This week I tried to let them go, only did some gnat hunting with the vacuum to keep populations down. Sunshine found a great way to hold the plant down with some thrift store Christmas light fixtures. At the end of this week, I tied the remaining upward stalks down and away. The final bits of training before we can hopefully go towards flowering coming week. I did some foliar feeding also to help the soil dry out a bit, also to fight the gnats. Maybe overdid it a bit with a few yellow points on the leaves. On to flowering!!

Sticky icky

08.09.25 the first week of September was a mix of sun and clouds on the balcony. The seedsman strains continue their road to frosty flowers and the quick sherbets now also join in the tracks. Repeated H2O2 Spraying didn't fight the powdery mildew on the Sherbets enough for me to let it go, I'll get some hardware store product to have tried everything in time instead of yapping afterwards. Also I applied 100g of flower fertilizer as top dressing. Thanks to Bavarian Krauts for hooking me up with this cheaper alternative to the greenhouse feeding line, it performed very nice on the first half of flowering, now this is the dose for the last chapter of 2025 making sure nutrients last to the end of the season. There are still leaves turning yellow on the flowering plants but the amount has come down and the overall structure now seems ready to support the buds and give them good direct light as well.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis Quel plaisir mes amis tout y est dans ce diarie ! À par le rendement 😁 mais bon ce n'était vraiment pas le but car je me suis rendu la tâche encore plus difficile en tentant l'expérience solo cup challenge avec main-lining sur une autofloraison. Merci pour tout vos compliment votre soutient et votre gentillesse. Je me suis vraiment amusé et j'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir avec ce diarie, mais j'ai surtout beaucoup appris. Que la force soit avec vous 💪

07.07.2025 Flowering day 9 and rooting day 9. Both, flowers and roots show up now. 08.07.2025, 09.07.2025 | Flowering day 10 and 11 Did some lollypoping

Week 5 of flower and seed production for all these plants has started in earnest. We cleaned up the tent somewhat and took down all the males after having done their job. Alls left is to wait for finish now. The nute deficiency appears to have corrected itself now that we’ve balanced out the ratios a little more. The WPM is no match for the sodium bicarbonate but still gonna have to keep on top of that to the end of the grow. Full fumigation of the grow spaces will be required - multi-day process I am not looking forward to. Time cleaning is time not growing, sadly. We’re coasting to the finish now but should still have some decent updates on our super secret seed harvesting method once they’ve fully matured😉👍. Hope everyone’s well and grow’n that straight 🔥. Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

Note: Moisture and Temp readings are done in the mornings. Lights are on an automated 12/12 schedule unless stated otherwise. Quick Summary: This week I fed the plants only 1 time. Since all plants are drinking slower, all were watered less, and less frequently. AK1's issues seemed to slow (not stop) this week. Most of AK2's leaves are gone, the damaged leaves haven't gotten worse and the remaining green leaves haven't been damaged as much. Since I'm seeing green on AK2, and nothing smells or looks too weird I'm going to continue growing. North is still growing strong, started the weirdest and is pulling through strong. What's weird is I think all plants including North is being affected by the same thing, but AK2 is suffering the most. Harvest tracking: - North may have about 1-2 weeks to go, most trichomes are looking cloudy and some are clear. I'm waiting until I see virtually no clear ones and slightly amber ones. - AK1 may have 3-4 weeks (assumption based on how North matured), most likely less yield too since it's sick midway into flower - AK2 may have 3-4 weeks (assumption based on how North matured) Day 92 - Manually Watering. 💧: Tap: X pH Adjusted with pH Down. AK1: 1 liter, 1/2 Distilled, 1/2 Tap (6.45 pH, 0.5 ml FloraMicro, 0.5 ml FloraGro, 0.75 ml FloraBloom) ~430 PPM ~830 EC AK2: 0.7 liter Distilled Water (6.25 pH, 2 ml H2O2) North: 1 liter, 2/3 Distilled, 1/3 Tap (6.10 pH, 0.75 ml FloraMicro, 1 ml FloraGro, 2.25 ml FloraBloom) 💦: 41% (39-61) - 🌡️: 25C (22-29) Day 93 - Away for a few days, setting up auto water with pH'd Tap Manually Watering. 💧: Tap: X pH Adjusted with pH Down. AK1: 0.75 liter (6.45 pH) AK2: 0.75 liter (6.25 pH, 2 ml H2O2) North: 0.75 liter (6.45 pH) 💦: 41% (39-61) - 🌡️: 25C (22-29) Day 94 - Auto Water, running at 0.75 liters per 11 hours. AK2 was not watered. 💦: C% - 🌡️: xC Day 95 - Auto Water, running at 0.75 liters per 11 hours. AK2 was not watered. 💦: C% - 🌡️: xC Day 96 - Auto Water, running at 0.75 liters per 11 hours. AK2 was not watered. 💦: C% - 🌡️: xC Day 97 - AK2 is basically down to its buds, the lower section is the only place with some greenery left. I guess I'll be taking it into a leafless harvest. Surprisingly the soil is only slightly dry after 3 days of no watering. AK1 has a lot of fan leaves, especially in the upper section starting to turn completely yellow. It seems like only fan leaves are affected. Manually Watering. 💧: Tap: X pH Adjusted with pH Down. AK1: 0.7 liter (6.45 pH, 0.75ml FloraMicro, 1ml FloraGro, 2ml FloraBloom) AK2: 0.7 liter (6.25 pH) North: 0.7 liter (6.45 pH, 0.75ml FloraMicro, 1ml FloraGro, 2ml FloraBloom) 💦: X% - 🌡️: xC Day 98 - Tracking what little remaining leaves AK2 has for symptoms of improvement or issues. Cut some more yellowing fan leaves off AK1. North still chugging along just fine. 💦: 34% (34-56) - 🌡️: 28C (23-30)

This one takes the cold very well

2025-04-13 to 2025-04-19 I have started the flush and will be harvesting in the next few days. The aroma on this cultivar at time of harvest is a combination of musky earth and citrus. No nutrients are used the last 10 days.

