D78. The second LED strip light arrived today, and I installed it to cover the right side of the tent. No clue if these sidelights will contribute much, but it's at least noticeably brighter in the lower canopy now. ------------------------------ D80. It looks like my campaign against the pesky thrips is successful. A few days ago, I could find both adults and larvae within seconds when scouting, but today it took me over five mins to find one single larva. Good riddance! ------------------------------ D83. Almost at the end of week six of flower, the girls are rocking it in the tent, getting fatter and smellier daily. I still haven't been able to find any thrips, so it looks like the lacewings were effective. The predatory mites that I also added are probably not necessary, but I wanna be sure all those pesky thrips are dead. There isn't anything to do in the tent now, and everything is running on autopilot, which is excellent as I'm going out of town tomorrow. I gave each girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.3, with humic acid and FFJ. That'll hold them over until I'm home again in a couple of days. ------------------------------

Day 91 - Started week 14 off with 2 gallons of plain pH’d water. It’s looking like this will probably be her final week and she’ll get the chop this coming weekend. I’m still thinking I’m not going to do a full harvest, I’ll chop the main buds and such and see if I can get the lower popcorn shit to fatten up. This is one of the best plants I’ve grown to date and want to maximize as much of her as I can. Day 92 - She’s getting really close now, I can almost taste her. Thinking about chopping most of here either Friday or Saturday. Buds are nice and dense and wanna get the lower popcorn to fill in after chopping the main colas. Not seeing much for amber trichs but there’s a few in there and she’s all cloudy other than that. Day 93 - Gave her 2 more gallons of plain water today and that will probably be it. She will be getting chopped this weekend and gonna let her dry completely up before cutting. Starting to show quite a bit of amber trichs so she’s ready, just holding out till Friday.

Compared to her sister, this Pineapple Express auto flowered very early! I LST'd her while I could, and defoliated what was necessary. She turned out great! Although the yield for this phenotype is at my lower limit for acceptable. I'm happy that I'm growing a second one, that vegged out longer, making for a much larger Pineapple Express!

Same as week 15, missing a lot of pictures in the timelapse. The storm caused part of the seal to be broken, and the person taking care of it this week was unable to fix it properly. I only got to fix it about two days after, so there has been some light pollution :(.

9/6 Didn't do a video this morning. Went over again around noon and defoliated what needed it. I noticed what looked like stem mold on the special kush that those locusts have STRIPPED and saw what looked like mold but I left it and assumed it was just a bite out because it wad right at a node. I removed a major branch the other day. When I got back around noon the spot had tripled in size and was 100% mold. I cut that branch off too. It was a large main limb. The plant IS frosty but it's not ready. You cant see it but the calyx is pink. There are some branches that are completely stripped. They like the special kush for some reason and seem to target that. I should go over at night and see what I can see. Pink kush is flowering fairly aggressive. Not as much as the natural mk ultra though. I cant believe how fast those are exploding. As long as weather permits the pink kush will finish. I tried the special kush #1 which I'm almost done trimming and it wad amazing. Really eases anxiety and hits me square in the eyes. Very sedative happy strain. Tastes like pine, skunk and something I can't quite identify. Maybe the forest? I'm incredibly happy with the outcome. 9/7 Holy shit. It's STILL raining. Just for the ones that didn't hear it in the back, 'I' am so glad I harvested that plant when I did!" I got super lucky. I hate having to cut off limbs or come in the morning to find a branch eaten. Next year I'm 100% getting floating row covers. That will fix most problems. Buds are exploding in size. On everything. We've had some pretty high winds as well. The natural mk ultra continues to surprise me. It seems like the flowers get noticeable bigger day to day. Finally the pink kush has some small buds. This is an October strain though. I had already popped them or I would've been running more 10th planet or mk ultra. Hey maybe this strain will make it through the fall and give me some crazy quality nugs. It's an exciting time to be a cannabis grower. I processed and jarred that Special Kush #1. I trimmed almost everything. I have a jar of "smalls" buds that didn't come off a cola and another jar that is "trimmed" but needs to be "manicured" like the rest. I'll finish today and continue the curing process. It's always great to get an early phenome. Especially when it does what you want. Oh, I noticed a couple spots on leaves that COULD be septoria showing again. With all the rain I'm really not worried. I haven't been giving the preventative dose of Plant Doctor but I might do so when I need to water next. If I have a little while before harvest. That would help with budrot or any kind of fungal issue. I don't want to water when it's saturated. I'll wait until next water and even then I may not apply it. We shall see. EDIT: Stopped raining around 1 but it's been off and on. I shook everything off and found a pillar in one of the special kush plants. The one I had to cut to major limbs off. I got the moth larvae and removed all the debris inside. Did that with the other special kush and it was fine. I'm going over after dark to see what is munching on plants so fast. While I was removing the pillar a bird flew behind my head and grabbed something on the plant behind me. This morning a little feather was resting on a leaf. After the dive bomb I turned and found another. I can't help but smile. Nature can take her claim. It usually isn't much and I'm fine with that. The birds however are on my side. We've got a synergistic relationship. 9/8 Finally the rain ended. Didn't have time to take a video and everything was soaking wet. I'm noticing that things are getting a lot more frosty. I found my loupe so it will be easier to look at the trichs. The special kush that ive had to take two main limbs off (because they were totally stripped) is losing more. Long stalks with all the nodes eaten off with just the cola at the top. I'm not going to get much off this plant but I don't want to lose everything. The calyxes are pink and starting to retract. I'll take a look at it with my loupe when I get home. We are supposed to have a pretty good week. The natural mk ultra's buds are exploding in size! For the most part EVERYTHING is. It's going to be a good year.

