đŸ—“ïž Week 17: 3/23 - 3/29 📆 Week 7 of 12/12 🌄 The plant is starting to go into senescence and presenting some beautiful colors as she begins to fade. 💡 Received new lighting courtesy of Growers Choice. They sent me the ROI-E420 with the Master Controller. First impression is amazing. Looks and feels like very high quality build. The spectrum seems more blue than the 3000k lm301H Kingbrite bars I have been using. The bars are thinner and packed with a lot of diodes, so they do run a little hotter than the KB at full power. I adjusted and now running them at 90%. For now the Kingbrite bars are being used as side lighting dimmed to about 30-35% depending on Grow room temps.

Week 10: This will be the final update before Harvest: I will update post harvest after the dry and weigh. Day 64-66: Hmm these 4AM are a strange bunch lol. I seemed to have been wrong about 4AM#3 getting better in last week's update, after reviewing the pictures. After realizing this I decided to continue feeding the plants till the end albeit only Calmg and Boost(micro). I decided to give 4AM#3 a 125% dose of Calmg on Day 66. I was worried about root rot because even though she was a bigger plant she drank noticeably less water than the rest. I actually forgot to mention I have had a few fungus gnats during the grow starting at around day 35. I always let the plants completely dry out even until some leaves were really drooping from thirst, so I though I had them under control. I never noticed more than 1 or 2 at a time, which is also why I thought I had it out of control. Maybe they have something to do with 4AM#3's state, but I doubt it. Anyway, 4AM#1 and #2 are doing well. #1 has fully ripened with almost 95% cloudy trichomes, and some amber. #2 on the other hand could still use 7-10 days extra, but regretfully I cannot harvest then... #3 is at about the same stage as #2. Day 67-70: Sadly I noticed too late, but that extra strong dose of Calmg seemed to confirm my suspisions... 4AM#3 had a heavy calmg deficiency... It really is noticeably improving this time! Leaves are regaining some slight saturation! And she drank her water very quickly this time! So bummed about having to harvest this weekend... Day 73... Oh well next time I will be able to harvest more freely and at different times for each plant if needed. She still has a good bit of cloudy trichomes on her calyxes though, around 40-60%, and very very few ambers, but her sugar leaves are already full of them. As for 4AM#1, looking great! gona be the smallest buds but definately the most dank! 4#2's massive buds are still having trouble staying upright, but looking forward to those for sure! RED ALERT: Shiiiit... So as I was watering 4AM#3 on day 69, I noticed, what I'm pretty sure is, BUD ROT! Damn, I'll have a picture as part of this update. I had very bad experience with bud rot last fall(planted my autos too late in the summer, lost over half my plants and had to harvest early), but that was with 10C temps and 80%+ RH. I have FOUR fucking fans in this damn tent, and it's always over 20C! But I'll be honest, I knew if it was going to happen, it would be THAT part of the plant positioned closest to that oscillating fan I have on the peace of wood... The bud closest to it(in the corner) is in it's blind spot, doesn't get direct breeze on it. And that's the bud, and the ONLY bud that seems to have been affected. Strangely though, this bud rot feels different to the touch than the one I had last summer. Very dry, and like I said, very isolated to that ONE little part. I cut it out and have the rest of the bud drying as a tester in my room. And my entire room STINKS. I seemed to have been wrong about that last week also; The 4AM smells so much stronger than the White Cracks. See you after the Harvest!! ;) It's been awesome and a fun learning experience!

