**I start talking around 1:20 into the video** I had to move the lights further away. I stressed the clone out a little, but we're back to good growth. I think it was good that the original setup didn't work because it made me upgrade the set up. Plant is 19"H x 10"W This grow is legit just an experiment with these lights. https://www.amazon.com/GREENSINDOOR-Lights-Spectrum-Growing-Hydroponic/dp/B08JHQQYFN/ref=sr_1_54?crid=11CFSPTAQ548R&dchild=1&keywords=led+panel+grow+light&qid=1608408067&sprefix=led+panel+gr%2Caps%2C255&sr=8-54

The tallest pheno is ready and being flushed for a couple of days now, rhe others are close but still consuming nutrients at a strong rate , I think they will take at least 1 more week. They smell very much like gelato as a group but are all very different from one another .

Loved it all from the start! Could see from the rqs pot it thrived and the organic nutrients made it so much more alive! I mean I had little effort in her just had to water and add boost and I did that every fortnight! I’m so for organic now may try a one part solution next! Glad of the weights had so many nice dense buds on her and the initial taste was sweet and fruity and that’s before a full cure! Royal queen seeds deserve there place on the map 1 million percent

Both plants grew very differently. The organic grew like a normal indica based plant. Decent sized main cola that was surrounded by shorter side nodes that still had some pretty sized buds. She had an overall lovely structure. Took to LST like a champ. And was 1 of my most trouble free auto grows to date. She's a beginners delight. Her bounty was 69g on harvesting. And 3g in test I took last week. She grew to 58cm. Vegged out at 25 days, and took another 50 to flower. As I kept a steady temperature throughout their entire life(s), (especially pre flower) there was no unwanted stretching in all my plants. She was very compact allowing the light to reach every part of the plant, done some light lollipoppoing during and before pre flower, not much, as there was no need. She took a lovely natural shape, and with LST. It allowed me to put all buds into the light. And she gave me some seriously lovely bud. I've no doubt when I run them again in coco I'll get a much bigger yield. But 10☆ all the way. The Synthetic. She grew totally differently, she acted as though she was topped and grew all nodes pretty much the same size. Wasn't as dense as the organic but there was a lot of the bud was pretty much the same size buds. She never really grew beyond 42cm. She picked up a pigment mutation and was a little more demanding feeding this girl on Synthetic nutrients. Whereas the organic was apply powder twice to soil and then bioenhancer feeds (every 2 weeks). But, every week she got a low ppm feed never exceeding 700ppm (the Synthetic). Learning to grow more with less nutrients.. gave no trouble really. Had no hard defs/toxs..picked up what I thought was early fade during flowering, just turned out to be wanting a little bit more P and she settled down. Again, Took to LST really well. And was no trouble. Really easier growers, both girls. ROUND UP OF BOTH PHENOS (Organic Synthetic) Both girls, may have differed in the way they grew. But, if you put both strains together, as they are, (uncured) there is no way I'd be able to tell the difference if I done a blind taste/smell test. Both girls gave roughly 115g in 75 days. They both have deep long orange pistils with very tight buds that are packed with flavours galore, and very sticky and stinky. Mainly berries (blackcurrant) at the moment has a grip on them with hints of pine with a citrus undertone. We will see if their profile changes much with a nice long cure. I should have a smoke report in before contest closes to give a true measure of these ladies. Shows how solid and steady these phenos are, as they are so closely in smell, taste and so on. Is a testament of good genes and Dutchs hard work to make all phenos more or less be similar. So, any beginner would have a very good experience growing these type of auto. Can't wait to try more from Dutch-Passion. And, you can get the same results, or near the same tasres/smells and big quality. EQUIPMENT USED. I used a 100w mainly to do these girls. I was swapping around in their early stages of life, trying to give them a higher ppfd. But, been hit with fungus gnats hampered me, by doing this. So, sadly they were only given a 100w mainly for most of their flowering life. They did get a dose of my FC 3000 from marshydro but, not enough time under it to do anything substantial. But, I'm sure it did have some impact on these. As most of my autos came out a little airy whereas these 2 phenos are nice and dense. The Synthetic was dry after 7 days. The organic took a day longer to be fully dry. Everything has been put to the cure. And smoke reports will soon follow with pictures of cured bud.

