Hello everyone! I promised to track this grow very closely this time and ufortunately life got in the way. Here is a quick sumup of the grow. First of all- One of the sour stomper plants unfortunately didn't make it. It died at about week 4. The main stem somehow had rubbed/broken down. That's why it was falling down. It was almost like a mini beaver had chewed it off at the point where the stem touches the riot rooter. At first I thought nothing much of it, maybe it hasn't been rooted in quite well yet or something. And I was constantly touiching it when watering, that made it worse. Soo the leaves were dropping and the plant looked very weak. Then I decided cut thr rapid rooters top layer and found out the severity of the problem. Tried to tape it up and other things, but it was too late. At the end it appeared all good as the remaing plants got so big the I had some space issue so I wouldn't have been able to fit another plant in anyway. At that time I finally made my self-draining saucers. I took me a while and a lot of effort, but finally they were ready and working well. I also installed the self watering system and flowering was starting. Pretty soon I started noticing weird leaf symtoms. Brown spots, different kind. Some plants had it more, some less. Sour Stomper looked pretty good throughout the grow. Mango smiles seemed sensitive and Strawberry Nuggs were pretty strong until the end. The grow was basically me experimenting with the setup- changing watering schedules , changing ppm, ph and all that stuff to keep the leaves looking healthy and it was very hard I have to admit. Probably my hardest grow in that regard. But somehow, the bud leaves remained healthy and the buds really fattened up good. I got away with an amzing 700G dry bud harvest which was def a new record from one grow. And the bud quality is very good too! Next time definetly no more than 4 plants as they got pretty big and I thought it was a little overcrowded. I was doing some good defoliation too. I should have defolited strawberry nugs more tho. Sour Stomper got some amazing bud development from top to bottom because it was was growing next to strawberry nuggets which were really small most of the grow. They actually took the most time to harvest even longer than Mango smile. Mango smiles were ready quite early. Sour Stomper was just in time! I topped sour stomper and both Mangoi smiles, left SNs both normal. Looking back at it, the way I grow them, Should have topped SNs too. Would probably have more space in the middle and longer side branches. Probably wouldn't have been as bushy! I followed the full Terra aquatica feed chart until the end. I was supplementing with CalMag a lot as I thought the symptoms could have been from a CalMag deficiency as this was my first grow with RO water. Overall a very challenging but good grow at the end. First time no mold problems. A record breaking yield for me. Basically surpassed the upper limit for all plant probable harvest sizes. Got good smelling quality bud. Very happy overall and will continue experimenting with Mephisto beans in the future for sure! I guess what I like the most about Mephisto is how close to description the plant is, very stable genes in that regard. Next time I will also have to start feeding plants higher PPM feed faster at the very start. and during flowering. But still not 100% sure what caused the leaf symptoms.

Alright! I'm updating the journal a couple days early bc my birthday is this weekend!😁 Ms. Hypnotic is growing beautifully! Shes a little leggy so I'm going to create a bean pole out of a toothpick as I've done before to give her additional stability! I've still been feeding roughly around every 2 days but she really doesn't need much at all. Next week I will take her into bloom like he sisters if she holds steady this week! Please drop likes, comments, constructive criticism, encouragement and or Happy Birthday wishes! Happy growing!

Week 3: Vegetative Stage – Training, Defoliation, and Entering Full Flower The Apricot Autos have really taken off this week. I’ve been doing a little defoliation here and there, but over the course of training and tucking, I sometimes get a little heavy-handed and manage to break the odd leaf. Even with these occasional slips (you can see it in the pics), the plants are still shaping up nicely and getting huge, though not as much as my previous grow, which was also Fast Buds autos. By the end of the week, the plants have started to noticeably stretch, which I’m happy about since it makes them easier to train. At this stage, I like to train using mental pegs, gardening wire, and leaf tucking. I rarely remove any leaves until I have a clearer idea of the plant’s final shape, which did evolve quickly this week, prompting me to take action. On day 27, one of the plants is entering full flower, while the one with the misshapen leaf is a couple of days behind. The difference between the two is becoming less noticeable, although one is still bigger. Current Setup: Medium: 70/30 coco/perlite mix with Great White Mycorrhizae added during transplant Lights: DLI set to 22 Nutrients: Big Plant Science (introduced midweek) Despite breaking a leaf or two during training, both plants are progressing well, with flowering now fully underway.

Week 11: Pineapple Poison - The Neverending Leafpocalypse! ☔✂ Yo growmies! Mother Nature decided to play catch-up with the rain this week, and let me tell you, the Pineapple Poison took full advantage! Over 20mm of rain in seven days, and this girl exploded like a popcorn kernel in a microwave! We're officially at 138cm now, which is basically towering over my raised bed. It wasn't just height, though. New shoots and leaves popped up like green confetti. So, guess who spent most of the weekend playing hairdresser again? This gal! It was a mainlining marathon. As Bobolancetti put it wisely in the comments: we need to start thinking support for those colossal colas. Less foliage also means better wind resistance, which is crucial here in Brandenburg, land of the giant wind turbines. We can't have our Pineapple Princess getting blown over by a rogue gust! The only thing missing? Flowering. Still nowhere to be seen. *insert cricket noise* Listen, this growth spurt is awesome, but the weekly deleafing routine is getting a little
well, lengthy. My arms are feeling it! Maybe next week, the flowering fairy will finally take pity on us and get this party started? A girl can dream
. S Stay tuned, growmies, because next week, we'll see if the Pineapple Poison finally decides to show us her flowers (and give my arms a break)! High fives all around!

