Still not a drop of rain for the last 3 weeks, 26C daily, full sun, really exploding in growth these days. Gave her another soak of some local Kelp / Fish mix, also been spraying with Aloe / Neem / Kelp mix twice weekly. Responding well to very little nutes / water. Catepillers seem to have peaced out, this warm weather caused their population to explode, lettuce and other veg was also hurt, not normal. FIM recovery was very quick, I'll be fimming 3 top nodes this weekend, need to keep this height under control at this rate of growth.

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

They’re hungry and sucked up their second dose of heavy feed. But this time it’s the bloom solution. Sf2000 at full power! One plant has a clear genetics problem and I fear I’ll have to set my controls just to handle the good pheno and hope for the best with tiny Tim.

Looks like the girl on the right paused her flowering, vegged for a week and then started flowing again. An amazing plant.

Week 8: Flower - Tale of Two Phenotypes & Lessons Learned 🌿💜 Currently bumping: Payroll Giovanni - 580 Benz 🎵💰 The Phenotype Reality Check: Same strain, same environment, same nutrients—COMPLETELY different expressions. This is one of the most fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) parts of growing cannabis. Let's break down what's happening in the tent. Lemon Cherry (Left) - The Speed Runner 🏃‍♀️ She's moving FAST! While her purple sister takes her time, this phenotype is racing toward the finish line. Current Status: Bulking nicely with solid density Getting frosty - trichome production is strong Trichomes almost mature - surprisingly ahead of schedule! Harvest window: ~2 weeks out The Lollipopping Regret: Real talk—I lollipopped her early in flower, and now I'm second-guessing that decision. Looking at her sister with almost double the bud sites, it's clear I may have been too aggressive with the lower growth removal. Lesson Learned: Lollipopping can improve airflow and focus energy on top colas BUT removing too much means losing potential yield With autoflowers especially, sometimes it's better to let them do their thing Every bud site is potential weight—be conservative with removal The Silver Lining: The buds she DOES have are dense and frosty. Quality over quantity? We'll see at harvest! Lemon Cherry (Right) - The Purple Princess Takes Her Time 💜👑 She's SUPER purple and absolutely stunning, but she's on her own schedule—no rush, just vibes. Current Status: Progressing at a great rate (just not as fast as her sister) Color expression is PEAK - the purple is deep and vibrant Way more bud sites than Left (thanks to minimal pruning) Harvest window: Likely 3-4 weeks out The Phenotype Difference: This is a textbook example of phenotype variation: Left pheno: Fast-finishing, green, fewer but denser colas Right pheno: Slower maturation, purple expression, more bud sites Same genetics, different expressions. It's like siblings—same parents, totally different personalities. Bag Appeal Winner: The purple coloration combined with frost and more bud sites means this girl is going to be STUNNING in the final product. Worth the wait! Apple Fritter - The Dark Green Giant 🍏 She's doing well overall, though showing some signs of nitrogen excess from the organic feeding program. Current Status: Lower leaves super dark green - classic sign of excess nitrogen Not affecting bud development (thankfully!) Progressing well through flower Harvest window: ~2 weeks out (same timeline as Lemon Cherry Left) The Nitrogen Situation: Dark green, almost waxy-looking lower leaves indicate she got a bit heavy on the N during feedings. Why it's (mostly) okay: It's NOT causing nutrient lockout or deficiencies Buds are still developing normally Just a cosmetic issue at this point Common with organic amendments that release nitrogen over time What I'd do differently: Lighter on the Gaia All Purpose early flower, heavier on the bloom-specific amendments. Live and learn! Key Observations & Growing Wisdom Phenotype variation is REAL and unpredictable: Even from the same seed pack, you can get wildly different plants. This is why breeders hunt through hundreds of seeds to find "the one." Both Lemon Cherry phenotypes are good—just different. Lollipopping: Less can be more (sometimes): Seeing the bud site difference between the two Lemon Cherries is a powerful reminder that aggressive pruning isn't always the answer, especially with autoflowers. They have a limited vegetative phase—every growth site matters. Nitrogen in flower: Easy to overdo with organics: Organic amendments like Gaia All Purpose can release nitrogen longer than expected. During flower, less is more. Focus on P and K, dial back the N. Different finish times = staggered harvests: Having plants ready 2-4 weeks apart actually works out well: Manageable trimming workload (not all at once) Continuous supply of fresh flower More time to dial in drying/curing process Speed ≠ Quality: Lemon Cherry Left finishing faster doesn't make her better. Lemon Cherry Right taking her time might result in bigger yield and better bag appeal. Patience pays. The Growing Lesson Summary Phenotype hunting is real - expect variation even within the same strain Conservative pruning - especially with autos, let them keep bud sites Watch nitrogen in flower - dark green leaves mean dial it back Each plant teaches you something - these "mistakes" are actually valuable data Next Week's Plan Lemon Cherry Left & Apple Fritter (2 weeks out): Start monitoring trichomes closely Begin thinking about flush timing (if flushing) Watch for final swell and fade Prep trimming/drying station Lemon Cherry Right (3-4 weeks out): Continue current feeding program Let her take her time—she'll finish when she's ready Enjoy watching that purple get deeper More time = more weight and resin Post-Harvest Planning: Two harvests coming soon (Left + Apple Fritter) One more to follow (Right) Drying space ready Cure jars prepped Already thinking about the NEXT grow 🌱 Payroll Giovanni voice: "Different phenos, same hustle, purple flowers and that muscle..." 🎵💸 Week 8 wisdom: Every mistake is a lesson. Every difference is data. Every plant is a teacher. Keep the music playing and the garden growing! 📚🌿 Same strain, different personalities. That's the beauty (and chaos) of growing cannabis. Roll with it and learn! 💚✨

