🇩🇪 Woche 4 Vegetation 🌱 | Cherry Limeade 🍒🍋 Diese Woche hat mich die Cherry Limeade endlich etwas aufatmen lassen. 🙌 Sie ist innerhalb einer Woche von 8 cm auf 21 cm gewachsen – ein deutliches Zeichen dafür, dass das Wurzelsystem langsam beginnt, sich im Living Soil zu etablieren. 💚 Trotzdem bin ich überzeugt, dass der schwierige Start auf die direkte Keimung im sehr nährstoffreichen Living Soil zurückzuführen ist. Rückblickend war das für einen empfindlichen Sämling vermutlich einfach etwas zu viel. Ich vermute, dass die Wurzeln zunächst mit dem aktiven Boden zu kämpfen hatten und deshalb das oberirdische Wachstum lange hinterherhinkte. Für den nächsten Durchgang werde ich deshalb definitiv wieder Bottomless Pots mit BioBizz Light Mix verwenden, damit die Pflanzen zunächst in einem milderen Substrat anwachsen können und erst später in das Living Soil einwurzeln. 🌱 Leider war ich diese Woche auch drei Tage beruflich unterwegs. Während dieser Zeit hat sich meine Blumat-Bewässerung bei etwa 50 mbar eingependelt. Zusammen mit der zuvor sehr hohen Bodenfeuchtigkeit war der Wurzelbereich vermutlich dauerhaft etwas zu nass. Das könnte erklären, warum der jüngste Wuchs zwischenzeitlich leichte Aufhellungen und Verformungen gezeigt hat. Mittlerweile habe ich das Klima angepasst und den VPD auf etwa 1 kPa angehoben. Jetzt heißt es beobachten, wie sich der neue Wuchs entwickelt. 🌿 Ein weiteres Thema sind die Trauermücken. Die Population hat in den letzten Tagen etwas zugenommen, weshalb ich heute zum ersten Mal BTI über das Gießwasser anwenden werde. Ich hoffe, damit die Larven im Boden in den Griff zu bekommen, ohne das Bodenleben negativ zu beeinflussen. Mein Cover Crop entwickelt sich ebenfalls fast zu gut. 😅 Es nimmt inzwischen viel Platz ein und beeinflusst auch den Wasserverbrauch des Beets. Deshalb werde ich es in den kommenden Tagen Schritt für Schritt kräftig zurückschneiden und bis zur Blüte größtenteils entfernen. So sollte die Cherry Limeade wieder deutlich mehr Licht und Platz bekommen und das Blumat-System hoffentlich etwas konstanter arbeiten. 🌾✂️ Jetzt stehe ich noch vor der nächsten Entscheidung: Topping oder nur LST? 🤔 Eigentlich wollte ich morgen mit dem Topping beginnen, bin mir nach dem etwas holprigen Start aber noch nicht ganz sicher, ob ich der Pflanze lieber noch etwas Zeit geben sollte und zunächst nur LST anwende. Was würdet ihr an meiner Stelle machen? Trotz der kleinen Rückschläge bin ich mit der Entwicklung inzwischen wieder deutlich optimistischer. Das Wachstum hat spürbar angezogen und ich bin gespannt, ob Cherry Limeade in den kommenden Wochen ihr volles Potenzial zeigt. 🍒🍋💚 📊 Aktuelle Parameter: * 💡 Licht: 400 PPFD (18/6, Stufe 3, 40 cm Abstand) * 🌡️ Temperatur: 30 °C * 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 75 % * 📈 VPD: 1,1 kPa * 🌿 CO₂: Ø 1000 ppm * 💧 Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 50–150 mbar ⸻ 🇬🇧 Week 4 Vegetative 🌱 | Cherry Limeade 🍒🍋 This week Cherry Limeade finally gave me a reason to smile. 🙌 She grew from 8 cm to 21 cm in just one week, which is a clear sign that the root system is finally starting to establish itself in the Living Soil. 💚 However, I’m still convinced that the slow start was caused by direct germination in a very nutrient-rich Living Soil. Looking back, it was probably a bit too much for such a young seedling. I believe the roots needed a long time to adapt to the highly active soil before the plant could really focus on above-ground growth. For my next run I’ll definitely use Almicanna Bottomless Pots filled with BioBizz Light Mix, allowing the seedlings to establish themselves in a gentler medium before growing down into the Living Soil bed. 🌱 Unfortunately, I was away on a business trip for three days this week. During that time, my Blumat irrigation system settled at around 50 mbar, leaving the root zone wetter than intended. This may explain the slight chlorosis and deformation that appeared on the newest growth. I’ve now adjusted the environment and increased the VPD to around 1 kPa. From here on, I’ll mainly watch how the new growth develops. 🌿 Another challenge has been fungus gnats. Their numbers have increased slightly, so today I’ll be applying BTI for the first time through the irrigation system. Hopefully this will control the larvae without disrupting the biology of the Living Soil. My cover crop has also become a little too successful. 😅 It now occupies a lot of space and noticeably affects the bed’s water consumption. Over the next few days I’ll gradually cut it back heavily and remove most of it before flowering, giving Cherry Limeade more space, light and helping the Blumat system become more stable. 🌾✂️ Now I’m facing my next decision: Topping or just LST? 🤔 I originally planned to top her tomorrow, but after the slow start I’m wondering if it would be better to give her a little more time and only use low stress training for now. What would you do? Despite the small setbacks, I’m feeling much more optimistic again. Growth has clearly accelerated, and I’m excited to see whether Cherry Limeade will continue to catch up over the next few weeks. 🍒🍋💚 📊 Current Parameters: * 💡 Light: 400 PPFD (18/6, Level 3, 40 cm distance) * 🌡️ Temperature: 30 °C * 💧 Humidity: 75% * 📈 VPD: 1.1 kPa * 🌿 CO₂: Ø 1000 ppm * 💧 Soil moisture: 50–150 mbar

