Day28: sign of flowering, BB3 still small but growing. Slowly increasing water and fertilizers. This week it’s time for some early flower defoliation/lollipopping. Day30: bouncing back from defoliation.

Have got the pH cycling between 5.8 to 6.8 every 3 to 4 days. Started lowering the nutrients in preparation for harvesting in @ two weeks. Getting excited to get to the finish line. I smelled her today for the first time when I walked into the Batcave but the Grow Chamber is doing very good at controlling any huge odor. The humidity is stable in the low 40's as is the air temp which stays between 70-75 degrees. Added some Fugazi to Daphne's playlist. - recently i have seen articles about keeping pH constant. I will try this on my next grow.

All apple og’s are ready to smoke. My favorite was indica, couple hits from the bong and it will put you sleep. Strong strain and good genetics from pure instinto

1 more week to harvest, slowly decreased ppms and added Epsom salts and terpinator, also decreased humidity to 40% and water temp to 64 degrees.

Day 85. Just before lights photo's for better true colour understanding, Bio Grow and AlgaMic is out, after finishing this cycle CalMag and Silica out too. Hope its not too early, but girls are really healthy, time to pump up the flowers not leaves :) Day 86. Girls just flying, very happy with Gorillas and Control Garden looks really funky, they stand under no direct light on them... and still flowers looks amazing. Got my new mobile, had to try out :) Next week very busy at work, no updates I think. Day 89. So again i made mistake, while watering them last time accidently left heater on, they overdried , plus temps where at +33c ... Bunny Gorilla looks bad, Gorilla Max got biggest pistil damage, half went brown. Thinking i took nitrogen too early out, but we shall see. On other hand all Control Garden took it well even Cookies with theirs waxy leaves stood thurst nice as such stress can be ... Planing to do defoliation next week, but if Gorillas started to eat themselves already will leave them as it is. Future will show .. Happy Growing !!!

Week 6 of flower 9/13/24 Changed the nutrients to fit week 6 of flower. Runoff PH and EC daily (EC 1.3, PH 5.1). using H2O2 with every watering (to help the PH stabilize at 5.5-6.5 range if there is a root problem). plant seems happy and not showing necrosis/ nutrient burn problems. Hand watering ones a day at the beginning of the light schedule.

