Since that day I treated her soooo bad: just sometimes water, nearly no fertilizer, placed her inside a tent, in a glass house and sometimes even outside for days... I totally forgot when she started to bloom or how long she was even growing.

Week 11! Day 77. Gotta be nearing the final lap now. Old fan leaves are turning yellow & pistils are turning brown. I did a few trial runs of "ice flushing" but with just one ice cube at a time last week lol. Maybe 2-3 cubes per day. Figured it'd help imitate colder conditions outdoors if nothing else. Still doing the slow, small waterings as she definitely prefers them to dumping a whole bottle-and-a-half in there at once. The smell is more noticeable than before, but still not where you'd expect for the size & maturity. My smaller plants both smelled stronger, and MUCH earlier. One of them was a Solo cup grow all the way to the end & neither exceeded a paltry 4.3 grams dry. (Maybe I've just had COVID one too many times since then but this plant is as odor-free as can be). Frost level is moderate compared to popular strains & bud sites are abundant which is my main concern. I don't smoke weed for the taste or smell, though I know terps play a role in the final effects. This girl couldn't smell any LESS like Skittles, berries or chocolate if it tried, leaning much farther in the skunky/pungent direction. Planning to do a wet trim & staggered harvest, cutting the top into 3 sections 24 hours apart to hopefully avoid/reduce stress. Then I'll leave the bottom part to grow another week or so. With a plant this tall and lanky, there is a real difference in maturity of buds. Plus my lights are weak af. Not sure how I'll get the temps down in the 60-70 degree range for for TWO separate drying periods, but we'll try. (I'm cold-natured & would have to run the AC 24/7 since it's still warm & muggy here, and that gets expensive. But I'll also have my ceiling & oscillating fans, some baking soda to absorb moisture & windows to open on cool nights. Gotta keep the temp AND humidity in the right range! I looked at her the morning after applying a small amount of potassium humates & noticed a bunch of brown rusty spots on the upper sugar leaves. So I cut them off. Would be curious to know what it most likely is though. Also found a dead bug on her. Little black thing with wings... looks like he died happy lol. 10/29/25: Ice flush + stem-splitting initiated. Next is 24 hours of light before adding more ice (half as much, if that) plus 36 hours in the dark before (partial) harvest. Landlord scare this morning had me scrambling to hide everything! Hence the bent cola on top--she wore the black garbage bag "hat" again lol. No bottle/chemical nutes so this isn't technically a "flush" in every sense... more of an end-of-life stressor/imitation of outdoor conditions (if we weren't frying due to climate change, heh). Hoping this staggered harvest thing works out. I wouldn't likely be doing it if not for the time crunch & fact that I need to whittle this plant down to a more manageable size. Next few days should be eventful, check back. 😉

She's been drinking a lot of water recently about a gallon a day with very little run off and the buds are starting to fatten up as a result. I'm gonna need to find a way to prop them up. So i don't get my heart broken again. Still producing frost. Each day im amazed every time I open the tent. The trichomes are about 5% amber so we still have 2 or 3 weeks to go. The struggle is real Although we've decided to use Gaia Green the next run Emerald Harvest has been great and definitely has a place in our garden.

The gelato Is the strongest in the garden, She handled the transplant very well. I put her for flower under the lumatek attis 300W. I defoliated a bit to let the canopy spread, awesome structure. By now i use only water with adjusted pH because i put the organic pellet from RQS in the soil of the new fabric pot.

First time taking clones. Took 6 and 6/6 rooted. Put 5 in the grow tent and eventually took one out to make space for the dehumidifier.

