16.04.2024 Continue into week 7 Replaced all filters in the system and cleaned them. Mixed a new batch with the following components: 56ml AN Connoisseur Bloom A+B Total volume: 34 liters Electrical Conductivity (EC): 1.1 Target EC for this week: 1.0-1.1. Adjustments will be based on plant observations. Performed one long misting session (3 minutes). Environmental Conditions: Outside temperatures going down, today is raining but this week is lower in temperatures Smallest Wedding Cheesecake: Great bud development, already buds are hard and juicy. Exceptional odors Tropicana Cookies: Phenomenal strain; One girl is going to finish before 8 weeks Purple Lemonade: Tall plants, think ist finish flowering the last Lighting Parameters: PAR Map: Maximum PPFD is 850, minimum PPFD is 600. VPD: Ranges from -1.2 to -1.3. Daytime Temperature (DT): 24-25°C. Nighttime Temperature (NT): 20-21°C. Leaf Temperature: 22-23°C. Light Distance: 45-55 cm from the plants. CO2 Levels: 700+ ppm. HLG Scorpion Diablo: Set at 60%, positioned at a 45-55 cm distance. Daytime: ON for 70 seconds, followed by 25 minutes OFF. Nighttime: OFF for 70 seconds, followed by 35 minutes OFF. Nutrient Tank (NT): pH: Maintained between 5.90 and 6.10. EC: 1.20. Temperature: 20-21°C 18.04.2024 Mixed a 15-liter solution with 20+30ml AN Connoisseur AB . The liquid temperature is 18.8°C. Replaced all filters in the system and cleaned them The outside temperature getting lower this days. Its help a lot to maintain temps in grow box I hope, as per the forecast, temperature will remain low during the upcoming week. The ladies are looking fantastic. Purple Lemonade is slowest on flowering but i think it will be rewarding to wait Tropicana Cookies are racing toward harvest; . Lighting Parameters: PAR Map: Maximum PPFD is 900, minimum PPFD is 650. VPD: Ranges from -1.2 to -1.3. Daytime Temperature (DT): 23-24°C. Nighttime Temperature (NT): 20°C. Leaf Temperature: 22°C. Light Distance: 45-55 cm from the plants. CO2 Levels: 700+ ppm. HLG Scorpion Diablo: Set at 70%, positioned at a 45-55 cm distance. Misting Schedule: Daytime: ON for 70 seconds, followed by 25 minutes OFF. Nighttime: OFF for 70 seconds, followed by 35 minutes OFF. Nutrient Tank (NT): pH: Maintained between 5.90 and 6.10. EC: 1.1. Temperature: 20-21°C 20.04.2024 Today, we had a storm accompanied by a power outage. Nothing serious, just a few hours. The temperature and humidity remained within appropriate values. Upon the return of power, the DH48-S relay timer, which controls irrigation, failed again. This has happened for the third time in the last 4 months. Unfortunately, I couldn’t react immediately, so the ladies were without water again for a few hours. I’ve ordered a TrolMaster program device and additional sensors AMP-3 for pH, EC and humidity, and temperature control. No more messing around! Water consumption is gradually decreasing, and electrical conductivity of the water is slowly rising. I’m starting to reduce the strength of the nutrient solution. Each subsequent tank refill will be at approximately 1.0EC. The outdoor temperature is still cooler; let’s hope it stays that way for another week or two! 🌱❄️ Mixed a 15-liter solution with 25+25ml AN Connoisseur AB . The liquid temperature is 18.8°C. Replaced all filters in the system and cleaned them Lighting Parameters: PAR Map: Maximum PPFD is 900, minimum PPFD is 650. VPD: Ranges from -1.2 to -1.3. Daytime Temperature (DT): 23-24°C. Nighttime Temperature (NT): 20°C. Leaf Temperature: 22°C. Light Distance: 45-55 cm from the plants. CO2 Levels: 700+ ppm. HLG Scorpion Diablo: Set at 70%, positioned at a 45-55 cm distance. Misting Schedule: Daytime: ON for 70 seconds, followed by 25 minutes OFF. Nighttime: OFF for 70 seconds, followed by 35 minutes OFF. Nutrient Tank (NT): pH: Maintained between 5.90 and 6.10. EC: 1.12 Temperature: 20-21°C 22.04.2024 Tropicana Cookies is the only one that got scars in the form of slightly burnt leaf tips. It’s not too severe; due to the lack of water, some mineral residue remained directly at the root. All in all, it could have been worse. I hope the timer won’t deceive me again until my TrolMaster program device arrives. One Tropicana Cookies and one Wedding Cheesecake will finish during the next week, so I’ll slowly start preparing them for harvest. Purple Lemonade and one Wedding Cheesecake will continue flowering into the ninth week, but they’ll be the largest ladies in this batch. All the ladies look and smell fantastic, and the buds are already firm to the touch, especially the Wedding Cheesecake. Starting tomorrow, I’ll gradually reduce the nutrient strength and light intensity. I’ll make an effort to keep the temperature around 23-24°C.

Everything going okay ..

