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..

Hallo zusammen, wie gestern angesprochen ist es nun so weit. Die Green Gelato´s und ihre nebst Gefährtin Secret Source, haben ihr Lebensziel erreicht und wurden kopfüber in 2 separaten Zelten aufgehängt. Es wurde schon sehr eng in dem 80er Zelt, wo die drei Gelato´s verblieben sind. Wir haben auch beide Zelte miteinander mit der Luftzufuhr verbunden, so das wir beide Zelte jetzt mit einem 100er Abluftventilator betreiben. Der Abluftschlauch liegt im Fenster- Kit, was noch von dem Klimagerät vorinstalliert war und wird nach außen abgeführt. Die ideale Trocknungstemparatur (höchstens 18° Grad Celsius) bekommen wir aufgrund des Sommers leider nicht ganz gewährleistet. Aber auch positiv, wir sind keine 10° Grad Celsius drüber^^ Zur relativen Raumfeuchte: Wir fahren im Moment mit ca. 66- 68 % was trotz momentanen Regen nicht schlecht ist zum Anfang. Ein wildes Tagebuch mit einigen Tiefen Aber uns das ist uns das wichtigste, mit einem positiven Ende trotz allem :-) Wir hoffen, dass wir auch mit negativen Momenten den ein oder anderen ggf. vielleicht bei seinen nächsten ähnlichen Erfahrungen eher helfen können bzw. etwas mitnehmen konnten. Auch wir, haben in diesem Lauf wieder vieles gelernt, festigen und oder verbessern können. Einige Stellschrauben werden wir demnächst eher stellen, anders Einstellen. Es hört nie auf und das, dass ist glaube ich das Leidenschaftlich phänomenale für uns auf dieser Ebene :-) Ansonsten viel Spaß mit einigen Fotos und Video! Ein herzliches Danke schön auch an alle großartigen Growmies, die stets mit Rat und oder auch guten Zusprüchen wie Komplimenten uns zur Seite standen! Auch ihr habt uns sehr animiert ;-) Eigentlich sind wir schon etwas müde, dennoch müssen dieses Jahr noch Restanten und aufgearbeitetes auf ihrem Weg begleitet werden. Da mir (männlich) im Herbst ca. auch wieder eine größere OP bevor steht, wird das dann für dieses Jahr auch mal der letzte Lauf sein. Auch den Garten werden wir in Zukunft aufgrund dessen erstmal sein lassen. Smoke Report wird noch folgen, die Buds sehen wieder schön fest aus und zeigen ein starkes Terpenen Profil. Wir hoffen sehr, dass es auch so mundet wie es doch final aussieht. Vielen Dank an alle Growmies die unsere Updates verfolgen, liken und oder auch Kommentieren. Wir wünschen allen ein angenehmen terpigen Sonntag und viel Erfolg für die kommende Woche! VG euer Team Roots

Another week in Fat Yappa's Garden comes to an end with all the plants still doing well. The Bruce Banner which I snapped the stem just above the second node from the top is pretty much ready for the chop, the other two more mature plants are not too far behind, a week at most, and the Bruce Banner runt has pretty much caught up with her slightly older sisters. The Wedding Cheesecake growing in Canna Coco, which still towers above everything else in the tent at pretty much the same height as the lights, despite her tallest being bent over by LST has developed quite a lot of bud sites but not nearly as chunky as the Bruce Banners, and has started to fade with yellows and purples in the leaves and pistons. Her sister, growing in living soil is probably the furthest behind in the grow but seems to be developing a bit more like the Bruce Banners, and I put this down to the pot of the Coco Coir I used being round and much narrower than the other five, square Viviosun smart pots I used which was a bit of a fail for the LST, especially when combined with the rapid rate this plant took of at, where as I think the other was perhaps stunted a bit by being germinated in a coco coir pellet then placed in soil. I think I will try a peat pellet next time I grow in living soil and see if that improves it. The plants have remained on there same water schedule but I have noticed the more mature plants taking much less water. The most mature plant could probably go three days on 2.5l now, where as a week or two these plants had 2.5l daily over two days and then began to slow down again. I have kept the PH between 6.5 and 6.8 as I read its better for flowering to aim for the higher end of the range, especially when growing with dry amendments. Day 66 saw another compost tea, the same recipe as previously but this time I increased the bat guano from 1 to 2 tablespoons. Other than that I have continued to defoliate once a week, opening up light to the canopy and tried to open it up with a tightening of the LST ties. Stress in regard to the different stages of plant development increase as Harvest nears, as I was previously envisaging me drying in the tent and cutting the plants in a oner, but I have order a ThermPro TP50, and the rest is next weeks problem. Happy Growing one and all, thanks for following my grow and I look forward to updating you all again next week

