Show off your Ladies

And here I am again, and the day is drawing to an early evening. Greetings!
So my words became deeds, and I checked the three environments.
Let’s start with the third and smallest environment, the “Propagator.”
The three Cookie OG clones still look alive today, on day 9 of rooting. Three days ago, I peeked into the lower part of the stems, and unfortunately, there were no roots visible yet.
Tomorrow I have to empty the solution anyway and refill with fresh water after cleaning. So, I didn’t disturb the internal climate today.
In the box, the temperature is 23.5 degrees Celsius and the RH is 85%. The water has a temperature of 24.9 degrees Celsius. All good.



I think they still look like they did on day 1. I’m curious if roots will be visible tomorrow. I didn’t use Clonex this time.

With the Bubble Gum, things went quickly. Although the top layer of soil is bone dry.
But when I put the long stick a few cm deep into the soil, it was in the green, and even deeper, in the blue. So, at least in the root zone, both pots were saturated.
Therefore, I poked three deep holes in each pot with the stick so that the soil can ventilate better.
One should use what one can more often to prevent overwatering. Unfortunately, I haven’t used it for a while.
No wonder they sometimes show that something is missing or too much. Hahahaha, there I go again :joy: .
I’m quite high right now and able to laugh heartily at my own foolishness.

Alright, on to the next round. The three in the vegetative phase. Yep, what I saw right away!!!
They don’t need water, because they had too much :rofl: 2 days ago.
So here too, I poked deep with the long test stick. Three deep holes in the soil of each pot, so air can get in and moisture can evaporate.
Like in life; sometimes you have too much and sometimes nothing!
Well, with the plants, it’s like that again.
What is too much for one, is good for another. And I saw that clearly.
Today, day 37, vegetation day 19, the Jamaican shows clear signs of overwatering.
The Strawberry shows less of it, and the Cookie OG shows none at all and has also gained 11 cm in height since the last measurement 4 days ago.
Today at 38 cm height. The Strawberry only gained 4.5 cm, now at 30 cm height.
The Jamaican was at 35 cm today and gained 6 cm despite overwatering, but it shows it on some leaves.
To get everything back on track faster, in addition to poking holes, the temperature was raised a bit, so they are now under 27.3 degrees Celsius, RH at 62.4%, which should help with faster evaporation and uptake.
The lamp distance was readjusted and reduced to 45 cm from the light, and the dimmers are at 50%, which should now be sufficient for the last days of vegetation.
I took a fan leaf from the very bottom, from the underwatering period, which remained somewhat yellowish, from the Strawberry and examined it more closely under a microscope. I didn’t find any critters or their traces, but I still sprayed this Leaf Coat on the plants and from below. A plant fortifier against insects and harmful leaf fungi. Provides 14 days of protection from dirt :joy:
Overall, looking back 10 days, the three have generally grown quite well, apart from minor things that didn’t go smoothly, and everything so far is still treatable.
The Jamaican Pearl today



the lower yellow was still from the too-dry phase :rofl:
The Strawberry Kush

is increasingly taking the shape of a small Christmas tree. I initially wanted to tie down and pull the lower branches outwards a bit. But somehow I like the shape. It’s probably just its way of growing.
The Cookies OG



you can see that I’ve also declared war on the ground cover and really trimmed that stuff down.
As soon as it’s time to water, there will be smaller amounts again, and I will expose the soil around the stems and work 1% solid fertilizer into the soil around the stems of each pot. Then cover again with trimmings.

