Grow Diary: End of Week 4 Flowering The end of Week 4 has brought some significant developments. The scent coming from the tent is already beautiful and potent for this stage of flowering, showing a huge difference compared to the previous week. Today, I increased the light intensity back up to 75% to see how they respond. The plants were already showing signs of improvement, so I hope they handle the boost well. Midweek, temperatures dropped, and humidity levels rose, with the tent conditions hitting around 25-26ºC (77-78.8ºF) and 55-60% humidity. While not ideal, I'm working on maintaining better control. Throughout the week, I removed some of the lower leaves to improve airflow and prevent potential moisture issues. I've been watering daily with around 1 liter per plant. However, I noticed some nutrient burn on the tips of the FullGas plants. To address this, I did a reset of the rockwool with about 5 liters of water, adjusted to 2.0 EC and a pH of 6.1. The Moweeto and Lime Cheese didn’t show signs of nutrient excess, so I only adjusted their feeding on the last day to match the EC 2.0. The Blueberry Pancakes has been showing signs of manganese deficiency. I’ve done multiple resets on the rockwool, suspecting a pH imbalance might be the cause, but the plant hasn't shown any signs of improvement. I’m beginning to suspect it could be infected with Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd), which might explain the persistent issue. Overall, despite some challenges, the plants are progressing well, and I’m hopeful about their continued development as they settle into the next stage of flowering!

Last run of the growing season. Biscotti Mintz by Barney's Farm. I wasn't satisfied with the last crop's yield so i wanted another crack at it. This time I'm armed with a digital Lux meter so i can better dial in the light without the guesswork. Looking to start the clones off with between 5000 and 7000 LUX at the canopy. But i didn't like the brightness at 8000 so i upped it to 15,000 Lux. I think the 5k to 8k Lux recommendations for clones was for clones in the process of rooting. Recommended Lux values for vegging plants is between 15,000 and 50,000 Lux. They were very lanky with long internodal spacing which I thought might be insufficient lighting. Because the other Biscotti Mintz grows and research i've done, shows a very bushy indica trait growth pattern. So either i have a shitty pheno, or my lighting wasn't good enough. I'm guessing it was the light because preliminary testing with the Lux meter showed that my canopy was quite under lit last run. Again using 3 gallon pots, this time i am crossing my fingers with the substrate because it is reused coco that i washed and buffered myself. I've never done this before so i have no idea what's going to happen. For all i know they will all be dead in a few days lol. Anyways, i tested the coco pH last night, and after buffering with 2x strength calmag and soaking the coco in a 6.0 pH for 48 hours, the pH is sitting around 6.8 in the coco. Not where I wanted it, but it's doable. I believe the coco brand new out of the bag measures at 6.8 so... I will be watering in 6.0 pH to try to achieve a balance. Treating the roots before planting with Azos and dusting the planting hole with Mykos. The nutrient solution is very mild to start off. About 450ppm. Hygrozyme will be added to the mix and watered in to help break down the old dead root matter that wasn't able to be sifted out of the coco. The cellulase will break those roots down into usable food for the plant to uptake, and clean up the dead roots at the same time. Hygroben will also be added because i have some left from the last crop. And after seeing the results of using bacteria, i'm pretty sold on using it. Today is March 4th, 2024. I like to start on the first of the month but i like starting on Monday's better for keeping my weed soaked brain organized a little easier. I'm thinking to do half strength doses 2x per week instead of full doses 1x per week. It's twice the mixing, but that's ok. There will be 7 plants in total, and the experiment i am running this time, for anyone that wants to check out, is 1 of the plants i will do a seriously severe defoliation on while leaving the rest untouched. And we'll see how it plays out yield wise. I'm sure of the outcome already, but I'm tired of the babbling dummies all over the place that preach fan leaves fan leaves... So we shall see! I had the pH of the nutrient solution set to 6.0 but after adding the enzyme and liquid bacteria, the pH dropped to 5.78, so beware of that if you use those products, even though they claim not to affect the pH. The light dimmer is set to 6 of 10. The clip fan is set to 2 of 10. Temps set to 74F and humidity set to 70% humidity. The light is 18 inches from the canopy at a dimmer setting of 6, which gives the canopy 15,000 Lux. Each plant was gently watered with about 300ml of nutrient solution, which was carefully and gently dispensed with a 140CC syringe Hope they like what i've done with the place lol. P.S. I realized that the 5000 to 7000 Lux was for clones that are rooting. So I had the lux at 12,000 at 18 inches from the plants at a dimmer value of 5. I've now upped the dimmer to 6. Tomorrow i'll check the lux and see where it's at. The clones have just come out of the dome today so i don't want to push them too aggressively too fast. MARCH 5, 2024 I just tested the Par light reading on BM #1 and the BM right in the center. BM #1 Par reading is 247. Center plant is 270. Light dimmer is at 6 and light is now 13 inches from plant canopy. MARCH 9, 2024 Fed again today. There is some progress in growth. 1/2 inch increase. The clones have been upset getting adjusted to their new environment. I've upped the dimmer to 7 and the PPFD and DLI numbers are good. Humidity remains set at 70% and temperature is set to trigger the fan at 78F Light remains where it was so the plants have grown 1/2 so the light will be 12 inches above the canopy. Mixed up 2 liters of nutrients and the ppm was 555, and the pH was adjusted to 6.15. 2ml Per liter of hygrozyme and hygroben were also added. Clones have curled leaves and a perky/droopy stature. The leaf edges are browning a little bit. I'm not sure whats happening with them other than it's just the effects of transplanting and drastic environmental change. What i'm wondering is how they will/are reacting to the used coco underneath? We press on with fingers crossed! 🙏😁

