Stratching

07/15/2025 Started veg week by transplanting an AK 2.0 into a 20 gallon fabric pot others will be going into 3 gallon nursery pot. The 20 gallon fabric pot is in second year of growing, is amended with Carbon G (Lesco) worm castings and other organic stuff I can't remember, (Coast of Maine Stonington Blend 5-2-4) plant food and top pot off with Coast of Maine Stonington Blend soil, but I want to make it a no till type bed. I've also been watering pots with BIO-REMEDY to insure plenty of microbial activity in plants root zone and nemetodes too! See ya next week.

So here’s Week 2 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s grow. All in all an easy week but there has been time spent reinforcing a couple of the seedlings because they are so top heavy. I check in on my seedlings at least once a day (oftentimes 2-3 times daily) just to make sure that all equipment is functioning well and temps are stable. Upon looking into the windows of the tent I discovered that the smallest seedling (the one that lost one of it’s cotyledon leaves) was tipped right over. I gently supported her with a homemade splint (a tent peg/pipe cleaner combo- pictured above) and she’s currently standing on her own again. She’s still smaller than the others but surviving, not thriving for now. I used some fresh additional soil to fill in any gaps and pack down around the bases of the other three plants’ stems. Speaking of stems/stalks- the three healthy seedlings have peeling/stretching stalks and are starting to push out their first sets of branches. Other than that, same routine as always- watering every fourth day at 1.4 litres per watering or 0.35 of a litre per plant per day. I will be increasing the water sometime over week three. That’s it for now. Mom’s Tip for Week #2- Don’t Over Water! (when growing in soil of course)… When learning to read your plant’s needs, water is a very important factor to consider. I often notice other growers with tiny seedlings sitting in completely saturated pots of soil. Or read that many other growers don’t believe in placing newly sprouted seedlings into their final containers/pots. Both issues being easily resolved by simply paying close attention to your plant’s body language, it’s grow environment and sticking to a schedule. Cannabis truly thrives and benefits from a wet to almost fully dry watering cycle. From my own personal experience with photosensitive strains grown outside in the summer to growing autoflowers indoors through the fall, winter and spring- all of my Cannabis seems to do best when watered every 4th day like clockwork! This schedule is somewhat subjective of course depending on the environment that you are growing in. Here in Canada, much of our year is cool to cold and the humidity is relatively low. Because of this my plants are not always able to take in moisture from the air through their stomas so they suck up more water from what’s readily available in their pots. In other environments (ex. tropical), you may be able to stretch out this cycle- watering every 5-7 days because your plants are pulling so much water directly from the humidity in the air. And how you water your plants matters too. When starting out with newly sprouted seedlings placed into their final containers- less is more. There is no need to completely soak all of the soil in a 5-7 gallon pot. Simply start with a small amount (0.5-1 litre) directing the water to the base of the plant, working your way outwards in a circular pattern. As you increase the amount of water, I try to work my water outwards- making my circle slightly bigger each time I water until eventually I am soaking the soil surface all the way out to the edges of the pot. This process is gradual, stretched over a period of 4-6 weeks. It will encourage the roots to reach for water and allow your plants the time needed to grow into a heavy dose of H2O. Finally, learning to read your plant’s body language will help you to understand when they need and don’t need water as well as food, more/less light, temperature changes, etc. Healthy, well watered plants are generally light green with leaves slightly turned up towards the light/sun. They will be growing/thickening every day and able to support their own weight even in a very breezy environment. Leaves are soft and supple, not dry and brittle and there are usually no marks or discolouration of any kind on the foliage throughout your grow. Water quality is important too but that’s any entirely different tutorial for another time. Bountiful harvests are very possible by simply tweaking your watering schedule to suit your plants’ ultimate needs.

So I have spider mites. I screwed up so much i think this is going 15 weeks. Lost coast to the rescue! time to finish these buggers off

I'm greatly impressed!

