Another week in the books! Solid week with good growth rate using Aqua Flores and CalMag. Plant is still stretching and my focus has been trying to get better coverage on each of the longer sides of the tent. Honestly, I'm already happy with it but I guess i keep shaping it for a week more. The middle part is already grown above the netting, but there are no empty space in any direction really, so I'll let them grow and do supercropping later if needed. I've read from many places that you shouldn't defoliate during the first two weeks of flower but there are just too much foliage, leaves overlapping each other and blocking airflow and light. I've done few sessions of removing excess leaves trying my best not to get carried away with it. At the end of this week I also started to remove some of the branches. Either they we're too low and had no chance to reach the canopy level, or they were too close to each other. In that case, I removed the weakest looking one competing for the same spot. After next week, I'll be doing more aggressive defoliation and pruning, deciding which branches to remove. I will split that to few sessions to avoid stressing the plant too much. Moisture has been totally out of control, going over 70% RH. Lot of rain outside and plant drinking heavily. That's one reason I've been removing some of the leaves. That's not the correct solution though, and I ordered AC Infinity's Hydrone 5 dehumidifier. Hope to get it soon next week and get the RH in range. EC has been significantly higher and the plant seems to love it. Solution started at 1.7 and slowly drifted down towards 1.3. I have topped the res with fresh solution, and will let it go down next week and do a full res change. Light is running at 75%, around 800 ppfd (Photone app measurement).

Ahojte, co k tomuhle napsat , no dobře, zůstali jen tři z šesti , tři děvčice mému oku nelahodili ,tak šli z kola ven a jsou tu jen BJP, Lady Pepper a Ice tower aspoň si nemůžou stěžovat na prostor. Jinak z mého hlediska jsou to dobře velké svině jen Ice tower jsem jako kadeřník trošku dojebal ale na sklo bude . Tak ať se daří a potor na banány 🍌 👌👋 mame před sebou jeste tak tři týdny podle voka🤓

Because they light was not enough, I put them under the lamp and added a ventilator to stabilize them. Im waiting for better weather to grow them outside.

Thursday, July16th. Solocup Challenge 2020. @Silky_smooth asked me to Participate. and well why not Iam always open to new Challenges, And I think It will be challengeing. Never grown in a Solocup Before So Iwas thinking a While wich Strains i should take, And i decided to take good growers and resiliant ones. I´ve chosen 3 Strains , 1 Photoperiod and 2 Automatics "AK 47 Autoflower" from Weedseedexpress I started like always in soaking the Seed I took a Bavarian Beerjug called "a hoibe Maß" its a 0.5l Beerjug I am thinking about tthe Drainage Material i should take Claypebbles? Claygranules? Mesh? Perlite=? So Pls tell me what you prefer,,,, thy Friday Seed went under a wet Kitchensponge Saturday Seed cracked Sunday Girls were Planted. I took Claypebbles and let them soak and wash them alittle then into the Jug and some additional Perlite Filled uo with my Soilmix and " Living Organics" Some drips of water.... done

2nd week of stretch done. No deficiencys Big stretch. Thanks everyone

Still stretching but also flowering nicely, started her on advanced nutrients big bud today at full strength along with Ionic grow just for the last stretch. Bit worried about the EC so might drop BigBud down to half if there's any burning tomorrow fingers crossed she's fine.

Last week for this girls .i already flush both and just wait one more week..

Had some issues with mold forming in the bottom part of the pot”1L water bottle”. So I thought I should make a couple of new ones. For what so ever reason I started stabbing the bottom of the new empty bottle and stabbed myself on the hand😀.No comment. I think this is a result of an experiment I did to check the drainage of the pot. I’ll water a very little bit and let the girls to use all of the water near their old soil. I’ll also wash the old soil and let it dry in the sun. Gorilla looks kind of bothered these days. Hope the changes and the change of the fan's volume ,from 2 to 1 non direct,help. Thanks for reading. I’ll keep you updated for the health of the girls. After that do you think I should take out the tent and transplant into 6,5L a bit earlier?

I fed them again today. They haven’t been properly fed, this will be their first full feed. Hopefully they react well. Had some trouble with figuring out the nutes concentrations. Thanks to everyone who’s aided me with this grow. Big up to y’all.

