Dec 12 @1am: Her light schedule was been bumped down to 14 hrs. I have a photoperiod in the tent that needs a few days for harvest. Haze is now under the 1000W Phlizon/245W power draw lighting. Dec 12 @2:30am: New pot has been amended with approximately 65% fresh coco coir, about 20% worm castings,15% perlite and 17 tablespoons/51 teaspoons (12.75 teaspoons per gallon) in a 4 gallon pot. The pot will be thoroughly rinsed to rid salts from the old coco coir used in the pot. Dec 12 @6pm: Approximately 1" tall Dec 12: I think my dog got ahold of one of her cotyledons, unless it just disappeared. :) Dec 14 @2am: Transplanted to the newly amended pot. I watered her and the fresh coco coir mix she was transplanted into. Dec 14 @11:30pm: Her lighting went from 14 hrs to 24 with both veg and bloom lights on. (Photoperiod in tent harvested)

The girls are really starting to fruit up, they have been on 10 scoops of flower food per week and this past week we added one scoop of flower finisher to the mix. Their feeding has been split into two days so as not to flood the plants with nutrients and burn the leaves. This means they still get their 10 scoops but in 5 scoop intervals. Watering has been every 2 days because of the 12/12 light schedule the soil doesn't dry out as quickly. The buds are getting massive on the White Widow plant, they are getting to be too heavy for the branches so I have begun to support the lower branches by tying them up to the main stem. I am using a plant wire so that as the plant moves and grows it isn't constricted. You can see the green supports in the newest pictures I uploaded. I also began thinning out the fan leaves so that all of the plants energy can be focused on the bud growth regions. I began removing the larger fan leaves that were blocking light to the bud regions. You can see how the plants are less bushy now. This should provide some low stress to the plants and boost bud production. Continued to thin out the fan leaves today. Made a lot of progress, now all of the bud sites should be receiving light. We also began a new fertilizer. I added a flower finisher into the mix with the Build A Bloom 2-10-5 flower food. Starting with just a 2 scoops mixed into the other flower food from pride lands. Cut down the pride lands scoops to 3 per serving to balance out with the new 2 scoops of flower food. This will keep me at 1 scoop per gallon of media per plant per week.

Hi guys we are officially in the 5th Week of Flowering :) Ladies enjoying their time, nothing looks bad or suspicious at least 😄 Still giving every 3rd day Nutes and almost watering every day huh, its quite warm and stinky in the Tent! Cookies and cream and Somango didnt really had stretch at all but their growing way faster than those Bubba kush plants! See ya next week

Easy week, with some photos under UV lights (i used a UV torchlight) make those girls look like corals. One or two more weeks to go.

Der Samen hat eine ganze Weile gebraucht bis er eine Wurzel ausbildete. Ich habe ihn 3 Tage der „Papertowel“ Methode gehabt, anschließend ein paar Stunden ins Wasserglas gelegt und danach wieder zwischen zwei kleine Teller in nasses Papier. Es dauerte 4 Tage bis ich ihn einpflanzen konnte. 2 Tage später hat sie das Licht der Welt erblickt. Dieses besteht aus einem der beiden Panels der 240 Watt Kingbrite LED Lampe. Anfangs auf einen PPFD Wert von 150-200, habe ich es jetzt nach einer Woche auf 600 erhöht, um zu schauen, wie sie darauf reagiert. Die meisten Autoflowers sehen nach einer Woche weiter aus und diese hier fing ziemlich an zu spargeln, daher probiere ich mit dem Licht noch etwas herum. Das ist mein erster Grow mit den Green House Feeding Bio Düngern. Ich habe einen Coco + Perlite Mix verwendet und die Düngerangaben halbiert. Green House Feeding empfiehlt 3 gr/Liter Medium BioGrow bei 8 Wochen Wachstum. BioBloom soll eigentlich kurz vor der Blüte oben in die Erde eingearbeitet werden. Ich habe beide Varianten mit je 1,5 gr/Liter von Anfang ins Medium gemischt, da Barney‘s Farm den Zyklus für die Runtz Auto mit ca. 70 Tagen angibt. Ich rechne mit ca. 20 Tagen Wachstumsphase und anschließend Blütezeit. Ob das die richtige Entscheidung war, wird sich zeigen. Ich hoffe einfach, dass sich die Nährstoffe langsam freisetzen und zur richtigen Zeit verfügbar sind, ohne zu überdüngen. Als Bewässerung kommt eine 12V Pumpe mit 7 l/Min. zum Einsatz. Hinter dieser ist ein Y-Ventil verbaut, um die Mengen zu kontrollieren. Auch hier probiere ich noch etwas. Kokos soll eigentlich nicht austrocknen. In dieser frühen Phase aber 2 Mal am Tag zu gießen, fühlt sich auch nicht richtig an. Das Wasser ist ständig in Bewegung und wird vor dem Gießen auf pH 5,8 eingepegelt. Bei der Bewässerung gibt es noch Potenzial zur Optimierung, da sich das Wasser nicht im ganzen Topf verteilen lässt. Hier werde ich wohl auf die anderen Optionen von Floraflex zurückgreifen. Für den Anfang reicht es jedoch. Mal sehen, wie sie sich entwickelt. Danke für die Aufmerksamkeit.

