1- getting nice and thick with a stronger smell. Watered with flowering chemicals. Tent at 24.6ยฐC and RH at 47% today Away for the weekend. Canโ€™t wait to see how she will look when I get back 5- Came back to fairly dry soil and somehow forgot to turn my dehumidifier back on after emptying it. So the RH was at 77% when I got back. I got everything back within the range I want it now. 24.5ยฐC and 46% RH. Watered plant with flowering nutrients. 7- Just amazed by how fast it grows. Seems like every time I look at it, it keeps getting thicker. I have some sort of fascination with the main cola. Just love taking pictures of it. I ordered a USB microscope that I should be getting today. Looking forward to see those trichomes magnified.

๐Ÿ“… Week 13 | Days 92โ€“98 ๐Ÿ“… ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒบ Flowering Phase ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒบ Day 98 ๐ŸŒž โ€“ Oreoz ๐Ÿ”ธ Oreoz is looking like an absolute showstopper this week. The buds are incredibly dense and completely frosted with thick, glistening trichomes โ€“ it almost looks like theyโ€™ve been dusted with snow. Resin production is off the charts, especially on the top colas. Trichomes: Mostly milky with some still clear โ€“ no ambers yet. She's not quite ready, but getting close. ๐Ÿ”ธ Climate control has improved. Humidity started the week at 63%, but with the dehumidifier now running and all clip fans at full power, it's being maintained steadily between 50โ€“60%. That little climate shift is definitely helping โ€“ the buds are chunking up without any signs of stress. The slight 2โ€“3ยฐC increase in tent temperature is worth it. ๐Ÿ”ธ Nutrients: 1 week of Overdrive (Advanced Nutrients) before the flush phase. Water intake has already slowed down noticeably โ€“ another good sign that the end is near. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Current Conditions ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐Ÿ”† = 27ยฐC ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐ŸŒœ = 20ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ VPD Target = 1.4 - 1.6 ๐Ÿ’จ Humidity = 63% โ†’ Target: below 60% ๐Ÿ”ฆ PPFD = 900 ยตmol (12/12) ๐Ÿ”ฆโŒš DLI = ~38 ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Setup (unchanged) ๐Ÿ’ก Lights: 2 x Sanlight Evo 4-120 @ 90% โ›บ Tent: 120 x 120 x 180 ๐Ÿฏ Pot Size: 18 liters ๐ŸŒฑ Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix ๐Ÿ’Š Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients ๐Ÿ’ง Water: Tap water (EC 0.5)

Week 7 of flower Day 47 Flower Day 72 from seed. ~Week Average~ Temp: 72-82f RH: 35-42% PH: 5.9-6.2 Notes: I gave them one feed of over drive during this week and then just water. I started to look at trichromes and noticed mostly cloudy some amber. So Iโ€™ve decided I will do one more feed with flawless finish in two days. Then I will flush until the ladies are to my liking. I am super happy with the trichrome production of the Walter white she sure does put on! The smell is lemony, citrusy, and creamy. Will update ASAP! Happy cultivating!๐Ÿค™๐Ÿฝ

Day 8. All good, girls are ok, just i strugle to keep moistering them properly, work takes too much time away .. Next watering will bring in BioBizz Root Juice. Happy growing ! Day 9. Slowly, but girls grow, watering tomorrow with first dose of Root Juice. Should start to kick in ;) Day 10. First nutes planted ;)) in next feed i will bring in couple more players, this time only 1ml/l Root Juice. Ph 6.5 Moisture moisture moisture ;) Day 13. So many things ... One gorilla went selftoping, dont know what to do ??? And i need reasons .. My quess is A. Wind damage, she was closiest to fan. B. Water spray too intense C. Light burn with spray combined I followed my ussual stuff, never had such mutation, had buds on leaves, had triple tops, had branches from leaves even, but they all had new grows, this one has only two leaves .. And this was the biggest bean and she looked fine till day 11, wanted even to show how bean size matters, but now all is gone, should i top her, or leave that natural mainlining ?? When i spray her, two top leaves fall down and lower nods new grow is exposed, so lst her like this ? Please help !!! Other 3 gorillas looks really ok, smallish, but ok. Cookies grow funky aswell, looks like two days behind gorillas. Thought to give them first nutes, but now i will wait a bit ... Started rotating girls every day.

