Day 63 Flower (Day 105)
I'm back! Iceland was breathtakingly beautiful as usual, and I even managed to see an active volcano. Amazing!
I have good news and bad news regarding my girls. The good news is that they are both still alive and are overall looking pretty good.
The bad news for the left girl is that the cheap irrigation system failed and only watered around 1 liter of water during the entire week. She was extremely thirsty, although still looking pretty good without any drooping. A couple of her leaves turned purple from the stress, though.
I recorded a video just as I opened the tent for the first time after coming back a couple of hours ago.
The news is worse for the right girl, though. The irrigation system worked flawlessly, so that wasn't the problem. Instead, I detected bud rot in three buds, and of course, it was in the three most significant colas. Fuuuuuuuu...
I also shot a video as I opened the tent, and the affected buds are visible if you are paying attention.
I have never had bud rot before, so I will need to do additional research on what to do next. I immediately cut off the affected buds and disposed of them outside. I hope I got all the affected areas, but I will inspect all the buds more closely tomorrow. Been traveling most of the day today and need some rest before scouting her buds.
I looked at her trichomes quickly and still couldn't see much amber, but I will have a better look tomorrow.
The worms have been busy while gone, though, and they were crawling all over when I lifted the old avocados.
They aren't the only ones who have been busy as the fungus gnats are back, Sigh. Only a few so far, but yeah, another thing to sort out. The fun just never ends...

Entering the 6th week of flowering and things are going well. Expect to see some proper growth now. Things were lagged at the start.

This grow is going to be testing my coco based auto watering setup. The plants will eventually be going into 2.5 gallon airpots which I cut to be very tall and narrow which I hope will give great performance for this grow style. Nutrient solution will be pumped from a 5 gallon bucket to halo-style drip emitters 6 times a day for 5-10 second intervals. I am going to try to use inline flow control knobs to dial in the watering and allow for slight runoff every fertigation.
For lighting I am using my HLG 100 watt lights, one per plant. I am a big fan of these quantum boards, they have given great performance in the past!
Thanks for reading! 🌱👍
May 13 day 1: the Blackberry breached after germinating in a rapid rooter for 2 days. I am impressed with how quickly this seed popped! It had no issues with stuck seed casings, which I find is the main downside of germinating in rapid rooters. I am excited about this one!
May 16 day 3: Auto watering drip emitters are set up, and I am testing them to dial in the amount of runoff it produces. I also planted the seedlings/rapid rooters into 1 litre grow bags and began feeding nutrients. They are still under the humidity dome for now for the time being and seem to be doing well.
Day 4: seedlings doing well, they are staying under the dome untill they grow their next set of leaves, then I will take them out and run a humidifier.

These babies are rocking!!!!! Lollipopped up to the last 3 nodes... Pretty evenly spaced thru out... Going to give a 1/4 strength flower nute and regular veg feed and some recharge and then I'll be Flipping to flower next week! 😁 I hope I remember to update...
Update* pictures are lollipopping, topping, defoliation, and training em to a pretty even zone... Gave food last night (March 30 today) and put a quarter dose flower food and they loved it! It's going to be flipped in the next week

• French Macaron got planted into her 30 gallon fabric pot packed with HEAVILY-AMENDED Roots 707 soil.
– No more BS soil for me. Back to the good stuff!
• Took clones of the Chem Brûlée and Pineapple Meatball to determine sex
•Those girls are extremely root bound at this point... but don't want to accidentally transplant a male into the BIG pots since I am on a plant count restriction (6 mature plants in California)
Here's my Super Soil Recipe:
Sonoma Sungrown
2021 Photoperiod Soil Recipe
Makes ~8 cubic feet of Supersoil (enough for 3x30 gallon smart pots)
7 cubic feet Roots 707 Potting Soil
.5 cubic foot worm castings
1.25 lbs. bone meal
1.25 lbs. fish bone meal
2.5 lbs. high phosphorus bat guano
2.5 lbs. blood meal
1.5 cups oyster shell
1.5 cups kelp meal
1.5 cups alfalfa meal
1/3 cup Epsom salts
1/2 cup agricultural lime

So, I chopped her on day 70. She was very ready.
The last week I kept the girls in the shade a bit during the day. We´ve had temperatures close to 40 degrees C. I didn´t want to expose them to too much heat.

This week I decided to introduce nutrition. I am new to this so i went for organic (from what I've read) bio bizz and is also readily available at my local grow shop thankfully haha my first run so I halved the recommended amounts more or less as I didn't was to burn the plants as they are still young.