----- WEEK 4 ----- ----- Day 22 ----- Looking great today. Bud sites are REALLY developing fast, no burned ends at tips of new leaf foliage even at 1500ppm feeding 20 liters yesterday. Residual humidity is finally under 50%. Dehumidifier took out 5 gallons of water over last 24 hours bringing basement from 50-52% (had 4 humidifier gauges all reading 50/51/52/52%) down to 47%. At this rate 3~ days basement is at 35% and tent is good at 40%~ residual humidity. Not a lot of smell yet, but I smoke all the time so my ability to smell pot is kind of hindered by the fact I waft the smell everywhere I go. Fertilizer regiment is the exact same this week. 1500ppm 18-20Liters depending on how long last feeding takes to dry. Still wet today, but these ladies drink it up during the day at an astronomical level compared to my last grows. Probably will put 1-2 more photos at end of light cycle tonight, maybe gets some shots at lights off to get true color for the diary. Humidity is pissing me off. Have 2 dehumidifiers going right now. Humidity is just ramping up and down all day. Turned 2nd one on about an hour ago. 4 hours from now i'll check the basement humidity and as well plants for some shots before lights off to wrap up today. Feeding tomorrow, wet dirt is almost unseen, can feel some residual moisture below a knuckle of soil depth. *EDIT* even 2 dehumidifiers aren't working as quick as I want. So i'm going all out.... 8lbs BULK silica gel (Biodegradable non-toxic food grade safe) orange colour that doesn't contain the toxic substance (BLUE COLOR) that turns green at 50-60% full capacity. Can be dried in oven at 0-2hrs at 250 Fahrenheit by watching color go back to orange. (use parchment paper!) 4lbs will go in bottom of tent in pillow case, i'll flip it over 2-3 times a day to allow exterior silica gel balls (4mm size) on floor be able to switch spots for maximum effect. Based on how fast it completely hits green, i'll then do this: 4lbs in tent goes into oven during A.M when i wake up lights on to dry, dry 4lbs goes into tent until next morning, newly dried 4lbs of silica gel bulk put into container just large enough to hold the amount and not add water... rinse repeat.. Time to % fully wet is what will change how often this happens. Will spread out the pillow case as thin and long as possible to try and have no "hidden" beads in the pillow case from humidity/moisture capture. I'll continue to discuss this strategy, it'll be delivered supposedly tomorrow. Humidity is the most dangerous portion remaining of my grow. Now that pruning was 100% successful and feeding/watering is something i can do in my sleep, the last remaining problem is humidity (mold, botrytis). I plan to use this diary to make a single diary for each strain, for august and september newbie/grower of the month contest entry. I will pull no punches making sure this grow goes off perfectly with high times award winning buds. I've done it before and I can do it again in bulk at 5x5 25sq foot tent size at 1000watts instead of 4x4 600w. No new pics for ... 3 1/4 hours before lights off. ** FINAL DAY 22 UPDATE ** Lights off time. here's some shots of a bud sites (used LED Flashlight for true white color under HID) I might have by accident switch labels on these plants (rofl) when I transplanted.. thought I caught the error.. but the Tropicanna Glookies is showing pink pistils which is Wedding Cake trait, and the Tropicanna Glookies will turn purple as bud coloration at end of grow.. so time will tell... Doesn't mean anything as both are fed and watered and pruned all same time same amounts. Sugar leaves are clawing showing potentially too much Nitrogen. Tomorrow's feeding I'll increase the Liquid Koolbloom and lower the FloraNova Bloom to let plant soak up some nitrogen... but this could be just due to other small factors. I'm not too worried there's no real signs of nute burn in the tiniest of new leaves. I'll find out how the lower FloraNova Bloom reacts to the clawed sugar leaves, and to the currently properly green fan leaves/new leaf structure on bud in a couple days from tomorrow's feeding. Will watch for magnesium/zing issues like last time although due to changes in nutrient requirements for growth factors (bud instead of leaves), zinc might not be as needed this feed and will not show deficiencies hopefully. Speaking of last feeding. The girls are done with the 20 Liters of water from yesterday morning. 36 hours right after they're dry. Tomorrow i'll be doing 24 Liters total watering. Tonight I fed each 500mL of tap water (10ppm 6.3-6.4ph) to prevent turgor pressure loss overnight. They're getting THIRSTY!!!! Till tomorrow! ----- Day 23 ----- Humidity still a pain in my ass can't wait for the silica gel. 24 Liters @1400ppm 6.4ph feeding Smell has increased to a very candy sweet smell. Its delicious. ***UPDATE*** Great pics from this evening. Sugar leaf clawing still happening but only in the shade. I'm not concerned I used 4mL total of FloraNova Bloom (4-7-8) so I HIGHLY doubt its nitrogen excess. (*EDIT*) I forgot I had fed a full dose of FloraNova Bloom to stop zinc deficiency symptoms so it's probably over nitrogen from the zinc feeding. The plants are huge luckily and today's 24L of watering had nearly zero nitrogen and would have flushed out any remaining, I will watch those leaves closely, luckily there are a lot of sights for photosynthesis even if the clawed leaves yellow or die off as they're in the shade and barely get any light as it is... Time will tell. Total amount of leaves effected would be under 10% easily so I am pretty confident things are moving forward as normal for the plants. Only Wedding cake effected too. Randomly pick off fan leaves that hide other bud sites. Wedding Cake has pink pistils in the LED light faintly, don't think I miss labeled them anymore. Not much to say today, just a slow battle with the Humidity and a beautiful time to watch the "grass" grow over the 12 hours of lights on. Bud sites are already connecting on larger stems, and are thickening much faster than I expected... she's in full blown bloom now look out !!! ----- DAY 24 ----- Humidity is finally dropping. Down 7% from normal tent wake up humidity. Gotta get down another 7%. No pics yet. Gonna let em grow a bit today. I am not too worried about the nitrogen issue, might get a tiny bit of die off but I went into the canopy underneath the trellis and the plants are great and looking healthy. I'd say under 1% of leaves showing any form of yellowing, didn't see any browning. The smell is RIDICULOUSLY sugary. My God it's like breathing in pure candy. Hopefully within a week or two the smell will develop just enough to be able to separate them from each other to figure out what each plant individually smells like. **UPDATE** Humidity goes up and down 5-7% throughout the day. Silica Gel is now in tent, will see how that does overnight. Plants doing well, I remove