This little girl started her journey on April 4th with germination into a water glass and finished up on June 27/20 ā€“ Day 78 from germination. She was a fun grow and was very resilient through the whole run. She spent most of her grow time in a 20/4 light schedule. She formed nice frost levels and stayed to a very nice and manageable height of roughly 20ā€ tall without topping or bending her main stem. She was not as fussy about nutrient levels and took them well. She does like her medium on the dryer side though. Small little auto bush of OG Kush crossed with Indica genesšŸ˜ƒ She would make a nice a plant to run while you are vegging out some photos for 6 or 8 weeks as she is not very big in size but will swell up and yield decent weightšŸ‘ She was grown in a 3 gallon fabric pot with coco coir and maybe 15% perlite. She was fed salt based nutrientsā€¦ā€¦..so sorry but they are flushed out and that is what I am more comfortable with. Focus on the early growth with microbes, fungi and kelp!! She was fed the normal pattern with pH being held around the 5.4 to 5.8 range in feeding. Then as flower approached, I gave the pots a more consistent look at the runoff numbers and she was running 7.8pH coming out of her!!!!! WTF. She stayed in her pot that she was planted in and fought this issue all through the rest of her grow. The pH issues started surfacing around week 3ā€¦.as we headed into flower of course. Scratching my head for weeks, I ultimately didnā€™t change anything other than really low pH feeding going inā€¦ā€¦.below 4 idea. For weeks she had 3.9 water going in and still getting 7.8 running off. I initially felt it was related to cheap fabric bags so I cut slits in the very bottom of the bags that stayed and tried transplanting other girls into plastic pots, which it can be fabric pot issues but I am not as convinced anymore for this run that there was an issue there, wasnā€™t sure about giving her Magnesium on top of Magnesium and therefore did I mess her up good on the inside early on in week 2 idea, out of options I changed back to RO water and that seems to have solved my issuesā€¦ā€¦I was using tap water that was not filtered this runšŸ¤¬ The pH was high so that was adjusted but with the ppm being at 185 to 200 range I chose not to buy a filter and just dechlorinated the water only. I was tired of lugging 5 gallon water bottles in and out of the basementšŸ˜ƒ That is a difference from all other growsā€¦..silly for not catching this by week 4! Soā€¦ā€¦.back to lugging bottles in and out of the basementšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ She really started to take shape around weeks 7 and 8 and formed a beautiful little cannabis plant and grew to 20ā€ tall and roughly 18ā€ wide. Main focus with her was to just perform LST on side branches and let the top goā€¦ā€¦.I wanted to just let her go and see what would happen to her main cola for size and heightā€¦ā€¦plus I donā€™t do thatā€¦ā€¦.I always bend over the tops on my grows so this was a little different for myself. She grew very nice leaves and a lot of them. This pheno had a lot of leaves to her and that is fineā€¦ā€¦its not really my first choice in characteristics of a plant though..ā€¦..so much more work at trim timeā€¦ā€¦Green Poison XL Auto, SWS71, was a dream to trimšŸ‘ as a comparison!! She didnā€™t fox tail very much she firmed up her buds towards the end. The resin production was a little slower coming out in her but by week 7/8 she was getting pretty impressivešŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹ White and sticky!! She smelt of woods with citrus notesā€¦..works for mešŸ‘Œ There were no issues at all retaliated to pests or bugsā€¦ā€¦I threw in a couple sticky traps but there werenā€™t any to catch. She handled the high humidity in this run great and there were no signs of any powdery mildewšŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ She is a very stable strain from Sweet Seeds! Day 63 was last feeding, flushed for almost two weeks. Rezin and Liquid Weight still given for one of the weeks but the last week was plane water. In hind-site I think I should have hit her with some Flawless Finish to help get that last bit out of her. She did feed on most of her nutrients but some of the lower leaves were still more green that I would have liked. She was cut down on day 77ā€¦..11 weeks is about what I suspect looking at her in week 7ā€¦ā€¦.this was roughly 8 weeks flower timeā€¦ā€¦makes sensešŸ˜ƒ She grew for 75 days and then I decided what the heckā€¦ā€¦.she needs a hole in her stem to stress her outšŸ˜ƒ I didnā€™t try breaking a branch but rather drilled a hold into the base of her