Harvest day! I left it without light for 48 hours. The buds are full of resin and very fragrant. Now I just have to wait to taste them, the hardest part. 😊🍀💪🌴

EVERHTHING WENT AS USUAL THE FIRST FEW WEEKS BEFORE THIS

This weeks focus is balancing ph of my homemade Texas Tea nutrient and creating the perfect “Tropical” environment for my babies to thrive in. Incorporated Advanced nutrients up/down to assist with ph also helped lower the PPM. They are loving the vegetation box I built!

Somehow I counted weeks in a silly way, so I thought this was week 8 but it's still week 7. LoL. Plant is doing great anyway, She's big, exceeding 70 cm diameter, With so many colas at canopy level I expect her to yeld very big fo an Autoflowering strain, The training succesfully shaped her resulting in 10 branch reaching the top canopoy level. To me the key to a good training is timing, much more than continuous adjustment. This plant was bent just one time on main stem and one another time little later the branches. We had rainy days so I used a dehumidifier for a day or two, now it's dry again outside so no need for it anymore. She's still thirsty like a bitch as she drinks 5 liters of water every two day. Maybe I'll make a drip sistem for my next grow, watering has been boring lately. I'm not giving her anything to the end now, she's doing fine like this. The humus coupled with slow release fertilizer is doing a great job. She has some nitrogen excess to me, but she's the only plant to show it in a batch of 6. The issue seems very small to me anyway. Day 48 checked trichomes, some is turning milky already, can't wait for the buds to ripen :) Ciao Bottanico

Last week of flo >> harvest the 29th october This strain is highly resistant of mistakes.

7/26: Last defoliation for about 4 weeks. Looking good and thick. LST is basically over and I'm going to let this plant do what it wants from here on out. I pulled some stems away a tad more so they grow out of any shadows. Bam! 7/27: Added my Google Home Mini so the girls can listen to classical all day long. 7/28: Pistils are tiny on plant 1, but the other 2 are growing rapidly. 7/29: Ordered a 600w ViparSpectra to add to the grow tent, can't wait. Also ordered some sticky traps. The gnats are not really affecting the plant, (never enough to cause major problems) but I just hate them. They seem to be coming from my shop-Vac (for run-off). I let it dry out, as it never stays full of water. I assume they are attracted to it regardless because of the moisture. I have now moved the shop vac further away from the grow tent and will have sticky traps installed 7/30. 7/30: Day 33. Going well. They love Mozart. Pistils FINALLY on every plant. 7/31: Got the new 600w ViparSpectra in, it's bright... this was a good idea. 600w @ 24inches, 450w @ 20inches 8/1: Pistils on all plants. Pre-flower stretch is real. The new light changed everything. Plant 1 taking half a gallon now.

Ppfd: 500-600, Ec: 1,3-14, Ph:5,8, Drain: 10% Max. Tent is Full After a week of flower, One Main per Square of the Trellis netting. Planning to defoaliate and probably take off everything under the trellis between day 14-21 of flower. Limit the Stretch through generative steering, dropping Night Temperature to 20-23 Celsius and 25-27 Düring the day. Lowering humidity according to VPD. Reaching 40% dryback in the Medium daily, signaling drought and therefore increasing ec in the medium for More osmotic pressure which results in the plant Building flower sites rather than roots and leaves.

