Hi everyone 😁 I would like to thank you all fellow growers and breeders for such a great support on this journey. Thank you Grow Diaries and Green House Seeds. Without you all this wouldn't be possible. Love you all First ever recorded diary so don't know where to even start 😅 I am returning to growing after many many years of break. This is my first ever experience with autoflowers, scrog, lst, led and such tiny grow space. Choice of strain - Big Bang Auto from Green House Seeds. I have run so many strains from this seed bank in the past and I was always happy with the final outcome. Was looking for indica dominant strain, fast flowering cycle and very important heavy yields on small spaces. Again thank you GHSC in very happy of choosing this strain. Little bit about my cabinet. External dimensions: 64 x 50 x 114 cm (W x D x H) Growing area: 55 x 47 cm cm (0.26 m2) Panel based on SAMSUNG LM301B diodes Spectrum: Samsung LM301B – 5000 x72 Samsung LM301B – 3000k x136 Samsung LM301B – 660nm x9 Samsung LM301B – IR 760nm x1 Regulation in the range of 20W - 110W - Meanwell XLG 100-H-AB PPF 300 umol/s PPFD 890 mol/m2/s @30c Total of 6 adjustable fans, 4 exhaust fans 4 modes - silent/drying, vegetation, flowering, full power Active carbon mass in the filter 2kg Absolutely love my grow cabinet. Thinking of next build already. My grow 3 beautiful ladies - Nuna, Luna and Sweet Mary Jane. This was a pleasure experience growing autos for the first time. All 3 ladies on the end developed perfectly. Nuna, left corner lady- tall and beautiful. She had some problems to switch to flowering and was even considering removing her but very happy that I was patient enough and turned great. Luna, right corner lady - have to say she is the queen. She has the most heavy buds from all, the most. colorful. Her wet weight was 420g, can't say how much of dry but guessing approx. 100g Sweet Mary Jane, front seat lady. I think she was the most pleasant to grow of her location but due to no other spare space for drying I belive that I have harvested her at least a week to early. If keep longer I belive she could be the most yielder from all 3. Thank you all for all the support, help, comments, likes, messeges. Love you all 💚💚💚 Will update this diary in some time and when puff perfectly cured 😎 Peace and love ✌️💚

9/5 PREVENTATIVE SPRAY OF 1TBSP POTASSIUM BICARBONATE AND 1/4 TBSP DAWN TO TREAT WPM. Foggy this morning and rained again last night. Weather hasn't been the greatest. Not seeing much PM unless it advanced so much that it just killed all the leaves. I still have yellowing leaves that die. It's probably septoria and I probably should've used a copper fungicide but I'm in flower. Ice cream cake and a couple seedlings are far behind but everything else seems like it will finish. This weather has been getting me down. I may feed later today or I might wait until tomorrow. I also need to add a few more supports. Wet buds are heavy. I'm getting there. Slowly but surely. 9/6 FED TWO GALLONS TO GARDEN PLANNED TO USE BEASTIE BLOOM BUT COULD ONLY FIND CHA CHING. Rained heavy all night. I came back to hanging branches but no damage. I added some supports quickly and tied up a hanging branch. Ran a couple strings across the frame but I have more work to do. I took some pics and a video. At least now I'm seeing buds. Walking down there is like getting slapped in the face with a wet bud (which happened today). It's a super strong smell. Trichomes are developing at various stages. This is when things get paranoid but it's also fun. I can't wait until fall. 9/7 Plants we're wet this morning so I gave them a good shake. Defoliated what needed it and added a couple more supports. I don't like these leaves falling like this. Didn't have time to work on the ice cream cake that's growing into the fence. Now it's a race with the weather. Things are looking pretty good but I'm getting antsy. Also I'm not sure what caused all this weird damage from earlier and if I should just cut off useless branches. I'm hesitant as I don't want to create an open wound for more fungal infections. 9/8 Rained like crazy. Super heavy at times. I added a video I took yesterday. and took some pictures. Defoliated some dead stuff but it's hard to work in the pouring rain. Forecast said three inches. Plants are booming thoughgh 9/9 Still raining. Hard. No damage. Defoliated what I could and added supports where needed. I do need to say the plants I'm growing are some resilient girls. They've taken a beating and come back kicking butt. If we can get a few good days in a row shit will really start taking off. Need to spray BT and do another k bicard spray or switch it up with peroxide. I've checked the tops of my plants with a ladder and things look good so far. I'm super excited. 9/10 Poured like crazy. I fucked my diary up a bunch of times so I'll probably have to upload vids/pics again. Cannabis gods heard my cries and at noon time it's all sunshine. Was able to defoliate what needed it. Plants are just exploding. I'll do pics tomm. BT and K Bicarb spray needed. YEAH IM MISSING A BUNCH OF PICS AND A VIDEO. WILL HAVE TO FIX LATER 9/11 Beautiful sunny day. Found my beastie bloom and fed two gallons to the garden. I started low but I'll increase if it seems to benefit. Continued with only 1tbsp of grow big. Then if I like it I'll move on to cha ching. One plant will be ready VERY shortly. I took out my scope to check things out. In the bright sun ours easy to spot little pm patches. Oh well. I'll spray tonight. Everything looks so amazing. Also found more moth eggs it's time for a BT spray. Defoliated and added more supports as it's windy af out here

