Day by Day, bubbler grow guide (200+ pictures)

原文轉自(From)：Gardens Cure

First off, this journal is a little different than most.
Instead of posting throughout the grow, I kept a detailed journal on my computer so I could post a weeks worth of growing info in a single post. I also took plenty of pictures to show how the plants develop throughout the grow as well as pictures of alternating nodes, female pistils, male pre-flowers, bud development & anything else I thought might be of importance.
I've tried to list the day by day details that I feel are extremely important to keep an eye on throughout a grow. So this should be a fairly good day-by-day guide for peeps to use for their own grows.
Keep in mind that not all strains like the same nutrient & ph levels. So watch what your plants are doing & adjust your nute & ph levels accordingly.
首先, 這份記錄和其它的種植記錄會有些小小不同
我把詳細的細節保留在我的電腦裡面以便於在單一篇文章裡貼出所有對種植有幫助的資訊而不是貼一篇概括的簡介
同時我也拍了非常多的照片, 除了概觀性的之外也包括了節點, 雌花蕊, 雄花, 花苞發展及其它任何我認為可能重要的照片
我已經試著列出每一天之中我認為對整個種植過程極為重要的細節, 所以持平而論這分文件對於想要自己種植大麻的人來說應該可以算是一分不錯的日程指南
記著, 不是每個品種都喜歡一樣的營養成分和酸鹼值, 所以, 觀察你的植株的反應, 然後據以調整你的營養成分和酸鹼值##CONTINUE##

I think the first thing that should be in every grow journal, are the complete details of your growing area, such as square footage, ventilation, lighting & most importantly, how you're growing. Soil or Hydro.
If your growing in soil, list your soil mix & all of the fertilizers & supplements you plan to use. And please be sure to list how much of everything you use & when you use it.
If your growing in hydro, let us know how you’re growing in hydro. NFT, Ebb & Flow, Drip, Bubbler, Aero, or any of the many methods there are to grow our favorite herb.
Also let us know if you’re going to Top, LST, SCROG, SOG, FIM or let them grow naturally.
The more details about your grow you give us, the more we can help if problems arise.
我認為每一份種植記錄最先應俱備的是種植區域的細節, 像是面積, 空氣的流通, 光照以及最重要的土耕還是水耕
如果是土耕, 列出你的土壤混合比例和所使用的肥料以及打算使用的補給劑, 並且確實列出你用了多少及你使用的時機
如果是水耕, 讓我們知道你是用哪一種水耕, NFT, Ebb & Flow, Drip, Bubbler, Aero或其它許多己知可以用來種植大麻的方式
同時讓我們知道你是否打算修剪(調整生長方向), LST, ScrOG, SoG, FIM或者讓他們自然成長, 你給的越詳細, 當不幸有問題發生時我們才能幫得上忙

Cabinet:
My cabinet is made of white melomine. Great stuff. It doesn't warp, you can write on it with a dry erase marker & it wipes right off. Perfect for keeping notes. The cab measures 55" high x 29" wide x 22" deep. This gives me 4.4 square feet & 20.3 cubic feet.
種植箱(櫃)：
我的種植箱是用白色的塑膠(white melomine(?))做的, 很讚的東西, 不會彎曲, 可以在上面用馬克筆在寫字然後可以輕易地擦掉, 記筆記很好用, 高55英吋x29英吋寬x22英吋深也就等於面積4.4平方英呎和20.3立方英呎的容積

Ventilation:
This is one of the most important things to control during a grow.
If the temp is too high, the plants can transpire so much, that the salts from the nutes can build up on the leaves & burn them. Keeping the humidity high can help, but then you'll still have to deal with the possibility of the plants stretching, another thing high temps can cause. During the vegetative portion of a grow, the plants do best with temps between 70f & 79f.
During flowering it's ok to let the temps go to as high as 90. This can actually cause the plants to produce more trichome as a form of protection from the heat.
Ventilation also controls your humidity. During the veg & flowering stretch, the plants will do best with the humidity between 50% & 75%. Lower temps & higher humidity will help to keep the spacing between internodes close. Especially when the plants are first starting out.
During the flowering stage of the grow, the humidity needs to stay below 50% to avoid mold forming on the buds.
The lower humidity will also make your plants transpire more. More transpiration means more uptake of nutrients which will give you bigger colas. Be careful though. Low humidity & high temps during flowering can be a plus, but it can also burn the hell out of your plants from too many nutrients if your not very careful.
If you start to see any burning of the leaves, lower the ppm of the nutrients immediately. You might even have to flush the plants to remove the excess nutes.
空氣的流通：
空氣流通的控制在整個種植過程裡是最重要的事情之一
如果溫度過高, 大麻會蒸發掉過的水分導致營養液裡的鹽分在葉面上結晶而灼傷他們, 保持較高的濕度會有所幫助, 不過你還是得要面對另一個可能隨著高溫而來的大麻成長的伸長化(按：大麻的枝節間的距離會拉長, 就是長得高而不密, 這絕對不是室內種植者所樂見的情形)
在種植的生長階段, 大麻最佳的生長溫度是介於華氏70~79度(攝氏21~26度)而開花階段可以讓溫度高到華氏90度(攝氏32度), 開花時的高溫會造成大麻產生更多的的毛狀體用以保護自己不受高溫傷害(以下不再換算華氏和攝氏, 請自行找公式換算或使用google幫你換算)
空氣流通同時也能幫助控制濕度, 在生長期和花期之前的伸展期, 最適合大麻生長的濕度是相對濕度50%~75%之間, 較低的溫度和較高的濕度有助於大麻將枝節生得較緊緻較密, 這點尤見於大麻種子剛破土而出時
在真正的花期之中, 為了避免花苞發霉, 濕度應保持低於50%, 較低的濕度代表著大麻將會蒸發較多的水分, 而蒸發較多的水分表示大麻將會吸收更多的營養液, 更多的營養液吸收則代表了更大的cola(照字面大家都知道是可樂, 但是可樂關他媽的大麻什麼屁事, cola在這裡指的應該是甜筒, 就是主花苞所呈現出來的倒三角錐)但是請小心, 花期時, 高溫和乾燥可以加分但如果沒有非常小心照顧也可能造成大麻吸收過多養分而燒傷甚至死亡
如果葉面上開始出現灼燒的現象, 立刻降低營養液的濃度(ppm)甚至沖洗整株大麻以洗去多出來的養分

I have 1, 4" exhaust hole with a 4" 104cfm axial fan pulling air out of the top of the cabinet & then blowing it into the ceiling rafters. I also have an ozone generator blowing ozone into the rafters for odor control. Works great.
I have 1, 4” passive exhaust hole in the floor of the cabinet with a 4" black pvc pipe going through a hole I drilled through the sub floor of my home. This allows me to bring cool air into the cabinet from the crawl space beneath my home.
I also have a 4" passive exhaust hole in the side of the cabinet, just above the floor that pulls warm air from inside my home.
我有一個4英吋的出氣口上面用一個4英吋的軸扇把空氣從箱子的頂部抽出去然後帶往房間的天花板上, 並且用一個臭氧產生器對著天花板上輸出臭氧, 抑制氣味的效果很好
在箱子底部另外有一個4英吋的被動出氣口, 接著一條黑色的PVC塑膠管通往我家的地板下方, 這讓我家地板下方的狹小空間裡的冷空氣得以進入種植箱, 另一個排氣孔則在箱子的側邊, 高度只比地板高一點剛好可以把室內較溫暖的空氣吸進種植箱

The winters here get extremely cold. We already have 6 feet of snow on the ground & the temps have dropped to as low as -14f. So keeping my cabinet within the proper temp ranges is a little tricky when 12/12 starts. The problem is keeping the cold air being pulled in from under the house getting the cab to cold during lights out. If I don't keep the cold air out, the temp drops into the 40's & that’s to cold for MJ. In the summer, the temp under the house stays in the 60's so it's not a problem.
So here's how I fixed the winter problem:
For 24/0 lighting, I tape over the hole in the side of the cab & leave the hole in the floor of the cab open 24/0. This lets cold air in continuously & keeps the temp pretty constant.
For 12/12 lighting, I mount another 4" 104cfm axial fan over the exhaust hole in the floor. I attach a 4" dryer vent cap to the top of it & untape the hole in the side of the cab that was closed during 24/0.
The exhaust fan mounted to the floor of the cab is on the same timer as the lights. So when the lights are on, the fan turns on pushing the hinged flap on the vent cap open, allowing cool air into the cab during lights on.
When the lights turn off, the fan shuts off & the vent cap closes. With the vent cap closed, the air gets pulled in through the exhaust hole in the side of the cabinet. The air that gets pulled in through the side is from within my house & is usually between 65f & 72f. Kind of complicated, but it works to keep the temps steady.
這段作者主要在描述因為所在的地方冬天很冷(應該是在加拿大或美國的北方城市, 大陸型氣侯, 又冷又乾燥)而做的因應措施, 有興趣的自己慢慢看

On top of all that, I have a circulation fan blowing air 24/0 & an ultrasonic humidifier running 24/0. The humidifier has a 2-gallon res. & I have to fill it twice a day.
Because of the small size of my cab, I point the circulation fan away from my plants while they’re young. This still gives plenty of air & plant movement. If I point the fan directly at the plants, the leaves the fan hits directly, get nutrient burned. What happens is the leaves transpire so quickly; the nutrients build up within the leaves & on the surface of the leaves causing them to burn & dry out. It only takes a light breeze, not a full-blown gale for your plants to get fresh air & strong stems.
箱子裡還有一個循環用的風扇, 24小時吹送, 以及一個超音波加濕器也是24小時運轉, 加濕器的水箱有2加侖, 一天要加兩次水
因為種植箱的尺寸不大, 所以在種植初期, 大麻植株還小的時候, 我把風扇轉開不讓它直吹大麻, 這樣還是可以造成植株的擺動及供應足夠多的空氣, 如果把循環扇對著幼小的大麻植株吹會造成被風扇直接吹到的葉子因為水分蒸散太快而被養分灼燒, 對大麻來說, 一點輕微的空氣流動就足以供應空氣和使莖部長得強壯, 不需要太強的風力

Lighting:
Lighting is another of the very important aspects of a grow.
Bottom line is, the more lumens you have, the bigger & tighter the colas are going to be.
Anything less than 2,500 lumen per square foot & you'll have very fluffy buds. Personally, I feel you should have at least 5,000 lumen per square foot to get decent density. The closer you can keep the lights to the top of the plants, without heat becoming a problem, the better of the plants will be.
光照：
光線是另一個非常重要的種植課題
基本上來說, 越多的光帶來越大, 越緊緻的花苞甜筒
低於每平方英呎2,500流明的話, 你將種出非常蓬鬆的花苞
個人建議, 你最少應該要有每平方英呎5,000流明的亮度才能得到合適的密度, 你能保持大麻不被燈所帶來的熱灼燒而把燈放得離大麻越近, 你就能種出越高品質的大麻

I use 4, 95 watt Envirolights. I have 2 of the red spectrum & 2 of the full spectrum. I run my lights 24/0 during the veg cycle & 12/12 during the flowering cycle.
我使用4個95瓦特的省電燈泡, 2個黃光以及2個白光, 生長期一天開24小時, 花期一天開12小時關12小時

This will be the 6th grow with the same bulbs. I have the bulbs mounted in a reflector that was made for 2 bulbs. I modified it to fit all 4. I keep the bulbs within 12" & 2" of the top of the plants. The only reason I use Envirolights, they don't give off nearly as much heat as HID's do. The Envirolights put out 8950 lumen each. So that gives me a total of 35,800 lumen. Divide that by my square footage & you'll see I have 8,136 lumen per square foot. I know Envirolights don't have the penetration that HID's do, but I can keep the Envirolights within 2" on the top of the plants without harming the plants. So they "can" get pretty decent penetration, especially if you keep your plants on the short size.
這次將是第6次使用這批燈泡種植, 我將這4個燈泡鎖在一個反光罩裡, 這個反光罩本來是只能裝2個燈泡, 我自行將它改裝成可以容納4個燈泡, 我把燈泡維持在大麻頂端約2英吋及12英吋的高度, 我使用省電燈泡的唯一理由是因為不會像HID(氣體放電)燈泡一樣產生超高的熱量, 每個省電燈泡(EnviroLights)產生8,950流明的亮度, 所以4個燈泡總共有35,800流明, 除以我的種植箱的面積4.4平方英呎等於每平方英呎有8,136流明, 我瞭解省電燈泡的光不像HID燈一樣有很高的滲透率, 但是我可以把省電燈泡放在植株頂端2英吋這麼近而不會傷到植株, 所以他們仍"可以"得到相當合適的光滲透率, 尤其是在你把植株維持矮一點不要讓他們長太高的情形下

Growing Style:
Low Stress Training in Bubbler:
I am using 3 home made 5-gallon bubbler. I'm training the plants because of the height of the buckets & the lack of height in my cab. From the top of the buckets to 2" below the light at it's highest point, is only 35”.
The reason I chose to use individual buckets instead of a storage tote, is I'm growing from seed. Trying to separate the males from the females in a storage tote is next to impossible without seriously damaging the roots. Damaging the roots causes the plant to go into shock & can delay growth for up to two weeks. Not a good thing.
種植方式：
輕度調適/修剪的氣泡式水耕：
我使用3個家用5加侖的氣泡桶, 我會修剪調適植株是因為桶子的高度已經佔去可種植高度不少所以種植箱內剩下來可以種植的高度不夠, 從桶子頂端到把燈拉到最高的下方2英吋, 這中間的高度只有35英吋
而我選擇使用個別的桶子而不使用一個大水槽的原因是因為我是從種子開使種植, 試著把雄株從水槽裡移開幾乎不可能不嚴重傷到雌株的根部(按：因為在同一個氣泡水槽內, 大麻的根部會彼此糾纏在一起很難分開, 要分開只能硬拉, 而硬拉會傷到根部)根部受傷會造成植株受到驚嚇而且可能會造成長達兩星期的成長遲緩, 這不是一件好事

I used 5 gallon paint buckets & wrapped them in reflectix insulation & covered the lids with reflectix tape. The reflectix insulation keeps the nutes from getting warmed up by the lights. I have no problem keeping my nutes in the low 70's.
Here's a quick side note about nute temps.
The lower the temp, the more dissolved oxygen the solution can hold. Higher temps hold less oxygen. More oxygen is better.
Temps below 68f can slow the growth of the plants & temps above 80f can cause them to stretch.
I try to keep mine between 70f & 75f.
我用的是5加侖的油漆桶, 然後把外面用反光絕綠布包起來, 蓋子也用反光膠帶貼滿, 反光布能反射燈光而不致於使裡面的營養液溫度升高, 我可以使我的營養液溫度保持在華氏70度出頭
以下是關於營養液溫度的簡單註解
營養液溫度越低溶氧量越高, 溫度越高溶氧量越低, 多一點氧氣比較好
低於華氏68度會減緩大麻的成長, 而溫度高於華氏80度會造成大麻長得高(長)而不密, 我都試著把我的營養液保持在華氏70~75度之間

Okay, back to the buckets. Next I drilled a small hole for the air hose fitting, into the side of each bucket, about 1/2" from the bottom. Be sure to use a small amount of waterproof sealant on the inside of the bucket around the whole. Then push the fitting through from the inside. This way the pressure of the water on the flange of the fitting will help to keep it from leaking. I've never had a leak.
好了, 回到桶子本身, 接著我在每個桶子的邊上, 離底部半英吋的地方鑽一個洞讓接頭可以穿過, 請使用少量的防水封劑(中性矽利康)塗在桶子內側的洞週圍, 然後把接頭由桶內往外穿出去, 這樣桶內的水壓會防止漏水, 我用這個方式從沒漏過水

I taped my air pumps to the sides of the buckets with the outlets pointing to the top of the bucket. I mounted them high enough for the air hose to be above the water level. This will keep any water from getting into the air pumps. I also use check valves for added safety.
My air pumps are the dual outlet, 20 to 60 gallon pumps they sell at WalMart for $9.95. I use one for each bucket.
I use black 1/4" drip irrigation hose for my airlines. For each pump I cut two, 5" pieces of airline & attach them to each outlet on the pump. I then attach the 2 on each pump to a t fitting. Next, I cut a piece of air line long enough to reach from the single side of the t fitting to the fitting on the side of the bucket & attach both ends to the fittings. Doing this puts the air from both outlets into one hose.
我用膠帶把空氣幫浦綁在桶子邊上並且讓出氣孔朝向桶子上綠, 高度則是讓出氣短管能高過桶內的水面, 這樣可以確保桶內的水不會回流到空氣幫浦裡, 同時我也加了止逆閥更加確保水不會順著氣管逆流而回到空氣幫浦, 我的空氣幫浦是雙出氣孔, 出氣量是20~60加侖, 在WalMart每個賣美金$9.95元, 每個桶子各用一個
我使用1/4英吋黑色的小水管充當空氣管, 每個空氣幫浦我剪下2段5英吋長的短管接在出氣孔上然後把兩段短管接到同一個T型或Y型3接頭上, 接下來, 我剪一段長度足以連接這個雙管接頭和桶子底部邊綠的接頭的氣管, 然後把氣管兩端都接上接頭, 這樣做讓兩個出氣孔所產出的空氣都進到同一個氣管

For air stones, I found 3" air discs, mounted to a weighted base at my local fish store. These things put out a ton of bubbles & stay in place. To mount these, I simply cut a piece of air hose the right length to keep the disc centered in the bottom of the bucket & attach it to the air disc & then to the fitting on the inside of the bucket. Be sure to give the sealant enough time to dry before attaching the airlines.
致於氣泡石, 我使用3英吋大, 且粘在加重用的盤子上的盤狀氣泡石(按：單單氣泡石很輕, 要嘛是用矽利康粘死在桶子底部, 要嘛就要想辦法增加重量)這些傢伙可以輸出一大堆氣泡又乖乖待在原地不會亂漂亂晃, 我剪了一小段氣管把氣泡石盤和桶子內側的接頭相接, 要確定你在接這邊之前要給矽利康足夠的時間乾燥

