*english version below* HydroLab – Woche „0“: Der Startschuss zur Blütephase „Bitte anschnallen – die Versuchspflanzen betreten jetzt die reproduktive Phase.“ Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo Photosynthese auf Wissenschaft trifft und die Pflanzen mittlerweile besser trainiert sind als mein Rücken. Diese Woche war ein echter System-Meilenstein: Letzte Vegi-Woche, Lichtwechsel, Wasserrevolution, Myko-Spa und Stretchvorbereitungen. 🌞 Licht: Die Blaulichter gehen, die Rotlicht-Ära beginnt Seit Donnerstag herrscht im Zelt 12/12 – offiziell Blütezeit. Die blauen Add-Lites wurden verfahrenstechnisch termininiert und durch rote ersetzt. Die neuen IR-AddLites haben außerdem eine Schlüsselfunktion: Sie laufen in den letzten 15 Minuten wie ein botanisches Sonnenuntergangs-Erlebnis für fortgeschrittene Pflanzenpsychologie. Kurz gesagt: 👉 Die Mädels werden jetzt schlafen geschickt wie Royalität. 💧 Wasserchemie: Die Vollentsalzungsanlage ist online Mission abgeschlossen: Die VE-Anlage wurde installiert, kalibriert und erfolgreich mit Triumphmusik eingeschaltet. Seitdem fließt durch das System: ➡️ EC-neutrales Laborwasser ➡️ pH-Perfect arbeitet wie befreit ➡️ Keine Ca/Mg-Überschüsse, keine Schwankungen Das HydroLab ist nun offiziell ISO-zertifiziert für Wasserreinheit, die selbst Kaffee-Nerds neidisch machen würde. Nährstoffversorgung aufgestockt – die Blüte beginnt ernst zu werden Der EC wurde moderat auf 1,5 angehoben, passend zum Stretch-Start. Zusätzlich zu Micro/Grow/Bloom, B52, Bud Candy und Great White gab es diese Woche:🔥 Bud Blood von Advanced Nutrients Ein kaliumreicher Booster, der laut Hersteller „die Blüte früh zündet“. Im Labor beschreiben wir es anders: 👉 „Molekulare Überzeugungsarbeit, damit die Pflanzen endlich tun, was wir wollen.“ Und es funktioniert. Die ersten Vorblüten sind bereits in der Planungsschleife. 🌱 Wurzelstatus – Mykos am Werk Die Wurzeln sehen aus wie: wuschelig cremig üppig voller Mykorrhiza Ein gesundes Myko-Netz ist immer ein gutes Zeichen – gerade beim Living-RDWC, wo die symbiotischen Organismen jetzt richtig Gas geben. 🕸️ Training: Zweites Netz installiert Das zweite Scrog-Netz wurde feierlich eingezogen. Da wir es hier mit einem fast rein sativischen Stretch-Monster zu tun haben, wird das Netz bald nicht nur genutzt, sondern ausgereizt. Die Spitzen schießen bereits motiviert durch das Gitter. Man könnte sagen: 👉 „Das botanische Volleyballfeld ist eröffnet.“ 🎬 Fazit der Woche Vegi erfolgreich beendet Blüte eingeleitet Licht optimiert Wasser perfektioniert Nährstoffe erweitert Wurzeln traumhaft Stretch: „Hold my beer…“ Das HydroLab ist startklar für eine der spannendsten Phasen überhaupt. Wenn diese SLH so weiter macht, wird das Netz in wenigen Tagen aussehen wie ein explodierter Kräuterteppich. ----------------------------------------------- HydroLab – Week 0: Initiating Bloom Protocol “Please fasten your lab coats — the test subjects have entered reproductive mode.” Welcome back to the HydroLab, where plants are trained with more precision than Olympic athletes and the line between botany and madness gets thinner by the day. This week marks a major milestone: the final veg week, the light flip, a water revolution, microbial spa treatments, and preparations for the incoming stretch. 🌞 Lighting Update: Goodbye Blue, Hello Bloom Mode As of Thursday, the system is officially running 12/12 — bloom phase initiated. The blue add-on lights have been politely removed from service, replaced with red spectrum units. Also new: IR AddLites, running during the final 15 minutes of the day to simulate a luxurious sunset for plants that take their circadian rhythm very seriously. In short: 👉 The ladies are now being tucked in like royalty. 💧 Water Chemistry Upgrade: The Deionization Unit Is Online This week, the HydroLab achieved a new level of hydration enlightenment: The deionized water system is fully installed and operational. It now feeds the entire RDWC with: EC-neutral lab-grade water perfectly predictable pH behavior zero unwanted minerals zero drift chaos The HydroLab is now officially certified for water purity that would make a barista weep. Nutrient Program Enhanced — Bloom Mode Engaged The EC was raised moderately to 1.5, just enough to fuel the stretch without cooking the roots. On top of the standard AN trio (Micro / Grow / Bloom) plus B52, Bud Candy, and Great White, the lineup now includes: 🔥 Advanced Nutrients – Bud Blood A bloom initiator designed to say: “Stop messing around and start flowering.” Laboratory interpretation: 👉 “Early-phase hormonal persuasion via potassium-rich diplomacy.” Early pistils are already in preflight mode. 🌱 Root Status Report – Mykos Doing Myko Things The roots look glorious: fluffy creamy vigorous thoroughly colonized by mycorrhiza Living RDWC in full effect — the symbiotic crew is thriving. 🕸️ Training Update: Second Scrog Net Installed The second screen is now in place. Given how sativa-dominant this strain is, the stretch is expected to fill the remaining space very quickly. The tops are already pushing upward with purpose. It looks less like a canopy and more like we’re preparing a botanical trampoline. 🎬 Weekly Conclusion Veg phase complete Bloom officially initiated Lighting optimized Water chemistry perfected Nutrients upgraded Roots looking elite Stretch incoming The HydroLab is entering one of the most exciting phases of the run. If this Super Lemon Haze keeps going like this, the scrog will look like an exploding herbal carpet within days.

