These ladies are really starting to stretch. Especially the Red Hot Cookies, holy cow they are getting big quick. Starting to see preflowers on all of the ladies. I will update throughout the week. 😀

Day 30: Girls are stretching and starting flower😇 pots are getting dry quick so maybe ill have to up water to 1.2l once a day or even out through out the day🤔 Day 31: Gave about 1.3L feeding to all girls! made sure to hydrate coco all the way and gave some water to watertray so they can suck it up if they are still hungry! i cheked ppm on my water but didnt check runoff yet. ppm was 900 with 0.5 convert. ph around 6. will add pics later or tmrw😎 Day 32: gave girls little lighter feeding, around 3ml/L GH nutes b clmag. I was too lazy to take proper pics with better light so took a vid instead😁 Day 33: i was thinking of pinning the tallest cola to scrog but decided against it. Mainly because these girls are doing very well, and my only consern is light burn. I cant get my light as high as i want to, cos my tent is only 180cm and got filter above my light. I think ill need yo setup next grow so my filter is outside of the tent🤔 thx for all commentors on my growquestion/diary! Made my day to hear my babies are doing well without any bigger problems😁💚 Edit: did some LST on bigger colas to avoid lightburn since these girls are strecthing almost 5cm a day😁 hopefully they will keep the same energy on developing buds😉 I checked ppm and pH from runoff; #1 ppm 750 ph 6.6 #2 ppm 750 ph 6.5 #3 ph 6.4 ppm 750 (all ppm converts were made on 0.5 rate) Gonna give low ph watering next day Day 34: Good morning growers😎 this morning i gave my girls quite an heavy feed, 6ml calmag, micro, bloom and 3 ml gro into 5 or so litres. pH around 5.7 and ppm 1100 with 0.5. Pics are coming later afternoon with some runoff numbers😎 stay lifted💚

•Frostbanger is getting strong, starting to gain a scent 💨💨 •Random grows daily, but doesn’t have much of a scent

Cambiamos de fotoperiodo y las plantas rápido han pegado el cambio y ya sacan los primeros pelitos

Now this baby was a delight to grow and grew real big. I decided to leave this lady to do her own thing and she ended up finishing just short of 6ft! The main cola was huge and juicy and all round the end result was really nice and super strong just the way it should be.

I lollipopping this and add a ladybug and phitoseious persimillis for kill spider mite

Hello everybody! :) The 4th week of growth. I continue to train the growth, try bending it every day. I water the plant every day: 1 day fertilization / 1 day water. Fertilizers from the RQS COMBO package works perfectly. I add additional root stimulator from GHE and Diamond nectar. I will give one more week to VEG growth, then I will down to12 hours of light to provoke flowering. Also next week a grid will be installed to adequately control the tent area. In the photo you can see the result of FIM cropping. now the baby will have 4 heads instead of 1. I removed all the large leaves for better air circulation and for better light penetration. Please see also this week's short video. Merry Christmas!!!

This week I have seen plenty of Budgrowth! Everything is filling out nicely.. i’m very excited for the following weeks

