Bloody Skunk by Sweet Seeds

She is a quick one.. Gonna top her a little later.. Just cuz.. Cant smoke anyway.. Got plenty more of these seeds to experiment with.. Just wanna see her change colors! My main grow just started to bloom so I'm kinda just putting most of my focus on that one right now.. I had a page of her on here but got paranoid and deleted it.. But blah!

She was a little yellow than I like.. But I think she will grow out of it.. She's still growing quick..

I topped her and removed the bottom 2 branches because they weren't growing like the rest of the branches.. According to other Bloody Skunk grows, she should start showing some preflower soon.. Can't wait to see the colors she's gonna change!!!

Shes such a happy girl... I removed the top 2 fan leaves. They were blocking the bottom 2 branches from getting any light.. Now every branches is getting plenty. I've noticed the cup feels extra light every day now. She's drinking alot.. Probably gonna have to water 2 times a day in flower. Oh well! More time with my babies!... So I removed the top 2 branches (or topped her 1 node down) because the leaves were coming out a bit deformed.. And I just realized it would be easier to just have 4 colas.. Instead of 6 while growing in a cup. Pretty sure that day 24 she has pushed out her first calyx!!! My baby girl is growing up so fast! 😭 ... Anyways.. Yeah, I'm regretting all the abuse.. I need to learn not to abuse my girls like I do... Especially the autos.. My other auto took it fine, though.. No more abuse to this one.. Just LST from here on out.. And minimal defoliations when needed.. She should be flowering soon... According to other Bloody Skunk grows I've seen... So I forgot I had this little COB LED that I was gonna use for a project.. But this should work fine.. She's still getting plenty of Sunraise light but now shes getting more from this little thing lol.. She's so happy and healthy.. Besides the abuse I put on her and the bite marks from my dog smh.. I've been feeding them leaves that I remove so anytime they see a ganja leaf they think its theirs lol I need to stop pulling off leaves already.. She may be a little in shock right now.. No more for a week or 2.. so she can recover some.. She's still got a little more growin in her and then of course the stretch.. She'll be OK I think

She seems to be growing kinda slow.. I'm sure it's from all the stress I put on her. She should pick back up this week. Day 30 and she has some calyxes poppin up everywhere.. I think day 31 I found her first pistil.. Ill know for sure day 32. She's healthy and the slow growth is picking up a little. I need to put in some horizontal spikes to tie the branches down a little more.. Just enough to give the colas room to grow at this point. She's not gonna be a massive yield (obviously) but not gonna be a complete waste of time. Once I harvest my current main plant I will try it again in a 5 gallon pot. Yup! Pistils at day 32.. Just small and hard to take a pic of. Preflower begins!!! This week temps have been getting up to 86F.. I put in a 2nd inline fan with carbon filter and 2 more fans for the top of canopy to get some air movement. The air is NOT cooling down enough so Im just gonna have to go without the filter. ... Later that day... Even without the filter, the tent still gets up to 84F.. WTF?! It was staying below 80 with just a little clip-on fan and small inline fan pulling air out and nothing pushing air in.. Im using the smaller inline to pull air in and the new inline pulling air out.. Now it gets warmer.. I dont get it.. Gonna have to go back to my old setup I guess.. ... Even later that day... Put up the old ventalation.. But with extra fan still pulling in air.. Smell may be strong throughout my room when lights go out.. But oh well.. I love the smell. Tied down branches a little more.. They should be far enough to do what she needs to do.. Pistils are there.. Just very very small at this point.. But they are there on a couple branches lookin good and happy! 😊 no more leaf removing.. This is only my 3rd auto... Second auto is only halfway through flower now.. Sooo, I'm still learning!!!

*** for some reason it won't let me set the temps on my diary.. When I type it in and go about the diary is automatically changes to 50°F... Weird.. Btw, I was able to bring the temps down a little.. Mostly cuz we had a cold front and I hate running the heater lol.. Gonna hate when summer comes.. Ugh.. AaAaAnyways.. She's starting to get a little more bushy and little pistils at almost every node!!.. Shouldn't be much longer till the flower stretch!!! I'm beginning to think that when you top autos, it tends to make the plant flower later than it normally would.. As long as its a healthy growing plant, it shouldn't stunt any growth.. The roots just keep coming and coming.. The cup is not really restricting them either.. More roots than any photoperiod that I've grown in cups. But, as they come out of the drain holes, I just snip off the tips of the roots as they poke out.. Not really seeing any issues with doing that. All-in-all, I'm happy with her so far!! I believe I'm seeing some purple on the main stems.. But there is NO WAY that there is any Cal-Mag issues.. No spots on the leaves.. pH is perfect (even the run-off).. Nothing.. Just some streaks showing up on the main stems.. I'm guessing it's the purple coming out???... Not for sure on that.. Never grew a purple/red strain before.. I can't wait to see the colors this girl is going to produce! I went ahead and watered with just a 1/2 dose of CALiMAGic because the run-off ppm was getting up to about 1500ppm when I'm only feeding her at about 900-1000ppm.. Noticed very very minor burns on the leaf tips.. But again.. No issues with growth and no spots or off colors.. Day 37 and the cup was as light as air.. I think I should start watering/feeding twice a day.. The runoff is coming out 5.7pH and 1300ppm.. There MAY be a little salt build up... Or salt is starting to build up.. She is still healthy as fuck tho!!!.. Maybe I can feed in the AM and just a Cal-Mag watering in the PM... Hmmm... On another note.. The side branches are catching up to the tops! The crowns aren't filled with pistils yet.. But I'm thinking the beginning of flower, along with the stretch, will be later this week or early next week! CAN'T WAIT!!! I bet she's gonna have some gorgeous colors!! Day 38.. she is starting to show signs of, soon to be, pistils at the crowns.. I think she is gonna be flowering within the next 7 days or so.. I can't wait!!! 😊 😊 😊 Day 40 I think the stretch is starting!!! Also.. I'm waiting on a delivery which contains my new Mars Hydro TS 1000!!! I can't wait!!! Blurple makes me dizzy and gives me a headache.. 2 or 3 more days till it arrives! I just hope it doesnt get hotter than the Sunraise 1000 has been.. The Sunraise 1000 is a good light.. Ive pulled a couple nice yields.. But I hear sunlike is better.. By up to 30% better!!! I guess we shall see!!! Day 41 and she has for sure began to stretch.. The (future) colas are beginning to form with a bunch of little pistils and stiples at this point! She's gonna be a gorgeous little girlie! She is still super happy and healthy.. I've been watering/feeding twice daily now cuz the medium would be super dry and the cup would be super light if I waited 24 hours to water/feed.. But again.. She is happy.. I am happy 😊 😊 😊 Day 42 I got my new light!!! The MARS HYDRO TS 1000!!! Man this thing is AMAZING! It doesnt get as hot as my Sunraise 1000 as long as you keep a fan running on it.. The tent hasnt gotten over 77°F.. Just.. Wow.. And the footprint is pretty nice too! It covers my 32"×32"×64" tent perfectly.. The dimmer is kinda lame tho.. It's hard to find the damn screw inside there.. But other than that, this light is amazing.. IDK why the TS 600 I tried was so awful.. It almost seems like, with these lights, it's "hit or miss" when it comes to getting one that gets really hot.. Glad I got a good one this time. The blurple gets hard to look at.. Plus I can see all the imperfections on the plants now... Sorry to make this so long.. Amazon has banned me from leaving reviews and asking questions.. And they won't tell me why.. A**holes.. So, I felt I should leave the review here lol.. Anyways.. Happy and healthy week for the Bloody Skunk.. Colors should be poppin out soon!!!

