Zeigt her eure Lady's

Mine has 5w
Speeds? On or off.
Oscillation nope.

Enough for my, comparatively, small tent. :wink:

Besides, this is already the replacement fan supplied because the clip broke off immediately when I wanted to attach it.
So it’s number 3 then
And if it breaks every six months. I probably get a new one out of goodwill every six months :joy:

I’ll tinker with it anyway

Flowering Day 58

Now it’s getting yellow spots on the leaves, is that a sign of senescence?

Hey @KilliczGe , I wouldn’t pay too much attention to the spotted one anymore because, as you said, it’s somewhere around Flower Day 58. Where I can see quite well in your trichomes from 2 days ago, the majority are still very clear and very few are starting to get cloudy.

Day 58 = the eighth week of flowering has started. It must be full and will probably need the entire 9th week until you can harvest. It is now sending all reserves, potassium, calcium, and so on, up into the buds, and the plant is consuming itself from below. Just to be on the safe side, I would take a loupe and look at the leaves with the spots, underneath them and also on top, to see if you can spot any pests that might be causing feeding spots. The elongated brownish tip on one leaf is a calcium deficiency, or rather, the plant is consuming itself, which is also okay because you are one or two weeks from the end.

Yesterday I checked the trichomes on the Fast Diesel again, and I think it also needs another week. Very milky, a small part clear, but nothing amber, so it will stay for another week. Although the Amnesia still needs a good 3 weeks, I’ve already checked its trichomes here too, but a lot of them are still clear.

Removed some leaves here and there for more light on the lower buds. I’ll be able to get to the Jamaica better once the F.D. is out.

Oh, a magnesium deficiency, like a calcium deficiency, can also appear quickly if your tap water only has an EC of 0.3 / 0.4. Then it would be sensible, especially under LED lights, to kick up the EC with a really small pinch of Epsom salt and about double that amount of Calcium sulfate dihydrate. Both dissolve directly in the water and raise the EC. The EC should be around 0.6 under LED. If such things become visible in earlier stages. But for me, the process of the plant consuming itself has also slowed down significantly.

Since I raised the EC. Your plant’s pistils are almost all still light and are just starting to color. We’ll see how it looks in the 9th week. It still has enough leaves to consume itself from. It will be magnificent.

Earlier, I went into my tents with a loupe to check, also properly from below into several of the flowers. I found no mold, and partly, trichomes sparkled like diamonds in the light.

Currently, I water every morning, and almost every day at noon, preferring smaller amounts and keeping the soil moisture at 35 - 45%. This way, the humidity no longer exceeds 60%.

I only give molasses/rennet (Lab) once a week now. I have new pictures from yesterday.

That was Fast Diesel on Flower Day 47

I still need to transfer the other pictures from my phone to the PC. I hope these few pictures go through because I was fumbling with the PC and phone here. A bit cumbersome.

Two days ago, I had a visit from a distant cousin. I thought he didn’t smoke weed anymore. He had a jar of buds with him that a colleague of his cultivated, and he doesn’t even smoke it. Well, same old story, asking if I knew anyone.

Of course, he left a sample. But I must confess!

I only smoke tiny amounts myself. I dosed as always, and in the end, not much happened.

Even when I added more, it was only minimal. Unfortunately, over-dried and uncured was probably the biggest problem here. As little as it affected me, so little did it taste. Well, I still had something oily from the last rosin pressing.

I’m curious what he’ll say about it when I see him. :rofl:

Otherwise, he’ll have to figure out where and how he’ll get rid of it. I’m past that age and enjoy my peace and the freedom to do my own thing.

Happy weekend, and I just saw that it’s dark again in my tent. Another day has come to an end. Best regards from Pflanzenpaule

I will trim a few larger leaves from the top of the flowers in the coming days to allow more light to penetrate further down. She will need a good three more weeks.

Mmh, the Jamaica also has a good amount on it already; she also still has a while until harvest celebration.

It’s good that after two applications of mineral flowering nutrients, I didn’t give anything else, because even with only half the dose, it was too much for her.

Since then, only EC 0.6 water and nothing else, and molasses/Lab once a week.

This stopped the leaf tip burn at the top and it didn’t progress further.

The Amnesia probably needs the longest flowering time. It has also developed plenty of resin.

There are already some nice, firm buds. :innocent:

Due to brief light disturbances, I couldn’t find any hermaphroditism or male sacs with a magnifying glass in or under the flowers today either. Hopefully, it stays that way.

Pflanzenpaul wishes everyone a pleasant evening.

So, for me it’s today BT 1 / W 1

Today there were 2 liters of water with T.A.Grow fertilizer (4 ml), half from top and half from bottom. The soil was already so dry that the leaves were drooping.

The three plants were also topped so that all the energy now goes into the side shoots. Afterwards, I removed all the fan leaves so that the light can penetrate well and the air can circulate better.

I lowered the lamp to a distance of 25 cm, power initially remains at 120 watts.

