ILGM Sweet Auto Mix

Most of the ladies have been topped, LST'ed and super cropped. Not all of them but most. Eventually all will be topped if no issues. 1 skittlez has played over twice due to over drying but comes right back. It was dropped later than the others and I got my watering off alil. All in all. Going very well. 3 skittlez, 2 wedding cakes, 2 gelatos and 1 sour diesel haze auto.

This past week has gone really well. These have been super cropped, LST'ed, topped and crammed into 1x1 spaces under two spider farmer sf 1000s. 20 inch height at 70% power to maintain 500 PAR even end to end. I'll gradually adjust to reach 600 near beginning of flip to flower for these autos which is within 1-2 weeks away if all goes as normal in the ruderalis gene. Each doing well with stocks really thickening for there age in soil. I expect speedy growth the next two weeks from here on. Stay tuned!

This week I was away for 4 full days and somehow some way these did not have any damage from drought. Honestly, I think the Armor si has something to do with it as I have given it 3 high doses prior to this trip and as stated on the bottle, it protects plants from many things Including drought. My last grow suffered each time they dried out. Every strain when I returned had EXPLODED and began early flower stages. I'm very pleased with these. I jammed them in here and I'm hoping for the best. Alot of LST done, super cropping of some branches and alot do cleaning up. These look so much better on this go around. 1 plant did have a broken top that I had to remove. My careless mistake however the plant now has alot of space so produce quality buds in the future. There may be less to that one but it should be nice. I'm liking the General hydroponics/organics so far. Curious to see if the salt content drops however I'm less concerned because these will be heavily flushed multiple times near finish. Stay tuned !

Very solid week. 4 have stretched out nicely taking up some space. 4 are shorter but spread nicely. 7 are topped 1 is not for a test. 6 remain in the 4x2 tent, 1 is in a 16in.x16inx48inch. tent and sour diesel is in a 2x2 next to my in/outdoor gsce on another grow. Everything is doing great. the late entry zkittlez hasn't fully entered flower yet but all other girls are flowering. I am very pleased overall. Sour diesel has already produced some trichomes on it's leaves. No others have done this yet but the last time I grew this sour diesel it finished fast and had trichomes develop early in flower. Hoping to continue success with these girls. Stay tuned !

Another great week and large defoliation done. These look incredible and are on a roll. A few smaller are still in early flower stretch so today 7/19 they went outside for some sun! I have been keeping a good eye on these as they are drinking 1/4 gallon nearly every 2 days! Very successful so far and hope to continue keeping these girls happy!!! Stay tuned!

I am fairly satisfied with this week's progression. These have kicked into gear and are rolling along. My two gelatos are much lighter in color than most others. I'm not sure what to change. My last grow a few strains seemed like they required something different than others but I never did try to fully figure it out. I will be looking into this. Any help is appreciated as always. Sour diesel is the leader of the pack and looks to finish as fast as last grows. It finished on day 68 I believe from seed. Very small plant but amazing smoke and dense buds. Can't wait to keep it rolling. Wish me luck as I keep these girls rolling. Thanks and stay tuned

Another fantastic week. *Gelato- seems to be yellowing sooner than others and possibly nutrient burn. It's been flushed once and will go easy on this for finish. It's really producing nice buds that look like they will be a dense structure. We will see. The smell is different than any u have grown. Can't even explain it exactly. **Wedding cake, one is yellowing and showing potential burn the other is doing well. 1 is faster than the other and slightly bushier. Smell is very citrusy. ***Zkittlez-very skunky and fruity/sweet smelling. 3 in total, 2 are similar, short and bushy however 1 if the two short started a week or more later seems to be further than a week behind in flower. The other which was beat to death and came back somehow suddenly turned mostly yellow in 1-2 days with alot of red leaves. It's extremely close to my light and power is set to 60%. I cannot move it right now so I'm praying nothing bad happens. I may take it outside for good to remove it from the other plants grow space. ****Sour Diesel haze, may be the best strain IV grown and very consistent to the last. Identically short, green and very frosty with a mix of orange and white hairs twisting together as it bulks up for finish. I will begin to flush this after 1 last feed most likely. It looks amazing and smell is ridiculous. Very skunky and sour like it should be. Best looking bud/leaves IV had. These will continue to get attention as they finish.

The ladies have done well again this week. 2 have had some trouble and lost there leaves. I may have had some over lighting however the plant seems to be doing very well still as the buds come closer to finish. These look to be done faster than I expected, for most of them. Gelato is the leader in size with both plants very similar in size/shape except one has much fuller, different looking buds. Darker vs lighter. The skittlez and wedding cake also has different phenos. The girls have been moved to a new location where conditions are very stable all day/night. It will be harder for me during this humidity to get the temps to drop low enough at night for alot of color change. The last 24 hours were 81-84 degree F humidity 39-44. I am very happy with the consistency though. The buds are looking really nice and the smell is insane. Hoping for a quick finish. I believe sour d and 1 zkittlez will be done first. Nothing within 2 weeks. Sour d could be sooner but I have a very very busy schedule ahead so timing may be when I am ready, not when it is. I will not allow them to be over done but I just may not pull the exact day that I may desire. Hoping for a safe, smooth finish. Stay tuned!

