But my exotics are also growing nicely in the room of the Grow tents, so they can occupy the sunny spot in the garden again in spring. I’m curious if the pineapple will produce fruit.

My wife has a new hobby. Breeding worms 
. Originally, she wanted to see if the wood pigeon, which unfortunately we can only release into the wild in spring, would eat them. It didn’t, so she read up on breeding. Now there’s a box in the stairwell with soil, organic material, and fat worms. This will later be swapped for a 40l pot; they should have space. So I always have a supply of worms. And besides, they also make humus for me, although not much, because it takes forever. But it will be enough for refilling. They always have about 6 months.

Hello hello Growlings
Yesterday I took a tour of the tent station and brewed a compost tea, heated, actively aerated and this time with two fat air stones.
I think it’s time to put the little ones into the living soil and that’s why the tea is directly for that.
On day 18, seedling day 11, 5-finger leaves are also visible, which means the actual growth phase is now beginning. The difference, however, is already brutal.
In front, the smallest, the Strawberry Kush, next to it on the right the Jamaican Pearl is already a bit bigger, and behind the Strawberry, the Cookies OG on its way to gigantism.
It’s worth topping the Cookies OG to halve it later and make clones from the upper shoots.
A brutally vigorous growth.
Already in these few days, there are 7 cm between Cookies OG (14.5 cm) and Strawberry (7.5 cm).
The Jamaican was 11 cm tall yesterday.
I’m curious to see how things go in the final pots soon.
Paule wishes you a nice day

FD 80 / W 12
For a few days now, the 3 have only been getting 8 hours of light per day, and the day before yesterday they received their last liter of water after I subjected them to some dry stress. The lamp has also been dimmed to 60 watts for a while now, and the light distance is 30 cm. Today I took a closer look at the trichomes again and I think I will turn off the lights completely for them in 3 days and then subject them to 2 more days of complete darkness before they get the chop. I’m as excited as a coiled spring to see what these 3 beasts will weigh. They made me doubt myself quite a bit at times, wondering if I was on the wrong track with them. But I believe in the end, their performance wasn’t so bad at all.
Here are a few more pictures of the trichomes
I wish everyone a nice day

Hello everyone, and oh, @Johnnyjoejackson stopped by. Things are going very well for you, green thumb. Hope everything else is great too.
To you and all the others here, I wish you a Merry Christmas already.
Oh no, should the next run already end in a fiasco??
That was yesterday, Day 18, seedling day 11, this Strawberry remains extremely small.
Today I moved it a bit away from the other two, because otherwise it would have only been standing in their shadow.
Today, Day 19, it is now on cardboard to be roughly at the same height as the others.
It now has 5 fingers, just like the other two small ones, and so today begins the growth phase, Day 1.
It will probably be more of a Lilliputian Indica thing.
Tomorrow, repotting is planned. It will go into an 18 L final pot.
The other two will each go into a 20 L final pot and into Super soil, hoping it’s still super.
Coincidentally, the heated, actively aerated compost tea started yesterday.
Rich with mycorrhiza, Trichoderma, worm castings, and various soil bacteria, it is now running at a temperature of 26.2 degrees.
That’s how the liquid looked after one night, in the morning.
And then like this
A bit of foliage and 6 grams of deficiency remover added in will be used tomorrow to water the ladies well after repotting, and the foliage will be placed on top for mulching.
Didn’t feel like doing it today.
Light dimmers are already at 40%.
Today, the Auto Bubble Gum received more care.
I don’t know how I could have overlooked that. The lightening of Lady 2, which grew from the middle, was probably due to too little light distance. It was suddenly only around 30 cm.
It stretched again and is now 79 cm tall, and even 110 cm with the pot. Also, it doesn’t have enough nutrients yet, which was visible by the pulling up of the lowest leaves.
Since Lady 1 was very stunted and had problems from the beginning. I had to build her a high chair today so everything is at the same height again for equal light distance.
What a demanding vegetable.
So today I also mixed 2 x 2.5 liters of nutrient solution. Lady 1 received a weaker one, and Lady 2 received a slightly stronger one today.
The lamp was also raised significantly again to be at a 45 cm distance.
I think by tomorrow it won’t be so pale at the top anymore.
And otherwise, it’s better to have too little concentrated feed than too much.
I guess today is flowering day 15, beginning of the third flowering week.
Time to soon remove what can no longer grow upwards at the bottom.
Lady 1 is 59 cm tall and is 20 cm behind.
I solved that this way.
I will test tomorrow if the lime is already working and has raised the soil pH a bit. Because it was only 6.0 for Lady 1.
There was very little drain from the 2.5 L per pot. From that, I now have 3 days of peace again and will repot the others tomorrow.
Then may you all be richly gifted tomorrow and in the coming days, and spread joy to your loved ones.
Best regards from Pflanzenpaule.