Our Critical Cheese Automatic #1 from Zamnesia Seeds is ready and is a pure spectacle of nature. It's truly grown with love. I really liked how I cleaned up the lower parts of the plant, eliminating unnecessary growth but giving the top buds plenty of strength, which turned out really well, aligned, and very uniform. The main cola is truly large and majestic. Maturity Levels - The resin content is excellent. The trichomes are mostly white and milky, with some clear and quite amber hues. Some very beautiful red-headed trichomes are quite common. The pistils are almost all red. The overall shape of the plant is truly beautiful. Techniques Chosen: As mentioned, here we only did pruning, lollipopping, and defoliation. Basically, we just cleaned up the lower parts, which, as mentioned, helps us achieve better results at the top. We have another plant processed using LST, which you can find in recent diaries. We're 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we've chosen is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to start with smoother and more reliable watering, without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week's worth of soil is enough, so don't overdo it. Choose your preferred style and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Visit the new Growshop area on the Zamnesia website: Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop A fantastic strain, not too tall but very bushy! Give it a try! Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/3329-zamnesia-seeds-critical-automatic-feminized.html Z - Not happy with what they already had in their hands, the expert breeders at Zamnesia Seeds wanted to embark on a journey into the world of autoflowering genetics, aiming to improve a great British classic... the Cheese cannabis strain. They crossed Critical with a high-quality Cheese specimen, enriched with a significant amount of Ruderalis. The result is an extremely potent, therapeutic, and easy-to-grow autoflowering version. This new improved strain has been named Critical Cheese Automatic. Critical Cheese Automatic embodies everything that made the original Cheese so famous, acclaimed, and beloved around the world. We're talking, of course, about the skunky flavors and pungent aromas this strain unleashes, not to mention the overwhelming effects it induces. Lovers of the original Cheese will surely appreciate this feminized reincarnation. Smoking Critical Cheese Automatic produces exceptionally powerful sensations for an autoflowering strain. Its effects are quite strong and highly physical, both in intensity and duration. With these properties (or "body") in mind, it's no wonder so many medical users are the first to want to get their hands on this "skunky" plant. Those suffering from chronic pain, inflammation, stress, anxiety, and migraines (to name just a few of the ailments it can alleviate) will notice their symptoms diminish, if not disappear completely, thanks to this strain's potency. With this autoflowering "upgrade" of Cheese, even novice growers can achieve excellent results. It's a vigorous plant, incredibly easy to grow, and requires little maintenance. Commercial growers looking to generate income will appreciate Critical Cheese Automatic primarily for its life cycle: from germination to harvest in just 10 weeks. When grown correctly, it can produce harvests of 120-150g per plant. In addition to its excellent yields, Critical Cheese Automatic reaches a rather compact size (1 m), making it highly suitable for any type of grow. That said, Critical Cheese Automatic only thrives when grown outdoors in warm climates (like those of Spain or Italy). So, in conclusion, whether you're a beginner, veteran, or commercial grower, Critical Cheese Automatic offers great satisfaction to everyone. You know it, but I recommend it. You'll find so much beauty here, essentially "the best nature has to offer." Z - www.zamnesia.com Music // www.radionula.com + Feng Shui Music + Frequency 432Hz

Amazing progress across the board in the tent the last week. Development has been positive for The New and Black Dog, Bubba has swollen up bud wise, and it’s still another week away or so (flowering is supposed to be 50-55 and we’re at 50 today). Chemdawg smell is getting stronger but not too aggressive, and it’s fate king nicely on most colas. Even at the bottom of the plant the buds look nice. It’s an amazing strain, can’t wait to smoke it.

😈👹😈👹 DARK DEVIL AUTO®️!!! 😈👹😈👹 Finally getting around to a strain I’ve been dying to grow! I’m hoping for a successful germination rate, keeping my fingers crossed!🤞 For these girls I’ll be growing in two different mediums with a variety of nutrients and amendments from various brands. Of course as always, all inputs are 100% organic. No synthetics allowed in my garden! Two Dark Devils will be grown in Nectar For the Gods #4 Soil Mix and the other who will be grown in Malibu’s Baby Bu’s Potting Soil. Both of these mediums are considered premium and only have the best quality inputs. Both soils also contain coco coir. In my experience I have found that autoflowers grow so much better in soil mixed with coco. Anytime that I’ve grown in heavier based peat soils I get much smaller root balls and root mass in general compared to coco/peat mixed mediums. The NFG #4 is a much lighter substrate than the Bu’s because it’s filled with a ton of perlite and pumice. One benefit is that it also has basalt so it’s considered “paramagnetic”. The one thing I added to the NFG mix was organic Bio-Char blend made from Build A Soils bio char and locally sourced organic bio char. The Baby Bu’s medium is 100% Coco Coir based, mixed with their biodynamic compost, worm castings, bio char, and tons of other beneficial ingredients. This medium is slightly heavier than the NFG even though the NFG is peat and coco based. It really comes down to there being less aeration material in the Bu’s blend compared to the NFG. But hopefully the coco will make up for the lack of aeration compared to the Nectar #4. A benefit claimed by both companies is that their products are properly mixed and stored so the customer does not receive “HOT” soil. The mediums come lightly pre-amended but believe that the Baby Bu’s will have more nutrients than the NFG #4 mix as they claim their soil is an “all mix”. I will be feeding the plants with living oxygenated water, microbial inoculants and light compost teas until the plants look like they need more food. This is my first time growing in both mediums so we’ll see as I grow along! I will also be adopting the northern lights technique that I’m using on my Banana Blaze grow diary! Update: 12/16 All four seeds broke ground around the same time at 9:00pm. 100% successful germination rate. Let’s see how they progress into the vegetative state. Update: 12/18 one out of four seeds may be showing signs of damping off. All four were growing straight as an arrow but today one is slightly slouched and leaves are allowing water to soak in. This usually isn’t a great sign! Update: 12/19 Took the suspected damping off seedling out of her humidity dome and she improved overnight. She is the only one with a greenish colored stem while the other three all have distinctive red/brownish stems similar to other purple strains I have grown. Thanks for stopping by! 😈

This was a beautiful strain to grow. With her flowers getting big towards the end of harvest as well as the purple colours! I would definitely recommend that you try grow this strain. The buds are super dense and very well formed. An absolute treat to smoke and look at.
