Einen wunderschönen guten Tag, liebe Grow-Community, und herzlich willkommen zur 26. und damit zu meiner letzten Woche meines kleinen Outdoorprojekts! Was war das für eine Reise, liebe Growcommunity, von Höhen bis Tiefen war alles dabei …😁 Nachdem letzte Woche fast alle Pflanzen gefällt wurden, ist heute der Lemon Tree dran. Die Ernte-Reports lade ich im Laufe der nächsten Tage hoch, da ich immer noch eine Kleinigkeit zu den einzelnen Strains und ihrem Anbauverhalten schreiben möchte. In diesem Report möchte ich die Saison noch einmal kurz Revue passieren lassen und eine kleine Aussicht auf zukünftige Projekte geben. Zur Saison: Was anfangs mit einem Indoor-Disaster begann, hat sich über den doch an manchen Stellen (mal wieder) eher bescheidenen Sommer zu einem doch ganz passablen Ernteergebnis mit 7(9) doch sehr unterschiedlichen und auf ihre Art besonderen Genetiken entwickelt. Ich habe diese 26 Wochen viel ausprobiert und doch echt noch eine ganze Menge über diese vielseitige Pflanze gelernt (und das, obwohl ich den Spaß schon ein bisschen mache). Und trotz allem werde ich. Ich werde mich doch wahrscheinlich etwas aus dem Outdoor-Game zurückziehen und das hat folgende Gründe: Ein entscheidender Punkt ist einfach der Grund, dass man wenig bis gar keinen Einfluss auf die Witterung hat und nie wirklich das volle Potenzial der Genetiken ausschöpfen kann. Sei es unerwarteter Regen, zu kalte Nächte oder der gute alte Sturm. Die Kombination mit der langen Kultivierungszeit ist doch oft eher mit Glücksspiel verbunden. Des Weiteren werde ich für die kommende Saison umziehen und den Spot (der wirklich die möglichst optimalen Bedingungen schafft) erst mal nicht bespielen. Zudem ergeben sich für das kommende Jahr viele Veränderungen und ich werde wahrscheinlich nicht die Zeit für so ein Projekt haben. Aber wir werden sehen... Was ich auf jeden Fall beibehalten werde, sind diese kleinen Reports jede Woche und der Austausch mit den Leuten auf dieser Seite. Ich habe mich über jede Rückmeldung eurerseits gefreut sowie über das wirklich positive Feedback. An dieser Stelle möchte ich mich bei euch allen bedanken, dass ihr mich auf diesem Weg begleitet habt, und hoffe, ihr hattet dabei genauso viel Spaß wie ich. Wenn der ein oder andere noch etwas mitnehmen konnte, noch besser!😊 In der Zukunft wird es hier (Stand jetzt) eher in Richtung Indoor/Living gehen. Einfach weil man mehr Einfluss auf die Klimaparameter hat und schlichtweg mehr aus den Genetiken rausholen kann (zumindest bei solchen Sommern wie diesem und letztem). Was die Genetiken angeht, wird es spannend bleiben. Während dieser Bericht lief, habe ich im Hintergrund fleißig Seeds gehortet. Und so haben sich das ein oder andere Päckchen aus dem Hause Karma Genetics (dem Master of Sours) sowie sq1 genetics + deren Schwesterfirma Robin Hood Seeds zu der Sammlung gesellt. Ob es jetzt genau die werden (oder doch eine von den gefühlt 2000 anderen Packs), kann ich euch allerdings noch nicht versprechen.😁 Ich denke auch darüber nach, mir einen Instagram-Account für Bilder und Videos in einer besseren Auflösung zu erstellen (nichts für ungut, Grow Diaries, aber manchmal sehen die Bilder aus, als hätte man sie mit einer versteckten Kamera aufgenommen). Aber was man so hört, bringt Instagram da auch seine Tücken mit sich. Aber auch hier werden wir sehen … Da ich keinen richtigen Ernteslot für die Blueberry sowie die Theia S1 habe. Füge ich sie diesem Bericht bei. Ein bisschen traurig bin ich ja schon, dass es jetzt zu Ende geht, aber gedanklich bin ich ehrlich gesagt schon bei der Planung neuer Projekte (man muss ja in Bewegung bleiben). Ich will einige Sachen in meinem Bericht stilistisch verändern, sowie die Aufbereitung der Berichte. Für den Anfang bin ich aber ganz zufrieden. Das soll es ein letztes Mal gewesen sein ( das klingt so endgültig, ist es aber nicht). Noch einmal ein großes Dankeschön an jeden, der das hier begleitet hat. Mögt ihr immer eure Traum-VPD halten und dem Schimmel fernbleiben …😊 Peace!!

The plant moved back to high light of Sanlight, I felt it was in need of that in this phase. The smell is starting to get stronger but mild still. Lime with sweet undertones of Cannabis classic! I am personally not a big fan of Lime, but I'm eager to see this plant it's last week's.

