11/02 - Pre-harvest 109g of wet bud (tare weight of plate 358g). Letting the rest go for some more days. Light lowered to 28cm. 16/02 - Plant fully harvested. Total 209 g wet with all the stem you see on the last pic. Hang drying in 20-21°C, 55-60% humidity. Strong hay smell of the pre-harvest buds, not yet ready. Will update final dried weight later to see the results. 19/02 - After 8 days of drying, the pre-harvested buds have been trimmed & moved to curing stage in jar. 24g dry out of that batch (was 109g wet). Monitoring humidity in the jar to keep around 62%. Still leaving the second harvest to hang and dry 2 more days. 21/02 - Total dried result: 24g nice top buds 13g second grade buds from second harvest 12g loose popcorn buds for edibles Total 49 g / 57 watts 0.86 g/watt ratio. Not too bad, but can and will be improved next run. Lessons learnt: 1. Definitely will build some activated carbon filter to decrease smell. 2. More lollipopping / defoliation on lower parts at start of flower to decrease loose popcorn. 3. More balanced nutes in pre/mid flower to avoid extensive yellowing. 4. Adding bone meal to soil from start to let it degrade fully. 5. Applying 4 times of bottom feed to avoid drying out the bottom of pot. 6. Never let lights closer than 27cm. 7. Maybe try 20/4 schedule. 8. Might let it go beyond week 16 to let trychomes start to amber. Luckily the hay smell is totally gone during the cure. Very happy with the results. Thx for the support & interest! Good luck to all! See ya at the next run!

After the shock of all gelatos showing male signs, we got our shit together and removed all balls !! Zkittlez is getting out of tent for her black period tomorrow, giving our bigger gelato more space !! We still have one week and a half before Zki2 leave the tent and let the girls ride !! The final 4-5 weeks will go mad !! Need to clean our hps bulb and cooltube.. Tangie will go to their space, cuz she didnt show balls, so less maintance.. cheers and dont give up on hermies.. maybe it was just a bad day !! Temp dropped with a polar mass coming to our town, and water was freezing !! Light leaks were considered too, overwatering/feeding were disconsidered LST and rearrengement will be done as soon as Zkittlez mature..

12/31: Two of them are doing well, but the 3rd is doomed I think. Glad I started an extra #11! Today was the first day in which I fed them some Big Bloom and Boomerang along with humic acid, pH'd to 6.1. 1/3: I've been letting them dry out a bit for the last two days. They've got roots coming out the bottoms now...I'll probably transplant them into 5 gallon fabric pots tomorrow or the next day. I ordered a 4' 180w tube light with 578 LEDs..it has a 360 degree beam with 3000k and a bunch of 660nm. It's waterproof, so no worries about keeping it beneath my canopy to illuminate the lower branches and hopefully increase the density of those buds that never get much top-lighting. Today, I mounted my two new 24w UVA LED lights (395-405nm) to my frame. I'll run them 6 hours a day from the time I put the plants into my closet, until harvest. It is my understanding that exposure to UVA, particularly during the vegetative stage, triggers many different plant defense hormones, which speed growth and can increase heartiness to withstand constant exposure to UVB without suffering as much cellular damage as usual. I'm also ordering a 2' Solacure FlowerPower UVB (285nm-310nm) next week to use during flowering to stress the plants and increase trichome production. 1/4: I did a few foliar feedings with big bloom and fulvic acid today. 1/5: Weird...the one I thought would die, still hasn't. Her second set of leaves died, but the third is starting to grow? Transplanting day. I dusted their roots with magic dust and transplanted them into 5 gallon pots today. I had some excellent compost with biochar and myco that I mixed into their soil, too. I watered them in with about 2 quarts each of their first taste of full strength veg nutes, plus mycorrhizal fungi, trichoderma, beneficial bacteria, and humic acid, then I sprayed them with biotabs boomboom spray when finished. The were moved into the closet under the quantum boards, UVA's, and a pair of Miracle LED blue bulbs. I'll start adding far-red spectra to the equation in the next few days.

Have developed spider mites again! Not that big of a deal,as I have already treated with 86 liberally, and will continue to do so. However, I am extremely curious as to why they have not mingled on over to my dwc. The 2 grows are the same strain, everything is the same, except media. Any ideas on why just the one plant?

Strawberry Pie Auto ~~~~04.20.23~~~~ Day 13 - Above Ground 🔸05.06.23 -So these girls continue to be amazing, scuffed up the soil today, and added airstones to my reservoir, even though it is just water maybe the plants will enjoy the extra oxygen!, the Medic Grow Smart 8 LED is doing very well, at 40% the plants are getting plenty of light and not showing any signs of over-stretching! 🔸05.03.23 - Just over the last 4 days these plants are just growing vigorously and healthy, first real watering today and the plants are starting to eat that Gaia Green amended soil and loving it, the Medic Grow Smart 8 LED is doing very well, at 40% the plants are getting plenty of light and not showing any signs of over-stretching! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 📝Strawberry Pie Auto 📝Grown By: MrJones 📝@fastbuds_official 📝Soil - ProMix HP 📝Medic Grow Smart 8 LED - SETTINGS 40% V1 📝@medicgrow420 📝@gaiagreenorganics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 📝 A true delight with a delicious aroma and a stunning 26% THC.