Day 43.. Flowering has begun! Stretching and all! Can't wait to see the purple!!! Oh yeah.. Those purple streaks on the stem must have been some deficiency.. But it has not spread at all.. She's doing great.. Perfectly healthy and happy! 😊 Day 44.. The bottom braches were getting waaay too bunched together.. The colas that are gonna form would have been out of control.. So I had to remove a couple.. Not much.. But this is the last bit of cutting I'm doing until harvest.. The rest is up to her and what she wants to do. Day 47.. Wow she is a serious stretcher.. She has damn near tripled in size already! The knots at each node are huge too.. That's a good sign that she should be a heavy yielder!!! Still no purples.. But still a very gorgeous, happy and healthy girl!!! 😊😊 so glad that I ordered 7 more of these seeds lolol.. Seedsman is my go-to seed bank now.. Ordered on the Feb. 20th (also a leap year so 29 days in Feb.) and arrived here in the U.S. on March 4th... Very happy with them.. I loved using The Single Seed Centre but they ended up disappearing and turning into some seed bank that doesnt even carry other breeders.. Just their own strains.. I mean.. That's cool and all.. But I like to try different breeders as well.. My next diary, I'm going to grow ILGM's Blueberry photoperiod and Seedsman's Blueberry photoperiod to see how different they can be.. Maybe even throw in one of my Spliff Seeds Blue Berry photos if I have the room to lol Day 48.. Man she is already twice the size of the damn cup if not taller! The cup is FULL of roots and everything looks so healthy! She is gonna be a beauty! At this point, I wouldn't be mad if she never even turned purple!.. Not true.. I'm gonna be pissed.. Even tho I still have 9 more Bloody Skunk seeds lol.. This Mars Hydro TS 1000 is a BEAST! Even in the corner of the tent, the light is doing AMAZING things!.. So happy I got it.. Thinking about turning my old 2×2×4 ft. into a veg tent with my Sunraise 1000 (so I can just use the bloom switch so it won't run so hot)... Just a thought.. Not gonna jump right into it cuz the 2.6×2.6×5 ft. takes up alot of room in my room already.. Plus I'd need another exhaust fan and whatnot.. Meh.. Sorry for the blah blah blah.. I got tired of Facebook... and everyone on it.. (Not joking.. People suck) Only people I need in my life is my green eyed, red haired ladies!!! ❤️💚💜💙 Day 49.. So, I'm looking at everyone elses Bloody Skunk Autos.. Buuut mine looks different.. The pistils on the others are like short and thick.. Mine are long and thin.. And of course.. No purple.. I got these from The Single Seed Centre.. Now Im wondering why the website went dark.. I did order a few more Bloody Skunk seeds from Seedsman and GreyBeards tho.. Maybe those are legit if this isn't

Day 50.. Yeah I'm really startin to think this is not a Bloody Skunk seed... The pistils are thin and long.. All the other diaries I see on here, the pistils are short and thick.. And STILL NO PURPLE! Maybe I'm just being impatient.. Damnit Single Seed Centre.. I trusted you!! 😭😭😭💔💔💔 Yeah.. There is no way this is a Bloody Skunk.. SOB.. Im pissed.. Still gonna finish out this diary tho.. Day 51.. Buds are forming nicely on whatever this auto is.. They should be stacking very very soon.. She is a happy and healthy girl!!!... ...later that day... I removed more leaves.. Mostly lower fan leaves and some lower leaves and branches that I figured wouldn't create much of a bud nug... I believe she should have nothing but huge colas when harvest comes around! I did something stupid.. Day 52.. Supercropped the 2 taller braches to where the bend is even to the other 2 tops.. "Why did he?" You may be asking.. Why did I? I dunno lol.. Spur of the moment.. I've gotta learn to slow down and think sometimes.. I do great most of the grow.. But, all it takes is that one day that could fuck something (else) up.. I hope she's OK.. I may have hurt her.. They aren't broken off.. But look kinda beaten badly.. Bruised and mangled almost.. We shall see tomo with an update and a pic... Day 53.. Next day after supercropping... Not good results.. The stem looks even more weak and mangled than before.. The branches have SLIGHTLY started to curve back upward.. I don't know what I was thinking.. Shouldn't be a complete loss or anything.. But I'm regretting it now.. This was actually my first attempt at supercropping.. And looks like my last attempt lol.. Either slight bending or complete removal from now on.. Just barely started noticing trichomes emerging.. Not many at all yet.. Hopefully more soon.. Later that day... I went ahead and fixed by fuck up using garden wire (bread tie bs lol) to hold the branch up at a 90° angle. I guess I OVER supercropped her.. SuperDuperCropped or Ultracropped, if you wish to call it that.. Just hope she heals up soon.. Regretting it now... Went ahead and flushed her out and re-nuted her with some Armour Si (Silica) and Floralicious Plus (sea kelp.. Idk lol).. Hopefully, that should help her heal up quicker🤞🤞🤞 Day 56.. Yeah one branch is knotting up and getting stronger.. The other.. Not so much. Its makin a knot.. Above the break.. But its getting weaker.. The branch is still alive and thriving.. So I just taped it up to help support it to stand a little better.. Hope this helps... Other than that its been a slow week for growth.. Hope next week picks up and she starts stackin those nugs!!!

