Harvest 33 Days After Flower Switch ( Flower Week 4-5 ) -Loading-

4. Woche hat begonnen

okay, I was a bit confused with the dates uploading the diary, put these pics and video in week 4 of flower yesterday... last pictures and video are at day 33F they got dense bud compactor this week except the grinspoon... dense you have to use once in the last 3 weeks of flower each, minus the flush. so week 5-6-7 of flower. grin will get it at 11-12-13....:D:D

Week 7 of flower in the books and we’ve had to adjust to the height issues in an attempt to salvage what we can of the largest mains on the cheese. Really should’ve done this 2 weeks ago and while it’d be preferable not to supercrop this late in flower - there really wasn’t a choice. It was done early in the week and the plant is none the worse for wear. On the whole, the nute burn issue has been rectified and while the damage isn’t massive, it’s still really obvious. For all the above reasons, We’re really not going to get that late flower look with this plant. Kinda sad there. Otherwise, the plants have begun to colour up and were quickly coming in to the harvest window. At this rate it looks like the gorilla cookies and cherry Bomb will go off first, with the cheese to follow and the lemon haze last. The GC is absolutely covered in trichs. We expect a great finish for this one. She’s unlike any pheno I’ve seen on here - ducksfooted with a pineapple shape to her heads but again, got it where it counts. The cherry Bomb is similar but also true to her description - huge cherry diesel scent coming off this plant. She’s chunky and sticky too so very pleased she’s made something of herself. The lemon haze is developing And rounding out slower. Trich production is moderate and I suspect she’s got a week longer than the rest. We’re getting there - maybe a week to 10 days. Almost time for jazz hands👍😎. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

the autos are extremely close to harvest and the vegging plants look great. Getting very bushy in the back and the moms will need defoliation soon. The raspberry diesel that I suspected was a male has been successfully converted into an outside plant and looks happier than ever.

waterd 1000ml today. Sticky beast stretching well.VpD~1 (Day36) Prepared water today. Budsided's getting bigger and Sticky beast still growing 😊 She will be a real beast hopefully🦍😮‍💨VpD~1,1kp (Day 37) Watered NL 2000ml, SB 1500ml adjusted LST ON SB#2. Northern Lights are so frosty (Day38) Sticky Beast now in pre flower. (Day 39) Watered northern Lights 2liters Sticky Beast 1.5l both 1ml/L bloom/topmax tommoror is haircut day✂️💇‍♀️( Day 40) Today I planted a few companion plant seeds and put them in the tent. (chamomile, basil, lavender, dill) Soil still slightly moist! (Day 41) Today i lollipopped my sticky beasts and my second NorthernLight. 3 h later the remaining budsides grew Crazy🌺

1-11 At the end of the day i chopped her down, did a small wet trim removing some big leaves, and hang the buds to dry. 2-11 Temps: 19.3 to 20.5 degrees Humidity: 55% to 64% 3-11 Temps: 17.1 to 20.4 degrees Humidity: 54% to 66% 4-11 Temps: 18.1 to 19.6 degrees Humidity: 62% to 66% 5-11 Temps: 17.9 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 56% to 64% 6-11 Temps: 17.6 to 19.4 degrees Humidity: 59% to 67% 7-11 Temps: 17.8 to 19.2 degrees Humidity: 60% to 66% 8-11 Temps: 17.4 to 19.9 degrees Humidity: 58% to 67% 9-11 Temps: 17.8 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 62% to 64% 10-11 Temps: 18.2 to 20.5 degrees Humidity: 62% to 65% 11-11 Temps: 18.7 to 20.4 degrees Humidity: 57% to 65% 12-11 Temps: 18 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 54% to 66% 13-11 Temps: 17.8 to 20.2 degrees Humidity: 61% to 67% Started trimming today. 14-11 Finished trimming. I was afraid of finding a lot of budrot, luckily it was only the one cola. The buds are very frosty, the bottom at the base of the branch looks a bit brownish on some buds, i inspected it with a microscope and didnt find any mold or weird things. There are a lot of amber trichomes tho. I think that's why it looks brown like that. It smells and smokes good, so i think its fine. If someone thinks otherwise, let me know! End results: Buds: 92 Grams Small Buds: 18 Grams Trim: 16.7 Grams Total weight of the buds: 110 Grams. I calculated that i used a total of 72.3 watts this grow, that makes it 1.52 grams per watt! Very happy with the end results, and its by far my personal record hahaha.

