Very good week. The new plants are 24 days old. That’s how they are supposed to look at that age! They will be much bigger plants than the others because all was dialed in for this new batch. With autos there can’t be anything off or they won’t really get to big (typically). The older plants 6-8 weeks old - will be excellent smoke still just not as big as they can get. Start of week 9. The smaller plants are 31 days old. All looking very very good. I upped the cal/mag The TD and LS will harvest in around 3weeks. I always run them close to 1-2 weeks past recommended. They really frost up and gain weight the last 2 weeks. Excited about the new plants. When they are dialed in I’ve gotten 3-7 Zips from each plant. Pretty amazing for soil grow. Hydro is faster in the beginning and sometimes the entire grow but soil when all on point can keep up with hydro (after a few weeks) and lots of time surpass hydro. Definitely in taste and terpenoids. Happy growing! Any comments appreciated. I love learning about this wonderful plant!

These are cruising along nicely. They are packing on weight every day and the frost is everywhere.I can't wait to run Tikimadman man again.

Lowered the feed this week to 700 ppm then just plain water with no run off for the last 3 days. Two of the plants could have done with going for another week or two but time constraints mean I had to chop now . There very frosty and smell like gelato with funky gas hints , I have 6 phenotypes so I'm expecting some variations. There now hanging at 18°c and 60% humidity . Hopefully I can get some nice dry nug shots before the judging , there close but not dry yet ..

We met one of the best growers at Spannabis!

Buds should be dried in the dark, 50% humidity, at 21 degrees

Environment + Pests + Setup This week (at day 31) I decided to end the battle against fungus gnats. Even after almost three weeks of dried-out soil, dozens of adult insects could be seen, which told me that there were pockets of moisture that I couldn't influence. Accordingly, I went back to the original plan I had outlined earlier: bring the system into balance and use sand and nematodes. Since I should no longer have any problems with low RH, I have also reactivated the exhaust fan, which lead to the values you can see above. Nutrients + Environment From the outset, the plants showed a slight nitrogen deficiency, which was evident in their rather pale, light green color. This is probably due to the fact that the substrate (until now) did not contain enough moisture to allow metabolic and decomposition processes to proceed efficiently. Directly after watering I got reassured that my choice was right and the soil still alive, healthy, and ready to 'get back to work': Look at the amount of springtails and how fast new growth appeared! Plants On day 30, I topped the plants. Both had already formed three nodes and started to develop healthy side branches at all of these nodes. So, according to my plan, I removed the main shoot, leaving enough space for the stump to encapsulate without damaging the healthy plant. I also removed one shoot from each of the middle nodes, as I don't want branches that already grow towards the center (the branches will grow towards the light anyway, and this way I can ensure that there is enough air circulation and room for expansion). Besides that, I sadly feel like the variegation - and genetic really - ain't stable. By the end of week 5, you could see that the offshoots differed a lot in their 'quality' (asymmetrical, some very weak, etc.), and the variegation didn't appear again. *Gorilla Z Auto was 14 cm tall, Mimosa Cake Auto 7 cm (both after topping). Thats why I wrote 10.5 cm.

