Farbe, Frost und Charakter. Mit jeder neuen Woche entwickelt diese Lemon Cherry Cookies ihren ganz eigenen Charakter. Während der Fokus in den vergangenen Wochen auf Wachstum und Struktur lag, dreht sich inzwischen alles um Qualität. Die Blüten werden dichter, schwerer und beginnen genau die Eigenschaften zu zeigen, auf die ich die ganze Zeit hingearbeitet habe. Besonders beeindruckend ist die Farbentwicklung. Zwischen den dicken Trichomschichten erscheinen immer mehr violette Akzente, die den Buds einen ganz besonderen Look verleihen. Zusammen mit den bereits nachdunkelnden Blütenstempeln entsteht ein wunderschönes Farbspiel, das sich wahrscheinlich in den kommenden Tagen noch weiter intensivieren wird. Auch die Harzproduktion hat noch einmal einen ordentlichen Sprung gemacht. Die Sugar Leaves glitzern inzwischen nahezu vollständig im Harz und die Buds fühlen sich optisch schon richtig klebrig an. Genau diese Entwicklung macht die letzten Wochen einer Autoflower immer so spannend. Das Training zahlt sich weiterhin aus. Trotz der kompakten Bauweise bekommen die einzelnen Blütenstände ausreichend Licht und Luft, wodurch sich nahezu jede Cola gleichmäßig entwickeln kann. Statt langer, luftiger Triebe entstehen dichte und harzige Blüten über die gesamte Pflanze verteilt. Die größeren Fächerblätter beginnen langsam heller zu werden – ein typisches Zeichen dafür, dass die Lemon Cherry Cookies ihre gespeicherten Nährstoffe jetzt vollständig in die Blütenbildung investiert. Insgesamt wirkt sie dabei weiterhin gesund, stabil und voller Energie. Langsam nähert sich die Reise ihrem Höhepunkt. Die Colas legen weiter an Gewicht zu, die Harzschicht wird Woche für Woche dicker und die violetten Farbtöne verleihen der Pflanze inzwischen einen unverwechselbaren Charakter. Jetzt beginnt genau die Phase, auf die man als Grower monatelang hinarbeitet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Color, frost and personality. Every week this Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto reveals a little more of her unique personality. While the previous weeks were all about structure and flower development, the focus has now shifted completely toward quality. The buds are becoming denser, heavier and are finally showing the characteristics I've been waiting for. The color development is especially impressive. Deep purple shades are becoming more visible throughout the upper flowers, creating a beautiful contrast against the bright green foliage. Combined with the darkening pistils, the buds are starting to develop a truly eye-catching appearance that will likely become even more intense over the coming days. Resin production has taken another noticeable step forward. The sugar leaves are now heavily coated in sparkling trichomes, giving the flowers that sticky, frosty appearance every grower loves to see. Each day the plant looks a little more covered in crystal. The training continues to pay off beautifully. Despite the naturally compact structure, light and airflow reach nearly every flowering site, allowing the side colas to mature evenly and produce dense, resin-rich flowers across the entire canopy. The larger fan leaves are slowly beginning to fade as the plant redirects its remaining stored nutrients toward flower production. It's a classic sign that she is entering the final stage while still maintaining excellent overall health and vigor. The finish line is getting closer now. Every passing day adds more density, more resin and even richer purple coloration. Watching this Lemon Cherry Cookies reach her full potential has become one of the highlights of this outdoor season, and I'm excited to see what these final weeks will bring.

Can anyone help my lower leaves are turning yellow and drying up

7 weeks! from what sweet seeds says now I should just wait another week or two and then I could cut it easily, but I don't know. If anyone can advise me on automatic plants I would be grateful! in summary the question is: with automatics only 5/6 weeks of flowering are needed? 🌱

The temperatures, humidity, and watering listed in the grow conditions are averaged for the week. The pH listed in the grow conditions is the soil pH. Nutrients listed in that section are ml/gallon of soil. I didn't include water in grow conditions as it rained almost all week. I watered one time and listed in the daily updates. Day 1 we had sunshine and a lite breeze. Day 2 and 3 we had sunshine and a lite breeze. Day 2 #3 plant succumbed to her injuries, R.I.P 😥 Day 4 we had rain showers I'm the morning and throughout the day. The plants roots appear to have found the ferrous sulfate I added last week 💚 Day 5 we had rain in the early morning, drizzle and afternoon showers. I added an additional 50ml of ferrous sulfate top dressed. I also spread just enough peat moss to cover the ferrous sulfate to prevent the rain from splashing it onto plants. Previously the rain splashed granules of ferrous sulfate onto the leaves, burning them. I used 50ml or 2ml/gallon of soil. as I've only got about 25 gallons of soil. I'm waiting to top off after this excessive rain is done. Day 6 we had intermittent rain, drizzle, and mist throughout the day. There's a bug haunting plant #1. I can't find it, so most likely a cricket or grasshopper. It's beed feeding on this plant since day 5. Stakeout for the kill has begun. Good news on day 6. The ferrous sulfate has brought the soil pH down to 6.3. There's still a small phosphorus excess but these girls will grow into it. Day 7 we had rain all morning into the afternoon. Pots are soaked. The insect, I suspect to be a cricket, remains a pest. It ate more of #1 plant on evening of day 5. Despite the adversity these girls are growing. Plants doubled in height this week and overall the week has been a success.

