Welcome to my MilkyWay F1 Auto Diary, Untopped VS topped. Results are in. Days 71-82 ripening 0-13 week 11&12 Went well. She did bulk up a tad. But not much. They spent most their lives under a 100w. But, the bud is really dense all over. No larf, at all. Its a really good quality of bud I'm getting from both phenos. As far as ToppedVsUntopped well, that result is in. With a seeds used from the same pack (same parent) making true F1s as they need to be from the same batch. It why we all got different phenos, and those who ran more than 1, from their seeds, the phenos are very close. One of mine had more of a fade and looks more purple. Both smell very lovely & fruity. Nice trichome production with very dense but, rather small buds if I do say so. But the grade itself is very high. (As grade is not rated on size) overall both turned out very similar. Even fade wise, they've both developed a lovely colour finishing under high co2 environment with the SE5000 really has brought out a lot of fade i normally do not get. look at the start. It was only a few days under this light and the past 14 days they've both popped. I will also say. A lot of their life was spent under a 12-12 (3/5s of flowering). Topped VS Untopped pheno 2 & 1 Are very similar as I've stated this area will be filt in with harvest comments. Bud smell. How the dry went. And after a weeks cure. I'll rate it. So watch this space. These 2 phenos have been on just water for 10 days. I did a quick run off test. Got back 145ppm my tap is 110. So, they're good to go. Trichome wise. 95% cloudy 30-35% amber. (Hard to see, I'll try get pics with my scope) but, as you see. Both are fully ripened. Anymore and its just bud deg. Both plants leaves are showing end of life. Some are dying. (I'VE BEEN WATCHING THESE LEAVES AND SEEN THEY'VE BEEN DEAINED, ITS NOT BR) Lights The SE5000 was used for the Ripening phase. With high temps and co2 i pushed my boundaries and got a lovely fade reaction from doing so. How I know its down to this light as I've put my Runtz under it. And as soon as I did. It developed fade. My Frosted G even started getting light purple on its sides. The temp in tent has been pushed to 31-33c (that's not leaf temp as I've fans blowing on my plants, and that lowers surface temps by a few degrees.) They've been on 17hrs of high powered light. At 25-30cm id no choice. My temps are mad high this time of year. Harvested Both plants are been pult they're getting their last few hrs. You'll then see the last few pics in a few hrs. I'll get bud shots later, smoke reviews and then to be fair. I'll then mark it by the GD rating system. As I do with all my strains. (So I've 2-3 wk delay in my diaries as they're Harvested, mostly) both plants I'll try push them as far as I can through the drying process whole. But, as I'm dealing with high temps. Lower RH and a fastercl dry is pref to a longer dry in hot conditions might not make sense, but 30+ hot weather harvests, I've got this down. Mind you only this round all my other hot harvests some took a few weeks to rid the hay smell. This avoids it and locks in potency. Most of the drying is done by leaving the plant in the substrate just before the plant goes for itself for fluids. 4-5 day dry as opposed to 5-6 day dry with weed that loses half its stenght. (dry harvesting look it up) Thanks to James from RQS, although I know everyone and their sister got the offer for these seeds I am defo going to be trying more from RQS, if it's buying. I'll get round to it, and depending on the quality of smoke it might be soon. If its a real nice auto, I'd love to try a fem of theirs for my winter crop in October. But, that'll depend. I've lots I want to buy & try.. and when favs are found. I'll invest. I would like to thank everybody for the activity this diary has gotten. Its possibly one of my most active diaries I've done without a harvest. And that's in no short means down to all the views and likes from you guys. And for sure I will fully complete it, with results on the smoke Quality from both phenos, if it varies, but, results thus far, structure wise they're shockingly similar. Scary so. Topping has very little affect to the structure. She grew a main cola. But both phenos, turned puples I will say the topped one was a more troublesome plant. Maybe that had a role onin its morphology. And maybe it'll affect the bud also. The topped was more demanding nutrient wise, and drank more. Maybe to support a more even bud load. (I've yet to do a through inspection, but on the VS front, it's kinda in the air about quality, structure wise, it had very little difference. Look for yourself at the heights are 3-4cm dif) lots still to come. And I'll update it soon with more results. Again, thanks so much for the support, likes, comments and how active it is, an unfinished diary moving to my home page. 1st for me. So thank you. Also to my light sponsors who played a part in this grow. Although both phenos owe their bud quality to 2 x 100 watts SF-1000 (SE5000 was used for ripening lovely fade) and I used a P1000, they shared even light distribution in the end for the most part. So, thanks to Bella for the upgrade. I'm sure when I run an RQS strain again, this time I'll know only have the fade to show, but the bud size too. Thanks again my Friends. Updates pending as of 6th June. Edit June 7th Both plants are hung whole and drying 24hrs. I don't like how fast they're moving. The buds are already soft. Should still be hard at this stage only 30hrs in. They'll harden up in the cure no doubt. Let's just hope they don't shrink too much. Will give daily updates

