The only thing that happened this week was that I added under-canopy lighting. I don't expect much as it's a cheap light with only 24W (four LED strips x 6W), but since it was just lying around, I figured I might as well use it.

Plants are growing good. I accidentally broke the tip off of the Norther light plant. Ahh 😱

Welcome to week 6 of flower for this lovely project! Last week was exciting this week should be even more exciting! With the ladies beginning to put on serious weight it's only a matter of time before I'll have to install a second net to help support the branches. With this being about the halfway point I'm excited to see them at the finish line! Huge shout outs to @MarsHydroLED for making epic lights and tents for people to grow in! Huge shout outs to all my followers and people who stop into the diary alike! Keep inspiring to grow! -The Projexx Day#36F Creamy Cereal is PUMPING frost now with its undeniable smell of fruit loops and milk. Day#37F Ladies are putting on mass and quickly! Day#38F Macmelonz continues to stretch and stack but looks like its nearing the end for her stretch phase. Hopefully she pumps HUGE kickass flowers for me. Day#39F Flowers are almost the size of a soda can now. The trichomes on these plants are wild like trichomes over trichomes. The flowers have really picked up on the aroma department as well very please with the plants. Day#40F Raised the light abit, Flowers are starting to display colour in them now can't wait to see them in a few weeks! Day#41F Pictures N/A. Ladies are still beefing up flowers some of the pistols are starting to turn. Day#42F Ladies are still putting on mass daily. Lots of lovely unique smells coming from the plants. Recap: Things went well this week , the ladies really put on some mass and all the flowers are hard as rocks! I will be taking away leaves over the course of the coming weeks to ensure the airflow to the flowers. Excited to see what the coming weeks bring!

