11/4 130am Lights up to 77 watts 4.3 grams Maxi-Grow powder this week. Using mix from last week. Will probably switch to Bloom by Wed.
11/5 12am Canopy Creations LST things are great resistance training builds huge branches!!!
They are amazing. 10am growing fast and big after today’s watering!!!
Garlic muffin and fatso have the thickest branches that I’ve ever seen the side branches are thicker than what I got when I was growing in bigger containers so these nutrients and the soil and this light wattage seems to be a good formula I have to save this and work on it And stressing with the Canopy Creations has doubled the diameter of the branches that I have been stressing. Just great results.
11/6 Galic is the strongest so far her branches are THICK, a perfect 4 cola grow. Each of the 4 branches are as thick as the main stem on my first few tries at this.
12am They were all dry gave water probably last week using Grow switching to Bloom nutrients. Extremely strong plants from Seedsman!!!! When I finally got them going I found using Maxi-Grow & Rapid Start made a huge difference!!! Only Rapid Start for the first week.
11/7 1am GM & CA are huge now!!
lights up 89W as the leaves fold up a little for the heat I will raise them an inch or so. 1pm did water today. They are starting to flower
11/8 12:30am Switched to Bloom nutrients yesterday after the last feeding with Grow they all went to sleep right away after that and are waking up now with flowers forming. I will use 4grams Bloom, 0.4 Purpinator, 0.5 Rapid Start, 0.4 Silica, 0.4 Cal/Mag. Silica causes fluctuations in pH.
2am Galic is a MONSTER, and Seedsman is out of them. Fatso is next for size. I can not believe how huge the branches are this technique of 4 colas in a small 1 gallon container. These plants will be perfect for this
9am LST crazy day!!! I have never been able to train the small set of first branches that come off the first node on plants before until seedsmen Faso and garlic🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
11/9 1am flowering I might have to split them up into 2 tents they are all getting bigger than I thought they could, this is just great! after 20 fails I think im getting this small grow style worked out.
1:30pm moved the RSQ's into tent 3. Tent 2 not big enough but I'll make it work. Once I harvest the plants from the 🎃 Halloween All the Darkness grow it will be easier. Galic & Fatso by Seedman are HUGE very thick branches, thick side branches responds to training extremely well. Strongest F1's!

July 20: smoke arrived this morning to go with our heat wave. Awesome. Extra watering, misting air, and wetting the sides of the grow bags with hose water to keep things cooler and hydrated. So far so good in the heat.
Did foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate.
Also note that for all my grows I use apple cider vinegar for pH adjustment and a Dr Bronners liquid soap as a wetting agent (surfactant).
Euphoria is doing great, but to ensure that it finishes early enough for this latitude (53N) where the UV light gets very weak after mid-August, I’m starting the force flowering tonight. Already starting to flower but I want a strong flower set and as much flower growth under strong sunlight as possible.
Force flowering schedule is 2-3 weeks of in dark garage at 9 pm followed by 730 nm far red light and then back out at 7 am. The light initiates dark mode 2 h faster so it’s like having a 26 h day. Good trick use as a bloom booster, also moves up the finish 2-4 weeks. So, 10+2 is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight. Might sound bogus but it works.
July 21: first night of force flowering caused a big stretch. Notably stretched after darkness in hot garage overnight. Hot outside overnight too but was much hotter inside garage and recorded here as 24 C. Seems okay and high overnight temperature might be ideal at this early flowering stage. Warm overnight temperatures continue for a few more days.
July 22: record hot overnight low forecast for tonight of 24 C and feels like 27 C with humidity. Wow, that is really incredible for here and 13 C above historic average.
July 26: six days into flowering and she is doing fine. 👍👍