Day 57.. No more Silica. I dont like to use it in flower.. One branch is still super week.. I went ahead and taped it up.. The other branch is strong asf.. Doesnt look like it because the stem looks almost rotten.. But its still goin strong like the other healthy tops.. Not a fan of supercropping lol.. I just need to learn how to do it better I suppose.. You live and you learn... I went down a tad on the micro since it contains so much nitrogen.. My current grow, which im harvesting tomorrow, showed alot of nitrogen toxicity with "the claw"... And that was the ONLY source of nitrogen.. So, I'm going to see how it reacts to this grow if I bring it down just a little. Day 58.. The leaves were drooping this morning on the branch that was too weak so it was amputated.. Other than that.. The little buds are gonna start stackin into colas soon.. She's gonna be beautiful.. Trichomes are becoming more visible. When I rub my fingers on the leaves with the trichomes, it smells very fruity! Delicious.. Now, I'm curious what strain this could actually be? Is it even really from Sweet Seeds? Or another breeder? Or a bag seed? It's obviously an autoflower.. Curious.. Hmm 😒 Day 59.. She's got the tent to herself now.. So lonely.. I have started another photoperiod that I'm probably leave in the cup.. Or if this auto is finished in time I can transplant into a 5 gallon pot and use this Zkittles Glue from Expert Seeds to fill up my new tent for the first time and see what this light is capable of.. Too bad I cant find the strain on grow diares tho... ... later that day... I've noticed that the RHumidity has lowered since I harvested my other auto in a 5 gal fabric pot.. 5 gallons of moist coco coir in a fabric pot keeps it pretty humid.. Interesting.. I couldn't get it this low with a dehumidifier!... Rubbing my fingers on the triched out leaves, I smell.... Bubblegum!?!?!?.. Wtf.. Smells nice tho! Day 63.. She is startin to stack nicely! Smells so sweet and fruity! Gorgeous!!!

Day 64.. Just truckin along.. Noticed some nute burn on the leaf tips.. So im going back down to 1000ppm.. Plus the runoff was coming out at like 1700ppm at times.. Even after feed, water, water.. Maybe its just too much for a cup grow also.. Since the water is drunk up so quickly.. Im guessing all the salts are being left behind in the medium.. Plant is still healthy asf.. Calyxes should be fattening up pretty soon! Wish I knew what strain this was.. Ugh... Day 65.. Judging by the calyxes that have already swollen up.. These are gonna be some very nice, dense nugs.. Trichomes everywhere.. Seems like it may not be ready when they say Bloody Skunks are normally ready.. More like a sativa.. I really wish I would have got what I paid for.. For all I know this could be some CBD strain.. Ugh.. Still gonna grow it out and see what happens.. "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit" lol... ... Later... I been watering 2 - 3 times daily.. That's 1 negative thing about growing in cups.. This is my 3rd or 4th I've grown in a cup.. I'm impressed.. Although I do see it hurting yield slightly.. I guess we will see with what comes of this grow... Day 66.. Ok.. So maybe this is a Bloody Skunk... The leaves are starting to show purple.. The stems are deep dark purple in many spots.. Guess that different phenos can sometimes come out looking the exact opposite.. Still learning.. Whoops 😆 ... Later... She's chuggin water like crazy.. It has been pretty warm in the tent lately.. Hard to keep it down but 82F - 84F at the most.. But it sometimes will sit that high.. It has hit 86F - 88F.. I use 2 AcuRite Temp and Humidity Monitors.. One on top of the light and second just randomly placed in the corner on the pole about canopy height but both read only 1F difference. There are some leaves turning slightly purple.. Honestly, I think this light has been burning the tops.. Not very bad.. But I noticed alot of yellowing on my WW at the tops.. And just got worse toward the end.. And a little foxtailing as well, I think.. But I am seeing slight yellowing on the top leaves of this one.. Not bad.. But I do see it slightly.. Other than that.. And the abuse I have put her through.. She is happy and healthy asf.. Still not for sure but this very well may be a damn Bloody Skunk.. Let's see what happens... Day 68.. Just another day flowering.. Pistils are still white as can be.. Calyxes are still tiny but covered in trichomes.. The calyxes should start fattening up... Aaaany day now lol.. Seems like she's gonna be a long flowering girlie.. I've watered with just CalMag the last 3 days but the runoff PPM is still reading 900-1000.. Not sure whats going on.. Guess I should do a major flush and re-feed some time today. I'm thinking of trying out organic dry amendments in coco in the future.. Seems pretty simple.. Just need to time everything right which shouldn't be too difficult.. But anyways.. Its been a good week for the girl.. Nothing like keeping your lady happy! ... Later... I used a whole liter of pHed water without CalMag to flush and mixed up a new batch of nutes. I have added some Floralicious Plus to the mix also.. I'll note that on next weeks page. I only use 5 drops per Liter.. Which is about .25mL as it says to use.. Should help the trichome and terpene production. To be completely honest.. I'm not sure when to add Floralicious Plus.. After adding CalMag?? I've just been adding it after everything.. In this order... Silica, CalMag, Micro, Grow/Bloom, Bloom Booster, Floralicious Plus.. I havent noticed any lockout or anything.. So I guess it's working lol.. But I would still like to know the order it goes in case something starts fucking up. Day 69.. Not sure what these marks are.. It's only on this 1 leaf.. Noticed it yesterday and today it has gotten a little worse.. W... T... F... When I got home from work the tent got up to 90F.. The leaves looked lifeless.. I watered and got the temps down to 85F and 2 hours later she perked back up.. Scared me for a sec.. She's all good now.

