Some light mania has me itching for projects. I have tiny pots, a bunch of free seeds and no space. Could I grow them by the window under a desk lamp? I might be able to tuck them into the tent if they actually grow for me. I want to try out some LST for cute bonsai-style trees. I’m not confident that I will have much success but this is purely a learning experiment. Let’s see how much I can abuse these autos 😅 - Sept 22 AM: Popped 3 Cookie Dog autoflower seeds into a glass of bottled spring water for a pre-soak of 14 hours. - Sept 22 PM: Put the seeds into folded paper towel, ceramic plate, more bottled spring water, uncovered in warm room. - Sept 23 AM: One seed has started to pop after only 10 hours! - Sept 23 PM: The seeds have all cracked but haven’t grown tap roots yet. I planted the 3 seeds into various small pots to finish germinating in seeding mix instead so I would stop checking on them in the paper 🙃 - Sept 24: nothing happening above ground. They are in the tent with lights 24/0 so I covered them with larger pots to give some darkness. Placed pots on a heating mat. - Sept 25 AM: the 2 seeds in the smallest pots have emerged! The were touching the plastic wrap when I checked on them so I hope they are ok. - Sept 27 PM: 1st seedling doing good, 2nd seedling still has her seed leaves closed so I’m misting her, and 3rd.. I accidentally flipped her pot over. She’s gone. First Impressions: Seeds germinated in soil after 36 hours, 72 hours from when I first left them to pre-soak and let the seeds crack in paper towel 24 hours.. that was 24-48 hours faster than the other test groups that used paper towel method until tap root formed and waiting for the germinated seed to emerge.. I might skip waiting for a tap root in paper towel going forward but I do like knowing the seed is viable before putting in soil so I know if it doesn’t grow it was something I did wrong. End of week thoughts.. Well.. I fucked around with these seeds too much, exposed the roots to light, let them almost dry out, dropped them, had the temps too low, the heating mat too hot, kicked out over.. 😅😅 I didn’t really give them a chance and yet still somehow I got 2 contenders in pint sized pots 🤷‍♀️the experiment continues..

Week 2 Veg Update: Thriving and Surviving! Hey there, fellow plant pals! It's time for another juicy update on my Anesia phenohunt adventure. Buckle up, 'cause things are getting seriously green around here! First things first – let's talk survivors. Remember our shy friend, Red Banana Pudding #2? Well, against all odds, it's the last one standing, and let me tell you, it's stealing the show! With its tenacity and charm, it's quickly becoming the MVP of this green extravaganza. But hey, let's not forget about the rest of the gang. Future#1, Zoomiez, and Apricot Oreo are all flexing their leafy muscles and reaching for the sky. Each one is a unique masterpiece, showcasing its own personality and potential. It's like having a botanical art gallery right in my grow room! Now, let's talk stats 'cause we love a good data dive. TDS is sitting pretty at 420, temps are a cozy 21 degrees, and pH is a sweet spot at 5.9. It's like Goldilocks and the Three Bears – everything's just right for optimal growth. Feeding time is where the magic happens, and I'm sticking with my trusty Aptus Holland veg mix. This stuff is like plant fuel on steroids, giving my babies the nutrients they need to thrive and shine. From root to leaf, it's a symphony of growth and vitality. Now, let's spread some love and gratitude. Huge shoutout to Anesia Seeds for crafting these genetic wonders. You guys are the wizards behind the curtain, and I'm just grateful to be along for the ride. Big thanks to Grow Diaries for being the stage where this green drama unfolds.

Day 36 Flower (Day 78) Today is the first day of week six of flower and on this glorious day, I went to war against the fungus gnats. By war, I mean watering each girl with 5 million Nematodes in 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. That should hopefully do the trick and get rid of the annoying little shits. I also experimented a bit more with bud photography and this time I used an LED ring flash. The next step is to shoot during the dark period so I don't get any supplemental light from the grow lights. That was pretty much it today as it is mostly just coasting along at this point in the grow. Day 37 Flower (Day 79) The left girl got pampered with a new light today. Let's see if those extra photons can help her fatten up. She also got a CO2 bag to help her to soak up all those juicy photons. The right girl on the other hand just got her daily watering. Today with 3 liters at pH 6.6. Day 38 Flower (Day 80) All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water and started brewing some compost tea to feed tomorrow. I used a simple recipe this time with just some worm castings and molasses to increase the microbial activity, as well as a bit of neem meal for some additional nutrition but also to help against pests. The fungus gnats in the tents are almost gone. The nematodes took care of the gnat larvae and the yellow sticky traps have been catching the adults. Day 39 Flower (Day 81) Super chill day. I just gave each girl 3 liters of compost tea at pH 6.2. Done. Day 40 Flower (Day 82) I gave 3 liters of pH 6.5 water to the right girl and supported some of her branches as they're getting heavy with buds. Boom! Day 41 Flower (Day 83) Today I gave each girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. The gnats look to be defeated for now. I can't see any in the tents and the yellow sticky traps are empty. Day 42 Flower (Day 84) The last day of the sixth week of flower and all is going great in the tents. The heatwave we were having went away, which kind of sucks on a personal and social level, but it's great for the girls as the tents were swelteringly hot. The left girl is 103 cm tall and didn't grow anything this week. She has started to fatten up a bit now since I installed a more powerful light, but she is still lagging far behind the right girl. I'm interested to see if she is only lagging behind in time and will fatten up eventually, or if her ordeal has stunted her flowers, resulting in a bunch of larf. Time will tell. Either way, it will be a learning experience. The right girl also didn't grow vertically this week (thankfully!). Her 123 cm is tall enough to be dangerously close to the lights. She is fattening up nicely but still some time to go before she is done. I haven't checked any trichomes yet but should probably start checking next week. Today was another chill late-flower day, I just gave the left girl 2 liters of pH 6.7 water, and the right got 3 liters at pH 6.5.