any fan leaves in the way of buds but try and not remove more that 7-10 a day to not induce stress. No worsening of Nitrogen excess, Yesterday's big feeding with barely any nitrogen looks to have helped. Buds are fattening nicely. Will be looking next grow to switch out floraNova Bloom for a less nitrogen filled micro feeder as i have liquid koolbloom and powder for the flower macro nutrients. Way too many nitrogen issues with this flower feeding. Tomorrow should be feeding. Soil currently moist, but within 3~hrs of lights on tomorrow I expect the ladies to need another 24 Liters. I'm going to do some research on specifically what micro nutrients i'd be missing with no FloraNova Bloom but utilizing everything else I normally use and maybe not use it at all for the next couple feedings and just increase the KoolBloom liquid and maybe throw in some Triple phase black strap molasses. *EDIT* Looking at the micro nutrient content of Blackstrap Molasses I will be using it instead of FloraNova Bloom from here on out, and only use Bloom once every 3 feedings to give just enough nitrogen for bud development. ----- Day 25 ----- Humidity is okayish. I'll be able to probably get away with it at this level if I clean up some fan leaves as buds thicken. Time will tell I've got about 14 days more before it becomes an issue. Plants look great. Watering intake has changed, but I don't know if it's the different irrigation feeding heads so I will be replacing all of them with 1 standard type (8 spitter black) or if the plants themselves having different intake requirements now. Order of Driest to most wet: Front Right - Tropicanna (1 old broadcast 1 old spitter) Back Right - Tropicanna (2 old broadcast) Back Left - Wedding (1 new spitter 1 old spitter) Front Left - Wedding (2 new spitters) Front left is the biggest one by hardwood girth (stem thickness) but the Tropicanna's have a ton more side branching and is more advanced in the budding size, so I feel if it's not an internal issue about to manifest and get worse, that it's about the amount of stomata each plant has, and the Tropicanna would probably have more. I have not backed this part up i'm about to say so take it with a grain of salt. I believe in plant botany, a large leaf or small leaf from the same plant will have the same amount of stomata but the larger leaf will be able to release more as the stomata hole is larger. So then it becomes a quantity vs quality. Wedding Cake can pump out water more per stomata, but Tropicanna has exponentially more stomata to release water at smaller amounts. Again don't quote me on this If I get bored I'll check it out in my Plant Botany books. Okay so I just checked an online scientific (frontier plant science) article titled "The Smaller the Leaf Is, the Faster the Leaf Water Loses in a Temperate Forest" and it doesn't prove my theory but states that due to border thickness and other reasons smaller leaves will lose water faster. So most likely, this isn't an irrigation issue, or a deficiency issue, but rather a simple botanical truth that my Tropicanna has much smaller leaves and a hell of a lot more of them then the Wedding Cake, so they will dry out faster, especially in a full sunlight environment. With this new knowledge, I will be feeding all plants as of normal, but keeping 2~ Liters at the bottom of the bucket and giving Tropicanna each 1L after auto irrigation for the additional water loss from smaller leaves. I mostly theorize and hypothesis out loud during my grows if you haven't noticed yet. It allows me to work out problems and see patterns that end up manifesting themselves in the future. The more I understand the beginning and subtle stages of an issue, the faster I can fix it or prevent further damage. I'm sometimes wrong, I'm sometimes right, but I always learn in the end and every one of my grows has been an exponential improvement on past mistakes. It's also why you'll never see me edit out where I'm wrong. That's just stopping me from learning, if a year down the road I come back and read this I won't remember that I withheld info and the exact details, hurting me and potentially making me re-do my error. Anyways... I fed about 200ml to Front right, 150 to back right and 100 to back left of tap water (10ppm 6.3ph) to even out the time between feeding being needed and turgor pressure loss. Going to tone back the feeding today, no FloraNova Bloom, going to aim for 1100ppm before ph adjustment. Went overboard on the nitrogen by accident when I saw the zinc deficiency and full fed FloraNova Bloom (starting to hate this fertilizer), and less than 5% of the back right plant have yellow tips on mature fan leaves but not new growth and the clawing hasn't worsened but remains the same. Third grow in a row FloraNova bloom has been a massive pain. At end of this grow I will be doing the nutrient math to find out what's missing micro nutrient wise in deficiency #'s present when removing FloraNova Bloom and choosing something else like the Molasses that has a hell of a lot less nitrogen and spot feeding with a Advanced Nutrients Micro (4-0-0) when nitrogen deficiencies could present themselves. Will still do 24Liters, but switch Bloom for Molasses. I've had molasses steeping at 1150ppm in 1L to give roughly 55ppm in 20 Liters overnight. I expect it to add 40ppm total to the 24L but I didn't do the math on a calculator just half assed it in my mind right now. Will update as need be today. **UPDATE** Fed 23L 6.3ph 1100ppm. No reason for 6.3 over 6.4 will go back to 6.4 next feeding was just lazy. Did a bit of fan leaf snippage. Took down some stems from bottom of bud stems on Wedding Cake that have shot up with long internodes. Cut off the from the first internode so the plant concentrates on the main stem for bud development and not lower side shoots wasting nutrients and time. Will do small defoliating here and there, not enough to make a difference, just any that could trap water and therefore botrytis/mold. I also shake all the plants multiple times a day (The stems are AMAZINGLY strong on Wedding Cake) to remove any moisture caught between leaves. Curling leaves are slowly lessening, seems like there were fewer when I went down to feed. Could be just my eyes but I feel like the plants back at 100%. Couple photos at lights off in 6~ish hours will be updated. Maybe able to see the difference in curling leaves. I'll make comparison shots from previous photos and if it's noticeable i'll post them here. *EVENING UPDATE* Pics popped up. Check out the cardboard pick and the single stem pick from Wedding Cake. Claw still there but the Buds are filling in SO FAST it almost looks normal lol. Tropicanna glookies is doing a popcorn nug style grow. Wedding Cake is just wild.. feels like easily 7-10 days ahead of some of my other grows on bud connection + thickness. Smells great, super sugary. I'm trying to figure out if it's cherry or strawberry notes. I can smell something fruity/citrus like but can't put my memory to the smell yet. Gotta let it get thicker dank first. This might be a redonkulous yield but I'm knocking on wood and not counting the chickens before they hatch yadda yadda. Till tomorrow. *last edit* Forgot that I put in Diamond Nectar for the molasses. 