Привет всем моим друзьям с разных уголков мира. Я надеюсь своим примером, я показываю вам, то что партизанское движение возможно даже на вражеской территории, оккупированной клептократами. Если вы следите за мной, то вы знаете, что у меня подготовлено несколько партизанских отрядов. У меня было 40 растений Амурского гиганта, который родился в Амурской области, который входит в состав Дальневосточного федерального округа моей страны. Эти растения идеальны для выращивания на всей территории России. Я выбрал 30 самых сильный растений, которые проявляли гены гигантизма и вывез их за город на природу. Для того, чтобы удачно перевезти и трансплантировать 30 растений мне потребовалось очень много усилий, я расскажу вам об этом по порядку. Сразу оговорюсь, что у меня был один помощник, который выполнял всю физическую работу. Одному такое такой объём работы за один день сделать практически невозможно. Если вы один то, вы должны разделить свою работу на большее количество этапов, иначе вам будет слишком сложно. 1. В общей сложности ушло около 425 литров субстрата. Я взял 250 литров земли для цветов, добавил туда 115 литров вермикулита и около 60 литров гумуса – остатки жизнедеятельности дождевых червей. 2. Самым важным составляющим моего субстрата был гидрогель. Он удерживает до одного литра воды в течение 3 недель, даже перемешав его с землёй. У меня было 35 литров гидрогеля. 3. Так же у меня было порядка 30 литров чистой воды, в которые я добавил корневые стимуляторы и активаторы метаболизма. 4. Так же у меня было с собой немного перлита и пеностекла, но мне не хватило этих материалов на все растения. Но вы так же можете их использовать. После этого я выкапывал ямки, засыпал туда субстрат и добавил гидрогель, после чего трансплантировал растения. Мы приехали на место днём, но проработали на нём до самой ночи, пока на улице не стемнело. Как только все растения были удачно трансплантированы, мы удачно покинуло место, не включая фонарей или фар. Сейчас мне предстоит пересадить за один раз более 56 растений и перевезти практически 1000литров субстрата. Это крайне рискованно, но у меня нет другого выбора, так как была плохая погода долгое время. Если вам интересно следить за приключениями травки в России, подписывайтесь на мои дневники.

1 er Cycle : Ne vous faisons pas attendre plus longtemps, la magnifique Runtz fut atteinte en croisant une Gelato et une Zkittlez. Nous en avons déjà trop dit. La Runtz est le pinacle de la sélection moderne de cannabis, vous offrant l’un des hybrides les plus équilibrés disponibles (50 % sativa et 50 % indica) avec une puissance incomparable et un profil de terpènes dont l’odeur est simplement semblable à un sachet de bonbons aux fruits. Bon, rentrons dans le vif du sujet. La Runtz reste relativement petite dans la salle de culture, elle atteint une taille modérée située entre 80 et 130 cm. Une de nombreuses choses superbes au sujet de cette variété, c’est son temps de floraison de seulement 8 à 9 semaines. Cela signifie que vous n’aurez pas à attendre longtemps avant de festoyer dans ses têtes violettes et vert-citron recouvertes de résine. Ses rendements aussi sont impressionnants. Avec un peu d’amour et d’attention, la Runtz est capable de produire 450 à 500 g/m² en intérieur. Cultivée en extérieur, vous pouvez vous attendre à récolter à peu près la même quantité par plante, plantes qui seront prêtes fin septembre début octobre. Une des qualités les plus excitantes et acclamées de la Runtz, c’est bien évidemment son high. En tant qu’hybride très équilibrée, la Runtz vous offre le meilleur des deux mondes. Vous profiterez de sensations de relaxation physiques intenses et profondes, mais pas du genre à vous clouer au canapé. Attendez-vous à vous sentir euphorique, revigoré et créatif, sans la paranoïa et l’anxiété qui accompagne parfois ces effets. Mais ne vous laissez pas berner par l’expression « très équilibrée » : la Runtz est diaboliquement puissante ! Ses fleurs contiennent un incroyable 27 % de THC ! Alors, allez-y doucement avec sa fumée douce comme de la soie, vous planerez pendant des heures. Mais qu’en est-il de ses saveurs et arômes ? Bon, vous vous doutez bien qu’on vous a gardé le meilleur pour la fin ?! La Runtz porte ce nom pour une bonne raison. Mettre son nez dans un sachet de Runtz, c’est profiter exactement de la même odeur que celle d’un sachet de bonbons sucrés : voilà à quel point son odeur est incroyablement fruitée ! C’est le genre de variété qu’il est difficile de partager et c’est bien pour cela que vos amis seront verts de jalousie. Elle est tout simplement délicieuse. Bienvenue dans la confiserie ! Vous voulez faire vous-même l’expérience de cet arôme spectaculaire ? Alors mettez-la main sur ce trésor du cannabis. Nous espérons que vous l’aimerez autant que nous ! 2 ème Cycles

It looks great!