I used some lollipopping to boost the growth of the main colas. In the first 3 pics above you can see the difference between the two different sized pots. The 20 lt ones have more space to grow and produce a more branched and complex structure.

10. Woche Ich finde sie sieht soweit gut aus, denke sie braucht im Vergleich zu den anderen Ladys noch ne Woche mehr Zeit habe ich so das Gefühl, auch wenn ich rein nach der Optik gehe. Alles gut, ich habe kein Stress und lass Pink Runtz Auto die Zeit, die sie braucht. Damit sie auf den letzten Metern noch mal einen ordentlichen Schub machen kann 😄

Everything goes more purple during this 5th week!! Devil cream is developing bud quickly and she is definitely the most rapid plant I’ve ever grow till now. Since I put her outside she was attacked by different kinds of pest, but she is like a rock and seems don’t have problems with them, however I removed 2 or 3 damaged leaves. I’m using neem oil on the soil to avoid bread flies and I washed the leaves with marseille soap, seems working great! Purple is spreading more and more and she is super lovely to see ❤️ It is funny to see differences between same strain plants grown in the same environment, this one is tall and is developing dark purple buds, second one and third one have light purple mixed with green buds with beautiful pink and purple pistils while the last one is totally green and very short Compared to its sisters!! I’m falling in love with these amazing colors and we are just at the start 💪🔥

Report on week 3 of veg: I lower the RH to 50-55% while the RM stays relatively on the higher range: 27-29C daytime and 18-22 at night. I had nice visual on the 6th node of BB3, Larry Bird and Gelato plants and few cm. to avoid any eventual stem splitting, so i topped them. I guess the Gorilla will be ready for topping by tomorrow. Unfortunately i have to work with hard water so i have to keep constant eye on the water's EC. For this reason and from personal experience i wont increase the nutrients dosage any time before flowering. The high percentage of worm castings is doing wonders and help me a lot with the substrate's maintance. I did some runoff water measurements and end up with the following values: Gorilla had 2.75EC and 6.5pH, Gelato got 2.70/6.6, Larry 2.85/6.7 and BB 2.20/6.9. Substrate pH is 7.0. Once again, I have to say that Sunmaster's Dual Spectrum HPS are indeed super powerful lamps. I added another clip-fan to ensure a nice breeze around the plants. I will follow the general rule of thumb and give the plants 10-14 days to recover from the HST. Once i week i spray the plants with foliar iron-based nutrient solution👊 (Plagron Vita Race). It boosts the photosynthesis, plus it washes and cleans the leaves. P.s. only the Larry Bird is topped on the pictures. I topped other two today, but i didnt want to switch-off the lights in order to take pictures. Peace!

Good day, everyone!!! My Phoenix still in VEG. Looks great, I made Main-lining this time, the plant looks like octopus :) I use Grow Powder Green House Feeding + Hybrid powder. ( one by one). It is enough for now. The Phoenix looks more sativa dominant, already about 35cm . Two times a week I add extra CalMag . Please check the pictures and this week short video.

