They grew a lot this week or so it seems to me, because i was on vacation and havent seen them the last 5 days. SQ#1 and Blue cheese are now my biggest plants Even though i germinated 1 week later and also from the other strain there was one plant that was always bigger than the Rest and now its the second smallest. So far everything was nice, no issues with nutrients, desease or bugs, every plant develops hairs and is female. I think i give them 1 more week to grow and then i‘m changing the light cycle and start the flowering Phase, really excited for that :)

smell is strong now. sour 76 has a range of citrus, number 1 is lemon dominated with fuel scent underneath. number 2 has a smell super similar to tangie! seeing sour 76 parent is cali sour d (cali orange x sour d x mexican sativa) cross to 76 afghan it makes sense to me it has reminiscent smell to tangie (cali orange x skunk 1 [mexican sativa x afghan indica x colombian sativa]) very similar parent lineages there! havin smoke test both, sour 76 is much more heavy handed high! plants finish at 66 days this run. at this point I gave last main feeds before tapering nutes back lower for week 8 and then flush week 9

The genetics in this little lady are very good she stayed short.. All the stretching and bending are paying off right now she has a very nice even canopy .. Well we are gonna start to see some buds getting size now . Can't wait till next I also can't wait for the few bid sites I dusted with some male pollen ..

I guess the main takeaway from this week is to always have runoff when feeding with nutes and 12 inches should probably be the closest the light gets to the canopy on max power 75% strength bloom boost is probably too concentrated a dose. I fed her about 5 days ago then plain water then a molasses water. Probably getting a bit more molasses tonight then plain water til harvest which could be as soon as Monday the 22nd but will probably be a bit later. Happy growing friends 😶‍🌫️

Start of week 6 the end of week 5 she was just having her pistols come out. She is doing great growing fast I might have to buy bigger tent but will see what happens. Daytime temps are74/76 and nighttime temps 68/70 RH is now at 54%. New I have not even flushed or used sledgehammer because she looking so hungry at times. I did major defoliation on her had some many big fan leafs block lower bud sites to be also did a ton of tie down to try to get the last few stretches out the lower area.

The Olympia Auto has just entered flowering. The plant has remained quite small, likely due to the intense cold stress (temperatures below 10ºC) it experienced—similar to other autos I'm cultivating this season. Despite its size, I'm impressed by how much it’s stretching in this phase; it just keeps growing. The aroma is still weak but gradually increasing each day. Health: The plant looks healthy and beautiful. It’s a shame that only one plant emerged from the seed pack, but even though I haven’t harvested yet, I’m eager to grow this strain again! Ambient Conditions: This week started off hot (with a minimum of 23ºC and a maximum of 30ºC), but a cold front has now brought temperatures back down (with a minimum of 11ºC and a maximum of 20ºC). Humidity remains quite low, around 30-35%. Training: I haven’t done any training or defoliation on this plant. Fertilization: I applied Ekosil (silica + potassium), another dose of bokashi, and a dose of nitrogen, with one more nitrogen application planned for the end of this week. Pest Control: I'm continuing with Beauveria treatments, and I no longer have issues with the fungus gnats that had appeared earlier. Watering: I’ve been watering the plant very minimally, as the substrate has been staying moist on its own. Looking Forward: From this point on, there’s not much left to do except watch the flowering progress.

Following the same nutrient plan as the previous week. Nothing out of the expected worth mentioning. Exodus is growing wide and high using the whole surface. 13 March Update: I have been watering everyday the plants were requiring it. Every 2nd day I gave them 1 Liter Water +( Terra Bloom 3ml/L , Sugar Royal 1ml/L), between the feeding days I provided 0,5L of clean water. Nice flowers are popping up everywhere so it’s time to add Green Sensation to the feeding plan. I plan on using 1ml/L every other day.

01/01/2022 Potting up and amending with 5-2-4 to give a little kick before mid flower #6 is first girl to show herself, also got two different males and only difference is that one is lighter green and other darker green (also dark green one seems to drink more than lighter green) 💚. Other than that structure is very similar I wonder which is a better breeding male? I guess I might pollinate and LABEL TWO BRANCHES ON each female one for each male. and find out.🙏🏻 01/06/2022 #3 showed today, reppoted and into flowering closet, along with#6,who showed earlier this week lights at 14-10 see how they respond to that schedule, which should help use up the 5-2-4 going into week 3 should help with her stretch. Which isn't really that much I believe maybe double her current height, which I will check at lights on.Week ,#3 if I think of it I'll give a good fungal dominant tea.

