Week 15 - flo 6 weeks Satisfying period: maturation time. No really problems, just a doubt about the final result in terms of quantity and buds size. Even if’s not a goal to produce big colas : I would have a bigger result with a little bit more work on the plants., like LST. The TS 1000 (150W) led was too low (for the room size) during the end of vegetative and preflowering period now it’s a 250W led). Every plants are healthy , still green (just few classical yellow leaves on base), producing lot of pistils and resin. The indigo Berry Kush is really appetizing: Frosty and meaty. Criminal+ and Special Queen shows lot of dense little flowers everywhere and some correct main buds. The NYC turn orange and flowers become thicker. Each plant develops a pronounced and singular aroma. I will have a choice of different flavors and tastes. Watering around 1,5L every 3 days. - rain water + cal/mag + bud XL + diamond sugar - rain water + cal/mag + overdrive (NPK-1/5/4) + diamond sugar Ventilation + carbon filter Ok for smell Now it’s question of patience. I will start to flush next week.

Again I haven't taken any pictures of this plant was on the side of the fan that didn't go down I've inspected her all over and I've found no evidence of mold or bud rot. This plant is now drying separately to the offer plant I just didn't want to take photos for it all to end up in the bin but this should be a nice harvest

May 02 Entering preflower, I think I don't have much training time ahead but I'm sure I'll be able to get her even and clean. Some small branches are trying to pop out under the already 6-7 ones but I just can't get light on there, we'll see later on if I harvest in sequence! This won't be the most successful grow but it will have been a realllllyyy instructive one. Next one if there is soon will most likely give better result. So far, without being too harsh, I think she's doing great still. Might not be in the most perfect healthy state but it's not a big deal in the sense that she's still pretty happy right now and that's fine with me. From start she has been on 24 hour non stop and I don't see any problem with it. In any case you are sure to not halt her growth by doing so and each one of these led should consume about 6 watts. On 8 we get to a grand total of 48 watts which is very fine. Current light setup might have been upgraded to a potential increase in yield of 25 to 35 % I'd guess. But for the price I paid for all of this, it's very much worth it. Doubling the light setup would raise me to a 100 watts, and light coverage would be sufficient to grow 4 autoflower. Since I only have one plant I'm keeping it on the not too expensive side without sacrificing too much, but a third setup of 4 led with 2 reptile UV led would probably increase significantly the final quality and quantity. In any case, even tho I can say it has pained me to train her since she's so small and bushy, I would probably keep this strain around for sentimental reason, I really see value in life itself and this plant is part of mine, eheh. Good night guys. May 03 I think I can notice 4 pistils growing out of the main head. Magnification from camera. It took me another hour or so to train her but I think it's worth it. I'm at about 9 new heads that are getting a good amount of light, I don't know what will happen to the other smaller ones under these 9s, we'll see if they have time to produce anything ^^. Funny expectation, if the branch don't stretch a good inch from today to 4-5 days in the future, this is gonna be chaotic there xD. Aye aye, I'll be away from pretty girl for roughly 2 day. I gave her about 350 ML of water 2 days ago. Since she has shown minor sign of problems relating to soil ph, I gave her 1 part decarbonated Perrier with about 2.7 part neutral water. Perrier is made from source water which contain macro-nutrient essential to plants. It's PH is also officially cotted at 5.5. There is debates on whether or not carbonated Perrier would be beneficial to a plant, but here I choosed to play narrower. I'm still spraying her with water once in a while. I am progressively lowering the frequency since she is approaching flowering and I don't want the humidity level to raises to much, for any question just message me. Aight, guud night. May 05 Just came back, she need water, it's obvious to me since I know her grow rate which has been slower the past 2 day it seems, pot feel lighter and soil dry ^^. I'm a little bit sick and I just came back so I'll relax a bit and take care of her later tonight. I'll try giving her 600 ml of water this time, she's getting bigger and with flowering approaching I think it's time to look for a increase. Fan leafs did increase in volume from the newly trained branch, but it feel like she has been going at 75% of her speed, but it might also be her entering flowering phase so slowing her vegetative growth, I'll post more picture after training of her later tonight, good night ;) May 07 I have read somewhere that cannabis plant often go for a good stretch before the flowering really kick in and I think that's what she's heading for. I am quite satisfied with the current evenest of each tops, I am expecting the main branch to grow higher even tho she's pretty much equal for now. I think it's normal and as long as possible I'll pull her down from the need of light coverage but everything should be fine, I don't think there will be any problem with the light. I am really looking forward to see how high she will stretch. Ideally, I don't want her to grow too big, but I am very interested in the idea of her being full of tops. The bigger the branch, the better nutrient are delivered and if light is managed correctly, you'll end up with a bigger harvest, bigger colas. So far I gave her nutrient 1 time, she got nitrogen toxicity because the soil is in fact rich enough for pretty much the whole grow, when I bought my fertilizer I thought about the fact that autoflower grow pretty much all in one at the same time but with that soil, I should have gone for something more on the P and K side. I am considering buying a new small amount of fertilizer for cheap, that is better adapted to my need. I do have little worries about micro nutrients but I do believe I am stressing a bit for nothing. In worst case I'll just answer to her need which is totally fine. Have a nice day !

