Gelato - Semana 7 1 Optimización de la Maduración y Corrección del Balance ( N-K) Durante el inicio de esta fase, se identificó un ligero espigamiento o foxtailing (cola de zorro) en las inflorescencias apicales. Etiología: Este fenómeno se atribuyó a una persistencia elevada de Nitrógeno (155 ppm) durante la semana 6. El exceso de en etapas avanzadas de floración puede reactivar procesos vegetativos en el ápice de la flor, promoviendo la formación de nuevas hojas de azúcar y estructuras espigadas que comprometen la densidad. Acción Correctiva:Se recalibró la solución nutritiva reduciendo el aporte de Nitrógeno a 90 ppm. Resultado: Esta restricción nitrogenada detuvo el crecimiento apical desordenado y forzó a la planta a entrar en una senescencia controlada. Al limitar el , se redirigen los carbohidratos de la síntesis de nuevas proteínas estructurales hacia la ruta de los metabolitos secundarios, mejorando significativamente la compactación de los cálices y la deposición de resina. 2. Ajuste del Balance Cationico y Presión Osmótica Se realizó una intervención crítica en la concentración de Potasio (K) para proteger la integridad del transporte de nutrientes en la zona radicular: Reducción de : El aporte se ajustó de 220 ppm a 195 ppm. Fundamento Técnico: Niveles de Potasio superiores a 200 ppm en esta fase aumentan drásticamente la presión osmótica en la rizósfera. Esto genera un antagonismo competitivo, donde el exceso de cationes de bloquea los sitios de absorción de Calcio y Magnesio . Consecuencia: Al bajar a 195 ppm, se redujo la interferencia iónica, permitiendo que el Calcio mantenga la estabilidad de las paredes celulares en los cálices maduros y el Magnesio continúe soportando la transferencia de energía (ATP) sin provocar bloqueos radiculares por saturación de sales. 3. Suplementación Final de Vitaminas del Grupo B En concordancia con el protocolo de maduración, se aplicó la penúltima dosis de Tiamina (B1), Piridoxina (B6) y Cobalamina (B12) (100mg / 5mg / 50mcg respectivamente) diluida por cada 10 litros de agua. Mecanismo: Estos activos actúan como agentes de mitigación de estrés abiótico. Dado que la planta está operando bajo una alta demanda metabólica y una solución nutritiva de alta precisión, el complejo B facilita el metabolismo de los carbohidratos y refuerza el sistema inmunitario radicular ante la fluctuación de la presión osmótica. 4. Estado de los Tricomas y Senescencia La reducción de macronutrientes ha acelerado la maduración bioquímica visible en las flores: Tricomas: La relación actual es de un 75% lechosos y un 15% ámbar, con una disminución notable de tricomas hialinos (transparentes). Arquitectura: La flor ha dejado de estirarse, logrando un cierre de corona mucho más denso. La coloración de las hojas de azúcar muestra un inicio de degradación de clorofila (fading), señal de que la planta está movilizando sus reservas móviles hacia la floración final. 5. Parámetros de Control Climático (VPD) Se mantiene un VPD de 1.4 kPapara asegurar que, a pesar de la reducción de Potasio, el flujo transpiratorio sea suficiente para movilizar el Calcio hacia las zonas de mayor densidad floral, previniendo necrosis interna en los cogollos más compactos.

Recap.. Medium: Coco and Leca mix in 1L grow bags transpl to 5L bag Lighting: Greenhouse light by day, 600W LED by night Nutrients: EHG Micro & Grow, Biodyne, CalMag pellets, Phytha tonic, diluted fish tank water Training: Starting early LST Plants are now entering Week 5 of veg and responding well to the environment. The roots are well established in the 1L bags, and new growth is looking lush and vibrant. Started light LST to encourage lateral branching and even canopy development. They're drinking more now, so I’m adjusting watering frequency accordingly and alternating between fish tank water + Biodyne and a mild EHG Grow mix. Sprayed Neudosan as a preventative measure against spider mites picked up on Blue Cheese. No signs of pests or stress so far on the Supercheese clones. CalMag pellets are helping maintain strong leaf development and overall vigor. Planning to up-pot soon if growth continues at this rate. Everything’s on track – healthy, bushy, and ready to explode with growth in the coming weeks. 📸: Close-up of the canopy, LST in progress 🌱 Vibes: Green and clean

