Flowering day 15 since time change to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) This week the ladies developed beautifully 👍. The stretch has started very strongly :-) . Watering was done twice this week with 1.2 l (see table above for nutrients). The heating mat does exactly what it is supposed to do, you can see that the ladies are doing perfectly again 😃. Fresh osmosis water was mixed with tap water in a 100 liter tank so that I would have enough stale water for the coming week 👍. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked. During the check, I noticed that after spraying neem oil 3 times, there were still a few damn trips to see. I have ordered nematodes for leaf and substrate against tripse. Then they should finally be gone again 🙏🏻 have fun and stay healthy 💚 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.exoticseed.eu/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed! Check www.mars-hydro.com for the latest discounts! Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting us try out your light, it made this successful grow possible! Greetings and all the best! Thank you to our friends here, our followers and the whole Growing Diaries community for just being there. Big Hug, Sunshine and BioBuds

Day 54-64 (June 14th-24th) (Day 55) I got a good look at all of the plants in the dark and all of them are quite faded out except for black garlic and the blueberries. Running multiple different strains that all feed differently would be a nightmare on a larger scale! (Day 56) Everything is looking on point and happy. Plants are drinking about a liter of water every 36 hours. (Day 59) Jack Herer #1 has some of the most wild looking foxtails I’ve ever seen. Not a very desirable trait but it’s cool to grow. It’s smell is pure bliss, it’s now matured to a mango funk. I will do a more in depth look at each strain after dry. Jack #2 is starting to pop fresh nanners. I think it is from stress due to lack of nutrients and/or heat stress from where it is in the tent. Both jacks are feeding really hard I’ve noticed. If these bananas get any worse I will just harvest early. Blueberry #1 is developing miniature seeds in its calyx’s and is starting to foxtail like crazy. It almost looks like it’s reveging. Earlier in the season I pulled off an entire bud that was covered in developing seeds but I couldn’t find anymore after that. I will likely find a few bag seeds in this pheno and Jack #2. Blueberry #2 is still terpless and frostless but it’s really starting to fill into it’s structure now. It’s getting impressively dense but that all it has going for it. This one needs to go 65-70 days at least. BAOGC #1 is so beefed up and chunky I love it. The main cola will be a good 6 grams and the lowers are thick gram nugs too. I will let this one go until day 65 BAOGC #2 is much smaller but a super hard feeder. It was one of the first to start yellowing. This pheno is pretty average in my opinion. It stacks a little tighter but has small buds TWOG #1 has this strange velvety look to it’s frost, something I’ve never really seen before. Although it’s a little on the leafy side. It filled out super early and is ready to harvest now. Both are fading out with black streaks on the leaves. TWOG #2 checks every box for quality so far. This might be the perfect strain and I’m sad I didn’t get a clone of it. The only thing wrong with it is the long trichome stalks and lack of resin heads. It is also an early finisher. I will probably take both TWOGs down on the 21st. Black garlic is just mouthwatering. This plant literally looks wet with resin. It was super airy at first but slowly filled out to the point it’s one of the denser plants in the tent. Cant wait to smoke this stuff. (Day 63) Well, every plant in here is looking done except the jacks and blueberry #2. Since I’m harvesting my other tent tomorrow I might as well give everything the chop before I risk bagseeds. I’m going to give a final watering right now and harvest tomorrow. I’m going to be drying in my flower tent kept between 60-65F and 60-65% RH. I will do a full plant hang to extend the dry time for as long as possible. Guess that’s a wrap then. I will give a detailed breakdown of my errors and final thoughts on the run next week after the dry is completely done. ✌️

Day late on the update, pics/vids were taken on time tho just been a crazy week of harvests and trimming and keeping up with these. I transplanted all of them into 1 gallon bags 4 days ago from today. I linked up with Rain Science Grow Bags on Instagram and got them to offer all my followers and friends a discount of 10% off entire order from their site with the code ' bangdang ' so if anyone is in the market for a pot upgrade use that code. I got them in the mail 3 days after I ordered. Reason I went with Rain Science is because they offer identical air flow for rapid growth as the radicle bags, just using a different material and a tighter knit so water doesnt flood out the sides during feeds and when you pick these up when the coco is dry, it wont fly all over the tent like with the radicles. They're the optimal bag for autoflowers especially.

Strawberry 🥧 I feel like her milky trichomes were starting to turn a little amber on some of the more mature buds so I chopped her down.Indica dominant strain so I wanted to let her go as long as possible.Smells great I’ll update a smoke report after she dries and cures.I think I’m going to use the majority of this one for some Rick Simpson oil and see how she turns out :)

