Blue Dream Auto
Growing it

Harvested on Day 72. Normally, I would have given her at least one more week to bulk, but because she was such a disappointment I just wanted to move on to the next plant. She grew really well during veg and early flower, but had some increasingly intense issue. Seemed like a nutrient burn but nothing I tried helped. Even advice from other growers could not help. Really frustrating, but I assume at some point in time I will be able to look back and tell what was wrong. She got really large and generally seemed to respond well to hydroponics. If it wasn't for her problem, she easily could have stacked double the weight (~260g) without a single more centimeter of growth than she already had. All in all huge potential but definitely not easy to get it all out.

Seem to be great in general, only problem is that the Silicate plugs up the air stones.

Honey Cream (Royal Caramel)
Growing it

Harvested on Day 90 after 8 weeks of flowering. Veg was pretty normal but her stretch was absolutely enormous. She quadrupelt in size and even snapped a tied down branch by herself. Throughout the bloom she was obviously having some issue, with significant damage from the top fan leaves downwards. I didn't think it was any deficiency because of that, so I guessed it to either be a pH or heat/light intensity problem. Even though I flushed her and tried everything I seemingly could do, she didn't recover and never was able to stack size. On day 90, through pure luck my brother spotted unbelievable quantities of aphids under some damaged leaves. Looking back, we found that every damaged or dead leave was covered with aphid bites. Didn't even think of that because she was standing inside... So in conclusion, we decided to chop her on day 90. The smell was really nice and pleasant, even though I wouldn't describe it as anything like "Honey Cream". Really sweet and almost slightly fruity. She grew vigourous and promised huge colas if it wasn't for the aphids. Extremely sad and another Grow down the learning drain.

Raspberry Parfait
Growing it
Normal
Resistance

Solid strain. Grows large and thick fan leaves during veg, which seem to really support her stretch getting her to at least double in size. During flower her fan leaves significantly shrink and she stacks relatively short, sativa structured buds. The buds unfortunately stay pretty small but are absolutely covered with trichomes and suuper sticky. Had another Raspberry Parfait growing, which had the exact same structure. The scent is amazing. This particular plant smelled incredibly sweet and slightly fruity. Couldn't help but associate it with the smell of Monster Energy. 9.5/10 The only real mistake was the snapping of a branch early on, but her long veg time definitely made up for it. The long veg was mostly caused by a light schedule mistake, which almost made her flower prematurely. To let her recover, she got 2 more weeks of veg than anticipated. All this time was almost completely wasted though, since she stretched so much and wasn't able to stack on larger buds. Considering her long life she was somewhat of a disappointment in yield, but not in terps. Also let her live longer than necessary, but I never had a plant get this old before so it needed to happen at some point. All in all I think this strain is mostly good for growing outdoors or in larger spaces without good lighting. Amazing for trying special terps, but don't expect great indoor yield ratios.

Just started using them in the end of flower, can't really say anything except they seem to do their job.

Blue Dream Auto

Harvested on day 82 / after 12 weeks. Started flower after less than 3 weeks of veg. I think she would have fed super heavily to still get some size, but she was having some issue I wasn't able to solve. Through the beginning of summer the temperature increased and she started to show some fox tailing. I never experienced any so I just decided to let her go and see what happens. Unfortunately parts of two of her big buds died and were extremely moldy inside. The harvest picture on the baking paper was taken without these two buds. She weighed in at 62g without the moldy buds. Similar sized ones weighed about 8g, so she would have come out as 78g. Not bad at all considering the bad care during the stretch and the experimental heat. Showed that this strain has huge potential but is not that resistant to heat.

Used after stretch. Prevented any further deficiencies.

Pretty much always do their job, but even though giving 50% more than the recommended dosage, they couldn't keep up with the nutrient demand in the beginning of flower. Could have also been a lack of microbes.

Showed that the strain isn't really resistant to heat, but also how dangerous high temperature with limited airflow can be. Nice plant to learn with and absolutely huge potential.

Can't really tell since Runtz only got one feeding from Terra Aquatica.

Solid nutrients, but sometimes lead to deficiency's early in flower. Would suggest to start adding the fertilizer one week before going into flower of relatively high feeders. (Organic fertilizer starts being processed after one week)

Topped after 2 nodes, small pot size most likely kept her a bit shorter. Was successfully trained to have 2 huge Main buds, through tying everything else down a bit lower, lollipoping a lot and leaving the biggest fan leaves of both. Harvested on day 104 after one week of Flushing. Had gigantic buds with a 5 cm width and 18 cm length wet and 3,5 cm width and 16 cm length dry. Didn't have that many trichomes, smell wasn't special, but due to the volume it is still a nice strain.

First time doing an auto flower and first time growing in a 19L pot. Pretty nice grow except for one of the main branches snapping and the huge lack of water during beginning of flower. She packed on size later though, so It wasn't too bad. Harvested on day 98 after 3 days of darkness and 10 days flush. Drying in custom cardboard box at roughly 14°C and 55% humidity. Grown in 50x50cm tent with ACinfinity equipment. Final weight is 80,46 g. Didn't do enough lollipoping, had many buds that almost got no light and had pretty much only sugar leaves. They were literally see through.
