Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

Siamo arrivati alla 8 settimana,le piante dimostrano una forza incredibili,sono le piu grandi che abbia mai fatto.é successa una cosa incredibile,in un vaso c'erano due piante che sembrano essersi fuse assieme diventando tipo un gogeta della marijuana,questo sembra avergli dato una forza incredibile,riuscendo a raggiungere i 2m di altezza senza essere entrata completamente in fioritura,crescerà ancora,per essere indoor hanno raggiunto dimensioni da record,é una pianta che ha bisogno di MOLTO spazio

Girls start well ❤️

11/17: I fed today but didn't have time for much of a photo session. Gave them One, Signal, Sweet & Sticky, Cha Ching, and started them on LiquidSoil. 11/19: Foxtailing a little bit, but still putting on size and frost. Still the best smelling strain in the garden!

Il top stava procedendo bene le bimbe crescono in salute

Very excited. Quick germination. Free seed from Attitude which I've had my eyes on for a while so pretty excited to have this lady pop! Hoping for a banger of plant! Running Greenhouse Hybred line

Annnnnnd here we go guys this was her final week. It went pretty fine even though I was hoping for some more fat colas, but you know, we take what she gave 😂😉. From day 65 to 67 she stay on a dark room and in day 68 I chopped her. Now is drying in a room at 26 degrees and 62% RH. I guess it will be ready in a week, and so I'll post the final results... That's all pals, stay tuned and stay high!

11/17 stopped all nutrients and started flushing the medium until harvest. Watering the same schedule and amount, just plain well water ph between 7.3 to 7.6 The trichomes on this plant are crazy, sugar leaves, fan leaves and even the stem is covered in trichomes. Not much defoliation needed as leaves were pretty minimal throughout the grow.

What a fantastic grow, this has now overtaken another plant thst was started 2 weeks before this F1, the growth on this plant is phenomenal !! Buds look like they have started to form nicely, as this is an auto i have taken to try and tuck levlaves in to open more light to buds below as I do not want to defoliate being an auto. Still amazed at the speed of this strain and already looking forward to next week's update for you all. 🌱

OK guys I've shut them down to 4hrs light a day for 2 days now. They have really filled out those buds and are looking extra sugary. I have been watering with 140ppm water at 6.2-7 pH with flawless finish for 6 days now. I have just given them probably the last watering will leave them for another 3-5 days on 4hr schedule before turning lights off for 2 days and then harvesting. Next diary will be the harvest!! I hope nothing goes tits up from here😂

Was all good this week, still slow but she is getting frosty

Our Karen Kush #1 Automatic from Zamnesia is practically very tall, very tall, but maybe that's not enough. It's a truly beautiful beast that will give us tons of weed to smoke. The main cola is magnificent, standing out at the top in the characteristic indica shape where the main cola grows much higher than the side colas, which therefore need to be carefully trimmed at the bottom to avoid producing fake flowers. We're a week behind the others, and I thank God and all the saints for having planted this seed. It's very tall, but so is the other one, showing great stability in the strain. It smells really pleasant! Techniques chosen - Here the plant grew straight, only with careful trimming at the bottom, just like mom did, and as usual with autoflowering strains, nature chose the best method. We are 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we chose is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to start growing more smoothly and reliably, without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week is enough, so don't overdo it. We're in the final flowering stage and things are starting to get serious, so let's add our legendary bloom stimulator and get started with Bloom. - Pure Zym 1 ml/l - Silic Rock 1 ml/l - CalMag Pro 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal 1 ml/l - Power Buds 1 ml/l - Alga Bloom 0 ml/l (Too much dark juice additives to boost buds) - Green Sensation 1 ml/l Ready to flush, started on the day of the photos, but last week she was fed only additives to give the flowers a final boost. Choose your preferred style and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Take a look at the new growshop section with everything you need for cultivation. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop A very good strain, it will grow tall and with wide internodal spacing, making it ideal for LST but also stunning when grown upright. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/10783-zamnesia-seeds-karen-kush-auto.html Z - Zamnesia Seeds - There's no need to complain about this strain: Karen Kush Auto will satisfy even the most demanding smokers with its dense flowers, fragrant terpenes, and high THC content. Created by crossing Monster Bud Kush, White Widow, and ruderalis, Karen Kush Auto boasts first-class genetics that leave no room for complaint. Inhale its sweet aroma of spices and diesel and enjoy the physical buzz that envelops you. After a few minutes, the only thing you'll want is a comfortable place to relax. And best of all, you won't find this strain anywhere else, as it was created by the geneticists at Zamnesia Seeds. Karen Kush Auto is slightly indica-dominant, which manifests itself in its bushy structure, resilience, and moderate height. Despite its name, Karen Kush Auto is anything but demanding. It only requires good soil, regular watering, and fertilizer to fuel its vigorous vegetative growth. When it transitions to the flowering stage, it will stretch to a final height of around 70–90cm, depending on the space available. If you like what you've read about growing Karen Kush Auto, wait until you smoke it. This 60% indica strain produces dense flowers loaded with resin and vibrant terpenes that evoke aromas of sweet citrus, black pepper, and diesel. The floral notes create the perfect backdrop for the pungent diesel scent. And after smoking, sit back and let the waves of euphoria and heavy physical intoxication glue you to the couch with a big smile and slitted eyes; it's perfect for evening use or weekend relaxation! You know it, but I recommend it. Here you'll find many beautiful things, essentially "all the best nature has to offer."

2 weeks remaining according to the fastbuds beginning to harvest chart. Both plants are looking great and smelling strong. I just wish it would be more of a yield and hoping for heavy dense buds. Cant wait to try these strains.
