Sept 5, 2021
- this auto seed was put in water early on the 5th and next day late-afternoon (6th), it was put directly into a Pot of Soil. Tail down of course. Really snappy, both of these specimens had a half inch tail SHOOTING-out. Love it !
- The Lemon Pie will stay in the small tent /LED and I am leaning towards HST to make it fit lol 24x24x60. Get it established and fold the top portion over; maybe between 4th/5th nodes, as required. Anyway, its a one time gig.
Clocks runnin! Ciao
- its still underground hahaaha
Sept 8th, seed has broken ground, all looks good.
Sept 11th

- misting a Foliar application daily, if possible at lights-out
Sept 13
- transplanted last nite into a 5 gal flex pot
- should be a quiet week hopefully allowing the roots to take hold
fyi
Fulvic Acid is misted each day at lites-out, when possible. (it feeds the plant directly through stomata under the leaves, while it builds roots)
- transplanted into a 5 gal flex pot
- watering program starts tonight w/ 1 cup
14th
- after a week under Veg light, Both veg & bloom are full strength, light-lifted to 30” for this first 100% session.
- first session under LED that i will measure leaf temps vs room temp
- began a watering schedule for freshly germinated seeds in 5 gallon flex pots…
Check it out, walks you right through.

- applied some LST to open the plant-up a bit.
-moved another Autoflower into the tent; Northern Lites express auto
30th
- fed the plant 5 cups H2O w/nutes as posted above
- chopped off those last 2 fan leaves
- Pistils are not an illusion, they have started mid-week
- going to freshen-up on the UV-b bulb application, I have one that's been waiting a while. (Used it with a CMH grow, only to find it's not really needed under that Wavelength [PanamaxMalawi and I believe it made one plant have more crystals regardless of the CMH main-light source] and it was used under LED lites with positive results on the Maui Wowie auto-grow. I'll get tuned-up on application times...)
Oct 3rd
- last day of week 3
- fed 6 cups h2o/nutes, next @ 1.5L
Oct 4th,
- steady as she goes
- excuse the colour cast, tube lites in the basement
- next meal above ~ 6th; @ 1.75L
6th
- fed H2O / Nutes as listed
7th
- seems to have been a growth-spurt overnite ! Lemon Pie is putting a little work-in
9th
- fed the plant 2L nutes/h2o
10th,
- last day of the week
- huge growth spurt over the last 3 days has filled the top of the Pot. Looks really healthy. Tonight I’ll check on the Pistils
Oct 11th
Oct 12
- fed the plant 2.5L this morning. “Huge growth” spurt over the weekend.
- visible white Stigma growth across the plant. Not outright flowering yet, but there are pairs at each node
- i think the game-plan for this plant, is to simply let it grow vertically and don’t mess with it at all. I’ve never done that indoors; and it seems be going through a real growth spurt and won’t be a height issue. Northern Lites will be gone within a couple weeks, time to let it ride
Oct 15th
- fed 2.5L, menu above
Oct 17th last day of the week
- photos tonight
Oct 18th
- more activity at Nodes leaves me no choice but to say its in Flower
- lowered the LED another inch towards the Lemon Pie. Higher concentration may bring the stretch to a close sooner.
She is g r o w i n g strong
20th
- light lowered another inch - 60 cm now
- buds forming on the branches throughout the plant
*************
FYI: On the FastBuds website, I just watched their video about the Lemon Pie auto… they state it has a favourite pH of 6.4 !!!!
- Had not ever seen or heard that detail. I’m close, but still Thought it worth sharing !
21st
- as the plant blew past 56cm this morning… it became obvious that I had a little scenario taking place, and I committed to Super-Cropping the Lemon Pie at the 26cm mark. 18/6 cycle was behind it, as a couple of young photo-periods are about to join this Tent… (black willie / pine tar kush)
So the main stalk was massaged, bent easily and without issue
22nd
- the plant looks bloody amazing with solid pistil growth everywhere. Almost like the super-crop did not interrupt any growth or development. We’ll see how it goes. All is good 👍 this a.m.
