🌿 Woche 6 – Keine besonders gute Woche 👺 🌱 Wachstum & Training Zweite Blütewoche – und zack! Gleich zwei vielversprechende Triebe sind ausgefallen. 😭 💀 Den einen habe ich aus Versehen mit der Hand umgerissen (siehe Video). 👉 Der andere – und das ärgert mich noch viel mehr – war der Haupttrieb der dominanteren Guava. Beim täglichen LST ist er mir abgebrochen. 😰 🔻 Schätzung: Bis zu 10 g Ertragsverlust. 📊 Prognose Das Blätterdach hat nun zwei sichtbare Macken, aber der Rest entwickelt sich weiterhin solide. Vor den Verlusten lag meine Schätzung bei ~100 g Ertrag. Jetzt wird es schwer, die 100 g noch zu knacken. 😕 💧 Blumat 💧 Grade als ich anfing mich an den Blumat richtig zu gewöhnen, fängt er zu spinnen an. Er fing auf einmal an, viel zu trockene Werde zu liefern. Ganz merkwürdig. 😣 Und ich habe eine Woche lang jeden Workaround gemacht den man machen kann. Da war ich doch sehr Endtäuscht... Jetzt muss ich wieder mit dem Finger rein. 💩 💡 Licht & Schatten PPFD wird langsam, Step by Step erhöht. 📈 Aktuell ca. 600 µmol/m²/s. Je höher die Triebe wachsen, desto mehr Licht bekommen sie ohnehin. ☀️ ☀️ Wetter Die Temperaturen sind und bleiben brutal: 25–31 °C Die Lady´s schlagen sich tapfer unter diesen Bedingungen. 💧 Gießen 🕒 Alle 2–3 Tage 🚿 Jeweils 2,2 l Wasser 🎶 The Grow must go on! 🌱

Day 36 of flower Watering day 3 gallons of water ph to 5.87 With a runoff of 25% to 30% . 1 blue dream 1 I'm pretty sure its Afghan hindu kush not white kush Grow light: mars hyrdo tsw 2000 at 100% power 24inches above 🌞☀️ Medium: coco coir mix with compost at a 50/50 ratio with 30% perlite added⛰️ Nutrients: fox farm dirty dozen 🦊🚜 Grow space: 4x4x7 Water: tap water (my tap water is allows 110ppm) left out for at least 24hours

Did some defoliation this week also had some worm attacks one of the luxuries that comes with outdoor n they always seem to wait until the buds start to get pretty

🗓️ Week 7 Grow Journal Update 🌱✨ ✂️ This week was all about defoliation! I removed the older leaves to help the plants focus their energy on fresh new growth 💪🌿 — and they’re loving it! 🍋 Fast Buds Lemon Zkittlez is smelling incredible — a sweet, fruity mix with that sharp lemon zest punch 🍬🍋🔥 🍇 Grape Wedding Force is stacking up with a strong, solid structure — it’s looking like a powerhouse in the making 💒🌲💥 🌶️💜 Red Hot Violet is coming along beautifully with a structure perfect for LST — can’t wait to see her stretch and train

This week will unfortunately be the last. After a sweltering week of intense heat, the temperature reached 41°C in the tent and the pistils turned brown. I decided to throw everything away and start from scratch.

Transplanted to a 5 gallon pot half way through the week and heavily watered/fed for the next 2 days, then topped for the first time at the end of the week. I used to be so careful about topping plants but it doesn't really matter how heavy handed you are. Now it's about keeping the plants trained and the same height. 2 timelapses this week. Enjoy!

Started flush today been a good few days for putting on weight

End of week 6; Day 42 So far so good, Frost is setting in on the strawberry Gorilla. The cookies is stretching beyond belief and is about 55in tall from the floor up. The strawberry has stayed shorter and bushier than the cookies. Smell is also coming pretty strong. Happy Growing y'all

start to smell now. got some sweet fragrance. but buds kind of small. hopefully they will bulk up in size. no far no pests. no caterpillars no grasshoppers no aphids.

