02/14/2026 Honestly, I'm not sure that she is stretching. Filling out, yes. But stretching, no. Not sure what to make of this. She's only 17" tall and has been in the "pre flower" stretch for about a week. Or maybe it takes a week for the stretch to start? I don't know, but I'm not seeing any rapid growth. Like from yesterday to today, I see like a quarter inch difference in height. Not a stretch. That's like casual growing. I'm now wondering if the stretch has yet to start. So this week we are leaving it on Veg. For that reason, I'm not changing the water. Just topping it off as needed. Like today. I bet she needs a gallon. I think I'll change the water out when I start to see buds. Currently, I'm using a mix of grow and bloom nutrients while she transitions from veg to flower. I'm really hoping the stretch hasn't started yet. I've been saying it since I saw the first pistils. That was a week ago. She looks great! I don't understand where the vigor went. No signs of stress, hunger or toxicity. A perfectly healthy plant. No leaf discoloration. And still producing 7 finger leaves. Her branches are strong and most are almost caught up to the top. She's super wide and frankly, she doesn't have all that many leaves. They just got big. Maybe this lady is a 5 or 6 week veg time. But the pistils! Argh! The environment is pretty level. No issues there. We are at a nice 75ยฐ and 55%. The VPD is a bit high, but I also have the CO2 bag in the tent, so it can stand to be a bit warmer. I also think I can increase the light intensity, but I won't be doing that. Update: I raised the light to 25". It would be 24" but the Apple Strudel is 3" taller and I need to make sure I don't burn that one. So we are at 25" with a DLI of 35.6 mol. I increased the light power to 60% as well. Currently 195 watts. I also noticed the EC and TDS dropped quite a bit last night. Not sure why, but I might have to add more nutrients. It's happening with the Apple Strudel as well. Not really sure what to do besides continue adding nutrients until she levels out? But if she's taking in more nutrients than water, how do you stop that? Does it level out and she drinks the same amount she eats? 02/15/2026 Apparently I forgot to do an entry this day. Oops. I was busy. Real quick. Not much going on. 02/16/2026 Readings: pH: 6.05 EC: 800 TDS: 402 Temp: 66.2 The EC and TDS are still low, but now TDS is in the 400s, so that's good. I'm trying to figure out how to increase the dose without pumping the water out again. I'm going to have to wait until I need to top off again. So tomorrow it seems. Now just to figure out how much I need. It's 4 gallons, so what to do? I only need 50 ppm more. Maybe 500? I'm still trying to figure out how it works. Like if I add a certain amount, will the plant eat and drink the same amount based on a number? Like if the water was 500 ppm, and 2 days later when she's taken in a gallon of water, I see the EC and TDS at the same level. Or would 500 ppm still not be enough to keep up? I'm not exactly understanding what I'm experiencing here. I added a little micro to the mix too. I almost forgot about it. Just a little bit. I think it'll help with the TDS and might help the plant grow more. When I change the water out in a couple days, I'm going to be adding 1 ml per gallon to start. It should be like 7.5 or something, but I'm taking it slow. I'll add a bit more until I get to 5 or so and see how she does. I'm trying to not go over 500 ppm as this is an autoflower. She doesn't need a ton of food. Although, this particular strain is nutrient heavy. She could probably take 550 ppm. But I'm not doing that. I'll stick with 450 ppm until she hits full flower. Then I'll bump it up to 500 then 550, and if needed, 600. She also has started budding. Not too sure what that means for her growth. But I'm thinking she's not gonna grow much more. Shame that. However, the Apple Strudel is still growing. No budding, nothing. Well, she has pistils, but that's because she's transitioning to flower. She is going to finish stretching in a few days I think. Maybe longer. Hopefully a little longer to grow. Anyway, that's it for the day. 02/17/2026 Swapped the water out. Honestly forgot to write in today. So this is the next day. I swapped water and that was about it. 02/18/2026 Readings: pH: 5.90 EC: 809 TDS: 403 Temp: 65.1 We are looking pretty good. Is the EC supposed to be that low? The TDS is decent but I'd like to see it at 450 to 500. Temp looks great! I've been swapping the ice bottles out 3 times a day. 1 in the morning then afternoon and then evening. It's been working perfectly. The pH is spot on, as it should be. Her root ball is a bit small for my liking. I don't have a way of taking a picture of it without a second pair of hands. It's not too small. But definitely could be bigger. The root ball in the Apple Strudel is taking up the entire bucket. It's pretty cool. No pics of that either. As for after her defoliation, she showed zero signs of stress from it. Very happy plant. Leaves perky and happy looking. Nothing drooping. Just good happy plant. I also had to lift the light up again and drop the power down to 50%. Now she's 24" from the light and the DLI is 37 mol. It has to be that low because the apple Strudel is a bit taller and I don't want to burn her. As it is, she was showing signs of light stress already. Blue Dream, that is. But it's all fixed now. I really should be checking the light daily. I forget to. I only have a few inches to the ceiling. The environment looks great! No issues, equipment is barely running now. Perfect for this little lady. Speaking of little, I'm pretty sure that's it for the stretch now it's stacking time I guess. I'll take a total height measurement at the beginning of next week, but I'm pretty sure she's over 20" now. Maybe she'll get taller when the stacking starts. 02/19/2026 I think I forgot to mention a few days ago, she has buds now. So I'll be switching to bloom nutes coming next week. Well, 2 more days. I should have switched last week, but she didn't have buds yet. I was assuming she would stretch. Lol Apparently not. No clue what happened. Maybe not enough food. But she showed zero signs of stress. A very healthy plant. But no stretch. I'm hoping the stacks make it taller. If the stacks happen. I'm very confused with this plant. I mean, flowering as early as she did is pretty cool. But where did the stretch go? Anyway, I was considering topping off today, but she definitely doesn't need it. Maybe a half gallon. I want to try and hold off until I swap the water out. That way I'm not pulling out 4 gallons. With 1 being fresh. Nope. Not me. The environment is looking pretty good. No issues. I'm gonna drop the humidy next week to 50%. I'll leave the temp the same though. Roughly 75ยฐ I could get to 77ยฐ, but I'm not gonna bother. She also took really well to the defoliation. No stress that I can see. But she's still short! Why? Why Lord why?! Oh well. I'll just do my best to make sure she has massive rock hard buds. 02/20/2026 Last day of week 6 and last day of Veg. I probably should have started flower last week, but I wasn't thinking about it. Oh well. Now we have buds and the the start of flower. Tomorrow I'll be changing out the mix to bloom nutrients. Big bud, tasty terpenes and bringing back B-52 for the rest of the run. I'll be taking out Piranha, Tarantula, Voodoo Juice and Bud Ignitor. Currently I'm at a third dose for next week, so the week after, a half dose should be fine. Plus it was only ever nitrogen I was having a problem with and just barely. I figure if that's the only issue I've seen and it was the only issue. Although, it really wasn't an issue. The only thing I saw was dark tips. But the Apple Strudel got nitrogen toxicity from the Grow part of the nutrients. Not much else to report on. She's budding and that's what matters. Hopefully she stacks right up. I'll be very upset if this turns out to be a small budded plant. Too early to tell though. The environment is good. The water is low, but I'm swapping it out tomorrow. Hopefully I'm not causing any issues with her by waiting the extra day to fill the bucket up.

Day 165 14/10/24 Monday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag today Starting to see new growth showing purple and dark tones ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ–ค Picture and video update ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š Day 167 16/10/24 Wednesday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. I may as well make it last out this week and see how she is again. I'm thinking she may end up being a 10-12 week flower because of size. Picture and video update ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š Day 169 18/10/24 Friday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. She is starting to put weight behind her buds now... I went through and did a deep lollipop and defoliation because of what happens to Euphoria in my previous diary, I am not risking mould again!!! She is doing well! Her colours are coming through nicely now. Day 171 20/10/24 Sunday (End of week) Another feed to finish the week ๐Ÿ’ช she is taking it like a champ. De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 after nutrients.

day 64 buds are getting fatter and really moving taller. will take a while to finish no doubt.. lots of new calyx growth and pistils. i came to conclusion i was letting the plants get too dry before a top up.. trying to keep more moist. let the boost and rhizo get to work and keep the soil niiice. doubtful this notthern lights is gonna fade much.. after having cut a branch for a vase, afyer a week its still a dsrk mint green with no fade. compared to my bb which faded completly... looks super healthy if not a little too much nitrogen... not seeing too much N curl in buds which im happy about.

Start of week 7 I was worried Quick one was going to stay small but it definitely stretched (41cm tall) it seems to be flowering slower than the other plants but grew so much taller! not a noticable smell off it yet, i think its only beginning to put its energy into buds :) really excited to harvest! added a couple of photos of the chillis also, they are enjoying the light :) Day 51 - 12/11/19 Quick one is starting to grow sugar leaves in between the pistils! roll on heavy flowering :) will add pictures soon.

