🇩🇪 Woche 4 Vegetation 🌱 | Cherry Limeade 🍒🍋 Diese Woche hat mich die Cherry Limeade endlich etwas aufatmen lassen. 🙌 Sie ist innerhalb einer Woche von 8 cm auf 21 cm gewachsen – ein deutliches Zeichen dafür, dass das Wurzelsystem langsam beginnt, sich im Living Soil zu etablieren. 💚 Trotzdem bin ich überzeugt, dass der schwierige Start auf die direkte Keimung im sehr nährstoffreichen Living Soil zurückzuführen ist. Rückblickend war das für einen empfindlichen Sämling vermutlich einfach etwas zu viel. Ich vermute, dass die Wurzeln zunächst mit dem aktiven Boden zu kämpfen hatten und deshalb das oberirdische Wachstum lange hinterherhinkte. Für den nächsten Durchgang werde ich deshalb definitiv wieder Bottomless Pots mit BioBizz Light Mix verwenden, damit die Pflanzen zunächst in einem milderen Substrat anwachsen können und erst später in das Living Soil einwurzeln. 🌱 Leider war ich diese Woche auch drei Tage beruflich unterwegs. Während dieser Zeit hat sich meine Blumat-Bewässerung bei etwa 50 mbar eingependelt. Zusammen mit der zuvor sehr hohen Bodenfeuchtigkeit war der Wurzelbereich vermutlich dauerhaft etwas zu nass. Das könnte erklären, warum der jüngste Wuchs zwischenzeitlich leichte Aufhellungen und Verformungen gezeigt hat. Mittlerweile habe ich das Klima angepasst und den VPD auf etwa 1 kPa angehoben. Jetzt heißt es beobachten, wie sich der neue Wuchs entwickelt. 🌿 Ein weiteres Thema sind die Trauermücken. Die Population hat in den letzten Tagen etwas zugenommen, weshalb ich heute zum ersten Mal BTI über das Gießwasser anwenden werde. Ich hoffe, damit die Larven im Boden in den Griff zu bekommen, ohne das Bodenleben negativ zu beeinflussen. Mein Cover Crop entwickelt sich ebenfalls fast zu gut. 😅 Es nimmt inzwischen viel Platz ein und beeinflusst auch den Wasserverbrauch des Beets. Deshalb werde ich es in den kommenden Tagen Schritt für Schritt kräftig zurückschneiden und bis zur Blüte größtenteils entfernen. So sollte die Cherry Limeade wieder deutlich mehr Licht und Platz bekommen und das Blumat-System hoffentlich etwas konstanter arbeiten. 🌾✂️ Jetzt stehe ich noch vor der nächsten Entscheidung: Topping oder nur LST? 🤔 Eigentlich wollte ich morgen mit dem Topping beginnen, bin mir nach dem etwas holprigen Start aber noch nicht ganz sicher, ob ich der Pflanze lieber noch etwas Zeit geben sollte und zunächst nur LST anwende. Was würdet ihr an meiner Stelle machen? Trotz der kleinen Rückschläge bin ich mit der Entwicklung inzwischen wieder deutlich optimistischer. Das Wachstum hat spürbar angezogen und ich bin gespannt, ob Cherry Limeade in den kommenden Wochen ihr volles Potenzial zeigt. 🍒🍋💚 📊 Aktuelle Parameter: * 💡 Licht: 400 PPFD (18/6, Stufe 3, 40 cm Abstand) * 🌡️ Temperatur: 30 °C * 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 75 % * 📈 VPD: 1,1 kPa * 🌿 CO₂: Ø 1000 ppm * 💧 Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 50–150 mbar ⸻ 🇬🇧 Week 4 Vegetative 🌱 | Cherry Limeade 🍒🍋 This week Cherry Limeade finally gave me a reason to smile. 🙌 She grew from 8 cm to 21 cm in just one week, which is a clear sign that the root system is finally starting to establish itself in the Living Soil. 💚 However, I’m still convinced that the slow start was caused by direct germination in a very nutrient-rich Living Soil. Looking back, it was probably a bit too much for such a young seedling. I believe the roots needed a long time to adapt to the highly active soil before the plant could really focus on above-ground growth. For my next run I’ll definitely use Almicanna Bottomless Pots filled with BioBizz Light Mix, allowing the seedlings to establish themselves in a gentler medium before growing down into the Living Soil bed. 🌱 Unfortunately, I was away on a business trip for three days this week. During that time, my Blumat irrigation system settled at around 50 mbar, leaving the root zone wetter than intended. This may explain the slight chlorosis and deformation that appeared on the newest growth. I’ve now adjusted the environment and increased the VPD to around 1 kPa. From here on, I’ll mainly watch how the new growth develops. 🌿 Another challenge has been fungus gnats. Their numbers have increased slightly, so today I’ll be applying BTI for the first time through the irrigation system. Hopefully this will control the larvae without disrupting the biology of the Living Soil. My cover crop has also become a little too successful. 😅 It now occupies a lot of space and noticeably affects the bed’s water consumption. Over the next few days I’ll gradually cut it back heavily and remove most of it before flowering, giving Cherry Limeade more space, light and helping the Blumat system become more stable. 🌾✂️ Now I’m facing my next decision: Topping or just LST? 🤔 I originally planned to top her tomorrow, but after the slow start I’m wondering if it would be better to give her a little more time and only use low stress training for now. What would you do? Despite the small setbacks, I’m feeling much more optimistic again. Growth has clearly accelerated, and I’m excited to see whether Cherry Limeade will continue to catch up over the next few weeks. 🍒🍋💚 📊 Current Parameters: * 💡 Light: 400 PPFD (18/6, Level 3, 40 cm distance) * 🌡️ Temperature: 30 °C * 💧 Humidity: 75% * 📈 VPD: 1.1 kPa * 🌿 CO₂: Ø 1000 ppm * 💧 Soil moisture: 50–150 mbar