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 13 🦄💎 The Dark Little Unicorn Is Showing Us Her Genetic Signature 🦄🌸✨ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well... Here we are again. 😂 And honestly? I'm starting to think this girl might be trying to tell us something. Because the more I look at Frosted Guava Pheno B... the more I look around the rest of the room... and the more I compare what we're seeing... the more I'm beginning to wonder if this beautiful little foxtailing madness is simply part of her genetic personality. 🦄🌸 The majority of the room isn't doing this. Yes, we have a few other plants showing some foxtailing here and there. But overall? Statistically speaking... the room is not a foxtailing jungle. 😂 These Frosted Guava girls, however? They seem to have received a completely different memo. 😂🦄🌸 And I actually love that. Because that's exactly what the 8×8 Adventure is here to show us. Same room. Same general environment. Same photons. Same grower. Same ecosystem. Different genetics. Different expressions. Different personalities. And sometimes... those genetics speak VERY loudly. 😂🌸🦄 So this week... let's give our dark little unicorn the spotlight. Because she's shining. She's doing her thing. She's continuing to evolve. And honestly? I'm reaching the point where I'm simply enjoying the view. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🦄 WEEK 13 – THE FOXTailing SIGNATURE? This week, I'm looking at her and thinking: "Okay... this is starting to look genetic." 😂 Now, obviously, I'm not going to pretend that one grow is enough to prove exactly which gene is responsible for what. We're observing. We're comparing. We're learning. But when you have two Frosted Guava phenotypes showing very similar unusual flowering behaviour... while the majority of the rest of the room isn't... well... it's certainly an interesting pattern. 🦄🌸 And that's one of the things I love most about this project. We're not looking at one plant in isolation. We're looking at twelve plants sharing the same room. And when something repeatedly appears in one genetic line... your curiosity naturally starts asking questions. Is it environmental? Is it nutritional? Is it simply the individual phenotype? Or is there a genetic component? 🤔🌿 I don't have the final answer. But I'm certainly enjoying watching the evidence build. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE ROOM IS NOT A FOXTailing JUNGLE This is where the comparison becomes really interesting. We've got a room full of plants. Different cultivars. Different phenotypes. Different structures. Different flowering behaviours. And yes... there are a few other foxtails around the room. But overall? The majority are not expressing this characteristic to anything like the same degree. And then we look at Frosted Guava... 🦄 "Hello." 😂🌸 There she is. And her sister is basically standing beside her saying: "Yeah... us too." 😂😂😂 That's what makes me suspicious that we're looking at something inherent to the genetics rather than simply something happening randomly throughout the room. Again... I'm not claiming we've scientifically identified a specific gene. I'm simply saying: the pattern is interesting. And in a project like this... patterns are exactly what we're here to observe. ──────────────────────── GENETICS ARE WHISPERING... OR MAYBE SHOUTING This is where the 8×8 Adventure gets really fun. Because sometimes genetics don't whisper. Sometimes they walk into the room... look at you... and scream: "THIS IS WHAT I DO." 😂🌸 Frosted Guava seems to have chosen: "Flowers?" Yes. "Lots of them?" Yes. "Normal structure?" Absolutely not. 😂 "Foxtails?" YES. 🦄🌸🔥 And honestly? I'm here for it. Because this is exactly why we grow multiple plants and document individual phenotypes. If every plant behaved exactly the same... there wouldn't be nearly as much to learn. But they don't. They show us differences. And those differences are the story. ──────────────────────── 🦄 OUR DARK LITTLE UNICORN IS STILL SHINING And let's not forget the most important part. Whatever the reason... she's beautiful. 💚🦄 She's still carrying that gorgeous deep-green character. She's still developing beautifully. She's still building flowers. She's still looking substantial. And she's still doing everything at her own rhythm. She's not trying to copy her sister. She's not trying to copy anybody else in the room. She's simply being Frosted Guava Pheno B. And I really like that. There is something incredibly satisfying about watching a phenotype become recognizable. At the beginning... she's just another plant. Then week by week... you start noticing little things. Then you start recognizing her from across the room. And eventually... you don't even need the label. You just look and think: "Yep. That's her." 😂🦄💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 MORE FOXTails = MORE CHARACTER And yes... I'm going to keep enjoying those foxtails. 😂 Because I know some people love them. Some people don't. Some people see them as beautiful. Some people prefer traditional, compact flower structures. And that's perfectly fine. That's the beauty of growing. Everybody has different eyes. Different preferences. Different favourite structures. Different colours. Different expressions. Me? I like the weird stuff. 😂💚💜💙 I like green. I like purples. I like blues. I like unusual structures. I like plants that make me stop and ask: "Okay... what the hell are you doing?" 😂🦄 And Frosted Guava Pheno B definitely qualifies. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM – DIFFERENT STORY Once again... we come back to the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environmental conditions. Same lighting ecosystem. Same nutritional foundation. Same irrigation system. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And yet... look at the plants. Some are compact. Some are tall. Some are dense. Some are open. Some are incredibly frosty. Some develop different colours. Some move faster. Some move slower. And these Frosted Guava girls? They're apparently members of the Foxtail Club. 