I cut them down the night before the open houses started. The White Widow looks really good. I put them in darkness for 72 hrs, then cut and hung the whole plant, then wet trimmed hung for 18 hrs/day and put in paper bags for about 6 hrs/day for 4 days with a fan oscillating close by. Then in bags for one day, now they've been dry trimmed and put in jars. 50g for the White Widow and it looks great. I can't wait to smoke some.

Originally wanted to sog 25 strawberry banana from advanced seeds.. Those seeds been stolen🤬💢 So i threw 9 seeds that i already had 1 blueberry and 1 passion fruit didnt pop out, its 7 plants left so its not 100% germination rate.. Bought a new light 'lumatek 200w' cuz the actual 'lumatek 300w pro' is to powerful for this tent. So today is officialy DAY 1

This plant was a POWERHOUSE! It shattered my previous one plant personal best by almost double. I broke the rules and double topped her early on just because she had grown so quickly in the early weeks. Coupled with the fact that she didn't flower until week 5 made her a beast. I might have missed an update here or there but she was 101 days from germination and so worth the wait. In the end a totally perfect freak of nature that could take as much in nutrients as I threw at her and overall 100% the best auto I've grown to date. If every one grew like this I'd think I was getting pretty good at the art from we all come here to share and learn about.. These are my HQ photos and I'll upload the phone shots shortly! Thanks for looking and this had better be a diary of the month winner lol

Helloing 👋🏻friends and visitors. Clone #1 is hanging in there, it has been raining since Friday night with torrential downpours at times, when it stops raining i go shake her a bit to remove the rain drops and the wind gusts 💨 do the rest 😅 Her pistils are turning brown, which means if i take it from the mother plant she should be good in 2 weeks or less weather permits. Hope she makes it, i love her dark green tone with the purplish color on the leave edges such a beauty 😍 Alright that's all for this week. Thanks for stopping by! Likes and comments are always appreciated. Keep on growin!! Keep on tokin!! 😙💨💨💨💨

On day 1 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.4 to 6.0. The tallest cola is 5.5" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 9"-10" from the light. On day 2 the reservoirs PH is 6.1. The tallest cola is 5" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 9"-10" from the light. On day 3 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.0 to 6.3. The tallest cola is 4.5" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 8"-10" from the light. I did my last major defoliation in order to bring more light and air flow deeper into the canopy. The plants are progressing as expected. No smell yet and the pistils are showing more each day. On day 4 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.4 to 6.1. My mini dehumidifier was emptied after being 3/4 full after 5 days running. My tallest cola is 4" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 8"-10" from the light. On day 5 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.0 to 6.3. My tallest cola is 3.5" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 8"to 10" from the light. The plants buds are growing in size with more pistils showing every day :) On day 6 the PH of the reservoir is 6.2. My tallest cola is 3.5" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 7"-9" from the light. It looks like the stretch has finally stopped. I experienced a Runaway with my blumat on my right side plant. I reduced the flow of that blumat by 1 carrot and will monitor the situation going forward. After adding my carbon filter to my exhaust I realized it was drawing the heat from my box causing in proper heating. I will try to reduce the air flow of the carbon filter to make it easier to keep the heat in the grow box. On day 7 the PH of the reservoir is 6.2. My tallest cola is 3.25" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 7"-9" from the light. I did one last major defoliation on day 21 of flower to improve airflow and light penetration keeping only the top leaves of each cola.

