This week went pretty well for my sour diesel auto. She Finally stopped growing vertically at about 48 inches to the top of the highest cola. We did have a serious heatwave and high humidity I been dealing with as well, but so far so good. The only thing I changed this week with nutrients is I raised my ec value to 1.6, at the advice of another grower, and the sour diesel took it like the piglet that she is. I am still on an 18/6 light cycle,which I plan to stay with the entire grow, and still feeding Maxibloom, calmag, and koolbloom. I am seeing some bright orange colored spots on the top leaves, but I am hoping it is just a little light bleaching. I have no experience with this as I have NEVER grown anything indoors before other than vegetable seedlings. I just wanted to say thank you to this community for all the advice, tips and encouragement along the way, very much appreciated all, and Blaze On!

Well, to be honest, I have never seen any autoflower strain beeing as big and flowery after 28 days from seed, as Gorilla Zkittlez is. Crazy plants, all 3 of them doing gr8! Dos si Dos is a bit smaller, but its a different strain and should grow smaller. Crazy and gr8, all looks fantastic! Cant wait for buds to form. Cheers!

Spider mites are getting worse. Also have to harvest soon cause I start travelling next week and I can’t finish and dry them in time. But the trichomes are almost ready

Drying conditions are about 17°C and 52% rh. drying for about 8 days. after that directly into jars for curing with humidity packs.

The ladies are happy and if they are happy that means good flower at the end of this long journey

Gonna a bit more NITROGEN!☘️

From sprout, I've been watering every 3-4 days. Been very consistent with this. Yellow tips been appearing. I think it could be Magnesium or Calcium deficiency. Hit it with some Calmag with iron.

Decided to start my #1 favourite strain so far! 😍 It will be interesting to see if I 'overrated' it last time or not. In her 20 litre airpot is a mix of new compost : new canna terra : perlite in a 3:3:1 ratio by scoop. Also I should mention I riddled the brand new compost AND Terra soil through an approx 6mm 1/4" screen. This makes the soil wonderfully soft. I've not done this on my recent grows, lets see if it makes a difference or not. She is 7 days above ground now.

Just getting going again after some mods to my grow box. I’ve replaced the main CFL bulb with an LED and it is much brighter. I also removed the second carbon filter to create more space in the box. The new setup allows for more even space and light distribution and overall more growing space. With the additional light I thought I would try out CO2 so I added an Exhale365 bag. Starting out with 3 plants, 2 Pineapple Express and 1 Pineapple Skunk. There was some type of burn on the first seedling but that was earlier on and it has grown a lot since I first noticed it. I planted the seeds days apart so a few are behind. Growbox summary: * grow space: 19”H x 17”W x 21”D * 4 small, 1 medium internal fans * 3 gallon hydro reservoir * 6 inch exhaust fan + 4 inch exhaust fan in sequence * 150W Mars Hydro TS-1000 (new) * 3 X 20W LED side lights (+1 new) * Exhale CO2 bag (new) Water temps are ranging from 68 up to 70. It’s a small space, but with light covering all sides I think I can get a decent yield. Last time 3.2 ounces were harvested from it. Hoping to hit 5 ounces this time by creating fewer, but larger colas. Day 6 update: * The pinex-1 is looking a little funky. It has weird leaf growth, some minor defects in color, super short compared to the others, and the first leafs are starting to canoe a little. * pinex-2 and pskunk are looking good and growing well, but the leaves aren’t very green. * decided to bump up nutrients a little by moving to week 2 on the schedule and diluting to 60%. That took the ppm up from 400(200 base) to 630(210 base). Hoping if they weren’t getting enough nutrients that this will fix it. * the new light might be a little to bright for these babies. Dimmed it to about 75% power.

10/5: Comparing photos from the beginning of last week and today, it was pretty decent growth. If they were stunted from being in the temporary grow bags for too long, it wasn't too badly. --Blackberry I (I call her Halle), is really purpling up well, and looking like she'll be a single uber-phat cola...no branching at all..whereas her sister is all about the branches. --Wedding Cheesecakes are consistently big and vigorous. They'll probably be the best producers of the crop. --Orange Sherbets look like clones they are so consistent in shape and leaf structures. Kinda short compared to the other varieties, but nice and bushy. --Gorilla Cookies are also identical in plant shape, but two of them are a few days ahead of the other as far as pistil production goes. Also not a very tall cultivar, but many branches. --The late/stunted Lemon Pie is praying to the sun at all times and starting to look like she belongs in the same crop. The bigger LP is gorgeous..perfect structure, the other one is catching up, but my cat keeps defoliating her.😏 ---Strawberry Pies have massive sun-blocking fan leaves that require constant tucking, but they are branching well, and a couple of them are pretty beefy. The other SP is doing fine considering her crooked trunk and slow start. 10/6: Today I noticed 9 "lone" nanners on the nodes of the crooked trunk-Strawberry Pie!😧 No clusters.. just single pollen sacs here and there.🤨 These plants have experienced no major stress at all...I'm keeping it like late-August upper-peninsula Michigan in the closet. 80f/50%RH 👌 Damnit...this is a new, stable strain, right??👈 I've seen no other SP diaries with hermaphrodites...just my fukt luck I guess.😖 I plucked them and will watch for more..and I guess I'd better keep a close eye on the other two SPs as well... I just got my wife a new 16 x 7 x 7 greenhouse frame with the green semi-translucent cover for her 4' x 12' raised bed...if i see any more sneaky nanners appear, I'll probably remove the plant(s) and move them outdoors to finish in there. I swore I'd not do any training this run, but while removing the pollen sacs I couldn't resist opening up and tieing down some branches on the hermie.🤷 10/9: I fed them.

