Week 7 (9.15.25--9.22.25) took photos on 9.17.25

Meanwhile, our flowering cycle continues. In just one week, the plants have changed noticeably and are developing exactly as expected.

It’s still been a trial & error process, while “training” I’m constantly afraid of hurting the plant haha. But so far I’m satisfied, if I could get 10 decent grams out of her I’d be happy. Weather has been picking up nicely but still some cold evenings 7-10 d.celcius. Started feeding her some Black Strap Molasses. I forgot to add that I’m really not sure whether she is in flowering or not. & would cutting of like 3 fan leaves be a problem?

1/11/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I have a root almost in the water.. Yay!! Top feeding is almost done. she is looking a little sad as I work the transition Top feeding but once the roots are fully in the water she will start to take off. Ensured my PPFD is set between 250-300 it is set to: 258 1/12/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I have a root in the water.... NO TOP FEED TODAY SIR!!! now that a root is touching the water and she looks stable, I am not going to topfeed, I will see how she looks tomorrow and as long as everything looks good I am going to go ahead and do a change and week 1 fill on Nutes.. I know it is a couple of days in but the same Nutes go through Week 2 and get changed at Week 3 So I should be good to go.. I will just ensure I fill to root touching the water when I change tomorrow. 1/13/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- Water Change Day!! I added 36 Gallons of Water to the system: Silica= .5mil/gal= 18mil CalMag= .75mil/gal = 27mil FloraMicro=3.0mil/gal = 108mil FloraGro=2.0mil/gal = 72mil FloraBloom= 2.0mil/gal = 72mil PH DOWN= 30mil Very important thing with this system is to now wait the 24 hours for the system to adjust.. Do not make any further adjustments to your PH up or Down for 24 hours to allow time for the system to balance. 1/14/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I just adjusted the PH to ensure that it was right at 6.0 1/15/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today I Cleaned up the lower damaged leaves from the transition from top feeding to roots in the water. She looks good today. 1/16/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I just took a picture of the beautiful lady for Log. Other than that just normal day to day operations, check the pH, check the Humidifiers and fill as necessary, check level of water in the Res. Everything looks great. onto Tomorrow!! 1/17/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Today I filled the humidifers, checked the PH and just let her grow.. Grow baby Grow.....

🌸 Week 21 Update (Flower – Week 4) Another steady week in the garden 🌿✨. Red Hot Violet continues to thrive 🔥💜 stacking up nicely with frosty buds ❄️🌸 and that signature rich aroma filling the space 🍇🌿. She’s clearly loving her environment 🌞💨 and showing no signs of slowing down 📈. Amaretto Sour 🍋 is still hanging in there 💪 though a bit overshadowed under the canopy 🌳😅. Haven’t separated them yet still planning the water separation method 💧

11/10/18. Shes finishing really strong. Not sure if the Cha Ching doesn’t I’d much much but the Beastie Bloomz definitely helped. I think my feeding schedule was off by a week or two because I’m unfamiliar with autos. Next run I will begin the soluables at least a week earlier to allow for two feedings of each along with a flush. Right now im not sure if i will have enough time before finish. It’s my only concern. 11/12/18. Watered fully to runoff. Plain water at 6.5 11/13/18. She is finishing very nicely. Decent frost, tri’s are still milky with only a few beginning to turn amber. I ditched the cha Ching. IT didn’t do much and I think it burned the leaves....and that was a 1/8 teaspoon / gallon so users be cautious. I do feel the Beastie Bloomz did help.

Hey Growers, End of week 10 from seed Earlier in the week I began noticing an orange color on some leaf tips, I probably overfed them nutrients so I fed them just water with a ph of 6.0 on the following feeding schedule and the leaves are looking better now. Last week a weird smell was coming out from the colas, its slowly changing. Its now starting to smell like 🍃 🍋 ⛽️ Noticed a small Increase in orange pistils I want to increase light intensity but I am worried the red stems on the top of the plant will get worst and then affect the whole plant. Only the top part of the plant has some red stems, the rest are all green. QUESTIONS How close am I from Harvesting? When should I begin flushing?

12/11 - Watered with just the FloraBloom. 1 tsp/gal. 12/12 - Just Peeked in. 12/13 - Looking nice and frosty! 12/14 - Nothing 12/15 - Gave them just pHed water. 12/16 - Out of Town 12/17 -Out of Town

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

Buds growing well. I placed the fan at the back of the canopy to ensure hot air from the lamps are well extracted.

Blütewoche 2 und die Sticky Broccoli hat beschlossen, dass Bescheidenheit völlig überbewertet ist: Von 19 auf 45 Zentimeter in nur einer Woche ist ein neues Stretch-Level. Einige Triebe mussten noch weichen, aber mit rund 95 % ihrer finalen Anzahl wirkt die Architektur jetzt ziemlich durchgeplant. Das Wachstum ist weiterhin gesund und vital, die Blüte nimmt sichtbar Fahrt auf und die kleinen „Puschl“ werden von Tag zu Tag sichtbar größer. Mit einem EC-Wert von 1,8 läuft die Nährstoffversorgung stabil und sie nimmt sauber die Nutrients auf wobei sie keine Zicken zeigt. Auffällig sind die neuen, deutlich schmaleren Blätter, ein Hauch Sativa-Attitüde im Vergleich zum kräftigeren Startlaub. Insgesamt präsentiert sie sich strukturell gut organisiert, auch wenn sie flächenmäßig langsam Ansprüche anmeldet. Durst hat sie wie nach einem Halbmarathon; das Substrat trocknet schneller, als man „Drain“ sagen kann. Ihre Seitentriebe breiten sich ambitioniert aus und sie muss offenbar noch lernen, dass sie nicht allein in der Duschekabine steht. Der Stretch dürfte bald seinen Höhepunkt erreichen, danach sollte mehr Energie in die Verdichtung der Budsites gehen. Viel Tempo, viel Potenzial und eine Diva mit Wachstumshormonen, die genau weiß, dass jetzt ihre große Bühne beginnt. Wie findet ihr den krassen Strech in einer Woche?