22.09.2025 DAY 27/DAY 8VEG RH DAY 60-63% RH NIGHT 60-63% Room temperature day 26-27C Room temperature night 23-25C EC 490 pH 5.9 Water temperature 18.5-19.5 PPFD 420 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.2-1.3 I'm increasing the EC to 0.48 by the Athena feeding program. A little bit of defoliation in order for the side branches to reach better light. I usually don't go in to a heavy deforestation I just occasionally remove some of the big fan leaves in order to have better light penetration. So far the roots are going great not even a slight sign of bacteria or problems in the root zone. We have nice white roots and so far is all going great. Ill probably move them in a separate buckets in week 4. I'm not sure that I'll even have 4 weeks of vegetation becose some of them are starting to show the gender signs, so probably it will be like 3 weeks veg at maximum. DAY 28/DAY 9VEG RH DAY 60-63% RH NIGHT 60-63% Room temperature day 26-27C Room temperature night 23-25C EC 520 pH 5.8 Water temperature 18.5-19.5 PPFD 420 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.2-1.3 I sense a little bit of deficiency maybe is Mn or Fe not sure but I added a little bit of CaMg and a bit more Grow A+B in order to fight it. I have heard that Athena usually are thirsty for CaMg so basically you have to add more. Plus I lower the pH to 5.8 and now the game is ON. I'll see in a couple of days but if I'm not satisfied probably I'll raise the EC to 600 with a little bit of higher CaMg for base. DAY 29/ DAY 10VEG RH DAY 60-63% RH NIGHT 60-63% Room temperature day 26-27C Room temperature night 23-25C EC 485 pH 6.1 Water temperature 18.5-19.5 PPFD 420 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.2-1.3 I realized they this problem with the leaf burn is from the Foliar feeding. NEVER PH YPUT FOLIAR FEEDING AND NEVER LEFT THE FAN WORKING🤣🤣🤣 Anyway it's all good now besides the few burned leafs. This strain is branching a lot, so basically I don't plan to use LST. I don't even think that is possible to use LST effectively becose my plants are hard and woody and only possible way for me to deal with them is through scrogging. DAY 30/ DAY 11VEG RH DAY 60-63% RH NIGHT 60-63% Room temperature day 26-27C Room temperature night 23-25C EC 450 pH 6.1 Water temperature 18.5-19.5 PPFD 550 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.3-1.4 So far I decided to use the full spectrum. The idea of the first few weeks under cold White was to preserve them a little bit and keep them short but since today we have full spectrum plus far red. Lets see what is going to happen tomorrow. I'm a little bit afraid of the temperature swing becose this will Spike higher temperature, but whatever I'll deap with it. DAY 31/DAY 12 VEG RH DAY 60-63% RH NIGHT 60-63% Room temperature day 26-27C Room temperature night 23-25C EC 380 pH 5.8 Water temperature 18.5-19.5 PPFD 550 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.3-1.4 Brutal development only for one night. I know it's hard to be seen on a picture but on live it looks amazing. The little ladies have during pretty much 2 liters of water and so far the AC is going down straight forward so they eat a lot. I had to put a little bit more of fertilizer just to keep them well fed. The Voyager is crushing it and it's only 40% on Chanel 1 and Chanel 2. In fact im not going to experiment with cold light anymore full spectrum is the deal. So far I'm not touching the EC I'm waiting for the week to pass and to jump on even higher. DAY 32/DAY 13 VEG RH DAY 60-63% RH NIGHT 60-63% Room temperature day 24-25C Room temperature night 21-24C EC 500 pH 5.8 Water temperature 18.5-19.5 PPFD 550 Light cicle 24/0 VPD 1.0-1.2 I couldn't wait more time for the new week to come and to increase the AC. My current AC for today was 300 and I have started to see manganese deficiency so I had to add nutrients. Tomorrow is the last day of the week after that I'll rise the EC to 670. Somehow and in my opinion Athena needs a little bit more EC Dan the recommend dose in the manual. So far that's the first fertilizer I see that needs more dan the recommendation on the label 🤣🤣🤣 Interesting fact is that now I can clearly see the reproductive organs of the plant. It's female but it's still in week two VEG. I'm curious em I going to see more dan 3 weeks VEG before we go in to Flowering ☠️😜 DAY 33/DAY 14VEG RH DAY 65-67% RH NIGHT 65-67% Room temperature day 24-25C Room temperature night 21-24C EC 350 pH 6.1 Water temperature 18.5-19.5 PPFD 350 Light cicle 24/0 VPD 1.0-1.1 Finally I solve the problem with the leaves. It turned out that my clip fan was blowing the humidifier mist toward my flowers. I notisec that only two of the plants have this types of burbs and those are the once right next to the fan. I have changed the fan position and the dehumidifier positions and now I hope all will be fine. I have defoliated a little bit of big fan leaves and I hope in the end of the next week I'll have time to move the RDWC buckets becose I'm a little bit busy does days. I have lower the PPFD becose it seems that this is a bit to much for the flowers.