Growing Medium:
3 1/2" net pots, hydroton & rockwool.
For the net pot, I simply drill a hole in the center of the lid with a hole saw. I also cut 1 1/2" x 2" hole in the lid to give me a place to check & adjust the nutes with out having to lift the lid. Once training starts, I won't be able to lift the lid. So this was a must. I covered the access hole with a thick black piece of plastic held down with 1" nuts to make sure no light leaks into the reservoir. Light leaks in your reservoir can cause all kinds of nasties to grow in your nutes. Many of which can kill your plants.
種植介質：
3又1/2英吋的網盆, 發泡鍊石, 岩綿
針對網盆, 我在桶蓋上用開洞鋸子在中間鑽了一個洞, 同時鑽了一個1/2英吋x2英吋的洞, 以便於有空間可以檢查和調整營養液而不用把蓋子拿起來, 當調整(生長方向)開始後, 桶蓋將沒辦法拿起來, 所以這個調整和檢查用的洞是必需的, 平時, 我用一塊黑色的塑膠片蓋住這個作業孔, 並用1英吋的鏍帽壓住以防止光線滲進桶內, 燈光滲透進水桶會造成各式各樣的髒污在營養液裡生成, 其中有很多都能殺死你的植株

To get the hydroton ready to use, I place them in a colander & run water through them while shaking the hell out of the colander. This removes most of the dust & loose pieces from the hydroton. This is a very important process. Too much hydroton dust in your nutes can affect the ph & ppm levels. So don't skip this. This is my sixth grow using the same hydroton pellets, so I don't need to bother with this step anymore.
要讓發泡鍊石可以使用, 我把它們放進一個過濾器裡, 放水流過它們, 並使命地搖晃過濾器皿, 這樣會使大部分的灰塵和鬆脫的部分掉落, 這是一個非常重要的過程, 如果營養液裡有太多的鍊石灰塵, 會影響酸鹼值和濃度(ppm), 所以千萬不要跳過這個步驟, 這是我第6次使用同一批鍊石, 所以我不需要擔心重做這個步驟

Nutrients, Supplements:
I'm using General Hydroponics Nutrients.
Flora Micro (5-0-1), Flora Grow (2-1-6) & Flora Bloom (0-5-4)
I also use General Hydroponics pH up (0-0-9) & pH down (0-9-0).
The only supplements I use are silicone (0-0-3), (be careful with the silicone, it raises pH fairly substantially.) liquid kelp (0.1-0-1) & General Hydroponics Kool Bloom (2-45-28).
營養補給：
我使用通用的水耕營養劑
Flora Micro(微量元素)(NPK=5-0-1)
Flora Grow(成長肥)(NPK=2-1-6)
Flora Bloom(開花肥)(NPK=0-5-4)
同時, 我也使用通用的水耕pH up(鹼化劑)(NPK=0-0-9)
pH down(酸化劑)(NPK=0-9-0)
補給品為硅樹脂(NPK=0-0-3), 使用硅樹脂要小心, 它會明顯地使水質變鹼(pH up), 還有液狀海草灰(NPK=0.1-0-1), 以及通用水耕的Kool Bloom(開花肥)(NPK=2-45-28)

Electronic Meters:
PPM Pen, Oakton
Ph & Temp Pen, Hanna .
電子儀表：
濃度計(筆式)
酸鹼和溫度計(筆式)

Strain Being Grown:
Skunk #1 Freebies
種植的品種：
不用錢的臭鼬1號(贈品)
(按：臭鼬是偏Indica系的品種, 由以下的照片中可以看出它的葉子比較圓且粗短, 以及枝節較密而長不高可以看出端倪, 而較偏Indica代表著較偏Stone和較沈的感覺)

Here are a few pictures of my set-up. 這裡有一些我的裝置的照片

That should give you a pretty good idea of what I've got.
So let’s get on with the growing.
以上這些應該能讓你對於我所使用的裝置有不錯的概念
接下來讓我們繼續種植的部分

1-12-04
I soaked the rockwool & hydroton in 1/2tsp. per gal. liquid kelp ph'd to 6.0. I let it soak for at least 24 hours.
第1天(總天數1)
我把岩綿和鍊石浸入每加侖1/2茶匙的海草灰溶液裡讓它酸化到pH值6.0, 最少要浸個24小時

1-13-04, Day #1 of Germination:
Today I got the net pots ready for the seeds & planted the seeds.
催芽第1天(總天數2)
今天, 我把網盆準備好, 並且把種子種下去

Here's what I do.
I put a 1" layer of hydroton in the bottom of a 3" net pot. Then I set the rockwool plug on top of the hydroton & fill in the empty space around the plug with more hydroton. Next, I prepare the rockwool for a seed by tearing small pieces loose from the top of the plug, then place the seed, point down, on top of the plug & place the pieces of rockwool I pulled loose lightly on top of the seeds. Once the seeds are planted, I put the net pots under a humidity dome with the humidity at 95% & the temp at 78f.
來看看我怎麼做的
我在3英吋大的網盆底部鋪了一層約1英吋厚的發泡煉石, 然後把岩綿放在煉石之上並用煉石把週圍的空間填滿, 接下來我把岩綿頂部一小塊弄鬆, 把種子朝下放進去, 再把之前弄鬆的岩綿輕輕地蓋在上面, 當種子種下去之後, 我把整個網盆放進保濕用的有透明蓋的容器裡, 並保持濕度在95%以及華氏78度的溫度

Placing the seeds point down is very important. The pointy end is where the root tip will come out. Sometimes it's difficult to tell which end is which. So I look at the seeds through a magnifying glass. One end of the seed will come to a point; the other end will have a depression in it & have a lighter coloring in the middle of the depression. This is the end that will act as a hinge when the sprout comes out. Getting the seeds planted correctly will greatly increase your chances of getting sprouts.
把種子朝下放進岩綿是非常重要的, 尖的那頭是種子發根出來的地方, 有時候很難看出哪一頭是哪一頭, 所以我用放大鏡觀察種子, 有一邊會呈現尖頭, 另一邊會呈現下凹而且下凹的中心部位顏色比較淡, 這頭會是嫩芽發出來的點, 把種子種對方向對發芽有很大的幫助

Here are a couple of pictures of the first day & close ups of a seed pod showing which end is which.
這裡有幾張第一天的照片以及種子兩頭的特寫
You can see the top of the humidifier in this picture.
I keep the dome off center just enough for the mist to get inside the dome.
這張照片裡可以看到加濕器的頂端, 我把保濕容器的蓋子稍微往旁邊放, 剛好讓加濕器噴出來的霧氣可以噴進容器裡

You can see the mist from the humidifier in this picture.
這張照片裡你可以看到容器裡充滿了從加濕器噴進來的霧氣

You can see how I covered the seeds with small pieces of rockwool in this picture.
這張照片裡你可以看到我如何用一小塊岩綿蓋住種子

Here are a couple of close-up of a seed pod so you can see what I was trying to describe.
下面這兩張種子的特寫照片可以讓你看到(瞭解)我所謂的尖頭和下凹部位是什麼意思


1-14-04, Day #2 of Germination:
Temp Under Dome 78f, RH 95%
Everything’s looking good.
催芽第2天(總天數3)
在保濕容器裡的溫度為華氏78度, 相對濕度為95%, 一切正常

1-15-04, Day #3 of Germination:
Temp Under Dome 78f, RH 95%
I can see the small pieces of rockwool starting to lift up in 2 of the net pots.
催芽第3天(總天數4)
保濕容器內的溫度為華氏78度, 相對濕度為95%
在三個網盆其中的兩個, 蓋在種子上的小塊岩綿開始被撐起

1-16-04, Day #4 of Germination:
Temp Under Dome 78f, RH 95%
10:00am
Two of the plants are now poking their heads out of the rockwool.
9:00pm
Another one of the plants has poked its head through.
催芽第4天(總天數5)
保濕容器內溫度華氏78度, 相對濕度95%
當天早上10點, 比較快發芽的那兩株己經把頭探出岩綿了
晚上9點, 剩下的那株也把頭探出岩綿了

1-17-04, Day #1 of Veg:
Cab Temp 78f, RH 60%, Nute Temp 71f, PPM 400, Ph 5.6
生長期第1天(總天數6)
種植箱裡的溫度為華氏78度, 相對濕度為60%, 營養液溫度為華氏71度, 濃度為400PPM, 酸鹼值5.6

I lifted the rockwool off the seed that hasn't shown & it never germinated.
So I guess this is going to be a three plant grow. Which is a good thing, with the fan & humidifier, I only have room for three five-gallon buckets in the cab.
I misted the plants with 1/2tsp. per gal liquid kelp ph'd to 5.7.
I mist the plants twice a day with this solution until the roots hit the nute solution.
我把還沒探頭的那株上面的岩綿掀開, 它完全沒有發芽的跡象, 我想這次應該是只有種3株了, 這算是件好事, 因為循環風扇和加濕器佔去的空間讓我的種植箱剩餘空間只夠放入3個5加侖的桶子
我用每加侖1/2茶匙海草灰的溶液(酸鹼值5.7)噴灑(細霧)植株, 在大麻的根從網盆伸出達到桶內的營養液之前, 我每天都用這樣的溶液噴兩次

Now that I know which 3 are going into the bubblers, I went ahead & started the bubblers up at 400ppm with a ph of 5.6.
Here's what I add to accomplish this.
1 ml per gal Micro
1 ml per gal Grow
1 ml per gal Bloom
1 ml per gal Silicone
2 ml per gal pH Down
I check the pH at least once a day. Most days I check in the am & pm.
My tap water is 90ppm at 6.7pH. So I'm adding 310ppm of nutrients & supplements.
現在我知道是哪3株要進入氣泡桶裡了, 我繼續工作, 啟動氣泡桶, 濃度400PPM, 酸鹼值5.6
要達到濃度400PPM和酸鹼值5.6我在水裡加了以下成分
每加侖1毫升的微量元素
每加侖1毫升的成長肥
每加侖1毫升的開花肥
每加侖1毫升的硅樹脂
每加侖2毫升的酸化劑
我每天都會檢查酸鹼值, 大部分的日子裡我每天早晚都各檢查一次, 我這邊的自來水是90PPM, 酸鹼值是6.7, 所以我得要加入310PPM的營養素(肥料)和補給

Side Note: The amounts I add to get the desired ppm may be different than what you need to add. It all depends on what ppm your water starts at.
The only way to be sure you’ve got the ppm correct is with a meter.
註解：我為了達到我想要的濃度而加入的量和你所需的可能不同, 這全要看你的自來水的濃度而決定, 而要知道你的自來水的正確濃度, 唯有用儀器去測量

Here's another tip for everybody.
If your using a garden hose to get water for any part of your grow, sterilizing it before each use is very important. The inside of your hose is a perfect breeding ground for all kinds of nasty things.
The way I sterilize mine is to attach a waterbed pump to my bathroom sink & attach the hose to it.
Next I fill the other bathroom sink with 1 cup bleach per. gal. very hot water.
Then I turn on the water to get the waterbed pump to work & suck the bleach water through the hose. When all the bleach water has been sucked through the hose I remove the waterbed pump, attach the hose directly to the faucet & run hot water back through the hose to rinse out all the bleach. I do this every time I use the hose. My hose is only used for my grow & never leaves the house.
Also, don't attach the male & female ends of the hose together when you store it. That's an almost surefire way to get nasties growing in your hose.
這裡有另一個給大家的小提示
如果你是用庭院水管引水灌溉(種植), 每次使用前殺菌是非常重要的, 因為水管內部是孕育各式各樣髒東西溫床, 我消毒水管的方法是把它接上沈水馬達放進浴缸裡, 然後把另一個浴缸用非常熱的水以每加侖水對1杯漂白水比例加滿, 接著打開沈水馬達讓它把漂白水吸到空的浴缸裡, 當所有的漂白水溶液吸完後, 把水管拆下來接上自來水的水龍頭, 放熱水把水管內部的漂白水洗掉, 我每次使用水管前都會做這個動作, 我的水管只用在種植用途, 而且從來沒離開過家門, 再者, 水管收起來不使用時, 不要把水管的兩頭相接, 那是一個幾乎可以確定會讓髒東西在水管裡生成的動作

1-18-04, Day #2 of Veg:
Cab Temp 78f, RH 58%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 400, pH 5.6
Misted today & everything looks great.
pH was up to 6.1.
I adjusted it back to 5.6 by adding 0.5 ml per gal pH down to each bubbler.
生長期第2天(總天數7)
種植箱內溫度為華氏78度, 相對濕度58%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度400PPM, 酸鹼值5.6
今天有噴霧(海草灰溶液), 一切正常
酸鹼值一度上升到6.1, 我用每加侖0.5毫升的酸化劑把它調回5.6(每個桶子都要各別調整)

1-19-04, Day #3 of Veg:
Cab Temp 78f, RH 56%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 400, pH 5.6
Misted today & everything looks great.
There are roots starting to come out of the net pot on plant #3.
pH rise to 6.0.
I adjusted it back to 5.6 by adding 0.5 ml per gal pH down.
生長期第3天(總天數8)
種植箱溫度華氏78度, 相對濕度56%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度400PPM, 酸鹼值5.6
今天有噴霧, 一切看來非常好
3號網盆己經開始有根跑出來, 酸鹼值一度升到6.0, 同樣用每加侖0.5毫升的酸化劑把它調整回5.6

1-20-04, Day #4 of Veg:
Cab Temp 79f, RH 55%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 400, pH 5.7
Misted again & the plants are coming along nicely.
One thing I've noticed about Skunk #1 is the leaves are a lighter green than anything I've grown before.
pH rise to 5.7. So no adjustments needed.
生長期第4天(總天數9)
種植箱溫度華氏79度, 相對濕度55%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度400PPM, 酸鹼值5.7
再次噴霧, 植株們長得很漂亮
我注意到有關臭鼬1號的一件事, 就是它們的葉子比起其它我以前種過的品種要淺色一點
酸鹼值上升到5.7, 沒必要調整

Here are a couple of pictures after 4 days of veg.
這裡有一些生長4天後的照片

1-21-04, Day #5 of Veg:
Cab Temp 79f, RH 55%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 400, pH 5.7
There are very pale yellow spots on the leaves that I think are from the light being magnified by the water droplets. It could just be my lousy eyesight too. But just to be on the safe side, I only misted them once today.
生長期第5天(總天數10)
種植箱溫度華氏79度, 相對濕度55%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度400PPM, 酸鹼值5.7
葉子上出現一些非常淡的黃色斑點, 我想可能是燈光被葉面的水珠放大集中所造成的(放大鏡效應), 也可能是是我的視力問題, 但為了確保安全起見, 我今天只噴霧一次

Here's a close-up of one of the leaves. See if you can spot what I'm talking about.
這是一張葉子的特寫, 看看你能不能看出我所說的那些灼燒的黃斑


1-22-04, Day #6 of Veg:
Cab Temp 79f, RH 55%, Nute Temp 71f, PPM 400, pH 5.8
生長期第6天(總天數11)
種植箱溫度華氏79度, 相對濕度55%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度400PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

If you've been paying attention, you probably noticed my temp & humidity have been changing.
That's because it's been getting colder outside & the humidity has been dropping. It's at 21% today.
As long as the humidity in the cab stays above 50% & the temp stay below 80f, I'll be a happy camper.
如果你有用心, 你可能發現到我的溫度和濕度一直有些變化, 那是因為我所在的地方, 室外溫度漸漸變冷, 而且濕度一直降低, 今天只有21%, 只要箱內的濕度保持在50%以上溫度維持在華氏80度以下, 我將樂得輕鬆不做任何調整

1:00pm:
I misted the plants & checked the pH to find it had dropped to 5.3 on all 3 buckets. Since this was a fairly dramatic overnight drop & there aren't enough roots yet to affect the ppm or pH of the nutrients, I recalibrate my pH pen thinking it just gave me a bad reading.
After recalibrating the pen I rechecked the pH of the nutrients & they still read 5.3. Not sure why they dropped like that.
I raised the pH to 5.8 by adding 1ml per gal. of silicone to each bucket. I’ll check it again later tonight.
下午一點鐘：
噴霧植株, 檢查酸鹼值, 發現3個桶子裡的營養液同時降到5.3, 一夜之間酸鹼值掉這麼多有點戲劇性, 而且植株的根還沒有多到足以影響營養液的濃度和酸鹼值, 所以我認為是酸鹼值筆的準度不準而重新校準它, 當我校準後重新測量時發現營養液真的是這麼酸, 不確定為什麼酸鹼值會掉這麼兇, 我在每個桶子內都加入每加侖水對1毫升硅樹脂比例的溶液把酸鹼值升回5.8, 今晚再檢查一次

10:00pm:
I checked the pH & it's still at 5.8. Still not sure what made it drop, but it seems fine now.
I also noticed a small amount of either heat burn or nutrient burn on one of the new leaflets. I think it might have hit the light while I was holding up the lid to take a picture of the inside of the bubbler. But just to be on the safe side, I'm going to stop misting them for a couple of days. If I don't see any more burning, I'll resume misting them.
晚上10點：
檢查酸鹼值, 它維持在5.8, 還是不明白之前為什麼會掉這麼多, 但是現在看起來很正常
我也在新的小葉子上發現一個小範圍的不知是熱灼傷還是營養液灼傷, 我想可能是因為我把蓋子掀起來幫桶子內部照相時葉子接觸到燈泡所引起的, 但是為了確保安全, 我將暫停噴霧幾天, 如果沒有新的灼傷, 我才會恢復噴霧

Here's a picture of the burnt leaflet & a few pictures of how the growth is coming along.
這些有一張灼傷的照片和一些成長照片

1-23-04, Day #7 of Veg:
Cab Temp 78f, RH 55%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 400, pH 5.9
pH rise to 5.9. I left it there.
生長期第7天(總天數12)
種植箱溫度華氏78度, 相對濕度55%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度400PPM, 酸鹼值5.9
酸鹼值上升到5.9, 放著不管

During the veg cycle & the flowering stretch, the pH needs to stay between 5.5 & 5.9.
The plants need more nitrogen (N) during these growth periods & they're able to uptake more when your nutrients are at a lower pH value.
在生長期間和開花前期(伸展期), 酸鹼值必需保持在5.5~5.9之間, 大麻在生長期間需要較多的氮, 營養液的酸鹼值低一點(較酸)可以讓大麻吸收更多的氮

When the flowering stretch is over & you see the buds starting to form, it's cool to let it slide up to 6.1.
The plants need a lot of potassium (K) to grow flowers (buds) & they're able to uptake more when your nutrients are at a higher pH value. A good range to keep the pH during the budding cycle is 5.7 to 6.1.
當伸展期結束而且花苞開始成形時, 可以漸漸地讓酸鹼值上升到6.1, 大麻在開花期間需要大量的鉀(K), 而且當營養液的酸鹼值高一點(較不那麼酸)時可以吸收更多的鉀, 在開花期間, 酸鹼值的範圍最好維持在5.7~6.1之間

This doesn't mean you should keep the pH at the extreme of either of these. The plants uptake different nutrients at different pH levels, so in my opinion, it's best to let it drift up & or down, between the pH ranges.
這並不表示你應該把酸鹼值固定在理想範圍的任一個極端值, 大麻在不同的酸鹼值時會從營養液裡吸收不同的營養, 所以我的意見是最好讓酸鹼值在範圍內上上下下

Here's a pH/nutrient uptake chart (Thanks to St0ney) that shows what nutrients are taken up at the different pH levels.
這個有一張酸鹼值和營養吸收圖表可以看出在不同酸鹼值時大麻所吸收的營養


1-24-04, Day #8 of Veg:
Cab Temp 78f, RH 55%, Nute Temp 71f, PPM 400, pH 5.7.
I misted the plants again today & checked the pH. The pH rise to 6.0 so I added 0.3 ml per gal pH down to each bucket. Now the pH is at 5.7.
Now that the roots have reached the nutrient solution, I'm going to discontinue misting the plants. The magnifying effect of the water droplets is leaving burn marks on the leaves & they really don't need the extra nutrients anyway.
生長期第8天(總天數13)
種植箱溫度華氏78度, 相對濕度55%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度400PPM, 酸鹼值5.7
今天又再次噴霧並檢查酸鹼值, 酸鹼值升高到6.0, 所以我在每個桶子裡加入了每加侖0.3毫升的酸化劑, 使酸鹼值重回到5.7的水平, 現在, 植株的根部己經伸出網盆且長到足以接觸到桶內的營養液, 我將中斷每天的噴霧, 因為噴霧所造成的水珠所形成的灼傷在葉面上留下了傷痕, 而且根部己經觸及營養液可以自行由根部吸收養分而不再需要額外利用噴霧提供養分

Here's a picture of the burn from the lights I was talking about & a few pictures of the plants after 1 week of growth.
以下是一張我所謂的光灼傷的照片以及一些成長一週大的照片
The white residue on & around the burn is nutrient that transpired out of the leaf & burned it. This is a perfect example of what water droplets on your plants can do & what the first signs of this type of burn are. You'll also notice the burn is almost perfectly round. Another sign that the light being magnified by a water droplet caused it.
那些白色的殘留及週圍的物質是由營養液蒸散出葉面並灼傷它所造成的, 這是一個水滴在你的葉面上會造成的傷害的完美範例, 同時也是這類灼傷的初期癥狀, 注意到那個灼傷幾乎是正圓形的了嗎, 這是另一個這種灼傷是由水滴所造成的癥狀

1-25-04, Day #9 of Veg:
Cab Temp 76f, RH 55%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 400, pH 5.5.
Temp in the cabinet dropped to 76f because it's cold & snowing again.
pH was back up to 6.0 again today. Since the pH seems to go up most days, I lowered it to 5.5 with 0.5 ml per gal pH down. I'll let it drift up to 5.9. Then drop it back to 5.5. This way the plants can uptake all the nutrients they need.
生長期第9天(總天數14)
種植箱溫度華氏76度, 相對濕度55%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度400PPM, 酸鹼值5.5
今天下雪且戶外天氣變冷所以箱內溫度跟著降到華氏76度, 酸鹼值再次升高到6.0, 既然多數的日子裡酸鹼值看起來都會升高, 我用每加侖0.5毫升的酸化劑把它降到5.5, 我將讓它漂升到5.9再把它降回5.5, 這樣大麻可以吸收它所需要的所有養分

1-26-04, Day #10 of Veg:
Cab Temp 76f, RH 55%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 400, pH 5.6.
pH rise to 5.6 & the plants look great.
生長期第10天(總天數15)
種植箱溫度華氏76度, 相對濕度55%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度400PPM, 酸鹼值5.6
酸鹼值小升到5.6, 植株們看起來很好

I'm going out of town until tomorrow night so my son is going to refill the humidifier res. for me this evening, but he won't be able to do it tomorrow morning.
我將要出城直到明天晚上才回來, 因此今晚我的兒子將幫我把加濕器的水箱加滿水, 但是他明天早上沒辦法幫我這個忙

This poses a little problem to keep the humidity above 50% it has to run on high & needs to be filled twice a day.
這使得維持相對濕度在50%以上形成了一個小問題, 要維持濕度, 加濕器必需維持高速運轉, 且一天需要加水兩次

Here's my solution.
My son is going to move the lights to the top of the cab & turn the humidifier to it's lowest setting.
I'm hoping the humidity won't drop below 35% & that the heat will stay below 85f.
I'm also hoping this won't make them stretch. It'll be like this for less than 24 hours so I'm pretty confident everything should be okay when I get back tomorrow.
我只好這麼做
讓我的兒子把燈移到箱子的最高住置, 並把加濕器轉到最低速運轉, 希望這樣做可以保持相對濕度不要低於35%且溫度可以維持在華氏85度以下, 同時我也希望這麼做不會讓這次的植株們長得太細長, 因為這情形只會持續不到24小時, 所以我還蠻有信心當我明晚回來後一切都會沒事

1-27-04, Day #11 of Veg:
Cab Temp 74f, RH 58%, Nutrient Temp 79f, PPM 400, pH 5.7.
生長期第11天(總天數16)
種植箱溫度華氏74度, 相對濕度58%, 營養液溫度華氏79度, 濃度400PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

I got home about 7:00pm & immediately went to check on my babies.
The pH was at 5.7. So everything was fine there. But there were some problems.
我大約晚間七點到家, 立刻去檢查我的寶貝們, 酸鹼值為5.7, 一切看起來還算正常, 但是發生了一些問題

Bad News First
My son accidentally partially closed the vent where the mist comes out of the humidifier & an air bubble had formed across the opening. The res. was still full so there wasn't any humidity being added to the cab for approx. 23 hours.
The humidity was at 22% & the temp was up to 86f.
The other thing that happened was the nutrient temps went up to 81f.
Moving the lights to the top of the cab changed the airflow in the cab. This caused warm air to be circulated around the lower part of the buckets.
Everything was back to normal now & the nutrient temp is slowly coming down.
先說說壞消息, 我兒子意外地關上了部分的加濕器出氣口, 而且在剩餘的開口部分形成了一個氣泡, 加濕器的水箱還是滿的, 因此, 種植箱大約23小時沒有得到濕氣的加濕, 相對濕度掉到22%, 而溫度則高到華氏86度, 另一件發生的事情是營養液的溫度也上升到華氏81度, 把燈泡調到箱內最高的位置這個動作造成箱內的空氣動線改變, 這造成了暖空氣停留在桶子週圍而使得桶內的營養液溫度升高, 不過一切都回歸正常, 營養液的溫度也慢慢地降下來

Now for the Good News
The plants look great & more than doubled in size. They seemed to have enjoyed their little heat spell.
現在來說說好消息
大麻們看起來好極了, 體積長大了起過一倍, 他們看起來很享受這段高溫期

I'm premixing 15 gallons of nutrients in an 18-gallon storage tote to be used for a res. change tomorrow night.
I'm hoping that mixing them 24 hours ahead of time will give me a chance to get the pH stabilized before I do the res. change. The pH always seems to go up for 2 to 3 days after I do a res. change. I think it was HydroSan that told me the phosphoric acid (pH down) gassing off is what causes this.
我正為了明晚的換水而在一個18加侖的儲水桶內預先調製了15加侖的營養液, 希望提前24小時調製, 在時間上足以讓我有機會在換水前把酸鹼值穩定住, 因為現在用的營養液似乎每隔2~3天酸鹼值就會升高, 我認為這是因為水耕所使用的酸化劑(磷酸)汽化掉所造成的

I'm going to bump the ppm of the new nutrients up to 600 with a pH of 5.5.
Here's what I add to accomplish this.
1.5 ml per gal Micro
3.0 ml per gal Grow
1.0 ml per gal Bloom
1.0 ml per gal Silicone
1.5 ml per gal PH Down
I added a little too much Micro & the ppm ended up at 660.
我打算一次把營養液的濃度調高到600PPM, 酸鹼值控制在5.5, 以下是我所加的成分
每加侖1.5毫升的微量元素
每加侖3.0毫升的成長肥
每加侖1.0毫升的開花肥
每加侖1.0毫升的硅樹脂
每加侖1.5毫升的酸化劑
微量元素好像加得太多了些, 最後濃度來到660PPM

I don't think this will be a problem though.
I should have added 1.0 ml. per. gal. instead of 1.5.
The other thing I should have done was wait until after I mixed the nutrients to smoke that bowl of Kali Mist. Fuggin Stoners.
I'll probably have to readjust the pH again before I do the res. change tomorrow.
然而我不認為這是個問題, 我應該以每加侖1.0毫升而不是每加侖1.5毫升的比例來調製, 另一件事情是我應該等到我完成營養液的調製後再開那鍋Kali Mist. Fuggin Stoners(光名字看起來就很殺, 叫Stoner), 我明天大概得要在換水前重新調整一次酸鹼值了(不等正事辦完就開飯的後果:p)

1-28-04, Day #12 of Veg:
Cab Temp 74f, RH 58%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 660, pH 5.5.
生長期第12天(總天數17)
種植箱溫度華氏74度, 相對濕度58%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度660PPM, 酸鹼值5.5

10:00am
I checked the pH & ppm of the nutrients I mixed for the res. change today & as expected the pH rise to 5.8. So I added 0.5 ml per gal pH down to get it back to 5.5.
For the next couple of days I'll keep a close watch on the plants for any signs that the ppm is too high. If I see anything out of the ordinary I let you all know.
To drain the old nutrients, I attach my waterbed pump to the bathroom sink, attach the garden hose, put the other end of the hose in the res., turn on the water at the sink & let it suck the solution from the bubbler.
To add the new nutrients, I have a submersible pump that I place in the bottom of the storage tote I have the new solution in. I have a 10' clear hose attached to the pump that I put in the access hole in the lid of the bubbler. Then I simply turn on the pump & let the bubbler fill.
Now that the roots are in the solution, I keep the level of the nutrients approximately 1/4" below the nets pots.
早上10點：
換水前我再次檢查新混合的營養液酸鹼值和濃度, 一如預期, 酸鹼值升高到5.8, 所以我加了每加侖0.5毫升的酸化劑讓酸鹼值降回5.5, 接下來的幾天內我會持續觀察植株, 看它們是否因為營養液濃度太高而出現任何癥照, 如果有發現任何不尋常的地方我會寫出來讓你們知道, 我用沈水馬達把舊的營養液吸出來, 再把新混合的營養液從預先調合用的18加侖桶子裡抽進去, 現在大麻的根部己經伸進營養液裡, 我把營養液在桶子內的水面高度維持在大約網盆底部之下約1/4英吋的高度

1:00pm
pH was up to 5.8 so I added 0.4 ml per gal pH down to each 5 gal bubbler. This brought it back to 5.5.
午後1點
酸鹼值上升到5.8, 所以我又在每個氣泡桶內加了每加侖0.4毫升的酸化劑讓酸鹼值降回5.5

9:00pm
pH rise to 5.6. Close enough for me, so I'm leaving it there.
酸鹼值小升到5.6, 不算太離譜, 所以我放著沒去理它

Here's a picture of the roots after 12 days of vegetative growth. 這張是生長期12天的根部照片


1-29-04, Day #13 of Veg:
Cab Temp 74f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 650, pH 5.6.
pH was still at 5.6. The ppm dropped 10 parts though. That means the plants are taking in the nutrients.
The secondary growth is really starting to take off as well.
I'll have to start training them soon or they'll get too tall for my cabinet.
生長期第13天(總天數18)
種植箱溫度華氏74度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度650PPM, 酸鹼值5.6
酸鹼值保持在5.6, 然而營養液濃掉了10, 這表示植株們有從營養液裡吸收養分, 第二階段的生長期正要起飛, 我得要快點開始調整莖部和分枝的生長方向, 不然他們會長得太高, 對我的種植箱來說

1-30-04, Day # 14 of Veg:
Cab Temp 73f, RH 61%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 610, pH 5.6.
The pH is still at 5.6.
The ppm dropped to 610.
The plants are really starting to take off now.
The spacing between the nodes is less than 1/2 inch & the stem is getting very thick.
It's going to be slow going getting the tops to bend without breaking them.
I kind of wished they'd have stretched a little more. It would've made training them a lot easier.
生長期第14天(總天數19)
種植箱溫度華氏73度, 相對濕度61%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度610PPM, 酸鹼值5.6
酸鹼值仍然是5.6, 濃度掉到610PPM, 植株們真的開始起飛了, 枝節跟枝節之間的長度少於1/2英吋, 而主莖也越來越粗, 要慢慢開始把他們的頂端彎曲而不能弄傷他們, 我有點希望他們能長得細長些, 這會讓調整他們的生長方向簡單很多(按：品種偏Indica本來就會長得比較粗矮, 枝節也會比較密, 作者的種植條件又這麼專業, 所以枝節會更密莖會更粗壯, 這是正常的, 挑個偏Sativa多一點的品種吧)

Here are a few pictures of how the plants are progressing. 這裡有一些植株們進展現況的照片

1-31-04, Day #15 of Veg:
Cab Temp 73f, RH 64%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 600, pH 5.8.
生長期第15天(總天數20)
種植箱溫度華氏73度, 相對濕度64%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度600PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

The ppm dropped to 600 & the pH dropped to 5.3.
I added 2.5 mil of silicone to each bucket. This brought the pH to 5.8.
You might be wondering why I use silicone to raise the pH instead of pH up.
Silicone raises the pH just fine & the plants are more resistant to stress when you use silicone
The recommended dose of silicone is 2.5 to 5.0 ml per gallon of water. When I do my res. change I only add 1 ml per gallon.
Since I start with substantially less silicone than the recommended dose, I'm able to add it, instead of pH up.
The reason I raised the pH to 5.8 is, I noticed a little leaf curl going on. This could be the first sign of Magnesium deficiency. The plants at pH levels above 5.8 take up Mg & my pH has been below that for a while now. Keeping the pH above 5.8 for a few days will let the plants uptake the mg in the nutrients & should get rid of the leaf curl.
濃度掉到600PPM, 酸鹼值掉到5.3, 我在每個氣泡桶裡加入每加侖2.5毫升的硅樹脂讓酸鹼值升高到5.8, 你可能會好奇為什麼我用硅樹脂來提高酸鹼值而不是用鹼化劑, 硅樹脂很適合用來提高酸鹼值(鹼化), 而且使用硅樹脂會使大麻更有抗壓力, 硅樹脂的建議用量為每加侖水2.5~5.0毫升, 而我換水時的新配方裡面只加了少於建議用量的每加侖水對1毫升, 既然我的實際用量少於建議值, 因此我可以用硅樹脂來代替鹼化劑, 而我把酸鹼值提高到5.8的原因則是我發現到有些葉子正變得捲曲, 這可能是缺少鎂元素(營養液中的鎂來自於微量元素, 就是Micro那瓶)的先期癥照, 大麻在酸鹼值高於5.8時會吸收鎂, 而我的營養液的酸鹼值則低於5.8有一陣子了, 把酸鹼值保持在5.8以上幾天會幫助大麻吸收營養液中的鎂並擺脫葉面捲曲的命運

Here's a picture of the leaf curl I was referring to.
這是一張我所謂的葉面捲曲的照片


2-1-04, Day #16 of Veg:
Cab Temp 71f, RH 64%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 580, pH 5.9.
The ppm dropped to 580 & the pH rise to 5.9. So no adjustments needed.
I started training the plants today LST style.
生長期第16天(總天數21)
種植箱溫度華氏71度, 相對濕度64%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度580PPM, 酸鹼值5.9
濃度掉到580PPM, 酸鹼值升高到5.9, 沒有調整的必要
我開始用低壓調整法修飾主莖的生長方向

Here's a group picture of the plants after training & close ups of the training.
這裡有一張修飾後的照片和修飾的特寫(按：重點在於不能一次彎曲太多, 彎曲太多會把莖部折斷, 修飾用的線或繩子或鐵絲不能太細, 太細會割傷莖, 也不能綁太緊, 綁太緊會影響莖長粗, 這個修飾動作除了因為作者的種植箱不夠高所以不想讓他的大麻長太高之外, 也是一個提高單位產量的方法, 有助於造成多主莖, 因為把主莖拉彎, 變成有點橫向發展, 會造成分枝主莖化, 分枝主莖化會造成多主花苞(cola))


2-2-04, Day #17 of Veg:
Cab Temp 71f, RH 65%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 580, pH 6.0.
生長期第17天(總天數22)
種植箱溫度華氏71度, 相對濕度65%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度580PPM, 酸鹼值6.0

