Congratulations, buddy, you showed your ex-boss what’s what. First wanting to screw someone over and then still wanting to cash in. Now he has his burden to carry, and for you, it’s sunshine. I’m genuinely happy for your success. 
@KilliczGe
Yo man, that looks really frosty on your fruits again. And I’ve got something nice for even more success. Especially with us being organic, with soil life and strong sun imitation, I’m increasingly understanding the reason when, from week 6/7 of flowering, the supposed ‘juice’ runs out and leaves turn yellow.
The reason is when you push the limits with light and photosynthesis. In living soil, nutrients are not always consistently available because it depends on the activity of soil organisms. Nutrient availability often fluctuates. With less light intensity, that works well. But when the plant needs more due to very high light, problems arise as you can see with mine. But it’s nothing dramatic because the ladies are healthy in themselves. It’s more about a nutrient shift within the plant. Due to my extreme, borderline lighting, there was a lack of magnesium here, which can be clearly seen in some areas of the leaves. Yellow between the veins, and the veins themselves still green. The magnesium requirement simply increases with high intensity. Very often, or almost always, observed, especially in living soil. It should have occurred to me earlier that with the Jamaican, the leaves were standing up like praying hands. Due to too much light. Now there were corrections today.
The lamp above the Jamaican on the left and the Cookies OG on the left side were dimmed down to 75%. On the right, the Strawberry is just barely keeping up with photosynthesis, so I stayed at 80%. I distributed 1 gram of Magnesium Sulphate and some sulfur to each of the three pots, which the soil organisms also really like. But for watering today, the soil was still moist enough for me, so today I only watered with 500 ml each from below into the trays, and in each, 0.5 gr of Magnesium Sulphate was dissolved in the water so that the ladies could absorb it directly today. Additionally, I’m now only giving smaller amounts of water to keep the sensors around 50 - 60% because consistent soil moisture is even better for the soil bacteria than constantly adding water and then letting it dry out.
Now, for my Cookies OG and Strawberry, it’s definitely the last three weeks. I’m curious to see what the buds will gain and how resinous they will become. The aroma is now steadily increasing. I probably don’t have to worry about bud rot this time. The daytime temperature no longer goes above 26 degrees, and the RH is now set to 43 - 45%, and at night, to get a little purple here and there, I keep the temperature at 18 - 19 degrees. Today I also started a compost tea again with leaves and small animal bedding, among other things, which will find its final rest as fresh mulch for the clones. With the Cookies OG, I removed dead leaves again today and those that were no longer firmly attached. The fact that it looks so ‘exhausted’ (sucked out) is also largely due to genetics; Girl Scout Cookies is well-known for a strong fade towards the end. But the buds are getting crazier and crazier. I took some more pictures today. RRRRRR how frosty, sticky, and amazing the aroma will be. To begin with, the three are on day 96 today and flowering day 46, and it’s slowly heading towards the end of the 7th flowering week. It’s now entering the final phase where the buds thicken and a rich amount of resin is formed again. 
And the power drink is running!
Cookie OG
A lot will still happen because the pistils haven’t rolled into the flowers yet
and new pistils are still emerging.
I’m curious to see what the magnesium application will still bring, and for the start of the 8th flowering week, the last tea to refresh the soil life one last time.
The Strawberry, in turn, is enjoying the very high light intensity, and the light distribution also suits her very well, which can be clearly seen in the flower distribution. Somehow it looks like Sativa colas. But it is an Indica dominant strain.
The picture shot from the left side, over the Jamaican.
Here too, many new pistils are still coming, and with them many calyxes, which in turn will still thicken. A lot of girth will still be added, also quite a bit of resin which you can already see extending to the sugar leaves. Maybe I’ll even use a plant yo-yo so the lady doesn’t start to bend over.
These will once again be very dense, firm buds and guaranteed with a well-rounded aroma. In about 20 days, the two will be ready. Given 60 - 65 flowering days, I will reach the end around 63 to 68 days. A few more days that will show what else is coming. The Jamaican needs a few more days. It is also noted as Sativa dominant, but with a relatively short flowering time. But its journey is already going into 9 - 11 flowering weeks. And only now are the first 2 pistils beginning to turn orange/brown on her. All others are still light! Apart from her light stress, which I have now somewhat corrected, and the associated nutrient shift / magnesium deficiency, she is still developing well. The ‘pompoms’ (buds) are continuously increasing in size.
I strongly assume that she will still have an enormous bloom volume. Her resin production will also really take off.
To avoid stressing the ladies too much, I removed only a very few leaves from each. Air movement is already good around them. And with the Cookies OG, I only removed dead leaves that almost fell off just by touching them. In the end, minor deficiencies are the result of high light intensity in living soil, which is typical. But as long as the ladies themselves are healthy and give me plenty, everything is fine in the end. In the future, I must remember to add 1gr of Magnesium Sulphate per liter of water in the 6th flowering week to perform even better with 80% light. I probably won’t dispose of the soil from all three pots after the harvest. Because the soil is still very active. But I’ll add plenty of new worm castings and coco, then fertilize freshly and store moist for a few weeks. Mmmh, actually, I also took new pictures of Cookies OG Clones 1 and 2. This development is amazing. Cool. They have reached flowering day 8 in the second flowering week today.
The mulch is getting thinner and thinner. That’s why new stuff is already fermenting in the tea. Then new stuff will be added on top again. From above, you can no longer tell who is Clone 1 or 2.

