All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. 84/14 Fun with Filters VPD was controlled at reduced temps and RH today - RH now set to 55% max and Temps are 75F at max Over night allowed down to 67F when lights go out. Lights were good and same as yesterday with some light LST PPFD at 750 down to 550. I used 20 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR with 15 before and after main lights on/off. She's now about 25" tall and 35" wide. Also took some black back and shadow pics for fun (no filters or sharpen only) Day 85/15 Feed Day I gave 2 gallons of de-chlorinated tap combined with 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix total 600ppm and a ph of 6.4. Foliar sprayed some on the outer leaves and left the tent door open to help dry them. (took like 15 minutes with the fans.) top soil ph checked at 6.22ph and run off was at 5.74 with 1580ppm Lights at a range of 750 to 500 Ran 25 minutes of UV and the standard 1hr IR with 15/15 before and after lights on/off and 30/30 at that time. VPD was easy to manage with the doors open and then the fan seemed to have to work more today but just more often and not high fan. Day 86/16 Humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. Tips carried a little burn on them today, some all over which makes me think nute burn because ppfd was 550 to 750 as it has been for a few days now and there are tips on leaves with little direct light showing burn as well. Will continue to monitor as well. IR and UV are set on timers and I screwed up with mine today. I was supposed to change the setting and forgot (time change screwed me up and I thought I did it when I changed timers that needed correction) until it was too late and ended up giving her 30 minutes of IR and 1 hour of UV... will have to check/monitor for effects tomorrow. The good news is that she's had a little over two weeks with UV so maybe not so bad. (fingers crossed it doesnt stress her too much) Day 87/17 Again, humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two de-humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. If I open the tent for a while I can get the humidity down by about another 5% so tomorrow I plan to leave it open after I feed again. Took some light burn from yesterday's extended UV exposure, but read that it's not bad to take on some stress from UV in flower, especially if you still have time to recover. The pros suggest that you can stress her to grow defensive systems that may create thicker/stickier leaves and flowers with more terpene production. The cons however suggest that it could stress too much and stunt the growth or in extreme/sudden cases, cause her to herm. (thus why they say in mid flower is best if you plan to stress with UV) So it is what it is. I will monitor the leaves that took damage and likely remove them this week when I defoliate schwazz style. I still resumed the schedule of increasing UV as planned but ahead a few days now so 45minutes of UV and 1 hr IR with 15/15 before and after main lights on/off. Day 88/18 Lots happening today. Firstly, I found a split today... on the main stem trunk, so I used superglue to seal the cracks and held together while it set. Then I wrapped it with heavy duty gorilla tape, two 1ft pieces as both a clamp and a support on the other side. I then tied each cola to the inner ring. So then I decided that since I am here having to work on this I may as well go ahead and do the defoliation I was planning for tomorrow. Schwazze style defoliation (at least my interpretation of the method without having to buy the book, super defoliate week 1 and 3 of flower - so almost) Then after that I also preformed heavy strength training - I broke each cola right under the bud sites that I left and bent her outward. I then upped the lights ever so slightly and have a max of 850 ppfd and low of 650 ppfd now. She had 45 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR same routine, IR on/off at main light schedule with 15 before and after main lights. VPD is better now that I placed another open air vent at the bottom, this one is 6 inch. I also placed the fans a little better to blow directly on the leaves left behind. Low speed for now, but as the leaves come back I plan to increase to get dancing leaves in the middle too. Temps were 74F and RH 55% with the ILV set to auto. I plan to feed 2 gallons of 650ppm 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix. Since my last ph was really low I am going to increase the feed to 7.0ph - not sure what if anything I can do about ppm. Day 89/19 VPD was normal with the exception of holding the tent open as I said I was going to today. Temps at 74F and RH mostly 55% with the ILV set to auto. PPFD also checking in with the same settings/results today, 880 to about 650 ppfd. UV was set for 45 minutes midday, and IR with the same 1 hr with 15 minutes before and after main light on/off. Water feed today with about 2.25 gallons of 7.0 ph de-chlorinated tap diluted with 25:75 ratio of veg/bloom mix (690 ppm total) watered until drip started and I got about .25 gallon runoff. Runoff measured 5.75 ph and 1630 ppm (top soil tested 4x with avg of 6.35) Next feed will be a plain water salt flush. Plant looked so nice a day today that I decided to take some more black back pics. Day 90/20 VPD and PPDF were fine today with normal settings of 74F/55%RH/Auto ILV - PPFD ranged from 550 to 750 because of HST on the limbs. This will be the last stress I give her and hope it wasnt too much. Hoping this all results in a big yield and not a herm.

