Day 49-56 (June 18th - 25th)
(Day 51) Slurricanes and tuna are doing excellent despite their hail damaged leaves. I’m seeing good growth and decent dry downs. One of them looks like it’s been ravaged by pests but I still can’t find any evidence or signs of a pest. I’m suspecting caterpillars so I’m going to grab some BTK killer and also some all purpose insecticide sometime this week if I have time.
The clones are all really lagging so they won’t be flipped until July 15th at least. I’m still not seeing normal growth on any of them yet. It’s still quite gnarled and twisted.
(Day 52) The slurricane and tuna roots are starting to poke through the bottom of my pots. This is usually from underwatering, a thick soil or a hot root zone. I’m going to give everything except for the autos a good watering with some runoff. I am going to start incorporating 5mm sand into all of my soil mixes to help make the soil more loamy and give it some better drainage. I will also top dress every container and bed plant I have.
(Day 53) I was at a local department store today and I was shocked to see pallets of Destiny dark matter soil selling for 60% off! I bought 10 bags for a hundred bucks. At any hydro store that would have costed me 250 at least. I might go grab more because it looks like no one is buying it for 60% off even.
(Day 54) I’m going to be harvesting both of my indoor crops today and tomorrow or the next day I am going to be reusing the soil-coco blend for the slurricanes. I’m first going to till it, add a gallon of sea compost, a gallon of Destiny soil and a few cups of 5mm sand per container. I will use the excess for 5 gal pots.
I will be amending with:
5 tablespoons of nature’s pride bloom
4 tablespoons of kelp meal
2 tablespoons of Gaia green AP
2 tablespoons of glacial rock dust
2 tablespoons of oyster shell flour
2 tablespoons of alfalfa meal
1 tablespoon of rock dust blend
1/4 teaspoon of langbeinite
(Day 56) The autos are really making a comeback now. I was under the impression that I was working against the clock and they would start flowering after 3-5 weeks. I guess if they’re stunted from the cold they will delay flowering. I don’t see any pistils or signs of flowering yet so I don’t think they’ve officially started flowering yet
I didn’t get a chance to do my transplant this week or pest control. I will get to it ASAP because my photos are drinking almost a liter a day

Indica/Sativa Hybrid. Chitrali #1 (IBL) x Skunk no.1. Tall growing kush with a high yield. Lemon zest aroma with a sweet kush flavor.
Lemon Cream Kush was cloned straight from original Chitrali #1 seeds, which we got from Pakistan (Hindu Kush valley) and stabilized using one of our proven Skunk #1 fathers. By extensively selecting and backcrossing the Chitral we have formed a very stable strain; stress proof and with only a few phenos.
Our Lemon Cream Kush is an Indica/sativa hybrid with rock hard nugs and massive resin production. She has been long time favoured strain in Holland.
Lemon Cream Kush is taller in stature and stretches a lot during flowering. She gives long dense kush buds. She is ideal for SCROG and very well suited for growing in more moderate climates, Indoor flowering takes 8-10 weeks, outdoors she is ready for harvest in October.
Her smell is lemon with a piney twist. Delicious tasting bud with a sativa euphoric high and a mild bodystoned effect. There is no raciness or paranoia whatsoever, making her ideal for daytime medication against chronic pain and stress.

This is just a beautiful strain to grow. The leaves have a rich dark green appearance and the shape is a mix of fatter indica leaves and longer sativa leaves. It's tendency is a fairly manageable and predictable grow/stretch and it responds well to training and powerful lights. The leaves on one of them changed colour at the end of flush and went yellow with some purples and pinks but the buds themselves have almost a silver glow to them. The pistils come out in early flower in a very strong, spikey and symmetrical way that amplifies the cool glow given off by the trichomes. With the rich, dark, beautiful leaves, the whole appearance is really beautiful and otherworldly. One of the Wedding Cake plants self-pollenated and there are some seeds in the CBD Blue Shark, but they're few and far between. It's not a disaster like the Wedding Cake. Honestly I can't say enough good things about this strain. The plants were hardy, easy to work with and forgiving of mistakes and experiments. The flowers looked amazing through every stage of development, and the finished product smells great, tastes great, looks great, and makes you feel great. This is my favourite strain to grow so far.