Tag 108 | Blütetag 64 Rocko's Terp Test featuring: Apokalypse Grow ☀️🔥 Das Wetter bleibt momentan der Chef. Um den sommerlichen Temperaturen entgegenzuwirken, wurde der komplette Lichtzyklus in dieser Woche auf die Nachtstunden von 20:00 bis 08:00 Uhr verlegt. Zusätzlich laufen die beiden XS1500 Pro nur noch mit 40 % Leistung. Ich habe sogar kurz überlegt, den Zyklus auf 21:00 bis 09:00 Uhr zu verschieben, um die größte Nachmittagshitze noch weiter zu umgehen. Vorerst bleibt es aber bei 20:00 bis 08:00 Uhr. In dieser Phase geht es nicht mehr darum, den letzten Ertrag herauszupressen, sondern die Pflanzen möglichst schonend ins Ziel zu bringen. Das Ziel bleibt klar: Fruchtbombe statt Hitzebombe. Das gesamte System läuft aktuell eher in einer warmen Suppe zwischen 26 und 31 °C, statt wie noch vor einigen Wochen zwischen kühl und heiß zu pendeln. Die Klimadaten lesen sich zunächst kritischer, als die Pflanzen tatsächlich aussehen. Trotz der schwülen Wetterlage zeigen die aktuellen Bilder ein erstaunlich stabiles Bild. Die Pflanzen zehren inzwischen sichtbar aus ihren Blattreserven, ohne dass die Blüten selbst deutliche Anzeichen von Hitzestress zeigen. Angesichts der sommerlichen Temperaturen unter dem Dach sind rund 30 bis 31 °C während der Lichtphase derzeit ein durchaus akzeptabler Kompromiss. Chicken & Waffles liefert in dieser Woche den wohl spektakulärsten Anblick. Die Zuckerblätter präsentieren sich inzwischen in tiefen Violetttönen bis hin zu nahezu Schwarz und zeigen stellenweise bordeauxfarbene Nuancen, die sich auf Fotos nur schwer einfangen lassen. Zusammen mit der massiven Harzschicht wirkt die Pflanze beinahe eingefroren. Die Spitze erinnert an mehrere kleine Zwiebelkirchtürme. Mit ihren organischen, leicht verdrehten Formen wirkt sie fast wie ein Bauwerk, das einem Hundertwasser-Entwurf entsprungen sein könnte. So eine Optik hatte ich bisher noch in keinem Grow. Fruit Bomb Punch zeigt in dieser Woche eindrucksvoll, welchen Einfluss das Training auf ihren Wuchs hatte. Durch das wiederholte Herunterclipsen während des Stretchs konnte sich keine klassische Hauptcola entwickeln. Stattdessen bildet die Topblüte aus der Draufsicht einen regelrechten Fünfender mit nahezu gleich hohen Spitzen. Von der Seite wirkt derselbe Bereich dagegen wie ein schlanker Turm aus übereinander gestapelten Blütensegmenten. Die übrigen, weniger beeinflussten Seitentriebe zeigen dagegen die sortentypische Blütenstruktur und machen den Einfluss des Trainings besonders deutlich. Strawberry AK bleibt ihrer Linie treu. Die klassische Kerzenform mit ihrer markanten Hauptcola ist bis heute erhalten geblieben. Gleichzeitig zeigt sie den deutlichsten Herbst-Fade und verwertet konsequent die letzten Reserven aus ihren Fächerblättern. Auch bei den Trichomen zeigen sich inzwischen Unterschiede. Chicken & Waffles liegt aktuell leicht vorn, Strawberry AK folgt überraschend dicht dahinter. Fruit Bomb Punch beginnt dagegen gerade erst sichtbar einzutrüben. Ob sie in der kommenden Woche aufschließen kann, werden die nächsten Makroaufnahmen zeigen. Am Ende entscheidet das Glas. 🍯🌱

A sweet little baby plant.

I mean this genetics it's excellent ... if I would grow zombie kush again ... good job ripper seed ... she fought and was very strong against the plagues after a beginning outdoors ... she fought against the white fly. worms .. red spider and other insects ... and deserves your recognition ... it will not be the most beautiful plant with its leaves impeccable ... but she is a champion ... thank you ripper seed .. .

5/11 Topping these girls! Let's get growing....... 5/15 Topped and new growth is loving life!

Aug 1: looking really good with lots of stretch and lots of bud sites. Added another scrog net layer and clipped it to the next lower scrog net which is tied off with 500 g weights to gently hold things in place. These nets are great because it makes the whole plant more robust and they can focus on flowering rather than coping with winds that keep banging them around. Had the hail net on the plants for a hour this evening. Hard brief rain but no hail this time.

Day 30: Let grow, no water no feed. Thick stalks, RapidStart doing an amazing job on those roots. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 53º PPFD: 700 VPD: .67 kPa Day 31: Cosmo is looking really good.

420 Fastbuds Week 1 Gorilla Cookies Auto These girls are growing amazing. For the first week of veg they look great. Drip system is working good keeping the soil moist. Looking forward to the weeks to come. All in all Happy Growing

So langsam werden die Trichome immer reifer. Alles riecht wunderbar im Garten. Bei einer pflanze mußte ich einen Bud entfernen, da sich dazwischen ein bisschen Schimmel gebildet hatte.

Week 6 on flush now sticky wasbi as been growing good got a bit of nut burn but they are on flush now and the smell is stronge and nuggets feel dence and soild @growerchoice @SHOGUN dragon force 4ml/l for 1 week then pure water for 1 week

Die 2 Nachzügler haben auch endlich ihren Endtopf bekommen 😊

She is going to be amazing when full sized. I had my quarrels with the lady but it's been rewarding waiting with patients. That is like we should do with all lady's. ;)
