Hard to believe it's been another week. These beautiful girls are growing great. They're definitely swelling amazing especially at the top colas. Starting to see some faded leaves so I think I'll back down my nutes from 1050 to around 800. All in all Happy Growing.

Fractal #2 - Week Update 🌿 Quick update on Fractal #2! Brought her inside next to the open grow box to spare her from extreme cold for a few more days. She’ll finish strong indoors with supplemental light. Watering only when soil is almost dry - keeping it minimal in the final stretch! Thanks to everyone for checking in! 🙏 Appreciate you taking a look!

Die Pflänzchen sind aktuell immernoch am stretchen. Ich muss die Lampe nahezu jeden Tag weiter wegstellen. Alle sind absolut gesund, keine Anzeichen auf Spinnmilben, Nährstoffbrand oder ähnliches. Die Fächerblätter sind teilweise riesig. Gestern habe ich gegossen, die 30 Liter im Becken wurden innerhalb eines Tages aufgenommen. Ich hab aktuell (dem Sommer entsprechend) meine Lüftung auf dem Maximum plus Luftentfeuchter aber ich habe Probleme die Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit in Griff zu kriegen. Im Zelt selbst sind 3 Ventilatoren aufgebaut, ein oszilierender richtiger Ventilator und 2 Schreibtisch Mini Ventilatoren. Damit ich wenigstens die Luftzirkulation im Griff habe. Alles in allem etwas chaotisch aber trotz der nicht optimalen bedingungen explodieren die Pflänzchen förmlich.

Germinadas directamente desde su eppendorf al medio de germinado en tupper mediano con agua desclorada desmineralizada a 20° al momento de rociar las servilletas. Puestos en oscuridad y con una manta térmica que va entre los 20 24°C. A las 32hs se observa que 3 de 4 abren su cascarón, a las 72hs ya estaban con radicula de 2cm +-. Puestas en jiffys de turba hidratados con 50%agua desclorada a 20°C y luego de exprimir el exceso de agua al jiffy fueron colocadas en un tupper propagador con ventilas muy pequeñas.

According to the website, it takes 8 to 9 weeks to flower, and we’re now entering the eighth week, so I’m already counting down the days until I can chop this girl! From now on, I’m only watering with plain water until the finish. 💚

So this plant grew huge, was put in the ground at around 3 weeks old and she took of from there. I topped it around a week after she went in ground and believe it was the perfect time as all side branches shit up as well as the 2 main heads. Biggest auto I’ve done to date including any indoor. She didn’t get the attention it deserved and not much feed went into this plant she just lived of the soil and rain. Will certainly try this strain again. Well done to tastebudz for this amazing auto and big thank you to them for letting me try there strains! Happy growing🌱

Désolé mais pendant plusieurs jour je n arrivé plus à charger mon journal ? Bref dernière arrosage avec nutriments ;) on y arrive tous doucement . Autrement j ai eu un petit départ de bud rot sur la melon gum (rien de méchant 2 calices coincé entre 3 immense têtes ;) j ai donc enlever les 2 têtes et désinfecté aux mieux (les 2 têtes n avez rien j ai donc pu les goûter hier soir et j doit dire l effet est vraiment sympa ;)

Jour42 defolliation and LST Jour45 defolliation Jour47 arrosage avec de l'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 1ml par litre d'eau de topmax biobizz La plante entre maintenant en floraison c'est donc le début du stretch Explication en anglais (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common. May the force be with you 💪

Buenas noches familia, sorpresa, jueves noche por aquí , actualizamos las power plant xL. Es la última semana antes de nuestra cosecha, el tiempo se nos echó encima y las Flores ya están echas, se preparó un lavado de raíces y tijeretazo,para sucesivamente colgarlas.( PRIMERA VEZ que se me echa el tiempo encima con la floración, jurao) Me habría gustado darles algo de estrés hídrico, pero lo veremos con las lemon kush y las northern light xL. -power plant xL es una cepa con predominancia sativa, con una corta floración,es un ejemplar fácil de cultivar, fuerte, y vigoroso. Estos ejemplares se cultivaron en 7L en sustrato light MIX de plagrOn, controlando en todo momento el PH de nuestras plantas, y dándoles de comer una gama advanced nutrients bastante básica. -PROS: facil cultivar, flores llenas de resina , flores compactas, ramas laterales largas. -CONTRAS: hay que tutorar por el peso de la flor, floración demasiado rápida a mi gusto (no te das ni cuenta). *Aquí ya me despido hasta la cosecha familia.

Overall, the Girls are doing great. #2 is still showing some nitrogen excess, but is doing well. I’ve adjusted her feeding specifically in hopes to correct. #1 is not showing the same issue, and is motoring along. Both are stacking nicely, and are bringing on some smell now, and are sticky to the touch. I estimate about 3 weeks more, but who really knows with Autoflowers? Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

je note une forte décoloration des feuille.. J'ai tranché pour un manque de nutriment.. On verras bien. 05/05/22 soir: Défoliation du bas. Bon.. C'est trop tard mais ca m'arrange pour arroser et observer. C'est étrange que même l'aspect de la terre en surface change a ce point.😮 Ca reverdi. Donc c'était bien un manque, plus certainement un coup de froid. On a eu une coupure d'électricité une nuit très froide.
