Things did'nt go as planned. I decided to harvest her this week, she was 7weeks in to flowering and looked allready good. The forecast predicted some stormy weather for the next week and i did'nt want to take the risk to get her destroyed because of the weater or deseases. besides that she had 40% of orange growhairs and milky trichomes. If the weather was going to be better i would have let her life a week or 2 longer. update: We are one month after harvest the buds are dry and have been (or are still) curing. Its allready pretty smokeable! 'best homegrown I ever had' is a frequent comment when i let others taste the buds.

Veamos, cosas importantes en la semana. 1- Automaticas y sus caprichos. Te dan las indicaciones en los bancos semilleros que del d铆a de germinaci贸n al d铆a de cosecha, es X (pongamos 70 d铆as) y pese a que sea un referente de la duraci贸n del ciclo, las autom谩ticas por su gen茅tica ruderal, hacen la eclosi贸n de floraci贸n y ya he tenido casi todo, empezando por grows que han hecho floraci贸n en el d铆a 30 (en un ciclo previsto de 70) y en los 40 d铆as finales, cosas tan incre铆bles como floraci贸n m铆nima a menos de 4 semanas de la previsi贸n de cosecha y despu茅s, como que, literalmente "explotan" y forman cogollos impresionantes en 20 d铆as. 2- Otras por su parte, son muy lineares en sus procesos y es incluso, como si pese a su gen茅tica ruderal, pudieran tener influencia de exposici贸n luminosa (lo que no ocurre seguramente) y que pasa por los periodos puedan venir a ocurrir de modo muy seguro - un vegetativo para un ciclo total de 70 dias, por ejemplo, que tiene sus 30 d铆as ciertos y despu茅s una floraci贸n que va hasta el final de ciclo con crecimiento muy firme y en linea al tiempo de duraci贸n - los primeros pistilos, despu茅s el desarrollo de pistilos y hojas para estructura de calixes y despu茅s, engorda de cogollos con resinas y terpenos- pero todo ocurriendo de modo muy proporcional y sin "tirones" de golpe como os dije por ejemplo, en el t贸pico anterior. 3- Tambi茅n ya he tenido alg煤n que otro grow de autom谩tica, que casi no ha tenido expresi贸n vegetativa y despu茅s mientras crec铆a la floraci贸n, se produjo tambi茅n tir贸n vertical, casi como si el ciclo tuviera un vegetativo de principio a fin (y eso sin por ejemplo, agregarle en nutrici贸n de floraci贸n, tan solo un mililitro de nitr贸geno, en periodo supuestamente de floraci贸n). 4 - Conclusiones : Todav铆a para m铆 es complejo, entender la expresi贸n fenot铆pica de las autom谩ticas, pero para m铆 algo se vuelve sencillo de observar y concluir y que es la falta tremenda de estabilidad gen茅tica que muchas de las autom谩ticas (incluso las de los bancos semilleros "estrella" y que se gastan millonadas en marketing de ventas) y eso pasa, por qu茅 las reglas del juego para los bancos de semillas, es poner a cada medio a帽o, fotos para venta de cogollos a quien les llamo "cogollos hamburgueser铆a" pues en las fotos, los comes por colores y la gente tambi茅n y de manera muy atontada se pone en grows de muchas de las autom谩ticas que, hoy d铆a venden lo que considero tasas de THC t贸xicas, - para mi, una cepa con un THC del 16% y un buen entourage con otros canabin贸ides, es mejor y m谩s segura para la salud, que cosas que por ah铆 se "regalan" con tasas de THC muy por encima del 30% y a m铆 siempre me gust贸 que el humo, me sea placentero y que pueda desarrollar actividad, en vez de quedarme tumbado y en paranoia delirante. 4 - En los m谩s t茅cnico...semana de defoliaci贸n y defoliaci贸n muy a crit茅rio pues era muy notorio que por las reducidas dimensiones del 谩rea de los grows autom谩ticos , en las partes inferiores hab铆a una cantidad muy significativa de los que se designan "ramas vampiras" y de hojas fan que en estos momentos no m谩s que eran limitantes a los aportes de ox铆geno/di贸xido carb贸nico y concentraci贸n de humedad en el limite f铆sico del sustrato con la atmosfera. A los que est谩n empezando siempre daros la informaci贸n que solo hay que crear condiciones para que el tercio superior de las ramas pueda al final, convertirse en espacio de floraci贸n. Los tercios inferiores de los grows, deben pues estar limpios de ramas finas que no cogen luz 贸 hojas fan que por el mismo motivo solamente estorban y tienen implicaciones muy serias, en lo tocante a productividad final. Por lo cual, las "vampiras" hay que removerlas cuando las ramas donde est茅n insertas ya tengan grosor y resistencia para que las "vampiras" sean arrancadas sin por ejemplo haber secado de la rama. ESTE PROCEDIMIENTO EN INDOOR - RETIRADA DE RAMAS "VAMPIRAS" Y HOJAS FAN EN LIMITE BAJO DEL GROW- ES OBLIGATORIA CARA A OBTENER COGOLLOS DE GRAN CALIDAD Y TAMA脩O (y no confundir defoliaci贸n, con FIMming o con cortes apicales pues las autom谩ticas en regla se resienten tremendamente y pueden incluso "cargarse" con maniobras que impliquen alto estr茅s). 