Well, well, well.. My first harvest! I'm very happy with how healthy the plants remained the entire time. I learned that growing outside is definitely easier than maintaining a tent environment, but you don't have as much control over the factors like amount of light the plants recieve and when they get their waterings! More fertilizer and better LST would be my takeaways from this grow. Excited to see how autoflowers perform in a tent next, otherwise I will say the amount I harvested from this plant was somewhat underwhelming.

1st WddngCake is under a SpiderFarmer SF 1000D 100W but an older model. The 2nd WddngCake is under a MarsHydro FC-E1500 LED 150W. They also receive on the sides UV (total per day 2 and 1/2 h ) exposure and IR (total per day 2h) From a Secret Jardin Cosmorrow UV 40W and one Secret Jardin Cosmorrow IR 40 W. UV 1h in the morning starting with main light, 1h in the afternoon and 1/2 h just before the main light goes off. IR 1/2 h in the morning before any lights even start then letting it another 1/2 h with all the other lights.Total 1h IR 1/2 in the evening right before all the lights go out and let it smooth out 1/2 alone without the other lights. Total 1h 1/13/25 The girls are starting the week ok. 1/14/25 1st WddngCake, She is older, is happier after the flush, still has a little bit of alkaline soil but i don't want to stress her out to much. Gave her a little BioBizz CalMag aprox 3,5 ml ; TopMax 5ml and 5 ml BioBlom . All mixed in 3,3 l PHed Water at PH 5.0 ppm 290. Runoff PH 6,8 :( ppm 1100. Also took like a handful of inter buds leafs :D . I think she will be ok. Seeing signs of buds fattening, new pistils. Frosty :D 2nd WddngCake Is very strong starting to fatten up the buds because she is younger and just now entering that stage. Like I already said her smell still resembles a tropical sweet creamy hoppy IPA. I think she is good, no major problems. Gave her 3,3 l of PHed water. Also mixed in CalMag 2,6 ml; 4 ml TopMax and 5 ml BioBloom. PH 5,4 ppm 207. Runoff PH 6,08 and ppm 302. I think is a good sign that i flushed a lot of nutrients from the soil and she also used a lot of them. Should keep and eye on that. Took 5 inter buds leafs off. 1/15/25 They are doing ok, both are fattening their buds and coming around good. The 2nd WddngCake better then the 1st one because I didn't make so many mistakes with her 😬 The tent is smelling great the Temp is at 23 C at night 20 C and RH at 50% (+- 3%) . 1st WddngCake stand at 47 cm and the 2nd WddngCake at 74 cm at their highest. New Photos! 😍😃 1/17/25 Back with some updates. The girls are doing wonderful. Shades of pinkish darkish greenish on both. The 1st Wddng Cake Auto, is older and showing this colors also on the very small sugar leafs. Gave her 4,2 l of PHed water, going in PH 5,6 and ppm 95. The Runoff is at PH 6,4 ppm 205 and I feel like now she is a little bit happier. Soil PH at 7,3 but not measuring precisely have a cheap tho rod measure stabby thing. The 2nd Wddng Cake Auto is younger, starting to forming her full flowers, bursting with mass . She also displays the colors mentioned above on the leafs closer to the main buds and also here and there on other sugar leafs. Gave her 4,2 l PHed water , going in PH 5,4 ppm 110. Runoff at PH 6,5 ppm 195 . Her soil PH is also at PH 7,3 kinda of. :)) I can see she is happier. I think is because i didn't make mistakes at the start. I also had 2 other Autos that aren't on here. But none of them grew like this one. Until now :)). Also took from both some leafs here and there. I think like a hand full total. Half a handful a plant. :D In the new photos you can see the "between the fingers roll" 😁 like i call it. That I only do twice in the life of an Auto, not to stress her to much.😨 Temp in the tent at 24 C when day +-2 C. At night time 21 C +- 1 C . Rh 50% +- 3% all of the time. Ventilators on for wind, and the grow must go on 👽🙌 1/18/25 So just 1 day until end of the week. I just got a Microscope. Very good actually recommend Andonstar AD203 Portable, 4' Screen also metal holder. A microSD Card 32Gb is also included and the data cable. Has a battery. Handels good. for the money i am surprised 😍. 1st Wddng Cake Took some pictures of the thricomes and I see a lot of milky one, some clear ones too. No amber ones. I think the harvest window is open but , I don't have time to harvest now. I also prefer also to let it a few days. Also must see for an extra tent to do 2 "days" of darkness.😥 2nd Wddng Cake is doing good, starting to fade in nuances of pink dark green just on the leafs of the top. and just a little bit of yellow.😢 But tomorrow she will get another feed to push her further the 2 weeks or so she has got to go😍 Seems i forgot to set the clock of the Microscope:))), i just went to town because it was half battery full :)))). Also Pictures from under the Microscope 😍😁 1/19/25 Sooo end of week. I think we are fine. All the things that should be happening are happening :)). Sorry i messed up the timelines. But the older one smaller one will be 10 weeks old in 2 days. And the younger one is gonna be 9 weeks in 3 days. Or something like that. Chaotic start like i said :)). 1st Wedding Cake Auto is starting to open her harvest window. Very much thanks to all that answered my grow question. She got 4,9 l of water PH 5,4 ppm 92; Soil Ph aprox 7; Runoff PH 6,6 ppm 305. I will keep an eye on her because she will be done in like about a week or maybe 2. Must see how next week goes. Continue to give PH water no nutes 😁 She is aprox 10 weeks old. 2nd Wedding Cake Auto changed color more on the leafs. Purple dark green. Some little bit of yellow. But today i feed her. She got 4,2 l water with CalMAg 3,5 ; Activera 5 ml ; Algamic 5 ml; Bio Heaven 5 ml; BioBloom 5ml; TopMax 6ml. Going in PH 5,7 ppm 315; Soil aprox PH 7; Runoff PH 6,9😢 ppm 610. She is younger then her sister so i think 3 - 4 weeks. We will see. 😆 New pics 😁

