Thanks for swinging by and checking out the grow so far! So this week we are switching to flowering and taking a flood cycle out of the feeding schedule. The hydro plants are catching up to the soil plants and the tent is really starting to fill out ! Me and my partner have been keeping up on the training and were very happy with the results. I think we achieved the canopy look we were shooting for, so time to flower !! Were still following the floral series feeding scheduled within reason. The soil plants still have a little burn on the tips but we were overfeeding them, newbie mistake, but were flushing them with fresh water to give them a break. We cant wait to see the what happened in the weeks to come. Waiting to see what kind of stretch we get from them. EDIT:: mid week. The plants still have a great growth rate and are noticeably different every day. We went ahead and pulled them out of the buckets and gave them a good trimming before they get through the net. LST is paying off, we have a bunch of top growth so hopefully we get the sea of green look were going for.

Fat Bastard Auto by MSNL 👉Sponsored Grow👈 W5F2 7/27-8/2 This week I’m still trying to resolve lockout issues on two other plants in the tent by lowering the feed solution ph. I usually ph down the water to 6.6-6.8 and discovered the soil ph rose to +9. This high alkaline status contributed, if not caused the nutrient lockout. This week, I lowered the intake ph to 6.35. This reduced the runoff ph to 7.0-7.82. On 7/30 I saw spots on Fat Bastard. It appears she has been affected by the high ph in the nutrient solution. When I discovered the spots, I put her in the bathtub and flushed her with 2 gallons. 7/31 more spots so I flushed another gallon. Let’s see if I caught and stopped the problems in time. I have been watering 1500 ml with 100ml run off. This is low and I will Increase water to 1750ml next time. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Let’s continue to learn to grow together! Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Woche 17 | Blütewoche 1 – Der Stretch ist eröffnet! Mit dem Wechsel auf 12/12 ist die Laughing Buddha sofort in den Stretch gestartet und hat keine Zeit verschwendet. Innerhalb der ersten Blütewoche legte sie bereits 16 cm an Höhe zu. Ehrlich gesagt hätte ich mit einem so schnellen Start nicht gerechnet. Das dritte SCROG-Netz hängt inzwischen an seinem Platz und war genau zur richtigen Zeit bereit. Aktuell fehlen den meisten Spitzen nur noch etwa 5–10 cm, bis sie das Netz erreichen. Genau so hatte ich mir den Ablauf vorgestellt. Diese Woche habe ich außerdem mein Bewässerungskonzept komplett umgestellt. Statt alle paar Tage große Mengen Wasser zu geben, bekommt die Buddha jetzt täglich etwa 5 Liter. Der Hintergrund ist einfach: Ich möchte den lebenden Bio-Boden möglichst konstant leicht feucht halten, damit die Mikroorganismen dauerhaft arbeiten können und die Nährstoffe kontinuierlich verfügbar bleiben. Bisher gefällt mir das Ergebnis richtig gut. Besonders spannend sind dabei meine Bodensensoren. Einer der beiden Sensoren lag über Wochen selbst nach einer Gabe von 10 Litern meist nur bei 8–11 %. Seit der Umstellung auf kleinere, häufigere Wassergaben reagiert dieser Bereich plötzlich deutlich stärker und erreicht nach dem Gießen inzwischen Werte von fast 50 %. Für mich ist das ein klares Zeichen, dass der komplette 40-Liter-Wurzelballen mittlerweile aktiv arbeitet und das Wasser gleichmäßiger verteilt wird. Genau deshalb macht es so viel Spaß, diese Sensoren über längere Zeit zu beobachten – man erkennt Entwicklungen, die man von außen niemals sehen würde. Passend dazu steigt jetzt auch der Wasserverbrauch spürbar an. Mit Beginn des Stretchs zieht die Pflanze täglich deutlich mehr Wasser aus dem Substrat. Die Sensorverläufe werden von Tag zu Tag steiler, gleichzeitig bleiben die Kurven aber schön gleichmäßig. Genau dieses Verhalten hatte ich mir von der neuen Gießstrategie erhofft. Auch das Klima läuft momentan richtig stabil. Die Lampe wird aktuell nicht über Prozentwerte, sondern über den Abstand zum Blätterdach gesteuert. Mit rund 720 PPFD, etwa 24 °C und einem VPD um 1,4 kPa fühlt sich die Buddha offensichtlich sehr wohl. Den PPFD-Sensor passe ich alle paar Tage an die Höhe der obersten Triebe an, damit die Lichtintensität während des Stretchs möglichst konstant bleibt. Diese Methode gefällt mir inzwischen deutlich besser als eine reine Leistungssteuerung. Der Stamm entwickelt sich inzwischen zu einem echten Monster. Erst mit einem Feuerzeug oder meiner kleinen Buddha-Figur daneben wird deutlich, wie massiv das Grundgerüst geworden ist. Unter dem Blätterdach herrscht nach dem Lollipopping weiterhin viel Platz und Luft, während sich oberhalb des Netzes eine nahezu geschlossene, gleichmäßige Krone entwickelt hat. Genau das war das Ziel der langen Vegetationsphase. Mein persönliches Highlight dieser Woche ist allerdings der Zeitraffer. Die komplette erste Stretchwoche wurde aufgezeichnet und zum ersten Mal sieht man richtig, wie sich das gesamte Blätterdach Tag für Tag anhebt. Im Alltag fallen ein oder zwei Zentimeter kaum auf – im Zeitraffer wirkt es dagegen, als würde die Pflanze ständig in Bewegung sein. Genau auf diesen Moment habe ich mich seit dem Flip gefreut. Jetzt beginnt die richtig spannende Phase. Wenn die Laughing Buddha dieses Tempo beibehält, wird sie das dritte Netz schon sehr bald erreichen. Ich bin unglaublich gespannt, wie viel Stretch in den nächsten zwei Wochen noch dazukommt. Das Fundament steht jedenfalls – jetzt darf sie zeigen, was wirklich in ihr steckt.

