Welcome to Week 8 of flower...... The plants have developed a more sour lemon scent. Which is pretty lovely to the nose. Both plants have really nice dense thick buds. Plant 1 is starting to show signs of fall colours. She has always had are lime green colour to her upper leaves. Now a beautiful red colour is appearing on the edges of leaves. Plant 2 the main colas have become so heavy that they are all leaning over. I've started introducing a bit of drought stress. Holding back between waterings. I'm hoping by doing this it will help to kick the girls into overdrive and start using stored sugars. It's seems to be working on plant 1 as the leaves are starting to yellow.

Still going fine for the moment, gonna start to add nutrient on week 3. End of week and they're growing very well, even if the GSC goes faster than the Blue Cheese

Heyoo Seid dem 24. September kann man sehen wie sie in die blühte geht. Denkt ihr sie schafft es noch? Und wie lange wird sie noch brauchen? Helft mir bitte in den Kommentaren... Danke im Voraus LG Jan

Привет садоводы Runtz полностью поспел и выглядит превосходно запах вообще улет - сладковатый бутоны очень твердые и увесистые жду дегустации с нетерпением Barneys -Respect

This was my first grow and I did a bunch of research but I mostly figured it out as I went and I really enjoyed this strain. It was very resistant and took about 90-92 days from germination to harvest. The strain seemed to bounce back extremely well even after a heavy trimming. Did not really run into any health issues with the strain other than what I diagnosed as Leaf Septoria which is caused from to much humidity and not enough circulation. But overall will grow again and was very accurately advertised by Canuk Seeds. Ended up with 256grams from this grow which I was pleasantly surprised with. Saved all the shake and made Cannabutter and Bubble Hash. Both turned out okay but with room for improvement in the future.

My Purple Star Killer girl looks great. I am doing a lot of LST to try to keep her spread out and not get too tall. She's drinking 5 gallons a day now and I think I'll have move that up to 10 gallons soon.

04/09 - Started minor defoliation. Shes getting too bushy and blocking bud sites and causing moisture spots. Will remove a couple of leaves every other day for the next week. 05/09 - Full res change. Realised I mucked up the ratio. Went 35ml Micro, 25ml grow, (Shouldve been the other way around, so added an extra 10ml grow), 15ml Bloom and 15ml Silica. EC 1.4, PH 5.7. Will keep an eye on her and add some additional grow if she does alright. 06/09 - Minor defoliation. Removed about 12 leaves total so far. LST to spread the canopy a little more. PH stable at 5.8, EC at 1.4, Water level dropping. Seems to be stretching and pistils have begun to form! Responding well to the uptick in nutes from the res change. 07/09 - Leaf tucking, LST and took a leaf or two. Shes getting her stretch on for sure. PH stable at 5.8, EC stable at 1.4. Water level still dropping. 09/09 - After much deliberation, I ended up going for a fairly heavy defoliation session and am now going to leave her the hell alone until at least mid flower. I removed a large chunk of shaded leaves and bud sites and effectively ended up lollipopping her. I also removed all the old LST, and added a couple to pull leaves out of the way. The canopy remains largely unchanged, but shes much more airy now, and Im seeing far fewer damp spots where leaf perspiration has occured. Now to see if I can keep my hands off for a few weeks!

Beautiful take off from these ladies with the Wedding Cake Roots already touching water!

White widow auto only gave about 25g but basically all of perfect nugs. Anti auto people could be converted from her, I contend. Big blast of berry taste, giggly, lifted effects. Very frosty, plump nugs. Special Queen yiekded easily 3 and a half ounces and her look is great. So far the tsste isnt what white widow is, might lift with curing. Using grove bags.

