Plants looking good, I removed two fan leaves to allow more light to reach the lower branches. Im trying to encourage horizontal growth not vertical so I try to do everything I can to coax the plant outwards and not upwards. I regularly bend the stalks downwards gently with my hands. Watered with fert again this week. Nothing else to report. Next grow im definitely gonna try main lining as always any tips or comments always appreciated -

Plants are looking awesome. Skullcap is extremely frosty, the whole tent reeks and no hiccups. I've noticed that the (14) pineapple express #2 seems to be less dense of a bud cola, its looking like the (15) Pineapple express #2 is the better version. If it doesn't tighten up this one's out of the running. I already got rid of the skullcap mom, great quality, but not the quantity I wanted to see.

Still hadn't really figured it out this week... I was making a lot of mistakes, but the deficiencies weren't showing yet so I had no idea.

Everything is going well with our big girl, switched to ph treated tap water which seems to be working well. It comes out of the tap at 7 ph and around 80 ppm. I have used lemon juice to get it around 6.86 ph after mixing in my nutrients. 2/11- Very hard to water big girl as she seems to be drinking really fast and theres not much room; i'm having to water everyday. Not sure how long i'm going to veg but starting to worry about height for flower in my 3x3

Weather is getting a bit better this week. Almost no rain anymore and much more sun comparing to last week. Blueberry Ghost OG and Kali AK still don't want to start flowering, but they slowed down from growing taller at least, so there are hope of they to start flowering soon (hopefully).

Day 29 29/07/24 Monday Nice feeding today with De-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Gave her 300 ml and she had a small run off. Getting chunky in the stem now 💪💚 Day 31 31/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚 Day 32 01/08/24 Thursday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, there now taking 300ml every evening. Day 35 04/08/24 Sunday END OF WEEK 😁 De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron products. 300ml each. Had a issue with leaf invaders this week, I have treated and am checking every 48 hrs so far seems ok and not progressive. All plants look great, very healthy, one of the Overdose is way behind and due to space maybe culled at flower I'll see how she gets on.

Hi growmies, The plants are in full flower now and have been defoliated after the hst of last week and seems like she has recovered. I had removed the filter and vent from the box and have the vent suck the air out of the box into the carbon filter, which gave me another 10 cm to play with. The plant consumes around 2 l of nutrient solution in 24 hours. This whole experience is howling me that I have to change the system in the box as I loose to much height with the grow table and the rockwool blocks. Will probably run a 20 l DWC in it, that I am currently working on.

Can I just say, these plants growth and development have been awesome, in the beginning she just grew horizontally and at a snail rate, but in my absence it’s like she was preventing her growth, and the problem with Monday’s Blue, it’s pot was not filled to the brim with grow medium (alike Unknwon Strain), unlike the other 4 plants so it did not get enough wind and sunlight, but guess what, nature always makes a plan. Look at her now.

So I started seeing some ember with my microscope. So I thought it's TIME TO HARVEST. I prepared the place for it and put it in darkness for 2 days so my girl would feel that it's time for her to give it all she got. And today 17.06 I chopped her and hanged her upside down to dry. Im sooo happy and can't wait to try it. Now I'm facing a big problem... My country became super hot.. and I'm struggling to keep humidity and temperatures correct 😭🌡️ I'm still gonna try my best to give it a long drying process.. then I'll update you on the smells and everything. I havent even checked the wet weight coz I don't wanna disturb the buds. I'll just give it it's time.. and then better I check the weight when I separate every cola and it will be dry enough😊😊😊 The other girl is having the time of her life now.. all the tent is hers now. What she was dreaming of since the beginning :c.she still has some time left before harvest. I'll attach the pictures!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤👿🌲

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana non ho applicato stress alla piccola, ma ho guardato l'evoluzione che ha avuto dando i nutrienti. Ora ha un odore davvero intenso ed uno strato di resina pauroso, vediamo come si riprende dalla defogliazione che ho fatto settimana scorsa. Seguiranno aggiornamenti, grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Die Auto Candy Bubatz ist reif für die Ernte. sie hat in der letzten heißen Woche ihre Blüten ausreifen lassen. Mit dem ersten Hochnebel des Jahres steigt auch die Schimmelanfälligkeit und somit werde ich sie heute schneiden. Der Erntebericht und weitere Fotos werden folgen. Vielen Dank an Dutch Passion, dass ich an diesem Contest teilnehmen konnte. Ich habe Einiges über Autoflowers dazugelernt, sodass mir keine mehr vollständig verschimmelt ist, was leider letztes Jahr geschehen ist. Die Bubatz riecht jetzt sehr süß, etwas minzig, würzig. Richtig super einfach war es jedoch nicht, sie durch die Schlechtwetterperiode im Sommer zu bekommen. Autoflower sind keine Selbstläufer. Ich freue mich bereits auf den ersten Genuss. Zuallererst wird ihr Duft beim Trocknen durch die Wohnung ziehen, auch bereits ein Event. --- The Auto Candy Bubatz is ready for harvest. It has allowed its flowers to mature during the last hot week. With the first high fog of the year, the susceptibility to mold also increases, so I will cut it today. The harvest report and more photos will follow. Many thanks to Dutch Passion for allowing me to participate in this contest. I learned a lot about autoflowers, so none of them got completely moldy, which unfortunately happened last year. The Bubatz now smells very sweet, a little minty, spicy. However, it wasn't really that easy to get it through the bad weather period in the summer. Autoflowers are not a sure-fire success. I'm already looking forward to enjoying them for the first time. First of all, their scent will waft through the apartment as they dry, which is an event in itself.

Plucked a few more leaves but other than that just feed them this week including bloom. Also gave them some rice starch (from boiled rice water collection) on day 42 as a boost for the microbes 👍 Turned the IR off now and turned up to 34000lux
