8 weeks / 56 days today. Growth has slowed down a lot this week luckily. Smell is getting really hard to contain now. Sticky orange buds still nowhere near as big as purple skunk but definitely a bit fatter than last week. Purple skunk buds are getting a lot fatter. Both are really sticky to the touch, looking a bit frosty close up and can see plenty of trichomes. Little bit of leaf burn but not a lot I can do because of the space issue so just tucking the branches and leaves as best I can and moving the lights around a bit to minimise it. Watering between 1 and 1.5 litres every other day and they are soaking it all up. Increased to 3ml per litre of nutrients too. Humidity has been a lot easier to keep under control this week and hasn’t risen above 60 all week so I am happy with that. it’s been a worry for a few weeks. I had a real panic this week when I thought I saw seed sacks forming at the base of each branch. But after hours and hours of reading, I am pretty sure they’re calyxes. No intentional defoliation this week but I’ve accidentally snapped a couple of fan leaves whilst watering. I really need a bigger tent! Would love opinions on when you all think they might be ready for the chop. Comparing to other diaries I still think I’ve probably got another 6+ weeks but I’m daring to think about how/where I’m going to dry them out. I’m pretty sure purple skunk will be ready first so drying in the tent will be a no go.

Deep Forrest auto is growing great. She is producing more pistils, and starting to stretch. I have been switching her feed to the blooming nutrition. She has been growing really strong. Everything is ready to go for another week.

week intel: we reached the peak of flowering stage and need to cause a little more e.c stress from this week so e.c stress is twice a week i reduced the amount of Nitrogen and calcium and stopped feeding silicate in other hand i raised the amount of base nutrient and booster short story version: more K & P - less N stresses : a little E.C stress around 1.6 and 1.7 twice a week from this week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with base nutrients(calcium & micros (half dose) + Bloom) about 822 ppm - 1.6 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 525 ppm - 1 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them high dose of Feeding Booster around 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause e.c stress again guide of the week : from this week we can cause more E.C stresses. e.c stress if done correctly is one of the very few ways to increase quality in all aspects ( color , aroma , taste , bud structure , resin contents ) but if you over do it , listen carefully brother : it can reduce quality in every aspect so always look for signs and never reach the red line.

Hello mate growers 👨‍🌾🌲, All was fine this week, Humidity continu to down a bit, in this end week we are 50%, weather are hot, so 27*C average day and 22*C night. Buds continue to be more fat ❤️🌲👨‍🌾, I think harvest will be in 2 weeks around, plants start to drink less water, that's one of maturity sign. So I'll give nutrients again one week, after I'll start my flush. This week I've given Water + pk 13-14 Water + rqs bloom tabs + sugar royal Water only PH@6 Have a good week my friends ❤️❤️👨‍🌾🌲

