this week I defoliated so many leaves and continued LST. EC is around 1.0 this time. Everything is going well.

VT16 – 12.10.2025 Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich insgesamt eigentlich ganz gut – vielleicht etwas langsamer durch das Topping, aber im Großen und Ganzen bin ich zufrieden. Leider habe ich bei zwei Pflanzen erste Mangelerscheinungen festgestellt, und zwar einen Cal/Mag-Mangel. Ich vermute, dass durch das Gießen nach dem 1/3-Verfahren ohne zusätzliche Nährstoffe die Reserven doch schneller aufgebraucht wurden als gedacht. Die Erde ist außerdem noch relativ feucht bzw. im mittleren Bereich, was das Nachgießen etwas erschwert. Trotzdem habe ich mich dazu entschieden, vorsichtig rund um die betroffenen Pflanzen etwa 650 ml Nährlösung zu geben. Ich bilde mir ein, schon erste Verbesserungen zu erkennen. VT17 – 13.10.2025 Heute habe ich bei allen drei Pflanzen die vier Außentriebe mit Pflanzenhaltern weiter nach unten fixiert. Das habe ich in früheren Runs auch so gemacht und damit gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Man hätte eventuell noch etwas warten können, da die Fixierung jetzt ziemlich nah am Stamm sitzt – aber ich denke, das ist halb so wild. Alles in allem bin ich mit der Entwicklung zufrieden. INFO: Ich habe die beiden Pflanzen mit den Mangelerscheinungen nach dem Düngeschema der dritten Woche gegossen – mit Ausnahme von Cal/Mag, das ich um 0,5 ml erhöht und an meine Wasserwerte angepasst habe.

Really good week but the plant is still stretching. It really needs to stop otherwise I expect problems. Really loving the extra feeds made possible by the automatic watering, which will really be tested this week as I'm away for work. If anything goes wrong nothing can be done to rectify until Saturday. Fingers crossed it's smooth sailing anyhow. Bud sites a plenty anyhow, just hoping they continue to grow and finish off fat and juicy.

d.79. done alittle lst in order to get some of the colas away from the hot zone.. gotta be creative when it all grows too close to the light 😅. big lady she is and really smelly nice!. also

Bring on the flip! They all look good and healthy.

I think I solved the BJ issue. I think they are heavy feeders and have since been blasting them with 1900-2100 ppm and they havent quite gained all their green back but are on their way to it. Cz cakes are all kicking ass. Nugs are starting to fill in and connect where they previously ddnt. Trichomes are going nuts. Super juiced on that. Smell is starting to leak into the hallway. :)) No real concerns at the moment aside from feed the fuck out of the bjs. 3 wks left (including this week) for the Cz cakes. 4-5 wks left (including this week) for the BJ. Crazy how the BJ colas are looking only half way through their flower period.

Almost harvest time! One more week to go! I switched my light schedule from 20/4 to 18/6 for the last week. Leaves continue to die off and turn yellow. The buds are getting fatter. I am starting to see amber in the trichomes. I trimmed off the lower twig-like branches which contain popcorn nugs. I am going to feed her PH balanced water for the last week. See you all harvest time next week!

