Overall the plants look ok and the buds grow nicely👌 I slightly open the window every evenings to help reducing the humidity but last night I forgot to close it and woke-up very late in the morning because I was sick. The temperature dropped to 14°C during a few hours and the plants received some light during around 3 hours from the window's crack (see picture). I hope this will not mess with the flowering... If you had the same kind of experience I would be glad to hear how it turned out for you! Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Gorilla Cookies : 108cm (final height) Purple Lemonade : 76cm (final height) Wedding Cheesecake : 96cm (final height)

Hey my growmies hope everyone is keeping well just a wee update on the garden all looking swell they had a nutrient feed today comprising of: Nukeheads uranium veg: 1tsp/gal Vitalink CalMag: 5ml/gal Urb naturals: 15ml/gal Vitalink BioPlus: 10ml/gal Vitalink PH up: PH'd to 6.8 Anyway I'm rather concerned about the lemon meringue autos as I had a cold snap last week so reckon they've self pollinated but not 100% so I've tried them with another flower nutrient feed to see if they'll spark up if not I'll just wait till harvest and drysift them 💪

The flowering stretch seems to have slowed down and most of the growth is going into the buds now. The buds are forming up into long colas, and trichomes are forming up to frost the buds a little bit. One of the buds in the middle of the canopy grew into the light on f26 and got a little bit burnt. Otherwise coming along well and getting pretty smelly when touched. I trimmed off some of the lower branches towards the end of the week, and will probably be trimming more off on res cleaning day.

5/3/2020 this is my first grow. Today I took the seedlings and put them in there pots. Tomorrow ill start the lights. I added... 2 tsp Big Bloom ¼ tsp Holy Mackerel 1 tsp Boomerang 5/4/2020 I just checked on the seedlings. There both already popping there heads out of the ground already. 5/5/2020 Turned the light on for the first time for this grow and for the first real time ever. 5/6/2020 The first real leaves have sprouted. Also gave her ¼ tsp microbe Brew ¼ tsp Kangaroots 1 tsp Kelp I kelp you 5/7/20 As per advise. I'll be adding only water for the next couple weeks. Ph to 6.5ish. 5/8/2020 I watered with PH'd water around 6.4PH. it seems like it hasn't grow much in the last couple days. The G.G. us already starting to grow its second set of leafs. Wich the Zkittlez isn't. I just hope I didn't fuck anything up. I know there two different Phenotypes. (strains) I know I shouldn't be going off each other. But it's something I'll add just for the records of them growing. 5/9/2020 I'm just going g to start off saying I think I'm over watering my plants. Im watering every 3 days or so. I also think I may have stunted my life one. I really hope its me bing a noob and worrying to much. It would really suck to have to kill it cause of something I did. Maybe its too many nutes. Idk but I'm going to just water with allot less regular pH'd water. And let it dry much more between watering. 5/9/2020 (#2) Here's an extra entry for the day. I have the exaust fan just blowing into my room.... until today! Its going to be summer very soon. And with that comes a ton of heat. Now my place isn't that big and it gets hot and I mean like 95⁰ inside when it's 75⁰ outside. I do have A/C's that's an added cost. I didn't see spending all this money to grow and not set it up properly. A few days ago I woke up late and some how in got to 95⁰ in the tent I was lets say not very happy about it. And I know its going to happen again unless I do something about it.. So what did I do about it? I installed a dryer vent to vent the hot air to the outside. With a summer/winter box. To eather recycle the air or blow it outside. I also ordered a Ac Infinity cloudline t4. I'm also going to be making a board with a place to put the led drivers out of the tent if need be. And have a place for the T4 monitor/control.