THIS STUFF IS MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harvest Day 1 moved whole plants to the inside dark room -Day2.5 after 36h choped plants and hang the whole plants -Day 4 removed fan leaves plants continue to hang -day 5 trimmed the buds and cutted them into branches then were put into dry box -day 7 trimmed buds and was put into airtight plastic containers(opened) -day 8 closed containers for 1h -day 9 closed containers for 24 humidy raised from 60% to 62% -day 10 buds goesvto the final cure ............................... Through the whole process humidy was controled 50% all the time and temperature 25celsius

Overall it was quite an easy grow, but one of the seeds had some kind of genetic disease so it looked very different to the rest and produced the least in the end. Alpha: 16g Bravo: 27g Charlie: 19g Delta: 19g Echo: 33g Total dry: 114g It was very clear from the beginning of how Echo was trained that it will yield the most in the end. I need to try to replicate that during the next grows 😁 But overall this strain was very quick and produced extreeemely dense buds 😍

This was the best yielder of the 4 but only by 1 gram VS the Tangie-matic Another amazing smelling strain, It is like sweet creamy berries in a candy bar this will be great as desert after a nice meal. happy with the out come of this auto from MSNL

Welcome to my 1st fem soil grow: Drop a like so I can visit your grows if you'd like, regardless thank you for your interest . 1st soil photo in the ground. Will be a few days before she shows leafs as I only waited till she showed about 2mm of tap root and she got planted 3/4 of AN inch down and soil lightly folded over and sprayed her with 100ml of mix with 1.5ml/L x3 400ppm. La Sirena is the only nutrient here that changes the EC. 1 5ML adds around 300+ppm to 78ppm water so. I decided to give this girl .5 more as she's going to be in the ground longer and has a long veg life. I'll be running her on TERRA POWERS full 19 line up. For this 1 I'll be following there chart as a guideline for nutrients and when to apply. As for the dose, that will be down to me. But if it's 2ml/L or whatever it is. It'll be getting that in 1L mix a week, (meaning she'll be fed exactly the ml/L as her total feed of that nutrient for the week. So this plant as she'll only be getting fed by ML not by many ml/L mix.) So when she's young her ml/L dose will be low as she'll have to take in a L of her or a high 2ml/500ml she'll be fed on a nutrient ML basis only. 2/5/22 VD1 Popped her head up. Can't wait for this 1, I've also got her in DWC Which is about 12hrs ahead. Have started on a light diet. 555ppm 4/5/22 I decided to go against the chart and give La Calavera for the root stim, I know we are a few days in but I'll wait until 2.5 weeks and stop the La Calavera. 6/5/22 So, it's begun. I've created a negative pressure environment, 1st time, let's see if it makes an impact. On wk 3 onwards I'll be running the intake extraction for 5mins every 30mins and I'll have 2 co2 bags up. If the RH becomes a problem or temp I'll put the extraction/intake back on 100% of the time. The extraction fan/intake is set at a ratio of 2 to 1. (100% extraction 50% intake) making a negative pressure environment, best way to show you have done this, the walls in your tent should bow in lightly Same Day. Okay, so this my last update. Going to run fans the same right up until flower and then I'll be sealing up my tent and adding 2 co2 bags. And will be adding a dehuimifier and setting at 45% And it checks every 30mins and if it's gone up it'll turn back on and bring down to 45 or set RH, so no co2 will escape. The temp will be bordering 30-33c and then when they go into their rest window they'll be transferred to to a negative pressure environment with low temps and 45-50%RH. I'll only be able to do this for the 3 weeks of pre flower. And maybe some more, it depends how hard the dehuimifier will be working, but i want dense buds and only way to improve that is by introducing Co2 and then a negative pressure cold environment for terps. Then I'll be putting them back into full negative pressure environment and the Co2 will be useless, again all depends how it's gonna affect my bottom line. That and I only have 2 intake fans. I'll be going into detail about my Co2 adventures the week before I'll be prepping them to be able to withstand high temps, so I'll gradually bring up the temps the last wk of veg 28c max and that way when I push it to 30-32c in pre flower she won't stress as much. Thanks for reading this week, no more updates, just pics for remaining week. gottagrowsometime

Plants have been flowering with Terp Tea Bloom, Mendocino Honey, and Fermented Pumpkin Extract for 10 weeks with Build A Soil Bloom Booster for the past 2 weeks. They are getting close to harvest. Smelling absolutely wonderful.

Can’t wait for this to finish drying and curing!

Flowering day 34 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The buds have developed incredibly nicely this week. The smell is getting more and more extreme :-) . The growth has slowly stopped as the full energy goes into the production of the buds. Watering was done twice this week, each time with 1.2 l (nutrients see table above) They were individually inspected and checked for their health. Osmosis water for the coming week was refilled in a 100 l tank 👍.

Day 84!!!! I came back from vacation and immediately started harvesting, this girl is no exception, she is ready for it :) so in general, spring and summer gave the girl everything... a lot of rain, strong wind, cold temperatures, hot temperatures.... well, nature didn't mess around:) but knowing that she grew on my balcony on the north side, this is a really good result:) I admired her on my balcony for 3 months:) her flowers are very stiff and strong, there will be an update when the harvest dries:) good luck to everyone:).
