Last week went well. She seems to be done with the major part of the stretch and is stacking on bud now. I upped the cal-mag a mL per gallon because of the light intensity. Had to adjust the light upwards to avoid damage to the plant. I began to see some signs so had to take care of it but she is happy with the environment. She is growing some nice long buds just like the gelato next to her. Glad I have clones from both. Had to do some supercropping and defoilation. Did it to keep the branches at a good level and to keep the canopy level. She would have been taller if it wasn't for the lst. Will update as she progresses. Until next time you growing to everyone!

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos y también a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾👍 Este es un diario semanal de técnicas de cultivo y Bio preparados orgánicos caseros, los cuales llevo experimentando dos años en cultivos de marihuana interior. Esta semana dos en uno: 1) ELABORACIÓN DE AUXINAS EN POLVO EXTRAIDAS DE ALUBIAS NEGRAS GERMINADAS. La primera vez que hice este preparado y lo publiqué en GD fue en Octubre de 2019, lo volví a hacer en Junio de 2020 y llevo dos años usándolo, me ha costado el precio de 2kg de alubias negras. INGREDIENTES: - 1kg de alubias o frijoles negros, porque son las semillas que más concentración de auxinas contienen, comparándolas por ejemplo, con lentejas o cualquier otro tipo de leguminosas, también se puede usar granos de maíz. Preferentemente, se deben usar semillas de alubias nuevas y cultivadas cerca de tu zona. - Agua pura. PROCEDIMIENTO: - Se cubren las alubias con agua y se dejan a remojo durante una noche. - Al día siguiente se separa el agua. Esta agua la puedes usar para riegos, contienen varios minerales. - Se mantiene la humedad en el recipiente de las alubias por unos días, hasta que germinen. Se pueden cubrir con un paño húmedo y compensar la perdida de humedad rociando agua. Se debe observar que la mayoría de las semillas hayan germinado. - Cuando las alubias, en su mayoría estén germinadas, se añade unos dos litros agua pura y se bate todo. - Ahora filtramos con malla y escurrimos los restos sólidos. (Reservamos esta materia para un segundo lavado) - Dejamos reposar el líquido durante dos días, hasta que se vea acumulación de materia en el fondo. - Retirar la mayor cantidad posible de agua clara. - Dejar al sol cubierto con una malla, hasta la completa deshidratación del producto. - Moler y guardar en un sitio seco y oscuro, en estas condiciones puede ser efectivo durante años. -- A los residuos sólidos recuperados del primer filtrado, les añado agua, los bato y los filtro con doble malla, lo embotello y guardo en el frigorífico (no más de 15 días, pues fermenta), lo uso para mezclas de riego. Los residuos finales se aprovechan, para aquellos que tengan tierra en exterior o hagan compost. QUE SON LAS AUXINAS Y USOS: - Las auxinas son un grupo de hormonas vegetales naturales, que regulan varios aspectos del desarrollo y crecimiento de las plantas, en la marihuana sobre todo en el periodo de crecimiento vegetativo y en el comienzo de la floración, después no hacen falta. - Uno de los aspecto más característicos es el efecto que causan en el desarrollo del crecimiento radicular, promoviendo sobre todo la formación de raíces secundarias y adventicias gracias a la estimulación celular que provocan las hormonas. - Otro aspecto de las auxinas es que distribuye su energía principalmente al ápice primario, reprimiendo el desarrollo de las ramas laterales, lo que provoca dominancia apical, pero esto es en el caso de plantas de marihuana sin corte apical y donde se quiere conseguir un cogollo principal monstruoso, su uso puede dar muy buenos resultados en cultivos SOG... pero ¿Qué pasa si hacemos un corte apical para promover el crecimiento de ramas laterales y que por ende, de buenos cogollos en cada una de ellas? Cuando se hace un corte apical al ápice principal las hormonas se reorganizan por la planta, ahora para mandar energía a todas las ramas y sus ápices, promoviendo el crecimiento!.. es un buen momento, después de un corte apical, aplicar auxinas para potenciar