Day 1 30/12/24 Monday evening. Started the seed off in de-chlorinated tap water and calmag 3ml to 5L pH 6.4. I will use this water for the rest of the week as sprays and transfer water. Day. 2 31/12/24 Tuesday Seed has sunk 🙌 Transferred now to paper towel, sprayed with same water. Covered. Left in cupboard 24hrs untill tap root emerges ✌️ Day 3 Wednesday 01/01/25 nothing yet so left for a further 24 hours. Day 4 02/01/25 Thursday Tap root just emerged! Seed only just cracked. Will leave a further 24hrs for a sustainable tap root. Day 5 03/01/25 Friday Tap root has reach 2/3cm and now been potted up in a 1L pot with cannaterra pro, added perlite, added cococoir, and dynomyco, all watered yesterday to dampen off. . Sprayed top soils today to settle in seeds. Day 6 04/01/25 Saturday Seed has emerged to top of soil level 😁 Moved all seedlings into the auto tent so they can catch the 600w dual hps. Day 7 05/01/25 Sunday The seedlings are here 🙌 She made it through the first week, onwards and upwards 🚀💚 Seed casing will pop tonight I think. Light spray with de-chlorinated tap water and calmag.

11/3 Week 6 Watered roughly one gal each @6.5PH, Fish Sh!t 5ml - Karo 1 tps /gal Flower Girl still in the pot, no deficiencies I can see, well new ones :) Mag-Sulfur Foliar spray (Epsom Salt 1tbs/gal) on all as leaving cal-mag out this time Moved the two healthy plants to the center of the light, they can use it, the others might respond well to lower levels. 11/4 Better pics uploaded Placed Brandy on a block of coco coir to bring her canopy up to Layla's level. Moved Maggie to the corner she has a stretch going that I HOPE is ending and I dont want to set the lights to her. Watching that plant carefully Considering a PK boost watching only Layla for that as the other two ... well hell what can they tell me? 11/5 Working to getting the canopy under control with one stunted plant and another stretching like crazy. Put a block under Brandy to move her up level with Layla. Trained down Maggie this growth needs to end, it was already stressed. Still giving light pref to healthy plants. 11/6 Raised lights three clicks, increased extraction, showing some heat stress in those edges. 11/7 Good results on the heat stress curling has ended. Noticed some improvement also in the tops of Brandy and Maggie, so raised lights another couple of clicks. See if it continues, coming up on a make or break feeding in couple of days. update Foliar Feed All - Epsom Salt 1tbs/gal Well Maggie's came today - To runoff- 1% peroxide - 5ml CalMag - PH 6.8 Hitting Sulfur as hard as I can. Before pics posted Brandy not dry enough waiting Layla just got fed but she got pics too as there are signs of Mag deficiency 1 gal 6.5 PH - CalMag 5ml - Fish Sh!t 5ml - Bio_Bloom 5ml as a PK booster JIC 11/8 Video of plants 24hrs after giving Maggie the h2o2 1% , think she looks better lets see how it goes 11/9 48 hrs after treatment and Maggie is showing great improvement, serious improvement in leaf structure and coloring. Pics at lights out tomorrow new week anyway. Brandy showing some improvement but its early. Canopy is level now so lights set to Maggie being slightly taller ***Last update before the new week.*** May have found ONE of my problems,certainly not THE problem, but one. I have been using lemon juice as a PH UP since we went organic late last spring. Because of all the problems I have been looking into a lot of things further and found that lemon juice begins to degrade as a PH up after as little as an hour. A 6.0 PH water gallon can go to 6.5ish in 24 hours simply sitting in a dark corner in a jug. One can imagine the variances in soil. Why I dont know but I am going back to chemical PH additives post haste in fact its already done.

It's been an interesting week. I had to ask for help with resolving the intense smell coming from my garden... I can smell it from my driveway at this point.. I was advised that I probably turned my fan up way too high, which overloads the carbon filter on the end of my exhaust. I ordered another new one.. turned it down.. and I also had to cut down the cheese auto... all her trichomes were cloudy bit I definatly could have left her for another week... just couldn't handle the smell lol. Ask for help and you shall receive, thanks Growdiaries. And thank you Oozlefinch for the solid advise.. ✌️ I bought a rosin press this week and it's awesome.. she will be used for this grow as soon as things are ready. I cut out my backyard to plan for round #3 for all these plants.. plus a whole lot more! Process/ Environment changes: -Turned down my exhaust fan.. the carbon filter can't keep up with the amount of air being pushed through it.. in the water industry we would call this 'short circuiting'.... The Gorilla cookies is growing well. It's a tall plant with long nugs ( I hope the full out a lot more). I would recommend supporting the branches at this point in the grow. There's a slight smell coming off her and trichome production was late to start compared to most the other plants I have... I suspect she will go past 90 days unfortunately, but I'm excited to see what the finished product looks like. Hitting her with compost teas at a pH of around 6.7 That's it.. I'm on auto pilot at this point.. there's not much I can do except sit back and wait. Thank you Fastbuds

