NOTES:
Keeping the pH between 5,8-6,0 and EC at around 1,4-1,6 depending on system. EC at 1,5 seems to be optimal and my measurements are staying pretty steady at that level. Humidity is lowered to around 50% if I can.
The tops are now at around 45-60cm height from the soil.
Continuing the last heavier defoliation/pruning process that I started yesterday at the end of 2nd flowering week. I saw no signs of mold or any other issues as I went through the plants.
After this week I'm going to change the nutrient solutions on the tanks and fill them with fresh nutrients with minor changes: Dropping the amount of Grow from 1,5ml to 0,5ml and increasing the amount of Bloom from 1,5ml to 2,5ml. After the change I'm only going to refill the tanks without adding any Grow and will instead increase the amount of Bloom to 3ml. Propably a one more change of fresh nutrients until flushing with Final Solution prior harvesting.
Day64 (19.12.)
Some more defoliation focusing on the upper growth revealing bud sites below them and keeping off the moisture. Already got a trash bag almost full of leaves since they've been pretty bushy plants on average.
Day65 (20.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process.
Day66 (21.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process, pretty satisfied with the results so far. Light penetration and airflow have increased greatly so I don't have to worry that much about humidity or possible mold any longer.
Each strain has started flowering, all plants are females and buds have started to develop. Defoliating didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I thought it would.
Day67 (22.12.)
Day68 (23.12.)
Refilled and added some nutrients with a stronger Bloom/Grow -ratio (~4:1) and left my girls to enjoy the Christmas Holidays as I did. I'll be gone for around three days, after that I'll change to new fresh nutrients as I mentioned before.
One Ayahuasca Purple seems to be ahead of others, and a few other ones have clearly started to develop some buds too, rest of the plants are following closely behind. Each strain has some truly astonishing individuals, and I think Ayahuasca's have shown most variety between different plants. Overall everything looks pretty good I think. Hopefully can say the same after a couple of days as I come back.
Happy holidays everyone!
Day69 (24.12.)
Day70 (25.12.)
I added another Led light to my tent just before the lights turned off. Everything looks amazing!

Day 14 - She's thriving it seems so far. She's bursting with tri-leafed nodes. I've changed the environment a bit. I have not been successful cooling the room enough to bring down the VPD from 1.3kPa or so. Instead I'm approaching it from a humidity perspective. I have the threshold up to 70%RH. I'm peaking the humidity to lower the VPD to .9kPa since I can't really effectively cool the tent to the low 70's. There is a slight aroma from the seedling. The infamous skunky smell is only observable when very close to the plant. I have not been using the filter on the exhaust fan though.

They are starting to shoot some pistils. I added some random store fertilizer that is 1-4-7 and put it in the 3 gallon. I poured it in a water bottle and just eye balled it pretty slow and not for long. It seems to help

Been feeding all of my autos as per usual. Did a little more LSTing so some of those smaller nugs might fatten up.
Hopefully I’m doing all this right and I can get a somewhat decent harvest for my first grow and considering my MARS Hydro1000 broke.
Just wish me luck guys!!!! Happy growing family!!

3rd week in and just transplanted my 6 girls! All spitting white pistols! Can’t wait to see what these girls turn out like! They are pumping along and am very happy with growth rate and health!using fabric pots as I like the soil to be able to get air! Using 1 litre of perlite to 25 litre premium potting soil! The potting soil itself is very coarse aswell to allow for good drainage! I fertilised the last 2 weeks and willl continue! Another 3 weeks under the fc 6500 by mars hydro then flip to flower! Will keep posted! My first grow using the newest LEDs instead of the old hps. Happy as people thanku

Last days were mostly overcast weather and fresher temperatures here. All 3 plants slowed down their growth and they also lost some yellow leaves from the lower part of the plant. I hope this is normal.
Plant 3, the one that suffered the bending trauma last week (see photos for details) is not showing signs of lethal damage yet, fingers crossed for me please! XD
Now let's have a look of the heights they have reached
PLANT 1 = 165cm (65"), +5cm (+2")
PLANT 2 = 160cm (63"), +8cm (+3")
PLANT 3 = 144cm (57"), +9cm (+3,5")

this plant has a tendancy to throw out lime green leaves which throws you off a bit.. its quite a sensitive plant to ph im thinking. make sure you get the soil right. given the sheer density of buds it wants to grow on the colas i would suggest that its best to use a big light on this plant and if you are going to scrog properly space the budsites otherwise it just forms one big clump of buds in small plants.. hard to get light to everywhere.. genetics wise though damn! very quick vigorous growth, chunky looking white pistils, and looooooots of leaf production. thanks california and fastbuds

Reduced light to 85%, which has dropped tent temperatures a few degrees. Daytime air temp high is around 82 again with leaf/bud temperatures around 78. Seasonal changes have dropped outdoor temperatures and therefore indoor temperatures as well. Night temperatures are getting down around 69F. Lung room humidity is bouncing between 45-50%.
The plant is looking strong with some definite signs of fade setting in around the canopy. Trichome development is great, a lot of white showing up and starting to look frosty! For the last few days I have not pruned many leaves to allow the plant to pull nutrients if needed. Mainly because I still have not done a full water change in the system. I have continued to water with a reduced strength nutrient solution with the same ratio to maintain the 600 - 650 PPM window.