Day 63 - 28 of Flower Changes this week include adding a 4th Maxibright 315w lamp and Agro bulb. I wanted to run 4 but originally could only afford to buy 3. These retail at £250 each per kit so theres now £1000 just in lighting. A huge improvement to overall light spread around the plants and more light penetrating the canopy to the lower bud sights. I've also spent the weekend insulating my space for 2 reasons. Obviously temperature fluctuations being one. I found the temps were anywhere between 17 and 31 degrees throughout a 24 hour cycle and wanted to get a more consistent day and night temperature. With the extra light it needs to be cooler too. 2nd reason was humidity. With the great British weather being as damp as it is the night time humidity has been over 75% some days which now we are deep into flower could quickly lead to bud rot. Insulating the space and running my exterior AC unit has now got that figure to below 56% at all times. I'm very happy with that. Feeding ratio remains unchanged this week. I'm going to continue running the PK13/14 for at least another 7 days or untill the buds finish fattening out. Still feeding 6 litres every other day. No further training at this point just pulling a few colas out of the way of the fan and one main cola from directly under a lamp as it was burning. Also stretch has now finished which is a massive relief as I've no headspace left in the tent at all. I didn't have time to take many photos of the buds in the dark but the ones I have put on show just how frosty these stardawgs get! Really living up to their name considering they are only half way through predicted flower time. The only further upgrade I would like at this point is a proper co2 with digital regulator. I have however read that they dont benefit much from extra co2 from this point onwards?? What is everyone's thoughts on that? Obviously I have my natural co2 generator and will leave it in untill the end of the grow. I realise I really underestimated the size of these plants and 6 sativa dominant species is a stupid idea. The tent is just too packed so on the next run I'll opt for less and go with a scrog. Thanks for checking in! I cant wait to see how the next week plays out.

So This week was the same as the last really, It seems all I have to do is sit back and watch these ladies do their thing! Ive not gone full on with the bloom supplements or PK yet as only 2/5 of the GG are seriously flowering. The other 3/5 GG are now Finally showing some signs of flower and some tops are starting to build and lowers producing more pistils each day! The Stardawgs continue to explode, even some friends who were sceptical about the performance of the Quantum board LED's have been flow away by the results. All of the buds seem to be building dramatically top to bottom which no shortage of frost! Macro shots on the way!!

Had to do a root wash, had root rot due to the roots not following the stream and growing in a circle, the angle was not high enough and the water inlet probably to close to the Netcup. Also ORP was really low the last couple weeks, probably didn't help either. My grows are always experiments and I am trying to improve my setups again and again to maximize more and more but out of 10 new things only 1 or 2 work. If you ain't trying tho you never win :) More details coming soon as in the other Diaries. Values are average of the day.

Week 4 flower 4x4 #1 | Scat Queen, Oreoz, (2) Cookies and cream | Hitting a final defoliation to transfer photosynthesis into bud sights as we transition from heavy pistil to calyx + Week 1 flower 4x4 #2 | Scat Queen & GYAT | Daily check ins with defoliation & canopy shaping during this stretch phase Each pheno has been growing different of both Scat Queen and GYAT, I Have a finicky plant of GYAT in the back left #2 4x4.. I'm not gonna stress or sleep on this plant either.. It's reminding me of a slurricane pheno I grew and turned out to be potent with a good unique terpene expression. JUST GOTTA BE PATIENT AND STEADY, KEEP ROCKIN GROWMIES 😎

😋 Smells good... ⏰ Arrived, harvest time! ✌️🎃 Thank you for checking my cultivation.

It's that exciting time again—time to dive into the enchanting journey of my beloved Purple Lemonade FF as she strides confidently into Week 5 of flowering. Defoliation Drama Unveiled! As the grand finale approaches, I made a daring decision to perform a defoliation dance with my purple beauty. Now, don't worry, it's not as dramatic as it sounds! Think of it like a plant makeover. I carefully removed a select few fan leaves to allow the inner sanctum of the plant to breathe. This move allows more light to reach those budding sites, ensuring that every nugget gets its chance to shine. The result? A lush canopy where each bud twinkles like a star in the night sky. Fruits of Our Labor: Bigger is Better! Oh, but the fruits of our labor! They're a sight to behold. The buds have grown into massive, magnificent marvels that stretch toward the heavens. Imagine holding a juicy lemon the size of your palm—that's the kind of awe we're talking about! Their aroma wafts through the air, teasing the senses and promising an explosion of flavors and fragrances when the time is ripe. The Symphony of Purple and Trichomes And now, let's talk about the color show happening here. It's like the Northern Lights decided to pay a visit to my grow space! Delicate shades of purple are dancing across the buds, creating a breathtaking tapestry of colors that's straight out of an artist's dream. But wait, there's more! It's practically snowing trichomes in there. These tiny, glistening structures cover the buds like a shimmering blanket, and trust me, it's a sight that warms any grower's heart. Mother Nature's Artistry in Action Nature truly is the best artist, and our Purple Lemonade FF is her masterpiece. Each leaf, each bud, each trichome is a stroke of perfection. This journey reminds me that we're not just gardeners; we're cultivators of beauty, patience, and endless wonder. A Glimpse of the Journey And as promised, here's a sneak peek of this week's snapshot from the grow room. Feast your eyes on the splendor of my purple queen standing tall amidst her sisters of diverse genetics. It's a visual symphony that fills the heart with joy and gratitude. Cherish the Journey As we approach the next chapter of this remarkable journey, I'm reminded once again that it's not just about the end result; it's about the experience, the love, and the lessons we gather along the way. So, my fellow green-thumbed adventurers, let's cherish every moment, celebrate every bud, and keep growing with passion and joy. Thanks for joining me on this magical ride. Until the next chapter unfolds, keep those hearts and plants thriving! Genetics - Fast Buds Purple Lemonade FF Ligth - Lumatek ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

