Week 3: Adapting and Thriving
Transplanting to Larger Pots
This week, I transplanted the plants into 11-liter fabric pots filled with Plagron coco coir mixed with perlite (70/30). The small pots were already root-bound. It's often said that a plant will stop growing when the taproot reaches the bottom of the pot. Personally, I think this is nonsense, but we'll see. This transplant provides them with more space for root development and better aeration, promoting healthier growth.
Growth Observations
The plants are showing significant growth, with vibrant green leaves and sturdy stems. The increased light exposure from the greenhouse setup is clearly benefiting them. Their resilience is impressive, and they appear to be adapting well to their environment.
Feeding and Watering
As the coco mix dries out, I am preparing for their next feeding. Following the Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding chart, I have increased the nutrient solution to an EC of 1.0 mS/cm. This should provide them with the necessary nutrients without the risk of nutrient burn, especially for autoflowering strains. I will not go higher than this concentration to ensure their safety.
Improved Weather Conditions
The weather has improved significantly, with very little rain and temperatures ranging between 19°C and 22°C for the next few days. This stable weather is ideal for the plants, providing them with consistent conditions to continue their healthy growth.
Daily Care Routine
My daily routine includes checking the plants in the morning and evening, adjusting the greenhouse openings as needed, and monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. This consistent care helps me stay on top of any changes and address them promptly.
Looking Forward
As we progress into the third week, I am excited to see how the plants continue to develop in their new, larger pots with the adjusted nutrient levels. The combination of a controlled environment, balanced nutrition, and diligent care is setting a strong foundation for their growth.
Update on 11.06.2024
Today, I fed my plants for the second time this week. During this feeding, I adjusted the nutrient amount for the vegetative phase (2/3 of the recommended amount from Terra Aquatica):
CalMag: 2 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.45 mS/cm)
Grow: 1.2 ml/l
Bloom: 0.8 ml/l
Micro: 0.4 ml/l
EC: 1,166 ms/cm (536 ppm PPM-500/TDM)
PH: 5,83
The plants were watered with approximately 20% drain.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey.

📆 Semana 7
La Grease Monkey está en modo bestia esta semana.
Los cogollos han seguido engordando con fuerza y cada vez se ven más densos y cubiertos de resina. Las flores principales ya empiezan a tener ese aspecto compacto y brillante que promete potencia, mientras que las hojas cercanas están totalmente salpicadas de tricomas, como si las hubieran rociado con azúcar glas.
La alimentación sigue basada en XpertNutrients, sin cambios drásticos. Solo he ajustado mínimamente las proporciones para no frenar el ritmo que lleva. El riego sigue afinado al detalle: lo justo para mantener activa la microbiota del sustrato y evitar saturaciones.
Los Adlite continúan haciendo un trabajo brutal. La penetración lumínica está ayudando a que incluso los cogollos de las zonas medias e inferiores mantengan una buena densidad. Todo el dosel está funcionando como una unidad, lo que se traduce en una floración muy equilibrada.
Las condiciones ambientales siguen bajo control: 22-25 °C de temperatura, y humedad en torno al 55%. Estoy reforzando la ventilación para prevenir cualquier susto ahora que los cogollos empiezan a cerrarse más.
El aroma se está volviendo todavía más intenso: una mezcla cremosa, dulce y con ese fondo diésel que le da el toque agresivo típico de esta genética. Los tricomas siguen lechosos en su mayoría, con alguna señal de maduración incipiente, pero aún no es momento de pensar en tijeras.
Crecimiento firme, flores con presencia y resina a punta pala…
¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

The crystals are just insane .
The buds are gaining weight now still have 3 or so weeks so I’m not too worried
All in all a good week
Cheers friends.

