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.

04/28/2020 Week #8 of flowering begins will post more pics latter. 04/29/2020 Did some leaf removal had some powdery mildew on some leaves took infected leaves off, plus some for good measure. Drying out every day or two today she took one liter before run off. You can see in the video the colors? And sparkling buds? 04/30/2020 Day 50 I decided to take the top buds in pics , 47 grams wet. It is a 9-12 week strain but I think she need a week or two? But we will see.

20.4. - Happy 420 everyone! ☘️ I'm starting the second week of full bloom and plants are looking almost perfect. I've removed Bio Grow from the mix and added more Bud Candy and Cal-Mag, I hope that plants will like it. ✌️ 21.4. - Watered 💧 23.4. - Seems that plants are okay with the new mix and upped amount of water per plant 😎 Watered 💧 26.4. - Week wrap-up: Plants are thriving, however Jack and Lemon are getting a bit yellow. I'm guessing it's because they're right under the light. Watered 💧 20.4. - 26.4.2024

Eccoci anche qua all ultima settimana di vegetativa, la ragazza procede bene, anche se è la più piccola, sembra che stia tenendo il passo con le altre sorelle, magari è solo la genetica particolarmente piccola e cespugliosa, staremo a vedere, per ora sto andando leggero con i nutrienti, anche la c02 in pastiglie l ho somministrata solo per una settimana, perché non volevo che esplodessero troppo di vigore in vegetativa per non rischiare di avere delle bestie enormi che al conseguente aumento di c02 aumenta anche il metabolismo e devo fertilizzante il doppio per non avere carenze che mi portano in pochi giorni ad avere nevrosi delle foglie, se nn si sta attento e si utilizza la c02 senza avere gli strumenti che accompagnano questo tipo di compito, comunque basta non esagerare e controllare spesso le piante e se si nota una leggera carenza, somministrare del magnesio/potassio in più ad esempio, che è la carenza maggiore che ho notato quando somministra troppa c02 e temperature troppo elevate.. Bene siamo arrivati alla fine di questa settimana! Ringrazio Mars hydro e per l equipaggiamento professionale che mj permette di crescere le mie ragazze in piena salute! Buon 420 a tutti alla prossima! 😸✌️💪😎😽😺👊🌱🌿🌲🧑‍🌾

HAPPY 420 Today iam entering the SEEDSMAN 420 Growoff with the Following strain the FATSO GMO f1 automatic. All will start Indoors under SANlight Flex 25, and move Outdoors. Only one Plant stays indoors, to see the performance under best Conditions because my Outdoor Garden is hard^^ So i started with letting them soak, and then the seeds will move under a humid Kitchensponge unil i see a sweet Taproot. then they will go into the Final Pot, filled with lovely TerraPreta mj mix the grow will be supported with Biotabs fertiliser Breeder Information Fatso GMO F1 Auto is a feminised hybrid strain that is the result of crossing two autoflowering strains, viz. Fatso Auto and Cotton Candy Auto. This Cali-derived, slightly sativa-leaning, easy to cultivate strain will please growers with its big yield, solid THC content and its sweet, candy and fuel palate. Fatso GMO F1 Auto will grow well both indoors and outdoors. It has an above-average resistance to mould but will still benefit from good ventilation, especially where humidity levels are quite high. Resistance to plant pests and other pathogens is excellent. While plants will remain quite short at around 100cm or less indoors, they can grow a little taller, reaching a height of 130cm, outdoors in open ground. The entire cycle is completed in a maximum of 75 days from germination through to harvest and although yields are said to be average this is still pretty impressive for an autoflowering strain. The combination of high resin production and high terpene levels make Fatso GMO F1 Auto a very good strain from which to make cannabis extracts. The terpene profile is sweet and funky with savoury scents of Skunk with pine and floral notes. The taste is like sweet candy with hints of fuel. THC production is high, reaching 24% while CBD is low. The effect is uplifting and well-balanced.

Yo! Week 2 Flower diary. Honestly I'm lost now I'd say it's closer to the end of week 3. I've done a full res wash, sterilization and refill ahead of adding another 5 plants. Even in one day I'd say I can see a visible 'perk' in these girls since doing that. Now off big bud and onto PK. They were showing signs of K deficiency so I took that and threw in some PK and the results speak for themselves. Frost is now in full swing. Got me drooling at the already grapey terps coming from them. Photos are poor this week as lights had already come on before I got to them. Will try for some with just the fluorescent on next week.

