Die Banana Purple Punch RF3 bleibt in der 4. Woche ein mysteriöses Pflänzchen. Die Blätter sind nach wie vor merkwürdig, fast wie eine Pflanze, die ihren eigenen Stil entdeckt hat. Aber keine Sorge, trotz dieser kleinen Exzentrik wächst sie immer noch gut und zeigt deutlich, dass sie potenzial hat. Die Nodienabstände sind kurz, was ihr eine schöne kompakte Struktur verleiht. Und ja, es ist etwas anspruchsvoll, sie zu trainieren, aber es funktioniert! Wir erwarten bald die Vorblüte, aber die Pflanze scheint noch etwas Wachstumsdrang zu haben, ein bisschen mehr Stretch könnte sie aber schon noch vertragen. Sie ist nicht wirklich durstig, was uns ein bisschen überrascht, aber das macht das Gießen etwas entspannter. Trotzdem sieht alles gesund und stabil aus, und wir sind gespannt, was die nächste Woche bringt! 😶 Hattet ihr bei euren Banana Purple Punch RF3 auch so eine "komische" Blattform wie auf unseren Bildern?

Jour42 defolliation and LST Jour45 defolliation Jour47 arrosage avec de l'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 1ml par litre d'eau de topmax biobizz La plante entre maintenant en floraison c'est donc le début du stretch Explication en anglais (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common. May the force be with you 💪

Bien pues arrancamos hoy día 30/10/23 la 2º semana de crecimiento. Las semillas se metieron en el táper el día 10/10/23 lo que quiere decir que llevamos 20 días desde que se empezaron a germinar. Durante esta semana se quedaran todas trasplantadas y dejaremos la 3º semana de crecimiento para recuperar el stress. En la 4º semana haremos podas. Planeo poner 1 malla de scrog a modo de guía, como si fuera los tutores a media altura de la planta. **UPDATE 30/10** Trasplante avanza, mas fotos añadidas en esta semana. **UPDATE 03/11** Trasplante finalizado. En cuanto terminemos esta 2ª semana de crecimiento podamos los bajos y hacemos pequeña defoliación. Hay que decir que la gama orgánica de BOOM NUTRIENTS me ilusiona, se ven las plantas verdes, sanas y las raíces pues de locos.

Welcome to my second grow of the Do-si-dos strain. This girl was veg'd for 14 week in a small pot while my first grow of this strain is in the flowering room. She didn't gain much more in size, despite the extra veg time, probably due to lower levels of nutes and the smaller pot size. Still she's looking good after moving her to the big pot and giving her a trim. Thanks for checking out my grows!

I purchased these seeds along with 100+ others (individual seeds, not packs) in late 2006 and early 2007 by sending Western Union money orders to the UK in birthday cards along with my seed order. My only recourse was crossing my fingers and hoping that my seeds would eventually arrive. What I found was that the “Buy it Now” option on Seedbay turned out to be pretty reliable. They used to have a Nirvana 4 pack deal for a very reasonable price ($50, I think). European seed producers at the time were very guarded with the lineage in their crosses, but the common thought was that Nirvana was taking known elite Dutch cultivars of the time and breeding them with a Skunk #1 male and producing ‘knock offs’. AK-48 was AK-47xSk1, Blue Mystic = Blueberry x Sk1, Bubblicious = Bubble GumxSk1, Jock Horror = Jack x Sk1. The point being, there ended up being a lot of variation in packs, but also some keepers were there to be found. I did some growing at that time, but ended up buying a ton of seeds that I never used. As a daily user for almost 30 years now, self sufficiency made/makes a lot of sense. A couple years ago I decided to get back into growing my own herb after being disappointed and underwhelmed with the quality of flower from the dispensaries.

