Hello Diary. The second week of flowering is behind me. There’s already a real jungle in the box, and as I announced last week, I did my first defoliation this week. I removed all the leaves from the lower branches and thus allowed her better airflow since there are three plants in the box. Two Haze Berry Auto and one Fat Banana Auto. As you can see in the pictures, the plants are really beautiful, with a bunch of flowers that fill up and develop nicely. Watering is every third day, when each plant in the box receives approximately 2.5 liters of water. I started adding CalMg preventively, 1.5 ml / lit and I continue with BioBizz, I will add it by feeling so we will see how the plants will react to that. Here's what the week looked like: 23/10/2020 - Day 29. Watering. This time I only added CalMg without BioBizz. p.H I regulated to 6.4 and the temperature of the water I water with is always around 20 degrees. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26.5 degrees and 51% humidity. 24/10/2020 - Day 30. Defoliation. As I wrote earlier, I cleaned the leaves on the lower branches and allowed better airflow and easier watering. 26/10/2020 - Day 32. Watering. I always prepare about 8 liters of water with which I water all three plants. This time I added both CalMg and BioBizz. p.H. - 6.4 Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.4 degrees and 44% humidity. 29/10/2020 - Day 35. Photographing and watering. I took photos for this week just in the box. I think I will only take photos on a black background for the last two weeks of flowering so as not to disturb them too much. I then watered the plants only with water with regulated p.H at 6.4. That's all for this week, so far everything is great and I hope it will continue that way. See you soon.

Nothing new, a little late. I‘ll keep you updated✌️

I expect these girls too be flying into forming buds this week hoping all sites give generously as it seems they are all thick with pistils as can see 🌱 lollipopping has benefitted from what I can tell. Intensity of light reduced hopefully no issues to come from that as I seen leaves tips burnt slightly so changed light 💡 The smaller tropicana cookies ff looks like shes gonna produce some nice sizes heads 🤞 If anyone has any comments feel free, thanks guys/girls Please note all feeds measurements are per litre

Wow the terps on this plant are insane super tropical fruit sweet and funky. She's doing well so far, probably flush soon as only another week or so left before she gets chopped. Only about 5% amber atm. This is definitely a smoke I'm super excited to try. Good luck everyone and happy growing 🌴

Started the flush on the skittles The runtz is having a mega growth spurt and is growing very quick, lots of bud sites. Little ethos is still a baby lol but hopefully will be a beast 🙏

Davvero buono, gusto e sapore unico

Week 12 kicking off and she is getting chunky still, will be another couple weeks before she is done. Definitely the higher yielding one of the two. Coming up on the end of the 12th week and she is producing new bud sites still. I had to cut off a 6 inch side branch that grew in and started preflowering but was a small branch and would not have time to finish. Not sure what brought on the flower bursts, but she is chunky! And she smells like fruity pebbles so that is awesome!

It's been an exciting journey training my plants, and I'm happy with the progress they've made. I've been implementing various training techniques to encourage healthy growth and maximize yields. The plants have responded positively to the training, and I'm hopeful that they will continue to thrive and develop as planned. Fingers crossed for a successful outcome!

JOANNE'S CBD / ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS WEEK #21 OVERALL WEEK #9 FLOWER This lady made a 💪 strong go of it she was a slow starter but she produced some nice size dense buds one week left until harvest as she's in flush mode!! Stay Growing!!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!!! THANK YOU ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS!!! JOANNE'S CBD / ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS

As always it's just a pleasure to grow this sativa dominant strain which definitely reminds me of a great indica with her extremely fruity and tropical sweet terpenes, very happy to have her in my garden and to be able to smoke such a high quality strain once again, hope you guys have enjoyed as much as me!

Week 5 done and dusted and these girls have started their flowering stage, stoked! This week has been a bit slow growing for them unfortunately, I've been super busy and haven't been tending to them as much as I would have liked. I started the week with an over water and then neglected them for a few days and and they dried right out. They were not looking happy. I then top dressed the girls with Herbi's all natural nutrients, 2.5 tablespoons of bloom and 2.5 of Veg mixed in with 5 tablespoons of Worm castings for each girl and i got back to regular watering. They've sprung back up to life but I can't help but think it's another bit of stunt they didn't need. This Gorilla Cookies girl also got another light defoliation yesterday to let the light penetrate through to all the budsites. She's looking happy enough. Hope you all had a good week and thanks for checking in 🙏

She growes nice. Additionaly shereacts good to the Lst. I further bend her down and erased some leaves. The light runs at 75%. I increased the humidity.

