WEEK #22 - SLOW AS A DEAD SNAIL First, i downscaled the photos and used the affinity standard balance filters. Do the photos look better now? Maaan, either i have problems with my eyes or nothing is happening. Well, nothing but shitty, crispy leaves on Slush Mint Cake, although i have watered a bit more the last days. Have i done something wrong on the final stretch? Seems like it. Might be "stress" from switching brand of fertilizer last minute, maybe pH off/a bit too low (seems like sub 6.0 1 or 2 times), or not watering enough the weeks before and now the plants are just too senior with small-ish buds. Or do YOU know any reasons for that? Next run will be just standard max. topping. As SMC will be harvested somewhat soonish (likely a few buds each day in the upcoming week - depending on how much time i have to spare) i took a bunch of photos and details (let's see what the maximum capacity of GD is 😇), however again no real progress in amber trichomes. You've got me stumped. SMC: Took a little test nugget during last week, and another one today. The smell ist still super delicious: fresh-lemony-sweet-frutiness. And the blossoms just do look pretty pretty. 😍 Skywalker: Your time will come! SUPPOSED duration of bloom: Skywalker 9-10 weeks / SMC 8-9 weeks IS: 12 weeks ..and the calyxes of SMC do look prety decent, although not thickest buds. Next update might be a harvest post!

Aug 15: Gorilla Cookies Fast is looking great with a nice and even 16 cola manifold filling in with lots of buds. The Plagron nutrients seem to be working nicely. Here at 53 N latitude we run out of strong sunlight, particularly UV light, starting in mid-August. I use UV lights from AC Infinity on days with no chance of rain. These are indoor lights so they need a bit of extra attention when using them outdoor, but it’s easy and worth the hassle.

She is looking good haven’t watered in a while as the continuous rain helped. I’m doping she can gain more height in the next 2 weeks as I intend to flower her into the dry season.

Let's realign our cosmic compass and embark on a harvest report for our magnificent Cosmos F1, a pure CBD strain that has taken us on an extraordinary journey. Brace yourself for cosmic revelations and interstellar delights! After an impressive 11 weeks from seed and 7 weeks of flowering, the time has come to witness the cosmic culmination of our efforts. I carefully hung the entire Cosmos F1 plant to dry, allowing the cosmic energy to infuse every inch of this botanical marvel. It's a sight to behold, with majestic branches reaching for the cosmos, reminiscent of a cosmic dancer frozen in time. As our cosmic queen gracefully dries, her vibrant hues continue to amaze. The shades of green, intertwined with delicate hints of purple and gold, are a testament to her genetic splendor. It's as if she has absorbed the cosmic essence of the universe, transforming it into a visually stunning spectacle. Now, let's talk about the cosmic power of CBD. Our pure CBD strain holds the key to a transformative experience. With minimal psychoactive effects, this cosmic treasure offers a realm of therapeutic benefits. It's like a cosmic massage for the mind and body, soothing and relaxing, allowing us to explore the depths of cosmic tranquility. The decision to hang the entire plant for drying is a testament to our dedication to preserving the cosmic integrity of our harvest. By allowing the branches to hang freely, we encourage a slow and controlled drying process, ensuring that the cosmic essence remains intact. It's a ritual that honors the plant's journey, preserving its cosmic magic for us to enjoy. As we eagerly await the cosmic transformation, let us express our gratitude to the celestial forces that have guided us on this cosmic odyssey. The cosmos has aligned to bring us the extraordinary Cosmos F1, a gift from the cosmic garden gods themselves. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the cosmic harmony orchestrated by @James and Royal Queen Seeds. In the coming days, our dried cosmic buds will be ready for the next stage of our journey. From cosmic concoctions to cosmic culinary delights, the possibilities are infinite. Imagine infusing the cosmic power of CBD into soothing teas, cosmic creams, or cosmic confections. The universe is our canvas, and with our cosmic harvest, we can create cosmic masterpieces. As we bid farewell to our Cosmos F1, let us cherish the cosmic memories we've shared. The vibrant colors, the pure CBD power, and the cosmic connection we've established with the universe. May our future endeavors be as cosmic and awe-inspiring as this one. Until we meet again, my cosmic friends, lets keep exploring the cosmic wonders, nurturing our cosmic gardens, and let the cosmic energy guide our cosmic creations. May our harvest be abundant, our cosmic experiences be enlightening, and our cosmic journey be filled with celestial blessings. As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on

Just watering and waiting...🤤 How many days do you think?? Please lmk

Week 3 By week three, the plant begins to show a clearer structure, though some irregularity remains. Internodal spacing is slightly inconsistent, giving the plant a somewhat uneven appearance. Leaf edges are mostly clean, but a few leaves show mild shape variation. The plant is clearly alive and developing, just without the balance and symmetry seen in stronger examples. I stressed her at begining and she goes into flower ,thats bad for me :/

The plant on the right has stretched and has taken over. It is about 3 times the size of the plant on the left. I have not used any added nutrients yet for this grow beside The Osmocote plus that I mixed directly into the soil when I planted the seeds. SO far their doesn’t seem seem to be any deficiencies but at some point during flowering I plan on giving them some miricle grow bloom booster if they seem to get hungry.