- added 4 tbsp of Kelp Meal and scratched it into the soil.
- fed 2.5L nutes/h2o/molasses early this morning
-LOL and in keeping with my mean-streak, the rough stuff happened again, in the morning re: yesterday’s super-crop. 😆
-it may appear TALL, but the plant can easily join it at that height, and I could also Not have it extending too far beyond the footprint. LST applied accordingly. Its going to be a busy structure
23rd
- she seems to be cruising through this supercrop. Extended growth all-over with Buds forming
Oct 25th
- starting a new week with the departure of Tent-mate, Northern Lights Express. And the Intro of the new Tent-mate; Pine Tar Kush. [Still Germing is the shy Black Willie (2x) same tent]
Oct 27th
- Soil moisture check tonight
29th
- dinner-time this morning; 3L. A bit bigger than normal, looking for a bit of run-off. No issues
Oct 31st
-something strange happened to the moisture in my tent. Plant was fed normally 2 days ago in the morning, and this morning it is Bone Dry, almost weightless. Where did the liquid go. So I just fed Lemon Pie Auto another 3L… and will keep a good 👁️ on it. (W/nutes) (Checking the big tent soil moisture)
Nov 1st
- she is doing an amazing job this week
- plant is catching up to the super-cropped top. Nice & Bushy
- removed 6 leaves that were blocking light
Nov 2nd
- mad progress each day with white fluffy buds all through the canopy.
- full bathroom reno is stretching me thin, and a full electrical panel upgrade, will see a day without power on the 10th…(hate paying a major tab for the electrical upgrade, But next week I suddenly have no more electric 🔌 problems hahaha)
-yep, i’m distracted, kids are fed n loved. thursday will be photo-day.
Nov 4th
- soil check showed a true Thirst; fed 3L with Nutes / Water / Molasses. Gave it an extra day without … and the flex-pot truly became weightless without any leaf droop. Perfect timing and a good kind of stress
Nov 6th
- last day of week 8
- with the soil screaming “dry” after only 48 hrs since the last feeding, I gave her another 3.5L of Nutes/Water
Nov 8th
- Orange Pistils are the action-item this week, they have started turning.
(going to try some “big-lens” Macro tonight. There are some beautiful buds)
Nov 9th
- dinner tonight 3.25L
- some of the lower fan leaves are showing some signs of decay, or yellowing. Always a great sign, this grow is starting to wind-down
Nov 11th, maybe tomorrow’s dinner will be the last w / nutes. A trichome check is slated for tonight. Yesterday, all day without power had me worried. This lass is in the home-stretch
- pot feels almost MT, lol, its still got a hunger
- posted 3 phone pics; ie: 11th am… but, i got some doozies with my camera gear!! Post those tonight, doozy may be right
Nov 13th
- full meal w/ Nutes for Lemon Pie tonight; 3.25L
- possibly the stickiest plant I have grown indoors...
Nov 14th
- with Airflow in mind, I took 6-8 prominent leaves from the bottom middle area. Nothing but Shadows down in the heart.
15th
- excited about blowing the dust off of the 65mm macro lens. Having a look tonight
- no early stopping on this grow. Yellow leaves or Bust.
