🌾 Harvest Day — The Grand Finale of the Eternity Grow Cup 🌾 Days 72–73 | Trimmed on May 25 | Posted May 27 What a journey this has been — and what a finish. These five incredible Runtz phenos have now completed their cycle, and today, we celebrate the final stage of their flowering life: the Harvest. We sent the girls into darkness on Day 70, allowing them a full 48+ hours of rest and reset. The dark period was just a bit longer, truth be told, because time… it flows as it must. This extended dark time helps increase resin production, allowing the trichomes to mature just that final bit more. On Days 72 and 73, we harvested them with care and reverence. Each plant was hung upside down, whole, in a perfectly controlled 60% humidity environment for 13 full days. Before hanging, we gently removed only the fan leaves, leaving all trichome-rich sugar leaves in place — a natural armor for the delicate resin glands during drying. Why do we do this? Because those sugar leaves help protect the essential oils and terpenes, preserving potency, flavor, and aroma for the smoothest experience later on. 🌿 The Dry Room & The Trichome Guardians Throughout the drying, we used a moisture meter to monitor the moisture content in the stems. Once it dropped to around 12–13%, we knew it was time. This tool is a simple but game-changing ally in ensuring a perfect dry — not too fast, not too slow. We then trimmed everything by hand over a 6.5-hour focused session. Armed with trim bins and good energy, we collected an abundance of glistening trichome heads in the process — a golden bonus from these resin-packed beauties. The leaves themselves told a story: deep purples, near-black shades, autumn fades and metallic tones — just stunning. Each girl was trimmed in order: #5 → #4 → #3 → #2 → #1, revealing dense, chunky buds all the way from top to bottom. Not a single pop-corn bud among them — only rock-solid nugs, heavyweight champions in every sense. 📦 Cure Begins – Grove Bags & Glass Jars Once trimmed, the buds were tucked carefully into Grove Bags and glass jars, each stabilized at around 61% RH. The Grove Bags handle the microclimate beautifully, keeping humidity between 58–61%, perfect for preserving all that hard-earned quality. We’re now opening the jars daily, monitoring aroma and feel. This part of the process — the cure — is where the soul of the flower truly comes to life. ☀️ UV, Reds & The Perfect Run Part of what made this run so special was the precision in light spectrum. 40% whites, full reds, UV and IR, and the girls responded like royalty. The UV pushed trichome development to the max. The deep reds gave us thickness, color, and weight. All of it under ThinkGrow Model Ones powered through the Trolmaster ecosystem — everything syncing in harmony. This run was stable, lush, expressive — a grower’s dream. To my eyes, this was a perfect run. ⚖️ Final Yield: 1,302 Grams (1.3 kg) In a 4x4 tent — that’s just 1.2m x 1.2m for metric friends — we pulled in 1,302 grams of flower, not even counting the buds that were taken for filming, photos, or “quality control testing” along the way. 😉 Dense. Loud. Sticky. Resinous. 🌿 The Hidden Half: A Tribute to the Roots In every grow, there’s a part we don’t always see — a part that lives underground, quietly holding everything together. The roots. And this time, I wanted to honor them too. When we unpotted the plants after harvest, we were met with massive, dense root systems, completely filling the Autopot trays. These roots were vibrant, white and healthy, looking like noodles in a thick herbal soup — a true sign of vitality. The Autopots system, combined with the Aptus Holland Clean Program and Plagron Green Sensation, made sure they had the perfect environment to expand, absorb, and thrive. The PRO-MIX soil was the perfect foundation — light, fluffy, with excellent aeration. It all worked in harmony. After unpotting, I carefully washed every root system, removing all soil to prepare them for the next chapter of their story. Now, they’re hanging and drying — and will be left to cure for at least one month, possibly more, in a dry, dark, and well-ventilated space. But why keep the roots? Because cannabis roots hold ancient value — both medicinal and ritualistic. Though they don’t contain cannabinoids like THC or CBD, they are rich in alkaloids, triterpenoids, sterols, and other therapeutic compounds that can be anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, and calming. Medicinal Benefits of Cannabis Roots: • Friedelin – known for liver protection and anti-inflammatory effects • Pentacyclic triterpenoids – believed to support immune and anti-tumor functions • Alkaloids – some studies suggest pain-relief and muscle-soothing properties • High levels of fiber and tannins – excellent for digestive and skin applications 🍵 Root Medicine — Ways to Use Dried Roots: Once fully dried (they should snap like twigs, not bend), they can be gently crushed, powdered, or infused: 🌿 Cannabis Root Tea Soothing & Detoxifying • 1 tablespoon of dried, ground roots • 3 cups of filtered water • Simmer gently (do not boil) for 20–30 minutes • Add a bit of ginger or lemon for taste • Sip warm, especially good for menstrual discomfort, inflammation, and general relaxation 🍲 Healing Root Soup Base Brothy & Nourishing • Add a handful of dried roots into a veggie broth or bone broth • Simmer for 2+ hours • Strain before serving • This adds a subtle earthy tone and allows the healing properties to infuse your meal Topical Root Cream or Balm Great for sore muscles or irritated skin • Infuse roots in olive oil or coconut oil (low heat, 2–3 hours) • Strain and mix with beeswax to form a balm • Add essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus • Apply to temples, joints, or sore areas 🛁 Root Soak Bath Perfect for grounding and full-body relief • Bundle dried roots in muslin or cheesecloth • Steep in hot bathwater for 15 minutes before entering • Let the soak draw out toxins and ease tension ⸻ The roots are more than just the anchor of the plant. They are its memory, its foundation, its quiet miracle. By using them, we honor the entire lifecycle — nothing is wasted, and everything has a purpose. This part of the process is new for many growers, and I truly encourage anyone reading this to try saving and reusing the roots. Dry them, process them gently, and let them offer you one final gift. Much love to Aptus Holland, Plagron, Autopots, and PRO-MIX — this wouldn’t have been possible without their harmony working underground while the beauty bloomed above. 🌱 The Gift That Keeps Giving: Reusing the Soil As we say goodbye to one incredible season, we begin quietly preparing for the next. But not everything gets thrown away. In this garden, nothing is wasted. Just like the roots, the soil gets another life. After each harvest, I carefully remove the remaining roots and break up the soil. I inspect it, rejuvenate it with compost and beneficial microbes when needed, and most importantly, I repurpose it — giving it a second life in my outdoor veggie garden. Why do I do it? Because this soil has already done something extraordinary. It has supported life, held moisture, breathed air, balanced nutrients, and fed plants that became medicine. It’s not just dirt — it’s a living ecosystem. And to throw it away would be to ignore its potential. In my veggie garden, this recycled soil now nurtures cucumbers, tomatoes, courgettes, and so many other little miracles waiting to unfold. It’s a beautiful way of continuing the cycle, taking all the energy and intention that was once used to grow cannabis and transferring it into growing food. 🌞🍅🥒 🌾 The Benefits of Reusing Soil: • Sustainability — less waste, less environmental impact • Cost-effective — no need to constantly buy fresh medium • Soil memory — rich in organic material, microbial life, and structure • Nutrient potential — amended soil still holds value for many plants • A deeper connection — a way to honor the entire cycle of growth When we reuse our soil, we’re not just being resourceful — we’re believing in tomorrow. We’re trusting that what we’ve built can be rebuilt. That what has been used can become useful again. That from what seems like an ending, something new can always emerge. And maybe that’s the most powerful message of all in this journey: Planting is believing in tomorrow. 🌍🌱 Every seed in the ground is a little act of faith. So as this season comes to a close, the first tomatoes have been planted. The cucumbers are reaching for the sun. The courgettes are settling in. And the same soil that once gave us dense, resinous flowers is now feeding the vegetables that will grace the table. From harvest to hope — the cycle continues. And it’s beautiful. 🎉 The Final Touches Fun fact: • Trimmed on May 25 • Photo shoot on May 26 • This report: May 27 • Dry Bud Exclusive Photo Set: Coming soon Stay tuned — the next upload will be something special, just in time before the Eternity Grow Cup closes on May 31st. ⸻ 💚 Thank You To Zamnesia — your genetics were nothing short of extraordinary.

