This week went great again. The flowers are chunking up more now, filling with trichomes. The smell is amazing🤤🤤🤤! Afghan kush early harvest is impressive with chunky buds already.Pink kush has the best smell and beautiful Color’s on her leaves. They all smell great. Orange bunz smell like oranges. Lots of trichomes everywhere! These LED lights seem to be doing a great job so far. Gaia green hasn’t disappointed me yet, always heathy happy plants. I defoliated a bunch a little bit over time to make sure I didn’t run into pm or other issues. 🔥💨💚✌️🏼

***April 30 Sorry guys, I know I'm super late for this week's update. Things have been busy with my pregnancy so I didn't have much time to sit down and document. Reservoir has been changed Monday as per usual, same amount of nutrients. The main top branch was getting some light stress because it wouldn't stop growing upwards, so I supercropped it over. It's been 2-3 days since I've done that, and it doesn't seem to mind. It also opens up the middle of the plant so now some of the lower bits can get a lot more light access! Trimmed the roots pretty good as well when I did the reservoir change. The pistils are starting to brown, and the nugs are absolutely solid. A nice amount of trichomes found on the fan leaves also! Freakshow is said to be a 9-12 week flowering strain, so I think it's still got a few weeks to push through, and I might really push on the nutrients as it gets to the end, but so far so good! It's dank as all darkness, and the smell waves over you every time you enter the same room or open the tent in the morning. This girl still manages to impress me every time I look at her. Very happy with 7east genetics so far! Also changed brands of calmag, to future harvest calnesium!

She's by far the prettiest plant I've grown, she keeps smelling better and better. I haven't documented the nutrients very well but within the past few weeks I've slowly started feeding her more and more till it's seems like a significant amount to note. She's looking to finish up by Christmas hopefully!

Welcome to my Purple Haze Autoflower sponsored & by MSNL seed company. Well, its pretty much in the name. And I think even the most newest person to cannabis has heard of it. Like White Widow and Skunk. Its kinda a house hold name in this industry. And been what it is. I've no doubts MSNL will have made a blinder. As for achieving purple in the pheno. I find. You've to have everything going strong and no mess ups to give you a higher chance of getting purple. Even, then you may not get it. But, color of fan leafs has never really been important, nor will it ever be. I do have the temperatures to help me get purple if I want. But, asl I do so many grows at the same time. I keep an even temperature as much as I can throughout the entire crop. 19-22c atm that is. My drying room i can reach 10c at the moment. That will come up to 19c by April. (At this stage I should have my winter crop all dried) This is my last plant to start for this crop. I'm pushing it to the max this year. I've many plants. A few I plan to grow big. But 70% will be average grows which I'll be happy once they hit or go by 40g per plant. She has between 15-19% THC.. not normally a preference for myself. I like much stronger phenos. But, I had to give this strain a go. I'm getting round to the classics. As this is more or less what I grew up on as a teen. So, looking forward to tasting this baby. Edit After 30+hrs. Seed was placed on wet substrate that was soaked in 1L of Pure Zym.& Power Roots. After placing the seed i then added 0.1 of a liter of dry substrate on top of the seed. (Just moist soil) this will lower the risk of damping of completely nearly as this won't need watering for at least 10+ days. 1/5th of BatMix was added to the end of the pot with the rest been filled with Royal Mix, both are fertilised soil. But to get Alga Grow going as its an Organic product you should try get that going early. Just a small amount to kick-start the Organic process which takes longer while using Organic products. Pure zym & PR will help it break down any nutes as she's a seedling after all. So, I hope the soil won't be too hot. So, I'll hold off on any NPK feeds for now or anything else until she's into veg. Thanks to my sponsor MSNL and to all who work tiresomely to bring us fantastic strains. Also, to whomever drops by. I appreciate you. Drop a like so I can visit your diaries. Either way thanks for stopping by.

One of the two phenos is a week ahead of the other. The buds are developing and frosting up real nice. Im having a little issue with yellowing fan leaves on the upper half of the plants... after some research it seems like some growers have the same issue with this strain so idk... any thoughts? I dusted off a old camera I hadn't used in a long time, working on taking better quality pictures. Thanks for following

27/02/19 - Cant wait for these to be done as I’ve never had gelato before so I feel like I’m missing out 😂 but yeah other than I let them stretch abit taller than I usually prefer it’s all going well, new genetics/nutrients/medium seem to be doing the job. 02/03/19 - Just transplanted all into their final pot, just in time I think as it looked like the roots were starting to circle at the bottoms of the pot, sprinkled half a tea spoon of Mykos on each hole prior to the transplant & fed them 2.5 litres each. I was going to saturate the whole pot but I’ll do that next feeding.

