23.-30.07. Die Woche verging wie im Fluge. Strawberry Haze Auto duftet mittlerweile sehr fruchtig mit Zitrusnoten. Die Blüten schwellen nach einem krassen Stretch an. Das intensive LST und das Entfernen störender Blätter hat dazu geführt, dass die Blüten sehr gleichmäßig Sonnenlicht bekommen und später in der Blüte die Luft gut zirkulieren kann. Zwei Tage der Woche standen die Pflanzen unter der Markise, es hat über Stunden heftig geregnet. Das Gießen läuft wie gewohnt nach Gefühl. An heißen Sonnentagen bis zu 1,5 Liter.

Day 32: It's the 5th week already! The soil plant is starting to flower as well. The roots of the hydro plant are healthy again, although the plant is of course still very small. I removed a few leaves that overshadowed some of the lower flowers/nodes. Day 34: The results of the LST really start to show. A number of flowers begin to grow. The plant takes more and more horizontal space. I redid the LST today to move the buds even further away from each other Day 37: A lot of growth / stretching went on this week. For the soil plant I redid the LST again today, and the whole pot is almost covered when it was only half of it a couple of days ago. The hydro plant has quite a bushy top now.

We are a couple who decided to plant cannabis for the first time during the covid-19 quarantine, and it helped us get through it, during and after grow =] Before deciding to plant, we studied a lot and saw many diaries here, so we didn't have many surprises during the cycle, also because we were able to see, compare and know what to expect from our plant. It was really cool to see the result of what we had studied happening in practice, we learned a lot from Grow Diaries. Definitely we will do a lot of different things next time, but overall we were satisfied to be able to smoke our own weed. Grow diaries helped and motivated us a lot, both to learn new things and to organize and register our grow. Our intention is to continue growing and sharing our experience here. Weed love you to leave comments and tips in our diary, it helps us to learn and improve more and more. Thanks and see you all next grow! 👽😜👌

Description: FAST PLANT SPRAY Vitalizing plant aid for young plants Ideal to use on: • Seedlings                                       • Young plants • Cuttings • Mother plants With Fast Plants: • nutrients are unlocked more easily, increasing receptivity right from the start. • plants produce higher amounts of CO2 and other beneficial matter, which lets them grow faster. • nutrient deficiencies are removed reliably. Fast Plants offers many advantages: • clearly better and quicker root development • no more nutrient deficiencies or stunted growth • shocks are dealt with more easily, shortening the growing phase • foliage is visibly vitalized and highly branched • stress tolerance and heat resistance are increased Application as foliar spray: We suggest spraying the leaves dripping wet after the lights have gone out. Seedlings • spray every two days Cuttings • spray every third day Young plants • spray every fifth day Mother plants • spray three days before and three days after taking cuttings Description: FAST START GEL Fast and reliable rooting gel With Fast Start Gel: • cuttings develop roots faster and better • survival rate of 100% under the right conditions • helps grow vigorous, well-rooted young plants in the shortest time possible Fast Start Gel offers many advantages: • cuttings will be well-rooted in no time • cuttings are clearly stronger and more vigorous than untreated ones • faster transition to the growing phase • healthy cuttings are the foundation of a successful crop 2-3 additional applications with Fast Plants Spray brings even more advantages: • no more limp, hanging leaves from cuttings • the usual signs of nitrogen deficiency are prevented • vital nutrients are provided directly to the foliage, relieving roots in this most critical stage Application: DO NOT shake before use! For taking cuttings: • Take desired amount from bottle. Then squeeze remaining air from bottle and close tightly. Keep refrigerated after opening. • Soak the cuttings where the cut was taken immediately for 2-3 minutes in Fast Start Gel. • Next, stick cutting into the rooting media of choice. • Remaining gel can be used to seal the holes in which the cuttings were placed. Description: LIVING ORGANICS Ideal to improve and activate soil life Living Organics consists of trichoderma and bacterial fungal strains which upgrade your soil life. As a result, plants can process more nutrients and have a higher resistance towards environmental stress. These microorganisms occur everywhere in nature in different concentrations and should not be neglected when growing organically. With Living Organics, soil life is clearly improved