Week 07 and the heat wave is behind us. Didn’t update last week but not much to report. Some serious damage was a result of the heat, causing the lights and everything else to become too much for the girls. #2 took it the best and is still growing nicely packing on weight and some serious frost! Finishing much faster then the others. I might re veg her the smell is so nice. The two larger #1 & 4 have been hungry forever awhile and I never applied anymore Gaia:(

Day 51 - Deficiencies have gotten a bit out of hand the previous few days. Looking at the leaves I was thinking maybe calcium and magnesium deficiency, but it doesn't really make sense to me because I had: 1. Given a decent feeding with the Aptus cal-mag solution. 2. Calcium was already in the soil (pre-fertilized) 3. There is more often too much calcium in soil than too little. 4. There is a not insignificant amount of calcium in the water I use (causes limescale in a lot of things) So my guess is instead of calcium deficiency, I'm seeing next to some magnesium deficiency, a deficiency of phosphorus. So a couple of days ago I gave the plant FloraBloom which has both phosphorus and magnesium but no nitrogen or calcium. Today (two days later), the leaves are now feeling a lot less dry / crunchy, which was a supposed symptom of phosphorus deficiency. I expect to need to wait about two more weeks before harvesting. Maybe around 10 days. The trichomes are still fairly glassy although there's some cloudiness. Pistils are still mainly white though, so I'm expecting some fattening to happen. I don't really like feeding the plants at this point (short before harvest), but the deficiencies were severe enough to me that I'll keep giving FloraBloom this week. Next week I might stop depending on where the trichomes are at. Smell is excellent, I definitely now understand where the 'mandarin' name comes from. Very similar to a mandarin smell now. Other than the phosphorus / magnesium issue, the plants seems to be doing well.

(Log date week 7, day 49) So this week was a mixed bag, Tuesday started off with me finding a spider web on one of the lower fan leaves on my Hulkberry plant and noticed some bite marks on some of Fat Banana. In my haste to give rid of the spider mites, i caused some minor wind damage to some of the fan leaves on Hulkberry which caused some copper spotting and a stunted Fat banana cola. After i correctly treated both plants for spider mites and wind damage, they both bounced back and started to recover quite nicely. I also noticed a difference between topping these plants at different times; i topped fat banana when it had 4 cola's but i waited until hulkberry's roots reached to the bottom of my 5gal bucket and she had 8 cola's. A BIG difference in their recovery and overall structure, where fat banana jump out the gate with explosive veg growth and hulkberry struggled for two weeks just to develop it's first set of fan leaves. To now whereas hulkberry is much bigger, greener and bushier than fat banana. Hulkberry has responded much better to the additional stress whereas fat banana has struggled or stalled due to the stressful conditions. All in all wasn't too bad of a week, except for the power going out for a couple of hours on Saturday which raised my grow-room temperature to 90f, i was able to put out a couple of fires this week without any adverse long term effects. I also topped hulkberry on the last day of the week and I'm going to continue to feed them Technfloa at the full recommended strength since they have both responded very well to last week's formula. as always my pic are in chronological order Mr. O.G.T

This one's been a breeze... The wife's following the book word for word and the plant is doing what I was sowed to do... Just a little cal mag in the pH 6 water and she's living her best life. More and more pistils are popping and the bud sites are all stretching to even out the canopy. Good genetics and proper care... Can't wait to see what the effects of this lady are as the stem rub has a skunk and earthy smell that just gives you an old skool vibe. I expect her to really start to stack up this week and then begin swelling those calyxes through to the end!

Casey's Rollex OG has made good progress over the week. She had a solution hangers a few days ago. I added extra cal mag. I believe she has been having calcium issue. It looks like it stopped. Time will tell. She got some lst today, and the center of her defoliated. Everything else has been going great.