It's called Fat Banana for some reason...Huge fat alongated colas, white and yellow point at the light. Royal Queen Seeds exceeded themselves with this one. And I don't even used to like autos. Its eating like crazumy and The smells are an amazing variety of sweets and frutal tones. I'm expecting amazing smoke and a huge production. Thank you @JamesđŸ”„đŸŒđŸ™Œ

1/20/2023- So much to do pre grow and over the next 16 days, absolute first order of business is that I have to take down my current Grow---TIMBER-- Then I have a list of things I have to get done in order to be ready to start this grow 1 Feb. With that said T - 2 days until start 48 hour Flush T - 2 days until Start 48 hours of Light T - 4 days until TIMBER!!! Items that need to be done before 1 Feb 2023 1. I need to clean the tent out 2. I need to clean the equipment- Proper Sanitization between grows in Hydro is a must!!! 3. I need to get the hole in the ceiling above my tent repaired- For my last grow I had a deep sink installed in my grow room, to make Hydroponics a little bit easier and have a water source in the same room. The seals on the pipes they were installing broke and leaked through the ceiling causing some damage all the way across my grow room, I was already weeks into my grow and couldn't risk them working above my tent and it would have been very awkward positon for them to be working in as well, so have to get this done quickly between chop and germination. 4. I have to install my new light- I was using a Vivosun 4000 and for this grow I am switching up to a Spider-farmer SF 7000. 1/20/23- For this upcoming grow I am working with M/F photo seeds so I ordered 4 Sex determination kits. I recieved my my 4 Sex determination testing kits from Rimrock Analytics today. I will be using these to test my plants at week 2 of Veg so that when/if I take clones I know I am taking them off females. As well as I don't want to accidently pollinate my tent during this grow I am looking for big beautiful buds not seeded buds. :-) 1/24/2023- Harvest of current grow- Started at 2:00pm and finshed wet trim and firt batch into the freeze dryer. 1/25/2023- Next batch into the freeze dryer and cleaning all my equipment for this Grow. T-1 Day until the workers are supposed to be here to fix the hole in the Grow Room. T-3 days until I instll my new Gorilla Grow Tent and my New Light Spider Farmer SE-7000 for this grow. T-7 Days until Start of Germination 1/26/2023- Harvest is done ran through the Freeze dryer and dry tim completed. 1/27/2023- Grow Room repairs completed. Hole is gone Letting the paint dry before I install the new tent. T-2 days until Install the New Gorilla Grow tent and the new Light T-3 days until I put the hydro equipment in the new tent T-5 days until Germination 1/29/2023- Day 0- Final Pre Germination activities Germination Start T-3 days The paint on the ceiling was dry and it was time to finish prepping for Germination. I got the following items knocked off my list. New 4X4 Gorilla Grow Tent is up and ready New Spider Farmer SE-7000 Light is installed- Thanks Moony Grows for the suggestion and for the Code that got me some money off and free shipping (Moonygrows)!! I turned the lights all the way up to max and set the timer to 18/6 0600-0000. I will keep an eye on the temperature and humidity without my plants and see how hot it gets with the new light. I put my Hydro system back together and put in 40 gallons of water into it, time to monitor for leaks the next few days. I Setup my cloning machine for Germination Days 3-11 1/30/2023 let me break down the situation, ROOM in the TENT.. Enough said.. No really I tried putting my exhaust system up in the new tent with my new light, The light is so big corner to corner that it really didn't give me enough room for the lights be be raised, with the exahust hanging the buckets my plants are Starting in are 2 and 1/2 feet off the ground, great for plenty of room for roots but not so great for upwards space for the plant to grow. In a 6' 11 tent with the exauhst in side and hanging that only gave me a little over 4 feet of grow room to play with. My last grow if you saw my