Bonjour Ă  tous les padawans et les maĂźtres jedis Pour cette semaine je prĂ©voit de pratiquer comme technique spĂ©ciale le LST et juste un arrosage. Pour cela comme Ă  mon habitude j'attend le cinquiĂšme noeud ou que je juge la plante robuste. Je profite que cette semaine qui va ĂȘtre relativement calme pour faire un LST appliquĂ© et vous faire un rappel de ce qui est pour moi la meilleure technique pour arroser une autofloraison et la façon dont je pratique le LST. En suivant ces quelques simples conseils vous obtiendrez un rĂ©sultat optimal tout au long de votre culture : Le cannabis est une plante qui n’aime pas recevoir un lĂ©ger arrosage en continu. Il est impĂ©ratif de l’arroser en grosse quantitĂ©, puis d’attendre que la terre soit bien sĂšche avant d’arroser Ă  nouveau! Pour calculer la quantitĂ© d’eau nĂ©cessaire Ă  chaque plante, suivez cette rĂšgle : Le volume d’eau Ă  donner lors de chaque arrosage doit reprĂ©senter au moins environ un quart du volume du pot !! Exemples : pour un pot d’1L, donnez 0,25L d’eau Ă  chaque arrosage pour un pot de 4L, donnez 1L d’eau Ă  chaque arrosage pour un pot de 12L, donnez 3L d’eau Ă  chaque arrosage pour un pot de 30L, donnez 7,5L d’eau Ă  chaque arrosage !etc
 Pour donner un tel volume d’eau, il est souvent nĂ©cessaire d’arroser en deux (voir trois) fois, lentement et uniformĂ©ment sur toute la surface. Disposez de bonnes coupelles sous les pots, celles ci se rempliront d’eau qui remontera dans le pot par capillaritĂ© en moins d’une journĂ©e. Il est Ă©galement trĂšs important d’utiliser un bon terreau de qualitĂ©, avec une bonne capacitĂ© de rĂ©tention d’eau mais qui assure Ă©galement un bon drainage (celui ci doit contenir de la perlite, et/ou de la coco, etc..) Il vous faut alors maintenant attendre quelques jours en sous-pesant rĂ©guliĂšrement les pot avec vos bras. Quand ils seront redevenus trĂšs lĂ©gers, vous pourrez arroser Ă  nouveau !! En effet, comme l’eau pĂšse beaucoup plus lourd que la terre, un pot gorgĂ© d’eau pĂšse plusieurs fois le poids d’un pot d’une plante prĂȘte Ă  ĂȘtre arrosĂ©e. Avec un peu d’entraĂźnement, vous apprendrez donc trĂšs rapidement Ă  sous-peser vos pots pour savoir quand une plante a soif. C’est une technique Ă  la fois trĂšs facile et trĂšs efficace, et qui peut ĂȘtre appliquĂ©e Ă  toutes les plantes en pots ! En arrosant de cette façon, en gĂ©nĂ©ral vous devrez arroser vos plantes tous les 3 Ă  6 jours. Pour cette semaine 3 au jour 17 ma plante fais 12 centimĂštres et son cinquiĂšme noeud apparaĂźt je dĂ©cide donc de pratiquer un LST sur ma plante. Pour ce j'utilise du fil de fer galvanisĂ© que je plante directement dans le substrat en faisant attention de ne pas endommagĂ© les racines car n'oublions pas que ce qui pousse dessus pousse aussi dessous. Jour 17 je pulvĂ©rise du une solution composĂ© d'une cuillĂšre Ă  cafĂ© de savon noir mou diluĂ© dans un litre d'eau en prĂ©vention d'Ă©ventuels nuisibles. Je corrige mon LST suivant la pousse de ma plante ... Pour ma par c'est la maniĂšre dont je procĂšde. Comme promis petit rapel de: Quand commencer Ă  appliquer la technique LST De nombreux cultivateurs commencent la manipulation dĂ©s que les plantes possĂšdent entre 3 et 6 nƓuds ou une paire de feuilles. Durant cette premiĂšre Ă©tape de la croissance, le tronc encore flexible est pliable sans risque qu’il ne se casse, mĂȘme si au fur et Ă  mesure du dĂ©veloppement de la plante il sera de plus en plus difficile de le plier. Nous pouvons continuer Ă  guider la croissance des branches durant toute la culture, mĂȘme durant la floraison, ce qui pour cette Ă©tape reprĂ©sente un grand avantage face Ă  la taille, qui n’est pas du tout recommandĂ© une fois que la formation des tĂȘtes commence, cela stressera en effet la plante, ce qui aura pour effet de retarder la rĂ©colte. Comment appliquer la technique de guidage LST Si nous sommes prudents, la flexibilitĂ© naturelle des fibres du cannabis permet de plier leur tronc et branches avec une relative facilitĂ©e, mĂȘme durant la floraison des plantes. En utilisant une corde fine, nous pouvons accrocher la pointe de la plante Ă  la base du pot par exemple ou Ă  un tuteur que nous aurons plantĂ© dans le substrat. Nous plierons le tronc avec prĂ©caution et nous le fixerons avec la corde, Ă  partir de lĂ , nous pouvons augmenter progressivement la tension de la corde, chaque jour un peu plus, jusqu’à obtenir la position souhaitĂ©e. Soyez attentif Ă  la rĂ©action de la plante, essayez de ne pas appliquer trop de pression sur la corde et rappelez-vous que la flexibilitĂ© des branches peut varier d’une plante Ă  l’autre. Pour obtenir de meilleurs rĂ©sultats, il suffit de suivre quelques rĂšgles simples. Pour commencer, nous devons choisir une corde fine mais pas trop pour ne pas blesser les troncs au fur et Ă  mesure qu’ils grandissent et qu’ils deviennent plus gros. Nous pouvons utiliser des crochets en plastique souple ou de n’importe quelle autre matiĂšre flexible pour Ă©viter d’endommager les plantes. SpĂ©cialement en intĂ©rieur, utiliser des cordons en plastique de couleur (voir les diaries de @Silky) est trĂšs pratique pour voir facilement les accroches et faciliter le travail au milieu du rĂ©seau formĂ©s par les cordes, les tuteurs, les mailles ou les supports que nous aurons dans la culture. Bien entendu, en culture extĂ©rieure et surtout en guerilla nous ferons juste le contraire et nous utiliserons des matĂ©riaux de couleur qui n’attirent pas l’attention pour que notre jardin reste discret. Pour stresser les plantes au minimum, la mieux est de rĂ©aliser ces manipulations le soir ou juste aprĂšs que les lampes en intĂ©rieur s’éteignent, ce qui leur permettra de se remettre durant la nuit. Normalement, le jour suivant nous pourrons observer comme les pointes des branches que nous avons pliĂ©es se dressent de nouveau vers le haut Ă  la recherche d’une source de lumiĂšre. Que la force soit avec vous

