Posting this as I’m on the last few days of the 3rd week from germination Great progress, a lot of roots for such a short period but not too much plant growth, will start watering daily instead of watering every 2-3 days Topped the girls today (Day 18 from germ) and starting to do mainline on all the Bubba kush.

2023-09-08 First of ll, thank you team @Kannabia, especially to Zoraida. he hnded me the Freebees at the Spannabis this Year, after i showed him my previos Kannabia Grow. He said, "Oh as you liked our Strain " La Blanca" you will love the Super OG Kush" he was right, i was fascinated from beginning how vigour and well structred those OG Kush were growing and when Buds appeard i was totally overwhlmed. so for me the Perfect Strain. 👉easy to grow 👉super structure 👉great ratio from Buds to Leaves 👉wonderful packed Colas 👉crusted with Trichomes 👉for me absolutely recommendable Strain👉👉https://www.kannabia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/super-og-kush

Day 77 The plant is deep into late flowering now, and the buds are clearly maturing. Trichome coverage has noticeably increased-most are cloudy, with only a few remaining clear. Pistils are starting to darken and curl inward, although there are still some fresh light-colored hairs emerging. The aroma has intensified, becoming richer and more pungent when the lights warm up. The leaves show a slight fade, mostly around the edges, which is normal at this stage as the plant reallocates energy toward bud development. No signs of stress or significant nutrient issues, Humidity and airflow remain stable to prevent mold since the buds are now dense and sticky Section Fully Updatet.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Today, I'm thrilled to share the grand finale of our journey with the remarkable Big Cheese Auto from Seeds Mafia. At day 81 from seed, she reached the pinnacle of her splendor, and the harvest was nothing short of spectacular. As I gently snipped each ripe bud, I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty and resilience of our Big Cheese Auto. From the moment she emerged as a seedling, she embodied strength, vigor, and an unwavering determination to flourish. Now, as she hangs upside down to dry for the next two weeks, I'm filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the privilege of witnessing her growth. Our journey with the Big Cheese Auto has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the excitement of germination to the meticulous care during vegetative growth, from the anticipation of flowering to the aromatic crescendo of the harvest, each phase has been a testament to the plant's resilience and the joy of cultivation. The journey began with a tiny seed, a promise of potential waiting to be fulfilled. With the nurturing support of the Autopot system and the guidance of Aptus Holland's nutrients, our Big Cheese Auto thrived, transforming into a botanical marvel with each passing week. From the emergence of her first true leaves to the explosion of trichome-rich buds, she captivated us at every turn. A heartfelt thank you to Seeds Mafia for providing the genetics that sparked this incredible journey. Your seeds have not only produced exceptional plants but have also inspired a community of passionate cultivators. Your dedication to quality and innovation is truly commendable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to cultivate such remarkable genetics. Before the trimming and curing process begins, I took the time to capture the beauty of our Big Cheese Auto in a special photo shoot. Each snapshot is a testament to her magnificence, a visual ode to the journey we've shared together. To the entire community, both near and far, thank you for accompanying me on this horticultural odyssey. Your support, encouragement, and shared passion for cultivation have made this journey all the more rewarding. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together!

4/8 - They are doing great. PPFD at 800. Debating if I want to do CO2 this grow, because I could easily get 1000 PPFD out of this light. That means adding a dehumidifier to keep a sealed environment, but don't think there's enough of a cost benefit. Might just add more far red at lights on and lights off to try and get a little more vegetative stretch before I switch over to 12/12. Clock is ticking. Mother-in-law shows up 6/15, and I'll want it chopped by then. 4/8 - on further calculation, I'm switching to flower today. Never switched this early before, but we'll see how it goes, eh? 4/9 - prepping for vacation. Bought new 10 gal Roughneck storage container, mixed new nute mix 2:1:2. EC 1.40 with 0.3 tap water. 11ml of pH down to get PH from 6.4 to 5.8. Ditching the auto fill. Too high risk for flooding without flare fittings. Don't trust cheap-ass quick connect push fittings. 4/10 - turned off "seedling vpd mode" which kept humidity artificially high. Turned on 2nd bank of LED lights, so system is pulling about 370W with lights on, still significantly dimmed down. Turned on light cooling circ fan, which is a sealed aluminum labyrinth tied to two 4"vents. Although, almost all the heat this lamp generates is from radiation, not thermal loss of the LEDs, so the heat sink is barely warm. Lights up to 16" over canopy to allow growth while on vacation. Ppfd at canopy 800. Room temp 81, humidity 73. Auto water time is 30 sec per pot.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Hermi!!!! Our beautiful mystery plant is sporting pollen sacks.. she just went on a field trip.. we're closing this diary out.. we'll let her finish naturally outside and salvage what we can for edibles and bubble hash... a very depressing outcome to a lot of work and training... we don't know if this was genetic or stress induced and have about 3 medium sized plants cloned from her in veg atm.. we're hesitant to flower any of them, instead we're taking all new clones from our GDP thats in 3rd week of flower, hoping for a fast re-veg... thanks for reading..be sure to inspect your plants diligently friends..happy growing

