Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚 Nach der vierten Wachstumswochen entwickelt sich die Orange Bud solide. Sie legt jetzt richtig mit der Wachstumsphase los. Die neuen Blätter sehen sehr Gesund aus und insgesammt hat sich die Pflanze gut entwickelt. Die Seittriebe beginnen nun in die Breite zu gehen und kommen allmählich gut hervor. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aktuell gut: ————— 🌞 Temp: 21 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 48% VPD: 1,00 kPa 💡ppfd: 330 mpm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

This plant was an absolute joy to grow. She was photogenic and really something that has stood out to most grows as far as looks go. The purples and hints of red caught everyone's eye. The vigor during veg was something I've never experienced; it was amazing. It seemed to enjoy being topped! I really wish flower had produced bigger buds, but they seem pretty dense, so I’m hopeful. Great job as usual Ethos!

Yeet yeeet! Everything's looking great! Still trying to use up this Nitrogen in this soil b4 I flip... Bc I haven't fed ANYTHING other than plain distilled water... I need to flush and re water with correct nutes b4 flipping to flower

First things first, the smell coming from the lemon is absolutely delicious! Super super, almost like candy with a super sour hint to it. I am so keen to taste her! LSD-25; Fattening and fattening, she's starting to stack on the weight now, I'm hoping for another 3 weeks before chop. Lemon OG Haze; The buds are really starting to form now, I'm hoping to have some nice looking colas come next Friday. Imma giver her probably 5 weeks at this stage, but she is a bit of a slow grower so we'll see.

