Sep 7: what a great plant. Totally love how it’s going. Flowers keep getting fatter and heavier and she’ll be done before the end of September. Sep 8: there a tree root sticking up a bit in my yard which means the plant can be tilted toward the late afternoon sun. This is helpful because the sun is getting really low to the horizon already and we’re down to 13 h of daylight. Plus now direct sun is done in my yard by about 6 pm. Indirect light is okay but you really want direct sun at all times. Videos shows use of 730 nm far red light at dusk. Just a few seconds is all it takes to set the plant into dark mode two hours faster. It’s a bloom booster because you get two bonus hours of darkness or a 26 h day. Very effective but don’t miss a night and you have to adjust the timing each night. When starting this on July 20 Civil Twilight, as listed on timeanddate.com for my location, was at 9:45 and today it was at 8:40 pm. The red light at dusk is a highly recommended trick if you have daily access to your outdoor plants. Also works indoors, of course, and on autos too. Also I think it helps ‘stabilize’ the plant by emphatically putting it into dark mode, and therefore less susceptible to stray light to cause a hermie. Have not had hermie problems in four seasons of using the red light so that is my only ‘proof’ but it is true so far, even with taking flash pics before using the red light. Sep 9: getting heavier and now more branches are weighed down and slumping against the scrog net. Nice problem to have, I know, and without the scrog net some of the branches would be breaking off now. She’s now officially too big and too top heavy to keep moving around the yard in pursuit of direct sun. Sun is much lower to horizon now and direct sun hours are dropping too. Sep 10: getting close to done and getting very top heavy. Awesome. Sep 12: raining today. Has been cool last few nights and some purple colour is just starting to show. I don’t want to overdo fertilizer near the end, but I decided she is showing K deficiency. I’m out of malted barley but I still have potassium silicate, so I used that and some cal-mag. I’m avoiding kelp and molasses or using more P at this late stage because that can make the dried bud hard to burn and that really sucks. So, potassium silicate and cal-mag it is. The potassium silicate raises the pH and it takes about the same volume of vinegar to get the pH down. A good does of acetate is likely good for the bugs in the soil too. Then a squirt of Dr Bronners soap as a surfactant and that also supplies some biodegradable carbon for the bugs in the soil. Seems to work overall and is cheap. Apologies for the large number of pics, but she’s so photogenic. 😎 #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds

Ultima semana solo riego con 3 ml De enzimas por litro de agua, esta etapa es un riego final, donde se puede esperar a que se seque el sustrato. Una vez las hojas no muestren signos de vida, o estan muy amarillas, ya no cumple función para realizar la fotosíntesis, dejar la planta mas tiempo ahí es perdida de recursos. Es el momento ideal para poder cortar. NOTA FINAL: Cherry Lemon AUTO: Es una genética compacta pero productora, con manifestación de antocianinas ante los cambios de clima, mas calor es igual a un color de las inflorescencias mas lilas. Mas Frio, y el color central tiende a ponerse morado, a un color purpura y vino tinto, propio de las genéticas Cherry. Tonos de aromas cítricos y dulces en el aire. AK ULTRA: Es una genética bastante sativa, con una floración larga, esta planta todo lo que le puedas dar, se lo va a comer , asi que hay que tener precaución a la hora de administrarle la comida semanalmente. Para verano es una genética excelente, y puede llegar a dar bastante producción, dentro del indoor llegando a 1.20 metros 1.30. Tolerando mucho el calor y la sequia. Flores densas y compactas, ramas laterales abundantes , aromas a limón y Diesel por el aire. En lo que respecta a la alimentación de las sales, tantos A+B y C . Las autoflorecientes con las solución A ( N 4- P 2- K 3) tienen una buena base de nitrógeno, calcio y magnesio, lo necesario para que la planta crezca hasta la semana 5 sin necesidad de cortar el nitrógeno de golpe. Sino que aplicando la mitad de la dosis cuando la planta entre en floración. Durante las primeras dos semanas se recomienda tirar la mitad de la dosis utilizada en vegetación + la solución B que es la de flora ( N1: 5 P- 5 K) luego de la tercera semana ya se puede aumentar la dosis de 2ml x Litro en cada riego a la semana. Por ejemplo, si la planta en la semana come 800ppm. El primer riego debe aumentarse cada 1ML en agua base de osmosis 0.045ppm hasta que la solución marque 400ppm - ML. A los tres días repetimos hasta lograr 400pm-. El próximo riego si no vemos excesos, se puede diluir un poco mas de ML x L hasta un máximo de 5ml de la formula B. Luego de 3 riegos con sales, es recomendable regar con agua lo mas limpia posible o usar enzimas para que haya un arrastre de las sales y el sustrato quede mas liviano. Dejando de aplicar sales y regando solo con agua 2 semanas antes de la cosecha. En la solución C para auto florecientes en todo el cultivo con un NPK de 1:1 5:1 . Las dosis acá fueron mas altas empezando de 2.5ml hasta 6.5 ml x Litro de agua. Aquí no hay sobre-fertilización, se puede agregar tranquilamente hasta 4 riegos en dosis bajas , y ya en el quinto riego es recomendable usar solamente agua. Debido a que es una formula que expreso una pequeña falta de PK, se pueden agregar aditivos ricos en Fosforo y potasio para potenciar el cultivo. También como la solución C, es recomendable dejar de fertilizar dos semanas antes de la fecha de corte o cosecha , cualquier tipo de aditivos minerales, dejando así un sabor mas suave a la planta. OJO: Si ud va a usar este producto con fines medicinales como aceites y extracciones, es recomendable que limpie bien el sustrato, Cortando con la fertilización 10 a 15 días antes de cortar la planta. De lo contrario, puede seguir alimentando la planta hasta el ultimo de sus días. Pero el sabor no será el mismo y arruinará el trabajo de meses solo por un capricho de querer tener mas producción. Pero si a ud no le molesta, puede fertilizar hasta el ultimo dia de vida de la planta. TIP: Si tiene la posibilidad de usar enzimas por cada 3 riegos de sales minerales, seriá lo mas perfecto para la planta. Luego puede volver a fertilizar tranquilamente. Aqui un ejemplo. 💧( AGUA) Semana X Fertilizacion (🔴 ) Fertilizacion (🔴 )Fertilizacion (🔴 ) 💧( AGUA) O enzimas. Repetir, dos semanas antes, parar de fertilizar.Y regar solo las proximas dos semanas con agua.