week intel: it was the time to prune the cover crops this week i chopped them - no problem all good stresses : just a little E.C stress around 1.4 once a week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them heavy with silicate +base nutrients(calcium & micros + Bloom) about 707 ppm - 1.4 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Feeding Booster around 275 ppm - 0.57 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them with normal dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 213 ppm - 0.42 e.c to let them recover the stresses to get ready for another stress next week. guide of the week : autos do so so so much better with 20 hours light per day pls dont run autos near femenized 1 of them must get sacrificed

Left tent is a week ahead. Fair amount of stretching this week. This time I’m paying close attention to keep flower sites high up. My experiment with bottom lighting did not went so great. I had a record yield but the quality was really bad in about 30-35% of flowers. Weak density. I’m definitely going to try again from the beginning but not this time. I have to pay attention to not let any plant get to big of a dryback in veg. It really influences the later stretching and make the plant too compact in sensitive cultivars.

An easy to grow strain that provides quality over quantity. The smoke is quite potent and has floral and kush aromas. Very strong floral flavour

Description Autoflowering strain. This is the result of the cross between our most awarded strain, the original Cream Caramel®️ (SWS04), and an exotic purple flowered autoflowering strain, descending from Pakistani Kush ancestors. This plant looks like an indica strain, with a short internodal distance, numerous small branches in the main stem, compact buds and a big main cola. This strain is a great resin producer. The aroma of Black Cream Auto®️ (SWS37) is very sweet and fruity, with a background that features outstanding earthy tones inherited from our Cream Caramel®️. Gender Feminised Genes 95% Indica / 5% Sativa Genetics Cream Caramel x Pakistani Kush (automatic) Harvest 350 - 550 g/m² Flowering 32 - 42 days THC 15.0 - 18.0% CBD 0.7 - 0.8% Vegetation 21 - 36 days Ruderalis 3% Room Type Indoor Room Type Outdoor Room Type Greenhouse

What I could call a successful LST. The plant was lush from birth and having to keep myself low and to experience LST I tried one of the first times that I am very good at. The main cola is not huge but from there to the immediate vicinity there are scary inflorescences. The sides a little bit for the FImming a little bit for LST that distributes a little even for the strai are not bad at all, bigger than usual and with a delicious appearance. I am supporting it with a system of wires but there is maybe it could be done alone it is not to be touched and very much I do not know if next week I will take the photos but between two surely yes, flush started a great harvest is coming soon.

So langsam geht es in die Endrunde. Das Zelt duftet herrlich, und die Pflanzen sind ein Traum. Die kleine hat 52 cm die große Dame hat 105 cm . Mein Meterstab war gebrochen und ich habe das viel zu spät bemerkt. Die Pflanzen nehmen die Nährstoffe nach wie vor auf, und Verhalten sich ruhig. Die Durban Poison wird am Ende mehrere kleine Buds liefern. Die Pflanzen hat insgesamt auch mehr Blattwuchs, und treibt auf die Seite. Die Mango Cream x Cinderella wächst hingegen Strukturiert mit wenigen Blättern nach oben. Ein Traum für das Trimmen der Pflanze..

As you can see the white powdery mold is starting to lose my thoughts were getting a HEPA filter into the room . 2) because this mold mostly lives on leaves what I did is I locked out the soil. This was a technique passed on by a legacy grower in my area.The way it was explained is by making the pH higher than seven the plant would no longer be able to receive nutrients through the soil and it would have to eat whatever nutrients are left in the leaves. This woukd change the pH of the leaves aswell to help kill the mold . Lastly I greatly increased my wind movement so that air would be continuously moving no matter what it was a little bit hard on the leave tips that burnt a little bit but at this point windburn on leaves is pretty irrelevant when you're looking at the whole picture. I don't think this would have worked with any other genetics but exotic seeds mostly because from what I've seen with them is a very high resistance to mold and I think that played a huge part of the process. Also having diablo nutrients monster wash, without that I do not think I would have won this battle

The differences between sativa and indica really surprised me..I had no idea they were so different. I thought 2 of my plants were just bad seeds LOL!! but they are mostly sativa and my other 2 are mostly indica...Talk about a difference!!! WOW!!!
