She's really starting to take off now I've corrected the lights height and strength, you'll see in the next week that I'll start having some pH issues, I'm usually an outdoor grower. This is my first indoor grow so I don't have all the stuff you need yet, I should be getting a pH pen and PPM metre soon.

Continue to defoliate as needed. Plants FINALLY stoped stretching. Longest colas are 28 inch with avg of 20. Smell is Wow! Need to get in there and thin it out... Again. So far everything I've learned from GrowWeedEasy is spot on. Last grow in this 28x55 with 2 plants was 10oz on the nose. Very excited about these 3 girls. Even the big fan leaves are getting frosty. Love it!

02/06/2025, start of week 3, decided to do a bit of LST (tied down main stem) let's see how she responds. Reduced humidity by around 8% to increase leaf VPD to between 0.7 and 1.0 kpa, and lowered the light a little more, increasing to around 300 PPFD for this week. Hoping to see a bit of a rush of growth once she recovers from the LST as I expect flowering will start in the next 2 weeks and need her to fill out a.s.a.p Update 04/06/2025, Looks like I should have probably waited for the next node to stretch a little and then tied her down as I could have brought the top full level with the the other shoots and perhaps encourage better branching as this particular girl doesn't seem to be very branchy, this may change though, will probably have to bend her again but time it better so I can actually tie round the very top instead of one node down and hopefully then encourage some real branching and filling out. Another lesson learned for this rookie. Update: 06/06/2025, fed at 1.2 ec ph 6.2. Update 08/08/2025, end of week, should have waited at least a couple more days to water, she looks over watered, not terrible though and looking better this morning than yesterday morning, will make sure she is properly dry next time.

*english version below* 🌿 HydroLab Germany – Vegiwoche 6: Zucker, Pilze & Präzisionswahnsinn Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo Wissenschaft und Wahnsinn weiter Hand in Hand tanzen – diesmal mit einem ordentlichen Schuss Zucker im System. 🍭⚗️ Projektstatus Die Damen machen sich weiter breit – Training läuft präzise nach Plan. Das Scrog-Netz wird nach und nach gefüllt, Triebe werden durchgeflochten und Blätter geopfert. Untenrum wurde ordentlich lollipopped – klinisch sauber, wie man’s im Labor mag. Neue Seitentriebe wachsen nach und werden sofort wieder ins Netz eingearbeitet – kontrolliertes Chaos in Reinform. ⚙️ Systemparameter 🌡️ Temperatur (Tag): 26 °C 💧 RLF: 65 % (geregelt über AC Infinity Cloudforge) ⚗️ Düngung: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (Grow, Bloom, Micro + B52 + Bud Candy) 📊 EC: 1,1 System: RDWC (4 × 30 L Euroboxen, DIY – weil zu groß gibt’s nicht) 🌊 Wasser: kühl, klar, quirlig – und jetzt offiziell lebendig Living RDWC Experiment Das Labor wird biologisch aktiv – Mykorrhiza, Zuckerquellen wie Bud Candy und bald Aloe Vera Saft & Chitosan sollen das Mikroleben pushen. Ziel: Den typischen „sterilen Hydro-Geschmack“ zähmen und mehr organische Tiefe schaffen. Kurz gesagt: Wir impfen das System mit Leben – und hoffen, dass es uns nicht auffrisst. 