-Was excited to see roots shoot out basket during the beginning of the week. Then some major root growth throughout the week. -Noticed some brownish coloring on roots, thought root rot or nutrient sludge? Found out, through advanced nutrients, organic nutrients will leave a brown tinge. -pH finally where it should be. Still using GH pH testing kit to measure so no exact number. Based on their chart, yellow 6.0 -Leaves look a lighter green then I'm thinking it should be. Will add a little more nutrients during next water change in couple days. -Humidity still low! Running a temporary humidifier I already had outside closet door. Brought up humidity by 15%, but still only measuring 35% at it's highest. -Started playing music for plant about 30min/day, also talk to it a few times a day. Anyone else do this? -Disappointed in sludge build up, and mild/strong fish smell during first half of the week after water change as AN claims otherwise for this nutrient. Growth looks great besides that. -Lots of growth this 2nd week, very exciting to see, both above and below deck.

10/5 Day 31. I've added a dehumidifier now that the plants are starting to show signs of pre-flower or flower. Maybe one of the expert growers can let me know. :o) 10/6 Day 32. I did some more defoliation to open up the air flow at the base of the stem (mini lollipoping). I also re-arranged the pots and lifted the air pumps so that I could have more room for training them. This should also improve air flow. I moved the rotating fan so that it is pulling air from the lower tent intake. Move the 6'' hurricane fan so that it is blowing down at the center of the tent. More LST training after giving everyone some more "elbow" room! I will allow them to recovery for a few days after the defoliation, but will keep adjusting the LST wires. - Added 1 gallon of purified H2O to each plant. No signs of any deficiencies on the leaves. Nice and Green with new nodes popping up (I think). Red - PH 5.54 TDS 703 EC 1.459 Blue - PH 5.77 TDS 735 EC 1503 Yellow - PH 5.6 TDS 693 EC 1.482 Blue (runt) is finally showing a growth spurt and has almost caught up to Red who seems to have healed from the partial stem tear. Yellow seems to still be the front runner in size and horizontal stretching. I will continue to train them until they definitely show signs of vertical growth and bud formation. At that time I will switch over their feeding to decrease N and increase P & K. SO far the GHE products are doing well, I might switch over to advanced nutrients for the next grow. Roots in all 3 pots are filling up and are still nice and white. Thankfully I am able to keep the water temp around 74-75 F. The UC Roots product is doing it's job as well. As of right now I'm not using any type of extra CO2 generator, but have watched some videos on You Tube on making a DIY. I wish there was more community involvement on questions and the need help section of this site. Also a lot of the You Tube sites that claim to cater to the "beginner grower" seem more interested in their "hip" music selection, video shots of their plants, and talking a lot of nothingness just to get viewers, verses providing quality content to really help the newbie growers. Ok off my soap box. I am really enjoying this grow and today after spending about an hour in the tent it was quite relaxing and therapeutic tending to the plants. 😊 10/7 Day 33. Rest in Peace Eddie Van Halen! Your influence in rock and roll will always be remembered! Feeding day! I am liking the 4 day schedule giving them 1/2 of the weekly recommended amounts per a consensus of growers who all say it's better to feed a little less, and make any additional increases as needed. The extra day helps to spread it out too. Also the importance of looking at the plants daily to see if there are any issues. Yellow is drinking more water that the other 2 and is still the front runner in overall growth and size. To think Yellow almost didn't make it past the seedling stage due to a "stretching bend" injury during week 1. - Amounts total in 4 gallons. UC Roots 8ml, CalMag 5ml, Micro 6ml, Gro 2ml, Bloom 6ml. These amounts are overall as the pots have 4 gallons of water in them. I adjusted to pot size in the description above. I made some small adjustments to the LST wires. All of the plants are now competing to who will become "Top Cola." I've also decided to name the plants per their growing pot color. Ruby, Bertha, Yuki. I picked Bertha as she was the runt, hopefully the name with inspire a great weigh in on dried flowers! 