Hulkberry Auto

Soil is Canna Professional with 20% added perlite, 11L Pot. Germinated 12h on water then 2 days on paper towel. D0: Put on the pot and placed half a water bottle to raise humidity. D1: Still hasn´t sprouted, I may have left the soil too compact. D2: Germinated, 2cm. D3: Looking healthu, 4,5cm. D4: Little growth, may have overwatered. D5: Growing healthy, didn´t stretch much and second set of leaves are visible. D6: Second pair growing. D7: Growing well.

At this stage,I swapped the half bottle for a zip bag to keep humidity. D8: Third pair of leaves visible. D9: Growing, watered a little. D10: Growing well. D11: Didn´t show any growth but looking healthy! D12: Growing well, a little weak to stand for itself so I´ve put a little clip to hold it up in place. D13: Growing nice. Younger set of leaves a little rugged. D14: Growing reaaally well!

D15: Growing really well. D16: Growing healthy, with really beautiful leaves. D17: D18: Watered, 6.2 pH. D19: Growing really well, starting to develop the nodes. The idea was to LST the plant, but i don´t think I´ll do that in order to see how it grows by itsef in terms of training (along side this one, I am currently growing other 3, 1 that got stunted, 1 mutant and another one that i LST´d). D20: Growing nice, one leaf has a slightly dark spot, but I don´t think its anything to worry about. Watered, 6.2 pH. D21: Impressive growth. May start feeding her with some Bio-Grow next watering.

D22: Growing really well, definitely not LST´ing neither defoliating, only leaf tucking and love haha. D23: Watered 1L of 1ml/L of Bio-Grow. D24: Beautiful. Raised lights to 45cm, thought it was too close. D25: Watered with unpH´d water, my pen broke and its completely uncalibrated, I have to buy some calibration powder.. D26: - D27: Growing beautifully. It is awesome to have a good pheno, first hulkberry I grew (and still am) was a mutant and got pretty tiny (I have a diary on her). Watered with 6.5 pH water. D28: ---

D29 - 31/AUG: Growing really well, one bottom leaf seems like got visited by a thrip, need to keep an eye for it. Watered with nutes. D30: Looking beautiful! Going into flower pretty well. D31: Growing awesome! No defoliation yet and won´t LST this one. Watered with regular 6-6.5 pHd water. D32: Looking soooo beautiful. No watering today. D33: Growing impressively. Watered with nutrients, raised calmag to 1ml/L. Found some tiny thrips on leaves and sprayed some Total Explosion. D34: -- D35: Regular watering, without nutes. Growing well! Looking healthy and pretty.

As a experiment to see how untrained autoflowers grow (since my first first one I LST'd), it’s going really well. September 7th Day 36: — Day 37: Watered with nutrients. Light defoliation, took out 4 bottom leaves. Growing really well. Day 38: No watering, light defoliation. Day 39: Watered a little. Looking good. Day 40: Watered a little. Growing well. Some thrips in it so I sprayed some Total Explosion. Day 41: No watering. Light defoliation. Looking good! Day 42: Watered with regular pH water. Still some thrip issues inside the tent, but I think I´ll control it soon. Light defoliation.

D43 - SEP 14: No watering. Looking good! Still some thrip problems, but yeah, I´m dealing with that. D44: Watered with 6-6.5 pH water. Still some thrips. I lowered the light and it seemed to have suffered a little so I raised it right back up. D45: No watering. Looking great!! I never thought this light would grow such a beautiful plant :) D46: My new pen arrived ( one that is waterproof so I don´t break it again ), the microscope too, Bio-Heaven, Fish-Mix and new substrate for the next grows. Watered with the mixed nutrients at 6.1 pH. Still some thrips but I´m on it. Showing a little nutrient excess, maybe I should flush it. D47: Growing insane. I really didn´t think much of this plant but it seems like it´s gonna be awesome! No watering today. D48: Found only one thrip on another plant of the grow, looks like it´s getting under control. Growing really well :) No watering today still. D49: Last day of the week and I can say that it got way bigger in the last 7 days, fattened up and is looking amazing. Today I watered with the nutrients mix at 6.2pH.

D50 - SEP 21: Looking awesome, found a thrip on it, so I might not have exterminated them. No watering today. It´s getting really fat and beautiful :) D51: Great growth, it didn´t even start to fatten up yet and it´s really big. No watering. D52: Growth has slowed down, idk why, but it´s looking pretty healthy and big. Pistils are still all white basically. Watered with only a little of Bio-Heaven (3ml-3L) at 6.2pH. D53: No watering. No thrips in the tent. Temperatures are good and rH too, D54: Fattening up a bit, soon it will start fattening really quick, so I´ll to to work with the Bio-Heaven at this time. D55 - D56: Been a little off of GD for these past days, but the tent is in good shape and this girl is fattening up real good. It´s for sure going to be huge (even more for me ´cause I had no hope on this light).