The main purpose of chlorophyll is to capture photons of energy. When growth is no longer a priority for a plant in nature, it will naturally sink its "no longer needed" nitrogen and switch pigments to carotene and anthocyanin, which are better-suited pigments for environmental protection rather than capturing photons (growth). This is because of all nutrients used by a plant, nitrogen in its nitrate form is highly stable and required for the rigours of electron capture, ammoniacal nitrogen readily evaporates into the air during cure/dry. The ripening stage is no longer about growth, but the main priority is protecting trichomes and opening up the oxidative capacity of the plant so it can focus 100% of filling those trichomes. Nitrogen in its elemental nitrate form is no longer required during ripening to the same degree as it was; the vast majority of growth is over. Understanding when to shift a plant's focus from rapid growth to maturation is the key to maximizing the trichome quality and terpene profile of the final product. That is the single most important decision you will make during a grow in terms of dictating smoothness, taste, and smell, I have found from my limited years of dedicated and driven study into the matter. Synthetic nutrients maintain a near full nitrate ratio comparable to ammoniacal nitrogen, whereas organic nutrients maintain a supply of ammoniacal and convert only to nitrate what is needed. This is far more beneficial for organic growers when it comes to smoke smoothness, as the higher levels of ammoniacal nitrogen are far easier to dispose/convert than nitrates come harvest, cure/dry with far more efficient margins held within leaf/bud when it comes to conversion to aminos. A good dry and cure can go a long way to a quality smooth smoke, but without a proper senescence sequence or triggered autophagic sink of nitrogen, then you will be asking far more than can be expected from a dry/cure. It's one thing to sink the last 5-10% and convert the last drips to amino acids during the dry and cure, but leaving the plant fully charged with nitrogen in the form of nitrate is simply not going to taste good, no matter how much smoke you blow up your own ass or how long you have been growing. Means nothing. Smoke quality relies on pre-harvest physiology, not just the dry and cure! The dry and cure cannot fix poor pre-harvest metabolic states. A high-quality, smooth smoke requires correct signalling before harvest. While a proper dry and cure can gently soften the edges and convert the last 5-10% of sugars into amino acids, it fundamentally cannot perform magic on a fully fertilised plant. You cannot oxidise stable nitrates (+5 charge) into a smoother state during drying. Ultimately, accept it's going to be a heavy smoke and be grateful, onwards upwards! The way in which ammoniacal nitrogen reacts to carbon sugars is critical in how it acts during oxidation and is responsible for oxidizing leftover sugars that can make the buds smoke harshly. Limited ammoniacal equals limited oxidation of excess carbons held within tissues. Just so you know, it's not an anecdotal rule that's unresolved and unsubstantiated. It's called the Maillard reaction. Signal triggers and stressors. Normally, you can only use 10-30% ammoniacal nitrogen, but as harvest closes, it is beneficial to increase this ratio 50% of ammoniacal as it assists in steering the plant towards maturation. Rather than running 50% ammoniacal nitrogen continuously until harvest, use it in short, targeted flushes/additions (e.g., 7 days) to slow internode elongation and hasten maturity. Use alongside forced larger "dry backs" (allowing the root zone to dry out significantly between watering events). Raising the Electrical Conductivity EC of the medium to create mild osmotic stress. Widening the day-to-night temperature difference and increasing the vapour pressure deficit VPD. How would you like your cola's sir? Arm length, please, no gaps with trichomes as thick as snow.

Welcome to my second grow of the Blue Dream strain. This girl was veg'd for 14 week in a small pot while my first grow of this strain is in the flowering room. She didn't gain much more in size, despite the extra veg time, probably due to lower levels of nutes and the smaller pot size. Still she's looking good after moving her to the big pot and giving her a trim. Thanks for checking out my grows!

=============================
 📅 Week 15 – Flowering Days: 99–105 
Dates: 17/07–23/07 
Strains: RQS Critical (3x), RQS White Widow (1x)

Overall I'm extremely pleased with the grow and yield I got from using the Autopot system. By far my biggest yield yet. The clones were happy with the growing conditions and new setup. Would recommend the Autopots to anyone wanting to try something new or doesn't have the time to hand water or be with their plants 24/7. Also collected some decent kief/pollen from the dried leaves which can be used for smoking, making of hash or dab. Still deciding what I'll do with it. Thanks for making the effort to view my dairy, see you with the next one. Much love and happy smoking my fellow growers.

This week the flowers really started to bulk up. I was worried about having very loose buds as the development starts off very slow but eventually they really bulk up nicely!! The topped plant is about 2 weeks behind in flower but has way more main collas! Check the last video for both plants

Time for the stretch! Lots of flowering growth happening now. I can see where the bud spots will be so I’m going to have to stop moving the branching around in the Scrog, also the branches are getting thick and less pliable.

So this was a simple going grow!!! It’s strange how the hot so big under the light! I had one blue cheese under the same light and tent and it was way smaller!! Anyway 1 of these has come out perfect very happy the other two I’m not to sure the hairs were still pointing up but I really don’t have the time to have them going another week there already over the time they was supposed to be done but yeah I’d say out of 10 I’d rate this blue cheese growing experience a 6 out of 10 hopefully this improves when it’s dry!!!
