68 days of flower sticky frosty solid buds branches supported becomes big dark green buds covered with frost

Welcome to my Sour Strawberry Diary sponsored by Spider-Farmer & Barneysfarm. Days 15-21 Veg Days 8-9 11-12 Pheno 1 & 2 few days apart. Decided to top again, and again and again. Making a nice few tops. Been such a heavy sativa im not use to growing one. Kinda in new Territory. So many Shoots so close together. I'm gonna have to top them again at some stage. There's just too many and they're too short. They're the tops of what would of been great colas. But, I've a different agenda here. And I need more colas to fill my net. 6 sets from each plant won't cut it. Growth is good and steady this week. (Sadly, same can't be said for her in RT, they're pushing through) updates will come soon. Strong like Sativa Structure. Missing a bit of a stretch at the moment. Think I might throw her into a few days of 12-12 and then flip her back into veg to stretch her nodes to 50cm2 net. The legs of the frame go into the pot. So its moveable. Let's hope I do a decent job. The one that was started in the root riot cube, with the Broken stem. She is the biggest, by a ways I wonder if that's from an early break (HST) in her stem. Will for sure be testing this with clones. Happy with how these past weeks went. This is where the good times end. (For now) mag issues are looming. Shout out to the Bella from Spider-Farmer & the Rep from Barneysfarm. Much appreciated for the products. Thanks to all who viewed, liked &/R commented. Look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by.

Plants are healthy and growing well. 0.5L of water each plant every 2/3 days

Growing along nicely

Still 3 plant in the tent at the moment , 2 of them are harvested and drying right now :) another should be ready for harvest this week :) I do have a plant that seems to be late compared to the other , although she is now massive compared to her sisters

Tag 44 : - Umzug ins neue Zelt - VPD auf 1,0 gestellt Tag 45 : - gegossen mit 4,5 Liter (Grow-Mischung) - erster Drain = 2,9 EC 5,95 PH - ins Scrognetz eingearbeitet Tag 47 : - Untere Triebe + Sonnenblätter entfernt - IPW Anwendung (1ml auf 1 Liter) - gegossen mit 4,5 Liter (Grow Mischung) (Dosierung niedriger) - Drain = 3,63 EC 5,61 PH Tag 48 : (450 PPFD) - Blätter und Triebe entfernt

This is the best one I’ve done to date and excited to see what she finishes like .

beautiful plant

Welcome to Week 3 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s grow. It’s been extremely cold here in Canada this last few weeks and these plants are doing their best to survive- not thrive. Although they are healthy and happy, they are just not thriving like my previous Sweet Seeds grow from the fall of 2021. The temperatures are only a few degrees cooler than spring, summer and fall but the humidity is extremely low at this particular time of year- 20-25% at best. Without adding additional humidity via a humidifier, my plants are at the mercy of the dry Canadian winters. Week 3 did not bring the expected growth spurt experienced by the plants in my previous Sweet Seeds grow (the Cream Mandarine XL autos). I have included a side by side comparison photo above to show the massive difference in size between the two SS grows. It’s because of the slow growth that I have decided not to top these plants 👎🏼 I increased the water early in Week 3 to 2.1 litres per plant every 4th day (0.52 of a litre per plant per day). Hopefully these ladies pick up a little over week 4. Mom’s Tip for Week #3- To Top or Not to Top?… Topping is an simple technique used by growers to split the main stalk/stem into two separate stalks/stems. This allows for height control when growing XL strains, encourages lower branch growth creating a more equal canopy height and of course- creates two beautiful, big colas instead of one! But topping Autoflowers has long been the source of great debate so I’m here to clarify Mom’s Do’s & Don’ts when topping autos. Do top your plants if they are healthy, thriving and on track (growth wise) with other growers and any info the breeder’s might provide. Don’t top your plants if they appear unhealthy, simply surviving and behind/slow (growth wise) compared to other growers growing the same strain. Do top your Autoflowers between 3-5 weeks from seed or when your plants have grown as many sets of branches as you desire (usually 4-6 sets of branches or nodes). Don’t top your auto’s beyond the 5th-6th week as they are most likely going into full flower. Do top, prior to or very early on in the pre-flower stretch and don’t top too late in pre-flower or once budding has begun- it’s too late and you’ve missed your opportunity for this grow. Do top your plants if you know what you’re doing and you’ve got the right tools. Believe it or not, I use a sterilized set of nail clippers (dedicated to this job alone) as they deliver a clean, controlled, perfect cut every time. Don’t top your plants if you haven’t done your homework or you haven’t got the right tools. Many people use their fingers but I find they are too large and awkward for such a precise job. More than once I have missed (FIM’d) or taken one of the two baby branches that are supposed to be left behind or simply injured those tiny developing branch sites by accident. Do top your autoflowers if you are growing a large/XL strain in a small/short space. This allows the grower to influence/control the overall height of the plants and creates a more equal/level canopy of foliage and eventually bud. Don’t top your auto’s if you are growing a short, fast flowering strain as this can sometimes stall/stunt them a tiny bit. Some Autoflowers run such a tight seed to harvest schedule that they legitimately cannot afford any interruptions in their growing cycle so check the breeder’s info before you chop. Do have fun with growing your Cannabis and don’t be afraid to try something new. Don’t top your Auto’s expecting to triple your yield though. I have learned that it will change the shape and height of your plants and you’ll end up with less low level, larfy bud but your yields will be almost identical whether you top or not. ✂️✂️✂️

