Week 5: Comeback Queen 👑🍍 The relief I felt this week is immeasurable. My pineapple is BACK! Not only has she recovered from the snail attack, but she's thriving. She's getting bushy, pushing out new leaves and reaching for the sky. I knew she had it in her. Given her impressive height, I decided it was time for some strategic intervention. FIMming to encourage even more branching, defoliation to let the light reach those lower leaves, and some gentle LST to keep her shape in check. She took it like a champ. The best part? I took some of those trimmed branches and dipped them in cloning gel. Fingers crossed for some pineapple babies! This girl is a fighter, and I have a feeling her offspring will be just as resilient.

I have to say, overall out of all 5 purple Lemonade seeds I’m not very happy with the results so far considering they was a little more pricey & the fact that I know how good these plants can turn out! Not sure if I just got some bad genetics or what’s up but pretty bummed about this run so far😅😅 hopefully things will start to look up! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱 Day 24 - Decided to pull the smallest purple lemonade that wasn’t doing anything so I can go ahead and get something else going in it’s place! Watered the other ladies today. Day 25 - Ladies are still stretching like crazy!

Day 9 – After the Clouds, the Sun Returns Following a couple of cloudy, cooler days with unpredictable UK spring weather, today we’re back in business – full sunshine bathing the windowsill, and the seedling is clearly appreciating it. On day 9, she’s showing good upward momentum, with a healthy green tone and a nicely elongated, but not overly stretched, stem. The second set of serrated leaves is beginning to open up, and the seedling’s posture is strong and upright. This morning I gave her 1 litre of clean, pH-balanced tap water. No added nutrients – the organic super soil and Biobizz All Mix are handling that just fine for now. I’m keeping to my minimal-intervention philosophy: no boosters, no chasing perfection – just observation, clean inputs, and natural sunlight. Observations: Although the last 48 hours brought overcast skies and some temperature swings (unmeasured near the window), the seedling remained stable – no signs of droop or stress. Today’s sun is back in full force, with direct light from 07:00 to around 14:00, likely peaking again at ~1350 μmol/m²/s. Still no supplemental light or artificial environment. Everything remains natural and low-effort. Thoughts Moving Forward: It’s always interesting to see how a young autoflower responds to dips in light and ambient temperature – they don’t have time to waste, and yet this one seems to have taken the brief grey spell in stride. Looking ahead, if the weather holds steady, we should start to see noticeable structural development over the next few days. She’s holding up well. Calm, steady progress – just the way I like it. Day 11 – Holding Strong Indoors While the Outdoors Waits. Here we are on Day 11, and the little CBD Auto 20:1 continues to develop steadily on the sunny windowsill. The first set of true leaves is broadening nicely, and the new growth in the centre is coming in with good symmetry and colour. Stem strength is improving as well, holding the plant upright with no signs of stretching or leaning – exactly what I like to see at this stage. I’m continuing to water only with clean, pH-balanced tap water, no additives, no boosters. Just letting the super soil mix and Biobizz All Mix do their thing. This “less is more” approach seems to be paying off so far. Weather notes: The past few days have been moderately sunny, with occasional clouds, but the windowsill stays consistently warm – definitely warm enough to encourage strong vegetative growth. Outdoors, however, it’s a different story: cold air, unpredictable swings, and… snails. Lots of snails. This seedling wouldn’t last a night outside right now – she’d be a gourmet treat for any passing mollusc. For now, she stays safe behind glass, soaking up the sun from dawn until early afternoon (~07:00–14:00), and building up strength for the future move outdoors – once the weather is right and the risks are low. Final thoughts for today: There’s something satisfying about watching a seedling thrive under low-tech, natural conditions. No grow tents, no supplemental lights – just sunlight, soil, and simple attention. She’s doing well, and the coming week should bring the next round of leaf growth and even more structure. Slow, steady, and sun-fed – exactly how I imagined this grow would go. Day 14 – Two Weeks Strong & Natural Salty Signs Two weeks in, and the CBD Auto 20:1 is holding her own beautifully. After a slow and steady start on the windowsill, she’s now clearly entering a more active vegetative phase. The leaves are spreading wide, looking rich and healthy in colour, with that classic Fast Buds symmetry already taking shape. Stem structure is upright and solid, with no signs of stretching, which tells me she’s perfectly aligned with the available sunlight hours. Watering & Environment Update: She continues to receive pH-balanced, clean tap water only, and the pot remains well-drained and breathable thanks to the fabric construction. Today, I noticed white patches on the fabric pot – a common and harmless sign of mineral salt deposits. This occurs when moisture evaporates through the fabric, leaving behind minerals from the water (mainly calcium and magnesium). It’s cosmetic only and doesn’t affect the plant or roots in any negative way. Light Conditions: After a few low-light days earlier this week (we recorded a light intensity drop down to ~30 μmol/m²/s during heavy cloud cover), today brought back that sweet UK sunshine. The plant is once again receiving its reliable 07:00–14:00 window of direct sun, which we’ve measured previously around 1350 μmol/m²/s at peak – ideal for a low-input indoor approach. Final Thoughts: She’s looking compact, balanced, and ready to stretch. No signs of stress, deficiency, or pest issues – and I’m really enjoying observing how this plant responds to minimal intervention in a realistic environment. Not rushing anything, not chasing perfection – just letting nature and a well-prepped soil mix lead the way. Next week should be an exciting one!