1-11 At the end of the day i chopped her down, did a small wet trim removing some big leaves, and hang the buds to dry. 2-11 Temps: 19.3 to 20.5 degrees Humidity: 55% to 64% 3-11 Temps: 17.1 to 20.4 degrees Humidity: 54% to 66% 4-11 Temps: 18.1 to 19.6 degrees Humidity: 62% to 66% 5-11 Temps: 17.9 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 56% to 64% 6-11 Temps: 17.6 to 19.4 degrees Humidity: 59% to 67% 7-11 Temps: 17.8 to 19.2 degrees Humidity: 60% to 66% 8-11 Temps: 17.4 to 19.9 degrees Humidity: 58% to 67% 9-11 Temps: 17.8 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 62% to 64% 10-11 Temps: 18.2 to 20.5 degrees Humidity: 62% to 65% 11-11 Temps: 18.7 to 20.4 degrees Humidity: 57% to 65% 12-11 Temps: 18 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 54% to 66% 13-11 Temps: 17.8 to 20.2 degrees Humidity: 61% to 67% Started trimming today. 14-11 Finished trimming. I was afraid of finding a lot of budrot, luckily it was only the one cola. The buds are very frosty, the bottom at the base of the branch looks a bit brownish on some buds, i inspected it with a microscope and didnt find any mold or weird things. There are a lot of amber trichomes tho. I think that's why it looks brown like that. It smells and smokes good, so i think its fine. If someone thinks otherwise, let me know! End results: Buds: 92 Grams Small Buds: 18 Grams Trim: 16.7 Grams Total weight of the buds: 110 Grams. I calculated that i used a total of 72.3 watts this grow, that makes it 1.52 grams per watt! Very happy with the end results, and its by far my personal record hahaha.

Still looking pretty good so far. After harvesting Girl Scout Cookies Auto, Yuhbary Auto is sharing a light with my two other, much younger plants. The light is a lot closer to Yuhbary Auto than before, which leads to discoloration of some fan leaves, but as far as I understand it, that's to be expected due to suddenly increased photosynthesis. A lot more Trichomes are getting milky, but so far, no amber ones in sight. UPDATE: That was that - Yuhbary Auto suddenly developed amber trichomes and the lower fan leaves started to turn yellow. A lovely grow, a lovely plant and a very nice outlook on what's to come in her next phase.

