WEEKLY UPDATES:
9/20- 💥BOOM!💥 Week Six of flower is here and my girl's in high gear, stacking her flowers and pumping out trichomes!
Today I watered her with 1.5g de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ added, then ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉. I turned her pot and plucked a couple of yellow shade leaves...the basic daily maintenance.
9/22- I didn't water her yesterday as she looked great and was 'praying' hard. Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ which I gave her through her drip pan (bottom chuggin) and I also gave her pot a turn.
She continues to have a great deep green color that is beautifully contrasted by the snow white trichomes piling up on them! Her height has not really increased but she is extremely bushy with tight node spacing which will necessitate plucking some leaves to keep the light penetrating into her canopy.
9/24- We're getting close to wrapping up Week Five of flower in a couple of days and she'll be past the half-way point with the most exciting weeks yet to come!
I didn't water yesterday and today I went ahead and Top Dressed her with 2 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Gold Premium 4-4-4, 1/2 cup Down To Earth Bio-Fish, 1/3 cup Down To Earth High Phosphorus Bat Guano and 2 cups of Worm Castings.
I watered in the Top Dress with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ and let her enjoy her meal! 😜
9/26- After her heavy watering on the 24th I didn't water yesterday and when I checked her today at 'lights on' and she still had some weight to her pot and her leaves were praying hard so I held off on watering today and will hit her tomorrow with her usual 0.75g watering.
~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

This 3 of these seem to be doing fine. I actually accidentally threw away 2 of the other seeds by misplacing the proper germination paper towel. That's OK though all 3 of these popped so can't complain. Hoping to see a lot of stretching and a more leaf growth.

Buds are really fattening up. Now comes the difficult part, deciding when to start the flush and then when to harvest. With likely warming days, quite likely an early harvest is on the cards so I can avoid curing in a hot tin shed. Closely monitoring the extended forecast to hopefully harvest at the perfect time as all will be wasted if curing in a 30c tent. At the moment due to a changing forecast its possible I will only achieve a 5 day flush, and have 3 days to cure in mild temps. Unfortunately from then it looks.like things seriously heat up, if extended curing is required then likely I'll bring in side the house in mason jars during the heat of the day then cure further on the drying rack in my tin shed till during the cooler evenings until ready. No. I know this isn't ideal but I've done this previously and always ended up with good.buds just way more effort that's for sure. This being a secret grow has additional challenges that's for sure. My wife, and 2 teenage kids have no idea what goes on in this shed as to their knowledge only garden tools are stored here, if anyone in my house did gardening apart from me then this grow would be impossible that's for sure

Tag 51 (Blütetag 11)! Der Dschungel ruft! 🌿🔥
Die zweite Blütewoche ist angebrochen und was soll ich sagen? Der Stretch ist in vollem Gange! Seit der Umstellung am 19. Dezember haben die Z-Vallys, OreoZ Milkshakes und die Zapplez 2.0 ordentlich an Fahrt aufgenommen.
📈 Statusbericht vom Feld:
• Der Stretch: Die Mädels strecken sich jetzt massiv Richtung Licht. Dank des konsequenten LST (Low Stress Training) haben wir ein wunderschönes, gleichmäßiges Blätterdach (Canopy), das die gesamte Fläche perfekt ausnutzt.
• Wochenrückblick. Das Mikro-Wunder, sm letzten Dienstag gab es das absolute Highlight für das Bodenleben.Frischen Komposttee! ☕✨ Damit haben wir die Mikroorganismen im Living Soil so richtig befeuert, um die Nährstoffaufnahme für die kommende Blütenpracht zu maximieren.
• Technik-Check: Wo Licht ist, ist auch Schatten – mein PH-Messgerät hat leider den Geist aufgegeben. 🛠️ Aber Kopf hoch: Im Living Soil von @panova25.de und @living_roots_pro verzeihen uns die Mikroorganismen solche Ausfälle eher, da das Substrat eine starke Pufferwirkung hat. Ein neues Gerät ist natürlich schon in Planung!
🌸 Vom Stretch zur Knospe
Die Vitalität ist unübersehbar. Das satte Grün und die kräftigen Stiele zeigen uns, dass die Pflanzen bereit sind für das, was jetzt kommt. Die Vorblüte bildet sich aus, und wir begleiten jeden Zentimeter des Wachstums engmaschig.

