☀️ // Day 28 🌱 Damn, this plant made unreal progress in the last week. Kinda ridiculous, considering her rough start. I topped her last thursday, on day 24 of veg. She responded very, very well with an instant boost of the side branches. Her illness is also gone, all leafs are looking more healthy than I have ever seen in person. Now the soil seems to have stabilized itself and the BioTabs nutrients are kicking in. Beautiful to look at. Her fan leafs are also the biggest ones ever for me and with no signs of any nutrient related stress. I still removed them to boost light penetration to the side branches. This time it really broke my heart tho, because they were just the most beautiful leafs ever. Really loved the last week and I am excited again for the future of this beautiful plant. This time, I gave her 2 more branches. So I topped one node higher and try to lollipop pretty nicely to just have 8 main branches with no more sides what so ever. Just 8 branches of big buds, that's the goal. I watered her with another 2L on day 24, too. But she hasn't gotten anything since then because I pre-watered her on that day. The soil was not dry from the watering on day 22 but I was on vacation for 2 days. I wanted to make sure that she does not dry out. I will wait now one more day and feed her tomorrow, on day 29 with 3L. That makes a total of 5L since last weekly update. 💦 Watering: 5 L with pH = 6.5 💊 Fertilizer: Just water with epsom salt 💡 Light: 450 PPFD at 70%

She stretched on me. Turned up the light a little . I made a mound with the coco around her to keep her up right. I purposely don’t fill the grow bag to the top for this reason. She’s already strong enough to hold her self up now. I’ll add a bit more coco for extra support. Added some dynomyco

Woche 12 | Laughing Buddha | Der Umzug ins Hobbit-Megaprojekt Diese Woche stand ein Meilenstein an. Die Autos sind geerntet und gecurt, die Gorilla 720W hängt endlich an ihrem Platz und die Laughing Buddha durfte in ihr neues Zuhause umziehen. Und was soll ich sagen? Sie scheint den Umzug nicht nur gut verkraftet zu haben… …sie scheint darauf gewartet zu haben. 😅 Das neue Zuhause In den letzten Tagen wurde der große Growbereich aufgebaut. * 120 × 120 cm SCROG-Fläche * Zwei Netze (später zur Blüte sogar drei) * Gorilla 720W LED Gen II * Controller mit Sensorik * Klimaanlage * Luftbefeuchter * Mehrere Umluftventilatoren Auf den ersten Blick wirkt das Setup fast absurd groß für eine einzelne Pflanze. Als die Buddha frisch eingezogen war, wirkte das Netz riesig und die Pflanze fast verloren. Keine 24 Stunden später sah die Sache schon ganz anders aus. Test der “Billig-Lampe” Bevor die Laughing Buddha endgültig ihren Platz bekam, wurde noch eine günstige LED getestet. Das Ergebnis war überraschend positiv. Für eine preiswerte Lampe lieferte sie deutlich mehr Licht als erwartet und könnte für Anzucht, Stecklinge oder kleine Projekte durchaus interessant sein. Trotzdem wurde schnell klar: Für dieses Projekt spielt die Gorilla in einer ganz anderen Liga. Der Unterschied in der Lichtverteilung ist enorm. Erste Messungen mit der Gorilla 720W Natürlich musste die neue Lampe ausführlich getestet werden. Aktuell läuft die Gorilla auf: * 50 % Leistung * 50 cm Abstand Gemessen wurden dabei rund: 374 PPFD Das klingt zunächst wenig für eine 720W-Lampe. Man darf aber nicht vergessen: Die Fläche ist riesig und die Pflanze befindet sich noch mitten in der Vegetationsphase. Der Vorteil liegt aktuell nicht in maximaler Intensität, sondern in der unglaublich gleichmäßigen Ausleuchtung. Die Buddha bekommt jetzt Licht auf die komplette Krone statt nur auf die obersten Spitzen. Klima läuft erstaunlich stabil Die ersten 24 Stunden nach dem Umzug wurden genau beobachtet. Temperatur: * Nacht: etwa 21–22 °C * Tag: etwa 23–24 °C Luftfeuchtigkeit: * meist zwischen 60–65 % VPD: * überwiegend zwischen 0,8 und 1,2 kPa Genau der Bereich, den ich aktuell sehen möchte. Besonders interessant: Die stärksten Wachstumsschübe fielen genau in die Zeit, in der Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit und VPD optimal zusammenarbeiteten. Die Buddha scheint sich unter diesen Bedingungen ausgesprochen wohlzufühlen. Die Reaktion der Pflanze Und jetzt wird es verrückt. Die Triebspitzen lagen nach dem Umzug vollständig unter dem Netz. Nur etwa 24 Stunden später drückten sie bereits wieder nach oben. Das Wachstum ist aktuell beeindruckend. Die Krone wird breiter, dichter und gleichmäßiger. Der Stamm hat mittlerweile eher die Dimension eines kleinen Baumes als die einer Zimmerpflanze. Besonders erfreulich: Die Mitte arbeitet genauso aktiv mit wie die äußeren Bereiche. Genau das möchte man bei einem großen SCROG sehen. Der Plan bis zum Urlaub In zehn Tagen geht es für zehn Tage in den Urlaub. Ursprünglich stand die Frage im Raum, ob die Buddha vorher noch in die Blüte geschickt werden soll. Nach reiflicher Überlegung fiel die Entscheidung dagegen. Der neue Plan: * Weiter wachsen lassen * Netz 1 füllen * Etwa 10 cm Höhe gewinnen lassen * Die Spitzen ins nächste Netz wachsen lassen * Bis zum Urlaub weiter verteilen Während des Urlaubs wird lediglich gegossen. Nach der Rückkehr folgt: * Große Bestandsaufnahme * Triebe neu verteilen * Alles auf eine Höhe bringen * Unterhalb der Netze gründlich aufräumen * Kurze Erholungsphase Erst danach erfolgt der Wechsel auf 12/12. Kontrolle statt Rekorde Ursprünglich stand die Idee im Raum, etwa 72 Tops unter den 720 Watt zu platzieren. Das bleibt weiterhin ein spannendes Ziel. Allerdings wird die Kontrolle über das Blätterdach wichtiger genommen als eine möglichst hohe Anzahl an Trieben. Lieber 50 bis 60 perfekt positionierte Speere als ein völlig überfülltes Netz. Alles, was später nicht sauber ins Konzept passt, wird konsequent entfernt. Am Ende zählt nicht die Anzahl der Triebe, sondern die Qualität des Canopys. Fazit der Woche Diese Woche hat gezeigt, welches Potenzial in dieser Pflanze steckt. Der Umzug verlief problemlos. Die Gorilla liefert exakt das, was ich mir erhofft hatte. Das Klima arbeitet stabil. Und die Laughing Buddha scheint gerade erst richtig in Fahrt zu kommen. Noch steht sie mitten in der Vegetationsphase. Noch laufen lediglich 50 % Lampenleistung. Noch ist nicht einmal das erste Netz vollständig gefüllt. Aber zum ersten Mal habe ich das Gefühl, dass dieses Projekt etwas ganz Besonderes werden könnte. Die nächsten Wochen werden zeigen, wie weit die Buddha dieses Netz tatsächlich erobern möchte. Eines steht fest: Langweilig wird es definitiv nicht. 😎

