10/12/21: lights are at 60% and around 18 inches from the plants. disposed of the freak plant from earlier weeks and now have only 8. installed a six inch extractor and carbon filter fan on top of the grow room. also added an inlet fan to add more oxygen into the tent. Air circulation is good with 2 large fans blowing the air around. the plants themselves are thriving - 300ml of filtered water every other day. one plant is larger than the rest - affecting light spread somewhat but it looks too healthy to give up. aiming for around 6/7 weeks in veg for this set up.

10/20/24 #1 mainling is going good. plan to transplant to final 3 gallon pot soon. #5 seems the most hardy and lives anything thrown at her. dry environments. humid environment. shes happy all the time. i dont remember which number off the top of my head but it wouldve been the tallest plant. the only one that ive topped so far because she was stretching more than the rest. she has a strong pungent dank stank smell coming off of her already in veg. so thats something to note and i will definitely be keeping an eye on that. #4 has been transplanted into a 5 gal fab pot and placed into my flowerring tent. im probably going to start a separate diary for each pheno through flower because they will all probably be flowered at separate times. they may overlap but they will all be on different time tables because i have my plants on a cycling through the flower tent. not necessarily a planned out perpetual grow yet but similiar in the sense of plants being pulled down and new ones ready to go. 10/22 transplanted #1 into her final 3 gal pot. training is set now she just needs to grow bigger before 12/12 10/25 transplanted #5 into a 5 gal fabric pot. also she is already showing purpling on her leafs

Week 5 Report: Big Cheese Auto Blossoms into Flower Power! Hi Guys! Buckle up for another thrilling chapter in the saga of our green queen, the Big Cheese Auto. Week 5 marks her grand entrance into the world of flowering, and oh, the excitement is palpable! Big shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep surprising and delighting us. As we transition into this flowering phase, it's like witnessing a well-choreographed dance, and our Big Cheese Auto is stealing the spotlight. 🌸✨ The Autopot system is proving to be a game-changer. She's sipping on her own schedule, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. It's like having a master chef in the kitchen, deciding when and how much to feast on those nutrients. Now, let's dive into the nutrient symphony: Regulator (0.15ml/L): Our humidity maestro is still grooving. The dance with Mono-silicic acid (Si) continues, ensuring a stress-free environment as our star transitions into flowering. P-Boost: A round of applause for the latest addition to our nutrient crew. P-Boost Provides a large amount of organic phosphorus (P)and brings a powerhouse of organic nitrogen (N) and highly concentrated L-amino acids. It's like giving our plant a secret weapon for flowering. Calmag (0.25ml/L): Calmag, our guardian of structural integrity, remains vigilant. Strong stems, sturdy leaves – the foundation for the floral fireworks that lie ahead. All-in-One Liquid (1ml/L): The NPK trio continues to be the backbonebut (just for this week), but here's a twist - the soil pellets are now in play. It's like the stage is set, and our Big Cheese Auto is the leading lady in this nutrient-filled drama. Start Boost (0.25ml/L): The roots are thriving, thanks to Start Boost. It's like a construction crew working tirelessly to ensure a solid foundation for the upcoming bloom spectacle.(i will stop this ) Topbooster: Introducing the bloom and maturation stimulator that's about to revolutionize our green symphony. Topbooster is the 100% organic maestro with a concoction of active ingredients that scream "flower power." L-amino acids, polysaccharides, trace elements (B, Fe, Mo), bloom-promoting natural plant stimulants, and vitamin complexes from natural fermentation — it's a holistic approach to enhancing the flowering response. How Topbooster Works: It's a botanical ballet! L-amino acids: Leading the floral development and maturation charge. Trace elements (B, Fe, Mo): Assisting in the intricate dance of floral development. Polysaccharides (sugars): Stimulating nutrient uptake and microlife populations, like a sweet rhythm for our plant. Vitamins: The conductors of hormone production. Gibberellins for shooting, cytokinins for cellular division — it's like the choreography that transforms a bud into a floral masterpiece. Together, P-Boost and Topbooster form the dynamic duo, ensuring our Big Cheese Auto doesn't just flower but does so with a grandeur that elevates the end product's quality. Larger fruit, more fibers, resins, and sugars — it's like a recipe for cannabis opulence. Aptus Mycor Mix: The underground alliance with mycorrhizal fungi is strengthening. Picture it like a secret society beneath the soil, enhancing nutrient uptake, and fortifying our plant's foundation. NutriSpray by Aptus Holland: The foliar spa treatment continues. The microelement cocktail is like a VIP party for our leaves, creating a protective shield against nutrient deficiencies. 🚿🍃 Training Update: The leaf-bending symphony continues. It's like sculpting a masterpiece, preparing the canvas for the grand artwork that lies ahead. And the best is yet to come - defoliation is on the horizon. Clearing out the clutter, allowing her to shine from the inside out. TDS and pH: Our numbers are looking sweet with a TDS of 390 and a pH of 6.0. It's like hitting the perfect notes in a musical composition, creating an environment where our Big Cheese Auto can thrive. As we transition into the next chapter, the anticipation is building, armed with the botanical brilliance of P-Boost and Topbooster. It's not just cultivation; it's an artistic expression of nature's bounty. Flowering is like the crescendo in a symphony, and our green maestro is ready to lead the orchestra.

