2 days on 12/12 . The plants aren’t stretching at all. I tried raising the light to 70 cm and reducing the power to 65%, just for the first week. I’m starting to add a bit of bloom fertilizer to the water, and in two weeks I’ll give the first dose of guano. I also used to grow peppers and tomatoes there, so I hope nothing carried over into the substrate. Talk to you again in a week (didn’t have time last week). Have a great weekend, everyone!✊

OCTOBER 18th to OCTOBER 24TH Sunrise: 08:31 | Sunset: 18:50 | Total Daylight: 10:19 Weather over the past week saw several consecutive days of full cloud cover and rainy periods. Greenhouse has held temperatures during the day, and only dropped below 10C once (Day 168). Good periods of sun on Day 167 and 168, with the forecast looking sunny for the next few days. I suspect that will help along the ripening process as the plants process nutrients from the fan leaves during the fade. There hasn't really been any issues with humidity levels, as it has hovered in and around 40% to 45% RH Purple Romulan isn't as near to ripe as I'd like, with many trichome heads still clear, with only a few cloudy. Not a lot of time left as it is getting quite cold outdoors, and honestly there isn't a lot of sunlight now that we are down to 10 hours. DAY 162 2L of plain rainwater (cold) applied to each specimen. DAY 163 n/a DAY 164 15C in greenhouse in the morning; Cloudy and cool day overall, but greenhouse holding temperatures above 19C and plants are clearly going through senescence. DAY 165 Steady rain overnight, with armer temperatures; Greenhouse held overnight at 17.5C and 50% RH. Cool, cloudy and rainy day (high of 9C, 97% RH, but greenhouse and the associated equipment performing as designed and holding temperatures at 19.5C with humidity ranging from 40% to 45%. DAY 166 Cool and rainy overnight (6C intermittent light rain). Greenhouse held to 16.5C and 41% RH. Noticed some droop so provided 1L of plain rainwater (cold) via drip in the afternoon to each specimen and everyone perked up thereafter. Temperatures reached 19C for much of the day, with 43% humidity. Temperatures outdoors were a high of 7C, with 80% humidity (or more) during the day. Remained overcast for much of the day, but there was a couple of periods of increased brightness. Plants are doing well, all fading; Purple Romulan's long and abundant pistils have only began to wilt to a bright orange colour wholeheartedly over the last 7 days. Flowers are of decent size, have a typical hybrid shape with trichome production that looks to be average. Smells of pine but has a sweetness as an undertone. Trichome heads on calyxes remain mostly clear. When rubbing fingers over sugar leaves, this plant is notably greasy in comparison to any other specimens in the garden. DAY 167 Overnight low of 2C, greenhouse held at 12.5C and 41% RH. After a cloudy cool morning, the sun broke through and warmed up the greenhouse shortly after the noon hour. Exhaust fan even came on intermittently to reduce temps below 24C. Humidity was ideal all day, in and around 40%. After noting some droop, applied 1L of plain rainwater (cold) via drip. This may be the last watering of the season. I think it will be possible to decommission the irrigation system for the winter over the coming weekend. I can pull 20L of water for use either for this crop and/or the mother tent. DAY 168 Greenhouse 9.5C (-2C outside) in the morning with 40% RH. Sunny morning, with greenhouse warming to over 10C by 9:30AM; Exhaust fan kicked in to hold temperatures at 24C just before the noon hour.

Slt, déjà la fin de la semaine 5. Les plantes ont très bien récupérées de leur topping et de leur défoliation. Les plantes semblent être en bonne santé. Je viens juste de refaire une défoliation et du LST, pour avoir la structure voulu et donner toute l’énergie de la plante pour les tiges principales, en espérant que cela soit profitable aux plantes. J’espère ne pas m’être trompé.🙏 En photos et vidéos je montre avant et après la défoliation et le LST, et le fonctionnement du sytème d’irrigation. A la semaine prochaine... Happy grow😎 Ps: le rendu des couleurs sur les vidéos et photos peu être bizarre à cause de la LED.

