Girls have taken off and enjoying their surroundings right now, tent is almost filled, ive started defoliating in prep for flower! Girls are happy getting plain ph'd water right now, will brew up a compost tea to inoculate the soil thoroughly before the flip Ive reapplied the alfalfa mulch layer, added some grass clippings and straw too. Top dressed with some bokashi and watered in

It has been 6 weeks of flowering , this week specifically I have seen a lot of changes in the buds development. The ph and the ppm level of the reservoir is fluctuating very much. The PH drops to around 5.3 and PPM was reaching 1800 . The best way to solve this is probably to add plain water into the reservoir to balance the PH and the PPM level. This lady sure loves to produce sugar leaves , i defoliate loads of leaves but the leafs doesn't seem to stop growing out from the buds. I decreased the amount of light per day , I am giving her 11.30 hours of light instead of 12 hrs . I checked light leaks again but still pretty sure that it is not the problem here . The nutes supplier told me to increase the ratio of Superbud blue bud and superbud orange bud so that it can enhance the bud development . This week i got some new nutes from my bro "Master Mine" which i will try out on my next run . PS . Sorry for the high light exposure in the video , i was playing around with my new DJI osmo pocket . Any ideas on how long she's going to take until she's done?

Transition is going smooth First defoil next week All is well

Week 5 started with low humidity and we placed an old humidifier inside the tent which it did increase the humidity lvls but we already have regret it as some leaves that came in contact with the hot vapor injected in the air got rotted. In week 4 one of the 3 Green gelato had popped a couple of white/green pistils but they passed mostly unnoticed. Now we are certain that this plan is in bloom stage. Really strange that it started to bloom in week 4 with 19 hours light . Autoflower strain put by mistake in the Green gelato package? Who knows.... We switched feeding to bloom on this plant ( 2ml biogrow/heaven/bloom and we added 1ml of Sensizym and Carboload)

Early flower bud development is looking good.

Not much has changed since last week. Sugar leaves are developing more than the buds are.

Week 8: Flowering Stage Rising Temperatures and Weather Challenges The temperatures are expected to rise slightly this week, but intermittent thunderstorms and heavy rain are also forecasted. This unpredictable weather presents a challenge, but I remain hopeful for continued growth. Snail Attack I had been leaving the plants outside overnight, but during a late-night check, I found three giant slugs feasting on my Gorilla Cookies buds. These damn snails just won't give up. I'm seriously considering installing some kind of automatic deterrent system. Feeding and Watering Consistency The amount of water and nutrients remains unchanged. Each plant continues to receive 3 liters of nutrient solution in their 11-liter pots to prevent salt buildup and ensure optimal growth. Growth Observations Banana Purple Punch and Blue Dream: Both strains seem to have halted their vertical growth. They are now fully focused on bud development. Tangie: This plant is still vigorously growing with new shoots appearing everywhere. Tangie seems perfect for low-stress training (LST) and could probably handle a well-timed topping without issues. I had to do some light defoliation to make sure everything receives enough light. Gorilla Cookies: While it’s not growing as aggressively as before, it is concentrating on flowering. Despite this, it continues to gain some height. Looking Ahead As the flowering stage progresses, I'm eager to see how the plants adapt to the changing weather conditions and how they continue to develop. Despite the challenges, the plants are showing resilience, and the buds are looking promising. Update 18.07: Pest Problems Bad news, growmies. During my daily inspection today, I discovered some unwelcome pests. Some leaves on all the plants had white or silver dots, which I suspect are caused by thrips. The Banana Purple Punch plant was particularly affected, with numerous black dots on the top buds, likely aphids. I had to remove two small buds 😞. To combat this, I brought all the plants inside for a thorough shower and removed any affected leaves. I then sprayed them with a light neem oil solution, taking care to avoid the buds to prevent affecting their taste. The Banana Purple Punch plant has been isolated to prevent further infestation. I'm open to any advice or suggestions on how to handle this situation more effectively. What else do you think I should do? Update 21.07 The heat has been intense lately, with temperatures soaring to around 31°C (88°F). Despite this, my garden is showing remarkable resilience. After battling thrips and aphids, my plants are bouncing back. The Tangie, Blue Dream, and Gorilla Cookies no longer display any signs of thrip damage on their leaves. It seems the light neem oil solution has done the trick. However, my Banana Purple Punch remains a bit of a mystery. This strain appears particularly sensitive to nutrients, even though all my plants receive the same care and feeding. While the other plants look lush and vibrant, the Banana Purple Punch shows some troubling symptoms. Some leaves exhibit early signs of nitrogen toxicity, while others curl upwards with no apparent nutrient burn at the tips. Additionally, the large fan leaves are yellowing. Despite these issues, the buds are frosty and thriving. I recently checked the trichomes and found that most are still clear, even on my Blue Dream, which already has a promising main bud. It's clear that patience will be rewarded with this beauty 😍

