Welcome back to week 9 This week will be mostly playing the waiting game and some post stretch defoliation on the Photos As all plants are done stretching, the feeding of PK was increased to support the bulking phase. The auto tent is getting more frosty every day with temps between 25-20 degrees Not much to do there, just ensuring reservoir is filled and airflow is good The photos are also done stretching….mostly….i hope 😬 The BBM now reached same height than the others and some side branches also If they stay like that for the next days I will do a final clean up defoliation on all 3 to get a bit more airflow and light penetration through all plants Feeding will reach its peak this and next week with 2.0-2.1 EC and 5.9PH and decreased slowly after that As an addition to my “why are photos stretching so crazy this time?” Question, I think I found the answer…. I started the PK a bit too early, as phosphorus in stretch makes plants grow more in between the branches… which is exactly what happened to all 3… they some times have 5-10cm spacing between the branches… Lesson learned: don’t start pk before stretch is REALLY done! 😅👍 Update: the BBM and BKH are both still growing 😬 while I first thought the CW would be the big stretcher…it now shows I was completely wrong… The CW is now the smallest in height and due to my LST the most dense I have all a heavy defoliation (not completely lollipoped but still a lot foliage removed) When I shut down the UCL it was complete darkness at the tray 😱 never had anything that dense and bushy I just hope I can keep the RH under control in late flower… And as a remark: I need new vents…both top fans get issues with the oscillation Those need to be replaced before late flower starts!

So here’s Week 2 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s grow. All in all an easy week but there has been time spent reinforcing a couple of the seedlings because they are so top heavy. I check in on my seedlings at least once a day (oftentimes 2-3 times daily) just to make sure that all equipment is functioning well and temps are stable. Upon looking into the windows of the tent I discovered that the smallest seedling (the one that lost one of it’s cotyledon leaves) was tipped right over. I gently supported her with a homemade splint (a tent peg/pipe cleaner combo- pictured above) and she’s currently standing on her own again. She’s still smaller than the others but surviving, not thriving for now. I used some fresh additional soil to fill in any gaps and pack down around the bases of the other three plants’ stems. Speaking of stems/stalks- the three healthy seedlings have peeling/stretching stalks and are starting to push out their first sets of branches. Other than that, same routine as always- watering every fourth day at 1.4 litres per watering or 0.35 of a litre per plant per day. I will be increasing the water sometime over week three. That’s it for now. Mom’s Tip for Week #2- Don’t Over Water! (when growing in soil of course)… When learning to read your plant’s needs, water is a very important factor to consider. I often notice other growers with tiny seedlings sitting in completely saturated pots of soil. Or read that many other growers don’t believe in placing newly sprouted seedlings into their final containers/pots. Both issues being easily resolved by simply paying close attention to your plant’s body language, it’s grow environment and sticking to a schedule. Cannabis truly thrives and benefits from a wet to almost fully dry watering cycle. From my own personal experience with photosensitive strains grown outside in the summer to growing autoflowers indoors through the fall, winter and spring- all of my Cannabis seems to do best when watered every 4th day like clockwork! This schedule is somewhat subjective of course depending on the environment that you are growing in. Here in Canada, much of our year is cool to cold and the humidity is relatively low. Because of this my plants are not always able to take in moisture from the air through their stomas so they suck up more water from what’s readily available in their pots. In other environments (ex. tropical), you may be able to stretch out this cycle- watering every 5-7 days because your plants are pulling so much water directly from the humidity in the air. And how you water your plants matters too. When starting out with newly sprouted seedlings placed into their final containers- less is more. There is no need to completely soak all of the soil in a 5-7 gallon pot. Simply start with a small amount (0.5-1 litre) directing the water to the base of the plant, working your way outwards in a circular pattern. As you increase the amount of water, I try to work my water outwards- making my circle slightly bigger each time I water until eventually I am soaking the soil surface all the way out to the edges of the pot. This process is gradual, stretched over a period of 4-6 weeks. It will encourage the roots to reach for water and allow your plants the time needed to grow into a heavy dose of H2O. Finally, learning to read your plant’s body language will help you to understand when they need and don’t need water as well as food, more/less light, temperature changes, etc. Healthy, well watered plants are generally light green with leaves slightly turned up towards the light/sun. They will be growing/thickening every day and able to support their own weight even in a very breezy environment. Leaves are soft and supple, not dry and brittle and there are usually no marks or discolouration of any kind on the foliage throughout your grow. Water quality is important too but that’s any entirely different tutorial for another time. Bountiful harvests are very possible by simply tweaking your watering schedule to suit your plants’ ultimate needs.