9/26 This fucking sucks. Site won't let me upload pictures. Flood warning in effect. I believe this is the fifth day of rain. Not trickles. Sheet rain and high winds. My dream catchers have been taking this like a champ. Ice cream cake was totally sideways for awhile despite vertical trellis. I came down this morning to branches bent at 90° angles. I could've taken them but if I make it through this rain today it's supposed to stop tonight. Then I'll have a week of good weather. Buds are exploding. Even the ice cream cake. That will need more time but I'm getting close with the others. They are never out of sight. I'm surprised they've held up so well so far. I made my decision it would be stupid to alter it now, seeing how the storm is ending. I was going to spray k bicarb but I'll wait until after this rain.UPDATE: Went back over and the garden was flooded. I needed to put one grow bag on top of another as one plant was in six inches of water. I drained it and added supports and pulled off any dead leaves. I tried taking a video but it was raining so hard it stopped after 7 secs. Luckily my dreamcatchers are strong AF. Took to little ones and put them under the barn under a light. It's FINALLY stopped raining. After I smoke I gotta go back over and shake buds again and check for rot. Luckily nothing was broken but it was hanging right down. Fucking sucks. Spent like two hours in sheet rain. UPDATE: Stopped raining. I went over and continued to defoliate and cut little bits of rot from the interior. Sprayed a gallon of potassium bicarbonate and dawn on ever spot of rot I could find. I've been to the patch multiple times today. Found a few earwigs. I think I've found my problem. Late stage leaf septoria with earwigs eating the rotting plant matter. Fucking sucks but at least I have an idea. Can't upload pics and phone wouldn't even work in the rain. One 7 second video. 9/27 The extra work I've been putting in has certainly helped. I got in touch with a company who will do any type of extraction I want for $200 a lb. Fucking awesome. My cousin got 250 grams love rosin last year with this same company. I am sore. I checked trichs but I'm not seeing much Amber yet. Buds are gaining density fast. At least now that I have an idea what my problem is I can address it. Plants showed signs of pm after drying out. I did a k bicarb spray and this morning there isn't a spot. I need to take care of what's hanging so that's the plan today. 9/28 I think I made the right decision.my plants are looking good. Not where I want them but it's getting close. I checked the trichs this morning. Under 24 hour surveillance till harvest. Well it has been but now I stay up every nigh watching the cctv. Went down in the middle of the night to check for nocturnal bugs. Didn't find any. I've been defoliating the yellow septoria leaves. I went through every plant and cut out any rot and removed andy sugar leaves that started to turn brown. This and the k bicarb seem to help. I think that Leaf septoria has dwarfed the growth of the smaller dream catcher. Buds don't seem to be growing much more. Even my ICC has buds almost the size of the little one. The other dreamcatcher will probably be an elbow plant. The ice cream cake has beefed up incredibly and is covered in trich's. I'm super excited but I'm cautious at the same time. I hate that fucking dog but it's an added layer of security. Soon I'll do the harvest report for DJ short blueberry. 9/29 Trich's are changing fast. Haven't been watering lately do to all the rain. Plants are real real close. Up all night watching. Dog flipped out at 4am but no one was there. I want to wait until I have a little more Amber but I'm super excited. I may end up taking some tops. May end up doing a k bicarb spray today. Haven't decided yet. I'll update as I go. I've been making head way trimming the blueberry. 9/30. Things are looking beautiful. The smell at the garden is amazing. Lots of hard work left. Plants do have septoria and slight pm so I may do a bud wash. I cut a branch from each plant. I think I'm at the point of diminishing returns. Every wet night mold and critters take more and the chances of some idiot coming to try and take my shit increases. I may end up harvesting a little earlier. I'd lie to wait but the trichs look pretty good to me. Still doing all the maintenance required. I am extremely proud of this grow. I fought everything this year. Started with mites and thrips. Powder mildew came with them too. Now I've faced every pest or disease this year. At least it seems that way. I've seen the horror stories on my local Facebook thread. Leave your comments and let me know what you think about trichome stages and whether it would be ok to harvest. 10/1 Rained last night. Defoliated and removed some rot. I'll update later in the day. 10/2 Rained last night and I have A LOT to update which I will later.

