04/02/24. Here we are starting week 6. Not too much has changed since last week. 2 of the girls leaves seem to be changing colors no matter what intensity of light I try, or what nutrients I give, or don’t. Both of their pistols have gotten really dark as well. #1 (middle plant) has stayed pretty dark green, pretty sure she has too much nitrogen before. Her pistols seem to be darkening much slower. It seems as the other 2 are very similar to each other, and seem more mature. I figured they would maybe drink less water as time went on but instead it seems they are drinking more than ever. Some days the soil is so dry and they look droopy after having been watered thoroughly the day before. Others they seem alright, so watering schedule is typically every other day unless they demand more. I’ve been giving them about a gallon- watering in very slowly. I also gave them some tea, which I’ve listed up top. Trying to help their leaves. Maybe this is just normal, but I don’t know, just think it’s too early for colors. The smell I mentioned in another week has gotten louder. I swear I smell spices mixed in there now too. It’s been nice out the past few days so I opened the windows. Oops. Could smell them outside. Smelled like weird spicy food cooking with a side of chemical, gas, and a skunk spraying? Yeah idk lol.

My Purple Kush is still the little guy of the group. It's so small, I don't think it's even started flowering yet, but that's alright! It'll have plenty of time to mature and do its thing. I'm guessing it'll probably be ready for harvest a couple of weeks after the others. I'm excited to see how this one turns out – Purple Kush is known for its beautiful colors and relaxing effects, so I've got high hopes! This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

I do not know how it happened but it did… She has decided she want to reveg herself. I hope you can see what I mean, if you compare week 18 and this 23rd week. She’s now bush and showing off her new growth, I am caught between defoliation or letting her grow wild and uninterrupted, the problem lies with blocking other new growth from getting enough sunlight, I remember change her position to try get both sides growing at an equal rate but all I did is made the one lacking to be the one leading in growth. Loving her scent, fruity sweet, though has a slight hint of diesel.

The girls are still doing well! I haven't topped or LST'ed yet as I'm waiting for them to get one more node. Then I'm going to top and start the LST. Unsure if I'm actually going to do SCROG this time since I've got four plants going instead of 2 or 3 like in the past. Space is limited. We'll see though... I'm using FoxFarm Happy Frog soil and added earthworm castings to that whenever I moved the plants to the 3-gallon bags so I'm sure I won't have to properly feed until several more weeks at least from now. My last batch which was 3 Gelat.O.G autos and I didn't have to feed them until they were well into flowering. Love Happy Frog... FoxFarm all together really. I'll update whenever I decide to start the training this week. It may be tomorrow. 2/28/23: I still haven't started the LST yet, but I did top today. I was actually going to LST and top together but decided I'll give them a day or so to recover... plus, I didn't feel like getting down in the tent tonight... lolol 😍😘 3/1/23: Went ahead and started LST tonight. Let's see how this goes.

Dry condition 20° 40-45% RH After a 14 day hang, she gifted a 72g + 20g worth of trim. My largest yield for one plant. Small buds but there are lots of them. Very good smoke from the early test before throwing the into the jar.

At the start of week 9 The end of the feeding schedule for two out of the three ladies for "Cath" & "Lorna" 5 litres of dechlorinated tap water only, for the remaining amount of time ripening up. "Anna-Marie" is still on the normal feeding schedule as she's several weeks behind the other two so fed her 13mls of Bio Flores and 20 mls of Bio Boost diluted in 5 litres of dechlorinated tap water. Chopped off a couple of LARFY branches to sample. I then gave them a quick couple of days speed dry in front of the fire 🔥 😅 Yes I know they need to cure but temptation be dammed, needs must lol 😆

Hello:) This week was easy again, watered them twice, kept the tops under the net for a few more days and then I just let them grow. I also had to raise the wasabi again, it stopped stretching like a week ago. The sangrias are also developing nicely, they are almost done stretching now. I didn‘t add any nutrients this week, a friend of mine who uses biotabs for years said I should be very careful with adding bio pk 5-8 because he had problems with over fertilizing even when using a very small dose. Since the leaves still look perfect, I‘ll wait a bit. Also the bugs are back, they seem to come in waves but nothing my sticky tape can‘t handle:) Looking forward to next week, the wasabi is small but already starting to pack some nice buds:)

