Fast Buds Cream Cookies growing strong, nice bud site development! The leaves are more yellowish than I would prefer. I was not checking PH previously and started checking the PH this week. My well water comes out of the tap around 7.3-7.4, which is a bit higher than most recommend. This week I PH'ed down to 6.3 and fed her Recharge only. Hope to see some more green coming back over the next few days.

Again it's been a fairly productive week with the grow. Didn't quite hit my VPD target but I wasn't far from it. There is enough foliage that I managed to remove the humidifier from the tent. #3 Gorilla Cookies FF has come on great this week. Like the Tropicana Cookies she has shot up this week and has big leaves, because of this I also attempted to fim to slow her down a bit. Out of the 3 strains in the tent this one seems to have droopy leaves a good few hours before lights out, as if it's had enough for the day and gone to bed. I don't think it's got any issues but I'll keep a closer eye on this one. One more week of Veg I feel before 12/12. Power used for week Light (1.96+1.96+1.96+1.96+1.96+1.95+1.95)=13.7Kw Extractor (0.05+0.05+0.05+0.06+0.06+0.06+0.07)=0.4Kw Fans (0.31+0.30+0.30+0.30+0.3+0.31+0.39)=2.21Kw Humid (0.05+0.02+0.0+0.0+++)=0.07Kw Radiator (1.44+0.9+1.04+0.68+0.6+0.92+2.61)=8.19Kw Total for the week=24.57Kw Back in a week. Thanks for stopping by.

Lunes 19 Agosto 2024 Primera semana de plangulas, desafortunadamente solo dos de 4 blueberrys se dieron, de orange Blossom 3 de 3, una va muy débil pero las demás van muy muy bien, a ver que tal se van desarrollando.

Transplant week! Some of the girls in the tent started to droop but this one didn’t! She’s looking pretty good to me Come hang out with us in the discord!

. 🌿 Vorwort vom Gärtner: Es gibt tatsächlich nicht viel zu sagen. Am faszinierendsten finde ich momentan, wie viel Wasser die Pflanzen mittlerweile verbrauchen. Von Woche zu Woche steigt der Bedarf spürbar an und durch die AutoPots lässt sich das ziemlich genau beobachten. An meinem Setup werde ich vorerst nichts verändern. Es gibt zwar noch 1-2 Kleinigkeiten, die ich gerne optimieren würde. Zum Beispiel hätte ich künftig gerne ein eigenes Ventil pro AutoPot, um noch etwas flexibler arbeiten zu können. Aktuell läuft jedoch alles zuverlässig, weshalb ich keinen Grund sehe, während eines laufenden Grows weitere Änderungen vorzunehmen. Für meinen nächstes Tagebuch möchte ich außerdem damit beginnen, den Verbrauch etwas genauer zu dokumentieren. Gerade für neue Grower können konkrete Angaben zu Wasserverbrauch und Entwicklung interessant sein. Dank der AutoPots lässt sich das relativ präzise nachvollziehen, sodass ich künftig versuchen werde, etwas detailliertere Werte festzuhalten. Man liest schließlich oft allgemeine Angaben. Wie viel die Pflanzen am Ende tatsächlich trinken. 🌿 Achja, heute hab ich mich doch dazu entschieden ein letztes mal "richtig" zu entlauben aber nicht alle, ich experimentiere noch etwas. 🌱 Tag 35 - Stretch-Modus aktiviert Der Stretch ist mittlerweile nicht mehr zu übersehen. Gefühlt legen wir jeden Tag an Höhe zu und die Triebe schieben sich immer weiter dem Licht entgegen. Die Pflanzenstruktur verändert sich sichtbar und die ersten Blütenansätze werden von Tag zu Tag deutlicher. Auch diese Woche lief alles weitgehend problemlos. Über die AutoPots wurden insgesamt etwa 20-25 Liter Wasser verbraucht. Der steigende Wasserbedarf zeigt deutlich, dass die Pflanzen aktuell ordentlich Gas geben und viel Energie ins Wachstum stecken. Außerdem gab es diese Woche einen wichtigen Schritt bei der Nährstoffversorgung: Der Wechsel von Dutch Pro Grow auf Dutch Pro Bloom ist erfolgt. Damit beginnt langsam die nächste Phase und der Fokus verlagert sich zunehmend von reinem Wachstum hin zur Blütenentwicklung. Aktuell sehen die Pflanzen gesund und vital aus. Besonders der Stretch macht sich bemerkbar und sorgt dafür, dass sich das Blätterdach fast täglich verändert. Es bleibt spannend zu beobachten, wie viel Höhe in den nächsten Tagen noch dazukommt, bevor wir uns vollständig auf die Blüten konzentrieren können. Bis jetzt läuft alles nach Plan. Die AutoPots arbeiten zuverlässig, die Pflanzen wirken zufrieden und Woche 6 verspricht spannend zu werden. 🌿 Bis nächste Woche!

