This plant was a POWERHOUSE! It shattered my previous one plant personal best by almost double. I broke the rules and double topped her early on just because she had grown so quickly in the early weeks. Coupled with the fact that she didn't flower until week 5 made her a beast. I might have missed an update here or there but she was 101 days from germination and so worth the wait. In the end a totally perfect freak of nature that could take as much in nutrients as I threw at her and overall 100% the best auto I've grown to date. If every one grew like this I'd think I was getting pretty good at the art from we all come here to share and learn about.. These are my HQ photos and I'll upload the phone shots shortly! Thanks for looking and this had better be a diary of the month winner lol

A relatively hassle-free week this one was with only one minor hiccup at the start of the week when the automated watering timer switch reset itself again. A quick trip to the hardware store to return sorted that out and no issues since with the new timer switch. It may not look like it, but this plant is seriously neglected. I have physically checked on it twice over the last week. With the remote cam I’ve setup I can see when things are going well, I’ve even worked out if I switch on the microphone at the start of the watering cycles I can hear the initial release of water which was how I picked up the fault with the automated watering so soon. It’s like the more I neglect the better this grows! Having everything dialed in, in particular the watering has simplified the process and to date I’ve never had an indoor as happy as this one is. This plant has had to deal with high heat, cold cold nights, cramped conditions, no control of humidity, not a single water PH test (think good quality tap water has been my savior here) and it’s like it’s asking for more to be thrown at it! The weather was everywhere this week. Had a couple of warm days with the hottest October day in 5 years recorded early week which really raised the internal temp of the grow tent, peaking @ over 32c….yup that’s way too hot I know. Lucky I had the shed door open to improve ventilation on the hot day, if the door was closed possibly 40C internal temps would’ve been reached. When a hot sun hits a tin shed with no insulation the heat is only amplified that’s for sure and why all my previous indoor grows have been done mid autumn to early winter. Good thing is as the lights turn on early afternoon the temps were only raised for a bit over 3 hours during the 18 hour light cycle. At least once the sun goes down maintaining a constant temp isn’t an issue. After the hot days, well of course the cold returned and once again the heating bars are busy keeping things warm. The next 7 days the weather is looking very agreeable, just what’s needed for a tin shed grow! Everything’s fattening up nicely, buds are plentiful, sticky and the aroma is getting strong. Amazing progress it’s made the last week and I couldn’t be happier with how it’s going. I’m tempted to say it’s progressing way too well as space is a challenge in the tent that’s for sure, in all directions! A couple of the taller stems are way too close to the light and I’m seeing some foxtailing of buds. I’m sure it would be happier with more space at the sides but there’s nothing I can do about this so not worth worrying about things I can’t fix. I couldn’t be happier anyhow, this is the indoor grow I’ve been wanting as my previous 2 the rewards weren’t quite there. Pretty sure I’ll be rewarded handsomely with this one in 3 to 4 weeks’ time anyhow.

Her buds have fattened up very nice!!! Almost all her pistols have changed colors and curled in. I hope im not to late, but this week will be her last feeding then good ol plain ph'd water until she is ready to chop. She smells so strong of cookies and cream and gas⛽ she is going to be a decent yielder but an even better smoke!!! Super easy plant to grow. Super stoked with 420 fast buds!!

Hello Diary, Another week is behind me, Medusa F1 is incredibly fast, as you can see in the photos, already after the third week of flowering it looks quite mature. The smell is incredible, an extremely strong fruity aroma overwhelms me as soon as I open the grow box. The first Medusa (on the left in the grow box) is a little smaller and more mature than the second one, so I will probably harvest it first. But he certainly has another ten days if she continues like this. The flowers have filled in nicely, they are hard and very very sticky to the touch. After any work with plants, I need some time to wash my hands and remove the smell. Watering is more frequent, they become thirstier, but I no longer add any nutrients to them, only clean drained water to which I adjust the pH. on 6.0. The conditions at the Farm are excellent, the temperature is around 25 degrees, while the humidity is around 40%. Here's how it looked last week. 02/03/2023. - Day 37. Watering. I prepared 8 liters of water, let it sit for 24 hours to evaporate as much chlorine as possible, added Plagron's Lemon Kick to bring the p.H down to 6.0. I watered both plants evenly with that amount. 06/03/2023. - Day 41. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as four days earlier. 07/03/2023. - Day 42. Photography for the end of the third week of flowering. That's all I think for this week, I'm looking forward to next week. See you soon and thank you all for your support.