Woche 19 – Blütewoche 4 Diese Woche war weniger spektakulär als die letzten – zumindest wenn man meinen Zeitraffer fragt. 😅 Der Stretch scheint nun endgültig abgeschlossen zu sein. Im Vergleich zu den vergangenen Wochen bewegt sich das Blätterdach kaum noch nach oben. Stattdessen beginnt die Laughing Buddha sichtbar damit, ihre Energie in die Blüten zu stecken. Die einzelnen Budsites werden kompakter, die Blütenstände verbinden sich zunehmend entlang der Triebe und die Harzproduktion nimmt ordentlich Fahrt auf. Gerade auf den Sugar Leaves ist mittlerweile schon eine schöne Schicht Trichome zu sehen. Für Blütewoche 4 kann ich mich über die Entwicklung der Buds definitiv nicht beschweren. Ganz zufrieden war ich diese Woche trotzdem nicht. Das Sorgenkind: die Blattfarbe Bereits in der letzten Zeit wurde das Laub zunehmend heller. Einige ältere Fächer zeigen inzwischen deutliche Chlorosen und teilweise kleine braune bzw. nekrotische Stellen. Anfangs hatte ich vor allem die Nährstoffversorgung im Verdacht. Rückblickend habe ich aber wahrscheinlich selbst einen Teil zu dem Problem beigetragen. Also wurde diese Woche nicht einfach blind weitergedüngt, sondern erstmal genauer hingeschaut. Ich habe meinen pH-Pen neu kalibriert und anschließend Wasser und Erde überprüft. Mein Leitungswasser liegt ungefähr bei pH 7,7 und ist ziemlich hart. Zusätzlich habe ich eine Bodenprobe angesetzt, um besser einschätzen zu können, was tatsächlich im Substrat passiert. Auch beim Enhancer musste ich feststellen, dass ich ihn bisher nicht ganz so eingesetzt hatte, wie ursprünglich vorgesehen. Dazu kamen zeitweise ziemlich hohe Lichtintensitäten und durch die heißen Tage teilweise entsprechend hohe VPD-Werte. Kurz gesagt: Wahrscheinlich war es nicht der eine große Fehler, sondern mehrere kleine Faktoren gleichzeitig. Und ja – auch solche Sachen gehören für mich in ein Grow-Tagebuch. Fehler passieren. Entscheidend ist, sie zu erkennen und daraus zu lernen. Mäh sin hier ja nit bi Wünsch dir Watt. 🤣 💡 Licht & Klima Bei der Beleuchtung habe ich diese Woche ebenfalls nachjustiert. Die Gorilla hängt jetzt ungefähr 50 cm über dem Canopy und läuft bei 91 %. Am Sensor kommen damit rund 890 PPFD an. Damit bin ich wieder ziemlich genau in dem Bereich, den ich für die weitere Blüte haben möchte, ohne der Buddha unnötig noch mehr Stress aufzudrücken. Die heißen Augusttage haben die Klimaanlage ordentlich beschäftigt. Zeitweise ging die Temperatur deutlich nach oben und damit auch der VPD. An den gemäßigteren Tagen ließ sich das Klima dagegen wesentlich besser kontrollieren. Fütterung & Bewässerung Zum Übergang in BW4 bekam die Buddha wie geplant ihren Green House Feeding BioBloom Topdress. Anschließend wurde mit Enhancer gegossen. Danach hieß es erstmal: beobachten. Ich möchte jetzt nicht den Fehler machen, wegen der hellen Blätter ständig weitere Änderungen vorzunehmen. Bereits geschädigte Blätter werden ohnehin nicht plötzlich wieder dunkelgrün. Viel interessanter ist, ob sich das Schadbild weiter ausbreitet oder nach den vorgenommenen Änderungen stabilisiert. Auch die beiden Bodensensoren waren diese Woche wieder ziemlich hilfreich. Man sieht mittlerweile sehr schön, wie schnell die Pflanze ihren 45 Liter Topf leerzieht. Am heutigen Gießtag konnte man anschließend sogar unmittelbar verfolgen, wie die Bodenfeuchtigkeit nach oben sprang und sich das Wasser anschließend im Substrat verteilte. 🌸 Blütenentwicklung Und während ich mir über irgendwelche gelben Blätter den Kopf zerbreche, scheint die Buddha selbst davon relativ wenig beeindruckt zu sein. 😅 Die Blütenentwicklung läuft weiter. Viele Tops tragen mittlerweile klar ausgebildete Colas, die Buds werden zunehmend dichter und vor allem die Harzproduktion gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut. Gleichzeitig stehen noch Unmengen frischer weißer Pistillen heraus. Da ist also noch sehr, sehr viel Luft nach oben. Der Unterschied zwischen Pflanzen- und Blütenbild ist momentan fast schon absurd: Einige Fächer sehen aus, als wollten sie mir unbedingt mitteilen, dass etwas nicht stimmt – und direkt daneben sitzt ein komplett bereifter Bud und sagt: „Keine Ahnung, was dein Problem ist.“ 🤣 🎥 Zeitraffer der Woche Nach dem Stretch der letzten Wochen hatte ich diesmal mit einem spektakulären Zeitraffer gerechnet. Tja. Absolut unspektakulär. 🤣 Aber beim direkten Vergleich zwischen Anfang und Ende erkennt man trotzdem die entscheidende Veränderung: Die Höhe bleibt nahezu konstant, während die Blüten langsam an Volumen gewinnen. Und eigentlich ist genau das die beste Nachricht dieser Woche. Der Bau des Gerüsts ist beendet. Jetzt darf sie fett werden. 😏🌳 📋 Fazit Blütewoche 4 Keine perfekte Woche – aber wahrscheinlich eine ziemlich wichtige. Ich habe beim Licht nachjustiert, meine Wasser-/Bodensituation genauer untersucht, die Düngung aufgefrischt und dabei auch ein paar eigene Fehler bzw. mögliche Fehlentscheidungen gefunden. Jetzt werde ich nicht hektisch weiter korrigieren, sondern der Pflanze erstmal Zeit geben zu reagieren. Denn trotz der auffälligen Blattfarbe macht die Laughing Buddha genau das, was sie momentan machen soll: Sie baut Blüten. Und davon verdammt viele. 😍 Auf in Blütewoche 5.

