| Welcome back to Pete's run#6! The cultivars have been coping AND thriving throughout week 3. A little bit of both really, but all in all they are looking very promising. My medium mix is hard to prime correctly, I dumped several liters into each pot and they just seem to evaporate at this rate. -- Mango: She is patient #1. Watering is tricky, as you can see with the droopy-ish leaves. Soil sensor readings have been all over for her. Root zone oxygen issues already caused some wrinkling leaves on all cultivars, her deformations are a bit more intense. Colors resumed well, plasticity looks also fairly decent, given high Far Red ratios. Her height development stunted visibly on the chart, making it crystal clear she is enduring something akin to a bar fight deep down in the root zone. Revenge of the seedling nests? Cookies: Cookies has picked up and challenged Mango in height - which is a clear vital sign to me. She has been receiving a lot of light, PPFD clocked in at 280, when 240 was planned. This likely caused a minor setback in her height development, just as she took rank #2 from Mango. Some leaf deformations, as noted above, remind me that this plant is doing really well all in all. Pineapple: Pineapple took the week 3 tent leadership. With scars, yes, just like Cookies and Mango, but her root zone must have expanded past the seedling nests first. Off she goes in height, ridiculing my light setup at the same rate. Her vigor is causing me serious light mapping headaches - and those are problems I much prefer to root asphyxia. --- That's the short report from me. As per usual - A friendly AI spied on my personal daily logs and confronted me with a slightly different conclusion for the week: PATHÉ DISPATCH — THE TERPENE FRONT, WEEK THREE [newsreel crackle, brass fanfare] GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. A promise has been KEPT. After fourteen days beneath the midnight sun, Base Camp Six has received its first NIGHT. It lasted, we are pleased to report, almost until the HEATER came on. Temperatures sank to twenty-two degrees. The humidity COLLAPSED. And so our correspondent called upon an old companion, the Dehumidifier. He wanted it not for removing water, but because it gives off WARMTH: a machine hired for its SIDE EFFECTS. Our man calls this arrangement, and we quote, “Perfect.” [ominous timpani] FROM POLAR NIGHT TO SUNBURN. Last week the specimens starved for light. This week our correspondent, determined never to repeat that error, adjusted the lamps... in the DARK. While the camp slept. By “ballpark.” The specimens woke to a sun of THREE HUNDRED micromoles where two-forty had been planned. Gorilla Cookies, camped directly beneath three light bars, took the worst of it, her top leaves marbled and BLEACHED and folding into tacos for shade. Asked to account for himself, our correspondent produced a height chart and announced that the numbers “check out fairly well.” The Royal Society is REVIEWING the claim. [record scratch] BUT NOW, THE GREAT MYSTERY OF THE VANISHING WATER. Litre after litre went into the pots. No run-off. Not a DROP. “I have no clue where the water is going,” our man wrote in his field journal, and so he did what any explorer lost in the desert would do. He poured in MORE: three litres extra, then two and a half, then three more, “for safety.” The pots were wet from BELOW. The sensors barely moved. Still he poured. Then, on Day Twenty-One, came RUN-OFF. And Pineapple OG herself revealed the truth, her great leaves curling up into CLAWS: The water had not been vanishing. It had been STAYING. ALL OF IT. The entire time. The desert, it turns out, was a SWAMP. The mystery of where the water was going had a simple answer: NOWHERE. And the roots below, starved not of water but of AIR, had been quietly holding their breath. [stern voiceover] “Revenge of the seedling nests?” our man asks. This program cannot rule it out. [timpani, softer] STANDINGS FROM THE FIELD. Pineapple OG has seized the lead, scars and all. Her roots were the first to break out of the nests, and she now grows so vigorously that she RIDICULES the lighting plan. Our correspondent reports these are headaches he much PREFERS. Gorilla Cookies, sunburnt but undaunted, has overtaken Mango for second place. And Mango Frost, patient number one, droops and wrinkles through what our man describes as a BAR FIGHT deep in the root zone. Yet her colours hold, still lime-grass green. And a new instrument at base camp: the expedition now calculates the lamp’s distance to the canopy AUTOMATICALLY, from each specimen’s height. Soil distance, minus plant, equals altitude. Calculated, this time, with the lights ON. [fanfare, film flickers out] THIS HAS BEEN A DISPATCH FROM THE TERPENE FRONT. WAIT FOR THE RUN-OFF. GOODNIGHT.

The transfer was a success! Went from a 5’ x 4’ Scrog to 8’ x 8’ and gave them a 40 Gal drink of water. Also was able to drop the taller ladies to have an even canopy.