Our Ghost Train Haze Automatic by Zamnesia started off very well, they had a good sprint since I added Alga grow and they had the chance to start metabolizing the powerful additives from Plagron. We quickly got to the first topping, as with all the others I decided to make a plant with the techniques and a tip. I'm not completely ready to give up the main cola. Applied Techniques - Given the numerous requests from growers, we decided to show you what happens when you apply the topping + Lst to autoflowering plants. It is very important to anticipate it as much as possible, autoflowering plants start flowering at about the 5th intenodo, you need to anticipate that moment to give the plant the chance to vegetate as much as possible. In general, when you see that there are two good side branches, you can do topping, they will go into veg as much as possible and you will have a split plant, I have seen very nice results, especially in warm periods when the plant tends to vegetate a lot, in winter we could have a bit of dwarfism but with a lot of resin for sure. So I cleaned everything and cut at the top leaving only the main growth line, called Main Lining, the florets will be lowered during growth and the plant will eventually be like "split" in the main line with the various branches. On photoperiodic plants, however, we will do topping repeatedly, which is not recommended with autoflowering plants so as not to lengthen the times of plants born to finish in 10 weeks. The second week (including a few days of germination) we gave Power Roots 1 ml/l, Pure Zym 1 ml/l, Sugar Royal 1 ml/l, Alga Grow 3 ml/l - Plagron nutrients are available at Zamnesia in convenient pack formats for all growing styles. I used this one with a simple search you can find the other products. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/12119-plagron-top-grow-box-100-naturale.html Try a seed of this variety that drives us crazy... ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11230-zamnesia-seeds-rainbow-sherbet-automatic.html Description Zamnesia // A cross between Pink Guava, Sunset Sherbet and a hint of ruderalis, Rainbow Sherbet Auto offers a wide range of flavors, effects and more. This 70% indica-dominant strain reaches considerable THC levels (24%) and is suitable for both experienced growers and those taking their first steps in the world of cannabis cultivation.

We are watching trichomes every day and it looks like it is almost ready so we are thinking of harvesting next week. It is already possible to see some amber trichomes. Unfortunately it seems that we are not going to harvest the expected amount, the buds were not very dense and fat, apparently the buds are just small leaves with trichomes.

6/5 Starting week 5 The girls are drinking more quickly. So today I watered and fed using TPS1 Circle has just passed Gaia in height. From Friday 6/2 she grew 6 inches from 22 to 28 she got 3 liters Gaia grew from 24 to 26" she got 4 liters 6/7 Circe is growing like a weed (heehee) and quickly passed Gaia. Circe is 31" Gaia 27". Gaia mother is the stereo type mom large hips and flowing tresses while Circe is the willow-of-the-wisp free spirit so true for a healer. Today I flushed all the plants with 1 gallon of filtered water to remove any buildup of nutrients. Hopefully, since I've cut way back on fertilizer, they are getting what they need. The other two Cream Caramel and Gelato 41 are short and remain on the crates to keep them within 30 inches from the light. At 6/9 they are 11 inches. 6/9 water and feeding day. Circe and Gaia both drink 4 liters of water each feeding. Circe grew 3 more inches She is now 34.5. Gaia has stopped growing at 27.5 inches, Gelato 41 is 12 inches (lst) and Cream Caramel 13. These are AFRO girls. Short, Squat and Very bushy. So many leaves, I may have to trim out some large fans to give light to the bud sites. I put mirrors under their canopies to increase light penetration. My mom and dad met and married in post WWII Japan and spent several years there. Mom taught the children of the officers and diplomats but she was also a life-long learner. Her interest were cultural, religious spiritual, music and art. She studied Sumee, Japanese painting, ikebana, flower arranging, and cooking. Some of her Sumee art shown is in week 2. Here in week 5 I've included some flower arranging pictures known in Japan as Ikebana. @DreamIt, the tree is for you From the beginning of my life, my parents encouraged exploring the world around me. I tried different religions and over the years learned, that while there are many religions, they basically say the same thing. I choose spiritually and oneness with nature rather than the structured sermons of the church services I attended in my youth. Education was emphasized since my mom was a teacher and my dad an officer. My early education was in private schools since I tested above the grade level in public school. My education was fundamental reading, writing, arithmetic. science and art until I went to college. My Dad had the greatest influence on my interests in science and math. In college I studied psychology & biology and wanted to be a doctor. While I was very smart, I really didn't want to continue 12 more years of school for a medical degree. I switched my major of study to business and focused on accounting. More soon. I hope you are enjoying Alphonse Mucha's art nouveau representation of my goddesses. His art nouveau is the epitome of feminine grace and beauty. I found a doll at a thrift shop. If you are following this diary, you will remember the Alphons Mucha Goddess and picture of my Grandmother in week 1. The doll I found looks like both. So coincidental. 😄 Thanks for visiting my Goddesses and friends. We appreciate the 🌱 love 😘. Hope you had a great week and took time to have fun 👍

