During week 7 the 3 plants continue to grow outstandingly well! The BADAZZ-CHEESE and ZHEETOS from BIG BUDDHA SEEDDS have a healthy green color and grow so much foliage that I have to defoliate on a regular basis. On day 43 (=flowering day 19) I take off all bigger fan leaves in order to ensure a better airflow thru the closet. The humidity is unfortunately still on the high side and sometimes exceeds 80% in the daily maximum, that is MUCH too high during flowering. I increased the dose of BIO NOVA nutrients according to their feeding scheme and all plants LOVE IT! The ZHEETOS #1 plant grows much taller than her sister ZHEETOS #2, therefore I decide to SUPER-CROP her on Day 48 (=FD 23). This technique developed by SOMA from SOMA-SEEDS is one of my favorites and I use it since years in order to bush out plants, which grow to high. Appr. 15-20 cm from the top of the plant, right above an internode, I take the main stem between two fingers and press very hard until I can feel the fibres inside the stem brake. By slowly pressing all around the diameter of the stem I create a weak spot at which I bend over the stem, so it looks 90-180 degrees downward. I do this very carefully to NOT BRAKE the outer skin of the stem while I bend the stem downwards. Even if some fibres brake, the stem will repair itself within a few days to a week and then start to point upwards again...👍😃 During the time the main stem needs to repair itself, all other side-stems will grow more upwards and this makes the plant bush out more. At the same time a super-cropped plant will produce bigger buds at harvest time, than a plant where you did not do that. Somehow the plant reacts to being hurt by getting stronger and producing more! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO ABOVE TO SEE ME SUPER-CROP! 😎 I also took a video ONE DAY after the procedure (on DAY 49), in order to show how resilient the plant is and how much she immediately repairs herself. Already then the main top has turned and points upwards to the light again, ITS FANTASTIC TO SEE! Simply a miracle plant...

Black Runtz from Weed Seeds Express is a real showstopper, with its deep purple buds practically dripping in frosty trichomes. The aroma is a mouthwatering mix of sweet and spicy, with hints of grape and berry. But what really sets Black Runtz apart is its striking appearance. As it matures, the leaves fade to black, creating a beautiful contrast with the sparkling trichomes. And let's not forget the calyxes – they turn black too, adding to the strain's unique and exotic look. Black Runtz delivers a powerful punch of relaxation and euphoria that'll melt away stress and leave you feeling amazing. If you're looking for a top-shelf strain that's both beautiful and potent, Black Runtz is a must-try. I recently upgraded to the GrowPro Solutions Under Canopy lights, and wow, what a difference! The colors on my plants are seriously popping – they look so vibrant. Plus, I think it really helped them finish strong. If you're looking to boost your grow, I'd definitely recommend checking these out.

