What a tough passage this time. A few unpleasant personal events occurred during 3 months of the finest organic farming, some of which were in the battle with my motivation. A time full of happiness and a time full of sadness and compassion. I also learned an incredible amount once again. I’m very grateful.

This week plants are all doing well. Started to feed with the tripart nutes again along with a little calmag & rhizotonic. Watering to runoff every 3 / 4 days Blumat drippers installed now so will dial it in over the next week, My plan is to feed nutes with drippers through the week and hand water with water only once a week to clean excess salts, will see how that go's. There's been a wee bit of stretch and have done some more light defoliation and removed some lower nug sites that wouldn't receive enough light.

Growing and flowering

The first time it sees the light

I started this grow in previously used coco, where you can see remnants of the plants. During a grow cycle

24 hr soak in my proprietary h2O2 blend, she'll be moved to a paper towel to show the tail, then off to her forever home (planted 12/18/24) to do what it is she does. This will be an organic grow with a DIY self watering tray made from dollar store Tupperware, some reflective tape, and some wicking cord. The pot size is 1 gallon and she's going to get a nice dose of LST and ponytailing to minimize the apical dominance while hopefully maximizing the yield. Tiny tent, tiny light, big dreams... Stay tuned folks, this oughta be a wild trip to Ghost Beach!!

I was learning a lot just about water itself. Currently the method I use was inspired by an article I found on Canna Nutrient’s website: Rainwater + tap water to EC 0.2 (100ppm) Add CalMag to reach EC 0.4 (200ppm) Ph down (first diluted a small amount in water) Nutes Day 58: Increased the feed to 3/4 Day 59: Replaced the tap water to liquid silicon. Rainwater + Liquid silicon to EC 0.2 (100ppm) Add CalMag to reach EC 0.4 (200ppm) Ph down (first diluted a small amount in water) to ph 5.6

13/12 in week 5 i started by adjusting LST mainly on the Blueberry a bit since she was getting real bushy. I will probably defoliate at least the first pair of leaves. the others i try tucking away but they keep overshadowing the two lower main nodes. Blueberry really started drinking now, her pot is getting really light. Afghan kush not so much, she is still sipping on the last watering. I hope Afghan Kush ramps up overnight by some miracle cause i really like to always water them both at the same time, rather than having to prepare nutes twice and them being on a different watering schedule. but oh well! Blueberry will get her dose tomorrow, we will se about the afghan. Not much happened until now, they slowly begin their stretch now. maybe we will see some proper early flowers by the end of this week! Judging by their grow rate, im guessing they will take their sweet time, 12-14 weeks or something. Which sucks cause i got brand new air pots i want to try! but you cant win every gamble with autos. 14/12 Watered them with 2 Liters after 7 Day Break. Blueberry picked up the pace, Afghan was "dry enough". Ususal nutrients, added some minor calmag as prevention for any future deficiencies. 18/12 Watered Blueberry with 2L, 2ml/l Grow, Activera and Rootjuice, and 0.2g/l Microbes. Defoliated both of them pretty good. Afghan is skipping watering until 20/12, which will be week 6, she is still a tad too heavy for my likings. 19/12 just some minor leaf tucking and defoliation of the lowest leaves on the afghan. Watering will still take place on 20/12. Will add timelapse for this week tomorrow!

Last week ahead. Next time will cut nitrogen earlier. These ice cream cakes did not like it at this level. Also had a little dripper clog and mokums tulip got a little burnt. At these high ec levels they are super sensitive to drybacks.

WEEK 8 These banana purple are looking 🔥🔥 2 plants now starting to show that amazing purple colour 1 more is also coming along with some hints. I will be buzzing if they all go purple lol. Had some issues with PH last week so they have had fresh nutes and adjusted PH to 6.5 now. It was on 7.5 because of uncalibrated pen. Sticking to the advanced nutrient feeding chart for autoflowers atm I may do a week flush yet just to get rid of any excess buildup and start again on bloom and boosters. A couple of these are behind by a couple of weeks I think. I took off a few more leaves that were barely getting and light and a few nodes at the bottom. Just to keep that airflow going between stems and the top. The Rest are powering through it! So no more defoilation on the late ones💪 Buzzing with results so far! Update next week 👊

Fattening up nicely, and smelling like citrus...I'm impressed

4 unknown plants accidently popped from previous grow buds + Auto Gorilla Cookies surviving. text to edit

i should buy a PH meter its so bad looking

Alles im grünen Bereich 👍🏻💚🍉🌈🎄 Ja, viel gibt es nicht zu sagen außer das ich sehr zufrieden bin mit dem Grow. Adlite IR, UV, Deep Red sind mit angeschlossen, sie sind nämlich jetzt in der Pre-Bloom Phase das heißt 16std. Licht eine Woche und dann 12/12 Umstellung. Euch eine fröhliche Weihnacht 🎄😇

Its starting to flower

Its starting to flower

The plant seems to be in bad shape, with problems all over the place, but it’s still flowering. The other plants that sprouted from the buds seem to be photoperiod, but I’ve never given them much priority.
