Schönen Sonntag euch 😊 🌿 Wochenupdate Alles läuft weiterhin stabil =) Mein Fokus liegt aktuell auf dem Messen und Erhalten der Nährstofflösung. Bulking hat begonnen und ich freu mich jedes Mal, wenn ich das Zelt aufmachen kann =D Wer den Run hier mitliest, hat mitbekommen, dass ich mich bewusst für einen relativ hohen Start-EC entschieden habe. Das lag zum einen am Bedarf der Genetiken, die sich im Bereich zwischen Middle und Heavy Feed bewegen (wobei der Cross rückblickend nicht so der schlauste Take war 😅). Zum anderen lag es daran, dass ich recht viel Reservoirvolumen habe und möglichst wenige Eingriffe geplant waren =) Ziel war es dabei, jederzeit eine Mindestverfügbarkeit zu gewährleisten. Durch dieses, nennen wir es mal, frühe Gewöhnen – natürlich immer mit Blick auf die Reaktion der Ladies, konnte ich den EC komplett stressfrei bis 2,3 anheben. Danach war für mich Schluss, weil ich ehrlich gesagt keinen Mehrwert darin erkannt habe, sie nicht verheizen wollte und vor allem die Messungen gezeigt haben, dass der selektive Wasserverbrauch zu heftige Maße angenommen hat.. Sprich: Die Lösung selbst konzentriert sich über Zeit zu stark und der EC steigt in zu großen Schritten. Ich habe also damit begonnen, ab diesem Peak-Point den reinen Wasserverbrauch – Achtung, festhalten =DD mit Cal/Mag versetzt wieder aufzufüllen. In den Messungen hat sich dabei ein klares Pattern abgezeichnet 📊 Über 24 Stunden zeigt sich ein leichter Anstieg im EC, bedingt durch primären Wasserverbrauch, bei gleichzeitig sinkendem pH-Wert. Parallel habe ich natürlich immer beobachtet, wie die Ladies auf die Verläufe reagieren =) Sobald ich sehe, dass sich dieses funktionierende Pattern minimal verschiebt, in meinem Fall ein ansteigender EC bei gleichzeitig steigendem pH, refreshe ich 30 Liter der Lösung . Nach dem 30-Liter-Refresh fällt das System wieder in sein vorheriges, stabiles Pattern zurück. Für mich ist das ein klarer Hinweis darauf, dass der Mini-Shift das erste Anzeichen eines beginnenden Ungleichgewichts war =) Ab hier geht’s wieder weiter im Loop 🔄 Ich habe hier echt für mich mitgenommen, dass ein Teil-Refresh ein gutes Diagnose-Werkzeug sein kann. Wenn sich Verläufe nur minimal anders verhalten als gewohnt und man keine klare Ursache validieren kann, kann ein moderater Refresh dabei helfen zu prüfen, ob das System wieder in sein normales Uptake-Pattern zurückfindet. Normalisiert sich das Verhalten danach, kann man unter diesen konstanten Bedingungen davon ausgehen, dass die Ursache in der Lösung lag und nicht bei den Plants oder im Klima 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Endlich ein spannenderer Teil zu berichten =D Das ganze Zelt riecht einfach wie ein Traum, ich würd da am liebsten den ganzen Tag davor sitzen =)) 🌿 Blueberry Cupcake frostet schön weiter ❄️ Bildet aktuell schön homogene Sites und zeigt sich als echt solide Genetik 💪 Sie macht viel mit und lässt sich wirklich gut trainieren. Meine Freundin sagt, die Gute riecht extrem nach Blaubeere – surprise, surprise =D Ich finde eher, sie riecht wie Blaubeerquark? =D Bin wirklich gespannt. Purpz entwickelt sich auch wirklich traumhaft 😊 Schöne kleine Golfbälle, allesamt synchron im Aufbau. Die Trichombildung ist mittlerweile auf Augenhöhe mit BBCC und wirkt nur durch die hellere Pflanzenfarbe selbst weniger spektakulär ✨ Vom Geruch her sehr fruchtig-süßlich, klar in den hellen Noten, aber nicht wirklich definierbar 🍬 Meine Freundin sagt, sie stinkt nach „Gras“ 😂.. Notorious THC frostet aktuell etwas hinterher, was bei den Infos, die ich dazu habe, auch zu erwarten war. Das Blattbild irritiert mich nach wie vor ein wenig, aber da sie sich sichtbar weiterentwickelt und sonst alles sauber läuft, schiebe ich das aktuell auf die Genetik =) Deckt sich auch mit den Infos drüber. Vom Aufbau her ist sie absolut gleichauf mit ihren Schwestern. Sie riecht ziemlich kush-mäßig, musste direkt an so einen dumpfen, aber geilen OG-Smoke denken🔥 =D Meine Freundin wollte ich hiermit nicht belasten – Dessert-Strains only ist hier die Erkenntnis 😄 Guzzlerz kommt auch langsam. Ihre Sites sind recht zart im Vergleich und leider auch deutlich weniger. Sie frostet mittlerweile und ist für ihren Stand synchron gegangen =D ❄️ Ihre Schwestern sind einfach zu dominant – man sieht, das war der schwächste Seed und das zieht sich 😬 Die Ansätze sind trotzdem sehr vielversprechend und in Zukunft gehe ich das auf jeden Fall nochmal an 💚 ⚙️ System Top-Ups erhalten weiterhin die Lösung =) 🔧 1,20 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt EC 2.000–2.100 µS/cm 1.000 PPFD Danke mal wieder für eure Zeit 😊 Auf ein gutes neues Jahr und feiert schön 🎉🥂

