Hey hey everybody! I hope you all had a fantastic week and I am excited to be back for our latest update which marks the end of week 15 and the beginning of week 16! Now I don’t know if it’s just me or the beginning of the year can be explained off as Mercury being in retrograde (I’m not saying it is, that’s more my wife’s deal- I wouldn’t know either way) but things have been absolutely nuts over here and I needed a little something good to help level out the crazy… I have some awesome things in the mail (still rolling in from the spending spree I went on) but truth be told we were between deliveries, and I needed instant gratification- soo I may have accidentally brushed up against the timer and flipped to flower ( and by accidentally brushed up against, of course I mean I fully intentionally programmed the time to flip to flower in a moment of weakness…🤷‍♂️🏻) Am I sorry? No… will it slightly kill me from an aspect of my struggle with occasional OCD? Oh yes…. Ohhhh yesssss…. That little corner is/was driving me nuts but I figured it was time to just let it do it’s thing- honestly once I noticed I picked a pot that was too small for what I was trying to do, I should have just there in the towel, flipped and taken it as a learning lesson for next time…. Buuuuut alas, I am stubborn and that is NOT how that went down… I’m still excited for what’s to come, we should have some (hopefully) pretty impressive things developing soon so I am stoked! That being said however, I have also had some unimpressive things happen, for instance- yesterday, I go in to feed the girls and my light is off! I (obviously) must have screwed something up when I went to change the light schedule- specifically, due to the fact that there are 9 or 10 possible lighting schedules you can set, I think I had correctly set the on/off times BUUUUUT I think after I had switched to the next programmed on/off times which were incorrect- I noticed when I saw that the lights were off, they should have been on for another three hours (give or take) - so I immediately started messing with the timer and turned the lights back on and continued to tend to those lovely ladies. I then went and made dinner- after, I just had this feeling that I should check on the tent, just in case- and sure enough, an hour after the lights were supposed to be turned off, there they were, on like grey poupon (I apologize I haven’t heard that in like a decade or more, had to

This week was also uneventful, growth has been slow and I'd say its half my fault with PH issues and over feeding which I'm correcting moving forward; and two unstable genetics. I dont have much info on growth patterns for this strain but its supposed to look a beautiful dark purple so I'm gonna breed a male and female hopefully. I'm also looking forward to the fourth phenos straits, I kind of hope its different just to have fourth completely unique phenos.

This week I defoliated. Waited three weeks into flowering, to not stress them like I did last grow. She is rewarding me with some fat bud growth at many sites. I overwatered beginning of this week, but hey seemed to have taken it well. I did another amendment. The first one last week was a test, to see how they responded, they took it well. Just compare last week to this one. The amendment I did: - 5 liters of worm castings - 2 cups bonemeal - 1 cup wood ash - 1 cup microlife I layered this on top of my pots, covering this with bio-coco (pre fertilized) to ward of gnats. The gnats have been getting less and less. They don't like the coco that much, while humidity is just the same and last week higher since I did some more watering. I watered with the perma tea. While this is pretty acidic (PH 5), I can amend with more wood-ash, if you don't and follow this recipe, don't do too much wood-ash since it will kill off your micro organisms. I lowered the light diagonally since the outer right plant is longer and closer to it. The SP 3000 is still performing as you can see. Temps were a bit higher with the lights so low, so far the Orange Hill Special doesn't seem to mind. Im totally amazed with the results so far. Look for the great end of year deals at www.mars-hydro.com. Thank you for checking in on me again! Hug Bud

The first week of 12/12 light schedule is over and the stretch is on. Most of these plants are getting huge. I gave each plant a 10 gallon flush and fresh nutrients. Upped the maxibloom a little and increased the reservoir volume to 25 gallons since I won't be around to check on them this coming week. I am thinking we should have some pistils popping on the next update. Nutrients are pumping 24 hours a day. Excited to see how these start to frost over the next few weeks.

May 5, 2025 Harvest Summary Most plants have been successfully harvested as of today's date. Two specimens remain and are scheduled for harvest later this week, allowing for optimal maturation. Growing Method This cultivation cycle utilized a Biotabs "just add water" organic feeding strategy in conjunction with an Autopot XXL system. This combination proved highly efficient, significantly reducing maintenance time while ensuring consistent nutrition throughout the entire growth cycle. Growing Environment Lighting: Sanlight EVO 5-150 LED lights Environmental Control: Growcontrol Growbase Pro system Medium: TERRA PRETA MJ-Mix Irrigation: Autopot XXL with Flexi Tank and Airdomes Results The harvest yielded exceptional results across multiple phenotypes of the same genetic lineage: Smaller Plants: Each produced over 100g of dried material Larger Plants: Estimated yield of at least 200g per plant (final weight pending completion of drying process) Quality Indicators: All phenotypes exhibited excellent terpene profiles with pronounced aromas and high resin production (noticeably sticky flowers) Observations The current generation of autoflowering genetics demonstrated remarkable growth characteristics, comparable to traditional photoperiod varieties but with the advantage of automatic flowering transition. Plant size exceeded initial expectations, resulting in specimens larger than anticipated. Recommendations for Future Cycles Early training techniques are recommended for similar genetics to better manage plant architecture and potentially increase yields. Implementation of strategic training methods during the vegetative phase would likely optimize space utilization and light exposure throughout the canopy. Conclusion Overall, this growing cycle was highly successful. The combination of quality genetics, efficient automated watering, and organic feeding strategy delivered excellent results with minimal intervention required.

