Es ist soweit! Am Freitag habe ich die fünf Easy Buds nach knapp 11 1/2 Wochen abgeschnitten und geerntet. Leider musste ich feststellen, dass eine Pflanze ziemlich stark befallen war. Ich vermute eine Milbenart oder möglicherweise Fliegeneier. Unterhalb der Blätter waren etliche dunkelgelbe und dunkelbraune Eier, die man auf den ersten Blick kaum erkennen konnte. Bei genauerem Hinsehen sieht man jedoch, dass sich der Befall auf die ganze Pflanze ausgeweitet hatte. Glücklicherweise blieben die vier anderen Pflanzen verschont. Aus diesem Grund trockne ich die Pflanzen auch getrennt voneinander. Die befallene Pflanze wollte ich nicht direkt wegwerfen, sondern erstmal trocknen lassen. Im Nachhinein werde ich schauen, wie ich mögliche Schadensbegrenzung betreiben kann. Die vier gesunden Pflanzen werden in einem geschlossenen Zelt in einem Trocknungsbeutel getrocknet. Die befallene Pflanze habe ich in dem Folienzelt aufgehängt und mit einer Plane abgedeckt. Nach wenigen Tagen der Trocknung sieht soweit eigentlich alles gut aus. Die Eier scheinen nicht mehr zu schlüpfen, sondern fallen von der Blüte ab oder verschrumpeln zu Kompost. Ich hoffe, dass es dabei bleibt. Der Geruch hat sich nach dem Abschneiden deutlich verändert. Schon nach der kurzen Trocknungszeit kann ich einen intensiveren Geruch feststellen, der sich noch nicht so richtig beschreiben lässt. Die Blüten waren stark mit den sogenannten "Sugar Leaves" verwachsen, weshalb ich sie grob getrimmt habe, um sie zum Trocknen aufzuhängen. Nachdem die Blüten vollständig getrocknet sind, werde ich die Buds noch einmal einzeln trimmen und durch meine Trimm-Maschine von Vevor jagen. Der Ernteprozess hat zu zweit circa eine Stunde gedauert. Die Pflanzen waren zum Zeitpunkt der Ernte noch sehr gesund und kräftig. Die Verwurzelung war trotz des geschlossenen Topfes sehr gut. Die schönste Bud hat definitiv die zentrale Pflanze, Greta, ergeben. Nass hätte ich den Bud auf mindestens 12 g geschätzt. Ein Gesamtgewicht des nassen Pflanzenmaterials habe ich nicht ermittelt. Sobald alles trocken und fertig beschnitten ist, werde ich das Tagebuch um den trockenen Betrag ergänzen. Stand jetzt würde ich schätzen, dass der Ertrag aller Pflanzen bei circa 40-50 g liegt, was mich für meinen ersten Grow ziemlich zufrieden stellt, besonders in Anbetracht dieser wirklich sehr simplen Strain. Mehr Infos und Fotos folgen in Kürze, wenn das Curing beginnt. Bis bald! :)

Aug 3: woohoo week two of flowering. Plant is definitely flowering and looks to be on its way to a strong finish. Very excited for this one and it looks very promising. Group pic is Cheese in front, Gelato, Gorilla Cookies, and Bruce Banner. Last two are 16 cola manifolds, and the front two are 8 colas. Aug 5: video shows use of 730 nm far red light as a bloom booster. A few seconds at dusk is all it takes. I use Civil Twilight as listed on timeanddate.com for my latitude each night. Currently getting 2 minutes earlier each night. The far red light at dusk, at the same point in the light cycle each night, causes the plant to go into dark mode about two hours faster. It’s like getting an extra two hours of darkness in a 26 h day. Works indoors and on autos too. Moves up flowering by about 3-4 weeks here. Don’t miss a night and keep it at the same relative time each night. This is sometimes called phyto-forcing. Easier than moving the plants into the garage each night. Aug 6: foliar spray of potassium silicate and Extreme Blend done in early evening. Plants drink a lot when it is hot and they’re this big and have been watering twice a day lately. Aug 7: did another round of compost tea this morning. Aug 9: defoliated the understory to improve airflow and remove shaded bits. Mostly fan leaves and popcorn bud sites with a few small branches that were growing in towards the centre.

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!

12/5 They're starting to get taller and develope more leaves. The gorilla zkittlez has some weird markings on its leaves. I don't think it's something I need to worry about because the plant seems healthy but it's worth noting.