6/1 she is in flower. Gave her a feeding yesterday. 6/2 she is starting to fill out and has good color. She is a stinky little plant. Someone told me cheese is really skunk#1 that the name was changed in England to cheese. 6/5 she is moving along. She is not very tall but her buds are getting thick fast.

Excited to see the pistols keep coming and coming I have such tight spacing that the buds will probably start connecting by the end of the week on the Royal Gorilla Day 19- Tomorrow I will tie some branches down to open up the plants more. The LSD plants needs it the most!

End of day 27 flower for White Widow and Royal Gorilla. White Widow seems to be packing on more weight then RG but both are starting to get frostier by the day. Day 3 flower for Platinum Banana and Critical. They are showing flowers now Lollipop all 4 girls and changed all reservoirs to fresh nutrients. WAiting to refill my CO2 tank so these girls can pack on my weights. Take care and keep growing my friends...

Nach dem Toppen zeigt die Pflanze nun erste Anzeichen der VorblĂŒte. Zwischen den Nodien sind kleine weiße HĂ€rchen sichtbar, und das Wachstum hat sich leicht in die Höhe verlagert. Das Laub ist tiefgrĂŒn, stabil und ohne VerfĂ€rbungen. 🌿 Pflege & Maßnahmen Weiterhin Orgatrex + Bactrex im Gießplan, um das Bodenleben stabil zu halten. Leichte Lichtanpassung zur optimalen Ausleuchtung der Seitentriebe. Luftfeuchtigkeit gesenkt auf ca. 50 – 55 %, um Schimmel vorzubeugen.

Week 4 So we're 1 week into flowering. The growth has been amazing. The plants are taking the nutrients nicely. I just over watered one a bit, I'd let her dry out a bit before I continue to water. I also started to shaping th stems so the light distribution is equal. Don't for get to use my code STLVDXW for an extra 15% off your next order at fast buds #fastbuds See yal next week!

Week 4 My girl reaches her final size. I took the opportunity to put the scrog that will be more to support the buds weight. Despite the initial deformity of the leaves, the plant has a very healthy aspect and a very balanced coloring, so I believe that this adventure will not influence the flavor of the flowers. In few weeks... HARVEST TIME 😋 Day 22 Hard defoliation on fan leaves.

8-26 (Day 70)- Have the feeding corrected from last week now and everything has been pretty stable. Not had any real issues with the temps or RH, the dehumidifier is keeping things perfect. I have been checking the back left plant to see where the trichomes are and they are still all pretty much clear. That plant seems to be a bit ahead of the others, but will just continue to monitor and feed regularly (Around 4-5 gallons a day to the res). Monday will be switching to the full tilt instead of the bulky b. These girls are so sticky and sweet smelling. I am super excited for these girls to finish and see how I've done quality wise with my first grow and already looking forward to the next run and correcting some mistakes ive made this run. As always any tips and recommendations always welcome!
