I subjected her to my version of "light" HST this week (i.e. I snap the stem ~20cm from the top so it's broken but attached, then I massage/twist the broken stem between my fingers until it's crushed and soft, but I don't tip them 90° instead I leave them standing tall). I normally tip them 90° bit this is something I started to do recently and it's more convenient with bushy tight plants (imo).

Woche 10 🍒 Kannabia-Ladys Update: Tag 70 / Blütetag 35 ​ Es wird mal ​wieder einmal Zeit für ein Update unserer beiden Kannabia-Ladys: Cheery Dream und Karibbean Mango. Wir befinden uns heute an Tag 70 insgesamt, was Blütetag 35 entspricht. ​Das Höhenmanagement hat uns anfangs etwas Sorgen bereitet, aber wir denken, wir haben die Situation jetzt sehr gut im Griff. Wir haben ich Scrog-Leinen eingezogen, um das Wachstum zu kontrollieren und eine gleichmäßige Lichtverteilung zu gewährleisten. ​Beide Pflanzen entwickeln sich prächtig und zeigen erste Anzeichen für eine vielversprechende Blütenbildung. Ich bin gespannt, wie sich die beiden in den kommenden Wochen weiterentwickeln. ​Schaut gerne wieder vorbei für das nächste Update!

These all look pretty good this strain is pretty wild I look forward to seeing the progression.

Her flowers are packing the weight on this week!! 😍 Leaves look a bit curled up, possibly wind burn. I have moved her position in the tent.

The plants seem to do very well they have been suffering from a little bit of Heat stress and too much light intensity the light was at 15 in to see if I could get out bigger buds but was way too close and the plants became way too stress and uncomfortable with it. They prefer temperature between 29 and 30 degrees Celsius as well as a humidity minimum of 30 to 50

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der zeiten Blütewoche sieht man allmählich die Blüten/Stigmenansätzen. Ich bin mir noch nicht sicher ob auch männliche Polenansätze zu sehen sind. Sollte dass der Fall sein wird mein besonderer Freak leider dass zeitliche segnen müssen. Ansonsten habe ich die Pflanze nun Mal stark ausgedünnt, damit die besser gewachsenen Triebe besser beleuchtet werden. Die Struktur der Pflanze ist sehr knotig und fest. Sie ist bisher echt der krasseste LowGainer, den ich seit ich Growe gesehen hab. Mal schauen ob die Pflanze in der Blüte noch was reißt 😁 🙈 Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind top: ————— 🌞 Temp: 23°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 51% VPD: 1,05 kPa 😎 PPfD: 630 mqm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

This week's highlights: Root Breakthrough, Dimmer Battles & The EC thingy Another week down! Since my last update on September 13th, the girls have made some serious moves. Here is the day-by-day log of what’s been happening inside the tent: The Story So Far: September 14th – Minor Tweaks & One-Handed Light Gymnastics Adjusted the pH back down from 5.8 to 5.5. I also wanted to bump the PPFD up to 350 µmol/m²/s. Since the somewhat finicky built-in dimmer on the Lumatek ATS 300W Pro only allows adjustments in 25% steps—and I’m far too stingy to buy additional control gear so I had to lower the light physically. Doing that with only one hand was… an experience, to say the least! The bright side? As the plants grow upwards, the PPFD will naturally increase on its own. I just need to keep an eye on the canopy distance. Once the roots hit the main reservoir, I’m expecting an explosive growth surge anyway. September 15th – Steady Cruising Noticed the EC drifted up slightly to 1.3 mS/cm. Left it as is. Just brought the pH back down from 5.7 to 5.5. September 16th – Quiet Day Nothing major to report. The pH only rose to 5.6. My threshold for this phase is 5.7 so I don't bother adjusting down to 5.5 until it hits or exceeds that mark. Minimal effort, maximum chill. September 17th – We Have Touchdown! pH crept up to 5.8, so I dialed it back to 5.5. More importantly: roots from BOTH plants have officially broken through into the main reservoir! Game on. September 18th – Smooth Sailing Just letting the plants do their thing. No intervention needed. September 19th (yesterday) – Reservoir Change & A Quick Lesson on Canna Schedules I did a full reservoir change and prepared the mix for Vegetative Phase I strictly according to the Canna Aqua calculator for 30 liters. I input my custom base EC of 0.28 mS/cm and dosed everything down to the exact milliliter using syringes (66 ml Vega A+B, 60 ml Rhizotonic, 75 ml Cannazym). After letting the solution sit for 2.5 hours to settle, I took a reading expecting the target EC of 1.4. Instead, the meter hit a whopping 1.78 mS/cm! The takeaway here: official feeding charts are guidelines, not absolute truth. Especially when working with remineralized RO water, which reacts quite differently than standard tap water. To bring it back down to a safe 1.4 EC, I had to scoop out 6.5 liters of the hot solution and dilute it back up with fresh, remineralized RO water (EC 0.28). Always double-check your readings before feeding your roots! September 20th (today) - pH correction from 6.1 back to 5.5 and video editing for this week's report. Now that the roots are drinking directly from the reservoir and the fresh nutes are locked in at 1.4 EC, let's see how fast they explode next week! A Note on VPD & Climate Controls: You might notice I’m not running a high-end, dynamic VPD-controlled tent with automated humidifiers or smart exhaust triggers to chase the absolute textbook 1.0 kPa around the clock. Why? Because this is a Lazy Grow (maybe not for so long, still thinking about mainlining), not a NASA cleanroom operation. Looking at my environment logs, temperatures stay nicely between 22°C and 26°C with RH hovering in the 50–65% range. This puts the VPD naturally right in the sweet spot for veg (~0.9 to 1.1 kPa) without me having to micro-manage humidifiers or drain my wallet on automated climate gear. Sure, dialing in VPD to the exact decimal point might squeeze out an extra 5% of dry weight in the end, but ambient room conditions are doing 95% of the heavy lifting just fine. Good enough for me!