from the very first application. When adding Living Organics to your growing media (especially soilless substrates), it is treated with various beneficial microorganisms. Millions of trichoderma and bacterial fungal strains help improve the condition of the growing media with every further application. The result is a symbiotic relationship between the plants and the beneficial fungus, which interacts with the plants’ root system. Living Organics offers many advantages: • it improves soil life and root development by continuously populating mycorrhizal strains; • promotes compact plant growth; • raises nutrient uptake and protects plants from disease; • plants’ resistance toward environmental stress is higher; • ties down excess nitrogen and phosphorus while making organic material available to the plants; • stabilizes ph-levels and helps to achieve higher yields. Application: When preparing your growing media: • 2 g (1 tablespoon) per 10 liters of water The growing media can be upgraded further with products such as Humic Acid Plus and More Roots before planting to achieve better germination or to reduce stress on cuttings. The products accelerate root development and reduce the risk of losing plants. The plants will be able to begin their vegetative growth faster. When treating your growing media before transplanting: • Sprinkle a thin layer of Living Organics on top of your media. For starting seedlings, sprinkle a small amount into the hole where the seed will be placed. • When transplanting to a new container, sprinkle Living Organics into the hole where the roots will be placed. You can also spray the root zone with water and sprinkle Living Organics directly onto the roots. To refresh the existing microorganisms within the growing media: • 1 g (1 tablespoon) per 10 liters of water Refreshing the media every 14-21 days with Living Organics to keep the microbes healthy is advisable. We do not recommend applying Living Organics continuously for cost reasons. Description: GROWZYME The plant aid for more efficient plant growth With Growzyme: GROWZYME is a liquid brown-algae extract from the seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum, which is harvested in the Atlantic Ocean along the north coast using an innovative, high-quality and gentle cold-pressing process. We place great importance on seaweed of the best quality, because it is particularly rich in amino acids, minerals, trace elements, vitamins and other nutrients that are not present in this variety in terrestrial plants. Our seaweed is sourced only from the unpolluted northern part of the Atlantic and is harvested at the most nutrient-rich stage of the plant-growth cycle. Growzyme offers many advantages: • applied directly to the leaves, the plants already look much more vital on the next day, regularly applied more bushy • increases and stabilizes chlorophyll in plants, resulting in dark-green leaves and increased sugar content • promotes the growth of microorganisms in the soil that can bind nitrogen from the air • increases the absorption of nutrients and minerals from the soil into the plant • increases flowering and the size of blooms and fruits Further advantages of Growzyme: • improves seed germination and promotes root development • produces powerful plants with greater resistance to diseases • increases the shelf life of fruit by slowing protein loss Application: Growzyme should be applied with each watering throughout the growing cycle as follows: From seed germination / with fresh cuttings: • 5 ml per 1 liter of water The seedlings should be watered once, together with our products HUMIC ACID PLUS, LIVING ORGANICS and MORE ROOTS; cuttings should also be sprayed using the same dosage. As a spray solution during the entire vegetative phase, up to the fruit set: • 3 ml per 1 liter of water Growzyme is ideally additionally sprayed daily together with 5 ml/1 L HUMIC ACID PLUS, 2 ml/1 L MORE ROOTS and, as needed, with 1 ml ORGANIC MORE PK. Spray the plants dripping wet half an hour before sunrise/beginning of illumination, and again in the evening hours. Plants sprayed with Growzyme for the first time can absorb the valuable vitamins, ingredients and nutrients directly through the leaves and thus already look much more vigorous the next day. All other life stages: • 2-5 ml per 1 liter of water Water the plants regularly with Growzyme as well as with all other products of the respective week according to the feeding charts. As a flavour enhancer after the rinsing process with Clean Fruits: • 5 ml per 1 liter of water continue to use regularly until harvest. Description: ORGANIC CALMAG Calcium-Magnesium booster for highly debilitating plants When the rate of photosynthesis in plants increasingly declines and their leaves begin to turn