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 !

Buenos días familia, hoy traemos la 3 semana de floración de nuestras crazy cookies, zambezaseeds.
Es una cepa bastante vigorosa con un tallo robusto 6mm, exactamente a mitad altura.
Su cultivo es fácil, apenas se ve bloqueo alguno, traga muy bien en lo que se refiere a nutrientes.
Ph en 6,5 y humedad por debajo de los 45 % . 48h entre riego y riego, no olvidemos que están en tiestos de 7L.
Su floración está siendo bastante rápida estas semanas se verá como engordan nuestras flores, sin duda este es el momento para meter caña a big bud y bud candy.

02/24/25 - Short Facts:
- Plant is looking horrible, quite many leaves have necrosis -- had to cut many off
- VPD increased to 1.2, but I can only get it up to 1.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, what is there to say? I haven't had as much time lately, so I haven’t been keeping a close eye on the plants in general—especially on the 1:Walt. But a few weeks ago, I noticed that something was wrong and concluded that it had to be a sulfur deficiency.
So I bought Epsom salt, which contains both sulfur and a lot of magnesium. And here was my first mistake: I misdiagnosed the deficiency. My next mistake was using way too much Epsom salt—far more than I should have. That was a big mistake, which only made things worse. This is how the plant started to look like, but unfortunately, I caught it too late—like I said, I was quite busy.
It was so obvious that something was going wrong. The leaves at the top of the plant looked worse and worse by the day.
So I did some research and came to the following conclusions:
- I misdiagnosed the problem. It was never a sulfur deficiency but actually a manganese deficiency. The small spots all over the leaves later became necrotic, eventually killing some of them.
- By adding too much Epsom salt, I disrupted the balance between calcium and magnesium. This inhibited calcium uptake, leading to the symptoms of a calcium deficiency as well.
I bought some "micronutrients" that do contain manganese and I watered it in and also sprayed the foliage.
Right now, the plant looks so bad that I don’t know if she’ll be able to finish flowering or if I’ll have to do an emergency harvest.
The next big problem is that I won’t be here for about ten days, starting on Wednesday next week. So yeah... not good.

She is a bit stressed. I just changed the solution on her yesterday. She was showing slight deficiency signs. So I just reset the nutrition solution. She bounce out of it soon. I have 2 fruity pebbles plant going in different nutrition. She has done a lot of stretching in last week as well. Thank you Medic Grow, and ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱
Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻

Luego de una etapa vegetativa con muchos problemas se agrega un accidente que me deja sin las copas de dos de los ejemplares.
En esta etapa casi llegando al final de vegetativo, voy aprovechar los últimos días de calor del verano que se va en unos días para que crezcan lo más posible.
Siempre estimulando y agregando nutrientes para su salud.

Well I had a few issues with PM this grow again. This showed up in my previous grow and the spores obviously stuck around and decided to effect this grow as well. For my next grow I'll try heat stressing the tent by pacing a heater in the tent and raising the temp to over 32C for an hour or more while closely monitoring it. I believe the seeds sprouted due to the fact that my previous plant hermed on me and I think a few nanners popped in the tent, so there must have been some rogue pollen in there.
She grows quite fast and vigorously in Veg so stay active with training if you are performing that on your GoG plant. I fed her slightly light in the last 6 weeks or so in Flower with good response. I would say to keep your EC levels in check if growing with salts in coco. She seemed to react very positively to pinching and bending on the main stalk and really filled out when I did that. Same with topping. Side branching is very good. My particular pheno here had a higher leaf to calyx ratio so trimming was a bit tedious.
The high is nice, it's a good hybrid strain. Would def grow again.

Moved them to my main grow tent, then i transplanted the girls, gave them more fertilizer.
I topped phenos 1,2,4 a second time. Pheno 3 the slowest to develop not gonna do it again with her.
Pheno 4 is kind my favorite at the moment with better lower branches.
I also started LST on them.
They are really resillent with heat 💪🏻 it's been really hot where i lived and i don't have air conditioner unfortunally

SCROGING is an amazing technique that I will get better at but this being my first real attempt I clearly see how important it is to get everything cleaned up under the net. I’m not touching anything now and I’ll just do better next time.
Anyways my garden looks really good, and the buds look real good and my canopy is pretty even. I mean it’s 4 or 5 inches off and if I would have tucked one more time I could have got things a bit more even. The Grand daddy purples buds are definitely going to be lighter. The vanilla frostings buds are going to dense and thick.
If I take what I’ve seen from the past couple harvests my light will really turn these buds into little dense monsters. The viperspectra PAR1200 is a good light and makes heavy dense buds. I highly recommend the PAR1200 for a 3 x 3 space.
Happy 420!
Update - I think I missed 1 week in my grow. Today’s the last day of week 4 and I gave the girls a little trim today and cleaned those big fan leaves off. What a difference a little trim makes! I took these new photos about 8 hours after their trim. All those buds sites that were being covered reached out and here’s a few pictures of what was underneath. Have a great weekend!

Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich prächtig und füllen nun das Netz fast vollständig aus. Beide Sorten – 24K Gold und Gelato 33 – zeigen stabiles, vitales Wachstum und reagieren hervorragend auf das strukturierte Training.
24K Gold streckt sich kraftvoll und nutzt jeden freien Platz unter dem Netz. Ihr Wuchs ist offen und energiegeladen – perfekt geeignet für die ScroG-Technik. Die Triebe wurden mehrmals umgelenkt, wodurch nun ein gleichmäßiges Blätterdach entstanden ist.
Gelato 33 wächst kompakter, mit breiten Blättern und dichter Verzweigung. Sie reagiert gut auf das horizontale Führen und bildet viele gleichwertige Triebe. Ihr buschiger Wuchs sorgt dafür, dass sich das Netz schnell und gleichmäßig füllt.
Die Tropfbewässerung läuft stabil mit mehreren kurzen Zyklen täglich.
Düngung weiterhin bei Canna Coco A + B → 4 ml/l, pH ≈ 5.8, EC ≈ 1.4.
Beide Pflanzen nehmen konstant Wasser auf und zeigen keinerlei Mangel- oder Stresssymptome.
Klimabedingungen:
🌡️ Temperatur 25–26 °C
💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit 60 %
💨 Ständige Luftbewegung für starke Stängel
Das ScroG-Gerüst ist nun vollständig installiert, die Triebe werden täglich nachjustiert.
Die Fläche ist zu rund 80 % gefüllt – in Kürze erfolgt der Wechsel in die Blütephase.
Beide Pflanzen zeigen maximales Potenzial:
• 24K Gold: explosiver, aufrechter Wuchs – perfekt für Stretch.
• Gelato 33: kompakt, dicht, extrem gleichmäßig im Aufbau.
Ein idealer Abschluss der Veg-Phase – das Training hat seine Wirkung voll entfaltet.

Strong baby!
Lady Jealousy was in the vegetative phase for 7 weeks and is now in her 4th week of flowering - wow, that's really remarkable!
No automatic before, was like her.
She has an irrepressible will to live and is tremendously motivated to deliver!
Sour Jealousy means a lot of passion and diligence, but also assured quality and reliability.
Let's look forward with excitement.
PK is on the way…
Take care & bee 🐝 positive!

Quick foreword:
I hate how Growdiaries does Harvest and Smoke separately and then messes up all the pictures. Please bear with me, I tried to label them all.
Wowsers, what a trip this contest grow turned out to be! I am so sorry to submit it one day before the deadline, life got in the way, but the good news is this lovely plant has had a chance to fully cure and she’s been helping me through big changes in my life.
Dry weights will be in the Smoke report. I have only input the mother’s dry weight as the total end dry weight. This is because this is a competition diary and the rule is one plant. Consider the clones a successful experiment. They are only here to document how hardy this plant is and how easy she is to clone. Remember, one of the clones was the top of the plant I cut off when topping her before flipping. I usually can never get those to root, but this plant clones very easily!
As always, the main plant was dried in a cardboard wardrobe box, modified to have a 5v USB fan extracting air at the bottom. This helps prevent mold but keeps moisture in for a slower dry, which leaves some more terpenes.
Drying took around two weeks. Trimming was a pain. I love the smell of this plant, but her lowers are so leafy. If you go back to around the weeks where I flipped, you can clearly see I left too many lower nodes and as a result I had too much of a bush.
The Micro DWC experiment ended up surprising me the most. Check out the smoke review for its weight and taste!
some people also asked me how far I keep my lights, I don't measure the distance, sorry. I use Photone on iOS and push the ppfd of my plants up to 1000 during flower.
The Soil clones and the main competition plant were planted in organic soil from a local garden center mixed with organic fertalizer tablets and worm castings, the clones were in 1L and 3 gallon pots and the main competition plant was planted in a 5 gallon growbag.
once the plants ran out of food I fed Plagron's Alga line.
the DWC clone used just Plagron Hydro A+B and extra PK 13/14 in flower, this is by far the cheapest and most effective way in my experience, it could be due to lack of skill in organics, but you can clearly see, my DWC plant is frostier than my soil ones, and they're the exact same phenotype.
I'll probably be going back to hydroponics, I'm not saying organic isn't the way to go, but for me personally, my skillset and way of growing better fits the artificial nutrients, and as a result my DWC plants flourish.
I feel more in control with DWC, I know exactly what's going on in my buckets, whereas with organics I'm often scratching my head in frustration.