Day 54 from seed and the canopy games began, i gave them all some defoliation and instal first net, also started to do some low stress training to guide them out.
Day 54 and i had to bring to this side of the tent my little Kushi with is from my other diares but she had no space there, so i moved her next to the competition side 😁😝 I’m also making a water system, i will keep doing the watering manually, but with the help from a “auto/manual” system.
Day 54 CS have 2 very distinct phenotipes, a normal one with an amazing black pepper smell with a garlic touch and an old school candy smell mixed within, the other one, with i think is a rare one for the chocolate skunk, is smeling amazingly amazing 😅 she as fruit in it like tangerine and orange, and shes sweet and so but so strong smells, im in love with her, and she stretches more them the other 2 also, she provably will b the keeper from the CS department.
Day 54 and I topped CS1 lets see how she reacts 😆🤞💚
Day 54 and TP1 and TP2 are amazing, this girls are so strong and resistant, they are fast growers and they look like winners to me, both of them , caps off to @sweetseeds for such a good job on the genetics department, keep it up guys 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Day 55 and my water system is ready for testing 😅 i know i should test before its all in, but its a non stop live i have so no time , always beliving 😅🤞💚 tomorrow we will know if it works or not 😆😁
Week 8 day 3 and I finally got the water system working and running properly, I’m still plugging in snd out , but this will make my life so much easier, withs results in more free time to dedicate my girls.
Tested my run out today and came out with ec over 2.0 meaning next watering mb the 2 nexts ones will be just ph water with regulator and some enzymes. I will keep testing 😆 as for the rest they all look amazing and I’m pretty happy with both genetics , this sad the Tropicanas are way more stable comparing with the chocolates, but still very early in the run 😝😅💚
Little battle between Topicanna Poisen from @sweetseeds vs Chocolate Skunk from @00Seeds (just for fun)
TP = Tropicana Poison
CS = Chocolate Skunk
Light Lumatek Zeus 465W compact pro at 75%
All i grow is medecine for myself, nothing to sell, dont even ask !!!!
Stay safe and do it with love for the love ❤️ 🙏
💚Growers Love to you all 💚

It was a little finicky it had an average response to the training. There might have been a period of high ph but it pushed forward regardless. Will prob grow again at some point.

At 84 days from seed, 29 days into bloom, she is drinking about a liter (1/4 gal) per day. The stretch has stopped. I continue to defoliate lightly so light and wind can get to the bud sites. Her harvest window will start in another 30 days so there is not much to do but wait. Highest temps in the tent this week were 79F, lowest were 73F. I read somewhere that purplish tones are more likely to show themselves if you have cool nights. Unfortunately, as I'm growing during the summer without AC, I don't think I'll be able to create cool enough nights to see purple leaves. She smells great though and is putting on weight well. I am excited to watch her develop.
I am also trying out Terpinator for the first time. I am using it at much lower dosages than recommended. I plan to increase the amount I put in when I get comfortable that it won't burn my lady.

10/27/2025 - Day 63
Short Facts:
- 45cm tall
- VPD @ 1.2
- Light @ 60%
- Showing very small flowers
-----------------------------------------------------
It doesn’t look like there’s going to be a big stretch. She’s staying smaller and more compact than the Papayton.
I defoliated her a little bit and tried to remove a few of the very small branches, but she’s just too compact, so it wasn’t that easy. I decided to stop for now.
She grows as she grows. 😎 I can’t change much about it, so I’ll just let her do her thing. Honestly, apart from being smaller and very compact, there are zero problems. Everything else is perfectly fine.
Nothing more to report this week, except that I decided not to switch the normal Blumats to the Blumat Maxi anymore. Instead, I’m watering from the bottom occasionally whenever the Blumat Digital Pro shows a high value, meaning the soil moisture is getting too low.

she has developed really well. due to lack of space i have now moved her from the greenhouse to the outside. where she also got a nice rain shower straight away. due to the LST training she has stayed nice and small and has developed some nice little buds. i hope she copes well with the move to the outside.

I haven't veen around for a while but my plant kept on doing her thing, she looks gorgeous now, she is full on flowering and I am extremely happy with how this grow is going, in the next week or 2 I will replace that 45w blurple with 60w led quantum board filled with samsung lm281b diodes which should set me up for blooming perios when the buds stack, I nearly filled the 55x45cm screen and I'm expecting high yield after I install the new LED board

Hi growmies,
unfortunately I skipped a day checking on the reservoir and the plant must have consumed a lot more water than expected, probably due to the heat we are experiencing where I live, since I realized tip burn getting worse everywhere I checked the ec, which was close to 3 😳, topped up with RO water right away and this seems to have stopped it. Other than that I don’t think it bothered the plant too much either, as she keeps on swelling bigger and bigger. A&B fertilizer was reduced already and once, either next week or the one after I’ll start flushing, depending on the stage of ripening.

Missed last weeks updates but havent had much interaction with the plants lately. They look fine with that though. 🤷♂️🏽
Veg tent is a little overfull so I tried to point out which ones were the white widow for you. The other in there are glueberry clones in the back and moose n lobstah clones in the front. Might document the m & l clones not sure yet.