😂🦄🌸 That's the experiment. The environment provides the stage. Genetics decide what kind of performance happens on it. And Pheno B is putting on a very recognizable performance. ──────────────────────── ☀️ SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION The lighting environment remains the same upgraded setup we've been running across the room. The additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still giving us that expanded lighting capability. We're controlling the output rather than simply running everything flat out. Approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with natural variation depending on plant height and position. And this is another thing I love watching. The photons are basically the same opportunity. They arrive. The plants receive them. And then... genetics interpret them. 😂☀️🌿 Pheno B has apparently decided: "Thank you very much. I'll use these photons to make some wonderfully weird flowers." 😂🦄🌸 Fair enough. ──────────────────────── 💡 MORE CAPABILITY – STILL NO NEED TO INTERFERE The lighting upgrade gave us more capability. It didn't give us more reasons to constantly touch the plants. And I think that's important. We have more control. More flexibility. More ability to provide a strong, consistent lighting environment. But the plants still get to decide what they do with it. And Frosted Guava Pheno B? She's doing just fine. So I'm not going to interfere just for the sake of being busy. 😂 The grower doesn't get extra points for touching the plant every five minutes. Sometimes the best thing we can do... is watch. ──────────────────────── 😂 I'M ALMOST JUST ENJOYING THE VIEW NOW Honestly? That's where I'm at. I'm almost becoming a tourist in my own grow room. 😂📸🌿 I walk in. I look around. I see the girls. I check that everything is running properly. I look at the flowers. I look at the structures. I look at the frost. And then I just... enjoy the view. 😂 Because what else am I supposed to do? They're growing. They're developing. They're healthy. They're doing their thing. So I'll keep providing. I'll keep maintaining. I'll keep observing. And I'll let them entertain me. That's a pretty good job description. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS KEEP DEVELOPING And underneath all the foxtailing... there's still a lot of beautiful flower development happening. The structures are becoming more substantial. The flowers continue to gain presence. The plant continues to mature. And that's what matters. The foxtailing is simply one of her characteristics. It isn't the entire story. She's also: 🌿 Green. 🌸 Flowering. ❄️ Frosty. 💪 Substantial. 🦄 Unusual. 💚 Beautiful. And together... all those characteristics make her what she is. Frosted Guava Pheno B. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE DARK LITTLE UNICORN IS STILL FROSTY And yes... the frost hasn't gone anywhere. 😂❄️🦄 The flowers continue carrying that beautiful resinous appearance. The darker foliage creates a beautiful contrast. The developing flowers stand out. And then the camera gets closer... and suddenly you find another layer of detail. Pistils. Trichomes. Flower texture. Little foxtailing structures. Tiny differences between one cola and another. It's almost like every flower has its own little personality. 📸🌸 And I love documenting that. ──────────────────────── 🦄 PHENO A AND PHENO B – THE UNICORN SISTERS And of course... we have to talk about her sister. Because this is becoming more and more interesting. Two Frosted Guava girls. Same room. Same general conditions. Same grower. And both showing this unusual flowering characteristic. That doesn't prove anything by itself... but it certainly makes the genetic theory more interesting. 🦄🦄 Pheno A has her own expression. Pheno B has hers. They're not identical plants. But they share something. And that something is worth watching. That's the beauty of keeping individual phenotype diaries. You can actually go back. You can compare. You can look at the photographs. You can look at the progression. And eventually... you start seeing patterns that you might completely miss with a single plant. ──────────────────────── 🌿 THERE'S STILL NOT MUCH FOR ME TO DO And yes... we're repeating ourselves again. 😂 But that's because reality hasn't changed. There's not much for me to do. And I'm not complaining. I'm celebrating it. Because if something suddenly needs major intervention at this stage... that's normally not the kind of surprise I want. 😂 So thank God... we're simply maintaining. We're looking. We're providing. We're supporting. We're observing. And we're letting the plant continue. That's a good week. A very good week. ──────────────────────── 🙏 SOMETIMES "NOTHING" IS THE BEST NEWS This is something I think gets overlooked when people document grows. We tend to celebrate action. "Today I did this." "Today I changed that." "Today I trained." "Today I adjusted." But sometimes... the best update is: "Nothing needed changing." 😂🌿 Because that means the system is working. The plant is happy. The environment is stable. The flowers are developing. And the grower isn't having to put out fires. That's not boring. That's success. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is giving us exactly that kind of week. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – KEEPING THE ROOM MOVING FORWARD The nutritional programme continues along with the overall progression of the room. We're not trying to create a special recipe just because she's Frosted Guava. She's part of the same environment. Part of the same nutritional strategy. And once again... she's showing us what she does with it. That's what I'm interested in. Not forcing her. Not trying to make her behave differently. Just watching. Observing. Learning. And supporting. Because she's already doing the interesting part. 🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 – ROOM CONDITIONS The room continues broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same ecosystem. Different genetic expression. 🦄🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 📸 JUST ENJOYING THE VIEWS I think this is probably my favourite sentence for this week: I'm just enjoying the views. 😂📸🌿 Because sometimes you reach that point where the grow becomes less about what you're doing... and more about what you're seeing. You look at the canopy. You look at the flowers. You look at the different phenotypes. And you realize: "Damn... we built something pretty cool here." 