So I suspect the Golden Goat to have subtle mag def. I’ve upped the Epsom salts a bit to help. Also the Mandarine XL Auto is amazing and this discoloration in its leaves I believe to be from getting handled and snagging on the trellis when bending through. I try to be delicate, but it shows. I’ve not been taking meticulous account of things but here’s as of day 19… Day 19: Low/High - 66F at night, 76F during the day. Moisture Levels: set @ 56% RH Moisture level fluctuations from 54%-68% depending on time and temperature as well as moisture levels in the pot itself. As the pot gets dry I will lower the VPD a bit. Fly Traps: CLEAN-w/ 2 fungus gnats (1/week) both located @ MXL (MXL= Mandarine XL Auto) No signs of mold or mildew. Ventilation Setting: Humidity 57% RH Light Intensity (Dimmer Switch @ 75%) 3” tall. The Critical Purple Autoflower shares the tent: while exhibiting signs similar to mosaic virus, I believe this to not be the case, and instead a genetic pigment deformation possibly induced from the high UV LED lights. I’m only basing this theory of of other anecdotes. I’m not willing to test the contagion properties, but I’m going to pop a seed for just that purpose. Until then I wear gloves or wash hands and sterilize equipment before and after each plant until I can rule out a contagion or not. Planing to update my feed and get some ppm measurements. Also I’m thinking the MXL is ready for a little Regalia and a foliar feed. Only thing is a 2 hour window from 3-5am! But I will feed a little Regalia and Venerate sometime this week.

deluxe slurbet are frosting up nicely and drinking about 2-2.3L of water every 2-2.5 days. The GSC are drinking 1/2 that amount and are showing major signs of what I assume to be cal/mag deficiency. I dished out a lot of cash to go with a more “organic” calcium source with Herculean Harvest (1/2 cost was shipping to Canada) but it doesn’t seem to be cutting it. Maybe the issue is Mg. Maybe it’s a disease … as these gsc always seem to have issues.. not sure Fed both cultivars cal mag at day 33

📆 Week 13, 4-10 January 2024 4 January - Turned light time back 2hrs to a schedule of 14/10, and lowered light power to 50%. This will facilitate ripening by mimicking an autumn environment. 7 January - Flushed system, filled with RO water and 10ml p/gal HG FloraKleen, PH 6.2. 10 January - Turned lights off. 📑 This was the final week of flowering. It will be followed now by 3 days in darkness, giving a total of 7 days in plain RO water. This provides the proper nutrient flush and a small cannibinoid/terpene boost just prior to harvest. Which will be 13 January. She will then be followed by a 7-14 day curing process, where she’ll hang for 5-7 days until the chlorophyll has dried in the leaves, then trimmed, weighed, put into mason quart jars and burped until a RH of 62% is reached/maintained. While in this state the flower will reach its peak potency/flavor in about 30-40 days, and can last for 6-12 months. An overall interesting grow. Especially if you like the color purple. She grew rather rapidly for about 6 weeks as expected from an autoflower, then slowed down and flowered simultaniously. Buds are on the smaller side but tight. There certainly was no problem in resin development as she is quite frosty, sticky and smelly. The trichomes have purple and clear stems with milky heads, about 5-10% amber and 10%(+) clear. All white pistils have turned orange or brown. Genetics are very stable with no signs of foxtailing or hermaphroditism. The only problem I’ve had was with nutrient sensitivity in flower phase - specifically week 8. It will depend on the end product quality as to whether I will grow this strain again or not. My final update will run a few days later than usual, but will include the Harvest and Smoq review information. I want everyone to know I appreciate all the support, likes, looks, follows, mentions and speedy answers to my questions! You are all phenomenal! Muchas gracias! Vielen dank! Спасибо! Merci beaucoup! Thank you! 🍽️ Nutrient change on 4 January 🐲 Feeding schedule updated 4 January 🌊 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient Solution EC .8 at 60 degrees F 💡 Light power at 50% That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Una semana satisfactoria, ha resultado ser una bonita hembra , continuo con el diario. Se notan tricomas en las hojas, seguramente se llenara de resina. 📅 Dia 8: sesion de fotografías. 📅 Dia 9: Riego con nutrientes EC 1.100 EC escurrida 2200, se ha subido algo la EC, siguientes riegos a agua hasta llegar a la EC deseada. 📅 Dia 10: Riego con agua, se seca en solo 24 horas, tendre que estar pendiente. EC escurrida por determinar 📅 Dia 11: Riego con nutrientes EC 900 EC escurrida 1700. 📅 Dia 12: Descanso, en el proximo riego necesita comer, lo noto en su aspecto. 📅 Dia 13: Riego con agua y sale una EC escurrida de 850, a si que aplico otro riego con nutrientes EC 1350 y escurre 1300. Ahora si que se alimenta de los nutrientes y no sobran sales. 📅 Dia 14: Descanso