15ml total in 23L today. Used to assist in the chelation of the molasses and other nutrients. Will feed Diamond Nectar during Molasses feedings only and not during FloraNova Bloom iiiiiiiif it's needed to top up some nitrogen during bud expansion photosynthesis... there is thousands of leaves probably so it might need it. Time will tell. Cheers *Edit* ** YO I SEE MY ERROR, ALWAYS RE-READ YO SHIT lol** ((DOUBLE BRACKETS IS CORRECT MATH)) Been mulling around with numbers in my head. I wanted to do some math around the clawing of nitrogen and what it took per plant and eventually work out the ppm requirement to prevent clawing in these genetics further down the road for reveg. This may change somehow in the future: Day 15 - 1450ppm in 8 Liters of Full Flora Nova Bloom (extra feeding to prevent zinc deficiency... Usually only 100ppm in 12 liters was used) ERROR HERE -----> 1450/8 = 181.25 ppm per Liter of FL bloom <-- ERROR HERE Removing water won't change PPM!!!!! 8 Liters fed to 4 plants 181.25ppm / 4 plants = 45.3125 ppm of FL Bloom fed to each plant on Day 15 (( 1450ppm /4 = 362.5ppm)) That number x 4% (4-7-8 [n-p-k ratio of fertilizer]) = 1.8125 ppm of pure nitrogen per plant on day 15 feeding. (( 362.5ppm x 4% = 14.5ppm)) Anyone see any error in that math? (Also whats up with 181.25ppm /4 x 4% equaling 1/100th of itself in the end... too high to understand that connection) I'm going to go measure some stems tomorrow, but looking at Day 15 to day 25, 10 days (today) the fan leaf and sugar leaf has increased 40-60% on the Wedding Cake, and multiple main stems have increased up to 2-4 inches, while low side branches have sprung up to 10-12 inches in length before I cut them down today while also showing excess Nitrogen in sugar leaf clawing. This means that 1.8125 ppm of pure nitrogen in feeding Wedding Cake can produce massive vegetative properties during flower if applied at end of stretch transition phase of flower. ((14.5ppm!!!!!!!!) Especially since the canopy of each of the Wedding Cake plants is 2.5L x 2.5W x 1H feet in size so 6.25 cubic feet. If my math serves me right after a couple beers at 11 at night, 1.8125ppm of pure nitrogen can double 3.125 sq. ft. of Wedding Cake in 7 Gallon pots within 10 days. ((14.5ppm!!! 13~ x more !!! PREVIOUS MATH WAS WRONG DOUBLE BRACKETS IS CORRECT)) 1.8125ppm / 3.125 sq.ft of additional growth = 0.58 ppm... right? So 0.58ppm of pure nitrogen can double 3.125 sq feet of Wedding Cake fan leaf and increase stem height 2-4 inches while also showing excess nitrogen signs through sugar leaf clawing? That seems insanely low... but wow. ((4.4615 ppm of pure nitrogen per sq.ft.w of growth MUCH HIGHER)) Nitrogen during Transition stage is a very delicate beast even at very low properties and if only miss used once. Especially if your plants are friggin bonkers huge. In the future instead of full feeding a flower bloom with nitrogen included in the micro to offset a micro deficiency, I will just double or triple the normal feeding and lower the liquid koolbloom as the bloom micro had phosphorous and potassium. Also might switch out the fert for just Advanced Nut. Micro (4-0-0) and Molasses. I dunno yet, lets see how well the plants yield. Okay... end of stoner thoughts. *end of fixing errors hopefully* ----- Day 26 ----- Humidity still improving slowly, but it should be fine within the week, took 5 gallons of water out of the air last night between the 2 dehumidifiers. Basement is 43-45% Humidity depending upon what gauge you look at. Tent is roughly 50%. Plants are gorgeous. Everything's great. Will pop photos later tonight before lights off, slow day today, at most I might remove couple fan leaves if I see any in the ways of bud site development. I've figured out the candy like smells finally. Tropicanna Glookies has a pink bubblegum smell and the Wedding Cake is a sweet gum but hints of Cherry. Pretty wild as it doesn't even smell like pot. Roughly 35-40 days left. It's almost Big Bulk time. 1 more feeding in week 4 tomorrow. Starting week 5 no more big bud, will continue no FloraNova Bloom and spot feed only if nitrogen deficiency signs begin to manifest in small quantities. Molasses takes over for FloraNova Bloom with a bit of Diamond nectar to assist chelation. *edit* added photos. Feeding probably tomorrow early, or mid light cycle for sure. ----- DAY 27 ----- Feeding time shortly, prob 30min away. Updated some pics. No new real info. Slow boring part of the grow before big bulk starts. Going to feed 24 liters 1200ish ppm at 6.4ph with no FloraNova Bloom as there's no nitrogen deficiency signs currently. *UPDATE* Video 1 - Full shot of the tent, I moved the trellis netting to show how strong the stems are. Look at them wave like a sea of wheat in the wind. They're gonna be able to hold up POUNDS if they need to.. love it. Video 2 - Tropicanna Glookies Back Right popcorn buds filling in, they're already bigger than my thumb and I've got big hands. **UPDATE** god damn front right plant just stretched 3~ stems 2-3 inches... Why?? B-52 is 2-1-4 .. didn't even know it had nitrogen in it... Big piss off. I did not want more stretch. Will not be using b-52 anymore, will only use it for nitrogen if the plant shows deficiencies since it's pretty much a nitrogen fertilizer... god I wish i knew that earlier. Wedding Cake looks maxed out thank god as it's the highest. Tropicanna can always be "lowered" by removing the height supports under the pots thankfully. When you are feeding every 2 days 1300~ ppm at 24ish liters, 2 parts nitrogen is a lot of nitrogen... I'll be a hell of a lot more selective when choosing fertilizers with nitrogen (I've always known cal/mag is 1-0-0 but that's fine) Most likely from here on out its no more b-52 unless yellowing of under canopy fan leaves begins. Molasses is the replacement for bloom (with diamond nectar). .. Friggin Nitrogen, man. Luckily there is not a new production of fan leaves, only stretch and in only 3-5 stems currently. I'll watch closely. Luckily didn't do a full b-52 feed today. 20ml instead of 40ml in 24Liters of water. ----- Day 28 ----- Last day of week 4!!! No news is great news at this stage of grow. Added some pics, i'll add couple more before lights off. Feeding tomorrow, no more big bud, won't be using b-52 or FloraNova Bloom. *** CHECK THAT LAST PHOTO!!!**** 14 inch long stem, all internode spacing between buds is sufficiently short enough to get full coverage. By the end of this grow I am expecting this single stem to be a single bud structure 14 inches in length. We shall see but i am EXCITED!!!

