Week 4, really starting to pick up now so started some light LST 💚

It was a non stressful week and i guess we are getting slowly to the end. 1 or 2 weeks more. Buds are promising:D smell is well like orange 😏

This week I’m introducing my plant stands. It is a carousel design. They are lightweight, independent and can be put on/removed during growth with little effort or at the time of setup. I’ve had this idea for years, tried to find anything similar to it on line without success. I designed and assembled it about 2 years ago. It’s very versatile, can be modified for various uses and sizes, allows you 360 degrees access to you plant by rotation, brings you the ability to grow in a sea of green environment. Netting can be any size you desire and rotates with the plant. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Please take a look at my video this week that explains more. **The one on the plant now is actually designed for a 5 gallon bucket, I’ve simply modified it to work on this 2 gal bucket temporarily. This week she continues to outperform expectations and needed bracing because the weight of the flowers tipped her over. This was expected and remedied and all branches have now been spaced apart to allow bright lighting to penetrate deep into the plant. This is needed to mature out the lower buds. In another week I will cut back some more of the bigger leafs to allow even more light to get through. She continues to focus her energy on bud and trichome development (girth). The nutrient schedule has been updated as she is headed toward a late bloom cycle. Her smell is intensifying weekly. Maintain light power at 100% and PH at 6.24 I would highly recommend doing your own research on the blooming cycle. The change in nutrients is still controversial, but there is new and relevant studies that show of the main 3 NPK - K potassium was thought to boost flower production, the fact is this need on the plant remains relatively unchanged from vegetation through transition up to ripening. I continue to increase K in my schedule, but have started cutting back over this past year - up to 1/3 - without any noticeable difference. I have more that lends credibility to this theory I’ll explain next week. The case of bigger bud doesn’t mean anything special unless genetics and growth are in synergy. A quick note: I use General Hydroponics for nutrients and not this other one that is being listed, Terra Aquatica. I have no control over this update within Grow Diaries.

Die AK-47 entwickelt sich prächtig und zeigt ein sehr kräftiges Wurzelwachstum sowie sattes Grün. Die Runtz x Layer Cake ist etwas später dran; ihre Wurzeln fangen jetzt erst richtig an zu greifen, weshalb sie obenrum noch etwas hell/gelblich wirkt. Da beide im selben DWC-System stehen, wird die Nährstofflösung nun präzise angepasst. 💧 Wasserwerte & Setup • System: DWC mit voller Hesi-Serie (TNT, Wurzelkomplex, SuperVit). • Werte: pH 5,8 | EC 0,97 (sinkend) | Wasser-Temp: 19,9°C. • Besonderheit: Der ORP-Wert von 317 mV bestätigt eine saubere, sauerstoffreiche Wurzelumgebung. Maßnahmen • Nährstoff-Management: Da der EC-Wert sinkt, fressen die Pflanzen gut. Ich hebe den Ziel-EC leicht auf 1,1 an, um den Hunger der AK-47 zu stillen und der Runtz mehr Reserven zu bieten. • Support: Die Runtz erhält eine leichte Blattdüngung (Hesi TNT + Wurzelkomplex), um die Nährstoffaufnahme zu unterstützen, bis ihr Wurzelsystem voll etabliert ist. • Handling: Beim Wasserwechsel wurden die Wurzeln kurzzeitig geschützt im Eimer gelagert – alles lief reibungslos. Fazit: Die AK-47 gibt das Tempo vor, die Runtz zieht jetzt langsam nach. Die Bedingungen sind mit pH 5,8 und kühlem Wasser ideal.

Plants exploded this week once put into the Scrog. All tops topped once this week to help promote all tops below the main canopy to catch up with the rest.

The buds on this plant seem very nice and tight, a nice purplish bud colour started to develop during the 48 hours producing some very pleasant looking buds.

All good here 👌🏻 Stretching nicely now. Still has short internodes too she should pack out lovely. Don't think I'll have any issues with any bananas anymore she's is all clear. No smell as of yet. Just that regular weedy hint. Used the sumo boost as a foliar spray aswell as root fed this week.

Day 1 week 2 Day 2 week 2 Day 3 week 2

Might have some hermies, I plucked anything that might have looked like a sack forming haven't seen anymore show up. One of the Skunk #1s is 35 inches the other hasn't done as well and is very stumpy. A. Lemon is a happy camper, 35 inches, but is the one showing hermie. Zkittlez is a good size. Got a new tent for Christmas 48x24x84 so I have sufficient height going forward.

The little giant was probably fine . . . __ Sun Mar 10, 2024 IRIE1Q24 33:V:4:5  KEY Problems were the back flow protector on the Little Giant that reduced flow 1PSI, and flow restrictor on Xeribird8 for 10x the pressure of our little system. We’re lucky to have a couple of PSI at the emitters. That said - we produced ~1.5 gallons of runoff yesterday. To maintain runoff (but less than 1 GAL!), I’ve HALVED delivery times. Goal is to reduce runoff to ~10% of estimated delivery … Current Fertigation Run: 5 min Duration, 4 times in 11 hours.   We’ll FLIP on Week Change - give a couple of days for root development, some more height. We need to - [ ] Would like to grow to middle bar of tent BEFORE topping. - [ ] VERIFY ROOT POPULATION AT BOTTOM OF CONTAINERS BEFORE FLIP.

Will do this weekly if Coco induced Calcium deficiency observed.

WEEK 6 – MARCH 7 - 13 week 6 for all but the younger 24 (which is the only one that is not flowering). I'm getting frost on the DG. I sacrificed the weaker DG- it got light burn and never recovered. it was growing but sickly. . I now have a light meter and they are all getting the proper PPFD. I am increasing the nutes faster in the young 24 and it seems to be taking it. I am trying to keep an eye on my ppm. So far no signs of lock out or nute burn - I will increase the levels quicker next grow.

