Second week of flower done, the kids have shot up, pretty much doubled in size so far, plants well into stretch mode, nice top feed of Bat shit and Dr organics secret sauce! Lovely shades of green amongst the canopy, same again, no training or defoliation, and that’s hopefully the way it stops throughout the grow, untill next time

Following The Grow Boss tips on YouTube "...yield is based on light, quality is based on growers talent" "...number one problem is, too much light, too much water, too many nutrients" Nutrients : (after having issues with nut burns, I decided to use Grow Boss's perfect ppm calculator) Invasion T (Glomus intraradices BEG72 and TRICHODERMA atrovide MUCL45632) 1g / plant Monster X mycorhizes (500 000 propaguls / Kg , made in vitro) 2g / 20cl then complete to make 1l Humic Fulvic Booster (humic and fulvic acids) 1ml / 1l Cannazym 2.5ml / 1l Rhizoponics 0.4ml/1l Lights: 2 x Adjust-A-Wings Avenger 600w HPS Lumatek 90000 Lumens 1000PAR 600w HPS Philips Son-t Green Power 95000 Lumens Soil:Platinium Royal Mix premium quality What is vapor pressure deficit? Often, marijuana growers who have their plants in indoor grow tents or rooms with artificial lighting, take into account parameters such as temperature and relative humidity to maximize plants growth and bloom, thus obtaining abundant harvest with top quality flowers. As we will see later, these factors affect different processes of the plant, such as transpiration or nutrient uptake. However, we usually forget about another important factor that is related to the aforementioned ones: vapor pressure deficit or VPD. Broadly speaking, VPD is the difference between the amount of water vapor that the atmosphere is able to retain (which depends on temperature) and the amount of water vapor contained in it (relative humidity). It is usually measured in kilopascals (kPa). Providing our plants with a correct relationship between temperature and relative moisture will keep us on the right VPD parameters, increasing the plant’s activity and thus improving its growth and showing its full potential during the flowering phase. The ideal would be to adjust both parameters (temperature and humidity) to get the best possible VPD value, so that the development of plants will be amazing.In the chart above you can see the right temperature and moisture values to maximize the development of cannabis plants. The green zone shows you optimal values of VPD, in which it would be ideal to maintain the environment. The orange zone shows correct values, in which plants should not have problems to develop normally. However, red areas show values in which your plants will be very far from hit their full potential, since the relation between temperature and moisture is not optimal. With relatively high values of VPD (between 5 and 12) plants tend to open their stomata and release a considerable amount of water vapor into the environment (increasing their transpiration). This increase in transpiration results in an increase in the plant’s photosynthetic activity, which will need more nutrients and will improve its overall growth, both during growth and bloom. The best range is between 7.5 and 10.5, which we have marked in green. However, we must be careful that VPD is not too high (dark red zone) since the plant would close its stomata to avoid releasing too much water vapor to the environment, which would result in fast dehydration due to excessive transpiration. On the other hand, if VPD is too low (light red zone), the plant will also close its stomata for not releasing more water into the atmosphere, which in this case would be already saturated (it would have reached the maximum water retention capacity in a specific temperature). In this way, reducing transpiration will also reduce photosynthesis, which has a direct impact on the plant’s development and yield. That way, VPD is essential when it comes to offer the best conditions for the development of plants, also to understand its water requirements according to the nutrients used and thus adjust them correctly to meet the grower’s expectations.

ok guys so these are the last pics of her before harvest. after i took off the LST she just fell all over due to the weight of the buds and i use silica so these are some HEAVY buds! ok guys so for the smoke report sh seems to be a pretty balanced stone to her, im guessing 60/40-ish hybrid that i can smoke mid day and not get too tired from yet i do get relaxed toward the 2nd half of the high. i currently have another one growing now!

Still going well. Decided to use 3ml/l pk 13/14 and I thing I saw a difference. They showed sex(female) after three days 12/12 and lots of stretch. At least 6" in a week.

So it's the start of week 3 , to say the plants had a very randomised environment up until this point , and 2 plants are in 1 pot ...... all 3 aks are looking good . Soo I'm going to keep them in the room , can just make friends with my new strains I want to put in there .... sure they will get along

GENERAL COMMENT. So guys this week ran ok, i’m trying to pay attention to some details, like water temp, as the weather is cold here. The LED had a problem in one vent, so i repaired it, is nicely built inside but all the wires are tight and locked with this plastic lockers, so to have room to work you have to first take some of them out, impossible to find the vent attach, so i cutter the wire and made a connection for the new vent, avoiding to hunt the cable source and a nightmare of taking everything apart… A bit of pressure because i couldn’t screw up and loose the LED, to buy a new one would take up to 60 days… EC is at 3.1, .1 higher than i should be, pushing them a bit, can see a tip yellowing and a super slight tip burn, so my interpretation is that i have to reduce the nutes dosage a bit. Runoff is at 5.8-5.9, watering at 6.2-6.3 pin pointing at that range, no deficiencies are showing at the time. 2.5l every 1-2 days, when water only, i give 5l each to manage salt build up on the medium then it takes longer to dry out. Cal mag supp once a week, with water only, 2ml/l. They will be off this week to manage the progression of overfert. 
STRESS KILLER AUTOMATIC COMMENT. 
 She became a real bush, and is in full flower, around 53cm now, super dense, and light penetration is hard, keeping on the leaves tucking and going natural yet, no defoliation, pruning or lollipop-ping. She is a joy to grow and smells very citrus, smell is not pungent though, also comparing to my last grow… My hole house was smelling like ganja at the time, lol! Less flower spots than the NL but still lets see how dense they will get.

Been doing a lot of Super Cropping over this last week. Think it slowed the growth down but allows me to really shape the plant the way I want. Gave them some tea yesterday. With fish bone meal, kelp meal, and molasses

Just started flowering. I am still having the ph problem where it shoots up to about 6.5 by the next day and I believe that's whats causing the brown spots. either way im just going to keep going and see what happens. I'm not really sure why the ph keeps rising that fast though.

It's getting serious now 😄 If it can helps you to realize, each plants gots 4 side and a middle, each sides gots 4-6 buds and there's 5-6 buds in the middle, there's 11 plants of 1,60m/5.25ft, how many buds does it makes ?? The correct answer will win 1 like 😅😂😅😂

We're getting there, lots of milky trichomes and no amber yet. She'll probably be done within 10 days. :) ----- Still drinking about 1/4 bucket a day! Some amber trichs starting to appear here and there. ------ Started flushing her last night! :)

Being this is my first grow I'm learning as I go. I've been hearing and seeing others go into Flower was curious if anyone had some advice for me. Should I start putting bloom into my plant at feedings or wait until I see that it's in flower?

so i got three beans sent to me of their new BDM strain, kindly sent to me by @FAST_BUDS , i popped them into the cubes stuck them under the light and here we go, I have seen some wicked results from to other growers on here, and im keen to find out , how they can improve on their amazing autos, so far and im willing to admit this if i find another to even compare, i have not seen an auto from any other seed bank perform like the ones from Fast Buds. I have at least 40 conversations with people on here that ask me how do i do so well, choose the seed wisely, so they maybe a bit more expensive, like £10 for 5 seeds more, put that into perspective,that 1g of weed, use your head, and stop buying unless you have SEEN the results, mephisto seeds are a connaisseur choice with great flavours but the yield is less,dinafem have a few cracking critical 2.0 and moby dick , but for all round performance, it has to be Fast Buds. PS adding RHIZOTONIC to water will INCREASE your PH - i forgot this and burnt a tip a little.