Day 71.. She's doing good.. Noticing a little light burn.. I'm guessing.. cuz the tops of most canopys are yellowing.. The purpleing isnt spreading as much as the yellowing.. It stays pretty warm in my tent tho.. Ugh.. She's still nice and healthy tho.. Added some Floralicious Plus to the mix.. Hoping to help stregthen her up some (without using Silica in flower) to handle the heat and to help trichome and terpene production... As I stated last week... Day 73.. Gorgeous plant... Gorgeous flowers (even without the purple/red colors).. Gorgeous red stems.. Some pistils are beginning to turn.. Shouldn't be much longer! Smells is there.. But not overwhelming like some plants.. Also, not ALOT of trichomes.. But there are some there.. Still a gorgeous plant.. Calyxes are barely beginning to swell but the colas are already super dense... These are going to be some super nice nugs.. Can't wait!!! Day 74.. Whoops.. I dropped her last night.. All she did was bounce lol.. Didn't skip a beat.. Literally bounced.. Lost like a 1/4 inch of loose medium.. Luckily it landed in the big saucer I use for my 5 gal fabric smart pots.. So I just poured it back into the cup.. But damn.. One hardy ass plant.. Besides the SuperDuperUltraCropping I did one the branch that needed to be removed lol.. Other than that.. She is still truckin along.. Gorgeous as ever (could be prettier if she were all purple/red) but I'm happy with her.. Even the main stalk is starting to turn purple/red.. Sorry that I keep saying "purple/red" but that is what it looks like.. I wish my temps would get much lower at night so at least the leaves would change to fall colors.. Ugh.. I hate where I live.. Too hot and humid.. I think growing outdoors would NOT work either because it will literally get 100F+ just in the spring time.. I don't even wanna talk about the summer.. Smh.. We only have like a month of actual winter weather.. My point being, It is waaay too hot for these plants to be grown outdoors.. I kinda wanna try one tho.. Just to see what would happen... 🤔🤔🤔 Day 76.. Pistils are about 50/50 of whatever it is they do toward the end lol... Calyxes have kinda started to swell.. Judging by the calyxes that are older (the first ones that showed on the plant), these colas are gonna be extremely dense! They are already dense asf!!!.. Rock solid.. I can't wait to flush and harvest. I've started checking the trichomes.. And already alot of them are cloudy/milky! I hope I don't start the flush too late.. I still would like to wait till most of the pistils do what they do at the end of flower.. But, I have seen people harvest with the pistils still white and whatnot.. So, maybe I should just keep checking the trichomes.. I have even noticed a couple amber.. I guess I will start flushing after 1 more week of feeding.. Hmm.. Or.. Hmmm.. Damn, I'm not good at this.. I'll just start flushing this coming up week.. Even if I flush for 3 or 4 weeks.. I just want to make sure I flush for at least 2 weeks.. If anybody is paying attention out there.. Help me decide, please! Lolol.. I'll get some good close ups of the trichomes tomorrow! ... Later that night... Yeah I couldn't wait.. Wanted to get some trichome pics in.. Yeah I can find a few amber.. But still has a week before flushing in my opinion.. The roots are turning green toward the bottom.. Im using a white MCD cup so I'm sure some light is still getting to the roots.. Which should shut people up about roots not liking light.. Well.. Maybe they don't like light.. But they can deal with it.. Proof is in the puddin... Don't knock it till you try it.. And stop repeating what you've read or heard from someone else.. That is one of my pet peeves lol.. Anyways.. Yeah.. I'll do a half dose of feedings for one more week then start the 2 week flush! Can't wait! Some calyxes are showing slight purpling.. My night temps don't get very low.. And day temps are super high.. But as long as she is happy.. I'm happy.. Happy wife.. Happy life lol.. I would marry Mary Jane for sure!... Day 77.. It's the end of the world.. I mean.. Week (Corona Virus lol). She is drinking like a fucking alcoholic! When I go to work I have to leave some of the runoff in the runoff (McD) cup so she can have something to drink for 6 - 8 hours! And when I get home the medium is still dried out as if I had not even watered in the morning! I have to do this 3 times a day.. I also check the runoff PPM.. So that I know if I need to feed or just water the next time.. I've been keeping the runoff at about 1000-1200 PPM when feeding and I don't let it go under 700 PPM when watering. I WAS mixing CALiMAGic with the bottle that is just water (not feed) but the PPM would not drop like it should.. It would go from 1200 PPM to 1500 PPM.. So now I just used pH'd water at 6.1 - 6.3 for just the waterings.. and of course the nutes when its time to feed.. I have been using 6.1 - 6.3 pH her whole life cuz it seems to be the magic number for me.. When I go down to 5.8 she starts to show calcium def. But in flower she is a heavy drinker for sure! Now... On to the next week!!!.....