Week 2 Unveiled: Cherry Cola Auto Flourishes in Style Hi Guys , as our botanical journey with the Cherry Cola Auto from Fast Buds Seeds unfolds, the second week has proven to be nothing short of a horticultural spectacle. Buckle up as we dive into the lush details of a week that witnessed a significant move – the grand transplant. Our star, the Cherry Cola Auto, is not just growing; it's thriving. With a green thumb and a heart full of enthusiasm, we decided it was time to elevate its living space. Enter the 16L fabric pot – a home fit for botanical royalty. Why fabric pots, you ask? Well, these porous wonders enhance aeration, drainage, and root development. It's like giving our plant its very own spa day, promoting a healthy and vigorous root system. But the transplant wasn't just about upgrading real estate. We sprinkled a bit of magic in the form of Aptus Holland Mycor Mix on the roots and their surroundings. This mix is a microbial powerhouse, fostering a symbiotic relationship between the roots and beneficial fungi. Think of it as a green handshake that boosts nutrient absorption and overall plant health. To ensure our Cherry Cola Auto feels at home, we prepped the soil with 75g of Aptus All-in-One Pellets (NPK) and some Aptus Mycor Mix Soil. The pellets provide a balanced nutritional feast, while the Mycor Mix adds another layer of microbial goodness. It's like creating a gourmet meal for our green companion, satisfying its every nutrient need. Post-transplant, our plant received a special elixir – the Veg Aptus Recipe. This concoction includes 0.15ml/L Regulator, a nutrient transporter with Mono-silicic acid, Boron, and Molybdenum, ensuring a smooth nutrient journey. The caMg-boost at 0.5ml/L and Start Booster at 0.25ml/L add the essential building blocks for robust growth. Topping it off is the Enzym+, a 10ml/L dosage, ensuring a nutrient buffet for our Cherry Cola Auto. Our green companion now resides under the Lumatek 465W Zeus Compact Pro LED in a new tent. The move was orchestrated with precision, thanks to the assistance of Miss 420 during the transplant. The Lumatek LED provides a spectrum of light mimicking the sun, promoting photosynthesis and bud development. It's like giving our plant front-row seats to a botanical light show. As we wrap up this detailed report, a heartfelt thank you to Fast Buds Seeds, your creation is a botanical symphony. Aptus Holland,Blessed with your sponsour is the best that ever apened to me and my gardens, your products are the secret ingredients to our success. Grow Diaries community, your camaraderie fuels our passion. Here's to another week of flourishing growth, vibrant leaves, and the promise of a bountiful harvest. Until next time, keep cultivating the green magic!

22 days since they sprouted. Got a full feeding today. They are looking great. Good color to the leaves. One is a bit taller than the other one is 8" and the other 7" (the one that came up 18 hours after the first) Will start to LST this week and maybe a slight defoliation, just to open them up to a bit more light. Longest branches are 4", maybe a bit more. Mar. 1st, 2019 - Just coming to the end of week 4. The plants are 26 days old. looking great. They got a watering with Azos and Mykos. Started to LST and just slight defoliation. They are about 10 to 11 inches tall now and growing pretty fast. They are also early flower, they go a last foliar spray today as well. Damn nice plants.

Impressive how this plant managed to grow despite the few hours of light .. I guess what it could do with a better season than this year (there has been a lot of rains) and in a place where it grows with constant light.. anyway I am very happy with her, I would also say proud of how the growth went. In the last few weeks, as you can see, the plant has suffered an attack by caterpillars that have eaten some of its leaves in a short time, the plant has remained very strong anyway. I tried to remove them manually until they disappeared completely Before proceeding with the cut, I put the plant in the dark for 48 hours, further stressing it by shocking the roots with ice cubes. I've never used these two methods, but I've heard a lot about them. some say it is useless while others say that these methods work to increase the production of trichomes and terpenes. We'll see, I'll share my experience with you as always. Also follow me on Instagram for daily updates! Keep growing fam! Much love 💚

I posted the video with music and then the whole video that shows the Z-up at the end. Frostbanger, purple haze, and test strain fba2504 are flowering beautifully. The Z-up is just now in the early flowering stage and she is doing fantastic!

Unfortunately this will be the last week because the threat of the red spider has returned and I cannot afford to use other chemical remedies to eliminate it so I anticipate the harvest by a week even if looking at the trichomes I am not so far from full maturity, Too bad . !

Fruity Pebbles autoflower growing in Athena is doing okay. She is still showing signs of too much nitrogen at this moment. I will likely do a solution change soon and resove this if it continues. I added water to dilute out the solution some. She is still advancing in flowering. I will fix this soon when I have more time. Everything else is looking good. Thank you ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
