Very happy with the outcome just as good as the first time I grown this strain!!!!

Last 2 weeks were rough. Had to fight spidermites, high temps (had the AC on for 10hours of the day just to keep under 28 day and 20 night. Despite all this, the ladies seems to be bulking up now, still 5 weeks to go.

I've been waiting for at least some trichomes to turn amber. I prefer to harvest when there are at least a few amber. I took the PL2 3 days before the PL1. Flushed them for a week only

March 9, 2021 (Day 64, Flower 15): Pots were already light today. A day earlier than usual. Watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 1ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 2ml/l Big Bud + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus at 6.2 pH. Runoff at 6.4 pH - barely got any this time. May have to look into more water per application. Plants are looking fantastic. Buds are starting to form all over each plant now. Smell is getting stronger. Moved humidifier outside tent because the plants are creating enough of their own humidity I've had to turn on the carbon filter and inline fan. This knocked the average humidity down just a bit which is just fine with me at this point considering my lower temperatures. The stretch already seems to be slowing down a bit. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 10, 2021 (Day 65, Flower 16): Unknown 1 is starting to slow down the stretch a bit, but the other plants keep gaining height. They're becoming a bit more even now at least. Everything is looking great. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 11, 2021 (Day 66, Flower 17): Stretch has definitely slowed now. Pistils are shooting everywhere and buds are forming strong. A few more days and I'll take some fan leaves. Smell is getting really strong and filled my entire house - had to turn up the carbon filter a bit to control the scent. Really liking what I'm seeing so far. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 12, 2021 (Day 67, Flower 18): Pots were light today. Watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 1ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 2ml/l Big Bud + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus at 5.8 pH. Plants were really starting to bush out and some of the fan leaf stems were pushing 6"+, so I decided to pull the trigger on my first round of defoliation today. I was going to wait until day 21, but too many bud sites were being covered. The plants look fantastic. Buds are starting to smell amazing. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 13, 2021 (Day 68, Flower 19): Plants are looking great. Tilled top half-inch of soil. Definitely seeing some trichome growth, especially on Unknown 2. Had to turn up my carbon filter as the smell is starting to get out of control. The smell's a mix of gym socks, gasoline, and cream with a hint of sweetness. The smell punches you in the face when you open the tent. I hadn't measured the plants in a few days; Unknown 1 is all the way up to 27" tall. The other plants are lagging behind a bit but the light and air penetration looks great. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 14, 2021 (Day 69, Flower 20): This hobby is great. So much fun opening my tent each day to check on the plants. They're getting more and more smelly. Buds are chunking up a bit and trichomes are starting to form. Everything is looking great. Tilled the top soil again. Tucked a few auxiliary fan leaves away from developing bud sites on Gelato 1 and Unknown 2. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 15, 2021 (Day 70, Flower 21): Pots were light today. Watered with 4l per plant with 4ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 1ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 2ml/l Big Bud + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus at 6.5 pH. The buds are starting to frost up and pistils are shooting out everywhere. Turning down humidity another 5-10% the next few weeks. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. Really excited to see what the next several weeks have in store!

good strain for symptom relief while staying mentally present. potent yet chill when treated well from seed to cure. hoping to try growing this strain outdoors in the future. this was a fun grow, thanks for looking. cheers

3 week flower 100% Power lumatek 3.1 Pro , and 55 cm distance - Hope it works!

Hi

In the end, I harvested 310g of dry plants, discarding all the popcorn. Not a bad result, even if I didn't reach my goal of 450g. I decided to leave a few leaves and let it re-vegetate. It's growing very quickly, and I'll soon send it back to flowering. Thank you all for following the diary and leaving likes and comments. Happy growing to all my friends.🌽🌽🌽

📅 Week 3 – Day 21 BOX: 50x50 – 100W lamp 🌞 Temp: 27°C 💦 RH: 70–72% 💥 PPFD: 400–650 µmol/m²/s 🌬️ VPD: ~1 – 1.1 kPa This is my first time planting directly into the final pot, and the difference is clear – I definitely saved a few days of growth. Watering volume is increasing steadily: started at ~400 ml and today I went for the first runoff with about 800 ml. EC stays on the lower side, around 0.6. They’re also getting Power Roots and enzymes. DOKI got her first LST today. Stay tuned – and keep growing 🌱

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

still up and healthy been in 12/12 now for a week and waiting for take off to start on those flowers. been tucking fan leaves and exposing those lower areas. other wise waiting for things to start looking like flower sites.

Estamos cursando el día 11 desde el brote. Tienen buena pinta. Sin duda revisaré el Ph del agua de riego.. tengo la impresión de que está un poco alto. Continuamos fertilizando lo mínimo. 100 ml en cada maceta cada riego. Buenos humos 💨

She looks very healthy and super super big,I did not expect such a big stretch in her first 2ndbweek of flower,she's such a big bushy girl,can't wait to see her in full flower 😍 💚. Love what I do man.

This was the last week of veg for these girls. Flipped the light to 12/12 on day 33 and added a pinch of maxibloom to the reservoir. Will be upping the maxibloom as I lower the maxigro a little over the next couple weeks until the stretch is over. Then will start adding some flower boosters to try to build some fat sticky buds. Couldn't ask for a smoother veg as far as nutrient maintenance goes. The plants have required defoliation pretty much daily and their growth rate has been great so having to readjust their tie downs every couple days. Will continue to spread the branches out a little as they make their stretch. Most of the girls are pretty uniform other than there is a sugar cane that is turning into a monster. Pretty sure she is going to put on a huge stretch. And one of the slurricane is a bit of a runt compared to the rest but I like that there is some difference because it means I have a better chance of getting to sample more phenotypes. I have started a breeding project diary on the strawberry eclair already, but keeping my eye out for a couple more candidates to clone. Going to wait until they show them trichomes before deciding though. Should start to pop some pistils and stack some calyxes in about 2 weeks.

Have been clearing out a lot leaves and branches, decided to just LST on one plant and Fiming on the other one. And training have been applied to all plants.

Trichomes are getting more cloudy; everything's good ! I reckon 4/5 more weeks to go. Have a good week my dudes ! ;)

Week 12 – Frost Incoming & Finding the Peak ❄️🔥 Hey Muchachos, welcome to Week 12 – and things are getting serious now. The girls are deep into bloom, stacking fast, frosting up, and showing their full potential. This week I made an important adjustment: I reduced the LED power from 100% down to 80%. The tops were getting very bright and I could see the limits of the setup approaching. At 80%, the canopy looks perfectly balanced — honestly, I think this is the true peak of this tent. Up to now nobody reached this level in this setup… except the Princess. She’s pushing harder than anything I’ve seen before in here. The buds are building beautifully — long spears, dense internodes, and fresh white pistils everywhere. The first layer of frost is coming in strong, and the smell is starting to speak up: sweet, tangy, a bit funky, very promising. I’m also observing some nitrogen movement in the lower leaves. Could be natural N-mobility in mid-flower, could be a slightly reduced N level in the soil — but right now I’m not worried. The plants look healthy and focused on bud production, so I’m letting them do their thing. Airflow is perfect, the canopy is stable, and every top is getting clean light. This is the phase where they start packing on weight day by day, and you can literally watch the buds change every morning. Stay tuned, Muchachos – the frost season just kicked in. OnlyBuds! ❄️🌿🔥

Topped this girl this week, she’s growing pretty good. Very nice looking plant to my eye.