The ppm dropped to 550 & the pH dropped to 5.7.
The plants have finally drunk enough of the solution that I need to add more.
I mixed 2 gallons of water with,
1.5 ml per gal Micro
3.0 ml per gal Grow
1.5 ml per gal Bloom
4.0 ml per gal Silicone
This brought the ppm to 700 & the pH to 7.0.
Each bubbler took 1/2 gal. to get the solution back to just below the bottom of the net pots.
濃度掉到550, 酸鹼值掉到5.7, 這3株大麻終於消耗掉夠多的營養液, 以致於我得要重新添加, 我在2加侖水裡加入了
每加侖1.5毫升的微量元素
每加侖3.0毫升的成長肥
每加侖1.5毫升的開花肥
每加侖4.0毫升的硅樹脂
得到的結果是濃度700PPM酸鹼值7.0的補充液, 每個氣泡桶裡我加入了半加侖的補充液, 讓桶內的營養液水面回到網盆的下緣

After an hour of letting the new solution mix with the old, I checked the ppm & pH. The ppm was 580 & the pH was 6.0.
The pH is a tad high; it will probably drop to 5.9 by tomorrow morning so I'm not going to mess with it.
I was hoping the ppm would be closer to 650, 580 is fine though.
在加入補充液並經過一小時的充分混合後, 我重新度量濃度和酸鹼值, 濃度為580PPM, 酸鹼值為6.0, 酸鹼值有那麼一點點高, 但可能明天就會降回5.9, 所以我不打算動它, 濃度的部分我原本希望能接近650PPM, 然而580PPM也還可以

I retied the tops of the plants today to bend them a bit further downwards.
For the growth hormones to switch to the secondary growth, I need to get the main tops below the tops of the new branches.
Because of the thickness of the stems, I'm bending the tops over a little at a time.
This should keep them from snapping off.
我試著調整植株的頂端讓它更朝下些, 為了讓成長荷爾蒙改為供應次級分枝的成長, 我得要讓主莖頂端的高度低於新的分枝頂端, 但是因為主莖現在的粗細, 我只能一次彎一些些, 這樣才能確保他們不會折斷

2-3-04, Day #18 of Veg:
Cab Temp 71f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 550, pH 5.9.
The pH dropped to 5.9 as expected.
生長期第18天(總天數23)
種植箱溫度華氏71度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度550PPM, 酸鹼值5.9
酸鹼值一如預期地掉到5.9

The ppm dropped 30 points too. It looks like the plants are going to start seriously sucking up the nutrients.
Next time I add top up solution I'll bring the total ppm of the nutrients up to 800.
I didn't retie any of the training wires today. I'll let the branches grow another day before I pull them back down.
The secondary growth is already starting to grow past the tied top & will need to be tied down within the next couple of days.
Raising the pH has stopped the leaf curl. Having the pH to low was locking the mg out.
That's why it's important to let the pH drift.
濃度也掉了30個PPM, 看起來這三個小傢伙正要開始認真的吸收養分, 所以下次要補充營養液時我打算調出濃度高達800PPM補充液, 我今天沒有調整修正主莖生長方向的鐵絲, 我將讓分枝多長一天再把它們往下拉, 分枝的成長在開始修正主莖方向後己經展開, 接下來的幾天需要把他們往下拉, 提高酸鹼值則有效地阻止了葉面捲曲, 較酸的營養液(較低的酸鹼值)阻擋了鎂的吸收, 這就是為什麼讓酸鹼值保持浮動很重要

2-4-04, Day #19 of Veg:
Cab Temp 71f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 69f, PPM 500, pH 5.9.
生長期第19天(總天數24)
種植箱溫度華氏71度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏69度, 濃度500PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

Good News. The plants have alternating nodes on several of the secondary growths branches & it looks like the main stem on two of the plants are starting to alternate as well. This is the first time I've ever had plants do this after only 19 days of veg. I'm going to keep them in veg for at least another week to get more potential bud sites.
好消息：植株在節點的部分開始長出分枝, 而且在其中2株上看起來就像主莖一樣開始有替代的意味, 才種19天就長出替代分枝的, 這還是我的頭一遭呢, 我將最少再讓他們成長個一週以得到更多潛在的花苞位置

The ppm dropped 50 points overnight. So like I said before, the plants are really starting to suck up the nutrients.
The pH stayed at 5.9, which kind of surprised me. I expected it to drop a little.
When I top up the res. tomorrow I'm going to bring the ppm up to 800 & drop the pH to 5.7.
I did some more training this morning.
I retied the main stem to keep it below the rest of the growth & tied down a couple of the tallest new branches as well.
The plants are doing awesome & getting very bushy.
才過了一晚, 濃度就掉了50個PPM, 就像我之前所說的, 他們真的開始吸收大量的營養液了, 而酸鹼值停留在5.9則讓我小意外, 我原本預期在酸鹼值會小掉一些, 明天我補充營養液時, 我打算把濃度調高到800個PPM, 並把酸鹼值降到5.7, 我今天早上針對主莖生長方向做了更多修正, 我把主莖重綁讓它比其它的分枝更低, 同時也多綁了一些新的分枝, 植株們表現得很好, 漸漸長得非常茂盛

Here are a few pictures.
The nutrient burn you see is from me not being careful. Every once in a while, (actually, quite often) I accidentally drip nutrients on them when I check the pH & ppm.
I'm not worried though, as these leaves will end up getting trimmed after the flowering stretch stops.
I'll get more into trimming when the time comes.
Anyway, here are the pictures.
以下是今天的一些照片, 你在照片上看到的營養液灼傷是我不小心造成的, 每隔一段時間(其實還蠻常的)每當我檢查濃度和酸鹼值時, 都會不小心殘留一些小水滴在葉面上, 然而我並不怎麼擔心這件事, 因為這些葉子在開花前的分枝伸展停止後都會被修剪掉, 當時機成熟時, 我還會修掉更多的葉子, 總之, 來看以下的照片吧

2-5-04, Day #20 of Veg:
Cab Temp 76f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 900, pH 5.7.
生長期第20天(總天數25)
種植箱溫度華氏76度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度900PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

The pH was still at 5.9 but the ppm had dropped to 450 & the res. temp was down to 67f.
I added 1/2 gallon of top up solution to each bubbler, with a ppm of 1600 pH'd to 5.0.
Here's what I added to two gallons of water to make the top up solution.
4.5 ml per gal Micro
9.0 ml per gal Grow
4.5 ml per gal Bloom
2.5 ml per gal pH Down
酸鹼值仍保在5.9, 但濃度卻掉到只剩450, 另外, 氣泡桶內的溫度掉到只剩華氏67度, 我在每個氣泡桶內加了各半加侖濃度1,600PPM酸鹼值5.0的補充液來恢復水位, 以下是我在補充用的2加侖水加的成分
每加侖4.5毫升的微量元素
每加侖9.0毫升的成長肥
每加侖4.5毫升的開花肥
每加侖2.5毫升的酸化劑

To raise the res. temp, I used 90f water to make the top up solution.
After adding this to the res., the pH went down to 5.8, the ppm only went up to 580 & the res. temp is at 72f.
Well, the res. temp is the only thing that ended up where I wanted it.
為了要提高氣泡桶內營養液的水溫, 我用華氏90度的溫水來調配補充液, 在補充液加入之後, 酸鹼值回到5.8, 濃度卻只上升到580PPM, 而水溫則為華氏72度
口厄, 只有營養液的水溫達到我所希望的水準

Now I'm going to add nutrients directly to the res. to try & get the ppm of the solution up.
Here's what I added directly to each bubbler to bring the ppm up to 800.
Each bubbler holds approximately 4.5 gallons of solution.
5 ml per bubbler Micro
10 ml per bubbler Grow
5 ml per bubbler Bloom
現在我打算直接把肥料直接加到氣泡桶內, 而不是先在桶外調配補充液再加入氣泡桶, 試著把濃度調高, 以下是我希望把濃度調高到800PPM而在氣泡桶內加入的成分, 每個氣泡桶內有大約4.5加侖的液體
每加侖5.0毫升的微量元素
每加侖10亮升的成長肥
每加侖5毫升的開花肥

After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 900 & the pH was 5.7.
That's exactly where I wanted the pH but the ppm ended up a little higher than expected.
I don’t think it will be a problem, but I’ll be watching the plants very closely for any sign of nutrient toxicity.
當我把這些肥料加入氣泡桶後, 濃度來到900個PPM, 酸鹼值則為5.7, 酸鹼值剛剛好符合我的期望, 但是濃度卻比我所想要的高了些, 我不認為這會是個問題, 但我仍會仔細觀察是否有營養液中毒的癥照

I moved the circulation fan to on top of the humidifier the first of February to see how it would affect the temp & humidity. If you go back & look at the daily stats you’ll see the temp has been 71f since then.
To bring the temps back up, I taped the exhaust hole in the floor of my cab closed & opened the one in the side of the cab.
I’m hoping that closing the hole that has been letting cold air in & opening the hole that lets room temp air in will keep the res. temps from getting so low.
The intake air seems to circulate around the bubbler before it gets sucked out at the top of the cab & I think that’s why the res. temps have been dropping.
If the cab temp stays below 80f I’ll be a happy camper as this will eliminate having to add the extra fan during flowering.
It’s really amazing how moving things around in the cab can make such a difference in the environment.
我在二月初時把種植箱內空氣循環用的風扇移到加濕器的出氣口上方, 想藉此試試看會對箱內的溫度和濕度造成什麼樣的影響, 如果你回頭去看看每天的統計, 你將會發現從那時候開始, 溫度就一直維持在華氏71度, 為了要把箱內溫度提高, 我把種植箱底部的通風孔貼上膠帶, 並把種植箱側邊的通風孔打開, 我預期將讓冷空氣進入的通風孔關起來以及打開讓室溫(暖)空氣進入的通風孔能維持營養液的溫度不要掉到那麼低, 吸入種植箱的空氣看起來在氣泡桶週圍繞了幾圈才被種植箱上方的排氣風扇抽出種植箱, 而我認為這是造成營養液的溫度一直掉的原因, 如果這樣做能讓營養液溫度提高但又能讓箱內溫度保持在華氏80度以下, 我會樂見其成, 因為這可以排除開花期間我必需增加循環風扇的可能, 在箱子內簡單移動幾項設備的擺放位置竟能造成種植環境如此不同, 真是神奇

Here’s a picture of the roots for those of you that were wondering what they should look like at this point in the grow.
這是一張這個生長階段的根部照片(按：很神奇吧, 不到一個月的時間, 根已經長成這樣, 這就是為什麼種大麻對生態以及水土保持非常有利的原因, 地面下的發展遠比地面上的發展來得快速而茂盛)


2-6-04, Day #21 of Veg:
Cab Temp 75f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 870, pH 5.7
生長期第21天(總天數26)
種植箱溫度華氏75度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度870PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

With the cold air intake closed, the temp rise to 82f & the humidity went up to 75%.
So I opened back up the cold air intake & left the warm air intake open as well.
Now the temp is staying at 75f & the humidity is down to 60%. Much better.
It looks like I’m going to have to do the dryer vent & extra fan bit for flowering after all. Bummer, it’s a pain in the ass redoing all the electrical wiring.
I tied down several more branches today. The training is coming along kind of slowly because of the thickness of the stems. If I pull the tops down too much, they’ll snap right off.
Just another case of slow & steady wins the race.
當冷空氣進氣孔關上後, 箱內溫度上升到華氏82度, 濕度上升到75%, 因此, 我把冷空氣進氣孔再度打開, 並保持著冷空氣進氣孔和暖空氣進氣孔同時開著, 這樣一來, 溫度持平在華氏75度, 濕度則降到60%, 好多了, 看起來我得多做一個乾空氣進氣孔以及開花期間得花點心思在循環風扇上, 鄉民們, 重做電氣接線是件痛苦萬分的事, 我今天又多調整幾根分枝的生長方向, 但是整個修飾調整的腳步因為主莖越長越粗壯而顯得有些緩慢, 如果我再多往下拉些, 他們將會馬上被折斷, 又是另一個緩慢和平穩贏得比賽的例子(最後這句還沒領悟出來, 先別考我)

2-7-04, Day #22 of Veg:
Cab Temp 73f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 70f, PPM 840, pH 5.6
生長期第22天(總天數27)
種植箱溫度華氏73度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏70度, 濃度840PPM, 酸鹼值5.6

Not much to do today. The cab temp dropped a little & so did the res. temp.
I noticed symptoms of nitrogen deficiency starting to show on a few of the leaves while I was retying the branches today. I’m fairly certain this was caused from having the ppm of the nutrients too low. I’ll keep an eye out to see if it gets any worse, but I doubt that it will since I raised the ppm of the solution.
The plants are growing like crazy now. They really like the higher ppm.
There are alternating nodes everywhere. Even on the main stem.
Even though I could start flowering anytime, I’m going to keep training them for another week to create more bud sites.
今天沒什麼事可做, 種植箱溫度小降一點點, 連帶的也使得氣泡桶內的營養液溫度小降一點點, 調整分枝生長方向時有在一些葉子上發現一些缺少氮成分所引起的症侯, 我相當確信這是因為營養液中氮的濃度太低所造成的, 我會把注意力放在這方面, 看看是否有任何惡化的情形, 但我懷疑它會惡化, 因為我已經把營養液的整體濃度調得這麼高了, 現在, 植株們像發了瘋似地瘋狂長大, 他們真的很甲意高濃度的營養液, 他們長得到處都是分枝, 連主莖上都有, 雖然已經隨時可以開始催花, 但我想繼續修飾生長方向一週, 以創造出更多的花苞(生長期才22天已經可以進入花期嚕)

Here are a few pictures of the plants at the start of their 3rd week in veg.
There’s also a close up of what the beginning symptoms of nitrogen deficiency look like.
以下有一些生長期第3週初期的照片, 另外有一張缺氮初期的葉面特寫

Here's a picture of the flowering area, the staples you see are for training.

2-8-04, Day #23 of Veg:
Cab Temp 72f, RH 58%, Nutrient Temp 68f, PPM 800, pH 5.3
生長期第23天(總天數28)
種植箱溫度華氏72度, 相對濕度58%, 營養液溫度華氏68度, 濃度800PPM, 酸鹼值5.3

Everything’s going as planned. The plants are drinking up the nutrients & growing like crazy.
一切發展都如預期, 大麻們努力地吸收養分, 並且像瘋了似的成長

I had to retie all the branches again today to keep them low & even.
The pH dropped fairly dramatically last night. I know my meter is calibrated, so I think the plants are telling me it’s time for a solution change. They’ve only drunken 1 gallon of solution since the last res. change, but the last res. change was 11 days ago. So tomorrow they get brand new nutrients.
The reason they’re not drinking a lot of the solution, is I’ve been keeping the humidity above 60% & the temps below 75f. This keeps the leaves from transpiring very much.
今天我把所有的分枝重新綁過, 讓它們保持較低而平均的高度, 經過昨晚, 酸鹼值明顯地下降, 我確信酸鹼值計筆有重新校準過, 所以我想這是大麻們在告訴我換營養液的時間到了, 自從上次換水到現在已經過了11天, 而他們才消耗了1加侖的營養液, 所以他們明天會得到全新的營養液配方, 他們消耗不了那麼多營養液的原因是我保持著濕度高於60%以及箱內溫度低於華氏75度, 這讓葉面不會蒸散非常多水分

When the temp gets above 80f & the humidity drops below 50%, the leaves start transpiring a lot more, making the roots suck up more of the solution.
If you have temp & humidity levels like this, the roots can uptake more nutrients than the plants can use. So you need to lower the ppm of your solution or your plants may suffer nutrient burn.
當溫度高過華氏80度且濕度降到低於50%時, 葉面會蒸散多很多的水分, 使得根部輸送更多的營養液, 如果你把溫濕度維持在這樣的水平, 根部會送上多於大麻消耗能力的養分, 這樣一來你就必需降低營養液濃度不然大麻就會遭受營養液灼傷

2-9-04. Day #24 of Veg:
Cab Temp 75f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 78f, PPM 1050, pH 5.7.
生長期第24天(總天數29)
種植箱溫度華氏75度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏78度, 濃度1050PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

1:00pm
I changed the solution today.
The new solution is at 1050ppm pH’d to 5.5.
Since the res. temp has been dropping on a regular basis, I adjusted the new solution to 78f. This should keep it from dropping below 68f, if not I’ll use warm water when I top it up.
This is what I added to the water to get the ppm & pH of the new solution where I wanted it.
2.5 ml per gal Micro
5 ml per gal Grow
1.5 ml per gal Bloom
1 ml per gal Silicone
3.5 ml per gal pH Down
午後1點進行換水動作, 新的營養液成分為濃度1,050個PPM, 酸鹼值為5.5, 既然營養液的溫度基本上都會規律地下降, 我調整新營液的溫度為華氏78度, 這應該可以避免它降到低於華氏68度, 如果它仍然降到底於華氏68度, 將來補充水分(營養液)時我將使用溫水, 以下是我為了得到我想要的濃度和酸鹼值而在新的營養液裡加入的成分
每加侖2.5毫升的微量元素
每加侖5毫升的成長肥
每加侖1.5毫升的開花肥
每加侖1毫升的硅樹脂
每加侖3.5毫升的酸化劑

3:00pm
After being in the bubbler for 2 hours, the pH has risen to 5.9.
I added another 1 mil per gal pH down to bring it back down to 5.5.
I’ll check it again in a few hours & readjust if needed.
午後3點, 換水過後兩小時, 我再次檢查營養液, 酸鹼值升高來到5.9, 我另外加了每加侖1毫升的酸化劑使它降回5.5, 我將在幾個小時內再次重新檢查, 如果有需要的話就再調整

7:00pm
pH is at 5.7 & the ppm has already dropped to 1000.
I’ll check the pH again before I go to bed. If it goes above 5.7 I’ll lower it again.

