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.

Day 28 folks. I fuckin tripped liked a dumbass and broke a bunch of branches off the frosted apricots in the 4x8, kept an eye on it and it popped out some nanners so I had to take it down. Hoping I got it out im time before it pollinated anything but not positive. It's always somethin. Broke a head nug off the platinum silk too but havnt found any dix on her so that one might be aight. The leaf strip with the trellis is just no Bueno. Might try a different method next run where u strip everything below the first node on day 7 of flower and then a quick pluck down the line so I dont have to do matrix shit thru the nets like Neo dodgin bullets. Go use my codes for some floraflex shit 🤙

The spread of the large plant almost takes up this whole tent. Definitely in the market for larger flower tent.

-🚿 Start "fast track" flushing in the bathroom, with the 2 plants in airpots (had the first signs of amber trichomes) + defoliation. ℹ️ After the first drainage the TDS was 1600ppm & 1800ppm (second lemon). - It took 30 min flushing and the final check (soil drainage) was at 600ppm & 700ppm. - The other 2 plants are few days behind, flushing at the end of the week. ⚠️ Update week end - 🚿 Flushed the other two plants at the last day of week. ℹ️ Firat drainage for the big lady at the simple pot was 1750ppm, after the flush went under 600ppm, the plant in fabric was 1800ppm and went under 700ppm. - Temps higher the last days (+30 C°) humidity 40% - 50%.

I only use a stimulant and cal mag. There will be no training for the entire period; this is not necessary in this grove. Growth is going quite well, they are even outpacing my babies who were planted earlier. The plant in the middle is a little behind. The lamp operates at 25%. Further more, success is inevitable.

Not bad not bad, by the looks of it she'll be a fatty but i just hope that she'll be ready at the same time as the others. What i want to know is how the bbc can predict when i want my harvest but can't predict when my fucking landlady will break in and faff about it my grow room, long story short 46 makes me 👺 anyways, boucing back from a scare nevermind mind her 46 is my focus lol oh my the things we do... enjoy ! 🚀 Induced resin production by dropping the lightschedule to 10/14 almost immediate effects were smelt, loud and clear : candy shop goodness ! this one is gonna be a sweet one ! 👊

So far this week has been Good but not Great . My blue dream plant didn’t make it.😢) So now i am going to focus on my other 2 ladies. This week is the official start of my <Vegetative stage> Now I will be dropping the lights to 14” and giving them both nutrients. Also I’m watering both plants with about 300-500ml of water for each. Strawberry banana plant 🌱 has been coming along but and Power plant 🌱 the growth has overall been amazing 🤩 . Follow me on my journey…. Let’s gooo!!!

Wow! Hard to believe these are autoflowers, I’ve never harvested a cola off an autoflower quite this robust. The hps lights in the 2nd grow room were maybe a bit much and all the plants handled it differently. The big beast is one that did very nicely under the hps lights. The smaller much more frostier dried bud is from the mars hydro ts1000 grow tent. Not nearly the yield or density but beautiful crystal covering the buds. Amazing colour from both the led grow dark devils and the hps ones.

Flipped to flowering this week. My dumbass accidentally said Sweet Seeds is from Venezuela - they are actually based in Spain! Their Tropicanna Poison F1 is a BEAST! Being part auto, it is clearly starting to outperform the others.

30 September 2020 Sunset Sherbet Plant is growing very strong and the bottom 3 cola branches are being stress trained to all edges of the pot, this helps - with all the branches being exposed to the light and to grow the same height as the rest of the canopy. The stem is of this plant is growing really thick 🍑 about 1cm thick Leaves are big and strong reaching ( 15,5cm length ) My experience with growing Sunset Sherbet so far ( Week 6 Day 2 ) This strain from Cape Ape Seeds is actually so good, just the plant itself is a bright lime green and the nugs it will carry is going to be Frosty Purple❄️💜 nugs. By growing this beautiful strain so far it has grown very healthy and just in general very fast, this plant has no problems so far and all it wants to do is continue growing. Do-Si-Wine The Do-Si-Wine is growing very well, a very moderate growth as it says in it’s subscription, but none the less still a very grow so far. The bottom 4 colas are all stress trained to the edges of the pot to ensure each branch from each cola gets to grow outwards in its own space and to get more light. The stem is about 0.7cm thick which is not that thick compared to the SunSet Sherbet. While writing this I noticed my she has SNAPPED from her previous stress straining session, I was checking out the stem thickness and noticed the main stem had snapped. But luckily this is not the first this happened and I know how to fix this. To fix this all you need is some tape, now see if the plant didn’t completely break off you can still tape the plant back together and the plant should heal itself within a few days, although I need to wait a bit before I stress train this one again. She started making pistols🤗, but I’m not sure if this is because of the snap or if it’s getting ready to start blooming. All the side branches from the bottom 4 colas are all nice and long growing at a nice rate. The leaves are nice and strong reaching ( 11cm in length ) My experience from growing Do-Si-Wine 🎶🍷 from Cape Ape Seed seed bank is very good so far, on the site it says moderate growth difficulty and it is quite accurate compared to the Sunset Sherbet’s easy growth difficulty, it’s quite fun working with a moderate growth because the plant needs more tending to, for instance the side branches are thinnish and need to be stress trained often to reach the end of the pot, the plant is also very stiff because she snapped without me realising and had to tend to the break a day later. Also while growing this plant I noticed that the plant’s leaves are very dark green and the bud it’s going carry is going to be white so I can’t wait to see how she makes her buds.

