Week 17 Last week before harvest. Just let the plants ending the maturation process. Good synchronization between the different strains, selected with an approximate identical flowering period. I want harvesting all the plants at the same time. Flowers are dense, hard and thick, pretty resinous. 4 strains = 4 different smells, 4 different colors….🤩 I flushed consciously and stopped watering 4 days before the harvest day. I turned off the light during 48h, with ventilation on. All is ready for the cut. Date is programmed to the full moon period….why not…🤔 I will trim a little bit the plants before cutting and hanging them in the tent with the same ventilation cycle, no light of course…

We had a good bit of strong wind and rain at he beginning of this week. One of the plants was blown sideways. This week has been hotter but he plants seem to be loving it. I was a little surprised that I had to start feeding these. I'm thinking the nutes were leached out by rain. I found out my ph wasn't as much of an issue as I first suspected. The problem was lack of iron. I added an organic iron supplement and it cleared up the yellowing. It also ph'd my nutrient solution to 6. The tops I took and attempted to clone didn't clone. It was a fun experiment though. Overall a great week. I expect to see some pistils next week.

12/09/2025 Last week of nutes and last week of real flowering. Both ladies look just about done. Papaya Cookies is nearly there. Lemon Cherry Cookies isn't too far behind either. But she definitely has the whole week plus a couple days to go. Papaya Cookies might be done by the end of the week, if not sooner. I might have to push her a little more so I can harvest them at the same time. I won't be changing out the water until after lights out as I always do. So today will just be a plain water top off. Well, that's been everyday for like 2 weeks. Lol. But, I noticed both ladies definitely didn't drink as much as usual last night. Another sign that they are almost done. Normally it's close to a gallon a day. This was about a half gallon. Anyway, I won't be recording the morning readings as the water will be changed out today. If it were under the normal night and day schedule, it would be easier to do this, but the AI suggested this time of day for lights out. It's warmer now than at night. Obviously. Lol. So now I have to wait for lights on after the plants have had their rest to change the water out. Then we can take readings. Next week, which will only be 3 or 4 days, I'll be doing a slow wet trim. Or I guess the defoliation I should have done 2 months ago. Anyway, I'll be pulling anything with a reachable stem. I won't be cutting the sugar leaves. That's after drying with my new cannabrush. We'll see how well this baby works. On a final note before lights out, Papaya Cookies has a few buds that are nearly done on the bottom and they are super hard. Really nice smalls. There's a bit of larf, and I can't really reach the buds in the middle, but they seem to be the ones taking the longest. So I think we'll be waiting for those ones to finish. Lemon Cherry Cookies is kind of the same. Lots of bud in the middle that I can't reach. They aren't done and still have loads while pistils. But the buds on top are still swelling, so that's a good thing. We'll definitely see some bigger buds from this little lady. Good afternoon everyone. It's 6:41pm. New water new nutes cut in half. Readings: Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.8 EC: 824 TDS: 409 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 5.8 EC: 874 TDS: 439 So it's 10 pm and I decided to check the pH and whatnot. It spiked to 6.8. What is happening? I cannot get it to stay in range. I don't know what to do here. It has to be something in the roots. I wonder if it's my tap water. It seems to have worsened since I started using it, but I can't afford distilled bottles. I will be ordering distilled for the 3 day flush. But that's only 3 days and I'm saving up for it. Back to the matter at hand. pH spiking. Both plants. The EC and TDS also increased. Not by much, but still increased. The goal is to decrease. Hopefully, with the lower nutes, the roots or whatever gets diluted enough to slow everything down. They're already not drinking as much. So there's very little time. I wanted to get it corrected by today. But nope. Nothin doin. Well, I guess I'll be checking the pH tomorrow morning and changing the water out. I might have to change it in the morning and after lights out. We shall see. If it drops, I'm going to pH it back to 5.8 and leave the water alone. That's the plan. 12/10/2025 So today I checked the readings like everyday. BUT today my back is killing me and I can't lift the shit. It's really annoying. So frustrating. Anyway, Lemon Cherry Cookies didn't change one bit overnight. pH is still at 6.8. the EC and TDS are also in roughly the same spot. But she did drink about a half a gallon and there was no change, so that's good. No increase in nutrient concentration. But the pH man, the pH is brutal. Papaya Cookies dropped her pH down to 6.6, so that's good. Not in range, but still good. Her EC and TDS are also about the same. So same situation but a lower pH. So I popped 3 ml of pH down in and mixed it up. Half gallon went into each container. It did nothing to Lemon Cherry Cookies. The pH stayed the same. But the EC and TDS dropped a little. Papaya Cookies with the gallon, dropped down to 6.2 and the EC and TDS dropped a little bit as well. Readings: Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.74 EC: 922 TDS: 465 Papaya Cookies: pH: 6.5 EC: 867 TDS: 430 Forget everything you just read. LMAO. The numbers increased. I guess it's just a waiting game now. I'm gonna pH the water for both ladies after lights out. This morning I just added the plain pHed water. And not much happened. It's the roots. Gotta be. There's nothing left to look at. Well there's the tiny dose of nutes, but I don't think that's the problem. It could also be from the water