Again I haven't taken any pictures of this plant was on the side of the fan that didn't go down I've inspected her all over and I've found no evidence of mold or bud rot. This plant is now drying separately to the offer plant I just didn't want to take photos for it all to end up in the bin but this should be a nice harvest

Meine drei Apricot Automatic entwickeln sich weiterhin hervorragend und haben die Blüte inzwischen vollständig eingeleitet. An allen drei Pflanzen erscheinen täglich neue, strahlend weiße Pistillen und die ersten Blütenstände beginnen sich an jedem Trieb sichtbar aufzubauen. Es ist jedes Mal faszinierend zu beobachten, wie schnell sich die Ladies jetzt verändern. Obwohl jede Pflanze ihren ganz eigenen Wuchs zeigt, entwickeln sich alle drei ausgesprochen gesund und vital. Eine der Damen hat aktuell etwas mehr Stretch hingelegt und übernimmt langsam die Führung in der Höhe, während ihre beiden Schwestern mit einer schönen, kompakten Struktur und zahlreichen Blütenansätzen überzeugen. Genau diese unterschiedlichen Wuchsformen machen den Grow besonders spannend. Das Training der vergangenen Wochen zahlt sich nun richtig aus. Die Seitentriebe sind hervorragend verteilt und bekommen reichlich Sonnenlicht, wodurch sich viele gleichmäßig belichtete Budsites entwickeln können. Genau das war das Ziel und ich freue mich sehr über das bisherige Ergebnis. Auch gesundheitlich gibt es nichts zu beanstanden. Alle drei Pflanzen zeigen ein kräftiges, sattes Grün, stabile Triebe und keinerlei Anzeichen von Stress oder Nährstoffmängeln. Das Plagron-Düngeschema versorgt sie weiterhin zuverlässig mit allem, was sie für eine kräftige Blütenentwicklung benötigen. Jetzt beginnt die spannendste Phase des gesamten Grows. Der Stretch nähert sich langsam seinem Ende und schon bald wird die komplette Energie in den Aufbau dichter, harziger Blüten fließen. Ich bin schon jetzt gespannt, wie intensiv sich das typisch süße Apricot-Aroma bei jeder einzelnen Pflanze entwickeln wird und wie unterschiedlich sich die drei Schwestern bis zur Ernte präsentieren. Ein riesiges Dankeschön geht wieder an Fast Buds für diese fantastische Genetik und natürlich an Plagron für die perfekte Nährstoffversorgung während des gesamten Grows. Ich freue mich schon auf Blütewoche 3! 🍑💚 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All three of my Apricot Automatic plants are progressing beautifully and have now fully entered the flowering stage. Fresh white pistils continue to appear every day, and flower sites are becoming more visible across all three plants. It's amazing to watch how quickly they are changing now. Although each plant has developed its own unique growth pattern, all three are looking extremely healthy and vigorous. One lady has stretched a little more and is currently leading in height, while her two sisters are staying slightly more compact with plenty of promising bud sites. These individual differences make the grow even more exciting. The training from the previous weeks is really paying off now. The branches are well spread, allowing sunlight to reach every potential bud site. This creates a balanced canopy where each flower has the opportunity to develop to its full potential. Health-wise, I couldn't be happier. All three plants display rich green foliage, strong branches, and absolutely no signs of stress or nutrient deficiencies. The Plagron feeding schedule continues to provide everything they need for vigorous flower development. Now the most exciting part of the grow begins. The stretch is slowly coming to an end, and soon all of their energy will be focused on building dense, resin-covered flowers. I'm already looking forward to seeing how the famous sweet Apricot aroma develops in each of the three sisters and how differently they will express their genetics by harvest time. A huge thank you once again to Fast Buds for this outstanding genetic and to Plagron for providing the perfect nutrition throughout the entire grow. I can't wait to see what Flower Week 3 will bring! 🍑💚

I want to transplant them when the hight of the other one have stretched… I’m thinking to transplant next week if not the next one - [ ] 6th week Veg - [ ] 7th week Veg - [ ] 1st week Fl - [ ] 2nd week Fl - [ ] 3rd week Fl - [ ] 4th week Fl - [ ] 5th week Fl - [ ] 6th week Fl - [ ] 7th week Fl if this was useful please like and follow

