What a smell coming off these babies in veg. Had to turn fan on with filter. Stinking up my house without it. Plants are doing great with scheduled auto water and now lights being at 18 inches at 70w. Didn't realize how intense these lights were. Still short and stalky but starting to stretch now. Showing minimal pistills in 2 of 4 plants. Will start flowering in week 6 Runoff till about 20%. 1500EC in reservoir. Runoff is around that range so all is good. Topped 3 out of 4 plants this week. Was just going to bend main stalk but not much room to do so.

Day 79: Second Grow We've decided against using additional nutrients and have completely stopped fertilizing. The light cycle has been reduced to 11 hours, and we're already starting to give them cooler water. Starting Monday, I will be watering with ice water to stress the plants further, aiming for higher yield, more terpenes, and increased frost. The adjustment to the light cycle should also help the plants ripen evenly. The lights are hanging about 20 cm above the buds, which are getting thicker every day, soaking up the light intensely. In about a week, most of the plants should be ready for harvest. We plan to stop watering them for about 100 hours before harvest. During this period, I'll place ice cubes on the soil to shock the roots one last time. 48 hours before harvest, I will turn off the lights, giving the plants two days of darkness. After this period, the plants will be cut and hung to dry.

I started germination of 3 Amnesiac beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their home. Cant wait! Some background information on my first run with Amnesiac. She was super powerful straight out the gate. Hammering off quite the amount of veg growth in 6 weeks. She was a little stingy on nitrogen and really wanted s slightly decreased dose from my norm but nothing to extreme. She was the tallest in the room going into flower and she was quite the stretcher. She gained about 250% size after the first 2 weeks of bloom. Leading to me supercropping her at that point. She didnt mind the hst one bit! Was back to growing and turning her bud sites up withing about 12 hours. She resulted in a great quantity of high quality flowers. Very fat chunky colas just coated in trichomes. Looking to knock her out of the park even further this time around!

Day 98 😇 10% amber thricomes, bubble hash with lower side of the plants, I will show you also buds pics in harvest week. Time to dismantle the two growboxes and enjoy spring and summer 👋😎🌞

She is getting fat! What a great plant she is - again, little to no deficiencies, other than some light burn but I could not complain to have such strong genetics for my first ever grow! Trichomes are not too cloudy, so still a while to go but what an AUTO!

Day30-45 Timelapse!

This is the second week of flowering for this tree I took an aerial view video to show the tops

10-21 - Dropping my new run today!!!! 4 seeds, and one of em is FEM 9 by Fast Buds! So excited to FINALLY start FEM 9....what she will become, we'll find out!!! - Dropped her into water this morning at 7am. 10-23 - Tail showed up this morning! Woohoo! - Put her into a puck this evening with a bit of myco. 10-24 - I can just see her stem on the surface of the puck, guess her shell is sill under. She's trying!!! - Prepared her pot today. Using a 3 gal fabric pot with Promix Coco, no pearlite this time, just straight coco. Fully prewet the coco with a light feed mix of 1.75ml/gal cal mag, 1.75ml/gal Coco A, and 1.75ml Coco B. PPm 270 with a ph of 5.8. - Also using new nutrients this run. Using Plagrons coco A and B. Very excited for this! I love coco, and Plagrons Tera was just a bit much for them in coco, at least i thought so. Will plant into the pot tomorrow! Will start Day 1 tomorrow. **Yes, I am so excited to start her, it's been a longer wait than I anticipated. I don't know what she's going to be like at all, but that's part of the fun! I chose the smallest seed in the pack to germinate...idk why, i do thins like that...which is probably why she took the longest to stand up all the way, but only like an hour or 2 behind lol. And as always, Chat Gpt will be helping me out in this grow...where do you think i get my numbers from, i'm not looking up a feed schedule lol. That's what Chat Gpt is for lol. Cats are being kept at a safe distance for the time being....better safe than sorry. LOL, although, I don't think I could ever actually be mad at a cat! And, just in case anyone notices...which im sure they wont...i made my own account on here. Guess I will still update that one until it's finished unless there is a way to just copy that diary and paste it over here...other than the typing i mean.

Start of the new week, some good growth seen.. can't complain, strong vigorous growth in a short space of time. Can't wait to see how quick she grows over the next couple days. Stay tuned. Day 26 - very quick growth from this one, in two minds about letting her go a bit longer in veg, or to flip to 12/12 at the end of week 4. So far so good. Day 27 - so far doing super good. Im due to flip as i cant wait anymore with the other girls needing to be flipped. But i shall see how she does, no doubt ill be running her again. Stay tuned.

Another week for this SOG of Auto's from our friends fastbuds, at the moment they are doing great, i do notice that some genetics required less food than others (they all got the same amount but some showed signs of N toxicity last weeks) At the moment we noticed the stretch and we needed to put the lamp higher, we are growing with a TS1000 at the moment and things are looking good 😊

Seeds were inside a glass of water for 2 days and then in a paper towel until they were long enough to be planted in soil. The soil is a light soil, I think is Top Crop. I added a little of mycorrhyzal fungi to the light soil with another little of trichoderma powder and diatomaceus earth. I also added some well cocco coir and that was it. With this gentle mix the medium of this babies will be just fine. In the first irrigation I'll add a bit of molasses like top candy to feed our micro friends and a root stimulator like top deeper.

Day 36: I bend the branches even more, cut off the top leaf that covered 2 buds, one of them is very small, I hope to give it at least a little chance to grow. This is a victim of a broken branch.

She’s tripled in size and doesn't seems to have stopped stretching yet. I had to zoom my camera out to get her photo. Moved lights up again and she’s back to being 6” under. Up they go again. Lots of nice pistils growing all over. She’s getting thirstier too, upped feeding to 2 litres a day to produce 10% run off (2 watering a day in total). I’m going to defoliate a bit this week. The last photo is of 4 of her clones, suppercropped in solo cups, growing at 90 degree angles 12/12 on a little shelf.

These girls are in the same room as my photos that I have just flipped. The Strawberry Cheesecake has started flowering and there are three more about 10 days behind her, with a couple of new ones just hitting the three week mark. I started too many at one time, so we will see what happens. Trial by fire!

Switched from 24/0 to 12/12 at the end of day 14, also switched the 730nm Led's on. Its been 7 days the plants have started growing a lot faster but there's still no pistils showing. I started feeding biobizz grow @ 2ml/l At the moment there getting watered every 3-4 days. The light is showing 25000lux on a lux meter app.

Here's some pictures of late week 1 into week 2. They are still all in their solo cups. In the future, we'll try to label them in the soil so the pictures will show which seed is which. For now, the names are written on the sides of each cup - just can't see that from the pics. TOTAL = 6 cups, all different seeds. Here's the list of seeds that have remained since we started: - Rubber Match by Secret Society Seed Co (regular seed)* x1 (down from 2) status: first seed just didn't pop and never started growing. 2nd seed is doing fine. :) - Something Good by Twenty20 Mendocino (feminized) x1 status: doing fine. - Acapulco Gold by Barney's Farm (feminized) x1 status: doing fine. - Purple Lemonade by FastBuds (Auto) x1 status: doing fine. - Skywalker by NASC (feminized) x1 status: doing fine. - ADDED: Glue Sniffer by Twenty20 Mendocino (feminized) x1 status: started 1x Glue Sniffer, and it is doing fine. (germination week 1 in paper towel) BONUS!!! We found some more NASC freebies!! We have 3x of the Blueberry Cupcake x MAC1 by Humboldt pheno and Girl Scout Cookies (feminized) by NASC. So, we might start one of those if space permits. To conclude week1, the current sprouts are growing in their cups. They are all looking comfortable and are reaching for the wonderful, southern sunlight. We're looking forward to the next weeks of vegetation and eventually transferring them into larger pots in a few more weeks time - all while we wait for some more warmer days ahead. One thing we noticed is that they seem to do much of their growing overnight! But maybe it's because we aren't looking at them as much LOL