Tamara’s third week is anything but boring. After a recovery phase from topping, I wait until her shoots have grown enough. During this time, I notice that her fan leaves are not growing symmetrically and vary in the number of fingers. 😅 No reason to worry—this is completely normal at this stage. A little later, Tamara gets her first LST, and it probably looks a lot harsher than it actually is for her. Because just 24 hours later, she shines in her “old” beauty again. I give her a bit of rest, but towards the end of the third week, she gets another LST and is thoroughly defoliated. 🤣😅 From my perspective, the most happened this week 🙂 and I’m more than impressed with how well Tamara handles my interventions, considering she’s an autoflower and would normally just be left to grow. 😂🤣😇… Actually 😉

These girls are starting off the week getting blasted by the Sun and heat. I had to increase the water dramatically. Pots are short and because the heat and lack of humidity they are having to be drenched. Day 2 of this week, I'm noticing some ph imbalance. I don't have ro water and my tap is 7.6 ph. I'm going to water today with 5.8 ph water and see if they green up. I also took down a tree that was shading that little one. That should speed up it's development. The 10 mph winds blew one of these over on day 1 this week. I'm propping it back up on day 2 and it should straighten out. End of day 3, everyone got some organic soil acidifier. They greened up nicely. The smallest plant this week had its new growth eaten. Ants, grasshopper, I've got a big question mark there, but she's still alive. The week finished nicely. Plants are finally getting into the super soil and taking off. The extreme heat has been tuff on them but fastbuds can handle it.

Explosive growth! Seems to be loving the coco. She took off week 4-5. And, alll of a sudden there were pistols showing all over her. Appears to be doin great, having fun with the daily LST she's requiring with the rapid growth. Managed not to snap any more branches off. Got a mars hydro TS100 in the tent now and she's loving it.

