Today is the harvest day for Red hot cookies. To be honest they were ready to chop after 7 weeks of 12/12. One green poison and one gorilla girl which is more indica leaning are also ready and I think I ll chop them too. Two gorilla girls and two green poisons still have some days to fully mature, bu its a week tops. One of the Red Hot cookies showed these beautiful dark purple, orange, yellow combination on its leaves which I always dreamed of having in my garden. Im super happy :) Combined with the ridiculous frostiness in the middle, she's definitely one of the most beautiful plants I've had so far. Cheers everyone.

BLUE CUSH 35 Days from sprout. Light training. Leaf tucking and pony tailing. Pony tailing seems to help with the side branching. She is genetically a small plant I believe, but she might be smaller then expected.. Possibly due to lower RH early on. Otherwise she seems to be doing ok. Attempted a layer of clay pellets after soaking in PH'd water for 16 hours, to combat the gnats from reaching the soil. I feel like sand may have been a better choice and removed the clay before feeding again. There are so few gnats that its not much of an issue, but I'd like to eliminate the threat before flowering really kicks in.

Gave them their monthly feeding a few days into first week of flower with Gaia Green organic dry amendment slow release fertilizer. It really has allowed me to focus solely on watering technique and grow environment without worrying about over/ under fertilization. Plants and I love the product! Posting an update tomorrow of end of week 1 flower pre-flower. Cheers 🍻

They survived the nutrient burn pretty well that they got from early transplanting. All have been connected to the autopot tank. The Mango Sherbet has been topped, the Apple Blossom and one OCP have been mainlined. Especially the Apple Blossom is growing like hell. Never had better genetics so far. Even though I topped/mainlined them there hasn't been any slow down or still stand in growth at all. Also I've connected the pump to the airdomes on the first 3 in the lower row as the leaves already reached the edges of the pots.

Amazing week for the gorilla cookies in Coco as I notice with the last ones they were hungry I decided to take a risk and start this one off in 400 parts per million this week. And it's working great. I will level them out for a couple feeds just to get them used to that. What I have come to realise is that the only thing about these plants now is that they've just got the auto flower in genetics. Everything else is photo . Amazing work fast buds have done over the years. Thank you for looking at my diary and we'll see you next week.and remember it's 420 somewhere 🌱👍

Went to do some lst on the girls a couple of days ago and they have really started to become pungent! Will have to hook up my carbon filter asap. The left plant is 17 inches, while the right is 14. She is also looking a few days ahead in terms of bud development, but at this point they're close enough where I should be able to harvest them together. I am thinking it is because the left plant has the 200w light, while the right has the 100w. In theory, I could either move them together or swap positions every couple of days, but I am interested to see how the wattage affects each plant. I keep posting a few days early, but today is day 48 of the grow, so almost 7 weeks in. I feel like they are on track to finish in about 5 more weeks, but who knows? Hopefully they continue to progress, and I will have another positive update for you next week!

At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG. This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil. The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products! Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds. I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I? I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy. I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn. What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies. So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week! Hug Bud PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.

Apologies for the delayed update. The grow goes on.... I was planning on harvesting last week, but I decided to let her go a little bit longer because she is packing on some good weight and the trichomes are still milky with hardly any amber. I think I'm going to let it go one more week. The flush is starting to take effect now. The leaves are start to change colour.

Easiest week so far, no problems just growing. I did spray some neem oil on my soil a few days a go to keep pests out of the fox farm soil. Week 4 will bring in topping after the next node grows in, should be 2 or 3 days. Also towards the end of the week after she recovers from topping I will begin LST. Will provide pics throughout the week Posted first vid in real light not my 600 watt LED. Mainly for health purposes. This will be so interesting to see how blueberry will develop after an accidental FIMing lol. Personal Note: Wait to top when there is a full mainstem and not barely new growth. Meaning wait til the new growth has 2 fan leafs spread out, and not when they are just leafs barley sprouted from the main stem. Rookie mistake number 1 so far at the end of week 3. Or maybe time will tell if blueberry will be gracious enough to be a beautiful big buded tree. I read where FIMing can develop up to 4 extra colas and still grow beautifully. Fingers crossed.

Wow she's grown 34cm this week!!!! Monster!!!!!!!!!! I wish I knew what she was!!! If I had to guess a breeder I'd say this seed came from FastBuds as it was their type of container.... But what exact strain? I have no idea whatsoever. 😭

She's looking very very healthy and still trying to give her a perfect shape before I hit flower or before I changed the light cycle if you would. So let's see how this lady performs!

Our Amnesia X3 Turbo Feminized from Seeds Mafia has now reached week 10, and she looks absolutely stunning! The buds are dense, covered in shimmering trichomes, and continue to emit a sweet, fruity aroma that fills the grow space. Her structure has matured beautifully under the net, and she’s showing all the signs of a successful, healthy flowering phase. We're maintaining stable conditions: Daytime temperature: 28°C Nighttime temperature: 21°C Humidity: 50% Light schedule: 12/12 CO₂ is still in use to support final bud development. Nutrient support continues with Xpert Nutrients, helping her ripen properly with all the essential minerals she needs. Huge thanks to Seeds Mafia for the amazing genetics and to Xpert Nutrients for consistently powering her progress. We're now approaching the final stage and eagerly waiting to enjoy the fruits of this beautiful journey!

here is the time of my mistake, I thought it was an auto seeds, its fast version with more photopheroid genes, I started watering with fertilizers to bloom. Light still 20h

Day 16 Veg : Holy molly these girls have impressed me this week. I started with barely seedlings and now at the beginning of week 3 above the soil , they are going for it. Seeing the LOS girl#1 slowly start to gain a little more green to her leaf finally has me thinking the soil is becoming active now. The coty leaves are still all looking ok and not even nibbled by them. I wonder if autos can bypass them when resources are there for them ?. So far the coco girls have been consistently getting bigger but the LOS seems to have spurted up in their pots. They all had a treat of a life-cycle feed a few days back which seems to have accelerated them all a little too. No doubt their ruderalis genetic also is a huge help but no signs of deficiency besides the paling , so all good in the world. I am curious to see when the first signs of flower kick in now the 2 week mark has passed. Training starts soon.