Woche 12 | Laughing Buddha | Der Umzug ins Hobbit-Megaprojekt Diese Woche stand ein Meilenstein an. Die Autos sind geerntet und gecurt, die Gorilla 720W hängt endlich an ihrem Platz und die Laughing Buddha durfte in ihr neues Zuhause umziehen. Und was soll ich sagen? Sie scheint den Umzug nicht nur gut verkraftet zu haben… …sie scheint darauf gewartet zu haben. 😅 Das neue Zuhause In den letzten Tagen wurde der große Growbereich aufgebaut. * 120 × 120 cm SCROG-Fläche * Zwei Netze (später zur Blüte sogar drei) * Gorilla 720W LED Gen II * Controller mit Sensorik * Klimaanlage * Luftbefeuchter * Mehrere Umluftventilatoren Auf den ersten Blick wirkt das Setup fast absurd groß für eine einzelne Pflanze. Als die Buddha frisch eingezogen war, wirkte das Netz riesig und die Pflanze fast verloren. Keine 24 Stunden später sah die Sache schon ganz anders aus. Test der “Billig-Lampe” Bevor die Laughing Buddha endgültig ihren Platz bekam, wurde noch eine günstige LED getestet. Das Ergebnis war überraschend positiv. Für eine preiswerte Lampe lieferte sie deutlich mehr Licht als erwartet und könnte für Anzucht, Stecklinge oder kleine Projekte durchaus interessant sein. Trotzdem wurde schnell klar: Für dieses Projekt spielt die Gorilla in einer ganz anderen Liga. Der Unterschied in der Lichtverteilung ist enorm. Erste Messungen mit der Gorilla 720W Natürlich musste die neue Lampe ausführlich getestet werden. Aktuell läuft die Gorilla auf: * 50 % Leistung * 50 cm Abstand Gemessen wurden dabei rund: 374 PPFD Das klingt zunächst wenig für eine 720W-Lampe. Man darf aber nicht vergessen: Die Fläche ist riesig und die Pflanze befindet sich noch mitten in der Vegetationsphase. Der Vorteil liegt aktuell nicht in maximaler Intensität, sondern in der unglaublich gleichmäßigen Ausleuchtung. Die Buddha bekommt jetzt Licht auf die komplette Krone statt nur auf die obersten Spitzen. Klima läuft erstaunlich stabil Die ersten 24 Stunden nach dem Umzug wurden genau beobachtet. Temperatur: * Nacht: etwa 21–22 °C * Tag: etwa 23–24 °C Luftfeuchtigkeit: * meist zwischen 60–65 % VPD: * überwiegend zwischen 0,8 und 1,2 kPa Genau der Bereich, den ich aktuell sehen möchte. Besonders interessant: Die stärksten Wachstumsschübe fielen genau in die Zeit, in der Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit und VPD optimal zusammenarbeiteten. Die Buddha scheint sich unter diesen Bedingungen ausgesprochen wohlzufühlen. Die Reaktion der Pflanze Und jetzt wird es verrückt. Die Triebspitzen lagen nach dem Umzug vollständig unter dem Netz. Nur etwa 24 Stunden später drückten sie bereits wieder nach oben. Das Wachstum ist aktuell beeindruckend. Die Krone wird breiter, dichter und gleichmäßiger. Der Stamm hat mittlerweile eher die Dimension eines kleinen Baumes als die einer Zimmerpflanze. Besonders erfreulich: Die Mitte arbeitet genauso aktiv mit wie die äußeren Bereiche. Genau das möchte man bei einem großen SCROG sehen. Der Plan bis zum Urlaub In zehn Tagen geht es für zehn Tage in den Urlaub. Ursprünglich stand die Frage im Raum, ob die Buddha vorher noch in die Blüte geschickt werden soll. Nach reiflicher Überlegung fiel die Entscheidung dagegen. Der neue Plan: * Weiter wachsen lassen * Netz 1 füllen * Etwa 10 cm Höhe gewinnen lassen * Die Spitzen ins nächste Netz wachsen lassen * Bis zum Urlaub weiter verteilen Während des Urlaubs wird lediglich gegossen. Nach der Rückkehr folgt: * Große Bestandsaufnahme * Triebe neu verteilen * Alles auf eine Höhe bringen * Unterhalb der Netze gründlich aufräumen * Kurze Erholungsphase Erst danach erfolgt der Wechsel auf 12/12. Kontrolle statt Rekorde Ursprünglich stand die Idee im Raum, etwa 72 Tops unter den 720 Watt zu platzieren. Das bleibt weiterhin ein spannendes Ziel. Allerdings wird die Kontrolle über das Blätterdach wichtiger genommen als eine möglichst hohe Anzahl an Trieben. Lieber 50 bis 60 perfekt positionierte Speere als ein völlig überfülltes Netz. Alles, was später nicht sauber ins Konzept passt, wird konsequent entfernt. Am Ende zählt nicht die Anzahl der Triebe, sondern die Qualität des Canopys. Fazit der Woche Diese Woche hat gezeigt, welches Potenzial in dieser Pflanze steckt. Der Umzug verlief problemlos. Die Gorilla liefert exakt das, was ich mir erhofft hatte. Das Klima arbeitet stabil. Und die Laughing Buddha scheint gerade erst richtig in Fahrt zu kommen. Noch steht sie mitten in der Vegetationsphase. Noch laufen lediglich 50 % Lampenleistung. Noch ist nicht einmal das erste Netz vollständig gefüllt. Aber zum ersten Mal habe ich das Gefühl, dass dieses Projekt etwas ganz Besonderes werden könnte. Die nächsten Wochen werden zeigen, wie weit die Buddha dieses Netz tatsächlich erobern möchte. Eines steht fest: Langweilig wird es definitiv nicht. 😎

È appena cominciata la 3°settimana, le mie bimbe crescono molto bene😍.. A breve comincerò con LST! Aggiornamento: Ieri sera ho effettuato topping su tutte e tre le piantine, in giornata inizierò LST per riuscire ad esporre il più possibile alla luce le foglie tra gli internodi! Ultimo aggiornamento: Ormai e quasi finita anche la 3°settimana, ho iniziato LST da un paio di giorni, ho notato che le prime foglioline presentano delle piccole macchie marroni ma credo che sia normale considerando che si tratta delle foglie più vecchie.. Per il resto le piantine sembrano in ottima salute!💪