10/8 Day 34. Plants showing some signs of heat stress. I raised the lights up 2 inches. Now that I'm in flowering, heat and humidity reduction will get more of a focus. Tested the PH and it dropped to 5.2. I re-calibrated the pen just to make sure. Since they are starting to really drink more water I added 1/2 gallon of regular tap water that had been de-chlorinated. Checked PH 3 hours later and it is back up to 5.8. I have some PH up solution that I use for the aquarium, so will decided if I should adjust PH with watering using purified store water to lower PH and tap water to raise it since I anticipate them needing a gallon of water added every other day. Or I could just PH up the store bought water. 10/9 Day 35. Heat stress seems to be subsiding, but have noticed a few of the leaf tips are showing signs of nute burn. Overall they are looking great. I will monitor the leaf's for any additional issues. I know autoflowers like to be under feed compared to what the fertilizer companies recommend. I might look at going to a feed every 5 days using 1/2 of the recommended feeding amounts, along with seeing what the plant leaf's, water chemistry is telling me. As this is my first Cannabis grow it feels like I'm trying to "learn how to fly this particular model while I'm building it!" Anyone else feel like that on their 1st grow? 10/11 Day 37. All is growing well. Added a mixture of store water and tap to make adjustments to PH dropping. Each girl needed 1 gallon of water. Flowers are starting to grow :O) Ruby - PH 5.0 TDS 786 EC 1.651 (added PH up water to correct and an extra dose of 5ml UC Roots) Bertha - PH 5.96 TDS 858 EC 1.831 Yuki - PH 6.09 TDS 753 EC 1.725 Week 5 Lessons Learned: 1. Bought some Botanicare Silica Blast for the next grow. 2. Need to ensure the lid holes for adding water, and the air stone line is placed correctly with the water level sight guage. Yuki (Yellow) will need a new lid for the next grow. 3. More and a bit larger bore drill holes for the LST tie down points on the edges of the lids.

Mental rainbow F1 the development and the complex colours of buds forming is interesting and looks/feels dense the plant is mainly focusing energy on side branches as well as main branches bud development and thrichome are steady in development too looking forward to seeing her fatten up over next few weeks till flush

Beginning of week... Beginning of first flush week! So excited!!! I put 4mL of FloraKleen into 3L of pH'd water.. Going in: 160 PPM.. Runoff: 700 PPM.. I may run 1 more flush of FloraKleen through the medium in the AM.. Will be updating on the runoff as I go.. Just makes better sense to check runoff to me.. I know some people dont do it.. And claim its pointless.. But I think runoff tells you ALOT.. I think the runoff reading is just from what was built into the medium still.. I just like to make sure she's getting nice and flushed for a good while.. And if the trichomes arent where I want them to be at the end of the 2 week flush I will flush for another week.. But only if needed.. Anyways.. Hope these 2 weeks fly by cuz the week before this didnt at all! Lol.. Next day.. Today is day 2 of flushing.. Used FloraKleen once again.. This time the runoff came out at 640 PPM.. Gettin there lol.. Tonight I'm going to just run 3L of pH'd water and same tomorrow morning.. Will update in the AM Later that night.. Lol.. This time the runoff came out at 750 PPM.. I'm guessing its just more nutrients that were built up in there.. Jeez.. So tomorrow I am just going to flush pH'd water in the AM and in the PM.. With more updates on how that goes.. I also lowered the light down to 12 inches from the tallest colas.. According to the PPFD chart Mars Hydro has, the tall colas (but outside of the footprint) should be getting close to 800 PAR and the shorter (but in the middle of the footprint) should be getting.. Roughly around the same I suppose.. The inside branches are still about 14 - 16 inches from the light.. Wish I would have been able to keep the canopy more even.. But I went with a LST technique that helped me keep all the branches instead of removing some.. Like instead of bending the plant over (to make a "T") to where some branches should probably just be removed because they are going straight into the medium lol.. But this time I tried to bend her over a little different (to make an "X") so that all the branches wouldn't be going straight into the medium.. Idk.. something I've been trying to figure out on my own lol.. But I think I prefer the "T" because it is easier to keep each branch, and it's twin, fairly even throughout the grow.. But I'm still happy asf how this grow has gone so far.. Should have lollipopped a bit too.. But I still enjoy smoking every last bit of these ladies.. And if they are too popcorn-ish, I'll just throw them in a bubble bag with the trim.. Still gonna be happy with the outcome either way!!! Autos are fun.. But I think I still prefer to control when flowering begins.. I know a 2×2 isn't ideal for this.. But I really wanna try to ScrOG a girl in this tent! Just to give it a shot and see how much of a difference it can make in yeild.. Anyways.. Will update tomorrow with the runoff and whatnot!... NEXT day after THAT (Almost mid week)... This AM the runoff came out 444 PPM.. Since I already mixed some pH'd water, I'm gonna use it later tonight.. With an update.. Lol Later that night... Runoff is still coming out about 400 PPM.. Decided to check the pH and the runoff is coming out at 7.. The fuck!? Maybe I forgot to pH earlier this week.. Idk. Whatever lol.. Mid week.. Runoff came out at 333 PPM this morning.. Just going to go back to one watering a day till harvest now. Hope I can get it down to 200 PPM or lower for the last week at least.. But still not sure if I will be letting it go an extra week or not.. We shall see how it goes till then.. The nug I attempted to pollinate didnt take.. Guessing the pollen was too old.. Trashed it.. It was feminized pollen but wasnt the greatest genetics either.. So no loss there.. But the nug looks kinda pathetic.. The pic shows it next to its sister nug and that one still looks good.. Maybe cuz Ive been fucking with it alot.. But whatev.. Shit happens.. May still keep updating the runoff daily.. May not.. See how I feel tomorrow lol Next day.. Runoff came out at 330 PPM again this morning.. Not bad, I suppose.. Alot lower than what its been before I started using this Brita filter lol.. May use Florakleen once more at the beginning of the next week.. Then just water till harvest. Just to see if I can get it down a little more. If not, I'm sure it'll be fine. The fan blowing on the undedside of the light slipped off the pole and was chopping away at one of the colas.. Luckily none of the buds were damaged.. Trichomes definately got knocked off tho lol.. And mostly leaf damage.. This girl smells so fucking amazing.. The colors are awesome.. I don't think I can find another strain to top this one lol.. We shall see tho... Almost end of week.. Runoff came down to 280 PPM this morning.. Niceeee.. I can live with that.. As long as it's not 400+ PPM I think it should be fine.. The main top cola is showing a nice amount of cloudy.. And the very bottom 2 stems are cloudy also.. But the rest of the plant seems moslty clear but also have some cloudy/milky along with them.. I can find a few amber in spots.. Will be updating with pics tomorrow along with some trichome shots!!!... End of week.. Today's runoff came out at 260 PPM.. Niceeee.. I tried to get alot of trichome shots but I just don't have a steady enough hand.. A couple colas have some amber coming it on the very top calyxes.. Some colas are cloudy.. Almost there!!! Not sure if I am gonna take this just 1 more week or 2 more weeks.. We will see how she looks at the end of the next week... As for now.. On to the next week!!!...

