This week was no less stressful, but the previous week prepared us. More and more snow turns white. The microscope is ready. Nutrient solution at the maximum recommended parameters. But there is a problem with the tips of the leaves, they turn yellow first and then dry up and turn brown. I think this is the consequence of the maximum ppm. direct sunlight, a running giant fan at a distance of 20 cm, and an unstable ph lvl. There were significant changes in temperature from 16 at night to 31 during the day. The funnest is when it rains after a hot day. and they turn off the electricity at night. A humid environment of 65-70% without a fan is my nightmare in reality. So a piece of cardboard and energetic hand movements created the wind and the impression that I crazy But there are often good times, when the temperature is 26-27 degrees and the humidity is 45% without a humidifier. The girls smell amazing 😎

Al final sí decidí hacer lst por problemas de espacio ya que la luz es demasiado potente y hay que respetar las distancias recurro a LST me limito a partir la dominancia apical tumbando la hacía un costado y haciéndola girar entorno a la maceta lo máximo que se deje atando posteriormente las ramas alos bordes sacando así el máximo rendimiento de luz en la planta. Tuve pequeño problema de alimentos una carencia de boro y manganeso me hicieron decolorar y hasta perder algunas hojas rápidamente empiezo con fertilizantes de floración y refuerzo el sistema inmunológico a la espera de la floración tengo muchas ganas de ver estas increibles cepas

Ellas quieren florecer, aun continuo luchando para mantener el pH en la zona óptima. Algunos lavados de raíces con pH regulado para que el suelo libere sus nutrientes.

We noticed some bleaching this week on a few of the higher tops and decided to move the MarsHydro again, from 18"to 20" this time..We underestimated how powerful this light actually is.. We no longer have access to a functioning PAR meter so we're relying exclusively on plant response, Google and some guess work to dial ...High light intensity definitely explains why we've been feeding these autos so much lol.. I'm glad we caught this when we did. We gave all plants another moderate feeding after moving the light (still waiting on a calmag re-up) , but I think they'll be just fine 😺👌.. we're hoping that 20" in flower might be the sweet spot..We truly have an autoflower curse, its real, anything that can go wrong typically does lol but it should be smooth sailing from here on out..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone! ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

I'm a few days late on updating this diary as well as feeding my girls (well, just a couple days late on feeding) and the weather is not helping! It's 48F and drizzling out, which is prime conditions for mold production😒 but there's not much I can do about it at the moment. So I did include a video this week to give a better look at the girls (And please ignore me saying Amy aka CBD Gorilla is a late September finisher.. It's actually mid-October, I can't keep anything straight) Jojo is still the runt of the litter, Amy is catching up to her big sisters and Bubba and Ice Cool are still the stars of the show. Nice colas plumping up and soon to be ready👏 I'm excited!

Here's her weekly update. Dawg Daze at Day71/W10 from seed . She just ended her 5th week of flowering. She standing at 22 inches tall after some final LST training on the side colas. Removed some lower fan leaves that where not getting light. Kept the temps between (day)80°-65° (night). And kept the humidity at 30%-45% I removed my companion plant pot to lower the humidity level and give more space for growth since she's reaching her final weeks of flowering .. grown in a 3x3x5 tent under 2x 100w closet case LED in a 3 gallon smart pot. Using kindsoil supersoil only with cocoloco bush doctor and Fed only Tap water every 2 days as needed. She's starting to fatten up now n her scent coming off her is sweet with a hint of lemon. She's starting to pick up some purple violet color on the leaves . Excited to see her finish. .will update next week on her growth. Enjoy.

The size of the flowers seem to be a bit slower putting on weight compared to the last grow, only time will tell. Trichomes production seems to be better this time around 😃

