Hello. This is the end of week 11 and the beginning of week 12 of veg. They need to grow for another week before flipping to flowering. I'd like them a little bigger. They are doing good and growing well. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

As an Auto she has been the most finicky plant ive ever grown. EXPERIENCED GROWERS ONLY!!!!

Una cepa muy fácil de cultivar, y muy agradecida de los cuidados y alimentos dados... En sus últimas 3 semanas engordaron muy bien llegando a formar muy lindos apicales centrales.

day 48 - The buds keep getting fat and the calmag problem has been solved. I like the smell and the color of the buds, its like black as you can see at some pictures.

Week 3 and they are starting to take off. I used some Recharge by Real Growers. Instant compost soil amendment ingredients. Great stuff.

Start of 12/12 light cycle, round 2 with the citrus skunk strain. Increased feeding to 6L per plant (water + nutes), hopefully this increase will keep the plants healthier throughout the grow.

ciao a tutti, le piante sembrano stare bene. Da quando ho tolto lo scrog non mi sembra ci siano state molte differenze nella struttura generale delle piante, sembrano stare su anche senza l'aiuto della rete. I fiori hanno iniziato a formarsi, ma ho alzato la lampada di qualche cm perché la punta dei fiori della purple punch stavano diventando albini per la troppa luce (che stava causando il problema), mentre nessun problema nella glookies. Le piante sono alte all'incirca 40 cm e sono molto simili per superficie occupata, tuttavia la glookies ha una settimana in meno di vegetativa rispetto alla purple punch, la quale essendo a forte predominanza indica (10%-90%) si è allungata meno nelle prime settimane di fioritura rispetto alla glookies (30%-70%). La purple punch rimane comunque a mio avviso più compatta e ramificata rispetto all'altra pianta. Ho aggiunto 20 litri d'acqua con la quantità di fertilizzanti scritta sopra e ho aggiunto infine direttamente nella soluzione circolante 15 ml di pH- poichè il pH aveva raggiunto un valore di 6.6. edit giorno 25: si inizia a sentire un certo odore super dolce. Il pH si è assestato sui 5.9 prima di versare 10l d'acqua con l'aggiunta di 0,8ml/l di floragrow 1,6ml/l di floramicro 2,4ml/l di flrabloom 1ml/l di calmag Le piante sembrano stare molto bene👌

Gave the ladies their first dose of nutrients. I made sure they were very diluted. they loved it. When I came to check on them, they were all praying. Yay.

Pretty happy this week. It’s starting to ripen up :) Getting close. Trichomes still not ready yet though.