First day of week 6, i have to say these ladies are FASTTT! VPD 1.15-1.23 lights on VPD 0.97-1.05 lights off. The 70x70 area is 101% covered although id say 72x72cm because i added some self made growbox wall extenders i have started thinking adding the trellis net now or some days later to tilt the colas alittle just slightly for better light absorbtion for lower buds under the main shoots isnt a bad idea,under canopy view is magazine cover worthy MAN :D as you can see they are on fabric pots above plastic draining pot holders, the runoff is collected downthere and each of the pot holder has a plastic tube glued with water resistant superglue so after every water all the runoff water is collected from a pump with just a push of a button, the irrigation watering system is also connected and works pretty nice i have been giving them the water also by a simple push of a button with irrigation seem to love it (its not a automatic feeder connected to a reservuar i have two waterpumps one for watering one for collecting runoff i simply put the water intake plastic tube in my water bucket & press the button manualy, worth mentioning all of them have been reciving the same nutrient solution and same water although pheno#1 have been streching 4-6cm more than her sisters and she developed abit of blueish leafs even the soil in all 4 pots was from the same 2 soil bags and mixed very well before filling them so soil manifacturer excess nitrogen mistake is also not possible, i feel it is the phenotype but just to make sure there will be no excess nitrogen in the end i watered her with the exact same water amount as her sisters but 260ppm less for her this time just to make sure the blue is gone soon.she will be fine and emerald in few days. From today the UV FROST is ON from now too. Oh i forgot to mention thrueout the diary they where never topped only trained with these red clips besides the pheno3 that came topped "from god" since sprout and i wouldnt recommend topping autos (btw pheno 3 is a monster and smells wayy more LOUDA than the siblings.) although the pheno1 remains the main subject further on she got fuel to shoot for the stars and we rlly dont want that in this compact mini research area dont curse me for the substrate choice :D this stuff translates a bit of that earthy taste to the buds and way less attention than coco.