晚上7點, 酸鹼值再次升高到5.7, 而濃度己經降到1,000個PPM, 我將在睡前再次檢驗,屆時如果酸鹼值高過5.7, 我將再次酸化它

12:00am
pH was up to 5.9 so I added 0.5 ml per gal. pH down.
The pH is now 5.6.
晚上12點, 酸鹼值升高到5.9, 所以我加了每加侖0.5毫升的酸化劑, 讓它降回5.6

Here are a few pictures showing how the training is coming along.
One of the goals with training is to keep the canopy even. So far I think I’m doing pretty good.
這裡有一些調整(修飾)分枝的照片, 其中的一個主花苞被調整到讓整個所有的花苞頂端看起來平整而漂亮, 目前為止我覺得自己做得還不錯

Keeping the canopy nice & even 讓所有的主幹和分枝距離拉開並把高的部分拉低, 所以整個頂部的高度看起來相當平均而且漂亮:

2-10-04, Day #25 of Veg:
Cab Temp 70f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 68f, PPM 970, pH 5.7.
生長期第25天(總天數30)
種植箱溫度華氏70度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏68度, 濃度970PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

Lots of things happened overnight.
First, the cab temp dropped to 70f making the res. temp drop to 68f.
So I closed the cold air intake, now the cab temp is at 77f. Hopefully this will bring the res. temp up as well.
過了一晚, 發生了很多事情, 首先, 種植箱溫度掉到華氏70度, 這使得營養液溫度跟著掉到華氏68度, 因此, 我把種植箱底部的冷空氣進氣孔關上, 使得箱內溫度回升到華氏77度, 希望這可以讓營養液溫度跟著回升

Second, the pH dropped to 5.3.
So I added 0.5 ml per gal silicone. Now the pH is at 5.7.
第二, 酸鹼值掉到5.3, 因此我在每個氣泡桶內加入每加侖0.5毫升的硅樹脂, 現在的酸鹼值為5.7

Third, the ppm has dropped 80 parts since the nutrient change yesterday & each plant has drunk about ¼ gal of the solution.
So no adjustment needed for this. I’ll get the ppm back up when I top up the res.
第三, 自從昨天換水過後, 濃度己經掉了80個PPM, 而且每株大麻各消耗了1/4加侖的營養液, 這個部分沒有調整的必要, 我將在補充營養液時再把濃度調回來

I’ve decided to stop the training as of today. The plants are 8½” tall, nice & bushy, with lots of potential bud sites.
I’ll still tie them to keep the branches at an even height & an even distance from each other, but I won’t be pulling the tops over any more.
Once the flowering stretch is over, the branches should stay where they’ve been trained to, without any ties.
I’m figuring they’ll be about 10” tall by Saturday, (The Start of 12/12) & if they stretch to 3 times their starting height, they should end up about 30” tall at the end of flowering. If they get taller than 36” they’ll be in the lights.
我決定今天不做分枝生長調整, 大麻們己經長到8½英吋高了, 漂亮且茂密, 還帶有一堆可能的花苞, 我仍舊把分枝們綁著讓他們維持平均的高度以及彼此之間的距離平均, 但我不打算把頂部再往下拉, 當開花前的伸展期結束時, 分枝們應該不用綁就可以維持在他們現在的位置, 我發現到, 星期六(預計開始12/12光照進入花期的日子)之前他們將長到10英吋高, 如果他們在伸展期長成開始花期時的3倍高, 花期結束時將長到30英吋那麼高, 如果他們長到超過36英吋, 他們的頂端將伸進燈罩裡和燈泡在一起

2-11-04, Day #26 of Veg:
Cab Temp 77f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 930, pH 5.6.
生長期第26天(總天數31)
種植箱溫度華氏77度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度930PPM, 酸鹼值5.6

Nutrients, temps & humidity are looking good today. No adjustments necessary.
The res. temps are back in the 70s & the cab temp is staying at 77f.
I noticed the tips of the newest growth on the main colas are turning yellow & pointing down.
I think this is from too high a ppm when I changed the solution the last time.
今天的營養液, 溫度和濕度都看起來不錯, 沒有調整的必要, 營養液的溫度回到華氏70幾度, 而種植箱溫度則維持在華氏77度, 我發現到新分枝的尖端有些轉黃並且指向下方的跡象, 我認為這因為我上次換水的濃度太高所造成的


2-12-04, Day #27 of Veg:
Cab Temp 77f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 750, pH 5.9.
生長期第27天(總天數32)
種植箱溫度華氏77度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度750PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

I added 1 gallon of plain 6.8 pH’d water to each res. today.
This brought the ppm down from 900 to 750 & raised the pH from 5.6 to 5.9.
This should stop the leaf tips from getting any more nutrient burn.
The plants are now 10” tall. So I’m going to start flowering tonight instead of Saturday.
I turned the lights off at 11:00pm. Let the stretch begin.
今天, 我加了一加侖酸鹼值6.8的水進氣泡桶, 這讓濃度從900降到750PPM, 並把酸鹼值從5.6升到5.9, 這應該有助於避免葉子再受到任何營養液灼傷, 大麻們現在已經長到10英吋高了, 所以我打算開始進入花期而不等到原本預訂的星期六, 我在晚上11點關燈開始進入開花期前的分枝伸展期

Here are a few pictures I took just before I turned off the lights.
這裡有一些關燈前的照片

2-13-04, Day #1 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 77f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 720, pH 5.9.
開花期第1天(總天數33)
種植箱溫度華氏77度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度720PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

Not much to report, other than the plants grew about 1 ½”.
I’m not going to post my lights off temp everyday, as it is always between 66f & 68F.
除了大麻們一夜之間長高了1.5英吋之外, 沒什麼好報告的
開花期間每晚關燈後的溫度都維持在華氏66~68度之間, 所以我不打算每天貼出關燈後的溫度

2-14-04, Day #2 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 77f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 720, pH 5.9.
Everything stayed the same since yesterday other than the plants grew another 2”.
開花期第2天(總天數34)
種植箱溫度華氏77度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度720PPM, 酸鹼值5.9
除了大麻們各長高了2英吋之外其它都維持和昨天一樣

Cab Temp 77f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 950, pH 5.8.
開花期第3天(總天數35)
種植箱溫度華氏77度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度950PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

The plants grew another 1 ½". That makes them 15” tall now.
A few preflowers are starting to show but not enough to tell the sex yet.
I topped up the bubblers this evening.
This is what I added to 2 gallons of water.
7.5 ml per gal Micro
7.5 ml per gal Grow
15 ml per gal Bloom
5 ml per gal pH Down
After adding approximately 2/3-gallon of this to each bubbler, the ppm was 950 & the pH was 5.8.
大麻們又再長高.5英吋, 幾天下來他們己經長到總共15英吋高了, 己經可以看到一些預備花苞, 但還不足以判斷性別, 傍晚時我把氣泡桶加滿水, 以下是我在2加侖的水裡加入的成分
每加侖7.5毫升的微量元素
每加侖7.5毫升的成長肥
每加侖15毫升的開花肥
每加侖5毫升的酸化劑
在每個氣泡桶裡加入大約2/3加侖的上述配方後, 桶內濃度為950PPM, 酸鹼值為5.8

I was hoping this would bring the pH down to 5.6. To get it down to 5.6, I added 2 ml pH down directly to each bubbler.
I also tied back a few of the branches to let more light & fresh air get to the middle of the plants.
When I put the plants back in the cab, I rearranged where they were.
I tried to get the parts of the plants with the slowest growth directly under the light. Hopefully this will help get this slower growth to speed up.
我原本希望加入的配方能把酸鹼值降到5.6的, 為了把桶內的酸鹼值降郅5.6, 我在每個氣泡桶內多加了2毫升的酸化劑, 同時我又把一些分技往下拉, 好讓更多的光線和新鮮空氣能進到植株們的中心位置, 當我把植株們放回箱內時, 我重新安排了他們的位置, 試著把生長較緩慢的部分放在燈泡的正下方, 希望這樣能讓這些生長較慢的部分加快生長速度

Here are several pictures of the plants out of the cab & 1 picture of them in their new positions.
The last picture shows the mist from the humidifier being blown into the lights.
It doesn’t seem to hurt the bulbs & I’ve been able to keep the cab temp below 80 with the cold air intake closed.
This works so well at keeping the lights cool, I can put my hand on the top of the reflector & it’s cool to the touch.
以下是幾張植株們被移到箱外的照片和一張放回箱內的新位置的照片, 最後一張可以看出加濕器噴出的霧氣吹進燈罩裡的情形, 看起來對燈泡沒什麼損傷, 而且這樣我可以在冷空氣進氣孔關起來的狀態下把箱內的溫度維持在低於華氏80度, 這對降低燈泡溫度很有幫助, 我可以把手放在反光罩的上面而且覺得觸感很清涼

放這張照片只因為我覺得它太酷了

放回種植箱後所有大麻的頂端的高度平均地漂亮像個天蓬似的

Here's the picture showing the mist going into the lights.
這張可以看出加濕器噴出的霧氣直接噴往燈裡


2-16-04, Day #4 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 77f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 960, pH 5.6.
I was out of town & left the plants unattended today.
開花期第4天(總天數36)
種植箱溫度華氏77度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度960PPM, 酸鹼值5.6
我今天有事出城去了, 所以沒人照顧他們

2-17-04, Day #5 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 75f, RH 63%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 970, pH 5.5.
No major changes, just lots of stretching going on.
There’s no sign of sex yet, hopefully there will be at least one female.
開花期第5天(總天數37)
種植箱溫度華氏75度, 相對濕度63%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度970PPM, 酸鹼值5.5
沒什麼太大的變化, 只是伸展了很多, 還是無法分辨他們的性別, 希望最少會有一株是雌的

2-18-04, Day #6 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 75f, RH 63%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1350, pH 5.4.
開花期第6天(總天數38)
種植箱溫度華氏75度, 相對濕度63%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1350PPM, 酸鹼值5.4

I topped up the bubbler today.
Here’s what I added to the top up water.
7.5 ml per gal Micro
7.5 ml per gal Grow
15 ml per gal Bloom
2 ml per gal pH Down
After adding 1 gal of solution to each bubbler the ppm was 1350 with a pH of 5.3.
今天幫氣泡桶補充營養液, 以下是我所加的成分
每加侖7.5毫升的微量元素
每加侖7.5毫升的成長肥
每加侖15毫升的開花肥
每加侖2毫升的酸化劑
加了補充液後, 氣泡桶內的濃度為1,350PPM, 酸鹼值為5.3

The plants are stretching like crazy & are now 19” tall.
While I had the plants out of the cab I did a search for any signs of what sex they might be & to my surprise, the 2 tallest plants are both female.
I still can’t tell what sex the smallest plant is, but it should show in the next day or two.
分枝伸展得像瘋了一樣, 他們己經長到19英吋高了, 當我把他們移出種植箱時, 我蒐尋了一下他們的性癥, 很令人驚喜的是其中最高的那兩株可以確定都是雌的, 反而是最小的那株還看不出來是什麼性別, 不過應該再過一兩天就可以看出來了

Here are a few pictures of what female pistils look like.
以下有幾張雌花的花蕊的長相的照片(判斷雌花的依據)


2-19-04, Day #7 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 77f, RH 55%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 1320, pH 5.4.
Not much to report today, everything’s going as planned & the plants seem to like the higher ppm levels.
開花期第7天(總天數39)
種植箱溫度華氏77度, 相對濕度55%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度1320PPM, 酸鹼值5.4
一切都如預期, 所以今天也沒什麼好報告的, 大麻們看起來似乎喜歡較高濃度的營養液

Here’s a picture of the entire cabinet. As you can see, the plants don’t have a whole lot of room to grow.
And here’s a picture of the canopy. I had to raise the shortest plant to keep it even with the other two.
這是一張整個種植箱的照片, 可以看得出來, 大麻們沒有太多的空間可以再長大, 另一張照片則是天蓬(平頂)的照片, 我得要把最矮的那株拉高, 才能讓他和另兩株保持平均高度


2-20-04, Day #8 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 76f, RH 62%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 1400, pH 5.3.
開花期第8天(總天數40)
種植箱溫度華氏76度, 相對濕度62%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度1400PPM, 酸鹼值5.3

The ppm rise a bit, which means the plants are using more water than nutrients.
I’m fairly certain at this point that the smallest plant is a male. No big deal. The other two plants can use the extra room.
As soon as I see a cluster of balls on a stick I’ll remove it from the cab.
濃度上升了一點點, 這表示了大麻們吸收水分多過吸收養分
今天終於能確定最小的那株是雄的, 沒什麼大不了, 兩株雌的可以使用多出來的空間, 當我一看到枝幹上的小珠珠(判斷雄株的方法), 我立刻把雄的這株大麻移出種植箱

Here’s a picture of what I’m 100% sure is a male preflower.
下面這張就是讓我100%確定他是雄株的雄株前期花苞照片


2-21-04, Day #9 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 79f, RH 55%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1450, pH 5.7.
開花期第9天(總天數41)
種植箱溫度華氏79度, 相對濕度55%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1450PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

I pulled the male plant today & topped up the other two bubblers with the solution from the bubbler the male plant was in.
If you’ve noticed, the pH has been really low the last few days.
That’s because I didn’t calibrate my pH pen when I should have & it was off by 4/10ths of a point.
To get the pH back in the proper range I added 1 ml per gal of silicone, which brought the pH up to 5.7.
今天把雄的那株移掉, 並把他的氣泡桶內的營養液分給剩下的兩株母株, 如果你有注意到, 酸鹼值在過去幾天內保持的非常低(酸), 那是因為應該要重新校準酸鹼值計(筆)而我沒做, 它己經(4/10)不準確了, 為了把酸鹼值調回適當的範圍, 我每加侖1毫升的硅樹脂把酸鹼值調升回5.7

2-22-04, Day #10 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 76f, RH 58%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1470, pH 5.8.
Everything’s looking good, so there’s not much to report today.
開花期第10天(總天數42)
種植箱溫度華氏76度, 相對濕度58%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1470PPM, 酸鹼值5.8
一切看來正常, 所以今天沒什麼好報告的

2-23-04, Day #11 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 76f, RH 60%, Nutrie Temp 76f, PPM 1475, pH 6.1.
開花期第11天(總天數43)
種植箱溫度華氏76度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏76度, 濃度1475PPM, 酸鹼值6.1

Some of the leaf tips were burned today from the high ppm of the nutrient solution.
So I guess its time to switch to the flowering mix.
Since the flowering mix has less nitrogen, I don’t believe the high ppm will be a problem.
The plants are still stretching & are now 23” tall.
Here’s what I added to 10 gallons of water to make the new solution.
6 ml per gal Micro
2.5 ml per gal Grow
11 ml per gal Bloom
This made the ppm of the new solution 1450 with a pH of 5.9.
After adding this to the bubbler the ppm was 1475 with a pH of 6.1.
今天, 有一些葉子的尖端因為營養液濃度太高而灼傷了, 所以我猜想是時候更換成開花期的配方了, 既然開花配方只含很少量的氮, 我就不相信高濃度還會成為問題, 植株們仍在伸展(長高), 他們己經23英吋高了, 以下是我在10加侖新配方裡加的成分
每加侖6毫升的微量元素
每加侖2.5毫升的成長肥
每加侖11毫升的開花肥
這樣調出來的濃度為1450PPM, 酸鹼值為5.9
把這配方加入氣泡桶後, 濃度為1475, 酸鹼值為6.1

Here are a few pictures of how the plants are progressing.
以下是一些大麻們現在的進展的照片

2-24-04, Day #12 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 76f, RH 60%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1380, pH 6.0.
開花期第12天(總天數44)
種植箱溫度華氏76度, 相對濕度60%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1380PPM, 酸鹼值6.0

The pH went up to 6.4 overnight so I added 1.5 ml per gal pH down to get the pH to 6.0.
The plants really sucked up a lot of nutrients last night as well.
酸鹼值一夜之間升高到6.4, 因此我加了每加侖1.5毫升的酸化劑讓酸鹼值降回6.0
同時, 大麻們在晚天夜裡也著實吸收了很多養分

2-25-04, Day #13 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 76f, RH 58%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1360, pH 5.7.
開花期第13天(總天數45)
種植箱溫度華氏76度, 相對濕度58%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1360PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

The pH was at 6.1 this morning, so I added 2 ml pH down per gal to get the pH to 5.7.
The plants are still stretching (they’re 27” tall now) & starting to produce more pistils.
今天早上酸鹼值升到6.1, 我因此加了每加侖2毫升的酸化劑讓酸鹼值降回5.7, 大麻們還在繼續伸展(他們己經27英吋高了)並生出更多的花蕊

2-26-04, Day #14 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 75f, RH 58%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1400, pH 5.9.
開花期第14天(總天數46)
種植箱溫度華氏75度, 相對濕度58%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1400PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

The pH dropped to 5.5 overnight, which really surprised me. I thought it would start to drift up on a regular basis with the flowering nutrients.
They drank a lot of water since yesterday as well, causing the ppm to go up to 1450.
So, I added 1 ½ ml per gal silicone to each bubbler along with 40oz of r/o water.
This brought the pH to 5.9 & the ppm to 1400.
For the last week I’ve been pulling off dead fan leaves from the lower part of the plants.
酸鹼值一夜之間掉到5.5, 著實讓我嚇了一跳, 我認為應該以開花養分為基礎讓酸鹼值回升, 他們昨天也消耗了很多水分, 造成濃度升高到1,450PPM, 因此我在每個氣泡桶裡加了每加侖1.5毫升的硅樹脂和40盎司的R/O水(逆滲透水), 這使得酸鹼值為5.9, 濃度為1,400PPM, 在過去的一週內, 我不斷地把大麻底部週圍的己經死掉(枯掉)的葉子拔掉