And on the exhale, the citrus flavors open up, giving place to a more sugary berry fruitiness that leaves your whole mouth tasting like an extremely sweet weed-infused lemonade.

She start flowering day 22 quick one I think Update day 24 I try again some lst training and I let her grow I'm so happy on her size for day 24 she definitely big girl Day 27 I can see purple bud 💜 so happy hope she produce dark purple flowers 💜 but this strain never get tall usually around 60 to 80 cm

Some nice explosive growth this week, looks like it’s steady stretching towards the light every day, hoping the buds start to fill out mid next week. Started giving Crystal Burst in conjunction with fish shit. After 7 days the plant seems to be reacting fine to the crystal burst. Some yellowing on one leaf at the bottom, not to sure what that’s about, will look into it more. Overall things are coming along nicely.

this week, the girl grew as expected, which makes me very happy :) she has already started to bloom, but I still have to use LST, because her two main crowns will escape:) everything is fine, she looks healthy and strong :)

Day 70: Brain Cake seemed thirsty and wanting more nutrients: Topped off water yesterday, added +3ml of hyro A&B and +1ml of power roots & pure enzyme. EC went from 0.8 -> 1.0 Day 71: Brain Cake is showing symptoms, many top leaves have deformed tips and light interveinal chlorosis starting on opposite end of the tip and dark interveinal chlorosis at the end of the tip. EC is 0.8-0.9 (not very accurate meter :/ ) Not sure whether this is a nutrient deficiency or excess/lockout. The ph has been between 5.6 and 6.5 most of the time the past week, the reservoir change was 4-5 days ago. Plagron indicates to give more hydo A&B in proportion to their roots and enzyme nutrients in the first weeks of flowering (during veg these are given in proportion), so maybe these new problems are due to the different balance of nutrients that I may have times wrongly. Finally the problems may be due to the water reservoirs holding approx 12 liters in practice and the Brain Cake drinks approx 2-3.5L a day so maybe the water res is very unstable but after a day the PH usually remains in range and the EC usually drops a bit the first day after adding nutrients and stays pretty stable the rest of the week. Any suggestions are more than welcome! Day 72: Yesterday evening made an upgraded reservoir for the Brain Cake dwc (as we suspect the leaf problems may be due to instable water because of small res and roots nearly completely filling the res). Now the Brain Cake is in a 60L box with approx 32L of water, EC set to 1.0 and ph 5.7-6.5. She seems to be happy, nice and perky this morning. FYI the roots seem more orange in the video! They are on the white side though, just a bit of stain from the nutrients but looking very good overall.

Day 80 tips have a bit of burn. going straight water next feeding.

07.10.23 - Plant showed up from earth. First feeding with Terra Vega and Rhizotonic 13.10.23 - Same feed for rooting 16.10.23 - And another one 22.10.23 - Defoliation, bending a little and feed for veg.phase 1.
