26.1. - I've added some wires back to spread the branches as much as possible. I think that plants look very nice and buds are getting bigger each day 😎 27.1. - Added more Cal-Mag and also some Epsom salt to the nutrient mix. I think the plants are starting to show signs of deficiency. Same thing happened on last run at the same time, so I hope I will catch it in time. Watered 💧 30.1. - I've decided to remove Bio Grow from my mix completely and upped the Cal-Mag. However, yellowing is still present 😩 Watered 💧 1.2. - Week wrap-up: I'm happy to say that this was another successful week as plants gained a lot of new growth and existing buds are gaining and becoming fat and frosty. ❄️ Also, I think I've managed to stop the yellowing.

Welcome to my Sour Strawberry scrog diary sponsored by Spider-Farmer & Barneysfarm. Veg Days 29-42 Days 35-38 Days 35-37 49-52 Weeks since sprouted 7.5-8 Plant is pushing along. As with the others she had ph issues. Pushed through. Last week I pult Alga Grow as Plagron suggest it be a week r 2 apart from alga bloom But, she was lacking N. So, I added Raw N in just 150ppm. And the N issue was curved. Kept them both going on everything. Probably could of been flipped last wk. But, I'll do so this week. And weave the nodes and attach them to the net. I'm sure I'll figure it out during the stretch before pre flower. Then once that's over. I just let it grow. And tops that will grow beyond the canopy I'll pull them down. Hoping for a 5-8cm difference in the canopy. I'm gonna to have to cut a lot out that doesn't reach the net. But, I've made sure there's more than enough growth to sustain a full 50cm2 tent full of buds/colas with my limit of a canopy where all colas/bud tops are within 5-8cm. Pref 5 would be ideal. Let's see how the stretch goes. Its been harder than I thought. I defo wouldn't do this again with 2 different phenos. Clones really is a must id of been able to flip 2 weeks had they been the same. There's so much growth that isn't gonna make it, the stems are thick I've been stripping a defol the past 2 weeks and 70% off the nodes are up at the net. So, maybe I'm a bit ahead. You'll see where I'm at in 2 weeks. Diet Pult Alga Grow about 10 days ago. And she was threw into shortage of N. So, I gave 150ppm added to tap. And, seems to be doing a great job. Will start of Alga Bloom this week. And maybe I'll add 50 ppm of Raw N into it. I'll see. Thanks for stopping by, look forward to seen your grows. Either way, good growing.

DAY 42 F: Another roasting week in the grow room. Temps have been hitting 37°c still and keeping them watered has been a battle. The water has been taken up instantly and they had built up a little too much nute in the soil. We have a major yellowing of 2 of the middle row plants ( mango x mimosa fast bud cream cookie) They are still building buds but you can see the effort is taking them without the green for photosynthesis. Hopefully they will be fixable over the coming days. The Banana mash are doing well and even with the heat issues , still bud building. They have shaggy looking buds at present but I am confident they will become more solid soon and swell more. They have a pungent banana hit now and they are so tacky to touch too. The mutant #4 has really spread put at the back of the middle row and is producing some nice looking buds too. Purple Monkey continue to make me drool when I handle them and the buds up close look so edible. With their sweet candy smell and pinky/reds , i cant wai to try these out. They are just pushing their second pistil flush so should swell nicely over the next week or so. The heat has not bothered these at all it seems and keeping them nice and areated to avoid mould being able to form has been this weeks task. All fed and watered for the day now . Until next week grownies. Be safe and well. Keep the vitamin D up and bask in the sunshine of God green planet . peace and blessings

Been on 12/12 for a week and this girl is getting stretchy. Starting to look like preflower. Did some defoliation and spread her branches out a little. I moved her to the middle of the back row because I am trying to pair similar sized plants up for even light height. Nutrients per gallon .5 tsp maxigro .25 tsp maxibloom .25 tsp armor si .5 tsp calimagic .1 tsp 90/10 humic/fulvic acid Ph to 6.0 Pumping nutrients 24 hours

