Ayer hice el primer transplante a un solo cup de litro. Encontré un gusano, debe ser del humos que le pongo al sustrato que reciclo, lo bueno que ahora puedo decir literalmente suelo vivo. Les puse de top dress harina de neem como preventivo de plagas, insect frass y harina de malta para los microorganisms.

*english version below* HydroLab Germany – Woche 5: Transfer-Protokoll & Nährstoff-Experiment Willkommen zurück im Labor – hier, wo die Blasen nie aufhören und die Wurzeln das wahre Forschungsobjekt sind. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Statusbericht Die Probandinnen sind offiziell umgezogen – hinein ins große RDWC-Hauptsystem. Dort warten jetzt 30-Liter-Hydroboxen und das leuchtend orange Scrog-Netz, bereit für die finale Wachstumsphase. Nach wochenlangem Formen, Toppen und horizontalem Zwangstraining steht jetzt ein gleichmäßig breiter, dichter Teppich aus Trieben – perfekt, um das Netz Stück für Stück zu füllen. ⚙️ Neues Experiment: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect im Test Mit dem Umzug startet auch ein neuer Versuch: Das Nährstoffsystem wurde auf Advanced Nutrients Grow, Bloom & Micro umgestellt – plus B52 als biochemischen Stimmungsaufheller. Aktuell laufen 150 ml pro Komponente im Gesamtsystem, was einen vorsichtigen EC von 1,1 mS/cm ergibt. Der Plan: Erstmal beobachten, wie die Damen auf das neue Futter reagieren, bevor nachdosiert wird. Wenn das pH Perfect-System hält, was es verspricht, könnte das die Pflege im RDWC deutlich entspannen – konstantes pH-Level wäre ein echter Gamechanger. 🌱 Beobachtungen Die Pflanzen wachsen weiterhin flach und breit, genau nach Laborvorgabe. Der blaue Adlite-Zusatz zeigt Wirkung – internodale Abstände sind kürzer, der Wuchs kompakter. Die Wurzeln? Ein Traum in Weiß, vital und kräftig verzweigt. Und für die Skeptiker gibt’s noch ein Foto aus dem Archiv: Der letzte 30-Liter-Eurobox-Wurzelblock. Viele hielten die Kisten für überdimensioniert – bis sie sahen, dass das Volumen komplett durchwurzelt war. 💦 Forschung lacht zuletzt. Nächste Schritte Triebe weiter gleichmäßig ins Netz flechten, bis ca. 75 % der Fläche bedeckt sind. EC behutsam zwischen 1,1 – 1,2 stabil halten. In Kürze: Lollipopping & Defoliation – das große Entlaubungsprotokoll. 💡 Labornotiz Gute Forschung braucht kein Schulterklopfen – nur klare Daten, sauberes Wasser und ein stabiles Wurzelmilieu. HydroLab arbeitet nicht für Likes. HydroLab arbeitet für Erkenntnis. ------------------------------------------- HydroLab Germany – Week 5: Transfer Protocol & Nutrient Trial Welcome back to the lab — where the bubbles never stop, and the roots are our main research subject. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Status Report The subjects have officially moved to their new habitat: the main RDWC system, equipped with 30L hydro pods and a bright orange Scrog grid ready for containment. After weeks of shaping, stretching, and topping, the plants have developed a wide, even canopy that’s perfect for the Scrog transition. ⚙️ New Experiment: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Trial The nutrient formula has been switched to the Advanced Nutrients trio (Grow, Bloom, Micro) — assisted by B52 as a metabolic booster. Each 30L pod received 150ml of each, which resulted in a conservative EC of 1.1 to start with. We’ll monitor pH stability and uptake closely over the next few days. If the pH Perfect tech performs as advertised, it could mark a turning point for long-term RDWC consistency. 🌱 Observations Plants show strong lateral growth and a balanced response to training. Internodal spacing remains tight, thanks to the addition of the blue Adlites. Root systems continue to impress — long, dense, and pure white. One photo even shows the final root mass from the last run — the infamous “Eurobox root brick.” People laughed at the 30L containers, but seeing how completely they filled proves the design worked exactly as intended. 💦 Next Steps Keep weaving the shoots into the Scrog grid until 70–80% coverage. Maintain EC around 1.1–1.2 while monitoring uptake rate. Prepare for the main defoliation and lollipopping session once the stretch phase begins. 💡 Lab Notes Sometimes, good science means ignoring bad opinions. HydroLab doesn’t build for approval — we build for data, roots, and perfect canopies. 🔖 Tags #HydroLab #RDWC #Scrog #AdvancedNutrients #PHPerfect #B52 #DIYhydro #CannaScience #LegalGrowGermany #GrowTech #LEDgrow #MarsHydro #ACInfinity #Bluelab #RootScience