Ahhrrrrrggggghhhh PH imbalances! Don't panic. We got this. After a few theories and a bunch of research what I originally thought was light stress then a Cal Mag deficiency. Then I saw leaf damage and thought of Thrips. Wrong wrong and wronger. Turns out the soil PH is all out if wack. By which I mean waaaaaay too high. Like almost 8. That's what I get for not thinking PH was nOT tHaT BiG a dEaL. Now equipped with my PH and TDS meters and a little PH up and PH Down from Standard Hydroponics we can get thing back into balance. Lots of leaf growth this week. Looks like flowering is right around the corner. This will probably be the last week I'll feed her Grow Girls Grow from DSN and switch to Bloom Baby Bloom next week. I've also done some defoliation this week to get light to some of the bud sites. Again I had no idea LST was this powerful, she's gonna have such pretty flowers Looking forward to Bloom 🌹🚀🌻😎

Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 11 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17517.6, Another healthy week in the garden! Heady OG is filling in her pot beautifully and wow growth is healthy and all I see is green! Ca-Caw! TKO has also been raging and blowing up with growth! Re-strung the scrog frame and dropped it in place. Also upgraded the tent a bit by installing Vivosun’s CFM Kit. Pancaked TKO and started training her to fill in the back two quadrants of the tent. Heady also reached the netting! Started some low-stress training to fill in the front two quadrants. Veg tent has been healthy and gnat free! Super-cropped the mothers and the canopy has been recovering nicely! Also started germinating my first batch of popcorn tea! This will be my first time applying any Sprout Seed Tea (SST) and plan to feed next week. Onwards to next week Ensign!

Nematodes for the win! - [+01:06]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [+01:10]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Easy night in the garden!