Just a quick ‘Moin moin’ before midnight!
I wish you all a Merry and reflective Christmas and good health.
I’m about to go for a walk with Gizmo.
Yesterday, the small young ladies were placed into their final pots.
Today they are still standing,

I wish you all a nice first Christmas Day evening.
Oh, how awesome
Today, I’ve been busy with the AC Controller AI.
Pairing with the router was really easy as it was already configured by the predecessor.
Tomorrow I’ll mount it on the wall and plug it in so it can start working.
Breathed on the CO2 sensor twice and it immediately rose to almost 2000 PPM, briefly, otherwise it was around 750 PPM.
The autos each received 2 liters of water today. With 5 ml EM Aktiv and 5 ml soil conditioner per 2 liters, the pH was 6.9, which I considered good.
5 ml molasses/Lab and 1 gr. Super Microbes Boost X were added, and apparently, the liming is working for Lady 1.
She grew a bit taller and now looks better.
Lady 2 continues to grow taller.
Another 5 cm more than 2 or 3 days ago.
She also became a bit greener, as she was already lighter in color. More fertilizer and increased light distance brought improvement.
Let’s see if I can lollipop both of them tomorrow. They are now in the third week of flowering, and the gnats are also a thing of the past.
And what I immediately notice is that with manual watering, there’s a much better overall humidity. It was 43% today, which is perfect for flowering.
Let’s see how the last few weeks will go now.
And today is the first day that this nasty painful pressure in my palate is gone.
6 days after the surgery and still on antibiotics, it’s finally getting better. Only the suture feels a bit tight, which will also go away soon.
Tomorrow, I need to check on the repotted ones.
Until then, and greetings from Pflanzenpaule

Hey @herr_gruen
The last Christmas Eve is underway for this year, and I hope you had a lot of joy too.
Yeah man, harvest that bush because it’s long enough now and it’s losing its beauty.
Awesome job. Plan for 14 days of drying.
I had some peace today, so I used the time to lollipop the 2 Bubble Gum Auto today. Defoliating the interior so that light can penetrate deep and air can flow through.
They are on day 46 today and roughly in flowering day 18.
Lady 2 is still growing by about 2 - 3 cm per day.
They’re not exactly beauties, or maybe I’m used to prettier ones.
Lady 2 after the procedure.
Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, fertilizing will be due again.
For Lady 1, I also did some low-stress training along with the “shave” because she seemed to have grown so densely within herself.
So I pulled four of her branches out all around with plant ties and fixed them to the pot rim so she stands a bit more open.
What a creature.
Well, as long as something smokable comes out of it, you won’t be able to tell by the individual buds at the end.
While removing the lowest shoots, I discovered a shoot on Lady 2 from which two had developed without topping.
I would have liked to put that in the rooting propagator, but with an autoflower already in flower, it was unfortunately pointless.
Now we wait and see how they continue to develop.
The highlight, I think, is not the All Mix and the Bio Bizz fertilizer range.
One remembers the start with stunted growth, then a pest plague.
And now I’m switching to the grow palace.
Here I connected the new AC Controller AI and moved the two sensors inside.
Everything is running well and is set up like the previous one.
For that, I had to go into the tent to position the sensors, and a look at Jamaican and Cookies OG brought me joy.
I transplanted the three young ladies on Christmas Eve from 1L light Mix pots into 18L and 2 x 20L final pots with living Soil.
It looks like this after I thoroughly watered the repotting with compost tea.
That they are really going wild.
Wonderful!
The Strawberry stayed a bit behind and smaller from the start. When repotting, a piece of the root ball even broke off, and I assumed that would be the end of her. But nope,
she’s slowly continuing to grow.
Aside from her being small, she looks healthy and is fighting her way up from the thicket.
The soil with all the bacteria, fungi, and so on still seems to be active. The new ones are on day 22 today and growth day 4.
Light distance 50 cm at 43% on the light dimmer.
Well, the Strawberry isn’t big. She hasn’t been keeping up properly from the start. And I’ll just let her be!
But then, in the front left row in the tent, the Jamaican.
She’s really rising from the jungle there and looks truly vibrant in leaf color.
She has gained a lot in the 2 days in the final pot.
And it gets even better.
The Cookies OG is going wild. And I’ll let her grow a bit more to top her to make clones.
You can watch her grow, and I think my concerns;
that the living Soil might be spent, because of several runs and some cover crop deficiencies here and there.
The ladies themselves look magnificent.
All three have grown very well, and that gladdens my grower’s heart.
Now it’s still a long way, and I’m curious where the journey goes. Smoldering is turned off. Manual watering, due to humidity.
This time I expect - once again a 
. Hammer hard
I also have a cool cappuccino mug now.
Wonderful, and just in time for my birthday at the end of February, the dehumidifier from AC Infinity is coming to the European market.
With that, I can then safely bring the flowering period of the three to a close.
Now it’s rapidly approaching the end of the year, and I wish everyone a few calm days. Greetings from Pflanzenpaule