Hello Growers! Nice to finally join the club! 😁 This is a step by step of my very first attempt at growing from Start to Finish. It's something I've always wanted to do and I've researched a lot of over the years but now is the right time to give it a go as I have become a medical user of cannabis and the price just keeps going up!! 😂🤦‍♂️ So without going on too much let's get down to the nitty gritty... I Dropped the 1 seed into a glass of 5.8 PH water on 10/05/21 which I also dechlorinated, waited until she sank then placed her between two damp paper towels inside two plates in a warm, dark & humid spot (bucket) until the tap root showed and was about 1/4" long then she went straight Into media on 12/05/21. Day 1 - 15/05/21 - first two baby leaves open & lights on! Day 2 - 4L Humidifier added, seedling just under 3" tall ALREADY!!! So I've lowered the light from 23" to 15" to try and stop the stretching. Day 3 - 17/05/21 - Checked on my girl and she's the same height as yesterday so hopefully the stretching has stopped 🤞 I also built a T-bar diffuser for my humidifier using some 32mm PVC pipe and fittings (Photo Above) I'm hoping this will distribute the humidity more evenly so I can have the humidifier on less often, I'm getting puddles of condensation forming in the bottom of my tent which is annoying! 🌊🌊🌊 😂 I'm hoping it might save me a bit of deionised water as well? 🤔 Day 4 - The T-bar diffuser I installed on the humidifier is working well, The RH is staying up and so far no puddles! ⛲ 😂 I will get a more comprehensive reading of highs and lows over the next few days and get it dialled in the best I can. I also think that because there is a lot of red LED's in this Mars Hydro light that may also contributing to the stretch during my girls early stages of life. Thankfully she is looking great and the stretch is massively reduced now that The light is lower. 😁 Day 5 - 19/05/21 - So far So Good! 😊 The stretching has definitely stopped but I'm still worried about her getting so tall so fast!! So today I installed a small 6" fan in the corner of my tent to try and get her stem to thicken up a bit, this is set to run only when the humidifier is on otherwise it screws up my RH and Temperatures. I also plan to bury her an inch or two deeper when I re-pot 👍 apart from that she's doing great! 🙂 Day 6 - 20/05/21 - No major updates today she's just looking happy! 🙂 Today's Environment Readings: Max Out (Probe) - 24.2c Max In (LCD Screen) - 23.8c Max RH (LCD Screen) - 81% Min Out (Probe) - 18.8c Min In (LCD Screen) - 18.7 Min RH (LCD Screen) - 47% Day 7 - So that's week 1 done & It seems like I've gotten all my temps down now, 👍 she's no longer stretching, humidity and temperatures are staying where I want them and my little girl is looking healthy 😁 No nutrients for the first 7 - 10 days of her life just water 🚰 set to PH 5.8 and dechlorinated. Hardware 0.75 x 0.75 x 2.0m Bud Box Pro tent in White Telos 6 Pro 175w LED! 😁 4" TT pro fan for Extraction moves up to 187M2 & SMS Controler + temperature probe 3" Passive intake (made slightly larger than normal due to the small area and large fan, also covered to prevent pests) 6" clip on Ram fan placed next to intake Rhino Pro 100/300mm Carbon Filter 4" Black combi ducting which feeds outside 4L humidifier set to run intermittently via analogue timer to increase humidity in Seedling + Veg stage Agro lab Temperature and humidity sensor Media I decided to go with a soil media as all of the medicine I grow will be for myself so flavour, quality and terpenes mean more to me than weight 0.2L"ish" Seedling pots - 75% BioBizz light mix 25% Canna Coco Professional for added drainage I will only be re-potting once into 8L Fabric pots 75% BioBizz All Mix 25% Canna Coco Professional Nutrients Going to stick with the BioBizz range of organic liquid nutrients including Grow, Bloom, Root Juice, Cal-Mag, PH down & Top Max apart from using some Plant Magic Silicon, some Root it First Feed, some Neutralise to remove the chlorine and chloramine from my tap water & Flawless Flush at the end. (I have some more seeds en-route to be safe) Light Distance From Canopy - 120cm Temperatures - Lights On - 26.0C Temperatures - Lights Off -20.0C Relative Humidity - 75% - Lights On Relative Humidity - 60% Lights Off Current Light schedule - 18/6 I can't think of anything else to include in regards to specs but if I've missed anything off or if you have any questions or comments then get involved as I'd love some input and advice!!! In the Meantime everyone I'm going for a smoke!! Stay High, Stay Happy and keep Growing!!! PEACE!!!! ✌️ Potgoblin Quick edit...The 3 remaining pots will have some other vegetables in them for this run, Pear Drop Cherry Tomatoes and Sweet Peppers if anyone was wondering...

