Mimosa x Orange Punch-Summer Autos 2025

InsideAz Summer autos 2025 Trying some different seeds I’ve been researching and chose based off characteristics or lineage Barney’s farm (2): Mimosa x Orange Punch 420 fastbuds (2): LSD-25 Sweet seeds (2): Devil Cream 420 fastbuds (1): Gorilla Cookie (free) 420 fastbuds (1): Banana Purple Punch Week 1 (germination and week 1): 4/27/25-5/7/25 Grow room is a closet 2’x10’ Seeds germinated in soil on 4/27/25 and typically all sprouted on 5/1/25. (3) spiderfarmer sf2000’s provide plenty of light and keep energy cost down. Very reliable and powerful lights for price. Starting seeds at 30-40% light intensity for the first 2 weeks 7/8 success rate, one of the Devil Creams didn’t make it bc I broke the top off while searching for seeds in soil. Planted another and it has sprouted on 5/6/25 (about a week later). Will begin to increase light intensity and monitor vpd closely over the next week (: Week 2: 5/7-5/14 Just been watering with ph of 6-7, adjusting fans so they don’t blow directly on the plants. Devil cream #2 will be a week behind this whole grow and I don’t want to keep referencing it for documentation ease. At the end I’ll just have to remember it might go a week longer than the rest

InsideAz Week 3: 5/14-5/21 Strain notes: Has really done well through the last week and into this week, hoping it continues at this rate and becomes a huge auto like I’ve been seeing from other growers with this strain. Slightly lagging behind its sister the 2nd plant but its location is right where airflows into the closet and with the airflow setup inside it’s difficult to move around. It’s in a secure spot but had a day or two of wind stress early on. She’ll be okay General info: Light intensity increased from 40-50% throughout week. Only twisting the main cola gently once every few days (twist n snap) to promote growth Water ph between 6 and 7 Temperature stays steady at about 75f but the humidity has been ranging between 40-60% throughout the day. (Lowers when I’m at work) They should have plenty nutrients for the next couple weeks so for now we wait patiently and adjust conditions based off what they say they need.

InsideAz Week 4: 5/21-5/28 Strain notes: (5/21) The end of last week I could see the potential packed in this little plant. Within the first few days this week both plants of this strain are inches taller, excited for the results towards the end of the week. Preflower pistils are starting to show up, could be stretching already or starting the stretch this week. (5/27) Yeah these girls are stretching General grow notes: Light intensity gradually increased from 50%-60% Tea given 5/25 and brewed for 36 hours: 5 gallons water 4 tablespoons: organic blackstrap molasses (unsulfured) 5 tablespoons: Gaia green 444 5 Table spoons: Gaia green 284 2 Tablespoons: Gaia Green rock phosphate 2 Tablespoons: Down to Earth Kelp Meal 2 Tablespoons: Down to Earth Alfalfa meal (Not a suggestion that’s just what I did this time) Twisting main colas every water (every other day) Leaf tucking DAILY, sometime multiple times a day. These girls grow fast and a whole day without the proper light to a branch is inches of growth being missed. Not taking leaves off until the flower stretch is nearly done. I’ve dialed in the humidity and airflow through the closet finally. Plants are all thriving and recovered from previous stress by either too much wind or humidity in certain spots of the closet. First photos are of some leaf tucking performed on 5/21. Will try and update pictures of corresponding growth towards the end of the week (5/27)

InsideAz Week 5: 5/28-6/04 Strain notes: 5/31 Not nearly as big as expected and it’s sort of disappointing in the sense that the arms are too short to spread out and provide better light coverage. I know this is a me problem, from too much air and humidity in the early veg it stunted this girl. The other one is bigger but still not what I had expected from this strain. Live and learn, still hoping the best for her and maybe it’ll just grow fat colas stacked on top of eachother (: General Grow notes: All plants have officially flipped to flower and most have stopped stretching, with exception to the Devil Cream #2. Defoliating sometime in the middle of this week, and will upload pictures for the end of the week progression. Top dressing middle of next week and that will be the final feed for these plants. Light intensity will be increased from 60%-65% throughout the week, I’ve seen a light burn on some leaf tips so I’m going to dial back the increase in intensity until the next week of flower

InsideAz Week 6: (6/04-6/11) General grow notes: Top dressing this week and this will be the last food these girls get. My typical auto grows finish 6-8 weeks into flower so this food should last about a month. Also experimenting with different varieties of the same nutrients I’ve been using (info below). Will see how the plants react and adjust accordingly. Light intensity increased to 70% Top dressing was watered in with the same water I always use. Tap water dechlorinated for 24-48 hours and ph’d to 6-6.8 Top dressing: (per plant) *2 gallon pots* 1.25 tablespoon Gaia green 444 1.25 tablespoons Gaia Green 284 1 tablespoon Gaia Green Mineralized Phosphate 3 tablespoons Down To Earth Kelp Meal 2 teaspoons Down To Earth Alfalfa Meal 13 ish tablespoons Wiggle Worm Pure Worm Castings

InsideAz Week 7: (6/11-6/18) General grow notes: Towards the end of last week some (what I think is phosphate deficiency) started to become very obvious in some plante. This makes sense because I don’t generally use a lot of phosphate towards the beginning of plant life especially not autos that I only get feed twice. (at the beginning of their life and in the middle.) I had written down to top dress two days earlier than what I did last week and missed my mark. Could’ve saved some of these leaves, upsetting but gotta keep carrying on. Last weeks top dresssing should start being available this week (after a few watering) and I hope to see some improvement. But sometimes these purple plants slip away from me in the health/appearance category . Still learning and progressing Light intensity increased to 78% Typical environment is 73-78f & 45-65% Rh It’s been getting hotter outside, upwards of 105 daily so the humidity control has been annoying but my new ac unit has kept the grow room nice and cool so far when I’m usually battling 85+ degree heat. Time to put it to the test on the next grow, show I risk it with some photoperiods in the 5x5 after this grow? Or should I do around 2 of the current closet grow?
