Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

Day 42/56+: A very good week for all the ladies this week. Fully recovered from her sodden roots the GG#4 has bounced back nicely. She looks so beautiful as a plant that the yo,yo's around her are an eyesore now.lol Her classic GG#4 look is bang on to what I expected this strain to be like and I am loving it.She smells so pungent of a lemony , sweet ,dirt kind of aroma. This is the one strain I have wanted to grow for a long time and have somehow always been sidestepped . Now original sensible seeds have put this girl back out in style. my wish has come true and here she sits waiting to fulfill a dream for me. sounds crazy even reading g this back but it gripped me when a friend gave me a nug to play with some time ago. I have grown derivatives and hybrids of her but now have the real deal right here. The tackyness when rolling a joint with this strain is second to none as it crumbles too. Black Ghost O.g is another absolute hash makers dream. Her colas are so covered in trichs that any close up pictures look like the focus is broke on my camera. so fuzzy with it and really solid to touch too. She isn't huge but like her opposite , being in the middle of larger plants has a price. She smells so pungent too up close with a stickiness that get annoying after soap won't even touch it and I can't hold paper for a while. lol Wedding cake has by far been the easiest and most productive of these ladies. She has took the food with no issues or tip burn too. This strain would be a very good strain for a first time grower too. A little training and she recovers and responds very quickly. Her general size and willingness to spread herself wider , shows how well she would take to any training g that you threw at her too. so much good secondary growth for a very nice scrog or a multi topped bush . For my needs and room limits she has been topped once and then her lower nodes , 1and 2 taken out to leave the 3rd and 4th nodes to train out more sideways. She has still responded to this with lots of the would-be popcorn hitting the canopy along with her mains once allowed vertical. This has given a very good sized canopy and overall plant footprint for her to build this great looking girl.. Buds are so frosty now and have a real gritty look more like icing sugar. They are so hard to squeeze and bounce back nicely when I try. Very impressed with her. another 3 weeks and I get to hopefully sample the first of these girls.

Just water

Week 7 of Veg. 4x4 filled out very nicely. Added in a 2nd 500W light and spread the plants out a bit more to allow more airflow/light penetration. Now the fun begins :D

So far so good, Can anyone out there please advise if these are ready now or a few more days... Tis getting warmer now where I am. How hot is too hot for plants? Thanks in advance..

FastBuds Tropicana Cookies Auto on this run, slightly different tent, same size but 1ft taller than the last one just to give me abit more room,.. got an extra fan going and a couple of cool feeding bottles that drip into the trays save me opening the tent every feed, these are 7 days from breaking soil, one obviously has taken of more than the other but both seem fine, roll on next week 👌

Top dressed with 1.5 Tbls of Terp Tea Bloom and Microraza. Watered in with rain water, blended aloe leaf, & Fish Sh!t. 1/2 gallon each, no runoff.

Sie haben noch einen kleinen Schnitt bekommen. Unteren Triebe wurden entfernt und die Haupttriebe sortiert. Jetzt haben sie noch Tage und dann geht's auch schon in die Blüte.

Another new grow and like the OG kush, trying something new with this grow, by flipping to 12/12 for a week (without bloom nutrients). Also with this grow and the OG kush, I'm switching to the coco series nutes, as they have higher P & K values than the non-coco line up.

This week went real great, 2 ogreberrys and Bruce banner got trimmed up an jarred ! We chopped the 3 other Ogreberrys on Sunday the 14th , they will hang out to dry for 14 days ! Stay tuned for next update! More trimming an weight an overall photos! Cheers to y’all 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨

Plants are going beautifully. No problems. Easiest grow so far. I’m running dangerously low on weed and I’m quarantined. If u read this message pls send weed 😷💊

RS11 x Banana OG - Barney's Farm x Doja Day 105 - watered with 2L of RO tap water with nutrients listed above mixed in order, and ph'd to 6.3. I'm not too sure about this one, there were a few issues with her during veg and now that we're more than half way through her flowering cycle, I would have expected her buds to have bulked up a lot more - her pistils have started to show signs of maturity, so I don't expect her to bulk up much more... Maybe it's the genetics, maybe Im just unlucky here, but I have a feeling the yield will be extremely small with this one... Which is a shame, because it smells so good!! She's close to harvest and there is enough room in the tent, so I'll finish her off, but under different circumstances, I would have removed her already and turned her into cannabutter... You win some, you lose some...

