✋Wk 7: Will the size difference begin to fall in line with the predictions, and rearranging the wind. 👉 This week is Day 48 thru Day 54 total. (Feb 16 thru 22). Today (day 54ttl) the 1 gallon plant is at day 21 flower and the 3 gallon is at day 9 flower. 👉 This week has shown some interesting things. The 1 gallon plant is still ahead in the physical timeline, and has also started to demonstrate how the smaller pot is limiting its size. The 1 gallon has been ahead of the 3 gallon plant in size and stature, until this week. The 1 gallon has stopped stretching and is beginning to develop its flowers. I was worried it would continue to get bigger and may become an issue vertically as well as horizontally. The 3 gallon plant has grown a few inches and isn’t really stretching up yet, but it is growing overall in size. It’s a big dome of leaves right now. Its main cola is same height as a couple of the secondary branches. I doubt the main cola will remain the same but this plant hasn’t been typical from its germination so only time will tell. 👉 The other interesting thing has actually been trending this way for a couple of weeks…the run-off for both plants has been lower than the inflow and no low EC fertigation has been needed. The 1 gallons roots are undoubtedly densely packed in the pot. It takes several minutes to apply the nutrient solution. The volume needed has also increased. The 3 gallon still readily accepts the solution, but it takes more every day and the run off takes longer to start running out of the bottom. The saturation level of both pots has increased, and the 3 gallon especially. The EC for both has stayed below the inflow EC. This is unusual because part of the volume of water in the pot when saturated isn’t absorbed by the plant, it evaporates on all sides of the pot and the top of the media. This would leave the dried nutrients wich would rinse off at each fertigation adding to the TDS. The reduction of EC in the run-off means the nutrients are being utilized by the plant. I have dropped the inflow EC of the 3 gallon a little because I was worried about burn. I have kept the EC of the 1 gallon plant at the low end of the recommended EC range of the General Hydroponics drain to waste nutrient schedule chart for the Flora series of nutrients. I use the entire line of these nutrients. For the one gallon I had been giving it only the “simple program”, and the 3 gallon the “expert” (entire line). This week when I noted that the stretch has pretty much ended for the 1 gallon, and decided that I will go ahead and give it the expert mixture as well but given at the low end of the EC range still. Ive included the Fertigation log for the week. It shows the tent temps, the outdoor temps and HVAC setting. Also, I note when a fresh batch is made and what week on the schedule it is. Each pot has the recorded time of fertigation, volume, pH, and EC of the solution given and the corresponding run-off. I mix the solutions at full strength and use a solution with just silica and Cali-magic to reduce the EC to the desired EC. I mix that in at fertigation time. I also adjust the pH if necessary at this time. 👉 The structure of the 1 gallon is very stout main trunk, and each branch is very sturdy. The bigger fan leaf production has given way to smaller leaves. The structure of the 3 gallon also has a very stout main trunk and each branch is very sturdy. The 3 gallon has some very large fan leaves and it has lots of vegetation. Its very dense and hard to peer inside. For both plants I have begun to selectively remove branches that would not be producing anything but larf. The 1 gallon only needed the lowest main branches trimmed. I also removed some of its smaller shaded secondary branches and leaves inside the canopy. The trimming on the 3 gallon is similar, however its much harder to get inside. I just do a little at a time at each fertigation. Im not sure if the first set of branches on the 3 gallon will be tall enough to keep but I want to wait till the plant starts stretching to see what they will do. Ive left as many leaves as possible in the 3 gallon…a lot of really nice fat food factories. This plant may go very large, or it may stay somewhat stunted as it did during the early veg phase. 👉 I positioned the plants I closer to the back wall. I bought a oscillating tower fan and was hoping it would be a good addition to the tent. Alas, it had too strong of a wind current (on the lowest speed) and the 1 gallon was showing signs of wind stress after 2 days. So I removed the fan and re-positioned the smaller fans I had clipped up top of the tent. Both fans are now hanging lower on adjustable ropes and point toward the plants. They are working well like this and the air flow is good. I may modify the oscillating fan and install a variable resistor to the fan motor to reduce the flow. I have added the branch support to the legs of the stand the 1 gallon is on. These posts will be used to support the weight of buds or position them as needed. I will add the support posts to the 3 gallon plant after it has gone thru its stretch, maybe another 2 weeks for that.

Extreme defoliation

was a lil stressful because one of my AK48 autoflower branches broke during lst I never took it off hoping at this young age she van heal the branch back to full health gave her some bat poo and a few drinks of my feed .

