Greetings, fellow cultivators! We've officially crossed into the much-anticipated flowering stage with our beloved Cherry Cola Auto, and let me tell you, it's nothing short of a horticultural fiesta! The transformation over the past week has been nothing short of magical, with our once lush bush evolving into a budding beauty. Last week was a game-changer as I bid farewell to the training supports that have guided our Cherry Cola through her bushy phase. Now, she's free to express herself, growing wild and embracing her natural beauty. The transition from veg to flower has been seamless, and I'm witnessing a symphony of bud formation that's simply breathtaking. One of the marvels of autoflowers is their ability to veg and preflower simultaneously. It's like witnessing two acts of a play at the same time – the plant is reaching for the stars while also gearing up for the grand flowering spectacle. Cherry Cola's growth rate is nothing short of impressive, and I find myself in awe of this dynamic phase. With the shift into flowering, I've made some adjustments to our nutrient regimen. The Start Booster has gracefully bowed out, making way for two new players on the stage – P-Boost and Topbooster. P-Boost, a phosphorus booster, is a soluble wonder that not only enhances blooming but also contributes to improved water pH. It's like giving our Cherry Cola a backstage pass to a nutrient orchestra. Meet the New Stars: P-Boost and Topbooster: P-Boost, with its organic acids and phosphorus punch, is playing a vital role in stimulating protein, hormone, and vitamin production. It's a symphony conductor orchestrating the blooming processes. Meanwhile, Topbooster, the dynamic duo partner, is enhancing the flowering response, producing larger fruits with more fibers, resins, and sugars. It's like a magical potion for quality and flavor enhancement. Oh, did I mention that our Cherry Cola looks perfect to my eyes? She's a vision of green excellence, and I'm captivated by the flawless symmetry of her growth. Every day, she inches taller, embracing the flower formation with grace and poise. As we wrap up this Week 1 Flower report, I'm left in amazing of the beauty unfolding before us. Cherry Cola Auto, with her wild growth and budding allure, is a testament to the marvels of cultivation. Stay tuned, green enthusiasts, for the next thrilling installment as the floral overture continues!

Day 29 fm seed/Week 1 flower: I did some LST/HST to the plants to try to even out the canopy. The light is set to 80% and is creating some good growing conditions. Flower has started and most of the plants are showing little bud clusters and pistils. They are starting to smell already, just mild skunkiness. I say this every time, but there are some super short plants like the skunk and tall lanksters like the Blackberry. There is some stacking on some and mega stretch on others, such is the case when you grow 7 different genetics. It’s all good tho, we’ll train them up. Did some leaf tucking and removed a couple beastly light and site blocking fans. Other than that we’re just gonna watch and see how this plays out. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Happy Growing 🌱

📅 Week 13 | Days 92–98 📅 🌼🌸🌺 Flowering Phase 🌼🌸🌺 Day 98 🌞 🔸 Poison Envy continues to develop beautifully. The buds have become noticeably denser compared to last week, with an impressive amount of resin forming. Trichomes are mostly milky now, with a few still clear - no amber ones yet. 🔸 The smell is evolving too: still that strong musty "forgotten laundry" funk, but now with a distinct sweet-spicy berry twist, almost like overripe blackberries. Very pungent! 🔸 Unfortunately, the humidity is still too high, but better than last week (currently 63%), which could become a problem. Today I finally turned on the dehumidifier and increased airflow using all clip fans at max setting. The dehumidifier now maintains a constant relative humidity of 50-60%, which I am very satisfied with. It does make it 2-3 degrees warmer in the tent, but I can live with that. 🔸Now give them 1-2 weeks of overdrive from AN and then only water. She drinks significantly less. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️🔆 = 27°C 🌡️🌜 = 20°C 💨 VPD Target = 1.4 - 1.6 💨 Humidity = 63% → Target: below 60% 🔦 PPFD = 900 µmol (12/12) 🔦⌚ DLI = ~38 🛠️ Setup (unchanged) 💡 Lights: 2 x Sanlight Evo 4-120 @ 90% ⛺ Tent: 120 x 120 x 180 🍯 Pot Size: 18 liters 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap water (EC 0.5)