- Week 6 - ----- Day 36 ----- No feeding today as it was tomorrow so nutrient line up isn't up yet. I'll do that tomorrow. Ladies are perfect, I can't wait. less than 30 days away. ----- Day 37 ----- Today is feeding but back left is behind the other 3 again, gave the other 3 500ml of tap water (10ppm) to prevent turgor pressure loss while back left dries up. Should be feeding in 3-4 hours. 23L 1100-1500ppm (new feeding, so ppm end is not known atm) 6.4 pH Plants are insane, big Bertha has become middle Bertha as the other stems have fattened up quickly. Speaking of which plants are in bulk period, 3~ weeks left so it's an exciting time to watch them fatten up. **UPDATE** Fed at 1000ppm 23L 6.4pH The removal of FloraNova Bloom, and letting the chelated Diamond Nectar go to work on the molasses brings down the "accountable" parts by the machine I use. 1000ppm is full strength on all fertilizers being used. I might add more molassses in the future and bring it up to 2ml/L, and maybe a smidge of epsom salts next feeding via foliar or direct feeding after I do some research. No more KoolBloom liquid, KoolBloom powder begins and she's a strong one. ----- Day 38 ----- Yesterday back left plant has me unnecessarily anxious. It didn't need watering till 2 hours before lights off. What I did is fed the other 3 90% of the feeding, and only gave back left 10% (closed the irrigation heads till the end of feeding). I'm HOPING it was the plant transitioning from pre-bulk flower to bulk-flower stage, and maybe it slowed down photosynthesis to concentrate on hormonal changes. I dont know I'm anxious and just talkin out loud. I'll know within 72 hours if there's a major issue with back left. Plant looks fine, i'm just paranoid. Pictures later today around mid light cycle. Buds are getting insanely fat. **Update** Was bored. Here's some wicked shots. Still 25-27~ days left and its big bulk time. Can't wait to see them at the end. ----- Day 39 ----- Everything is great. Feeding late tonight or potentially tomorrow depending on back left plant. I want to make sure bottom center of the root zone has dried out and doesn't begin to mold before I water again. This will also help prevent fungus gnats in the soil. I'll keep the other 3 away from turgor pressure loss, but they got 90% of the feeding last time so I expect them to dry by the time back left is. *** Update *** Now the other 3 plants who were faster on water intake than back left yesterday have slowed down. Weed growing knowledge at a Horticultural greenhouse scientific repeatable level is pure fucking garbage. I have 6~ books and checked dozens of sites and there was major conflicting info on water intake. That's the problem with cannabis, it was illegal for so damn long horticulture practices and knowledge never molded or were used in the process and now it's anyone's fucking guess as to who is telling truth or is spouting bullshit bro-science. Don't even get me started on names. What a stupid god damn naming system "counter-culture" created... I'm growing wedding cake.. WEDDING CAKE? Wtf. That's stupid as shit. Give weed botanical Latin names based on appearance and technical factors PLEASE!!!!!! If I could name this plant it would be (Cannibas v. hybrid 'multa-magnum-fragum-gemmae-dulcis') why? It's due to it being a; Cannabis plant, hybrid variety 'multiple big bud strawberry candy' showing off multiple long bud stems smelling of candy, Is that more convoluted and arrogant than Wedding cake? YES, it is. Is it better? YES fuck your stupid wedding cake name. That's dumb. And you should feel bad. Still want to argue? Name it Cannabis v. Hybrid 'crustulam nuptias' THERE! Wedding cake. fuuuck! 99.99% of plant names are Latin. Anyways... back to the point... I hypothesize that there is a secondary transition portion of flower where the plant (like in stretch transition) pauses its growth to move the hormone and nutrient production to other sources. This secondary pause happens JUST before bulk session begins. This hypothesis states roughly that up until final big bulk period (last 3-4 weeks), fan leaves and sugar leaves could still be produced by the plant during a "predator" or "high weather event" situation that would cripple the plants photosynthesis for final bud/seeding production during early to mid stage flowering. Once the plant has reached adequate nutrient reserves or some other time or light cycle based trigger, it removes the hormonal/internal production/ability of sugar/fan leaves still being potentially produced out of the internode stem cells and fully stops that ability and concentrates 100% of growth on bud structure and protection of bud structures through THC/CBA/CBC/CBD etc. (Im a little tipsy, can't spell cannabinoid leave me alone...) production. Tonight I will at 30 minutes before lights off be judging the water requirements during sleep of each plant to prevent turgor pressure loss, and to allow each plant to finish this transition and get back to major water intake by feeding tomorrow morning. It's insanely obvious somethings changed. I Was worried that leaving back left plant with stagnant water in the bottom saucer (pot doesn't sit directly in the water but is 3 inches above it) had released mold spores and started destroying the root mass of the back left plant but: 1) No obvious plant death signs, weakness or other aspects of it being a slow death from bottom up. 2) The other plants did the same damn thing within 48 hours.... and the back left plant is by far the largest and gets the most "light" due to its size hence it would most likely (HYPOTHESIS) finish its secondary cycle a bit faster due to just volume and weight. Listen i'm not gonna say this is all 100% correct knowledge, It's based off feeling and "knowing" plant cycles as a greenhouse certified Horticultural Technician. Repeated efforts to grow and replicating situations that created these things over and over is the real proof and will come in time. One major benefit is the fact I WILL be re-flowering these for the VERY LEAST 3 full flowering cycles as long as they don't die during flower to veg transition. I will be getting them THC tested EVERY SINGLE flower cycle to prove without a doubt the "maximum maturity" possible of a weed plant re-veg flower cycling, just like how we know by the 5th or 6th successive clone, the DNA will deteriorate and the grow will be stunted or a lesser bud high and yield. God I fucking ramble when I'm bored and tipsy. ----- Day 40 ----- Fed at 1350ppm 6.3pH 23L Plants are doing great. **Update** Little fun video from mid light cycle. Roughly 20-25 days left. Will finish at 30% amber 70% cloudy and will cut branch by branch as they are done, not in a rush to do 1 single cut and will let them survive to re-veg easier and less stressful. ----- Day 41 ----- Easy day. Here's some pics. Just basically have to watch the grass grow today. ----- Day 42 ----- Big photo day, used ruler for most shots. End of beginning of bulk, big bulk starts tomorrow. Could probably feed late night tonight but I'm going to just give 500-750 ml of water depending on roots needs before lights off. Tomorrow will be a big feed for first day of week 7. Tropicanna Glookies tips on back right are beginning to darken and become purple. I am hoping this whole plant turns purple in last 2-3 weeks. We will see. **Update** Back right plant is starting to turn purple and FAST. Pretty awesome.