June 7 - We ordered some new lights last week, they are 240w kingbrite samsung lm310h with uv/ir, 3000k, and meanwell drivers. We setup the new room and moved the girls into there. After a bit of LST and a watering (with nutrients) at roughly 7ph, they were ready to go under the 2 new lights and the same SF-1000 we have been using in this grow. The new room is a 12 ft enclosed trailer. I moved everything from the small tent into this. I put clear poly on the walls, floor and ceiling. I put poly on the shelf I am going to be keeping in there as well. I bought 50ft of 6mm mylar and lined the floors, roof and sides with it. I plan to get some reflective tape to seal everything and to cover the wood. I did not get much of a chance to watch temp's today as they it was later in the evening after all was said and done. The inline fan blowing in air from outside. June 8 - 9 AM i checked the plants, they were at 25.2 and 50% RH. Late through the day I had checked and we had gotten up to around 32 degrees. So I moved the inline fan to the closer vent, hooked up to that, and had the air blowing out of the trailer with the inline fan sucking it from above the lights. I then added oscillating fan and had it blowing air on the left side of the room so it would somewhat circulate once I closed the doors. I then checked at about 9pm and we were at 22 degrees. Definitely noticed a decent amount of growth already. I have the lights on a 22/2 cycle as I was worried about the heat at night time. June 9 - Some great growth from the girls, still having problems controlling the temps in the afternoon. I decided to prop the door open a bit to have a constant breeze throughout the day while I am at work. Decided to do some more LST and also a bit of defoliation. I took about 25% of the leaf's that were blocking the new growth as it was getting a bit bunched up. I was then told the leaf's are almost solar panels for them. So from now on I will be trying to just do some tucking unless needed. The leaf's I removed were most of the damaged leaf's, I am not to sure if that makes much of a difference. I gave them a watering with only water as there is a potential I am getting a bit of a nutrient buildup along with the PH problem. Or potentially the reason for the ph problem is nutrient buildup. After watering with A PH of 7 I got some run off and tested it. The smaller plant gave me a PH of about 5.5 where the bigger one is around 5.0. June 10 - Plants are looking happy and showing tons of growth. Seems to be trying to stretch outwards. Not a ton of sign of PH issues showing so potentially getting it under control. Still a bit of damage to previous leaf's but it is what it is! The last few days I have been leaving the door open a bit in order to keep the temps down. I decided to test something and turn the lights off (automatically) at 11AM and back on at 5PM so light schedule has now changed to 18/6 and it seems I may have figured out the issue. We haven't had lots of sun the last couple days so it hasn't been to hard and I have yet to know if it truly fixed the heat issue for now. (I will be looking into a ac unit as well since it typically gets to around 30-35 around here. June 11 - Pulled some of the branches back down and added a few more LST spots. Seems we have a good amount of growth from the smaller plant out of the 2 topped spots. Unfortunately it looks like I fucked up on the bigger plant and only one of the nodes seems to have new growth. I will continue to monitor that but I think I cut the node to low and also to soon. Other then that, the girls are doing great. They seem to be absolutely loving these new lights. I gave them some nutrient water today as well. roughly 3L each. They seem to be A hell of A lot more thirsty under these new lights. June 12 - The girls are doing great , they are still just doing growing away. Lots of progress everyday. I am going to be getting a go-pro so I can set-up a time-lapse for the rest of this grow. I received my new inline fan, I got A ac infinity CLOUDLINE T4 with the temperature humidity controller. I am going to be having one fan pushing fresh air in and one fan pulling out the hot air. I will be doing that tomorrow since I have to work today. June 13 - I ordered another 50ft of mylar and that showed up today. I have decided to remove the shelf and add another 3+ feet to the grow space. So today I installed more poly, mylar, the ac infinity fan. I have it set-up to pump in air if it gets to warm. I am thinking of switching it to the output that way if it gets to hot or to humid I can have that air pulled out of the trailer. Right now my other inline fan is the outtake and I just have it set on full. Overall I think everything is set-up a bit better and more accessible. I will be putting my 2x2 tent in there at the left of the doors so I can have a veg room when these 2 are in flower. I plan to have 4 in veg and 4 in flower for the next grow. Still waiting on JOTI seeds, ordered 3 weeks ago and still have not been shipped. I will be getting those going the moment they arrive. The girls seem to be happy still, did a bit more LST to try to keep everything even, mainly I'm just pulling down on the spots I already have tie wire on.

Week 10 for Lemon OG by SSSC, Even though he started off really slow indoors she's actually seems happier outdoors... didn't show any heat stress even with these crazy temps. Maybe she will start taking off now she's happier? We'll see, would be great to remove her from my runt list😂 Going to train her a little bit more again as 1 of the tops is a little slower than the rest & seems to be getting left behind. So going to try pull them down all to the same height.
