10/28/2025 What a day! We have started the Bloom Nutrients, cleaned out the reservoir... To be honest, I don't know what people are talking about with dirty things. My whole bucket was super easy and fast to clean. Frankly it really wasn't dirty at all. Kinda like reusing a cup. Nothing wrong with it. Just had something else in it. Anyway, quick and easy. I used distilled water. 4 gallons per bucket. I think my TDS meter is broken. Either it's really that high or these plants love it, but the reading is 1020 ppm and the EC is at 2000. That's really high... I think. I have no idea. I've read that people couldn't get over 300 ppm without burning their plant. While I'm at 1020 ppm. Something is wrong here and I can't figure it out. I've watched them like a hawk for the last 5 hours. And they look super happy and healthy. Not a single sign of toxicity. Just follow the instructions. Lol. So why am I looking at numbers that should burn them? Maybe I'm wrong. But I think they can just handle it. No idea how, but these are tough plants. I'll update with any signs of stress. Anyway, moving on. Ahem... So I definitely need to do another clip traing on Papaya Cookies. Not really sure if Lemon Cherry Cookies needs it. I'll see tomorrow. Also, these 2 are finally showing real traits of what they are. Papaya Cookies is definitely sativa as the description says. Like seriously sativa. Thin leaves, skinny branches. At first I thought it was the stem issue, but then I realized that this is what it's supposed to look like. Skinny but strong. Anyway, she is starting to grow too tall in the middle, so I need to pull down some branches with those clips I got. Lemon Cherry Cookies is certainly showing her indica traits. Wide leaves, bushy stature. Thick strong branches. Beautiful green color. (Papaya Cookies leaves are much lighter.) Lighting: 27" away from the canopy. Power 90% 278 watts. 615 PPFD I might have to dim the light a little when they grow closer to it. Maybe. It all depends on how much higher I can get the light up. I think there's 8 inches of space between the light and the ceiling. I'll figure it out. The environment is still perfect. The humidifier and heater barely run. And if they do, it's like level 1 or 2 of power. Not much going on in there to change the environment. But I did get my new exhale 365 bag. It's supposed to take a few days to get going, so we'll see what it looks like in a few days. The CO2 level is around 900 ppm. I'd like it a bit higher, but it's ok. I don't think I'll record the environmental readings. They are generally all the same. And it's honestly getting a bit redundant. Especially when they are already recorded in the list thing. See you tomorrow. 10/29/2025 No picture day. I assure you they look wonderful. Both plants are starting to show buds. They should start stretching any day now. Each of them is 12". Very green, very healthy. I'll have to pull down 2 top branches on Lemon Cherry Cookies after lights on. Just 2. They are sticking up too high above the others. Also, it'll help fill in a hole in the center of the plant. Still looks pretty bushy. That's nice. Papaya Cookies looks awesome! Even after her little infection. Definitely stunted and I would have expected her to be taller than her counterpart. But she isn't. However. That's not stopping her from producing tons of bud sites. I may have to go with the scrog net after all. Unless she hardens up and can hold the buds. I don't think so. I'm gonna have to use the net as a support. Lighting: So I lowered the light to increase the DLI currently it's sitting at about 42.5 mol. The PPFD is around 630. Something like that. I'm going to double check when the light is at full power. I was going to increase the intensity to 100% but I decided I should wait a few days since I lowered the light. I'll get a measurement after the lights turn back on. Honestly, my goal is to have the light as high as it can go with max intensity. I'm not sure I can actually do that with this 300 watt light. I also have the CO2 exhale bag I can consider soon enough. If it works as they say, I can probably increase the DLI to 50 mol. We shall see. Environment: There's actually something to talk about. So I live in an apartment converted from a house. There's a total of 3 apartments. Someone, not me, cranked the heat this morning and the tent hit like 78°. I know it's not a lot, but still not within my precision mastered range. Lol. Hell, my AC isn't doing the job. The lowest it's been is 71° in the house. Back up to 72° but yah, in the house it was like 75°. Anyway, that's it for the day. I'll check in later with any changes. 10/31/2025 I'm sorry everyone. I've been super busy the last couple days and didn't have time to add to my plants adventure tale. So I noticed at light level 9, the plants were praying pretty hard. I thought to myself well then a bit missing light. So I turned up to max level 10. Watt output is 310 watts. I don't remember the DLI, but it's like 44 mol. Anyway, I checked on them about an hour later. They were still slightly praying, but that's good. It just means they needed a bit more light. I'll keep an eye out for light stress. Also, I think I figured out a thing. Cannabis grows trichomes when it is stressed out as a defense mechanism, no? As in a strong aroma coming off in the veg stage. Isn't that a sign of stress. In particular light stress? Obviously when flower hits, it will smell from the flowers. But as a vegging plant, it should smell like a leafy green plant and not strongly of trichomes. It's just a theory, but could be useful if I'm right. To summarize, veg stage should smell like a plant. Flowering should smell like weed. And as it's known. It builds trichomes to protect against light stress and a few others I can't think of at the moment. Wind burn too I think. More like environmental stresses. Something the plant would have to protect itself against. If you have an idea in regards to this theory, I would be glad to talk about it. Send a comment and we can maybe start a discussion. Anyway, I let the pH float yesterday. Today it was dangerously close to 6.5. I don't understand why it increases so much. It doesn't swing either. Just spikes. It's seriously annoying not knowing why. I will learn thos somehow. Back to 10/31/2025 Happy Halloween everyone. 