Start of week 6! Week 5 went well, the girls are all very sticky and smell incredible! The super lemon haze continues to need extra feeding, she's a hungry lady! Both blueberry plants are packing on a lot of weight as the branches are bending and twisting, I tried them up to give them extra support.

Welcome growfessors to week 4F in the 4x8. LSD, Green Crack and Divine storm are showing the most discoloration, however the bud sites continue to bulk up and frost is showing. Both Mandarin dreams strains, 4 of pheno 1 and 2 of pheno 2 all look good, with a bit of discoloration starting to show. A bit of defoliation and removal of any dead leaves. Not much else to say, they look happy and a bulking up nicely. Tune in next week growfessors for another episode 👽🌳💚

This round is going great, I didn't top them the extra time and they have just absolutely loved it. Supercropping has to be the better option. Last round did hit my highest numbers but I feel this is just going to make that feel like amateur hour. These girls are huge and thick, I can't wait to see how some of these Hunts turn out.

What a happy girl! Have added no nutes yet and letting the soil do the work for now (NFTG4+extra perlite). I have done a second dosing of malted barley that was hand ground and dusted before watering. Seems to enjoy the soil and light so far. Wish I could get temps up reliably but the electric heater had temp swings that were going to cause issues, so she's gonna live in the 68-72 day time and 64 nighttime for now Also! Wanted to include a short video of her dancing in the wind😊

📆 Semana 6 La Variegated Sour GPP está avanzando con personalidad propia. Aunque no ha mostrado variegación en esta ocasión, se está expresando de forma muy peculiar: los cogollos tienen una estructura apretada y densa, con una forma que recuerda a una pequeña coliflor —compacta, nudosa y muy distinta al resto del jardín. El plan nutricional sigue siendo el de XpertNutrients, que está funcionando sin pegas. Esta planta está comiendo bien y sin quejarse. El ritmo de riego lo mantengo ajustado a su consumo real, evitando saturaciones y permitiendo que respire entre riegos. Los Adlite siguen haciendo un trabajo excelente, y se nota sobre todo en cómo ha desarrollado las puntas: la iluminación pareja ha ayudado a que los cogollos se formen de manera simétrica y con buena producción de resina. A nivel climático, seguimos con temperaturas en torno a los 22-25°C y una humedad del 55% que, aunque no es ideal, no está generando problemas gracias a una buena ventilación y movimiento de aire constante. Los aromas comienzan a destacar con una mezcla ácida y ligeramente especiada, fiel al perfil Sour. Los tricomas se están volviendo lechosos, sin señales de ámbar todavía, así que aún queda margen para que siga cogiendo cuerpo. No tiene la variegación que esperábamos, pero sí una expresión floral única que la convierte en una candidata interesante para seguir observando. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Die Green Poison F1 Fast Version von Sweet Seeds ist jetzt in der 10ten Woche am wachsen. Am Anfang der Woche ist die Green Poison von Ihren 3,2 Liter Topf in ein 10 Liter Topf umgezogen. Jetzt kann Sie die Wurzeln wieder wachsen lassen. 😂 In der Woche habe ich bei der Green Poison nix an der Nährlösung geändert. Auch wenn die Green Poison ein leichten Nährstoffmangel hat werde ich Sie erstmal weiterhin nur bei jeden 2ten mal Gießen mit Dünger versorgen. Bei Fragen und Verbesserungen einfach Schreiben! Viel Spaß und Erfolg mit eurer Lieblingspflanze!