Ich bin recht zufrieden mit der Entwicklung, größenmäßig sind nur ein paar cm dazu gekommen aber die Blüten machen sich, ganz OK. ich werde aber langsam ungeduldig und fiebere der Ernte entgegen. Das Wetter bleibt wechselhaft bis schlecht! So langsam bessert sich das Wetter. Leider habe ich einen massiven Befall von Trauermücken, Nematoden sind auf dem Weg. Der Sommer ist nach Deutschland zurück gekehrt und das freut nicht nur mich sondern auch die Ladys😎

Hello everyone 😎 Week 4 of flower for the Banana Purple Punch auto from Fast Buds 💥 She grew fast with a beautiful green color,for the nutrient 4ml/L terra bloom & 1ml/L power buds from Plagron Mars Hydro SP-6500 70% Have a nice day 😋

Watering every 12h

Die 2 Nachzügler haben auch endlich ihren Endtopf bekommen 😊

8.30 LST preformed - stabilized main stalk and bent plant to 90* Watered 300ml PHed to 6.4 w/ 4-5 drops of CalMag Broke Lower branch during LST, taped in hopes it repairs its self Noticed strange growth of new leaves, amused to be oddity from genetics or from topping 4.5" tall after LST with 3 mains 8.31 LST 9.01 LST Watered ~14 oz. w/ .2 g Recharge and 4-5 drops of CalMag 9.02 LST 9.03 LST

She is a tiny one for sure! Still no signs of flowering and pretty slow growth rate which I’m good with since I need to keep her tiny

45 grams total dry ;-) She is clipped and is now lying to dry, there was 211 grams of wet plant material so I expect to have about 50 grams dry - i will update this part later! I have cheated a little, and tasted a bit of the scissors hash and I can seriously relate to the taste of watermelon. Looking forward to tasting her dried flowers so far it promises well ;-)

The plants are waiting for warmer weather to finally realise their potential outside. Unfortunately, it will remain very cold this week with sub-zero temperatures at night. There are no recognisable diseases, I just think they are a bit stalky. They don't need much water because evaporation is low.

She's maturing and getting more ripe and ripe by the day! Top nugs are still growing/foxtailing so their progress is never ending it seems! Gonna check trichomes within the next week. She's getting a super nice fade although not my intention, still very pretty. Very nice frosty, green with purple edges/tips. The sunlight shots of this are gonna be mind boggling! Took the pics on my actual camera phone so the quality was better! The Terps are amazing, and done developing I believe; it's a deep red Fruit Punch + Superboof + sum Pure Michigan hashiness. To die for. Absolutely smells up the entire grow area and most of the house when the doors open! Absolutely gonna be growing Homegrown again; excited for Apple Junky and Garlic Applez grows! Coming soon along with sum In House genetics & Dirty Bird grows aswell!

i messed up the dates in this diary i think, this should be day 71 and flowering day 3 for the photos : yt link for trichomes, I will add more, i hope it will be ready end of weekend - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VId9DWEHmVA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym4A9hqoh94 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKWNnEGSzOM

What’s up everybody. So I started to flower already as you see I identified the sure males and tossed them out. What is left is 2 that still have not confirmed whether they’re female/male. I will see you all next week. Where they lol be in there forever home which will be 1Gal. The nutrients are all in Grams I hope this doesn’t confuse anyone.

I'm super thrilled for this one. I've been wanting to get my hands on it for about a year now. It's a great night time, migraine removing, sleep inducing strain for me. I hope the phenotype I have works just as well. I topped and defoliated every plant. I'm trying to form them into canna-bushes. Hopefully I'm doing the correct training procedures to make them all grow that way both indoors and out.

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Sweet Seeds, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Come sempre partiamo nei bicchieri per poi travasare.. Questa volta verrà svolto tutto sotto la Lumatek Zeus 465 ProC, mi aspetto molto da questo ciclo!! Settimana WOW!!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

Not really big buds but going really good,they have time to grow more flowers but don't hope too much,still love them,D53(Update)I purchase an CFL maxibright 200W and I'm gonna still with that until harvest

Another week down, we're heading into week 8 of flower and it looks to be beginning it's fade with the top leaves going yellow. I don't think this is a deficiency this late in the game, The buds have matured alot this week with a lot of pistols turning from white to brown. Trichome production looks to be solid. Next week we will start checking the trichomes to see how far away from harvest we are

Wow... thats all I can say.. these plants are gonna be massive yielders. And unbelievable smoke.. this girl TURNED PURPLE THIS WEEK!!!!! Totally unexpected! 100% green last week. 100% purple this week! I hope the other 4 follow suit! Still pouring the nutrients to them! Without nitro! Not needed! Completely healthy, beautiful plants!!! My favorite grow to date!
