Finally the heat is over, but now it’s wet outside. A few drops of rain yesterday, and now rain is forecast for the whole week.
And so Environment 1 wasn’t off for long!
So yesterday morning when the rain started, I brought the Auto A. Skittlez inside, and then with the forecast of all that rain, she went into Environment 1 along with the Wedding Cake.
Well, and now with the wet days, the RH spiked badly both outside and inside.
And then you really notice that the dehumidifier, besides raising the heat even more, can’t really keep up with the RH.
So today I added 50 ml of Purolyt to the remaining 2 - 3 liters in the humidifier so that when it gets drier and kicks in, there’s something in the water mist that eliminates fungal spores.
That way, the RH can be a bit higher during late flower!
Today was watering day. Skitti got 1.5 L of water, pH adjusted to 6.5, and sent 200 ml of runoff out the bottom. She’s only getting water for her last few days.
This little buddy has found his way there too. I released him in the tent.
The Amnesia Skittlez is on Day 72 today since germination start. I subtract 5 days because after starting germination she only sprouted out of the soil 5 days later.
So today she’s at 67 days! According to the breeder, 9 - 10 weeks from germination.
But she’ll still need a few more days.
Well - for being in a 9-liter pot, in simple potting soil fertilized with Bio Bizz.
I really would have been curious to see how big and fat she would have gotten in a 20 L pot. In any case, this run of her strain yields more than the first one in expensive Living Soil, a pre-mixed blend called Dope Lite.
Soon I’ll need to take a closer, highly magnified look at the trichomes to reach a good level of ripeness here as well. She’s frosty already and actually survived the heatwave pretty well.
When they were brought into the tent yesterday, they started at a light distance under 40 cm and today they’re at 35 cm distance. The dimmers were around 55% at the start, then I raised them a bit yesterday afternoon and again this morning so that they’re now being lit at 70%. That’s about 371 Watts out of 530.
I think that should be enough too. It’s really just for finishing up in the dry.
With several days of nothing but rain, everything would rot away anyway.
Man guys, I wanted to use the new printer yesterday and the piece of junk went on strike. Technology…
Everything was fine during installation on Day 1.
It was probably the old driver from the previous model conflict with the new driver of the new model that caused the blockage.
And then me! Apart from writing a bit here and a few pictures. Downloading movies and using the PC as a video player. Yeah, simple stuff. I can manage that.
But anything deeper than that was horror, but I got deep into it and kicked the old driver out. Deleted the printer and reinstalled it along with the new driver, and then eventually…
Now the thing is working smoothly ---- Woohoo!
Moving on now — to Auto Wedding Cake Day 62 today. She’s a few days younger!
Here too, minus 5 days until she broke through the soil, she’s more at 57 days today and listed at 10 - 11 weeks from germination to harvest.
So she still has 2 - 3 weeks plus or minus a few days anyway, which is why she’s still getting nutrients. Bio Bizz today was according to the schedule after Bloom Week 6, and in three days, it’ll be schedule for Week 7.
Only Acti Vera and Bio Heaven are empty, so the rest of the line will have to do. Because I’m not buying replacements for those.
Starting next week, she’ll also only get pH-adjusted water to clean out the soil and get some autumn fade.
Just makes the flavor better!
She’s a sturdy lady though, at 80 cm tall, almost 9 cm taller than the other one.
She turned out pretty decent too, considering she’s in a 9 L pot.
The Sour Diesel will soon start Day 3 in Dry Mode in about 2 hours, and the Cannatrol had quite a workout trying to get the RH down. Dry Mode started at 67%, but that’s completely normal. Yesterday, though, it fluctuated for a long time between 65% and 64%. Meanwhile, it’s at 63% and the temperature is constant at 19.6 degrees.
It’s going smoothly!
And then there’s K. Asia.
Day 38, with 20 days of vegetative growth, today she got 2.3 L of water.
In the morning it was only 1.3 L of water, and the sensor had dropped to 41% soil moisture beforehand. Afterwards, it settled at 51%, which was still a bit too low for me. So three hours later, she got 1 L of water with 10 ml molasses/LAB ferment and 5 ml stinging nettle ferment, plus a bit of Super Microbes Root X afterwards. Now the sensor has settled at 67% soil moisture.
Right now it’s watering every 4 days or so. Next time won’t be until the sensor is around 40% again.
Brought the light back to a 58 cm distance today and turned the dimmer up a bit to 55%.
I’ve already defoliated her twice by removing her top 2 fan leaves to bring more light to the lower shoots.
And what does she do??? There are 2 fat fan leaves on top again. Now I’m having a hard time removing them again.
After all, they’re the fan leaves and the powerhouse. Let the lower shoots find their own way.
She was 19 cm tall today. After topping a few days ago, today I saw 2 shoots continuing to grow at the top and another 2 shoots directly beneath them. They’re almost at the same level, so now 4 shoots are practically at the same height.
Somehow she gives me the feeling like she’s not really picking up speed.
But I think it’s more my own impatience again.
Things can never happen fast enough for me.
At her highest point, she’s currently still 15 cm under the net. Soon she’ll be defoliated a bit again, and then the lower shoots will be long enough to tie down and out to widen things up a bit.
Curious to see if she’ll stretch as much “later on” and whether she’ll hermie too.
I won’t lollipop her as heavily as the first one.
Man - but during the last smoke, after having 4 dry and 4 cure days and another eight days already in the Grove Bag…
…she didn’t really taste like weed. It was a really awesome hash flavor.
Today is an Amnesia Skittlez day. Chilling me out very nicely 
And now after the heat and dryness.
It’s good for the Rhine harbor to finally get some water again.
Only there probably won’t be as much rain coming as the water that’s already missing.
There’s a good three meters in height missing.
That will be the next cost factor, driving prices up even higher.
And today I saw them, the absolute complete idiots.
During the drought, you didn’t see anyone driving around watering bushes and trees.
Today in the rain, they drove around to water them. In rain that’s even forecast for days.

Understand it if you can!

On that note, I guess I’ll surrender to the munchies now. Warm regards sent to you from Pflanzenpaul
