🌱 Week 3, Day 7 Update: Buds Are Blooming! 🌿 Hey Grow Fam, We're cruising through Week 3, and my girl is really coming on—buds are starting to form, and it's a sight to behold! The girl is growing so fast now, drinking 4.5L a day. She could even do with in-between waterings, in my opinion. She's aiming for the stars and shooting for the moon, getting bigger every day and stinking out my room. I had to tie my light higher up with some rope as it wouldn't go any higher, and shoots were getting way too close! I did SCROG when flipping, and I should've been a bit more strict on it (did it longer), but now I realize why SCROG is used. Imagine if I never used it—she would be way too tall. Overall, I'm so happy with how she is growing and can't wait to see the final product. :) But, as with any journey, we've hit a little bump in the road. Despite keeping our feeding consistent at 850ppm, the runoff readings have been creeping up. Last check-in showed a runoff of 1400ppm. It's got me thinking we might be dealing with a salt buildup in the root zone. To address this, I'm sticking with our feeding routine at 800-850ppm. If the runoff ppm keeps climbing or if our plants start showing signs of nutrient burn, I will adjust accordingly, but as of right now, I'm sticking to the same feed as she looks great! ( If I do begin to notice signs of nutrient burn (excess), I will try to water with a lower EC/PPM, like 700ppms, to bring it down. But if I don't get the results I'm hoping for, I will just flush the plant with 3x the media size of water (just plain pH water) to wash out any old salts and reset the medium. You don't really want to do this with coco depending on what stage your at in flower, veg on the other hand flush.? Sure!, if you really need to reset that medium go for it, (i do see tiny signs of burn but thats fine if it gets worse then i have a problem) Let's stay focused and keep our eyes on the prize—beautiful healthy buds. We've got this! #GrowUpdate #Week3 #BudsBlooming #KeepGrowing 🌱🌿

hi everyone , I started flushing them this week :/ I know that they would usually need some more weeks but I simply underestimated the spider mites 😒 all my lower buds are covered already and they slowly working their way up ... the beneficial insects (predatory mites ) came to late , I should have ordered them at least 2-3 weeks ago .. from now on I will put some in as prevention the next time I put plants from my garden in my tent. they smell pretty good so far and I will still get something out of it ... also I safed clones from every plant ;) ... so nothing really lost here but time ^^ I will cut them next week and hope the mites will stay put till then xD happy growing everyone

What I thought to be a cal deficiency at first glance appears to be rust fungus or leaf septoria, but nothing rubs off of the spots, which confuses me. I freaked out and tore the hell out of the plant my buddy left on my doorstep, stripped all the freakin spotted leaves. I'm hesitant to toss it, dont know why, I did notice spots on 2 other plants, barely, bastard being one of them. Ill be keeping a great hawk eye on them, ready to pluck anything I notice with a rust spot or toss that one plant out of there if I see too much appear. I need to grab some neem oil as well. Maybe I shouldn't run the tent sealed anymore, as I think it could be a big reason for the fungus. I never let humidity get over 60 and I had pretty decent air movement, but they are squeezed in there. I'm freaking scared. Nothing rubs off these spots. My run off PH has been low which makes me think calcium still. Guess I'll do some big-time flushing. Flushed all with 6.8 water until run off reached 6.5, roughly 10-12 gallons each. I'll l feed them tomorrow. Usually, I flush around day 45. I was trying to see if i could get away without doing so, with that scrog n all. Whew, I was trippin out there there, after reading n shit I got thinking the worst, should've stuck with my original diagnosis. I'm sure they'll be ok.👍 Zipper broke off the tent the other night, so it's now "sealed" with a red blanket🤣

Esa familia , ya va quedando menos para cortar estas hermanitas skunk de Zambezaseeds, tienen algo de sobre fertilización de las últimas semanas pero llevamos solo agua 2 semanas. Ph regulado en 6,5 . Humedad por debajo del 40% , temperatura algo alta al trabajar con sodio pues en esta época sube vaya. Así que esto tenemos y las flores se ven bastante compactas. Nos vemos la semana que viene fumetillas.

