I got new lighting from VIPARSPECTRA and type XS1000. I don't know what's going on with her 😢 I think it's spilled again, so I tried to put it in a dry coconut for 48 days. But I don't expect it to start growing anymore šŸ˜•.

Seemingly overnight, the A.K. plant overcame Sour Ripper in growth! Been a fun week as far as the plants go, havent needed to water them at all. Ill take a peak into the tent occasionally, witnessed the growth pick up exponentially this week. I noticed the pots are getting pretty light when i was taking these pictures. Will likely water them tomorrow. Notes for those interested: My last grow was RUINED from consistently overwatering and NEVER checking pH of feed water. Everything that could have went wrong as a result, did go wrong. Murphy's Law eh? Just trying to see to it that doesnt happen again. For those interested in the DWC girls, their growth has been nothing less than great šŸ‘. It was less than two weeks ago that i went to the local hydro shop to pick up some hydroguard and damn! Is that shit good or what?! Root rot has been stripped away in almost ALL of my DWC girls, tons of white, happy root growth in their place. Ive decided that i will flip them all either halfway through this week or monday of next. Going to mother both A.K. and S.R. 2-3 weeks into flower transition. Again, great job @RipperSeeds and @Nirvana, really loving this stuff.

Another week done. Not really much to report. The ladies are on cruise control. The buds are fattening up and starting to put on some serious weight. Should be a good harvest. PPFD is averaging 900. The ladies seem to enjoy it. Leaves are all in the praying position, which is a good sign that the girls have what they need. I have been using Plagron Green Sensation to support bud development. Thanks again to the sponsors Plagron and Zamnesia. See you next week. Happy growing.

23.11.2025 – BT19 Das Lollipopping und das Entlauben haben sie soweit gut überstanden. Die Buds wachsen wie verrückt und der Geruch nimmt stetig zu! Allerdings gibt es auch Probleme. Beim Gießen waren 3,5 L wohl doch zu wenig, sodass sich vermutlich Salze im Substrat angesammelt haben. Dadurch kam es zu einem NƤhrstoffbrand und einer NƤhrstoffblockade. Da ich bei der Clementine Slush bereits eine leichte Überdüngung an den Blattspitzen hatte, ist das Ganze natürlich besonders Ƥrgerlich. Beim Drain der Zoap Rose habe ich einen EC-Wert von 2,0–2,1 gemessen und bei der Apples & Oranges sogar 2,3–2,4, was selbstverstƤndlich viel zu hoch ist. Beide Pflanzen wurden anschließend nur mit Wasser (pH 6,2) und einer Zugabe von Cal/Mag gegossen – die Zoap Rose einmal und die Apples & Oranges zweimal.