Plants are growing really fast just giving water when soil dry. Decided to top the big bud auto seems to be growing really fast. Was only going to lst because this is my first indoor grow and don’t want to fuck it up hahah. Not much else going on this week. One of the northern lights is tiny but I have faith in it

Sorry for the late post had a very busy period. The buds are great, good feedback from patients. First time I've been able to taste a fully organic bud and I can say I won't be going back!

Happy Xmas 😊 No better day to lay them down! "We're Off to the races" 🏁 Greyhound's at the ready! "I feel like; we're in for a speed run Martina" •HydroSol Grow + H202• #Peanut Butter OGKB - Sensible Seeds #Peyote Wi-Fi CBD - Seedsman. #Monkey SlapZ - PreyBird Farms. #The Future - DC Seeds "Sprayed SEEDS with weak 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide foodgrade. Placed on mineral wool inside of a glass food container in a propagandist! 😉 on a heat mat at 24c. 26/12/2024 Peanut Butter OGKB has sprouted her tap! 27/12/2024 Peyote Wi-Fi CBD (PW) is ready for the light as well with The Future (TF) 28/11/2024 All have germinated! Peeled back the shell 🐚 on peanut butter OGKB (PB) being a good Santa's little helper. Will introduce HydroSol water soluble feed in the morning. They should have enough in there tap root until morning. "Its only been 3days since I laid them down 👀 and it's been 1 day from seed sprouting tap root" mathematical genius i am. Midday: Apllied a very weak feed of HydroSol at ratio of 1ml/L. DLI: 20 (c) Little above average! Lights Off! Sprayed propagator with HP 6% all round avoiding direct touch! About week 3 will up the dose spray to 12% "avoiding direct touch" this is bleach strength. But hopefully being introduced early will stop the micro-organisms "ever" building up in the plants cells ever. May have to do a laboratory grow next to get the results i want that are projected in my minds eye! If the hydrogen keeps reacting with micro organisms; it could by the very definition rip atoms and form mutations of its own kind! Hence these are "Experiments" Because i think every grow is an experiment (leave it to the professionals: I hear you! Would; could; should but the world is full of lies and deceptions; from knowledge; technology; history and Morden-day! Well Morden day academics 'to me. Personally is all bs! Take it as it is, just my opinions and a cloud of thought sprawling and spiraling out over these digital diaries. I hwar ya too. A huge still box would be needed or properly designing a room for a labradory grow. I don't know! I would need zero interferences from "out of space" where the nasties come from in our world. The space between me and you; consists of everything we know in that "gap" for we are forever shinning from our own island! Hard to explain. Lights Off: 147watts wall draw with DLI at 20! Light Shedule: 3-9pm Monkey SlapZ (MS) hasnt cracked her shell yet. I may have to do it tomorrow morning (may die otherwise) 29/11/2024 Lights On! (MS removed shell and accidently snapped its tap toot) PW tap as got snap accidentally as well as I re perisione it. This happened before and MS recovered from the snapped tap root. I made the MS joke 😃 Anyways...let it be! 30/12/2024 I'll update agai😗n next week: i think this talk for the first few days has set the pace for myself! Enter.the.Void.2009.DC.1080p.BluRay.DDP5.1.x265.10bit-GalaxyRG265 Just finshed watching it! for real i thought it was me! mint film to watch stoned 31/11/2024 Increased light: 293watts DLi 35 ***Happy New Years 2025*** How did you smoke yaself in? Me; diy chemistry kit lol "All the best brothers" ❤️ 💪 Keep it strong! I can only hope this diary can bring HydroSol some limes 🍋 🙏 in the sunshine 🌞 water soluble feed. Zero residues "allegedly". All I have heard is positive things about HydroSol water soluble feed. I had a thot, " The HP 12% i am using for cosmetic reasons is basically "water" with an extra molecule. H202 is basically water and is can be soluble with HydroSol feed. I'll explain more on from my pervious grow diary by Segwaying in and out of this diary with quotations from It and continuing on. 02/01/2025 Dimmed light: 188 25DLi Will update next week, these puppies need to stretch their roots. Nothing much happening! Loads happening really. You know what i mean lol " My little rusties i call them" Free radicals have caused the leafs to have a faint ginger tint when it stole the Oxygen Atom, which released free radicals. Not to worry this will boost growth in the next two week. 04/01/2025 All seems okay. Monkey SlapZ lost a leaf 🍃 😳 but looks like shes recovering fine. I introduced HydroSol way too early. Never mind you live and learn. They are all back in the propagator and I put some fresh seeds down to germinate/same strains. 11/01/2024 All fresh new seeds have sprouted. MS is showing new baby leafs 🍃 recovering from losing a leaf and top. Fresh baby growth is now showing! 13/01/2024 MS n TF has sprouted! Old MS recovered God burnt down Mel Gibsons house for making passion of the christ lol 18/01/2025 Its felt like a long start; experimenting with H202. The 2nd load of seeds i introduced h202 2days after tap root sprouted and HydroSol on day 3. This seems to of worked 20/01/2024 21/01/2024 TF and MS repotted into 5L jerry starter cans with 1.25ml/l 22/01/2024 All looks okay, will slowly 🐌 increase lights over the next week as they creep out of germination. PW hasn't germinated yet, ive placed another PW seed down! Midday Check ✔️ DLI: 28 Watts: 270 Canopy distance est: 35-40inches MS is 3days old after sprouting! Maybe it's just me but she looks older and her colours and texture looks different! Could it be the #HydroSol #H202? Who knows? Will have to replicate the protocols to verify these results on indeed because of HydroSol + H202 (1.5ml/l) 23/07/2025 I put down to germinate Freaky Pablo TerpYz and Magic MarkerxZZTOP 26/07/2025 Lights Rapid Growth has slowed 🐌 down. #The HydroSol feed 6.5ml/5litre of water for germinating....1ml of 12% HP. I think this is the ratio I am after. Being water soluble feed it looks like just water ; well it is 98% water i suppose. 26/07/2025 Midday It seems the HydroSol is working perfectly. It's been a rough sturdy journey to start off with but I've found a steady road to the right ratios. 1ml 12%HP to 5L 6.5ml HydroSol Feed for germinating. Vegging I will slowly increase to double the amount as she 👀 sees fit. It seems the HydroSol is working perfectly.

