Chopped her two days into week 14. What else. Buds. There are a lot of them. And they are quite large. And they look like they will require little effort to trim. What more can I wish for? I am a very happy man. Upd 1: Trimming is SO SIMPLE! Not much sticking out to begin with, because of the amazing bud structure and me plucking most bud node fans. Solid nugs which are not bothered by anything, so pulling smaller sub-bud fans is very simple too, while the buds are what I would call moist. I'll call this Moist Trim 😄 ✂️✂️✂️ Went for the best trimming tools available on the market (well at least my research concluded so) and LOVING every minute of trimming with the B-500SRF. Why would I or anyone else use something less suitable or less comfortable for such a delicate and long job is beyond me, except if you cannot afford one right now, in which case I wish you to experience it one day. Fiskars are also very good in therms of the blades, coating and cutting ability and precision, but the spring is just too stiff, like way, way to stiff for something that is to be used for hours on end. One might argue that such spring force helps overcome resin buildup, but please just rinse your instrument regularly in an appropriate solvent (ethy, iso, whatever — consider you instrument materials as well) and wipe it after. Why would you let significant amounts of resin to accumulate on such a gentle and precise tool? Kinda defeats the purpose?

Day 22 - Rolling into week 4 looking mean and green! 💪 I need to make a decision on what kind of training I want to dish out to this lady. She's growing a bit faster than her tent mates. Day 23 - Always experimenting - today I begin my first mainline! I've already built the foundation by allowing the plant to grow to 6 nodes, as recommended by the tutorial I followed by the brilliant Miss Nebula Haze @growweedeasy. My next step is documented here in a video, as I take my lush, happy, healthy plant, and give her the kind of haircut that makes you want to storm out of the salon without leaving a tip. 😂 I even managed to get in my signature branch snap early in the game - being held together now with duct tape. 🤦‍♀️ In all seriousness though, I'm thrilled to be trying this out, despite the agony of cutting down my plant to nothing but a stump and antennae. I've seen some great growers create some serious masterpieces using this method, and damn it my curiosity is taking control! Here's to learning something new! Day 27 - Came home from vacation to find that my plant had hulked through the duct tape that held her snapped branch together... I guess she's doing well. ☺️ Over the course of the past few days her branches have gotten notably thicker! 💪 Day 28 - Now that each new main stem has grown out, I removed all the growth tips from below the 3rd node on each side. I left the fan leaves in tact to give plant access to extra energy as she pushes through this intense training. I softened the branches with my fingers, very slowly, to tie down my new main stems horizontally across the net basket. I took a sterilized x-acto knife to then top each of my two main stems at the 3rd node on each side, leaving me with a beautifully symmetrical base to my masterpiece.

Got the Spider Farmer wicking system set up with a reservoir. Up until now I’ve been using purchased pure water since it came with a better starting pH than my tap. After running the numbers, the cost of hauling jugs didn’t make sense long term. I ended up grabbing an RV water inline filter for the garden hose, which strips out most of the chlorine and other contaminants I was worried about. Goal was mostly a stable water source because the girls are getting thirsty; I still prefer hand-watering to wet and activate the top dress. Access is only from one side of the 5×5, so as they bulk up I’m learning the back two are a chore to reach. The wicking pads help keep things even between rounds, but I’m still going in by hand to finish the job. Did a defoliation pass; airflow and light paths improved, but I may need to push it a bit further because I don’t want a lot of larf. Crazy how much plant material I pulled off but they seem fine. Light feels like the current yield limiter. The SF4000 is solid but a touch undersized for full 5×5 penetration, the lower canopy isn’t getting what I want. I’m eyeing a higher-wattage bar style light for better edge uniformity and deeper PAR at canopy. I’ve been testing edge light saturation with the SpiderF PPFD sensor at canopy height. Center readings are strong but the corners and long edges are clearly lacking. Smaller tent or smaller plants another option maybe. Im at 100% on my light and will be for the rest of the grow just raising it to keep distance. Plants look happy overall. The Durban Cookies is standing out, taller and more vigorous than the 10th Planets especially for being a week younger than the rest. I am guessing it will be harvested first just by stretch speed alone. The 10th Planets R1s all have a pretty even canopy going but showing stretch. Wicking system + hand-water combo is keeping the media right where I want it, and the top dress from last week is kicking in. Reminding everyone this is my first grow. Hoping for a pound dry, but I won’t be greedy. Keeping my expectations realistic! Thanks for following along.