Don’t fuss so much about the two plants @Pflanzenpaul
I think they look good considering the circumstances, they haven’t tipped over and will yield soon
From my side, just a snapshot per tent.
The small ones flowering Day 14
Soon defoliating and so on.

@KilliczGe Oh yes, I do have to nitpick a bit.
The plant description simply states about the 2 Bubble Gum. And what they’ve already put me through. I can only shake my head.
And the trouble doesn’t end, because now the next problem arises.
It’s nice that Lady 1 is growing taller again. In the last 4 days and flowering week three, I suspect, it has gained 6 cm, which corresponds to an average of 1.5 cm per day. Since it’s already a good 30 cm smaller than the other one, that works out, and if necessary, I could remove the base to lower it due to the light distance.
Lady 2, as scrawny as it appears to me, is still gaining a lot of height.
Here, it gained 10 cm in 4 days, so 2.5 cm per day, which it’s still adding.
And now it’s getting tight with the lamp distance.
Measured at 89 cm today, plus the pot, it’s now 120 cm tall. With a 45 cm distance, the lamp hangs at 165 cm. It can go 5 cm higher, and then there’s the AKF.

He who asks for nothing will not be disappointed.
Today, some defoliation was in order in my small tent.
Before
After
My improvised exhaust and the cool outdoor temperatures caused the moisture under the canopy to rise, and so I decided, today on Day 15 of flowering, to do some lollipopping and remove the RLF (Giant Light Eaters) from the top.
They should now direct the rest of the stretch to where it’s still needed.
Dantes Inferno Mile High Dave cut is a female. Yay 
Everyone also got water and feed (1.5l for the 16l pots and 1l for the 12l pot)
Over there, things are going well. The cold temperatures are playing along nicely, so the air is around 24 instead of 26 degrees.
Good for ripening.
Big Bud
Permanent Marker
Purple zkittlez 2
Purple zkittlez 1 (10 days less flowering time)
Cereal Milk
And the Tangerine Dream, still in stretch, Day 15, will be trimmed around Day 21 as usual.
They also got water and feed there today
8l mixture into the tray. That works quite well for me
The obligatory 1-2 weeks until harvest are probably coming now.
Regards to all

There might be something to
“he who asks for nothing will not be disappointed!”
To each their own.
But you’ve really defoliated the poor girls, - you pervert.
In a week, everything will have grown dense again. But first, it’s very helpful to force down the humidity.
On Day 15 of flowering, the whole thing will still stretch for a few more days. Looks very good again.
In the other pictures, beautiful fat buds are already appearing and showing themselves.
Far back in the left corner, I believe it’s the Cereal Milk, that really catches the eye. These dark leaves and the white coating on top. As if it had spent the night outdoors in sub-zero temperatures. .
Overall, there’s some seriously hefty growth happening. Awesome.
I’m off again, I had visitors and, well, today is the 30th wedding anniversary.
That’s why it’s a bit quieter here and in my garden today.
Have a nice day to you and the others here.
Greetings from Paule

Enjoy it @Pflanzenpaul and @KilliczGe, it also looks amazing in your tents.
For me today, BT 85 / W 13, the time had come. The axe came into the forest and chopped everything down.
The larger leaves were removed and the rest is now hanging in the tent to dry at 61% humidity and 14.3 °C.
There were some nice buds among them.
I also took a picture of the root ball, as there were some comments here and there that they would suffocate and didn’t have enough space to grow properly. However …
Grown well, nice and white, perfectly healthy and just as it should be. Now it’s time to wait two weeks and then it will be weighed. Afterwards, curing will follow.
I wish you all a nice Sunday afternoon and continued enjoyment with the most beautiful hobby in the world.
