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.

Hey all! 👋 This week is when most of my plants deficiencies started to show, specially on Matcha 😢so to try to fix this problem I decided to use Revive from Advanced Nutrients on both plants (there were some slight indications that Pistachio might be suffering from some of these issues as well) and since last time it worked amazingly well I just decided to do it... and it seems it did its magic! The changes started to become more obvious near the end of the week when finally Matcha started to grow, so I'm happy! Also, since Pistachio is growing well I decided to do some LST on her as well and she took it without problems 😍 I also believe this issue is a mix of nitrogen deficiency and magnesium (mostly this) and I suppose that's because of the heat that's inside the tent and because I'm feeding my plants with bottled water (different brand) that's probably low on that mineral. In my previous grow I used to add tap water to the mix but the water where I used to live was better so I fear that I might end doing more harm than good if I use this water to feed the plants 😵if the issues continues tho I'll get a bottle of Cal Mag and see if things improve. Also, this week's timelapse is long! I barely moved the plants and thanks to that I managed to make a long video. I hope you'll all enjoy it 😁 Thanks for reading! ;)

This lovely lady is suffering from a little bit of what appears to be a calcium deficiency which is being remedied now with some calmag. Other than that she is doing great. The buds are fattening up real good. She is starting to develop some minty notes and is frosting up nicely.

This week marks the long-awaited harvest of my 24K Gold. After several close trichome inspections, she finally reached the perfect window: mostly cloudy heads, with the first amber trichomes appearing on the upper buds. Perfect timing for maximum potency and terpene quality. ⸻ ⚖️ Yield (Wet Weight) 📦 773 g wet (confirmed on scale) This number includes the full plant with branches after a light wet trim. Final dry weight will be added after 10–14 days of drying + curing. ⸻ ✂️ Harvest Process • Removed fan leaves only • Performed a minimal wet trim to keep most trichomes intact • Entire plant cut at the base • Hung upside down on a full drying line • Goal: slow drying for best flavor ⸻ 🌬️ Drying Environment • Temperature: 18–19 °C • Humidity: 52–55% • Airflow: Soft and indirect • Estimated drying time: 10–14 days This setup should bring out the full citrus-diesel profile 24K Gold is known for. ⸻ 💎 Bud Quality & Aroma 24K Gold showed its signature traits strongly: • Extremely frosty buds with thick trichome layering • Long, twisted pistils turning orange/brown • Tight, medium-large bud structure • Sticky, resin-heavy trim work • Strong smell: orange zest × diesel × kush This pheno produced some of the frostiest buds of the whole run. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Behavior 24K Gold stayed healthy from start to finish: • No mold or late-flower issues • Responded very well to training • Thick branches, strong stretch • Zero nutrient sensitivity in late flower A very reliable and rewarding cultivar — definitely one to grow again.

Week 4 Veg🌱 Some very selective defoliation this week only removing as little as possible to get as much light to the lower developing bud sites as possible. All 3 females are showing signs that they are starting to transition into the the flowering phase which is pretty cool. It’s been challenging keeping up with the feed requirements when feeding in just coco but all 3 plants seem to be healthy. Continuing to tie down the main stem to help open up the canopy. Hopefully the next week shows some good growth again as they start the stretch phase. Peace ✌️ 🕊️🌱

This week things have stabilised a bit, my bigger humidifier came on D26, so hopefully that will help slow transpiration a little! Not really much to report, plants are growing okay, one of them is still struggling a bit, they’ve all been topped for the second time. As I have one plant per 4ft sq, I think I might only mainline to 4 mains, haven’t decided yet! Have bought a Torus Hydro PH balancer, will see if that helps with the PH swings going forward 🧐 Happy growing guys!

4/10 Fed half strength nutes with epsom salt but no molasses. 4/11 Something I've noticed, feeding really makes the buds grow dense by the next day. It's hard to notice the plants slowly growing at this stage day by day, but feeding definitely changes that for a day. 4/15 More half strength nutrients! This time with epsom salt and a half tablespoon of molasses per gallon.

At day 34, I can see more changes in the terpene profiles. The big winner at this stage is the pheno #2. Everything from her is superior: structure, bud size and consistency, resin production... The pheno #3 is my second favorite one for the same characteristics, except for the terpene profile which is the more favorable one among the 5. The girls still share that same tropical funk back ground (myrcene/terpinolene). The sour lemon punch is still present in the phenos #2 and 4. Pheno #1 Sweet/Gassy Pheno #2 Sweet/tropical/Sour citrus Pheno #3 The more interesting terpene profile. She kept ALL the banana aroma from the tropical funk 😋 Sweet/tropical/skunk Pheno #4 The less interesting terpene profile. The aroma carries weird hints of soap. Sweet/tropical/Sour citrus/Chemical/Soapy Pheno #5 The terpene profile is very close from pheno #3. Very tropical and sweet, with less of the banana aroma. Sweet/tropical

On February 6th, I transplanted clone into a 7 gallon fabric pot. I put 70 cups of Ocean Forest in, then placed clone (still in pot), in the center of 7 gallon fabric pot, then filled the rest of the pot up with Happy Frog. Before I transplanted, I sprinkled Great White in transplant area.

It's now the start of Week 6. I defoliated like 4 fan leaves because they were disgustingly huge, 😅. So I added the "Defoliation" grow technique. 😆