First day of third week, its been 15 days since they got fresh air for the first time! Its been quite amazing to see them grow pretty fast, since this is all new for me im pretty amazed! Plant two, being the one in the middle, has much larger leafs than the others, but i guess thats because its directly under the LED, i wanna start LSD training but tbh i have no idea what to do with so smal space * and i have zero practice with this! Plant two is also showing some yellowing signs on the tip of new leafs which i have to figure out why! asking some help in forums aswell now and see what i can change, i havent introduce them to bloom nutrients yet and that also might be it, will see what to do very soon! Might need to also increase biogrow levels on that one, since shes taking more light than the other two and growing faster, was wondering if switching places between them would help for now im watering them daily each with 0.5L per day, with a 1ml/l of BioGrow, no idea if i should increase it or not, but ill learn

This has been by far the best results I have ever seen. Ladies are all progressing super quickly, I attribute this to the addition of the Blurple light and the brand of soil I am using. Earlier in the week I added some training clips to the Lemon AK & Gelato to better control the structure I was waiting for the stems to harden before I took them off but they seem to be breaking them! Excited to see what this week holds.

26/09 The second week of vegetation has begun, the sprout feels super great, I buried it 2-3 cm, so it looks a little shorter. I will start fertilizing from about the 15th day, until that moment I just pour water with the addition of Piranha 2ml / l, today I poured 10ml from a syringe around the sprout and today it stood all day without a cup under full light Tonight I added to the AD Piranha solution more nutrition for these mycorrhiza fungus in the form of Bud Candy. And carefully poured 5 ml of the solution 2-3 cm from the sprout on one side. Perhaps this will immediately help develop an excellent root system. I continue to occasionally wet the ground for it so that it would be more humid around it, since I have a fairly strong lamp for such a grow box, I think that it can be hot, although other plants felt great at this stage 30/09 Last night I poured her compote with Piranha and BudCandy 2 ml / l each, poured about 500 ml into her eye and lo and behold, she responded with rapid growth, she adds very much every day. I will try to alternate watering with ordinary water so as not to overfeed. And super genetics, she is gaining the thickness of the trunk already!

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 9 with our illustrious Big Cheese Auto is like witnessing a botanical sprint to the finish line, and the excitement is hitting a fever pitch. A massive shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep our green queen in perpetual amazement. Our green sprinter is charging through her ninth week of flowering, and oh my, the acceleration is breathtaking! She's growing at an astonishing speed, embracing her full potential. The Autopot system remains the orchestrator, providing her with a nutrient symphony that propels her towards the grand finale. It's like the final act of a botanical masterpiece. In response to the swift growth, a tactical adjustment is in play. I've cut back on nitrogen (P-Boost) and increased potassium (K-Boost). Picture it like fine-tuning a racing car for the last lap. Nitrogen, essential for vegetative growth, takes a backseat as potassium takes the wheel. Why? Because potassium is a key player in the flowering game, boosting bud development, enhancing taste, and improving overall quality. It's like switching gears for a turbocharged bloom. The trichomes are stealing the show! Their numbers are skyrocketing, covering every inch of our Big Cheese Auto like a blanket of shimmering diamonds. It's like a botanical galaxy forming right before our eyes. The visual spectacle is not just mesmerizing; it's a testament to the plant's potency and readiness for harvest. Ah, the unmistakable scent of cheese is now an aromatic symphony that fills the air. Each day, it becomes more robust, like a crescendo building up to the grand finale. The olfactory journey is now at its peak, promising a flavor profile that will linger in the memory. Our TDS remains robust at 390, and the pH orchestrates a harmonious melody at 6.0. The Autopot and the nutrient adjustments are now conducting a final symphony, ensuring every element harmonizes for the best possible finish. The final grooming session is in progress. The leaf-bending ballet continues, creating an even canopy that bathes in the natural light. Defoliation is like the last-minute touch-ups before the grand performance. It's like preparing for the curtain call of this extraordinary botanical journey. A colossal thank you to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and the phenomenal community. Your support has been the guiding melody of this green odyssey. As we approach the climax of Week 9, the excitement is tangible. Our Big Cheese Auto is not just growing; she's hurtling towards a botanical crescendo. I can't wait to witness the final act of this sprint to greatness. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Genetics -Seeds Mafia Big Cheese Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

She stinks like skunk with some aftertaste ( tried scissors hash already). Now it looks like she had to go couple weeks more, trich mostly milky and leaves after darkness are green, looks like she was beging me to leave her and put makeup to look younger ;))))) We shall see .. Day 157. Boy oh boy ... how i love to be wrong ...;)))) Girl is a record braker. 141 from one plant, my new pure indoors record. Long journey , desent result, she could make in 6 weeks earlier, but she had a crazy life, lets hope it will be crazy smoke ;))) Report to come ....