28/04/2021 (Day 43) Se realizo un nuevo cambio de solución, las plantas ya están tirando pelos y los leds están al 80%, se observo un gran crecimiento radicular y las paredes del tallo son increíblemente gruesas y duras. 03/05/2021 (Day 48) Las plantas vienen con un crecimiento optimo pero la flora se está tardando demasiado en hacerse presente, se estima que es debido al estrés que tuvo en semana 3 de vege produjo un retraso de algunos días. Esta semana se incorpora Safe Roots al sistema con la finalidad de que deje la solución lo mas limpia posible. También se realizaron bastantes defoliaciones ya que no existía penetracion de luz teniendo en cuenta el tamaño que están ocupando (85% del espacio de cultivo a 30/35 cm de altura) 05/05/2021 (Day 50) Se realizo un nuevo cambio de solución, esta vez utilizando safe roots para limpiar todo el sistema hidroponico. 600w de Citizen a 30cm en 160x80 y la plantas parecieran que si les doy mas luz van a usarla, es increíble la tolerancia a la alta intensidad de ppfd que tienen, gracias a esto logramos subsanar esa semana de raíces marrones. La temperatura bajo drásticamente y nos dejó el indoor en unos 22 grados, donde todo marcha perfecto.

Hello everyone ✊ 9th week has started, plant is doing very very well, I really like her shape and looks. She got first trichomes this week, some pistils also started getting brown, but I think she will need more time then 12 weeks to finish the life cycle. I'm happy to get some advices or feedback about this beauty. Keep you updated. Happy growing to you all 👽✊

9cm vertical growth this week. Lots and lots of flower sites. 😎 Very bushy. Very Kushy 😂 😍

Almost finished. A few more weeks to go. Just bulking up now. They are smelling realllllly strong. I love the way they smell growing organically. Nothing else like it. No more feeding these girls just watering every few days until harvest. Might try the molasses trick if anyone has had experience with it let me know in the comments. I'd love some feedback on how to do it or if its even beneficial at all. Thanks for following!

## Week 6 Update: Strong Vegetative Growth Continues 🌿💚 ### 🌱 Preparing for Flowering 🌱 Welcome back! In Week 6, all three of our plants—Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin—are still in the vegetative stage. They are thriving, and this extended time in veg is allowing them to develop robust structures, setting the stage for a strong flowering phase later on. --- ### 🌼 Vegetative Progress 🌼 **Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞** - Growing vigorously, with significant height and branch development. - The plant is responding well to LST, creating a wider and more even canopy. **Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿** - Compact and bushy, with strong, dense growth. - Ideal for smaller spaces, this plant is developing a solid foundation for flowering. **Blueberry Muffin 🥞** - Showing lush foliage and thickening stems. - The extended vegetative period is helping to ensure a healthy, resilient plant ready to support heavy buds. --- ### 🌱 Vegetative Techniques 🌱 To maximize growth during this stage, I’ve focused on several key techniques: - **Low-Stress Training (LST):** Continually training the branches to spread out and create multiple bud sites. - **Topping:** Applied to promote bushier growth and enhance yield potential. - **Defoliation:** Light defoliation to improve air circulation and light penetration to the lower parts of the plants. - **Nutrient Management:** Maintaining a balanced nutrient schedule with an emphasis on nitrogen to support healthy vegetative growth. --- ### 🌿 Looking Ahead 🌿 With all plants still in the vegetative stage, the focus remains on building strong, healthy plants. This extended veg time will pay off when we finally transition to flowering, ensuring that the plants are well-prepared to produce large, high-quality buds. Stay tuned for next week's update as we continue to nurture these plants and prepare for the eventual switch to flowering! Happy growing! 🌿💚