More lime on this one than gas so far, but still early to tell final smells, I had this plant going with my first Apricot Smash and my second Tropicana Cookies Auto. Harvested both plants. This plant will finish in here almost alone. I should be popping 3 Wedding Glue Autos from Seed Stockers by the end of the week, still in the mail.

Well firstly the team at seedstockers has some great genetics and they perform well , this girl could have been a real producer if it was grown better.. but that being said the customer service was great and so was the strain selection ...She had no real issues except I was growing in a unfinished basement which really hurt me in the beginning and I had hot soil so it was a rough start ...These are weds though and they bounce back as fast as the go down hill ..The plant has a great structure a main fat bud with many side branches that could have really gotten fat ...The colour and the smell is fantastic so is the taste when you smoke her ..she dried for 6-7 days and is easily burned with grey / White ash , flushed for a week prior to harvest .. I would defenitely grow again just in amore stable environment to get the most out of her but with all my mistakes she still gave me some stinky and sticky buds cheers canna family ...

Hello Diary.
The first week of vegetation is over. The plants thrive nicely, look healthy and satisfied. 😀
Purple Punch # 1 grew 11 cm in the first week of vegetation while Purple Punch # 2 reached 7 cm. I remind you that I had to repeat the germination of another Purple Punch, so it’s lower.
In addition to the nutrients that I mixed into the soil at planting, I started adding BioBizz’s Root-Juice.
I regulate the humidity with a humidifier, so the humidity varies between 50% and 60%.
With Purple Punch on the “Farm” there is also one Watermelon Auto that keeps them company.
Let’s see what the first week looked like.
27/01/2021 - Day 1.
Official first day of vegetation.
29/01/2021 - Day 3.
Watering. I prepared 4 liters of water but each plant got about 1 liter. p.H. I regulated with Plagron’s Lemon Kick at 6.1 and added 4ml / lit Root-Juice from BioBizz.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 22.9 degrees and 50% humidity.
02/02/2021 - Day 7.
Photographing and watering. After the photo shoot, I watered the plants, each getting about 1.5 lit. This time I didn't add any extras I just adjusted the p.H to 6.3. and the water temperature was 20.2 degrees.
I also measured the height of the plants
Purple Punch # 1 - 11 cm
Purple Punch # 2 - 7 cm.
That’s it for this week, thank you all for your support and likes. See you soon.

Things are getting serious now!🔥
#2 has developed an insanely large main bud, absolutely packed with trichomes and giving off a super pungent aroma. 🌿
Meanwhile, #1 keeps stretching and is still the biggest plant in the tent. It continues to give off that stunning sweet, tropical scent, which is just unreal!
Both plants seem to be moving fast—I have a feeling they might be ready in about two weeks. Let’s see how they finish up! 🤩

Busy week behind the microscope. The tricomes look clear to me. She ain't ready as yet. Struggling with keeping tent cool due to heatwave and lack of a/c. Nutes solution reduced. Only had base and 4 additives. Later on in the week had another watering at .7 E.C . Flush started on day 50. Final runoff was in mid 500ppm. She's smelling lovely, absolutely lovely. She spent 48hrs in the dark and then chop day. A really lovely plant to grow. Absolutely no worries at all.