Alles steht in Blüte, wächst und gedeiht. Habe ganze Zeit nichts angepasst wegen Living Soil, aber mein Wasser ist so Hart das ich auf 6,2 -6,5 mit Zitronensäure anpasse und erst mal nur von oben gießen werde, habe normal ein Bewässerungssystem, wo sich die Pflanzen von unten selbst Wasser ziehen.

As a newbie to growing Autos I am very impressed with this strain from Growers Choice Seeds. Northern Lights. I feel it’s getting real close and I’m very excited to see the final results. ✌️🌱✌️#growwhereyouareplanted #sticky #budz

Hey yall, Temps were high, but under control now. My girls were droopy despite having moist soil. After a good compost tea they bounced right back. Pistol hairs are showing, haven't grown this specific cultivar before so the bud structure is a but different than others I am familiar with. Let's see what she does moving forward. I am not a super fan of these genetics. Already have new seeds I am ready to start once these ladies are done. Over all the Strawberry Diesel from Beaver Seeds is not a noob grow, you need to have your grow dialed in. And really be careful with PM. I am keeping humidity as low as I cam while still maintaining a decent VPD. Challenges with this strain definitely turns me off. Looking forward to a new cultivar, already have some genetics from Michigan, those cats are really something else, they are hellbent on being better than the West coast. And they are in my humble opinion 😌 ☺️ Pure Michigan looks good, also Honey Sticks Genetics out of Maine is killing it, their Bananaconda 4 tested over 40% total cannabinoids. They want like 3k per cut, so that won't be my next, but looking forward to new genetics nonetheless. Anyways made some new ferments, remember to use equal parts organic sugar, Jaggery is best, that is the closest form of sugar to the sugar cane plant. Cover with paper towel, 2 to 3 days later let gravity give you all that juice, don't squeeze it to get more. Keep that juice in the fridge, that is your food. Then add water to the solids and keep at room temperature for 3 months to make a vinegar. That is your cleanser. Ask questions please 🙏 Love to see others trying KNF, or simply put Natural Farming methods.