yellow prematurely, it is time to act quickly. Organic CalMag has been designed to meet the ever-increasing demands of highly consumptive plants in plant breeding. This means that Organic CalMag specifically prevents calcium and magnesium deficiencies especially in the increasingly frequent indoor cultivation of plants under LED lights; with many automatically flowering varieties; when the growing medium coco or airpot is used; or with prolonged acidic pH-values of below 6.0. In addition, if deficiency symptoms are already developing, they can be quickly and effectively counteracted with 1-2 applications. Organic CalMag is also ideal for preventive application in all other cultivation media or cultivation systems for the purpose of generally increasing yield. In this case, however, the reactions of the plants must be taken into consideration after each application and the application reduced or completely discontinued if necessary. In these situations, Organic CalMag should always be used with the appropriate caution and attention. We only use naturally occurring raw materials for our CalMag fertilizer. Organic CalMag contains not only the nutrients calcium and magnesium, as the name suggests, but also a wide range of other raw materials and their beneficial secondary components. Application: Recommendations of official advisory centers have precedence. Shake well before every use! Organic CalMag can be used either regularly with all other necessary plant aids and fertilizers with every second watering procedure or, in the case of imminent or acute deficiency symptoms, in increased short-term dosages. For regular watering in the nutrient solution: • 2 ml per 1 liter of water Water the plants additionally with Organic CalMag with every second watering procedure, if necessary. In the case of emerging deficiency symptoms: • 5 ml per 1 liter of water The plants should only be watered once or twice with Organic CalMag, after which the deficiency symptoms should go away again. Note: An optimally adjusted pH-value of the nutrient solution of 5.8-6.5 guarantees a constant absorption capability for all nutrients necessary for the plants in the flowering phase. For optimal results, we recommend you follow our feeding charts and our nutrient-availability table. Description: MORE ROOTS Plant aid for a faster and better root development Ideal as a regular application for young plants until the beginning of flowering With More Roots: • auxin production in the root hair is increased by 150-300 %, enhancing root development considerably • nutrient uptake and vitality of plants is higher due to the improved root development • plants are less vulnerable to pests like spider mites and aphids thanks to the naturally obtained essential oils • the contained essential oils have an immunizing effect and protect your plants against diseases like powdery mildew, mold, or damping off More Roots offers many advantages: • leads to clearly faster and superior rooting • reduces the risk of stunted growth due to low temperatures Application: More Roots is applied together with your nutrients and supplements regularly during the entire growing phase until bud sites start to show. For watering use: • 2-5 ml per 1 liter of water Feed the plants regularly with every watering. When bud sites appear, we recommend substituting Big Fruits for More Roots for maximum bud production. More Roots can be blended with any other nutrients or supplement and benefits any growing media. Description: HUMIC ACID Soil additive for an active soil life in any growing media. With Humic Acid Plus: • fertilizers are more effective and less nutrients are drained to waste • plants show clearly higher nutritional needs due to increased cell stability and size • contained microbes accelerate the production of biomass, which results in higher yields of enhanced quality and taste. Humic Acid Plus offers many advantages: • improves soil structure and plants’ water-holding capacity • natural catalyst for microelements • higher permeability of the roots’ cell membranes, resulting in better nutrient uptake • encourages plants to produce enzymes • delays the reduction of UV-unstable active ingredients like vitamins and iron Application: Humic Acid Plus can be applied during the entire life cycle and in any growing media. Seedlings and Cuttings: • 5ml per 1 liter of water Soak the growing media well before planting. Remove excess water. Rockwool should be squeezed out. Causes no problems with other rooting agents or nutrients. All other life stages: • 2-5 ml per 1 liter of water As Humic Acid Plus is a natural plant aid, it can be applied with each watering without causing nutrient burns of any kind. As a flavor enhancer: • 5 ml per 1 liter of water Continue to use regularly after