First Time grower, growing in a DIY growbox made from cardboard and taped mylar on the walls, some PC fans and an arraged carbon filter, a cheap led light bought on Amazon. I'm curious to see what i can harvest. Planning to do some lst on week 3 and start feeding 8-6-6 npk on week 2

Hey hey growmies! another longer week, as I wanted to show these girls bouncing back from some problems I ran into with my Kratky experiment. about halfway through the week my plants started drooping and showing signs of overwatering, my guess is either the plant outgrew her air roots or the reservoir was too hot, inhibiting the plants ability to take up oxygen. either way, a quick peek at the roots showed some very healthy looking noodles, so I decided to not take any chances and come up with a solution that would solve both those problems. I took a 3 litre container, put a coat of primer and black paint on it to keep light out, then a layer of plumbers tape to bounce some of the grow lights off of the container, theoretically keeping the heat out, some other things I could have done was paint it white, or put some wall insulation around it. I could have also kept my jars and tried some troubleshooting, fill them less and more often. but I am happy with the roots created by Kratky, that's the nice thing about that system, it forces the roots to grow more horizontally, the roots have now created a sturdy foundation for low stress training and are perfect for placing into DWC. so that's what I did, I added a tiny pump and air stone, and for now both plants will sit in this tiny container, The Runtz will be moved to the tent as soon as possible, hopefully before these girl's roots get entangled, If that does happen, I will have to trim back some of the Runtz roots, I don't want to hurt the autoflower. now you've likely wondered what is up with the host of deficiencies the plants are showing, honestly that's just neglect on my part. I can tell there's damage from overwatering, pH fluctuations and even some lockouts. I am more on top of it now, the pH is more stable, the plants are getting oxygen and will recover plenty before flower. Plus I get to show off how hardy ruderalis is, look at the auto-flower compared to the photo period, she barely cares about the high temps, pH fluctuations all she appears to want is more food, so I have increased the ec to 1 ms, but most importantly, ill keep the pH in a range where they can actually take up the nutrients now That's it for now Growmies, Thanks for checking out my diary.

Seems like ss is bushiest top right shortest. Hindsight bottom right. GS Top left. Update 3 days later hittem all with light mist of MLE.

Im playing the album PLANTASIA 2-5 times a week, i have set down a bit the ph adding 15 ml of white vinegar every 4 L of water, with some onionpeel water and oxygen water, only once a week watering, the moisture is still there in the soil, very happy trying to do as much as i can until i can afford better, any suggestions?

Had a lil fun this week letting them grow on out a bit before I take cuttings

9/27/2018 Been a rainy damp week,cooler nights, no moulds as of yesterday and will update photos shortly if weather permits. Speak of the Devil, this am #2 has two spots of mould,cut ✂️ out,and trashed. All others no mould, #4 is covered with sand it keeps getting blown over!.#2 fading, #1 still Growing nice green very little fade just lower leaves lots of new pistils,#3 all hairs gone brown, and smells like Real old school Skunk!👍not much bud but still have couple weeks of flowering to fatten up and taste of Skunk getting me excited😁 10/02/2018 Week 7, day 5. Rainy days still very little mould just #3 so far. #1 looking fantastic.#2 pistils brownish,#3 pistils all brownish red dont see any New pistils but branches drooping from their weight #4 is still popping New flowers but lots brown all over, hope 2 weeks to finish! But cold is coming soon. #1 no signs of slowing down putting out lots of fresh flowers! Does not mind the cooler weather. Last bit of molasses to super charge microbes in the soil. Hope she comes in at 8-10 weeks👍 53-70 days flowering.