I was just looking at your topic about 3 plants in one pot. It’s a lot of work to separate and keep them apart so they don’t overgrow each other.

The idea also came to my mind to do a kind of bed with Living Soil, because I have the 50-liter bag of ready-mix Dope Soil, 10% of which only needs to be activated, and on top, I would put the already running Living Soil for topping up with mulch on top, and for further supply, kitchen waste and earthworms would go into the topsoil layer. I have a rectangular box in mind that would hold 107 liters and also fits into the tent width-wise. I’m interested in;

how big is your pot or how many liters of soil does it hold? Because it’s clear that with several plants, there must be a good amount of substrate.

That’s why I’m going to set up a larger bed, because especially with Living Soil, the more soil, the better, and I could use the bed for a few cycles first. One plant out and a new one cultivated next to it in a new spot, while the old spot, the root mass, is broken down by organisms and brings in fresh nutrients. I’ll soon see if that works much better than in individual 20-liter pots.

The other day I saw a 107-liter pot at a garden store that they put out in Pambach without a fence. I just need a good moment for the box to “stick to my hands”. If it costs nothing, it’s easier to dispose of if it’s no good. :joy:

Meanwhile, I’ve gained some new experience regarding soil moisture, especially with Living Soil, meaning that the soil supplies the plants and you just make sure the soil has enough of everything. With continuous soil moisture of 30 to 40%, you get pretty much all organisms and bacteria feeling comfortable and active. Below 20%, life in the soil dies. Permanently above 50%, it gets too wet, which is also not good for soil life.

First, I had a mixing tub in mind, but it only held almost 65 liters. When I saw the box, it was clear to me that I would get it.

There must be something to it with three ladies in one pot = more! If the soil mass is right.

I’m really curious to see how things go for you when flowering begins. Lots of fun and success, and have a nice evening. Greetings from Paule

@Pflanzenpaul Regarding the pot, I’m not entirely sure about its exact size, maybe 20 liters. Space is especially lacking in my tent, which is no surprise given it’s 60×60×160. For me, every grow basically starts the same way - with calculations. So first, the lamp goes as high as possible, then I subtract everything: light distance during flowering and pot height, which gives the maximum plant height at the end. Then divide the result by three to get the plant’s height before the stretch. And it’s best to do this three times and compare the results to avoid any errors. And every time the same thought comes to mind

“saw out the stupid bottom, there’s not enough space”:face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

If I didn’t have such a lack of space at home, I would have gotten a larger tent where I could use decent pot sizes like 20 liters for one plant, or in this case, a minimum of a 60-liter pot. Living soil would have been an option for me there. But in my small pots, it wouldn’t be worth the effort.

But in the end, I’ll see the comparison to my SOG with 9 plants, whether it was more effective or just an experience I’ve had. Although it will definitely be an exciting experience. And at the moment, the distribution of shoots from the three plants is going quite well. If I run out of space during the stretch, the girls’ journey will simply continue upwards. In an emergency, I might even snip off another shoot so I don’t get a visit from Bud Rot again; I can do without that.

I already noticed that the space in the tent is very limited.

But even with 120 x 120 x 200 m, you have to see how you can still reach everything in the end.

That’s why the rectangular bed caught my eye, because it leaves a little space in front and behind to crawl into.

But with 20 L, 3 ladies is already tight but nothing is impossible. I’ve also already gotten very good results with 7 L pots of living soil until the end. I’m curious to see how it continues.

Cheers

I use the ones from Eco Witt. But at some point, I will upgrade to the UIS Controller AI from AC Infinity and get the soil sensors for it.

I’m assuming they will perform well too.

The cost-benefit ratio clearly has to be right for the whole thing. It’s cheaper with a smaller tent. I’ve only currently set up the larger tent a bit better. The 1 mtr. tent has an exhaust system that only has stages 1 and 2 and is manually controlled. So, sometimes on and sometimes off. It’s enough for growing. But the time will come when the big tent comes out and I’ll drywall the corner of the room with a door to simply enlarge the grow space from the current 120x120x200 to at least 150x150x245 cm. It’s more about the height for me then, and the space for a plant bed, and how quickly something like that can happen. :joy: :innocent:

Only then will the AI controller with soil moisture sensors come, all from one brand, the exhaust system a bit larger, and the current one will then go to the smaller tent.

The 107-liter plant bed box gave me no peace, so I went back there today.

I also wanted to politely ask at the garden store what was up with it, why it was lying there publicly unfenced, and if I could take one. Meanwhile, I found another stack of these boxes. One was overgrown and another one a bit nicer.

Yep, the store is closed on Mondays - but I’m not! :rofl:

And as it happened, I measured it and the box is only 106 liters. Forget the one liter, it stuck to my hands, so I took the thing home. Now I have the container for a Living Soil bed. When that starts, 50 liters of fresh 10% (mix?) will go in at the bottom, and the rest on top, with the contents of the emptied fabric pots on top with some additional fertilizer. On top of that, it will be mulched, and green manure from seeds and earthworms will be added. Finely chopped kitchen waste will also be massaged into the upper layer of soil, just like in a garden.

