I watered again today; actually, only water was planned, but due to the slightly lighter color of the leaves, I added some nettle slurry to the water after all. I’m currently assuming a slight nitrogen deficiency since I cut off their reserves. Due to the heatwave of the last few days, this time I wanted to avoid the plants sweating too much, so as not to risk bringing bud rot back into the tent. This time I’m also skipping lollipopping, so I can test the popcorn buds directly a few days after harvest. I can hardly wait for harvest day to be just around the corner

Oh dear, I’ve been scouring the internet for days.
Many lawyers don’t update their contact details online, and under the given number, you get everything else but the lawyer.
Generally, things are getting more screwed up everywhere.
Yesterday, I was in the backwater town of Lahnstein to get a doctor’s note, and my wife had to go in because of severe pain.
I rushed through and then waited with Gizmo for almost 2 hours, walking through the town. 
Nah - that’s not meant to be a complaint. The doctor is simply good and doesn’t mess around.
He also has a hell of a lot to do there.
Just before my wife came out, I then observed such a clueless idiot of a sheriff from the public order office.
Nothing better to do than give a woman a ticket with the saying, if she had parked on the street, he would have turned a blind eye.
But she was then barely with two tires of the passenger side on the sidewalk, which was still wide enough, even for wheelchair users.
Those were very expensive rolls or pastries then.
It doesn’t concern me directly, but what happened next, I haven’t experienced since the partial legalization. Unbelievable, this arrogant guy – 
I’ll just spare myself the rest!
So my wife finally comes out the door, and someone comes towards her.
She says to me, let’s each light a cigarette. She had a tube-filled cigarette, and I had my hand-rolled tobacco, and only tobacco.
Then we go to the car and finish smoking there.
Then the idiot comes and flat out asks if I’m smoking weed.
I held the cigarette out to him and asked if it looked like a joint!
He then said he had smelled it up front.
Yes, it’s partially legalized, but there’s a kindergarten up front.
I then said that I knew there was a kindergarten there. And besides, there are houses all around here, some with open windows, and the smell could come from anywhere else, and that since I was traveling by car,
I would be sensible enough not to get behind the wheel high.
That would be the next thing, said the stupid idiot.
If his nose was so brilliant, he should sniff my cigarette, I told him,
he didn’t want to.
Then go on, scram, and don’t fill my ears with such nonsense here.
What a jerk! I would have loved to punch him. They’re getting crazier everywhere.
But sitting in front of a kindergarten with a bottle of schnapps and a begging bowl is then OK.
Now it’s starting that you have to justify yourself if you smoke a cigarette in public. How antisocial!
They’re getting greedy for our money now, folks. Watch out.

Service dogs are provided within E.U. for citizens with physical handicapps & vision imapirment.
my intuition sayz there iz an opportunity here to begin a career as a service dog trainer, certainly there must be people in yer corner of da globe whom are seeking volunteers to house a service dog 
As for c.n.s. issues, my father in New York does a great job with spinal chord hormone therapy at his neurological clinic in New York… I mean construction workers, new york, it goes hand in hand, apples in da same basket.

the bigger ones, day 35 since the photoperiod change. 12/12
banana tropicana (L)
huge long buds, I love how they look, they don’t look like sativas, do they?
I was scared during pre-flower because of the stretch but… it turned out great, I love them.
the Banana Cream indicas, as usual, very compact, some foxtails which I don’t like at all… very difficult for light to penetrate, very very bushy. but it’s true that it’s full of trichomes and resin and they increase every day, it started weeks ago… they look like they’ll knock people out.
they are the 3 closest to the grow tent door, the middle one, I don’t know why, isn’t growing, it’s still the same as the last day of the stretch, it hasn’t advanced at all. last week I just let it go, now it’s been 2 weeks totally stunted, I’m going to throw it out at this rate, 14 days behind doesn’t seem viable to me, and it’s taking up space where I could open up the others more. the strange thing is that it was the best of the 3 Banana Cream plants during vegetative growth, I really thought it would be the best, but no, after the photoperiod change it ended up being the worst. maybe it never recovered from the day of extreme drought and heat, even though it was one of the least affected… I don’t know, maybe its roots, or it just couldn’t handle the shock. I’ve been checking for 2 weeks to make sure the damn thing doesn’t turn hermaphrodite, but that’s not the case, it just stayed stunted.
the little ones.
the little ones, I did apical pruning on them as soon as the first node appeared, they also have a homemade rooting hormone, Clonex-style, but for watering. I still don’t understand what I’m doing wrong with the clones, I think I put too many ppm of IBA-K, or I don’t know if I should add Deep Underground and algae, or one separately. I have no idea but the area ends up covered with soft, rotten gel, not with a bad smell but it falls apart. I prefer seeds but I would like to find a good mix of gel with IBA-K.

