FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way — first week running without them) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 °C) → added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. That’s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 – FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel → added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 – Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring — no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. 🌿 Step 4 – FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) ≈ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone — looks alive and active. 🍋 Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. 📦 Step 6 – Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water → pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green — roughly 5.8 – 6.0 range. Nice clean look, stable smell, no residue. 💧 Current Base Ingredients (Active Mix) Warm Water ≈ 22 L total Calcinit 45 g → N + Ca foundation FERMAKOR PK Base 30 ml → P + K support Citric Acid 1 tsp → Chelation + pH balance FPJ / Fish Emulsion 30 ml → Organic enzyme booster Result: clean amber mix, mild and balanced. I’ll let this version run for a week before adding anything. 👀👀👀👀👀👀 Observations and changes 👀👀👀👀👀👀 27.10.25 VW27 noticed some min burnt tips so I decreased Calcium Nitrate 45 to → 40g, decided to add two more elements micros and Epsom salts just to make sure they got everything, Fetrilon Combi 1 (Micros): 0.5 g, Epsom salts: 8 g 28.10.25 VW27 she seems devoid of any deficiencies, seems ready for the flip to 12/12 02.11.25 VW27 girl is looking good so I decided to stop making daily videos and do a standard once a week update. 09.11.25 aVW28 7 days since flip,stretch in full swing, first pistils showing, leaf color deep and healthy. Slight tip burn early week → gone after pH stabilized. Feed stayed clear, no residue, roots clean and sweet-smelling, did what I hope is a last cleanup and pruning🎥 10.11.25 VW29 added Phosphoric acid pH down to the schedule for flowering stage. 14.11.25 FW1 FERMAKOR PK Micros 40 → 50 ml 23.11.25 FW2 got some burnt tips, observe and act accordingly in case it worsens, diluted by 25% for this week. 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 🌿Day to day tasks & actions 🌿 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 23.11.25 FW1 – Fed 3l of #1 → 1l runoff 24.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 25.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 26.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 27.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 28.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 29.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 30.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 Nutrients in 30 L #1 Veg — FERMAKOR 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 Calcium Nitrate (Calcinit / Nitcal): 45 g → 40 g → 35 g = 1.33 g/L → 207 ppm N + 253 ppm Ca = 1.17 g/L → 183 ppm N + 224 ppm Ca (current) 💧 PK Concentrate (FERMAKOR Base): 30 ml → 40 ml → 50 ml = 1.00 → 1.33 → 1.66 ml/L → balanced 1:1 P:K + light micros (from extract) 💧 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (Fish + Veg): 30 ml = 1.00 ml/L Epsom Salt (MgSO₄·7H₂O): 8 g = 0.27 g/L → 26 ppm Mg + 35 ppm S 💧 Fetrilon Combi 1 (Micros): 0.5 g = 0.017 g/L → Fe 0.7 ppm • Mn 0.7 ppm • Zn 0.3 ppm • Cu 0.3 ppm • B 0.1 ppm • Mo 0.02 ppm Phosphoric Acid (pH down) + Citric Acid (chelation): → First set pH with phosphoric acid → Add a little citric only if extra chelation is needed 💧 Target pH: 5.8 – 6.0 (drop test yellow-green) 📦 TOTAL Inputs: 60 ml → 70 ml → 80 ml / 48.5 g per 30 L = 2.00 → 2.33 → 2.66 ml/L + 1.62 g/L (current) YouTube Link: https://youtube.com/-m8h?si=A7x4Zlr2kj-_ga31

** HARVEST DAY FOR PHENO2: 09-27-2022 ** Pictures are from weeks 11~17. Flowering was a breeze, the girls were pretty much on cruise control, I only had to water and feed them every week or so. Notes of spicy orange, really pungent smell. Both are very similar in that regard, one being more spicy and the other more fruity.

Pflanzen sehen ok aus Eine zeigt leichte Wachstumsstörung bzw. defizite, die anderen wachsen recht gut Gab in den ersten Tagen ein Bewässerungsproblem mit überwässerung deshalb musste die Erde für ein paar tage erst wieder trocknen bis ich erneut gießen konnte.

I thought the ladies would have another 2-3 weeks left in veg, but started to notice pistils forming within the last couple of days. So flower will most likely start to begin within the next week, I’m guessing I may see a couple oz per plant come harvest day. Not bad for first time grow & using autos, from what I’ve heard a lot of people do not recommend learning with autos due to how quickly their state can change depending on what you do with them. There are some things I wish now I would have done a bit different within the last couple of weeks, I can’t help but wonder how much bigger they’d be if I did not do any defoliation at all. But I have been combating flies bad and made the call to defoliate mainly for that reason. Started to cut back on veg foods and introduce flower foods and sugars to their diet. Humidity levels still at a steady decrease, aiming to have humidity down in the 30s come flower time. Will be going on vacation for a week soon, so fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong. Will be having a good friend of mine come by every couple of days to FaceTime me and make sure everything is handled as well as possible when the time comes.