Garage grow SoCal
This week the girls had a hot week in the garage averaging 88°. We started filling out, got more mature, and started showing colors.
We’re running just under 1000ppm with no issues. I’m having reservoir funk issues so I’m switching to jacks RO this week. .8g a day.
This weeks accomplishments:
Split electric load (safety)
This week:
Switch nutes upgrade reservoir and lines next week.
Long term issues
It’s hot. Straight 90s this week. So the same - Cooling and VPD targets during heat waves
Preventing pest and mold issues during high humidity conditions.
I hope you all are having as much fun as I am.
Best of luck gromies.
Check out my black cherry gelato grow.
Just posted my outdoor light dep grow - side by side with my indoor grow- same clone batch. This should be a great comparison of indoor versus outdoor grows side by side 👍

I changed my entire electrical installation which was starting to date.
-I installed a 600w dimmable electronic ballast (+ 10% so 660w possible)
-One pia Son-t-Pia greenpower 600W
-An umbrella reflector, great reflector which lowers my heat in the box and efficiently distributes the heat of the Son-t-Pia on the sides.
here
Michka is really great.
J'ai changé toute mon installation électrique qui commençait à dater.
J'ai installé un ballast électronique dimmable 600w (+10% donc 660w possible )
Une ampoule pia Son-t-Pia greenpower 600W
Un reflecteur parapluie, formidable reflecteur qui à fait baisser ma chaleur dans la box et répartit efficacement la chaleur de l'ampoule sur les côtés.
Voilà
Michka est formidable vraiment.

What can I say in the end except that I am very happy that everything went well again and now I am enjoying the wonderful smoke of Cookies Gelato.
Here is a quick overview of this cycle.
21/06/2022 - planting
14/09/2022 - harvest
3 weeks of vegetation
8 weeks of flowering
15 days of drying
60 years. total yield
1 Cookies Gelato Auto plant
After harvesting, the plant was dried for 15 days, after which I trimmed the flowers and put them in jars to ripen.
I think I've stated almost everything I had in mind. If anyone has any questions, feel free to write.
I have to admit that the grow diaries community is not that active anymore and I'm sorry that it has come to that. I hope that the right things will come into focus again so that the community can grow and not compete.
Thank you all for your support.

Alles lief gut mit der Shaman bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt in der Blüte. Leider beginnt sich an einigen kleinen Stellen etwas Schimmel auszubilden, gar nicht in den Blüten, sondern an den Trieben. Das war mein eigener Fehler, da ich beim Entblättern einige Blätter letzte Woche nicht nach oben ziehend abgezwickt habe, sondern nach unten zur Erde hin gerichtet abgerissen habe. Dadurch habe ich an einigen Stellen das Gewebe am Trieb verletzt, wodurch sich dort Schimmel bilden kann und tut. Ich hoffe es wird sich in Grenzen halten. Es ist jedoch möglich, dass ich durch diesen Fehler zumindest einen der Haupttriebe verlieren kann. Wieder was gelernt.
Gibt es irgendwelche Mittel, den Schimmel an den Trieben zu entfernen?Ansonsten bildet sie weiter ihre Buds aus, riecht schon sehr angenehm und entwickelt sich weiter.
Es gab ein paar starke Winde und Böen in dieser Woche, dehalb wurde die Shaman vorsichtshalber gegen die Windrichtung angebunden, damit der Topf nicht kippt.
Vielen Dank für euren Besuch und passt bei der Entlaubung auf...😫---
Everything was going well with the Shaman until now during flowering. Unfortunately, some mold is starting to form in a few small areas, not on the flowers themselves, but on the shoots. This was my own fault, as I didn't pull some leaves upwards when defoliating last week, but tore them off downwards towards the ground. This damaged the tissue on the shoot in some places, allowing mold to form and grow there. I hope it will be limited. However, it is possible that I may lose at least one of the main shoots as a result of this mistake. Another lesson learned.
Is there any way to remove the mold from the shoots?
Otherwise, it continues to form buds, smells very pleasant, and continues to develop.
There were a few strong winds and gusts this week, so as a precaution, the Shaman was tied against the wind direction to prevent the pot from tipping over.
Thank you very much for visiting, and be careful when defoliating...😫

