Getting close!! Chopped a bunch of used up leaves off, took some microscope shots yesterday, got a boom arm coming so I don't have to rely on my steady hand for the microscope shots but still looks cloudy/clear w/o an amber to be seen when looking at the trichomes as of Monday. Pistils are still mostly white but rapidly advancing. Fastbuds advertises a chop day between 63 and 70 so we're in the window and heading in the right direction. A chop before the end of the week is possible.

Day 39 - Did a little defoliating today, I’m hoping it won’t stunt too much. Last two grows, I just let it go but seemed pretty crowded so want more light deeper. Day 40 - It appears the defoliation has really stunted her so will keep an eye on her. She’s starting to smell a bit fruity and I’m loving it. Day 41 - No major changes today, still looks and smells amazing. Day 42 - Looks and smells good still!

Very happy with the size and shape, exactly what I was hoping for. Almost cured the copper defiency then the rain started and I haven't been able to feed the problem plant. Should have it sorted by next update!! 🙏🙏 They have all had strength training but seem to straighten themselves out on the same day and continue growing!

Absolutely zero issues. The pheno continues to impress me over and over. The structure on these clones are just unreal and I'm beyond excited. Took a few leaves here and there to expose new grow and to optimize energy

4/7 Day 31 (AM) - Things have been going relatively well over the last several days, with the exception of the one plant that has been unhappy throughout the grow. I did some light pruning to remove brown/dying fan leaves from the struggling plant but have otherwise been focused on tucking leaves under future bud sites, and keeping an eye on the two that were topped late in week 4, both of which are sending out new shoots. All seem to want nutrients now. I've been very light-handed with the nutrients but started giving them small amounts at least every other watering. At week five it feels like a lot of things are on autopilot now, just normal maintenance like topping off the humidifier and occasionally poking my head in to check on things. Glad I didn't abandon the sickly plant. New growth looks healthy, and it just might pull through. Update (4/8- Day 32 AM): Feeding was very well received by all plants. It's taking some getting used to. I tend to use very little in the way of fertilizer (have read too many horror stories). Still, these guys are showing signs of being hungry on a regular basis, and their daily uptake of water is considerably more than when I started. For the time being, I have been using about 50% of the recommended amount of FF Grow Big, close to a normal recommended amount of CalMag, and about 50% of the recommended amount of P-K (due to deficiencies noted in some leaf margins). I've been testing the runoff and it's coming out between 6.5-6.6 consistently. No signs of drooping or overwatering. Right now, they appear to be happy if watered about every other day, and they're taking on about 1/2 gallon each pretty consistently. Next time I'll probably use nothing but pH adjusted water, just to avoid nutrient build-up.

Soooo week 10 :) These girls are looking reeeeaaal nice SS1 (on the left) is <25 days from harvest and SS2 has still a while to go id say 😄 But all in all things are looking super good buds are looking super nice and frooosty with SS1 starting to shift its energy into budding whereas SS2 is still throwing out some wild pistols :) The smell is super strong which I’m happy about, some staaaanky skunkalicious bud🤤 I have stopped giving SS1 nutes, giving her only water after her flush in week 9and she’s doing awesome! SS2 I’m still giving biobizz grow and bloom 0.5ml/l ea. And she is also loving her environment Got some mushies growing in the one pot though 😄 pulled them out just to be safe still have to do some research :) might have something to say about the enviroment at the surface of the soil. ??

Extrema producción de tricomas de esta variedad! Gran parte de los frutos lo usaré para extraer rosin, su resina se ve ideal para este propósito. Fragancia exquisita a ponche de fruta dulce, con notas ácidas y un fondo de especias. Como mencioné anteriormente dejaré la parte de la reseña de efectos, sabores y sensaciones para cuando los cogollos estén secos y curados, por ahora solo puedo apreciar lo que mi vista y olfato me permiten captar. Totalmente conforme por la calidad de estas flores y agradecido de los amigos de Sweet Seeds por la confianza. Será hasta la cata entonces, buenos humos!

