I finally harvested all of my photo plants. So my 2 auto plants are getting an outage for the rest of their lives I have moved them both into my larger tent with more light and more room. I’m sure 100%h sure why both of these plants are alot light green. I think it’s I got a little behind on the nutrients but the green is slowly comeing back. It’s been hot lately I have the lights running at night now

Welcome to my Crocketts Confidential diary. I am currently week 5-6 with 5 plants in a smaller 2x3 grow tent. I currently have a 150 true watt LED light about 20 inchs overtop. These girls are something different. Very short distance between nodes. The smell is also unlike anything I have experienced. These girls are putting off a smell stronger than my flowering tent, its crazy! Almost a earthy/skunky smell. Im excited to see how these will respond once we hit the 12/12 cycle. Before that though I want there to be a somewhat significant stretch in veg. UPDATE: I changed out the blurple blue/red LED for a one with more of a fuller spectrum, and honest to god they exploded within hours. Excited/anxious/nervous to see what happens over the next few days, I'm sure this tent will be full very soon now.

Der Duft lies etwas nach, die Luftfeuchtigkeit stieg an. Ende. Der Anbau dauerte nur 83 Tage vom Samen bis zur Ernte der reifen Blüten. Auto Elephant ist leider in der Hitze bei über 37 Grad Mitte der dritten Woche in die Blüte gegangen. Ich werde sie nächstes Jahr wieder anbauen und auf stabileres und milderes Klima in der Vegetation hoffen. Auch der sehr stickstoffreiche Schwarzkohlekompost hat ihr Probleme bereitet, so vermute ich. Er eignet sich wohl besser für photoperiodische Sorten als für Autoflower Genetik. Ich werde den Kompost beim nächsten Mal anpassen müssen. Die Blüten hängen zum Trocknen. Ich melde mich bald mit dem Ergebnis und in ein paar Wochen mit einem Vape Bericht. Es ist meine zweite Elephantendame und soviel kann ich schon jetzt sagen: Bombe! Super harzig, extrem lecker. Ein High, wie als wenn du auf einem Elephanten sitzend durch die Wolken schwebst und dabei einen Blick auf die Dinge bekommst, die dir ansonsten verborgen blieben. Ein High wie damals beim ersten Mal. ;-) 🍌😄 Danke für‘s vorbeischauen. Bis demnächst. 🐘🌱🌵🔥

Day 15 - First day in the second week of veg cycle and I am generally happy with both ladies. Cheech is looking like she is bending over a little with the weight of her leaves, so I’ve given her a bit of help to keep her steady and strong. I’ve also noticed that the roots on Cheech are sticking together and a bit darker than I would like. This could mean that the air stone left a “dead spot” where the water wasn’t circulating properly. I’ve adjusted the air stone to be more centre in the bucket and made sure that the water is cold enough to prevent potential root rot. Will need to keep a close eye for the next week or so. Lights have been not been adjusted (still at 60cm from seedlings) because there has only been about a 2cm growth in the last week. Changed the water (10L), buckets and nutrients to keep everything healthy. The tubes for the air bubblers are wiped down because the nutrients stick to the pipe. Milwaukee PH controller is running for about 1 hour to bring the PH down again from the addition of the nutrients and change in water. Day 17 and we have a clear front runner in Cheech. Her third node is open with a fourth clearly visible. Venezia has a clear third node, but it isn’t fully open yet with the fourth just barely starting. Day 20 - Cheech has a clear fourth node now and the fifth is starting to show whereas Venezia is one node behind. They are looking healthy and they will be ready to be topped in the coming week of veg

Today i start flush 💦

week 6 last vegetative week, due to tent size no pre flowers yet no thrips this week. leaves with 9 tips now 57cm height (+ pot) flowermind (4ml + 0.5g) LST + Defoliation + bending started putting some banana skin on a jar filled with water for flowering looking pretty, right?

well, another week and just watering as needed, it should have yielded a lot more this strain is also not known from a local seed bank but no problem. I think the temperature, because I spent most of it being very hot, didn't let them grow, well, but I'm already starting another cycle and soon I'll start posting more here in another grow =D

Day 50 and a new week... the summer comes back to germany and "Hilde 2.0" goes well 🙏😀 Day 51 ... the summer is back in germany ... sun and heat 😎👍... good for the Buds 😉🙏 Day 52 summer sun and warm weather....😎🙌🙏👍 Day53 hell yeah....sun and hot weather 😎🙏👍 Day54 summer sun and heat sounds like fun again 😎🙏👍

We definitely had the lesson of over waterring, too much love seems like. But think we recovered and on the right track. Waterring every 2 days now, when moist deeper but closer to 50% dry. Started adding maybe 1/4 dose of grow nutrients, think will include the rest of the Trio this week starting at perhaps 1/4 rate? Plan is to move to 1 gal fabric pots when they are a bit bigger in a week or two hopefully.

Overall very happy with this plant grow. She was by far the hungriest of the four plants in this grow, but she still developed nicely, loads of sticky sweet smelling buds. Will update in 2 weeks, after the first smoke. Update! Smoked the first buds from this harvest, the smoke was smooth, light berry/fruit taste, it will get stronger as they cure in their jars. Overall, I am happy with the plant, the bud product and quality. She's not a super heavy indica, but she can still pack a punch!

