The flowering started! I'm very excited to see those first little white "hairs" in my plants. Everything is going well, the stems are getting thicker and flowers are groing very fast. I'll keep you all updated with this, send me good vibes!

Still hot af in germany but we’re only watering her any 3-4 days. Over night she stands in the greenhouse, if there is a chance of rain we also put her inside the greenhouse.

In dieser Woche wurden die Ladies einmal entlaubt und normal gegossen! Klimabedingungen sind gut, (Ich habe den Abstand etwas vergrößert auf 40 cm und fahre jetzt bei 100% um den korrekten ppfd wert zu haben und etwas mehr Wärme rein zu geben ) und die Blütebildung ist in vollem Gange …. Das Wachstum war diese Woche sehr gering…1-2 cm! Diese Woche gibt es das letzte mal Enzyme und der EC Wert steigt auf ca. 2.1 . 1 Pflanze (die kleinere) hat deutlich zugenommen und hat jetzt die gleiche Größe, die Blütenbildung ist jedoch leicht versetzt, so ca. 1 Woche zurück ! Tage der Keimungsphase = 5 Tage. Tage in Wachstum = 21 Tage Tage in der Blüte= 28 Tage Gesamtzeit= 54 Tage Wachstum h = ca. 2 cm 2 mal in dieser Woche mit Purolyt Mischung 1:25 besprüht Lichtstärke: 100 % PPFD: ca. 720 umol Lichtabstand: 40 cm Std Tag/Nacht: 18/12 Temperatur Tag: ca. 25,0 Grad RLF Tag: 60% Temperatur Nacht: 21 Grad RLF Nacht: ca. 60 % VPD Wert: ca. 0,9 PH Wert Wasser/Düngelösung: 5,8 EC Wert: 2,1 Ventilator Oszillation: Stufe 1 Befeuchter: an Entfeuchter: an Zusätzlicher Entfeuchter: 1 Stk. außerhalb vom Zelt im Raum Bewässerung: 6* bewässert mit Wasser/Dünger mit den o.g.

Not much happen during this week. Plants look healthy and on a good track. They drink roughly 2l a day

