This week I changed the whole tent. I switched over to a MarsHydro TS1000 and have it cranked up to 100%. The light came in and I immediately had to separate the controller from the light and fix the mounting hardware. But that led me to realize I can have a much more temperature controlled and consistent environment. This light is a cool running light. Shout out to the light sponsor MarsHydro for the opportunity to break it in and let her loose next grow!

My overall impressions of this strain from MSNL: Ive noticed that MSNL genetics tend to switch to flower earlier than all the ther autos i've grown. The initial growth on the plant starts out small going into flowering but then it starts to explode in growth. Because of the fast flip I start my feed at week 3, I used the full NFTG advanced feed, but only at 1/2 the recommended amounts of the early veg schedule they made. This plan of attack worked out well with these plants and by week 5 they could handle the full Nute schedule. A proper flush was needed at-least twice a week during the flowering period. It is a lot of work to maintain PH and soil PPM but its essential with the NFTG and if you do it right you WILL get rewarded with Danky goodness. I did the same exact training for each of these plants but right off the bat it was clear I had two very different phenos. Plant A grew very compact with extremely tight node spacing and barely getting to a foot in height by flowering. She was kind of tricky to train initially but I was successful at LST and light defoliation and that was pretty much the extent of the training she had. She grew to be short, stout, and plump AF with way frostier trichomes then her sister. Plant B was real easy to LST because she grew with a very wide open body type to begin with, the polar opposite of Plant A to be frank 😂. I was able to shape her easily and It seemed very successful due to the sure size of her buds ! I had close to 10 main colas on her that ranged from 6-10 inches long and she started to tilt over cuz of the weight towards the very end 😅 Overall I would definitely recommend using LST to some extent with these genetics because of the small initial growth you get at first. Start the nutes sooner than later. maybe week 3, but at half the strength. Feeding the soil would be a good idea right from the get go. Mammoth P is a cool microbe that targets phosphorus directly and recharge will slam pack your substrate with beneficial microbes and ive noticed a very clear difference after incorporating these into my NFTG feed. Another thing I did that seemed to help was weekly epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) sprays on top of my bloom khaos foliar sprays. I didn't deal with any deficiencies at all this time around following this feeding regiment 👌I also didn't notice any popcorn nugs on any of my stalks and I contribute that to my feeding schedule and the Spider Farmer SF2000 202W qb , that thing seriously blew these plants up! would recommend 100% !! Dubes~ *UPDATES* March 1st- I removed the two GDPS from 32 hours of darkness and chopped branches to hang and dry. Plant B had a wet weight of 19.9 oz! while Plant A finished at 12.1 oz wet(this is with branches and leaves still on obviously). Im attempting hang drying for the first time because my drying conditions will work better with this method. Im using my flower tent with the inline fan/charcoal filter for air circulation. Also gives me the ability to dry in complete darkness. March 7th-Trimmed both plants today after hanging for 5 days at 40%RH 62-68F. Plant A yielded 1.9 oz (54 grams) dry and Plant B yielded 3.5 oz (98 grams) so a grand total of 152 grams !! March 14th(1 week of cure/burping)- flavor update 1 week in of curing .. Pheno B is putting out huge diesel and berry aromas almost a little herby but mostly berries/diesel . Flavor is nice with hints of incense , berries, and diesel .. really good joint smoking week. Pheno A is completely different Than B , I do not get any diesel / berry smells at all its more of a fresh pine / herby smell. Im more keen for Pheno Bs smell because its more pungent and stands out a lot more but they both make excellent smokes and get me super stoned! March 20th(2 weeks of cure) - Yup this stuff is great. I love rolling Js with this shit because it gets me right where I need to be without needing any more. I can't believe how dense I got these nugs to be compared to my last run. I incorporated c02 into this grow half way through so maybe that helped achieve the density but one small nug fills my grinder up with fluffy danky bud!! Match 31st- (4 weeks of cure) - Both phenotypes ended up fantastically dense. One little nug fills the grinder 100% I would say this is the perfect smoke for anxiety and relation. The green pheno didnt have a berry flavor at first but the berries definitely come out. Both phenos have different aromas but similar tastes for sure. im still undecided on which pheno I like more. The purple one stacked up huge colas and out weighed the green pheno but the terps on the green pheno are way more pronounced and I even think the high is a little more intense. April 7th- (5 weeks of cure)- The money spot. all this weed is premium quality compared to my friends "street purchase" bud. I am giving this away to multiple friends and I can't get them to stop bothering me for more haha. Definitely a great relaxation aid and sleepy time medicine if that's what you need, seems like most ppl need their night smoke before bed these days so this is the strain they need! 100%