Day 69 (March 6th) Just gave everyone their last watering. I’m going to harvest and wash everything tomorrow night on day 70. I‘m not going to do that whole 48 hours of darkness thing because I didn’t see a difference last time I did it. In fact, it made my plant under watered before drying which caused it to dry too fast. Slurricane and cheese will be washed with h2o2 and the rest will just be rinsed off in warm RO water and hung up. Before and after washing I’m going to go over each branch with a flashlight and make sure there is no dog hair or debris in or on the buds. I will be drying in my spare bathroom (that no one uses!) from hangers. Aiming to keep it around 60-62F and 50-60 RH. Hoping for that 10-12 day dry. I wanted to do a full plant hang but the tent got pretty dirty and I would feel more comfortable just cutting and rinsing everything off branch by branch. I’m going to try my best to keep the full plant intact. Got my humidifier hooked up and running RO water because with tap water it deposits calcium and lime all over the buds and walls. For air flow I’m just indirectly running a small usb fan. I’m not worried about air flow in the bathroom honestly. It stays nice and breezy down there anyway. Got the food grade peroxide and RO water to wash up the slurricane and cheese. Everything except for the cheese and garlic#1 is looking more than done. Trichomes all look pretty well done. Some of them have even burst open. Smells are all super ripe and mature too. Can’t wait to smell each individually in jars. Next week I will recap what went wrong and what I will do differently next time to keep it from happening again. (Day 70F) Just got everything chopped, washed and hanging. The vast majority of the PM was washed out but I can still see very small amounts. When they dry out I can shake the branches a bit to get the rest off. At very least it’s sterile now. There is no question I lost some potency while washing but the amount is negligible for a much cleaner product. I could see lots of dirt and other debris float to the surface of the water after being washed. And no those are not trichomes, those sink to the bottom. I could put that nasty water through a bubble bag and wouldn’t get all that much. Although it probably does remove a lot of the actual trichomes heads. I’ll have to check with the microscope. Everything is rigged up for a nice slow dry. Temp is sitting at 64 and RH is at a nice 60%.

Week 9 (November 4-10) Day 57 Watered ~1750ml. Data sheet suggests we have two weeks left but I haven't noticed any milky trichomes yet. I removed two smallest branches with tiny flowers that were really underdeveloped in hopes she will spend this energy somewhere else.😭 Day 58 I wish I could bring all the buds to the same height but mistakes were made and some of them will never properly grow. The ones at the top look great. I think the plants look as healthy and happy as they could be in a 40x40 tent 😎 Day 59 Removed a few more leaves and one more tiny hidden branch. 💀 Buds keep growing. Day 60 Can't really see much happening. Day 61 Watering ~1800ml. Removed a few more leaves and one more tiny flower. Checked trichomes under the microscope. It seems they just begin turning milky with most of them still being transparent. Slightly increased nutrients. I'm trying to figure out where to dry her when time comes 🙀 Day 62 They both look good, so far no deficiencies spotted 😻 No hassle today, nothing gets cut. I'm looking for a social club for anonymous growers with plants under 30cm, where we could share our problems and look for understanding. Size doesn't matter, guys! 👺😽 Day 63 Lower buds pistils are still all white... so far no signs of amber heads. Flowers seem to be growing. Removed some more fan leaves and tried to slightly reposition a couple of branches that were getting too close to each other.

