Golosa, Sugar Candy, 11 Roses, DarkPurps

Optico45 Still seedlings. Two weeks ago these were seeds floating around in cups.

Optico45 1st day of week two. still seedlings. Followed the simple Fox Farms Hydro Chart but only used 2/3 of the recommended nutrients. The two on the left are Delicious Seeds Dark Purple Auto, back center is Sugar Candy, front center is Eleven Roses and the two on the right are Delicious Seeds Golosa.

Optico45 All seems well so far. Had a nice sprout towards the end of week 2. All six plants now how adult leaves. Raised the CO2 levels this week. Plants seem to be enjoying it.

Optico45 Beginning of week 4. All plants were topped. Have nearly doubled in size since last week. One of the auto Dark Purple has already started forming flowers, didn't expect that to happen already.

Optico45 I defoliated bottom leaves, the tent has really gone jungle style now. Kicked on the extra LEDs for bloom only and the center LED is running both VEG and BLOOM lights. The two auto dark purple plants show a few leaves canoeing. Maybe too much nitrogen from trying to keep the PPM levels up. Flushed with sledgehammer.

Optico45 Looking good this week. Waiting for the non Autos to show signs of bud. Keeping Nutes low to help with the slight burn that showed in the Auto Purps. All 3 lights running, 3 LEDs that run actual 265 each. Keeping an AC unit in the tent to keep temps low. Refraining from CO2 this week. Ran out and don’t have time to fill the tank right now.

Optico45 Finally peaked at the roots and they look healthy, all bright white. Flowers forming on all plants. Dark Purple KUSH plants have adjusted and the buds are growing well on those. Added Mammoth P microbes beginning of last week and again in the reservoir change this week. So far so good. Trimmed them all.

Optico45 Frosty Flowers are starting to bust out from everywhere! The Auto Dark Purple Kush plants are getting close, trichomes are 100% milky and a few have turned amber. Maybe harvest by next weekend or the one after that depending in how fast they start to Amber up. The Sugar Candy is taking over the show with how fast the flowers have emerged and the size they are at this point. Golosa #1 is a hard second and isn't failing to impress my Newbie ass. The 11 Roses and Golosa #2 are doing nicely and will definitely produce. Went with the 3/4'ish of the suggested nutrients recommended by Fox Farm. Added for six gallons worth of filtered water versus the eleven gallons in the reservoir. CO2 is almost finished for this run. I worry it could stop the buds from maturing, getting amber trichomes, if I run any more past this week. Any thoughts are welcome here?

Optico45 The flowers are starting to get bigger and some are fattening up faster than others. The GOLOSA plants have an amazing amount of trichomes shiny and crystal like. The Auto Dark Purple Kush plants have a few amber trichomes but not enough to harvest just yet. Those plants require a different regiment than the other four in the tent. It shows, rust spots on the fan leaves indicate, as far as I can tell, that they have a calcium or manganese deficiency. The other plants are thriving. I think for any future grows, I will stick to one strain maybe two. All in all, I am happy with the progress so far. All advice is welcome.

Optico45 Auto Dark Purples are almost there. Hoping to harvest them very soon. The larger Golosa plant developed a few spots on the older leaves. Not sure if it is nute burn or a cal deficiency. Added 3 gallons regular unfiltered tap water just in case of a boron issue. The Sugar candy flowers just keep getting bigger. The Eleven Roses is starting to really fill out, a skinnier gal than the others but tight. Second Golosa is growing but has the smallest flowers of the group right now. Plenty of time to go though.

Optico45 Start of week 11. Added Cha Ching to the reservoir. Guess I’ll see what cha Ching means. The two Auto purples are in their own tent now, closer to harvest. The other four are looking great and filling out. Lots of defoliating, a shopping bag full this time. Clipping anything that grows half way down the stock and lower.

Optico45 I should have harvested it sooner. Trichomes finally turned 20-25% amber. Maybe shouldn’t have waited. We’ll see

Optico45 Stinking up the whole house. The Sugar Candy is about 19% amber. I’ve reduced the PPM to 550. Trying a slow flush to the finish line.

Optico45 Checked trichomes on last four plants. Sugar Candy and Eleven Roses looked ready. Ranging from 5-30% amber depending on bud site. Harvested those two. The Golosa need a little more time. Hopefully only a week.

Optico45 Delicious seeds Golosa has a nice licorice and diesel aroma. Very uplifting head and body buzz. Keeps me from waking up at night, can sleep until the alarm goes off. All four photosensitive plants yielded a little over a half pound dry. Very happy with my second ever grow. Now, what to do with all this bud?

Optico45 The Sugar Candy has a sweet exhale and flavor. This strain makes everyone I know more talkative and relaxed. Nice head and body buzz. Strong fragrance and bright orange colors. It sprouted strong and grew fast. Very healthy and roots were nice and white through the grow. Tastes and smells great. Need to figure out how to get more weight. Also, I’ve found ten seeds. Are these any good? They look normal

Optico45 This one sprouted a little deformed. Almost threw it out. The smallest plant of the bunch. The flowers grew in a spiral up the stalk, very cool. Nice heavy body buzz and pain reliever A Netflix and chill strain.
