Compost tea turned out well, let it go for 26 hours total and geared it towards fungal. Also took some soil samples several days later around the stalks and found a lot of nematodes and protozoa which is what you want to see. Lots of different types of nematodes so what your looking for are the bacterial feeders (there are charts online that show you how to identify them). Mycorrhizae can be identified by it's dark colour, uniformity and segmented nature. Testate amoebas live in a translucent shell like a snail and are easy to spot but hard to spot moving due to my shitty microscope, but look for the tentacles. Also found some eggs with movement inside, no idea what they are but they have vacuoles and flagella. She is really getting sticky and smelly now; berries with herb notes. You can see the resin stretching over the trichomes in the last pic. No signs of senescence yet so I'm not going to feed them, they should have plenty of food anyway as this is a second run of the same soil.

Turned amber shockingly fast. Kinda happened unexpectedly! Swapped to water flushing this week to help my baby burn off the last of her nutrients. Plan to harvest in the next two weeks. Gonna let her guide me. Happy growing.

Day 88, 30th of October 2020: I am just back from my holiday my friend looked after her really nice the 4th week already and buds are coming nicely along.... Great to see this beautiful lady very stinky by the way.... Smell is strong...🤪 She is very nice.... ;) I removed some leaves getting pointless to be as she focuses more on the buds.... Those leaves were removed from the top mostly.... Now she gets one day extra darkness and but previously she had more dark hours than 12 hours because she was removed in the morning and back in the evening because she is in the tent with other plants and they are in veg now....🤪🤣🤣 I just started changing the schedule for those as well so from tomorrow no need to remove her and putting back.... ;)

The plants are showing different levels of development and stress this week. The weather has been quite unpredictable lately. We've had daytime temperatures around 28°C, while some nights dropped as low as 8°C. On top of that, we've had temporary dry periods, strong winds and heavy rain showers. Basically, just business as usual in Northern Germany. 😂🌦️💨 Despite all of this, the ladies are pushing forward. 🌸 APPALACHIAN KUSH One of the Appalachian Kush plants was the first to start flowering, and she's continuing to push ahead. You can clearly see the buds getting larger and spreading further across the plant. 🌸 Her sister is also showing clear signs of flower production, although she is not nearly as far along yet. Interestingly, she's already showing an obvious reaction to the cold nights, with some of her leaves starting to turn purple. 💜🌿 🌱 GREEN POISON Green Poison has surprisingly caught up quite a bit, both in height and in flower development. She's also developed a beautiful, strong green colour, which is great to see. 💚🌱 🌿 GOLOSA Our little mutant Golosa has developed into exactly the kind of bushy plant we expected. 😂🌱 She's becoming a very interesting plant, and I'm really curious to see how she continues to develop over the coming weeks. I'm especially interested to see how she forms her flowers and what the final result will look like with her two naturally separating main branches. Definitely one to keep an eye on. 👀🌿 🖤 SIRIUS BLACK Sirius Black has developed a good structure and is also looking strong in terms of height. She's starting to form flowers as well. Unfortunately her overall colour still looks a little weaker compared to the other ladies. We may need to intervene again over the next few weeks if she doesn't catch up. 🌱👀 🌿 THIS WEEK'S FEEDING This week, all plants received a top dressing of 15 g Silicium Flash. In addition, they received a solution containing 1 g of Bactrex and 10 ml of Orgatrex. Now we'll give them some time and see how they respond to it. 🌱 We're hoping for some good weather and, even more importantly, strong resilience from the ladies over the next few weeks so they can handle whatever Northern Germany decides to throw at them. 😂🌦️💨 We're excited to see how everything develops from here and will keep a close eye on how the plants react. Let's see what the next weeks bring. 🤞🌱💚 🍅 TOMATOES The tomatoes are still keeping us supplied with plenty of incredibly delicious fruits. 🍅😍 We're honestly very grateful for this little bonus harvest from our balcony jungle. 💚🌱

Woche 13 ging nur zwei Tage. Für meinen Geschmack war die Pflanzen an Tag 58 ausreichend reif. Zuvor wurden ja schon die Headbuds geerntet, da es kleine Opfer an den Pilz gab. Die letzten Tage verbrachten die Pflanzen bei 48h dauerhafter Beleuchtung und abschließenden 12h Dunkelheit. Ob eines von beiden einen positiven Effekt hatte lässt sich nicht klären aber kaputt gehen, kann davon nicht viel und ich kann Argumente für beides nachvollziehen, von daher kombinieren wir mal beide Varianten. Alles in allem war es jeden Tag eine Freude das Zelt zu öffnen, zu sehen wie die Blümchen sich entwickeln und sich von ihrem Duft betören zu lassen. Da die Gesetzeslage es so möchte, werden nur 250g für den Konsum im Cannatrol getrocknet und gecured. Somit sollten wir rechnerisch bei 50g Trockengewicht auskommen. Der Rest landet in einem Wurmkomposter, um zumindest die aufgebrachte Energie nicht ganz zu verlieren. Bleibt Sauber! 💚🍀🌍

Seems to be on track 👣 daily height changes now, you can see between the two "groot" pics about 2 -3 days apart.