Added a humidifier and removed the dome lid. They've been underwatered these last days and their size isn't what I would expect at this point. Update: 01/12 --> As you can tell by the look of those roots, they are ready to be transplanted into a 2 gal pot. They are starting to take off, especially the one on the left. I'll be adding Biobizz Root Juice at low doses in next waterings. Looks promising.

Started to really fatten up at this point. Gave a very small dosage of micro grow bloom 3 part fertilizer towards the end of the week and they seem to really take off. Almost lost them in the back of the tent. Have some orange sherbet flowering in the tent that really bushes out :p

This girl it is a very resilient client has only received mistreating him from me I have them all tied up like a bouquet of flowers came in then no space to breathe and no place to move because it has such an incredible stretch and growth that it was taking over the light of the entire tent despite being a back up plant that I put in the same planter with another string that I thought I was going to lose her this one is very strong and I have not allow her to develop properly so it is very Bushy plant I am not sure if it’s me or is the strain of plant nevertheless it has a very vigourous growth thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

Buds bulking up. Week 7 flowering

Trying to dial their veg in. Nutes may be too old or too high. Changed with 4ml CaMg per gallon of RO water. The rest is MaxiGrow. Ever since adding rockwool to the grow, I have struggled. I don't have the dry back timed right yet. I moved my fan to dry the top of the pot surface instead of in the root zone or at the canopy height. After about 10 days I dumped out the rockwool and have replaced with hydroton. My initial though on using rockwool was to give the roots more space during late life stages. My experience has been with hydroton and I notice that the roots eventually get bound because the hydroton is a durable material and will not crush or compact. Rockwool on the other hand will compress when squeezed so I was hoping that in the late life stages the roots would compress the rockwool and make more room in the pots. The issue was dryback. If I used chunks instead of croutons, this may help but the other reason I used them was because I had them here already. If anyone is trying to slow their dryback down, they should consider adding 10% volume of croutons to hold moisture in the medium a bit longer. Notice anything different? They are starting to adapt to their new media. Hopefully by next week I can get them to perk up. One plant has looked better than the other three. I have no idea what these plants need to “perk up”. Possibly a different grower. If a grape terpine wasn’t in the end results I would have culled these long ago. Hopefully they perk up when we get to flower. 3 look ,,,, meh, the fourth is descent. Trimmed all four back down to 12” tall. Flower next week.

_____ Week 12 | Day 85 - 91 | 5th week of Flower ______ Day 79🌞 oh yes... the smell when I open the tent becomes more and more intense. The buds also look more and more frosty... I think the extra side light pays off, where normally there is little or no light, the buds look just as frosty as the top colas. I hope you can see that well in the pictures... unfortunately I don't have much space to take good pictures of the pages... Only LPH 2 & 3 can be seen well from the front. Amnesia Haze: Amnesia, as expected, is much slower in development than LPH and Biscotti. Number 1 looks a bit wilder and scruffy than 2 and 3. Also from the development 2 and 3 are further and form already diligent trichomes Biscotti: both biscottis look identical, same pheno I think. development is very good and already looks very frosty Lemon Power Haze: LPH 2 & 3 look identical, with number 3 looking frostier and furthest along in terms of development. LPH number 1 looks totally different, the buds look quite small, and it also looks different. I have to think about something for watering. I love my plants but watering 8 pieces in such a small space is no fun hehe. At the moment I water them manually via a small water pump, the whole thing is very fast but I still have to dislocate myself every time to get to the back plants. this is not the yellow from the egg :D For the next grow, the plants have to be higher and I'm thinking of an automatic water supply. Actually, watering my plants calms me down when I do it with the watering can, but under different conditions...Possibly also fewer plants but more training. When the tent is empty again, I start to implement my plans. I'm also thinking about growing 1 or 2 plants in a DWC system. Whether I make something myself or buy something ready-made is not yet clear. If you have any tips, feel free to write to me. Day 81 🌞💧 - Today was feeding time again, as announced again after the 3rd day. I mixed a little more than 25 liters and provided each plant with ~3 liters Day 84 🌞💧 - Three days are over again and the plants are hungry again. 3 liter each Plant, small drain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Light - 12/12 h - 560 Watt - 2x 200 Watt Toplight - 4 x 40 Watt Lightbars PPFD - 900 - 1000 µmol Temp. avg. - 22,1° Hum. avg. - 56,3 % RLH

Aloha Freunde der Sonne 🙏 Wir sind kurz vor dem Ziel und das kann man schön deutlich sehen. Die schönen Farben und der Zuckerbesatz lässt sich sehen.

