great!!

Tagliato apicali

This week went pretty good! I did some light defoliation, and I also had to tie up some colas for support, as they started drooping towards the floor as the buds begin to bulk up finally. I believe I have another week or two at most for them to bulk, then it will be time to flush. The pictures really do not show how this pig is taking over my little 4x4. I never thought one auto could damn near fill a 4X4, but little miss piggy is trying. The more I feed this hog, the hungrier she gets. I also started feeding her some PK booster last week. I believe my plan to rotate these autos will work out well, as there is absolutely no way I could fit 4 autos in my tent at once nearing the end of flower. I am very excited to see what this lady can do in the next few weeks! Thank you for stopping by, and all the encouragement and support! I appreciate it! Be safe, stay well, and Blaze On!!!

Esta semana he empezado a regar solo con agua en teoría las plantas son de 55-60 días aproximadamente y el día 19 cumplen 60 días.. aunque los tricomas están 50% blancos y 50% transparentes espero que maduren un poco más durante esta semana por que ya tienen bastantes signos de carencia en las hojas que les quedan por que se le han caído bastantes también

A great week. Included a diagram so you can better tell which plant is which. I will be changing that up come flower to better fit the plants so I'll label them later as well. Gonna flip to flower I believe to try and save space. Gonna be tight but wasn't planning that this time. I got some BT var israelensis or something close to that for the fungus gnats thanks to @resimax and will test that. Lastly, you might catch a glance at the upcoming diary...

Final Results & Conclusions – Harvest, Drying & Curing The grow is finally complete, and it’s time to look at the results. The main goal of this experiment was to compare natural growth vs LST on autoflowering plants, while also documenting two different trimming/drying approaches. Final Dry Weight Sour Jealousy Auto * LST: 44.9 g * Natural: 62.9 g Banana Purple Punch Auto * LST: 36.1 g * Natural: 51.6 g The results were surprisingly consistent across both strains. The naturally grown plants produced approximately 41% more flower than the LST plants on average, or, looking at it from the other direction, the LST plants produced around 29% less than their naturally grown counterparts. This suggests that, at least in this small experiment, LST did not provide a yield advantage with these autoflowers. In fact, the naturally grown plants produced considerably more. However, there are some important limitations. The sample size is extremely small, with only two plants per growing method. Individual phenotype and environmental variation can therefore have a significant impact on the results. There was also an important difference in pot size: the naturally grown Sour Jealousy was grown in an 18 L pot, while the other three plants were grown in 14 L pots. From this grow, combined with my experience from previous years, I continue to see a relationship between available root space and overall plant development: more substrate seems to give the plant more room to develop. The biggest advantage of LST was not yield, but plant structure and height control. The trained plants remained much shorter and more compact, making them considerably less conspicuous than the naturally grown plants. Drying Comparison I also experimented with two different trimming approaches. The two LST plants were wet trimmed, while the two naturally grown plants were dry trimmed. Throughout drying, I tried to maintain humidity between 55–65%. Temperature was unfortunately higher than ideal, staying around 26–28°C, as I didn’t have equipment to control it. Despite the less-than-ideal temperature, the aromas coming from both groups are very promising. At this stage, both drying methods have produced flowers with excellent fragrances. However, this comparison has an important limitation: because the LST plants were wet trimmed and the natural plants were dry trimmed, the two variables cannot be completely separated. Any differences in the final aroma or quality cannot be attributed exclusively to the drying method. For that reason, I’ll wait until the curing process is further along before making any conclusions. Final Thoughts This experiment gave me some interesting empirical evidence about LST on autoflowers. For my setup, natural growth clearly outperformed LST in terms of final weight, while LST offered a clear advantage in terms of plant size and canopy control. The sample size is obviously too small to draw definitive conclusions, so I’d really like to hear from other growers who have compared LST vs natural growth on autoflowering plants, especially when using the same genetics, pot size and environmental conditions. I’ll update this diary again in about a month, once the curing process is complete and I can compare the final aromas and tasting experience.

