Tuesday 06.16.20 / Day 7 of Flowering - Fed and watered plants with Rootwise Mycrobe Complete instead of Recharge, took some great pictures for the update.
Monday 06.15.20 / Day 6 of Flowering - nothing to report, just great progress with their growth.
Sunday 06.14.20 / Day 5 of Week 6 Flowering, just a lazy grow room day, wanted to post an update of how well these Autflowers responded, after yesterday's massive torture :) now on cruise control, hope to see some chunky nugs!
Saturday 06.13.20 / Day 4 of Week 6 Flowering Today I went chop-chop on the plants, I did their last MAIN training, bending and loli-popping, the pots were light so I fed them well, I finished off their day at the spa with a bit of MammothCannControl mixed with Optic's OverGrow, this can be used during lights on, after a pretty careful inspection of several leaves I did not see any living Spider Mites and only a very few dead ones, they turn very dark brown, I am very happy and feel that I can do down to a once every two weeks treatment (Yay!!)
Friday 06.12.20 / Day 3 of Week 6 of Flowering plants are just thriving, love this training process, today is feeding and the watering day will also treat with CannControl
Wednesday 06.10.20 Day 1 of Week 6 Flowering / just a quick update - topped this plant above the 6th node and when they grew out topped them again less than 5 days, I then topped the 2 side branches at the 5th node right below the 6th Node, cleaned all the side branching leaving 8 perfect colas, all this occurred during the 4th week, with that said week 5 was a recovery week and towards the end started to flower. now the girl is starting to flower and slightly stretching, I am sure I stunned these girls but I am hoping that it produces a nice grow, time will tell.
🌞 Environment / trying to maintain 80f Day / 72F nights - great airflow - light at about 30 inches 100%
💧 Feeding / BioBiz - Mammoth P and Recharge
🍃 Training / calling it Quick Line
🕷️ IPM / Revolving between, Green Cleaner and Mammoth Canncontrol these plants also had a few Spider Mites
Wednesday 06.17.20 Day 1 of Week 7 / Quick check on ladies today, environment dialed in, no issues noted, took pictures and posted, tomorrow is Feeding and Watering Day / I may go ahead and do another round of IPM to make sure I do not have a reoccurrence of those Spider Mites. Yesterday Wife was helping in the grow room and dropped a fan on plant #1 and broke the main manifold, tape and wire she doses not looking like she is losing ground, you can see the tape.
Thursday 06.18.20 Day 2 of Week 7 / Just a quick feeding/watering
Friday 06.19.20 Day 3 of Week 7 / Today I did a quick treatment with Mammoth CannControl pot felt heavy so no watering
Saturday 06.20.20 Day 4 of Week 7 / Fed Watered - Looked at Leaves for Bugs - All Looked Well
Sunday 06.21.20 Day 5 of Week 7 / Observations today - All within Scope
Monday 06.22.20 Day 6 of Week 7 / Plants are looking like a small amount of potassium excess - Adjusting with plan H20 PHed at 6.2 for a few days,
Tuesday 06.23.20 Day 7 of Week 7 / More PH H20
=======WEEKLY GOALS =======
🌞Environment / Maintain temperatures, humidity, as plants continue to grow and pack on bud weight will have to keep lights at the proper height.
💧 Feeding / Plants are looking like a small amount of potassium excess - Adjusting with plan H20 PHed at 6.2 for a few days,
🍃Training / Keeping an eye on side branching while allowing the plant to grow stress-free, first time doing Nugg-Buckets
🕷️ IPM / Moving to 1x per month, Green Cleaner" 1 OZ per Gallon, to ensure that the Spider Mites stay gone.
💧 Feeding / Plants are looking like a small amount of potassium excess - Adjusting with plain H20 PHed at 6.2 until plants respond / newer leaves looking much better.
Thursday 06.25.20 - Day 1 of Week 8 of Flower / Contenu watering with De-Chlorinated H20 PHed @ 6.2
Saturday 06.27.20 - Day 3 of Week 8 of Flower / Contenu watering with De-Chlorinated H20 PHed @ 6.2 - plants are still growing and doing well aside from the nutrient burn on several of the leaves. The buds are starting to grow, I would not be surprised to see this plant go 10/12 weeks.
Sunday 06.28.20 - Day 4 of Week 8 of Flower / Contenu watering with De-Chlorinated H20 PHed @ 6.2
Monday 06.29.20 - Day 5 of Week 8 of Flower / Contenu watering with De-Chlorinated H20 PHed @ 6.2
Tuesday 06.30.20 - Day 6 of Week 8 of Flower / Contenu watering with De-Chlorinated H20 PHed @ 6.2, moved the plants around and gave them their own light, elevated plants to light - the buds are truly getting fat, and the whole plant is getting stick with Trichomes.
Wednesday 07.01.20 - Day 7 of Week 8 of Flower / Contenu watering with De-Chlorinated H20 PHed @ 6.2
Thursday 07.02.20 = Day 1 of Week 9 Flowering / Plants are still showing signs of the Excess Potassium but the plants are still growing and the buds are still getting fat - I am afraid if I flush I will really set things back, today I am letting the pots dry up, and I am brewing a big bucket of compost tea, will water with this in the morning.
