This week brought a mix of progress and a little drama. On Day 30, the Do-Si-Dos Auto was top-dressed with worm castings, Stonington Plant Food, and fish bone meal, then watered with a Big Bud nutrient solution (2 ml/L). She responded well and showed continued healthy growth. On Day 32, a surprising discovery: the main stem had snapped during earlier LST without being noticed, effectively topping the plant. The damage was clean and the plant adjusted quickly, redirecting growth to surrounding branches. LST ties were released temporarily to reduce stress, and leaves were tucked to expose new growth. Light LST resumed later in the week to maintain an even canopy. Humidity ranged from 53–65% and temps hovered between 75–81°F. Lighting was gradually increased to nearly 75% over the course of the week, with the light height raised to 21" above the canopy after redesigning the desk setup. The plant was placed onto a new auto-watering base, raising the pot height and improving drainage and airflow. No Cal-Mag was applied this week, but a Cal-Mag watering is planned for early Week 6.

Rain and more rain most of the week has stretched her alot. Plant is healthy, I managed to sneak in feed between rain storms.

Cali crasher is coming down next update. She is under the Hortibloom Solux 350 at 50 percent right now. She is waiting her turn in the cannatrol. Everything is looking good. She has some nice big frosty colas on her. See you in a week for the harvest.

7.14.25. Finally harvested this plant! Quality of buds look pretty good even though I diminished the harvested big time by stunting her in vegetative stage and she never recovered! Wet weight of buds was only 25.7 grams. Definitely will be ordering this strain again and correct what went wrong on this grow. Thank you for looking at grow I appreciate it! Will be back in 1-2 months with new grow!

WEEK 6 This Black Runtz is growing at a vigorous pace and has handled all training perfectly so far. I’ve topped her to 16 shoots, and she’s developed with a very even structure. Overall, her growth has been quite stretched up to this point. I’m hoping she won’t get too tall later during flowering. Everything still looks really promising and gives hope for a great bloom phase. Next week, I’ll switch the lights to 12 hours to initiate flowering. This week, my lamp ran at 500 PPFD, and I watered once with plain water and once with nutrient solution.

Flowers are really starting to get big. The Lotus boost nutrients have helped amazingly.

This week #2 has fattened up a fair bit. Earlier in the week I tried a technique called backbuilding which I never heard of before which involves snipping of the very top of bud growth late in flower to encourage fat buds rather than stretchy ones. Left a couple as they were to compare. I am giving this one plain water from now till the end. #1 is progressing. The bottom of the plant has totally disappeared haha, hopefully the GHE nutes will save the top. Due to lacking nitrogen during its extended veg period which I wasn't planning for; thought it would start flowering anytime! Looks a lot more frosty than #2 did at this point. Should be a good harvest none the less considering how it has had the top cut off and the deficiencies.

Very excited for my first grow ever. My soil is the Biobizz-Light Mix in a 11L pot .I got so impatient that i even dug it out at some point to see the progress...i hope it won't have any consequences. The first days, i only sprayed the soil with some water to keep the soil moist. At Day 4 of germination i watered it for the first time with 250ml tap water at 6,5ph. I will run my light for 18 hours now at a distance of 60cm with full power. That will lead to round abot 215 ppfd and 12k lux for the final days of germination. At day 6 after germination two darker spots appeared on the first 2 leafs. I hope it’s just because of some water drops on the leafs. Watered every 3 days with 350-500ml of 6,5ph tap water. 23.05.24: For my definition the vegetative stage starts today. I will turn the light up to 500 pphd Very excited what will happen next!

58 days of flowering: I started cutting the most mature apicals 42/57. I will wait for the remaining 7-14 days. first 42: 370.5g

Day 56 They recovered from their transplant shock and are growing fast, almost 10cm in 1 week, I’ll flip them into flower next Saturday. Even tho I’m wasn’t that happy with how the veg stage went at the beginning, I feel like they are really happy with their environment. Still haven’t solved the nutrient burn completely.. as I’m not really able to flush them with high ph water to balance the low ph soil. I’m thankful for every advice 🙏🏾

Last week of feed for this lady :) Update end of week nine , Well the bud production this week has been absolutely crazy , She has now slowed right down on her feeding too , so the flush begins , she still needs too cloud up and go amber but she will have enough nutrients in her and the soil too last her until she ripens , she really has been a joy too watch grow and develop , I would not think twice about growing this strain ,

So this week I topped every branch on my gopher glue and in Les than 48 hours she looked like she was in overdrive with new growth everywhere defoliated a few spots and she showed no signs of slowing at all. Tied down my branches on my fog hound auto as she showed signs of hitting her stretch and she had responded well to anything I’ve done to her. Really really pleased with these genetics from atlas seeds so far. Got quite a few more from them to run but don’t have access to the space at the moment but definitely wanna play around with some of their stock. This gopher glue is massive considering her age and how cold it’s been here even before the topping her lateral branching was insane and her growth structure has been squat and dense a bushy. I’m almost tempted to keep her in veg until early march and put her in the ground to take advantage of the high intensity of full sunlight. Outdoors in my location during the late spring I’ve had plants grow 4 inches a day almost so maybe I do this but maybe I just glowed her and run another outdoor this coming season. Let me know what you all think. Is this a bad idea

Cant take my eyes off my plant. This is my second round of growing and I am the type of person who learns through failure (not gonna upload the pics of the first round plants lol). The buds are thickening up very nicely. Hoping to get between 3-4oz , the strain is high yielding but I have a smaller tent. My auto yielded 2oz with the same space (2 plants in one tent splitting the space), but the buds definitely didn't develop as well as these buds.

Res change on Tuesday Dec 22nd. Did 100% of GH Trio (plus calmag and armor si) bloom week 2, "early bloom" came out to 1180 ppm even after adding an extra 20% of bloom nutes. Was hoping for a little higher. Last week my res pH kept dropping. I think I forgot to feed my left over nute solution from the previous res change. 😐 Maybe it's asking for higher nutes? I'm working on an automatic top off system. Got a pump hooked up to a smart power strip and have a google routine to pump a liter (or two) of water. Wanted to set it up so I can go cabin camping for a day or two. Update on 12/26, humidity seems high, just around 60%. Granted we had a warm up and rain. I'll keep an eye on it.

This week I transferred into 5 gallon pots & started to shape the canopy with daily low stress training and defoliating. Life's been hectic, as you can see my tents a mess.. keep the pimp hand strong growmies

Today is Monday (09-08-21). I gave them nutrients for the last time, and it will be time for flushing from now on. I expect the harvest in two weeks for the first two plants, and the third will be ready in 4 weeks. Everything is going right so far, this Thursday I will increase the lights to 100% , so it will be a nice trichome boost in the last two weeks.

Nice week of steady growth, nothing to report really. Let's just hope for a decent harvest. I'm not expecting to much but I'm guessing 40g/50g
