26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

New week for the Fast bud 420 The CBD crack the cheese and purple lemonade are a couple days further into the stretch and getting tall. The rest definitely have some stretching to go. I come to realize tho and i already semi knew it that this is probably gone be the only autoflower run i will do The strains that have 35 of veg and 30 to 40 flowering are perfect as auto flower quick turnaround On the other hand tho auto flower that take 65 to 70 of Flowering are not in my opinion this is as long as normal photoperiod plant and that gets way bigger more yield etc . I don't see the point of growing a autoflower with 60 days of flowering Then just get a photoperiod Strain and let it Flower week 4 ore when ever you want Control control control 6/11/22 Did some light defoliation 2 to 4 leafs per plant 9/11/22 So far it all goes without any issues I my self is Struggling a lil bit with what ore when to feed some nutrients because of shorter flowering time by some don't want to over feed them to much so flushing don't take for ever 10/11/22 Stretch update cheese strain is not stopping as you see here in back middle she now around 110cm More updates Tru the week Happy growings growmies

We're in the sixth week of flowering, and now the scents are starting to get very strong, and the buds are completely covered in resin. I've decided to only feed them microorganism-enriched water from now on. The compost tea has eliminated any deficiencies, and the plants are now in perfect shape for the final weeks. Harvest is about 25-30 days away. I can't wait to harvest these buds.

This week I defoliated the Honey Melon Haze and the O.G. Kush. It's the first time I try this. The broken stem of the O.G. Kush seems to grow pretty well so far. Nice! Humidity goes from 50-55% during the day to 80% after the night without dehumidifier (too noisy during the night). I poor 2l of tap water during each watering for the 26l pots and 1l for the 10l pot. The two Mandarin Punch Auto grew a lot this week, the stretch has surely started! They are now even taller then the Honey Melon Haze and the O.G. Kush. Plants heights at the end of the week: Honey Melon Haze : 50cm O.G. Kush : 44cm Mandarin Punch #1 : 54cm Mandarin Punch #2 : 52cm Tomorrow, I will switch to 12h of light to start the stretch of the two photoperiod plants.

Gave her a good defoliation this week along with spreading out the branches a little. Couldnt bend the main cola over as it is still recovering from the damage. Overal she seems to be healthy. Been removing leaves here and there and she doesnt seem to mind at all.

I've finally managed to stabilize the PH value at around 6. The lamp has been running at 600W for 10 days. It gets really warm in the tent but the buds get nice and thick :) Or do you prefer 400W then I can keep the temperature better at around 24 degrees

grew well despite some kind of immobile nutrient deficiency in the growth cycle. yield is good. Responds very well to some LST. My experience with this strain suggests a longer curing time to temper the unique sweetness of this strain.

Easy grow cycle, 5 weeks of vegetation and 7 to 8 weeks of flowering and they are good to harvest. For drying I only removed the bigger fan leaves. Now they are hanging upside down in the tent to dry for about 8 to 10 days before trimming and getting a proper dry weight.

Sorry I didn't update yesterday. Been bending limbs down to keep a consistent height. Using LST and HST this time. Soon I'll be identifying which branches from which plants will make the final cut. I've been very rough on these plants and they all continue to thrive. But I've noticed a clear distinction between some that are fast growing and some that are slow growing, under the exact same care. Since this is a relatively new breed I'll be interested in how they differ at harvest. I'm noticing most of my challenge now is to get the branches all at a consistent height for the switch at the ScrOG net. The challenge is not among individual branches, but among slower and faster growing plants. This would be much easier if I had a way to raise or lower whole plants in the grow. Not likely in a hydro setup, water seeking its level and all.