Another good week, flowers starting to show, looking good and bushy, it's gonna be a good harvest I think! Banana 2 - 50 cm Banana 1 - 47 cm This week is just water, next week they take another dose of enhancer as in the GHSC feeding schedule.

Day 8, 9-18-24: they're seeming to shoot up rather quickly and that's wonderful! I can't wait Day 10, 9-20-24: They are starting to look like they're supposed to instead of babies! I got them level with each other so the ppfd should be more uniform. It's rained a couple of days this week so the humidity jumped some, but mostly everything is good Day 11, 9-21-24: they are doing amazing. They are starting to spread out nicely! Day 12, 9-22-24: They are really doing well! I had time to set up the camera this morning before work. That's a 4th gen purple star killer clone next to it. Day 13, 9-23-24: they keep getting noticeably bigger! Day 14, 9-24-24: they're growing nicely and starting to branch out. They have also grown pretty thick

10/23: I fed today with One, sweet & sticky, signal, beastie bloomz, silica, and a little Ca/Mg 10/27: Fed today with one, signal, sweet & sticky, silica, beastie bloomz, kangaroots, and humic acid. Lowered the lights to no more than a foot from any cola..most are 7-9" away.

Repotted cookie dough sundae cuttings Tidy up veg tent and and add temp and fan control as plants were a bit neglected and had a slow week , So far they have sprung back into action with the additions and reporting . Root system was nicely developed too

All I can say is dam about this one , she smells awsome , structure is great and she handles stress and training no problem .. The team @originalsensibleseeds has it down right here with this strain .. I'm getting excited to see how shee will look in the next 3 weeks ..

Thursday 16th march day 59 Harvested a couple days earlier then planned as my humidity was getting a bit high and worried about risking mold I decided to chop, have to get a good dehumidifier soon, everything looking lovely, nice and dense with very strong fruity potent smell definitely the best looking plants I have grown to date not the biggest buds but they look quality, chopped plants whole gonna do my best to keep the temp and rh% in the dry room as close 60/60 as I can to get a nice slow dry, 🍁😎 I only took the wet weight from 1 plant back left plant was 270g with large fan leaves removed

Ajusted the fertilizer ratios to meet more optimal solution.

Going good so far..

APRIL 18TH 2024 - The 3rd batch of clones was taken yesterday and mother plants stripped back aggressively now that focus will be going toward the beds and clones. The generation 2 mom's are going to be vegged up and ready to produce our second harvest's set of clones. We have taken 3 batches of clones kept them in half gallon bags in each of the beds so we can pick the absolute best of each to transplant into the beds & proceed into the grow with. Next update will be of each individual diary! We got @Seedsman Purple Ghost Candy in this cycle by splitting the Exotic Animal bed half Purple Ghost Candy ! On the Kitty cat front, Barns finally got the courage to approach us over a few days, Maybe a week. We where finally able to pick her up and bring her inside, She has been a happy new member of the family ever since, Making that another successful rescue animal adopted from outside.

It's week 8 and all she is looking great as she progresses deeper into senescence; however, she is still a bit greener than either of her tent mates! She just seems to get frostier ❄️ by the day and her fragrance smells a bit sweeter than last time I ran her. I love her colors, the pink and yellow contrast is just beautiful! I keep checking trichomes, but still not a lot of amber. Maybe another week or more. Also, I realized my BlueLab Conductivity Meter has the option to switch to EC. Since EC is the most accurate way to measure the nutrient concentration in a solution, I will now be measuring and reporting EC readings rather than PPM. Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome.

Hi everyone 🤗 This week the Orange Sherbert Phenotype # 1 and the Zkittlez Phenotype # 2 were harvested :-) Now the Victory Kush 1 - 3, Zkittlez 1 - 2 and Orange Sherbert 1 are ready to dry. All others except the gelato are rinsing 👍 Orange Sherbert 2 will be harvested next week :-) Until then, I wish everyone a nice weekend, stay healthy and let it grow 🍀🌱👌

These girls are exploding like the bomb seeds they are! Always a treat to grow any Bomb seeds in my experiences. I have grown Both Atomic and Widow bomb before and great seeds/genetics and amazing top shelf buds on massive plants. They are really blowing up now there roots are in the water and all 4 have been topped in prep for LST and there screens. I also installed my DIY reservoir cooler and wrapped my buckets in reflective insulation stuff to keep heat out and keep water cool. Will post some results when I test it more...

Added my other light happy with her progress at the min 👌my diari fooked up 🙃

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]
