And the stretch rolls on...the end of week 3 of flower saw the girls go for another reach, making me have to zip tie my lights to the roof of the tent. I put the upper trellis in and pulled some out of the direct light. Temps hover right at 85 in the day at 55-60% humidity, and drops to 70-72 at night with right at 40% humidity. The whole plants are getting super sticky to the touch. With a pungent lemon strawberry scent on your fingers. The room does not smell overly sweet with more of a earthy funk.

🙏 Ha comenzado la semana Nº7, Se han acentuado mas los olores en el cuarto de cultivo, se logran apreciar diversos botones, Espero logren crecer de manera desmedida y robusta.

Three weeks into flower and things are moving along. I defoliated some of the lower branches and spread out a few branches here and there. Other than that it's the same situation as always. Nutrients are pumping and lights are beaming. Everything is running smooth and all is well with the world. Like some namaste shit going on around here at the moment. Could very well just be the calm before the storm...

So, with these interesting times and what is becoming a fast evolving global catastrophe. I, myself, along with the rest of you ( I hope ) can take some solace in looking after our gardens, to have some peace away from the news, to give our ladies the best care we are able to provide 🌱 If you ever needed any vindication or validation as to why growing your own is best. More than half the world currently in lockdown, and with MJ in short supply, our actions speak for themselves! Anyway, back to this diary. I done a lot of work on the room, invested a lot and tried to make everything as automated as possible. Everything runs on smart plugs, the hydroponic system is DIY and is RDWC which is cooled with a Hailea 150a. 6 plants is what I am going for this time, with a shorter veg length compared to the last grow. I prefer to wait until they show their sex, but if they don’t by week 5, I plan on flipping anyway all being well. I am using 730nm LED’s that come on 15 mins before lights on, turn off during lights on, and then they come back on when lights go out, and stay on for 15 mins. This should enable me to run 13/11 during flower with little risk. I am also going to add a UVB fixture to my custom rig which will only be used during the final 2 weeks of flower. I have 3 Alibaba lights attached to a custom rig, they really are awesome lights. I tested the room out with an Apogee SQ-520 par meter (PAR map in pics). I have dimmed them down, so PAR is around 500 across the whole canopy, this will be increased to 1000 once they’re flipped. I vent from my house, to the room and then outside, this increases the CO2 in the room, which I think helped the yields on the last grow, generally CO2 hovers between 470 and 700 PPM. My ladies look a little sick, but tbh, I struggle starting out in Rockwool, and things usually correct themselves within a couple weeks. With the quarantine I have struggled to pick up a humidifier that is capable of maintaining that room, so it has been all over the place since the start. I have opted to go with Royal Gorilla this cycle, let’s see if it’s as potent as RQS says that it is! Good luck all and take care...

Weekly Update: Highs, Lows, and Care Bears Sep 28: Not much work needed on the solution today except for dialling back the pH from 6.1 down to 5.5. I also cranked the Lumatek up to 50% power. To avoid scorching the tops, I adjusted the light height accordingly, bringing the intensity right up to 500 µmol/m²/s PPFD. Sep 29: I flew a little too close to the sun today. Working with only one functional hand makes delicate training tricky at the best of times. While low-stress training (LST) the branches for the mainlining setup, I got a bit too heavy-handed with the tie-downs without realizing it right away. Sep 30: Well, disaster struck. I opened the tent to find one of the main shoots completely wilted and dangling. In my rush to fix and support it, my clumsy attempt ended up snapping the opposing shoot on the main stem as well! You can see in the photos just how brutal those deep stem tears look right at the node. I managed to secure and tape both shoots back together, but this severe structural damage has set their development back significantly. Time will tell how much recovery is possible over the coming week. Oct 01: Topped up the reservoirs today with roughly 1.5 liters of fresh nutrient solution per bucket. Parameters are sitting rock solid at EC 1.5 mS/cm and pH 5.5. Oct 02: Curiosity got the better of me. I wanted to check on how the damaged shoots were healing and ended up making things worse while trying to "fix" them again. The left side branch seems to be toughing it out, but the right side branch is noticeably stunted now. Other than that, just a tiny pH tweak. Oct 03: Did a light defoliation today, just like the previous two days. Nothing major, just selectively clearing a few fan leaves to expose light to the shaded inner shoots. I’m considering cutting my losses, chopping off the severely stunted branch, and running Plant #1 as a 3-main setup instead. I’ve decided to sleep on it until next week. If it doesn't bounce back, I’ll rotate Plant #1 and push it closer to the tent wall to give Plant #2 the stage because Plant #2 is absolute madness right now, growing exponentially day by day. Oct 04: Continued training and shaping the mains today. On Plant #2, I was already able to top the first two side shoots to establish the target 8 main colas for the mainline. Things remain intense, especially watching how Plant #1 copes with its trauma. I’ve officially placed two Care Bears in the net pot pumice because Plant #1 genuinely needs all the care it can get right now (and I seriously need to stop over-fiddling with it!).