~Dutch Passion Auto Melonade Runtz~ [Auto Pink Runtz x Melonade (Lemon Z x Lemon Tree)] Hello again fam! I always LOVE😍running genetics from my friends at Dutch Passion Seed Company. This is a unique autoflower version of the photoperiod Melonade Runtz and is kinda special as this strain, along with her other abundant terpenes, has a relatively unknown terpene by the name of farnesene which peaked my curiosity as a lover of terpenes... aren't we all?🤪 For a more in depth and thorough description of Auto Melonade Runtz I defer to the proverbial 'horses mouth', Dutch Passion. "Auto Melonade Runtz is a powerful Runtz autoflower crossing that is incredibly potent and pungent due to the addition of Melonade genetics. The dried buds have nice bag appeal and a commercial look. She is suitable for every type of grower (including beginners). This cannabis strain does well in soil and coco-fiber, but can also be grown hydroponically for the highest yields. She has an XL yield and has an average autoflower seed to harvest time of 11 weeks. Auto Melonade Runtz is a strong and robust hybrid autoflower plant with good branching, sturdy buds with a unique terpene profile. She usually has a fruity and creamy aroma and taste. The THC content is high and the effects are very potent. Auto Melonade Runtz is a potent autoflower with both a high THC percentage and a powerful terpene profile. In terms of aroma, she leans most towards a mix of sweet, creamy and fruity notes. The most dominant are the doughy/creamy tones of the Runtz genetics. The fruity notes vary from tropical, berry-like to slightly sour. This makes her an ideal strain for cannabis connoisseurs looking for a unique sensory experience. Some phenotypes sometimes seem to resemble Gorilla Glue in terms of smell. Others seem to be a bit more towards a fruity 'Kush'. All in all a very complex and interesting fragrance profile! In terms of taste, this Melonade Runtz autoflower version is also very pleasant. The fruity notes are at their best here, the 'inhale' can be nice and fruity with notes of berries, tropical fruit and melon. The creamy and doughy notes are a little more in the background and come more to the fore on the 'exhale'. The most common terpenes in this autoflower cross are in no particular order; limonene, linalool, myrcene, caryophyllene and humulene. And the relatively new and unknown terpene called farnesene (or 'B-farnesene' ) is also strongly present. Auto Melonade Runtz was created by crossing an Auto Pink Runtz mother and a Melonade father (made by reversing an elite mother plant). Our Melonade genetics are a cross of the legendary and cup-winning Lemon Zkittle and a clone-only Lemon Tree. The offspring was in turn crossed with a female Auto Pink Runtz through the well-known feminisation process. This new autoflower is the Gold-standard of contemporary autoflower genetics. Not too big, not too small, but just right and she doesn't mess around when it comes to yield. By combining the well-known Runtz and Melonade genetics, a beautiful new hybrid has been created that will appeal to every grower. Auto Melonade Runtz is a hybrid THC-rich cannabis strain with a strong cannabinoid profile, an average flowering time & a high yield Auto Melonade Runtz has been received with great praise within the Dutch Passion test team. The buds of this strain really have a unique terpene profile combined with a very high potency. The flowers also look super white and frosty. In addition, the dried buds are dense and compact. All in all, great bag appeal making her very suitable for real 'cannasseurs'. During the vegetative phase, every cannabis grower will note that this is an enjoyable strain to grow. She grows easily and has many side branches that gradually grow longer. Most plants exhibit the classic Dutch Passion auto structure. A beautiful thick main bloom surrounded by many well-developed side blooms. A true growth explosion takes place during weeks 4 and 5. The branches start their stretching period. This ensures that the plant will increase considerably in size during the next 3 weeks. The internodes are fairly close together and this ensures relatively well-connected buds. From week 7 onward, trichome production really starts and the buds start to look whiter. By week 9 everything is packed with crystals and you see the true nature of this beautiful autoflower strain. The buds are compact and glisten beautifully with THC-rich trichomes. In general, this strain has a seed to harvest time of around 11 weeks. In exceptional cases they bloom 1-2 weeks longer, especially when they are not grown in optimal conditions. Outdoors, the flowering time can also take a little longer and she needs an average of around 13 (to a maximum of 15) weeks to fully ripen. Her rounded and compact buds make her easy to cut and manicure. The buds are very sticky, so the use of gloves is recommended. However, while cutting you can use the sticky resin on your scissors to make delicious finger hash. Auto Melonade Runtz is an average sized plant but despite this she has a high yield. The strain grows sturdy side branches, and the buds are still relatively compact even at the bottom. The internode distance is average. This creates buds that are close together on the stem but do not completely merge. The genetics used for Auto Melonade Runtz guarantee the following properties: A fast, stable and potent THC-rich autoflower cannabis strain with a hybrid plant and bloom structure which are also easy to harvest Auto Melonade Runtz is a powerful cannabis strain with a very high THC level which can reach up to 25%, the terpene profile is also high and this makes her ideal for cannabis connoisseurs (cannasseurs) This strain is easy to grow and, due to the classic Dutch Passion auto structure, ensures high yields when grown naturally, but also in a SOG culture (packed together in small diameter containers which restrict side growth, focusing bud growth on the main bloom) Auto Melonade Runtz is best suited for indoor cultivation, but can also be grown outdoors. Her plant structure is medium to large and she produces buds with a unique cannabinoid and terpene profile. Auto Melonade Runtz has an average autoflower seed to harvest time of around 11 weeks. This is typically the time it takes to fully complete the grow