These girls had large growth spurts. The plant buds packed on volume in the last 2 weeks. I let some deficiencies run about a month prior harvest, which I'll make sure not to do in future. Roughly a quarter pound of nice buds + trim.

The plant is stretching very fast. It's very healthy. Besides being the smallest plant in the grow, she is doing well.

bueno durante la mitad semana (18 días de su germinación) hacemos su trasplante a una maceta de 5 litros integrando a la maceta Micorrizas Wonderland de la cual se nota mucho el cambio al llegar a la tercera semana de vegetación como se puede ver en las fotos y videos. se nota como va agarrando fuerza. Otros de los fertilizantes agregados es solo tek grow (grotex) usando las medidas indicadas en en el envase. con esto seguimos avanzando nuestro proceso. Slds

Mango Cherry Runtz Automatic | RDWC | Plagron Hydro Wenn die Lemon Cherry Sundae in dieser Woche mit ihrer kompakten Blütenentwicklung überzeugt, dann übernimmt die Mango Cherry Runtz die Rolle des absoluten Giganten im Growraum. Ihr enormes Höhenwachstum hat sich auch in dieser Woche fortgesetzt und sie dominiert das gesamte RDWC-System mit ihrer beeindruckenden Erscheinung. Die Pflanze hat mittlerweile eine außergewöhnliche Struktur entwickelt. Lange, kräftige Haupttriebe strecken sich bis dicht unter die Beleuchtung und tragen entlang ihrer gesamten Länge unzählige gleichmäßig verteilte Blütenansätze. Durch den großen Abstand zwischen den Nodien wirkt die Pflanze sehr offen, wodurch Licht und Luft nahezu jeden Bereich der Krone problemlos erreichen können. Trotz ihrer enormen Größe präsentiert sich die Mango Cherry Runtz erstaunlich vital. Die Triebe sind stabil, die Blattfarbe wirkt gesund und selbst bei dieser extremen Höhe zeigt die Pflanze weiterhin eine ausgezeichnete Entwicklung. Besonders beeindruckend ist, dass nahezu jeder Seitentrieb produktiv geworden ist und mittlerweile eigene Blütenstände ausbildet. Auch die Blütenentwicklung schreitet sichtbar voran. Die weißen Blütenfäden bedecken inzwischen nahezu jede Cola und beginnen sich langsam miteinander zu verbinden. Gleichzeitig setzt bereits die erste deutliche Harzproduktion ein, wodurch einzelne Sugar Leaves schon jetzt einen feinen frostigen Glanz zeigen. Gerade im RDWC-System zeigt sich hier eindrucksvoll das enorme Wachstumspotenzial dieser Genetik. Während viele Pflanzen ihre Energie früh in kompakte Blüten investieren, baut die Mango Cherry Runtz zunächst eine riesige Pflanzenstruktur auf, die nun nach und nach in unzählige Blüten umgewandelt wird. Die kommenden Wochen dürften besonders spannend werden. Mit ihrer offenen Architektur besitzt sie das Potenzial, außergewöhnlich lange Colas auszubilden, die sich Stück für Stück schließen und zu beeindruckenden Blütenketten entwickeln werden. Schon jetzt wirkt sie wie eine Pflanze, die eher an eine photoperiodische XXL-Sativa erinnert als an eine Autoflower. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mango Cherry Runtz Automatic | RDWC | Plagron Hydro While the Lemon Cherry Sundae impresses with her compact flower development this week, the Mango Cherry Runtz takes center stage as the true giant of the grow room. Her explosive vertical growth continues to dominate the entire RDWC system, creating an incredibly impressive plant structure. She has developed into an exceptionally tall and elegant plant. Long, sturdy main branches stretch almost all the way to the light while producing countless evenly spaced flower sites from top to bottom. Thanks to the wide internodal spacing, the canopy remains open, allowing excellent light penetration and airflow throughout the entire plant. Despite her enormous size, plant health remains outstanding. The stems are strong, foliage still looks healthy, and the overall vigor is remarkable considering her height. Nearly every side branch has become productive and is now building its own flower clusters. Flower production is progressing beautifully as well. Bright white pistils now cover almost every branch, gradually stacking into longer flowering columns. At the same time, the first noticeable layer of resin is beginning to coat the flowers and nearby sugar leaves, giving them an early frosty appearance. This plant perfectly showcases the incredible growth potential that RDWC can unlock. Rather than rushing into dense flowers, the Mango Cherry Runtz first invested heavily in building an enormous framework, which is now transforming into hundreds of developing bud sites. The next few weeks should be especially exciting. With her open architecture and exceptional height, she has the potential to produce incredibly long colas that gradually fill in and become impressive flower spears. At this stage she resembles a massive photoperiod sativa far more than a typical autoflower—making her one of the most fascinating plants of the entire project. 🌱🔥

Mephisto sure shit ain’t playing with these genetics! She’s been fun, super easy, let the fun begin!

Plants are doing well. Watering roughly once weekly continues to be the current schedule. In this week's watering (week 6, Thursday), a nutrient mix was added (19% Nitrogen, 5% Phosphate, 20% K2O). pH was measured (via the runoff/drainage water collected) on all three plants using a pH probe, of which was measured to be slightly acidic for all plants (exact pH numbers above in the photo descriptions). We are aiming for a pH range of 6.0-7.0, so in next week's watering, we will add a buffer solution to alkalize the soil. All three plants lower branches were also pruned.
