18 hours in a glass of water in a dark space, then placed into slightly moist cotton pads for about 30 hours, then placed straight into 20l bags of coco. This method is kinda complicated, but gives me fast and consistant results. My mistake was planting one of the seeds too early: it didnt sprout enough. and on during the second weak still having troubles getting out of seedling stage.

Photos were taken on the 11th day after germination done with a cotton pads method. One of them was apparently planted too early and still has difficulty growing. On the other hand all the others are doing well. On 11th day started giving them some nutrients and placed a fan, so they could also train themselves to grow thicker branches. Maybe some LST will be applied later, haven't decided yet. Feel free to comment. :)

Photos were made on the last day of week 3. As usual Im a bit late with training them. Anyway I topped 3 of them and tied down one of them, I kept the last one developing at this point, will apply tie-down a bit later. I gave them food twice during this week and I think Im pretty happy with the results I have especially considering the fact that these are my first autoflowers. They began to flower a little bit, hope they will stretch enough during upcoming two weeks of pre-flower. Im gonna give them less rootbooster and tonic, but more boost accelerator, also gonna change the lamp. Lets see, whats gonna happen. Had to remove the 6th one Banana Purple Punch, was placed in the soil too early and too deep, and he didnt want to develop, its a pity, however, life goes on. Thanx for reeding.

Not much done during the week. I changed the lamp, now theyre getting comfortable with my HPS lamp. Everything is going fine, ladies are stretching. Feel like Preflower began already, for some of girls it might be the first week of Pre-flower (Purple Punches are growing fast). Expecting even more stretch next week, hope everything stays fine, stay tuned ;)

Girls are struggling with some micronutrient defficiencies, runoff PH is somehow always too high, but they keep on growing and begin to form buds. Looks like veg is absolutely over. Hope I ll be able to find solution to problems next week, and the rest of flowering will be smooth.

I appreciate any advice u might wanna give if ur an expirienced grower, since im still learning, and make mistakes sometimes (my english sucks ;) sorry) 1.30m tent, HPS 400 watts 3 litres once in two days 2 ml calmag once a week little defoliation high PH almost fixed just by feeding them more of a right PH solution experimenting with higher ppm introducing them to PK feedings thinking bout automating the watering process, I love doing this all but would like to make it a bit easier) O boy theyre living fast. At the end of week 6 we already have pretty good hairy baby-buds on one of Purple Punches and on Banana Purple Punch and also even smaller ones on one of apricots. One Purple P and one Apricot are a bit late but that still kinda fits the schedule, theyve just finished their pre-flower and almost ready for flowering run. Damn I love Purple Punches, big trees done within 6 weeks, one is 140 sm, almost no troubles, the only thing is they drink a lot and the second one is a bit late). Banana Purple Punch just does her thing, never cares bout anything, her smell is perfect. Apricots had some troubles with micronutes but theyre compact, and I expect good results from them anyway) I would say everything s good at this point, hope it stays this way next week, wish me good luck, peace!

So here we are at the end of week 7. The further - the more interesting as we all know. 😎 1.30m tent, HPS 400 watts, 600w applied at the end of the week this means - will have temp drop between day n night, maybe will trigger the colors Idk 3 litres once in two days 2 ml calmag once in a while PK 13/14 a little bit for some of them, fool dosage according to feeding charts for more mature ones more defoliation comparing to previous week and a lot removed from the bottom(after pictures were taken) 😎 👈 👉 Any ideas on what I should give them from Advanced Nutrients toincrease an overall bud quality?😶😶😶 Alright I love how this all s going. Could be better if I was more structured and organized, but talking about them, I am just amazed by the genetics. The smell is already strong and a t this point its mostly sweet. The fastest are Banana Purple Punch and Purple Punch 1: both have some really good buds forming already, Banana Purple has a lot of sugar and shes fast, shes in 6 liter pot and shes a bit small but looks lovely anyway , Purple Punch 1 is monstrous, shes 1,50m and has buds and sugar all over, week three of flower kinda unbelievable. Apricot 1 and Purple Punch 2 are keeping up with the leaders, maybe week behind, Purple Punch has some sugar and small buds, Apricot 1 looks like planning some fat buds, and shes compact, fat and brutal in common. Apricot 2 decided to go slow and keep on stretching, she s now the tallest of them all, pretty fat and has a lot of branches, she just has her own vision on how things should happen, shell show her full potential during next week. I love them and they feel it i believe 😊. Stay tuned, peace.

👆👆 😌!Hello and happy new year to everyone! 😉 👆👆 Yall know why Im late with updating this grow after week 8 passed😏 😇 1.30m tent, HPS 400 watts (600W raised my temp too high. amount is a criteria, however not the most important for me) 25 day/18 night temp gave me some colors appearing, not super noticeable, but... 3 litres once in two days Little of calmag almost in every solution, ful PK for younger ones, no PK for more mature, they dont need as I see it Defoliation happening once in a while. 😇 Ok, girls are growing, girls are changing, not much trouble and difficulties, though PH is a little too high. Aroma in the tent is changing, becoming more ?heavy?) after touching them i smell strawberry, diesel and citrus scents. Surprising already. Banana Purple Punch is turning a bit red, pistils are turning brown, dunno if I ll be able to push it to the limit, so we're able to see some exotic colors. Purple Punch starting to look kinda Purple, gotta work it out, others are just growing regular green, as they should be. Purple Punch one is just getting closer to harv with each day, I'm trying to help her hold all the stuff on her 😅. Kept the wattage at the 400 watts, they began to eat less nutes, which I believe is connected to the temp and it also didnt affect growth speed positively, so I cut the wattage back. Apricot one is growing buds, apricot two is beginning its full flower path. I am a bit slower than I expected and apricots dont have enough sugar right now, so some insta photos of them will appear later. To sum up everything is cool, thanx everybody for any feedback. Keep up, peace and good smoke to everyone.😌