02 Feb 2022 Update: I noticed a strange chromatic coloring on some leaves of the "older" plants, a couple of the smaller plants have small brown spots on the leaves ... i also noticed that the grow tent is quite hot and the ground is quite dry, could be that the watering maybe is not enough, so from today i'll give a bit more water. I didn't expect that kind of temp from a led, adjusting the watering should goes better. Light regime ☀️21/3🌑 temp ☀️22/32 🌑 18.5/22 humidity 48% The lamp is till running it at 100% of his power but I just moved the lamp up to 70cm from the ground for more air flow and maybe the leds where to near the leafs, this why the chromed coloring on leafs? 03 Feb 2022 Update: Light regime ☀️21/3🌑 temp ☀️24/28 🌑 18.5/24 Plants looks already more happy now!!! soon photo/video update 04 Feb2022 Update: Little check and evrething looks great now, the new distance of the lamp did the magic , temperature is also much much better and stable, all plants look bit happyer now 😁 Light regime ☀️21/3🌑 temp ☀️22/26 🌑 20/18 humidity 51% 07 Feb 2022 Update: With a Lamp distance of 70cm at 100% is going really good, temperature is right and the earth in the pots also stays moist longer, the new leaves on all plants are doing well and the two "older" plants are doing a lot of side arms. In the last couple of days I have been noticing an increase in the speed of growth. The little BlackBerry Banana is staying small but is making new leaves that look healthier than the plant was born, I wait another week before deciding what to do but most likely I will pull her out of the tent and she will grow as an outdoor plat looking out the window 😂 Light regime ☀️21/3🌑 temp ☀️22/26.9 🌑 19.5/22 humidity 59% 08 Feb 2022 Update: After a little thinking i decided and Ijust moved the small BlackBerry Banana plant out the tent for a "Free" grow ☃️🌈🌤️ 😅😅 More air/co2 space and lamp ☀️ for the other 8 plants. Sometimes have to do wha need to be done.

DAY 53 Had to take out of the room the Amnesia XXL hermaphrodite; cant take the risk of turning the rest into males too. DAY 54 FUUUCKKK!! The wind dropped a piece of heavy wood onto the plants!!! 1 of the Moby Dick was totally broken. Some branches of the neighbour plants were affected too. So that's 2 plants lost at the moment (the hermaphrodite and the broken one). Day 56 Two days after the tragedy. Had to reorganize the room to prevent similar accidents in the future 🖤😢 Saved the most I could but definately this stressing event will influence the plant’s development. Also, considering taking out the claw leaved plant, which has signs of hermaphroditism (FML again 😫). Hope these 7 make it till the end. PS: Also, there’s 1 Moby Dick which has no signs of flowering at day 56, cant figure out what’s happening with it. I’m starting to think that it’s an Regular Feminized seed instead of an autoflowering.

Photos from day 78. I am having bad humidity issues in the tent. One of my plants started to get mold. I immediately harvested the plant as it was close to being done and I wanted to try to save the my gorilla cookies and my other top gun. Still can’t get under 60% humidity. A lot of white pistils everywhere still, probably another couple weeks if I don’t get any more mold.

