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!😎🌱💚💪💪

Brought to u by Mars Hydro SP3000 x2. Grow on Earth. Grow with Mars. All pics day 40. Welcome back. Mid/late flower now. Winding down nutes and teas and will feed to get the buds to ripen. Apex is frosting up nicely and her smell is popping, closest I can get to describing it is like cleaning products from a real fancy hotel…but lots of fan leaves are showing signs of deficiencies and/or lockout cuz she’s root bound really bad. Buds and sugar leaves aren’t affected, so far so good, I hope they stay that way 🤞 Gelato is fattening up real nice and has that distinct pungent aroma but not as strong as apex and not a lot of trichs. I hear this strain starts picking up in week 7+…although she’s root bound too but not as bad (I think). Lights are at 80%…they’re fricken beasts and way too much power for such a short, tiny tent. Next grow will be same strains, bigger final pots and will be in a new tent that is 6” (15cm) taller, every little bit helps :) That’s it for this week. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe and happy gardening 🌱🌱

I'm taking a break from recording and posting daily timelapses. Going for surgery in a few days. Will have help but not to document.

I loved it. Grew some really nice buds, produced an amazing smell that filled the room once I opened my tent. The buds are really sticky, trichomes looked amazing they were about 75% cloudy when I cut her down.

At the end of Week 3 this is how things are looking for the Alien OG, could be looking alot better. I will give them time to fully recover from the transplanting and topping and see how they get on in the next few week's.

Week 16 Everybody is on Flower! End of August: daylight 13h20: 7h20/20h40. Day temperature max: 26°C - Night temperature : 17°C Sunny weather - 2/3 rainy days in 2 weeks Enriched the soil with seaweed powder and bat guano. Continue to add flowering nutrients: Grower Master I added some Calmag one time. Watering 2L/plant every 3 days (2 days would be better) With humidity growing and the relatives hot temperatures: the predators are attacking plants. Everything appears so fast: Aphids, caterpillars, leaf miner flies. Did a general defoliation before spray my mixture Garlic + laurel (12cl Garlic juice + 5cl laurel infusion + 1L distilled water: beware PH!!). I sprinkled diatomaceous earth on top of soil to protect and minimize the infestation. Brake Pad Breath: still deep green and bushy. Flowering since 4 weeks. The most advanced, pretty good flowers with long pistils are growing. Spared until now: the plant is victim of Aphids, miner leaf flies and caterpillars in a « reasonable way »….try to eradicate the problem without shocking the plant at this stage. Flash Back#2: around 2 weeks flowering, stretched a few centimeters more, well developed plants with lot of blooming sites. Relatively spared by pests, just some aphids. GMO X Zombie Kush: some difficulties to recover….just engaged the flowering process, not to bad if she resist to the second pest’s wave. Royal Moby: uncertain destiny….recovering good, sativa style: 155cm, just starting the flowering stage…super late! Harvested a pretty auto flower: White Russian by Serious Seeds. Well developed plant, a little bit long to be ready but resinous and meaty buds.