N deficiency but it’s ok

*********************************************************************************************************** START OF WEEK The Hawaiian Lion (right) and Tricho Jordan (left) are the two plants that dominate the face-on tent photos, and for good reason. Each of those plants is twice the mass of either Chimera. The HL is superior in bud sites, resin, and terp intensity, but the Tricho and the good Chimera #3 are both not too far off in resin production and aroma profiles. The weird runt is frosting up too, so we're looking at getting something unique and quality from each. That is, if I don't muck this up. I fed last night, and as part of that process, I mix my nutrients in a four gallon batch at a double(ish) strength. I then add that to my reservoir, which is shut off at that time. This allows me to work in the res, to both get the ppms right and the ph within range. I just use plain water to level off the ppms and then I adjust for ph. What I didn't do last night is TURN back on the flow of water from the reservoir. However, you wouldn't have guessed it from how the plants woke up today (see first image). I normally check the bases of each plant daily, and in doing so today, I noticed that one felt slight dry. All tanks were empty, but all plant bases were somewhere between wet to moist. This is how I spot check, and it's worked in the past. This isn't the first time these tanks have had a catastrophic issue leading to an unexpected no flow sitch. There's a filter that sits between the reservoir tank and the primary feed line. That has unexpectedly clogged on me in the past, but with no deleterious effect to the grow. That was caught within a day as well by testing the plant bases. I don't blame autopot for either event. Obviously, last night I was a baked potato and just forgot a step. The clog is because I use yucca in my mix, which is an organic material that over time in the reservoir leads to build up. I'm afraid to introduce hydrogen peroxide into the set-up, so I'm just maintaining my reservoir by cleaning it fully every other week for now. I don't want to kill off the bacteria in the environment. I'm also using some fungus, too, so I'd rather promote coexistence of a microbiome than serialize it, especially considering the plants seem to be on pace. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************** END OF WEEK Shit! I've got a herm. I've found four nanner clusters this week, all on the lower third-ish of the Hawaiian Lion. Someone, thankfully, spotted it in the purple flower pics. Turns out, while super fun to look at, those sweet violet flowers turned into harbingers of mother fucking doooooommm. I've never seen this before. I guess I've been fortunate, but I've also never had a camera this capable before either. I had no idea how small these pee pee's were. I guess I was expecting girth, but shame on me for not knowing. I rapidly learned as much as I could over the last two days, and I've come to the conclusion that I may or may not be screwed. The consensus on my situation ranges from either burn my tent down to thank ja for the blessings of feminized seeds. We're riding this baby out. I think I have fifteen to twenty days left and I think these little nanners might have been in action for ten days, hopefully less. I don't know what kind of damage will be done in that time, but honestly, I'm not too worried. While disappointing, my use case is a personal supply of bubble hash and flower rosin. If it's seedy, I'll wash most of it. I don't know what caused it, but I'm thinking a light leak or genetics. The environment is dialed and that plant hasn't shown one sign of anything less than vigor throughout. The spots that developed the purple flowers (lower bottom half to bottom quarter) are all in the vicinity of where I found the herms (four locations) and these locations are close to the edge of the tent along the zipper. I'm vigilant about keeping my tent and grow space in order, but a light leak can't be ruled out. I'll have to test that after the harvest. The herm flowers are minuscule and I'm surprised I found them. The camera was a great tool in this case. I sprayed the areas that I removed the nanners and then dried it, but for what it's worth, I think the damage was already done. That water bit felt more like ritual, but I'm still feeling optimistic that I'm not totally hosed.

22.08.: Die Blütewoche 3 beginnt. Ich bin noch bis Ende der Woche im Urlaub, sodass ich vom Anfang der Woche leider kein Material hab. Sobald ich wieder zuhause bin, werde ich ein aktuelles Update geben. Ich bin schon sehr gespannt, wie sie sich entwickelt haben, aber fest steht die G41 ist nen ordentliches Gerät geworden. Das Nächste Update kommt dann entweder am 25. oder am 26. Höhe Pflanze: PBB = 100cm G41 = 140cm Abstand zur Lampe: PBB = 66cm G41 = 26cm 27.08.: Wo soll ich nur anfangen?! In der Zeit, in der ich abwesend war hat sich die G41 so weit gestretcht, dass sie teilweise bis an die Lampe ran bzw. sogar schon vorbei gewachsen ist. Da das natürlich sehr schlecht für die Qualität der Blüten ist, wenn die Lampe zu nah an der Pflanze ist, musste ich sie bändigen und etwas Platz zwischen Lampe und Pflanze schaffen. Dafür habe ich ein 3. Netz installiert, welches jetzt als Stütze für die Triebe dient. Da ich auf gar keinen Fall zu diesem Zeitpunkt nochmal toppen wollte, blieb nur die Möglichkeit ein Supercropping oder auch Abknicken der Trieb durchzuführen. Dabei habe ich die Triebe kurz über dem Netz abgeknickt und dann auf dem Netz abgelegt. Dadurch werden natürlich untere Triebe verdeckt, aber das muss ich wohl in Kauf nehmen. Außerdem habe ich noch bei beiden Pflanzen einiges an Blättern und Triebe, die zu weit unten hängen geblieben sind, weggenommen, damit mehr Licht nach unten gelangt. Die PBB hat sich seit dem in der Höhe nur wenig verändert, aber ist dafür schon wesentlich weiter, was die Blütenbildung angeht. Man kann schon einige Trichome auf den Blättern erkennen und es kommen auch schon ein paar erste Terpene. Die Lampe habe ich von ca. 40% auf ca 70% hochgeregelt, damit bei der PBB auch noch ein paar Photonen ankommen. Abschließend gab es dann noch ein kleines Extra für die G41 in Form einer Handwässerung mit etwas Acti-Vera von BioBizz und hydrolysiertem Kelp, beides nach Augenmaß. Die Höhe der G41 anzugeben macht natürlich dementsprechend nicht mehr viel Sinn.

First time growing with autos and with leds

Papaya cookies are incredible! All the pistils turn purple, incredible beauty of this plant. We are so happy to have caught this extraordinary phenotype and are looking forward to an early harvest in about 2 weeks time.

