@twenty20mendocino Ateam R&D Update! This week went pretty great! The 4 photoperiods got their tops and bounced back real nicely! They will be getting topped again a couple more times but will give that another day , let’s take it day by day! The Sangria Auto is looking real nice, got her preflower going on an we just started her on flower feed on her an she is just lovin it at day 33 for all! Hope you all enjoy an have an amazing productive day! Cheers y’all 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨🤙🏻

Pft. Watch the video.

Gave her an almost MegaDose today. Since the last time I uploaded 12 days ago she was watered MegaDose of 80mL nutes in 2 gal of pure compost blend tea concentrate . After that she was given a half a gallon of regular water , followed by a half dose feeding of 40mL in 2 gallons upwards to today where I gave her 60mL in 1 gallon. Got 9 inches of growing left until shes filled the tent to the brim . 12 days ago there were 12 inches . I’ve included a Timelapse video I’ve been creating since July 22 until Aug 21.

After i topped the plant i didnt feed her right away. I let her recover. 06/05/2023 - Day 24 i finally watered the plant with nutrients. 07/05/2023 - This day has been awesome. At the end of the day i have noticed 2 new sprouts! One on top and other at the very bottom, below the coityledons! I will start LST soon so these new sprouts get light and start growing! I start to think it will be a challenge get this plants branches equally spread, but i´ll go for it anyway. 08/05/2023 - Day 26 i started with the LST. Just fixed main branch and bent it pointing to where the sun rises. This is very important when LST´ng outdoors. Always point your plants to where the sun rises so when she grows she points to the sunset. This week i added Alg-a-mic to help the plant recover from all the HST and LST. She seems to be fine and recovering fantastic. Will this be a monster Autoflower? ✌️

Aquí han pasado al interior, comienza la floración, día 26/08.

Day 99. All 3 girls down. Wet trim . Can't wait to try them out. Scissors hash was so sweet ... 1.6 kg for wet plant is not bad too I think. Plant A should be biggest in this grow from all strains ... She has to beat 202 g. of AD. Happy Growing !!!

Week 3 flowering. Buds are slowly forming, plants still going good, cold weather is hitting my area now, hope it won't last long, might extend flowering period by a couple days if it stays this cold.

All 12 are flowering now ! rolling through week 5 almost at the end of start of week 6 . This is for tangiematic , gg4, and sweet creme glueberry a few days behind . The hazes and others are 2 weeks behind And forgotten cookies stretching out nicely ! The frost level is amazing . Leaving. Also got a new kitten about 4 months old her name is dutchess loves being in the tent smelling each plant truly amazing :)! Little update by the end of week 5 !

Bin maximal gespannt was diese Test Strain zu bieten hat! Vom Ertrag schon mal maximal zufrieden bisher! 🔥

8.30 LST preformed - stabilized main stalk and bent plant to 90* Watered 300ml PHed to 6.4 w/ 4-5 drops of CalMag Broke Lower branch during LST, taped in hopes it repairs its self Noticed strange growth of new leaves, amused to be oddity from genetics or from topping 4.5" tall after LST with 3 mains 8.31 LST 9.01 LST Watered ~14 oz. w/ .2 g Recharge and 4-5 drops of CalMag 9.02 LST 9.03 LST

´ Week 21 Finishing August, 23 degrees with some rainy and windy conditions during ten days; after that start a new heat waves (38 degrees tomorrow) with sunny days. The whole summer was like this: no really regular conditions. But it’s a pretty good test for finding a way to grow without any electricity during 6 month: preying to get a good harvest in quantity and quality. One of the lessons When you grow in Europe, west coast around 46°N, near ocean is to have an Indoor shelter to preserve from weather irregularity’s (rubbery and cops). There’s good year giving good fine vintage, bad year and poor harvest. To have a reasonable harvest: shelter is better! Daylight 13h - 7h30/20h30 (-3 minutes) Plant is changing to the final morphology. Flowering since around 3 weeks: we needs almost 7 weeks more before the harvest question. I was doubtful about the flowers size, but I compared to the last year diary and note that the evolution of plants were similar. Middle to end October will be probably the harvesting period: It’s because Indica dominant or low Sativa genetic is a reasonable option when selecting the outdoor strain. Normal flowering development for this pretty big plant (did the topping too late) good, easy resistant and satisfying strain for outdoor .lot of flowering sites, always vigorous without stagnation along the different and successive stages. I will certainly test it later indoor with LST🌱🌞Amesia Seeds 🏆make really serious products. No really smell for now. Some Thrips around (white points on leaves) but not more. 💦 Sprayed Neem Oil, I will restart soon or with soap… Problem of air circulation during heat or humidity episodes = pests The plant is not totally healthy but initiate the flowering stage normally; next day will be interesting and crucial. I suspected some deficiency signs on some leaves; nitrogen or phosphorus… not sure… Whatever I put some palm tree ashes and sprayed the plant with a FishMix solution Feeding the plant with Canna Terra Flores (easy when you’re busy) Watering every 72h 1,2 L- ph <= 6.5 - Rain Water + Cannazym - Calmag + Terra Flores (2mL) + Cannazym x 3 - FishMix + BioHeaven + Humic/Fulvic