It has been a pretty stress-free week. Humidity has dropped a bit lower than I would like so I have had to use the humidifier to keep VPD in check with daytime temperatures in the low 80s. I have spotted a few seeds developing around the plant (maybe a handful). From what I can tell it does not look pollinated and I cannot see any nanners. Either pollen from the second plant was mature enough and stuck around after culling, it pollinated itself, or parthenogenesis is at play here. Regardless, going to finish the plant as planned.
Trichomes are about 95% white at this point, by inspection with 30x loupe.

Started the water change to reduce reservoir PPM to about 450 by pumping some off and replacing the water with pH-adjusted water. About 5 gallons cycled. Reduced lights to 80%. The fade is really taking hold and looking quite nice. Plant is still very healthy and the smells are amazing!
Trichomes are about 98% white by 30x loupe.

This is the last week I gave veg nutrients, from next week my little girls will get flowering nutrients for the first time. These girls are growing much faster than I was expecting, It’s good to see how healthy are they. :) By the way these plants smell incredibly strong! Usually during vegetation they don’t smell too much, but this plant is an exception. They smell as they are already producing buds for a couple of weeks.

1/4 - start of week 5, the broken branch isn't looking good. I installed the 5 arm light which is my biggest light for the veg compartment. 500ppfd right now, drop it 1 inch and I'm just a bit over 600 at canopy level. I'm hoping to get her to recover and ill bend the 2 remaining branches towards each other to fill the gap for a 3 arm lady, still planning to top but now will get 6, 12, and 24 tops...hopefully
1/5 - slight training day, I bound the 3 branches so that they were more uniform and evenly spaced out in the pot. I'll let her take shape a few days with the restraints and the. Top her maybe Friday.
1/7 - she got her topping. I'm leaving 2 nodes on each branch for a total of 12 tops right now. She will get one more topping before its all over for a total of 24 tops, probably 2 weeks out on that. Feeding in the next day or 2.
Update: dropped the fan speed to 2 for temp and humidity testing.
1/9 - RAW Feeding tonight, she is starting to recover well from the topping, I now have 15 or so tops with one of the 3 arms splitting into 7 tops rather than 4. I think I will leave her this way to veg out to the height I need without further topping. I’m planning on training the shoots out to the sides so many more tops may develop as new nodes come through. I’m just really hoping she doesn’t start to flower on me early!!
2L distilled water
3g Grow
2g Kelp
0.57g Cal/Mag
2g Microbes Grow Stage
0.63g Amino Acids
0.14g Enzymes
6.0ph
66.9*F
1060ppm
Also found a new way to mix my RAW nutrients without having them stick to the bottom...small landscaping pond pump! It gets the water moving nicely and I just drop the dry nutes in, mixes it for me and I can easily fine tune PH and test PPM without having to shake and take samples! Huge win.
1/10 - Another week in the books. Did some fan leaf tucking so the tops had direct light. I'm still trying to grow her sideways so I'm thinking a solid 3 or 4 more weeks of veg. Things should speed up now though. I dont think I will be topping again but we shall see. Topping again would guarantee 30 tops which according to my math is a bit too many for my grow space.

Fruity Pebbles autoflower #1 is growing great. She love the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 light, and distance I have her at. She is looking really good, and I have done some training today. Lst, defoliation, and roots pruned. Can see the ball of roots that developed from prior pruning, and roots spreading out wider vs longer. She looks like she is gonna start her pre flowering very soon. Thank you ILGM, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.
Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻

Hey everyone Finally it was time for the lady to be harvested :-).
The buds smell very tasty and look very good so I'm really excited.
The trichomes are 70% milky and 30% amber.
As always, it came to the darkroom 48 hours before harvest :-).
There it will now remain after harvesting at 62% humidity for 8-12 days before it is put into the jars for fermentation with 62% boveda packs :-).
As usual, the last update will come after the fermentation.
Until then, I wish you all the best and stay healthy 🙏🏻

Die Purple Punch wächst ein wenig langsamer als die Purple Queen und hängt mittlerweile schon ca 10 Tage hinterher. Ansonsten bin ich mit dem Wachstum zufrieden.
