Most of the week was spent setting up the hydro grow. Needed to build a DIY chiller since air temp in our grow room is hot, and water needs to be a good deal colder. Fridge from kijiji, garden hose, fittings, and submersible pump all in were under $100 but knowing what I know now I'd likely go with a thermoelectric chiller (DIY, with power supply and temp controller) next time around. Looking forward to tracking metrics and seeing how it goes :). Seems there's a lot of contradiction in terms of level of nutrients recommended, max water temperature, using H2O2 to boost water temp that can keep algae and rot at bay, etc. Got my hands on some Hydroguard via Amazon... despite local shops saying you can't get it in Canada... so I'm going to go with that instead of H2O2 to start, despite water temp getting up above 21 C (70 f) during the day. Fingers crossed. Update - keeping water reservoir tank under 20 C now by using reflective bubble wrap insulation on the reservoir itself and pipe insulation as well. It's a 10 C difference from the room temp, so I'm SUPER pleased with that.

EC Wert müsste etwas korrigiert werden mit CaLMAg, Entlaubung wurde durchgeführt, wuchs ist gleichmäßig bis auf eine AH die ich nachträglich als Steckling bekommen habe.

Isn't She Cute! Well I Still Don't Know If It's A Girl But Here's Hoping! 🤞🍀 Glad This Is Working So Far Another Couple Weeks Three To Four Nodes Deep, A Topping And Then We Will Flip! We Got A Ways To Go! WISH ME LUCK! 🤞

Los cogollos no dejan de engordar y endurecer 🔥 Estoy realmente sorprendido con los resultados que está dando esta pequeña gorilla. Vamos a mantener los valores por una semana mas para ver si siguen en aumento pero ya nos estamos preparando para la recta final y hacerle su lavado de raices para una fumada perfecta. El olor es potente y su resina abundante. Como dije antes, lo mas sorprendente es lo compacto que están los cogollos, son piedras.

Not much for updates this week

In the second Week i started to give them a few nutrients. Maybe a bit too much, as you See in the last 2 Videos. Since its very cold (-5°C) in Germany i've put a heating cable losely around the pots to Heat Up the soil a bit.

Not much to report this week. Buds keep getting fatter and still producing new white pistills. Going to tie the side branches as well as they almost bent to the ground.

Día 28

Everything looking a lot better

📆 Semana 8 Entramos en una nueva semana de floración y el engorde continúa avanzando. Los cogollos siguen ganando volumen y densidad, mientras la producción de resina y la intensidad de los aromas aumentan progresivamente. Las flores comienzan a mostrar una mayor madurez, con los cálices cada vez más hinchados y una estructura floral más compacta. El consumo de agua y nutrientes continúa siendo elevado, aunque algunas plantas empiezan a reducir progresivamente sus necesidades a medida que avanzan hacia la maduración. Mantener una nutrición equilibrada y un ambiente estable será clave para completar el engorde y favorecer una buena expresión de resina y terpenos. ⚡ EC: 1.8–1.9 💧 pH: 6.2–6.5 🌡️ Agua: 21 °C 🌫️ Humedad: 45–55 % 💡 Intensidad: 1000–1050 PPFD 🔥 Nota de cultivo: Última fase de engorde. Seguimos observando la maduración de los cogollos, la producción de resina y la evolución de los terpenos antes de entrar en la recta final. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Added net, did a bit more defoiliation. no signs of nute excess so added a small bit of pk booster

Day 69 (March 6th) Just gave everyone their last watering. I’m going to harvest and wash everything tomorrow night on day 70. I‘m not going to do that whole 48 hours of darkness thing because I didn’t see a difference last time I did it. In fact, it made my plant under watered before drying which caused it to dry too fast. Slurricane and cheese will be washed with h2o2 and the rest will just be rinsed off in warm RO water and hung up. Before and after washing I’m going to go over each branch with a flashlight and make sure there is no dog hair or debris in or on the buds. I will be drying in my spare bathroom (that no one uses!) from hangers. Aiming to keep it around 60-62F and 50-60 RH. Hoping for that 10-12 day dry. I wanted to do a full plant hang but the tent got pretty dirty and I would feel more comfortable just cutting and rinsing everything off branch by branch. I’m going to try my best to keep the full plant intact. Got my humidifier hooked up and running RO water because with tap water it deposits calcium and lime all over the buds and walls. For air flow I’m just indirectly running a small usb fan. I’m not worried about air flow in the bathroom honestly. It stays nice and breezy down there anyway. Got the food grade peroxide and RO water to wash up the slurricane and cheese. Everything except for the cheese and garlic#1 is looking more than done. Trichomes all look pretty well done. Some of them have even burst open. Smells are all super ripe and mature too. Can’t wait to smell each individually in jars. Next week I will recap what went wrong and what I will do differently next time to keep it from happening again. (Day 70F) Just got everything chopped, washed and hanging. The vast majority of the PM was washed out but I can still see very small amounts. When they dry out I can shake the branches a bit to get the rest off. At very least it’s sterile now. There is no question I lost some potency while washing but the amount is negligible for a much cleaner product. I could see lots of dirt and other debris float to the surface of the water after being washed. And no those are not trichomes, those sink to the bottom. I could put that nasty water through a bubble bag and wouldn’t get all that much. Although it probably does remove a lot of the actual trichomes heads. I’ll have to check with the microscope. Everything is rigged up for a nice slow dry. Temp is sitting at 64 and RH is at a nice 60%.

