Freak of the Nature, the biggest autoflower in my life

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

17.10. - Fourth week of veg is here and I am continuing with LST to expose lower branches to light. I will be trying to keep them all in same height as main cola. Watering: Added one more ml/l of Bio Grow 19.10. - Continuing with LST. New branches are exposed to the light and they shoot up pretty fast. I will try to even their height with main cola, so I can let them grow peacefully. Watered. 21.10. - I have installed a humidifier and set it to 55%. Seems like plants really like it because the got really nice color. Watered. 23.10. - Today I've noticed that one of the plants blew up and I need to change the LST approach to ties instead of wires because the plants are pulling them from soil. The biggest plant looks sad because I took the photos just after watering. Watering: added one more ml/l of Bio Grow 17.10. - 23.10.2023

Missed a day of watering but still looking like they are building proper buds first indoor grow I'd say is going good so far should be starting to flush my mid week on the black domina x Scott's og supposed to be a 7-9 week flowering time but not positive on when to start flush with Coco coir. Remo claims 7 days so I guess we shall see how it looks beginning of week 8.

Poco a poco la maduración se va viendo en el engorde de las flores, ha dejado de producir nuevos pistilos y ahora esta empezando a madurar lentamente...

Poly Harvest 622g lost about 3g to bud rot as one bud was about to go south due to all the wet assed weather lately. good thing we got her today. Easy trim Wow did winter ever get here fast. Snow this weekend so everything is chopped. Busy busy day Not sure how to amend the harvest to include Zona - 445 grams wet but do what I can She did well and in the end was healthier than Poly. Very slight point of bud rot (cold and wet) perhaps one gram affected. Will update dry weight as I may BTW the dog in the video is named Mater and he loves cannabis, he hangs around when I harvest and eats any leaves I discard. No hes a good dog leaves the plants themselves alone :) Zona 167 grams dry I am good with that on a plant almost cut down lost a few grams to bud rot nothing remarkable given the weather

07/09/2024 Week 7 Update!!! Yooo what's good gang update!!! What's good gang, we pushing into week 7 now and the girls are doing great, chugging along trying to get them to even out at the canopy level nutso let's see!! 07/11/2024 Yoo gang what's brackin!?!?👹 Soo they girls are coming along, gotta do the water change Sunday and gunna hit the Rez with that CropSalt drop on em!!! Stay tuned training is in full effect tonight will update lessgooo!!!

Tenemos ya la octava semana de esta maravillosa Purple Kush de @Kannabiaseeds. Hemos trasplantado la planta a una maceta mayor y tambien empezamos con un increible Scrog😍

She's coming on nicely packing on the bud sights I like the structure on her removed some leaves and waste from the underside introduced sumo boost a good week should see some nice changes soon will get some better pics soon ...put up bew pics and video in better light thanks for reading happy growing guy's

I was keeping them as low as possible with LST, now I ll try to keep buds away from each other.

What can I say. This left plant has gone to shit. After it has all happened I have definitely felt stupid about how long I have thought everything was going fine, and how quickly that has all turned to a complete and utter failure. Considering the stage of seed development in the left plant, it has been pollinated over a month ago. What I first thought were foxtails were seed pockets in the end. On the right plant the small seeds have not quite developed. So these seeds are small, and have already turned brown. The calyxes in which these sit, are turning yellow brownish. Other people have told me this was genetic expression. But it definitely isnt. For that reason I have let that one ripen, which was a bad decision in the end. That one has been harvested and is drying now. The left plant however has seeds that have clearly been developing for weeks, and is just totally filled with seeds. That pheno expecially, does show a haze structure and smell, and is also super sensitive for stress and butrot. However it has pollinated itself to the point everything in my growroom is toast. I discarded my whole autoflower in my cabinet next to my tent. Fully pollinated, but was in early flower still, and was doing great. Embryo seeds in every calyx. Shame because that Gorilla Cookies smelled amazing, for sure. I will be finishing this left haze pheno for S1 seeds now. About 2 weeks to go. Can't wait to clean the growroom and take a few weeks break before I start 2 new runs.

Tied down in a second place now, going to tie it in a full circle just for something to try before I top it.

RA

Day 1 I don't understand why her growth is progressing so slowly; it seems like she's being rather lazy about it, and I have a gut feeling that she is growing slowly because of the humidity PH 6.0 EC 0.6 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 25c Day 2 Refresh the water and add 10 L nuts PH 5.8 EC 0.8 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 25c Day 3 PH 6.2/5.8 EC 0.8 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 23c Day 4 Thu Add AC water to lower the EC PH 6.2/5.8 EC 0.9/0.7 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 22c Day 5 Fri Add AC water PH 6.1/5.9 EC 0.8/0.7 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 23c Day 6 Sat PH 5.9 EC 0.8 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 21c Day 7 Sun PH 5.9 EC 0.8 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 21c

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Alle 3 Pflanzen sind geerntet. Wir sehen uns in 2 Wochen mit dem Erntebericht. Bis dann 🤙

Wahrscheinlich vorletzte Woche!

*Increased ppm from 850 to 950 *Week 3 of flowering. *Did some defoliation will leave it as if and see how it turns out. *Smell is weak. Just a piney smell to it. *left one with out lolipopping.

Repotted into 20L pots. Accidentally snapped a stem while using plant bends but she will recover nicely so not to worry. Again not enough pictures/videos in early veg unfortunately. EC also upped slightly.
