Transplanted to 40l container on week 4 day 1. Container has approx 30l in it. Also added a photo of the setup for size reference. Let me explain my thinking behind the repotting strategy. Firstly I should say that I am quite an old school kind of grower, although I've never grown cannabis before I have grown hundreds of other plants. Due to my experience with other plants, I understand the value of well planned and executed transplants, they can have an absolutely transformative effect upon root systems when done properly, as far as I know it's the main reason why they are done at all. It is fair to say I have never grown any auto-flowering plant indoors before, and I have read all about how you should not transplant autos, and all the good reasons why not. Ultimately though, as I am not called UnorthadoxDude for nothing, I believe that I can make it work with an auto, and get the benefit of improved root growth pattern, without delaying or interrupting the growth. I want to have my cake and eat it, as it were. So the strategy is to avoid transplant shock, which admittedly I have already failed in the first unplanned transplant, but in my hopeful naivety I still believe I can make the second one work! I'm using coco, and I have had the larger pot prepared and have been watering and feeding them as well as the plant. If I am careful not to disturb the plant at all, and move the entire contents of the pot gently into the larger pot (which is exactly the same medium in broadly the same state), then I may be able to avoid shocking the plant and just let it crack on. We will find out in a few days! If it stops growing or slows at all then I failed, otherwise it worked! A note about my use of organic nutes with coco. I have read a lot about coco and nutes and microbes and PH and TDS and what have you, and I know that the overwhelming majority of people believe that you can't or at least shouldn't use organic nutes with coco. The thing is, I like organic gardening, I prefer to cultivate a beneficial microbiota and keep it healthy. I recycle, and reuse all my compost except where a plant is diseased and this has worked well for me for a long time. I've never grown with coco before though, I always used soil. I wanted to gain the benefits of coco (better drainage, more air to roots, lighter, less inviting to pests, etc) - but I wanted to use a method of nutrition that I was already familiar with. I think I've mentioned that I am not called UnorthadoxDude for nothing, so I am using BioBizz and coco. By adding bacterial, mycorrhizal, and trichoderma inoculants and having the unplanted coco in the tent being fed and watered I hope to have cultivated a nice microbiota which will feed my plant. That's the theory. However just in case, I have a trick up my sleeve. Now, I do not know if you are aware of this, but there is a fiery debate raging on the internet about using BioBizz organic nutes with coco for cannabis. Some people try it, most people shout it down, and I have not found much in the way of solid evidence of it being a good idea. Except one! I found a commercial grower that has used biobizz nutes, and he said that as long as you are using "Acti-Vera" you can use anything from the BioBizz organic range. Apparently the enzymes in the mix break down nutes chemically in a similar way to what the theoretically missing microbes do. So I have ordered a bottle of that, and if my microbial cultivation attempts don't work out, I at least know I have a fallback that should work. Those are my thoughts on it, let's see how it pans out. Oh I should also probably point out that I am growing some companion plants, specifically alfalfa (nitrogen fixing), basil (improved flavour), and German Chamomile (increased essential oil production). Update week 4 day 2 dropped PH to 5.8 after advice from a grow question. Look! It's carried on growing... maybe there was no transplant shock? Update week 4 day 3: Growth continues, interveinal chlorosis lessening. Plant is pushing out node five at the moment. Update week 4 day 4: Growth continues, interveinal chlorosis further lessening. Apologies for the poor quality photos for the last few days, I was lazy and didn't want to move everything out to photograph. Today I have done that and the pic is better. I am declaring the second transplant a complete success. I do not believe that plant was in any way shocked. Update week 4 say 5: I think I've finally managed to overwater. Going to skip watering today. Update week 4 day 6: Photo taken just before lights on hence wilting. Growth continues to accelerate. I believe the alfalfa has been raising the PH so I've removed it. Today I will flush through with PH lowered water and then fertigate. The colour is still too pale but the growth and overall look and feel of the plant screams to me that it's happy and about to explode. Day 27.5 flushed with 30l of PH lowered water then fertigated with 5l. Day 28: Height 12cm Width: 28cm Nodes: 6 Weekly growth data: From 5cm Height to 12cm +140% From 12cm Width to 28cm +133% From 4 primary nodes to 6 +50% Summary: Wow, wow. Wow. What else can I say. What a crazy week, amazing and unexpected given the problems. I am really excited to see what happens over the next seven days!! It looks like it has quite severe chlorosis, but otherwise seems robust and is seriously stretching. Almost unbelievable growth. Pre-flowers appeared a few days ago, so I guess this was the final week of veg. Let's see how the first week of flowering stretch goes! Update 7/2/23: My instincts about this plant on week 4 day 6 were absolutely correct, she was happy and, she was about to explode. Since my early attempts at transplanting, I practiced multiple times with Citronella (a photoperiod plant) and then I did it again with an auto (Polly) - this one went flawlessly and further demonstrates that you can transplant an auto without shocking it. Time will tell, because I can compare Polly to both Misty and Nesia both of whom were sown directly in their final pots.