diary, anyone could tell I was struggling to keep the buds off the lights. No good, Since space was such an issue I was running my carbon filter inside on the ground but It really needed to be up sucking the heat out not shooting the cool out. With that setup I was sucking air through the filter and pushing it out the tent at a bottom exhaust hole cold out. Wasn't doing me any good for my heat. I was hitting temps of up to 85 degrees. I bought a portable AC unit and have been running it in the grow room to try and keep temps below 85 and I have had to lower the power on my lights during grow also not ideal.. With that said a friend of mine MoonyGrows (Check out his diary) took the time to look at my issue send me a picture of my grow tent setup with detailed instructions on how to suck the air out from the top but putting my filter and fan on top of my tent so no room issue and I am sucking the air out from the top where the heat is instead of pushing the air out from the bottom where the cool is... THANK YOU MoonyGrows For taking the time to help me get this straightened out.. Now I have room and I have the exhausts working right and now my temps with everything at 100% are topping out at 80 this dropped the temp by 5 + degrees at 100% max. T-2 days until Start of Germination Prepped my seed tray with humidity dome Prepped my Rapid Rooter plugs. I Used RO water, and I added a few drops of Hydrogen peroxide to Oxygenate the water. I then PH balanced between 5.7-6.0 the same that they will be getting in the Cloning Machine and when they get to thier final grow pod. I perfere the 5.8x range and I hit 5.84 for these rapid rooters. If you want to see a complete video on the process HowWeedGrow has an amzing video that shows step by step how to do it and explains it better than I ever could including how to plant the seeds. Which I will cover when I get to that step on Wed. https://www.howweedgrow.com/how-germinate-weed-seeds-cannabis-rapid-rooters/ 1/31/2023 T-1 day until Germination Start All set and ready have my Rapid Rooter plugs ready to go have my seeds out.. Have my seed tray warming up tonight. Tomorrow morning right into the Rapid Rooter then strait into the tray. I will spray the dome to start the humidity in there. 2/1/2023 Germination Day!! Let the games begin! 0600am Put the seeds into the Root Riots. And then put the seeded Root Riots into their first home the Seed tray. I have them under the light 24/7. Sprayed the dome 7:30pm Sprayed the Dome to keep humidity going on the dome. 2/2/2023 Day 1 of Germination Sprayed the Dome in the morning Sprayed the Dome in the evening 2/3/2023 Day 2 of Germination Roots are starting to come out the bottom of the root riot plugs and the heads are slowly popping out of Number 4 just below the surface. Afternoon- Number 4 has popped up Evening- Number 3 has popped up as well. Happy Dance!! 2/4/2023 Day 3 - Germination Surprise Surprise Surprise- all 4 have now poked their heads up.. Happy day!! 100% Germination succeeded. Now major milestone to track is how many are female and how many are male. I will take look at the roots this afternoon/evening and see if they have enough root to go into the cloning machine for the next 7 days before they go into their Hydro Pods. Day 3 - Germination - Evening.. Roots looked good and they were tall enough to make it into the cloning machine. Now that they are all in the cloning machine I have switched the lighting to veg state 18 on 6 off. 2/5/2023 Day 4 - Germination - Morning All the Ladies (fingers crossed) looking great stretching nicely and look nice and green, Photo synthesis underway.... UPDATE!! After a very interesting POD cast on FSTS by Dr. Bruce Bugsbee from Utah University, I have shifted my lighting to 24 hours on through seedling and then I am going to shift to 20 hours on the rest of Veg. 2/6/2023 Day 5 - Germination While Checking on my conditions inside the new tent last night, I found that the Humidity was down to 39 Percent. I added an AquaOasis Cool Mist Humidifier, the reason I selected this humidifier is that I needed one that could be turned on and off utilizing my Inkbird Humidity Controller IHC200 that I have my Pro Breeze Dehumidifier currently running with. Root structures are starting to get there about 1/4 of an inch. 2/7/2023 Day 6 - Germination Everything seems on track more roots poking out of each today. They are each getting a little taller as well. Checked in the evening and number 3 was drooping the Root riot plug on the bottome was dry and the roots were not in the water yet. I raised the water just enough that the longest root that was sticking out is now hitting the water. 