I didn't see the explosive growth I was hoping for this week so I'll leave them one more week before transplanting into 20 litre pots. Since I'm really cautious about over watering I only gave them 80 mls this week which is why I think they're wilting. I'd really like to know what an appropriate watering schedule is for plants this size - how much water should they be getting each week? If anyone is reading this and could give a range it would be appreciated.

📆 Semana 6 La floración entra en una fase más marcada y los cogollos empiezan a ganar densidad y volumen. Los cálices se apilan con más presión y las puntas se definen mejor, señal de que la planta ya centra toda su energía en la construcción floral. La resina aumenta visiblemente, cubriendo brácteas y hojas cercanas mientras los pistilos siguen activos, impulsando nuevas capas de flor. La estructura se mantiene equilibrada y bien expuesta, permitiendo un desarrollo uniforme en todas las puntas. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Zdravím všetkých nadržaných pestovateľov. Toto kolo som zatiaľ veľmi spokojný defčatá sú spokojné a netrpia zatiaľ nedostatkami tento 3 týždeň ich bude čakať veľká zálievka 2.2 L Hnojky ostávajú 2ml na 1L, našiel som chyby a Vitamax musím dať na 1ml na liter.Jednej sa darí veľmi dobre a rastie rýchlejšie, samozrejme Ph zostáva na 5.9. Čakám, aby substrát preschol a môžem Hnojiť, pri zalievaní sa snažím postupne liať a nie všetko naraz ako nadržaný 15 ročný cápek čo má péro ako Eiffelova veža. Pridal som výrobené košíky na odtok do podtacky. Vidím mierne krútenie taco listy dal som silnejšie svietiť svetlo a je možné, že som ich popálil ale pri 2.2 L zálievky som dal Vitamax 2ml na 1l čiže som dal veľa ťažke listy môžu reagovať aj na veľa vitamaxu Plus popálenie.Čakám ako to bude ďalej. Defčata , keď už dovŕšia 20 dní svojho života zvýšim PPFD na 400 μmol/m2. Držte palce zdravý kutil.

42 days into my project - "Girl on the balcony on the north side" she is already blooming :) she looks really good, knowing what conditions she has to endure, this week there was not much sun, there was a lot of wind and rain, I used a little LST for the girl, the girl drinks = every other day 1.5 liters of water 6.3 ph, every 3rd watering I give biobizz nutrients :) good luck to everyone :).

Han tenido un crecimiento óptimo, sin complicaciones, han reaccionado estupendamente bien al estimulador de floración Delta 9, tanto foliar, como en riego, se han adaptado bien a la tecnica de LST y desfoliación, se espera que sigan evolucionado de buena manera, los fertilizantes Biobizz se están aplicando en dosis levemente inferiores al máximo estipulado en la tabla del fabricante.

