Die Auto Candy Bubatz hat einen harten Ritt hinter sich und noch vor sich. Ich habe sie an den heißesten Platz mit der geringsten Luftfeuchtigkeit gesetzt, der mir bei gutem Wetter zur Verfügung steht. Tagsüber in der Sonne und nachts vor einer aufgeheizten Wand. Sie bekam nur noch Wasser und wurde zweimalig gespült. Ich hoffe so weitere Schimmelausbrüche unterbinden zu können und eine gute Reife zu erreichen.🙏 Optisch hat sie sich zu letzter Woche wenig verändert, die Buds sind fester geworden, die Stempelhaare dunkler und es sind ein paar gelbe Blattspitzen dazu gekommen. Es sind nur noch ein paar frische Stempelhaare vorhanden, am obersten Bud. Bie Buds glitzern in der Sonne wie der frische Morgentau (muss meiner Freude Ausdruck verleihen), zeigen aber noch keine Verfärbungen hin zum bernsteinfarbenen, beginnen milchig zu werden. Sie hat nun eine heiße Woche vor sich, in der sie weiter ausreifen kann. Der zwischenzeitliche Schimmelbefall hat mich insgesamt 2-5% der Ernte gekostet. Dieser Grow lehrt mich auch unvorhergesehene Ereignisse einzukalkulieren und geeignete Mittel zur Verfügung zu haben. Ratlosigkeit ist keine Lösung. In diesem Grow ging es für mich darum, die Pflanze nicht aufzugeben und aus den verfügbaren Mitteln Outdoor das beste zu machen. Vielen Dank für euren Besuch mit besten Wünschen für eine sonnige und heiße Grow-Woche, eine Hitzewelle steht an.☀️🍀 --- The Auto Candy Bubatz has had a tough ride behind it and still has a tough ride ahead of it. I have placed it in the hottest spot with the lowest humidity that I have available in good weather. During the day in the sun and at night in front of a heated wall. It only received water and was rinsed twice. I hope this will prevent further mold outbreaks and allow it to mature well.🙏 Visually, it has changed little since last week; the buds have become firmer, the pistil hairs darker, and a few yellow leaf tips have appeared. There are only a few fresh pistil hairs left on the top bud. The buds glisten in the sun like fresh morning dew (I have to express my joy), but are not yet showing any discoloration towards amber and are beginning to turn milky. It now has a hot week ahead of it, during which it can continue to mature. The mold infestation in the meantime cost me a total of 2-5% of the harvest. This grow also teaches me to take unforeseen events into account and to have suitable means at my disposal. Perplexity is not a solution. In this grow, it was important for me not to give up on the plant and to make the best of the available outdoor resources. Thank you for visiting, and best wishes for a sunny and hot growing week—a heatwave is on the way.☀️🍀

OCTOBER 20 (DAY 24): Week four has begun, and I am now so completely full of questions. I’ve got preflowers on at least 2 of the 3 plants, the terminal nodes (is that right?) on all three are looking... uh... busy... lots of long, skinny growth coming out of the bud sites. I am wondering if this means it’s time to start transitioning to bloom nutes, or if I’m a little early yet. On the subject of bloom nutes..... wtf? There are so many options, and it’s hard to tell what can be used with other things and what products are supposed to be direct competitors. This is definitely going to require some trial and error. I’m also not sure what to do about the lights. Because I’m using LST on some but not all of the plants, one is significantly taller than the others (and thus closer to the lights)... this looks like a grow question. OCTOBER 21 (DAY 25): After dealing with a runaway heat problem in my tent and major height discrepancies between the LST’ed plants and the control plant, I decided to reorganize the tent... again. I’ve got my tiny tent in a nook in my bathroom, and there aren’t any ports for intake fans at the bottom of the tent (just windows), so I had been running a small intake fan shoved right up between one of the mesh intake windows and the wall. That didn’t give a ton of open air for the intake fan to draw from, so I rotated the tent 90 degrees so the intake fan has the open room air to pull from. I also raised the LST’ed plants by about 6” so the canopies of all three plants will sit roughly equal. We’ll see if this works. Τoday I fed the plants again. I’m not sure if I am going to prefer to go the FF Bembe route or the AN Big Bud/Bud Candy/Overdrive route, so I am doing a side-by-side on my LST’ed plants. Plant 3 received Bud Candy today, while plant 1 will get Bembe starting next week. I have only been feeding the plants nutes once a week. I’m wondering if I should step that up or just stick to once a week unless the plants start squawking. Any feedback would be much appreciated. TL;DR: To flower or not to flower... to feed or not to feed... to water or not to water... these are the questions. Control plant = winning. ***************************** LST Kit Info ***************************** In case anyone is interested in the LST kit I am using: https://www.etsy.com/listing/831218796/growth-manipulation-kit-for-low-stress Engineered Essentials offers these in two sizes — regular and seedling/clone. I think these autos are small enough that I should have gone with the seedling size, but I have some on the way and will report back once I give them a shot and can compare.