Whats up GD !!! ------------- GROWTH------------- They keep growing without problems, but added more micro vita and microbes are eating nutrients too fast, but does not matter as tomorrow im transplanting both plants. I hope taller cheese can eat more, as you can see, lower leaves are yellowing a bit. Wether is not good... cloudy days.. Started the training season !!! :) Used threads to bend the plants. You have to check the roots !! This combination works flawless.. They are more stinky this week, when you touch a plant smells like lemon skunky notes ... ------------- IRRIGATION------------- Watered both ladies, around 0.2-0.3l each one with nutrients. ------------- NUTRIENTS------------- Deeper underground (2ml/l) + Bio-Grow (2ml/l) + Micro Vita. New soil, mixed with Micro Vita + 1 ml/l Green Explosion + 1 ml/l Biogrow + 1ml/l Deep Underground 7l aprox pot --------------------------------------- Good vibes !! _24/04/2018_

18 plants, 5 strains. Each plant has 3 main buds. By means of LST I tried to make them all the same height. Because the plants have now stopped growing, leading is no longer necessary. The plants are still attached to the plant sticks with tie strips to support the buds when they get heavy later on. Lots and large leaves, and therefore a weekly large defoliation every week. The trichomes begin to appear. . All three Exotic Witch plants are mostly Indica types. A fantastic sweet pleasant intoxicating scent. The buds are already getting fat. EW # 1 - 87cm - lots of trichomes, slightly more sativa, quality EW # 2 - 96cm - fat buds, probably a big yielder EW # 4 - 71cm - smallest plant, lower yield