They are runing well. More light would be better. Still doubt about defoliation. Thinking to make last heavy one on week 7 and start to flush at the end of it. Girls super healthy, i think i will easy beat 1g/w... Fingers crossed ;) Extra : Made second round of defoliation. All looks great ! Plus some night footage before defoliation If you ask where i found courage to make it again : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m7j3GMgKEM0 Miami Mango conviced me again ;) P.s. my plants where all time healthy, thats why i can try out such tricks. Anyway one plant no clearing, no lolitoping, no defoliation. We shall see the weight results, i have a competitor for her. On third week of flowering they both where the same. Time will tell ... I rotate my plants everyday so they get even light and same feeding. P.s.2 Plant in the midle is Choco Lopez auto, dont count her ;) i did all the same to her as to other photoperiod plants. She is the Beast ;) P.s.3 24 hours after dofoliation they started to smell really hard... Citrus and berries aroma all the way .. No sign of stress and easy to see how healthy they are , still blooming ;) P.s. 4 I always work with plants before watering them and when i harm them - i always water with ph water only. Soil is ritch enough and if damage will happen less feeding will reduse it ...

The 3 THE PURPS plants from BC-BUD-DEPOT grew very nice and healthy. One of the plant turned totally purple in the leaves and in the bud during flowering, she was A BEAUTY! The buds were of average size and are not too dense, but sparkling with trichomes. The FLAVOR is OUTSTANDING...she is DELICIOUS! Her grape- jolly-rancher (=hard-candy) aroma transcends directly into her flavor when smoked. VERY SMOOTH and an ABSOLUTELY DELIGHT on the inhale and the exhale. The 3 plants harvested 156,2 gram dried bud, which is a nice average yield of 52 grams per plant.

I had alot of fun growing this strain, everytime I opened the tent and smelled that delicious strawberry, it really brought a smile to my face. I have tried Strawberry Pie #1, and she is delicious. The buds are extremely dense, and have a very nice pink and green contrast. I haven't tried #2 or #3 yet, but I am very much looking forward to it after some more curing time. I ended up making bubble hash out of the trim, and I got 8 grams, which I pressed into 4.7 grams of rosin, and all I can is that this is some of the best tasting and strongest rosin I have ever tried, let alone grown. I will be posting some videos of the flower being pressed once it is properly cured. I will say that after smoking, I realized I need some more Sativa for daytime use, so I am giving my Gorilla Cookies to a friend, and starting some Orange Sherbet instead. As a delicious night time/dessert smoke, and especially for those into concentrates, you absolutely can't go wrong. Thanks for checking me out and blaze on!

Plant 2 harvested 8.5 weeks from seed to harvest Plant 1 harvested 9 weeks from seed to harvest These ones swelled up and grew at lightning speed compared to the rest... wish that third seed had germinated now ;) I'm putting Ripper Seeds autos up in the top spot for now, 100% - this and Zombie Kush auto grow last year have been huge yields and really fast to grow. They just have these immense top colas (for those who prefer to leave the plant untouched - I don't do anything to my plants, no defoliation, LST, etc. Mostly because I'm really lazy when it comes to these things.

Pre flowering has begun and she's all bent up to take advantage of the stretch and see if we can improve the yields of this micro grow. She's definitely strong and becoming increasingly gassy as well. I told ya the good times were coming soon and here they are.

Thought I’d join the tiny pot challenge for fun. This is a Smoothie Autoflower from Fastbuds in a skull chalice! -Placed seed with pointed tip downwards directly into Ocean Forest in chalice. -Sprayed the top with a tiny bit of water -Placed into tent that’s temp/humidity is staying constant at 77-79F and 65-70%RH -Soil seems to be drying very quickly so added more water until it was moist and put a small humidity dome on top -Was having some issues with the soil drying up too quick so I started over with a peat pellet like I usually do and the seed popped in 3 days. Should have done this in the first place 😝
