Hey fellow growers welcome back for week 8 update of my critical purple and pineapple auto grow! Not to much to talk about this week its been smooth sailing with these ladies this week🙏🙏 So the pot elevators that I added last week are freaking amazing! The extra airflow under the pots is helping them breathe and giving me peace of mind against root rot. So if you read last week it was a feed week. This week I fed 3 of 4 plants. As I'm still fighting a deficiency. All four plants are 56 days old total today! 3 of 4 are week 3 of 🌸 and 1 is in week 5 of 🌸 10/25/21 Critical purple #2- Started flushing😁 Water Ph 6.2 175 Ppm 72.3°f Other plants 3ml cal mag 2ml micro 4ml bloom 1/2ml ph down Ph 6.33 658 Ppm Solution temp 71.2°f Still 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 is packing it on quick and starting to put off a luscious aroma like her smaller sister! She was slow in veg but has now passed both pineapple auto's in flower! This plant has literally been sitting in the back corner all quiet minding its own buisness just thriving. I do believe she has finished growing as no change has occured in height since last week. Measured 28" tall Critical purple #2- This shorty is developing nicely! With this being this little ladies 5th week in 🌸 The aroma this lady is throwing out is powerful!! She is showing a few amber pistols but trichomes are clear and still developing I'm still thinking about two weeks out. That's why I have begun flushing this lady! Guys I'm so excited this will be my first finished plant of both grows going and first plant I've ever grown to even flower! With this being said u know it she has become my 🌟 of the week!!👏👏👏 No change in height this week measured 18" tall. Pineapple auto #1- So last week I measured 32" tall well I was wrong I measured the wrong bud this plant is 39" long making her my biggest plant ever to date! She seems to be going rather slow in flower like not packing on bud as well as the others. How can the biggest plant have the smallest flowers and the smallest have the biggest flowers?! Hopefully she will come around. She may have stressed with the branch snap. Pineapple auto #2- This lady is my 😈 again this week. She is still fighting a magnesium deficiency. Even with the cal mag she is still spreading to other leaves. I did recover her from nitrogen deficiency. Even with the deficiency she is still producing bud nicely. 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!😎🌱💚💪💪 🌟Psss...

On day 1 things are going well. The buds are getting larger by the day and I'm starting to smell the terps. This is an interesting one, I can't figure it out just yet but there seems to be grapefruit in the background at least. I also did my last defoliation to bring in more light to the canopy. On day 3 the girls are doing well. My PH pen broke so I'm back to indicator drops until amazon hooks me up with a new probe. On day 4 the plants are doing well. I applied my final BTI treatment. The fungus gnat population is way down and almost completely eradicated. The girls are putting on more trichs everyday and the smell is increasing :) On day 5 I see no more fungus gnats :) I should receive my PH pen tomorrow and will finally be able to adjust my reservoirs pH with more precision. On day 6 the plants are doing well. On day 7 my new PH pen was ready for use. I discovered my reservoir got down to 5.5 PH yikes! I used PH up to get the PH to 6.1. I then changed out my reservoir with new nutrients. I PH'ed to 6.1

Week 8 is officially here, and it has been an absolute furnace out there! Temperatures soared between 35–38°C this week, pushing the plants through some serious outdoor heat stress. Hydration was the main mission—she’s been chugging an impressive 3 to 4 liters of water a day! She did sacrifice 2 or 3 of her older bottom leaves to cope with the extreme temperatures, but that's completely expected when it gets this hot. I’m crossing my fingers that she continues to push through the summer heat with this much resilience. Honestly, she’s handling it like a total trooper. She’s currently sitting at 53cm and looking fantastic. The buds are shaping up beautifully, and I am absolutely obsessed with the look of those violet flower stems underneath the bright white pistils. It is such a stunning look under the natural sunlight! Don't forget to check out the Black Orchid Auto diary on my profile to see how she's handling the high temperatures!

I’ll be most definitely harvesting these next week! I will continue with water from now until they are ripe and ready! They are absolutely smelling like a sweet shop! Like I dipped my head in a pic and mix bucket, like Im wreck it Ralph and I’ve crashed into candyland! Makes my mouth dribble! The buds are starting to swell too so thinking next 7 days I’ll be ready! Next upload will be harvest hope you like buddies! I’ll be hang drying this time! As I’ll have space and a tent to do it in as before I didn’t and used the brown bag method! But I can maintain between 14c - 18c with a humidity of 42 percent! So I’ll hang dry this time! Any suggestions?? Let me know! I’ll be putting 2 fans on them for air circulation and a air vent only sucking out as it will draw air in on its own and keep the humidity lower in the tent while drying!

Wow I am amazed at the growth in the last week. I did end up losing the one grease gun but I started a new seed and so far it is off to the races. This past week I have been running the rhize veg along with hygroben hygrozyme and hyshield. Plants are loving it! So tomorrow I am topping two and going to leave two just to see the difference in growth. All plants are attached to the same reservoir so they all have access to the same nutrients solution! I also have some exciting news I am getting a UVA light for this grow so I am really excited it should be here this week!

143gr for the Larger pheno and 97 for the shorter, very respectable yield in total for 3 Wk Veg. Total 240gr even they each had 1.5’x1.5’ of space. Big yielder, buds are 10/10 & very easy to grow . Could be prone to mold in an uncontrolled environment.