2020-07-24 (Day 129) This girl and her Bruce Banner sister have cow manure mixed in and this is the first week I’ve added nutes. Leaves weren’t yellowing but I felt that overall the plants were pale throughout, especially compared to her clone. From here on out I’m more or less letting her do her thing. I’ll likely have to add supports once she starts bulking up with flowers. I’ll also have to move her and her BB3 sister in my yard once flowering initiates as the sun will be blocked more by my hedges come that time. I’ve added a picture of her beside her untrained clone in a two gallon pot. This clone leads me to believe that left untrained this thing would grow into a massive tree! It’s been sunny and warm with little rain, so far knock on wood an amazing summer for growing outdoor. Stay tuned, flowering is just around the corner!

Well the last week the plant has started to show some amber trenchomes and as of today I'm seeing roughly 25% amber on the lower section of the plant. So today I start flushing. I know a lot of people say you don't have to flush but I disagree when it comes to hydro systems. Soil I get it trying to flush out all the nutrients is technically "impossible", I still do. But with hydro your plant has been directly absorbing the nutrients from the water with zero buffers like soil or coco and I find you can really taste it when you smoke it if you don't do a proper flush. I use the grotek final flush blueberry myself. The 500ml bottle I picked up a year ago when I did my blueberry has lasted a long time lol. My aerogarden grow box is going to be down for 2 weeks when this is done this grow. Got to make a few minor tweaks and then it'll be back up. Happy growing everyone

🗓️ 3° WEEK FLO // DAY 15-21 (from switch) // DAY 92-98 (from dry seed) ⚡- Light: 40 cm / 200 watt; ⌛- Schedule: 12/12; 🌡️- 23° C - 65% RH average; 📑- PH 5.9 - EC 2; 💧- #1 is drinking a lot! Love it! 😍 ✂️- A new big haircut for them on DAY 15 FLO. Removed most of the leaves and a some lower branches, specially on the #1; 🥅- Still bending the #1 branches trough the ScrOG-net; 🌱- Flowering is ongoing, they're pretty fine. Both are not stretching as I expected, maybe due the gradual approach to the switch. That's a good info for the next time but I would have appreciated a bit more stretching, specially on the #2.

Week 1 Flowering: The Stretch is On! ​Update: We’ve officially wrapped up the first week of flower (Day 8 since the first 12/12 flip). The girls have really hit their stride and the stretch is in full effect—it’s amazing to see how much they’ve picked up speed over these past few days. Nebula and Caramba are looking strong, with that deep, healthy green color I love to see. ​Training & Defoliation: I’ve been heavy on the maintenance this week. I’ve done a solid round of defoliation below the ScrOG net to ensure maximum airflow and direct all that energy into the bud sites. Every now and then, I’m also plucking a few larger fan leaves from the canopy if they're shading the lower growth too much. It’s all about getting that light penetration dialed in from the start. ​Climate Challenges: It’s been a bit of a battle with the temps lately. I’ve been dealing with some heat spikes in the garage, which is definitely the biggest challenge right now. I’ve just made a major setup change—venting the exhaust directly outside the garage. It’s already showing signs of improvement, and it's a huge relief to know I'm not just recirculating that hot air. ​I’m currently running HPS, but I’ve got my eyes on the prize: a new LED setup is coming in 2-3 weeks. I’m confident that will be the game-changer I need to stabilize the microclimate. Just gotta push through this heatwave until the upgrade arrives! ​Current Vibe: Despite the climate hurdles, the plants are showing great resilience. They’re thirsty, happy, and starting to form those early bud sites. I’m keeping a close eye on the VPD and staying consistent with the feeding. Can’t wait to see how they fill out that net as the stretch continues! ​Stay tuned, more to come!

Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. I'm a bit bummed about this grow. I've read that you just need to force a plant to flower, that's 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark for the first 3 weeks (I had a tent inside the greenhouse) and then put it outside and it will continue to flower. I thought that was amazing, so I wanted to give it a try. Well, here we are at the end of the 7th week and it looks like the plants are going back into veg. Last year I didn't do up the tent for the last 2 weeks and everything was fine so I thought I would give this keeping it open after the 3rd week a try. Now I know. I can always turn it into hash, maybe dry ice hash. Here's another reason I'm bummed about this grow. I've got spider mites. I'm doing my best to knock them down with my hypochlorous acid. I'm spraying twice a week, but had some yellowish looking leaves, I reread the article (I put up a pic of it a few of weeks ago) and found I had to rinse the indoor plants. So after I sprayed the 1/2 strength acid I waited 10 minutes and rinsed with water. Today I can see more mites than when I sprayed before. So next time I'll wait till the 1/2 acid mix is dry before I rinse the leaves and see if that knocks them down more. If you don't try new things you don't learn. That's what this grow is about, to see if the plants can still keep flowering at my latitude and now that I have mites, to see if the hypochlorous acid will work without killing the plants. Yes, I'm 60 something and still learning. 😃 Be Great. Chuck.

