Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres Stretch 15centimètres Jour42 defolliation Jour45 arrosage avec de l'eau 1ml topmax Jour47 arrosage avec deux litres d'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 1ml par litre d'eau de topmax biobizz Quesque le stretch ? How to Control Stretching: Mastering Cannabis's Growth Push Stretching is a natural growth spurt for cannabis plants, but it is known to affect final yield. We dive into what causes stretching in the first place and how to prevent it from invading your growing space. There is little more irritating than an overloaded grow room. Stretching, the term used to describe the accelerated growth of cannabis stems, is part of the natural process of the vegetative phase and is influenced by plant genetics among other variables. Unfortunately, stretching is a recurring culprit in poor yields and plants that are too long resulting in the wobble of physically unstable crops. Despite the threat it confers, stretching can be controlled by first examining the factors influencing growth and then creating a protocol to accompany these problems step by step. Controlling cannabis stretching requires an understanding of how plants interact with their internal and external environments. WHY DO PLANTS STRETCH? There are many reasons why plants are stretched, one of which revolves around the varieties themselves. Genetics play an essential role in determining the possible height of sativas, indicas and hybrids. While most indica varieties are reared to grow in a smaller and denser way, sativas often undergo significant stretches of up to sometimes almost 2 or more mothers depending on the species. While stretching itself is not harmful, drastic flare-ups on the part of the stems can result in the potential loss of a large crop of between 20% and 30% in total. When thinking about species for your next home growing session, look for the standard size of each variety you are interested in so you can judge whether or not these species undergo drastic stretching during flowering.

The beginning of flower week 5 the girls have bouncing back from the previous defoliation, I add some Marshydro SP250 to the tent the first few day due to hot weather and too much heat the girls leafs curl in so i add some cold mist humidifier and new circulation fans for better air flow to drop some temperature and add more moisture to the air and they seem to love it then i continue more LST to expose more bud side to the light next week i will put down scrog net down and hopefully doing more defoliation as they getting very bushy now, if anyone have any advise or any tip for the next part feel free to drop a comment it would be much appreciate

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. These girls are filling out now. And there's some pink and purple going on too. The plants are smelling stronger now and they are putting out THC crystals. Plant #3 has a raw minty smell, like I rubbed a peppermint leaf in my fingers and smelled my fingers. I'm hoping these plants will smoke strong... but I'm not seeing very much THC crystals forming. I hope they are strong enough for me. The last 5 pictures are of the "Real" Pink Kush and a cross I made; I took Dr. Atomics Northern Lights #5 pre 2005, And crossed that with Barneys Amnesia Lemon, to be called Northern Lemnesia. I too that and crossed it with the Pink Kush. I took the Pi for Pink Kush and No for Northern Lights and the AL for Amnesia Lemon and got Pinoal Kush. Got a musky citrus taste and smell. So if I can do that (see pics),... then I was expecting more THC crystals out of these WeedaSec plants. Ok. Have Fun out there on this New Years Eve. Be safe... Chuck.

