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 !

Recovery ,recovery, recovery. Drowned them with nuts @1400 ppm. Hot for a hot soil mix. Soil mix was missing something different that 3 of the strains were needing.
I dropped the bomb on them, defoliated the hell out of them and lst . Dark Devil no lst.
Let the nutrients set 2 days and flushed with RO testing run off and ph. The plants that weren't showing to much signs of nutrient burn flushed with sledge hammer back to around 1200 ppm 6.5 ph. Plants with burn flushed back to 600 ppm wattered with dechlorinated tap at 7.0 ph.
Finally the seeds man white widow and the gg#4 started into flower.
The kera white widow
and the critcle purp are loving the environment and nutes.
May have to flush the Dark Devil a little more or full flush it. Still showing signs of nute burn.
Over all happy with the grow. I definitely know what each strain likes and what they dont.
I'm keeping a physical journal on each for future grows.
Lessons learned:
For a first indoor grow and a first auto grow, it would have been easier to select hybrids that were close in their sativa/indica ratio.
Sativas are sensitive temperamental little girls.
Get a dehumidifier so the room or tent can be contained with less co2 loss for summer.
Ventless blue flame wall heaters work great in the winter for heating the room and creating plenty of co2.
Running a test grow with 6 plants when your home only 40 hours then gone for 3 days is fun insanity.

Here we are at the start of week 2 for this Super Lemon Haze from Green House Seed Company Ltd.
So after a perfect first week with rapid growth, good colour, no obvious malformations or deficiencies... I have begun to notice the very beginnings of what I suspect is interveinal chlorosis on the new growth. This would be consistent with the two older grows currently in progress. So I shall be applying a new seaweed extract fortified with iron both into the feed and as a foliar spray when it arrives. Still the growth rate has continued so far.
I have moved the plant out of the makeshift humidity box it was in and it is now sitting on top of the pot it will be transplanted into. That will happen when a good number of roots are visible from the bottom of the pot.
Lastly, I have started to leave the door half open as this drops the temperature by a few degrees, with the lights lowered and the tent closed it pushes 30 degrees celsius, with it half open it ranges between 25 and 26. am able to keep the humidity around 50% on average, but this ranges from around 60-65% right after watering, down to 45% within about two hours. It seems to settle between 40 and 45% whether the tent is open or closed. I am therefore periodically misting the coco surface and plants throughout the day. They never go unchecked for more than four hours during lights on, rarely more than two hours in practice as whenever I go past the tent I can't help but take a peek.
Day 9 (W2, D2): I have dropped the PH from 6.3 to 5.8 on advice from @GrowingGrannie in grow question.
Day 10 (W2, D3): Firstly, look at the different in colour in just 24h - I believe the combination of lowering the PH and adding Acti-Vera has made an impact in the iron deficiency. Today I have added seaweed extract with iron. This Super Lemon Haze at ten days is way ahead in terms of growth rate and size compared to all my previous grows. Overall it is about the same size at this point as the Big Bang Auto that is 12 days ahead of it. It is currently pushing out node three.
Day 11 (W2, D4): The colour has further darkened and growth continues to accelerate. So far so good! I have transplanted to next pot 2l. I also flushed with PH balanced water and then fertigated. This is a test of the flush I intend on the other plants.
Day 12 (W2, D6): Leaves beginning to straighten out.
Day 14 (W2, D7): Height: 7cm Width: 9cm Nodes: 4
Weekly growth data:
From 5cm Height to 7cm +40%
From 6cm Width to 9cm +50%
From 2 primary nodes to 4 +100%
Week Summary: I think this is about as close to a perfect start as any plant I've ever grown. I am extremely happy with Citronella thus far and excited to see if between us we can keep up her developmental pace.

New leaves still discolored but growing apparently correctly. Possible reasons:
- genetics (?)
- heavy fertilized soil - Batmix from Plagron was used (?)