week intel: its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Following RQS auto guide : https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-how-to-grow-autoflowering-cannabis-n83 WEEK 1: GERMINATION AND EARLY SEEDLING STAGE #1 15.3. - #7 21.3. 13.3. 23.30 Three pots has growth above, so will now start writing things for 1week. And still waiting for the purplematic to catch up :) -Added 1 more timelapse camera -Removed rest of the wraps -Added new potmarkers for better visibility in new "basecam" -Noticed water buildup behind coal filter added styrofoam pieces behind it to move it away from walls -Started the exhaus fan -Outside temp is now +2'c which is 'bout 17c degrees warmer then week ago, so everything is timing out just nice. -Again roamed around the tent so much that i accidentally seem to have moved my temp monitor so now the camera cant pick up its readins have to go move it a bit tomorrow, (moved, pic updated) also tought about getting a netatmo for remote readings But ended up ordering the basic 3-1 meter (the green knob version that has light, hum, ph on switch) 14.3. Added 1st timelapse "test" video, can see the growth of 2nd leaf pair. (updated) -Also ordered some "BioBizz Bio-Grow" nutes for growperiod -For now will only add some basic info without exact metrics and just 1 pic from the "skycam" and one from the "basecam" 15.3. Updated pics and test video to have one more day in it. Will water (watered 11th or 12.3. 1½liters each) and updated info 16.3 at some point 16.3. Added a longer timelapse vid from base cam about "Dancing seedlings" (The one in the left down corner is not visible in "basecam" yet.) All 4 out of 4 have now germinated and grown above ground. Added 1ltr of water around the plants, so about 2dl / pot. Nutes i've thrown in raw few days ago few splashes here and there aroudn the soil. The bio-grow order arrived, will be adding that around thursday. Also decided to change the week rhytm so that a week always starts on monday and ends on sunday, so i can be more clear on what week or which day of a current week is going on. (so even thou its now "4th" day of this week, im counting it as a 2nd day as its tuesday) 18.3. Mixed about 2ml of biobizz grow to a 1,5liter of water, stirred and tossed at the plants, keeping up with current reported watering amount (about 2,5dl/every2nd day) Checked the lux, moist,ph with the 3in1 meter. Luxes were about 200, will throw in my other ESL in the tent also, maybe during weekend. That should also heat the tent up a bit for better temps. PH 7+, i think, if i read the meter correctly or use it correctly, so ordered bottles of Canna PH- grow and Canna PH- bloom. Moist was 5/10-7/10 so "moist"-level between dry and wet Moved the basecam around and 2 plants (obviously with soil etc) so all 4 are more visible in the timelapse (uploaded newest timelapse) Also hoping for the winter to pass on already so i get higher temps and better grow, plants seem to be taking a bit longer to grow at these sub20 temps. Well it should warmp up in a 1-2weeks. Currently night temp outside -6'c. Would like it to go up a 10-15degrees. Dont want to turn off the exhaust to warm up either. Will see if the additional lamp helps, cant remember if it was 100,120,150w ESL or so. (edit: checked, was 65w, will wire it now 20.3) 20.3. Watered the plants with nutes and updated the nute amounts, about 1,5liters divided in 4pots, so about 3,5dl each, then again the pots are "huge" so... Still the growth for the roots and above ground is very slow and possibly because the temps are so low, it should start to go above +'c degrees again starting 22.3. so next week. Hopefully will wire up the 65ESL today, and maybe install tomorrow then, that should give a little temp boost, i would also have a 200w heater i could add in the tent, but not surr if i will... Will update the timelapse tomorrow after 2nd ESL install. 21.3. Added the 65watt ESL lamp (blue) and put it closest to solomatic which is least grown so far Added timer to exhaus fan so now its 50% off and 50% on, to raise temperatures, immeadiate effect was about +3degrees after lamp and fan adjstm. So now temp inside tent (above plants and exhaust point) is 25,8+'c Updated timelapse video to lastest and while inspecting it ->OMG the other purplematic seed can also be seen dancing up, just under the 3-1 meter, thought one of them wouldn't make it, but there she is. So now there is 5 plants , will see if i'll keep both purples' depens how they fit in the same space, would be intresting thou. Also as i always talk about weather outside... now between +3'c and +5'c so hopefully we stay in this and go just upwards, so the air gets more moist and warmer also inside the tent 21.3. 8hours after exhaust fan 50% and 65w more CFL, the tent is now at up to 26,1'c which is so far the highest, so will keep it like this for a while, now have to see what to do with lux and moist, ordered moist meter i can just leave there and will be visible in the cam. Also ordered a lux meter, im sure there is more lux then the 300 the 3in1 meter showd, 'cause with my telephone i got 2300lux of the same LED which i have 2 in the tent, (using one in house for other plants) 21.3. 23.xx Just noticed this was the last day of the first week, wouldn't even notice the growth without the daily check of the timelapse :) that really helps out. Hottest tent temp been that 26 and now "night temp" at 24. So this is way better than that 10degrees less ;) I'll update with new "proper" pictures the start of new week and open it up "tomorrow"(maybe).

Day 33 from Seed: In general these ladies have just got on with it this week while I worried about some of the other girls. Their training has been a breeze so far and they have been made more pliable by the silica. I have now stopped using the Mega crop in the Los soil now the pot is making it's own nutes but I will keep my eye on them for any paling and need to re feed with the Mc. The coco girls are on 1g/L to see how they settle into that now. #1is doing brilliantly and her size indicates she will be a great yielder. She is quick to turn her heads back up once pinned so I will need a fast hand to keep up. #2 The runt of the whole pack. I dont know why she is so small besides some evidence of def on her initial growing leaves. Her new growth looks a lot better but I think she will need less strength feed than the others. Her structure looks good but she is very small I general compared. #3 was my expected star of the grow room but is now not in the front row anymore. She is perfect and growing great. training has been easy with her and her sites are plentiful too. I think she will be the biggest of the Smoothies. I am very happy with their progress so far . great work Fast buds.

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and not much to say except I can’t wait to chop her. Just waiting until the trichs are right. Watered her with sledgehammer yesterday and waiting for her to dry out completely before chopping, I’m hoping it’ll be this weekend sometime. Day 72 - She’s still not ready for a chop yet, opened up the tent and looks like a bunch of pistils showed up so just gonna continue to let her go and she’ll tell me when she’s ready. Day 73 - Nothing new to update, just letting her go and she’s still not ready for a chop yet. Day 74 - Still not ready for a chop yet, hoping sometime this week cause she’s smelling amazing and really wanna try her out. Still a few clear trichs in the and not many amber yet.

se acerca la ultimas semanas, esta semana se dejo de aplicar fertilizante con nitrogeno. se ve una translocacion sana hasta el momento. se espera que en las proximas semanas incremente el nivel de tricomas. Queda poco!!! Pd: pido disculpas a aquellos que siguen de cerca este diario, no pude actualizar a tiempo en las ultimas semanas, espero poder actuaizar de forma oportuna las ultimas semanas.