Bad news: The first time saying this was not a good week for the plants sadly. I had a family emergency and had to leave for 2 days and I left during a big storm which kicked my surge protector to my Air conditioner. ***I have lost 2 plants. 1 wedding cake and 1 zkittlez due to that high heat and drought. ***Thankfully, the rest have survived and after just a day or so shockingly have really responded to the stress with trichomes coverings the images under the microscope. *Sour Diesel- chopped on day 71. This plant is ready. It was so close to chop before the issue hit. It finished safely and is drying now. ***Wedding cake-1 left and it looks great! Mostly milky, showing some amber around so I will chop within a week. It's smells very citrusy. ***Gelato's- two phenos it appears and they both have that similar, dank smell but 1 includes some extra skunk. 1 is very dense, light green colored buds and the other is less dense structure with a very unique color. Very very sticky and I can't get over the smell. They have plenty of milky trichomes. These will finish within a week. ***Zkittlez- two left.(one not pictured)..one has been through hell and back but I can't believe it started really kicking ass about a week ago. It may end up being really high in yield. Most of the stick is purple but it continues to do better. The other is absolutely amazing. It's just like I would expect a zkittlez to look. It will finish within a week. The other damaged but doing great will be 3-4 weeks atleast if I had to guess. Things have really calmed down after I returned home to flip the switch back on. It was 109 at the time I arrived and within 15 mins It was 70 degrees in the room. They have remained stable. Thankfully the dehumidifier was plugged in elsewhere and did not trip with the a.c so zero mold issues. I thought I lost it all but in the end it may have been a stresser that improved there finish. Praying for a safe, smooth finish! 🙏 Stay tuned!

Over 26 grams of dried usable smoke. Great growing plant. Grows very small but creates bud from end to end nearly. It's all usable as the height is only 12 inches tall with LST. Super cropping did not seem to do alot more than creaf thicker stronger branches. Bud size and structure is the same as last grow nearly. However this grow the bud itself has much more purple in it. Highly recommend for small spaces sea of green. Low height areas. Smell is semi loud but not crazy during flower. Seems strong to all issues Including two extreme heat days. A.c. was off but lights on at 114+ degrees! This plant kicks ass!!! Till next run of this. Thanks

Most have been chopped except 1 zkittlez on day 99 as of today and looking insane. Lots of milk+amber and still rolling for another few days to a week likely. Most of these finished very well. -Gelato 1 ended up with less resin and stank after it was chopped I'm not sure what happened. It originally was super fire smelling and looking. The look is still good but not sticky or smelly less than a week into cure though. -Gelato 2 smells like Pepto bismol & diesel fuel but airy bud. -wedding cake 1 died but finished with nice dank compact buds. Probably around an oz un weighed as of now but will update. -wedding cake 2 super fat nice buds. Really stinky like citrus pie. Very bright smelling. -zkittlez 1 is dense, sticky and thick smelling. Unable to place it yet will update. Around an oz. -zkittlez 2 is super fire looking and smelling like straight skittlez candy. Wow. I'm letting this have 30-50% amber before I pop her. She won't be long now but will be dense, dank and deadly! -sour diesel is one purply and dank SOB! Wow did that thing begin curing nicely. Compact sense buds. Smells just like batch #1 but the added purple color made bag appeal! (Zkittlez 3 died) threw the immature bud in the fire pit, smelled like pure hay and had a ton of seeds in it that were mature. No idea why and no other plants have any seeds at all found) Stay tuned for weight and smoke report!

Nearing the end. I will put this to dark tonight. Chop it on Wednesday day 107 and hang this whole to dry. This will complete round #2 of growing! My overall yield from 7 was higher this round than last round with 8. Quality also went up but I do want to find better breeding and higher quality/thc strains. These have been inconsistent. Terps have been odd. I will still be updating more harvests and smoke reports in the near future. Allowing time to cure so I have a better judgement. Thanks and stay tuned!

These were easy to grow. Flipped to flower before day 30. These just aren't what I am looking for. I have more running but unless they amaze me I won't get more. Thanks for following. More info and harvest details to come. Very busy

Chopped day 106 seems average now for a good finish from ILGM autos. 60 grams dry yield from 2 gallons of soil from 1 of the two phenos. It is what you are looking for in zkittlez strain. However the other pheno was not worthy at all. Both grew totally different. Buds are fruity/earlthy. Dense and sticky. Covered very well. Chopped on day 106 I'd recommend it but it's not for me. Thanks for following along!