Getting bigger and bigger... haven’t been feeding her very heavily but her leaves are darkening like the heavily fed mother plant. I think I figured out my problem finally, my pH meter was off and the pH of the water was way too low(4pH rather than the 6pH I thought I was watering). Buds popping up everywhere; ScrOG’ed her to have a bit more control over the grow. She takes up almost an entire 2x2 area of the tent by herself. I have four other plants in with her that I have to flower out. Plants in the flowering tent right now: Pineapple Express, two bag seeds(one I think is berry white and the other is either white widow or purple trainwreck... I mixed the bud up in the grinder so I don’t know which seeds came from what bud... I wasn’t expecting seeds at all since it was dispensary stuff but ended up with seeds in all three strains I bought that day)... I also have this purple trainwreck plant and one white widow plant all in varying weeks of flower.

Temps have been hitting 30c last week due to sunny weather and no a/c but its still smashing its way through its cycle. Honestly if your looking for a high terp, dank looking easy growing weed to grow, I suggest you buy this and thank me later. Humboldt have smashed it out the park with this strain. OK the buds aren't massive but it smells like fruit loops and is so sticky. We had a cheeky smoke as I ripped a bud off last week and it tastes exactly as it smells. Very sweet and punchy 😄 high thc as we were pretty high after it. Certainly the best start to my coco growing. Only started Flawless finish Monday and will flush for 5-7days Massive thanks to PharmaZ for sorting us out and helping us along, top bloke go follow 👍🏻 Stay turned and happy growing fam ❤️🍁🌱👍🏻

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

June 12, 2020 Week 7 I added some manure to all the pots. 2 of the plants aren’t growing much so Im leaving them to grow, and see what happens. Plants were a bit too wet from previous thunderstorms, now waiting for them to dry out so I can try and bring their ph down. Thank you and happy grow🌱 June 14, 2020 Plants started to dry out so we added ph down water and authentik Veg nutrients 4-3-2 by nutri+. Ph’s mix equivalence was around 5.8 So we brought the ph up to +/- 6.4 For ph Up we used sodium bicarbonate(baking soda). And used 1 litre of water per pot. Thanks happy grow!!!

Week 11 - Lemon Cherry cookies Auto the smell on these enhanced by 60% in the last couple days. This will be the last week of flower I’m going to let the pot dry another day. Then it will sit in 48hrs of darkness before I karate chop them. This has be the hardest decision on when to chop. It’s very unique how both plants look very different The purple one smells exactly like lemon cherry candy while the multi colored one smells like a lemon Cookie. Happy growing good luck everyone !

Hello, fin de la semaine 9, floraison semaine 3. Les plantes se portent plutôt bien, même si j’ai pu constater sur une plante en particulier une coloration tirant un peu sur le jaune léger,, mais dans l’ensemble, je pense qu’elles sont plutôt en bonne santé. Nous sommes aussi au jour 21 de la floraison, j’ai donc effectué une dernière défoliation je pense. Et un bon arrosage pour bien enrichir la terre pour qu’elles récupèrent correctement de leur défoliation. Voilà c’est a peu près tout pour cette semaine.. à la semaine prochaine Happy grow...😎

This was a brilliant week for plant growth, with some side branches over doubling their height. I added the ScrOG net at the beginning of the week and began some more intensive training. The LST only plants I pretty much just continued to bend. The topped & LST'd plants I removed some of the lower bud sites that were not getting any light. I also removed a few awkward fan leaves that could not be tucked away. The addition of the net has helped with this though, as keeping the canopy even is much easier with the support it gives. I also decided not to try any further cuts on the (half) mainlined auto's. My reasoning is that they have developed strong, independent colas already, so cutting for more would not see much gain. The plants had also begun to flower on the night I went to perform the second cut, and my growing experience tells me not to mess with flowering plants too much so here we are. I gave the plants one regular watering of 10L pH'd water, and a 20L nutrient mix using the ratios stated above. All volumes were split equally between the plants. The scrawny looking blue critical has perked up a heck of a lot, so the weakest looking plant is the LST only on GSC. ZThe strongest plants by far are the ones that have been topped and LST'd, closely followed by the mainlined ones. LST only is definitely great, but it is clearly lagging behind the other two techniques.

Ok so the taste test is : I like this over the girl scout cookies and the BlackBerry for daytime , It's a very nice euphoric head high that turns you into a creative genius , you feel like you could do anything you put your mind too, the buzz sticks around for a while too , It's really nice indeed , and a few months cure and she will smell fantastic ,

It smells of nothing but diesel n a very pungent Kush smell the berries nor mango scent hasn’t quite poked thru yet but it definitely smells of quality bud in the veg closet ha may need to upgrade my carbon filter. Gonna move these ladies at the end of the week. Thanks for tuning in!
