Grow Diary: Week 8 – Training and Sunlight Transitions The Durban Poison quartet is hitting its stride this week. Looking at the latest photos and video, it’s clear that the training regimen is paying off. The focus of Week 8 has been "Low Stress, High Reward" as the plants prepare for their final move. Plant Progress: Structural Integrity The visual profile of DP1, DP4, DP5, and DP6 is looking fantastic. The foliage is a thick, vibrant green, and the node spacing is tight, indicating they are getting optimal light levels. Training Technique: The colored LST stakes (red, yellow, and green) are doing a great job of pulling the main stems and secondary branches down. This is creating a level canopy, ensuring that no single "top" is hogging all the sun. Leaf Profile:You can really see those classic Sativa fan leaves coming in—long, slender fingers that are starting to overlap. Root Health:** The main stalks are thickening up nicely, showing good woody strength that will be necessary once they are in the larger 25-gallon bags. The "Defensive Perimeter" Status** The video and photos show the African Marigolds are making great progress in their Solo cups. Current State: They are showing multiple sets of true leaves and look ready for their supporting role. Placement: Having them staged right next to the DP plants on the deck ensures they are already familiarizing themselves with the local environment before the big transplant. The Indoor/Outdoor Rotation The photos highlight the flexibility of the current setup. Sun Chasing: The plants were captured both under the supplemental indoor lighting and out on the deck. This "hardening off" process is crucial for preventing leaf scorch when they eventually move outside full-time. Mobility: The use of the various pots and the proximity to the garden furniture shows how easy it is to shuffle these girls around to catch the best rays or find shelter from the wind. Observations & Nutrition The soil looks well-aerated with a healthy amount of wood-based organic matter. The plants aren't showing any signs of "clawing" or nutrient burn, which means the current organic feeding schedule is hitting the "sweet spot." Next Steps: 1. The Big Move: All eyes are on the upcoming transplant. The plants are definitely reaching the limit of their current containers. 2. Monitoring: Keep an eye on the LST stakes; as the stems thicken, we’ll want to ensure the wire isn't cutting into the "skin" of the stalks. 3. Hydration: With the plants getting larger and the Colorado air staying dry, we'll be watching the soil moisture closely to ensure the microbes stay happy. -Keep growing and stay mindful ✌️

☘️El 21/04 puse a hidratar la semilla por 24hs y luego la coloqué en papel con un poco de agua para empezar con su germinacion. ☘️22/04 - 24hs después germino y midió 1cm. ☘️Coloque la semilla germinada en una maceta que abarca 3L (la marca que utilizo en macetas es "Roots House"), es momentaño ese tamaño ya que me quede sin tierra suficiente para llenar una maceta de 10L como de costumbre. ☘️Le agregue AEGIS que es un producto natural compuesto por propagulos de hongos formadores de micorrizas. Estos se presentan como raicillas colonizadas del hongo y esporas. ☘️El sustrato que utilizó se llama "Nube Verde", su composición es de turba de categoría, perlita, humus, compost, tierra, dolomita y verticalidad. ☘️Voy a dejarla dos semanas en etapa de enraizamiento para que se pueda desarrollar de la forma correcta así la puedo pasar a crecimiento. ☘️25/04 - Cumple cuatro días de vida en total, ya mide 2,5cm de alto. ☘️En estos dias la estaré trasplantado en una maceta de 10L ya que ahora se encuentra en una de 3L. ☘️Salió muy rápido, por el momento viene de manera correcta. ☘️En estos dias estaré subiendo más imágenes! Podes seguirme en insta gram como @bruweed_arg !😶‍🌫️

Drei Eiswasser Spülungen und etwas kühlere Nachttemperaturen haben zwar etwas an der FarbeRichtung bläulich geändert, allerdings blieb das erwartete Purple vollständig aus. Die Blüten sind sehr klebrig und der Duft ist deutlich aber nicht besonders intensiv. In der letzten Woche habe ich einige männliche Blüten heraus geknipst und mir sind auch ein paar Samen aufgefallen. Das selbe Problem hatte auch meine Hindu Kush. An Tag 97 habe ich die Pflanze nach 48 Stunden Dunkelheit abgeschnitten und kopfüber aufgehängt.