~Dutch Passion Auto Melonade Runtz~ [Auto Pink Runtz x Melonade (Lemon Z x Lemon Tree)] Hello again fam! I always LOVE😍running genetics from my friends at Dutch Passion Seed Company. This is a unique autoflower version of the photoperiod Melonade Runtz and is kinda special as this strain, along with her other abundant terpenes, has a relatively unknown terpene by the name of farnesene which peaked my curiosity as a lover of terpenes... aren't we all?🤪 For a more in depth and thorough description of Auto Melonade Runtz I defer to the proverbial 'horses mouth', Dutch Passion. "Auto Melonade Runtz is a powerful Runtz autoflower crossing that is incredibly potent and pungent due to the addition of Melonade genetics. The dried buds have nice bag appeal and a commercial look. She is suitable for every type of grower (including beginners). This cannabis strain does well in soil and coco-fiber, but can also be grown hydroponically for the highest yields. She has an XL yield and has an average autoflower seed to harvest time of 11 weeks. Auto Melonade Runtz is a strong and robust hybrid autoflower plant with good branching, sturdy buds with a unique terpene profile. She usually has a fruity and creamy aroma and taste. The THC content is high and the effects are very potent. Auto Melonade Runtz is a potent autoflower with both a high THC percentage and a powerful terpene profile. In terms of aroma, she leans most towards a mix of sweet, creamy and fruity notes. The most dominant are the doughy/creamy tones of the Runtz genetics. The fruity notes vary from tropical, berry-like to slightly sour. This makes her an ideal strain for cannabis connoisseurs looking for a unique sensory experience. Some phenotypes sometimes seem to resemble Gorilla Glue in terms of smell. Others seem to be a bit more towards a fruity 'Kush'. All in all a very complex and interesting fragrance profile! In terms of taste, this Melonade Runtz autoflower version is also very pleasant. The fruity notes are at their best here, the 'inhale' can be nice and fruity with notes of berries, tropical fruit and melon. The creamy and doughy notes are a little more in the background and come more to the fore on the 'exhale'. The most common terpenes in this autoflower cross are in no particular order; limonene, linalool, myrcene, caryophyllene and humulene. And the relatively new and unknown terpene called farnesene (or 'B-farnesene' ) is also strongly present. Auto Melonade Runtz was created by crossing an Auto Pink Runtz mother and a Melonade father (made by reversing an elite mother plant). Our Melonade genetics are a cross of the legendary and cup-winning Lemon Zkittle and a clone-only Lemon Tree. The offspring was in turn crossed with a female Auto Pink Runtz through the well-known feminisation process. This new autoflower is the Gold-standard of contemporary autoflower genetics. Not too big, not too small, but just right and she doesn't mess around when it comes to yield. By combining the well-known Runtz and Melonade genetics, a beautiful new hybrid has been created that will appeal to every grower. Auto Melonade Runtz is a hybrid THC-rich cannabis strain with a strong cannabinoid profile, an average flowering time & a high yield Auto Melonade Runtz has been received with great praise within the Dutch Passion test team. The buds of this strain really have a unique terpene profile combined with a very high potency. The flowers also look super white and frosty. In addition, the dried buds are dense and compact. All in all, great bag appeal making her very suitable for real 'cannasseurs'. During the vegetative phase, every cannabis grower will note that this is an enjoyable strain to grow. She grows easily and has many side branches that gradually grow longer. Most plants exhibit the classic Dutch Passion auto structure. A beautiful thick main bloom surrounded by many well-developed side blooms. A true growth explosion takes place during weeks 4 and 5. The branches start their stretching period. This ensures that the plant will increase considerably in size during the next 3 weeks. The internodes are fairly close together and this ensures relatively well-connected buds. From week 7 onward, trichome production really starts and the buds start to look whiter. By week 9 everything is packed with crystals and you see the true nature of this beautiful autoflower strain. The buds are compact and glisten beautifully with THC-rich trichomes. In general, this strain has a seed to harvest time of around 11 weeks. In exceptional cases they bloom 1-2 weeks longer, especially when they are not grown in optimal conditions. Outdoors, the flowering time can also take a little longer and she needs an average of around 13 (to a maximum of 15) weeks to fully ripen. Her rounded and compact buds make her easy to cut and manicure. The buds are very sticky, so the use of gloves is recommended. However, while cutting you can use the sticky resin on your scissors to make delicious finger hash. Auto Melonade Runtz is an average sized plant but despite this she has a high yield. The strain grows sturdy side branches, and the buds are still relatively compact even at the bottom. The internode distance is average. This creates buds that are close together on the stem but do not completely merge. The genetics used for Auto Melonade Runtz guarantee the following properties: A fast, stable and potent THC-rich autoflower cannabis strain with a hybrid plant and bloom structure which are also easy to harvest Auto Melonade Runtz is a powerful cannabis strain with a very high THC level which can reach up to 25%, the terpene profile is also high and this makes her ideal for cannabis connoisseurs (cannasseurs) This strain is easy