Plants are looking awesome. Skullcap is extremely frosty, the whole tent reeks and no hiccups. I've noticed that the (14) pineapple express #2 seems to be less dense of a bud cola, its looking like the (15) Pineapple express #2 is the better version. If it doesn't tighten up this one's out of the running. I already got rid of the skullcap mom, great quality, but not the quantity I wanted to see.

This week has been interesting. As i prommised last week i have upgraded the lights to just about 200w.tue to it being homemade i used what i had, the lights ended up being a colder tone. But more light is better i supose. Towards the end of the week there was a noticeable stretch, so there is finaly signs of flowering starting. Plants are looking really good. Started adding more potasium and phosphorus in preperation, before cuting off the nitrogen towards the end of the stretch. Any feedback is welcome, best way to improve is to learn from mistakes, but i feel like i am mising some of my mistakes.

This plant was an absolute dream to. Grow, no issues at all with health of plant, just struggled to tame her as she was a a thick strong climber πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ. I'm so impressed with how this turned out, I could have flushed for another 3 days to make it 12days but I needed the space. After The 2 days of dark I was recommended I can definitely say it has vastly boosted her trichomes and the smell when I opened the tent blew my head away πŸ˜πŸ˜‹ Aiming for a 10-14 day hang dry, The 10-12 weeks curing in jars with humidity packs. I will update with a dry bud weight and smoke test πŸ‘Œ Bud wet weight is just 500g+ Final bud dry weight is 298g. Of juicy resinous purple and orange buds 😍 smells like sherbert and hang dry smoke test revealed a candy sherbert, no banana yet but hoping like the grow it matures with cure process now. Hits eyes straight away, sandy bottom kids, giggles, munchies, fun time with Mrs, bed. Full cycle with this one very happy over here πŸ˜‰πŸ˜πŸ’š FAT BANANA AUTO FROM ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS, big thank you to the team, and the breaders. What a pheno I received. I appreciate you all

For the last day of the year we treat ourselves to the story of a special little girl. Her name is Biscotti, her name already says it all about the potential of this young girl born in Holland with this beautiful Italian Strain Name, she is precious and full of style since conception. She looks like she was designed by Pininfarina who smokes joints. It's a bit as if Gianni Versace had dressed her, extravagant, provocative, truly flamboyant, if you have the patience to look at the thousand photos that I made clear that I literally couldn't stop taking. It's a journey I don't want to leave, especially when I'm in the middle of it. terpenes, please leave me there! She grew up quietly, with her small internodal distance you could see that she was beautiful even without flowers, but it was when she flowered that she truly gave her best. Already from the first weeks of flowering you can understand very very well that the girl has a bright color and she threw resin very early thanks to Power Buds, Sugar Royal and Green Sensation in my opinion. The flowers have an imposing shape, they really are beautiful little purple beasts just in the dry room, for a few days soon we will do an initial test and then we will wait to taste it without too much fresh taste. I’m about sure to have rated 10 stars the strain and all feeding 5 stars but i found the strain rated 9 stars and the feeding 4, not sure but almost sure. I often get sad when I cut it, I'm too sad to cut it, I always think I'll smoke it and everything, but it's so beautiful that it makes my heart ache to cut it. It's her life cycle, otherwise she would rot for goodness sake, it's a joke but I really have a moment of shock in her heart. She'll move on to the first vaporized one I guess. Technique used - She was worked with a. single topping cut but leaving the two branches lower than the cut, thus obtaining 4 main branches with the relative branches. I also did a bit of LST at the beginning but having space problems then I decided not to let it expand too much. Flowers are beautiful beasts for truly yummi. Fertilizers - We have to make a special mention of Plagron I wrote a review in this diary which only partially explains how good this line of fertilizers is. I feel like I saw with my own eyes the changes in the plants when I gave the additives, I really saw the plants push in resin and everything. For more information read the review, I don't like to be repetitive, I don't write the quantities, they are also in the diary and in any case very similar to those recommended by the manufacturer. Never exceed this with any fertilizer and always flush. Light and home - The light was provided by MarsHydro and the home as well, it is the SP 3000, a piece that is not of the latest generation but which I love for its length of around 110 cm which you can understand how it covers me super well, the 120 wide wide grow room cm, 60cm deep and 180cm high, always supplied by them with a better than average covering by a lot and fantastic windows from which to spy on the girls. I really love accessory holders that hang either inside or outside the growbox. top brand now leader. There are many photos like my passion for this wonderful plant, look at as many as you want but if you have the patience to get to the end there are various super crop terpenes, beautiful and big like Porcini Mushrooms. Love you "BISCOTTI IS BETTER THAN COOKIES" Recommend this strain to everyone, go out and shout it in the streets, Biscotti is the most beautiful in the situation. https://www.zamnesia.io/it/9484-zamnesia-seeds-biscotti.html Plagron is a guarantee in feeding your little ones, I have been using it for many years until recently I thought that basic fertilizers were enough to make the little ones grow then I put the Green Sensation and I completely changed my mind. https://plagron.com/en I have started a series of experiments using stimulating frequencies for plants, I am trying something from the next round we will use it fixed.