I will be growing this strain again. It took off from the start never had not one issue besides changing the light cycle in mid flower which was my fault due to I had to flower my photos witch caused the bud's to not be as dense as it could have been but I'm still satisfied and will grow only auto's or time it differently if growing with photos

Week 4 flower she is looking good, haven't been doing alot just full reservoir when empty thats all.

Thursday 16th march day 59 Harvested a couple days earlier then planned as my humidity was getting a bit high and worried about risking mold I decided to chop, have to get a good dehumidifier soon, everything looking lovely, nice and dense with very strong fruity potent smell definitely the best looking plants I have grown to date not the biggest buds but they look quality, chopped plants whole gonna do my best to keep the temp and rh% in the dry room as close 60/60 as I can to get a nice slow dry, 🍁😎 I only took the wet weight from 1 plant back left plant was 270g with large fan leaves removed

Helloooo everyone👋 This is the last week all the girls are ready for harvest🤩✂️ Im very happy with the result for my first outdoor photoperiod session! It was challenging but i had a lot of chance with the weather,this year was exceptionnal😎☀️ Absolutely different to grow outdoor If you want to skip the rain & the cold weather you can force the plants to flower,it works but you have to remove the plants every day at the same hours⏰ If you have the time to make your Homemade nutrient 100% bio its really easy you can find everything in nature feel free to ask me👌 In love with the beautiful purple color of the Biscotti from zamnesia😈

Start of week 8, just water.

Having a pop at Weedseedsexpress version of Do Si Dos. Been an interesting start as I popped 3 beans from from WSE on the 19th. The other 2 strains cam in no worries within a day and we're potted and under light on the 22nd. The D-S-D however was a no show. This morning I noticed a bit of a shoot showing so assumed she was just slower. But on closer inspection she had spun in her jiffy and the root was growing out of the Coco and the rest was underground . So i cut open the jiffy and found a rather yellow looking beginning of a plant...So I spun her around closed the plug up and will get her into a solo cup to root in.. The trouble is I got worried and have since started soaking another do si dos and a Sunset Sherbet... I swore I would stick to 3 plants and it looks like I'm on 5 again.. Maybe it is the green gods making sure I harvest enough..💚😂🌿. Some details about Do Si Dos . This GSC x Face Off OG cross is a (70%) Indica dominant hybrid with a THC content of no less than 30%! And what a beauty she is! Vivid orange pistils, sparkling white trichomes, and abundant leaves in hues of lilac and bright lime green. Besides, adding Face Off OG genetics to the natural sweetness of the Girl Scout Cookies gives this strain a pungent and earthy aroma, as well as soothing body effects. Extremely high THC levels Very resistant to mold Mellow yet uplifting effects Growing feminized Do-si-Dos seeds (indoor/outdoor) Do-si-Dos cannabis seeds do well in both indoor and outdoor environments. A greenhouse (provided it is spacious enough) will also do nicely. The Do-si-Dos strain prefers temperate (beware of cooler nighttime temperatures) Mediterranean and tropical climates. With its high fungal resistance, this variety's ideal climate is semi-humid, with a daytime temperature ranging between 70-80F /21-27 C. After germination, these feminized cannabis seeds grow into plants with long cone-shaped nugs covered in a thick layer of sweet sticky resin. The leaves are a deep hue of purple, which makes for a stunning contrast with its frosted buds and orange pistils. The feminized Do-si-Dos strain has an average flowering time of 56 to 70 days. When grown outdoors, the estimated harvest time for Do-si-Dos will be the end of September through Mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere. Grown indoor Do-si-Dos cannabis plants remain at a modest height between 80 and 100 cm. However, outdoors they can grow into quite massive plants with a max length of 250 cm. Do-si-Dos feminized yield Treat the Do-si-Dos strain right, and you will be rewarded with a high yield. This mostly Indica strain provides you with an impressive yield between 400 and 500 grams per m². Provide her with optimal conditions, and you can expect the same amount of amazing Do-si-Dos weed off every single plant after harvest, when grown outdoors. Effects of the Do-si-Dos strain With THC levels up to 30%, Do-si-Dos offers potent effects. Expect to feel happy, relaxed, and pleasantly sleepy all at the same time. Do-si-Dos strain offers a surprising mix of powerful yet gentle effects. The initial high kicks in almost immediately and brings a cerebral euphoria that lasts for only a short while before turning into a peaceful body buzz and will wash over you, leaving you in an almost meditative state. A wonderful strain to completely zone out after a stressful day at work. The seemingly minor CBD content of 1% offers surprising medicinal benefits like anti-inflammatory properties and relaxing sore muscles and joints. Furthermore, Do-si-Dos can relieve those suffering from nausea, depression, and chronic pain. And people struggling with insomnia will be especially thrilled with the solid soporific effects that send the user off to chill with mister Sandman in no time. Side effects Unlike you would expect with a parent like Girl Scout Cookies, Do-si-Dos isn't overly sweet but somewhat fruity and floral, pungent, and earthy like a typical Kush with just a hint of spices. The dominant terpene in Do-si-Dos is limonene, to which it owes its refreshing citrus tones. Origin of Do-si-Dos feminized marijuana seeds Do-si-Dos finds its origin in the US, where Archive Seed Bank created the strain in 2016. This Pacific Northwest breeder came up with the brilliant idea of crossing two OG Kush relatives: Girl Scout Cookies x Face Off OG. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All grown under Invisible Sun X Led lighting systems with the latest Samsung LM301H Evo mint white diodes..