👑 8×8 Adventure – Week 15 🌿 Godfather OG – Pheno B by Zamnesia 👑🔥 💚 BIG MAMA'S GRAND FINALE — A PERFECT RUN, A BEAUTIFUL HARVEST & A QUEEN COVERED IN FROST! ❄️👑 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 MY FRIENDS... BIG MAMA HAS DONE IT! 👑🔥😂 Look at this girl! Look at those flowers! Look at that density! Look at that frost! And look at how beautifully she's carried herself from the beginning of this adventure all the way to harvest! Our Godfather OG Pheno B. Our Big Mama. Our beautiful, compact, heavy, frosty Queen. And honestly? What a run this girl has given us! 💚👑🌸 Some plants make you work for every little bit of progress. Some plants keep you guessing. Some plants have difficult moments that make you stop, observe, rethink, and learn. And then we have girls like Big Mama. From day one until now, she's been an absolute pleasure to follow. No major issues throughout the run. No difficult final chapter. No last-minute drama. She developed beautifully, built a substantial structure, produced dense-looking flowers, and carried herself all the way to harvest without giving us the kind of problems that made her sister's journey so challenging. And I absolutely love that! She's compact, she's beautiful, she's incredibly frosty, and she's been one of those plants that makes you smile every time you look at her. She's been a proper little Mama! Well... Not exactly little, considering how much weight those branches were carrying! 😂💪👑 But you know what I mean. She's been a beautiful plant from beginning to end, and now it's time to celebrate what she's become. We're starting this report with the final growing moments and harvest day, moving through the studio photographs and flower close-ups, showing her in the dark before harvest, and then following her into the whole-plant drying stage. We're also beginning to show the dried plant and the first moments of trimming. But, once again... WE HAVE TOO MANY PHOTOS! 😂📸💚 So yes, we're dividing the reports again. I apologise, my friends, but when I take photographs, every image has a reason for being there. I don't just take hundreds of pictures and hope a few are worth keeping. I take them because I want to document something specific, preserve a moment, or capture a detail that deserves attention. And with Big Mama, I genuinely want to share as much of this beautiful journey as possible. This report brings us through harvest and into the beginning of the post-harvest process. The next report will continue with the trimming, the remaining harvest details, the final results, and the smoke review when we're ready to share it. There's still plenty to come! For now, let's give Big Mama the spotlight she deserves. She's earned every bit of it. 👑❄️🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌱 A QUICK RECAP — HOW DID WE GET HERE? For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure! This project brought twelve individual plants and phenotypes together in one shared growing room. The idea was to document how different genetics and phenotypes would develop under the same general environmental strategy, lighting schedule, and overall growing approach. One of the defining aspects of the experiment was our 12/12 from seed technique. Rather than starting with a traditional longer vegetative lighting period, the plants were grown under a 12-hour light and 12-hour dark schedule from the beginning. We followed each individual plant week by week, documenting her structure, development, environmental conditions, and the differences we observed along the way. And Big Mama? She gave us one of the most enjoyable journeys in this room. From the beginning, she developed with a character that made her easy to appreciate. She built her structure. She developed her flowers. She became a substantial plant. And as the flowers grew heavier, the yo-yos became part of the family! 😂💪 But throughout all of that, she remained a beautiful, consistent plant to follow. No major problems throughout the run. No dramatic problems at the finish. Just a plant developing beautifully and reaching harvest in a condition that makes me genuinely happy. That's a wonderful outcome. And when we compare her diary with that of her sister, Godfather OG Pheno A, we get an especially interesting contrast. Same genetic name. Same general room. Same broad environmental strategy. Two individual plants. Two very different experiences. Her sister gave us a more challenging journey. Big Mama gave us a remarkably smooth one. And that's exactly why following individual phenotypes is so interesting. 💚🌱👑 ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA — THE GIRL WHO JUST KEPT SHINING I want to take a moment to appreciate this plant before we get into the harvest photographs. Because this girl has been amazing. And I don't mean that only because we're looking at her final flowers now. I mean throughout the run. She's been beautiful to document, enjoyable to follow, and consistent in a way that made the entire journey particularly satisfying. She didn't give us a major problem that suddenly changed the direction of the run. She didn't make us fight our way through a difficult final stage. She simply kept developing, and we kept documenting her progress. Of course, that doesn't mean every grow will be this smooth, or that one successful run guarantees the same experience with another plant. Growing always involves individual variation. But when a plant gives you a run like this, you appreciate it! 😂💚 And I especially appreciate that we've documented her from the earlier stages all the way through harvest. We can look back at the photographs and see how the plant developed. We can compare the structure at different points in the run. We can appreciate how the flowers evolved. And now we can follow her into drying and trimming. That's the beauty of a complete diary. We don't have to rely on our memory of what the plant looked like weeks ago. We've got the photographs. We've got the timeline. And we've got the story. Big Mama has been a pleasure from beginning to end. And now she gets her grand finale. 👑🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 📸 HARVEST DAY — ONE LAST LOOK AT BIG MAMA The first part of this update takes us into harvest day. Before the plant was cut, we took the opportunity to document her final appearance and capture those last photographs while she was still standing in the room. And I love having these images. There's something special about photographing a plant at this moment. You've followed her through weeks of development. You've seen her change. You've watched the flowers grow. You've supported the branches as the weight increased. And then, eventually, the growing chapter comes to an end. The photographs from harvest day preserve that moment. They show Big Mama as she looked at the end of her time in the room, before the plant was taken down and the post-harvest process began. And what a beautiful plant she was! She's compact compared with some of the taller girls we've followed, but she has developed a substantial structure and some seriously impressive-looking flowers. The density, the frost, and the overall appearance make her a pleasure to photograph. And because we've been following her individually, we can appreciate her for what she is rather than comparing her against a generic idea of what a plant should look like. She's Big Mama. She's got her own character. And she has absolutely earned her place in this adventure. 👑📸🌿 ──────────────────────── 📸 STUDIO TIME — LET'S GIVE THIS QUEEN HER PORTRAITS! Of course, we couldn't take Big Mama to harvest without giving her some time in the studio! 😂📸👑 The studio photographs allow us to look at her from different angles and focus on details that can be difficult to appreciate when the plant is standing in the room. We have individual flowers. We have different views of the plant. We have close-ups. And we have photographs that capture the character of this phenotype in a completely different way. I genuinely enjoy this part of documenting a grow. The room photographs tell us about the plant as a whole. The studio photographs let us slow down and appreciate the individual details. And the macro images give us an even closer look at the flowers and their visible frost. Every photograph contributes something different to the story. That's why I find it so difficult to reduce a collection like this to a handful of images. When I take a photograph, I'm usually trying to capture something specific. Sometimes it's the structure. Sometimes it's the flower. Sometimes it's the light catching the frost. Sometimes it's simply an angle that makes me appreciate the plant in a new way. And with Big Mama, there are plenty of moments worth preserving. So yes, we're sharing another large collection! 