01/19 - Both ladies had a bucket change today ... and afterwards had to endure haircuts... Upped the EC to 0.9 ... hoping they will now accept it without complaints. They're "in bed" for a few hours now and I won't be able to tell if they're reacting to the higher EC until this evening at the earliest... crossing my fingers! Am getting my new, taller tent on Tuesday (if the weather doesn't delay it!) and will have a scrog net already to go... 01/20 - This morning, the EC was down and the pH way up - lots of adjustments! Gave both of them some KoolBloom liquid (GG was showing signs of a phosphorus deficiency and I can't have that!), increased their food by 0.5tsp of each of the Flora series... they kind of told me they were pretty hungry since they plowed through the nutes I have them during the bucket change .. and the heightened pH told me the same... Took their EC to 1.0 and got the pH down to 6.2/6.3 which I think should be good... will monitor them throughout the day to see how they do with all of my ministrations... Meanwhile, the tent can't come fast enough!!!! They're REALLY starting to stretch! 01/21 - Ladies are doing wonderfully - had to adjust the nutes/pH a couple of times yesterday. The indications of a phosphorus deficiency haven't continued and actually GG's leaves, which had a blueish haze to them, have retreated back to their green... still a SLIGHT tinge of blue but I think she'll be ok... if not, more PK will be on her menu... Getting even more anxious for the new tent... Tuesday can't come fast enough and I hope the upcoming snowstorm doesn't delay delivery! 01/22 - The ladies are PLOWING through the nutes and demanding more every day... this is wild! I gave OG a haircut only 3 days ago and she's needing another one... leaves lying on leaves creating puddles overnight... not good! GG doesn't seem to have that problem so she's going to stay away from the defol scissors.... both of them are racing upwards and the situation is getting desperate for a SCROG net... if I do nothing else on Tuesday but get the new tent up, set up the net and lollipop these babies, I don't care... it HAS to be done! Hurry up, Tuesday! Can't you come tomorrow instead?! Sigh.... 01/23 - Know what I really REALLY love?! I love learning... and you know how I learn the BEST? By making mistakes!! You just don't learn from your successes!! And I learned something today that was really valuable! I learned that I don't have to go into panic mode when I lose power.... know how I learned that? When I opened the tent this morning to check on these ladies, measure their EC and pH and see how much water they'd consumed, I found out GG's pump wasn't connected!! I hadn't remembered to plug it back in yesterday morning when I was finished with that task! So her pump had been off for 24 hours... and not a peep from her. Now I know. Now I know! Tomorrow can't come fast enough for me OR the ladies... as you can see in the photos, GG is doing an amazing stretch and I've GOT to get that scrog net on her (I've already started lollipopping in anticipation)... HAVE to get those lights raised! Neither of which I can do in the present set-up... I need that new tent!!! I won't update this tomorrow until I've got the new set up and can show y'all... well... that is, IF the tent is delivered tomorrow! Raging snow storm today.... Sigh... 01/25 - Yesterday was consumed with getting this tent up and the ladies into their new home. I'm incredibly impressed with @ACInfinityINC.. their tents are just incredible! My old tent wasn't all that old but too short for me now that I'm growing in DWC so I ordered their CloudLab642 and can't believe the improvements that have been made - and I didn't think they needed ANY improvement! From the zipper guard that hides the zipper to make sure there are NO light leaks to the straps that hold the bottom "tray" in place, they just keep thinking of better ways to do things. And I may be daft but it seems this is even sturdier than my old one - and my old one was incredibly sturdy!! I wouldn't even CONSIDER any other tent... and I'm hoping to get their new light for a 2x4 tent when they release it.. (240W!!!!) because if their tents are any indication, everything this company touches is absolute gold - and should be the gold standard for growers everywhere. Love them! AND it's got my cat's stamp of approval! :-D (Now to get the mounting bars up... should have read those instructions before I put up the tent but no matter... my fault!) - oh yeah, the plants are doing great, too! LOL!