Hi guys! For this run i got some nice looking clones. Really looking forward for this one. 11x Gelato Sorbet (Dna Genetics) left side in the box 13x Cookies&Cream (Exotic Genetics) middle of the box 8x French Macarron (T.H. Seeds) right side of the box My setup got a nice update with the Sanlight Evo 5 100 with 320w. Aim to upgrade all of my S1 Q6w soon. All together with 985watt now. I use Biobizz-Lightmix and started to add Nutrients at week 3 after i planted it in the 8l pots. For this run ill use Hesi Nutrients because i use them for years and worked most of the time pretty well for me. I fimmed some plants and trained most of them with LST-Training. I will send them into flower in the middle of week 5 ---‐------------------------- Week 4: Plants are looking ok. I wanted a higher humidity and tried to increase it with a humidifier. Week 5: The fimming worked quite well on the plants i used it on and i got a nice increase in height and strength Aiming to send them into flower in the next few days. :) Week 6: Day 3 of Flowering plants look nice and healthy. Some gelato sorbets had issues from stress but they catched up ok. Week 7: End of week 2 of flowering plants look ok most of them. After i saw some nice results at tents from friends and had some own nice experience with the terpinator i start giving "purpinator" this run a go and start mixing it into my feeding schedule every watering Hope u like the diarie and follow with this run!

Если бы я не сидел пустым, я бы даже был бы рад такому неспешному развитию событий - растишка нехотя зацветает, но при этом уже прилично вымахала (≈86см), и это без центральной колы!😋 Всё хорошо, продолжаем полёт. Из-за ремонта на теплотрассе у нас до сих пор не включили центральное отопление🌡️, поэтому приходится мириться с излишней влажностью💧, спасает кондиционер. 👉планирую добавить еще один досвет😎 - диоды deep red специально для цветения, на отдельной планке, оставайтесь на связи👈 Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

pH was still leaning towards the low side earlier in the week, but by Saturday's watering, pH is within desired range. Indoor AC unit is broken this week (will be replaced by next week) - but have been improvising to perform temperature control inside the tent as much as possible. Daytime light is currently set for overnight, as to mitigate overheating during summer months. During this week while we are improvising, the focus is on keeping the tent temperature as close to 80 degrees F (ideally below, but with outdoor air temps being around 100 daily, this is difficult this week). Using ice buckets and multiple oscillating fans to control the temperature as much as possible. Plants are under some stress from this, but leaves are not wilting and are only slightly discolored on some of the tips, which has improved with Saturday's heavy nutrient feed. Will update next week once AC unit is back and tent conditions are more under control, but thankfully plants seem to be making it through, and should bounce back quickly once conditions are back to normal. Nutrient type was switched to Fox Farm Big Bloom; a heavy feeding was performed on Saturday as the plants were a bit nutrient deficient, but will return to maintenance feedings on next feeding. Tuesday's Watering: Plant 2 - 1.25 gallons of water (pH: 5.41) - 0.5 tsp/gal of Bergman's Plant Booster Plant 3 - 1.25 gallons of water (pH: 5.56) - 0.5 tsp/gal of Bergman's Plant Booster Plant 4 - 1.25 gallons of water (pH: 5.91) - 0.5 tsp/gal of Bergman's Plant Booster Saturday's Watering: Plant 2 - 1.5 gallons of water (pH: 6.43) - 1/2 cup/gallon of Fox Farm Big Bloom (heavy feeding) - Height: 28.74 in Plant 3 - 1.5 gallons of water (pH: 6.27) - 1/2 cup/gallon of Fox Farm Big Bloom (heavy feeding) - Height: 23.23 in Plant 4 - 1.5 gallons of water (pH: 6.54) - 1/2 cup/gallon of Fox Farm Big Bloom (heavy feeding) - Height: 27.56 in ***General Hydroponics pH UP solution added. Will hold on next feed to re-assess where pH levels sit, now that they are within desired range.