Day 43 : Watering with co2 tab / 5L. Also added food again because i think they need it. Increased ppm to 850. Maybe the next one will be pure water. Ventilation works all the time when lights are on. Temp and humi are stable and this is good for the girls. She has a lot of burns and i dont know why. Dont want to flush or something. I will let her take her way. Patience is the key always. Also removed some burned leaves from all ladies. She took 4cm in 3 days, so i guess stretching finished and start bud production. Edit (Day 47) : Watering with co2 tab every 5L. DsD drank pure water because of burns. She has lost a lot of leaves from bottom. I dont know what to do. I will keep watering her with pure water to see if burns stabilized.

================================================================================= CRIB NOTES - I'M USING A LIGHT CYCLE OF 6 ON 2 OFF THIS SHOULD KEEP THE LADIES FROM STRETCHING AND GROW VERY COMPACT. Many growers advocate the use of an 18/6 light schedule (18 hours on, 6 hours off) while plants are in Veg. However, this may not be the most beneficial light schedule. Switching to a series of 6/2 (6 hours on, 2 hours off) light patterns may increase plant growth while also potentially creating a more stable controlled environment. While this new schedule may sound risky, it actually comes with a number of benefits. Cannabis is a “short-day plant,” meaning that it will only flower when exposed to long periods of darkness and short periods of light. For cannabis to flower, there must be at least 12 hours of continuous darkness. This allows for the use of a series of shorter light schedules while the plant is in Veg – as long as the plant receives less than 12 hours of continuous darkness, it will stay in Veg. BENEFITS OF A 6/2 LIGHT SCHEDULE There is a lot of research that suggests that cannabis plants can only process a certain amount of light per day. After that level has been reached, the plant can no longer absorb more light, and any additional light is essentially wasted. By breaking the light cycle into multiple 6 hour periods, the plant is able to rest and process the light it has received. When the lights come back on 2 hours later, the plant will be ready to process additional light, allowing you to get the most plant growth out of every minute your lights are on. At a biological level, cannabis’s inability to grow more once it has received a certain amount of light can be attributed to the way the plant processes carbon dioxide (CO2). A majority of the mass accumulated in cannabis is associated with the amount of CO2 found inside plant cells. While under light, cannabis tries to prevent CO2 from leaving its cells by cutting off transpiration. However, this prevents new CO2 from entering into the cell, blocking new growth. When the lights are turned off, and no photosynthesis is occurring, the plant is able to absorb new CO2 into its cells. Additionally, when plants are exposed to 18 straight hours of intense light, they become stressed. Signs of stress – droopy or curled leaves – will usually appear towards the end of the light cycle. While some stress can be beneficial to plant growth, too much stress can cause harm to your plants and prevent them from reaching maximum growth potential. Giving plants 6 hours of intense light at a time not only puts less stress on the plants, it also spread out the load on your cooling system over a longer period of time. The cooling system works the hardest when lights are on. By turning off the lights for 2 hours at a time throughout the day, your cooling system will get a break between light cycles, allowing the room to be cooled to desired temperatures before the lights come back on. With a properly sized cooling system, this benefit will be minimized as the system will be designed to handle the heat load throughout the entire light cycle. While there are many approaches to Veg light cycles for cannabis, a 6/2 schedule allows for maximum plant growth. A 6/2 schedule allows plants to process more intense light, prevents plants from becoming stressed and puts less stress on your cooling system. It’s a win all around. Give your plants a break every 2 hours and you’ll be amazed at the results. ================================================================================= Day 1 October 1st - 2018 - The 3 Seeds are in germination at the present. The seeds were soaked in reverse osmosis water for 16 Hr. then transferred to a paper towel. DAY 2 October 2nd - 2018 - 2 out of the 3 seeds have germinated. the first 2 will be put into hydrofarm soilless seed starters using Revers Osmosis water and placed under 3 grolux flor 45 watt. Day 2 October 2nd - 2018 1:00 Pm. All 3 seeds planted into hydrofarm soilless seed starters using Revers Osmosis water and placed under 3 grolux flor 45 watt Day 3 October 3rd - 2018 - 9:00 Am. 2 ladies have popped out there little heads. Day 4 October 4th - 2018- 9:30 Am Seedlings are doing fine. All 3 seeds have germinated. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 ROW being installed. 2:30 Pm ROW installed. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 Seedlings are getting first set of single serrated leaves. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 The tent is setup and running R.O.W. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 Washed all Hydroton Clay Pellets in ROW. NO DETERGENTS. Rinse and Rinse again. Using R.O.W. so the medium has a practically no Ph. Day 6 October 6th - 2018 - Transferred the best 2 seedlings to tent under Veg. 1000 Watt L.E.D. Each bucket contains 19 liters of R.O.W. no nutrients added. This will continue for the next 2-3 weeks depending on growth. Day 6 October 6th - 2018 Seedlings put under Light Cycle of 6 On 2 Off Ect. Day 7 October 7th - 2018 - Seedlings looking good. Seems everything is fine on 6 on 2 off light cycle. Day 7 October 7th - 2018 - The 3rd seed germinated is looking very healthy. Transplanted it from the hydro seed starter to a 1 gallon planter with soil. Placed this in between the 2 main plants in the D.W.C. & used R.O.W.

