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.

Today was the day, unfortunately about a week in advance because of an infestation of Mites that reached the buds of all 4 plants left. After reasoning, interrogating AI and watching a video, I had to harvest in advance and I decided to do a washing with H2O2 as per this video explanation of Jorge Cervantes, available at this link (https://youtu.be/S7jE7qzfgQs?si=eC6klOXkWz9eBJO3). I am providing photos and video also of this step I made.

👉The plant finally has its own space. I moved it into the center of the tent and have rotated it to get a closer look at things. I have felt like bad things may be lurking on the far side which I had no access to. Fortunately everything looks good. I did find a couple of seeds forming in the tips of a couple of colas. Since then I have been scouring the plant looking for hermies. I haven't found any, but is a large bush and the hermie could be small. Its also possible that I carried some pollen in from outdoors. While all the farmland around me is cows, the strong prevailing winds could possibly have carried a few grains of pollen and those ended up on my clothes. I didn't see any evidence of the buds filling up with seeds, just the 3-4 with the seeds forming right on the tip. I will know for sure when I do the harvest. 👉I may have stuck with the week 8 mix a week too long, so I moved to week 9 for one batch (2.5gallons) then week 10one the next, I switched to week 11 (Ripen) at the end of the week. The plant had lots of crispy shitty looking fingers in the areas at the top of the canopy and in the strongest parts of the lights. I moved the lights up to 26". I have been trimming out the dead crispy leaves and and seeing more of a normal 'fade' pattern now on leaves all around the plant. I have been trimming off those that have faded for the most part. There are still lots of leaves left. The trichomes are seemingly mostly cloudy, I have not seen any amber. The lower areas have mostly clear trichomes. The buds are not 'normal' in structure. They started out normal sized calixs with normal structure buds, but they stopped 'plumping' and most of the calixs became freakishly large. This is very reminiscent of my Gorilla Glue form last year. The buds seemed to be in a state of suspended animation with no new calix's and all pistols red. When I shifted to the week 9 and then 10 mix, some fox-tailing started and some smallish calixs formed. The temps in the tent have been mid 60's at night and some days in the low 70s. This has given some of the colas a little bit of purple color. The plant is frosty as can be with frost extending well out onto even the largest sugar leaves. The smell is generic funky stank, but with a nice pleasant sweet note. The aroma is very strong and when the breezes are moderate to mild the sweet funky stank can be enjoyed outside my house as well (vented directly outside with no filter). 👉I will continue with the ripen mix of solution till harvest day. I will be monitoring the Trichome status looking for mostly cloudy with very few clears. I took a couple of small larf branches two weeks ago and let them dry, did not 'cure' it. Sticky as hell, and when I toked it it gave a nice buzz that was uppy. It wasn't 'intense' like finished cured buds are, but it was stronger than any larf Ive toked before. Larf is usually sort of an 'empty' high for me and hardly worth the effort of lighting it up, this was good enough to give a nice long lasting pleasant buzz. I cant wait to see what the good big buds will be like!

Nun, in der letzten Woche ist Einiges passiert: Beide Pflanzen wurden in ihre 11 l. Stofftöpfe umgepflanzt und in der Mitte der Woche getoppt. Sie haben es sehr gut vertragen und erfreuen mich mit ihrem Wachstum. Überhaupt sind es sehr schöne Pflanzen mit ihren violetten Blattstielen und den hellgrün- und dunkelgrünen Blättern. Gedüngt wurde nicht, da die neue Pflanzenerde erst einmal genügend Dünger bereit hält. Aber dann habe ich die Blumat Tropfer für die automatische Bewässerung in Betrieb genommen und nun sammelt sich überschüssiges Wasser in der Bodenwanne, was den anderen Stecklingen sehr zugute kommt. So war es aber nicht gedacht. Die genaue Einstellung der automatischen Blumat-Bewässerung ist etwas, dass ich zum ersten Male durchführe, habe also noch keinerlei Erfahrung darin und das Ergebnis sehe ich nun. Immerhin habe ich in den Stofftöpfen eine Drainage eingebaut, sodass die Wurzeln nicht geschädigt werden. Die Stecklinge scheinen das überschüssige Wasser zu lieben. die beiden großen hinteren Pflanzen, sind Mutterpflanzen, die ich seit August am Leben gehalten habe, darunter eine Divine-Seeds Fractal-Mutter, für die immer noch kein Ergebnis im Wettbewerb zur Verfügung steht 😒. Meine automatische Steuerung sieht etwas chaotisch aus, ich hoffe das noch in den Griff zu bekommen.😜 Leider kann ich keinen genauen Wasserverbrauch angeben, da das Wasser direkt aus der Wasserleitung kommt und nicht aus einem höhergestellten Behälter, ich vermute der Wasserverbrauch liegt z.Zt. bei 50-100 ml, ist aber nur eine Schätzung. Ich wünsche euch eine weitere erfolgreiche Grow-Woche und bedanke mich dafür, dass ihr meinen Report besucht habt. Ich nehme sehr gerne Tips zur Blumat Steuerung entgegen....