rinsing until harvest. Description: ORGANIC MORE PK Phosphorus-Potassium fertilizer for compact flowering Organic More PK is an N-P-K flowering fertilizer meant to support the effectiveness of the main fertilizer to achieve even better results. High amounts of phosphorus and potassium are what the plants need during the last weeks of flowering to form strong and compact buds. Organic More PK provides these key nutrients in abundance and sets a new standard in organic cultivation thanks to its 100 % organic formula. Finally, organic fertilizing is possible without using chemical PK boosters. Other advantages of Organic More PK • high amounts of P and K make for better flowering; you will see the difference – even in the lower branches • 100 % vegan – contains no animal excrements Note: Organic More PK should be used in the last weeks of flowering together with Organic Bloom Liquid as flower booster. It can also be used without the use of our basic fertilizers for a 100 % vegan fertilization, but in the first two weeks of flowering should be stopped completely with the application in this phase, because otherwise the plants can stretch up to much. A too previous repotting makes an early fertilization in the first days unnecessary anyway. Application: Recommendations of official advisory centers have precedence. Shake well before every use! For watering as a nutrient solution: • 2-5 ml per 1 liter of water (in soil, apply with every second watering) Please always observe the following after each fertilization: When leaves turn a dark green color, reduce amount of fertilizer by 30%. If leaves turn a lighter green, increase fertilizer until leaves regain their normal color, and continue with that amount of fertilizer. Description: ORGANIC GROW LIQUID N-P-K fertilizer for a healthy and thriving growing phase With Organic Grow Liquid your plants are provided with everything they need for a strong and vigorous growing phase. Thanks to the pre-soluted formula, 50 % of the nutrients are available instantly while the other 50 % show an effect after 7-10 days, depending on the microbial activity in the growing media. The high quality of ingredients contained in Organic Grow Liquid will help optimize cell structure and general resistance of your plants to pests and disease. Your plants will be ready to flower in no time. Note: An optimum pH-level of the nutrient solution (5.8-6.5) guarantees the availability of all nutrients at any time required. Application: Shake well before every use! (when not in use, shake every 2 weeks) A thin layer can be visible at the bottom and is easily dissolved by shaking. This is no loss of quality, but comes from using the highest concentration possible. For watering as a nutrient solution: • For soil and coco: 2-5 ml per 1 liter of water (in soil, apply with every second watering) • Any other growing media: 3-5 ml per 1 liter of water Please always observe the following after each fertilization: When leaves turn a dark green color, reduce amount of fertilizer by 30%. If leaves turn a lighter green, increase fertilizer until leaves regain their normal color, and continue with that amount of fertilizer. Description: ORGANIC BLOOM LIQUID N-P-K fertilizer for a successful flowering phase With Organic Bloom Liquid, fructification sites grow to become powerful buds thanks to the pre-soluted formula. 50% of the nutrients are available to the plants immediately while the other 50% feed the microflora and become available to the plants after 7-10 days, depending on the growing media and the microorganisms within. The well-selected, high-quality ingredients will give you a true connoisseur taste experience that you have not known before. Note: An optimum pH-level of the nutrient solution (5.8-6.5) guarantees constant availability of all nutrients required in the flowering phase. Application: Shake well before every use! (When not in use, shake every 2 weeks.) A thin layer can be visible at the bottom and is easily dissolved by shaking. This is no loss of quality. It comes from the high concentration of organic nutrients. For watering as a nutrient solution: • For soil and coco: 2-5 ml per 1 liter of water (in soil, apply with every second watering) • Any other growing media: 3-5 ml per 1 liter of water Please always observe the following after each fertilization: When leaves turn a dark green color, reduce amount of fertilizer by 30%. If leaves turn a lighter green, increase fertilizer until leaves regain their normal color, and continue with that amount of fertilizer. Description: FAST BUDS Plant aid for a faster and better bud production Ideal for the transition stage when light cycle is changed With Fast Buds • the transition phase from growing to flowering is clearly shorter • fructification is faster