😄 🔍 Beobachtung Die Pflanzen zeigen kräftige Stämme, saubere Wurzeln und gleichmäßiges Wachstum. Das Netz wird von Tag zu Tag dichter – fast so, als hätte es einen eigenen Willen. Einige große Fächerblätter mussten für den Fortschritt sterben… aber hey, Wissenschaft verlangt Opfer. 🧠 Labornotiz Im HydroLab riecht’s mittlerweile nach Zuckerwatte trifft Nährlösung – ein Duft, der Erfolg verspricht. Alles deutet darauf hin, dass Leben im Wasser = Geschmack im Weed heißen könnte. Phase 6 läuft stabil – aber Stabilität ist hier ohnehin nur die Ruhe vor dem nächsten Versuch. ------------------------------------ 🌿 HydroLab Germany – Veg Week 6: Sugar, Fungi & Precision Madness Welcome back to the HydroLab, where science and insanity continue their delicate dance – this time with a healthy dose of sugar in the system. 🍭⚗️ Project Status The ladies are spreading beautifully – horizontal expansion: successful. The Scrog net is being woven tight, trichome soldiers in training, leaves removed for maximum efficiency. Below the net it’s now clinically clean – lollipopping complete. New shoots keep popping up, and every single one gets trained into position – controlled chaos at its finest. ⚙️ System Parameters 🌡️ Day Temp: 26 °C 💧 RH: 65% – perfectly managed by AC Infinity Cloudforge ⚗️ Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (Grow, Bloom, Micro + B52 + Bud Candy) 📊 EC: 1.1 System: RDWC (4 × 30L Euroboxes – DIY, because “too big” isn’t a thing) 🌊 Water: cool, clear, and officially alive Living RDWC Experiment This round, the Lab goes biologically active – Mycorrhiza, sugar sources like Bud Candy, and soon Aloe Vera juice and Chitosan join the mix. Goal: erase that “sterile hydro” flavor and bring organic depth to hydro-grown weed. In short: we’ve inoculated the system… and we just hope it stays friendly. 😄 🔍 Observations Strong stems, glowing white roots, uniform growth. The canopy is tightening up – like a neural network learning how to photosynthesize better. Some big fan leaves were sacrificed in the name of progress – science demands casualties. 🧠 Lab Notes The HydroLab now smells like nutrient solution and cotton candy – oddly promising. Early signs suggest the theory holds: life in the system = flavor in the flower. Phase 6 is stable… but in this Lab, stable only ever means “right before the next experiment.” 🔖 Tags:#HydroLab #RDWC #LivingRDWC #Scrog #AdvancedNutrients #BudCandy #ACInfinity #CannaScience #HydroExperiment #GrowTech #THCGrow #ScienceIsSexy #MycoPower