Day 51, 4th of November 2020: The 3rd day since the lamp switched to be 12/12. I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plants remain in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... They look good and strech is on the way..... Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;)

here are the kids in week 4. man did they blow up! I have fed them 3 times so far. the last 2 times have been with big bloom and grow big. they seem to really like the new soil and nutes. I topped Ursula and started her on LST. I tied down the 24k" ruth" 7 days ago and she just filled the fuck out! so im hoping to have the same results with Ursula. ol Kathy skunk really started to fill in too. I germed the last seed I had and started it in ffof. I have read that ocean forest can burn seedlings ,but its doing pretty well in there. we will just have to wait and see.

Slow, precise, solemn. The Acapulco Gold doesn't run. Don't elbow. It just... takes its space. And he does it with authority. At the sixth week of vegetative, it began to show that calm power typical of true sative: slender branches, sharp leaves, and a structure that is being composed as a natural work of art. It doesn't make the noise of the most flashy, but those who cultivate with heart know it: This is a genetics that knows exactly what it wants to become. ⸻ 💧 Irrigation routine managed with precision: After the forced pause of the timer, I let the plant speak. Just one minute of irrigation a day did its job. The ground breathed, drained well, and she replied: No sign of stress, just balance. ⸻ Weekly nutritional formula: In the 50L tank I kept the flow constant with: • Grow / Micro / Bloom – Advanced Nutrients for the complete base • Sensizym, to keep the root system active and clean • B-52, which gives tone to each leaf and supports the push • ATA Clean, silent but essential for the health of the plant ⸻ 🧠 Growth impressions: The Acapulco is not growing. It's maturing. It's taking its form, like a rebellious bonsai that doesn't want to be contained. The SCROG network is waiting for you... and you will arrive when the time is right. The beautiful one? Every day it gets closer. His pace is slow, but he leaves his mark. ⸻ 🎯 Next goal: Guide her in the quadrants of the net with patience, while the rest of the team closes the vegetable carpet. When he shoots on 12/12, he won't need to chase anyone: The Acapulco Gold will arrive straight to the heart of the flowering, long, tall, intense. ⸻

WELL LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!! My beautiful KOSHER KUSH #1 is already being flushed and will be chopped this weekend!! All these amazing colors are just starting to devour the plants with yellows purples and oranges inching closer and closer to harvest!! I will only be growing TOP SHELF FLOWER for my local dispensary after they reached out to me and pre ordered all of it!! I’m using some flawless finish on a couple of the feedings for flush and the other plants are still on a steady dose of flora bloom/ micro , terpinator , and cha Ching .. after a couple more feedings I’ll start flushing the rest of the girls and making sure no more nutrients is left in those pretty buds!! Till next week guys!!

Hi! First of all, this is my first time in my life. I planted 2 different kind of plants one is autoflowering (Gelato Cookie D'ohpe), Gelato Cookie Doh-ope Auto By Dr Krippling Seeds Gelato Cookie Doh-ope Auto. Ground breaking genetics have gone into the Triple G range. Grand Heft Auto’s genetics main characteristics is its big composition, and heavy yields. Whilst stabilizing their specially selected Girl Scout Cookies strain with the GHA a number of times, they also crossed this with an amazing Gelato Auto. GGG3’s fruits are ripe with aroma’s and flavor. Yields are approximately 80 gr/plant and the aroma from these flowers are special. The taste from these dense, sticky buds are sure to have you coming back time after time for more of this great tasting flower. The other one is feminized (Purple Punch). Purple Punch Feminized Seeds By Barney’s Farm. Purple Punch Feminized Seeds are a 90% indica dominant hybrid. with a combined lineage of Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple this genetic is capable of an indoor yield of up too 700g/m2. Expect aromas of Baked Apple Pie as well as Cherry and caramelised Blueberries. Also expect a short bushy plant with great trichome production and a THC count of 25%. This high yielding, high THC hybrid is an all-round quality genetic with a fast harvest window of 50 to 60 days. Yet another great addition to Barney’s Farms Cali Connection Range. I started counting my day from the day I started germination. 2 different seeds, one is autoflowering (Gelato Cookie D'ohpe) and the other one is feminized from The Bakery Co. called Purple Punch. I started germination by putting them to the water for 12 hours in the evening on Sunday. After twelve hours I put them between paper towels. It started sprouting very quick, the next day I needed to put them to the soil. Purple Punch the feminized one started growing faster, bigger sprout, compare to the autoflowering Gelato Cookie D'ohpe. I started using a 60 W led lamp for the seedling stage this lamp has 2 head 30-30W that was divided for the two plants 30 W each. The next day they came out of the soil and started their life. The Purple Punch was growing faster. First, I had my own made place made of kitchen foil under my computer desk :D, and then I purchased a grow tent which is 140x60x60. I did not use any ventilation the first week and kept the humidity 85-90 percent, and I used trigger spray on the plant also. Watering the first 7 days was 10 ml in the morning and after 12 hours later also 10ml, so every morning and evening 20ml a day. I also used trigger spray to keep the soil wet around and sprayed the plant also. I never use tap water at any stage I buy still water from the shop and they love it. I want 100 percent organic plants so my nutrition will be bat guano mix with acacia honey. My soil mix is Coco coir, perlite mix 70:30 which is mixed with a soil that consists of 20% sphagnum peat moss, 35% garden peat, 10% high-quality organic Worm-Humus, 30% perlite, and 5% Pre-Mix. These two kinds of soil ratio are 50-50 Percent.