and lusher compared to plants not treated with Fast Buds • plants produce higher yields and offer better taste in fruits • plants reach the actual flowering phase earlier (5-10 days instead of 14-21 days), giving the plants more time to effectively produce buds. Fast Buds offers many advantages: • causes plants to flower better and more quickly • makes plants less vulnerable to heat, especially during summer time • activates the soil life in any growing media • binds unpleasant odors • accelerates composting process when recycling soil Application: Fast Buds can be applied as a foliar spray or as part of your nutrient solution. For a stimulating foliar spray: • 50 ml per 1 liter of water For best results spray plants dripping wet at dusk, daily, until flowers start to show.Stop spraying at the beginning of flowering. Once mixed, spray lasts max. 10 days. For watering during transition phase: • 5 ml per 1 liter of water Feed regularly, starting 10 days before switching lights to flowering. Stop application shortly after flowers start to show. The plants’ own hormones have been stimulated successfully. Description: BIG FRUITS The plant aid for a stronger and more compact bud development Ideally suited for regular application, starting at the base of the fruit and continuing until the end of the flowering phase. Big Fruits contains, many other things, various high-quality amino acids, fruit extracts, kelp (ascophyllum nodosum) and other vitamins that are useful for the plants. With Big Fruits: • fructification can be raised by 25 % thanks to the higher auxin production in the bud tips when applied regularly • higher yields and a clearly better aroma are guaranteed • the plants are less vulnerable to pests due to the naturally obtained essential oils Big Fruits offers many advantages: • supplies plants with small amounts of root stimulant until the end of the flowering phase – since roots continue to grow during flowering, they should not be neglected during this phase • strengthens cell stability, which leads to more compact buds • raises the plants’ heat resistance Application: Big Fruits can be blended with other nutrients and supplements as part of a nutrient solution. Apply with every watering as soon as bud sites appear. For watering as a nutrient solution: • 2-5ml per 1 liter of waterFeed the plants regularly. Stop using Big Fruits about a week before harvest and continue with ph-corrected water only. Big Fruits can be used in any growing media and with any nutrients. Description: CLEAN FRUITS Clearing solution for rinsing out nutrients fast and thoroughly Ideal application for the last week(s) of flowering! With Clean Fruits: • all unwanted nutrients are rinsed from the growing media fast and thoroughly from the first application on • your fruits are able to develop a far better taste thanks to a well-flushed growing media • desalination of the media and the plants guarantees a mild taste with no trace of fertilizer, as is often witnessed with commercially grown fruits. Clean Fruits offers many advantages: • having to use enzymes or chemical desalination products to flush your growing media has finally become a thing of the past • can be used as a replacement for enzymes during the entire life cycle • signs of nutrient burns are treated fast and effectively • the substrate can be reused directly after preparation Application: Clean Fruits can be applied for: Flushing during the last week(s) of flowering: • 5 ml per 1 liter of water Increase the volume of your growing medium threefold and flush the plants with this amount of Clean Fruits solution. When the plants have lost their color to about 50%, a further application is not necessary. Curing toxic nutrient conditions: • 5 ml per 1 liter of water Keep on flushing the plants with Clean Fruits until their natural color comes back.

Que pasa familia, ya estamos de vuelta, y traemos la 3 semana de crecimiento, la verdad que pronto toca ya trasplantar, me sorprende los espacios entre nudos, el led no solo hace si funciĂłn si no que mejora bastante el crecimiento de los ejemplares. Ph regulado, echamos poca cantidad de nutrientes pero en nada cuando trasplantemos cambiaremos la alimentaciĂłn. Temperatura ideal, humedad algo baja pero sin problema alguno, ya va quedando menos para el cambio a floraciĂłn tambiĂŠn.

Buds are coming along nicely, they started off with a not so appealing smell but eventually started to smell very sweet. Increased dosage for increased blooming and ripening. Missed update for day 49 but vids from previous day makes up for it. Side note, I created a homemade Co2 bag with ingredients that is easily available and affordable. I don't think I let is have an effect on my buds but it sure did smell awful. After the 5th day, I got rid of it.