What's up fellow growmies! I hope all is well with your grows!
This week progressed like usual, they actually are starting to pre-flower and growing stigmas. Its like clock work with these autos July 1st marked a complete year in growing and each time I've grown autos they always start to transition to flower in week 5/6.
Its hard to believe it has been a complete year for me💪🏾 I have gained so much knowledge and received so much help from this community and I really appreciate it. It seems like yesterday I was frantically worrying about everything. Although I have much to learn I think I pretty much have it down to a science. This last year I have grown 4 different strains 2 times each.
On my current grow I have stopped obsessing over watering, one thing I am learning is that watering until run off is not really needed, unless you want to test the ppm/ph of said run-off, otherwise you are just wasting water.
I start off with 1 liter of water per plant, and as they grow I make my way up to 2 liters. It appears to be the sweet spot especially for the 5 gallon pots, after about 2 liters I start to see run-off in the 3gallon pots I see it after about 1.5 liters of water.
I am still using the General Hydroponics Flora Series trio, it has worked well for me. I always mix what the manufacturer recommends per gallon into a 3 gallon sprayer, so I am giving 1/3rd of the recommended dosage out of fear of nute burn or lockout.
I performed LST on both Big Bud Auto plants, and one of my White Widows, the other 2 White Widows I am letting grow naturally.
Stay tuned and Happy Growing!!!! 🤘🏾🤙🏾💪🏾

***** Week 8 Flower - November 7 to 13, 2020, Days 50 to 56 *********
Okay Growmies this is the last update until the harvest week. The girls are down now and doing their thing in the dry box 😀👍
This is the last days for Cream 47 from Sweet Seeds. They have been fun and a learning experience with topping and trying to flush too late! I must admit.......sometimes I am tired of learning, how about an autopilot run soon😂😂😂
The girls were given their last bit of moisture on Nov 7/20, Day 50 of 2L RO water. November 8/20, Day 51 they went into darkness for two full days and then cut down. They had green leaves but the bud itself is looking pretty good.......smoke in a couple of months will tell the full story of how they flushed but for now there isn't anything else we can do and they are being harvested this week.
Next update will be a harvest week!

This week some of the plants are starting to show a few brown pistils on the calyxes as an indicator that peak bloom period is occurring. I don’t expect them to do much other than fill out a bit at this point with exception of some of the more Sativa phenotypes like the Tangerine Dream. One of the these seedplants failed to bloom properly it may lack the autoflowering genes. I don't want to risk damaging the roots in the system by culling it. I might leave it in to see what happens and transplant it before I clean out the system for the fall grow.
I’m pretty satisfied with the autoflower grow so far but I do have some room for improvement:
1) Next grow I will use CNS17 Ripe possibly from start to finish to see if that improves the flowering of the plants. I feel that my feed is high in nitrates so I am starting to flush this week.
2) You can see by the plants all showed variation in physical appearance and Trichrome production. The only plant that has gone purple out of the batch and is a high yielding Gorilla Zittles from Barneys. If I grow autoflowers again in this system I want to choose plants that are a little more uniform. I think the Botanicare Turbo Garden and similar systems are best suited for clones as they grow a little more uniform. Autoflowers even from the same strain have a wide variation which is cool because every seed is a surprise.
3) I need an overhead plant support. I am not sure how the plants survived some pretty high winds. One stem broke and I repaired it enough so that the plant actually survived.
4) I'm working on a microcontroller sensor node to allow some automation to the system.
My favorite plants in this batch are the Dinafem Amnesia Auto CBD based only on aesthetics at this point.
The Blue Dream Auto from Humbolt is one of the smaller plants but it has quite a bit of resin on it. The smaller plants may have been stunted as my nute level from the beginning was approaching upper limits for leaf burn (1.7-1.8 EC). I had since backed down but over-fertilization in early stages is not reversible and comes at a cost of plant health and vigor.
I took a video to try and show the overall garden progress. I did not defoliate this grow which makes it hard to see the individual flower structure but I will have defoliated harvest photos coming up soon!