Hallo und herzlich willkommen zu meinem Growbericht Outdoor 2025 mit den Sorten Power Flower Feminized, Royal Medic Feminized und Special Kush #1 Feminized, alle 3 von Royal Queen Seeds. Es ist das erste Mal, das ich Töpfe für den Outdoor grow verwende, bisher waren alle Gorilla grows und direkt in die Erde gepflanzt. Die URL der Power Flower Feminized: https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/feminisierte-hanfsamen/120-power-flower.html Die URL der Royal Medic Feminized: https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/cbd-samen/148-royal-medic.html Die URL der Special Kush #1 Feminized: https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/feminisierte-hanfsamen/138-special-kush-1.html Die Planung für den Grow ist, die Samen in easyplug Anzuchtwürfeln keimen zu lassen und danach in 0,6L und 2,2L Plastiktöpfen, dann letztlich in die neuen komplett doppellagigen ROOTIES 15 Liter Wide Version Stofftöpfe umzutopfen. Sobald die Witterung es zuläßt, sollen die Pflanzen an die frische Luft. Es ist schon eine Weile her, das der Grow losging, die Bilder sind jetzt aktuell. Tag 162: Wieder ein Hitzetag, kaum Wind. Gewitter sind angekündigt, bis jetzt gehen die im Schwarzwald und den Vogesen runter, der Rheingraben bleibt bisher trocken. Die Mädels bekommen weiterhin 3x am Tag Ihren Cocktail. Kein weiteres Höhenwachstum. Tag 164: Es hat auf angenehme 27°C "abgekühlt" und es weht ein leichter Wind. Tag 166: Hab mal Photone auf mein xiaomi geladen, das zeigt bei Wolkenlosem Himmel und praller Sonne 1600 PPFD (µmol/m²/s). Wie weit der Wert realistisch oder mit speziellen Messgeräten vergleichbar ist, kann ich nicht sagen, hab damit einfach mal einen Anhaltspunkt. Die drei Großen werden mittlerweile 4-5 mal am Tag gewässert. Heute sind es wieder 31°C, mit 22% Luftfeuchtigkeit ist es sehr trocken und es weht so gut wie kein Wind. Der Brunnen wurde wegen Wassermangel geschlossen, im Bach fliest nur noch ein kleines Rinnsal. Tag 167: Es ist Regen angesagt, die drei Großen stehen unterm Balkon. Rundherum hats ordentlich geschüttet, hier hats 10 minuten getröpfelt und seitdem ist es wieder stark Bewölkt aber trocken bei nur 22°C. Wenn's dir gefallen hat, schau wieder vorbei ✌️😎

Removed autoflower and put her in her own pot outside the tent. Foliars applied in strong blue 430nm with 4000hz tone. 20min dose prior to application. In essence, you're seeing a combination of the infrared light reflected by the plant, which the camera perceives as red, and any residual visible blue light the plant reflects, which results in a purple hue. I was doing more stretching of the stems, adjusting weights, just a little too much, and it snapped almost clean. I got a little lucky in that it was still connected, wrapped her almost instantly while holding her in place with yoyos. I am hopeful she will recover and reconnect the xylem and phloem channels. Oopsy level stress event. ANTHOCYANINS!

Runtz Fem (mother) is on week 8. It's been a somewhat slow grow. But, I've been able to make a perfect pheno that changed early into a bigger pot does have fast growth for this pheno. It's strong. Hardy & quick to recover & nor easily affected by any issues. These are the perfect traits for my test. It's not about yield. It's about having a quality flower producing pheno. Which I can put 2 clones thar come off the same node set (pair) and are even as clones in appearance & more importantly as genes you can test with in this setting. Week 8 Days 48-53 Day 50, she's ready to be cloned. She'll get 6 hrs of rest. I'll remove the clones and treat them in clonex with rockwool cubes. Have made a humidity dome as I can find the ones I bought years ago. But this will do till rooted in 4-7 days. Day 51 Day 2 clones have survived and going strong at 36hrs later you see they're doing well behind a big pot in my tent (more or less ambient light with a bottle keeping up high RH above 85%. Refreshing air everyday). Keeping my eye on the wool to make sure everything keeps moist. Will be putting both fully rooted clones into 7L pots of exact same mix of Promix soil & using the Terra line from plagron with power roots & Startup (which was gifted by my grow store). Only plagron will be used in these phenos. The mother will remain on Xpert Nutrients and not be given green sensation aswel ad 1 of the 7L clone pots obviously. 3 phenos of the same in all. 1 Xpert Nutrients (full line) 1 Full Plagron (with) Green Sensation 1 Full Plagron (without) Green Sensation 3 phenos 1 mother. 3 different results. Let the fun begin. DISCOUNT CODES 20% off XPERT NUTRIENTS & KANNABIA with code: GGST 20% off Oringal Sensible Seeds with code: GGSTGD 20% off Zamnesias entire catalogue of seeds with code: ZAMMIGROW2024