Ahoy, green comrades and Power Buds enthusiasts! Gather 'round for the Week 5 Veg Report, where the saga of Jelousy continues to unfold in all its leafy glory. This week has been nothing short of spectacular, filled with growth, joy, and a touch of botanical magic. Now, brace yourselves for the root revelation – it was a week of root madness! Jelousy's roots decided to throw a green party of their own, growing with such vigor and enthusiasm that I couldn't resist but give her a grand ticket to her final pot. Yes, folks, the time has come for our green companion to settle into her permanent botanical abode. Let's talk about the grand ceremony – the transplantation. As always, I employed the mystical Aptus Holland Mycor Mix to accompany Jelousy on her journey. This mix isn't just a sprinkle of magic; it's a symphony of beneficial microorganisms, working in harmony with the plant. During transplanting, the mycorrhizal fungi in the mix establish a connection with Jelousy's roots, creating a dynamic partnership. They extend the root system, enhancing nutrient and water absorption, while Jelousy graciously provides them with sugars. It's like setting up a botanical support system, ensuring our green companion has everything she needs to flourish in her new and final home. Now, let's talk about a little gardening finesse – defoliation. As Jelousy reached for the skies, I decided to give her a little grooming session. Removing some of the older, lower leaves not only allows for better light penetration but also encourages the plant to focus its energy on the growing tips. It's like giving our green friend a botanical spa day, where she can channel her energy into the areas that truly matter. But wait, there's more! I couldn't resist taking a few clones. It's like preserving a piece of Jelousy's green magic for the future. Who knows, maybe we'll have a whole family of Jelousies thriving in the garden. And speaking of the garden, we've welcomed a new member – a little Buddha acting as the guardian of our growing oasis. He stands tall, radiating tranquility and showering blessings upon our flourishing green kingdom. He seems to be particularly fond of the tree growing beside him – our very own Jelousy. It's like having a silent guardian, watching over the botanical wonders unfolding. As we revel in the beauty of Week 5, let's extend our gratitude to Zamnesia and Plagron for guiding us through this enchanting journey. Their support is the wind beneath our leaves, propelling us toward horticultural greatness. A nod of appreciation to the vibrant Grow Diaries community – your shared passion and wisdom continue to enrich our collective knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to thrive, and may the joy of cultivation accompany you through every green endeavor. Here's to a week of roots finding their home, leaves reaching for the heavens, and the garden flourishing under the watchful eye of our Buddha guardian. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of .

: This week there hasn’t been much change; everything is progressing steadily. I continue to follow the BioBizz feeding schedule carefully, making sure to always adjust the pH of the water between 6.3 and 6.5 to keep the plants in their optimal range. I carried out some defoliation to improve airflow and prevent humidity build-up, which is especially important given the limited space available in the grow tent. The light has been set to maximum intensity to give the plants all the energy they need for flowering. At this stage, there’s not much else to do except remain patient and wait for the buds to fatten up into large, healthy colas.

