Kicked cup over a little when watering and the seed moved to the side. Donโ€™t really know if I should be concerned about where in the cup it sprouted, also noticed a little discoloration in the leaves turning a little purple ish, so I decided to put a heat mat in the tent and move the light a little closer at night to combat the cold also put heat mat back in tent

FERMAKOR BARREL MIX โ€“ BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way โ€” first week running without them) ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿ’ง 30 L Barrel โ€“ Current Working Mix ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ Step 1 โ€“ Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35โ€“40 ยฐC) โ†’ added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. Thatโ€™s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 โ€“ FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel โ†’ added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 โ€“ Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring โ€” no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. ๐ŸŒฟ Step 4 โ€“ FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) โ‰ˆ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone โ€” looks alive and active. ๐Ÿ‹ Step 5 โ€“ Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. ๐Ÿ“ฆ Step 6 โ€“ Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water โ†’ pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green โ€” roughly 5.8 โ€“ 6.0 range.

Mid week update: did the defoliation over a couple of days. she looks gooood. so many lovely buds. Stretch started this week! waaaaattttt. she's once again one BUSHY lady. was advised to limit pruning once flowering started, but things are getting out of control ๐Ÿ˜‚. think i'm going to have to do some ladyscaping as a mid week update. Slow growth as expected with the lower set point on the reservoir temp (19 C) - as a result of a slight smell. still has the smell, but nothing in the water on on the sides of the reservoir so not going to worry for now. Bought another air stone and need to install ASAP. SO many roots and with sooooo much volume that the one stone just gets swamped. pretty impressive root system. Shout out to all the growmies that have helped me on this journey. Things are good.

Was a smooth week. Did a flush and fresh nutrients. Kept the nutrient dose the same since everyone looks happy. Started training and trimmed a few leaves and branches off. I plan to switch them to flower after week 5. She is one of the slower growing plants. Heavy indica with short fat leaves. Still pumping nutrients 24 hours.

Plant has been delightful to grow I've been growing in without any major incident other than the train nutrient lockout which has recover great from it .the buds smell very strong dark green look to them with Snow White trichomes everywhere they are very beautiful to look. looking forward to harvest probably in one or two more weeks I will keep checking closely the trichomes i usually like 10% to 30% Amber .

Itโ€™s been a good week for the Pineapple Expressโ€”great growth, thanks to daytime temperatures of 23ยฐC in the sun and a light breeze. The internode spacing is good, the first side shoots are forming, and you can see a difference every two hours. It already has a subtle scent, but it smells delicious ;-)

The second week of vegetation is going well! This time, Iโ€™ve decided to try the Green House Feeding BioEnhancer instead of BioBizz Root-Juice. Iโ€™ve had issues with the shelf life of Root-Juice in the past, so Iโ€™m curious to see how BioEnhancer performs. The plant is looking healthy now, but it had a bit of a rough start. I initially planted it in soil that was too heavily pre-fertilized, which caused the first leaves to turn yellow.๐Ÿ˜” Thankfully, it recovered quickly and seems to be thriving now. ๐Ÿ’ช To keep the plant as stress-free as possible during vegetation, Iโ€™ve decided not to train it for now. I want it to focus on strong, natural growth without any added strain. Iโ€™m excited to see how it progresses over the next few weeksโ€”things are looking promising!๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜Š

The plant was easy to grow overall .. it grew fast and a little on the tall side which had me nervous but I was able to raise the lights up just enough to finish, so it all worked out in the end. buds came out hard and frosty no complaints . This was a freebie seed too! didnโ€™t expect it to come out as fire as it did man was i wrong. Straight fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ Ran into root rot in the beginning of veg but the great white and hydroguard saved my ass.๐Ÿ™

Hi growmies well found, today the vadi are still full of water so no watering pheno 2 mimosa is demonstrating her hulk genes too bad pheno 1 can't do the same too much stress for her two feline attacks were too much even runtz suffered only one but in a too premature phase by the way yesterday while I was trying to make it open a little I patched it the plant shows that it is not elastic perhaps a little silica would do me good but I will use it in the next stressful event in another race I implemented on Monday when I watered green sensetion and sugar royal for the two mimosas that the small runtz and the zenzation are now flowering which is doing well even if in two weeks back it reacts well to the lst I hope it can reach large sizes in the next week and then start flowering when it wants for runtz and zenzation the usual mix remained, calmag 4mlxlt, rizotonic 40mlx10lt and whiteshark 2 spoon x 36lt ph 6.2/6.3 added the scrog net in which the mimosa is having a lot of fun I'm very sorry about how the other plants have suffered from stress, the feline demon has been banished from the room where the girls sleep but I won't give up, I'll bring the result home in mid-December, we'll see what nature and my ability are able to do have a good week and cultivation everyone thanks for the comments and likes never stop growing๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผโœ…