Hey GD! Harvested two off the four. I haven't weighed it yet but I predict about 2 ounce off each. The skiny bud plant really surprised me! The buds are potent and pretty with the purple hues. This strain is potent enough for you not to realise its an auto flower. The other two are coming down over the next week. The super main only first then the supercrop every branch plant. I have to say my trouble plant that I abused has really come along. I'm proud of her. Her buds are diesel buds there sparkly and smell just right. The super crop on main only plant has developed seriously dense Flowers not a spot of mold! Ambering up alot. She has taken on a smell of them yellow melons, its incredible! Really unique. In fact each plant out of this pack of 5 has had its own characteristics, its been a pleasure discovering the phenotypes and I advise anyone grow at least two of the same strain because you never know how they might turn out haha! Final week next week! Update: got just over 100g dry off the two that hadn't been trained. Just made some cannabutter off the trim check out the pics!

On week 2 the woolrock got some mohoo, i fixed it by putting water mixed with "safe roots" from Hydrotek directly into the rockwool superfice. After a couple days that problem was solved and the plant kept growing very well. And also i started to train the plants (lst)

Day 57 - The plant looks great, healthy! The buds are looks great also. Day 58 - The plant is looking great i just watered her today looks like she might have a bit of water shock. I gave the plant some PH controlled water but i didn't take into account the soil so the whole thing didn't make a difference. Day 59 - The plant looks amazing. Defoliated her a little more today.I'm noticing the smell more prominently now as well; Also we done some seriouse decore change today so the whole place looks like a bud box we got the other plants from my diaries featuring in a the video. Day 60 - She is well and growing. Day 61 - Was to busy running around didnt take a pic its a shame but its okay. Day 62 - The buds are forming nicely plant is stretching out for the last time. The plant is also dry and will need watering tomorrow. I raised the light today as she is very tall now and was nearly touching the light. Day 63 - The plant got fed PH 5 water, so she looks a bit droopy from water shock but; she will spring back to life like she normally does. Looks like the plant is doing well though.

Environmental Adjustments: Due to cool temperatures, a root heater was installed this week. The heater also helps maintain higher nighttime temperatures, improving overall conditions. Final Selection: The last selection was made, removing a smaller plant with slight leaf deformities. Although the differences were minor, only one plant was retained. Growth Observations: The selected plant shows symmetrical and robust growth. No abnormalities or issues have been observed, and it continues to thrive under the improved conditions. Summary: Week 2 marks steady progress with optimized conditions, setting the stage for continued strong development. dein-onlineheadshop.de/ Use my referral code 420Shop at checkout to get a discount on your purchase.

Monday Gave her a good dose of sugar Royal, and a bit PK and pure zym, touch of alg a mic, all looks good, buds are filling out nicely 😀 Tuesday Small feeding today, heavy on the PK 13/14 I'm fighting the humidity but it's manageable so far Wednesday Got a very small pruning, I don't want to touch it too much plus i only have a 60cm × 60cm tent its hard to work in it and this is a big f##king plant, to be honest I didn't think it would get this big but its my first grow! I've read that's it's not good to prune autoflowers too much but this things getting pretty dense so I cleared out the bottom a bit for air flow. Buds are really swelling now, and I think they are turning blueish purple?! I can see it on all the big colas and they are starting to get sticky! Thursday No feeding/watering today, I'm starting a flush as of now, today is a dry day for the plant so fresh water only from tomorrow on. Today all I have to do is look at it, and she's beautiful! Smell is really picking up inside the tent, carbon filter is earning his keep now, super good those rhinos and I only have the hobby one! Friday Gave her a hard flush today, it took a LOT of water! Just clean water from now on, it think I'm well within 2 weeks of cutting so fingers crossed it keeps going Saturday Absolutely no work done on it today, its a waiting game now and I think I'm going to win soon! Sunday I decided to take a chance and discard some of the small lower branches, I think I should have trimmed a lot more off much sooner, however my inexperience with a scrog net coupled with the small size of the tent and how big the thing grew its become impossible to move it out of the tent and its very difficult to get into the back of it to lollipop it! 🤣 next one will be much better, this is still going to be a big yield I suspect but lots of smaller popcorn nugs will make up most of the weight, there's still about 3 dozen nice colas tho that will hopefully bulk up more, any feedback and tips would be appreciated!