******* Week 7 Flower - October 31 to Nov 6, 2020, Days 43 to 49 ********* This was flush week.......hurry the hell up and flush week!!!!!😃 This strain is an 8 week strain!! She was close to ready at the end of the week, Day 49. Start your flush week 6......I waited for week 7 thinking she would go 9 weeks. Gave them two doses fo Flawless Finish and 10 gallons of water each. Cant do much more than that🤞👍 She is a sticky girl........move any leaves around and you find out just how much😃 These are some nice Freakin looking buds!!!!!! Beautiful colours and so frosty all the way down the fan leaves........so pissed off at myself because I missed her flush timming.....there are some beautiful purples and yellows in this strain that I missed!☹️ Little more detail....... Nov 1/20, Day 44 - Heavy flush day today. - 32L of tap water with 180oom and 5.7pH going into the girls. - runoff numbers for the girls were both pretty close to the same at 185ppm and 6.3pH. - last 3.5L of flush contained Flawless Finish @ 2ml/L. - Decided I do need to use a flushing agent with these girls......they are so close to done now!!!!! Nov 3/20, Day 46 - Another flushing agent watering today. - each girl given roughly 5L mixture of half tap water and half RO water with Flawless Finish at 4ml/L - More than I would normally do but feeling a little desperate at this point!!! - I am almost feeling like C472 is close to pulling now........damn.....I need a couple of more days yet so just going to let more go amber and hopefully she will continue to take the water and flush herself. Nov 6/20, Day 49 - 1L of plain water for each girl. 25ppm and 6.2pH. - we are at the finish line.....just keeping the pot moist right now. - they are ready for darkness anytime now........they are......I am not😂 Looking good Apolo.......Trichomes are lots and smells are plentiful👍 They finishing too damn fast though😀😀 Good problems I guess, wish I cut some clones to run her one more time and stop feed at week 5 flower😞

Pretty resistant to wpm but still susceptible. I'd like to breed in more resistance but that may lower cbd content. So we will see what she taste like and go from there and

I've brought the PPM down again and kept the pH at 5.7-5.8, plant looks great first grow so very happy, Alot of Trichomes and don't know if I should be getting ready to flush and harvest, buds still getting fatter and she's still thirsty and drinking water but a lot of amber pistils and not sure if the crystals are clear or Milky but plant looks Great, just unsure when to harvest, I've reduced nutes a little more and calyxs still fattening up, gonna hopefully start flushing at end of this week for about 2-3 days in my 4gallon bucket

Day 22 25/07/24 Thursday Still no Feed/water since Tuesday. Been a humid and overcast two days so not as much evaporation as normal. All plants happy and healthy 💚 Video updates Day 23 26/07/24 Friday De-chlorinated watering pH 6 with 5ml calmag to 5L water. Watered each with 250ml and had small run off. I will continue to feed/water with small run offs to help prevent salt build ups. Video update. Day 26 29/07/24 Monday Nice feed today, using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. They each had 300ml with small run off. All looks incredibly happy and healthy! The Auto Kabul that was mutated and twisted has pulled herself through and is just a bit shorter than the others. Day 28 31/07/24 Wednesday End of week😁 De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚

Let's see how it goes. I raised up the water so it is now 150ml 2x per plant so 300 per plant per day. The same with fertilization and the same days remain. I keep 14 hours darkness and 10 hours light schedule for Purple Punch obviously I take out from the tent and put separately. I can't wait to harvest the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe so I can use the tent for the Purple Punch. I give 18 hours light on so 12 hours on 4 hours off and 6 hours on 2 hours off. Basically, it was the only solution because I put the Purple Punch in at 23:00 o clock and take out at 9 am. So the light on from 23:00 to 11 am and then 15:00-21:00 and off from 21:00 to 23:00. It was the only good way based on my timeline working hours and school. I also see the first signs of flowering after 7 days of light schedule change of the Purple Punch. Hope it goes well. They have a totally different smell, both strong, but the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is like sweet and aromatic, and also like a muck heap 🤐😅👻The Purple Punch has strong smell but not sweet more like citrus. Saturday: I always had some yellow fan leaves but now it is getting more on the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe. Hopefully, it causes the flowering stage because the plant wants to use the energy for buds making and takes out of the leaves, so it is a natural process. I read that it means the plant is on the halfway of the flower. Hope the best. Tuesday: Purple Punch does well flowering, and the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe I think one more week so I will start flushing from tomorrow. I have checked the trichomes, they are cloudy, milky and the pistils started getting brown also so soon it will be done. The fan leaves also getting yellow as it can be seen so I think the next is the final week, if not then no more than 2 weeks and it is done. I can't really wait... End of this week Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 70cm and the Purple Punch is 40 cm.