Hey Growmies, she has bounced back phenomenally, so much that she has gotten extremely hungry. The feed shown here is the already the strong feeding suggestion, but I first saw a few leaves with a nitrogen deficiency, when I decided to up the veg nutes to pre flower levels, I now started to see signs of magnesium deficiency. I decided to add 10 ml more if calmag to the mix and will see if that’ll fix the issue. Other than that, she has started to develop a massive rootball and almost stretched by 12 cm. Will probably veg her for another 2 weeks by the looks of it and then flip her once she has filled the scrog. She is already starting to smell quite strong for her not even being in pre flower. I also want to point people in the direction of the photone app, a very helpful little helper that’ll help you getting a good guess of the ppms at your canopy. Big shout out to Patricia at Zamnesia for given me the chance to try this amazing strain. Here is the code that’ll give you 20% in Zamnesia‘s online store, just input ZAMMIGD2023 at checkout. Thanks for stepping by and until next week!

Week 7 – Substrate Saturation & Major Recovery Flush This week was noticeably tougher than the previous ones. After showing strong development for several days, the plant suddenly slowed down and displayed clear signs of stress: halted growth, reduced leaf vigor, and poor nutrient absorption. A quick diagnosis revealed the cause: an excessively high EC in the substrate, leading to a severe root lockout. ⚠️ Despite the difficult situation, the corrective intervention was heavy, precise, and absolutely necessary. ⸻ 🌧️ Major Blockage – Excessive EC in the Root Zone The symptoms matched a classic salt buildup: • stalled vertical and lateral growth • leaves showing tension and mild droop • delayed response to watering • slightly uneven color The conclusion was straightforward: 👉 The root zone was overloaded with mineral salts, preventing the plant from taking up nutrients and even basic moisture. Without a fast and well-executed flush, things could have worsened quickly. ⸻ 💧 Intensive Flush — 18 Liters at pH 6.2 (No Nutrients) To restore balance, you performed a deep, controlled flush: • 18 liters of water • pH calibrated to 6.2 • no nutrients added This reset allowed you to: ✔️ remove a significant portion of the salt buildup ✔️ rehydrate and oxygenate the substrate ✔️ restore proper root metabolism ✔️ rebalance the soil’s pH The final readings after the flush were excellent: • Runoff PPM brought down to 900 • Substrate pH stabilized at 6.5 These values are completely safe and give the plant a clean base to recover from the lockout. ⸻ 🔄 Plant Response — Still Weak, but Improving Although the plant hasn’t fully bounced back yet: • leaf posture is slowly improving • color is becoming more uniform • the root zone is breathing again • growth should restart within the next 48–72 hours A slight delay after such a heavy flush is normal and expected. The priority now is letting the plant recover at its own pace. ⸻ Nutrients — Mandatory Pause After such a deep reset: • no nutrients were given • the substrate must stabilize before feeding resumes • the plant needs time to re-open nutrient pathways Overfeeding too early could recreate the same EC issue. Patience is key. ⸻ 🌬️ Environment & Structure Despite the setback: • the structure remains solid • the LST framework is still intact • environmental conditions stayed stable • no pests or diseases are present The problem was strictly chemical (EC-related), not environmental. ⸻ 🌸 Next Step — Wait for Clear Signs of Recovery Before training, shaping, or switching to 12/12: 👉 wait for visible new growth and fully opened leaves. Once you see fresh, healthy movement, you can gently reintroduce nutrients at reduced strength. Only then should you consider whether to extend veg or plan the flowering transition. ⸻ 🔥 Conclusion — A Difficult Week, But a Clean Save Week 7 brought a serious challenge: a heavy nutrient lockout caused by excessive EC. However, your response was fast, precise, and completely on point. The 18 L flush at pH 6.2 successfully: • cleared the excess salts • stabilized the substrate • restored a safe pH of 6.5 • brought the EC back to manageable levels The plant is now on the path to recovery, and the worst has been avoided. Next week should show clear progress.

This week 2 of Veg went really well! Overall I just continued the same nutrient feeding regiment I used last week just without a few due to them being Organic amendments they'll break down into the Soil releasing slowly so I'll amend with them again before Flower. I used Fish Shit or Fish Emulsion at a rate of 1tsp per gal and gave them both a Liter of the solution. The ppm was 200 and EC of 400. Then, a day of just H2O. Next, I gave them the MaxiGrow at a rate of 1tsp per gal and gave them a L each. The ppm was 710 and EC of 1420. Next, I gave them just H20. Then, I gave them Real Growers Soil Recharge at a rate of 1tsp per gal. The ppm was 105 and EC of 210. Then, I gave them The Stash Blend at a rate of 1tsp per gal, PPM of 705 EC of 1410. Oh I need to mention my H20 is always at a PH of 7.0 and all my Nutrient Solutions are a PH of 6.2. due to my grow medium being Soil. That's all for this week but overall what easy growing, well spacing, evenly looking, and nicely branching plants!!