Super proud of these girls they are some strong growing autos! Critical kush is killing it. I'm hoping they wait 4-5 weeks before flowering but not my call. Gave them about a quarter cup of veg nutes they havnt seemed to respond negatively

Hi 😊✌️💚 The FatMonkeyAuto is in the final stages of waiting for 20% brown trichomes and then it's harvest time. I can only recommend the FatMonkeyAuto. It has good growth and is better for outdoor use or tents over 2m high. Because in a 180cm tent you quickly reach the limits. It smells spicy and fruity and the buds are nice and compact. Thank you for your time 😊👍 For more just follow and like 💚 Thanks

Howdy! I have premixed 1L worth of PH adjusted nutrient solution which I am periodically syringing on top of the rock wool when it starts to get dry. I see some people only use RO water with cal-mag to start them off, but through my own unscientific opinion I figured 550 PPM won’t hurt considering seeds grow in soil and that isn’t exactly nutrient free! I am using RO water which I will keep in a 70 litre bucket ready for the DWC system once it is up and running. RO system was only £50/$80/€60 from the internet and it’s getting my hard water down to 0-1PPM from 450PPM. Growing my ladies in a smallish tent, 60 x 120cm which is 180cm high. Using one 315w LEC/CMH for the first two weeks, and then adding another 315w after week two. Using 4200k bulbs for veg, 3200k bulbs for bloom. Will take more pictures of the set up in the next week or so once the babies are in the 70 litre DWC Bubble System. Planning on buying Silica Blast to compliment nutrients in the next week or so. Ps, I believe this is the first DWC grow diary for Strawberry Lemonade, hopefully my mistakes and successes over coming weeks will help anyone who reads this! 🌱

17/10/2022 - 71 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 The sixth week of flowering of my BCN Power Plant 🌴🌴🌻 Nutrients: Jungle Indabox - I will still be serving this week and I am adding Jungle Indabox Environ X - bud stimulator 🌼🌸🌼 Advanced Nutrients - Big Bud - I canceled the bud stimulator mix and stayed with Jungle Indabox because the other girls got a little burnt, the classic brown color appeared on the tips of the leaves 🍃🍂 I stuck with Bud Candy, all my girls need lots of carbs 🍭🍭 Atami - ATA Calmag - when growing under LED lights it is recommended to use Calmag and Atami is an excellent brand Training: I only defoliated again, not as much as last week, but I still see too many leaves in the buds 😩 🍃🍃 Light: Believe - the best light of sponsor Mars Hydro TS 1000 💡💡 In general: The plant is strong, manages nutrients well, absorbs as needed. The leaves are still deep green, you can see that it is a sativa. So far, there is no indication that it is nearing its end. As far as flowering is concerned, it is the slowest so far - compared to the other ladies in the box. It still only has white pistils, only occasionally some brown, and the flowers are not yet fully formed 🏵️💮 I think at least within a week. It smells really beautiful, it revealed its spicy scent 🌶️🌍 Thanks for the likes and you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @ Targona666 See you soon 😍

Week 6 flower. Not much to report with this one. Growing very slow, little buds, smell musky and not very nice but improving, very frosty and getting frostier. Watered in Gaia Green Soluble Seaweed Extract 0-0-17. Day 36 flower I turned off Blumat drip and will water with the watering wand from here on out. Just another potential runaway dripper so I eliminated the risk. I will just build another reliable system with a timer and use the Blumat outside. Thanks for the view! Have a great week!

Day 56 There's only 9 plants left on the microdrip getting straight full tilt and slf100, the rest are being flushed using the water wand to give the longer running strains enough time to mature. The Polar Vortex 6's , trop juice 1, garlicane 2, garlicane 5, Polar vortex 4's, platinum silk and platinum gushers are gunna come down this week.

