Commencing Week 8: day 50 on January 19th Update is late my sincerest apologies. I will make it up by giving a very thorough smoke report when all is done. Otherwise all is going very well 😁😁👏👏 On day 50 I took the head off of bloody skunk. I checked trichome colors under USB microscope. At least 90% fully milky-white with maybe 5 or 6% Amber and the remainder clear. 😁 On day 55 I gave all of the plants a fan leaf trim including the remaining bottom half of bloody skunk. as I sit here and think about it I believe this will help with ensuring the entire plant ripens and matures at the same time - versus the tops being ready before the bottoms. I still plan on letting the bottoms of all these plants go way beyond the recommended time to see if I can initiate the process of rodelization. Either way I am glad to report that Bloody skunks pollenization looks like it is resulting in some seeds. (See photo). In hindsight my only concern is that because the plant finished a bit earlier than I expected the seeds may not make it to full maturity but I believe it should be okay we'll just have to wait and find out. That being said besides the bloody skunk being done just a few days early everything else seems to be right on time as described in plant profiles on company websites.👍 That's all for now thank you for your patience and attention and support and as usual feel free to leave any suggestions comments or questions and I'll do my best to get back sooner rather than later 😁

112 days!!!! This week was very difficult for the girl, because it rained a lot, but from today the weather forecast promises only good weather, I hope it will be so, next Saturday, I'm going on a long vacation, the girl will be without me for 3 weeks, so I won't be able to hide her from bad weather, I will leave the automatic watering which I will control via wifi, once a week I will ask a person to come to water with nutrients and take photos, :) so there will be weekly updates, but with fewer photos:) good luck to everyone :)

Day 78. Visited outdoors garden. Girls in ground grows way bigger than in pots. Biggest strain Lemonade Og. Same as indoors all Whiteys almost finished. My friend does this run, i had no time, all they got is my soil mix and fishmix by biobizz in veg. Those Autos are really good, but all so different, pattern stays the same indoors vs outdoors. Indoor girls can't get back. This is 4sure my last attempt in mixing outdoors with indoors, girls never loved it at mines. One Whitey is almost done, she needs just good flush for a week plus, in two weeks both Diesels will go aswell. Lemon Og is the long runners, but like i predicted, they grow huge plants, just not in this run ;))) Ill give a go for Whiteys and Lemon Ogs indoors one day soon, despite my promise not to grow Autos ... ;)))) Maybe i give FastBud a go vs them. Have big respect to theirs products. Day 81. Had too easy 3 night shifts, even was answering grow questions ,))) So ... Came home and did what i had to do - Great Flush. As suspected Whiteys are smallest, fastest to flower and fastest to finish, one will be chopped in a week. Lemonade OGs are bigest, but latest to flower. One Diesel has really nice colours, but its DEFICIENCY ;))) Anyway, can't get my issue, maybe its not light shock, maybe my roots don't get same airflow as in greenhouse, where they basically stand on two planks with good gap in-between and even after. For next grow ill buy trays .Always doubted do i need them, but sometimes i do, so its time for upgrade. I wanted to get answers and made proper flush. Each plant got 50 Liters of water 7.0 ph and after that : 80 ppm, 6.2 ph , 1Liter for each plant to reload soil ph. Future will show, or maybe will confuse me even more ;))) I am not expecting any harvest from those autos, i gave away more than 20 plants, those where left purely for taste, but to crack why my plants from outdoor don't grow inside, i would love to. Happy Growing !

📅 Week 11 | 🗓️ Day 71–77 Day 77 – 3-4 week of flower 🌸 Lemon Cherry Runtz 🍋🍒 🔸Lemon Cherry Runtz is really kicking into gear this week. Buds are swelling up nicely, calyxes are plump, and the white pistils are shooting out like little antennas in every direction. Resin production is in full swing – the tops are already frosty, sparkling under the light, and the colas are stacking beautifully along the main stems. 🔸Leaves are looking strong and healthy – deep green with some subtle purple hues showing on the edges. No clawing, no deficiencies, and no signs of overfeeding, maybe she could use a little more nutrition.. Sugar leaves are already coated with trichomes, which is always a good sign that the plant is cruising in the right direction. 🔸This week I kept it simple: only water. I also cranked the SANlight up to 100% to push temps up a bit, and it worked out great. Daytime VPD now sits right around 1.4–1.6 kPa, which is the sweet spot. Climate is steady, airflow keeps everything dry, and the buds are staying fresh and compact. 📈 Current Conditions (Day 77) 🌡️ Day = 24.7 °C 🌡️ Night = 18 °C 💨 Humidity = 56.1 % 🌬️ VPD = 1.4 – 1.6 kPa 🔦 PPFD = ~1000 µmol (12/12) 🛠️ Setup (unchanged) 💡 2 x SANlight Evo 4-120 @100% ⛺ 120 x 120 x 180 Spiderfarmer tent 🍯 Pots: 18L fabric pots 🌱 Soil: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: BIO Tabs 🌱 “Easy, organic, only-water method. Save 15% with GDBT420. biotabs.nl/en/shop/”

General —— Plant is doing fine. Had no issues this week and the devlopment looks solid. Hope she will stretch a bit more in the next week so that the fems can use the trellis once they are far enough. Nutes —— Gave her Bio PK 5-8 for one time which was a harsh feeding as I mixed it with all the other nutrients. Other than that I'm watering 1.5L of Water every 3 days with CalMag and Horsetail Extract. A bit of nutrient burn on the lower leaves but nothing to worry about Light —— Bumped light from 120W and 30cm distance to 210W and 40cm distance by end of this week. DLI is around 40 at the moment. Defoliation —— Removed some leaves in the middle so that everything gets light. Also removed some leaves from the bottom which were shaded. Will remove branches that don’t make it end of Week 6

Too Tall, Almost touching LEDs and lightburn is becoming an issue as well as the outer parts receiving too little light. After some more desperate attempts at LST and even fumbling the scrog net on top again..... The girls need to move out of the budget home and get something proper! Never thought the additional growth during flowering is this much x)

Besides her twiggy stature, she’s a good high, very fruity in scent, feed back from a friend, after smoking a joint he felt mellow, he loved that it’s not harsh on the throat, very smooth, and for a person who smokes weed with tobacco, he finds himself smoking clean green when smoking it. I forgot to create a questionnaire, but with the new cycle that will be prioritised. I cannot take his opinion as the gospel truth, I need more feedback.