New week and this means official flowering for the girl, stretching, preflowers, pistils and a big smile after some 9 weeks of vegetation and mainline formation. I believe this is a very promising strain very sturdy, never seen any slowing of growth after any cutting or stress low or high and hoping for some big fat frosty colas with the new addition of more missing nutes such as Silica, voodoo juice and sensizym as I believe roots are very important too and I saw immediate results when I added those missing elements to my other autoflowering plants which apparently stopped drooping just before lights off and just from day 2 and never saw them droop since...check other diary...

Happy day to all of you, Weed friends. And welcome to a new week in the Gardens of Queen Peaky. We have begun to insert a little bit of "Calmag" to support the fertilision program because there are some signs to keep in observation that the year begun to launch alarms, the strange thing is that only the two behind are suffering this unpleasant inconvenience Bother The beautiful thing is that the bulbs are already beginning to have purple nuances : )

Roots looking good, plant looking good but look close and you can see a nute deficiency coming. most likely because my lazy ass did not change the water yet so i got some pH problems. but i wasn't paying attention to this yet haha

On cruise control until harvest! She's very sticky, and smelly! 2.5 gallons dosage of the above listed nutes, every 4 days! Flush next watering, and then just water 'till harvest.

I deliberately sent my 2 ladies into flower 2 months earlier. roughly the 12/12h rule. Sometimes it was 10 hours in the sun, but sometimes 12 hours. In my region it will soon be rainy and cold. I'm toying with the idea of harvesting them before I catch mold or something else. The trichomes are all milky. About 15-20% amber colored.

Week 4 Report: Big Cheese Auto Flourishing in Autopilot Mode! Hey there, fellow cultivators! It's that time again – Week 4, and our Big Cheese Auto is stepping into a new phase of autonomy. This week, I introduced the Autopot system, letting our green friend decide when and how much to drink. It's like giving her the keys to the watering kingdom, and she's embracing the freedom beautifully. First and foremost, a hearty shoutout to Seeds Mafia for gifting us with genetics that keep on giving. The resilience and vigor displayed by our Big Cheese Auto are a testament to the quality seeds we started with. Now, let's dissect the nutrient symphony that's been playing in the background: Regulator (0.15ml/L): Our humidity maestro continues to dance with the elements, ensuring a stress-free environment for our plant. The monoclinic acid is working its magic, and our Big Cheese Auto is sipping contentedly in her newfound freedom. Calmag (0.25ml/L): Calmag, our nutrient bodyguard, remains on duty. This week, it's all about maintaining that structural integrity as our plant starts gearing up for more vigorous growth. Strong stems, sturdy leaves – the foundations of greatness. All-in-One Liquid (1ml/L): The NPK trio in the All-in-One Liquidstoped as the pellets on the soil s are now available and are the backbone of our nutrient regimen. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium – it's a growth party, and our Big Cheese Auto is the VIP. This all-in-one soil simplifies our feeding routine, letting us focus on the art of cultivation. Start Boost (0.25ml/L): Start Boost, the architect behind our root cathedral, is still in play. Those micronutrients are like construction workers building a solid foundation for our plant's future. The roots are thriving, and our Big Cheese Auto is standing tall. Aptus Mycor Mix: The underground alliance of mycorrhizal fungi and roots is establishing a symbiotic relationship that's pure magic. It's like having a secret society beneath the soil, enhancing nutrient uptake and fortifying our plant's foundation. NutriSpray by Aptus Holland: Introducing a new player to the nutrient team – NutriSpray. Packed with organic surfactants and a microelement cocktail (Mn, S, Zn, Fe), this foliar spray is like a spa treatment for our leaves. The horse chestnut extract binds with microelements, creating a protective shield that stays on leaves for up to two weeks. It's like a force field against nutrient deficiencies. How NutriSpray Works: The horse chestnut extract binds to microelements, creating a protective shield. This shield ensures the nutrients stay on leaves, allowing for a slow release over two weeks. Additionally, it thins vascular fluid, facilitating faster nutrient transport within the plant. How to Use NutriSpray: Dilute with water (2ml per 1L), and spray the entire leaf surface. For our indoor oasis, I sprayed during weeks 1, 3, and 5 of bloom for general nutrition. Our training efforts continue to pay off. Low Stress Training (LST) by bending leaves is shaping our plant into a work of art. The canopy is becoming more even, optimizing light exposure for future buds. The transplant into the spacious 15 L pot is proving to be a smart move. The roots are spreading their wings, exploring the nutrient-rich soil, and our Big Cheese Auto is reaping the benefits with each passing day. As we move into the next week, the excitement is palpable. The Autopot system is in full swing, and I can't wait to see how our Big Cheese Auto takes the reins of her own hydration destiny. Once again, a huge thanks to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and our amazing community. This journey is a collective effort, and your support is the fuel that keeps us growing. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Genetics -Seeds Mafia Big Cheese Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

