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..

AH day 52. look amazing and growing rapidly. respond very well to the LST. small nuggets are showing. I have set up the RO water filter, and are producing 0.0EC water now. I need to contact bigplantscience tomorrow and hear about nutrient mix for this kind of water. Day 55(and 43 for the FB and SK) I am convinced that my grow light is not efficient, and this is why the flowers have not developed more that they have. I have ordered two Mars Hydro TS 3000W, so lets hope it is not too late. I have notes a few leaves with the crow on the tips, I don't think it's alarming as it is only a few. I have made a video of the setup Day 59 FB- omg it has growed so much. the 20L pot has the root going out of the fabric. I cannot LST it anymore, so I will let it grow. Day 59 SK it is in 2nd place but supposedly is will have more weeks in flower that the FB. The past week I have adjusted the RO to contain 1.0 EC for the FB and SK and the runoff is actually lower. Don't know if this is a good thing or not. I have also increased the fertigation to 1,5 L twice a day.

Another week gone for these 2 girls, they are looking very good and strong, getting some lovely autumn colours coming on the one at back so think she will be down soon. Will start to check trichomes on her next few days, as for the other one she’s just starting to fill out now, keeping the feed going for another week or so. Amazed by the amount of thc that’s on the girl looking forward to getting her down and trying her. Happy growing🌱

This week was a real breeze! She's gaining a ton of weight on the bud sites and she's really growing nicely! She's starting to bud around the flowering sites and really finishing nicely. The formation of bracks and the formation of the buds is my favorite part because that's when you get to see somewhat of the final picture and the time the flower is most colorful! Now the second best part is harvesting the flower for smoking which will be occuring soon! The smell on these girls is very invigorating!! She's putting out a smell of a Apple Tart! You can smell the Apple Strudel right away when you open up the tent! I can't believe how big she's got and how beautiful they are coming along! I have to say that this is one of my favorites to grow and my favorite smelling strain! I also love the way the flowers are stacking on the colas!!! The frost on top of the cola leaves is insane! During the day I drop the humidity down to 45-50% and then at night I raise the humidity up to 60-65% which helps a ton with flower promotion during the flowering stage! Also, I raise the temperature during the day to 80° and at night I lower the temperature to 55°-60° which helps mimic the autumn temperatures that aids a ton in flower production in the flowering stage!!! I'll be stopping the two Apple Strudel Auto's from receiving any synthetic nutrients soon and flushing them once harvest is closer. It will be within the next two weeks or so! I do that because they'll stop taking nutrients in and start to self canabulize as a normal (ending) part of plant life. Then I'll give the two ladies plain pH balanced H20 for the next 2 weeks to flush any and all nutrients out of them. Then three days of darkness. Finally I'll chop them down to hang in my harvesting closet for 7-14 days with a dehumidifier on at 65% humidity. Then I'll place the flower into the trimmer and then into the grove bags for the last step in harvesting! The grove bags will keep the flower at 58-62% humidity. They also help keep the flower fresh longer, the Terpenes fresh, the Terpenes flavors, and from becoming moldy or dried out! I've used both these and the mason jars with boveda humidity packs but to me the grove bags are a must and a go to fail safe!!! All you do is hang your buds upside down at 60/60 or 65/60 for 7-10 days or until the braches snap and make that noise. Thanks and as always stay safe, stay high, and stay blessed!

Day 64 02/09/24 Monday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag. Day 66 04/09/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today only. Smell is really coming on strong now!! Day 69 07/09/24 Saturday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Depression has hit, so has mould 🤦‍♂️😔 Had to chop her main colar, and two sides, so the overall production will be more than halfed... But I will finish diary off till she completes. I hope I saved her

Dear friends of growdiaries, welcome back. Welcome to the jungle. The nutrients plus the genetics of the seeds, is doing an incredible job. As you can see in the photos, some leaves burned, this is because in one night they grew by 12/15 cm, and did not give me time to lift the lamp. Incredible. I started to fold and lst all 5 plants otherwise in the square meter available there would not be. I regret not having been able to scrog, because otherwise who knows what would have come out of it. See you next week friends. Have fun and happy grow. Doctor Cannas

Week 8(Veg) This week the LST’d, Biggie smalls the wife calls her 😀, plant is really doing well. Tons of tops starting to form. I’m really getting excited about this plant. The wife and I rearranged the closet that I’m growing in. It looks much better and it’s easier to use than before. Also it doesn’t look so half ass’d. Couple more weeks of veg for this girls and then she’s going to the grow tent and into bloom. The normal plant will just be a mother.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de floracion de estas Lemonpaya feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros que además provocó un shock que también solucione. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las flores empezaron a formarse y progresan a buen ritmo. No entiendo que a sucedido , uno de los 2 ejemplares tiene un bloqueo severo de nutrientes, estoy controlando el Ph correctamente y la alimentación ración pues corte a ver si vuelve a reestructurarse. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨
