Mandarin XL auto is doing good. I had to give tge solution a nutrition boost early week. It just was not strong enough for her. She is doing good. She is ready for a solution change very soon. I was hoping she would start transitioning first to go to blooming nutrition. Everything is looking good beside that nutrition problem. Thank you Medic Grow, Gen1:11, and Ganja Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Never ever put an autoflower and a photoperiod in the same grow box. The harvest was fantastic despite my mistake. I have to admit that the Sativa gave me a lot more pleasure than the Skunk as well as a superior final yield. 100% satisfied. Thanks Sensi Seeds.

Hello Diary. Fourth week of flowering. The first thing I will point out is the amazing fruity scent of Fat Banana. I literally run out of saliva from the smell, I can’t wait to try the flavor.😋 As can be seen in the photos, the brown spots from last week have turned into whole yellow leaves with brown spots. 😟 I’m not 100% sure what caused it, but what’s possible is that she got too many nutrients. (Overfeeding) Considering the RQS pellets I put in the ground, and the amount of BioBizz I added, it’s still maybe too much for Fat Banana. 😳 If anyone is reading this post, feel free to comment on your opinion for the cause of such leaves.🙏 Since her roommates, Haze Berry Automatic, have the same treatment, and there are no such symptoms on them, I'm not 100% sure about overfeeding. Although I don’t add BioBizz every time I water, but when I add it, I put it on schedule for that week. Perhaps the concentration of nutrients in such watering is too high for this strain. Let’s take a look at what happened last week. 07/11/2020 - Day 44. Watering. I preventively added 1ml / l CalMg and regulated p.H. at 6.3 with Plagron’s Lemon Kick. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.4 degrees and 44% humidity. 09/11/2020 - Day 46. Watering. Since I noticed leaf decay, I watered like two days earlier just by adding CalMg and I regulated p.H. at 6.4 Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.7 degrees and 44% humidity. 12/11/2020 - Day 49. Photographing and watering. This time I added BioBizz as scheduled for the current flowering week. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 24.8 degrees and 44% humidity. Although Fat Banana shows yellow leaves and brown spots on some leaves, the flowers themselves have not been affected so far. We'll see how things go. See you soon. 🙌

Week 4 begins for Mandarin dreams and Divine storm. Both ladies are looking happy and I increased their feed by 1 liter each. Thank you Mars-Hydro for the TSW2000 light, very happy with the light performance so far. Thanks for stopping by growfessors 👽 tune in next week for another episode of growfessor theatre!

Weekly update for these lovely ladies. They've grown and grown since the last update so much I had to raise the greenhouse. Cinder blocks under the frame gave me an extra 16in. They're growing probably a foot of week and still reaching for the stars. I did switch to Athena's Bloom A & B and P&K booster this week giving 5-10ml per gallon. I really couldn't be happier with how they've grown up to this point. All in all Happy Growing.