I was pleasantly surprised by the yield from these 2. Plant #1 (back left this grow) yielded a whopping 4.79 ounces, my 2nd biggest producer this grow! #2 yielded 3.57 ounces, which while the lowest of the 4, is still an extremely respectable yield for a single plant in a 4 plant tent! Especially one that received as little attention as this one did. #2 remained resilient the entire grow, however due to the placement of my tent received the least amount of attention/defoliation, which is consistent with its yield. #1 was more easily accessible, and while it did have cal mag & ph issues early on, still received significant defoliation and care, hence the larger yield. Overall very happy with this strain, I have 3 of these seeds on hand, so there’s a good chance you’ll see another Critical Orange Punch diary from me in the future! Thanks again to everyone for their comments, advice, and support! I’ll be starting a new grow/diary in a few weeks, so keep an eye out! Until then, happy growing!!

Hello:) This week was easy again, watered them twice, kept the tops under the net for a few more days and then I just let them grow. I also had to raise the wasabi again, it stopped stretching like a week ago. The sangrias are also developing nicely, they are almost done stretching now. I didnβ€˜t add any nutrients this week, a friend of mine who uses biotabs for years said I should be very careful with adding bio pk 5-8 because he had problems with over fertilizing even when using a very small dose. Since the leaves still look perfect, Iβ€˜ll wait a bit. Also the bugs are back, they seem to come in waves but nothing my sticky tape canβ€˜t handle:) Looking forward to next week, the wasabi is small but already starting to pack some nice buds:)

So she was chopped (wet trimmed) yesterday (F74) and is now hanging up to dry at 55% RH and temps between 15 and 18ΒΊc. I made fresh frozen dry ice hash today using a 160 micron bubble bag, a flat surface, 8kg of dry ice and a couple 5 gal buckets. I already have the weights for that, which far exceeded my expectations. Those figures I will post once she is dried and in 1 quart screw top glass jars. People suppose dry ice hash is inferior quality vs bubble hash. I am not experienced enough to comment on that but must say it is extremely easy to make hash with dry ice, it took 40 mins to process 995g of trim which included sugar leaves, some stems and popcorn buds. I then pressed it into 3.5g briquettes for storage using a pollen press. As you can see from videos, this stuff is all blonde - and after already trying some today with some friends, it knocked our boots off! Will be back in 5-7 days with harvest figures, smoke analysis and other details! Happy growing all! P.s I ticked defoliation this week - the only week I intentionally cut any leaves off for the entire grow πŸ˜‰

Week 6 of to a good start! They look happy and healthy. Time to flip to flower soon! πŸ‘½πŸ‘‰3/10 Climate is automated and working accordingly to my adjusted VPD settings. Happy and healthy, actually surprised they've grown so much lately. πŸ‘½πŸ‘‰4/10 Waiting for their complete recovery, so they can be flipped to flower (Defoliation the 30/9, im giving them about a week) πŸ‘½πŸ‘‰5/10 Water day* Plain ph balanced water. Need Runoff PH and EC down a little bit. πŸ‘½πŸ‘‰6/10 I applied the SCROG net. πŸ‘½πŸ‘‰7/10 Doing some minor tweaks to the setup + VPD settings(from 1.0 to 1.1). Approaching the flip to flower, so VPD Did a bit of defoliation before the flip next week πŸ‘½πŸ‘‰8/10 Today, i learned from research on biobizz nutrients https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/biobizz-nutrients-answers-from-biobizz.78899/ (Direct answer from biobizz) With the answers, my view on feeding biobizz changed a bit, and i was luckily about to switch up the nutes. Good timing. Waterday* PH6.2 Introducing Biobizz CalMag(0.5ml/l) + BioBloom(0.25ml/l)+Topmax(0.25ml/l)+Rootjuice(0.25ml/l) Still 2ml/L Fishmix+BioHeaven(Fishmix will be switched out with BioGrow) πŸ‘½πŸ‘‰ 9/10 Last day of the week for my plants and last day in veg! They look fantastic and well recovered at lights on! (Look at the before/after lights vids/pics) Raised VPD by 0.1: VPD settings(from 1.1 to 1.2)

