Sticking with a Seedsman strain this run as they seem to be the most consistent in my personal experience. Seeds always sprout, have had a 100 percent success rate germinating seeds from Seedsman after popping at least a couple from 4 different strains of theirs. On top of that the quality has been there each harvest so we are giving one of their most popular strains a go and we shall see where it takes us. Although this run I will be trying amended coco coir instead of my usual peat based mediums in an attempt to avoid a pH fallout when the dolomite lime wears out or is used by the plant and allows the peat to become more acidic mid flower. At least this is my theory.. I guess Ill find out. Another thing to note is that for germination I start in a glass of water for 12 hours and then transfer the seeds into the paper towel method by placing them in a damp paper towel until the tap roots are long enough to plant into starting pots.. by far my most successful method personally.

Quick kush is called quick for a reason 👌, nice big indica leaves starting to grow and stretch pretty fast, i had to re pot one of the girls so one of them might look a bit sad but she will get better (its the salts) Flushing and Buffering- I am personally using Canna Coco Coir,mix with one brick of plagron coco coir(had one left). 1. Why you Should buffer your Coco. Lets get to reading! (Its Worth it for those that dont know about it) There are cation exchange sites in coco that will interfere with nutrition until they are buffered. The cation exchange sites in coco naturally come loaded with sodium (Na) and potassium (K) cations. However, the Na and the K are only weakly held to the exchange sites. In the presence of calcium (Ca) or magnesium (Mg), the sites will release their Na or K cations and lock onto the Ca or Mg. These processes are known as “cation exchanges”. Buffering coco is accomplished by soaking it in Ca and Mg. This allows the cation exchanges to take place prior to adding plants. Simply soak your coco in a solution of Cal/Mag water and the exchange sites will release their K and Na cations and lock onto the Ca and Mg. When the cation exchange sites bond with Ca and Mg rather than Na and K, it is “buffered”. The bonds that hold the Ca and Mg to the sites are very strong and cation exchange will largely stop. This means that all of the nutrients that you add to the water will be available to the plant at the ratios that you provide them. 2. Alot of growers Grow in Unbuffered coco coir and its a big mistake guys, I myself was a "victim"😬of unbuffered coco and it does cause alot of problems... now i am going to try and fix them! -----GROWING IN UNBUFFERED COCO--- Many growers are unaware of the need to buffer the coco and they try to grow plants in unbuffered coco. In unbuffered coco, the cation exchange sites will strip the nutrient solution of the Ca and Mg and replace those cations with Na and K. This creates a sub-optimal Nutrient Element Ratio (NER) and renders Ca and Mg unavailable to the plant. Failing to buffer the coco is why so many growers suffer calcium deficiencies in coco grows. Manufacturers of prepared coco products try to exploit these problems and convince growers that only their proprietary products are suitable for growing. However, it is actually very simple to properly buffer your coco yourself. This tutorial walks you through the process and provides all the information you need to turn even the cheapest brick of dehydrated coco into a superior growing medium. I hope i Helped out someone who didnt know about this link on how to Buffer your Coco Coir is Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQi8AMMIyyA&t=18s 14/02/2019- I Decided tp raise up the amout of nutes and im giving them 1,5 ml per L so 15 ml's for 10 L / 2 Gallons of water

14.12. Day 85 of life. 47 of flower. Dry out. Leaves go yellow. Soaking all she had to the buds. You can see there still fresh phylaxien growing. BTW. Feeling sad to see this. But its a dry summer. BRAINOVERDOSE. TOO MUCH MUHAHA GAGA 😂 😂 😂 😂 I SWEAR: Looking my Northern Lights auto. Thinking.. Hmm looks great like Short Ryder. Hmm looks exactly (bud structure) like her. Maybe there's a lowyrider in her? Muhaha exactly! DR JOINTS lowyrider. But the Lowyrider 2. GREAT. You know Ruderalis? DR. JOINT. brought this holy chalice to the world. 15.12. . 😛 💪 16.12. Annotation.: leaves die but still some fresh white phylaxien. 17.12. Enough juice in the flowers. 18.12. Day 51 of flower. Chop day.