Week 6 - Transition to Flower (First Bloom Week) The Donutz squad has officially entered the bloom phase, kicking off the first week of flower in style. The upgrade to 7L pots has gone smoothly, and the plants are thriving in their new space. Monday marked the start of the flowering cycle, and everything is set up for an efficient and productive Sea of Green. Setup Adjustments: Canopy Leveling: The taller plants in the front row are left as-is, while the shorter ones in the back have been placed on top of the empty 3.7L pots. This ensures an even canopy for maximum light distribution. Defoliation: Everything under the net that wouldn’t develop into usable bud — based on past experience — has been trimmed away. The focus is now entirely on the top canopy and cola production. Nutrients & Care: Flowering Nutrients: Greenhouse Feeding Bloom is in play, with 30g applied per 7L pot (following the recommended 3-5g per liter). This should carry the plants through the stretch phase and provide a strong start for flower development. Watering: Still cruising with reverse osmosis (RO) water, keeping things clean and steady. Light Intensity: Slowly ramping up the light week by week to avoid shocking the plants, aiming for full intensity once they’ve settled into the flowering phase. Plans for the Stretch & Beyond: A second net is ready to go for after the stretch, ensuring the canopy remains supported and those fat nugs don’t collapse under their own weight. Continued monitoring of canopy height and plant health as they shift their energy into flowering. Observations: The Donutz are responding well to the flowering transition, with no visible stress. The even canopy and clean lollipop structure are setting the stage for optimal bud production. Everything is lining up perfectly for a strong flowering run. The Donutz are about to shine, and the tent is poised to deliver a heavy, uniform harvest. The Florida Gang energy is real — time to watch the nugs stack!

