Method 🎚️ Medium: 🥥🥥 We ran this one in an even parts soil, compost, coco and purlite mix. The hope was to minimize required nute feedings and maintenance. The addition of nute nuetral coco proved to be somewhat of a mistake and may have contributed to some unnecessary plant stress when she used up all the available natural nutes in the soil and compost. There simply wasn’t enough good stuff in the medium to see her happily through the cycle without extra supplementation. I’d do this again but leave out the coco and layer the compost at the bottom with minimal medium saturation and runoff in early/mid veg. This should achieve better results the next time round. She was entirely untrained and allowed to stretch to her highest height. A better yield definitely would’ve been derived with some topping/mainlining and training but regardless, her freak flag flew high and She went unnoticed by unwanted eyes. We won’t be able to grow high next year due to construction next door so this may be the last time I run a skyscraper outdoor in the rear yard. 1/5 volume emojis for method because there really wasn’t any training. 2/5 coconut emojis- not for the lack of training but due to the unsupportive medium amendments like the coco. Yield🌴🌴🌴 And now the part we all seem to measure with great expectation. The expectation in this case was to pull 9-12oz off this girl and we fell well short of that. For the reasons mentioned above as well as the fact that she was putting at least some of her efforts into seed production too. We spotted it pretty early on in flower and some stalks started showing signs of ball formation that every grower fears. I was really concerned she’d be a full on hermie but this didn’t happen and it seems it was just localized pollination. Probably due to an occasional, randy bumblebee that had come from elsewhere. It’s not all bad at all and we did pull a few seeds off of her that we’ll give a shot to in the future I think👍. Final yield - 7.18oz. I’m never going to complain about a quarter pound off a plant that needed almost no maintenance whatsoever👍. 3 palm tree emojis for not going full hermie and putting out enough of this magically intense bud to share with friends and family👍 Props As always, big shout-out thank you to GD for making this site accessible to us. There’s simply no better way to track a grow day-by-day than this platform. Gotta thank everyone who swung in and rung in with a like or comment too. Some awesome folks on this site for sure. Great discussion and now that the harvest season is coming to a close I hope to be lurking around for interesting potential strains and creepn on everyone else’s plants. Happy grow’n folks - all the plants made it to the chopping block this year so we’re lookn forward to a very relaxing winter.👊😎👊😎👊

August 28 is officially day 1 for me. Every single one of these popped easily and came out of the soil with zero issues. The seedling stage stresses me out so I’m glad things are already off to a good start. Toking one down for good luck *puff puff pass*.

I've finally got the drip system up and running, perfect time too because they are definitely drinking more. They are getting fed 4 times a day at 1 minute increments which comes out to about 100 ml per feeding. The plants have really started to take off, roots are coming out of the bottom of the cubes. I just topped all of them so they'll start branching out more. I'm currently running a 600w MH and am starting to deal with heat. 2 weeks ago I ordered a ChilLED Growcraft 600w LED light, I can't wait for it to show up so the heat will drop and I can get back on track with the proper VPD. I also just recently ordered Mammoth P microbes and some silica. Hop you all are enjoying the grow so far.

1 of the bubba kush & 2 of the gorilla zkittlez are a little behind but over all everything seems to be going good so far! Day 10 update transplanted all the ones in smaller pots to 5 gallon pots except 1 of the bubba Kush it still needs a few more days! Everything else seems to be going great!

Start of week 5... Looking back at the first few weeks of veg, i never imagined that they would thrive this good in week 5 already! (Look back at week 1+2 for horror pictures) Whole of week 4 i worked on my climate control automation. I will keep the set up for atleast a week. 👽👉26/9 Big LST day. I got new supplies to manage the rest of the ladies properly. Topped another one ( 5/6 is topped) Cut just a couple of leaves. The crusty ones that did not receive light and the ones casting shadows over my lovely budsights. 👽👉27/9 Waterday* and recovery 2ml/L Bio heaven + fish mix / 6.4 PH 1.68 ECLetting them recover Humidity a bit higher during night because of watering, turned the temp up to match the VPD. 👽👉28/9 They look content, humidity a bit higher during night because of watering. 👽👉29/9 I am happy how you thrive, but they need some pruning/defoliation as soon as they have recovered from the stress training. 👽👉30/9 Did some defoliation, decided to flip to flower after their recovery. 👽👉1/10 They had a case of empty humidifier, resulting in high vpd for 7hours. Water day* 2.1xml/L Bio heaven + fish mix / 6.2 PH 1.75 EC 👽👉2/10 They look great, healthy and happy! Climate is back on point

the cold has arrived and it shows!! what a nice progression towards purple/orange colors!! I absolutely love those nuances. had a little check on the trichomes, we are almost there, the brownish/milky ones are still few against the transparent ones, but in a matter of a few days I hope they are gonna balance. i wanna exploit those last sunny days, then the average temperature is gonna be too much cold, making impossible all the biology process, or at least too slow to be appreciated. So next update is gonna be the cut, early in the morning.