Was on a 2 weeks vacation, just got back, found a lot of yellow leaves on the Runtz which is normal at this stage I think, te Sour Diesel is looking light green and the G13 is looking great and smelling marvelous. I will be adding some natural flowering mix

More information and details later, look at previous week for full grow info

Another great growth this week! The flowering is progressing well, it also continues to gain size. It only stays exposed to sunlight and sometimes it gets a dose of water.

will update once they dry

The Auto AK is loving life, handling a slightly over eager first time grower well! The West Coast OG is a little behind, seems a bit more sensitive to pH imbalance and has also suffered from a touch of nute burn 😕 rookie error! Did feed both with some seaweed and 6.0-6.5 pH water. They can't grow quick enough 😂

This was an easy and productive run. The 2 plants grew up in an overcrowded environment, and as a result, they did stretch a lot. Nodes were spaced but this wasn't a real issue since they both produced a decent weight. Fun/Strange fact: the TOPped one produced 77 grams and the FIMmed one produced 84 grams, very close results with two different methods. I took a clone of the FIMmed one, and it's already 50cm tall, almost ready to flower. The buds are compact and solid as a rock, the earthy taste is hard to describe but 100% unique and yummy. I'm totally in love with this strain!

End of week 4 and things are still moving along despite a few hiccups. Ended up over feeding them at the end of last week and this week we have dropped there ppm down to the 450 ppm mark untill they come around. Didn’t really do to much damage except burn my leaves a bit and maybe slowed there growth a bit this week. Got a laser temperature gun for another project and I’m now able to check my canopy temperature too and it’s great. Canopy sits around 24-25 in the center of the screen and between 21-23 on the rest. Got around 65 D.L.I on the canopy's tallest area in the Center of the screen directly under the light when it passes over. The 1000w HPS is on the rail mover so it’s keeping things from burning and getting too intense. I recently added 2 x 1000x(180w actual) LED “Blurple” lights I had kicking around not been used so I through them in the tent to add some different light spectrums that the HPS doesn’t have. Just a little added extra kick for them, why not rite?...lol been struggling to keep humidity up across all my tents really, got the bare minimum everywhere and only one 1gal humidifier to run in the big room. Temperatures were cold the last week outside in the -20c range so my basement was a bit cold despite the one baseboard heater, which makes things even drier! Lol There has been no need to use either of my air conditioners in my tents for a month or so now even with the 2 x 1000w HPS lights in tents running side x side in the same room. Which is good cause they also drastically drop my humidity, the lights and the air conditioners...ugh. Lol well that’s if so far for now, Cheers 💨

Another week or two and it's good

What a week, So I did a run off test end of last week and they was really high, but I would like to address the DNA Mills cork as I am using this in just one pot (A) to try it out I used 3/4 (B) to my normal coco in another pot 50:50 (C) in another at a 1/4 (D) then when just my normal coco mix ( E) and I havent seen much difference other then the retention of water... UNTILL NOW. So evaluating all my reading I have from run off this is how it WAS sitting running water with an EC 0.7 Ms/cm A - 2.4 Ms/cm B - 2.3 Ms/cm C - 2.0 Ms/cm D - 1.9 Ms/cm E - 1.5 Ms/cm So my conclusion is that I dont like the cork maybe I'm using it wrong somehow I dont know but in my experience, it seems to be grabbing hold of all the salts and not letting go, so this week I ran litres and litres of water through them to bring them down I can only get A down to 1.4 Ms/cm and am struggling to get it any further down does anyone have any suggestions. As for the deficiency I was supposed to I produce the PK booster beginning of this week and couldn't with the run off being so high, well that's what I'm hoping anyways 😂. Plant A doesn't seem to be swelling like the rest (front left in pictures) I'm hoping this is down to genetics if anyone else has any thought I'd love to hear them. Thanks for dropping in and reading, Happy Growing! 👊👍

This week I have topped for a 2nd time with auto's it is a very tight window to train correctly. Now have 4 main nodes..mostly LST and light defoliation going forward

8/24/25 getting towards the end I think Just checked the trichomes. The tops are forming purple Trichomes
