I am now flushing her with plain Brita filtered water PH'd with lime juice to lower her PH. I initially first flushed her with 42L of water and now I am flushing her once a day for 8 days and then I will put her in for darkness for 3 days and then I will harvest her and dry her for 9 days and then cure her for 28-48 days.

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

😴This week has not been full of events. After severe defoliation and transfer to flowering, the plant gradually came to its senses, overgrown with foliage and grew by 3 floors. It still eats well, there are no visible problems. 👉Solution: Water 170ppm, 8l Silicon 4 ml CalMag 2 ml Micro 7, Gro 7, Bloom 5.25 pH Down 5.5 ml Total 753, 5.6 🙌The plant quickly absorbs nutrients at the time of pre-flowering, so the amount of substances in the solution quickly dropped from 730 to 600 ppm, I added back to 750, next time to 800, and finally reached 900 ppm in the week. I really like the intensity of the absorption of substances, it promotes active growth and mass gain, which is what I need!

Seedsman Seeds Germination Report - Run 01: The White OG Journey Kickoff to Germination: The Start of Something Great! Welcome to the beginning of this adventure with The White OG feminized seeds from Seedsman Seeds. Excitement is in the air as we’re searching for strong, resilient plants, and this journey has all the best tools and tips. Starting with five seeds, we’re aiming for a solid beginning and maximum potential. Let’s explore every step in detail to make this grow as robust as it can be! Germination Process: Tools of the Trade TheCannaKan: The Ultimate Germination Gadget I’m thrilled to share my love for TheCannaKan, a little germination wonder! This tool is essential for any grower who wants to start their seeds with precision and care. I noticed rapid results in just 24 hours, with the seeds showing signs of life. At about 32 hours, I transferred them to the Root Riots, which brings us to the next exciting stage. Why I Love TheCannaKan: • Quick Results: Seeds sprouted rapidly, minimizing wait time. • Consistency: Keeps moisture levels optimal for uniform germination. • User-Friendly: Simple yet effective for both new and experienced growers. Root Riots and Their Role in Root Development After sprouting, I placed the seedlings into Root Riot cubes under a dome. Root Riots are fantastic for stabilizing young plants, providing an airy and nutrient-friendly environment that promotes robust root growth from the start. Benefits of Root Riots: • Root Aeration: Soft yet structured, these cubes support root expansion. • Moisture Retention: Holds just the right amount of water for growing seedlings. • Enhanced Root Health: The cubes are ideal for preventing damping-off and ensuring healthy, white roots. Nutrients to Kickstart Growth: Aptus Holland Regulator and Startbooster To give the seedlings a perfect start, I added Aptus Holland’s Regulator and Startbooster (1ml/L each). This mix promotes early root and stem strength, giving seedlings the ability to absorb light and nutrients more efficiently. • Aptus Regulator: Enhances plant resilience, aids in nutrient absorption, and promotes early vitality. • Aptus Startbooster: Adds a balanced mix of growth hormones and nutrients that are ideal for the early stages, encouraging healthy roots and faster seedling growth. Light and Environment: Future of Grow FOG LED with TrolMaster Tent X Controller I’m using a Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 600W, but keeping it dimmed down to around 200 PPFD. This setting is controlled by the TrolMaster Tent X Controller to give the plants the perfect start without overwhelming them with intense light. Controlled lighting helps seedlings to develop without stress, encouraging healthy growth and internode spacing. Shoutouts: • Future of Grow LED: High-quality, efficient LED light that adapts well to seedling and veg stages. • TrolMaster Tent X Controller: Reliable and intuitive control over light, humidity, and more. Perfect for a hands-off, efficient environment setup. Observations: One Seedling Takes the Lead At the end of this germination stage, it looks like one seedling has emerged as the strongest, while the others may need a few more days. Patience and observation are key; some seeds naturally take a bit more time to sprout. I’ll keep monitoring these with hope, allowing each seedling its own rhythm. Grower’s Notes and Tips • Consistency Matters: Germination is all about steady conditions—consistent moisture, gentle nutrients, and stable lighting make all the difference. • Document Everything: Keeping a log of each step (like this one!) helps track growth patterns and provides valuable insights for future grows. • Stay Positive and Patient: Not every seed will sprout at the same rate. Trust the process and remember each plant is unique. Community Shoutouts Thank you to everyone who makes this process smoother and inspiring—TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Future of Grow, and Seedsman Seeds for amazing genetics and tools, as well as the growers’ community who share insights, tips, and encouragement along the way. Next Steps Now that we’re through germination, we’ll move into the early growth phase. I’ll keep documenting the lighting adjustments, nutrient changes, and growth patterns of each plant, especially that eager seedling leading the way! Growers Love, and here’s to a strong start for the future of this grow! 🌱 DISCOUNT CODE - SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏

Original Sensible Seeds Wedding Cake Auto LED 180 Coco 2 gallon fabric pot Advanced Nutrients House and Garden Botanicare Week 14 Hi guys/gals, so this will be the final week before flushy flushy. Trichomes are almost cloudy. The smell is pungent as she ripens. Bulked up this week and the hairs are darkening brown. I don't see any fade but as soon as those trichomes hit 10-20% amber, that's a wrap for this lady. Overall a nice strain to grow from Original Sensible Seeds. Genetics are strong with vigorous growth and she took very well to topping. The only real problem that I faced was that I ran out of the ph down that I use so I picked up some Root Farm ph down which I don't recommend using because the ppm was 980 with just water. I calibrated my meter and the reading was 978 ppm. I'm not sure if this is straight acid or piss in a bottle but wtf? Well a grower pointed out nute burn so I then checked the ppm and wowsers it was over 3000 ppm. Quickly rectified with a flush and back in business with Root Farm no more lol yeah I got complacent down the stretch not checking the runoff but lesson learned. So thanks for browsing my diary and all the support from this fantastic platform. As always Stalks Strong. Keep em popping 🇨🇦😏🤜👊🙏

Incredibili gli odori di questa gorilla punch, non si notano le leggere sfumature viola che invece erano più visibili con le foto di notte fatte in precedenza. Super colla anche per lei è cime belle e compatte, anche se nel complesso non è tanta per la quantità, ma la qualità è superiore. Grazie fast buds, a presto per altre foto e ulteriori aggiornamenti amici miei!

I chopped it down today, which is day 74 from sprout. The trichomes were looking partly amber/purple and all cloudy. The smell is pretty overwhelming of berries and cream. It's a unique smell and I can't say I've smelled another cannabis plant similar to this. This was technically my first full completion in my all new setup, so I expected it wouldn't be perfect. The pictures speak for the genetics itself, but there were some funky things this plants did, and I have a 2nd blackberry plant from the same batch of seeds that's doing the same oddities, so not sure I'm 100% sold on autoflowers. At the end of the day, I'm happy with my choice and happy I didn't kill the plant! LOL I don't think it's going to be more than an ounce or 2, but I'll report back when it's dried and weighed. 😀

Bubble gum auto is my jam! She has very sweet smelling, dense, thick buds! Should be wrapping it up in the next two weeks! Weather has been crazy hot, dry, humid, rain, etx—- this lady is taking it! Placed some wood shavings over the soils to help keep some moisture in…. The heat has been drying out the plant very quickly. ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

Had another major defoliation this week to uncover more flowering sites and to help lower the humidity, given a top dress of bat guano too and upped some of the nutrients. Still have more shades of green in there than I would like, as said before all clones from the same mother.. all photos taken day 25 of flower

Just focusing on the zkittles now,.. she is focusing on fattening up, not gone any taller this week, I noticed a bit of yellowing around some edges of the leaves, I've added a bit of calmag to this week's feed, and last week I did a somewhat diluted version of biobizzes feed chart,.. any advice on how you guys think she's looking would be appreciated,.. roll on next week 👌 ** update ** 28th, I've started flushing now after abit of advice planning on a 2 week flush that takes her to 77 days which is what fast buds say on there site is top end for this zkittles auto,... ** update update ** after speaking with fastbuds they think there is 3-4 weeks left here so I've added bloom, topmax, heaven and acti Vera back to the feed 🤦‍♂️