Day 83 flowering: Wow was that some ride with this huge lady ?.
What seems like a never ending flowering cycle has hit its peak now and I want to pull her before the stress has her create foxtails on top of these odd structured flowers. Shebhas been fun to watch but at the same time frustrating. Seeing how she bounced back from the defol and clear out pre flowering and how she stretch to this size so quickly, had me convinced I would have a cola monster come harvest time. I dont doubt her yield will be worth the time and effort. Her colours are very attractive close up and the berry like structure is unique to any 8nhave grown before. She stinks to high heaven of Lemon and cat pee. lol hope the taste is more refined.lol I will update more pics as we get towards a harvest in about 10 days time. be safe and well growmies..
UPDATE ### So she is finally finished , I don't want to push her beyond her limit. She smells so strong now and should be a nice potential
finish.Hopefully about 7-10 days low and slow drying will finishbjer perfectly. Fingers crossed ...

Started adding molasses
to the feeding solution on day 56, 26d into flowering light cycle. The plant that I LST is LOADED with colas. The one I left to grow naturally doesn’t have nearly as many colas. I’ll be using LST in the future for all
of my grows just based on this side by side comparison. The Earthboxes are doing really well. These girls haven’t really had any issues.

So okay, this is the start of week 2 of plants life, as i stated in the previous week I bought a chiller with a compressor because the one that i bought previously did not work, so far had to change the bulkheads because of leaks and it seems that leaking just ended, so today i finally put some fresh water into the system and things look great. pH was 5.85, ppm 49, no juice is added yet, I'm suporting the humidity witha humidity dome over them and PPFD is 250-ish, can't adjust much, the lights i've got dont have a dimmer box , because of the lack of that some of the initial leaves did burn but eveythings nice so far.
Will continue to update as I go, but for my first hydro I'm exhausted, learned a lot and wil continue to do so.
Also!!!!, if someone comes by can anyone tell me WHY on earth one of my bucket fills more than the others??, i have 3 25w pumps, saame pumps distributing water and one of them is ALWAYS fuller than the others, ahd to adjust the knob that the pump has to level them out, and even after taht is not perfect.

Week 11 - Day 1 : Pinched branches from subject 1 and 2. As seen in the videos uploaded.
Week 11 - Day 2 : Changed water schedule to water-water-feed, watering my plants with 4 Liters per plant every 3th day. Pinched branches recovered successfully.
Week 11 - Day 3 : Pinched lower branches of subject 1, take a good look and tell me what you think!
Week 11 - Day 4 : Pinches branches of subjects 2 and 3, take a good look and tell me what you think!
Week 11 - Day 5 : Pinches branches of subject 1, take a good look and tell me what you think, had my first harvest of ladybugs in the garden and released them on my plants, noticed that I have very little spider mites on my plants. Posted week 1 to 9 on my diary.
Week 11 - Day 6 : Woke up to subject 5 being damaged, What could have caused this? Too heavy branches? Maybe an animal that accidentally broke the branch and took off.
Week 11 - Day 7 : Pinches branches of subject 3, take a good look and tell me what you think!

Foram regadas no dia 11/07/2021, 3 plantas com um total de 5L . E.C 0,43.
A R.Gorilla 2 foi regada com 1,5L e foi a primeira vez que foi alimentada. E.C 0,16 / pH 6.2
R.Juice - 2ml ; Bio Heaven - 1ml ; Activera - 0,5ml ; calmag - 0,2 ml ;
Ansioso para ver os resultados do LST, na royal gorilla 2 ( a mais pequena ) irei fazer o lst mais cedo e tentar não dobrar tanto o caule junto ao solo para ver as diferenças.
Será que fiz bem?

Finally those will become mother plants as well since some friends asked me for clones so i will keep up the diaries but i won't switch these ones into flowering yet.
I'm planning to start my clones at the end of this month. I will be doing a main-lining with 15x15 rock wool and FloraFlex stuff 😎