Well , so I started the week having some over-fertilization problems and some of the leaves were getting curly , also green was too intense. Due to some great advice from more experienced growers I decided to give'em just water for this past week which I guess was great, you can see color of the leaves in the last video I posted, look more natural overall Today I decided to gently break the main stem from my tallest girl in order to see if it ill grow better in horizontal position and will start fattening buds soon, I've used the same technique in another one was growing too tall and now its fattening properly, that was one week ago tho Overall everything went fine , had some problems with water, I guess I will feed 'em more often , maybe every 3-4 days with 2-3 days just water and then my organic nutrients cocktail. I'm very happy to see my tent almost full of white hairs (pistils) everywhere yeahh! I've found out as well that every of them its female so can't complaint. From next week I'll try to show how that plant I've bent over is doing , and also will start applying nutrients together with the water, also need to put the net higher and show a real SOG I'm using some baking soda and vinegar in order to create CO2 but I guess the reaction finishes quite fast About defoliation I don't feed very confident since I think flowers need as much energy leaves can absorb in order to be big plus the leaves of my plants are huge and I love that, never sees bigger leaves, ofc I know I'm new in the game but would like to see things myself as well Thanks for every advice and I hope we keep on growing together and learning from each other Have a good one everybody!!

1/4 - start of week 5, the broken branch isn't looking good. I installed the 5 arm light which is my biggest light for the veg compartment. 500ppfd right now, drop it 1 inch and I'm just a bit over 600 at canopy level. I'm hoping to get her to recover and ill bend the 2 remaining branches towards each other to fill the gap for a 3 arm lady, still planning to top but now will get 6, 12, and 24 tops...hopefully 1/5 - slight training day, I bound the 3 branches so that they were more uniform and evenly spaced out in the pot. I'll let her take shape a few days with the restraints and the. Top her maybe Friday. 1/7 - she got her topping. I'm leaving 2 nodes on each branch for a total of 12 tops right now. She will get one more topping before its all over for a total of 24 tops, probably 2 weeks out on that. Feeding in the next day or 2. Update: dropped the fan speed to 2 for temp and humidity testing. 1/9 - RAW Feeding tonight, she is starting to recover well from the topping, I now have 15 or so tops with one of the 3 arms splitting into 7 tops rather than 4. I think I will leave her this way to veg out to the height I need without further topping. I’m planning on training the shoots out to the sides so many more tops may develop as new nodes come through. I’m just really hoping she doesn’t start to flower on me early!! 2L distilled water 3g Grow 2g Kelp 0.57g Cal/Mag 2g Microbes Grow Stage 0.63g Amino Acids 0.14g Enzymes 6.0ph 66.9*F 1060ppm Also found a new way to mix my RAW nutrients without having them stick to the bottom...small landscaping pond pump! It gets the water moving nicely and I just drop the dry nutes in, mixes it for me and I can easily fine tune PH and test PPM without having to shake and take samples! Huge win. 1/10 - Another week in the books. Did some fan leaf tucking so the tops had direct light. I'm still trying to grow her sideways so I'm thinking a solid 3 or 4 more weeks of veg. Things should speed up now though. I dont think I will be topping again but we shall see. Topping again would guarantee 30 tops which according to my math is a bit too many for my grow space.

HARVEST TIME AT DAY 55 - 06/08/21 I wanted to get these ladies cut before we go through a heat spell. they were all ready but the gelato could have used a few extra days to make some more amber trikes... oh well cut them all and hung them at 72F @ 55%RH - hopefully I can keep the temps from fluctuating too much! I did a bit of trimming before the 48 hour dark period but none today see y'all in a week or so... if i can keep the temps good then it should be more like 10 days... we'll see! THCdaddy

