Plant at the front #3 has had slowed growth but buds are filling out pretty well now, pretty sure she is a Orange sherbet. Back 2 are on week 3 day 17!!! & Are going Awesome, buds stacking up & down every branch! Going to get some really good Cola's of them! They are loving the 730watts!’ of light, back left plant looks like a Tropicana Cookies, going to do some defoliation on her & tie branches down a bit to open up middle of plant to allow more light & air to lower bud sites.

Day 45-52 (Day 46) I just realized I forgot to zip up a small flap in the tent for at least 5 days or so. This probably made the added co2 useless. All the plants are slightly clawing and almost look overwatered, which is normal for plant at this stage but I wonder if the lower co2 levels are contributing at all. I couldn’t help myself today and did a small defoliation. Hopefully this doesn’t stress them out too much. I took about 15-20 leaves per plant. I really want some of this larf on the bottom fill out more. Even by 10-15%. (Day 47) Wow. I just noticed that #5 is putting on a thick layer of late frost. I’m guessing this has to do with all the mid flower feedings. Unfortunately the density on this girl lacking big time. Especially on the lowers. This could be genetic but there is too many variables at play to say for sure. If this stuff smokes proper I will continue to feed in mid flower. Plants are really starting to fade out here now. #3 in particular has some odd red coloring in a few of the leaves. (Day 48) I watered in 2 gallons on each plant making sure to get some decent runoff from each. Sucks that #3 didn’t fill out. The genetic potential was definitely there, something just went awry after that tea I gave it. I have at least 2 or 3 clones of that I will try outdoors. It’s been a very P hungry plant too. The stems were purpling like crazy, even in veg. Some people say this can be fixed with a microbial product like Mammoth P or Tribus which I might try for my next grow. #6 isn’t really filling out much either unfortunately. Tops look decent but everything under that is pretty leafy and airy. #1 and #7 are the clear winners here. #1 especially is picture perfect. If I wasn’t working on another project after this I would clone just #1 and run another scrog like this from clone. (Day 50) I was plucking some leaves today and I found a confirmed banana sticking out of one of the main colas on the stubby pheno. I didn’t defoliate this one too much so I wonder if it was caused by stress at all. I hope I don’t find anymore because we only have 10 days left here. (Day 52) My family member trimmed up the m39. It looks super scraggly but has some decent crystal nonetheless. That’s partly why I would never use an amazon blurple for flowering. It just doesn’t have the same canopy penetration that a light like mine does. Although for a budget setup they’re pretty awesome.

Hello, fellow cultivators! Week 7 with our magnificent Big Cheese Auto is like witnessing a green monster awaken, and the excitement is through the roof. Massive shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep surprising and delighting. Our green beast is romping through her third week of flowering, and oh my, what a spectacle! It's like she's unleashed her inner monster, growing wild and free. The Autopot system is the backstage pass, allowing her to indulge in a nutrient feast on her terms. It's like the VIP treatment for a botanical rockstar. P-Boost and Topbooster, our dynamic duo, are pulling off some serious nutrient sorcery. Organic nitrogen, L-amino acids, trace elements, and natural stimulants are the secret ingredients to this blooming potion. The anticipation for those colossal, aromatic buds is reaching fever pitch. And there's more to the nutrient party! Say hello to K-Boost, the organo-mineral maturation booster that's about to elevate our Big Cheese Auto's bloom to new heights. This powerhouse contains a symphony of L-amino acids, potassium (K), and sulphur trioxide (SO3), creating a concoction that's nothing short of a maturation marvel. Picture it like a botanical spa treatment. The L-amino acids are the pampering session, promoting a luxurious maturation process. Meanwhile, the potassium (K) is the nutrient chauffeur, ensuring a smooth ride for our buds to reach their full potential. Sulphur trioxide (SO3) is the secret sauce, enhancing the overall yield and end quality. As we venture into the next phase of our green odyssey, K-Boost is here to ensure that our Big Cheese Auto not only blooms but does so with an unparalleled maturation finesse. The anticipation for a bountiful harvest with top-notch quality is now taken up a notch. I've thrown caution to the wind and let her go wild. It's like allowing a creature of the cannabis jungle to thrive in its natural habitat. No holding back, just the unbridled energy of a green beast in bloom. The canopy is turning into a wild tapestry, and I'm loving every untamed inch of it. Our TDS is dancing at a robust 420, and the pH is in perfect harmony at 6.0. It's like a botanical orchestra playing the sweetest tunes, all thanks to the Autopot and the nutrient magic. The leaf-bending spectacle continues. It's like a dance of chlorophyll, creating an even canopy that bathes in the natural light. Defoliation is on the horizon, a grooming session for our wild beauty. Ensuring every bud gets its moment in the spotlight. A heartfelt thanks to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and the phenomenal community. Your support is the heartbeat of this green odyssey. As we plunge into the next week, the excitement is untamed. Our Big Cheese Auto is not just growing; she's evolving into a botanical marvel. I can't wait to see the monstrous beauty that unfolds. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Genetics -Seeds Mafia Big Cheese Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

Day 43 - First day of week 7 today and she looks really good just not sure if she’s really starting to flower yet. I’m hoping this is just typical of the GC strain. Day 44 - No major changes, she’s growing and I’m loving the looks of her. Will continue uploading daily pictures. Day 45 - She’s looking really good and budding more and more each day. Gave her straight pH’d water today and tomorrow and will give her another feeding on Saturday. She’s drinking almost a gallon of water a day. Day 46 - Things are looking good with this girl. Bud sites are growing daily and this thing is a beauty. Gave her another feeding of just pH’d water and will “feed” her tomorrow. Day 47 - ALL is looking good and she’s looking purdy. Gave her a feeding with the foxfarm nutes today. Did a true measurement to the biggest branch and she’s at 25.5”. Will continue to measure each day to see how much she’s growing in a 24 hour period. Day 48 - Looking gorgeous and still stretching. Grew another two inches and is sitting at 27.5” right now. She’s really starting to fill in now and looking forward to the next few weeks. Day 49 - The way thing thing is growing, she’s gonna be a beast. Gave her straight pH’d water tonight and will give her a feeding tomorrow. Looks like she finally stopped stretching, sitting at 27.5” still so hopefully she’ll start putting on the weight.

Seems to be taking well to being moved to the 5gal pot. Growing a lot faster after the 2nd day in the bigger pot. Watered for the first time since planting in big pot after 5 days with 1L distilled water (Ph 7) mixed with 1/2 tsp. fox farms grow big and 1/2 tsp. big bloom. Since my soil is considered hot soil I wanted to use less than the recommendation on the bottle.

I am super happy with the harvest. Unfortunately, the grow was not a brilliant performance. But MimosaEvo is always a great choice.

Servus zusammen 🏽 Im Vergleich zum Rest im Zelt ist alles beim Alten... Sie hängt ein paar Tage hinterher... Was aber nichts ausmacht... Sie macht sich gut und zeigt eben etwas langsamer in welche Richtung sie will😁 Ich bin zufrieden und weiterhin gespannt

Welcome to the start of week 4 !!! These ladies are on the rise to greatness Largatha and Harley-quinn are just growing at great speeds . We already have some side branching taking place so by the end of the week we should see a big change in the ladies . This will also be there last week in the solo cups as I will be x-planting them into their final homes as of next week ! So far no complaints they are just turning up !! A big thank you to the people who take the time to stop in and check out the diary :) !! Happy Growing! -V.G Day#19V Growing nicely !! Day#2 since watering 1/2 cup . They are such thirsty ladies !! Day#20V Coming along nicely gaining wind won't be long now till I start training these ladies !! Watered 1/2 Cup each at 500PPM Day#21V Pictures N/A I'm very excited to see whats going to come in the near future ! They pushing 5 fingers now !! Day#1 Since watering 1/2 Cup at 500PPM Day#22V Ladies are growing along . Transplanted into 3 gallon . Watered 3/4 Cup each . Day#23V They are loving their new home ! Suffering from nitrogen def and a tiny bit of over watering . Im going to start using base nutes now . Day#1 Since watering 3/4 Cup each. Day#24V PIctures N/A. Ladies are starting to pick up the pace ! Going to be looking to train them soon . Day#2 Since watering 3/4 cup each Day#25V Pictures N/A, Ladies are super thirsty . Watered 1 Cup each at 520PPM ( 1.5ml/l Grow Micro Bloom ) going to reduce to 1ml/l as of next feeding . Recap : Things really picked up this week for the ladies , I transplanted them into their final homes now Im just awaiting a few more nodes of growth and I will top them and start to train them in the fashion that I like . I started to noticed discolouration on the very bottom leaves that came out (likely due to being over watered) So I've added 1 extra day of dry time in between feedings again to ensure the root zone gets dry enough before adding more water ( from every 2 days to every 3 days ) Other then that these ladies are really picking up I'm excited to see what they going to bring in flower !