The tropicana cherry is a magnificent plant. Its stocky and stout with really great node space. I love how solid she is and i just see such a good foundation for stretch. A really explosive week of growth. I pushed PPFD up to 310umols. Dimmers are at 60% which is drawing 224w plus 18w of DRRB. I have alos started Emerson effect ... Another The Emerson effect is triggered by the simultaneous exposure of plants to light in the deep red and far-red spectra Deep Red 660 nm /Far-Red 700 nm . A bit of boring science that explains why you need both far red and deep red in order to trigger Emerson. The effect occurs because photosynthesis is driven by two distinct pigment systems working in series:Photosystem II (PSII): Absorbs energy most efficiently at shorter wavelengths (higher frequencies), like 680 nm (441 THz). Photosystem I (PSI): Absorbs energy most efficiently at longer wavelengths (lower frequencies), specifically 700 nm (428 THz). When you provide only the higher frequency (deep red), PSI becomes a bottleneck. When you provide only the lower frequency (far-red), PSII is not sufficiently excited to provide electrons. Providing both frequencies simultaneously allows both systems to work at peak efficiency, resulting in a rate of photosynthesis that is greater than the sum of the two lights used individually. To understand the Emerson Effect, think of photosynthesis not as a single engine, but as a two-stage assembly line. What is the Emerson Effect? Discovered by Robert Emerson in 1957, this phenomenon shows that plants perform photosynthesis much more efficiently when they are hit by two specific types of light at the same time: Deep Red (660 nm) and Far-Red (700+ nm). If you give a plant only Far-Red light, photosynthesis is very slow. If you give it only Deep Red, it's better but still limited. However, when you give it both at once, the total rate of photosynthesis is significantly higher than if you just added the two results together (1+1=3). What is Happening? (The "Assembly Line") Inside the plant's chloroplasts, there are two "workstations" called Photosystem II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI). They work in series, meaning the first one must pass "parts" to the second one. PSII (The First Station): This station is tuned to catch Deep Red light (660 nm). It harvests electrons from water. PSI (The Second Station): This station is tuned to catch Far-Red light (700 nm). It takes the electrons from the first station and uses them to create energy (ATP and NADPH). The Problem: If you only provide Deep Red light, the first station works fast, but the second station can't keep up because it isn't being "powered" efficiently by that specific frequency. This creates a traffic jam of electrons. The Solution: By adding Far-Red light, you power up the second station. It now "pulls" the electrons from the first station much faster, clearing the traffic jam and making the whole assembly line run at full speed. The Benefits for The Grow Because i am using the Biotabs water-only method, my plants already have a steady supply of organic nutrients. Implementing the Emerson Effect offers several distinct advantages: Increased Biomass: Because the "engine" is running faster, the plant produces more sugars and carbohydrates, leading to heavier fruits or flowers. Faster Finishing: Plants often reach maturity sooner because they have more surplus energy to complete their life cycle. Better Light Penetration: Far-Red light is very good at passing through the upper leaves. This "wakes up" the lower parts of the plant that would otherwise be shaded, allowing the whole plant to contribute to growth. Enhanced Secondary Metabolites: In many crops, this synergistic light can stimulate the production of terpenes and antioxidants, improving the "quality" (smell, taste, and potency) of the final harvest. The "Sunrise/Sunset" Trick I am using 4x Invisible sun Far red/Deep red bars,they use high-quality Samsung LH351H (660nm Deep Red) and specific Far-Red (730nm) diodes for 10–15 minutes at the start or end of the light cycle. This mimics the natural shift in light at sunrise and sunset, "waking up" the photosystems or signaling the plant to go into "sleep mode" faster, which can further optimize the flowering cycle. Enviromentally i am chasing a VPD of about 1,1kpa. My room seem to sit nicely at lights on at 24c with no real drama and a little help from a 220W greenhouse bar radiator. Its using abot 4kw/h a day atm because my room is attached to the side of my house and its been -5c.. I have had to add some humidity as its also very dry atm. Im aiming for RH of 65% with my 24c but it is more around the 62s.. VPD is crucial and is the focus for this grow for me. The autopots and Biotabs make it so easy ican really just focus on perfect enviroment. A VPD of 1.0–1.2 kPa provides enough "atmospheric pull" to move calcium and magnesium up from the roots, which is critical for the rapid cell division happening now.. Plants will be flipped on Saturday which is their week 5 as im a bit behind.. As this happens i will push PPFD upto 4-500umols. by week 2 of flower. Thats the plan anyway..

Left tent is a week ahead. Fair amount of stretching this week. This time I’m paying close attention to keep flower sites high up. My experiment with bottom lighting did not went so great. I had a record yield but the quality was really bad in about 30-35% of flowers. Weak density. I’m definitely going to try again from the beginning but not this time. I have to pay attention to not let any plant get to big of a dryback in veg. It really influences the later stretching and make the plant too compact in sensitive cultivars.

Das Wetter wird endlich sommerlich / heiß und die Ladys danken dafür. Der Stretch ist trotz toppen gewaltig :) Eine kleine Portion Nährstoffe wird es die kommenden Tage nochmal geben und dann schauen wir in 4-6 Wochen wieder vorbei.

Bewässerung: 500 ml jeden 3 Tag in der Sechsten Woche pH-Wert: 6 EC-Wert: 1,8 mS/cm Temperatur: 26ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 55% Schädlingsbekämpfung: im Moment haben wir keine Anzeichen das es was zu bekämpfen gibt, sobald die ersten Anzeichen da sind werden wir handeln :), aber zur Sicherheit haben wir wieder ein paar Raubmilben an die Pflanzen gehenkt. PPFD: 600 µmol/m²/s DLI: 38 mol/m²/Tag Düngemittel: Sie bekommt CalMag von BioBizz zu Prävention. Ab Tag 8 haben wir angefangen sie mit einem Mineralischen NPK Dünger (NPK 10-4-7) zu Gießen . Besonderheiten: Sie ist nun seit einer Woche im Großen Zelt und macht sich ganz gut. -Tag 36 sie erholt sich gut von Umtopfen und wir haben die LST Sticks wieder angepast.