So my new Mars Hydro FC-E1500 is here. Swaped the very old MarsHydro LED in the middle. Gave them a little bit more CalMag and for the 1st Wedding Cake Bio Grow. Very minimal trimming. I noticed that the leafs from the 2nd Wedding Cake are glossy like. I think it could be too much nitrogen. Stoped giving her Bio Grow 1 week ago. Thanks for all the answers, i will flush both the weddingcakes out and see how they react. Also measuring the run off EC and PH and also soil PH. 1/10/25 I like this community already 😁 you guys gave me such good answers to my grow question. So I measured soil PH roughly between 7 and 7,5 so alkaline. Not good. I flushed with Phed water 5,3 and measured PH of runoff at 6,6 and ppm at 1480 . Repeated, measured runoff PH 6,3 ; ppm 1210. Repeat, but with PHed 5,0 water, runoff PH 5,9 ppm 1010. Stoped. 1st WddngCake took 3 flushes with total of 30 l of water. 2nd Wddncake got a flush with 25 l of water at the end runoff PH aprox 5,9 ppm 990 . Gave them both Nematodes because i saw a reduction in fungus gnats that is good. Almost none flying around. Fingers crossed. 😊 1/11/25 Aprox. 24h from "The Big Flush" 😁 and they seem to be happier. Temp in tent 23 C and RH 44% - 48% . Also added a few photos of them after the flush. 1/12/25 Aprox. 48h after flush. They are doing very good. 1st WddngCake shows off more of her colors with splashes on the calyxes and sugar leafs. 2nd WddngCake stands tall and bulks the buds up. I also noticed that Pheno 1 WddnCake has a fruitty creamy like sweat smell and the 2nd Pheno ,the tall girl, reminds me of a tropical IPA, fruity , fresh and pungent like cousin hops. Also the end of this week, today, looking forward at the week ahead. In the tent 22 C at the moment with 50% RH because i let the mars hydro ventilators off for the day. they are back on now.

Bueno , este es el segundo cultivo que realizó del la cepa "Waka" , el anterior lo tengo igualmente documentado en otro diario . en esta ocasión cultivamos los clones que habíamos recolectado del cultivo pasado , guardando los fenotipos que nos gustaron más y los clones restantes los pasamos a floración que fueron los que se le hizo seguimiento en este diario. El crecimiento fue bastante explosivo y reaccionaron muy bien a cada trasplante realizado . pude observar que los clones de cada fenotipo seleccionado se desarrolló con mucha similitud al de sus madres . El olor en vegetación es bastante discreto y en floración se pone un más intenso El desarrollo en floración fue explosivo generando bastante resina y se vieron muy hambientras . Al fumar se puede sentir un rico toque cítrico en las N° 4 se siente un fuerte sabor a limón en algunas flores mucho mas marcado que en otras, N° 3 y 13 un agradable toque a naranjas muy rico de sentir en el paladar , La N° 8 con pizcas dulces bastante interesantes. El humo al fumar es muy suave lo que permite sentir mejor el sabor de cada fenotipo.- saludos y buenos humos😉 Al momento de cosechar se cortaron los clone y se dejo secando en oscuridad a temperatura ambiente por cerca de 16 días posterior a eso se pasó a curar en frascos

En este final de la semana 3 de floración a los nutrientes que venianos agregando, le sumamos el NIRVANA de advanced nutrients 2ml x L. Le quite algunas hojas el día 20 , algunas que estaban amarillas y otras que tapaban algun cogollo de las ramas bajas que no quite. Algunas hojas tienen las puntas amarillas pero no se notan cambios negativos aun., pero no logro saber que problema está teniendo. Pero en términos generales todo marcha bien.🤞🤞🚀🚀

Currently checking daily and tying away branches/leaves to give the buds more light and watering when the soil is dry. Currently my plants drink exactly 1,5L a day. I have the feeling that the right plant is lacking a bit of potassium. I'll leave everything as it is for now because the left plant (fresh new soil) is growing well. Since the right plant is quite bushy anyway, I'll defoliate it again later and remove any lower shoots. I started adding the Bio PK booster towards the middle of the first week of flowering, 2ml per liter of water; as the pH value drops too much, I correct it upwards with Biobizz pH up - from pH 5.5 to 6.5 for 3L, I add a total of 39 drops. My water is mixed as follows: 3L osmosis water, plus 6ml CalMag, 6ml BioPK 5-8 and 39 drops of pH + BioBizz.
