Hello there and welcome to week 12, or the beginning of it anyway. Week 11 is now complete so please check that out! We start the week with 5l fertigation and some nice photos. Now that Bertha is gone the tent smells Karenish. See you tomorrow! Day 78: Added several more carnivorous plants to the budding collection. Enjoy! Day 79: Fertigated 5l. She's starting to mature now. Frost developing slower, buds fattening and ripening faster. Were maybe two weeks away here. Night 80: Added tent photo and vid. Day 81 update later today. Day 81: Added a lot of media. Got a cheap digital microscope to try and get better micro shots. As you can see Karen is nowhere near yet. Day 82: Things are moving very fast, just look at the difference today. I am certain were with 2 weeks of harvest. Does anyone have advice on flushing/not watering. Fertigated 5l. Day 83: At the current rate of maturation I think the end of next week maybe be harvest time. Height 51cm Day 84: Karens smell is really strong now it washes across your face when you open the tent. End of week summary: A full week of nothing but bud swelling and maturation. I still think she needs another 2 weeks. Unfortunately my living situation has rather abruptly changed and now I have a tough choice to make: harvest/destroy or move plants. There is a strong chance I will chop Karen at the end of next week if she is ready or not.

Hello Growmies, As we round up week 5 with our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid by Zamnesia, the growth has been nothing short of impressive. The choice to employ low-stress training (LST) rather than topping has paid dividends, with the plants responding well to the gentle guidance of their growth, seamlessly integrating into the SCROG setup. This method has allowed for an even canopy spread, optimal light penetration, and air flow, which is critical for the health of the plants and ultimately the yield. Observing the Watermelon Candy's development, we see a testament to our cultivation methods. The vibrant green leaves reaching skywards, the sturdy stems, and the strategic placement of each branch in the SCROG—every detail points towards a successful vegetative phase. In terms of environmental control, we've applied the lessons learned from our other strains, maintaining a stable and ideal VPD during the day with the Tent-X system. The nights, however, have brought forth the same challenges we've faced with other strains, showing fluctuations in VPD levels. The integration of the Smart Mars Hydro fan into the Tent-X system is anticipated to solve this, and we are optimistic that this change will bring about the consistent conditions needed for the Watermelon Candy's continual thriving. Even with the small hiccup in the nighttime environmental control, the plants are flourishing. The robust health they exhibit is a sign they're ready for the flowering phase, and we expect nothing less than a bountiful harvest. And while we've experienced a bit of frustration with Secret Jardin and Mars Hydro for the integration challenges, we appreciate TrolMaster's efforts to assist. We are hopeful for a resolution soon, or we may revert to the reliable Prima Klima setup. As we move forward, the focus remains on the consistent monitoring and adjusting of their environment to ensure these Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids realize their full potential. Stay lifted, Salokin

Monday 1st may, Day 53 day 5 of 12/12

Drying ended after 12 days. Trimming took around 1 1/2 hours and was really easy. No real small or larfy buds to speak of. I'm surprised how well it did considering how high the humidity was in flower it is a very resilient plant. Smoked pretty well off the bat, but needs just a little time to smoke the best. After curing for a month is super smooth and makes fore a very nice dubes. its almost gone! My friend loved it.

This will be my 1st auto run. Other than one time I was sent some free f1 autos from rqs and I started some but I ended up tossing them for some reason or another. I am actually super excited to try out fastbuds. I have been wanting to try out fastbuds for over a year now. I'm not the greatest with seedlings so I am doing a test run with a 2x2 tent I'm gonna try and grow the best plant I get out if the 3 seeds hopefully it doesn't out grow my small 2x2 tent . Pound cake thou looks like a killer strain with some fat buds can't wait to see how fast fast buds really are. Here we go.

Jo, wird! aber schon wieder Blattläuse. Damn. Die Galato? Überall wo sie gebrochen war ist das jetzt n baum. Ach und 1.10 m hoch. Und voll... Yes! Die Sensi. Und, gut oder? Füe 12 h Licht. Auf jedenfall! Ja, der geneigte aufmerksame Beobachter wird es gesehen haben. ICH HABE SIE ANGENAGT! (ok schnell trocknen, dann mit tabak.. Knallt. Musste weil hier wiedermal im eh nicht gur sortierten FACHHANDEL,nix war, alles doof). SENSI SEEDS macht sich selbst alle Ehre. Hat trotz 12 h Licht angefangen Amber trichome zu zeigen. Ach ja, sheppert scheppert knallt, wummst. Explodiert, potent..POTENT. habe ne Knospe getrocknet (langsam). Genießbar. Und... Boah ich bin lemon. LEMON! nice one. Musik voll geil!. Und das ungecured. Yes. YES! YEAHH!

Easy harvest medium amount of leaves more later

12/9: Fed today...I feel better and my plants are looking better....whew! 12/10: Will switch to 12/12 tonight. and turn on the extra reds. Will also begin UVB stressing immediately. 12/11: Flipped to flower. 12/12: Fed today and sprayed with boom boom spray and axiom harpin proteins. I also added a tablespoon of Happy Frog Cavern Culture to the pots before watering it in. Got the DIY CO2 generator going with a fresh batch of sugar and yeast. 12/16: Fed today. Good week in the garden...plants are looking great...stretching has commenced.