2/8/2023 Day 7 - Germination Everything looked good while checking in on them this morning number 3 is now full up and no droop again. 2/9/2023 Day 8 - Germination T-2 days until Plant into Forever Pods and we start week 1 of Veg .. :-) Surprising thing to me is that number 1 and 2 were later in popping then 3 and 4 but the roots are growing longer in 1 and 2. 2/10/2023 Day 9 - Germination Number 1 and Number 2 are definitely ready for transplant today.. Based on how they were yesterday and where they are today I am hoping by tomorrow 3 and 4 are ready. Today they look to me where 1 and 2 did yesterday.. I really hope 3 and 4 catch up by tomorrow since.. T-1 day until transplant to new/ final home for grow. Need the roots long enough to have some clay down in the basket to keep the root riot out of the water and only roots in the water.. 2/11/2023 Day 10 - Germination Today they got placed in thier forever Home, 7 days from Sprout and 7 days until Week 1 Start. PPM- 180 this is water out of the Tap Temp Water: 70.7 Temp Tent: 77 Humidity: 40% I have a humidifier going 24/7 to try and bring this up.. I also have Humidity Domes on each plant. 2/12/2023 Day 11 - Germination Sprayed the domes, all are looking good.. Nothing much to do at this phase but Keep monitoring the PH level in the system and making sure they have a comfortable home. T-6 days until Week 1 start 2/13/2023 Day 12 - Germination Sprayed the domes, They were looking a little yellow today so I moved the light down to assist. Nothing much to do at this phase but Keep monitoring the PH level in the system and making sure they have a comfortable home. T-5 days until Week 1 start 2/14/2023 Day 13 - Germination Sprayed the domes, They were looking a little Florissant yellow today, with what looks like slight burn on the tips, I talked with a fellow grower and we agreed that It was probably that I was drowning them, Yes you can drown you plants even in Hydro, but only early on.. :-) It usually happens with the water being too high, which soaks not only the roots but the medium (root Riot plug in this case). I lowered the water from touching the bottom of the pot to about 1" away. This will probably take 3-4 days to resolve. I will continue my daily monitoring. T-4 days until Week 1 start 2/15/2023 Day 14 - Germination Sprayed the domes, continue my daily monitoring they look a little darker green instead of lime green now that I lowered the water levels in the system, so I think that I might have resolved the issue but it will take a few days for recovery to happen. T-3 days until Week 1 start 2/16/2023 Day 15 - Germination I looked in on them this morning, 3 and 4 look like they are doing well and recovering nicely. Number 1 not so much it has brown spots on the leaves, this very well can still be a side effect of the overwatering but I decide to go ahead and add Nutes earlier than I was planning just incase. I was going to wait until Saturday but I think intervention is necessary now especially after drowning them early on. I added 1/2 what I am planning on adding for week 1 start. I also think I am going to adjust my chart to add 1/2 2 days after plant from now on. I don't think it would hurt it to have some Nutes to pull from. .25ml/Gal Calmag = 12.5ml 1ml/gal GH FloraMicro= 50ml 1ml/gal GH FloraGro = 50ml 1ml/gal GH FloraBloom = 50ml T-2 days until Week 1 start = I will drain the system and start it over on Saturday with Week 1 Nutes. 2/17/2023 Day 16- Germination I didn't even want to post today after looking in on them this morning, 3 of the 4 are now showing signs of dronwing.. Brown spots on the leaves, the water levels were still too high.. I drained about another inch out of the tanks.. Will see how quick they recover.. I start week 1 tomorrow and will have to ensure my water levels are at least 1" away from the basket on this round.

