Moin, Pflanzen sind grade gut im Stretch und auch die unterschiedlichen Höhen lassen sich leider nicht vermeiden… Während #1 und #3 ziemlich auch gleicher Höhe sind, kommt #2 nicht so gut hinterher. Generell scheint sie von der Entwicklung auch weniger ausgeprägt zu sein - naja so ist es nunmal. Hab #2 dann noch auf eine kleine Erhöhung gestellt, damit sie immerhin etwas mithält… Ansonsten siehts ganz gut aus, die Pflanzen brauchen jetzt deutlich mehr Wasser - könnte jeden Tag mit 2L gießen. Wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende 😎🍀 Gruß Wulle

Alright let's do this !! The seeds were soaked for a few hours in a KNF seed soak, and placed in paper towel. Looks like there are twins in there. Separated them and will try to grow the smallest one. When germinated they moved into a jiffy and eventually in their final pot once roots poked through the jiffy. The final pots are 40L of different soil mix. One is a very good commercial mix and the other is my own mix. Seeds really isn't my strong suit so they always tend to struggle a bit until well established.

Blue Dream Auto 1 15th Feb Mon - Placed blue dream auto seed into jar of ph balanced water,and then kept in dark airing cupboard for 24hours. 16 Feb Tue - Set up grow tent today. Placed seed into soil and cut a quarter of a plastic bottle top and placed over planted seed to create moisture dome. If seedling hasn’t popped after 3 days turn light on to give more energy. Will leave now and check up on it in the next 24 hours 17th Feb. 17th Feb Wed - Checked on seedling today. No sprout as of yet,19:35, everything seems fine soil is moist and in the dome is moist. If there is any issues it would be the temp is lower than I’d like. 18th/19th Feb Thur - Fri - Still no sprout on Thursday 18th. Checked soil and it still a bit wet all around, I think I’ve planted the seed a little too deep. Noticed a few gnats. On day 19th Friday, there is still no sprout so to give it a bit of help I have turned the light on today. Noticed quite a few more gnats so I will try to put some white vinegar and fairy liquid in a bowl to place in tent. Will update over the weekend. 20th Feb Sat - Finally!!! The seed has finally sprouted, I won’t water this morning but I will check later tonight. Need to keep soil around plant moist but the outer bits of soil I’ll leave dry due to Gnats. Will leave moisture dome on for a day longer until I see leaves form. Very happy! Also repositioned light so it is directly above plant 21st Feb Sun - She is looking good! A lot of growth from yesterday to day gave some more water this morning as she was looking a bit dry. I’m looking to take the dome off tonight as she has started to come out. I’ve turned lamp off for 4 hours to give some rest. One leaf is curling over a little but I’m not too sure why? Will monitor and keep updated. Any advice appreciated!!

Week 15....day 106. She's just going to get plain pH 6.0 water for the next few days. I know she wouldn't yield a lot but this plant taught me a lot so I'm satisfied with that. I'm sure from here out you guys will see better yields and quality from me. Day 108.... nothing much has changed but some of her old leaves are getting yellow and brown. Her buds are looking better every day. Day 109... Nothing changed. Day 111.....this plant still looks healthy because my ppm was at 1000. Gave her a couple of flushes and bought it down to about 200. I'll chop her down at the end of this week. Day 112.....last day for this girl, trichomes are looking good, she's not big but I'm loving it. I trimmed most of the big leaves down, I'll chop her down tomorrow and put her in my diy dryer. Very sticky buds, my fingers were sticking together even the clippers were sticking too. See you guys at the harvest

Nothing much is happening this week. The weather has been brilliant – loads of sunshine. But somehow she doesn’t seem to be making much progress in terms of growth.

