didn't know what to expect since its my first grow but I ended up doin a 5 day flush with 5 days of 24 hour light. Dr Bruce Bugbee was discussing whether 48hr of darkness helped, and made the case that having the light would more beneficial for terpene production. Dry time was 21 days with the humidity at 60

Frosty Frosty Frosty! To be a bunch of bag seeds I am beyond happy so far! Have not had very many problems, they have been great with LST and defoliation!

End of the third week of the stretch and they certain out did stretch indeed😳. Had to crop over the tallest female - she just stretched wayyy too much and that’s gonna go against her in the rankings when we draw out our seed on each plant. The first male has dropped fully and the others are another 1-2 days out from harvest. We’ll collect all that pollen and store it for future use if it’s needed. The plants are all showing both similarities and differences - there’s an even distribution of sativa and indica leaning phenos which suggests that there is def. Some variability in terms of traits for this F1 generation. Exactly what we were looking for as we pare this down to the second filial generation. On the overall growth - absolutely no issues at all with nutritional deficiencies which is a welcome change of pace. The last while we’ve been growing some strains that have shown very odd reactions to nute changes and I suspect this is a result of certain strains simply being bred out too far. Hard to say but the radar is definitely up with the well known breeders right now. We have some real winner pheno clones that we’ve rooted and will be flowering out once we get this tent cleaned up and free of pollen. All told, the run is progressing much better than anticipated and with the rate of turnover through transition, I’m happy to say that there isn’t any one plant I won’t consider test running on the next cycle. We did have some og auto genetics in the tent for pollination as well but that plant is looking like a bit of a mutant. Not sure if we’ll even bother with testing it at this point but you never know. Expect a harvest update on the males as we move in to the flowering side of the grow and then it’s just waiting around for seed👍. Alls well for now. Background This project has been a year in strain selection (and another year in the actual making) to get to this point with a viable potential cross. It’ll be a true polyhybrid with a mix of sativa and indica leaning properties for each. We’ve combined an especially powerful hybrid sativa strain of Strawberry with an equally manageable and hard hitting strain of indica dominant Skywalker OG. The hope has always been to combine them and boil out the best characteristics of each. The strawberry is phenomenal in terms of terp profile and a mix of strong head and body effects while the Skywalker is a mind bending, body butter kind of indica with that earthy Kush profile and flowery undertones. The strawberry is prone to botrytis and fasciation but features excellent terps and yields if grown correctly. She’s Also stretchy and somewhat unruly when she gets going. The Skywalker is a contrast in growth characteristics with a squat structure, medium sized buds and excellent resilience and resistance. The plan is to seed out the available females and take cuts of what we can post-stretch to get a closer look at any differing phenos. Still very much early stages for a stabilized new strain but we’ve got the right foundation of solid genetics. Now we just gotta get it off the ground to the next generation👍. We’re predominantly focused on the plants that demonstrate that hybrid vigour and wasting no time with any problem plants or runts. Stay tuned - with a little luck, this cross is gonna be straight 🔥😎👌.

Day 117. Trim jail and heavy upload session for 24 hours at least. Don't like to keep photos, so ill upload each plant separately and will delete them. Phone camera is still cracked and off-focus, but they are all nice ! Day 128. I knew that those plants will be smallest, but Mini was in centre and her buds were still not nuggy nuggy ... sadf ..... #1 67, #2 68 , #3 75 , #4 56. 266 total . 836 from 720W is good, not my best, but good, just that airy quality .... Happy Growing !!!

Sticky dankolicious! I can't friggin wait to smoke this one...prolly tomorrow morning.. It grew like a dream, didn't hog much space and grew an amazingly fat and dense cola. That cola weighs over 40g by itself!!! I'll update after I've tested...stay tuned! Special thanks go out to Wicked_Stix for the opportunity to grow yet another phenomenal strain!👈🙌

So this lady probably could co one more week as I’m getting that second round push of fox tails and more white pistols, but she is also about 10% amber 10% clear and the rest cloudy. I chopped her as these buds are FREAKIN MASSIVE and it’s getting pretty humid in the basement (even with the dehu running 24/7). So I’m chopping a little early to be on the safe side! The speed and quality is amazing! Im super impressed with these fast flowering ladies! I will have to pop more really soon! Smoke and dry weight in a week! ✌️🏻💚

Another week done some great growth from most, the white widow looks like it might still be decent but that's the joys with autos you never know, I put the megapots and autopots i snuck in without mentioning on with week 3 feed as I done it today end if week 2 along with tucking some leaves & I've been spraying the insides & outsides of the fabric pots trying to keep the moisture up around them I don't know why my temps are so high in the day I just think I need to go LED to be honest it goes down to 25 past 5pm . Anything you guys think I could do on top? Also the plemonade fell over so i had to stand hsr up again should be no problem