Sidecar Strain description from breeder: Genetic Background: Strawberry#13 x Mimosa Type: Feminized Sativa 60% Indica 40% THC: CBD: Yield Indoor : gr/m2 Height Indoor: 0 - 0 cm Flowering time: 8 - 9 weeks ( 58 - 65 days) Aroma: 
Effect: Expectations and training method: I know these genetics are a bit delicate so I’ll be taking things very easy. The breeder suggests topping and training the branches because she can grow fast and tall. By what I’ve seen from the local growers, she can produce some savory chunky buds which is what I’m aiming for. I’ll follow the breeder’s suggestion and Top/LST which is what I’ll be doing to almost all my other strains as well on this run. As for the yields I’m not expecting much given the numbers I got from local growers. No more than 40 grams per plant but always aiming for more. I’ve already smoked this strain grown by the breeder and other local breeders, which is what made me want to grow it myself. I expect nothing but trichomes and terps from these ladies.

Whew, I am a few days late in posting but I have been MIA. Glad to be back to my plants and gardening. My faithful follower @hindugod even reached out to me to see why I was late in posting my pictures. Thanks for keeping up with me, as we are growing our Gorilla Cookies at the same time so as to compare our results. A Disney Vacation was good for me but not so much for my plants. I also left my husband and two livestock in charge of feeding and protecting my plants from the elements of nature. Gorilla Cookies continues to grow tall but her leaves are getting burned AND I have some very poor looking leaves. So I don't know if this is a feed problem or a Mother Nature problem or both???? Love taking pictures with my new magnifier. Love watching the flowering stage close up. It has been quite hot this past week, but hopefully we will get a break in the weather. Please continue to enjoy my diary and let's chat it up friends.

So this was the first week I saw active budding. Also the first week for issues. Had a phosphorus deficiency issue. Feeding twice a week instead of once a week now. Removed the large fan leaves which were suffering most. She seems to be perking back up though. Hopefully a better report next week.