They’re growing well. Some lower leaves fade so I just pluck them off. The buds are all maturing at this point. Cannacheese is the largest lady and she drinks 2 L of water every other day, it’s almost hard to keep up with her. All the others are forming nice healthy buds. Pink kush is turning out to be the smallest of the bunch but her color is so nice! Her buds are still a little smaller than what I’m used to but I’m not surprised tbh I knew she’d likely be a smaller yield. Can’t wait to harvest!!

Targona: 36 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 Fifth week of growth of my Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 Nutrients: I use Advanced Hydroponics Of Holland nutrients - three basic components, still according to the table for growth and flowering, I only change the dosage according to the plant phase 💓 - - Dutch fertilizer Formula 1 Grow - supplies the plant with substances necessary for the perfect development of roots, stem and leaves; intended for the growth phase 🌾 - Dutch fertilizer Formula 2 Bloom - contains a large amount of nutrients necessary for rapid growth and fruit development, supplies the plant with energy; intended for the flowering phase 🌸🌿 - Dutch fertilizer Formula 3 Micro - increases oxygen intake, improves plant immunity, ensures better absorption of nutrients; intended for the growth and flowering phase 🌴 --------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------ Plagron Power Roots - Root Stimulator Plagron Roots is a biological root stimulator that supports the formation of the root system. I use it until the fifth week of growth 🍃🍃 - I fertilize for the last time in the fifth week of plant growth - this week I fertilize for the last time. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------- BioBizz Calmag - The special Calmag supplement was designed for professional and hobby growers who need to supply their plants with calcium and magnesium in organic quality for a long time or immediately. The 100% organic 💩💩 and certified BioBizz Calmag product is made of calcium carbonate and magnesium sulfate supplemented with humic acid. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------- BioBizz Bio pH - is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which occurs naturally in citrus fruits 🍋🍋 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- During the flowering period, I add stimulants: - JUNGLE X Environ is a highly effective complex preparation for stimulating flower formation. 🌸🏵️ - Bud Candy - carbohydrates for my girls 🍭🍭🍭 General: Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 - The girl is beautiful. I have to keep an eye on her 😁. She has grown to a considerable height - for an Indica dominant she is really very tall, she has outgrown all her sisters by a large chunk. She is strong and so far responds well to nutrients, the stem and branches are thick and the leaves are still beautifully green, strong and large Training: This week I did LST on the adult young branches by attaching them to the edges of the flowerpot with string, just like the others. There was no need to defoliate, the girl is not leafy at all, so at this time I only occasionally cut off a leaf that is blocking and shading 💚🌞🌞 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 25 cm between the light and the plants, so I regularly move it up 💡💡💡 Thanks for the likes :) See you soon 😍😍

We are starting the second week!!! The girls feel good, they are growing like crazy. Tomorrow we will transplant them into larger pots (10 l). I also increase the fertilizer dose to 2 ml/l. Maybe I'll start LST training this week. I still keep the lamps at 30 cm, but I increase the light power to 70%. I'm full of enthusiasm, keep it up! Thank you for all the likes and I wish you successful growth as well. 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂Hello to all cannabis lovers🤩. The girls have already been transplanted into 10-liter pots. I replanted them yesterday, but I only took photos today. Thanks to valuable advice from @Crashoverite, three days ago I stopped fertilizing and watered the plants with clean water. Thank you very much !!! 🙏🤪😁

Do you want to grow rock hard buds like a stone? Pick this one! Since the beginning she was the leader, and she still is... Never seen buds that hard, should yield a lot. This is an older strain with skunk, Orange parents, smells interesting and should give a smooth smoke. Perhaps 150 dry, we will see. Edit: wow, the upper buds showed some signs of dark amber, so i did a partial harvest haha. Better to check the trichomes. .. I will leave the rest for 2 weeks and we are good to go!

They are growing so fast, I’m in love lol I bought Hydroguard because I was losing the battle with hydrogen Peroxide and I’m so glad I did the change, I no longer have root rot, I highly recomend Hydroguard.

to be updated soon