Day 78.. Just doing a half dose of feed this week but keep the Floralicious Plus at what I've been keeping it at which is the lowest I can measure out anyway.. Then start the flush next week. There are alot of cloudy/milky trichomes.. Still a little clear.. I can find a couple amber if I really look.. Even if I have to flush for an extra week.. Oh well.. She is gettin thick.. The tops are rock hard.. Even the bottom nugs are pretty tight.. Not rock hard but still pretty dense.. Especially compared to my White Widow Auto from ILGM.. Such airy, Sativa like (Like Dr. Grinspoon almost) type nugs.. You can actually see the stems between each calyx.. Still a nice smoke tho.. But this girl is producing some nice nugs! I can't wait!!! Still not much purpling.. But my night temps are crappy for that.. Ugh.. The A/C can only work so hard with this light.. Its an amazing light.. And I think adding fans just makes it even hotter in my tent.. Wonder if I just removed a couple that aren't doing much if it would cool off some in there... Hmm.. Day 79.. Still doin her thing.. The reds in the stems are so vivid.. I'm starting to see some of the tips of calyxes turn kinda redish/purplish. Hard to get a pic of it.. But I'm sure by next week, if not later this week, they should show some more.. Hopfully.. Pistils are still 50/50.. Trichomes are still mostly cloudy/milky.. Gonna be some super dense nugs.. The smell is there.. But not as strong as others I've had. Still pretty happy with this one! Day 80.. I have noticed quite a bit more purpling on fan leaves... Interesting.. Some on a few calyxes.. But more purpling on the fan leaves.. I think this is gonna be a very gorgeous harvest... Just weird that out of 95% of plants that are purple/red.. My first Bloody Skunk happened to be the 5% that doesn't have purple/red flowers.. The stems are just amazingly red tho.. Crazy... Day 81.. I've noticed the past 2 mornings.. She is giving off alot more smell! And starting to purple on the leaves.. Even without cool nights lol.. Such a gorgeous plant. Day 82.. It's kinda crazy how the purple is just multiplying all of a sudden.. Even some calyxes have began to show it too.. Guess she is just a late bloomer? And it's crazy how she is still not close to harvest.. W.. T.. Fuck.. Most Bloody Skunks would have been well overdone by now.. There are still some amber popping up here and there.. But the pistils are looking a little more on the 75% done side now, I suppose.. The fan leaves are slowly yellowing.. I've noticed it for at least a week now.. Even before I went down to half dosing the nutes.. She's still doing amazing things.. I love growing.. So fun and a good way to learn patience! I'm thinking of ditching the Kushie Kush bloom booster from Advanced Nutrients and just sticking to the General Hydroponics stuff.. The Liquid Kool Bloom.. Just to keep everything General Hydroponics.. People hate on it so much.. But I'm liking the results I'm getting.. I really wanna try hydroponics AND organic dry amendments at one point.. Just to see where the best results come from.. I'm assuming that hydroponics (DWC) will be a bigger producer but organic dry amendments in coco will produce better terpene profiles... Anybody else got any input on that??? Lol does anybody even read all this shit I'm typing?? Or do y'all just look at the pics, like I do? LmAo! Day 82.. Almost at end of week 6 of flower.. She smells disgusting lol.. Not really like a skunky smell.. I guess more of like a gassy smell.. Kinda hard to figure it out.. Allergy season 😆 she is doing some amazing things tho. Day 84.. End of week.. Still happy and healthy.. When will this girly be done already! I put up a pic of all the under carriage in all its red/purple coloring.. Caylxes are still beginning to purple themselves.. I should be able to get a better pic next week.. Tomorrow probably lol.. Some bottom leaves are yellowing.. The top of the plant has the fan leaves yellowing and purpling in between veins.. It's crazy how much more I learn each grow.. The White Widow Auto from ILGM I finished up with 2 weeks of curing.. And all I can say is WOW.. but thats mostly me learning a new way to dry and cure.. I like it.. Kinda like a slow transition from drying to curing.. Lol kinda adds to drying days imo too which is helpful for terpenes.. MmMmM is all I can say lol.. On to the next week!

