Hello Diary, White Widow has completed its last week, the journey has come to an end. Two days after the photo shoot, I harvested White Widow along with her roommates. 73 days since I put the seeds in the ground. 65 days since the start of the vegetation. Really very fast, although it has somehow become the standard on my small farm. But I am still fascinated by how quickly the plant goes through its cycle when it has the most ideal conditions. I don't necessarily mean myself, I try to give the plants the best I can and know how. As you can see in the photos, the result is impressive, White Widow turned out to be a real beauty. This phenotype painted White Widow in purple. The flowers are hard and dense, the branches bend under their weight. One branch even broke when I was setting it up for the photo shoot. That purple color gives it a special look. Some of the leaves have taken on autumn colors, which is also one of the signs that it has matured. This week I continued to observe the samples under the microscope, waiting for the trichomes to turn milky. On the day of the photo shoot, which was day 63, most of the trichomes were milky, some even brown. The smell is very intense, the whole room smells like plants when I open the grow box. I barely wash my fingers after examining the plants. Watering was standard, every three days. This week I stopped adding nutrients, I just lowered the p.H. to 6.0 and water the plants with clean water. After the photo shoot, she was in the grow box for two more days to drink all the water from the soil so that the drying would be more efficient. Before cutting, I removed all the leaves from the plant to also make drying easier and have less work to trim the dried flowers. But also to prevent the formation of potential mold. After cutting, I left her upside down in the grow box to dry. Now I'm waiting for the flowers to dry well and to see how much White Widow has really rewarded me. See you when that happens. Here's what the last week looked like. 19/09/2024 - Day 57. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water, lowered the pH to 6.0 and used that amount to water all three plants on the farm. 22/09/2024 - Day 60. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 24/09/2024 - Day 62. I watered them all with 1.5 liters of water each plant so they would be fresh for the photos. 25/09/2024 - Day 63. End of the last, 9th week since Purple Lemonade began its journey. Photos. 27/09/2024 - Day 65. White Widow has been harvested. That's almost all from me for this diary, the final report that follows after drying and testing remains. Thank you all again for your support and comments.

Welcome to my Milkyway F1 Auto Diary, sponsored by RQS. Summary Pheno 1 Topped & Pheno 2 Untopped Prepariing to flip days 43 (Pre Flower Days 1-5-Days 44-49) Both plants are like clockwork, they're flipping the exact same days, Have vegged the exact same amount of days. Although Pheno 1 is 4 days ahead, I've kept pics of pheno 2 up-to-date with pheno 1 "topped" days. These 2 were hit along with all plants that got fed Mystical Green, "is used to balance PH" i hardly ever need to use it. But instead of using my PH adjuster I used this to bring PH to 6. And within 24hrs it looked as though they'd be starved of mag for a wk that's how far ahead they looked. I flushed both plants, and thankfully they're back on track. I changed everything to Plagron. I took the badly damaged leafs off, as I had to know if the things were getting worse, plagron saved the day. I used Vita Race "Foliar spray" and silic rock to help strengthen the plants. They did take a little step back in their progress but, they're back on track now. Both are looking well. Will carry their war wounds thru their entire grow now, so that's pic appeal out the window, I'm just glad the issue is fixed. Pheno2 The untopped is going to have a lovely colas. She's really compact and her side nodes are developing nicely. Pheno 1, "topped" is also back to herself and has a nice even canopy that is developing nicely also. Heights Pheno 1 "Topped" is at 34.5cm Pheno 2 "untopped" is at 36cm Lights P/SF 1000 set at 100% 45 cm away. As Pre Flower is still a growth stage. PPM/PH Base feeds you need to use a good amount of ML/L. 4ml just pushed my ppm past 500 after Silic Rock, Power roots, pure zym pushed it to 220 and then base nute was used to reach current ppm, with everything the PH sits at 6.4. Although when they're out of pre flower Green Sensation will be given and then a lower dose of Base feed will be required. Terpinator is given in a solo feed, she adds a fair bit ppm wise, 410ppm and 6.1ph. Diet/Defoliation/Flushes At the start of the week. I was giving Terra Power Fire Yields and to even out the PH, I used Mystical Green, and also used it for artios touch for my other plants, and it hit everything hard with what looked like a serious mag issue, even the week old seedling showed symptoms. I flushed everything that was given Terra Power Enzymes and changed everything to Plagron, 3x the value of each pot was given, so the 11L pots got 30L of water. I don't know if was because my Substrate was to warm, but their enzynes had such a negative affect it nearly kilt my girls. Thankfully, a few of plagrons best came to the rescue, Power Roots has restimilated both plants are throwing out brand new roots, "pics above" also vita race was used as a foliar spray, 'meant to be once a week, but as they were so bad they got dosed twice' Silic Rock & Pure Zym were added to their Base nutrient Alga Bloom. Also, for Terp-taste I added Terpinator to their diet. Defoliation was done on day 43 and i had to take a few troubled leafs early into pre flower, as I needed to see was the problem getting worse. They were stalled a few days but have started growing again and are back on track.