When you show love to a plant, she will do the same to you. That’s what’s happening! This gorgeous Euphoria is a gift from nature (and RQS 😄). Not much to say about the ferts, which are doing their job. Flowers are getting bigger, so yeah, cool!

I had to transfer to the bigger pots the week. There was a lot of stretch in the cups and they were falling over. so will see how it goes this week. Coco with the Azomite and a little clone x myco powder at the root base, Just a baby feeding 1 mil/gal of the three part Emerald Harvest and Cal Mag in a 5 gallon bottle. PH at 6.1, then another 5 gallons of plain PH 6.2 water no food to get run off from the pots. The runoff was PH 5.8 so in happy with that. I got the time-lapse running so I will post it at the end of each week moving in to the next one. waiting on a green filter for the camera to help adjust the color so everything will not look blurpule. Cheers.

🌱 Day 36 - Start of Second Week Flowering 🌱 Hello growing friends! 🌿 Today marks the beginning of the second week of the flowering phase, and I’m very happy with how the buds are developing so far. 🌸✨ Since this is my first grow, I’m truly amazed by how fascinating these plants are. It’s an exciting journey! 🌱🤩😎 Last week, I struggled with yellow leaves and a calcium & magnesium deficiency. Fortunately, with the help of BioBizz Calmag, things are slowly improving. 🍃💪 Currently, I’ve set the humidity to 45%—according to my research, this is ideal for minimizing the risk of mold. 💧🚫🌿 🌱 Day 42 - Last Day of the Second Flowering Week 🌱 Hello everyone! 🌿 Today marks the last day of the second week of flowering, and I’ve made some updates to my routine. I’ve increased the nutrients to BioBizz Grow (3ml), BioBizz Bloom (2ml), and BioBizz TopMax (1.5ml). The plants are growing well and have recovered from the calcium deficiency. 🍃💪 I’m continuing to add a bit of BioBizz CalMag to prevent any future deficiencies. 🌱✨ This week, I also added some soil to the pots, as the soil level had flattened out quite a bit. I topped up each pot with about 1.5 liters of soil.

I´m still watering with Terralba’s Black Sugar-cane Molasse. In this diary I´m not going to use PK because I want to see the result of applying only terralba product ... so I´ll decide better what I need in the next diary.

What an absolute experience growing this plant!! She didn't get to be the biggest as I gave her unnecessary stress in her early week. I forgot that I treated the medium before planting, and I watered with normal values. This causes nutrient lockout which took 2 weeks to correct, which then stunted her growth. 5L also battled deficiencies after flushing to correct the lockout. she was knocking on heaven's door for weeks, and she still produced some beautiful buds! Once that was fixed, she flourished really well!! she showed beautiful colour on the buds. nice and dense. sweet herby scents coming from this plant! She took big feeds, and tolerated high nutrients in flowering too. 10L plant will be cut down in 2 weeks!! No mould, no pests, no mildew. what a plant!!! I have 3 more of these beans, and i really want to run them again!!! 13/12/23 Dry weight is in. she managed to produce an ounce, 28g exact! plus all the tester nugs i've...tested. 14/12/23 10L strawberry pie has now also been cut down!! this plant was my sleeper!!! she grew so well, beautiful colas, thick nugs, full of resin!!! 331g wet weight. I think this plant will yield as much as the three other plants combined!!! LST was a great plus on the 10L pot! 7 day dry should do the trick!!

WEEK4/1F Die Guava befindet sich parallel zur Blütenbildung auch ordentlich im Stretch. In der Höhe hat die Guava gut um das doppelte zugelegt. Zur Stabilisierung und dem Schutz vor zu viel Wind hat die Guava eine kleine Stütze an ihre Seite bekommen. Mit der direkten Sonne ohne den Schutz vom Mini-Gewächshaus hat sich die Guava super arrangiert. Zum Ende der Woche war das Wetter recht durchwachsen und es gab leider etwas weniger Sonne und leider auch etwas Regen. Dafür soll es aber Dienstag/Mittwoch kommender Woche ordentlich Sonne geben💪🏼 Gegossen wird immer nur nach Bedarf. Bei dem Regen Ende der der woche brauchte natürlich nicht viel gegossen werden.

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.