Then, have a nice evening and a big thank you again to those who gave me their votes. It shows me that my contributions are also appreciated.
Keep up the great work! Greetings from Pflanzenpaule

Hello @herr_gruen.
Greetings to you. When trimming, I always have a utility knife in addition to the scissors, which I use to repeatedly scrape the scissors clean and collect

Hey there Growlings :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::victory_hand:,

So, the last :cookie: are eaten. Christmas is over, The new year starts slippery. :snowflake: But we still have the :sun_with_face: - shine in our hearts, in the :camping: and in the :lungs: :ok_hand::cloud::cloud:

In this joyful spirit. I’d like to congratulate our 3 Award winners here

Great job Growlings I’m happy for you !!!
And on that note, I’ll just smoke one for you!!! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::ok_hand::cloud::cloud:

As for me, when it comes to growing, everything needs to get back in order first. :pensive_face:
December with all its festivities and preparations unfortunately made my own grow suffer a lot. Since I take my dad role a bit more seriously on such days. My ladies in the “dungeon” were only dealt with incidentally. Which they took very badly. That’s why a lot needs to happen again. So that I’m properly back on track.

But I am very enthusiastic about your work. Beautiful pictures you share here!! :+1::+1:

With that, I’m out for today. I wish you a nice rest of the weekend. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::victory_hand:

Thank you @Dbe
I’m eagerly awaiting the announcement :slight_smile:

Goulash is being made today. From beef :cut_of_meat:

A brief look.




All good.
Growing and thriving for more Growlogs :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

One flower of the purple zkittlez has a strip completely without trichomes

I think it was leaning against another flower or something like that. But interesting.

Wow @KilliczGe, an all-rounder. Not only do you have a knack for gardening, but he’s also photogenic and understands cooking. Excellent! :joy:
Well, slowly, almost at the end, the problem with the Eco Witt sensors is slowly coming to my attention too.
I had them running on factory settings. I should have calibrated them in comparison with the deep tester (something similar to a tensiometer).
As a result, they actually only showed the upper soil area but not the lower third of the soil in the pots. And even today, in the lower third, it’s no longer overwatered but still in the upper green moisture range.
Oh well, the Bubble Gums are still developing further, but now with longer breaks between watering.
But it won’t be the harvest of harvests. Things just didn’t go smoothly, and I’ll have to keep a better eye on that with the other soils and pots accordingly in advance at the beginning. Those in growth are still saturated with water, and I’ve already calibrated two of the sensors here. The Blumat Digital also has a somewhat low level, but not far from perfect anymore, and then it’ll continue in smaller doses when the time comes.
Since the autoflowers will dry out completely for a few days, meaning their soil, I’ll have to water everything again in very gentle stages during the next watering so that it can be absorbed everywhere in the soil. So, about 200 ml every 10 minutes until saturated. Generally, I find this Bio Bizz All Mix to be absolute crap for me personally. Nothing else will go into it for me. Even though there are people who swear by it, opinions here generally diverge sharply, as there are increasing numbers of those who have not had good experiences with Bio Bizz.
Oh well, it was an experience I don’t need to repeat. My opinion!
But that has absolutely nothing to do with the watering stuff, because that’s my own mistake! :joy:
I think another mistake was closing the drain openings at the bottom with coco mats to prevent pests from having a platform from below. I’m going back to putting sexy hold-ups with lace over the bottom of the pots. For my ladies. :rofl: Just for show! Hehehehe.
Anyway, I took photos of the Bubble Gums again today.
They are on day 62 today, at the end of the 9th week.
The specifications say “germination to harvest 9 weeks” again! Be vigilant, because further down it says “Flowering time 9 weeks”.
And we know that autoflowers automatically go into flower when their roots have space, usually in the third or even fourth week. A smaller pot, lack of root space, can make that happen a bit earlier.
Never mind that, what I’m getting at is;
3 weeks of growth then flowering, which takes 9 weeks, brings you to a total of 12 weeks.
Because tomorrow marks 9 weeks of total standing time, they don’t look finished to me today.
So, let’s see how much longer they’ll stay, and I think based on the calculation of the information, it’s another three weeks. Today is Flower Day 37, in the sixth flowering week, which means 9 weeks from germination to harvest have been reached, but not yet 9 flowering weeks. I think the information here suggests that it’s achievable in a total of 9 weeks in hydroponics. But in soil, then 9 flowering weeks. That’s what I think.
Oh well, whatever, something’s happening.
Today, Bubble Gum 1 looks like this: :backhand_index_pointing_down:



All things considered, for Flower Day 37, the buds have developed nicely, apart from the fact that at times their feet got too wet.



