Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 10 marks the zenith of our incredible journey with the Big Cheese Auto, and it's like witnessing a grand finale in a botanical symphony. A heartfelt salute to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that have led us to this captivating moment. Our green queen is gracefully fading into the final chapters of her life, akin to the changing seasons. The Autopot system, our faithful companion, has been the guardian throughout this journey, ensuring a nutrient dance that sculpted the masterpiece before us. It's like the closing act of a green odyssey. As we approach the grand finale, all additional feedings have come to a serene end. Our Big Cheese Auto is now sipping pure water, a gentle transition as she readies herself for the final curtain call. It's like allowing the plant to gracefully bow out, showcasing the culmination of her life's work. The transformation is mesmerizing! The colors are shifting like the changing leaves of autumn, a poetic reflection of the plant's life cycle. It's like witnessing nature's artwork unfold, with hues of green, purple, and amber blending seamlessly. Each leaf tells a story, a testament to the plant's resilience and the seasons it has weathered. The trichomes are now a sparkling crown, each one a testament to the plant's potency. Their production, color, and shape are in perfect harmony, signaling the imminent harvest. It's like a field of glistening diamonds, a visual ode to the journey we've embarked upon. As a prelude to the final act, all feedings have ceased. Our Big Cheese Auto now drinks pure water, allowing her to express her true essence in these concluding moments. It's like letting her compose the last notes of her botanical symphony. A profound thank you to Seeds Mafia for entrusting us with genetics that have flourished into this spectacular finale. Aptus Holland, your nutrients have been the invisible hand shaping this journey. Grow Diaries and the community, your support has been the heartbeat of this horticultural tale. As we stand at the threshold of Week 10, the sense of accomplishment is profound. Our Big Cheese Auto, though reaching the end, leaves behind a legacy in vibrant colors and trichome-laden brilliance. It has been an honor to witness and share this remarkable journey with you all. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together but first lets see how this one ends !

Week 3!!! Tied down the main branch. Giving them more nutrients 6ml per l I also increased the light intensity by 10% so I think I’m at 50% now My nutrients 1 x Adam: Base nutrient to use from start to finish | NPK: 3 - 0 - 1 1 x Eve: Base nutrient to use from start to finish | NPK: 0 - 4 - 3 1 x Lush: Veg stage additive | NPK: 5 - 0 - 0.5 1 x Rapture: Early Bloom / Flowering stage additive | NPK: 0.7 - 3 - 3 1 x Heavenly Harvest: Additive to enhance Flowering before harvest | NPK: 0 - 7 - 6 I am using 2ml /l Adam and Eve and 1ml / l lush. I feed the girls everyday, watering the nutrient water until I get 15% runoff. Hopefully that’s okay. Jiffy girl has got really big and seems healthy, but coco is a runt I think… it’s half the size of jiffy.

I increased feed to 1 gal when watering. I water 2 liters let her absorb that and 30 minutes or so later i give her anothet 2 liters. The small amount of run off is absorbed by the following morning. Historically my plants have drank 2 liters and yielded 57 smokaeble grams. They say the amount of consumption is an indication of estimate yield. If my hypotheses holds true, Apollo should yield about 113 grams (4oz), twice what I've accomplished in the previous grows. Fingers crossed. Fragrance in the tent is Sweet citrus diesel smell. Gently pushing the stems down and out, my hands, arms, and fingers are sticky. RQS says harvest at 70-75 days from seed. I think within 2 weeks for harvest. Based on 9/14 pop soil, my calendar indicates it's gonna be around the 20th. So before Thanksgiving.

Some nice red and pink hues appearing around the buds and the smell is really lovely, not overpowering but it is a pleasure to stick your nose in the tent and just inhale the aromas. Getting close to harvest time (10-11wks), will be cutting back on the nutes and begin flush feeding and watching the trichomes closely for any changes, they still look clear. Expecting her to start autumning off anytime soon. 18/10 Gave her a water feed 1.5 ltrs with molasses diluted ec 60ppm 6.8 pH

Yo yo yo! Day 8 The start of week 2 growth seems ok. Although as always I’m very impatient at this point. Watered with plain water today. Let’s see what this week holds for us. Below is a link to RQS if you would like to have a look at there selection. ✌️ Day 10, added a little heater into the mix as night time temps were dropping, seems to have done the job. Plodding along. ✌️ Day 11, gone to 18/6 DLI 34 watered with plain water tonight. Day 14, not a lot to report. Girls are doing ok. Some good growth this week. Watered last night. ✌️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/uk/autoflowering-cannabis-seeds/633-wedding-cake-automatic.html⭐️⭐️⭐️