~FastBuds Tropicana Cookies~ This was my first time running this FastBuds strain, along with my first attempt at 'hydroponic' growing using the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I cultivated three plants from seed to finish in just over 70 days growing in a 70/30 Coco/Perlite mix coupled with a layer of straight Perlite in the bottom of the fabric pots to ensure drainage and fed Plagron nutrients for the entire run with the exception of a 10 day flush at the end. Among those three cultivars, I had three distinctly different phenotypes. The #1 plant grew short and extremely bushy, with beautiful thick purple flowers, showing more Indica like traits. The #2 plant, which was the only one of the three that was topped, stretched her 'legs' and grew fairly tall in comparison to the #1. She also lacked the deep purple coloration of the #1, having just hints of light lavender in her flowers which were stacked tightly and completely frosted over with glistening trichomes! Lastly, the #3 phenotype grew the tallest of the bunch with wide, 'Sativa-like', node spacing. She was the one that experienced several issues during the grow, but finished out not looking too bad with a super dark purple coloration to her flowers that almost appears black. That dark purple color, coupled with her dark orange pistils give her flowers extra eye appeal! FastBuds Tropicana Cookies Auto was a very easy to cultivate strain and produced really spectacular results all things considered. I'll definitely be looking forward to running this one again in a 100% organic grow and can't wait to the results from that! 😎👍 Now let me move on the the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I was sponsored this system in return for my feedback on it shared through my Social Media accounts. On paper, this looks like a really great product, and I'm sure with enough time and experience you could get optimal results from using it, but for me that just was not the case. The initial setup went very smoothly, GrowAce's AirCube System looks to be extremely well made, comes with fairly clear instructions, and went together easily. I did add hose clamps to all the fittings attached to hoses for an extra measure of insurance against leaks (no one needs 20+gallons flooding the grow room!) and also placed the reservoir and 'brain bucket' outside of my 4x4 which allowed me to place all six AirCube pots in the tent, and yes it ended up being a bit too tight for me... it probably would work better with 3 plants or less in a 4x4. So lets get in to my pluses and minuses in my opinion for the GrowAce AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System: Positives: • Well made • Easy to assemble • Easy to understand instructions and lots of 'how to' media available • Easily expandable Negatives: • Not for novices, previous hydroponic growing experience needed • No way to control solution temperature in reservoir • Roots growing out of the fabric pots end up dying and rotting which results in a ton of debris in the solution necessitating draining/cleaning/refilling the system every 4-5 days • No way to adjust nutrient levels for individual plants, they all get the same PPM like it or not. • Requires having all plants start together, and finish together as there is no way to flush individual plants. • Lastly, I like to turn my plants, which is impossible and also to photograph them which is difficult with this setup. All in all, I enjoyed the experience of 'hydro' growing, but am ready to get back to what I really LOVE to do which is 100% organic grows... Stay tuned fam!

Soaked 7.27 for 36ishhrs, into paper towel for 12 hrs then into a solo cup with greentree garden supply pro ultra (coco/perlite). First feed was a diluted leftover feed from my other auto youngins. Basically about 1 ml/g of grow, 7ml/g humid acid, 1ml/g more roots, 1ml/g orca, cannazyme, hydroguard and a sprinkle of living organics in the nutes and on the top of the coco. Usually the ppm will be higher than I want it so I just dilute with r/o water until I'm down to 200-250. It makes it so I cant be accurate on ratios so that's why I'm tellin ya, but it's how I always do it no matter what nutes I use. This seed is also 3 years old like the pineapple Express.

This one is going to be weirdly exciting like all grows… but nothing beats growing strain you know nothing about down to to it’s ID. This is why this diary is dubbed Unknown Strain, and a lot more journals will be dubbed unknown strain. eg. Unknown Strain #1 - these strains are seeds I’ve collected and forgot to catalogue Unknown Strain (dealer/grow name #1) - I have it this way,to indicate where or from whom did I get the seed, but failed to get the accurate information regarding the strain. Alike this particular diary. I received seeds from my friend saplug16.20_exotic_genetics. Check out his work on instagram, his my mentor in growing. But I go overboard when it comes to growing. Ever since I’ve seen YouTube videos of growers growing weed plants like bonsais, I started growing my plants like I am growing actual bonsais, LST them in shapes and size while using defoliation and topping to achieve aesthetics. This type of growing is not focused on yield more for the hobbyist who grows for themselves and close friends. But I want to see if I can get more yield with this type of growing bud.

Soddisfatto del mio lavoro? SI ASSOLUTAMENTE SI . Questa è la mia prima esperienza nel campo della coltivazione della cannabis e sono veramente contento del risultato, ma non devo cantare vittoria troppo presto adesso manca la seccatura e la concia speriamo bene ahahah 🤣

Week 11😎 This mutant by the way is huge , unlucky its mutant😭 I will use flowers to make kief so i will freeze them after drying process. More or less 1 week and harvest PH 6.8 PPM 200

Shiny, sparkly buds. Can’t wait to trim them up!

Beginning of week 3 and I have selected the 4 best plants out of the 6. Those 4 plants have been repotted into Freedom Farms 20l fabric pots with the same FF Formula 1 premixed soil. These plants have been placed into another tent with the 400W MH to finish vegging.

Struggled alot with this gal I snapped her I burned her with the dots but overall she prevailed to some pretty bud so I'm happy overall

So cut of a few bud sites that were too low or under the net. I also had some nutrient problems with the FBA2504 shes more hungry then the other 2 plants but that should be sorted out by now, or at least thats what I hope.😅😂 Also I wanted to mention that the terps on the FBA2504 give me some Super Lemon Haze vibes and shes also looking like a sativa dominant strain so who knows maybe I got 4 Haze crossings in my tent rn🔥. Purple Haze seems to be the fastest out of the 3 she is a fast one for sure. The Frostbanger has some purple pistils forming.

looking good the 2nd week into flower, added some more uptake acids and some bloom top dressing along with a banana tea recipe that I have recently created. Seems to be working well. I basically just added banana peels to my microbe tea brew and I no longer use fish shit because it is high in N and that is what we really do not need right now.

Amazing experience with the Mix Pack, I will try it again next summer for sure. Love the variety.
