Second week of flower and I defoliated again. There are small bud sites starting to form at the end of week two flower. The apple fritter has fascination which is making the stems grow interestingly with lots of bud sites.

*Week 4 - Cream Caramel* Explosive growth in the 50L bed! 🌿 Top Roots is now fully integrated, turbocharging root development. This week's highlight: strategic training! One plant got apical pruning (topped) to boost lateral branching, while another is under gentle LST – bending stems for a perfectly even canopy. Sunlight penetration is maximized, and girls are loving their organic living soil setup! #CreamCaramel #OutdoorGrow #LST #Topping #TopRoots #LivingSoil #Week4 #GrowDiaries *Semana 4 - Cream Caramel* ¡Crecimiento explosivo en la cama de 50L! 🌿 Top Roots ya está integrado, potenciando el desarrollo radicular. Lo destacado: ¡entrenamiento estratégico! A un ejemplar le hice poda apical (topping) para estimular ramas laterales, y otro está con LST suave – doblando tallos para una copa uniforme. ¡Máxima penetración de luz y las chicas aman su sustrato orgánico! #CreamCaramel #CultivoExterior #LST #PodaApical #TopRoots #LivingSoil #Semana4 #GrowDiaries

Me encanta esta genetica, y son levemente distintas estos fenotipos. Una tiene mas marcado su color violeta y tiene pistilos mucho mas largos. La otra es mas verde y no tiene tantos pistilos. En cuanto a resina las dos estas muy bien y ya estan quedando blanquecinas justo en el punto que me gusta. De catalogo

Very strong week. Stopped Rhizotonic. Began LST. After feeding the gelato just pH water the paleness subsided and more colour came back to the plant. Gelato starting to grow bushy, strong growth from both plants.

Day 42 to 49 We are getting closer to an end. Is the second time I’m growing purple genetics and I can say that somehow look to be faster to finish their life cycle; I think the next week will be the beginning of flushing, so I will just give water at PH 6.5, without any fertilizers, till the end which I believe will be around day 65. Let me know what’s your experience with purple genetics and of course if you have some tips! Cheers 🍻

We are going to continue on with tying and tucking and spreading. I cannot wait to see what suprises this strain has, as I get the feeling her true colors will be wild. This week I also show the HydroHalo system I have installed to better assist with watering these girls under the net. There is a 5 gallon bucket with lid as resivior, tubing, T fittings x2, valves x2, a small submersible water pump, air pump with hose and air stone in the resivior to keep it aerated.

In week 6 my HOMEBOX growtent has filled up so much, that I need to defoliate the plants. I take them out one by one and take off all lower branches (that dont get enough light) and all leaves of the lower part of the plant. I also take off most of the bigger fan-leaves of the top part of each plant, so the light can penetrate deeper into the canopy. I also add stakes and a plant-holder-ring to each pot, so the bigger plants are supported for better growth. You can see the difference in the BEFORE AND AFTER pics above. Two PURPS-plants from BC-BUD-Depot turned out to be male and have been discarded. Into one of the empty spots I put a small plant of BLUE MINT from Mountain High Seeds as replacement. The other spot stays empty. I simply put a tray into the open spot, so the water is not in the light and no algea grows in my autopot system. The watering via the Flexitank-reservoir works very well. Once a week I fill the reservoir with water mixed with BIO NOVA nutrients, following the SOIL-CULTIVATION schedule of BIO NOVA. Since the EC of my tap water is very high (comes out with EC=1,0 already) I can only add a lower amount of nutrients, therefore I use the BIO NOVA schedule at HALF strength. My babies LOVE the light from the EVO4-120 LED-fixtures from SANlight, they THRIVE under it! At this stage my two lamps are dimmed to 80% (=two green lights are ON, on the dimmer at side of lamp) and hang at a distance of 30 cm from the top of the plants. Now after the defoliation the airflow through the tent is much better and the light can also get to the lower parts of the plant. This way the flowering can continue with an enhanced grow of the buds.