6/17/24 she's winding down to the end(still a couple weeks) she's throwing out purple on the fan leaves. Thinking she may fade out nicely. 6/21 seeing some yellowing on the purple fading. Niiiice 👍

Decided to Veg for one more week!! I am watering the Mimosa and Jaeger with the Humboldt Secrets A+B 9ml each and Golden Tree with 2ml. I also added CalMag 1/2 tsp. I also put Great White Mico in the pp mixture and Big Foot in the mixture for MM and Jae. I used only Raw Grow about 2 tsp with a 1/4 tsp of cal mag in the instructions let's see how it goes. Dec 30. The plants needed defoliating pp the most I stretched the tops down a little further and trimmed mimosa a bit as well. Got the outer growth to the pot edges to encourage proper light penetration. I can tell I am going to have tons of bud sites!!

Well i figured i would try some different this week. I main lined her and topped her on day 9. Lets watch and see how she responds. I feel as though doing this early in veg will allow her more time to adjust before flower. Towards the end of the week 2, four days after the HST....we see 2 new main top braches coming in, as well as some action at the internodal cut point which is indicating a "Fimm" job rather my prior presumption of topping the plant. None the less i am excited to see her grow, and i intend on letting her grow naturally beyond this point....just to see the results.

Today I fertilized the last time and for me it is always like a little before "graduation", no plan 😁 Well in any case they smell really very good and intense and there are still 2 weeks until harvest, I think, but everything works well I think I always leave the trichomes up to 50/50 tires anyway 💣😁🤤 Otherwise I will defoliate the week that comes and remove old leaves that are more than 60 percent broken depends on how they look. Until then, have a nice week😁👍💪

Day 28 - lookin good.... checkin everything daily, adjusting as nessec. .... might start lookin at a top/trim/bend/flower plan..... Day 32 - post some ... watch the vid.. pretty sure u know whats about to happen here... lol i'm a pretty good grower... :) check out the base on both those super silver haze... that last video... shows u the perfect base and stalks and stems ..... those stalks are each going to be for a beautiful long bud... lol didn't really start with a clean glow solution.... so just kinda been winging it..... in the next week or 2 i'll think about flush both out completely, start with fresh new flower solutions, and switch to 12hr lights....... getting some awesome growth out of the 60 W on each plant..... thats 6 x 10w household led light globes..... 👍😎

Ehi ragazzi eccoci a noi! Le ragazze hibride stanno crescendo davvero rigogliose, le foglie sono proprio di un bel verde intenso del colore corretto ,ma quello che mi sta stupendo è la capacità di questa lampada Mars hydro FC E3000 di essere uniforme e intensa di qualità in tutte le piante ,le quali stanno crescendo in modo molto più omogeneo rispetto ai cicli precedenti! E sto utilizzando solo il 50 %della potenza di questa benedetta luce! È davvero impressionante , anche la velocità di crescita mi sembra aumentata rispetto ai cicli precedenti! Spero che tutto vada come ho progettato senza carenze di nutrienti.. ma purtroppo come bene sapete ogni ciclo e totalmente diverso dall' altro e ogni ragazza e strain differente hanno anche esigenze nutrizionali differenti, questo l ho notato solo con l esperienza, prima pensavo che bastava dare a tutte la stessa quantità e sarebbero cresciute identiche .. ma questo nn succede quasi mai, bisogna progettare e anticipare tutte le possibili variabili in gioco! Alla fine è "vita"❤️ noi stiamo crescendo della vita con amore al massimo delle nostre possibilità come fossero nostre figlie! Speriamo continuino così e che crescano in libertà nel miglior modo possibile! Buon 420 a tutti ragazzi vi adoro!! 👊❤️🌱🌿🌲

I came back after vacation, the girl is ready for cutting, the rainy weather has started, so there is a threat of rot, you can say I managed to find just a few small pits in time and removed them and threw them away, the big and stiff flowers look fantastic:) but after a long trip I was tired, so I didn't take quality photos :( no everything else, I am very satisfied with the result I got:) its smell already lets me know that it will be good:) a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash:) I will update the weight when it dries.