420Fastbuds FBT2308 Germination Week Time has come yet to start another amazing Tester strain from 420Fastbuds FBT2308. Started germination on 2/7 by soaking the seed in just water for 48hrs then planting it directly in the soil (Roots Organic 707) in a 3gal fabric pot. I spray the top soil with my gallon sprayer keeping it moist for the next week. After 48hrs in the soil we have sprouts that emerged that appear to be healthy and happy. All in all Happy Growing

Day 14 Flowering: Good afternoon Growmies. I hope we are all getting some sunshine and have enjoyed Easter. Munchies and Easter are made for us guys!. lol The 3 Fast girls have been racing to get the tallest during their stretch period so far. It is clear to see the Mexican Airline has the lead there , even with my supercropping her 5th node to try to hold her back a little. She really is a lanky lady and without some l.s.t or tying , she would be very tall.. Bud sites are looking good so far and only time is needed now to see how she plans to fill those stems. Strawberry Pie is similar in height and stretch to the Mexican. Nice airflow underneath and her general size is good. Nice and healthy green with no signs of any issues. Six-shooter is the small girl who doesn't want to be messed with it seems. She is ambling along at a steady pace untouched and is a slightly lighter shade of green to the others by genetics I think now but I will keep my eye on this a little more in case a def hits. They are still stretching slightly but slowing down now. all good and as it should be be safe growmies. until next week

So i had to take all my plants inside because i found bud rot on 2 of them & the weather wasn’t going to get any better, had to transform my bedroom into a grow room😂 & i have 2 more plants which i am going to finish next to a window.. The smaller plant to the right is a Northern light by zamnesiaseeds that has a seperate diary if you are interested! I really hope the bud rot doesn’t spread anymore & if anyone has any tips or tricks for that they are always welcome!

À l'aube du 55e jour le jardin a conservé son allure sereine malgré une petite ombre au tableau : une potentielle surdose de nutriments. Ce léger excès, intervenu alors que je tentais de corriger une carence en azote, m'a poussé à envisager avec prudence les prochaines étapes. L'objectif ? Éviter tout blocage futur dans l'absorption des nutriments essentiels par nos précieuses plantes. Dans cette optique, j'anticipe d'ores et déjà un arrosage exclusivement à l'eau claire dans les jours à venir, espérant rétablir l'équilibre perdu. Ses branches, jusqu'alors discrètes, commencent à s'orner de trichomes. J'espère qu'elle sera terminée dans 4 semaines 🙏 Merci a Louloutre pour son aide si précieuse. Note : arrosage avec nutriments a la 1/2 de la dose. Feuilles jaunes réglées en partie, puis apparition d'un léger excès.

Could have gotten more off the plant of it wasn’t mutated from the get. But oh well I’m not mad about it. I just won’t be growing anything from that company ever again and also won’t be growing old strains anytime soon. I’ve had so much more success with other genetics of different strains from different company’s. The Skywalker from DNA came out amazing. The sour wiz just came down and that’s even better. Thanks for looking.

19.12.24: Ok so the powdery Mildew has appeared again, I have not watered, and the plants are doing well. Bubble Kush is still a bit lanky looking though. I have scooped out the top layer of soil to get rid of the Mildew, again. I then top dressed with;- Biobizz Light Mix, cinnamon, extra perlite, Vitalink Bat guano, and worm castings. Looks like we're are entering very early pre-flower. Really hoping the final stretch will make the plants bigger, as they're still looking small. Compared to my Fat bananas 🍌 in my first grow. Watered in with 300ml per plant containing;- 1ml per litre of Biobizz Bio-Grow 1ml of Biobizz Fish Mix and 1ml of Ecothrive Flourish. Fingers crossed 🤞 Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Hey Growers. It’s going great around here. These girls are happy, healthy and growing like mad. They’ve chunked up so much that they’re starting to lay down. It’s just a couple at the moment so I’ll keep an eye on them and see if intervention is needed. The trichomes are so gritty it feels like table salt between your fingers and the Cali has a orange/lemon citrus and woody scent. The Jack is sour skunk and the cookies Kush is a sweet sugary scent. I’m not 100% sure if they’re fox tailing from light stress or just natural Kush characteristics. I’ll be keeping an eye out for hermie’s and stress. I’ve added some Green Planet Rezin, as I think it’s awesome and helps with aroma and makes oily terps. I’m thinking this will be my last top dress and I’ll probably just do half dose and top up with monster bloom for the next couple waters then drop everything except cal and Rezin. Happy Growing 🌱

Last week of flower. Flushing plants this week with 150 to 200ml water ph 7.0 to 8.0each day Day 76 plants are pretty much ready for harvest. Buds have fattened up a abit. Day 77. Alot more orange hairs. Buds fattening up still by a little. Plenty of milky trichomes. Harder to spot orange trichomes but can see them.