Week 7 started, plants are going well, biscotti mints 1 looks a bit behind of biscotti mints 2.. I flushed both plants, one in the beginning of the week 7 and number 2 after it dried out from last watering yesterday.. breeder says plants will be ready in 8-9 weeks so now only water and watch the trichomes to harvest in the best time 🙌🏼

UPDATE - SUNDAY I just laid on my bed in the dark and put the DGC on to listen to as I relax/snooze and I suddenly realised it is Monday and therefore I am due to update my diary, he photos and the comments. I remember now that on my last grow, comparing this weeks photos with that of last weeks makes it easier to see your bud development... I am just about to go and take some photos and feed the recharge and other goodies. They are staring to smell SOO GOOD! I was pretty worried about it not being enough light though. I was worried about it being similar to the time I flowered an auto in a 1 gal pot, under a 200w CFL (one of those comically oversized ones) It had good morphology but it didn't smell of anything at all and had no thrich's at all so wasn't much use lol. Luckily this smells a hell of a lot more and also has visible trichomes. Right im going to go take my photos....ok these are not the best photos but ill chuck some more up later this week. The plant on he right seems to be most vigorous atm and no so surprisingly this is the quick one. Royal creamatic is slower to develop slightly bu I smells so unbelievably fruity and beauiful. UPDATE - MONDAY Hi guys, back again the day after my last update as I got distracted and started taking some photos and remembered the ones I put up yesterday were shit. I was laying in bed last night thinking I am actually really glad I got the strains of genetics that I did actually and here is why. Well, I wasn't actually THAT excited about them if im completely honest, it was more of a budget decision to get this particular cultivar. I was pretty certain I wanted to try out Royal Queen Seeds and I knew I had to, and wanted to try some autoflowers for this run and saw people were getting some excellent, consistent results from a very limited budget in all the grow diaries I had researched. Now here is why i am particularly glad I went with a strain I wasn't all that pumped about. I think if I had been awaiting a strain I was really looking forward too, it would have seemed to take much longer, this way, I am only pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed. I am also going to upload a Bio-bizz schedule into my images so I can just refer to my diary rather than having to dig one out even though I have my diary open anyway. UPDATE - WEDNESDAY These babies are starting to really stink now. I cant tell if its because I vape copious amounts of weed in my flat or if I need to replace my carbon filter. I definitely need to replace my filer for my next round for sure. I will monitor it and if it gets worse with me airing out my flat more I will replace the filter, or at least replace the activated carbon within the filter. I also just opened the door check them and they have gained noticeable amounts of weight on the buds. I love It when you go in the grow for the first time in a while and you can see its grown quite a lot since your last check. I think I am going to have a browse through peoples diaries who have grown the same strains and see who has had success, then try to mimic how they finished up... The smell is unbelievable, these are two really surprisingly smelly strains. I really cant wait for the scissor hash, I think im also going to freeze all the trim down so that when iv done enough grows I can do some mixed run bubble hash as I still have the bags from last time. Ill probably just freeze it until iv competed my next, bigger 60cmx120cm grow with 3 plants. Cant wait for that to be honest, I have been waiting to swap my flats layout and furniture around for ages but I have been awaiting these beautiful girls to finish up before I can move stuff really. Its going to be a pretty big job, but when its done I should be pretty self sufficient with regards to my medicine. This will be a HUGE relief to me in more than one way. It will remove the constant anxiety that I will run out and not have enough medicine, the cannabis itself will also help with my anxiety and depression. It will also help me in a third way just by doing the gardening itself. Gardening is such a therapeutic act in itself bu also the fact I am caring for my medicine for its whole life and then its harvested in order for it to look after me. I love the process massively. I am very scared that UPDATE - FRI I was looking through my used seed packs and I realised id made a mistake and that the pant on the right is RQS Easy Bud. This 100% so I changed the diary. I also fits with previous photos that have been taken of this strain. Makes a lot more sense to me now. I now need to see how long they suggest running it for. UPDATE - SAT Just checked on the ladies and I have some kind of flies starting to infest a little :( I dont know what they are they look like some sort of fruit fly or something. Thy don't seem to be too bad at the moment but I am going to slow down on waterings a little. I increased the amount I was watering so I don't think the top layer of soil is drying out enough so that will definitely make their houses more hospitable to them. I also checked the trichomes with my jewellers loupe but it is a really shit one and its really hard to look through whilst keeping the plans the right distance from the loupe and steadying the buds so they will stay in focus. Anyway long story short, the trich's are starting to get cloudy now. I couldn't see any amber though, I am kind of looking for as much of a narcotic high as possible so will wait a while longer. I am going to start flushing for a week, maybe 2, tomorrow though. I actually checked both the plants for trichomes and they were both at pretty much the same stage, however, bud development definitely looks more advanced on the Royal Creamatic plant due to the fact the pistols are mostly amber in colour now. This is the problem with growing different strains in the same bed. I also noticed I am starting to get some deep purple colours on one of the royal creamatic buds. Only a tiny bit but it's interesting. Am going to wait till tomorrow to take more photos as tha will e the begginning of week 9. I don't really expect the creamatic to pile on loads more weight now really, I have noticed they seem to be excreting lots of "gooeyness" in terms of feel in the past couple of days. The buds look smaller but more compact on the creamatic compared to the easy bud. The problem is one strain I am growing says 8-9 weeks and the other says 10-12 weeks (according to breeders website) and one plant does look about a couple of weeks ahead of the other, however, its the wrong way round and I did have problems with labeling them at one point so I think I may have got them mixed up somewhere along the road!!! It definitely doesnt seem right that the one that is meant to be ready for harvest around now still has all white pistols and the one that is meant to have another 2-3 weeks left, all the pistols are nicely retracted and amber and is starting ti fade before flush and get nice blue colours on the bud. No, I definiely think I labeled them wrong and will probably start treating the as such from here on in I think...god why am I so unorganised!

