Die ladies wachsen wirklich gut und waren so buschig, dass ich heute schon ein kleines lollipopping machen musste ✂️🥦. Geruch kann man auch schin wahr nehmen. Bis auf beschneiden und lollipopping werden die Damen aber nicht trainiert 😋

Zhampagne - Compound Genetics Day 77 - watered with 3L of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed in order and then pHd to 6.3. 🚿 She has been working hard on bulking her flower this week and has dried back much faster, so I've increased her water volume from 2 to 3 liters 💪🏻 The breeder suggested that this one finishes pretty quick and by looking at her flower, she looks a lot further along than week 5 of bloom! 🌸 Not much work on her this week, I just removed a couple of fan leaves to improve light penetration, so for now, I'm just going to let her work on developing her bud 💪🏻

Jour42 defolliation and LST Jour45 defolliation Jour47 arrosage avec de l'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 1ml par litre d'eau de topmax biobizz La plante entre maintenant en floraison c'est donc le début du stretch Explication en anglais (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common. May the force be with you 💪

Grown outdoors no nutrients just tap water (about 1Gal/day) on the days with no rain... usually around noon when I can see them sag and the weather forecast doesn't predict rain for the rest of the day. I add Terpinator (30mL/Gal) when I water manually. •This week, since they're in full bloom and the weather cooperates (plants are outside and shouldn't rain for at least the next 24h) I will give them a dose of SuperThrive... 2020 was an exceptionally warm summer in Quebec. Seeded on May 20th Sprouted on May 23rd Kept in nursery (watered with tap water + B1 vitamin (3ml/L) until Transplanted outside June 16th Bloomed August 19th @ 6' tall No Technique applied, she grows as she feels the needs.

After vegging the plants for a few weeks I transplanted them to the flowering tent. They will stay in veg a maximum of 1 more week and then I will switch them in to flower. I also added worms to the soil to keep it nice and airy and have a as natural grow as possible.

14.10.2022 🌱 114 giorni dal seme 🌻 42 giorni fioritura 💧 2 l/48h 6.0 ph 2.2 ph Finita la 6 settimana di fioritura. Alcune varietà mostrano segni di fioritura più avanzata, come la Kush Mintz di Barney's Farm, è la più gelata di tricomi tra tutte le varietà. Gelato#41 di green house Seeds sta mostrando cambiamenti di colore nelle cime, sembra che stiano diventando rossastre. La Jack's dream è forse quella più indietro di tt, e anche la più piccola della tenda. Una delle due Kush Mintz, profuma di ananas matura e dolciumi, un vero spettacolo😋

June 21st update. 7 days since flip Clone#1 Had balls got chopped two weeks ago Clone#2 Last week was 22 inches. This week is 33 inches. Very similar to clone number four but not as vigorous or large. I will say based on how it’s mother has handled toppings that this one is very resilient. Clone#3 Last week was 18 inches. This week is 30 inches. I am most excited for this one. Seems like it has a tighter structure, less spacing and more indica like leaves. It looks different while 4 and 2 look very similar. Can’t wait to smoke to this thing. Clone#4 Last week was 28 inches. This week is 41 inches. This one is an absolute animal. Huge node spacing. Heavy bud sites. Needs lots of supports. I love how aggressive this grows and I know this thing can handle some high humidity. Might keep this one just for outdoor growing. All 4 Clones: Will continue to only give water. Each plant is drinking about 4 gallons a week at the moment. The soil I put them in I highly amended with build of soil products and the starting soil was already hot. Really excited to see how they grow. Going to likely super crop this week just based on how they are currently stretching Parents: The one father and 3 mothers were looking bad in their small pots after the last aggressive topping so I was going to transplant. They have since recovered and are looking much better so I will be leaving them along for now God bless!