Alright grow cycle, mistakes, improvements, etc... She did stay in veg for too long, her growth was slow and not the best and so she took quite long, next time i'll be there from the beginning so I can take care of her throughout. But her growth is really fun. It is a tall growing sativa with fairly tight noding when trained accordingly, producing long filled colas. The buds grow fairly dense and fluffly but do air out a little when dried. Trichome production was pretty impressive as well as terpene production. She had thrips since her early days but did not seem to mind them at all. I did spray them initially but once flower started I stopped. I believe predatory mites might have been feeding on the pupae in the soil, if that is what this specific species of thrips did, the reason I say that is I could never see adults only larvae. Whatever the case maybe they were there but the population never really increased. Something I did not mention during the grow is that those plants were played music during the days, music that is apparently developed for plants. The 10L pot was WAY too small for a true sustainable living organic and to provide enough space for the plant, that was a mistake, I'd say a 20L would be the bare minimum and still. The bigger the better. The hempy transfer did not hurt the plant and I believe even helped to some extent, BUT, I am still running test on the subject and so can't confirm anything, here are my observations Roots did not colonize the perlite, a little on top and the sides but that was it, I was expecting to see a big root mass in there. I believe hempy are great for salt fert as it hold a soup of nutes where the plant can feed from since the coco only holds very little Whereas in nature most nutrient are in the top soil where the highest amount of decomposition happens, this is where the highest microbial activity happens and so where the plant will find food. Living organic is trying to reproduce nature and so there is no need for the plant's roots to gather at the bottom of the pot. Although it could have potentially provided the plant access to a larger amount of water and possibly more oxygenation of the pot. Those are all theories, please speak up if you have other proofs. In conclusion , unless i get proven otherwise by someone or my latest running experiment , I will not be using hempies again as I believe it brings more complication and issues than a simple fabric pot. The lights, The 600w at the start was good, then I decided to add a 400w...😂 That was completely overkill and not necessary. Waste of electricity. And they started suffering from too much light it seems at some point, I raised the light by a good 30 cm and they were fine. 600 is more than enough. I am happy about how the soil performed but it has room for improvements. As for the watering technique I have been watering large ammount every few days, next time I will be giving constant small amount of water each day and a soak every week or so, I believe the soil might perform better under those conditions. She was also an easy plant to harvest whit her long colas which had very little foliage, I do trim in excess as I like my buds extra clean but the buds are not excessively bushy. The trims were use to make some bubble hash, around 100g of wet trims yielded around 1.5-2g of bubble hash. I did add a negative effect but only because it wouldn't give me a smile otherwise, but to be honnest it barely dries your mouth. The soil is going to be recycled and reused in a next grow. I can't think of anything else at the moment but if you have any question don't hesitate.

They were growing a little bit laggy because they didn't geht enough light. I planted them so deep in the ground that they're not laggy anymore. Now my ladies getting enough light to grow strong ;) Hopefully the temperatures stay above 32 °F/ 0°C. If you want to see my second side and more go and visit my YouTube channel: Grow Before Hoe! (link: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCtbdEJVLLj94qNQbOmxGR1g/feed ) 😉 Keep Growing! 👍

05/04/2022 Glad I waited she did bulk up buds very hard going to give 36 hours of darkness before I cut her and weigh results, She has been dark for 18 hours and starting to smell of moth balls and burnt rubber scent seems to be stronger than usual. Still some clear trichomes maybe L5 percent at most. I've never tried this darkness period before but seems to have a increase in smells at least. I have been trying to keep soil at about 60℅ of its water capacity (feel of pots weight) in anticipation of the dark period in fear of moulding while in the dark so I think I got it right. Besides mild drought stress from lack of water has been linked to higher THC Levels in end product. See you in 18 hours 😀✌️🏻 05/11/2022 7 days and 18 hours lol She is dry enough to snap stem so onto glass for curing, not much of a yield but thats partly my fault . But will try again In a better grow space. My last harvest for a while so I be back when smoking them up 05/28/2022 Deepest Purple buds testing on guest tonight.🙏🏻