This is the start of week 8 of flower The girls are just about done now going to let them ripen for another week then going to snip a lower bud off to check under the microscope to see if they done The top colas are chunky with the lower buds around the size of golf balls, the left tree has solid buds and the right tree has less so solid buds. I can smell some amazing aroma emanating from the tent like a gassed up orange HAHAHA, When you agitate the plants they reek like skunk. Until next time growmies hope your grows are caked in frost 😛 peace ✌️ 09/25/23

Let's see how it goes. I raised up the water so it is now 150ml 2x per plant so 300 per plant per day. The same with fertilization and the same days remain. I keep 14 hours darkness and 10 hours light schedule for Purple Punch obviously I take out from the tent and put separately. I can't wait to harvest the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe so I can use the tent for the Purple Punch. I give 18 hours light on so 12 hours on 4 hours off and 6 hours on 2 hours off. Basically, it was the only solution because I put the Purple Punch in at 23:00 o clock and take out at 9 am. So the light on from 23:00 to 11 am and then 15:00-21:00 and off from 21:00 to 23:00. It was the only good way based on my timeline working hours and school. I also see the first signs of flowering after 7 days of light schedule change of the Purple Punch. Hope it goes well. They have a totally different smell, both strong, but the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is like sweet and aromatic, and also like a muck heap 🤐😅👻The Purple Punch has strong smell but not sweet more like citrus. Saturday: I always had some yellow fan leaves but now it is getting more on the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe. Hopefully, it causes the flowering stage because the plant wants to use the energy for buds making and takes out of the leaves, so it is a natural process. I read that it means the plant is on the halfway of the flower. Hope the best. Tuesday: Purple Punch does well flowering, and the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe I think one more week so I will start flushing from tomorrow. I have checked the trichomes, they are cloudy, milky and the pistils started getting brown also so soon it will be done. The fan leaves also getting yellow as it can be seen so I think the next is the final week, if not then no more than 2 weeks and it is done. I can't really wait... End of this week Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 70cm and the Purple Punch is 40 cm.

Welcome back boys, A little update with those rock hard colas, the finish line is being seen not far away on the horizon. I hope they gonna fat a little bit, I think we all wish the big fattening deep down ... Stay tuned, stay stoned

15/2 So the plant it's growing much faster, i keep bend the top branch every 24H without any big sign of stress maybe also because she been trained since her first week, I've also start to bend on the side some sides branches trying to give a good canopy and space to the plant, from this week I've also start giving some green sensation from Plagron and i can already notice a good amount of pre flowers and sweet smelly tops

I plant 3 seeds out of a pack of 10. They all germinate correctly. They will be in a 3L pot with AllMix for the next few weeks. I use osmosis water with PH 7.0 and EC 0.4.

Watered plain 6:7/26

LST went good the plant is growing ervery day for 1-2 cm I am very happy with the products used.Until now i didnt run in any issue :) Starting to give a little more Water.

Parece que as plantas da direita chegaram no seu máximo, impressionante como engordaram os buds nos últimos dias

Hello again, GrowDiaries family! 😎 We’ve entered Week 13 and the Critical is reaching the finish line with incredible elegance. Autumn colors have taken over the leaves, a sign that the plant is moving its last reserves into the flowers. 📏 Measurements & Training -Height: 40 cm. Solid and very heavy structure. -Canopy Management: Airflow is perfect. The 12°C night temperature is helping the plant show off those spectacular autumn tones. -Visual Check: I’ve checked the trichomes closely: they are finishing their transition from transparent to milky. No amber yet, which indicates we are right at the peak of THC production. The pistils (hairs), however, are showing advanced oxidation. 🌡️ Environment & Climate Challenges -Temperature: Maintaining 12°C at night and 27°C during the day. -The Strategy: I’m sticking with lukewarm water for watering. During this ripening phase, it’s vital that roots don't lock up due to the cold, ensuring the trichomes finish turning milky uniformly. -Humidity (RH): Locked at 40%. With buds this dense, low humidity is my best insurance policy. 💧 Watering & Organic Strategy -Nutrition: We are in the home stretch. This has been the last week of nutrients to prepare for the imminent root flush. -Pest Control: The cinnamon barrier has been a resounding success. The substrate reaches the end of the cycle completely clean. 🌿 Flower & Resin Evolution -Diamond shine! ❄️ The resin is now much more opaque and dense. The aroma is pungent and sweet, the typical fragrance of a Critical at its optimal point. A huge thank you to all the growers who are following this diary and for all your support and comments! It's a pleasure to share this journey with such a great community. Happy growing to everyone! 😉👍

So the Northern Lights free seed from RQS ended up out living all 3 of the Dosidos’ “USA Premium” seeds that all died within the first week of sprouting, hopefully an explanation will be found for this as I have not been able to come to any conclusion as to what happened. Long live the lights amiright

This week: -I used for three days CO2 tabs in a glass of water. It seems that the plant has grown almost twice as much in height and width as in the last two weeks. -I placed 4 more worms -I defoliated about 6 leaves for better light absorption -I increased the luminousity -I increased the watering and nutrients

She's packing on some weight now shocked how chunky she is after the shock of the transplant. She's definitely a strong girl that's for sure