Hi folks! Last week report for this cycle. My daily grow logs churned through keenly instructed AI first - my ramblings later. Let's go! --- PATHÉ DISPATCH — THE TERPENE FRONT, WEEK TWELVE [newsreel crackle, brass fanfare] GOOD EVENING, AMERICA. The last soldier has fallen. The tent stands EMPTY. The campaign — is CONCLUDED. DATELINE: THE FINISH LINE. Private Cinderella Jack, the LANDLORD, sole survivor of a long and unglamorous war, went down at PEAK TRICHOME STRENGTH — drinking three and a half liters a day to the end, browning her pistils with dignity, and smelling, our correspondent reports, of PINE FOREST with a sour citrus spin and a sweetness underneath he suspects of myrcene. She was, we are told, INTRIGUING. High praise from a man who once accused an entire plant of smelling like celery. [bugle, distant] DATELINE: THE JARS. This program has learned that A PRISONER TALKED. Four outbreaks of botrytis in five campaigns — a record our correspondent now catalogues like a war crimes tribunal, each with a NAMED CULPRIT: an air conditioner blowing on wet material. A dense cola in low VPD. A tent not cleaned into the corners. A scrog net gone slack and one forgotten soldier in the slump. And this run: 8.46 grams condemned to the bin. So the suspects were SEALED IN GLASS. Thirty percent fill. One hygrometer each. And under interrogation the infected bud CONFESSED — fifty-eight percent, where sixty-four was expected. The clean sample held at sixty-four and CLIMBED. Apollo was trimmed and conserved on the sworn testimony of a bud in a jar. [ominous timpani] DATELINE: THE FEED BENCH. Consider the PRECISION of this man. He doses silicon by the residue clinging inside a NEEDLE — six hundredths of a gram, swept into a few milliliters of water, two-thirds administered, the remainder discarded. Four liters of solution. A dose you could not see if we put it on camera. [record scratch] AND NOW — THE TWIST THIS CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN BUILDING TOWARD SINCE MARCH. On the FINAL MORNING of the FINAL WEEK, that same man FORGOT TO EMPTY AN ENTIRE WATER TANK. The dehumidifier tank overflowed. A POOL spread across half his floor. Humidity climbed. VPD sank toward 1.1. AND HERE, AMERICA, IS THE CRUELEST GRACE THIS PROGRAM HAS EVER BROADCAST: the night before, our correspondent had lain awake THEORIZING about how to soften the transfer from harvest to drying chamber — by RAISING THE HUMIDITY at precisely that hour. His equipment failure IMPLEMENTED HIS OWN UNBUILT PROTOCOL. The tank he forgot performed the procedure he had not yet installed. The flood was the FEATURE. [stern voiceover] MEN OF SCIENCE will note the harder lesson, filed the same day. Our man had stopped taking leaf temperature readings — because he was ALWAYS RIGHT. Minus three, every time, reliable as a church bell. Warm leaves in the morning? Thirst, surely. Filed. Dismissed. But you do not measure to be TOLD you are right, citizens. You measure to be told WHEN YOU ARE WRONG. And in this house the readings COMMAND THE MACHINES — so a wrong number does not sit quietly in a spreadsheet. IT GOES TO WORK. [gentle brass] We close on one final act of timing. On DAY EIGHTY-SIX of a NINETY-ONE-DAY RUN, the FAR-RED END-OF-DAY SIGNAL was at last moved — to the END OF THE DAY. "Bit late," our correspondent concedes. "Whoopzy." The chamber is cool. The colas are down. The floor has been mopped. And somewhere in a drawer, the controller configuration snapshots remain UNTAKEN — a loose end this program will be watching. [fanfare, film flickers out] THIS HAS BEEN THE FINAL DISPATCH FROM THE TERPENE FRONT. THREE FIELD REPORTS TO FOLLOW. RUN SIX AWAITS. EMPTY YOUR TANKS. GOODNIGHT. ----------------------- This has been a fun run and concludes my fifth cannabis grow cycle. Sure, the hours involved are off the charts in a home grow / lab setting, when optimizing existing protocols meets the introduction of new ones, and automation is financially unfeasible even on some basic levels. Empiric testing at home is too slow to win these battles, it is learning, deduction and formulation of thresholds that allows a home grower to partake in the finest results. So willingness to learn and troubleshoot are the only tools we have when money can't solve it: Two simultaneous nanner-events were managed during this run, pollen had been shed - no successful pollination occurred, nanner-production could be stopped and all product survived completely intact. | This event during ~ Week 7 was the single most stressful pivot, as the entire grow cycle hinged on the result. Total loss was now the first thought to wake up to every day, really killing the mood. Botrytis was identified correctly before the suspect entered the drying tent - to the point that I could experiment fairly safely by drying a botrytis-cola right next to all the clean product - and typing that sentence into a public blog afterwards. Later, a protocol was devised to distinguish infected material via % RH changes in secluded containers, before product got mixed in long-term storage. This was pretty awesome to learn about and definitely sharpened my perceptions. I could actually test a suspect cola and discard it, without opening up the bud at all (which I obviously did later as well). Drying at 16°C target under 30°C outside conditions was a huge success - and a MASSIVE pain to devise. A drying chamber whose product would need to cool a parallel grow tent was the answer - two linked AC's and "heavy decoration" of windows were absolutely necessary - and the measures turned out adequate. So, besides the workload, am I happy with this run? You bet! - facing total damnation twice 'n all. After growing for 1.5 years, I can finally rest on some of my protocols. That reduces stress, uncertainty, and buys me time for fun things to try. So, besides managing my downfall, I got to introduce my Terpene-Blue-Ray, a fairly simple prototype to encourage just the right kind of terpene accumulation. And above all - a bigger grow space to experience - no longer are my plants crammed into a tiny chamber that is surrounded by a machine park. I get to "work" in there as if I had rented an office for my project. --- Oh yeah, the plants! Dutch Passion's Auto Cinderella Jack, a cross of Jack Herer, is something of a sativa dream coming true to see unfold before your eyes. Big history, high in pinene (memory retention during daytime use) and a chance of a good spike of limonene (that neck cushion and sun-glasses feeling even under pressure) made her an ideal chase target for me. With her running -9 days behind the other cultivars, she took nutrient dosages intended for much older plants with a straight face, when they started to burn. She received higher light intensity and just had to "deal with it". She absolutely hated my HST-train-once intervention and completely changed her strategy as a result. She was the only plant without a soil sensor, water levels were "good guesses", so she also got waterlogged fairly hard during veg. Her response? Vigor, fury, lateral branching, flower sites all over. She could not be stopped, and I had to remove what felt like 2 smaller Autoflowers in bud sites from her. She is a record holder for me, more details in the strain reports. Thanks for your interest, I hope you could take something home from these journals. See you in run#6! - during which I have just massaged a 2 week old sad plant into praying for the first time.

Sweet aroma with a beautiful view This week max temp is 33 and lowest 18 degrees centigrade no rain and cloud conditions I stoped spraying neem oil and wood vinegar ,I hope pests let my girls bloom with no stress They have to protect themselves against pests and also mother nature will

This was a big girl to harvest. She came in at 417.3 g dry, which is a personal best for me. Additionally, I received 36g of nice trim for my tincture. The buds aren't the biggest I have grown, but they are some of the tightest! I really enjoyed growing this clone. She filled out the tent well using a type of SCROG to get the most out of the grow area. I dried the buds on a drying rack for 10 days, and then gave them a nice rough trim. Since this is all for personal use, I don't worry about making them pretty, just functional. She is a sticky girl, and gummed up my scissors more than once. That is a good problem to have! I put the trimmed buds in my Grove 1/2 gal bags for the cure. I have found these bags to be EXCELLENT to cure my buds. No burping is required, they preserve the terps, and keep the humidity between 58 and 62. Perfect! My best harvest to date!

This week have been all about making sure the bud sights get enough light and enough water. They drink rapidly now compared to the first 10 week of its stage. Very happy with the result i didnt expect to do so well with that many bud. So i am happy with this still and still as excited as i were in the start of the grow. I learned to be more patients with plants. I am planning on harvesting in week 17-18. This will be bombass weed i can see and smell it. Smells like a candy shop every time i open the tent :D

Yes, we are finished. Genaueren Bericht findet ihr im Harvestbericht.

