Hey fellow growers welcome back for week 7 update of my criticalpurple and pineapple auto grow! So the only real update to the grow operation is an air conditioner install! Which has made a major change in the climate and my girls are very satisfied with their new lifestyle!! Bud production is on the increase! I also installed pot elevators under all my ladies as suggested by Papa_T. To help get some air flow under the pots to prevent root rot. I just installed these tonight so I'll let yall know what I think of them. Here's the link if you wish to purchase them- https://hydropros.com/products/gro-pro-nx-level-pot-elevator?_pos=2&_sid=b71ac87f9&_ss=r. I also had to purchase a new Ph meter because I dropped my old one in the mixing bucket(of course)! So if you read last week it was a all water week. This week I threw the nutrients too them after a deficiency. I was fed up with deficiency problems so I wanted to see what they would take! The girls seem to love the feeding! Also the deficiency is neutralizing. So I've only had the one feeding this week. I will be watering tomorrow. 10/18/21 5ml- calmag 4ml- micro 6ml- bloom 1/4ml ph down Ph 6.35 Solution temp 73.1F 1003 ppm Still alternate feed/Water every four days at 1gal/plant. I'm going off of pot weight mostly but it seems like a gal every 4-5 days and they are happy with it. Critical purple #1- So this lady has turned into a power house! She was slow in veg but quickly has recovered! She is throwing on the bud quick! She is going to be a heavy hitter! To me she seems to be filling out and her aroma is starting to join in with her 2 week ahead flowering sister! She is also my 🌟 of the week for the second week running! Measured 28" tall Critical purple #2- Boy oh boy is this shorty packing some heat! With this being this little ladies 4th week in 🌸 The aroma this lady is throwing out is intoxicating🤤🤤!! She is showing a few amber pistols but tricomes are clear and still developing I'm still thinking about three weeks out. She won't be plucked till ready! I can promise that! Measured 18" tall. Pineapple auto #1- So big week for this lady also as u remember from last week I was pulling the tape off Sunday well I waited until Tuesday 10/12 giving her a whole 9 days and I would like to say my girl is knuckled up👊! She has recovered saving my future bud site. I know this is small for more seasoned growers but for me this is a major stepping stone. Other than that bud production is chugging along. Every day this girl is still filling in her part of the tent. Measured 32" tall. Pineapple auto #2- This lady has been my focus factor this week. She was suffering a nitrogen, magnesium deficiency with some possible light burn also. But she is recovering after some cal-mag. I will prob give her cal- mag every feed/Water till flush from here on out too keep her stable. Even with the deficiency she is still producing bud so no signs of stress at this point. Measured this lady out to be 37" tall. I would like to Thank all the growers for taking time away from your own beauties to read about mine. I really do enjoy my time on here viewing your diaries and learning with you all. I just have a passion for this and wanna do the best I can for my ladies. So if you see any improvements that I can make or suggestions u wanna make, or even just to say hi hit me up! Well till next week Best of luck and Happy Growing!😎🌱💚💪💪

Marker is thriving, enjoying its meals as usual. The only change is its delightful berry scent, rather than the expected gassy aroma. Keep up the good work, and let's see how its flavors develop further! 🌿🍇

Day 22 25/07/24 Thursday Still no Feed/water since Tuesday. Been a humid and overcast two days so not as much evaporation as normal. All plants happy and healthy 💚 Video updates Day 23 26/07/24 Friday De-chlorinated watering pH 6 with 5ml calmag to 5L water. Watered each with 250ml and had small run off. I will continue to feed/water with small run offs to help prevent salt build ups. Video update. Day 26 29/07/24 Monday Nice feed today, using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. They each had 300ml with small run off. All looks incredibly happy and healthy! The Auto Kabul that was mutated and twisted has pulled herself through and is just a bit shorter than the others. Day 28 31/07/24 Wednesday End of week😁 De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚

5/18 It's not raining now but it's supposed to later. The plants are protected though. I have brought them out to continue hardening. It's only 57 degrees but they'll be alright. I used what little water was left in the bottom of the gallon to lightly water what looked like it needed it most. I mixed up another gallon and I'll check them again before they go in for the night. These plants are getting hardened off properly. I've had some pretty serious problems when I try to transition to quickly. I don't see ANY problems (knock on wood) thus far. Pink kush reminds me of purple punch. It grows similarly and starts off slow. I hope it turns the corner like the purple punch did and make up for it with the quality of flower. I topped/fimmed a special kush #1. I'll update when I bring them in for the night. This week I'll clean/sanitize the cage and the grow bags. EDIT: PLANTS SPENT A LITTLE OVER 3 HOURS IN THE LEAN-TO WITH INDIRECT SUNLIGHT AND EXPOSIRE TO OUTDSIDE AIR, TEMPS AND RH. I DIDNT WATER WHEN I BROUGHT THEM BACK IN. I'LL CHECK TOMM MORNING AND SEE HOW THEY LOOK. IT HAD JUST STARTED TO RAIN LIGHTLY WHEN I BROUGHT THEM IN. THEY ARE PRETTY SHELTERED FROM WIND AND RAIN IN THE LEAN-TO. 5/19 It's thunderstorms out with high winds so the girls will probably stay in today. They look like they are acclimating well. I can see where some of the FIMS took. I redid one I think. I'll update later if do anything. 5/20 Everything looked AMAZING this morning. Boy that MK ULTRA has get some thick branches already forming. Another shitty rainy day. I consulted chatgtp and it was on the same page as me. No real benefit to expose my girls to 47° Temps, cold rain qnd wind. It will be shitty a couple more days. I'll evaluate things later. WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY. TOPSOIL WAS DRY. I USED APPROX 2/3 OF A GALLON ON EACH PLANT. 5/21 I've got a super busy day. I left early and it was to cold to put the girls out. It's 55° at 9:30a.m. It may rain off and on but I think the girls would do okay in the lean-to. I need to get them ready and hardened for their forever homes. Time seems like it's flying. We are getting close to being able to put them out without risk of reveg. Plus I'm not subjecting my girls to un needed stress for no reason. I'll update what I do. 5/22 Plants were dry this morning. I used what was left in the gallon jug to water all the plants. I don't wantcto overwater and I'd like to keep the nutes in the soil where the plant can absorb them. Not just leak out the bottom. They are all growing at an incredible pace. It's currently 49°F at 9:45. It's overcast with a chance of rain. We are at what was suppised to be the high for the day. If we get above 55 I'll bring the girls out and continuing hardening. I guess it's not going to he an early season. Won't be long though and these girls will be in their final homes. I'm impressed with what I've seen so far. EDIT: ITS 4PM AND THE SUN JUST PEEKED OUT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IS GONE AGAIN. PLANTS LOOK FANTASTIC. IM SO GLAD I KEPT THEM IN DURING THESE 40 LOW 50 DEGREE WET DAYS. IT'LL ONLY STRESS THEM IMO SINCE THEY LOOK SO GOOD. AS SOON AS THIS RAINSTORM AND COLD WEATHER PASSES WE SHOULD HAVE DECENT WEATHER. JUST A FEW MORE DAYS WHERE HIGHS ARE IN THE 40'S. I FEEL BAD FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT SAW THOSE HIGH 70-80 DEGREE DAYS AND PUT THEIR PLANTS OUT. THEY ARENT DOING GOOD. JUST LOOKING AT THE FOLIAGE AROUND AND I CAN SEE TREES THAT ARE JUST LIMP. THE BLOSSOMS ON THIS SPECIES LOOK LIKE A CANNABIS PLANT IN VEG WHEN IT GOT COLD SHOCKED. ANYWAY MY BODY IS KILLING ME. I GOT A LOT DONE. AND I SOAKED MY BAGS FOR 40 MINS IN A MICTURE OF DAWN, H202 AND WATER. PRIOR I USED A WIRE BRUSH TO GET ALL DIRY AND STUFF OFF I COULD. THEN I SOAKED THEM AND AFTER I RINSED THEM. I COULD SEE THE H2O2 DOING ITS WORK. REALISTICALLY I SHOULD GET NEW BAGS. ITS JUST NOT IN THE FINANCES RIGHT NOW. OH WELL. THEYVE BEEN SANITIZED AND WASHED AND ILL GO OVER THE ONES THAT ARE STAINED AGAIN JUST TO MAKE SURE I DONT SPREAD SOMETHING. 