Will begin the hang dry this week for this cheese!

So I’m not worried about the main two seeds that look good hopefully they’re both females I’ll probably take a clone from the vigorously growing one as long as it’s fem. The fourth seed had MAJOR defects so I just threw it out. The third seed though has some sort of true leave defect, more than just the two main true leaves sprouted. The main stem also seemed to have sprouted out of itself as well, can be seen in the photos above; if anyone knows anything about this defect let me know if its even worth keeping around. Seeds are numbered in photo notes.

She's starting her streach. I've started to add a mill of bloom with the grow and she's branching out nicely

Frosty Frosty and Frosty plus she is very dense probably going to be about a half overall

I'm happy with my first flowers! could die, I'm a beginner, even though the plant is not beautiful! I will learn! Good smoke everyone! Respect 😆😆😆😆

All done with the growing, now time for the long arduous harvest 😸🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️✨. Started the harvest on day 63 of flower, I’ve not just checked their trichomes with a loop or anything, but I’m happy with how they look. The smell is very intense. Slightly worrying in all honesty 👀 filter is really struggling, contemplating getting out my spare extractor fan&filter just while it all drys. Maybe two filters will scrub the smell completely. It’s a lovely smell, Sour Tangy Sherb, but now an extremely heavy gassy wall of smell has permeated everything. Pretty much all the buds have turned purple, just a few of the lowers are a pale green, but that’s to be expected. I’m in the process of cutting them all up into individual branches, giving them a quick wet trim, then hanging them on hangers. I’m aiming for around 10 days drying, then a final trim and into jars for curing. This was the final run of the MotorOG, it’s been a fun strain to run 😸 another decent one from LIT Farms. I’d like to thank everyone who’s taken the time to have a look, comment or like this diary, I hope it’s been helpful in some way. PersonalSmok3s 😸🌱💚

picture: start of week 8, preflowers show up video: end of week 8, flowers start to bloom

So this was the week changed the light cycle to 12/12. I also went to town again and defoliated, lollipopped and ScrOGed them

The gorilla glues are looking better but the wedding cheesecake not so much. The cakes are going down tonight because i see a couple of brown spots.I guess this is budrot.The smell is amazing and its sticky a.f.So i see what i am left with. Cheers

Week 12 for Space Panda by Atlasseed, This one is a hard one for me because i love love her leaf structure/colour, yet her actual growing structure im not a fan of especially for mainlining as she gets barely any side growth. Hopefully after the stress of this last topping she will get her shit together😇😂 Because of the messed up light schedule + massive shifts of temps from 28+ to 6... outside the tent so really for 7 hours their growth is completely stunted, but I'm making due with what I have 😂

Kk

Buds getting thicker now. Doesn’t look the best due to the overdose but is frosty and will see how she smokes.

Die buds werden langsam dicker und die ladies riechen schon wirklich stark. Hab hier und da noch ein wenig leaf tucking gemacht, aber Jetzt kommt der ruhigere Teil, wo man einfach nur gießen und warten muß

However, the final look was a total curveball. A severe heatwave hit the grow room right when the buds were already fully formed. Being an Indica-dominant strain with Afghan heritage, she really didn't tolerate that sudden intense heat. To cope with the temperature, she went into survival mode and triggered heavy late-stage foxtailing. Even though the weight was already there, the buds lost their typical Indica compactness and started stretching out with endless new white pistils, creating an airy, Sativa-like silhouette. It definitely cost her a few grams of extra density, but the sheer volume is impressive. ​Interestingly, I ran this plant alongside a Sativa-dominant strain in the same tent, and they completely traded places structurally. You can check out how the heat impacted her tent mate in my Pablo Escobar Auto Diary. ​Key Lesson: Dense, cool-loving Indica genetics like this one will be saved for winter cycles from now on to avoid late-season density loss. Still, with 570g wet, she is going to provide an incredible, heavy evening stash! 🍁💨 https://divineseeds.net/de/auto-purple-opium/