Bien pues ya tenemos en marcha el 2º seguimiento del perfil... Son 6 white truffles, 6 Apple&Bazzokies de GBSTRAINS y 5 GG4 de GBSEEDS que se empezaron a germinar el 15 de mayo por la tarde sobre las 19:00 Todas nutridas con BOOM nutrients jejeje Todas las semanas iremos viendo los cambios y la evolución, los riegos y las flores que vendrán :) El 16 de mayo del 23 sobre las 07:00 de la mañana pase las semillas del vaso con agua, a los tapers con servilleta. Ahí estuvieron 24 horas mas haciendo un total de 36 horas germinando para después, pasarlas a las macetas de 1 litro. 22/05/23 actualizado, meto unas fotos mas de como van las semillas después de 7 días desde que se empezaron a germinar en el vaso de agua. A día 22/05/23 llevamos 7 días desde que se empezaron a germinar. ACTUALIZACION DE ESTADO: 30/05/23 Subo unas fotos después de 8 días. Llevamos 15 días desde que se empezó a germinar las semillas en vaso de agua. A partir de aquí, empiezo a contar semanas de crecimiento. Trasplantaremos a maceta definitivas de 7L dentro de una semana o 2.

Everything is filling out nicely. The Banana Jealousy is finally catching up to the Black Opal x Zkittles in terms of bud size. She's starting to smell sweet and creamy. I'm very much looking forward to these finishing up. 13 hours on, moving toward 10 hours on over the last two weeks.

I replaced my 2 hawthorne brurple led lights for a new spider farmer sf-1000 I purchased and my plants are loving it. Running 20 hours on 4 off an it's still hasn't gotten tent temp is so much more stable. Lst day 24 bounced back quick and healthy their really taking off did a lil defoliation to expose bud sites

-Total days above ground: 70 Total flower nights: 31 Vege growth stopped around FD25. Started feeding 1/2 strength fertilizer FD26 (last 6 irrigations including today). Excellent development across the canopy. Tried to get some pictures showing how the colas are stacking up along with a couple shots of terminal buds. Included some photos and videos of irrigation setup, drainage and other half of the tent setup that is not often visible in weekly updates. Also, a video showing the canopy with some grateful dead background music. Last week including progression pictures as they are full size. Animal Mints is doing well. AM3 was the one plant that had some leaf symptoms early. That stopped as it got into maturity, but clearly was not 100% happy with my formula. It was the first to cease vege growth, and I think I exacerbated the deviation from the rest of the crop by continueing to feed full strength. It doesn't look much better after lowering dose, but 1 problem child out of 8 is tenable. I'm sure the buds will be fine, but it was removed from the Fem breeding run. This won't cost much in yield and am still very impressed with the consistency of MSNL seeds over this grow and the last grow (2025-2 diary). Smell is starting to ratchet up. Bud sites are mostly formed at this point and we will see some noticable ripening by next week's update. Might see a hint of fattening calyxes in the bud pictures this week. 2026-2 starts in 8 days. Will have some Blue Cookies and Pineapple Express from MSNL running along side some Vanilla Creme Pie from HSC. Can't believe winter-2 is already starting. Time is flying by. Breeding cycle is doing well. Will update that when the pollen-receivers join the pollen-donator on a 12/12 light schedule. Side note -- looks like I avoided any issues from accidentally leaving port hole opened about 8 or 9 days ago. I have it marked in notes and will feel 100% confident 2-weeks out from the incident. So far, so good. The lung room is mostly dark and light would have to travel a difficult path to get in the tent, but still mildly concerned about it.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of water to be fed. Day 1 we have high temperature of 91°F with mostly sunny skies. I watered 2-3 gallons from the hose. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 90°F with clear, sunny skies. I watered 2-3 gallons from the hose. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 97°F with mostly sunny skies. It was a scorcher. I watered 2-3 gallons twice today from the hose. Day 4 we had high temperature of 95°, but it felt like 102°. Skies were partly cloudy. I watered 2-3 gallons twice today. Day 5 we had rain the previous night and early morning. We had cloudy skies, with high temperature of 81°F. I did not water today. I added 50ml blood meal to each pot spread evenly on top of the soil. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 87°F and mostly sunny skies. I watered 2-3 gallons. Day 7 we had partly cloudy skies and a high temperature of 86°F. I watered 2-3 gallons each pot This week was a success. These girls really began to fill out. We've got another month ish til flower begins so I expect these to be monsters.

They are no longer teenagers and are women in their prime! The buds harden and thicken and it is a joy to watch the changes day by day. Now we start observing the trichomes and wait for the optimal day D, hour H.

So this week i Can only enjoy how much she's growing. I had to do some more defoliation on day 23. I surely should defoliate way more but wanted to try like this. On day 25 , I just enjoy the view of that Wonderful plant😊