Good plant overall, wish it was a bigger plant because bud structure is very nice Had a little bit of spider mites but took care of it quickly, overall handled the heat very well and this one had no bud rot Will run this stain again since I have some more seeds, hoping for a bigger phenotype next time :)

Targona: 43 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 Sixth week of growth for my Auto Melonade Runtz 🍉🥤🍉 Nutrients: BioBizz Bio pH- is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which is naturally found in citrus fruits 🍋🍋 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T.A. FlashClean is a specially designed cleaning system that removes (dissolves) salt residues from fertilizers, but also allows new nutrient binding between plants and the system. Apart from the final flush, this T.A. FlashClean can be used at any time during the plant life cycle 💦💦💚 General: Auto Melonade Runtz 🍉🥤🍉 - The plant does not look healthy. At the beginning, when the leaves first wilted and the first brown spots appeared, I thought I had slightly overfed the plant with nutrients. It's strange because I give the other girls exactly the same ratio of nutrients and they didn't react like this. Maybe it's a less stable seed, I don't know. Anyway, I decided to flush the plant with T.A. FlashClean. I did it 3 times, but unfortunately, the girl keeps turning yellow 🍂🍂😕 Training: At the moment I'm just removing the yellow twisted leaves, some fall off on their own. I probably won't give the girl any more nutrients, only if she shows deficiencies in essential components, which won't be easy to recognize in her condition. 💚😟 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50 cm between the light and the plants, so I move it up regularly 💡💡💡 Thanks for the likes See you soon 😍😍

Flowering described earlier than I expected, more than 1 week after the vegetation phase would be bigger and more beautiful, has an effect with pleasant sensations and euphoric as the sativa dominant is accustomed to the aroma of lemon and citrus.

TRANSITION DAY 11 (9Th July 19): Wow and wow these ladies are going for it now. They both have flower sets forming nicely which i didnt ecpect for another few days at least. I am going to take them to Friday to keep the stretch weeks ( transition) in line with feeds. i dont want to starve the stretch now. I didnstart adding the Sumo boost at 1ml/l as they are flowering and i dont want to starve them of anything they might be asking for now either.The Orange sherbet has a very complex inner structure going on which i feel is the Quadlining. She may suit a more traditio al grow style to get those limbs wide and growing. I will be thinning some of the less useful shoots out once the stretch has finished so she should get lots of light and air for her buds that should be nice and heavy. The Cookie is a lot smaller but does have a lot of growth for it. She hasn't stretched as much as the other ladies but she should still give up a decent yield if treated right. Fingers crossed for her keeping up now. lol Thanks for any comments in advance. have a green day .

