Since I'm playing catch up with documenting my first grow cycle, I'm going to combine weeks and just give updates. I mentioned in the last weekly comment about adding the wicking bases and how that can be potentially problematic. Well here's where I noticed the issue but mostly with the Orange Sherbet sativa. I started noticing changes in color and leaves that didn't look good to me. Fortunately, I have a couple of great friends who also grow and have been able to take advantage of their knowledge and experience along the way. I highly recommend doing this if you have friends who also grow. Anyway, I had one of my friends come over and it was determined that the issue was due mainly to overwatering. We decided that with the wicking bases in addition to the humidity level in the tent, that the plant was staying too wet. Catching this quickly and addressing it is huge with autos since they tend to be more delicate that regular plants (as I understand things anyway). To address the overwatering issue, I immediately stopped using the wicking bases and let the plants dry out for about a week. I did no watering at all for the week but kept the humidifier going. That really helped correct what was going on. I then decided that I was no longer going to use the wicking bases at all and only do top watering. You'll see as I move forward with documenting this grow cycle, that I changed my mind again on this once the plants went into flower. But hey, what do you expect, this was my first ever grow.

2nd Week of Flower! I think? Looking back on my calendar and pics on my phone that we’re never uploaded, my guess is, we are on second week. These pics and video are from August 11th, day 75 post germ. It’s also very possible the two big gurls began flowering at different ends of the week. The nutrients used this week were applied once during day 76. In addition with a thick top dressing comprised of the following: [insert composition here] [Mushroom Compost as base media, dolomite lime, gypsum, muriate of potash, triple super phosphate, kelp meal, bone meal, seabird guano, Texas Greensand, black soldier fly insect frass, Earthworm Castings!, neem cake, bat guano] Stuff like the triple super phosphate and muriate of potash were used in very small amounts. But I used them to increase the density of available phosphates and more importantly for the available potash. Keeping it small because I know the microbes don’t like stuff at those density levels. Will be compensating with a little extra molasses. The weather has improved to sunny most the day with afternoon clouds breaking the hotter section, opening back up for a bright evening and sunset. The average high has been 86F during the day, while dropping to 54F during the night. The coming week is forecasted an average refreshing high of only 78F with nights not much cooler, still averaging at 54F! The increase in afternoon moisture levels is playing a huge role in this grow. Helping to maintain a better VPD for these Ladies while shortening the range of temperature flux from day and night. I know 54F sounds cold, but this is the high desert at 7,000 feet elevation. Pure Indica x Blueberry measures an impressive 49” Tall while Planet of The Grapes x Blueberry measures in at 34” Tall

Nothing special to report. Started with bloom nutrients. Everything going fine I noticed from the start this will take more than 10 weeks. Curious how long they will exactly take to be ready. Happy holidays!

I was under watering quite a bit in an attempt to make sure I didn’t flush out the benes and nutrients of the super soil. Ironically, I might have killed all the benes. Lol. Either way, they’re getting about 1 gal every other day now. Growing strong. Looks like my super soil mix might have been a little hot for this one. Just did another spinosad treatment. I haven’t seen any more thrips in the greenhouse since the first treatment 10 or so days ago. Saw a leaf hopper in there though 😡

Week 4: I somehow managed to overwater 2 of my cuties. Having a humidifier + the fan not being properly positionend kinda lead to this. However, they are now looking stronger again and back on track.

The blackberry cake feminised has had a slight defoliant at the her base. There’s a sign of deficiency as some of the plants inner leaves are yellowing. She seems to be holding up well with her stigmas fully swollen. The lady has received a dose of chicken poo and a swig of compost tea. She will need close monitoring for the next 3 weeks. The Blackberry cake has slowed down in growth gaining 2-3cm in height this week standing approximately 68cm tall!

At the beginning of the week I added a duct fan and ran a duct to the window for more fresh spring air. They seem to like it. After adding the air intake I didn't pay them much attention this week. I trusted the process They seem to be doing ok. I wonder?