welcome everyone to my Strawberry Tent GrowOFF I will be showcaseing 6 diffrent starberry autoflowers from 6 diffrent breeders, we will see what ones win the superfichal awards of: Best In Tent, Best Smell, Best Buds, Best Yeild, Best Taste, Best Form and Best High. 6 plants and 7 awards, I have a feeling some of the strains may take 2 or 3 of the awards and a few of them may not make it to fruition. The tests will be blind and then matched to a key at the end to find out who is who to avoid as much bias as I can given that I some of my firends will be the sole judges for most of these catagories. + [Best In Tent] = Over all best plant in the tent. + [Best Smell] = The best smelling plant based of my sences fresh & cured will be raited + [Best Buds] = The best looking buds visually, colour, density and frost will be raited + [Best Yeild] = The heavyist yeilder of them all, total grams/OZ will be raited + [Best Taste] = The tastyist tasteing buds, peronsal prefrence based on the gunipigs I outsouce to smoke/vape the buds. + [Best Form] = The best growth pattern and form out of the plants, nothing to strechy or compact. + [Best High] = The best feeling buds from getting stoned, peronsal prefrence based on the gunipigs I outsouce to smoke/vape the buds. I would like to extend a big thank you for all the sponsors of this grow. From Lighting to Nutrients to the Seeds themselfs. #1 Medic Grow LED Lights, I will be useing 2x 240w MiniSun2's dimmed to aorund 60-80% at peak flower. https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow #2 Metrop Nutrients, They have sent me a starter pack that I will use to grow these ladies out. https://metrop.net/ https://metrop.store/products/startbox #3 all the brands who donated to the cause, in no pictular order: Exotic Seeds, Pure Instinto, Seedsman, Original Sensible Seeds, Fastbuds & *Barneys farm* **indacate the seed was gifted to me from another grower and the breeder did not choose to partiscapte in this growOFF but are part of it anyway. https://www.exoticseed.eu/products/strawberry-cola-auto https://pureinstinto.com/product/strawberry-shortcake-autoflower-cannabis-seeds/ https://www.seedsman.com/us-en/strawberry-cheesecake-auto-feminised-seeds-sman-strchcake-auto-fem https://originalsensible.com/original-sensible-seeds-strawberry-pie-auto~22096 https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/strawberry-pie-auto https://www.barneysfarm.com/strawberry-cheesecake-auto-569 I will be growing these in a coir/perlite medium with liquid hydrophonic nutrients. The pot size will be 2 Gal each for 12Gal total medium in a 2x4 tent under a potentinla maxium of 480W via the 2x Medic Grow Mini Sun 2's LED Lights. Germination methyod will be the same, soaking seeds in water then into the final pots medium. They will be getting a 18/6 light scheulde from start to finish and a PH of between 6.2-6.5 for the entire grow. I will be useing some root incolulents to help the plants form a strong and healty realnship with the medium. From what I can tell this should go smoothly without many issues. I have a few good friedns on here who only grow in hydro so if I run into any issues I am going to hit them up and learn some new things. Good Luck to all the brands competeing. I will host a question poll to see who thinks what one will susceed the most. and Maybe open it to eveyone to help rate the best looking buds catgory. One thing to note is I am mixing all my nutrients into a massive pail that is about 2Gal and I mix it till it hits a desired EC point, so the measurements of ml/l is a bit of a guesstimate. I know its in the ruff ball park area of what I added but it could be off by a bit. m0use

Certainly last week of growth, NL is short and made of large and beautiful intense green leaves well formed. This week I stop the Start Booster. Light fragrance of greenery.

D22 - It is the 6th day of planting in soil and the change is amazing. She grows very fast. Topping: I pinched the plant above the 5th node to mail-line the plant in future. D24 - After the topping, I gave two days to her to recover herself. I want to have two main branches. To achieve this, I removed 4 new emerging stems and left only 2 stems in the middle. For those stems to get more light (and grow more), I removed the top two leaves, too. I watered her, sprayed and left her to rest. Watering schedule decreased to 1 in 2 days which I interpret as she will need a pot change within a week. D27 - I change the pot to 11-litre regular pot. Her growth was stalled due to topping, but I hope she will recover quickly after changing the pot. I always put Bat Guano to the soil when I change the pot. Powder Bat Guano 100% dissolve in the soil after 10 weeks and it coincides with the mid/late flowering when she is growing vigorously. It is fertilizing the plant even after the flush with. I flushed the whole pot to merge soil with the plant.

Love the way the flowers are pumping

This is the gift that keeps on giving. 14 weeks and I'm not sure whether to take her to the guillotine.

