Blütetag 71 | Tag 115 🎬 Rocko's Terp Test – featuring: Apokalypse Grow, Volume 2. Meine Güte, was für eine Woche... Kaum zurück aus einer Reha, begrüßen mich die Klimakurven mit einem Verlauf wie das EKG eines Herzinfarktpatienten. Dauerhafte Hitze, extrem hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit und Bedingungen, die Pflanzen und Grower gleichermaßen an ihre Grenzen bringen. Von einem entspannten Endspurt kann jedenfalls keine Rede sein. Nach den ersten gründlichen Kontrollen zu Hause fiel mir außerdem auf, dass sich der Thripsbefall deutlich stärker entwickelt hat, als es vor meiner Abreise noch den Anschein hatte. In der späten Blüte bleibt der Handlungsspielraum allerdings überschaubar. Befallene Blätter absaugen, frische Gelbtafeln aufhängen und täglich kontrollieren – viel mehr möchte ich den Blüten in diesem Stadium auch nicht mehr zumuten. Die kleinen Mistviecher feiern bei diesem Wetter leider ihre ganz eigene Gartenparty. Natürlich stand direkt auch eine ausführliche Trichomkontrolle auf dem Programm. Endlich konnte ich alle drei Sorten wieder in Ruhe unter die Lupe nehmen. Das Ergebnis: Sie liegen inzwischen erstaunlich dicht beieinander. Die Trichome werden zwar immer milchiger, von echter Erntereife sind wir aber noch ein Stück entfernt. Ehrlich gesagt würde man bei diesem Wetter die Schere am liebsten sofort in die Hand nehmen – aber geerntet wird nach Reife und nicht nach Wetterbericht. Also heißt es weiter durchhalten und den Ladies die Zeit geben, die sie für ihr volles Potenzial brauchen. Leider blieb es bei den Wetterextremen nicht. Ausgerechnet die Fruit Bomb Punch zeigte bereits die ersten Schimmelstellen an der Hauptcola. Zum Glück fiel mir das nach meiner Rückkehr bei der gründlichen Kontrolle noch rechtzeitig auf. Ich habe den betroffenen Bereich konsequent entfernt – nicht nur ein paar Blätter, sondern mehrere komplette Blütentrauben eines Seitenabgangs der Hauptcola. Insgesamt mussten drei Blütenansätze komplett und ein vierter teilweise weichen. Entsprechend sieht die Spitze jetzt etwas angefressen aus. Das tat zwar richtig weh, aber lieber opfere ich einen Teil der Ernte, als dem Schimmel die Chance zu geben, sich weiter bis in den Hauptstängel auszubreiten. Ich bin überzeugt, dass ich keinen halben Tag später hätte reagieren dürfen. Die betroffene Stelle ist jetzt bewusst weit geöffnet, damit Luft und Licht herankommen und alles sauber abtrocknen kann. Umso erfreulicher ist, dass Chicken & Waffles und Strawberry AK sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt weiterhin schimmelfrei präsentieren. Hoffen wir, dass das auch so bleibt. Optisch machen die drei Damen trotzdem richtig Lust auf die Ernte. Chicken & Waffles ist für mich diese Woche der absolute Hingucker. Die dunkle Färbung zusammen mit der dicken Harzschicht sieht inzwischen einfach filmreif aus – komplett eingezuckert und ein echter Blickfang. Die Fruit Bomb Punch bleibt trotz der ersten Schimmel-OP ein echtes Biest. Die riesigen Blüten schieben weiter nach vorne, das intensive Fruchtaroma macht ihrem Namen alle Ehre und sie wirkt, als würde eine saftige Frucht langsam ihre volle Reife erreichen. Jetzt muss sie nur noch gesund über die letzten Meter kommen. Die Strawberry AK spielt weiterhin ihre Stärken aus: kompakt, wunderschön aufgebaut und mit diesem herrlich würzigen Erdbeerduft, der sofort Lust auf die Ernte macht. Ein echter Klassiker im Zelt. Das Verrückte ist: Auf den ersten Blick könnten alle drei fast erntereif wirken. Unter der Lupe zeigt sich aber schnell, dass noch etwas Geduld gefragt ist. Genau jetzt wäre es schade, auf den letzten Metern ungeduldig zu werden. Die letzten Meter werden definitiv kein Spaziergang mehr. Jetzt heißt es, täglich kontrollieren, ruhig bleiben und die drei Ladies möglichst gesund über die Ziellinie bringen. Drückt die Daumen, dass die Wetterhexe endlich ein Einsehen hat. Am Ende entscheidet das Glas.🌱💚✌️