Die Woche verlief insgesamt ganz ok. Sie wurde zu Beginn der Woche an Tag 22, ein paar Stunden nach dem Gießen, getoppt. An Tag 22 und 23 habe ich die 4 Triebe, die ich behalten habe, nur ganz leicht mit etwas Draht voneinander separiert, das eigentliche LST begann dann langsam ab Tag 24. An Tag 28 habe ich entdeckt, das vor allem die 2 oberen Triebe an den Stammansätzen leichte Risse aufwiesen. Daraufhin habe ich das LST etwas überarbeitet und die 4 Triebe jeweils auf ca. halber Länge noch mal von unten unterstützt. Der pH-Wert des Bodens lag laut einem pH-Bodentest mit optischer Skala an Tag 22 eher in Richtung 6 als 7, daher hatte ich mich zu Beginn der Woche dagegen entschieden zu Spülen. Stattdessen soll die Erde und vor allem auch das Hydrogel sich langsam durch mein planmäßiges Gießen weiter in einen optimalen Bereich verschieben. Das bisschen Drain, das ich an Tag 25 beim Gießen erhielt, wies dann auch einen pH-Wert von ~6,7 auf. Das scheint also zu funktionieren. Seit Tag 22 habe ich die Menge an Bittersalz auf ca. 0.25g/l erhöht, um das Ca:Mg Verhältnis meines Leitungswassers besser für die Wachstumsphase anzupassen. Das hätte ich vermutlich bereits früher tun müssen. Beim zweiten Gießen habe ich etwas mehr Fish-Mix genutzt, um potenziellem Stickstoffmangel entgegenzuwirken und auch etwas Alg-A-Mic hinzugefügt, um die Pflanze vor allem gegen die heißen Temperaturen diese Woche zu unterstützen (zum Teil für einige Stunden knapp über 30°C). Gegossen wurde diese Woche 2 mal, jeweils 1 Liter. 1. Gießvorgang: Tag 22, 1ml/l Fish-Mix, 1ml/l Acti-Vera, ca. 0.24g Bittersalz, pH-Wert ~6.4, EC-Wert ~0.95mS/cm 2. Gießvorgang: Tag 25 (vermutlich etwas zu früh), 1.5ml/l Fish-Mix, 1ml/l Acti-Vera, 1ml/l Alg-A-Mic, ca. 0.24g Bittersalz, pH-Wert ~6.4, EC-Wert ~1.18mS/cm Zusätzlich gab es an Tag 28 noch eine leichte Blattdüngung für die Unterseiten der Blätter, mit: 0.5ml/l Fish-Mix, 0.8ml/l Alg-A-Mic und etwa 0.3g/l Bittersalz. Gestern war die Erde dann noch feucht genug, um das nächste Gießen noch 1-2 Tage hinauszuzögern. Das Licht wurde nach dem toppen zunächst erst etwas abgeschwächt (~220 PPFD), dann über die Woche langsam wieder erhöht und steht jetzt bei ca. 460 PPFD, also in etwa bei einem DLI-Wert von 30. Die Pflanze wächst weiterhin gut, wirkt aber noch immer nicht vollkommen glücklich. Das frische Wachstum zeigt mittlerweile etwas mehr Symmetrie, aber eine leichte Asymmetrie bleibt. Die ältesten Fächerblätter sehen immer noch chlorotisch aus, haben sich aber nicht dramatisch weiter verschlechtert. Etwas Sorgen machen mir die neueren, bereits größeren Fächerblätter in der Mitte, da sich auch diese anscheinend von den Spitzen her aufhellen und etwas chlorotisch aussehen. Das frische Wachstum hingegen sieht schon ganz okay aus.

Week 3. Plant topped on week 3. Next lst. ViparSpectra is on 50%.

🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸 Hi and welcome to another Kannabia grow! This time I’m running their Apple Fritter (feminized photoperiod). She’s going to veg under 24hr light and be manifolded.