Day 85 ... Yellowing is still slowly spreading.. The purples are a little, too.. Pistils are about 75% done. Trichomes are still showing "it may be awhile"... Maybe one more week of slight feeding and then 2 week flush??.. Or just Floralicious Plus for one more week.. Then 2 week flush??? Or just flush that shit till she's done?????... What to do.. What to do... I think I may go with just some Floralicious Plus for another week.. Work up those terpenes!!! I've been having to water 3-4 times a day.. And I let the runoff cup fill up also.. So she has extra juice if shes thirsty.. Still having to water AT LEAST 3 times a day.. The one time I did it twice a day, it showed.. She was droopy and very sad looking.. That only happened once to show me to not play around with her like that lol Day 86... Man she is taking FOREVER!!! WTF?!? lol.. This whole plant has produced golf gall sized nugs.. Not one node that isnt the size of a golf ball or a little bigger lol.. noW foR tHe cOlOrS, pLeAsE?!?! Day 87.. Lol yeah I am beginning to suspect that I may have began flushing a little too soon.. So I upped the Floralicious Plus.. From .25mL per L to .5mL per L... Hope I didn't start flushing too too early.. Damn she is taking her "sweet" time.. Makes sense, I guess lol I will try to get a few good trichome pics and maybe someone out there can help me out.. Idk why but I'm having difficulty making out (that's what she said) alot of the trichomes.. I can for sure see some cloudy.. But I think I am also seeing quite a bit of clear still.. Damn these eyes.. I swear they were mostly cloudy the last 2 weeks.. Rookie ass move lol Day 88.. She is yellowing more and more each day.. Today it is very noticable.. But there are still alot of white pistils.. Trichomes are... Meh.. I'll know better next week I suppose.. Smells are so... I guess skunky.. Like, it stinks 😆 I like it lol.. Purples are spreading much like the yellowing.. I have never started a flush so early.. Or had a plant yellow off like this.. I hope I'm not doing it wrong this time... Such a gorgeous lady... Day 89.. Smells nice.. Starting to smell a bit berryish.. The main tree trunk is now starting to even turn red/purple.. Fuckin crazy.. I never had a plant do that before. Gorgeous colors.. Even the yellowing leaves are still turning a bit purple.. And now calyxes are turning purple beginning from the tips and growing toward the base of the calyxes... Ive had strains turn late in flower like this.. But it seems to be multiplying quite a bit compared to others at this point.. I love how these girls look with the fall colors on 😍😍🤗 just did a few slight feeds with just 5 - 7 drops/L of Floralicious Plus.. The last bottle (lasts about 2 - 3 days) I have also added 1mL/L of Kushie Kush bloom booster from Advanced Nutrients because I feel I began to flush too early.. Damn she is taking forever.. Most people harvested like 6 or 7 weeks of flowering.. I think this is showing more of her Sativa side.. Maybe? Gonna probably be 9 or 10 weeks.. I cannot get over how gorgeous she is!!!... Day 90.. So gorgeous.. Fall colors are everywhere.. Last 2 days of feeding anything.. Next week beginning the 2 week flush! Trichomes are still not looking done.. But if I need to I guess I could just flush another week. As I stated before... Later... I went ahead and removed the bottom-most fan leaves that were pretty yellow and just hours from falling off impo lol.. But yeah.. Still been watering/feeding 3 - 4 times a day. When the next week begins, I'm going to flush an entire L of pH'd water to bring the TDS down to 300 PPM or less.. Will use a 2nd L if needed to get it down that low but past experiences showed that 1L should be plenty.. And just pH'd water from then till harvest! Day 91.. It got up to 90F inside the tent.. Damn.. We just had a cool front so that should help keep it down. Yeah I think I began to flush too early. Crap... This is only my 3rd autoflower. First 2 were done at 14 weeks from seed.. This one seems like it could take 15, 16.. Hell maybe even 17 weeks.. Live and learn... On to the next!...

Day 92.. Removed some more yellow leaves.. Just the ones that pretty much just fell off with slight tug.. I figure if it comes off that easily its probably not doing much else good and is gonna fall off soon anyway.. But still left some yellows that were still on pretty tight. The pics of the trichomes don't do much justice in my opinion. Its a 60x and I zoom all the way in with my phone camera.. I can spot a couple amber.. Not many but a couple.. I'm thinking another 2 weeks and there should be AT LEAST 5% amber.. If a little more than 5%,that's fine with me also.. The older calyxes are beginning to purple.. From the tips growing towards the base of each calyx.. The couple of amber trichomes I can find are in the purple parts of the calyxes. It seems almost like the calyxes that have white pistils are foxtails.. I could be wrong.. Its not alot but they are newer calyxes it seems.. I try not to check those trichomes cuz they arent even cloudy yet.. Anybody got their 2 cents on that??.... Day 93.. Happy 4/20/2020 you guys! I should have started this from the beginning.. But I'm going to start flushing with distilled water pH'ed to 6.1 - 6.3.. I already have some declorinizated (lol jk) (declorinated) tap water waiting to be pH'ed and used.. Not that disposing it wouldn't be losing out on much of anything. So, probably about the middle of this week, I should start using the distilled water.. Trying to get the runoff TDS as low as possible.. For AT LEAST a good 7 days.. The fan leaves are pretty much all sucked dry of their nutrients as far as I can tell.. The warmth has been causing the dying leaves to curl upward.. As they die.. Which I'm not too worried about.. The terpenes are still there.. Such a fun experience.. I'm thinking of using a few 32 OZ cups are start 2 Fast Buds Blackberry Autos and 2 Fast Buds Purple Lemonade Autos.. Make sure I get some purple buds this next time.. Like a little SOG 32 OZ cup thing goin on.. Just a thought.. Haven't got it all figured out yet.. Ive got 100's of seeds being safely stored in my refrigerator and ready to blossom into gorgeous lovely ladies! **just a stoned post today.. Lol... Happy 420!*** Day 94.. Just another flush day.. Gonna just use some tap water 6.2 pH and the TDS already reads 230-240 PPM.. But in another 2 days I should have started on the distilled water (0-10 PPM) also pH'd between 6.1 and 6.3 pH. 95 % of the stems, including the main stalk, are red.. It's pretty cool looking. The pics barely do any justice. The smells are intensifying, as well.. One gorgeous plant... Day 95.. Just such a GLORIOUS girl is all I can say.. The fan leaves have faded into red.. The stems turned red as fuck.. The calyxes are beginning to turn purple. I've got like 7 or 8 more of these seeds.. I can't wait to see the other phenotypes!!! Day 96!!! Damn this is taking for-fucking-ever.. Wtf.. Well I have noticed a few more amber trichomes! Finally!!! I can only spot some amber at the very top of each main cola. The bottom of each cola is still showing some clear/cloudy.. Lower branches still look a little clear/cloudy.. Hopefully, my timing is just right! So, so freaking gorgeous!!!.. She smells a bit musty.. Not like a bad rotten smell or anything.. But like a certain type of skunkish smell lol.. Not sure how else to try and explain it lol. I'm sure it will change during and after drying and curing.. Of course. But as of right now.. The smell is a little off to me.. Strong.. But not your typical cannabis sativa indica type smells. Still so in LoVe with this lady! Day 98.. Damn almost 100 days from seed.. Trichomes are gettin there.. There are alot of cloudy.. For sure some more amber since last week.. I think 1 more week would be perfect. Got colas floppin over lol.. I love that issue tho.. Still smells wretched lol.. But dank.. I stopped pH'ing the water because I am just using distilled water now. When I add 1 drop of pH down it takes it down to 5.2 or some super acidic number.. That's crazy.. I think it has something to do with distilled water not containing any ions in the water.. Some shit I read on the manual I that came with my Apera pH meter.. So I might use tap water that was ran thru a Britta Water filter next time.It brings my tap water from 230-240 PPM down to 160 PPM when ran thru this filter.. Plus my bottles are left with bubbles like tap water normally will leave.. And the filter brings the tap water down from like 7.7pH down to about 6.5 - 6.7 pH.. These little filters are kinda cool.. Now just hoping that they last.. I wish I had an RO filter but I dont and its almost impossible for me to get and use one here.. But this works fine for me. One thing I noticed tho.. Our city does NOT use chlorine... And they dont tell us what they use.. But it says on our yearly water testing records that they use a "non-chlorine sanitizer" whatever the fuck that is.. Shady ass mf's lol.. This week is coming close to the end. Hope you guys enjoy the video I made today!!!