Here we are again! Flower Switch happened on Day 37, so in the middle of week 6, but for simplicity, i will condense the last Days of Veg into this here week 6. So a few days are missing from the final week count as i want to keep flowering weeks seperated from weg. Just keep in mind that she's about 3 days older then the week here would suggest. Its the end of the first flowering week and we can already spot lots of pistils, and the tops are getting ready to bud up! I defoliated her once before the flip and once on Day 43 because im scissor happy. Also, she was getting REALLY bushy, as you can see on the timelapse. Feeding is still the same 6L, around 6.0 PH, 5ml/L Grow and 1ml/L powerrots, will keep that going as long as shes stretching, then ill switch to flower nutes. Happens now every 3 days, though i suspect that it might be every 2 days soon, she is getting hungry. Pot is already somewhat light again and i watered her yesterday at the time of writing 😱😮

These girls are growing fast! They grew 8 inches this week, and the light got turned up to 6. While applying LST, I broke the two top branches of one of the smaller plants. I fixed it with masking tape.

Day 45-52 (Day 46) I just realized I forgot to zip up a small flap in the tent for at least 5 days or so. This probably made the added co2 useless. All the plants are slightly clawing and almost look overwatered, which is normal for plant at this stage but I wonder if the lower co2 levels are contributing at all. I couldn’t help myself today and did a small defoliation. Hopefully this doesn’t stress them out too much. I took about 15-20 leaves per plant. I really want some of this larf on the bottom fill out more. Even by 10-15%. (Day 47) Wow. I just noticed that #5 is putting on a thick layer of late frost. I’m guessing this has to do with all the mid flower feedings. Unfortunately the density on this girl lacking big time. Especially on the lowers. This could be genetic but there is too many variables at play to say for sure. If this stuff smokes proper I will continue to feed in mid flower. Plants are really starting to fade out here now. #3 in particular has some odd red coloring in a few of the leaves. (Day 48) I watered in 2 gallons on each plant making sure to get some decent runoff from each. Sucks that #3 didn’t fill out. The genetic potential was definitely there, something just went awry after that tea I gave it. I have at least 2 or 3 clones of that I will try outdoors. It’s been a very P hungry plant too. The stems were purpling like crazy, even in veg. Some people say this can be fixed with a microbial product like Mammoth P or Tribus which I might try for my next grow. #6 isn’t really filling out much either unfortunately. Tops look decent but everything under that is pretty leafy and airy. #1 and #7 are the clear winners here. #1 especially is picture perfect. If I wasn’t working on another project after this I would clone just #1 and run another scrog like this from clone. (Day 50) I was plucking some leaves today and I found a confirmed banana sticking out of one of the main colas on the stubby pheno. I didn’t defoliate this one too much so I wonder if it was caused by stress at all. I hope I don’t find anymore because we only have 10 days left here. (Day 52) My family member trimmed up the m39. It looks super scraggly but has some decent crystal nonetheless. That’s partly why I would never use an amazon blurple for flowering. It just doesn’t have the same canopy penetration that a light like mine does. Although for a budget setup they’re pretty awesome.

Song of the week : Lupe Fiasco - Bitch Bad ------- Day 37 - Today is the transplant day 😁 so I transplant the topped one to a 9.5L pot with a light mix from the local garden store , the soik npk is 4-4-4 so as she will eat it quick I add an extra feeding with one tea spoon of Mr.B's Green trees Grow ( npk 2-8-6 ) mixed with the soil and decided to name that plant Mr.B's as she's gonna be feed by this brand 😁✌️ I also give her 1L of water. The roots system is quite developed. ------- Day 38 - I did exactly the same thing as yesterday but with the 2 others Blue Dream, also the same feeding but one will be feed with Greenhouse Hybrids Powder and the other one with MegaCrop from Green leaf nutrients 😁👍

Buds have Been fattening up and making shape with the pistols sill stretching with slight change in colour for some of the pistols and are able to see the trichomes start to spread out and starting to get more frosty and the side branches are stretching out and stem thickness is also coming along nice nugs are quite sticky and the terpy smell has become more noticeable and I’m doing some light trimming to leaves covering lower bud sites for better light ab

Victory over the moth larvae. Removed them with pipe cleaners. Still spraying Monterey BT. No new larvae holes. Reinforced several plants with velcro tape. The flowers are becoming heavy. The scent is overpowering. Sugar Cane is extraordinarily heavy and the flowers have not yet begun to swell. Gorilla Glue 4 is heavy and the branches have started to bend outward from the weight. All three were reinforced. Garlic Z is not a large plant and the buds are behind all the rest in progress but the flowers are close and compact.

So cant explain much about dogma nutrients as everything is in grams not ML 🤣 But it is highly recommended, had no issues of nut burn with it and plants seems to enjoy organic grows
