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 !

This time it was this girl's turn with a great smell. A very good strain, easy to grow, fast, and without many demands. Besides the controlled environment, it has a sweet citrus scent that makes you want to eat it instead of smoke it, lol. The buds were a good size, very resinous, and sticky. I really liked the result and intend to grow it again โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ

Mar 10th Week 13 CDP # 2 is doing awesome Some LST required and possibly some more defoliation this week CDP # 1 is picking up a little bit from last week but still far behind itโ€™s sister plant Mar 13th Fresh nutrients today More defoliation CDP # 1 is still lagging behind CDP # 2 is healthy happy filling out nicely It is the biggest plant in the tent Mar 14th Defoliated CDP # 2 big time. Took me an hour or so. This is an experiment with defoliation for me. I want to see if this will help provide the stimulus to produce buds instead of leaves. All in an attempt to get the biggest nuggets I can.

May 16th - Day 86 - All good here, as you can see the babies are prospering. I'm quite confused tho when looking to other diaries and seeing that I'm like three or four weeks behind.. Might be because of my irrigation system but still doing good.

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grows First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of โ€‹โ€‹3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this CBD Fast Eddy plant from Royal queen seeds will turn out. CBD Fast Eddy Automatic is combining Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis, Fast Eddy is a rapid growing, flavourful, and CBD-rich auto strain that goes from seed to harvest in 8-9 weeks, produce generous yields, and induce a clear, mellow, and most importantly, functional high. THC: 9% CBD: High Yield Indoor : 400 - 450 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 80 - 130 gr/plant Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 80 - 120 cm Flowering: 6 - 7 weeks Harvest month: 8-9 weeks after sprouting Genetic Background: Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis Type: Sa 50% In 40% Ru 10% Effect: Clear, Painrelief Climate: Mild ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-18. Week 4 starts and she is in flower. She is 36 cm high and looking really healthy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-19. 2 new fans is installed in the grow room. Added pic and video. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-20. Kl 10.00. New video. The girl is 38 cm high and doing great. Kl 23.00. Did some massive defoliation, added video and pics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-22. The girl have recovered well after my massive defoliation. She is 39 cm high now and have received 2 liters of water and nutrition today.

Wow this week has been crazy, I think the LST I did on plant 4 really helped spread it out... I'm at a loss as to how to treat plant 1, 2, and 3. 3 is still kickin, she little but she's growin buds! Some Log entries... 1/28: Fed with week 7 noots, trimmed a few dead leaves and did some LST on #4 tryin to get all buds on same program. 1/31: Watered with sledgehammer flush later on at night.

Hi everyone this last few weeks have been crazy as you all can see this Gelato turned out to be a Photoperiodic plant. Week 17 in to flower for 2 weeks now. All was going well but I did not have much time to look after it. And got some light burn in the early stages did some training techniques and She looks is recovering now. Some nice pictures how big one of those can get when I wasn't expecting this plant to be a Photoperiodic. But let's see she turned out a female so that's great will be a nice surprise probably. Happy Growing and have a lovely week.

I'm done with autoflower cultivar! That and trying to grow outdoor specimens indoors, no bueno. In this micro-grow area of mine will be from now on, limited to two plants and I will be much more selective of what plants to grow out! I've had a few autos turn out but with this grow getting so out-of-control, autos being photos, etc. It would just be easier for me as an individual limit the type of growing I'm doing to just breeding; one male, one female but with this bagseed male...we will see what the offspring are like at a later time but for now I'm trying to force this male to flower. Alot of growth from the purple haze auto, so much so it has crowded out both Lemon Haze autos and I can't even see one but can smell it!! Once I get to 12/12, growth should be completely focused on buds but for now I'm allowing all plants time to transition @14 hrs and EOD Emerson effect treatments. More soon. Also, something is off with my camera's contrast, everything in my room from my perspective is very green, light/lime yes but it appears yellow in my photos. I suppose I could go a bit higher in soluble N, an and Iron when I feed but as of today, Blood meal is making it's way to the top of my favorite amendments...quick! I've gone a tad bit more rich with feedings on the N side for the Purple Haze auto as it is not auto and kind of let the Lemon Autos finish, hopefully my 2 in 1 lemon isn't soaking up all the N in its last couple weeks...smoke might be zingy/zesty! Anyways, I've basically let the two lemon autos go and have focused on Purple Haze. Can't wait until flower!

8/21/2024 Added two fresh gallons with week 4 nutrients to bring the reservoir up to 750ppm. Will plan to do a more substantial water change in the next few days. Both plants are booming! Added the trellis netting to begin training the plants to fill the tent! This week should be interesting. 8/24/2024 Both plants are looking good up to this point. Have continued to add fresh nutrient water as they are drinking much more now. I have a second trellis net on hand as I believe it will be required for an aditional layer of support as they stretch into pre-flower. Looking like a 4.5 or 5 week veg before flipping. 8/25/2024 Noticed Plant B water level was only a few inches in the bottom of the bucket. Had a pump flow rate issue with most of the feed from the reservoir diverting to the closer bucket. Working to rectify the issue, but Plant B is definitely stunted, unfortunately. 8/27/2024 The water level issue was remedied by putting a separate pump and feed line in place for each plant. Continuing to defoliate as I prepare to take clones. I will likely run this week of veg a few extra days to allow Plant B to recover a bit from the water issues. Additionally, after taking clones I will give 1-2 days of recovery for the plants before switching to 12-12 and starting pre-flower! 8/29/2024 Raised the lights to drop DLI to about 30. Continuing to monitor water level issues. 8/30/2024 Did a final pruning on both plants before flipping to flower tomorrow. Started topping reservoir with bloom nutrient blend. Shortened light cycle by 2 hours to not shock the plants into flower. Added a second layer of trellis netting. Plant A (larger of the two) is absolutely thriving, plant B (smaller of the two) is bouncing back from the water level issues earlier this week! Both plants are looking ready for flower.

Week 6-Day 42 โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’จ Ladies have been coasting along, havenโ€™t had to do much other than water every 3rd day. Iโ€™ve decreased most of N ratio, there is still some in the Cal Mag and Big Bud, and upped the P and K along with the Big Bud. PH has been bang on, Iโ€™ve been varying the PH at feeds, and testing the runoff and slurry mix, been a very healthy 6.1-6.4 on the higher end ! Things are getting thicker and hairier in the garden, and with slightly higher RH this week, Iโ€™ve been giving them a lot of air flow, seems like the frost on all of them have kicked it up a notch! Theyโ€™ve got some incredible terps coming off them, I clearly need a secondary carbon filter when growing these types of potent strains, cause my whole house stinks! It seems that whenever the fan is not running, the wafts of skunk and pine are escaping ๐Ÿคค it will be another 2-3 weeks, but Iโ€™m getting excited ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿ’ฅ Happy Growing ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Š

Week 8 of flower Well this plant is really filling out. I definitely roasted the edges of the her fan leaves but she is still chugging along nicely. She should start to ripen up in the next couple of weeks. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

Very nice genetic. I'll do same Jack H from Fastbuds for sure again. Plant was very strong and ready for training. I still did not smoked it, will replay later about the taste and power.