el proceso. - Finalmente os dejo un gráfico de la actuación de las auxinas en las diferentes etapas de un cultivo, también se ve la importante relación con otras hormonas (Citoquininas o Ácido Giberélico) y los nutrientes claves que no deben faltar para finalizar todo el proceso hormonal. Las Citoquininas y el ácido Giberélico naturales se encuentra en el agua de coco, y es muy interesante conocer como actúan, en la quinta semana de este diario hablo sobre las propiedades del agua de coco. Bien, una vez dicho lo anterior, yo uso las auxinas en polvo de las siguientes formas. - Como mezcla del sustrato donde germino las semillas y donde mantengo las plántulas hasta el trasplante a la maceta definitiva, para potenciar el enraizamiento. - Por la misma razón, lo espolvoreo sobre el cepellón de raíces de la plántula, en el momento del trasplante a la maceta final. - Lo uso como enraizante de esquejes, impregnando el tallo de polvo antes de enterrarlo. - 10 días después de realizar el producto, todavía tenía en la nevera un litro de auxinas líquidas, provenientes del segundo lavado de los restos de las alubias molidas... y entonces pensé que sería buena idea incorporarlo a un fermentado, y de aquí vienen esta segunda parte... 2) LACTO FERMENTO DE AUXINAS ENRIQUECIDO CON NUTRIENTES Y MINERALES En esta ocasión, para la fermentación anaeróbica, elegí hacerlo con suero de leche como base de microorganismos (Ácido láctico, Bacterias Acidolácticas BAL y Lactobacillus) que harán el trabajo de solubilizar los nutrientes y quelatar los minerales, es un preparado muy eficiente para riegos y aplicaciones foliares, en este caso lo hice enriquecido, mezclando diversos materiales orgánicos con otros minerales. Puedes ver la lista arriba. Sobre esto tengo que decir que después de dos años haciendo diferentes lacto fermentos, ahora los hago más específicos, sin mezclar tantos nutrientes, por ejemplo, si quiero solubilizar guanos, harina de huesos o algas, lo que hago es crear un lacto fermento con cada uno de ellos, en el caso de lacto fermentos con minerales, sigo preparándolo mezclando varios, este preparado es muy eficiente en quelatar minerales, y sobre todo en solubilizar fósforo. PROCEDIMIENTO: A veces consigo suero de oveja de un vecino que hace quesos, a veces hago suero de leche cruda de vaca y cuando no tengo ninguna de estas fuentes, hago suero a partir de leche pasteurizada, como el caso de este. - Mezclo el suero (1l) con la melaza y la miel, lo caliento a unos 30°C. - Peso los ingredientes. Como regla general, en el caso de componentes orgánicos usar del 8 al 10% como máximo, respecto a la cantidad de líquido. En el caso de minerales del 4 al 5%. - Añado la levadura al suero con la melaza y la miel. - Añado los componentes secos al barril. - Añado el suero con la melaza y la levadura al barril y agito. - Añado el litro de auxinas líquidas y agito bien. - Lo cierro hermético con válvula de gases. - Guardo el barril a oscuras al menos durante 30 días, pero cuanto más tiempo lo mantengas cerrado antes de abrirlo por primera vez el resultado será mejor. La fermentación comienza violentamente a los pocos minutos dura varios días así y después se hace más lenta. USOS: Este es un preparado que uso como complemento a las auxinas en polvo, lo uso para hacer riegos o aplicaciones foliares de disponibilidad inmediata. - Hago aplicaciones foliares en plántulas, en las primeras semanas de vida. - Lo uso al comienzo de la etapa de crecimiento vegetativo en conjunto con agua de coco. - Riego con este preparado después de hacer cortes apicales. - Lo vuelvo a usar en riego en conjunto con el agua de coco al comienzo de la floración, y esta es la última vez que lo uso en un cultivo. Una señal inequívoca de la actuación de las hormonas, es que las plantas son más susceptibles al fototropismo, esto se traduce en una respuesta mayor a la incidencia lumínica, las plantas, sus hojas y brotes se inclinan y se dirigen hacia la mayor fuente de luz. Yo lo he visto muchas veces después de aplicar auxinas. y esto es todo por hoy... 😅 Hasta la próxima semana... GRACIAS POR ESTAR AHÍ, CULTIVADORES!!🖐️👨‍🌾💧💦🌞💡 =================================