Week 4 8/9 - All the girls are still moist so no water today as I'll let them dry out a bit until tomorrow when I'll check them again in the morning. The FastBuds Purple Lemonade and Seedsman Gelato OG girls are ALL getting it done! They are all 8" and bushy as hell! I've been tucking leaves, gently bending branches and doing my daily LST on all the girls to stay on top of them in this stretch before flower. 8/10- Checked the soil on all the ladies and it was very moist down deep, but fairly dry in the top 4" so I gave all the ladies a small drink (1 quart each) of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 @ 77deg. OMG they are really starting to bush out and stretch now, especially the girls in the Fox Farm/Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate mix, they're literally exploding! FastBuds Purple Lemonade and Seedsman Gelato OG's continue to lead the pack with growth and overall looks although the rest are now looking like they're gonna give them a run for their money! 8/11- No water for the girl's today. Mail Call! The Nematodes arrived today, 10 million of them, goodbye Fungus Gnats!😀 Temp's, RH and VPD all remain on point with day temps running 75-84 deg. and 68-74 deg. during the 5 hour dark period, RH maintaining @ 50-55% (I've been running the humidifier set @55% and I'm adjusting the ph to 6.5 on the water in it as well and the VPD runs from .90 to 1.18. Started a batch of Compost Tea ( 4g de-chlorinated 6.9ph water, 4 cups Worm Castings, 2/3 cup Kelp Meal, 2/3 cup Alfalfa Meal, 1/4 cup Bat Guano, 2 scoops Great White Mycorrhiza, 4 tbsp. Neptune's Harvest Seaweed Extract, 2 tbsp Alaskan Fish Extract and 1/3 cup unsulfured molasses) for the girls breakfast in 2 days. They're all growing like crazy now and the FastBuds Crystal Meth is beginning to flower along with one of the FB Purple Lemonades, the rest shouldn't be far behind. 8/12- Applied the Nematodes to all the girls this morning mixed into 2 gallons of 75 deg de-chlorinated 6.8ph water divided equally among them. I continued with my daily mild LST on all the girls, continuing to spread them out to allow light to reach all parts of the plants. I also cranked up the HLG 650R's to 450 watts each for a total of 900w @ the wall hung @ 36" from the soil. After I eventually have them cranked to max during flower I may drop them slightly depending on how the girls react. 8/13- Compost Tea for breakfast! Fed the girl's 1/2g each through the top with tea (840ppm, 1780EC, 7.6ph @ 81 deg), tucked shade leaves and LST'd where needed. FastBuds Purple Lemonade's and Crystal Meth's are all in flower, still waiting on Seedsman! Growth is phenomenal, girls are healthy looking with the exception of the Seedsman Gelato OG in SOHUM Living Soil - she is getting what appears to be tip burn, I'll be keeping an eye on her. 8/14- Well well...almost the end of Week 4 and I thought it would be prudent to calibrate my Blue Labs Soil PH Pen and TDS/EC Pen, which I did. I then proceeded to check all of the ladies mediums ph and OMG am I glad I did! All of the Natures Living Soil/Happy Frog mixes ph'd between 6.2 and 6.8 which is perfect! The SOHUM Living Soil with the Seedsman Gelato OG in it also had an acceptable ph of 6.4 ----BUT, and I mean a BIG but, the SOHUM Living Soil with the FastBuds Crystal Meth #2 in it had a ph of 5.2-5.4 checked at four places around the pot!...WTF! I double checked everything and same result. The plant looks generally healthy, although not as robust as it's sister in NLS/FF mix. Gonna sleep on this and ponder my next move. The rest of the ladies are on FIRE😍 They are all in flower now with the Seedsman Zkittles the furthest behind and the FastBuds Crystal Meth #1 and both of the Purple Lemonade's are the furthest along so far. No water today as they got a healthy dose of compost tea yesterday but I did do my daily leaf tucking and light LST to keep the light penetration good into the lower bud sites. Speaking of light penetration, I cranked the HLG 650R's up to 450w at the wall each for a total of 900w hitting my girls now and lowered both of the 650R's 4" from 36" to 32" and will see how the ladies respond. 8/15- Well, I slept on what to do with the Crystal Meth #2 in the SOHUM Living Soil with the ACIDIC ph. Today I ran 4 1/2 gallons of de-chlorinated water @ 7.7 ph to try to get some ph back. I measured the ph and PPM/EC of the runoff and more surprises awaited. The runoff had a PH of 4.2, repeat FOUR POINT TWO, 1480 PPM and an EC of 6550 @ 77 deg. I don't know how this girl looks as good as she does considering that she's basically living in ten gallons of between black coffee and tomato juice! I'll check the ph of her medium tomorrow and see where we go from here. I gave all the rest of my girls 1 gallon of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.9 @ 76 deg. and defoliated a couple of leaves on the OG's, Zkittles and lightly LST'd everybody, even the girl living in a pot of coffee!...LMAO😂 ONWARD to Week FIVE!!! Whoo Hoo!!!👍💪

Grow Diary - Week 1: Germination of Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid Automatic Introduction: Greetings, Growmies! Salokin here, thrilled to share the exciting germination week of our newest addition, Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid Automatic. A special shout-out to Patricia from the Zamnesia family for granting us the opportunity to be among the first to cultivate this fantastic strain. Our journey begins as we prepare these seedlings for their future home in the controlled environment of Tent X. Germination Process: On January 24th, the Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid Automatic seeds were carefully placed in the EZ-Plug germination setup. After a brief 1 1/2 days in these nurturing plugs, the seeds sprouted, marking the commencement of their growth journey. The uniformity in their germination is impressive, showcasing synchronized and promising starts for each seedling. Growing Environment: While they're not yet in the Tent X environment, our Watermelon Candy seedlings are thriving in their current setup. We're preparing the optimal conditions for their transition into the controlled environment. Observations: The seedlings exhibit a thriving and lush green appearance, though slightly trailing their tent mates. This expected difference in early-stage growth is carefully monitored, and adjustments are made to ensure optimal conditions. Acknowledgment: A special thanks to Zamnesia Seeds and Patricia for the sponsorship and the opportunity to cultivate this exciting strain. We eagerly anticipate observing the Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid Automatic's journey from germination to harvest. Stay tuned for more updates as we nurture these promising seedlings through their growth stages. Stay Lifted, Salokin

