Week 8 Flower (Day 85-91 | Flower Day 50-56) Day 85 - Feb 19 (Flower Day 50) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.95 / EC 1.674 Post top-off: pH 5.88 / EC 1.658 Noticed again that the real bulking seems to be happening under the very top tips. Pistils lower down are still white. This matters more than the “top of the tops” look. Day 86 - Feb 20 (Flower Day 51) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.92 / EC 1.804 15 min post top-off: pH 5.95 / EC 1.720 EC had crept up. Top-off brought it back down. Plant posture looks good (praying, not tacoing). Still feels like she’s in “steady stacking” mode. Day 87 - Feb 21 (Flower Day 52) Reservoir change at 01:00 New res: pH 5.78 / EC 1.752 Fed ½ dose of what Advanced Nutrients recommended. Reset felt worth it because I couldn’t find any res changes after Feb 6 in my notes, and I didn’t want to gamble this late in flower. Day 88 - Feb 22 (Flower Day 53) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 6.0 / EC 1.780 ~1 L consumed Post top-off: pH 6.0 / EC 1.894 (first reading likely off - meter acting a bit wonky again) PPFD noted around 790. Also: smell is getting more funky (in the good way). And importantly: she’s not “scarred” anymore - almost all previously damaged leaves have been trimmed away by now. Day 89 - Feb 23 (Flower Day 54) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.0 / EC 1.852 15 min post top-off: pH 5.58 / EC 1.724 pH came in low and got corrected with the top-off. Plant looks fine. No sign of new damage spreading. The trend stays: tops look “older,” but the mid/lower stacking is active. Day 90 - Feb 24 (Flower Day 55) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.56 / EC 1.874 ~1 L consumed 15 min post top-off: pH 5.67 / EC 1.724 Leaves praying. No taco. Everything feels stable and predictable right now - exactly what I want after the January chaos. Day 91 - Feb 25 (Flower Day 56) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.73 / EC 1.872 15 min post top-off: pH 5.80 / EC 1.786 Still holding that same EC band after top-offs. Some tip burn / slight leaf edge crisping visible on a few leaves, but nothing that’s escalating fast. Focus remains on bulking and resin rather than chasing white pistils on the very top tips. Thricomes look mostly clear with a few cloudy and no amber. Week 8 Notes / Takeaways Res change happened Feb 21 @ 01:00 (pH 5.78 / EC 1.752, ½ AN dose). EC after top-offs mostly sits ~1.7-1.8, which is consistent given ~800 EC tap water baseline. Smell turning stronger + funkier in a good way. Canopy damage from the old incident is largely a non-factor now - most of those leaves are gone. The “action” is in the mid/lower stacking and healthy sugar leaf resin production. I'm hoping for another 3 weeks of flower before harvest.

I harvested the plant in week 9. I put her in dark room for 3 days before harvesting. I didnt flush her, just let the soil dry out. I gave the buds 3 washes in water and one wash with water with lemon juice.

Once again, this week starts where the former one ended. With the exception of all the cables you can see in the first picture. I dared to install a minimalized version of the Raspi control only controlling the self-built humidifier and one blower/fan combination. I was very pleased to see how easily the simple diffusor can hold optimum VPD as long as temperatures are high and humidity tends to fall below optimum VPD. A single 10 seconds evaporation can hold the level for about 2–3 minutes. I am not pleased to see the Monsanto blowers rather underperform. It’s impossible to reduce humidity or temperature with both running on full speed, while a lifting of the tent door will bring immediate changes. With the Raspi/Arduino success so far*, I am thinking about using old Power Mac fans which are WCM controllable and use 12 V. At least one to increase air intake, and maybe even the blowers. * It wasn’t any problem at all to have the Arduino collect CO2 and soil moisture data, so after some more cable manufacturing (aka helpless soldering), I could extend the Raspi control. I’m still uncertain about the camera module (@trelorny impressed me with his time lapse videos). I don’t want to put the hardware into the tent with its not so electronics friendly climate, already risking some rare outages of the temp/hum sensor. But the camera module cannot be placed far away. So maybe I’ll use the 3A model I own as a spare part as a camera driver. Any maybe, if it works, invest in a better camera module. Mine is generation 1. Oh, and the ladies! Gave them slightly fertilised water yesterday, and even it or the better VPD yesterday or a combination of both make me believe bud growth is a bit more visible today. The smell in the morning when I open the tent to release accumulated humidity is outstanding. They were already thirsty on day 57 again, so pure RO + a bit of tap water until it spilled out of their pot’s bottoms. Many fan leaves turning autumnally now, and the smallest Sherbet suffered a bit from over-fertilisation as I wrote. But it this stage I don’t go for leaf beauty anymore. Just another learning: Don’t use differently sized pots anymore. Hard to feed them individually this way. VPD was mostly in best range yesterday, and I have the feeling it really supports their bud growth. I added an "Evening time" option to my Raspi control that allows the humidity to sink a selected time before lights shut down. That made it possible to have humidity in best range for most of the night time too. They were even dry again on day 58 morning. Another time just water. The blowers cannot cope with the flowers’ smell anymore, and so sometimes my flat cannot hide who shares it with me. Day 60 presents me with a problem: I’ll leave on Friday for a few days. Considering the microscope pictures are not from the tops buds: Would you say it’s safe to give them another week? Problem solved on day 61. Only clean water from now on, and next week will be their last. You won’t see any new pictures for some days now. Me too … Something I wanted to share with you before I leave: I just finished to update my grow box control with a new PWM fan hat that keeps the Raspi cool, while at the same an infrared sensor can now measure real leaf and additional ambient temperature. Setup is much cleaner and more robust now, but I wish my flux would not make the solder stick to the tip of the machine instead of making it flow and stick at the tiny tiny spots I have to hit …