📆 Week 12, 7-12 July 2024 Harvest 8 July - Turned light power down to 25%. Changed nutrient solution to RO water to begin flush. 11 July - Harvest 12 July - Begin curing time. 📑 Harvest time! She is ripe, danky, sticky, full of resin, solid, and I am pleasently suprised at the yield. This is not your ordinary Auto Afghan variety. She produces heavy buds and a lot of them. This is also the first auto I have grown using DWC in 12 weeks without manipulation - 18 hours straight from start to finish. I pushed her to the limit. Now she will hang in the closet at 50-55% RH and 70 degrees F, for about 7-10 days curing. Then she will trimmed and put into one quart glass mason jars, with 62% Boveda TurpShield and burped until 62% RH is maintained. The full potency potential and terp profile will be reached in about 30-45 days. 📆 19 July 2024 The Smoq Report: After 7 days of hanging, she was ready to cut. I trim and shape each individual bud, removing unwanted leaf and stem. It’s a process but worth it if you smoke bud. Her potency is evident. It will take the experienced smoker to a satisfying high and keep you there for a good hour or more before you want another hit. The smell and taste is of a typical Afghan. I was expecting a heavier yield, but in the end I guess we all hope for a little more! Maybe next grow! 🍶 Nutrient solution changed to RO water 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🔆 Light power at 25%, DLI 20 canopy coverage at 18hrs 😤 Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this grow. Thanks for following, reading and stopping by.

Hi, topman. The UV removed all the green leaf... And this plant decided to stay with the CBG cannabinoid from the red diode boosters! Because of this, there were no reports for several weeks. >>