🎃 So today I will be taking some of the training clips off. They are starting to get too small for the bigger branches. I'd like to take them all off now, but I have a lot of small branches that need to be woody and thick. But yah, all of those are coming off. I've also decided to see if the light at 90% will still cause major reaching. And if so, maybe I should let it be. They can stretch right into the light. Or I'll leave it at 100%. I'm not sure yet. Any suggestions? Feel free to comment on that no matter how old this diary is. The temp seems to be perfectly ok, but the humidy is starting to climb with the plants getting bigger. So it's dehumidifier time. I'm planning on buying the AC Infinity one that connects to the system. But I have as small one for now. Environmentally speaking, everything is going great! Not too much wind, decent air exchange and bouncy CO2. Not sure how to fix that. I was considering routing the end of the exhaust duct back into the tent. I think I will. When I get these vent port caps. They are light proof but also provide air exchange. So I was thinking of taking the duct. Sticking it in the top vent port and letting that air flow through. If it works, I should have plenty of CO2 in the tent, the temp should stay pretty constant as well as the humidity. Well, kinda. The dehumidifier would have to work double time, but the other accessories, like the heater and the humidifier won't need to run as much. And considering this AI is keeping my tent spot on, I'm guessing spot on to spot on would make a perfect mix. We shall see. I have to wait a week or so for the port covers, which sucks. Because this is the very beginning of flower and I would love for the CO2 levels to be in the 1200s. I think. Lemon Cherry Cookies looks absolutely wonderful. Lush broad leaves. She'll definitely need a trim at the end of the stretch. Speaking of stretching, she hasn't done much of it. Like an inch or so. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or if I'm just being impatient. But I have had plants with the greatest care only get to like 18" tall. This Lemon Cherry Cookies looks like it might be one of those plants. Super bushy, but really short. Trimming after the stretch should open up some much needed air space. But as I said the leaves look great! No signs of any issues whatsoever. And the root ball! It's huge! I can't take pictures because I have to hold the lid up. Believe me, it's big. Papaya Cookies looks pretty good as well. She's actually taller than her counterpart. By a good inch or 2. But that is most likely because she's a sativa. Where Lemon Cherry Cookies is an indica. In that aspect everything is perfect. And! The stem isn't getting big big, but it's definitely expanding. Not like the other one, but still. She still definitely needs to be supported, but I expect good things. Maybe not big things, but good ones. Her root ball isn't all that big either. Kind of expected. However, I do have 1 more seed I think. Maybe I'll pop that after the next run. Hopefully I'll be in a bigger place with space for a 4x4 tent and my 3x3. That would be pretty bad ass. 3x3 for autos and vegging photoperiods. The 4x4 for the flowering phase. Autos stay in the 3x3. An endless supply of weed right there. That's all for the day. 11/01/2025 So I wake up this morning to a legit bush. Lemon Cherry Cookies seemed to go PUFF and blew up like a balloon. I'll definitely be taking out some leaves after her stretch. I think that's the best time to trim an autoflower. But only once. Small snippets, in my experience, are fine. But like just a few leaves here and there. Papaya Cookies is starting to stretch more. She's also starting to fill out now. I'm expecting a much larger plant in the coming week or so. She's still a very healthy plant. No idea how, but even her lower stalk is fattening up. She might be a little bit behind, but she's starting to become more active. Honestly, she should be taller and a bit larger than Lemon Cherry Cookies. The way the stalk looks on both of them, Papaya Cookies wins. Up top anyway. But the bottom is small, so less production I think. The environment is spot on still. I think I'll leave the light at level 9 for now. I might turn it up after the stretch. But for now, level 9 it is. The CO2 is pretty low in the tent. I forgot to tell you all. The new exhale 365 bag came in and is already in place. That was nearly a week ago. My bad. Anyway, it works, but then it stops. I might route the exhaust duct back into the tent above the canopy after I get the port vent caps. I think that'll work. This is good. Because winter is coming and it gets cold here. So I'll need as much heat as I can get. Well, not really, the heater I have is fantastic. But you get it. The heater also brings in a ton of air. Enough where it balloons the tent. I'm having trouble getting the pH to stay at 5.8. it jumps to 6.3 daily. So I guess I'll just keep fixing it. Lol. Anyway, that's all for today. I'll update with any changes. 11/02/2025 Well well well. Look who came out to play! Both ladies are doing quite well. Lemon Cherry Cookies is by far the winner of this run. But you never know. Papaya Cookies might shoot up but I'm pretty sure she won't get that big. Her root ball is kind small. At least compared to Lemon Cherry Cookies. Hers is huge. I can't take a picture because I have to hold the top and the roots. So big. Anyway, I had to top off both ladies today. They were about a half gallon low. I added a little bit more bloom to help prepare them for the next water change and then bloom goes up. And we add the p/k boost. So I figured exposing them to a very small extra dose would probably do good. Other than that and the huge root ball, nothing much else to report. The environment is perfect, as usual. I'll definitely be trimming after the stretch. They are getting really bushy. That's all for now. 10/03/2025 Good stuff happening today and possible bad stuff as well. Good things first. These 2 plants are getting nice and plump. Well Lemon Cherry Cookies is. Papaya Cookies has a few lower spots. Her canopy isn't very even at all. Thelmouter half just stopped growing. She's also showing signs of nutrient deficiency. She definitely has enough nutes. It's because of her smaller trunk. I could be wrong, but that's the only thing I can think of. I checked for bugs with my microscope. Nothin. Checked everywhere for signs of rot, root rot and anything else that could potentially be causing the yellow spots. They are burning through it looks like.