She’s also purpling a bit more than Lady 2 and is slightly behind the other in pistil coloration.
Bubble Gum 2: :backhand_index_pointing_down:


I find her buds are already a bit darker and also less purple.
Only the leaf tips, I don’t know if it’s too much fertilizer or too much moisture in the root zone. That’s why I’m watering less often and testing every day so I only give water when it falls out of the green zone. In addition, according to the plan, from the 6th flowering week, the fertilizer dose should be at full blast. I will increase it here, but only divided into two applications for now.
She also depletes herself noticeably faster than Lady 1. So she’s really sucking out her leaves, which I attribute to the too-wet root zone.



In any case, there will be something new to smoke, true to the motto:
If you have hash in your pocket - you have something to snack on! :joy:

Stop (there’s more)
I think I’m a bit of a water fetishist, which is why I often mean too well. :innocent:
And so I still got to enjoy handling water around me.
The propagator today, Day 10, with the Cookies OG clones in the rooting phase.
I decided to leave them for a bit longer but had to perform a cleaning ritual and refill with new water.
According to the description, you should do that every 10 days. According to the description, roots should also be visible after a few days. Well, I didn’t see anything on one, and on two, something is starting to grow. So this time there was only stale tap water, and this time, as a root stimulant, I added some Clonex Gel to the 5 liters of water, stirred it in, and the pump distributes the rest and sprays it where it should go.


All disassembled and cleaned

and the water is already being brought back to temperature, and you can still see some of the Clonex.

Clone 1, formerly the main top of Cookies OG, also stands there like a champ on Day 10 and has no flaws.

and as the saying goes? Better late than never! The good piece begins to root.
Hey - that’s awesome!
And that’s why I gave it life support, otherwise it would have ended up in the trash. :grin:

For Clone 2



it still looks alive because nothing is drooping or stunted! Could appearances be deceiving here?

it shows no roots, nothing, perhaps significantly magnified, beginnings of root formation might be visible. But since it’s been running for more days now, I left it in because it doesn’t seem dead to me.

Clone 3


Even on day 10 after removal from the mother plant, it stands perfectly, nothing is drooping, and there are no flaws except for the corners I removed so they would transpire less or not at all through the leaves, because roots are needed.

and roots are emerging from clone 3, so 2 out of 3 clones look good.
And whether it’s 2 or 3, I’ve left the stock as is, and clone 2 has another chance to root.


at some point, the temperature was almost back in the desired range, so there was no cold shock to fear, and I re-placed the tray with the pots to

quickly finish it all off. Light was back on!
Now I’ll see if I can keep them in there for another 10 days, then 14 days to three weeks in Light Mix, during which time I’ll activate new Living Soil and hope the Bubble Gum is ready so I can put the clones into their large pots with fresh Living Soil.
Have a nice evening, and tomorrow the large order should arrive, after the DHL crew once again didn’t manage it on Saturday.
Many greetings from Pflanzenpaule

That’s right.

@Growstarter40

Let it grow directly in the bowl? Or decoratively repotted?
The small clay pot is what makes the whole thing interesting :slight_smile:
Good job (from one bonsai to another)

Here yesterday, after the goulash and before the coma, there was a sweet dessert in the form of Cereal Milk.

What a taste, it’s really always something different from the other strains.

Good morning everyone

@KilliczGe, I’m still choosing seeds at RQS. I came across the Cereal Milk strain. Where did you buy yours from? You had a problem with that strain herming, right?