Transplanted to 40l container on week 4 day 1. Container has approx 30l in it. Also added a photo of the setup for size reference. Let me explain my thinking behind the repotting strategy. Firstly I should say that I am quite an old school kind of grower, although I've never grown cannabis before I have grown hundreds of other plants. Due to my experience with other plants, I understand the value of well planned and executed transplants, they can have an absolutely transformative effect upon root systems when done properly, as far as I know it's the main reason why they are done at all. It is fair to say I have never grown any auto-flowering plant indoors before, and I have read all about how you should not transplant autos, and all the good reasons why not. Ultimately though, as I am not called UnorthadoxDude for nothing, I believe that I can make it work with an auto, and get the benefit of improved root growth pattern, without delaying or interrupting the growth. I want to have my cake and eat it, as it were. So the strategy is to avoid transplant shock, which admittedly I have already failed in the first unplanned transplant, but in my hopeful naivety I still believe I can make the second one work! I'm using coco, and I have had the larger pot prepared and have been watering and feeding them as well as the plant. If I am careful not to disturb the plant at all, and move the entire contents of the pot gently into the larger pot (which is exactly the same medium in broadly the same state), then I may be able to avoid shocking the plant and just let it crack on. We will find out in a few days! If it stops growing or slows at all then I failed, otherwise it worked! A note about my use of organic nutes with coco. I have read a lot about coco and nutes and microbes and PH and TDS and what have you, and I know that the overwhelming majority of people believe that you can't or at least shouldn't use organic nutes with coco. The thing is, I like organic gardening, I prefer to cultivate a beneficial microbiota and keep it healthy. I recycle, and reuse all my compost except where a plant is diseased and this has worked well for me for a long time. I've never grown with coco before though, I always used soil. I wanted to gain the benefits of coco (better drainage, more air to roots, lighter, less inviting to pests, etc) - but I wanted to use a method of nutrition that I was already familiar with. I think I've mentioned that I am not called UnorthadoxDude for nothing, so I am using BioBizz and coco. By adding bacterial, mycorrhizal, and trichoderma inoculants and having the unplanted coco in the tent being fed and watered I hope to have cultivated a nice microbiota which will feed my plant. That's the theory. However just in case, I have a trick up my sleeve. Now, I do not know if you are aware of this, but there is a fiery debate raging on the internet about using BioBizz organic nutes with coco for cannabis. Some people try it, most people shout it down, and I have not found much in the way of solid evidence of it being a good idea. Except one! I found a commercial grower that has used biobizz nutes, and he said that as long as you are using "Acti-Vera" you can use anything from the BioBizz organic range. Apparently the enzymes in the mix break down nutes chemically in a similar way to what the theoretically missing microbes do. So I have ordered a bottle of that, and if my microbial cultivation attempts don't work out, I at least know I have a fallback that should work. Those are my thoughts on it, let's see how it pans out. Oh I should also probably point out that I am growing some companion plants, specifically alfalfa (nitrogen fixing), basil (improved flavour), and German Chamomile (increased essential oil production). Update week 4 day 2 dropped PH to 5.8 after advice from a grow question. Look! It's carried on growing... maybe there was no transplant shock? Update week 4 day 3: Growth continues, interveinal chlorosis lessening. Plant is pushing out node five at the moment. Update week 4 day 4: Growth continues, interveinal chlorosis further lessening. Apologies for the poor quality photos for the last few days, I was lazy and didn't want to move everything out to photograph. Today I have done that and the pic is better. I am declaring the second transplant a complete success. I do not believe that plant was in any way shocked. Update week 4 say 5: I think I've finally managed to overwater. Going to skip watering today. Update week 4 day 6: Photo taken just before lights on hence wilting. Growth continues to accelerate. I believe the alfalfa has been raising the PH so I've removed it. Today I will flush through with PH lowered water and then fertigate. The colour is still too pale but the growth and overall look and feel of the plant screams to me that it's happy and about to explode. Day 27.5 flushed with 30l of PH lowered water then fertigated with 5l. Day 28: Height 12cm Width: 28cm Nodes: 6 Weekly growth data: From 5cm Height to 12cm +140% From 12cm Width to 28cm +133% From 4 primary nodes to 6 +50% Summary: Wow, wow. Wow. What else can I say. What a crazy week, amazing and unexpected given the problems. I am really excited to see what happens over the next seven days!! It looks like it has quite severe chlorosis, but otherwise seems robust and is seriously stretching. Almost unbelievable growth. Pre-flowers appeared a few days ago, so I guess this was the final week of veg. Let's see how the first week of flowering stretch goes! Update 7/2/23: My instincts about this plant on week 4 day 6 were absolutely correct, she was happy and, she was about to explode. Since my early attempts at transplanting, I practiced multiple times with Citronella (a photoperiod plant) and then I did it again with an auto (Polly) - this one went flawlessly and further demonstrates that you can transplant an auto without shocking it. Time will tell, because I can compare Polly to both Misty and Nesia both of whom were sown directly in their final pots.

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati qui con me le sorelle Mimorange.🍊😉 Ci siamo! Fra un paio di giorni taglierò loro. I buds sono estremamente compatti, profumati e di un colore favoloso, come potete vedere nei ravvicinati delle apicali.😍 Ho eseguito un lavaggio delle radici massivo nel giorno 92 con ben 20 L di acqua ciascuna per pulire bene e poi dopo aver aspettato che asciugasse per bene, ho innaffiato loro nel giorno 96 con 1,5 L di acqua.💪 Nel giorno 98 ho eseguito anche una voluminosa defogliazione per dare concentrare le energie suo buds negli ultimi giorni.👍 Eh niente ragazzi! Anche per questa settimana è tutto. 👊 Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti.🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱 🌱

Sooooo impressed with the size & quality of the buds😳 Super dense & sticky✂️ The smell is sweet fruity mix berries🤤🍓

Buds getting thicker now. Doesn’t look the best due to the overdose but is frosty and will see how she smokes.

I received the clones from An out of province breeder. It reached me after three days of driving on the road with no light. Their future was not certain. I didn’t think I would need that many fans for the clones because they are so tiny, I figured they didn’t need that much maintenance. I was 100% wrong when I’m working with this many plants. I ended up getting mild mildew on top of the soil on the first week because there was barely any air circulation. At this point I didn’t have any Ventilation put up yet. And one fan on the floor. I ended up installing three fans in one room. No issues

Pre-harvest flush week. Managed to take some macro images of the lovely sweet resin seeping from the dark devil autos.

Slow week not much going on made a tea at the end of the week using root organic player pack looking forward to seeing how they react to it

At this point I’m not doing anything to the plant besides making sure it gets nutrients

This plant is really starting to bulk up now. I just drove to a few different places before j found the nutrients I ran out of. I found those and some additives along the way. I've heard really good things about both tasty terpenes and bud factor x from advanced nutrients. Now I get to try them. The plants just got their first feeding tonight so we will see how they respond to the new nutrients.

Tag 30 : Ich entlaube etwas und biege die Seitenarme weiter runter, dafür nehme ich Holzspieße und Pfanzendraht. Tag 32: Mir scheint als sei die Pflanze eine Automatic! Sie blüht einfach weiter! Tag 33: Zur Stabilisierung habe ich ein Netz eingebaut, und gieße jetzt noch mit Blütedünger weiter, mal schauen was ob und was noch aus der Pflanze nun wird.