The fan leaves dying off at this stage of the grow is very normal as the light can’t penetrate to the bottom branches.
Be careful not to pull them too soon. Leave them alone until you can pull them off with a light tug.
They should be fairly crispy by then. Pulling them off too soon rob your plants of the nutrients that are stored in the leaves.
I’ve also been trimming off a few of the small lower branches. I know from experience that they won’t amount to much of anything & I’d rather not waste the time or energy letting them grow. To keep the plants from going into shock, I don’t trim more than 1 a day & never more than a couple a week.
在這個成長階段, 因為光線無法穿透層層分枝照到底部, 所以主幹底部周圍的葉子慢慢乾枯掉落是佷正常的現象, 小心不要太早把他們拔掉, 把他們留到輕輕一拉就可以拔掉, 那個時候的底部的葉子應該乾枯到有點脆脆的了, 太快動手把他們拔掉等於搶走已經儲存在葉子裡的養分, 我也曾經修剪過一些底部的小分枝, 我從經驗中得知, 那些底部的小分枝不會產生太多的任何東西, 我寧願不要浪費時間或養分在等他們長大和成熟, 要避免驚嚇到植株, 我一天之內不會修剪超過一個分枝, 一週內不會修剪超過兩次

Here are a few pictures of the girls at the end of the 2nd week of flowering.
There is also a picture of the lower branches showing the trimming I’ve done & a picture of how crispy a leaf has to be before I’ll pull it off.
底下是一些開花期兩週過後的女孩們的照片, 其中一張可以看出我所做的分枝修剪, 最後一張則可以看出葉子乾枝到什麼程度我才把它拔掉

2-27-04, Day #15 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 75f, RH 58%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1500, pH 5.8.
開花期第15天(總天數47)
種植箱溫度華氏75度, 相對濕度58%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1500PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

The plants drank over a gallon of water each since yesterday so the ppm is now up to 1500 with a pH of 5.5.
The plants don’t seem to mind the higher ppm, so I’m going to leave it there. But I will get the pH back up.
從昨天到現在大麻們喝了超過1加侖的水, 所以濃度高到1,500PPM, 酸鹼值為5.5, 他們看起來不在乎較高的濃度, 所以我不打算理會濃度, 但是我要把酸鹼值調回來

I added 1 gal top up solution to each bubbler today.
This is what I added to the 2 gallons of top up solution.
5 ml per gal Micro
2.5 ml per gal Grow
10 ml per gal Bloom
2 ml per gal Silicone
After adding this to the bubbler the pH was 5.8 & the ppm was 1500.
The plants are still stretching & are now 31” tall.
That leaves me about 5 more inches to move the light up before I run out of room.
我在氣泡桶裡各加了1加侖補充液, 以下是我在2加侖水裡加的成分
每加侖5毫升的微量元素
每加侖2.5毫升的成長肥
每加侖10毫升的開花肥
每加侖2毫升的硅樹脂
當我把這些補充液加入氣泡桶後, 濃度還是1,500個PPM, 酸鹼值則回升到5.8, 大麻們仍在努力伸展, 現在已經有31英吋高了, 這使得我只剩下5英吋的高度可以讓他們長高, 再高, 種植箱就要不夠用了

2-28-04, Day #16 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 75f, RH 58%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1500, pH 5.7.
開花期第16天(總天數48)
種植箱溫度華氏75度, 相對濕度58%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1500PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

Not much going on today but stretching, 2 more inches since yesterday. They’re now 33” tall. I hope the stretch stops soon.
There’s no sign of nutrient burn from the higher ppm so I’m going to leave it at 1500 until the next res. change.
今天沒發生什麼事, 但比昨天又高了2英吋, 他們已經33英吋高了, 沒有進一步營養液灼傷的跡象, 所以我將維持1,500個PPM的濃度直到下一次換水

2-29-04, Day #17 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 75f, RH 58%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1500, pH 5.8.
開花期第17天(總天數49)
種植箱溫度華氏75度, 相對濕度58%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1500PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

The plants drank about ½ gal of water last night, which brought the ppm up to 1600.
I added ½ gal of plain water pH’d to 5.8 to both bubblers bringing the ppm back down to 1500.
The plants grew another inch since yesterday. So it looks like I’m going to be doing some late training.
I tied the tallest tops down enough to get them even with the other tops, which gave me another 4” of space to move the light up.
Hopefully that’s enough because I’m not so sure I’ll be able to pull them any lower.
The two tallest branches folded in half while I was pulling them down leaving a crease where it folded.
I’ve got them supported with wires so I don’t think it will cause any lasting damage. It might even make the stems stronger.
植株們昨晚喝了半加侖水而使得濃度升高到1,600個PPM, 我在每個氣泡桶內加入酸鹼值調到5.8的自來水使得濃度降回1,500個PPM, 他們又長高了1英吋, 看來我得做些後期調整修飾才行, 我把最高的頂端下拉, 使所有的分枝看起來差不多高, 這使得我多了4英吋的空間, 希望這樣是足夠的, 因為我不確定我是否能夠再把他們拉得更彎更低, 最高的兩枝己經被我拉到折了一半的高度, 而且在折彎的地方留下了折痕, 我己經用鐵絲支捎他們, 所以我不認為會留下永續性的傷害, 甚至可能使得莖幹變得更強壯

Here are a few pictures of before & after training & a couple of flowers starting to form.
以下是一些調整修飾前後以及一些花開始成形的照片

3-1-04, Day #18 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 79f, RH 50%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1500, pH 5.8.
開花期第18天(總天數50)
種植箱溫度華氏79度, 相對濕度50%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1500PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

Same drill as yesterday.
The plants drank about ½ gal of water, which brought the ppm up to 1600.
I added ½ gal of plain water pH’d to 5.8 to both bubbler bringing the ppm back down to 1500.
和昨天同樣的動作, 大麻們喝了大約半加侖的水而使得濃度上升到1,600個PPM, 我加了半加侖酸鹼值調到5.8的白來水讓濃度回到1,500個PPM

I had to tie several of the tops down again today to keep them even with the rest of the canopy.
The highest top in the canopy is now 30” tall. They were 34” yesterday & would have been 35” by today.
So basically I gained 5” by getting the canopy even again.
我必需再次把幾個頂端綁住以維持整個頂部高度平均, 天蓬高度為30英吋, 他們昨天才34英吋, 而今天可能會長到35英吋, 所以期本上, 調整修飾這個動作再次幫我爭取到5英吋的生長空間

Here’s an interesting side note. The two branches that folded in half yesterday, were the two that grew the most. Go figure.
這裡有一個有趣的註解, 昨天被折彎一半的兩個分枝, 是今天長最多的, 想想吧

Now that the plants are getting a lot of pistils, I decided to lower the humidity.
I’ll keep it between 40% & 50% for the next 2 to 3 weeks. Once the buds start to get some density, I’ll let the humidity drop into the 30s.
Keeping the humidity lower towards the end of flowering should stop any mold from growing on the buds.
If the buds get mold on them, they aren’t healthy to smoke. And that would mean I just wasted 3 to 4 months worth of time & effort.
Keeping the humidity lower makes the temp in my cab go up. By the end of flowering it will probably be in the mid to high 80s.
From what I’ve read, the plants will produce more trichome as a form of protection from the higher temp & lower humidity.
So bring on the trichome baby.
現在大麻們已經長出很多的雌蕊, 我決定把濕度降低, 接下來的2~3週, 我將維持濕度在40%~50%之間, 一旦花苞開始變得濃厚, 我將使濕度降到30%左右, 保持低濕度直到花期結束, 應該能阻止花苞發霉, 一旦花苞發霉(長霉菌), 抽起來對健康不好, 且意味著我浪費了3~4個月的時間和付出
維持較低的濕度使得種植箱裡的溫度升高, 花期結束時, 溫度可能會高達華氏80幾度, 據我的理解, 大麻會因為高溫和低濕度而長出更多的毛狀物以形成一個保護層, 保護自己不受高溫和低濕度的傷害, 所以, 多長些毛吧寶貝

3-2-04, Day #19 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 82f, RH 52%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1610, pH 5.7.
開花期第19天(總天數51)
種植箱溫度華氏82度, 相對濕度52%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1610PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

I changed the solution in the bubbler today.
Here’s what I added to 10 gallons of water to make the new solution.
8 ml per gal Micro
3 ml per gal Grow
16 ml per gal Bloom
3 ml per gal pH Down
This made the ppm of the new solution 1600 with a pH of 5.5.
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1610 with a pH of 5.7.
I’ll check the pH every couple of hours, as I’m sure the pH will drift up dramatically, like it always does after a solution change.
The plants grew less than an inch since yesterday, so hopefully the flowering stretch is about over. I sure hope so anyway. I’ve only got 5” left for the lights to move up. The canopy is staying nice & even too. So no retying was needed today.
我今天幫氣泡桶換水, 以下是我在10加侖水裡所加的成分
每加侖8毫升的微量元素
每加侖3毫升的成長肥
每加侖16毫升的開花肥
每加侖3毫升的酸化劑
這個新配方的濃度是1,600個PPM, 酸鹼值是5.5, 加入氣泡桶後濃度是1,610個PPM, 酸鹼值是5.7, 我將每隔幾小時檢查一次酸鹼值, 因為我確信酸鹼值將會明顯地升高, 一如每次換水過後都會升高一樣, 昨天以來大麻們長不到1英吋, 希望開花伸展期已經差不多結束了, 不論如何我都希望如此, 我只剩5英吋的空間可以燈調高了, 頂部保持完美而平均, 所以沒有重綁的必要

Here are a few pictures from Day #19 of Flowering:

3-3-04, Day #20 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 81f, RH 52%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1500, pH 5.8.
開花期第20天(總天數52)
種植箱溫度華氏81度, 相對濕度52%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1500PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

To my surprise, the pH only went up to 5.8 & the ppm stayed the same.
The tips of the leaves are showing new signs of nutrient burn.
So I added ½ gal r/o water to each bubbler.
This brought the ppm down to 1500 & left the pH at 5.8.
I’m having a hard time keeping the humidity below 50%, even though I’ve got the humidifier on it’s lowest setting.
The lower I set it, the more the plants transpire, which keeps the humidity up.
When I turn the humidifier off, the temp goes up to 90f & the humidity drops into the 20s. Way to low. Hopefully I can find a way to remedy this problem.
今天酸鹼值只上升到5.8而濃度維持不變讓我小吃了一驚, 葉子的尖端又開始出現營養液灼傷的現象, 因此, 我在每個氣泡桶內加了半加侖的逆滲透水, 讓濃度降回1,500個PPM, 酸鹼值為5.8, 雖然我已經把加濕器開到最小, 維持箱內濕度在50%以下仍讓我吃了點苦頭, 我把加濕器設定得越低, 葉面就蒸散越多水分, 這使得箱內濕度升高, 而如果我把加濕器整個關掉, 箱內溫度會升高到華氏90度而濕度則掉到20%左右, 太低了, 希望我能找到一個方法矯正這個問題

3-4-04, Day #21 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 81f, RH 52%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1460, pH 5.7.
開花期第21天(總天數53)
種植箱溫度華氏81度, 相對濕度52%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1460PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

The plants drank ¾ gal of solution since yesterday making the ppm go up to 1610 with a pH of 5.7.
I added ¾ gal of plain r/o water to each bubbler.
This brought the ppm down to 1460 with a pH of 5.7.
大麻們又喝了3/4加侖的水, 使得濃度上升到1,610個PPM, 酸鹼值5.7, 我加回3/4加侖的R/O水讓濃度降回1,460個PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

3-5-04, Day #22 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 51%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1550, pH 5.9.
開花期第22天(總天數54)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度51%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1550PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

The plants drank 1 gallon of solution so the ppm was up to 1640 & the pH dropped to 5.6.
I added 1 gal of top up solution, with nutrients to each plant.
Here’s what I put in the top up solution.
8 ml per gal Micro
16 ml per gal Bloom
1 ml per gal Silicone
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1550 with a pH of 5.9.
大麻們喝掉1加侖營養液, 使得濃度升到1,640個PPM, 酸鹼值掉到5.6, 我加回1加侖的補充液, 以下是我加的成分
每加侖8毫升的微量元素
每加侖16亮升的開花肥
每加侖1毫升的硅樹脂
加入補充液後的濃度回到1,550個PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

3-6-04, Day #23 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 78f, RH 49%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1550, pH 5.9.
開花期第23天(總天數55)
種植箱溫度華氏78度, 相對濕度49%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1550PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

The plants drank ½ gal of solution, which brought the ppm up to 1630 with a pH of 5.9.
I added ½ gal of plain pH 5.9, r/o water to each bubbler.
This brought the ppm to 1550 with a pH of 5.9.
大麻們今天喝掉半加侖的營養液, 使濃度升到1,630個PPM, 酸鹼值5.9, 於是加了半加侖酸鹼值5.9的R/O水讓濃度降回1,550個PPM, 酸鹼值維持在5.9

Here are a few pictures of the girls.
以下是一些女孩們的照片

The next 4 pictures are all of plant #1. You can see the trichome starting to form in a couple of the pictures.
下面的4張都是1號女孩的照片, 可以從中看出他的毛毛漸漸成形



3-7-04, Day #24 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 78f, RH 49%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1550, pH 5.9.
No change since yesterday other than they both drank anther ½ gal of water.
開花期第24天(總天數56)
種植箱溫度華氏78度, 相對濕度49%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1550PPM, 酸鹼值5.9
除了他們兩又各多喝了半加侖水之外, 從昨天到現在沒什麼太大變化

3-8-04, Day #25 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 78f, RH 49%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1470, pH 5.8.
開花期第25天(總天數57)
種植箱溫度華氏78度, 相對濕度49%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1470PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

I topped off the res today with a gallon of plain water pH’d to 5.9.
我用酸鹼值調成5.9的自來水把氣泡桶加滿

The flowering stretch is over but I’m worried that they will continue to grow another 2” to 4” before they’re finished. This puts me in a bit of a quandary.
The lights are as high as they’ll go & if the plants grow more than a couple of inches, they’ll be into the lights.
開花伸展期己經結束了, 但是我擔心他們在花期結束前會繼續再長高個2~4英吋, 這讓我有些為難, 燈己經調到最高了, 如果他們再長高幾英吋, 頂端將會伸進燈裡

I’m either going to have to do some more training, which will be very difficult as the stems are starting to get woody & therefore don’t bend very easily.
Or, I’m going to have to remove the shelf between the top & bottom part of my cab. Not an easy chore. It’s nailed & glued to the sides & back of the cab.
I guess I’ll try doing some more training first & see how that goes.
要嘛我得再多調整些, 主莖己經粗壯到開始有些木質化了, 這使得要把他們再折彎些變得非常難以達成, 不然我就得把種植箱的上下之間的隔板拿掉, 這也不是件容易的工程, 中間的隔板是用膠和釘子固定的, 我想我得先試著再多折彎些, 再看看他們怎麼發展

On another note, a couple of weeks ago my circulation fan fell on plant #2. It bent one of the stems quite a lot. At the time, I didn’t notice any damage to the stem.
Today when I was checking the nutrients I noticed a large split in that stem.
This just goes to show how resilient Mary Jane plants are.
The cola on that stem has the most trichomes production & is one of the largest in the cab.
另一個筆記, 幾週前我的循環風扇不小心掉在2號女孩身上, 相檔程度地折彎了其中一個莖幹, 那時候我沒發現什麼顯著的傷害, 如今, 我檢查營養液時卻發現一個很大的裂痕在那個莖幹上, 這正好顯示出大麻這種植物多麼有彈性(軔性), 這枝莖幹上的甜筒有著最多的毛毛, 而且還是箱內最大的花苞之一

Here are a couple of pictures showing how close the canopy is to the lights & one of the split in the stem.
以下是一些秀出頂端離燈多近的照片和一張莖幹上裂痕的照片


3-9-04, Day # 26 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 81f, RH 38%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1510, pH 5.7.
開花期第26天(總天數58)
種植箱溫度華氏81度, 相對濕度38%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1510PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

The plants drank less than ½ gal of water so I didn’t do anything with the nutrients today.
他們今天只喝了不到半加侖的營養液, 所以我不需要去理會營養液

I tried to do some training yesterday to get the tops low enough to stay out of the lights. Unluckily, I couldn’t pull them low enough for them to be able to finish flowering. So, I spent 10 hours today redoing my cab,
I took out the shelf separating the top & bottom parts of the cab.
Now I have 7 ½’ in total height, so the plants have lots of room to grow.
昨天當我試著把他們折得更彎些以遠離燈光, 不幸地, 我無法再折彎更多以使他們在花期結束前都不會長進燈裡, 所以我花了10個小時把種植箱中間的隔板拆掉, 如今, 我的種植區域總共高7.5英呎, 大麻們多了很多空間可以長高

I installed my ozone generator at the very top of the cab.
My ozone generator has a fairly powerful fan built into it, which enables me to use it as an exhaust fan. So I took one of the 4” fans out of the top of the cab & installed it at the bottom of the cab as an intake fan. Now I have two exhaust fans & one intake fan. I removed the Y connector that let the two-exhaust fans vent out one hole & installed another exhaust pipe going into the ceiling. Now each fan has it’s own exhaust hole, which gives me much better airflow.
我把臭氧產生器安裝在箱內最高的地方, 我的臭氧產生器加一個內建的, 還算蠻有力的風扇, 讓我可以直接把它當作抽風扇使用, 所以我把天花板上其中一個4英吋的軸扇拆下來安裝到箱子底部當做吸風扇, 這樣一來我就有兩個排風扇和一個吸風扇了, 我把原本用來使兩個排風扇相接以排風到同一個出風孔的Y型接頭拆掉, 並另接一條排風管直達天花板, 這樣一來每個風扇都有自己的風孔, 使得箱內的空氣流通更佳順暢

