Hey everyone! Welcome to our second grow journal! We're growing the same strains as in the first journal, but this time, we plan to only top the plants. They're in 18-liter pots, and you'll be able to follow their progress here as well. These plants are 20 days younger than the ones in the first grow, so it'll be interesting to compare their development. Stay tuned for updates!

Lots of growth through days 17 to 21. I consider day one at time of sprout. Tops height was 5.20" on day 19.. prior to applying LST. Height is no longer relevant when using LST. I'm hoping for height after I LST the plant around the bowl of the 5 gallon pot, just before bloom. Considering this is an Amnesia XXL auto strain that runs around 10-12 weeks, I am hoping for a longer vegetative period to allow for more vertical growth. Lights moved to a distance of 22" from tops on Day 19, after LST. Day 18-19 HST/LST Height 3" Day 20 a topping and pruned approximately 7 leaves Day 21 lights moved back to 18" Day 21 Height 4.25" Water PH 5.85-6.2 through Week 3

Awesome! Went away for 10 days over Christmas and was not sure what to expect when I got back. Obviously re-potting them and letting them dry out has been effective. I've started adding a little Fish Mix to their water. I don't think they need it but I'll go really slow and try it out on my tomatoes to see what effect it has on them. I'm cautious about drowning them in nutrients as I have no experience with this and don't want to slow the grow down any more than I already have.

May 31st Everything is looking good after the LST from last week, I said I was going to swap them into flower and I realized that I should wait another week or so as they will be going into a new home so to speak. Updates coming next week for that. Doesn't look like to many PH issues anymore or whatever was happening but the plants seem a bit happier now June 1st I Figured today would be a good day to do a bit of defoliation on these girls in order to get some more light down to the newer growth. I didn't take a ton off as you can see, but for the size of the plant I suppose it was a decent amount. I read somewhere that a general rule of thumb is only defoliate roughly 30% of the plant at most. I'm not to sure if it is true but I tried to stay within that general rule. June 2nd, I decided since I would have them in veg for at least a little while long I would top them again. After topping I gave them some water and nutrients. I know I said I would do straight water for the next one but I went for it anyways as it seems the flowering mixture may be giving it some deficiency's. So I gave them the recommended feeding for heavy veg growth. I gave about 3L to the bigger plant and around 2L to the smaller plant (as it was still a bit moist but it wasn't damp). My crappy soil tester was saying my soil was at around 8PH so I figured I would aim to feed around 6ph. With the small amount of runoff from the smaller plant I did A PH test and the PH seemed to be around the 4.5-5ph area. My liquid ph meter arrived broken so I am waiting for the new one, therefore I am using the general hydroponics liquid test kit. I presume my soil ph is lower then the water I have given seeing as it went from 6ph water to around 4.5. Next feeding I will aim to feed at 7PH. With the defoliation I just made sure that the tie downs were decently tight still and moved what I thought needed to be moved. June 3rd,4th Not a ton to update on. I didn't get any pictures for these 2 days. June 5th Some obvious problems going on with the bigger plant. I am guessing it is the PH issue but I am still unsure. The one browned leaf I accidentally squished in the tie down while I was low stress training it so it got a bit damaged. Other then that the plants are growing decent. Im not sure why I didn't have more pictures for today but I mainly took problems of the problem areas. June 6th Not much going on still. They are still just hanging out not doing to much. It was a busy work week so pictures in general were a bit lazy. I will try to get more for the upcoming weeks. Big news for next week!

12/9: Fed today. Plants are looking much better now. I'll switch them to 12/12 and add extra reds tomorrow. Will also begin UVB stressing immediately. 12/11: Flipped to flower. 12/12: Fed today and sprayed with boom boom spray and axiom harpin proteins. I also added a tablespoon of Happy Frog Cavern Culture to the pots before watering it in. Got the DIY CO2 generator going with a fresh batch of sugar and yeast. 12/16: Fed today. The weird little lava cake just wasn't keeping up with the rest of the crop and I decided to remove her from the garden. For now, she's in my wife's office with our overwintering pepper plants, but I'll take her out to the greenhouse and hide her amidst my broccoli and cauliflower plants tomorrow and see how she does in the cold. πŸ™

Going into week 9, seeing some frost on the leaves and the aroma is stronger and so nice. She looks great after the heavy defoliation last week, contrary to opinions from a few critics. Sometimes I like to find out for myself, I read many different viewpoints on defoliation and I decided to try. And it worked. Peace friends, happy growing! πŸŒ±πŸ‘

These ladies continue to grow so tall with no signs of slowing down ok stress or nutrient burns. I never knew the autos would get this tall!!! Is this normal for them? Not sure they continue to grow and bud. I'm going to keep moving. I know it's too late to top them again. All is well. I just don't know how much higher my lights can go. I have a very very large tent and it's almost to the top. Can't complain. We'll see how they turn out. Happy farming