Well, week 11 has started today 8/15. So blessed to have gotten this far! I'll be flipping the lights tomorrow to begin to start flowering. I have both my tents linked up so I don't have to run two separate exhausts! Now that the stress part is over time to sit, enjoy some puffs and continue focusing my energy! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 8/17 Day one of 12/12 in the books! I gotta say, I always chill with my plants before I turn down for the night and it was strange not doing it last night, lol. So I'm gonna get some green lights! I have an awesome app on my phone called Hydroponics Green Screen Light, it's in the app store for free. Developer in Timothy Johns. It works great but not enough for me. But it is great if you need to go in during the dark cycle for whatever reason. Or you can get yourself a lamp and a green grow room bulb! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 8/19 Everything is looking very good. Got some very noticeable growth! That's about it really. Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 8/21...just uploading a few pics to end the week with. Well 12 and the start of 2nd week of flower begins tomorrow! Everything still looking good 😁 Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

Its time to prepare for war. *Blows bagpipe* FISH SH!T THE ORGANIC SOIL CONDITIONER (used twice before and always noticed instantly) Fish Shit is a living product! It provides a complex Microbial profile that includes thousands of different species of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. This profile is closer to a natural ecosystem than anything you will find on the market. Fish Shit helps release essential oils and terpenes which contribute to the building of a myriad of flavonoids. Flavanoids play a key role in the development of the most potent aromas and tasteful flavors of a plant and its fruit. Fish Shit contains beneficial microorganisms that help plants maximize nutrient uptake. It does this by transforming nutrients into more usable forms and keeping these nutrients in the soil longer. During photosynthesis plants naturally produce exudates (chemicals that are secreted through their roots). Through these exudates, plants can attract the types of good bacteria that are beneficial to them at different points in their growing cycle. These good bacteria cover the roots and act as a barrier to the invasion of disease-causing organisms that may harm the plant. What Are Enzymes? Before we dive headfirst into how, exactly, enzymes can benefit cannabis plants, it helps to understand a little about what these microscopic proteins do. Essentially, enzymes facilitate chemical reactions. They do so by binding with a substrate and forming or breaking molecular bonds. In this context, the substrate is the molecule upon which an enzyme acts to boost the efficiency of a reaction. •substrate /sŭb′strāt″/ •noun •The material or substance on which an enzyme acts. A surface on which an organism grows or is attached. An underlying layer; a substratum. Enzymes are proteins with complex 3D shapes that feature regions called active sites. When the substrate binds to these active sites, it forms an enzyme-substrate complex that causes a chemical reaction to take place, temporarily changing the structure of the enzyme and ultimately causing molecules to either come together or break apart. As a result, molecular products are released, and the enzyme returns to its original shape. Specific enzymes are capable of binding with certain substrates, as the substrate fits into the active site more or less via a lock-and-key principle. Although, new research suggests a more accurate theory of "induced fit", in which enzymes and substrates undergo structural changes to facilitate the reaction. If you take the human body as an example, we have an abundance of enzymes in our saliva and digestive system. These molecules bind with substrates in these regions (food particles), working to break down the food we eat into usable parts before converting them to energy. Enzymes in cannabis work in a similar way to the example highlighted above. Typically, enzymes occur in soil naturally, but if your soil mix is lacking organic material, or you're growing hydroponically, then adding enzymes directly to the substrate is crucial. By using them in cannabis growing, enzymes not only help break down essential nutrients into smaller, more readily available pieces, but they also support the digestion of dead root cells, clearing a direct path for nutrients. Overall, enzymes make it easier for your cannabis plants to absorb all the elements they need to reach their full potential. For growers, a plant that reaches its full potential means a bucketload of juicy buds come harvest. This is essential if you want to reuse a pot with old systems left over like mine. Common plant enzymes include: •Cellulase •Xylanase •Beta-glucosidase •Hemicellulase •Amidase Amino acids are a crucial, yet basic unit of protein, and they contain an amino group and a carboxylic group. They play an extensive role in the gene expression process, which includes an adjustment of protein functions that facilitate messenger RNA Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the three main pillars of nutrient solutions and fertilizers, but there are countless other nutrients that your cannabis plants need to produce the best possible harvest. Amino acids are one of them. You may have noticed that amino acids get a lot of attention from bodybuilders and other athletes. That’s because they play a key role in the synthesis of protein, which, as you probably know, is super important for sports recovery and muscle growth. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and the foundation of both plant and animal life. But what do amino acids do for cannabis? WHY IS PROTEIN IMPORTANT FOR CANNABIS? Just like proteins are important for the human body, they are equally important for the growth and development of plants. For example, proteins help plants: •Facilitate the growth of intracellular plant structures •Promote energy generation •Stimulate metabolic processes •Facilitate the absorption and transportation of nutrients So, where do plants get these vital proteins from? Well, unlike humans, plants can’t source proteins or amino acids from other organisms. Instead, they need to create their own amino acids, and then use these to build protein. That's why gardeners, much like athletes, go wild for amino acid supplements. Amino acids help plants by… • Increasing their production of chlorophyll, which ultimately improves their ability to photosynthesize • Serving as an easily absorbable form of nitrogen • Stimulating the synthesis of key vitamins • Improving their resistance to pests and diseases • Boosting the strength of their cells Amino acids also serve as the precursors to auxins, a group of plant hormones produced in the meristems—the apex of the stems where new leaves and stems are born. Auxins play a key role in the plant, activating genes for plant growth and development by triggering a multitude of vital plant functions. In other words, they determine what its size and architecture will look like. Auxins influence the development of branches, flowers, and roots, and even help to regulate the photoperiod response of the plant. Some amino acids, like cysteine, also work together with antioxidants like glutathione to help cannabis plants deal with oxidative stress, which can be caused by high-intensity lighting, some nutrient solutions, and high levels of CO₂. Unlike humans, plants can synthesize all the amino acids they need to survive and develop properly. Unfortunately, however, amino acid synthesis is a really high-energy process, and plants may struggle to produce enough amino acids when exposed to stress. WHAT FACTORS AFFECT A PLANT’S ABILITY TO SYNTHESISE AMINO ACIDS? Any kind of stress can affect a plant’s ability to produce enough amino acids. This includes: • Drought • Temperature extremes • Poor soil health • Pests • Diseases • Poor lighting • Lack of space • Poor root health WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN FOR WEED PLANTS? If you want to push your plants to their extreme in terms of floral growth and resin production, you should look into amino acid fertilizers. By making amino acids readily available to your plants, they’ll be able to use crucial energy to grow and bloom, rather than focusing on synthesizing amino acids themselves. Game of Inches, this is another Plants can absorb amino acids via their roots and leaves. They can also benefit from amino acids during both their vegetative and flowering phases. The fastest way for plants to absorb amino acids is via their leaves. The foliar application of amino acids is believed to improve the transportation of nutrients, increase transpiration, and boost photosynthesis. Hence, I recommend feeding your plants with foliar amino acid fertilizers. When doing so, however, carefully measure the amount of fertilizer you use, as—like with any nutrient—overfeeding can damage your plants. FOLIAR FEED AND SOIL SOAK • 1 crushed queen anne carrot • Add 2 tbsp of NPK Raw powdered water-soluble cane molasses • 20ml h2o2 • 1 crushed radish • 0.25 tsp NPK Enzymes • 0.25 tsp NPK Amino Acids • 50ml coconut water ( nature's own amniotic fluid packed with amino, enzymes ) + The sound of songbirds. Onto the predators 1250 -Green Lacewings Lacewings are extremely voracious predatory insects that feed on several pests. In adulthood, it feeds on pollen and nectar. In the larval stage, it feeds on aphids, thrips, and mealybugs at all stages of growth. It can also attack spider mites in moderate quantities. It is initially an aphid predator, but very effectively controls thrips and mealybugs infestations. It is so voracious that in the absence of prey, it will feed on its congeners. Lacewings are cannibalistic if there is no food available for them. It is therefore important to introduce them into an infestation situation, and not just preventively. •congener /kŏn′jə-nər/ •noun •A member of the same kind, class, or group. •An organism belonging to the same taxonomic genus as another organism. •A thing of the same kind as. or nearly allied to, another; specifically, in botany and zoology, a plant or an animal belonging to the same genus as another or to one nearly allied. Ideal temperature 20°C – 26°C Ideal humidity 60% – 70% Predatory stage life cycle 21 days Introduction rate 4 weeks Storage Refrigerator Use Immediately Are there any specific instructions on how to use this predator? Lacewings are available on small