⚗️ FERMAKOR – Neutralisation & Filtering (Final Stage) 🧠 “From reactor to bottle — the first real batch.” --- 13.10.25 — Pulled about 1L of the finished FERMAKOR extract into a 5L bucket and added roughly 2L of clean water. Let it sit for a bit to calm down and cool off before touching the pH. Sample came back around pH 6.8–7, totally non-caustic — exactly what I wanted before acidifying for storage. Started adding phosphoric acid (59%) slow and steady, stirring between each pour. Ended up using about 50ml total before the colour flipped red on the GHE drops, landing the mix right around pH 3–3.5. No foam, no violent reaction, just smooth. Smell turned clean and metallic-sweet — the kind of smell that tells you it’s done reacting. --- Filtering setup Used a pillowcase and cheesecloth layered together as the filter stack. The pillowcase handled all the heavy junk, the cheesecloth grabbed the fine silt. It came out thick, dark amber, glossy — zero grit. I’ll leave it to rest overnight, open, just to let any tiny bubbles or gases clear out before bottling. --- Final note This batch is officially FERMAKOR B Concentrate V1.0 (1:4). Storage pH locked between 3.3–3.8, ready to bottle and shake before use. This one’s rich in P, K, Mg, and micros, while Calcium Nitrate will handle the N and Ca on the A-part side. --- 🌱 Closing the diary That’s it for this round — extraction phase complete. I’ll be closing this diary here and opening a new one called “FERMAKOR A+B Test Grow – V1.” Testing starts Monday, 20.10.2025 on a single plant. Time to see if this brew actually works in the tent. 📸 All images videos to be added later — filter setup, pH colour, and final concentrate.

Started her (Betty) 1/3/22 when I was drinking and pissed that one of my double grapes 🍇 seeds didn’t pop. I’m trying to start 2 new autos every month so I can get a cache of bud stored up. Betty shed her helmet on 1/7/22 and looks like a lil banana 🍌 she’s so cute

Will update after dry/cure - wet trim - 12 and a half weeks from seed to harvest.

Currently transfered into 30l bags and freedom farm antifragile super soil

Doing great so far

Vegetation: To keep temperature and moisture on optimal levels at around 23°C / 65% I'm using two mechanical timers. - 24/7 on: Fans and water pumps (+Ventilation after 3.11.) - Timer 1: Lights and Humidifier 18h on / 6h off - Timer 2 (BROKEN 3.11.): Ventilation 18h (15min on / 15min off) / 6h off NOTES: Everything looks good and the roots have appeared from almost every (11/13) rock-wool cube. From now on I'll mostly water the plants from bottom by adding the wanted amount of nutrient solution on a plate, and then placing the plant on top of for ~15seconds This week I'm also starting to prepare the hydroponic systems (2x NFT-GT90, and 1x EBB-flow I think) and stronger nutrient solution since my plants are becoming ready to be transferred. Spreader-mat is the base of my plants when I have transferred them in to the hydroponic systems. DO NOT place more than one layer of the spreader-mat as it is not meant to be used like that! As you're cutting the mat for NFT's, be aware to have some extra for your peace to reach nutrient solution below the tray. That way you won't get noise from water dropping when systems are turned on. Day 15 (1.11.) Day 16 (2.11.) First watering with a bit stronger nutrient-solution (~ EC 0,6 / pH 5,9) than before, starting with 50ml/plant and watering once from above. Slowly increasing EC to 0,8. I cleaned and assembled 2 out of 3 hydroponic-systems which I'm going to use. I'll do the same also to the last system, but it currently has my plants on top of it so I'm going to do it later. I want to make sure that my plants have built healthy and big enough root system before transplanting to hydroponics. I'm waiting for the rock-wool cubes to be bursting of roots so they won't drown on their first day in hydro. Also, as the plants are bigger before the transplant, I'm able to fill my nutrient-solution tanks full with correct strength nutrient-solution for Mid-Vegetation from the start, therefore no need for that much adjusting later on. Day 17 (3.11.) I noticed my other timer which controls the lights had stopped working... The lights were on when they shouldn't have been, I noticed it an hour after they were supposed to turn off. I think I caught up to it early, but it may have been on for maximum of 2 days straight. No worries there since on vegetation-phase the plants don't necessarily need any sleep (Even though you should avoid quick changes like that!). Roots have appeared from the bottom of every cube and plants are looking pretty healthy. I think they are almost ready for hydroponics. Day 18 (4.11.) Few plants are showing symptoms of nutrient deficiences or some sort of sickness, not certain what exactly. I'll be keeping an eye on it. I'll be transferring in to hydroponic systems in maybe a week, so I don't want to stress my plants more than what's necessary. Increased my solution strength to 0,9 EC with a bit more Cal-Mag than before, and watered the plants for 50-150ml each plant depending on weight and size. I'll be slowly increasing the strength by around 50% during upcoming week. Thanks for tips! Day 19 (5.11.) Day 20 (6.11.) Plants are recovering well from deficiences and I just transferred all of them to hydroponics. I don't have the water pumps on for 24/7 just yet, at this point I water them a couple times a day by keeping the pumps on for somewhere around 15min at a time. Lights are now set to 60% and I also added a tower fan to circulate the air and shake the plants. Day 21 (7.11.) Lights are now set to 70% since the Led's and plants are spreaded wider in the tent than before. Distance to plants stays the same at 75cm.