This was another hot, hot week with a big rainstorm. Take a look at the measuring cup, it is full of rainwater. Zamnesia Mango Kush continues to smell and is very sticky. It is tall and with packed buds It should be ready to take down in a couple of weeks. Half way through this grow, I had to stop using Miracle Grow and change my grow plan. I decide to use Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice for the rest of the grow. Jungle Juice’s selling point is that it is the only nutrient that I should need during the entire grow. One just need to make the solution stronger as the plant matures. The directions say to “stir vigorously” and that is true. It is very clumpy and I had to stir and shake the bottle a lot. As your plant is in veg and growing larger, directions say to up your Jungle Juice to 4 ml per liter. If my calculations are correct, I am using approx. 5 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket. 1 gal is 3.78 liters 5 gallons=18.92 liters 4ml jungle juice per liter x 18.92 liters= 75.7 ml which is = to 5.119 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket of water As the end of the summer is quickly approaching, I have spent some time reflecting this week on all of the contests that I have entered and not won this summer. It can be a little frustrating because of all the time I have spent taking pictures and writing commentary. But, instead of it getting me down, I have to think about all of the positive take aways and I want to share them on this platform. I have read a lot of diaries and now know why I am just an apprentice. I have a lot to learn from all of you. There are some really good growers with a lot of experience and crazy grow techniques. So much knowledge is on this platform-it’s mind boggling. To be a great grower, you must be willing to be vulnerable and put yourself out there and try different suggestions and new techniques. I have made a few friend that I enjoy chatting with. I enjoy reading comments versus just seeing likes. My best friend on grow diaries is @Natrona and my neighbor as well. She has been growing longer than I have been so I routinely learn from her. This summer I learned to mix 1 cup of Perlite into my soil. I can see where my plants need the air flow. And, I now I only defoliate fan leaves that absolutely need to be gone. I let the fan leaves stay on until they fall off. I want my buds to pull all the nutrients they can out of the fan leaves. I also bought 2 new tools that @natrona suggested. The first was a water PH tester and the second was my Max-ee Magnifier which is informative and fun to use. As always, Let’s Chat it up AND Likes and comments are appreciated

Девочки активно растут. 10июня растишки уедут в открытый грунт.10.06.2023.Сегодня растения были высажены в открытый грунт. Посещать растения буду раз в неделю.Сегодня 13.06.2023.Я не могу начать 3неделю, в связи с невозможностью посетить растения. У нас идут дожди. Как погода восстановится, я поеду навестить моих девочек.

📅 Tag 21: Alle Pflanzen weiter abgebunden/nachgesteckt nachdem die Triebe länger wurden. DARK DEVIL: Sieht aus als hätte sie trotz des Plagron - Terra Growmixes defizite :( Jetzt stellt sich mir nur die frage ob das nicht vielleicht doch einfach nur Lightburns durch die hohe RLF an dem einen Abend sind? Leider kommt mein Cal/Mag von Plagron erst in ein paar Tagen an. 📅 Tag 23: Alle Pflanzen weiter abgebunden/nachgesteckt nachdem die Triebe länger wurden. DARK DEVIL: Topping zeigt seine Wirkung - Untere Seitentriebe so wie 2 Tops wachsen GELATO: FIMing bei der Gelato scheint wirklich verkackt an Tag 19 angekündigt? GG#4: FIMing scheint auch hier verkackt? Ich schau's mir hier die Tage nochmal an, wenns danach wirklich verkackt ist wird die kleine nach etwas Ruhezeit getoppt. 📅 Tag 26: Alle Pflanzen weiter abgebunden/nachgesteckt & Entlaubt. DARK DEVIL: Topping verlief ohne Probleme, ca 1-1,5 Wochen noch bis zur Auto-Blüte. Seitentriebe kommen auch Super. GELATO: FIMing Bei der Gelato lief solala, in verbindung mit frühem LST wärs wohl besser gekommen - aber ich versuch nun das beste draus zu machen. GG#4: FIMing Lief hier "etwas besser" (?) Da LST sogut wie sofort mitgemacht wurde. Seitentriebe Wachsen wunderbar. PH Wert Wasser: 6,45

Day22 both early flowering with healthy with big eater (1000ml per day) . accident broke big branch on strain#2 . Now I push nutrients to 600ppm on same nutrient ratio

The first week of flower

esta Emana cambiaremos el foco a 12horas, y dentro de nada entraremos en l ase de floración . Estiraron muy bien esta semana se notó mucho el trasplante esta semana.

Cambié la iluminación por un sodio de 400w por un par de semanas

So we've hit day 49 with the girls! Everyone seems to be happy. The 2 little runts are now the biggest in the crop, they're super stretchy and about a week behind in flowering. I hope to be able to harvest all the plants at once as I plan to dry in my tent, but if I have to do a staggered harvest then, I guess I gotta do it. Nutes are listed above, everything has been working excellent so far. (I may be trying different coco nutes next run, as I'm suspecting the H&G set I'm using has contributed to the stretchiness of the girls.) UPDATE - DAY 51 - 09/01/21 Everything seems to be just fine at this stage in time. the runts are flowering slowly, so i hope they pick up sometime soon. 1 of the plants(the healthiest since day 1) seems to be a week or so ahead in flower. I'm still hoping to chop the whole tent down at the same time (Fingers crossed!). UPDATE - Day 53 - 11/01/21 The girls seem to be happy today. Pheno type 1 ( plant 1 + 2) - Much more bud production than the rest of the plants. pheno type 2 (plant 3 + 4) - runts of the litter are now the stretchiest out of the lot Pheno type 3 (remainder of plants) are inbetween pheno 1 & 2. I'm still hoping to harvest the majority of the girls at the same time, still have a while to go though :) Thanks for stopping by!

Strawberry Cake Auto has grown good. I battled with ph issues here, and there during the grow. She is really frosty, and has a strong Strawberry Aroma. I will post a harvest video if it allows me. If not it will be on my YouTube channel (link below). She did really good under the Mars Hydro FC4800. Thank you Mars Hydro, and Ganja Farmer. 🤜🤛🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