Day 106. Final stretch ! All jobs done ! I changed my mind about defoliation, was asked already by second person and will try to do my own RSO for them. Normally i would call it a mistake, needed to lolitop them 20 cm up more, my lights are too weak for 10 such big plants, but in oil production case - its a win ! You should use all plant for production, not only buds, so ill give it a go. Only water in reduced amounts is all my work left. Hope to push them two more weeks. So FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH !!! as much as you can hope in soil ... ;))) Happy Growing !

Week 12 and we're still not there yet! However, the ladies are growing thicker every week. #2 & #3 are growing so thick, they can barely support the weight of their own buds. Really have to be careful when handling them, the risk of snapping a branch by accident is way too high right now. The reason for that is probably due to the crowded space in the growbox, in which there isn't much airflow despite having the little fan running nonstop when the light is on. Looking at the trichomes they can all take a few more weeks, just have to be patient now! This is plant #2/3. She still got the thickest buds, which are also the most delicious smelling ones! They developed a really strong acidic aroma, very close to sour apples. Apart from that, she is still ripening up and needs a few more weeks, just like the other ones.

Well last feeding was Tuesday so will be all water from here out. Excited to cut these ladies down soon. Two weeks of flush and I’ll let them do their thing. If I see anything going wrong I may cutdown early or I may chop Betty a week before Vanna to see if I get any differences. We had a hot week last week but they seem to be fine. Heat got to about 85 last Saturday but it cooled down quickly at night. Here they are. In all their glory.

Laid out the Srog nets with intention to change the light setting next week. Added pre-flower nutes as well as a 1" top dress - with some added nutrient mix. Thoroughly watered and ready to start training.

I think I am worrying myself more than I need too. The calicum defficiency has took over around a half of the fan leaves on 1 of the plants. I don't have much hope in a great yield from this one but fingers crossed my other 2 were caught in time. Have folder fed with a slightly more concentrated spray of cal mag and ph'd water. Whilst keeping a feed, plain ,feed schedule Unfortunately I don't currently have access to a ppm reader so can't say for sure exactly what the problem is but It seems the defficiency has slowed/stopped. Will continue to monitor.

She's an octopus full of very stinky sweet nuggets man!. I'm in love with this black cherry punch #1 she's in a 30l pot and her performance has been amazing. Very happy with this lady. The aroma of the flowers is suuper sweet very like cherry and like strawberries. Such a pleasure to grow this Cherry pie 🥧🍒 cross 🔝💎👨‍🌾 PD: I had to tie some of the colas cause they were just Fallin cause of the weight of the nugs. A set of 2 branches broke because of the weight of the nuggets so I chopped it down the 2 colas and put them in the drying room.

Hello GD !!!! This week things went complicated... Both cheese started preflowering and flowering right now, imma put you in the whole context of this .. Im really confused at the moment Both plants showed preflowers, over developed pre flowers ? .... Then hairs appearing, and i started to worry about this.. Temperature was good at 10/5 so put the plants outside, topped the girl and removed a few lower branches Couple of cloudy days and .......more hairs... maybe more like a first stage flower Talked about this with a more experienced grower, he told me that the plants should re vegetate when noticing longer days.. I have been researching and many people coincide with the revegetation, but.... maybe some grower or skilled revegger can help me out ? I mean im feeding the plant with BioGrow ph 6.5, yesterday with Green Explosion and BioGrow to seeif this helps the plant .... My plan was to make a monster plant this year, but things are not going as expected. Got a Jack Herer waiting if i need to germinate a new plant now but would be a mess of Cheese Thank you for your time guys !!!!! EDITED 22/05 : The other cheese which have a slowly develop in comparision, has developed flowers too but are smaller, and seems she is showing ReVegetation Signs !!!! with more leaves in the popcorn buds and new growth, so we are waiting a few days to take a decission. Thank you so much for the advice mates ! EDITED 24/05: The buds are getting frosty .... wtf, temperatures are low, this is a really weird year... Winter come later than usual, and still here..
