Had to add another plant to the mix 😂
So nice to have a shop near me that sell quality seeds and closed breeder packs
Even went and got her a new big red bag to go with her....devilish tendencies
So I went full boosted germination for this one
24 hours soak
Peat Pellet infused with RootIT First Feed (self add)
Warm Light to get some energy into the soil and seed
Aaaaaaannnnddd voila, a strong ass seedling
Sadly stopping them from stretching a lot still eludes me...
I topped up the soil to help support the plant during stretch - I have learnt now to always give yourself some stretching space to add more delicious soil
Anyway, germinated and growing and that is all we can ask for in the first few days
Devilish is growing very nicely and is enjoying every second of the day
She stretched a bit as you can I made a cone of soil around her 😁 but she seems to have settled now and is growing wider
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💦Water and Nutes💦
Small amounts of water and even smaller amounts of nutes
Taking it very easy with this girl, really making sure I go underboard instead of over
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🌞🌩️Weather🌩️🌞
It has been a bit windier than I expect it this time of year
Our autumn is incredible weather wise for water sports, not too hot and usually almost no wind
Hoping it goes soon, so I can feel comfortable with small plants outside
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nothing noticeable yet

upwards and onwards
Aiii nothing to complain about, she is looking healthy AF!!! Look at those sweet ass green leaves
DAMN SHE IS FIIIINE
Running things on clockwork with her, small amount of nutes... Careful now lets not burn her out
I added a an indigenous carnivorous plant to the family
Meet Augusto, the Sundew - destroyer of fungus gnats and other pests (picture in gallery)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💦Water and Nutes💦
Still small amounts of water every other day, she is happy
Light nutes just to give her that extra....umpf!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🌞🌩️Weather🌩️🌞
Crises this wind just wont let up, early mornings and evenings is best but in between..... a bit wild for my liking
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🐛Pests🐛
Nothing noticeable yet
Also did not spray this week, she is happy and healthy... no need to disturb her peace
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ahhh the little devil!
How she is growing, sweet seeds said she grows big and I can see it happening..
So she got her hair cut this week, I topped her as I want to widen her out a bit and see what she can do 😅
She has already bounced back after one day and the side growth and new nodes responded
Augusto got a new home, he is catching food and has a friend!! I discovered there was a second plant kinda of hidden inside, VERY HAPPY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💦Water and Nutes💦
This plant has enough nutes in her for now, so i decided to make sure her legs were strong and growing
Added some Rootpro the same time I repotted my other plant and added for roots to be happy (zkittles diary)
Added some Silica for strength after Topping also
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🌞🌩️Weather🌩️🌞
A long cold front into what could be our first winter snow on the mountians
honestly lovely weather when the sun is out, if this damn wind would just stop
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🐛Pests🐛
No pests in sight, thankfully
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So not the best week I have had with my autos
I have now realised that my nutes are way too strong to use recommended dosages for all plants on marijuana, this may also explain some of my past issues in other grows
So even though it says i fed them 1ml/l this week... I will now be toning that down to maybe 0.5 or 0.25 per L
The Nitrogen is absolutely hammering my plants.... and im currently flushing my ass off.
(also patches on leaves in photos are from pest control)
But back to this plant
This devil did not get the nitrogen toxicity claw that bad and has grown out really nicely since I topped her
So not all bad, bounced back nicely and I can only see big growth from here on out
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💦Water and Nutes💦
Like I mentioned above I kinda fucked up with over nuting them - its hard without a solid schedule but I am learning
Pumped up watering a bit to 500ml odd per feed
Flushing seems to be doing the job, I hope I don't stunt this one too much
NOTE TO SELF: Dont take everyone's advice, a shop owner told me regulate my PH with nitric acid.... NEVER FUCKING AGAIN (switched to apple cider vinegar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🌞🌩️Weather🌩️🌞
A long cold front into what could be our first winter snow on the mountains
honestly lovely weather when the sun is out, if this damn wind would just stop (same as last week, no jokes)

