Bud sites are producing black/purple spot in leaves. Bud growth is producing as the days go by. Really excited with this being my first grow Nitrogen boost really helped with the deficiencies. Plants are starting to look really heathy... Prunes lower colas that weren't stretching past the canopy and receiving energy so more energy can be used towards the top buds

Wow! These plants have bulked up like crazy this week. The cola on #2 is about 7" tall and 3" wide at it's center mass. The smell is crazy, overpowering almost, oranges and burnt motor oil. The trichomes are mostly cloudy right now, very little clear heads. The amber is just starting to show, almost like a blush. Waiting a couple more days for some more amber then harvesting!

Progress is there. One of them is not doing so well but is starting to show a little bit of life. We’ll see where she is by the end of the week.

Really thriving to be honest, really fattening up both along stems and in bulk, really impressed with this plant had it down for the weakest at very beginning but has proved to be a really good strong plant. Really looking forward to see this go into the last few week, hopefully gets some nice colours

This smoke absolutely stunned me first this was a clone sent to me from California to Virginia in the mail in the middle of winter didn't think it was gna make it but she prevailed and turned out to be so gassy and funky with a zing and it jus lays you down but puts you in a good mood too not a groggy couch lock but a good couch lock lol tastes like candy on the exhale nugs are super dense and the cure and dry came out perfect she was definitely a box

First week is over. Overall it going well. 4 of the 6 plants are excelling; super boof auto and gorilla z auto). The 2 strawberry gorilla autos are not doing very well. Right now for strawberry gorilla, I believe some of my issues may be genetics specific. Both plants exhibit same issues. Each one is in a different medium. The only constant is strawberry gorilla auto genetics. I am going to continue growing them for another week to evaluate options. One I am fairly sure is going to die. The other, while overall looking terrible, has some new growth starting that is a better healthier green. Hopefully it is just a rough first week. But these are autos. A rough start usually means a rough entire grow. Not necessarily that they will keep having issues, but due to short fixed veg time frame, these 2 have significantly lost growth time. The DIY IoT automation side of this grow/project is progressing nicely. I worked on the PAR sensor and have no deployed it for its first 24 hour “soak test” to ensure optimal operation for 24+ hours. If the soak test last, it means it’s pretty much ready to be deployed. The PAR sensor is quite good if I am being honest. I was able to verify my ss550 LED at ~1000 umol/s it is rated for at a specified height. Now is when these sensors start providing real value. First week of growth always requires low light levels/high light height to accomplish providing somewhere around 150-250umol for seedlings. Without the PAR sensor to use at the beginning, I do what I always do and adjust height and light levels. Unscientific, but it’s how most growers are doing it due to PAR sensors like apogee for the dli500/600 PAR sensor starting at 5+ and anything below this range usually is not a true PAR sensor and no longer of value outside of “consistency” checks. They are lab grade, they are meant to be, this explains their price. Apogee and other comparable sensors are also spot checkers. They are used to check, validate and log, but they are not meant to do it fast or at a rate that is useful beyond average DLI. They can’t be integrated into automation systems. They largely are siloed devices that work alone and must manually transfer logs for analysis. The Dfrobot PAR sensor is a real time, continuously polling, connected, that can be interacted with in real time and used to control automation. It is also industrial grade with ip67 rating compared to apogees ip65 (it’s a spot check probed not meant for automation integration). Basically, apogee are amazing sensors, but they fundamentally are unable to do what I want. This Dfrobot par sensor, while not lab grade, is nearly lab grade, which in turns bring the sensor significantly down in price compared to a “lab grade” sensor that cost 4x. I am not a researcher or a scientist. Lab grade is amazing, but I literally cannot abstract additional value for the statistically significant accuracy difference (remember statistics and our p value, statistically significant is often a very small number , but in the real world, it does not matter since I am not doing actual research nor needing perfect controls with only a single variable change. I am only one person. ;) Uhh… I think I got lost on a tangent, ultimately PAR sensor confirmed 251 umol/s, which is the maximum these should be getting. But 4 are thriving, 2 are not. I’m not adjusting the lights for the 2 struggling to the detriment of the others Now that the PAR sensor is running 24 hour soak test and about to be deployed full time, I’ll be focusing on the other two sensors; the 4 in 1 soil (ec, ph, soil temp, soil moisture) sensor and NPK sensor. All three of the sensors mentioned are connected by a single Ethernet wire for communication and power to simplify deployment. The 3 sensors will ultimately plug into a shared hub that allows for easy plug n play for these sensors and future ones. Hopefully by next weeks post I’ll have full logging of all sensor data to my timescale database which will store all sensors logged data for future analysis.