Hey everyone! Week 3 of my babies and they look beautiful! 💪 So far I've noticed these issues: - The girl on the back seems to be growing slightly slower compared to one closer to the camera. Maybe it's the lights? - That same girl grew with one of the leaves broken or something like that, which looks interesting! But, what could've caused it? I checked the leaves and there was nothing! - The girl on the front had one leaf tip slightly broken! Perhaps some slight over fertilization or something? - Both girls have some small patches with different colors in one of their leaves. But besides what I mentioned, everything looks well! I also took a timelapse this week! Anyway, see you all next week with the next update! 😍

Week 4 flower : everything’s looking nice still got the lights about 7-9” from top of canopy without any issues . The humidity has gone up to 50% in day and I can’t really get it any lower I’ve already got a dehumidifier so don’t want to get another one . I would like to lower to 40-45% and lower for last 2 weeks but can’t see that happening . I’ve started the pk from end of week 4 (day 28 )at 1ml per litre this took my ec to 2.2 I will see how it goes and maybe up it to 1.2-1.5 and I’m going to use the pk for 7-14 days then I will start the flush I also lowered the silicone to 0.5ml per litre 3x blue cheese plants are on the left but has spread over and 1x sunset sherbet on the right

🍑🍑🍑 Apricot Automatic – Outdoor Projekt Woche 2 Während die Strawberry Gorillas bereits in der Blüte stehen, beginnt für drei neue Damen gerade erst das Abenteuer. Alle drei Apricot Automatics entwickeln sich gesund, zeigen eine kräftige grüne Farbe und haben sich hervorragend an die Outdoor-Bedingungen angepasst. Trotz ihres jungen Alters legen sie aktuell das Fundament für einen spannenden Sommer. 🌱 Gesunde Entwicklung ☀️ Sehr gute Anpassung an das Outdoor-Klima 💚 Keine sichtbaren Mangelerscheinungen oder Stresssymptome 🌿 Stetig neues Wachstum Der Großteil der Arbeit findet momentan unter der Erde statt. Die Wurzeln erschließen nach und nach die Stofftöpfe und schaffen die Grundlage für das spätere explosive Wachstum. Es ist immer wieder faszinierend zu sehen, dass jede große Outdoor-Pflanze einmal genau so begonnen hat – klein, unscheinbar und voller Potenzial. Für die kommenden Tage lautet die Mission: Wurzeln bilden, Sonne tanken und sich auf die Wachstumsphase vorbereiten. Das Abenteuer hat gerade erst begonnen. 🍑☀️🌱 📅 Wie jeden Sonntag gibt es neue Updates auf GrowDiaries, damit ihr die Entwicklung aller drei Apricot Automatic Pflanzen durch die gesamte Outdoor-Saison 2026 verfolgen könnt. 😎🍑🍑🍑🌱 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🍑🍑🍑 Apricot Automatic – Outdoor Project Week 2 While the Strawberry Gorillas are already entering flower, three new ladies have just begun their journey. All three Apricot Automatics are showing healthy growth, vibrant green color, and excellent adaptation to their outdoor environment. Despite their young age, they are already building the foundation for what could become an exciting summer project. 🌱 Healthy development ☀️ Responding well to outdoor conditions 💚 No signs of deficiencies or stress 🌿 New growth appearing steadily At this stage, most of the work is happening below the surface as the roots establish themselves throughout the fabric pots. Once the root zone expands, growth above ground should accelerate significantly. It's always amazing to remember that every giant outdoor plant starts exactly like this — small, simple, and full of potential. For now, the mission is clear: Build roots, absorb sunshine, and prepare for the explosive growth phase ahead. The adventure has only just begun. 🍑☀️🌱 📅 As always, new updates will be posted every Sunday on GrowDiaries so you can follow the complete journey of all three Apricot Automatic plants throughout the 2026 outdoor season. 😎🍑🍑🍑🌱

19/05/2021 la mattina dopo aver lollipoppato ho trovato le teste delle apicali tutte a curvate verso giù credo sia dovuto allo stress..... oggi andrò a visionare se si sono riprese dal stress dubito proverò a risolvere l overfert alzando tutta la lampada in cima al box(poca luce=poco mangiare) per 4 giorni.... e cercherò di guardare un po le radici delle baby perchè ho il sospetto che l overfert si un conseguenza di troppa irrigazione d acqua.... se cosi non fosse credo che laverò il terreno tutte le mie bimbe sperando iniziano a schiarirsi un po dal quel verde scuro altrimenti niente fioritura.... restate connessi 21/05/2021 ho alzato la lampada a 90cm per farle riprendere dal forte stress lo tenuta cosi per 48 ore... andrò il 24 a vedere cosa e successo...

Another 11cm grown this week. She seems very short and bushy. No idea why, not sure if I've done something wrong along the way.