I have a new phone since today, I still need to get used to it. But the pictures are great. When I zoom in, I almost don’t need a microscope anymore.

Yeah, awesome.
See if you can activate macro mode or if it’s automatic 
Very nice pictures

Macro worked on the old phone, but the camera wasn’t very good. I haven’t seen that on the new one yet. That was a normal camera with zoom. I’ll have to see tomorrow what else I can get out of it. And try to hold my hands still. But that’s hard for me with that view

Maybe you can manually choose the focus by tapping on the screen where it should be sharp. Zoom x2 and get as close as possible until it’s blurry, then slowly move away until it’s sharp, that’s also always a good method. And the flash 
Here the cereal milk is already starting its color play again.
It’s starting to develop this beautiful purple color.

I had no other choice; I’ve deleted almost everything on the old device recently, but I still kept getting messages that I had no storage space, and it just kept getting slower.

That’s familiar… hopefully it won’t happen to me yet
This morning, shortly after the lights went on, both for me and in the tent, I took advantage of the moment and removed one of my Mars Hydro TS1000 lights; I’ll need it soon in the second tent 
Before, as known, two 150w lights on the left and right. Result: from midday it goes up to the 27-degree range. Before the heat comes, I rebuilt it.
And after,
I moved the remaining TS1000 to the center and adjusted it to the plant height on the left and right, each with a 65w full-spectrum (allegedly with UV and IR) for complete illumination with separate operability.
Cereal milk and Blue Mazar will hopefully thank me with delicious buds.

So, macro didn’t work out, but the regular camera with 20x zoom did. Here are today’s pictures. First, the Fat Gorilla
the Pink Runtz the Sherbet Queen and the Green Gelato The mint serves to stimulate terpene production via olfactory signals, so today I injured a few mint leaves to intensify the danger signals.
Lastly, the Royal Runtz in the small lab
I wish everyone a good start to the weekend