The discoloured images are zoomed in iomages through a magnifying glass. The main plants are very close to harvest =] I will begin flushing I think after 1 bout of Cannazym, with aim to harvest ~10 days after. I will tailor each to the plant's unique stage of life, as they're not all equal EDIT: Thank you to one of my commentors; Ezzjaygrows answered grow question 6 days ago Yeah I see no point in going to 10.. your diary says these are autos tho? They can take more than 12 hours of light. You got multiple strains going or what? I do have multiple strains, but they're all auto. Thank you for the point added to the list of things learned. I knew they could take more than 12h, but I was managing remotely, and I thought anything but 12-12 would require , say, 18h for 6 weeks, 16 for 2, 12hr for flush period (I'm aware had I given them more light it wouldnt have taken 12-13 weeks.) On the positive side, I saved a picture of a "best case" Creme Mandarine bud, and reasoned my way to "Yeah mine will probably be 35% as nice, in quality, yield etc." - Sure, these arent Cup winners, but FUCK ME, did they turn out so much better than i expected. Now why's that?; I humbled myself and lurked Creme Mandarine grows and learned and learned and learned. So thank you 'Ezzjaygrows', and thank you Growdiaries =] Don't worry. My 2nd will be diarie'd too, and this time, I wont be remote managing with literal remote CCTV and PH meters/Moisture meters in the CCTV shot. I lost 2 seeds thanks to the person i delegated minor observational management too, a young plant was let to dry out, harming it later on it life, AND he second guessed me constantly. Tera Vega / PK was missed because he thought he knew better.. Which he does... For outdoor.

