Mid flower

Tranfered the plants to a bigger tent and will give them 1 or 2 more weeks before i switch to flower. Light is set to 75% at 60 cm of the canopy.

geeze these are some tall ladies. 2 didnt take well to my LST strategy, and are crazy tall for a closet grow. hopefully they just keep budding and dont get any taller. they look great. doing a proper ph balance to my nute/water feed is all the difference. Adding very little PH up, and Im having zero nute defficiency/issues. leaves are green and flat to the tips, looking gorgeous. Im very excited as my ph issue has plagued me on all my previous grows, causing stress & hermies. everything looks beautiful right now.

Day 52: Trained them. Sprayed them with nutrients and essential oils. Light intensity: 25klux 350PPF

Weekly update. Sorry it was a late update this week I was out of town (Bizcon2024). Wow have they grown, I'd say doubling in size. I've upped the watering to 1000ml daily, this week I'll do a major defoliation and lollipoping. All in all Happy Growing

Week 12 in the garden, and it's time for some serious plant pampering! The ladies got a trimming fit for royalty, and even a leafy lollipop treat – because who says plants can't enjoy a little sweetness in their lives? With the flipping of the plants just around the corner, it's like the calm before the botanical storm. I can almost hear the plants whispering among themselves, "Get ready, folks, it's about to get real in here!" As I prepare for the flip next week, I can't help but marvel at how far my green companions have come. From tiny seeds to leafy giants, it's been a journey filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of growth. So, here's to Week 12 – a week of trimming, lollipops, and anticipation for the flip. Stay tuned for more leafy adventures as we enter the next chapter of the garden saga! 🌿🍭

Using a Rhaspberry Pi 4 to automate the watering and a TP-link 105 smart plug to automate the Viparspectra P2000 LED grow light. You can see how I automated it here: https://hackaday.io/project/188129-rhaspberry-pi4-basic-watering-system-for-balcony Basically, this is an "Automated Watering how-to Guide for Dummies" - as simple as technically possible. You still require some basic command line expertise, but the steps have been proven and I provide links to the gear I used AND the Node Red code, making this EASIER than anything else I've seen online.

First day went as expected. I put the paper towel in a small see-thru plastic container and put it on the table. With a bit of water and the seeds in side, the germination has now started! Day 2 no progression, moved the tray into my furnace room (pitch black and warm) Day 3 major progression. I got them out and started to prep the jiffy pellets. Shortly after I transferred the roughly half inch tarp roots with seeds into the jiffy pellets, root down, seed up, slightly covered with dirt. I soaked them in water (like a beginner i overwatered heavily knowing what I know now). I placed them back in the tray and put them at a window for light. (Note) the plan was to do outdoor so no light or tent was ordered at this point. Day 4-7 not much progression seeing as the clouds and rain showed up...

i am so so close what do you thinks guys ?

War schwerfällig als sonst mit 3 tage keimen aber jetzt ist sie da und 3 Tage jung

6/7 Week 7, third of flower She is just getting to be The Beast of CBD Mountain Nuets are solid and light is plentiful to say the least, watching closely for ANY signs of bleaching, none at all so far. Light defoliation she is not all that leafy Keeping a close eye on the PH pens had to recal all three think that was what was responsible for the issue last week and not a double dose of Si. 6/8 Buds growing very fast, increasing PK to 1.5ml/gal 6/10 She is bulking very quickly, so pleased. Removing Si from feed no longer need to keep dumping it in the pot. Continue light defoliation 6/11 Showing signs of Phos deficiency,, reddish stems on some branches, lightening in lower leaves with tale tail calcium spotting. The classic "fade" All signs point to an advancing condition so we have upped the PK and will begin stepping PH down, 6.1 today , 6.0 from here on. Give it a few days see what we get Not looking at flushing until we get signs things are winding down which seems a week or so off at least. Plan a 10 day flush but we all know about plans. 6/12 Another minor lockout not sure of cause flushed with carefully prepared nuets, gave the full gallon for good run off (about 1.5 quarts) to clean it out. Eliminating the KoolBloom PK booster, its about time anyway, we want to simplify the feed till we sure about whats up. 6/13 No further issues may have just been a PH variance caused by a wonky pen. Leaving the base nuets in place till flush

Letting mother nature do her thing, lol. Im learning a lot . Got my pots tied down to the deck and supported with other dirt pots and water jugs, lol. I wonder how big they would be if I planted them in the ground! Going to half to hire help come harvest time lol

Van muy bien y muy sanas Estos días les haré trasplante a maceta más grande.

I am feeding with tps one and CalMag oac one time, then it’s back to regular tap water (well water) that comes at 8.5 pH with 156ppm of tds. The feed was approx a pH of 6.5. More importantly is the consistent soil pH which appears fixed at 6.8 I know it’s lazy! However…. I have noticed doing this to reveal to me that the soil pH is very stubborn and not easily changed by the pH of the water alone. Stuff in the water can definitely have an impact. But still, most feed waters I use don’t change the soil ph. I do make sure the pH is within a healthy range for soil, something between 6 and 7 I figure is ideal. I’ve found if there is enough lime in the mix, and as long as I don’t over feed soluble nutes, then the soil pH appears stable and fixed. With enough lime in the mix, I can ultimately arrest the soil pH at 7. It’s really cool. I thought adding too much lime would give me something potentially alkaline, and maybe it will. But I’ve added lots of lime before and still haven’t gotten past 7 pH. Maybe I didn’t add enough to go further? Nevertheless I’m not interested in going past 7. I haven’t seen any issues with the speed of growth watering with 8.5 tap water, surprisingly. As I’ve said the soil pH would read 6.8 before and immediately after watering with the 8.5 tap. So….. I’m thinking the stability of the soil pH is a positive indication that the microbes are not being subjected to pH shifts, or at least nothing substantial. I mean, at the end of the day when things are looking good, I feel like I must have something right.

Steadily growing, the leaves are so big and almost ruffled compared to what I'm used to!

flush time.

I was a little late on my transplant which is why you are seeing the deficiency towards the bottom of my plant. They out grew the solo cups and were ready for more room and more nutrients will be excited to see how they bounce back this coming week. They seemed to loved that transplant and things are on the up and up just need some time to acclimate to new pot and root system was given some mykos in order to promote root development.

HARVEST DAY ! :)! - Lighters up! We gonna smoke this girls so hard. 140 gr dry successful harvest Next journey will start in 10 day. i will update here. Stay cool smoke hard see you. ;)