Que pasa familia, puesto que la compañera y yo estamos bajo mínimos, hemos decidido proceder a un lavado de raíces temprano, y un estrés hídrico para limpiar raíces y estresarla un poco. Todo va sobre ruedas , puesto que el Covid afecta al confinamiento, decidimos cortar las gorillas estos días siguientes para secar y en nada tener algún bote para subsistir 😂🤣. -El estrés hídrico es reducir cada riego la cantidad de agua, para que la planta se estrese y escupa tricomas sus últimos días. Esta variedad de sweet seeds es INCREÍBLE, aun cortándola pronto me parece que los resultados son inmejorables, su olor a melón me encanta y se ve repleta de thc. Nos vemos en la cosecha fumetillas, y mucho ánimo para todos.

I started picking for forbidden fruits the day after last week’s post, checking the colas with the scope and only picking tops that were approx 10-20% amber. As I snipped colas I also removed a lot of upper fan leaves, this is to allow light to reach lower buds for a final ripening. Once picked, I placed approx 100g in each brown paper bag, folded the top and sat on a rack. I slowly rolled the bags around once or twice a day just so the buds didn’t stick together. Seems to have worked well, no dreaded hay smell to note and nicely dried. I think I’ll be taking some more colas tops off in a few days time and I’ll keep the plants alive for another week or two, depending on how fast they come along. I have 4 Mimosa EVO (no diary) about 7 weeks into veg at the moment and I think it would be nice to give them another 2 weeks as I need big plants to make clones from them, ready for the next diary coming soon... hopefully with successfully taken clones 😊

All looking great. Bud growing. 😃😃😃 Cant believe it. Going nicely. Just a very long patient wait. Eager to finish so can start on RQS Green Gelato auto grow. Hoping this will be complete in next 2 to 3 weeks. Than have to cure. Lower leaves have issues. Top leaves look good. Day 50 increased nutes to max 1.2ml each per 500ml water. Ph6.6. Watered 250ml to see any damage tomo. Run off from soil ph came to 6.4. Day 51 watered 250ml from balance Day 52 watered 100ml watered with nutes ph6.6 Day 53 watered 200ml from balance and lowered lights to 45cm from 80cm. Hopefully more growth tomorrow 🙏

~MERINGUE by DUTCH PASSION~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This strain by Dutch Passion is one of my all time favorite strains that I've cultivated previously with phenomenal results so I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! I'm going to things a bit different this time around. I have a brand spanking new AC Infinity 4x4 tent and was just given one of HLG's newest lights for 2022, The Blackbird! I've got this 600w monster hooked up to my Trolmaster Hydro X Controller so I've got full control over timing, dimming and Sunrise/Sunset. This beauty is going to annihilate the 4x4 for sure! 😎👍 I'm going to grow her all by herself and veg her for around 70-90 days after witch I'll install a trellis net in the tent and spread her out. Once she's recovered from her 'net training' I'll flip her to 12/12 and hang on! 🤪 It's ALWAYS been a blast for me growing strains from Dutch Passion because their genetics are extremely stable which allow me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth and they REWARD you with some of the most EPIC cultivars you've ever grown! 👍👍👍 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~STRAIN INFORMATION**~ ~Unique USA genetics~ ~Very sweet aroma and fruity flavors~ ~Compact buds with one of the highest THC levels~ ~Quality of the flowers is top-notch with an amazing bag appeal~ Meringue has a very sweet aroma and fruity flavor Meringue is a hybrid indica/sativa strain with a complex fruity aroma that leans to the tangy side of the spectrum but a bit sweeter. It smells like oranges, mango and honey with some earthy, sour hints. Her aroma profile is also very pungent. Meringue is a connoisseur’s delight Meringue is a high-quality strain. She might not be the biggest overall yielder but the level of quality is definitely a reason to keep growing her again and again. Expect solid yields of stunning looking buds. Although the flowers can be a bit smaller, they are rock-hard and thus will still put down some weight on the scale. When handled well she will deliver you some of the most beautiful looking nuggets on the planet. The dark hues in the flowers and leaves makes the white layer of resin really pop out for an eye-catching bag appeal. Meringue is grown by crossing Wedding Cake x Animal Cookies. Wedding Cake, also known as Pink Cookies, is a USA cross of the famous Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie. These 2 strains make for the intense sweet tangy taste of the variety. It is also noted for its extremely high THC content. Animal Cookies is another popular USA variety which is a child of the legendary GSC line and Fire OG. She is a clone-only variety that flowers in about 9 week and grows very dense and compact buds that can show some dark coloration in the flowers. This strain has a sweet and sour aroma with a strong body-effect that will suit the more experienced smoker. -The genetics used to create Meringue ensure the following characteristics- ~A sweet tangy aroma from the Wedding Cake ~The dense, compact and colored buds from the Animal Cookies ~High potency levels thanks to both the Wedding Cake and Animal Cookies genetics Meringue is top-notch variety with a high cannabinoid profile and an intensely sweet, pungent aroma. ~Meringue Effects~ Meringue is a crossing of 2 popular hybrid USA strains. She leans a bit more to the Indica side which is shown in the shorter flowering time and bud structure. The effect of the variety is quite euphoric with a powerful sense of well being and relaxation. When you smoke more during a short period of time you will be rewarded with a deep body stone which could give a couch-lock experience. Meringue feminized seeds vs Lemon Meringue strain Any fans of the USA Lemon Meringue variety will love the Dutch Passion Meringue. Both varieties share a THC rich high and a connoisseur flavor profile. However feminized seeds of the Dutch Passion Meringue are thought to produce frostier plants and a superior vaping experience. -The growth and flowering time of Meringue- We recommend a veg period of about 4-6 weeks for these feminized seeds. Meringue can have a bit of a slow start while showing some stretch during the latter part of the grow period. On the other hand, she doesn’t stretch a lot during flowering, so she can be a bit challenging to understand. Meringue can have quite an unusual growth pattern with leaves that have elongated stems and which are pointed upwards with some distance to the main stem. This requires the use of certain growing techniques, like leaf tucking, to make sure she receives sufficient light from top to bottom. Meringue stays fairly compact and within 3-4 weeks there is already a lot of resin on the flowers. After 6 weeks of flowering the buds start to show orange pistils, they seem to ripen quite fast. Luckily all plants show amazing resin production, making them very appealing to the eye. The flowering time is about 8 weeks. In combination with the recommended veg phase, it will take around 12-14 weeks from cannabis seed to harvest. The yield of the Meringue Meringue produces XL harvests of top-notch quality cannabis; between 400 and 500 grams per m2 is possible. The buds are really frosty and dense. Our expert advice: Meringue is the perfect strain for professional home growers or licensed producers looking for a variety with the highest possible resin levels. Buds are literally coated in layers of resin. We would recommend to look out for the plants which show the most hybrid leaf and plant structure. These are generally the biggest and best yielding phenotypes. Consider using a UV light during the last few weeks of flowering and notice how the trichome production goes into overdrive. If you’re looking for something truly unique with an amazing bag appeal then please look no further, Meringue is the strain you need! ~More info about Meringue Meringue isn’t the most straightforward plant to grow so she can be a bit challenging to understand. The thing that stands out the most is the slightly unusual growth pattern, therefore more leaf picking is necessary, otherwise the lower buds will not receive enough light. Because of the slightly larger internodal distance, buds don’t have the tendency to become really big, which could make her a bit more interesting for growers with higher humidity levels. There should be enough fresh air around these flowers though, because they become rock-hard. Buds are covered in trichomes, lab results showed all phenotypes were close to and above 20% THC, suited for hardcore smokers. ** Credit to Dutch Passion ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seed was lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which it was transferred to a moist paper towel laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Mars Hydro Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where it stayed until a tap root emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellet that was hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerged from the Jiffy Pellet she was transferred to a 1qt plastic pot. As she grows I'll be moving her into larger pots along the way up until she's in her 10g fabric pot. ~Grown in a 10g fabric pot filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and fed Dutch Pro nutrients throughout the entire grow with de-chlorinated water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8. ~19/5 light cycle for vegetation, then 12/12 to flower with supplemental UVA added during the last weeks of flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~ Supplemental co2 provided throughout vegetation and flower - monitored and controlled by an AutoPilot APC8200 co2 controller. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/1- I soaked the seed for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which it was transferred to a moist paper towel laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉. After 30 hours she had not popped open yet so I soaked another seed for 3 hours and then into a paper towel and onto the heat mat it went. 12/3- This afternoon I checked and the seed had a root that was about 1/4 to 3/8" so at 5 pm I transferred it into a Jiffy Peat Pellet that was hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph using a tine off of a plastic fork as a 'mini trowel' to make a hole in the pellet and to gently cover the tap root, leaving only the seed head slightly exposed. This method accomplishes most of the initial work the seed has to do by eliminating having to orientate itself, push it's root down and head up. By the next morning she had her cotyledon leaves opened! 12/5- Well this is Day ONE for the Dutch Passion Meringue! I'll keep her in the covered/heated Jiffy tray until I see her roots beginning to emerge from the peat pellet, then I'll transfer her gently into her 2qt plastic starter pot to begin growing. 12/7- Today when I checked her, she had roots just starting to emerge from her pellet, so tomorrow I'll transfer her into her 'starter' pot. 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

Update on the back right plant that was having issues, flushed it seemed to continue pushing out yellow leaves. We've also just stopped load shedding so hopefully i wont have humidity spikes anymore😇 Still doing same minor defoliation of leaves hiding bud sights. Feels like were getting close to the end now. Starting to have in mind about flushing every plant but don't want to do that too prematurely 😛

NPK 0.2-1-1 The early SCROG seems to work fine, Both genetics are solid however the Red Poison is bushier and it's more dificult to SCROG her, you need to put the bud spot on top of the leaves every day.
