10/17/2018 Last bit of defoliation,supercropping finished up,and now let her do her thing

I apologize upfront for all the photos. It was hard to pick which ones to upload, so I picked a good variety. There is gonna be between 4-6 pounds once dried/cured. These were all super dense and very little larf. This was a higher temp/higher humidity run with lots of co2 and they blew up big. It’s been a minute since I’ve grown a cola or 2 that were bigger than my arm…this time there was dozens of them. Each plant was only topped one time. The temps were usually mid 80’s and humidity in the mid 60’s during flower. This might seem high to some, but learning to apply VPD to a grow should not be trial and error, in other words, this was intentional. It’s not risky either. During the first 6 to 7 weeks of flower it is very important to not let your night time temps to go below 75 degrees. POWDERY MILDEW=LOW TEMPS AND HIGH HUMIDITY. Take one of these away and there will not be any powdery mildew! Do not let your temps go below 75! The last 2 weeks I dropped the humidity to 40% and my night temps to mid 60’s for resin production. A couple of thing one should have to create large buds is a temperature gun(for leaf temp), a par meter and co2. Keep the stomata open and feed lots of co2=huge buds. Learn about VPD and not just a quick google search! When it’s dry and cured I’ll be back for an update on weight, taste and effects. Currently the plants are drying in the room at 60 degrees and 60% humidity until I can get in there to trim them. Might be 2-3 weeks. Thanks again for all the likes and comments!

Week 7 of 9 for Do-si-dos, this strain is running 1 week longer than the others. Overall she's the least nutrient hungry of the group and shows the least amount of deficiency. Still, I fed her and extra liter last week. August 1 - added close up pictures.

Test

Harvest day! This is my first autoflower ever and after 66 days this is what I got. Now it's hanging to dry for a dry trim. Definitely not the best, but feeling happy with the outcome. Even with some major feeding mistakes, I managed to finish her. Learned so much. I will update with the final weight and a strain review!

1-9 Watered 3x, starting flush. 1-11 Day 67 from seed Day 43 of flower Boosted Scc and cal/mag Small shot ppm 550 ph 6.2 1-12 Started 3x flush. Ppm brought down to about 200. 1-14 Feed Scc ppm 550. Same as last feed. Leaves showing fading. .

Alright, it's the end of week 2 veg and we're starting to take off! Have you ever seen a plant with the mutation mine has? She doesn't have a main stalk lol but instead has two! Plus her fan leaves are looking a bit screwy lol. I'm a fan of mutated cannabis though and love to see how they do so she's definitely staying around. I'm not a big auto grower myself so I don't have that high of expectations but I'm sure these ladies will look great once they get another week or two under their belts. We're continuing the alfalfa Ferment from Growing Organic (discount code CollinT), these girls have craft blend mixed into their medium so we won't be top dressing until late veg early flower. Then we'll throw down some castings and more craft for transition/early bloom. We'll see how well we do. Thanks for stopping by and we'll see ya next week.

Gorilla punch is the first one in clear cup

July 13 - Day 34 (Day 1 of Flowering) - Today, she was watered with at least 2.5L of water, BioGrow, BioBloom, and TopMax

It's been fun to see the 2 different pheno's develop of this strain, but now the Indica dominant one isn't going up anymore. I hope in the stretch phase she catches up with the rest. Switched to 12/12 on the 10th of november

Ultima settimana, max 10 giorni per il flush,e poi raccolgo....devo dire che questa watermelon della korngarden seeds non è venuta carica di tricomi (come la wedding cake) ma strutturalmente è venuta bella carica,i fiori sono grandi e duri come delle vere pannocchie 🤣😜✌️,poi vedremo ,vi dirò com'è da cremare