😂💚 The plants are doing the work. The room is running. The genetics are speaking. And I'm lucky enough to stand in the middle of it with a camera. Not a bad place to be. ──────────────────────── IS FOXTailing PART OF HER GENETICS? That's the question I'm increasingly curious about. Again... I'm not claiming we've scientifically proven it. We're simply observing a pattern. The room overall isn't heavily foxtailing. There are a few other examples. But the Frosted Guava girls? They're definitely making a case for themselves. 😂🦄🌸 So maybe there's a genetic tendency here. Maybe there's something in this cultivar that encourages this type of flower expression. Maybe it's a combination of genetics and environment. Maybe it's simply how these particular phenotypes express themselves. That's what makes the experiment interesting. We don't have to pretend we already know. We can simply observe. And say: "That's interesting." Then keep watching. That's science enough for a grow diary. 😂🔬🌿 ──────────────────────── 🍇 MORE FLOWER TO ENJOY And at the end of the day... whether you call them foxtails... extended flower structures... or simply this girl's weird little personality... they're still beautiful flowers. 😂🌸 And more flower means more to appreciate later. The harvest chapter will eventually come. The trimming chapter will eventually come. And yes... these unusual structures may make the trimming a little more interesting. 😂✂️ But that's Future DogDoctor's problem. Right now... Present DogDoctor is busy enjoying the view. 😂📸🦄 ──────────────────────── 🔮 FUTURE DOGDOCTOR CAN DEAL WITH THE SCISSORS I've learned to stop solving problems that don't exist yet. 😂 Harvest? Later. Trimming? Later. Drying? Later. Curing? Definitely later. Right now? She's still growing. So let her grow. Let her finish her story. Let her surprise us. And when the scissors eventually appear... we'll deal with whatever beautiful weirdness she gives us. 😂✂️🦄 Until then... back to watching. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE UNICORN DOESN'T NEED A SCRIPT I think that's another thing I love about this girl. She doesn't seem to care what I expected. 😂 She just does her thing. I can make predictions. I can make theories. I can look at her sister. I can look at the rest of the room. And she'll still look back at me and say: "Yeah... anyway... I'm going to do this." 😂🦄🌸 And honestly? Good. That's what I want. I want plants that teach me something. I want plants that surprise me. I want plants that make me question assumptions. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is doing exactly that. ──────────────────────── 👑 LET HER HAVE HER SPOTLIGHT Some girls demand attention. Some steal it. Some quietly earn it. And this little unicorn? She's earned it. 🦄👑 She's beautiful. She's unusual. She's developing. She's frosty. She's green. She's building flowers. She's showing a very interesting genetic expression. And she's doing all of it without asking for much from me. So yes... the spotlight belongs to her this week. Let's make her shine. Let's appreciate the weirdness. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the genetics. And let's simply enjoy the view. 🦄🌸❄️💚 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this stage, I'm watching: Whether the foxtailing expression continues. 🌸 How the flowers continue developing. ❄️ Resin development. 🌿 Overall plant health. 💚 Her beautiful dark-green character. 🦄 How much more personality she decides to show us. 📸 And, of course, documenting the journey. That's enough. No need to force anything. No need to invent work. No need to predict the ending. Just keep watching. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – THE DARK LITTLE UNICORN SHINES Week 13. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno B. 🦄🌿💚 And honestly... I'm starting to really appreciate how different she is. She's not simply another plant in the room. She's becoming a very recognizable phenotype. The dark green. The beautiful flowers. The frost. The structure. And now... the foxtailing. 😂🦄🌸 The more I compare her with the rest of the room... the more interesting that characteristic becomes. Maybe it's genetic. Maybe it's part of this cultivar's expression. Maybe the environment is simply helping reveal it. Whatever the final answer is... I'm enjoying watching the story unfold. And that's the whole point. We're not here to force every plant into the same mould. We're here to see what they become. And Frosted Guava Pheno B? She's becoming one beautiful, dark, frosty, foxtailing little unicorn. 😂🦄❄️🌸 She's shining. She's doing her thing. And I'm almost just standing there enjoying the view. That's a pretty damn good place to be. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep maintaining. And let's let this girl finish the story she started. The harvest can wait. The scissors can wait. The trimming can wait. All of that belongs to another chapter. Right now... we grow. We observe. We provide. We appreciate. And we enjoy. 🦄🌸💚✨ Keep doing your thing, Frosted Guava. Keep surprising us. Keep showing us your personality. Keep making those beautiful weird flowers. And let's see where this genetic journey takes us. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us these beautiful unicorns to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And Frosted Guava Pheno B? You're still doing exactly what you want. 😂🦄 You're evolving. You're developing. You're shining. You're showing us a very interesting expression. And you're giving us another reason to love the genetic diversity inside this room. Maybe that foxtailing is genetic. Maybe there's more to discover. Maybe we'll understand it better by the end. And maybe... she'll simply keep being a beautiful little freak and leave us wondering. 😂🦄🌸 Either way... I'm enjoying the ride. So this week, the spotlight belongs to you. Let's make you shine. Let's appreciate every flower. Every foxtail. Every frosty little detail. Every beautiful green leaf. Every strange little structure. Because you're not trying to be anyone else. You're just being you. And that's exactly what makes you interesting. 🦄💚🌸✨ Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep developing, the genetics keep speaking, the grower keeps enjoying the view, and our dark little unicorn keeps doing exactly what the hell she wants. 😂🦄🌿 Let her shine. 💚