😂💚📸 Thank you for bearing with me while I divide the material into separate reports. I'd rather give these photographs the space they deserve than leave out half the story. ──────────────────────── ❄️ DENSE, COMPACT & FROSTY — EXACTLY HOW WE WANT TO REMEMBER HER Let's talk about those flowers! Because honestly, this girl looks fantastic. The flowers have a dense appearance, the frost is beautiful, and the overall structure gives us plenty to appreciate in the photographs. She's not trying to be the tallest plant in the room. She's not trying to outgrow every other phenotype. She's doing her own thing, and she's done it beautifully. The compact structure, the flower development, and the visible resin-covered surfaces all contribute to the final appearance that we're documenting here. And I particularly enjoy seeing the close-ups alongside the photographs of the whole plant. One gives us the bigger picture. The other lets us appreciate the details. Together, they tell a much fuller story. Of course, photographs alone don't tell us everything about the final dried result, and appearance isn't a substitute for the eventual measurements and review. We'll get to those details in the next report. For now, I'm simply enjoying what we can see. Big Mama looks beautiful. She's frosty. She's compact. She's dense. And she's given us an absolutely lovely plant to document. ❄️👑🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌑 ONE LAST MOMENT IN THE DARK — BEFORE THE CHOP Another part of this update shows Big Mama in the room with the lights off, just before harvest. And I wanted to include these photographs because they're part of the actual timeline. We see the plant under the grow lights throughout the weekly reports, but the final moments before harvest give us a different view. The room is dark. The lighting that has been part of her environment is no longer illuminating the plant for our photographs. And we have the opportunity to capture her in that final moment before she leaves the growing space. I like documenting these small transitions. They're easy to overlook when we're focused on the finished flowers, but they connect one stage of the journey to the next. The growing phase is complete. The plant is ready to leave the room. And the next chapter is about drying, handling, trimming, and documenting what follows. This isn't just a collection of beautiful photographs. It's a record of how we moved from one stage to another. And Big Mama's final moments in the room deserve their place in that record. 🌑🌿📸 ──────────────────────── ✂️ FROM HARVEST TO DRYING — THE WHOLE-PLANT HANG Once harvest day was complete, we moved into the drying stage. For Big Mama, we hung the plant as a whole plant rather than immediately separating everything into individual branches. That means the photographs in this section show the plant hanging intact as part of our post-harvest process. And I love seeing this transition documented. The plant that occupied her place in the 8×8 room is now hanging in the drying area. The growing chapter is behind her. The drying chapter has begun. And we're still following the same principle that has guided the rest of this diary: document what actually happened. We're showing the plant as it is, at this stage of the process, rather than jumping straight to a photograph of the finished buds. Why? Because the stages in between matter too. The whole-plant hang is part of this particular harvest journey, and these photographs preserve that moment. We'll discuss more of the post-harvest process in the next report, alongside the trimming work and the remaining details. For now, Big Mama is officially out of the grow room and into the next chapter. 👑🌿➡️🌬️ ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE DRIED PLANT — ANOTHER CHAPTER OF HER STORY As the report progresses, we're also beginning to show the plant after drying. This is where the visual story changes again. We're no longer looking at the fresh plant as it stood in the room. We're looking at the dried plant material as it moves into the next part of the process. And I want to show that transition rather than skip over it. The whole-plant photographs help us connect the harvest to the drying stage. The later photographs begin to show the dried material and the flowers as we start working through the trimming process. These are different moments, and each one adds another piece to the timeline. We'll leave the more detailed trimming discussion and the final assessment for the next report, where we can give those subjects the room they deserve. But for now, it's wonderful to be able to look back at the full journey. From a beautiful plant growing in the 8×8 room... To harvest day... To the whole-plant hang... And now, to the dried plant and the first stages of trimming. One chapter at a time. 💚🌿📸 ──────────────────────── ✂️ THE TRIMMING BIN — THE WORK BEGINS! And here we go! The trimming process is beginning to appear in this report, with photographs of the dried material being handled and the first flowers starting to go through the process. We're showing the trimming bin, the dried plant material, and some of the flowers as we begin working through them. But let's be clear: this is only the beginning of the trimming story. We're not trying to squeeze the entire process into this update. There are more photographs to share, more details to explain, and more of the harvest journey that deserves its own space. So think of this section as a preview. We're opening the door to the trimming stage, but we're not closing the story here. 😂✂️🌸 And yes, we're showing flowers before they've been fully trimmed. I want to document the material as it actually looks at this point in the process, not pretend that everything arrives at its finished appearance immediately. There's a journey between the plant hanging to dry and the final presentation of the trimmed flowers. We're documenting that journey. The trimming bin is part of the process. The flowers are part of the process. And the photographs preserve the stages as we move through them. We'll return to this in the next report and give the trimming story the attention it deserves. ──────────────────────── 💚 WHY WE'RE DIVIDING THE REPORTS AGAIN My friends... I owe you another little apology. 😂💚 We're doing it again. We've got too many photographs, too many stages of the process, and too many details that I genuinely want to share. And I know that splitting reports can feel like we're stretching the story out. But that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to preserve the story properly. When I take photographs, I don't take them randomly. I take them because I see something worth documenting. The harvest-day photographs show the plant at the end of the growing phase. The studio photographs show her individual character. The close-ups let us appreciate the frost and the flower details. The dark-room photographs capture the final moments before harvest. The whole-plant hang documents the drying stage. And the trimming-bin photographs show the next part of the process beginning. Those are different stages, and I don't want to lose them simply because we have a limit on how many photographs we can share in one update. So we're dividing the story into chapters. This report covers the transition from the final growing moments into drying and the beginning of trimming. The next report will continue with the trimming process, the remaining harvest details, the final results, and the smoke review when we're ready to share it. Thank you for being patient with the enormous collection of photographs. I promise there's a reason behind the madness! 😂📸💚 ──────────────────────── 🌱 SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT PLANTS — THE 8×8 ADVENTURE One of the things that makes Big Mama's story especially satisfying is the wider context of the 8×8 Adventure. We followed twelve individual plants sharing the same general room and environmental strategy. They experienced the same overall lighting ecosystem and growing approach, but they expressed themselves differently. Some plants gave us challenges. Some had their own peculiarities. Some developed different structures. And Big Mama gave us a remarkably smooth journey. From day one to harvest, she remained a beautiful plant to follow. That doesn't mean her experience can predict how every other plant will behave. It means that her individual journey is worth documenting and comparing with the others. And that's the whole point. We want to observe the differences, preserve the timelines, and learn from what each plant shows us. Big Mama's story is a particularly enjoyable one because she gave us so few problems along the way. She grew beautifully. She developed beautifully. And she reached harvest beautifully. Twelve plants. Twelve stories. And one very happy grower looking at this particular Queen's final photographs! 😂👑💚 ──────────────────────── 💬 COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

