Another good week in the books down in the tent. Carl 1 and UKBS 1 are both developing some nice buds, Carl 1 with the bigger buds of the two. Carl 1 had to have a few more buds tied up today, as they overweighted what the stems could handle and started sagging like crazy, creating a lot of empty space in the canopy. Timelapse for the week is out, of course. Updates as they come; per usual. 6/11/2021 - Got a video of how the stem's degenerated, it's mainly on that one side. Somehow an entire branch snapped off of UKBS 2, upon further inspection I noticed it was barely attached to the stem at all and did not attempt to re-attach it. Additionally, some of the clones are doing alright and others are shriveling and dying. Not sure what the inconsistency is caused by. It may be the medium; being soil, stays wet for too long. I can't really think of any other reason. I'm misting them, the humidity stays high now that I have a dome for them, they've been dipped in stim-root and supplied mycorrhizae. Will be submitting a grow question as I'm completely new to the whole cloning concept. Also today: more bud shots using the fancy EOS T5 Rebel. Stay tuned! [Out now] 6/11/2021 - The branch drop seems to not have affected UKBS 2 much at all, something which continues to confuse the hell out of me. I may have to get a PVC greenhouse or something to flower the outdoor plants in, as they're giant and I don't know how they'll stand up to the high winds in the area.

Plant two is doing a little better color wise. Something is going on with the leaves of plant one mostly. Maybe it is because i was using overflow water straight from the air conditioning unit instead of the tap? I'm having to pull a lot of dead leaves off

Got some problems but i thinks its not so bad

Two very resistant phenos. It was my first go with rockwool. Definitely going to use it again.

17 November 2020 Do-Si-Wine This lady is absolutely covering herself in THCA, the leaves and stems are covered in THCA and looks really fluffy / frosty ❄️ Did some defoliation as-well on this lady and looks absolutely staggering. Starting to show really nice shape to the buds. Sunset Sherbet Has started to make really nice heads and smells absolutely dank😍 Done a bit of defoliation to the to top part to expose more light to the other heads. Having this second light will really help boost the yield and make the plant a lot more healthier.

12.03.2024 – Ein Desaster mit Hoffnung Wo fange ich an, wo höre ich auf…? In diesem Zeitraum bin ich umgezogen und musste mir überlegen, wie ich das Ganze manage, damit die Ernte am Ende optimal wird – was sie leider nicht wurde.😅 Die Pflanze war genau in der Zeit fertig, als ich mit meinem Umzug beschäftigt war und in den Urlaub geflogen bin. Also entschied ich mich dazu, sie vor meiner Abreise zu köpfen und aufzuhängen. Eigentlich wollte ich die gesamte Ernte wieder in DryFerms trocknen lassen, doch da ich mein Zeitmanagement dieses Mal überhaupt nicht im Griff hatte, wurde alles ziemlich kurzfristig. Die Buds mussten ja auch vorher noch getrimmt werden. Also ließ ich das bleiben und hängte sie einfach auf. In meiner neuen Wohnung stellte ich schon mal ein Hygrometer auf, um die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit zu checken – 42 %. Schon ziemlich trocken, aber ich dachte mir nichts weiter dabei. Wird schon irgendwie klappen... Dann flog ich in den Urlaub. Fünf Tage später war ich zurück. Die Ernte hing bereits einen Tag vor meiner Abreise. Als ich mein Zelt öffnete, sah ich das Desaster kommen: Das Hygrometer zeigte eine RLF von nur 32 % an. Die Buds waren staubtrocken. Die ganze Arbeit – für nichts. Besonders ärgerlich, denn von allen drei Pflanzen war diese die vielversprechendste, sowohl was die Terpene als auch den Ertrag betrifft. Ich war kurz davor, alles wegzuschmeißen, weil ich mir das Elend nicht mehr anschauen konnte. Schlussendlich entschied ich mich aber doch dazu, die Ernte so gut es ging zu trimmen. Ein Desaster, das kann ich euch sagen! Die Hälfte aller Buds löste sich in Staub auf – kaum setzte ich die Schere an, zerfielen sie. Am Ende blieben mir doch noch 32 g, allerdings extrem empfindlich. Curing? Keine Chance. Trotzdem wollte ich das Beste herausholen. Also packte ich die Ernte mit zwei Bovedas für sechs Tage in ein Glas – und siehe da: Die Buds nahmen die Feuchtigkeit auf, die sie brauchten! Am Ende hatte ich zumindest halbwegs vernünftiges Material. Jetzt lagert alles in Grove Bags mit einem Boveda und wird genau beobachtet. Ich hoffe, dass daraus noch gutes, rauchbares Material wird! Eins ist sicher: Die Dosidos Auto wird auf jeden Fall noch mal gegrowt – und dann richtig ✊!

Day 57. Nutes increased for more growth hopefully. Day 58 notice alot what looks like thc from leaves and hairs. Day 59 to 63 see more orange hairs and trychomes. See videos Average 200ml water everyday.

Day 64 - Starting week 10 and looking like this will be the last week for this girl. Gonna let her dry up and may do a partial harvest in the middle of the week and let some of the smaller buds build up before chopping the rest over the weekend. Not sure yet though. Day 65 Harvest Day - This girl turned 50/50, cloudy to amber overnight and most leaves are consumed with cal-mag deficiency so decided to do a chop and save what I can. Looks like it’s still gonna be a decent harvest. Chopped her down tonight and started trimming but will finish tomorrow and get a total wet weight. Even most of the tiny nugs at the bottom are pretty dense.