Auto Moon Rock is closing in on finishing bulking. She has a sweet almost fruity kinda smell. She has a nice layer of frost. I will be switching her to ph water in a few days to prep her for Harvest. I may have to try this perlite grow again in the future. She really struggled when she was small. Regardless, I think the grow was neat and unique. I will get a nice little yield from her when done. She should be pretty potent.

I noticed some small spots on the leaves, and they seemed to be calcium deficiencies, but otherwise everything was ok.

Week 5 Another week full of lots of new growth. I am up to four tops now so itโ€™s just a matter of waiting a little longer and I will be up to the magic number 8. I really like the open structure of this plant. She seems perky and very healthy up to now. Cooler internals: 6.2 pH 0.4 EC 65 F solution temp. Onward ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿป

Not much to report this week. Going well, 4 more male growths. These girls are on autopilot for the next 4 or 5 weeks. Finally done the last big defoliation. I am happy with the amount of tips, I dont mind sacrificing a little size and quality for a potentially much larger yeild. No real stretch to be seen, I guess the scrog is to blame for that. A side note, I may have a little bit of a micro nutrient deficiency, iron in particular. I know this is rare but I did miss the iron last week, long story. Its presenting from the top down with choloris near the leaf base moving outwards. I also think I have a slight k abundance at this stage but the plant should take care of that as it begins to demand more.

The "Beautiful Lady" is thriving as One of the Outdoor Natural Wonders of the Growth World. The colour, the scent, the visual appeal...isn't She Gorgeous??? Still having doubts about the strain but clearly a Indica pheno and a world classe genetics. I registered some white flies and a snail wondering around but some neem oil treatment started very quickly ( 2ml/L solution for leaf spraying) and the week after (3.5ml/L solution for direct watering on Roots) and nome of the plagues were seen after that. As you can see, the bending clips allow the sunlight to enter directly on the internodes space and the interior leafs structure is massivly and densly developing. The seedling occured at 7th February, so counting 2/3 weeks for seedling/plantula stage, plus 6 weeks so far on vegetative stage, my opinion is that with the next week hot weather forecast and the maintenance of the fertilizing schedule ( adding once a week a "cocktail" mixing mineral fert - Bionova Autoflowering Supermix + organic Biobizz Fish Mix and Rooting Agent ( Aminoacids; Humic Acids; Nitrogen supply; Selenium/Iron compound and micronutrients) and plus every 18 days Blackstrap Molasses "tea" dilution on 2 litres of water of two tea spoons of Blackstrap Molasses (around 8 ml/L). Each 3/4 days a plain OR watering scheme - no fertilizing compounds included, just plain water- and not much than 0.5L by grow. As you can see on photos, the growth goes solidly amazing with a full healthy plant. Some bending clips were apllied and it is clearly noticed that the interior leafs structure and internodes growth is developing massivly day by day. The weather was fantastic the last 10 days, changing from a very steady temperature amplitude from Max. 20 to 23ยบC and during nights a min. never below 13ยบC. Relative humidity around 75 to 85 % and changing each couple of days from showering rains to clear hot and bright sunny Mediterranean days. So Jah Jah God as always on command, greatly wise, protecting the growth and spreading Peace and Love for the world. Pause and be safe...

wow wow !!!! 404 gr ! from the suitcase!!!!!!!258 gr of wet dried buds!!!!!!! I am impressed with the result, and I don't really believe that I will ever be able to improve it :) It was a truly amazing journey with FastBuds Gorilla cookies auto, my house is filled with a wonderful sweet smell, the buds look really full and very very shiny :) I also collected a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash:) the girl coped with high temperatures and high humidity throughout her growth, which is why I was afraid of rot, but everything went well!!!! She is amazing. smoke review and dry weight will be up very soon, good luck to everyone :)!!!

This run i'm gonna play around a bit with Bio-tabs & Biobizz for the In House genetics and Aficionado French connection strains i got. For LIT Farms Diamond Gelato & Dutch Passion The Ultimate i'm gonna stick with what i know best ( Canna Terra & Advanced nutrients combo ). All plants have been transplanted to their final home's on 06-15 in 5 gal's and all of them are doing fine, even with the extreme heat and drought we got over here at the moment, to be continued. Stay elevated growmies๐Ÿ’š

Harvest in week 12. But I screwed up, I didn't have enough room to separate each variety, so I would put an average weight when everything was dry... I had done everything well, I had to mistake on the place of the drying bag Last pictures, mixed buds