indoors in a controlled environment. This autoflower is also best grown on a 20/4 schedule. This gives the plants a short rest period so that they can recover and prepare for the next day. In an unstable indoor climate it can sometimes take 1 to 2 weeks longer to fully ripen. This also applies to outdoor cultivation. Usually the greatest day/night temperature differences are outdoors and this can slightly delay the total autoflower seed to harvest time. In a temperate outdoor climate it is best to plan for 12 to a maximum of 15 weeks. In a dry and sunny (e.g. Mediterranean) climate, most plants will be ready for harvest within 11-12 weeks.This gives the very white buds an even more beautiful and unique appearance! Auto Melonade Runtz is a powerful autoflower with strong genes from several award-winning USA genetic lines. Crossing these hybrid cannabis genetics has created a stable and robust autoflower that can take a beating and still deliver. This makes her suitable for beginners and growers who are still improving their skills. She grows very easily and quickly naturally, without any grow techniques. If you like to grow in soil/coco, preferably give her a pot of at least 15-20L for a stress-free experience. If you want to use a slightly larger container, we recommend a pot of around 30-35L. This ultimately ensures that she can grow larger and has a better buffer against dehydration and possible nutritional deficiencies. The same applies to outdoor cultivation. Choose a larger pot for a better buffer zone, making it easier for her to thrive in a variety of conditions. It is best to give black pots a white cover on the outside, so that the light of the sun is reflected and the root temperature of the plants does not rise further and cause damage (black containers absorb a lot of heat in direct sunlight). She can also be grown in the open ground in more sunny and dry areas, but for the highest yield we recommend growing her in containers, preferably smart pots or root pouches for outdoors and airpots for indoor cultivation. This is the perfect autoflower strain for those who love a potent cannabis strain with strong smelling and tasty terpenes. The Dutch Passion test team was immediately sold after smoking and vaping this strain during the blind trials. The Farnesene terpene present gives the aroma profile something unique that we have not experienced before." I know that was A LOT to read, but this strain deserves it and I cannot wait to see what this lady can do...Let's Goooo!🤩💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~ This will be a 100% Organic grow ~ Initially seed was germinated in a moist paper towel, then planted directly into the medium. ~ Grown in a 15L Gronest fabric pot filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite amended with BioTabs Organic Amendments and 30% Worm Castings. ~ Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with Gaia Green slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~ Straight well water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ~ Grown under HLG 650R's with a 19/5 light cycle with supplemental UVA added during the last weeks of flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~ Supplemental co2 provided throughout vegetation and flower - monitored and controlled by an AutoPilot APC8200 co2 controller. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 8/14- Ten weeks from seed now and seven weeks of flowering have brought the Dutch Passion Auto Melonade Runtz to an epic finish! Today I'll be placing the Auto Melonade Runtz in complete darkness for 72hrs during which time I will have the temp's in the mid 60's℉ and maintain a RH of 40-45%. I also watered her today so that she wouldn't dry out during her time in 'dark jail' with straight well water that was ph'd to 6.8 @ 68℉. 8/17- After three full days in total darkness, the Dutch Passion Auto Melonade Runtz emerged today drenched in beautiful coloration and loaded with trichomes... another epic result from Dutch Passion genetics!🔥🔥🔥 Now that the first 1/3 of the process is complete, it's time to get this girl chopped and hung to begin the drying/curing process so that we can get to the Smoke Report and see if the Auto Melonade Runtz smokes as good as she looks! Stay tuned for the Harvest Report coming soon!😎 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Week 10 Veg – The Art of Clipping & Training We’ve officially hit Week 10 Veg with our White OG from Seedsman Seeds, and this week has been all about training and sculpting her into the beast she is meant to be! 💪🌿 🌱 Training & Clipping – The Path to Perfection This week, I went full hands-on with her structure, bending, clipping, and securing her branches into the exact shape I want. Each branch was carefully attached and adjusted, allowing her to spread out and open up beautifully. This method encourages even light distribution and maximizes bud sites for the upcoming flowering phase. She’s been responding amazingly to the training, showing strong recovery and explosive growth in return. It’s taking longer than usual in veg, but patience is key. I believe this will pay off in the end, rewarding us with a massive, structured mama ready to produce some stunning flowers. 📸 The Photoshoot – Showing Off Her Beauty By the end of the week, after letting her settle and stretch from all the training, I decided to do a proper photo shoot to capture all her beautiful details. There’s something about seeing her structure under the perfect lighting that makes all the work worthwhile. Feeding & Conditions Still rocking the Aptus Clean Line, keeping things simple yet powerful with: ✅ Regulator ✅ RO Water Conditioner ✅ All-in-One Liquid 💦 pH – 6.02 ⚡ EC – 1.12 Lights are still FOG LED, controlled by TrolMaster, ensuring she gets the perfect spectrum and intensity for this crucial phase. The climate remains stable, allowing her to keep thriving and adapting to the ongoing training. 🙏 Shoutouts & Gratitude Big thanks to the sponsors, the community, the platform, and everyone supporting this journey!

This was an amazing firat grow and I’m not done yet love mainlining. Depending on how these dry and the yields come out I may just do lst and get about the same amount of yield out of the grow but I still have another week or so till I chop the others