*english version below* Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo die Pflanzen offiziell beschlossen haben, dass Photosynthese ihr Vollzeitjob ist – und wo der Wissenschaftler (also ich) mit Kabelbindern, Big Bud und einem neuen Spielzeug bewaffnet durchs Unterholz kriecht. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Statusbericht – Die Damen gehen ins Blühen über Blütewoche 2 ist nahezu abgeschlossen und das Labor bestätigt: Bud Blood hat seinen Dienst getan. Überall zeigen sich kleine Blütencluster, wie winzige Supernovae aus weißen Stempeln. Ich habe zu Beginn der Woche leicht entlaubt – aber die SLH hat das bereits wieder vollständig verschluckt. Wirklich, die wächst schneller zu als ein Reddit-Thread über Hydroponik eskaliert. 🌿 Großer Friseurbesuch angekündigt Für Ende der kommenden Woche steht das an, was ich nur “Operation Kahlschlag” nenne: Extremes Lollipoppen unter dem ersten Netz Entlauben zwischen den beiden Netzen Canopy-Optimierung oben (alles, was kein Licht sieht → weg) Luftzirkulation erhöhen Energie nur noch in Blüten, nicht in Laub Wie ein botanischer Beauty-Salon – nur mit mehr Schere und weniger Smalltalk. ⚙️ Systemparameter – Die Laborwerte EC: stabil bei 1.5 pH: 5.8–6.0 Nährlösung: 19°C konstant (Wasserchiller küsst perfekt) Raumtemperatur: 25°C RLF: 58–60% (glücklicher VPD-Bereich für Stretch-Ende) Dünger: Bud Blood abgeschlossen seit heute Big Bud im Tank Entlaubung: leicht, Hauptschnitt folgt Under-canopy-flow: hervorragend, Struktur steht massiv und offen Alles in allem: Wachstum, Farbe, Stretch und Blütenbildung → absolut on point. Neues Spielzeug im Labor Ja – es ist passiert: Ich habe mir ein Bud-Mikroskop gegönnt. Ab jetzt heißt es: „Keine Trichome entkommen der Analyse.“ Die nächsten Wochen werden also sehr detailliert. 🌸 Optische Beobachtung – Blütenstand Woche 2 Weiße, lange, typische SLH-Stempel Aroma beginnt minimal (Zitronen-Note blitzt auf) Budsites gleichmäßig über das gesamte Netz verteilt Stretch geht langsam Richtung Ende Zweites Netz arbeitet perfekt als Stabilisator 🔍 Labor-Notiz der Woche „Die Pflanzen wachsen wie von einem Koffeinrausch getrieben. Die Blüten zeigen sich zuverlässig, die Vitalität ist hervorragend, und mein Wasserchiller hat vermutlich weniger Stress als ich.“ 🔮 Was kommt in Woche 3? Der große Defoliation-Run EC stabil weiterfahren Big Bud hochskalieren Lichtintensität leicht erhöhen Unterseite sauber halten Videos & Mikroskop-Shots für die Community Beginn des massiven Bud-Formings Die Bühne ist bereitet – jetzt wird es spannend. ------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome back to the HydroLab, where plants have officially accepted photosynthesis as their full-time occupation — and where the scientist (me) crawls around with zip ties, Big Bud, and a brand-new toy. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Status Report – The Ladies Are Entering Bloom for Real Flower Week 2 is almost done, and the lab confirms: Bud Blood has done its job beautifully. Tiny white explosions of pistils are popping up everywhere. I did a light defoliation earlier this week — but the SLH swallowed that effort instantly. Seriously, this strain grows back faster than a comment section on a hydroponics forum. 🌿 A Major Haircut Incoming By the end of next week, we begin what I call “Operation Full Cleanup”: Extreme lollipopping under the first net Heavy cleanup between the two nets Canopy thinning on top (anything that doesn’t get light → gone) Improve airflow Redirect all energy into bud production Think of it as a botanical beauty salon — just with more scissors and less small talk. ⚙️ System Parameters – Lab Values EC: steady at 1.5 pH: 5.8–6.0 Solution temperature: 19°C (chiller doing god’s work) Room temp: 25°C Humidity: 58–60% (great VPD for end-of-stretch) Nutrients: Bud Blood finished Big Bud started today Defoliation: light — main session coming up Under-canopy structure: wide open, strong, and well-ventilated Overall: Growth, color, stretch, and bud formation → absolutely on point. New Gadget in the Lab Yes… it happened: I bought myself a bud microscope. From now on: No trichome shall escape analysis. Expect extremely detailed updates in the coming weeks. 🌸 Visual Observation – Flower Formation Week 2 Long white SLH pistils everywhere First hints of lemon aroma Budsites evenly spread across the entire net Stretch slowing down Second net working perfectly as a support frame 🔍 Lab Note of the Week “The plants are growing like they’ve had three espressos. Buds are forming nicely, vigor is excellent, and my water chiller is probably under less stress than I am.” 🔮 Coming Up in Week 3 The big defoliation session Continue running EC 1.5 Scale up Big Bud Slightly increase light intensity Keep the lower zone clean Microscope shots + canopy videos Bud formation ramping up The stage is set — things are about to get exciting.

Plain sailing this week , just water for the Sweet n Sour and the Blackberry Gum, the Cheesy auto just had one last feed of Iguana Juice and PK booster BAC . Few more days and the SNS and BG should be done.

We are 1 week in and the second set of true leaves are beginning to grow, both are doing great and moving full steam ahead. Still watering about 20-30 mL of 200ppm CalMag RO water once daily and misting a couple times throughout the light cycle seems to be working great.

right in 2nd week of flower and they have lost their smell? prob because it is so dry and they have started flowering. I gave them bloom amendments last week. lets see if they are in a better place next time i see them. These were clones from a grow buddy but it looks like the pheno was not really deserving of cloning. hope it smokes well.

The tops of the colas are recovering well from being burnt. One is probably going to foxtail. The others are kind of growing around the burnt parts. I don't think any more damage has happened since that first time.