stemā€¦ā€¦something new to try out. I think I will try more holes next timeā€¦.max 3 I thinkā€¦ā€¦then I want to run a couple with cracking their stems and see if there is a differencešŸ‘ I feel more in control of a drill and its accuracy vs bending branches and they snap where they want toā€¦ā€¦.anyway it was worth a try!!!! Worst case, it made it easy to hang her as a whole plant to dryšŸ˜ƒ This girl battled pH issues all her life and as a result the buds were not where I would have liked them. There were not fluffyā€¦..but here were not as hard as I would like for rolling joints, so the whole girl went to concentrates She dried for 7 day as a whole plant, 2 days more in smaller branches, then 1 day curing in jars before dry ice sift. She yielded 74g of dry cured buds, 2.65 ounces. Not badā€¦..I donā€™t think her buds would have gotten a lot bigger but they certainly would have had more weight if they firmed upā€¦..grower issue, not genetics. Soā€¦..lets make some rosin from this girlšŸ¤© The yields on this and making her hash a perfect colour are not what this process is aboutā€¦..letā€™s get that out of the way right awayā€¦ā€¦this is about another way to enjoy and consume my cannabis for my own relaxation and medicinal needs. Taking pictures of rosin is always a challengeā€¦..it is always dark in the pictures unless you are using a nice DSLR to let more light in. Rather than making bubble hash with water, I just used the bags to make a dry ice kief from the buds. Unfortunately I couldnā€™t get a block of dry ice and had to use these cubesā€¦ā€¦.donā€™t like these as much because there are too many surfaces beating your green plant material and your kief goes green before long when shaking. Could have done it with out ice all togetherā€¦..nicer hash but lots left on the plant afterwards that way so yield is low. Used two bags in this extraction, the 220 as the bag for edibles and the 120 as the bag for pressing rosin to smokeā€¦..dry ice hash rosin!! The yield on this from the 74g of bud was 22.4g kief. 220 bag was 12.6g and the 120 bag was 9.8g. Not great I guess but I didnā€™t want to keep going for 4 and 5 minutes with the bagsā€¦..these were roughly 2 minutes with the 220 being 3 minutes on the high side. You can certainly see that the 120 product is more golden in colour than the 220 but since I didnā€™t crazy, the 220 is still a very nice colour. Last step on this journey was then to take the kief and make our rosin. I pressed product using 37um bags with the temp set at 160 degrees. All were done the same for the most partā€¦ā€¦roughly 4 gram presses, the same temperature, and the time. The first presses were 90 to 120 seconds. If a second press was done on the pouch, then it was at the same temp but for only 40 to 50 seconds. The yield on this was just shy of 7 gramsā€¦ā€¦.6.77gā€¦..roughly 30% yield from Kief???,ā€¦..roughly 9.2% from flower???ā€¦ā€¦.would have likely done better right from floweršŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‚ it was fun, regardless of the yieldšŸ˜ƒ Tasty rosin!!!! Canā€™t beat rosin for getting the true tastes of the plants. These numbers are absolutely due to my abilities with extraction.......sure donā€™t judge the genetics based on my returns......she is a frosty plant and will give great returns!!!šŸ‘šŸ‘ Several pictures show that, I hope!! So that will wrap up this diary for Sweet Seeds Killer Kush Auto, SWS56. Certainly give this girl some consideration if you like OG Kush and also have space concerns in your grow. She is beautiful frosty little girl with a punch. Certainly get the usual woody and citrus notes from her rosin and she has a lasting high. She helps to get get you going and willing to finally start cleaning that corner of the room you have been avoidingā€¦ā€¦.watch out thoughā€¦..distractionsšŸ˜ƒā€¦ā€¦next thing you know 40 minutes go by and you are staring at a box of DVDā€™s wondering what happened to CDā€™sā€¦ā€¦.cassette tapes (the art of the ā€œmix tapeā€), 8 tracks, vinylā€¦ā€¦ALBUM COVER ART Baby!!!!!! Then its either back for another rip, or get your crap done because the next rip leads into even less work getting donešŸ˜ƒšŸ˜ƒ Great job as usual @Sweet_Seeds !!! Looking forward to the next oneā€¦ā€¦Cream 47 photoperiodā€¦ā€¦actually, already done germination and a new diary comingšŸ‘šŸ‘ā€¦..compare a 3 gal pot to a 5 gal pot, or a fabric vs air pot, and see what my yield differences are?? Thanks for the read and greatly appreciate the comments Growmies!!!!! Love spending time on a forum for growers to help fellow growers. Much grower love and thanks again for your time, opinions, and suggestionsšŸ™šŸ™šŸ™ Cheers!!