THRIPS!!!! LITTLE BASTARDS
I noticed thrips on my one plant, so I decided to treat them
1) Bioneem folar spray
2) Ecobuzz PestPro (a few days later)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💪Training💪
So I topped this plant just over a week ago, will start LST this week soon as the new growth pushes out a bit more for my bendies to be attached
Devilishesssss
Ah this one is just trotting on looking at the other plants like..... WHY YOU TRIPPIN DAWG
Especially the rando autoflower next her is just standing up straight as to not be gazed down on with devilish intent - (the rando autoflower next to her is either a banana blaze or bluedream... left marking on seeds holder 😕)
jokes aside she is all good and happy and growing steadily, topping has turned out quite nice and im bending her this way and to give her good light all the way through
She is probably the most normal out of all the crazy girls around her, kinda just sitting on her red throne giggling
Slight Nitrogen toxicity but she shrugged it off quite quickly
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💦Water and Nutes💦
Slight increase in water
Nutes toned down hard, flushed for a day or two and back at it again
Wife says she is going to solve my issues with a gift, so lets see 🙏
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🌞🌩️Weather🌩️🌞
Cold fronts have passed, wind is getting less and less as winter sets in
Happy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🐛Pests🐛
Thrips did not survive the Neem, Ecobuzz double tap
Honestly its like a shotgun for pests😅
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💪Training💪
Training her with bendies where ever I get the chance 😂 good fun
Hmmm this plant is confusing me a little
She is supposed to get really big, I wonder If i caused a hiccup somewhere that has stunted her a bit.... or she is going to explode in size when she flowers.
Not sure but looking after her as best I can at the moment
Not 100% how she is going to turn out...but lets see
She does have a lucky leaf though....me thinks I may have caused that from doing something wrong
💎MY WIFE BOUGHT ME SOME NEW NUTRIENTS!!! WHAT A GEM 💎
She hooked me up with some Biobizz, so this is new ground to me but the plants seem to be loving them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💦Water and Nutes💦
So now armed with some new nutrients, I took it very easy introducing them.
First few feeds I kept at the absolute minimum and then gradually worked my way up, from next week I will add more of the bloom as per biobizz feeding chart
She is not drinking as much as the other plants, so I have not bumped up her watering level just yet
Might need to add some root stimulants to solve the watering and size issue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🌞🌩️Weather🌩️🌞
Winter is here and damn it has been cold
The wind is just not letting up and it is freaking me out a bit with flowering and potential males in the area
Thinking of keeping them indoors till harvest time
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🐛Pests🐛
No bastards to be seen or found
But I will keep up with preventatives, due to flowering Bioneem is out the window and now strictly Ecobuz pest control
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💪Training💪
A few bendies still on her, will probably remove them and go to string to open her up
branches are getting thick and bendies will eventually hurt them
I went knocking on the devils door... and yes he answered.
I noted a few times things were a bit boring without all the problems of my last grow, well things got a whole lot less boring this week
Rough week for the autos, a build up that has happened over time and explains some stunting I could not figure out
Clearly my PH meter was not working so well... and...yes I managed to PH/NUTRIENT LOCKOUT MY AUTOS 😖
Along with using RO which has no buffer to PH fluctuations... I managed to fuck it up royally
No fault to any nutrients or anything, I just hit them with way too much alkaline
but I was able to catch the problem quickly enough with my photos that they didn't suffer as much.
So a slightly longer Diary entry this week in the hopes it helps others who may come across this
- Droopy leaves
- Lime green branches and veins in the leaves
- Leaves turning sideways
- Abnormal leaf growth
- Stunting
- Clawing leaves
- Less water uptake than before
Okay so first treatment was flushing asap - I flushed and flushed - about 35L per pot (too little I know but again inexperienced)
I tested run off the next day with a proper PH checker and we were still in the 8 PH range 😭😭
Okay, clearly I had caused a massive problem
BEHOLD THE WARRIOR ARRIVES!!!!
GH FloraKleen or now known as TA Flashclean was the Hero I needed
I flushed two dosses after the other and managed to bring the runoff down to between 6.5/7
okay awesome but we still have a bunch of deficiencies to fix as these plants have not been taking in a full range of nutrients for a good while now, bless them
So now I need to wait a day or two for the soil to dry and will be giving them Ecobuzz Startgro which contains no Nitrogen as I currently have a Nitrogen toxicity still due to PH range my plants were in
They were literally only taking in Nitrogen
Looking at a Nutrient to PH chart
I should be lacking
- Phosphorus
- Magnesium
- Boron
- Copper
- Iron
- Zinc
The plan is to introduce those nutrients in small quantities as soon as the soil dries and try to correct my damage I caused
Also a dash of rootpro to give the roots some help, they must be hating me.
They have recovered very nicely since I used the Florakleen
- Leaves are standing up
- Less clawing
- Lime green is slowly clearing up
- Branches are telling me they are lacking other nutrients... but thats okay, at least I can see what is going on now again
Lets hope for healthy, beautiful plants for the next week