👆👆 Hello once again! 👆👆 1.30m tent, HPS 400/600 watts 25 day/18 night temp gave me some colors appearing, not super noticeable, but... 2-3 litres once in two days Little of calmag almost in every solution, almost no PK for most of them Defoliation happening once in a while. I didnt have enough time to fully watch after them during week and a half, missed some moments of their life, however theyre strong and beautiful. Most of them are close to what I would ideally like to see. Purple Punch 1: close to harvest, huge buds, trichomes are cloudy(lot of them), Purple Punch 2: close to harvest, a lot of trichomes, still needs some time for buds to get fatter and to ripen, at the end gonna be really good, I smell citrus a lot, Banana Purple Punch is getting fatter, Trying to develop some purple and red colors, has a lot of trichomes, I think, gonna be potent and sweet. Some issues with excessive PK in Apricot 1, buds are a bit stretched, aroma is not so strong, hope during the upcoming weeks shes gonna gain more healthy to get closer to full potential, Apricot 2 is a giant just forming fat buds, at this moment not really sugary, but I expect that in the upcoming weeks, interested about her since shes a huge plant and her bloom is still in the middle phase. Each one is finally blooming hard, some of them are closer to harvest, i checked the trichomes and theyre cloudy. So for some of them harvest is really close. For some of them there s still some time to develop some massive buds. Had some issues with excessive Ph and nutritions in common, they tend to eat a lot less these days. Ill have more info for you in the next weeks diary, since id like my photos to represent what I try to explain in the text.

👆👆 Another week - another diary! 👆👆 1.30m tent, HPS 400/600 watts 25 day/18 night temp 2-3 litres once in two days Little of calmag almost in every solution, almost no PK for most of them Enzyme added as I was told to do so from fastbuds website, thanx for providing me with this chart fastbuds and canna. Wow! At this point the garden is just pure beauty, feels good just to stair at them😌 I washed 4 of them at the end of the week(except apricot 2) and during the next week gonna give them half-dosage of nutrients(maybe im wrong, I just follow fastbuds/canna chart from fastbuds website and now i prepare them for the end), apricot 1 and purple punch gonna get a bit more than purple punch 1 and banana purple punch, their trichomes and size tell me they have some time to eat more and develop more qualities😏. Apricot 2 s gonna get PK and full feeding, shes planning something big and if you touch her buds, she really do smell apricot already, really curious, her way was absolutely random, but here she is and shes gonna get even more interesting. Tbh I already checked out most of them and theyre already wonderful from any perspective, but thats not what were aiming for, lets wait for the final results😅. Thank you if you read it to the end😇.

👆👆 Welcome 👆👆 1.30m tent, HPS 400 watts 24 day/18 night temp 2-3 litres once in two days Final Part for some of them, Pro Organic Bloom for some, Canna Coco and full set of stuf i have for Apricot 2 This update is a bit late, but not too much 😎 OMG. Here they are! Theyre getting prettier and prettier. I changed feeding a lot and there were better ideas of what to feed them but this is how it is... Anyway they all keep getting bigger. Purple punch smells like fruits and berries 😌(check out the snow though, shes just white), maybe a bit tropic. Purple punch 2 smells more like citrus, maybe pine 😇. Banana Purple Punch smells sweet like banana and everyday gains more of this strong strawberry smell, wonderful, she also turns red and pink more and more 😍. Apricots both smell like apricot, like for real, but I also smell a lot of diesel. Really interesting smell, I hope theyre gonna keep that till the end 😮. Yhey all form really interesting scents where heavy aromas border on light ones. I just cant wait to check the final results. I think I am going to begin flush of Purple Punch 1 and Banana Purple Punch next week. I feel like I will be suuuuuper happy reeeeally soon. 😇 🙏 😈 👆👉 😎 👊 👍

💤Its been a while since i updated this diary which is sad beacause I get feedback, see a lot of support and interest. Couldnt keepthe diary up to date but anyway want to provide you with all the info and lovely photos.💤 Week 8 fixes mistakes made during last week. I messed my feeding chart, but this week everything is how i want it to be and they get better. Apricot 1 grows in size and develops classic diesel smell 😊, Apricot 2 comes closer to diesel which is sad but maybe she will keep that apricot smell, she forms BUDS, and will give me A LOT of sufary weeed 😍.Banana Purple Punch still grows in size and keeps that sweet caramel + Strawberry smell 😇, also develops the color at its full potential! Purple Punch 1 is still kinda apple, she ripens slowly, Purple Punch 2 keeps that lovely berry smell and gets a bit more purple 😌. My mistakes barely affect them, they remain wooonderful and keep their personal absolutely unexected smell. Geeez 😎. Not always everything turns out the way you expect it, with all the girls it always turns out fine. geeee Thanks for reading!