Hi Growmies, So far she is developing very nicely. Had someone from the community suggest plant success orca and Rezin to me, sp these were added for the next weeks feed to prepare the pre flower. The roots have started to nest themselves right above the airstone. As of now I think I’ll give her two more weeks and then flip her, as she is stretching a bit slower than I thought she would. Thank you all for passing by and see you next week.

cant beleve how strong and powerfull hilant is.she still has spidermites sh doea not have a single healthy leave but look at her how mighty she is!!! look at her trichoms!! she deffinitly will be immy next growlit!! RQS i am speechless well now aboutthe mites i amspreyigher with neemoil and somlocal organice pesticide bacteries. i know about the neem oil in bloomingfase but i did nothave other option so .... happy growing and stilll thankyou RQS

All is well, did a bit of defoliation, felt like I over done it but they came back stronger. Lime green early flower stretch going on. 🤗 Really enjoy growing. So rewarding.

Started to flush my plant today ... I love the smell of this plant it’s sweet as they come

So this week they have definitely stopped growing in height and now time to fill out they have definitely got heavier as I have had to tie a few more colas up good signs and they have started to smell really sweet 😋 Happy Times Happy Growing 😁 🌿 Keep Safe 😁

Day 36 Moby Dick it's at 28inches in height and Blue amnesia is at 32. and because the smell has become too strong to contain in the tent I turn on the carbon filter fan 24/7 instead of intervals of every 2 hours on for 30 minutes so now my tent it's not so hot and my plans drink less water every 3-days. I will keep updating . day 38 the plants are stretching very fast I'm forced to raise the light everyday the blue amnesia is 39 in tall and the Moby Dick it at 32 inches tall I resumed regular feeding schedules on the plants and they seem to be growing even faster after each watering. Thank you for reading and have a happy grow. Day 42 They continue stretching pretty fast blue amnesia it's at 42 inches and Moby Dick it's at 33 3/4 inches. I only have noticed some lower fan leaves turning yellow and drying up I'm going to stop nutrients for the next one to watering sections because I think I've been pushing the plant too hard but it could be normal I just don't know. I posted two Fan leaf pictures to see if somebody has an idea what it could be but I think is probably too much nutrients I will continue updating thank you for reading happy growing. Day 44 definitely the issue is my fault pushing it too hard. They have nitrogen toxicity they have all the symptoms the claw leaf the weakness of the leave the yellowing and purple color of some branches the Deep shiny green on the leaf. the fact that I've been pushing that pretty hard I already have water them twice with clean water ph 6.0 hoping to use up all the extra in the pot and I will do it one more time from two days from now and then trying new nutrients at 1/3 full strength. .they seem to be responding well but if they start losing to many leafs i well flosh them in the shawer. Day 46 because I saw my plans going downhill pretty quick I decide to test Runner run-off it was incredibly High / 4000 + PPM so yeah to the showers they went until runoff was 1000 or below PH was at 6.2 and for the next watering in 3 days from now approximately depending on temperature and thirst of the plans I will resume flowering nutrients only and maybe only at 600 PPM the plant took a beating as well since I have to remove the scrog net and they were being support only buy it but I had no choice it was to see then die and then start over again or giving a flush so they can recuperate and take it slow for a few days until they can handle more nutrients. My hands end up being very sticky handling the buds even though I did it as gently as humanly possible so they were packed with sticki Racine even though they were stressed out what incredibly robust genetics. I will continue updating thank you for reading and have a happy grow. Day 48 the plants seems to be bouncing back they lost a lot of fan leaf at the bottom and some of the ones that were turning yellow at the top develop marks . One off the blue amnesia was more affected than the other three plants I will probably hold nutrients for it only for this plant. They stop stretching as much the blue amnesia are measures 44 inches and the Moby Dick is at 40 inch after the flush the buds are getting fatter and bigger every day . thank you for reading and have a happy growing

Day 109 Its time to harvest the Juicy Zkittlez from seedsman 😇😇. I loved doing this project and it was my first try with my training on an autoflower, it was really motivating. A compact and frosty circle of heads, I couldn't have asked for better. So heavy that I had difficulty holding it with one hand for photos. Training : She received my hand manipulation training from the 8th day. I cut the head on day 19 to have my base on a manifold and work more quickly on my 4 main branches. Then I continued my training as much as possible to develop the structure before installing the scrog. I made a summary of photos on week 5 of flowering to see the evolution. Harvest I harvested almost 11 ounce , 10 ounce and 23 g. My training was based on quality and I'm really not disappointed with the minimum amount of nutrients she received. And it wasn't perfect for the first try with my new equipment.

This run was definitely a rollercoaster. Unfortunately, one phenotype turned hermaphrodite during flower and had to be removed. Luckily, the second plant completely made up for it and exceeded all my expectations. During the final week, she received only reverse osmosis water with CalMag. Before harvest, she spent 48 hours in complete darkness. After that, I chopped the whole plant and hung it to dry at 20°C and 55% RH. I left all the fan leaves on because I expected the humidity to drop over the following days, helping to slow the drying process. The plant developed an incredible purple fade and became absolutely covered in trichomes. ❄️ The main cola stretched more than expected instead of bulking up, but the buds still finished dense, sticky and beautiful. The terpene profile is one of the most unique I've experienced. The aroma is sweet, sugary and slightly gassy. On the inhale it's sweet and almost jam-like, while the exhale turns spicy. 🍓🌶️ Definitely not a flavor profile for everyone, but I really enjoy it. Effects are strong, relaxing and long-lasting. Because I enjoyed this phenotype so much, I already kept a clone as a backup 🌱 and will definitely run this strain again. Despite losing one plant to hermaphroditism, the keeper proved that Chicken N' Wafflez has a lot of potential. Overall, I'm very happy with the final quality. Beautiful colors, heavy frost and a truly unique terpene profile. 💜
