Growing it was quite a journey. Since I had a lot of changes in my life, I couldn't take the time I wanted to make a good diary, but I still managed to take some pictures. I had some problems since I changed the size of my pots and didn't use LST. One plant grew so tall that it went above the LED, and other plants were too close to the LED. Using three 20L pots in a 60cm x 60cm space was too much; they didn't have enough room. For the next grow, I'll use only two pots and employ SCROG and LST

Surprised by how well the water is wicked to the medium from the water bottle, it took a long time, but wick works as intended. I was unsure how much if any nutrient would be transferred via wick but the high salt content altered pH at certain parts. Right before the symptoms arose I decided to supercrop the stem top to bottom on one plant, shortly thereafter the burning happened from the same plant from running 8.0 pH, and nutrient uptake ground to a halt on the plant that was dealing with stress. She doesn't seem happy. Remedied with aluminum sulfate, things seem to be coming back to normal. I need to be more careful with salts. I need MOAR knowledge. How many weeks shall we veg? Going to take a while to fill that canopy with just two plants, should probably start topping now but I'll wait until pH problem Is remedied first, a couple more days hopefully ๐Ÿ™. I defoliated maybe 6 bigger leaves that had burned yellow on one plant, as it comes back to optimal range, this will be a good opportunity to observe the subtle differences that early defoliation can make. Added a pound of tourmaline powder and biochar, both increase soil urease and invertase activities. *2025 Didn't charge the biochar skewing my ph drastically. Urease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into CO2 and NH3 and is a key component in the nitrogen cycle in soils. Invertase (d-fructofuranosidfructohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.26) is the enzyme that capable both break down ฮฑ-1,4-glycosidic linkage between d-glucose and d-fructose of sucrose and transferring ฮฑฮฒ-D-O-fructofuranoside residue to an acceptor substrate (Toledo et al., 2019). Since tourmaline is widely distributed in the natural environment and has many excellent physical and chemical properties including radiating far infrared energy, permanently releasing negative ions, producing an electrostatic field, releasing rare microelements, and stimulating the growth and metabolism of microorganisms and plants, tourmaline had been conducted to alleviate potential environmental pollution. Perfect for how much seaweed I've added just incase.

This is the beginning of each week. So I flushed them and switched nutrients. They were mag deficient, nitro toxic. Not PH actually. I'm adding co2 next week after I seal the room. I think I need to back the PAR down to 800 but they are still alive and it's over half way done. How any more weeks? I thought this was a 65 day auto. Hydro in a 5 gallon pot could add up to three weeks I heard with Autos. could these go 12 weeks total?

Absolutely stunning grow to watch! Smells like a bowl of sweet tropical fruit.

Day 64: Second Grow Weโ€™re now in the fifth week of the flowering stage, and the buds are getting thicker by the day. Weโ€™ve decided to order a microscope to keep a closer eye on the trichome development. Additionally, weโ€™re considering ordering CANNAZYM, a nutrient that could help our buds grow even bigger and healthier. Hereโ€™s to another week of growth and progress!!

I continue to see yellow leaves and cannot figure out the root of it. I can't tell if its a nutrient deficiency or a PH issue, if the nutrients that I add do no suffice then I will go get some PH down, as my soil PH is slightly high at 7.0, but I would not believe that could be the cause of it, only time will tell. To end on a more positive note, even with some yellow leaves some of these plants are bursting with life, and starting the 3rd week with some monster leaves for such a young plant. *UPDATE* We are now currently near the end of the weeks and the plants are beginning to truly thrive with some nice stalks and an explosion of colas. The yellowing seemed to stop now that I give it a regular supply of nutrients, also trimmed off any excessively yellow leaves. I did some very light pruning as well to allow more light to the newer colas and may have accidentally topped to runt plant way too early haha whoops so lets just hope for the best for the little guy.

Day 29 of flower and I couldnโ€™t be happier with the way sheโ€™s coming together. The real magic should start this week and she should start to fill out. Everything is stating to connect and I pulled some branches apart to make sure there was ample light and air to every part. So far my favorite auto to date.

Last week, my pound cake auto plant totally exploded with growth! It's insane how much it's changed. I swear it grew several inches overnight. The leaves are this gorgeous shade of green, and the whole thing looks super healthy and happy. I'm seriously so proud of my little plant baby.

Outdoors ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒž I usually don't do much on the plants, just let them grow, take care of them a bit and admire them. I am very surprised with the result, especially #3, some nice sticky buds ๐ŸŒฒโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ, #2 is also correct, #1 the smallest, gave little fruit but lots of leaves. If the weather had been better the first 2 growth week the harvest would have been a little better, but compared to my previous outdoor grow I am very happy with the result ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜, I expected much less. ๐Ÿ‘‰Thanks community for the support, likes, comments and follows, it's always a pleasure my friends ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’• ๐Ÿ‘‰Thanks to @Sweet_Seeds ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’• for the seeds gift spend Halloween contest ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡ https://sweetseeds.es/en/autoflowering-seeds/3188-bruce-banner-auto.html

Just hit day 10 of flower this net has about 20% touching the 2nd trellis. And about 70% almost touching. The Saskatoon Berry plants are very close node spacing. The bud formations are already prevalent.

Hello everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹ She grew fast and with a beautiful green colour on the leaves! She has responded superbly to low stress training and topping & i defoliated her aswell and seems didn't even notice ๐Ÿ˜Ž Wish you all a good day and happy growing ๐Ÿ˜

These girls are just days away from harvest! I will closely monitor their pistils, calyxes & trichomes throughout the week so I can determine exactly when to give these girls their two days darkness before chop! They are all starting to fade out really nice and the smell just keeps getting stronger each and every day! After this last feed/flush I will only give these girls R/O-Distilled Water with nothing added whatsoever. Please enjoy the videos I posted of the girls! Thought Iโ€™d add some music to the videos vs loud condenser microphone picking up fans ๐Ÿคฃ Only videos for now, I will post actual pictures and macro shots throughout the week before harvest. Update: 9/7 The pistils and trichomes are about right where I want them. Iโ€™d say I have about 90% Cloudy, 7% Clear & 3% Amber Trichomes. A majority of pistils have gone from white to amber and have retracted. The girls have stopped drinking water so I transferred them to my darkroom to finish off for two days. After the two days I will chop and hang at 67ยฐF @ 55%RH for 8-10 days until the stems begin to snap.

We are on Day 36 of Flower and going strong! As we are coming to the final weeks of flower, these buds are still immature but are definitely going to be maturing well. Word to the wise, at this stage in the fame you gotta check your plants DAILY (or you might have some unexpected droop ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…). Surprisingly we are only watering every other day. I think the Mycorrhizae and the biochar in this soil mix are helping me out a lot here. Overall feeling really good about this plant. The feedings look fine and she is looking very healthy. Here's hoping for a great rest of flower. Cheers til next time -DJ sunstone

All looks good with this freak, starting to get big. Has more than doubled in size in 10 days, think I might have upped the feed a bit soon and got a bit of nute burn so back down a bit and seems to be fine. Gonna have to thin her out a bit as she is hella bushy. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ
