*ADVISE NEEDED* The day before yesterday I discovered a huge error in my system. I placed filter material in the feed-throughs of the breeding boxes. This is to prevent the roots from growing together over time. However, what I caused with that is very difficult to explain. The bottom line is that the distribution of food and circulation was actually not good at all. This also explained the differences in the water temperature, but also PH and EC values. That is now completely under control because it now runs stably for 2 days. However, you can see that the records have had a bad start. I am thinking about starting over. Week 3. Week 2 was looking for the correct settings for my system. I found out that the temperature in the bins is quite different. When I set the water chiller to 19 degrees, it all flows fine into the first container. There it rises about 0.5 degrees per bin. The margin of the chiller is about 1 degrees, causing too many fluctuations in the system, with tray 1 becoming too cold and the last one too cold. I solved this by shielding the box at the inlet of the tent with heat-protective foil. I also put a fan on the water chiller. If that catches on, the entire loft heats up, whith more fluctiations. However, I have enough space to measure very precisely and I am getting more and more control. I think the brown leaves were the cause of much too hot water. Since I have the water temperature under control, I see that the new leaves are growing nicely. Moreover, since yesterday (13-5) I received the nutrition. 10 days late. I just finish the root scheme I think. That is still 3 days a 70 mm per day combined with BioBizz Heaven. I tried to take some pictures of the roots and some close ups. I hold the lid with my left hand and with my right hand I try to take a picture zoomed in (max). While the wind makes the roots dance past my lens😵 Something different than usual ... Hope you like it. If you see something that needs to be addressed, let us know. It is my first breeding so there will undoubtedly go wrong. This week I also connected the water reservoir with which I can flush the entire system at once. With this I also control the Ph in the system. Will post photos soon.

Vegetative Steering 71f/60% 6:30 220 P1 6:49 440 P1 7:08 660 P1 7:27 880 P1 7:46 1100 P1 8:09 1320 P2 10:45 1540 P2 11:04 1760 P2 03:00 1320 P3 Day 14 Plant training shows most here. I do not like the look of a doubled topped plant.(will continue to do one top per 6 week Veg) Day 15 Secret sauce microbes 1ml per. Day 16 Tricantonol Spray(150ppm) Did that spray fix the sick plants? I think so 15 of 16 plants have preflowers. the 7 week veg plants are my favorite. 7 weeks is good if i will be topping twice The third fan was crucial to humidity control Day 17 Sprayed 6 plants(pictured right) with Jas wondering if these 6 will have stunted growth. Either they will have a stress response and halt root growth to early OR they grow normal but are a but frostier These 6 will be sprayed a second time during week 4 BEFORE the bud sites are medium sized. The other 6 will be sprayed once wk4 qnd once wk 5

Thc bomb auto has been growing really well this last week. I Did a defoliation on it today to prepare for flowering. Should set in at any time looks like stretching is already started. I believe I am close to the sweet spot with this light. 1st time using it. I am introducing bloom booster and lighter bloom nutrition in my base nutrition. Looking like it will be a big plant at current rate 🌱👍 As always, thank you very much grow diaries community. I appreciate the likes, follows, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. 🌱🍻

These healthy girls are starting to flower now and looking beautiful.Im going to do a bit more training and some defoliation to get more light penetrating down below.Se7000 still set at 50 percent light intensity raised to the ceiling of the tent and they seem to be really happy with it.Just about 2 more weeks I’ll start adding the Plagron Green Sensation along with another top dressing of Gaia green power bloom.