to grow and, due to the classic Dutch Passion auto structure, ensures high yields when grown naturally, but also in a SOG culture (packed together in small diameter containers which restrict side growth, focusing bud growth on the main bloom) Auto Melonade Runtz is best suited for indoor cultivation, but can also be grown outdoors. Her plant structure is medium to large and she produces buds with a unique cannabinoid and terpene profile. Auto Melonade Runtz has an average autoflower seed to harvest time of around 11 weeks. This is typically the time it takes to fully complete the grow indoors in a controlled environment. This autoflower is also best grown on a 20/4 schedule. This gives the plants a short rest period so that they can recover and prepare for the next day. In an unstable indoor climate it can sometimes take 1 to 2 weeks longer to fully ripen. This also applies to outdoor cultivation. Usually the greatest day/night temperature differences are outdoors and this can slightly delay the total autoflower seed to harvest time. In a temperate outdoor climate it is best to plan for 12 to a maximum of 15 weeks. In a dry and sunny (e.g. Mediterranean) climate, most plants will be ready for harvest within 11-12 weeks.This gives the very white buds an even more beautiful and unique appearance! Auto Melonade Runtz is a powerful autoflower with strong genes from several award-winning USA genetic lines. Crossing these hybrid cannabis genetics has created a stable and robust autoflower that can take a beating and still deliver. This makes her suitable for beginners and growers who are still improving their skills. She grows very easily and quickly naturally, without any grow techniques. If you like to grow in soil/coco, preferably give her a pot of at least 15-20L for a stress-free experience. If you want to use a slightly larger container, we recommend a pot of around 30-35L. This ultimately ensures that she can grow larger and has a better buffer against dehydration and possible nutritional deficiencies. The same applies to outdoor cultivation. Choose a larger pot for a better buffer zone, making it easier for her to thrive in a variety of conditions. It is best to give black pots a white cover on the outside, so that the light of the sun is reflected and the root temperature of the plants does not rise further and cause damage (black containers absorb a lot of heat in direct sunlight). She can also be grown in the open ground in more sunny and dry areas, but for the highest yield we recommend growing her in containers, preferably smart pots or root pouches for outdoors and airpots for indoor cultivation. This is the perfect autoflower strain for those who love a potent cannabis strain with strong smelling and tasty terpenes. The Dutch Passion test team was immediately sold after smoking and vaping this strain during the blind trials. The Farnesene terpene present gives the aroma profile something unique that we have not experienced before." I know that was A LOT to read, but this strain deserves it and I cannot wait to see what this lady can do...Let's Goooo!🤩💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~ This will be a 100% Organic grow ~ Initially seed was germinated in a moist paper towel, then planted directly into the medium. ~ Grown in a 15L Gronest fabric pot filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite amended with BioTabs Organic Amendments and 30% Worm Castings. ~ Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with Gaia Green slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~ Straight well water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ~ Grown under HLG 650R's with a 19/5 light cycle with supplemental UVA added during the last weeks of flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~ Supplemental co2 provided throughout vegetation and flower - monitored and controlled by an AutoPilot APC8200 co2 controller. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 8/14- Ten weeks from seed now and seven weeks of flowering have brought the Dutch Passion Auto Melonade Runtz to an epic finish! Today I'll be placing the Auto Melonade Runtz in complete darkness for 72hrs during which time I will have the temp's in the mid 60's℉ and maintain a RH of 40-45%. I also watered her today so that she wouldn't dry out during her time in 'dark jail' with straight well water that was ph'd to 6.8 @ 68℉. 8/17- After three full days in total darkness, the Dutch Passion Auto Melonade Runtz emerged today drenched in beautiful coloration and loaded with trichomes... another epic result from Dutch Passion genetics!🔥🔥🔥 Now that the first 1/3 of the process is complete, it's time to get this girl chopped and hung to begin the drying/curing process so that we can get to the Smoke Report and see if the Auto Melonade Runtz smokes as good as she looks! Stay tuned for the Harvest Report coming soon!😎 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Another decent week in regards to growth, I'm sure that by mid way through next week flowering will begin. The leafs on this lady are hugh, she is competing with two other plants in the tent which may not be the best position for her but all is looking good and one of the other ladies will be harvested soon allowing More space to thrive. The weather has been ok, nothing that will slow this lady down.

Assuming there’s only a few weeks left before harvest, 2-3 weeks. More or less the same thing throughout. Didn’t deal with pests, disease…just lived a good life

I give 8 liters of water per pot. I was giving a 2-nutrient callmag, but the water coming out from the bottom has high ppm, so I will give empty watering. Day 97-Bloom 38= sugar leaves and immature buds were cuted
