21.06. Girl Scout Cookies# Day 56# With a little delay because I'm a lazy stoned person, and in addition the responsibilities regarding the plants are already starting to grow, and I also have a lot of work around the garden and then I don't always arrive in time to release the update. The plants are progressing well, but now they are already hungry, so the next watering is for food. Two days ago they were topped for the third time, I also topped the two highest side branches. Yesterday was the end of their eighth week, the pictures are also from yesterday. Last night I sprayed them with SMC for prevention, but none of those pests can harm the plant outside as well as inside..first of all, the plants are much bigger, and therefore have much more leaf mass, and secondly, it is nature, there are many of them in nature, the only thing that can destroy them all are caterpillars during flowering and mold when the humidity is too high or when there are frequent rains, everything else does not worry me at all. Tomorrow I will move them somewhere where there is a lot less grass because now they have already filled this space and they can't expand any further, so in order for them not to get too long and to go wider I have to move them where the grass and other plants won't bother them. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Candy Rain Auto 🌱🍬🌧️ Week 1 Vegetation | After the Rain Comes Growth Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to the Candy Rain Auto diary. Last week’s update told the story of a second chance. After losing the first seedling during the earliest stages, this genetic was given another opportunity, and thankfully that decision is already proving worthwhile. Sometimes growing teaches us through success. Sometimes it teaches us through mistakes. And sometimes the most rewarding plants are the ones that make us try again. This week marks the beginning of that new chapter. ⸻ From Germination to Establishment Following successful germination and direct planting into Plagron Lightmix, Candy Rain Auto spent the week focusing on what every young plant should be doing: Building roots. Although most of the action happens beneath the soil surface, the photographs clearly show steady progress above ground as well. Each day brought a little more growth. A little more leaf development. A little more confidence. By the end of the week, the seedling had established itself successfully and was beginning the transition from simple survival into active vegetative growth. For a plant that started this journey on a second attempt, that’s exactly what we hoped to see. ⸻ Transplanting Into Her Final Home Like several of the other plants in this project, Candy Rain Auto was transplanted directly into her final container early in life. The objective is simple. Rather than forcing multiple transplant events throughout the grow, the plant can establish its root system immediately within the volume of substrate it will use for the remainder of its life. This minimizes stress and allows energy to remain focused on development rather than recovery. At this stage, what we see above the soil is only part of the story. The real work is happening underneath. ⸻ The Hidden World Beneath the Soil One of the most important additions during transplant was the application of mycorrhizal fungi. Many growers hear the term “mycorrhiza” but may not fully understand what it does. The relationship is actually one of nature’s most fascinating partnerships. Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic connection with plant roots. As the fungi colonize the root zone, they extend microscopic networks far beyond the reach of the roots themselves. Think of it as adding thousands of tiny extensions to the plant’s underground infrastructure. These fungal networks help improve access to: * Water * Phosphorus * Micronutrients * Trace elements * Soil biology interactions In exchange, the plant provides carbohydrates produced through photosynthesis. Both organisms benefit. It’s one of nature’s oldest and most successful partnerships. For young plants, establishing this relationship early can help create a stronger foundation for future development. While we cannot directly see those fungal networks working underground, the goal is to create a healthy living rhizosphere that supports the plant throughout its entire life cycle. ⸻ Environmental Conditions Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 55% ⚡ Light schedule: 12/12 from seed 🌱 Plagron nutrient program 💡 Future Of Grow Black Series LED lighting 💨 Gentle airflow and stable environmental control Consistency remains one of the most important factors during early development. Young plants respond exceptionally well when conditions remain predictable and stress-free. ⸻ Early Development Despite being younger than some of her sisters due to the restart, Candy Rain Auto spent the week making steady progress. Leaf color remained healthy. Stem development remained strong. Growth stayed compact and balanced. Each new photograph shows a little more confidence as the plant begins to settle into her environment. The first true leaves are developing nicely, and the newest growth emerging from the center indicates that root establishment is progressing exactly as intended. At this stage, patience is often rewarded. Healthy roots today become vigorous growth tomorrow. ⸻ A Reminder About Second Chances One of the things I enjoy most about documenting grows honestly is showing that mistakes happen. The first Candy Rain Auto never made it. That is simply part of cultivation. But instead of ending the story there, we adjusted the approach, learned from the experience, and tried again. This plant now stands as a reminder that one unsuccessful attempt doesn’t define the outcome. Sometimes success arrives on the second try. ⸻ First Impressions So far, Candy Rain Auto is doing exactly what a healthy young plant should be doing. Strong emergence. Healthy color. Steady growth. Successful root establishment. And a promising partnership already developing beneath the soil through the mycorrhizal network. Most importantly, she’s proving that the second attempt was absolutely worth it. ⸻ Looking Ahead The foundation has now been established. Over the coming weeks we’ll continue documenting her development under the 12/12-from-seed project while monitoring structure, vigor, growth rate, and any unique characteristics she chooses to reveal. For now, the focus remains simple: Build roots. Build strength. Build momentum. Because after every storm comes growth. And after every rain, sooner or later, the sun returns. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along on another seed-to-harvest adventure. Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚🍬🌧️