I think I found the one! --- Both of the Garlic Budder phenos (OG#1 and OG#2) are getting pretty dank! --- Both have been curing for a good 6-7 months (since 12/13/24) and now taste completely different! The #2 pheno now has a pungent earthy fuel profile which has made her a keeper! The #1 pheno is more on the purple sweeter terp profile side, which is not really enough to be a keeper, but the smoke is definitely smoother and terpier than before. --- Still searching for more keepers, but now have a potential mother to breed with. Getting hyped! --- Wow curing really does make a huge difference! --- As for the Gorilla Goat phenos, they have been curing for about 3 months (since 04/08/25) and taste okay but nothing special. The #1 pheno still has a pretty loud lemon cleaner nose, but nothing to special on the smoke. Yet. I think. --- Also, for this cycle, plan to probably reduce the 18/6 harvest flip from 7 days down to 4 days. I think 7 days might have been too long and may have caused some re-vegging. --- Will continue to pheno hunt for more keepers! - [16:21]: Evening check on the 4x4 tent. --- Wow the garden is raging! --- All growth looks green and the canopy is filling in! --- Heady OG is starting to reach the side of the 30 gallon pot, but still has a ways to go before reaching the scrog frame. Growth looks healthy and green so I’m happy! --- Wow TKO is bushy and getting enormous! She has already started to fill in the front left quadrant of the tent. - [16:23]: Alright! Time to start scrogging and training out the canopy. Let’s go! --- Temporarily took the PVC scrog frame out of the tent. - [16:35]: Okay time to re-string the frame! --- Like always, used mason string for the netting and double-looped each screw. Strung the vertical lines before weaving the horizontal lines over and under the vertical lines. --- Also covered the top of each corner with foil and masking tape. - [17:14]: Done! Scrog frame is re-strung and looking great! --- Set the frame aside for a bit. - [17:15]: Going to give Vivosun’s High CFM (cubic feet per minute) Support Kit a try. --- Once the scrog frame is installed, the back area is difficult to access. So need to install the kit before placing the frame back in. --- The kit came with 4 identical support bars which snap snugly onto the vertical tent bars. --- Assembly was pretty straight forward and the bars snapped and screwed together with ease. --- To make the process a lot easier, I installed all the corners first. The bars easily snapped into the corner pieces and once fully secured, the whole tent feels a lot more stable. The kit also widens the tent to keep the fans from hitting the sides. --- Left the front bar off for now (only have the front corners installed). --- To ensure that the support bars are level, decided to place the bottom (back and front) bars just above where the tent bars snap together (about 41 inches from the floor). The top (side) bars were installed just above (about 43 inches from the floor). --- These bars should help to keep the walls of the tent expanded which should give more room for the oscillating fans. - [18:05]: Installed and gently dropped the scrog frame into place. --- Secured each corner to each corner (flag pole) clip. --- The frame height was not adjusted and the netting is about 33 inches from the floor. --- Also trained TKO and tucked her taller branches under the netting. --- Super-cropped and pinched a few branches and redirected them away from the front area of the tent. --- Lastly, installed the front CFM bar. --- Keeping the front area clear for Heady OG and won’t flip to flower until the frame is completely full. --- Heady OG still has yet to reach the netting, but that’s okay. --- Plan to veg for another month or so before flipping to flower so Heady OG has plenty of time to fill in the front. --- Grow strong my girls! - [18:19]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 46% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 41% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 54% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 53% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 40% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 43% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 47% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 40% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] | 45 - 60% [Moist] | 70% [Wet] - [18:21]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mothers are vegging along beautifully and wow the canopy has exploded! --- The canopy has almost reached the grow light! --- Time to super-crop! - [18:35]: To make the process a lot easier, used a pair of needle-nose pliers. --- For added cushioning, the tips of the pliers were wrapped in masking tape. - [18:37]: Perfect! The canopy is flat and a good 5-6 inches lower! --- The pliers made super-cropping a whole lot easier! Especially stoked on how well they worked on the Garlic Budder phenos in the back. Both have brittle branches and when pinching and bending, a few usually break. But not when using the pliers. Nice! --- Pots also look great and no signs of gnats! The double inoculation seemed to have eliminated the larval population and the under canopy is thriving! - [18:41]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Another grow day done! Day 03 - Wednesday - 07/02/25 - Total Days: 080 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 85.4°F [29.7°C] - Humidity: 