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.

This week I’m introducing my plant stands. It is a carousel design. They are lightweight, independent and can be put on/removed during growth with little effort or at the time of setup. I’ve had this idea for years, tried to find anything similar to it on line without success. I designed and assembled it about 2 years ago. It’s very versatile, can be modified for various uses and sizes, allows you 360 degrees access to you plant by rotation, brings you the ability to grow in a sea of green environment. Netting can be any size you desire and rotates with the plant. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Please take a look at my video this week that explains more. **The one on the plant now is actually designed for a 5 gallon bucket, I’ve simply modified it to work on this 2 gal bucket temporarily. This week she continues to outperform expectations and needed bracing because the weight of the flowers tipped her over. This was expected and remedied and all branches have now been spaced apart to allow bright lighting to penetrate deep into the plant. This is needed to mature out the lower buds. In another week I will cut back some more of the bigger leafs to allow even more light to get through. She continues to focus her energy on bud and trichome development (girth). The nutrient schedule has been updated as she is headed toward a late bloom cycle. Her smell is intensifying weekly. Maintain light power at 100% and PH at 6.24 I would highly recommend doing your own research on the blooming cycle. The change in nutrients is still controversial, but there is new and relevant studies that show of the main 3 NPK - K potassium was thought to boost flower production, the fact is this need on the plant remains relatively unchanged from vegetation through transition up to ripening. I continue to increase K in my schedule, but have started cutting back over this past year - up to 1/3 - without any noticeable difference. I have more that lends credibility to this theory I’ll explain next week. The case of bigger bud doesn’t mean anything special unless genetics and growth are in synergy. A quick note: I use General Hydroponics for nutrients and not this other one that is being listed, Terra Aquatica. I have no control over this update within Grow Diaries.

Another fun strain to run from Fastbuds, Bruce banner was amazing at a total of 83 days , came out with some thick dense resiny coated buds , an very sweet smell! Has very tight buds with tight stems so it would def be better to tie her down an open her up for some LST ! I highly recommend y’all trying Bruce Banner out , you won’t be disappointed!!

Day 35 – The Girl Scout Cookies is just starting to throw lots of pistols from the tops of her flowers. She gained about 4” in height this week and it seems vertical growth is continuing. Continuing to feed the Nectar for the Gods nutrients and have added Triton’s Trawl (liquid fishbone meal that is rich in calcium from fish cartilage and is designed to deliver flavor, aroma and color to the finished product) and Aphrodite’s Extraction (a rich blend of sucrose, fructose, chelated nutrients, and organic acids necessary for enzymatic activity, and a complete balance of vitamins A, C, D, E, B1, B6 and B12, which are essential to a plants’ biological growth processes). These two additions are known to increases oil, resin, frost, and terpene production in flower. Continuing to add Recharge as a soil amendment to establish colonies of beneficial fungal and bacterial microbes. Temperatures are consistently between 74° - 78° and humidity between 30% - 45%. Soil pH is 6.5 and PPMs at 321 which is perfect for the Nectar for the Gods nutrient line. Added a homemade Co2 generator to boost carbon dioxide levels and to improve overall plant growth and health. – Zannabis7 Day 36 - Fed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients as indicated above and in photo. Added Recharge to the nutrient mix for microbes and to aid in the breakdown and uptake of nutrients. - Zannabis7 Day 39 - Fed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients as indicated above and in photo. Again added Recharge to the nutrient mix for microbes and to aid in the breakdown and uptake of nutrients. Also did some very light defoliation and more leaf tucking to expose flower sites - Zannabis7

As we continue to thread on this amazing journey together, here’s to week 8. 🥂 Our lady has stopped stretching and started bulking. The smell each time I pick her up is insane! A real Tropicana tree 😍 She’s drinking more and I can see a slight change in bud color. Before harvest I’m aiming for amber trichomes and yellowing leaves so I’m getting my jeweler’s loop ready 🔎 This run has been pretty informative, I’m grateful for the skill and knowledge learned along the way. Week 9 should be interesting, let’s go 💚

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! From/Desde: 29/07/19 || To/Hasta: 04/08/19 From day/Desde día: 7 || To day/Hasta día: 13 -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V1: The growing of week 2, it's incredible how she twist herself 😱. P3: The setup of static cameras (tent slaves), I'm using a GoPro capturing a top timelapse video, and an iPhone capturing a frontal timelapse. The GoPro is placed under the lights and it gets too warm, i will remove this camera position later for the safety of the camera and it's battery. With the iPhone i'm using the SkyFlow App to capture timelapses. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- This is the week of transplant, i will do it on day 10, August 1rst. I will use ±1 cm of perlite in the bottom of the 19,5 l AirPot, ±3 cm of BioBizz Hard-Mix over the perlite and for the rest i will use BioBizz Light-Mix. About the growing, as you can see she's growing at a very good rate since transplant, she was not growing much the last days on the small pot so I decided to perform the transplant. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 01/08/19 - 5,000 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.9 E.C. PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- V1: El crecimiento de la semana 2, es increíble cómo gira sobre si misma 😱. P3: La configuración de las cámaras estáticas (esclavas del armario), estoy usando una GoPro capturando un timelapse desde la parte superior de la planta, y un iPhone para capturar un timelapse frontal. La GoPro está colocada justo debajo de las luces y se calienta demasiado, quitaré esta cámara de esta posición en unas semanas por la seguridad de la cámara y su batería. Con el iPhone estoy usando la app SkyFlow para hacer los timelapses. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Esta es la semana del transplante, lo haré el día 10 ó 1 de Agosto. Usaré ±1 cm de perlita en el fondo del AirPot de 19,5 l, unos ±3 cm de BioBizz Hard-Mix encima de la perlita y el resto BioBizz Light-Mix. Con respecto al crecimiento, como podéis observar la planta ha empezado a crecer a muy buen ritmo desde el transplante, no estaba creciendo mucho los últimos dias del tiesto pequeño por lo que me decidí a transplantarla. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 01/08/19 - 5.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.9 E.C. PH5.8

The buds on this strain are rock hard, the FC-E6500 was a great investment, this plant did great under it (A++ MarsHydro!!) ..we're really excited to chop this plant down. My husband has a trim job on his hands lol.. we'll be giving her water only (and lots of it) from now until we dry her out completely for harvest.. This was a great grow and should produce enough flower to get us (partly) through the Winter.. thanks as always for dropping by, our next upload will be harvest and dried buds in approx 17days..Happy harvests everyone!! ⚡Mars Hydro/FC-E6500⚡ Specifications ⚙️: 650 watt, full spectrum design, removable (and adjustable) light bars and driver 🔌 Diodes: BridgeLux chips (3978 count!)

Start of the bloom phase I got some nitrogen deficiency but I could handle the problem by giving them some extra nutes
