D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: less then a gallon each - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong. - temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

Seedsman Seeds Germination Report - Run 01: The White OG Journey Kickoff to Germination: The Start of Something Great! Welcome to the beginning of this adventure with The White OG feminized seeds from Seedsman Seeds. Excitement is in the air as we’re searching for strong, resilient plants, and this journey has all the best tools and tips. Starting with five seeds, we’re aiming for a solid beginning and maximum potential. Let’s explore every step in detail to make this grow as robust as it can be! Germination Process: Tools of the Trade TheCannaKan: The Ultimate Germination Gadget I’m thrilled to share my love for TheCannaKan, a little germination wonder! This tool is essential for any grower who wants to start their seeds with precision and care. I noticed rapid results in just 24 hours, with the seeds showing signs of life. At about 32 hours, I transferred them to the Root Riots, which brings us to the next exciting stage. Why I Love TheCannaKan: • Quick Results: Seeds sprouted rapidly, minimizing wait time. • Consistency: Keeps moisture levels optimal for uniform germination. • User-Friendly: Simple yet effective for both new and experienced growers. Root Riots and Their Role in Root Development After sprouting, I placed the seedlings into Root Riot cubes under a dome. Root Riots are fantastic for stabilizing young plants, providing an airy and nutrient-friendly environment that promotes robust root growth from the start. Benefits of Root Riots: • Root Aeration: Soft yet structured, these cubes support root expansion. • Moisture Retention: Holds just the right amount of water for growing seedlings. • Enhanced Root Health: The cubes are ideal for preventing damping-off and ensuring healthy, white roots. Nutrients to Kickstart Growth: Aptus Holland Regulator and Startbooster To give the seedlings a perfect start, I added Aptus Holland’s Regulator and Startbooster (1ml/L each). This mix promotes early root and stem strength, giving seedlings the ability to absorb light and nutrients more efficiently. • Aptus Regulator: Enhances plant resilience, aids in nutrient absorption, and promotes early vitality. • Aptus Startbooster: Adds a balanced mix of growth hormones and nutrients that are ideal for the early stages, encouraging healthy roots and faster seedling growth. Light and Environment: Future of Grow FOG LED with TrolMaster Tent X Controller I’m using a Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 600W, but keeping it dimmed down to around 200 PPFD. This setting is controlled by the TrolMaster Tent X Controller to give the plants the perfect start without overwhelming them with intense light. Controlled lighting helps seedlings to develop without stress, encouraging healthy growth and internode spacing. Shoutouts: • Future of Grow LED: High-quality, efficient LED light that adapts well to seedling and veg stages. • TrolMaster Tent X Controller: Reliable and intuitive control over light, humidity, and more. Perfect for a hands-off, efficient environment setup. Observations: One Seedling Takes the Lead At the end of this germination stage, it looks like one seedling has emerged as the strongest, while the others may need a few more days. Patience and observation are key; some seeds naturally take a bit more time to sprout. I’ll keep monitoring these with hope, allowing each seedling its own rhythm. Grower’s Notes and Tips • Consistency Matters: Germination is all about steady conditions—consistent moisture, gentle nutrients, and stable lighting make all the difference. • Document Everything: Keeping a log of each step (like this one!) helps track growth patterns and provides valuable insights for future grows. • Stay Positive and Patient: Not every seed will sprout at the same rate. Trust the process and remember each plant is unique. Community Shoutouts Thank you to everyone who makes this process smoother and inspiring—TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Future of Grow, and Seedsman Seeds for amazing genetics and tools, as well as the growers’ community who share insights, tips, and encouragement along the way. Next Steps Now that we’re through germination, we’ll move into the early growth phase. I’ll keep documenting the lighting adjustments, nutrient changes, and growth patterns of each plant, especially that eager seedling leading the way! Growers Love, and here’s to a strong start for the future of this grow! 🌱 DISCOUNT CODE - SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏

