Winter&Spring Summary

JohnnyBarrel Here I’m, back to the community! Happy to restart to report my growing experience 🧑‍🌾 and to look at the great work of the growers. 🤩 I quit GrowDiairies for a few months…I had a pretty bad end of year 2023 and no really time to spend to my diary. However I keep on growing. I did 2 auto flowering sessions: one #1 correct despite of an odium problem on a plant, the second #2 is correct+ 😁. I’m actually growing 4 photoperiodic plants too, 1st flowering week 😋 The difference between the two sessions was less about protocol than about my mood: I grow better when there is no problems around. First session : remember just 4 plants -Red Poison (Sweet Seeds): Red plant, long stretch, correct bud, little harvest, very tasty and smooth 🙂 -BlackJack (Sweet Seeds): solid plant, strong smell and effect 🙂 -wedding Glue (FastBud): short plant, large and very sticky buds, moisture problem (odium) 😕 -Banana Purple Punch (FastBud): the queen of the room, really beautiful plant and amazing degustation…powerful and heavy effect 🤩🤤 Here is the summary of the last auto flowering session #2 - starting February 1st with 6 girls: Zombie Kush Auto and Sour Ripper Auto from Ripper Seeds, Sweet Cheese, Sweet Trainwreck, Sweet Gelato and Cream Caramel from Sweet Seeds 10L pot with GrowMix + Guano + mycorrhiza + worm humus + coco fibers - Little Vegetation room (60x60cm) with Niello 300 Veg mode, 18h/24, 5 week. No really nutrients: just Calmag, root stimulator, algamic, bio heaven. Sprayed Fish Mix 2 times every weeks. - Flowering under Ts1000 Mars Hydro in a bigger room. Added some guano on soil week 6 and some flowering stimulators (light). I cropped the Cheese just before flowering process to stop the vertical stretch. Week 8: added Calmag Overdrive (phosphorus + potassium), Bud XL (Zn, Cu, Mn, B) and Sugar Diamond ( K2O, MgO, SO3 ) . Defoliation week 9 - Flushing week 12 (Flawless Finsh)

JohnnyBarrel A good result despite the irregularly conditions. Fast flowering for this beautiful plant.

JohnnyBarrel A great pleasure to grow this strain and the automatic version is a really good surprise. I will surely growing it again.

JohnnyBarrel Correct result for Sweet Gelato Auto. Easy growing: dynamic and healthy vegetative period. Short, solid and bushy plant, it need 11 or 12 weeks from seed to harvest. Flowers are very resinous and thick with a strong and aggressive aroma. The Cookies genetic is very recognizable. The yield could be bigger with a good training (LST) instead of having a big central bud.

JohnnyBarrel The phenotype express a sativa doninant

JohnnyBarrel The outcome of the flowering was very surprising. Flowers pumped up the last 2 weeks, became hard without leaves inside the buds, developing an amazing rancid and musky smell . During the vegetative phase; the plant grew vertically with pretty good ramifications..I did a topping very late, just before flowering like in emergency to stop the stretch: the plant was a little bit shocked but never stopped growing with a big internode’s distance. The opérations finally gave a good result: forming and developing more blooming sites. But the whole stability of the structure was changed and the plant was bending dangerously till the harvest.

JohnnyBarrel Cream Caramel took more time to finish the cycle than other strains in the room. But flowers are well developed, sticky and thick. A bigger pot is necessary for having a better yield but the weed look strong and good.