This plant looks absolutely gorgeous guys, I'm sad for not being able to film this Transplant because my phone just died when I was in the action, so this lady just like all her sisters have been Transplanted on day 39 since planted and I've prepared the 15L pot with the complete biotabs organic line, using 25g of startrex for every 5L of soil, a couple of grams of mycotrex on the transplant hole, and 3 tabs slow release fertilizer (1 tab for every 5L) and then just watered the plant immediately after the transplant with 1ml per liter of orgatrex and 1G per liter of bactrex,

I'm too inexperienced to say for sure but to me, the colas seem to be thickening. The harvest will probably be more than I can smoke. Quality? I don't know anything about the strain. With naked eye, I can't see the snow/sugar like I could on my previous grow. Perhaps it's the color? Lack of contrast? Everything has a yellowish hue? Trying to use a magnifier, trichomes seem abundant though. Hairs are still mostly yellow so I'm still going on the assumption that until the hairs darken, I don't have to worry about trichome color because it's not even close? Although the plants have probably grown better, produced more than the autos in my first grow, I'm getting impatient.

This is my fav strain for now. I love the taste more than anything. Take a vape hit and exhale through the nose. Oh god, this is good. Despite the low light intensity, The BUDS ARE TIGHTER THAN THE FIST OF A FIGHTER.

26/10 ci elle pouvait murire vite maintenant sa m'arrangerai. Elle m'oblige a rester en 12/12 et c'est restrictif. 🤨 27/10 vite mais bien. 😉 29/10Je me doutais bien que l'humidité allait monté. 😕 31/10 elles deviennent carnivore pour halloween.😈 Enfin.. demain ou après demain elle a un rendez-vous avec le sécateur. 🤤 01/11 le capteur d'humidité est mort 😅 En attente d'un neuf, je mets l'humidité a vue de nez.😬 🤤 elle a l'air terriblement bonne.👌♥️♥️