Days 35-42 (Day 36) Some minor problems starting to arise here. A few times this week it got up to 90+ degrees which I think may have caused a bit of heat stress in some of the plants. I’m seeing a bit of cupping/crinkles on some of the fan leaves and some of the new growth is looking pretty gnarled and twisted. I hear windburn can cause this too so I’m turning my fans down to low speed. This could also be a problem with humidity so I’m going to turn off my humidifier, dim the lights and raise them. During my last feeding I mulched in some worm castings but it seems like they’re keeping the soil/coco from drying out. Pots are still decently heavy and even the surface is still quite moist but they aren’t showing any major signs of overwatering. I figure it will only be a few weeks before the castings break down so I will just leave it. A few of the plants are starting to show yellowing leaf tips which is probably some kind of micro nutrient lockout from my PH being slightly too high. It could also be from nute burn so I will water in 6.0 until I see some runoff. Although the most likely culprit is potassium excess. I’ve been feeding potassium almost as much as nitrogen so far. I know that can cause the yellowing of leaf tips by locking out trace minerals. It can also cause leaf problems like crinkling. Excess K can even cause water retention! Will water at 6.0 until run off next watering. The lst is coming along nicely. It was a good idea to remove the first two sets of branches (not leaves). Now I have 4-6 perfectly even stems coming from each plant that I plan to top one more time each. (Day 37) Today I’m going to vacuum, clean, wipe down and spray all my equipment in the tent. I’ve been letting the floor get quite dirty and I haven’t had the chance for a thorough clean since last round. I’m kind of surprised I haven’t seen any powdery mildew yet. I guess the prevention spray is working because the room has to be infected from my last crop. (Day 40) I was reading that you can foliar spray whatever you are deficient in for an immediate uptake. I‘m going to try that with my current potassium excess since it locks out trace minerals. I’m going to foliar feed a bit of phytoplankton at 15ml/L and some MagnifiCal + VeloKelp from Remo nutrients both at 5ml/L. The cal mag is not organic but as long as it’s not going into the soil and doesn’t contain chlorine I’m fine with it. I’m also going to be changing the light cycle to 18/6 for the remainder of veg. This will be their first dark cycle so they can properly foliar feed. Edit: humidity shot up to 85% a few hours after foliar spray. I went to top dress everything today and I mixed up the plants while doing so! So the ones I was unsure about I gave 1 extra tablespoon. I won’t top dress again for at least 10 days. Might give a light tea sometime next week. I also tilled the shit out of the top of each pot. It had a hard crusty layer on top that was keeping the medium from drying out properly. I’m not going to water again until everything is bone dry. Then I will water until slight runoff at 6.0 ph with some Dr. Marijane bacteria/root probiotic. I’m starting too see a lot more of these abrasions on some of the bigger fan leaves. It almost looks like thrip damage but I’m 100% sure it’s not a pest above ground. It could be bulb mites, which I found in my worm castings but I can’t check until the roots are more established in their pots. The leaves themselves are cold and feel damp to the touch. I haven’t even seen a fungus gnat since I last fed. I’m hoping it’s related to the K excess and clears up with the troubleshooting. (Day 41) Just ordered a wire cube rack to prop my plants up with and help evaporation/root warmth. Each cube is 11.8”x11.8”x11.8” and it comes with 16 cubes. So it will fit just perfectly in my 4x4. Depending on the size, I might order another one for the flower room where I would need 25 cubes.

So how was this week. Major changes: Turned lights to 14 /10 to reduce heat on the plants and reduce burning the tips. Keep tent open during the day to reduce humidity and temperatures using 2 fans. Temps range from 76 -78 with rh 43 - 46%. Put the plants in the garage at night. This greatly reduces night temperatures also we have been having colder than normal weather. The night temperatures ranged from 53-58 & rh 41-51%. I continued to flush with a gal of water for each plant on day 79. This is because I've been over feeding and thought this could reduce the in plan nutrient stores. Responses to my last question revealed that I have a cal mag problem. I go to our local hardware / garden store that I know carries cannabis fertilizers. No they did not have any cal mag solution. Order came in yesterday at the end of the week. Day 81 fed 1 tsp tiger bloom per gal ( used 2 gal for all plants). Ppm was at a very low 410. This is much lower than the recommended feeding range but they have been getting too much. Day 82. Normally I would not water as the pots still had weight to them, but the cal mag came in so I made up 2 gal with 2 tsp fox farm cal mag and fed their usual water amount. 👏 Based on the seed info, it looks like I'm within a week or two from harvest. Thank you for the visit, I appreciate the love and encouragement and leave a like or a comment 😘 See you next time ✋

questa è la pianta come si presentava ad inizio fioritura non saro' preciso con le settimane di fioritura la pianta è molto forte e resistente stava soffrendo un po' di caldo e l'ho aiutata con un po di silicato di potassio (barrier)