## Week 7 Update: Strong Vegetative Growth 🌿💚 ### 🌱 Vigorous Growth Continues 🌱 Welcome to Week 7! All of the plants—Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin—are still in the vegetative stage, and they’re thriving. This extra time in veg is allowing each plant to develop a strong structure, which will be crucial for supporting heavy buds when we eventually switch to flowering. --- ### 🚀 Vegetative Progress 🚀 **Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞** - Growing rapidly, with significant height and branch development. - The plant is responding well to LST, creating a wider canopy for better light distribution. **Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿** - Compact and bushy, with strong lateral growth. - Perfecting its structure to maximize yield in the flowering phase. **Blueberry Muffin 🥞** - Building a dense, sturdy frame with lush foliage. - This extra veg time is helping it develop a robust canopy, setting it up for a productive flowering stage. --- ### 🌱 Vegetative Techniques 🌱 To make the most of this vegetative period, I've been focusing on: - **Low-Stress Training (LST):** Continually training branches to create an even canopy and promote multiple bud sites. - **Topping:** Topping has been applied to encourage bushier growth and increase potential yield. - **Defoliation:** Selective defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration, ensuring the lower branches get enough light. - **Nutrient Management:** Maintaining a balanced nutrient schedule focused on nitrogen to support healthy vegetative growth. --- ### 🌿 Looking Ahead 🌿 The plants are growing strong, and this extended vegetative stage is giving them the best possible start before we transition to flowering. In the coming weeks, we'll continue to monitor their growth and make any necessary adjustments before initiating the flowering phase. Stay tuned for next week's update as the plants continue to prepare for a successful bloom! Happy growing! 🌿💚

Hey Guys! We are back at it again and wow thing's starting to pick up. I must be lucky with this bean's i guess, everything runs smooth and all the 4 girls just living a good life right now. Dinafem Diesel: flowers well under high RH. I have high expectations from this pheno, fingers crossed it packs a good punch and flavor. Overall really fun to grow. Seedsman c99 x Blueberry (fast): Preform really well in humid conditions both veg and flower (like most Thai i've grown). The smell is there from the start due to the terps in the juice is really strong smelling of "rotten dank meat" both in veg and in flower, but the trichomes on the flower smells like sour fruity candy right now in week 4 and it's really pleasant to keep smelling. Must say it's kinda addicting. Cali Connection Girl scout cookies: The size of this plant is quite good for indoor, as it didn't stretch much in flower. A faint smell of mint and cookies from the flower not too strong yet. I will try grow out this pheno under better conditions more suited for "Kushy strains". Greenhouse seeds Super lemon haze: Ok i need to say this first. Scrog or topping or even mainlaning is a must to grow this one. It grows big and have massive branch production and cannot support its own weight 9 seeds out of 10 (or maybe only me, idk). it preforms well under slightly higher RH then normal but i would not go over 50 % week 4. I started to feed Booster and Calcium just to get the plants to fatten up a bit. i will dry out the pot then start the Blumat system after a few day's in hope that plants will drink and explode in flower production. I might edit in new pics of a random plant over the week. Lets call them Bonus Pic's just to keep thing's fresh. Don't forget to leave a Like😄 Until next time Cheers!

Hello boys and girls we’ve officially reached the finish line! 🕺🏾🎊🍾 It’s been an amazing experience growing this strain. This week we wrapped things up and flushed using Flawless Finish. Tropicana’s colors showed out with some buds going purple, her profile is a real nose-pleaser and I’m pretty happy with how my trichomes are looking (all turned milky with very few ambers) She was thoroughly set free from the salts, and after her final watering 4 days ago I just let her ride it out. Right after these photos, she’ll be chopped and set to dry! I’ll be back with updates once she’s dried and I begin the curing process. 🤝🏾 It’s been a pleasure growing this beauty alongside all of you thank you for the encouragements. Mama Tropicana sends her love too 😊 I’ve got other strains running in the garden from Fastbuds and more, so feel free to follow along. A great harvest season is upon us 🙌🏾😋 Happy growing and happy weekend, gang! 💚

420Fastbuds-FBA2506 I'm excited as it's tester time. Germination week is complete. I planted 3 seeds and had all 3 sprout within 48hrs of being in the soil. I do soak them for 48hrs in a glass of water before planting. I can't wait to see what the weeks to come will have in store. Happy Growing

Such pretty and easy plant to grow, just top dressed with handful of worm castings and less than half handful of bat guano few days ago and she just is exploding with white pistols all over and trichomes also, she smells like sweet lavender with skunk. Very pleased with Zambeza Critical++, anyone could grow her! I cropped one of my Critical the other was LST I can see bigger buds on the cropped one, but it is not obvious so far which one is producing more weights. Just changed Hps 400w to Voost 240w, plants responded well, some older fan leaves were started to cook and burn under hps, way too hot mid day, I can tell some leaves needed a break... Let's see if LEDS helps with heat/light stress... They are at 60cm from canopy, I will bring them down little by little during the next few days... That is it, thank you for following fellow Cannabis lovers!

