🌸 Blütetag 1 – Umstellung auf 12/12 Gestern haben wir offiziell die Blüte eingeleitet und auf 12/12 umgestellt. Damit startet jetzt die Stretch-Phase und die Pflanzen gehen langsam in den Blütemodus über. Heute Morgen wurde gegossen und dabei gab es eine Übergangs-Düngung mit Crazy Hills Nutrients, damit die Pflanzen den Wechsel möglichst stressfrei schaffen. Verwendete Nährstoffe (Crazy Hills): Upthrive (Grow Fertilizer) – weiterhin leicht mitgegeben für den Übergang Prosper (Bloom Fertilizer) – als Start in die Blütephase Spark (Flowering Stimulant) – zur Unterstützung der frühen Blütenbildung Elix (All-in-One Booster) – als zusätzlicher Support im Mix Zusätzlich wurden heute einige Blätter entlaubt (Defoliation), um die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern und mehr Licht an die unteren Triebe zu bringen. Ziel ist es, die Pflanzen jetzt sauber und offen in die Stretch-Phase zu schicken. Die Pflanzen zeigen noch leichte Anzeichen vom Training und der Umstellung, was direkt nach dem Flip normal ist. Jetzt geht es vor allem darum, die Bedingungen stabil zu halten und sie in Ruhe in die Blüte starten zu lassen. Training / Setup LST bleibt aktiv, damit das Canopy möglichst gleichmäßig ist. Die beiden hinteren Pflanzen (Roswell Code) wurden gezielt geöffnet und verteilt, damit mehr Licht ins Innere kommt. Ziel ist ein flaches, gleichmäßiges Dach für die Stretch-Phase. Da ich übers Wochenende unterwegs bin, wurde die Blüte bewusst jetzt eingeleitet, damit alles stabil läuft, während ich weg bin. Jetzt heißt es beobachten, ruhig bleiben und den Stretch arbeiten lassen 🌱 🌸 Flowering Day 1 – Flip to 12/12 Yesterday we officially switched to 12/12, starting the flowering phase. The plants are now entering the stretch period and slowly transitioning into bloom mode. This morning they received a full watering with a transition feed using Crazy Hills Nutrients to help them move smoothly into flowering. Nutrients used (Crazy Hills): Upthrive (Grow Fertilizer) – still included lightly for the transition phase Prosper (Bloom Fertilizer) – introduced to start flowering nutrition Spark (Flowering Stimulant) – added to support early flower development Elix (All-in-One Booster) – extra support within the mix Today I also did some defoliation, removing selected fan leaves to improve airflow and allow more light to reach lower growth. The goal is to send them into stretch with a cleaner, more open structure. The plants still show slight stress from training and the recent flip, which is totally normal at this stage. The main goal now is to keep conditions stable and let them settle into flower. Training / Setup LST remains in place to maintain an even canopy. The two plants in the back (Roswell Code) were opened up and spread out for better light penetration. Goal is a flat, even canopy going into stretch. I decided to flip now because I’ll be away over the weekend, so this timing keeps everything stable while I’m gone. Now it’s time to watch the stretch and let them do their thing.🍀

Plantitas sanas. Hoy cumplen 21 días de flora Día 22 comienzo con los fertilizantes de engorde.

Buds filling out Seeing more tricones Stuck with the fox farm standard feeding with these the whole time and they did great Going to grow it again with a new exhaust fan installed in tent to keep down humidity

Se secaron rápido. Los cocos son pegajosos y tienen aroma muy fuerte. En humedo me dio 150g en total. Tengo que esperar que se sequen para ya saber el resultado final.

I think I need to top it the men at the grow shop told me last week to wait for this week because the plant is very dense so every advice is welcome I also got the pH water tester last week but haven't use it yet i only use the pH down and soil tester so now I will use it and get the pH to go back to 6.5 again

? Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A Week 5 | The Beginning of Automation Some weeks are about explosive growth. Others are about building the foundation for everything that comes next. This week was definitely the second. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A has officially entered that fascinating transition where vegetative growth begins to merge with the first signs of flowering. The structure is now well established, side branches are reaching confidently toward the canopy, and every day she looks a little less like a seedling and a little more like the productive plant she’s destined to become. One of the biggest milestones this week wasn’t something the plant did… It was something I changed. ⸻ 🤖 Welcome to the AutoPot System This week Pheno A officially moved onto the AutoPot irrigation system. For anyone unfamiliar with it, an AutoPot is a passive watering system that feeds plants from the bottom rather than from the top. Instead of watering every day, a reservoir supplies nutrient solution through tubing to an AquaValve located underneath each pot. The AquaValve is actually the clever part of the entire system. Rather than continuously flooding the tray, it works like a mechanical float valve. As the tray empties and the plant consumes the nutrient solution, the valve automatically opens and refills the tray to a precise level before closing again. No electricity. No timers. No programming. Just simple engineering allowing the plant to decide when it’s ready for another drink. The result is a much more consistent root environment while eliminating daily hand watering. ⸻ 🌱 Learning a New Way to Grow Whenever I introduce a new piece of equipment, I don’t simply install it and hope for the best. I observe. I adapt. I learn. Because the nutrient solution now remains inside a shared reservoir, I also adjusted the feeding program. Some additives that perform wonderfully during hand watering aren’t ideal when they remain sitting in a reservoir for several days. For that reason, Sugar Royal and Power Roots were removed from the reservoir while continuing to use the remaining Plagron nutrients that are perfectly suited for AutoPot cultivation. It’s a small adjustment… …but one that helps keep the nutrient solution cleaner and more stable throughout the week. ⸻ 🌿 Growth Update Blueberry Muffin has responded beautifully. Internode spacing remains tight, the branching continues to develop evenly, and the canopy is beginning to spread naturally without forcing the plant into shape. The side branches that only recently sat beneath the canopy are now confidently pushing upward, creating the framework that should support numerous flowering sites over the coming weeks. The bird’s-eye photographs really show how symmetrical she’s becoming, while the side profiles reveal just how quickly those secondary branches are catching up. It’s one of those moments where you stop looking at individual leaves and start seeing the architecture of the plant itself. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues running intentionally warm. Day temperatures reached around 31°C while relative humidity averaged approximately 72%. Normally those humidity numbers might raise eyebrows during flowering. However, this is still the very beginning of bloom, where maintaining higher humidity encourages vigorous growth, active transpiration and continued expansion before the flowers begin stacking seriously. As flowering progresses, humidity will gradually be reduced to create a safer environment for dense buds while maintaining an appropriate VPD. Everything is part of the plan. Nothing is accidental. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This week’s reservoir was prepared using: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjusted to approximately 6.05 • EC around 1.83 mS/cm By keeping the solution simple and reservoir-friendly, the AutoPot system can do exactly what it’s designed to do—deliver a consistent nutrient profile every time the AquaValve opens. ⸻ 📸 This Week Behind the Lens The photographs this week tell the story perfectly. Bird’s-eye shots reveal a beautifully balanced canopy beginning to fill its space, while the side views highlight strong vertical development and excellent branch formation. One image captures the AquaValve itself—the tiny mechanical heart of the AutoPot system quietly doing its job. Another shows the reservoir that now feeds the plant automatically, reminding us that successful growing isn’t always about adding complexity. Sometimes it’s about making things simpler. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should be incredibly exciting. With the AutoPot system now fully active and Blueberry Muffin comfortably settled into automated feeding, I expect vertical growth to accelerate as flowering becomes more established. The coming days should reveal the first real stretch, increased flower development, and an even more defined canopy. The real show is only just beginning. ⸻ 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this adventure—from day one supporters to those who have only recently joined.

Unser erster Grow! Angefangen in einer 40x40x120 Growbox. Wir haben nicht mit allen Samen gerechnet aber sind alle nach ca. 3 Tagen gekommen.

Let's start rinsing the roots

Week 5 started well, plants looking good and time for some defoliation and lollipoping on low branches.. probably gonna flip to flower next week… let’s goooo

Just harvested last night so will come back on in next couple of week to review!! No estimates on yield as yet. But the smell is definitely pungent lemon and sweet smell. Can’t wait to try the end product!!

Started lst this week that's about it just cruzing. I do hate pics maybe it's my phone but they much greener in person.

Fresh AC Infinity Trellis Net in the 2x4

This plant of my three goes the fastest

Week 6 for this beautiful girl was flush week an she was ready to harvest she has some amazing plump nugs covered in trichromes this medic grow led is no joke as it helped produce some top of the line plants

Veg22, riego con 3.0 EC y pH 5.9, drenaje promedio de 5.8 pH y 2.6 EC(muy bien), primer riego con Sensizym para limpiar un poco las raíces, y este será el último riego de vegetación con Voodoo Juice, Tarantula y Piranha. Se hizo una pequeña defoliación de las hojas abanico más bajas y se volvió a ajustar el LST, ya van tomando la forma final. Veg23, creciendo bien. Veg24, se mide la temperatura de las hojas 22°C y se compara con la temperatura del indoor 23°C, con una humedad de 50% RH, la calculadora arroja un valor de VPD=1.24 kpa, lo que está dentro del rango óptimo. Veg25, hoy toca una pequeña defoliación y probaré también hacer un último apical en 2 o 3 plantas a modo de prueba. Al final, tomé un gran riesgo, y hice varios apicales extra y una defoliación más grande de lo que tenía en mente, tengo fe que resultará bien 😎👌 Veg27, riego con 0.8 EC y pH 6.0, drenaje de 6.0 pH y EC 2.0, se están alimentando y creciendo bien, quedan casi 2 semanas para pasar el fotoperiodo a 12/12, espero que crezcan suficiente para esa fecha. Veg28, un par de hojas de 2 plantas presentan mordidas tipo oruga, revise y no encontré nada, aplique spray insecticida, espero no siga pasando. A parte de eso siguen creciendo bien, quedan un poco más de 10 días para el paso a 12/12.

Today is 12/7/18, day 20 in flower. Today is 12/8.18, day 21 in flower, watered with nutes, picture day. Today is 12/9/18, day 22 in flower, just video of the girls.

Trying to tuck these huge fan leaves to expose the branches to get som growth the leaves were too big and blocking all the sites but man these plants are exploding on these self watering bases from ac infinity ️

I started the GSC seeds from HSC by soaking in a glass of water overnight then planted in coco coir under a humidity dome in my veg tent. I will plant them in flower box in a couple weeks when they can handle the feed that my BB clone is on right now. On day 5 my 2 other Gsc seeds rotted perhaps too wet but I have one good remaining for this run. I started White widow seeds and will run 2 phenos. Gsc is looking good so far.

started using Mega Crop on day 12 (week 2 of flower)
