Day 22, 01.05.2024 - Not much to do but to further guide Erika II by imposing LST for better light usage of lower leaves Day 23, 02.05.2024 - Again a slow day. Just put in some wooden pins to provide some more light to the lower leaves - soil is again getting bone dry. Since I only water with about 10% of the pot volume I think it might be time already tomorrow, maybe in the afternoon / evening - also raised the lights to ~30cm above canopies again - Erika II is catching up in height - maybe I can remove the lifting box in a couple of days Day 24, 03.05.2024 - decided to give the ladies some water inkl. a fertilizer cocktail (~500ml each) - bought a couple of longer wooden sticks to guide the leaves & branches. May install a scrog net just for better organization/ handling - removed 2 leaves in total - also I am now positive: Erika I is definitely going into flowering Day 25, 04.05.2024 - Erika II catched up to Erika I in height so I removed the lifting piece. Now both plants are leveled on top and bottom (more or less) - Decided to remove some leaves. I removed every leaf that a) pointed inwards plus b) covered other parts of the plant - soil is again getting dry. Thinking about watering them in the morning Day 26, 05.05.2024 - Gave a round of water & nutrition: 500ml each Day 27, 06.05.2024 - Judging from the timelapse of the past days (see video!) I recognized: 500ml each second day might not be enough (mind you: it is only ~10% of the pot volume). Also after feeding the growing seems to explode :D (I fed for example on 05.05., ~17:00 hours). So I decided to give another round of drinks this evening (400ml each inkl. Fertilizer) at 20:45 which is around 24h after the last feeding. - Just realized: I did not measure their heights in quite some time. At end of week 4 both are clocking in at 27cm from top of soil. - Both showing now that they are ladies clearly - so I declare "End of Veggie" Day. - Removed 1 small bud on the lower part of Erika II. Also removed 1 leaf at Erika I that pointed inwards & blocked light. - Raised the lights to match 30cm above canopies again Day 28, 07.05.2024 - not much to do but to watch the ladies explode in height: they gained about 4cm in 2 days :) - watering is going to happen tomorrow This day also concludes week 4.

The bruccies are continuing to mature, they are probably going to get harvested sometime in the next week. One has been on flush mode for about 5 days now, going to give it another 3 or 4. About to start the other one on flush once most pistils are orange. They are both chugging about 6 gallons each per week.

End of the third week of the stretch and they certain out did stretch indeed😳. Had to crop over the tallest female - she just stretched wayyy too much and that’s gonna go against her in the rankings when we draw out our seed on each plant. The first male has dropped fully and the others are another 1-2 days out from harvest. We’ll collect all that pollen and store it for future use if it’s needed. The plants are all showing both similarities and differences - there’s an even distribution of sativa and indica leaning phenos which suggests that there is def. Some variability in terms of traits for this F1 generation. Exactly what we were looking for as we pare this down to the second filial generation. On the overall growth - absolutely no issues at all with nutritional deficiencies which is a welcome change of pace. The last while we’ve been growing some strains that have shown very odd reactions to nute changes and I suspect this is a result of certain strains simply being bred out too far. Hard to say but the radar is definitely up with the well known breeders right now. We have some real winner pheno clones that we’ve rooted and will be flowering out once we get this tent cleaned up and free of pollen. All told, the run is progressing much better than anticipated and with the rate of turnover through transition, I’m happy to say that there isn’t any one plant I won’t consider test running on the next cycle. We did have some og auto genetics in the tent for pollination as well but that plant is looking like a bit of a mutant. Not sure if we’ll even bother with testing it at this point but you never know. Expect a harvest update on the males as we move in to the flowering side of the grow and then it’s just waiting around for seed👍. Alls well for now. Background This project has been a year in strain selection (and another year in the actual making) to get to this point with a viable potential cross. It’ll be a true polyhybrid with a mix of sativa and indica leaning properties for each. We’ve combined an especially powerful hybrid sativa strain of Strawberry with an equally manageable and hard hitting strain of indica dominant Skywalker OG. The hope has always been to combine them and boil out the best characteristics of each. The strawberry is phenomenal in terms of terp profile and a mix of strong head and body effects while the Skywalker is a mind bending, body butter kind of indica with that earthy Kush profile and flowery undertones. The strawberry is prone to botrytis and fasciation but features excellent terps and yields if grown correctly. She’s Also stretchy and somewhat unruly when she gets going. The Skywalker is a contrast in growth characteristics with a squat structure, medium sized buds and excellent resilience and resistance. The plan is to seed out the available females and take cuts of what we can post-stretch to get a closer look at any differing phenos. Still very much early stages for a stabilized new strain but we’ve got the right foundation of solid genetics. Now we just gotta get it off the ground to the next generation👍. We’re predominantly focused on the plants that demonstrate that hybrid vigour and wasting no time with any problem plants or runts. Stay tuned - with a little luck, this cross is gonna be straight 🔥😎👌.

