Overall, this is 9th week of flower for the entire F'22 grow season. With French Macaron beginning week 7 flower and Afgooey #1 and #2 in mid-week 5 of flower. The Afgooey #3 is just starting to form tiny budlets after an extensive defoliation as she's squatty with lots of foliage. Updates & Observations - a lot of maintenance this week from continual ph'ing and flushing as Afgooey #2 has joined the French Macaron with low ph runoff readings. Given I'm growing in a living soil mix with periodic top dressings and teas every 7-10 days, I'm stumped. So, no more feedings for the French Macaron until harvest. Decided that next watering I will flush both girls with fresh rain water captured/stored which I have stored outside in 30 gallon barrels. Rain water tested at 7.2 ph, which to me is good enough for the flushing. It's raining for 3-4 days next week, so this will exhaust existing supply and replace with fresh rain water. Perfect timing. Will update next week.

During week 12 all plants continue to get ripe and the leaves get more and more yellow fade. This is a good thing at this point, since that means the plants are FLUSHED properly and all BIO NOVA nutrients and sugars inside the plant-matter are used up. ONLY A WELL FLUSHED PLANT SMOKES SMOOTHLY WHEN DRIED!!! Since I plan to smoke these buds as my medicinal cannabis against my chronic back pain, I am extra keen on well flushed buds! All my genetic treasures GLISTEN WITH TRICHOMES NOW! Its a beautiful sight and makes me smile every time I see them. The aroma coming from the tent is overwhelmingly strong now and makes my mouth water. Since almost all the pistils have turned brown now, it is time to check the trichomes, if the plants are ready to harvest. I take a hand-held microscope and carefully look at a top-bud. The trichome-heads I see, are all milky now and some of them have turned amber. Thats the perfect time to harvest, since its PEAK-THC now. When all trichome heads have turned milky the THC-content is at its highest, when they start to turn amber, THC breaks down again. The more AMBER TRICHOMES you have, the MORE SEDATIVE a plant gets and then it will make you MORE SLEEPY when you smoke it. The SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs have done an OUTSTANDING JOB! The quality and amount of top-grade medicinal buds I have grown under them is MUCH BETTER THAN UNDER HPS. I can only STRONGLY RECOMMEND the SANlight LEDs...the new EVO-series works GREAT! At the end of week 12 (=after 9 weeks of flowering) its time TO HARVEST MY GENTIC TREASURES!

A decent growing little plant. I think at this point in flower it doesnโ€™t like 18hours a day of light. The other auto gorilla cookies loves that much light so this plant has to deal.

The plants are looking really healthy. Iโ€™m still getting used to my new lights. I think I didnโ€™t push enough light in week 2 of flower Iโ€™m ramping up the light intensity now. I had to whip out my par meter I was keeping the light to far off the plants. This light has to be closer to the plants than my mini sun. Iโ€™m lurking this light a lot I just need to get used to it

This one didn't put on near as much stretch as the last one but she is doing well. A little heavy on the nutrients so I diluted the the reservoir. She is doing her thing making some buds.

They are blooming!! Nice white hairs are showing off the centre and they have start creating a โ€œbuddโ€, I donโ€™t really know since im a newbie but the leave colours are perfect, no excess or anything else shown since im watering with the correct PH Both are truly beautiful, i think next time i will choose a single plant and treat it the beat i can, exposing her to anything i just learned here I thought aswell that i could afford some โ€œtop candyโ€ or โ€œtop bloomโ€ but I donโ€™t really know if it will improve a lot or if its worth the money Better air flow during days due to new big fan working

D71/F24 - 11.29 - There's not much to say about these two. They didn't even hiccup after the defoliation, though it does appear their stretch has just about finished. They both have fat greasy prebuds right now, and the Passion Berry has particularly long pistils. A pleasure to watch em grow! <3 D76/F29 - 12.4 - Just like holy fuck these things are monsters. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™Œ Praise be to Swerve ๐Ÿ‘‘, I'm astonished at the pace and vigor of these two plants

๐ŸŒฑ Grow Journal โ€“ Week 8 This week, the plant kept growing steadily and looks healthy overall. She gained almost 8 centimeters in just seven daysโ€”thatโ€™s more than a centimeter per day, which is a great sign of strong development. Iโ€™m planning to work on her structure a little: probably a topping in the coming days, along with a light defoliation. The goal is to open up the canopy, improve airflow, and make sure the light is distributed more evenly, while guiding her growth in a balanced way. The main challenge this week has been the pH. This morning, the reservoir measured 4.8 while the tray was at 5.2, a 0.4 difference. I honestly donโ€™t understand why the drop was so sharp. I had added Athena Balance, which should stabilize the nutrient solution. The only explanation I can see is the heatโ€”we hit almost 31ยฐC this weekend, and I suspect the nutrient solution was heavily affected by the temperature rise. If anyone reading this journal has insights on why this happens, Iโ€™d be glad to hear them. Itโ€™s a bit frustrating, because Autopots are supposed to make things simple. But in reality, I still need to monitor closely, especially since the coco buffer doesnโ€™t seem to be doing its job properlyโ€”or maybe the reservoir just dropped too low and threw everything off. Either way, Iโ€™ll stay vigilant. Hopefully, with summer ending and temperatures cooling down, the solution will stabilize and the pH wonโ€™t swing so much. On the positive side, Iโ€™m still really happy with Athena nutrients. The solution stays crystal clean, no buildup, no deposits, and that makes things a lot easier to manage. So overall: strong growth, healthy plant, but pH management continues to be the main challenge. Letโ€™s see how things evolve next week.

With 33 grams on such a small plant I can't complain. I was amazed on the many hours (3) to clean the buds before curring. Several buds had rotten places because of the yellow leaves, they died and caused this problem Luckily I stopped in time and dived a little bit earlier in harvesting here highness.

Week 2 starts July 24, 2022 Env is hot and humid, she's growing fast - topped last day of week 1, looking to see a quick recovery. July 24, 2022 She's recovering pretty strongly as the pics show and that is less than 24 hrs. I think she looks a little yellow but I always think that, I am slowing down her water a bit, pots are heavyish. I mean compared to the Green Gelato in the tent, everything looks yellow. Dayum. July 27, 2022 You are not gonna believe this, but today, on day 19, I topped AGAIN. The girls are both so healthy, and I have so many plants right now, I just said whatever and swabbed the scissors and did it before I could change my mind. Pics uploaded before top, will take recovery photos soon

But in optimized conditions with LED grow lights you can see occasional monster plants up to 2m tall with XXL yields. Auto Purple OG Punch is easy, potent and heavy yielding indoors. She also delivers well outdoors - such as the balcony or garden. Auto Purple OG Punch is a perfect, powerful strain for a quiet relaxed day. The calming indica body effect is very satisfying and de-stressing

a lot of rain and little sun does not allow the girl to be happy, but it will stop soon:) the girl's leaves are already huge, the girl still has a lot of vegetation time left, so she will grow and I think she will be really big:).