Pig. Pig. Pig🐷 Day 35 for this beautiful girl. She is just starting to stretch and looks so big and bushy. I started feeding her pretty heavily because she looks like she’s just about to go into flower and she’s eating it all up. Her structure is just beautiful pretty even canopy and I am defoliated so she had some even light penetration. I’m always just so impressed by Sweet seeds. there plants just get so big and beautiful and they’re always so potent and solid I always try to have a staple of their seeds in my tent.

Bubble OG Gum auto is growing great. She is bulking, and has a fruity kinda of a gum smell. The smell will change slightly as she grows more I am sure. It's looking super frosty and like it will be a great smoke. Thank you Ganja Farmer, Athena, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱
Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻

Flowering week - 5
91 Octane - the biggest one is so satisfying in three babies and waiting to see bigger buds in next following weeks.
Banana Daddy- this one has so many tall pistals but her buds need to grow bigger. Hope to see better results
Sugar Cane - the smallest one starts making her bud form and looking forward to see some bigger and tight buds.
First time season grower
If something wrong included you guys can advise me everything.
Happy Grow

That was the most difficult week. It was very cold and rainy, the humidity of the air reached 90% at most, but without sequels, thank God. On day 63, I defoliated and she is strong, fat and definitely smells like cheese.

On day 6 week 4 She is putting out alot of pistills and budlets no smell yet.flowering is deff underway now. This is looking like a 10 week strain as she took almost 4 weeks to start budlets which I usually see around week 2-3.

Empecé el lavado de raíces. Pise sólo agua con ph regulado en 5.8 y voy cambiando todo el depósito todos los días. La idea sería terninar la semana con la misma EC de entrada que de salida. Las Tropicana terminar decepcionando en cantidad, ya que no engordaron. Pero si están muy llenas de teicomas. La Polaris en camvio engordaron y vienen muy bien. Imagino que tomarán un par de días más. Pero no creo que demasiado. Hice una defolicación muy fuerte. Ya incluso manicurado casi.

11/17 Week 10
Ripley - Starting her on the Soul Peak very soon, low dose 5ml see how she takes it will reduce CocoTek on just her by 3ml/gal at that dose.
Keep defoliating her gently, dozen of so leaves every day or so just to keep buds open to light. No visible problems
Tara - The Beast - Ok now it officially the largest plant we have grown to date. With the pot its hitting 4 ft 8 in without 3 ft 2 in. The stretch has finally slowed to a stop and buds are beginning to quickly build... thank you God.
I was really wondering what I was going to do next.
Am going to have to bind her up a bit just for support tomorrow as those buds get heavy and she needs to give Ripley some room.
Also cleaning the heck out of the lower end tomorrow.
Keeping her CocoTek at current level with a Cal-Mag foliar every few days
1/19
Foliar Cal-Mag feed on Tara
Cleaned out the bottom of Tara, first pass at least see how it turns out.
Decided to put Tara on the same feed as Ripley see what happens as Ripley is building buds faster with the PK cant say that would hurt Tara,
No def so may as well
May be early but heck what do I know, on new ground here
1/20 So far so good, cleaned up Tara a bit and bound her up to give support and room for Ripley.
Buds building nicely crap load of them
Ripley doing well in the pK so will continue her protocol by slowly reducing CT and inc PK
1/21 Noticing some mag def on Tara and random Ca spots so getting a dose of Cal-Mag 3ml/gal as well as the foliar.
1/22 3ml/gal CalMag added to Tara feed
reduced CT 2ml/gal
Ripley on 5ml/gal CocoTek AB and 10ml/gal Peak getting her ready for flush
1/23 Going to try alternating between adding 3ml Cal-Mag to Tara's feed and foliar with same. Not a bad Mg problem but obviously one I cant ignore given its Ca as well.
Ripley on 6.1 Water and 15ml/gal Peak one more day then flushing to start week 11

Got an ounce from her. Not too much as far as yield but the dense bud structure and purple hues made it all worth while. Pressing it for rosin and it is perfect.