Bien pues os presento el nuevo cultivo, 5 variedades de GB Strains de la mano de GB The Green Brand. Son unas Tropicanna Cookies, Apple Friter, Bannana Wafflez, Grand Daddy Purple y Miracle Alien Cookies. Les haremos transplante y la maceta definitiva sera de 7L voy a usar la tierra de marca Gramoflor en concreto la Gramomed es una tierra menos compacta, mas aireada y con hongos beneficiosos. Por ahora llevamos unas 16 horas desde que empezamos a germinar, pronto metere actualizacion de estado :D 05/04/22 -- Actualizacion de estado: Bien pues he subido mas fotos y os explico: Las mas grandes se empezaron a germinar el 22/03/22 y las mas peques 1 semana despues, el dia 29/03/22 Las GDP (grand daddy purple) no salieron y las descarte. Creo que pasaron mas frio que las demas y fue fallo mio. -- Actualizacion 11/04/22 Las mas grandes empiezo ya a contar 1º semana de crecimiento a partir de este lunes 11/04/22 y en 2 semanas maximo transplantamos a 7L definitivas

Omg... OMG.... O MY GOD MASSIVE litteraly massive size plants. You think they done getting taller and your wrong. I super cropped 1 branch cause was over the light, then the next few days 4 more shoots take off to the light few inches off the light to be exact! So lets see what happens with this light at 100% with buds that close if will bleach or what... if they grow past will prolly have to super cropp. But that is just 1 that is a damn tree the other 2 are about the same both medium tall height and have started to put on a resin coat already even down to the lower buds. Witb the help of a little defoliation i did to get more light down in the canopy!! Still same canna nutrients at the heavy side at ph of 5.6-5.7 about 3 L every 2 days. Have dropped off the rhy and picked up more everything else no pk yet. Love

Starting to take shape and smell😂 was able to take a fastbuds down this week to help the ramp into harvest. 😂😂 gréât strains - spring is here - on Twitter now @greenleopard420 - all good. Variation if feeding in the tent. Those little fleas still there , nematodes didn’t work so disappointed there.

Heute startet die 9. Woche,nicht wie hier vermerkt die 12. Woche. In so 2,5 Wochen starte ich dann mit Final Part von Terra Aquatica und Flash Clean um zu flushen. Die Buds werden fetter und die Pflanze ist super gesund. Ec Wert des Wassers steigt von anfänglich 1.5 immer auf 2.5 sobald der Wasserstand runtergeht. Muss nach 2,3 Tagen immer ein wenig Wasser dazugeben. Die Temperaturen sind für Indoor immer noch zu hoch,die Luftfeuchtigkeit ebenfalls. Werde das nächste Mal Indoor erst im Oktober starten, wollte aber mal sehen wie das im Sommer funktioniert.

Day 85 since seed touched soil. Trim jail !!! More than 2 meters of hanging buds , a bit airy, but amazingly smelly !!! Happy Growing !!!

Buen crecimiento

Last week plants were looking super healthy and responded very well to the second topping so I decided to flip the light schedule few days later. They already started stretching and the smell is noticeably enhanced.

Come si evince dalle foto le talee sono oramai diventate piccole piante e stanno crescendo molto bene e in salute, oggi dopo 14 giorni cambiamo la soluzione per raffrescare acqua e nutrienti!!! Happy growing!!! Venerdì 19/01/2024 Inizio controllo ec 1444 ph 6.5 Cambiamo l'acqua Partiamo da 75 lt acqua demineralizzata, otteniamo ec 345 ph 7 Aggiungiamo 135 grow 90 micro 45 bloom 75 sensizym 75 calmag 75 rhino skin 75 nirvana 75 bud candy Ottenendo ec 1602 ph 6.1 Ci aggiorniamo la prossima settimana 🥂

Still going strong,.. smell is amazing one is full purple doesn't really show that much as purple on cam but you can see the difference still,... both really good the purple one is little further ahead than the green one but both are looking good,.. roll on next week 👌

Only the final straight now will start flushing within the next week. Really not a lot to say at this point other than roll on harvest time!

They have shown sex and seem to have grown multiple pistils from calyxes so I'm hoping there going to continue to flower. 🙏 Shot up in the last week and two smaller ones have now become two tallest. Trying to convert a branch on the tallest fastest growing middle plant using a home made STS solution!

Finished the last week of flushing WOO! and its harvest time! I put them in 48 hours of darkness on Wednesday ready to crop for saturday, I will do a proper harvest report next week when I have them ready to go into curing jars along with some pictures and a full report, but I will add this some of the smells I was getting whilst trimming where unreal smells like pine, citrus, beef and a really faint sweet smell I cant put my finger on... I'm not saying that's 100% what it smells like but it smells similar to wild garlic. Well these b*tches took 14 long hours( could of done it quicker but we made a day of it ) all bud is trimmed and primed for drying then curing. Happy Growing 👊👍

Baked Bomb autoflower grew really well. I had a issue getting a seed going, then some ph issues in vegging. Beside that she just thrived. Big dense colas with a cherry vanilla fruity smell. Loaded with trichromes as well. Can't wait to give her a try. Thank you Bomb seeds, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