MONDAY 5/26 4am put up some readings from last night. I did 10, 10 Con Bloom PLUS 2mL of Bud Factor X. 1230pm WOW I hit the gears just right on BUD FACTOR X!!!... In FIVE YEARS...NEVER GOT IT RIGHT.... This combo worked the chloroplast tanks seemed flat, the X made a visible difference in how puffy the top sugar leaves are and the amount of resin is exactly like the advertisements....finally. There was something I thought was "sludge" in using X with Con. There IS a reaction between Con Bloom Part A, the color one and X. A reaction with amino acids, and protein binding from my observation, not a spoilage or rancid issue. 245pm What a day, I hope my Cuban robot girlfriend has Frank Sinatra playing, oh wait thats Bladerunner. 5/28 The tumor on my neck is getting horrible, I dont go to doctors and I dont call 911 so im going to get several bottles of whiskey and then I will open up the cysts. if I dont die from the infection I should be ok. 350pm Mars Hydro FC1500-EVO 150W 🚨👍 soon 5/29 420am. I HAVE BEEN UPLOADING AND SCREAMING ABOUT VIDEOS NOT WORKING....they ONLY work in NEW VIEW.....goddamnit!!!!!! I just figured it out........ PLANTS LOOK GREAT 5/30 Wating for the new light, should be here soon!! plants are getting top heavy. 4 cola design means I can do a diamond wire shape and they will be self supporting no external SCREENS or messes from that. 5/31 Saturday. MARS-HYDRO got the Samsung version of this light in TENT 2!!! I put on the BLUTOOTH ADAPTER it works great. I measure the amount of WATTS not percent of light but still very very nice works perfectly. MAKE THE APP PASSWORD FIRST OR IT WONT WORK RIGHT!!!! 🚨THE NEW LIGHT IN TENT 2: FC1500-EVO 150W SAMSUNG LED FOR MY RICKY PLANTS!!! The Grimm Seeds are strong as hell and can take the new lights, even at 93W might be too much, I might get to lower the overall wattage and save even more energy that way👍 6/1 SUNDAY THE NEW LIGHT IS MAKING MASSIVE DIFFENCE NICE with the new light!!!

Starting the sixth week of my ladies. Cleaning the bottom and removing the « suckers » (future popcorn buds at the basis) to get more energy to the top !

This was a good week to learn a few things about what I want to do for the next grow. This grow, I let the ladies grow to 5 nodes before topping to the third - next grow, I would top to the third when the 4th is clearly visible. I am about 1 week behind schedule, waiting for the nodes on the mainline to grow so they can be topped again. Going to top them into 8 main cola’s. Reduced water in the buckets to 7l so that the roots have to work a little harder because Cheech was showing signs of being over-watered. Lights remained at 60cm about the plants, 1ml of all nutrients per litre of water.

Giovedì 11 luglio Cambiamo soluzione e rinnoviamo i nutrienti le piante iniziano a fiorire, spero che esplodano!!!! Fin ora nessun tipo di problema, Ph 6 ec 1984 Questi prodotti mi stanno piacendo molto, ho finalmente risolto gli sbalzi di ph!

Week 11 (10-4 to 16-4) 10-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 52% (lowest) No pictures. Added 10L to the reservoir, and turned it on for a couple of minutes. 11-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 61% (highest) 52% (lowest) 12-4 Temperature: 25.5 degrees (lights on) 22 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 57% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. 13-4 Temperature: 26.5 degrees (lights on) 23 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 56% (lowest) 14-4 Temperature: 26.4 degrees (lights on) 22.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 45% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. The reservoir is almost empty, there is 850 ml left. 15-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 20 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 59% (highest) 49% (lowest) No pictures. 16-4 Temperature: 23.5 degrees (lights on) 19.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 53% (lowest) Today i defoliated both plants heavily for the last time, you can say i did a method called: schwazzing. Turned on the reservoir for a couple of minutes. (Till the AutoPots are full and the valve closes) Rised the pots aswell, so the canopy is very even. I let them recover from the heavy defoliation i did, and next week i will slowly increase the light's strength. (Now still at 50% 50cm)