5 - En lo m谩s t茅cnico y por qu茅 no he sido a煤n muy espec铆fico en la forma de nutrici贸n con los nutrientes/aportes de Top Crop: * De lo que pod茅is ver en la nutrici贸n, cada uno de los nutrientes solo se usa una vez a la semana y hago en regla una tabla donde a cada d铆a preparo seg煤n el grow la soluci贸n. As铆 y por ejemplo; Lunes - Agua 1L (agua limpia) Martes - Big One 2ml/L Mi茅rcoles - Top Candy 2ml/L Jueves - 脕gua 1L (agua limpia) Viernes - Top Auto 3,5 ml/L S谩bado -Agua 1L (agua limpia) Domingo - Agua 1L (agua limpia) Lo de Top Crop en linea del control, se basa much铆simo en las tasas de PH y si la recomendaci贸n son tasas del 5,8-6,2, la experiencia me ha ense帽ando que si, esos son los l铆mites en vegetativo...pero en floraci贸n, yo mantengo el limite entre 6,4 -6,7 y para las autom谩ticas, empezar con m谩s de 6,2 y de empiezo de floraci贸n a fin de ciclo, el PH ideal es siempre m谩s de 6,6 y nunca sobrepasando el 6,8. Mucha atenci贸n por qu茅 cuando toque a darle: - cuatro veces en el total de ciclo de grow, el maravilloso Top Mass, por ser uno de los mejores aportes de silicio en el mercado y por su formulaci贸n que permite una absorci贸n del silicio de manera muy efectiva - tres veces en todo el ciclo del Barrier (tambi茅n silicio y aporte de amino谩cidos y quelatos base y muy efectivo para prevenci贸n de estr茅s de todos los tipos y de agresiones de plagas (como siempre preparo suelo con mycorrizas, trichoderma y bacterias de recaptaci贸n atmosf茅rica, no tengo memoria de alguna plaga que pueda haber tenido, desde que las mycorrizas y la trichoderma son puestos en el sustrato) - el CalMag, que por ele tipo de agua se incluye m谩s o menos veces. En regla y en lo que llevo de ciclo, tanto en autom谩ticas cuanto fotodependientes, solo he usado un par de veces. El CalMag cuando hagas uso de aguas blandas (con poca o ninguna mineralizaci贸n); cuando trabajes sobre todo con coco o otros sustratos en esta linea y con tendencia a gran porosidad y poca retenci贸n 贸 y ahora os explico el por qu茅 del uso esta semana, pues cuando por ejemplo, se hace una mayor inclusi贸n de tasas de PK (f贸sforo y potasio), el magnesio y c谩lcio del CalMag, mejoran el rendimiento de la "bomba" de captaci贸n del PK y la integraci贸n de la mayor cantidad posible de estos dos, es la diferencia entre cogollos bellos, gordos y resinosos 贸 media docena "vellos" acurrucados. - Hab茅is visto a igual que incluso con los nutrientes de Top Crop y su inductor de floraci贸n que es el Top Bloom, para m铆 hay cosas que no cambi贸 ni lo dejo a segundo plano y el Delta 9 de Cannabiogen es much铆simo m谩s que tan solo un inductor de floraci贸n m谩s. Es un producto de alt铆sima calidad, con una de las m谩s equilibradas composiciones alguna vez pensada y adem谩s una forma perfecta de compensar deficits, pues si formular de amino谩cidos, de az煤cares y de compensaci贸n de macro y micro elementos es inmejorable. A los que hab茅is ya trabajado y lo conoc茅is, sab茅is c贸mo se usa y en floraci贸n plena, nada de da帽o vendr谩, si en un periodo de un mes a cada diez dias por fertirrigaci贸n (en total tres veces) sac谩is de riego con Delta 9, vuestros grows. 6 - A lo largo de la semana : Temp. Maxima (per铆odo luces encendidas) : de 23 a 26潞C Temp. M铆nima (per铆odo luces desconectadas) : de 20 a 22潞C Variaciones Humedad Relativa : entre 68% y 89% Ratio CO2 ambiente : de 406 (min.) a 568 (max.) Y aqu铆 ten茅is lo m谩s destacado de la semana...que el Dios Jah nos proteja siempre de todos los peligros -en grow y fuera de el- 420 siempre y por el derecho al cultivo de recreaci贸n sin amago de ganancias y la Cannabis como producto de sustentabilidad; uso m茅dico y de recreaci贸n y uso positivo. Green Greets a todos los hermanos. Tom

Day 11. Week 2. Hello. I'm a little late with the report. I see growth, but slow. I think the soil was of poor quality. I added fertilizer to the water, after a day I saw improvements. You may need to water less. On the second video on April 15th. Share your experience. I will be glad.