This strain is just incredible, perfect indica high with a sativa sidenote It grows strong and is quite resistent to mold. All plants were done after about 60 days of flowering. First time i used a tumble trimmer and it works perfectly. I didn't check PH or EC at all

This week was a busy one in the gardens! After a 7 day dry my harvest from last week was ready to come down! It did dry out a little quicker than I'd like, but still went in the jar around 57% and still smells really terpy and not like hay. I kept the humidity around 50-60% in the dry room however I didn't supplement humidity with a humidifier, i do have an ACI humidifier, but I didn't wanna run it in the summer and accidentally mold the crop! I just ran my dehumidifier at that setting so maybe it got a little dry in there! I trimmed all 5 plants in one day to prevent over drying in about 13 hours. I used a trim bin, trim brush by canna brush and a normal pair of springed shears. I'm curing in Mason jars now. I was able to move the plants in the tiny Mars Hydro Clone tent to my flowering tent. My Vivosun 4x8x6, under my HLG Blackbird at setting 1 to get adjusted. This week I'll get my par meter back from my grow bro and get a good reading. Im going to be transplanting these plants to their final containers as soon as I hit the local grow shop and grab a little more soil! After that I'll adjust the par for full veg and let them really rage! It feels good to finally get some space for them. My larger tent is way better equipped ventilation wise as well, I have 4 clip fans and my 8 inch exhaust fan in there. I currently have the tent sitting at 74-71°F and 56% Humidity. Ethos: Lilac Diesel #22 (x) Grandpa's Cookies #7- This Seedling has a decent internode spacing between it's branches and is keeping them mostly even with very little low stress training. I have been bending the top most branches to help the plant get a little bushier! It's leaves are very dark and doing a little clawing so I'm holding off on the Trinity by Roots Organic! It doesn't appear to bad! It's main stalk is very thick and reminds me of Raspberry Ripple #1! When it's in veg! I'm excited to see if this plant is one I'll keep around or not! I'm definitely hoping it's stretch in flower is containable in my shorter space! Raspberry Ripple Clones (#1 and #2)- The Number One Phenos are looking beefy already, one plant is starting to yellow just a little bit and looks like it could use a transplant here soon! Other than that these ladies are raging as usual. The higher ppfd has kept them really bushy and symmetrical. The Number 2s are still looking really healthy but are the smallest plants in the garden as usual! Finished Flowers (Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2)- This harvest definitely hits a lot harder than my last one! Having the microscope to really get a good look at my trichomes and pushing the plants and extra two weeks really made a big difference! Ripple #1- These buds are big and purple! Decently frosted! The leathery, black licorice smell Ripple #1 gives off, is really strong this round! The harvest weighed 7oz 25 grams, 6 oz and 16 grams of "A" Nugs, and 1 oz 9 grams of popcorn buds! Ripple #2- The Ripple #2 is a little less dense than the #1 but it is pretty frosty and smells like a mixture of yogurt and hazy weed. This harvest weighed 5 oz 20 g, 4 oz and 6 grams of decent sized nugs and 1 oz 13 grams of popcorn nugs. Giving me a total harvest of 13 oz and 17 grams, 10 oz and 20 grams of "A" nugs and 2 oz and 23 grams of popcorn nugs. In a 4 x 4. That pretty much sums up the harvest and this week! Thank you for checking out my growdiary! -Starfish

~ WEDDING CHEESECAKE FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "A delight for the mind and body: Wedding Cheesecake FF (Fast-Flowering) is a delicious strain that offers XXL yields in a 7-8 weeks flowering cycle. This terpene powerhouse produces loads and loads of mouth-watering vanilla-creamy-cookie-scented terps with hints of citrus and cinnamon. In addition to its delicious aromas, this variety grows very well in both indoor and outdoor setups, yielding up to 650 g/m2 without extra maintenance, making it the ideal strain for beginners as it allows you to maximize yields while minimizing work. This super-fast feminized photoperiod version offers upbeat and energetic yet deeply relaxing effects that are perfect for consumers looking for a heavily focused, motivating, and creative high. It’s the ideal strain for those needing that extra energy boost to start a busy day on the right foot. Wedding Cheesecake FF boasts chunky, large-sized buds with a thick layer of silvery-white resin and bright orange hairs scattered all over: that just screams ‘quality’. The lime-green flowers sparkle with an array of hues ranging from dark to light green, to magenta and purple, and reek of a delicious aroma that’ll remind you of fresh store-bought cheesecake. This is an XXL hybrid that grows extremely tall in height, reaching up to 3m with one huge main cola and multiple long side branches that can withstand enormous yields of up to 650 g/m2 with ease. Wedding Cheesecake FF is extremely resilient to the elements and can be grown in almost every climate as long as you’ve got the space and basics covered, making her an excellent choice for those looking for large-scale harvests with a quick turnaround time without much effort." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Wedding Cheesecake FF indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 5/17- The FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower is going into Week Eight from seed now and is looking like a champ! I started brewing a batch of Compost Tea today which should be ready in 24-36 hours, after which I'll give the Wedding Cheesecake FF a treat! 5/19- I'm almost certain that slugs are the culprits of all of the leaf chewing that has occurred. I only wish I had figured it out sooner but, on the bright side, this is a photoperiod and she has plenty of time to recover so she'll be just fine. Once I figured out that I was facing a slug attack, I immediately deployed my favorite defense against slugs and other little soft bodied buggers and their larvae... Diatomaceous Earth. This stuff is death to fungus gnat larvae, along with other pest larvae and will ruin a slugs day quickly! If you look at diatomaceous earth under magnification, it resembles shards of glass and acts as the same on the soft bodies of pests either repelling, or killing them! 5/21- The Wedding Cheesecake is putting out a ton of new growth and has maintained her color and vigor. I have been training her branches through the trellis net as they get long enough and will probably be installing a second net before too long! Our weather has dried out and warmed up so I'm watering daily with well water straight from the garden hose. 5/23- Eight weeks of growth for the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower and she just keeps looking better by the day... She's going to be a gorgeous plant! I cannot wait to see her in a month or so... can you? Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend and staying safe. Another great week for the ladies, as they are now almost halfway through flowering which is 4 weeks into flower, and the stretch has just finished. I am still feeding them silica, cal mag, and flower nutrients maxi bloom by GHE. I did start to add a PK booster last week pushing the EC up to 1.4. I also switched the Medic Grow light from V1 to the F1 Spectrum at the beginning of last week, and will be integrating the UV/IR bar into the light cycle later this week. I will run the UV/IR bar for approximately 30 minutes prior to lights off to get started. The tallest plants are the Sundae Driver and the Durban Nights at 44" and the Red Hot Cookies is the shortest plant at 40" however they all look happy and healthy and capable of easily giving up a half pound each. The 5X5 tent is starting to really fill up and they are just now starting to smell. I was out of town all weekend so I was unable to make a time lapse video but I will update next week. I did defoliate twice this week and I may do one or two more rounds before just letting them do their thing. Not much to do from here on out except make sure the reservoir is full and the PH is in the proper range. I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