Song of the week : Joyner Lucas - I Love ------- Day 51 - She is outdoor since day 48 so she will now start to stretch 😀. The structure is nice but I broke the right side apex 2 days ago ( will try to clone it even if the apex is not the best part of the plant for a successful cloning ) , I hope that it will makes the right side more bushy than the left side. No feeding , only water but I will give her some MegaCrop soon. Stay tuned ------- Day 52 - 2L Feeding with Hybrids Powder + Calcium to support the stretch , I pinched the stems and made a clone with a little video to let you see how 😁👍 . Like you can see I did not used MegaCrop and I feed sooner than expected. ****** If you like the song of the week you can now listen to the whole playlist on my YouTube account ( each diary have a dedicate playlist)

Another problem free week she is looking great. Starting some clones, some in my d.i.y cloner using natural honey . & Some in a Seahawk professional cloner using clonex gel. They have Had similar results. About 12 days in honey & around 10-11 days in clonex, so I'll do another run of these NL now I have some clones👍

Woche 6 meines Indoor Cannabis Anbaus: Pflanzen: 2x Lemon Cherry Cookies, 1x Strawberry Banana, 1x Mimosa Cake , 1x CBD Auto Diese Woche lief eigentlich ganz gut. Ich hatte ein kleines Problem mit Trauermücken, aber dank meiner Klebefallen und etwas Neem Öl, habe ich das wieder im Griff. Die Strawberry Banana habe ich gut runtergebunden. Das hilft, damit das Licht besser verteilt wird und die Pflanze besser wächst. Die Lemon Cherry Cookies sind noch nicht so weit, weil ich sie später eingepflanzt habe. Ich habe sie noch nicht runtergebunden, aber das mache ich in den nächsten Wochen. Die Mimosa Cake und die CBD Auto entwickeln sich gut. Besonders freue ich mich über die CBD Auto. Sie hat sich wieder verbessert und die Blätter sehen wieder normal aus. Ich bin gespannt auf die nächsten Wochen und hoffe auf eine gute Ernte.

Tag 20: Alle 4 Pflanzen zeigen eine Vorblüte und sind dann schon in der Blüte. Tag 25: Aus Platzgründen musste ich 2 Pflanzen aussortieren. Habe mich für die beiden kräftigsten und gleichmäßigen entschieden.

Week 10, so from today I stopped watering the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and on Saturday no more light as well. Sunday is harvest day finally. Not much changed, I raised up the water with 25ml so the Purple Punch gets 200ml 2 x a day. That's all, since last week I started giving 13 hours darkness and 11 hours light and from Monday will be 12/12 after I harvested the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and I can use the tent only for her. Fertilization will happen on the same days. Sunday fun day, Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is harvested. Purple Punch left alone. From tomorrow I will switch the light schedule 12/12. End of the week Purple Punch is 43 cm.

Well we’re in the shit now that’s for sure. 10 weeks in to veg. A bunch of unruly plants that just want to flower, a delayed timeline on the clones, and the last harvest that’s screwing with the whole damn schedule 🤬. That’s the summary anyway. The strawberry is outdoors doing its thing and lookn great. The Lost Coast was up potted to a 15gal. And outside no more than 12 hours before a fuckin squirrel knocked a vase on top of the mainline - splitting the stem right to the medium. We taped it up and the plant looks like it’s gonna live but so much for the monster mainline we had planned. Now I t’ll be babying a stunted and injured runt all season🤬. The other plants inside are a running lesson in canopy management. The widow is unruly and had to be topped on all the current mains. The Skywalker is similar. The others are still lagging a little, primarily due to their indica leaning nature. The boogie nights might not be worthy of the indoor spot as she’s very small in comparison to the others. Time will tell here as I’m also still waiting on some materials for the eventual scrog net (thanks a lot covid) which could drag this out even longer. Clones started popp’n roots in the aerocloner on day ten🤟. It’s just more proof that even in less than ideal conditions, as long as you have a strong, mature cutting - its not a question of if, but simply a matter of when.😎😎😎 32% avg.
