I have decided to chop the most mature plant of the three, even though it could go longer I was originally going to be chopping all three because I am about to leave on a trip, however a friend of mine is able to take care of the other 2 less mature ones. I was planning on just saying fuck it and chop them all but the less mature ones have still mostly white pistils and I can’t bring myself to do it, they started putting more weight on these past few days and I know if they just could get a few more weeks they will really be amazing with a lot of weight. Interesting that one matured faster than the other 2, although I think this corresponds with the size of the buds as the mature plant’s buds are not particularly big, hoping to pull 25 grams at least from it. The less mature plants are beginning to bulk and as I stated earlier, I just can’t chop them and ruin all their potential yet. The calyxs are swelling a lot and looking super tasty. Will continue to add updates for the other 2 plants

Overview: In the second week of our grow diary "Schroedinger's Plants," the Tropicana Cookies, Gorilla Zkittlez, and Apple Strudel strains have shown varied yet overall positive growth under controlled conditions. Each strain continues to progress well, with interventions to address minor issues. Plant Specifics: 1. Tropicana Cookies: Growth: The plant height increased from 8 cm to 11.5 cm throughout the week, showing healthy growth. Health: Plant health remained robust, marked by the continued green color stabilization and decrease in vein thickness initially noted. Interventions: Regular doses of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt were administered to maintain nutrition and micronutrient levels. A notable treatment for fungus gnats (Trauermücken) using nematodes was applied early in the week, which required adjustments in watering to facilitate effective nematode deployment. Environmental Conditions: The environment was stable with slight increases in daytime and nighttime temperatures towards the end of the week. 2. Gorilla Zkittlez: Growth: Progressed from 7 cm to 9.5 cm in height by the end of the week. Health: Similar to Tropicana Cookies, this strain exhibited signs of early nutrient issues (thickening of veins and lighter green in new growth) that were effectively managed, leading to improved color and reduced vein prominence. Interventions: Application of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt continued, adjusting as needed based on plant response. Plans to increase PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density) were made to encourage stronger growth responses. Challenges: Like the other strains, initial signs of fungus gnat (Trauermücken) were addressed with nematodes. 3. Apple Strudel: Growth: Showed a steady increase from 6.5 cm to 9 cm. Health: Initial challenges with vein thickness and lighter green patches were managed through similar nutrient adjustments as the other strains. Interventions: Consistent nutrient management with Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt helped stabilize growth and coloration. Caught up with the others by the end of the week, after initially lagging slightly behind in growth. Environmental Notes: The plant environment was kept stable, mirroring the conditions of the other strains with slight temperature increases noted towards the week's end. General Observations and Actions: Pest Management: The introduction of nematodes early in the week helped manage the presence of Trauermücken across all plants, a necessary step to prevent infestations. Nutrient Management: The consistent use of Alfa Boost and Epsom Salt across all strains helped address minor nutrient imbalances seen as vein thickening and changes in leaf coloration. Environmental Control: Slight increases in temperature and adjustments in humidity levels were monitored to ensure optimal growth conditions. These adjustments were crucial as the plants transition from seedling to more mature vegetative stages. Conclusion: The second week showed promising growth and stability across all strains. While minor issues were quickly addressed through targeted interventions, the overall health of the plants remained strong. Moving forward, the focus will be on maintaining this momentum and carefully monitoring environmental parameters and plant responses to optimize growth. The increase in PPFD will be particularly interesting to follow in terms of its impact on growth rates and overall plant vigor. In week 3 we'll also start with LST-Training the Ladies. Cheers,