Start der 9. Blütewoche. Optisch top, olfaktorisch topitop, haptisch ein Träumchen. Erinnert mich an Bildern von überfüllten Badeanstalten in Asien🤣 toller Vergleich.. Bin zufrieden. Mal schauen wie lange ich denen noch gebe. So langsam kommt auch Farbe ins Spiel. Mutti purple haze wollte lieber grün bleiben. Vielleicht schaffen es ja ihre Klone ihrem strain auch gerecht zu werden.. 14.02. Ende der 9. Blütewoche. Es geht dem Ende entgegen. Werd mir die Trichome heute Abend mal näher ansehen.

They are ready to harvest the Afghani have 15% amber trichomes Black muffin have 20-30% And the papaya zoap ~15-20%

Transplanted into larger containers with fresh soil. The soil is a blend of Peat Moss one Perlite. I then mixed some older soil with the new Peat/Perlite blend. After the transplant I watered with Recharge to help get some healthy microbes starting to develop in the soil. Since she was stretched out a little I tried burying her a little deep during the transplant. I'm hoping to see some nice improvements over the next few weeks. Stay tuned...

Die Auto Candy Bubatz hat einen harten Ritt hinter sich und noch vor sich. Ich habe sie an den heißesten Platz mit der geringsten Luftfeuchtigkeit gesetzt, der mir bei gutem Wetter zur Verfügung steht. Tagsüber in der Sonne und nachts vor einer aufgeheizten Wand. Sie bekam nur noch Wasser und wurde zweimalig gespült. Ich hoffe so weitere Schimmelausbrüche unterbinden zu können und eine gute Reife zu erreichen.🙏 Optisch hat sie sich zu letzter Woche wenig verändert, die Buds sind fester geworden, die Stempelhaare dunkler und es sind ein paar gelbe Blattspitzen dazu gekommen. Es sind nur noch ein paar frische Stempelhaare vorhanden, am obersten Bud. Bie Buds glitzern in der Sonne wie der frische Morgentau (muss meiner Freude Ausdruck verleihen), zeigen aber noch keine Verfärbungen hin zum bernsteinfarbenen, beginnen milchig zu werden. Sie hat nun eine heiße Woche vor sich, in der sie weiter ausreifen kann. Der zwischenzeitliche Schimmelbefall hat mich insgesamt 2-5% der Ernte gekostet. Dieser Grow lehrt mich auch unvorhergesehene Ereignisse einzukalkulieren und geeignete Mittel zur Verfügung zu haben. Ratlosigkeit ist keine Lösung. In diesem Grow ging es für mich darum, die Pflanze nicht aufzugeben und aus den verfügbaren Mitteln Outdoor das beste zu machen. Vielen Dank für euren Besuch mit besten Wünschen für eine sonnige und heiße Grow-Woche, eine Hitzewelle steht an.☀️🍀 --- The Auto Candy Bubatz has had a tough ride behind it and still has a tough ride ahead of it. I have placed it in the hottest spot with the lowest humidity that I have available in good weather. During the day in the sun and at night in front of a heated wall. It only received water and was rinsed twice. I hope this will prevent further mold outbreaks and allow it to mature well.🙏 Visually, it has changed little since last week; the buds have become firmer, the pistil hairs darker, and a few yellow leaf tips have appeared. There are only a few fresh pistil hairs left on the top bud. The buds glisten in the sun like fresh morning dew (I have to express my joy), but are not yet showing any discoloration towards amber and are beginning to turn milky. It now has a hot week ahead of it, during which it can continue to mature. The mold infestation in the meantime cost me a total of 2-5% of the harvest. This grow also teaches me to take unforeseen events into account and to have suitable means at my disposal. Perplexity is not a solution. In this grow, it was important for me not to give up on the plant and to make the best of the available outdoor resources. Thank you for visiting, and best wishes for a sunny and hot growing week—a heatwave is on the way.☀️🍀

Another straightforward week. Increased pk 13/14 and they’re starting to fatten up nicely and smell good to. Bit annoying the left plant has a few branches that have stretched out as I’d of liked to have got the light down a bit closer to the ones below.

These girls are now entering full bloom and are just beasting! The size of the buds now will tell how big and dense they will be at the end. From here on in they will power thorough to finish.

Picture taken 20 Feb 2022. Some great progress. Overall am happy. The buds are forming nicely, starting to reduce nutrients, wanting to start to flush. Will have to check a closer look with micro lens. Trichomes looking milky 🥛

What up fam, weekly update on these ladies. So far they've dealt with the heat like champs. Thankfully I got my AC fixed and it's back up and running. So thank God as we're having a heat wave still with day temps in the high 90's. They're getting fed 16oz of fed daily. It's looking like maybe another week or two before they'll get harvested. All in all Happy Growing.
