D43. The first day in the second week of flower, everything is good in the tent. She might be small and stunted, but she looks healthy, vibrant, and strong. ------------------------------ D45. There's nothing to report, really. She is quietly doing her thing, and there isn't much for me to do at this point. The mushroom kit seems to have just died after harvest, and today, I noticed some mold and removed it immediately. It was a fun experiment that didn't work out as I'd hoped. Oh, well :) ------------------------------ D47. Zzzzzzzz... flower is so dull as there's nothing to do but wait. ------------------------------ D49. There's not much to report at the end of the second week of flower. Yesterday, the entire tent was without power, so there was no light or exhaust for five hours. Ugh! Fortunately, I was making some compost tea and discovered the lack of power when watering. I gave the girl 2.5 liters of compost tea and humic acid @ pH 6.6. ------------------------------

Great strain, would recommend. Nice smoke/vapor, friends love it, stupefying and euphoric, no heavy couch lock like heavy indicas. Taste great in The Mighty vaporizer, citrus with a hint of pine.

So.. She's now just over 12 weeks old with 8 weeks flower and 4 veg, I did the last feed on Friday just gone, and will now flush for a week+ up until she starts showing me Amber's, I AM NOT CUTTING HER EARLY I know she's a sativa dominant but, there is Indica genes in there somewhere and I would like around 10-20% Amber if possible, it is going to be a precarious balancing act between prime potency, amber and degradation of the plant as its been around for a long time she's going to go over DP timing cycle by about 5 weeks haha, As soon as I see Amber's appearing I am going to give it about 36hrs as normal then whack it in the dark for 24hrs (everyone seems to do it so I will try with this one then do two the next time with the same strain put one in the dark and one not and see if there is any difference, I am thinking that there is now about 1to2 weeks left before harvest (I know I said that last week aha) but what do I know, hmhm So looking forward to seeing what she's like, I have put so much care love and attention into making her the best she could be and not stressing her, and has received very little stress, a bit of burn on the tips of leaves (bout 4 weeks ago appeared overnight, cut down food and it seemed to fix. The issue) and the heat for the last week and a half or so crept up to about 31 ish all the time at night aswell, but I was running about trying to keep her cool and moist, well it seemed to have paid off as there is very very minimal foxtailing on 2 of the bud sites the majority remain prestine, I would really appreciate a few guesses as to harvest weight (dry) I could expect, (I won't hold anyone to there word, I know it's an educated guess, haha), Sorry about the missed weeks and lack of quality pictures, I will endeavour to make up for that with a good final post and roundup 👍👍 Thanks for poking your head in, Please remember to close the door when you leave 😜

At day 21, the plant is growing extremely bushy with lots of branching. I like a healthy, compact plant, but it is definitely making the LST tricky as there is so much foliage in such a dense space. I am planning on defoliating in the future, but with my LED set up the bottom fan leafs are getting plenty of light so I am going to start slow. Over week 4 my plan is to really flatten the plant out, and get more room for all the branches coming in. If this kind of growth continues for another week or so, there will be a ton of bud sites when it switches to flowering. Day 27: upgraded to new tent.

Week 6 – Day 44 Flower Day 14 🔄 Looking back: This week I did lollipopping and defoliation on Mimosa Evo and White Widow ✂️ Both plants took it well – no signs of stress or herms so far. Everything is stable and looking good ✅ 💧 I also started mixing osmosis water with tap water at a 10:1 ratio. That gives me a stable pH and a starting EC of 0.08, which is great for preparing nutrients. 💡 Lighting & DLI Mimosa Evo is under the Kingbrite P55 320W, and I’ve now increased the light intensity. 📈 DLI is up to 78 (24h), which equals about 39 DLI under a 12/12 cycle. She’s handling it well so far – no signs of light stress, and the stretch continues strong 🌿 🌿 Plant status – Mimosa Evo 📏 Height: 77 cm (+27 cm this week) 💧 Drain pH: 5.9, EC: 1.7 ⚗️ Feeding at 75% of the nutrient schedule ✅ She looks vigorous and healthy, stretching strongly into early flower. No deficiencies, no complaints!

Dear friends here it is serious. The two Dark Phoenix are both beautiful and fit, raised high and powerful. The first plant, my favorite, is processed with a topping at 16 peaks that gave balance to the plant really the peaks are all beautiful and upwards, they are taking color. Perfume very much I don't know what, but it's sweet, it seems to me the perfume then there are other neighbors and confused me. It is a highly recommended strain that can do very very well. The second plant is worked with a topping at 16 peaks, but I left two side branches under that they felt the center but they are beautiful and are repeated in full. Wow. I have no words the plants are beautiful and I am very happy. LIGHT >> MARSHYDRO SP3000 AT 100% OF POWER ..

