Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. All 4 seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 4 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perilite and mix it all together. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08.20. Nr1 and 2 grow and thrive. Number 3 just got rid of the seedpod and is folding out the sheets. Number 4 is a bit shy and can only be seen if you look carefully into the soil. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-21. Nr 1 and 2 is doing well. Nr3 is trying to catch up and Nr4 is still shy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-23. Transplanted 2 girls from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. The other 2 girls have to wait a little more before transplant to the autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. New pic and movies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr3 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now for Nr1 and 2 so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and movie. Everything is looking great right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New pics and videos. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01.

Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. KL 12.00. The girls got 2 liters of water each with nutes in it, added a video. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-06. KL 08.00. The girls woke up after their beauty sleep, the leaves are always a bit down after 6 h of darkness, but they will stretch now when the HPS lamp starts. Everything looks good and I keep trying to tuck the leaves so they get the maximum amount of light where needed. Added pics and video. The Nr 3 girl is still a little bit behind the other 2 girls and all the 3 girls look like there 3 different pheno of the same plant. KL 23.30. Did some LST. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-07. Day 21 from sprouting, Nr3 is 17 days from sprouting. I have never tested PH in my grows, when growing organic in soil iv learned that it adapt PH by it self. But im curious by nature so i had to test. Kl 10.00 Tested PH in the soil, it was 6.9 and tested my tap water and it was 6.8. Added a video of the girls, its 10 H after defoliation, LST and leaftucking. I think its looking good. Kl 22.30. New pics.

During the second week of flowering for Purple Kush, here’s what you can expect and steps to ensure a successful grow: Plant Development 1. Bud Formation: Small pre-flower buds (calyxes) will begin forming along the nodes. Pistils (white hairs) may be visible. 2. Stretch Phase: The plant will still be stretching, potentially doubling in height as it transitions into full flowering mode. Care Tips 1. Lighting: Ensure a consistent 12/12 light cycle. Use strong flowering lights (HPS, LED) with red spectrum dominance. 2. Nutrients: Transition to flowering nutrients with a higher phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) ratio. Avoid overfeeding nitrogen to prevent leafy growth. Example: 1-3-2 NPK ratio is common in flowering. 3. Watering: Keep watering consistent but avoid overwatering. Allow slight drying of the topsoil between watering. 4. Temperature & Humidity: Ideal temperature: 65–80°F (18–26°C). Humidity: Reduce to 40–50% to prevent mold/mildew as buds develop. Training If you’re doing any low-stress training (LST), finish this early to avoid stressing the plant during full bloom. Remove any dying or large fan leaves blocking bud sites to improve light penetration. Monitoring Watch for pests like spider mites and early signs of mold or nutrient deficiencies. Look for healthy, vibrant leaves and steady growth in bud sites. By week 2, your Purple Kush should show noticeable progression in flower development, setting you up for a good yield in the weeks to come.

Bewässerung: 30000 ml jeden 3 Tag in der dreiundzwanzigsten Woche pH-Wert: 6,3 EC-Wert: 1,6 mS/cm Temperatur: 24ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 60% Schädlingsbekämpfung: Raubmilben Düngemittel: Sie bekommen ab jetzt Brenneseljauche da sie im Outdoor Bereich ist. Besonderheiten: Der Boden um den still herum wurde mit Holzasche behandelt gegen Meltau. -Tag 152 Heute haben wir sie nochmal etwas gebunden damit die Blüten mehr auseinander gehen und sich nicht berühren, das Wetter ist weiterhin sehr schlecht und es sieht so aus als ob der Rest der Woche nicht viel besser wird.