Week 5 They are really doing great at the moment, by day 35 the DP GB OG is no longer behind and she is growing in a fast paste. I think this are goiong to be big plants. they still have to go in flower so.

12/16 MONDAY!! I nearly died from all the work yesterday........ Got ALL 7 ......but... I have never put spouts in dirt before....It took 6 hours to get the new tent setup for some reason and the tails got too long on the seeds........I didn't prepare right....did everything in one day instead of....well shreck..... New tent is AWESOME, CannaKan is AWESOME.... Re-using dirt AWESOME. I might be a little retarded. 🎉👍3am!! 4am!! 11am looks good. CBD not sure yet and one other but still the best Ive done so far! I had a seed from Dark Devil Auto by Sweetseeds that also didn't lose its shell on its own. I got that one off and it grew just fine. 1217 7am Just finished SEED SURGURY!!!🚨 Successfully!!!!!!!!! removed a stuck seed AND the impossibly thin skin coating preventing the sprout from opening!!! 9am looks great. 12pm ALL are GO!!!! I didn't get Gorilla Zkittlez planted right but she's coming around. 100 per cent success..... CANNAKAN Changes everything. As I get better at this I will be able to grow more plants. I get more enjoyment from growing lots of smaller different plants, I can do that so much easier now. IMPORTANT.... I ONLY buy dirt that is sealed airtight and made for INDOOR HERB, or lavender dirt. Sunrise Soil Herb is the best, I cant find it on amazon now. So CannaKan, Sunrise Soil Indoor Herb, and the best seeds in the world....WOW!!! 2pm CBD is looking great, but.....Garlic Muffin #3 must have hit something in the dirt maybe old nutrients, but I dont think she's going to make it. Maybe though. 12/18 12 am Garlic Muffin died....... Im going to do 2 more plants today. Probably Critical Kush to replace it. 11am. They are looking great!! I only lost 1. I didn't get them in the dirt soon enough, the one that died. Lesson learned. So excited I started a new grow!!! Fast Flowers this time. The new Spider Farmer Tent will be perfect for that, CannaKan what a difference!!!!! 12/19 1am All are looking great 12/20 4pm WOW they are all doing great!!!!

Week 7 of flower in the books and we’ve had to adjust to the height issues in an attempt to salvage what we can of the largest mains on the cheese. Really should’ve done this 2 weeks ago and while it’d be preferable not to supercrop this late in flower - there really wasn’t a choice. It was done early in the week and the plant is none the worse for wear. On the whole, the nute burn issue has been rectified and while the damage isn’t massive, it’s still really obvious. For all the above reasons, We’re really not going to get that late flower look with this plant. Kinda sad there. Otherwise, the plants have begun to colour up and were quickly coming in to the harvest window. At this rate it looks like the gorilla cookies and cherry Bomb will go off first, with the cheese to follow and the lemon haze last. The GC is absolutely covered in trichs. We expect a great finish for this one. She’s unlike any pheno I’ve seen on here - ducksfooted with a pineapple shape to her heads but again, got it where it counts. The cherry Bomb is similar but also true to her description - huge cherry diesel scent coming off this plant. She’s chunky and sticky too so very pleased she’s made something of herself. The lemon haze is developing And rounding out slower. Trich production is moderate and I suspect she’s got a week longer than the rest. We’re getting there - maybe a week to 10 days. Almost time for jazz hands👍😎. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

This high-yielding 4th generation auto-flowering strain is the resulting hybrid from the cross between selected specimens of our Cream Mandarine Auto®️ (SWS29)) and a Super Tai’98 elite clone. The genetic coming from the Super Tai’98 elite clone contributes with interesting Sativa characteristics to this hybrid, such as bigger size, but also subtle aromatic and spicy tones with hints of wood and nuts. The so much appreciated Cream Mandarine Auto®️ genetic contributes with traits from the Indica side, such as high flower and resin production, but also sweet and fresh aromas with tones of citric fruits of the mandarin orange type.

Day 64 — The art of lazy outdoor growing continues 🌿 The sun is finally showing some strength here in the UK, bringing with it higher temperatures and increased watering demands. My girl continues her simple yet highly effective outdoor journey, happily receiving 2L of pure pH-balanced tap water per session — always oxygenated to give the water that fresh “life taste” before feeding. The recent top-dressing of Plagron Bat Guano (applied on day 60) seems to be doing its magic. The flowers are visibly thickening, pistils are multiplying, and the bud structure is clearly advancing into the next stage of development. The plant’s growth in height has stabilised around 80cm, holding steady for the second week now, which suggests that most energy has fully shifted into flower production rather than vertical stretching. As planned, my cultivation remains purely natural — no covers, no tents, no boosters — only high-quality super soil, nature’s cycles and minimal human intervention. This entire project is a personal experiment to prove how low-maintenance outdoor growing can still deliver excellent results, especially when working with resilient genetics like this FastBuds CBD strain, perfectly suited for making high-quality home-crafted CBD oil without any psychotropic effects. The plant continues to thrive under open skies, enduring the mix of sun, clouds, and rain with ease. Each passing day brings her closer to maturity while letting nature do most of the work. So far, I am very pleased with the development pace and the healthy formation of the buds. We now enter the critical weeks where flowers will bulk up further — patience and stable care remain the priority. 🌞🌿