12 weeks / 84 days old today. So my first grow journey is coming to an end! Not a lot to report this week. Been using my jewellers loupe daily to keep an eye on the trichomes and can definitely see a big difference. (Sorry, pictures are crap - don’t have enough hands to get a good one!) Still watering with plain water but they’re taking a lot less and only been watered every 4 days or so. Sticky orange has lots of cloudy trichomes and starting to get a few Amber. Her leaves are drying off so she is getting harvested before the weekend. Purple skunk is a bit behind so I think I will wait and see how she goes for another week or so. I always thought she’d be the one to finish first too. I think I will be drying in the garage. We are consistently getting 18 degrees outside now but with the temperature drops at night, I am not sure whether to bring the buds inside overnight. I’ll be drying in a hanging ‘herb’ dryer and I have my curing jars all labelled and ready to go. Thinking of wet trimming roughly then going in for a final dry trim later once dry to neaten them up. Drying advice welcome! I did think I’d have to harvest in stages and chop the lower buds later on. But even the bottom buds look like they’ve caught up this week. I have honestly enjoyed every second of this grow and I’m almost disappointed it’s nearly finished. But at the same time, I can not wait to see (and taste) the final result!

8/17 Watered everything but the 50. Found two leaves with sep markings on the pink kish in the 50. Definitely not using old soil again. I'm pretty sure THIS plant contracted it from the soil and not the way the others did with the lawn mower and birdseed hijinx. It's supposed to rain for the first time basically all summer. It's am 80% chance so I HELD OFF ON PLANT DOCTOR AND DID NOT APPLY as I'm supposed to have a clear day after. I'll apply the plant doctor in the morning. I'm hoping this rain will knock down a bunch of those thrips. They seem to be on a small branch on a plant or two. One or two leaves show damage and I'll pick them off. I figure I'll get them after I apply plant doctor. I'll use either citric acid or just my regular bt-k pillar treatment with Castille or liquid soap. That will kill them as well. I'm on really worried about it. I also might just buy a bunch of lady bugs and unleash them once things get further along. EDIT: TOOK A QUICK VIDEO AND A COUPLE PICS. HOPEFULLY WE GET THIS RAIN. IF NOT IM GOING TO TREAT THE THRIPS THAT ARE ON TWO PLANTS NOW. I THINK IM GOING TO GO WITH BT-K FOR NY PILLARS AND HOPE THAT THE DISH SOAP IN THE MIX KILLS THE THRIPS. I HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS SO ILL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. BUDS SEEM TO BE EXPLODING IN GROWTH. OH AND THANKS TO THE OUTDOOR GROWER THAT MESSAGED OFFERING TO HELP. I APPRECIATE THAT. THANKS. 8/18 We got the rain we were expecting. It was sheet rain for a few hourscand rained during the night. Everything was drenched and it was cold (50°F). I shook off the special kush that's way further in flower. I decided to use the leafblowrr despite the risk of spreading anything. I did it so that it wasn't ever blowing TOWARDS another plant but still. I was hoping it might blast off some thrips that might have survived that torrential rain. We've never had a dry summer like this. I'll moniter things. My water day is tomorrow so I assume that's when the girls will get their plant doctor dose. It's a great time of year for cannabis growers. We get to watch all the hard work we've put in literally pay off. It's very peaceful in the garden. EDIT: Went over at about one to check things out and do some minor defoliation. I checked on the thrip situation and I dont know if I blasted them off with the leafblower or if the rain washed them away bit I doubt it. Ivecmade the decision to treat these little bastards. It's on one plant but it's started to spread to another branch on another plant. I probably just overlooked it but still. Seeing that it rained like he'll and I'm seeing like zero signs of septoria I'm going to treat everything. At least I think I am. I haven't decided what to use. I think I could just use bt and soap and I'd probably be alright. I'd feel better doing that as it's something I'm familiar with. Outdoor growing. It's always something. 8/19 In the 40's last night. Hopefully that will help with the thrips. I was hurried and since today tops at 72° I only watered the 10th planet big mk ultra and the chem dog with preventative plant doctor. I'm not seeing hardly any septoria and if I do itsca random leaf. I mixed up 3tsp of citric acid and some Dawn in a 2 quart hand sprayer and treated the 10th planet that I thought had heat stress and the Pink kush in the ten gal that has the damage. I also treated a branch on my good tenth planet. It was the only branch with markings so I think I've got it early enough. I'm just wondering the best way to tackle this. The pink kush I'm sure, could handle spinosad. That strain is much later flowering. I'll see how the citriccacid works and go from there. If the other girls need water they'll get it when I get home alongcwith plant doctor. I've got some work to do. I'll keep this updated. Opinions are always welcome.

