30-06-2020 defoliation preparation for flowering . Today i defoliate and clean them up good. looking for just toops. Any tips or comments are aprecviated and i will respond asap. Stay safe , Peace out D

Being away over the new years I was unable to tend to the ladies. However, we received an update from friend

the residues of a rainy spring are revealed and after two days of light rain the girls responded differently while those in the smallest containers matured the largest exploded apart from a few small cuts of broken branches and an apex with little botrytis I differentiated disinfected and carefully selected always washing the pruning shears with simple water, the skywalker is beautifully cooked think I put some dried buds in the shed in toilet paper 5 days in the shed in the heat made it take effect !!😱 imagine when this tanning 6 months! I am happy with the results and I moved the plants to the GRILL!! top candy phase in massive quantities at the beginning of the week and also the last time I use it after a week no water. yes .. I hope to resist .. the gorilla glues are bad one is becoming almost perfect but I wish they would light up the trichomes they taste like candy my hands are a symphony of perfumes , even the lemon ak are incredible !! excellent seed I think I'll do it again indoors. compactness structure color UNIQUE flavor the ample bud of the critical orange punch is MONSTER as well as being double having pruned in preFLOW, I had the idea that the orange bud had surprised me that's how it was she's an alien goddess pure milky.😍

Lot if work done this week! set up the trellising for #1, defoliated and trained her up nicely. She’ll grow into the trellising in the coming 2-3 weeks. I’m expecting stretch too start soon enough, in a week or 2. Defoliating #2&3 tomorrow. Cheers!

Really happy to harvest this girl. Made sure I pushed her to the max. Just about 70 days. She was done around 65. 14hrs into pre fower and beyond. I find that with High ppf with less hrs. Makes for much better phenos. Really happy to say. This is SUCH A 100% TOP strain. And it'll be 500% a auto that I'll repeat Mind you I've hardly ever repeated any strains. Except mimosa X orange punch auto and super lemon haze. And a few CBDs. So, if anything that should speak volumes to me saying this is a tip top strain. Going to run her with one of their new autos, apple strudel is meant to have very high terps. All about the taste. And this Apricot Auto from Fastbuds has this in spades.

Time to start the flushing

I was going to upload the process, but the wiser side of me said no. So I've edited it out and some of the evaporation process can be seen. Bho/wax/honey whatever we care to call it

last week?

Had few issues this week with slugs and rabbits in this new spot. It’s shot up since she got put in ground, gave her a good feed with grow and plants of water as we’ve had good 2 weeks without rain so ground was bone dry. See how this week goes, if good growth and not been attacked will start to train her out abit. All for this week happy growing 🌱

Week 4

So after my 29th April update last week, I have only given ph’d water, I do have some nutrient burn but hoping that I can sort this out over the next few days, it’s my 1st issue I’ve had but my own doing due to giving too many nutrients as not reading properly. In a way am pleased because I won’t be making that mistake again. I did take a couple of huge fan leaves off that I considered “light blocking” on day 18 and she seems to have recovered well. Other than that it has been a good week.

Day 10 Of 12-12, defoliated 75% of canopy will leave untouched until day 21 Flower. Running 1250 ppms of cropsalts, light dimmed to 75% @15-18” of canopy

Only fed the bigger plant #2 . The first is getting cloudy just waiting for her to go alil further . Will update more this week but their getting closer.

She's very close, great smell. Fade is coming in hard, getting lots of purple in the top 3 colas.

Getting caught up, had shoulder surgery 2 weeks ago. These girls are on week 7. Having to feed every other day, pots are light as a feather. So light, that I'm certain they are dead. You can see I topped the auto baby plant the other day. From my experience, I've had zero issues topping, or other high stress training with autoflowers, at all. Knock on wood. That pic was taken 2 days after she was topped. From my (limited) experience with autoflowers, I wait until the day I need to water my plants: do any HST, then water/feed. I really let my fabric pots completely dry out, so the plants seem to be so desperately hungry, they don't seem to notice that I topped or supercropped or broke a bud site, or.....anything, while they were eating! Apparently food and water distract' s them. Pulled my light up a couple inches because, taco leaf. This Ceramic MH light is great. Still under 24/0 light. No problems with temp or humidity. Keeping pH levels between 6.0-6.3 with Oregan's Only. Colas fattening up! Approximately 8-9 inches around. So pretty! Smell is not overwhelming. BUT no more crappy ipower carbon filter, it is crap. I'll get another brand for next grow. I live in a legal state, but don't want my house smelling like weed lol. I prefer to buy items that are Made in America. Any suggestions for carbon filters are welcome. I hope everyone is having a good week growing!!

Week 8 D1 First day NO NUTES day for my garden . They got a bit more than a liter of water each with a bit more run off than usual.. That’s it . I personally don’t over acting with flushing liters of water through my medium . Just a bit more plain pHed water than normal . 💦 Buds are getting weight and already thinking how I could support some of them if needed during those two last weeks. Buds are super dense in both phenotypes . Pheno 1 , the more stretchy one, turns yellow-deep purplish 😅 color on the leaves and on some calyxes . 🔥🍁 Pheno 2 , I really can’t say anything about it , I’m amazed with the structure of the plant and of those dense AF and thick heavy Buds ...ITS THE ONE I GERMINATED LAST ONE ☝️ her monstercroped clones still in rooting dome and wish I see some roots soon , I really want this Pheno alive ✌️✌️ D4 Plants swelling nicely and they full of trichomes Couldn’t resist touching them a bit to feel the density , rock hard and sticky AF 👌 Small video update from my garden tonight , take a look at that frost guys , can’t wait to smoke those beauties 🌺🖤 D5 Got some Macro shots again with that phone lens , good enough to notice some of the trichomes colors . Getting amber , mostly cloudy but still some new clear ones 👌 Seems like there gonna be ready till the end of next week , W9

This girl is purpling out I guess because of the weather. She a beauty and she has seeds from the male Durban Skunk…these should be some amazing seeds I await her taste when she is ripe.