Second run with this soil so hopefully its even better than b4. Charged the 3 lbs. biochar with dr earth flower power, mother earth flower girl, one shot, coconut and aloe water for a month. Added a bag of ocean forest and a bag or organic promix to the reuse dirt from my pots with cover crop...added 4 pounds insect frass, 4 pounds marine cuisine, 2 lbs bokashi (plus weekly juice ffrom bucket for teas). 12 lbs One Shot, 2 lbs azomite, and 6lbs lime. Cooked for 6 weeks. Cover crop and mulch to top it off. Used OregonismXl sprinkled on roots and in hole at transplant Will brew teas of reharge, aloe and coconut water powder, insect frass, homemade l.a.b.s, oregonismXL, and worm castings. 100 gal res and blumats for irrigation. Im still workin on organic/dry ammendment style growing so any tips would b appreciated Strains are :wedding cake (3), memberberry (2) The D (3), gelato (1), gorilla blue (1), blackberry moonrock (1) ( hopefully), purple punch (1), a leftover do si do (1) and girl scout cookie (1) (thin mint).

WW2 collapsed on itself and I didn’t notice for 2 days lmao... oops. All is well though I tied the buds up and added some support to help them stand. The other Northern Lights has been harvested and dried, and is just entering curing now after a week and a half. Even after just a few days of jar time it’s got an amazing scent and flavour. I think I dried WW#1 too much by burping too often and too much or something, smell is super light and bud is now pretty dry. However, it’s extremely smooth, has a good smell (just light). And it absolutely kicks my ass! WW#2 in the tent has nice looking buds considering how yellow and defoliated she is super impressed! The last NL has some funky buds going on compared to the last. Fox railing and such. Doesn’t bother me any but I’m wondering if it’s a sign of stress or genetics?

Welcome to my CBDV diary. Has been blast.. there's so much more to growing a CBD plant, my point is I'm far from where I want to be with the Quality of the end product as far as density goes. (I got the quality part down) she's 1 stinky sticky ass bitch. Wk 9 Day 58-63 Plant was kept on feed till the bitter end. She was confided to the 70cm2 for her last few weeks of life but I've no doubt, if I had of kept her going under the FC 3000 she would of reached deeper down and gave me denser buds on top. There is so much airy ripe bud below I'd say it'll make up for 1/3 of the overall harvest. Which will be quite a lot. Id say in the 80-100g no doubt. She has some major big buds that are stacked with swollen calyexs that are glistening and very sticky. I can she's had enough. I didn't have the light to finish the end that the FC 3000 created on a lot of my autos. On most I clipped it away after I had to confine my plants to their own tents for good. But, she kept eating. Wk10 63-67 I stopped everything nutrient wise. And let her finish the ride out on water until day 67 and she gladly ate what was in her pot and showed no signs of wanting more, so I hard flushed her 1x pot value (11L) and got a ppm of 900ish, so 2x (22ish) more the pot value until it came down to 210. And for 3 more days I left them girls drink what they could from the pot and left them under my 100w where they've lived the past 3-4 weeks and I'm gonna pull them this week, they are resting 30hrs already and then I'll pull them, and harvest them whole, roots and all will be pult and I'll shake the clay off, bag the roots and hang dry upside down, (so no dirt falls on the buds while drying from the roots) and will dry at 55-60 rh with a temperature of 17-19c. I'll try keep the RH around 59 but I'm not gonna worry too much if it differs from that range. I already cut a wee bud off her the today, just a small 1 to try her for taste. And I'll rate it on harvest. As she's low on CBD, I'll rate her on taste. But, she'll be a nice addition to my full THC smoke no doubt. Never really removed any substantial growth from her to even call it a defoliation, there really was no need. I done a decent job at LST and my plants got rotated every day and I pult nodes/leafs this way and that. So, I'm happy with the results. She has a lot of girt and not too much lollipoped with a good amount of CBDV bud in 70 days. Very nice indeed.. Thanks so much for looking at my diary guys. I hope to do better the next time. But, as I am using dry additive powders I'm sure I'll be able to dial in that key nutrient ratio for my CBDS. She's been my biggest auto of this grow. At 71cm tall, and a big ass cola I am very happy. She has a lot of girt and stinks fruits, mainly passion, I'm guessing. As I've learnt, you don't know the true smell of your weed until you get at least a 2 month cure on it. Harvest Day.. Day 70 was done on day 65 then I left as I like my weed little on the harsher side. She very punchy. Has like a deep wood smell but very citruses with hints of tropical fruits. I've harvested 6 autos today. And, its hard to pick up the smell. Very sweet smelling and citrus fruits. (Ill give a more independent smell profile upon the trim and hopefully she'll come into her true smell upon a 2 month cure. As all my bud is given) To my sponsors from kannabia thanks so much for allowing me to try this plant. I've loved growing it. Hopefully I'll do it more justice on my next round of growing it. And, to my sponsor from marshydro, she's a rock star. Thanks very much for all your help. COUPON FOR MARSHYDRO Use code "ggs" at any official marshydro site for a discount. FC 3000 & MARSHYDRO LIGHTS The FC 3000 300w it has a high ppfd 1525 umol/s, 2.85 efficacy and has the new UV addition which brings it closer to the (RA) spectrum, that's the Sun spectrum. The FC-FC-E has this, Also it has a much even PPFD making for a more evenly grown canopy and has a deep penetrative light as it allows you to move the light closer to your canopy with a reduced risk of light stress. The TS versions are a great light to. These are different though. As they have a much higher ppfd in the middle, so I suggest you rotate them plants and move em about to get the best out of the high PPFD And to the community. Much respect for anyone that can grow their own bit of chronic. Fair play to you. Enjoy your harvests and thanks for tuning in. Be sure to drop a like or comment so I can visit your diaries. Either way, thanks for dropping by.