And now it's time for Cheese! A wonderful experience from start to finish. I'm really proud of the result, the plant performed excellently without any training and withstood all kinds of stress well. Full of resin, a fantastic smell for cheese lovers and, I would say, an excellent result for an autoflowering strain!

the buds are very small, i had the same problem on the motherplant that i grew in hydro, its just a very bad phenotype, i had 2 of these in the package of 10 seeds, 8/10 was very good plants with very big yields of 125 grams/plant wich took very less space in the growroom. i yielded 170grams of this pheno in the rdwc system but the plant was very big ( took almost the whole tent in) so i reccomend not groIng this in hydro, it also finishes faster in soil with autumn colors at the end. i have a feeling the buds will get more weight in the coming week this is also only a 104watt LED.

Day 70, end of week 10, about 6 weeks into flower for the OG Kush, and everything goes smoothly ✌️🏽😊 The plant keep putting on some weight and size, and starting to give signs that she's about to finish! 😋 Trichomes seem mostly cloudy, although there are some clear as well, i have a feeling I'll start see amber in the next week... So tomorrow I'll decide if its time to start flushing or not. For me deciding when to start flushing always seems like the hardest choice to make during the growth cycle 😅😂 Anyway this monster plant looks great! buds are cover in resin all over, and the weight start to feel good. This phenotype is very different then a classic OG Kush when it comes to the bud appeal, as fast-buds describe the buds as rock hard (like a classic kush should be), The buds on this phenotype are more open in structure....🤷🏽 They still looks amazingly frosty and delicious though 😋 So, next week, harvest or not, we shall see😎✌️🏽🌱

Welcome our dear Friends, in this grow cycle we will try an awesome strain under an awesome light, I'm talking about Girl Scout Coockies and the 💡💡TS 600 by MarsHydro.💡💡 TS600 is an awesome lap for all growers, from the beginner to the expert because it has a balanced light spectrum (good for veg and flowering) and a low wattage. It is cheap to buy and to use, your bill will never be too high!! This lamp is also really efficient and it never get hot, a perfect replace and upgrade if you have an HPS!! (P.S.: They also have awesome stickers, you must stick them in your grow box for perfect results🤪🤪🤪) Here some details: Reduced Energy Usage LED Grow Light: Consuming 100w as well as installed with 225 pcs chips, TS600 is able to replace a 150w HPS light while saving 30% electric power. High Efficiency LED Grow Light: With overall light output PPF 190umol/S and good PPE 2.0 umol/j, it's 50% more photon effective so can promise a 30% more return comparing to the old HPS/MH lights. Patent Reflective Hood Design: The reflector on TSW2000 has actually been patented, which can effectively gather the light dispersed in all directions to improve its light intensity and aid plants acquire more light absorption. Full Spectrum Plant-Preferred Spectra: By the special combination of ranges that emits most light in the 400-700nm waveband, extremely conducive to plant photosynthesis. Appropriate IR(730-740nm) is additionally included in the range to help form larger buds. Trustworthy Qualifications And Warranty: CE, ETL, RoHS, UKCA security certifications approved, 50,000 hours long lifespan, 5-year service warranty, and local after-sales solution facilities. I WANT TO TELL THAT MARSHYDRO SERVICE IS INCREDIBLY AWESOME, I ALLWAYS RECEIVED FAST AND PRECISE ANSWERS! EXCELLENT LAMP, PERFECT CUSTOMER SERVICES AND FAST DELIVERY. THANK YOU GUYS, THANK YOU DEAR ELEEN! 💸💸💸💸💸BUY MARSHYDRO TS600: https://www.mars-hydro.com/mars-tsw-600-led-full-spectrum-hydroponic-led-grow-light 💸💸💸💸💸 OTHER AWESOME STUFF: https://www.mars-hydro.com OUR GERMINATION METHOD STEP BY STEP I Germinated all seeds in cotton pads because in my opinion is the best way, I'll tell you why. Why use cotton pads? You should use cotton pads because it is one of the fastest way to germinate seeds, it is also one of the more reliable way. This is a NOOB-FRIENDLY tenchnique, you have to respect some little and easy steps: -take one cotton pad, spray it 5 times with water; -dispose seeds in the sprayed cotton pad, remember to leave minimum 1cm of space between seeds, -take a new cotton pad, spray it 3 times with water, face it down and put it on the seeds of the first cotton pad; -now, spray the dry side 3 times. -put this/these "sandwich/es" in a sealed container of a sufficient size to store them, I use like a plastic tupperware (glass or plastic are equal) with about this size: 15x30.It contains about 8 "sandwitches". -store the container in a dark place with a temperature from 17°C and more. More light they see and colder is the place,slower will be the germination and lower will be the germination ratio. *(-If your seeds are old, not good stored and with a low germination ratio, I suggest you to use Seed Booster by Plagron. Old seeds and maybe stored in a very hot place for a long time may will be death may will not never germinate). Generally a normal cotton pad is good for 3 seeds. If you follow these steps, you will hardly have problem of non-germinating seeds. I tried all methods (except rockwool cube) and in the last two years (and I germinated a lot of seeds) I can tell that this is the faster and reliable way. I loved to use paper towel but with this metod is very easy to put too much water and it will be slow down the germination step. I really hope that this "rule" will help noob growers and maybe will help other growers to improve their skills. I personally do the step by step draw guide. ENJOY. 🍫🍫🍫ZAMNESIA SEEDS - GIRL SCOUT COOKIES AUTOMATIC: FAST AND FURIOUSLY TASTY🍫🍫🍫 TASTE OF A CLASSIC The enduring appeal of Girl Scout Cookies largely comes down to it embodying many crucial aspects of good cannabis. It owes its origins to the competitive Californian cultivation scene. Many classics have emerged from West Coast growers, but "Cookies" strains have spread particularly far and wide. Not least of all because they breed well with other strains. This has led to the creation of many Cookies hybrids looking to boost the already sensational characteristics of the original. Enter Girl Scout Cookies Automatic by Zamnesia Seeds. This strain harnesses the trademark high and flavour of GSC, and packs it into a compact autoflower. The uplifting effect of this strain makes for a high that is long-lasting and very satisfying. This is in part due to a THC content of around 17%. Although not as potent as some photoperiod GSC cultivars, this strain still makes waves throughout the entire body. These effects are made all the more sumptuous by the delectable flavours present. Distinctive dessert notes of chocolate, cinnamon, and mint make Girl Scout Cookies Automatic an ideal after-meal accompaniment. GROWING GIRL SCOUT COOKIES AUTOMATIC BY ZAMNESIA SEEDS While Girl Scout Cookies is undoubtedly a popular strain to cultivate, it isn't always the quickest to reach harvest. That's why Zamnesia decided to offer a robust autoflowering strain that encapsulates the hardy GSC genetics in small and compact plants. The resulting buds will be tight and resinous with thick orange hairs. The plant will finish its grow cycle after only 8–10 weeks post-germination. This strain is adaptable to most growing environments, reaching heights of 50–120cm indoors, and up to 150cm outdoors. While indoor plants are capable of producing 350–425g/m², outdoor plants can yield between 140–175g/plant. Not bad for such compact specimens!