7/11- Second official week of flower is here. I gave her about a quart of water today. Not much else to report. she's doing well! 7/12- I've done nothing to her today. She's still looking great! 7/13- I gave her about a half gallon of water today after I found burned tips on my leaves. Anyone reading this willing to confirm if this is nutrient burn? I'm sure it is, and I'm wondering if I should even feed before I defoliate on the 17th. This might change but as of right now I might only feed bloom nutes when I defoliate. Took her out of the wardrobe a few hours after watering which is why the leaves look depressed. Seems she always slumps with a heavy water. But I was able to get a better look at her flowers, and OH MY GOD. I cant believe how beautiful these neon purple buds are! 7/14- Today I found yellowing leaves on the bottom and they just kind of popped off with a gentle touch. This kind of spooked me. I landed on the conclusion that they probably weren't getting enough light and the plant started taking the nutrients out of those leaves. So I decided to defoliate today. I don't want the lower leaves to fall off cause they aren't getting light. I want those lower bud sites to develop too, so I cut the leaves that were blocking the most light into the plant, allowing the plant to get some energy down lower. I didn't get too crazy but I did remove a good amount. I will likely continue to prune leaves over the next few days but its mostly gonna remain natural growth from this point on. 7/15- Watered a quart this morning. Seems like she's really drinking a lot. The buds are starting to get fat. The buds are really pink! 7/16- God drunk last night and turned the light down to take pictures of the bud.... My dumbass never turned it back up. So today about midway though its day cycle I noticed and turned it back up. 7/17- Some leaves are yellowing. I think its a K deficiency. I cant feed today, soil is still too wet. Will probably feed tomorrow.

1/17 - Day 62 / Day 35 Flower Pots felt dry so decided to give them about a half gallon of spring water each. This wasn't enough to induce runoff. Will save that for a bigger watering later this week. Nutrient issues continue to persist. **************************************************** 1/19 - Day 64/ Day 37 Flower - Feeding day Pots were feeling dry again. After about a week of laying off the nutrients following the flush, I gave them a feeding today with their watering. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have waited this long to re-introduce nutrients as some of the lag in recovery is probably due to the fact that I flushed all of the food. The feeding solution consisted of the following: - 1 gallon distilled water - 5ml of FF Tiger Bloom (1/2 dose) - 10ml of FF Big Bloom (2/3 dose) Adjusted the solution to the following conditions before feeding: - pH: 6.5 - TDS: 303ppm - EC: .6 I gave each of the 5 gallon pots about a half gallon each of the solution, followed by enough spring water to induce runoff (approximately another half gallon). I tested the runoff for both of my 5 gallons and returned the following readings; Z51: - pH: 6.4 - TDS: 649ppm - EC: 1.3 Z52: - pH: 6.2 - TDS: 669ppm - EC: 1.3 I was encouraged that both plants are close to being within my ideal range and hopefully this means that they will start to show signs of recovery in the next week. **************************************************** 1/21 - Day 66 / Day 39 Flower I'm growing in an attic space and we've had a drop in temperature over the last couple days, my heating system was working overtime and more heat was rising into the space. I woke up today and the temp in my grow tent was registering in at 87F. I decided to play around with my temperature threshold on my fan controller, reducing the max heat threshold to 80 from 85. What I didn't account for was that I had a low humidity threshold of 30% (which I assumed meant that that fan would stop running if it hit this point). It turns out that my fan actually kicks ON when it hits that threshold... As a result. my fan was short cycling through the night where it would turn on when the heat exceeded 80 (causing humidity to decrease) then turn on again when it hit my low humidity threshold - creating wide swings in my temp and humidity. I'll tell you what, if I don't produce any viable bud this grow, I can honestly say I made up for the loss based on the education I've received. The nutrient deficiency issues are still present but don't appear to be getting worse. The leaves on my Z51 are pretty pale, it's clear they are starving for nitrogen but I am reluctant to try and address issue at this point. I'm planning 2 more light feedings over the next two weeks so hopefully this will be enough to get them to harvest. **************************************************** Day 1/22 - Day 67/Day 40 Flower My girls are really starting to frost up and the colas feel noticeable more dense by the day. I would have thought that the smell would have been stronger by now. Not sure if this is a consequence of my carbon filter doing such a good job or whether the buds are having developmental issues. When I get up close and smell the buds, I get a faint aroma but not the strong sweet and gassy smells that I've read about on other journals. I watered the 5 gallons today with a gallon of spring water each. My soil is not as airy as it once was and has started to cake up around the roots. I do my best to try and loosen up the dirt, usually to no avail. I was short for time so I didn't have a chance to test the runoff.