And Big Mama has reached the end of her growing journey. 👑💚🌸 What can I say about this girl? She's been amazing. She's been beautiful. She's been compact, dense, and incredibly frosty. She's been a pleasure to document. And, most importantly, she's given us a remarkably smooth run from beginning to end. No major issues throughout the grow. No difficult final chapter. No dramatic last-minute problems. Just a beautiful plant developing in her own way and reaching harvest looking absolutely fantastic. And I genuinely appreciate that. Not every plant gives you the same experience, and that's part of what makes growing so interesting. Big Mama was one of those girls who made the journey enjoyable. She built her structure. She developed her flowers. She needed support as the weight increased. And she carried herself all the way to harvest without turning the final weeks into a battle. She's been a proper Mama! 😂👑💪 Now, we're moving into the post-harvest chapters. The whole-plant hang is documented. The first photographs of the dried plant are here. The trimming bin has made its appearance. And we've started showing the flowers as they begin their journey through the trimming process. But there's more to come. The next report will continue with the remaining trimming details, the final results, and the smoke review when we're ready to share it. I'm looking forward to bringing those pieces together and giving Big Mama the complete report she deserves. For now, I want to celebrate her growing journey. She was a beautiful plant from day one. She's a beautiful plant at harvest. And she's given us a fantastic collection of photographs to preserve that journey. Big Mama, you have been an absolute pleasure. Thank you for making this run such an enjoyable one. Keep shining, Queen. Your growing chapter is complete, but your story isn't finished yet! 👑❄️🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow Big Mama throughout the 8×8 Adventure. 🌸🙏 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of this journey. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. 💡🔥 Thank you to LumiFlora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following these diaries on GrowDiaries. Thank you for the comments, the questions, the support, and for joining us throughout the journey. Thank you for appreciating the photographs and allowing me to share the different stages instead of reducing everything to a few selected images. A plant's story is about more than the final photograph. It's about the weeks that came before it, the changes we observed, the harvest, the drying, and everything that follows. And Big Mama has given us a beautiful story to tell.