Pineapple Expressx2 (PE), Auto Durban Poisonx3 (ADP): Day 77 from seed. PEx2 Week 3 Flower & ADPx3 Week 5-6 Flower. Environment has been crazy fluctuations from outside weather: Temps 73-90F, RH 45-68%, CO2 500-875, & PPFD 1150-1250. Received a Compost tea to run off this week. All plants looking green and healthy. Flowering nicely. ADP #2, the most mature of the plants, Trichomes are coming along. Over all 55% Milky, 35% clear, 10% Amber. Going to give it another week of ripening and check again. The fade not real strong yet as well. 👌

Candyman is now Day 22 of flower! The smells are beautiful 2 smell more gassy and one smells more lemon now. They are drinking a lot every 2 days now, I've took a lot of leaves off and lower bud spots to give the tops more energy the finish line is fast approaching now and I can't wait 😍 Day 26 of flower and they are stinking they smell like gassy shit 🤣 but my last run of skywalker did that and was unreal smoke, so 🤞🏻 Update: Day 78, Day 28 of flower! It's the start of week 4 today and the colours are starting to change 😍 smelling and getting frosty by the day now. Really can't wait to try these girls out ✌️🏻

Since the humidity stayed at a very high level, it was only a matter of time...HORROR!😱 I FOUND BUD-ROT! 😭 On day 73 (=Flowering Day 49) I spotted a white fuzz on my ZHEETOS #2 plant from BIG BUDDHA SEEDS. I took it out and inspected her closer and found budrot on the main stem and in the main bud. I immediately cut off the infected parts and tried to save the rest of the plant. (see first video above) Since I do NOT want to spray my plants with any chemicals, because they are my medicine, I resort to UV-C light. I use the CLEANLIGHT HOBBY UNIT (a UV-C plant protection light from the Netherlands, that kills bacteria, viruses and fungi) and shine the UV-C light on all my plants and the soil-surface in the pots (see second video above). This will kill all the remaining spores of bud-rot (which are a kind of fungus) in my closet and stop it from further spreading to my other plants. I also immediately stop giving any BIO NOVA nutrients from this moment on, although the plants LOVE THEM. But I have to do this in order to flush the plants before harvesting them. I cannot risk and wait until the plants are fully matured, I have to do an emergency flush and harvest as soon as possible, so I dont loose the rest of my medicine to bud-rot. Hold your thumbs that I can save them for a week longer...👍

Week 12 pushed the Bruce Banner plants even closer to harvest 🌸❄️ The buds gained more density and weight, and all plants looked very mature at this point. Trichome development showed that #2 and #3 were clearly entering their harvest window. Most trichomes were milky, with some amber already visible, especially on the main colas. Because of this, I decided to give them a little more time to fully ripen. #1 was still slightly behind in maturity and will remain in the tent longer, while #2 and #3 are planned for harvest soon. Due to the heavy buds, the plants needed continued support to stay upright. Despite the weight, all flowers stayed compact and healthy with no signs of rot or stress. Watering this week was kept simple with RO water + CalMag only, no additional feeding. Environment: Temp ~24°C RH ~50–55% Overall a very controlled and smooth late-flower week. The plants are clearly finishing strong, and harvest is right around the corner ✂️❄️

The week was partly sunny and partly rainy and our plants had to be canopied on the balcony nearly every day. Rare sunny hours. Humidity is mostly ok, but I‘m checking now very regular if the plant need to be harvested. The flowers are covered in trichomes, she produces again and again pistills, the larger fan leaves loose a bit their color. No amber but blue trichomes. Pure rainwater in the morning and in the evening. Flushing first time with a good drainage. She smells very intense, like a mandarin juice in February: sweet, aromatic with a hazy undertone. Trichome fotos at the end :) Übersetzen

•Seconda settimana• Buongiorno ragazzi Entrando nella seconda settimana ci siamo accorti che nonostante tutte le precauzioni qualche foglia restava gialla, sempre quelle sottostanti. Da notare che la pianta cresceva benissimo e i pistilli aumentavano di giorno in giorno. A metà settimana circa abbiamo aggiunto 15g a pianta di top dress flo, un preparato organico che è risultato molto efficace e positivo per la pianta, irrigando regolarmente come sempre senza però l’aggiunta di melassa, solo acqua. Per sette giorni dalla somministrazione. Arrivando quindi fino a metà della terza settimana. Ricordo di aumentare sempre la dose di acqua, controllando la pianta e rimanendo sempre costanti nei giorni.
