Tropicana cookies finally finished.l, She smells amazing. Cookie dough, peanut butter, and earth. She's showed her dark purple colors the last few weeks. The purple is so dark it's almost black. But mixed with a bright green she is a Beauty to look at. Week 11 harvest weight 77gs dry. She tasted like peanut butter cookies with a little twist. Week 14 harvest 62.3 Gs Total weight 139 Flush vs no Flush I personally liked the flushed better but I only dry for 5 day before I tried this could change over time with cure. Dr Bruce Bugbee says research showes, flushing is just bro science and fertilizer can't be in the flower because of Photosynthesis. Personally I'm keeping a open mind.I think I can flush in 5 or lest days. I'm going to keep testing different flush periods until I find what works for me. Dry tent is set to 60% humidity with air flow

Fo' Twenny here! Welcome back to my garden! Thanks for following me on this 16 strain photoperiod SOG grow adventure! We have 18 strains running with 2 regular strains, I want to be sure we can fill up the whole SOG. 9/7 - Just to recap last week. 9/5 I transplanted from the 16 oz solo cups into a one gallon 8" tall Active Aqua 6" x 6" Square Pots. Today, I topped and defoliated. Everything is looking good, now just waiting for them to bounce back. Hoping to be ready for flower within next week or two. This is my first run using a modified SOG method, and not sure how long it will take for them to be ready. Ideally I'd like each main growing shoot to be about 12" or so before sending to 12/12. BAD NEWS: Half of the blue diodes have gone out in the TMLAPY light. This light was actually gifted to me shortly after a friend purchased it from Amazon and realized it was too small for their space. It seemed to be serving it's purpose well for vegging photos and running bumper crops of autoflowers but it failed only four months after the warranty period ended! Weak-Sauce! Welp, looks like it's time to upgrade the 24"x48" tent to Samsung LM301H boards. I ordered a 320w straight single piece heatsink with 3 boards from Geeklight. I went with the 3k spectrum and switchable UV/IR since all my autoflowers bloom under this light. RHIZOSPHERE: .25 tsp/gal Blue Planet Gold Shield Silica Supplement .25 tsp/gal Fox Farm Gringo Rasta Cal-Mag 1.5 tsp/gal BigBloom .25 tsp/gal Boomerang .125 tsp/gal Wholly Mackerel PPM: 749 pH: 6.4 1 tsp/gal Southern AG Garden Friendly Fungicide compare to Hydroguard 2 TBSP/gal Serenade Thanks for stopping by my garden! Please check out my other diaries & give me a follow! Happy growing my friends! ☺️🌱 Peace, ☮️✌️ Love, 💚🤟 & Frosty Nugs! ❄️🌲 - Fo' Twenny

Seeing how the results are, the big ones I made apical and fmi species or the one you cut 3/4 I think they came out in a few days, some just cut the leaf and sprouted, I helped the biggest one with its final production and all of them general the different techniques, although curious results for a beginner, the techniques were not done well, they were cut halfway or only the leaves and not the apex itself ahahahaha, it turned out but very good in the end I would say

Sorry in the delay getting this week up, I'll be uploading week 8 next, then doing week 9 over the weekend. New tent is up! YAY!!! I have my 3 FastBuds BlackBerry Auto’s in the new 2x4 tent along with 2 Cherry seedlings and 3 freshly cut clones. The new tent is actually a used tent that was given to me. They did not have the support poles, so I had to build the frame out of wood. I’m happy with the way it turned out. So I have the girls divided into 2 tents now. In the smaller tent (shorter, both are 2x4) I have all 3 Blackberry’s, 2 Cherry CBD Hemp seedlings and some clones started from topping the plants in the larger tent. The Blackberry’s are doing better, but no huge changes. The first Blackberry is budding nicely, but she’s small and really only developing a main cola. I’m guessing 10-15g (dried) when harvested and that’s assuming she fattens up before harvest. The second Blackberry is bigger than the first and developing multiple bud sites, instead of one main cola. I’m going to wait until she develops more before making a guess at weight. The 3rd Blackberry is the youngest and still in veg mode. I’m betting she turns out to be the star of the group. She has a much nicer node structure. But we’ll see... The 2 Cherry CBD Hemp plants are young, but so far so good. The clones were taken from topping the plants in tent 2. In tent 2 I have Cream & Cheese CBD, Critical +, DinaMed CBD+, NYC Diesel Auto and Cherry CBD Hemp. I topped the Cream & Cheese CBD, Critical +, DinaMed CBD+ and Cherry CBD Hemp and am trying to get clones started from the tops. All of these plants are looking pretty good. They all seem to have pretty good color and node structure. This week I fed Recharge only. Needless to say, I’m a happy dude so far! 😃