Day 91-92 CPK. WHITE DEATH decended on her neighbors. Mold showed up on one bud in 2 of the other plants in this tent, not on this plant but in plants on either side. Got some great advice from a grower that goes by m0use and thanks so much I followed your advice and am seeing no mold or damage. I removed the top that had the mold growing 2 inches below the affected spot there was nothing under or behind it or anywhere else that I could see so I must have caught it very early. Next I mixed 2 cups of spring water with 2 ounces of 3% hydrogen peroxide, then misted the whole grow until I had used it all. This was done at lights out I placed a fan in front of the tent opened the tent on all sides and let the fan dry her off before the lights came back on. When the lights came back on there were a few places at the back of the tent where I used a paper towel to dab some wet leaves then blow dried with no heat to be sure that section was dry, the blow dry was only a minute or 2. It worked plants looking great checked trichomes and they are all there and clear so mission accomplished. Again thanks to m0use for the help and I plan to start bud washing between chop and dry on all grows, I tried to reply to all answers on my grow questions but once again the techno caveman doesn't know how to do something simple. Copy and pasteing this on the other diaries... Yep that I can do. Ok happiness flush continues and starting to see some cannibal fade. Day 96 CPK. Finally got some color on this hulk. Day 97 CPK. Watered ph 5.8 she is so close that I did not check runoff. Got the big Banana out of the tent so I moved her forward and gave her a good inspection. Found one of the small outer tops that had been facing the back wall had a small half inch area of thin white mold which got cut out. I've added a mini dehumidifier in the tent and a large one to the room. I've never had a mold issue until I switched out that big16" oscillating fan for the 6" monkey fan. Strongly suspect there is no substitute for the amount of air that big fan moved. Especially since I added 1 more oscillating fan under the canopy to the 1 that was already there plus the dehumidifiers plus the 2 clip fans that have been there from the start of the grow. My rh is around 50%, CO2 around 1200 ppm. My other theory is over the winter there was COVID in the house and we kept the humidity in the house high to keep from coughing our heads off which has led to a mold bomb effect.

4/22/2024 Day 29 showing plenty pistils, still in the transition to flower stage. Training may help the plant grow bigger/ longer stems. They can be semi bushy when spread out. Switched nutes to flower bloom from Gaia green 4/26 day 33? Last half of week 5 there has been more of a stretch than there was previous to this. These plants have been mad with a bit of over water and chlorine issues and maybe cal mag 4/27 day 34 end of week 5 The plants both stretched. The one I didn’t train,I can see a visible growth of about double the height, just over this last week. For it being just a pre flower stretch/transition phase for the auto flowers, I am surprised at how many pistils are on the flower sights. The end of last week, I didn’t feel like there were enough pistils to consider it the beginning of flower, and now at the end of this week, it looks like this should be the end of week 1 flower, but they were still stretching.

