Day 53 of flower today. I filled the reservoir from empty and stopped using the macro. I replaced it with General hydroponics Ripen at 5ml a gallon. Everything is frosty and smells good. As far looks I like the RC the best and the PE the least. I'm going to end up with a sheet ton of it out of the 3 so I hope I'm wrong! 😆 I'm going to do a lower defoliation mid week to get more air flowing. RH is stable but I just want to be careful 🧐 being this close to the finish line. This is definitely one of the easiest runs I've had. It seems PE is pretty maxed when it comes to nutrition but LMC and RC could take a bit more. My PE phenotype is super stretchy compared to them as well.

This week I planted them in their final 11L pots! For the feeding I feed after the chart from advanced nutrients „Master Grower for COCO“

So got the net in place this week and started doing my ScrOG. Also did a bit of FIMing and some LST to help speed things up a bit. So far the weaving hasn't been as easy as I was told it be some ive been using some soft twist ties to help keep them in place. Going to veg and weave for another week or so before I switch it to flower. I was told you have to continue weaving for 2-3 weeks into flower but im worried that'll stress the plant out so if anyone that reads this knows other wise, comment below. Increased the feed from 1 liter to 2 liters because I wasn't getting any run off. Now I'm getting 10% run off every watering and I've been able to keep my run off ppm to less then 100 ppm above feed. So far I'm really like working with coco and don't see myself going back to soil unless it's outside plants. The environment has been fairly stable the last week with outside temperature droping. Had a spike in humidity yesterday because it got up to 75% humidity outside where I live. Luckly when that happened my tent only went up to roughly 67% but it's slowly dropped down and then stopped at 62%. There calling for another heat wave this week with it reaching up to almost 40c again for a couple days.... can not wait for summer to be over. I'm a ginger so I'm more of a autumn and spring kind of guy and plus this heat is making it difficult not only for this plant but also the ones I started seeding a few weeks back. Got so hot that they stopped growing for 3 days, 2 died and 3 got burned a bit. So far this 300w SE-3000 Spider-Farmer light is really rocking it. Great coverage, adjustable and detachable ballast have made this a easy grow even with the mad heat. Definitely going to look at the SE-5000 light that runs at 450w or the SE-7000 light that runs at 650w for my next light in the 4x4 tent. Next go around I'm going to try this light in a 2x2 tent I have that I use for germinating. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone.

Week 19/2 - 25/02

Das ist jetzt eher eine Montas Beschreibung. Ich hatte sie einen Monat jetzt am Fenster und kein gutes Licht daher ist so so klein vermute ich. Ich habe sie in der ersten Woche mit Bio Grow gedüngt das hält 8 Wochen- in der 7. Woche dünge ich nach da sich die wachstumsphase jetzt ja wohl verlängert ich glaube nicht das sie in 2 Wochen nen Riesen Schuss macht. 1 mal pro Woche benutze ich enhancer und für die Blüte dann bio bloom Das sind alles Greenhouse Produkte Ich bin ganz neu hier und hab wirklich so gut wie kein Equipment und alles was ich hab ist selber gemacht ich will es einfach versuchen und wenn es gut klappt mich steigern :) Ich würde mich über Tipps freuen Das ist auch der Grund wieso ich viele Informationen wie ph und sowas gerade noch nicht messen und somit ins Profil schreiben kann.

Im still continuing the rest. Will update on the harvest this weekend

👉 The plant was a nice dense bush and due to the funky way it leaned over the Queen cola was not the tallest one. It almost filled up the tent (4x4). Such a dense bush that I was afraid I would have a lot of popcorn. I did a fair amount of small branch removal but the plant was prolific and had lots of secondary branches all over. The lean of the plant helped every branch get as much light as it could. I didn't train the plant to be tilted, I couldn't see the trunk because it was a small solid dome of leaves. Everything looked normal at the top. But when it was time to trim the lower leaves that were sitting on the media I saw the main stalk was bent over. I did nothing to straighten it out because the plant was so stout and I could see it wasnt hurting the plant. I dont do any training on my plants. I just let them grow as they please. My goal is just to help the plant to reach its potential. 👉To harvest I did a close wet trim. I started the harvest by clipping the branch closest to the bottom. For each branch I would trim all the fan leaves and worked m way up to the cola at the end of the branch. The larf was trimmed loosely to get rid of the un-frosted leaves, then tossed on the top rack of the dry net. Each branch had a few nice buds on them and those were weighed then put on the second rack of the dry net. I weighed the wet weight of each rack separately. The nice plump cola at the end of each branch was weighed and put on a hanging clip with a letter and the weight cataloged with that number. I repeated this for each branch till I finished with the Queen cola. I hung each cola on a rack. 👉To dry I used an oscillating 42" fan set to lowest speed. After 8 hours I turned the whole rack to help even out the drying process. After another 12 hrs I put each cola on a clip in its own paper bag. I put the buds on the racks in bags as well. I would occasionally weigh each bud and compare it to its starting weigh and my goal was around 25%. I would record each buds weight and then place in a jar would place in a jar with a hygrometer. I would monitor each jar as often as I could and open or close the jar depending on the humidity until it was stable at 62% rh or less. When at the target rh of 62% I would place a 2way moisture control pack in the jar and then placed the jars on the cool, dark closet. 👉The numbers were very surprising to me. The total for the buds on the second rack was 254g. The cola total was 226. Thats 480g of dense frosty goodness. That doesnt include any larf or trim. I didnt weigh the trim but it was a big pile. I made two kief pucks, one pure trichome wafer, and a full puck of scissor hash!