This is the third LA Kush Cake from @zam.nesia that I've harvested, and I'd love to grow at least 1,000 more. It's truly beautiful in terms of color; during the fade, this one revealed a purple and yellow that blend together in a truly romantic way. The flowers are beautifully full and solid this time, and the resin is excellent. The scent is the original vanilla with a hint of spice. The parents are Wedding Cake x Kush Mintz. Once again, I'd like to emphasize that where Kush Mintz, a particular phenotype of GSC, is present, the plants are wonderful. It never disappoints. The flowers are in the drying room; I can't wait to taste them. It grew in an 11-liter Zamnesia canvas pot and was topped with a top dressing for 16 branches, then I trimmed the weakest ones. We used @plagron_official from start to finish for both soil, base feed, and additives. I choose the 100% Natural line, but there are literally thousands of options for all growing styles. Check out their website, they do it all. www.plagron.com This strain reminds me of another strain in my top 5: King's Tart by GHSC, which is crossed with LA Kush Cake. Our L.A. Kush Cake looks amazing, try it! Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11097-zamnesia-la-kush-cake-seeds.html Z - Want to take your growing to the next level? Now you can with Zamnesia's LA Kush Cake. Originally bred by Seed Junky Genetics from a Wedding Cake and a Kush Mints, this indica-dominant strain produces large quantities of resin-coated buds, rich in sweet terpenes and a relaxing effect. LA Kush Cake seeds produce stocky plants that thrive in any environment. Indoors, they require only 8-9 weeks of flowering to produce dense, trichome-rich buds with a pine-like structure and very compact calyxes. Outdoors, LA Kush Cake can be harvested in early October. Plants produce up to 600 g/m² indoors and 850 g/plant outdoors. In the right conditions, LA Kush Cake can develop intense purple hues that add to its appeal. As you open the jars of these buds, you'll feel a wave of pungent vanilla terpenes wafting through the air, balanced by spicy notes of pepper and mint. Whether you smoke or vape, you'll be instantly intoxicated by its distinctive flavor, with a velvety, creamy aftertaste followed by a powerful yet functional high. Enjoy a relaxing effect that will melt away any tension while keeping your mind clear: perfect for unwinding, enhancing intimacy, or simply enjoying a pleasant smoke. If you need to stay focused, you can: LA Kush Cake relaxes the body while leaving the mind clear and focused, making it the ideal choice for experienced smokers seeking a dynamic, active euphoria that lasts all day. Want to try a potent, productive, and delicious strain? Don't wait: buy LA Kush Cake seeds now and start growing her premium buds at home. You know it, but I recommend it: here you'll find so many wonderful things, practically "all the best nature has to offer."

Started to defoliate and lollipop her slowly, cut back on nitrogen completely and will only be using a tiny amount of Micro and Big Buds nutrients for the remainder of the grow.

Wassuuuup my dudes 21 days into flowering and the results from the lst and defoliation are showing up. Multiple healthy tops and even the small nodes under the canopy are growing bigger, if all goes well I won’t have many popcorn nugs but I’ll have just big buds (let’s hope) I guess this also means they won’t stretch much more but I think some more height would be good for yield, anyway, can’t complain for the 1st grow and this is a process, there are no perfect grows! This week was also a week to add some more nutrients (the plagron) and it’s working very well for now! Let’s wait for the next few weeks, can’t wait to see the fatty buds 😂 Tell me what you think!

Hello Growmies, As we conclude the sixth week with our Epic Buzz plants in the Tent-X Ultimate Grow Showdown, we've seen substantial growth and faced some climatic challenges head-on. The plants have thrived under a regimen of defoliation, lollipopping, and scrogging, developing into robust specimens ready for the flowering stage. The extended watering intervals and the consistent application of our chosen nutrient blend, Alga Grow, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, have supported their vigorous development, ensuring they are well-nourished and hydrated. However, managing the environmental conditions, particularly during the night, has presented some hurdles. The recent introduction of a custom-built extraction box has been our latest strategy to combat the high humidity levels we've been battling during the lights-off period. This innovative solution has shown promising results, offering a more controlled grow atmosphere by extracting humid air directly outside, preventing it from lingering in the lung area of our setup. Despite this improvement, the integration of the Mars Hydro fan with the Tent-X system remains unresolved, leading to less than ideal fluctuations in our VPD levels. The lack of support from Mars Hydro, Secret Jardin, and even TrolMaster in providing clear guidance for this integration has been a stumbling block. We're considering a shift back to the reliable Prima Clima system, known for its seamless compatibility and ease of use. In the spirit of community and shared growth, we're reaching out for any advice on connecting a 5-phased PWM motor to the TrolMaster controller. The collective wisdom of this community has always been a guiding light, and any insights would be greatly appreciated. The resilience of the Epic Buzz plants, their lush canopies, and strong structures speak volumes of their potential as we edge closer to the flowering phase. With a mix of innovation, community support, and a bit of grower's grit, we're navigating these challenges, committed to providing the best care for our plants. Stay Lifted, Salokin