[Week 1 - Germination] The Fat Banana seed has germinated and looks very healthy. Very small leaves have appeared in the past two days!

Day 42 350ml plain rain Well sh*t - prob moved to next set lower fans - to be expected - don't take leaves off a sick plant! anyhoo - only took 5 off - so: Def got calmag probs - overfed that - def got potassium prob - Q is still "Over or Underfeed" A is still F knows Mitigating factors are [A] that she has a lot of flower and could be crying out for nutes [B} I did misread nutes and for first 6wks was overfeeding in conflict w premix soil [C] Stardawg had exact same nutes schedule and is NOT showing signs and [D] mycorrhizal addition to soil caused probs in bot Forbidden Runtz and Stardawg - so it could be chemlock - which would be the worst coz flush only solution and I don't flush! pH 6.9 rH 45-55 Temp 22-27C Solutions: 1] H2O diet for wk and monitor - check - (day2: lower leaves further displaying calmag/potassium/phosphorous signs) 2] Nitrates to solve potassium - top dress may help - but again, I think I've overfed in conflict with soil premix, so... 3] Calmag burn is almost certainly overfeed - minimize and monitor that when nutes reintroduced << OK - basically I must have a chemlock because I have overfed but almost as importantly - the watering schedule [I water every morning under 24hr] does let the soil dry every day - some plants can handle it - Stardawg can as well as Big Bud - FR can't. So Will give her double H2O for cpl days and see. Will also pH adjust - she is in range for everything for absorption but nit if getting repeated daily chemlock - so might as well pH adjust if semi-flushing >> << Decision >> Right, I have got some serated edge tip burn in next level fans - these being last indica factory leaves - those of the lower level I left on are sick as and will come off, but leaving everything else on. She didn't seem to mind the flush - put gallon through in two goes (one was her daily water) - not much leaf twisting - buds looks good and I think that is the point ... they're doing fine from the over nute - but the veg material not so. Going to repeat flush tomorrow am but only 1/2 gal and leave her to dry out and then back to her h2O diet till Day 7 [tomorrow am will be day 3] btw flush pumped rH up to 60 so had to leave doors open all day 😕 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH 😞😠>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Just been going over leaves after defoliating and found.... spider mites .... not nutrient based and not WPM thank the stars. Referring to the grow diaries collective - need advice Well - defoliated heavily - now know - it is wk 2/3 flowering and I was holding off on defoliating Just in Case it was chemlock BUT now I know I would be removing the most infested leaves - I went nuts and did a full sativa stage defoliate - irony is if I did it straight away this might not have happened. Gotta give props to BraveHeartGenetics - genius solution and will be borrowing my friends little handheld vacuum - she is a clean freak so will be perfect, Wind power very clean solution. Video in honor of BraveHeartGenetics - I need a joint now. Day 43 Well the spider mites are def under control. Vacuumed plants. was fine - used a dyson handheld with wide hose so could get whole leaf in without it flailing around against sides and getting damaged. Got her hands to the sky for first time in ages - good to see. Hopefully the defoliation also helps get her back in the groove - now know it's not totally nutrient based - that said of course mites screw with transpiration and chlorophyll levels so you know - not great - but hopefully over. Further to this I added a fan and a dehumidifier w 600ml capacity -should be enough to make the climate tough for mites. The last 24hrs can go screw themselves, but got some great advice so grateful as 😊 No water and suspended flushing - she looks happier I will still keep theH2O diet going and of course check for mites regularly Day 44 350ml plain rain water. Hands to the sun! omg she hasn't looked this good in wks! thank the stars 😅 Day 45 300ml plain rain - - pic she's a bit droopy but she's still having transpiration probs and has just been watered - she'll manage Day 46 300ml plain rain she still looked a little forlorn so I got the loupe out and sure enuff - more beasties. <<SO>> Got my vacuum out and cleaned the nozzle - it is an unregulated (sssshhh not v green) 1700W monster about twenty yrs old - Vacuuming your Bud [METHOD] I found it necessary to go at the buds from the side as well as top down (don't vacuum from underneath even though that's where the beasties are - I didn't even try - you will damage the plant) The nozzle was big enough to encapsulate a whole bud and it's leaves - so I repeated this motion [ahem] 1/2 dozen times and moved onto next bud I vacuumed every bud in this manner After, I checked known sites with my loupe I saw no mites - but some larvae still there So I vacuumed all again in same manner After final check I saw no larvae - I'm sure there are some remaining [RESULT] Leaf damage - very little - any heat/nute damaged tips got frayed, but the leaf veins / structure / stomata - underside leaf hairs / trichomes / pistils - no damage at all. OVERALL health condition of plant after vacuuming compared to as found: 9/10 AMMNDMNT << 6/10 >> FEED HER AFTER! Very few mites on plant & bonus: all the leaves are now conveniently 'hands to the sky'. OVERALL effectiveness in removing mites: 8/10 [CONCLUSION] I think the plant thoroughly loves this - provided it is not a routine affair, it is left in it's healthy pose - with most of a parasite removed. That said, I think it is a process that requires repeating, like a course of antibiotics; twice a day for a number of days - or spaced over several days between vacuuming, perhaps in accordance with / dictated by... spider mite life cycle. Finally - I know it sounds counter intuitive but DO use a POWERFUL Vacuum - The handheld Dyson 300 Whilst ok, just didn't do as well as my full size 1700W - result being I didn't significantly affect the mite numbers - thus a waste of time 8 hrs later she is looking fine - will repeat tomorrow Day 47 No vacuuming today - ADDED CONCLUSION - I f you have to do this - FEED her afterwards - with maybe a protracted dark spell She is looking so sick - the upside of the leaf damage you can't see but also expect she robbed her leaves of nutes as she has got lock out Going to put her in the dark for a bit - got photos will update after She had 3:1000ml Big Bloom 2:1000 Tiger Bloom Grow Big 1:1000 Calmag in 400ml plain rain water Day 48 No watering to day She actually looks good - checked her over for mites again - all clear - in evening thought maybe even a bit more color to her - maybe just lights were dimmed lol

