Show off your Ladies

Here’s another look into my private forest from me. Overall, it looks like this

Fat Gorilla :gorilla:

Pink Runtz

Sherbet Queen

Green Gelato

In the lab, there’s no big news, the :cherry_blossom: are pollinated and the seeds are growing.

With the collected pollen, I pollinated 4 :popcorn: Buds of the Pink Runtz to create my own Special Runtz.

I wish everyone a happy holiday.

Second tent is set up and was immediately stocked.

Special Kush 1 has now been harvested and is being gently ventilated.
First time drying in the tent. :joy:

Greetings to everyone :victory_hand:t3:

Hey folks, it’s a bit hard for me to find time for here right now, and it looks like this might be the last grow for now if the things weighing on me aren’t resolved soon.
Following the change of ownership of the house where I’ve lived for 19 years, the base rent for all parties increased on July 1st.
Due to price increases everywhere, it was only a matter of time until it arrived here too. Even after the increase, the price per square meter is still only 6.41 € compared to 9-11 € per square meter in the surrounding area.
Due to several severe chronic illnesses:
I suffer from COPD (risk of shortness of breath in cold/humid conditions) as well as severe damage to my entire spine starting from the cervical spine:
chronic multisegmental osteochondrosis with signs of activation, disc protrusions with accompanying uncarthrosis. There is compression of corresponding nerve endings and a narrowing of the spinal canal (with only barely preserved perimedullary cerebrospinal fluid reserve space in some areas).
Often leading to great pain attacks!
The agency completely rejects the rent increase and has also reduced the already approved ancillary costs.
Now that the kids have been out for 5 years, my caretaker job was terminated by the new owner. Because he didn’t want one.
Suddenly, the apartment is too big and too expensive. I’m now short 200 euros monthly for the rent. This means accumulating rent debts, = a threat to my livelihood.
I naturally cannot let that stand.
Because there is a subjective unreasonableness of a move. Due to the nerve compression and spinal canal narrowing, severe physical strain (packing boxes, carrying furniture, renovating) is medically completely impossible and dangerous. A move is impossible. The apartment is my health sanctuary.
So I’ve been spending days trying to find a specialist lawyer here.
Getting a legal aid certificate at court, filling it out, and going back with documents.
And I have to go to the administrative court again for interim legal protection, and the appeal has already been filed.
But it’s all really taking a toll on my nerves. Because the spinal ‘shit’ isn’t the only thing either.
When I then had to go to the public health physician through the agency and was declared unfit for work, a transmission to the city administration for basic income support was negligently delayed, forgotten, denied, or whatever.
And on top of that, my health insurance was cancelled despite severe illnesses.
I was only spared a mountain of debt because my wife could include me in her family health insurance, which is now also supposedly going to be abolished from above - by this supposedly brilliant policy of Merz and Klingbeil.
I see a future with severe illnesses without insurance, which could result in me no longer receiving vital medications, strong painkillers, and blood pressure reducers.
Not only did they make cuts on me;
my reporting periods for the pension fund were also denied.
Now that it’s about money, my existence. Everything.
I have to spend all my time initiating everything so that all these unlawful restrictions end in a court case.
Many reasons speak in my favor. And they will feel that.
They have to make up for years of missing reporting periods. To resume my own health insurance and to actually cover the full rent costs.
Unfortunately, there are really nasty people in this world. Acting without sense or reason.
I urgently need to defoliate the plants in the big tent, because they won’t give me much longer, and the flowering time must start earlier than expected.
The plant is almost uncanny.
Just yesterday (still in growth, Day 18 today) I measured the heights and set the lamps to a 45 cm distance. I did that again today.
The Mexican and S. Diesel went from 38 cm yesterday to 42 cm today, and the Kalini Asia from 30 cm to 35 cm. I’m currently keeping the reservoir filled to about 30 liters.
Yesterday I had to refill 11 liters, and today another 14 liters. A brutal amount goes out every day. The Sour Diesel is the only one on manual watering, but the water also comes from the reservoir. 7 liters in the last 3 days just for her. And her sensor is at a comfortable 56% now. Ideal! She just needs a lot. Because she’s growing a lot.
And 4-5 cm of height growth per day is already enormous.
I hope I find the peace and time this weekend to prepare the three for flowering. Defoliate everywhere, remove lower small branches, and then a net.
Just to spread out one or two shoots a bit lower down, because overall, this time they should just grow nice and tall.
But because they are predominantly Sativas. You never know exactly where the journey will go.
Just so I can push something down if necessary.
Day 36, growth Day 18, the Kalini Asia is at 35 cm height today but sturdy, and despite the hardest start, she looks really chic.
If she weren’t a good 8 days younger than the other two, she would be optimally at the same height. But she’s catching up.