Felt greedy and moved SBR back, they're together again, started one more plant, planning to add another diary soon. Girls look good! Already started blooming, stigmas appeared at the beginning of week 2, buds seem to start forming. Since SBR is a bit smaller than KE she has a podium to stand on. Like a queen ahah. I've cut 2 lower branches of KE, and few from SBR. Not sure about defoliation at the moment, Leaves under the lights seem to be ventilated well and aren't wet

The time has come, here we are into the first couple of days of flowering, slightly upset because I can’t look at them during the day and their light cycle runs at night but I have to get used to, I used to spend hours staring at them. My Gf told me to get for a second into the feeling of the plants and imagine this human look at me for hours 🤣🤣 I have to admit that would be slightly creepy and they don’t know yet that I’ll chop them down and smoke ☠️ Enjoy fellow growers ☮️✌️🏼😎

It's been a fairly uneventful week in the 5x5. I cut down my Blackberry auto the other day and I've been thinking of getting seeds ready for the stuff I plan to grow outside this summer...With my currents cycle of plants being deep in to flower, I have time to look forward at upcoming projects. The Mimosa cake auto is one of those plants currently deep into flower. She's been giving off a dank smell of earthy/fruity/spicy terps. She is extremely dense and sticky to the touch. I find myself cutting fan leaves off daily due to her busy and stout stature. The only down side I have to her is the fact that she's going to take around 100 days from germination to harvest. Process/ Environment changes: - Turned off one TS1000 after I cut down the Blackberry auto. I did this to try and cool the tent down. Higher temps outside creates an increase I'm ambient air temp in my basement. - Fed Advanced Nutrients Bloom nutes at a rate of 1.5 mL/gal - no longer using a fish tank water heater to heat my water reservoir due to increased ambient air temperatures in basement Trichomes still mostly clear... I'm on day 84 post germination today as I write this.

Flowers coming along nicely! Trichomes are starting to form on the fan leaves and my whole house smells like sweet berries! Im worried about my tent getting over crowded, and ive noticed moisture on leaves where leaves overlap. I defoliated lightly, and got another small fan to softly blow over the canopy.

Another good week. Watered them twice. I'm not planning on feeding them again. A little defoliation. I definitely think they are in the last 2 weeks before harvest. Still seeing some nutrient burn developing on the leaves. I don't think I watered enough through the whole grow! I'd love to hear opinions on this! Took some videos of the buds with an iPhone 12 at 6X magnification. Decent quality! Otherwise, still looking to successfully harvest these plants! Thinking about the next grow. Probably going to be Auto Strawberry Cheesecake and Auto Anesthesia. Peace!

The stretch phase is over and the Platinum Zooks is doing fabolous😃 I gave her a heavy haircut (defol & lollipop) @ day 11 of flower. ( she didn't mind ) On day 18 of flower i'm gonna give her, her first Bio-Tabs Compost Tea to give her a little extra push in the back.

First week of flowering. Added other ferts into daily mix. Added more soil to make it less compact. No changes in training. Damaged branches seems to be fully recovered.

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana si inizia a vedere la resina e ora si inizieranno a formare le cime, per questo aggiungo Sugar Shot di @xpertnutrients vedremo l'evoluzione settimana prossima. Come potete vedere nel complesso tutto va alla grande e c'è un odore nella stanza davvero troppo ed uno strato di resina che sembra zucchero a velo sono davvero molto molto curioso di vedere tutto quello che ne uscirà fuori... Grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Ich habe rausgefunden was der Fehler in der Woche 1 war. Anfänger Fehler, zu nass…. Einfach zu viel gegossen, Töpfe zu schwer! Seitdem nur 1 mal gegossen mit 50% der angegeben Düngemenge von Advanced Nutrients Woche 2. gewechselt auf MH Lampe 250 Watt, Abstand der Lampe verringert auf ca. 40 cm. Ich habe noch keine aktive Zuluft aktiviert. Die Pflanzen haben sich gut erholt, ich würde sagen das die Entwicklung jetzt normal läuft. Die Klima Bedingungen wie RLF und Temperatur sind optimal. Seit Woche 2 minimale Zugabe an Cal Mag. Da dies der letzte grow mit diesem Setup ist hoffe ich auf eine gute Ernte….. Peace