02/01/2021 Going to sprout my last 2 Bluedreamatic seeds from (fast buds). Will be sprouting in mini greenhouse on heat mat. Once seedlings are ready they will be moved under 1000w MH for veg and flowering. 10+hours later they are on bottom of water and time for paper towels in baggie. 02/03/2021 1 seed sprouted and I dropped the other in soil 🙏 I hope because it disappeared! So got at least one Bluedreamatic on the way hoping to see other one sprout in mixing tray. 02/05/2021 She's above ground! Day #1 , currently under 150w compact flourecent 3 way bulb when first true leaves form (Not single finger let)I will start veg cycle under 1000w MH see you in 3-4 days for weekly update. topped seedling pot with vermiculite 1/2-3/4 inches leaving the cotdtyledons 1/2-3/4 inches above surface. Roots should fill up this container quickly, moved under1000w MH light for vegging. Seedling is 3-4 ft away from light but also off to the side no serious heat just about room temperature. I could not feel heat from light where I put seedling, comfortable on your skin is good for plants. 02/11/2021 It's day #6 above the soil, she is doing well already grown 2" above where I topped with vermiculite. At lights out I put her in humidity dome with my tomato seedlings main area of grow gets very cool at night,so I try to keep her at a better temp 72°f.

Clones got transplanted into 1gal Rapid Stack pots, this will facilitate the next transplant into the live soil grow bed with no stress. Quick and easy transplanting with no root shock or damage to the plant. Plants still drinking rain water, top dressed with Bokashi Pro-Gro, the soil is recycled and organic :) Check my Instagram for more grow content @GirlGoneWeed

