5 years later putting some closure to this diary. The reason I stopped it 5 years ago is because of where I lived and thought I was going to get In trouble. Was able to go back and find the photos for this plant when harvested. Really enjoyed growing this and was one of my favorite highs I’ve ever grown. Got so high on it had to go to the ER one night LOL. God bless everyone!

I turned off one of the mars panels. My garden isn't big enough to need that much light. So I just have the hlg65 and 1 mars panel going. This girl drinks like crazy. And she is quick to droop her leaves to tell you she's thirsty. Grow a lot in the past week. This will be the biggest autoflower I have grown so far.

crazy week found drain gnats which explains the green hue of some of my plants the larve are attacking the roots raising the p.h. and the diffecencies are showing in the leaves being lighter and or brown dots on the leaves. using mosquito dunks and spraying neem oil washing the roots to help these ladies out. also im doing things different with the soil vs dwc, i havent done much if any defoliating with potted plants just letting them grow only mainlined once and since in flower very light if any defoliating. any questions comments information feel free to ask or inform im open to critque

Day 36 - Starting week 6 and can’t really complain. She does have a couple funky leaves but just a few and probably from me dripping nutrient rich water on them but she’s looking nice and healthy overall so saying this week is the start of flowering. She stretched almost a full inch over the last 24 hours and really looking forward to watching the buds develop. Day 37 - She’s still doing a bit of stretching but pistils are shooting out like fireworks. She’s definitely going to be needing some more water tomorrow and did some leaf tucking tonight. Day 38 - Decided to hold off on watering and feeding for another day or two. She still didn’t seem quite dry enough to don’t want to push it. Re-tucked some leaves and will check things out tomorrow. Day 39 - Gave her a gallon of water and nutes today and there’s not much I can complain about right now. She’s budding up nicely and looking like when all is said and done, it should be a good harvest. Not much of a smell coming from her right now but still looking good overall. Day 40 - I turned on the second light in the tent to help pick the temps up a little bit and all of a sudden growth on all the gurls exploded. Just took some pics for progress and readjusted everything and tucked the leaves a bit more. Day 41 - She’s still doing some stretching and really budding up nicely. I ended up removing a couple more fan leaves so keep things open. Will probably need to give her some water on Tuesday. Day 42 - The end of week 6 and she’s doing great. Nothing else new to report and just updating some pictures. She’ll get some water and nutes tomorrow.

Trichomes mostly milky, a few clear. 1 more week.

This strain is very heterozygous. 4 seeds were started. The 4 phenos were very different. I saved 2 of those phenos for my arsenal, which is quite exceptionnal. I ususally save just one pheno from a strain. The Pheno #1 was mainly sativa (75%). Long branches. Lots of fluffy buds. The more resistant to mold, but it has to be with the fluffiness. The taste was cheesy and spicy, which has nothing to see with the 3 other phenos. Not a single ressemblance with ak-47 parents as well. It shares the musky undertones of the strain, but nothing else. That pheno is gone. Not enough potential. Terpene profile was deceiving, just as the cannabinoid content. The Pheno #2 has more indica in it (45% indica). robust and tall plant with dense heavy buds. No mold resistance at all. Biggest producer. The taste was earthy and musky with hints of wood. That pheno is gone. Not enough potential. The Pheno #3 is my favorite one. It reminded me of the good old Ak-47, with her flowery/sweet/skunky smell and taste. Pure nostalgia! Tall and quite robust plant with huge fluffy buds coated with trichomes. She grows pretty similar to Lemon Skunk if you know the reference. Great producer of top quality buds. So sticky! In my top 3 sativa for 2 years. The aroma is very close to the old school Ak-47: sweet, flowery and skunky. It tastes like sweet lemon on the inhale, with a sharp touch of spicy lavender and earth on the exhale. IMO, that is the pheno we want to save from that heterozygous strain. Backcrossing this one would be a very good idea. The Pheno #4 is just as interesting as my favorite #3. The only issue with this one is about mold resistance. Crazy compact and heavy budst! One of the most productive I’ve ever seen too. More traits of the Ak-47 in the aromatic profile, but nothing like the #3. On the structure side, we can immediately recognize the sturdy and bushy structure of Ak-47. THC content is very high too. I suspect the CBD content to be high as well. The effect is a mood elevation, with good focus and a deep body relaxation; a bit similar to what White widow does. The aroma is earthy and pungent. Very skunky and musky. It tastes very sweet and earthy on the inhale, with hints of skunk on the exhale. That pheno #4 expresses the best traits of the Ak-47 in its structure, while pheno #3 kept the aromatic profile.

Day 60 Not happy with the buds. They are to small in my opinion and I don’t know how to improve on that problem. I have decided to flush with water and measure the runoff ppm because I think I was overfeeding Day 64 Don’t know why the leaves turn yellow, gave them a bit more nitrogen & cal-mag color was a bit better yesterday but today they start turning yellow again

Have harvested her on November 3rd and now she is drying. Will later add the result of the dry weight. When smoked i will give the final resukt of stars. Have weighted her after it dried and the result was 78g. So i will add 300 as wet weight (80 x 4=320)(I think 300 to 400 is a good range). A final smoke test will be made in 2 weeks or so, but she has a lot oft potence.

Sooo, about three and a half weeks have passed since the last update - she should be around week 3.5 of flowering by now, and goddamn, I’m stunned, bro. I had some medical PM a few months ago, and the smell already reminds me so much of it. It’s also the stickiest stuff I’ve grown so far, and she’s not even halfway through flowering yet.

They are all showing preflower and chugging along nicely.

d.79. done alittle lst in order to get some of the colas away from the hot zone.. gotta be creative when it all grows too close to the light 😅. big lady she is and really smelly nice!. also

Thank you so much Molly and Heather and all of the fast boats team for giving me the opportunity and setting this up for me so I can have some of the best genetics in my garden ztrawberriez auto Is an absolutely beautiful plant. I recommend it for everyone.🔥💯

Compost tea turned out well and if your curious about the microscopy, check the comments on my GMP grow. No signs of senescence yet so no feed needed, they are in a second run of the same soil so there should be plenty in there from before. Not very resinous or smelly, with weird wide stumpy buds. Definitely my least fav pheno of any plant I've grown so far, but it's the end product we're after so she may yet surprise.

The Sour Diesel is definitely in need of some nuts, came back from my 2 weeks vacation and it's looking a little too light for my taste . Will be feeding it some flowering mix pretty soon

Decided to take these down after a 10 day flush looked nice and ready didnt do a harvest yet because im waiting till its ready to give a harvest report on took her out of the net she was a bit floppy as the net was supporting her she stunk to high heavens and was really sticky got some nice finger hash and will be using the trim to make bubble hash .trichomes were id say 60%milky 40%amber just about right shes not a huge coala plant shes a more small high quality yielder has some nice colours coming through on edges purpley brownish tinges didn't take a wet weight as the whole thing is hung.put some pics up of the difference between fabric pots and plastic pots and the difference in the end with the fabric u can see there is no root circulation and with the plastic they are nearly root bound .Had a great time growing along with you guys here at growdiaries cant wait to taste and do a harvest report for you guys thanks for reading happy growing
