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 20” 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 weight👍 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 basement😂😂😂 She really started to take shape around weeks 7 and 8 and formed a beautiful little cannabis plant and grew to 20” tall and roughly 18” 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 trim👍 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 impressive😋😋😋 White and sticky!! She smelt of woods with citrus notes…..works for me👌 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 mildew👍👍👍 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 difference👍 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 flower😂 😂 😂 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!!!👍👍 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…..distractions😃……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 “mix tape”), 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 coming👍👍…..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 suggestions🙏🙏🙏 Cheers!!

This week went well. They stretched a bit when I still had them under the small lights after germinating while I was still sterilizing the big grow room. Didn't give any nutrients yet, but slightly introduced some root stimulant. I tried to support the stretched seedlings a bit with a wire as shown in the pics. Will update soon!

This week I’ve decided to defoliate a bit, I just hope she doesn’t die bcs of it. Had to get rid of some yellowing bottom leaves as well as big, sun blocking fan leaves! Cloudy weather all week but coming week some nice sunny days are expected again! She has a nice pungent fruity smell which make me wonder if she isn’t the Sweet Tooth haha.

25 days in to flowering. The garden is still looking very good and healthy.

She is in her 2 litre airpot for a few weeks.

My little cherry bonsai becomes denser and the resin glands glisten across the entire flowers. Under the spotlight, the lady shows how she can glitter. I'm very happy that the first side branch, getting thicker and thicker. Day 65 Photoshooting

Esta semana tocó defoliar. Una defoliacion bastante agresiva y dejando solo brotes que tienen cierto potencial, ya lleva unos 40x40 cm cubiertos

In the end I’m very happy how this first Grow went. Tomorrow I’m gonna finish the other half and update some pictures. Curing begins now, can’t wait to smell and taste the full cured terpens! 😋🌱

Genética muy estable, floración rápida, hermoso color y bastante generosa 💚❤️

Day 48. They look very nice for such pitty UK summer. Days are in low 20, nights as low as 11.... constant rain .... Happy with that strain a lot !!! Copes through everything without any issues. #1 lost one set of bottom branches , #2 and #3 lost two sets each. They needed good clearing. Cleared all garden from fresh grow, aerated soil, put slug pellets and thats it. Came late so leaves are droopy. Will visit in two weeks to top up with PK boost. Happy Growing !!!

So die Cherry pie brauch noch ein wenig zeit bist sie fertig ist. Ich bin aber sehr zufrieden mit dem Grow bisher. Die Northern Lights hängt zum trocknen.

LAS BABYS VAN SE VAN ESTIRANDO Y SE EMPIEZAN A FORMAR LOS COGOLLITOS!

*******Week 5 - January 6 to 12, 2020 She entered flower this week. First 2/3s were transition and she was finicky at this time.....still is at the end of the week.....or at minimum certainly not on an autopilot at this point. No issues of anything but for IPM, Friday she was sprayed with Plant Therapy by Lost Coast. Mixed at 2ml/L. Done at lights out but was a little slow and ended up spraying about 20 minutes after lights out. Things seemed fine and she had great growth over Saturday night. The first part of the week the growth was not as vertical. By the end of the week she had shot up. Finally feel comfortable removing some leaves now and there was a slight defoliation this week. Now should have a good form to her with four tops competing for the “top spot”......no FIM either........LST works👋. Expect to see more vertical growth this week. She was 16” tall and 24” wide by weeks end. Tied her down twice this week. She has 2 main stems competing each other, of 4 or 5, but think I will let the two of them duke it out and I will keep them the same height as each other💪😎💪 This strain is supposed to have some fat buds on the AMS and given this girl will not do the same with LST, I will see how these 2 form compared to the other large branches. I still have a couple more seeds from this pack so learning a bit for the future as well.👊 First half of the week she stayed droopy on the lower 2/3’s. Might have been pushing her a bit....a little wet causing droopy and getting pretty green so she is getting the nutes😳😡😳. Dry out day on Thursday and water only on Friday. Backed off the light more and she has taken off finally over the weekend.👊 She has not liked the light at full power at 18”......lowered power and backed off to 40” for a day and she was better. Lowered down again to 28” with HLG at 50% and holding there for now. Still going to sleep about an hour and half before lights out but getting better. We are getting close to half way👏 Little more detail: Mon - Jan 6/20 - Day 29 - 2L water ph 5.5......finished last week a little high. Bringing pH down a bit. - runoff water from last feed 900ppm, 6.1pH. After feed runoff 610ppm, 5.7pH Tues - Jan 7/20 - Day 30 - dry-out day - looking like a ball :) Wed - Jan 8/20 - Day 31 - since nothing yesterday she was fed at 6:30am today. 900ppm with 6.0pH - 1.5L - run-off: 700ppm, 6.0pH - pots were light late in evening and no time next morning.....watered again late today. - 2L in PM with 975ppm, 5.9pH. - run-off: 650ppm, 6.0pH. - small growth removed from lowest branches. They will be blocked anyway. - she is certainly getting greener. Thurs - Jan 9/20 - Day 32 - sick today.....I did nothing for her :( - dry-out day.....pots were still okay in evening......or good enough Fri - Jan 10/20 - Day 33 - she is standing up more today....main branches starting to take off. - water only today......1L with 6.01pH.....kept light.....giving IPM - Spray with Plant Therapy 12:30pm, 2ml/L (2Tbsp/gal) - Everything is fine but I have fought thrips before and have two cats....spray them💀👻💀 Love pets like crazy but even when not allowed in the grow room I still find their hair here and there in my bud shots😇👹😇 Sticky buds love that😥😪 Sat - Jan 11/20 - Day 34 -she is pretty happy today. 4 main stems competing. - pots were light....she is feeding well. - gave 2L feed but DF went in at 2ml/L by mistake..... 1,000ppm, 6.05pH. - Terpinator upped to 3ml/L from 2ml prior. Sun - Jan 12/20 - Day 35 - Huge growth last night....leaves filling out, standing up, and node spacing growing.💪🙏😍 - Flower sites are tight together.....she will stack nicely😛👌 - focus on some supplementals with flower going. - Added Piranha & Voodoo Juice from Advanced....their schedule is first two weeks of flower, 2ml/L - Full 2L feed. Kept the base low. 725ppm, 5.95pH. - Pulled out and stripped a couple more lower inner growth sites. - measured: 16” tall x 24” wide......after tying down....strong week of growth. Coming week is to focus on more the same.....minor changes to temp or humidity....will start cooling off evenings more and decrease humidity range to 55 - 58%. Only three to four more full weeks feeding left......she goes quick with autos😮😮 Considering trying out a real high potassium adaptive to counter act some of the high nitrogen she looks like she experience, to help keep up bud density.......Terpinator should do the same thing though - increase the amount given closer to manufacture recommendations. *****next run keep closer eye on light intensity.....this girl liked to ease into the increased light.

These two chicks have blown up the buds are starting to get frosty and on one the dark purple is starting to show I’ve up”d my watering and feeding to every day and a half or two days I feed every watering and they love it no burns or deficiencies so far until next time happy growing

Just over 6z from the 2

Day 15 of flower
