Laughing Buddha – Woche 20 | Blütewoche 5 Blütewoche 5 war deutlich angenehmer als die Wochen davor. Die Probleme an den Blättern sind zwar weiterhin sichtbar, aber zumindest scheint die Situation momentan nicht weiter zu eskalieren. Die bereits aufgehellten Blätter bleiben natürlich hell und auch die vorhandenen rostbraunen Punkte verschwinden nicht wieder. Was mir diese Woche aber deutlich wichtiger ist: Neue Flecken sind praktisch nicht dazugekommen. Ob die Chlorose komplett gestoppt ist, möchte ich noch nicht behaupten. Dafür beobachte ich sie lieber noch ein paar Tage. Aber zumindest wirkt die Entwicklung momentan wesentlich ruhiger. Ein großer Unterschied zu den vergangenen Wochen ist das Wetter. Draußen hat es deutlich abgekühlt und das merkt man sofort auf dem Dachboden. Unter Licht lag das Klima zuletzt beispielsweise bei ungefähr: 24 °C / 54 % rF / VPD 1,37 kPa / ca. 890 PPFD Das ist momentan ziemlich genau die Richtung, die ich haben möchte. Ob die Kombination aus hohen Temperaturen, niedriger Luftfeuchtigkeit und hoher Lichtbelastung tatsächlich die Ursache für die Blattprobleme war, wird sich jetzt langsam zeigen. Im Moment spricht zumindest einiges dafür. Der Bodensensor hat mich verarscht Beim Gießen gab es diese Woche noch eine kleine Überraschung. Nachdem ich einmal einen Tag nicht zum Gießen gekommen war, gab es am nächsten Vormittag zunächst 5 Liter. Die Bodenfeuchte fiel danach überraschend schnell wieder ab und zeitweise sah es so aus, als würde die Buddha absurd viel Wasser verbrauchen. Später stellte sich allerdings heraus, dass einer der beiden Bodensensoren vermutlich beim Arbeiten an der Pflanze etwas verrutscht war. Nachdem ich ihn neu gesteckt hatte, sprang der Wert direkt von ungefähr 25 % auf rund 40 %. Damit ergab das Ganze plötzlich wesentlich mehr Sinn. 😅 Am folgenden Tag bekam sie insgesamt 9 Liter, aufgeteilt auf 4,5 Liter morgens und nochmal 4,5 Liter abends. Seitdem beobachte ich die beiden Sensoren wieder etwas genauer, bevor ich mich nur auf einen einzelnen Wert verlasse. Jetzt passiert endlich das Interessante Während ich weiterhin die Blätter beobachte, macht die Buddha einfach das, was sie in Blütewoche 5 machen soll: Sie baut Buds. Und der Unterschied innerhalb dieser Woche ist inzwischen ziemlich deutlich. Die einzelnen Blütenstände werden sichtbar dicker und beginnen zunehmend miteinander zu verschmelzen. Gerade an den größeren Tops entsteht langsam eine richtige zusammenhängende Cola. Als Größenvergleich musste diese Woche sogar ein Feuerzeug herhalten. Besonders schön ist, dass nicht nur ein paar einzelne Spitzen gut aussehen. Über die komplette Fläche verteilt stehen inzwischen sehr viele brauchbare Buds. Auch entlang der längeren Triebe sitzen unterhalb der Tops weitere Blütenstände, die zunehmend an Volumen gewinnen. Harz gibt es jedenfalls genug Die Harzproduktion gefällt mir inzwischen richtig gut. Die Sugar Leaves sind teilweise stark mit Trichomen überzogen und auf den Nahaufnahmen sieht man schon sehr schön, wie dicht die Oberfläche inzwischen besetzt ist. Gleichzeitig sind weiterhin sehr viele frische weiße Stigmen vorhanden. Das heißt für mich vor allem: Da kommt noch einiges. Einige Buds wirken bereits ziemlich kompakt, während andere momentan noch deutlich mehr in die Höhe bzw. nach außen bauen. Gerade deshalb dürfte der Zeitraffer dieser Woche interessant werden. Beim täglichen Reinschauen nimmt man die Veränderungen kaum wahr, aber im direkten Vergleich sollte man den Zuwachs an Blütenmasse ziemlich deutlich sehen. Fazit Blütewoche 5 war für mich vor allem eine Woche der Stabilisierung. Die Blattprobleme sind noch sichtbar, aber zumindest die rostigen Flecken scheinen momentan nicht weiter zuzunehmen. Gleichzeitig sind die Temperaturen deutlich angenehmer geworden und das gesamte Klima läuft dadurch wesentlich entspannter. Und während ich noch versuche herauszufinden, ob die Stress-Theorie wirklich stimmt, liefert die Buddha bereits die deutlichste positive Nachricht selbst: Die Buds werden sichtbar fetter. 😋 Genau darauf soll der Fokus jetzt liegen. Wenn sie in BW6 genauso weiterbaut wie in dieser Woche, dürfte der Zeitraffer langsam richtig Spaß machen.