Day 63 - 28 of Flower Changes this week include adding a 4th Maxibright 315w lamp and Agro bulb. I wanted to run 4 but originally could only afford to buy 3. These retail at £250 each per kit so theres now £1000 just in lighting. A huge improvement to overall light spread around the plants and more light penetrating the canopy to the lower bud sights. I've also spent the weekend insulating my space for 2 reasons. Obviously temperature fluctuations being one. I found the temps were anywhere between 17 and 31 degrees throughout a 24 hour cycle and wanted to get a more consistent day and night temperature. With the extra light it needs to be cooler too. 2nd reason was humidity. With the great British weather being as damp as it is the night time humidity has been over 75% some days which now we are deep into flower could quickly lead to bud rot. Insulating the space and running my exterior AC unit has now got that figure to below 56% at all times. I'm very happy with that. Feeding ratio remains unchanged this week. I'm going to continue running the PK13/14 for at least another 7 days or untill the buds finish fattening out. Still feeding 6 litres every other day. No further training at this point just pulling a few colas out of the way of the fan and one main cola from directly under a lamp as it was burning. Also stretch has now finished which is a massive relief as I've no headspace left in the tent at all. I didn't have time to take many photos of the buds in the dark but the ones I have put on show just how frosty these stardawgs get! Really living up to their name considering they are only half way through predicted flower time. The only further upgrade I would like at this point is a proper co2 with digital regulator. I have however read that they dont benefit much from extra co2 from this point onwards?? What is everyone's thoughts on that? Obviously I have my natural co2 generator and will leave it in untill the end of the grow. I realise I really underestimated the size of these plants and 6 sativa dominant species is a stupid idea. The tent is just too packed so on the next run I'll opt for less and go with a scrog. Thanks for checking in! I cant wait to see how the next week plays out.

Week #14 GSC By Kannabia seeds Week #14 GSC week #3 Flower This week she continues to flower her buds are dense and tight she getting nice trichome coverage.

D71. Week five of flower and the girls are simply doing their thing. I scouted the plants today and found thrips on the second girl. I was hoping the lacewings would have gotten them all by now, but no such luck. I'll give them a week before ordering another batch. For some reason, the thrips avoid the first girl. Visually, there's also a clear difference between the two girls, with the first girl being darker and having more buds. ------------------------------ D73. I brewed a short (6 hours) compost tea today consisting of worm castings, kelp meal, neem meal, humic and fulvic acid, rock dust, biochar, and molasses. After the brew, I added homemade Bokashi juice, which lowered the pH of the tea to 6.6. Each girl got 2.5 liters of tea (5% of pot volume.) I also did another light round of defoliation, down low on the plants. ------------------------------ D75. Each girl got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.5, with 5 ml of FFJ. The plants stretched SO MUCH after flipping them into flower that it's challenging for the light to penetrate the canopy, and it's pretty dark further down. I bought some LED grow light strips and installed them in the tent to provide additional side lighting. It's only 36 W of extra lighting, but I hope it will help to develop the numerous buds down low. I put the lights on the left side of the tent, around the first girl, since she has a lot more buds, but now that it looks like the concept works, I might get another set of lights for the right side of the tent. ------------------------------ D77. We've reached the end of the fifth week of flower, and all is well in the tent. Ahem, almost all since I still have the thrips to contend with, BUT I just put a bunch of Cucumeris predatory mites in the tent, so the war rages on. A friend suggested adding white cloth below the plants to reflect more light toward the lower buds. Sounds plausible, but I didn't have any fabric, so I went all ghetto by simply putting strips of kitchen paper on top of the scrog net. Not the most fantastic reflector material ever, but it's what I had at hand. Plus, it's easy to work with and costs next to nothing. I doubt it will make a big difference, but even a slight increase is still an increase, and I could see a visible difference in the amount of light hitting the lower canopy. Finally, each plant got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.3, with FFJ and Bokashi Juice. ------------------------------

cloudy week she looks healthy but slow ... the temperature has dropped ... I think she will be even slower outdoor ...

Guys it's been fun

5/07/24 day 15 I was worried with how small she is, I started her a little early for outdoor so she hasn’t been getting proper lighting but she’s not too far behind other plants at this age. Hopefully she’s set her roots deep and is ready to grow upwards 5/11 she’s loves the sun so much. I was worried about her but she’s gonna be fine 🌱 5/12/24 I gave her a tsp of Terp Tea Grow 711. This last week she had grown very well, she has 3 nodes total and is working on more

It's starting to get better without stopping. After changing the soil in the middle of the pot to peach moss.

Boom