Welcome to my LSD-25 Auto, sponsored by Fastbuds, & Spider-Farmer + Mars-Hydro with new sponsored nutrients from Expert Nutrients. For now she's been given fish force by plagron and no nutes. As I'm waiting for Xpert Nutrients. I did add some small worm castings to add something to the soil. So, she's a lil slower out the gate but, I'm sure the wait to be started properly on Xpert Nutrients and not jumping from one to another will be more benifical for her in the long run. I see no need to add any core NPK nutrients yet. Although it will need a boost sooner rather than to late and be left with a runt. Or I'll scrap her and start again with Xpert Nutrients as I've no more plagron grow left just enough for the v2 bigger Fastbud Autos you see to her left. Let's hope that won't be the case as I've only 1 LSD seed left. As I broke the 1st ones stem. So I waited 2 weeks. And got this going with Purple Haze Auto. This will be 1 of 15 autos this round and 17 fems. 32 my biggest crop to date. All ran from a 1m2 and a 70cm2 veg tent with the help of my dark room I use to swap my fems out as I can't fit all in at the same time + with autos. My FC3000 and Spider-Farmer SF1000 have handled everything thus far. My SE5000 will make an her entrance this wk as 4 of my 5 fems will have left pre flower and will need better light coverage if I'm to get a solid ppfd coverage my 300watf won't do it Thanks to my sponsors and to all who stop by. I'll be adding the rest of this week and then more pics as she comes into her own with the new nutrients.

Day 70: I installed a Vivosun GrowCam C4. Day 71: Check the new view into the tent. Nothing to do. Day 72: I cleaned the tank and refilled it with the nutrients mentioned above. Day 73: Nothing to do. Day 74: I bent the top branches a bit to the side to get the light a bit closer to reach the lower buds even better. I suspect her to be finished in 2 to 3 weeks. Day 75: At the start of her day, I noticed that the AquaValve was blocked. I had to clean the whole area. Now everything is working again. I also cleaned the tank and refilled it again. Day 75: Nothing to do. -------------------------------------------------------------- You also like to get some seeds from Fast Buds? You like a 15% discount?

This week started with the plant loosing their dark colour... i apllied 2 plain water irrigations because thought i should clean a little the soil before BigOne because some tips were burned but it was a mistake... so im rising Top Bloom until 3 ml/l with an strict 1/2 (Nutrients/plain water) and no more Big One, im buying TopCandy for the next week to feed some sugars and lets see that buds getting more fat :) When updating this week again, the plant is dark green now, but i noticed that if you stop feeding, she will not like it, she turned light green sooo fast, so feeding every irrigation at the moment, not thinking too much about Ph because Top Bloom keeps it around 6,7 ... Some nug porn ^^ Good vibes GD!!

The OG Kush has wrapped up week 4 of flower. She got a healthy defoliation to expose bud sites, and is now on track to bulk up. She's been moved to the center of the tent for the rest of the grow. She's recharged and on cruise control from here on out...only removing dead leaves. Starting to smell like a funky citrus fruit. Still pretty light on the nose and trichome production has been minimal.

Bewässerung: 500 ml jeden 3 Tag in der Dritten Woche pH-Wert: 5,9 EC-Wert: 1 mS/cm Temperatur: 26ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 55% Schädlingsbekämpfung: im Moment haben wir keine Anzeichen das es was zu bekämpfen gibt, sobald die ersten Anzeichen da sind werden wir handeln :) PPFD: 200 µmol/m²/s DLI: 15 mol/m²/Tag Düngemittel: Sie bekommt CalMag von BioBizz zu Prävention. Ab Tag 8 haben wir angefangen sie mit einem Mineralischen NPK Dünger (NPK 10-4-7) zu Gießen . Besonderheiten: Sie wird etwas länger im Vorzuchtzelt bleiben da wir das Hauptzelt umbauen und es erst in 2 Wochen wieder bereit haben. -Tag 15 Heute haben wir sie wieder mit Dünger gegossen, sie wächst sehr gut und ist bald zum Toppen bereit. -Tag 18 Heute wurde sie wieder gegossen und wir haben angefangen mit Mineralischen (NPK 10-4-7) zu Düngen. Sie wurde heute auch getoppt und muss sich jetzt erholen. -Tag 20 Sie hat sich gut vom Toppen erholt und die triebe bilden sich gut aus. Wir haben nun mit dem LST begonnen und sie hat heute auch eine Behandlung mit Nematoden gegen Trauermücken bekommen, es sind doch mehr als erwünscht unterwegs 😣

