I absolutely love to watch them grow! Especially that moment they hit their first growth spurt. I started with RO water that is remineralized for drinking purposes. The ppm is only 18! My tap is 156! So considering they don’t need much water, I’ve been stealing some of our drinking water. The RO water starts at pH of 7. After I add the nutrients, ppm of 249 @ pH of 5.8 while soil is still sweet @ pH of 7 I think my days are off as a new week begins on the last day of the previous week. I am going to leave that for consistency. 04/21 - Noticing some possible nutrient issues with the Fruity Pebbles for several days now. Going to see what she needs. Up front I’m thinking maybe just a super small amount of Amino Acids with a little Epsom Salt. Maybe she is struggling to access the nitrates from the neem cake. IF it’s a issues with nitrogen. We will see. Maybe she would benefit from some extra calcium?… Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Day 22 and I am noticing how these girls have been burning up a lot of potassium lately, dealing with the wind and sun 💨 ☀️, getting pushed around all day. I plant to top dress with some Kelp Meal pretty soon. Day 24 -> 4/22/22- a quote from the weather on today’s red flag warning and dust storm warning. “ HAZARD...Less than a quarter mile visibility with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. SOURCE...Satellite imagery. IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel.” I’m keeping the girls inside today. Day 26, I was planning to check the runoff on some of these girls, especially the fruity pebbles, however I messed that up as I also top dressed WAY too much of the seaweed bliss. So I flushed with plain RO water at pH of 7 until there was only slight coloration in the runoff. I didn’t check the runoff as a lot has changed with all that flushing. So next watering/feeding I will make sure I check the runoff on multiple plants. So the seaweed bliss with its 17 on potassium, seems to be the most likely culprit for why there is a bronze-ish color on the inside of the new growth. Hopefully a foliar feed of Epsom salts can correct the problem. Inside tent, lights on LOW. Noticing similar pattern in all of them to a degree, most noticeable in the fruity pebbles.

Starting week 6 Tent is being slowly full A little bit too hot for the next days as the weather outside will climb to 36-38°C, I thnk I will bring them some CO2. I will check with the growshop. Any idea is welcome. The stretch is really impressive, 1 of them get 20cm in 7 days Waiting for the buds 😁 Day 39 I have now added CO2 with an organic boost, it is linked it to the fan. Should be a little bit better with that temperature

End of week 4 in the books. They are starting to stack, especially the Taquitz OG. The Fire OG is full of bud sites that im hoping will turn into colas. Tropicana cookies is starting to express more purple notes along with her blingbling of trichomes. Still battling humidity, between 45-65%. Hoping to grab a bigger humidifier, i have 2 small $40 ones, but its not cutting it.

Week 4: A Flourishing Symphony of Growth and Transition Greetings, fellow cultivators and green enthusiasts! Week 4 with our Panty Punch Auto has been nothing short of a botanical marvel, a harmonious blend of veg and flower phases unfolding before our very eyes. Join me as we embark on a journey through the lush landscape of her growth, enriched by the remarkable support of TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Seedstockers, and the vibrant community on Grow Diaries. As we transition into Week 4, the sheer vitality of our Panty Punch Auto is simply awe-inspiring. Her growth trajectory knows no bounds, with each day bringing forth leaves of unprecedented size and vigor. It's a testament to the resilience of autoflowers and the magic woven into their genetic makeup. Amidst this whirlwind of growth, the emergence of her pre-flower signals the impending transition to the flowering phase. It's a breathtaking sight to behold, a delicate dance of life unfolding in the heart of our grow space. With each passing day, her beauty deepens, foreshadowing the abundance of blooms to come. As Week 4 draws to a close, we bid adieu to the veg feeding regimen provided by Aptus Holland. It has been instrumental in nurturing our plant through her formative stages, but the time has come to adjust our approach for the flowering phase. Stay tuned as we unveil the new recipe in the weeks to come. Transitioning Technology: From Hydro-X to Tent-X The heartbeat of our grow space continues to pulse under the vigilant gaze of the TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller. However, an exciting shift looms on the horizon as we prepare to transition to the cutting-edge technology of the Tent-X Controller. Its arrival heralds a new era of precision and control, promising to elevate our cultivation experience to new heights. Before I conclude this report, I extend heartfelt thanks and shout-outs to Grow Diaries, Seedstockers, and Aptus Holland for their unwavering support and contributions to this journey. A special acknowledgment to TrolMaster for providing the controllers that have been instrumental in optimizing our grow environment. Wishing all contestants in the Grow Diaries contest the best of luck on their green adventures.

