Aug 22 - Aug 28 Week 16 (Day 106-Day 112) The Low Down- Plants responded well to the Advanced Nutrients I watered with a couple of days ago. By 'responded well' I just mean that they didn't yellow or adversely react. I'm still watering 2 gallons per day per plant when I water, but I skipped a day since I don't want to get root rot. Twice before I have had the plants get waterlogged at the bottom of the pot (obviously right =-) ), and I didn't know then that it caused the leaves to yellow from the bottom up. I honestly thought I had nutrient burn. That said, I skipped a day on the watering. I applied kelp meal on day 111. I broke my rule and used Monterey B.T. on day 111. Honestly--I felt scared because I can't inspect the plants everyday so I went for the Monterey b.t. to combat the caterpillars. Not sure if I will apply again since we are in flowering. The Plants- The plants look great and smell great. Thank you EQuillibrium Genetics. Everyday they get a little more aromatic. The smell is somewhere between minty/lemony/orangey and some bomb ass weed. Will definitely hit. One day I could've sworn it smelled like that Gary Payton weed, basically kushy, citrusy, and a little sour diesely. On DAY 108 in the morning they smelled like orange fanta. Amendments- I applied kelp meal on DAY 111 (Aug 22). The quality has improved in my plants since I started more actively amending the soil a few years back. Before I just used to add that Alaska fish emulsion directly on the soil once a month. Now I use Kelp Meal from Down-to-Earth and the Bud Candy and Overdrive from Advanced Nutrients. I even used some cha-ching from Fox Farms at the end of last season. I don't start adding anything until at least a month or two into the grow because the soils I use already come amended. I also continue using the soil year after year. I take all the soil at the end of the year and place it on a tarp. Then I add perlite, bone meal, blood meal, kelp meal, molasses, coffee grinds, banana peels, egg shells, and mix it all up. I let that sit for a couple of weeks or longer and then start using it on my potted plants in the garden. If I have enough left over after 2 months I will fill up the fabric pots again and plant clover, thyme, and oregano during the off season.

Hi! First of all, this is my first time in my life. I planted 2 different kind of plants one is autoflowering (Gelato Cookie D'ohpe), Gelato Cookie Doh-ope Auto By Dr Krippling Seeds Gelato Cookie Doh-ope Auto. Ground breaking genetics have gone into the Triple G range. Grand Heft Auto’s genetics main characteristics is its big composition, and heavy yields. Whilst stabilizing their specially selected Girl Scout Cookies strain with the GHA a number of times, they also crossed this with an amazing Gelato Auto. GGG3’s fruits are ripe with aroma’s and flavor. Yields are approximately 80 gr/plant and the aroma from these flowers are special. The taste from these dense, sticky buds are sure to have you coming back time after time for more of this great tasting flower. The other one is feminized (Purple Punch). Purple Punch Feminized Seeds By Barney’s Farm. Purple Punch Feminized Seeds are a 90% indica dominant hybrid. with a combined lineage of Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple this genetic is capable of an indoor yield of up too 700g/m2. Expect aromas of Baked Apple Pie as well as Cherry and caramelised Blueberries. Also expect a short bushy plant with great trichome production and a THC count of 25%. This high yielding, high THC hybrid is an all-round quality genetic with a fast harvest window of 50 to 60 days. Yet another great addition to Barney’s Farms Cali Connection Range. I started counting my day from the day I started germination. 2 different seeds, one is autoflowering (Gelato Cookie D'ohpe) and the other one is feminized from The Bakery Co. called Purple Punch. I started germination by putting them to the water for 12 hours in the evening on Sunday. After twelve hours I put them between paper towels. It started sprouting very quick, the next day I needed to put them to the soil. Purple Punch the feminized one started growing faster, bigger sprout, compare to the autoflowering Gelato Cookie D'ohpe. I started using a 60 W led lamp for the seedling stage this lamp has 2 head 30-30W that was divided for the two plants 30 W each. The next day they came out of the soil and started their life. The Purple Punch was growing faster. First, I had my own made place made of kitchen foil under my computer desk :D, and then I purchased a grow tent which is 140x60x60. I did not use any ventilation the first week and kept the humidity 85-90 percent, and I used trigger spray on the plant also. Watering the first 7 days was 10 ml in the morning and after 12 hours later also 10ml, so every morning and evening 20ml a day. I also used trigger spray to keep the soil wet around and sprayed the plant also. I never use tap water at any stage I buy still water from the shop and they love it. I want 100 percent organic plants so my nutrition will be bat guano mix with acacia honey. My soil mix is Coco coir, perlite mix 70:30 which is mixed with a soil that consists of 20% sphagnum peat moss, 35% garden peat, 10% high-quality organic Worm-Humus, 30% perlite, and 5% Pre-Mix. These two kinds of soil ratio are 50-50 Percent.