Hello Diary, The Milky Way F1 is ready to harvest soon, although the Titan F1 ripened first and is already ready, the Milky Way F1 and Apollo F1 will have to wait another week in my estimation. The Milky Way F1, as seen in the photos, is truly a sight for the eyes. The flowers started to get more and more brown pistils, but looking under the microscope, the trichomes are not all milky yet. So I'll leave her for another day. Otherwise, the flowers are full of trichomes, from which a strong fragrance spreads. Here and there a yellowish leaf appears, which I immediately remove. Watering is a little more frequent due to the high temperatures, but I stopped adding any nutrients. Here's a quick recap of the week. 26/06/2023 - Day 58. Watering. Only two days later, the plants drank all the water, so I watered them with two liters for each individual plant. 29/06/2023 - Day 61. Watering. I repeated the procedure as I did three days earlier. 01/07/2023. - Day 63. Photographing plants. That's all for this week, see you soon.

Week 18 Daylight 12h40 - ☀️7h40/20h20🌙 🌈Weather changed a lot during this 2 week, alternating sun and rain with medium temperature: low in the morning 8°C and 22/24°C the afternoon. Cold wind: Autumn is coming soon! 🍃 This is the middle of the flowering cycle for 2 plants and the beginning for the others; and it’s harder than I imagined. Interminable war against pests: caterpillars and leafminer flies (+ guest :aphids). However the environment is clean, there is some sticky traps, ventilation and preventives treatments (Neem Oil, Garlic/Laurel) but infestation are a recurring problem 😩. Majors reasons of the proliferation are the hot temperatures in greenhouse, the quasi inexistants natural predators, humidity, plants proximity. September is the reproduction period of the cabbage looper: a butterfly which lays eggs on plants giving some hungry caterpillars. Some others pests are attracted by the nitrogen added in soil (batguano) I did a serious defoliation, continue to check the plants morning and night to catch intruders, sprayed regularly with Neem oil. For the moment the flowering continues. -Brake Pad Breath: plant has definitely changed of physiognomy, branches are covered by a lots of resinous flowers with a pretty good smell. Indica dominance. Around 3 or 4 weeks till the harvest. It will be long: the plant is a victim of pests and caterpillars and lots of leaves are damaged. -Flash Back#2: elegant plant, pretty good flowering since 3 weeks. Globally healthy despite of the pests aggression. Sativa dominance with long internodes distance and a vigorous stretch. -GMO x Zombie Kush: same difficulties against predators, late flowering, just initiated the flowering process but in a good way. -Royal Moby: the tallest one; around 170cm, not really adapted to dimensions of the growing space and not discrete. Plants was really shocked during the first wave of pests and after the sunburn. Late flowering, Sativa. 💦Watering : 2L/plants/48h -grower Master Floraison + Enyme -grower Master Floraison + pk 13/14 -grower Master Floraison + Cal/Mag

From the looks of it. I am in early stages of root rot. Plant is not growing as fast as it was at all. It can be a few things. Light penetration into the bucket. My water temps are around 70f. So I think that's okay. I had some extra mylar from a grow I did years ago. Cut pieces to go over the kids hopefully that helps. I took out all additives besides CalMag. They were fouling the rez as usual. Dropping the Ph as usual. I think it's also the cause of the root rot. I have sprayed soaked with h202 and have added it to the reservoir after a cleaning and a water change. Looks a bit better. I'm located in Canada and I cannot find hydroguard anywhere. Which kinda sucks. Any alternatives would be great. Thanks

This week we haven't really experience anything too crazy, plant C had a little underwatering issue she got thirsty started to look pretty weak the 1st day of week 6 (for her only) she had recovered by the end of day 1 before going into the dark cycle. As the week progresses we should see some more tricome production and some more development of the bud sites. I'm hoping the underwatering that happened won't stunt or hurt the end yield too bad, that was a bad moment of laziness... whoops. Overall I haven't had any problems yet with pests there's been a lot of gnats and spiders on the outside of the tent but nothing on the inside. For a cheap tent it's working awesome. It does have some light leakaround the zippers but this isn't a problem for me as I'm growing in a darker area already. But if this were in a bright room all the time this tent would be a bad choice. Now as week 7 progresses we'll start seeing more rapid Bud development and see some increased tricome production. To think this girl (plant A) is just barely over halfway done is crazy. I have ended up removing the entire bottom 1/3 of the plant in the form of defoliation of the yellowed and dying leaves. People say don't defoliate Autos for shock reasons I hope it doesn't really matter.

Finally harvest time arrived 🤗 It’s been a great run, though I had to improve a lot along the way. But as usual there was a way to get things done and finished up😎 After a long heatwave I decided to chop the whole tent, just a bit before I actually wanted to. But I see amber trichomes and heavy buds, so I think it’s safe to chop now, so here we go. 🤩 Can’t wait to taste this after so long watching over it🤤 More details to come.

Well it would seem I'm addicted to growing as predicted. In the last week, I had a friend donate me a 2x4 tent. So I went ahead and grabbed an HLG 135w Rspec to compliment the 100w V2 3000K I already had. Set up the 2x2 as a veg room for next grow so I can get a perpetual garden going. Onto week 1 of flower nutes from Green Planet. Seems like my ideal inflow EC is 800. Still watering just twice daily at 6am & 6pm. Adding nutes in correct NER, adjusting EC then adding macronutrients as well as GPH at the end. Massive amount of growth going on now. Node stacking and branches coming up to join the canopy. Considered defoliation but if I'm going to do it, I'm going to wait until the girls pre flower. I do not want to interrupt photosynthetic growth and trigger the flower phase. Each day these plants stay in veg equals more weight in flower when we are all done. Added an Exhale bag. Science seems to dictate that additional co2 will not create any additional growth in a vented tent (like mine). Also, your lights need to reach a concentration of 1000µmols/m2 which mine do not. But I had already paid for the thing and had it shipped before learning this. Oh well, I'm sure it wont hurt! Keeping the lights up high to try and keep some stretch going. Will update as the week progresses
