Semana de recuperación , sin estres. La nº3 pero si que sufrió un par de accidentes , uno pasó al cortar el apical que sin querer corté una de las ramitas que estaban creciendo y luego se partió una de las ramas al poner los dobladores , no me di cuenta hasta pasados dos dias . Terminé cortando esa rama y a seguir.

Que hay familia, vamos con la quinta semana de floración de estas Runtz de Zamnesia y empezamos con riegos intercalados cada 48 horas controlando siempre el Ph, que ahora mismo lo dejamos en 6.5 . Temperatura y humedad dentro de los parámetros correctos. Seleccioné de las 5 plantas, 3 , que creo que son los mejores ejemplares que por el momento están creciendo bien y tener tienen un buen color, se ven bien sanas, todo normal hasta ahora, van cogiendo forma y están produciendo una tricomada bastante seria, están increíbles. Vamos viendo cómo progresan. Hasta aquí todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Tito's Living Soil Blueprint: Why You Can’t Treat Organics Like a Synthetic Hydro System. When transitioning from synthetic hydroponics to true organic cultivation, many growers bring their old habits with them. It is a common pitfall: pulling out pH pens, measuring runoff, and liquid-feeding heavy doses of organic nutrients as if the medium were sterile coco or rockwool. But living soil operates on an entirely different set of rules. To achieve the true potential of an organic garden, we must stop treating the soil as a mere holding tank for liquid chemicals and start viewing it as a self-sustaining biological engine. This will be a breakdown of why treating organic soil like a synthetic system fails, and how to shift ones methodology to unlock the true power of the soil food web. Pouring massive amounts of raw elements into a living system all at once is the biological equivalent of force-feeding a newborn a massive takeout meal and expecting them to digest it instantly. In an optimal system, soil should never be breaking down more than roughly 5% of its total composition as organic matter at any given time. The math is simple: more intense chemical and biological reactions equal more physical heat. If the root zone temperature creeps even remotely over 72°F, oxygen hypoxia sets in, drastically reducing plant growth. Organic rhizospheres and biological nutrient delivery require significantly more oxygen to maintain efficient parameters for growth—a reality that is drastically different from a pure synthetic approach where a complex rhizosphere is virtually non-existent. The fundamental blueprint of organic growing relies on Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). The goal is to build a medium with so much CEC that it can store massive amounts of excess nutrients safely. This provides the necessary buffering capacity to handle large biological reactions, a process typically managed in the time period between grows. Once the soil is fully loaded and stabilized, the rhizosphere maintains its own pH balance, allowing the plant to dynamically feed itself directly from its massive, built-in storage of CEC. Treating Living Soil Like Coco creates a runoff-runaway trap. Applying a massive overdose of raw organic materials releases too many nutrients at once, leading to completely uncontrolled pH skewing. Running a synthetic-style management setup while simultaneously dumping organic inputs into the container does not make it an "organic" grow. Trying to judge a metric like pH after letting it run completely out of control with multiple simultaneous amendments is an uphill battle. Each input possesses unique chemical properties that drastically alter atomic decay chains and, consequently, pH. Without an adequate structural buffer, the medium experiences unpredictable swings. Put simply, the sheer volume of inputs rapidly outpaces the soil's built-in buffering capacity. Constantly reading the pH and Electrical Conductivity (EC) of input and output water in an organic soil is not true organic cultivation; it is just a synthetic indoor environment layout utilizing organic ingredients. This presents a distinct misunderstanding of how these two opposing approaches need to be separated. One cannot simply measure EC and pH to heavy runoff in a soil designed to store cations and expect to keep accurate tabs. Even when using 100% organic certified ingredients, liquid feeds, and compost teas, the underlying methodology matters most. Measuring runoff pH and EC treats an organic soil system like a synthetic coco or rockwool grow. In a high-CEC organic soil, a runoff reading is highly inaccurate. A soaring runoff reading of 8.0 is often just the water physically washing past raw amendments on its way out of the pot. It does not mean the actual root interface is locked out; it simply indicates that the soil ran out of immediate storage capacity for those heavy inputs. Synthetic growing relies entirely on direct nutrient delivery. Chemical salts are poured over the root system, the plant absorbs what it needs through basic osmotic pressure, and the excess is flushed away. True organic growing, however, relies on biological cycling. An organic soil should never be watered to heavy runoff, because doing so actively washes away the beneficial microbes, soluble humic acids, and organic buffers that the soil life works so hard to create to protect the root zone. Applying inputs as an immediate, massive overload of raw elements causes chaotic chemical spikes. Dumping heavy amendments directly into a big pot mid-grow triggers unpredictable reactions. In a true living