🇩🇪 Cherry Limeade – Doja Diese Woche hat sich meine Cherry Limeade von Doja hervorragend entwickelt 🌱. Die Pflanze wächst kräftig, wirkt ausgesprochen vital und entwickelt langsam genau die Struktur, die ich mir vorgestellt habe 💚. An den Parametern habe ich im Vergleich zur letzten Woche bewusst nichts verändert. Stattdessen lag der Fokus ausschließlich auf dem Training. Mit einem SCROG-Netz und zusätzlichen Drahtankern habe ich die Triebe kontinuierlich nach unten gebunden, damit sich ein möglichst gleichmäßiges Blätterdach entwickeln kann 🌿. Jeden Tag waren nur kleine Korrekturen nötig, aber genau diese Konstanz macht am Ende den Unterschied. Die Lichtintensität habe ich mit etwa 430 PPFD (DLI 28) bewusst moderat gehalten ☀️. Irgendwie hatte ich das Gefühl, dass bei den sommerlichen Temperaturen mehr Licht eher kontraproduktiv gewesen wäre. In der Vergangenheit habe ich gelernt, dass manchmal weniger tatsächlich mehr ist – und bisher scheint die Pflanze mir recht zu geben 😊. Da ich im Oktober im Urlaub bin, schicke ich die Cherry Limeade heute bereits in die Blüte 🌸. Dafür habe ich den Lichtzyklus auf 12/12 umgestellt. Gleichzeitig läuft die SANlight jetzt auf Stufe 4, morgen folgt Stufe 5, damit der DLI trotz der kürzeren Beleuchtungszeit zunächst wieder bei etwa 25 liegt. Anschließend werde ich die Lichtleistung nach meinem Schema von Woche zu Woche langsam steigern 📈. Letzte Woche war ich vier Tage beruflich unterwegs. Das Blumat-System hat dabei wieder einmal gezeigt, warum ich es so schätze 💧. Es hat die Bodenfeuchtigkeit völlig selbstständig bei durchschnittlich 90 mbar gehalten, sodass ich mich um nichts kümmern musste. Ab nächster Woche werde ich die Saugspannung auf etwa 120 mbar erhöhen und das Living Soil während der Blüte etwas trockener fahren. Heute bekommt das Beet außerdem noch eine weitere Gabe SF-Nematoden. Mein Ziel ist es, die Trauermücken spätestens zu Beginn der Blüte nahezu vollständig ausgerottet zu haben. Insgesamt bin ich mit der Entwicklung im Moment wirklich sehr zufrieden und freue mich darauf zu sehen, wie sie sich während des Stretchs entwickelt 🚀. 📊 Aktuelle Parameter: 💡 Licht: 430 PPFD / DLI 28 (18/6, Stufe 3, 40 cm Abstand) 🌡️ Temperatur: 27 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 72 % 📈 VPD: 1,0 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Ø 670 ppm 💦 Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 90 mbar 🇬🇧 Cherry Limeade – Doja This week my Cherry Limeade by Doja has developed beautifully 🌱. She is growing vigorously, looks extremely healthy, and is gradually forming exactly the plant structure I was aiming for 💚. I intentionally kept all environmental parameters unchanged compared to last week. Instead, my focus was entirely on training. Using a SCROG net and additional wire anchors, I continued pulling the branches down to create a flat and even canopy 🌿. Only small daily adjustments were necessary, but consistency is what makes the difference in the long run. I also kept the light intensity fairly moderate at around 430 PPFD (DLI 28) ☀️. Somehow I had the feeling that, with the current summer temperatures, increasing the light wouldn’t necessarily benefit the plant. Experience has taught me that sometimes less is more—and so far, she seems to agree 😊. Because I’ll be on vacation in October, I’ve decided to send her into flower today 🌸. I switched the light schedule to 12/12, increased the SANlight to Level 4, and tomorrow I’ll move it up to Level 5 so the DLI starts at around 25 despite receiving only 12 hours of light. From there, I’ll gradually increase the light intensity week by week according to my usual schedule 📈. Last week I was away on a four-day business trip, and once again the Blumat system proved why I trust it so much 💧. It maintained an average soil suction tension of around 90 mbar completely on its own, so I didn’t have to worry at all. Starting next week, I’ll increase the target to around 120 mbar, allowing the Living Soil to run slightly drier throughout flowering. Today the bed will also receive another application of SF nematodes. My goal is to have the fungus gnat population almost completely eliminated before flowering really gets underway. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the current progress and can’t wait to watch her stretch over the next few weeks 🚀. 📊 Current Parameters: 💡 Light: 430 PPFD / DLI 28 (18/6, Level 3, 40 cm distance) 🌡️ Temperature: 27 °C 💧 Humidity: 72 % 📈 VPD: 1.0 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Avg. 670 ppm 💦 Soil moisture: 90 mbar

Dam just a beast of an ester and she has these dense hard nugs going ... The water consumption has been high because of the heater I was running .. can't wait for the final product to be done another week and I'll start the two week flush .. the tricohmes are just showing some clear , mostly milky and some amber ..

This is how things are looking for the King's Juice at the end of Week 8 of Flower, I have uploaded a video where I am checking out the Trichomes using my USB jewelers loop. Any questions just ask away guys. 👍🏾🌱💚....... Also a guy I know that has finished their King's Juice before me, has finished the cure, had a smoke and told it that I will absolutely love the smoke 🤤🤤 by the way she smells I can only imagine the flavour!

Premise was to see how "optimal" i can get my first ever Grow. After some Research i came up with the idea to build an Aeroponic System myself using Water Buckets and Venturi Injektors to provider proper aeration. Sadly Seedlings had to wait in EazyCubes cause some parts and Nutrients didnt arrive on time. System was fully operationable on Day 16. Atami Nutrients are inside the System since Day 24, Calmag has been added Day 28. Before that, some Tri-part Nutrient. Planning on switching to Plagron in the Long run, as well as adding Co2, a water chiller and a ~700W LED. Stats: - 5 30L Buckets, 4 Plants and 1 Reservoir - Recirculation happens through 90mm PVC pipes - 16000 l/h pump going through 4x 1" Venturi Injektors pulling around 700 liters of Air per hour - 1mx1mx2m Growtent - 250W The Jackson Nemesis LED Happy about any Questions and Suggestions!