Chopped 4/28

Start 5. Blütewoche Der Strech scheint langsam fertig zu sein und bisher machen sich die 3 recht gut. Heute gab's für jede noch 1l Wasser mit 1g/l Greenhouse Feeding BioEnhancer. Ende dieser oder Anfang nächster Woche bekommen Sie dann nochmal nen Composttee. Hin und wieder werden paar Blätter entfernt. Ansonsten ist nur zuschauen angesagt🥀🥀

Hi Growmies, I feel I had a root issue, may have even been root rod. So as I saw a few of the very deeply submerged roots turning brownish and decay, I decided to generously cut away the affected areas and cleaned everything with hydrogen peroxide as good as I could and then properly rinsed the whole system. It seems, however, like she has started a whole new set of roots that started to submerge after I started feeding the orca from plant success (can be seen in the video below). Can highly recommend this product! She has also not show any signs of stress due the suspected root issues. Other than that she is a super pretty indica lady :) almost crazy how symmetrical she is. I have trained all main colas horizontally until the canopy had evenly opened up. Now I will let her grow towards the scrog and depending on her stretch, I will flip her at some point towards the middle or end of next week. Here is the code that’ll give you 20% in Zamnesia‘s online store, just input ZAMMIGD2023 at checkout. Thanks for stepping by and until next week!

3/14: Came back from a 4 day vacation to a lot of dry, wilted, dead leaves on Amnesia. Trainwreck is super starved as well. My automatic watering system didn't kick on, and the humidifier ran out of water within 24 hours, so there's that. It may be for the better though, as the PH of the nutrients had risen to 7.5. I tossed that mix, and made another 2 gallons of half strength nutes, molasses and epsom salt. I watered them both to runoff, and now I'll wait for Amnesia to prioritize which leaves she thinks are worth saving, and then I'll defoliate the dead ones. Hopefully trainwreck will just bounce back to green. She needed to be defoliated anyway, so this situation makes it easier for me to find the dead leaves. Edit: Came back to feed the last of the nutes and decided to pluck the crispy goners. I found that pulling the leaf stem downward will make the most dead leaves fall right off, allowing me to test a majority of the leaves and give Amnesia a major haircut. Luckily I left a lot of leaves from prior defoliation, as Amnesia REALLY sucked them dry. 3/15: Amnesia looks no worse for wear than last night. Trainwreck as well. Went ahead and pulled as many dead leaves off Trainwreck as I could. Some leaves were a mix of crispy brown and healthy green, which I think is pretty goofy, so I avoided taking any green fans but removed the crispy ones. The colors of the leaves around the buds are really fun to look at. 3/16: Amnesia is starting to SHED her dead leaves, allowing me to pick the leaves with almost no effort. I tested as many leaves as I could, giving another haircut. I would say this isn't a good thing, but since it's my first grow, I'm rolling with it. As long as Amnesia keeps the buds and its nearest leaves alive, it will slowly grow, albeit stunted. I'm not sure if this condition will cause it to finish sooner, but I'm going to need to watch the trichomes under a microscope every couple of days just in case she's ready for harvest. Trainwreck looks about the same as it did before. No new leaves are ready to be removed there yet. 3/19: Amnesia is still shedding leaves, but also bulking up. Trainwreck is slowly bulking up, and turning purple as well! Going to keep an eye on Amnesia's trichomes. Edit: because amnesia is yellowing so much, and because it's been 5 days, I'm going to feed both plants a quarter strength nutrient mix just in case I've been overfeeding them somehow.

“Ah, look at this photo of my baby in full bloom! It looks more radiant than me on a Monday morning before my coffee. Seems like it’s been feasting on sunshine and love. I’m tempted to put up a little sign that says ‘Do not disturb, growing’ to ward off curious glances. Who would’ve thought I’d become such a passionate plant caretaker? My friends think I’ve become a gardening expert, but I haven’t told them yet it’s just because I’m tending to my little cannabis plants! #HappyPlant #ClumsyCultivator”