The original Purple Punch is a cross between Larry OG and Grandaddy Purple, illustrious and stable indica dominant THC-rich heavyweights! The total grow cycle from autoflower seed to harvest is a short 9 weeks. You will be rewarded with a large yield of sticky resinous buds, up to 600g/m2 indoors. If you’re looking to grow a high quality indica auto made with cannabis cup winning genetics you will love Auto Purple OG Punch. THC content is always up-to/around 20%. Auto Purple OG Punch effects are intense, euphoric and relaxed. She also contains around 1% CDB which contributes to the very smooth, chilled smoke. Expect a mouthwatering blend of sweet tasting candy, dark fruit and hints of spice. A real connoisseur cocktail with powerful effects! She normally reaches around 1m tall. But in optimized conditions with LED grow lights you can see occasional monster plants up to 2m tall with XXL yields. Auto Purple OG Punch is easy, potent and heavy yielding indoors. She also delivers well outdoors - such as the balcony or garden. Auto Purple OG Punch is a perfect, powerful strain for a quiet relaxed day. The calming indica body effect is very satisfying and de-stressing

It was easy to harvest she was very small jut cut it quickly without stalks the wet weight is 17 g of the buds. Smell is like spicy lemonish smell. This site has changed can not update and edit the comment section. The smoke is nice it is kind of relax and strong high. Not the best but not even bad. I like it.

Growth kind of exploded in week 4. The LST and topping leads to major bush properties. I keep the plant in check by removing major leafs and metal hooks.

They’re still doing their thing so it’s chill time, until I have to chop em because the place I’m renting will be on the market and shown starting Monday. I already have 1 plant in a drying tent on day 4. So it’s candles and candles and hope for more amber by Sunday. HARVESTED!!!!! harvested the remaining two plants on 3/6/21 ill update when I have the answers 3/13/21 Still curing, still hanging, and today I just had to sample a tier 2 bud. Everything seems to be on point.

So far so good. This is week 2 or 3of flowering and no issues so far. The fan leave are starting to thin out but I guess that Normal in the flowering stage. The only question I have in this stage is what should my humidity but for the flower stage ? I heard any where from 60-40?

Started the week with some Low Stress Training and continued to add and rearrange the ties throughout the week. There are a handful of reasons to LST your plants but the main reason should be to train the plant to grow with an even canopy when flowering. If you were to just grow your plant without any training, the plant would typically grow like a Christmas tree where the star would be your main top cola and have smaller buds (larf) on the bottom 3/4 of the plant. When trained correctly and achieving an even canopy will produce multiple large colas across an even canopy allowing as many colas (bud sites) as possible to be the same height from the light source. The Pineapple grew quickly which made the LST very easy and it worked out great in the end. The Purple was not growing so good and that was disappointing considering the other Purple that was growing in the other space grew very nice, similar to the Pineapple. Getting a runt / mutant is more common than one would think. At this point Feed was every other day and 3ml in 3L Ph between 6 - 6.1 *This week switched both SF2000 lights on and was having heat issues which didn't get corrected till late in the week.

All the girls are coming along nicely. Pro-mix is furthest into flower, followed by Coco, then 50/50. The pheno in the 50/50 mix is still throwing out alot of pistils. Just ph'd water from now till the chop. Thanks for viewing, Stay tuned (up), more to come! Peace, DeaneR😎

She’s a bit of a mess after changing res for a flush , will need to sort out something easier next time . Also wish I had scrog to make better use of this little light , Day 83 started a flush , will part harvest in a few days as I’m going away, buds could be better they are somewhat sticky pistils look ready , Ordered a loupe a little late . has been a good learning experience, Notes - don’t over do nutes early - change res more frequently - try lollipop and use a scrog - invest in a higher watt light for yield and tighter bud , - don’t grow near summer heat major issue , autumn and spring more ideal

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati qui per gli aggiornamenti sul diario stellare Questa settimana è andata più che bene direi, 3 ragazze hanno preso il volo rispetto alle altre 2, che mostrano ancora rallentamenti dovuti alla troppa foltezza delle foglie e la poca luce nei siti inferiori.🤙 Nel complesso alla grande, ho eseguito dell altro LST e nel giorno 24 e 28. Negli stessi giorni ho anche defogliato per aggiustare i rami mentre li legavo.👍 Ho bagnato loro nel giorno 25 con 2 litri di acqua e nuts, avevano davvero sete il vaso era leggerissimo.🔝 Anche per questa settimana è tutto amici Grazie per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti stellari.🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita🌱🌱🌱