Good news: managed to transplant a tree out the ground into a neutral space. Took 5 days to bounce back. Tallest plant is growing with no stress Bad news: male plant found. My 2nd tallest and favorite plant looks to be male and will be cutting it

Bien aquí esta el día esperado la cosecha, es mi primer cultivo y considero que lo logre. En muchos medios de lectura y en especial en vídeos mencionan que no puedes esperar mucho es tu primer cultivo. En mi caso es falso y lo demuestro ya que si aprendes, investigas por cuenta y lees lo suficiente, obtendrás un alto porcentaje de que los resultados se den. Muy contento con mi plantas y sus tonos morados. Puntos a mejorar tener una carpa de cultivo y por su puesto un extractor de humedad para que baje la humedad preferiblemente a 45 grados Vendrán mejores contenidos y cosechas mas abundantes. Gracias a todos por su vistas y comentarios. Saludos y bendiciones!

Hi liebe Community and Welcome back! 💚 Ein schönes Wuchsbild verreint mit einem doch unterschätzen Stretch! Die Pflanze hat innerhalb der letzten 3 Wochen einen starken Stretch von knappen 21 cm hingelegt. Das bedeutet, das die Diesel Sativa Gene jetzt voll durchgeschlagen haben. Nach dieser Woche kommt der Stretch jedoch zur Ruhe und Mann sieht der Pflanze an, das sie sich jetzt auf die Blütenbildung konzentriert. Die Trichome fangen an zu sprießen und ein säuerlicher Geruch sticht langsam hervor, so wie es gewünscht ist. Auch die Blattform wird an den oberen Trieben immer schlanker. Die Blütentriebe bilden sich immer stärker aus und die Stigmen fangen richtig ansich rasant zu entwickeln. Bei diesem Genotypen, ist das Wuchsverhalten weitgehend ähnlich, nur die Hauptwuchsphase war mit etwas kürzeren Internioden abständen geprägt. In der Geruchsentwicklung kommt die GMO Genetik, meiner Meinung nach etwas mehr zu Geltung, da sich aktuell etwas mehr der säuerliche Grapefruit Geruch durch kommt. Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind aktuell wieder super! ——————— 🌞 Temp: 22°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 53% VPD: 0,91 kPa 😎PPFD: 830 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

Excellente souche de Green Barato les colas sont de plus en plus gros et givré, elle a une odeur très remarquable d'agrumes frais.

Unfortunately there were problems with the GCA this week and the CCA also showed slight problems. The problem is a severe magnesium deficiency because my water unfortunately has a ratio of 5.25:1 and this was now very clear. I have now set a ration of 3:1 water with bitter salt and CalMag and hope that the plants do not show any further problems

Removed the last lower leaves for good lighting, thereby redirecting energy to flowering, gave a finishing form to the bush at the beginning of the week, no more LST) began to pour water with low temperature to create an atmosphere of cold autumn, well, the harvest is near, we are waiting for 8 weeks!