Hi liebe Community und Welcome Back! 💚 Slush Mint Cake von Dutch Passion! Die dritte Blütewoche ist vorbei und die Pflanze hat im Stretch bisher nochmal 4cm zugelegt, daher wird in der Höhe nun nicht mehr viel passieren. Das heißt auch ihr Stretch ist insgesamt sehr moderat und super handelbar! Die Pflanze hat nun eine Höhe von 115cm erreicht. Sie hat eine wunderschöne und homogene Wuchsform. Die Stimmen bilden sich nun langsam aus und es sind schöne und immer mehr glänzende Trichome erkennbar. Das untere Drittel der Pflanze habe ich nochmal ein bisschen ausgedünnt und die Triebe rausgeschnitten. Die Bedingungen im Growschrank sind für die Blütephase aktuell Top! Die Lichtintensität wurde nun auch auf dass Maximum hochgefahren. ————— 🌞 Temp: 26 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 54% VPD: 1,17 kPa 💡 ppfd: 830 mpm —————

She had a tough life, I messed up her roots at the beginning and then overwatered, was really stunted and not growing for a while. Finally started growing normally, a bit late but looked fine. I had to hand her over to a friend for the last 4 weeks and she looked strange and buds were quite solid hard and dry.

📆 Semana 9 Las plantas avanzan en la fase de maduración avanzada, con los cogollos ya muy desarrollados, compactos y pesados, centrando toda su energía en el endurecimiento y afinado final. Los cálices terminan de hincharse y la resina alcanza niveles muy altos, cubriendo bien todas las flores. Los pistilos aparecen mayoritariamente oxidados, aunque aún se mantienen algunos blancos, indicando que la planta está cerca de su punto óptimo pero todavía en proceso de cierre. Se aprecia un leve foxtailing en algunas puntas, algo sutil propio de esta fase final, sin afectar a la calidad ni a la densidad general. La absorción continúa ralentizándose, mostrando claramente que la planta entra en su última etapa, enfocada en estabilizar su maduración y perfil aromático. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Exotic Seed, 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!! Purtroppo ho perso i file delle scorse settimane e dovrò reiniziare il report da ora scusate per il disagio Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

Hey guys! 😀 Another update! This week my babies were still showing signs of deficiencies and I'm now almost 100% sure the culprit is Magnesium. Next week I'll add some CalMag to the mix both in water and thru some foliar application, hopefully that will help them. Besides of that Pistachio is outgrowing Matcha by a big margin, it's obvious she's still recovering or she's still somehow stunned (maybe she'll stay small till the end of her days 😢). Either I decided to defoliate both of them and on top of that do LST on Matcha... and both responded well to it, that's good! 😍 They looked super sad for a moment 😰 The new branches look nice and the wounds were I did the topping look healthy for both plants, nice! Anyway, see you all soon in my next update and I hope you all enjoy the photos/videos I took! 👋

One of the last days of 2x 16 colas and 2x 4 colas mainlining 4 month growing. Jamaican Dream and Green crack potted together and the experiment was successful. Three Blue kings was stressed in vegetative period by iron excess and overwatering. This is the reason that lower buds did not developed better. Amherst Sour diesel have one of the biggest buds I have ever seen. Jamaican Dream should be developed smaller, like Green Crack, but 100% sativa genetics showed it's greatness. Green Crack was growing like Jamaican Dream in vegetative period, but in flowering period its growing was slowly and now it has become very thick and full of buds. My growing box is very cheap but I tried maximum of my budget. 600w HPS is one of the greatest lamp for indoor growing. At flowering stage I have increased 600w to Super Lumens on my digital ballast for maximum yield. Main mistake is that I have used very cheap and primitive pots and soil was not enough good too. In these days I'll cut diesel and kings tops, because they are almost ready and lower buds need 7-12 more days to be ready for harvest.

Hallo lieber Grower, hier mein erster Grow^^ Nach 3 Tagen Wasserbad alle in die Erde gelegt mit der Wurzel nach unten zeigend. Bis alle aus der Erde kommen 24/7 Licht. Dann 18/6 Luftfeuchtigkeit auserhalb des mini Gewächshäuschens 60-70 % Temperatur 20-25 grad

Showing flower sites, did some defloiation, aroma increased

Cantaloupe haze needed a good flush brought runoff from 2000 ppm to 1100ppm will continue to monitor.