Did a little Defoilation in the garden trimmed of any branches thar werent going to reach the top cleaned up the fans leaves that were blocking air circulation so far so good getting these ladies ready for transition😶‍🌫️

Day 51 - Into the beginnings of week 8 and all is looking good so far. She’s still got a few days before she needs any water and she’s really fattening up each day. Other than that, not much happening with her. Day 52 - She’s definitely fattened up quite a bit the last couple of day but hard getting the light spread out to some of her outer branches so my new light should be here and installed tomorrow. She’ll be needing her watering tomorrow as well, she’s almost dry. Day 53 - Gave her 2 gallons of plain pH’d water today and she seems to be the only one not really bothered by the heat in the tent. I’m doing what I can to keep things as cool as I can but not helping much. Either way, this girl still seems to be thriving so not complaining too much about her. Day 54 - Looks good after watering yesterday, he next will be nutes. She is fattening up beautifully. Other than that, I think she’s really liking the second light in there and the heat doesn’t seem to bother her too much though it’s finally cooling down a bit. Day 55 - Nothing major happening today, she’s doing good after her watering yesterday and it appears she’s still chunking up. Got some updated pictures today as well.

1-11 At the end of the day i chopped her down, did a small wet trim removing some big leaves, and hang the buds to dry. 2-11 Temps: 19.3 to 20.5 degrees Humidity: 55% to 64% 3-11 Temps: 17.1 to 20.4 degrees Humidity: 54% to 66% 4-11 Temps: 18.1 to 19.6 degrees Humidity: 62% to 66% 5-11 Temps: 17.9 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 56% to 64% 6-11 Temps: 17.6 to 19.4 degrees Humidity: 59% to 67% 7-11 Temps: 17.8 to 19.2 degrees Humidity: 60% to 66% 8-11 Temps: 17.4 to 19.9 degrees Humidity: 58% to 67% 9-11 Temps: 17.8 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 62% to 64% 10-11 Temps: 18.2 to 20.5 degrees Humidity: 62% to 65% 11-11 Temps: 18.7 to 20.4 degrees Humidity: 57% to 65% 12-11 Temps: 18 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 54% to 66% 13-11 Temps: 17.8 to 20.2 degrees Humidity: 61% to 67% Started trimming today. 14-11 Finished trimming. I was afraid of finding a lot of budrot, luckily it was only the one cola. The buds are very frosty, the bottom at the base of the branch looks a bit brownish on some buds, i inspected it with a microscope and didnt find any mold or weird things. There are a lot of amber trichomes tho. I think that's why it looks brown like that. It smells and smokes good, so i think its fine. If someone thinks otherwise, let me know! End results: Buds: 92 Grams Small Buds: 18 Grams Trim: 16.7 Grams Total weight of the buds: 110 Grams. I calculated that i used a total of 72.3 watts this grow, that makes it 1.52 grams per watt! Very happy with the end results, and its by far my personal record hahaha.

5th week of flower, the plant has stopped growing and focused on the buds. Both plants look nice, I’m hoping the 3 gallon plant gets fatter before the end though.

9 weeks complete . Time for the big chop . Colours outstanding smells incredible going to be a long 2 days 😴🔥✔️

