Some light defoliation this week to hopefully get more airflow and encourage upward growth before flowering sets in. (already well underway), might go heavier next week. Got some nasty visitor chewing my leaves, but not aphid or mites, possibly cricket or beetle... monitoring.

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.

7/6/2021 - Trimmed lower fan leaves as they were being blocked completely, and a few tips were yellowing. - Continuing to lightly bend the upper branches so the lowers can catch up. - Bought some Gaia Green veg + bloom dry fertilizers as I expect I'll be flipping to flower soon. 7/7/2021 - Watered in a little bit of Gaia Green's veg fertilizer. - Foliar fed w/ DIY kelp extract. - Yellowing/browing on a new leaf, can't identify what it is. - Staked down the branches on the upper mains this evening to open her up for more light penetration, she was gettin' real bushy. 7/9/2021 - Trimmed out middle to expose canopy

Lots of work this week on keeping up on training this week, buts it’s going well! I split a fork when tying her down but the duct tape fix worked great and she didn’t exhibit any stress from it surprisingly :) Each day I tighten the bindings and then defoliate about every other or 3rd day. I keep doing 2 feeds to 1 yucca flush. She now uses 3 gallons to get my saturation and 20% runoff, about every 3 days. When I yucca flush I also foliar feed her to keep things flowing, roughly 1/8-1/4 strength of my food dosage. Foliar feed mix is yucca, kelp, fulvic acid, 1-0-0 Calmag+, and a 14-0-0 ominA. And I fed that every day for 3 days until I watered her again :) Interestingly, 3 days in a row just barely began to give her N toxicity by causing a slight clawing of the mature fan leaves, but no burn in the tip, and day 4 she was flat out again :) so it was right at the edge of useable nutrients IMO. The netting is coming along nicely, lots of weaving going on, refilling the center and spreading the mains out to the corners of the tent. Tried 2 different cloning techniques, one placing them into the peat pellets from Walmart with rooting powder, and the other is a Tupperware container filled with a PH’d weak nutrient solution, and sticking the stalks through the lid into the water. Both techniques have produced roots, peat took longer but are stronger specimens. Tupperware seemed to shock them less but roots are tiny little nodules. Thanks for stopping by and checking things out :)

Dropped the seeds in water in the afternoon, the day before yesterday. I just put them in the pots about an hour ago. I am growing 4 in a 4X4. All the seeds were split and showing just a bit of the root. I mixed about a teaspoon of Azos with the soil just where the seeds are, in the center of the pots. I mixed it into a depth of about 3 inches. I am misting with PH (6.4) adjusted water. Will grab some pics when the girls come up. It should just be a couple of days. Update for the week. It's early morning on the 9th, 5 days since planting. All 4 of these Fastberrys were up within 48 hours of going into the ground. They popped within 12 hours of each other. They have now been up for 2 days and are looking good. Still misting with just PH (6.4) adjusted water. I will mist for a couple more days and then start real watering. The first watering will include Mykos WP to help with root growth. So far off to a good start!

These plants are tremendous! they smell incredible, cheesy and fruity, very blueberry and purple kush like. These plants have packed on some good weight this week, they look great as we move closer to harvest time. This week we watered with fresh water and a molasses water mix. We are allowing these to munch up the last feed worth of nutrients, and slowly flushing them to prepare for harvest in a few weeks time. Very pleased with these three 🥊