Starting to see the buds really start to bulk up in size over the last few days. Light is set at %100 power for the final phase. Have done a good bit more defoliation again this week and am also continuing to back off with the feeds as I begin to flush out the medium. It’s looking like possibly lights out next week depending on the trichome development. â˜șïžđŸ€žđŸ»â˜˜ïžâœŒïž 🍧đŸȘ🍧

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. đŸ€ž that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited đŸ€— I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

week 3, at day 21 I started to defoliate. needs more airflow around colas. This is the start of defol, will clean and prune as needed next week. Stretching has slowed and colas are starting to stack. Ran a sort of modified manafold into the scrog. "V" on the left has 15 tops from 4 main stalks, she was topped to 4th node early on. "Blue nemo" was topped to the 3rd node early, she has 18 tops after the week 3 prune of the week lowers who couldnt make it up to the canopy. I left some popcorn buds down low that have began to develop, will throw these in the ice water hash after harvest.

Bonjour Ă  tous les padawans et maĂźtres jedis Jour84 arrosage avec 2 litres d'eau ph6.3 Jour86 arrosage avec 2. 5litres d'eau ph6.3 Jour89 arrosage avec 2 litres d'eau ph6.3 LE MEILLEUR MOMENT POUR RINCER SON CANNABIS Le rinçage commence en gĂ©nĂ©ral deux semaines avant la rĂ©colte. Si le plant a une pĂ©riode de floraison de huit semaines, le rinçage doit commencer six semaines aprĂšs le dĂ©but de la pĂ©riode de floraison. Il est prĂ©fĂ©rable de regarder de prĂšs les trichomes sur le plant pour dĂ©terminer quand votre cannabis est prĂȘt Ă  ĂȘtre rĂ©colter. Si les petits trichomes commencent juste Ă  passer d’une couleur transparente Ă  une teinte laiteuse et blanche, c’est une bonne indication que les plants peuvent commencer Ă  ĂȘtre rincĂ©s. Il faut s’arranger pour que la majoritĂ© des trichomes aient changĂ© vers la couleur dĂ©sirĂ©e pour la rĂ©colte aprĂšs deux semaines – ça devient plus facile Ă  faire avec l’expĂ©rience, alors accrochez-vous ! Le rinçage peut Ă©galement ĂȘtre un bon moyen de remettre Ă  zĂ©ro la terre quand un plant est toujours en phase de croissance vĂ©gĂ©tative. Parfois, un cultivateur suralimente par accident son cannabis, ce qui provoque un changement de couleur et un flĂ©trissement du bout des feuilles. Ceci est appelĂ© une « brĂ»lure par nutriments ». Rincer la terre peut Ă©liminer les nutriments excĂ©dentaires, ce qui aide Ă  rĂ©soudre le problĂšme. Cependant, c’est une mesure drastique Ă  ce stade de la culture, alors assurez-vous que le problĂšme soit bien une brĂ»lure par nutriments et non quelque chose d’autre. Le rinçage ne concerne pas que le moment de la rĂ©colte. Cette technique peut aussi ĂȘtre mise en place durant la phase de croissance afin de dĂ©barrasser le sol des nutriments. Bien Ă©videmment, les nutriments permettent Ă  votre plante de rester en bonne santĂ© et vous assurent des rendements maximaux, mais une trop grande quantitĂ© peut causer une accumulation et un Ă©tat statique durant lequel la plante ne peut plus y accĂ©der. Le blocage des nutriments peut ĂȘtre causĂ© par une accumulation saline ou des niveaux de pH incorrects. Ces deux causes peuvent ĂȘtre rĂ©solues par un rinçage de votre plante Ă  l’eau claire. Les fluides viendront pousser les nutriments en dehors du substrat et le dĂ©barrasseront de l’accumulation, permettant ainsi aux racines de pouvoir accĂ©der Ă  nouveau aux nutriments. EMPÊCHER LE BLOCAGE D'ABSORPTION DES NUTRIMENTS AVANT QU’IL NE POSE PROBLÈME Au mieux, le blocage des nutriments peut ĂȘtre un problĂšme, au pire, il peut ĂȘtre un vrai dĂ©sastre. Comme le dit l’adage, il vaut mieux prĂ©venir que guĂ©rir. Il vaut mieux prendre de l’avant pour empĂȘcher le blocage des nutriments plutĂŽt que de s’y atteler lorsque c’est trop tard. EmpĂȘcher le blocage des nutriments peut se faire