🍁Dicas e sugestões? As meninas agradecem! 📸Update de fotos, vídeos e informações diariamente. DAY 22 Estudado muito para ver se aprendo algo sobre NUTRIÇÃO DAS PLANTAS e consigo fazer um bom schedule. Daqui 3 dias começo alimentá-las com nutrientes minerais. Infelizmente preciso esperar os medidores de pH e TDS/EC chegarem. O pior é que acho que elas estão pedindo comida. Ainda bem que são só 3 dias até os medidores chegarem. DAY 23 Amanhã os medidores de EC e pH chegam! Minhas meninas finalmente vão ser alimentadas, estão famintas com certeza. Cresceram muito e comeram o “quase nada” que tinha no substrato. A deficiência de Nitrogenio (N) já pode ser vista nas folhas enroladas 90°. DAY 24 😃 Os medidores de pH e EC finalmente chegaram!! Já podemos começar a alimentação das meninas. Todos muito felizes. DAY 25 Todas meninas devidamente alimentadas. Muita expectativa para saber se elas gostaram dos nutrientes. Elas estão crescendo bem, mesmo com fome (até 1cm/dia). DAY 26 😍Minhas meninas estão crescendo maravilhosamente! Hoje reguei só com água, mas amanhã vou dar mais comida de novo. Escolhi dar alimentação 2 vezes na semana. COP está cada dia mais bonita. C4 foi removida do growbox e agora está na varanda aproveitando a luz natural. Agora são 4 plantas, as 2 mais fortes irão para a floração na barraca. DAY 27 As meninas receberam a segunda alimentação da semana e ficaram muito felizes. Aumentei a rega para 500ml/planta. DAY 28 ✂️ Para aprender e entender um pouco melhor como funciona e como elas se comportam fiz hoje poda de cobertura e defoliation nas plantas C1 e C3. Na C1 eu deixei 4 fan leafs, na C3 eu deixei 2 fan leafs. Espero que elas gostem do novo penteado. 🎃Obrigado por verificar meu cultivo.

Day 29 29/07/24 Monday Nice feeding today with De-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Gave her 300 ml and she had a small run off. Getting chunky in the stem now 💪💚 Day 31 31/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚 Day 32 01/08/24 Thursday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, there now taking 300ml every evening. Day 35 04/08/24 Sunday END OF WEEK 😁 De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron products. 300ml each. Had a issue with leaf invaders this week, I have treated and am checking every 48 hrs so far seems ok and not progressive.

12 day dry @ 58-63RH & 60-66F in blacked out dry tent | Glass Jar Cure with Inert gas Early taste test and I actually love this bud, is the best in house strain I've grown so far & the second Platinum cross. Flavorful Funky Sweet Orange cream cereal terps, the texture of the bud is buttery smooth, fluffy and pink/orange color when ground up. Bud has deeply potent effects that is IMO the perfect amount of heavy on the body but still euphoric and creative.. it makes you calm and happy! is checking off so many boxes not even cured, just smelling this batch makes a true connoisseur grin and bag appeal is insane

Everything is going great! Watering every fourth day. I’m spreading them out and trying to get a nice and even canopy. I also may add another small led later. Haven’t made up my mind on that yet.

Bud forming so fast!!!!!! Comparing to previous plants I growth in witch I used biobizz light soil I changed kind of soil in this one I’m using canna professional and the different is quite noticeable I’m really satisfied. I was worried that the small box I’m growing in would eventually make the plant suffer but it’s totally not, the plant is responding well!! Started with the maximum dose of bud ignitor by advanced nutrient. I’m really exited for this lady can’t wait to se the beautiful complete resinous buds.. keeping growing with LOVE 💚

26.07. Wedding Cake 1# Day 92# Wedding Cake 2# Day 86# Wedding has not grown much again this week, but it is still spreading abnormally, the trunk and branches are getting sickly thick, a huge difference from the last update... I don't think it will go much higher by the time it stretches, which would be ideal. Today it started to rain and it will rain for the next 4-5 days, while there will be storms for 2-3 days, and it will cool down a lot and the next 10 days will be much better weather... today I added another layer of netting to this row and pulled them through, in a few days I will add the third and let them grow through it. I forgot to take a picture of the second one, it will be in the next update..everything is the same with her, constantly hungry and thirsty, from the next feeding I'm going to force her with food, so let's see how much she eats because this is unreal lol Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Things are progressing with this grow. The nutritional issues caused by recent heat stress may have stunted growth a bit, but the buds are forming nicely regardless. They’ve started to bulk up, and now it’s just a matter of waiting for the final growth and ripening to finish. A lot of the pistils are still white, so we’re likely at least two weeks away from harvest. Until next week, Growmies! --- Quick rundown on everything else: Watering: 1500ml every third day Fertilizer: According to the BioBizz schedule Light intensity: ~1000 PPFD VPD: ~1.62 kPa Temperature: ~28°C Relative humidity: ~55%
