Hello Diary, Cherry Pie has completed the fourth week of flowering, the 7th week since the beginning of the vegetation. Now I can already say that we are approaching the grand finale. The plant looks really great, the large flowers have covered the branches and are starting to bend under the weight. The main cola is completely covered with flowers and looks impressive. The smell of Cherry Pie is now very intense, when I open the grow box the smell takes over the whole room even though the ventilation is still working. The leaves are still a healthy green color, it is obvious that the new nutrients Bio Grow and Bio Bloom Fertilizer are doing their job. The conditions on the Farm are good, the temperature is around 28 degrees while the humidity is below 50%. Watering is still almost every other day, they still need a lot of water. I continued to add CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertilizer with each watering. I am super pleased and happy to see how Cherry Pie looks, she really reciprocated my efforts to provide them with the best conditions I can. Here is a short review of the past week. 06/09/2024 - Day 44. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water, added CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertiliser and lowered the pH to 6.0. With that amount of water I watered all three plants on the "Farm". 08/09/2024 - Day 46. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as two days earlier. 10/09/2024 - Day 48. Watering. Same procedure. 11/09/2024 - Day 49. End of the 7th week from the beginning of the vegetation, or the fourth week of flowering. Photographing and measuring the height of the plants. Cherry Pie - Day 49. - 73 cm. That's all from me for this week, next week I will photograph them on a black background. See you soon and thank you all for your comments.

WEEK 16 - (06/13/2021 - 06/19/2021) Week 8, Day 50 - FLOWER: 06/13/2021 After inspecting the trichome development for the last 7-10 days or so, I’ve decided that today would be the ideal time to begin flushing. The American Pie #1 does not look like it’s ready to begin flushing quite yet, as she appears to be about a week behind in maturity. Despite that, I’ll still begin flushing her today too. Recycled water: 70ppm, 69℉ + pH Up: 7ml Mixture: 95ppm, 6.4 pH, 69℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 895/800, 6.1 pH AP#1 - 529/434, 6.5 pH AP#2 - 365/270, 6.7 pH GC#1 - 624/529, 6.3 pH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 8, Day 51 - FLOWER: 06/14/2021 Did a trichome check on the plants today. Spent more time with the Jelly Banana to better determine her maturity level. She actually looks like she is ready to harvest today. I’d say trichomes are 75-80% milky, with an amber trichome here and there. I’m going to try and push her through at least one more low-ppm watering and test the runoff. If I start seeing more amber trichome development, I will cut her down. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 8, Day 54 - FLOWER: 06/17/2021 Recycled water (8 gallons): 69ppm, 5.8 pH, 70℉ + HydroGuard: 8ml + pH Up: 3ml Mixture: 82ppm, 6.0 pH, 70℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 688/606, 6.5 pH GC#1 - 602/520, 6.5 pH AP#2 - 633/551, 6.9 pH AP#1 - 685/603, 6.5 pH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [SUMMARY] I expect this to be my last full week of flower. All the girls are looking ripe for the chopping. The aroma that bursts out of the tent when I unzip it every time is heavenly. American Pie #1 is still about a week behind in maturity, but she will get cut down with the other plants regardless. Jelly Bananen started to turn a lime green color so she'll probably get chopped and hung up in the next few days when my second tent arrives (4x2 AC Infinity). That wraps up this week! See you ladies and gentleman in the next entry. 🙏

This plant is perhaps the best autoflower I grew so far. Despite my limited experience i think the genetic performed exceptionally well. I did basically nothing to it in terms of nutrients or training and it turned out so good. Especially at night the frost is so nice. I harvested the top part, because a lot of amber trichomes were visible already. The lower buds still need at least a week I think. Will keep you posted with the rest of the harvest and a smoke report Happy growing

Salut a tous, nous sommes à la 7ème semaine de floraison tout ce passe bien les tête on pris en densité c'est une semaine fraîche la température de la tente a diminuer mais sans incidents toujours dans la plage optimale. Je pense que 2 a 3 semaine suffiront pour que les bourgeons soit mûre pour pouvoir récolter cettte dame. J'ai commencé le flush de advanced nutrients en fin de semaine est l'odeur es agréablement bon a sentir elle à envahit toute l'appartement. Va bientôt faire le concours du mois sponsorisés par Ganja farmer seed. J'ai jeté un œil au trichomes celle-ci sont encore prématuré.