The Harvest Prelude: After a patient wait and 48 hours of darkness, the moment arrived. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja, standing proudly like a silent guardian, was ready for the grand harvest. The sound of each cut echoed through the grow space, reminiscent of felling a mighty tree. The compact structure of the buds was awe-inspiring, a testament to the ninja's disciplined growth. The Lego Ninja, like a stoic warrior, was then hung upside down, beginning a two-week drying ritual. Maintaining an ambient temperature of around 21°C and a relative humidity of 60%, this slow-drying process allowed the buds to retain their essence, preserving the symphony of terpenes and cannabinoids. The trimming phase unfolded like a fragrant masterpiece. Each bud, adorned with a glistening layer of resin, transformed the trimming process into a sensory delight. The zesty aroma of oranges enveloped the room, a tangible expression of the tropical lineage. The compact buds made every snip a careful dance, revealing an abundance of frosty trichomes. The moment of reckoning arrived with the scale's unveiling. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja, from a single plant, bestowed upon me 309 grams of dried medicine. Each gram was a treasure trove of cannabinoids, a promise of euphoria and relief. The sheer compactness of the buds translated into a concentrated potency that left me in awe. In parallel, the clones, nurtured with equal care, showcased a fascinating divergence. A twist in the tale unfolded as the intense oranges of the mother transitioned into vibrant tangerines. This unique expression, I believe, was a testament to the clones weathering a summer heatwave differently, bringing forth a distinct personality. The clones, resilient and generous, gifted me a bountiful 549 grams of pure joy. This now my keeper of the garden, an embodiment of the Lego Ninja's legacy. The harvest dance, though familiar, carried the nuances of tangerine zest, a refreshing twist that left me eager to explore its intricacies. Both harvests shared a common thread—their resinous abundance. The trim bin, akin to a treasure chest, gleamed with golden trichomes and fragrant joy. Sticky fingers became a badge of honor, a tangible connection to the resinous richness that filled the room. Shout Outs: No harvest report is complete without expressions of gratitude. A special nod to @DutchPassion_Official for crafting the genetic marvel that is the Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja. Their expertise paved the way for this epic journey, and I tip my hat in acknowledgment. In conclusion: As the dust settles on this epic harvest saga, my heart brims with happiness and excitement. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja has proven itself not just as a plant but as a living masterpiece. Stay tuned for the smoke report, where we delve into the true essence of this botanical ninja's legacy. Until then, fellow cultivators, may your gardens flourish, and your harvests be as bountiful as the joy they bring.

My tiny potter is doing pretty good. It is a hard grow with the plant this size. The window for ph error is very small since it dries the potter out in a few hours. It is very root bound, and drainage is very slow. I been feeding 2 to 3 times a day if I get the chance. I got a little nute burn when I increased nutrition a little too early. The twin tops might of gotten too close to the light as it stretched. Regardless it's looking pretty good for a tiny potter. She is bulking now, still under the Mars Hydro FC4800 light. nothing much else to report. Thank you Mars Hydro. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

1/25 Week 11 Ripley : Flushing begins with a five gallon flush to move the runoff to under 200ppm and defoliated by pulling almost every leaf on a stem, and god what a bunch there were. This opens the plant and removes those sources of nuets. Going to doing this as quickly as we may so will be monitoring runoff as we go. Tara: Slight Defoliation just trying to keep these leafy SOBs open. Back on Heavy dose of CocoTek and placed in best light I can we just watching the bud growth for how to help this big girl. Will not pick up Peak again until ready to withdraw the CT. Better pics when I can 1/26 Ripley : Second day of flush just keep running water through it till runoff gets low no longer PHing the water, nothing much left in there anyway. Fading really showing now Tara -Zilla : She likes the nuet and light change buds really building now Not getting any taller 1/27 New pics of Ripley she is getting so damn frosty in flush Tara building buds very quickly 1/28 Continuing flush on Ripley, she will be harvested in two days, its fast but we need the space. Tara no changes except more buds 1/30 Ripley removed from tent for harvest. Opened up Tara's binds. Tara now the Queen of all she surveys... All hail Queen Tara The Beast ! 😜 *****RIPLEY HARVEST DAY !!!!! ***** Pics up top Wet weight - 1,140 grams 40.7 Ounces Just looking at it we be lucky to only lose 75% in dry but still not bad! Not a pleasant job trimming - LOTS of leaves UPDATE 261 grams dry, yeah took a beating on the dry but expected it.
