Week4 D1 So starting this week plants still look strong but rainbow belts is drooping like she is thirsty but her pot is heavy so I am monitoring to see if she is just being dramatic or if she is getting a slight salt build up. Will water in 2 days and check the ph of run off. I am thinking it is slightly acidic. I also see slight tip burn on a couple leaves but they were just fed and it wasn't hot so I am leaning towards the acidic water. Week4 D4 All girls got 1.5G of dechlorinated tap water at 6.7 ph and thats it. Got nats so I've been using yellow sticky tape. They are stacking heavy so end of week 5 I plan on feeding them a final dose. You can see the light tilted to accommodate the different heights. Week4 D3 I said I would water today but I am going to let them go one more day before making a decision. Rainbow Belts roots may need to breathe a bit so before I make a rash decision I will monitor. Otherwise plants are stacking well and are getting hairy and frosty. Sugar leaves are getting more abundant. Week4 D4 Each girl got 1.5G 6.7 ph water dechlorinated and rotated and thats it. They all are growing well hoping we are on track for another feeding at the end of week5. Next watering will be compost tea to revitalize microbes. Week4 D5 The next day after the 6.7ph feeding they responded well so I think my guess of low soil ph for rainbow belts was correct as well as her drying out sooner. In 5 days or so I will water with compost tea. Everything is looking strong- smell is low but my average temp is about 73degrees. I am keeping vpd between 1.3-1.4 and will hold for a few weeks before bumping up to 1.5. Debating if I want to use UV B light- anyone with any experience let me know. Later growers!

Okay, that's it, I couldn't watch her suffering like that anymore. Her trichomes could've gone a little longer, but her overall appearance clearly was over it. The lack of aroma and stickiness from the trichomes worries me, but I do know how much she struggled during flower and that the nutrient availability in the soil was off, so I'm not really surprised. I've downgraded my expectations for the end result quite a bit over the last couple of weeks to a more realistic level considering the circumstances. For drying I'm trying something new - I've got a wine chiller, a poor man's Cannatrol, that I want to keep the temps low during drying in summer and for curing and storing in general. Curious to see what effect this has on the dried buds.

Tough week put in and took out a new 85w led grow light. It was too hot in the tent and the lights burned a couple spots. Looking for ward to more flowers. She’s starting to smell like fuel and skunk. More bloom nutes this week. Going to buy a couple additives to boost it. Thinking about my next grow. And how to expand.

The plant has been cruising with no issues and right now there is not too much to report about her except that she is loving the Canadian weather and it is thriving very well in the outdoors just need to see how she will finish if she finished before October or around October. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

This week I continued trying to expose as much light as possible to the bud sites by getting rid of some fan leaves and tieing branches down as best as I could. I never quite know how much to take off the girls when they get hair cuts but I am confident there is much more light getting to the lower bud sites now. No nutes this week just ph water at 5.9 There are 3 plants that I am loving the most so far are a 6 shooter plant in a small pot, she is large a well spaced out nodes excited to see what the bud she produces is like. Never smoke any before. Very interested to try again in a 1 gallon pot. The zkittles og is another that has shocked me. She is in a larger 1 gallon fabric container an to be honest is exactly the right size and nicely bushy too. If the tent had 4 or 5 zkittles plants like that one i think It would be perfectly filled. Something else I have learned from growing multiple strains at once in a tiny space. I have smoked this before that I grew and loved it. The 3rd plant in buzzing with it the cosh kush from zamnesia. Again it's in one of the 1 gallon fabric pots its grown to a nice height for my tent with nice side branches. Grew this outside last year and got a little bit of smoke was alright I'm hoping with it been grown indoor will make it pretty dam tasty. I had a missile 33 seed going outside that's doing shit, think I gambled to early with my outside girls this year. Will take a pic of my 3 faves for you all next week if I remeber Peace 🍁

This week I’ve decided to defoliate a bit, I just hope she doesn’t die bcs of it. Had to get rid of some yellowing bottom leaves as well as big, sun blocking fan leaves! Cloudy weather all week but coming week some nice sunny days are expected again! She has a nice pungent spicy smell!

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 25Β°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 πŸ‘ 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! If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my growing techniques or insights based on your own experiences, please feel free to share them in the comments below. Let's grow together!

πŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘Š The grow was a pleasure, the smell of the buds is mouthwatering!! πŸ’œ πŸ‘Š In the middle of the grow perhaps the soil got a bit salty.. the Punch still grew well without getting flushed. She showed signs of calcium deficiency on the leaves which are most addressed by the LED. She recovered easily and delivered delicious flowers. πŸ™ The smell during the grow was so good, I couldn't wait for her to finish! 😍 Surely going to grow that one again!! πŸ’ πŸ˜‹ I also love sleeping! Effects are very relaxed. Just sloth. Muscle release, mindfuck release, all included! πŸ˜‡ Thanks everybody for visiting!! 😘 Grower love!!! πŸ’š πŸ’š πŸ’š Thanks @Fast_Buds for the great genetics!! ❀️ _________________________________________________________________________________ Strain Description: This is a giant autoflower that reaches 150cm and produces massive yields of up to 600gr/m2, a modern Cali strain that offers what a top-quality Indica-dominant hybrid should; nugs capped in resin with the density you would expect from Indica-dominant strains and that bag appeal that will surprise even the most experienced growers. Expect beautiful purple and magenta hues that come along with a sweet almost pastry-like taste and, thanks to the 24% THC, a very pleasant and potent effect that surprisingly starts as a motivating high and in no time relaxes you completely, taking a bit of the energetic edge off. Bud description Purple Punch Auto develops rounded compact buds with fat calyxes and bright orange or sometimes bright yellow hairs, with copious amounts of trichomes that give the buds that beautiful frosty look that all growers seek for. The light-green buds can exhibit subtle purple or lime-green tones that give them a charming and attractive look and complement them magnificently, while the mouth-watering mix of earthy cherries and blueberry muffins with a spicy touch will win you over even before you can see the buds. Smoke report Due to the high THC levels, you’ll experience a powerful effect that will completely relax your whole body and gradually start feeling like all your muscles are melting before you can count to three. Despite the strong Indica effect, you won’t be couch-locked thanks to the slight Sativa genes that incorporate a pleasant creative head-buzz and leaves you mellow and clear-headed in a peaceful state of mind. The perfect effect to go through a busy day stress-free, alleviating sore muscles after a long workout routine or just chill and have fun on a night out with friends. Plant appearance Due to the Indica dominancy, this strain remains relatively compact despite its height and grows wide and thick fan leaves typical of Indica-dominant varieties. You can expect a thick tall main cola and a few shorter side branches with spaced-out internodes where the incredibly frostbitten flowers develop and end up looking like buds on steroids by the end of the flowering stage. Grow tips This strain offers unique flavors and charming colors so we recommend flushing thoroughly to allow it to show its full potential and end up with the beautiful reddish-purple and/or lime-green hues on the buds and surrounding foliage. Due to the Indica genes, the buds grow denser than usual so it’s essential you tie the branches slightly so there is enough airflow in between the buds to prevent mold and bugs. This variety doesn’t require a lot of maintenance or anything extra but remember to feed her properly and with good-quality nutrients, this way you guarantee the buds fatten up properly and that your plant doesn’t suffer any kind of nutrient deficiencies. Flavor Thanks to the high-quality genetics, this strain offers a distinguishable taste of fresh blueberries and earthy cherries with spicy undertones and a pinch of sugary tart. The sweet smoke overpowers your throat with a sweet blueberry muffin-like taste as you inhale and, as you exhale, leaves a delicious coat of sweetness in your mouth that leaves you feeling like you’ve just eaten a dessert. ______________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H + 24pcs Osram 660nm + 8pcs Osram IR 730nm + 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K + 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm Β° 2x 5W Fans Β° custom 320/270 cmΒ³/h exhaust fan & Carbon Active Granulate 240cmΒ³/h Β° Mills Nutrients, Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! ❀️ If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75€) ✨ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Β° tap water EC 0,26uS upgraded to EC 0,5 with PlantMagic MagneCal - pH 8, nutrient solution downgraded to pH 6,5 with Advanced Hydroponics Minus Bloom Β° from week 4 in the same container Aptus Enzym+ once a week Β° Biobizz Lightmix πŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️ πŸ‘ŠπŸ’œ 🌧️