Number one in looks awesome I mean it's got flowers everywhere kind of smells like a sweet rotten apple almost kind of funky crazy butt structure though crazy bus structure number two and it looks like I'm coming across a nitrogen deficiency on it and try to fix it and root of tea for him this week so should be good too totally different see no type both California snow Fastbuds

😍 Beauty. Empty water with NPK raw enzymes, amino and humic/fulvic. Checking the EC of the pot, ranges vary but overall sitting around d 1.2-1.6ms/cm. I can notice tips on one, ever so slightly yellow, hints that ec is on the line. See how long she can go with just water. So far, so good. They are at that size when the growth snowball really starts to pick up. Upped ppfd, first sign of flower showing on 1 plant. Applied a fair bit of IR, which has stretched the stems; they know if they want to reach the high ppfd they need for flower, then they need to stretch accordingly. All you can eat buffet made to order. Plant perception allows plants to sense the direction, intensity, quality, and duration of light, using this information to direct growth, optimize photosynthesis, and adjust development. This ability to "see" light and respond accordingly is a fundamental survival mechanism. The interaction between microorganisms and the plant rhizosphere creates an active environment that directly contributes to soil electrical conductivity (EC), facilitating nutrient availability and, consequently, enabling better plant growth. A healthy, microbially active rhizosphere acts as a living, conductive bridge that converts locked-up resources into bioavailable, charged particles (ions) that the plant can directly use to grow. Microbes break down organic matter and minerals, releasing ions (N, P, K, etc.) slowly and in alignment with plant needs. Unlike synthetic fertilizers that dump a high concentration of salts at once (causing instant, great EC osmotic shock), microbial processes provide a steadier stream of nutrients. Beneficial microbes produce osmolytes, antioxidants, and signaling molecules (like auxins and ACC deaminase) that help plants manage drought, salt, and temperature stress. Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) create hydrated biofilms around roots, maintaining a more stable water environment. If an excessive amount of soluble nutrients or salts is added (e.g., heavy compost, manure, or excessive mineral amendments), the total dissolved solids can still exceed the plant's tolerance threshold. Intense evaporation, drought, or extreme heat can concentrate salts in the soil solution regardless of how active the microbes are. (Balance). The ability of microbes to buffer the soil is finite. If the input exceeds the biological processing speed, osmotic stress can occur. This is where high CEC comes in useful. Because of this active exchange, the plant creates a localized chemistry that favors what it needs: If the plant needs calcium, it increases exudates that favor calcium solubilization and exchange. The plant can alter the pH immediately around the roots to make specific nutrients more available while locking up others. It doesn't need. The high CEC acts as a buffer against over-fertilization or pH swings. Instead of nutrient antagonism (where too much of one thing blocks another), the microbial activity helps balance nutrient availability. In a high-CEC organic system, the plant acts as a manager, utilizing microbes and root chemistry to pull exactly what it needs from the "bank" of soil nutrients. Nature knows best. I let her feed herself now. If a leaf is photosynthesizing, it makes ATP (via light reactions) and sugars. If a root is respiring, it burns sugars to make ATP for itself. They do not share a common, transferable "pool." While you don't get a "bigger ATP pool" by adding root ATP to leaf ATP, growing organically allows for better energy allocation. In organic systems, mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria break down nutrients. This requires less direct energy expenditure from the plant to seek out raw minerals compared to hydroponics/synthetic, where the plant might have to push harder roots to find uptake points. Healthy, microbe-rich roots need less energy for defense and can focus on absorption. Plants send sugars (made in leaves) down to roots to feed microbes, which in turn bring back nutrients/salt ions to create a EC of 0.5ms/cm. This symbiotic loop means the plant spends less energy on acquiring nutrients, leaving more energy available for building biomass. Leaves make Glucose (Sugar) via Photosynthesis. Sugars travel to the roots. Roots use that sugar to fuel respiration to gain nutrients. Nutrients travel back up to fuel more Leaf growth. Organic growing doesn't create a larger combined ATP pool; it creates more efficient energy usage and resource allocation. Because the plant isn't wasting energy fighting for nutrients or managing osmotic stress from synthetic salts, it has more metabolic energy left over to put into growth. High Transpiration Rate. Stronger Mass Flow. More water/nutrients to roots. Increased uptake. It is a "pull" system that acts as the primary conveyor belt for plant nutrition.