3 Likes

I ordered these from Seed Supplier.
However, I don’t know where they source their seeds.
Since RQS is the stated breeder of cereal milk? The probability is high that they are the same. One doesn

Ok, thanks for that. I was looking for the vanilla flavor, which I’m missing in my assortment. However, I’ve now found another strain that contains vanilla, Wedding Crusher, so Cereal Milk is out of the closer selection for now as I intend to breed seeds from it and possibly cross something new. So far, I’ve had no problems with the genetics of my strains and don’t want to cross in anything wrong.

I can’t say anything about Wedding Crusher,
However, we also have “ice cream cake” from the dispensary here, and the cereal milk from our own production is a lot more intense.

Feel free to report on what the Crusher is doing.

I received the entire RQS catalog as an offline version at some point :joy::joy:
That doesn’t make it any easier

RRRRRRR @KilliczGe
man, they sparkle and look so firm and dense.
Did the coma come???
Such really beautiful nuggets. I think you were hit quite badly by it.
Happy start to the week.
For me, today’s delivery will probably be postponed again to God knows where. For the second time, something that was supposed to arrive on Saturday and then today, is only listed as an ‘estimated delivery’ for today but not updated to ‘out for delivery’, that bunch of pigs.
I’ve already given them a piece of my mind.
Hope they can handle criticism. Their own fault.
I need to check again how moist the soil is. I must be allowed to water again soon :rofl: I don’t dare anymore Hahahaha.

Already planning properly. Oh well, Cereal Milk is actually a good idea. But how much THC is it specified to have? Because it would be interesting for me, as long as it doesn’t get close to 30%. That would be a bit too strong for me, the grandpa. :rofl:
I’ve actually only got 4 x 25 l fabric pots in mind so far.
I want to see if these fabric pots are of better quality than the ones from Autopot.
With two of them, after one run, I already had to repair the seam here and there, and they weren’t even in the washing machine, just soaked in water and hydrogen peroxide and brushed a bit wet and dry.
Have fun with your selection and a good start to the week.
Best wishes from Paule.

It was a mini-cutting, first rooted in a yogurt cup and then directly into the bonsai pot and into flower… the clay pot was once for mini cacti, its bottom broke off. That way

I’ve often read that some people dry in a wine cooler. But yours doesn’t cool. Why? Broken? :joy:
Hmm, in principle, as far as the fans in it are concerned, it’s actually no different from Cannatrol.
It’s definitely good for testing, and then put it in the cellar or somewhere where it stays a bit below 20 degrees anyway, and in the Cannatrol, there’s just a can with a sponge for humidification, which you can transfer here one-to-one.
Frozen ice packs, constantly exchanged at the very bottom, provide coolness that is circulated by the fans, and the sponge provides the missing humidity, around 60%.
Then it should run optimally. I would test the drying and curing with only a part of the harvest the first time. I’m really curious if it works perfectly. One strain, I think it was the Amnesia from the last harvest, I dried half in the Cannatrol, cured it for 8 days, and then put it in a Grove Bag. The other part was dried in the tent, I think for about 13 days, and then also in a Grove Bag.
But I haven’t tested what the difference is yet.
The next time I harvest, I’ll have to take some separately from each one to test it. It looks nice and is definitely a bargain.
It’s definitely possible to do something with it with a bit of effort. Greetings from Paule

Hehehehe the Purpel Queen, left-center, I have it here. :joy:
I’m curious about its colors when the time comes.
Weeding Crusher sounds good, I myself have the Weeding Cake. And that one as a Photo and Auto. So with the Cake, it strongly reminds me of Lava Cake, which also became a brutally beautiful plant with many thick buds.
Critical is supposed to yield enormously well and a lot. Probably a strain I’ll add to my collection.
Now I’ll see if the neighbor is there and I’m going to change his heating thermostat. The old owner has once again requested my skills and there’s still something to work on in the neighbor’s hallway, and I’m happy to grab a few extra bucks there. So I’m off for now. Have fun here. Paule

Yeah, I asked why it doesn’t cool.