Day 99.. Wow that's alot of days lol.. Colas can't even stand up.. Buds are sooo dense.. She smells fruity when you squeeze a nug.. Hopefully more amber trichomes in 7 days.. Does anybody know if the trichomes change on a week to week basis.. Or can they change on a day to day basis? Or does it take 30 days to notice any change? I hope somebody can answer that for me in the comments.. Anyways.. This is the last 7 days of her life.. Not going to do any of that 48 hours darkness crap cuz honestly I think it's BS.. But maybe I'm wrong.. I just didnt notice any difference when I let one plant stay under light for 48 hours more while I put another plant in complete darkness.. Didnt even check on her.. And yeah.. Nothing really changed as far as I could tell and both ladies got me just as stoned.. So I choose not to do the darkness stuff.. But I do stop watering and let the medium dry out so I can also remove the rootball and check it out during harvest without having to worry about wet medium when I do it.. Lol *** I ordered the 2 bags of organic dry amendments of Earth Dust.. I requested a refund before it was even shipped. They refunded my money and 2 days later still SHIPPED the 2 bags of Earth Dust Organic Dry Amendments.. They claim 1 mix of the soil for the seedling.. 1 top dress for bloom transition and 1 more top dress of bloom till harvest*** I'm guessing they mean autoflower? What if you double the length of veg for a photoperiod? Can you top dress the veg once more? ***Thegreensunshinecompany dot com*** Wanted to try it out but changed my mind.. But I got my money back and the product.. Guess Ill try it out if they want me to so bad lol.. Day 100.. Took some pics of trichomes and found these things that look like seeds.. My last 2 autos had these too. There is no way.. I dont see any nanners.. Or male flowers at all.. I disected one.. I dont think its a seed.. Yet at least.. Maybe like the egg waiting to get pollinated?? No idea lol.. Anybody else got 2 cents on that?? Day 103.. Almost there!!! The trichomes haven't changed much.. She smells very skunky.. Also very very sticky. Colas are just floppin around all over the place lol. This is the first plant I've grown that has had colas too heavy for the branches.. What a great issue to have tho! The calyxes have purpled alot.. I removed alot of little leaves that were crispy and ready to fall off.. Not many leaves to work with thanks to her very high calyx to leaf ratio! Purple, stinky, sticky buds.. I can't wait!!!!... Almost freaking there!!!..... Later... I removed alot of leaves that were just dying off.. And took more pics lol.. 2 more days and 1 night.. Then harvesting her.. If you look close enough you can actually see a few amber trichomes glistening in the video toward the end some.. Gorgeous, gorgeous plant..... Day 104... Almost almost ALMOST FREAKING THERE!!!..... Day 105.. Got alot of trichome pics.. So beautiful.. She will be harvested on day 107.. Might do the 48 hours of darkness.. But ai dont want her to dry out too much.. I want to make sure she gets alot of days drying before curing.. Everything seems to be lined up perfect woth this girly.. I wonder if I could even let her go another week.. But my patience wont let that happen lol.. I almost harvested beginning of this week lol.. She is going to be perfect!!! Day 106.. Yeah I know.. this should have started week 16.. But Im harvesting tomorrow.. If I didn't have work I would have harvested today.. Maybe I should have tried atleast 24 hours of darkness.. Meh.. Whatever.. She is still gonna be dank as fuck regardless! So colorful! So stinky! So sticky!!!.. I can't wait till tomorrow.. So excited! Sucks that I can't smoke it after its dry.. But that's just more bud to savor after the cure!!! Anyways.. She comes down tomorrow! Got my cardboard box ready! Same box I used for the White Widow Auto from ILGM I harvested a couple months ago.. She is pretty exquisite herself!!! So excited.. So so excited!!!...