They cut all my plant and take it. Bad friends. The yield and number of plant was higher. Unfortunately. I walk away with 500gr of 16 different strain. No trace of Super Lemon Haze

Plants in the main tent are coming along well since correcting the light intensity and run-off ppm, the one on the left is filling out now, so is the one in the middle just much slower. Not sure if I will let that one cook longer or just pull it with the rest... will see how she looks in a week.
The plant on the right I spread out to take up almost half of the tent (I didn't want the spindler taking up unnecessary space) - her nugs are real nice - some foxtails and bleaching on the taller ones but for the most part looking good.
Plant on the left has filled out a lot more despite its weirder more "wiry" bud structure - does't look as nice as the good plants but definitely better than the spindly plant in the middle.
Big Mumma is still killing it - wondering if its getting close to flush time for her as it looks like some of her tricomes are starting to brown...

Veg Week 7 Day 49 to 55 - 4/8 to 4/14
This week is primarily test training recovery and stretch setting for flower.
Follow-up on the breaks confirms the last statement:
So as I said, little to no damage will produce average branches (prone to weight breaks later in flower as discovered in my first grow)
Small to slightly moderate break of green and evenly crushed stem can create heavy knuckles with large waterways through hardwood. This provides great support without hindering growth and actually seems to encourage it.
Moderate to heavy rips with no back support will runt growth and support; if not die off from lack of attention to the issue. However if back supported immediately, it can recover with a little extra time but lost days of growth will be replaced with recovery days instead.
Feed this week was again an auto pot reservoir feed at 500ppm total before add-ins. I used 400ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and introduced 100ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 5.9
Video
HST Branch crushing and bending to train waterways for stretch in flower. The more I do here, the less I have to do later.
Next week I plan to monitor the training of the branches and feed 500ppm at 5.8ph. All I am trying to do now is set the growth of the colas/branches to where I want them to flower and stretch from now that I can see which are going to be more productive in size.

After dropping my plant last week I thought it was done for.
But the new light really seemed to make all the difference for her. Having her in the tent is good because I can control the humidity a little better. But to be honest I'm doing a crap job at it ... Humidity can be anywhere between 50 and 80%.
When I went to work on Tuesday the plant jumped up. Amazing how much growth in just a few hours. I was thinking about whether I should top her or not. I don't think I will though because she seems like a nice sturdy little plant
At the end of the week I decided she really needed to be repotted.. I thought I was pushing it going early but I got a new light in and was planning to take her off the shelf and move her to the floor so it seemed a good time.
Turned out to be a good choice. She's lovely

9/20 Adjusted lights to 40% at 24 inches. It looks like I have a whorled phyllotaxy with the Sticky Mango. 3 branches per node. Should be cool to see how she develops.
9/22 Watered at 900 mS/cm
9/23 Dropped ir light on plants. Broke a fan leaf off the Moonberry Pie Auto. Removed other leaf to maintain light distribution and symmetry. Otherwise plants look great.
9/24 Added IR lighting. 10 before and after lights on and off. Hung at about 48 inches.
9/25 Topped Pink Apple Soda and Yuzu Sour above 4th node. Watered at 1.080 mS/cm pH 6.1. Watered to minimal runoff. Reduced RH to 62%
9/28 Increased lighting to 50%. Topped the Sticky Mango Auto. Was going to get to tall. The whorled phyllotaxy aspect of the plant is interesting. It is definitely growing faster than the others . It even has pistils already and a VERY dominant side branch.
The plant I dropped the IR light on (Moonberry Pie Auto) definitely got stunted even though only 2 fan leaves had to be removed. The other topped plants (Yuzu Sour Auto and Pink Apple Soda Auto) look great. Starting to get bushy. Tucked the large fan leaves. Turtle Taffy Auto has been rather disappointing. If it doesn't show me something soon I may not waist the nutrients and get another Tastebudz Genetics seed going.
PLANT HEIGHTS :
Sticky Mango Auto 12"
Turtle Taffy Auto 8.5"
Moonberry Pie Auto 5"
Pink Apple Soda Auto 7.5"
Yuzu Sour 6.5"

Nach unserem „Unfall“ mit der Grow-Lampe und 10 Tage kein Licht, … 🌿 … standen wir vor der Entscheidung „Totalausfall“… 🌿✂️ … oder „Weiter machen und auf das Beste hoffen“… 🌿 Zum Glück konnte ich mich durchsetzen! 🌿 Die ersten Härchen zeigen sich?

Coming down the stretch. They indeed smell like a sweet danky frozen coke. Sticky. I held back on the defol to see what they would do. So I’m anticipating some underdeveloped buds but we’ll see. May defol heavy the last week.
