Aktueller Zustand der Pflanze (siehe Bild): Diese zweite Pflanze im Grow zeigt sich als das Sorgenkind des Durchgangs und hat die Herausforderungen, mit denen wir zu kämpfen hatten, deutlicher widergespiegelt. * Wuchsform und Streckung: Im Gegensatz zur Nachbarpflanze zeigt diese Pflanze eine ausgeprägte vertikale Streckung, insbesondere im Bereich der Hauptcola. Dies deutet auf ein "Spargeln" hin, das möglicherweise durch unzureichende Lichtintensität in den frühen Phasen, genetische Veranlagung oder suboptimales Training verursacht wurde. Die Energie scheint sich stark auf die Hauptachse konzentriert zu haben, während die Seitentriebe weniger stark entwickelt sind. * Blütenentwicklung: Die Blüten sind zwar vorhanden und zeigen eine beginnende Harzproduktion, wirken aber insgesamt weniger dicht und kompakt als die der ersten Pflanze. Die Blütenmasse pro Cluster ist geringer, und die Struktur ist etwas luftiger. * Blattgesundheit und Stresssymptome: Hier zeigen sich die Auswirkungen der Probleme am deutlichsten. Viele Blätter weisen Verfärbungen auf, die über die natürliche Reifung hinausgehen, darunter helle Vergilbungen und potenzielle Anzeichen von Nährstoffmängeln oder -blockaden. Auch Verdrehungen und Krümmungen an einigen Blättern sind sichtbar, was auf Stress durch die pH-Volatilität und die Algenkonkurrenz hindeutet. Herausforderungen und Erkenntnisse aus diesem Grow: Diese Pflanze hat die Auswirkungen der pH-Volatilität und des Algenbefalls auf der Steinwolle stärker zu spüren bekommen. Die instabilen pH-Werte haben die Nährstoffaufnahme erschwert, und die Algen haben zusätzlich Nährstoffe entzogen und das Wurzelmilieu beeinträchtigt. Dies hat zu den sichtbaren Stresssymptomen und der weniger optimalen Blütenentwicklung geführt. Learnings für den nächsten Grow: Die Erfahrungen mit dieser Pflanze unterstreichen die Notwendigkeit, die pH-Stabilität und die Algenprävention von Anfang an in den Griff zu bekommen. Die geplanten Maßnahmen für den nächsten Durchgang – kleinere Steinwollwürfel und eine umfassende Abdeckung mit Tonkugeln – sind entscheidend, um solche Probleme zu vermeiden und das volle Potenzial jeder Pflanze zu entfalten. Ausblick: Obwohl diese Pflanze mehr Schwierigkeiten hatte, ist es wichtig, aus den Beobachtungen zu lernen. Sie liefert wertvolle Einblicke, wie wichtig ein stabiles und sauberes Anbauumfeld ist. Die Erkenntnisse aus diesem Grow werden dazu beitragen, zukünftige Durchgänge noch erfolgreicher zu gestalten.

Everything is going good. Some are showing some sort of deficiency . Lowered lights a little bit. Going to start watering every other day. One of the critical thunder autos is like 8 inches tall lol definitely breeding her.

Well she's racing to the finish! Plain water feeding for her now. She smells STRONG!!!!