5/23 What a miserable day. It's 44° and pouring out. I put a screenshot of tbe weather and you can see that after the next few shitty days we are getting sunny weather in the 70's. Light is long enough for them now. I need to dial back the timer morecto get them acclimated. I just have to clean up the cage and they are ready to go. Bags are sanitized. I'm going to spend some more time getting some algae off a couple. These plants are flourishing. I am happy I picked 1gal over 3gal before the transplant. It's turned out perfect thus far. Really looking forward to this. Oh and I watered everything a LITTLE bit as it was dry. Enough to get it through until they get a full watering before going outside. I also attempted a FIM on the other 10th planet. The FIM on the mk ultra worked and I've got at least three tops. 5/23 WATERED ALL PLANTS WITH APPROXIMATELY A HALF GALLON. Plants were all super light and dry. I keedcto water more volume at a time. This is easier than fixing overwatering. Things are getting tight in here. Plants are getting huge! The FIMs and Toping that ive done took. That big mk ultra has 4 or 5 tops on it! Plants look super healthy. Good weather is coming. They'll be in their forever homes shortly. It's working out perfect. Some of these plants look like they'll need a transplant soon. Still need to clean up the grow cage but that will only take a minute. Also need to fix a tear I made in a grow bag but again thats just normal small shit. If you look at the snap shot of weather I took you can see the weather is going to improve greatly. This is when I'll do the majority of work. I'll update anything else I do. EDIT: ITS 51° AND RAINING OFF AND ON. I MADE A "TEMPIRARY FIX" FOR THE GROW BAG THAT I HAD RIPPED. IT RIPPED FROM THE HANDLE DOWN AND A LITTLE DIAGONALLY. I THOUGHT ABOUT SOWING IT BUT OPTED FOR THIS EASIER METHOD. I POKED HOLES BIG ENOUGH TO SLID SMALL ZIPTIES THROUGH THE TORN PART OF THE BAG. I USED THEM TO "SUTURE THE BAG BACK TOGETHER. I THOUGHT IT TURNED OUT GREAT. I THEN USED GORILLA TAPE AND PUT A PIECE DIAGONAL OVER THE SMALL ANGLE. I DID THE SAME ON THE OPPOSOTE SIDE BEFORE RUNNING THE GORILLA TAPE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TEAR OVER THE BAG AND INTO THE INSIDE (COVERING THE VERTICLE STRIPS AND ZIPTIES). THE TAPE IS JUST SO I DONT LOSR SOIL AS THE ZIPTIES PRETTY MICH DID THE JOB. I ALSO USED A BUNCH OF H2O2, WHICH I POURED OVER THE ALGAE ON THE BAGS IT WAS PRESENT ON. IT FIZZED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE ALL STAINS FROM SOME BAGS. I WORKED THEM ALL OVER AGAIN AND DOSLOSGED EPOTS AND SANITIZED ANYTHING THAT LOOKED LIKE IT NEEDED IT. ALL I HAVE LEFT IS TO CLEAN THE CAGE. AFTER WATERING THE PLANTS THIS MORNING THE JUNPED VISIBLY IN SIZE WITH LEAVES PRAYING TO THE HEAVENS. IM GLAD I HAVE TWO LARGE SOUTH FACING WINDOWS WHICH I HAVE OPENED THE BLINDS. I THIBK ITS ONE MORE DAY OF THIS AND A FEW MORE HARDENING THE GIRLS AND ILL BE ROCKING AND ROLLING. WHICH IS GOOD CONSIDERING THESE PLANTS ARE GETTING BIG. DONT WANT THEM TO GET ROOTBOUND. FORGOT CAMERA SO DIDNT TAKE PICTURES.