soil system, amendments are added in tiny, balanced amounts long before the plant ever meets the dirt. This deliberate timeline allows the soil’s Cation Exchange Capacity to naturally "park" and buffer those nutrients. When inputs outpace the soil's ability to buffer them, the system breaks down, and the runoff pH screams. When faced with a fluctuating pH meter, a common reactive impulse is to throw agricultural sulfur at the problem. This is a classic example of trying to react mechanically to a digital number rather than letting the soil chemistry work. Elemental sulfur does not lower pH on contact. Soil microbes must first digest it and convert it into sulfuric acid. Because this biological process takes weeks or even months, adding it mid-problem yields no immediate change. This leads to the temptation to add even more. Weeks down the line, the cumulative sulfur will finally convert, causing the pH to crash violently and fry the root system. As a general rule, avoid using sulfur as a corrective knee-jerk reaction. If it is used at all, it should be applied strictly 2 to 3 weeks prior to flower as a precise, one-off addition to assist with Isopentenyl pyrophosphate synthesis. If a soil matrix is truly experiencing a severe alkaline lockout at a pH of 8.0, the new leaves at the very top of the plant will tell you directly by turning bright yellow while the veins stay dark green—the classic signature of alkaline drift and iron chlorosis. The solution is simple: put the pH meter away. Stop watering to heavy runoff. Only apply enough water to evenly moisten the soil matrix, and let natural inputs do their job to feed the microbes and naturally buffer the root zone. Electrical Conductivity (EC) dictates plant water and nutrient availability by altering the soil solution's osmotic potential. This potential controls whether a plant can efficiently pull water into its roots or if it will actually lose water to the surrounding soil. If a grower cannot control the rate of what is going in (the rate of nutrient release) and cannot control the rate of what is going out (the plant's dynamic growth), the immediate medium's EC deviates. When EC deviates, osmotic potential goes with it, disrupting bulk flow and the entire vascular transport system of the plant. Synthetic nutrient delivery relies on precise input measurements and an incredibly tight management of the wet-dry cycle to prevent the constant, violent spiking of EC caused by excess moisture loss. Reducing EC to a mere measurement of "food in and food out" oversimplifies its true function. It acts as a balance of electrical conductance that must be maintained to regulate the flow of water. Failing to acknowledge this is a severe disservice to the beauty and potential of a true rhizophagy cycle in all its respiratory glory. True organic cultivation does not actually begin until biological cycling is actively linked to hydrogen exudation from the roots. The vast majority of modern cultivation advice leaves growers completely in the dark regarding these biological mechanics. This is a product of market capitalism rather than basic chemistry. There are significantly lower profit margins for hydroponic companies when a grower uses ten times fewer mass consumables and relies on little more than water from seed to harvest. By shifting focus away from "feeding the straw" and moving it toward nurturing the near-infinite soil food web, the plant regains absolute autonomy over its own rhizophagy cycle. It begins regulating its own nutrient intake dynamically, without a single digital EC pen in sight. This allows the grower to focus entirely on optimizing the macro-environment rather than micromanaging the root zone. The cultivation medium can be reused indefinitely so long as you can prevent a buildup of carbon and nitrogen in the soil; cover that in a later week. To achieve a truly organic system that unlocks this rhizophagy cycle, the cultivation approach must shift entirely from feeding the plant directly to feeding the soil microbiome. Because the modern gardening community is heavily guided by synthetic methodologies, the subtle nuances and variations of this biological process are rarely highlighted. The hydroponic industry is fundamentally built on a recurring revenue model of bottled minerals, flush agents, and sterile mediums. Conversely, a self-sustaining living soil system requires minimal external inputs after its initial build. This shifts the grower's role from a rigid chemical manager to a biological custodian. Because managing biology requires observing subtle environmental factors—like consistent soil moisture, oxygenation, and temperature—rather than reading a digital screen, commercial entities scaled for automated, synthetic delivery often dismiss it as unpredictable. When the soil food web is fully unlocked, the plant takes the driver's seat, operating with a level of systemic efficiency that synthetic nutrient lines simply cannot replicate. In the commercial cultivation landscape, corporate structures are legally bound to protect shareholder interests and recurring profit margins, which often prioritize the sale of bottled consumables over the promotion of self-sustaining agricultural practices. Under modern industrial cultivation models, biology is too often treated as secondary to business. By stepping away from the meters, understanding Cation Exchange Capacity, and feeding the microbiome instead of the roots, you break free from the chemical cycle—allowing nature to do what it has perfected over millions of years.