Week 15 days 99-105 . I'm am flushing all plants with 1 gallon of filtered water each. I've reduced the light cycle from 18 to 14 hours to reduce heat stress. It may reduce yield as well based on comments I've read in other growers diaries. An oz per plant would be nice. Of course more would be better but an oz makes a pound of cannabutter. Reducing the light hours is reducing the purpleness in the stems of og kush and gorilla glue but Purple chill still has purple stems The Natrona sisters spend their nights in the garage where the temps are 10-15 degrees cooler than in the day temps in the tent. Night temps ranged this week between 63-66 with rh 51-76%. The high rhythm comes after a rain. During the day, I'm keeping the tent open while circulating 2 fans. Day Temps can reach 80 so it gets hot in there. flooded each plant with 1 gal of water. From here forward I will be flushing all plants with filtered water at 1 gal for each plant every other day. Monday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo. This is a stress technique used to force plant phenotype colors. I don't think it will work for mine as I over fed. While I have 3 different strains, they look the same with blue green dominance. Thursday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo Saturday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo Sunday photos I'm not seeing any change in leaf or bud colorations from flushing out the fertilizers nor from the ice treatment. General comments" After putting the plants in the garage during the night, morning soil temperatures are within a degree of the night air temperature. This has been about 15 degrees cooler (50s) than the tent temperatures (75+). This week our weather has been unseasonably warm so the night temperatures have been 63-71 with Rh 51-70% Tent temps in the day 75-80 and RH 47-59%. Special thanks to @DreamIT for showing me how to add music to video. Check out my Gigi video above for a short clip.

Week 10 / April 12 First week without adding 4or5 hours of light so they Start the flowering period. Make a defoliation so they prepare to grow the following days

Trichomes are ripening and she is definitely flushed out. Been using only water for two weeks now with some Flawless Finish once a week. Lowered light intensity from 60% to 50% and stopped supplementing UV maybe a week ago. She has gotten a very deep purple color and pistils have receded nicely turning a bright orange. Scent in the house has settled down but the scent on her when rubbed is still very pungent with the same smell as described before! Can’t wait to harvest this one coming next week!! 🤪

Flushing the poundies now!!! Day 5 of flush then she's chopped!!!

Last week of flush

Start of week 6 the end of week 5 she was just having her pistols come out. She is doing great growing fast I might have to buy bigger tent but will see what happens. Daytime temps are74/76 and nighttime temps 68/70 RH is now at 54%. New I have not even flushed or used sledgehammer because she looking so hungry at times. I did major defoliation on her had some many big fan leafs block lower bud sites to be also did a ton of tie down to try to get the last few stretches out the lower area.

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. The Strawberry Banana is doing well, I am just doing some LST every couple of days, and she is just starting to stretch. She is still feeding on silica, cal mag, and maxi grow veg nutes by GHE. She seem to be loving this Medic Grow Spectrum X, which I am now running at 70% and also running the UV/IR bars for 1 hour before lights off. I also did a light defoliation this week to allow some airflow and her to focus more energy on the upper branches. I will continue to with LST and veg nutrients until the vertical growth stops, then I will transition her to flower nutrients, and change her lighting to the red spectrum. Not much to do this week except watch her stretch and some light LST> Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

A good starter week. Both little ladies are doing well. They're both stretching just a bit. I've increased the light intensity so all should be good.

Auto banana kush has sprouted. She lost one of her initial leaves from husk, and membrane sticking. This should not effect her much as she starts. I will find out in a few days. She is growing under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2, in Athena blended line nutrition. Thank you Medic Grow, Athena, and Weed Seeds Express. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g Update 1st seedling dampened off and passed. 2nd seedling just sprouted. I will start update one in a few days.🌱 More updates. 2and seedling is looking so so. Does not look strong. Hopefully thus one does not dampen off as well. These seeds have been very fickle. I really want to see these buds. GROW DAMNIT

These clones turned out to be beautiful and easy to please little ladies. They did possibly go a few days longer than other growers may have allowed, but in my opinion Id rather a little longer than prematurely cut. I cannot wait for them to be ready to enjoy after some drying and curing. Thanks for letting me share and also gather info about growing some fine flower on this site PEACE and good luck to all growers

