FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way — first week running without them) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 °C) → added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. That’s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 – FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel → added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 – Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring — no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. 🌿 Step 4 – FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) ≈ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone — looks alive and active. 🍋 Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. 📦 Step 6 – Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water → pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green — roughly 5.8 – 6.0 range. Nice clean look, stable smell, no residue. 💧 Current Base Ingredients (Active Mix) Warm Water ≈ 22 L total Calcinit 45 g → N + Ca foundation FERMAKOR PK Base 30 ml → P + K support Citric Acid 1 tsp → Chelation + pH balance FPJ / Fish Emulsion 30 ml → Organic enzyme booster Result: clean amber mix, mild and balanced. I’ll let this version run for a week before adding anything. 👀👀👀👀👀👀 Observations and changes 👀👀👀👀👀👀 27.10.25 VW27 noticed some min burnt tips so I decreased Calcium Nitrate 45 to → 40g, decided to add two more elements micros and Epsom salts just to make sure they got everything, Fetrilon Combi 1 (Micros): 0.5 g, Epsom salts: 8 g 28.10.25 VW27 she seems devoid of any deficiencies, seems ready for the flip to 12/12 02.11.25 VW27 girl is looking good so I decided to stop making daily videos and do a standard once a week update. 09.11.25 aVW28 7 days since flip,stretch in full swing, first pistils showing, leaf color deep and healthy.

Hey there growmies! Week 16 and week 6 of flower has started. Although I do have to keep reminding myself that they are technically entering week 4 of flower. I was quickly reminded of that over the weekend, lol. Everything is still going good. They're all taking in plenty at the moment, very heavy eaters these ladies are! Trichomes are looking great and the smell is really starting to come out. Smells right now are very sweet, like candy. It's even more intense when I brush by watering and touching them. Weird because I thought the smell was supposed to be earthy, citrus and fuel. Still alot of time to go though. I'm definitely noticing day by day swelling and that's just cool to me, I love watching plants grow ❤️ Well that's it for now. Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

What can I say. She has gone from smallest to biggest plant in the tent. So many baby buds on her. She is now starting to smell nice. This plant has grown totally naturally without any training at all. She look briliant.

Week 10 Update This week overall looks solid. The plant is in good health and has responded really well to the topping I did last week. The canopy has filled back out, it’s denser, and the structure is becoming more balanced. During this session I went in with a major defoliation, another topping, and some LST to shape the plant. Unfortunately, while doing the training, one of the junctions between a branch and the main stem cracked slightly. To support the recovery, I applied a small piece of tape as a bandage to help the plant heal and close the wound. Structurally, we now have four main branches, each with two fresh tops — which means eight apexes in total. The plan now is to let her recover gently and monitor how she develops over the next days. Environmental conditions are stable. Temperatures have cooled a bit, averaging around 22–23°C, with relative humidity hovering close to 70%. This range feels comfortable for the plant. Regarding pH, I no longer check the runoff in the saucers because it doesn’t make sense. Fresh nutrient solution leaving the reservoir at 5.9–6.0 will measure fine at first, but three days later the leftover solution in the saucer gives a completely different number. It’s not representative, so I just focus on locking the reservoir pH between 5.9 and 6.0. The plant seems to handle this approach very well. Nutrients remain unchanged for now. I may have added a touch of Rhino Skin, which I didn’t mention earlier in the diary, but it’s there to start strengthening the plant tissues in preparation for heavier branches later. So far, everything is steady. We’ll let her settle, recover, and keep following the evolution week by week.

I really enjoy growing these plants. They change every day. The 2 bigger onee start to have purple all over the leafs. The tallest is craaaaazy frosty. When I open the growbox there comes a smell like a punch in my face. They smell very strong and they smell amazing. 3 different phenos, 3 different smells and structures. It is like growing 3 different strains but all 3 of them seem to be special. I hope the grow finishes as well as it went till today.🙏🌴🍪 🌴🍪🌲🍊⛽️🔥

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de floración de estas Papayton feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, el ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 25/21 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de floración puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 100% de potencia. De momento van creciendo a buen ritmo pero 1 está dando problemas por bloqueos, ya veremos como acaban. COMENTAR: que una de las 3 salió macho. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Plants were watered on day 4 of week 9, as follows: Lucy: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.27, Height: 22 in. Herbert: 1.25 gallons water, pH: 5.77, Height: 24.5 in. ***Both fed nutrients - 5 ml/.5 gal BioVega (3% N, 1% Phosphate, 5% Soluble Potash), 7 ml/.5 gal BioBoost (1% Phosphate), and 1 ml/.5 gal BioRhizotonic (0.6% Soluble Potash) Plants were watered on day 5 of week 9, as follows: Thin Mint Sr: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.76, Height: 20 in. Thin Mint Jr: 1 gallon water, pH: 6.50, Height: 19.5 in Notes: Thin Mint Jr has nutrient burn and so was NOT fed nutrients today. Thin Mint Sr was fed nutrients at 50% strength 2.5 ml/.5 gal BioVega (3% N, 1% Phosphate, 5% Soluble Potash), 4 ml/.5 gal BioBoost (1% Phosphate), and 0.5 ml/.5 gal BioRhizotonic (0.6% Soluble Potash) (both plants still in nutrient distress - in process of recovery but have some new growth that is greener so improvement is being observed; slowly but surely!) ***Plants ideally would have been transitioned to the flowering phase this week, but due to nutrient deficiencies and nutrient burn on Thin Mint Jr., we are holding off on this transition for 1 week to give the plants a chance to recover from stress.

These plants are starting to live up to their name, looking very Yum-yum with the blue colours starting to come in. Front plant has nice long buds that are starting to plump up nicely with colours coming in. Back plant has slightly smaller looking buds, but they seem to be just as colourful, and are starting to smell delicious. Picked a few leaves off, and the buds made my arm sticky AF. Speaking of leaves, the back plant has some pretty dry fan leaves with a decent amount of browning. Looks like advanced tip burn, may be that this strain is a little more sensitive than the others? Other plants on same reservoir are happy, so just gonna let these two keep riding it out. They're looking great otherwise, and the browning is only affecting the older/larger fan leaves on the outside of the plant. Turned the light up to 100% now getting 600 umol/s

Day 31, 20th of October 2021: Hi everyone! Welcome to week 5 ! Spliff ladies are 😎 Let's see so My favourite ones from this group is CBD Medi Kush and Afghani Gold.... Amazing ones haha! Obviously, I ain't got no problem with Blue Berry and Strawberry neither.... LST has been performed on all fo them nicely spread the branches as I could..... CBD Medi Kush is bombastic strong and healthy no any problem very resilient lady.... Blue Berry is still fighting with some nitrogen or magnesium deficiency but nothing serious problem there.... Spliffs Strawberry 🍓 started growing and grew a lot proper Sativa lady.... And... Afghai Gold she did the most growth. Very nice strong real Indica little chubby bitch hahaha. Fertilization remains the same with the same bat guano, epsom salt and Biobizz family - BioGrow, BioBloom, TopMax... 2x a week epsom just once. Ratio is above... ;) Lamp is on 150W so approx 60% of the max and it is fine just placed the fan kit in so the temp is lower approx 25 degrees and constantly fresh air goes in and the humidity is lower as well around 50%... Every 2 hours ventilation is on as well for 2 minutes just to make a better air circulation. They receive approx 100 ml water a day/plant...