Día 15. Las plantas ya alcanzaron un altura muy buena. Ya empiezan a aparecer los primeros pelos blancos. Por el momento me ha sorprendido la reacción de las plantas al bud blood. Si puedo voy a comprar bud candy para ayudar un poco a la mezcla. Por el momento decidí mantener el bud blood a media dosis durante una semana más con el big bud. Veremos que tal resulta. Día 17. El estirón siguió y las plantas alcanzaron 51 cm. Las pequeñas directamente quedaron tapadas. En este experimento se puede ver la diferencia entre tierra e hidroponia. La verdad que estoy sorprendido. Creo que los productos usados son los que han marcado la diferencia. Las plantas quintuplicaron la altura total que tenían al momento de pasarlas a floración. Y sospecho que van a seguir estirándose una semana más. Espero no tener problemas de altura porque no lo planeaba. Creo que voy a cortar algunas ramas bajas más, dado que se están generando muchas sombras nuevas. Seguiré actualizando. Día 19. El estiramiento continua, pero levemente. Ya alcanzaron 55cm. Estuve cortando algunas ramas y hasta supongo que podría cortar más. Pero a esta altura ya todo lo que hay recibe buena luz. La diferencia entre la madre que está en tierra y los esquejes en hidroponia, es cada vez más notoria. Si bien ya la he visto, tener una planta al lado de la otra bajo la misma luz, hace la parte alevosa de todo esto. De todos modos, he comprobado que el sabor obtenido en tierra, es más fiel al de la hidroponia. En hidroponia en principio, las plantas son mas fuertes en todo, pero el sabor de alguna forma, es demasiado afectado por los nutrientes. Incluso habiendo lavado dos o tres semanas, la planta sostiene un sabor constante en todas las variedades, que parece estar atado a la nutrición. Siendo que en tierra, cada variedad tiene su sabor distintivo, siendo una distinta de otra. La próxima actualización será en la nueva semana, ya que al quedar poca solución, la voy a cambiar antes y voy a poner 12 litros en lugar de los 10 que vengo usando. Las plantas vienen comiendo mucho.

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

3/30/25 - start of week 3 of flower. I have been defoliating larger leaves and leaves blocking bus sites here and there throughout the week since her growth is exploding and will do a heavy defoliation in a week at day 21. I top watered with FPE of my bloom at 1tbsp per gallon of water and PH'd the water down to 6.5 3/31/25 - My humidity kept rising in the tent and i couldn't get it down under 60% RH even with my lung room at 32% RH so i decided to do a large defol to help air circulation 4/1/25 - Filled the res with plain water PH'd at 6.5, it was real dry and between the both they took an entire 5 gallon bucket. I'll have to start checking the res every few days to see how thirsty these girls are 4/4/25 - Top watered about a liter and a half each with FPJ. Reservoirs are almost empty so I'll probably need to fill them tomorrow. I got a battery powered siphon from Amazon to make it a little easier since the trellis and canopy get in the way of the PVC 4/5/25 - filled the res with plain water PH'd to 6.3. Tomorrow is day 21 of flower so will be defoliating again probably pretty heavy but plants are looking nice, Ive been keeping PPFD around 850 while in flower

soaked the seed in water for 24 hours, then moved it to the paper towel method the next day. By the following morning the seed had already cracked and produced a long, healthy taproot. I transplanted it directly into a 3-gallon pot filled with BuildASoil 3.0 and lightly misted the surface with Deer Park water. As of November 15th, the seedling has emerged and looks healthy. Hoping it settles in well with no early nutrient burn.

4 week of cultivation, everything is going well so far. we had a little deficiency in call mag but it was already added to the feed. The plant that I saw as weaker at the beginning started its flowering process with 2 apparent stems.

🗓️ Week 9 – Flower Week 5 (MAC n Cheese only) This week’s focus was all about managing drain EC levels, and MAC n Cheese is still pushing out some salts – nothing critical, but worth keeping an eye on. 💧 Last watering: • Input EC: ~1.3–1.4 • Drain EC: 1.79 → 1.69 ⚠️ Status: Runoff EC is slowly dropping but still on the higher side. Some light salt buildup is visible, especially on the leaf edges – nothing major yet. 🔧 Adjustment plan: • Keep input EC steady at 1.2–1.3 • Use supplements conservatively – around 20–30 % of the schedule • Target runoff EC: gradually bring it down to ~1.5–1.6 Overall, she's handling it well – strong growth and steady development. Frost levels continue to rise – things are really starting to sparkle. ❄️🌸

Thursday this week has been good so far, I pulled each plant out yesterday and tidied everything up. I got rid of all the tiny lateral branches that didn’t make the cut and I got Rid of everything that was below about half way down the plant. Obviously the lateral branches that grew to the same height as the canopy are staying it’s just all the non starter stuff below. I annoyingly had my in take fan die on me. We’ll sort of, it just keeps tripping the fuse on my electric so I assume it’s from when I had my res flood onto the floor - I forgot it was there on the floor because it was hidden behind the res

Well its the middle of the week and I haven't added any nutes until of yesterday. I woke up the next day and they enjoyed the nutes. Saw a big difference in both the plants. I'm a first time grower so any advice will help. I'm just wondering when to put them into flower.