Hello friends! 🌱 Day 23 — we continued training and tied down our beauty. She is now in a 5L pot and feeling great 👍 Over the past few days, our beauty Auto Kabul #1 has gained a lot of mass. We stretched her out again and gently bent the top to keep an even canopy and improve light distribution. Temperature — Day: 24–28°C | Night: 20–23°C Humidity — Day: 65–75% | Night: 65–90% So far everything looks good — we continue to monitor her progress. More updates coming soon!

A great pleasure to grow this strain and the automatic version is a really good surprise. I will surely growing it again.

Topped last week ..this week I cleaned up some the leafs under where I topped... probably top again next week... I add frozen water bottles to res daily to keep water temps down..was gonna try for 8 tops but not sure whats gonna happen want to flip flower mid October

Diese Woche hat sie einen richtigen Schub gehabt. Weiterhin Greenhouse BioGrow 1g über die erde und 1ml flüssig Wurzel/Pflanzen Booster

DB#2 #CannapediaGrowersCup4th супер кустистое растение, расползается во все стороны как плющ, ответвления превышают длину ствола в 1.5-2 раза. Ради интереса топнул (на фото и видео растение до обезглавливания). Не занимался растениями из-за "перезагрузки" своей оранжереи. Тестирую видео-формат, пока первая "сырая" наработка. Снизил концентрации питания и в течение недели получали раствор из G.H.Feeding Grow + pH Down, с показателями 5.8-6.2pH и 650ppm, раз в 2-3 дня.

Week 6 has brought about the slowing of vertical growth and the flowers starting to put on some bulk. Each time I have run this cut the top leaves will start to come in lighter than the fan leaves below. At week 6, so far they are maintaining a lime green color with some discoloration. This is not a cause for concern. Flower formation is on track and everything else looks healthy. I basically have to ride with whatever happens because I use the BeanStalk line of products for fertilization. They are a single application, controlled release formula that feed the plant over the course of approximately 90 days. This means that I never have to mix nutes. Water only and I set it and forget it. I mix in a known quantity of the product at transplant and that’s it. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is interested in simplifying their grow. The upfront cost is a little steep, but I purchased 3 pound bags of all 4 products in February 2021 and still have a ton of it left. Last time I grew this cut, I observed many of the ‘sugar leaves’ turning yellow and dying prior to harvest. That plant was grown in a 5 gallon pot, with a much longer veg time, much more vegetative mass, and was much closer to my lights. I am hoping to get different results in a smaller pot with shorter veg time and less leaf growth. When I harvested that plant, I noticed that on most flowers this was not a big issue, but over time I have found that when sugar leaves die on the plant, this is the most likely avenue for mold to develop in my room.

