*english version below* Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo die Pflanzen offiziell beschlossen haben, dass Photosynthese ihr Vollzeitjob ist – und wo der Wissenschaftler (also ich) mit Kabelbindern, Big Bud und einem neuen Spielzeug bewaffnet durchs Unterholz kriecht. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Statusbericht – Die Damen gehen ins Blühen über Blütewoche 2 ist nahezu abgeschlossen und das Labor bestätigt: Bud Blood hat seinen Dienst getan. Überall zeigen sich kleine Blütencluster, wie winzige Supernovae aus weißen Stempeln. Ich habe zu Beginn der Woche leicht entlaubt – aber die SLH hat das bereits wieder vollständig verschluckt. Wirklich, die wächst schneller zu als ein Reddit-Thread über Hydroponik eskaliert. 🌿 Großer Friseurbesuch angekündigt Für Ende der kommenden Woche steht das an, was ich nur “Operation Kahlschlag” nenne: Extremes Lollipoppen unter dem ersten Netz Entlauben zwischen den beiden Netzen Canopy-Optimierung oben (alles, was kein Licht sieht → weg) Luftzirkulation erhöhen Energie nur noch in Blüten, nicht in Laub Wie ein botanischer Beauty-Salon – nur mit mehr Schere und weniger Smalltalk. ⚙️ Systemparameter – Die Laborwerte EC: stabil bei 1.5 pH: 5.8–6.0 Nährlösung: 19°C konstant (Wasserchiller küsst perfekt) Raumtemperatur: 25°C RLF: 58–60% (glücklicher VPD-Bereich für Stretch-Ende) Dünger: Bud Blood abgeschlossen seit heute Big Bud im Tank Entlaubung: leicht, Hauptschnitt folgt Under-canopy-flow: hervorragend, Struktur steht massiv und offen Alles in allem: Wachstum, Farbe, Stretch und Blütenbildung → absolut on point. Neues Spielzeug im Labor Ja – es ist passiert: Ich habe mir ein Bud-Mikroskop gegönnt. Ab jetzt heißt es: „Keine Trichome entkommen der Analyse.“ Die nächsten Wochen werden also sehr detailliert. 🌸 Optische Beobachtung – Blütenstand Woche 2 Weiße, lange, typische SLH-Stempel Aroma beginnt minimal (Zitronen-Note blitzt auf) Budsites gleichmäßig über das gesamte Netz verteilt Stretch geht langsam Richtung Ende Zweites Netz arbeitet perfekt als Stabilisator 🔍 Labor-Notiz der Woche „Die Pflanzen wachsen wie von einem Koffeinrausch getrieben. Die Blüten zeigen sich zuverlässig, die Vitalität ist hervorragend, und mein Wasserchiller hat vermutlich weniger Stress als ich.“ 🔮 Was kommt in Woche 3? Der große Defoliation-Run EC stabil weiterfahren Big Bud hochskalieren Lichtintensität leicht erhöhen Unterseite sauber halten Videos & Mikroskop-Shots für die Community Beginn des massiven Bud-Formings Die Bühne ist bereitet – jetzt wird es spannend. ------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome back to the HydroLab, where plants have officially accepted photosynthesis as their full-time occupation — and where the scientist (me) crawls around with zip ties, Big Bud, and a brand-new toy. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Status Report – The Ladies Are Entering Bloom for Real Flower Week 2 is almost done, and the lab confirms: Bud Blood has done its job beautifully. Tiny white explosions of pistils are popping up everywhere. I did a light defoliation earlier this week — but the SLH swallowed that effort instantly. Seriously, this strain grows back faster than a comment section on a hydroponics forum. 🌿 A Major Haircut Incoming By the end of next week, we begin what I call “Operation Full Cleanup”: Extreme lollipopping under the first net Heavy cleanup between the two nets Canopy thinning on top (anything that doesn’t get light → gone) Improve airflow Redirect all energy into bud production Think of it as a botanical beauty salon — just with more scissors and less small talk. ⚙️ System Parameters – Lab Values EC: steady at 1.5 pH: 5.8–6.0 Solution temperature: 19°C (chiller doing god’s work) Room temp: 25°C Humidity: 58–60% (great VPD for end-of-stretch) Nutrients: Bud Blood finished Big Bud started today Defoliation: light — main session coming up Under-canopy structure: wide open, strong, and well-ventilated Overall: Growth, color, stretch, and bud formation → absolutely on point. New Gadget in the Lab Yes… it happened: I bought myself a bud microscope. From now on: No trichome shall escape analysis. Expect extremely detailed updates in the coming weeks. 🌸 Visual Observation – Flower Formation Week 2 Long white SLH pistils everywhere First hints of lemon aroma Budsites evenly spread across the entire net Stretch slowing down Second net working perfectly as a support frame 🔍 Lab Note of the Week “The plants are growing like they’ve had three espressos. Buds are forming nicely, vigor is excellent, and my water chiller is probably under less stress than I am.” 🔮 Coming Up in Week 3 The big defoliation session Continue running EC 1.5 Scale up Big Bud Slightly increase light intensity Keep the lower zone clean Microscope shots + canopy videos Bud formation ramping up The stage is set — things are about to get exciting.