day 30 video day 30 note crossed bridal party x pink paradise day 31 crossed blackberry oreo bigstuff x pink paradise day34 videos of each, a lot of photos. Rh% high I keep my terps non-volatile. Bridal rubbing sugar leafs smells like some sort of candy watermelon, blackberry neat skunky AF sugar leaf rub, pink is nice mellow I will have to check tomorrow. Dr. Thunder very oily with sugar leaf rub I swear you could deepfry with it. It also smells mellow skunky but will check again tomorrow it may have been terps overload on my fingers regarding thunder and pink paradise aromas. Pink caylaxes have shriveled and accepted pollen locations. I just don't think the seeds will be ready when harvesting in a few weeks. Start week 5 tomorrow and I don't think crosses will be ready so I will figure it out. Pink crosses would be fun next round but I have so many more selections to choose from to grow my next 4.Thunder smells like a citrus cleaner, almost pineapple front notes then a full citrus. day35 defoliated like madd. no lie so sticky: 2 fingers lifted a ceramic cup like I was spiderman. 1 finger was a struggle.. science

Right now it’s a pre harvest I took a few of the branches and it plenty left i I’ll be back with in 2 weeks or so with and fa sure harvest report 12/18/21 *update so far with the buds I harvested half the left side 83.7 grams minus the few grams I smoked already not 2 shabby for a rookie. N I still got more drying. Dat I just harvested and whole another side to harvest hope I can hit That qp mark dat would Be awesome sauce will be back with the rest of the harvest *Update 12/26/07. My first weigh in was 83.7 and this one was 69.1 so in all I have 152 grams off one plant a qp off one plant from a. Vipar spectra. 450w And galaxy hydro 300 w. NOt to shabby for a noob I will be selling my lights to get me optic 4 led with CREE cobs or maybe get the optic 6 led. I can only imagine the yields. Oan Merry Christmas Feliz Navida. happy hannakah and everything else in between

half way through the first week of flower and the stretch is in full effect. canopy is going to be completely full in a few days, scared for my dwarf white runtz in the middle of the group, itll get swallowed

it is healthy and the buds grow vigorously. so far it has withstood wind and weather. it grows in a 1 litre pot. it is more of a minigrow. but it performs very well for the conditions.

Did defoliation on all three never done it before not sure did k over do it but they needed the trim I had a lot of fan leaves blocking bud sights Jan23 started to use the self watering pots from acinfinity gallon in each pot with fish shit

Day 91 - Fed lady 1 with water amended with only Cal-Mag. I ended up cutting off her lower colas that were dying due to not getting any light. Lady 2 is fading more and more everyday. Her trichomes look cloudy with the occasional glassy and amber trichome. Still thinking she's about 5 days away, waiting for her to fade more as her trichomes look good now. She's starting to show purple colors, which is awesome. I moved lady 1 directly under the light now to take full advantage of the mighty 100W (/s) light. Lady 2 will finish in the tent with indirect light. Day 92 - Lady 2 is getting closer and closer to harvest day. I'm thinking less than 4 days away now. Five of her 8 big colas have now either faded or started to fade, so once all 8 are in some phase of faded I will chop her down and begin drying. I'm expecting her to dry in about 7 days. Hopefully I can keep the planned drying closet between 50% and 70% humidity... Day 94 - Decided to chop down lady 2 today. She was on day 70 of flower. Fed lady 1 with water amended per this week's diary. Day 96 - Took some leaves off of lady 1. Day 97 - Fed lady 1 with water amended with only Cal-Mag.