par le biais d’un rinçage de routine. En rinçant vos plantes une fois avant la floraison et une fois au milieu de cette derniĂšre, vous minimiserez l’accumulation de nutriments. LES ENZYMES À LA RESCOUSSE AprĂšs le rinçage pour contrer l’accumulation ou le blocage des nutriments, vous remarquerez peut-ĂȘtre que vos plantes ont une apparence vert foncĂ©, c’est le signe d’un excĂšs de nutriments. Dans ce cas, certains cultivateurs choisissent d’ajouter une formule riche en enzymes Ă  leur substrat. Au cas oĂč vous auriez oubliĂ© vos cours de biologie, les enzymes sont des protĂ©ines qui catalysent les rĂ©actions. Elles aident Ă  rincer le substrat en dĂ©composant l’amidon, les glucides et les nutriments. Il existe sur le marchĂ© toute une variĂ©tĂ© de produits qui contiennent des formules d’enzymes trĂšs efficaces. Si l’eau ne suffit pas Ă  vos plantes, ces petites protĂ©ines ne feront qu’une bouchĂ©e de l’accumulation de nutriments ! COMMENT BIEN RINCER SON CANNABIS Rincer votre plant de cannabis est un processus simple. À chaque fois que vous apporteriez normalement des nutriments, vous rincez Ă  la place. De l’eau du robinet non traitĂ©e est tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour rincer, assurez-vous juste que son pH est sans danger pour le cannabis. La plupart de l’eau de puits a un pH sain et ne nĂ©cessite pas de traitement, mais s’il est nĂ©cessaire de traiter l’eau de rinçage pour avoir un pH adaptĂ©, faites-le. Les ajustements du pH seront donc la seule chose Ă  considĂ©rer. Inonder la terre avec autant d’eau fraĂźche qu’elle puisse contenir. Laissez l’eau durant quelques minutes pour qu’elle puisse absorber les nutriments, puis inondez la terre encore pour rincer les nutriments loin du plant. Si vous cultivez en intĂ©rieur dans des pots, notez la couleur de l’eau qui s’échappe du fond des pots. Elle sera tĂąchĂ©e et aura une couleur sale. C’est Ă  cette Ă©tape qu’un appareil de mesure des TDS (Total des Solides Dissous) est utile. Si vous rĂ©cupĂ©rez et mesurez le TDS de l’eau « Ă©vacuĂ©e », elle devrait avoir un taux de 1300ppm, ce qui est assez Ă©levĂ©. Il est important de rincer le plant jusqu’à ce que total baisse Ă  un niveau de 50ppm, ou du moins qu’il s’approche du TDS de l’eau fraĂźche que vous utilisez pour rincer le plant. La couleur de l’eau d’évacuation va s’éclaircir et apparaĂźtra plus propre. Vous devez tirer autant que possible de minĂ©raux dissous du plant. Comment et Quand Rincer les Plants de Cannabis Rincer les plants de cannabis avant la rĂ©colte peut faire la diffĂ©rence entre les meilleurs tĂȘtes ou la plus rude pour la gorge. Cette petite tĂąche est simple et facile Ă  faire. Ajoutez juste de l’eau ! Attention car le moment du rinçage joue un rĂŽle critique. Le b.a.-ba du rinçage de ses plants de cannabis. Sommaire: 1. Qu’est-ce que le rinçage ? 2. Le meilleur moment pour rincer son cannabis 3. EmpĂȘcher le blocage d'absorption des nutriments avant qu’il ne pose problĂšme 4. Les enzymes Ă  la rescousse 5. Comment bien rincer son cannabis 6. Comment rincer ses plantes en hydroponie 7. Les rĂ©sultats du rinçage de son cannabis 8. Quand Ă©viter de rincer son cannabis Vous avez enfin fini vos cultures et vous vous retrouvez avec un magnifique plant couvert de super tĂȘtes, maintenant sĂšches, vous avez fait le curing et vous ĂȘtes prĂȘt Ă  fumer – et pourtant quelque chose ne va pas. La weed semble ne pas vouloir se consumer et quand vous tirez une bouffĂ©e, c’est comme si on vous avait donnĂ© un coup de poing dans les poumons et vous toussez en craignant pour votre vie ! Le goĂ»t est rude et dĂ©cevant. Si c’est une situation que vous avez vĂ©cue, il y a des chances pour que vos plants n’aient pas Ă©tĂ© rincĂ©s correctement avant la rĂ©colte. Cette fumĂ©e bien loin d’ĂȘtre agrĂ©able est provoquĂ©e par la prĂ©sence dans le plant des nutriments et minĂ©raux utilisĂ©s lors de la culture, ce qui altĂšre la façon dont le plant se consume. Rincer le plant Ă©limine ces nutriments restants, ce qui amĂ©liore la qualitĂ© des sensations. Heureusement, le rinçage des plants de cannabis se fait facilement et sans effort, et cela vous permet de produire des