So this week is the start of flower !! Woooohooo finally get to show what I'm made of ! Step one ) take all the big fan leaves Step two ) establish a "light line" and take all small shoots that are unable to get the proper amount of light due to their distance from the top of the canopy. * These are the places we all wish would grow ! These are also the places that are at risk of - hermaphroditism - mold - waste of energy for the plant. ** These are also some of the best places to take clones ** Continue to tie and secure everything in preparation of massize buds ! I hope some people looked at this like " This took way too much off " I took ALOT. Yes I push , I push hard to know how much they can take . Yes I would say 60% of plants DO NOT like a massive defoliating. But, the ones who do , you will unlock a yeild like never seen . It's the risk we take . One thing I have noticed is when I'm gonna defoli , I don't combone high stress or toping + a bunch of other techniques . Should have some pretty huge plants by two months ! Thanks for stopping by more notes and pictures to follow . First week of flower was a great success!!! Unfortunately I did have covid this week so my pictures weren't exactly where I would want them . For these genetics, it's crazy , they haven't been topped or LST'd and yet they are growing flat at the top ! *** I did have covid this week so my pictures weren't exactly up to par. So I'll do my.best to make it up with notes , - this week very little flower stretch that is definitely a plus for people who want medium sized bushy plants . Not saying that this one won't stretch but so far there has been very little stretching . - there are ALOT of nice shoots throughout the canopy, plenty of places to take clones *** this genetic clones very well so that is another thing to note ! So great clonability . The end of week one I have seen very little stretching , in my opinion these could all be considered S1 . It interesting, even with no topping or training these plants NATURALLY grow FLAT! so for all you Screeners out there this is a primal genetic for that !!! In to week two !!! Here We Go !!! -------------------------- Find these world class genetics at : https://www.exoticseed.eu/products/exotic-animal#:~:text=What%20is%20Exotic%20Seed's%20Exotic,be%20cultivated%20indoors%20and%20outdoors.

Flowering is going amazing, this candy cane is growing some very fast weight and caking up with Trichomeโ€™s. The sweet and slightly minty berry smell is growing in power day by day, and Iโ€™m very happy with how the size of the buds are developing since adding the increase of 2-8-4 and fish bone meal, just a little bit, not too much at all and sheโ€™s reacting great, knowing that the candy cane is a larger auto in size makes me a bit sad with the total size of this plant, but in its young age as my very first auto I believe I probably stunted it, but after all this and how she looks now Im more than happy with the growth, yield and quality of it, just speaking now as I do not obviously know how much I Will revive from it, Iโ€™m guessing about a ounce. No small bud sites other than maybe one on a lower branch that already has a main top cola on it. The main cola is massive and packing on a lot of size. Iโ€™ve switched the light to a hour less now as I am growing 2 photo indica L.A grape and with the season change I am having to fix my temp and humidity more for the photos, so changing to a 17-7 schedule has actually helped quite a lot and also has helped my other autos veg slightly better. But all in all Iโ€™m very exited!

Still going lol. Still not too many amber, but I cut down one of the smaller side growths to dry and test. Keeping up with just water, probably could have added nutes for quite a bit longer, but oh well next time haha. Couple buds moved onto a light bulb and burned pretty badly. Be careful out there!

Hi 420 Family. Start of week 6, and we are well into the blooming stage. So far so good, these ladies have gained a lot of growth over the past 2 weeks, they have stretched a lot and have now shifted their energy into making buds. The one WW is a little ahead of the rest in maturity it seems, the other two WW's not far behind. PL's I think will flower for an extra week or two looking at the bud sites and the pistils. At this stage they are getting about 1L of bloom feed every 1.5 days but it does seem to pick up and they are getting more thirsty every watering. I guess they will eventually settle on about 1L per day. D36 - 11 Aug - All good and no complaints, other than the stretchy PL's. Let's hope they just make for awesome bud sites. D38 - 13 Aug - Steady as it goes... Bud sites are forming nicely and I have not again spotted any sacks on the WW that initial had about 6/8 sacks on the oldest branches, nodes closest to the main stem. Very happy that I didn't kill her; I am still keeping a close eye tho. The PL's have again stretched a little bit but not as much as last week, thank goodness. They were watered yesterday morning and will be letting them dry out properly before giving them another feeding. D38 Heights: WW1 - 46CM WW2 - 45CM WW3 - 62CM PL1 - 65CM PL2 - 72CM PL3 - 76CM Stay blessed and I wish you all a happy grow!

