Beginning of week.. I went up a tad on the nutes today.. And went down on the light power last week.. It was about 65% - 70% power which was quite a bit, I guess.. I put it at 50% power and she is finally starting to get some height to her.. I noticed more pistils toward the very top. I really hope she doesn't start flowering too soon.. I'd like to get some LST done on her. But she is happy and healthy! Next day... Even more pistils! Its been awhile since I grew an auto.. So I kinda forgot how early pistils can start poppin out but still be in veg (preflower). I just really wanna turn this girl into a flat bush! 10 mins later... Ok.. So looking back at my other autos.. This is pretty typical for them to start showing preflower this early.. She should still have 2 or 3 more weeks of veg with preflower! Mid week.. This is a day early.. But close enough.. 3rd week and growth is beginning to explode! The very first node's branches aren't really doing much.. Plus they are damn near to the ground.. I'm wondering if I should just remove them.. Maybe not yet.. But soon.. Or when I finally apply some LST. She is doing great!... No deficiencies.. No excesses.. Autoflowers are a trip! Can't wait to see what she looks like in another 7 days! I wanna try to do the entire grow without removing much, if anything.. But if this bottom branch doesnt start doing something.. I'm gonna have to remove it.. Its just bothering me way too much lol. Actually mid week.. SoI have been noticing a little bit of clawing and darkness.. BUT ONLY on the new growth.. As the leaves get older they seem to straighten out and lighten up a bit.. But I'm pretty sure it's nitrogen toxicity.. So I went down from .66mL/L to .33mL/L.. I use 3L to water daily.. So basically 1mL per feeding of all the base nutrients and the CalMag.. The Floralicious Plus has a bit of nitrogen too so I went down a tad on that as well. I read someone else's grow that says these girls are a bit sensitive to nitrogen.. So that's where I'm at now. Flushed this morning, and now for a small feed tomorrow morning. Will be updating with pics at the end of this week. Later that night.. Went ahead and flushed with just 2L of pH'd water.. Going in - pH: 6.3 PPM: 240.. Runoff - pH: 6.1 PPM: 640... So the PPM is still a bit high, but during the feed tomorrow, it should go down some still.. I should have ALOT of runoff tomorrow. I had the same amount I normally do when I use 3L just from these 2L.. Just cuz its 12 hours early.. The medium was still nice and moist.. And will still be in the AM for the next fertigation. Next day... Waking up this morning, I found that the oldest set of leaves that had been clawed cleared up.. For the most part.. Still dark asf.. But not as much clawing..the newest set were still clawed tho.. Which is understandable.. I made 3L of nutes.. Only used 2L in the AM.. Going in pH: 6.3.. PPM: 420... Runoff pH: 6.2.. PPM: 480... Not bad.. And I still have 1L left over which I am going to have to give her later today.. And will update with the runoff info also. Some say not to worry about the runoff pH.. But I think that is only because when people see it really low, they tend to give make the nutes waaay too high in order to combat the low runoff.. I just make my nutes 6.5 till ai see the runoff coming out at the area that works best for my grows.. Which is 6.2 or 6.3.. Let me explain why I use 6.2 to 6.3... My first 2 grows in coco I was using 5.8 to 6.0.. It worked well in veg but it was only during the transition and beginning of flower that I had calcium defeciency.. GWE website said that in hydroponics/coco that calcium is best absorbed at 6.3 or so.. So ever since I've just ran my girls at 6.2 or 6.3.. No lower, no higher.. The entire grow.. And haven't had any issues with deficiencies since! So that is MY sweet spot.. I may let it drift to 6.1 or 6.4.. But I try not to, for the most part. Later that night... I went ahead and did 1L of pH'd water first.. Then did the 1L of nutrient water.. Runoff came out at 420 PPM 6.2 pH... Nice... Also, I went ahead and ponytailed the top and pulled some of the longer branches on top of the fan leaves.. I'm only going to keep it ponytailed for the rest of the day (6 hours left of lights on).. Never tried this before, but with these super fat indica leaves blocking literally every branch.. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. I may do it for another 6 hours tomorrow.. But I havent thought that far into it yet. I just want her and her branches to be long enough to begin some LST by the beginning of next week.. And already more than halfway through this week. Happy with the way things are going, for the most part... Almost end of week.. Ponytailed her again for another 6 hours this morning.. Just trying to give the side branches a little head start before the LST next week. End of week.. Welp.. I couldn't wait one more day to apply some LST.. I went ahead and did it today.. I also removed the bottom node, leaves and branches.. They were weak branches and I figured I could get them to take root and breed some seeds with them using Collidail Silver method! I really like how these branches have grown on this girl! It's like they already grew into a lollipop!!! Still only using the light at 50% power.. Which is helping keep the temps down a bit... Niceeee... I haven't defoliated anything (except the bottom node due to very weak branches and horrible looking leaves.. Which I'm guessing is because they were so low, possibly getting nutrient water on them during watering) but again, cloning those to breed with! She has completely exploded this week! Very happy with this girl! On to the next week!!!...

Day 74 and there getting chopped today! I thought the harvest was going to be broken into two separate weeks considering the times on the Choco was listed about 7-10 days sooner then the DD (wich was listed at 70 days for flowering) However looking at the tricombs on the Chocolate Marshmallow most pheno didnt start getting amber untill the DDs did as well! A couple DD pheno could have maybe gone a couple more days but we will see! Going for reveg on all the pheno, since i didnt get to take any clones. We will see how it goes!