Harvest day, you’d think I’d be excited and I was until last night. I’ve had to have my oldest Cat put down due to health reason 😿 I almost can’t be bothered to do this update, but here I am 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ it’s only one more entry. I harvested this plant at day 58 of flower, it feels like she matured and finished quite fast, always a good trait. Her buds are rock solid to the touch and almost wet with trichomes, if that makes sense?! I took some pictures just prior to harvesting her. She’s now hanging on a peg hanger in my drying tent, cut into individual branches. She took barely any time all all to trim, she’s got a high bud to leaf ratio and everything I cut off will be dried, frozen and sifted to make Rosin. No waste at all. I aim to dry between 10-14 days, I generally keep the RH around 55% and the temp fluctuates around 18*C. She’s been an easy plant to grow and I’d recommend these genetics, In House have really outdone themselves with this one! I don’t usually do this, but I’m dedicating this grow to my late Cat Poochim. (I’ve added some pictures of him) I got him when he was a little kitten and I was just a teenager, 20 years later and I’ve had to say goodbye to a very old friend 🖤

Welcome to my Fast Buds sponsored shootout and living organic soil v coco side by side. I also plan to use this grow to my full advantage regarding a few age old nagging questions about methods. I have had a keen interest in L.O.S ( supersoil) since reading a few threads a while back on how amazing and productive it can be. After too much research and procrastinating I had to give it a go. I have been a decades coco/nft grower and recently threw my hat in the rdwc ring too. I have avoided soil due to the overwatering worry ( heavy handed chimp brain !) and the best potting soil/feeds. Catching up on the advances in indoor soil gardening and organics led me too subcools supersoil recipes to name a few but being a town dweller with farms everywhere around me still drew blanks on a lot of the ingredients needed and where the hell I could even begin to get them from. Thankfully , commercial savvy has now made buying it in ready to use and with a full range of beneficial bacteria ect available in amendments from a grow shop here in the uk. ecothrive have realised the potential for us to dive into this medium with all the mixing , measuring and resourcing. I bit the bullet and £150 later I now have 4 x37Litre pots that will be used for as long as I want to feed the soil for without EVER needing nutrients again potentially. The coco has also had charge mixed in to encourage the bennies to colonize there too. I will be using the shogun nutes that I know do the business with coco to compare with for yield , growth and taste. I have 3 seeds each of 4 Fast Buds Strains to use as a control for the grow and am journaling each strain in their own diaries. This statement will be used to start each one as the information is identical at this point but following this I will do them individually. I am now starting their second week since opening the seed packets , straight into soaked and shook root riot cubes and into the heated propagator. They had all showed their heads by end of day 3 and a couple needed helmet surgery to open up without being hindered . I have has them in the prop for a few days but they needed to get settled as they were popping roots out all over the cubes. They have now been in their final pots for 2 days complete and starting their 3rd today at day 8 since planting in cubes. I am impressed with the speed and success of these girls already (12 of 13 germinated) . Well done fast buds. So here we go folks , any comments , ideas ,questions , advice are always welcome and I hope we can have some fun experimenting with defol v non defol , topping v fimming v bending and any other curiosities along the way. I plan on using a quadline for them all to keep a control for the comparisons too. Be green folks Welcome aboard and a huge thank you to Fast Buds for the opportunity to try autos.

Two of my daughters are ready to harvest, so I'll harvest them first, and my retarded daughter will get another week or two, but unfortunately her buds are not growing very well, something went wrong with her from the beginning. I think I've messed up the nutrients once, and I gave her Green Sensation when she was just starting flowering. This could cause nutrient lockout. The strange fact about her is that she looks ugly, but she smells incredibly intensively. From now on I am only flushing her. In the worst case she will be perfect material for some top quality cannabutter. :)

🗓️ WEEK 3 (veg) 💧 Her water uptake increased noticeably (about 1 LT/day), and the new leaves exhibit a perfect, healthy color. Due to this increased demand, I raised the EC to 1 to ensure she receives adequate nutrients. 🌱 The difference in growth between the start and end of this week is significant. The plant continues to stay quite short and compact, which I don't mind at all, especially considering the space limitations experienced during my last run. Naturally, this time, both the environmental conditions and the genetics are entirely different. Similar to last week, I concluded the week by removing a few of the lower leaves growing too close to the substrate. This week, I set the light power to 100 watts, keeping the same distance.