ENGLISH VERSION BELOW Wie ich im letzten Update geschrieben habe, fällt dieses hier etwas größer aus und enthält auch mehr Fotos und Videos. Die Pflanzen haben sich gut entwickelt, waren aber mittlerweile zu groß für ihre kleinen Töpfe und zeigten Anzeichen von Wurzelstress. Ich habe sie daher in 9-Liter-AirPots umgetopft, die ich noch von einem alten Projekt übrig hatte. Als Substrat verwende ich eine 70/30-Mischung aus Canna Coco Professional und Peligran Perlite von Knauf. Ich liebe dieses Zeug – man kann es praktisch nicht überwässern. Die Wurzelballen habe ich mit etwas Mycotrex von Biotabs bestreut. (Mycorhizzae) Um ehrlich zu sein: Ich war einfach zu faul, neue Stofftöpfe zu kaufen, also dachte ich mir, warum nicht die alten AirPots wiederverwenden :-) Mal sehen, wie sie sich darin machen. Ich habe die Pflanzen auch in ihre „endgültige“ Umgebung gestellt – ein 120x120-Zelt (4×4 für meine imperialen Freunde ;-) – und ab jetzt werden sie über meinen geliebten Ebbe-/Flut Eigenbau versorgt. Ich habe es vor 10 Jahren gebaut, und es ist immer noch ein echter Segen. Einmal am Tag werden die Pflanzen mit Nährlösung aus einem 200-Liter-Tank (52 Gallonen) geflutet. Leider bedeutet das auch, dass ich euch nicht mehr sagen kann, wie viel Nährlösung jede Pflanze genau bekommt – sie nehmen sich einfach, was sie brauchen. Das neue Zelt wird mittels eines AC Infinity Controller 69 klimagesteuert, sodass ich die Bedingungen deutlich besser im Griff habe. Ich versuche, einen VPD von etwa 1,2 zu halten. Die Klimaanlage ist auf 22 °C (~71 °F) eingestellt und der Luftbefeuchter hält die Luftfeuchtigkeit bei etwa 62 %. Offtopic: Ich musste eine große Lemon Orange-Mutterpflanze räumen, um Platz für die vier Humboldt-Mädels zu schaffen. In den nächsten Tagen werde ich sie zurückschneiden müssen. Was demnächst ansteht: In den nächsten Tagen werde ich die Pflanzen toppen. Die abgeschnittenen Spitzen werde ich versuchen, als potenzielle Mütter zu bewurzeln – vielleicht ziehe ich ja ein DNA-Los :-). Meine Frage an euch diese Woche: Mit welchen Substraten und Bewässerungssystemen habt ihr schon herumexperimentiert – und was hat euch am meisten überzeugt? Schreibt es mir gerne in die Kommentare! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I wrote in last weeks update this one will be a bit bigger and contain more photos. The plants were coming along nicely but the were to big for their tiny pots and showed some root stress. I transplanted them into 9 Liter AirPots which I had laying around from an old project. The substrate is a 70/30 mix of Canna Coco Professional and Peligran Perlite from Knauf. I love this stuff. You basically can't overwater it. I sprinkled the root balls with some Mycotrex from Biotabs (Mycorhizzae) Tbh I wast just too lazy to buy new fabric pots so I thought why shouldn't I use these old AirPots :-) We'll see how they perform. I also placed the plants in their "final" habitat which is a 120x120 (4×4 for my imperial friends ;-) and from now on they get fed by my beloved DIY-Ebb and Flow system. I built this 10 years ago and it's still a charm to have. Once a day the plants will get "flooded" with nutrient solution from a 200 L (52 gallon) tank below. Unfortunately this also means I can't tell you how much nutrient solution they received anymore as they just take as much as they need. This tent is climate controlled by an AC Infinity controller 69 so I should be able steer them way better. I try to keep them at a VPD of around 1.2. I have my AC set to 22°C (~71°F) and my humidifier keeps the tent around 62%. Offtopic: I had to evict a big Lemon Orange Mom to make space for the 4 Humboldt girls. I will have to cut her back in the next days. Upcoming: I'm going to top them in the next few days I will try to keep the tops as potential mothers if I hit the DNA lottery :-). My question for you this week: With which substrates and watering systems have you messed around so far and what did you like the most? Please tell me in the comments

We are starting to grow a new autoflowering strain from 42Fast Buds under the number FBA2502. We don't know much about the strain yet, but we do know that its maturation period is around 70 to 80 days. For germination, we used a reliable method: paper towel and cotton sponge. In just 24 hours, the seed sprouted with a root about 1 cm long. The next step will be planting it in soil composed of: 50% black soil (chernozem), 35% coconut substrate and coconut fiber, 10% perlite, 5% expanded clay. We will continue to monitor its growth and share the results.

Not a lot to report which isn’t evident from the pictures. I did build up the remaining three strains to the same height as the tallest they’re getting between about 750-1200 ppfd in the centre, which seems a lot but I am supplementing C02 and there’s no signs of light stress or burn or even foxtailing so I guess these girls can take it! They’re fattening up still, always hard to tell how dense the buds are but the Gorilla Zkittlez looks like it’s gonna be the heavy yielder and might just be a touch behind the others for development. The Peanut butter cookies is still getting fatter but seems the other end of the spectrum and may be ready to finish soon, although she’s still putting out new pistils, pretty purple now too. The Tahoe OG looks right in the middle, packing on a bit of bulk now and the bud structure looks really neat and tidy. Then finally the Runtz muffin, I carelessly snapped off a top bud when defoliating last week and dried it up and it’s 🔥 already so looking forward to this one maturing properly. I forgot to put that I’d been feeding molasses for the last few weeks, just to feed up the microbes and see if it’s of any benefit.

Day 47-54 (June 7th - June 14th) (Day 49) Pots are now drying out at a fast pace. I’m watering a solo cup or more everyday depending on the weight of the container. (Day 50) Jack Herer’s are really starting to show their sporadic structure. The buds are nearly all foxtail. The chunky BAOGC pheno is really fattening up now. It will definitely be the thickest main cola. (Day 51) My other tent is just about finished now. I will chop that down on the 21st along with whatever is ready in here. TWOG might be the only strain finished by day 60. (Day 52) All the plants are starting to get deficiencies except for twog and black garlic. TWOG is actually starting to fade out with a weird interveinal dark purple color. (Day 54) Solid week. All plants look happy and growth is on point. Can’t wait for harvest. One more week!!!

You can see the nute burn here from the first and only feeding earlier in the grow. Just a tad too much fertilizer.

The smell when wet trimming the fans off is of sweet berrys, a little bit citrus and musky dank smell is the only way I can describe it. The drying is coming to an end, at the end of day 13 I broke a bud off that weighed a gram and had a smoke test, the flavours are there and it smooth smoke surprisingly but I think a cure will really bring the terps out.

Just finished heavily trimming undergrowth. Getting ready to flip tomorrow.
