Waiting for first signs of life … While we are, I thought I’d give you a short explanation on the software’s graphics in case you did not follow my first diary. The one to the upper left, as its headline says, is the temperature graph. Most important line is the red one, showing the leaf temperature measured with an infrared temperature sensor. As there are no leaves yet, it is pointed towards one of the pot’s wall at soil level. Air temperature from a sensor that usually hangs around somewhere around top level is violet, and the grey line is the outside temperature close to the tent, helping the software to determine if a main blower action will effectively lower temperature. As I learned from the first grow a plant day that corresponds to the natural day can cause enormous gaps both to temperature and humidity, I inverted the plant day now, starting their night at 11 a.m. So after the first day temperature will only vary around 1.5 °C, which is of course due to the low light intensity too. Humidity graph on the upper right is quite crowded. Main line is the blue one, tent air humidity, which on this first day was between excellent 65 – 70% most of the time. For the moment humidifier is electrically disabled. There is quite some excess humidity on the tent floor and no reason to push this any further. Outside air humidity is grey again and taken from the same outside sensor that reports outside temperature. The soil humidity sensors are simple analogue capacitive sensors which have their flaws. I am interpolating their measurements to have a somewhat smoother reading, but as you can see from the turquoise humidifier reservoir reading (in legend named as plant soil hum 1), they can get confused when humidity is very high and start to report random numbers for some time. The most important graph for all growing stages is the lower left one, where the pink line meaning plant VPD should be inside the green optimum range for somewhat perfect conditions. This cannot be attained all of the time – dehumidifying isn’t as easy as humidifying –, but software tries its best to do so. Outside VPD is grey again. The last graph is more for amusement than anything else. The light intensity sensor is hard to position correctly, and everything you see about illumination and DLI (orange and green, plus grey for the accumulated 24 h DLI) should be taken with some spoonful of salt. Any resemblance to real world professional instrument readings can be considered purely coincidental. The violet line is the CO2 reading from such a sensor, and you can see that its tiny peaks correspond to even tinier black peaks at the bottom of the graph, reading TVOC values which in this case, once they will be more than possible measurement irregularities, can be interpreted as smell. ------- End of week 1: All seeds germinated. I wasn’t at home most of the time, and it turned out using the humidity sensor to monitor the humidifier’s tank wasn’t good for the stability of the system. Arduino crashed, so there are no pictures yet and no graphs to show. I have the feeling light was a bit low as the seedlings grew a bit tall, but with lights now up to 20% I guess this problem is fixed. More tomorrow when I have some more data to share. Even more end of week 1 (I extended this week to 9 days as I cannot tell when the seedlings started to show): Lights are at 40%, meaning 40 W in total. No reason to give them new water until next week. As some flies showed up from the BioBizz soil, I added 2 yellow cards. So far, everything in normal ranges. I’ll switch the control to grow phase soon which will raise the VPD slightly by 0.5 kPa. It’s interesting to see the CO2 level started to climb by 50% during their last night and has not come down to baseline afterwards. I restarted the app to check if the sensor had lost its calibration, but it still sits at around 660 ppm now.

2024-07-23 A few months ago, I germinated three opium poppy seeds. Each seedling was given a different setup: 1. Outdorgrow in a 30L container 2. Outdoorgrow in a 75L container 3. Indoorgrow in a 30L Airpot This post focuses on the indoor plant, which was trained using various techniques such as mainlining, topping, LST (Low Stress Training), and some supercropping. The indoor plant thrived from the beginning, showing vigorous and healthy growth. It responded well to training, consistently displaying a robust appearance. Its growth seemed effortless, requiring only adequate water and minimal nutrients. Training began with topping and continued for 9 weeks during the vegetation phase. The main technique used was mainlining, shaping the plant into a circle using pipe cleaners. The plant's soft stems and branches made it easy to train without causing stress. After 9 weeks of vegetative growth and training, I was satisfied with the result and initiated the flowering phase. The plant continued to flourish, primarily needing water and care. Only a few NPK feedings were necessary, but it received many beneficial supplements with watering. The growing medium used was Terra Preta MJ-Mix, and I applied a mycorrhizal inoculant called DYNOMYCO. This significantly enhanced root development and nutrient breakdown. Essentially, And i applied aTodpressing with Insectfrass, so they stayed lovely green. I was feeding the microorganisms in the Terra Preta mix, which in turn kept the plant healthy. The plant developed beautiful colas while maintaining its circular shape. Harvesting was straightforward. The aroma was fruity (reminiscent of apricot) with a strong, gassy undertone. The buds are currently curing. I've taken photographs of the plant's "skeleton" and some pre-cured buds, showcasing the impressive trichome development. The OutdoorPlants are still growing, and the Diary will continue

The stretch is over for the 4 plants. The buds grow slowly but the weather was bad once again. The lower leaves are yellowing so I decided to add some bio-grow. Parameters : ------------------------------------------- Humidity range : 30-70% depending on the sun Temperature range : 21-30°C depending on the sun SUN Average : cloudy Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Apricot : 20,5 cm Gorilla Punch : 25 cm Orange Sherbet : 26.5 cm Pound Cake : 33 cm

So this small plant turned out pretty bushy, she got dark of the 1000ppm and now the buds will get huge real soon

Die Kabul entwickelt sich prima 👌. Ich habe mir heute nochmal die unteren Blätter sowie die zu kleine Blüten vorgenommen und abgeschnitten. Ich möchte fette Mainbuds 😊! Ich hoffe, das haut auch hin. Aber was soll schon dagegen sprechen. Alles ist im „ grünen „ Bereich und das Mädel hat auch ordentlich Durst. Es ist immer wieder schön diesen Prozess zu verfolgen. Ich liebe es einfach. Bis die Tage ✌️

its a dark and rainy morning but dont worry, it gets sunnier today!🙌 lemonade Runtz is in safehouse, almost being eaten alive, and torn apart by all the spiders(and other mofos), as u can c, but she does not give a F**k! 👊 (i have sprayed her with neemoil mix (neemoil and detergent with luke warm water) this week so i hope all the invaders will stay away a bit..) she grew well this week, those lil holes in leaves will not kill her or her spirit ! 😇👍 happy growing for all✊

Guys i am in confusion state. Honestly i don’t know when switch to bloom nutrients! One plant stretched nice but i don't know is it final stretch or no . My girls are so happy and this makes me happy :))

My auto critical orange punch has grown 2 cm this week!! 🙌 She is so cute!! such a dwarf grow is always funny, as long as we still have other plants growing or else it would be very sad..😆 I should have germinated more, and picked out the strongest.. but i had so many seeds germinating guess i was being cockey.. 😳 So i think i will not be growing oranges but mandarines!👊 but maybe miracle will happen and suddenly she will grow up to be a giant!😂 happy growing for all ✊ PS I have sprayed het with a neemoil mix aswell (neemoil with detergent and luke warm water) this week so mayb her lil ass wont be eaten bij mofos👍

☀️🥦☀️☀️

End of week 7! This plant is looking amazing. Done giving it all the nutrients just the base and overdrive to finish her off. 2 more weeks I'd say and we are harvesting!

This strain is a really nice strain to grow and if you are a dessert 🍨 person you would love this strain, tho I lost all my main tops to mold nugs was to big and to dense, so lots a ventilation needed for this strain.

End of week 10 Day 106 from