🌿Week 4: Defoliation & SCROG Setup Week 4 was all about structure and airflow. The canopy was getting bushy fast, with a ton of inner growth, so we went in for a solid defoliation session across the board. Lower fans, overlapping leaves, and shaded internodes were cleaned up to let light penetrate deeper into the canopy and reduce potential humidity traps. Right after that, we finally dropped the SCROG net, stretched out gently across the canopy to guide the branches horizontally and prep for flower stacking. Some of these phenos are already reaching for the sky, so the timing felt just right. Captured a full-time-lapse clip of the defoliation + netting process. It’s super satisfying watching the chaos turn into clean lines. Nature meets intention. Feed Bloom since 20/6 22/6 Defoliation 🌱 Plant Response: After defol, they bounced back fast. Tops are perky, leaves are praying, and stretch is continuing in a controlled way. The structure’s more open now — better airflow, better light distribution, better everything.

Let's roll it's week 6 😎 To start off, I want to sum up the last weeks. The conditions have been changing throughout all this grow. Overall it was more often sunny then not, so that's a plus. The negative side was the absence of consistency 😂 There were a lot of days with sun, rain and spicy winds. Day 35 The Team has grown a lot, so I'm doing portraits with 3 different perspectives and a profile for each plant. Springbrunnen will be shot tomorrow, Rocky in 4 days cause she's 4 days younger. But Zilla was the first to pop anyways so I think it's halfway even. Weather is 18/50 on average with 3h of sun today Day 36 Shooting Springbrunnen today. I couldn't convince the sun to come out at afternoon so the lighting is not the same but I want to shoot them at same age. Lots of winds and rain today. Day 37 Today winds hit heavy and I made a little video for all the MMA fans out there.. Watch the video (Zilla at the top is the ref) Joe rogan voice "Rocky closes the distance and starts a huge left-right-headbutt combo to the body of Springbrunnen. Nice body movement in the defense.. OOUH but she felt it, she's tumbling! But now back on solid feet..." ZILLA (Barney's Farm Gorilla Z Auto) Height: 49cm Appearance: Tree-like Scent: Strong, sweet/candy, hint of woody Infects: Tiny mildew on bottom leaf in week 4, now healthy, handful of flys near the cola. Nutrition: Thirsty, could take a lot more nutes I guess Qualities: Super thick and strong, almost like a tree, intense deep green. Adjustments: daily stretch mid leaves to prepare for leaf tucking, increase fertilizer to 75% of recommended dosage. SPRINGBRUNNEN (Kannabia Kickass Auto) Height: 48cm Appearence: slim, sharp the genetics original name was Bruce Lee and that hits it 100%! (her main stem is half the mass compared to Zilla) Scent: very strong, lemon, pungent and a hint of sweet Infects: Tiny mildew on bottom leaf in week 4, now healthy, handful of flys near the cola Nutrition: medium thirsty, didn't want a lot of nutes especially in veg Qualities: good leaf production, fast Adjustments: watch out to NOT confuse Zillas feed withhers 😂 Leaftucking mid branches

Entering week 7 and the fade is beautiful nice 👃🏽 dense buds I’m super excited to see what’s this is turning out to be

Sorry for the delayed post I honestly forgot I started this one lol...they’re doing great I had some of those biodegradable starter pots that I used n prolly let them stay in too long tbh but now they’re both in their new homes! One is all coco and the other is top-half coco/bottom-half soil..thanks for reading/looking

-Flowering going well -Gave a top dress of 1/3 tbsp of Gaia Green all purpose at end of week

The outdoor plant's stems are thickening and hardening af. This will be perfect for when my next light arrives; I will switch it back to flower and will support some fat buds. It is windy af; I am also twisting all stems on the outdoor plant every 3-4 days so they harden/thicken even more. I really might need to cut it to size before going inside again... I am giving it full veg nutrients (2.5ml/L fish emulsion, 1ml/L Activera, 0.8ml/L Bloom) with tiny bit of bloom; There are also some small pests eating some small holes through the leaves, but seems to handle it; I get rid of anything I see and will give it an organic pesticide (garlic and neem oil) spray before bringing it back inside. Indoor plant is going OK, the buds are fattening a bit slower than I want, The light is now also a bit too small for this plant as well; I want also the lower buds to fatten so some of the higher leaves are burning a bit but the middle is best. I might have given it a bit of nitrogen toxicity a bit ago but I lowered my fish emulsion and it stopped spreading,

Week 8 for Ztrawberry by greenhouseseedco, End of week 8 for this cultivar, Shes got a nitrogen deficiency that can hopefully be fixed right up by next week.

Day 21 Shes becoming very bushy, yet not gaining any height whatsoever. Turned the auto-pots + air-domes on to get water and oxygen directly to the roots 3 days ago. Feeding Cropsalt at 5.8ph, really enjoying it atm just look at their colour😍