What a mission, finally I am at the end of my four cycle, she’s my last plant to be harvested, sadly she lost 60% of her bud, her main stem and a lot of brunches snapped 😭😭😭😭😭😭 off during heavy rains, I cannot believe it, it has been four months last I posted, 😂😂😂😂, I so sorry, rest assured she reached harvest and there is proof, what a journey… so many times I wanted to give up and uproot her, but look at her now, she’s the most potent strain in the 4th cycle, and trumps everyone with aroma, taste and high. Cannot wait to do it again, this time with mOre maturity and care. She gave me 63grams, though the scale says 67, the plastic I weighs 3 grams.

This is the beginning of each week. So I flushed them and switched nutrients. They were mag deficient, nitro toxic. Not PH actually. I'm adding co2 next week after I seal the room. I think I need to back the PAR down to 800 but they are still alive and it's over half way done. How any more weeks? I thought this was a 65 day auto. Hydro in a 5 gallon pot could add up to three weeks I heard with Autos. could these go 12 weeks total?

Last week went well. She is growing up at a good steady rate. Hope it continues like this for another week in veg and I think it will be a decent sized auto for being in a 3 gallon container. I started lst training and because of how fast it grew,.it started to split the plant in the middle at the base of the branches. To avoid it splitting and causing damage, I did some supercropping to help even out the canopy some. That's the main goal of the week is evening up the branches.

Sigue creciendo bien, súper frondosa, semana a semana se le van quitando las hojitas que tapan los brotes y se amarran las ramas mas grandes al contenedor.

Ai Gude Growmies, Alter Tobi (NL auto)🧓🏼🌌: 5.6= 21cm 8.6=29cm +8cm Canna Terra Vega Gorilla Punch Auto 🦍👊🏻🚗: 5.6= 20,5cm 8.6= 25cm +4,5 cm Canna Terra Flores / Canna Boost Mimosa Cake Auto🍹🍰🚗: 5.6= 23cm 8.6= 30cm +7cm Canna Terra Vega Habe mich gegen das Toppen entschieden da es noch mehr Stress bedeuten würde und ich beim ersten mal Autoflower Genetik lieber auf Nummer sicher gehen wollte da. Endlich bin ich auch wieder im Wochen takt das es immer Sonntags die neue Woche hochladen kann. Fangen wir beim Alten Tobi an dem Sorgenkind nachdem Blatt Schaden fing er an sehr gezackte und verformte Blätter zu entwickeln. Natürlich ist der Punkt das die Erde am anfang zu trocken war und ich tauchen musste um die Erde richtig zu wässern. Denke der ganze Stress ist daran schuld und ein Teil die Genetik weil die anderen 2 haben sich wie ich empfinde gut entwickelt. Oder meint ihr die Pilze wo im Topf wachsen haben damit was zu tun was ich mir nicht vorstellen kann oder ? Die GPA wächst sehr gut in die Breite und entwickelt massive stabile Seitentriebe. Sie ist den anderen geschätzte 5-7 Tage voraus. Hatte gehofft das sie mehr in die Höhe schießt da die anderen ihr 5cm voraus sind. Werde wahrscheinlich einfach sie. Höher setzen das sie mit den anderen gleich hoch ist. Sie hat als einzige schon Blüte Dünger und Booster bekommen vor 2 Tagen seitdem explodiert sie förmlich🤯 Zu guter letzt die MCA sie hat die trocken und wässer Phase gut überstanden. Leider hätte ich den Vega Dünger nicht erhöhen müssen da sie jetzt leichte Adlerkrallen hat. Ansonsten habe ich sie nur entlaubt da für LST die Triebe noch wachsen müssen und sie ist nicht so Dicht verzweigt ist denke ich geht es ohne solange an alle Triebe ausreichend Licht fällt. Da ab jetzt bei allen definitiv die Blüte beginnt habe ich vor 2 tagen die ADlite Red-55 (660nm Deep Red 55w) zugeschaltet und die Haupt-Lampe von 60% (400w) auf 80% (520w) geschaltet da es endlich die Temperaturen wieder zu lassen. Die 2 anderen Pflanzen sind Fettkraut Pinguicula spec. "Guatemala" meine natürliche Insekten Falle. Diese Art ist sehr robust und kann auch mit Kalk haltigen Wasser gegossen werden.