I’m crazy, the box is almost as big as the bathtub :joy: Awesome. The first option was to properly clean and disinfect the thing.

Then I roughly measured it, estimated by eye, and it occurred to me. Crosswise is probably not ideal; lengthwise into the tent, and then I have some space on the right and left to crawl in. I always plan ahead, and then there’s the issue with the drain openings, and I don’t have a big tray to put underneath. I found 2 saucers that fit, on which the whole thing is supposed to stand.

But in the middle there are 2 drain holes that I will close with silicone or blind plugs because I don’t have anything there, and it would drip if there was a bit too much water.

So, closing the two small holes in the middle, and I’ll make the others a bit bigger, and another idea was born. Where the saucers are, I’ll run cords from 2 holes in the box into the saucers, right and left, so that if anything seeps through, it can be sucked back into the soil by capillary action through the cords. With Living Soil, there shouldn’t be any drain anyway. But it can always happen.

I already had a 40-liter round pot, but this as a bed, I think, will be really awesome. However, it will take some time until it starts because the current pots will have to sit for a few more weeks after this run until the organisms have decomposed the roots of the current ones. But somehow, I’m already hooked on the idea of this bed.

Well, the plant pot was here faster than I thought. Greetings from Pflanzenpaule

Hey my friend.

I object! If those are the trichomes of the one to be harvested in a week, then I don’t think a week is enough because the trichomes are still mostly clear. It’s similar to my Amnesia. Although you already have 1 or 2 amber or purple trichomes, very few cloudy, and many clear. I would say it definitely needs another 14 days, and let it use up its leaves. Only remove them when they are yellow or completely dried out. At best, it will shed them itself when they are no longer useful.

In parallel to the trichomes, I also see a lot of bright pistils, and they are changing color, as it’s already happening in some parts. I reckon it could even need another 14 days to three weeks. Keep observing it carefully.

Meanwhile, I’m also sitting here waiting. The Fast Diesel, given with 7 - 9 flowering weeks, is today at the beginning of flowering week 8, on flowering day 50. The first one I harvested back then was on day 56, and its clone on day 58.

Tag 97 anfang der 8ten Blüte Woche

Slowly, the leaves at the bottom are getting a bit lighter. Although the water requirement went down a bit, on average it gets 500 ml of water in the morning and 500 ml of water at noon, and the soil moisture sensor is around 31 - 42%.

Tag 97 Fast Diesel 6.10.25

Fresh pistils are still growing, emerging from new calyxes, green at first, which then turn purple later on. So the flowers themselves are still bulking up, and many pistils still need to turn brown and curl up towards the flower.

Tag 97 und hier schießt sich immer mehr Trichome rein

Upon closer inspection, even more trichomes are still emerging. And I’ll probably leave it for the whole week because although a lot is already milky here, a lot of new growth is still clear, just emerging, and amber is very little to almost none, if any. Maybe it will go into a ninth week.

But then it will be something very fine again. And yesterday I enjoyed the clone of the Lockdown. Yeah, I had fun, because it was a great trip, whereas yesterday afternoon the kief from the grinder, a mix of everything that went through it… Oho, that really hit hard. All in all, I was set for the whole day with 2 joints. :innocent:

First of all, our precious plant can only get better with each passing day. Practice patience, it will be worth it. Greetings and continued success, Pflanzenpaule

Oh yes, here I am again. A bit high, but still just about able to show a few pictures from today.

First off, yesterday was clone feeding. Fast D. Clone and Mexi Clone are developing splendidly. The Jamaican Clone from flowering is now slowly starting to form its true-to-form leaves, although at the top, more single-finger leaves are appearing, but in increasingly insane sizes. With her, I ran into the problem that I fed her the same amount of mineral nutrients, and probably due to revegging, she took much less, which caused the EC in her runoff to become very high. So last week she got water twice, but only water, and with the last drain, it was already down by half. This week too, she’s only getting water, and only then will she get food again, and less than half the amount.

Let’s see how much longer I’ll keep them in vegetative growth, as they are still about 30 cm tall and there’s still room for more.

Back to the beginning of the 8th week of flowering, today is flowering day 50. The three that are still coming will probably stand for another 2 - 3 weeks. Here, the flowering week indications vary between 9 - 11 weeks.

@Pflanzenpaul the sticky fingers definitely come from the girls in your tent :joy:

My ladies looked very spent yesterday after the radical defoliation followed by topping, which worried me a bit all of yesterday evening. However, I have to say that they handled it well. They are full of vigor again and today I was able to direct two more side shoots into the open space with LST clips.

20251006_151427For the next three weeks, they can grow peacefully and fill the net, and then they’ll get their legs shaved and hair cut again.