Excellent progress so far. Grower exclaimed his enthusiasm for the progress made in only after a week of nutrient program. See Grower commentary in video.

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der siebten Blütewoche kommt der Kampfzwerg an die Ausreifung der Blüten. Sie zeigt ein schönes Blütenbild für ihr Größe. Die Buds werden doch nochmal dicker und sind richtig fest und Kompakt. Es entwickelt sich ein frisches, säuerliches Aroma. Es ist noch etwas Süße hinzugekommen. Wenn es ein Apfel sein soll dann geht es in die Richtung Granny Smith. Für die Wachstumsdauert und das bisherige Resultat allerdings muss ich mich schon fragen, ob dass die Mühe Wert ist. Schauen wir Mal wie das Geschmacksprofil sich nachher Kennzeichnet. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind richtig Hot und gerade top für die Endblüte. ————— 🌞 Temp: 27°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 49% VPD: 1,42 kPa 😎 PPfD: 830 mqm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

Easy harvest single plant super dense and honestly it couldn't have gone smoother. I am debating removing the popcorn bud or revegging it... either way the main tops were the biggest buds I've harvested yet covering my entire palm. I will be growing this in the future I won't log the grow however. This pheno I believe is one of a kind and I likely won't be as pleased with a second run. The sungro#4 I grew in was excellent too and honestly I am seeing the relation between quality and the medium being used. I will be using this medium for a while. Until the final dry weight is In, Happy Growing and Happy Toking! -TRAGIC OUT- Update water curing was the best end result and will be the way I cure all my flower.

Ok so getting a bit concerned. I'm trying to keep nutrients low, but am noticing spotting on some other leaves and some of the white pistils lower down are growing in brown instead of white. Spotting on at least one of the plants has gotten to the degree I've trimmed it a bit and the lower leaves look fine. Please let me know if you see an issue with any of the above pictures / advice. - Update: Ok looks like I have a bit of light burn and possibly some nutrient issues as well. Have been adding more cal mag. Trying to water a bit less than was as may not have been letting the coco dry out enough. And I have moved my LED lights as far up as is possible currently to try and see how it goes, not sure If I've mucked this up or will still get a decent harvest. Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome. Edited: 28/09/18 Got a nice mini led microscope to check out my affected leaves. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LAX52IQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Glad to report that I have not seen a single mite on any of my checks between 60 to 120 magnification. Even split open a stem where I had to remove a leaf earlier and had a look inside just to be sure. There are lots of little circle type globs on the leaves, but I take it this is trichomes and not eggs.

The original Purple Punch is a cross between Larry OG and Grandaddy Purple, illustrious and stable indica dominant THC-rich heavyweights! The total grow cycle from autoflower seed to harvest is a short 9 weeks. You will be rewarded with a large yield of sticky resinous buds, up to 600g/m2 indoors. If you’re looking to grow a high quality indica auto made with cannabis cup winning genetics you will love Auto Purple OG Punch. THC content is always up-to/around 20%. Auto Purple OG Punch effects are intense, euphoric and relaxed. She also contains around 1% CDB which contributes to the very smooth, chilled smoke. Expect a mouthwatering blend of sweet tasting candy, dark fruit and hints of spice. A real connoisseur cocktail with powerful effects! She normally reaches around 1m tall. But in optimized conditions with LED grow lights you can see occasional monster plants up to 2m tall with XXL yields. Auto Purple OG Punch is easy, potent and heavy yielding indoors. She also delivers well outdoors - such as the balcony or garden. Auto Purple OG Punch is a perfect, powerful strain for a quiet relaxed day. The calming indica body effect is very satisfying and de-stressing

Serious week of stacking and buds packing on weight 🤙 5 of the Glueberry are covered in crystals already and some have plenty of red hairs already... And it's only day 63 completed 😁 The other Glueberry and Mazar are defo 2 r 3 weeks behind the others, but their both Huge and absolutely stacking up 😎 Cause my grow space is now like an absolute jungle 🌱🌿🌱, other than feeding them, its very difficult to get good individual photos of them. I reckon there's 2 weeks left on the 5 Glueberry and another couple weeks after for the last gberry and Mazar, but only time will tell