30.07. Blue Sunset Sherbet Day 92# Yesterday was the end of the thirteenth week for the plant. She progressed poorly, almost not at all, she must have spent 5 of the last 7 days lying in the grass, and she was more stressed than not..I took off a lot of her yellow leaves...tomorrow I will dig the pot in the ground and if I don't know if it is smart...yesterday she entered the preflower and received almost a double dose of tnt and a full dose of cal-mag, the next two waterings are just clean water to eat all that from the ground and I'm moving with the bloom and boost she wouldn't stretch too much and in order for the flowers to develop nicely... I'm sure she has enough nitrogen to stretch it, if she lacks it, let her extract it from the leaves and if she asked for nitrogen a couple of times in addition to regular feeding, that's why I increased her dose by this amount, and that she has just enough for stretching, not too much… The last 3-4 days the temperatures are much more normal, except that overnight it gets a little colder, up to 14 c Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Today I watered her with 1.5g de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ added, then ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉. I turned her pot and plucked a couple of yellow shade leaves...the basic daily maintenance. 9/22- I didn't water her yesterday as she looked great and was 'praying' hard. Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ which I gave her through her drip pan (bottom chuggin) and I also gave her pot a turn. She continues to have a great deep green color that is beautifully contrasted by the snow white trichomes piling up on them! Her height has not really increased but she is extremely bushy with tight node spacing which will necessitate plucking some leaves to keep the light penetrating into her canopy. 9/24- We're getting close to wrapping up Week Five of flower in a couple of days and she'll be past the half-way point with the most exciting weeks yet to come! I didn't water yesterday and today I went ahead and Top Dressed her with 2 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Gold Premium 4-4-4, 1/2 cup Down To Earth Bio-Fish, 1/3 cup Down To Earth High Phosphorus Bat Guano and 2 cups of Worm Castings. I watered in the Top Dress with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ and let her enjoy her meal! 😜 9/26- After her heavy watering on the 24th I didn't water yesterday and when I checked her today at 'lights on' and she still had some weight to her pot and her leaves were praying hard so I held off on watering today and will hit her tomorrow with her usual 0.75g watering. ~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

06/15: The ladies have started pre-flowering. They’re also growing in size. Annie has a height of 13”, soil to top leaves. She has a diameter of about 22”, which means I probably can’t fit more than three five gallons in my grow tent. I lowered the light to 12” in hopes of keeping her from getting too tall. Gave water in the afternoon. It was a day and a half since last watering. The five-gallon girls took in over 2000mL. I spotted to one worm in Alexis’s runoff and two in Annie’s. None in Aaliyah’s. I did notice that the bugs have no brown/black heads and also have a clitellum, which are characteristics not found in fungus gnat larvae. The plants look great as of now, but I’m going to keep a close eye on them for any changes. 06/18: Gave the ladies another watering. I didn’t see any pests, so I think we’re in the clear. I’ve been sticking to about a day and half between watering with about 1000μS. The salt in the runoff is a little higher than I would like it, but it’s nothing too crazy. Annie has a leaf or two with burnt tips, so I’m going to keep an eye on her. Both Annie and Aaliyah are about 15” high, but Annie has more of a curve on her main stem and is bushier. Her main stem is the same height as the other ones. The LST allowed Aaliyah to get light on her sides, but her main stem quickly grew back up and surpassed the others. Since the plants are going into flowering I want to avoid training them any further and just let them be. I also switched on the red light, but kept them blue. I read somewhere that this will allow the plants to get enough red light to help with the flowering, but still keep them a bit short because of the blue. I have enough space in the tent to allow the plants to double in height, but not much more after that.

Una settimana colma di cambiamenti, é incredibile come le piante senza nessun tipo di training si adattino perfettamente tra di loro allo spazio circostante, quanti sensori possiedono le piante? Come comunicano tra di loro? mi ha sempre affascinato...

Fat banana for the win. Super sticky and smells amazing. Going to be a pretty good yield on the 3 I have. The gorilla zkittlez auto seems like it was overly stressed or is experiencing bud rot of some sort. So many bud sites but no actual growth to the twigs. May scrap that and process for edibles.

Plucked a few leaves that were looking at me funny ;) Not much to do! Very strong lemony smell!! Watered with 2.5 gallons of the above listed nutrients, every 5-6 days. (when the soil becomes 95% dry) 10% of the solution watered runs out the bottom of the pot, and is removed with a wet-vacuum.