I never intended for a huge plant. She grew in very close quarters with 2 other plants. I did accidentally split her in vegging down the middle. She has grown well for what I was wanting out of her. Nice heavy buds formed that have a great smell of sweet, and fruity. Sending her off to dry and will update when I get her processed out for smoke report.

Things are rolling right along for the frost bangers.Showing some nice bud development and some stretch as I have the light intensity at 50 percent power.I feel like they are loving it so I’ll keep the intensity the same for now.

A lot happened this week but she seems to be recovering and not worsening. I fed plain ph’d water end of last week but got a little too cavalier with too much top feeding and adding stuff without adjusting ph. All the top feeding is how debris and runoff kept getting into the base and mucking it up. I was out of homemade calmag so I had a bottle coming in the mail. I ended up adding calmag to not a lot of water and not ph’ing it and top feeding/pouring rest into the watering base later in the day after adding plain ph’d water. Wrong move. She appeared to slow down drinking but I chalked it up to a full base and plenty of top feed. Topsoil dried out very fast but I let her sit assuming she would start drinking eventually. This continued for 3-4 days, and also was happening to one of the photos I did the same thing to. Starting smelling something rank around this time so I checked the bases and found what is in pics 9+10. Ph was 8.5 and had this brown chunky film all over!! Took out all 3 bases and scrubbed thoroughly with soap and water and rinsed with some vinegar. I was worried about how dry and hard the soil/roots must be but I also didn’t want to do a full flush so close to her finishing. I opted to put 1/2 strength tiger bloom/big bloom and full strength calmag into full 1.8 gal water can ph’d to 6.5 and top feed slowly over ~20 min so it didn’t just rinse everything out. About 20% runoff which tested at 5.8 which seemed a little low but not as terrible as I feared. Cleaned the base back out after no more runoff and refilled with normal strength tiger bloom and calmag, ph’d to 6.5. This seems to have been the right move, 60 hours after flushing/cleaning/refilling, she has drank 75% of the base and topsoil is also not dried out. But we’re not done!!! The 2 photos also got a clean base and proper refill. The next day I checked the bases and found some insects on top of the water in ALL 3 bases shown in the last 2 pics. Teeny white things that kinda jumped on top of the water and seemed to stay underneath the fill port to get some of the light coming through? Hard to identify but I think they might have been springtails and not something destructive. Either way I made a weak vinegar/water solution and sprayed them aggressively over 24 hours and they seemed to die and not return. Only saw them in the bases and not anywhere on the plant. A lot of the leaf tip curling and spots spread from last week but seems to be contained and not worsening at the time of writing this. It seems contained to the top ~30% of the fan leaves and minimally on sugar leaves. While her buds did grow and thicken, I’m sure this set her back a little. All in all she had the water ph imbalance, definitely some light stress, nute burn and a little potassium deficiency. Got a little cheap digital microscope as well, trichomes still maturing with at least 30% still clear, plenty of white pistils as well. Some purple coming in on sugar leaf tips. Smell is much stronger. Idk if this is indicative of the buds as well or the “right way” but if I remove any small fan leaves I swipe the stem between two fingers to smell the oils. Still giving a very strong funky citrus scent with an earthy finish. Flipped lights to 12/12 for the photos at the end of the week. I just couldn’t wait any longer with how big the photos are. It also didn’t help that when I adjusted the light for the mimosa and moved it to the middle, the photos were getting much less and resulted in them stretching a lot with too much internode spacing. Not the end of the world but supercropping is definitely in their future.

Second week, little to tell, the girls are big and looking to root, I have passed them to pots of 3 liters, at the moment only water and Rhizotonic to stimulate, and are already under the 600wLED
