Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

Flowering has finally arrived, the structure is fantastic, each branch has its own space, and the light manages to penetrate inside. With the help of the fantastic tent-x I can keep everything under control, humidity and temperature are now no longer a difficulty to overcome, and thanks to the LED module I can also control the switching on and off of the LED light. The best thing ever is being able to use the statistics that the device retrieves, calculating the VPD and with a table I can understand if the plant is breathing well. I thank TROLMASTER immensely for giving me the opportunity to test their product! 👽

Two in the tent are in flower week 2. ONE SKYWALKEROG and One northern lights. 5 plants in veg week 7 or 8 all SOUR WIZ. Another week and they should be ready to flower. Thanks for looking 🖤

Hi guys, so I chopped the little gelatocake 3 days ago and its hanging in 55% humidity and 15°f, I have taken a sample bud, you no how it is lol. Sherbert mimosa are struggling along and going purple 💜 bit cold here lately, starting to fatten up a bit now, the baby photos are growing fast but need repoting. Happy growing guys 💜💚💪

Topped this girl this week, she’s growing pretty good. Very nice looking plant to my eye.

8/28: She's my last CC bean out of the original 7 that I received. (only ordered 5). I will not be ordering any more of them, but it is really good bud, so I figured why not.. I had 2 out of 3 seeds germinate last grow, and only 1 out of 4 this time....if they hadn't sent me the two freebies I might not have even been successful at all last time... I will FIM this one to try and increase the yield a little... She's in the 5gal tall black plastic pot with the white zip-tie loops on both sides.

🌿Week 4: Defoliation & SCROG Setup Week 4 was all about structure and airflow. The canopy was getting bushy fast, with a ton of inner growth, so we went in for a solid defoliation session across the board. Lower fans, overlapping leaves, and shaded internodes were cleaned up to let light penetrate deeper into the canopy and reduce potential humidity traps. Right after that, we finally dropped the SCROG net, stretched out gently across the canopy to guide the branches horizontally and prep for flower stacking. Some of these phenos are already reaching for the sky, so the timing felt just right. Captured a full-time-lapse clip of the defoliation + netting process. It’s super satisfying watching the chaos turn into clean lines. Nature meets intention. Feed Bloom since 20/6 22/6 Defoliation 🌱 Plant Response: After defol, they bounced back fast. Tops are perky, leaves are praying, and stretch is continuing in a controlled way. The structure’s more open now — better airflow, better light distribution, better everything.

Ok so I put a significant amount of time into this grow. Learned a ton (everything lol) as it was my first. After the final week, I decided to harvest when the trichs were milky and clear. Few amber here and there but time constraints meant I had to chop a bit earlier than I’d have preferred. I do prefer a more uplifting cerebral effect yet realize with an indica leaning strain, having all cloudy and maybe 25% amber would have been 👌🏼. My drying process began by chopping a plant at a time, I washed the buds to get the PM or traces off (also grime from outdoor city air). I used a big bucket and did hydrogen peroxide. In heindsight I would have used baking soda as well and did a two step wash. After washing them, I hung to dry with a fan until they stopped dripping then into the tent they went for drying at roughly 68 degrees and 55% humidity. I staggered the harvest and wet trimmed about 70% of the time with the latter 30% dry trimmed. This was done for convenience and to try both ways. I dried everything for about 12-13 days until the smallest stems snapped and the larger ones were borderline cracking. I started jarring everything with humidity meters, about a half oz per smaller widemiuth jam jar. The smell was never hay-like but did vary in strength and scent from plant to plant. Almost no seeds which was pretty great to see. One of the outdoor plants had quite a few seeds so I kept that separate. It ironically had the stinkiest floral smell. So what’s the total!! After curing in jars for about a month, I weighted everything and came out with 10.5oz of cured trimmed flower and about 2 oz of sugar leaf trim which I am making canna butter with and cooking. Made some reduculously strong cookies: 11 cookies from about 10 grams of trim. Ate two and was medicated for about 24hrs 😂. Some of the buds were super dense and cured down to 58 RH easily. There were a few of the large big buds that had mass but less density and fewer trichomes. These were more red-hair visually than the others. The smoke: surprisingly smooth. The effect is energizing and uplifting at first, with a nice sedative body feeling on the second half of things. Overall, I’m super happy with the result. Learned a TON and will be modifying my approach a bit next go-around this spring. Stay tuned!!!

