From the 15th day I start adding half the norm of Hesi TNT Complex 2ml/L, we test with 210 ppm so as not to burn the roots. On the 18th day, I moved the plant into a larger pot and watered it with half the recommended amount of nutrients and of course, transplanted the plant into a larger pot. On the 21st day, I did LST (Low-Stress Training).

What an incredible grow this has been! It's definitely up there with my best and favorite indoor grows I've done on Grow Diaries so far. It had a strong, resilient and beautiful growth from the first week when it fell all the way to harvest. Definitely an easy plant to grow that had an amazing pay off in the end. I think it's safe to say that anyone could grow this strain with mid level supplies and minimal experience and get good results. If I ran more powerful lights and kept a more comfortable environment (humidity etc) I don't see why my yields couldn't get even better with each grow. Even at the 4 ounces of good smokeable buds and 1 and 1/2 of trim and larf I was very satisfied . After drying and curing the plant had a strong smell with hints of flowers and sweet fruit. The taste was subtle fruity and sweet too. Where the Blue Monkey really shines is with making concentrates. I was able to do a few different projects with it. First I did some rosin pressing where the return rate was just barely under a 20%, which is very good. A 4 gram squish giving .8 gram back, that's the best return I've gotten off just bud, no kief or hash pressing. Then I decided to make some rick simpson oil. Ground buds and trim, decarb it, put it into the jars with high proof alcohol 150+, let it sit and shake overnight and then strain into a dark tincture, then use double boiler with no open flames to evaporate all of the alcohol out, and suck up into some syringes. I got 12 ml total...which is equal to 12 grams of RSO. It was awesome, you can smoke it, use it for edibles, a good diverse concentrate. * Don't forget to make your mom a care package, she'll be happy.💚 All in all this was the most productive, and educational grow I've had all year. Not to mention the plant and buds were just gorgeous! Thank you @exoticseed this was an amazing seed you created.

Switched to flowering. She grew 10cm in 3 days... absolutely crazy. I took the tough decision to discontinue the TimeLapse. My tent is not big enough to have the camera in a place that kinda makes sense. So I'll be taking manual photos in the coming days and uploading those.

Week 10 Marvel: Cherry Cola's Pruned Elegance and Floral Splendor Greetings, fellow cultivators! We've reached the remarkable milestone of Week 10 in the Cherry Cola Auto journey, and the tent is a painting of botanical wonders. Week 5 of the flowering stage has unveiled a need for a strategic defoliation, and our green queen has undergone a meticulous pruning process. Let's delve into the details of this transformative week. As we navigate through Week 5 of the flowering stage, the Cherry Cola Auto is a testament to the magic of autoflower cultivation. The buds are evolving, and the tent is permeated with the tantalizing aroma of a promising harvest. The journey thus far has been a delight, and the best is yet to come. In response to the flourishing canopy and to optimize light penetration, a strategic defoliation became imperative. The decision to remove excess foliage was not only about enhancing light exposure to critical bud sites but also promoting better airflow and reducing the risk of potential mold or pest issues. The defoliation process involved removing larger fan leaves, allowing the lower branches to receive their fair share of light. In addition to defoliation, a meticulous bottom cleaning ritual took place. Removing the lower, less productive growth not only redirects energy to more crucial upper buds but also eliminates potential sites for moisture retention and pest harborage. This step is crucial in maintaining a healthy, well-ventilated environment as we approach the final weeks of flowering. The defoliation and bottom cleaning were conducted with surgical precision. It's not just about removing leaves; it's a delicate dance of preserving the plant's natural grace while maximizing its potential. The result is a pruned elegance that showcases the structural beauty of Cherry Cola's budding architecture. Our nutrient regimen, with P-Boost, Topbooster, and the strategic addition of Potassium (K), continues to be the backbone of this flourishing spectacle. The phosphorus boost and organic grace provided by Topbooster, combined with the potassium magic, are orchestrating a symphony of blooming processes that bode well for the upcoming harvest. The TDS reading, now at 550, reflects the balanced nutrient environment, ensuring the plant's nutritional needs are met. Maintaining an ideal pH balance of 6.4 ensures that the nutrients are readily available to the plant. This harmony in pH contributes to optimal nutrient absorption and supports the overall health and vigor of our Cherry Cola Auto. As we prune and nurture, the tent is filled with an aroma extravaganza. Cherry Cola's terpene profile is becoming more pronounced, promising a sensory delight in the final product. The olfactory journey is a precursor to the flavors and effects that await. As Week 10 unfolds, Cherry Cola Auto stands as a pruned prelude to harvest, a testament to the meticulous care and strategic decisions throughout the journey. The mood is set for the final act, and we eagerly anticipate the culmination of this horticultural odyssey. Stay tuned, fellow enthusiasts, as the Cherry Cola Chronicles approach their grand finale! Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_ Love, Care, and Attention: @dogdoctorofficial As always, thank you all for joining me on this journey, for your love, and for it all. My horticultural odyssey would never be the same without you. Your love and support are cherished, and I feel both honored and blessed to have you in my life Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love To you All 💚 💚 💚

Хороший сорт, приятно пахнет с приятным мягким эффектом. В выращивании очень не любит перепады температур. На тренировки типа LST и Supercropping реагирует положительно!