Day 77 (f15): The Runtz is stretching considerably more than the Kosher Dawg (which will need to be elevated - probably by putting planks under the dwc reservoir). Ran out of Plagron nutrients and couldn't find anymore! So I bought the only ones available at the hydro store 'hy-pro hydro A & B), these nutrients are much less concentrated and I already used up near to half a litre of nutrients on my reservoir change day (yesterday)! The yellow tips on the Runtz seem to be light stress, as during the res change the nutrient dosage was lowered and ph maintained between 5.7-6.1 and she shows she is hungry but the yellow tips got slightly worse to the light is 15cm higher now. Nice strong vegetative smell releases when I rub any part of the plants :D It is getting difficult to take pictures where you can actually see the size of the plants because the space is so packed! Can't wait to do the heavy defoliation after the stretch (in like 5-7 days from now)! Day 80 (f18) update: 10cm stretch since day 15, she is doing well! Internode distance is larger than I'm used to, but she also stretched more than I expected so I'll probably remove all the lower bud sites during the heavy defoliation. Light stress (or nute burn) symptoms barely progressed, I think putting the light from 35 to 55cm from the highest growth shoots helped. Since she is so bushy and definitely the biggest volume plant I have ever had I am very curious to see what she REALLY looks like after the defoliation!! Day 80 (f20) update (heavy defoliation): The stretch has slowed down and the buds have a slight fresh sweet citrus aroma, took 90 minutes to defoliate her and remove the 'sucker' branches and bud sites on the bottom 40% of the plant. Changed water reservoir to a mix with a bit of bloom booster (Plagron green sensation).

Stretched like crazy! Showing sativa dominance. 1 plant had 2 roots stuck in cup and broke off. Hopefully recovery is fine and I can get to the fun of training soon!

Nothing new. The feeding schedule stayed the same just riding through the weeks now. Started to defoliate gently.

ladies are doing fabulous!! growing incredibly fast. loving the cob light. ww/bb you can literally watch grow every day. the white widow didn't like that I took a few fan leaves I took off, seemed to make her grow a tad slower. the ww/bb with the 3 axillary buds grew out perfect and the bottom node grew just right to get even, and make a nice flat canopy. same with the king tut. on crazy anomaly was one branch on the ww/bb has 5 auxiliary buds! never seen or heard that before. trying to decide If i should top there too. check out the video to see it better thanks for following any tips please lmk!!

Veg Week 7 Day 49 to 55 - 4/8 to 4/14 This week is primarily test training recovery and stretch setting for flower. Follow-up on the breaks confirms the last statement: So as I said, little to no damage will produce average branches (prone to weight breaks later in flower as discovered in my first grow) Small to slightly moderate break of green and evenly crushed stem can create heavy knuckles with large waterways through hardwood. This provides great support without hindering growth and actually seems to encourage it. Moderate to heavy rips with no back support will runt growth and support; if not die off from lack of attention to the issue. However if back supported immediately, it can recover with a little extra time but lost days of growth will be replaced with recovery days instead. Feed this week was again an auto pot reservoir feed at 500ppm total before add-ins. I used 400ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and introduced 100ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 5.9 Video HST Branch crushing and bending to train waterways for stretch in flower. The more I do here, the less I have to do later. Next week I plan to monitor the training of the branches and feed 500ppm at 5.8ph. All I am trying to do now is set the growth of the colas/branches to where I want them to flower and stretch from now that I can see which are going to be more productive in size.

Esta es la segunda semana cambiamos a bases de floración y las chicas se vienen comportante exelente ya han sexado todas y no hay machos :D. Peyote purple 2 parece que tiene alguna enfermedad? parece como si poco a poco sus hojas se consumieran solas, será intolerancia a los abonos? si alguien me pudiera ayudar estaría agradecido. Saludos y buena semana colegas

Tag 73: Die Trichome der Epsilon F1 Automatic von Royal Queen Seeds wurden größtenteils Trübe. Die Blüten sind sehr fest und die meisten Blütenfäden sind braun. Die Ernte erfolgt dieses mal strikt nach dem Mondkalender. Bis dahin ist sie wunderschön anzuschauen. Ich wünsche euch viel Freude mit eueren Pflanzen. 😀

she looking real nice! she appears to be plumping up really nicely, definitely nice and healthy. She has roughly 3 weeks left before harvest, so still plenty of time to continue to plump up. Co2 has been added to the tent now and I have continued the foilair feeding. Hoping for a strong finish! 👌

Very excited for this plant it massive compared to my others. I can't wait ro see how much it yields!

Things are going good, I am beginning to think about when to harvest. I have tried capturing some microscope shots of the trichomes with a 15x macro lens (BlitzWolf), but they turned out awful. They still look transparent and glasslike, and I did not see many, if any, amber trichomes. I am going on vacation next week, and wonder if plant will be fine with not being harvested before the 8th of July, two weeks from now. Day 3: Watered Day 4: Macro shots. Trichomes look transparent and glasslike, but since this is my first grow, any input from experienced growers is very welcome :-) Day 7: Watered. No amber trichomes in sight, I will wait one more week before the harvest.

This week has gone great. My lovely lady's are thirsty and taking there nutrients wonderfully. I have increased there water and nutrients intake and they are responding well. They continue to grow rapidly I am moving there light almost daily. I'm running out of vertical room.. All the hard work is paying off, they are starting to show there reward of amazing bud sites developing everywhere. A few more weeks and they will get added micronutrients. I'm pumped to see there development coming soon

Week 5 is about finished. I started the girls on the finisher product to help. Harden the buds, basically only another week and a half before I begin the flush.