Last week flush week Overall very pleased with the result did not have a bump in the road at all and she was very easy to grow and very forgiving when it came to her training The cup grow was a succes she stands only 13,5cm tall and from 1 tip of the mainbud to the other she is 30.6cm long and 21cm wide and packed with nugs and the smells fills up the entire growbox with a sweet bubblegumish smells like the pink bubbalicious chewing gum so nice so i only can imagon what complexity her taste is going to be like鉂わ笍鉂わ笍鉂わ笍鉂わ笍 So this week is going to be hell for her i鈥檓 going to split her completly tru to about 1.5 cm above the soil put toothpicks between her and bind her back together so the split stay open(about 1.5-2mm) so the flow is even more disrupted this tricks the girl into even more overproducing thc and flavours and she has to fight even harder in her last day鈥檚 for her survival and eventually begs for mercy馃枻馃枻馃槇馃槇馃枻馃枻 She is finishing up nicely her little nugs are packed with cristals

Semana tranquila. Algunas hojas inferiores se est谩n poniendo amarillas por falta de luz. Este cultivo decid铆 no quitar hojas y dejar que las plantas tuvieran el m铆nimo de estr茅s, por lo tanto las hojas inferiores no reciben luz. Las flores han aumentado bastante de tama帽o y ya comienza a oler bastante rico el cuarto. Est谩n consumiendo pr谩cticamente dos litros de l铆quido al d铆a. Buenos humos para todos!

Probably need to do some cleanup here soon. She's getting very bushy but I'm maintaining a level canopy, the outside shoots are catching up to the centers and I will let her grow about 6-8", clean up the bottom and flip to flower, maybe 2 to 3 weeks left in veg 1/1/23 - cleaned her up a lot, took out lots of shoots that will never see the top light and spread out the canopy. Very square shape.

Banana Kush Auto has been growing great under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 in the Athena blended line nutrition. I lollipopped the plant, then defoliation was done since she was super bushy. I proceeded to lst the stretching branches outwards. Her solution was also topped off with a good dose of nutrition. She is doing great at the moment.

Quit茅 la malla porque me costaba un mundo poder regar de manera correcta adem谩s de que el tallo central que sali贸 doble de una de las nenas estaba comenzando a doblarse por el peso, por ende tuve que entrar a amarrarlo a un tutor para poder tener la precauci贸n de que no se fuera a caer. El color y olor es maravilloso. Seguimos con este crecimiento ...

The plant has the classic structure, low and wide, both have the same characteristics only the vase changes the sample #A and larger, but it seems that this does not bother you at #B! it grows smoothly. I defoliated to allow more air and light ... they are at the beginning of the 5 week and they seem excellent!鈽猴笍

FEEDING Plant was given the same nutrient solution as previous week two times per day DIARY This week was probably the worst week of them all in terms of all the problems that happened. Everything started on Day 146 when strong winds were capable of knocking down my plant two times. Plant wasn't demaged but it is a scary experience to see your plant basicaly up side down. Because of strong winds I was forced to move the plant to the different location. While moving one of the dominant branches snapped. I addresed the issue by taping the crack together with tape and securing the branch to the support ring with a metal wire. It was a major damage with an easy fix. The night between days 146 and 147 was accompanied with strong winds and a lot rain. This combination of wind and rain resulted in damage (half of the plant just gave up and bended to the ground) that could be easily fixed just by installing trellis before the flowering started. To prevent the further bending and support the flowers when they start fattening, I wrapped the plant into plastic wire. This was not an easy job so help from a friend was a necessity. When the plant was wrapped I pulled the flowers through the netting and did some rearrannging. The problem with bending was solved, but I discovered some other problems when closely inspecting the buds. First problems were the seeds. Yes some seeds were found. This was probably my fault because I visited the hemp farm and brought home the pollen on my clothes that could produce the seeds. It could also be the fact that I am growing outdoor and the pollen came from copletely different source. Some seeds, while growing outdoors are just inevitble. There was one more thing. I was suspicious about brown tops of some buds. Because I was affraid of what it was, the brown, not so good looking flower was cut off and closely inspected. I was angry to discover the caterpillar. I did a search of all the buds and found one more rotting bud and cut it off. I suspect that they are still there. I will inspect the plant every two days to hopefully find them and prevent the further demage. WEATHER Days 141-145 This days were sunny with daily temperatures around 26 掳C. Night temperature were averaging at 15 掳C. Days 146-147 Last two days were harsh. It was cloudy with average temperatures at 14 掳C. Day 146 also had very strong winds. Day lenght this week has decreased to 12 hours and 10 minutes.

This week was the last week of veg., I will switch to 12/12 (light/darkness) in week 6. The two Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants are now 35 and 40 cm tall and have developed nice side-branches, which have grown upwards so they get enough light for good budding sites during flowering. The plants are still fed following the Advanced Nutrients schedule.

Fust Buds Originals Amnesia Haze 5th week of flowering completed 18th Jan 2020 Welcome back to my diary of the FBT02 plant aka amnesia haze. This is plant is developing a little slower than the others , but I put that down to the haze genetics and she will probably need a bit longer to mature than the others. Absolutely no worries there from me as I don't wanna rush her. Thanks for checking out my latest update for this week 馃檹