On day 1 the plants are looking good. I confirmed that my one cola was seeded, so I removed all visible seed pods. After this run I will do a deep cleaning to make sure there is no pollen in my grow box. The rest of my plant colas seem fine... I changed out my reservoir and adjusted the PH to 6.1. I also dimmed my light to 75% to mimic spring conditions. On day 2 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir down to 6.1. The plants are looking great besides a few fox tails from too much light. On day 3 the PH in the reservoir is 6.2. On day 4 I diluted my reservoir with plain water to lower the ppm down to 400 ppm, and I adjusted PH to 6.2 . The buds are ripening for sure and smell great! I haven't gotten any autumn colors yet even though I have dimmed my grow light and lowered my night time temps. I hope by 8 weeks the plants will have some more purple tones but if not I'm good with the flower quality thus far :). The breeder says 7-8 weeks so I'm hoping I am close to the finish line. I will continue to monitor the trichomes for ripeness. On day 5 I adjusted the reservoirs PH to 6.0. I harvested my seeded cola on Pheno #1 as it had stopped growing/ripening and would be a good tester ;) On day 6 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. On day 7 the PH is 6.0 50 % pistils have turned amber so I believe I have entered my harvest window and expect to flush and harvest soon:) very excited!

CBD Caramel is still doing stellar and is at the top of the class as far as height. Still getting a little bug damage tho, so I sprayed with neem oil, again. Going to water in some Big Bloom and Molasses later. Really good week.

Started Germination in a glass of water (pH6,78, used 2 drops). After 24 hours transferd the seeds to a paper towel and moistend it with the water from the cup. After 24 hours you could see minor cracks and some had tiny tap roots. Let them be for another 24 hours after which they developed the tap roots you see in the last 3 video's/photo. Very happy that all the seeds came up. Choose this strain for the high yields and high thc levels.

02/01/2025: defoliation, as massive as stretch! AH is now 35 cm tall. I may have a problem 😅 02/02/2025: back in 70*70*160 spider farmer tent. I hope it will be enough. I knew Amnesia stretch was something but I hadn't yet seen it with my own eyes. It took yesterday defoliation without flinching and straightened up during the night : new height is 38 cm. Set DLI to 30 with lamp @45cm. Autopot 50 L water tank is full, bigger scrog net - dehumidifier (off for the moment) - new oscilating fan in place : with fan leaves temp about 22°C and RH near 60%, VPD is near perfect. Now, let's grow flowers for a dozen weeks...😜 02/05/2025: first Bio PK 5-8 shot... stretch is going on with 40 cm today.

18/4 So, we had an amazing week, the Runtz grow of 10 extra cm during the flowering stretching , the buds are getting rich of fuzzy withe pistils, and the smell it's getting much stronger, from the second node starting from the bottom, both the branches had split creating 2 heads on the same branch, I've never see something like this before. As you can see from the picture the lower buds are flowering a bit slower than the ones on top, now it's kind difficult take some pics since the plant grow so much!

Satisfecho con los resultados y el control sobre la temperatura con nuestro Cooltube reduciendo eficientemente cerca de 5-6 grados al armario. El itinerario para nuestro cultivo es mantener en las condiciones actuales a nuestras 5 bebes y durante la tercera semana germinar La sexta. Recordar que este diario está enfocado solo en 4 babys, macetas de 11Litros 3xGlueberry OG Auto de DutchPassion y 1xLSD-25 de FastBuds, muy buenas genéticas de muy buenos bancos que esperamos potenciar en cosecha con tecnicas de Bajo estrés incluyendo el mallado SCROG, y ya en etapa avanzada de crecimiento una tecnica de Alto estrés conocida como popping (poda de bajos) además de un casi completo programa de fertilización, contando con los nutrientes básicos de vegetacion y floracion (top veg y top bloom) y para las primeras semanas ya en uso un enraizante (Top underground) y otros productos para terminar la floración de la mejor manera posible. Sígueme en IG @cestlaweed para mayor información, y cualquier comentario o consejo es sumamente bien recibido ✨🌱

July 13: first heat wave of the year was last week, and there is another forecast for next week, but for now this is pretty ideal cannabis weather. Added a third Scrog layer and tied it off to some weights (partly filled water bottles) to open up the canopy further. Works, simple, and easy to move around the yard as needed. I really like this plant and how it’s going so far. July 14: re-scrogged again to widen the canopy further. Supercropped the ends to maintain the same elevation at the various growth tips. Four stems in middle were topped to keep them from getting ahead of the others. Experimenting to see how it goes. July 16: hot again. Increased water volume and sometimes misting air with garden hose water for the evaporative cooling. She looks great. July 17: another 32 C day. Watered four times today so likely 7-8 L in the heat with the growing plant. July 18: hot again. Mixed Power Bloom and malted Barley with some soil and added as a top dressing.Hit 34 C and 20% relative humidity which is far too hot and dry for cannabis. Lots of watering, and misting of leaves and air to provide some moisture and cooler temperatures.

I was still seeing strange things happen in the leaves but runoff pH was staying at around 6.5. One plant toppled over and started growing up from a bent stalk like an herb. I started looking for a new reflector so that I could mount my light horizontally instead of vertically to save space and ideally find a way to get the plants closer to the light without burning them. I started looking into MH bulbs as well as I figured at this point I clearly hadn't provided the light they needed. If I wanted them to thrive I needed to set them up properly for the last few weeks of veg. I transplanted this week into slightly bigger coco pots but in retrospect I feel I should have gone up to 3 gallon pots at this point.