>> 1. Defoliation (25% green weight) was as 30 on 31 days after the 12/12 lighting change! >> 2. Cleaner substrate - added 25% nutrients. >> 3. Downloaded good position rockets’ green.

Day 20, about 20cm wide and 15cm tall, they have been bushing out! 4th nodes are on their way. Was recommended I start upping the grow side of coco GH nutrient duo at three weeks, so thinking I try that when I wake up. Stems have fattened up a bit too. Q: I'm going to lst weekly, when should I begin?

This was the girls last week of Veg. ❤️ I did a big defoliation, the lit in my 4x4 custom SCROG netting and started tucking and bending the tops down to fill the spaces. They were looking pretty scraggly for a day or two after the defoliation, but within a few days the screen was filling out. I have a daily routine of lights on, tuck and bend, no weaving and then just before lights out I’ll do the same. Temps were good, watering has been vigorous. They are very thirsty! Feeding about 1 1/2 gallons every feed now, the 4 gallon pots are a bit undersized but I wanted to see what could Come of These slightly taller pots, rather than the wider regular sized pots. Haven’t had to add humidity this week, pretty consistent around 60%. At the end of the week I changed the light cycle to a 12/12 for flowering ❤️👊🇨🇦

Drying at 60%rlf and 18-20C in DryFerm bags.

Hello everone 😎 What a beautiful girl 😳 I start to introduce bloom nutrient & Homemade bloom powder She is under the Mars Hydro SP-6500 70% Have a nice day 💥

Sie entwickelt sich sehr gut hab nur angst das ich zu gründlich entlaubt habe...

Week 5 for the Critical and Sour Ds and Week 4 for the Lemon Pie, Blackberry and Gorilla Zkittlez. Fed 2 tbl of Coast of Maine, Stonington Plant Food at the beginning of Week 5 and end of 4 for the younger plants.

So in just the last week, the plants already doubled. GSC went from 11 to 22". Widow went from 8 to 14". Gelat.og went from 10 to 18". GSC seems to want to grow up quickly. Huge growth spurt. Flowered after 3 days. Flowers are developing well meanwhile the other two are just showing a few tendrils. Hopefully an uneventful week.

3. November Alle drei Pflanzen weiterhin topfit. Trauermücken aufgetreten. Habe das abgelaufene Päckchen nematoden für die runtz genutzt. Hoffe es bringt was 4. November Cookies Gelato hat den harten Mainlinecut bekommen. Spitze wurde entfernt, Seitenteile wurden direkt danach abgeschnitten. Sie wird’s schon wegstecken. Tropimango und runtz geht’s gut :) Cookie gelato hat bereits wenige Stunden später die Blätter wieder hoch gestreckt. Stagniert. 5. November Alles gut. Die Schnitte wurden gut verkraftet. Triebe wachsen wieder Cookies gelato ist nun 21 Tage alt. Tropimango ist nun 18 Tage alt. Runtz ist nun 7 Tage Alt. 7. November Cookies gelato wächst. Sobald die Klammern da sind wird sie runtergebunden Tropimango hat schnitte und Lst bekommen. Topping werde ich noch abwarten. Runtz wächst 8. November Cookies gelato hat LST + mainlineschnitte erhalten. Wurde nicht mit gießen kombiniert da ich gestern gegossen habe. Tropimango erneut LST. Runtz wächst. Sieht aus als würde sie langsam ins Wachstum wechseln. Erster Triebe am einzahnblatt kommen. Dreizahnblatt erst frisch entwickelt. 9. November Cookies gelato wurde das erste mal zusätzlich mit Sugar Royal und calmag versorgt. Hab’s davor vergessen 😅 Shit Happens. Wurzeldünger gibt es konstant weiter. Runtz wurde mit wurzeldünger und calmag versorgt Tropimango hat noch sehr feuchte Erde. Keine Ahnung wieso.