AUGUST 16 to AUGUST 22, 2025 Insofar as fertigation, this week each specimen was provided a Top Dress of Dry Organic Amendments as described in the Nutrients section of this diary post. The top dress was watered in with a Liquid Amended Soil Drench with the following ingredients and measures (mL/L): Bloom Liquid Plant Food (1-3-3) - 5.0mL/L of plain rainwater Yucca Schidigera Liquid Extract - 0.25mL/L Monosilic Acid - 0.5mL/L Activated Beneficial Microbes - 5.0mL/L - All products from Optimize Organics (https://www.optimizeorganics.ca/) Both Lemon Orange specimens are growing with vigour, and well into the transition to bloom. Pairs of pistils are evident in several locations on each plant. Sunlight hours have dropped to under 14 hours (Sunrise 07:00, sunset 20:58). I am considering this Week 1 of flower. Considerable height gain over the week, with a noticeable increase in inter-nodal spacing, particularly on Lemon Orange #2. Lemon Orange #1 is the shorter of the two phenotypes, slower growing, and not taking in near as much water/nutrient (did not need to be watered this week). Lemon Orange #1 has an average height across its 8 main growing shoots of 51cm, while Lemon Orange #2 is is near 68cm. Neither specimen is overly smelly on their own, but when rubbed up against or manipulated the scent of citrus with an earthy after-tone is present. Fungus gnats have found a home in the garden, and for now I've deployed yellow sticky traps to control the adults. More aggressive treatments of other parts of the lifecycle will likely be needed, and I am considering acquiring nematodes to add to my living soil. DAY 99 - Top Dressed with dry organic amendments (Bloom mix); Watered in with Bloom Soil Drench Formula; Went fishing for a couple of days. DAY 100 - n/a DAY 101 - n/a DAY 102 - 1L drip of plain rainwater at 08:30 via automated irrigation system; Returned from fishing trip in early afternoon (14:00), plants looked good, if not a bit uneven as a result of not being turned 1/4 clockwise over the past 3 days. DAY 103 - Witnessed droop under full sun in early afternoon, across all specimens on the back bench (Blue Dynamite #2. Lemon Orange #2, Blue Dynamite #1). Drip watered 1.5L of plain rainwater to that bench of plants only, as the front bench with the small plants (Lemon Orange #1 and Purple Romulan) seemed as though the substrate was sufficiently moist. DAY 104 - Prepared Compost Tea for application on Day 106, set to aerate for 36 hours. DAY 105 - n/a

Updated the official lab result for this specific plant... thank you spliffseeds, its great to know what youre smoking... Its amazing how a 55 cm plant can yield 120+ grams of dank dry buds, important here was the training and filling the cannopy, scrog net would help me in terms of supporting her coz as you see on pics i harvested her after 3 days of no liquid and she just fell down coz buds were to heavy... and throughout the process i had problems with holding branches in one piece lol so i had to do all the funny bondages with green wire, sadly i dont have pics coz i couldn make a clear photo of how and what did i connect together.

June 7: Tropicana Cookies is growing quickly after the late start. Should be a good strong plant. June 9: warm today and she’s ready for the first topping to build the manifold. See video. Tip: spray hose water on the leaves to compensate for the low relative humidity during the daytime. Plants grow much better in the dry air when their leaves get wet. Maybe a couple times a day. Makes a big difference. June 10: wildfire smoke is back but not as bad as in 2023. At least not here, and not yet. Tropicana Cookies FF growing fast after being topped yesterday. This is going to be a very good plant, I’m sure.

En el comienzo de esta 3a semana de vegetación, parece que la situación va mejorando, gracias a las personas que me aconsejaron bien, para no entrar en pánico... seguramente estaban estresadas y ya les paso...😂😂😂 en fin, esta semana subo el EC a 0,6, distancia de las luces a 1,2 mtr y veremos cómo procede. Tengo ganas de probar una CORTE APICAL con este cultivo y ver qué beneficios me trae; si alguien lee esto y me quiere aconsejar cuando y cómo hacerlo, soy todo oídos.

The reward for patience is patience itself! It has been a crazy adventure, to see i've come this far is incredible. It wouldn't be possible without this amazing community, you all helped me along this path and i am grateful! Special thanks to @Seedler for all of the knowledge and experience that has been shared with me along these months.

I added a dehumidifier towards the end of this week to reduce the RH, but the thing i didn't realise was there were some red and yellow led's on the dehumidifier, one displaying RH and another for the power. I didn't cover up either through the dark periods and i just hope this past few days with them on doesn't affect my final yield 😣 Looking at the trichomes am i correct to start flushing now? let me know what y'all think!!
