Plants aren’t doing so well indoors, cold root temps, nutrients are being locked out, soil looks compacted and fungus gnats are still a problem.

She reached the 2nd net 5 days after flipping to 12/12. First signs of flower and female genitals. Even though she was in veg, she smelled so strong.

Day 15 of flowering: reduced the Grow component to 2 ml/L to reduce N at the same time increased the ml of Micro, bloom components to 4 ml/L according to the Advanced Nutrients table Day 20 of flowering: I turned on the air conditioner to keep the temperature level at 23 C Watering volume week 8: Day 15 -21 - 500 ml per day

I water with a lot of water and I plant directly in my mixture of 70% coco, 30% perlite. Water : tap water at 280ppm. I adjust the Ph to 6. Temperature : 24°C Humidity : 60%

She's looking very healthy,maybe a little small for the days she has but it's ok, let's see how she performs.

Buds growing nicely in size. Thrichomes forming on the sugar leaves. Looking nice and frosty!

In LOVE I can't wait to see the bud development.

Decent little stacks starting to form. Awesome aroma. Good frost production. At this point I was falling in love with the strain just due to its propensity to be grown under less than epic conditions. They took to the scrog nicely, despite the looseness of the trellis.

NOTE 1: Afgooey Auto pheno #3 turns out it's a MALE. Resembled nothing like her two sisters ran at the same time. In fact, I had to move her to the 12/12 tent to initiate flowering. Little did I know or expect She would be a He. Lola by the Kinks is rattling round my brain about now ;) FEEL FREE TO HIT THE LIKE BUTTON IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE ;) 2x4 French Macaron - at the time of this posting, FM is heading into week 8 flower. Second extensive flushing w/fresh rain water due to acidic conditions (ph >5). Been struggling with ph the entire flowering. I speculate ph issues due to over feeding. Ph is roughly 5.8 to 6.0 after flushing. At this point, flushing with plain RO water until harvest. NOTE 2: I've introduced two 5 gallon bubble buckets into the 2x4 grow tent. Both buckets have medium air stones running from a 125 gph air pump. Given French Macaron isn't scheduled for harvest until mid-January, I might not have cutting ready. First grow may have to be from seed. Update later. 3x3 Afgooey Autos and clones from previous grow - Afgooey #1 and #2 are firing on all cylinders. #2 running a bit acidic (>5), so flushed back to neutral with roughly 7-8 gallons of fresh rain water ph at 7.0 to 7.2. Same with clones (i.e., ph very low). Flushed with fresh rain water too. A couple days later plants look so much better. Wait till plants nearly dry before next watering. Trimmed and cleaned up three of the clones growing weird. Felt a bit like trimming a bonzai tree. Let's see how they respond.

The environmental system seems to be keeping conditions a lot closer then I could manage using guess work and timers, probably the best investment I have made for growing. #3 Gorilla Cookies FF has recovered completely from the accident last week, considering the top was only hanging on by a few fibres the job I did with the tape has held her together quite well. She has been spread out under the net this week to keep her height in check. She has been defoliated during the week and her lowers that won't see the light have been removed. She started showing pistils at the end of the week.

I topped her this week and she became very bushy within two days. I also changed her into a 10 gallon grow bag and she is loving it! Growing quickly she seems to love all the nutrients she can get !

This week is start of 4th flower week. The plants look good but i need buy some yellow cards. Buds become bigger and start to smell more intense. The lemon haze surprised me, because i germinated her 15 dsys after them other 2 and shes the biggest of them all. Hope, everything will be fine. ✌️ In the middle of the week i took the net away because it seems they stretched finally and they have a good shape now.

The orange sherbet is the smallest of the bunch, but she is doing well. She is younger than the others but not the size they were at her age. I switched the feed to maxibloom this week since the other plants are flowering. Everything is still running smooth. I noticed a couple of the plants start dropping in the evening so I cut the lights back to 18 hours to give them a break. She is starting to pop some pistols so hopefully she will be flowering before the end of next week. I couldn't be happier with the grow so far.

Blue Dream Auto Week 2 of Veg The 2 of these girls are handling the heat wave we've had this week like Champs. I have upped the water feeding to 32oz per day so they seem to be liking it. I have noticed a little curl in the bigger fan leafs but should be fine. All in all Happy Growing everyone.

This grow will likely last > 30 weeks. Since GD only supports 30 weeks of diaries, this "week" will actually last two weeks.

Last week was very challenging, two girls got really tall below the white light, while the other two below the blurple spectrum ended up being smaller and bushier, both looking fantastic. Last week I also probably went too far defoliating the shaded smaller girl which stunned it a bit for a day or two but its flowering vigorously again. Although the unexpected stretch which led to uneven light coverage overally the platns are looking solid, smelly and sugary :)

3/23: Supercropped the two biggest GC's and the big WC, raised lights, removed some platforms, and fed today. 3/27: Fed today 3/29: Stretching is finally slowing a bit...good thing, I'm out of ceiling space...