Another easy week. Probably another week before I top them for the first time. I included a video of my set up, looking for any pointers from scrog growers, tent grower , any help from the cannafam is appreciated. Started feeding 2ml/l of Cyco grow A and B at 10 days from breaking ground and will start week 1 of veg of the feeding schedule at 14 days. Upgraded the set up this week so I had some difficulties with humidity falling off , might have stunted them a little bit but I'm confident these seedsman strains will bounce back in no time. @_offtherecord_

Week 2 During the second week, the plant continues to grow at a slower pace. New leaves appear gradually, maintaining good symmetry and consistent color. The plant remains compact and close to the soil surface, with little vertical stretch. While it does not show rapid development, it also shows no signs of stress. The leaves remain open and responsive to light, indicating that the plant is functioning well despite its reduced size.

I hung the full plant upside down for 24hrs. I then hung the individual branches. I left the branches big and I didn’t trim the buds as I wanted to dry slowly. They hung in the dark room with temperature at 21 degrees and humidity at 58% for a week. I then removed the buds from the branches and placed them in a drying net for another few day before jarring. Smell isfantastic.

Die Woche verging wie im Fluge. Purple Punch Auto glitzert in den Morgenstunden wunderschön und verströmt einen sehr angenehmen Duft. Momentan duftet diese hier von unseren vier Pflänzchen am stärksten. Die Blüten schwellen nach einem krassen Stretch an. Das intensive LST und das Entfernen störender Blätter hat dazu geführt, dass die Blüten sehr gleichmäßig Sonnenlicht bekommen und später in der Blüte die Luft gut zirkulieren kann. Zwei Tage der Woche standen die Pflanzen unter der Markise, es hat über Stunden heftig geregnet. Nachdem ich meine Grashüpfer letzte Woche umgesiedelt habe, der Fraß ging mir zu weit, sehen die nachwachsenden Pistillen wieder gut aus. Vorher wurden die von den Hüpfern gerne angeknabbert. Das Gießen läuft wie gewohnt nach Gefühl. An heißen Sonnentagen bis zu 1,5 Liter. Soweit die News von unserem Balkon, die nächsten Wochen werden vergehen und dann ist die erste Saison als Weed Gärtner auch schon wieder beendet.

The first week is over and little babies are doing nicely. As expected the growth is slowly progressing and I can already see small roots coming from the wholes at the bottom of little pots which shows the plants are healthy. They didn't need much water this week. I've started adding Canna mixture in little dosages not to cause stress. Also took some time to add two Bestvas 600 LEDs and made some house keeping and tied all the cables nicely to the skeleton of grow tent. All in all the plants are doing great, no problems so far and looking forward what this week will bring. Thanks everybody for all the likes and comments! 👌 Have a great week and healthy grow😁
