everything's looking good 😀 check www.sr-organics.com for some topnotch 5 in 1 fertilizer! root, growth, bloom, micro-organisms, enzymes & vitamins all in one! CODE: "Unkraut10" for 10% Discount! 😊

Lowered the nutes -- didn't feed every 3 days like I previously did, just watered today. Overall looking good. I'm gonna have to move some of the plants to the tub because the bigger auto is getting so bushy. Let me know what you think in the comments, please!

Starting week six of flower. Conducting a defoliation experiment. It has good controls being a rdwc single strain grow in a 4 x 8. So defoliated half the tent and leaving the other half untouched.

End of Week 7 CO2 is definitely increasing growth rates but also changes the game with controlling your environment now that it has to be sealed in order to not waste CO2 unnecessarily. You change one thing and it adds many other variables to keep everything in check. I am learning everyday and that's why I grow. The trellis net is doing its job and the canopy is looking nice and even. I also added a soil top-up and top dress of some BioBloom and Mycorhizae so it can start breaking down before I flip to flower next week (Slow release dry organic amendments). And the ladies are using up nutrients in the soil much faster because of the added CO2 (another variable to take into consideration - faster growth = faster nutrient consumption) In detail: -Carefully removed trellis netting -Ammended each plant individually with my soil mixture and nutrients -Placed them back in the tent -Reinstalled trellis netting and trained the ladies to shape Pest Report: Thrips VS Ladybugs... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. I did not spray any insecticide this week and it really seems like the ladies are happy with my new method of bio-warfare and are wilting less and less often

Pole bent in February and they havnt sent a replacement yet

Just changed waters and plucked some fan leaves.🌊✂️ After plucking the leaves of these girls my hands have an odor of the most lemony citrus scent that I have smelled in strains before. 👃 These mostly sativa hybrids are looking happy and healthy & I can not wait to see the results.😊

So, with these interesting times and what is becoming a fast evolving global catastrophe. I, myself, along with the rest of you ( I hope ) can take some solace in looking after our gardens, to have some peace away from the news, to give our ladies the best care we are able to provide 🌱 If you ever needed any vindication or validation as to why growing your own is best. More than half the world currently in lockdown, and with MJ in short supply, our actions speak for themselves! Anyway, back to this diary. I done a lot of work on the room, invested a lot and tried to make everything as automated as possible. Everything runs on smart plugs, the hydroponic system is DIY and is RDWC which is cooled with a Hailea 150a. 6 plants is what I am going for this time, with a shorter veg length compared to the last grow. I prefer to wait until they show their sex, but if they don’t by week 5, I plan on flipping anyway all being well. I am using 730nm LED’s that come on 15 mins before lights on, turn off during lights on, and then they come back on when lights go out, and stay on for 15 mins. This should enable me to run 13/11 during flower with little risk. I am also going to add a UVB fixture to my custom rig which will only be used during the final 2 weeks of flower. I have 3 Alibaba lights attached to a custom rig, they really are awesome lights. I tested the room out with an Apogee SQ-520 par meter (PAR map in pics). I have dimmed them down, so PAR is around 500 across the whole canopy, this will be increased to 1000 once they’re flipped. I vent from my house, to the room and then outside, this increases the CO2 in the room, which I think helped the yields on the last grow, generally CO2 hovers between 470 and 700 PPM. My ladies look a little sick, but tbh, I struggle starting out in Rockwool, and things usually correct themselves within a couple weeks. With the quarantine I have struggled to pick up a humidifier that is capable of maintaining that room, so it has been all over the place since the start. I have opted to go with Royal Gorilla this cycle, let’s see if it’s as potent as RQS says that it is! Good luck all and take care...

That’s done, harvest! It take me 3,5h to cut all this plant, now she’s drying I will give you the weight when I’ll put buds in jars

Veramente incredibile, la quantità di tricomi è indescrivibile! L'odore e fortissimo le cime sono durissime!!! I tricomi sono tutti bianco latte...finiró la settimana e poi inizierò a fare il risciacquo finale!!! Non vedo l'ora di assaggiare questa prelibatezza di fast buds!!! Come il solito rimango sempre allibito dalla qualità delle genetiche di questi ragazzi secondo me questo è uno dei migliori ceppi che ho coltivato entrerà sicuramente nella mia top teen!!! Grazie per essere passati da qui peace and love!!!

The plants are really throwing lots of hairs Some of the buds almost look white ⚪️ Rqs sweet skunk is starting to fatten up A little more stretch out of fast buds mystery #2 gonna do a heavier defoliation on it soon Gonna give sweet skunk about 3-4 more weeks, maybe more, just gonna play it by ear

This week went pretty well. I was worried about the flower stretch, and running out of room. I have a tall tent, 80" but with my huge 8" carbon filter, lighting, and automatic drain buckets I have the pots sitting on, I really only have about 48 inches of actual plant height to work with, which I originally thought would be MORE than enough room for Autoflowers, now I am not sure. This lady definitely almost doubled in size this past week. I am still on 18/6 light cycle, and feeding 6X per day in coco coir via a timer (drain to waste) with the runoff being discarded out of the tent via a gravity fed auto draining system I built. I started adding Liquid Kool Bloom this week to help the flowers start to thicken up, and I am also still using about .5 tsp per gallon of Cal Mag (for the Coco, not the plants) and dry kool bloom at about 1.5 tsp per gallon. I am keeping my EC around 1.5 and keeping my ph in a range from 5.7 to 6.2 Please let me know if you see something I am missing or should be doing better! Thanks for checking me out! Blaze on!

OBJECTIVE -Same nutrients /pH last week SUBJECTIVE -Adding 3-5 gallons daily -PPM Increasing? CONVERSATION Coming down to our last couple weeks, some amber trichomes forming on the leaves. Some branches have such heavy buds they're starting to fall over and require support. Every week we think they'll stop getting bigger but they prove us wrong everytime. The mutant plant has the largest buds but is developing the trichomes the slowest so far. Hopefully well reach 3lbs.

These girls are in full flower in week 5. They stayed the typical size of an auto. The two were seperated in anticipation but clearly it may have been unnecessary

Rückblickend war zwei mal düngen mit 100% ein wenig zu viel. Die Blattspitzen waren hier und da etwas mitgenommen. Es wird wohl in Zukunft auf zwei mal die Woche mit 75% hinauslaufen und mal gucken ob die Ladys das besser verkraften. Das erste PH-Messgerät was den Wert nicht korrekt angezeigt hat war letztendlich nicht die große Hilfe. Das passiert in Zukunft auch nicht mehr. Aus den kleinen Fehlern konnte man doch recht viel mitnehmen :) Trotzdem haben die Ladys alles gut überstanden und haben einfach riesig viel Spaß gemacht.

SS and CC are smelling delicious 😋

21.07.2025 Defoliation, Lollypopping, and LST/HST. 25.07.2025 The strechy pheno on the right side has some problems. I think I've overwaterd her a little. But she is already the looser in this grow. Even though she is the most mature yet. The short pheno in the middle is doing alright. But the pheno on the left side is a real beaty. And she smells so much more than the other two!

No issues so far, dope soil is legit 6/20 Topped the first Gelato of Advanced Seeds