Hello everyone. Many beautiful pictures can be seen here again.
Yesterday, a total of 14 rejections from lawyers who all have too much to do and can’t take on anything new, or it’s not their field of expertise, even though they were found as such online.
Well, a supervisory complaint against my wife’s employment advisor for, among other things, misinformation has been filed, along with a travel cost reimbursement request, which has to be processed directly from above.
And today we were back at the administrative court, and the legal clerk accepted the interim legal protection, and as I already brought in writing, with the list of all the reasons, this now goes to a judge who will then request the file, and then something will come eventually. The objection has also been made, so the mandatory deadlines are initially met.
This now gives me time to find another lawyer if a lawsuit were to be filed.
However, I don’t think they’ll let it come to a lawsuit.
We’ll see what happens!
Today the S. Diesel received its manual watering with Trichoderma and Mycorrhiza as a follow-up, and 25 ml per liter of nettle ferment, which contains not only nettle but also chicken manure pellets, fenugreek, dandelion, and banana peels.
I had already strained that through a cloth bag yesterday and squeezed out the rest. The solid materials went onto the mulch of the tomato plants.
I filled two bottles with the ferment, and now, stored in a dark and cool place, it will keep for a few months as a good fertilizer.
The rest in the bucket will now be distributed gradually. However, I have to dose it carefully, as a 1 to 10 ratio already drastically lowers the pH.
Since the Living Soil is already well-fertilized and working, I don’t want to cause any root shock here either.
But it introduces many bacteria from yeast cultures and lactic acid anyway.
The 2 autos are a struggle in themselves. That’s why two new ones have been germinating for 5 days, which I will then grow with Bio Bizz. The Dope Lite completely failed this time. Let’s see if the ferment can still do anything tomorrow.
Since the beans (seeds) are a bit deeper in the soil this time, nothing was visible today.
Since yesterday, the tap on the Auto Pot is closed. I thought by today the sensors would have registered sufficiently low soil moisture to allow me to add the ferment enriched with fungi and a lot of water from above.
Only the S. Diesel was safe to tolerate 2.5 liters at 38%!
The others only started showing falling sensor readings from midday.
So I postponed that for the rest until tomorrow to avoid overwatering.
The Mexican, S. Diesel, and Kalini Asia arrived at 12 hours of light today.
The first day of flowering was already coming to an end.
For six days, I reduced by one hour each day and increased the dimmers by 2% every two days.
Today, right at the start of flowering, another 10% was added, bringing it to 70%, and the Kalini had already started stretching 2-3 days ago. So, I had to move its highest shoots one mesh further on the Scrog. This way, everything stays on the Scrog for another week. The lamps also remain at a distance of 43 cm from the center for now. This varies from 40-50 cm, outside to inside, as the lamps hang at an 11-degree angle.
You can no longer see that the ladies were defoliated a few days ago!
Since there are Sativas involved, it’s not yet clear how much they will stretch. Anything from doubling to tripling in height is possible.
But if necessary, I’ll add a second Scrog layer.
The Diesel and Mexican are 51 days from germination start today and were in vegetative growth for 25 days.
The Kalini Asia was also in vegetative growth for 25 days, but is only 43 days from germination start. And after a bad start, it has caught up enormously recently and even taken over the height ranking with the start of the stretch.
When they started to show weakness and magnesium deficiency again a few days ago, I supplied all three with Dolomite Lime again, and it’s working perfectly now.
The good one even only indicated 49-56 flowering days. 7-8 weeks, making it the first to be finished. That explains why it’s taking off directly now.
If I assume 8 weeks, the other two will need 2-3 weeks longer in flower. But that’s good. This way, I can harvest in two or three stages, and there will be enough time in between for drying. But now flowering has just begun.
The Kalini Asia today
The Mexican Sativa
The Sour Diesel
The pots are already no longer visible, and there’s a lot of green. Not much space is left on the surface itself. I’m curious to see what else comes next.
But if it continues this well, it’s going to be an awesome run.
You can already slightly see in the last picture, in the back right corner, the Kalini Asia, where it’s already a little bit taller.
It’s incredible how much the lady has caught up, as last week she was still around 30-35 cm tall. The Scrog is at 47 cm height measured from the topsoil, and I already had to move her shoots one mesh further. It always works best when the shoot is a good 10 cm taller above it.
I wish you a nice evening. Greetings from Paule

As always, the best grows I see. I hope the problem isn’t too overwhelming; everything resolves with time. Keep your spirits up.

Well, today was transplant day. The homemade rooting agent is very noticeable, as is making different layers of substrate to retain more moisture at the bottom with vermiculite.
I germinated red clover seeds which are supposed to root very deeply. I don’t know if anyone else has used them; they haven’t been very cheap, to say the least. I made the new substrate the same way as in the cups, but with expanded clay (arlita) underneath for drainage, then substrate with a lot of vermiculite, and then substrate with perlite and vermiculite in equal parts. Summer begins here, summers of 40ºC and more.
It will help reduce the amount of watering. For the final 11-liter pot, I’ll add a lot of vermiculite to compensate. It’s exhausting to prepare the watering and fertilizers every two days.
Even if the watering is automatic, I must water superficially because due to the summer heat, the surface dries very quickly. All my clovers die, the water doesn’t last at all; even though I added vermiculite, the heat is excessive.
Also, my new 80w panel arrived. It’s dimmable and has two different switches; one is to turn only the UV LEDs on and off. Incredible that it only cost me less than 50 dollars, considering they are the best LEDs on the market, the new Samsung Evo ones.
Finally, I almost have the lower part of the cabinet finished. After half a month of testing, everything is good, having already confirmed that it won’t give me light contamination and that since the upper part is much larger than the lower part with the extractor at full power, the humidity underneath doesn’t rise to the same level.
I will install new power strips for the wiring, and I’ll raise the bottom part by 10cm, which I see will be necessary for when they are in the final growth phase.
I’m very happy to have 2 spaces with different cycles in the same area.
Now I’ll open a post to ask about a Banana Cream that isn’t progressing, or it’s acting strange, I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with it.
Thanks for reading, folks.