Hello again, The Shamans are doing great but the Criticalkushes are still not showing any signs of preflowering, therefore they might not finish properly in mid October. After that, it is to cold to have them outside. I can try to shorten the flowering proces for the criticalkushes but that will result into small buds. On the other side I rather have small full developed buds then big fluffy undeveloped buds with less thc on it. We will see how it goes. I started to notice some trips on my criticalkushes as well, not a major problem, just a few. So I have to get some Canna Cure again, The last bottle has been empty for a few weeks, which is just my fault, little bit lazy. Will get another bottle of Canna cure asap. It had been protecting my plants for weeks and it really worked alot. Besides that it kills of insects, it also give nutrients to the leafs which they really can use since I also spotted some minor things on the leafs. Until next week!

*=UPDATED=* Not to much to add this week, I plucked a lot of the lower leaves off to prevent them from getting to close to the growing medium and having some disease issues, plus increases some air flow. Also plucked a few of the top fan leaves that where blocking the lower buds from the light. Don't think this is proper defoliation so I did not check it off as a grow technique. The plants are really starting to smell more and get a lot of trichomes on them. When I'm in the case and smell each plant, they all have different terpene profiles. one is very lemon and pine with a hint of sweetness, one is quite sweet and berry like with lemon notes "my fav", another is just more so woodsy pine smell and the last one is mildly sweet smelling with something else I could not pinpoint. one setback is the case fan I was using died out, i think the heat inside the tent and operating for so long got to it, it was an older fan to start off with so not overly surprising. It started to have a hot electric smell to it, like wires or rubber getting to hot. I manage the case heat by propping its door open on a angle. still keeps temps at 25c (77f) Other then that I don't think they grew to big vs last week, one plant is starting to get some more purple in it, I like purple colour on buds. maybe the leaf plucking set it back a bit, can't imagine the plant would enjoy that happening to it. Trying to post little fly over videos every week of the case to give better idea of plants and what they are looking like. will try and get a macro lens closer to trichomes and see what they are doing in terms of clear cloudy and amber for next week, may give me a hint as if ill harvest week after that. *=UPDATE=* I didn't want to wait till next week to post trichomes so took some photos with a clip-on Macro lens for my phone, not the best but looks pretty cool. mostly all cloudy from what I can tell. one plant has a bit of amber on its sugar leaves but not its bud.

Heute mal inklusive einem kleinen Video. Was soll ich sagen, ich habe in diversen Foren und auch hier das Problem geschildert und musste wohl feststellen, dass ich es tatsächlich geschafft habe mit Bio Dünger zu überdüngen und das wahrscheinlich mit zu viel Stickstoff. Ich habe mir die Trichome angeschaut und rechne mit einer Ernte in ca. 14-20 Tagen. Diese Woche wird das letzte Mal Blütedünger gegeben. Der Wachstumsdünger ist komplett raus. Ab nächsten Sonntag wird je nach Zustand entschieden, ob TopMax und die anderen Zusätze noch 1 Woche gegeben werden oder ob ich spüle. Ich werde die Töpfe auch nicht mehr voll saugen, da die Luftfeuchtigkeit kritisch wird (nachts 82%, tagsüber 65-70). Schimmel konnte ich noch nicht feststellen und auch vom Geruch her glaube ich, dass noch kein Schimmel vorhanden ist.

Week 2 had a few challenges. The seedlings were getting little leggy so I got them outdoors in the breeze to strengthen the stem. The wind caused one to snap but it didnt fully break so it is in scotch tape traction right now 🤣. It is still hanging tough after day two fingers crossed. I am preparing the pots for the seedlings to be transplanted into this weekend. I plan to use FishSh!t to easy the stress of transplanting. I am using the leds on overcast days to supplement till they get bigger. Happy growing and any suggestions are welcome just be sweet. 😘 -Kate

Day 35 Diese Woche war im Verhältnis zu den vorherigen ganz ok. Von Woche 4-5 mit dem vegegativen Wachstum zufrieden. Die Seitentriebe kommen endlich etwas mehr zum Vorschein. Ich denke aber das die Ernte klein ausfällt da ich es einfach in den ersten 2 Wochen verkackt habe! Die Vorblüte ist gekommen und es wird demnächst das Licht auf 400 Watt NDL geändert . Die Ladies haben nun auch etas mehr Hunger was gut ist 😁. Ich habe Sie in dieser Woche zum ersten mal mit Drain durchgegossen, das haben Sie gemocht. Die Klimabedingungen waren wie schon die letzten Wochen super. Peace

Needed to defoliate to create airflow and start shaping the ladies. Stretching out the lower colas across the base. Fimmed the ends of the longer stems to get a split going for more colas. Recharge added to feed after stripping 30%+ of the lower canopy. Will turn to flower in a week or too. Notes: slow growth due to the lower heat in the tent. Okay with that because the Lecky bills have been huge with all the price gouging going on.