*******Week 5 - January 6 to 12, 2020 She entered flower this week. First 2/3s were transition and she was finicky at this time.....still is at the end of the week.....or at minimum certainly not on an autopilot at this point. No issues of anything but for IPM, Friday she was sprayed with Plant Therapy by Lost Coast. Mixed at 2ml/L. Done at lights out but was a little slow and ended up spraying about 20 minutes after lights out. Things seemed fine and she had great growth over Saturday night. The first part of the week the growth was not as vertical. By the end of the week she had shot up. Finally feel comfortable removing some leaves now and there was a slight defoliation this week. Now should have a good form to her with four tops competing for the “top spot”......no FIM either........LST works👋. Expect to see more vertical growth this week. She was 16” tall and 24” wide by weeks end. Tied her down twice this week. She has 2 main stems competing each other, of 4 or 5, but think I will let the two of them duke it out and I will keep them the same height as each other💪😎💪 This strain is supposed to have some fat buds on the AMS and given this girl will not do the same with LST, I will see how these 2 form compared to the other large branches. I still have a couple more seeds from this pack so learning a bit for the future as well.👊 First half of the week she stayed droopy on the lower 2/3’s. Might have been pushing her a bit....a little wet causing droopy and getting pretty green so she is getting the nutes😳😡😳. Dry out day on Thursday and water only on Friday. Backed off the light more and she has taken off finally over the weekend.👊 She has not liked the light at full power at 18”......lowered power and backed off to 40” for a day and she was better. Lowered down again to 28” with HLG at 50% and holding there for now. Still going to sleep about an hour and half before lights out but getting better. We are getting close to half way👏 Little more detail: Mon - Jan 6/20 - Day 29 - 2L water ph 5.5......finished last week a little high. Bringing pH down a bit. - runoff water from last feed 900ppm, 6.1pH. After feed runoff 610ppm, 5.7pH Tues - Jan 7/20 - Day 30 - dry-out day - looking like a ball :) Wed - Jan 8/20 - Day 31 - since nothing yesterday she was fed at 6:30am today. 900ppm with 6.0pH - 1.5L - run-off: 700ppm, 6.0pH - pots were light late in evening and no time next morning.....watered again late today. - 2L in PM with 975ppm, 5.9pH. - run-off: 650ppm, 6.0pH. - small growth removed from lowest branches. They will be blocked anyway. - she is certainly getting greener. Thurs - Jan 9/20 - Day 32 - sick today.....I did nothing for her :( - dry-out day.....pots were still okay in evening......or good enough Fri - Jan 10/20 - Day 33 - she is standing up more today....main branches starting to take off. - water only today......1L with 6.01pH.....kept light.....giving IPM - Spray with Plant Therapy 12:30pm, 2ml/L (2Tbsp/gal) - Everything is fine but I have fought thrips before and have two cats....spray them💀👻💀 Love pets like crazy but even when not allowed in the grow room I still find their hair here and there in my bud shots😇👹😇 Sticky buds love that😥😪 Sat - Jan 11/20 - Day 34 -she is pretty happy today. 4 main stems competing. - pots were light....she is feeding well. - gave 2L feed but DF went in at 2ml/L by mistake..... 1,000ppm, 6.05pH. - Terpinator upped to 3ml/L from 2ml prior. Sun - Jan 12/20 - Day 35 - Huge growth last night....leaves filling out, standing up, and node spacing growing.💪🙏😍 - Flower sites are tight together.....she will stack nicely😛👌 - focus on some supplementals with flower going. - Added Piranha & Voodoo Juice from Advanced....their schedule is first two weeks of flower, 2ml/L - Full 2L feed. Kept the base low. 725ppm, 5.95pH. - Pulled out and stripped a couple more lower inner growth sites. - measured: 16” tall x 24” wide......after tying down....strong week of growth. Coming week is to focus on more the same.....minor changes to temp or humidity....will start cooling off evenings more and decrease humidity range to 55 - 58%. Only three to four more full weeks feeding left......she goes quick with autos😮😮 Considering trying out a real high potassium adaptive to counter act some of the high nitrogen she looks like she experience, to help keep up bud density.......Terpinator should do the same thing though - increase the amount given closer to manufacture recommendations. *****next run keep closer eye on light intensity.....this girl liked to ease into the increased light.

