Week 4: Growth Spurts and New Challenges Continued Growth and Health As we move into the fourth week, the plants are showing impressive growth. Their leaves are a lush, vibrant green, and the stems are becoming stronger. The transition to the larger 11-liter fabric pots has clearly paid off, providing the roots with ample space and better aeration. Adjusting Nutrient Levels Given their positive response to the nutrients, I decided to continue with 2/3 of Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding schedule, adjusting slightly to meet their increasing demands. Here's the updated feeding plan for this week: CalMag: 2.5 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.50 mS/cm) Grow: 1.5 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 0.5 ml/l EC: 1.2 mS/cm (600 ppm PPM-500/TDS) pH: 6.0 Each plant is watered with approximately 20% runoff to ensure there's no nutrient buildup in the coco mix. I will maintain this nutrient level until the pre-flowering stage to avoid the risk of nutrient burn due to over-fertilization. Weather Improvements and Adjustments The weather has been steadily improving, with temperatures expected to rise to around 25°C starting Wednesday, accompanied by abundant sunshine. This upcoming forecast is excellent news for my plants, as I anticipate a final growth spurt before flowering begins. Every centimeter of growth counts at this stage, and I'm optimistic about maximizing their potential under these favorable conditions. Strengthening with Wind Exposure On days with good weather, I move the plants out of the greenhouse to expose them to natural wind. This practice helps strengthen their stems, improving overall stability. Additionally, the wind creates a more challenging environment for pests, helping to keep them at bay. Smart Watering Strategy I only water the plants when the pots feel noticeably lighter. This encourages the roots to search for water, promoting the development of a stronger and more extensive root system. This method helps ensure the plants remain healthy and resilient. Pest Management: Observations and Actions At the beginning of the third week, I noticed dark discolorations on the undersides of some leaves. A few days later, these spots turned into yellow patches. I am still unsure about the cause of these spots. To prevent a potential insect infestation, I sprayed all the leaf surfaces, both top and bottom, with a mildly dosed neem oil mixture. Since then, the spots have not spread further. Because these discolorations are only affecting the lower leaves, they are not causing me significant concern at the moment. Regular inspections and preventive measures are crucial to maintaining the health of the plants and ensuring that any issues are caught early. Decision Against LST At first I have decided against using LST. But some of your comments made me try some LST on two of my plants. I choose Tangie and Gorilla cookies to try out and learn some stuff. Blue dream and Banana purple punch stay without any training. Thanks guys for your advice 👍 Monitoring and Care My daily routine involves checking the plants every morning and evening. This includes: Monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. Inspecting the plants for any signs of pests or nutrient deficiencies. Growth Observations The plants are responding well to the controlled environment and balanced nutrition. They are growing rapidly, with new leaves appearing almost daily. The stems are thickening, and the overall structure of the plants is robust and healthy. Looking Ahead As we head into week 4, I am optimistic about the continued growth and health of my plants. The combination of a stable environment, appropriate nutrient levels, and diligent care is proving successful. I’m excited to see how they progress and adapt as they move closer to the flowering stage. Seeking Feedback and Tips Your feedback and tips are valuable to me!

This big lady has grown so so much this last week! She hit her preflower stretch and started flowering on me. She's doing great! I'm so glad I did a comparison with the large 7 gal pot. She does phenomenal in it! Did a little video of her today to show you the magnificent size of her and the many flowers sites that are starting to emerge.

Growing this again. And again. Humboldt have a gem with this strain. Tastes like tangerines with a happy, creative high which sets me up for the day. Biggest yielder of the 4 plants I grew in this harvest. My go-to morning smoke.

The white hairs started about 9 days ago, ive been watching closely since, its grown another 5 inch in past 5 days, the hairs are multiplying but im still to see no bud shapes anywhere? Is this normal? I know over the growth ive caused a few problems for her and maybe this is why not alot is happening now, hopefully get something off it though, make it worth the effort and costs of the things ive bought. The days are running out for whats left to grow with it been a auto, online said anything after 83 days is pointless? Is that true in any way?

Hi growmies, this week the twins were not getting any sunlight at all so they had to keep each other warm in their clubhouse😸 now they are on my gardentable. to catch the few sunrays .. Peeking through the clouds.. One in 11 litr pot is 43cm 5L pot is 69 cm 5L- strechting like a beast.. she still looks like a big freak with her deformed leaves but i feel all she needs is just a few days of good sunlight (she is a bit 'droopy') and she will make buds like a beast.. i feel it could go either way or she will be a big bust or shes gonna make the biggest buds ever! 11 l pot stands strong and trying to take care of the hedgehogs as good as possible has bigger trunck and is much more sturdy.. she wil not dissapoint😎👌 They are getting a little bit attacked by spiders and spidermites in their clubhouse.. but thats no biggy few snails too.. but they are big enough to not get bothered by them and usually i catch them in their tracks (both, the spiders and the snails ;)) ihave only found one 'lil snail in my cheese..but have done no harm, just dazed from the cheese smell i think 😎👌 think gonna put some copper tape around the pot, just to be sure no snail invasion comes becouse it is so rainy.. but im just glad there are no caterpillers (yet) they can really munch on the plants! see ya next week with another episode of the Cheese Twins Chronicles hopefully in full sunlight! happy growing for all✊