Moin, Bereits letzte Woche stand die Ernte an. Die Trichome der White Sweet Candy OG waren alle milchig und bereit zur Ernte. Nach der Ernte wurde die Blüten für 5 Tage in DryFermBags getrocknet leider hatte das Wetter wirklich kein erbarmen und es waren durchgängig mindestens 28°C bei einer rlf von 38-60% alles andere als ideal und genau das merkt man leider. Nach den 5 Tagen waren die Blüten schon etwas zu trocken für meinen Geschmack war ein curen nun nur bedingt möglich macht. Vermutlich hätten 4 Tage auch schon ausgereicht, was wit entfernt ist von dem was ich mir erhofft habe. Die Blüten haben eine helle grüne klassischen Struktur und sind mittelgroß, fest und von Trichomen überzogen. Früher oder später wird dieser Strain wohlmoglich erneut den Weg ins Zelt finden dann aber definitiv nicht im Sommer... Nunja ändern lässt es sich nicht und worauf ich mich in bei diesem Sommergrow einlassen war mich auch bewusst. Die WSCOG war generell sehr einfach im Anbau und alles andere als kompliziert. Der Strain reagiert relativ gut auf Training neigt aber doch zur apikaldominanz wodurch sich am Ende ein deutlicher Haupttrieb durchgesetzt hat. Gestretcht hat sich die Pflanze fast 4 Wochen lang, wobei vor allem an Anfang nur ein geringer Stretch sich abzeichnete. Beim Terpenprofil hat sich am Ende eine wirklich interessante Mischung aus würziger süße durchgesetzt die diesen Strain deutlich von anderen Candy Strain unterscheidet, zumindest soweit ich das beurteilen kann. Der Geschmack hat unter der Hitze und der viel zu schnellen Trocknung aber deutlich gelitten. Eine kleine Unschöne Sache die mir aufgefallen ist war, dass sich gegen Ende der Blüte circa 3 männliche Blüten gezeigt haben. Ich vermute daran wird zum einen der Lichtstress durch den geringen Abstand zur LED, die hohe Temperatur und vermutlich auch das intercanopy lighting gesorgt haben, da einzelne Blüten direkt an der LED waren wodurch sich Verbrennung gezeigt haben. Hab ich auch nochmal für den nächsten Grow dazu gelernt. Generell hat der Wettbewerb von Super Sativa Seed Club wirklich viel Spaß gemacht und wenn ich die Chance habe würde ich auch Widder teilnehmen wollen, der Strain und auch der Breeder finden wieder ihren Weg in mein kleines Zelt.

Plants seemed super short coming into week 3, I've raised the light 60cm above plant to encourage some stretching which it definitely has done this week. I'm watching the plant closely as moving into week 4 could mean moving into flower... They look pretty happy. Watered every 2.5 days, leaves and soil misted with ph balanced water morning and night. I'm toying with the idea of throwing in some far red light for 4 hours to see if it helps develop the plants more. 29.01 Far red light ordered aswell as a UV bulb. Plants seem to be doing ok, noticed a few leaves on RC#1 had curled tips so held off on watering for 3 days which seems to have done it some good. Snapped a lower branch on RC#1 during LST, wasnt a clean break maybe 60%? I've glued it back in place to see if it will bounce back. The brand feels floppy and lifeless at the moment but I've supported it properly so hopefully couple days it will repair itself. RC#2 also fell victim and lost a fan leaf.

So this is the last week before harvest, the trichomes are gettin milky and this time i will cut a little bit earlier. It is rainy and humid outside, it's good to finish now. Gave her Flash Clean for 3 days now, flushing. in 3 days the reservoir will be empty and the last 3 days she wont get any water . Set the PPFD to 600 to save the terpenes. After some start problems she turned out better, my first time in Autopots and pure coco. The top buds are Rock hard and smell like lemon. 6 days left.. Thanks to Terra Aquatica for the fertilizers and FastBuds for the seeds!

Check out the video! 7 weeks of flowering have passed. Tops are getting really heavy, I might have to buy bamboo support sticks soon. Resin production is insane as you can see. There was mold in one of the head buds and I had to remove a golfball-sized chunk. Some insect made its way in, died there and started rotting. I struggle to keep the humidity down and now I am watering every second day only. And i bought a third fan (typhoon) that blows warm air from the ceiling above the lamp back onto the tops. wish me luck for the last 4 weeks
