For nutrients, as directed by the GHE Medium Flora Feed schedule for the week corresponding with how old the plant is. All three seeds are on slightly different weeks as follows (Which means all the weeks may be off on the diary, I think I did it as accurate as I could) -
Strawberry Banana Auto (SN) sprouted on 10/15/22
1 Cold Creek Kush (CCK1) sprouted on 10/27/22
The other Cold Creek Kush (CCK2) sprouted on 11/05/22
For these plants, I'm not doing any crazy training or anything, simply defoliating when I think it's necessary, but otherwise letting the plants grow.
Sort of hard to update or have this diary be 100% accurate as the plants are not at my residence but at a buddy's.
RIP the 2 Cold Creek Kush plants, both turned out to be male and are later culled. I will keep the photos in this diary for preservation and to look back on when I eventually grow CCK again.
Noticing the Strawberry Banana starting to do a few pistils.
Dec 13th - Flipping the CCK1 and CCK2 into flower (Hoping for females)

Only StrawNana gets Sweet Berry nutrient, also it does not receive RapidStart anymore.
Everything else is as directed by the GHE Medium Flora Feed schedule.
Dec 13th - flipped the CCKs into the flower light schedule, hoping for female!
I have a couple of pictures somewhere in my camera roll, but it's week 16 right now and I can't find it, nor want to scroll through and compare dates to what week it is right now lol. So, enjoy the AI-generated pug flying through space, I wish I was as high as he is! As well as some other AI-generated pug photos I had made. If you couldn't tell, I love pugs. I even have a pet pug!

We killed the Cold Creek Kush, the 2 plants we had both turned out to be male. :( So sad because one was HUGE, bigger than the Strawnana at a few weeks younger! The smell is amazing though when you get your nose in.
Day 90 - Smell is noticeable, sweet, maybe a bit floral?
This plant is taking longer than expected, which is fine, I will keep as close a watch as I can on it. The heads are still very clear, wanting to start seeing a few ambers and mostly milk before I cut it down.
The smell is pretty nice! Looking forward to smelling it after it drys and cures.
The smell is strong, she's still mainly showing clear trichomes, hopefully, she'll be done in two weeks if that. Any longer and branches might start snapping off from the weight lol.
Oh jeez, I don't know how much longer. I don't see a ton of amber when I check the trichomes, and I also don't see a lot of milky. Maybe a week or two? Who knows, tbh lol.
It's been a minute since I fed them nutrients, I probably will do a real light feed in a few days, and then after that just use water.
Got two Dark Devil Autos going now as well, and we tried to do Fire Crotch but they did not successfully germinate, but we'll probably start those soon too.
Starting to see some more amber, but minimal amounts. Definitely seeing the trichomes turning milkier though. Might end up cutting the plant down in half, maybe a week and a half tops, she's been going for sooo damn long.
It's day 119 and we decided we're gonna take it down this weekend, the 19th of February will mark the 17th week since it first sprouted, so what better time to chop!
We're also going to go the fridge dry method and then cure in Grove bags, hoping for some real nice smelling buds after all this.
Today, 2/11 marks the 17th week since the Strawnana had sprouted, figure it's as good a time as any to harvest it.
Going the lesser taken path of drying the flower in a frost-free fridge, it'll take a bit longer than the standard hang and dry but I want to try it out and so long as I'm attentive, it should all go well, even bought a wood moisture meter to poke into the bud to make sure they aren't too wet or dry. 😅😂
No idea what kind of smoke it is at this time, Feb 14th, as we just harvested days ago. Will update you when the bud is properly dried and cured.
Update, lots a good amount to mold. :) Anything in a bag is ruined.
Overall we had 758g or 27.07oz in wet bud (including stem and small leaves). I have no idea how much it'll net us in dry, but if it loses 3/4th its weight while drying I think ~5 to 7oz is still not bad for 1 auto.
We're also drying in a fridge, I know it's not the way most people do it, but our friend had a whole free fridge so we figured why not try and get the most out of this harvest. Should this go well, it'll be a great smoke, I believe.
@highdro_wfh, I believe the fridge we used just wasn't a good one, it didn't really control/let any humidity out, just kind of kept it cold and high humidity. I think perhaps a wine cooler or something similar would be better, or a more expensive, better fridge but we got it for free and new so! The fridge kept the bud looking absolutely killer though, I still have some and it looks just as good, it just has no smell/taste. Still hoping more time in the Grove bags will make it better but it's been a while lol. I've just switched to drying in a closet with an A/C unit and trying my best to keep it 60/60 for 2 weeks. Thank you for the compliment! Going to try and grow it again in my closet setup after this Dark Devil.