GORILLA KING AUTO / KANNABIA WEEK # OVERALL WEEK #2 FLOWER This week great progress she's starting to form some nice looking buds that are taking shape quickly she's vibrant and strong!! Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! Thank you KANNABIA!! GORILLA KING AUTO / KANNABIA.COM

Jelly Bananen was the strain I was looking forward to the most. There wasn't much information on it when I initially ordered the seeds, but I was intrigued by the breeder's description nonetheless and decided to give it a shot. In flowering, there were two incidents where the light schedule was interrupted unexpectedly. In response, the plant started to produce "nanners". Ironically, Jelly Bananen was the only plant in the garden to do this. I produced 88g of dry weight, not knowing what to expect on the scales. I'm sure that 88g on one plant is probably pretty bad, but it should only get better from harvest to harvest, am I right? Will be coming back to this strain again in the future, once I have a few harvests in the books. 🙌

The plants are happy and their buds are growing, although not super quickly. Sour lemon OG is definitely the most pollinated and its buds are the airiest with seeds emerging. The hermie in the backyard fell over last night and snapped a few branches :( I patched him up and I hope he's okay! Humidity is still high but dropping (75% RH today) as the weather outside gets cooler.

Start of week 7. I think I will just feed water this week. I have lots of nutes still in the soil and leaves. They wont get much water this week maybe 1 or 2 flushes. Next week I wanted to experiment with light deprivation, as well as crank my A/C as high as possible. May even split one of the stems to see if it makes a difference. 12/12/18 Everything looking good. No problems, the ladies as super frosty and the smell is intense. Impatience is starting to kick it. So tempted to take a tester bud. But that's a waste.

This week was explosive! I bumped up the grow nutrients and added the Bud Ignitor at 1/4 strength. I also increased the water amount progressively building up to a half gallon by the end of the week. Mid week I stepped the exhaust fan up and increased the light to about 175w. I started the “new to me” training method as well getting some nice light down into the side shoots and lower canopy. Rings were left on during light cycle and misted with plain water and rings removed before lights out. This week I also dropped the tower fan to the floor and brought the clip fan down a foot above the canopy and am running on the same schedule as the humidifier. Which is set to be on 20min before lights on and off 10 min after lights out. Thanks for stopping by and happy growing!!! 🌞

Start of week 8 and the plants are crowning all over the place, except for the sativa dominate pheno. All plants will get water only for week 8 and 9 , looks like they will be ready for harvest at 9 1/2 weeks. Pheno number 2 looks to be the only one fastest to mature. So far the gavita pro 1700e is out performing 1000 watt hps hands down had to plug in the hps on days when outdoor temps is in the mid 80 degree just to get grow room temps to hit 83 to 84 degrees so co2 gets used more efficiently. Looks like the gravitas will crush it in dry weight too.

WEEK 16 - (06/13/2021 - 06/19/2021) Week 8, Day 50 - FLOWER: 06/13/2021 After inspecting the trichome development for the last 7-10 days or so, I’ve decided that today would be the ideal time to begin flushing. The American Pie #1 does not look like it’s ready to begin flushing quite yet, as she appears to be about a week behind in maturity. Despite that, I’ll still begin flushing her today too. Recycled water: 70ppm, 69℉ + pH Up: 7ml Mixture: 95ppm, 6.4 pH, 69℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 895/800, 6.1 pH AP#1 - 529/434, 6.5 pH AP#2 - 365/270, 6.7 pH GC#1 - 624/529, 6.3 pH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 8, Day 51 - FLOWER: 06/14/2021 Did a trichome check on the plants today. Spent more time with the Jelly Banana to better determine her maturity level. She actually looks like she is ready to harvest today. I’d say trichomes are 75-80% milky, with an amber trichome here and there. I’m going to try and push her through at least one more low-ppm watering and test the runoff. If I start seeing more amber trichome development, I will cut her down. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 8, Day 54 - FLOWER: 06/17/2021 Recycled water (8 gallons): 69ppm, 5.8 pH, 70℉ + HydroGuard: 8ml + pH Up: 3ml Mixture: 82ppm, 6.0 pH, 70℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 688/606, 6.5 pH GC#1 - 602/520, 6.5 pH AP#2 - 633/551, 6.9 pH AP#1 - 685/603, 6.5 pH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [SUMMARY] I expect this to be my last full week of flower. All the girls are looking ripe for the chopping. The aroma that bursts out of the tent when I unzip it every time is heavenly. American Pie #1 is still about a week behind in maturity, but she will get cut down with the other plants regardless. Jelly Bananen started to turn a lime green color so she'll probably get chopped and hung up in the next few days when my second tent arrives (4x2 AC Infinity). That wraps up this week! See you ladies and gentleman in the next entry. 🙏

07/10 Hey guys, how you doing ? Flushed the plants with 2l of water per plant, they responded very well and are very happy. First pistils showing up, thats a nice sign. Both the Amnesia plants are still in veg but definitely noticed stretching. As soon as they dry out im gonna give them some nuts, probably half the recommended dosage.
