Strap yourselves in this is gonna be quite the revelation update. Day 33 - Northern Lights This girl is fast becoming the pride and joy of the tent showing no signs of flowering yet still well and truly in Veg mode without the female indicators about to end week 5 so she will be getting another round of LST this weekend to maximise freeing up access to light for the parts that otherwise without a Defol wouldn't get chance to blossom. She wants the full tent to herself at this point and the next update is going to help her with that. 20210219_103956.jpg I mean just look at her. She's a monster! Now onto some slightly less satisfying news and an admission of another noob fail. Day 28 - Chemdawg #1 This girl is abnormal. She has already made it perfectly clear she's not far off going into flower so whilst I did tie this girl down for some LST upon inspection from @autobeast he recommended we leave this stocky girl to try and get a bit of height without LST. Now for the admission.... When this girl was topped I cleaned out the top 2 Colas in the process so the top node was literally just two big fuck off Fan Leaves sucking all the good stuff away from the rest so off they came last night leaving this girl with only 6 branches to grow from instead of what should have been 8 had I topped her properly. In a way I'm glad this has happened and I spotted it myself and managed to understand why she wasn't flourishing as much as her cousin. Granted they are different Genetics but you only need to look at the next girls update to see that something just doesn't seem right with this one. 20210217_222845.jpg Here's what she could've won but instead we are going to be leaving her to her own devices. I am a little gutted about this as I've only been able to observe the Defol and training on one plant before I'm let loose with my own little lady that you're about to see next. Here's how Chemdawg #1 is looking today. 20210219_104008.jpg Don't get me wrong she is very healthy and happy and already kicking out that dank stardawg aroma and she may surprise with some fat nugs but I expect her to be having a shorter life span than the Northern Lights and with this in mind I'm going to apply that insight to the 3rd girl. Day 19 - Chemdawg #2 With the mistake in mind from the previous Topping I double checked with AutoBeast on where to top this and I'm kinda happy that he just stayed silent and said top it where you want its your baby. So being careful not to cut the top cola off too I chopped her head off and cheered her up with 1L of Water with 2ml BioBizz Fish. I've also been adding a foliar spray to her of the biobizz FishMix. Once the leaves reach the edge of the pot I'll be starting with 4ml of Parts A and B of Monkey Nutrients Grow Feed and 1 tablespoon of Blackstrap Molasses every 3 days. This is my favourite 6 days of growth I've witnessed so far as the plant tries to decipher which of its Colas is dominant. 20210219_104018.jpg Summary Don't top your main cola off when you realise what you've done it'll hurt like hell. Approaching 2nd week of feed keep a closer eye on the water levels in your plant they get thirsty sometimes but other days not so much so there is no one size fits all in those weeks 4-5 in my experience so far in Organic. Not all plants have the same life span so if growing a variety in one place understand that they will all veg and flower at different ages so while it's nice to have rules of thumb ie no earlier than x to top or no later than day x to start feed there will always be flex between days and that applies even to the same genetics although perhaps not so prominently variant. Every day growing is a day learning. Ok so it's end of week 5 for this @fastbuds_genetics @fastbuds_backup_account @420fastbuds Northern Lights Auto and well just fucking look at her. She's taking over the tent with her canopy dwarfing the 2 Chemdawg Autos and only just showing signs of Preflower. A vast contrast from the 2 Chemdawg but the aerial view gives an idea of the incredible amount of Bud Sites formulating on the upper canopy. I've been leaf tucking twice a day this week for around 15 minutes each time talking to my girls about what I'm doing to free up light to the lower canopy and its bearing fruit for sure. I knew this week was going to be an eventful one for this staggered tent but having thought the Chemdawg had fallen behind she is in fact further ahead in her life so adjusting the feed schedule for the baby accordingly. Every day growing is a day learning.

Werde nur noch Wasser geben und dann noch einmal Mit Advanced Nutrients flushen. Sollte bald soweit sein.

to mutch cold here 2 week with low temps at night cicle betwen 12 &16 graus in europe. maybe this is the reason of that purple orange colors (:

This girl is looking perfect. Not a brown, yellow or burnt leaf in sight. Got my reservoir mix down to a science.

Crystal candy was a interesting grow. I battled ph issues off and on due to learning nutrition, and operator error basically. Still was a good harvest. Putting it in cure, in a cvault for approximately a month then to mason jars, and burping till desired humidity range in buds. Thanks everyone for likes, follows and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. Appreciate the support. Thanks again sweet seeds. This is a must grow everyone, if you like growing autos. Be safe out there and happy growing.

They look si strong and healthy. They have quite a strong smell, very pleasant. All good for now

