Well, sadly had to harvest a week early due to some bud rot. Gave everything a good wash with baking soda, lemon juice and double rinsed. Hang dried for 10 days, paper bag to sweat for 2 days, then straight to grove bags. Full weight dried, just over 1lb. I fimmed so much in anticipation of rot, so while the buds were smaller there was a LOT. Test smoke was amazing, shocked how smooth it was with zero cure, packed a punch to! I expect the humidity to rise a bit in the grove bags over a few days, hoping 60% range. I mostly make FECO for gummies with everclear extraction, so excuse the less then tight trim, trichomes are trichomes! Ended up snipping the second haul 10 days after first, still going strong, but very wet, dont expect it to last much longer. Never going back to synthetic nutes, sticking with organic living soil from this point on! Got Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower on order for next year, plan on doing a 16 cola manifold with some LST. Will cut the trunk and let the root mass decay over winter, will mulch leaves and compost over it all until next years plant is ready to go in around April. Another year down! Happy growing everyone!

Grüßt euch Freunde! Heute ist der vorletzte Tag der Woche 6. Die Blüten entwickeln sich prächtig und Resin ist ordentlich vorhanden. Man kann schön sehen wie die Blätter langsam ‚faden‘ . Ziel ist: am Ende alle übrigen Nährstoffe verbraucht zu haben, sodass wir einen angenehmen smoke bekommen. Werde daher die nährstoffzufuhr einstellen und sie das verbrauchen lassen, was noch in Boden und Blättern gespeichert ist. Bin der Meinung, dass davon einfach noch genug gespeichert ist. Wer da andere Erfahrungen gemacht hat, kann das gerne mal kommentieren! Bis dahin euch allen eine gute Woche !💚

Week 5 – Beast Mode & The Big Flip! This week I set up a timelapse to capture just how vigorous these ladies really are — and it didn’t disappoint! 🌱 The tallest Lemon Cherry Runtz even surpassed the Papaytons, though to be fair she’s sitting right in the sweet spot in the center of the tent. I also bumped up the light a bit, and the response was instant. Big thanks to SANlight, AC Infinity, and Autopots for keeping this jungle happy. Some of the girls figured out that there’s basically an endless water source waiting under their pots, and in search of it they threw down insane root systems. You can tell they went into full-on beast mode. This time I’ve been home for almost a month straight, so I could keep a daily eye on the propagation tent. It paid off: the first clones of all four strains rooted within 6–10 days! They’ll be kept safe until we find out which phenos are the real winners. Before flipping them to 12/12 on 19.08, I pulled each cultivar out, gave them a clean topping, and prepped them for flower. Since they were so big already, I skipped cloning the tops and went for side branches instead — they root faster, which is crucial in summer when cloning isn’t the easiest game in my setup.-äpl-.lp0üß0 Meanwhile, the moms I sent to the flower tent are already flashing their first pistils — can’t wait to show you how those develop. The rest will have to stay in the 4x3 for now until the flower run is done in 3–4 weeks, so I went hard on them: lollipopped, defoliated, topped — the works. For now, the goal is to keep them compact and healthy until it’s their time to shine. The real fun is just beginning… stay tuned for flower! 🔥💚

July 20: smoke arrived this morning to go with our heat wave. Awesome. Extra watering, misting air, and wetting the sides of the grow bags with hose water to keep things cooler and hydrated. So far so good in the heat. Did foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. Also note that for all my grows I use apple cider vinegar for pH adjustment and a Dr Bronners liquid soap as a wetting agent (surfactant). Euphoria is doing great, but to ensure that it finishes early enough for this latitude (53N) where the UV light gets very weak after mid-August, I’m starting the force flowering tonight. Already starting to flower but I want a strong flower set and as much flower growth under strong sunlight as possible. Force flowering schedule is 2-3 weeks of in dark garage at 9 pm followed by 730 nm far red light and then back out at 7 am. The light initiates dark mode 2 h faster so it’s like having a 26 h day. Good trick use as a bloom booster, also moves up the finish 2-4 weeks. So, 10+2 is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight. Might sound bogus but it works. July 21: first night of force flowering caused a big stretch. Notably stretched after darkness in hot garage overnight. Hot outside overnight too but was much hotter inside garage and recorded here as 24 C. Seems okay and high overnight temperature might be ideal at this early flowering stage. Warm overnight temperatures continue for a few more days. July 22: record hot overnight low forecast for tonight of 24 C and feels like 27 C with humidity. Wow, that is really incredible for here and 13 C above historic average. July 26: six days into flowering and she is doing fine. 👍👍