End of Week 15 (8th week of flower) Still cruising, everything has been running very smoothly and the smell is just undoubtedly off the charts. The ladies are showing off some colour and are fading naturally bringing out hues of orange and purple. I also noticed that the leaves and buds closest to the lights are showing significantly more colour that the ones that are further away. The colas are also getting heavy and there are some side colas that are hanging and needed to be reinforced to keep them upright. (This is a good thing obviously) I know I said I would start the flush (not giving any more nutrients/top-ups) but I decided to give them a small dose of Boom Bloom just to give the ladies that final boost. I boosted them in the middle of the week and the flush has begun after that. Only water from now until harvest. Pest Report: None Smell Report: HEAVEN

Hello hello! Welcome back everyone! It is about the last week for the strawberry. I will be checking and posting her trichomes soon. She is starting to look ready, but some of the lower buds still have white hairs and a little ripening to do. Watered today with FP for the last time, and next watering will be with flashclean and then flushing until she is just perfect. The smell coming of her is out of this world. Its ripe strawberries with a pungent, like a sweet fruit liquor hint. Just absolutely fills your head. Really looking forward to trying her out, she hands down has the STRONGEST and SWEETEST terps I have ever gotten from an autoflower. Maybe the flush will bring out the pink. Yes 😎

here already a little more grown and applying the techniques lst apical pizzicato experimenting, Seeing how the techniques are manifested, some were done poorly, so their results were somewhat strange or curious, if they did, you judge, errors such as not cutting the apical trying to do the pruning, poe error from fmi and only cut the tiny growing leaves that's why you will see those rare leaves

Hallo to You all my familly and usual visitors. Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....You rule! That's it the Amnesia CBD is down, came down on 21 december and during the Christmas and New Year celebrations was drying up as for now she is for over a week curing in jars. The smell is not very remarkable i get some notes of pine and herbs. But apart from smell she's crashing it :) She grew like a monster under the Mars Hydro TS 1000 150 Watt lamp, I Am really pleased, especially considering how little maintenance i performed on this girl. Dinafem did create a real tough plant. A big thanks to Mars Hydro for supplying the necessary equipment for this grow. That's it for this week folks, have a wonderful week and please come beck visit in about a week for the smoke review and final dry weight results update to this diary ;)

Really flowering now. And they took a big stretch the last seven days or so. Tents full, I took the net out a bit ago just to shuffle the plants around in the tent. Still feeding and loving the em harvest. I’ll update again soon as always 🍻

Another successful harvest. This time it was my perfect girl, a very good strain, easy to grow, fast, and without many demands. Besides the controlled environment, it has a wonderful smell. The buds were very dense and sticky. Every time I touched the scissors, a strong smell emitted that filled my room. I really liked the result, and this will definitely be the first of many. My favorite so far! ✌️💪🌿🍁

Hola , luego de estar 8 días en macetas de 7 litros las pasamos a floración este cultivo de clones y semillas ,agregamos el otro panel que teníamos apagado para abarcar bien todo el espacio de cultivo con el espectro de luz . realizamos una poda de bajos para potenciar las flores más altas . Se realizo foliar preventivo de tierra de diatomeas. Hello, after being 8 days in 7-liter pots, we passed this clone and seed crop to flowering, we added the other panel that we had off to cover all the cultivation space with the light spectrum. We perform a low pruning to enhance the highest flowers. It was made preventive foliar of diatomaceous earth.

- introduced 7W far red light bulb to boost stretching (girls are VERY bushy) - slowly drying soil (so I drilled more holes on side of the pot like a cheap dyi airpot) - preflower Keyra (the bigger one) is what I would say a stretching phase and Margot (smaller) evidently falls behind but not stretching yet, I hope she catches her atleast little bit..
