- here we go with my second round of photoperiods!
-planted them in small 500ml cups, im planning to do some serious training with these and vegg as long as possible. so i will transplant a couple of times because her final pot will be a 10liter airpot.
- mixed some mycos from xtreme gardening in her soil!
- i removed all my previous lights because i'm testing out a Spider Farmer SF2000 quantum board that i'll be testing out in veg. i will add the other lights in bloom, i just want to see what it can do and so far the plants are loving it!
so the setup will be:
- in Veg: 1x Spider Farmer SF2000 (200watt)
– in bloom: 1x Grow Northern Telos 0008 Led 240w + 4x 3500K Cobs 60w each
– 120x120x200cm garden hypro tent
– 1 x Phresh Hyper Fan Silent 150mm with controler
– 1x Bull filter 150mm
– 4x garden hypro clip fans
– 1x 10liter Air-pot
– Biobizz Light mix soil
– biobizz: root juice, bio grow, bio bloom, acti-vera, bio heaven, topmax, GHE Calimag, Biotabs pk 5-8 bud booster
- amazing growth under this light, it's insane!
- She was transplanted from a 500ml cup to a 3liter pot today on day 14
- Super healty and ALOT of roots thanks to the Xtreme Gardening Mykos. i just love this product, i mixed it into the fresh soil and sprinkled some in the planting hole so the roots have direct contact.
- stay tuned i will almost start the topping and mainlining but i will let her recover from the transplant first
- she is 2 days older than her 3 sisters so they will be updated in 2 days
- so alot has happend this week, i topped her on day 17 and removed all growth under that,, tied the branches open and we are ready for mainlining
- she recovered super fast like she didn't even notice
- today (day 21) i removed the 2 big fan leaves to spread her heads open a bit more.
-keeping nutes low at this point
- stay tuned
- topped for the second time on day 26, maybe a little to soon but hey, removed the wrong leaves so she looked a little weird.
- the new mains are growing fast so i removed more leaves on day 28.
- pot is fully rooted but transplanting again is not an option sinds my final pot is a 10liter airpot. we will see how it goes.
- spread the branches on day 31 as they really needed some space, next i noticed a branch snapped a bit! She didn't really care
- almost time to transplant, as growth seems to be slowing down, i'll do that when i top her for the last time
- topped for the last time on day 38 and tied her legs open.. topped her on the second node and the other plants on the first, sinds she was growing alot faster than the others. now they are all the same size again and growth can begin
- removed the leaves on day 42 because they where constantly covering the tops,
- still keeping nutes low, better to little than to much!
- growth is great and i have my 8 main colas so i'm ready for the magic now
- transplanted her yesterday on day 48, into a 10liter airpot, this will be the final pot. also tied her in shape, now all i do is wait.
- that Mykos is AMAZING stuff, never had such a strong and healty root system! this is my new favourite product for sure!
- great growth this week
- hoping to flip in 2weeks max but we will see how it goes, sinds i'm waiting this long already i will atleast try to get them as big as possible.
- ive added the four 3500k COBS to the tent on day 60, they where really starting to stretch so i added one in each corner.
- i think im' going to start flowering on day 1 of week 11.
- really excited for that
- switching to 12/12 tonight! so flowering starts on day 1 of week 11 for this lady, super excited to finaly start flowering!
- defoliated and lollipopped her today so she is ready for the stretch.
- she is getting really hungry! i might start to add some epsom salt
- she is swelling hard! the smell on her is just WOW, pure strawerries it's crazy this might be my new favourite!
- look at that frost already
- may have went a little hard on the nutes so i'll have to back down a little
- pics were taken on day 105 total, day 35 of flower.
- had some problems with her, though i burned her so i lowered the nutes, but the tips got even worse and alot of brown spots, so im thinking its K def.
-pics taken today: day 112 total day 42 of flower
- she is still acting out but it seems a little better sinds i started the biotabs PK 5-8 bud booster (its not in the nutrients list so i chose pk booster compost tea instead)
- not gonna worry to much about it anymore sinds its almost time to start the flush
-pics taken today on day day 119 Total day 49 of flower (last day of week 17)
- started to flush 5 days ago and she is already shooting out beautifull purple/pink colors
- smell is amazing pure fresh strawberries
- the time has finaly come! harvest was today day 124 total, Day 54 of flower ( day 5 of week 18)
- all pics where taken right before/during/after harvest, harvest report will be up in about 10 days when everything is dry and ready to cure! now drying in a carboard box in the dry tent and i wet trimmed a sample cant wait to try it!
- perfect strain if you don't want odor problems, the whole apartment smelled like fresh strawberries when harvesting, nobody noticed i was harvesting!
- she could have gone a little longer but im in a hurry after 18 weeks! 😂
* Good comments: beautifull plant to grow, if you are worried about odor this is the strain you need, it doesn't smell like weed at all, it really smelled like fresh strawberries while trimming. She handled the mainlining like a champ!
* bad comments: she needed alot of food, she was very hungry, plant was a little leafy so trimming took awhile but thats probly because i underfed.
*other comments: failed with the mainlining because 100gram is just not a good yield for waiting 20weeks, so i wont be doing that again! Better luck next time, it was a great experiment tho and i learned alot.
* harvest: day 124 total, Day 54 of flower ( day 5 of week 18)
* dry bud yield: 107gram
* Appearance: very dense and colorfull buds
* Bud density: 8,5/10
* Aroma : when you open the jar, the smell of fresh strawberries hit you in the face
* Taste : sweet, fruity, not exactly as great as it smells but it has to cure some more
* Potency : 8/10
* Kind of high: 100% sativa, it gets you creative and uplifted, i cleaned the whole house after smoking this strain
* Colour of thrichs at time of harvest: 10% amber 90% milky
* Drying time: 7 days in the dry tent, 7 days in the jar
* Length of buzz: 2 -3 hours

Well done GardenOfAutos, not only with the plants, but one of the most consistent and systematic diaries. I appreciate the great detail of many high resolution photos, but done in a patterning where it is not spamming or overloaded. Great style.
the main lining technique that you did is looking wonderful, but that is it. With what you had, if you want yield, you should have left it for another 4-6 weeks in vegi to see the results. There are many main lining methods out there, some better then others depending in which environment you grow. For best yield indoors, leave plant to grow 5-6 knots from seed. Cut above 4th. Clear 1st and 2nd. Now you have 4 mains for LST. Leave to develop each 5 nodes and cut above the 4th and clear 2nd. Now you have 16 colas by the 6th week. After the last topping, 6 more weeks of vegi which brings it to 3 months. With main lining, is like growing a new plan from each shoot. Takes time to form a plan worth of yield/time investment. Best balance imo is 3 months vegi with 2 months flower and 1 month dry and cure.
I hope you will not get discouraged in doing again main lining and fluxing methods. It's a really wonderful way of manifesting over this plants. Check out my diaries, I have 4 plants under different main lining methods, now starting week 9 of vegi.
All the best!
Hey are your plants really in 3 gallon pots? Did any of them get root bound from 10 weeks of vege ? What is your watering schedule for such big beautiful plants in small pots?
Happy growing, cheers !!