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 70/0 Flipped to 12/12 - increased ppfd by 100 and worked to stabilize temps/humidity with new gear. I used 15 minutes of IR light before main lights and then 30 minutes of UV light at mid day and will still use 15 minutes of IR light after main light are out. I plan to increase the time of UV lights to a max of 2.5 hours per day mid day but for now Im easing her into the treatments. Watered with 1.12 gallons of 6.3ph de-chlorinated tap water, used 50ppm of veg mix and 50ppm of bloom mix in the water. VPD is mostly steady 74F/65%RH/33%ILV Day 71/1 tested and calibrated my meter, tested the top soil 1 day after feed for ph - tested 4 times for an avg of 6.48 Trimmed brown leaves and did some HST/LST training/binding. Took control pics for UV treatments of 15 minutes per day. Will monitor and increase weekly it she holds up okay. Still doin 15 minutes of IR light before and after lights on/off. PPFD after training was 630 at highest and 540 lowest. VPD was 74F/60%RH/33%ILV Day 72/2 Just a watch today, VPD was 75F/60%RH/setting 4/10 of ILV (about 33% like the last tent) PPFD ranged from 530 to 650. I only used 5 minutes of UV light today as she has a tinge of browning on the tips of a few leaves. Im not cutting it out completely because I still plan to use upto 2.5 hrs by end of flower, so she needs to adjust. Im also still using 15 minutes of IR before and after main light schedule. Her stretch seems to be picking up, from 16 inches 2 days ago to 18 today. Day 73/3 VPD same as yesterday 75F/60%RH/40%ILV PPFD hit 670 at highest and 550 at lowest. Stayed with 5 minutes of UV light and monitored burnt tips from previous days... no spread, so I may add 5 more minutes tomorrow and monitor. 15 minutes of IR before/after main light schedule. Growth continues, another inch in stretch to 19 inches. I turned her slightly because there are still two runted colas that I rather provide more light to. It's been 3 days since last feed and I think with as much growth as she's putting on, I should feed again tomorrow. Im still introducing nutes in lower portions but will add 300ppm and feed about 2 gallons at a 25/75 ratio of veg:bloom mix to see if I can get some run off to measure conditions. Day 74/4 Watered with 2 gallons of 6.4 ph de-chlorinated tap water. I added 300ppm total of 25% Veg/75% Bloom. Starting ppm was 296; ending was 595 and I added a pinch of epsom salt. Poured over the whole base until I got runoff - Since I was so close to the whole 2 gallons, I used it all. I only used the feed water over the roots today as I want her to get the nutes from the soil since the transfer into new soil was so recent. So far VPD is 75F/60%RH/40%ILV. No issues with controls. PPFD was upto 700 at center so I raised the lights to almost 42" from soil - Since the plant is almost 20" that's 22" leaves to light. New PPFD now ranges at 480 to 650 on 70% power. I increased UV time to 10minutes today and took control pics for light burn. I am still using 15 IR before and after main lights. Took some black back picks since I think she's looking good now. Day 75/5 Started the day with evaluation of ph and control pics. Comparisons show no further spread of lock out issues from earlier or light burn of a more recent change. Upto 20 inches before HST/LST today. Meter was tested/calibrated and soil ph was tested 4 times for avg of 6.34 (yesterday's runoff was about 6.35 too) Soil temp is about 66F. Also tested CO2 and got 1050. Room VPD was 74F/60%RH/30%ILV I spread the leaves further apart because I noticed there were two colas not getting as much light and somewhat crowded by the colas near by. So I positioned the larger part of the tomato ring around the limbs extending here out to 32x32 and the used HST/LST to break and bend the center colas inward clockwise (I think I went a bit too hard on one as the others already show a bounce back and now one is still limp-ish (will monitor obviously) But with that the height is now 18" so 32x32x18 - but here's the kicker, I only have a 24x48 tent, so there's a few colas touching the walls and doorway now, so I may have to reconsider the larger ring. New position, new PPFD right?, not exactly, for some reason these settings still gave me range of 480 to 650 as I had yesterday with just a few more of the outer colas have 480 than yesterday. However, there's more light getting lower levels now and I only had to cut 1 leaf. Which is good because I did 15 minutes of UV today with the regular 15 minutes of IR before and after main lights. Day 76/6 VPD is a lil wonky now as humidity is starting to go up in the tent - so I plan to put in the dehumidifier this weekend and just leaving the humidifier off today and tomorrow. Heat seems to also be ticking up - so I reduced the temp on the heater and will monitor. Temps about 75 to 76 - humidity at about 62% as high as 65 though and Im trying to be at or under 60 this week. Increased ILV to 40% I repositioned the fans to hang on the lights while blowing down onto the plant. I tried to make every leaf dance a little. LST seemed to hold up okay - had to reposition a few branches and thinking I may have to build a larger box this weekend since the colas are now pressing the door and back wall. PPFD is between 470 and 700. I used 15 minutes of UV mid day with 15 minutes (30 total) IR before and after main light timers.

21°C u. 55-58% RL für die Trocknung anvisiert.

Day 70. For a lady who was given salt water. The the wrong ph water. She is really a massive lady. I’m proud of her. She’s taller then my damn light at the moment. But mainely is always hitting it out of the park. She’s bulking. Can’t wait to see what she will do.