I haven’t kept track of the exact number of days since sprouting. But the two oldest plants are in their tenth week. In calendar this would probably be the last week of feeding before flushing. I’ll try to keep going with these ones until the younger two are more ready too, currently only in their eighth week. The last grow had a younger plant which I cut a little early. It was a nice, bright clear headed smoke. But i think we prefer the more mature end. The white widow buds are dense in white pistols. They are smaller, but there are a lot of them. They feel more dense than any I have grown so far. Interested to see if that density is still in the dry bud. I’m sick of fluffy buds. The gorilla glue buds are dark and bulbous, but way looser. They are thick with sticky trichomes. The trichomes in the older plants are about 3/4 clear 1/4 cloudy with no amber yet. The younger ones are still all clear.

-Went out of town for a couple days so I premixed my nutes and showed the girlfriend how to feed the girls. Thank the lord shes on board with my grow lol. This was their last feeding and from now until the end they will only be getting PH'd water. The end is near! -After 24hrs of darkness and cold midget plant still didn't flower, I doubt its a photo because I'm growing photo WWs from cropking and they do not look similar at all. Might switch to 12/12 once these girls are done. -Started flush on day 68

Week 4: Vegetative Growth Brrrrrr🤧 It’s been a really cold week for this time of year so far—just under 15 degrees during the day and between 6 and 8 degrees at night. It’s supposed to stay this way for a few more days. But the Gelato is doing great anyway.💪 The temperatures don’t seem to bother her, even though her growth has slowed down a bit... at least that’s how it seems to me. Still, I’m very happy... and she’s also starting to give off a little scent.😍

Topped both plants this week and started to train them with some stakes. Not sure if I will do a second topping or if this will be the only one, give this is an auto. In the absence of a scrog net, I'm using some stakes to try and spread the plant as evenly as possible. Still watering very little and around the sides, with the idea of making those roots stretch. I'm still using Root Juice and plant to keep using it for a few more weeks. From next watering I will start to introduce BioGrow, BioBloom and TopMax and cut out Acti Vera and Bio Heaven for now.

I ran into a few problems with this grow as it was my first indoor organics grow but I know where I messed up so I shouldn’t repeat those mistakes. With that being said the quality of the cannabis is still there and I am excited about starting again using DWC next time. I love Humboldt genetics and I will be growing more of their lineup in the future for sure.
