Day 26 – On the Verge of Flowering We’re now on Day 26 of the grow, and the Sweet Skunk Automatic is entering a critical stage. After nearly four full weeks of vegetative growth, the plant continues to appear healthy and structurally compact. Leaf growth remains vigorous, and the internodal spacing is still tight—a good indicator of strong light exposure and stable environmental conditions. This week marks the likely transition period into the early flowering stage, which typically begins around week 4 to 5 for this autoflowering strain. While no pistils are visible yet, we expect the first signs of pre-flowering to appear within the next few days. Weather Recap & Outlook The past week brought mixed conditions—cool nights and scattered showers slowed growth slightly but didn’t cause any stress symptoms. Now, a more favorable pattern is setting in: • Daytime highs are climbing steadily toward 24–26°C • Nighttime lows remain above 10°C, reducing root zone stress • Plenty of sunshine is forecasted for the coming days, especially mid to late week These improved conditions should provide the perfect push for the plant to fully enter bloom. We’ll be watching closely for the first white hairs and signs of stretching. The stage is set. If everything stays on track, we’ll enter the flowering chapter of this grow very soon

✌️🎃 Thank you for checking my cultivation. ✂️ Last defoliation and LST to receive more light on buds.

Week ten. I started giving booster one week ago, so her flowers are getting better every day. What do you guys think? How does she look? Shall I do more defoliation? But my tent is pretty small too. Consider that while responding, please.

Close to cutting

just finished the stretching phase, now is time to flowering

This cultivation I lost a little bit the size that could reach . 😓 The light stayed too much close of the plant .

New grow and with come its own issues I started nutrients to late and had a heat issue but all that has subsided this week a did a little defoliation and made sure to revamp nutrients

Starting to see trichomes develop, buds are fattening by the day. Video to end the week

started light defoliation and lst, overwatered once 😕 more lst in a few days and update next week 👆

I don't think I could have got 6 of these in my grow space they need a lot of room and airflow. nice strain looking forward to testing the strength.in my TCHECK METER. 18.2% THCa. lesson learned on pruning airflow and RH all very important I caught the bud rot right away I will keep a close eye on the dry and cure for mold. fingers crossed I will not have it. going to do a sulfur burn in tent and garage to reset for next grow. 000

This girl flowers and branches are very heavy Despite not being sugar coated Flowers She is still in development and will become much more heavy . I think that we are looking at probably three more weeks of development to start to check on flower Maturity maybe more but despite being treated Brutally she is a survivor with so much Height she is ideal for our Canadian outside summer. Thank you for reading I continue to update have a happy grow

Week 7 Things are coming along nicely. All the plants are pretty well where I want them. I will likely flip tomorrow. pH 6.0 240 ppm 68 F water temp 71 F tent temp 39% RH Happy Growing

So week 10 starting No 1 (Titan F1)...only synthetic grow...started 2 weeks later in separate tent due to some probs...now see week 7 currently feeding eith the complete hesi starter pack and since one week additionally with Plagron sugar royal, green sensation and power buds No 2 (Cookies gelato) in living soil from florganics...until week 8 only feeded with water....since week 9 additionaly with the three Plagron products as menioned af No1 No 3 (Titan F1) also pure living soil plus water experiment but due to weakness also added the same three Plagron products since middle of week 8 No 4 (Cookies gelato) organic soil light mix from biobizz plus 30% coco...feeded with the biobizz nutrients series...nothing else Tent with No 2, No 3 and No 4 is small...60 x 60 cm ( 2x2)...my goal is 200 gram dry Tent with No 1 is only 40 x 40 cm...here I have expectation 50 - 100 gram dry...let see

Hey everyone An average week. Jack 2 still doing her best and she is whitout a doubt the best girl of this round. All buds are swelling up and are looking very frosty. she is in her final period now. Gave one last feeding with nutrients and from now on its flushing time. By the end of the week (maybe 10 days) I will chop and harvest her. The night/early morning humidity is pretty high too. Around 90%... Wich brings me too NL 1 😪 NL 1 is another story Remember I said last week I found some budrot... Well it has spread to some lower buds too so I decided to end this grow. There will be something left to save but not much. It's not for me anymore too. Gonna give her away. I'm not a fan of plants that have rot in anyway haha. I still can't blame the plant herself. She had rough conditions and a stupid accident caused by me. Still a bit sad because she looked fantastic in the beginning. Oh well Will still do the harvest report next week but not sure if she will be still here then. All focus on Jack 2 now 🙂 Another grow to learn from Happy growing friends, see u next week 😉🙏

3 Days after lollipopping we saw that both runtz are hermaphrodite maybe too much stress but genetics seem to be bad… Now on we check them daily to see if there are any „eggs“ and remove them asap Unfortunately, the brucebanner 3 had a magnesium and calcium deficiency caused by a nutrient blockage. We Head an incorrect PH test. When we checked with another pH test, we found that the pH value was clearly too high at7.5+. Hopefully there will still be something with the harvest… We ordered some calmag and got some ph down by a friend…

1/22 After some conversations I think I’ve determined the source of my issues. Using primarily coco for organics I guess has some drawbacks and it’s possible that’s why each grow has similar problems around this time. Only thing I can think of to do is top dress in some worm castings mixed in with some more Coco Loco to top off the pots, and then tomorrow I’ll water in the compost tea that I just set up to brew. After that I’ll be doing recharge in almost every watering. Going to try maxing out the microbe content for each pot as much as possible. Along with this I’ll be steadily raising the light intensity to where it should be. Current light setting is 490 PAR / 35.2 DLI. 1/23 Top dressed in about 2 cups of Coco Loco and 1 cup of worm castings to both. Since my coco medium isn’t doing a great job of handling organics I’ll just have to turbo charge the microbe level as much as I can. Both also got a compost tea that I started brewing yesterday. Readjusted the light to 600 PAR / 43.2 DLI. I wanted to go gradual but I’m also curious if they will take that hard step up in light. 1/24 Everything looks really good. I have a good feeling so long as I keep up with recharge and water from here on out it should be fine. 1/25 Both got a full watering with recharge. 1/26 Buds getting fatter and frostier. Looks good.

Welcome to week 10! First Time checking trichomes this week but were still far off (~3-4 weeks+). Deficencies are officially under control, theyre not getting any worse by now. Ramped up nutes, next watering will also be 4ml/l of bloom instead of 3. They really started to swell and build mass by now. Despite all the issues in the beginning, im happy with how they look now and i learnt a lot. well, i say lot, mainly just "dont overwater" lol. Didnt defoliate, just watering and checking on them. They smell really good and kinda strong, not overwhelming yet but im 1 inch away from giving them the "strong" here on growdiaries. Timelapse again at the end of the week.

Week 14, looking good. Just trying to keep an even canopy, and upping the feed as and when needed 🙌🏽💚