Dia 56 las plantas se ven muy sanas y bien, los rebrotes empiezan a desarrollarse ya terminamos con la poda de rebrotes interiores en las ramas, ahora queda esperar que empiece la fase de floración, yo creo que en la White Noise y en la 1051 empezará antes a florecer que la glowstarz ya que sus geneticas son indicas. Estan muy grandes y se ven muy bien seguimos trabajando 💪🏼💪🏼

23.03.22 - 24.03.22 Делаем раствор на 3 литра воды: MGB=9,93/1,98/11,91. ph=5.8, ppm=1020 25.03.22 - 26.03.22 Оторвал 2 нижние рыхлые ветки, к ним свет совсем не поступает. Перевесил в другое место вентиляторы на обдув растения. 27.03.22 - 28.03.22 Полив талой водой, 1,5 литра, pH=6,5 ppm=10 29.03.22 10 неделя завершена, шишки становятся всё больше, а запах всё сильнее! Но угольный фильтр справляется отлично. Цветём и пахнем=)

This is my first ever grow and thought I'd document and also seek advice. Neurodivergent grower here, seem to have gone overboard for a first timer. Running a drain to waste system through coco/perlite (70/30). Using 1.2 gallon pots from The Bucket Company. Hooked to a water bubbler irrigation feed from reservoir. The reservoir is a makeshift mobile chiller aha. Seemed a good a idea but could only hold 3-5 gallons at a time. Will need to either fork out on a water chiller with bigger reservoir upgrade or think or something. Under the reservoir we have the EZrun-off pump by The Bucket Company. Essentially a catch tray with a pump inside that automatically pumps the waste out to the desired location when maximum storage capacity is close. Mine runs just over to my kitchen sink.....when I can be bothered to make some holes underneath....I could hide the pipes and make it more stealthy via routing it to the drain pipe works under the sink cupboard. Old drippers where replaced mid veg stage with Netbow halo drippers by Netafim. Achieved a much more uniformed saturation of the medium. My nutrient of choice will be MegaCrop by Greenleaf nutrients plus additionals such as Orca mycorizhae and Myco Chum for the extras... Popped seeds directly to riot cubes on 14/06/24. 3 days later we have sprouts. Purple Stardawg x2 Runtz x2 Strawberry Cough x2

This plant has a solid stench of pure ripe lemons. So much aroma and color in every bud, purples, to dark green, to lime green, to solid frost. This one definitely a fun strain to watch grow and tend too for the last few months. She’s definitely a hungry girl, seemed to be the only strain out of the three that accepted and thrived with full feed nutrients. Would definitely recommend this Strain to someone For a nice uplifting day smoke, also seems to do me good for some pain and stress relief.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de floración de estas Barcelona Puff feminizadas de Seedstockers. Vamos al lío ,se trasplantaron en macetas de 7 litros definitivamente. El ph se controla en 6.0 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 25/21 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de floración puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 80% de potencia. De momento van creciendo a buen ritmo y tienen un buen color, la flor ya empezó a formarse y a tricomar, por el momento bien. Comentar de nuevo el estrés hídrico a sido superado de momento todo bien. Agradecer a Agrobeta por el envío del kit gold series para la temporada 🙏. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