Have got the pH cycling between 5.8 to 6.8 every 3 to 4 days. Started lowering the nutrients in preparation for harvesting in @ two weeks. Getting excited to get to the finish line. I smelled her today for the first time when I walked into the Batcave but the Grow Chamber is doing very good at controlling any huge odor. The humidity is stable in the low 40's as is the air temp which stays between 70-75 degrees. Added some Fugazi to Daphne's playlist. - recently i have seen articles about keeping pH constant. I will try this on my next grow.

11/24 I was checking the bottom of the pot looking at the roots and I accidentally hit one of the colas off the light and it almost broke it off. Thankfully it didn’t that’s why I have that random tie connected to my tent pole. 11/27 the main colas fan leaves are really starting to fade which worries me a bit since it seems a bit too soon, but oh well we are going to ride it out. There is not much I can do at this point without making it a harsh smoke.

12th week. I removed some unwanted yellow leaves. I really like this plant, nothing changed, watering happens the same way and same amount of water. I am so excited. Really nice flowers on it and stinky like citrus smell and sweet very well coated with THC. Beautiful plant and really short.😅 I just checked the trichomes and they are still immatured, not even milky. Very strong smell and big buds. Beautifully coated with THC everywhere. I love this plant. Fan leaves started getting yellow as well. I think it is 4 weeks more approximately to be finished. I removed some fan leaves the biggest ones as it started turning yellow because the plants takes the energy out of it. Better airflow and more light to the flowers, and good tea for me from the leaves 🥂🤪😇 I also set the lamp distance to be 20 cm. End of the week Purple Punch is 43 cm.

Hey guys! Another update! 😃 This week is going to be the last one that I feed the plants and after that I'm going to just flush them for just one week. I took photos during the middle of the week just to see how trichomes were developing and there are more ambar! I want the top colas to be about 50% ambar and 50% cloudy while the ones below 30% ambar and 70% cloudy and I think I'll be able to reach that with ease. Besides that this week was relaxing, no big issues! And I've been removing more fan leaves so when the right moment arrive it'll be easier to clean the plant! And that way I can get some extra development in lower colas. The smell is strong now compared to other weeks (it's been getting stronger every week!) 😲 PD: The question is still up! In case anyone knows what could've happened 😱 Thanks for reading! 👋

Semana del 26 de abril al 2 de mayo Semana de mucha lluvia así que está costando mantener baja la humedad del indoor, ya que en el ambiente ya está alta. Pensé que algunas plantitas se pondrían más moradas o rojizas pero que va, están con un toquecito de color y nada más. Última semana usando el AK47 (1 ml por litro) Volvieron los bichos, así que hoy 1 de mayo volví a aplicar el Tec Fort. Además tuve un accidente. Se me cayó el TGL60 cuando lo estaba subiendo para fumigar. Lo bueno es que el foco no dio contra el suelo, pero cayó sobre la malla y adiós a una ramita de cogollos. No era mucho pero igual dolio. La corté y la puse a secar, no tendrá mucho thc ahora pero entre que se pierda y fumarla igual, pues me la fumo.