Lets Grow - Colleagues, and the first or second hurdle has been overcome today.
In the morning, I checked the moisture sensors, and it’s time to water all the pots today. Simply to maintain a certain soil moisture.
A quick look into the clone box showed me that today, on day 9 of flowering, I’d rather tuck numerous shoots, wherever possible, under the Scrog again.
And here I’m tempted to keep the center a bit lower because that’s also where the highest PPFD prevails. This will be a balancing act, because the first priority is to try and achieve as uniform illumination as possible.
The dimmer was probably already a bit too high and intense, but luckily, it hadn’t caused any stress yet.
Measured values in the center this morning were up to 1300 µmol/s/m²!
Quite enormous at about 35 cm distance.
But also great, especially at the beginning of the flowering stretch, to slow down this stretch a bit.
So today, more Scrog training, repositioning the lamp, and setting it to 900 µmol/s/m².
I think it’s then time to let everything grow up after that.
On day 14 of flowering, I will perform a very light defoliation. That is, those leaves that shade or cover my Budsites.
Day 20: Lollipopping with proper defoliation, and then let them go!
And the place smells of cheese. Fresh from my garden kitchen - rennet.
The cheese is firm and no mold, and that’s how it should be. Today, there’s an extra splash into the water. Because the cheese has already separated!
After one day of heating (25.4 degrees) and aeration, the compost tea shows a very active phase.
Here, bacteria and fungi are multiplying wonderfully. But I’ll let it bubble for another 2 - 3 days!
Via top dressing, I will distribute 1g of Magnesium Sulphate, 1g of phosphorus rock dust with calcium, and 1g of Guano around the clone stems today.
The clones will surely gratefully accept this in the coming days.
I’m just a bit late again because the car needed another workshop visit.
14 months ago, the front ball joints/control arms were replaced.
For days now, there’s been the finest squeaking when steering and driving over bumps.
Easy, today there was a new ball joint on the right again. And everything runs smoothly again, and the best part: it was free because it was still under warranty, and he told me to come back in September so they can check both sides, so if there’s even the slightest squeak, the left side will also be done before the warranty expires in November.
A super fair service, which you don’t often enjoy these days.
Now I’m going to get to work and see how I can get most of it under the Scrog again.
So far, I must say, the clone run is going quite well, almost perfectly.
Healthy green foliage, no nutrient deficiencies, and no signs of stress.
Unfortunately, even a small mistake can have very unpleasant consequences within a short time.
That’s why I only praise at the end of the grow.
I’m now diving into my garden center. Stay High and have fun growing.

The tent was emptied today here.
I really didn’t want to complete the 90 days of flowering, that ruins the plans
Simply fantastic, this TangerineDream.
Now it’s hanging and will be roughly trimmed in the coming days, I didn’t feel like doing it anymore today,… because…
The big Bud is also hanging next to it, and so the tent is now free.
Clean it up and put the Auto from the 80s tent in there, cereal milk too. So that the community grow gets the space it deserves.
What a sight. Let’s see what the scale 
says in the end.
Here’s the smaller tent. The front two will soon move out, the back ones will move more to the center, and then it’s slowly heading towards the start of flowering. Maybe top all the shoots one more time. Let’s see