Bud development coming along well, all plants are now fully in flowering 🎯 Don’t know if I should be worrying about the yellow leaf tips on my west coast OG 🤠 it’s growing really well though

almost done. dense nugs. smells and looks greatv

Buenas a tod@s... Octava semana de flora de las tropicanna poison de sweet seed... Más allá de las marcas de "excesos" en las hojitas, q no se x q x q no me paso y a pesar de que podrían estar más grande ( fallo mío) la planta está DPM..🔥⚡🤯😱 está y se la ve compactada y tanto está como las demás, se las nota que pesan, que prometen y que yo no subestimaria x su altura, están muy bien y ya en la etapa casi final... Ya no les queda mucho, en verdad el calendario marca que ya está en etapa final, pero les falta aún más días, disfruten del paisaje que en breve se nos va 🙏🏻🙌🏻💪🏻💪🏻😎⚕️ 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

Flower kicked

Chopped her two days into week 14. What else. Buds. There are a lot of them. And they are quite large. And they look like they will require little effort to trim. What more can I wish for? I am a very happy man. Upd 1: Trimming is SO SIMPLE! Not much sticking out to begin with, because of the amazing bud structure and me plucking most bud node fans. Solid nugs which are not bothered by anything, so pulling smaller sub-bud fans is very simple too, while the buds are what I would call moist. I'll call this Moist Trim 😄 ✂️✂️✂️ Went for the best trimming tools available on the market (well at least my research concluded so) and LOVING every minute of trimming with the B-500SRF. Why would I or anyone else use something less suitable or less comfortable for such a delicate and long job is beyond me, except if you cannot afford one right now, in which case I wish you to experience it one day. Fiskars are also very good in therms of the blades, coating and cutting ability and precision, but the spring is just too stiff, like way, way to stiff for something that is to be used for hours on end. One might argue that such spring force helps overcome resin buildup, but please just rinse your instrument regularly in an appropriate solvent (ethy, iso, whatever — consider you instrument materials as well) and wipe it after. Why would you let significant amounts of resin to accumulate on such a gentle and precise tool? Kinda defeats the purpose?

Starting to get some nice frosty flowers. The cycling UVB has really made the terps start early. She is getting smelly which is great - a bit behind the others, but so far she is healthy and stretching well. Regular tea and water regimen and weekly nutes. I plan to add another layer of topsoil with nutes next week. Humidity control has been a slight issue. After watering I am typically hitting 80 - 85 rH - so will need to watch this. I could open the grow room door to reduce the rH but then I lose the CO2 buildup. Will stay the course for now.

28.8 Eight week of flowering down. And topped plant is hanging to dry right now. And two others will go down either tomorrow or two days more. Both sisters alive have almost all white buds 😍 dank AF! Can't wait smoke this out. I have tried little what I have dryed on top of the lamp and man good stuff. These will have + one week to that stuff. Topped one that is hanging had about 5% amber trichomes when harvested maybe little more. So these are going to be on the spot. 👌 Ok Harvest update next. Happy growing all. I'll try to do my best to minim odors going out when harvesting...little hard when 30m3 apartement but I've managed it so far. Have to pull extra tent aside with carbon filter and fan when trimming and harvesting. Also Ona blocks and draft stoppers between doors works like a charm. 🙏 Oh and I've flushed these girls now for a week and a day..maybe two 😀 But even that one with just ne flush time smoke was smooth even it was dried o top of the hot lamp...

I was very shocked on how fast it grewand how much it produced very great strain a must for you Indica lovers very strong I went to about 80% red hairs perfect smoke a lot of cannabinoids and a lot of leftover sugar leaves great for lovers of bubble hash

As-alaam alaikum 🖖👽. Una nueva semana más. Puse a esta maravilla de criatura a régimen de 48 horas de completa oscuridad y miren como se transformó. Ahora comienza proceso de floración.

Que hay familia, nuestras única variedad con predominancia sativa, bastante vigorosa, flores bastante compactas vemos como van formándose y engordando, desprenden un aroma bastante dulce me recuerda al regaliz rojo. Humedad y temperatura controladas dentro de los parámetros.

Excited to start my second grow (even though I haven't finished the first grow). I need to apply what I've learned before I forget and screw these plants, too! Started another zskittles seed 3/1 and planted 3/2. I kind of lost the first seed in the soil while planting (don't ask). I still left Skittles # 1 just to see what happens ¯_(ツ)_/¯. 3/4 - The seed that I thought was lost deep in the soil actually popped up a little near the edge. I G E N T L Y relocated the root to the center and buried it a 1/4 in down. Very excited that I didn't blow this plant! So it looks like i'll be growing 3 plants this time around. Ambitious for a newb? Very much so.

last week

Plants made it through the hurricane that came up the east coast and have been looking great! Trichomes are starting to show up left and right while the buds get bigger each day. The smell on the blueberry and mother of Berry is very fruity, while gelato x gmo smells more like diesel. Will most likely give plants another round of Jobes organics to help them through flower

This beauty is the Choco Kush auto, from Amsterdam genetics, she is 9 weeks old, started flowering at around 4 weeks. First part of her life she was just in the growing tent, the last 4 weeks she has been sunbathing in the garden, for about 10 hours almost everyday. In the night she is back in the growing tent. So 24 hours light program, LED combined with sunlight. She loves her nutrients from biobizz in every water, the ration is 3-4 ml per 1 litre water. She received about 2 times in the first 5 weeks of life the boomboom spray. She is a midget. But a midget beast with some beautiful flowers, that stink in the entire garden.