Greetings my dear Jungletamers, So a major surprise came when @MarsHydroLED contacted us and asked if would like to try out their new SP 3000 light. Being a fan of Mars Hydro for years, we of course accepted their offer. We are totally in love with this light. I was when I saw it in another grower's setup and was in awe of its output and results. So with much pride and thankfulness for the presents the Universe bestowed on us, in the form of MarsHydroLEDS offer and the bountiful harvest of the last grow, (which I am thoroughly enjoying btw, such a great weed to have grown ourselves) we start out on a new adventure that we can't wait to share with you. With many lessons learned from the previous grow, a mighty producing strain in the form of Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue #4, a.k.a Expert Gorilla's and a tweaked super soil mixture, we are setting out to hopefully get over a gram per watt, preferably 1.5. The Setup A 4.5 (140 cm) x 2(70) x 6.2 (200) grow tent, giving me a .98 m2 workspace. This space is customized to my needs. A standing fan will provide airflow through the whole grow, a top fan will help guide cooler air past my lights onto the grow. 3 56 ltr pots will be the home for the plants when they are 2 weeks old, up to then in smaller jars. The Light The leading role and star of the show will be played by the Mars Hydro SP-3000, so kindly provided by MarsHydroLED, which we will test and review here and I might say, endorse. I'm very careful with who I endorse and support these days, but a company with that many wins in design, I'm talking ever since their first range came out in 2009 these guys have been raising the bar for the whole industry, I did not hesitate to support this leading brand. If you want to compete with these guys, you better bring some quality AND affordable pricing. Why do I endorse the SP-3000 without ANY hesitation? It is seriously THE BEST light on the market in this price range and size group. It has an enormously effective output in U/Mol and with 30% less energy waste comparing to older LED lights. Prove me wrong! And with a company holding a considerable market share selling thousands of units every month, competing on price and quality, one would think that customer service would suffer. Of course, also Mars Hydro is not perfect, but check the sheer amount of people that not only praise the light but also the service received, should the light somehow not perform up to par. It is this dedication to their customer base that made this company have a fanbase... Yes, a fanbase with a website and a wiki. So if you are looking to buy new lights, check out the END OF SUMMER OFFER at the Mars-Hydro Global Store on Aliexpress: https://marshydroled.aliexpress.com/ 👈 Check their offers but also their score, they ship from a warehouse near you so you don't have the extra import fees!! Cut out the middleman and have a deal on these lights!! At the moment I write this in August 2021, the lights are 408,20 euro when sent from Germany to the rest of Europe, that's 40 euro cheaper than the other Mars outlets, BUT EVEN 60 euros cheaper than ordering at a grow store!! The Strain: Experts Seeds - Expert Gorilla feminized regular. Don’t let the name fool you because Expert Gorilla is suitable for growers of any skill level. However, you do need to be an experienced smoker because Expert Gorilla is one of the most potent strains on the market. Lineage: Chem Sis x Chocolate Diesel x Sour Dubb Popularity: Extremely Popular Flavor/Aroma Profile: Chocolate, Earthy, Fuel Yield: 400 g/m2 Stress Tolerance: High resistance to disease Potency: 24% THC Flowering time: 58 - 63 days The Soil: Those who saw my Monstercropped Gelato #33 grow (you should see it if you didn't, I'm so proud of that grow), know about my super soil and organic nutrients/ permaculture tea combo that starred in my previous diary. Because of the great results, we are going to use the same recipe, adjusted some more with some new ingredients that will complete the mix and give an even more sustained super soil buffer. 20% Atami Bi-grow (very similar to ocean forest) 20% Atami worm castings 20% Atami Coco Coir 10% Hydrocorn 10% Peat powder 1 cup Fossil seaweed chalk 1 cup bonemeal 1 cup bloodmeal 1 cup Microlife 3-4 teaspoons of epsom salt 3 cups of activated biochar (activated with our own permaculture tea) I just made layers, starting with hydro corn on the bottom to aid airflow/run-off. On this I started layering the coco coir, Bi-grow, peat, castings, and amendments in a way that the more mature the plants get, the more phosphorous and less nitrogen they will find. Every time I made three layers, I would mix them by hand. This way we simulate natural soil, which consists of humic layers, composting plant waste, fungal and microbial life, and nutrients from fossilized sources. The Nutrients I will start with just adding 6.4 PH water, although this soil should buffer ph itself and regulate, after 4 weeks, I'll slowly be adding: - Biobizz Grow - Plagron Alga Grow - Biobizz CalMag - Biobizz Flower - Plagron Alga Flower - Biobizz Topmax - Melasses The Tea Some of you might remember the permaculture tea from my previous grow, I have a short video in my harvest page showing how we make it), it will star again in this grow. - (Rain)water - Comfrey (whole plants) - Dandelion leaves - Roots and leaves from the earlier grow - Minor periwinkle (Finca minor) is a plant we have in our garden, it contains an alkaloid that is associated with increased brain function but also is a light toxin for wee beasties and other unwanted guests like gnats (who hate it). - When flowering I add some wood ash to this mix Thank you for checking in on one of my grows again! Thanks for all the love on my previous grow, check it out if you haven't seen it!! Hug Bud

Привет привет друзья как дела как настрой ??? Ну вот и долгожданный репортаж от Раста ;) неделя прошла без изменений, как обычно всю неделю поправлял ветки от 707 показывал им как надо и в какую сторону им надо развиваться, в переди ещё 3-4 недели и я уже думаю чем мне закрепить ветки так как на этом этапе шишки уже очень тяжело. А ещё они только набирают вес и силы 😍😁

🇩🇪 Die ersten Blütenstände sind erkennbar und sie beginnt sich zu Strecken. Sie beginnt auch schon leicht zu duften. Ich bin mal gespannt. Alle Parameter sehen gut aus und die Pflanze dementsprechend auch. Vor ein paar Tagen war es sehr heiß draußen, wodurch die Temperatur auf 29 grad gestiegen ist. Dem Strain hat es aber nichts ausgemacht. Die anderen Pflanzen haben die Blätter hängen lassen aber FB scheint sehr resistent gegen hohe Temperaturen zu sein, bzw. sie gut wegzustecken. Die Lampe habe ich heute auf 75% hochgedreht. 🇺🇸 The first buds are visible, and it’s starting to stretch. It’s also beginning to emit a light scent. I’m curious to see how it develops. All the parameters look good, and so does the plant. A few days ago, it was very hot outside, causing the temperature to rise to 29°C. However, the strain didn’t seem to mind. The other plants drooped their leaves, but FB appears to be very resistant to high temperatures or able to handle them well. Today, I turned the lamp up to 75%. 🇪🇸 Los primeros cogollos son visibles, y está comenzando a estirarse. También empieza a emitir un ligero aroma. Tengo curiosidad por ver cómo se desarrolla. Todos los parámetros se ven bien, y la planta también. Hace unos días hizo mucho calor afuera, lo que hizo que la temperatura subiera a 29°C. Sin embargo, a esta cepa no pareció afectarle. Las otras plantas bajaron sus hojas, pero FB parece ser muy resistente a las altas temperaturas o capaz de manejarlas bien. Hoy subí la lámpara al 75%.

12/15: Plant is looking real good, the roots are soaking with water and air, increased to the normal nutrient schedule, and have been adding ph down every day to keep it under 6.5. I also just lowered the light about a few inches, the taller bud sites were about 20 inches, I wanted to lower ones to get more light... the leaves haven't had any effect, the other bud sites seem to be thrivingg now. 12/17: water level down about 1/4 inch. Everything looks ok.

Nachdem ich ein paar Triebe aus Versehen abbrach, lies ich vergangene Woche die Pflanzen in ruhe. Mittlerweile war alles zugewuchert, weshalb ich mich dazu entschloss, einige Blätter zu entfernen und mit etwas LST zu starten um die Pflanzen auf das kommende SCROG´ing vorzubereiten