Until the next report... Big Mama, you've been amazing! Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚👑🔥

Day 41, week 6 of flowering , she is going ok but really hope she starts to fill out & fatten up over the next 2 to 3 weeks as buds are still pretty small.

Veg into week 2 running smoothly thus far. No signs of deficiencies or areas of concern. See following specs. Seedsman (Critical-Auto) - 6.0 Inches - Growing Tall - Healthy Fan leaves BlimBurn (Apple Fritter - Auto) - 5.5 Inches Growing wide - Stems thicker then average. Introduced Raw (NPK) Veg Part 2 (3.5g's per gal) - Assists with topping rebound Hard Topping LST should begin this week Coco topped with worm casting and perlite Light run - 18/6 Temps High 70 - Low 80's - Humidity - 78-91% Heavy on the Myco *End of week recap above* 08-11

Plants are growing fast. In this phase they drink about 3 liters a day each.

British Delight - Wizard Trees Day 41 - I've watered her with 2L of RO tap water with nutrients, mixed individually, in order, and finally pH'd to 6.3. This week, she has been moved from the veg tent, to the flowering tent, so she is now on a 12 hour light schedule. Much like the Wizard Fuel, she has already started the stretching phase of flower and has nearly doubled her size in 48 hours 👏🏻 So far, these girls have blown me away with their genetics, so impressive compared to other brands that I've grown 👍🏻 because she is stretching, I dont want to stress her too much, so I'll be keeping the training and defoliation to a minimum until she finishes her stretch and moves on to the bulking phase 🙏🏻 so far, really good!!

She popped through the soil in 5 days and is doing great so far. Stretched a little more than I prefer, but it may help with the LST bending I have planned. Just getting water so far.