She was grown in a 24 oz. cup with NO ISSUES.. Which leads me to believe that "rootbound" is nothing but a myth.. I have grown 4 other girls in even smaller cups.. Same outcome.. No issues whatsoever.. I will be updating more as the harvest progresses.. Im going to dry and cure the same way I did the White Widow I recently harvested.. Which is.. In the box I will run the fan for 24 - 48 hours.. Once I notice the plant is beginning to shrivel up some I will stop using the fan and go with how the buds feel.. I would rather jar them up too early because if the hygrometer reads 70% humidity then I can just lay her out for another few hours and jar her back up.. Once she is able to sit in the jar and doesnt go over 68% than i will only burp once every 2 or 3 days for about a week.. It all depends how dry she gets before curing.. Not going to count my chickens before they hatch.. That is just the way I have been able to dry and cure without ruining any terpenes since my environment is not all that great for drying and curing cannabis.. Anyways.. Will be updating as I go!!! So happy and excited.. But when I wake up I already know that Im going to jump up to check on her in the tent like I have been for the past 106 days lol.. Anyways.. Will be updating!!! Day 108.. About 20 hours after harvesting.. She is still smelling lovely.. In the past it would start smelling like hay.. But I've figured out how to slow the drying process down with my awful environment.. I also cut the fan off for now.. I may cut it back on later today or tomo.. We shall see!!! Day 109.. About 48 hours of drying.. Not sure if its the box I'm smelling along with the skunk.. But it's kinda smelling a bit weird.. Almost hay like.. Ugh.. I will be PISSED if I ruined this one.. Stems are still super bendy.. Not even close to snapping.. I'm going to leave the fan off for now.. The warmth in the room the box is in is probably enough to help dry.. Hopefully not gonna dry too fast.. Leaves are still not crisp.. So that's another good sign.. We will see what happens!!! So excited to give this nasty bitch a taste!!! Day 4 of drying (after harvest)... Ok.. So I havent been noting anything down.. But this is what has happened so far.. The plant was pretty much dry on the 3rd morning.. Or so it felt.. Crispy.. Smaller stems were snapping.. So I put it in jars.. I havent weighed it yet tho.. Will do that later.. But after about 12 hours in the jars (3 Qt sized jars btw) the hygrometers were reading 72%, 74% and 78%.. So I left them out overnight for about 16 hours or so.. Maybe not even that long.. I put them in jars early this morning and left for work.. After about an hour or 2 in the jars, they were reading about 56% - 57%.. I hope I didnt over dry them overnight.. I went ahead and grabbed a nice sized nug to teat out for today.. Stoned asf.. Thats for sure.. But the smoke is still pretty harsh.. I can smell the skunk for sure still.. Its actually really stinky lol.. Like, not an attractive smell whatsoever lol.. But its for sure the terpenes.. Not any issues with them.. But when I get home.. I'll be able to get a better, longer reading on the huds today after last nights drying... ... Later.. Ok so one jar is reading at 62% second jar is reading 57% and the last jar is ready 54%... They all still smell great : 1: but I'm wondering if a nug from the 62% jar is not going to be as harsh as the jar at 54%.. Hmm.. May try that out later tonight.. ... Even later.. Lol So yeah the 62% jar is much smoother.. No harshness whatsoever.. Ok.. I see where I make my mistakes.. But can still save the smells and tastes.. Im sure the other jars will eventually lose the harshness.. I hope.. My Berry Ryder never lost any harshness.. That was harvested and a little overdried like over 6 months ago.. Still harsh.. But this strain doent smell like hay.. The worst smell you can smell when it comes to drying and curing.. For me atleast.. If it smells like hay.. The tepenes are long gone lol.. I have had my first 3 harvests come out like f'n hay.. But I think I got it figured out.. For the most part.. Just need to get better temps in drying.. Hmm.. Fuck it.. Maybe even use a evaporative cooling humidifier in the room with it.. Not in the box (obviously cuz the one I got would fill the drying box pretty much.. Its huge asf).. Load it up with ice daily.. Damn I forgot I had that thing.. I need it for my tent now actually.. Got a 20oz cup with a 4 week old ZkittleZ Glue (Photoperiod) from Expert Seeds.. Not even flowering yet that already smells dank asf.. Flippin it in the next few couple days actually.. Dont have a diary on her tho..anyhoo.. Will be updating and adding some updated pics in the AM... About 4 days of curing... Well each jar is a bit different.. I am noticing that jar #1 is at 63% humidity and smells dank as fuuuuck.. No need for any humidity pack.. At least not right now. Jar #2 is at 58% humidity with a humidity pack and it smells pretty danky as fucky too.. But not as strong as jar #1.. And jar #3 is at 55-56% humidity with a humidity pack and doesnt really smell much.. It does.. But for sure not as strong as jar #1 and #2.. Which brings me to my next issue.. I bought these Integra Boost 62% Humidity Packs... They worked well about 6 months ago.. I left these others sealed up and protected for ANYTHING.. and now they fucking suck.. Is there a time limit on these fuckers? Does Boveda 62 Packs do the same shit??? Ugh.. Wasted money like a mf'r.. If I took the packs out of jar #2 and #3 it would not change the humidity whatsoever.. I thought they would at least do SOMETHING.. a couple more digits up.. But hell no.. I even handled the fuck out of them hoping to stir em up and "active" em or some shit lol.. But nope.. Nothing.. These things suck.. Boveda 62 is my next purchase.. But I'll wait for my next harvest.. Smh.. Maybe if I double up they will work better? Such a fucking waste.. It was about 65 or 66 grams all together.. I already smoked about a gram to try it out.. So now ill just say its 64 grams. Not bad for a 24 oz cup grow in my opinion... By the way.. Integra Boost 62% Humidity Packs SUCK!!!. They did work the first time I used them. But about 30 - 60 days later I used 2 more gor these jars.. And it cant keep anything above what it naturally was in the jar.. Sometimes I feel like mixing them up in their package.. Like crumpling the whole thing up and moving all the gel, or whatever thats inside, around to help.. Activate it?? Lol it brought it up 1%.. Thats it.. I even put 4 of them in a jar of bud that was already 58%.. With all 4 Integra Boost packs.. 60% on a good day lol.. Boveda packs too a few days to start working.. But ai had to kinda "activate" them as well.. After 4 days of "activating" and NOW the jars are 62% - 63% from natually about 57% and 58%... The third jar is natually at 62% - 63% so I just burp that one once a week.. Smells so super skunky! Tastes amazing.. Nugs are pretty dense also.. Lots of red hairs (dead pistils) which kinda help for the bag appeal more than anything.. As a kid growing up.. I always thought it was the hairs that got you high.. I also thought that you could just plant them outside anytime of the year.. And that the thc was stored in the roots.. Thats why they hang plants upside down.. So my first couple harvests as a kid (2 grams max and only flowered for probably 5 weeks if not only 4) and hug the entire plant upside down including the dirty ass roots that I had in the mud ai was using to grow them in. Smh.. What was I thinking?!?! Haha... Anyways.. Boveda packs are working.. Integra Boost packs stop working if you dont use them up within a month.. Smh.. Trash.. Fucking trash