Back to the 1000 wt as temps here are modest for July atm. Still 1 plant not flowering like the other 2. I will be patient as it’s overall structure looks amazing. Slowly easing into the process not as much anxiety about every little thing. Changed my light out for my lower power 600 wt led instead of the 1000wt TMLAPY. Maybe not the right move i really don't know what to do b/c i have tip burn and my tent gets a bit hot in the low 80s when its in the 90s here in Illinois. I have an makeshift cooler w fan and some fans and my exhaust fan system which im pretty sure is under powered and overall and bad beginner purchase. I will upgrade as soon as i can financially afford to. Also had flooding issues in basement which is always an adventure, i eventually need a better way to get my grow tent up off the ground b/c water does get in there sometimes. Doing everything in my power to avoid mold and have fans and filters and cleaning, but again this may have been a beginner mistake and i may have to find a new home for the tent for the next time. Also I definitely had been under watering the girls and came close to one of them dying and have to remove some yellow leaves at bottom, they all look stable now. 1 out of 3 plants has a darker color and looks fuller and healthier w less tip burn but it is shorter only has a couple of hairs where the other 2 are going full on into flowering with so many hairs and growing much taller. Possibly stunted the growth... Anyway the word of the day for this week is TIP BURN. I will submit a question to follow. i recently uploaded a video that should show all 3 plants w the tip burn.

All looking happy, photos taken day 33 of flower. Never got around to defoliating this week, been locked in trim jail I take the photos with the lights dimmed right down, not sure how some of you get such good photos.. Happy growing ✌️

Well we are in week 7 and this girl is just now starting to fill in on her node sites. She is sucking the pH out of the water. I have been gradually lowering the ppm from around 1100... Right now the ppm is around 750 and the next top up I will be putting it down to 550. She is a 10 weeker so we have probably another 4 weeks to go but I'm around for it.

Final phase, just water and environment control. A lot of damaged, stained and discoloured leaves. Not sure if related to the fert switching. All in all, they are looking good. Harvest week incoming.

Dumb website won't let me update anymore. Keeps saying I can't duplicate a number. This is week 6 not week 8 and it won't let me change it. Won't be updating anymore if it's gonna be buggy like this.

Still have 4 clones just flipped to flowering in my main box, so stay tuned. Will see how they'll show up in more spacious tent.

Día 22 de Vegetación (día 27 desde la germinación) Estoy contento con el progreso de mis plantas. Las riego con fertilizantes de BAC, micorizas de Great White y CalMag de Biobizz para estabilizar el agua de osmosis inversa. También he elevado las macetas para evitar que las plantas se espigen. Día 26 de Vegetación (día 31 desde la germinación) Las plantas han crecido de forma significativa en estos 4 días. La planta ya está desarrollando flores, lo que indica que estamos en la etapa de prefloración. La próxima semana, cambiaremos de alimentación para adaptarnos a la etapa más difícil, la floración. Día 27 de Vegetación Claramente nuestas Tropicanna Poision XL AUTO de Sweet Seeds estan ya preparando la floración. El olor ya es mas intenso.

Surprised by how well the water is wicked to the medium from the water bottle, it took a long time, but wick works as intended. I was unsure how much if any nutrient would be transferred via wick but the high salt content altered pH at certain parts. Right before the symptoms arose I decided to supercrop the stem top to bottom on one plant, shortly thereafter the burning happened from the same plant from running 8.0 pH, and nutrient uptake ground to a halt on the plant that was dealing with stress. She doesn't seem happy. Remedied with aluminum sulfate, things seem to be coming back to normal. I need to be more careful with salts. I need MOAR knowledge. How many weeks shall we veg? Going to take a while to fill that canopy with just two plants, should probably start topping now but I'll wait until pH problem Is remedied first, a couple more days hopefully 🙏. I defoliated maybe 6 bigger leaves that had burned yellow on one plant, as it comes back to optimal range, this will be a good opportunity to observe the subtle differences that early defoliation can make. Added a pound of tourmaline powder and biochar, both increase soil urease and invertase activities. *2025 Didn't charge the biochar skewing my ph drastically. Urease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into CO2 and NH3 and is a key component in the nitrogen cycle in soils. Invertase (d-fructofuranosidfructohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.26) is the enzyme that capable both break down α-1,4-glycosidic linkage between d-glucose and d-fructose of sucrose and transferring αβ-D-O-fructofuranoside residue to an acceptor substrate (Toledo et al., 2019). Since tourmaline is widely distributed in the natural environment and has many excellent physical and chemical properties including radiating far infrared energy, permanently releasing negative ions, producing an electrostatic field, releasing rare microelements, and stimulating the growth and metabolism of microorganisms and plants, tourmaline had been conducted to alleviate potential environmental pollution. Perfect for how much seaweed I've added just incase.

Hallo Freunde 👋 die Reise ist nach 72 Tagen zu Ende! Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht und es ist eine sehr schön gewachsene Pflanze mit Statue entstanden! Danke an Patricia und Zamnesia Seeds!✌️🍀💚🍀 Shiva ist für Zamnesia only! Also werden wir schauen was als nächstes schönes kommt! Growers Love keep Green and grow High ✌️🍀💚🍀

Week 4! We've had some really strong wind and sun here, which I now know is a good thing lol. I love this stage because she's basically in kaleidoscope mode with the leaves. Still no sign of preflowering, but I believe I detect a faint citrusy scent. I was spoiled by starting with Pineapple Expresses, which smell absolutely amazing and then got bamboozled by a Zkittlez that is just so very dank. So I'm happy this one seems to be living up to its name and smells a bit orange-y. I don't know how to add biotabs to the nutrients section on here because it's set up for liquid nutrients I think, but I added two BAC biotabs (https://www.dutch-headshop.eu/bio-tablets-soil-improver-bac-12-pieces) to the soil at 13 days from seed and won't be adding anything else than watering some Bud Candy once she starts to flower. Otherwise, I'm watering the cloth pot when it feels light.
