finishing week 3 of stretch. Plants started to look pale, unclear if it was leaving the rez on too much vs. just hungry for higher EC. Towards end of week pulled them out of the trays and put drip trays in to give them a top-feed with generous runoff + some recharge. Pics of that are more in next week's photos.

๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š The grow was a pleasure, the smell of the buds is mouthwatering!! ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ‘Š In the middle of the grow perhaps the soil got a bit salty.. the Punch still grew well without getting flushed. She showed signs of calcium deficiency on the leaves which are most addressed by the LED. She recovered easily and delivered delicious flowers. ๐Ÿ™ The smell during the grow was so good, I couldn't wait for her to finish! ๐Ÿ˜ Surely going to grow that one again!! ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿ˜‹ I also love sleeping! Effects are very relaxed. Just sloth. Muscle release, mindfuck release, all included! ๐Ÿ˜‡ Thanks everybody for visiting!! ๐Ÿ˜˜ Grower love!!! ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’š Thanks @Fast_Buds for the great genetics!! โค๏ธ _________________________________________________________________________________ Strain Description: This is a giant autoflower that reaches 150cm and produces massive yields of up to 600gr/m2, a modern Cali strain that offers what a top-quality Indica-dominant hybrid should; nugs capped in resin with the density you would expect from Indica-dominant strains and that bag appeal that will surprise even the most experienced growers. Expect beautiful purple and magenta hues that come along with a sweet almost pastry-like taste and, thanks to the 24% THC, a very pleasant and potent effect that surprisingly starts as a motivating high and in no time relaxes you completely, taking a bit of the energetic edge off. Bud description Purple Punch Auto develops rounded compact buds with fat calyxes and bright orange or sometimes bright yellow hairs, with copious amounts of trichomes that give the buds that beautiful frosty look that all growers seek for. The light-green buds can exhibit subtle purple or lime-green tones that give them a charming and attractive look and complement them magnificently, while the mouth-watering mix of earthy cherries and blueberry muffins with a spicy touch will win you over even before you can see the buds. Smoke report Due to the high THC levels, youโ€™ll experience a powerful effect that will completely relax your whole body and gradually start feeling like all your muscles are melting before you can count to three. Despite the strong Indica effect, you wonโ€™t be couch-locked thanks to the slight Sativa genes that incorporate a pleasant creative head-buzz and leaves you mellow and clear-headed in a peaceful state of mind. The perfect effect to go through a busy day stress-free, alleviating sore muscles after a long workout routine or just chill and have fun on a night out with friends. Plant appearance Due to the Indica dominancy, this strain remains relatively compact despite its height and grows wide and thick fan leaves typical of Indica-dominant varieties. You can expect a thick tall main cola and a few shorter side branches with spaced-out internodes where the incredibly frostbitten flowers develop and end up looking like buds on steroids by the end of the flowering stage. Grow tips This strain offers unique flavors and charming colors so we recommend flushing thoroughly to allow it to show its full potential and end up with the beautiful reddish-purple and/or lime-green hues on the buds and surrounding foliage. Due to the Indica genes, the buds grow denser than usual so itโ€™s essential you tie the branches slightly so there is enough airflow in between the buds to prevent mold and bugs. This variety doesnโ€™t require a lot of maintenance or anything extra but remember to feed her properly and with good-quality nutrients, this way you guarantee the buds fatten up properly and that your plant doesnโ€™t suffer any kind of nutrient deficiencies. Flavor Thanks to the high-quality genetics, this strain offers a distinguishable taste of fresh blueberries and earthy cherries with spicy undertones and a pinch of sugary tart. The sweet smoke overpowers your throat with a sweet blueberry muffin-like taste as you inhale and, as you exhale, leaves a delicious coat of sweetness in your mouth that leaves you feeling like youโ€™ve just eaten a dessert. ______________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H + 24pcs Osram 660nm + 8pcs Osram IR 730nm + 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K + 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm ยฐ 2x 5W Fans ยฐ custom 320/270 cmยณ/h exhaust fan & Carbon Active Granulate 240cmยณ/h ยฐ Mills Nutrients, Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! โค๏ธ If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75โ‚ฌ) โœจ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ ยฐ tap water EC 0,26uS upgraded to EC 0,5 with PlantMagic MagneCal - pH 8, nutrient solution downgraded to pH 6,5 with Advanced Hydroponics Minus Bloom ยฐ from week 4 in the same container Aptus Enzym+ once a week ยฐ Biobizz Lightmix ๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

Really sorry for anyone that was actually following and wanted to see updates but I had to take some time away and neglected this project. My friend/neighbour/weed mentor passed away and I just havenโ€™t felt the same. Moving along, after cleaning up most of the big fan leaves I decided to just switch into flowerโ€ฆ I have 3 seedlings of Tropicana poison F1 saved out of 40. This was the next project of my friend that has passed. My goal is to finish this grow and honor my late friend with a grow diary of his plants. Iโ€™m sure heโ€™ll be smiling above. 36 hours of darkness before proceeding to switch lighting to 12/12 Added 3 feedings a day now, but reduced the amount fed. Food has been given extra liquid mycorrhiza and bacteria. Will be using PLAGRON: Green sensation 4-in-1 in addition to megacrop at week 4 of flowering and see if thereโ€™s any benefits