. 🌿 Vorwort vom Gärtner: Es gibt tatsächlich nicht viel zu sagen. Am faszinierendsten finde ich momentan, wie viel Wasser die Pflanzen mittlerweile verbrauchen. Von Woche zu Woche steigt der Bedarf spürbar an und durch die AutoPots lässt sich das ziemlich genau beobachten. An meinem Setup werde ich vorerst nichts verändern. Es gibt zwar noch 1-2 Kleinigkeiten, die ich gerne optimieren würde. Zum Beispiel hätte ich künftig gerne ein eigenes Ventil pro AutoPot, um noch etwas flexibler arbeiten zu können. Aktuell läuft jedoch alles zuverlässig, weshalb ich keinen Grund sehe, während eines laufenden Grows weitere Änderungen vorzunehmen. Für meinen nächstes Tagebuch möchte ich außerdem damit beginnen, den Verbrauch etwas genauer zu dokumentieren. Gerade für neue Grower können konkrete Angaben zu Wasserverbrauch und Entwicklung interessant sein. Dank der AutoPots lässt sich das relativ präzise nachvollziehen, sodass ich künftig versuchen werde, etwas detailliertere Werte festzuhalten. Man liest schließlich oft allgemeine Angaben. Wie viel die Pflanzen am Ende tatsächlich trinken. 🌿 Achja, heute hab ich mich doch dazu entschieden ein letztes mal "richtig" zu entlauben aber nicht alle, ich experimentiere noch etwas. 🌱 Tag 35 - Stretch-Modus aktiviert Der Stretch ist mittlerweile nicht mehr zu übersehen. Gefühlt legen wir jeden Tag an Höhe zu und die Triebe schieben sich immer weiter dem Licht entgegen. Die Pflanzenstruktur verändert sich sichtbar und die ersten Blütenansätze werden von Tag zu Tag deutlicher. Auch diese Woche lief alles weitgehend problemlos. Über die AutoPots wurden insgesamt etwa 20-25 Liter Wasser verbraucht. Der steigende Wasserbedarf zeigt deutlich, dass die Pflanzen aktuell ordentlich Gas geben und viel Energie ins Wachstum stecken. Außerdem gab es diese Woche einen wichtigen Schritt bei der Nährstoffversorgung: Der Wechsel von Dutch Pro Grow auf Dutch Pro Bloom ist erfolgt. Damit beginnt langsam die nächste Phase und der Fokus verlagert sich zunehmend von reinem Wachstum hin zur Blütenentwicklung. Aktuell sehen die Pflanzen gesund und vital aus. Besonders der Stretch macht sich bemerkbar und sorgt dafür, dass sich das Blätterdach fast täglich verändert. Es bleibt spannend zu beobachten, wie viel Höhe in den nächsten Tagen noch dazukommt, bevor wir uns vollständig auf die Blüten konzentrieren können. Bis jetzt läuft alles nach Plan. Die AutoPots arbeiten zuverlässig, die Pflanzen wirken zufrieden und Woche 6 verspricht spannend zu werden. 🌿 Bis nächste Woche!

All and all I popped 19 seeds lost one after it came above ground 5 of those I will be posting on here which are mandarin cookie crossed with zweet og they are regular photoperiod plants so I will have to sex them it is a small pheno hunt looking for something to keep as a mother plant didn’t use any nutes for the first week

Despite the worm 🐛 eating some of the leaves...I am very happy with the plants vigorous growth. Had to resort to a spray solution to rid the bugs.

My wedding gelato is one of the only plants that seems to be over sensitive to being transplanted and moved under the larger light. I guess it’s possible it’s sensitive to over watering but I have not watered the plants in the large pots sense I transplanted them I still have a back up of every plant so of this one don’t come around quick I’ll just rip it out and switch with its sister that’s doing just fine

Slight defoliation this week. These plants are absolutely breathtaking. However, these will be low yield plants. I normally yield an average of a qp on my auto flowers, I look for these to be around 2 ounces per plant. Maybe. I normally grow in coco loco by Bush doctor. This grow is in FFOF. But i also went to 5 gallon pots this time, usually i run 3 gallon. This leads me to believe for sure. That this is genetic. Looking forward to the finished product here however, as this looks amazing, and smells like candy.