The Mexican Sativa Day 44 growth Day 18


And the Sour Diesel, same time, same height, as the Mexican, only I already took a few leaves from her today; with watering, 3.5 liters – one liter from below and 2.5 liters from above. Tomorrow, her residual soil moisture will be back at 40%.
Quite intense, but after a bit more defoliation, the water requirement should decrease again. Lots of green starting. :rofl:
And they haven’t gotten the nettle ferment yet. That will come at the start of the stretch in a few days; when they reach 50-56 cm in height, the 12-hour light day begins.


Here are two more pictures

Visible, same height Diesel and Mexican.
And all three together again.


Yep, Gizmo was still a puppy then :joy:
I think the automatics, those two are just a side issue now. I’m not doing anything with them, and they’re growing poorly. The flowering stretch is underway, they are supplied by Auto Pot. I’ll see what comes of them. Compared to these ones here, they look like a joke, which must clearly be due to the Dope Lite.
It seems to me there’s no fertilizer in it. But flowers are already forming, only not much will come of it in the end. Oh well. I’ve been wrong about autos before.
They’re not really my thing.
When planting, I always push them down sideways. It also grows quite profusely.
I wish you all much success.
Now we’ll have to wait and see how everything ends for me. But one thing is clear;
he who doesn’t fight has already lost.
I don’t like to lose. And these are things that must now take priority.
Take care! Greetings from Pflanzenpaule

Oh man.
That really doesn’t sound good.

It’s completely clear that you have to focus all your attention on that now.

If you need to talk, reach out.

If not, you’ve got this :flexed_biceps:t3:

Here it’s still chaos and setting up, rearranging, tidying up, and back again.

Warm regards :victory_hand:t3::face_blowing_a_kiss: @Pflanzenpaul

Everything you have to report sounds really bad. I’m crossing my fingers that you get all of that sorted out in your favor. It’s really outrageous what they’re pulling off here.

Sending you a big hug and lots of positive energy. I’m sorry you’re going through this, but I’m sure you’ll find a solution soon. Have you ever considered growing medicinal mushrooms? Some of them might be really helpful. If not, it could be something to explore in the future.

week 5 of photoperiod change, day 31, all good today, luckily. I almost lost all the plants due to an extreme heatwave and almost 3 days without watering. When I opened the grow tent, they all looked dead. At 40ºC, all the middle and lower leaves were completely dry and dead, the upper ones stuck to the stem… I almost had a heart attack. I truly thought they wouldn’t make it. Unfortunately, the phone with the photos broke, and right now I’m not even sure if I took photos because I was too worried trying to save them. This happened exactly 13 days ago, on the 23rd of last month.
I rehydrated immediately with distilled water only, 1ml/L of algae (extract), and 1ml/L of cal-mag, distributed in 6 waterings every 15 minutes. I left all the leaves, even the dead ones. I didn’t touch anything that day to avoid causing them the slightest stress, because honestly… they looked dead. Within a few hours, the upper branches started regaining turgor, and I was happy to see that the roots hadn’t completely died. The next day I watered again only with water, cal-mag, algae, humus, nothing strong, and little by little it seems like nothing happened. How lucky I was…


In the back are the most Sativa ones, the 3 Banana Tropicanna, all taller, beautiful buds (colas) attached to the stem, long, slender, very nice.
The 3 closest are the Banana Cream, the ones that suffered the most. The one on the left is full of resin, a lot. The middle one’s flowers are more delayed. The one on the right is starting to develop trichomes; it is less stable than the Banana Tropicanna.
Today I had to install the carbon filter; they already smell too much. I already installed the new 60W LM301H 3000K 660 UV IR panel. I think it’s perfect for the bottom part of the grow tent for vegetative growth, mothers, clones, and autoflowers. Additionally, I already bought another LMH301H EVO 85W panel to complement it, as the idea of dividing the grow tent horizontally was great. Now I can have the bottom part at 18/6 with 145W and the top part at 12/12 with 240W. I was worried about light leaking into the top part and interrupting the cycle, but by checking the transparent screen of the tent every day, I confirmed that no light passes through and they are completely in the dark.
Now I have under: 1 Permanent Marker, 2 Picchu, 1 Gorilla Glue, 1 Auto Skunk, 1 Forbidden Fruit, 1 Tropicanna Poison F1, 1 Amnesia F1 from the Ganja Farmer friends.