So she only grew 3cm in vertical height this week. But look at all the side branches she's pushed out!!! The girl's doing well 😍

Think the last mixture was a little to Strong looks like she burned some of the flowers 😅 but otherwise she’s doing good! Just one little area was infected with mold. Removed it.... check to her in weekend again Hope she can get a least 3-4 weeks more what do you guys think ?

unprecedented how fast they grow they grow on average off 10 cm per day which I have never experienced on soil but had many problems to keep the pH under control I do notice that less is more on rdwc now that I have reduced the nutrition, the pH remains a lot more stable 4 days ago they transferred to 12 12 now comes the fun part I also ordered a co2 set so from next week we will add co2 to the space

Not long now not long.... getting more sticky and stinky by the day

12/5 did some LST yesterday the first time I tried it she’s responding well I’m going to continue nutrients at half strength and that’s all for now 12/6 there are more bud sights on this than I’ve ever seen on any auto flower. I’m already seeing a lot of crystals in the leaves she’s responding well to the LST and I gave her a 1 mL per liter feeding of nutrients with 2 L of water I’m trying to be very careful. I have been using SF1000D lights I bought them a few years ago,they’re not bad they do get hot, especially when I’ve tried to put two of them in one tent it is very difficult to keep cool. Viparspectra I’ll keep it running at 80% and that should be good enough for one autoflower, I got the XS1500. I want to see if there’s any difference in the newer LEDs compared to my older Spider Farmer lights . I found a discount code in one of the discussions here in the site somewhere, and it actually worked it came to about 145 total. It’ll be here tomorrow. 12/7 💎💎💎 I love this seed company. This plant that I topped between three and four and did LST two days ago on is showing me bud sites that are fuller and more full of crystals that I’ve ever seen. this is my 10th Autoflower, my first one from this company and it’s completely different, way better, it’s just phenomenal. I like a clean and symmetrical and even grow. Doing this will make it much easier to process. I’ve never seen a plant grow like this. This is my first time trying LST and I’m glad I did it. It completely changes the plants you can definitely see there will be much more. 12/7 she looks great. because I spread the branches out the way I did, and only have one light on the leaf surface temperatures and the bud surface temperatures are all between 72 and 74° which is perfect. 12/8 Resin production is incredible. it looks like millions of tiny angels jizzed all over my plant it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen 12/8 I got the new Viparspectra light today. It has about 100 more LEDs in the SF 1000 D I’ll take some magnified pictures of the LEDs. The new one is much heavier I like the dimmer that way I don’t have to put in secondary lights for seedlings. It’s not a bad light I like being able to dim the light I ran it at 100% and the temperature was a little hot for me and I’m keeping it kind of close to the plant so I’ll probably lower it down to 75% and that should be good I think. Also I noticed that this one Viparspectra light looks to me brighter than 2 sf100d lights. 12/9 I turned the Viper spectra light down to a little bit less than 75% to bring it down to 100 W. When I did that the temperature stays around 95° on the board and about 98° on the driver, so it is far cooler and more efficient at the same wattage than the older spider farmer lights which were at 110 to 118°( about the same as the XS1500 at full power). So a single 150w xs1500 is about the same as 2 SF1000D lights as far as heat I'm sure the PPF or whatthehelleverthatis is higher ,very nice, If the SF1000D's would have had dimmers they would have been perfect. 12/10 awesome 🤩 12/11 I am seeing lots of resin production more than I’ve ever seen. I think this is so far been my best most successful grow this plant is great. I’m glad I found the seed company. The other ones I used before were pretty bad, I don't LOVE them at all. Also my Yamaha A4A 1600 receiver is total junk, I mean total... I'll never have the money to spend on something like that again, I was totally ripped off. Unrelated but so many formerly trustworthy companies are just TOTAL garbage

End of Week 15 into Week 16. The Flush has begun. I Suspect She's within Her Last Week or 2 before Harvest so it's only PH Balanced Water until Harvest.

The girls have performed very well this week! The LST began, and there was some great growth in side branching. I also started this week off with introducing them to some nutrients ❤️ Start of week 4, the girls had responded well to transplanting, so I decided to start with some LST. My main method is to use soft wire wraps (dollar store purchase!) I poke one hole in the side of the pot near the top, and then go directly opposite that hole and poke through to make another. The first hole is for a wire wrap to secure the base of the seedling from pulling right out or over too far. The other hole is for the direction you want to bend your plant to. I start by slowly working the stem between my fingers at the point where I want it to bend. Twisting and pinching slowly so not to snap. *wait a day or two after your last water, or it will be easier to snap* once it’s ready to flop, I use the wire tie to hold down the top of the plant as close as I can to the nearest shoots. I’ll usually leave the plant like this for a couple of days, adjusting the ties, and then take them off to let them recover . Watered with a small dose of the full line I will be using for this grow. The girls got about 500 ml at the beginning of the week, but 2 days in I could tell they wanted more. By the end of the week they are taking nearly 1/2 gallon (which will give me 10% runoff) At the end of the week I increased the intensity of the BP2500 to 190 watts at the wall and the girls did show a few wrinkles as they adjusted, but have quickly recovered. I haven’t topped these girls, and I’m not sure if I am going to… thoughts? Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨
