Week 9: Trichomes - The Jewel of Panty Punch Auto's Journey As we stand on the precipice of harvest, Week 9 of our cultivation journey with Panty Punch Auto beckons us to explore the mesmerizing world of trichomes - the tiny, glistening crystals that adorn her resinous buds. In this report, we embark on a deep dive into the nature of trichomes, their evolution, and their significance as Panty Punch Auto approaches the pinnacle of her growth cycle. Trichomes, often referred to as the jewel of the cannabis plant, are specialized epidermal cells that serve a multitude of functions. These microscopic structures produce and store a plethora of compounds, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, all of which contribute to the plant's unique aroma, flavor, and effects. Throughout Panty Punch Auto's growth journey, we've watched in awe as her trichomes have evolved from mere specks to glittering clusters of resinous goodness. Their development follows a fascinating progression, beginning with clear, transparent trichomes that gradually transition to cloudy and finally amber hues as maturity approaches. This evolution signals the optimal time for harvest, as each stage offers distinct effects and flavors. In jest, we marvel at the sheer numbers of trichomes that adorn Panty Punch Auto's buds, jokingly attributing their abundance to the exceptional genetics provided by SeedStockers feed on Aptus Holland. Time and time again, Aptus Holland has proven their prowess in feeding top-tier nutrients to all my cannabis genetics, and Panty Punch Auto stands as a shining testament to their expertise. As we reflect on the journey from seed to harvest, it's impossible not to be awestruck by the sheer magnitude of Panty Punch Auto's growth. From her humble beginnings as a tiny seedling to the towering beauty she is today, every stage of her growth has been a testament to the power of genetics and nurturing care. She stands as a true giant in our grow space, a living testament to the wonders of nature and the art of cultivation. Throughout this journey, the Tent-X controller has been an invaluable ally, providing precise environmental control and ensuring optimal conditions for Panty Punch Auto's development. From maintaining temperature and humidity levels to record all data, the Tent-X has played a pivotal role in her success, allowing us to create the perfect environment for trichome production and resin development. As we prepare to bid farewell to Week 9 and embark on the final stage of Panty Punch Auto's journey, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who have supported us along the way. A sincere thank you to Aptus Holland for their exceptional Nutrients, SeedStockers for the amazing genetics to TrolMaster for their innovative technology, to Grow Diaries for fostering a vibrant community of growers, and to all fellow cultivators for their unwavering encouragement and inspiration. As we eagerly anticipate the moment of harvest, let us savor the beauty of Panty Punch Auto's trichome-laden buds and celebrate the culmination of months of dedication and hard work. Stay tuned for next week's harvest report, where we'll reap the rewards of our labor and toast to the success of another remarkable cultivation journey. Until then, happy growing, and may your harvests be bountiful and your buds be resinous! #PantyPunchAutoAdventure #RootsAndFruits #TrolMasterControl #GrowDiariesCommunity #CultivationExcellence Genetics - Panty Punch Auto - https://seedstockers.com/ Plant nutrition - Aptus Holland - https://aptus-holland.com LED Photons - Lumatek - https://lumatek-lighting.com Controls - Trol Master - https://www.trolmaster.eu/ Watering - myself Love and attention - Me, myself and i As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life, With true love comes happiness.

I put my seeds germinated 3 days ago and everything went well, last night I transplanted them and small thumbs are already appearing. one plant still dont separate from the seed, I hope it doesn't affect the plant's growth and that it falls as quickly as possible..

Fattening the buds and making them grow. Nice smell. Buds are heavy causing the branches to fall, losing strength, I'm having to tie them up. Very fat.

This week went good, she is still stretching and up to 36 inches tall. I switched over to flower nutrients and defoliated a handful of leaves. Just going to sit back and let her stack flowers. This is my first ever manifold so I am interested to see if this method can increase yield and/or decrease trim time. I should know here in a few weeks. Thanks for stopping by and blaze on!