This little girl started her journey on April 4th with germination into a water glass and finished up on June 27/20 – Day 78 from germination. She was a fun grow and was very resilient through the whole run. She spent most of her grow time in a 20/4 light schedule. She formed nice frost levels and stayed to a very nice and manageable height of roughly 20” tall without topping or bending her main stem. She was not as fussy about nutrient levels and took them well. She does like her medium on the dryer side though. Small little auto bush of OG Kush crossed with Indica genes😃 She would make a nice a plant to run while you are vegging out some photos for 6 or 8 weeks as she is not very big in size but will swell up and yield decent weight👍 She was grown in a 3 gallon fabric pot with coco coir and maybe 15% perlite. She was fed salt based nutrients……..so sorry but they are flushed out and that is what I am more comfortable with. Focus on the early growth with microbes, fungi and kelp!! She was fed the normal pattern with pH being held around the 5.4 to 5.8 range in feeding. Then as flower approached, I gave the pots a more consistent look at the runoff numbers and she was running 7.8pH coming out of her!!!!! WTF. She stayed in her pot that she was planted in and fought this issue all through the rest of her grow. The pH issues started surfacing around week 3….as we headed into flower of course. Scratching my head for weeks, I ultimately didn’t change anything other than really low pH feeding going in…….below 4 idea. For weeks she had 3.9 water going in and still getting 7.8 running off. I initially felt it was related to cheap fabric bags so I cut slits in the very bottom of the bags that stayed and tried transplanting other girls into plastic pots, which it can be fabric pot issues but I am not as convinced anymore for this run that there was an issue there, wasn’t sure about giving her Magnesium on top of Magnesium and therefore did I mess her up good on the inside early on in week 2 idea, out of options I changed back to RO water and that seems to have solved my issues……I was using tap water that was not filtered this run🤬 The pH was high so that was adjusted but with the ppm being at 185 to 200 range I chose not to buy a filter and just dechlorinated the water only. I was tired of lugging 5 gallon water bottles in and out of the basement😃 That is a difference from all other grows…..silly for not catching this by week 4! So…….back to lugging bottles in and out of the basement😂😂😂 She really started to take shape around weeks 7 and 8 and formed a beautiful little cannabis plant and grew to 20” tall and roughly 18” wide. Main focus with her was to just perform LST on side branches and let the top go…….I wanted to just let her go and see what would happen to her main cola for size and height……plus I don’t do that…….I always bend over the tops on my grows so this was a little different for myself. She grew very nice leaves and a lot of them. This pheno had a lot of leaves to her and that is fine……its not really my first choice in characteristics of a plant though..…..so much more work at trim time……Green Poison XL Auto, SWS71, was a dream to trim👍 as a comparison!! She didn’t fox tail very much she firmed up her buds towards the end. The resin production was a little slower coming out in her but by week 7/8 she was getting pretty impressive😋😋😋 White and sticky!! She smelt of woods with citrus notes…..works for me👌 There were no issues at all retaliated to pests or bugs……I threw in a couple sticky traps but there weren’t any to catch. She handled the high humidity in this run great and there were no signs of any powdery mildew👍👍👍 She is a very stable strain from Sweet Seeds! Day 63 was last feeding, flushed for almost two weeks. Rezin and Liquid Weight still given for one of the weeks but the last week was plane water. In hind-site I think I should have hit her with some Flawless Finish to help get that last bit out of her. She did feed on most of her nutrients but some of the lower leaves were still more green that I would have liked. She was cut down on day 77…..11 weeks is about what I suspect looking at her in week 7…….this was roughly 8 weeks flower time……makes sense😃 She grew for 75 days and then I decided what the heck…….she needs a hole in her stem to stress her out😃 I didn’t try breaking a branch but rather drilled a hold into the base of her stem……something new to try out. I think I will try more holes next time….max 3 I think……then I want to run a couple with cracking their stems and see if there is a difference👍 I feel more in control of a drill and its accuracy vs bending branches and they snap where they want to…….anyway it was worth a try!!!! Worst case, it made it easy to hang her as a whole plant to dry😃 This girl battled pH issues all her life and as a result the buds were not where I would have liked them. There were not fluffy…..but here were not as hard as I would like for rolling joints, so the whole girl went to concentrates She dried for 7 day as a whole plant, 2 days more in smaller branches, then 1 day curing in jars before dry ice sift. She yielded 74g of dry cured buds, 2.65 ounces. Not bad…..I don’t think her buds would have gotten a lot bigger but they certainly would have had more weight if they firmed up…..grower issue, not genetics. So…..lets make some rosin from this girl🤩 The yields on this and making her hash a perfect colour are not what this process is about…..let’s get that out of the way right away……this is about another way to enjoy and consume my cannabis for my own relaxation and medicinal needs. Taking pictures of rosin is always a challenge…..it is always dark in the pictures unless you are using a nice DSLR to let more light in. Rather than making bubble hash with water, I just used the bags to make a dry ice kief from the buds. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a block of dry ice and had to use these cubes…….don’t like these as much because there are too many surfaces beating your green plant material and your kief goes green before long when shaking. Could have done it with out ice all together…..nicer hash but lots left on the plant afterwards that way so yield is low. Used two bags in this extraction, the 220 as the bag for edibles and the 120 as the bag for pressing rosin to smoke…..dry ice hash rosin!! The yield on this from the 74g of bud was 22.4g kief. 220 bag was 12.6g and the 120 bag was 9.8g. Not great I guess but I didn’t want to keep going for 4 and 5 minutes with the bags…..these were roughly 2 minutes with the 220 being 3 minutes on the high side. You can certainly see that the 120 product is more golden in colour than the 220 but since I didn’t crazy, the 220 is still a very nice colour. Last step on this journey was then to take the kief and make our rosin. I pressed product using 37um bags with the temp set at 160 degrees. All were done the same for the most part……roughly 4 gram presses, the same temperature, and the time. The first presses were 90 to 120 seconds. If a second press was done on the pouch, then it was at the same temp but for only 40 to 50 seconds. The yield on this was just shy of 7 grams…….6.77g…..roughly 30% yield from Kief???,…..roughly 9.2% from flower???…….would have likely done better right from flower😂 😂 😂 it was fun, regardless of the yield😃 Tasty rosin!!!! Can’t beat rosin for getting the true tastes of the plants. These numbers are absolutely due to my abilities with extraction.......sure don’t judge the genetics based on my returns......she is a frosty plant and will give great returns!!!👍👍 Several pictures show that, I hope!! So that will wrap up this diary for Sweet Seeds Killer Kush Auto, SWS56. Certainly give this girl some consideration if you like OG Kush and also have space concerns in your grow. She is beautiful frosty little girl with a punch. Certainly get the usual woody and citrus notes from her rosin and she has a lasting high. She helps to get get you going and willing to finally start cleaning that corner of the room you have been avoiding…….watch out though…..distractions😃……next thing you know 40 minutes go by and you are staring at a box of DVD’s wondering what happened to CD’s…….cassette tapes (the art of the “mix tape”), 8 tracks, vinyl……ALBUM COVER ART Baby!!!!!! Then its either back for another rip, or get your crap done because the next rip leads into even less work getting done😃😃 Great job as usual @Sweet_Seeds !!! Looking forward to the next one……Cream 47 photoperiod……actually, already done germination and a new diary coming👍👍…..compare a 3 gal pot to a 5 gal pot, or a fabric vs air pot, and see what my yield differences are?? Thanks for the read and greatly appreciate the comments Growmies!!!!! Love spending time on a forum for growers to help fellow growers. Much grower love and thanks again for your time, opinions, and suggestions🙏🙏🙏 Cheers!!