Will update later

March 2, 2021 (Week 8, Day 57, Flower 8): First day of week 8! Pots were light today so watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus at 6.0 pH. Runoff sitting at 6.4 pH. Removed all remaining LST ties from Unknown 1. Lots of healthy growth. The stretch continues. Averaging 50% rH and 70℉. March 3, 2021 (Week 8, Day 58, Flower 9): Another inch and a half of growth in the last 24hrs. Unknown 1 is leading the pack at 17" followed closely by Gelato 1 at 16.5". The runt is still Unknown 2 at 15.75". It's seriously crazy how fast these are growing now. Plants are looking amazing overall. Soil is still wet from yesterday. I'm not sure what one, but one of these plants is starting to smell like straight gasoline and I haven't even seen any buds yet. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. March 4, 2021 (Week 8, Day 59, Flower 10): More stretch overnight. Unknown 2 is trying to catch up to the others and grew about an inch and a half. Bud sites are looking great. I will definitely have to defoliate the lower fan leaves here eventually. Thinking about experimenting with two defoliation during flower. One at day 21 and another at day 42. Not sure if I can wait that long as there's already giant fan leaves getting relatively little light at the bottom of the canopy. We'll play it by ear. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. 👽 March 5, 2021 (Week 8, Day 60, Flower 11): Soil is dry and pots are still a little heavy. Will most likely water tomorrow. Plants tacked on a bunch more growth. They're growing healthy and steadily. Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. Nothing else for today. March 6, 2021 (Week 8, Day 61, Flower 12): Pots are light and leaves are slightly droopy - today is watering day. Watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 1ml/l Big Bud + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus at 6.0 pH. Runoff sitting at 6.2 pH. Vertical growth is looking fantastic. Gelato 1 is the first one out of the gate with bud formation. Pistils are starting to shoot out the top of the growth sites. Will be interesting to see how they develop over the next couple of days! Averaging 50% rH and 72℉. Happy Saturday! 😺 March 7, 2021 (Week 8, Day 62, Flower 13): Everything looks great. Plants perked way back up after the watering yesterday. More stretch. More bud development. Just loving how everything is coming together so far. Averaging 50% rH and 71℉. March 8, 2021 (Week 8, Day 63, Flower 14): Amazing what 24-hours can do. Unknown 2 is really kicking into high-gear starting to develop some dense looking buds and is smelling very, very sweet. Pistils are starting to shoot out everywhere, but not a crazy amount of stretch. Unknown 1 continues to stretch like crazy with minimal bud development so far - but the plant has started shooting pistils out everywhere. Gelato 1 is a mix of both stretching and bud development so far and is looking fantastic. Gelato 1 and Unknown 2 are so leafy I've had to tuck some leaves to expose the bud sites to light and air. I will do my first round of fan-leaf defoliation on flower day 21, but until then I'll continue tucking leaves. I tilled the top half-inch of soil in each plant. Averaging 50% rH and 71℉. I haven't filled my humidifier in days. My grow room is starting to smell amazing - it's hard to zip up the tent and walk away. This is so much fun so far. 😻 On to week 9!

Grow diary 11 stage 5 Days 41-50 During the week she had some training and I removed the damaged leaves. The whole grow has suffered from me not getting the watering schedule sorted. This westcoast hasn't started with the pistils yet but she can't be far off. Hopefully I haven't done to much damage.

Veg8, siguen creciendo bien, todavía quedan 2 plantas por sacrificar, lo decidiré en el próximo riego. Veg9, ya se seleccionaron las 9 plantas, se sacrificaron las últimas 2. Veg10, riego con 0.7 EC y pH 6.0, drenaje de 1.0 EC y 6.6 pH, se tendrá que seguir bajando el pH de los siguientes riegos, las plantas han estirado un poco más, en unos 2 días se hará transplante a los maceteros definitivos. Se planea hacer LST, pero ya que los nodos están muy juntos, si no estiran mucho tendré que hacer Main Lining. Veg11, nada significativo. Veg12, riego con 0.8 EC y pH 5.5, drenaje 1.0 EC y pH 6.5, plantas listas para transplante dentro de los próximos días, se comienza a mezclar el sustrato para los maceteros definitivos. Veg13, dia de transplante, sustrato con 50% de turba y 50% de vermiculita(sílice), se agrego dolomita para subir el pH del suelo a 5.5~5.8 y además la dolomita agrega calcio y magnesio al suelo, también se agregó yeso agrícola al sustrato el cual es de liberación lenta y agrega calcio y azufre. Al momento del transplante se rocía directamente las raices con voodoo juice, tarantula y piranha, además se espolvorea great white, una ves puesta en el nuevo sustrato, se riega con 1.2 EC y 5.5 pH, de micro, grow y bloom, además b-52, etc. Veg14, nada significativo, siguen creciendo bien, en unos 2 días más haré Main Lining.

We are at the end now and by God has this been a long one never thought i would find a bag seed and now be a new grower it's a good feeling to be here now waiting to clip and bag her can't wait to have the first smoke it better be fucking good 2 Oz has cost me £1245 so far without including bills so yh fingers crossed for me guys time will tell

Gave them their 3rd and final heavy defoliation this week. Had lots of useless side branching that will just shadow out the good stuff and cause them to not ripen properly, a lot of this growth was due to the unintended extra 10 days they had in VEG before I noticed the timer wasn't doing what I asked it to do, just one of those things. Always a surprise in the grow room no matter how much you try to prepare and problem solve. I also had an air line manifold blow out this week which was very strange to see. Caught it early so girls didn't go without air for to long and I have 2 air pumps running so 1 going down is only a minor issue but still a great example of the random mishaps that occur when growing. If its one thing that experience has taught me its that less is more when it comes to how many colas you try to fit into a space. Do to many and you'll just end up with a load of mids, battling humidity problems and stress of keeping tons of half ripe colas falling all over onto each other come week 6 or 7. Everything is going great so far, no issues, although I have noticed some of the white hairs on the budlets have slight ginger tops (only a very small few) I have read in the past that this can be a sign of stress and potentially they might flip the hermie but I've done nothing to stress them so I am hoping this is just a abnormality from growing under LED. Boosted the nutrients up to 1000PPM now to let them feed heavy and pump those buds up. Hope you enjoy watching my grow and thank you all for the lovely comments and feedback, it is much appreciated ✌️

The grow is going fast enough and 0 problems,the smell is very very strong.

77 days, for some reason, the girl is growing without me :( the vacation was unexpectedly long, I only managed to get these photos, I'll be back to see them next week on Tuesday, I think it might be harvest day :).