Приветствую всех, кто следить за мной. Ваша поддержка очень важна для меня. На следующий день после того как я обновил прошлую неделю дневника наступило время пересадить растения в более крупное ведро. Я покажу вам как использовать дешовые пивные стаканы для пересадки ваших растений. Вы можете посмотреть это на первом видео. Когда я пересаживал растения я дополнительно добавил микоризу в большое ведро. Они укоренялись менее недели, порядка четерых дней. После чего они всё ещё показывают некоторое замедленный в росте и стресс, но в этот раз я забыл открыть окна, чтоб свежий воздух попадал и сбивал тепмературу в помещенье, так как мои лампы достаточно сильно греют несмотря на мощную вентиляцию. Поэтому сегодня я так же я дал корневые и вегетативные стимуляторы роста, а так же основное питание и поставил комнату на проветривание. Я так же удалил первую пару непродуктивных листьев и отростающих от них боковых ветвей, так как правило они бывают непродуктивными и замедляют рост растения отводя на себя часть гормонов роста и питательных веществ. До новых встречь, если вам интересно следить за Русской травкой, подписывайтесь на мои дневники ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings to all who follow me. Your support is very important to me. The day after I updated the last week of the diary, it was time to transplant the plants into a larger bucket. I will show you how to use cheap beer glasses to transplant your plants. You can watch it on the first video. When I transplanted plants, I additionally added mycorrhiza to a large bucket. They took root less than a week, on the order of four days. After which they still show some growth retardation and stress, but this time I forgot to open the windows so that fresh air enters and knocks down the temperature in the room, since my lamps warm quite strongly despite the powerful ventilation. Therefore, today I also gave root and vegetative growth stimulants, as well as basic nutrition and set the room to air. I also removed the first pair of unproductive leaves and lateral branches growing from them, since as a rule they are unproductive and slow down the growth of the plant, releasing some of the growth hormones and nutrients. Until we meet again, if you are interested in following Russian weed, subscribe to my diaries

wow!!!!! she's amazing :) her buds already look stiff, and she's still ripening :) Zamnesia Runtz auto is great for small spaces, I can also smell her amazing scent, I have no doubt that she'll have a great smoke :) the girl will only get 6.3ph water from now on, -washing :) I think she has about 2 weeks left until the finish :) I can't take all the credit for it, my Cat helps me :) watch the video :).

Been busy so I’ve been slow to update. Thinking 3 weeks until I can chop. Gonna be a much smaller harvest than I’d like (thinking/hoping for at least 2-3 ounces) but from what I’ve seen just getting to your harvest on your first grow can be considered a success. Just gotta keep them alive for 3 weeks then I can focus on the scary task of drying. I would imagine small yield is due to beginner lighting equipment, shorter veg time (coulda gone like 3 more weeks to really pump up the roots which I’d imagine would equal bigger buds), mistakes I’ve made and uncorrected nutrient deficiency. Really hoping that they put on some more size in the final week when they ripen. I dialed back the nutrients by half for their last feeding. I think I mistook the normal senescence for nutrient burn and I got worried. EC last night when I made my nutrient mix was 1250 I think. Regardless the quality is there, just not yield. Reallly looking forward to when these are fully dried and cured to test them out. Lots of trichomes starting and the smell is great!

Seeming like we are going to be harvesting in the next week or so. So we are moving on to flushing. Watering twice a week with ph balanced water. No nutrients.

Week 8 Flower The last week of flush for these two. They were taken down on Day 56, after a 16 Day flush. I think Twin2 could have finished at 7 weeks, but of course I hadn't planned for this, or I would have flushed sooner. So she was taken to the originally planned 8 weeks. Twin2 has also foxtailed quite a bit, from only slightly higher temps and also because she's having a last attempt at catching any pollen in order to reproduce. Although the pots were slightly damp still when I harvested, it is best to take them down when they're dry. The only reason I didn't, was because I knew I'd be too busy the next day, and there were plants in veg that were desperate to be thrown into the flower tent! The pics do make them look wetter than they were though. Their fan leaves were taken off and they were each hung in seperate boxes, where they'll dry as slowly as possible for between 6-10 days. I dont suffer with very high humidity, so I'm able to do this without any issues. When I feel it is too humid, I simply burp the box for the first day or 2 once a day. The slower the dry the better the buds will taste/smell. Once she's dry enough she'll be trimmed and jarred for curing. It's going to be a pretty tough one for keeper pheno! They both have similar but very different smells. By that I mean, they both smell very floral and sweet, but T2 smells extra sweet (although definitely not as dense). That doesn't mean T1 doesn't smell just as nice. Hers buds are thicker and more dense, so even though I've favourited T2 in the pics, I think I'm leaning towards T1 still. But in all honesty it's still down to dry weight and the taste test! This can all be looked forward to in the harvest update! It's been a seriously fun diary with these two twins. I'm definitely glad I separated them. Do you think you'll attempt to separate them after seeing my experience? Please let me know! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺
