-----WEEK SUMMARY-----
(Following text was translated with tools and reviewed, sorry for mistakes, misspellings or nosense things)
As you can see I've done a defoliation this week. Yes, I have really gone over the top, I have removed many more leaves than I had, and the tails of the plants has not come to join at all due to the failed defoliation.
Being the first defoliation I do, I did not really know what I was doing and I went crazy. Now that it has been several weeks since I made this defoliation, I realize that I should not have removed the leaves from the nodes of the tails, because they have stopped growing and have not joined with their superior parts. Anyway, the plants are beautiful today and although they could be much better I feel very happy with them.
I know I've made 2 fatal mistakes in this grow
- The first has been the massive defoliation badly done, defoliation yes, but with head ... do not follow my example.
- The second failure that I see today, is that I did not leave enough growth time (18/6) after having made the last pruning and that has made the tails have been a length much less than what would have been desired, I think that 2 more weeks of growth would have been perfect.

-----SUMARIO SEMANAL-----
Como podéis ver esta semana he hecho una defoliación. Si, efectivamente me he pasado de listo, he quitado muchas más hojas de las que debía y las colas de las plantas no ha llegado a unirse del todo debido a la fallida defoliación.
Al ser la primera defoliación que realizo, no sabía muy bien que hacía y me lancé a lo loco. Ahora que han pasado varias semanas desde que realicé esta defoliación, me doy cuenta de que no debí de haber quitado las hojas de los nodos de las colas, pues estos han dejado de crecer y no se han unido con sus partes superioras. De todas maneras, las plantas están preciosas a día de hoy y aunque podrían estar mucho mejor me doy con un canto en los dientes.
Se que he cometido 2 errores gordos en este cultivo
- El primero ha sido la defoliación masiva mal realizada, defoliación si, pero con cabeza.... no sigáis mi ejemplo.
- El segundo fallo que yo veo a día de hoy, es que no dejé suficiente tiempo de crecimiento (18/6) después de haber realizado las últimas podas y eso ha hecho que las colas hayan quedado de una longitud muy inferior a la que hubiera deseado, creo que 2 semanas más de crecimiento hubiera sido perfecto.
-----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO-----
20/04/19 - 1.250 ml con Sensizym, Silica, Rhino Sk, Bud Ignitor, Big Bud, Bud Candy y Bud Factor-x @ PH6.4 & 1,2 E.C.
23/04/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales - (Silica, Sensizym y Bud Ignitor) @ PH6,5 & 1,5 E.C.

Four of five plants will ba harvested right after taking those photos.
Strawberry Cough will stay longer - as long as I can keep her alive - she already lost most of leaves but she is far from being ready.
She now have whole tent for herself 😂 I need to give her another ScrOG net - she is starting to bulk and already colas are too big to stay vertical by themselves.
Thank you 👉 TrolMaster 👈 for providing the Tent-X controller. It was awesome!

The autos stems are really thickening up this week and have started to really expand the leaf size. probably good to note that 3 of the dosi-do autos are as wide as the 5 gallon fabric pots now and only on the 3rd set of leaf's. the Goat'lato has the most impressive starter leaf ive seen in a while also just being so wide and ridged.
I added a 1500 watt ceramic heater to the grow room since temps are decreasing every night here in the pnw. the plants have seemed to really respond well and started drinking faster.
on 10/30 i gave them a small dose of fish & kelp ph'ed to 6.0
I am adding a picture of the soil recipe i am using for these autos as i would like to openly share any knowledge i'm able to. feel free to use it as is or tweak it any way you see fit. so far its been an amazing start but only time will tell how it does throughout flower. i do plan on top dressing with gaia green bloom feed around week 2 of flower also.
dates range 10/24 - 10/31