Friday 07.03.20 - Day 2 Week 9 Flowering / Plants are going great every day the buds continue to fatten up and get a bit longer, they are pushing past 5 inches, today I watered all my plants with Boogie Brew, it was a free sample, I like my own homemade compost teas :)
Saturday 07.04.20 - Day 3 Week 9 Flowering / Struggling with Temps and Humidity going to have to get a bigger AC unit - lots of hot days ahead. Uploaded more pictures, the plants are doing well, buds are getting fat!
Sunday 07.05.20 - Day 4 Week 9 Flowering / Continuing to feed with reduced BioBiz regiment
Monday 07.06.20 - Day 5 Week 9 Flowering / Continuing to feed with reduced BioBiz regiment
Tuesday 07.07.20 - Day 6 of Week 9 Flowering / Continuing to feed with reduced BioBiz regiment

Wednesday 07.22.20 / HARVEST DAY Here is a sample Pre Harvest Rep[ort / Check back in a few weeks for more details!
🌞 Environment: Temp at 66F RH at 58% will need to get that down.
Buds were exceptionally large between 6 to 8 inches; I would say averaging about 6 inches.

Monday 07.20.20 - Day 5 of Week 11 Flowering / Watering with PHed H20 6.2, will be checking Trichomes with USB Microscope, to determine harvest date, should be within the next 7 to 10 days.
Topped and created an 8 cola mainline, the overall growth was very nice, but I am at crossroads with these autos, less is more with them. The last run without all this training performed so much better!
The buds just never fattened up, these were a bit airy, next time I just let them rip and see how it goes. Started with 540 Grams / Yielded only 102 Grams, was a very tight trim, buds do look very good! I will grow these again, very soon. These buds will cure for another few weeks, the smell is awesome!
Thanks @Pajersey13, aside from the excess potassium i think they would even look better, I hope to carry that training process over to my MrJones FastBuds Gelato Grow #4 Grow, The buds at least are starting to get chunky though :0), just do not want to flush out all the microbes but suppose I will if by Tuesday they do not look better! You're Gorilla Glue looks badass and I am very excited to each the fruity pebbles grow, I may have to try that soon.
Thanks, @Dday314, just took a peek at them after work today and they are all pointed up and growing - should be the last real training I have to do to them they should just produce some buds, and hope they get chunky, going to start 5 fresh seeds today and plan on the same training process, will try and document close - thanks so much for the like and looking at the diary :)
Ive got 2 auto seeds I usually dont top but I wanna try, this gives me hope.Was nervous if I topped more than twice i'm stressing her out. Do you top in more than once place a session or do you do 1 and allow it to recover?Obviously this would only occur the second or third time topping.
@ChefSpliff, I have always been ruff on my Autos, all I have truly grown, until recently "My Jedi Kush Grow" I find as long as the plants are growing fast then you can ruff them up a bit, this process requires only toping the main cola 2 times and the 2 side branches directly under the 1 time, truly whole process and recover should be less than a week, Week 4 seems to be the sweet spot, as in week 5 these girls often flower and the stretch is used to drive the manifolds - again this is only the first 2 attempts at this but will know more after these next seeds get planted.
I am also in the culinary industry!
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌
Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
Looks nice and frosty ! How did you find your results topping and mainlining an auto vs just LST? Did you find it created a lot of stress for it or handled pretty well?
Looks like a successful grow to me!
@MrJones, Hmm gotcha! I have always topped autos for some reason, should run one without topping and just lst to compare. I just recently switched from a peat mix with plastic pots to fabric with coco/perlite and love it. I find my plants are able to build bigger root systems and quicker than my old soil setup. Good luck with the ventures sir!
@@CloneKingz, I have been brutal on auto flowers, the ones that grow hard anyway, have to pick and choose your warriors carefully, this plant was topped but not mainlined, you see I let it get 6 nodes, the side branching on the 3rd and 4th node was really nice so I topped above the 4th node, then topped the 2 sides branching there and again on the side branching at the 3 nodes, each one of the 4 side branches produced 2 colas that I fashioned into the manifold look, all this was done before the end of the 4th week, by the end of the 5th week we had flower and the stretch - honestly they looked great but the yield was meh. So I will try the same process in an upcoming Cream mandarin Grow, thinking to grow 2/3 plants in COCO Coir using MEGACROP and see the difference between, I am just not a huge fan any longer of salt-based nutrients. Setting up a drain system to measure run off, PPM, EC seems like a pian, but nothing ventured nothing gained.
So beautiful 🏵️
I was thinking to grow this strain but I have small growroom 40x40 cm, so I have decided to grow fasberry now. If it's not hard for you, could you please measure width of the plant? Maybe I will try this strain next.
@MrJones, 14 inches across not so big for my growbox. I think it will fit perfectly. Thanks for your answer and your dairies really cool. So detailed and interesting :)
Thanks! @VanillaBud, the way I have this plant trained it is about 12 inches high and 12 to 14 inches across, each but is about 4 to 6 inches tall and 2 to 4 inches around - I think I could have yielded more with a SCROG doing 3 plants in 5-gallon Buckets - I do love the way it looks as well - thanks again for stopping by and taking time to comment!
Great job!! These look amazing! Bud size may have not been to your liking but I’m sure the quality will still be great! I’ll be growing gelato as well my next grow!🙏🏽
