Woche 17 | Blütewoche 1 – Der Stretch ist eröffnet! Mit dem Wechsel auf 12/12 ist die Laughing Buddha sofort in den Stretch gestartet und hat keine Zeit verschwendet. Innerhalb der ersten Blütewoche legte sie bereits 16 cm an Höhe zu. Ehrlich gesagt hätte ich mit einem so schnellen Start nicht gerechnet. Das dritte SCROG-Netz hängt inzwischen an seinem Platz und war genau zur richtigen Zeit bereit. Aktuell fehlen den meisten Spitzen nur noch etwa 5–10 cm, bis sie das Netz erreichen. Genau so hatte ich mir den Ablauf vorgestellt. Diese Woche habe ich außerdem mein Bewässerungskonzept komplett umgestellt. Statt alle paar Tage große Mengen Wasser zu geben, bekommt die Buddha jetzt täglich etwa 5 Liter. Der Hintergrund ist einfach: Ich möchte den lebenden Bio-Boden möglichst konstant leicht feucht halten, damit die Mikroorganismen dauerhaft arbeiten können und die Nährstoffe kontinuierlich verfügbar bleiben. Bisher gefällt mir das Ergebnis richtig gut. Besonders spannend sind dabei meine Bodensensoren. Einer der beiden Sensoren lag über Wochen selbst nach einer Gabe von 10 Litern meist nur bei 8–11 %. Seit der Umstellung auf kleinere, häufigere Wassergaben reagiert dieser Bereich plötzlich deutlich stärker und erreicht nach dem Gießen inzwischen Werte von fast 50 %. Für mich ist das ein klares Zeichen, dass der komplette 40-Liter-Wurzelballen mittlerweile aktiv arbeitet und das Wasser gleichmäßiger verteilt wird. Genau deshalb macht es so viel Spaß, diese Sensoren über längere Zeit zu beobachten – man erkennt Entwicklungen, die man von außen niemals sehen würde. Passend dazu steigt jetzt auch der Wasserverbrauch spürbar an. Mit Beginn des Stretchs zieht die Pflanze täglich deutlich mehr Wasser aus dem Substrat. Die Sensorverläufe werden von Tag zu Tag steiler, gleichzeitig bleiben die Kurven aber schön gleichmäßig. Genau dieses Verhalten hatte ich mir von der neuen Gießstrategie erhofft. Auch das Klima läuft momentan richtig stabil. Die Lampe wird aktuell nicht über Prozentwerte, sondern über den Abstand zum Blätterdach gesteuert. Mit rund 720 PPFD, etwa 24 °C und einem VPD um 1,4 kPa fühlt sich die Buddha offensichtlich sehr wohl. Den PPFD-Sensor passe ich alle paar Tage an die Höhe der obersten Triebe an, damit die Lichtintensität während des Stretchs möglichst konstant bleibt. Diese Methode gefällt mir inzwischen deutlich besser als eine reine Leistungssteuerung. Der Stamm entwickelt sich inzwischen zu einem echten Monster. Erst mit einem Feuerzeug oder meiner kleinen Buddha-Figur daneben wird deutlich, wie massiv das Grundgerüst geworden ist. Unter dem Blätterdach herrscht nach dem Lollipopping weiterhin viel Platz und Luft, während sich oberhalb des Netzes eine nahezu geschlossene, gleichmäßige Krone entwickelt hat. Genau das war das Ziel der langen Vegetationsphase. Mein persönliches Highlight dieser Woche ist allerdings der Zeitraffer. Die komplette erste Stretchwoche wurde aufgezeichnet und zum ersten Mal sieht man richtig, wie sich das gesamte Blätterdach Tag für Tag anhebt. Im Alltag fallen ein oder zwei Zentimeter kaum auf – im Zeitraffer wirkt es dagegen, als würde die Pflanze ständig in Bewegung sein. Genau auf diesen Moment habe ich mich seit dem Flip gefreut. Jetzt beginnt die richtig spannende Phase. Wenn die Laughing Buddha dieses Tempo beibehält, wird sie das dritte Netz schon sehr bald erreichen. Ich bin unglaublich gespannt, wie viel Stretch in den nächsten zwei Wochen noch dazukommt. Das Fundament steht jedenfalls – jetzt darf sie zeigen, was wirklich in ihr steckt.