Merlin Mintz Autoflower is growing great. She just got a solution change today to blooming nutrition. Everything I'd doing really well. Thank you Aeque Genetics, Spider Farmer, and Athena. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

(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.

Day 35, start of week 2 in flower, everything is going great so far✌️🏼🌱 Day 37 - All the ladies are looking great✌️🏼🌱 Day 38 - ladies got watered today, looking good & starting to put off a nice smell😍 Day 40 - Still have a lot of yellowing leaves towards the bottom of almost all the plants can’t figure out exactly what’s wrong😅😅

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme. Heute ist der letzte Tag draußen in der Sonne ☀️ heute Abend kommt sie ins Zelt.

6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

Still feeding 1.6 ec. Pistils are getting bigger. Smell is really weak....perfect for stealthy grow. No signs of disease / bugs / bud rot till now.

the strain is really strong , low temperatures resist , 3 weeks around 12/16º graus and steell growing wel nice new colos between week 4/6 in flowering. really good strain to manipulate! 5 stars * * * * *

Today marks Day 66 from seed to harvest for my Purple Haze Auto by FastBuds. Overall, this girl had a smooth and healthy life cycle from start to finish. She responded very well to HST (High Stress Training), which helped create a more open canopy and improved light penetration across the plant. Throughout the grow, she showed strong vigor, good resilience, and steady development. At harvest, I ended up with 231g of wet buds. The flowers are covered in beautiful, shiny trichomes that give them an impressive frosty appearance. The buds look very promising, with excellent resin production and great bag appeal already visible before drying. One of the things I enjoyed most about growing this strain was how easy and rewarding it was. She handled training well, stayed healthy throughout the grow, and produced attractive flowers with plenty of sparkle. The aroma became more noticeable toward the end, adding to the excitement of harvest day. The harvest is now drying, and I'm looking forward to seeing the final dry weight, terpene profile, and smoke quality once curing begins. So far, I'm very happy with the results and the overall

I just noticed today I’m having some top leaves yellowing between the veins. My ph is on point so I don’t think it’s a deficiency. I haven’t changed anything except the Carboload. So I think I’m going to dump my tank and flush. I really cannot imagine its the Carboload either. So I’m a bit perplexed. I decided after digging into The scrog and finding some lower yellow leaves it was a nitrogen deficiency. Upped the A&B

05/30/2019 What a week she responded well to the 12 - 12 light cycle flip and is in BEAST mode , check out last weeks pic before the light change to 12 - 12 she is lower than the green cross brace in background after 1 week she's made great progress, this week start defoiliating and watching for real flowers to start building up.

Ich hätte noch locker 2 Wochen dranhängen können.. Aber ich habe bewusst jetzt schon geerntet da ich die kleinen Buds und Sugar Leafs zu Bubble Hash verarbeiten werde, das sind satte 479g,ich habe keine Ahnung was das dann an Bubble Hash ergibt. Falls das jemand weiß schreibt es mir in die Kommentare.. Ich habe ein wet trimming gemacht, hat mich 4 Stunden gekostet, aber: 857g Nass Gewicht !! Wandert jetzt für 8 Tage in den Cannatrol Cool Cure. Edit: 186g Trocken Gewicht nach Curing, alle Stängel sind zudem entfernt. Riecht sehr frisch. Der Smoke ist sehr mild, aber die Wirkung haut mächtig rein, eher Sativa Effekte, hatte nen mega Laber Flash.. Auf jeden Fall viel THC. Das war ein Hochsommer Grow, die Sour Jealousy von FastBuds hat die hohen Temperaturen problemlos weggesteckt. Man muss dazu sagen, dass mein Zelt prinzipiell immer offen steht, so kann auch kein Schimmel entstehen denke ich. Nur muss ich eben mit 2 Luftentfeuchtern arbeiten.. Ich bin mega happy und auch stolz, das ist erst meine 4. Ernte, ich habe erst Mai 2023 angefangen mit dem Anbau. Vielen Dank lieber Grow Gott für die reiche Ernte!!