The Apple Betty babies are doing great 😊 I’m very pleased with the results so far, I just wished I would have known they would have such a large stretch, they D almost doubled in size in 14 days. At day 8 I stopped tucking the branches and allowed them to grow up. In hindsight, I probably should have kept going for another couple of days. They continued to stretch rapidly all the way up to date 12 or so, much more than my other strain that I have going as well. At day 10 I cleaned up some of the small bud sites and leaves that were below the 1st trellis. These sites do not get enough light to make anything good, and take away energy from the main tops as they grow and compete. A quick snip here and there will really help the end result. At day 13 I decided to add a second trellis net to provide support to the tops that came up so fast. They seem to have stopped their main stretch faze, and are looking happy and healthy now. I’ve continued my water, water, feed schedule and have not seen any cause for concern. The girls are taking a little over a gallon of water every 72 hours at this point. Humidity is being controlled automatically with my in-line fan and humidifier. RH is set to 57% and temps hover between 77-80 degrees with lights on, and about 70-72 with light off thanks to my furnace being back on for the cooler temps. The 2x4 5 gallon girl is doing great as well. 😊During the stretch, she flourished just as the girls in my big tent did as well. She is going to have some great bud, the branch structure is nicely developed with tight node spacing and large tops. I’ve been plucking off all the lower growth, and tucking leaves as they block bud sites. I will be doing a defoliation next week. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Buds poppin' off nicely. Rigged up some bamboo skewers to spread the canopy. Scent's a wild mix - citrus vibes with that diesel kick. Like fuel-soaked shop rags, no joke. Word is this strain ain't a monster yielder, but don't sleep on it. Sometimes the lowkey ones surprise you. Can't wait to see how she turns out. Gonna be fire.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Week 10 Marvel: Cherry Cola's Pruned Elegance and Floral Splendor Greetings, fellow cultivators! We've reached the remarkable milestone of Week 10 in the Cherry Cola Auto journey, and the tent is a painting of botanical wonders. Week 5 of the flowering stage has unveiled a need for a strategic defoliation, and our green queen has undergone a meticulous pruning process. Let's delve into the details of this transformative week. As we navigate through Week 5 of the flowering stage, the Cherry Cola Auto is a testament to the magic of autoflower cultivation. The buds are evolving, and the tent is permeated with the tantalizing aroma of a promising harvest. The journey thus far has been a delight, and the best is yet to come. In response to the flourishing canopy and to optimize light penetration, a strategic defoliation became imperative. The decision to remove excess foliage was not only about enhancing light exposure to critical bud sites but also promoting better airflow and reducing the risk of potential mold or pest issues. The defoliation process involved removing larger fan leaves, allowing the lower branches to receive their fair share of light. In addition to defoliation, a meticulous bottom cleaning ritual took place. Removing the lower, less productive growth not only redirects energy to more crucial upper buds but also eliminates potential sites for moisture retention and pest harborage. This step is crucial in maintaining a healthy, well-ventilated environment as we approach the final weeks of flowering. The defoliation and bottom cleaning were conducted with surgical precision. It's not just about removing leaves; it's a delicate dance of preserving the plant's natural grace while maximizing its potential. The result is a pruned elegance that showcases the structural beauty of Cherry Cola's budding architecture. Our nutrient regimen, with P-Boost, Topbooster, and the strategic addition of Potassium (K), continues to be the backbone of this flourishing spectacle. The phosphorus boost and organic grace provided by Topbooster, combined with the potassium magic, are orchestrating a symphony of blooming processes that bode well for the upcoming harvest. The TDS reading, now at 550, reflects the balanced nutrient environment, ensuring the plant's nutritional needs are met. Maintaining an ideal pH balance of 6.4 ensures that the nutrients are readily available to the plant. This harmony in pH contributes to optimal nutrient absorption and supports the overall health and vigor of our Cherry Cola Auto. As we prune and nurture, the tent is filled with an aroma extravaganza. Cherry Cola's terpene profile is becoming more pronounced, promising a sensory delight in the final product. The olfactory journey is a precursor to the flavors and effects that await. As Week 10 unfolds, Cherry Cola Auto stands as a pruned prelude to harvest, a testament to the meticulous care and strategic decisions throughout the journey. The mood is set for the final act, and we eagerly anticipate the culmination of this horticultural odyssey. Stay tuned, fellow enthusiasts, as the Cherry Cola Chronicles approach their grand finale! Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_ Love, Care, and Attention: @dogdoctorofficial As always, thank you all for joining me on this journey, for your love, and for it all. My horticultural odyssey would never be the same without you. Your love and support are cherished, and I feel both honored and blessed to have you in my life Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love To you All 💚 💚 💚

Tout se passe bien,encore tres gourmande en eau les fleurs s'épanouissent doucement. 🧑‍🌾 J'ai ajusté les nutriments de chez Bio Nova, et je guette le moment où je vais commencer à fortement engraisser les buds en P et K. ⚗️ Je vais defollier 🍃légèrement pour d'ici peu, pour favoriser la lumière sur les têtes.

End of week 2 of flower - Everything is running smoothly after installing my AC Infinity inline fan the environment has been extra easy to keep under control. The smell is getting stronger by the day and the ladies are fattening up nicely, especially my Purple Lemonade from FastBuds she doesn’t seem to be showing a lot of purple which I was really hoping for and she is also the fastest flowering plant in my grow. All the other plants were selected to have a longer flowering period. I defoliated slightly.