I think i Need More water events, with less time in between events in order to get a strong veg signal? Watering for 2min(110)ml May need 3min waterings(currently not getting runoff) I have to hand water every two days. Day 11 flo 18.5inches tall 12inches from light(moved to 16) 1300ppm Day 18 Defol Sprout chickpea(2days) Soaked 1cup for 4 hours then rinsed. Completely covered then Soaked overnight. Rinsed then poured water out and layed jar on the side for one day. Blended with water(aloe vera and coconut) Day 19&20 foilarspray Alfalfa/Chickpea SST with Kelp,aloe,coconut,silicate,microbes brewed for 1.5 days Day 21 Fed the Tea blend Leaf temp 80 65kluxx Co2 100 Plants look like they responded well to the foilar. The flowers at this stage are my best performance yet .crop steering may be working?

Zeit für den Endspurt Neun Wochen liegen inzwischen hinter uns – und das Ende lässt sich förmlich riechen. Fünf Wochen Blütezeit sind geschafft, und die Ladys zeigen sich weiterhin von ihrer besten Seite. Die wohl größte Veränderung in dieser Woche ist, dass meine kleine Nachzüglerin das Zelt verlassen hat. Sie steht nun überdacht im Außenbereich. Die Entscheidung fiel mir nicht schwer, da sie im Vergleich zu den anderen deutlich hinterherhinkt und schlichtweg nicht denselben Nährstoffbedarf hat. Durch ihren Auszug konnte ich sowohl die Transpiration als auch die Wärmeentwicklung im Zelt etwas reduzieren. Der Fokus liegt nun ganz klar auf den verbleibenden drei Pflanzen – und wer weiß, vielleicht holt die Nachzüglerin am Ende draußen doch noch etwas auf, wenn der Rest bereits geerntet ist. Ernährungstechnisch blieb in der fünften Blütewoche alles beim Alten. Die Nährstoffzufuhr habe ich bewusst konstant gehalten. Für die kommende Woche ist allerdings eine gezielte Mischung mit PK 13/14 geplant, um die Blütenbildung weiter zu pushen und das Maximum aus der Reifephase herauszuholen. Die Entwicklung der Pflanzen ist weiterhin tadellos. Alle Werte – sei es Luftfeuchtigkeit, Temperatur, VPD oder pH-Wert – sind stabil und genau dort, wo sie sein sollen. Diese Konstanz in der Umgebung macht sich sichtbar bezahlt. Im Zelt liegt ein intensiver, süßlicher Duft in der Luft, der stark an Zitrone und Beeren erinnert – ein echter Vorgeschmack auf das, was kommt. Die Buds entwickeln sich sichtbar weiter, werden dichter, harziger und formen sich immer klarer aus. Besonders auffällig ist der dichte Überzug aus Trichomen, der die Blüten in ein frostiges Kleid hüllt. Beim Berühren bleiben die Finger regelrecht kleben – ein deutliches Zeichen dafür, dass sich hier eine Menge Potenzial an Geschmack und Wirkung aufbaut. Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen bleibt: Durch den begrenzten Platz mit ursprünglich vier Pflanzen musste ich in Sachen Lichtverteilung und Luftzirkulation kleine Einbußen hinnehmen. Das wird sich vermutlich leicht auf die Budgröße auswirken. Dennoch bin ich mehr als zufrieden mit dem, was sich hier abzeichnet. Die letzten Wochen des Grows sind angebrochen – das Ende rückt näher, der Anfang liegt längst zurück. Ich freue mich riesig auf das, was noch kommt, und bin sehr gespannt, welche Masse und Qualität die Buds am Ende erreichen werden.

In der 6ten Woche Lag der Fokus auf Erholung von umtopfen, damit ich vor der Blüte Blätter und Triebe entfernen kann, die ich nicht benötige. Zum Ende der Woche habe ich dann das Erste Netz eingezogen und mich geärgert, warum ich es nicht schon früher gemacht habe. Naja man lernt jedes Mal dazu. Den Abstand zur Lampe habe ich auf 60cm verringert.
