One of the two plants is a bit small. Checked Ph and EC.

🌱 Day 8 — Veg Nutrient strength kept light (≈180 ppm) for root development. Water level just below net pots; bubbles lightly mist the bottoms. Reservoir and pH stable throughout the week. No visible roots yet. Will transfer the 4 best plants into the alien aero system when: Roots are long, white, and branching — at least 4–6 inches hanging freely into the SuperPonics reservoir. Root tips are firm and bright (not soft or brown). The plants have at least 3–4 sets of true leaves and are starting to accelerate growth. 🌱 Day 10 — Veg Roots have finally reached the water. Will look to transplant in the next 5 days or so.

🌱 Woche 6 – Tag 36 Der Moment, wo alles zusammenkommt Mit Tag 36 beginnt Woche 6 – und man merkt sofort: 👉 Der Run ist nicht mehr im Aufbau… er läuft jetzt. Die Pflanzen sind sichtbar im Stretch und reagieren extrem direkt auf das Setup. Was hier gerade passiert, ist kein Zufall mehr – sondern Kontrolle. ⸻ 🌿 Canopy & Setup Die letzten Tage habe ich alles darauf ausgelegt, eine gleichmäßige Fläche unter der Lampe zu schaffen: • Alle Pflanzen auf ein Level gebracht (~40 cm Abstand) • Höhenunterschiede mit Kisten ausgeglichen • Aktueller Abstand: 35–45 cm • Lichtleistung: 75% 👉 Ziel: keine einzelne dominante Cola, sondern maximale Fläche Und genau das beginnt jetzt zu greifen. ⸻ 💡 Licht trifft auf Reaktion Ich musste die Lampe die letzten 3 Tage ~15 cm höher ziehen, weil: 👉 Die Blueberry komplett eskaliert 😏 • extrem homogener Wuchs • Seitentriebe fast auf Top-Niveau • aktuell klar die aggressivste Pflanze im Zelt Das zeigt mir: 👉 Das Setup trifft den Sweet Spot ⸻ 🌱 Die Genetiken im Vergleich 🍇 Blueberry (hinten rechts) → aktuell der Maßstab im Run → Stretch + Struktur = 🔥 🍬 Runtz (hinten links) → stabil, aber noch im Aufbau → wird im Stretch noch kommen 🍇 Purple Punch (Mitte) → viele Seitentriebe, noch ruhig → könnte jederzeit explodieren 🍪 GMO Cookies (vorne links) → kompakt & kontrolliert → klassischer „später Performer“ ⚡ Hyperion F1 (vorne rechts) → sauber, stabil, mittig unterwegs 👉 Genau das macht den Run spannend: Jede Sorte spielt ihr eigenes Spiel ⸻ 🌡️ Klima – der eigentliche Gamechanger Hier wird’s interessant: • Temperatur: ~22,5 – 26,5°C • Luftfeuchtigkeit: ~55 – 62% • VPD: 1.1 – 1.4 (Peaks bis ~1.7) 👉 Das ist kein Zufall 👉 Das ist Sweet Spot für Stretch + Nährstoffaufnahme Die Pflanzen arbeiten sichtbar effizient: • kein Stress • kein Stillstand • sauberes Wachstum ⸻ 💧 Gießen & Substrat – Lehrbuch aktuell Ich bleibe beim Ring-Gießen und das zahlt sich aus: • gleichmäßige Feuchtigkeitskurve • keine Staunässe • kein Austrocknen 👉 EC-Verlauf zeigt klar: Nach dem Gießen → Peak → sauberer Abbau ➡️ Die Erde arbeitet aktiv mit, nicht gegen mich ⸻ 🧠 Grow-Strategie (bewusst so gewählt) Diese Runde: ❌ kein Netz ❌ kein aggressives Training Stattdessen: • natürliche Struktur • Höhenkontrolle • Licht optimal nutzen 👉 Weniger Eingriffe, mehr Verständnis für die Pflanze ⸻ 🔥 Fazit – Anfang Woche 6 Das ist der Punkt, wo sich entscheidet, wie groß die Buds später werden. Und aktuell sieht’s so aus: 👉 Setup passt 👉 Klima passt 👉 Pflanzen reagieren perfekt Besonders die Blueberry zeigt gerade, was möglich ist, wenn alles ineinandergreift. ⸻ 🚀 Ausblick • Stretch aktiv managen • Höhe weiter ausgleichen • Licht langsam steigern • erste echte Blütenbildung beobachten 👉 Die nächsten 7–10 Tage sind entscheidend

Beginning of week... So the ladies are beginning to stack pistils at the crowns.. The Mandarin Cookies has been stacking a little quicker.. Thicker.. They both are showing purple tips on the stiples.. Not the pistils or leaves.. The stiples.. ETHOS Cookies has been showing that for ever now.. The Mandarin Cookies has just started showing these purple tipped stiples.. Gorgeous plants.. Even tho Mandarin Cookies is super freakishly tall and stretchy.. And the ETHOS Cookies is basically a runt.. Doesn't want to make ANY stems.. But plenty of leaves lol.. She should be able to hold up some super fat colas pretty easily tho so that's awesome! I stopped using the Armor Si and the FloraGro.. As well as the MYCO Plus (powder) stuff.. Also going down on the FloraMicro.. Just basically using 1 tsp/gallon of the CALiMAGic, FloraMicro, FloraBloom, and Kushie Kush.. 30 drops/gallon of the Floralicous Plus (not sure if that's too much to be honest).. 2 tsp/gallon of the FloraNectar Fruit-N-Fusion and last but not least... 2 mL/gallon of Hydroguard... *phew*.. Damn that's alot.. But that's alot less then what I was giving these girls... They should do alot better.. Mid week... I have defoliated the ETHOS Cookies a bit more.. Mostly trying to make sure there is good airflow and no larfy producing branches in there.. She should produce some really nice colas with how short and stubby she is lol.. As for the Mandarin Cookies, I've just been supercropping the shit outta the really tall branches.. I've never supercropped a plant so much lol.. And I'm not good at it at all.. Most of the branches are split open, bruised.. Just very crappy looking.. It will heal, they always do 😂 I just hate hurting them like this.. Especially in flower.. But it's still pretty early in flower.. And the pistils are still exploding just as much as the non-supercropped branches.. I can't wait!!!... End of week.. Both girls are exploding with trichomes! I love these super frosted strains! The ETHOS Cookies seems to be stackin calyxes faster than the Mandarin Cookies.. I can tell the ETHOS Cookies is gonna stack some fat ass colas! The ETHOS Cookies runoff is doing good.. pH going in is 6.2 - 6.3 and runoff is usually 6.0 - 6.2.. Foliage is nice and green.. She may be nitrogen sensitive deeper into flower.. Maybe not.. We shall see.. As for the Mandarin Cookies.. Wow.. This girl is super tall.. She is also stackin calyxes, pistils and nicely. The runoff is still giving me issues but as far as I can tell, she is accepting it and making the best of what she has. Going in pH is 6.2 - 6.3.. Runoff is coming out 5.6 - 5.7.. It's bothering the shit outta me! Lol.. It doesn't seem to matter what pH I put in, it will ALWAYS runoff at 5.6 - 5.7 pH.. But like I said.. She is accepting it as long as I keep the "in" pH in my preferred range.. I usually keep the "going in" pH at 6.1 - 6.3 the ENTIRE grow.. I always get great results doing this.. Its best for Calcium uptake and Calcium is a huge issue when it comes to growing in coco coir.. Anyways.. Both ladies are doing great.. Both look gorgeous and healthy.. Oh yeah!! I like to rub the trichomes to get a little idea of what the terpenes are gonna be like.. And hoooooly shit.. ETHOS Cookies smells like nothing I've ever smelled before.. I can't even begin to explain it.. Literally.. And the Mandarin Cookies is starting to give off a nice citrusy scent.. I hope this carbon filter is able to scrub the air enough.. Cuz if these are anything like the Early Lemon Berry, then yeah, this carbon filter is gonna be put thru the ultimate test lol.. Anyways.. On to the next week!....

Both bean poles back to seed LOL

Plants are doing well. Watering roughly once weekly continues to be the current schedule. In this week's watering (week 6, Thursday), a nutrient mix was added (19% Nitrogen, 5% Phosphate, 20% K2O). pH was measured (via the runoff/drainage water collected) on all three plants using a pH probe, of which was measured to be slightly acidic for all plants (exact pH numbers above in the photo descriptions). We are aiming for a pH range of 6.0-7.0, so in next week's watering, we will add a buffer solution to alkalize the soil. All three plants lower branches were also pruned.

Semanas finales 🚀

Cannot believe all lady's. Lucky guy.!! Week 2 of 🌺 flower.....

Sieht gut aus

Top of the tent. Has a dimmer switch to help regulate temperature. I have it mounted at the top of the tent 55" from top of soil. If it was any lower it would overheat my tent. I also have a 6" inline fan with a 4" carbon filter running full tilt. I also have two 8" fresh air vents pulled out at bottom of tent. It's also reinforced with a wood frame so I can have a lot of negative pressure without collapsing the tent.