En general la planta se desarrolló en un buen ambiente, agradeciendo con brotes de buena calidad.La planta se forma compacta y en forma de arbusto, con bastantes brazos donde soportará sus flores en forma de bolas de golf alargadas, el aspecto de la planta es bastante vistoso, cubriéndose con una densa capa de resina que expende un fuerte olor a pino, menta y chocolate, realmente recomendada para los amantes de las indicas con sabores dulces/cálidos. Escribo esto a pocos momentos de haber fumado el último bud de esta planta, realmente fué una buena compañía para este tiempo de cuarentena. // In general the plant developed in a good environment, thanking with good quality buds. The plant is compact and shrub-shaped, with enough arms where it will support its flowers in the form of elongated golf balls, the appearance of the plant is quite showy, covered with a dense layer of resin that exposes a strong smell of pine, mint and chocolate, really recommended for lovers of the indica with sweet / warm flavors. I write this a few moments after smoking the last bud of this plant, it was really a good company for this time of quarantine.

Hello, readers! I'm trying to stretch her more. But I noticed at the beginning of the week, that now, she's not that flexible that she was before. It means, preflower begins. By the end of the week, some stigmas starter to appear. I think, by the next week it will be fully on pre flower or may be starting to real flower. And i expect her to stretch vertically as well. Here I have some root photos, they definitely has a lot of room to grow. I have removed some big fan leaves, but not much. But mostly i was trying to shift them a bit, so the tips of the branches would get more light Light on 60%

Now that I got the environment stable, it's nice to see her bud sites popping up. Did a bit more LST on her and hopefully when Nicky (the photoperiod) is done, I can boost the lights to 18 hours a day.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. She started germination Monday 14/10/2019 straight into the soil, after 3 days she turned into a little sprout. 23/10/2019 - Struggling a bit to maintain good veg RH (55-65), currently between 45-50, humidifier on the way. PH was also to high about 7.5-8.0, already fix it to 6.5, with a drop of lemon juice. 24/10/2019 - Noticed little flies on the tent, going to add sticky trap.

So far it seems to be fine even if the high humidity worries me even if the temperatures are still high then they have stopped growing and will finally focus on the flowers and slowly we recover these small deficiencies

Hi Growmies, This was her last week of heavy feeding. I have already decreased the nutes for the coming week and will probably start flushing her the week after. So that she should be finished by the end of the contest pretty much. Regardless of her age the rootball has shrunk only a little bit. I have also taken her out of the scrog to enable the canopy to open up further and allow more light penetration for the maturation of the buds. This worked actually very well, as the weight of the buds pull the plant open. Thanks for stepping by and until next week!

End of Week 7 CO2 is definitely increasing growth rates but also changes the game with controlling your environment now that it has to be sealed in order to not waste CO2 unnecessarily. You change one thing and it adds many other variables to keep everything in check. I am learning everyday and that's why I grow. The trellis net is doing its job and the canopy is looking nice and even. I also added a soil top-up and top dress of some BioBloom and Mycorhizae so it can start breaking down before I flip to flower next week (Slow release dry organic amendments). And the ladies are using up nutrients in the soil much faster because of the added CO2 (another variable to take into consideration - faster growth = faster nutrient consumption) In detail: -Carefully removed trellis netting -Ammended each plant individually with my soil mixture and nutrients -Placed them back in the tent -Reinstalled trellis netting and trained the ladies to shape Pest Report: Thrips VS Ladybugs... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. I did not spray any insecticide this week and it really seems like the ladies are happy with my new method of bio-warfare and are wilting less and less often

The girls are fully in flower this week which of course is a GREAT sight to see when opening the tent. The smell in the tent is so sweet and fruity it's already making your mouth water!! So this week I feed the girls with a little of the living soil veg so they are still getting a helping hand. They were also given the living soil bloom and some barley which I will admit is the first time using it but so far me plus the girls are very much enjoying!! I have done the necessary light de-foliating on all 4 girls over the past 2 weeks and more LST. Happy toking guys and girls!! Will keep you all posted with more videos through the week so please keep checking back 🙂

WEEK 13 Both plants have now entered the flowering phase. A large number of pistils have already developed. So far, I’ve managed to maintain an even height, but the plants are currently in the stretch phase and could still shoot up significantly. I’m hoping for compact and balanced growth, as the vertical space in my setup is limited. I’ve increased my light intensity to around 700 PPFD. As a result—and due to the dehumidifier—the temperature in the grow room has risen slightly, but it remains within an acceptable range. The plants are currently watered every two days, with fertilizer added once a week. To improve air exchange, I pump fresh intake air into the tent every 30 minutes for 30 minutes. The coming weeks are bound to be exciting—I’m really looking forward to seeing how things turn out