Day-43. Girls looking good. Still in the transition. One of the StarD girls has really had a growth spurt. Using next to no nutrients. 02/05/18-Day 48- Very pleased with fast buds, my first AUTO grow and they are taking off a treat, much easier to grow than photoperiods. But then again I treat them similar in terms of just defoliating as normal and LST'ing. Probably a little bit more sensitive to nutrients.

When I flipped the plants into flower I amended the nutrients to along with it so they could start off strong and they have been since that day (April 11th, 2025) since then have top dressed the soil on (May 1st, 2025) with some bloom 284, worm castings and mineralized phosphate. So far the plants seem happy and thriving, if you have any questions or comments please let me know!

Yo my fellow gromies what’s cooking✌️ Day 56 has arrived and these pineapples are filling out nicely now. All starting to pack on some weight. They smell so good! These ladies will now be on plain water for the next 2 weeks to flush and finish up. It’s not great as one of them is a little behind but my drying tent is also my grow tent so I just hope they are all going to be ok the window for harvest. They should be. Big shout to all you for the love likes and comments through this grow. Until next time ✌️👊🏻

24.07.25 after a last sunny day lemon Kix was chopped and trimmed. I went for very few amber trichomes to have a less sedating effect and was surprised with two mature seeds already. I'm curious if I'll find many more when the buds are fully dried. The maturity of the seeds seems a good indicator that I'm not harvesting impatiently ahead of time. Due to the tiny result I will not grow auto strains on the balcony again unless diaries on this platform show that its really a XXL Auto.

Update: A productive and busy week in the farm this week. FFT#8 Got moved into the same tank as the other plants. Shebhas now thankfully started producing new roots and top growth too. With 2 weeks to catch up with her counterparts from germination alone , she jad a tall task ahead. Now with the recovery time and damage she took , her path is even more determined and set. I am hoping another week will give her some height to at least be flipped as her friends need to get into their flowering cycle now. FFT#9 Is responding to her supercropping well and staying put now. She jas a nice sized canopy forming of around 2ft so far . I am mindful of the stretch at this point so want to set her up into a good foundation for tall colas when i flup them. The strainnis very easy to work with and tooknfhe bending and supercropping with ease. So far it is a dream to work with. She is starting to smell "pissy" as most do at this point so all good so far. FFT#10 Is the biggest plant in the room at this point. Hwt stems are very thick and strong looking. Leaves are a nice dark green and very thick and large on her fans. They all had a defol earlier in the week and she has quickly replaced so much of her leaf matter already. A nice healthy and vigerous plant. She will be flattened a little more for the flip so I can manage her frame better. All told these ladies are proving to be great strains as the other have been and I am looking forward to seeing what they can harvest too now. Be well folks

This week all Ladies are getting extra pk13/14. Buds are getting bigger and more dense every day. The smell in the tent is absolutely insane. Fruity, sweet spicey. The LO are full of trichomes. The BBP a lil bit less snowy but also VERY terpy. BBP with a little autumn fade in the leaves. RJ ist the smallest and needs a little extra time i think. Lights 90% RH 50-60% Temp 20-26 Celsius In the second tent the RJ and SH are developing also very Well. A few weeks to Go. Just letting them grow for now.

Week 7 is over, they did their flowering stretch and are looking good. Temps and humidity are quite optimal now.