SUNDAY 4/28: I plucked off some dead leaves and did some leaf-tucking. All 4 CC's are looking good and the big one is really starting to bud up now.๐Ÿ‘ Daytime temps are still hovering around 87-90f, but I've got them sitting in 70-72f temps for 6 hours of darkness now.๐Ÿ˜ I did a little video today and I'll take a few "glamour shots" tomorrow. MONDAY: Today I see a bunch of crispy leaves on one of the smaller ones..guess I phuktup the PH again because they are getting fed everything they need. I douched everybody with 1/3 gallon including some boomerang, calimag, bembe, bud candy, and terpinator. No time for glamour shots... TUESDAY: Not much time for gardening today..changed out carbon filters and cleaned out the evap cooler basins. WEDNESDAY: I took some photos after doing a little training on a few of them. I have some sort of contagion in the big tent..leaves suddenly getting brown and crispy overnight on a few plants. THURSDAY: The 'contagion' seems to be spreading through the garden... I'm thinking maybe I completely PHuktup the ph when I added silica last time and didn't correct it?? Not sure...but it's sad..they're all gonna be less than photogenic for the finish...๐Ÿ˜Ÿ FRIDAY: I plucked some dead leaves and misted everybody with perfectly PH adjusted spring water and increased airflow in the tent. Also decreased the dehumidifier to 45% RH. So far, the biggest one is the least affected. SATURDAY: I fed them all today and started the big one on Cha Ching.

Day 29 - Let's talk about sex! โ™€๏ธโ™‚๏ธ So me, myself, and my OCD tendencies have had a busy couple of days obsessively stalking the preflower growth sites of my Blazin' Skywalker babies with a microscope. I have never had to sex plants before, so my natural curiosities took the wheel. I had so much fun being a complete and total dork that I decided to make a video for anyone else who might also be learning how to differentiate male from female plants. As I mention in the video, these are the earliest signs of my preflowers, so they may not be completely formed yet, but you can at the very least appreciate the difference in structure of the male and female parts and maybe some of you more experienced growers can chime in with your 2 cents? Do you think my guesses are correct? I hope so! ๐Ÿ˜œ Day 30 - Transplanted prospective female #2 into a 3 gallon rain science grow bag. Day 31 - Gave my 2 females a good watering with 6.5 pH water. ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ Day 35 - watered the males with 6.5 pH water Gave the females a taste of some Green Buzz products mixed in their water. I took 1 gallon of water and added 4ml of Organic Grow Liquid, 4ml of Humeric Acid Plus and 4ml of More Roots. I then split that between the two plants, plus an additional liter of regular pH water until I had about 10/15% runoff.

Advertised 56 day flowering. Mad yellowing I think is root bound stress, over watering/under watering, magnesium deficiency... I have no idea. I top dressed with myco, azos, and a bunch of soil to give her some extra food for the last 3 weeks. I'm hoping it'll solve any issues. I'm going to put the airpot into a 7 gal cloth pot to try and relieve some root bound issues. I never intended for her to be this big in a 2 gallon... She was an auto after all that never flipped.

Cherry Cola's Grand Flourish in the Floral Symphony Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 4 has unfurled its petals in the mesmerizing floral journey of our beloved Cherry Cola Auto. The tent is now a stage for a grand botanical opera, and our green queen stands as a testament to the wonders of cultivation. Let's dive into the details of this flourishing spectacle! As we venture deeper into Week 4, the floral elegance of Cherry Cola Auto takes center stage. What was once a lush bush has evolved into a breathtaking beauty, a true testament to the success of our horticultural endeavors. The topping technique and the release from training supports have paved the way for a regal display of colas and buds. The decision to set our Cherry Cola free from the constraints of training supports continues to be a triumph. The tent is now a realm of bushy brilliance, and our green queen stands tall, a majestic presence commanding attention. It's a living masterpiece in perpetual motion. The echoes of our topping tales from previous weeks resonate in the structure of Cherry Cola's colas. Each topped branch has evolved into a flourishing bud-laden entity, contributing to the overall grandeur of our green canvas. The decision to embark on this topping journey has truly paid off. Our nutrient symphony, now joined by the magical touch of Potassium (K), continues to fuel the botanical brilliance. P-Boost and Topbooster, with their orchestration of phosphorus, organic grace, and now potassium magic, create a harmonious dance of blooming processes. The buds are becoming robust, laden with fibers, resins, and sugars, promising a top-tier end product. Every day, the visual majesty of Cherry Cola unfolds with new growth, showcasing the resilience and vitality she possesses. It's more than a plant; it's a living testament to the artistry of cultivation. As we conclude Week 4, Cherry Cola Auto stands as a botanical opera in full swing. The tent is alive with the grand flourish of a floral symphony. Stay tuned, fellow enthusiasts, as we eagerly await the next thrilling act in the Cherry Cola Chronicles!