Let’s see, what else did I do. I took out the humidifier to get the humidity into the 30s. I balanced a fan in the branches on the top of the bubblers & pointed it straight up into the plants. I took the other fan & pointed it at a wall to get even more air circulation.
This new setup seems to be working fairly well. Even though the humidity has dropped below 40%, the temp is still in the low 80s.
The only other thing I can think of that I did today was removing all the training wires. The flowering stretch is officially over so they’re not needed anymore.
That’s it for today. See you tomorrow for a res change.
來看看我另外還做了些什麼, 我把加濕器拿掉, 讓濕度掉到30%左右, 我把一個循環扇放在氣泡桶上(植株的底部)把讓它往上直吹植株, 另外用一個循環扇對著箱內的牆壁吹, 以得到更多的空氣循環, 這個新的設置看起來不錯, 就算濕度己經掉到40%以下, 溫度仍維持在華氏80度出頭, 另外一件我能記得今天所做的事情是把所有用來調整, 修飾, 折彎分枝生長方向的鐵絲拿掉, 開花伸展期已經結束, 所以他們不再需要這些鐵絲了, 以上就是今天的報告, 明天換水時再見

Here are a couple of pictures of the girls when I had them out of the cabinet, a few pictures of the changes made to the cabinet & one of the girls back in the cabinet.
以下是一些女孩們移出種植箱時的照片, 一些種植箱改變的照片, 和一張女孩們回到箱子內的照片


3-10-04, Day #27 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 76f, RH 38%, Nutrient Temp 74f, PPM 1400, pH 6.0.
開花期第27天(總天數59)
種植箱溫度華氏76度, 相對濕度38%, 營養液溫度華氏74度, 濃度1400PPM, 酸鹼值6.0

The new setup is doing awesome.
The cab temps are lower than I’ve ever been able to get them without the humidifier & the humidity is perfect for flowering.
Installing the intake fan made all the difference.
新的備置表現得好極了, 箱內溫度之低, 是之前不用加濕器所達不到的, 而濕度則是非常適合開花, 不過是裝個進氣風扇, 造就了所有的改變

I changed out the nutrients today.
The last nutrient change I had the ppm at 1600 & got a little leaf burn.
So this time I’m only going to 1400ppm.
Here’s what I added to 10 gallons of water to make the new solution.
7 ml per gal Micro
3 ml per gal Grow
15 ml per gal Bloom
2 ml per gal pH Down
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1400 with a pH of 6.0.
今天換了營養液配方, 上次濃度1,600個PPM的配方造成一些葉子灼傷, 所以這次我把算把濃度調成1,400個PPM, 以下是我在10加侖水裡加入的成分
每加侖7毫升的微量元素
每加侖3毫升的成長肥
每加侖15毫升的開花肥
每加侖2毫升的酸化劑
新配方加進氣泡桶後, 濃度來到1,400個PPM, 酸鹼值為6.0

Here are a few close-ups of the girls & one overhead shot.
You can really tell how fast the buds are developing by looking at the pictures from 4 days ago.
以下是一些女孩們的特寫, 一張是從上往下的鳥瞰, 和4天前的照片相比, 你可以發現花苞的發展有多快


3-11-04, Day #28 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 76f, RH 38%, Nutrient Temp 74f, PPM 1400, pH 6.0.
開花期第28天(總天數60)
種植箱溫度華氏76度, 相對濕度38%, 營養液溫度華氏74度, 濃度1400PPM, 酸鹼值6.0

The plants drank a gallon of water each since yesterdays nutrient change.
The ppm only went up to 1440 though. So the plants are taking up close to equal parts of water & nutrients.
The pH keeps drifting downwards, which seems kind of weird to me.
It was at 5.7 this morning.
The pH usually starts to drift upwards once the flowering stretch is over.
So I’m really baffled as to why the pH is drifting down.
Anyway, I topped up the bubbler today. The only nutrients I added to the top up solution were Bloom & Silicone.
Here’s what I added.
13ml per gal Bloom
5 ml per gal Silicone
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1400 with a pH of 6.0.
昨天換水後他們喝了1加侖營養液, 濃度卻只上升到1,440個PPM, 這代表大麻們吸收幾乎一樣多的養分和水分, 酸鹼值還是往下掉, 這讓我感到有些奇怪, 今天早上酸鹼值5.7, 開花伸展期結束後酸鹼值通常應該上升, 所以我真的被往下降的酸鹼值搞混了, 管它的, 還是把營養液補滿, 這次我只在補充液裡加了開花肥和硅樹脂, 以下是我加的比例
每加侖13毫升的開花肥
每加侖5毫升的硅樹脂
加了補充養分後, 濃度為1,400個PPM, 酸鹼值為6.0

3-12-04, Day #29 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 78f, RH 38%, Nutrient Temp 74f, PPM 1460, pH 5.8.
開花期第29天(總天數61)
種植箱溫度華氏78度, 相對濕度38%, 營養液溫度華氏74度, 濃度1460PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

They each drank about ½ gal of solution but there wasn’t enough change in the ppm or pH to worry about.
So I just sat & admired them for a while.
他們又喝掉半加侖的營養液但是濃度和酸鹼值沒有太太的變化需要調整, 因此我只是坐在那欣賞了他們一會兒

3-13-04, Day #30 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 79f, RH 38%, Nutrient Temp 74f, PPM 1400, pH 6.0.
開花期第30天(總天數62)
種植箱溫度華氏79度, 相對濕度38%, 營養液溫度華氏74度, 濃度1400PPM, 酸鹼值6.0

The plants have now drunk another gal of solution, leaving the ppm at 1550.
The pH dropped again today. It was at 5.5.
So I topped up the bubbler today. The only thing I added to the water was 2 ml per gal pH Up. This brought the ppm back down to 1400 & brought the pH back up to 6.0.
大麻們又喝掉另1加侖的營養液, 使得濃度上升到1,550個PPM, 而酸鹼值則掉到5.5, 因此我補充了營養液, 而我只加了每加侖2毫升的鹼化劑在水裡, 使得營養液濃度回到1,400個PPM, 酸鹼值回升到6.0

I think the reason my pH has been dropping, is because I’ve been using silicone to raise the pH. I believe the plants have been sucking up the Si, which has been causing the pH to drop. This might also explain why the stems are as strong as they are. They won’t have any problem holding up the weight of a nice fat cola.
To try & stop the pH from dropping, I’m going to use pH up instead of Si to raise the pH. Hopefully this will stop the downward drift.
我認為營養液一直酸化的原因是我總是用硅樹脂來提高酸鹼值, 我認為大麻們己經吸收掉硅而使得營養液酸化, 這可能可以解釋為什麼主莖幹會像現在一樣那麼粗壯, 原全可以支撐又漂亮又粗胖的花苞, 為了試驗及避免酸鹼值一直掉, 我打算用一般的鹼化劑來取代硅樹脂鹼化營養液, 希望這可以阻止營養液變酸

Here are a few pictures I took this evening.
The buds are really starting to fatten up. They’re also starting to put off a very sweet skunky aroma. I guess it’s time to crank up the ozone generator.
The last picture shows some of the lower bud formations.
以下是一些我今天傍晚拍的照片, 花苞真正開始長胖, 同時也開始發散出一股清甜的臭鼬氣味, 我想是時候打開臭氧產生氣了, 最後一張照片秀出一些較低的花苞開始成形


3-14-04, Day #31 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 79f, RH 41%, Nutrient Temp 74f, PPM 1440, pH 5.7.
開花期第31天(總天數63)
種植箱溫度華氏79度, 相對濕度41%, 營養液溫度華氏74度, 濃度1440PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

The plants drank about ½ gal of solution each.
The ppm went up slightly, but the pH dropped again.
Not enough change to do anything today, other than give the branches a slight shake so I could enjoy the wonderful fragrance they're giving off.
他們喝掉大約半加侖的營養液, 濃度少許上升, 但酸鹼值又下降了, 今天沒什麼可做的, 除了把分枝們甩一甩以便於享受他們發散出來的美妙芬芳

3-15-04, Day #32 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 79f, RH 41%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1500, pH 5.7.
開花期第32天(總天數64)
種植箱溫度華氏79度, 相對濕度41%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1500PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

The plants drank another ½ gal of solution each.
The ppm only went up to 1460 & the pH went up to 5.8.
So I topped up the bubbler today.
I added 1 tsp Kool Bloom per gal of water.
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1500 with a pH of 5.7.
他們喝掉半加侖的營養液, 濃度只升到1,460個PPM, 酸鹼值升到5.8, 因此我補充了營養液, 我加了每加侖1茶匙的Kool開花肥(另一種配方的開花肥, 記錄的最前面有提到過), 加了之後濃度來到1,500個PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

3-16-04, Day #33 of Flowering:
No report today. I was out of town.
開花期第33天(總天數65)
我今天有事出城出去了, 所以沒有記錄(報告)

3-17-04, Day #34 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 81f, RH 41%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1480, pH 5.9.
開花期第34天(總天數66)
種植箱溫度華氏81度, 相對濕度41%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1480PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

The plants drank about 1 gal of water so I topped up the bubbler with plain water pH’d to 5.9. This brought the ppm down to 1400 but left the pH at 5.9.
他們喝掉了1加侖營養液, 因此我用酸鹼值5.9的自來水補滿, 這使得濃度變成1,400個PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

Here are a few pictures of how the plants are progressing.
這裡有一些植株們進展的照片

Here's a picture showing red hairs on a few of the lower buds.
這一張照片秀出一些較低的花苞上的紅毛


3-18-04, Day #35 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 81f, RH 41%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1400, pH 5.7.
開花期第35天(總天數67)
種植箱溫度華氏81度, 相對濕度41%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1400PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

I did a nutrient change today.
Here’s what I added to 10 gallons of water to make the new solution.
7 ml per gal Micro
0 ml per gal Grow
17 ml per gal Bloom
1/8 tsp per gal Kool Bloom
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1400 with a pH of 5.7.
今天換了營養液成分, 以下是我在10加侖水裡加入的配方
每加侖7毫升的微量元素
每加侖0毫升的成長肥
每加侖17毫升的開花肥
每加侖1/8茶匙的Kool開花肥
換水過後, 濃度為1,400個PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

Here’s a picture of how the trichome are starting to build up.
這裡有一張毛毛如何開始建立的照片


3-19-04, Day #36 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 81f, RH 41%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1450, pH 6.0.
開花期第36天(總天數68)
種植箱溫度華氏81度, 相對濕度41%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1450PPM, 酸鹼值6.0

The plants drank a gallon of water since the nutrient change yesterday.
The ppm only went up to 1450, but the pH dropped to 5.5.
I still haven’t figured out why the pH is dropping this late in flowering.
But I guess it’s no big deal since the plants look awesome.
Anyway, I added 1 gal of top up solution to each bubbler.
Here’s what I added to 2 gallons of water.
5 ml per gal Bloom
½ tsp per gal Kool Bloom
10 ml per gal pH up
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1450 with a pH of 6.0.
昨天換水後大麻們喝掉了1加侖的營養液, 濃度只升到1,450PPM, 酸鹼值掉到5.5, 我還是搞不懂營養液為什麼會在開花期這麼後期變酸的原因, 但我想應該沒什麼大不了, 因為植株們看起來好極了, 總之, 我加了1加侖的補充液, 以下是我加的配方
每加侖5毫升的開花肥
每加侖半茶匙的Kool開花肥
每加侖10毫升的鹼化劑
補充之後的濃度為1,450個PPM, 酸鹼值6.0

3-20-04, Day #37 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 43%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1550, pH 5.8.
開花期第37天(總天數69)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度43%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1550PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

The plants drank ½ gal of solution & the pH dropped to 5.8.
The ppm went up to 1550, meaning the plants drank mostly water since yesterday.
大麻們喝掉半加侖營養液, 酸鹼值掉到5.8, 濃度升到1,550PPM, 這表示從昨天開始大麻們只喝水而沒有吸收養分

3-21-04, Day #38 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 78f, RH 43%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1510, pH 6.1.
開花期第38天(總天數70)
種植箱溫度華氏78度, 相對濕度43%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1510PPM, 酸鹼值6.1

The plants have drunk another gallon of water, leaving the ppm at 1640 & the pH at 5.7.
So I added a gallon of top up solution to each bubbler.
The only thing I added was 5 ml per gal pH Up.
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1510 with a pH of 6.1.
他們又喝掉1加侖水, 使濃度升到1,640個PPM, 酸鹼值5.7, 因此我加了補充液, 補充液裡我只加了每加侖5毫升的鹼化劑, 加了之後濃度為1,510個PPM, 酸鹼值6.1

3-22-04, Day #39 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 78f, RH 43%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1550, pH 6.1.
開花期第39天(總天數71)
種植箱溫度華氏78度, 相對濕度43%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1550PPM, 酸鹼值6.1

Not much change since yesterday.
But I took a few pictures & here they are.
昨天到現在沒什麼變化, 但我拍了一些照片, 看看吧


3-23-04, Day #40 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 43%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1570, pH 6.0.
開花期第40天(總天數72)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度43%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1570PPM, 酸鹼值6.0

The plants have drunk another gallon of water.
This ppm was 1570 & the pH had only dropped to 6.0.
So I added a gallon of top up solution to each bubbler.
Here’s what I added to the top up water.
10 ml per gal Bloom
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1550 with a pH of 6.0.
他們又喝了1加侖水, 濃度1,570個PPM, 酸鹼值只掉到6.0, 因此我加了1加侖補充液, 以下是我加的配方
每加侖10毫升的開花肥
加了之後, 濃度1,550個PPM, 酸鹼值6.0

3-24-04, Day #41 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 43%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1500, pH 5.7.
開花期第41天(總天數73)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度43%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1500PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

The plants drank a gallon of solution since yesterday.
The ppm went up to 1640 & the pH was at 6.1.
I’m going to lower the pH down a bit, I’ve had it pretty high for a while now & I want the plants to get the nutrients they need at the lower pH for a few days.
I added 1 gallon of top up solution to each bubbler.
Here’s what I added to the top up water.
10 ml per gal pH Down
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1500 with a pH of 5.7.
他們昨天又喝了1加侖水, 濃度升到1,640個PPM, 酸鹼值6.1, 我打算把酸鹼值降低些, 我己經讓它維持頗高一陣子了, 我希望大麻們能吸收一些他們在低酸鹼值時才會吸收的養分幾天, 我補充了1加侖的營養液, 以下是我加的配方
每加侖10毫升的酸化劑
補充之後濃度1,500個PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

3-25-04, Day #42 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 43%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1470, pH 5.7.
開花期第42天(總天數74)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度43%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1470PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

The plants drank about ½ gallon of water since yesterday.
The ppm dropped a little & the pH went up to 5.9.
Since the plants drank slightly more nutrients than water, they must have needed the nutrients they were able to absorb at the lower pH.
To get the pH back to 5.7, I added 1 ml per gal pH Down to each bubbler.
This brought the pH down to 5.7.
他們又喝了半加侖水, 濃度掉了一點點而酸鹼值升到5.9, 既然大麻們吸收了比水分還多的養分, 他們一定很需要這些能在低酸鹼值時才能吸收到的養分, 為了使酸鹼值降回5.7, 我在每個氣泡桶內加了每加侖1毫升的酸化劑, 酸鹼值降回5.7

3-26-04, Day #43 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 43%, Nutrient Temp 73f, PPM 1500, pH 5.6.
開花期第43天(總天數75)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度43%, 營養液溫度華氏73度, 濃度1500PPM, 酸鹼值5.6

The plants have drunk another gallon of water causing the ppm to go up to 1640 with a pH of 5.7.
So I topped up each of the bubbler with a gallon of solution today.
Here’s what I added to the top up water.
20 ml per gal Bloom
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1500 with a pH of 5.6.
植株們又喝掉1加侖水, 造成濃度升高到1,640個PPM, 酸鹼值5.7, 因此我補充了營養液, 以下是我在補充液裡加的成分
每加侖20毫升的開花肥
補充之後的濃度為1,500PPM, 酸鹼值5.6

Here are a few pictures of never before photographed colas from the back of the cab & a couple of group photos.
底下有一些之前沒拍過的種植箱後方的花苞照片和一些團體照


3-27-04, Day #44 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 43%, Nutrient Temp 76f, PPM 1300, pH 5.9.
開花期第44天(總天數76)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度43%, 營養液溫度華氏76度, 濃度1300PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

It’s time to replace the old nutrients with new nutrients.
I’m not going to give the plants any nitrogen for the rest of the grow.
So the only nutrients they’ll get from here on are the Bloom nutrients.
I’ve decided to stop using the Kool Bloom as it has a small amount of nitrogen in it, which could affect the taste.
Here’s what I added to 10 gallons of water to make the new solution.
30 ml per gal Bloom
I checked the trichome for cloudiness & found that about 10% of them have already gotten cloudy.
There are even a few that have a little amber color starting to show.
So I’m figuring they’ve still got about 2 weeks to go.
是時候用新配方的營養液取代舊的配方了, 剩餘的種植階段裡我不打算再給大麻任何氮, 所以現在開始他們只能吸收到開花肥的養分, 我快決定不再使用Kool開花肥, 因為那裡面含有少量的氮, 氮會影響最後結果的口味, 以下是我在10加侖水裡加的配方
每加侖30毫升的開花肥
我檢查毛毛是否變得朦朧時發現己經有10%的毛開始變得朦朧了, 甚至己經有少許毛毛開始呈現琥珀色了, 我因此瞭解他們還有兩週就要結束花期

Here are a couple of close ups of the trichome.
這裡有幾張毛毛的特寫


3-28-04, Day #45 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 43%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1320, pH 5.9.
開花期第45天(總天數77)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度43%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1320PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

Not much to report today.
The plants drank about ½ gallon of solution each.
The pH stayed the same & the ppm only went up to 1320.
今天沒什麼好報告的, 大麻們喝掉半加侖的水, 酸鹼值沒變, 濃度只升到1,320PPM