Esta semana no he regado con fertilizantes, solo agua, esperando que lleguen los dias de corte. Los cogollos se estรกn tornando de un color violeta, en las fotos no se llega a apreciar.

Theyโ€™re on an 11/13 light schedule. Canโ€™t wait until they reach puberty!! Of note, my version of Silky style early topping Notice the single shoot node on what is the biggest one The clay pot proved to be no advantage. That plant is smaller than most.

April 26, 2024 Day 71 This week we focus on watering and nutrients. A secondary focus will be on a changing environment and light intensity changes. Both ladies had their reservoirs cleaned out and have fresh nutrients. It's also the start of late flower, so things will be changing with the nutrient dosage. I'll most likely keep the nutrients the same for this week, but I may start to drop the dosage a little for each watering until the flush period starts. So depending on how they look, I may change the dosage for this week's last watering. I'll be bringing it down 25%. So 8 ml goes down to 6 ml and 4 ml goes down to 3 ml. I'll change this for the next 2 weeks until it's just plain water for 2 waterings and then Flawless Finish. It should play out quite well. The lighting will also be changing a bit this week. I'll be dropping the DLI to 43 mol/mยฒ/d mid week and will then lower it to 40 mol/mยฒ/d beginning next week. I'll then drop it to 36 mol/mยฒ/d the week after and finally 32 mol/mยฒ/d for the final week. The environment will also be dropped from 77ยฐ to 75ยฐ during the day and from 68ยฐ to 65ยฐ at night. The humidity is solid at 47% and I think that's the best I can do for the rest of the grow. Both plants look great. They have tons of orange pistils and tons of trichomes. I'll be taking trichome pics every few days. One for each plant. I feel like it'll be a better comparison than daily pics. For the trichomes anyway. Anyway, they both still have time to swell their buds more. I'm not expecting big buds from these two. Medium sized maybe, but definitely not big. They just don't look like they will get that big. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2ยฐ RH: 47.7% VPD: 1.49 kPa April 27, 2024 Almost all of the pistils are orange now on both plants, but the buds are still swelling. Interesting. I'll be taking trichome pics today at some point. I was going to yesterday, but got distracted with video games. Whoops. There's tons of trichomes. They are definitely frosty and continuing to get frostier. Nothing much to do today. Each plant got an inspection and passed with flying colors. There were some loose tie downs as well. Mostly from the crowding in the tent. So those got removed. Tropicana Cookies is looking super good now with her buds being everywhere and them swelling up finally. She could stand to get a few leaves taken off, but I'd rather just leave it alone now. No sense in undue stress. Tropicana C also looks great. She has to be the biggest of the two. Not the tallest, but definitely the most girthy. Lots of buds and also starting to finally swell up. I'd also like to mention the colors coming from both plants where the buds are nearly done. Lots of purple hues. You can't really see them from the small sugar leaves and frost covering it. But it's there. The lighting as I said will stay the same for the first half of this week. Then I'll drop it. However, I may leave it to next week. We shall see. The environment is looking pretty good. The temp is a bit high currently at 77.8ยฐ. the humidity is still at 47%, but I managed to get it down to 44% for most of yesterday afternoon. The DLI is a bit high today at 1.66 kPa. Nothing a small adjustment won't fix. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5ยฐ RH: 45.7% VPD: 1.55 kPa April 28, 2024 Not a lot going on today. I'll be refilling the reservoirs later this afternoon. That's about it. I have a bit of a concern. Both ladies have really small buds, and I think they may have stopped swelling. I'm wondering if I have nutrient lockout or something. They are showing signs of stress. So I've already started dropping the nutrients down by cutting Overdrive in half as it seemed to have been the original cause of the nutrient burn. And the next watering will have all nutrients cut in half. Next week I'll drop it to 25% and leave it til flush, which may be next week anyway. We shall see. Other than that, both plants are covered in trichomes. They smell wonderful as well. Like orange and some other light citrus and gas. Smells super good as well as sweet. There is also a hint of cookies. The DLI will be dropped to 40 mol/mยฒ/d tomorrow. I'm assuming it will only be a 10% drop on power, so I shouldn't lose much penetration. The environment is off today. It's warm and super humid with bouts of rain. So naturally, the tent environment is all wonky. The temp is at 75.5ยฐ with the humidity way up at 60%. I turned the AC on and now it's just a matter of tweaking and waiting. I may have to crank it and sacrifice some temp for lower humidity. It should be fine that way, but the humidity is definitely too high. Update: I ended up adding about a half gallon of plain water to both reservoirs. Just Incase I have nutrient lockout or something. They should go through that by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe late evening. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6ยฐ RH: 52.8% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 29, 2024 No watering today. The plants are both still going through the half gallon of plain water from yesterday. Let's hope it clears up the nutrient burn. They look great with their trichome coverage. The only thing I'm pretty disappointed about is the size of the buds for both plants. I wonder what I did wrong. I'm guessing the introduction to Overdrive was about 2 weeks too early. Removing the Big Bud was also a major mistake I think. It should have stayed in the mix for 2 more weeks. Lesson learned, make adjustments to any feeding schedule to match the plants growth stage. Maybe I'll ask that question. The lighting was changed today. I dropped the power level down to 70% to get a DLI of 40 mol/mยฒ/d. It's not perfect as the plants do not have level canopies, so some of the spots go all the way up to 45 mol/mยฒ/d still. It's not a bad thing I think. The DLI was a bit high for those tops anyway. The environment is still wonky. The temp is fine at 76ยฐ to 77ยฐ. A bit high from what I want, but not out of range. I'd still like it down to 75ยฐ or 74ยฐ. The humidity is what's out of whack at 60% and it doesn't seem to want to drop. I have a heater on to clear out the room humidity and a dehumidifier in the tent working it's hardest. Which isn't very hard. I believe the fans are going on it. It may be time for another one. Something the same size but more powerful. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2ยฐ RH: 59.8% VPD: 1.15 kPa April 30, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got their full gallon of nutrients. I'm going to cut it when it drains down some with plain water. Both plants look good even though they have small buds. They are everywhere and seem pretty dense. So it's just a matter of time. Maybe another 2 weeks. Maybe less. Hopefully less. The nutrient burn was an issue, but now I think it's good. I dropped the Overdrive significantly, but I think I can plainly say, I have ruined my yield for these two plants. Lesson learned. Plain water at the first signs of stress. The scent is super strong now and smells like oranges and candy. Or something like that. All I know is that it smells great. The lighting is pretty good. No reaching yet, so it's definitely not too low. I may just leave it here for the rest of the grow. I read that lights don't need to be dimmed for autoflowers. It could be right. I've never dimmed the lights before. We shall see I guess. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being high still at 57%. I can control the temp pretty easily, but the humidity will not budge. I'll keep trying. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5ยฐ RH: 57.0% VPD: 1.26 kPa May 1, 2024 Nothing to do today with these two. No watering needed, no light changes, nothing. I pulled them out, tooky pictures and checked them over. No issues pest or fungus or anything. The only issue I have is the nutrient burn. Some of the leaves are getting yellow spots on them and frankly I have no idea what to do here. Keep the nutrients the same? Cut the nutrients down some over the next week or 2? Go with plain water? Not too sure. I still see many stresses. And I think that is the cause of my tiny buds. It seems that I did take the Big Bud out too early and added the Overdrive way too soon. Oops. Lesson learned with this run. I don't think it's a matter of an over abundance of nutrients, but the wrong ones at the wrong time when the plants weren't ready for it. I'm guessing that's what has happened here. Both ladies smell fantastic. Super sweet and strong. Crisp, and not pungent. Refreshing even. Tropicana Cookies has some pretty hard buds and lots of them. Of course, larger buds are preferred, but as long as these come out fire, I'll be happy. Her branches also seem to be holding up nicely. Tropicana C on the other hand has weaker branches and the tallest top is starting to lean pretty heavily. A great sign for bud density. Both plants have phenomenal trichome production. It's getting better everyday. Tons of clear with a mix of cloudy and amber, definitely not ready yet, but soon I think. Very soon. Maybe another week and a half? Maybe 2. As I said before, I didn't change the lighting at all. It's current DLI is 40 mol/mยฒ/d through most of the central canopy. The outside of the canopy is roughly 38 mol/mยฒ/d. So it's all good now. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being at 59%. It's maddening. The room is 49% and the temp is fine at 75ยฐ. I'll sacrifice up to 77ยฐ if I can get the humidity around 50%. Not ideal for this stage in life, but it will have to do of I can even get it there. I do have a large dehumidifier, but it doesn't work right. When the compressor shuts off, it blows are that humid air right back into the room. I need a new one. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2ยฐ RH: 56.1% VPD: 1.27 kPa May 2, 2024 Not a lot going on today. No watering, no trimming, nothing. I did change the light last night to 80% power. Tropicana Cookies looks great! She has purple coming out all over her buds. No fade yet though. I can assume that will be coming through in the next week or so. Her tops buds are getting slightly fatter and heavier than before. I hope it will continue to do so over the next 2 weeks. Tropicana C is slightly behind. She doesn't have nearly as many orange pistils and the purple is just starting to come through. However, she has tons of trichomes covering everything top to bottom. Her buds are about the same size as her sister, so they may end up swelling bigger than Tropicana Cookies when all is said and done. We shall see. As I said earlier in today's post, I changed the light power from 70% back up to 80%. I think I dropped it too early and need to adjust it accordingly. I'll drop it again in a week or so. Maybe less. Now the DLI is at 43 mol/mยฒ/d inside and 40 mol/mยฒ/d on the outside. The environment is still off, but not as much. The humidity continues to be high, but only at 55% verses the 60% it's been stuck at for the last few days. The temp is fine at 74.5ยฐ, but I think I can increase that a bit and hopefully drop the humidity down in turn. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7ยฐ RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa

Upgrading to a r/o system in 2 weeks. Did the jugs this week,โ€ฆlast time. Basic reservoir change this week. Phโ€™d to 6 and ppmโ€™s are around 750-800. Love the growth and shape of lemon haze auto. Just snapped the stem of gsc auto today trying to tie it down. Stem was thick as can be but so wet and new, snapped right in half. Fml. Just praying the way I propped it back together holds and maybe the side branching will take off and blah blah blah. Just sucks. Happy as can be with the progress. On a 4 week offset on 8 plants, 4 rotated at a time if I keep this up. What Iโ€™m hoping for at least. Self sufficient and supplying tent. Update Tuesday morning. The poor gsc auto that I broke in half grew back together literally overnight. Have seen that with branches but never the main stem and never that fast.

Hey guys! Another update! The flowers are growing big and strong, the smell is stronger too. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ This week I also decided to add the Phosphorus and Potassium supplements to the plants... but I'm trying to do it slowly, I don't want to stress my plants thanks to the nutrients so I'll add little of each and see how things develop! Some small trichomes are also starting to develop, which looks quite beautiful. Besides that not much happened so I'm glad. I also missed some waterings (no surprise, more can be seen in the timelapse) but once again the girls recovered rather fast! Damn you heeeat! ๐Ÿ˜… Anyway, see you all in my next update! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Harvest day 67 since time switch to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) Finally it's time ๐Ÿ’š The lady is done the large leaves have been removed and hung upside down to dry in the dark drying room. You can now stay there for 13-15 days at a temperature of 18-20 degrees and 55-62% humidity. After 13-15 days it is neatly trimmed by hand and placed in jars with boveda packs 62. After 4 weeks Boveda 58% come in and are ready for testing ;-). After everything has been cut cleanly, the last update comes with the smoke report and the finished pictures.

Day 49 - I used the Fox Farms trio of nutes last week and the results are fantastic. The plants look healthy for the first time. Day 52 - Another watering with the Fox Farms trio. Buds are fattening nicely.