Smells like cherries and pepper. πŸ˜‹ I knew it, this one's going to be great!! πŸŽ‰ 😍 DAY 36 Watered with 1ml A+B EC 1.0 + enzym+ πŸ’§ DAY 39 Watered with 1,5ml A+B + 0.5 ml C4 EC 1.2 πŸ’§ DAY 42 Watered with BioEnhancer πŸ’§ Thanks, everybody for visiting!! πŸ’š πŸ’š πŸ’š Grower love!!! πŸ˜˜πŸ™ 🌱 _________________________________________________________________________________ Strain Description: This is a giant autoflower that reaches 150cm and produces massive yields of up to 600gr/m2, a modern Cali strain that offers what a top-quality Indica-dominant hybrid should; nugs capped in resin with the density you would expect from Indica-dominant strains and that bag appeal that will surprise even the most experienced growers. Expect beautiful purple and magenta hues that come along with a sweet almost pastry-like taste and, thanks to the 24% THC, a very pleasant and potent effect that surprisingly starts as a motivating high and in no time relaxes you completely, taking a bit of the energetic edge off. Bud description Purple Punch Auto develops rounded compact buds with fat calyxes and bright orange or sometimes bright yellow hairs, with copious amounts of trichomes that give the buds that beautiful frosty look that all growers seek for. The light-green buds can exhibit subtle purple or lime-green tones that give them a charming and attractive look and complement them magnificently, while the mouth-watering mix of earthy cherries and blueberry muffins with a spicy touch will win you over even before you can see the buds. Smoke report Due to the high THC levels, you’ll experience a powerful effect that will completely relax your whole body and gradually start feeling like all your muscles are melting before you can count to three. Despite the strong Indica effect, you won’t be couch-locked thanks to the slight Sativa genes that incorporate a pleasant creative head-buzz and leaves you mellow and clear-headed in a peaceful state of mind. The perfect effect to go through a busy day stress-free, alleviating sore muscles after a long workout routine or just chill and have fun on a night out with friends. Plant appearance Due to the Indica dominancy, this strain remains relatively compact despite its height and grows wide and thick fan leaves typical of Indica-dominant varieties. You can expect a thick tall main cola and a few shorter side branches with spaced-out internodes where the incredibly frostbitten flowers develop and end up looking like buds on steroids by the end of the flowering stage. Grow tips This strain offers unique flavors and charming colors so we recommend flushing thoroughly to allow it to show its full potential and end up with the beautiful reddish-purple and/or lime-green hues on the buds and surrounding foliage. Due to the Indica genes, the buds grow denser than usual so it’s essential you tie the branches slightly so there is enough airflow in between the buds to prevent mold and bugs. This variety doesn’t require a lot of maintenance or anything extra but remember to feed her properly and with good-quality nutrients, this way you guarantee the buds fatten up properly and that your plant doesn’t suffer any kind of nutrient deficiencies. Flavor Thanks to the high-quality genetics, this strain offers a distinguishable taste of fresh blueberries and earthy cherries with spicy undertones and a pinch of sugary tart. The sweet smoke overpowers your throat with a sweet blueberry muffin-like taste as you inhale and, as you exhale, leaves a delicious coat of sweetness in your mouth that leaves you feeling like you’ve just eaten a dessert. ______________________________________________________________________ SETUP: Β° Zelsius 60x60 cm (2x2ft) Β° Light Greenception GC4 128W 4 Cluster OSRAM + CREE LEDs (380, 455, 630, 660, 720, 760nm) 6400k (cold-white to cover the basic load during the growth) 2100k (warm-white to cover the basic load during the blossom) The module groups can be switched individual as follows: ⬀ Module I: growth 1x 32 watt ⬀ Module II: full spectrum: 2x32 watt ⬀ Module III: Bloom: 1x 32 watt ⬀ Module I is optimized for the growth phase.

. End of Week 12 (Day 84): She is doing good and unmistakably into flower. I've moved nutrient ratios into bloom and she's showing no sign of burn or distress from it. Leaves are filling up with trichomes and getting sticky. The smell in the tent is quite delicious, a candy aroma of cherry blasters and citrus, with a mild skunky undertone. I can see why this 2.0 gets rave reviews from growers.

Hello folks 😎 7th week of flowering and the heat is still here πŸ˜” I hope to have cooler temperatures quickly, otherwise, the drying phase will be complicated ... Anyway the buds are not very big, but Wow this shit is frosty as fuck and the smell is strongly good ! at the beginning of this week, I gave her the last watering with nutrients ( about 430 ppm ) and in the middle of the week, I started the flush πŸ‘Œ For the trichomes, many are milky but there is at least a week left on the announced time 😊 Good news, I will completely change my tent and my equipment for the next crop, bigger tent, better light etc. ( soon ℒ️) But that's another story ! 😁 Stay tuned and see you next week guys 😘 I also have another diary with two Toxic from Ripperseeds if you want to see Peace Love & Weed GD FamπŸ˜πŸ‘Š

The plant is ripening, leaves are turning yellow and harvest day is coming closer. Until now, I can not really say, that this strain is a " lemon Cherry Cookie ". Unfortunately I can not say, that I smell cherry, lemon or cookies. I have had other strains, which were definitely more on the lemon side or cherry, which I did not make a diary a out. Sometimes, she smells very sweet, a bit like over ripened fruit. A positive thing: her buds are really beautiful. The colour is really nice and she is not a hungry plant. Until now , I could not see any signs of mold, even though the weather is not that optimal. If you have space on your balcony and you like to see some purple bud, you could give this a try. If your liking for extraordinary terpenes, I would choose a different strain . I'm waiting for harvest, to look out for how much she will hit, on grams and effect.