Finally got the humidity under control — turns out the issue was in the lung room. I gotta vent during the day to fight off the heat and keep it closed at night. Other than that, she’s starting to bulk up nicely and getting real sticky. Did a bit of defoliation too.

Ok this was my first grow and I made mistakes. -forgot to buffer coco - nutrient burn -started the manlining to early - probably worried to much about every stage these plants. -ended up with fungus gnats And probably appt more I can’t rmeber in the moment. But i learned so much from all of my mistakes and spent so much time researching and seeing in real time how these plants react and grow. I did do some experimentation just a normal top with one blue dream. I topped twice one another blue dream and did a 3 times topped on all the blue dreams and I see why you should at least top three times the eight main colas and spread out the plant I see some of the buds on the one I only topped once not matured at all because there was minimal light other buds were growing so fat it suffocated it basically. I could have probably defoliated and manliness better but ayy. Beginners wil make Mistakes and I’m happy with what came out of these girls. Not excited for trim hail but I am at the same time 😅😅

Week 3 day 7. Buds are getting icey and stretching around 1-2” a day. Dropped the carboload and is going to be replaced by a PK booster (big bud). Watering everyday. Plain RO on every 3rd water. The kind LED is pissing on the hps if im being honest. Bud development and vigor seems a lot nicer. Stay baked.

she is pushing through the initial HST fimming very well. Nothing seems to slow her down. I am starting 1/4 strength nutes now to help her push through the stress. I also initiated some LST and tied her up, pulling down the branching. The fim job has produced a tripple top crown cola, top new side tops, and 2 new internodal branches, that will be tops down the line. Things are getting interesting folks! Stay tuned!