Supper easy growing , great genetics , a must have in any garden . Im still amazed by all of it,
This was just a delight grow, over all everything was great , genetics are among the best i ever grew, litle small and compact plant to what iam use to, but non or less they delivered on the quality, and also they did great on the number hehehe. Defently recomend this Runtz from Zamnezia Seeds, shout out to them, shout out also to Viparspectra and the amazing 200w LED they send me, this P2000 delivers way more of what i was expectic and omg do they love the spectrum , yes they do. Shout out also to AptusHolland since all of this wold b impossible without the best (for me ) nutrients on the market . Growers love to you all, stay tunned i still need to find time to edit the full round time lapse 💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏 as alwaythank you all for reading and taking your time and love with me 💚💚💚.

Day 40-47 (May 31st- June 7th)
(Day 41) For the first time in this grow these plants are looking halfway decent. Smell is ramping up too. I finally feel optimistic about this grow.
(Day 42) The two jacks and the chunky blueberry are showing early signs of N/Mg deficiencies. I know it’s late in flower but since I’m experimenting with this tent, I’m going to give them one final feeding of nature’s pride 2-5-5.5 (tbsp) along with a teaspoon of oyster shell flour and some rock dust. Everything else I’m going to give a teaspoon of rock dust and oyster shell. There is no way these amendments will fully break down in time to be used by the plant but they could at least use the pH buffering and trace amounts of minerals after their recent leach.
Everything but the BAOGC is covered in pistils that don’t really match their bud size. I hope they fill into their pistils because an over abundance of hairs drops the bag appeal like crazy.
Over the last few cycles, indoor and outdoor, I’ve definitely learned that different strains and phenotypes mature at different times. Sometimes really radically too.
(Day 43) None of the plants are fading at all but they’re still looking good. Black garlic I know should be fading but remains dark green and toxed. I popped a developing seed out of the main bud too. I wonder if that blueberry herm branch pollinated it at all. It seems like plants don’t really like that Destiny dark matter soil by itself. I find it works better mixed with coco or promix 1:1.
(Day 44) I’m starting to think I might be mixing up the TWOG and BAOGC. BAOGC took forever to fatten up last round and the 2 phenos I suspected already look done. I was thrown off by the similar terps. The beauty phenos are definitely TWOG
(Day 45) God these Jack Herer’s smell good. Nothing but fruity funk. Almost like a vanilla or blueberry yogurt. I would say this stuff has the most overpowering smell in the tent now. I’ve noticed they’re starting to foxtail like crazy. Blueberry#1 too.
I’m watering a final low strength feeding of seaweed extract on everything.
(Day 47) Everything really fattened up this week. Even at the beginning of the week I was saying I didn’t think they would fill out. Jack Herer and BAOGC specifically made some big gains and nearly doubled their density and still have quite a way to go on them too! The smell has ramped up and finally, everything is looking happy and healthy.