OK, So I'm into final 14days and started Flushing them on water. So every 3days I will change the water until 14days are up. Then I can begin to harvest and hang finally lol. It's been alot to learn and take on board this run I am jist hoping the final product is as beautiful as she smells and looks. I do not there is still growth spouting and hair that are still white. However I am assuming that another 14days will be sufficient and that all hair would have turned Amber. Speak soon. Peace and love growmies. ❤️

###English below### Die Blüten werden dicker! Sonst, passiert nicht viel; Die ersten Blätter bleichen aus und die Pflanzen zeigen Phosphormangel (lila Stiele und ein paar braune Flecken) und evtl. auch Kaliummangel (gestreckte Blätter). Das vermute ich jedenfalls. Eventuell Mittlerweile betrachte ich die Trichome jeden Tag. Heute konnte ich die ersten Braunen entdecken. Es geht dann doch zu schnell. Heute ist die jüngste Pflanze 7 Wochen alt, die anderen beiden sind 2-3 Tage älter. Quick One benötigt laut Datenblatt 8-10 Wochen. War ich zu sparsam mit dem Dünger? Muss ich in Zukunft mehr auf den PH-Wert achten und evtl auch den EC-Wert ins Spiel bringen? Im Großen und Ganzen bin ich zufrieden mit meinem ersten Grow. Ich freue mich jetzt auf die Endphase (Wie lange wohl noch bis zur Ernte? 1-2 Wochen?) und in meinem Kopf spuken schon jede Menge Ideen für meinen nächsten Grow. Ich freue mich auf eure Anmerkungen. =) ###English### The buds become thicker! Otherwise, not much happens; the first leaves are fading and the plants show phosphorus deficiency (purple stems and a few brown spots) and possibly also potassium deficiency (stretched leaves). At least that's what I suspect. I now look at the trichomes every day. Today I spotted the first brown ones. It's going too fast after all. Today the youngest plant is 7 weeks old, the other two are 2-3 days older. According to the data sheet, Quick One needs 8-10 weeks. Was I too frugal with the fertilizer? Do I need to pay more attention to the pH value in future and possibly also bring the EC value into play? All in all, I'm happy with my first grow. I'm now looking forward to the final phase (how much longer until harvest? 1-2 weeks?) and I already have lots of ideas in my head for my next grow. I look forward to your comments. =) Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The past 5 days she showed heavy deficiencies, Fan leafs started browning hectically. Ontop of that her growth isn't where I would like her to be especially in this stage. So researched , went through alot of podcasts lol.. Decided to purchase bottled nutrients for this run to see how she reacts aswell to tell the difference between organic and bottled nutes...for My own comparison. 5 days later after her first bottled feed...I must say damnnn!! She exploded and even started looking more healthier than when she first started.

Hello Diary, The first week of flowering of the Milky Way is over. As you can see in the photos, the plant looks beautiful, the flowers have started to form, the branches are full of them and the shape of the plant is like a Christmas tree. Due to the large number of leaves, I remove a couple of extra leaves every week. Watering is a little more frequent, this week I added bio flowering booster with one watering. I don't always add supplements when watering, about once a week. The temperature at the Farm has risen slightly, around 28 degrees, which corresponds to the conditions outside, while the humidity is around 50%. Here is a quick overview of the week. 23/05/2023 - Day 24. Watering. I prepared 8 liters of water, lowered the pH. to 6.0 and added the first two components of the bio flowering booster. I watered all three plants on the farm with that amount. 27/05/2023 - Day 28. Watering and photography. This time I watered with clean water, I just lowered the p.H. 6.0. Milky Way F1 - 43 cm That's all for now, see you soon. And thank you all for your support.