Ultima semana solo riego con 3 ml De enzimas por litro de agua, esta etapa es un riego final, donde se puede esperar a que se seque el sustrato. Una vez las hojas no muestren signos de vida, o estan muy amarillas, ya no cumple función para realizar la fotosíntesis, dejar la planta mas tiempo ahí es perdida de recursos. Es el momento ideal para poder cortar. NOTA FINAL: Cherry Lemon AUTO: Es una genética compacta pero productora, con manifestación de antocianinas ante los cambios de clima, mas calor es igual a un color de las inflorescencias mas lilas. Mas Frio, y el color central tiende a ponerse morado, a un color purpura y vino tinto, propio de las genéticas Cherry. Tonos de aromas cítricos y dulces en el aire. AK ULTRA: Es una genética bastante sativa, con una floración larga, esta planta todo lo que le puedas dar, se lo va a comer , asi que hay que tener precaución a la hora de administrarle la comida semanalmente. Para verano es una genética excelente, y puede llegar a dar bastante producción, dentro del indoor llegando a 1.20 metros 1.30. Tolerando mucho el calor y la sequia. Flores densas y compactas, ramas laterales abundantes , aromas a limón y Diesel por el aire. En lo que respecta a la alimentación de las sales, tantos A+B y C . Las autoflorecientes con las solución A ( N 4- P 2- K 3) tienen una buena base de nitrógeno, calcio y magnesio, lo necesario para que la planta crezca hasta la semana 5 sin necesidad de cortar el nitrógeno de golpe. Sino que aplicando la mitad de la dosis cuando la planta entre en floración. Durante las primeras dos semanas se recomienda tirar la mitad de la dosis utilizada en vegetación + la solución B que es la de flora ( N1: 5 P- 5 K) luego de la tercera semana ya se puede aumentar la dosis de 2ml x Litro en cada riego a la semana. Por ejemplo, si la planta en la semana come 800ppm. El primer riego debe aumentarse cada 1ML en agua base de osmosis 0.045ppm hasta que la solución marque 400ppm - ML. A los tres días repetimos hasta lograr 400pm-. El próximo riego si no vemos excesos, se puede diluir un poco mas de ML x L hasta un máximo de 5ml de la formula B. Luego de 3 riegos con sales, es recomendable regar con agua lo mas limpia posible o usar enzimas para que haya un arrastre de las sales y el sustrato quede mas liviano. Dejando de aplicar sales y regando solo con agua 2 semanas antes de la cosecha. En la solución C para auto florecientes en todo el cultivo con un NPK de 1:1 5:1 . Las dosis acá fueron mas altas empezando de 2.5ml hasta 6.5 ml x Litro de agua. Aquí no hay sobre-fertilización, se puede agregar tranquilamente hasta 4 riegos en dosis bajas , y ya en el quinto riego es recomendable usar solamente agua. Debido a que es una formula que expreso una pequeña falta de PK, se pueden agregar aditivos ricos en Fosforo y potasio para potenciar el cultivo. También como la solución C, es recomendable dejar de fertilizar dos semanas antes de la fecha de corte o cosecha , cualquier tipo de aditivos minerales, dejando así un sabor mas suave a la planta. OJO: Si ud va a usar este producto con fines medicinales como aceites y extracciones, es recomendable que limpie bien el sustrato, Cortando con la fertilización 10 a 15 días antes de cortar la planta. De lo contrario, puede seguir alimentando la planta hasta el ultimo de sus días. Pero el sabor no será el mismo y arruinará el trabajo de meses solo por un capricho de querer tener mas producción. Pero si a ud no le molesta, puede fertilizar hasta el ultimo dia de vida de la planta. TIP: Si tiene la posibilidad de usar enzimas por cada 3 riegos de sales minerales, seriá lo mas perfecto para la planta. Luego puede volver a fertilizar tranquilamente. Aqui un ejemplo. 💧( AGUA) Semana X Fertilizacion (🔴 ) Fertilizacion (🔴 )Fertilizacion (🔴 ) 💧( AGUA) O enzimas. Repetir, dos semanas antes, parar de fertilizar.Y regar solo las proximas dos semanas con agua.