Crystal coming on Number 2. This one is going to be small. Oz - 2. No amber trichs yet. All milky. And lots of them. This should be pretty good smoke. This one is close to harvest judging by the black purple and pink leaves she is growing. Pictures really don't do it justice. Number 1 flowers are just starting to brown up the hairs. This one looks like it should yield around 4ozs. A really pretty plant. Lots of premature trichs. The mutant. This one is now a super mutant. Buds bigger around than my fist in some places. Some buds are 50 cms long! I'm amazed. This is my first grow and wow! I only expected this after lots of practice. There's no telling what this one will yield as it's STILL shooting up colas! COVERED in long white hair. I'm feeding so much calmag and pk on top of her regular feeding just to keep her green. This beast is ALWAYS hungry. Because she is producing soooo much! As is on the plant, if it stopped growing right this second there's 5 Oz dry there. There's nearly zero smell. I selected this strain for low smell, but was over prepared for bad/overpowering household scents (that's a good thing!). It smells fresh, nothing like what you would expect from those literal trees that have grown in a couple of months. If you rub the plant, it's so sticky and then you smell piney lemons, but you could really grow this next to a drug dog and Rover wouldn't have a clue. This is turning out to be a fantastic experience after all the ups and downs over the last 3 months.

Welcome to week 7! Almost time to flower and things are looking good. Since last week I did some light defoliation and cleaning up of the bottoms over a few days. I also lightly tied some of the branches out to allow a bit more light penetration but also to spread the canopy. This week (at the end of the week) the plants got one water containing a 2tsp of kelp, and 2 tsp of freeze dried coconut. The ladies also got one foliar spray with Mountain Organics sprouts, citrus and Rita oil combined with a small amount of Method 1pps (see picture in week 6). Temperature and humidity has really been steady thanks to the help of my Grow Ratio ESU and fans. Hoping I can keep this rate of growth into flower.

End of week 9 harvest time for the blueberry. She grew very well and packed on a lot of weight in her last 2 weeks. I will update this in about 2 weeks with dry weight and first smoke, taste, flavor review. This will be my last grow of this strain for a while. Update - Mar 7 - dry bud weigh-in 218.3 grams. She had big buds, nice density, but not as heavy as I had hoped for.

Purtroppo causa infestazione di insetti le piante hanno avuto una vegetativa lenta e di conseguenza sono entrate in fioritura che erano alte 20cm.Penso che la mia avventura con le autofiorenti termina qua. Piante troppo delicate. Bisogna essere perfetti i primi 20/25 giorni e probabilmente non lo sono ancora.Si torna alle femmine per ora e in futuro si partirà da semi regolari di banche semi serie!!! Alla prossima 🖐️

Week 10: I loved growing this strain, it smelled so fruity while the buds were on the plant. Towards the end of flowering the buds looked sugar dipped as described on the website. The sap from inside the stems smells like skittles and sugar lol which was a nice surprise! Most pistils are Amber so idk what the THC/CBD ratios are going to be. Il give an estimate once buds are cured for 2 weeks or so! So I’ve managed to get some street weed to compare alongside my own weed and I’ve added the pictures to the harvest so you guys can see them. I tried to pick the best street weed from about 4 varieties so here we go... The street weed is called Wedding Cake, my weed is obviously Smoothie and I suppose what I want to know is how the street weed looks, does it look healthy? Any guesses as to how it was dried or cured if even? The first noticeable thing is that the street weed stems are huge and the sugar leaves seem to be left on the plant to dry too. Although I did leave sugar leaves on this time I feel that it’s not very professional. I have smoked a joint of the wedding cake and it’s not all that great, feel a bit sedated/couch locked but not high or happy if you know what I mean :) but yeah please let me know what you think in the comments :) Curing Update: (1) Been curing for a week and buds are definitely smoking much better now, the taste and burn still isn’t amazing as it needs a few more weeks curing but it’s unique and exotic. It’s very strong when it comes to THC, because it still needs further curing you could smoke a whole joint and think damn that’s still too fresh to get me blazed. By the end of the joint you would be struggling to keep a conversation or stand up, Stoned eyes that even eye drops won’t cure :’D and it’s also a real head high in my opinion, audio/visuals definitely enhanced too, everything is extremely bright, sharp and sounds great! I don’t really care about time of day smoke as i could need something stronger at different times for pain etc but this is definitely a Nighttime smoke, it hits so hard that the best thing you can do is put on some music and close your eyes or watch a movie. An amazing strain for zoning out entirely into some chill music and if you need weed to deal with strong physical or mental pain or sleep problems then I would recommend giving this a go as so far it has been a lifesaver for me. Curing Update: (2) So I think the buds have been curing for just over 2 weeks now and they are looking great and smoking pretty well too. A few more days drying wouldn’t have hurt them but I’m not worried as my Blue Cheese and Pineapple Express harvests are just around the corner! I added some lovely photos and a video to show you guys how it looks And I’m just about to blaze up a joint from the last photo and tell you all how it smokes too... (Lights up joint) Slightly damp on lighting it up although it burns near perfect. Instant hit on the back of the throat with smooth/mango flavors. I feel a bit dizzy quite quickly and want to sit down and listen to music after a few tokes followed by a relaxed or mellow feeling. I’m about halfway through the joint now and I’m pretty stoned. Definitely sweet and smooth like blueberry also sherbet sweet like mango! I’m almost finished my joint now and I suppose to sum up I’d say that it’s much like the blueberry smoothness you expect mixed with the strength from a well grown mango. I felt that the effects are great if your in a nice comfortable setting, get relaxed, be creative, watch a movie or even get ready to sleep. I would avoid anything that requires a lot of effort. Personally I’ve had minimal problems with getting to sleep and with anxiety while taking this throughout the day and would highly recommend it! It’s the best thing I’ve grown so far :) Il leave a final review on the buds in 2 weeks, until then take care and happy growing! Curing Update (3) - 05/03/20 So I’ve finished the smoothie buds and I have to say they were great. The only negative was it’s my first time drying buds with trim and they could have done with a little longer drying. I made some canna butter from 3G of trim and 2.25g of bud. I made ginger cupcakes with salted caramel icing. You guys can see it cause I added a photo. I can only eat 2 per day with a heavy tolerance - sedative cupcakes hahah. And check out my blue cheese and Pineapple Express diaries as it’s harvest time!