Day 37 11/30/2021- Welcome to week four of flower. I see lots of trichomes everywhere and the smell is starting to pick up as well. Day 39 12/02/2021- Water day for them. Also camera needed update but made it work. IOS/ANDRIOD PAR METER APP. It is very accurate highly recommended this for everyone. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/photone-grow-light-meter/id1450079523 Will update daily will time lapse video. Day 40 12/03/2021- Lots of trichomes everywhere. Buds are also forming up nicely. Day 42 12/05/2021- Just water this girl today. Today also is the last day of the week, we should be have ways done hopefully harvest by the end of the month. Will do last top feed on Wednesday.

This girl smells like gas and oranges. I supercropped one of the ends and plan to do it to the other end next week. I tied all her sites down parallel to the coco and defoliated a bit. Just wanted to expose the bud sites since the colas are so close. At the end of the week i pulled all the ties out so hopefully they fill in and grow upward. She is starting to pack on a little weight. Still some time though. Heavy koolblooom action

D78 I started to give them ripen with flora duo grow and bloom D85 lil regular sesh of defo on cc and gsc -Also started to flush them with Florakleen D88 harvest time!! Huge defoliate of all non pollinated leaves and tip of leaf and hanging the ladies head down 😇 Look at these three differents phenos... They smell as wonderful as they looks 😍🙌😍

The ninth week of flowering is now over and the last days of the ladies have begun. The stated 9-10 weeks flowering time is definitely correct. One plant of the Hardcore Zoap was ready a little earlier, but as I want to harvest everything at once, everything is left standing until the majority looks ready. I also preferred to harvest the plants a little more mature than too early. In terms of appearance, I like the Miracle Gushers flowers best, as they have a fine and compact structure. The Banana Creamz seem to be able to develop very thick flowers, whereas the Hardcore Zoap seems to have the lowest yield. I will be able to say more after drying and weighing.

New harvest pics added!! Amazing strain, this one is in my top 5! I had to make a few adjustments to the harvest results, i had 9 plants in total under a 1000w 4 of them were chocolate mint og the other 5 were bubbas gift. 4 plants taking up less than half the wattage and space works out at around 0.55 GPW

Because of initial overfertilization problems, I watered the plant without adding nutrients. After 15 days the girl shows a N deficiency. I will start with nutrients again but with very low dosage considering that i will start flushing the plant probably in 1/1,5 week.

Daily reports: Day 1. Watering - Night: 6.0 pH 636 ppm 3.0 l => 5.95 pH 1120 ppm 0.6 l Day 2. Watering - Night: 6.0 pH 596 ppm 3.0 l => 5.6 pH 2250 ppm 0.4 l Day 3.

Todo marcha como corresponde, esta vez se regó con Flawless Finish para que las plantas se alimenten de los últimos nutrientes y ya secando el sustrato comenzamos la cosecha. Próxima semana finaliza el cultivo. El aroma que mantienen estas nenas me ha dejado encantada!! 😍

A je to 👍

This baby seems to be going into the first stages of flower. Ill know first sure next week. Will post updates soon.

10/27/2025 - Day 63 Short Facts: - 45cm tall - VPD @ 1.2 - Light @ 60% - Showing very small flowers ----------------------------------------------------- It doesn’t look like there’s going to be a big stretch. She’s staying smaller and more compact than the Papayton. I defoliated her a little bit and tried to remove a few of the very small branches, but she’s just too compact, so it wasn’t that easy. I decided to stop for now. She grows as she grows. 😎 I can’t change much about it, so I’ll just let her do her thing. Honestly, apart from being smaller and very compact, there are zero problems. Everything else is perfectly fine. Nothing more to report this week, except that I decided not to switch the normal Blumats to the Blumat Maxi anymore. Instead, I’m watering from the bottom occasionally whenever the Blumat Digital Pro shows a high value, meaning the soil moisture is getting too low.

It's shocking how long the pound cake takes to grow. In the end, it has the whole tent to itself... We're still two weeks away from harvest; let's see what the beast turns out to be.