🇩🇪 Die ersten Blütenstände sind erkennbar und sie beginnt sich zu Strecken. Sie beginnt auch schon leicht zu duften. Ich bin mal gespannt. Alle Parameter sehen gut aus und die Pflanze dementsprechend auch. Vor ein paar Tagen war es sehr heiß draußen, wodurch die Temperatur auf 29 grad gestiegen ist. Dem Strain hat es aber nichts ausgemacht. Die anderen Pflanzen haben die Blätter hängen lassen aber FB scheint sehr resistent gegen hohe Temperaturen zu sein, bzw. sie gut wegzustecken. Die Lampe habe ich heute auf 75% hochgedreht. 🇺🇸 The first buds are visible, and it’s starting to stretch. It’s also beginning to emit a light scent. I’m curious to see how it develops. All the parameters look good, and so does the plant. A few days ago, it was very hot outside, causing the temperature to rise to 29°C. However, the strain didn’t seem to mind. The other plants drooped their leaves, but FB appears to be very resistant to high temperatures or able to handle them well. Today, I turned the lamp up to 75%. 🇪🇸 Los primeros cogollos son visibles, y está comenzando a estirarse. También empieza a emitir un ligero aroma. Tengo curiosidad por ver cómo se desarrolla. Todos los parámetros se ven bien, y la planta también. Hace unos días hizo mucho calor afuera, lo que hizo que la temperatura subiera a 29°C. Sin embargo, a esta cepa no pareció afectarle. Las otras plantas bajaron sus hojas, pero FB parece ser muy resistente a las altas temperaturas o capaz de manejarlas bien. Hoy subí la lámpara al 75%.