78.1% - VPD: 0.91 kPa - Soil %: [49, 40, 49, 53, 43, 41, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [23:06]: Quick night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Looking green and growth is perking up nicely! --- Heady OG is getting bigger and she has almost reached the edge of the pot. Also no gnats and no flooding. Perfect! --- TKO is recovering from the scrogging an growth is straightening up towards the grow light! Great! --- Trained a few of TKO’s front branches. Trying to keep her front growth from over taking the front area. - [23:17]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Wow! Growth has almost fully recovered and most already perky! --- Canopy is nice and low with tops everywhere! --- Pots also look great and gnat free! - [23:19]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 04 - Thursday - 07/03/25 - Total Days: 081 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 85.1°F [29.5°C] - Humidity: 77.5% - VPD: 0.93 kPa - Soil %: [48, 40, 49, 53, 41, 41, 42, 41] ----------------------------------- - [09:08]: Quick morning check on the 4x4 tent. --- Looking healthy in the garden! --- Heady OG is continuing to widen out and has stretched just beyond the sides of her pot! --- TKO is recovering nicely with even and beautiful top canopy growth! - [09:10]: Quickly checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mothers are vegging along and looking healthy! --- Sleep well my girls! - [16:26]: Evening check on the 4x4 tent. --- Caw-Caw! Good morning ladies! Garden is looking healthy and green! --- Heady OG is looking bit droopy but she is just waking up. --- TKO is looking healthy and perky! - [16:59]: Took the weekly general PPFD readings. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was around 307 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 19.89 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle. ------ TKO was around 344 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 22.29 mol/m²/d under a 18/6 light cycle. - [17:14]: Took height and light distance measurements. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 17" tall. ------ TKO was about 20.5" tall. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 4" away from the scrog netting. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 36" away from the grow light. ------ TKO was about 31.5" away from the grow light. - [17:24]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 52% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 40% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 54% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 53% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 40% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 45% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 42% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] | 45 - 60% [Moist] | 70% [Wet] --- All WittFlow units are also connected and charged. One unit is getting low, but still okay. Need to swap out soon. - [18:32]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Looking great in the mother tent! All growth is raging and starting to stretch upwards again! --- Pots look good and no signs of gnats. Perfect! - [19:22]: Ca-Caw! Time to start making some popcorn tea! --- This will be my first attempt at any form of Sprouted Seed Tea (SST). What can possibly go wrong right? --- Anyways, --- Shoutout to Easy-E and Bleezy along with Minnesota Nice for the basic recipe and technique! Feed the worms and keep the soil hydrated. The worms will do the rest. --- Of course shoutout to the legend who inspired all three, Subcool420. His videos are still on YouTube and are an inspiration to keep striving to grow better and to eventually breed the best genetics. Peace and live forever through good memories. 🖖 --- Over a decade of dope and living soil is still the way to grow! Stay up weed nerds! --- Adjusted the original 10 gallon SST recipe to a 1 gallon batch. --- Also adding in a bit of aloe for the initial seed soak. --- To germinate and sprout the popcorn, using a one pint (2 cups) wide-mouth mason jar. --- Alright Ensign, don’t frack this up! Let’s go! ------ Added 2tbsp of Popcorn Seeds ------ Added 1 cup of RO water ------ Added 1/64tsp of Horticultural Aloe --- Mixed the solution and seeds around a bit. - [17:46]: Decided to also place the jar on the heating mat. --- The thermostat is set to a warm 83°F (currently at 85.2°F) --- Shouldn’t be an issue since the local weather is warming up, but just want to keep the jar nice and warm. --- To keep the jar insulated, covered it with a towel. --- Done! --- Going to soak the seeds for at least 24hrs before draining out the water. Then plan to rinse the seeds daily with RO water for about a week before blending up and feeding! --- The sprouted popcorn will contain both growth enzymes and cytokinins which will help the soil biology. --- Also the worms will enjoy the extra nutrients! - [+00:55]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [+00:57]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Growth looks green and healthy which is the most important. --- TKO is just raging! Tops are already pointing straight up and stretching towards the grow light. - [16:31]: Using both my hands and a chop stick, --- Tucked and trained TKO a bit more. - [16:34]: Alright! The canopy is nice and even! --- Will continue to re-direct growth to the back right quadrant of the tent. --- Wow!