Trop Cherry #8 x BeeJayz hasn’t been topped, I transplanted the girls this week from a 1 gallon pot to a 3 gallon pot. Trop Cherry was in a plastic pot but now in a fabric pot. Plants seem to be growing well.

Day 43 Flower (Day 85) Today is the first day of week seven of flower, and this is supposed to be the last week of flower for this fast strain, but I doubt that either of the girls will be done this week. That being said, it's pretty much a waiting game at this point since we're on the home stretch. The right girl should be done soon-ish, but the left girl will probably take a few more weeks. I just got my second Corona vaccine shot a couple of days ago, and as soon as it is entirely up and running, I'm off on vacation. After 1.5 years of this pandemic crap, I'm SO ready to go traveling again. To prepare for my travels, I installed a drip irrigation system in the left girl's tent. It's a simple system with a 10-liter water bag, some hose, and a few drip emitters, but once dialed in, it should be enough to provide the left girl with water for around a week. The system was a piece of cake to install, and I wrapped the water bag with some white mylar to avoid the water getting heated and also to reflect the light better. It's a bit ghetto still, but I'll make it prettier once I see that the system works as intended. I installed the system now already to give me time to dial it in. I'm hoping that the right girl will be done before I travel, but if she isn't, then I'll hook her up to the automated drip irrigation system that I use for our tomatoes. Come hell or high water. I'm going on that vacation, dammit! Lastly, I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. Day 44 Flower (Day 86) I think those extra photons from the new light are starting to work their magic in the left tent, and the left girl is slowly starting to fatten up. In the right tent, everything is just cruising along and I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.6 water today. Day 45 Flower (Day 87) The drip irrigation system in the left tent is working out great so far. Only been a couple of days though but yeah, so far so good. The right girl is packing on some weight into her buds and some of the thinner branches are starting to fall over. I've ordered some plant yoyos for support but they won't arrive until next week so I'll make do until then. Lastly, I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.3 water. Day 46 Flower (Day 88) Not much is happening on a day-by-day basis this late in flower. I hope those plant yoyos get here asap as the right girl is struggling to keep some of her branches up under the weight of the buds. I want to go in and tuck some fan leaves in her canopy to allow better light penetration. Still, I can only tuck a couple without starting to knock over branches as other branches precariously support them. (Note to self: use a second scrog next photo grow to give support after the stretch.) I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water, and that was all for today. Day 47 Flower (Day 89) Woooo! The yoyos arrived today even though they weren't due until next week. It was a breeze to put up; attach the yoyo at the roof of the tent with a zip tie, pull down the hook and attach it to the branch, done. I ended up using only three since the other branches are standing quite well once those three worst offenders are supported. A fourth branch could also use support, but the branch is way in the back, and I can't get to it without getting my arms and hands all covered in resin as just about everything in the tent is super sticky now. The buds on the right girl are very resinous and have a strong smell. I should bring out the microscope soon and start to check the trichomes to see where she's at. I also gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.6 water. The left girl is just hanging out in her tent, doing her thing, and slowly fattening up. The drip system is working great so far. After four days, the water bag is about half empty, so it looks promising that it will last a week. I've been monitoring the soil humidity, and it has slowly been dropping these four days, but the drop is so slow that it is next to negligible. Day 48 Flower (Day 90) Today, the left girl's soil humidity did a small drop, but it is still in a great range. I guess it is because as the water in the bag gets less, the water pressure is reduced, resulting in the water flowing more slowly out of the drip emitters. Not a huge deal, though, as it is now five days since the last time I hand-watered the left girl, so this irrigation system will work just fine when I go on vacation for a few days. I filled up another 3 liters of pH 6.1 