🌸 BlueBerry — Week 8 Flower | Shining Toward the Finish Line Here we are, my dear readers — Week 8 of flower. The room feels magical. Our BlueBerry girls, both phenos, are in their full glory — dense, fragrant, and sparkling with resin. From seed to now, it’s been a journey of patience, learning, and pure joy. The final stretch has begun, and you can feel it in the air — harvest is not far away, maybe one or two weeks more. ✨ The Girls Both BlueBerry #1 and BlueBerry #2 are magnificent. Thick colas stacking from top to bottom, glistening with frost under the lights. The pistils are slowly turning color, and the aroma is deep, sweet, and nostalgic — that unmistakable BlueBerry essence that makes this classic a legend. The trichomes are swelling beautifully, and bud density is impressive. The girls are holding up thanks to the yo-yos — these branches are heavy, bending under the weight of their own success. ⚙️ The Gear This week, let’s give a shout-out to the gear making this symphony possible: 💡 Lighting Setup We are running a mix of powerhouses — the ThinkGrow Model One and the ICL 300 inner canopy lights. Together, they create a perfect, even spread — deep canopy penetration from the ICLs and full-spectrum brilliance from the top lights. The inner canopy lighting has really proven its worth, driving light deep into the plant’s heart and boosting bud formation all the way down. 🌬️ Airflow & Extraction Two 6-inch extractors keep the air moving — one AeroFan, the other Spider Farmer, both with carbon filters for clean, fresh air. The Spider Farmer extractor runs through its own GGS controller, while the AeroFan is perfectly synced with the TrolMaster Tent-X system, ensuring ideal airflow at all times. 🎥 Monitoring & Control Our guardian eye — the TrolMaster camera — keeps a close watch, allowing remote monitoring of the girls in real time. The entire ecosystem (lights, fans, sensors, and camera) is fully integrated, giving us control and data precision from anywhere. 🌿 Environment & Feeding Temperatures stay warm — around 29°C — while humidity fluctuates around 55–60%. It’s hot, yes, but the airflow and light balance keep things steady enough for the girls to thrive. We’re continuing with our nutrient mix featuring Aptus Holland and Plagron products. The recipe is fine-tuned now — the balance between power and gentleness, giving the plants the final push to perfect those trichomes and terpene profiles. 💧 What’s Next As we near the finish line, we’re watching closely: • Trichome maturity is the main focus now — we’re waiting for that milky-to-amber dance. • Flushing is coming soon, preparing the soil and the plants for a clean, flavorful harvest. • Aroma intensifies daily — the room feels alive, sweet, fruity, and full of promise. 💙 Gratitude & Reflection From germination with The Cannakan method, through every transplant, every tweak, every experiment — it’s been a story of care and curiosity. Huge thanks to Zamnesia for these legendary genetics, to Aptus Holland and Plagron for their nutrient support, and to TrolMaster, ThinkGrow, Future of Grow, Spider Farmer, and AeroFan for helping make this environment as close to perfect as we can dream. And of course — thank you to everyone reading, supporting, learning, and growing with us. The haters, the lovers, the curious souls — all of you are part of this. 🌍💚 🌸 What to Expect (and Not) Expect swelling buds, deeper aromas, and trichomes that’ll make your camera cry tears of joy. Don’t expect miracles overnight — the last weeks are about patience, precision, and presence.

-Sorry I missed a week as I left town for vacation, luckily I had someone to check on them -I've been feeding once a week about 2 gallons each -I water whenever the top couple inches is dry but its been raining almost every other day so I've barely watered them -I've been using straight tap water (municipal) without dechlorinating. I was dechlorinating for 3/4 and using the 4th as a test, it showed no ill effects so I decided to not waste my time and just send it. I'ts been 2 weeks and no negative signs (touch wood) so I'll continue -I used Promix-HP as my medium, its pretty light and the girls are getting pretty tall. When I got home from my vacation I noticed they were all leaning to one side. I assumed they were leaning towards where they get the most sun so I spun them around. Doing so I noticed that they were leaning because they were top heavy and the medium wasn't dense enough to provide sufficient support. I set up the perimeter wire as you see to provide additional support and tied the stalks up with stakes. They seem pretty sturdy now. -Been getting some hot and humid days here in Ontario and they keep stretching, I'm curious as to how big they'll get before flower. -Oh and the Auto White Widow from my previous grow was planted in my flower bed and its still just vegging, hopefully it'll flower with the rest. I'm about to give her another major haircut.

15.06.25. Day 30. Plants are looking healthy. Lots of growth in past week. She is showing preflower so I switched to flowering nutrients. First reservoir change out since I placed them into buckets. One plant topped herself because of rapid growth, I did not pull back training wire on main node and so the branch snapped where it was tied down. She is entering stretch now so I took of training wire on all plants. 18.06.25. Day 33! Defoliation, lilipop.

7 archive seeds are legit super dense tricomb production like nothing I've seen b4. I would NEVER BUY SEEDS FROM ARCHIVESEEDBANK.COM.... they have great genetics but there customer service is garbage. This summer I spent 50 on these 3 seeds and 125 on a 12 pack of reg seeds of a diff strain the reg seeds didn't grow at all and archive never responded they sold me old ass seeds and stole my 125$ I'm happy I already got 32 seeds from the crappy plant of the 3 that I already cut down. I'm letting the last 2 finish up completely

Had some issues with mold forming in the bottom part of the pot”1L water bottle”. So I thought I should make a couple of new ones. For what so ever reason I started stabbing the bottom of the new empty bottle and stabbed myself on the hand😀.No comment. I think this is a result of an experiment I did to check the drainage of the pot. I’ll water a very little bit and let the girls to use all of the water near their old soil. I’ll also wash the old soil and let it dry in the sun. Gorilla looks kind of bothered these days. Hope the changes and the change of the fan's volume ,from 2 to 1 non direct,help. Thanks for reading. I’ll keep you updated for the health of the girls. After that do you think I should take out the tent and transplant into 6,5L a bit earlier?

The plants are ranging from 36”-38”…. We just purchased Flower Fuel for the buds. And pruned all the plants this week. Lastly we gave the plants pH balanced water with loranne flavor extract and unsulfured molasses.