Day 49 - 10/28/2020 End of Week 7 and now into Week 8! The two Liz's are both the bigger plants as the Chocolate Mint OG over-grew the Chem-Bomb Autos from my other diary. Even though both CMOG Auto seeds sprouted later/struggled to start the stress seems to have worked in my favour as it has in the past. I let them dry out a bit and gave them the final defoliation and LST set up to pull apart the plant and get light to all the secondary sites. Popsicle Sticked the bottoms of the smaller sites that would have taken energy away for larf so each site should be set up for quality over quantity. These are the two biggest auto plants I have grown so far so I am excited to see how thick the buds get on this one with the addition of the OG Kush Auto genetics compared to my Chocolate Mint OG Photo grow. Seems like the two I popped have really cut out the GrandDaddyPurp influence in the original photo line. No grape smell yet. Upped the nutes and molasses on the first feed yesterday Oct 28th. Took it well and no burning so after my next plain water ill add a bit more for the end of week 3 of flower. I didn't get them under the ScrOG in time because i had a partial brake on a Chem-Bomb so you can see in the group pictures i just applied the classic "tie to my pot" LST 😂 Will try to update for Week 8 ASAP, been back to work past few weeks so my free time to update has been cut down unfortunately. Thanks for checking in! Throw down a like and/or follow so I can return the favour! -- IG: @GlazedGrow (Let me know you're from GrowDiaries so I'll follow back!)

420 Fastbuds Amnesia Haze Auto Week 4 This week has been exciting for sure. Since the mild defoliation I did a week ago, they bounced back like I never took any leaves off to begin with. I still have only watered 2 liters of straight well water daily and they seem to be absolutely fine. All in all Happy Growing Everyone.

Ehi ragazzi eccoci qua! Ho deciso di dare un altra settimana di vegetativa, forse anche due, perché voglio dare il tempo alla pianta di sviluppare i rami e le foglie più resistenti e sviluppati possibile per avere una buona struttura, da cui partire per avere delle belle cime proporzionate, sarà molto difficile tenere in ordine così tante piante geneticamente diverse, perché ognuna so già che crescerà diversamente dalle altre, e dovrò stare attento alle esigenze nutrizionali di ogni pianta, avrà un regime leggermente modificato e vedrò come si comporteranno, anche se cercherò di fertilizzare nel modo più omogeneo possibile e uguale per tutte, vedremo staremo a vedere, ho grandi aspettative soprattutto da queste due genetiche record di thc! Speriamo che tutto proceda per il meglio, ringrazio come al solito Mars hydro per avermi donato il suo equipaggiamento che sta rendendo possibile tutti i miei sogni più proibiti! La lampada per ora è al 65 % circa delle potenza, ma aumenterà di sicuro appena cambierò il ciclo di ore di luce la prossima settimana,... Grazie che vi fermate a vedere i miei diari, per me tutto questo apprezzamento è davvero importante perché nel mio paese (Italia) chi consuma coltiva cannabis è perseguitato alla stregua di un mafioso criminale, nonostante è grazie all auto coltivazione che io nn do più un soldo ai mafiosi, dovrebbero ringraziarci tutti perché stiamo combattendo la criminalita organizzata autoproducendo ciò che altrimenti dovremmo comprare sul mercato illegale... Scusate lo sfogo, ma questi messaggi ogni tanto fanno bene che la situazione venga presa in considerazione ogni tanto, altrimenti non ci sarà alcun passo verso una legalizzazione per il bene di tutti! Pace! ✌️💪😎🌱🌿🌲🧑‍🌾🔥

Today is day 72 from seed!! This week went real well , 2 of the Forbiddin Runtz have been getting flushed an the rest will also start flush through this next week, I can’t believe the smell of this combo strain,, super fruity smelling an all are super sticky!! Stay tuned for next week yall !

Hello Growmies, The final chapter of this incredible journey has unfolded, and it's time to share the bountiful harvest and reflections on the entire cultivation process. Trimming the plant was a joy, and with gentle fingers, I removed all the large fan leaves. The precision in this process revealed the true beauty of the buds, setting the stage for a smooth harvest. With care and gratitude, the plant was chopped, and the buds were hung to dry. The anticipation for what lies ahead only adds to the sense of accomplishment. The wet weight, excluding fan leaves, stands at an impressive 782 grams. The buds are massive, a testament to the efficacy of the nutrients used, particularly the Power Buds. The name seems apt, as the result is a collection of sticky, dense buds with subtle lemon notes and sweet pungent undertones. In the final moments, the plant unveiled some delightful purple hues. While I wish I could have allowed them to intensify further, it's a reminder that each grow is a learning experience. In hindsight, a slightly longer fading period would have accentuated those beautiful colors. We live and learn, and that's the essence of this journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron and Zamnesia for hosting this amazing contest. The quality of the products and the support throughout the journey have been invaluable. As this chapter concludes, I'm left with a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for the collective experience we've shared. The plant's growth, from seed to harvest, has been a testament to the art and science of cultivation. Feel free to check out my other adventures in my bigger environments, until then...happy growing! Stay Lifted Salokin