2/17: I spent a little time rearranging today. I bought some 32" x 14" plastic ventilated storage shelves and cut the legs down on two of them so I have some different-height platforms for the shorties in the garden. I should also be able to easily flush 6 plants in 5 gallon pots, or 9 plants in 3 gallon pots at a time now, that's a win!👈 2/18: I debated whether to feed or not, and settled on watering them with about 1/2 gallon each. including bembe, cal-mag, signal, humic acid, and a little beastie bloomz. The new dehumidifier is pulling about a gallon and a half per day from the air, so I should be able to feed them in a coupe of days. I've reached the ceiling again with my lights and the tall one is still stretching a little bit. I sure hate to have to supercrop her too...my garden is looking so wild and untamed already...😳 2/19: Rainy day outside, so I'm pulling in 99% humidity, plus the pots are still petty saturated, but the new dehumidifier is keeping up. RH is holding at about 45% today.👍 2/20: Day 31 of flower...the taller plant grew another couple of inches overnight! Damnit!😟 After emptying the closet (again) today and supercropping more branches (and some of the same branches again), a semi-solution occurred to me that allowed me to raise the lights another 3-4 inches! Now I'm truly maxxed out... These two plants couldn't be more different. One twisted-leaf 2-footer that started budding up in the first week of flower, and one beautiful 4-footer that's been very slow to flower.. The structure on the taller/sativa-looking plant is very promising, though...many long colas, and stacking up well...👌 I really needed everybody to finish in the same week so I could get my Spring autos going...😶 I'm still hoping that the big one will hurry the fuck up and finish by the EHD(3/11), but it's not looking possible at this point... I took photos and videos of all the plants today since I had to empty the closet and it wasn't a feeding day. 2/21: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including beastie bloomz, tiger bloom, big bloom, signal, bembe, and cal-mag...no grow big this time. 2/22: The tall one grew another inch...i threatened to bind her up like one of Silky_Smooth's plants if she didn't stop growing immediately. If she doesn't start budding up with serious urgency, she's gonna piss me off...my Spring auto grow must not be postponed! 2/23: I ordered some terpinator because I'm not so sure about Signal's efficacy at this point....I'm usually dealing with odors more by now..

I really needed everybody to finish in the same week so I could get my Spring autos going...😶 I'm still hoping that they will get their groove-on and finish by the EHD(3/11), but it's not looking possible for the taller one at this point... The shorter one is starting to smell really nice...faint, but funky. I took photos and videos of all the plants today since I had to empty the closet and it wasn't a feeding day. 2/21: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including beastie bloomz, tiger bloom, big bloom, signal, bembe, and cal-mag...no grow big this time. 2/22: The short one continues to pack on the pistils, but the taller one is slow as hell....😟 2/23: I ordered some Terpinator because I'm not so sure about Signal's efficacy at this point....I'm usually dealing with odors more by now..😕

Getting bigger and bigger... haven’t been feeding her very heavily but her leaves are darkening like the heavily fed mother plant. I think I figured out my problem finally, my pH meter was off and the pH of the water was way too low(4pH rather than the 6pH I thought I was watering). Buds popping up everywhere; ScrOG’ed her to have a bit more control over the grow. She takes up almost an entire 2x2 area of the tent by herself. I have four other plants in with her that I have to flower out. Plants in the flowering tent right now: Pineapple Express, two bag seeds(one I think is berry white and the other is either white widow or purple trainwreck... I mixed the bud up in the grinder so I don’t know which seeds came from what bud... I wasn’t expecting seeds at all since it was dispensary stuff but ended up with seeds in all three strains I bought that day)... I also have this purple trainwreck plant and one white widow plant all in varying weeks of flower.

This was my best experience yet with growing and am quite proud of myself! Training went almost perfect and the plants handled the resistance strengthened up and sprouted so many buds! All we’re dense and frosty by the end time! I dried in brown paper bags in 17.5-18.5c temps with a humidity of 40-50% and took 7 days to dry! I have them curing in 3L glass jars with 62% Boveda pack inside! I’ll be able to really taste the flavour then but it’s already strong and tastes great! Royal queen seeds are definitely worth a top place on seeds! Added a few photos after cure! The smell is like sweet pungent and flowery and the high is full body and u get itchy eyes and dry mouth!