2024-06-22 Yesterday i had to Harvest them, weather was very bad . The are having tropical Climate in the raintime, very Humid and rainy, sometimes changes to cold and windy so very bad Season until now. They would have needed 7 days more to ripe perfect. But they started to mold. so i harvested them quickly, and sorted out all moldy stuff this is very sad. Buds are more open and supersticky. you can see with eyesight the loooong and dense Trichomes, iam going to add more Pics if they are cured and i add some Pics from the microscope. i give this Strain 8 from 10 Points for Outdoor Growing, because of their tendency to catch mold , despite the fct they were under a Roof, But yeah we had avery cold, rainy and humid Season i really like to grow them again, but indoors!!! because of their Juicyness

They got a Magnesium deficiency and it was time to change the water and give them nutrients. The next day they showed a explosive growth. By the end of the week they should be Back on track. Nice. Its Day 21 and I decided to top 3/4. I give them one day to recover and going to do some LST

Welcome to My Synthetic + Organic Auto Cinderella Jack Diary. Thanks to Dutch-Passion for supplying my with great seeds to enter this contest. Much appreciated. Into the last week of this grow. Both plants have eaten up and completely finished and nice and ripe. And another few days. I'll harvest these pretty ladies. Again, it seems my Synthetic nutrients, isn't working just yet. But I know I'll get there. Really happy with the organic. Huge cola and side cola, not the biggest of plants, but grown very quickly and the amount of frost is nothing to scoff at. I'm very happy with the results. These are some of my 1st autos I've not topped. They do make for a much nicer shape. But, I just can't say for sure, if topping, (done right) is a better thing to do for some autos.. I'm hoping the quality and thc will be there. As there was no stress, other than the Synthetic pigment mutation that wouldn't of caused much harm to her. The buds/colas are just a 1/5 of the size. But, they are far from larfy and airy. Some pretty nice dense sticky nugs to look forward to from the Synthetic and big ass colas from the organic, best of both worlds. I done some light defoliation to make sure everything ripens up in this last push. But, looking throughout everything is past the 30% amber trichs and everything is 95%+ cloudy. Am going to leave them for the next week. I'll add pics and add another week for my harvest, and after I've tested and tried I'll give a G/W, much appreciated. Thanks for tuning in.

Greetings, thanks for taking a look at my post 😄 The third week of flowering begins today, and these blueberry mystery crosses are looking pretty decent, bud production is coming along at around the rate I usually expect in this tent, and the plants look nice and healthy. I'd like the humidity to be a bit higher and am adding cups of tap water to the spill tray to help out. Lots of leaves, but I'm going to wait a bit before doing any defoliation, probably not till next week. Please let me know if you have any comments, questions, pointers, or anything you notice that I might not have. Thanks so much 🙏

d32 Están creciendo sin ninguna carencia, engordando los tallos que están bastante gruesos sacando buenas hojas, la Melon Gum me gustan sus hojas bastante anchas. Se van a trasplantar a una maceta de 2LT hasta que pare la temporada de lluvia y se puedan sacar sin problemas al exterior. La que parece que va ganando en cuanto a Vigor de crecimiento, es la LSD seguida de Mimosa Evo y después Melon Gum, Meganuska entró 5 días después por lo que se nota esa diferencia. He rotado las posiciones de la plantas para distribuir mejor la luz entre todas y que las más altas no tapen a las más bajitas. d33 Se han trasplantado a maceta de 2L, y se han regado un poquito con agua para bajar el estrés del trasplante y se pongan ya a expandir raíces, en un par de días tendremos más fotos. He levantado la Meganuska un poco para que no estire en altura, LSD la he enterrado un poco más que el resto ya que era un poco más alta, ahora están a nivel. La diferencia entre 5 días de Meganuska con el resto de plantas, si que se nota si, con tan solo 5 días la diferencia en que tiene un nudo menos, pero donde más se puede apreciar es la raíz, en la Meganuska no llega al final de la maceta y parece que tiene poblada hasta la mitad, pero el resto de plantas, llegan hasta el final, ahun que no lo recubran del todo.

Semana 12 de los esquejes y su primera semana de floración, en realidad llevan 9 días de flora. Hago los riegos 1/1, uno solo con agua(EC: 0.4) y el otro con los fertilizantes. En los riegos estoy utilizando Sensi cal-mag para llegar a una EC base de 0.4 y luego aplicar los fertilizantes. Regulo el PH con los reguladores de BioBizz. Por lo demás todo va bastante bien, las dos plantas van con buen aspecto y sin posibles carencias, espero que todo siga así. Seguimos con todo la flora!! Cualquier recomendación será bien recibida!!