Day 49 I super cropped all the plants for the first time on the first day of the week. They had all recovered by the next morning. I've been doing some hand bending down too to keep them short as possible. No wires at all. Still havnt watered since day 46. Day 51. I watered and feed this morning with the nutrients listed in the diary. They took 4 gal of water untill they had runoff. Ph was 6.1 @ 71°F. Also defoliated plants B and D a tiny bit for the first time. I came back to the tent around 4pm and noticed plant B was 22 inches from the light again. (I raise the light about every 3 days to maintain 24" above canopy) So instead of raising the light again I supercroped plant B to match the hight of the other 3 plants. Later in the evening I checked on them and plant B had bent back up towards the light, mostly even with the rest of the plants now. Day 52. Plants looks good. Plant B recovered well again from the HST but plant C (the strongest plant so far) is starting to curl up on the edges of the leaves. I'm pretty sure it's over watering. I'll keep an eye on it. Day 53 Plants look really good so I tired the light up 5 more percent to 35% still lat 24", above canopy. Tonight I put the trellis net down on them and spreaded them out more. Day 55 Plants were starting to droop so I watered Plants A and C with just water and molasses pHed to 6.0 @ 71°F, and watered Plants B and D with half strength general hydroponics (late veg). Let the runoff sit in the pans for 3 hrs or so then I vacuumed the runoff out. While I was watering I defoliated plants A and C at the base ( leaves wernt getting any light).

harvesting due to the beginning of the spring equinox in the southern hemisphere and so the days have more than 12 hours of light. The plant showed signs of revegetation in recent days, the same occurred with two other plants that will make the posts and give continuity to the revegetation diaries of the plants. Att colheita realizada devido ao ínicio do equinocio de primavera no hemisferio sul e com isso os dias tem mais de 12 horas de luz. A planta apresentava sinais de revegetação nos ultimos dias, o mesmo ocorreu com outras duas plantas que realizarei as postagens e darei continuidade aos diarios de revegetação das plantas. Att 👽 ***update on effect after two weeks of healing; ironically, even though I had harvested early due to revegetation, after 2 weeks of healing the herb shows strong citrus and herbal taste and smell. about the effects ... The wave is insane, almost completely cerebral, too strong. It was a good choice to keep it in revegetation and not pick up the other copy which I also let revegetate and make a diary. Att

Bo more growth, Buds are building nicely and some of the hairs are turning amber. I built a frame around the plants and stretched them apart to get light in. Looks a lot better and should have not crowded the plants in before. I'm sure this hurt yeild, hope it does not hurt bud size and get airy buds. With four weeks left I hope it turns out well. Buds seem to be building nicely and getting frosty. Question, what is a good extra nutrient to put on bud mass? Thanks for looking. Cheers

Such a beautiful beast! Hybrid of beauty and the beast! What you know about rolling down in the deep 👽 this girl is superb! She popped up first flowered first and is now forming fat frosty flavour filled batons. The smell is a dream, getting some tropical scents flowing off her! Opening my tent is like opening the doors to Willy wonka factory! I’ll begin to lower the humidity in the final few weeks! Loving how all my anxiety in the past had me keep it at 50% but now I see I can be comfortable with a little more as I’ve seen some people at 83% near the end but I won’t be doing that! Thanks for stopping by buds and chuds 😎🤩

week 2 Established a nice root system in this clone, all ready for transplant. Used some azos on the roots and some in soil. 7/29- Added 250ppm of epsum salt and 250 ppm of calmag to 1 gal of water. Fed maybe 2 cups to the plant.

The Olympia Auto is now in its second week of flowering, and it's producing large, beautiful pistils with a strong, heavy aroma. While I expected more vertical growth, the secondary branches are stretching nicely, and the flowers are becoming more prominent and stunning by the day. Environment: This week started with a cold snap, with temperatures dropping to a minimum of 5°C and a maximum of 15°C. A light rain has also increased the humidity. I believe this stress will enhance resin production, though it may slow the intensity of flowering, just as affected the plant during the vegetative stage. Watering: I've reduced fertilization and am watering sparsely, about once a week. Fertilization: I'll not fertilize anymore, the plant now has everything it needs in the substrate. Pest Control: The Beauveria application, previously every four days, is now down to once a week. Remarkably, I’m entirely pest-free at the moment, even the occasional intruders are gone, which is something I never thought possible, even if it’s temporary. Training: I haven't performed any training or other procedures on this plant—it's growing naturally from seed. Expecting: I'm eager to see how the buds develop and, most importantly, to experience their aroma.