Winter is here and damn it has been cold
Weather stabalising, less wind plants can get their morning sun till the shade sets in

🐛Pests🐛
Nothing, thank goodness
Unhealthy plants attract pests...so I was a bit worried
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💪Training💪
Almost all bendies gone
Focusing on specific branches and garden plant wire
So this little devil
I don't think she is going to get as tall as I thought
Mostly I think due to
A) The lockout I caused
B) Topping im sure slowed down her height (which kinda was the plan)
But I am not complaining, she is growing so really nice nugs and smelling flippen fantastic.
She smells great, rubbing the branches near the buds and smelling my fingers is really rad... Its a very different smell compared to the other plants I have grown and im still trying to put a similar smell onto her....A sour/sweety kind of vibe (fruit kind)
Anyway she has also bounced back nicely after the lockout, she has quite a few deformed leaves and still dark green from the episode but they are looking healthy other wise, my weird little devil I guess.
She is the youngest of all the plants which got lockout, so with special attention I think I can get her looking magic at the end.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💦Water and Nutes💦
Light reintroduction of nutrients since lockout
Startgro to add a bunch of nutrients back (excluding nitrogen due to slight toxicity)
Water
Then back onto the Biobizz schedule to add the good stuff also
They are drinking lots
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🌞🌩️Weather🌩️🌞
IT IS COOOOOOLD
Biggest cold front of the year has swept in, dumped a whole bunch of snow and these plants are not going near that
They will be staying in the tent for now.... I think they miss the sun but still look happy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🐛Pests🐛
Nothing, thank goodness - plants are now healthier so I am more optimistic
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💪Training💪
Some slight training, pulling branches open
Defoliating a few leaves every few days
Fields of grenades is all I can say
There are big nugs all over this plant, with big pistols
and we know what they say, big pistols.... big...
Her leaves are still very dark and such from the lockout episode, but slowly coming back to normalsies
Her nugs are looking gorgeous though
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💦Water and Nutes💦
back to normal feeding and watering
once every two or three days - plain water between nutes
watching PH closely
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🌞🌩️Weather🌩️🌞
Coming out of our cold snap.... and less wind
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🐛Pests🐛
Nothing to see here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💪Training💪
Wire to keep her open, she is also fighting to bend back
Devil or BUDZILLA (also pistolzilla)
The little mutant is growing monster buds and monster pistols
Quite crazy and I am not sure if its strain specific or still a wobble from my heavy handed PH
or my big defoliation I had to do... even though it hardly looks like I removed a lot of leaves..... Trust me I did
Anway she is chilled, growing big for her small stature and I am quite happy
HOPE AND PRAY FOR NO HERMI - which is a big fear with my my others weeks mistakes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💦Water and Nutes💦
Normal feeding and watering schedule
1) Nutes in normal water
2) RO water
3) Low dosage of kelpak RO water
REPEAT
Side nutrients added where it seems necessary

Just holding her down at the moment, trying to open up more space
Defoliated a bunch
Goodness me but is this strain quite incredible
I have to start with the smoke because I tested it today and wow wow wee wow
The euphoria I experienced was quite incredible
Sounds were clear
Colours were more vibrant
and I was at P E A C E ☮️
but still very much awake and thoughtful
The taste is very much towards citrus almost like a lemon based soap...but very tasty
Really good stuff, I will keep this for strain for days of relaxation or I need to figure something out I am struggling with and need a different point of view
Special strain
She did very well under the circumstances
Many new things for me during this grow
Topping
Lockout
Non ph correcting soil
And aphids a few days before harvesting
Il be honest I was really hoping for her to get bigger as per the strain description.... but I think the fault was mine
During the pre flowering stretch I had caused lockout so I probably stunted a whole bunch of growth... my bad and so I learn
She mutated quite a bit during the lockout which was the reason for me giving a neutral resistance score as my other plants did not, she survived and still made big ass buds... but she was influenced the most out of all of them
Then aphids hit a few days before harvest, my god there were many aphids... but we dealt with them and she finished up nicely.
Aside from that, she reacted well to me topping her and grew back quick as we all hope when growing autos.
I would def grow her again to see her full potential, she is on my growbacks list.
Big smelly buds
big ass pistols which carried into the harvest and have browned over the buds nicely
and fok me but the smoke packs a magical punch
A word of caution to any other growers
Treat her nicely, she is a devil and does not like to be messed with 😉
Congratulations! 👏
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.
And thank you very much again for the score of 8 out of 10!! 👏😍❤️
We hope you enjoy the harvest 👌
Sweet smokes!