…very very very very love this Strains

Week 4 – Flowering (Day 22–28) 🌸🌱 At the end of Week 3 (Day 21) we carried out a deeper round of defoliation and some lollipopping. By now the stretch is coming to an end, with the plants settling close to their final height. We’ve also stopped foliar feeding, since every single plant is now covered in developing buds. To keep everything protected, we refreshed the beneficial insects, better be safe than sorry, how we say in German, sicher ist sicher. Already in this early stage of flowering, we can clearly spot differences in structure, bud formation and even the first aromas. Some phenos are showing exceptional promise — those will be the ones we’ll highlight more in the coming updates. 🔎 Pheno notes so far: PG 34 – balanced structure, well-developed branching, consistent stacking. PG 52 – dense flower set, compact top formation. Pink Gelato stands out for its sweet candy-like fruit aroma, paired with symmetry and early bud quality.

Great week

Plants are growing at full speed and still looking good, roots grew so fast it's already time for a new transplantation. This time I did repot into 15L fabric containers (by Gronest). Medium is still made of pure soil (LightMix by BioBizz) then enriched with GreenBuzLiquids nutrients.

Day 3 of flower & these ladies are stretching great! We are having a bit of a calmag Deficiency right now but currently in the process of trying to fix it so hopefully they bounce back! The Gelato OG from seedsman is a monster to only be 42 days old not sure if I just got a good pheno or what happened but compared to the other gelato beside it from the same bag it looks like a completely different plant! Can’t wait to see how the buds turn out! Happy growing friends!✌️🏼🙏🏼 Day 4 of flower - recharge water at 6.5 Day 5 of flower - ladies are really starting to fill out & stretch, can’t wait to see how this run turns out✌️🏼🌱 Day 7 of flower - Not much to say everything is going great so far! Thanks for following & happy growing friends✌️🏼🌱 Day 8 of flower - They are all stretching & growing so much everyday! Couldn’t be happier so far!👍🏼🤙🏼 Day 9 of flower - end of week 7 things seem to be going great so far, fingers crossed we can keep it this way through harvest! Happy growing friends & thanks for watching!✌️🏼🌱

D64. We're at the start of the fourth week of flower, and today was a busy day. First, I had to remove the old lights before swapping in the light from my auto tent. All while trying to avoid trashing the plants in the way too full tent. Not an easy task. The entire mission, with changing the light in the auto tent as well, took a couple of hours. I wish I could keep the Greenception lights in the tent as they're high-quality lights, but the Kingbrite has a much lower profile and thus takes up much less space. Space that I desperately need considering how insanely much these girls stretched. One of the tops on the second girl has unfortunately already been bunt by being too close to the light, and I'm sure I will run into light bleaching and probably foxtailing as the grow progress, but I hope I will be able to pull it off with the Kingbrite light. I also added some wire support to the branches that I super-cropped, as they looked somewhat sad after all the abuse to the canopy while swapping the lights. ------------------------------ D66. It looks like the girls have FINALLY stopped stretching. Phew! Yesterday, I gave each girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.2 with humic acid and EM-1. Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) arrived, and I dispersed them in the tent to deal with the thrips. ------------------------------ D68. All is well in the tent, but now when the thrips are (hopefully) under control, it's time to address the VPD. It has gotten seriously out of wack due to dropping temps, plus I increased the humidity to make the environment more inhospitable for the thrips. The temps were low due to the light change as the new one is running a lot cooler, but the temps have also dropped outside. The heating in the lungroom has been off until now, so I turned that on and lowered the humidity threshold on my exhaust fan. Finally, I put my small humidifier in the tent, generating extra heat and decreasing the humidity. So far, the VPD has increased from a terrible 0.4-0.5 to an acceptable 0.9, and I'm hoping it will increase further as the ambient RH drops as we move into winter. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the fourth week of flower, and all is well in the tent. The VPD has gone up to 1.0, which is a nice improvement to what it was only a couple of days ago. I haven't scouted yet for thrips, but I will give the lacewings a couple of days to do their thing and then look closer. However, I went to WAR against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead. The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive. ------------------------------