itself. It's pretty hard. But I have no idea what to do about that. Is there a water softener that can be used in a bucket? Or would that be a really bad idea? Also, I just thought about this yesterday when I was removing Lemon Cherry Cookies from her bucket into the reserve for the water swap. As we all know, the tail of the roots is super long. So I have to lift it with my hands out of the water. My question is why didn't it ball up like Papaya Cookies? I think they have the same amount of roots, but Papaya Cookies has an actual ball where Lemon Cherry Cookies has a tail and smaller root ball. What gives? Anyway, that was my weekly WTF question. Next week it's gonna be something like why won't this carboflush work? Should I add more? Should I swap out the water... Again?... You know. I'm implementing Murphy's Law here. What can go wrong will go wrong. LMAO. It's all good. I'm preparing for that exact question. I bet it's gonna be increasing EC and TDS levels. That's gonna be the problem. And no idea how to solve it. Swap out the water every few hours? That's crazy. Maybe one or two swaps every day, but not every few hours. A waste of carboflush and water. So I'm super concerned with who will finish first. Papaya Cookies looks like she could be done by the end of the week. Lemon Cherry Cookies looks like she could use the whole week and then some. I know I said this last week, but it is a real concern. And I still have nowhere to put the other tent. But it's only for a few days and not an entire week. Well, hopefully not an entire week. I have to trim in the tent so I can kinda keep the smell concealed. The fan on level 10 with just a side door open should be fine. Plus, I'm only taking off the sugar leaves at that point. So it should be a little faster with this brush thing and less smell will escape. Oh, I'll be using Grove Bags for the curing process. I really do like them. But I still need to add a Bovida pack because of the dry winter air. 12/11/2025 Morning readings after correction. Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.95 EC: 763 TDS: 381 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.2 EC: 946 TDS: 473 I got a couple trichome videos posted for everyone to see. I actually haven't watched them yet, so I'll update shortly. But in bigger news. I found a full fledged flower on Lemon Cherry Cookies this morning. Complete with 1 seed. Then I found a bud with 3 seeds. Not developed yet, but there nonetheless. So that explains why she's taking longer to finish up. I'm hoping it was isolated and those are the only ones. I looked all through the bottom where I found the 2 sites. I think I found one more, but I left it alone. My question is, if I clear out the seeded sites, will the plant mature faster? Good question right?! Because what I read was that seeded cannabis plants will take longer to mature because of seed production, as seeds take 6 to 8 weeks to mature.i had a gorilla cookies that went for like 21 weeks because it got seeded everywhere. No clue how, I never found the pollen sacks. But that plant was super healthy and HUGE. Well huge for an Autoflower in a 3x3 tent with 3 more plants in there. Anyway, I'll definitely have to bring out the 2x2 now. As I said, I have trichome videos and I haven't seen them yet. But I have a feeling that Papaya Cookies is just about finished. As in I could probably start the flush this weeks as I suspected. We'll see though. Oh speaking of healthy plants. Lemon Cherry Cookies is also still unhealthy. I spoke too soon. Still locked out and now more leaves are turning yellow. The weird thing is, I added a very small amount of nutrients. How there's still an issue I don't know. I guess just wait longer? 🤔 Ok, so I just watched both videos. Lemon Cherry Cookies definitely has more time to go. The trichomes are mostly clear toward the middle of the plant. So she definitely has more time to go. Hopefully with any luck, she'll mature by the end of the week. Papaya Cookies has almost all cloudy trichomes. I like a bit of amber in the mix and there is none. So I'm going to wait for Sunday I think then start flushing her. I'll flush for 3 days. So that will be finished on Tuesday. And that's when I should be able to start flushing Lemon Cherry Cookies. Then I chop Papaya Cookies and hang her up. At the same time, I do a 3 day dark period for Lemon Cherry Cookies while she finishes up. In the meantime, Papaya Cookies is happily drying right above her. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to work the environment. I'm thinking I can just keep the temp at around 66° and bring the humidity up to 50% I think that's good. I have to look into it. But it's only for a few days and there's still plenty of airflow. I will be turning 1 fan off though. As to not disturb Papaya Cookies while she dries. Plus I don't need 2 fans for 1 plant this size. So yah, that's my plan. And as long as it works I'm good to go. If it doesn't work, I'll have to bring out the 2x2 and hook it up to the 3x3 and use that exhaust to pull from the tent. I have an extra fan so I can run that as well. For air circulation. Not too sure how I'm gonna keep the humidity up in there. Hmmmm. That's not good. I can definitely keep the temp low, but the humidity is super dry here right now. Well, it'll be 3 days in the 3x3 drying so if the 3x3 isn't ready for both plants to dry, the 2x2 will only be used for like 7 days. With a 10 day dry, that is. I'd rather not rush the drying time. Although, if I can't figure out the humidity, I may be rushing it quite a bit. Like in a very bad way. So I hurt my back and am having trouble even checking the readings. Hopefully it's not all messed up. Also, I've been thinking. Both plants have nutrient lockout. Would it make sense to start flushing Papaya Cookies like tomorrow? She only has about a week left. 12/12/2025 Readings: Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.5 EC: 731 TDS: 364 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.2 EC: 877 TDS: 438