🌿 Week 11: Frosty Heights & Real Talk (Flower Week 6) First off, apologies for the slight delay! Usually, I drop these updates on Monday, but I was out celebrating my 25th birthday yesterday and, well... let’s just say things got a little out of control, haha! But I'm back in the tent now, and the girls didn't seem to mind the extra day of peace. Welcome to Week 11. We are deep in the flowering phase (Week 6), and the tent is looking like a winter wonderland. But let’s keep it real – while the frost is insane, it hasn't been a "perfect" run since it’s my first experience with living soil. Here’s the honest breakdown. 🛠️ The Big Defoliation & Adjustments The canopy got so thick that I had to perform one last major defoliation. I removed a significant amount of the large fan leaves that were shading the lower bud sites. It’s always a tough call this late in the game, but it was absolutely necessary to get that light penetration down to the secondary colas and improve RH. Combined with raising the entire tent to save the tops from light stress, the environment is now much more balanced. If you look closely at some of the upper leaves, you can still see a bit of "tacoing" (curling edges) from the previous light intensity and buds on the top of the sweet spot are not very well bulked because of heat stress by light. I caught it likely and the "scars" remained. 🌱 Organic Struggles & Success The "Autumn Fade" is hitting harder than I expected. The remaining fan leaves are yellowing quite aggressively. In living soil, this usually means the nitrogen is running low what I read as the plant focuses everything on the buds. I’m letting nature take its course, but I’ll keep an eye on it to make sure they have enough gas to reach the finish line. • The Scrog Management: My canopy isn't perfectly level. I have a few "underdogs" getting shadowed by the main colas even after the defoliation. It’s a lesson for next time – I need to be even more aggressive with LST early on to keep everything in one uniform plane. 📊 Stats & Environment: • Genetics: Banana Purple Punch Auto (FastBuds) • Status: Bulking phase. • RH: Dropped to 45%-40% – absolutely critical now to prevent any bud rot in these dense clusters. • Temp: 22-26°C. • Aroma: A heavy mix of tropical fruit sweets and gassy undertones. It’s not a catalog grow, it’s a real grow. The "girls" are finishing strong despite the big hiccups. Thanks for riding along with me growmies, one love! 💜🤜🏼🤛🏻 Wondrej

Vegetation: To keep temperature and moisture on optimal levels at around 23°C / 65% I'm using two mechanical timers. - 24/7 on: Fans and water pumps (+Ventilation after 3.11.) - Timer 1: Lights and Humidifier 18h on / 6h off - Timer 2 (BROKEN 3.11.): Ventilation 18h (15min on / 15min off) / 6h off NOTES: Everything looks good and the roots have appeared from almost every (11/13) rock-wool cube. From now on I'll mostly water the plants from bottom by adding the wanted amount of nutrient solution on a plate, and then placing the plant on top of for ~15seconds This week I'm also starting to prepare the hydroponic systems (2x NFT-GT90, and 1x EBB-flow I think) and stronger nutrient solution since my plants are becoming ready to be transferred. Spreader-mat is the base of my plants when I have transferred them in to the hydroponic systems. DO NOT place more than one layer of the spreader-mat as it is not meant to be used like that! As you're cutting the mat for NFT's, be aware to have some extra for your peace to reach nutrient solution below the tray. That way you won't get noise from water dropping when systems are turned on. Day 15 (1.11.) Day 16 (2.11.) First watering with a bit stronger nutrient-solution (~ EC 0,6 / pH 5,9) than before, starting with 50ml/plant and watering once from above. Slowly increasing EC to 0,8. I cleaned and assembled 2 out of 3 hydroponic-systems which I'm going to use. I'll do the same also to the last system, but it currently has my plants on top of it so I'm going to do it later. I want to make sure that my plants have built healthy and big enough root system before transplanting to hydroponics. I'm waiting for the rock-wool cubes to be bursting of roots so they won't drown on their first day in hydro. Also, as the plants are bigger before the transplant, I'm able to fill my nutrient-solution tanks full with correct strength nutrient-solution for Mid-Vegetation from the start, therefore no need for that much adjusting later on. Day 17 (3.11.) I noticed my other timer which controls the lights had stopped working... The lights were on when they shouldn't have been, I noticed it an hour after they were supposed to turn off. I think I caught up to it early, but it may have been on for maximum of 2 days straight. No worries there since on vegetation-phase the plants don't necessarily need any sleep (Even though you should avoid quick changes like that!). Roots have appeared from the bottom of every cube and plants are looking pretty healthy. I think they are almost ready for hydroponics. Day 18 (4.11.) Few plants are showing symptoms of nutrient deficiences or some sort of sickness, not certain what exactly. I'll be keeping an eye on it. I'll be transferring in to hydroponic systems in maybe a week, so I don't want to stress my plants more than what's necessary. Increased my solution strength to 0,9 EC with a bit more Cal-Mag than before, and watered the plants for 50-150ml each plant depending on weight and size. I'll be slowly increasing the strength by around 50% during upcoming week. Thanks for tips! Day 19 (5.11.) Day 20 (6.11.) Plants are recovering well from deficiences and I just transferred all of them to hydroponics. I don't have the water pumps on for 24/7 just yet, at this point I water them a couple times a day by keeping the pumps on for somewhere around 15min at a time. Lights are now set to 60% and I also added a tower fan to circulate the air and shake the plants. Day 21 (7.11.) Lights are now set to 70% since the Led's and plants are spreaded wider in the tent than before. Distance to plants stays the same at 75cm.