www.blumenbot.com Week 2 here we grow! Upgraded the light to the 4 arm 6500k model. Hoping to drop the coco pot into the main pot at the end of the week. I shut off the circulation fan to bring up the temp and humidity. Seems to have helped a bit. Added a clear Tupperware container as a seedling dome to keep humidity in and she seems to like that so I got a bigger one designed for the purpose on the way. Got the legit seedling/veg dome, things are looking better for the little lady. 12/16 - last feeding with current nutes, switching to NPK RAW All in one Grow schedule. 12/17 - upped the size of the dome. Helped make the seedling zone a bit more ideal 12/20 - dome is doing a great job of keeping the lady happy. First feeding of NPK RAW coming up tomorrow! Waiting on one last packet of their nutes.....oh annnnd stickers arrived!!!!!

This week went pretty well. I was worried about the flower stretch, and running out of room. I have a tall tent, 80" but with my huge 8" carbon filter, lighting, and automatic drain buckets I have the pots sitting on, I really only have about 48 inches of actual plant height to work with, which I originally thought would be MORE than enough room for Autoflowers, now I am not sure. This lady definitely almost doubled in size this past week. I am still on 18/6 light cycle, and feeding 6X per day in coco coir via a timer (drain to waste) with the runoff being discarded out of the tent via a gravity fed auto draining system I built. I started adding Liquid Kool Bloom this week to help the flowers start to thicken up, and I am also still using about .5 tsp per gallon of Cal Mag (for the Coco, not the plants) and dry kool bloom at about 1.5 tsp per gallon. I am keeping my EC around 1.5 and keeping my ph in a range from 5.7 to 6.2 Please let me know if you see something I am missing or should be doing better! Thanks for checking me out! Blaze on!

Vamos que os explico un poco critical es una variedad indica con una floración rápida, sus flores son compactas , y bastante resinosas, tiene aromas fuertes. El ambiente en el secado estuvo en 23 grados de media y 40% de humedad se pasaron rápido al bote de cristal, 7 días en concreto. Hasta aquí todo familia, espero que os agrade un saludo y buenos humos💨💨💨

7/13 It's maine-ing out. Overcast and misting. I guess it rained last night but not much. Today is my watering day although I think they could've made it until tomorrow. These drastic temp changes makes it hard to get a STEADY routine in place. I watered everything in the 20's a gallon the 10's 1/2 gallon. The 10th planet in the front was still heavy so I didn't water it. I'll keep an eye on it. Temps are much milder. I noticed a few more septoria leaves on the 10th planet which I promptly defoliated. This pheno is flowering. I could've put this week as flowering as several plants have started. I also saw ONE leaf on my chem dog that had septoria on it. ONE f-ing leaf! I was planning on treating this early anyway so I mixed one gallon of plant doctor 3 tsp gallon/gallon which was the recommendation. I'll monitor this plant and continue treating it the next two weeks. I may do foliar too but the mixture is different. It's a systemic so I don't think that matters as much. Considering getting mulch to protect from spores on the soil. My plants look GORGEOUS. I Hate to use such a nice plant as a guennie pig but I'm not going to sit here and watch it progress. I'm lucky it's really not that bad and that it's on a reveg. There's so many leaves that I would be forced to prune anyway. I'm seeing two MAYBE three leaves a morning but I want to get this under control. Last year u let a plant with septoria go and it finished but went to extracts. I've got a pretty good feeling about this plant doctor. I've used it before with good results. Only time will tell though.🤞 EDIT: WENT OVER AT ABOUT 1PM. ITS 2 NOW AND BLUE SKIES AND SUNNY. IM SUPER GLAD I WATERED AND EVEN MORE SO THAT I APPLIED THE PLANT DOCTOR HOW I DID. THE GIRLS ALL LOOKED AMAZING. THE TENTH PLANET I TREATED WITH PLANT DOCTOR LOOKS THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN IT. I FOUND ON LEAVE DEEP ON THE INTERIOR WITJ A SMALL SPOT BUT ITS SOMETHING IM SURE I MISSED THIS MORNING. IF THIS WORKS THIS GOOD ILL BE APPLYING IT TO EVERYTHING EVEN IF ITS JUST PREVENTATIVE.