The Terps are developing to be insane on this one! I'm getting notes of Black Cherry, Fruit Punch, some Superboof citrussyness and sum funky fuel. Very sweet almost bubblegummy! One of the craziest Terps profiles I've ever grown! Nugs aren't crazy dense, they're airy and light. Spear shaped nugs but absolutely packing on frost for it only being week 5, I am more then blown away with this grow I am without a doubt packing my next grow with these Homegrown Genetics ! Look forward to growing more of this fantastic breeder and very happy I was taken in to become a tester for these wonderful genetics. Proof is in the pudding these are sum bangers. Terps are off the charts compared to my Grape Sour Diesel which is a bit behind in terms of maturing

Woche 5 - Vorletzte Woche der Vegetation und beeindruckende Entwicklung Die fünfte Woche markierte die vorletzte Vegetationswoche, und die Pflanzen zeigten weiterhin bemerkenswertes Wachstum und Gesundheit. Die Nährstoffe und das Gießschema blieben unverändert, wobei der EC- und pH-Wert sowohl im Drain als auch in der Nährlösung stabil auf optimalem Niveau waren. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit wurde leicht auf 60 % gesenkt, während die Temperatur weiterhin im Bereich von etwa 22 bis 26 Grad blieb. Die Pflanzen setzten ihr Wachstum in beeindruckendem Tempo fort und entwickelten enorme Seitentriebe. SPOILER !!!: Ohne jegliches zusätzliches Training bildeten sich am Ende der Woche 16 bis 18 Hauptnebenbuds sowie jeweils ein zentraler, kräftiger Headbud. Die Genetik dieser Pflanzen erwies sich als absolut außergewöhnlich. ENGLISH Week 5 - Final Week of Vegetation and Remarkable Development The fifth week marked the penultimate week of vegetation, and the plants continued to show remarkable growth and health. The nutrient and watering schedules remained unchanged, with EC and pH levels stable at optimal values, both in the nutrient solution and the drain. Humidity was slightly reduced to 60%, while temperatures stayed in the range of 22 to 26 degrees Celsius. The plants kept growing at an impressive rate and developed enormous side branches. Without any additional training, by the end of the week, they formed 16 to 18 main side buds along with a strong central head bud. The genetics of these plants proved to be absolutely outstanding.

This week has been great! Germination on all 4 Pre 98 Bubbas and 2 Dirty Blondes was a success!! We planted them in there pots an through out the week we gave em each a very light spray down of pure water phd at 6.5 and by Friday they all popped out the soil Let’s go!!!!! Next week we will start light feed on nutrients , so y’all keep them eyes peeled for next updates an I appreciate y’all for following my grow !!😶‍🌫️💨💨💨🙏🏻💚💯🤙🏻

My Rainbow Melon plant is still one of the biggest in the tent, and it's definitely the smelliest so far. The only thing I'm not crazy about is how big the leaves are getting. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

Strain was easy to grow. Had some herms but since I only have 2 plants I was able to pinch the balls off. Buds have no seeds and are a strong smoke. Really hits the lungs.

Today is day 57 for these Wedding Cheesecakes and they are looking great ! 2 of them decided to stretch out on me so had to tie one of them down even more an looks like she might be a little stressed out from it or might lacking something I’m not too sure if anybody can tell please let me know if anything I would really appreciate it ! Other then that we are going into week 8 and these ladies are putting off some delicious smells can’t wait to see what they do this week! Hope you all enjoy ! Keep them eyes peeled for next week!! ✌️Cheers

The strain is fantastic! While my yield was slightly less than anticipated, I'm not complaining because I truly appreciate the quality.