tĂȘtes douces et dĂ©licieuses en un rien de temps. ARTICLE LIÉ Comment Utiliser les Nutriments pour Cannabis QU’EST-CE QUE LE RINÇAGE ? L’acte de rincer un plant implique d’utiliser de l’eau pour Ă©liminer tout nutriment prĂ©sent dans la terre. Une grande quantitĂ© d’eau est passĂ©e Ă  travers la terre et drainĂ©e sur une base rĂ©guliĂšre. Tous les minĂ©raux et nutriments prĂ©sents dans la terre sont rincĂ©s avec le temps avec l’eau, ce qui laisse une terre propre. Mais pourquoi vouloir Ă©liminer tous les minĂ©raux de la terre ? N’est-ce pas mauvais pour la rĂ©colte ? En fait, cela aide Ă  la rĂ©colte de maniĂšre significative. Quand les nutriments sont Ă©liminĂ©s de la terre, ceci force le plant de cannabis Ă  utiliser tous les nutriments toujours prĂ©sents dans le plant. C’est comme pour le corps humain. Quand on consomme beaucoup d’aliments, ce que nous n’utilisons pas est transformĂ© en graisses. Dans les situations extrĂȘmes oĂč la nourriture est rare, le corps s’appuie sur cette graisse stockĂ©e pour tirer de l’énergie. Comme rincer force le cannabis Ă  utiliser tous les nutriments restants dans le plant, aucun ne devrait rester et altĂ©rer les tĂȘtes rĂ©coltĂ©es. Cependant, si vous le faites trop tĂŽt, cela peut nuire Ă  la santĂ© du plant, le moment est donc clĂ©. LE MEILLEUR MOMENT POUR RINCER SON CANNABIS Le rinçage commence en gĂ©nĂ©ral deux semaines avant la rĂ©colte. Si le plant a une pĂ©riode de floraison de huit semaines, le rinçage doit commencer six semaines aprĂšs le dĂ©but de la pĂ©riode de floraison. Il est prĂ©fĂ©rable de regarder de prĂšs les trichomes sur le plant pour dĂ©terminer quand votre cannabis est prĂȘt Ă  ĂȘtre rĂ©colter. Si les petits trichomes commencent juste Ă  passer d’une couleur transparente Ă  une teinte laiteuse et blanche, c’est une bonne indication que les plants peuvent commencer Ă  ĂȘtre rincĂ©s. Il faut s’arranger pour que la majoritĂ© des trichomes aient changĂ© vers la couleur dĂ©sirĂ©e pour la rĂ©colte aprĂšs deux semaines – ça devient plus facile Ă  faire avec l’expĂ©rience, alors accrochez-vous ! Le rinçage peut Ă©galement ĂȘtre un bon moyen de remettre Ă  zĂ©ro la terre quand un plant est toujours en phase de croissance vĂ©gĂ©tative. Parfois, un cultivateur suralimente par accident son cannabis, ce qui provoque un changement de couleur et un flĂ©trissement du bout des feuilles. Ceci est appelĂ© une « brĂ»lure par nutriments ». Rincer la terre peut Ă©liminer les nutriments excĂ©dentaires, ce qui aide Ă  rĂ©soudre le problĂšme. Cependant, c’est une mesure drastique Ă  ce stade de la culture, alors assurez-vous que le problĂšme soit bien une brĂ»lure par nutriments et non quelque chose d’autre. Flushing Le rinçage ne concerne pas que le moment de la rĂ©colte. Cette technique peut aussi ĂȘtre mise en place durant la phase de croissance afin de dĂ©barrasser le sol des nutriments. Bien Ă©videmment, les nutriments permettent Ă  votre plante de rester en bonne santĂ© et vous assurent des rendements maximaux, mais une trop grande quantitĂ© peut causer une accumulation et un Ă©tat statique durant lequel la plante ne peut plus y accĂ©der. Le blocage des nutriments peut ĂȘtre causĂ© par une accumulation saline ou des niveaux de pH incorrects. Ces deux causes peuvent ĂȘtre rĂ©solues par un rinçage de votre plante Ă  l’eau claire. Les fluides viendront pousser les nutriments en dehors du substrat et le dĂ©barrasseront de l’accumulation, permettant ainsi aux racines de pouvoir accĂ©der Ă  nouveau aux nutriments. EMPÊCHER LE BLOCAGE D'ABSORPTION DES NUTRIMENTS AVANT QU’IL NE POSE PROBLÈME Au mieux, le blocage des nutriments peut ĂȘtre un problĂšme, au pire, il peut ĂȘtre un vrai dĂ©sastre. Comme le dit l’adage, il vaut mieux prĂ©venir que guĂ©rir. Il vaut mieux prendre de l’avant pour empĂȘcher le blocage des nutriments plutĂŽt que de s’y atteler lorsque c’est trop tard. EmpĂȘcher le blocage des nutriments peut se faire par le biais d’un rinçage de routine. En rinçant vos plantes une fois avant la floraison et une fois au milieu de cette derniĂšre, vous minimiserez l’accumulation de nutriments. LES ENZYMES À LA RESCOUSSE AprĂšs le rinçage pour contrer l’accumulation