This baby actually snuck up on me being the first of 4 plants on my patio to be ready for harvest using trichomes as my guide. It took me roughly 4 hours to take the entire plant down and wash it and get her ready for drying. A bit longer than I expected since there's a fair bit of space between the nodes and it was fairly easy to pluck fan leaves. Been very hot and dry lately... although we are expecting our first precipitation since spring on Monday so it's not a bad time to get some harvesting out of the way. It will be a few days before this stuff is dry enough to process further, but I plan to give the dry trimmer another go. After further processing we can add in some weights. September 19 > I'm surprised that it's taken this long for this baby to dry to this point - but it's been a weird week with two bouts of precipitation that we don't normally see. Slow is better - but I have a load of herb stacked up behind this. Fortunately... what we call indian summer conditions are about to prevail drying things out further. I'm surprised how tasty my initial tastes of this strain came in... normally I wouldn't even consider tasting something this young, but after initial tests I'm sure I'm a gonna like this stuff. I had to de-bud the C&C completely to make room for Northern Lights which needs to come down tomorrow... probably followed another half week by Amnesia #2, and then there is Purple Berry Kush bringing up the rear guard. Gonna be a busy next couple weeks. Started trimming on September 23 and finished the next day. Final bud weight comes in at 269 grams for one plant (9.5 ounces). The bud size is not tremendous but the yield was substantial and will keep me and my friends rolling in CBD until next summer. I would have to say this stuff did not dry as fast as I'm used to for herb that I've washed after harvest. Initial dry seems to be around 50%. Lower than I like but I was trying to dry the herb out for use with the Dry Trimmer... but I'd have to say the trimmer still isn't performing up to expectations. I used the maximum number of rotations/spins and really tried to beat the herb up but she won the fight. I still spent somewhere between 5-6 hours trimming by hand after that fight. I couldn't really wait any longer for the C&C to dry further because I have other trees coming in behind her and I need the space. The amount of shake/trim generated using the Trim Bag was about 65 grams - the amount from my hand trimming was 3x that easy. Off to wrestle with Northern Lights... Amnesia 7 comes down at dawn. Busy time of year... but what would you rather be doing...? ✊ 😬

Started clones from a previous plant planned to be a mother.(GG#4) Clones are to replace the seedlings that didn't make it. I planned for 15 total so I added extra clones just in case.

Gave the photos a haircut today. Removed some fan leaves and lower branches that wouldn't amount to much. Gave the branches to my horse because he loves them! Tried enticing the ducks with fan leaves but they weren't having any of it. They prefer lettuce, not "The Devil's Lettuce"😂 I added in a little 5-1-1 fish fertilizer to my feeding regimen as well. Still picking off inchworms. And as you can see I made it to the hardware store and put up this baby almost completely by myself. I only asked my husband to hold the center roof panel support while I screwed it in. Couldn't have been better timing since hurricane Dorian came through yesterday and we had plenty of rain. Of course it didn't fully protect them but the majority of the rain hit the roof. And then it got down to 49 F last night. It's really Fall now! The big girl (I'm calling her Gen 2, let's see who puts that together) is starting to get frosty. Rogue One is still a little behind but I'm not worried. All in good time, all in good time...

5.23 F60 5.27 F65 - Everything has been going well this week. The plants went through a feed cycle that should carry them through flower no problemo. Started with the AACT Tea, then a bokashi drench with Fish Shit from Fishheadfarms and plain water from here on out. They are drinking quite a bit. 1.5-2 gallons a plant every 3ish days. The terps in my tents smell out of this world. The ScrOG and 3x3 are like a candy store. Passion Berry has mango/guava citrus terps while Deadstar v2 has strawberry watermelon terps. The 4x5 is much more varied, but in general the sweet pink dominates with it's grape candy terps and the dread bread cuts through with it stanky gassy lemon while the prayer pupil smells like moth balls and a bit of GMO. Very lucky to get to experience this much variety. 5.29 F67

At this point I’m giving the plant plain water I dropped the temperatures and the lights just waiting for runoff to be acceptable and then it’s time to chop