19 May 2021 Finally got around to doing the Low Stress Training today. I have all the branches spread out and tied down in order to be able to control how she grows from now until harvest. I’m cultivating her differently from my previous grow. Trying to put some lessons learned to use. Hopefully it works out well. Regardless, it’s going to be a learning experience. Today starts the 6th week of the vegetative stage. I believe I’m going to be able to flip her sooner than expected. Today I fed: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The initial pH was 6.50 and needed no adjustment. The TDS meter was 768 ppm. I fed half a gallon again and still had plenty of runoff. Runoff pH was 6.10, and runoff TDS was 2400. The tent temperature was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 42%. Solution was chilled to 50 degrees F. So far she’s growing well. 21 May 2021 Feeding time again. Blueberry Muffins is looking GOOD! All of her branches I tied down the other day have started to turn upward toward the light. My pH meter is on the fritz, but my records show that the solution hasn’t needed any adjustments since I started giving nutrients. I fed half a gallon of water chilled to 53.3 degrees F with the following: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, & FloraBloom 2.5ml. The TDS was 842 ppm, and the runoff TDS was 2522 ppm. I decided to top the plant today and to try and clone the top myself. My history of cloning is 100% failure, so I’m not holding out much hope. Hopefully this arrests its upward growth for now. 23 May 2021 This little girl needs to CHILL OUT for a while and slow down her growth! It seems like she exploded in growth over night and is growing OUT (wide), and is getting bushy. I have 3, most likely 4 weeks left till I can move her into the larger tent, but I’m going to have to do something! Oh, she looks great by the way. I’m not increasing her nutes till I can flip her! I fed the same as I have been: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. Historically the pH has been between 6.47 - 6.52 without adjustment, so I fed the solution with those nutrients in water chilled to 51 degrees F. The TDS was 762 ppm going in, and the runoff was 2561 ppm. Tent temperature was 80.6 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. 25 May 2021 Today is the last day of week 6 (2 of this diary), and I am going to flip the switch tomorrow starting the flowering stage in the smaller tent with just one light. It is getting bigger by the day, and I also noted some brown spots on the leaves which indicate a possible Calcium deficiency. The CALiMAGic will be increased in the next feeding, but I started giving the new amount today because of the spots on the leaves. I will harvest the DarkStar Kush in my large tent in 3 weeks, so I figure my Blueberry Muffin and her tent mate will do fine for the time in the smaller tent until I can move them. Other than the possible calcium issue, the plant looks great! I fed half a gallon of water chilled to 46.6 degrees F, and added FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The initial/final pH was 6.6 and needed no adjustment. The TDS was 932 ppm going in. Runoff pH was 6.4, and TDS was 2701 ppm. The tent temp was 79.4 degrees F, and humidity was 53%. Projected harvest date is 09 July 2021. Can’t wait to see the colors and the smell!!

Going to yield POUNDs off this girl!! 12/19/23-- Update: Shogun is a big girl- for an INDOOR grow!. She's 3ft tall, and still shows vertical growth! Considering I did not veg long. Shogun popped up out of soil on Oct 4th 2023, and she was switched to flower same day & time as my Royal Dwarf (aka Itty-Bitty) they've both been on 12/12 for over a month now. Itty-Bittyis an Autoflower, and Shogun is a photoperiod. I can see now the difference between Autos& fotos in growth &bud development, Shoguns trichomes have not appeared yet! She's definitely going to be in the flower stage for a few more weeks, perhaps another month? As I said She's in middle of flowering and still showing vertical growth, and to measure HER I use a yard stick now lol I think she's my favorite, along with the Cookies gelato (but don't tell my other plants!)

Sticky beast is waiting for some good sunrays so she can break out of my garden!!😎👏👏👏 Garden is smelling real sweet too, thanks to her 😵👌 I love her structure, i have topped her, but LST was not that necessary.. only defoliation, a lil bit.. i love that bc i hate LST, (im not that good in it..😳) She turned out great, she grew open and wide.. just by herself. 😇👍(maybe also becouse i let her dance in the wind 😎 and move her around a lot) Lots of bad weather this week(cold and wet, she is in greenhouse a lot).. but luckily her buds are still healthy👌 And dont forget: FOR ALL MY GROWBRETHREN/SISTREN IS A DISCOUNT CODE: ZAMMIGD2023 happy growing for all ✊

I stopped giving her nutrition though she seems almost ready. I'll wait a few days and chop her off. Hope she will be as good as the last one.