This week I raised the light a few inches. I also removed the CO2 dispenser as it seemed like I was meddling to much. The humidity levels remained in the 50's so I removed the watering can. Overall, things remained much the same. My main takeaway this week was "stop doing things". Leave the plants alone. I'm learning that the plants respond negatively to changes in their environment. Let them be and they'll figure out how to survive.

Buenas a tod@s... 3ra semana de floración de la famosa critical, de momento van bien, algunas hojas oxidadas a esta altura pero creo q es normal, eh podido regular bien la comida( a mí creer) y eh visto mejoras en las variedades, no las noto como antes q estaban como decaídas y se las veia agobiadas, las veo bien y en esta tercera semana se ve claramente la diferencia... Los nutrientes utilizados se ve q son la bomba... 🙌🏻👌🏻 La semana q viene más y mejor, se están poniendo hermosas...❤️ Muchas gracias y buenos humos para todos... 💨💨🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦 🏻‍♂️

Week has gone very well. Growth has exploded will be trimming back some fan leaves this coming week to help the light reach the bottom stocks that have now come in. You can see the growth explode after I transplanted the plant.

This week went real great , one has been getting flushed and the rest we will start flush Tomorrow! These ladies are doin so amazing! Hope you all enjoy !! Stay tuned for next week! Cheers an happy holidays!

4ème semaine tout se passe bien. 1 des plante a été croisé avec la NYC Diesel j'ai obtenu une graine.

New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day. Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!! Trimming so I can keep the same hight. Have any tips or rekomandation? Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

Hello everyone, I've had a busy week, so this is what I have for you guys See y'all next week 🤘🤘

Ciao bros&sis! It's been a while, I know, but here we are! Ok, about the girls: they are fine, i've decided to transplant some of them in coco coir to learn the "hydro way" (I see DWC in near future) thanks to the great tips learned from @Mr_Di and embolden by my bro @Totem I'll try to works with mineral fertilizer, EC and the inert medium. Girls in coco are: Royal AK- still the queen. into her new 12lt airpot (not fill it because is too big) she's growin an inch a day OG Kush- she likes nutes and everything, but there's something wrong with the leaves... into 11lt netpot Speedy Chile- she's growing strange, but strong. into 6lt pot (I wanna give her a chanche, but not waste time and money) Ferts of choice: Canna Coco A+B, easy to manage and economic I also add some liquid silicon to the water to prepare the plants for the oncoming training, great product for sure. Soil: UK Cheese auto- she's flowering even after crop, lst and hst. STRONG genetics. 8.8ltpot Pink Doc CBD auto- at the third try, we have a winner! Finally a seedling that seems normal and fine, we will see... 8.8lt pot Candy Kush Express- she like soil, indeed. Nice plants, topped and transplanted. 10lt plastic growbag Special Kush- tiny princess, she was begging for more space. 10lt plastic growbag That's all mate, we will see soon for the next update! Ciao!😙

So here it is, the final week before harvest. I've been tested by my equipment but managed to handle everything thrown at me. The dehumidifier breaking 2 weeks ago was definitely the scariest moment! The size and smell of these is ludicrous, I reckon it'll be a bumper harvest!

Amber trichomes are starting to form, we're cloudy in most sections but there's still a bunch of clear a little deeper in. This is probably their last full week..we cut all nutrients nearly a month ago and have been watering heavy (as we typically do during flush) but they have only lightened slightly, we use a soilless media which should be completely flushed out by now but most the leaflets are still super dark, after seeing several other grows of this strain we assume it must be characteristic of B.B..we have 4 grow areas in our grow room and the Bangers can be smelled over everything else.. It smells like Fruit Loops with notes of gasoline 🍓⛽...The SP-3000 by MarsHydro is an absolute beast in a 4x2, this is our 2nd grow under The SP-3000 and we completely filled the 4x2 on both occasions. Each run resulted in massive, compact Buds just covered in resin..its without a doubt the best LED of its size we have in house or have ever been privileged to use honestly... Full disclosure: we got a little impatient starring at these girls, so we (well I did lol) pulled down a bud 2 days ago (approx. 10grams) and immediately threw it in the oven for decarb..we made a 5oz batch of tincture and this is easily the "speediest" Seedsman strain I've tried to date, its a surprisingly clear headed high, definitely a daytime smoke..however, may have a different opinion after a proper dry and cure..we'll update our smoke report after drying...thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️💡🌱 ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