Day 50 overdue feeding and watering. 5g SimPro Bloom half gallon of 6.5PH spring water each. I'll never choose this fertigation method again. So much easier to amend the medium then top dress every 30 days. The plants seem normal for 50 days from seed, but not normal for a plant that is supposed to be harvest ready 60 days from seed. A few people here on GDs ran this strain way passed 60 days and maybe this is why. It's possible some phenotypes just take longer. No smell and no trichomes at this point. I would guess they need another 25 to 30 days to nug up. Day 52 they are both praying but still cannibalizing themselves. 5g isn't enough. Considering a top dressing. Day 54 - pulling 5 yellow leaves per day. This is not nutrient deficiency, these plants are fading. SMH I am behind pissed! Wasted 2 months of tent space and nutrients. I didn't do everything right, but the lesson for me is to stay away from fast strains. This is actually motivation to switch to photos. More forgiving of the small mistakes. In this case I overwatered in early veg. I should have tossed them both then. My preamendment ratios were off and I switched to water feeding during preflower. All of this has resulted in a plant that looks to be done in a week with marble sized fluffy buds that have zero trichomes and no smell. PISSED OFF!!!!! I'm learning through my failure but it still sucks! Day 55 Watered both with rain water, CalMag, and SimPro Bloom. I know CalMag isn't recommended in flower but I don't care about this bull crap plant anymore. I'm popping new beans and am gonna run these two as far as possible to see if I can get a decent top cola at least. Still pretty pissed. Day 56 Pics show how they respond to watering. Sheryl is praying, Candace leaves are up, but not praying like Sheryl. The only smell on either is from a stem rub. No visible trichomes. Not when I even zoom in. So odd! Day 58 Finally have some odor! These plants are growing like a regular auto-flower. I've been freaking out because the breeder says it's a fast strain (60 days). The lesson here is to always listen to the plant. Scrap the website crap and pay attention to pistils, leaves, and trichomes. They look and smell good for day 58. The yellow leaves are likely due to me adopting an abbreviated / hybrid feed schedule to suit 60 day seed to harvest. The day 55 feeding was 6g of SimPro Bloom in 51oz of water and that seemed to hit the spot. I need a good loupe so I can have a strong finish. Day 61 Fed Candace 1tbl of Terp Tea with Azos & Mykos, plus Fish Sh!t. Half gallon of Spring water. Bottom fed Sheryl Azos, mykos, & half tbls of SimPro Veg in 16oz of Spring water.

• Day 72 Today I started with the RIPEN (3.5 ml / l). 💪🏻 I want to see if buds actually gain mass and weight. 🏋️‍♂️🏼,🏋️‍♂️🏼,🏋️‍♂️🏼,🏋️‍♂️🏼 • Day 75 The finish line begins to be seen on the horizon. 🏁 Looking at the girls tonight, I came up with a term that I read in another diary from which I took a lot of ideas: "buds on buds". 🌾🌾 Buds on buds is the difference that I notice thinking about how they were even just three days ago (see photos).📸 Being at my first experience, I don't know if it is a natural thing or if it is the Ripen that gives its effects. 🎆

26.4.25: The plants were watered with 3 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, containing the following nutrients:- ♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) by Greenleaf nutrients ♡ 1/4 Tsp Ecothrive Biosys. 27.4.25: I LST'd again by adjusting the tie downs. For FastBuds Mystery seed auto #1 and RQS Northern Lights autoflower, this will probably be the last time I adjust the fabric ties, as they're now well in to flower. Hulkberry was LST'd again today, She is looking absolutely beautiful 😍 Retied some branches down and added a couple of clips. Keeping the canopy as even as possible. 29.4.25: HulkBerry is looking great. Nice green colour, without being too dark. The plant has taken well to the LST training. It doesn't need adjusting much at the moment as the growth hasn't become crazy, just now. I think next week we will be in to flower, she has 1 pistil on the lower branch. 😅 Nb: I have added this week a couple days earlier, as last week was a couple days late, trying to get back on schedule 😅 Thanks for checking my diary and hanging out 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

Day 43. Light is on max output, heat enormous and they RUN !!!! thought intensity will stop them a bit , but i think i do only worse ... We have +30 heatwave in UK, i live in attic , so for 4 more days everything will be out of control. Watered today. 6.3 phed water. I love simple and affordable Mars Hydro products, if you can cope with heat TSL2000 can do magic in your tent ! Will update after heat wave us over. Should be in 4 days back to +20 ;))) Day 45. They GROW !!!! Distance is insanly small, but i have 30 cm of space left, wont move light for a week, then i will try to have 20 cm at least again. Planing last top up, need two more waterings before it, so it should be on last day of this or first of next week. Thinking to take down all LST at that time, need pots to breath better, too thin fabric, they dont keep form. Day 47. Drink every two days !!! 4 liters goes to nothing !!! Huge, still streching, tops almost rubbing TS2000, heat 30 inside, humidity 65-68 ..... will need heavy clearing again !!! Most stacked Cookie i ever grew, fills in very nice !!! Happy Growing !!!!

I don’t really need it yet but it looks nice 😆🥦 Started with lst today Day 19: started to defoliate just a little bit today 2/3 leaves each plant. Hahaha my kosher #2 looks terrible 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😃🤦‍♂️🏽 I’m really sad that I didn’t mainline my plant……. Will do with my next autos 😃 Day 20: hey guys if you look at my plant #2 you can see that I almost snapped the whole stem haha I bent her 90 degrees directly. But she took it well 😂 Finally some training to turn my plants into monsters 😆