But she’s showing me something else, and I’m not here to fight her — just guide her. Now after stretch, I’m keeping side shoots only if they: Fill real canopy gaps Don’t crowd neighboring tops (minimum 15cm spacing) Aren’t growing into walls or toward the next plant Anything too close, too low, or heading into shade gets removed. No point forcing it. Looks like I’ll finish with 14–16 solid tops, depending on how she settles. I’m just trying to give each one enough light and space to stack properly. No overcrowding, no larf — just letting her do her thing with a bit of structure. Increased Tri Part Micro to 50ml as well. 28.06.25 VW11 one week since I flipped to 12/12 and she is stretching nicely, a bit shy in showing pistils compared to the Fantasy Feast regulars I have in the same tent. 29.06.25 VW11 increased GreenBuzzBloom 30→ 60ml 06.07.25 FW1 TriPart Micro: 50→ 30ml TriPart Bloom: 0 → 20ml Home-made FFJ/FPJ (Watermelon + Pumpkin): 10 → 30ml 12.07.25 FW1 GreenBuzzBloom 60 →40ml, TriPart Bloom: 20 → 60ml, fpj 30→60ml 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 🌿 Day to day tasks & actions 🌿 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 11.07.25 FW1 – Fed 5l of #1 25% strength → 2l runoff 12.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 14.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 15.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 16.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 17.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 18.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 19.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff (*RUNOFF reused for tomato plants) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 Nutrients in 30L #1 – Week 11 Veg 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 TriPart Micro: 10 → 15 → 20 → 30 → 40 → 50ml → 30ml (1.00ml/L) 🍶 TriPart Grow: 0ml (0.00ml/L) 💧 TriPart Bloom: 0 → 20 → 60ml (2.00ml/L) 🍶 GreenBuzz Bloom: 10 → 15 → 20 → 30 → 60→40ml (1.33ml/L) 💧 Cal-Mag: 60ml (2.00ml/L) 🍶 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new batch): 10ml → 30→60ml (2.00ml/L) 💧 pH Down: Citric acid (buxXtrade) 📦 TOTAL: 250ml per 30L 🔬 8.33ml/L 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️ Tools & equipment ✂️ ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️ 2× MarsHydro SP3000 ⚙️ MarsHydro 150mm ACF Ventilator ✂️ Trotec dehumidifier (big unit) ⚙️ Mini no-name dehumidifier ✂️ Kebab skewers (LST – stainless) ⚙️ Wire + roast skewers (LST assist) ✂️ Scissors (HST) ⚙️ Vacuum (for spills & cleanup) ✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ --- 🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬 Apple Fritter (Kannabia Seeds) 🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬 Species: 50% Indica / 50% Sativa Genetics: Sour Apple × Animal Cookies THC: Up to 25% Effect: Euphoric, relaxing, creative Flavor: Sweet, fruity, pastry notes Flowering: 56–63 days Resistance: High Indoor yield: 450–500g/m² Outdoor yield: 600g/plant Structure: Strong, bushy, dense buds

🌱 Day 8 — Veg Nutrient strength kept light (≈180 ppm) for root development. Water level just below net pots; bubbles lightly mist the bottoms. Reservoir and pH stable throughout the week. No visible roots yet. Will transfer the 4 best plants into the alien aero system when: Roots are long, white, and branching — at least 4–6 inches hanging freely into the SuperPonics reservoir. Root tips are firm and bright (not soft or brown). The plants have at least 3–4 sets of true leaves and are starting to accelerate growth. 🌱 Day 10 — Veg Roots have finally reached the water. Will look to transplant in the next 5 days or so.

Leaves are changing, and doing out. Trichomes are starting to get cloudy, as well as the hairs turning orange and curling.

Creciendo bastante bien Talvez yo no sé cómo hacer el lst pero está aguantando bastante bien está nena En un semana creció bastante!!! Estoy contento Me está aguantando Ok Sábado No sé si el lst ayuda al crecimiento pero siento que va a avanzando mucho... No tengo ni idea de que estoy haciendo ni estaba preparado para hacer amarres Ni tengo idea de cómo lo voy a hacer... Pero realmente quería experimentar ya que veo que todos lo hacen aún que me da miedo romper la planta o estresar la y tampoco se que cortar!!! 😔

Well it's been a shitty week regarding no sun just plenty of clouds and wind..seriously windy last 2 days posted a we video to show, the sun's out today and still got plenty of wind, for having such a bad week the buds have got very big compared to last week, well pleased and still a month to go :) :) After listening to some good experienced people in decided to lollypop her and try and concentrate the energy to the top part of the plant..pray lol :)

Apr 20: They hanging out at 65% rh and 65F.. Going for 7-10 day dry… No wet trim, cut plants in half and hung… Very happy with density and resin production… Can’t wait to jar and test in 2-3 weeks… I feel comfortable with this strain, I think it’s time to move on… Really wanna run some Mephisto seeds….