11/22 Day 31 from flip. Today is the first day that I took a tape measure from the lights to the topmost part of the canopy and I haven’t seen a change. I’ll check again tomorrow but I’m really hoping the stretch is finally done. I still have about 10 inches of space between the lights and canopy so I think I’ll be ok with that. I took the chance to do what is hopefully a near final defoliation of a few leaves and some smaller sucker branches that won’t amount to much. Everything still looks super healthy, no red anywhere on any stems and no discoloration on the leaves. Everything is spot on. Light adjusted to 840 PAR / 36.3 DLI. 11/25 Day 34 from flip. I made some adjustments to my nute mix to be more firmly at 1.3 EC, which means I’ve added some additional nutes into the mix. I also tested runoff EC and discovered things were spiking a bit more than I’d like. So I mixed up a few batches of my new mix and I’ve been feeding every few hours to flush things out a little bit. I’ve brought it down from 1.9 to 1.5 so far after this. I may finally need to break down and set up some timers to feed multiple times throughout the day. Obviously once a day is not getting done right now. 11/26 Day 35 from flip. I finally got the timer hooked up to my pump to begin automatic watering. For now, I have it set to water at noon for a minute when the lights come on, a 2 minute pause to let that settle, and then 30 seconds more to make sure both are fully saturated. The second fertigation event will be at 6:00 for 45 seconds, and then right before lights off another 45 seconds. I’ll have to keep an eye on it to see if I need to adjust any more for now. I haven’t adjusted the lights since last time, but the latest reading is 885 PAR / 38.2 DLI at the highest point of the canopy. It’ll stay there for now.

Although both plants are amnesia haze, they seem to be showing very different traits already. AH#1 is forming typical Sativa like buds as expected and should be ready for harvest in the next couple weeks. AH#2, while 3 weeks younger, is much much more pungent than her older sister and the plant is already a lot bigger in size!

It’s hard to believe this amnesia haze is only in week two of flower! She is kicking butt and LOVING the HLG 550v2 as are her neighbors. I got a little stretch out of her but it appears that’s about it. The colas look like they’ll be about 8-10”. I moved the light down for a day and gave them 85,000 lux and while they are still reaching I don’t think they liked it as much as 65k so I brought it back up. I did take a few of her pie plate sized leaves of just to let a little extra light to the lower sites as well. Thanks for looking and happy growing!

Day 36 preflower stage, should see buds forming within the next several days or so. WE ARE AT WAR!!!! Applied a pouch of nematodes to every pot to kill the fungus gnat at its larval stage. Which has been gnawing on my roots! Increased the sticky traps to trap the flying f*<|{£rs. Will reapply more nematodes in 10 days to kill the next generation. Then hopefully that’ll be all! Don’t overwater folks. Fungus gnats suck! Hopefully last hiccup of the grow. Cheers everyone. Good luck on your grows. Day 41 and I’d say we’re officially in flower. Seein those hairs real good now. We’re still experiencing a rather annoying fungus gnat infestation which has really stunted these ladies. This is entirely my own doing by more than likely overwatering them, creating the problem. Sighs… lower stems grew considerably, which has me optimistic as to the potential yield. I won’t know till stretch is over to gauge my yield. Hopefully Fastbuds amazing genetics can help me fix my f up. 🤞 Day 45 and were on our second round of treatment with nematode packs. I have moved the grow lights up substantially as to hopefully help with the discoloration of my leaves. I believe it to be light stress from the lightening around the edges and some brown tips. Some of them are curled upwards so thst could also be nutrient burn. I have asked a question about it to hopefully get the help of someone more experienced than iam. Good luck growing my friends🍻 Day 48 I ripped open my nematodes packs and mixed in the first couple inches. The top few inches of soil are now aerated better. Hopefully things will improve. Seem to look better since I moved the light up. Stretch ladies… stretch watering at 6.0 to hopefully lower the ph of my girls. I could do the viniger method? Or sulfur. Comment and let me know how you lower the ph of your soil?

23.10. Day 53 of flower. The buds become flesh. Still wonderful sticky. She really likes it moist. Lifted the lamp and switched the white Light off. Just for a while. Because, i think she began to be grilled. Just a little relax for her. Switched to 16_8h light nightschedule. And agaun with white light, FULL POWER. With greetings from the unexpected colorful Trans Syberia..😛 💪