She is doing her thing gave her a good defoliate again to open her up. She had 3 x half ml doses of pk on top of 3ml bloom over the coarse of the week. Pk dropped bloom kept at 3ml. Overall very impressed halfway through this week in the video and boom baby she’s getting there

Esta cosecha fue muy buena con excelentes resultados de flores muy compactas y demasiado resinosas , la genética en sí es muy resinosa con olor muy característico , con sabores terrosos muy marcados .

29.8. Plants look just amazing! I dont add any nutritions... Just bionova powder nutritions in start which i get from zamnesia 💪 maybe i found right nutritions for my plants 31.8. I will leave those beautys for few days more 😍 i cant wait to taste this buds! 2.9. Another week more and they are done 🤟 so far im impressed 🚀

sweeeeeeeeet 😎

I think 1/2 weeks she will be ready for

Lots of good growth this week. Continuing to tie branches down as she grows. Doing 1 last tie down session tonight, and starting a gradual switch from 18/6 to 12/12 accompanied by a gradual lowering of the blue spectrum over the next next week.

📆 Semana 7 La Variegated Sour GPP sigue desarrollándose con carácter propio y mucha presencia. Los cogollos han seguido compactándose, y esa estructura tan peculiar, similar a una coliflor apretada, se acentúa cada vez más. Es una forma poco común, pero muy llamativa, que aporta un contraste interesante respecto al resto del cultivo. La densidad de las flores y la distribución de la resina van en aumento, lo que indica que la planta está en plena madurez floral. En cuanto a la nutrición, sigo aplicando el plan de XpertNutrients, sin ajustes por ahora. La planta responde bien, se nota cómoda y sigue absorbiendo de forma eficiente. El riego se mantiene controlado, respetando los ciclos húmedo-seco que tan bien le están sentando. La iluminación con los Adlite continúa rindiendo al máximo: la homogeneidad en la exposición está favoreciendo una floración uniforme, y las puntas lucen cubiertas de resina, incluso en las zonas menos protagonistas. Las condiciones ambientales permanecen estables, con temperaturas entre 22 y 25 °C y una humedad en torno al 55%. Gracias a la circulación constante de aire, no se han detectado signos de hongos o estrés por condensación. El aroma se ha intensificado notablemente esta semana. Predominan las notas ácidas típicas del linaje Sour, pero ahora se suman toques más picantes y herbales que complejizan el perfil. Los tricomas siguen en su mayoría lechosos, sin presencia significativa de ámbar aún. Puede que no haya mostrado variegación, pero la expresión morfológica y aromática de esta planta es singular y muy prometedora. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Harvesting An ELEPHANT !!! And after 118 day from seed and 101 from wen she started her mix veg/flowering process, i cant say for sure but i am starting to believe that this auto world do veg, then veg and flower in conjunction for a wile and only after they a wile they move to a flowering stage completely but thats another post another day lol today was harvest day for this Auto Elephant from SSSC , and let me tel you she is a delight with huge fruits, so big that i normally cut and hang the all plant and for this i did not take the risk of doing that and getting bud rot , better safe than sorry, so what i broke her in smaller peaces and put it all in the rack. Now not much to do than waiting for it to get around 10/15% humidity and jar with it all. This one as you guys can see from the video , this is a full covered in trichomes BIG MAMA and touching her is like touching super glue or something lol i was trying to put all the colas in one picture , but is simply just not possible , they all look great so i selected 4 of them for a true back back ground <3 Thank you Super Sativa Seed Club for this opportunity, i fell like a champion no matter what with this 2 Mamas, much respect on the work you guys did on this Elephant As always thank you all for stoping by for your love and for it all, i fell humble and honored

J’ai coupé et mis à sécher 1 des 3 . Après 3 bon rinçage j’attends que le substrat est bien séchée avant de couper les 2 autre.