Things are happening fast for you again.
“Let’s see what the scale says in the end.”
I’m curious about that.
They are already incredibly thick.
For you, it’s okay and harvested like that.
I think so, my opinion!
They could have stood a few more days.
Because in some pictures, you can see that many pistils are still bright and standing firm, not rolled up.
As long as new ones keep coming, the bud is still swelling.
The buds would have become even fatter with even more power.
I’ve been in that spectrum a few times too.
If they dry well and slowly to the ideal point and have a slightly longer curing.
That really hits hard, uplifting and head-heavy.
Especially in the last three weeks of flowering, the buds increase enormously in size, and towards the end, there’s another resin push.
But yeah, already properly fat.
I thought you were working with living soil, soil life, fungi?
You’re holding a fertilizer into the picture!
It’s hard to tell what exactly it is.
They’re getting fatter and fatter for you. Awesome.
Yesterday, I probably “almost” overdid it with water for the big ones again.
There was some drain and the sensors were at 100%.
It happened because I thought the Strawberry and Jamaican could take 500 ml more water, and I added that along with some guano, rock phosphate with calcium, and a little more magnesium sulfate.
Per pot, I then had to remove about 150 ml from the saucers that they hadn’t absorbed.
Fortunately, the sensors were already down to 64 and 68% in the morning, again, and I’m now skipping watering for 3 days.
Saturday marks the start of the 8th week of flowering, and 2 are coming to an end.
The Jamaican is only just starting to color its pistils.
During the Scrog yesterday, the clones.
One shoot snapped when laying it down. But it wasn’t completely off, so I left it on the net.
Let’s wait and see if it recovers.
10 days ago, I set out an IMO trap for indigenous microorganisms that I want to harvest tomorrow, and I hope it worked.
Additionally, biochar is ready with some organic material.
Wood, straw from nature that I still need to turn into ash, which should also go in there.
Then it will be activated and refined with EM Active and urine. Stored airtight for a few weeks for the next soil mix.
That will be my fertilizer!
Have a good start to the day. Greetings from Paule

I work in combination, initially I prepare the soil to the best of my knowledge so that in the end I only adjust with fertilizers if I discover something.
Therefore, the grow fertilizer is still quite full in contrast to the Bloom bottle, as I already have a new liter in the cabinet because half of the one from the set is running out.
I call that feeding the starved soil.
You make compost tea, I milk the bottle 
in the end to keep the organisms happy.
Same goal, different path. As so often in our hobby

Many roads lead to Rome!
But you can see that it brings a lot.
The thing about running out of steam towards the end isn’t entirely correct.
It has a lot to do with light intensity. Lots of light, lots of photosynthesis, and then eventually the soil life can no longer provide what the plant needs even more.
Often it’s a magnesium deficiency, and consequently, a nutrient shift. The plants themselves, however, are still healthy.
Yeah, everyone has their little extra recipe. Fertilizing with Living Soil is becoming more and more common. I do that with Flo fertilizer somewhere too.
But now, towards the end, it wouldn’t do much or anything at all, because it also takes a few days for it to benefit the plants.
For the next run, in the 5th / 6th week of flowering, give 1 gram per liter of Magnesium Sulphate once.
I use this here 
It contains sulfur
I’ve had it in the cupboard for a while and was a bit unsure at first.
But especially the sulfur is very good for soil life.
Now, with the Cookies OG, I can’t get the leaves green anymore, but towards the end, it still has a bit more of what’s missing.
Actually, with 2 San Lights, I shouldn’t go above 75%. I’ve often experienced that above 80%, the soil life can no longer keep up.
Well, I don’t see compost tea as fertilization, but rather it always revitalizes the soil life and introduces new mycorrhizal Trichoderma spores.
In 2 days, the new tea will flow, and since I have nothing to do today, I’m going to build a worm bin.
For this, I took the mini water tank that was intended for Blumat. Since I’m not currently using them, the bucket was just sitting around, and it already has a tap at the bottom.
As you can see, somewhat;
I cut a plastic lid into shape, smoothed the edges with a cutter, and inserted wire mesh. This way, no worms will get to the very bottom later.
Under the plate, there’s 4 cm of space where water can collect.
I can let that drain gradually and add it to the watering water.
A bit of paper towel was the start, and now I’m shredding paper and cardboard.
A layer of moist cardboard follows, and later I’ll collect soil from molehills and mix it with compost soil. The black gold!
Small animal bedding, leaf remnants, a few blades of grass, and worm castings.
Then the earthworm habitat should be perfect.
Coffee grounds are already secured. Then the worms will follow, and with a bit of luck, I’ll always have fresh ones available soon.
Because having them in the pots also makes a difference.
Yesterday when watering, I found a hole in the soil with the Strawberry. It seems someone is still up to mischief there.
Then I have to see how much the rice in the trap is colonized.
It’s been outside for 12 days today. It’s perfect to put some rice directly into the worm habitat.
And I’m waiting to see how thick my flowers still get. Saturday marks the 8th week of flowering, and the clones are only on day 10 today.
I can’t believe the Cookies OG is supposed to take 60 - 65 days.
The pistils are already completely colored on day 48. Tomorrow I’ll examine the trichs under magnification again.
Now I’ll continue here with the worm bin. Best regards