Transplanted to a 5 gallon pot half way through the week and heavily watered/fed for the next 2 days, then topped for the first time at the end of the week. She's doing really well. Now it's about keeping the plants trained and the same height. 2 timelapses this week. Enjoy!

Day 58 Video shows Cheesy Auto from Philosopher Seeds first then the Blackberry Gum from Seedstockers and the back two are Sweet and Sour from Mephisto genetics. The short SnS smells very sour grape and the taller one has a much sweeter aroma. The blackberry gum smells quite sweet , the Cheesy one is starting to get cheesy , resin production started , she is on day 48 ish. The largest SnS has just had water as looks to be finishing fast, the shorter SnS and Blackberry Gum have had Iguana Bloom and BAC Organic PK boost , the Cheesy auto had just Iguana Bloom only. That will get PK boost this week.

Again it's been a fairly productive week with the grow. Didn't quite hit my VPD target but I wasn't far from it. There is enough foliage that I managed to remove the humidifier from the tent. #1 Wedding Cheesecake FF is where I'm expecting her to be at, she is smaller then the others but I'm sure they are just rapid in growth. I didn't top/fim this one when I did the others as I wanted her to catch up a bit in height 1st. Probably veg for 1 more week and switch to flower. Power used for week Light (1.96+1.96+1.96+1.96+1.96+1.95+1.95)=13.7Kw Extractor (0.05+0.05+0.05+0.06+0.06+0.06+0.07)=0.4Kw Fans (0.31+0.30+0.30+0.30+0.3+0.31+0.39)=2.21Kw Humid (0.05+0.02+0.0+0.0+++)=0.07Kw Radiator (1.44+0.9+1.04+0.68+0.6+0.92+2.61)=8.19Kw Total for the week=24.57Kw Back in a week.

23.04.2025 Day 51. God Dang these ladies are beginning to pack a punch. In the past week the chemdawg has strected. No smell yet on chemdawg. As for the others, the flower are terping up. The struggling one has begun showing some nice purple flowers and smells like bubblegum. Another one smells sour like a green or unriped mango and the next one just smells sweet like candy. Flowers are swelling and begun to put on weight. During the past week I topped up reservoirs with nutrient solution but today i changed out reservoir with fresh nutrient solution. No training was done This week.

Day 7 flowering : Hi all . A good week for these Exotic ladies tjisbweek with the flowers starting to show up throughout #1,2 And 3. #4 is a week behind it seems now and has started her flowering too. All of them are looking so healthy and green with some huge fan leaves powering the beginning of stretch. I will be defoliating at around day 21 Flowering and will remove the biggest fans to get light down lower in the plants. The stems on these are so thick already that I am confident they will be holding some nice fat colas up come harvest time. #3 has taken the lead with her actual flowers amd has some golf balls forming up already!!. Thisnpot had the premixed pellets in for feeds and I wonder if that is why she is advanced ?. All in all a good week for them all. I am excited at the prospect of their next few weeks now and am so glad I had the chance to try the genetics. Thank you @exoticseed . I already love these plants and their willingness to grow happily is very endearing.

My how she smells and fades 😋😍👌 Getting some really nice coloration on her in her last stage 👏👏. Trichomes look good, ill let her rip for another week or so to have the middle and bottom buds catch up a bit, and probably harvest during my vacation. Looks im gonna be busy for a while with her.😵 Watering still stays 6L at ~6PH 5ml/L Bloom, 5ml/L Green Sens. Did some final and thorough defoliaton this week because i did not like that the RH was creeping towards 60%. Next run already decided for a 1:1 Plant, also from Paradise Seeds. Photoperiods it is for now 👻 Harvest is approaching 💀

The plants are doing really well ✌️ Last week it looked like the buds growth was slowing down, but this week the buds are growing in size by the day. The strain description says the plant should be ready in 9 weeks, but as things look now it could also be 10 weeks. I don't mind though as she already looks amazing and getting better every day! The plant in the back that didn't have the purple shades is now also turning purple-ish. The resin production on both plants is more than I ever seen in previous grows. The buds and sugarleafs are sparkling every time I open the growbox, and the smell is really intense. My carbon filter is having a hard time keeping the aroma inside the GTools these last few weeks 😅 Will the Fruity Donutz will be ready by the end of the week? Stay tuned for more pictures and updates 😊😉 A final update before the plants are harvested ✌️ It's officially week 10 now, but I plan to harvest the Fruity Donutz in a day or 2. The trichomes are mostly milky but no amber ones just yet. It would be a shame to harvest these beauties before they reach their max potential. They look absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to try them. I plan to chop them down and hang them without doing any trimming, just remove the biggest leafs. They take longer to dry, but it does improve the overall taste and quality in my experience.

Hi people! Everyone knows that growing requires patience from the grower! otherwise nothing good will come of it .. and in this case my patience is at the limit)) but I hold on .. I'll tell you why ..)) I'm used to growing my plants using lst topping defoliation and all possible training methods .. (as you can see by reviewing my diaries ..) well, I was planning to do the same on this girl .. at the age of 3 weeks I did Topping .. well, I was planning further LST and all that .. but it is so beautiful that it will grow, grow round and turn into a beautiful round fluffy bush that I felt sorry to touch her and interfere with her natural beauty .. so I got patience and decided not to touch it at all until completion ..) hands itch to cut off at least a leaf! there are a lot of branches with flowers inside)) I just imagine her in buds in a few weeks) and it takes my breath away from understanding how beautiful she will look ..
