms of FIMming vs topping. RIP lil' branchy.

The heat had me nervous this week but they made it out without a hitch. Didn't do much at all this week with these ladies just watered twice. Second watering added a little fish bone meal, molasses, aloe Vera, and algae to the water to fuel those microbes...