May 5, 2024 Day 15 This week we will be focusing on getting the plants into their 3 gallon containers. That should be happening this afternoon when I'm up for it, or tomorrow. However, some roots are starting to show on the sides and the plants are starting to get a bit big for the Germination Center. There's still a this one small plant. It seems to just be a smaller plant. I don't know if I'm going to keep it. Just a waste of soil I think. Speaking of Sour Diesel, all four plants are really healthy. The three normal sized ones are all the same size. Same everything. I can't wait to see how they come out. Still nothing to do with individual plants. They are still too young. I increased the light power to 100%. They all seem to be loving the light, so why not treat them. Plus they will only be in that light for another few hours to a day. Still no idea what the DLI is. I don't have a PAR map to to refer to. So it's mostly guess work. So I'm guessing by the look of the plants, they don't mind at all. The environment is still spot on. The temp is hovering around 77° and the humidity is still at 84%. I'm assuming the night temp is around 75°, but the light is on and the heat mat is going. When I plant them, I'm going to have to work the heat and humidity in the 2x2. Happily, this size tent is a pain to keep dry, and I don't need dry, I need humid at least for the next 2 weeks. Then they should be going in the 3x3 with the better light and more space. Perfect. Update: it's mid afternoon and all 4 babies have been planted in their final 3 gallon containers. Watered in and easy to go. I'm using a 100 watt light for now while I wait for the other plants to finish. Still deciding if I want to keep the small one or not. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 78.3° RH: 85.6% VPD: unknown May 6, 2024 So I measured all 4 plants today. 3 of the 4 are 4" flat with the final one being at 3". I already have her in the final container, but if she doesn't catch up soon, I may put her in the 2x2 tent for a solo grow so she doesn't get cannibalized. I have to wait though. I have plants that are days from harvest, so I'll have to wait a couple of weeks to get her in there. When that time comes, I'll separate her daily entries so everyone knows what's actually going on. I won't be basing the weekly stats on her though. She will be separate. I finally labelled each plant. A,B,C and D. You guessed it, D is the small one. I'll be doing daily entries for each once I start seeing more veg. Watering should be the same, lighting and environment will also be the same for A,B,C and different for D. So just a note for each plant daily. The light has been turned on in the 2x2 where these babies love for now. It's a 100 w Mars Hydro TS600. I don't really like using it, it's only 100 w. Which will be fine for the time being, but I prefer my better 3x3 240 watt AC Infinity light. DLI readings for this set up is just under 20 mol/m²/d. Should be good right there for the time spent in here. The environment is stable at 78% humidity and a temperature of 76°. I'll keep it that way for the rest of this week and see how things go next week. I'll most likely bring the humidity down to 60%. But I'd like to keep the temp up. I've read that Sour Diesel likes heat. Apparently it likes humid and dry climates. Which makes absolutely no sense to me, but whatever. I'll keep it at 60% in veg and then drop it 5% at a time until late flower and 40% will be the where it ends. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76° RH: 78% VPD: unknown May 7, 2024 I finally added a hydrometer that will read properly and works. All 4 ladies look great. I'm still concerned about the small one. I'm willing to bet, I'll end up placing it in the 2x2 for the solo grow I was talking about before. A,B,C all look the same. They are about 5" tall now and have 3 nodes. D on the other hand is just behind. Only 2 nodes and generally smaller. The light was a bit out of whack. It wasn't level and was pulling super hard to the back of the tent. I fixed that though. I think the DLI is around 20 mol/m²/d. It should be good for this stage. I'll definitely have to drop the light down t A bit when they get a little older. I'd like to see 25 mol/m²/d before going in the main tent. The environment is alright. The temp was a bit low this morning. The humidity was also at 61%. Definitely too low for these ladies. It should be up to 70% in a couple hours. The temp already bumped up to 78°. Now I just need to get a humidifier in there. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.8° RH: 65.6% VPD: 1.01 kPa May 8, 2024 Watering day! So for the first full watering I gave everyone a half gallon of water PHed to 6.0 from the top. I use a stick, so it takes a good bit of time to do it, but I don't need to wait for the soil to absorb. It does so gradually as the water is added gradually. There seems to be 2 different phenomes. A and D are one with B and C being the other. A and D have fatter leaves, but they are a bit droopy. Not in a stressed out way. Maybe they needed a bit of water. Not sure, but they look the same besides the height difference. Speaking of D, I have officially decided to keep her and finish her in a solo 2x2 grow. I just need to wait a few weeks while the other 4 plants are harvested and dried up. In the mean time, I'll keep her in the 3x3 when it gets moved there. Maybe I'll keep her there if she can keep up with the rest. I'm not sure. It's honestly too early to tell. A, B and C are still all the same height with A being a slightly different structure. I'll check back later to see how they take to the watering. I don't think a half gallon of water in a 3.4 gallon container will be any problem. It will moisten the whole container to probably about 45% saturation. When the bottom feeding starts in a few weeks, the saturation should go up to 55%. And it should hang out here until the last week or so of the grow. It may spike a bit because the plants doesn't need that much water anymore, but we will cross that bridge when we get there. The light seems to be perfectly fine for these ladies. In a few days, I'll pull a DLI reading and see where it needs to be. I still feel like these babies are still establishing themselves. Anyway, for another day. The environment was really good for a while. Now that I have them out of the Germination Center, I needed to figure out the humidity. The solution is a small humidifier. Works perfectly. We have a temp of 77° and the humidity is around 79%. Perfect for this stage. It could stand to be a bit warmer, but this is fine. Plus it should get a bit warmer today after the watering. Science and all that. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 71.5% VPD: 0.84 kPa Note: these numbers are daily averages including lights out. It gives a better idea of what both temps look like. For example. 74.5° is less than 77°, so the night temp much drop below 74° for a 6 hour average to drop the daily so much. But there's a lot to learn once you get the jist of it. May 9, 2024 Not a bad day. These ladies, even D, are looking great. Good leaf structure, fantastic color. Just all around some nice plants. They seem to really like the DLI. I'll be taking that reading tomorrow. The plants haven't grown enough to record it more than once a week. So lighting stays the same. The environment is fantastic. Right within range of not nearly perfect. The temp is around 76° and the Humidity is around 73%. It doesn't fluctuate much, but it still does. Naturally, I expect fluctuations, so I'm not worried about it. As I said, right within range. On the other hand, last night's temp dropped entirely way too low for this stage. I'll have to figure out a happy medium for my room heat and night time temps. Also, you can clearly see the drop in the leverage temp from yesterday. It's super low. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.1° RH: 77.5% VPD: 0.66 kPa May 10, 2024 Not much going on today. No watering needed. The light looks perfectly fine. Also, the plants are each started to grow at their own pace and size. While A,B and C are the same height, B is slightly ahead of the others. Strong stem and starting to grow side branches and another node. D looks like she may catch up after all. She's still not as big as the others, but the slight difference looks like it will either work itself out in veg, or I will just let her get bigger during the stretch with less training. I don't think I'm going to use a SCroG net this run. I plan on ordering silica to improve stem strength. I think a SCroG net works better in larger setups when you have multiple plants. My tent is just too small to work 4 plants in a SCroG setup. I can only access the front of the tent and the back and sides get neglected. So training and silica it is. As I said above, no watering needed today. However, I did reactivate the wick system for Tropicana Cookies today. She was drying out fairly quickly, so hopefully with the dryer container, it takes more time for the bottom to saturate. The lighting is staying the same. I'll check it at the beginning of next week. Although, with a tent this size and lack of space for the light, I'd just assume let the plants grow into it. Maybe I'll drop it to 24" when I see 4 nodes on all plants. The environment looks great! Cooler at night and nice and warm during lights on. The day temp is about 77° with a humidity of 66%. The night temp is 67° with a humidity of 78%. The humidity is a bit high, but I don't have an automated exhaust system like I do in the 3x3. I may turn the the exhaust on before I go to bed, but then the morning time will be dry before I wake up. Only for 2 hours, but still. The fluctuation is definitely not welcome. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 73.6% VPD: 0.78 kPa The VPD is a bit low. But that's due to the night time environment which I'll be adjusting tonight. May 11, 2024 Last day of the week for these 4. They have grown significantly over this week. Excellent leaf growth, beautiful green. All 4 plants look fantastic. Perfect structures. I can't ask for better. D is still a bit smaller, but is catching up. I don't expect her to stay small forever. I believe she will grow the same size at the end of the flowering stretch. B seems to be the largest, or most advanced, of the bunch. She is definitely ahead by a node, and a bit taller than the rest. However, her stem is a bit shorter than the rest. A and C both have longer stems, but lacking the robust growth of B. A and C are about the same. Nearly identical. These could be the same phenotype. With B and D being separate phenotypes. This coming week, I'll start reporting on the plants individually. It's a bit more work, but much more organized and easier to read. The light is definitely where it needs to be. I'll check DLI tomorrow. The environment is still near perfect. However, it was a bit low this morning. Apparently I didn't set the heat high enough. It's fixed now. The temp is around 77° and the humidity at 70%. No watering today. The pots are still fairly heavy. I think I'll water again tomorrow or test to see how moist the soil is. If I water tomorrow, I think it will only be a quarter gallon. Everything looks good and that's all there is to report today. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 72.3% VPD: 0.79 kPa