This lady tends to stay small, but the she has quite a explosive veg time. She will not grow tall but she will produce many side branches that will continue side branches. There for the plants can be very leafy, and will produce unnecessary shadow that will block the canopy. Due to blocking of the canopy after the 5 first CM high chance useless pop corn bud will develop. So with this strain it is very important to train her wel and make sure the light can penetrate the lower branches aswel, if you want to have enjoyable sweet dense buds all of the plant and branches. Have a good grow!

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Today, I'm thrilled to share the grand finale of our journey with the remarkable Big Cheese Auto from Seeds Mafia. At day 81 from seed, she reached the pinnacle of her splendor, and the harvest was nothing short of spectacular. As I gently snipped each ripe bud, I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty and resilience of our Big Cheese Auto. From the moment she emerged as a seedling, she embodied strength, vigor, and an unwavering determination to flourish. Now, as she hangs upside down to dry for the next two weeks, I'm filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the privilege of witnessing her growth. Our journey with the Big Cheese Auto has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the excitement of germination to the meticulous care during vegetative growth, from the anticipation of flowering to the aromatic crescendo of the harvest, each phase has been a testament to the plant's resilience and the joy of cultivation. The journey began with a tiny seed, a promise of potential waiting to be fulfilled. With the nurturing support of the Autopot system and the guidance of Aptus Holland's nutrients, our Big Cheese Auto thrived, transforming into a botanical marvel with each passing week. From the emergence of her first true leaves to the explosion of trichome-rich buds, she captivated us at every turn. A heartfelt thank you to Seeds Mafia for providing the genetics that sparked this incredible journey. Your seeds have not only produced exceptional plants but have also inspired a community of passionate cultivators. Your dedication to quality and innovation is truly commendable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to cultivate such remarkable genetics. Before the trimming and curing process begins, I took the time to capture the beauty of our Big Cheese Auto in a special photo shoot. Each snapshot is a testament to her magnificence, a visual ode to the journey we've shared together. To the entire community, both near and far, thank you for accompanying me on this horticultural odyssey. Your support, encouragement, and shared passion for cultivation have made this journey all the more rewarding. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together!

Welcome back to the last flowering update week. My Unit Farm test light grow of the UF2000. My house strain has been flushing for last two weeks. Fading and deficiency signs are showing as they should. I will be updating a harvest video/pictures this week after I finish the two days of darkness in a few days. Plant smell wonderful as it has in past grows. The UF2000 light for 100 watts did good in my little test area. It did not have a breeze while growing, and temps were lower then my growing rooms. Not by a lot though. The UF2000 is a great light for the price. I will be continuing to use it, and recommend it if you are on a budget. I will be doing a test grow with the UF4000 in a few months, when I start my new photoperiods. Will likely add the UF2000 in the canopy with it at that time. Thanks again UNITFARMLED_Justin. Update: 3days after this post. Plant was harvested and hung to dry. Thank you grow diaries community for the support. The likes, and follows are greatly appreciated. Showing your support for fellow growers 🌱👍. Also would like to invite you to my YouTube channel for more cannabis related videos. Remember to smash that subscribe button. 😀 Happy growing everyone, and be safe out there.🌱🤜🤛

6th week started great, we can see flowers exploding even though the plants still remain compact and relatively short. This is the last week I'll provide booster Bloombastic, and gradually reduce also all the other BioBizz nuts dosages. The smell is getting pretty awesone and pungent, love it!! Any comment you might help, please do not hesitate to drop it, I'll gladly answer you awesome guys! As always, stay tuned stay high!

This lady is one hardy girl! Bud sites are already getting super dense and frosty. Bud sites sway from the shear weight like morning star maces. From the gentle breeze of my oscillating fans. This lady is gunna treat me good!. The feed I've had her on is still complimenting her greatly. So no need for a change there yet. But I did add 1.5 ml of atomic bloom to her usual fresh water feedings. Give her that little bit extra pk kicking. Just a fucking sexy plant and a dream to grow! I'm happy as shit with her. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

We are officially in full bloom. The have been enjoying 6-7 hours of sun light per day for about 4 days now, then brought back in under the cobs. The girls are all exploding with growth and stacking what I expect to be huge buds.

Bubble Kush is looking good. Hopefully, we are going to see some nice growth in the next week or 2. I've just been keeping the medium, not bone dry, but there were some fungus gnats. So I have let it dry out more than I usually would probably because I wanted to sprinkle some Diatomaceous Earth on the soil, and it only works once the soil is dry. Once the Diatomaceous Earth gets wet, it is no longer effective against insects. Other than that, the plant is looking really good. She seems to be enjoying the new 8 gallon container. I'm watering around the perimeter of the pot. Predominantly, to encourage the roots to grow into the pot. Also, to activate the soil and The Dry amendments. 31.7.25: I watered with 0.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0 with; 💜 1ml Trace PH: 6.0 PPM: 387 3.8.25: I watered with 0.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with; 💜 1ml Trace PH: 6.2 PPM: 371 4.8.25: I watered with 1L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6, containing the following nutrients; 💜 1ml Ecothrive Trace 💜 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.6 PPM: 385 Thanks for stopping by and hanging out 🙏💚✌️🌱😁