🌱 Amnesia Skunk — Grow Update Week 6 From Seed · 12/12 From Seed (Early Flower / ~Week 2 Flowering Transition) Quick Recap (for new joiners) This run is 12/12 from seed, and we are now at Week 6 from seed, which places us roughly in early flower / second week of flowering transition, depending on how one prefers to count. No aggressive interventions, no forcing. This grow is based on observation, leaf positioning, and letting the plant express herself naturally. Amnesia Skunk has shown: • Strong vertical intent • Beautiful internodal spacing • A structure that responds extremely well to simple leaf bending She is clearly in flower mode now and transitioning smoothly. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update (and Why It Matters) • Day temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~65% Outside temperatures are still on the cooler side, but inside the room things have shifted naturally. As plant mass increased, lighting intensity was raised, and under-canopy lighting was introduced, the room itself became a stable heat source. This allowed us to raise temperatures without adding external heating or forcing conditions. This balance is important because it keeps plant metabolism active but relaxed, especially during early flower. VPD Perspective At ~28°C and ~65% RH, we are sitting in a comfortable early-flower VPD range, supporting: • Active transpiration • Nutrient mobility • Strong gas exchange Nothing extreme, nothing restrictive. ⸻ 💡 Lighting & Atmosphere (Why These Numbers Work) • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on plant size and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm The PPFD range allows: • Smaller or lower sites to stay productive • Taller tops to push without stress This avoids the classic mistake of lighting only for the tops and forgetting the rest of the plant. CO₂ at ~900 ppm is intentionally moderate, not excessive. At this stage, it supports: • Faster carbon assimilation • Better light-use efficiency • No need to overfeed to “match” the CO₂ Everything stays balanced. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow Strategy (This Is Not Random) • Vortex extraction • Cross-winds with multiple fans • Constant, gentle movement across the canopy The goal here is movement, not wind. Vortex extraction keeps fresh air cycling efficiently, while cross-winds prevent: • Microclimates • Stagnant humidity pockets • Weak stem development Leaves move gently, stems strengthen naturally, and flowers stay dry and comfortable as they form. Fresh air, no stress, no stagnation. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy (Why the Change Now) • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 This week marks a clear nutritional transition, guided by plant signals rather than calendar dates. Why pH 6.0+ from now on? As plants enter flower, nutrient uptake priorities shift: • Less focus on pure vegetative nitrogen pathways • More demand for elements tied to flower formation, enzyme activity, and energy transfer A slightly higher pH improves availability and balance of these elements in soil-based systems. The plant is clearly asking for it — posture, color, and growth rate all confirm this. ⸻ 🌱 Nutrient Change Explained • Removed: Terra Grow • Introduced: Terra Bloom — 5 ml/L Why remove Terra Grow now? Terra Grow is nitrogen-forward, designed to push vegetative mass. At this stage, excess veg-driven nitrogen can: • Delay flower focus • Encourage unnecessary leaf production • Blur the plant’s hormonal transition Why introduce Terra Bloom now? Terra Bloom supports: • Flower site development • Structural energy needs • Balanced nutrition without over-pushing foliage This is not a shock change. It’s a handover, and the plant is responding cleanly. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure, Leaf Work & Expression Amnesia Skunk continues to show excellent structure. • Leaf bending is the primary training method • No topping chaos, no forced stress • Just guiding light and space This method has: • Opened the canopy naturally • Preserved apical dominance while improving lateral exposure • Allowed the plant to stay confident and upright A few fan leaves were removed during photography — not as a defoliation event, but because they were funky, expressive, and worth documenting. Those leaves tell a story: • Healthy venation • Strong turgor • No deficiency signals • No toxicity They reflect a plant that is fed, lit, and aired correctly. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Expect: • Continued flower site stacking • Gradual stretch control through posture, not force • Increasing resin activity as flower identity locks in Do NOT expect: • Aggressive defoliation • Sudden stress techniques • Chasing numbers for the sake of charts This run stays calm. The plant leads, we follow. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words Thank you to: • Newcomers discovering this diary • Old souls following quietly • The curious, the critical, the supportive • Genetics, gear, sponsors • And the community as a whole It’s genuinely a privilege to share this space and this process. Amnesia Skunk is doing her thing — and she’s doing it beautifully.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Another week in the books, one maybe 2 more to go, if the weather holds and humidity doesn't go crazy. Since grow diaries doesn't support more than 32 weeks, it's a bit of a pain to track the rest of this grow. Still I will post updates.

Day8: First day of the new week. I assume still pretty much focusing on roots, as the top didn't really do much today. Day9: Nothing special. But she's growing Day10: Still roots, it seems. Very little happening up top. Day11: Effort being put into growing the top leaves. They increased in size. I assume that the next node will start tomorrow - kicking off the switch into Veg. Day12: Next node already showing :D Day13: I put in a humidifier and changed the cycle of the extractor to keep more moisture in the growbox. My humidity was way too low. Day14: This time the humidity was too high. It was sitting at around 95% when the lights went on.