The Queen is definitly in good shape, and look stronger days after days... The leaves have a better color, not that lime green anymore, thanks to the rempoting in a 30L pot with fresh All-mix from Biobizz :)
There is a HUGE amount of bud sites, this is incredible. I'm trying to defoliate,, but I'm to the point buds making shadow to other buds... So I'm doing my best, removing what can be removed.
Lot of leaves showing trichomes, even big ones, It's also verry impressive... I will definitly be abble to make some hash out of the trim.
I never did that before, so that's a new process I need to learn. I will probably set the trim to the freezer and see this later.
I'm providing only 50% of recommended dose of Bio-grow and bio-bloom for now. I'll increase the dose slowly with next feedings.
Day 98 : Saw a dammmmn thrips. Only one, but the plant is so big that it's definitly impossible to check everywhere. I really wonder how he can survive in this trichome amazonia 😅
I applied Bio-bizz leaf coat on the plant, I hope this will keep thrips under control. But at this stage, there is nothing I can really do.
But the plant is strong, I'm sure she's going to win this fight ^^

Targona: 29 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱
Fourth week of growth of my OG Eddy Lepp Auto 💚🌺💚🌺
Nutrients:
I use nutrients from Advanced Hydroponics Of Holland - three basic components, still according to the table for growth during the flowering period 💓 -
- Dutch fertilizer Formula 1 Grow - supplies the plant with substances necessary for the perfect development of roots, stem and leaves; intended for the growth phase 🌾
- Dutch fertilizer Formula 2 Bloom - contains a large amount of nutrients necessary for rapid growth and fruit development, supplies the plant with energy; intended for the flowering phase 🌸🌿
- Dutch fertilizer Formula 3 Micro - increases oxygen intake, improves plant immunity, ensures better absorption of nutrients; intended for the growth and flowering phase 🌴
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plagron Power Roots - Root Stimulator Plagron Roots is a biological root stimulator that supports the formation of the root system. I use it until the fifth week of growth 🍃🍃 - I fertilize for the last time in the fifth week of plant growth.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
BioBizz Calmag - The special Calmag supplement was designed for professional and hobby growers who need to supply their plants with calcium and magnesium in organic quality for a long time or immediately. The 100% organic 💩💩 and certified BioBizz Calmag product is made of calcium carbonate and magnesium sulfate supplemented with humic acid.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
BioBizz Bio pH - is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which occurs naturally in citrus fruits 🍋🍋
------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
During the flowering period, I add Advanced Nutrients stimulants:
- JUNGLE X Environ is a highly effective complex preparation for stimulating flower formation. 🌸🏵️
- Bud Candy - carbohydrates for my girls 🍭🍭🍭
⚡⚡⚡However - from the next watering I will fundamentally change the nutrients to organic with small exceptions. I will make this change carefully, so that the girls feel good, have the nutrients they need and at the same time not give them so much synthetics ⚡⚡⚡
General:
OG Eddy Lepp Auto 💚🌺💚🌺 - The girl is growing beautifully and responds well to nutrients. In the last week she switched to the flowering phase and therefore grew tall, even though it is a hybrid.🌿💚
Training:
Classic, I continuously perform defoliation and small LST - I tie up the branches that grow towards the pot just like the others so that they do not shade each other's buds. In addition, I gently pulled the large leaves closer to the stem so that I don't have to cut them 💚🌞🌞
Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50 cm between the light and the plants, so I regularly move it up 💡💡💡
Thanks for the likes :)
See you soon 😍😍

Week 8, 26 September - 2 October 2025
26- Sept - 2 Oct - Observed and let the plant grow.
1 Oct - Removed damaged/dieing leaves.
This was the first significant removal of leaves from this plant. Only those that were damaged or dieing were cut. A plant this small needs as much canopy as it can get. You have to be careful not to remove too many leaves when the plant is in flower.
- 2 Oct changed nutrient solution
- 2 Oct updated feeding schedule
- Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0
- Adjusting PH to 6.1 daily using GH up/down
- Nutrient solution EC 2.1 at 72 degrees F
- Light power at 75%, DLI 45 canopy coverage at 18hrs
- Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH
That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