This week is almost the same as last week. Did some LST and Defoliation. Got rid of some stuff close to the plants so now they have more space. They started to smell so I have to buy some other plants as well like the Jasminum polyanthum, because I don't want any complaining neighbours.

420Fastbuds FBT2310/Week 4 What up everyone. Hope all are well. Weekly update on these two gorgeous girls. This past week has been fun doing a major defoliation taking off most the bigger fan leafs. Hard to tell a few days later I took anything off. Which is amazing they never skipped a beat. No big issue's and since sprouted have grown phenomenal being relatively easy. Both have started going into preflower showing pistols at the main tops. All in all Happy Growing.

Day 40: They got recoverd from overwatering. Leafs got darker because I gave them more nutrients, but gained early signs of slightly overfeeding ( Burnt tips on leafs). I had to boost them to fix it because there isn't much time with autoflowers. Now i only have to adjust my nutrient feeding with just 10 to 15% and its all good. They did stretch again, some growers love it but i think it is ugly and you will gain weak stems. I have to do something about the heat soon, because i want my buds compact and not fluffy. This will happen due lots of heat. I also have to start give them cal/mag, i saw first stages of deficiency. Not a problem when you are early with spotting it. Nice lovely buds so far Thats all for now Day 42: I have been defoliating alot to get the air between the plants. There are still some leafs and branches i want to get rid off, but i don't want them to stress out to much. Also i have killed of 23 smaller plants to make more space for the others. This is always painfull but stupid if you don't do this. If the plants didn't stretch that far due heat and low placed lights, this would not have been the case. I would still have alot of small nice plants. This was more the case for the gorilla's but it had to be said here as well since the Cherry Cola's will profit from it as well. See you guys next week!

Adding in a 65 W Horticulture Lighting Group quantum board has really helped my dessert cheese develop! This plant has nice even growth and thick stems and branches! It’s shorter than the sativas, with fatter leaves. The ambient humidity has been dry. I used a cool steam vaporizer with some lavender and eucalyptus oils to add some h2o to the air and gas out potential insects. Having the remaining pots in larger containers has helped stabilize the humidity. Added nematodes day 37

Eh estado desconectado pero aquí va algo más de estas nenas, aun las tengo en periodo de vegetación. Lo que si esta semana logramos instalar la carpa correspondiente para estas nenas así que estamos esperando a llenar la carpa y poder pasar a floración. La estructura habla por si sola, aun no le hago amarres correspondientes ya que estoy esperando que me lleguen los soportes y poder darle más vigor del que ya tiene con el apoyo. Estamos probando cannaboost via folear 3 veces por día 2 ml x litro. lo vamos a utilizar hasta el día 21 de floración y comenzamos vía riego. quiero comprobar diferencias ya que todos mis cultivos tengo que probar alguna cosa nueva ya sea estilo de alimentación o lo que sea. Siempre dispuesto a resolver cualquier duda me pueden encontrar en instagram @chocolopeison Saludos

Welcome to week 11 I feel like I may be out of the woods as far as worry is about pollination so far she shows no signs of being pollinated. I have continued with my LST scrogging in order to keep the canopy even and not let it get too high I don't want to keep the distance from the light. Other than that she shows no deficiencies and is growing very nicely if a little slow LOL

what can I say over 7 ft tall now which is impressive in this drought with only the pittance of water I've been giving them once a week. Just goes to show you that my water conservation techniques work. They are both starting to smell like a hint of chocolate and peanut butter. Can't wait to see how these ones smoke. They are also into full pre flower and should be in full flower by next weekend.