Oh boy, what a week have they got Sick PH was very high. Didn’t know what to do so the last week and a half. I’ve been flushing them bringing the pH down little by little trying to go gentle eventually the last flash show PH at 6.8. Which is OK anything between six and seven is considered optimal range for cannabis plant. Today I shut Lemon cherry Gelato. PH after runoff is 6.8 I used 1gal added 4ml of Gold leaf

Stretch 10 centimètres Jour52 légère defolliation et arrosage avec deux litres d'eau ph6.3 Petit rappel sur le meilleur cycle de lumière pour les autofloraisons QUEL EST LE PLANNING LUMINEUX OPTIMAL ? Le cannabis à autofloraison peut survivre avec à peine 5 heures de lumière du soleil par jour. Mais si vous voulez que vos plants s’épanouissent, atteignent le pic de leur puissance et produisent une lourde récolte, ils ont besoin d’au moins 18 heures de lumière par jour. Le planning optimal de lumière pour la culture en intérieur du cannabis à autofloraison est un 20-4 constant pendant tout le cycle de vie. Bien entendu, des plannings de 18-6, 20-2 et 24 heures non-stop ont tous leurs avantages, mais nous avons obtenu les meilleurs résultats avec le planning 20-4. Les cultivateurs en extérieur peuvent potentiellement lancer la culture dès le printemps. Cependant, nous recommandons toujours de faire germer les graines et de cultiver les jeunes pousses en intérieur sous des lampes artificielles pendant une semaine ou deux pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats. Nous parlerons des options en extérieur plus en détail un peu plus bas. LE CYCLE DE VIE DU CANNABIS À AUTOFLORAISON La plus grande différence entre le cannabis à photopériode et à autofloraison est que l’horloge tourne pour une auto dès le moment où la coque de la graine s’ouvre. Le cycle de vie post-germination de la grande majorité des variétés à autofloraison modernes est de 8-12 semaines au total. Au contraire des variétés à photopériode, les autos n’ont pas besoin du planning lumineux courant 12-12 pour faire la transition vers la floraison. Une variété à autofloraison progressera dans son cycle de vie indifféremment du cycle jour-nuit. CROISSANCE VÉGÉTATIVE ACCÉLÉRÉE Il est presque impossible de délimiter la phase de la jeune pousse de la croissance végétale avec les variétés à autofloraison de nos jours. De plus, en 30 jours, la plupart exploseront soudainement en phase de floraison. Donner aux autos un bon départ, solide et sain est un facteur critique pour une culture réussie. Beaucoup de choses peuvent se passer pendant une semaine avec un hybride à autofloraison vigoureux en culture. Il n’y a pas non plus beaucoup de temps pour la transplantation. Nous recommandons d’utiliser notre kit de germination ou de planter directement dans les premiers et derniers récipients dès le début. Des pots/récipients en plastique de 10-20 L avec de nombreux trous de drainage au fond sont parfaits. Les Air-Pots sont encore mieux. Beaucoup de cultivateur découvrent à leurs dépens que les petits pots ne sont pas durables pour les hybrides autos modernes plus grands. Préparez-vous à devoir ajuster quotidiennement votre lampe de culture pour éviter de brûler le feuillage. De plus, tout comme les variétés à photopériode, les conditions environnementales optimales pour les jeunes plants à autofloraison sont des températures entre 20 et 25 °C et une HR dans une fourchette de 50-70 %. En outre, les besoins en nutriments seront considérablement plus faibles