paper cards that you can hang to plant stems. On the cards are dozens of eggs ready to hatch. There are also sterile eggs they can feed on once they have hatched before they are ready to disperse in the foliage. It is important to use them quickly upon receipt to avoid cannibalism. If you don't use them right away, you can store the cards in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours to prevent the eggs from hatching too quickly. Avoid storing them for longer than this or you risk losing eggs. 1250 eggs are divided into 7.5 cards, 2500 eggs on 15 cards, and 5000 on 30 cards. The application rate is one card per square meter of growing surface. Is this predator best used for preventive or curative treatments? Lacewings are used as a curative solution. Anything else I should know? Lacewing eggs hatch approximately 24-72 hours after the cards are exposed to room temperature. When they emerge, the lacewings are just 1.5-2 mm long. They are very small so they are difficult to see. Once hatched, they will stay on the cards for a few hours and then disperse in the foliage. You quickly lose sight of them if you have not witnessed the hatching. They then live in the foliage for about 3 weeks. Often, you will see them towards the end of their larval cycle. After feeding for 3 weeks, they will triple and even quadruple in size. At that point, they are easier to see. But they remain very discreet insects, it is not abnormal not to see them. Egg carcasses left behind on the cards do not disappear after the hatching has happened. It's normal to see eggs still on the cards. Visually it is very similar before and after hatching. Also, on the boxes, there are sterile ephestia eggs which are used to feed the lacewings once hatched. Not all lacewing eggs are viable either. Only a certain percentage of lacewing eggs will hatch. Once hatched, the eggs are white. You can observe this using a magnifying glass. With, 5000 Stratiolaelaps Scimitus It is used to prevent or control thrips pupae, fungus gnats larvae, and root mealybugs in the soil. It can also be used for red mites in bird farms or hen houses. The adult is about 1 mm long and is medium brown with a beige triangle on its back. Another fun fact about them is they can survive without prey. They can eat algae and plant debris. This is why they can reproduce and stay in plants for long periods. Ideal temperature 15°C – 23°C Predatory stage life cycle 18 days Introduction rate 2 weeks Storage Room temperature Use Within one week Are there any specific instructions on how to use this predator? Sprinkle directly on the growing media. They can live in all types of substrates like potting soil, coconut fiber, rock wool, cedar mulch, etc. Stratiolaelaps establish easily so they are permanently fighting pests. One introduction is generally enough unless you have an infestation. In this case, introduce them at least twice at a 2-week interval for best results. If you grow your plants in a 100% mineral substrate, it will have to be released more often since there is less organic matter than in traditional soil. Do I need to take any specific precautions? Stratiolaelaps breed in the top layer of the soil. So it is important not to disturb them in the first days following their introduction. They don't like temperatures below 8 ° C. So be sure not to introduce them in a water-saturated or cold environment. Release them 24-48 hours after your last watering. They are very sensitive to chemical acaricides and diatomaceous earth. These methods are incompatible with their use.

5000 ml jeden 3 Tag in der Neunten Woche pH-Wert: 6,2 EC-Wert: 1.4 mS/cm Temperatur: 30ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 50% Schädlingsbekämpfung: im Moment haben wir keine Anzeichen das es was zu bekämpfen gibt, sobald die ersten Anzeichen da sind werden wir handeln :) Düngemittel: Brenneseljauche self made hat einen EC wert von ca 1.4 Besonderheiten: Sie wurde nun in den Outdoor Bereich -Tag 60 Heute wieder Wasser mit etwas Jauche. Von den Farben her ist sie klasse aber ist leider irgendwie nicht das was wir uns Erhofft haben, Sieht eher aus wie so ne Roggen Pflanze 😓 wird auch warscheinlich nur so ein 10 Gramm sein. aber wir wolten es ausprobieren.

Day 43. Light is on max output, heat enormous and they RUN !!!! thought intensity will stop them a bit , but i think i do only worse ... We have +30 heatwave in UK, i live in attic , so for 4 more days everything will be out of control. Watered today. 6.3 phed water. I love simple and affordable Mars Hydro products, if you can cope with heat TSL2000 can do magic in your tent ! Will update after heat wave us over. Should be in 4 days back to +20 ;))) Day 45. They GROW !!!! Distance is insanly small, but i have 30 cm of space left, wont move light for a week, then i will try to have 20 cm at least again. Planing last top up, need two more waterings before it, so it should be on last day of this or first of next week. Thinking to take down all LST at that time, need pots to breath better, too thin fabric, they dont keep form. Day 47. Drink every two days !!! 4 liters goes to nothing !!! Huge, still streching, tops almost rubbing TS2000, heat 30 inside, humidity 65-68 ..... will need heavy clearing again !!! Devil is looking droopy because was just watered. Happy Growing !!!!