Hey folks. Into week 17, ran into some issues with plant #1 with total failure due to a windstorm and my laziness for not putting supports up sooner! Lesson learnt. Added bamboo stakes and supported most of the big heavy colas. Rain has been an issue so I slapped the ladies under the tent and a week ago sprayed some neem oil as preventive maint for powdery mildew. Iv cut watering in half due to the high humi levels and rain we been getting. Chop day is around thr corner! Hope you guys enjoy the content

Easiest week so far, no problems just growing. I did spray some neem oil on my soil a few days a go to keep pests out of the fox farm soil. Week 4 will bring in topping after the next node grows in, should be 2 or 3 days. Also towards the end of the week after she recovers from topping I will begin LST. Will provide pics throughout the week Posted first vid in real light not my 600 watt LED. Mainly for health purposes. This will be so interesting to see how blueberry will develop after an accidental FIMing lol. Personal Note: Wait to top when there is a full mainstem and not barely new growth. Meaning wait til the new growth has 2 fan leafs spread out, and not when they are just leafs barley sprouted from the main stem. Rookie mistake number 1 so far at the end of week 3. Or maybe time will tell if blueberry will be gracious enough to be a beautiful big buded tree. I read where FIMing can develop up to 4 extra colas and still grow beautifully. Fingers crossed.

Think i'm gonna chop her down next week, buds lookin nice n frosty

Hi people 🤗 A lot has happened this week 😄 The 3 Blue Cheese and 2 Kosher Tangie Kush which have been in the flowering tent for 1 week have become very bushy 👍 Unfortunately I just noticed that I completely forgot to take pictures of the Blue Cheese Phenotype # 3 🤦‍♂️🏻 The picture will be given later. The rest of the Vegi tent is also progressing very well. They are repotted in 11 liter pots this week, and then come to the flowering chamber die the following week The next week there will be new pictures, until then I wish everyone a nice start into the new week 🙏🏻💪🏻 Let it grow 🍀🌱

Welcome to week 12 💚 I hope for good flower production on the PR and SD this week. Still not sure if the Sundae Driver is a hermie or not, maybe it recovered but i have no clue. The Strawberry Gorilla should continue to put on some weight, I hope she fattens up this week. Happy growing to everyone!

I.missed a week last week while in the room. My.phone died and it was late and I only go in about every three days or so to adjust and water! This Bruce is a strong pheno and I will be flipping them all into flower soon !

All pictures were taken on day 43 She is definitely in 1st week of flowering and stretched a lot the last couple of days I gave her 600ml tap water with 1ml/l BioBloom, 1ml/l TopMax, 0.3ml/l BioGrow added end of the week

Day 6 update - adjusted tie down points and watered. Still no pests and no other significant signs of stress. They ladies are happy and healthy. Day 3 update - Two of the plants have started transitioning into flower. Next week BB1 and BB3 will be dubbed in flower. BB2 pheno is strange I just can't quite tell if it's even in flower... it's lanky and strange. Temps have been steady and now that the heat in the home is on I have to watch heat stress again. BB3 has recovered fully now with new growth looking absolutely perfect. No problems with pests or anything else at the moment. ....Previously.... (day 7 of week 3 - day 1 week 4) One feeding of baking soda to raise the PH of the soil. I decided to tie the girls down the last day of week 3. The topped plant (Bb2) looks more like the strain should than the other 2 phenotypes according to pictures. But the BB1 pheno is so bushy it will be a bigger yeilder for sure. The Bb3 pheno has recovered a bit we will see if the baking soda addition to the top watering helps rebound her better. Selective defoliation was done on all 3 phenos with some under growth getting removed and a couple target fan leaves blocking prime budsites.

Hope you all enjoy the video, but don't share ok it has an uncleared Beatles Song that The good Dr. loves ;-) Peace