Day 9 – After the Clouds, the Sun Returns Following a couple of cloudy, cooler days with unpredictable UK spring weather, today we’re back in business – full sunshine bathing the windowsill, and the seedling is clearly appreciating it. On day 9, she’s showing good upward momentum, with a healthy green tone and a nicely elongated, but not overly stretched, stem. The second set of serrated leaves is beginning to open up, and the seedling’s posture is strong and upright. This morning I gave her 1 litre of clean, pH-balanced tap water. No added nutrients – the organic super soil and Biobizz All Mix are handling that just fine for now. I’m keeping to my minimal-intervention philosophy: no boosters, no chasing perfection – just observation, clean inputs, and natural sunlight. Observations: Although the last 48 hours brought overcast skies and some temperature swings (unmeasured near the window), the seedling remained stable – no signs of droop or stress. Today’s sun is back in full force, with direct light from 07:00 to around 14:00, likely peaking again at ~1350 μmol/m²/s. Still no supplemental light or artificial environment. Everything remains natural and low-effort. Thoughts Moving Forward: It’s always interesting to see how a young autoflower responds to dips in light and ambient temperature – they don’t have time to waste, and yet this one seems to have taken the brief grey spell in stride. Looking ahead, if the weather holds steady, we should start to see noticeable structural development over the next few days. She’s holding up well. Calm, steady progress – just the way I like it. Day 11 – Holding Strong Indoors While the Outdoors Waits. Here we are on Day 11, and the little CBD Auto 20:1 continues to develop steadily on the sunny windowsill. The first set of true leaves is broadening nicely, and the new growth in the centre is coming in with good symmetry and colour. Stem strength is improving as well, holding the plant upright with no signs of stretching or leaning – exactly what I like to see at this stage. I’m continuing to water only with clean, pH-balanced tap water, no additives, no boosters. Just letting the super soil mix and Biobizz All Mix do their thing. This ā€œless is moreā€ approach seems to be paying off so far. Weather notes: The past few days have been moderately sunny, with occasional clouds, but the windowsill stays consistently warm – definitely warm enough to encourage strong vegetative growth. Outdoors, however, it’s a different story: cold air, unpredictable swings, and… snails. Lots of snails. This seedling wouldn’t last a night outside right now – she’d be a gourmet treat for any passing mollusc. For now, she stays safe behind glass, soaking up the sun from dawn until early afternoon (~07:00–14:00), and building up strength for the future move outdoors – once the weather is right and the risks are low. Final thoughts for today: There’s something satisfying about watching a seedling thrive under low-tech, natural conditions. No grow tents, no supplemental lights – just sunlight, soil, and simple attention. She’s doing well, and the coming week should bring the next round of leaf growth and even more structure. Slow, steady, and sun-fed – exactly how I imagined this grow would go. Day 14 – Two Weeks Strong & Natural Salty Signs Two weeks in, and the CBD Auto 20:1 is holding her own beautifully. After a slow and steady start on the windowsill, she’s now clearly entering a more active vegetative phase. The leaves are spreading wide, looking rich and healthy in colour, with that classic Fast Buds symmetry already taking shape. Stem structure is upright and solid, with no signs of stretching, which tells me she’s perfectly aligned with the available sunlight hours. Watering & Environment Update: She continues to receive pH-balanced, clean tap water only, and the pot remains well-drained and breathable thanks to the fabric construction. Today, I noticed white patches on the fabric pot – a common and harmless sign of mineral salt deposits. This occurs when moisture evaporates through the fabric, leaving behind minerals from the water (mainly calcium and magnesium). It’s cosmetic only and doesn’t affect the plant or roots in any negative way. Light Conditions: After a few low-light days earlier this week (we recorded a light intensity drop down to ~30 μmol/m²/s during heavy cloud cover), today brought back that sweet UK sunshine. The plant is once again receiving its reliable 07:00–14:00 window of direct sun, which we’ve measured previously around 1350 μmol/m²/s at peak – ideal for a low-input indoor approach. Final Thoughts: She’s looking compact, balanced, and ready to stretch. No signs of stress, deficiency, or pest issues – and I’m really enjoying observing how this plant responds to minimal intervention in a realistic environment. Not rushing anything, not chasing perfection – just letting nature and a well-prepped soil mix lead the way. Next week should be an exciting one!

I’ll start by saying I’m NOT using both bud blood and bud ignitor in one solution, I am using bud blood on the rear wedding gelato plant and bud ignitor on the front one to test the outcome of them individually to see the best results! I tied down and defoliated twice in the week and have switched to 12-12 yesterday so they’re transitioning now and should be in bloom by week 7! I made some extract them made some gummies successfully I might add and added the photos in the diary!

Hello Growmies, Two weeks into vegetation, our Watermelon Candy by Zamnesia is striking a fine figure in the grow tent. Each plant has achieved a notable height of 14 cm, an impressive feat for their age, suggesting that they are well on their way to becoming vigorous and bushy specimens. The uniformity observed in the first week continues to be a defining trait of the Watermelon Candy strain. These plants, with their symmetrical leaf structure and consistent growth patterns, are reflecting their strong genetic lineage. The lush green leaves and the tautness of the stems speak volumes about the care they've received. Their transplant into the 12.5-liter air-pots, coupled with the application of Great White during the process, has provided them with a fertile foundation for root development. This mycorrhizal support will surely bolster their ability to uptake water and nutrients efficiently, setting them up for success in the coming weeks. The controlled environment, with precise management of temperature and humidity, continues to foster their growth. With the lights dimmed to 25% and delivering 150-180 PPFD, the plants are receiving the perfect amount of energy to thrive without the stress of overexposure. The IR lighting before lights on and off, along with the midday UV light exposure, is fine-tuning their growth cycles and boosting their natural defenses. Once the inline fan is connected and operational, you'll have complete control over the tent's environment, enhancing dehumidification during the night and ensuring optimal conditions 24/7. It's this attention to detail and environment that is paving the way for these Watermelon Candy plants to flourish. Stay lifted, Salokin.