Took her down at day 94 in her 14th week. I did notice budswelling and density increasing in this final week. She was exposed to heat wave temperatures above 95f degrees in the greenhouse, yet took it well. I just had to water heavier than normal and at a daily rate....a rate of about 1/2 a gallon a day. She was flushed for 2 weeks using only TPS signal, ph water, and unsulfered molasses. She smells earthy, bold, and sweet....like a bold caramel latte. As soon as the leaves started fading i figured it was time for the chop. Next week (15) will be the actual harvest info, as she is in drying now and weights cannot be supplied at the moment.

Unfortunately I do not yet know what I did wrong with the grow. The plants had difficulties in the vegetation phase and hardly formed side branches and leaves, which is why the yield was so low ... Nevertheless, the smell and taste of the buds is very tasty. Certainly a very good strain but I could never exploit its full potential ...

Muy contento para ser el primer cultivo, se que los resultados se pueden mejorar mucho, pero incluso con todos los problemas que han sufrido las plantas, al final he obtenido unos resultados con los que estoy muy satisfecho.

This plant has been topped and low stress strained, new leaves are growing. Water is at 6-6.2 as itā€™s had some nitrogen toxicity, thereā€™s a lot of moss in the pot due to over watering. I have no left the plants for nearly a week without water to proper dry out once dry Iā€™ll spray them with water

It was my first grow They were 1meter80 tall. The soil was mixed with othe one from market, because they got to be yellow color, No Nutrients ,watered always before to take photos. I always preffer to give them the Sunn they know. It was a pleasure to care of Them, The next one hope will be Pandora or Sensi Star.

It was a good run considering how it started. I wish I put her in a bigger pot and vegged her for maybe 2 more weeks and I would of ended up with another ounce. I also think I defoliated a lttle too much to early in fear buds werent getting enough light. Jusst under an oz is fine. Im doing a 2 week and 1 month cure so I will split it in half and update later on.

Week 1-3 250watt metal halide Week 4-13 250 watt hps 5 gallon living soil in fabric pot Red clover living green mulch Alfalfa sprouted seed tea (seedling stage) Spinach fermented plant juice ( during vegetative) Calcium phosphate from charred bones ( added during transition to flower) Lacto bacillus (once every 4 weeks) Fermented fish amino acids (during early flower) Top dressed with gaia green powerbloom. (Early flower) I decided to top this plant really last minute 10 days in to flower( yeah I know, probably not the best idea) and it didn't even phase this girl at all. What I learned this grow: Some plants smell more than others( by a lot). Use a filter even when venting outside. The Green mulch was nice until I wanted to top dress. Need to find another form of mulch that I can move. Lay off all the additives a bit. Not sure if any of the things I added really did anything but I like to experiment, and she took it well. I will definately be growing this sexy little plant againšŸ’š