D57 - SEP 20: Looking real good. Fattening up and developing the thricomes :) D58: Watered with 6.2 pH plain water. Looking great, starting to frost up. D59: Fattening up slowly and crystallizing. It is looking beautiful. A little nutrient burn developed on the tips, so I´ll hold on the nutes for some time. D60: Watered with 6.0 pH water with 2ml/1.5L of Bio-Heaven. Looks like its entering the ´´fattening´´ phase that it grows insanely big from day to night lol. D61: No watering, looking great. Buds are fattening and getting frostier. D62: Watered with regular 6.2 pH water. D63: Looking good. Healthy and starting to freeze.

So, this week was a little rough for me so I didn´t took any notes on specific days but I´ll try to resume what happened: On the first days of the week I noticed the thricomes were developing really fast and the pistils were getting pretty much all orange. Later on, the thricomes slowed their development and the plant started showing new growth and new white pistils. Now, on the end of the week, the plant grew a little and it´s pretty much ready to harvest but it´s still growing a little and seems to be foxtailing. Watered once with nutrients and after that, all straight 6.0 pH water. But yeah, I´m extremely happy with how it´s looking! Thanks for reading!

So, first of all, I want to say that I´ll be doing the diaries in a weekly updates way, instead of day by day, not only because it is less heavy on me, but I think it´s a better and more attractive reading. So, tell me if you prefer day by day or weekly updates please! Thanks! So, this week was pretty good, thricomes are looking pretty close to harvest. About 90% cloudy, with a little amber and clear. Watered with regular water and didn´t feed her. Flushed it with regular water on day 74, looked like it had still lots of nutes/salts buildup. And about flushing: I saw a really good study (I can link if it´s of interest for someone) showing that flushing isn´t really required, specially if you´re doing organic grows. It was really well explained and had solid arguments and comparisons, even tho, I flushed her in order to see if it really makes a difference. On day 76 when i first opened the tent in the day, she was all the way to the floor, almost hitting 2 tiny girls on the tent. Since she doesn´t had any strenght to support herself, I used some ropes to mantain her up. In resume: The week´s been really nice, she´s beautiful as hell with some purples and I´ve learnt some really good stuff as well.

D81: She´s looking beautiful, there are some purple showing up in the buds and it´s getting really frosty. D82: There are still lots of white pistils showing up as well as more orange pistils, she is foxtailing a bit and thricomes are looking mostly cloudy but some are clear (about 30%) and the top bud is mostly cloudy with about 40% amber. I´m super excited for this harvest, she turned out to be way more than I expected, also, it´s getting closer.. her pistils are now getting a beaaautiful orange and thricomes are looking good. The smell is really good and the purples are incredible. Thanks for reading!

D85: Really nice purple showing up, except it´s in the lightside only, the other side is green lol. Thricomes are looking about 80% cloudy, almost ready to harvest. D87: Watered with straight water, looking closer to harvest but still not there. D90: She has about 5-10% amber thricomes, so I´ve put her on my closet for a 24h complete darkness period. Well, she is beautiful and I´m really excited for the final steps. If you want to know soon enough how this grow turned out be sure to follow it! Thanks so much and peace.

1st of November, HARVEST, D91 So, after the 24 hours of darkness, she is now beautiful and ready. After chopping her, I hung her for some hours – I had some stuff to do – and after that I did wet trimming since I find it more convenient and I don´t like to trim dry buds. I guess the best way for me would be to leave it drying for some days, do the trimming, then leave it drying some more, but, I sincerely don´t have patience lol. When I was in the last stock to trim (which was the main btw) the top bud looked strange to me so I opened it and it was starting to rot.. I got really sad but what can I do except for trying to save it, right? So I took all the rotten parts out of the top bud and tore it to pieces to watch it closely and keep it from getting any more mold. D94 Today I weighed the half part of the top bud that was already dry and it remained without any mold: 3.6 grams. D97 Everything is dry and now curing, the total weight is 68.6, 65 of the whole plant and 3.6 of what I saved from the rotten bud. I´m really happy with the results, the buds aren´t much dense but they look beautiful. D111 Today is the 14th day of curing. D120 Today I´ll be doing the smoke report, it´s been curing for 3 weeks and the smells is quite good already, I know it can be better but the taste is good already so I´ll be doing it today. More info on growing in the previous weeks and a summary of growing and also the smoke report are on the top at the strain review. Thank you very much for reading my diary!
