📆 Week 1, 6-12 May 2024 6 May - 3rd sprout appeared. Waiting for main root to appear before transferring. 8 May - Main root appeared on the 1st sprout, transferred to its permanent home (see pictures). 9-12 May - Observed and watched the seedling grow. 📑 Transferred seedling into permanent Deep Water Culture, 2 gallon system. I’ve always had the best response when the main tap root appears prior to this process, it helps to ensure success. This plant seems to be getting off to a slower start, but steady. All seeds germinated, sprouted and became seedlings. I’ll be finding homes for the other 2 as my grows are limited by space and number. Another reason I like to only germinate a single seed at a time and primarily why it needs be viable. “One good seed is all you need”. 🍶 8 May initial nutrient solution started 🍽️ 8 May initial feeding schedule started 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient solution EC 1.0 at 72 degrees F 🔆 Light power at 50%, DLI 12-15 canopy coverage at 18hrs 😤 Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Top leaves are turning yellow probably due to excess light and heat. Temperatures are very high above 30oC in southeastern Brazil. I increased the lighting distance 30cm from the top. QB LM301H 120W

Die Lemon Cherry Cookies entwickelt sich weiterhin sehr gut unter freiem Himmel. Die letzten sonnigen Tage haben für ordentlich Wachstum gesorgt und die Pflanzen zeigen eine gesunde grüne Farbe sowie kräftiges neues Wachstum. Besonders erfreulich ist die gute Vitalität aller drei Exemplare, obwohl sich bereits leichte Unterschiede im Wuchsbild zeigen. Während eine Pflanze etwas kompakter und buschiger wächst, zeigen die anderen beiden einen stärkeren Stretch. Das ist bei Autoflower-Genetik völlig normal und verleiht jeder Pflanze ihren eigenen Charakter. Die Stämme sind aktuell noch etwas schlank, werden aber mit zunehmendem Alter und etwas Wind deutlich an Stabilität gewinnen. Die kommende Woche dürfte entscheidend werden, da nun die Phase beginnt, in der sich die Seitentriebe stärker entwickeln und die Pflanzen langsam ihre spätere Struktur aufbauen. Insgesamt bin ich mit der Entwicklung sehr zufrieden und freue mich darauf zu sehen, welche der drei Damen sich am Ende als Favoritin herausstellen wird. 🌱 Jeden Sonntag gibt es neue Updates auf meinem GrowDiaries-Profil! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Lemon Cherry Cookies continues to perform very well outdoors. The recent sunny weather has encouraged strong growth, and all three plants are showing healthy green color and vigorous new development. It's great to see such strong vitality across all three individuals. Some phenotypic variation is already becoming visible. One plant is growing more compact and bushy, while the other two show a bit more stretch. This is completely normal with autoflower genetics and gives each plant its own unique character. The stems are still relatively slender at this stage but should strengthen significantly over the coming weeks thanks to outdoor conditions and natural airflow. The next week will be particularly exciting as side branching begins to accelerate and the plants start forming their overall structure. Overall, I am very happy with their progress and can't wait to see which of these ladies becomes the standout performer. 🌱 New updates are posted every Sunday on my GrowDiaries profile!

Hello guys, I fixed my RH problems. I now water them 1,5L every 2-3 days, the Shimos seems to still be thristy ! I did a light defoliation, then flipped into 12/12 after 32 days of vegetative stage. This will be interesting 😍 Have a nice day, see ya next week !

Time to harvest the Gelato. In this run, it turned out to be one of the best-performing strains. The main cola is rock hard and super dense, with the branches bending under the weight. Now it’s time to dry it and see what the final result will be. Cheers!

Candyman is now 108 days old and on day 58 of flower! Well the flush has began and I'm aiming for 7-10 days of pure tap water. Pheno 1 still looks couple of weeks so don't think will be at its best due to no drying room 😭 pheno 2 is ready for the chop but still needs flushing. Pheno 3 just looks perfect 😍 to me anyway 🤣

Last WEEK of FLUSH

During this whole grow I would say she was my favorite. She has the fruit funk flora nose and just beautiful bag appeal. Her coals were a lot smaller than the other girls but she was bigger and yeild was similar. I got about 3 zips off of her. I would definitely recommend her

Giorno 49 Ultimi giorni di vegetativa poi giro e faccio una leggera defogliazione. A settimana prossima 💪🤞

I just added weeks 5 and 6 into one week because I didn't really have time to post last week. There seems to be a problem with my plants that I can't quite figure out. The only commonality that I changed with both plants since the last grow is the microbe Inoculant that I bought from NPK. The Black Afghan that I harvested back in November didn't have these microbes added to the soil and it grew into a monster. I am beginning to wonder if these microbes are stealing food from my plant. Even though these microbes are sold as "flowering" microbes. I'm beginning to think they are starving my plants. Also, I am technically 7 weeks from the flip to 12/12. So I may just be at the end of the flower period for these plants. I checked the Tricomes and they are mostly cloudy with about 5-10% amber. Normally at this point I would be cutting out the nutrients and letting her consume her leaves. However, she has already started to so that and now I don't know what to do. I just don't know. So... lesson learned. Stick to the basic nutes and stop trying to make this job harder than it needs to be. KISS

06/15: The ladies have started pre-flowering. They’re also growing in size. Annie has a height of 13”, soil to top leaves. She has a diameter of about 22”, which means I probably can’t fit more than three five gallons in my grow tent. I lowered the light to 12” in hopes of keeping her from getting too tall. Gave water in the afternoon. It was a day and a half since last watering. The five-gallon girls took in over 2000mL. I spotted to one worm in Alexis’s runoff and two in Annie’s. None in Aaliyah’s. I did notice that the bugs have no brown/black heads and also have a clitellum, which are characteristics not found in fungus gnat larvae. The plants look great as of now, but I’m going to keep a close eye on them for any changes. 06/18: Gave the ladies another watering. I didn’t see any pests, so I think we’re in the clear. I’ve been sticking to about a day and half between watering with about 1000μS. The salt in the runoff is a little higher than I would like it, but it’s nothing too crazy. Annie has a leaf or two with burnt tips, so I’m going to keep an eye on her. Both Annie and Aaliyah are about 15” high, but Annie has more of a curve on her main stem and is bushier. Her main stem is the same height as the other ones. The LST allowed Aaliyah to get light on her sides, but her main stem quickly grew back up and surpassed the others. Since the plants are going into flowering I want to avoid training them any further and just let them be. I also switched on the red light, but kept them blue. I read somewhere that this will allow the plants to get enough red light to help with the flowering, but still keep them a bit short because of the blue. I have enough space in the tent to allow the plants to double in height, but not much more after that.

next time i have to veg more then 4 weeks to increase yield. it finishes quickly and big yield for the short veg time. im also very happy with the optic 4 wich made the buds dense from top to bottom. i might upgrade to cocos or hydro next grow, or maybe both ;)

These plants are getting so frosty, and so smelly! The Terps are the most unique blend of Terps I have ever smelled, and I cannot say I expected it! Terps reek into the whole room, of strong Cherry Berry Wine, a deep ripe/nearly rotten cherry funk, with a background of that Superboof Orange Rinds, and Blue Moon IPA/Hop Terps, with a very slight hints of gassiness but that might be just the orange funk from the Superboof. Some buds are light and airy, not quite like a super silver haze or a NYC Piff kinda light and airy. It's a nice middle ground and looks as if it's gonna wash well! Some buds specifically the ones getting the strongest light, are a bit more dense. Beautiful strcuture,.spear shaped nugs with wacky formations, almost cactus like ! Haven't seen any foxtailing but almost seems as if it might as some point! Color is bright green! Which it's still a bit too early to tell if it's gonna turn purple but according to pictures that the breeder has posted of 2 diff phenos , one being completely purple and the other with a greyish green with spots of purple color! So I look forward to seeing how it looks! This Pheno has a completely different structure then the 2 Homegrown Genetics posted! Super stable for having such different genetic variation !

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!! We have had some crazy cold weather here the last 4 days and for the first time in 13 years had snow on Christmas day. So with the cold and snow came grow room issues. My grow space is outside and not attached to the house so maintaining a proper temperature and humidity has been a bit on the difficult side. Even with the lights running 24 hours, it's had a few drops down to 19c and the humidity has gone up to 68% a few times. Now luckly I'm still in veg and the humidity isn't a issue yet but the temperature has been making me worried. Going to put togther a heater with its own temperature switch increase it drops below 20c. Did some training over the last week with some LST and FIMing. With the LST every 3nd day I've been adjusting them and pulling the plants back a bit more and more. Since I don't think I'll be able to set up a SCRog net this go around (spent to much for Christmas and wont be able to affordthe PVC tubing) ive got to figure out something else and fast. Plants are getting big and it's going to get hard to bend then properly without braking stuff. Because I was showing some issues with 2 of my plants I started adding a bit of Revive to my res to see if they get better and they have. But because of the cold that's been hitting us my tank has had a hard time staying warm. Even with my 50w tank heater it's been fighting a up hill battle because the area outside the main room where the tank is, has been sitting around 14-17c. So with that the air pump I use to circulate the tank, it is pulling in cold air and thats been fighting the tank heater in getting it up to what I like it at. I tried using my water pump instead of the air pump for circulation and the res went up to 25.6c soooo I would much rather have 19c res then water that could kill my plants. So let's talk about the plants themselves. Both Special Queen plants are doing great but as you can see from the picture, one is doing absolutely amazing. Great growth (understatement) and has bounced back from training like a pro. The other plant is still doing really good when compared to all the other plants in the room but still could be a little bit better. Depending on what I'm going to do for supporting the plants this might be the last week of veg. Well see. So the plants are finally starting to bounce back from there issues. The one on the left is starring to increase its growth by a lot. It's been growing rapidly over the last week. And the one on the rightbhas stopped yellowing and curling. Idk if the Revive by advanced nutrients is helping or if the plant just grow out of there issues but either way I'm happy. There still not perfect but there better then they were. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!