#1 Blütewoche 7/8 #2 Blütewoche 9/10 Blütewoche 2- 8: Die volle Blüte Die Blüte ist in vollem Gange! Die Pflanzen haben sich kräftig und leider diesmal zu unkontrolliert gestreckt. Wir sind der Sativa Genetik aufgrund mangelnder Zeit und schlechtem Lichtmanagment nicht so ganz Herr geworden. Wir haben versucht den DLI sukzessive durch höhenregultion auf 40-45 anzuheben jedoch wohl erst zu spät. Aufgrund der zu ungleichmäßigen ausleuchtung im für diebLampe zu großen "Zelt" wurde eine zweite GCX9 installiert. Der Düngeplan bleibt unverändert. * Zustand der Pflanze: Enorm kräftiger Blütestretch, Stiele kaum zu kontrollieren * Wichtige Ereignisse: Anhebung des DLI. * Düngung & Messwerte: * Gießwasser: pH ca. 6,3. Leitwert 1,4 bis 2 S. * Drain: Wir stellen sicher, dass der pH-Wert nicht unter 5,5 und nicht über 6,8 liegt und der Leitwert die +/- 500 S Abweichung einhält. * Anpassungen: Einsatz von Haltestangen, Einbau einer zweiten GCX9 zur besseren Ausleuchtung und Inbetriebnahme eines GC Signal zur Sonnen Auf- und Untergangssimulaion Blütewoche 9 bzw 10 Letzte Woche/n vor der Ernte: Das große Finale Das große Finale naht! Der Tangie Ghost Train nähert sich mit einer Blütezeit von 9-10 Wochen dem Erntefenster. Ab heute wird die Pflanze täglich nur noch mit Osmosewasser gespült, bis das Drainwasser klar durchläuft. Dies soll alle überschüssigen Nährstoffe enfernen und und für ein sauberes und geschmackvolles Endprodukt sorgen die Meinungen gehen dabei auch bei uns auseinander und das Endprodukt und auch der Ertrag sind nicht spürbar schlechter wenn man spült jedoch spart man Geld bzw. Rohstoffe also spricht aus unserer Sicht nichts dagegen. Die Trichome werden genau beobachtet, um den perfekten Erntezeitpunkt zu bestimmen. * Zustand der Pflanze: Ernte rückt näher. Die Trichome sind langsam zum großen Teil milchig. * Wichtige Ereignisse: Beginn der Spülung. * Düngung & Messwerte: Es wird nur noch mit reinem Osmosewasser gespült. * Anpassungen: Zur gleichmäßigeren Ausleuchtung wurde eine zweite Lampe installiert jedoch sind dabei an dieser Pflanze einge Köpfe gerollt. Collateralschäden sind bei umbaumaßnahmen leider nicht selten. 🙄

Both Plants are beginning to stretch especially the second plant . I’m guessing they are about to start pre flowering . They’ve been super healthy. I just have a few leaves that go nutrients splashed on them so they’re looking a little burnt. I expected them to start flowering already but I’m not complaining .

Day 49 Plants had a little transplant shock from last week as they didn’t really grew much taller. I’m not 100% satisfied with how the veg stage went so far, but I learned a lot and will do better next time. I attached some gardening wire to some of the branches to create a more even canopy. Haven’t watered since last Saturday (transplant) as the soil is still wet and starts to dry out slowly now. Most likely I’ll flip them into flower in 2 weeks around Day 63. I appreciate every advice 🙏🏾

10/23: I fed today with One, sweet & sticky, signal, beastie bloomz, silica, and a little Ca/Mg 10/27: Fed today with one, signal, sweet & sticky, silica, beastie bloomz, kangaroots, and humic acid. Lowered the lights to no more than a foot from any cola..most are 7-9" away.

Woche 7: Die zweite Woche der Blütephase ging es der Blattmasse erstmal an den Kragen damit die Blüten auch etwas an Licht abbekommen 😅 Anfangs dachte ich, dass ich vielleicht etwas viel weggeneommen habe. Aber im Nachhinein hätte ich den unteren Bereich der Pflanzen deutlich radikaler Entlauben können. Ich war etwas zaghaft 😅 Ansonsten habe ich weiterhin versucht die große Skywalker zumindest etwas unter Kontrolle zu bringen.. Aber da sie fast doppelt so groß wie ihre Schwestern ist, bin ich schon in Planung einer zweiten Growbox. In dieser kann sie sich wenn es soweit ist ganz alleine austoben.. doch etwas muss sie sich noch gedulden.