Today marks the second week of flowering, and I’m really excited about how well my cannabis plant is doing! Over the past few days, it’s really stretched out and has grown quite a bit taller. The leaves are looking lush and vibrant, with a deep green color that shows how healthy the plant is. I was a bit worried last week because the leaves were slightly droopy, but after adjusting the water and getting the levels just right, it’s looking much better now. It feels like the plant has responded really well to the care I’ve been giving it. I’m looking forward to seeing how it continues to develop in the next weeks. The buds are starting to form, and I can’t wait to see them fill out. This is such an exciting process, and I’m really hopeful that everything will keep going smoothly from here on. Fingers crossed for a successful grow!💚🌱

Einen wunderschönen guten Tag, liebe Grow-Community, und herzlich willkommen zur dreizehntenWoche meines kleinen Outdoorprojekts! Diese Woche halte ich es mal wieder etwas kürzer😄. Ich will mich hier ja nicht die ganz die ganze zeit beschweren aber das Wetter könnte echt n bisschen mehr mitspielen 😅. Die letzten Tage hatten wir. Von Niesel regen bis zu Monsun artigen Verhältnissen alles gehabt. Die Damen haben diese wiedersagen Verhältnisse gut weggesteckt und stehen in voller Pracht. Allerdings haben sie nicht übermäßig an höhe zugelegt was ich ihnen angesichts der Wetterlage auch nicht übel nehmen kann. Aber was ist die Woche geschehen? Ich habe den Pflanzen eine kleine Hormonkur in Form der im letzten Bericht angesetzten Jauche gegönnt. Dies besteht aus: 5l Wasser (in meinem Fall habe ich destilliertes verwendet ist aber eigentlich egal) 75g Alfalfa 75g Seegras 20g Melasse/Lab Mischung Das ganze in einen Behalte gegeben und dann mit offen vergären lassen. Da die verwendeten Milchsäurebakterien sich anaerob vermehren, also ohne zugäbe von Sauerstoff wie beim AACT, werdende sich keinen sprudelstein. Die Jauche wird einmal am Tag mit geschlossenem Deckel geschüttelt.Wichtig ist zu erwähnen das die Jauche über die zeit immer mehr an Potenz gewinnt da die Milchsäurebakterien immer mehr Material zersetzen. Dies ist zu bedenken wenn man die Jauche verdünnt. Die fertige Jauche ist eine absolutes Monster im garten und bringt eine reihe an benefits für die Pflanzen. Unter anderem: +verbesserung der Bodenbeschaffenheit +Erhöhung de Stresstoleranz +förderung des Wachstums durch phytohormone +erhöhen die diversität an Mikroorganismen +Verbessern die Phosphoraufnahme durch die bessere aufspaltung im Boden +untedrückung von Schadorganismen eine gute und bereits Pflanzenverfügbare Silikatquelle Und und und … Die Jauche habe ich einerseits im Verhältnis 1:20 gespritzt hierbei ist darauf zu achten das man dies eine Stunde vor Sonnenaufgang erledigt um Verbrennungen Vorzubeugen und den Bakterien zeit zu geben einen film auf den Blättern zu bilden welcher auch die Ansiedlung von Pilzen erschwert (Mehltau etc.). Am nächsten Tag habe ich die Jauche dann noch im Verhältnis 1:10 gegossen um wirklich alle bennefits mitzunehmen . Die Pflanzen haben das Treatment gut aufgenommen und wirken bereits etwas vitaler. Es gibt auch einen neuen Liebling im Garten: Die bitter Orange hat sich wirklich gemacht und ein robb ein an den Stängeln (nicht dass das immer aussagekräftig wäre) ist wirklich vielversprechend. Mit dem im letzten Bericht angekündigten lollipoppen warte ich doch noch etwas das ich mit bei dem eine oder anderen unteren trieb nicht sicher bin ob er sich nicht doch noch macht . Das alles wird sich dann in den nächsten ein bis zwei Wochen entscheiden. Und zu guter letzt.. Habe ich den Bio Bloom in Form eines Top-dress eingearbeitet, da wir uns doch langsam aber sicher in Richtung Blüte bewegen und das Bodenlöeben diesen erst Pflanzenverfügbar machen muss. Durch das aufstreuen hat sich ein leichter Pilzfilm gebildet. Dies ist aber kein schlechtes Zeichen und wurde auch son in der akungsbeilage beschrieben. Alles in allem sind wir gut auf Kurs 😊 Das war’s für diese Woche. Euch noch einen schönen Restmontag und einen guten start in die Woche. Peace

Lowered feed to half of what I was feeding previously, will begin a 14 day(approx) flush next week.