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

Zweite Blütewoche. Diese Woche gibt es das erste mal Blütedünger. Bio PK 5-8 von Biotabs. Ich habe mich mit 8ml leicht unterhalb der Angabe des Herstellers (10ml) orientiert. Außerdem habe ich einige Blätter entfernt um Platz für verdeckte Triebe zu schaffen. Die Blüten fangen an sich zu bilden. Ich hoffe das Höhenwachstum ist zuende.

Hi people! Well? Here comes the week before the harvest. 2203, 2205 and 2206 are ready for harvest. I washed them off today. as for 2204, this girl started flowering a week and a half later than the others, so she will stand for another 2 weeks. now in order. 2203, my favorite! she is the tallest of them all. and probably the most productive. because the buds are just huge. and they are not fluffy and soft as it may seem in the photo. they are incredibly tough. This variety has been different from the rest since its birth. she quickly gained height and soared up to 160cm! from the beginning I thought it would be 100% sativa dominant! literally everything was about it. leaf size and shape. structure of branches and inflorescences. BUT! when it began to bloom and take on the shape of buds, I hesitated in my conclusions.)) perhaps this is still a hybrid with sativa. We will know about it exactly after the harvest. Smell: Banana scent is very strong. This is probably the only fragrance that I don't doubt. there are also notes of flowers, and something sour and bitter at the same time. my nose is not good enough to pick out all the flavors that this wonderful variety has to offer. but definitely the smell is fruity and sweet with an admixture of mustard. 2204 this is a very unusual variety. during the growing season I was sure it was an indica. she grew low dense with large leaves. I thought she didn't grow big. why did I call it unusual? because it looks like a photoperiod variety. leaves and inflorescences are different from all the rest. the buds are not big at the moment but very dense. and there are so many trichomes that even large leaves are covered with them. smell: conifers. herbal. citrus. slightly sour. growers will understand me, the smell is such that only strong strains have. I'm sure that high from her will be armor-piercing! 2205 there are varieties that simply fascinate with their ideal forms, color and growth. And this girl is one of them! medium sizes. looks like a pure hybrid. I think 50-50 from the beginning of flowering, a light pink-purple color appeared in the buds. I thought it would become richer as it grew, but oddly enough, the color remained the same soft pink. very unusual for me. I love colored varieties and I have a lot of experience with them. but I have never seen such a delicate pink shade in buds. just a beatiful woman. smell: without a doubt, the smell of chocolate prevails! coffee, cocoa. the sweet smell of perhaps sweets or caramel is also very pronounced. but this girl is definitely made of sweets! 2206 this girl was the most unpretentious and inconspicuous. because she did not require special attention to her. grew without problems. the buds are also very very dense. like a stone. these buds are just my pride. because they are formed flawlessly. strewn with trichomes like snow. I sometimes just want to bite off the top of the bud. smell: wooden, coniferous, nutmeg. there is a little citrus aroma, but very far.

Hi meine lieben, 🤗 Die 2. Woche der Wachstums-Phase steht an... ...und die realität schlägt zu. Hatte versucht diesen Run mit einem höheren VPD-Wert und dadurch ohne zusätzliches CalMag hinzufügen zumüssen, laufen zulassen. Da laut einer Studie, man durch einen erhöhten VPD, kein zusätzliches CalMag unter LED's hinzugefügt werden müsste. Allerdings gieße ich noch mit Leitungswasser. Also hatte ich mir mal die werte meiner Stadtwerke angeschaut. Und in meinem Wasser habe ich Calcium = 78 mg/l und Magnesium = 5,3 mg/l und somit ein verhältnis von 14:1😰. Was von einer Optimalen versorgung von 2:1 - 4:1 CalMag etwas entfernt ist... 😅 Beste Lösung wäre ein Filtersystem wie der Watertrim zu nutzen. Günstiger ist es Mono-Magnesium (oder bei bedarf Mono-Calcium) zu besorgen und das Wasser im richtigen Verhältnis auszugleichen. _________________________________________________________ Optimale CalMag-Versorgung in den einzelnen Phasen: Sämling: Cal: 50-60 mg/l Mag: 20-30 mg/l Wachstum: Cal: 80-100 mg/l Mag: 30-50mg/l Blüte: Cal: 100-120 mg/l Mag: 40-60mg/l ______________________________________________________________ Wie mein Ablauf in dieser Woche genau aussah, habe ich auch diesmal für uns Dokumentiert.