Let's dive into the third-week update for our resilient Jelousy, the star of our Power Buds journey. This week is nothing short of a pivotal phase in the life of our green darling, so fasten your seat-belts, and let's embark on this exciting chapter together. Jelousy, our leafy companion, has truly come into her own during this transformative period. Those five-fingered leaves are now the epitome of lushness and vigor. It's as if she's been to the botanical spa, indulging in a little photosynthesis and chlorophyll rejuvenation. The importance of this phase cannot be overstated. You see, during the third week, our plant transitions from her infantile vegetative state into the budding and flowering phase. It's the botanical equivalent of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. Nutrient-wise, we've continued our faithful partnership with Plagron Sugar Royal at a steady 1ml per liter. It's like providing our green champion with the secret recipe to success, ensuring she gets the nourishment she needs to thrive. Now, let's break it down a bit. In this critical phase, our plant is busy laying the foundation for her flowering stage. It's during this time that she's prepping herself to produce those coveted, resinous buds that we all dream about. This phase is marked by a shift in priorities, as Jelousy begins to direct her energy toward developing flowers and, ultimately, a bountiful harvest. Before we sign off, it's imperative to extend our profound gratitude to the benevolent Zamnesia and Plagron for their unwavering support in making this Power Buds journey possible. Their expertise and generosity are the wind beneath our green wings. A hearty shout-out to the incredible Grow Diaries community, the heart and soul of this fantastic adventure. Your knowledge and camaraderie keep our spirits high. To all fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to flourish, and your dreams of a magnificent harvest come true.

So, this is my first grow, just starting out. After NJ passed recreational weed, I was like you know what... Went on an amazon spending spree and got some seeds from cropkingseeds and this is it! I let the seeds soak for 18hr in deer park spring water w/ 1 drop of Organic Liquid Seaweed and Kelp Fertilizer Supplement by Bloom City. At the end of soakage, it didn't look like any had cracked maybe one did not so sure. So I did up the papertowels according to the video and have to say I feel a little nervous/anxious that there is too much water/weight on the seeds and feer drownage. I'm going to keep it on there though. I check the towels a few times throughout the day and am surprised they're very moist throughout the day and next morning still somewhat damp. 24 hours in the towels I check my babies and one had cracked but the rest were still sealed up tight, unwilling to share the goodness that we all so desire, cmon babies crack that shell for papa! 11/12 looked like 1 seed popped, yay! I remoistened towels a bit but didn't wanna soak them. I also put some rapid rooters in water to soak overnight gunna throw the seeds in them in AM... I was going to do it tonight but figured I should wait see if some pop out more. 11/13 OMG upon checking seeds at 07:10 I found the papertowels like bone dry OMG WTF!!! Panic sets in but I just set up the little terrarium with 6 plugs and put the seeds in and tore some plugs off bottom of a plug to cover seedhole with. 11/14 Got a sprout! YES!! The plugs look nice and moist just going to let it go! 11/15 Woke up this mornin, saw a new sprout peeking thru and then another about to! I got ansy and took off the little top plugs and found all the sprouts were coming up! Leaving the top plug off, hopefully thats not a bad idea.

I started germination of 4 Gelat.Og beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their home. Cant wait! Some background information on my experience with Gelat.Og. I've grown this one out several times and I'm just absolutely in love with these genetics. One of the best terp pallets I've came across. Extremely creamy and rich aroma with a kush kick... majestic! She packs amazing bud structure and is a real branchy hauler. She packs a pretty large stretch, about 200% on average. Plus she has a bit longer of a flower time for a indica dominant... in my experience about 11 weeks. She gets a strong demand for more phosphorus mid flower. A good spike with the pk booster and shes happy as Larry! Another Seedsman masterpiece right her! Amped to dive In to this grow.

Es mi primera cosecha de la cual pude sacar 33.5 g secos. Cogollos con una gran consistencia tanto en su volumen como en la cantidad de tricomas elaborados, con un aroma a Alcanfor y pino muy predominante. La verdad una hermosa cosecha que me deja conforme. Una buena cantidad para la muy buena calidad que se obtuvo. Saludos.

👻👻👻👻 x10 timelaps ! Sadly Quickgreen is the slowest to grow compare to the 2 others. It may be due to drops on leaves (good for cinematography but not healthy for the plant)... But she seems to start growing faster.👻👻👻👻 Everything is good, but it is a lot of work, I keep shooting while I try to find the fastest and easiest way to prepare nutrients and to water them... It takes me 1 hours about from start to the record button, per day...
