Been too busy to update the last few weeks, but they’re surviving longer then I expected. When I received my new light I did not take in consideration of the heat output and within the first night of use the tent reached a scorching 88 degrees

Hello guys, we are in the tenth week of veg, I have had some delay so I have to postpone flowering for a week. On day 64 I defoliated the girls and took about 60 clones .. Another 40 clones have already taken root so in a few days I will plant them in the pots

As week 5 came to a close and we move into week 6 of flowering, I am having really high hopes for the end result. The buds started to get some light orange hairs which is really nice and they are really starting to thicken up! Towards the end of week 5 the plants started to show early signs of burn on their leaf tips, so I started the week 6 feeding a little early. In week 6 we bring the EC down quite a bit as we get into the late stages of flower. I also recently switch to measuring with EC vs PPM for ease and accuracy. Also at the end of week 5 I did a calibration on my coco for each plant as week 6 nutrients are much lighter. Coco Calibration Method 1. Mix up nutrients. 2. Water plants as normal and measure runoff. 3. If runoff EC is not at or close to the inflow EC a. Water more and keep measuring runoff until the runoff is at or close to the inflow EC 4. Do steps 1-3 for all plants (One at a time) Tips: - I use a shop vacuum that I stick the end in the bottom of the pot saucers and leave it on while I water so it sucks the runoff as soon as it drains out the pots. Then I measure, empty and water again until I hit my targets) For this calibration, I ended up using around 6 gallons of nutrient solution. Watering technique used is to measure runoff at every watering and make sure we are staying as close as possible to the inflow EC. It does not matter how much water you need to put through the pots to get to the desired EC on runoff as that is a benefit of Coco. My main goal is to keep my runoff in check and the plants seem to do better than I have ever grown before! The smell off these ladies are amazing and strong. I don't have a carbon filter and enjoy her smells and aromas all day long as my desk is right next to my tent. There were no issues in Week 5. Plants continue to look amazing and the buds are continuing to bud up and structure very nice! I'm excited to see the end result after the ripening and flush stages. Also the colors that are soon to come! Stay tuned! ______________ We are 5 days into week 6 and the buds continue to grow fatter and fatter on a daily basis. I'm really dialing in my EC and making sure to mix it at 1.1 EC and making sure my runoff is from 1.1-1.4. I started playing with the mix as I am getting used to the grow schedule and how the base nutrients effect the EC. I have found that doing 50% of the low strength calendar hits me right at my target EC and I don't have to dilute my mixture after. The smells continue to be strong and fill my house up. The weight is starting to make the colas lean over which is nice because it's opening up the canopy to get more light in. I'm very excited to see what the buds look like in week 7 and then we are on to ripening stage, flush, and then finally harvest!!

Week 4 (3/14/22 - 3/20/22) Added a 3 gallon reservoir and set up 2 pumps. One to oxygenate and mix the reservoir and the other to feed the plants through drip irrigation. Also drilled a hole on a corner of the tray to drain the run off into a cup. Originally thought of recirculating the water but rather not deal with pH and PPM fluctuations.

Another stress free week. I am a bit worried i have had no issues so far so i expect some horrid stuff to come and get me soon!! She just keeps taking food and getting fatter.. She is long and the branches are getting to the point of falling over so i will come up with a plan for that.. Worse problems to have though right??😂 The smell is quite complex. First its old skool skunky but then it had a bitter smell. I know bitter is a tste but thats what it is.. Nothing else to say i feed her twice a day lights on and just before lights off. I am keeping an eye and i may start to give her a drink in the middle of the day. I noticed her top coco is a bit drier then it has been. Thanks for looking, Stay safe Grow well.