Started out pretty slow, then blew up like crazy during preflower before running into deficiencies followed by nute burn. In the end I switched to organic nutes and she came out great! Big frosty purple buds consistently ping pong ball sized. Smells like straight skunky oranges. Although this took a really long time for an auto, I would grow this again!

It is a very strong and effective yield. I mixed it AK47 with the White Rhino and the result was tremendous trichomes, very big and intense buds and a sturdy plant. The resin production is really great. This is the best product in terms of taste. The only bad thing is I only have one more left from the same seed. :)

This lovely lady is awesome to grow. She grows fast and very thick and sturdy stalks. It transitions to flowering really fast only after 3 weeks she was already starting. She also packs on the trichomes really late. But her colors are a complete different story ๐Ÿ˜.. She starts throwing the red on the bottom of the leaves but flowers came out a BEAUTIFUL dark purple with a lot of orange hairs.. The bag appeal is SWAG. Would recommend this lady just on how much stress she can truly take and still produce. Good job with this one @Sweet_Seeds

I know she yielded less than optimally, but at least she made up for it with a really unique effect. Got like 40 more seeds of this so I'm likely going to do some pheno-hunting come spring with how well she performed. Love the taste and the look of the plant. Really wish I had knowledge of the breeder so I could recommend it. But that's the risk you take with bag seed. Not giving her 10/10 because she stunted for quite a while when I got her started in soil. So she may not respond well with higher stress root-conditions.

Welcome everyone Here we are with the final conclusions about this brand new CHUPACABRA ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒฑ Breeding by MICROGENETICA Seed bank ๐Ÿ† We have passed togheter the entire summer and to be honest this is the girst time I have grow indoor during this hot months. Usually I do some outdoor, but you know, the virus was can't give me any chance to do it.. Anyway About the hot climate ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐ŸŒก๏ธ She has was very resistent , but a little slowly in grow.. Honestly in the beginning my idea was to do a "normal" lst , but in the end she looks like some desert treehs ๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŒณ In some point , i think because i have use to much silicium , the stem was bee to hard for beeing training in the way i was want.. And so I have decided to create something "artistic" ๐ŸŽจ Five long months 21 colas ๐Ÿš€ Flowers has a very sweet with some cheese notes ๐Ÿง€ Very oleous ๐Ÿ”ฅ In the end I have collected about 70g , dry and cure Very dense nuggets Good amount of trichomes ๐Ÿ‘Œ Honestly I was can do a better job , especially during bloom ๐Ÿ™Œ I have growed her in a Living soil , so basically only water with some molasses and sometimes aloe vera and silicium.. But I was have some deficency in P. And so I have done just a tea with some guano and kelp I have not do something more because im in learning with this type of growing. Now I know that for the next time I will have to change something by adding elements in different quantities during the preparation of the soil But in any case , the aroma and taste are intense and rich ๐Ÿคฉ Very enjoyable to smoke , just weed and rolling papers But with a good vaporaizer it will be much better ๐Ÿ’ฏ I also think it would be a very good strain for exctraction To try ๐Ÿ˜Ž And that's all I have put every info possible during any week from the beginnig to the ends , if you want to know more about this grow cycle.. And also photos ๐Ÿ˜‰ Unfortunally I was cant be able to update the last week of flowering because I was having some account problems But here we are In the end im happy about this strain and I definetly can raccomended it to everybody Definitely good for making clones So.. Thanks to Microgenetica seedbank for the seeds ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ And thank you so much Grow Diaries , like as always ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ™ See you Ciao โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

All 3 ladies are ready to harvest. Checked the trichomes, all milky. Super sticky and smelly. Super strong and healthy genetics. Will keep them a feel more days until the next run is germinated.

At least one if the ladies is ready to harvest. Just made a final check with the microscope and i think she is ready. I could wait a bit more for more amber heads but i think thats ok.

Ciclo di crescita molto disastroso e tra varie genetiche la piรน resistente e stata lei , anche se per un 27% di thc la sento un po leggera .. forse la causa sono stati propi i vari stress. PS cresciuta per tutto il ciclo a circa 22 gradi in media con molta umiditร . Consigliatissima specialmente per i principianti come me !!! Se ti piace lascia un like !