Fue una cepa muy linda de cultivar, con un buen resutlado final, cogollos equilibrados, al haber 4 plantas se presentaron distintos fenetipos en cuanto a colores, una con aroma mas dulce que otra pero ambas bien logradas, estoy conforme con el tamaƱo, quizas en una carpa de 1c1 se hubiese trabajado mas comodo pero al haberlo hecho en un 80x80 logre coparla al 100%.

This little girl started her journey on April 4th with germination into a water glass and finished up on June 27/20 – Day 78 from germination. She was a fun grow and was very resilient through the whole run. She spent most of her grow time in a 20/4 light schedule. She formed nice frost levels and stayed to a very nice and manageable height of roughly 20ā€ tall without topping or bending her main stem. She was not as fussy about nutrient levels and took them well. She does like her medium on the dryer side though. Small little auto bush of OG Kush crossed with Indica genes😃 She would make a nice a plant to run while you are vegging out some photos for 6 or 8 weeks as she is not very big in size but will swell up and yield decent weightšŸ‘ She was grown in a 3 gallon fabric pot with coco coir and maybe 15% perlite. She was fed salt based nutrients……..so sorry but they are flushed out and that is what I am more comfortable with. Focus on the early growth with microbes, fungi and kelp!! She was fed the normal pattern with pH being held around the 5.4 to 5.8 range in feeding. Then as flower approached, I gave the pots a more consistent look at the runoff numbers and she was running 7.8pH coming out of her!!!!! WTF. She stayed in her pot that she was planted in and fought this issue all through the rest of her grow. The pH issues started surfacing around week 3….as we headed into flower of course. Scratching my head for weeks, I ultimately didn’t change anything other than really low pH feeding going in…….below 4 idea. For weeks she had 3.9 water going in and still getting 7.8 running off. I initially felt it was related to cheap fabric bags so I cut slits in the very bottom of the bags that stayed and tried transplanting other girls into plastic pots, which it can be fabric pot issues but I am not as convinced anymore for this run that there was an issue there, wasn’t sure about giving her Magnesium on top of Magnesium and therefore did I mess her up good on the inside early on in week 2 idea, out of options I changed back to RO water and that seems to have solved my issues……I was using tap water that was not filtered this run🤬 The pH was high so that was adjusted but with the ppm being at 185 to 200 range I chose not to buy a filter and just dechlorinated the water only. I was tired of lugging 5 gallon water bottles in and out of the basement😃 That is a difference from all other grows…..silly for not catching this by week 4! So…….back to lugging bottles in and out of the basementšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ She really started to take shape around weeks 7 and 8 and formed a beautiful little cannabis plant and grew to 20ā€ tall and roughly 18ā€ wide. Main focus with her was to just perform LST on side branches and let the top go…….I wanted to just let her go and see what would happen to her main cola for size and height……plus I don’t do that…….I always bend over the tops on my grows so this was a little different for myself. She grew very nice leaves and a lot of them. This pheno had a lot of leaves to her and that is fine……its not really my first choice in characteristics of a plant though..…..so much more work at trim time……Green Poison XL Auto, SWS71, was a dream to trimšŸ‘ as a comparison!! She didn’t fox tail very much she firmed up her buds towards the end. The resin production was a little slower coming out in her but by week 7/8 she was getting pretty impressivešŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹ White and sticky!! She smelt of woods with citrus notes…..works for mešŸ‘Œ There were no issues at all retaliated to pests or bugs……I threw in a couple sticky traps but there weren’t any to catch. She handled the high humidity in this run great and there were no signs of any powdery mildewšŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ She is a very stable strain from Sweet Seeds! Day 63 was last feeding, flushed for almost two weeks. Rezin and Liquid Weight still given for one of the weeks but the last week was plane water. In hind-site I think I should have hit her with some Flawless Finish to help get that last bit out of her. She did feed on most of her nutrients but some of the lower leaves were still more green that I would have liked. She was cut down on day 77…..11 weeks is about what I suspect looking at her in week 7…….this was roughly 8 weeks flower time……makes sense😃 