DAY 63, the grow box is now fully functional again, new extractor, new handmade softbox, back to 18/6 schedule, max temp=33°C, RH=50% (I know it's a bit high for flowering stage but I check carefully the plants and so far, nothing is wrong) 3 plants are frosty, I can see the trichomes with the microscope so I stopped the nutrients for them and flush with water pH 6,2, do you guys think I'm doing well ? For the 7 others: - 1 hasn't flowered, I keep her but I know shell never give nothing. - 6 are growing and I keep giving nutrients (Biogrow, Biobloom, Topmax and Bioheaven)

Have had a battle with these ladies from thieves , powdery mildew , and now bud rot. These pictures are from my lowest branches on the plan and let’s just say I’m already going to get roughly 6 oz or more just from two of the lowest branches. The rest of the plant is starting to take off and flower should be done in about 2 kore weeks or so 😁 overall I’m pretty happy with my ladies as they’re just hitting 12 feet 🤯

9/16/23 - Day 106 - Today was the last day of nutes. Tomorrow I start my 6 day flush with just PH 6.1 water. This is the last step before the chop! I'll throw some pictures up tomorrow of the last water exchange. I'll take some videos of the process as well. 9/17/23 - Day 107 - I added a video uptop to show how a manual water change is completed. There are two options when you start your grow to either use a water hook up or add and remove water manually. I got the unit so quickly that I didn't have my water hook up ready. For the next grow it will be ready for automatic everything. Over the next 6 days I'm going to let her drink up as much water as she can then on the 23rd I will harvest and then hang them in the box to dry. 9/22/23 - Day 112 - I've been on vacation for the past week. I turned 40 on the 18th and I took the family to Disneyland. I've had someone managing the box for me in my absence. The box is so easy to use the person who is house sitting was able to keep the operation going. That's a great sign that anyone can do this. Tomorrow is the chop! I'm super excited! So far this week she has been taking in 2x the amount of water than normal. She's dying and she knows it! She still looks just as green, no welting. Looking good. Check out the photo up top. I just got home after a CRAZY long drive home. The plant still looks the same as far as color. I was expecting her to welt, and to have yellow leaves. But she looks like shes still doing good. This is nuts. Shes not really showing any signs of dying even though shes been in .7 ppm for over a week! I may let it go another day or two? Im not really sure, I'm in super unchartered territory, you're all going to learn this along with me. Ill post updates.

Day 141 10/06/25 Tuesday Harvested the Orange Apricot Glue XL today! This run of autos I haven't done any dark period before harvest except, I managed to catch them just as lights were coming on. She has performed amazingly in consideration that she was only in a 2.5L pot. In hindsight, I now know I am able to do a SOG with small auto pots. Making for an exciting next run. Upon harvesting the OAG XL, The pungent smell of citrus, diesel and fruity twists is intoxicating. The buds are dense and compact, with formed calyx's boasting with trichomes. Wet weight on this was 427g of buds. (All wet trim gets dried in hangers and used for making butter later) To my suprise a super easer one to trim as she was mainly buds and fan leaves. She is now hanging drying in a 80x80 tent , with a small fan on low @ netted window entrance, facing down to circulate air from bottom to top. An exhausting fan with carbon filter also runs 2x a day for 1 hour. This lasted for 8days before humidity dropped to 49%. I have now put into containers to allow inner moisture to pull through now. After 3-4 more days she will have final trim and placed into Terp Loc Grove Bags to cure. Once curing I shall do a smoke report, dry bud weight, and update journal. Thank you to everyone who followed along for this one, the comments and support! GROWERS LOVE TO APOLLO @ SWEET SEEDS, for allowing us to play with these fun genetics 💚🤜🤛

Whats up GD !!! ------------- GROWTH------------- The plant is growing more leaves, but the flowering is getting weird, i dunno what is going to happen, im giving her like 16 hours, 6am-10pm. Weather is the worst i have ever seen in years, last year summer stayed until October, and now the counterpart haha, Nature things.. im letting the plant to decide what to do so, cause is in advanced flowering, gave her a bigger pot (25L) to manifest the fact that she has more soil avaliable. ------------- IRRIGATION------------- 2l, watering aprox each 2-3 days, when soils is dry. 1 of 2 irrigations with nutes, and the other with ph adjusted water. Deeper Unerground 2ml/L, for transplant. ------------- NUTRIENTS------------- Bio-Grow (3.5ml/l). Green Explosion (1ml/l) --------------------------------------- Good vibes !! _06/06/2018_