08/21/24. Going into week 8 flower Welcome back to hell. Just kidding.. kinda.. Day 57 out of the 71 stated. This girls definitely going the whole way, if not more. She’s trying to make up for time that was taken from her. With the way she’s filling out now, I’m like damn. What would she have been like had we not hit a huge long bump in the road?? I’m shocked at what she’s even doing honestly. Big ups to Pablita. 👊 I guess this diary can just be a testament to this strain being resilient af. Also, hopefully it can serve as an example that you can bring a plant back from near death. Anyhow, giving her plain water currently as I think there’s still some build up in her soil. I tried feeding her a bit and noticed immediate tip burns. Going do water again next time as well and then a VERY light feeding that time after and see the happenings. I’m just trying to take it as slow and easy as possible with her. With progress .. don’t wanna throw everything back to shit. She’s thirsty every other day. Drinks almost a gallon, and get about 10% run off. Guess that’ll be all for now. ✌️

Le sfighe sempre a fine ciclo, riprendendo l'over fert ieri ho trovato 2 tubicini dell'irrigazione tappati, quindi non circolando l'acqua 2 piante sono seccate un po, adesso ho sistemato e l'acqua continua a circolare ma mi sa che sono ancora in blocco... attendo qualche altro giorno per vedere se ci sarà una ripartenza, altrimenti raccoglierò questo fine settimana o il prossimo.

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

Welcome to my GranDaddyPurple Auto Diary sponsored by MSNL & Spider-Farmer. Flower Days 1-14 Days 43-56 weeks 7-8. Plant moved nicely along pre flower. Didn't gain much height stands just shy of 53cm. Buds are gaining weight. Withstanding the High Temp. Done a light defoliation No mad foxtailing yet. But, as she moves out of ripening I've no doubt she'll start to push out some tails. She did pick up what was going to be a lovely fade. But, sadly I messed up somewhere and she lost her pigment of her purple. So, just gonna have to stick with a lovely chunky colorless monkey. Her buds are lovely and fruity, stinks of pungent berries. Really happy with this Auto. I like to try all breeders autos. And I'm happy to say. I see a lot of MSNL auto in my future. Hopefully next time. I'll be more on my game, and grab an purple pheno for my troubles. But, I doubt I'll have such hard environment to grow in. With co2, things can turn on their head with a lighting session. SE5000 sponsored by SPIDER-FARMER. Light is very impressive giving me some amazing bud. Only been ran at 80% also. As I'm running lots of fems in early development. So, 80% is the max I'll reach for now with this powerhouse of a 480w full spectrum beast. Also running 2 other strains from this breeder that are steaming along. Check them out. Thanks to all who stopped by and viewed, or liked & commented. Much appreciated. Look forward to seen your work. Either way thanks for stopping by.

Looking forward to this ❤️ This strain has been a favourite of mine for years. 34 street seeds have been consistent, and have great germination rates in my experiences. I picked one seed, soaked in water with a splash of hydrogen peroxide for 6 hours and then planted directly into the starter pot. 36 hours later we had a sprout. Lots of humidity, trying to keep it in the 70’s and the temp has been steady at 77 degrees as the lights are being kept on for 24 hours for the time being. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Increased the Big Bud feeding this week. Looking over the photos it doesn't appear that anything spectacular happened this week. It is almost as if she has stagnated in growth. No signs of nutrient burn so hopefully she packs on some weight soon. The video added includes a variety of strains. C4-matic, Green Crack auto, Stardawg auto and the Californian Snow auto. The Californian snow is the 4th plant zoomed in during the video.

Autos are just starting to flower the photos are dying for some bigger pots. I've been trying to bring up the overall plant health in general since moving everything to a basement the temps are a little lower than ideal. I had a space heater delivered today and monitored the temps but they only went up to around 78°f I want it to be atleast 82°f ideally 85. The heater uses 1500 watt and only increased it about 2 or 3°. I dont think it's worth the extra cost for such little boost. I'm thinking about returning the heater and throwing a 1000w hps in one of the other tents and see if that will raise it anymore. Especially with LED and co2 higher temps would be very beneficial in veg and early flower but the room is so big its gunna be tough to pull off without killing me on electric costs. Any suggestions are welcome. I know this room does decent in flower but I havnt done much veg work down here and I'll have some autos growing this round so it's important I get it up.