Looking at other Diaries, there could be 3 weeks left in this Girl. See where it goes
- pulled the top branch horizontal, again…
Nov 17th
- allowed an extra day beyond the normal last watering, to make the plant/pot noticeably lighter, and boy did it work. Full nute meal + molasses for breakfast (and I told her she was beautiful); 3.5L menu above
- lots of Amber trichomes were found, along with many clear ones. Definitely waiting a bit longer
Nov 19th
- last day of the week, Last full nutrients tonight. Making a Late start to wrap this Puppy up. And I’m in no hurry. Taking this batch further than others, even though it’s an auto. I’ve never allowed one to truly finish . More Fan leaves turning that beautiful colour of decay
- almost feel guilty saying lets get it over with… big picture… i’m anxious to drop the light a little Lower on the next guys !!! (Black Willie / Pine Tar Kush)
They can wait a week or so
Nov 20th
- started the day by adding a couple of hours of lite to the schedule (weekend)
- fed 3.5L of H2O / Nutes and Molasses. Last true meal ?…not sure, I’m seeing Lemon Pie Auto’s going 13+ weeks. Patience on this one. Trichome checks tonight will seal the deal
- Trichome check was totally empowering. Great to see such progress, as I have never taken a plant this deep into Harvest. There is a wild amount of Amber Trichomes, while the rest are 50/50 still. The decay of the fan leaves is still obvious on the lower half of the plant, and I do not believe that will take long to climb up higher. Looking at maybe another week... its damn close to being ready though.
Nov 23rd a.m.
- flushed Lemon Pie with 13 gallons of pH’d water this morning ppm< 100
*** I would also like to extend a huge Thank You to Mars Hydro for sponsoring the new TS1000 LED light that is now 100% in-use.
There is a remarkable increase in all of the deciding factors of a lights, visible performance.
- I’d be happy to close-out Lemon Pie’s journey with a week or so of New Light
Nov 25th
- noticed the Calyx are really starting to pile-up on top of each other
- fed 2L of H20 / Molasses
Nov 26th
- last day of week 11
Nov 27th
Nov 30th a.m.
*** 3L Water and Molasses for its last meal. Lights-Out Friday morning, into a dark tent for 48 hrs. Harvest Sunday ***
Dec 2nd
- one last couple-litre drink of h2o/molasses/rezin to help her through the long night(s)
Dec 3
- last day of man-made light comes after 12 Full weeks of Flower !!!!!!!!!!!!
- also obviously going to be the largest yielding AutoFlower I have grown. (Walter White, Maui Wowie & Northern Lights Express) ea. grow has been bigger
- goal is 48-72 hrs of darkness for Lemon Pie Auto (36hrs darkness is for the plants going into Flower…)
-Photos, Chop and Hang happen on Monday morning
Dec 4th
- this weeks starts in the dark, with yesterday being the last scheduled exposure to Light, for this Lemon Pie Auto.
Sunday pm is ~ 60 hrs. and 72 hrs may dry it out a bit . Tba
Certainly the easiest plant that I have grown. Deciding to Super-crop the top was a tough call to make, but my tent gave me no choice.
I definitely want to grow a few of these Lemon Pie’s the next time round, and see what we can do vertically. 8/10 may seem low for something I’m going to brag about; yield and room for improvement cover that gap… this is a beautiful strain.
It carries an uplifting buzz, regardless of whether ur an Indica or a sativa lover. Its a “do as you wish doob” !
certainly not forced into a couch
#marshydro ts1000
Dinner-time today, December 5th, was 60hours of dark for the Lemon Pie auto, out she came.
Took a few pictures and as unceremoniously as possible, I chopped her into bite-sized pieces, weighted her, took a few more pictures and hung the plant in the small dark tent.
Removed the obvious large Fan leaves, and the pieces are at 21c with 45-50% RH for the next week or two.
Dec 7th the tent it is drying-in, the humidity has just dropped below 50% for the first time. Small fan inducing an small non-direct airflow through the tent, not a Breeze.
All looks good, in the dark... 21c still
Dec 12th
- the tent was a steady 45-49% rh all week. On two days I let it get back to mid 50’s and then dropped it again.
Today at Lunch each branch I checked, snapped easily. And there is a huge smell in the tent. I have succeeded in retaining a bunch of smell on these Buds. Most excellent !
- so, out they came and under-the-knife they went, to the tune of 58 grams from 1 single, 1x super-cropped plant
- into new Jars with 55% moisture control paks. Just twisting-up the 1st actual sample. The cure has begun; many Burps and a full smoke review to follow.
Happy growing! I hope you get some good results! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
Peace & Love - L.S.T 🙏🏼🌟