Last week of feeding before flush. Worked out perfectly for the amount of nutrients I have left of nectar for the gods. Once the aphrodite extraction runs dry, nothing but water after that. She looks happy and healthy. Frosty like snowman! Cant wait to harvest her. 4 11 21 Flush continues. Happy healthy girl. Another successful week in the bag

4/28 Day 35 I wish this plant was bigger. Could be my fault. Her transition to flower was at such an odd time(3weeks) and that’s when her last feeding was coming to an end but should I give her flower nutes early? Do half an half? Or just wait and then give flower? I waited and I shouldn’t have considering that organic inputs take time to feed your plants. Depending on what you’re using. First time trying Gaia green. I do like the ease of it but it would take some adjustments for me to utilize it best. A month between feeding is too long for my impatient ass and it gives me too long of a commitment to not fuck up. I’m also using roots organics with some other plants and I’m really liking the weekly feedings. It makes more sense than a month. What if I have a strain that’s like 10 week flower? Do I just do another dose at week 7 and 8 and then because it’s “organic you don’t need to flush” thing. Probably over thinking it but yeah here’s my plant yall 😂

Let's go I think just 2 more weeks

Day 92 - Starting week 14 and this is by far the longest any strain I’ve grown has gone and I’m hoping she’ll be ready by the end of week 15. Debating on if I should start the nutes back up but not sure if that’ll do anything for her. Day 93 - Nothing much to update today but she will be needing some water tomorrow. All the leaves are being sucked dry but just don’t see the pistils starting to die off yet, all are still bright white. Gonna check the trichs tomorrow before feeding and maybe trichs will show she’s almost done. Worried I started flushing too soon. Day 94 - Gave her another 2 gallons of water pH’d to 6.6 today. Other than that I just removed quite a bit of leaves but still haven’t done a heavy defoliation yet. I’ll probably take care of that tomorrow since most of them are yellowed up now. A lot of milky trichs in there but still a ton of clear so still has some time left. Day 95 - Nothing much new today, just monitoring her trichs even though she still has a ton of white pistils. She does have quite a few milky but most clear overall. Day 96 - Nothing new to report today. All is looking good, just not sure when she’s gonna finish up. Not seeing any signs of the pistils dying off so gonna keep letting her go but still only giving her plain pH’d water. Day 97 - She still seems to be going strong. Gave her two gallons of pH’d water today. Really hoping I start seeing the pistils shrivel up soon. There’s a lot more milky trichs but still quite a bit of clear. Hoping she’ll be finishing up in the next two weeks. Day 98 - End of week 14 and still going strong. Nothing much I can say right now but I’m gonna keep giving her water until she finishes up. Looks like some of her pistils might finally be starting to shrivel up so may have two weeks left.

She is the real Queen 👑 of the family. The Gsc is grow like under summer sun 🌞 very very fast and bigger respect the other sisters. She go really very well i belive our best auto but we are only beginners. Amazing leaves, new little buds is born, the trunk is large like a big plant and the structure is perfect. I know topping is nnon the best for auto but with rapid grow genetics is a bomb. Italian Cespuglio.