I add a half of teaspoon of Epsom salt with every feeding because its straight coco except on days I feed plain water. I do this from beginning of veg up until the last week before harvest when I flush

Week 10 The Trichomes are cloudy and some are amber, their production are so huge that looks like a snow blizzard frosted over the nugs! The Plant has dryed after a flush and been left in complete darkness 2 days ago! The smell reek the entire house! It´s time for Harvest! 👌 RQS fabric pots 😎 VS cheap ebay fabric pots 💩 Extra oxygen to the roots can help extend cannabis growth rates, in RQS pots, cannabis plants will not become “root-bound”, which is when roots cover the ends of the container and “choke” the plant. It is a very big problem for any plant to become root bound, but in these, that doesn’t happen since the plant will receive plenty of air, which will lead to the plant naturally “air pruning” itself, and forgoing the roots wrapping around the container edges. Because the air comes in from all sides, your plant will receive a lot of oxygen, and thereby avoid getting “wet feet” from overwatering. When water sits in your pot for too long, it can lead to root rot and other diseases that put your crop at risk. Because of such consistent air-filtration, pots will have to be irrigated more frequently because the soil will continually dry out from the exposure. Still your plants will ultimately be protected from over watering and the problems that arise from it. This pots comes with handles, which makes transportation easier and they´re built with top quality materials, wich make them more rigid than cheap fabric pots that i experienced before, rigidity means easily moving pots around and RQS pots rigid shape reduces damage to plants and roots during transportation and prevents from folding over during filling or watering. RQS fabric pot provide maximum aeration and moisture retention for optimal growth. Thanks for turning on and tuning in. Jah Bless 🙏

I got the purple pheno at last !! So glad actually... that it is actually changing colour and with so many more weeks left for it to continuously transition. Totally what I’m looking for in future breeding projects. Black amnesia haze fast: for its rooting and overall vigorous performance. Creating good yields each run And this one I’m still waiting to see how she goes! Way more grows in the future!

Esta es mi primer planta que cosechó con éxito, y estoy muy feliz con mi resultado final 😄 obtuve una muy buena cantidad de flores premium con alrededor de 15% de thc (desde mi punto de vista claro 😅) Tuve algunos problemas durante el cultivo, principalmente que deje que se estirara mucho, debi hacerle LST a la punta principal para que no siguiera aumentando la altura y tener más flores del mismo tamaño, las flores más bajas quedaron chicas y les faltó madurar un poco, también tuve problemas de sobrefertilizacion aun a pesar de que seguí las instituciones de los fertilizantes y de sus indicaciones que me dieron los de servicio al cliente, incluso ya teniendo en cuenta eso siempre use la menos de la dosis de la base ya hasta que crecieron más le fui aumentando, igual creo que es muy cierto lo que dicen de que “menos es más” a la próxima empezaré usando muy pocos nutrientes, aparte creo que si hubiera usado unos leds más potentes, las plantas hubieran aprovechado más los nutrientes, pero igual me sirvió de experiencia, pienso cultivar de nuevo esta genética y sacarle más provecho. Muy recomendada 👌🏻😁