This one is a wrap… Hang Dry for as long as possible and well be testing later 🚀🚀🚀 GHL

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making thier way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track.. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!! Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

LAST 2 GROWS OF SAME STRAIN PLANTS GREW UP TO 3 FT USING LOW POWERED LIGHT. THIS NEW LIGHT IS UNBRANDED, WEIRD AND THE EBAY SELLER SOUNDS LIKE HES JUST DROP SHIPPING THEM AS THEY DONT SELL THE DAISY CHAIN BUT THIS THING LOOKS TO BE DOING A WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED JOB AS LONG AS YOU GROW 2 PLANTS ONLY AND IN 3 GALLON POTS MAX. IM USING FOX FARM BIG BLOOM. I CAREFULLY STICK MY FINGER IN DIRT ABOUT AN INCH OR 2 TO DETERMINE IF NEEDS WATER. 4 CUPS OF WATER FROM MY WELL AND ABOUT EVERY 2 WEEKS I SPLASH AN EMERIL LEGASSI BAM OF BIG BLOOM. IM PROBABLY USING WAY MORE FERTILIZER THAN I SHOULD BUT IT LOOKS GOOD SO IM GOING WITH IT. BASICALLY JUST ENOUGH TO COVER THE BOTTOM OF A 4 CUP MEASURING CUP. THE THING I DIDNT REALIZE ABOUT BIG BLOOM FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS UP UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO IS, YOU HAVE TO SHAKE UP THE FREAKING BOTTLE BEFORE YOU USE IT. I JUST CHECKED IT, IT SAYS SHAKE WELL. SO IM SHAKING THE BOTTLE NOW AND IM PRETTY PROUD ABOUT THE WHOLE FUCKING THING. I HAVE WATCHED HOURS OF VIDEOS AND READ ARTICLES AND ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING DIFFERENT THINGS AND I CANT DO THEM ALL BUT ORDERED CHEAP PH METER FOR SOIL AND WATER SO I CAN FILL IN THE BLANK AND MAYBE FIND OUT ANOTHER PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. JUST AM A LITTLE AFRAID TO TRY ANY NEW TRICKS AS IT SEEMS TO BE GOING OK. THE REASON IM ONLY GROWING CRITICAL PURPLE? ITS LEGAL WHERE I LIVE BUT THEY DONT SELL SHIT LIKE THIS STUFF. YOU HAVE TO HONESTLY HAVE WHATEVER SUPPLIES YOU MAY NEED FOR A COUPLE HOURS CLOSE BY AS ITS A LITTLE TRIPPY. NO MATTER HOW BIG THE BUDS END UP, SMOKING THE BEST SHIT OF YOUR LIFE AND KNOWING YOU GREW IT YOURSELF IS AN OUT OF BODY LEVEL EXPERIENCE. I RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY. NO PUN INTENDED.

Week 5 is about finished. I started the girls on the finisher product to help. Harden the buds, basically only another week and a half before I begin the flush.

Lookin good and the plant is pretty much on cruise control

Oh lovely looking plant. Straight up looks a Cali girl. Have a lot less Complicated grow this time with just tipping - kinda miss the trellis…but all good have too much work to do

Had to support the trellises, definitely need a middle support next time. This will work for the last few weeks

Alright, so I know this is only a few days after my last update.Put my last update was a week and a half from the one prior so we are back on track... I will say these buds are gaining size and weight very fast, considering how far along she is... The buds are already starting to pack on weight... She smells good and I'm still not over the whole not trimming thing. So awesome.. God bless and happy growing everyone