🌸 White Widow — Week 4 of Flower (12/12–11/13 From Seed) Stage: Week 4 Flower (full flower, no stretch left) Structure: Compact plant, building a tall main cola (~25 cm target) + tidy “golf-ball” side colas Frost: Already impressive; trichomes thickening across tops and sugar leaves Watering: Hand watering (by feel; no runoff chasing) Light routine: Still running the red-on/red-off sunrise/sunset via TrolMaster (15 min before/after) ⸻ Quick Recap (for anyone just joining) • Germination: We lost the first batch (uneven heat mat, my mistake). We restarted and this solo survivor is the one you see now. • Veg under 11/13: She stayed compact and stubbornly vegged a while before showing preflower, great node stacking. • Early flower: Bud set → second flower push → now deep into Week 4 with clear, even sites top to bottom. • Environment: Room was hot early on; AC install stabilized temps and RH. Plants never showed stress, credit to genetics, steady care, and balanced feed. ⸻ 🍽️ Nutrition (this week) We’ve removed Top Booster completely. Current, steady recipe: • Aptus Regulator – supports cell strength, transport efficiency, and stress tolerance • Aptus CalMag Boost – LED + coco/active soil insurance for Ca/Mg/Fe availability • Plagron Power Buds – encourages compact flower set at each node • Plagron Sugar Royal – metabolic push (N-based aminos) to drive energy use + aroma precursors • Plagron Green Sensation – balanced late-flower support (PK + organics/biostims) for density, oil, and finish • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – (still in) gentle full-spectrum base; likely to taper/stop soon as the soil biology carries more of the load Why this mix now? Week 4 is the “early swell” window: calyx initiation shifts into mass formation. We’re keeping Ca/Mg steady for membrane integrity and photosynthesis under strong LED; using Power Buds to keep sites tight, Sugar Royal to feed metabolism and terpenes, Green Sensation to support density/oils, and Regulator to keep the plant efficient under heat/PPFD. All-in-One remains as a safety net while the super soil’s biology fully ramps, then it can step back. ⸻ 🔬 Plant Development (what’s happening physiologically) • Stretch is done. Auxin dominance recedes; energy diverts to calyx swelling and trichome biosynthesis. • Trichomes rising. Expect a marked increase in capitate-stalked heads on bracts and sugar leaves from now through Week 6–7. • Carb sink strength. Flowers become the primary sink; steady water + balanced EC will keep turgor and bulking clean. ⸻ 💡 Light & Rhythm • Sunrise/sunset with reds (TrolMaster): 15 min before and after the white/blue block to smooth transitions and lean into the red/far-red synergy. • Target PPFD/DLI: With shorter photoperiods (11–12 h), aim ~700–800 µmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ to land a DLI ~28–32 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹—a sweet spot for mid-flower without forcing heat stress. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment (steady and sensible) • Temps/RH: Now stable since AC: ~28 °C and mid-60s %RH previously reported—great for mid-flower resin and growth when airflow is strong. • VPD: Around 1.3–1.4 kPa is ideal for Week 4 bulk—keeps stomata active, minimizes mold risk, and preserves turgor. • CO₂: Natural room swings are fine at this stage; plant responses are telling us she’s happy. ⸻ 👀 What to Expect Next (Week 5–6) • Calyx stacking & mass gain on the main cola and those side “golf balls.” • Frost explosion: More trichomes and a greasy feel on sugar leaves. • Aroma lift: Expect that classic White Widow earthy-spice to start pushing out. What not to expect • Height—she’s done stretching. • True ripening signals (amber heads, heavy fade) — too early. • Big defoliation needs, she’s compact; keep leaves that drive sugars unless a leaf blocks airflow or a bud site entirely. ⸻ Grower’s Tips (why the choices matter) • No Top Booster now: Keeps K spikes in check; prevents Ca/K antagonism and tip burn while the plant is setting long-term resin factories. • Keep Ca/Mg consistent: Under strong LEDs, Ca deficits appear suddenly in fast-bulking weeks. Stay ahead, not behind. • Watering style: Hand watering gives you feel-level control over moisture fronts and prevents swings—perfect for a compact, single-plant showcase. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Shoutouts 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds — for the living legend, White Widow 💧 Aptus Holland — clean, precise fundamentals (Regulator, CalMag, All-in-One) 🌸 Plagron — Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation driving flower expression 💡 ThinkGrow & Future of Grow (Black Series 600W) — power + uniformity for dense stacking 🧠 TrolMaster — the ecosystem that lets us choreograph sunrise/sunset and keep the room steady …and you, reading and riding along.

Loved this plant will have a smoke report soon. It really responded well to feedings and heavy feedings at that. The buds packed on weight and frost. This was by far my favorite of this run!

Zweite Woche im Oktober, das Wetter wird immer unbeständiger, die trychome sehen gut aus - Zeit für die Ernte. Ich habe erstmal einige Fächerblätter ohne Harzbesatz entfernt und den Rest zum trocknen aufgehängt. Aufgrund von Platzmangel teils in Umzugskartons und teils im Netz. Nach einer Weile habe ich die Blüten dann vom Stengel getrennt, Manikürt und ins Glas verfrachtet. Aufgrund der Menge war ich bei der Maniküre nicht all zu penibel und habe auch einiges zur späteren Weiberverarbeitung im Eisfach gelagert.