🌿 Woche 23 – Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Diese Woche stand ganz im Zeichen einer ziemlich radikalen Entscheidung ✂️🌿. Letzten Samstag habe ich beide Pflanzen stark entlaubt und ungefähr die Hälfte der Triebe entfernt. Alle unteren Buds mussten weichen – übrig bleiben nur die Top Buds mit der besten Lichtexposition ☀️🌸. Mein Ziel ist dabei ganz klar: Qualität vor Quantität 💚. Ich möchte die Luftzirkulation verbessern, das Schimmelrisiko im kommenden Herbst reduzieren und gleichzeitig die Geruchsentwicklung aus Rücksicht auf meine Nachbarn möglichst gering halten 🌬️🏡. Bei einem möglichen Erntezeitpunkt Ende Oktober oder Anfang November möchte ich einfach nicht riskieren, am Ende einen Großteil der Buds wegen Schimmel wegwerfen zu müssen 🍂🌧️. Natürlich tut es im Herzen weh, aus solchen majestätischen Pflanzen so viel Biomasse herauszunehmen 😢🌿. Aber am Ende interessiert mich nur das Ergebnis. Lieber weniger, dafür hochwertige und gesunde Buds, als eine riesige Menge, von der später ein großer Teil im Müll landet 🙏🌸. Die linke Pflanze ist mittlerweile ca. 2,18 m, die rechte sogar 2,33 m groß 📏🚀. Durch das starke Auslichten hat sich der Wasserverbrauch erwartungsgemäß ungefähr halbiert 💧. Die linke Pflanze sieht momentan allerdings noch etwas unglücklich aus 😕🌿. Dazu kommt, dass die Sonnenerde langsam deutlich an ihre Grenzen kommt und ich rückblickend wahrscheinlich noch stärker hätte topdressen müssen. Die letzten vier Tage war ich wieder beruflich unterwegs und meine Frau hat das Gießen übernommen 💧❤️. Leider wurde offenbar die gleiche Wassermenge deutlich schneller ausgebracht, wodurch jedes Mal Drain entstanden ist. Ich vermute, dass dadurch teilweise auch Nährstoffe ausgespült wurden und sich das bestehende Defizit dadurch weiter verstärkt hat 🌱💦. Ich versuche jetzt gegenzusteuern. Am Freitag gab es einmal BioBizz Grow, TopMax, Bloom und Heaven nach All-Mix-Schema auf 5 Liter Wasser 🌿. Heute folgt zusätzlich noch Almicanna Flower Komposttee 🍵. Danach heißt es erst einmal beobachten und schauen, ob sich vor allem die linke Pflanze wieder erholt 👀🌱. Die rechte Pflanze steht momentan deutlich besser da und wirkt insgesamt kräftiger 💚. Auch beim Reiben am Stamm ist ihr Geruch mittlerweile deutlich intensiver 👃🌿. Interessanterweise ist dafür die linke Pflanze in der Budentwicklung weiter 🌸. Die beiden Phenos zeigen damit immer deutlicher ihre unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften – und genau das macht den Vergleich so spannend 😍. Jetzt heißt es Daumen drücken und beobachten 🤞🌱. Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie sich die beiden nach diesem massiven Eingriff in den nächsten Wochen entwickeln werden 🍂🌸. 🌿 Week 23 – Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 This week was all about a rather radical decision ✂️🌿. Last Saturday I heavily defoliated both plants and removed roughly half of the branches. All lower buds were removed as well – I’m keeping only the top buds with the best light exposure ☀️🌸. My goal is very clear: quality over quantity 💚. I want to improve airflow, reduce the risk of mold during the upcoming autumn, and at the same time minimize the amount of smell for the sake of my neighbors 🌬️🏡. With harvest potentially coming in late October or early November, I simply don’t want to risk losing a large part of the crop to mold 🍂🌧️. It honestly hurts a little to remove so much biomass from such majestic plants 😢🌿. But ultimately, I’m only interested in the final result. I’d rather have fewer high-quality, healthy buds than an enormous amount that ends up in the trash because of mold 🙏🌸. The left plant is now approximately 2.18 m, while the right one has reached an incredible 2.33 m 📏🚀. As expected, the heavy defoliation has roughly halved their water consumption 💧. The left plant doesn’t look particularly happy at the moment, though 😕🌿. On top of that, the Sonnenerde is clearly starting to run out of nutrients, and looking back, I probably should have used a heavier top dress. I was away on a work trip for the last four days and my wife took care of the watering 💧❤️. Unfortunately, it seems the same amount of water was applied much faster, resulting in drainage every time. I suspect this may have washed out some nutrients and contributed to the further development of the nutrient deficiency 🌱💦. I’m now trying to correct the situation. On Friday I gave them BioBizz Grow, TopMax, Bloom and Heaven according to the All-Mix schedule in 5 liters of water 🌿. Today they’ll receive another dose of Almicanna Flower Compost Tea 🍵. After that, it’s time to observe and see whether the left plant starts recovering 👀🌱. The right plant is looking significantly better at the moment and appears much stronger overall 💚. The smell is also noticeably more intense when rubbing the stem of this plant 👃🌿. Interestingly, however, the left plant is further ahead in bud development 🌸. The two phenotypes are clearly showing increasingly different characteristics – and that’s what makes this comparison so interesting 😍. Now it’s time to keep my fingers crossed and watch closely 🤞🌱. I’m very curious to see how these two plants respond to such a major intervention over the next few weeks 🍂🌸.

Chugging through flowering. On she goes!

Topping a sprig on the third plant 😊

20.11 : F+5 1L of fertilizer 22.11 : Ras 23.11 : watering 24.11 : RAS no watering 26.11 : 0.75L no more insect after futher more inspection, the humidifier and waterspray did work :)