She grew for 75 days and then I decided what the heck…….she needs a hole in her stem to stress her out😃 I didn’t try breaking a branch but rather drilled a hold into the base of her stem……something new to try out. I think I will try more holes next time….max 3 I think……then I want to run a couple with cracking their stems and see if there is a differencešŸ‘ I feel more in control of a drill and its accuracy vs bending branches and they snap where they want to…….anyway it was worth a try!!!! Worst case, it made it easy to hang her as a whole plant to dry😃 This girl battled pH issues all her life and as a result the buds were not where I would have liked them. There were not fluffy…..but here were not as hard as I would like for rolling joints, so the whole girl went to concentrates She dried for 7 day as a whole plant, 2 days more in smaller branches, then 1 day curing in jars before dry ice sift. She yielded 74g of dry cured buds, 2.65 ounces. Not bad…..I don’t think her buds would have gotten a lot bigger but they certainly would have had more weight if they firmed up…..grower issue, not genetics. So…..lets make some rosin from this girl🤩 The yields on this and making her hash a perfect colour are not what this process is about…..let’s get that out of the way right away……this is about another way to enjoy and consume my cannabis for my own relaxation and medicinal needs. Taking pictures of rosin is always a challenge…..it is always dark in the pictures unless you are using a nice DSLR to let more light in. Rather than making bubble hash with water, I just used the bags to make a dry ice kief from the buds. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a block of dry ice and had to use these cubes…….don’t like these as much because there are too many surfaces beating your green plant material and your kief goes green before long when shaking. Could have done it with out ice all together…..nicer hash but lots left on the plant afterwards that way so yield is low. Used two bags in this extraction, the 220 as the bag for edibles and the 120 as the bag for pressing rosin to smoke…..dry ice hash rosin!! The yield on this from the 74g of bud was 22.4g kief. 220 bag was 12.6g and the 120 bag was 9.8g. Not great I guess but I didn’t want to keep going for 4 and 5 minutes with the bags…..these were roughly 2 minutes with the 220 being 3 minutes on the high side. You can certainly see that the 120 product is more golden in colour than the 220 but since I didn’t crazy, the 220 is still a very nice colour. Last step on this journey was then to take the kief and make our rosin. I pressed product using 37um bags with the temp set at 160 degrees. All were done the same for the most part……roughly 4 gram presses, the same temperature, and the time. The first presses were 90 to 120 seconds. If a second press was done on the pouch, then it was at the same temp but for only 40 to 50 seconds. The yield on this was just shy of 7 grams…….6.77g…..roughly 30% yield from Kief???,…..roughly 9.2% from flower???…….would have likely done better right from floweršŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‚ it was fun, regardless of the yield😃 Tasty rosin!!!! Can’t beat rosin for getting the true tastes of the plants. These numbers are absolutely due to my abilities with extraction.......sure don’t judge the genetics based on my returns......she is a frosty plant and will give great returns!!!šŸ‘šŸ‘ Several pictures show that, I hope!! So that will wrap up this diary for Sweet Seeds Killer Kush Auto, SWS56. Certainly give this girl some consideration if you like OG Kush and also have space concerns in your grow. She is beautiful frosty little girl with a punch. Certainly get the usual woody and citrus notes from her rosin and she has a lasting high. She helps to get get you going and willing to finally start cleaning that corner of the room you have been avoiding…….watch out though…..distractionsšŸ˜ƒā€¦ā€¦next thing you know 40 minutes go by and you are staring at a box of DVD’s wondering what happened to CD’s…….cassette tapes (the art of the ā€œmix tapeā€), 8 tracks, vinyl……ALBUM COVER ART Baby!!!!!! Then its either back for another rip, or get your crap done because the next rip leads into even less work getting done😃😃 Great job as usual @Sweet_Seeds !!! Looking forward to the next one……Cream 47 photoperiod……actually, already done germination and a new diary comingšŸ‘šŸ‘ā€¦..compare a 3 gal pot to a 5 gal pot, or a fabric vs air pot, and see what my yield differences are?? Thanks for the read and greatly appreciate the comments Growmies!!!!! Love spending time on a forum for growers to help fellow growers. Much grower love and thanks again for your time, opinions, and suggestionsšŸ™šŸ™šŸ™ Cheers!!