Thanks for the hint, the suffix “sulfate” tells me that anyway
It’s structurally identical / another name for Epsom salt.
I really need to get some. But I have fewer problems with magnesium deficiency because of the dolomite that I mix in generously.
I also add extra bloom fertilizer (plant extracts, molasses, the usual) for the PK boost and the bloom booster (I mean amino acids and such stuff) because I believe in it
Because you never know, freestyling it, what the final mix in the soil will be. Over-fertilization is only visible when they’re big enough, just like under-supply.
For emergencies, I also have the mineral counterparts and flash clean for salt reduction in the cabinet.
In the end, the overall concept has to fit. And you just feel your way through it. It’s working out

Exactly, and that’s not easy.
Even too much of one can prevent the other from being absorbed.
The ash is now also cooling down. Some untreated wood burned with my grandson.
A part of the fine ash is already with the biochar.
The rest follows tomorrow. Then it will be put into a glass with a bit of organic material, with EM Aktiv and soil conditioner so that the biochar can get charged. A bit of pee is added to it, and I’m curious to see what

Since the 4x2 tent was now emptied, it was cleaned and left the living room, just like the second one now.
I spent hours yesterday getting the tents into the other room.
But it is done.
First, set up one tent, move plants over, then the second tent, everything reconnected, two plants back.
Before.
And yesterday after all that.
Chaos in the background, still being sorted out.. but everything is running again and the ventilation was connected to the tent with the fan.
I don’t have a second exhaust fan right now. Works wonderfully
And inside now like this.
Critical Kush and Special Kush 1 now have the entire 80s tent to themselves.
Soon they will be topped and the training net will be stretched. To a nice community grow.
And in the 2x4
Well. See for yourself.
I would venture to say there’s still room for 2-3 automatics. 
This Grape Soda auto is in its first week of flowering or so.
And don’t mind the Cereal Milk in the back corner

Yo man @herr_gruen
they have a very nice healthy color. A cool green.
Oops @KilliczGe
you certainly had a lot to do there.
Today I treated the clones with compost tea. But again, I didn’t take any pictures today because I did it in the big tent.
Tea was scheduled for tomorrow, and I thought, since it had been bubbling for a few days, I’d empty the bucket today. So, in the big tent today, each pot got half of what was planned for tomorrow.
This way I keep the soil moist and it doesn’t get too wet.
Flowering Day 50, the 8th week of flowering is underway.
Cookies OG
Fresh, light pistils are still emerging, and the already colored dark ones are now darkening from bottom to top.
A hell of a lot haven’t curled in yet and are still standing firm.
The Strawberry
It even has several new light pistils, and the buds are still getting bigger.
The Jamaican
Although battered by too much light, coupled with a strong fade.
It probably gets the fattest buds.
Some pistils are slowly getting color. It also takes the longest.
It will be another 3-4 weeks for her.
Today I gave her another 0.5 g of magnesium.
The homemade worm bin was populated with a good 20 earthworms today.
Some wet paper, coco, and coffee grounds were added.
In the end, I covered the whole thing with paper.
Let’s see how long the first feed lasts. Banana, strawberry, and a bit of lettuce.
I’m curious to see if it provides good soil with a lot of soil life.
And if all goes well, always my own worms, fresh for the pots.
Wish you a nice evening.

Yup.
And with all that, simply put the heating systems aside… forgotten that the cold basement is under every room. Well, just crawled back in, put the tube heater into the 80cm space and the two heating mats into the long one, the sensor says 16 degrees 2-3 cm above the soil in the substrate. First, both mats to 23 degrees, so that at least life is possible.
The grape soda auto is quite droopy. The lamp was also too high with too little power the longer the day went on, the more scatterbrained [I became] ..
The lamp handles the rest up top.
First, coffee and Dante’s Inferno