Un gran cultivo a llegado a su fin,excelente cepa muy productora y facil de cultivar,solo aplicando cada 10 dias aceite de neem todas las plagas mantenidas a raya,cultivo sano de principio a fin,cada cepa cultivada de Royal Queen es cada vez mejor..cada cultivo da mas produccion y hermosas flores...muy satisfecho con todo el cultivo,le di una semana mas de floracion de lo indicado por el banco y valio la pena...cultivo muy homogeneo y cada semilla muy estable...muy feliz!!!

Was going to chop beginning of week 9, waiting is all.

Hey, green warriors and cannabis connoisseurs! 🌱✨ We’re now into week 2 of the flowering stage in our Runtz Battle, and the excitement is building! Our plants are thriving, and the first signs of budding are beginning to show. Let’s dive into the progress and take a closer look at how these beauties are developing. Week 2 Flowering Progress 🌿🌟 As we move further into the flowering phase, here’s what’s been happening: • Bud Formation Begins 🌸: • The Runtz plants are now focusing their energy on flower production. Tiny buds are starting to form at the nodes, and you can already see the potential for a bountiful harvest. The plants are strong and healthy, with dense, vibrant foliage. • F1 Compactness Continues 🌟: • The F1 strain remains the most compact of the group, showcasing tight internodal spacing. This compact structure is ideal for maximizing yield and creating dense, resinous buds. Environmental and Nutrient Update 🌡️💧 We’re maintaining our focus on providing the optimal environment and nutrients to support strong flowering: • Watering and Nutrients 💧: • The Autopots are doing their job, keeping the plants consistently hydrated with a TDS of 400 and pH of 6.2. This balance is crucial for nutrient uptake and overall plant health as they develop their flowers. • We’re continuing with Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir. The rich, living soil is supplying most of the nutrients, allowing the plants to flourish with minimal additional inputs. This organic approach is part of our test run to see just how effective the soil’s biolife and nutrient mix can be throughout the entire growth cycle. • Environmental Conditions 🌡️: • Temperature: Room temperature is stable at 30.3°C, with a cool water temp of 18°C, keeping the roots happy and healthy. • Humidity: With an RH of 51%, we’re in the perfect range to avoid mold and mildew while still encouraging robust bud growth. Lighting and Growth 🌟💡 Our lighting setup continues to play a crucial role in the plants’ development: • Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro 💡: • The Lumatek Zeus is delivering intense, full-spectrum light, which is essential for strong bud development. The even light distribution is helping to ensure that all parts of the plants receive the energy they need to produce thick, resinous buds. • TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller 🌡️: • The TrolMaster system continues to manage the growing environment with precision, ensuring that the plants are kept within the ideal temperature, humidity, and light parameters. This control is vital as we move deeper into the flowering phase, where consistency is key to maximizing yield and quality. Looking Ahead 🌟🌿 As we head further into flowering, the excitement continues to build. The Runtz plants are thriving, showing early promise for a beautiful and bountiful harvest. With the environmental conditions and nutrient strategy finely tuned, we’re on track for a successful flowering period. Stay tuned for more updates as these buds continue to develop and the Runtz Battle heats up!

After the 4th week of growth the low stress training and topping had taken effect after the girls had recovered. To start this week I changed.my base neutrients to the Sensi Coco grow A+B from advanced neutrients and up the intake to 4ml/l as well as some carboload so sugars are accessible throughout. Due to the size of the lemon haze and the expected expansion of the smaller plants I will bring to flower now at Day 28.

Day 77 dark period day 78 chop. A

Test

Will follow soon. I'm on vacation

Went away for seven days had a friend come by and water the garden Absolutely exploded since I’ve seen them last very pleased with all of the plants except for mystery auto number one. It is disappointing me some but hopefully the top will bring more growth. Can’t wait to see these continued to develop!!!
