24/08/25: Today was the day! After checking the trichomes, I’d say the ratio was around 1:4 amber to cloudy, with no clear trichomes left in sight. Pretty much the perfect harvest window and I am super happy that I kept them a little longer since I didn't detect any pests/mold whatsoever while trimming! 😁🤞🏼 I went for a wet trim this time so I can dry them in DryFerM bags, which I’ve heard a lot of good things about and am excited to try out. The trimming session intense since I had to cut a lot of leaves and the smell was really strong! Both plants surprised me with a strong diesel/fruity aroma that I hadn’t noticed as much before. The Sativa-leaning pheno is fruity with fresh lemon terps, while the other leans into those spicy, earthy notes with even more gas, which I love! The smaller plant also developed some beautiful purple buds, which I never had before. All in all, I’m very pleased with how this first run with autos turned out, especially since the two phenotypes ended up so distinct in both looks and aromas.

Compare the airpot roots versus the normal pots. No root circling. and the plant is bigger although that might be genetic. Perhaps it is due to the roots being able to get more oxygen Transplanted late in week 3 into bigger pots,,, just water, no nutrients

The smell is getting stronger and the buds and trichomes are swelling, I’m planning on starting flushing at the end of the week. The smell is strong mixed berry and when you lean in a bit closer it has a bit of a chemy smell

Welcome everyone Here we are with the final conclusions about this brand new CHUPACABRA 🍭🐐🌱 Breeding by MICROGENETICA Seed bank 🏆 We have passed togheter the entire summer and to be honest this is the girst time I have grow indoor during this hot months. Usually I do some outdoor, but you know, the virus was can't give me any chance to do it.. Anyway About the hot climate 🌡️🌡️ She has was very resistent , but a little slowly in grow.. Honestly in the beginning my idea was to do a "normal" lst , but in the end she looks like some desert treehs 😅🌳 In some point , i think because i have use to much silicium , the stem was bee to hard for beeing training in the way i was want.. And so I have decided to create something "artistic" 🎨 Five long months 21 colas 🚀 Flowers has a very sweet with some cheese notes 🧀 Very oleous 🔥 In the end I have collected about 70g , dry and cure Very dense nuggets Good amount of trichomes 👌 Honestly I was can do a better job , especially during bloom 🙌 I have growed her in a Living soil , so basically only water with some molasses and sometimes aloe vera and silicium.. But I was have some deficency in P. And so I have done just a tea with some guano and kelp I have not do something more because im in learning with this type of growing. Now I know that for the next time I will have to change something by adding elements in different quantities during the preparation of the soil But in any case , the aroma and taste are intense and rich 🤩 Very enjoyable to smoke , just weed and rolling papers But with a good vaporaizer it will be much better 💯 I also think it would be a very good strain for exctraction To try 😎 And that's all I have put every info possible during any week from the beginnig to the ends , if you want to know more about this grow cycle.. And also photos 😉 Unfortunally I was cant be able to update the last week of flowering because I was having some account problems But here we are In the end im happy about this strain and I definetly can raccomended it to everybody Definitely good for making clones So.. Thanks to Microgenetica seedbank for the seeds 🙏🙏 And thank you so much Grow Diaries , like as always 🤟🤙🙏 See you Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹

Welcome to week 3F of growfessor theatre, 4x4 edition. The ladies are looking happy and healthy. Do-si-dos received a heavy defoliation, there were a ton of small inner branches starved for light, so they got cut. LSD, Green Crack and Mandarin dreams all received a light defo, yellowing leaves were removed. Lighting provided by Mars-Hydro TSW2000. Thanks for stopping by, tune in next week growfessors for the next episode 👽🌳💚

Mostly even spherical canopy formed; I'd say seems pretty decent for first ever growing experience! :D Start flowering Mid-Week 7 - Day 47. Day 44 - 12/5 - A cup of plain water. Light 18hrs. Day 45 - 12/6 - No Water. Light 18hrs. Day 46 - 12/7 - Bloom Ferts. 1.3 + 0.9 ml/l Light 18hrs. No adjustment. Day 47 - 12/8 - Start official Flowering - Light 12/12. 2 cup Plain Water. Day 48 - 12/9 - Light Water. No adjustment. Day 1 into Flowering. Day 49 - 12/10 - 1.5 Bloom + 1 CalMag. Day 2 into flowering. Red streaks on stems. Bright yellowish green new grown leaves seen. Question. Overall looks good. Concerned about bright yellow new growth and red streaks on stems. END WEEK 7.