ou le blocage des nutriments, vous remarquerez peut-ĂȘtre que vos plantes ont une apparence vert foncĂ©, c’est le signe d’un excĂšs de nutriments. Dans ce cas, certains cultivateurs choisissent d’ajouter une formule riche en enzymes Ă  leur substrat. Au cas oĂč vous auriez oubliĂ© vos cours de biologie, les enzymes sont des protĂ©ines qui catalysent les rĂ©actions. Elles aident Ă  rincer le substrat en dĂ©composant l’amidon, les glucides et les nutriments. Il existe sur le marchĂ© toute une variĂ©tĂ© de produits qui contiennent des formules d’enzymes trĂšs efficaces. Si l’eau ne suffit pas Ă  vos plantes, ces petites protĂ©ines ne feront qu’une bouchĂ©e de l’accumulation de nutriments ! Comment et Quand Rincer les Plants de Cannabis COMMENT BIEN RINCER SON CANNABIS Rincer votre plant de cannabis est un processus simple. À chaque fois que vous apporteriez normalement des nutriments, vous rincez Ă  la place. De l’eau du robinet non traitĂ©e est tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour rincer, assurez-vous juste que son pH est sans danger pour le cannabis. La plupart de l’eau de puits a un pH sain et ne nĂ©cessite pas de traitement, mais s’il est nĂ©cessaire de traiter l’eau de rinçage pour avoir un pH adaptĂ©, faites-le. Les ajustements du pH seront donc la seule chose Ă  considĂ©rer. Inonder la terre avec autant d’eau fraĂźche qu’elle puisse contenir. Laissez l’eau durant quelques minutes pour qu’elle puisse absorber les nutriments, puis inondez la terre encore pour rincer les nutriments loin du plant. Si vous cultivez en intĂ©rieur dans des pots, notez la couleur de l’eau qui s’échappe du fond des pots. Elle sera tĂąchĂ©e et aura une couleur sale. C’est Ă  cette Ă©tape qu’un appareil de mesure des TDS (Total des Solides Dissous) est utile. Si vous rĂ©cupĂ©rez et mesurez le TDS de l’eau « Ă©vacuĂ©e », elle devrait avoir un taux de 1300ppm, ce qui est assez Ă©levĂ©. Il est important de rincer le plant jusqu’à ce que total baisse Ă  un niveau de 50ppm, ou du moins qu’il s’approche du TDS de l’eau fraĂźche que vous utilisez pour rincer le plant. La couleur de l’eau d’évacuation va s’éclaircir et apparaĂźtra plus propre. Vous devez tirer autant que possible de minĂ©raux dissous du plant. COMMENT RINCER SES PLANTES EN HYDROPONIE Le rinçage des plantes en hydroponie est bien plus simple que de se dĂ©barrasser des nutriments en terre. Les cultivateurs en hydroponie pourront simplement drainer leur systĂšme et le remplacer par une eau au pH neutre. Le rinçage des plantes en hydroponie est aussi un processus bien plus court. Une fois que la rĂ©serve d’eau aura Ă©tĂ© modifiĂ©e, les plantes en hydro n’auront pas accĂšs aux nutriments externes. Pour cette raison, un rinçage de deux jours suffira. LES RÉSULTATS DU RINÇAGE DE SON CANNABIS AprĂšs la rĂ©colte des tĂȘtes, prenez du temps pour bien faire le curing pour atteindre le potentiel le plus Ă©levĂ©. Un affinage correct par curing permet de rĂ©duire encore plus le cĂŽtĂ© rude des tĂȘtes, en Ă©liminant des choses comme un excĂšs de chlorophylle. Vous serez Ă©tonnĂ© de voir la diffĂ©rence que ce petite effort peut avoir sur votre produit. Tout votre travail se sentira dans la premiĂšre bouffĂ©e de cette weed douce comme de la soie, qui caresse la gorge comme du miel. Le plus doux de la nature. Vous pouvez donc amĂ©liorer la qualitĂ© de votre cannabis en ajoutant juste de l’eau ! QUAND ÉVITER DE RINCER SES PLANTES Le seul moment oĂč nous recommandons d’éviter le rinçage de son cannabis est lorsque l’on travaille avec une terre biologique amendĂ©e ou un super soil. Ces substrats ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©veloppĂ©s avec prĂ©caution afin d’hĂ©berger des micro-organismes bienfaisants tels que des bactĂ©ries ou des champignons. Cette dĂ©licate biodiversitĂ© pourrait ĂȘtre Ă©liminĂ©e et endommagĂ©e par le rinçage. Une fois de plus, l’absence de rinçage ne devrait pas poser de soucis, car aucun nutriment externe ou synthĂ©tique n’aura Ă©tĂ© ajoutĂ© au substrat. À la place, les plantes comptent sur les micro-organismes pour dĂ©composer la matiĂšre organique et la livrer aux racines. May the force be with you đŸ’Ș