And the time to flip her out came and here is day one on a 11/13 light shuttle lol she is looking amazing to my eyes and so , but so ready to flowers and deliver big fruits, lets see. I topped 2x and they are all clean up to the top, from now on i will give her a defoliation some point on, like day 15 something like that, depending on her needs , if needed before it will b if after, after will b, she will decide if and wen i defoliate her . I gave her still in this watering some root booster (start booster in my case) but from now on i will not give it tho her any more, started my P on them and my fruit booster ( in my case topbooster) Gave her her last training and from here on she is capable of doing her thing, i believe in her and in the power of Aptus Nutrient line. Tomorrow or so i will take some more pictures and post here to see how she is going, so stay happy stay tuned and i hope surrounded with love and good weed to smoke 😆💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏✊✊✊🙌🙌🙌💨💨💨💪💪💪 Day 2 and they are loving the fact that i change it to 11-13 , they wore desperate for that i think 😆 loving how they are praying like there is no t tomorrow Day 5 and she looks happy AF and always praying to the Gods , thank you girl you doing great and im so proud of you ✊💪💪💪 As always thank you guys for your love , your time, your support and it all, i fell blessed and i am truly thankful 💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌 All i grow is medicine for myself, for me and for my best friend with is me 😆 nothing to sell, so don’t even ask 😅💚💚💚 All info and full product details can be find in can find @ https://viparspectra.eu/collections/grow-lights DISCOUNT CODE 5% - DOGDOCTOR ( all store ) https://www.zamnesia.com DISCOUNT CODE 10% - GROWITGD ( just for seeds ) https://aptus-holland.com/ #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #viparspectra #zamnesiaseeds #growerslove With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚💚💚 More info and updates @ https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctor https://instagram.com/dogdoctorofficial https://youtube.com/channel/UCR7ta4DKLFMg2xxTMr2cpIg 💚💚💚Growers love to you all 💚💚💚

Day 40 : Watering today community after 3 days. They were too thirsty and drank 2.5L per plant. I added a lot of food to the water. But it finished with 800ppm only. I think Biobizz decreased the density of nutrients. I added 1 co2 tab / 5L as every time. Also made small defoliation to the bottom for all ladies. She have reached 59cm. She has some burnouts but i hope she recovers.

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Habe sie heute geerntet. Wir hören uns in 3 Wochen mit dem Erntebericht.

This will be a bit of a challenge, one of the LCC is 45cm while the others are 25cm. I gave them little ramps to keep canopy even and all 3 are still looking healthy.