I wanted to try and keep these all in the same "schedule" so i didnt consider day 1 Till the last straggler popped up probably at least 1-2 days later then the rest. So its 1-2 days fluxuation between popping most where opened up by day 2-3 after burying Also side note currently for the pop i am using 4 1,500 lumen 2,500K CFl and 1 800 lumen 5,000K CFL

So the net is installed, lets wait until it is full covered and then going into bloom. I make this time a trial only to feed the Organe sherbet with Melass yeast buddermilk and sugar in vegetation. The yeast will produce the whole grow enough co2 to keep it up about 800 ppm only thing you have to do is to put some sugar in the feeding solution.

It was probably the hottest week of the year with a maximum of 34° C, a lot of water had to be administered, especially the Frisian Dew in the pot. On the other hand, I continue to enjoy the good appearance of the plants, with no pests, caterpillars, aphids or similar to be found so far. Even the slugs are no longer interested in the leaves, there are now so many flowers in the garden that simply taste better. As the flowering that I have read about already begins with the pre-flowering, I can say that all the plants in this report are flowering. Only the Durban Poison is by far the fastest and is already producing buds and seeds. As I had used regular seed for the Durban Poison, I fertilised it with pollen from a remaining male Durban Poison. The seed pods are already visible and look promising. The Durban Poison flowers are purple in depth, at least in my phenotype, and it doesn't need as much water as Frisian Dew and Shaman. The Shaman and Frisian Dew in the garden are showing their best side and continue to grow diligently, they need much less water than the others, probably due to roots that reach deep down. Do Durban Poison, Frisian Dew and Shaman actually have tap roots? However, I would really like all the plants to start producing flower buds now, as it is already mid-August. Durban Poison 168 cm Frisian Dew in Pot 236 cm Frisian Dew in garden 201 cm Shaman in pot 160 cm Shaman in garden 197 cm