Week 6 of flower for the Fastbuds banana purple punch and gorilla cookies. The gorilla cookies has a real strong hazy smell to it and the banana purple punch has a real fruity smell to it. The strawberry banana from Fastbuds is flowering nicely a couple weeks behind.

Hey! This time the start turned out to be successful, which I am very pleased with. In this cycle I will have two plants - CBD Crack in the neighborhood, I already had a report on this strain, so this time all the attention is on Hulk 💪😍 By the end of the week, I planted mycorrhiza, this time of our Ukrainian production, and will look at the result. Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦 Stay connected and take care of yourself! 🙏

They're fattening up very well. Plenty of resin too. It's becoming more yellowish, lacking resources. The soil's nutrients are dwindling, and so is the flowering. 12/12 from seed Watering with filtered tap water every 2/3 days, when the pot is lighter, 500-1000ml Soil: peat, coconut powder, perlite, carbonized rice husk, sheep manure and worm humus. essential mineral mix, vegetable flours, vegetable cakes, biochar, bokashi EM1 and other organic inputs, Algae ascophyllum nodosum small pots 3,7liters // 1gallon light: lm301h-evo 120watts

Les plantes sont totalement givré,une forte odeur se dégage de la tente je ne serais dire ce que c'est. Une tige c'est brisé sous l'effet de la chaleur par conséquent changement d'ambiance pour ces dames. - cette semaine j'ai enlevé les petites têtes qui n'allait pas gonflée pour permettre à la plante de rédiger l'énergie vers les colas principaux. Pour finir une des gorilla sherbet a des teintes rougeâtre violet a voir.

Hello, my green connoisseur! The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived—the Harvest Report for our botanical queen, Jealousy, in the Power Buds competition. This has been a journey filled with anticipation, and now, we stand on the shores of botanical triumph. Jealousy, in her final act, bestowed upon us a generous yield of 195 grams of dry bud. It's like a cornucopia of green abundance, a testament to the meticulous care and strategic decisions made throughout this green saga. Each nugget is a jewel, a culmination of weeks of growth, love, and dedication. But the story doesn't end there. Jealousy, in her love for the trim bin, gifted us a beautiful golden pollen. This precious powder, transformed into ash via the French Cannoli style. Also gave me a Charas/Finger Ash ball. It's like capturing the essence of the plant in a tangible form—a botanical relic that encapsulates the spirit of our green empress. Now, let's talk about the auditory symphony that accompanied the harvest. The sound, reminiscent of a tree making timber, is like nature's applause for the bountiful harvest. It's the soundtrack to a successful cultivation venture, a melody that resonates through the grow room, echoing the grand finale of this green symphony. The drying process, carried out over two weeks with a temperature of 17°C and humidity at 58%, is like the slow and methodical crafting of a fine wine. Each day, the buds undergo a transformative journey, evolving from freshly harvested flowers to dried and cured masterpieces. And now, the pièce de résistance—the preservation of terps with the Grove Bag featuring Terploc technology. It's like locking the aromatic essence of Jealousy in a time capsule, ensuring that every toke carries the full spectrum of flavors and aromas. The anticipation for the smoke report is palpable, as the strawberry candy profile promises an exquisite sensory experience. Reflecting on this entire journey, from germination to harvest, it's like turning the pages of a botanical epic. The decisions, the challenges, and the moments of sheer joy have shaped the destiny of our green empress. It's a narrative that will be retold, shared, and cherished in the annals of our horticultural adventures. As we conclude this harvest report, let's extend our heartfelt thanks and shout-outs to Zamnesia, Plagron, Grow Diaries, and the vibrant community. Your support and contributions have been the guiding lights on this extraordinary green expedition. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your own harvests be as abundant, flavorful, and joyous as this one. Here's to the culmination of our shared green dreams, the thrill of the harvest, and the anticipation of what lies ahead. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only.

Day 1- 7 Eingesät mit etwas Wasser, danach ab ins Zelt. Dies ist mein 3. Grow, aber mein erster Indoor. Nach 3 Tagen sind die Planzen aus der Erde gestochen. Wenige Tage später fingen die kleinen ein wenig an zu Spargeln, weshalb ich etwas Erde nachgegeben und die Lichtstärke intensiviert habe. Mittlerweile sehen die Pflanzen recht gut aus. Die Hulkberry entwickelt derzeit einen leichten Gelbton in den ersten Blättern und deren Adern. Ich versuche ende der Woche ein wenig Biogrow Dünger zu reichen.