First week of flowering. The plant will stretch, so i adjusted the LED dimmer to 100%. Did a good defoliation too. Doing good, very healthy. Smell very good.

All good. Lamp is set to be closer we will see how it helps hopefully.

This week the buds bulked up, more resin and seem to finally be showing some color with the Cooling of the temps naturally. The plant on the right had gotten some light burn so that’s why some of the leaves are lookin burnt. Plant on the left might be the one of the most beautiful I’ve witnessed flowering yet. Can’t wait to see what the next couple of weeks bring!!!

12.04.21 heute is Anfang der 4. Woche nach dem flip bin begeistert von den Ladys sie sind obwohl sie so viel stress mit machen mussten fleißig am blutenstände produzieren die trichom Produktion hat auch gut eingesetzt jedes mal wenn ich die Blätter unters netz schiebe und wenn ich gegen die Blüten komme kleben meine Hände und wenn das passiert verströmt sie einen angenehm cremigen Duft nach zitrone fast schon limoncello artig....... 13.04.21 hab heute mal wieder gegossen und wie immer jeden morgen Blätter unten halten sonnst war nix weiter.... 14.04.21 moin leute der trottel des Tages ist wieder da hab mir heute (2 Tage nach dem gießen) meine gedanken gemacht bezüglich des absetzen der dünge Zusätze aufgrund von Green Sensation hab gedacht 4 in eins dann kann der rest ja weg und bin heute mal zufällig drauf gekommen beim Hersteller auf der Homepage zu gucken und siehe da ich trottel hätte sugar royal ganz normal weiter laufen lassen können werde es dann beim nächsten Guss wieder mit einschieben. Hab heute den Reflektor auf ganz weit gestellt damit ich mit der Lampe weiter runter komme bin jetzt heute auf 30cm an die spitzen gegangen und werde am Freitag weitere 5 cm nach unten gehen also auf 25 cm an die spitzen ran fahren da ich bei offenem wing und 30 cm nur 23,5 Grad an den spitzen habe solange die Pflanzen keine Stress Erscheinungen auf 25cm erleiden und die Temperatur stimmt bleib es dann auch auf 25 cm bis zur Spülung... 15.04.21 habe doch heute schon die Lampe auf 25 cm gesetzt bin wieder zu ungeduldig 24std hat der Tag das ist einfach zu lang für meine Geduld 😁 hab sonnst nur wie immer dafür gesorgt das alles an blattwerk sich unterm netzt hält.... 16.04.21 hab es heute mal nur laufen lassen und beobachtet was die Blätter so machen muss morgen eindeutig wieder ran und unters netz stopfen 😒😒.... 17.04.21 hab heute wieder die Blätter unters netz gestopft sonnst weiter nix los gewesen. Die Ladys halten die 25cm Lampen Abstand ganz gut aus bis jetzt, Temperatur liegt bei 25,4 Grad also noch vertretbar denke ich. Mal gucken was die Ladys bis Montag zum Licht druck sagen, wenn die spitzen heller werden geh ich zur not lieber wieder nen Stück hoch mit der Lampe..... 18.04.21 hab heut das gleiche wie jeden Tag gemacht, ich hab versucht die Welt-Herrschaft an mich zu reißen 😁😁, ne spass bei seite wie immer Blätter drücken und giessen war heut auch dran. Die Woche lief auch wieder erstaunlich gut hab zwar noch ne ganze ecke vor mir mit den Ladys aber ich bin zuversichtlich......

Took some more foliage off, she is about 95 cloudy 5 amber on the tops so we got like 1 or 2 weeks left before the chop, started slowing down on the nutes and just topping the rezzy with water and will start flushing 2 days before I decide to harvest but I think we will call her good next Sunday and chop at 16 weeks if everything is looking good!

So, eventful week. Prior to putting my seeds into my system, my light and rdwc system was left on as I was dialling in the growing environment before placing the seeds as a final home. My only issue was I had a light leak BEFORE putting the foil top covers on the clay pebbles. Long story short, I got algae which ended up turning to root rot. I spotted it very swiftly and did a res change adding beneficial bacteria to the system along with the base products of remo nutrients. A few days later new growth and recovery is taking place. Day 16- Fully back on track, new roots shooting out into the water and the growth rate has picked up as it should. Foliar feeding twice a day for a little boost until the root system establishes a bit more. Huge changes in just a day. Can't wait to see what a week's growth looks like. Really loving the sunset/sunrise feature on the trolmaster, something I got to experience watching recently! Watching by closely to make sure everything stays in track. Stay tuned for the next one 😉