Dia de la cosecha (63) para Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto
Una mezcla de emociones entre la alegría de cosechar estos grandes cogollos y la "tristeza" de que ya no formará parte de mi jardín
Una increíble pieza genética desarrollada por @fastbuds_official , ejemplo de como el cutting-edge development de las Autoflower modernas nos puede dar una planta lista para ser cosechada en menos de 60 días (recogida a 63 días por el gusto personal de los tricomas más ámbar) con un perfil terpénico impresionante.
Ella ha desarrollado cogollos duros como piedras y con un olor que se mueve entre bol de frutas, cerezas en su punto justo de maduración y un toque de leche cremosa.
Una cepa que todo el mundo debería cultivar alguna vez en su vida, y que sigue elevando a @fastbuds_official al olimpo de los breeders modernos de autoflorecientes.
Gracias por esta oportunidad de cultivarla FastBuds!

Day 29: LST is done. 600W LED, 20 hours on 4 hours off the same with ventilation. Insetvrhe lamp approx 36 cm away. Water intake: 75 ml per plant plus triggering, humidity around 60 percent. Fertilization is on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with BioBizz family, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday bat guano and Epsom salt. Critical Orange Punch started flowering se grows very quick. Rest of them are OK as well they are on the way...
Day 30: I did LST again. I didn't have enough elastic band yesterday so I bought today and bent them better. I also set the lamp closer approx 32 cm.Day 31: I did LST yesterday and bent them. They already "lifted up" their heads toward the lamp. As they grow I will keep bending the main stalk and the side ones. I will try to create a spiral form and spread the plants with time.
Day 32: Almost all of them started flowering except Sour Stomper.
Day 35: Auto Critical Orange is the monster here. She is the most developed and tallestbwoth approx 28cm. (Hard to.measure property because of LST). Pre flowers developing nicely along the plants. I changed the lamp as it needed to my other tent because my other lamp is shit. So I will swap them one week here other week there... End of the week the tallest is Critical Orange Punch with approx 28 cm and the shortest Sour Stomper with 14 cm.

It’s so warm today! Of course I pulled all my plants out to spray with spinosad an feed/water.
+++++++++++
I use a Hudson 2L sprayer. My partner used to work in the film industry and they found this brand of sprai gets the most thorough even coverage for makeup or whatever movie magic the use sprayers to create. It’s great.
+++++++++++
I’m using some baking soda in water to combat some mild pmd, but it’s not bad.
+++++++++++
These ICE BOMBS are troopers. They were definitely affected by the spider mites but hung in there three the various sprays which were hard on leaves even though I pulled them out and didn’t return them under the light until they dried.
+++++++++++
Some fungal gnats come with the humidity so I topdressed with gnat nix. I don’t believe I overwater so I hope that’s the solution! I think I may wait another week or two and get things more stable before moving to flower.

HLG 260w Qb288v1 4000k; 20/4 light schedule. 24 inches from canopy. Temp range 72-81F. RH range 42-55%.
LST has really brought out the potential colas on both plants. One is lagging a bit behind the other, but not by much.
The light is so strong the plants are nearly flat due to LST - 5.5 inches tall Day 28
What should my nutrient schedule be this week? Using Fox Farms soil trio. Thinking 1/4 strength grow big and tiger bloom every other feeding.
Hoping they get a good stretch, trying to get highest yield I can (my first experience not having to purchase cannabis from anyone!)
Watering every 24 hours with 1/4 gallon pH corrected 6.3 well water ( no runoff). Entire smart pots feels light and dry before I water either plant.

Day 97 and the grow box is battling to stay at 16 degrees as the garage drops to -2 degrees. I made my first ever compost tea for a batch of homemade super soil that I’m feeding. I gave the girls a drink of that yesterday, although stopped with the biobizz nutrients a few days ago. Will stick to water and slowly flushing from now on. It’s finally started to smell a wee bit like weed but it’s not noticeable in amongst all my fermenting jars of the various homemade KNF nutrients. I’d highly recommend getting into making your own KNF nutrients….lots of good fun. I started making Fish Amino Acid tonight so the whole garage is looking a bit like I rented storage space to Jeffrey Dahmer.
In the video, the first plant on screen is the Skywalker and the smaller one is the. Orange bud. Both have not grown much in last few days (16 degrees or end of life territory?). I’m looking out for the clear to milky but I can’t really tell with my shitty magnifying glass. I’m fed up smoking ‘session weed’ and got Skywalker on the go in the hope I can tap into that 26% thc they boast about. So don’t want to chop it too early. The second I see one amber trichome, auld Luke is getting the chop. May then leave the orange bud for a bit longer to see if less competition causes it to bulk a bit.