Man, this is going to great!

Day 30. Girls are starting to look very good !!! No preflowers yet, but think transition will start this week. Leaves are a bit too green, but I still will feed them this week. Changed light cycle to 18/6 Day 33. Girls are happy and all looks very promising !!! Applied BioBizz Leaf Coat before this morning and girls finally loved the stuff !!! You get most with this product when plant is bigger and have loads of foliage, so perfect for last few weeks of veg period. Happy Growing !!!

These ladies had to be transplanted last week and some defoliation was done aswell.

Dried for 21 days. No weight bevor drying because i did a dry trim

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed! Check www.mars-hydro.com for the latest discounts! Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting us try out your light, it made this successful grow possible! Greetings and all the best! Thank you to our friends here, our followers and the whole Growing Diaries community for just being there. Big Hug, Sunshine and BioBuds

All plants doing well. I did a sledgehammer flush and after a few hrs i ran a bunch of water through soil to help flush the soil. I'm using full bloom nutes on everything but the dynamite desiel which are getting half bloom half grow next week I will start only bloom nutes the dynamite. I spray bt and neem oil once a week. There taking 2 gallons of water every 2 days. Weather has been nice cool at night and 75 to 80 day not too high humidity usually around 60 to 75 percent. I've started checking my soil ph and I've been ph my water and nute solution to 6.5. I've got no issues ATM.

She is strong now in better soil

Bubba cheese #2 very different smell to the first one. The first one has that cheesy blues smell to it where as this one has a cheesy but fruit at the same time

Algunos de ellos conforme pasan los días de floracion el tallos se está poniendo rojo. Y también sin desmerecer las luces de mars hydro son la bomba la. Mejor luz que puede comprar marshydro Espero tener una buena cosecha.

Will report back with a smoke report, but this thing smells incredible and budded extremely well. Didn't have much of any issues with pests. Got a BIG 4' plant from only super soil in a 5-gallon fabric pot. Tons of resin. Very impressed with these automatic genetics from Pride of the Lion Seeds... and I'll definitely be growing another one of them in the spring.

Well…these ladies have me always guessing! TYPICAL! Lmfao also growing a newer strain so I’m glad to be a part of it all. They’re def chunking up and showing signs of massive purpling on just a single plant. The other 4 aren’t quite there. Let me tell you though, the shorter one DEF have a berry/gas smell compared to the taller more sativa-like plants which have such a peculiar bud structure. Either way both looking awesome and quite surprised as to how they bounced back and are chunking up quite nicely. I’ll be expecting to use my ripening dry kool bloom next few waterings then flush time for the yum time 🤤 💨

Seeds were directly off the mother plant, soaked in water for 24 hours. They were pretty slow to popping and required me to use my fingertips to pop them gently. After that it was 100% successful.

Die Gelato ist jetzt ca in der 13. Woche (eigentlich Automatic). Sie wächst sehr gesund und stark, hat ca 20 Seitentriebe welche zum Teil runtergebunden worden sind. Sie ist jetzt seit ca 1 1/2 Wochen in Vorblüte und ich hoffe das an diesem heißen Wochenende jetzt der Sprung in die volle Blüte gelingt. Ist eine durstige Dame ca 1,5 -2 Liter pro Tag an Wasser. Jeden 2 oder 3 Tag wird gedüngt je nach Bedarf. Die Pflanze steht auf einer Dachterrasse - absolute Hitze manchmal in der Sonne bis zu 49°C. Nachts ist es teilweise auf 15°C abgefallen. Sie bekomm von 7,45Uhr bis 20.00uhr Sonne, vollgas Sonne. Die Pflanze steht in einem 5 Gal Stofftopf von Spiderfarmer. Die meisten Sonnensegel wurden bereits entfernt, diese waren riesig.