12/04 - Gonna do a flush. I think I let the plants sit in the runoff too long after watering last time. Have a little yellowing on some of the leaves. 12/05 - Decided not to flush. I pH the soil at 5.8. Gonna raise it a bit and I cut out the veg nutes and cut the flowering nutes in half. Used some Germ Genie which is essentially kelp to see if the issue was just nute burn or potassium. pH the water to 6.8. 12/06 - Looking healthy today. Fan Leaves are really stretching for the light. 12/07 - Plants are starting to bud up and fill in those pistils. 12/08 - Watered the girls with just Bloom. 12/09 - Out of Town 12/10 -Looking Frosty!

8/17 Watered everything but the 50. Found two leaves with sep markings on the pink kish in the 50. Definitely not using old soil again. I'm pretty sure THIS plant contracted it from the soil and not the way the others did with the lawn mower and birdseed hijinx. It's supposed to rain for the first time basically all summer. It's am 80% chance so I HELD OFF ON PLANT DOCTOR AND DID NOT APPLY as I'm supposed to have a clear day after. I'll apply the plant doctor in the morning. I'm hoping this rain will knock down a bunch of those thrips. They seem to be on a small branch on a plant or two. One or two leaves show damage and I'll pick them off. I figure I'll get them after I apply plant doctor. I'll use either citric acid or just my regular bt-k pillar treatment with Castille or liquid soap. That will kill them as well. I'm on really worried about it. I also might just buy a bunch of lady bugs and unleash them once things get further along. EDIT: TOOK A QUICK VIDEO AND A COUPLE PICS. HOPEFULLY WE GET THIS RAIN. IF NOT IM GOING TO TREAT THE THRIPS THAT ARE ON TWO PLANTS NOW. I THINK IM GOING TO GO WITH BT-K FOR NY PILLARS AND HOPE THAT THE DISH SOAP IN THE MIX KILLS THE THRIPS. I HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS SO ILL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. BUDS SEEM TO BE EXPLODING IN GROWTH. OH AND THANKS TO THE OUTDOOR GROWER THAT MESSAGED OFFERING TO HELP. I APPRECIATE THAT. THANKS. 8/18 We got the rain we were expecting. It was sheet rain for a few hourscand rained during the night. Everything was drenched and it was cold (50°F). I shook off the special kush that's way further in flower. I decided to use the leafblowrr despite the risk of spreading anything. I did it so that it wasn't ever blowing TOWARDS another plant but still. I was hoping it might blast off some thrips that might have survived that torrential rain. We've never had a dry summer like this. I'll moniter things. My water day is tomorrow so I assume that's when the girls will get their plant doctor dose. It's a great time of year for cannabis growers. We get to watch all the hard work we've put in literally pay off. It's very peaceful in the garden. EDIT: Went over at about one to check things out and do some minor defoliation. I checked on the thrip situation and I dont know if I blasted them off with the leafblower or if the rain washed them away bit I doubt it. Ivecmade the decision to treat these little bastards. It's on one plant but it's started to spread to another branch on another plant. I probably just overlooked it but still. Seeing that it rained like he'll and I'm seeing like zero signs of septoria I'm going to treat everything. At least I think I am. I haven't decided what to use. I think I could just use bt and soap and I'd probably be alright. I'd feel better doing that as it's something I'm familiar with. Outdoor growing. It's always something.

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. And hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. This is my second feminised cultivation ever. First, I'm just going to say something about my grow room. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps for bloom. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. Medical Mass is a new medical cannabis strain with a high CBD content and a low THC level that provides good medical properties without a strong psychoactive effect. This is a mostly indica plant that contains 40% sativa and 60% indica. Critical Mass and CBD rich strain were crossed to create this amazing valuable variety. The plant suits both for indoors and outdoors, for beginner and experienced growers. The strain grows up to 60 - 100 cm tall and produces good yields for such height of about 500 - 550 gr/m2. The plant demonstrates great results even in small spaces. The flowering time takes only 7-8 weeks and the harvest comes in late September. The smoke brings very strong, intense flavors with sweet notes of honey and skunk and an intense pleasant relaxation. Medical Mass is the great choice for each medical user due its small height, ease of growing, fast flowering and of course great medical potency. 2017-09-01. Started germinating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-03. 3 out of 3 seeds germinated today after 40 h, i planted them in soil and put them in my humidity dome under T5 lights.