The humidity continues to be very high and even the small humidifier I put inside the tent isn’t bringing it to where I need to be. Probably going to go out and get a dehumidifier to cover the entire basement or vent it out my next grow. Either way, it doesn’t seem to be harming them too much. It’s finally stopped stretching and the buds have started to fatten. Orange hairs are starting to show and most of the buds are sticky to the touch ( even brushing my arm up against them). Still defoliating a little each day to see if that helps with the humidity.

Had a couple of the stems which were almost drooping on the ground due to the weight of the buds, so decided to harvest those two branches today. Also, this week I did a bit more research on when to harvest. I had been waiting for the trichomes to begin to turn amber, but after reading this article: https://www.growweedeasy.com/harvest, I decided to harvest when the trichomes were cloudy. Experts say that the amber trichomes give a more relaxing effect, but I was growing this plant for daytime use. Looked at it under my digital microscope and decided to pull the trigger on the whole plant. Plus, the neighbors were starting to notice the smell. Final height - 104" - 8 1/2 feet - 2.64 meters. Not good. Was concerned that someone would hop the fence and pilfer my plant. Harvested her at 35 weeks - 281 days. Grow diaries really needs to expand the weeks available for us outdoor growers. Started her indoors in Feb. Transplanted outside on April 7th.

15. Woche Sie sind jetzt in ihren Finalen Raum umgezogen und bleiben jetzt hier bis zur Ernte 😄

Just water

Hi✌️Today is day 63 and all very nice as for me... I started pour my girl as ",flawless finish" 1 day ago and it will be till day 67 (every day 1.5l). Than will be 2 days DARK and day 69 will be harvest... It will be very crystal and nice buds I think... She looks like "Black rose" . It's just that it must be seen by daylight... I will show you next time in harvest day.✌️

At the end of week 8 the BMR is showing signs of further yellowing of the leaves could be the plant has used up all the nutrients in the substrate. The bracts are swelling up and the try chromes and more clear looking like 60%. The lady will continue to receive pure balanced phd water until the end of her bloom cycle!

Dans l'ordre: 1) Afghan Peach x Blue Monkey 2) Gelato Cake 3) Fast Critical Poison 4) Tropical Fuel 5) Hindu Kush 6) (Blueberry x Black Domina) X (Kosher Kush x Mk-Ultra) 7) Blueberry 8) Herz OG 9) (Blueberry x Black Domina) X (Kosher Kush x Mk-Ultra)

Thanks to the advice of you guys, they get in better shape then ever before. The extra grow nuts keep them in a better darkish green, instead of paling out. The 2 mainlines look very strong! Keep on growing 🍀🍀🍀 Day 14 bloom Dont know what to expect from the 2 mainline practice. But looking pretty amazing so far. On to week 3 of bloom Laterz 🍀🍀🍀

Primera semana de floración. Las niñas crecen en condiciones óptimas y recién hecha limpieza de bajos. Se ve que son muy buenas genéticas ya en la fase vegetativa.

She’s been chopped and trimmed—final weight came in at 105g. The buds are dense, pleasantly heavy, and absolutely beautiful. They shimmer like green velvet under the light, a texture and glow that feels almost surreal after weeks of care and anticipation. It’s a satisfying end to the cycle, and seeing the results laid out makes all the effort worthwhile. Now onto drying and curing, with hopes of preserving every bit of that richness.

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

📅 Week 11 – Day 76 / FLO42 Conditions are still challenging – warm and humid, making it hard to maintain a high VPD. This week I removed some fan leaves to improve airflow between the buds. Despite the tough climate, the flowers are swelling nicely, and the trichome coverage is looking great – no complaints here. The forecast says a cooler and rainy week is coming, so I'm hoping to push them further into ripening with the help of a dehumidifier. We keep moving forward – the finish line is getting close! 💪