Here are a few more pictures I took today.
As you’ll be able to see, the buds are really starting to plump up.
這裡有一些我今天拍的照片, 你可以看得出來花苞們真的開始變豐滿了


3-29-04, Day #46 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 43%, Nutrient Temp 71f, PPM 1300, pH 5.9.
開花期第46天(總天數78)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度43%, 營養液溫度華氏71度, 濃度1300PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

I added a gallon of top up solution today.
Here’s what I added to 2 gallons of r/o water.
20 ml per gal Bloom
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1300 with a pH of 5.8.
今天補充了營養液, 以下是我加的配方
每加侖20毫升的開花肥
補充之後的濃度1,300PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

3-30-04, Day #47 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 42%, Nutrient Temp 70f, PPM 1300, pH 5.7.
開花期第47天(總天數79)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度42%, 營養液溫度華氏70度, 濃度1300PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

The plants drank gallon of solution since yesterday.
The ppm went up to 1440 & the pH was at 5.9.
So I added a gallon of top up solution to each bubbler.
Here’s what I added to 2 gallons of r/o water.
8 ml per gal pH Down
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1300 with a pH of 5.7.
植株們喝掉1加侖營養液, 濃度上升到1,440個PPM, 酸鹼值5.9, 因此補充了營養液, 以下是我加的成分
每加侖8毫升的酸化劑
加了之後的濃度1,300個PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

3-31-04, Day #48 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 42%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1400, pH 5.9.
開花期第48天(總天數80)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度42%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1400PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

The plants drank almost ½ gal of water since last night.
The reason I say water, is the ppm went up quite a bit, which means the plants drank more water than nutrients.
I’ve noticed the plants uptake water & nutrients fairly evenly when the pH is at or above 5.9. So, I added 2 ml per gal Silicone to each bubbler.
This brought the pH up to 5.9.
I’ll check the ppm later this evening to see if it’s still at 1400.
昨晚之後他們喝了半加侖水, 我說水的原因是濃度升高了相當多, 這表示植株們吸收的水比養分多, 我也注意到酸鹼值5.9時, 他們吸收的水分和養分相當, 所以我在每個氣泡桶裡加了每加侖2毫升的硅樹脂, 使得酸鹼值升到5.9, 今天稍晚我將檢查濃度是否仍為1,400個PPM

4-1-04, Day #49 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 42%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1350, pH 5.9.
開花期第49天(總天數81)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度42%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1350PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

The plants drank another ½ gallon of solution. The pH stayed at 5.9 & the ppm only went up to 1420. That confirms that the plants can’t uptake as much P & K at lower pH levels. So keeping the pH at or above 5.9 late in flowering allows the plants to uptake more P & K, which lets the plants produce bigger juicier buds.
So I added a gallon of top up solution to each bubbler.
Here’s what I added to 2 gallons of tap water.
Nothing, Nada, Zip, Zilch, Zero.
This brought the ppm down to 1350 with a pH of 5.9.
大麻們又喝掉半加侖營養液, 酸鹼值停在5.9, 濃度只升到1,420個PPM, 這證實了他們無法從較酸的營養液裡吸收較多的磷和鉀, 所以維持在開花期間維持營養液的酸鹼值在5.9或之上可以使大麻吸收更多的磷和鉀, 磷和鉀可以使大麻產生出更大, 更多汁的花苞, 因此, 我加了一加侖的補充液, 以下是我加的成分
Nothing, 什麼都沒加
這讓濃度降到1,350個PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

Here are a few pictures of how the plants are progressing.
以下有一些植株們進展的照片


4-2-04, Day #50 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 42%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1400, pH 5.9.
開花期第50天(總天數82)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度42%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1400PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

The plants drank another gallon of water each since yesterday.
The ppm went up to 1420 & the pH dropped to 5.8.
So I added a gallon of top up solution to each bubbler.
Here’s what I add to two gallons of tap water.
10 ml per gal Bloom
5 ml per gal Silicone
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1400 with a pH of 5.9.
植株們又喝掉1加侖水, 濃度升到1,420, 酸鹼值掉到5.8, 所以我補充了1加侖的營養液, 以下是我加的成分
每加侖10毫升的開花肥
每加侖5亮升的硅樹脂
補充之後的濃度為1,400, 酸鹼值為5.9

Here’s a picture of one of the leaves.
The purple coloring of the stem & the spots you see are normal for this stage of flowering. Since I haven’t been giving them nitrogen for a while, they’re using what’s stored in the leaves. Which is exactly what you want to happen as your bud will be smoother & taste better without the stored nutrients.
這是一張葉子的照片, 莖上的紫色和你看到的那些點點是開花到這個階段的正常現象, 因為我己經有一段時間沒有餵他們氮了, 所以他們正消耗儲存在葉子裡養分, 這正是你(我們)想要看到的, 因為這會使你的花抽起來更順些, 因為沒有剩餘的養分而嚐起來味道更好些

I had to throw in another cola picture, just because…..
我得要再放張照片, 只因為... (他媽的漂亮極了)


4-3-04, Day #51 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 42%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1420, pH 6.0.
開花期第51天(總天數83)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度42%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1420PPM, 酸鹼值6.0

The plants drank a little more than a gallon of solution each since yesterday.
The ppm went up to 1540 & the pH dropped to 5.8.
So I added another gallon of top up solution to each bubbler.
Here’s what I add to two gallons of tap water.
7 ml per gal Silicone
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 1420 with a pH of 6.0.
植株們喝掉比1加侖還多一點的營養液, 濃度升到1,540, 酸鹼值掉到5.8, 所以我在每個氣泡桶裡補充了1加侖的營養液, 以下是我加的成分
每加侖7毫升的硅樹脂
補充之後的濃度1,420, 酸鹼值6.0

4-4-04, Day #52 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 80f, RH 35%, Nutrient Temp 72f, PPM 1500, pH 6.0.
開花期第52天(總天數84)
種植箱溫度華氏80度, 相對濕度35%, 營養液溫度華氏72度, 濃度1500PPM, 酸鹼值6.0

The plants drank about ¾ of a gallon of solution.
The ppm went up to 1500 & the pH stayed at 6.0.
I did a trichome color check this evening & found that about 10% had turned amber, about 60% are cloudy & 30% are still clear.
So they are almost ready to harvest.
I’m going to start a plain water flush tomorrow.
I’m going to do this for 2 days then dump the water & add new water with Final Flush added. I’ll leave that in the bubbler for 2 or 3 days & then harvest.
他們喝掉3/4加侖營養液, 濃度升高到1,500個PPM, 酸鹼值6.0沒變, 今天傍晚時我檢查了毛毛的顏色, 發現大約10%已經變成琥珀色, 大約60%變朦朧, 大約30%還很清澈, 因此他們己經快要可以採收了, 我計畫明天開始用自來水沖洗他們, 我打算沖洗個2天, 然後換新的水, 再沖洗個2~3天後採收

Here’s a picture of what the trichome looks like.
這裡有些毛毛的照片


4-5-04, Day #53 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 85f, RH 42%, Nutrient Temp 78f, PPM 350, pH 5.7.
開花期第53天(總天數85)
種植箱溫度華氏85度, 相對濕度42%, 營養液溫度華氏78度, 濃度350PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

Today is Flush day.
I emptied the bubbler & put in new solution.
Here’s what I added to 10 gallons of water.
3 ml per gal Bloom
3 ml per gal pH Down
After adding this to the bubbler, the ppm was 350 with a pH of 5.7.
今天是沖洗的日子, 我把氣泡桶裡剩下的營養液換掉, 以下是我在10加侖水裡加的成分
每加侖3毫升的開花肥
每加侖3毫升的酸化劑
加進氣泡桶後的濃度為350個PPM, 酸鹼值5.7

When flushing your plants, it’s best to have your ppm between 300 & 400.
If the plants roots don’t have something to absorb, the absorption process can totally shut down, leaving you with unflushed nasty tasting bud.
Don’t use Micro or Grow nutrients to get the ppm up, as the nitrogen in them is what causes the bad taste.
At 350 ppm, the small amount of Phosphorous & Potassium in the nutrients won’t leave a bad taste in the bud, especially if you use a flushing agent the last few days of the grow.
沖洗大麻時, 最好是讓濃度保持在300~400個PPM之間, 如果大麻的根部完全吸收不到養分, 整個吸收養分的過動就會關閉, 留下未經沖洗, 味道極差的花苞給你, 不要使用微量元素或成長肥來提高濃度, 因為它們所含的氮是造成味道不好的主因, 營養液濃度350個PPM時所含的少量磷和鉀不會留給你味道不好的花苞, 尤其是你在種植的最後幾天有做沖洗這個動作

Here are a few pictures of the girls.
這裡有一些女孩們的照片

這些是花苞的特寫


4-6-04, Day #54 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 85f, RH 35%, Nutrient Temp 78f, PPM 370, pH 5.9.
開花期第54天(總天數86)
種植箱溫度華氏85度, 相對濕度35%, 營養液溫度華氏78度, 濃度370PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

The plants drank about ½ gallon of solution, which brought the ppm up to 370 & the pH to 5.9.
植株們喝掉半加侖沖洗液, 使得濃度上升到370個PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

4-7-04, Day #55 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 85f, RH 35%, Nutrient Temp 76f, PPM 320, pH 5.6.
開花期第55天(總天數87)
種植箱溫度華氏85度, 相對濕度35%, 營養液溫度華氏76度, 濃度320PPM, 酸鹼值5.6

The plants drank another ½ gallon of solution, which brought the ppm up to 390 & the pH to 6.3.
I added 1 gallon of r/o water, with 8 ml pH down to each bubbler.
This brought the pH down to 5.6 & the ppm to 320.
植株們又喝掉半加侖沖洗液, 使得濃度升到390個PPM, 酸鹼值6.3, 我補充了1加侖R/O水和每加侖8毫升的酸化劑, 濃度降回320PPM, 酸鹼值降回5.6

4-8-04, Day #56 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 85f, RH 35%, Nutrient Temp 74f, PPM 130, pH 5.8.
開花期第56天(總天數88)
種植箱溫度華氏85度, 相對濕度35%, 營養液溫度華氏74度, 濃度130PPM, 酸鹼值5.8

I emptied the bubbler today & refilled them with tap water adjusted to 5.8 pH.
I also added 4.5 ml per gal Final Flush.
今天我把剩下的沖洗液倒掉, 重新加入調成5.8酸鹼值的自來水, 同時裡面加了每加侖4.5毫升的最後沖洗配方(Final Flush(?))

4-9-04, Day #57 of Flowering:
Cab Temp 70f, RH 45%, Nutrient Temp 79f, PPM 60, pH 5.9.
開花期第57天(總天數89)
種植箱溫度華氏70度, 相對濕度45%, 營養液溫度華氏79度, 濃度60PPM, 酸鹼值5.9

I’m going to be out of town until Wednesday. So I’ve decided to keep flushing the girls until then & harvest Thursday morning. This will make the total flowering time 63 days (9 weeks exactly).
我將要出城直到下週三才回來, 所以我決定持續沖洗女孩們直到我回來, 週四早上再採收, 這將使整個花期達到63天, 整整9週

Since the Final Flush additive is only supposed to be used for 2 to 3 days, I went ahead & emptied the bubbler & refilled them with ½ well water & ½ r/o water.
This gave the water a ppm of 60 with a pH of 5.9.
I’ve been informed from some very knowledgeable people, that using plain water, with nothing added for a final flush, works just as well as a low ppm final flush. So I’m giving it a try to see how well it works for myself.
I’m also turning the lights off for the remainder of the grow.
The only reason I’m doing this, is I don’t want the plants to drink to much water while I’m gone. With the lights off, they won’t uptake as much water or transpire as much. So they should be okay without adding water while I’m gone.
由於最後沖洗成分被設定成只能使用2~3天, 我提前換掉它, 並換上一半井水加一半R/O水, 濃度為60PPM, 酸鹼值5.9, 有些聰明有知識的人曾告訴我, 用不加任何東西的自來水沖洗也能達到和低濃度沖洗配方一樣的效果, 所以我決定試一試, 看看這對我管不管用, 同時, 剩下來的種植期間我也打算把燈關掉, 我這麼做的唯一原因是我不希望大麻們在我出城的期間消耗太多水分, 關著燈, 他們就不會吸收或蒸散太多水分, 所以我不在的期間不加水應該沒關係

Here are a few pictures of day 57 of Flowering.
As you’ll be able to see in the pictures, the buds are fattening up very nicely.
See you all Thursday for the harvest pictures.
這裡是一些開花期第57天的照片, 你可以從照片中看出花苞們肥得很漂亮, 下星期四一起來看菜收後的照片


4-15-04, Day 1 of Drying:
Cab Temp 70f, RH 41%.
乾燥期第1天(總天數95)
種植箱溫度華氏70度, 相對濕度41%

The plants drank ½ the water in the bubbler while I was gone.
The ppm dropped to 30 & the pH dropped to 5.2.
I’m not sure if the lights being off for the last 5 days had anything to do with it, but the amount of trichome nearly doubled while I was gone.
The plants have been flushed for 11 days now & I’m sure there are no chemicals left to leave a bad taste. So I chopped them down this evening & hung them by their heels to dry.
I have both fans blowing on them to help insure that no mold will start growing on the buds.
我不在的這段期間, 大麻們喝掉半加侖的水, 濃度降到30PPM, 酸鹼值掉到5.2, 我不確定關了5天燈和這些有沒有關係, 但毛毛的量在我不在時幾乎多了一倍, 大麻們己經沖洗了11天了, 我確定他們體內己經沒有殘存會破壞味道的化學物質, 所以我今天傍晚把他們砍下來, 倒屌起來, 用兩個循環風扇由下往上對著他們吹, 這有助於防止霉菌在花苞上滋生

Here are a few pictures I took just before I chopped them down & one of them hanging.
以下是一些砍下來之前照的照片, 和一張倒屌起來的照片


4-19-04, Day 5 of Drying:
Cab Temp 70f, RH 41%.
乾燥期第5天(總天數99)
種植箱溫度華氏70度, 相對濕度41%

The plants are drying nicely & should be ready to manicure & start curing in a couple of days.
大麻們乾燥的情形不錯, 應該再幾天之內就可以修剪和保存了

I finally got around to removing the roots from the net pots & cleaning out the bubbler.
I took a few pictures of the roots I thought you might find interesting.
The roots were extremely healthy & the straw color is totally normal.
我終於有空把根部移除以及清洗氣泡桶, 我拍了一些你們可能感興趣的根部照片, 那些根部健康到不行, 顏色像稻草完成正常

The air disc I used put out a lot of bubbles that formed a column going straight up. As the roots grew, they formed a circle around the column of air. Kinda cool looking really.
我使用的氣泡石盤送出的氣泡多到在營養液裡形成一道氣泡圓柱, 根部在繞著這道氣泡圓柱而形成一個圓形, 看起來還真有點酷

I also took a picture of the empty bubbler. I left a couple inches of water in the bottom to show the amount of residue left after 13 weeks of growth. As you can see, there isn’t much. If the roots stay healthy & you rinse the hydroton extremely well before you use it, there should be next to no residue left at the end of the grow.
我同也拍了一張氣泡桶清空後的照片, 我留了幾英吋的水以顯示出種植(使用)了13週後的剩餘物, 你可以看得出來沒留下什麼東西, 如果根部健康, 而且你開始種植之前有確實清洗發泡煉石, 種植結束後應該幾乎不會有東西留在氣泡桶內

And last but not least, here are a few pictures of the drying plants.
最後但不是最少, 這裡有一些乾燥中的大麻的照片


4-21-04, Day 7 of Drying:
Cab Temp 70f, RH 41%.
乾燥期第7天(總天數101)
種植箱溫度華氏70度, 相對濕度41%

The plants are dry enough to start curing the buds, so I removed the fan leaves, cut off the excess stem & manicured the buds.
To cure the buds, I place them in an airtight Tupperware container for 2 weeks.
I remove the lid for 5 minutes, twice a day, everyday, to allow fresh air in.
After 2 weeks of curing, I’ll vacuum seal the cured buds in Mason jars.
大麻們己經夠乾燥可以開始保存花苞了, 所以我把周圍的葉子移除, 剪掉多餘的莖, 並且修剪花苞, 要保存花苞, 我把他們放進氣密的容器裡兩週, 每天兩次, 每次5分鐘, 打開容器讓新鮮空氣進入容器裡, 保存2週過後, 我將把保存修正過味道的花苞密封收進真空瓶裡

Well, I think that about does it for this grow.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my journal & that this has been of help to some of you.
If you have questions about what I did or why I did it, please post your questions here for everyone to learn from.
嗯, 我想以上這些差不多就是這次種植了, 希望你們樂在其中, 並希望這份記錄有幫到你們其中的一些人, 如果你們對於我做了些什麼或為什麼這麼做有任何問題, 請把問題貼在這裡, 讓其它人也能從中學習

Thanks for joining me,
Agent 86.

Oh Yeah, I almost forgot.
噢, 差點忘記

The final dried weight in was 121 grams. (4-¼ oz.)
Not the best I’ve done, but not the worst either & definitely worth doing again.
The samples I’ve smoked so far have a smooth sweet citrus aftertaste. It’s a very pleasant up high that hits you in stages. It lasts for a couple of hours then drops off just as smooth as it comes on.
The high should get a little stronger after it’s had a chance to cure for a while.
最後的乾燥後的收成是121公克(4.5盎司)
不是我最過最好(多), 但也不是最差的, 絕對值得再種一次, 到目前為止我抽過的樣品都有個又順又甜的柑橘味的回甘, 感覺是一種非常舒服而愉快的HIGH, 一波波地衝擊而來, 維持個幾小時然後退得像來時一樣地順暢, 如果有機會再保存久一點, 感覺應該會再強烈些

Here are a few pictures of the dried bud to close out this journal.
以下是一些乾燥的照片, 做為這份記錄的結束 PEACE OUT