A it late with the update as I broke my phone,. To say it was my 1st harvest was very pleased with the outcome, 38grams dry of mostly tight nugs, trichomes on the main colas were turning Amber so cut those down couple of days earlier and left lower nugs to develop a bit more. Cured for 2 weeks now and buds smelling and smoking great, smooth taste and full of flavour! Next crop been planted very soon.

420 Fastbuds Week 2 Amnesia Zkittlez Auto This has been a good week. One has really taken off on growth. The other is a but smaller but I think it is due to spouting upside down and having to be fixed. All in all both are super healthy with no signs of issues. Will keep up the same schedule we're on at the moment it seems to be working out good and plants seem to enjoy the environment. Happy Growing everyone

All in all this grow was super easy. I couldve done some things to make it better but she pretty much did all the work. This strain would be perfect for a SOG style grow because it produces mostly a singular main cola nug that's pretty huge and then the bottom nugs themselves are also decently chunky. 4/22 chopped the lower half the plant. Wet it weighs 50grams. Still have the main cola in a dark room for another day or so before im gonna chop. 4/26 bottom half of plant dried in 4 days. 5/2 top cola dried in 5 days. Total weight is less than 20 grams at 19.4 5/12. Ten days of cure and shes looking even better. Spongey thick nugs. Dark red almost brown Pistils with pyramid shaped nugs. I also wanted to not how fast and easy this grow actually was. She has so much amber I probably couldve chopped her 2 weeks previous. 3 weeks veg and 5 weeks flowering and some would chop. Review. Growing 9/10 for ease of growth Super fast and simple. You can Fuck up and get fat buds lol High: 9/10 super stoney. No paranoia Yield:8/10 plant a super short. Like less than a foot. Can probably yield around a zip roughly Bag appeal: 7/10after cure buds look good. Before harvest buds look fantastic as well

Another amazing week, stretch is starting to slow down so the stacking begins and I'm pretty happy with how big the buds are considering the set up I'm currently running. Excited to see what happens next! At the start of week 4, I opened my tent to see one of my girls (Watermelon Zkittelz) had fallen over and was on the floor laying against the tent wall. Soil was everywhere and when I picked her up I noticed a few broken branches 😫 what upsets me, I have no idea how long she was on her side broken like this. So I wasted no time, I didn't have any time to waste, and so I taped her up as fast as I could. Cleaned the tent and then tried figuring out how this happened. I'm thinking it was the platform I had her on, along with her being super top heavy maybe? I didn't think she would be so top heavy yet but I think it's the mixture of those two things. Anyway, at the end of the day, she's doing fairly well considering. The branches I taped have responded well so far. We shall see if it holds up! I had another branch off the same plant break in half and I taped her immediately and she seemed to recover fast. She's very resilient! I just realized I was promoted to Aprentice from Newbie!! I hope breaking branches doesn't make me a newbie again 🤣 Cheers to that!! Thank you fam! For the nutrients, this week I added the lovely Aloe Vera Juice I make from my Aloe Vera plant. I also added more of Organic Barley Grass powder I made from Organic Alka Green powder. I used this on one of plants during vegetative stage and she loved it so I've been adding this to my feeding schedule every other week and they girls are loving it so much! So many amazing nutrients are in these tabs. The only reason I decided to use them and expierment was because I was on a very tight budget, still am but anyway I looked in my cabinet for any organic nutrients I could potentially use with my cannabis plants. To my suprise it's worked out amazing!!

Hello. This is the end of week 10 and the beginning of week 11 of veg. Things are going good in here... It will be another couple of weeks before I flip to flowering. The plants are training well and growing good... No problem with pests. Yeah... doing good. Ok. Be Cool. Chuck.
