Last transplant. Planning on taking a few clones just to preserve any strain that might turn out really good. I’ll do that at the end of this week and I’ll turn to flowering next week.

week intel: it was the time to prune the cover crops this week i chopped them - no problem all good stresses : just a little E.C stress around 1.4 once a week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them heavy with silicate +base nutrients(calcium & micros + Bloom) about 707 ppm - 1.4 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Feeding Booster around 275 ppm - 0.57 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them with normal dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 213 ppm - 0.42 e.c to let them recover the stresses to get ready for another stress next week. guide of the week : autos do so so so much better with 20 hours light per day pls dont run autos near femenized 1 of them must get sacrificed

All done and dusted on this bad boy. Nice big bushy auto that did its job from the beginning. It was always harder work than the Do Si Dos and with what I’ve hung up to dry I don’t think it’ll have a larger harvest either. The smell is super strong and very fruity and will give an updated the final smoke and weight. 🙌🏼

I am dropping a seed from Pure Instinto Seeds called Gorilla Cookies. I am grow it under the Spider Farmer G3000. The light use to be named the G300w. I scuffed the seed and have placed it in water. It is on a Spider Farmer germination mat for a little warmth. It will remain in the cup for 24 to 48 hours. Basically once I get a tap root started. I will put her in a 4 gallons of coco/perlite substrate. My schedule is about a 9 week vegging then flipping to flowering. 🤞🏻 for a great grow.

D8. We're at the start of the second week, and there isn't much to report. The girls are slowly getting taller and wider. The leaves of both plants show interveinal chlorosis, and the first one also has a tiny bit of a burn and twisted leaves. I suspect that is due to the girls growing right into the topdressing, and I'm hoping that it will correct itself as the girls get bigger with more substantial root systems. I prepared some foliar spray with fulvic acid and horticultural soap as a wetting agent for my other tent, so I also gave these girls a very light foliar spray. I might as well when I have extra :) ------------------------------ D9. The chlorosis is decreasing, but we have squatters in the tent! I've started germinating this year's chilis: Fidalgo Roxa, Jalapeño Early, Serrano, and Mushroom Yellow. I'll keep them in the tent as long as possible since it saves me some electricity. ------------------------------ D11. The second girl had a later and slower start, so she is lagging. Let's see if she catches up eventually. Soil is slowly losing moisture but still far from needing a watering. DLI set to 16. ------------------------------ D14. The end of the second week. By now, there's a clear size difference between the two girls, with the first being significantly larger. On the other hand, she also has twisted leaves, which the second girl doesn't have. One leaf is even a bit burnt. I tested the soil today, and it clocked in at a neutral pH of 7, so I doubt it is a pH issue. Instead, I suspect it is due to the topsoil being too "hot" with the top dressing I put on before the grow. In hindsight, it might have been better to wait with the top dressing until the plants had established themselves. Oh, well. We grow and learn. I still haven't given the girls any more water, so the fungus gnats get to enjoy life a while longer. Although, they haven't really become much of an issue. Still, the buggers have gotta go, and I'll water in SF nematodes to deal with them in a few days. I raised DLI to 20 yesterday. ------------------------------

didn't finish the whole week of veg, stopped at 53/44 before switching to 12/12 light cycle, gave RO only final day and have switched feed to bud a and B. all photos are from day 53 and earlier. since this post and switching to flower I have taken 4 clones, 2 using clonex 2 using aloe vera. i have done a ton of lollipopping and defoliation since flip and they are stretching away! stayed tuned for week 1 flower updates :)

31.05 yesterday was the end of the fifth week for the plants, some were transplanted yesterday, some today, and some not yet, but most of them were transplanted and topped for the first time... I was late with the topping because I didn't want to top before transplanting.. I topped most of the plants between the sixth and seventh nodes instead of between the fifth and sixth, some I even topped between the seventh and the eighth, but what's up... the weather normalized for a day and immediately started with severe heat... in the sun now it will be 40+ degrees C, until the other day it was 15, this is definitely not normal...the pictures and video are from yesterday, in the next update I will post pictures from the site Stay high ‘n’ keep growing!!!

In the penultimate week, the buds are dense and hard, with a very pleasant sweet citrus scent. In these 15 days before harvest, I start watering only with RO water and a pH of 6.0 - 6.4. At the beginning of the last week, and around 3 days before harvest, I flush with RO + Cleanse 10mL.

Flush week, straight water flush and I expect to chop and harvest this coming Sunday, maybe Saturday depending on trichomes and how dry the promix HP is. Overall I'm happy with this plants growth, she survived a heat stress issue and has developed lots of bud. While not huge buds, compared to my last grow of this strain, I'm still super pumped with this strain/plant. Updates will come after harvest and after drying for final weight total.