April 24, day 35, the plant continues to widen with the LST I am performing, and has nice healthy growth. Lots of branching, but the early stages of the flowering stretch is opening the plant up a little. I switched from a transition nutrient profile to an early blooming profile, as there are a few pistils popping out here and there on the plant. My guess is that there will be another week or so of growth/stretch so I am hoping to get the plant significantly larger. April 25, day 36, I raised the light by 5 inches. I should have realized earlier but I was chronically running the light a little too close this run which likely contributed to the stocky tight growth. I figured that if my brightness was not exceeding sunlight and I was not noticing leaf issues it would be fine. However, measuring the ppfd at a 15 inch hang height showed readings of 750+ at the edges and 1000 at the center. This amount is just not helpful for the plants structure even if it is growing vigorously. I raised the lighting to 20 inches which brought the ppfd to 650 at the edges and 850 at the center which is right where I want it. I am not otherwise touching the plant today, but will prune and perform some LST tomorrow. April 26 Day 37, just letting it grow. April 27 Day 38, did some training and pruning of the growth. The Euforia's transition to flowering has been slow, but the growth and vigour of the plant has stayed strong so at least it's giving me the time to fill up the tent. It's taking up just shy of 4sqft of growing space, so by the time time the flowering stretch finishes I am hoping to have growth close to all corners of the tent. So far I have been successful keeping the growth low, as this tent is very tight in its height. April 29, day 40, just letting it grow. April 30, day 41, switched watering to 3x daily 20 second intervals. The leaf tips are not showing any signs of burn, so so far so good. Took a few leaves off to expose the preflowers as needed.

Day 31 and she’s looking gorgeous and smelling danker everyday. Loving the number of tops she has going on, and her size is incredible. Definitely one I will remember. Drinking about 3 gallons per day with res changes twice a week. Was defoliated once to help with light penetration.

Hi guys, At the end of the story, I am very happy with the whole cycle and finally the outcome, since I almost killed everything in there 😂 The Z&Z is a well balanced 60% - 40% Indica - Sativa dominan strain with a short flowering period. I did have problems throughout the cycle overfertilizing the plant. This is on of the strain that did notice more my mistake, can be clearly seen on the final product. Iinfact, a good part of the flowers, went for bubble hash. I topped them, and then practiced LST training to help them growing wider. Probably If I wouldnt have messed up with the ferilizer I would have had a much better final product, this time, talking about quantity and quality. The whole plants were dried for 18 days after which they were finished in jars for another 6 weeks, if I dont fell sooner. Really looking forward to grow this strain again Indoor, I'am amazed by the terpene profile and the amount of resin they've produced, even under my multiple attempt to screw em!! STRONG GENETIC! I would like to thank Grow Diaries for this amazingly-organized community they have created, where we all can learn a lot, and share something we really love. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and looked at the diary, squeezed the like button or comment the diary. 13/12 I'VE MADE MY FIRST RUN OF BUBBLE HASH! Very very happy with the end result, did not weight anything yet because is still wet big time, I lightly squeezed it a bit, before let it drying on parchment on a cardboard. The smell it's just absolutely crazy. I can smell strong citrus notes in the 120µm but the 90µm and 73µm explodes with crazy-sweet note. While the 25µm (did not use the 43µm) where I did collect most of the hash, smell like good and sweet hash, nothing crazy like the previous ones but a very buttery like consistency that makes me want to eat it like this...dont ask me why...even though I know you all probably felt this way too... Anyway, the paper sheet says it all about timing, washes and µm used for the extractions, but just in case I'll explain it down here. I have done 3 wash with different timing. 1º wash: 5 min only to get the most brittle trichome heads 2º wash: 10 min stardard 3º wash: 30 min to stock up a bit 😅 I could have done an extra wash for sure and get more out, but I was running out of time so...I will update with the dry weight, it was not the only wash I've done, that were just too many grades to weight up..so I chose to do it once all dry! See you really soon with on the nex run pals!

12/4: I flushed them both today and took some photos. Their buds have gotten so dense that the branches can't support any of them...added a bunch of bamboo stakes for support. I'll harvest them in another day or two. 12/5: Harvested both of them. Very heavy plants! 12/9: Still hanging to dry, and very well protected.😁

This was the runt of the bunch from the beginning and started flowering a week before the others. Seemed like in veg it didn't have enough nitrogen (yellow/green leaves) and in flower it had too much causing the bottom new leaves to grow kinda mutated and dark green. Even with those issues she still packed on solid dense buds covered in trichomes. pulled off 253 grams wet after trimming and 57 grams of trim will update with dry weight when ready

I'm about to harvest. All of these have been maintenance free.

Day 14. Supercropped the top, holding it down with a paperclip. Day 18. Continuing with lst and hst. Happy with the progress. Day 19. Minor defoliation in the morning.

They got a mild deficiency , fixed with marine bio grow and cm plus with humic acid

I defoliated her entire main leaves. All her branches are popping out now which was my intention. She was also topped..

Gorilla glue is finally finishing up was a finicky one from the start Straw berry pie is getting super frosty not a big fan of the bud structure

Wetter feucht, wenig Wind, Schimmel und Fäule sind da/in sicht. 4h gucken und entlauben hoffe Arbeit zeigt bald Wirkung. Neuer Standort sollte mehr Sonne und Wind generieren.🐝

En esta ocasión tenemos algunas plantas más grandes que otras, tenemos las red hot cookies miden 17 y 20 cm. Las tropicanas 15 y 20 cm y la purple punch og 16 cm. Vamos a hacer una agua con concentración de 1.35 para las grandes y de 1.2 para las que son un poco más pequeñas. Seguimos con un ph de 5.8 y se va notando ya la corrección de las carencias iniciales.

Week one is in the books. I planted them on directly into the substrate 11/28/22 (no germination) out of the 10 I planted 6 of them sprouted up. I'm excited for this grow because I have 3 new strains I have never grown. This is grow #7 for me going on 2 years growing straight with no break. I feel like I know what I'm doing now, but still learning everyday. Stay tuned for the progress and like always Happy Growing and may the grow goddesses bless you with a bountiful harvest!
