Temperature and measurements listed in grow conditions are averaged for the week. The listed pH is the soil pH. Nutrients listed in nutrients section are ml/per gallon of soil. Day 1 we had rain showers in the morning and throughout the day. They showed first sign of flower. Day 2 we had rain in the morning, drizzle and showers in the afternoon. The ferrous sulfate reduced the soil pH from just above 7 to just below. I added 10ml blood meal and 10ml ferrous sulfate top dressed to each pot. The nitrogen should boost the stretch during early flower. The additional ferrous sulfate should keep the pH in the 6.5-7 range and help with chlorosis during early flower. Day 3 we had more rain, drizzle, and mist all day. The soil pH is coming down slowly. It's 6.9 on day 3. Day 4 it rained all morning. The pots are soaked. Day 5 we missed the scattered showers but it was 80-90% humidity all day. We did have lots of sunshine Day 6 we had lots of sunshine and temperatures above 80°F. Day 7 we had sunny skies. Temperature was in the mid 80'sF. I had to water about .5 gallons directly from the hose. 7.6 pH and 50°F Both plants doubled in height. There's still a small excess of phosphorous in the soil. The plants will grow into the phosphorus during flower. Overall a successful week.

07/07/2025, beginning of week 8, a few issues have reared their head, done as many checks as I can on conditions and soil conditions and have come to the conclusion that I need to carry on sensibly feeding as these issues were probably present weeks ago but just not showing until now. Bud development seems ok and they are lengthening/stacking ok, she's becoming more and more frosty and starting to smell a bit, I think she will carry on lengthening this week before starting to flatten up from next week and will feed a accordingly. Fingers crossed it doesn't fall apart haha.

19.1.25: I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g. I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes. It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements. I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients. Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;- ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag ♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max ♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements. I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄 I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation. The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double. I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest. I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too. I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle. 24.1.25: I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix. This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments: ♡ 60% Canna coco ♡ 20% Worm castings ♡ 15 % Perlite The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;- ♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys ♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano ♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth ♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon ♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster. ♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle. •Worm castings for some all round nutrition. •Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent. •Canna coco base substrate. •Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system. •Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds. •Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom. •RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes. •Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits. •Diatomaceous earth for Silica. •Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

We are at the end of fruiting and they are getting ripped! Beautiful sweet creamy smell mixed with a green sour. I believe at least from the smell pound cake will be one of my favourites, but let's wait for the smoke test. Nothing major to report, all the blumat issues where fixed and also the nutrient deficiencies. I'll not be adding anything else other than water until they finish. Just had the final defoliation to improve air circulation because they are so small that the branches overlapped a lot.my next auto's I'll just let them grow naturally because, from what I've seen and read I think I trained too much and that will impact production in a bad way. The poundC#1 really became delayed because of the dey period that it has gone through and now I'm hopping that I can manage to harvest at the same time without major losses because I have to dry on the same tent for now. It is the only place than I can maintain the ideal conditions.

Ciao a tutti questa settimana speriamo vada meglio della scorsa perché su due piante si sono formate delle bruciature nelle foglie dovute al troppo fertilizzante probabilmente 2ml/l di big Bud è stato troppo per una pianta 88% sativa !!! I fiori vi sembra che si stiano ingrossando correttamente ? Visto che adesso bagno con solo acqua e con degli anti stress (Rhino skin) per farle riprendere Ho aggiunto oltre hai 400w hps 3x45w led

SEMANA 2 - DÍA 8 Tengo experiencia con la gama PURE AUTO de la casa, por lo que puedo afirmar que en todas las tandas que hago, alguna sufre malformación genética, y eso influye en el proceso. En esta ocasión, le agregue al sustrato un 50% de coco y estoy regando como de costumbre, con lo mínimo (50ml), a ver si soy capaz de estirar la planta a 1 metro. De momento es todo, nos vemos en la próxima. Saludos y felices humos.

Not a lot of growth, it's just too cold in Blighty at the moment. Added some foam insulation under the pot and placed a heat mat under the insulation to avoid direct contact with the pot. Time will tell!

Day 50 Flowering: Hi growmies. A great week again with these gems. They are all now in their final stage of flowering and I expect them to swell a little more and also to begin the ripening of the trichromes to all cloudy with a few amber ones. They are all doing really well and look to be fed as they need and also no signs of any deficiency. I do kot flush as I am in Living organic soil/coco and also do not use salt based nutes throughout the grow to need to wash from the medium. I also do not believe that flushing has any benefit besides error correction or to reset the medium again. With a slow dry , they use all the harsh chlorophyll that is mistaken for nutrient traces often in quicker drying methods. Herz Og by her standard growing cycle , should be finishing now but I think she can be easily pushed another week or so. Her smell is really sweet now up close with a nice tacky feel to her too. She isnt a big plant but is really well laid out for those pollen transporters to sand the wind to get through . Strawberry Colais am absolute trichrome monster. She is really packing the trichs onto her budstacks and sugar leaves tonwjere they don't look real close up. The camera focuses and tries again to refocus when I take pics of her .lol Certainly knew of the heaviest trichrome producers I have grown to date... I can see hownthe cola name is relevant too with how "fizzy" they appear . She smells candy sweet and very nice . Monster Mash looks alone and like the lanky girl at school who tries to look smaller. lol Her buds are fairly spaced out on the long stems and look more clumpy than joined up. I had to bend the main one over to allow the lights to be kept even for the other plants but she is getting more light to the lower portion now. Her buds are not very fat or chunky yet but i am hoping this week and the shogun Dragon force will help change that. Smell wise shebjas a fuel/sweet aroma to her which is familiar. lets see how she finishes now. So it seems that this last few weeks will sort the wheat from the chaff with a yield report soon. These strains have been very simple and easy to grow and manage with very little effort on my part. If your up for a grow with an auto , definitely consider these genetics from Exotic seeds , my experience so far has been all positive and their end results are top shelf buds and taste. Great work Exotic breeders and staff alike. Roll on another week and diary report. be safe and well folks.