Bin zufrieden soweit, der PH steigt ab und an etwas lässt sich aber gut korrigieren. Mal schauen wie es weiter geht. 🌈🍉 Luftbefeuchter ist jetzt noch drin und die Luftfeuchtigkeit liegt bei 70%

easy trim✂️ The buds are Absolutely perfect,exactly what i was looking for🤩 Green pheno : cookie,diesel & gelato🍪⛽️🍦 Purple pheno : flower,sweet & honey🌸🍯 After 7 days on the dry rack she was ready for the jar to start the curing process.😋

17.05. I don't have anything special to say, of course the weather is terrible... it's 6-7 at night, 15-16 during the day, so they're inside... the temperature inside is 20-21 during the day, at night from 15 to 17 when it's this cold... the plants were exactly 3 weeks old yesterday, today they entered the fourth week and most likely they will wait inside for the fifth week as well because the weather is terrible and there is no point in transplanting yet. Stay high!

2021-01-17 Puddin shows a lot of Floweringsites, today she gets more supercropping and alittle defoiliation, just to give her more airiation until now she makes moderate stretch around 15 cm new growth in common every 3rd day she gets water with beneficals and from time to time ( once in the week) she gets a feeding with NPK On instagram you can see more of this Project and clain nice Prizes in the Giveaways With this Event, we want to be there for Woman in Need of Help.

She's doing OK, certainly not jumping up in height though.

04/16/24. Hey hiii helloooo. We are entering week 8 wow. I can’t believe we made it. All in all I’m very happy with how thing have gone/are going. I’m not sure exactly how soon or not these will be done. I think they’ve done what they are gonna do and now we’re just watching trichomes. They look sorta done? Like I think I could chop them and all would be fine.. but I’m no expert on trichomes. I think they look milky LOL..mostly? I’m going to let them keep going and watch for any changes. Feeling happy and also sad at the thought of murdering them :( I love them Oh and I dimmed the light to 50% and just giving water still when they’re dry which is every other day. Each drinking 1 gallon. Trichome pictures included for anyone who can look at them better than me.😅

Pretty easy week all around for all my plants. Bud sites are getting bigger and actually getting a little frosty. Gonna be exciting to watch the next few weeks.

Looking good late updating this week creeping the p and l as mid flower comes. Other than that this week coming in will see a light defoliation to help fatten bud sights

All plants are doing fine. Chocolate Skunk - CSK is showing some signs of nutrient deficiency, however I plan to water with nutes next week same with the other strains. Both GPA Cookies are doing really well. They seem to stretch quite a bit so I did some tie down to help spread the leaf base Money Maker is doing excellent! Great foliage, deep green and lush. I FIMmed to slow it down a bit while the rest caught up.

Mental rainbow f1 has been developing well the bid site are bulking up noticeably whilst just started seeing the production of thrichomes on the main bud sites while at the smaller side branches are not that far behind the main ones

A great week this week with their growth and colour. They have all got over their topping sessions and the trauma of being sat in just a cube while their fellow plants basked in their pots !!!. They have begun to grow overnight it seems and I now remember how NFT can go. Better be ready with some ties and tape for the bursts in growth. They are loving the mc at the rate I am using now alongside the shogun silicon and calmag too. No signs of tip burn or unhappiness so far. I snapped a coupke of branches during their supercropping but they certainly wint miss them I sont think. there ate so many good candidates for final colas now . Now the training can get underway. I want to flip them soon so the speed is the deciding factor as to when they get their flowering cycle. Have fun Growmies