This will be the last week i will Feed. I m keeping TDS at 400PPM and PH at 5.8. This week I took out the Silica Blast, Great White and also stoped the CO2. Also I lowered the water temp to 66 degrees. Lights on temp is between 75 and 80 degrees, lights off between 65 and 72. I’m trying to keep humidity as low as possible around 45% week 10 will be flush week.

Let's start another week😊The girls are doing great ! They received a single dose of Final Solution and Organic Bloom Stimulator.White Widow X Big Bud has started to give off a very intense aroma.Due to the density in the tent, it was necessary to install an additional fan.Looking at the progress, I expect a harvest sooner than declared.

Not much has happened since last update 2 weeks ago (expect growth obviously). She is growing well and with ease. Only problem was that one branch snapped a little bit. Had to support it to another branch with binding thread. No visible damage other than the slightly snapped branch. Happy growing everyone

Woche 4 bricht an und es läuft hervorragend! Die Orange Sherbet bekommt diese Woche frischen Boden: eine Mischung aus Bio-bizz All-Mix und Greenhouse-Feeding, perfekt für die letzten Vegetationswochen und blüte. Zudem hat sich die Orange Sherbet sehr gut mit dem Backhefe-Buttermilch-Melasse-Experiment entwickelt, was zu einem starken CO2-Anstieg auf bis zu 1500 ppm geführt hat. 💨 Ich bin gespannt, wie sie sich in der neuen Umgebung entwickeln wird. Auf der anderen Seite explodieren die Frozen Black Cherries förmlich in der Hydroponik! 🌱 Die Entwicklung ist beeindruckend, und ich könnte nicht zufriedener sein mit ihrem Fortschritt. Die Blütephase rückt näher, und ich bin gespannt, wie sich alles weiterentwickelt! Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden! 🚀 Week 4 is here, and things are going great! The Orange Sherbet is getting new soil this week—a blend of Bio-Beth All-Mix and Greenhouse-Feeding, setting her up perfectly for the final weeks of vegetation and . Additionally, the Orange Sherbet has responded well to the back yeast-buttermilk-molasses experiment, resulting in a significant CO2 increase of up to 1500 ppm. 💨 I'm excited to see how she adapts to her new environment. Meanwhile, the Frozen Black Cherries are absolutely thriving in hydro! 🌱 Their growth has been phenomenal, and I couldn't be more impressed with their progress. The flowering phase is getting closer, and I can't wait to see how everything unfolds! I'll keep you updated! 🚀

Moon in Motion 🌙✨ This week was all about shaping and observing—and Auto Moon Rock delivered on both fronts. After bouncing back confidently from her topping at day 14, I introduced her to gentle LST to guide her into a wider, more balanced structure. 🌀 Early side branches are now catching the light beautifully 🌀 She's adapting quickly and growing in a neat, controlled form 🌀 Definitely enjoying the open layout and taking up space like a pro 📸 I’ve captured her development in a timelapse video—watching her stretch, settle, and grow is a true pleasure. It's always fascinating to see just how dynamic this phase really is when viewed at speed. 🌱🎥 Nutrient Schedule & Conditions: 🔹 BioBizz Grow – 2 ml/L 🔹 CalMag – 0.5 ml/L 🔹 Homemade compost tea infused with Effective Microorganisms 🔹 pH set at 6.4, spot on 🔹 EC sitting steady at 900 µS 🔹 Watered with dechlorinated tap water only She’s growing with good internal spacing and strong branching—so far she’s showing excellent promise both structurally and energetically. I’m curious to see how much vigor she’ll carry into preflower in the coming days. For now, I’ll let the timelapse speak for itself—Moon Rock is on the move. 🚀🌙 Let’s keep her glowing!

03/12 - Day 68 Girls are putting out some really nice aromas! I’m assuming this is the last push for this strain, buds are really tight and super hard when squeezed on (B) & (C) All around the trichomes are still pretty clear and no amber yet.

Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️