Hopefully he puts on size in the next week or two

Malas noticias con Nefertiti todavía no creció. La saqué del papel húmedo y ahora nuevamente está con agua, la dejaré así 1 o 2 días y luego la plantare directamente. Las 2 CSSH que germine fueron exitosas, una con una raíz de 5-6mm y otra de 3-4mm, ya fueron trasladadas a tierra como se ve en la imagen. La primer CSSH todavía no creció , tengo miedo que haya tomado mucha humedad la tierra y no haya descargado correctamente. En esta ocasión agregué unas muy pocas gotas de una hormona de enraizado, he tirado unos pocos milímetros de agua en cada una , guarde mucho para los días consecuentes.

Coming soon

Rocking and rolling now. Still stretching and the bud sites are def growing.

Soweit, sogut ..... Erste Blätter bekommen eine lila Farbe, Knospen werden langsam dichter ... Tag 58 ... Wetter wieder kälter, kaum Sonne 😐

Siamo entrati ufficialmente in fioritura con le piante più vecchie,sono tutte molto grandi a parte una che é rimasta più piccola,questo indica una genetica stabile,abbiamo ancora un mese di tempo,continuiamo questo viaggio

Not using nutrients for the first 4-5 weeks but will be using floratrio and Cali magic when the time comes.

Seconda settimana di solo acqua, sono al 78 giorno e la pianta continua a fare crescere nuove gemme nella cola principale, è la mia prima coltivazione e sono completamente inesperto, ho fatto germinare il seme in un panno umido, messo in un bicchiere e dopo 2 settimane circa lo ho travasato in un vaso da 6l con del terriccio comprato al discount e ( 6 uova marce ) non ho utilizzato nessun fertilizzante per la fase vegetativa e innaffiato con acqua del rubinetto. Dopo la 5 settimana sono spuntati i primi peletti bianchi e allora ho utilizzato Easy Bloom boster fioritura di RQS per altre 4/5 settimane, poi ho comprato un misuratore di pH digitale scoprendo che il pH dell'acqua era superiore al 7,5 adesso utilizzo del succo di limone per abbassare il pH fino al 6,2. La pianta non ha mai sofferto nulla è sempre stata forte e mi ha sorpreso nella resa, cime sempre più grosse e profumate. Adesso però non so quando tagliare e come, stavo pensando che ormai è giunto il momento

Hey guys, The end is near, I think. I hope to get lots of buds and weight from this girls, she was nice from the start, a huge plant, beautiful genetics... a strong being, I thank the universe for her. It was my dream to grow a NL and it was much more then I expected. Im so happy. Last feeding this week and the next weeks are going to be just pure amazonian water... :) Added some trichome images from my small microscope, it is from a bottom bud that was shaded so I cut it. Even so I think it was good and growing, so I thought "why should I took the popcorn?" - next time I will not cut anything, not even a leaf. Let's see if it makes a difference. So, do you think about the trichomes? The big buds up there are more ripe and developed, but judging from this small bottom bud... she's getting there? :) How much weight do you think she can yield, dry? Thanks for being here with us! Tchau, do Brazil!

The Black Runtz scared me to death because one didn't germinate, a big insult for a stubborn person like me. Two days of fear but we already have two plants and maybe a third is on the way. That's why they're still in the biodegradable pot but we're only talking about a few days late, no problem. They're cute and in great shape. For now I've put in fertilizer to root and special enzymes that transform the residues of previous plants into nourishment....perfect I'd say to renew the soil as best as possible. Never stop at the first good results guys, always improve and it's fuel for the next day, to keep the passion alive and have results. Growing Projects -----In this case we were a little late and I planted two plants together. Giving up Main Cola is always a big sacrifice. To avoid depression and to give a better vision to our super trusted breeder, home breeder and Zamnesia heart breeder we make a plant in topping x16 and a straight one preserving the main cola. The first week went only with Power Roots 1 Ml/l and Pure Zym 1ml/l from now on we start with ALga Grow. The plants were transplanted shortly after germination because the biodegradable pots were very small. The soil is Plagron Pro Mix 100% organic renewed with 30% new soil and 20% Perlite added. (Pro mix don't have perlite but is airy we added anyway) Plagron fertilizers are available on Zamnesia in convenient Pack formats for all growing styles. I used this with a simple search you can find the other products. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/12119-plagron-top-grow-box-100-natural.html Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy... ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11159-zamnesia-seeds-black-runtz.html Zamnesia Description // Black Runtz comes from a truly legendary genetic pool. Our breeders used three modern classics from the United States to create this strain: Zkittlez, Gelato, and Runtz. With 20% THC and flavors of grapes and berries, Zkittlez passed on her delicious flavors and relaxing effects. Gelato contributed to Black Runtz's immense flavor profile by passing on high concentrations of the terpenes limonene and humulene. Finally, Black Runtz inherited the high potency of the original Runtz, a strain with a respectable 21% THC. The end result of this 3-way cross is a strain with 55% indica genetics and 45% sativa. Black Runtz boasts rapid flowering times, high potency, and contrasting yet balanced terpenes that support its delicious flavor profile.

If you have proposals available.

gsc is about a week away from harvest blueberry will be shortly after and og kush plus blueberry muffin are a little longer still, they were slow to start flowering.

So i dont think i need to explane much XD you can see it all in the Videos 😍
