2024/01/20 : as it survived, shiva skunk got a decent pot (1 gallon smartpot 50% canna coco pro / 50% hydroton) and 3 others are going on LST... 3 days growth : afghani #1 - 19.0 cm (+3.0) sensi skunk - 17.5 cm (+4.5) hindu kush - 16.5 cm (+3.0) shiva skunk - 11.5 cm (+2.0) 2024/01/23 : shiva skunk looks bad, with leaves going down and yellowing... it didn't like its transplant. The others are looking OK. I may have seen first pistils... The heights are : afghani #1 - 22.0 cm (+3.0) sensi skunk - 18.5 cm (+1.0) hindu kush - 18.5 cm (+2.0) shiva skunk - 11.0 cm (-0.5) 2024/01/24 : spayed with Foliar Spray from B.A.C. last night, don't know if it was OK for shiva skunk, we'll see. 3 others are preflowering without a doubt now. afghani #1 - 24.0 cm (+2.0) sensi skunk - 20.0 cm (+1.5) hindu kush - 21.0 cm (+2.5) shiva skunk - 11.5 cm (+0.5) 2024/01/25 : shiva skunk is struggling but it's not done yet. And I think stretch began for others.

Just getting going again after some mods to my grow box. I’ve replaced the main CFL bulb with an LED and it is much brighter. I also removed the second carbon filter to create more space in the box. The new setup allows for more even space and light distribution and overall more growing space. With the additional light I thought I would try out CO2 so I added an Exhale365 bag. Starting out with 3 plants, 2 Pineapple Express and 1 Pineapple Skunk. There was some type of burn on the first seedling but that was earlier on and it has grown a lot since I first noticed it. I planted the seeds days apart so a few are behind. Growbox summary: * grow space: 19”H x 17”W x 21”D * 4 small, 1 medium internal fans * 3 gallon hydro reservoir * 6 inch exhaust fan + 4 inch exhaust fan in sequence * 150W Mars Hydro TS-1000 (new) * 3 X 20W LED side lights (+1 new) * Exhale CO2 bag (new) Water temps are ranging from 68 up to 70. It’s a small space, but with light covering all sides I think I can get a decent yield. Last time 3.2 ounces were harvested from it. Hoping to hit 5 ounces this time by creating fewer, but larger colas. Day 6 update: * The pinex-1 is looking a little funky. It has weird leaf growth, some minor defects in color, super short compared to the others, and the first leafs are starting to canoe a little. * pinex-2 and pskunk are looking good and growing well, but the leaves aren’t very green. * decided to bump up nutrients a little by moving to week 2 on the schedule and diluting to 60%. That took the ppm up from 400(200 base) to 630(210 base). Hoping if they weren’t getting enough nutrients that this will fix it. * the new light might be a little to bright for these babies. Dimmed it to about 75% power.

End of day 41 flower and will be flushing both girls on day 42 flower. Overall the buds don’t seem as fat as it should be but hopefully during the flush they should gain some weight. I took a bunch of clones so those will be going to flower soon and now I have a better understanding of how to treat these girls during the flowering stage. Also popped two Blueberry seeds so I will have a journal on that soon.

Happy 4th everyone 🎆. I just returned from a 4 day family trip to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. I love that place and we had a lot of fun. The girls are doing great. I filled the reservoir before I left and it's was 1/4 remaining when I returned. That's one big advantage using the auto pots. If i was manual watering, i would be able to miss watering them more than a day. The posted pictures are 7 days from the last week photos. I also took a couple videos. With this being the beginning of week 5, I increased my bloom to 12ml per gallon. It's usually 9ml. I also increased my koolbloom from 3ml to 5ml per gallon. I'll go back to 9 and 3 on week 6. Thanks for looking and till next week 🙌 😀