This week has produced some decent growth, and I plan to begin some light LST on Blackberry Moonrocks here soon. The plant has taken very well to being topped, especially considering the short bushy structure of the plant. Here is what I did this week. 16.7.25: I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 containing; πŸ’œ 2ml Ecothrive Trace πŸ’œ 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.6 PPM: 340 19.7.25: I watered with 1.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 containing: πŸ’œ 1ml Ecothrive Trace PH: 6.5 PPM: 350 Thanks for checking in this week, and hanging out πŸ’š ✌️ πŸƒ 😊 🌱 πŸ’œ

Week 8: Embracing Ease and Precision with the Tent-X Controller As we enter Week 8 of our cultivation journey with Panty Punch Auto, the spotlight shines brightly on the remarkable performance of the Tent-X controller. With its intuitive navigation and user-friendly interface, the Tent-X has revolutionized our grow environment management, surpassing even the capabilities of its predecessor, the Hydro-X. This week's report delves into the seamless integration of the Tent-X controller, alongside close inspections of our thriving botanical beauty as she approaches the final stages of her growth cycle. The Tent-X controller has truly been a game-changer in our cultivation arsenal, offering unparalleled ease and convenience in environmental control. With its simple yet sophisticated design, navigating through the various settings and parameters has never been easier. From adjusting temperature and humidity levels to fine-tuning lighting schedules and CO2 concentrations, the Tent-X empowers us to create the optimal conditions for Panty Punch Auto's continued success with just a few clicks. Amidst the advanced technology at our fingertips, our diligent attention to detail remains a cornerstone of our cultivation philosophy. Close inspections of Panty Punch Auto reveal a plant that must surely think we're aliens, constantly hovering and examining her every leaf and bud. Yet, this meticulous approach is essential as she enters the final stretch of her growth cycle. Trichomes are gradually changing colors, signaling the onset of maturity, but we remain vigilant, ensuring she reaches her full potential before harvest. Panty Punch Auto stands as a true beauty, her branches adorned with glistening trichomes that resemble a blanket of snow. As we monitor her progress, the TM+ Pro app serves as our faithful companion, storing and organizing invaluable data for our analysis. From nutrient levels to environmental conditions, the app provides a comprehensive snapshot of our grow environment, allowing us to make informed decisions with ease.

D72 - This week's diary starts late since I was gone on a short trip. The girls didn't miss me though as they are simply doing their thing, and with the automatic drip system, I don't even have to worry about watering. The girls look amazing! The colas are huge with plenty of frost. I'm very chuffed with how this grow is turning out :) D73 - Gave each girl 1.25-liters of water @ pH 6.6, with 25ml EM-1. I'm fighting against temps and humidity since we have a heatwave with thunderstorms and plenty of rain. The average temp in the tent the last 24 hours was 31 degrees C (88F) and RH 63.5%, which is way high this late in flower. D74 - Yes! Our bad weather has moved on, and the humidity in the tent has dropped significantly to the mid-low 50s. Much better. Have to avoid that budrot! There isn't much to do in the tent now when everything is automated, so I spend more time observing and scouting the girls. I figured out that using my hyper-bright flashlight below the canopy is an excellent way to spot leaves that are yellowing from lack of light. I never thought of that before, but damn, it worked great and will now be a new tool in my arsenal. I removed the yellowing leaves and a couple of other fan leaves blocking bud sites. The rest of the leaves I tucked. Speaking of fan leaves, the stalks on the first girl are purple while they are green on the second. Another difference is that the first look frostier than the second girl. Not sure if that means that the second girl will take longer. One fan leaf on the first girl has a strange discoloration in the middle of a fan leaf, but I'm not overly concerned, considering it is only one leaf, and we're towards the end of the grow. Finally, and then I'll stop harping about fan leaves; one leaf tip on the second girl is turning purple. D76 - I had a first look at the trichomes. Clear/milky on both girls, with a random amber here and there on the second girl. Based on this, I guess chop day is at least a couple of weeks away. D77 - We have reached the end of the sixth week of flower, and everything is trucking along. It's mainly a waiting game at this point, waiting for the buds to fatten up and for the trichomes to mature. I ordered nematodes a few weeks ago and forgot to use them. I don't have a fungus gnat infestation, so it was only a preventative measure anyway. The nematodes were a couple of weeks past their use before date, so no idea if they are still viable, but I figured it is better to use them than throw them. I gave each girl 1.25-liters of nematode water @ pH 6.6, adding 25 ml of EM-1.