On flower day 60, it was finally time. Three days before the final cut, I did a last light watering with plain water. The last 36 hours, the lights stayed on. In the end, I had around 20–30% amber trichomes. I'm super happy with the result. Trim jail was exhausting but totally worth it. The harvest is now right in the middle of curing. As for the smell: a sharp, earthy, leathery diesel mix with hints of lemon. The fuel note is, to my delight, much stronger than expected. Incredibly sticky buds. Sparkling flowers. Thanks so much for following along with the grow journal! Maybe it'll help someone with planning or give a general preview for a future grow of this strain. Much love and happy growing!

unfortunately the week didn't go as planned. i discovered mouldy spots on her and decided to harvest part of her earlier. the mould hadn't progressed that far yet, so it wasn't a huge loss. i harvested a total of 101g wet. let's see what the rest of the plant will bring on the scales? from the state of flowering she will certainly need another good 2-3 weeks or even longer, let's see. but she coped well with the partial harvest.

SUNDAY 5/5: Rearranged the gardens..have 17 plants in the 4 x 5 now...yowsa! MONDAY: Plucked some dead leaves and did a trichrome check on the furthest along. She's ready! I'll start flushing her tomorrow or Wednesday.👍 TUESDAY: I observed some white spots(maybe powdery mildew) on a few leaves here and there throughout the garden, so I sprayed them today with Trifecta Crop Cure, a concoction of a bunch of natural plant oils. I already decreased the humidity in the room to 45% with my new 70L dehumidifier, so I think they'll be fine. I'll spray them again tomorrow and the next day, then I'll have to hope that did the trick, because a couple of these hybrids are already in the harvest window. WEDNESDAY: I flushed one of them and watered the rest today and included a bunch of terpinator, bud candy, bembe, and cha ching. It was possibly their last dose of any nutes...but a couple might get one more dose... THURSDAY: Took a couple of photos and tried installing my new Solacure FlowerPower UVB light, but it was dead on arrival.😢..back to the 15.0 reptile UVB lights for now I guess...