Week is going good aside from me accidently cutting off a stem on pheno 2. If I can properly save the cutting though I might have a chance at another female. Pheno 3 I'm hoping can make some comeback as I really want to flower the plant, its not dead by any means but the way its growing I just cant see it allowing itself to flower the top leaves were barely growing so I topped. Hopefully positive changes within the next week.

Both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants have developed well and carry hefty top buds on each side branch and also the main cola. The lower regions also carry buds, but those are a little more fluffy and not so big and dense as the top buds. In total the two plants harvested 91,3 grams. Every bud is COVERED IN TRICHOMES and the plants glisten in the light, they are FROSTY AS HELL! The plants have a STRONG AROMA now, which is sweet and peachy with hints of sandalwood. They smell ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and the dried weed carries the flavor of this aroma also in the smoke! VERY PEACHY! All in all I can only recommend this strain, its not the biggest yielder, but definitely delivers connoisseur grade weed. Hats off to Mat from House of the Great Gardener in Canada, he has made another GREAT cross and I hope he will release this variety soon! 👍😍😎.

Week 4 day 26F and they are starting to look the way i like , the canopy is full enough and the girls are pumping nice airs to what looks like is gona bi great bud, but I don’t like to speak before things happen hehehe for now the Tropicanas still looking way better than the chocolates ones, but in the end the final product will have the final saying 😁 they are drinking 4,5 L water every day, divided in 3 times, 1st after 2H ligth, 2nd is 2H after and the last after 2H were they reach run out and dry from there until next day. I do the ocasional one day in between to dry out the roots and induce some low stress to help tricomes production, in the end thats going to b the most important factor in my final decision. I lower my lights to level up my ppfd levels, i will bring them up to 1000ppfd along next week or so since they are enjoying the amounts so far 😁💚👌 PPFD - 750 Umol/m2 DLI - 32.2 mol/m2d VPD - 1.30 kPa Little battle between Topicanna Poisen from @sweetseeds vs Chocolate Skunk from @00Seeds (just for fun) TP = Tropicana Poison CS = Chocolate Skunk Light Lumatek Zeus 465W compact pro at 100% All i grow is medecine for myself, nothing to sell, dont even ask !!! Stay safe and do it with love for the love ❤️ 🙏 💚Growers Love to you all 💚

I defoliated all her big leaves never done that before…she took it quite well. I fed her some Fox Farm Tiger Bloom on the first sign of flowering so that should increase her flowering abundance…so far so good!

Ya estoy en etapas finales. 2 semanas más y se viene la cosecha. Ya puse a enraizar los esquejes para la próxima tanda. Las plantas vienen muy bien. La Polaris ha engordado significativamente más que las bateku. Pero de todos modos las dos vienen muy bien. Me quedé sin overdrive, así que le puse 1.3ml/L. De todos modos ya compré y mañana llega, así que ahí reforzare la solución, dado que las plantas están tomando mucha agua. No hice poda de hojas en este cultivo, que es algo que hago siempre. Las raices si han sido un problema en esta semana, dado que se van colando por el caño de descarga y estan cerca de llegar al depósito. Eso es un problema de diseño que ya veré cómo resolver. Pero es un problema menor. Probablemente pronto empiece a trabajar en un nuevo diseño, pero sin apuro. Ahora voy abir vigilando los parámetros, pero tengo todo bastante manejando.

(Day 65) - From this point on the plants will be getting nothing but PH'd water and a weekly dose of Real Growers "Recharge". I know that this practice is controversial and that there have been studies that show no appreciable benefit of doing so however, I am at the very least saving on very expensive nutes and reducing the overall amount of nutes being consumed. I expect that Ghost Toof and Mephisto's Wedding will likely take 85 days to finish fully and a 20 day flush might seem extreme but these plants have been given an excess of nutes for a long time before I adjusted their feeding schedule. I believe this will make for a better product once dried and cured. We shall find out.

2024 run. First seed I've found IN an 8th bought from my local Lume dispensary -- I've never found 1 seed in all the years I've been a customer. So I'm calling it the fat girl, (this seed was 3x larger than any other seed in my collection. I'm guessing it's a Fem seed.. as I said I've never gotten a seed in the years of going to this dispensary.

Gelonade is gently growing, with a nice lemon smell. I have a feeling this plant is going to give me popcorn flowers. (Maybe due to the high heat 🤷‍♂️) I always found the buds quite thin from the beginning of flowering. Despite that, it looks healthy. More in the next episode 😎 Milky Way: Also growing very good, Nice smells, seems quite heat-resistant. The pistils are starting to turn color 😎