– Eternity Grow Cup Zamnesia x Plagron - Semaine : Dernière semaine de floraison (F+9) Variété : Runtz (Zamnesia) Système : Hydro Ebb and Flow Nutrition : Plagron + Terra Aquatica (FinalPart + Green Sensation) Résumé de la semaine Cette dernière semaine de floraison a été dédiée à un rinçage optimisé pour finaliser le cycle de la Runtz de Zamnesia, une variété légendaire issue du croisement de Zkittlez et Gelato. Le système hydroponique Ebb and Flow s’est révélé ultra-efficace, permettant une absorption précise des nutriments et une gestion parfaite du climat, grâce à mon fidèle allié Trolmaster (clin d’œil à eux pour la gestion au poil du climat et des lumières !). Les cinq phénotypes cultivés ont montré une diversité incroyable en termes de structure, taille, couleurs et odeurs, rendant ce run visuellement et olfactivement spectaculaire. Voici les détails de cette semaine cruciale. Paramètres environnementaux Pour maintenir un VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) cible de 1,1 kPa, essentiel pour maximiser la production de trichomes tout en minimisant les risques de botrytis, j’ai ajusté les paramètres suivants : Température : 23-24 °C (jour) / 18-20 °C (nuit) Humidité relative : 45-50 % (optimale pour la fin de floraison, réduit les risques de moisissures tout en favorisant la résine) VPD : Maintenu à 1,1 kPa grâce à un contrôle précis via Trolmaster, qui a régulé l’humidificateur et l’extraction pour un équilibre parfait. Éclairage : PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) : 800-1000 µmol/m²/s, ajusté pour éviter le stress lumineux tout en maximisant la photosynthèse. DLI (Daily Light Integral) : 40-50 mol/m²/jour, atteint avec un cycle de 12h/12h sous LEDs full-spectrum, optimisé pour une fin de floraison explosive. Ces conditions ont été idéales pour pousser les plantes à produire des têtes denses et résineuses tout en gardant le botrytis à distance. Nutrition et Rinçage Pour cette dernière semaine, j’ai réduit l’EC de 2,45 mS/cm à 1,3 mS/cm pour amorcer un rinçage efficace, tout en évitant un choc trop violent pour les plantes. J’ai utilisé : Terra Aquatica FinalPart : Pour mobiliser les nutriments restants dans les plantes et optimiser la maturation des têtes. Plagron Green Sensation : Ajouté en faible dose pour booster la production de terpènes et de résine, tout en maintenant la qualité gustative. Le rinçage a été effectué avec une eau osmosée (EC initiale de 0,4 après ajout de Ca/Mg) et un pH ajusté à 5,5-6,0, parfaitement adapté au système hydroponique Ebb and Flow. Cette approche a permis de nettoyer les sels résiduels tout en préservant l’intégrité des trichomes et des arômes. Le système Ebb and Flow a brillé par sa capacité à fournir une irrigation homogène, assurant une fin de cycle sans stress pour les plantes. Observations des phénotypes Les cinq phénotypes de Runtz ont été un véritable festival pour les sens : Structure et taille : Certains phénotypes sont restés compacts (80-100 cm), idéaux pour l’indoor, tandis que d’autres ont atteint 130 cm avec une structure plus élancée. Couleurs : Des teintes vibrantes allant du vert vif aux nuances pourpres, avec des pistils orange flamboyants et une couche de trichomes givrés qui scintille sous les LEDs. Odeurs : La diversité terpénique est incroyable ! Selon les phénotypes, on passe d’arômes sucrés de melon et de fraise à des notes plus funky de fromage affiné ou même une touche surprenante de pieds (merci au caryophyllène et au limonène pour ce spectacle olfactif !). Les trichomes sont à leur apogée : environ 70 % laiteux, 20-25 % ambrés et encore 5-10 % transparents, signe que la récolte est imminente. L’observation au microscope révèle des têtes de trichomes bien gonflées, prêtes à offrir un maximum de puissance et de saveur. Les principaux terpènes identifiés (limonène, caryophyllène, linalool, humulène) confèrent à la Runtz son profil aromatique complexe : fruité, sucré, avec des touches terreuses et épicées, parfait pour une expérience sensorielle mémorable. Conclusion Ce run de Runtz pour l’Eternity Grow Cup Zamnesia x Plagron a été tout simplement exceptionnel. Les plantes sont magnifiques, avec des têtes denses, colorées et débordantes de résine. Tout s’est déroulé à merveille, du contrôle du climat (merci Trolmaster pour la précision chirurgicale !) à la gestion des nutriments avec Plagron et Terra Aquatica. La diversité des phénotypes a ajouté une dimension passionnante à ce projet, chaque plante étant une œuvre d’art à part entière. Un immense merci à Zamnesia et Plagron pour l’organisation de ce concours, qui a permis de mettre en lumière le potentiel de cette génétique incroyable et des produits de qualité. Vivement la récolte et le curing pour découvrir le plein potentiel de ces beautés ! 🌱🔥 #EternityGrowCup #Zamnesia #Plagron #Trolmaster