Welcome to my Black Jack b sponsored by Sweet Seeds 2 yrs ago nearly. Veg Weeks & Pre/Post Pre Flower Weeks 7-9 She was really healthy during her entire veg period. Moving into pre flower she didn't do any excess stretching. Plant was doing very well moving into pre flower it took a good few weeks for her to flip but it was building up a good base up and down the nodes. I used plagron right through half of flowering possibly more. For the last 4 weeks I moved all my plants to Xpert Nutrients. MAINTENANCE I carried out a good bit of work making sure all parts of her was getting light (as much as she didn't get, it was more then enough to get A grade bud just like it was done under a 100w). I stripped a lot of shoots coming into & during pre fower. So when coming in to fattening all her energy went into making buds that were brought to harvest. Knowing light would be an Issue (lack off) i made sure to use all my skills to move energy through a plant. After pre fower was over (plants nodes stop growing up) and I left her a few days for the leaves to take in energy building stigmata. Then I done 10-15% defoliations for mid wk into fattening and beyond until I felt was enough removed (3-4 stages). Now on her last few days I took loads of leaves off to help ripening. She's 95% cloudy and 15% or so Amber. I had to give 10l of water to flush the nutes I had given her. 4l was given and ppm was 650. So I had to give another 6L to get the ppm down to 250 area. 3 days its been under light for 11hrs with 30m of UV-A doses from 65cm away (they are attached to my light IR/UV45) FLOWERING/RIPENING WEEKS Plant moved very nicely through fattening. Buds are lots but whets there is pretty darn good for been at the side of a FC3000 300w light in a 1m2 tent doing many other plants. And this been by far been under the best part of it. It sat on the outskirts as this fem is one of my 1st 5 I started together with 7 autos in phase 1 of my 6 phase crop with 10-15 plants per phase. Took (NUMBER 4 this 1 is). 14 weeks from seed. And she's been through a hard flush. As the last 4.5 weeks she's been on Xpert Nutrients. NUTRIENT GIVEN So I know tats a large list. But as I updated my a lot of weeks into 1. I left on the list what was given. All of plagron was given through most of the grow right through to the middle of fattening and then I switched it (all my plants to Xpert Nutrients bloom nutes). And even then, I normally give more than 2-3 nutrients in 1 feeding 2-3 day window. Its important tat a plant take up these as individual so I typically leave a few days or at least 1-2 water feeds (or low ec feeds such as an enzyme, or calmag to help break down any excess nutrients left behind from last feed) I added my SE5000 and have this 60+cm away just finish off the ripening process. Pant has a good amount of bud. And really like this breeder. What have I been missing out on Sweet Seeds both plants are dreams to grow. Thanks to my sponsors. Xpert Nutrients have given me a gift for you guys. !!DISCOUNT CODE FOR XPERT NUTRIENTS!! CODE FOR 15% OFF & FREE SHIPPING IN EU:GGST !!DISCOUNT CODE FOR XPERT NUTRIENTS!! Much appreciation to Sweet Seeds. Seeds are nearly 2yrs old. I've had them for nearly all that time. They were packaged within a month of me getting them. Shout out to Mars-Hydro for their FC3000 & IR/UC45. Had to break out my SE5000 as nice as this plant is its needs fell short been in a tent with 15 other plants. My se5000 is giving 55k lux (that's the lowest level BTW in my corners I just about got that mid field using my 300w.)

Our beauty is now 6 weeks old and has officially entered the flowering stage! She has gained noticeable height and bushiness, showing off her healthy growth and vibrant energy. We've installed a net and gently guided her underneath to maximize the potential of each branch and ensure even light distribution. The light schedule remains 12/12. Daytime temperature is a steady 28°C, nighttime drops to 21°C, and humidity stays at 65%. We continue feeding her with Xpert Nutrients, providing all the essential elements she needs during flowering. CO2 supplementation also continues, supporting her vigorous development. A huge thank you to Xpert Nutrients for their top-quality fertilizers — it’s thanks to them our girl is entering the flowering phase with such strength and confidence .

It's been an exciting journey training my plants, and I'm happy with the progress they've made. I've been implementing various training techniques to encourage healthy growth and maximize yields. The plants have responded positively to the training, and I'm hopeful that they will continue to thrive and develop as planned. Fingers crossed for a successful outcome!

Flushed yesterday. I want to harvest friday or saturday, but I would like to get in one more flush. Well today is the day. All three are coming down on this holy day, 4/20/19. Im going to turn my customized grow tent into a dark dry room for at least two weeks (Aprox temp: 50-60*/ Aprox RH: 50%). Im also going to do my best to keep Big Lemon in one piece and do a whole plant hang dry. I will be placing the smallest budding plant (The Cheese) into a smaller tent with plenty of light and Co2. However, it is only day 56 into true flower (+ 2 weeks of transition=70 days of flower) for Big Lemon. It has a recommendation of 60-70 days, according to the breeder. I lend some credence to breeder flowering suggestions, because most of the time their relatively accurate. Its gonna be a busy day, and ill be sure to post before an after harvest pics/vids. Happy 4/20 Yall 😃