FastBuds Mystery seed #1. Well, the leaves are all fading and falling off. I did a quick defoliation of those fully dead leaves. I thought she was really done. However, the trichomes still look glassy. She is still drinking. I am continuing to feed as well. I wonder how she will finish flowering with such a small amount of leaves to photosynthesise. Below is what I did this week. 10.6.25: The plant was watered with 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2. I added per 6.5 litres ♡ 7ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1/4 TSP Sea K(elp) PPM: 605 PH: 6.2 I decided to feed each plant separately and mix it up in the 2l jug. 12.6.25: I watered with 4L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 and containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres; ♡ 7ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1/2 Tsp Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.4 PPM: 890 14.6.25: I watered with 3L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 and containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres; ♡ 7ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1Tsp Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients PH: 6.4 PPM: 890 15.6.25 I gave 3.5l of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with the following nutrients; ♡ 12ml Ecothrive Flourish PPM: 463 PH: 6.2 17.6.25: I watered with 3L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 and containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.3. PPM: 436 Hopefully somehow the plant can manage to reach the finish line! Fingers crossed. Thanks for checking out my diary and following along 😊🍃✌️💚🤞

Gorilla Runtz. Seedsman. Day 80, Day 32 since 12/12 I added in AC infinity supplemental lights to the under canopy for experimental purposes. I use these for my seedlings however, I decided to use them to see if I notice any difference. I used them on my 1st indoor run (Wurlz F1) and thought they made little difference but I'm thinking just to give it all I got on this lady. I am also using marshydro IR and UV supplement lights. We will see if all these give me a bountiful harvest with the most frosty and dense buds I have ever grown. Fresh reservoir change out today. She drank all 16 liters I added in 7 days ago. I will be adding another 16liters. The mushrooms at the end of the video is Copelandia Hawaiian, which is said to be 5 times more potent than regular magic mushrooms. Big up to Zamnesia. Day 82 I have tidied things up a bit in grow tent. I have decided to leave tent open beacuse the temperatures was getting up to 30°C when closed. It's now 26°C. I have also raised lights a bit. Started timelaspe today. One picture every hour.

With the new netting up, I switched on the red lights along with the blues to help the plants stretch a bit to reach through the screen. It looks like it is taking effect, so late in the week (Friday) I trimmed some of the lower branches. Last week I FIMmed Zoe and Grace to give River a chance to catch up, and I expected 1 of 2 results: 1) FiMming will encourage growth in the cut plants causing them to grow taler than River, or 2) Things will stabilize and River will be on par with her siblings. But instead, I discovered a 3rd result: River is continuing to grow bigger and thicker each day and is even taller and fuller than her sisters. In addition though, the trimmed plants are developing nice, strong, sizable leaves, and most of the new growth is coming from down below, rather than near the top. Oh, and this week I added a new camera (Wyze) to the time lapses so I can take my pro camera out.

I will be vegging for a while still, autos will probably finish before I flip the clones that are still not rooted at 10 days. Coco has been a real issue for me this season, two bags both full of salt and killed off all seedlings and 4 stable saplings. Very bad things to say about Cana Coco and I will be abruptly changing my set up from Dutch buckets to boring old soilless mix, top fed from my exterior reservoir. Will be poking MANY holes (speedholes) in my containers and mixing a tonne of perlite into my mix so I can hopefully fertigate every 3 days Fingerblast the like button

Another week has flown by! The girls are doing great, cruise control this week as I have just been monitoring RH and temps. Trying to keep them as low as possible, I’ve been getting as low as 74 during the day and 68 at night. I finally took a look a look at the trichomes with my jewellers loop, lots of cloudy, and a few amber around the leaves and top colas, but still lot’s of clear trichomes. I’ve ordered myself a wireless/usb digital microscope to assist with the process, and looks like it will be here just in time to determine harvest day. 😎🎄 I started by eliminating the nutrients at the beginning of the week. I typically allow for 3-4 pure water feeds before I harvest, and at the rate they have been drinking, this should be enough to get through the 7-12 days they have before harvest. I don’t flush, but rather “rinse” with normal water amounts, allowing the plant to use up the remaining nutrients in the soil. This also allows me to recover most of the soil from my grows and reuse ♻️ with other soil mix. There has been great debate and a great deal of bro science out there for many years, but the recent studies suggest there is no difference in end result when it comes to flushing or using nutrients right until the end, if a proper dry and cure is performed. What do you think? What do you prefer to do? Thanks for reading this far, leave me a comment with your preferred method 👊🇨🇦❤️