We have hit day 35 and everything's looking great! Only 2 girls out of 8 have started flowering in the past day or two, the remaining six have shown sex and I'm anticipating flowering to begin sometime this week. I gave them a full feeding today. I'm using H&G Coco A+B, which is used from seed to harvest, unlike many other nutrient brands. I will start using H&G Bud-XL in the next few days, luckily I got a bottle before the shops close for Christmas. I didn't expect these autos to get so big so fast, but I'm definitely not complaining. Update day 37 - 26/12/20 I fed the girls their first dose of bud-xl today. 5/8 girls have started to flower now, hopefully, in the next few days the other 3 start up! Update: Day 40 - 29/12/20 6/8 girls are flowering now, the two that aren't are the 2 weird pheno runts.. I've submitted a grow question regarding the 2 weird girls. I'm hoping that they're simply late to flower and not a photoperiod.. I've been feeding the girls 1-2 litres each every day, with a plain PH'd water run every 7-14 days. Update day 41 - 30/12/20 All the girls have started to flower now :D I'm incredibly happy to see them so healthy at this point too I was almost going to put the 2 runts outside but I'm leaving them inside at this point. Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas/Happy holidays to all :)

Lots of hairs this week had a bit of an airline issue on the airstones I fixed it and the leaves stopped curling downward so they are looking alot better did my usual weekly feeding 6 oz of each remo nutes and ph water 5.8 added as well cannazyne for the breakdown of old dead roots helps keep things clean and productive lots of hairs and new top development through each plant right plant started getting some yellow leaves I defoliated then and will continue to monitor for any issues but also going to re defoliate and take out those bottom useless larfe nugs

Day 64 (6/20) about to feed Day 65 (6/21) looking good Day 66 (6/22) Day 67 (6/23) will water tomorrow Day 68 (6/24) watered plain Day 69 (6/25) Day 70 (6/26) plants are looking great. Can see the buds getting more dense. I think having the bottom light will prove to be beneficial for those lower buds.

April 23 Fading leaves and turning purple. I'm making sure to do my due diligence in removing all dead leaves between the buds as they die, so that I'm not having dead leaves stuck in the bud as it dries. Trichomes aren't quite where I want them yet. The ones nearest the light are orange, but not much orange is anywhere else.

DAY 73: The Lucky Charms is just starting to come out of the stunting from potting her up, and should be ready to double in size with the new room and the stretch in early flower. Very excited to see how she transforms. The clone cut I took off the LC has still yet to root, but looks very good, so I'm hoping to get another go at this strain, with more TLC. Since my flowering room is currently full, I'm still waiting on potting the White Widow up. Since the White Widow is still in veg I've just been LST'ing the hell out of her. And she's been handling it super well. She's a Bondage Queen lol.

Vamooos familia, y es que nuestras gorillas girl de sweet seeds son increíbles, tienen un grosor de 7mm en el tallo a mitades, brutal, y eso que las tenemos en 5,5litros. Ph controlado en 6,5 tenemos humedad y temperatura dentro de los parámetros, pronto empezaremos aportar overdrive ya que es una cepa la cual sacaremos el máximo partido a las flores. Me a flipado mucho el crecimiento en si de esta sativa, tienen pocas hojas y son bastante grandes en comparación al resto.

Mexican Airlines is looking good. I'm doing some LST experimentation on her so far I'm seeing some nice development from the lower nodes, tried spreading those nodes out today. She's front-left in the group pics.

9.7. Smell changed from a mix of orange and maracuja to a whole multi vitamin juice kind of flavor over night. Under the loupe I can spot the odd amberish trichome, maybe by mishandling , but most are milky or clear, still producing more fresh ones. 12.7. A bunch of trichomes developing an amber hue. Also the leaves are turning yellow now. Harvest Window is open now, wanna see some more amber, but not too much. Mainly hoping for thicker buds.

We cleaned bare the undersides of all plants (bottom 1/3) in preparation for flower..right or wrong we always start introducing mild bloom nutrients about a week before flower (I'd love to hear some opinions on this practice)..I think we'll start flower in week 8 but ultimately I'm going by the length of new growth, I'd like the new tops to be kinda long after their flowering stretch..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone!!! ❤️💡🌱😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 12/22/21 😽💨 decided to flip anyway lol, being a 10+week strain I worry about our current supply running dangerously low in that time.. these should look great after their stretch 👌 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

Well according to grow site dark devil should be approaching her finish. As you can see we still have tons of new growth and pistils popping up. Feeding her week 10 nutrients at 70% strength. Upped water to 1.25 gals. Fed with ph of 6.2 runoff was 6.4 highs and lows high 82F w/47% RH low 68F w/40% RH. Just trucking right along. Tent is almost full to capacity having to give away the photoperiod. Taken a couple tester clones though. The main top that was HST has grown back to height of other tops now. Really learning a lot and wondering a lot more with this devilish little mama!