8.03.2022 Proceduto al taglio e al lavaggio delle infiorescenze al 63 giorno di fioritura. Ottimo il risultato finale, in uno spazio di 1,2 m² ho prodotto un raccolto di 540 gr di cime secche e rifilate pronte da fumare💚 Con i ritagli delle foglie e dei fiori più piccoli sono riuscito a tirare fuori un po di kief di prima qualità. Aggiornerò tra qualche settimana con il rapporto sul fumo, dopo che avrò fatto maturare e ruttare le cime in barattoli di vetro.🙏💚

Alright lads 💪🏻 so we’re starting week 2 today - the girls are all having there own individual issues the joys or running multiple strains again 😂👌🏻, but we’re all looking really wellz so left side is looking a bit N def hungry still so I’ve upped the bio grow to 2ml and the right side is still showing she’s still got some nutes left from repot as shes good I’ve just left that to 1ml bio grow. All the clones are looking nice lush green, all starting to take shape now🕺 wait another 2 weeks until I start to flower them.. and see which of my keepers are as clones then take cutz off them before flowering my actual clones tent, keep the cutz in a separate tent and start popping more seeds of this next round. Either ripper seeds new limited edition or lit seeds can’t decide..😅, anyways gang cheers for stopping by until next week and we can see some bud formation happing 💪🏻 Update - end of week 2 of flowering - I’ve given them all a fair defoliation and taken a lot of lowers of to start focusing it on them tops. Still looking a bit pale lack of N but we should be okay if it seems keep progressing al just up feed to 2ml per litre. Other than that it’s going fairly smooth.

The OG Kush made it through her final week of flower...56 days in total. Super sticky and smells like a mix of limonene and pinene and a hint of sweetness on the back end. I'm definitely happy I have a couple more of these beans. Super smooth run, chunky resinous buds. Thank you to everyone that visited to check my first Grow Diary out. You made it a really cool experience ✌️☺️. https://www.instagram.com/ao.grows?igsh=MXR1dWZxMWhlNnF6bA== Check out my Instagram for clips I made for this grow.

Plants dried in the pots for 2days then hang for 2weeks at 60-65%rh. Buds were dense in most cases, they ended up being three totally different phenos but over all the smell was strong and taste was sweet. 8g pop corn and 25g sugar leaves in total.Zkittlez 1 37g total not all is in the pic, the smell was sweet. Zkittlez 2 52gs in total has a very pine like smell. Zkittlez 3 very stanky covered in thc snow white the camera does not do her justice. A huge thanks to @gmslave, @DoDrugs420 and @Mrs_Larimar. @fast_buds you guys are coming up in my next grow!

Continuing to water almost everyday as the pot size is too small and the buds are packing on the weight and frost. I am giving them almost 4 liters of water everyday. I am going to skip today (monday) just to make sure im not promoting any root rot, although I know I will be sacrificing some microbes. I will water them on my Live first thing Tuesday morning. Im noticing a little bit of bronzing on the leaves of one, its something I get almost every grow in flower. Im thinking it is beacuse I need to change my RO filters, as I live in the country and use well water and I think It is a buildup of iron. I have crazy high iron even when I use an RO. I believe my TDS was still 400 with filtration lol. If I change the filters I should be able to get it back down to 100 to 150 ppm. We are on auto pilot right now with this garden, just have to water and nurture and I know I am going to get an amazing result in about 3 weeks or so!

She looks close to being done now so will be watching her trichs. come on girl bulk up.