26.4.25: The plants were watered with 3 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, containing the following nutrients:- ♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) by Greenleaf nutrients ♡ 1/4 Tsp Ecothrive Biosys. 27.4.25: I LST'd again by adjusting the tie downs. For FastBuds Mystery seed auto #1 and RQS Northern Lights autoflower, this will probably be the last time I adjust the fabric ties, as they're now well in to flower. Keeping the canopy as even as possible. 29.4.25: FastBuds Mystery seed #1 has taken very quickly to the readjustment of the fabric ties. Within an hour, the plant had already grown back towards the light. That's always so crazy to me. I watered 3 litres 2 days ago, and I'm not going to water again until it has dried. I suspect that will be at the end of the week. The larger pots are a learning curve with trying to water adequately but not too much. I don't think that I've ever overwatered, I never water to run off. This time came uncomfortably close though Thanks for checking my diary and hanging out 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

11/28 - My god is she shooting up! 5.5" in a week... and still the claw, claw, claw of her leaves. And she's SO close to being in flower... they'll probably be quite evident in a couple of days... I've been using the LST clips to help me tuck her fan leaves under the bud sites.. rather hilarious but it works! Soon, I'll be LSTing the bud sites themselves once their branches get a little longer... Next grow, I'm going to try a different method of LST - but for now I'll go with the way I've always done it. Oh Pinky... I wish you'd tell me why your leaves are clawing! 11/29 - Oops... I had typed in the wrong date for the comment above! It wasn't 11/18 - it was 11/28 - yesterday! Anyway, I fixed it. And Pinky is going great guns... she's now starting to go through water quite a bit and continuing her stretch... I may have to transfer her to the closet (headroom 7') after Bruce #2 is finished in there! But that's not going to be for quite a while yet so I think I might have to get a little more serious about her LST... I can't remember what the harvest time is estimated at by Seedsman.... of course, I'd have to add a couple of weeks to their rose-colored-glasses estimates - but I'd better check it out. Yikes! 11/30 - She's doing really well... I had hoped to do some LST on her yesterday and then my day rather exploded on me - so I'll get to that today for sure. The Day 30 pic I've put up here is interesting... when I got up this morning and took a look at her, I was convinced she was now in flower... but I just don't know... and I guess it makes little difference - I just prefer to think of her as being in flower now and so I declare she is! LOL! Princess Pinky! What a lovely gal! (But I STILL want to know why your leaves are curling, you crazy lady!) 12/2 - good god! GOOD GOD!!!! This lady has grown 6.5" since I last measured her on 11/28... FOUR DAYS!! Ya think she's unhappy?! I don't!! Starting to really love this lady who is now definitely in flower... She's so spacey, I doubt I'll have to do any defoliation at all on her.... I'm now DEFINITELY planning to transfer her to the grow closet when my #2 Bruce is done - and hope she can hold on in the tent until that happens... I was NOT expecting her to get so tall! 12/04 - Oh. My. God. She won't slow her growth!! She's adding about 1.5" to her height every day... Oh my aching back!! I should have done a different kind of LST on this one early in the game - bent her over completely - but what did I know?! Can't see the future at all... even with my tri-focals! LOL! If you grow this strain from Seedsman, kick the LST into high gear in the first couple of weeks... Now I'm having to try to figure out how I'm going to handle her! LMAO!!!! Going to be raising her EC today ... up another 0.2 and adding some KoolBloom to her mix... Still am not anticipating the need for defoliation...

The High intensity was to strong (clearly my fault) in the beginning which stunted her overall stretch, she however still delivered super dense, terpene and trichome loaded buds.

So here we go, our first grow under indoor conditions using a DWC (Deep Water Culture) 8xBucket system.But wait ...theres more!! We will now also be showing you guys a traditional South African Sun Outdoor Grow using a self made 3 Tyre flower pot which takes i access of about 75ltrs of Soil (19.8 gallons) during our peak season which starts in September 2021 and Lasts till January 2022. Did also try to Germinate Barneys Farm "Auto Tangerine Dream" but had all three seeds fail their germination period so we have had them replaced with Divine Seeds "Auto Amnesia" which we will be featuring in our next Grow.

🗓️ Week 13 – Flower Week 9 (MAC n Cheese only) Stage: Final Flush 🌿 Overview: MAC n Cheese has entered the final phase of flower and is now deep into flushing with Flawless Finish. The fade-out has begun – leaf color is starting to lighten naturally as nutrient reserves are depleted. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, with just a few early amber starting to show. 💧 Flush Details: • Flush solution: CalMag (EC 0.3) + Flawless Finish @ 2 ml/L • Input pH: 6.2–6.3 • Drain EC: 2.0–2.2, slowly decreasing → No signs of nutrient lockout or overfeeding during the flush Observation: MAC n Cheese is clearing out at a steady pace, though slightly slower than Seriotica. The buds are heavy, dense, and sticky, showing solid late-stage development. No stress symptoms – just a natural fade and ripening under control. 🌕 Harvest Window: Trichomes are hitting the ideal range – cloudy with early amber – harvest is just around the corner!

A lot of growth from last week to this week. Hardly any pH issues now and I rarely have to adjust with pH down. I still check at least once daily. Panicked last week after feeding when I saw how brown the roots were but it seemed to only be from the brown micro solution. Plants were fine. Moved my light up some after noticing a teeny bit of light burn. Plants are finally stretching up. Snapped my airstone in two when cleaning and changing the res tonight so I’ll have to pick up a new bar tomorrow. Will keep a spare on hand from now on. Hoping I’ll be able to flip in 10-14 Days.

8/17 Week 5 Flipping Lights set to 11-13 for the first few days then 12-12 Nuets will transition accordingly Reducing feeds to once a day during the switch Intro Cocotek Bloom a/b at 5ml/gal each Reduce Grow to 10ml/g each Next feed half and half 8/19 Switching to 12-12 from 11-13 think its done its work changes are afoot 8/20 Colas forming quickly may have to flip the week to Flower, lets hope so 😉 They getting a dose of Kangaroots 5ml/g and Fish Shit 2ml/g at intervals during transition purely as plants seem to need. Pics tonight 8/21 Not there entirely yet but wont be long at all Vertical growth has picked up strongly, 2" in 3 days, though I really wont call it stretch yet Continued light defoliation keeping center clear Nuets as is for now Took two cuttings from her for cloning before she is into hard flower. Bring the total to six, so far so good