Here are a few more pictures from me today. First from the lab,

the Royal “Seed Donor” Runtz

It doesn’t smell, resin is only found in small amounts on the bracts, but the seeds are growing vigorously.

I’m curious about the next run, how it will smell if it’s allowed to grow unpollinated. :thinking:

In the big tent, the Fat Gorilla

It’s slowly starting to develop a floral aroma

and is getting nice and resinous.

The Pink Runtz

I’ll probably have to take it out soon and sniff it, I can’t reach it like this

and the same goes for the Sherbet Queen

and finally the Green Gelato

simply magnificent, and even though the temperatures are between 27 and 30 °Celsius, it started to change color two days ago.

I didn’t expect it to take on such a beautiful color in this heat.

And finally, a panoramic view

Have a nice Sunday evening, everyone.

Good evening, I actually wanted to post some pictures. But when I have to read “Upload is being processed” for what feels like 5 minutes, I’m already done with it.

I also had these problems some time ago, and it lasted for a week.
Clear the cache, then the app data, and finally delete the app.
Then re-download it, log in, and it will work again.
Especially Samsung Android got stuck due to the latest updates.
I was able to solve it this way.
Regards.

And as if the whole move hadn’t been pure stress already. Into the tent and on day 31 of flowering, I followed up with the lollipopping.

Cereal Milk will hopefully forgive it.

From now on, she will be left in peace regarding this. Only removing a few leaves now and then.

Happy growing

New Samsung was wiped clean, everything installed from scratch. Don’t feel like trying it again and again. If I delete the app, data and cache are automatically deleted. Nothing is left when uninstalling.

You have some really nice pictures there.
In others, you have the same lot of yellow in the leaves as I’ve had a few times now.
Man, getting a lawyer is just a nightmare.
Two have requested documents, and I haven’t received a reply yet.
Oh well, the objection is running for now, and the first official complaint is underway.
Another one will follow due to my denied health insurance coverage and the missing reporting periods for pension contributions.
A phone call today.
The lady has no clue, but she’ll get it when questions come from above.
I also have a certificate from the doctor and have to go back to court this week for the order for preliminary injunction.
Then we’ll wait to see how the judge views it.
The two automatics are awful, and it seems to me like there’s no fertilizer and no life in the Dope Lite.
I added some Bio Bizz fertilizer today, but it will probably be the smallest harvest I’ve ever had. Fascinatingly, the Amnesia Skittlez was supposed to be a good half meter taller than the Wedding Cake. But it’s now slightly taller.
Since yesterday, I also have 2 Amnesia Skittlez germinating. In cheap seedling soil, each in a 2-liter pot.
When they grow, I’ll then put them in flower soil, where the tomato plants are currently turning into monsters. I’ll fertilize with Bio Bizz if necessary.



My wife is conjuring up a strawberry cake. She was able to pick many, many sweet strawberries, and many more are still to come.
Today is Day 48 for the Mexican and S. Diesel. Growth Day 22 and Day 40, growth Day 22 for the Kalini Asia.
They were properly thinned out 2 days ago and the net was installed. Yesterday, they received another top dress with various rock flours and dolomite lime. On Friday, they will also get the nettle ferment in their water.
All three are 47 cm tall today.
Since Sunday, I’ve been pushing the highest ones one mesh further on the net, keeping everything at the same height for now.
Today is a 15-hour light day because I’m now reducing it by one hour daily and dimming up by 2% every 2 days. So the dimmers are now at 56%.
Light distance is a bit complicated.
The lamps hang at an 11-degree angle to each other for better illumination of the area.
Due to the angle, the lamps are 45 cm apart on the right and left sides and 50 cm in the middle.
So the distance is slightly higher than before, to get a bit more node spacing. After defoliation, I saw that they were a bit too dense.

Friday, the first 12-hour light day, I’ll start with 70% light dimmer and keep the fastest shoots on the net for the first week, and then they can continue to grow taller.
Sour Diesel


Kalini Asia


Mexican Sativa


And all three together again.



I think, as strong as they already are, they will soon grow considerably taller again.
For the start of the stretch, I’ll move the lamps 5 cm closer again.
I wish you a nice evening.
Greetings from Paule