Growth is great but not as good as the lemon pie. Started mor full watering this week with some LST. Nice green and healthy leaves

Day 35 - few pics and vids..... everything going along nicely 👍 This is a pretty big update, so i'll add to it over the next few days, as i finish building it all.... i'm building these 2 x SS haze, the full tent, just finishing up the setup..... trimming them, changing solutions to 12/12 and flower..... changed the exhaust fan and filter setup to the better outside the tent method.... and installed 12v CPU computer fan, lol ("alta9" fits in 4in ducting perfectly), drops wattage on extractor fan.... 10w tops... got a few kg of active carbon and making/replacing the carbon filter .... i'll add afew vids of the new setup in afew days... Day 36 - few pics/vid of new tent setup...... "alta 9" fan :) post tomorrow after i finish trimmin and settin up night mode etc...... and into tomorrow we go, lol ... Day 37.... slowly getting there..... little bit more to go... this should make things abit more interesting..... right tank (short babie) has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 150 ml -dutch master one gold FLOWER.... 6.4 PH - 1400 PPM left tank has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 50 ml of elements a and 50ml of b and 10 ml of nitro and 20ml of Crystalic (molasses/pot) .... 6.5 PH - 1200 PPM more pics / vids of the finished tent setup.... roots, transfer, etc... Day 37 is alot of vids of the clean and change to flower..... edit - day after build noticed left tank (nutrifield) not enough bubbles..... pulled out the 4 air pump and swapped to the 2 x original oxipumps... much better, also to fix the problem with ph goin high, and bubbles not stirin the mix, was to add another 10ml of crystallic and another 5ml of nitro... then pumped both tanks with ph down and set em to 5.8-6.2 - both plants have fully recovered from the big trim, and bounced back within 12-24hrs, post pics/vid in abit..... Day 39 - made a freaky video... was curious about what the plants would see looking up at the lights... the lights and buzzing of air compressors and bubbling tank water, and dazzling lights turned out pretty cool in vid editor, was in selfie mode.... and final vid of the bounceback from trim :) 👍😎

🙏 Big thanks to Plagron and Zamnesia for putting on the Eternity Grow Cup 2025. This kind of platform means a lot to the community. The chance to push our grows, test out new techniques, and connect with other cultivators from all over has been inspiring. Appreciate the love and effort that went into making this event happen! Hope everyone enjoyed looking over my shoulder on this grow and best of luck to all participants! REVIEW - Runtz (fem., photo.) from Zamnesia: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜ The seeds from Zamnesia germinated rapidly, rooted strongly, went wild in veg, and produced an ample amount of high-quality medicinal flower. The diary speaks for itself on that front so this space will be more of a phenotype review. The plants were labelled A, B, and C from left to right respectively in photos. A and B were the 'clasicaly-appearing' sativa-esque leaves while C was the more 'indica-appearing' phenotype. Although A and B appear the same qualitatively, they did produce substantially different amounts of flower (despite their DLI being near max out for the entire tent footprint without supplementing CO2, so I do not think just being in the middle attributed to this). Past their different yields, A and B also have vastly different profiles. A is a classic gelato/ice cream cooler/Z terps, and my personal favorite of the plants (wish I had taken a clone of this one instead). B is the most on point for what I think of with Runtz, classic Z terps but with a slight tropical/rotten/sweetness to it. C had the misfortune of being ready to chop a little earlier than the other girls so her profile is mostly just spicey kush now. I did observe intersex flower sites but given the entire context of the diary and how the plants performed, I have to assume it was user error. No pollination observed in any of the flowers, as zero additional intersex sites occurred. The distinction between A, B and C is what I would expect from a typical F1 cannabis seed. I do not enjoy growing from seed much but these girls were manageable. Add to that the relative stability of the genetics for a Runtz recreation, and well, these are good quality beans for a great price. Not only is Zamnesia responsive and available, their confidence speaks volumes. How many vendors would have an in-house Runtz, knowing how much of a genetic-gravity-well it is in, and be confident enough to let ~200 randos grow it and show it? REVIEW - Green Sensation from Plagron: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜ I enjoyed using the green sensation, the NPK values on it make it versatile in application and a power-house in flower. I can't say I noticed anything better or dramatically improved, although comparing to Heavy 16 and asking for a marked improvement is big ask in my opinion. What I was able to do was seamlessly integrate the Green Sensation into my current routine. The additive stayed homogenous, was easily introduced into solutions with no adverse impact to the water contents or pH. Most importantly, the plants enjoyed the additive and it did accomplish the main goal of being able to wane off your primary line. In this respect, by using Green Sensation I was able to save resources by lowering my Heavy 16 inputs across the board approximately 50% and supplementing with Plagron's Green Sensation.