week intel: we getting close to end of ripening , this week i raised drought , Nitrogen and E.C stress by feeding them 2 times per week and raised e.c to 3 to cause real stress that will help increase terpenes production stresses : Nitrogen deficiency Stress by removing the fertilizers that has N in them Drought stress via removing one meal in week high E.C stress around 1.7 and the other feeding day 3.0 , 2 times a week feeding: no more Nitrogen i feed them 2 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with Bio-Bizz Top-Max + Feeding Booster about 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause a medium e.c stress. day 3 : no more feeding this day day 5 : i feed them very high dose of Bio-Bizz Top-Max + Feeding Booster around 1500 ppm - 3 e.c to cause high e.c stress guide of the week : be patient in the last weeks, never hurry for harvest because its the time of ripening in last 2 weeks you should let plants to do their work last weeks of ripening is the time to break the limits we should cause 3 stresses as i said above Nitrogen stress , Drought Stress , E.C Stress

Die Pflanzen befinden sich nun in Blütewoche 4 und zeigen eine starke Entwicklung. Die Stretch-Phase ist endgültig abgeschlossen, und die Energie fließt nun vollständig in die Ausbildung dichter, gleichmäßiger Buds. Die Blütenstände nehmen sichtbar an Volumen zu, erste Harzschichten beginnen sich zu bilden, und der Duft wird langsam intensiver. Das semi-hydroponische System läuft inzwischen konstant und zuverlässig. Durch die integrierte Pumpe bleibt die Nährlösung in Bewegung, was die Sauerstoffversorgung im Wurzelbereich deutlich verbessert. Das zeigt sich an einem kräftigen, hellen Wurzelbild und einer insgesamt hohen Aufnahmefähigkeit. Die Pflanzen wirken vital, standfest und reagieren hervorragend auf das System. Die aktuelle Düngung mit 6 ml/l Canna Coco A + B wird optimal vertragen. Kein Hinweis auf Überdüngung oder Mangelerscheinungen – das Blattwerk bleibt gesund, tiefgrün und leicht glänzend. Der Wasserstand und pH-Wert werden regelmäßig kontrolliert, wodurch das Gleichgewicht stabil bleibt. Die Struktur ist offen und gut belüftet, die Blütenstände sind gleichmäßig über das gesamte Netz verteilt. Die Pflanzen präsentieren sich kompakt und kräftig, bereit, in den kommenden Wochen an Dichte und Harzproduktion zuzulegen. Insgesamt ein sehr stabiler und produktiver Verlauf: das unfreiwillig entstandene Semi-Hydro-System hat sich zu einem echten Vorteil entwickelt – konstante Feuchtigkeit, gute Durchlüftung und sichtbar schnellere Entwicklung im Vergleich zu reinem Coco-Betrieb. Alles deutet auf eine starke mittlere Blütephase hin.

Apr 09: Things are chuggin along, i think light may have been a factor in the brown spots, seeing similar symptoms on one of the other plants but very very minor in comparison.... I think it was too little calmag, i may have locked them out mid veg by using high concentration of nutes without watering till runoff (i now know, that is a no-go), and light stress. i have had them under 850-1050 ppfd when flipped to flower... one of them is loving the light, one is big and bushy (had to defoliate later than i wanted), and one has good bud structure but pistils seem thin, and growth seems slower (the one with the brown polkadot party on its body) so thinking it may be stunted. either way, im seeing denser buds, and im learning the ropes, thats enough for me :) Apr 12: Last feed day... Trichomes look just about ready, will do 2 runoff waterings 48hrs apart, then 24-36 hr darkness... Will try to post trichome pics.... Super excited to see the improvements from this run vs last run...!