Hi Guys. Here we are starting week two, the news is: - My 60x60x140 Senua tent, 3gl pots, VIPAR P1000 Light, and the fan have arrived. So, two of the little ones I put in the new pots, the other one I will try to grow as a Bonsai, the bonsai pot will arrive in two days, so I am really excited to start the bonsai project, I am thinking about creating a Diary for that. :-) The biggest one (in the photo) is showing some yellow parts in the leaves, is that an issue? Another question, I used the Nutrients as the information on the label, is that too much? Thanks guys, I will appreciate any help :-)

2018-03-13 Week 11 Day 1 As I mentioned last week, the girls are growing like crazy since I changed to 600W HPS,and even though they haven't grown so much higher, they are definetly wider because of LST. My growroom is only about 1.8m2, so now the girls are so wide that there's not enough space for them to get wider, so now I will let them stretch. Nr 1 is 44 cm Nr 2 is 39 cm 2018-03-14 Day 2 I LST'd the girls one last time and also defoliated them mildly so all the tops get as much light as possible,hopefully increasing the yield in the end. I also turn the girls 1/4 lap every day to ensure that all sides of them get as much exposure to light as possible, it would've been great to have some kind of turntable that turns the girls 1 lap in 12 hours,, but until I find out a device that does just that,I'll keep on doing ti manually. Added some videos for you to enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Strain information Genetics for the famous Power Plant were captured by a group of Dutch growers on a trip to South Africa, back in the 90’s. They managed to breed a strain that was soon a popular choice in coffee shops of the Netherlands, most likely due to the soaring and intense Sativa high. Zambeza Seeds thought that the productiveness of Power Plant should never be forgotten and created an updated version, to bring the legend back to live. Power Plant XL yields up to 600-750g/m² in a flowering period of approximately 55 days! The efficiency and productiveness of Power Plant XL fears no comparison with many recently bred cannabis strains. Indoor heights of 80-110cm make this sativa-dominant variety relatively easy to grow, but outdoor growers need to be aware of the power that is being released under the sun. Outdoor plants can easily reach heights of 150-200cm, and yields of 500-600g per plant. The taste of Power Plant XL can be described as a delightful blend of sweet and sour flavours, with subtle hints of pine tree in the background. Smokers who appreciate a very strong and uplifting Sativa high will be more than satisfied with the effects. One will experience feelings of euphoria that are definitely intense and uplifting, typical for a South African Sativa like this. The up-high can also evolve into being more relaxed, especially when larger quantities are being consumed. Some people suspect Power Plant to be grown in large commercial operations around the world. It doesn’t really matter if these assumptions are the truth or myths, but Zambeza’s breeders are very proud to bring this highly productive legend back to live. The updated version of it, Power Plant XL, is the most efficient Dutch "bud factory" money can buy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been pulling the top small fan leaves to allow the side's to catch up. One plant is really tall and stretchy , One plant is very short and compact . The other 4 plants all look very similar to each other at this stage .

10/13 Day 15 and one week in the large pots. Still no need of watering not concerned as the pots are reasonably fertile, right now they are busy building roots which is just fine. Veg growth will increase just any time now. 10/15 First Watering/feed since transplant a week ago Fish Sh!T 5ml / Cal-Mag 5ml per gal @ 6.1 ph Each got 0.5 gal though I fear some over watering is unavoidable this time think only Maggie is showing the symptoms. 10/16 Explosive growth, more than an inch on Layla and the others are getting it together. May be getting a handle on this. 10/19 The uptick in Brandy and Maggie was not to continue and they worsened making an attempt to fix the issue with a 6.1 PH root drench of Cal-Mag 5ml and Kangaroots 10ml / gal about 2 gal for each plenty of runoff that tested at 6.1 PH. Layla looking great watering tomorrow 10/20 Update Made a spray of 6.5ph water with one tbs / gal Epson Salts and really soaked the leaves of both plants in attempt to help these poor guys, know a new week is due will get to it later 10/21 update When pots dry a bit using a solution of one cup hydrogen peroxide to one gal of 6.5 ph water (lowering ph has done nothing so going back to middle of the road) using as foliar spray as well, not sure if waiting on pots to dry first is called for here so yall chip in if you wish