The plants were fed 3 days ago for the last time.. after the soil has dried, only flawless finish will go (probably from tomorrow) for the next 10-12 days, how long will it last... Glookies has a strong, exotic smell, it smells a lot like melon, sometimes a little like coffee... the smell is intense and can be felt even at 40-50 meters, especially at night... it is currently in full potency, some 90% trichomes are cloudy-milky and sometimes amber, when it is removed it will be exactly what an indica dominant hybrid should be... Dos Si Dos 33# also smells a bit like melon, but I think it will completely lose that smell by the end, no lime, citrus and mint as it says, it smells mostly like gelato, which makes sense because it's genetics,but I like it...it's like I planted gelato lol...but unfortunately I won't leave it as long as it requires because the weather won't allow it, I'll take it down in 12 days at the latest because after that the temperatures will go up to 3 degrees Celsius at night, the humidity will go over 70 , it's going to rain, there's no point in keeping it longer than that, I'm just increasing the risk of mold, and it's not like I haven't already thrown away a couple of moldy heads...50% of the trichomes are cloudy-milky, the rest are transparent and some amber... I hope that by the end it will be able to achieve at least full potency because time will not allow for more amber These plants are real viking warriors, they didn't miss a bit of stress, but thank the dear Gods, it was reflected in the potency, and not in the production of seeds... this season is the worst season I've ever experienced, and so are my plants ...throughout the season they were under stress, and I was under even more stress...the weather in May and June was cold, without enough sun, temperatures were low, constant rain, ice and storms...after that came abnormal temperatures that easily exceeded 60 degrees Celsius in the direct sun....drought for almost 3 months, without a drop of rain, on the hottest days some plants drank 100+ liters of water, including food, I couldn't believe it with my own eyes... outdoor this year cost me more than if I did indoor... there were a lot of storms throughout the season... the last storm completely uprooted 3 of my plants and I had to take them down... of course I didn't manage to cut that much grass in time, so I ended up with over 600 g of dry moldy gorilla zkittlez( that's about it, the quarter that I cut gave 150 grams of dry matter, so I realized that there was no reason to continue cutting) it got worse because I didn't have time to cut it, and it was soaked from the rain... I still can't complain even if I I don't like the smell, I'm not a fan, it's potent and the work is relaxing and divine, I managed to save about 20 grams without it being touched at all... I have more strains that have been in jars for some time, but this is not the place for them now, I will certainly include some footage of them in jars as well...all the strains are superb and each is beautiful in its own way...I couldn't stop I decide on just one... dos si dos 33, runtz x layer cake, glookies and mimosa x orange punch I'm definitely planting again in the future.. I'm also interested in what barney's amnesia lemon is like because I really like this one, so next year I'll probably plant it too Dos si dos is about 120 cm tall, glookies 2 m These two plants had additional stress unlike the others which also didn't suffer...they were in smart pots, staked and one morning I go for a tour and see the plant broken, and the pot torn all the way, like a beast that was there.. .did some wild animal fly over there and got tangled up and uprooted it all... and it was as if someone had cut it with a knife, after a few days the same with the other plant, the same completely... then I seriously started to i mean someone is casting a spell on me lol then they were transplanted in early bloom into direct soil Then glookies was transplanted to a place with much less sun than it was in, but at that moment I couldn't choose, what is there is..

Been looking around at diary's and like everyone else has giant buds already formed by the end of the third weekish.. And mine aren't all that impressive.. Guess it's the cheap ass Amazon lights.. Fml..😕 June 18th : Welp now I don't know what to think. Lol Buds seem to be getting bigger every day.. Hope some of these large main stems start stacking bud sites. Come on girls!! Fat shout out to Crop King Seeds for some testers! 🙌 7 Dark Angel Feminized, 7 White Cookies Feminized, 7 NYC Diesel Autoflower, 7 Revolver Autoflower. June 19th : Man the Crystals are starting to really show all over these leaves.. Beautiful just beautiful. Didn't do anything tonight other than admire them for far to long. Feeding tomorrow! June 20th : Last night of the 4th week of flower. Did another nutrient feeding tonight at 2/3 recommended strength. Seems like they are starting to stack up on the bud sites. Loving how it's looking.