Checking in. Today is 7th day on a flowering light schedule and my girls are just about to show me their flowers. Vegetation is changing shape and a few pistils are growing on each site. I was struck by thrips the day after my last entry so spent the first few days sorting that problem and really giving them some attention. A simple smoke bomb has rid me of the thrips and in addition I've also given them 2 lost of foliar soap spray which I will continue to do weekly. Despite the thrips my girls have been very happy once again. Feed wise I dropped the nutes down below the recommendations on the feed chart. Feeding 1 in 2 days at around 1.6 EC where the chart suggests 1.8-2.0 EC. As of this week they will now be getting fed every day. I defoliated about 15 large fan leaves off each plant twice this week but they just keep kicking back and within 2 days the canopy is thick with vegetation. I also managed to take a few photos of the second largest plant outside of the tent so you guys could see how my training method has shaped them. Only reason I chose this one as it's the easiest to get out of the tent safely. It measured roughly 18" tall and 40" wide. Another good week but I'm now nervous about encountering problems as we move deeper into flower as I know they don't cope or bounce back like they would during veg.

I got a new, bigger light. The old one just didn't seem to be doing much at 25w. This new one is 150w. Been keeping up the same feeding. Every feeding is 200ml. Every other one has 5ml of the grow big. Now that it seems to be at flowering stage, I'll be moving onto big bloom for nutrients next feeding. Staying at the same 5ml. I hear with plants less is more. I'd say I'm watering plant two every three days. Plant one has miracle grow in it. So I water it maybe once a week. The m.g. retains water for a very long time.

Flower time! Cant wait to see how she comes out. I have bent the main stem over a couple squares to keep her a little lower and spread out to be part of the scrog without topping her. Seems to have worked great and all the main colas are above the canopy but not too tall the are gonna block the surrounding ladies. She nice and snug in there making herself at home. I am expecting some nice and plump flowers from her as she looks very healthy. The root supplement and the folair feeding does seem to have helped a bit but i'm always cautious for placebo. The weights at the end will tell the tale. I already have quality down so I'm looking to raise the weight without sacrificing quality. I would also like to improve on my smell and flavors, have been steadily improving crop to crop and hopefully will keep that trend going for a long long time. Just a little better each crop with small techniques that add up to fat flowers!! She kinda blends in this week but the next week or two she will stand out again with her unique flowers

She was the first to pop up (and strawberry pie later that day) I won’t be topping any autos this run! I will be only low stress training until scrog and then I’ll high stress train if necessary! I’ve given the first feed today of biobizz (doing fastbuds organic the other 3 synthetic) my aim is to keep the veg period vigorous! As a great veg equals great bloom!

I use it as a supplement that nourishes the soil and helps maintain the condition of beneficial microorganisms.I try to push her to bring out her potential as much as possible. #Notill #Livivgsoil If you like it 🙏💚🥦💚🙏 Taste:🍬🍒🥛🧀🧀

Empezando la semana 9 de vegetación, hice una defoliación, les saqué demasiada materia vegetal, les daré entre 3 a 4 semanas más de vegeta, así que tendrán el tiempo suficiente para que sigan creciendo con fuerza los brazos. Los clones ya cumplirán una semana desde que los tire a maceta de 7 L, hice un riego con voodoo juice que me quedaba del los cultivos anteriores, en la semana subiré más fotos.

Potted into 16 ltr pots and moved into a different tent to finish up. I will let her settle them thin out the canopy for better light penetration and to reduce humidity..

Things are starting to really pick up speed! New growth errrday about 1" on each branch! Still no PH issues, but man is that 1L drinking a lot! I've been having to feed 10L every 3 days between both 1Ls, so about 1.5L a day it's drinking. The 1L is also MUCH farther along than the 64L, although the 64L is about 6 days younger, so perhaps it'll catch up soon. I also snapped a couple branches on the 1L dude but patched them up and they're healing well.

Zealix is doing good. She has shifted more into flowering and is developing her Cola sites. Everything is looking good. I will likely do a solution change on her soon for a potassium rich diet for her flowering.

*Week 5 Flower 09/24* Thus far both both plants are flowering and budding nicely, Trichomes are setting in accordingly, Increase in Phosphate and Potassium nute feeds. Both plants have appeared to stop growing in height settling in at 48Inches. Top COLAS are pretty dense and the aroma coming off both of them is bright and vibrant White Hairs are starting to turn bright orange. *Week 5 Flower Mid week update - 09/28* Both plants have reached max height (48 Inches) Bud sites are filling up and have become more dense with trichomes cover through the flowered bud. 60% orange hair coverage - Nearing harvest *Week 5 Flower End week recap 09/30* Both Apple Fritter and Critical+2.0 nearing harvest Cutting back on nute feeds starting tomorrow and will increase clean water feeds Flushing will begin in a week - both will be harvested in 2 weeks.

Still giving me a little stretch this week which is fine because there’s still some room. I initially thought they were going to get a bit taller or I might have waited another few days. Either way there’s a TON of cola sites and I’ve selectively removed a few fan leaves blocking them. I turned up the HLG 550v2 to about 90% power and switched the nutes to a higher phosphorus and less nitrogen base. All In all everything is on track.