*** Encontrarás la traducción a Español al final de la traducción en inglés *** ----- MEDIUM & EQUIPMENT ----- Luminary: HLG 100 v2 3000 k Tent: DR60 - 0.6 x 0.6 m Intractor/Extractor: None Vent: 10W Static Pots: 3 galon textile Nutrients: B.A.C., Advanced nutrients & Atami Soil: BioBizz ----- GROWING DATES ----- Seeds planted on Soil - May the 4th (be with you), I am them father Harvest - June 21th Complete Cycle from Seed - 76 Days Light Hours complete cycle - 19 Hrs ----- NUTRIENTS USED ----- Bases & Stimulators: B.A.C. Additives: Advanced Nutrients Others: ATAMI Bloombastic Cleaning: One Week with Advanced Nutrients “Flawless Finish” ----- GROWING ----- @Techniques, there were 2 plants: A taller one that growed it’s own, she was 1.07 m tall, you can see in the videos how she looks like, itˋs an Auto Beast. A smaller one on where i applied 2 techniques, a double topping (Topping x3), and a bit defoliation as can be shown in the video, she ended up with 0.5 m tall, 4 main colas, and the most dense buds i had among my autos. @Weight: The weight dried was surprisingly equal in both plants, while the bigger plant ended up in 67 gr, the small one was 62 gr and with much more bud density and crystal concentration, anyway both plants were very dense and crystal poblated. On wet, the weights were 276 g vs 226 g the smaller, what is translated wet2dry in a 24,28% vs 27,43% for the smaller one FTW!. That difference is very well appreciated in the density of the smaller plant buds, while both are very dense/compact/strong, the smaller plant buds are really MoonRocks. @Trim: Well well well, this part was awesome, very very very little amount of trim material, i finish the trimming of the bigger plant in about 6 min and 15 for the smaller what is real awesome in both cases, and the quality of the trims was incredible too, very good to ice wash it. @ Final product: The final product is almost equal in both plants, the smallest one acquired a stronger taste and concentration of crystals than the taller one, while both tastes are strong grapefruit, when you smoke buds from the small one is like real eating a grapefruit and it leaves a residual taste to orange some seconds after exhaling it, and when you touch or tear up any of both plants, the smell is also very strong to Grapefruit. My friends were shocked by the strong taste and smell to grapefruit it has, really. Good Job Spliff Seeds!, awesome strain!, I will grow it again for sure. 💪👌👌 ***** ESPAÑOL ***** ----- GENÉTICA DUTCH AUTO (Spliff Seeds NL) ----- Dutch Auto es una genética increíble en todos los aspectos, desde la facilidad de cultivarla hasta el producto final, pasando por la resistencia, la salubridad, el tamaño de la planta y la sencillez del pelado, son todo aspectos increíbles y notables de la planta. Sin podas, toppings ni cortes masivos, la planta ha alcanzado 1,07 m con una cola principal de más de 35 cm y una producción final de 67 gr de un producto espectacular, con un sabor de esos que se te quedan grabados y por el cual pasas a reconocerla de inmediato (lo que ocurría antiguamente (1998) con la Skunk). Los cogollos son compactos, gordos, duros, pegadizos y muy olorosos. El aroma y sabor del producto final es muy cítrico, es muy reconocible el sabor fuerte a pomelo, y en el caso de la planta pequeña deja un suave sabor a naranja en boca después de exhalarlo. ----- MEDIOS Y EQUIPO ----- Luminaria: HLG 100 v2 3000 k Tienda de cultivo: DR60 - 0.6 x 0.6 m Intractor/Extractor: Ninguno Ventilador: 10W Static Tiestos: Textiles de 3 galones Nutrientes: B.A.C., Advanced nutrients & Atami Sustrato: BioBizz ----- TIEMPOS DEL CULTIVO ----- Semilla a tierra - 4 de Mayo Cosecha - 21 de Junio Ciclo completo desde semilla - 76 Días Horas de luz - 19 Hrs ciclo completo ----- NUTRIENTES USADOS ----- Bases y Estimuladores: B.A.C. Aditivos: Advanced Nutrients Otros: ATAMI Bloombastic Limpieza: Una semana con “Flawless Finish” ----- CULTIVO ----- @Técnicas, son 2 plantas: Una alta que ha crecido sin técnicas aplicadas, ha alcanzado 1,07 m de alto, en los vídeos se puede ver cómo es una Auto brutal. Una pequeña a la que le he aplicado 2 técnicas, un topping doble (3 cortes) y una ligera defoliación que se puede ver en el vídeo. Esta planta ha acabado midiendo 0,5 m, teniendo 4 colas principales y los cogollos más densos que me haya dado ninguna auto. @Peso: El peso en seco es sorprendentemente parecido en ambas plantas, mientras que la planta grande ha terminado pesando 67 gr, la pequeña ha acabado en 62 gr y con cogollos más densos y poblados de cristales que la grande, aun así, ambas plantas han dado cogollos compactos y muy poblados. En húmedo los pesos fueron 276 gr Vs 226 gr la pequeña, lo que es una diferencia de húmedo a seco de 24,28% Vs 27,43% la pequeña. Esta diferencia es bien notable en la densidad de los cogollos de la planta pequeña que son como rocas lunares. @Pelado: Bueno bueno bueno, esta parte ha sido increíble, muy muy poca cantidad de restos de corte, acabé el pelado de la grande en unos 6 minutos y unos 15 para la pequeña lo que es increíble en ambos casos. Me he quedado sorprendido por la poca cantidad de material a pelar y la calidad de la misma, excelente para hacer bubble hash. @ Producto final: El producto final es casi igual en ambas plantas, la pequeña ha adquirido un sabor más fuerte y una concentración de cristales superior a la planta grande, mientras que ambas saben fuertemente a pomelo, cuando fumas de la pequeña, es como estar metiéndote un pomelo en la boca además de que deja un ligero sabor a naranja después de exhalarla. A la hora de tocarla o desmenuzar cualquiera de ellas el resultado es igualmente un fuerte aroma a pomelo. Mis amigos fumadores se quedaron realmente impresionados del fuerte sabor cítrico a pomelo que tiene, en serio, es increíble. Muy buen trabajo Spliff Seeds, Dutch Auto es una genética increíble, la volveré a plantar seguro!!! 💪👌👌