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Day 16: New grow week and took some sitting time to kind of adjust the soil and plant locations within the tent. Like I said in the beginning didn't fill the pots so kind of scooped out soil to a stand-bye pot and compressed the soil some near the stalks. I got so really nice healthy stalks that I'm gonna post so check em. Been probably overfeeding but at this point I need nutrient's and these ladies seem to be taking it pretty well so not really worried about it and adding GREASE into my batch of feeding this week. I left a gallon of pre-mix in the tent and am a bit worried so kind of went for a fresh batch and tossed the one sitting in the tent.(Damn it) Raised the light's also just because I want them to reach up. I love to stockiness of my plants right now but need more height. 8ish..got a great pair of paring scissors so trimmed and topped my girls...not sure if that was a good move this early in the grow but this is where the learning and experience comes from I guess. Leaving one alone to have comparisons. Think I'm gonna leave em be for a few and see what happens! Day 17: greeting growth spurts like "wow" Finished off second week batch with a all around watering using a 2 cup pouring cup. Giving each plant about 1 1/2 cups per plant around the main stem outwards. Gonna be mixing my 3rd week feeding probably with 2morrows watering of VPT sesezym and Carbo load for watering but no feeding until Sunday afternoon. Day 18: The gloves are off and I'm swinging for the fences at this point. Watering every day it seems like just trying to keep thing moist and in growth. Watering diameter increasing and going for bottom root watering if that makes any sense. I knocked over one of my babies twice and she is soo rooted, didn't even phase her so think my stems are pretty strong. Took away the milk crate training wheels and giving my plants healthy doses of nutrients to keep them vegging out. Day 19: 7ish Heavy feeding and went up on all my nutrients to full 8ml per gallon. I have 7 plants and usually go through that gallon per feeding at this point. Expanding the watering and not quite to the edges yes but sure i'll be there in a few days give or take. Sat with the plants while watering listening to B.M. and just enjoying the expressions and melodies of life while learning the finer points of growing. os Clipped my tops and am getting those branches to grow out so happy about that. I was a bit nervous seeing those pretty tops laying in the dirt but was happy to see the results of the training. Gonna start with a bit of twine training in the comings days and watching for cal and mag deficiencies as I go. I see a few leaves looking a bit off color so will mist in the coming days. On another note got a pack of Fast Flowers from 420Fastbuds!!!! The Buds look soooo beautiful and enticing that I just couldn't resist!!! My next grow is gonna be so legit!!!! Day 20: lightly misted with some Golden Goddess and gonna seszyme vpt with AE,GI,MT rhino and b2....not alot since soil moist but enough on the outsides to keep the root zone going. Plants are getting really bushy and snipping but not too much. Day 21: Watering today and just thinking bout this 4th week. Watering with some sensi cal. Also going for another humidifyer in tha tent for more even humidification. My plants look pretty strong but looking for more roots to get bigger plants. Gonna stay with the vtp mix. I got 5gallon pot so we got the space. Didn't put any clay @ bottom of my pots so once these pots flush, hope I get good drainage. Been defoliating...smh. like trimming my hair always too much so just hitting the bottom parts of plants so that they can get air. 8ish: thinking I may need to go up on my PH a bit just to prevent my roots from locking from all the nutrition. I want them to be able to get all these nutrients in a get some decent sized plants. Not sure if it's the cutting of the lower fan leaves. Just have to wait until morning to see how my plants respond.

Solid week. Very fast growth despite topping. Amped up the light a little bit and will begin some LST soon to try and spread the plants horizontally. Updates as we go. -8/10/2021 - Did some LST, HST and a little cleanup of some lower crap that wasn't too promising.

Como se puede ver en el timelapse de la semana anterior la planta va dejando atrás esos problemas de crecimiento de hojas y cada vez va más rápida ayudada principalmente por ese gran par de hojas del segundo nudo. He realizado una poda apical justo después del cuarto nudo como se puede ver en las imagenes. APlicaré LST cuando esas dos ramas principales estén claramente visibles, lo que calculoque será en un par de días y posteriormente colocaré la maya de scrog (calculo que esto será sobre la cuarta semana de crecimiento), dependiendo como vea la malla entonces pasaré a ciclo de floración o dejaré otra semana de crecimiento, pero máximo 5 semanas de vegetativo. La fertilización la mantengo sin cambios, aun queda bastante solución nutritiva en el depósito, la cual mantiene el ph a cerca de 6 (6.07) y la ec al estabilizarse ha subido un poco 1,7 que sigue siendo un buen valor.