This two were part of another diary and got moved out due to space reasons at VW8 and moved back indoors at VW20 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/218151-auto-god-s-glue-grow-journal-by-yan402 13.09.25 VW21 Both are looking good and are developing tighter nodes than when they were outside, I'm going to have to keep cutting them back every once and a while I also applied nematodes against thrips and fungus gnats. 20.09.25 VW22 some spots and some yellow leafs, I think it's a root problem, probably root bound, but both seem healthy and are getting thicker so maybe just top up with Coco coir and give a slight different nutrient schedule less Tri Part Bloom could do the trick MAYBE lol. 27.09.25 VW23 Topped up the pots with extra coco coir and trimmed the side roots a bit, both plants were root bound 📹 03.10.25 VW23 did a HST/LST session 📹 12.10.25 VW25 Done a major HST session to try and keep them in line with the Sunset Sherbet GF I have going in the same tent, rest in the video 📹 17.10.25 VW25 ffj/fpj/fish 30 → 60 ml 19.10.25 VW26 it just became a one plant diary, keeping #5, #6 gets it's own diary for testing nutrients. 20.10.25 VW26(?)

MONDAY 5/26 4am put up some readings from last night. I did 10, 10 Con Bloom PLUS 2mL of Bud Factor X. 1230pm WOW I hit the gears just right on BUD FACTOR X!!!... In FIVE YEARS...NEVER GOT IT RIGHT.... This combo worked the chloroplast tanks seemed flat, the X made a visible difference in how puffy the top sugar leaves are and the amount of resin is exactly like the advertisements....finally. There was something I thought was "sludge" in using X with Con. There IS a reaction between Con Bloom Part A, the color one and X. A reaction with amino acids, and protein binding from my observation, not a spoilage or rancid issue. 245pm What a day, I hope my Cuban robot girlfriend has Frank Sinatra playing, oh wait thats Bladerunner. 5/28 The tumor on my neck is getting horrible, I dont go to doctors and I dont call 911 so im going to get several bottles of whiskey and then I will open up the cysts. if I dont die from the infection I should be ok. 350pm Mars Hydro FC1500-EVO 150W 🚨👍 soon 5/29 420am. I HAVE BEEN UPLOADING AND SCREAMING ABOUT VIDEOS NOT WORKING....they ONLY work in NEW VIEW.....goddamnit!!!!!! I just figured it out........ PLANTS LOOK GREAT 5/30 Wating for the new light, should be here soon!! plants are getting top heavy. 4 cola design means I can do a diamond wire shape and they will be self supporting no external SCREENS or messes from that. 5/31 Saturday. MARS-HYDRO got the Samsung version of this light in TENT 2!!! I put on the BLUTOOTH ADAPTER it works great. I measure the amount of WATTS not percent of light but still very very nice works perfectly. MAKE THE APP PASSWORD FIRST OR IT WONT WORK RIGHT!!!! 🚨THE NEW LIGHT IN TENT 2: FC1500-EVO 150W SAMSUNG LED FOR MY RICKY PLANTS!!! The Grimm Seeds are strong as hell and can take the new lights, even at 93W might be too much, I might get to lower the overall wattage and save even more energy that way👍 6/1 SUNDAY THE NEW LIGHT IS MAKING MASSIVE DIFFENCE NICE with the new light!!!

They're getting limey tops and a little serrated so we gave them a full strength dose of calmag earlier today (will doc next week) and moved the light up a few inches..we expect they'll look better in a week or so... We also removed any large fan leaf blocking the center growth.. The Solux350 is kicking ass at 75% power, it looks like plenty of light to the eye however we do intend to run it at 100% after their flowering stretch.. not too much else to report,, great genetics and lighting make for easy weeks!

Been away for more than a week so unfortunately missed week 3 of the diary. During my absence baby girl grew well and became pretty big already, especially considering her state before. Decided to try LST and brought down the top branch. She starts to show couple of white hairs so next week should be the start of flowering. Branch went up well on the next day after tie down. Removed larger leaves blocking the light, baby looks great.

Plants are continuing to ripen, I’m going to start flushing the older one tomorrow. The younger one still has a lot of white pistils, especially on some specific colas, so I’m gonna give it at least one more round of nutes before I start flushing her. These gals have been chugging their water recently, I’m changing the res like twice a week at this point :0 Finally got the first plant that I harvested into cure, pulled a whopping 50 grams from it so I am ecstatic about that, literally double what I was hoping for. These 2 are looking waaaaay larger and fatter so I can only imagine how much they will yield each... I could be looking at a 1/3 lb harvest!!!!
