So this is my first diary here and I'm going to start from week 11 so there's should only be another week or two left. My next one I'll do properly from the start. Also this feeding schedule was the last ammendment I did but was in week 10 and not this week. As I only started on week 11 I thought I'd just add it to show what I've given her. This is just 1 Northern Lights Autoflower from Royal Queen Seeds. I've topped her twice and done some LST and lollipopped just as she was going into flower..which was around week 5. I use 100% organic top soil amendments from Living Soils every 2 weeks. I water about 2 days after the top soil goes completely dry only in the mornings. And she's on a 20/4 light cycle. I vegged her in a standard plastic pot then transplanted at the end of week 5 into a 10l pot with the coco loaded with all of the above (minus the guano which I added at the start of week 3 of flower) with the aim of her hitting those amendments at the right time..so I wouldn't have to amend again for another 2 weeks which seemed to work out. I tested the run off shortly after the first feeding for flowering and it was really high - 3000ppm - alongside the pH which which was really low - 4.89 (as expected as its runoff) however I had oyster shell in that first feeding which should help raise the pH and my local tap water is hard so there's extra Calcium and a bit of Megnesium in there too. I also added a couple of drops of biobizz ph+ to the water. And with the mycorrhizae..which should kick in and colonise the root system in about 3 to 4 weeks..should create a mycillium network to help this living soil regulate everything!! Which it did as I tested the runoff again everytime I fed (every 2 to 3 days) and it slowly went down ending up at 1000ppm and a pH of 5.9 which was spot on. I also had a massive scare as I found small white bugs in the medium when I disturbed the top soil. Thinking they were spider mites thankfully they were Symphalans which after researching eats seedling roots or decaying organic matter..so they're essentially cleaning the medium..and they stay under the soil away from the light. She is pretty small and compact. I'm testing autoflowers as I've never tried them before. I'm slightly annoyed as I knocked my dimmer down to 60% without realising..so out it back to 100% and as a result I'm guessing she may have been stunted along with topping her twice or maybe it's just the strain. But I have seen other a lot bigger. But she is looking really healthy and has done from the start. The colour you see has been there from the start and she hasn't had any deficiencies. Tricones are coming along nicely and some of the sugar leaves look like they're starting to deplete in nutritients as they're going slightly yellow on the edges so not long. I'm guessing 2 more weeks from today but I wouldn't be surprised if she hits 13 weeks which is what I'm hoping for as her last feed was last week which would give her an extra week to 'flush'. Also the Bat Boost from Guanokalong has an NPK ratio of 0-10-0 and not 0-0-2 like it states. Next I'll be doing 2 x photoperiod Chocolopes 🍫 Thanks for stopping by - feel free to comment and follow - and I'll have another update next week!! 🤙

She’s a looker- and not showing any sign of slowing down as of yet. Took her out, checked for dried leaves on her interior and snapped a few photos.

Revegetation follows but slowly. The days are being difficult here in the southeastern coast of Brazil with temperatures of +35 degrees celsius and very low humidity - which I believe to be the main stress responsible for the slow process, since high humidity is fundamental at this stage, so I spend the days spraying a considerable amount of water to keep the plant fresh. Feeding is low in commonly used organic nutrients and plenty of watering to keep the soil wet. I have another plant of the same genetics also in a state of revegetation, but this one I made a light harvest and made it more whole and is developing very well. Soon I will put her diary and another plant that I picked considerably and could not revegetate because of this difficult humidity. Att Revegetação segue, porém lenta. Os dias estão sendo dificeis aqui no litoral sudeste do brasil com temperaturas de +35 graus celsius e humidade muita baixa - o que acredito ser o principal stresse responsavel pela lentidão do processo, visto que alta humidade é fundamental nessa fase, por isso passo os dias borrifando uma quantidade consideravel de água a fim de manter a planta fresca -. Alimentação segue em baixa quantidade de nutrientes organicos ja usado comumente e bastante rega para manter a terra molhada. Tenho outra planta da mesma genética também em estado de revegetação, porém essa eu fiz uma leve colheita e a deixei mais inteira e está se desenvolvendo muito bem. Breve colocarei o diário dela e de uma outra planta que colhi de maneira consideravel e não consegui revegetar por causa dessa dificil humidade. Att

So these girls are shorter than expected allthough the 2 girls are of decent height enough for me too flip along side my aptus fed girls. I have defoliate all areas that covers light getting too the lowers and also removed excess branching too focus energy towards the main tops also did this via a little lst 🌱 One of each plus an extra 412 so hopefully they stick through and make it too harvest which they look too be healthy so far. I will next defoliate on week 3 of flower and also remove excess plant matter taking up neccasary energy 🌱 Shogun is serving them well so fa! Lights will be 12/12 tonight Week 1 flower commences then Stay blessed 💚

* All plants had one feed last week with some PK soluble ( SODK one more feed this week). The rest of waterings are tap water with some microorganisms in. * No new deficiencies spotted (except stomper#1 & 2 from last week), PK gives us the last boost. * Buds progressing well with a lot of crystals, smells are medium and so glad about that, promising though after curing properly. * Lights at 35k - 40k Lux. * humidity 45% - 60%, temps 20C° - 25C°. * D53 --> Fixing the canopy with a bit more aggressive LST to all the plants, except the main stem of stomper #3 (the stressed one). * D56 -> Final day of week 8 and the most mature plant is the stomper#1 (the plant with the early LST and most affected by N toxicity in early stage. - Trichomes are looking like 10 days before harvest, letting the other 5 plants enjoy more light. Week 8 --> finished ✅

Growing in a organic composted 'super soil'. I was trying to add additional nutrients up until a few weeks ago when I noticed early signs of nutrient burn. Since the its been water only and she is doing great. Hope to harvest soon.

These Ladies are in bloom with popcorn on alot of the branches. Some branches are getting heavy with frosty Nugz but half of the plant is flowering at a slower pace. I noticed some powdery spots on some of my leaves this week. After some research I've decided to seek advice from the GD community vs relying on my own experience or trying methods that may negatively affect these beautiful plants. Feel free to chime in 🤔

I have little to add that I haven't already said. These plants in particular grew from start to finish in 0.50l pots, produced nearly a pound of wet grass and about 30 dry grass overall. Not much, but it was as I expected, the smaller the pot, the lower the yield.

To think people were telling me to chop her off because she looked deformed when she was young! glad I didn't listen to them as she turned out a beautiful plant! 100g of really nice dark purple bud. Really great strain, grew well without much care and produced really intresting looking buds.

The blueberry will be harvested 3 weeks before the death bubba. Luckily a friend will let me use his dry room. I’m thinking 2 more weeks and she will be ready. The death bubba is doing well but the one in the back that seemed to grow the fastest has been showing some deficiencies on the leaves

Así cumple su 11va semana de vida y 7ma semana en Floración, esta semana han habido cambios en el jardín ya que al fin pude adquirir un tent, muy contento puesto a que es lo suficientemente espacioso como para meter 6 planta. La Amnesia luce preciosa en el tent, los capullos están bien pesados y llenos de resina, tuve que amarrar los capullos principales dado a que el peso de los mismos se llevaban las ramas para abajo. En esta semana se regó una vez con fertilizantes, en la solución de riego se utilizó: 3ml Flora Gro, 4.5ml Flora Bloom, 3ml Flora Micro y 3ml MagiCal. La solución de riego marcó 515ppm y 6.0 PH.

Like my sisters in the box, I added Jungle Indabox PH Down nutrients to the girl to prevent soil acidification. The little girl grows beautifully, blooms are done everywhere. I continuously cut the leaves from the bottom. It just makes me happy. 😍

🗓️ Week 12 – Flower Week 8 ✅ (Late Flower) 🔹 General The plants have now entered deep late flower. Buds are gaining more density and resin, and the aroma is intensifying day by day. For Cherry MAC Muffin, fruity-sweet notes are becoming dominant 🍒✨ 🔹 Feeding After a longer phase of reduced EC, feeding has been increased again. Input: 1.65–2.0 EC / pH 6.3 Runoff has built up to ~3.0 EC, but remains stable – no signs of overfeeding or stress. No flushing yet – the final flush with Flawless Finish is planned in about a week 💧 🔹 Observations – Cherry MAC Muffin 🍒 Development: Densest buds in the tent, very sticky and frosty 📏 Runoff EC: 3.0 ✅ Status: No stress symptoms despite the high EC – watering frequency slightly reduced to maintain balance

Around 25g off no.3 pulled early due to spider mite making a comeback! No.1 started to rot at the top overdid the STS spray. No.2 is an absolute beast, lovely smell coming off it really impressed. Will not be doing el natural ever again definitely get alot more off topped and trained plants. Enormous bud though was what I was aiming for!

Hey there, fellow plant enthusiasts! It’s time for another exciting update on our magnificent P.C.R.s as they journey through their second week of flowering. Buckle up, because things are getting wild in the grow room! Our P.C.R.s are on a growth spurt like no other! They're reaching for the stars and filling up the entire room with their lush foliage and budding flowers. It's like a jungle in here, and I’m loving every minute of it! The energy in the room is electric, and you can practically feel the excitement buzzing in the air. With all this growth, our grow room is bursting at the seams! These plants are not messing around—they’re taking up every inch of space and demanding attention. It's like they're saying, "Look at us, we're the stars of the show!" And let me tell you, they're stealing the spotlight with their beauty and vigor. As we approach day 21, the anticipation for defoliation is real. But our P.C.R.s have other plans—they're playing hard to get! Despite their reluctance, I’m keeping a close eye on them and patiently waiting for the perfect moment to give them a little trim. After all, a little pruning goes a long way in ensuring optimal light penetration and airflow, leading to healthier and happier plants. Defoliation is like a mini makeover for our plants—it removes excess foliage, allowing more light to reach the lower buds and promoting better airflow throughout the canopy. This not only improves bud development but also reduces the risk of mold and pests. It's like giving our P.C.R.s a spa day—they come out looking refreshed and rejuvenated! Week 2 of flowering has been nothing short of exhilarating! Our P.C.R.s are growing like champs, filling the room with their vibrant energy and undeniable charm. While we wait for the perfect defoliation moment, we'll continue to shower them with love and attention, nurturing them every step of the way. Shout Outs A big shout out to @aptusholland for their incredible products that keep our plants thriving. And to the amazing community at Grow Diaries and all our followers, your support and enthusiasm fuel our passion for growing. Let's keep the green revolution going strong! Until next time, happy growing, and may your gardens be abundant and bountiful!

Right now the plant is doing good. She seems like she had slight deficiency on some of the fan leaves. I gave her good water of nutrients and recharge so she will be fine. Little budlets are everywhere. No purple yet. Was hoping I got a solid purple pheno. Well well see if she purps in the end. Stay tuned.