All in all every strain is doing great! Blueberry is the closes to finishing followed by chemdawg and lastly the Somango I just flipped little over a week ago so still have a little while to go with her! Blueberry has a pungent and fresh berries/citrus aroma going on while the chemdawg has the infamous og odor no doubt og is related to it haha. Thanks for checking it out! XD ..sorry for the delayed update

Week 10: Mold Warfare & Rainy Woes Update: 28.07.2025 | Day 79 Tough news first: Constant rain, humidity never drops below 60% - full-blown mold weather. Yesterday spotted first mold outbreaks. Cut immediately: 1 budsite on Forbidden Runtz, 2 on Green Crack. Damage contained for now thanks to eagle-eyed inspection. Daily mold patrols intensified. Strain Status in the Rain: Forbidden Runtz - Foxtailing worsens (humidity culprit?) - Trichomes mostly cloudy - 1 week to harvest target - Considering partial harvest: Biggest buds first, smaller ones risk mold - Beautiful purple hues emerging (ironically makes mold spotting harder) - Smell remains fantastic Green Crack - Fully sugarcoated but mold hit her hardest - Yield estimate: ~50g if no more mold - Trichomes: Cloudy but zero amber - needs 7+ days - Critical need: Airflow around thickest buds Bruce Banner - No mold yet (thank you sativa genes!) - Buds still swelling daily - stay vigilant - Resin production finally ramping up - Pistils showing vibrant colors - Mild aroma developing - Timeline: Minimum 2 more weeks Survival Protocol: - Daily inspections: Flashlight checks inside every bud - Immediate surgery: Sterilized scissors ready 24/7 - Yellow leaf purge: Remove wilted leaves instantly (mold incubators) Hoping your skies are sunnier than ours, Catch y'all next week.

She grew 17cm this week. Over doubled her height. Lets see what she does in the next couple of weeks. I note she got a LOT bushier. Also her leaves are VERY broad and indica like for such a sativa strain! 😶

good guys weekly comment? nice situation! I wasn't sure of this success unfortunately little room for growth! THESE PLANTS COULD BE MONSTERS it would have taken ample space but the yield gives me hope three CBDVs and a mokum tulip, this last one has been subjected to the most stress in the last week with ice the colors are hallucinating. the trichomes have turned red. i watered with water only for two weeks but no night without light i decided and cut i had huge buds full of red trichomes, and a kind of foxtail tendency on the largest apical which gave me a shock for don't leave time and cut everything, unfortunately I suffer from a disorder that causes me epilepsy I think CBDVA is a worthy replacement for my shitty drugs. Surely it was a challenge to insert such large vases and not perform the topping but it was not recommended in fact they have grown enormous think an LST in an open space exposed to the sun at 360 degrees. They gave me the mokum tulip and I am very grateful for having already fallen in love with this strain in terms of terpenic and visual aspects, a bit difficult the growth in the sixth week had to be followed it had to be sprayed with a lot of air. but the attention was rewarded by an Asian genetics I happened to have a very diesel phenotype you can also smell the aromas of hops mango and blueberries indescribable last I've already cut and trimmed! photos soon

Day 64. Heavy feed day, first 5 will get 1600 blast with EC going high as 3.0 ;)))))) If no burned leaves - Ill have huge buds, otherwise I will have 5 smallest girls on harvest day .... Fingers crossed ;)))) That's my last blast, I think I over calculated amount of Epsom salt... Should be in 1200 range, but it's my last BioBizz bottles and I can't remake new blend. Looking at them now - it looks like I haven't touch a leaf from them a week or so ago ... Insane ! I want buds !!! Will have to strip again, but I will do it in late flower, not now ... Day 65. They survived and loved it !!! Video shows and proves it ! Happy Growing !