D80/F29 - 12.4 - All is well except for 1 Black Sugar plant that is showing what I believe is calcium deficiency. Hmm, it’s really only on the older leaves, none of the new growth is affected and the buds are still developing on pace. So I will give some compost tea, along with all the others. Let me know if you have any other ideas please! D83/F32 - 12.7 - Cruizin. treated with some top dress super soil concentrate. Beside the one deficient plant, the others are all great ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

Beginning of week.. Damn she is a very nitrogen sensitive bitch! I really hope she starts to thicken up some.. I think it hurt the yeild some.. Unless she thickens up nicely. It's not as bad as I've seen other nitrogen toxic plants.. With every single leaf cupped or clawing downward.. But the top leaves are pretty clawed.. And even alot of the sugar leaves throughout the plant.. Damnit.. Also, I've noticed that she is actually using up nutrients like FastBuds said.. The runoff has been coming out alot lower than it is going in.. I guess they weren't bullshitting me lol.. Blah whatever.. Damnit, I really hope I didnt fuck this up 🤦🤞🤞🤞 Almost mid week... So I'm using a Brita pitcher with filter for my tap water.. It doesn't do much lol.. Some, of course.. But I'm also using a very cheap filter in it.. Wal-Mart brand.. Which sucks.. But that is helping bring the TDS of nutrient solution down from 1000 PPM - 1100 PPM to about 850 PPM - 900 PPM.. Just regular tap water from 240 PPM - 260 PPM down to 180 PPM - 190 PPM.. Like I said.. Some.. But not much. I'm not sure if there should be any changes to the plant if the nitrogen toxicity is cleared out.. I went ahead and did a nice flush to get all that shit out of the medium.. It should have helped.. Still going to keep the FloraMicro down.. I really hope this doesnt hurt the yield or taste!!!! I'm assuming she should be close to about halfway thru flower so she should have time to recover before flushing and harvesting.. Will be updating with pics tomorrow! Oh.. And I also lowered the light to 14 inches from the canopy.. Well.. To the tallest cola lol Mid week.. She is still maintaining herself.. The trichomes are so beautiful!.. Been keeping the PPMs a bit lower than I think I should.. I think Calcium deficiency is popping back up.. I think I'm seeing some new spots pop up.. Not too bad.. And it could just be from when I was flushing a bit at the beginning of the week.. Havent changed the amount of CalMag so I imagine that's what it's from. But other than that and the nitrogen toxicity, she is doing good! Next day (Merry Christmas!🎄).. So the trichome heads are still normal (not purple like I thought).. But the trichome stems(?) are purple. So fucking gorgeous.. But I can still see that the trichome heads are clear/milky/amber.. There are already quite a few milky! Damn.. Maybe FastBuds actually means 9 - 10 weeks from seed! Lol.. The colas are starting to fatten up a bit.. So I'm happy! I really enjoy the narcotic effect so I'm gonna harvest when there are quite a bit of amber trichomes.. My Lemon Berry from ETHOS had not many amber.. And the high is very paranoid like lol.. Dont get me wrong.. I love the high.. But paranoia is definitely there lol.. So I'm trying to avoid that with this girl! Later that night... So after running a couple gallons through the Brita pitcher filter (with Wal-Mart brand filter), the TDS is coming out around 150 PPM!!! Ok.. So not bad lol.. Works MUCH better than I figured it would! NICEeEeEe... Lol.. But as for the love of my life (lol not kidding).. She is starting to swell for sure!.. Still think she's gonna be a little airy tho.. But she shouldnt yeild small! End of week.. Not seeing any new clawing.. Starting to see more spots.. I mean, they are super bad.. But there are alot throughout the girlie.. So as I've been feeding, watering, feeding, watering, etc... I've noticed the runoff PPM aren't as high as they normally would be.. This could be why the spotting is happening.. Not sure if these spots are from Calcium.. Magnesium.. Or even something else.. It's kinda hard to tell.. But honestly I'm not too concerned about them.. She is not TOO too far from harvesting.. Haven't began to flush yet.. But I think that may be happening very soon.. Maybe 1 more week of weak feedings and then 2 weeks of flushing.. I am definately seeing plenty of cloudy trichomes.. And some amber now.. I will be trying to get some pics of the trichomes next week for sure! They are so pretty! This is one finicky bitch for sure! But now that I know her issues, it should make it quite easier to avoid the same issues next time I grow her! Still very happy with this girl!... On to the next!!!...