Only watering with plain water this week. Last week PPMs were hovering around 2k so the slow flush is working properly. I will skip nutes this week to prevent additional build up. CSK 1 - PPM 1230 / PH 6.7 CSK 2 - PPM 1315 / PH 6.6 CSK 3 - PPM 1225 / PH 6.5

Harvested around 1 week ago, slowly drying with around 22° and 60% humidity. Super dense with really nice fruit smell. Definitely can grow again. Very good so so dos genetics

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis Tout d'abord merci à James de Royal queen seeds de me permettre de faire cette culture Je rappelle je n'utilise que le strict minimum du matériel nécessaire à une culture correcte au prix le plus bas possible MATÉRIEL CONFIGURATION Box 80×80×160 Lampe led greenception GC4 250WATTS Ventilateur à pince 15 watts Xiaomi Deerma humidificateurs 5L Hygrometre thermomètre Extracteur PROFAN 107 m3/h - 100 Prise programmable électronique ×2 1 pot geotextile noir 10 litres (RQS) RQS feeding easy boost organic RQS easy combo tablets Substrat cellmax bio ligthmix Fil de fer et pince coupante Microscope Petite balance de précision CULTURE ÉTAPE PAR ÉTAPE J'ai tout dabord fais germé ma graine avec le easy start de Royal queen seed et je suis agréablement surpris car franchement le taux de réussite est très élevé (9 graines sur 10) simple d'utilisation et très efficace. Une fois la plantule sortie et d'une hauteur de 2 ou 3 centimètres je la prend délicatement et la place directement dans son pot définitif. Je préconise des pots allant entre 10 litres et 15 litres pour des autofloraisons cultivées en intérieur. Le pot aura été préalablement préparé (video dans diarie) avec 50 grammes d'engrais RQS easy boost organic, soit l'équivalent de à peu près 5 grammes par litre de substrat. Je dépose donc la plantule dans son pot définitif je recouvre un peu de avec de terre je tasse légèrement et j'arrose pour garder le substrat humide pas plus Je place ma lampe led 300watts à environ 90 centimètres de la plantule avec un cycle de lumière de 24/24 pendant une semaine. Au début de la semaine 2 le cycle de lumière passera en 20/4 grace a un programmateur car c'est pour moi le cycle de lumière qui offre le meilleur rendement pour une autofloraison. Jour1: léger arrosage Jour2: léger arrosage Jour5: préparation de 3 litres d'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute une tablette grow easy combo RQS ensuite arrosage avec 1,5 litre d'eau ph6.3

All goes good.

Completely forgot to update like an idiot, but these videos were taken two days ago. Pheno 1&2 are both male, so I'm just hoping this last one is female. I might flower when I get back from vacation to just speed this process up but I guess well see.

Gorgeous buds from this hard diesel pheno #2 guys, very lemony and sweetie aroma, I will see how good this lady is when I smoke her but looks and smells incredible, I enjoy with every strain of Gea seeds didn't get a bad plant so far, let's see how this lady keeps developing those NUGS!!! ❤️💚

Good week, same here though. Hope she's done stretching. She's huge, please stop lol. Anyway, did a little more lst and defol on her. Upped the nutrients and she looks amazing!!! Stacking up beautifly and I'm sure she's going to have some massive cola's. Can't wait, until next week.