Well here we are with the most happiest part of growing marijuana is harvest time!!!! Good Evening Ladies and Gents, as most of you have followed ots been a pretty damn good year for cannabis growers and myself, well I seen to think so lol. In my diary I have shown 1 plant of the Zsweet Insanity..... but truth be told I had 2 more in the grou nd somewhere else. Wait until you see the picks 👀 The strain is amazing! All three ended up about 4 feet Tolland about 4 feet wide. The massive collas were everywhere. You'll see in the pics above. It stinks sooooooo bad and is frosty AF! The Sweet taste of Lemon and deisel and a woody spice on the way out. Its clearly remarkable this strain! Check it out! The best part is I weight 3/4 of a pound dry 👀 Woooooooooooohooooooooooo!!!!! Hope you enjoyed the diary!!!! 🌱🔥🤤

2018-04-02. Week 3 day 1. It was time too upgrade the 0.1 liter pot too the 1 liter. Did the transplant today. They are a little bit overwatered but i will let them dry out now. This is the newest release from DinaFem seeds. And i will veg her under a Apollo 10 led and flower her in Growroom Nr2 under a 600 w Hps on a light mover. Its a organic grow and i will be using BioBizz nutrients. Strain information. Purple Moby Dick is a child of the legendary Jack Herer that was crossed with PAK. This is a sativa dominant hybrid that contains 60% sativa and 40% indica genetics. The THC content reaches 21% and the smoking brings cerebral effects. This potent plant develops a big structure with lots of branches and can grow up to 3m tall. The flowering period brings amazing purple hues and fruity aromas.

🌸 Flowering Week 7 — Frost Incoming! ❄️🔥 Short update this week — but the Queen is really starting to shine. Buds are swelling fast, stacking beautifully, and the first layer of frost is officially here. Trichomes are popping everywhere under the light ✨🌿 Aroma also kicked up a level… sweet, citrusy and loud every time I open the tent. She’s drinking well, holding strong, and no signs of stress at all. If she keeps building like this, the last few weeks are going to be crazy

*Week 4 Flower 09/24* Both Mimosa girls appear to be running fine with Mimosa (1) running a little behind but is catching up accordingly. Small oversight in early growth resulted in a minor stunt but she is improving dramatically. Water Feed has increased by half a gallon ( 1gallon clean - .5 gallon nute feed) *Week 4 Flower 09/28 - Mid week update* Both plants are flowering accordingly - Mimosa (1) is a bit taller then Mimosa (2) Buds are becoming dense and covered in trichomes. No deficiencies - No areas of concern - Potassium and Phosphate feeds continue *Week 5 Flower end of week recap - 09/30* Both Mimosa's are flowering nicely - Budsites covered in frosty trichomes. Mimosa (2) looks shorter but that is because her COLA was tied down to expose bottom budsites.

DAY 14 VEG. Hi growmies. I hope the green gods have been present in your grows this week. It has been a fairly good week for some of the girls this week but the tiny little Mexican airline had me convinced it would give in. Thankfully she hasn't and has now started to really begin growing with some healthy looking new growth pushing through in the last few days. Similar with the Strawberry Pie #2 and her toxic shocked look , she has got over the soils strength ow j think and begun to form normal leaves without the twist and darker colour ( clear sign of not liking something!) All of the plants have settled in fully now and the soil has started to work its magic hopefully. Trying to get the water cycle on point is the next task with it. I have been using 10L watering sessions to get it moist and will use a cheap soil probe to check the bottom for waterlogging . Next watering I will add the biosys tea again to support the soil life. The amendments should have all broken down nicely now so it is just watering from here in in hopefully. With ising 1 bed for 3 plants , I will be watching for the leaf green shade lightening , especially in flowering , and if needed use Megacrop as an additional feed. At this point it looks like the Strawberry Pie #1 and six Shooter #2 are leading the field but I get the feeling this light will help even that race quick sharp. I have now put it to 100% power as I do think these ladies will go for it this week now. No decision on the training yet but in will let their growth guide that one . Well thsts about it for this one as not too much happening yet. Enjoy the video and any comments more than welcome. Be safe and well Growmies. God bless. TIP SPREADING I am using a method I learnt about a while back called tip spreading. It is a very simple process but can be very helpful if trying to control height in minutes spaces. It can also help to lessen the gap lengths between nodes on leggy strains. It is by no means a guarantee that the tall sativas will become bonsai bushes by a long shot but it does help to shorten the gaps there too. It is done while the plants are in veg and as each new pair of leaves form on the grow tips , we gently open them out so that the new emerging below gets light to it . This will encourage it to grow out quicker than waiting until the previous node has gone through the slower process of opening naturally. We are essentially rushing their growth for them. They are very delicate at this stage so it is a gentle process that must be done with a lot of caution and a slow pace. Hopefully the video will help and the effects will be shown during the growth over the next few days/weeks. Be safe growmies.

Hi, topman! In this week, we are getting ready to last or pre-last defoliation in part of vegetation period. Also, we are use to Feeding by Green House Company. Watch and smile… ..see you.
