I thought the plants would grow a bit faster, but I also pruned a lot of shoots. The root mass is now increasing rapidly on both plants, and this time they're staying white and healthy. I think the light penetration into the reservoir is lower, the oxygen supply is better thanks to the new air pump, and the Athena Cleanse from the start is also helping. Now I need to figure out the best power setting for the new lamp and the exact setting for the sweet spot. The temperatures should finally rise, so I can soon do without the radiators. It's still much too cold in the basement. I am always grateful for advice and tips from experienced growers. 😉 Especially growers with experience using Athena: is IPW worth it ? 04/26/2026 Damn. Another stupid accident caused trouble. 😡😡 One of the green radiators rolled over to the Sour Fraise and burned the stem of the plant. All the bark is gone all the way around. I cut the plant above the burned area, treated the stem with Clonex gel, and placed it in a rockwool cube soaked in a cloning mixture according to the Athena scheme. Let's hope it works.

So I changed lights this week to 600 w hid Hood is air cooled so we’ll see how this finishes! Everything is going great, buds getting bigger every day.

Another week without any big issues! I am still figuring out this light though, I started lowering it now and it is at 100%. I am surprised how little heat it is putting off. I haven't had to remote mount the driver.

Bubble OG Gum autoflower grew really well. Super frosty colas with a sweet bubble Gum smell. The grow was fairly smooth. I did treat once for mites when she was going into flowering. Beside that there was no major issues. Thank you Ganja Farmer, Spider Farmer, and Athena blended line nutrition. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

The grow is going exactly as planned so far, and the plant was topped on day 16. To minimize stress from the procedure and boost recovery, I bumped up the relative humidity, dropping the VPD for 24 hours. At the same time, I slightly dialed back the light intensity for this short recovery phase. ​I watered twice this week with one liter of nutrient solution each time. The first feed was at an EC of 1.8, and for the second one, I lowered it a little to an EC of 1.4. ​Right after the short recovery phase, I applied some LST to pull the final 4 main shoots outwards. By the end of the week, the light intensity was increased again and is now sitting at 75% (around 450–500 PPFD). The plant is now ready for a very early flip to the 12/12 light schedule.

Okay flower stretch is done, and stackin and frosting starts! A smell with some creamy flavours, wow. 102% happy. Love the veganics, the only thing i have to clean the Autopot reservoir and tray frequently because there are some debris, White particles after 5 days or so. Autopot recommends to use mineral nutrients because they are cleaner, but this time i want to try another feeding to get more natural weed/taste. 24 celsius, 50% humidity and a VPD of 1.13. 2 Ventilation Fans PPFD at the top = 1015, but no light burn, she is prayin! Removed some leaves and some tiny little buds which won't produce anything.. Thanks to Bionova for the vegan line. And thanks to SSSC for the Tester seeds! DUTCH POWER

BEGIN WEEK 11 - Day 71 - 1/1 - Day 24 into flowering. 1+2 Fert Water. Day 72 - 1/2 - Day 25 into flowering. Soil pH seemed near 7. Needs more acidic soil. 6.0 pH Plain Water. Day 73 - 1/3 - Day 26 into flowering. Soil pH too high over ~6.8. Watered with 5.0 pH water. Day 74 - 1/4 - Day 27 into flowering. Fert Water 1 + 2ml. Day 75 - 1/5 - Day 28 - 4 Weeks into flowering. 5-6pH plain water. Day 76 - 1/6 - Day 29 into flowering. 5pH Plain Water to adjust soil pH too high over 6.8; almost 7. 0.5+1 Ferts added. Finally pH restored to 6.5. Day 77 - 1/7 - Day 30 into flowering. Feed 5pH Plain Water. END WEEK 11.

Yo Farmers, in the plant's 11th week, I had to take some drastic measures to keep her healthy and thriving. First off, I did some major defoliation by plucking a ton of her fan leaves from the lower and middle sections. That way, she could get better airflow and light penetration. It's still not perfect, but we tried. Then, I had to apply some high stress training since the plant was stretching like crazy. It was like she was trying to reach the moon or something. Anyway, during my inspection, I noticed some damage on the leaves close to the light. It could have been from light burn, Calmag issues, or a phosphorus deficiency. To fix it, I adjusted the distance of the light and fed her a high PK nutrient solution to boost her phosphorus levels and nutrient uptake. Gotta keep the girl fed, right? All in all, it was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The plant's still growing strong and looking better than ever.

la planta continua desarrollandose y engordando los cogollos, Parece que de nuevo hay algun tema nutricional que hace amarillear las hojas, pero no creo que merezca la pena corregir nada porque ya esta en tiempo de descuento de acuerdo con lo que indica rqs. Con la malla scrog se han desarrollado una cantidad importante de colas y cogollos buenos en ramas secundarios, están bastante compactos, va a ser una buena cosecha sin duda. He detectado algo de moho en las superficie de las bolas de arcilla, imagino que materia vegetal que se ha caido y se ha pudrido por humedad. Retiraré esas bolas y listo, no parece que sea una afectación profunda

This week in my grow room has been full of developments. First, I added additional lights because I couldn't get the relative humidity (RH) under control. I ordered a dehumidifier, but it will take a few weeks to arrive, so I had to find a temporary solution. I also emptied the reservoir and refilled it with fresh water and nutrients. I secured the net to ensure it stays in place under tension. In two days, I plan to switch the light schedule to 12/12, hoping the plants will stretch a bit during the switch to avoid having overly large buds that aren't evenly spread. Seventeen hours later, I decided to keep the lights on a 16/8 schedule for a few more days. The plants are starting to show signs of something happening, so I want to see how they develop. I will keep you updated on the progress. Then, I received a message from my supplier that the dehumidifier would arrive today. Great news—time to spice things up! On June 2nd, the dehumidifier arrived, and I managed to get my Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) to 1.17! This is fantastic news, and I'm very curious how this will affect water usage. The dehumidifier seems pretty powerful, with water literally dripping out of the hose, so I'm no longer worried about high humidity levels. It's a shame it doesn't have a range setting, but I couldn't expect more for the price. I'm considering ordering the Dimlux Auxbox to set a working range and separate day/night settings. Thankfully, the dehumidifier has an auto-restart function after a power loss. On June 3rd, the night is over, and while my values are now more stable, I haven't noticed any significant differences in water absorption. What I do notice is that the pots seem much drier. The difference in leaf temperature compared to the room temperature has increased slightly, now about a 2˚C difference, indicating that evaporation has increased somewhat. Despite the dehumidifier cooling the air, the room temperature has risen. This is explainable since dry air heats up faster than humid air. The CO2 heater is also running significantly longer. So, although there are no immediately visible differences, there are indeed some changes. Today is the last short night of 8 hours, and tomorrow will be the first night of 12 hours. I am contemplating doing a 10-hour night first and will decide later tonight. After closely reviewing the video footage, I noticed some divergent colors on the leaves. My pH is currently 6.4, which I had adjusted to compensate for the low pH last week—a foolish decision in coco, I know. I plan to make videos of each individual plant for my records to investigate further. The light is too intense to inspect them up close, so the videos will help me get a better look.