Man this lady is moving quick. Her bud development is supercharged. Her engine is roaring as she explodes her way through bloom. Buds are already getting solid and are very structured. Trichomes are piling on at a staggering rate. Shes gunna be one frosty lady! She got treated with Dr zhymes as a preventative. That will basically wrap up her treatments ...possibly once more with lost coast. Upped the pk intake as she is blooming strong now. Gotta keep her engine well fuelled. Response was stellar. Happy happy happy lady. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Week 4: Pre-Flower - The Hunger Games Begin! 🌱➡️🌸 Currently bumping: Larry June - Organic Tokens 🎵 All three ladies have officially hit pre-flower! The transition is happening, and these girls are making it crystal clear—they're HUNGRY. Time to step up the organic feeding game. All Three Ladies - Pre-Flower Mode Activated Apple Fritter, Lemon Cherry (Right), and Lemon Cherry (Left) are all showing those telltale pre-flower signs—pistils popping, internodal stretch beginning, and most importantly, an increased appetite that plain water just isn't satisfying anymore. Last Week's Feeding: Roots Organic Veg Tea Ratio: 1 tbsp per gallon mixture Applied as a soil drench to boost available nutrients The Reality Check: It helped, but it's not enough. They're telling me loud and clear that they need MORE as they prepare for the energy-intensive flowering phase. The Organic Solution - Double Trouble Top Dress Time to bring in the big guns! Preparing for flower means giving these girls a nutrient-rich foundation they can pull from over the coming weeks. Upcoming Top Dress Mix: Half-strength Roots Organic Terp Tea (bloom-focused formula) Gaia Green All Purpose (balanced NPK for transition support) This combo gives them: Immediate microbial activity from the Terp Tea Slow-release nutrition from Gaia Green Support for both the vegetative finish AND early flower development Enhanced terpene production (that's what we're here for!) Application plan: Light top dress on the soil surface, then water in gently. The microbes will get to work breaking everything down, making nutrients available exactly when the plants need them. Why This Approach Works Pre-flower is the PERFECT time to top dress: Plants are entering their hungriest phase Organic amendments take time to break down—starting now means nutrients are available when flower really kicks in The transition from veg to bloom nutrients happens naturally as different microbes activate Less risk of overfeeding compared to liquid synthetic nutes Key Observations These girls went from "we're good" to "FEED US" seemingly overnight. That's pre-flower for you—the metabolic shift is real. The stretch is beginning, which means they're pulling hard on nitrogen, phosphorus, AND potassium. The Gaia All Purpose will cover the NPK bases while Terp Tea brings the micronutrients and beneficial biology. Larry June voice: "Organic garden, hand-crafted nutrients, you feel me?" 🎶 Next Week's Plan Apply the Roots Terp Tea + Gaia Green top dress Water thoroughly to activate the amendments Monitor how quickly they respond to the feeding Watch the stretch—may need to start LST or support stakes soon Keep the music bumping and the vibes organic ✌️ Pre-flower is when the magic really starts happening. Let's give these ladies everything they need to absolutely THRIVE! 🔥🌿 Good soil + hungry plants + organic amendments = the recipe for terpy, flavorful flowers. Let's get it! 🎵

Testing the drill pump , remember the hose always has water in it haha 😂 The reason I use 6 inch net pots , is because it’s easy to interchange between small and big pots , some people use the 10 inch net pots , it’s too hard to start in , I want to be as quick as possible , the more lst or defoliation you do will delay flowering The really useful boxes have a little lip that you can drill LST anchor points , you can still remove lid without any issues, only drill through lid , DO NOT DRILL WITH LID IN PLACE , I used a 5mm drill bit Drilled the lid on the Wham Bam boxes , and dropped two purple lemonade in have also cut the locking part of the lid off , it’s a ball ache to open otherwise 😜 RESULT - the really useful boxes are amazing , the other ones are ok , but these 35litre are the best

I'm very happy about how the buds have developed in this 2nd week of flower! The girls stretched a lot this week, about 15cm. The bud sites are a bit too close to each other, but I can't do much about it now, I will have to put up to the extra work when harvesting. They get fed 6 times a day and they drink a looot, about 2,8l per day 😮 I'm doing a flush today, the first one, to get the roots rinsed out of any accumulated salts.

This C4 auto was very fast to flower, and stretched up to produce some very pretty, berry smelling/tasting nugs! The buds didn't flower very dense, they formed as fox-tail shapes. Yield is on the low-end of acceptable, but good considering the bud structure! I'm growing another next run, to compare phenotypes!

Day 57. Girls okeish except damaged leaves by thrips and by my sprays with most probably too much neem oil in it. Lady bugs all over plants, so i think i should beat problem easy till first heavy flowering training session... By book its 50 bugs vs one LadyBug a day, i imagine that they will start to starve like tomorrow latest ;))) Day 62. Yesterday got more help to fight thrips and ordered new variety of natural predators to keep on ... With such dense canopy fight is very hard, in smaller tent all is sorted, in this one i still see damaged leaves and sometimes thrips still .... Anyway, even with those issues they are really nice girls, will do heavy training on Tuesday or Wednesday ... Idea is to do hard defoliation and then introduce new army of predators, i will loose some during training 4 sure... I still see lady bugs and and i released larvae already, will give them 4 more days to get hungry ;))) Happy Growing !!!

She is doing very well. She even grew a bit, probably the buds. They are still growing, even so the growth decreased. The trichomes started to develop rapidly and she gets frosty. I would say again she might need two weeks.😏

She’s still being babysat by a friend and so far she’s growing strong. Have a good stretch so the light was moved up a bit as well, also implemented some LST. Can’t wait to see her again.

Very easy plant to harvest, didn't have too much leaves, so very easy to take out fan leaves and prepare to dry.