Week twenty-two is officially done on the Pineapple Upside Down Cake. This week is a turning point, marking the end of vegetative growth and the start of the flowering transition. I decided to switch the light cycle to twelve-twelve. Initially, the plan was to wait for a stronger recovery, but the reality is simple: it wasn’t happening. The plant was given roughly three full weeks to acclimate after stress, and the response stayed limited. Rather than staying stuck in an endless waiting phase, I chose to move forward. This means accepting that flowering may not be extremely vigorous or high-energy. That’s fine. This run is also about observation, learning, and adapting. Flowering was initiated gently, at around three hundred PPFD, to avoid adding more stress. At the same time, I switched the nutrient program to Athena bloom and adjusted the recipe accordingly. The plant has now been under flowering conditions for about twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Over the coming week, I expect to see the first signs of stretch. It’s a bit frustrating, because structurally the plant was doing really well. The LST work created a clean, balanced canopy, and the potential was clearly there. Now the focus is simple. No rushing. No over-correction. Just letting the plant transition naturally into flower and observing how she reacts. Next week will officially mark the first true week of flowering. From there, we’ll reassess posture, stretch, and overall vitality. For now, the plant is left alone to settle into its new rhythm. That’s it for week twenty-two. See you next week.

So langsam geht es in die Endrunde. Das Zelt duftet herrlich, und die Pflanzen sind ein Traum. Die kleine hat 52 cm die große Dame hat 105 cm . Mein Meterstab war gebrochen und ich habe das viel zu spät bemerkt. Die Pflanzen nehmen die Nährstoffe nach wie vor auf, und Verhalten sich ruhig. Die Durban Poison wird am Ende mehrere kleine Buds liefern. Die Pflanzen hat insgesamt auch mehr Blattwuchs, und treibt auf die Seite. Die Mango Cream x Cinderella wächst hingegen Strukturiert mit wenigen Blättern nach oben. Ein Traum für das Trimmen der Pflanze..

Hallo und herzlich willkommen zu meinem neuen Grow mit der Auto Jack, Jacky White 6th Gen. von Paradise Seeds. Die "Eltern" sind Jacky White x Ruderalis, die "Großeltern" sind Jack Herer und White Widow. Sie ist dadurch eine 75% Sativa mit zitronig-fruchtigen Aromen, genau mein Ding. Es freut mich sehr, das mir die Samen in einer sehr schönen Verpackung freundlicherweise von Paradise Seeds zur Verfügung gestellt wurden. Das ist für mich der Ansporn, eine möglichst genaue Beschreibung des Growverlaufs aufzuzeichnen. Die URL des Strains findet ihr hier: https://www.paradise-seeds.com/de/product/auto-jack/ Für diesen Grow verwende ich den 15Liter WideVersion Stofftopf von ROOTiES, die Sonnenerde Bio Hanferde, den BioBizz Wurmhumus, Sonnenerdes Bio Faser, BIONOVA + zamnesias MonsterBud Mix Living Soil, zamnesias Smast Start und Plagrons Seedbooster Plus. Hat sich alles prima bewähert. Tag 71: 1,0 Liter Wasser. Die Auto Jack von Paradise Seeds ist bestens versorgt, auch wenn der Bericht wegen der Vorbereitungen des diesjährigen Outdoorgrows etwas mager ist. Dafür kann Sie nächste Woche umziehen. Tag 73: 1,5 Liter Wasser. Tag 76: 1,5 Liter Wasser. Schön, dass du reingeschaut hast. Nächste Woche gehts weiter und ich freue mich, wenn du dabei bist 👋😎

Captain’s Log (I know that’s a different show) Today was my first day on earth and Willie got me straight to work mixing and digging preparing the soil. I would add 2ltrs of Plagron lightmix, 0.5ltrs of perlite, then 6grms of RQS Easy Boost, 1grm of Mycorrhiza mix, 0.5grms of Rhizobacter, mix it up and then keep repeating these steps until the pot was full. I feel like I could sleep for a whole light year. Seed was soaked in ph’d water for 24hrs before planting. I’ve got a lot of thinking and soul searching to do before I can decide how much Lightside and Darkside I want in my strain, or Sativa and Indica as they call it here on earth. I think I may need to try contact the ghost of Obi Wan for some advice on this one.

Will check on the dry wight and update

Very easy. Growing in bio bizz all mix which provides everything you need really for 3 to 4 weeks. Week 4 or 5 I'll begin some nutrients. Continuing to grow beautifully.

05/17 - Both are vegging accordingly - applied a hard LST to even out the canopy and distribute light coverage around the plants - Both are currently in 1 gallon pots - Both will be transplanted into 5 gallon pots by the end of the week - I will begin micro-dosing their nute feeds to negate transplant shock.