que les variétés à photopériode. Il n’y a donc aucune bonne raison de ne pas cultiver bio. Généralement, les autos préfèrent avoir un milieu de culture légèrement fertilisé et bien aéré. Les terreaux légers et/ou le coco sont des substrats fortement recommandés. La plupart des cultivateurs préfèrent des lampes CFL blanc chaud, LED et MH pour la courte période végétative. Cependant, les lampes HPS à double spectre sont tout aussi efficaces et probablement plus pratiques à utiliser. FLORAISON RAPIDE ET FÉROCE Dès que vous pouvez voir les pistils pousser à partir des premières fleurs, vous pouvez vous dire qu’en 45-60 jours, les plants finiront le cycle de floraison et seront prêts à la récolte. Que vous soyez prêt ou non. Mais vous serez prêt, car vous aurez fait les ajustements nécessaires en temps et en heure. Les apports en engrais de croissance végétative à un dosage faible à moyen seront remplacés par des nutriments pour la floraison et des doses appropriés de compléments et boosters de floraison. Une fois de plus, un régime alimentaire spartiate est recommandé. Pas besoin de changer le planning des lampes, car vous allez suivre votre planning originel jusqu’à la récolte. Mais il faudra vous assurer que les températures ne dépassent pas les 28 °C et vous devez réduire votre HR vers une fourchette plus basse de 40-60 %. Les plants vont s’étirer à des degrés divers. Quoi qu’il en soit, vous devez faire attention et toujours maintenir une distance optimale entre la lampe et la canopée. Un ensemble de cordages ou de crochets réglables rendront la tâche bien plus aisée. Ne vous imaginez pas que toutes les autos développeront une structure courte de buisson, à moins que le sélectionneur ne donne des données qui le suggèrent. Naturellement, les deux dernières semaines de floraison devraient être réservées à un rinçage en profondeur du milieu. De l’eau pure, ou une solution de rinçage légère fonctionneront très bien. Quand la majorité des poils ou pistils sur les fleurs auront changé du blanc à l’orange/rouge, vous devriez passer au rinçage. Ne sautez pas cette étape finale critique. Vous méritez les fleurs les plus savoureuses, sans contamination. COMMENT LES AUTOS RÉPONDRONT AUX TECHNIQUES DE TAILLE ET DE PALISSAGE ? La réponse courte : très bien ! La plupart des variétés à autofloraison de nouvelle génération répondront très positivement au LST. Et tant que vous taillez tôt, l’étêtage et le fimming peuvent multiplier les tiges de têtes et en plus booster les rendements. De plus, la méthode ScrOG peut être combinée avec toutes ces techniques pour un rendement maximum. Cependant, la culture à grand volume utilisant la méthode SOG est probablement le style de culture le plus populaire à présent. Un nombre croissant de cultivateurs d’autos expérimentent avec les mêmes pratiques courantes de taille et de palissage à haut rendement que les cultivateurs de cannabis à photopériode utilisent. Les cultivateurs débutants ne devraient probablement pas se lancer dans une taille ou un palissage intensif ou excessif avant d’avoir de l’expérience. Cependant, plier un peu les pointes de croissance pour créer une canopée plus plate ne peut pas nuire aux rendements. De même, une défoliation minimale pour augmenter la pénétration lumineuse ne stressera probablement pas des plants en bonne santé, tant que vous vous limitez à l’élimination des grosses feuilles nourricières qui font de l’ombre aux sites de floraison. May the force be with you 💪