This week the ladies got topped at about 5 node spaces. They’re loving the nutrients and the light! I plan on starting the flowering process in about a week!

Finally harvest time arrived 🤗 It’s been a great run, though I had to improve a lot along the way. But as usual there was a way to get things done and finished up😎 After a long heatwave I decided to chop the whole tent, just a bit before I actually wanted to. But I see amber trichomes and heavy buds, so I think it’s safe to chop now, so here we go. 🤩 Can’t wait to taste this after so long watching over it🤤 More details to come.

Nothing much to report. Girls just chugging along. Waiting for the roots to develop so I can pot up into the final pot. Environment is good. My aim is to get these into their tent in the next two weeks. Good luck all! Stay safe! Track ID - Three 6 Mafia - Swervin (feat. Mike Jones & Paul Wall)

This plant was fun the whole way through. I had some issues up front and the plant got super stressed but in the long run she developed one huge bud so that's pretty exciting.

Water change day .. Drinking. 2000 ml each per day.. So 6 days on the nute change... ******************* 2 Buckets done .. 5 Left . I may leave the caramel cream autos until tomorrow , they are drinking slightly less per day , but the big girls are drinkers for sure .... So getting better at mixing nutes, bought giant bag of disposable droppers, god damn so much easier for me . I have visual impairment, and shaky hands from the brain tumors. The visual impairment is bad, but the shakes come and go . I normally get a few good rips on the Dr Dabber Switch before i start to help. But the mixing went much better . less mess and i simply pitched the pipette after each use . YEs i know wasteful .... but for me , for now its what i have to do. 1 pipette for each nute for each bucket, they are cheap enough. This way not contaminating anything, and at the amount im mixing, 3 mils - 20 mils each . Biggest problem i have, and i guess maybe not a bad problem ... I have 4 girls on one side of the 4x9 tent, and 3 on the other. The four on the one side are all Glue Gelato Autos and my lord I can not get to the back left side bucket at all with the amount of foliage. So moved a bucket to the other side to allow me to drop in a pail to do a siphon out and refill. See pictures... So I am 10000% upgrading to the 13 gallon x 8 fall ponic system after this grow ..... THANK GOD the caramel cream autos are half the size and 1 of the glue gelatos is slightly smaller on the right to allow me to move around the tent slightly, and im a lean dude.... But i am surprised each day when i check the progress just how far they have come for my first try ... Still have low expectationsfor crops and yields , but am loving the time learning and getting to know hydroponics. I TOTALLY get when the OG growers say just listen to them they will tell you what they need, legit all i have done is feed, maintain enviroment and observe. positive i can not make the same moistakes i made so far net time just by learning my lessons and understanding better the purpose for each Nute and how to spot when the plants are asking for them . Well have atleast 2 more to do tonight most likely will get all the gelato glues done Cheers Check out band i recently turned on to .. Fortunate Youth on Sugar Shack ...

Repotted to 3 gallon with Ocean Forest soil. Added Mykos to the soil. Moved light up as far as it could go and dimmed 30% to attempt to get rid of dropping/clawing. Watered through and drained. Added tomato cages. Added time lapse of when repotted to this morning to test.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 01/11/2019 - Started using BioBizz Alg-a-Mic on spray, using it once per day at lights off, 1 or 2 puffs to create a light mist, only on non feed days, I mixed 0.1ml on 100ml water 6.4 PH. 03/11/2019 - Gave her 250ml plain water with 6.4PH 05/11/2019 - Gave her 0,15ml of each BioBizz Grow, Max and Bloom on 300ml water 6 PH didn't manage to get it higher to 6.3 at least. 06/11/2019 - She started to show some pistols, probably entering pre-flower. 07/11/2019 - Soil was to dry due to 2930c temps gave her 0,500ml of 6.5PH water with 0,25ml Grow, 0,25ml Max, and 0,45ml Bloom BioBizz.