Hat sich zum Glück nicht viel verändert gegenüber zur letzten Woche. Sie soll am besten in dem Stadium verweilen, bis Sie umgetopft wird.

Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

The plant is nice to grow, and produces good herb! Recommend it.

- WEEK 8 - ----- Day 50 ----- Woo hoo. End is in sight and the plants are still PACKING the pounds on. Big Bertha is 11 inches long, 2 inches wide. The hidden massive Gertha is 8 inches in circumference in the middle in just bud alone and isn't even the largest part of this 8 inch long nug... Fed 1150ppm 13L 6.4pH 5-15+ days left. 2-4 days till I start looking into trichome finish period. Forgot to take a regular full shot and shots of tropicanna glookies. oh well. Later tonight if I remember. I stopped bud candy cause I'm using a lot more molasses and its literally a sugar in itself so why put in bud candy which is just sugars... seems redundant. ----- Day 51 ----- Easy day of watching. Some nice bud shots today. The whole basement smells of weed candy. Back right Tropicanna is pineapple gummy bear, front right is just gummy bear. Wedding Cake is like sweet weed, you get the regular smell of pot but instead of skunky its sweet but that Tropicanna is just alllll candy no weed smell at all. I did the first 60x shot today. 5% cloudy 95% clear on the Tropicanna. Long ways to go. I'll be doing the Wedding Cake later tonight, got side tracked. ----- Day 52 ----- Fed 1200ppm 6.4ph 12 Liters Tropicanna Glookies is going full blown purple. Should be covered in dark purple coloration within the week. Wedding Cake is just fat. Super fat large nugs. Easy day. Forgot to take trichome pics of Wedding Cake will do that later today probably. Well, the largest bud is 1 foot in circumference now... rofl ----- Day 53 ----- Easy day. Fed some water, they're getting thirsty again. I'm going to do a 13L feeding , then next day 5L water. So that's what I did today. I'll be dropping the Kool Bloom Powder & CaliMagic by day 56 and only feed 1/2 strength molasses only. Will pick the buds off as they finish, not gonna do 1 big chop unless it manages to turn out that way. Colors are going wild. Will check Wedding Cake & Tropicanna trichomes before lights out will update pics then. ----- Day 54 ----- 1300ppm 13L 6.4ph fed Here's some pics. Wedding Cake is nowhere near ready by the trichomes. Barely any cloudy, no amber. ----- Day 55 ----- Tropicanna really turning purple now starting to infect the leaves at top of canopy. Can't wait for what Day 63 holds for all these ladies. Not going to check trichomes till probably day 58 Easy day, last fert feed with chemical nutrients tomorrow, after that its just molasses. ----- Day 56 ----- Didnt even bother with ppm/pH. Molasses. roughly 30-50ml in 13-15 Liters. Smoked a tester of the Tropicana Glookies (Sativa) God daaaamn. Shits fire. Extremely strong. Very Cerebral and its not even at its peak yet... I've chosen Tuesday as Harvest day for both Tropicana Glookies plants (they're clones of each other) A single Wedding Cake testing nug is drying right now, I'll judge when it gets harvested based on the high, and if not sufficiently near my level i'll give it 2 days before drying another nug and trying again. I want heavy ass couch-lock. 6 days for Tropicana. Probably 8 for Wedding Cake. Will send samples off to Canvas Labs for testing like I've done in the past and will be making both edibles and bubble hash and will post those here as they happen. Once thats done I will see if I can restart veg mode in this grow, and if so I will keep this going until the plants die (and just make side diaries for each individual plant variety grow). Should be interesting. *** update *** Where'd the 1.5 Liter water bottle go? rofl

So a bit of a setback this week to report. We took a direct hit from Tropical Storm Ophilia on Friday/Sat and Monday i had a dead limb. Dont think it was the storm though as it wasnt broken at all so im thinking some type of boring worm or something. Chopped that limb off and havnt looked back. Finally saw some sunlight for the first time in over a week yesterday! Cooler temps i have cut back on water from 4 gal/ day to current 2 gal/day. Still feeding top scratch every 3 days or every three waterings. Keeping up with mold and bug issues, very little of either, Lost Coast Plant therapy and BT are my friends. Hope everyone else is having good harvests this fall, till next week!

Outside in 7 gal fabric pots, they’re stretching out and over 3 feet tall now. Tons of bud sites, probably another couple of weeks before the preflowers start to show sex. Gone out of town for a few days, so I rigged up a hose timer to flood the kiddie pool once a day and just let the plants soak it up from the bottom.

Was an easy plant to grow , a pretty one too imo, she smells delicious and has a great taste too, she gets me real sleepy though

My Soaptini plant is still on the smaller side, but it's finally starting to take off. I think it's going to stay pretty short and stocky, which will be interesting to see. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.