***** Week 7 December 30/20 to Jan 5/21 - Days 43 to 49 from germination ***** Week 6 went well overall and she got her colour back for the most part the last week. She is pretty green now and is looking good for the next week. In fact, watch the ppm going in now and keep it below 1,000ppm so we don't have issues flushing her soon. She only has about two weeks of feed left and then we will be down to water only........likely stop in the high 50's, maybe day 60.......we should be okay though......the last feed day just seems to come so quickly with autos😀 I love autos as they allow you to add variety to your smoke because they finished quickly........10 or 11 weeks idea typically. You really have to keep on your game though for the first 4 weeks........keep them happy everyday otherwise you lose veg growth😞 This girl has had some early issues with getting enough nitrogen and I am seeing some of those effects now, later on in growth, and her main stem is not as thick as I think it should be for big thick buds but she has grown well and showing some beautiful legs on her😁 She is week 3 of flower and for an auto flower and this is the week I typically hit them hard with nutrients and ensure they have lots of light intensity. Since she has been doing very well the last days this means I will keep a closer eye on her ppm, I don't think that I should break 1,000ppm with her......or not by very much as we hit her with the last bloom additives..........she is looking a nice green at the start of the week. I think that I will keep with adding Rezin from Green Planet Nutrients to help with trichome production and Terpinator for the terpene production. Keep up the CalMag this week as well and then start tapering off, same for silica. She is feeding hard at the start of the week and she is being watered twice a day now........she is finishing the 2L to 2.5L that stays in her media within 24 hours now. Therefore, have to watch ppm with that much liquid going into her😲 Her colours are popping on her obviously and she is certainly living up to her name. The main stems are bright green but I am noticing some purple on some, so ensuring I keep the CalMag right now. Her fan leaf stems are quite purple as well. There is obviously going to be some genetics at play with the colour but there is still signs of some stress there. Will continue to remove some lower bud sites from her this week but will keep the fan leaves where possible. She has some long branches and because the node spacing is so large she appears to be lacking some leaves for photosynthesis so I don't want to remove any that she continues to need......just take the bud sites so she can focus on the upper buds. Trying to minimize stress this will happen over a few days and keep an eye on how she reacts to their removal. She is looking fabulous Fast Buds and growing with a crazy amount of vigor and shooting out some long branches!!! Impressive so far😍👍 Little more detail........ Dec 30/20, Day 43 - she is looking taller again this morning😀 - Pulled her out quickly to test the weight of the pot and she needs watering again today. - The leaf colour is quite green now when you pull her out and look at them under natural light.......back off ppm next two watering's and keep CalMag, Terpinator, and microbes for now only. - 11:00am she had 2L watering with Magnifical @ 1ml, Enzymes Komplete and Microbial Mass @ 2ml = 175ppm and 5.7pH Dec 31/20, Day 44 - pots are really light this morning. - 2.5L feeding with Terpinator @ 3ml, MagNifiCal and Rezin @ 2ml Natures Candy @ 1ml = 600ppm and 5.9pH - pulled her out and trimmed off a fair bit of lower branching. Did it now before she gets too far into flower. - she has some long branches and those lower sites are getting a lot less light intensity. Trimmed off some lower bud sites and left some of the fan leaves. - It was actually fairly aggressive stripping so will keep an eye on her and see how she reacts......should have added some kelp and vitamin B to the feed but didn't😶 Jan 1/21, Day 45 - watering in the morning. - 2.5L watering with CalMag, VeloKelp and Vitathrive @ 1.5ml = 400ppm and 6.0pH (Had to add Terpinator for 1ml/L to bring down the pH......missed it so added something, too much pH up was added.) - They have been given a lot of ppm this week so backing off a bit and just giving some basics as using RO water. - She has some huge potential to yield but with her only in a 3 gal pot.......I feel like I shot myself in the foot and she should have certainly had a 5gal pot!!!! - Toxicity signs popping up......water only for at least next three days!!!!!! Jan 2/21, Day 46 - pots are dry and time for moisture again. - plain water only!!!!! She is showing signs of some excess from pushing them harder this week. - backing off and let her use some of the nutes she already has in her. - 2.5L water with Enzymes @ 1ml = 15ppm and 5.7pH - droopy in the morning........see how they look in a couple of hours. - closed the door to the room last night and temps in the tent were 97 degrees this morning.......they will bounce back but it definitely impacted them last night. - temps shot up closer to 98 range, pots were dry so no moisture for them, they were already starting to battle toxicity, and then a light on a timer kicked that shouldn't and the girls were under too much light for 12 hours!!!! Yesterday, they looked worse and worse and as the day progressed. - Temps dropped in the tent to 72 degrees, humidity dropped to 52%, lights turned down to just one 135W in the 3 x 3.........just let them play out the day like that. Jan 3/21, Day 47 - well F!!!!!!! What happened the night of Jan1/Jan2 was not good. F.....F.....F.... - pots still had a little weight to them this morning. Not normal for the last week......they should have been almost bone dry this morning! - Have two of the lights on dim today. Temps at 77 degrees and humidity at 57%.......trying to keep them cool and dark. - watered each girl with 2L plain water only. PPM was 15 and pH was 5.4..........lowered the pH a bit. - So F.......not much you can do damn it. Lots of plain water for next couple of days and keep them darker....... Jan 4/20, Day 48 - So getting over it and stop being pissed off, the girls were put in to dark spots and rotated the pots to reduce the light and stop the hurt😀 - Cooled them off 68 degrees for yesterday and the evening. Humidity was dropped to 50% and give some plain water. - She is pulling out of it. She has lost at least 12 leaves to the stress and the toxicities took over those leaves and dried them out. - All you can do is accept it now and work on keeping the rest of her happy and out of harms way and she is coming. - looking better today in the sense that the leaf tip curl is backing off and they are straightening out. - It is the very top of 3 colas that the most impacted......those that were closest to the lights. - water day to help keep them getting some moisture and keep them not looking for moisture. - 2L plain water with VeloKelp and Rezin @ 1ml = 85ppm and 5.7pH - they have not had a base nutrient feed this week.......just Terpinator, CalMag, Kelp, Microbes, Enzyems, and Rezin........unfortunate but have lost three days now to this light/heat issue....F...!