The addition of an enzyme has produced amazing results that were shocking and worrying at first. Massive rise in EC and PH every 24 hours from 5.3 - 6.8. Research yet no sign of any harm to the plants, in fact they seem very happy! The enzymes has created an environment friendly to the beneficial microbes and fungi that has lead to a feeding frenzy (Which wouldn't have happened ad I used Hygrozyme from the start.). EC rises a point or two as the microbes and plants expel waste and create a plethora of negative charged hydrogen ions. Thus, the PH rises. Never above 6.8, strangely. Because the microbes are eating and shitting so well, they have added a lot of chilated nutrients that are easier for the plants to uptake at a wider range of PH (Yes, some as high as 6.8). The fact that there are so many bunches of calyxes sprouting and exploding, filling in the flower space is proof enough for me.

She kind of stalled out on me this week. I think the thicker soil and flush last week deoxygenated her roots but now that the soil is drying out I see a bunch more white hairs starting to poke through so she’s got some work to do. I’m gonna flush her Friday or Saturday of this week and let her enjoy some drought time and then hitter with some recharge following the flush. Recharge won’t do anything besides maintain roof health at this point which is all I want. No water or nutrients given this week.

Day 43: Watered at 6.5 today. Girls looking pretty good other than a small amount of clawing on some leaves. Thinking I have the fan blasted on them too much. Backed it off a touch and we shall see. Also, my rust spots are starting to come back barely and I think I may up the nutes next go as they are hungry. Stacking up nicely though. Day 44: Busy, no update. Day 45: Girls looking frosty! Think I may have screwed the pooch on one of the girls. Got a little rough picking up the pots and may have snapped a main cola. In the uploaded video notice where its zoomed. Praying! 🙏 Day 46: Letting the girls dry out today. Will give em a thorough watering tomorrow. Not able to upload pics/vids currently. Day 47: No new updates. Day 48: The girls look great! 💪 Gave them a cleanse and just fed with CalMag and Sensizym. Looks like they are finished with the stretch and starting to build mass. Hoping for at least a couple huge colas! Day 49: Looking good. No new updates. I have been keeping a very close eye on the runoff PPM's as I am starting to have some rusty splotches on the leaves again. I have upped the CalMag to see if this helps as that is what it is looking like.

Another week in the books and significant growth as I increase dosage of nutrients, closer to 100% full dosage. I have read mixed messages about feeding every watering, to every other, to once a week...full strength, 1/2 strength, etc etc. I decided to ease into the nutes and work my way up, and feed only weekly. Less is more! Wait for her to get a little bigger and more mature and will feel better feeding at 100% full dosage. Did some more LST, pulling down higher stems and continue to build the table. Day 37: more growth; did some light defoliation to open up center; raised light to 18" (was at 15" in some spots) as it continues to grow. Day 41: more growth; transplanted into 5 gal fabric pot; installed ScROG and will continue veg stage until rest of the plant catches up to at least a few inches above the screen

Hey guys, it's been a great journey but I've finally hung my Stardawg out to dry! Yesterday was their last day totalling 8 weeks on flower. Realistically they could have benefited from a further week because the lower buds are somewhat underdeveloped but then I would risk losing the preferred sweet high smoke of the top buds. With this being my first attempt it's been a great learner not only for how to care for the plants but also the environment. As soon as these went into flower and started stretching I knew that putting 6 in a 2.4 x 1.2m tent was a bad idea. They just got so big which is the cause of the lower sites not being as good as the top colas. Despite that I'm really happy with the outcome and I'm hoping ive got 30oz+ of real good quality nugs. All of the top colas have turned a gorgeous violet colour too which you can see on the pictures and I absolutely love. For my next grow I've gone with 6 fastbuds strains which hopefully will go under a scrog. Check back next week for the harvest and weigh in!