Day 63 This plant now shows a much fuller canopy, with strong lateral growth and dense foliage. The training earlier in veg has clearly paid off โ€” multiple tops are reaching upward, giving the structure a wide and balanced appearance. The node spacing is fairly tight, and the plant has developed into a bushy, healthy shape. Leaf color is a deep, rich green, a sign of good nutrient uptake. The canopy is vigorous and energetic, with new shoots continuing to push through. The posture of the leaves is upright and responsive, indicating that the plant is currently in a comfortable environment. No major signs of deficiencies are visible from this angle. At this stage, the plant looks ready to transition soon if the goal is flowering. The main considerations now are airflow and light penetration: the canopy is dense, so a light defoliation of older fan leaves could help improve circulation and ensure even bud development later on. Next steps will be to maintain a steady feeding schedule, monitor watering carefully, and prepare for the upcoming stretch once the light cycle is switched.

Update 29/8/2021 Nothing much going on last couple of day's today the pots ran dry again so i've watered them and gave new nutrients. some leaves still start to turn yellow but i'm just leaving them as they go now. 1 plants is still not really showing any progress in growth.. the 2 others slowly seem to grow. Update 1/9/2021 Hey Folks, again not much action this week. picking some dead leaves left and right. but thats it. Really starting to think that 1 plant is lost. it doesn't show any more growth. we are slowly getting closer to the finish line. and man do i want to finish this.. and start a new cycle with all the knowledge I have now.๐Ÿ˜Ž stay safe๐Ÿ™

Germination was pretty good, we lost one of each strain. We soaked for 24hr then wet paper towel for 24hr then in a tray and dome for 2 days under a sun blaster 50 watt light for the first week or so

I've pretty much gone over everything in the video. Super not happy I've had to turn this auto grow into a photoperiod grow. I'm not really set up for light leaks hence why I grow auto's. On the only plus side, I think two are MABEY starting to flower. They would be the smart pot pair. The big sativa is still stretching even though it did that during week 3-4! All I can say is thanks for suggesting the 12/12 switch @biggreens420, if this grow turns out fine then we'll be smoking buddy lol I was gunna kill three off and start a fresh grow with BETTER GENETICS. But I'm willing to see how messed up they can get so I can give a PROPER review. Thanks for all your time !

1/16/2023 - Day 14: not much new to report. All 6 plants are continuing to look healthy. The Grand Prix seem to be a bit smaller than the Frozen White Runtz and Ice Bath. They all look good though. 1/18/2023 - Day 16: clipped a leaf off each Grand Prix to send it in for a genetic test to determine the sex. I used Farmer Freeman. Nothing else to report at this time. 1/20/2023 - Day 18: watered all 6 plants and foliar fed with the same water. Ph was 6.6, and mixed with ThermX-70, FishShit, Rootwise Micro Complete, Pure Protein Dry organic fish fertilizer, BuildASoil Big 6, Rootwise Enzyme Elixer, Fermented Comfrey Extract, and Yah-Whey Thrive. I know I went crazy, but might as well use it if I have it. 1/21/2023 - Day 19: Plants are looking happy. They obviously loved the feeding yesterday

Hey guys! ๐Ÿ‘ Hope everyone is doing well! This week was interesting. I made a small flush because I wanted to know how much salt my plants had in the soil (considering I've fed my plants with a lot of nutrients the past few weeks) aaaaand the results were quite interesting! They obviously had tons of salts! Here are the results of the runoff water: Falco 5.94 pH 1139 ppm (2278 us/m) Max 5.85 pH 2352 ppm (4704 us/m) Roko 5.64 pH 2453 ppm (4906 us/m) Boomer 5.72 pH 1765 ppm (3530 us/m) Surprisingly enough the plants that had the "worst" runoff values were the plants who had the most foliage and their leaves were the greenest. The pH "loss" of all the plants was also within the expected margin so that's good! ๐Ÿ‘Œ The buds look beautiful and I also noticed some of the plant leaves are starting to turn purple ๐Ÿ˜ the smell is also getting stronger and it's quite citric, I love it! Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks for reading! ๐Ÿ™Œ

I dediced to buy a grow tent and a LED, and that definitely gave the plants the boost they needed, they've incremented their size and started flowering period. Unfortunately I'm going on holidays for 2 weeks, I won't be able to water them during this time so I'm preparing homemade gelified water with non flavored jelly, hope it works.

Hey everyone ๐Ÿ˜Š This week they were put in the flower chamber :-). I am curious how both phenotypes develop ๐Ÿ˜Š. I will now wait about 7-10 days until the actual flowering begins, then I will add 2 g of GHSC Powder Bio Bloom per liter of substrate. Otherwise everything is going as it should and I'm looking forward to next week new update. Until then, I wish you all the best, stay healthy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป and let ea grow ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ‘‹ You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/sweet-skunk-f1-fast-version/ Type: Sweet Skunk F1 Fast Version โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Genetics: Sweet Skunk Auto (SWS34) X Early Skunk ๐Ÿ‘ Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W ๐Ÿ’ก Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’กโ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Soil : Canna Coco Professional + โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒฑ Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.