The beginning of the full flowering phase But there are some species that have not yet bloomed. GORILLA ZKITTLEZ (Week 0–>1) 4 plants SUPERHERO (Week 0->1) 4 plants PURPLE PUNCH COOKIE (W0) 2 plants WATERMELON ZKITTLEZ (W0) 1 plants CAKES N CREAM (W0) 1 plants

All plants are flowering now :) Day 62 picture is missing because I was not at home on this day, sorry for that. The dehumidifier is still always ON to get +/-50% humidity. Weather is still wet outside. I poor +/- 2l in each pot during each watering (a little bit more for the 26l pots). I started to use some BioBizz/Bio-Bloom for the Mandarin Punch #2. I think it lacks of nutrients because of the smaller pot and since I added the nutrient, it looks like it's not getting worse. I made the second and probably last big defoliation. Plants heights at the end of the week: Honey Melon Haze : 116cm (+28) O.G. Kush : 72cm (+12) Mandarin Punch #1 : 127cm (+13) Mandarin Punch #2 : 117cm (+22)

Little defoliation

Heeey guys! A rather fast update this time, right? I was always 1 week late with the updates but decided to speed things up a little this time! 😋 And now, to summarize this week I'd say it was fun! 😃 While I was still unsure if I wanted to go for 8 colas or just stick with 4 (I wasn't 100% sure last week! I'm a very indecisive person!) and after taking into consideration all the pros/cons and my own skill level I decided to just stick to 4 for now. I don't want the buds to fight for light and since this is my first time doing main-lining I'm sure I might end screwing things up with 8 colas. 😗 Besides what I mentioned earlier I did a lot of trimming (had to cut the remaining branches and extra foliage!) and gave a friend some cuttings of my babies! (after all I had 8 spare ones from each plant!) I also went for a more aggressive with LST since I know I'll need more space between each in the future colas! 💪 I also moved Boomer to a new container, she was getting somewhat crowded in such a small space! (I'm so impressed she's growing so well right now!) 😍 You'll once again see two time lapses showing how my plants were growing, I hope you all will enjoy them! 😉 Probably I'll stick for one or two more weeks in veg (I want the plants to grow a bit more before going into flower) but so far most of the work is done. Thanks everyone! 😊

the plants are happy and drinking 1/2 gal of water everyday Pheno 1 is purpling up and is the shortest out of the run pheno 2 is super frosty with a fundip nose pheno 3 is less frosty but has a grape soda smell to her

Good start so far for the girls . Proper good roots for only a few days . Already 2nd set of leafs have come out . E.C is still 0.6 although I will bump that up later in the week .