🌸 Sundae Driver — Week 9 Flower / Week 12 From Seed When the plant decides it’s time… you listen! Another beautiful, crazy, unforgettable week in our Sundae Driver adventure! The tent has been full of aromas, colors, and emotions — and this week brought a little surprise twist. Our Pheno #2, the bold one, the heavy one, decided she couldn’t hold her own weight anymore and literally bowed to gravity. When I arrived, half of her was on the ground, saying: “It’s time, my friend. Harvest me.” And honestly, she was right. Perfect trichomes, perfect colors — it was exactly her moment. So, we harvested her with love, laughter, and respect. Sometimes, nature tells you what to do, and all you can do is listen. We didn’t dry her whole as we usually do — since she broke herself in half, we had to go with a different approach this time. A reminder that every grow has its own personality and surprises. We took it as part of the adventure and had a good laugh about it — because in the end, that’s what growing is: learning, adapting, and enjoying every step. Meanwhile, her sister Pheno #3 is still standing tall and absolutely shining. She’s thriving under the LUMATEK, with her buds swelling beautifully, trichomes sparkling like sugar dust, and her structure holding strong (for now!). 🌱 Nutrients & Environment This week we’re keeping the mix balanced — still using the Plagron PowerBuds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation, together with Aptus Regulator and CalMag Boost. Our pH sits nicely around 6.1, EC around 0.7, and the soil is still rich enough to carry the girls through these final stages. Temperatures hover around 28°C, humidity slightly high at 60+, but both phenos have been adapting beautifully. 🌿 About the Harvest For Pheno #2 — the early harvest wasn’t planned, but it turned out perfect. The trichomes were milky with just a few ambers, the aroma intense, and the density incredible. This shows that sometimes the plants truly know best. Her colas were so heavy they couldn’t stand anymore — that’s a good problem to have! 💪 Super Crop & Structure The earlier super crop training clearly paid off — the buds on the bent tops were some of the thickest and frostiest of all. It’s beautiful to see how resilience leads to strength; those stress points turned into power centers for growth. 🧠 What to Expect & What Not to Expect • Expect Pheno #3 to keep maturing beautifully over the next week or two — trichomes are developing wonderfully, and aromas are getting more complex by the day. • Don’t expect her to rush. She’s taking her sweet time, and that’s perfectly fine — every flower deserves her full moment. • Expect me to keep double-checking the branches — after what happened with #2, I’m making sure no more girls decide to “self-harvest” behind my back. 😂 💬 P.S. — About Holding the Weight For those reading this — always support your branches properly during late flower! When the buds get heavy (and believe me, they will), the stems can only handle so much. It’s always better to tie, stake, or net them before nature makes the decision for you. Trust me, it’s a funny story after the fact… but quite the shock when you find half your plant bowing to the floor. 💬 P.P.S. — About Super Cropping & Experimentation For anyone afraid to try new techniques — this is living proof that super cropping works beautifully and that plants are incredibly resilient. Don’t be afraid to experiment, to bend, to learn, and to adapt. Each grow is a new journey, and your plants will always reward your courage with lessons and beauty. 💚 Final Words & Gratitude As always, I want to send a massive thank-you to everyone following this journey — the readers, growers, dreamers, learners, and friends who stop by the diary. Your presence, comments, and good vibes make this all worthwhile.

2020-07-24 (Day 129) This girl and her Bruce Banner sister have cow manure mixed in and this is the first week I’ve added nutes. Leaves weren’t yellowing but I felt that overall the plants were pale throughout, especially compared to her clone. From here on out I’m more or less letting her do her thing. I’ll likely have to add supports once she starts bulking up with flowers. I’ll also have to move her and her BB3 sister in my yard once flowering initiates as the sun will be blocked more by my hedges come that time. I’ve added a picture of her beside her untrained clone in a two gallon pot. This clone leads me to believe that left untrained this thing would grow into a massive tree! It’s been sunny and warm with little rain, so far knock on wood an amazing summer for growing outdoor. Stay tuned, flowering is just around the corner!

Started today second week (20/05). Very pleased with how it grew the first week. The plant appears healthy despite the excessive lengthening that caused its release due to the too much weight of the leaves. Although it has a fan pointing at it, I still expect it to reinforce the stem to remove the support. Update: Very strong stem. 20/05: Root Complex (3.5ml/700ml) + TNT Complex (3.5ml/700ml) --> Final EC 625 24/05: Root Complex (3.5ml/700ml) + TNT Complex (1ml/700ml) --> Final EC 325 27/05: Coming home after two days i found my baby plant that now isn't just a baby! Beautiful and strong! I've noticed only a small spot in a leaf, highlighted in the video; and a strange skin around the stem, highlighted in the other video.

As flores já estão resinado e por se tratar da segunda semana, considero que a evolução está a cima da média aqui na minha realidade. O plano de nutrição segue o mesmo, porem percebi que ela reagiu de forma mais expressiva com a adição de Cálcio e Magnésio.
