She is such a pleasure to grow, easy and not fussy. Added a handful of bat guano and worm casts for the last time. She is releasing a strong odora especially before lights off, she has a narcotic smell, skunky and afghani no vanilla so far.

Good Progress on the MilkyWay 22nd January Found a light base of white mold on top of my coco perlite mix. I scraped it all off from the plant medium, mixed 1tbs of baking soda with water then spritzed the top of the medium to raise ph of soil to avoid further mold growing, I also added cinnamon powder to the top of the medium (natural fungicide) will keep the journal updated 🤞 Garrison (The Milkyway plant) survives

The plant of course is much more smaller with the restricted root zone causing a bonsai effect. However, she performed really well under the circumstances with a relatively large yield all things considered. I usually smoke high CBD but was very impressed with this high. Let's see how it goes after spending more time under the influence. Review... Growing in the solo cup sized container proved to be much more challenging than a regular grow. The plant soon became stressed dealing with the tiny root zone making everything hyper sensitive. The first issue was showing as tip burn even though the ppm was kept in the 650-850 range. Then the leaves showed a general yellowing overall specially showing at the bottom fan leaves. At this point I was changing the nutrient solution every 2-3 days trying different nutrient brands and concentrations seemingly without much success. It was a nerve wracking period which ultimately lead me back to General Hydroponics with amendments. I did learn that the plant can weather the storm even with less than perfect vegetative leaves while she focuses all her energies into calyx production. It’s was upsetting to see less than stellar health but eventually all the leaves drop and the flowers power on seemingly without issue. The cascading diamond structure developed as a result of a couple broken branches that occurred during the training process in an effort broaden the plant profile with wider lateral spacing. Although initially upset when the fractured branches that withered after being bandaged up and . After removal of said branches it was exciting to see the new possibilities. The cascade formation called for additional side lighting to maintain uniform bud size all the way down the front lower end of the plant. I was looking to create a stadium like effect. The experience of operating the visual hydroponic unit called for a number of practical adjustments along the way. Although initially, very excited with the system concept as an integrated design with nutrient solution supply and gravity drain through the pump, with the air supply inside the pipe with the air bubbler acting as the drain/root filter... in hindsight, obviously, it would not work as the root mass became denser and denser. The first issue, as the path of least resistance, the air was forced back down the nutrient supply pipe. This prevented the pump from priming itself and subsequently no nutrient solution delivery was even possible. As a result, the original air stone was left in place to prevent the roots from entering the nutrient tank and a new bubbler stone simply added to the tank itself. Although the original idea was for the air to be continuously pumping directly through the roots, the flood and drain would actually be just as good when drawing the fresh air in and out with each pump/drain of nutrient solution. The ON cycle was initially set to 10 seconds which eventually became 30 seconds as the roots mass grew denser. This proved to be too unreliable as the fill level was no longer consistent which required constant monitoring to be sure that there was no flooding over and above the container lid. It which case, a simple feeder tube to the top of the root zone was the best option. The ON cycle was set to 5 seconds with a 15 minute OFF interval. Overall the biggest concern was the timer itself, which had several bad reviews for malfunctions with growers losing their plants. However, I have no choice as this was one of the few timers that was capable of cycling down to the second but it all workout fine in that regard… no problem. Was it a perfect grow?... no, definitely not. However, as a relative beginner, it was definitely a great learning experience. Mostly, I need to work on the nutrient blend and concentration. For more control, a backup tank with float valve delivery to maintain the water level for this particular system would be a good idea as well.

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making their way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying position all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 A little worried today her birth Twin the BA I am growing out is looking great and is raised towards the light and this one is just slightly under.. Will keep an eye on Her. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 Walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. Also looking at the roots and she has some poking out the bottom but just not in the water yet.. Luckily we are set for 14 days before next water change so the system will stay stable and her sister already has roots in the water so she should only be a day or two behind.. we will just keep tracking but she is delayed. Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Roots in the Water!!! Huston, we have a successful launch. This grow is on! Humidity was a little low this morning so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that the temp looks great, the PH looks good, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning from over filling the cloning machine seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started. Everything for growth and environment is looking good and on track, there are a couple of mutations with this Lady will keep an eye on those leaves. IMO this grow is going A lot during this week 1 then week 1 of the last grow when I had them drowning. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