Using advanced nutrients 3/4 strength Switched to general hydroponics full strength on day 40. So this strain is also known as Cookie Monster Auto, and although the flowering times is listed as 55-63 days, the only full grow i can find the guy says it took 90 days and he got a huge yield from one plant. These three girls are prolly going to outgrow this tent, but that's not a bad thing :)

Hello everybody Welcome to the review week 😁 (Harvest pictures previous week) What can i say. Another very fun year doing this hobby. Grow number 5 since I'm here on growdiaries and ever year I improved because ofvall the knowledge here. Last year my NL'S started fantastic but it went horribly wrong during flowering. I was very motivated for this revenge round since NL is great strain and I knew where the mistakes were made in the previous grow. Made a well fed soil, added lots of RQS nutrients and made it extra airy by adding about 20 to 25 % extra perlite. Germination was made in a soil plug. Soaked the seed for 24h and then 12h in a moisted paper napkin . After the root came out a little bit i put her directly in the soil plug After 2 days she put her head out 🙏 Vegative phase was fun but she was stunted from the cold in the first weeks outside. With photoperiods that's not a problem but with autoflowers u end up with a small plant. Gave some neem oil spray too every week. No bugs have been seen on the plant. Fantastic product I did my first LST training and that was so fun to do. I fucked up here and there and should have spread the canopy more open but i give myself 6,5/10 for the first time 😁 Didn't break anything and she reacted well on my inexperienced hands. Will always do this from now on but with adjustments of course 😁 we grow to learn In flowering she did well but she stayed on the small side, wasn't very bushy and didn't completely filled up the space she had. But the plant was healthy and what she had did very well and delivered super nice buds. In the final 2 weeks she really bulked up a lot and gave me my first handsized buds ❤️🙏 I had Budrot because of high humidity in the morning and 2 small rains. It was extremely warm here during July and August but during the days we had 30° to 40° Celsius with low humidity and at night 15°Celsius with night and morning humidity of 80% to 100% 🤷‍♂️ 🙄 talk about a challenge Every plant will develop problems in such swinging climate conditions but the NL did pretty good. Lost about 20% of the plant unfortunately but that's life After 16 weeks she looked done for me. Chopped her and had to dry her in warm weather. The tent was around 23°Celsius, couldn't get it lower. After 5 days the smaller buds were on the verge of just a bit too wet but close to dry and i know it's better to put them in a little bit more wet instead of too dry because it's harder to add moisture than the other way around. Opened the jars 4 times daily the first week and it was okay. The handsized more wet buds were added after 7 days of drying and didn't have any problems.

Flowering day 30 since time change to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) Every day when I look into the tent, the sight and the smell are a dream 💚. They are all developing very well. There is no tip of the leaf that looks funny at the bottom or at the top 😃. They were watered every 2 days with 1.3 l each (nutrients see table above). They were all checked and checked for their health. Stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.thegratefulseeds.com/shop/feminized-seeds/limited-edition/blue-javaz/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Hey guys . My cutting heating broke 3-4 weeks ago, which was fixed immediately and everything went wonderfully. Now, 3 days ago, the central heating broke down in the entire room, so that at night I only have temperatures of around 13 degrees :-( . One or the other lady is slowly starting to see a phosphorus blockage, as this can no longer be absorbed at temperatures below 15 degrees, like many other nutrients :-( . A friend looked at the heating yesterday and came to the conclusion that a real company had to do it, which is by no means possible for a stranger to enter my room. I quickly ordered heating mats for all the boxes so that the ladies could at least get warm feet. That's all I have this winter full can do . Let's hope everything will be fine 🙏🏻. As soon as the heating mats are attached in the coming days, I will post them in the pictures. Now for the update. Despite the severe cold, the ladies are still doing well and have made good progres . The ladies only had to be watered once this week, each time with 1 l, because it absorbs the water very slowly because of the cold and I don't want to overwater it. I took every single plant in the pot to take a close look at their roots. These are snow white and look very healthy 🙏🏻. It was also the last time neem oil sprayed so that the last trips are finally gone. Otherwise everything was checked and a lot of planning was done, like I do with the heating mats. Since a friend had the same problem in one winter and the heating mats got 10 degrees plus on the pots, I am very confident that it will at least bring something for the last cold month 😃 🙏🏻. I'll start flowering tomorrow by switching to 12 / 12 h because the ladies mustn't get too high because the small flowering tent is only 160 cm high :-) until then have fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://gardenofgreenseedbank.com/candyland/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.