First week went without any major issues. Plants been growing fine and you can see there is 4 steams on this plant that are growing a bit taller then the rest. The SE-3000 is running at 100% rite now and with the PPM set too 1000 for the Co2 it's getting lots of light and growth.
Temperature and humidity have been stable for the most part. Was having g issues with my dehumidifier tho for a few days. I believe it was over heating a bit and was auto shutting off. So the my humidity would spike up to 75-80% but luckily it was during lights off and I was home when it happened. After moving a few things around and turning it off for a hour it seems to have corrected itself. Good caz I don't really want to have to buy a new one yet lol.
For my nutrients I'm slowly bring it up. By the end of week 2 I should have it closer to 1000 ppm. I also stopped using airstones in my tank because I was having a few issues. Now I'm just using a water pump on a timer. Turns off when lights turn on and the back on a hour before the turn off.
I've got most of my fans now running at 100%. Only ones that are still only running at 50% are my two lower section fans. With them set to that I find the temperature and humidity at all 4 corners of the room are close enough that I should have zero issues.
Well that's all for now so keep growing everyone!!!

FINAL WEEK! 14!!!! Lets go!
I will start off by saying I am totally blown away with these plants! Not only did they grow way taller than expected, they performed very well considering my goof ups. The photos posted are the final stage of these plants, week 14.
ILGM has really awesome genetics with these White Widow Autos. Each plant may have grown very differently but I predict they will all have high yields! They flourished using 100% dry organics but it would be interesting to see how they do using bottled nutrients or even synthetic.
This will be my last flowering post before harvest details. All 5 plants were chopped on 5/6. I lightly wet trimmed and hung them all to dry in 50-55% RH back into the original tent. For final wet and dry weights I will post that all in my final harvest. Drying time may take 7 or more days. The final yield may surprise you!
Stay tuned!
Happy growing 😊

So I had absolutely no ill effect on the plants at at all moving from the green buzz veg feed too the house & garden soil a&b feeds,
I did not even given them a water only inbetween the two,
I also went straight in with 50% the recommended dose stated on the house & Gardens bottles this switched happened the day before week 5 none showed any signed of defects or deficiency intact they exploded into life over night and then every day after that, I have been using the green buzz fast buds as a folar spry appied too the leaves of the early flower formation after lights out,
They seemed too love that too and I also kept the note roots going in,
I also started too apply C-RESULT at the fullbl dose stated on the bottle,
The plants live this stuff if you have not tried it do it,
I am not sponcered by c-result I was given this by my local grow store,
It brings all the nutrients straight too the roots it states,
All I know is this stuff triggers the plants too suck the pots dry in 24 hours,
So make sure you have your feed bucket fully in order before adding this stuff as a mistake here could cost you,
But get it right and in 24 hours these little autos doubled in size,
It states too used week one of flower only and smells like a sewer lol
I have today day one of week 6
Started too add house & garden
Bud XL at half strength too increase next week and also I added there top shooter at 1ml per liter of water as 7 as I plan too removed all chemicals exactly as of day 1 of week 7 leaving me week 9 clean, I did not top any of these girls, I am training all the shooting tips too my scrog netting the best I can due too very limited space in the grow space,
And am praying for some of the promised purple leaves on the fast buds Web site,
I has on lemon pie this round that is 2 weeks behind the rest due too non germination but I am wondering if a staggered planting each plant exactly one week behind each other would give me a little more canapé space and the treat of harvesting a plant every week,
Using the skyline 1000 only
I did not too any of these autos
2 x strawberry cheese cake
2 x lemon pie
4 x fyah
Sounds like a plan too me,
Thanks for reading

Well some information needs to be updated! But in the mean time I’ll leave this here to indicate false heights, temps and nutes are entered, basically copied from last upload.
Anyways my dumbass didn’t have all my branches supported properly. So probably back on the night of 140 we had a violent wind storm. I got back on day 142 to make repairs and wash off the plants.

Thanks to growdiaries I followed the entire growing stages of the plant seeing all the little details usually not seen. Sincerly I expected more than 30g with the nutriens and light utilised anyway it is a good result.

Very happy overall, had some difficulties hitting the sweet spot through the cycle but managed to pull it through brilliantly at the end.
This is definitely a very deserty and cookie like strain. Oven baked freshness!