When I decided to start growing, I knew it was likely going to be hard, though interesting, work. What I didn’t expect was that it would be this much fun 😄 It’s been a pure pleasure watching their growth slow down while their calyx’s fatten, multiply and get frostier by the day. I lowered their nutrients because their leaf tips were showing signs of burn. Some leaves were also showing potassium deficiency, but I think that’s a result of their pH constantly jumping to 6.4 because they were under feeding most of last week.

she slowly begins to sweat and also develops her characteristic color.
i have not used any cropping or topping techniques, or defoliation, except that she will develop 2 head buds.
i still don't have any uV or iR light supplement, just using a sanlight led and senmatic fl300 grow with adjustable colorspectrum and adjustable poweroutput.
wondering. still in the same environment. all the pests have suddenly disappeared. i did not say any prayers.lol
my mouth is already watering.lol

7-16 This thing blows my mind. She smells like overripe pineapple. Frost coming in. Mad stacking. The leaves can be floppy but otherwise look healthy. It’s really hard to take a picture of how huge these colas are coming in. Never thought I could grow big buds like this with my low watt LEDs!
7-19 Fattening up and reeking more with some orange hairs coming in.

Things progressing, does defoliation really improve yield? I’m hearing conflicting arguments

(39 day VEG)(56 day flower)(107 day clone to harvest)
Co2@800 Made a huge difference
70klux is to high lighting. 60-65 was best
87f+ leaf temp is to high in flower - 80did well
Hot temps made the leaves ugly
Auto irrigation went wrong because the water pressure was not even on all 11 spouts.
Two box fans were not enough. It seems more wind make denser buds
The plants closer to the fans were denser
The Liquid humic acid i think made a small difference.
That “Grow More Liquid kelp” exploded growths during veg stage
The southern AG microbes did well to keep my roots healthy(once a week)
I should have topped the clones at the 3rd node so itd be easier to harvest
I lollipopped plants day 1 flower, day 21 flower, and start of week5.
I defoliated before flower, day 14 flower, wk7 flower, and 2 days before harvest
I want to defoliate the week before harvest and flush 5days before harvest
————————
Harvest
Wet Trimmed
First 3 days 55%RH then 52-60% for 17 days. Ill split branches to speed drying next time
Temp 68F
Indirect Fans
After Drying:
Homemade tumbler/trimmer
Pvc pipe inserted into a barrel made from chicken wire and bucket lids tacked together. Sits inside of a tote bucket. The tote bucket holds the trimmings and kief that falls from buds
Put into mason jars

A ver...oir mi voz ...ya algo es distinto. Después no son de plástico y como sabéis para que puedan ser así, esto es algo que a medias tanto le pones amor como ciencia y después para que estén así, hay que no solo entender un poco de esto y más, dejar que la fé en Dios Jah sea grande y mucho trabajo y gusto en lo que hay que hacer y tener.

24/03 watered AGAIN after 2 days with 1.5L 5.9 PH 1.5 EC, 5ml/L of Terra Bloom.
So far im really happy with plagron. Just one bottle for grow and one for bloom and the plants look healthy and show no signs of deficencies. really happy with the product. Moreso than biobizz, where i used Grow, bloom, calmag, activera and topmax and still fought deficencies here and there.
I also am conflicted about the trellis net. I like what it does but i think my tent is too full with plants or too small to really enjoy it growing-wise. I cant move the plants and its hard to reach them during watering. So i removed it again. its an on/off relationship with us :D
I also did some more defoliation, PROMISE ITS THE LAST TIME. i took out the plants of the tent for it to better reach the insides of them and made some nice videos of their progress so far.
ALSO: Tent smells really good and overwhelming when i open it! sadly, it escapes pretty fast so ill put "normal" smell on here. but its decent!
Watered again on
27/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.8 PH 1.7 EC
29/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.7 PH 1.7 EC

Final da semana 2, planta com 15 dias desde seu nascimento em 6 de Agosto.
Aparentemente já poderia ter aumentado o feed para algo próximo de 1.5, coisa que farei ao longo dessa próxima semana