🌌 Galactic Bloom – Auto Moon Rock Entering Her Final Orbit 🚀💫 Time flies, and here we are already in Week 8 with my beautiful Auto Moon Rock from Divine Seeds – now stepping into her fourth and penultimate week of bloom. 🌸 What a journey it has been so far! From the very beginning she’s shown herself to be a strong, resilient, and incredibly rewarding plant, and this week she continues to amaze me with her progress. The buds are swelling beautifully, stacking up tighter and frostier each day. Their density and aroma are reaching new heights – I’m experiencing terpene notes unlike anything I’ve grown before, absolutely unique and mesmerizing. The whole tent is filling with a fragrance that keeps me coming back just to breathe it in. One of the highlights this week is definitely the Growlapse video 🎥, where you can literally watch her day-by-day transformation. The footage captures how her colas are fattening up, pistils dancing under the light, and how she’s steadily pushing all her energy into flower production. A joy to watch and an even bigger joy to grow. 🌱 Feeding & Care This week I’ve kept things consistent and she’s been thriving under the same organic regimen as before: 🔸BioBizz Grow – 3 ml/L 🔸BioBizz Bloom – 2 ml/L 🔸BioBizz TopMax – 1 ml/L 🔸CalMag – 0.5 ml/L 🔸Dechlorinated water to keep the microbes happy No compost tea this round, just clean, balanced feeding. Her response has been fantastic, with lush green foliage and no signs of stress. ⚖️ Parameters & Environment 🔸EC: 2000 µS 🔸pH: 6.1 🔸VPD: 1.0 – 1.4 kPa The environment is dialed in perfectly, and she’s loving every bit of it. Strong light penetration, good airflow, and a stable climate are helping her buds reach their maximum potential. 🌬️💡 All in all, I can’t praise Divine Seeds enough – their Auto Moon Rock has been a rock-solid performer from the start. Despite being advertised as a strain not ideal for topping, she took training like a champ earlier on, and has rewarded me with a bushy structure that’s now turning into a canopy full of weighty, sparkling buds. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exotic terpene experience and a reliable autoflower with serious potential. 💎🌌 The end is in sight, and I couldn’t be more excited to see what the next (and final) weeks will bring. Harvest is creeping closer, and I have a feeling this one will be something truly special. 🙏✨

This auto ghost of is at day 21 and she has been growing like crazy since she broke the surface. She has the potential to be a real work of art if I can keep her happy. I upped the maxigro to .5 tsp per gallon and started them on a little armor si so they can build some strong branches. Still running them on 24 hour light and 24 hour irrigation. They are going to stay under the blurple lights for a few more weeks until I can get them in the big room under the quantum boards. I'm hoping they will flower around 4 weeks but my autos seem to enjoy staying in veg so we will see what happens.

Mexican Airlines is approaching cruising altitude!! LST has been working great so far IMO. The lower nodes that usually become the lower, less productive, branches are looking like main colas! I doing more LST on my new grows now too! Started feeding Fox Farm Big Bloom this week with Recharge.

- Day 1 week 2 flow: watered them with 1,5 L ph 6,4 to 6,5 following biobizz schedule. Growing big and tall right now. - Day 2 week 2 flow: just checking factors and controlling humidity and air flow - Day 3 week 2 flow: not much to do, checking the tent to watch them grow:) - Day 4 week 2 flow: watered them with 1,5 L ph 6,4 to 6,5 following biobizz schedule. Defoliation has been made and humidity is the biggest challenge. Small tent and difficult air flow. - Day 5 week 2 flow: had to adjust light height and change it to full power. The limits of my setup but it’s ok not planing to do something too big :) - Day 6 week 2 flow: beautiful girls, hairs are coming ou - Day 7 week 2 flow: watered them with 1,5 L ph 6,4 to 6,5 following biobizz schedule. They have grown a lot this week, love how they can just almost double their size in flow.

Week 9 (aka day 63) According to the strain report, today would of been the day of harvest (if perfectly grown) Since I am not a master grower, it appears she needs more time. ha She is coming along great though! Super frosty and the flowers along the stems are starting to pack on weight. According to other grow diaries I've read, the harvest day will probably be in one month 3/3/21 (12 weeks total) If you notice my tent is a bit crammed, that's the only thing that's not ideal lol I am watering every three days with 6.0 phd water with 1 tablespoon of molasses and 1 teaspoon of SuperNova mixed into a gallon or more of water. Please let me know if you have any suggestions/ questions/ concerns. I am getting excited about harvest day! It's not to far away :) Wish me luck in the end stretch! lol Happy Growing everyone

A week ago today I did some major defoliation. Somebody had looked at my pictures and said it look like a pile of leaves. She was right. I decided to open things up to let light on more bud sites. I went kind of nuts. But one week later and I think the plants look much better. Light gets down much deeper now. I have two King tuts one white widow and one Obi-Wan Kush. The 2 king Tutts are taking over my room. The white widow is 1/ third less the size. And the Obi-Wan Kush is turning into a runt. It’s hard to keep the king Tutts from shadowing out the other two smaller plants. I’ve tied some branches back with string to open things up some more. I’m starting to get impatient. I know I’ve got five or six weeks left. But I am sitting around the house, with the quarantine in effect. I grossly missjudged my weed consumption And I’m dry and looking at these plants. Come on May 15! That’s my potential target date.
