Good start, all 3 strains show up in a few days. Starting with 1 lamp working and around ±70% humidity. Going to add the organic grow and bloom part a little.
Go's fine, scout is a little bit slower but it's not a big deal in the current distance. Turned on the second lamp and moved "dark hours" to the day to avoid overheating from lamp and daylight temperatures. So in a week average temperature during the day and the night gonna be almost equal.
Pretty good speed, GSC and Zkit became very bushy and Purple lemonade stretched and was now twice taller than others. Girls already started to show their girly parts, so I believe per-flowering will start closer to the end of the 4th week.
Plants start pre-flowering, Lemonade first! Girl Scout has a little block, you may see little burned on the end of new leaves. Checked drain - ppm in the out was 950 (in 500). Gonna flush her a little in a few days and check others - no signs of block tho. Also made a lot of defoliation past week (every 2 days). Cutted 2-3 pairs of lower fan leaves and a few lowest branches.
Hey! Washed GSC, but seems 2 others have a little block (end of leaves). I'll add water every 3rd time. Still - Purple lemonade goes well, I'll guess it's gonna be harvested earlier then others for a week or two
Guess the chop of the lemonade will be for a few weeks earlier than others (all of the 3 strains are raised on the same day). Lemonade is a heavy eater and buds are already frosty and twice bigger than others. The plan is to feed him for 2 weeks, then 1-week ripening and flushing.
Hey, growers! 7th week ends and is it even possible, that Purple Lemonade goes amber already? What is your opinion, is it just a few anomalies, or should I chope it after 7 weeks? I won't believe it!

Find a photo of amber in last week. mars Hydro LED 100W x2, all plants were fed the same.
trichomes are good to use at end... by other pictures in your diary, you are not at the end.
the trichoes formed early will be ambe at some point but you can only see top layer later on. i guess less o2 helps, but they are still going to be further degraded on older growth than new growth.
your pistils are still long white hairs, mostly. You have a while to go.

3 good things to keep you on track. the singular tunne-vision on trichomes is slightly misguided, imho. the general science behind it is spot on but i don't think how it is interpreted and used is considering the different ages of material invovled. only looking at the surface can't paint the full picture of what is going on.
Buds on Cookies and Zkittlez have become more extensive, but they still have a lot to build. Purple lemonade smells good, starting to give her rippen, the plan is to harvest her at the end of the 10th week (5 times ripen + 2-3 FloraClean).
Finish line - it was last week with nuts for GSC and Zkittlez. As you can see Purple lemonade becomes yellow (already fed her by ripen 1+ week). Flushed by FloraKleen GSC and Zlittlez, now 1+ week of ripening for all of them, and then we'll see. Ideally, I would like to chop them in 1 day to start to dry together
GSC and Zkittlez: having ripened them for 6 days already. The plan is to hold them on ripen for the next 4-5 days and start to flush.
Purple Lemonade: Flushed yesterday by 30L of tap water and then filled with 2.5 liters of Ph regulated water (6.7 Ph) and with FloraKleen. Out ppm was 1k+ but after flush it's near 230 ppm (x2 from tap water ppm). I'll give her another several time water with FlashKleen, pure water and cut her in the end of next week.
Gave the last dose of Ripen to Zkittlez and GSC, their autumn has come. Deleted all big leaves from Lemonade but still kept her on the water - ppm was too high during the flush, so I'll cut her only after on nuts will end in the soil. Today I'll flush GSC and Zkittlez and we'll see their ppm and approximate time on water and floraKlean.
A lot of big buds, but the main one was moldy. Unfortunately, the best part goes directly to the trash. Still - it was a great plant, big and even too smelly
It was smaller than the new genetics of FastBuds, but still - it's a good one with normal stress resistance. Thin branches so it's better to provide some assistance to the plant
Hey there growmie,
Thanks so much for sharing this diary with us! We hope that you had a good experience with growing our Purple Lemonade Auto!
It was a joy to look through your photos, enjoy the harvest
@Fast_Buds, Hey! Thanks for the great genetics, looking forward to harvesting Zkittlez and GSC this week and trying two cherry cola plants with different nutrients on the next grow