Beginning of the week, Jan20 D29 Continued LST, made an very light defoliation. Last week I've added 1tbsp of soil adifier per plants (sulfur) my PH should reduce enough to be between 6 and 6.8 Jan21 D30: re raised the light @175w, plants are happy Jan24 D33: plants are booming rapidly, topped the 2 C&C on all the main branches Jan27 D37: starting to see a little deficiency. Maybe a lockout of calcium or potassium. Tested soil ph and its around 7. Work to do. Did a slight defoliation, add 1tsbp of mineral mix 0-1-5 per plant (calmag) 1/4 cup of mykes, 1tbsp of Batguano 0-12-8 and 1tbsp of soil acidifier. Top dressed all 3 with that and watered 2L at ph 5.5... Hope I did not do too much. Will wait nx weekend to put into flower.

It's week 9 of flower and she's been fed her last bit of nutrients. I'll start flushing with BushDoctor's SledgeHammer 2 tsp a gallon. Then just straight water until the chop :)

Eccoci ragazzi, scusate il ritardo ma purtroppo sono molto impegnato in questo periodo, è faccio fatica a stare dietro ai diari.. Apparte questo questa blue dream sta crescendo davvero molto imforma e vigorosamente! Ha già sfumature bluastre ed un odore speziato molto particolare! Ho tolto un po di rami inferiori che non prendevano abbastanza luce, ed ho provato a fare qualche clone, se questa ragazza si rileva come sembra un ottima genetica potente, in questo modo avrò delle sorelle identiche in forza e vigore che mi daranno un erba eccezionale nei prossimi cicli? Speriamo che attecchiscano! Per il resto tutto ok, sto seguendo la scheda di Terra Aquatica e si stanno rivelando degli ottimi nutrienti! Grazie a tutti voi che mi seguite, spero vi piacciono le mie ragazze quanto piacciono a me! P. S come potete vedere dalle foto è in corso una massiccia infestazione di tripidi, e nonostante le molteplici trappole che ho messo dappertutto, non riesco a liberarmene, anzi stanno sempre riproducendo di più e sinceramente sono un po' preoccupato, spero che il raccolto non ne risenta troppo.. Ho pensato di mettere qualche coccinella come predatore naturale ma per ora non è il periodo e ne ho trovata solo una che nn risolve di certo la situazione.. Grazie ancora buone fumate a tutti! 420 🍀🙏💪😸🌱🌿🥦🧑‍🌾

What's up Growmies 🤟🏽. Today marks the start of week 7 overall and week 2 flowering (week 1 flowering for Caramelicious). I love indoor growing during the winter because the humidity is easy to maintain at optimal levels. My babies are thriving and all are very healthy, I am keeping an eye on Caramelicious making sure she doesn't Hermie on me and pollinate my entire tent ( it happened before). I switched to a 12 light schedule about 10 days ago and she is just now starting to preflower. I am feeding them just 1 liter of water every 3 days and they seem to do well with that schedule. Every 3rd watering I feed them plain water and give them about 1-1/2 liters (or until I see run off) I notice how the first 2 to 3 hours after watering the leaves all droop and kind of claw, I believe it's due to the plant being saturated with water and sucking up the water so it can breath o2 again. I am giving them all the "bloom and riping" mix of General Hydroponics which calls for 1/2/3 mil/gallon mixture. I mix the recommended dosage into a 3 gallon sprayer so like always they are getting 1/3 of the manufacturer's recommended dosage. I have never lollipopped any of my grows, hell I don't even defoliate, I use the tuck method and remove fan leaves as the plant matures and sucks the nutrients out of them. However just for experience and experimentation I am going to defoliate the bottom 3rd set of leaves, and get rid of some of the lower bud sites of one of my white LSD plants. Since I have 2 growing I figured I really have nothing to loose. All in all everything is going very well🤞🏽it is getting so crowded that it is difficult to take the type of pictures I want, however that is a good thing in my eyes. That is all for this week, nothing really new or exciting going on, just business as usual. I hope everyone is having a stress free grow this week, and like always, may the plant goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest 💪🏾