Bonjour à tous les padawans et les maîtres jedis La semaine 4 va être décisive pour cette demoiselle car je vais pratiquer sur elle un main-lining et un LST Je précise que le main-lining n'est pas recommandé pour les autofloraisons car son cycle de vie prédéfinie ne lui permet pas de ce remettre pleinement. Cela aura forcément un impact sur son rendement, pour des raisons esthétiques et un espace de culture restreint je n'ai pas d'autre choix. Pour ce main-lining j'ai attendu le jour 24 et l'apparition du septième noeuds. Une fois le main-linning terminé je pratiquerai la technique du LST ce qui me permettra d'avoir une canopé plus homogène donc une meilleure pénétration lumineuse et par conséquent un meilleur rendement. Vous pouvez voir une vidéo de mon main-lining qui détaille la manière dont je procède pour réaliser cette technique. Petit rappel et explications sur cette technique: Le main-lining a toujours été une technique très populaire parmi les cultivateurs, puisqu'avec des ajustements simples pendant la première étape de croissance, vous vous garantissez des récoltes plus que productives. Il s'agit de faire pousser la plante de façon verticale et symétrique afin de profiter au maximum de la lumière et de l'espace, des aspects très recherchés dans les cultures d'intérieur. En guidant les branches avec des cordes et une série de tailles initiales, vous établirez des patrons de croissances vigoureux pour vos plantes. COMMENT METTRE EN PLACE LE MAIN-LINING En partant de la graine, attendez que votre plante ait au moins développé 5 nœuds. Lorsqu’ils seront formés, taillez la plante au niveau du troisième nœud. Retirez tout ce qui s’est développé en dessous du troisième nœud(Moi j'enlève que le premier et garde le deuxième et troisième). Cela formera le Y ou le T initial que vous recherchez. Permettez à votre plante de se remettre de ce stress imposé durant quelques jours avant de passer à l’étape suivante. Votre plante comporte désormais deux pousses principales(ou 4 si vous gardez le deuxième noeud). Ces dernières devraient être attachées avec du fil ou de la ficelle(ou du fil de fer). Cela dirigera la croissance de manière horizontale. Faites bien attention en attachant les branches, ne les brisez surtout pas. Soyez doux. Une fois que la plante s’est un peu développée, vous vous retrouverez avec 4 tiges principales. Vous pourrez répéter ce processus autant de fois que vous le souhaiterez, accédant ainsi à de plus gros rendements. Rappelez-vous tout de même que plus vous répéterez ce processus, plus la période de croissance sera longue. Sauf pour les autofloraisons car étant donné le temps additionnel qu’il lui faut, le main-lining n’est pas compatible avec les variétés à autofloraison. Les autofloraisons ont des cycles de croissance très rapides, et d’ici à ce que la technique soit mise en place, la moitié de leur développement sera déjà passé. Cela pourrait potentiellement endommager les récoltes et cela influe sur le rendement Dès que vous aurez produit la quantité désirée de séparations, il ne sera plus qu’une question de temps avant que des têtes uniformes commencent à apparaître. Une légère défoliation régulière durant le cycle de croissance vous permettra également de vous assurer d’une distribution égale de la lumière, et empêchera votre plante de gâcher de l’énergie avec de grandes feuilles superflues. Retirez ces feuilles dès qu’elles commencent à prendre trop de place. Que la force soit avec vous 💪

📆 Week 1, 6-12 May 2024 6 May - 3rd sprout appeared. Waiting for main root to appear before transferring. 8 May - Main root appeared on the 1st sprout, transferred to its permanent home (see pictures). 9-12 May - Observed and watched the seedling grow. 📑 Transferred seedling into permanent Deep Water Culture, 2 gallon system. I’ve always had the best response when the main tap root appears prior to this process, it helps to ensure success. This plant seems to be getting off to a slower start, but steady. All seeds germinated, sprouted and became seedlings. I’ll be finding homes for the other 2 as my grows are limited by space and number. Another reason I like to only germinate a single seed at a time and primarily why it needs be viable. “One good seed is all you need”. 🍶 8 May initial nutrient solution started 🍽️ 8 May initial feeding schedule started 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient solution EC 1.0 at 72 degrees F 🔆 Light power at 50%, DLI 12-15 canopy coverage at 18hrs 😤 Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Easy harvest single plant super dense and honestly it couldn't have gone smoother. I am debating removing the popcorn bud or revegging it... either way the main tops were the biggest buds I've harvested yet covering my entire palm. I will be growing this in the future I won't log the grow however. This pheno I believe is one of a kind and I likely won't be as pleased with a second run. The sungro#4 I grew in was excellent too and honestly I am seeing the relation between quality and the medium being used. I will be using this medium for a while. Until the final dry weight is In, Happy Growing and Happy Toking! -TRAGIC OUT- Update water curing was the best end result and will be the way I cure all my flower.