Week 3- Day 1 of Veg (Day 31 overall)
Water Change out Day
36 Gallons in
CalMag = .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil
FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal = 151Mil
FloraGrow = 3.8Mil/Gal = 137Mil
FloraBloom = 3.0Mil/Gal = 108Mil
PH DOWN = 1.72Mil/Gal = 62Mil
PPM = 546
PH = 5.88
This Grow has definitely been an interesting grow I have been playing with Over or Under since the beginning and it all started with me drowning the plants by adding too much water. I will have to make sure I watch that on all my future grows. I prayerful that this week will get me fully back on track, in my previous grows using my chart, I haven't had any issues during this week, so again prayerful that this is the week I am back on point.
3/5/2023
Week 3- Day 2 of Veg (Day 32 overall)
ROOT ROT!!!
I guess from when I drowned it I caused a lurking issue that really showed it's head today. The roots were looking not slightly bleached but looking black. I cut out what looked dead and I had to run to the local Hydro shop to pick up some items to see if I can fix it and strengthen the plants.
I picked up Mammoth Silica, ORCA, and ROOT Drip.
I completely drained the system and started it over today as well.
38 Gallons In
Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal = 19Mil
CalMag= .5Mil/Gal = 19Mil
Root Drip = 1Mil/Gal = 38Mil
FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal = 160Mil
FloraGro = 3.8Mil/Gal = 144Mil
FloraBloom = 3.0Mil/Gal = 114Mil
Orca = .5Mil/Gal = 19Mil
PH Down 60 Mil = PH 5.83
I also had to run by Staples I realized the paper I was using wasn't the right brightness and Lbs for the Photon App. What I needed to have 22Lbs 98 Bright. I recently saw a comparison of the different weight papers against a several hundred dollar Apage PPFD detector and with the right paper it was almost exact readings. With that my PPFD 355.
3/6/2023
Week 3- Day 3 of Veg (Day 33 overall)
Still alive!! #2 and #3 are still alive and it looks like no further damage to any of the leaves.
#2 needed 1 node topped. I will keep monitoring day to day.
3/7/2023
Week 3- Day 3 of Veg (Day 34 overall)
Well Both appear to be doing all right. I cut off the offensive leaves from #3 nothing new on shown on the leaves. I actually needed to top 1 node on #2. PH is stable, Temps are stable.. I will be changing out the water and Nutes on Saturday not waiting the 2 weeks.
3/8/2023
Week 3- Day 4 of Veg (Day 35 overall)
Well Both appear to be doing all right. I actually needed to top 1 node on #3 and 2 on #2. PH is stable, Temps are stable.. I will be changing out the water and Nutes on Saturday not waiting the 2 weeks. I think the additives are truly making a difference I think I will be adding them to all my grows from here on out.
3/9/2023
Week 3- Day 5 of Veg (Day 36 overall)
Both still appear to be on the mend Still some dark brown on a small part of the roots and I don't know if those are just dead but it doesn't look like it is spreading and I see a bunch of new roots forming. Nothing new on the leaves at all. So I think the trio that I added is helping. The plants also seem to be in raised happy position going towards the light. I still plan to change the water on Saturday and go from there.
3/10/2023
Week 3- Day 6 of Veg (Day 37 overall)
Moved the light up to 41 1/2" so 3' 4 1/2" away from the top of the Plants.
PPFD= 363
Power on my Light =62.5
Water Temp is holding steady=70.3
PPM= 534
PH= 5.92
Tent Temp= 72.5
Humidity= 50-60% I have 2 humidifiers running on INK Bird controllers monitoring it 24/7.
I will be changing out the water tomorrow even though I could let it go an extra week but I am still concerned that the Root Rot is clearing up and I don't want to risk it coming back. I want fresh Nutes/ water in the tanks.
I topped 2 nodes on #3
I topped 3 Nodes on #2
I also cleaned out some of the bottom third portion that isn't getting much light and not much growth at all.
#2: 8 1/2" tall, 18" Wide
#3: 7 1/2" Tall, 15" Wide

7 Diciembre: Se cambiaron las plantas desde la carpa de vegetación(120x120) a la de floración(150x150) en dónde hay más espacio para deshumidificador, ventiladores, etc.
Se sigue regando con 6.2pH y 3.0EC. Pronto se agregará una malla scrog.
10 Diciembre: ya hay claros signos de floración, se colocó una primera capa de malla scrog, el riego Generativo va como se planeó, con pequeños runoff llegando a 7EC, esperando subir hasta 10EC, con ese estrés controlado se mantienen las plantas en una altura óptima evitando que estiren mucho.
Hasta el día de ayer, las plantas estaban con 5 disparos(riegos) de 200ml cada uno aproximadamente, hasta obtener runoff, hoy sin embargo, habían 2 plantas con "wilting" lo que indica drybacks excesivos, por lo que hoy se agregaron 2 disparos extra, también llamados P1, y 2 mini riegos de 100 ML en la tarde, P2, para evitar el secado excesivo y el decaimiento de las plantas, las cuales están pidiendo más nutrientes.
El VPD se mantiene en 1.2~1.4.