2024-08-31 One more Week and she will be harvested too, this is around her 5th. week in Flower, and she buddes up very well, as long as it stays hot and dry she can stand, but if it starts to rain for days, iam going to cut her. BREEDERS INFO What exactly are the genetics in Auto Critical Orange Punch? Auto Critical Orange Punch is a feminized autoflowering seed variety, the first Dutch Passion auto to use Critical genetics. The genetic base was Grandaddy Purple (Purps) x Orange Bud. This was called Orange Punch, and gave great potency and flavor. But yields were below average until she was crossed with an elite XXL Auto Kritical Bilbo. Auto Critical Orange Punch is one of our strongest strains with abundant yields and white buds that are completely covered with a thick layer of resin and beautiful orange flower hairs. Auto Critical Orange Punch has thick compact buds that will provide a good yield in a relatively short period of time Auto Critical Orange Punch is the autoflower seed version of our photoperiod Critical Orange Punch. This stable hybrid cannabis plant has roughly the same Indica and Sativa genetic content and can be regarded as a 50/50 variety. In this autoflower version, ruderalis genes (autoflower genetics) have of course also been crossed to make this strain flower automatically. This results in slightly more phenotype differences between the different plants than in the photoperiod version. This strain can grow quite fast during the first 5-7 weeks of its life cycle. She grows strong branches that can bear long flowers. Blooms of 30-50 cm are no exception. She is classified as an XXL autoflower for all the right reasons! Her leaf structure is also that of a hybrid, she can grow very large fan leaves that convert a lot of light into energy. By the end of the flowering phase, the thickest branches with the heaviest flowers will need some support. By the 9th - 10th week, the buds will become so heavy that the branches can collapse under the weight.

January 16, 2019 Everything is moving along nicely now. Bud sites on the photos are building day by day, and the autos are just about done. This week I fed some Recharge and some Espoma Organic Bloom (available at most big box stores). I’ve had it kicking around since last season and figured I should use it up before it goes bad. I’m looking into more organic nutrient options for the future. I’m not sure I’m ready to start making my own organic compost teas yet. But BioBizz seems like they will take care of what I’m looking to accomplish without needing to make my own teas (fingers crossed). I removed the house plant that brought in the bugs and everything is back to normal now, no new bug damage. I finally received and read “True Living Organics” by The Rev. Its a good book, but growing the “TLO” way is vastly different from other growing methods I’ve read. I’m going to have to read this one again before making any comments. Thanks to all of the answers on CO2. Seems like its more valuable with larger setups than I’m running.

Eighth week of flowering started. I've changed the water into the pots. I will continue with the same nutrients ratio (more bloom and micro, less grow). The fan is turned three hours on, one off. Inkbird parameters are unchanged (20° -3° H +2°C). Plants are healthy, bushy and tall. Light power @ 100%. Extractor @ 100%. D49: changed the water into the pots. Added 15 ml grow, 30ml micro and 40ml bloom. pH@6 EC 1.2 D52: plants are drinking and growing a lot, today I've added 3 liters of water to each pot. The #1 reached the maximum height I can manage with my little tent, I cannot raise the light any more than this. D55: the plants grown a lot reaching the top of the tent. Lesson learnt: only one plant in hydroponics for this tent

Another beautiful black cherry punch 🍒 👊 exact same aroma, very sweet and fruity like strawberries amd cherries 🍒 🍓, the nuggets are sticky full of very terpy resin. Just a pleasure to work with her. Can't wait to smoke her.

Die Blue Dream hat sich zu einem wahren Monster entwickelt. Der Sativa Einschlag drückt richtig durch, so langsam hört der Stretch aber auf. Die Blütenansätze und Stigman sind richtig dick und breit, was ich zuvor bei noch keiner Sorte so stark wahrgenommen habe. Die Interniodenabstände verkürzen sich nach oben nun wieder etwas. Der Geruch ist bisher eher erdig, würzig, hazeig. Ich bin sehr gespannt wie die weitere Entwicklung verläuft.

#Crop King Seeds Planting 3 Seeds Using 2 Different Techniques to germinate the Seeds - The First 2 Seeds were germinated (Jul 2nd) using the water / paper towel technique * The seeds were dropped in a half glass of bottled water (It stayed afloat) and kept in a closed dark area. * After 12 Hours the 2 seeds were pushed down to reach the bottom of the glass using my finger. * After 24 hours the 2 seeds were transferred / Now using the paper towel method to complete the germination - The last seed was germinated (Jul 3) using just the paper towel method * This method took longer to break the seed surface. On Jul 6 Decided to transfer all 3 seedlings into the Aerogarden. * Seed G1 had about 5cm roots. Some flowers already sprouting * Seed G2 had about 3 cm roots. Still had seed top. * Seed G3 had only just cracked . No length