Still very happy with this grow. I have started checking the trichomes for any colour change but all seem to look totally clear

Week 11 Blossoms: Cherry Cola's Resilience Shines Through Dear fellow cultivators, my sincere apologies for the delayed report presentation. Nevertheless, let's delve into the remarkable journey of Week 11 in the realm of Cherry Cola. Amidst the delay, our green queen's resilience shines through, a testament to the unwavering spirit of growth and adaptation. As Week 11 unfolds, Cherry Cola emerges as a beacon of floral splendor in the garden. Despite the challenges and the unforeseen delays, her blossoms continue to enchant, a testament to the beauty of resilience in adversity. Apologies for the delayed glimpse into Cherry Cola's progress, but rest assured, the wait has been worth it. The buds have matured into luscious clusters, each a testament to the journey of patience and perseverance. In a strategic move towards harvest, all feedings have been halted, and Cherry Cola is now receiving plain water with a TDS of 100 and a pH of approximately 6.8. This transition ensures a gradual flushing of nutrients, allowing for a smoother, more flavorful final product. It's a testament to our commitment to quality and taste. I extend my heartfelt apologies for any interruption in the flow of updates. Your support and understanding are deeply appreciated as we navigate through the twists and turns of this horticultural journey. Just as Cherry Cola's roots anchor her amidst the storms, may we too find strength in our resilience. Let her journey be a reminder that delays and setbacks are merely temporary detours on the path to success. As we embrace Week 11 with grace and understanding, Cherry Cola's journey serves as a poignant reminder of the beauty found in resilience. Let us move forward with renewed vigor and optimism, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead. Stay tuned for more updates as Cherry Cola's story unfolds. Thank you for your patience and unwavering support. Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_ Love, Care, and Attention: @dogdoctorofficial As always, thank you all for joining me on this journey, for your love, and for it all. My horticultural odyssey would never be the same without you. Your love and support are cherished, and I feel both honored and blessed to have you in my life Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love To you All 💚 💚 💚

This ladys packing on to 4 fatty colas and stacking them to the tits. She has other branches obviously lol but the 4 colas are all sharing dominance and really getting fat. Bud structre is really coming in now. Very round and dense. Lots of flowers already piled on at every bud site. Trichomes are piling on thick already. This is gunna get mighty frosty! I reduced the nitrogen dose again. I also stopped giving her vigorous. Its a pure bloom mix now as this lady is booming with flowers. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

OK still on the fence about the 6/2 light schedule got to get more data before I submit💪 might have been unstable genes I will try again with some proven genetics. The 2 remaining ladies seem to be charging alone here. gonna give them there feeding tonight. they are digging the rainwater as well. time lapse is up on last weeks post hoping for some bud development these next couple weeks. cheers all and thanks for all the feedback believe me when I say I appreciate the wisdom.🙏

These photos were taking yesterday and I meant to post than but here we are. They seem to be doing well, growth seems to be picking up a bit but I've noticed slight burns and I think I just started nutrients a little bit too early. A new addition to the tent is a 4th seed I planted today, I'm goign to breed the best female and male, hopefully I get two females and one male but well see.

I harvested four plants today, putting 884 grams of wet flowers into the dry tent. I am trying to keep the environment as close as possible to 60F / 60% RH, but with the current temperatures, I will be lucky to keep it around 65. I am looking forward to the terpenes moving towards the skunky aromas.

After 68 hours of darkness, the gelato is getting trimmed and hung up This shit is fire 🔥

All branches look red because genetic right?

Le séchage n'étant pas terminé au complet l'odeur n'est pas encore présente comme il faut mais très beau bourgeons

🍀21/07 - Ya se encuentra en etapa de secado. 🍀En el lavado de raíz le agregue 30L de agua con 10ml de Top Wash, las ultimas lavadas ya el agua de la maceta salia transparente. 🍀A la hora de cortarla largaba mucho olor a dulce, los cocos todos llenos de resina y muy pegajosos. 🍀La gran mayoría de los cogollos son grandes y densos, muy poca cantidad de cocos chicos. 🍀Es una planta espectacular, no tuve ningún problema en toda su etapa, creció perfecta. 🍀La voy a dejar los días necesarios para que pueda secarse, ya compre sobres de humedad para el próximo paso que seria el curado. 🍀Dio un total de 165g, en un indoor de 60x60 y con luz led de 150w. 🍀En estos días seguiré subiendo mas imágenes de como viene. 🍀😶‍🌫️🇦🇷Podes seguirme Insta gram como @bruweed_arg🍀😶‍🌫️🇦🇷

Checking in with the 2nd week of flower for the G.Bomb. Defoliated the lower canopy to promote airflow and upper growth As you can see, shes shot up during the stretching period, Think its safe to expect another couple ft of stretch by the end of the 4th. Shes drinking more than ever, i'm going to increase the nute intake next week so she'll have all she need to finish her stretching. Looking forward to keeping you guys updated within the following weeks 😁😁