Okay had to start 2 purple strains one of them being LSD-25 and the other Blackberry in the second journal. I still have 2 open air pots filled to the brim with fox farm ocean forest, froggy frog, and coco choir in approximately a 2:1:1 ratio. I'm still anticipating the unreleased strains from fastbuds fingers crossed. I placed both these girls taproot down right before the Eclipse. Day 1 above ground: August 23rd. I like to stretch them early to allow for more room for watering since I like to bush them out. Stretching them early allows for a long strong stem and hopefully sets the precedent for future growth rate. Stretched them out s littlllllle too much haha forgot my light was in 50%. No harm no fail. I'll take better pics when they take off.

Looks like she is recovering just fine from that tree limb falling last week. The top shoot that was left has not reached 5 feet tall. Some of the lowers are coming through the outer cage. This week was similar with amount of rain and storms so I only gave compost tea once.

Week 8 Here came fall. End of last week plant seemed hungry, the fade wasn't progressing as supposed so I gave her two nutes round with only water round in between them. I used bottled feeding: biobizz biobloom + top max (2ml each per liter), ghe ripen (2ml per liter), solved micronutrients and calmag (not mixed, one time one the next the other, 1-0,5 ml per lt). Solution EC was about 1,4, starting with 0,3 tap water. She reacted well to the feeding in my opinion. now the fade is progressing more naturally. I did observe that the plant under the less powerful COBS in the same tent are doing better then the ones under the sp250 wich has a higher par output, so I raised the light to 45-50cm from canopy. This had a positive effect on the plants imho. I'll stay a little bit further from the beginning in my next grow. I took a sample under the microscope to take some tricho pictures, they look beautifully clouded but the buds still has to ripen some 50% more. Based on that I think we are arriving to an end in 10-15 days max. Happy bottanic guys

The plant is drinking over 3 gallons of water every day. I’ve lowered the PPM’s to 600. Everything seems to be ok now. I will try to change the reservoir water every 5 days from now on. She started to smell amazing! Very lemony 🍋 P.S. Lowerd the TDS to 550 PPM on day 46. Also just realized that I stressed my plan with to much light. I moved the light at 13” and dimmed to 95% ... I will continue to dim it 2% every day...

What a great week it’s been!today is day 65 from seed!! One of the Forbiddin Runtz got it’s last feeding on Friday and will get flushed for 2 weeks and will be ready for dry and cure! The rest will still remain getting same dose of nutes the rest of this week and most likely into the next! This batch felt like it went so quick ! Hope you all enjoy an watch out for next week !

The plant on the right got chopped down the hairs were 90% dark brown while left was fully white last week when it got taken down it had only one day flush. This plant I will flush for a week and see which is better. It has decent size buds all the way to the bottom but this one growing still doesn't have as many crystals as the harvested plant which was definitely cut down way to early 😕 shame it must have forced to finish early from shock when I snapped a main branch clean off. This plant I will flush with plain filtered water for 7 days and even if it doesn't have as much crystals as the other plant, the bud size is 2x-3x the size of the plant that was cut down last week so I hope they will look a lot better size wise after they shrink when they are cut down and dried. I have also noticed some medium sized fan leads turning from green into a beautiful dark purple colour over the last 2-3 days slowly and it's spreading to other leaves the buds on this plant are also purple bits it's hard to see on here but looking sweet so far I have uploaded pic of the frost one which has been drying for a week now

Sep 6: Tropicana Cookies FF is doing great. Maybe not as much flower maturation last week as I expected but we’re just starting week 8 of flowering. So likely the end of September which is fine for the late start on this plant. Sep 7: decided on a final top dressing of malted barley and Power Bloom. Seems they need a bit more P.

I grew Tangerine Dream under HLG Rspec 240W for the whole grow except the last 2 weeks. I am very impressed by the size and density of the colas. Tangerine Dream has the biggest colas out of the 3 strain grown. The final space occupied by tangerine dream 2ftx2ft. Downside is long flowering time and heavy colas that needs support. This strain responds well to mainlining, needs lots of space and uneven height main branches will result in uneven canopy. The colas are not homogeneous. The yield was very satisfying and turned out more that I expected. Thanks for the support everybody 🙏🏽👍🏽 Keep growing