Day#37 update: i finally made her beg for her water . The way all her leaves are hanging at a downward angle , then in the 1st video if you look you can see her “drooping” leaves begin to “pray” stand themselves back up. O watered her to run off then did a life-medium defoliation instead of a super heavy one like I planned and then I “ponytailed” each of her main tops to allow the other nodes to become strong to produce more branching . Day#40Update: the re-growth from defoliating & pony tailing has been decent . On one or two she’s trying her hardest to break out of the tie. I’ll release her from the ponytails later today & we’ll see where we are in two days for day #42 week 6 The plan is still to top all her main tops after untying the ponytails . Day#42 Update : end of week #6 she’s growing so evenly and well that I ru still don’t see a benefit in topping. These lateral sode branches are growing for what they know . She’s a squat plant for sure but man is she full. She’s been in this one gallon since day #9 so it’s been 33 days she should be asking for food soon . I’m debating on top dressing her in the one gallon or up-potting during a transplant for her . Part of me wants to skip forward straight to a 6gall pot but part of me is saying to “punish” her a little more and leave her in this pot a few more weeks .

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.

At the end of the 12th week I decided to chop. The plant grown a lot filling my entire tent, il she gives to me about 500g (or more) of wet harvest. The smell is very intense and the buds are sticky a lot. I put the branches into the tent with the dehumidifier, fan and extractor 24 hours on. Update: two weeks after the first harvest I've decided that it is time to harvest the second plant that I transferred outdoor when I discovered that she was showing signs of illness. It's buds are not so fat as the ones of the other plant, but they are rich of trichomes. Harvest today, light trimming and put the branches into a box.

1/12: impatiently waiting for lemon auto to finish up. Still not sure what the northern lights is trying to do, but..the little buds are slowly growing. S l o w l y... 1/14: things are getting out of hand in here. Northern lights is bushy AF again but the budlets appear to be increasing in size. Lemon is getting closer every day. Looks like I've got milky trichomes and the pistils are darkening. Still a bit early, but I'd be lying if I wasn't anxious for the space.. 1/15: I've accepted that I have at least a week ish left on Lemon auto,but she's getting there! I did some rather risky defoliation on northern lights and holy shit, she's got potential. I'm hoping she's just a slow grower and those buds will really fatten up! Perhaps lemon is just a really fast growing plant? I've also decided that since space is limited, my best bet is to probably rotate the plants every other day to allow all bid sites an opportunity for direct light. I'm reigning myself in. Once lemon auto is harvested I need to NOT immediately plant another. I've got some mephosito seeds I want to get going, but I've learned my lesson. This tent fits two 5 gallon mature plants... Uncomfortably. Three is too many 😂 1/17: wondering if northern lights has is it her to fatten up. Gave her a good flush &feed. Popcorn buds or not, I'm invested (#forscience). Lemon auto is still finishing up. Can't get good enough pics with phone to see trichomes. Clearly, I have a minimum of a week left, but I got a digital microscope so I can keep track! Should be here for next update.

📆 Semana 5 El mal tiempo continúa 😞, con lluvias y poca luz, lo que sigue afectando el desarrollo de la planta. Aunque el crecimiento sigue siendo lento, se mantiene sana y sin signos de estrés o deficiencias. Los nudos siguen formándose de manera adecuada, aunque con menos vigor del esperado. Seguimos cuidando al máximo para que, cuando el clima mejore, recupere el ritmo de crecimiento. ¡No nos rendimos! 💪

I placed the 2 seeds in a damp paper towel and placed it into a closed Tupperware. The tupperware was placed in my stereo cabinet (warmest place I could find) and less than a day taps roots were showing. I then placed them in my humidity dome and within 18hrs I had roots sprouting thru the bottom of the sponge. This has been the best start I have yet to have. I also built a new RDWC system with waterfalls to veg and flower these two in. I have photos and video above on the new tent setup. I have it running with just regular tap water until the seedlings are ready to go in. I have also installed a 90gpd RO system (APEC brand) under my kitchen sink. The water comes out 5.8ph and 7ppm. I will be using this RO water thru the entire grow with some Cal-mag of course. The system holds about 25 gallons total of water. The main res is 17 gallons and the two buckets are 5 gallons. I will no longer be using air stones. I have a recirculating pump in the main res, waterfalls in the buckets and of course the main pump running the whole system. Should be plenty of air for the roots. I used 2 in return pipes in the hopes of avoiding roots clogging the pipes. I scrogged last time but I'm not sure I will be going that route. I might just top and train. I will be doing a major defoliation on one and just simple trimming on the other. I am trying to find out if the risks of stressing the plant are worth the returns. Well wish me luck....and away we go.

finally they are in flower! Yay final foliar spray applied. They are still smelling like chocolate and peanut butter. Did not get 1 drop of rain this week. It is getting so frustrating plants are 1/4 what they should be this year.