I want to thank my buddy @Vlugge_japie for helping me cut, without him i wouldnt able to trim her in 6 hours. I also want to thank you my followers for your kind words and encouragement to make her a monster. Without your messages a grow is just a grow, but through growdiaries and each other's diaries we want to challenge ourselves every grow Lots of love to you my new friends. Who am i ? until last november i have always grown hydro for a little over 11 years. But growing started to look more and more like work because i was more busy with programming my controllers for the ph / humidity / lights / soil moisture / temperature. Also the realization that i have 2 children and my own house made me nervous for the authorities because where i live growing is not allowed. So i decided to grow smaller where i previously had 200x180x200 space i opted for 70x70x160 with the result that i can only grow 1 strain at a time. The intention is to remain self-sufficient in this way and still be able to exchange or give away something here and there at a party. Although I am sponsored I will not be able to grow every strain because not every strain can deliver the result I need to remain self-sufficient. If you know of an auto strain or photo strain that takes at least 11 to 15 weeks I would like to know so that I can grow it in the future and of course I will try to set a record for that grown strain. Because during the 4 grows that I can do per year I can only try to achieve a record since I cannot show you multiple strains at once. I am happy that after 11 years I have found growdiaries and that I have met you my friends.Greetings MonyetDiablero.

Well she is doing excellent!! The smell is like earth, kush. But the smell of the stems are sweet like citrus, orange type smell. So sweet. The main branches are really strong so that means I trained her well. The thricomes are showing beautiful. She really enjoys her place and she is showing that. I can see that the Green Sensation is doing great. She still is stretching out but not so hard. I think she is almost stretched out. Man it is so amazing to see the whole process.😀

Happy 1 Month To My Girls (Inserts Celebration Emojis) I’m Very Proud Of The 1st Month’s Progress These Girls Has Really Exceeded My Expectations. I’m Very Proud Of The Of The Purple Power If You Go Back To Week 1 You Will See That She Started Off The Slowest But She Is Now The Tallest In The Pack Standing At 21 Inches (that’s without adding the few cm I covered with soil) She Has Also Shown Signs Of Purple In Her Bud Development (Favourite Color) Can’t Wait To See Them, You Go Girl! I’m Also Proud Of The Gorilla Glu (12 inches) Stardawg (17 inches) And Girls Scout Cookies (16 inches) Development, They Are My Favorite Buds Here In The UK. They Are Very Bushy & Branchy And Their Stems Are Very Thick. They Have The 3 Main Pillars To Accommodate BIG Buds. Happy Growing Everyone. #OwlGang #AGrowingEmpire

Hoping they finish their flower stretch this week, snoopy and hazel are pretty tall already and my tent won't support much higher. Branches are getting tougher to lst as they grow. Other than that, looking great. My goal for this grow is 150 grams, so on average about 38 per plant. As long as I hit 100 grams I'll be happy though (Day 39) glad I did more lst because Snoopy and Hazel are growing 5cm a day. Thea (bottom left) has stayed pretty small compared to her sisters, as a result she has only been able to claim a small corner in the tent, she's furthest in flower regardless though. (Day 41) starting to look like Hazel might actually become the biggest plant, her stem is way thicker than any of the others. She's also the least far in flower and working on her sidebranching

Both of these Gorilla Punch and Cherry Cola were a pleasure to grow. Very easy and forgiven not finicky at all. Very dense tricome covered flowers. They cured absolutely amazing bag appeal and taste to match. I highly recommend. I'm late adding this last step to the dairy as I thought I was finished didn't know I had to ad this step.

Okay so greedy finally decided to show me she’s a girl - I’m beyond chuffed ngl. She’s ready for the flip soon but I still have two others playing catch up so she’s gonna be stuck vegging for another couple weeks. I feel pretty lucky I don’t know wether these are just super bag seeds but I’ve had no issues with them considering they’re in my closet and I’ve been pretty much just doing everything by eye without the proper equipment. Happy days✌️