Week 4: Growth Spurts and New Challenges Continued Growth and Health As we move into the fourth week, the plants are showing impressive growth. Their leaves are a lush, vibrant green, and the stems are becoming stronger. The transition to the larger 11-liter fabric pots has clearly paid off, providing the roots with ample space and better aeration. Adjusting Nutrient Levels Given their positive response to the nutrients, I decided to continue with 2/3 of Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding schedule, adjusting slightly to meet their increasing demands. Here's the updated feeding plan for this week: CalMag: 2.5 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.50 mS/cm) Grow: 1.5 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 0.5 ml/l EC: 1.2 mS/cm (600 ppm PPM-500/TDS) pH: 6.0 Each plant is watered with approximately 20% runoff to ensure there's no nutrient buildup in the coco mix. I will maintain this nutrient level until the pre-flowering stage to avoid the risk of nutrient burn due to over-fertilization. Weather Improvements and Adjustments The weather has been steadily improving, with temperatures expected to rise to around 25°C starting Wednesday, accompanied by abundant sunshine. This upcoming forecast is excellent news for my plants, as I anticipate a final growth spurt before flowering begins. Every centimeter of growth counts at this stage, and I'm optimistic about maximizing their potential under these favorable conditions. Strengthening with Wind Exposure On days with good weather, I move the plants out of the greenhouse to expose them to natural wind. This practice helps strengthen their stems, improving overall stability. Additionally, the wind creates a more challenging environment for pests, helping to keep them at bay. Smart Watering Strategy I only water the plants when the pots feel noticeably lighter. This encourages the roots to search for water, promoting the development of a stronger and more extensive root system. This method helps ensure the plants remain healthy and resilient. Pest Management: Observations and Actions At the beginning of the third week, I noticed dark discolorations on the undersides of some leaves. A few days later, these spots turned into yellow patches. I am still unsure about the cause of these spots. To prevent a potential insect infestation, I sprayed all the leaf surfaces, both top and bottom, with a mildly dosed neem oil mixture. Since then, the spots have not spread further. Because these discolorations are only affecting the lower leaves, they are not causing me significant concern at the moment. Regular inspections and preventive measures are crucial to maintaining the health of the plants and ensuring that any issues are caught early. Decision Against LST At first I have decided against using LST. But some of your comments made me try some LST on two of my plants. I choose Tangie and Gorilla cookies to try out and learn some stuff. Blue dream and Banana purple punch stay without any training. Thanks guys for your advice 👍 Monitoring and Care My daily routine involves checking the plants every morning and evening. This includes: Monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. Inspecting the plants for any signs of pests or nutrient deficiencies. Growth Observations The plants are responding well to the controlled environment and balanced nutrition. They are growing rapidly, with new leaves appearing almost daily. The stems are thickening, and the overall structure of the plants is robust and healthy. Looking Ahead As we head into week 4, I am optimistic about the continued growth and health of my plants. The combination of a stable environment, appropriate nutrient levels, and diligent care is proving successful. I’m excited to see how they progress and adapt as they move closer to the flowering stage. Seeking Feedback and Tips Your feedback and tips are valuable to me! If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my growing techniques or insights based on your own experiences, please feel free to share them in the comments below. Let's grow together!

They are filling out. Have brown turned up tips, EC is good on run off, increasing water. The big Skunk #1 has some purpling and yellowing on some of the upper fan leaves, I belive it is hungry as it is the largest and the others do not show any of the same condition including the other Skunk #1 that is much smaller.

10/2 They made it to their forever pots. Next Saturday we'll be hitting 2 months from sprout and as a whole its been a pleasure to grow these plants. They all are a very healthy green and seem to be happy. Temperatures in the region may have unexpectedly slowed them down (I grow in a basement) because temps have plummeted from around 78 with the lights on to as low as 71! I don't think they like it either. Growth has slowed with it. Never fear, space heater is here. Everything thing needs to be dialed in for the next few weeks because I want explosive growth over the next 21 days. Going to try a SST somewhere in there. Parsing through all this bro science isn't easy but it sure is fun to experiment. It allegedly gives you good root growth and provides crucial enzymes. Almost sounds too good to be true but I'm going to see how it goes regardless. I heard you can use I wide variety of seeds but alpha alpha is the only one I have on hand. Wish me luck. As for the plants: Moby= beast. I'd be a fool not to attempt to clone her. Vigorous grower and responds well to training. Not a demanding eater either, at least so far. Loving this freebie from NASC. Highly recommend them if you're in the northeast US looking for a local seed bank. GZ 1 = steady. Probably the biggest back slide if you want to call it that. Spotted some yellowing on lower leaves but they are shaded by this ones thick canopy. May not even be an issue but we keep an eye on it. Probably the biggest critic of the lowering temperatures because she's slowed down in the past 2 days. Gz2= trooper. She had a rougher upbringing and she's got a far different shape than the other two because of it. But with a little work I'm sure soon both GZ will be indistinguishable from one another. Banana daddy= forgot to take pics of her. Man have I been growing autoflowers all wrong. I may have fed this plant once. Though it should be noted that the soil I put her in was amended with alpha alpha, fish bone meal, and guano. She seems to really enjoy it so far. Not a single yellow leaf. Droopy at times though which is odd. Also some tacoing on new growth that ends up correcting itself as the leaf gets bigger. Double odd. Next time I do an auto run I'm definitely doing much less in terms of feeding and maintenance. Loving your plants too much can be deadly. Starting to figure them out though so I'm happy I did at least one. I'll post in a few days when I water my photos again.