water in the bag, and I'll keep an eye on it to see if the soil humidity increases. Speaking of watering, I treated myself today to a new, better pH pen. As a living soil grower, I don't use any nutes, so I thought I might as well make sure I have a quality pH pen to make sure the water is on point. My old Dr. Meter pen has served me just fine, but this bluelab pen is a lot faster, and it has a backlit display which makes it easier to use in low light situations. A friend of mine recently started growing, so I'll gift my old pen to him as well as my old tiny, drying tent, and the ViparSpectra P600 light as I don't need that now when I have a much more powerful light for the small tent. The right girl got 3 liters of pH 6.1 water as I haven't hooked up the automated drip irrigation system to her yet but will do that in the next few days as I suspect that she won't be finished either before vacation. Lastly, I started to brew some compost tea to give the girls one final boost of microbes and nutrients. I used a similar recipe as previously: worm castings, rock dust, biochar, lime, bentonite, neem meal, kelp meal, and molasses. I upped the castings and neem, though and I'll leave this tea brewing for 24 hours and feed it to the girls tomorrow. Day 49 Flower (Day 91) The last day of the seventh week of flower, and all is well in the tents. According to the breeder, this week is supposed to be the final week of flower, but none of my girls are near ready. I took out the microscope today and checked the trichomes on the right girl, and I would guess she has at least another week, if not two, to go as her trichomes are still clear. I might even end up running her longer as I'm looking for a decent amount of amber this harvest. This strain is supposed to be a heavy, almost narcotic Indica, and I'm aiming to make her as potent as possible. A "last-smoke-of-the-night" kind of smoke. Lately, there has been a noticeable cannabis smell in my lung room, and last night I tracked down the cause. It turned out that there was a leak between the carbon filter and the fan, so the fan blew out partly unfiltered air. Nothing that some duct tape couldn't fix, and this morning the smell was gone. The right girl is sticky af and has a strong smell. Initially, there's a strong citrus fragrance with hints of lime and grapefruit, but once those terps have started to evaporate, there's an underlying fragrance of pine. The left girl has even longer to go, and it wouldn't surprise me if she takes another month. We made some guacamole last night, but a couple of the avocados had gone bad, so I put them on my pots. My loss is my worms' gain. All I did today was to feed the compost tea I started yesterday to the girls. Each one got 3 liters of unfiltered tea at pH 6.7.

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Flush time, within the end of this week is now flush time. To summary this week i just kept on my feeding habits, Water with base > Water with boosters, alternating Recharge. My led seams to be crashing a bit, the colors are not stable as is possible to see in the timelapse. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, with a slight amber. 9 weeks flowering time will be exact, just need time to flush, they are maturing fast fast, hairs are getting orange in a blink. ------GG.AK47 COMMENT------ Compared to the Blueberry the nugs are thinner, still nice size, a bit less dense, thru the stems there are many popcorn buds, that is also due to the less removal on this girl to test. Loaded with colas and the scent is very sugary too, a bit stronger than the BB, and the hairs are turning orange faster, starting to look very mature. Defoliated a bit to avoid rot, will defoliate more for this reason.

So die 11 Woche hat angefangen, seit ca 5 Tagen gibt es kein Dünger mehr für die Lady. Täglich gieße ich mit 1.5 Liter und das Wasser hat einen PH Wert von 6.5. Noch eine Woche und dann steht die Erste Ernte an. Bin echt gespannt wieviel Trockene Buds auf der Wage sind.

New Tent, Started with Mr Canucks GRO medium, and planted directly in 5 gallon pots with a light watering center and plastic cap to hold the humidity. Currently 2 of 4 have broken the soil in 4 days now it’s time to keep the medium moist. The weather is chiller right now. I adjust my grow tent temp to 78. It feels the tent is dialed in for the othe 3 to germinate. When checking the seeds I realized I put them to deep. So I knuckle depth to see if there is success. The soil was cold so hopefully increasing the temp provides better results.

Hello, the plants are already second week flowering. Now begins the most iterous part :) The garden is organic and for flowering I put a top dressing of guano.