Week 6 flower, half way there! Buds are starting to fill in now and getting some decent frost. A couple of tops are getting more light than others, and fattening a bit more and looking real nice. It looks like there is some purple starting to come out at the tops. She is strong and will go as fast as the soil and environmental conditions will allow her to. Hand watered in Gaia Green Soluble Seaweed Extract 0-0-17, otherwise water drip is running on same schedule. Just using straight tap water that sits in a 30 gallon reservoir with a submergible water pump running 24/7 breaking surface and aerating water. Water comes out the tap @ 7ph and less than 15ppm. So I don’t do nothing to it, I drink it:) Thanks for the view 🤜 Have a great week!

25/06/2021 (F DAY 28) Se agregó unos 5L de comida en modo top dress. Se agregó harina de todo tipo, humus, compost, microkashi, bokashi, guano, etc. La flora viene muy bien y los olores son muy intensos y sabrosos. Sweet Cheese: Posee el desarrollo de flora mas rápido, lleno de tricomas y con un aroma intenso a queso. Black Afghalien: Posee un característica muy particular de pistilos super finos, el olor a incienso con resinas es increíble. El color característico negro de la black está apareciendo al mes de flora con el descenso de la temperatura. Pomelo Haze: Es la flora más lenta pero sin duda alguna es uno de los mejores terrenos que poseo en esta carpa. Tiene bastante distancia internodal y muy poca ramificación.

Actualización 05/10/2024 ¡Hola, growers! Perdón por no poder compartir las semanas completas, pero poco a poco volvemos a la normalidad. Las fotos que ven corresponden al día 01/10/24 y, como pueden ver, están llenas de terpenos y tricomas por todas partes. Tanto la Fruit Gum como la Biscotti x Candy Rain son dos de las cepas más resinosas que he cultivado y, además, desprenden un olor increíblemente fuerte. La Fruit Gum tiene esos toques dulces y nostálgicos, como a chicle de mascar, que me transportan directamente a mi infancia. En cuanto a la Biscotti x Candy Rain, su aroma es como el de una clásica galleta americana casera, ¡muy intenso! Ambas cepas me están impresionando mucho por su resinosidad y aromas únicos. Cabe destacar que las genéticas de Uktha Genetics me han sorprendido gratamente; los resultados están siendo fantásticos. Eso sí, estas cepas comen como camiones, pero mientras se mantenga un control exhaustivo de las fertilizaciones y del medio de cultivo, no hay problema de sobrefertilización. Pronto cortaremos una de las plantas que está bastante adelantada. Espero que disfruten tanto como yo este proceso y, como siempre, ¡buenos humos para todos! 🌱💨

Really happy with how she’s turning out with massive bulking in this last stretch! GC is an amazing strain that I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for something very unique! Flushes are all done and we have about a week or two left, trichomes are all still very clear under the microscope want to wait for some borderline ambering before I chop her.
